Xiaomi Mi 10i and Redmi 9 Power incoming, likely the Chinese Redmi Note 9 phones

Xiaomi introduced three Redmi Note 9 phones back in March, followed by three more in November but the latter trio was designated for the local market. Or that’s what we thought - apparently, the Chinese company is planning to launch them online under new names. According to two listings on Google Play Console, the Xiaomi Mi 10i and Xiaomi Redmi 9 Power are on their way but the model numbers match with the freshly introduced Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G and Redmi Note 9 4G.

Samsung is working on an object tracker called Galaxy Smart Tag

Samsung is apparently looking to expand its Galaxy brand even further than before, this time to also encompass what seemingly will be a smart object tracker, akin to Tile. We're assuming this will work in concert with Samsung's SmartThings Find feature, which was unveiled recently. SmartThings Find can find compatible Galaxy products with more accuracy, and the upcoming Galaxy Smart Tag is going to be one of those. But also, based on the name, it's most likely to be a smart object tracker, to compete with Tile. The Galaxy Smart Tag was certified by the Indonesian authorities with the model...

So if you're interested, make sure you buy soon, because after the flash sale ends, the price will be upped by $20, as already announced. The Poco M3 is definitely a very intriguing device, with its price obviously being one of...

Apple gets fined $12 million in Italy for its water resistance claims

Apple has just been fined €10 million (about $12 million) in Italy because of the way it advertises water resistance for its devices. Italy's antitrust authority doesn't like how "aggressive and misleading" Apple's commercial practices are, regarding its iPhones and their water resistance ratings. The regulator said in a statement that Apple advertises iPhones as water resistant without clarifying that they are only so under certain circumstances. It added that the company is tricking its customers through its disclaimers, which say that phones aren't covered by warranty in case of...

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 to cost as much as the Z Fold2

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 is still pretty far off but info starts to emerge lately. This one, for example, gives some insight into the possible pricing of the handset. The cited source has an excellent leak track record but warns not to take it as a sure thing yet. The report says that the price of the Z Fold3 will be the same as the Z Fold2 while adding quite a few improvements suggesting a Z Fold3 pricing in the $2,000 ballpark. Even though it's too early to tell, we can see why Samsung won't lower the price further. Its main goal, for now, is not to make it more affordable but...

MediaTek's MT6893 edges out Snapdragon 865 in AnTuTu test

MediaTek is working on its first 6nm chipsets and there are at least three different versions, likely future Dimensity models. The middle child, the MT6893, seems to be the one closest to completion and we’ve already seen it trade blows with the Snapdragon 865 in an early Geekbench test.

New OnePlus 9 Pro renders offer a close look at what's coming in March

Earlier this month we saw the first renders of the upcoming OnePlus 9 Pro. They show that the company has chosen a camera hump design similar to the 8T and Nord N-series rather than a continuation of the 7 Pro and 8 Pro design. There are two prominent camera modules plus two smaller lenses. A wide, ultra wide and tele cameras are a given, but the function of the fourth cam is unknown – we doubt the controversial IR camera will make a return. But no periscope camera either, by the looks of it. OnePlus 9 Pro renders Anyway, LetsGoDigital and Concept Creator worked...

Lypertek is a small Chinese audio manufacturer that shot to prominence last year with its in-ear TWS earbuds, the Lypertek Tevi.

Week 48 in review: Poco M3, Redmi Note 9 trio official

Welcome to another week's recap. The biggest story is the European Parliament's vote in favor of users' right to repair. Starting in January, countries like France will begin labeling smartphones, laptops and other electronics with a repairability score of 1 through to 10.

Weekly poll: what do you think of the Poco M3?

The Poco M3 became available in the US and Europe this Friday – and since this isn’t just any other Friday, the $150/€150 phone was discounted to $130/€130.

Weekly poll results: Realme 7 5G gets a lukewarm reception, its Black Friday gambit fails

The need for 5G is a contentious topic with many still not being sold on the next-gen network technology – or just plain not having access to it. Which doesn’t bode well for the Realme 7 5G whose defining feature is... well, it says it right in the name. However, the results from last week’s poll show that lack of 5G hype is not the phone’s biggest issue. No, most voters aren’t convinced that this is the best 5G mid-ranger that money can buy, not even with the Black Friday discount it had this week. Some are holding off until reviews of the phone come out – speaking of which, check...

Samsung Display teases tri-folding screen and rollable devices

Samsung may have indirectly teased two eventual devices. On Samsung Display’s blog, the company has released two sketches of new devices that could plausibly arrive as a real Samsung device in the coming years. In the first illustration, a device with a tri-folding display reimagines the Galaxy Fold. This new design would eliminate the Fold’s need for an external display, as it could fold down to a third of its unfolded footprint and only use the top section of the screen. The small logo at the bottom of the sketch reads “Samsung OLED”. The next drawing imagines a rollable...

Huawei's boss wants recently sold Honor to become its biggest competitor

Earlier this month the persistent rumors were proven true: Huawei sold off its Honor brand to a consortium of Chinese companies. The sale was widely believed to have been triggered by the various bans that Huawei has been subjected to by the US government.

YouTube for Android TV app adds support for 8K video playback

YouTube added support for 8K videos back in 2015 – long before 8K cameras or TVs were easily accessible. Five years later, flagship smartphones can shoot video in that resolution and there are some 8K TVs that, while pricey, are not completely out of reach. So, this update to the YouTube for Android TV app is a bit late, but better late than never. The changelog says that the new version adds “limited 8K support to Android 10 and up”. It’s not clear what “limited” means, but if you have a smart TV running Android 10 you can give it a shot. Here is probably the first 8K video to be...

Huawei to use liquid lens in its 2021 flagships

A new report coming straight from China claims that Huawei is in the final stage of testing the so-called liquid lens, which is supposed to largely improve image stabilization and focus times. In fact, the focus time will be reduced to a couple of milliseconds matching the focus time of the human eye.

As a bonus, the implementation will be more durable to shock as well, compared to the...
