After a lengthy teaser campaign, Meizu finally unveiled its latest flagships with the Meizu 17 and 17 Pro. Spec-wise the two are nearly identical with the Pro featuring better auxiliary cameras, wireless charging and faster RAM. Visually the two are also almost indistinguishable with the only difference being the 17 Pro comes with a ceramic back. These are also the first 5G entries in Meizu's lineup. The Meizu 17 duo is built around 6.6-inch Super AMOLED displays with 90Hz refresh rate and a first for Meizu punch-hole cutout for the 20MP selfie camera. The panels come with an...

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...

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. It may have looked like a typo, but one leakster on Weibo revealed this is an actual platform by Qualcomm that will be unveiled with the new Redmi phone. While there were no specs in the initial leak, later a tweet revealed the internals of the SoC. Snapdragon 768G & Snapdragon 765G posters The CPU cluster contains one core at 2.8 GHz, another at 2.4 GHz, and a cluster of six at 1.8 GHz. The GPU will remain the same - Adreno 620 - but clocked at 750 MHz instead of 625...

The Meizu HD60 ANC over-ear headphones were unveiled alongside the Meizu 17 flagships and they are a serious piece of kit. They feature active noise cancellation, of course, but there's more to them than that. Meizu HD60 ANC over-ear headphones The HD60 is Hi-Res certified, so it will deliver high-quality audio. They connect over Bluetooth 5.0 and support aptX. There's an analog plug if you want to use a 3.5mm jack too. Noise cancellation is implemented by two chips. Sony's CDX3775 handles the ANC part while a Qualcomm chip with cVc does noise reduction during...

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...

On the back, the Stylo 6 features a triple camera setup placed horizontally as opposed to the single camera on the Stylo 5.

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.

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...
