The Snapdragon 898 will probably be unveiled on November 30
Nothing is official or set in stone yet, you it’s a fair assumption to make. Qualcomm recently published a page on its website revealing that its Tech Summit event will be held between November 30 and December 2, 2021. A big banner with a boat tracing an infinity sign in the water and a “More to come, soon!” text – that’s about it. No extra info, no itinerary, no nothing as of writing this article.
Still, putting two and two together, rumors of the next flagship Snapdragon 898 have been floating around for some time now. In fact, some sources claim that the first phone to use the…
Sony is clearly very proud of its new Xperia Pro-I and is enjoying it thoroughly and with good reason. The Xperia Pro-I is honestly more akin to a professional tool, like a DSLR than a general-purpose smartphone and it makes sense to treat it as such, giving it to creators to experiment with and give feedback on.

It seems like Oppo is just deliberately trying to confuse everybody at this point. As we are currently waiting on the Reno7 series to drop sometime this month, the smartphone giant clearly has no intention of slowing down its constant rebranding and tiny specs iteration efforts, this time adding yet another member to the Reno6 family. A leaked promo video showcases a Reno6 Lite, apparently headed to Europe shortly and outlines most of its specs. In a hardly surprising development, the Reno6 Line is basically a rebranded Oppo F19. A device that has been selling since April in India, which is…
There has been persistent chatter within the industry that Realme is working on its first phone with an under-display camera for some time now. In fact, back in September, Realme VP Xu Qi Chase posted an image of a smartphone on Weibo that has no notch or a punch hole for the selfie camera, and he clarified in the post’s comments that the device doesn’t come with a pop-up mechanism either, meaning it is using under-display camera tech. In our recent interview with Realme’s Madhav Sheth the pop-up selfie tech was also mentioned as pretty unlikely to make a return.
Oppo seems to be keeping busy working of variants of the vanilla Oppo A16 announced back in July. Last month an Oppo A16s version was revealed, which basically just added NFC to the original. Now there is a new A16K already on sale in the Philippines. It, however, actually features quite a few changes, or rather downgrades compared to the regular Oppo A16.
