Here's our detailed video review of the Xiaomi Mi 11i

Posted: 21 May 2021 07:17 AM PDT

Welcome to our full video review of the Xiaomi Mi 11i, aka the Mi 11X Pro in India. We liked the phone in a vacuum - it has an excellent display, the very best chipset around in the Snapdragon 888, a dependable battery life with solid charging speed and very capable cameras. There are some cut corners like the plastic frame, side-mounted fingerprint sensor and only IP53 splash resistance. But the Xiaomi Mi 11i is only marginally cheaper than some sough-after flagships like the Galaxy S21 5G, which puts it in a tough spot, market-wise. Indian Mi 11X Pro units have a better going,...

Posted: 21 May 2021 05:37 AM PDT

A new gaming phone from nubia, called Red Magic 6R, will be introduced on May 27. The announcement appeared on Weibo, and this is the first time nubia is going to release an R model.

Asus Zenfone 8 and 8 Flip are officially coming to India

Posted: 21 May 2021 04:48 AM PDT

We knew it was likely, now it is official – the Asus Zenfone 8 is headed to India. Asus has launched a landing page for the phone and while the page just calls it "new phone", we think it will trade under the "8z" name. The reason previous Zenfones adopted the "z" naming is that an Indian company owns the Zen and ZenMobile trademarks, which lead a local court to bar Asus from using the Zenfone name as it could confuse consumers. Aside from the new name tag, however, the phone is as we've seen it in Europe and Taiwan – a petite Snapdragon 888 flagship with high end features. The Sony...

There's an in-display fingerprint sensor too. On the rear...
