Today, the company has revealed that it will be hosting a launch event for a smartphone on 20th February. Xiaomi has also confirmed that it will be launching its next flagship smartphone — Xiaomi Mi 9 — at a launch event on 20th February in China.

Xiaomi executives have suggested that the upcoming flagship smartphone is not only powerful in terms of performance but also the best-looking smartphone from Xiaomi so far. However, we’ll see that when the device gets officially launched.

Earlier, the phone was also spotted on Geekbench benchmarking portal and it achieved a single-core score of 3158 points and a multi-core score of 11174 points.

Feb 13, 2019

A few days ago, OnePlus sent out media invites for its event during Mobile World Congress 2019 in Barcelona, Spain. The company had said that the event is for the networking purpose only and that it does not intend to launch any new product.

However, as it turns out, during its MWC 2019 event, OnePlus will be showcasing the prototype of its upcoming 5G smartphone. Last year, it was announced by the company during Qualcomm’s event that OnePlus will be among the first smartphone manufacturers to launch a 5G-compatible smartphone.

Revealing details about the company’s plan with their booth at the Mobile World Congress, OnePlus said:

Connect with the OnePlus Community over 5G
OnePlus, at Qualcomm’s booth (Hall 3 Stand 3E10), invites all to connect and communicate with our community over a 5G network. Attendees will also be able to experience the capabilities of 5G gaming on a OnePlus 5G prototype. Keep an eye out for the limited-edition Qualcomm x OnePlus pin badge, only available at the OnePlus stand.

OnePlus has collaborated with European telecom carrier EE to be among the first brands to launch a 5G smartphone. The company has made it clear that the device that will be showcased during MWC 2019 will not be a finished product and those who show up at the company’s booth will be able to try the prototype.

The prototype OnePlus 5G smartphone will be powered by Qualcomm’s next-generation flagship Snapdragon 855 chipset along with Qualcomm’s X50 5G modem. The company will be launching OnePlus 7 later this year but it’s not yet confirmed if the 5G model will be a variant of the OP7 or an entirely new smartphone.

However, previous reports have indicated that the OnePlus’ 5G smartphone will not be a part of OnePlus 7 lineup and will kick-off a new lineup for the China-based company. A recent report based on the information received from people who are aware of the matter, OnePlus’ 5G phone will be costing $100 more than the OnePlus 6T.

While the company has not announced the launch date of its 5G smartphone and have just revealed that it will be among the first brands to launch a 5G phone, reports suggest that the OnePlus 5G smartphone will be launched by the end of May this year, at least in the UK.

The hot-selling OnePlus 6T catapults OnePlus to the top 5 ranking in the US in Q4 2018

Around August last year, OnePlus announced that it had sealed a mutually beneficial deal with T-Mobile that would see the OnePlus 6T and subsequent smartphones getting released under the US carrier. Smartphone sale in the US market is heavily dependent on telecom carriers. So, the move was a pretty impressive one and the results have started streaming in

According to a report by the International Data Corporation (IDC) as contained in an official press release by OnePlus, it ranks among the top five high-end smartphone vendors during the fourth quarter. Much of this is as a result of the OnePlus 6T that was released within the fourth quarter. The OP6T is reported to have sold so well in the US between October and December. Fora company that is barely 5 years old in the industry, that is no small feat. Also, this is coming in the face of a slump in global smartphone shipments.

Unfortunately, OnePlus didn’t disclose its market share in the high-end US market but we believe it is huge to have lifted the company to the top 5 brands in Q4 2018. The figures could even be higher but the OnePlus 6T wasn’t available all quarter just like the OP6 that equally got lots of positive reviews. In case you are wondering who the remaining four brands are, that wasn’t disclosed but there is no doubt Apple and Samsung occupy the first two lots. Google and LG are tipped to also be among the top 5.

Chinese phone maker ZTE launched a new entrance into the smartphone industry with the Axon 9 Pro released in August last year after the US ban was lifted. The company is now in the thick of plans to release a successor to the Axon 9 Pro. The device was spotted recently on GeekBench as ZTE A2020 Pro. The Axon 10 Pro moniker has now been confirmed by its listing on the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) where it has just been certified.

The document clearly shows the GeekBench listed ZTE A2020 Pro will be known as Axon 10 Pro when it is eventually launched officially. The EEC listing doesn’t contain any other detail about the device but previous leaks including the GeekBench listing shows the Axon 10 Pro will pack a Snapdragon 855 chipset paired with 6GB of RAM. The phone is expected to also run Android 9 Pie out of the box.

Further, the Axon 10 Pro is expected to utilise a 6.4-inch 1080p+ screen. The phone will also pack a 16MP+20MP dual camera on the rear as well as a 25MP selfie camera. The device will get its juice from a 4,300mAh battery with fast charging.

Leaked Samsung Galaxy S10+ banner reaffirms the front design

As the February 20 launch event for the Galaxy S10 series draws nearer, we expect the rumour mill to continue buzzing. The latest leak comes from popular tipster Evan Blass and it is an official-looking promotional banner for the Galaxy S10+. Rightly so, the banner contains the render of the flagship device, availing us another chance to feast on the design.

The render only shows the front view of the Galaxy S10+ and the most important feature that we can see is the punch-hole display which houses not one, but two selfie cameras. The punch-hole design fits in line with Samsung’s Infinity O display technology, which the company talked about at a press conference back in November. As a result of the design, the bezels surrounding the display on the Galaxy S10+ are noticeably slimmer.

So yeah, looks like that's definitely happening… [Thanks, tipster!] pic.twitter.com/CQ0nxrAGh2

The Samsung Galaxy S10+ is said to feature a 6.4-inch AMOLED display just like the Galaxy Note 9 but this model may likely offer the highest screen-to-body ratio for any Samsung smartphone yet. Although the render doesn’t show the rear, previous leaks show the device will have three camera sensors with an LED flash at the side. There is no fingerprint sensor at the rear which means the device will feature an in-display fingerprint sensor. The location of the volume rockers and power buttons at the side don’t seem to have changed. The volume rockers and Bixby button are on the left side while the power button sits at the right. The Galaxy S10+ is expected to pack a Snapdragon 855 chipset as well as the latest Exynos 9820 on some models. For memory, the device will have at least 6GB of RAM and up to 1TB of native storage.
