Samsung is now set to launch a new Galaxy F-series phone in India soon. This Flipkart exclusive is one of the very few of its line with a 120Hz display, which may make up for the water-drop notch in the same screen. The F23 is also slated to debut with a 5G processor and a 50MP main camera.

Apple often has a knack for striking the perfect balance between form and function. Other times the Cupertino giant completely misses the mark by prioritizing rampant minimalism and beauty over functionality. Let’s take a look at 4 notable times Apple clearly dropped the ball.

Realme has previewed 2 upcoming phones on its Indian website ahead of their launch. The 9 and 9 SE will both be 5G, thanks to a 6nm processor apiece. Furthermore, the 9 SE is already being hyped as debuting with the fastest display for its market tier, and probably with good reason.

iQOO has launched flagship 9-series smartphones outside of China for the first time; however, their new Indian versions are not exactly the same as those announced in their OEM's native country. Nevertheless, they still manage to offer top-end 120W charging, as well as a cutting-edge 2K LTPO AMOLED display in the Pro variant.

The Portégé X40L-K with Intel Evo specs is Dynabook’s slimmest and lightest 14-inch business notebook to date, weighing just over 1 kg (2.31 lbs), while the 13.3-inch models weigh less than 1 kg. Processor options include the Core i5-1250P vPro, Core i7-1270P vPro, and Core i7-1280P vPro for added security.

Samsung's latest flagship phablet, the Galaxy S22 Ultra, has proven itself inconsistent, to say the least, on durability-related YouTube to date. Now, it has made its way through the classic JerryRigEverything series of tests. Can the Note replacement's cutting-edge Gorilla Glass Victus+ sandwich acquit itself in this new video?

The Lenovo Flex 5 is a good all-around budget laptop. Thanks to its AMD Ryzen 5 5500U and RX Vega 7 GPU, it can handle most everyday tasks and some light gaming. It's currently on sale at Amazon for US$600, which is $250 below its MSRP of $850.

TCL has announced three new tablets at MWC 2022, all of which have ~10-inch displays. One is a 5G variant, whereas another is the latest in the OEM's NXTPAPER range. However, it may have detracted from these new devices by mentioning an additional slate that is yet to launch and might be a flagship among TCL big-screen mobile devices.

TCL's existing 30-series smartphones are new devices pitched at the US market. Now, it has announced new variants for the European market at the latest Mobile World Congress (MWC). They include the 30 5G, accompanied by Plus, SE, and E variants, starting from under US$160.

Lenovo has now made its first-gen Legion Y-series Android smartphone official. It brings a relatively novel form-factor to its market, having rear-firing fans that blast through its rear panel and surround its RGB logo.

Honor's MWC 2022 showcase and, thus, the launch of the Magic4 smartphone series, is now nearly upon us. Despite this, the OEM has decided to reveal a potentially significant detail in advance: a side-on new-flagship view that reveals a pronounced curve toward an extremely skinny frame on the part of both the display and rear panel.

The Xiaomi sub-brand POCO has announced a launch date for its M4 Pro. There is a phone by this name already on the market; however, this version is a 4G/LTE-only phone. POCO has already gone ahead and spoiled this M-series variant's looks ahead of this event, which it might as well have done as it is a re-brand of another phone from its parent company.

Asus has had to rebrand the ZenFone 8 to the 8z for the Indian market. This compact flagship smartphone's debut has not been heard of since its initial teaser in July 2021; however, the OEM has now finally scheduled its launch. It will be available through Flipkart, hopefully not long after that.

A famous Weibo-based leaker reports that Vivo has certified its upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 1-powered 2022 flagship. This device has been said to launch as the NEX 5 - however, according to the prolific leaker, the OEM has decided on a new premium smartphone name instead. It is also now tipped to support 2 fast charging rates and to have a class-leading AMOLED display that might be larger than most.

Realme has registered new devices with the regulator TENAA, which has led to speculation that both are variants of the GT Neo3, as they only differ in terms of battery size.

Motorola is now said to launch a smartphone that might combine a 90Hz display, a microSD card slot and Android 12 out of the box for just over US$200 soon.

Xiaomi's Black Shark 4 Pro has finally joined its vanilla 4 sibling on its brand's international webstore today (February 23, 2022). It offers the slightly outdated, yet still quite powerful, Snapdragon 888 flagship-grade processor, complete with a "sandwich" liquid cooling system to help preserve its gaming performance. Then again, it also offers a 144Hz AMOLED display refresh rate and 120W charging for under $600.

Samsung collects affordable and well-equipped tablets in its Galaxy Tab A series. With the Galaxy Tab A8, this is now expanded by the newest model.

The 12 Pro is Xiaomi's 2022 flagship smartphone and not only comes with the latest Snapdragon SoC, but also a highly modern display, long battery life and a triple camera worthy of the name. But is an import model worth it?

AV1 is an emerging video codec increasingly adopted by companies in the content-streaming and entertainment space. They range from Samsung to Broadcom - but not Qualcomm, an OEM that has failed to support this form of decoding even in its top-end Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC. Now, the company is touted to fix this - in the processor's successor.

The ExpertBook offers a 5G modem, two Thunderbolt 4 ports, and a 14-inch touchscreen display (1920x1200 pixels) with a 16:10 aspect ratio. You can operate the screen through touch input as well as with the included Asus Pen.

Samsung has debuted Gorilla Glass Victus Plus in its flagship Galaxy S22 line, asserting that this latest form of Corning protection for smartphones offers extra durability over its predecessor.

Nubia's high-octane Android phone brand RedMagic has just unleashed its latest 7 and 7 Pro flagships on the world.

The Realme 9i has launched as the base model of its series in India (to date, at least). It has a new, 6nm 4G/LTE processor and faster charging compared to its predecessor. Then again, some consumers might find it a downgrade compared to the 8i, particularly in terms of its display.

Realme has officially augmented its 9 series of smartphones with a new kind of top-end variant, the 9 Pro Plus. Despite this name, the 9 Pro has the larger display and battery, not to mention the higher refresh rate, of the two. However, its new sibling may make up for that with the only AMOLED panel of the pair - not to mention a newer and potentially improved main camera.

The RedMagic 7 smartphones have now been confirmed as the first of their flagship series to come with a dedicated co-processor. This "Red Core 1" has been developed to boost a number of gaming-focused specs and features on the devices, their haptic feedback, audio and touch-sampling rate included.

Nokia has made the rumored successor to the budget G20 official, and has ushered a new G11 in alongside it. The new smartphones are equipped with large batteries for markedly long run-times - which may be handy as the 2 new phones offer a series-first 90Hz refresh rate. The two new phones have been released in Germany, Austria and Switzerland today (February 14, 2022).

Samsung has launched the Galaxy S22 series with claims of enhanced robustness thanks to their updated premium design. Now, a YouTuber has tested these claims out on its flagship, the S22 Ultra.

The freshly-launched Galaxy Tab S8 series has proven so popular that two-thirds of its variants have "sold out" on Samsung.com in the US.

Yes, the Galaxy S21 FE 5G is late compared to its predecessors. But this isn't really a bad thing, and it still makes it a strong alternative, especially in Germany, even compared to the Galaxy S22.

Nubia's high-octane gaming brand RedMagic has made its launch for its 2022 generation of top-end smartphones official. It has also now teased what will probably be the top-end variant of this upcoming 7 line. It is slated to combine a "Transparent" finish with an under-display camera. Then again, there may be less encouraging news for fans of gaming-phone specs.

Realme has announced that it will introduce a new C-series smartphone to its audience in Thailand soon. It has already been teased as a device with looks quite like those of its current flagships, and even has a main camera of a resolution that might be found in one, not to mention a markedly large battery. However, based on the SoC for which the C35 is destined, it is not likely to cost all that much.
