Realme has registered a new Android smartphone with the Chinese regulator TENAA, suggesting that it will launch soon. According to the latest rumors, it will do so as the GT2 Explorer Master Edition, a device with the new top-end Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 SoC. It may also do so with dual 50MP cameras and new, faster charging tech.

Amazfit has made a new smartwatch announcement - however, it is not for anything from the rumored upcoming flagship 4 series, but for a new version of the GTR 3 Pro. Most of the new Limited Edition's specs (the OEM's latest SpO2 sensor included) are found in the original wearable, although it has a screen that is completely flat, while that of the 3 Pro is curved.

The Zepp E is a rare smartwatch in that it comes with a choice of form-factors, in that it can be bought with either a square or a circular face. In both cases, their displays will be made of AMOLED, and will have SpO2-sensing and sleep-tracking abilities behind them. They are also now available on Amazon India, in several band and color options.

Following months of leaks and rumors, the existence of the Galaxy Watch5 series might have been confirmed outright thanks to new FCC certifications. Their SKUs, model numbers and some specs are included in this new leak. Their charger also pops up again here, with a potentially interesting detail that may contradict a previous tip.

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.

Samsung is now said to have a 2022 Galaxy XCover-series device in the works. The putative smartphone is referred to as a new Pro of its rugged line, probably as it is linked to arguably upgraded specs for its market.

The Tecno Pova 3 is one of the world's few 7,000mAh battery smartphones. It also has a 90Hz display, triple rear cameras and a "Panther Game Engine" powered by one of MediaTek's higher-end 4G/LTE-only Helio G-series platforms. It is also now about to launch as an Amazon India Special.

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.

Meta had been rumored to launch a (possibly Facebook-brand) first-gen wearable that looked somewhat like an Apple Watch, albeit with at least 1 camera.

At its annual Worldwide Developer Conference, Apple saved the best for last with the introduction of iPadOS 16. The next version of Apple’s tablet-tailored operating system delivers rich enhancements to multitasking, expanded tools for professionals, and genuinely useful external display support. The catch? Most features are M1-exclusive.

Infinix has announced that it has partnered with MediaTek to launch the world's first Helio G99-powered smartphone. The new processor is 4G/LTE-only - although this means it can bring specs such as a 120Hz display refresh rate, a 108MP main camera and Bluetooth 5.2 to budget Android devices.

The latest leak on the subject of Nothing's first-gen Android smartphone was that it would not debut until late July 2022.

In other news, the OEM has outlined how a phone (1) can be bought in markets such as India and Europe whenever it does launch.

Most of the new upcoming iPad Pro-centric features also apply to iPhones and Macs.

OPPO has announced the Reno8 Lite as its latest Android smartphone available to the Spanish market. It has a 6.43-inch AMOLED display (albeit one with a standard 60Hz refresh rate) and 5G (thanks to an entry-level Qualcomm processor). One might thus wonder why the OEM did not debut this budget model of its new mid-range series in other markets, but there is a good reason for that.

Amazfit is currently previewing a New Version of the GTS 2 smartwatch on Amazon India. However, it should be noted that this unexpected reboot has an update in terms of price and not much else. Then again, this means it has the original former flagship wearable's best attributes, an Apple Watch-like design and SpO2 measurements included.

iQOO has announced the launch of a smartphone called the Neo6 5G for the Indian market. However, it is not the same as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1-powered device that debuted in China earlier in 2022. Then again, this Neo still offers high-end 80W charging, a nearly-premium Qualcomm chipset and a 6.62-inch E4 AMOLED display.

It might come as a surprise to many tech fans that Letv is back in the mobile devices market; however, the design of its comeback model, the Y1 Pro, will probably be less of one. The new smartphone has dual rear cameras in an oddly familiar layout, as well as a notch that seems mostly cosmetic, and a platform from Unisoc rather than Apple.

Honor has launched the 70 (or 70 5G) alongside its Pro and Pro Plus siblings. All three Android smartphones have been unveiled with the same updated design and new Sony IMX800 main rear camera. However, slight compromises have been made with this freshly-debuted vanilla mid-ranger.

Samsung is now believed to have a new member of its rugged XCover smartphone series in the works. Confusingly, some of them paint it as a second-gen Pro, whereas others construe it as an upgrade for the 5. Either way, it is expected to arrive with specs such as an FHD display and Bluetooth 5.2.

Its ability to retain feline detail to the tune of about 200 megapixels (MP) is hyped in this new campaign.

The Honor 70 series are shaping up to become premium mid-rangers to be taken seriously within the Android space on their debut.

OPPO's latest mid-range Android smartphone event is the culmination of a considerable sequence of leaks and rumors concerning their design, internals and special features. Its top-end variant is the 8 Pro Plus (or Pro+) rather than the Pro, yet does indeed rock an in-house MariSilicon X image signal processor (ISP) on top of its new MediaTek SoC. Nevertheless, the OEM has managed to throw some curve-balls in the course of this launch.

Rumors of Sony's next-gen alpha 7r- (or α7r-) series camera have just gathered speed thanks to a new alleged leak from the blog PhotoRumors.
