Posted: 13 May 2021 05:42 AM PDT

The Oxford Dictionary named "selfie" the word of the year way back in 2013, yet many phones still suck at taking a selfie eight years later. If a terrible front-facing camera has been the bane of your social network existence, you may be interested in what we just received in the mail. The vivo V21 5G brings some serious hardware. The front-facing module houses a high resolution 44MP sensor, which could make pricey phones like the Galaxy S21+ (10MP), iPhone 12 (12MP) and Xperia 1 III (8MP) feel bad.

Posted: 12 May 2021 11:35 PM PDT

ZTE's brand nubia has posted an official video teaser of the nubia Z30 Pro smartphone. The four-minute video says the phone will be ideal for photographers of the night sky, and the device has appeared in the clip as well. The cameras look exactly the same as the Axon 30 Ultra setup and only the "nubia" writing confirmed it is indeed a new phone. Since the ZTE Axon 30 Ultra has a 64MP wide + 64MP standard + 64MP ultrawide + 8MP telephoto setup on the back, we are pretty confident the Z30 Pro will have the same combo.

Poco M3 Pro 5G leaks in official-looking renders just as execs tease specs

Posted: 12 May 2021 07:08 PM PDT

Looks like Poco has something new coming our way soon. The Poco M3 Pro is on its way to complement the vanilla M3 in Poco's ever-expanding roster. It's a similar move to what Poco recently pulled with the X3 and X3 Pro. Unlike that pair, however, it looks like the M3 Pro won't look identical to the M3, opting to forgo that model's standout design for a different type of standout design. We're saying this based on the leaked renders you can see below. Compared to the M3, the M3 Pro will have a MediaTek Dimensity chipset at the helm, according to Kevin Xiaobo Qiu, the head of Poco...

Posted: 12 May 2021 10:30 AM PDT

While other makers try to one-up each other with specs, Asus has created two phones that stand out with their designs. One is notable for its size – it's the smallest Android flagship currently – the other carries on that flip-up camera magic of its predecessor. Asus Zenfone 8 The Asus Zenfone 8 measures 148x68.5x8.9 mm and weighs 169g. While not as small as the iPhone 12 mini, it is smaller than the Xperia 5 III (157 x 68 x 8.2 mm, 168g).
