Renowned leaker @OnLeaks says that the Realme 9 Pro+ will run a MediaTek Dimensity 920 SoC, a 90Hz Super AMOLED screen, a 50MP camera sensor with OIS, and a 4,500mAh battery. Realme is expected to unveil the smartphone in India soon.

According to the latest leaks, Xiaomi may defy expectations by replacing a successor for the Mi 11 Ultra with the Mix 5 Pro. However, a new Weibo post from an executive with the company suggests that this is not the case and there will be a top-end 12-series variant after all. The device might be released soon in order to honor the OEM's CEO.

Samsung has started to roll its latest version of One UI for mobile devices out to the Galaxy S10 5G, the OEM's 2019 flagship smartphone. The upgrade confers Android 12 on the nearly 3-year-old device. However, the OTA is only available in certain markets to date.

A leak online has revealed the Exynos 2200's Geekbench, AnTuTu and GFXBench scores. It manages to trade blows with the competition but fails to impress in a few tests. We should get to see the SoC in action alongside the Galaxy S22 series slated to be launched in February.

A YouTuber pitted the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 against the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and found that the former easily defeats the latter in CPU tests. On the other hand, the Qualcomm part is slightly ahead of the high-end MediaTek Dimensity SoC.

A whole week after failing to unveil the Exynos 2200 on the scheduled date, Samsung has now finally debuted the chipset without warning. The star of the show is, of course, Samsung's new RDNA 2-based GPU—the Xclipse 920—which Samsung promises will deliver console-quality graphics.

Apple's upcoming iPhone SE 3 will not be launched this year. A new leak now claims it could debut in 2023 rather than 2024 and could do so with a 5.7-inch AMOLED. Apple will launch an iPhone SE model this year, though, but it could be branded as the iPhone SE+ 5G.

A new leak has provided a first look at MediaTek's next-gen flagship chipset, the successor to the new Dimensity 900 which could be branded as the Dimensity 10000. The SoC looks set to be built on TSMC's 3 nm, and is expected to do battle with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.

According to sources at Mac Otakara, Apple could be set to launch a new iPad Air 5 model, outfitted with a 5nm A15 SoC and an enhanced camera. The display and chassis may not be upgraded over the current-gen iPad Air, however.

Now, one of them is tipped to debut on the international market as the Lite alternative for the upcoming Find X5 flagship.

A report by Counterpoint Research has now provided a look at sales of Apple's iPhone 13 range in China. The iPhone 13 dominates as expected but the iPhone 13 Mini comes in last by quite the distance, further buttressing rumors of Apple axing the iPhone 14 Mini.

OPPO is thought to launch a vanilla flagship variant with a top-end MediaTek processor (rather than one from Qualcomm as is more usual for the OEM) called the Find X5 in 2022. The putative device may have been fleshed out in a new report. It includes more details on each of its 3 high-res rear cameras.

Recent reports excited Samsung fans in Europe with the idea of the Galaxy S22 Ultra being shipped with the Snapdragon Gen 1 across all regions. New information might just have put paid to those thoughts, however, as it now appears that the Galaxy S22 series will ship with the Exynos 2200 in Europe.

Despite the very fresh nature of the current top-end Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, there are rumblings that might be emanating from the potential of its Gen 2 successor already. They may have been compounded by new word of a Motorola phone into which the silicon is to be integrated. It is also allegedly destined for triple-figure camera and charging tech that beats anything currently on the market.

The Black Shark 5 Pro is tipped as a flagship smartphone with the latest top-end Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, as befits its brand's 'gaming' reputation.

The Exynos 2200 has made yet another trip to Geekbench for a perusal of its CPU capabilities. There's a caveat this time around, though: the chip's Cortex-X2 cores look to be inactive. Regardless, it still manages to keep up with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 for the most part.

Xiaomi is said to have a second generation of its flexible-display flagship series in the works. The latest leak on this subject has what might be good news and bad news for fans of the original Mix Fold.

The Honor Magic V will be the OEM's first-gen foldable on its imminent launch. It is projected to come in 2 RAM/storage SKUs, the starting prices for both of which have just leaked out. Should they prove accurate, they would prove as least as costly as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 before it.
