Latest tech news from top Chinese companies
Starting today, POCO is an individual company. Until now it was a sub-brand of Xiaomi that targeted mid-range prices for flagship performance. Only one device was released so far, the POCOPhone F1, but it saw huge success all around the world. It is easy to like the device. It has a flagship-level CPU, the Snapdragon 845, a good FullHD+ screen and above-average photo capabilities. Some compromises were clearly made, but the device feels well build and runs smoothly. Xiaomi decided…
OnePlus managed to get a lot of praise for introducing the 90Hz display in the OnePlus 7 Pro last year. The display is really good and everybody that had the chance to see it in action praised it and appreciated the smoothness. This year the company is preparing something even better. In an official statement, OnePlus has confirmed that they are collaborating with Samsung to launch a smartphone with a 120Hz refresh rate display this year. OnePlus is calling it…
Two days ago we wrote about a possible leak of a Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro smartphone that suggested the phone could come with an under-display selfie camera, as could be seen in the image above. Even though we stated then that it could be a fake and should be taken with a grain of salt, we decided to come with more details now, when the image was proven to be a fake. After some more digging by other people, it…
UPDATE: It is just a concept, not a real image. More details here. Over the past couple of days, two images started to surface on Weibo that allegedly show the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro and the front glass panel for the phone. Right now we can’t confirm the authenticity of these images, so please take everything here with a big grain of salt, but if we are to believe these leaks, the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro may be the first…
In the past two years we saw many Windows tablets or 2-in-1 convertibles that had really great prices. Usually, you could find one for $200 to $250 or even less during sale events. Even though they were decent devices for basic web browsing or for watching movies, the Atom CPU inside was not suitable for most productivity tasks. It seems that those days are over, with the slightly more powerful Celeron chips replacing them. At least, this is what Chuwi…
Elephone is launching its first smartphone for 2020: the Elephone U3H. Yah…I don’t know either the logic behind the naming, but let’s move past it and focus on the device itself because it is quite interesting. Now, it is still a mid-range smartphone, but Elephone is packing a lot of internal storage and features that are usually not found at this price point. The ELEPHONE U3H comes with the older Helio P70 chipset. It is still a decent mid-range CPU,…
Realme wants to make sure that people are talking about their brand and smartphones from their portfolio. This is part of their strategy on reaching the number 1 smartphone seller in India, and also achieving great results in other countries. That is why today marks the very first smartphone release for 2020 for Realme. They unveiled a new budget smartphone that, despite having a really low price tag, does come with a few cool specs. They did make a few…
It is no secret that 5G is going to take off in 2020. More and more smartphones will launch with 5G connectivity and even though it won’t be the year that this new tech will surpass 4G, it will be the year that we will truly see smartphones with 5G options widely available. Mediatek, obviously, want’s a piece of the cake and that is why it unveiled a new series of 5G-ready chipsets that will reach mid to high-mid range…
Mobvoi is a company we covered quite a bit on this site, and for good reason. They offer interesting products with good features at affordable prices. Their smartwatches are really good, and among the cheapest with WearOS, and the TicPods managed to attract many buyers. The later ones needed a remake since the audio marked changed a lot in the past years, with more and player entering the truly wireless earbuds field. Well, Mobvoi was active and they just launched…
A few months ago I wrote about an interesting new company called NReal that is developing a pair of smart glasses that focus on mix-reality, gaming, and advanced interactions. Something that Google tried in the past but eventually abandoned the project, at least for general consumers. After that article (which I strongly recommend you read since it is really interesting), there was almost complete silence…until today. Black Shark just announced that they are partnering with NReal to bring mix-reality to…
