Xiaomi confirms arrival of Mi 11 Pro and Mi 11 Ultra at March 29 event

Xiaomi has scheduled yesterday a “Mega Launch”, without actually telling what will be unveiled at the online event. Today the company lifted the curtain on Weibo, revealing the worst-kept secret – we’ll see the Mi 11 Pro and Mi 11 Ultra, just like we expected.

The poster does not say anything about a Mi 11 Lite, simply because the Lite series sells under a different name in China, and this particular phone might be launched later for the domestic scene.

In the Weibo post, Xiaomi said the two new phones will be challengers for the “Best Android smartphone” title and will be the…

Oppo Reno5 Lite key specs revealed by Geekbench

An Oppo smartphone bearing model designation PELM00 and believed to be the Reno5 Lite was certified by China’s 3C with 30W charging last December. Now the same device has passed through Geekbench, revealing key specs in the process.

Samsung double-folding phone coming this year, report claims

What’s next after folding smartphones? Well, some manufacturers seem to think it’s rollables, others – like Samsung – have another idea. Enter the double-folding phone. Or dual-folding. Or DualFold. Whatever you want to call it, a new report from Nikkei Asia claims the Korean company is working on just such a device. It should allegedly be out by the end of the year, and Samsung has so far filed multiple patent applications for such a double-hinged design, apparently.

OnePlus 7, 7 Pro, 7T, and 7T Pro Android 11 update seems to be rolling out now

If you own one of OnePlus’ four high-end smartphones from 2019, you’ve been patiently (or not so patiently) waiting a lot of time for the company to release a non-beta finalized stable Android 11 build for your phone, be that the OnePlus 7, 7 Pro, 7T, or 7T Pro.
