Greetings, here is the recap for week 6. OnePlus has reaffirmed its commitment to providing users with 5 years of software updates, consisting of 4 years of major OS updates and 5 years of security support. This decision contrasts with Samsung and Google, who offer 7 years of updates. OnePlus is prioritizing software quality and smooth operation over a promise that it believes misses the mark.
An alleged press image of Nothing’s first midranger, the Phone (2a), circulated this week. The image depicted a phone without a Glyph interface and a design similar to the Nothing Phone (1). However, it was revealed by Steve H. McFly (aka @OnLeaks) that the render is fake. SmartPrix further explained that the source of the render is a Nothing smartphone that was not brought to fruition. Nothing’s teaser also contradicted the phone in the fake render.
The Galaxy A55 5G received its NBTC certification, confirming its 25W charging support. Rumors indicate the phone will soon be launched and may feature an Exynos 1480 chip with 8GB of RAM.
Asus is reportedly working on a Zenfone 11 Ultra. This upcoming device closely resembles the ROG Phone 8 Pro, boasting a 6.78-inch 144Hz display, a 50MP wide camera, a 13MP ultrawide camera, a 32MP 3x telephoto lens, a 5,500mAh battery, and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset.
Xiaomi is preparing to introduce its 14 series to the global market on February 25. The lineup will include the compact Xiaomi 14 and the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, with the 14 Pro unlikely to extend beyond China.
Renders and full specs of the upcoming Zenfone flagship were discovered inside the ROG Phone 8 firmware.
We are able to share an exclusive sneak peek at the Redmi A3. The device will feature a 6.71” display, the first in the series to have a high refresh rate (90Hz), and is expected to be priced under INR 10,000.
Apple may be looking to change the camera placement on the iPhone 16 so it can record spatial video.
