Xiaomi claims to usher in a whole new future of mobile photography in India, with reservations for its new flagship smartphones the 14 and 14 Ultra just about to begin. The top-end Ultra variant packs the newest 1-inch rear camera technology in its quad-lensed hump, although both devices come with Leica branding. They are set to start at under ~$750, although that is cheap compared to some other regions.

The Samsung Galaxy A55 is only a few days away but that hasn’t stopped one Russian reviewer from posting a full review of the device on the Chinese platform Bilibili. According to this preliminary analysis, the Galaxy A55 handily outperforms the Galaxy A54 thanks to its Exynos 1480 SoC which also brings a new Xclipse 530 GPU from AMD.

The Nord 3 (OnePlus' 'main' mid-range Android phone for the international market) is now thought to get a successor that might do well due to the fact it might have the same extra-large battery and flagship-grade fast charging of the new 12R. Then again, its wildly updated look might turn out to be a polarizing issue in 2024.

Even though the Xiaomi Poco X6 Pro and its Poco X6 sibling model share the 6.67-inch form factor and are both midrange smartphones, the addition of the "Pro" in the name makes the Poco X6 Pro the more powerful smartphone that also brings more extensive equipment.

The Vivo X Fold3 line is thought to launch with a series-first (relatively) affordable option as well as a flagship on the bleeding edge of foldable smartphone technology thought to include high-end Samsung OLED, more RAM and a bigger battery. Now, its approximate launch date has allegedly been revealed in a new social media leak.

A South Korean media outlet reports that yields for Samsung's 3 nm process is less than 60%. Samsung confirmed earlier that next year's Exynos 2500 SoC will be manufactured on it. Unspecified products from other companies like Nvidia and Qualcomm are also slated to use it.

The Vivo X Fold3 Pro is touted to launch as a device with improved displays compared to those of its already impressive predecessor in 2024. Now, this prediction may be corroborated with more specific values, while its battery may be rated for up to 1,000mAh more in capacity compared to the X Fold2. In addition, the 3 Pro is now tipped to launch as Vivo's first ever 1TB foldable smartphone.

The Galaxy Z Flip6 and Fold6 are projected to become Samsung's most advanced, most premium clamshell and non-clamshell foldable Android smartphones in mid-2024. Now, it seems both devices are right on track with that timeline, having registered their batteries (all 4 of them) with regulators.

Infinix has become linked to a new Android smartphone, one with a potentially second-gen gamer esthetic and a different MediaTek Dimensity processor. The alleged new GT-series device might also launch with a new version of XOS based on Android and have a decent mid-range amount of RAM.

The Zenfone 11 Ultra is due to be unleashed in mid-March 2024. However, more of its specs have seemingly fallen into place via leaks beforehand. This latest tip allegedly confirms a charging option besides USB-C, and also purports to reveal its appearance in advance.

Meizu's last major announcement involved its intention to ditch "conventional" smartphones in favor of AI - however, its next serves to introduce a Pro version of its current Android flagship.

Realme has just chased its 12+ launch event with an announcement that its vanilla counterpart will join it on the Android smartphone market soon.

Realme's launch event for the 12 Plus (or 12+) as a new mid-range Android smartphone of today (February 29, 2024) might have suggested that the addition of a vanilla 12 might be redundant at this point. However, it seems that might not be the case, as that device's model number has appeared on Geekbench, with a different SoC to its new Plus counterpart.

The Realme 12 Plus (or 12+) is touted to elevate its segment of the Android smartphone market with the same SoC as its series' flagships to drive a flat 120Hz display that, moreover, has a feature suspiciously like that of OnePlus' latest top-end device. The 12+ also debuts with a new member of the Sony LYTIA family of 50MP main cameras.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
