via shopmatrixRedmi confirms flagship smartphone with elevating selfie camera
We've been hearing about a Redmi flagship for quite some time, and today the company confirmed such a device is arriving. We also expected the phone to have an elevating selfie shooter, and a video, posted by the Xiaomi sub-brand revealed it, ending all speculations and confirming previous spy shots. Redmi posted a short teaser on Weibo, showcasing a partnership with the latest Avengers: Endgame movie, meaning we might see a special version. However, this would clash with the already announced variant of Oppo F11 Pro, so we are eager to see what Redmi has in store for us. The...

Realme is officially expanding to China, as the Oppo sub-brand has already set up a local website with a landing page and is already on Weibo. Today the company posted a video at the social network, showcasing a new smartphone with a pop-up selfie camera in the center. The video is less than a minute and consists a repetitive upbeat melody that can easily stick in your head and leave you humming "it's me, it's me, it's Realme" for the rest of the day. It is the official theme song and the clip has young people having fun, taking selfies, dancing and other stuff to hype you about...

Oppo A1k arrives in India
Oppo A1k was made official last week in Russia. The phone with Helio P22 chipset was launched for the equivalent of $150, but now it arrives in India with a lower price tag. The phone is currently available at offline retailers and we're yet to hear if it will be available at the official online store of Oppo. The A1k offers some basic specs like an 8 MP f/2.2 main shooter and 5 MP front-facing camera. The screen is 6.1" LCD with HD+ resolution and tall 19.5:9 ratio with a waterdrop notch on top. There is only one memory option - 2 GB RAM and 32 GB storage. There is no fingerprint...

Nowadays smartphone companies are offering a batch of nice specs, but compromising over others in order to have a lower price tag. ZTE decided to go the other way and threw everything it had to make a monster of a phone, called nubia Red Magic 3. The new gaming device offers flagship chipset and 12 GB RAM, but it stands out with a huge battery, two types of internal cooling, 8K and 1920 fps slow-mo video recording. Everywhere you look, the nubia Red Magic 3 has an impressive set of features. The 6.65" AMOLED display has 90 Hz refresh rate and 240 Hz touch refresh rate. The panel...

A bunch of new phones debuted this week, but none of them managed to gain enough traction to seriously stir up our most popular phones' ranking. In fact, only two made the chart and they only took the final two spots - the Lenovo Z6 Pro is ninth, while the Redmi Y3 is tenth. On top we get the Samsung Galaxy A50, which has a comfortable gap to the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 in second and the Galaxy A70 in third. The Huawei P30 Pro slid to fourth, while last week's runner-up Samsung Galaxy A80 is down in fifth. The Huawei P30 lite and the Redmi Note 7 Pro retain sixth and seventh for the...

Counterclockwise: wireless charging came first, but fast wired charging is more popular
The Palm Pre was ahead of its time - it introduced the mobile world to wireless charging. Unfortunately, for all its innovation, the phone didn't catch up. In fact, manufacturers would ignore wireless charging up until 2013 when they started pushing it more actively. "Fast" wired charging was born relatively late in the game - 2014. There's no firm definition of the term, so we're counting phones that can go above the 10W provided by plain USB. We've chronicled the fight between wireless charging standards before. Spoiler: eventually Qi by the Wireless Power Consortium emerged as the...
via shopmatrixWeek 17 in review: Samsung delays the Galaxy Fold, OnePlus 7/7 Pro are coming
Week 17 was circled on many a calendar because it was the week when you could pre-order a foldable phone for the first time (while in the US you could even have received one). Samsung's Galaxy Fold was finally coming but sadly due to some issues with the early devices Samsung decided to delay the release of the foldable phone until those issues are dealt with. It's a smart move, despite the outcry it faced. Samsung doesn't want another recall like the infamous Galaxy Note7 one so it's pulling back the Galaxy Fold before it gets into consumer hands. Hopefully it will be released soon and...

EE announced that it will run a trial 5G network at the Glastonbury festival - a record 200,000 people are expected to attend, which might have been a great stress test that will show off the increased capacity over 4G. Except how many attendees will actually have a phone that can connect to a 5G network? A couple of weeks ago, Swisscom launched its 5G network in Zurich. Verizon and AT&T are operating 5G networks in the US. Telstra and Optus in Australia already have 5G networks too. SingTel in Singapore is running tests. 5G networks are here (or at least near), but are there any phones to...
via shopmatrixHuawei P30 Lite in for review
This year with its P series smartphones Huawei did things differently. Whereas before the Huawei P20 Lite and P10 Lite preceded their more capable counterparts by a month, the P30 Lite comes a month after the P30 and P30 Pro. And unlike the Lites of old, this Lite is sits closer to its regular and Pro siblings. But before we compare them, let's take a look in the box. The Huawei P30 Lite comes with earbuds (3.5mm ones, as the Lite has an audio jack), USB-C cable and an 18W wall charger. Interestingly there's no complimentary case in the box, though it looks like there is an empty space...

Weekly poll results: the rear camera is all that counts, front cams get little love
Last week's poll produced one of the most definitive answers we've had in a while - rear cameras are more important then selfie cameras, the vote was nearly 10:1 in their favor. However, we went through the comments to get a feel for how people use their phones and found that the world is not ready for a world without front-facing cameras. Some use them for video calls - not shooting video, just video calls. Others like the option of face unlock. And, yes, some people do take selfies, but by the sound of it, they wouldn't be too mad if there was a way to just use the rear camera for...

Besides smartphones, you can expect to see Realme-branded smart accessories later this year too. That covers the most immediate plans, but Sheth also talked at length about what's to come. The...

An alleged photo of the battery appeared online showing off a 4,500 mAh unit, which is precisely 500 mAh more than the previous generation Galaxy Note9. If you look closely enough, you can also see the model number EB-BN975ABU of the battery, which in turn can be linked to the SM-N975 model number corresponding to the Galaxy Note10 Pro.
