OnePlus 8T gets its first Open Beta build

Posted: 12 Mar 2021 07:39 PM PST

The OnePlus 8T is now the happy owner of its very own first Open Beta build released by OnePlus. This is still based on Android 11, by the way, so it's no early access to Android 12 or anything like that. The build is meant to go out to willing beta testers before receiving a wide release to everyone with a OnePlus 8T. Obviously since it's beta you shouldn't expect it to be perfect, bugs could make their presence felt. If you want to jump into Open Beta land for your OnePlus 8T, make sure you head to the Source linked below for the full instructions. Keep in mind that going from a...

Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G's price in Europe might have been outed

Posted: 12 Mar 2021 05:18 PM PST

Of the undoubtedly expansive Mi 11 family, Xiaomi has so far only unveiled one device - the Mi 11 itself. That is likely to change very soon, as we've been hearing a lot about the Mi 11 Lite 5G lately, as well as the Mi 11 Pro and Mi 11 Ultra. We're going to ignore the top of the line models and talk about the most affordable entry in the lineup. A European retailer has listed the Mi 11 Lite 5G in Truffle Black with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage for €408.18. Obviously we can't be sure this isn't just a speculative listing, but bear with us here for some wild speculation. The...

Xiaomi teases king phone, gaming one incoming

Posted: 12 Mar 2021 09:55 AM PST

Xiaomi VP Lu Weibing went on Weibo to promote two upcoming phones by Xiaomi. One is the "machine king" (translated) and the other is a "e-sports game phone". Weibing says if people want those devices they should "wait a little bit", not specifying how much exactly. If we're to guess we'd say the devices in question are the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra and the Black Shark 4, both of which are expected later this year. Both will offer Snapdragon 888 chipsets with the Ultra focusing on imaging with a periscope zoom camera (either 5x or 10x) and the gaming phone possibly bringing a refresh rate...
