ZTE Axon 20 5G arrives as the first phone with under-display camera

Posted: 01 Sep 2020 05:44 AM PDT

In the quest for full-screen smartphones, the selfie camera proved to be a persistent obstacle.

Being the first of its kind brings plenty of bragging rights but also required a whole new approach to the screen assembly process. One of the big problems with past under-display cameras so...

Pre-production iPhone 12 allegedly handled on video

Posted: 01 Sep 2020 05:13 AM PDT

The video bellow allegedly shows off someone handling the new iPhone 12, fresh out of its retail package. But how can we be sure that this isn't just the iPhone 11 Pro? And we don't mean this as an indictment of Apple's slow pace when it comes to its smartphone designs. The first thing that stands out are the flat sides – rumor has it that the 2020 generation of Apple phones will take a cue from the iPad Pros, which have squared off sides. The iPhone 11 generation has rounded sides. But rumors also claimed that the notch will be smaller and we're not seeing it. To be fair, it didn't look...

Posted: 01 Sep 2020 03:29 AM PDT

Xiaomi has announced plans to launch a sub-€300 5G-enabled smartphone later this month. And not just any smartphone, but a member of the capable Mi 10 family that will be powered by a brand new Snapdragon 700-series chipset. The Mi 10 line-up started off with flagships but has since then added some mid-rangers. They are great value for money, though, and this phone promises to live up to that description as well. By the way, if you see "new Snapdragon 700-series" and think of the Snapdragon 732G that was announced yesterday, that one only has a 4G modem. Currently, the 765/768 are...
