Oppo brings Find X3 Pro in new Cosmic Mocha color

The Find X3 Pro from Oppo debuted earlier this month and instantly grabbed our attention with its sleek design, top-notch specs and unique microscope camera. So far the X3 Pro was available in three colors: Gloss Black, Blue and White, all featuring a glass back, but now Oppo has released a fourth option in China dubbed Cosmic Mocha.

The interesting bit here is that Oppo went with a vegan leather back just like last year’s Orange leather Find X2 Pro model. The new color is only available in the 12GB/256GB trim which is listed at CNY 5,999 ($915)…

Meizu 18 series is now available for overseas shipping

Meizu introduced its 18 series at the beginning of March, but back then the company said nothing about global availability. Now it has suddenly decided to start selling the devices online through AliExpress, and the prices start from $819.

The Meizu 18 has three versions. The most affordable $819 units come in Purple with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. For just $50…

Top 10 trending phones of week 12

With close to two dozen new announcements it’s hardly a surprise that our trending chart is totally different from what we saw last week.

The Poco F3 emerged as our new leader, edging out the Redmi Note 10 Pro, while the OnePlus 9 Pro completed the podium. The three were separated by a few thousand hits in what was the closest three-way race in the past few years. In fact the first and eight place were less than 90,000 pageviews apart over the course of the week.

The Poco X3 Pro ended up fourth with the India-exclusive OnePlus 9R completing the upper half of the chart. The Samsung…

Hot take: OnePlus 9 series

Hot take: OnePlus 9 series

The new OnePlus 9 family is here and this time around, it’s even bigger with an R model joining the vanilla and Pro. Granted, it’s availability is limited, but it may be big in what is quickly becoming the company’s biggest market.

There was a slight price increase but also an exciting partnership with Hasselblad and its $150 million overall investment in its camera R&D. Our early thoughts on the lineup follow.
