Sony's Xperia 10 and 10 Plus were the midrange counterparts to last year's flagship Xperia 1. Sony did promise an update to Android 10 in "early 2020" but the two midrangers had to wait a bit longer to finally get the latest Google firmware update. With the COVID-19 outbreak disrupting most companies' regular operations the delay is understandable and the good thing is the latest Android version is finally hitting the duo. For the time being, the rollout is limited to select regions and carriers. It bears the 53.1.A.2.2 build number and also adds the March security...

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...

The Xiaomi Redmi K30 5G Speed Edition appeared earlier today on JD.com with a chipset called Snapdragon 768G.

While there were no specs in the initial leak, later a tweet revealed the internals of the SoC.

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.

The Redmi Note...

The Samsung Galaxy A21s has been popping-up in the rumor mill from time to time, over the last couple of months. Now, a new leak claims to showcase a render of its front side. It's a slightly odd, yet totally believable development, since the front of the phone, as shown here, looks nearly identical to a set of recent Galaxy A21 leaked renders. Not only that, but the Galaxy A11 and M11 appear to be in the exact same boat, as well. Interestingly enough, despite their lower standing in the lineup, the latter two sems to show slimmer chins and top bezels in their respective renders. Alongside...

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...
