The Redmi Note 12T Pro is Xiaomi's latest mid-range smartphone and the second Redmi Note 12 series model released this month.

Analyst Ross Young has provided more details about the colour options Samsung has created for the Galaxy Z Flip5 and Galaxy Z Fold5. While the pair are expected to share a few options, there will be more colours available for the Galaxy Z Flip5 than the Galaxy Z Fold5.

A new leak says the MediaTek Dimensity 9300 will feature four Cortex-X4 and four Cortex-A720 cores, ditching the Cortex-A5xx cluster entirely. Its performance supposedly surpasses that of the Apple A17 Bionic and likely the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

Two European retailers have listed the Xiaomi 13 Ultra, Xiaomi's current premier smartphone. While leakers alleged that the Xiaomi 13 Ultra would launch in Europe for €1,499, both retailers point to much lower pricing, as little as the Xiaomi 13 Pro.

The Honor 90 builds on last year's Honor 80, although it is closer to the Honor 90 Pro in some areas. Equipped with a Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset, the Honor 90 also has a 1200p AMOLED display, a 200 MP primary camera and a 5,000 mAh battery

Honor has presented two new smartphones today in its home market today, one of which being the Honor 90 Pro. While the smartphone shares some features with its predecessor, it also has a new camera set-up, among other changes.

Xiaomi is preparing to release the Redmi Note 12T Pro, a new mid-range smartphone. Not only has the company revealed the device's release date, but it has also revealed various specifications following a Geekbench appearance.

OnePlus is now thought to launch a second-gen Ace Pro in China - which, if so, is an increasingly sure sign that it might debut as a new variant of the flagship 11 in the rest of the world. However, it might not have that Android smartphone's design this time around - in fact, it could look much more like the latest mid-ranger from OPPO instead.

MediaTek has announced it will be working with Nvidia to develop its next generation of automotive chips. They will support Nvidia's software library and even include an Nvidia GPU connected via Nvlink.

A leaker has revealed what this year's Redmi K60 Ultra and Xiaomi 13T Pro will look like. Both due towards the tail end of 2023, the pair are expected to launch with 144 Hz displays and MediaTek Dimensity 9200 Plus chipsets, among other features.

Tecno has officially brought its latest Camon-series smartphones to the Indian market, its 20 Premier flagship included. It packs a 108MP shooter in its distinctive, angular rear camera hump, and also offers a large AMOLED display driven by a mid-range MediaTek Dimensity processor. It is joined by 20 and 20 Pro siblings slated to start at ~US$180 in their new region.

The barely unveiled Doogee V20 Pro and S100 Pro bring new combinations of highlights into the Chinese OEM's portfolio of products while remaining faithful to the MediaTek hardware. The first one replaces the secondary display on the back with an InfiRay thermal imaging camera and its sibling packs a 130-lumen LED light.

Motorola is edging ever nearer to releasing the Razr 40, one of two forthcoming clamshell foldables by the company. Both due on June 1, a recent Geekbench listing appears to confirm the Razr 40's reliance on an outdated Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset, as well as up to 12 GB of RAM.

Powered using the MediaTek Helio G99 alongside 8 GB LPDDR4X and 256 GB internal storage, the Doogee T30 Pro tablet features an 11-inch display with 2,560 X 1,600 pixels, quad speakers, and a 20 MP main camera. It will ship with Android 13 in three colors, namely Space Gray, Mint Green, and Ice Blue.

Xiaomi is projected to unleash an upgrade over its current 13 Pro flagship Android smartphone by the end of 2023. Then again, this "14 Pro" is now thought to launch with the same type of screen as its predecessor - albeit with tweaks that have already come in for praise from a noted leaker. Can Xiaomi finally get the display experience it is going for right in this generation?

iQOO is now thought to launch an updated version of its 11 Pro premium Android smartphone in mid-2023 - however, this one might have the 'overclocked' version of the top-end Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset heretofore exclusive to the Galaxy S23 Ultra. The "11S" is also backed to outdo that Samsung flagship in terms of display quality and charging speed.

The Pixel Fold is now officially the most expensive Android device that Google sells through its online Store in the US - and is even more pricey in its top-end 12GB RAM/512GB internal storage configuration. Nevertheless, the Mountain View giant is now out of those SKUs to pre-order in the US.

ASUS is asking for support from fans to optimise the camera system of the forthcoming Zenfone 10. The company will give away three Zenfone 10 handsets as a reward. Arguably, ASUS's T&Cs are of greater interest, because they hint at the Zenfone 10's US retail price and release window.

The Xiaomi 13 Ultra is one of the best Android smartphones in 2023 that is - at least currently - only available via import. Even though the Chinese version makes some compromises in the LTE bands, importing the Xiaomi smartphone might still be worth it.

With the CIVI 3, Xiaomi has created a new mid-range model that is available with more memory than many flagships. Not only is the CIVI 3 also the first smartphone to launch with the Dimensity 8200 Ultra, but it is also Xiaomi's first smartphone with a 4K selfie camera.

Samsung Display has revealed a new OLED display that includes integrated sensor technology embedded within the panel itself. The panel can authenticate via a fingerprint, but also measure heart rate, blood pressure and stress levels.

It has debuted on the crowdfunding platform today (May 25, 2023), and has accrued over eight times its original goal already. It is rated to "take your footage to the next level" with pre-programmed aerial shot modes for its up-to-2.7K video.

Ulefone has previewed the second smartphone to rock the brand's "loudest ever" rear-facing speaker - with "Infinite Halo" RGB lighting this time. The Armor 21 also upgrades to a 120Hz display, a night-vision rear camera and an IR blaster. It is currently hyped with an upcoming early-bird offer that might help it undercut its predecessor for a limited time.

Initial indications from a reliable leaker suggest that Xiaomi will pitch the Xiaomi 13 Ultra among this year's most expensive smartphones when it launches globally. Supposedly, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra will retail in Europe for nearly 90% more than in China, with a 75% uplift for the reputed sole 512 GB variant.

OPPO has announced updated models for its mid-range Reno series of Android smartphones graced with charging and rear camera upgrades across the board. These specs are headlined by the new, MariSilicon X-enhanced, high-res zoom lens found in the 10 Pro+ flagship variant. Then again, the OEM was so busy with these new optics that it forgot about updating most of its internal specs.

Mobvoi has made its latest premium smartwatch official today (May 24, 2023). The TicWatch 5 Pro is a brand first in that it has a Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1 chipset and a physical crown. It is rated for up to 80 hours of battery life thanks to an "ultra-low-power" dual-layer display set-up. The Pro 5 also supports 100 or more "professional" work-out modes within its Wear OS 3-based UI.

iQOO India's announcement that something with the "power to win" is on the way has given rise to hopes that one of the brand's latest Neo8-series smartphones is destined to launch in the country soon. However, it is also possible that the new hype campaign references another Android device with a last-gen flagship chipset instead.

Details about a new Redmi-branded tablet have surfaced online. Dubbed the Redmi Pad 2, the tablet is said to adopt the Snapdragon 680 chipset, among other features.

The Pixel 7a's almost obligatory teardown on the JerryRigEverything YouTube channel has ended in unexpected results.

Samsung’s Galaxy Watch6 Classic has surfaced in the first renders of the device. A key highlight is the return of the mechanical rotating bezel that was dropped for a touch-based version on the Galaxy Watch5 Pro.

Motorola's 2023 line of flagship Android smartphones has started to land in India, starting with the vanilla Edge 40. The new source of 144Hz display tech is also now touted as the world's slimmest IP68-rated smartphone on its new launch. It falls into the INR ~35,000 (~US$420) price-bracket - however, its pre-order deals bring that price down to the ~US$360 mark.

SUPER73 is celebrating the release of its S2 e-bike with the offer of US$400 off its normal price - so long as the buyer wants it in a specific colorway new to the variant. The "urban cruiser"-style two-wheeler comes with a 750W motor rated to go for up to 75 miles per charge, and has a "comfortable" long 2-UP seat.

iQOO has officially beaten other OEMs such as Xiaomi to the launch of the world's first Dimensity 9200 Plus (or 9200+) -powered smartphone. It has the potential to outclass the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 of the Neo8 - then again, this new vanilla model has the same appreciably bright, fast AMOLED display, 120W charging and updated dual rear camera window as its Pro sibling.

Xiaomi has confirmed that the CIVI 3 will contain a first for the company. Until now, Xiaomi has skimped on the front-facing cameras it has offered in its smartphones, even flagship models. Starting with the CIVI 3, Xiaomi will match the likes of Apple and Samsung by offering a 4K selfie camera.

The new iQOO Pad draws an unavoidable comparison between other Android slates such as the OnePlus Pad on its launch. However, it has debuted with the slightly newer and faster Dimensity 9000+ processor. The Pad has been unleashed alongside new TWS earbuds with ANC and a matching colorway.

The iQOO Neo8 Pro is slated to be the first Android smartphone to rock its new top-end MediaTek Dimensity chipset on its imminent debut. Its vanilla sibling, on the other hand, is now thought to be less blessed in the novelty of its processor. Then again, it has enjoyed a solid record as the latest and greatest silicon in last-gen flagship devices.

The affordable T10 has been confirmed as the first Nokia tablet to be added to the OEM's Android 13-compatible list. The upgrade should confer new UI customization options, privacy-focused features and Digital Wellbeing-type tweaks on the device.

Samsung is could be working on a mashup between a Chromebook and a Dex dock for its line of Galaxy smartphones. The details on the device are scant at this stage, although it suggests Samsung is keen to more deeply integrate its hardware in the vein of Apple.

OnePlus' introduction of the Ace 2V as a new performance-on-a-budget smartphone for the Chinese market sparked speculation that the same device would also launch as the Nord 3 in other markets. Now, according to the latest leak, that is the case, although the 2V's alleged global version will launch with a different - and potentially superior - main rear camera.

The OnePlus 11 and 11R are the newest flagships to be involved in the unveiling of OxygenOS 13.1, the latest Android 13-based software from their brand. It is rated to introduce features such as a Championship Mode for its Game Assistant and more Omojis, although some of them are only available on certain devices. On that note, smartphones from the 10, 9 and 8 series are also eligible for the update.

Xiaomi and MediaTek have teamed up to hype the upcoming CIVI 3 as the world's first device with the Dimensity 8200-Ultra processor.
