We have been compiling top stories regularly for the past few weeks. This time we thought to do something different. As you guys seem to be more interested in our coverage of leaks and rumors, we thought to put them together. Hence, in this article, we talk about the top leaks and rumors from last week.

In the last few days, we reported on leaks and rumors surrounding the most-awaited smartphones from multiple OEMs. Let’s take at them one by one in no particular order.

Top Leaks and Rumors from Last Week

Redmi K50 and Redmi K50 Pro to sport vivo-like design

We finally got to see the design of the upcoming Redmi K50 and Redmi K50 Pro last week. Unfortunately, the new-gen Redmi K series phones will drop their unique design language in favor of a rear design inspired by vivo. This design was first introduced by the Xiaomi group on Xiaomi CIVI.

Thanks to TENAA, we also know the maximum available memory configuration of Redmi’s flagship smartphone lineup. The Redmi K50, the Redmi K50 Pro, and the Redmi K50 Pro+ will max at 8GB + 256GB, 12GB + 256GB, and 12GB + 512GB respectively.

POCO F4 GT specs leak confirm Redmi K50G rebrand

The key specs of the yet-to-release POCO F4 GT leaked last week. According to them, the device will be indeed a rebadged Redmi K50G, which is also known as Redmi K50 Gaming Edition.

This is not surprising as the Redmi K40 Gaming Edition debuted as POCO F4 GT in global markets. Most importantly, the Redmi K50G was already spotted at certification websites as Redmi K50G.

There may not be a Xiaomi 12 Lite but new CIVI series phones instead

Earlier last week, a report revealed that Xiaomi 12 Lite will be a fusion of Xioami CIVI and Xiaomi 12. A day later, another report disclosed that Xiaomi CIVI Pro may launch soon with slightly better specs than the original Xiaomi CIVI. This device was originally supposed to release as Xiaomi 12 Lite Zoom.

A few days from that, a Xiaomi exec confirmed that there will be no Xioami 12 Lite in 2022. This means the rumored Xiaomi 12 Lite could release as a Xiaomi CIVI series phone in China alongside the so-called Xiaomi CIVI Pro. But we cannot rule out the possibility of it launching under Xiaomi 12 Lite branding in international markets.

vivo may release a ‘Note’

The long-rumored vivo NEX 5 is now expected to go official as vivo X Note. A leak from last week not only disclosed the phone’s name but also some of its specs.

The device is said to arrive with a 7-inch QHD+ 120Hz curved AMOLED display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, 50MP Samsung ISOCELL S5KGN1 primary camera, 48MP Sony IMX598 secondary camera, 12MP Sony IMX663 tertiary camera, and 8MP OmniVision OV08A10 quaternary camera with 5x optical zoom lens, 5,000mAh battery, and 80W fast charging.

Next-gen Samsung A series is just around the corner

The key features of the forthcoming Galaxy A73 5G, Galaxy A53 5G, Galax A33 5G, and Galaxy A23 5G emerged last week. The details about their display, chipset, camera, battery, and charging leaked.

All four will sport an FHD+ high refresh rate display and a quad-camera system. Most of them will have a 5,000mAh battery and a couple of them will have 25W fast charging support, while the remaining two will be limited to 15W charging.

Interestingly, only one of them will feature a Qualcomm chipset. Whereas, two models will come with MediaTek SoCs and the remaining one will house an Exynos chip.

Cheapest 5G iPhone ever to release in a few days

According to a report from last week, the upcoming Apple iPhone SE 2022 is rumored to start at only $300. It will be $100 cheaper than its predecessor iPhone SE 2020.

Despite being more affordable, the latest model is expected to arrive with 5G connectivity, a new chipset, and better battery life. If this happens to be true, then It will release as the cheapest 5G iPhone to date.

Leo Wong De Quan — Wed, 19 Jan 2022 03:35:34 +0000

A flagship smartphone nowadays cannot compete based on raw performance alone, as last year, as even the mid-range segment has started using top-of-the-shelf flagship processors. Xiaomi equipped its Redmi K40 series with Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 and Snapdragon 888 processors, Realme equipped its Realme GT with a Snapdragon 888 and its Realme GT 2 Pro with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 for a price-to-performance like none other manufacturers. Therefore, the flagship smartphone market has been gradually focusing on photo and video quality for the past few years.

Xiaomi and Vivo were both praised for their top-of-the-industry camera performance with their Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra and Vivo X70 Pro Plus respectively.

In the comment, the insider mentioned that they were very fond of both smartphones for their industry-leading camera configuration. Both flagships will feature bigger sensors across all focal lengths, which means brighter photos and videos during low light whether you will be using the ultra-wide, normal, or telephoto lens to capture the scene.

Paired with the rumored upcoming collaborations with high-profile camera giants, such as Leica with Xiaomi, and Zeiss with Vivo, the camera algorithms and scene recognition software also receive a much-needed flare from the camera companies to ensure the user takes the shot just how they like it.

The insider also mentions that both phones also have the essentials of what makes a flagship as both the Xiaomi MIX 5 and Vivo NEX 5 will include fast charging support and long-lasting battery endurance to keep you doing what you love all day.

The insider further adds that both phones may be the best camera phones of 2022 and that he is considering using both the Xiaomi MIX 5 and Vivo NEX 5 as their daily driver in the year 2022.

No specific camera details or specifications of both phones were leaked but judging by the mention of both flagship model names, it may seem that Xiaomi and Vivo may release more info about the announcement of both flagships soon.

Vivo NEX 5 to come with a 5x telephoto lens, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, and a phablet-like screen

Pranav Sawant — Fri, 14 Jan 2022 19:44:01 +0000

Back in July 2021, a rumor revealed that Vivo may launch the Vivo NEX 5 in 2022. Well, we’re in 2022, and the tipster DigitalChatStation has already revealed the phone’s key highlights. The tipster sheds light on its cameras while pointing at its internal hardware.

The tipster reveals that the recently launched Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 powered phones have a lower zooming range in their telephoto lenses. The optical zooming capability of these lenses doesn’t go too far. However, with the upcoming Vivo NEX 5, things may change. The smartphone may have a 5x periscope lens, as per the tipster.

Having said that, the phone will indeed come powered by the latest 4nm Snapdragon 8 Gen chipset. The other hardware details are unknown at the moment. But coming back to cameras, previously, ZEISS was touted to be in partnership with Vivo for its upcoming phone cameras. Vivo’s NEX 5 could be the device where we may see the ZEISS branded lenses.

Moreover, reports suggest that the NEX 5 may come with a mammoth 7-inch display. It could be a curved panel with an under-display camera. It is worth noting that some of the past rumors claimed a 6.78-inch screen. Hence, we cannot conclude anything as of now.

In terms of other features, the smartphone may come with a 50W wireless fast charging support. But again, these specs aren’t confirmed, and we recommend our readers to take it with pinch of salt.

Upcoming vivo NEX could feature under-display camera, 60W wireless charging, and more

Sudarshan Ravichandran — Mon, 05 Apr 2021 13:12:29 +0000

Chinese smartphone makers have been lately leading in bringing innovations to the masses. For instance, vivo is known for introducing pop-up cameras and in-display fingerprint sensors. Both of these features first debuted on vivo APEX concept smartphones and later, debuted on vivo NEX series commercial phones. Now, over a year after the last NEX series handset, rumors of its successor have begun to pop up on the internet.

vivo NEX 3S 5G

The last-ever vivo NEX series smartphone called vivo NEX 3S 5G was launched in March 2020. It was basically the vivo NEX 3 5G and vivo NEX 3 from 2020 with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC, UFS 3.1, WiFi 6, and Bluetooth 5.1. In other words, it wasn’t that interesting.

But as per a Weibo user (@馬然熊猫), the upcoming vivo NEX series device, which could go official as vivo NEX 5 in H2 2021 will be impressive. It will not only sport all the ket specs of current-gen vivo flagships but will also include the most-awaited smartphone feature for the masses.

According to this person on the popular Chinese microblogging website, the next vivo NEX phone will come with an under-display camera. The in-screen camera will sit beneath the waterfall display supplied by LG Display.

Further, just like the vivo X60 series, the new vivo NEX will also flaunt Zeiss optics. Also, it will support the company’s 120W Super FlashCharge charging protocol and unannounced 60W wireless charging protocol. Last but not least, the upcoming vivo NEXT smartphone will be IP68-certified for dust and water resistance, as per the tipster.

Having said that, we urge you to consider this information with a pinch of salt. If this device indeed exists, then we expect to learn more about it in the coming days.
