Earlier this month, a rumour emerged that LG was planning to release several 5G smartphones including the LG Q92 5G. That rumour is gathering traction as an LG model listed as Q92 has appeared on Google Play Console (via Gadgets Rewind). As usual, the Google Play Console listing includes a front render of the device. The render reveals the presence of a centrally placed single punch-hole which will house the selfie camera.

As per the listed details, the LG Q92 will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765 chipset. The mobile platform is a fast mid-range ARM-based SoC. It is one of the first chipsets that integrate a 5G modem- the Snapdragon X5. The modem brings support for speeds of up to 3.7 / 1.6 Mbps (down- and upload) and mmWave and Sub-6. The processor also features the Adreno 620 GPU. The SoC will be paired with 6GB of RAM but we can’t say if that will be the base model.

The smartphone’s display will have an FHD+ resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels but the screen size is still unknown. Further, the Q92 will boot Android 10 OS out of the box.

LG is yet to officially release any details of the upcoming model. However, the Q92 5G is believed to be a cheaper alternative to the well-received LG Velvet 5G. If that be the case, we may likely see the smartphone launched soon.

ZTE has a new 5G smartphone coming called the Axon 11. We already know what the phone looks like thanks to a poster that leaked a few days ago. Now, the same source has shared the specs of the phone, and they reveal the Axon 11 is actually not a flagship phone but an upper mid-range 5G phone.

Some of the phone’s key specifications were posted on Weibo today by Digital Chat Station and he stated the Axon 11 is a mid-range device. We agree the naming is a bit confusing since the Axon 11 should naturally be a successor to the Axon 10. Actually, there wasn’t an Axon 10 but an Axon 10 Pro. So we expect there will be an Axon 11 Pro in the future that will be a flagship. This may arrive later this year and with the rumored Snapdragon 865 Plus chipset inside.

The Axon 11 will have a 6.6-inch 2340 x 1080 display with a 60Hz refresh rate. It should be an AMOLED panel, so expect an in-display fingerprint scanner. We already know it has a waterdrop notch at the top for the selfie camera.

On the back are four cameras in a squircle camera housing. Digital Chat Station says the primary camera is a 64MP Samsung ISOCELL Bright GW1. This is the same sensor inside the Galaxy A71, Realme X50 Pro, and Black Shark 3 Pro. The details of the other cameras were not revealed.

Coming to the processor, the leaker revealed the Axon 11 is powered by Qualcomm’s SM7250 processor which can either be the Snapdragon 765G or Snapdragon 765. Both chipsets actually go by SM7250 but have different suffixes.

The Axon 11 will also have support for 18W fast charging but there is no mention of the battery capacity. The phone should run Android 10 out of the box with the company’s MiFavor skin on top.

ZTE will announce the Axon 11 on Monday, 23rd of March in China. We expect it to be priced competitively and also hope it will get a global release.
