The Xiaomi 12T Pro offers high-end features in many areas, but it is not a flagship smartphone. Nevertheless, the cameras are a strong selling point, especially the main camera, and so the smartphone attempts to give the camera elite a run for their money. We compare how the 200 MP sensor compares to the "old" 108 MP camera...

OPPO's vice president and president of global business has reportedly laid out a rough timeline for its next-gen Android product range for the coming year.

One or both may have cameras enhanced by second-gen MariSilicon ISPs.

The Xiaomi 13 and 13 Pro are expected to emerge soon as a new premium Android devices with the latest Qualcomm silicon. Now, the former may have leaked in a new case apparently capable of conferring an edge-to-edge effect on its upgraded flat display. The freshly leaked image also hints at iPhone-esque edges to its potentially compact form-factor.

The iPad 2022 presents itself looking like the iPad Air and also gets closer to it in terms of its price. However, the technical progress remains within limits, and the new USB port also creates some problems for the user.

The Galaxy A14 5G may look interesting in its alleged renders, yet may seem like a let-down when it reportedly leaked onto Geekbench with an Exynos processor. However, the same device has now apparently re-surfaced on the same benchmark, but with a different SoC, one from MediaTek this time. This variant may or may not be intended for sale in the United States.

The Xiaomi 13 Pro is now tipped to launch with a periscope zoom lens for one of its cameras, even though its predecessor missed out on the technology. However, OPPO is also now rumored to have restored the same to its Find X6 Pro. Of the 2 supposedly upcoming top-end Android smartphones, the latter is said to be superior in these terms.

iQOO has decided to turn the launch of its next top-end Android smartphones into a bumper product event, as it will also debut the Neo7 SE on the date chosen. The latter is the brand's inaugural Dimensity 8200-powered device, whereas it seems there will be an 11 and 11 Pro in which the cutting-edge specs only get started with new top-end Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 silicon.

Motorola US' online Black Friday 2022 deals include the opportunity to get Android devices such as the latest version of the Moto G Stylus at a 40% discount.

The OPPO Reno9 Pro Plus (or Pro+) has launched with aims to become the most premium Android smartphone of its line thus far.

Honor has made the 80 SE, 80 and 80 Pro mid-range Android smartphones official today (November 23, 2022).

The Snapdragon 782G is the latest mobile processor to be announced from Qualcomm, although sharp-eyed tech fans will be strongly reminded of some pre-existing platforms on reading its main specs.
