Samsung Galaxy XCover Pro successor is allegedly spotted in new leaks

Samsung is now believed to have a new member of its rugged XCover smartphone series in the works. Confusingly, some of them paint it as a second-gen Pro, whereas others construe it as an upgrade for the 5. Either way, it is expected to arrive with specs such as an FHD display and Bluetooth 5.2.

Review: Oppo Find X5 Lite Smartphone

84% Oppo Find X5 Lite review: Mid-range smartphone in optical disguise

Somewhat misses its mark. Like the Oppo Find X5 Pro, the Find X5 Lite also aims to court the favor of price-conscious buyers with a fast OLED display, artificial intelligence and rapid charging times. In some respects, however, the Oppo phone lags behind the competition in this price range.

OPPO Find N2 and its clamshell counterpart are tipped to go ahead at the expense of the OEM's rollable device project

OPPO released its first foldable smartphone in 2021, and is now projected to add a second generation of the same device, as well as a first-gen clamshell alternative, in 2022. A famous leaker has now mentioned what might be a product name of the former for the first time, and also offers an update on the OEM's 'X' rollable prototype since its unveiling some time ago.
