HMD Global launched the Nokia 9 PureView back in 2019 as the world’s first phone with a penta-lens camera setup. While several reports have talked about its successor model, the Finnish firm has steered away from launching a flagship device. Fresh information shared by the Nokia Power User claims that the company is working on an upper mid-range phone with a penta-lens setup, which will be succeeding the Nokia 8.3 5G smartphone. Probably, this device may arrive in the market as an X-series phone.

The report claims that the Nokia 8.3 5G’s successor will be sporting a penta-lens setup with a 108-megapixel primary camera. The device will not be coming to the market as the Nokia 8.4 5G, but it is likely to be called Nokia X50.

The handset is expected to feature a 6.5-inch PureDisplay V4 that that offers a Quad HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The report states that it is powered by the smartphone will be powered by the unannounced Snapdragon 775G chipset (SM7350 model number).

The device is likely to be powered by a 6,000mAh battery. Recently, a 6,000mAh battery for an upcoming Nokia phone was spotted at the TUV certification platform. The listing revealed that it will arrive with support for 22.5W rapid charging.

There is no word on the other cameras of the alleged Nokia X50 phone. However, the penta-lens setup is expected to include an ultrawide lens, a depth sensor, a macro shooter, and a telephoto snapper. The device is likely to feature ZEISS optics and OZO Audio technology. The report has no other information on its specifications.

It is not clear whether Qualcomm will be launching a chip called the Snapdragon 775G. The recent behind it is that the US-based chipmaker has already announced the 5nm Snapdragon 780G chipset as the successor to the older Snapdragon 765/765G chip. The part number of this chip is SM7350-AB. Hence, it is not clear which processor will be fueling the alleged Nokia X50.

Xiaomi’s sub-brand Redmi is expected to announce the Redmi K40 series of smartphones later this month in China. The lineup is likely to include an upper mid-range phone called the Redmi K40 and a flagship model named Redmi K40 Pro. Today, a reliable tipster from China took to Weibo to reveal key specs of an upcoming mid-range phone from Xiaomi for China. The tipster did not reveal the name of the device. Hence, it is unclear whether it is the Redmi K40 or a Xiaomi Mi 11 series smartphone.

Last month, a clue of a mysterious Xiaomi phone powered by the upcoming sm7350 chipset by Qualcomm was found in Xiaomi Mi 11’s MIUI source code. The final product name of the device is not known. However, it is believed that this chipset could be debuting in the market with Snapdragon 775G moniker in Q1 2021. It appears that the tipster has shed more information on this mysterious Xiaomi phone.

It is speculated that the Snapdragon 775G is a 5nm chipset with Cortex-A78 architecture. It was revealed by the same tipster that a prototype test had revealed that the SoC could score around 530,000 on AnTuTu benchmarks. The chipset is said to carry support for up to 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM, UFS 3.1 storage, and a 120Hz refresh rate display.

The new leak reveals that the upcoming Xiaomi/Redmi phone has an OLED panel with a single punch-hole design. It is said to be equipped with a 64-megapixel primary camera and it is likely to carry support for 5x zoom. The tipster also revealed that it carries fast charging capabilities. Hopefully, newer reports will reveal the identity of this device.

Last year, Qualcomm announced the Snapdragon 765 and Snapdragon 765G for upper mid-range phones alongside the Snapdragon 865. At the recently held Tech Summit Digital 2020, the company unveiled the Snapdragon 888 as the replacement to the SD865 chip, but it did not unveil the successor chip for SD765G. A fresh leak by Digital Chat Station reveals that it may debut in Q1 2021.

It is unclear whether the SD765G’s successor will be called Snapdragon 775G or Snapdragon 777. What is known is that it will be closely related to the Snapdragon 888. Qualcomm’s next Snapdragon 7-series chip is expected to rival MediaTek’s upcoming 6nm MT6893 chip and Samsung’s 5n Exynos 1080 SoC.

Continuing its spree of launching new smartphones, Xioami’s Redmi is now expected to launch the Redmi K40 series smartphones in the fourth quarter this year, i.e. by the end of December. Now, ahead of the phone’s official launch, the device may have surfaced online.

An unnamed Xiaomi smartphone carrying model number M2011K2C has been spotted in a certification process, which is believed to the Redmi K40 series phone. Interestingly, the device is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset which is not yet announced.

If the previous reports are to be believed, then the smartphone in question will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 775G chipset. We expect the company to launch this new chipset along with the flagship Snapdragon 875 SoC in early December.

The Redmi K30 5G smartphone was the first one to be powered by the Snapdragon 765G SoC and we expect that the successor of that chipset will first power the successor of the Redmi K30 5G and could launch by the end of this year.

On the other hand, Xiaomi is also expected to be one of the first smartphone makers to launch devices powered by the flagship Snapdragon 875 SoC. Given that the Redmi K30 Pro was powered by the SD865 chipset, we expect the upcoming SD875 chipset to power the Redmi K40 Pro smartphone.

The OPPO Reno series is already in its fourth generation even though it is just a year old. By the next quarter, we expect OPPO will announce the Reno5 series as details have begun surfacing. Today, a leak revealed the names of the phones in the series and their respective processors, one of which is a chipset that is yet to launch but that we have heard of before.

The source of the leaker is Really Asen Jun, and according to him, there will be three Reno5 phones. They are the Reno5, Reno5 Pro, and Reno5 Pro+. Knowing OPPO, these phones may launch under a different name in other markets. The leaker goes on to reveal the chipsets that are expected to power the three phones.

The Reno5 will be powered by the yet-to-be-announced Snapdragon 775G. This chipset was expected to be announced in June but it still has not been announced. The Snapdragon 775G should bring new features and a higher processing power than the Snapdragon 765G which has turned out to be the go-to chipset for several manufacturers launching mid-range 5G phones.

The Reno5 Pro and Reno5 Pro+ will both feature the Snapdragon 860 Mobile Platform, another processor that is yet-to-be-announced. News of the Snapdragon 860 first surfaced earlier this month, and even then, it was linked to OPPO.

While we know little about these processors, we are pretty sure they will have 5G modems. While OPPO did release 4G variants of the Reno4, we do not think it will do the same for the Reno5 series.

Before the launch of the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite smartphone in Europe, the rumor mill had speculated that it could be rebranded as Xiaomi Mi CC 10 smartphone in China. After the launch, a Xiaomi executive told Mi fans that the Mi Note 10 Lite won’t be rebadged as Mi CC series product. The Mi CC9 series was introduced in July last year. Fresh information reveals that the company could be working on Mi CC 10 lineup and it may debut in the next month. It is speculated to come with a 108-megapixel camera along with support for 120x digital zoom.

A Russian tech blog has revealed some vital information on an upcoming Xiaomi phone that is codenamed as CAS. It is believed to be a family member of forthcoming Xiaomi Mi CC 10 lineup.

The blog states that the company has been working on the CAS phone since the beginning of this year. Its 108-megapixel lens won’t be the Samsung HMX sensor that has been previously seen on phones like Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro, Mi 10, and Mi 10 Pro. Instead, it could be featuring an improved version of the same lens that is codenamed as HM2.
