Honor needed no fanfare to release its latest entry-level smartphones – X5b and X5b Plus. The devices are available in several Middle East markets; as the names suggest, they are closely related. Honor did make the Plus slightly better, but similarities are more than the differences. Honor X5b and X5b Plus have an LTE-only Helio G36 chipset and run Android 14 with MagicOS 8.0 on top. The screen is a basic 6.56" LCD with a waterdrop notch, 720p resolution and 90 Hz refresh rate. The selfie camera mounted inside the notch has a 5 MP sensor. Around the back there are 50 MP main...
Google introduced the Pixel 9 series in India in August, including the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold. But only the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold were sold in the country. However, on October 17, Google will launch the Pixel 9 Pro in India, which will be up for pre-orders in India through Flipkart. Its base variant is priced at INR109,999 ($1,310/€1,200).

A while back the Poco C75 was certified by the FCC on its way to launch, and today we have our first ever leaked renders to look at. These show the device in all three colors in which it will be offered, and while the black one is reasonably subdued, the other two are all glitzy and glamorous - or at least they're trying to be. As you can see, the phone will come in black, gold, and green. It will allegedly be powered by the MediaTek Helio G85 SoC paired with up to 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and up to 256GB of storage, and will have a 6.88-inch HD+ LCD touchscreen with 120 Hz refresh...
Xiaomi already announced the 5G-capable Redmi Note 14 Pro, but now it looks like there will be a 4G-only model as well. This has been certified by the FCC under the model number 24116RACCG - that "G" at the end stands for "global". This model will apparently come with a 6.67-inch 1080x2400 pOLED screen, it will have 8/12GB of RAM, 128/256/512GB of storage, and a 5,500 mAh battery. It will run Android 14 with HyperOS 1.0 on top. At the helm should be a MediaTek chipset, but unfortunately we don't know which one. For reference, the Redmi Note 13 Pro 4G uses the Helio G99 Ultra, so...
Today, vivo unveiled its X200 series with the X200, the X200 Pro, and the X200 Pro mini. Undoubtedly, the mini is the most impressive of the bunch. Here, mini means smaller, not inferior. The X200 Pro mini has the same display technology, almost the same cameras, and the same new chipset, only in a more compact, and different-looking package. So what's different? The biggest visual difference is the frosted glass back of the X200 Pro mini. The X200 Pro has a glossy finish. Vivo made a few leaps with the X200 series over the X100. The first is in design - the new phones are...
