| Posted: 16 May 2021 05:07 AM PDT  This is the Xiaomi Mi 11i if you're in Europe. If you're in India, then this is the Xiaomi Mi 11X Pro and it shares the majority of its specs and all of its looks with the Xiaomi Mi 11X and the Poco F3. Confused? Don't worry - depending on where you live, Xiaomi will supply just one of these very good phones. The European model we have here ships with a 33W charger, USB cable, 3.5mm dongle and a case. You can pick the Mi 11i now for €649 with 8/128GB or €699 with 8/256GB and in three colors - Celestial Silver, Cosmic Black and Frosty White. We have the most reflective of the bunch at... |
| Weekly poll: is the Asus Zenfone 8 the small phone for you or would you like a Zenfone 8 Flip? Posted: 16 May 2021 01:29 AM PDT  Truly tiny flagships may never return, but over the last couple of months a couple of relatively small models did appear. The latest is the Asus Zenfone 8, which has a 5.9" display with 20:9 aspect ratio and a punch hole selfie camera. Its dimensions are 148x68.5x8.9mm, that's as small as Android flagships get at the moment. And it's down to the basic design choices made by Asus, which contrast with Sony's choices for the Xperia 5 III – a 6.1" display with a taller 21:9 aspect ratio and classic bezels (with camera and all, making them thicker). That makes the phone 157x68x8.2mm in size.... |
| Weekly poll results: the Redmi K40 Gaming looks like a winner Posted: 15 May 2021 10:03 PM PDT  Gaming phones are not for everyone, but last week's poll shows that if you want one, the Redmi K40 Gaming is a great pick. It stands apart from the rest of the K40 family (itself fairly popular) with a MediaTek Dimensity 1200 chipset replacing the Snapdragons. It has been on sale in China for a couple of weeks now, it goes for CNY 2,000 ($310 or so), the same price as the vanilla K40. The two share many similarities, including the 120Hz OLED with HDR10+ support. To improve response times, the gaming phone cranks up the touch sampling rate from 360Hz to 480Hz and includes shoulder... |
| Hot take: Asus Zenfone 8 Flip and Zenfone 8 Posted: 15 May 2021 06:33 PM PDT  It's been 7 years since Asus launched its Zenfone series and we now have the latest additions with the Zenfone 8 and Zenfone 8 Flip. The past two years saw a few very exciting devices by the brand with the Zenfone 6 and Zenfone 7 series and while it's too early to say if that will be the case with the newly launched phones we can still go over what we liked and what rubbed us the wrong way with the two new Asus phones. The Flip carries on the exciting mechanism, but is light on upgrades The most striking feature of the last two Zenfones was their flip up camera system. The new Zenfone 8... |
| Leica is looking for a new smartphone partner, eyeing Xiaomi and Honor Posted: 15 May 2021 02:59 PM PDT  According to inside sources, the Huawei-Leica partnership is coming to an end, with the P50 series being the last handsets from the company carrying the Leica branding. The information comes from a series of tweets posted by a fairly renowned tipster focusing on Huawei intel. He also suggests that Leica is looking for a new smartphone OEM partner and Xiaomi, Honor and Sharp are likely candidates. And why not all of them? A non-exclusive deal is quite possible, the Nokia-Zeiss and Sony-Zeiss partnerships are just one example. It's sad to see this partnership go as Huawei and Leica... |
| Asus Zenfone 8 could arrive as 8z in India Posted: 15 May 2021 12:00 PM PDT  The Asus Zenfone 8 series was supposed to debut in India earlier this week, but that didn't happen since the launch was postponed due to the current COVID-19 situation in the South Asian country. It's unclear when the Zenfone 8 and 8 Flip will arrive in India, but whenever Asus introduces the duo in the country, the vanilla 8 could be called the 8z. The reason being that the Zenfone 8 Indian variant with model code I006D has appeared in the list of Google Play supported devices as the "ASUS 8Z". The 8 Flip, on the other hand, isn't listed as 8z Flip, but it won't be a surprise if Asus... |
| Sony Xperia Ace 2 appears in case renders Posted: 15 May 2021 10:00 AM PDT  Initially known as a Sony Xperia Compact, the rumored Xperia Ace 2 makes an appearance in a series of case renders. Some suspect the phone will be a Japan-only device but only time will tell if this turns out to be true. Sony Xperia Ace 2 As for the case renders, they reveal a dual-camera setup on the back, what seems to be a side-mounted fingerprint reader and a dedicated button for the camera shutter. Unfortunately, though, there's no way of telling whether it will sport a punch-hole design or it will stick with a thicker top bezel. Sony Xperia Ace 2 If we go... |
