The iQOO Neo6 is an Android smartphone that offers powerful, performance-focused specs headed by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor for not much more than US$400 in China. Now, however, it is said to get a successor with MediaTek's latest, fastest chipset instead. The Dimensity 9000 Plus might get a flat high-refresh-rate display to drive in this apparently upcoming 7.

The OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G aims to win over buyers with its good price-performance ratio. For around US$300, you get a mid-range smartphone with a 120 Hz display, a 5000 mAh battery and a 64 MP triple camera.

Realme India's CEO, Madhav Sheth, has reportedly revealed that the brand's next smartphone with 5G could be its cheapest yet. It will target its budget price-tier in response to the impending roll-out of a next-gen mobile service network tipped to finally go nationwide in 2022. The device will be a part of a product launch cycle tipped to keep right on going throughout the rest of this year.

The Poco X4 Pro builds well on the X3 Pro and impresses with one of the best displays for under US$300. However, the smartphone from Xiaomi does not improve in all areas.

OnePlus is keeping its hype train for the 10T, a new flagship refresh set to launch soon, going with some potentially tantalizing new charging specs. The brand has revealed that it will introduce its flagship T line's first-gen SUPERVOOC Endurance Editions that charge at up to 150W. However, the new upgrade has come at the cost of one of OnePlus' most legacy smartphone features in this smartphone.

Are you holding off on getting your Android smartphone fixed for fear of the personal data on it going to the repair shop with it? Samsung has come up with a new way to allay such fears with its new Repair Mode, a new option for Galaxy-series smartphones that locks all potentially sensitive information behind an unlocking method.

OnePlus has yet to launch its new, Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1-powered Android smartphone, the 10T. However, the brand has already announced that the device will be the first from its line with 16GB of RAM. It is also touted as an entertainment powerhouse thanks to its "silky-smooth" 120Hz display.

Honor has unveiled plans for its IFA 2022 showcase with assertions that it will help consumers "embrace the connected future". Going by the OEM's new promos, this can be done with one of its new, appropriately networkable devices, which might include new mobile devices, PCs and the personal audio equipment to pair with them.

Qualcomm has signed an extension of its chip supply deal with Samsung that will go until 2030 and could be prolonged for another period. The agreement includes any future 6G modems Qualcomm may churn out, as well as Snapdragon processor supply for Galaxy devices that my spell the end of the Exynos fragmentation.

The Pixel 6a is Google's latest smartphone, and is thus only just now getting into the hands of YouTube reviewers. Two of these channels have found that their experience with the device has been marred by a strange and possibly severe bug. Their units' in-display fingerprint scanners allegedly unlock their screens in response to the detection of fingers that were never registered in their UIs.

Motorola now has less than a week from today (July 27, 2022) before the launch of its latest foldable smartphone. However, it seems the OEM could not wait until then to reveal that the upcoming Razr will indeed step up to a top-end Qualcomm processor. An executive insists that its battery capacity, while still falling below typical smartphone levels, will be enough to keep the new clamshell's main display on all day.

Twitter leaker Yogesh Brar has shed light on the entire Redmi K50s Pro spec sheet. It will feature a 6.67-inch 120 Hz OLED screen, a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC, 200 MP triple rear cameras and a 5,000 mAh battery with 120 W fast charging.

A new leak has shed light on the entire OnePlus 10T spec sheet and high-quality renders. Its key specifications include a 6.7-inch FHD+ 120 Hz LTPO2 AMOLED panel, a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC, 50 MP triple rear cameras and a 4,800 mAh battery that supports 150 W fast charging.

The RedMagic 7S Pro is now available to purchase globally. Some of its key specs include a 120 Hz AMOLED screen, 5,000 mAh battery with 65 W fast charging, triple rear cameras and a transparent chassis. Prices start at US$729/€779 for the 12 GB RAM/256 GB storage variant.

Sure, the Nothing Phone (1) performed well in our review and comes with some great features. But the device is not as not exciting as you might think. Here is a summary of our findings regarding this much hyped smartphone.

Florida congresswoman Kat Cammack (R-Fla.) is joining SpaceX's fight with the FCC over the 12 GHz spectrum that it insists would interfere with Starlink's satellite Internet service if DISH goes ahead and deploys its 5G network there. Rural constituents that rely on Starlink will be affected, argues the Congresswoman.

Motorola will debut its late-2022 Android flagship as the Moto X30 Pro in China (and, possibly, as the Edge 30 Ultra on a global scale thereafter) in August 2022. It is slated to launch alongside the new Razr foldable clamshell phone - which is said to be closer to it in terms of flagship specs than ever before in 2022. A new Geekbench leak might help confirm that rumor.

The 12S Ultra is one of Xiaomi's most distinctive Android flagships to date, not the least because of its new 1-inch main camera sensor. Now, JerryRigEverything host Zach Nelson has put the extra-premium device through the classic battery of YouTube durability tests. Could the new Ultra's design make it more likely to snap in half?

It seems the Motorola Edge 20 Fusion is due a successor. A device, sometimes referenced overtly as a next-gen member of its line, has now registered on the databases of the FCC and 3C regulators, among others. These leaks hint at a considerable charging upgrade in the upcoming 2022 Android smartphone.

iQOO will wait until August 2022 to launch its 9T - however, the brand already asserts that it is the fastest device in the AnTuTu rankings - for its price-bracket, that is. Then again, with the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 processor, up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB internal storage, it may well be capable of the "1.1 million" score with which it is now associated.

The OnePlus 10T is projected to launch as a flagship smartphone that will break the OEM's current top limit for RAM soon. The SKU in question might just have shown up on Geekbench in a leak that could confirm its new selling point. However, some potentially disappointing twists for this tale have already emerged.

The ZTE Nubia Z40S Pro is the latest Android smartphone to debut with the updated Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 flagship processor. It has also managed to undercut its rivals from Realme or iQOO in doing so, starting at the equivalent of just ~US$500 in China. Despite this, the device also offers a choice of charging speeds, an extensive rear camera hump and very thin bezels for its 144Hz screen.

The notorious leaker Evan Blass has posted an image that may or may not confirm the date on which Samsung will hold its next Unpacked 2022 event. The launch is thought to headline the OEM's latest premium foldable Galaxy Z Fold- and Flip-series Android devices. That has yet to be confirmed outright; however, Samsung has now set the date in question with some new and cryptic official teasers.

The iQOO 10 and 10 Pro have just launched with Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 SoCs augmented by the V1 Plus co-processor in both cases. However, the Pro variant goes even further in terms of unique features, as it has now officially won the race to 200-watt (W) "ultra-fast flash" charging. It also has the better display and rear cameras of the two.

The recently launched Nothing Phone (1) has several issues with its display. Some users are complaining about a green tint while others noticed a dead pixel near the selfie camera. Nothing is aware of the issue and should ideally issue a fix soon.

OPPO has made the Indian versions of its latest premium mid-range Android smartphones, the Reno8 and Reno8 Pro, official today (July 18, 2022). They have been introduced alongside the Air version of the OEM's first-gen tablet, as well as its new Enco X2 flagship TWS earbuds. They will be available imminently via channels such as Flipkart.

iQOO's latest Android flagship smartphones are slated to launch as the 10 and 10 Pro later in July 2022. Now, the brand is driving hype for at least 1 of these devices in terms of its best display attributes. They include the latest LTPO technology from Samsung, an industry-leading max brightness and HDR10+.

The 12S Ultra can be described as Xiaomi's new camera behemoth in more ways than one. The OEM has also sourced the highest-end display for its latest flagship, driven by the fastest processor Qualcomm can provide. Now, the cost of packing all of this and more into the same device at the factory has been revealed.

Since Honor continues to try to impress prospective customers, the high-end smartphone Magic4 Pro not only uses Google services again, but also comes with a premium set of features and achieves convincing results in our review.

iQOO's latest top-end mobile device is tipped to launch as the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1-powered 10 Pro in its native China. Now, it seems the brand will release a smartphone with very similar specs, albeit under a different name, to the Indian market. It is now officially being teased as the 9T via Amazon India.

China has become a market in which Apple's iPhones are prominent in terms of premium mobile devices. Therefore, new predictions of how well the rumored upcoming 14 series will do in the country might prove an indicator of how its sales will perform worldwide. The latest leak on the subject suggests that they will encounter demand that remains strong in 2022.

Realme has announced a date in July 2022 for its next multi-device Indian-market launch, strongly hinting at the arrival of the Pad X 5G as a headline moment. However, the OEM is also now teasing a completely new product to debut alongside it: its first ever monitor. It may emerge alongside some additional peripherals and a new wearable.

Samsung has registered a device highly likely to debut as the Galaxy Z Flip4 later in 2022. The latest clamshell has been confirmed as a 5G-capable foldable handset with Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth, NFC and wireless charging. It is rumored to launch in August 2022 alongside the Z Fold4.

Realme has just confirmed that its square-faced smartwatch series is indeed headed for a third generation. The Watch 3's teasers are now running alongside those for the Pad X on the OEM's official Indian channels, suggesting that the 5G-capable slate will take the stage next to the new wearable later in July 2022.

Nubia has announced that it intends to refresh its current flagship Android smartphone for late 2022. This Z40S Pro as teased will have a markedly different build compared to its immediate predecessor, upgrading to a flat-edged chassis that rocks a physical slider along one side. Nubia also strongly hints at increased camera prowess for the upcoming mobile device.

With its unusual color variants, the realme GT Neo 3T is a special phone. Read on to find out why it convinced us overall in the review process.

RedMagic has officially refreshed its 2022 flagship smartphones today (July 11, 2022). The newer 7S-series models combine all the top-end, high-octane features of their predecessors with the updated Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 processor. They also now include a new, second-gen Transformers-branded special edition.

The revenues emanating from the market for smartphone chipsets (including mobile basebands as well as APs and SoCs) grew by 23% year-on-year (YoY) in the first quarter of 2022 (1Q2022). TSMC was found to be responsible for producing nearly exactly 70% of this silicon, with Samsung coming in second with the remaining ~30%. Then again, the latter grabbed the greater share in terms of newer, more cutting-edge, chipsets, such as those of the 4 nanometer (nm) variety.

iQOO is set to wait until later in July 2022 to launch its latest top-end Android smartphones. However, this has not stopped the brand from teasing the upcoming 10 series with a full design reveal ahead of this event. The video and posters involved also casually drop some tantalizing specs along with a homage to the OEM's official BMW M Motorsport tie-in.

Infinix has launched the Note 12 5G and 12 Pro 5G, thereby making them the first devices of their line to have that type of mobile connectivity. The two new Android smartphones have most specs in common - a new-ish MediaTek Dimensity chipset and support for microSD cards of up to 2TB in size included - although the Pro is the only one with 8GB of RAM and a 108MP camera. They are to be released via Flipkart in India soon.

OnePlus is tipped to launch a refreshed flagship smartphone called the 10T soon. The device is also now backed to have the OEM's first 16GB RAM SKUs. This potential new top-end spec could join Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC in the purportedly upcoming handset.

Motorola has now started to hint at a 2022 addition to the foldable clamshell Razr series of smartphones in earnest. One of its latest teasers include a "creative" new lockscreen for the device's external display, while another has broached the possibility of gaming-focused features that would have been beyond its predecessor.
