The Xiaomi 12 Ultra may now not be quite as dead as earlier leaks have indicated. A prominent leaker has hinted that the Mi 11-series flagship successor is indeed on the way, and with faster wired charging this time. Its next generation is now slated to offer its OEM's current top speed of 120W - although it might compromise a little on other specs to do so.

The Surface Duo 2 is a good iteration of the Surface Duo series. As our review of the foldable phone shows, however, Microsoft still has a lot of work to do - this also applies to the direct comparison with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3.

The midrange 6 nm MediaTek Dimensity 900 SoC will power the new smartphone alongside 2x2 Wi-Fi 6, an optional orange leather option, and a "Golden Portrait" feature which Infinix claims is the equivalent of a 2x optical zoom.

The Galaxy S22 series will make its debut on February 9. Ahead of launch, however, a new report brings information that will gladden the hearts of expectant Indian fans. Supposedly, the trio of flagships will ditch the Exynos 2200 in favor of Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 when they come to India.`

OnePlus is rumored to launch a second-gen Nord CE very soon. Earlier leaks have purported to spill its battery, charging and SoC specs ahead of this event. Now, some new tips, some from an official source, seem to endorse these rumors.

The Samsung event slated to unveil the Galaxy S22, S22 Plus and S22 Ultra may finally be upon us. However, the rumored designs for all 3 has been revealed in advance of this Unpacked stream - again. This possibly last-minute tip comes in the form of a new 360-degree video that purports to show all 3 phones from all angles this time.

A recent patent-based leak has led to rumors that OnePlus will launch an ultra-flagship variant (perhaps literally) with a periscope camera in place of the current 10 Pro's third rear camera and ring-flash. Now, Concept Creator has incorporated this prediction into new images showing how this premium smartphone might look in the real world.

The Poco M4 Pro 5G is a very low-priced smartphone that has very few weaknesses for a device in this price-range. Our review reveals what the M4 Pro 5G is all about.

The Poco X4 5G has now made the trip over to Geekbench, revealing some of its hardware and mostly corroborating reports that it will be a rebadged Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G. That, of course, means a Snapdragon 695 under the mid-range phone's hood.

A new render for Vivo's rumored 2022 Android flagship seem to confirm the latest design-related leaks relating to this upcoming device.

Samsung typically launches the Galaxy A5x and A7x phones at the same date but that may change this year, as a new leak claims the Galaxy A73 has now been delayed and will debut after the Galaxy A53.

The top-end 12GB RAM/512GB internal storage version of the Mix 4 started at nearly US$1000 in China. Now, however, this SKU can be had for close to the original price of the phone's base model through an online retailer in the same country. It is also being offered in attractive bundles with accessories that get extreme on various levels in some cases.

Samsung's upcoming flagship, the Galaxy S22 Ultra, will be a powerhouse of a phone. The physical package is unlikely to thrill, though, as a leaked image of the Galaxy S22 Ultra's box contents reveals sparse contents.

The Reno7 and 7 Pro has launched in the Indian market, having only been available in China prior to this. The series is still touted as the "Portrait Experts" in its new region. Then again, the vanilla 7 is not exactly the same phone as it was in China; its new international units come with a MediaTek Dimensity SoC rather than one from Qualcomm as before.

Neither of these smartphones might be a flagship variant, but may still manage to offer a selection of powerful and interesting chipsets from both MediaTek and Qualcomm.

The upcoming NEX 5 from Vivo is rumored to launch with an extra-large 7-inch display in 2022.

In so doing, they purport to debunk prior images linked to the device.

A new leak has now provided the most thorough look yet at Samsung's upcoming mid-range phone, the Galaxy A53 5G, with a host of renders, specs, and even pricing information. The Galaxy A53 5G is tipped to play host to Samsung's Exynos 1200 SoC.

The latest rumors suggest that Motorola's new, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1-powered flagship smartphone will change not only its name (currently the Moto Edge X30) but its looks for its debut outside China.

Then again, it calls the possibility of its Special Edition going international into question.

The iPhone SE 2022 has now surfaced in new renders that show it sporting a not-so-new design. The A15 Bionic-powered compact phone is expected to make its debut in the first half of the year, with 5G support and likely updated cameras being its biggest selling points.

The Xiaomi 12 Pro and OnePlus 10 Pro, both powered by Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, have now been put through the paces of a GPU stress test. The results appear to confirm the outcome of prior tests: the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 throttles hard under sustained load.

BlackBerry has announced that it has agreed to sell its "legacy patents" to a group dedicated to acquiring intellectual property.

Motorola also posted its best quarter on record, with 1 of the best-selling phones over the 3 months.

Samsung has not released much of a changelog for the latest update for its Galaxy Note 20 and 20 Ultra thus far.

Therefore, some users in markets such as Europe can install this upgrade on their phablets in advance.

Leaked marketing material for the Samsung Galaxy S22 series has now confirmed regional availability for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Exynos 2200. Rumors claiming widespread Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 adoption look to have been off the mark, sadly.

Google's latest gift sent to an official Pixel-series fan-club allegedly confirms that a mid-range version of its latest flagship smartphone is on the way.

The upcoming RedMagic 7 flagship series will have a variant with an under-display camera, thereby becoming a world-first in its market in 2022 - if new hints dropped by the eminent leaker Digital Chat Station are anything to go by at least. This rumor may be corroborated by a new, strongly Chinese New Year-flavored teaser direct from the brand in question.

Information on pricing of the Galaxy S22 series has leaned hard one way so far: that the phones will all launch with a US$100 premium over their predecessors. One particular leaker is sticking to their guns, though, and claims that the Galaxy S22 series will debut with the same prices as the Galaxy S21 lineup.

Nubia has now officially previewed the Z40 Pro, which will be this brand's 2022 flagship Android smartphone on its launch.

It is also slated to have a graphene-based cooling system for a "3000%" boost for its "heat dissipation coefficient".

Apple has been found to have ended 2021 at the top of the smartphone market in China for the year's final quarter (4Q2021), outdoing local brands such as Vivo, OPPO and Xiaomi.

RedMagic has now confirmed that it will launch a 2022 flagship smartphone called the 7 soon.
