OnePlus has launched the 10R in India, making it the country's first phone with this brand's new top-end 150W charging tech, albeit in just one "Endurance Edition" variant. It is thus the most expensive 10R variant out there now, although it also comes in an alternative 80W form that starts at around US$500.

The 2-in-1 laptop offers an IPS touchscreen display, silent operation, good battery life, and a USB-C port with Power Delivery. The overall package doesn't make too much of a dent in your wallet.

Xiaomi has rounded its major Indian product launch of today (April 27, 2022) with the Pad 5. The OEM touts its new Android tablet as a way to do many aspects of life, content consumption, note-taking and gaming included. The 2.5K+ display slate will be released to its new region in May 2022.

Xiaomi has just introduced the top-end 12 Pro smartphone to the Indian market; then again, many consumers there are probably already aware that it is the OEM's early Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 adopter with a 2.5K+ 120Hz AMOLED display and up to 12GB of RAM. It will be available to buy in its new region very soon.

The Nokia G21 has the first 90Hz screen of its line, and is also now official on the Indian market. The HMD Global brand touts it as a smartphone with a battery that can last days at a time, as well as one in which official Android update support outdoes that of its competitors.

Google has now officially confirmed that Android 13 has moved along the path to a full release to the point at which its first public beta is now available. Those who own eligible Pixel-series devices can install it to enhance the level of control they have over how apps use media files, if not much else at this point.

ZTE has already strongly indicated that its impending Axon 40 will be its third-gen under-display camera (UDC) smartphone. Now, an image that allegedly offers a better close-up of the front panel in question might confirm this state of affairs, and also hints at upgrades over the device's predecessor.

The Vivo X80 series of Android smartphones is now official, which means their V1 Plus (or V1+) image signal processor (ISP) is as well. This chipset is exclusive to the new devices, and is rated to augment some aspects of their battery-saving and gaming functions as well as those of their new Zeiss-tuned rear cameras.

Vivo has announced the S15e as a perhaps more affordable alternative to the new X80 mobile-photography flagship smartphones today (April 25, 2022). It has a modern design, although it lags behind a bit in terms of display refresh rate and Android version out of the box. This panel is driven by a lesser-spotted Exynos processor from Samsung.

We tested the Asus ZenBook 14X OLED in everyday use, played games and typed the entire review on it. The verdict: the OLED display also has its downsides and Asus overdoes it in terms of user engagement.

OPPO has launched the K10 series today (April 24, 2022). The 2 smartphones involved have introduced an unusual list of world-firsts, including the debut of the Dimensity 8000-MAX processor in the vanilla model. The new Android 12 devices start for less than US$310.

Huawei has already made a surprising and abrupt return to a first-gen design in its technically fifth-gen foldable phablet, the upcoming Mate Xs 2. Now, a display-industry leaker purports to spill its pricing ahead of its launch, which frankly seems counter-intuitive given the specs also just allegedly spilled with respect to the new phablet.

There are already smartphones with Samsung's Exynos 1280 processor on the market - however, the OEM never outlined its specifications in any detail. Now, however, it has confirmed various aspects of the chipset, such as its architecture, its individual ARM cores and the speeds at which they are set.

Huawei has been thought to launch its next premium foldable smartphone as the Mate X3; however, one of the OEM's top executives has just officially revealed that the Mate Xs 2 instead. In even more unexpected news, this imminent 2022 model even reprises the older, external-screen design of its OG predecessor.

The vanilla iPhone 14 is slated to be among the smallest and most basic of its upcoming flagship line-up. Nevertheless, it is also thought to do so with an OLED display; however, according to a new report, this panel will be sourced from the Chinese firm BOE rather than LG or Samsung.

The new ZenBook S 13 OLED is powered by AMD's Ryzen 7 6800U APU with Radeon 680M integrated graphics and features 16 GB of LPDDR5-6400 RAM with 1 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD storage, while the Intel-based Pro 15 Flip OLED convertible integrates a Core i7-12700H processor coupled with 16 GB LPDDR5-4800 and 1 TB of PCIe 3.0 SSD storage, plus an ARC A370M dGPU.

Realme has validated a number of leaks today (April 20, 2022) with the launch of the Q5 Android smartphone series. Of these, the Pro has indeed debuted with a distinctive checkered pattern on its rear panel, not to mention a Snapdragon 870 SoC, a 120Hz display and flagship-grade 80W charging. It is joined by the Snapdragon 695-powered, 50MP-main camera-toting Q5.

With the MateBook 14, Huawei offers an affordable midrange ultrabook with a design similar to the MacBook. It is well equipped with a 3:2 touchscreen and Core i7-1165G7, but is this sufficient to compete with AMD's Ryzen 5 5500U or Apple's MacBook Air with the M1 SoC?

Xiaomi has announced that it is bringing "the next big thing" to India soon. It will come in the form of the Pad 5, one of its latest flagship Android tablets. Its new launch date suggests it will debut alongside its corresponding top-end smartphone at the end of April 2022.

The Honor 70-series of smartphones is now slated to launch with potentially significant performance gains over its 60-series predecessors. This is because it is now rumored to offer a range of new processors, which may even top out at MediaTek's compelling new flagship the Dimensity 9000. These SoCs might drive 120Hz displays and large-ish batteries with fast charging in the upcoming Honor mid-rangers.

OPPO has now confirmed a launch for the K10 5G series in China, the vanilla model of which will become the world's first smartphone with the "MAX" version of the Dimensity 8000 processor, whereas its Pro counterpart will emerge with a high-end Snapdragon SoC. The new devices are also now slated to have 120Hz displays, fast charging and even a Razer tie-in.

Recent leaks pointing to the imminent launch of the ZTE Axon 40 series of smartphone have led to rumors that the OEM would launch its latest under-display camera device in 2022. Now, it seems this prospect is a reality, as the phone in question seems to have been made the official mobile device of China's latest space-travel achievement.

The Moto G52 is an affordable 4G-only Android smartphone recently launched in Europe. It is now said to bring its combination of potential bargain specs with it to India market before April 2022 is out. However, it may not arrive with the exact same display, which is one of its best features, in its new market.

The Google Pixel 6 Pro is another high-end smartphone that is not only cheaper than many of its competitors but one that also comes with the promise of a long update cycle. And while it does have some minor shortcomings most of them are irrelevant for everyday use.

Vivo is tipped to launch an X80 Pro as a flagship alternative to its new, premium X Note phablet. Now, the allegedly imminent new phone has reportedly been captured in a photo that seems to prove that it can take clear and bright shots of things in near-total darkness. Meanwhile, the rear cameras reportedly responsible for this achievement may have been snapped in the wild.

iQOO now brings the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor to the Android smartphone market in the form of the Neo6. It also benefits from a 120Hz AMOLED display and top-end 80W Flash Charge SuperVOOC charging - all for as little as 2,799 yuan (~US$440) in its native China.

RedMagic has launched the 7 Pro in several regions worldwide today (April 12, 2022). The gaming phone's new global edition boasts most of the latest performance boosts the brand has to offer, an under-display camera (UDC) for its AMOLED display included. On the other hand, it is missing some features from its top-end SKUs, which match even the iPhone 13 series in certain ways.

Vivo has just debuted its Snapdragon 8 Gen 1-based flagship smartphone for 2022; now, according to a new leak, a MediaTek Dimensity 9000-powered alternative is on the way. This X80 Pro's design has allegedly leaked in full for the first time, alongside its launch date and a confirmation of integrated Zeiss technology for its rear cameras.

Vivo has introduced its inaugural Pad today (April 11, 2022). This device might be the brand's first ever Android tablet, although it would be hard to tell given how it stacks up compared to others in its market. The new slate's dual rear cameras, high-res 120Hz screen and particularly fast charging tech may confer the potential needed to stand out among its ever-growing list of contemporaries.

Predominantly, the Oppo Find X5 Pro draws on premium hardware and a great camera setup. Many test results are outstanding, but there are some shortcomings. Ultimately, price will play an important role in a decision to purchase this phone.

The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra is a top-end tablet that has launched with a 14.6-inch display and a height of under 6 millimeters (mm, or ~0.24 inches (in)). As such, one might expect that it would crumble in the face of JerryRigEverything's battery of durability tests, as with some of its iPad rivals. However, all is not as expected during this episode of the classic YouTube video series.

Calling Oppo's Find X5 an insider tip would be a bit presumptuous in view of its 1000 euro (US$ 1230) price. On the other hand, buyers get a high-end smartphone that, with a strong camera and a fast Snapdragon 888, only differs in a few details from the Find X5 Pro, which costs another 300 Euros (US$ 325).

RedMagic has confirmed that the top-end variant of its 7 flagship smartphone series is coming to international markets in April 2022. Furthermore, it is bringing its first-gen under-display camera (UDC) tech with it. This, according to the OEM, makes the 7 Pro a "next-level gaming beast".

The GTS 2 Mini is a better-priced example of Amazfit's popular line of health- and fitness-tracking smartwatches. Now, the brand has announced a re-release for this product, with new colors and slightly modified specs this time around. It will go live via its Indian-market sales channels later in India.

OPPO is expected to add an 8 series to its Reno line of Android smartphones soon. Now, at least one of these devices has become linked to a rear-panel design heretofore only associated with the latest flagship from OnePlus, the 10 Pro. Accordingly, the OPPO mid-ranger is now tipped to debut with a stove-top-style camera hump that blends into its frame in one corner.

Samsung's 2018 flagship smartphones, the Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus, have remained eligible for Android security patch upgrades, even if only 4 times a year. Now, however, that has come to an end, leaving the devices completely cut off from software updates - official ones, that is.

Honor is now touted to have a premium tablet to launch later in 2022. This new leak has spawned additional rumors that the device will do so with a processor optimized for the form factor in question. This "Kompanio 9000" may or may not be the tablet version of MediaTek's current top-end mobile processor.

Xiaomi's sub-brand POCO has certified a new device with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), thereby re-igniting rumors of a new C-series Android phone in the works. Accordingly, the new leak might offer an insight into what the brand will sell for ~US$110 in 2022.

Samsung is now slated to release the Galaxy A73, one of its latest mid-range Android smartphones, to its Indian webstore later in April 2022. In fact, it is already there, albeit without pricing for the 2 SKUs of the phone to become available to the market. However, those details have allegedly leaked out before the OEM has had the chance to update its page with this information.

The display specialist TCL CSOT has reportedly demonstrated a display for potential next-gen mobile devices that can support refresh rates from 1 to 144 hertz (Hz). This would improve on even the best smartphone displays of 2022, which can only get up to 120Hz in the same respect. Like these panels, TCL's prototype also has LTPO technology.

ZTE may have just endorsed rumors of an imminent Axon 40-series launch event, through the medium of a slightly cryptic new teaser hinting at something happening in April 2022. It might involve a debut for a phone that continues the OEM's reputation as an under-display camera (UDC) technology pioneer.

The small 6.28-inch Xiaomi 12 is part of the new flagship series from Xiaomi and offers correspondingly powerful equipment. With the high-end Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, it is just as fast as the Xiaomi 12 Pro. Except for the different form factor and camera setup, it shares a lot of equipment characteristics with the top model.
