As Xiaomi is gearing up to deliver MIUI 13.5 to a very long list of devices, including the Mi 10T Pro and non-Pro, these two handsets receive an unexpected software update that includes this month's security patch and has over 800 MB in size. Unsurprisingly, there are no new features to talk about.

With all early bird promotions gone, the Doogee S98 Pro is now available worldwide for the regular price of US$439.99. However, while this MIL-STD-810H-rated handset can be acquired with various discounts that depend on the retailer, the local taxes can push the price up for some customers as well.

There is an ever-growing range of specs OEMs can choose when making the all-important display for their next smartphone. However, according to the results of a new poll conducted in June 2022, LCD should be avoided for a win on the market at this point - as should a curved panel and a reduced refresh rate. FHD+ is also a safe option, although QHD+ still has its fans.

Carl Pei's new tech company Nothing has confirmed it will launch its inaugural Android smartphone in mid-2022.

However, the new marketing image features much more of its unusual models than it does of the actual device.

A Xiaomi MIUI 13.5 eligible device list has been put together, and it features over 120 phones and tablets from the Xiaomi, Mi, Redmi, and POCO brands.

Samsung's latest low- to mid-tier Android smartphones have all gone by the Galaxy Ax3 naming scheme thus far.

OnePlus is now tipped to launch the 10T as its late-year 2022 flagship refresh. Despite this, it is also now predicted to debut without one of its maker's signature features: the Alert Slider. This hardware-based profile switcher might be shared with future devices from another brand instead, however.

With the official debut of iOS 16 at WWDC, Apple also revealed the devices eligible for the OS upgrade, with the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus surprisingly missing out. That, of course, means Apple and Samsung now have parity of sorts in software update policies.

Samsung is now said to have a 2022 Galaxy XCover-series device in the works.

Sony touts its new XAV-AX6000 and XAV-AX4000 in-car AV receivers as the most seamless and intuitive installations of their series yet.

They also support USB type-C, as well as 3-pre out for nearly any speaker configurations.

The Galaxy A53 is actually a good mid-range phone, but Samsung has once again used one of its in-house SoCs, and this doesn't do the company any favors.

OnePlus launched its 2022 flagship smartphone as the 10 Pro in the US and Canada, albeit in the absence of its 12GB RAM top-end option.

Honor has already launched premium mobile devices in 2022; nevertheless, it is slated to supplant them with a new device with the refreshed top-end Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 processor instead. According to a Weibo leaker, it is tipped to be a real everything-burger of an Android smartphone.

The launch event for Nothing's inaugural Android device, the phone (1), now has a concrete date in 2022. Carl Pei's new OEM asserts that it will undo much of the monotony that it perceives as having taken over in the smartphone market as of late. However, should a new leak prove accurate, it will match flagships from another player in this space in one respect: its power brick.

Reportedly, Samsung has settled on a way to distinguish One UI 4 and its various iterations from One UI 5.0, while also making its existing smartphones feel faster. One UI 5.0 is expected to debut within the next few months at Samsung's annual developer conference, although a stable release will not be available until the autumn at the earliest.

New information has now surfaced strongly indicating that Xiaomi has shelved all plans for the release of a Poco F4 Pro. Supposedly, the Poco F4 Pro was to be a rebadged Redmi K50 Pro for the global market but will now never be released. The vanilla Poco F4, on the other hand, is nigh.

Xiaomi has reportedly registered a new device with the top-end 120 watt (W) charging from its current 12-series Android flagship - however, it is thought to be something other than the upcoming 12 Ultra. Meanwhile, the latest images purporting to spill that phone's looks ahead of its launch allegedly come from an official source this time.

It seems that Xiaomi is preparing to release the POCO X4 GT and the POCO X4 GT Pro, not just the POCO F4 5G. Rumoured to be global versions of the Redmi Note 11T Pro and Redmi Note 11T Pro Plus, Xiaomi could launch the pair in India as the Redmi K50i and Redmi K50i Pro.
