Oppo A16s arrives with Helio G35, 6.52″ screen, and 5,000 mAh battery 
Oppo announced the A16 last month with the Helio G35 SoC, and it’s now back with an ‘s’ variant.
However, the Oppo A16s doesn’t bring any significant improvements over the vanilla A16 and isn’t an entirely new phone. It’s just an A16 with an NFC chip onboard. That means you get a Helio G35 SoC, 6.52″ HD+ screen, Android 11-based ColorOS 11.1, and a 5,000 mAh battery.
The Oppo A16s packs a total of four cameras. It has an 8MP selfie unit inside the waterdrop notch, and the triple camera system on the rear consists of 13MP primary, 2MP macro, and 2MP monochrome units.

The Xiaomi Mix 4 (no Mi this time around) was unveiled a few days ago and is apparently already in very short supply. While we were under the impression that initial sales in China are scheduled for August 16, it has become clear that Xiaomi recently had a presale event, which quickly exhausted the first batch of phones on the company’s home market.
There has been no shortage of info on the upcoming iQOO 8 series of devices lately. As far as we currently know, we can expect a vanilla and a Pro version to become official on August 17. In the meantime, it seems units are already out in the wild, as evidenced by five, or so, GeekBench runs for a vivo V2141A. A model number that has previously been associated with the iQOO 8, though, without clear indication whether the vanilla or the pro version.
Realme released the Android 11-based Realme UI 2.0 stable update for the Narzo 30 Pro 5G last week, and now it’s the Narzo 30A that’s getting a taste of Realme’s latest custom Android skin.
Samsung announced a couple of new foldable phones this week, but did you know that Motorola also has phones that fold? Like, the Razr from 2019, the company’s first effort with a foldable screen and an obvious nostalgia play.
If you were for some reason enamored with Realme’s X series of smartphones, time to start mourning. Madhav Sheth, the company’s CEO for Europe and India, has exclusively revealed to TechRadar that the X series is dead. There will be no more devices in this line, which makes the X7 Max 5G launched in India back in June the last of its kind.
