The nubia V80 Design launched sneakily in several markets. Note that this is the same model that leaked as the ZTE Blade V80 Vita, so other markets may see this under a different name.

There is a 16MP selfie camera punch-holed into the display, but no fingerprint reader – that is on the side instead. The nubia V80 Design measures 7.7mm thick and weighs 191g. This is with a 5,000mAh battery inside that is capable of...

The Honor Magic8 Pro launched in China last month, and is coming soon to the global stage. But we got the rare opportunity to take it for an early spin, so we traveled east straight to the source. The camera system itself has been tweaked slightly, but it isn't overhauled. The main camera is still a 50MP 1/1.3-inch sensor, but its lens is a fixed f/1.6 and no longer an f/1.4-2.0 unit. We can live with that - variable aperture systems in wide-angle phone cameras are more of a gimmick than anything. The lens is also now slightly wider at 23mm compared to 24mm on last year's model. The...
