Our review of the OnePlus 10 Pro confirms that the flagship smartphone offers a solid package overall. However, in view of its many small setbacks as a successor to the OnePlus 9 Pro, the question arises as to what status the OnePlus smartphones still have within the BBK Group.

LG has begun to push a new major software upgrade to the V60 ThinQ in the US. Then again, the update to Android 12 has reportedly only hit those units associated with the carrier T-Mobile. This is probably one of the last times the device will receive an OTA from its OEM.

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.

The GT Neo3 is Realme's first-ever smartphone rated to charge at up to 150W. Now, the OEM has announced it is bringing that top-end spec with it when it lands in India later in April 2022. It will launch alongside the Mini version of Realme's first-gen Android tablet, as well as a new TV and more.

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.

Vivo has announced that its X80 series of Android smartphones will deliver a new "breakthrough" in mobile photography. It will be the world's first phone with the Sony IMX866 camera sensor. The brand has yet to divulge any specs on this new kind of camera, although it is tipped to come with multiple upgrades compared to its predecessor.

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.

The OnePlus Ace is currently thought to launch as the Chinese-market version of the upcoming 10R flagship smartphone variant. The brand is currently hyping it as a device that will also debut a new kind of "supercrystalline" material for thermal management. It is tipped to help the Ace's new Dimensity-series SoC maintain performance while gaming.

The respected securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has just posted a new prediction as to how the "iPhone 14 series" might improve in terms of selfie cameras compared to the existing 13 series. This new rumor does not so much discuss a notch or lack thereof this time, however, and concerns the actual shooters to be found in the putative iPhones' front panels.

Sony is rumored to debut a top-end image sensor that may bring smartphone cameras closer to a round 1 inches in size than ever before. Now, according to a prolific leaker, this CMOS has a product name. The potentially unprecedentedly large component is slated to launch at some point in 2022.

The Dimensity 8000-MAX is a new version of the previously-released 8000 processor slated to debut in a new OPPO smartphone soon.

They include its max clock-speed, energy efficiency potential compared to its 8100 sibling, and ability to beat a competing Qualcomm chipset in certain areas.

The Vivo Xn0 series is a line of smartphones that aims to appeal to photography enthusiasts with its unusual features and camera specs.

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.

Vivo has confirmed that it will launch the X80 series of Android smartphones soon. Now, it is also slated to introduce a second-gen image signal processor (ISP) that may be exclusive to the devices. This "V1+" chipset is said to be an in-house chipset that will help control the new camera hardware found in the X80 series.

The Vivo X80 series has leaked in allegedly fine detail by now, particularly in terms of to how the premium mid-range smartphones and their supposedly pro-grade cameras are destined to look and act. This may be why the OEM has now decided to announce the date on when these Zeiss-branded devices are set to launch.

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.

Vivo is said to launch the high-end X80 series of Android smartphones soon. A new leak has sparked rumors that the line will launch outside China; even more interestingly, its alleged model number has now also appeared on Geekbench with the top-end Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, while the X80s have been linked to the Dimensity 9000 thus far.

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 has just announced the X Note flagship Android smartphone for 2022. Now, the brand has also literally promised the moon with a new special edition of the device.

Vivo will hold a flash sale every day for the next week in order to sell these limited units in China.

The Q5 Pro is thought to be Realme's next phone with top-end 80W charging. It is also now said to have one of Qualcomm's higher-end SoCs and Android 12 on its launch. It may do so alongside a Q5i variant, although a vanilla Q5 is, oddly, nowhere to be found on the leak-train.

A smartphone with top performance for less than 520 Euros (~$566)? The Apple iPhone SE 2022 makes this possible. However, you also have to accept some compromises for this.

Vivo is tipped to launch an X80 Pro as a flagship alternative to its new, premium X Note phablet.

Motorola has been spotted updating its Moto G200 5G to a newer version of Android. The update has only rolled out to units of this competitive mid-ranger in Europe thus far, although it is said to expand to additional markets soon.

Realme has announced that it has a new limited-edition, Free Fire-themed version of the 9 Pro Plus in the works. The new variant - which seems to involve a very different color scheme compared to the original - is scheduled to launch in Thailand soon, although there are rumors of its becoming involved in other regions thereafter.

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.

The high-octane iQOO Neo series of Android smartphones is slated to get a new flagship very soon. However, the brand has decided to drop a teaser previewing a potentially crucial spec ahead of this event. It seems the Neo6 can add top-end charging to its arsenal of gaming properties.

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.

Xiaomi has officially announced that it will unveil the Xiaomi 12 Pro in India later this month. It will be presented on April 27 via an online launch event. The vanilla Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12X are unlikely to be launched alongside the Pro version.

OnePlus has indicated that it will launch its first ever phone with ground-breaking 150 watt (W) charging technology soon. Now, images that purport to show this device in the wild for the first time have emerged. Meanwhile, one of the OEM's employee may have confirmed that it will debut with a new and unexpected product name by accident.

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".

A new leak says that OnePlus is working on the vanilla OnePlus 10. The smartphone will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 SoC but will be released in limited quantities.
