CEO shares Realme X3 SuperZoom photo, confirms 60x zoom

CEO Madhav Sheth officially confirmed that the Realme X3 SuperZoom is coming - and that it will have a 60x zoom camera. He shared a photo of the Milky Way taken with the phone's Starry Mode and challenges you to try and get a better shot with your current phone. So, this is clearly a periscope camera that we're talking about, likely with 6x optical zoom. Of course, the 60x magnification is achieved with digital processing, but astro-photography relies on a lot of computational skills anyway (astronomers have been doing image stacking for years before phones started doing it). The shared...

Honor X10 5G photos from Everest shared before phone's announcement, Honor 30 Pro+ shots too

A few days ago China sent a survey team to study Mt. Everest, today they reached the Advanced Base Camp at 6,500m (21,300ft). What's interesting about this expedition (besides the scientific work that it will do) is that two photographers, Li Pu and Cai Qing, used two Honor phones to capture some beautiful shots. One of these was the Honor X10 5G, which hasn't been officially announced yet (so these are the first official camera samples from the phone). The five shots have 10MP resolution, since pixel binning was used - the X10 will feature a custom Sony IMX600ysensor with 40MP raw...

Redmi 9 listed on Xiaomi's official site as launch nears

The Redmi 9 just popped up on Xiaomi's global RF certification page, confirming that the phone exists and its model number - M2004J19G. This number was also spotted in a batch of devices that were recently certified by the 3C. These certifications don't reveal much. A related model, the M2004J19C, is listed at the 3C with a 10W charger, though that would be a weird downgrade - both the Redmi 8 and the cheaper 8A support 18W charging. Anyway, these will be 4G phones, which probably comes as no surprise. Previous leaks showed a photo of the quad camera on the back of the phone, which...

Today Verizon has launched the LG Q70, and it's already available to order online from the carrier. If you want to get it outright, you'll have to pay $349.99, which is the full retail price.

Vivo iQOO Z1 earns its 3C certification

MediaTek and vivo have been entangled in a rather quickly-developing plotline, during the last couple of days. It revolves around the announcement of the Dymensity 1000+ chipset, followed immediately by various hints from vivo of an ambassador phone for said chipset - the iQOO Z1. Merely hours later, a mysterious vivo phone, bearing the model number V1986A, has popped-up on the 3C certification authority website. Putting two and two together, this is likely the iQOO Z1, which appears to be heading towards and imminent release. The document confirms 5G support on the phone, as well...

Two new mystery Realme phones visit TENAA - could be the X3 and X50 Youth

The plot continues to thicken around Realme's seemingly never-ending stream of new devices. Last month, a certain RMX2142 appeared on Chinese certification authority TENAA's website. Now, the very numerically-similar RMX2141 and the RMX2052 have joined its ranks. RMX2142 There are more than a few similarities between these devices, as listed by TENAA. All of them seem to have the exact same dimensions of 163.8 x 75.8 x 8.9mm, which, coincidentally, or rather not, match-up perfectly with the existing Realme X50m 5G. Same goes for the reported weight of the RMX2142 and the...
