The OEM plans to release it to the US market in partnership with Verizon.

TCL backs its new 50 series of Android smartphones to deliver the OEM's greatest depth of choice and features yet. It goes from the super-affordable LE variant to the more premium XL and XE 5G, both of which are slated to debut with and without the OEM's eye-comfort-enhancing NXTPAPER technology. Most of the line will be available in the US, whereas others are headed to the EMEA region.

The device thought to launch as the Galaxy M15 5G has now been cleared to do so in the US by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

Then again, other on-trend upgrades might be exclusive to the higher-end version.

Realme's announcement that it has "One More Plus" to unleash on the Malaysian market finally validates speculation that the device in question is not merely a successor to a mid-range Android smartphone called the 11 from 2023, but a Plus version of the same. It is backed to come with 12 unprecedented upgrades, one of which is a Sony main camera heretofore unseen in its market tier.

The Asus ROG Phone 8 Pro is a new Android smartphone that costs nearly as much as a top-end Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, even without a titanium-reinforced frame. The popular YouTube channel JerryRigEverything has taken it upon itself to find out how much durability that price buys you, especially as some of its predecessors have a poor record in this respect.

Vivo has now confirmed a launch date for the heretofore-rumored Y200e 5G in India, backing it to launch as the country's first smartphone with an Eco-Fiber Leather rear panel. Distinctive as this new feature might be, it will have to make up for the absence of another signature brand feature found in the higher-end device on which it is based.

The Phone (2a) is projected to be the first Android smartphone from the brand Nothing to move into the same space as devices such as those of the Redmi Note or OnePlus Nord lines.

The Samsung Galaxy A34 5G is a smartphone styled to match its top-end Galaxy S23 counterpart from the back; however, its less than premium nature is revealed through its waterdrop-notched display.

A 6.78-inch display with 165 Hz and LTPO, a high-end SoC Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, WiFi 7 and long battery life: The Asus ROG Phone 8 Pro is very much on the same level as the Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max in a number of ways. As our review shows, only the camera system falls short.

Vivo India has reportedly put up posters confirming the upcoming launch of the V30 and V30 Pro.

It also has another OEM signature: a large RGB LED flash.

Noted X leaker Tech_Reve says the Galaxy Z Fold6 could launch with the same 200 MP camera sensor found on the Galaxy S24 Ultra. This could be tricky as it will go against Samsung's goal of making its foldable thinner.

The Zenfone 11 Ultra has yet to launch, yet is already slated to ditch the distinctively compact form-factor of its predecessors at this event for one with the same Asus laptop camuflage and blocky camera hump of the ROG Phone 8 series. However, if a new Geekbench listing is to be believed, a consolation prize for fans of smaller phones is on the way.

OPPO's latest flagship camera smartphone series has only been on the market for about a month now.

The Pro version of the Vivo V30 is thought to launch soon as a common-or-garden mid-range Android smartphone soon.

It suggests that it will have a camera hump with not merely a fancy Aura Light flash, but the same Zeiss logo as Vivo's top-end X100 series.

Motorola is confident you'll find a smartphone deal to fall in love with during its latest sales event. They include $310 off an Edge+ 2022 and $150 off a Moto G Stylus 2023 as well as the ever-present $300 off the OEM's latest foldable flagship. Its vanilla sibling the Razr 2023 brings the OEM's offer of free Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II with each purchase back.

Vivo is thought to launch a Pro version of the V30 smartphone for the global market soon. Now, the same rumored device has allegedly surfaced on Geekbench with a mid-range Dimensity processor to go with a healthy amount of RAM. It might also debut with the most up-to-date version of Funtouch OS available.

Vivo is said to launch a Pro version of its X Fold-series smartphone in 2024. This rumor has gained momentum now that the OEM has added 2 new 5G devices to the official MIIT database in China. Do the handsets really pack ultra-premium flexible displays, though?

The Y200 is one of the cheapest 5G smartphones with Vivo's Aura Light rear-facing ring-flash on the market.

The Pova 5 Pro debuted with Tecno's 68W Ultra Fast Charging tech; however, the OEM is now thought to have rounded this up in the smartphone's impending successor. The 6 Pro 5G might also sport a RAM upgrade and an extra rear camera on its Mobile World Congress Barcelona (MWC) 2024 launch.

The Z60 Ultra is one of the best-priced Android smartphones with the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor on the market outside China right now. It comes in black or two-toned silver colorways, only one of which has been available in some markets such as the US to date. However, the other is now officially on the way, albeit in a way that might prompt prospective buyers to "act fast" in order to get one.

The Samsung Galaxy A55 may be closer to launch than ever, with a device bearing its rumored identifiers gaining approval for sale in the US from the Federal Communications Commission.
