Yesterday was Xiaomi EV day, but fans of Xiaomi smartphones and wearables will also get their money's worth even sooner than the first SU7 and SU7 Max electric cars. The Xiaomi 14, Xiaomi 14 Pro and the Xiaomi Watch S3 are now available in the two pretty new colors of the Xiaomi electric fleet - at least in China.

Just a few more days before 2024 starts we can now also see the first official render images and teaser videos of Oppo's high-end camera flagship, which is set to set itself apart from the competition with Hasselblad tuning, dual periscope telefotos and a new 1-inch sensor. Oppo has now also commented the official launch date and the configurations available in China.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite, priced at $219.99 (originally $430) on Amazon, is a standout budget tablet currently available with a 49% discount on Amazon. Boasting a 10.4-inch display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G processor, and S Pen, it offers reliable performance and great value for users prioritising affordability and quality.

Honor has now confirmed that there will indeed be a GT version of its X50 Android smartphone, and that it will launch soon. A notorious leaker purports to back the OEM's combative claims of its performance up with further specific details in advance. They include a larger-than-average battery to go with its high-end display and high-res main camera.

OPPO has indicated that the Find X7 series will be its first smartphones to launch with a new AI assistant out of the box. AndesGPT is based on a large language model (LLM) rated to respond up to 3.5 times faster than the industry average (depending on word-count). It is also backed to complete tasks such as generating high-quality images up to 60% faster than rival models.

Vivo is now believed to have a third-gen foldable smartphone in the works. The X Fold3 is painted as capable of taking on rivals such as the OnePlus Open with on-trend camera specs such as a periscope zoom lens. However, it is also slated to upgrade to the current top-end Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, while retaining a feature missing from its potential OnePlus counterpart.

Samsung's Galaxy A15, soon to be globally released, will undergo rebranding as part of the Galaxy M lineup. Reports suggest an upcoming Galaxy M15 with a larger 6,000 mAh battery, following the trend of its predecessor, the M14. The Galaxy A15, featuring a 6.5-inch 90Hz Super AMOLED display, MediaTek Helio G99 chip, and configurations up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, stands out as Samsung's budget-friendly choice eligible for four major OS upgrades.

A new leak has revealed the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra prices. All three flagships are supposedly €50 cheaper than their predecessors in Europe.

From the same leaker that recently provided us with some of the first images of One UI 6.1 comes an official-looking infographic that provides us with a comparison of many important technical specifications of Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+ and Galaxy S24 Ultra. A lot of those are already known, but this is the first time that we seemingly learn how Samsung plans to distribute Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Exynos 2400 in their international models.

OnePlus has announced that the launch conference of the Ace 3 is scheduled for January 4, 2024. It will come equipped with what the brand calls an "Oriental Screen," featuring a peak brightness of 4500 NITS and 8T LTPO design. Also, Li Jie Louis confirmed that it will offer the same flagship visual experience as the OnePlus 12.

A new tablet, the Teclast P30T, is now available with Android 14. The model is on offer at a very reasonable price and is aimed at customers with more general requirements.

The Neo9 series has emerged today as iQOO's latest 144Hz display Android smartphones. They also boast the largest batteries of their mid-range line thus far, with flagship-grade charging across the board to boot. The newly-launched devices offer up to 1TB of internal storage, new or nearly-new top-end silicon and 50MP main cameras for ~$560 at the most.

Xiaomi HyperOS debuted in China with the launch of the Xiaomi 14 series. It will soon break covers in the international regions on the first quarter of next year. But it seems the global version of the custom operating system will come with a new face as Lei Jun, the CEO, has just introduced a new logo. Also, it will reportedly be available on more than 100 devices.

Once again, Samsung will offer a Galaxy S24 base model in 2024 that hardly deserves the title flagship. According to a recent report from supply chain sources, this is not only because of the tight storage space or limited RAM, but also due to the storage modules themselves.

Xiaomi is keeping its global fans waiting for the latest Leica camera in the Xiaomi 14. Following rumors that the Pro model might not even be available internationally, a leaker has now provided us with the planned launch date in Europe, India and other parts of the world. Unfortunately this is not very good news for international Xiaomi-fans. Xiaomi should take a leaf out of Nubia's book!

CheckMag The Redmi line of smartphones has come a long way since the first model was released in 2013. However, out of the dozens of models that have hit store shelves, some have stood out from the rest and have had a bigger impact. Here are four of the most notable Redmi smartphones ever released.

The OnePlus 12R is projected to debut as a secondary variant for the OEM's upcoming flagship smartphone on the global market in 2024 - but not before it does so as the Ace 3 in China. It is now officially slated to debut with one of the brand's most innovative, distinctive finish options to date.

Honor has officially set the date on which its new flagship smartphones will be unveiled. The "sufficiently advanced" Magic6 series will also upgrade to the latest version of the OEM's Android skin on that day, and are also expected to introduce their inaugural top-end limited edition variant - which might help explain why their launch is to be stretched out into a two-day event in early 2024.

Already available spare parts for Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ may give us new clues as to which additional color options Samsung may have planned as exclusive colors in their official store once the Galaxy S23 successors goe on sale during the first month of 2024.

A leaker has provided further details about the Vivo X100 Pro+ or Vivo X100 Ultra camera flagship, which is expected to be launched in 2024. Based on a prototype, the triple cam equipped with 4.3x optical zoom appears to be quite versatile and can apparently reach ridiculous sounding digital zoom-levels.

Huawei is expected to debut the Nova 12 series later today. The high-end model of the lineup, Nova 12 Ultra, will feature the Huawei Kirin 9000SL, which many thought to be a new chipset. But recent reports suggest that it’s a downgraded version of the Kirin 9000S.

Android phones will soon get a battery health indicator to indicate the degree of battery degradation, as per Android expert Mishaal Rahman. This is based on the latest Pixel Feature Drop, which adds charge cycle count, and a hidden “battery health” page in Android 14 Beta. While iPhones have had this feature for a few years, Android users have had to rely on inaccurate third party apps.

We’ve had multiple reports on Huawei expanding its chipset portfolio, and recent events have proved that these reports were correct. Earlier this month, the Kirin 9006C was spotted inside a China-exclusive laptop named Qingyun L540. Now, the Huawei Kirin 8000 has surfaced in an upcoming smartphone called Nova 12 Pro.

Isn't there something missing this year? That's right - there hasn't been a blinded smartphone camera test with the most important camera flagships in 2023 yet - until now. Traditionally, this one comes from Tech-Youtuber MKBHD, but this time another YouTube channel is beating him to it. Once again, the results are highly surprising, and the winner of the most votes is quite the outsider phone.

The ROG Phone 8 series will launch alongside a whole new mobile controller with a whole new name, according to a new leak. The Tessen is slated to come with all the analog controls, buttons and triggers needed to make gaming on the go seem as close to a home console as possible. It may also aim for greater versatility with an innovative multi-mode design.

A few hours before Christmas, a leaker provided the first look into the Galaxy S24 Ultra with its newish quad-cam module based on a 200 megapixel main camera and the new 50 megapixel telephoto shooter. That one may have more in common with the zoom camera of modern flagships like the Vivo X100 Pro than with the 10x telephoto of Samsungs predecessor Galaxy S23 Ultra.

Reports from sources close to Fossil or who have contracted its employees point out that the brand will no longer release Wear OS watches. This means there won’t be Gen 7 smartwatches. It’s also unclear if the Gen 6 wearables will receive the Wear OS 4 update.

CheckMag At long last, Android tablet makers are ready to beat Apple at its own game meaning just one of the three products comes from the "It Just Works" brand. There are also tablets from manufacturers like Samsung and Xiaomi also included on this list.

iQOO has decided that it cannot wait until its new mid-range Android smartphones debut to share their new finish options, each complete with new name and back-story, with the world. They are slated to launch as the Neo9 and Neo9 Pro, the latter of which is now tipped to debut with a premium amount of RAM to go with its high-end Dimensity 9300 platform.

Samsung's next Galaxy XCover-series smartphone is coming to Europe, according to a new leak. It is tipped to hit the market with "nice" specs for its typically rugged category of Android devices. Nevertheless, it may also have an attractive price on its supposedly upcoming launch.

We are still a few months away from the rumoured arrival of the Nothing Phone (2a). Nonetheless, full camera specifications for the mid-range smartphone have leaked online, as have numerous official wallpapers.

The Redmi Note 13 series of potentially affordable yet attractively-spec'd Android smartphones is definitely coming to India soon - now, the brand has confirmed outright that its Pro variants will be an option. The devices are currently being teased as bringing their headlining features with them thus far, although some eagle-eyed Xiaomi fans might have already noticed that there is something else missing here.

While Apple has AirDrop, a service for sharing data between users of Apple devices, the situation in the Android ecosystem is more complex. In addition to Google's Nearby Share, there is Samsung's Quick Share as well as the cooperation of a number of Chinese smartphone manufacturers in the Mutual Transfer Alliance. At present, the prospect that Android will soon have a more universal standard for data exchange is looking good.

The Moto G34 is Motorola's latest mid-range handset following the releases of the Moto G54 and Moto G84 a few months ago. While a Chinese exclusive for now, the Motorola Moto G34 is expected to receive a global launch at some stage.

A renowned leaker has published countless Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24 Plus and Galaxy S24 Ultra renders before Samsung's next Galaxy Unpacked event. With over 50 unique images provided, Samsung has little to reveal in under a month's time.

President of OnePlus China, Li Jie Louis, has uploaded a teaser poster of the OnePlus Ace 3 on Weibo. According to it, the slogan of the upcoming phone is “It’s my turn, the performance killer,” suggesting that the smartphone will push further than its predecessors.

Honor debuts the Honor 90 GT, a flagship-killer featuring the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, up to 24 GB RAM and a 6.7-inch AMOLED display. Boasting a 50 MP main camera, a 5000 mAh battery with 100W fast charging, vapor chamber cooling, and MagicOS 7.2 on Android 14, the device promises a compelling user experience.

Honor has held a launch event in China, which unrolled the curtains on a brand-new tablet. Called the Honor Pad 9, it brings a good number of upgrades over the Pad 8. But the tablet's standout feature is its paper-like matte screen, which doubles down on eye protection.

The Pocket 4 Pro is Retroid's most powerful gaming handheld to date. Available for under $200, the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro features a MediaTek Dimensity 1100 chipset, 8 GB of LPDDR4X RAM and a 5,000 mAh battery.

Retroid has started selling the Pocket 4, one of three gaming handhelds that it has released today. Available in one of six colour options, the Retroid Pocket 4 combines a 5,000 mAh battery with a MediaTek Dimensity 900 chipset, 4 GB of RAM and and a 4.7-inch display, among other hardware.

According to a new leak, Samsung will officially announce the Galaxy S24, S24+, and S24 Ultra on January 17. The phones will largely feature similar specs to their predecessors, with the Korean giant likely relying on exclusive AI capabilities to set them apart.

The release of the Galaxy S24 series is not rumoured to be happening until the new year. Nonetheless, Android Headlines has got its hands on over 30 official images of the Samsung Galaxy S24 in four of its launch colours.

Marques Brownlee has revealed his thoughts on the best and worst smartphones released this year. For the first time, MKBHD has included a category for best foldable, which joins nine other categories, including 'bust of the year'.

The RedMagic 9 Pro can easily be mistaken for a "smartphone from 2030" thanks to its cutting-edge camera hump-free design - according to Zach Nelson, that is. Nevertheless, the new Android gaming powerhouse was very much in the present for the popular vlogger's classic battery of bend, burn and scratch tests - augmented in this case by putting the device's hidden selfie camera under the microscope.

Redmi has announced a "new record" for its current flagship K70 line of Android smartphones: 1 million units sold in just 14 days. The devices are also now backed to build on their reputation for "championship speed" with the imminent launch of the new Lamborghini Edition of the top-end K70 Pro.

An earlier One UI 6.1 leak provided details about a number of interesting AI functions in Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S24 generation and some earlier Samsung phones. Now, further One UI 6.1 features have been leaked, which supposedly aim to improve video recordings and are somewhat reminiscent of Google's Video Boost feature.

OPPO's Find X7 series has yet to launch, yet is the subject of rumors hinting that things will be very different in this generation compared to its predecessors. The latest twist in this tale is that its Pro variant has been discontinued, and that only its Ultra and vanilla counterparts remain. The former will allegedly still encompass all of the OEM's top-of-the-line upgrades, however - OPPO's latest premium display included.

Nubia has brought the Z60 Ultra to global audiences, a few hours after presenting the handset globally. As a result, the Nubia Z60 Ultra becomes the first smartphone available globally with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, Qualcomm's latest flagship chipset. The Nubia Z60 Ultra is comparatively cheap too, with a $569, £599, and €599 launch price, including pre-order discounts.

The Nubia Z60 Ultra has now arrived, following a lengthy teaser campaign. Not only does the smartphone sport Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, but it also offers new UDC technology and a 35 mm primary camera, among other features.
