A famous leaker now asserts that Samsung intends to take the vanilla model of its next generation of flagship smartphones coming and make it a "compact" variant of the line-up.

OPPO launched a first-gen premium smartwatch in 2020, then followed it up shortly afterward with a version certified to generate on-wrist electrocardiograms.

Xiaomi failed to launch a successor to the Mi Note 10 in 2020 but we could finally get one later this year. The company is geared to release the CC11 series in China, and details of the CC11 Pro—a phone that could well make its way to the global market as the Note 11—have now surfaced.

The most recent leak concerning Samsung's next early-year flagship smartphone have painted a sobering picture for its camera upgrades relative to the existing S21 Ultra.
