HTC Wildfire E probably exists: 5.45-inch LCD, Unisoc chipset and 2GB of RAM in it

HTC's future can't be too bright even though a recent financial report did bring some good news. The company is still working on new smartphones however, as evidenced by a report out of Russia. A retailer in the country has information on what is called the HTC Wildfire E, a throwback to the Wildfire S of 2011. The yet unannounced model supposedly has a 5.45-inch IPS display with an HD+ resolution in an 18:9 ratio.

Samsung Galaxy Note10 and 10+ renders galore, also a pink Watch Active2

The Samsung Galaxy Note10 is due to be announced on August 7 in two flavors - regular and plus. We've had a look at both previously, but we now have a few more renders in what are likely going to be the two paintjobs available at launch. Galaxy Note10+ renders These renders bring little new information - we already knew that the Bixby button is a goner and for whatever reason the power button has been moved to the left in its place. And while an earlier third-party CAD-based render gave us a glimpse of the bottom of the Note10+, we're still not getting one of these...

That ties nicely with today's report that Samsung is already testing the Galaxy Fold in the wild. Someone caught a unit being used on the New Delhi metro system, presumably by a Samsung employee. It could be nothing more than a Samsung employee going against regulation but it could also prove to be public testing to see if the structural integrity of the Galaxy Fold will hold up to daily use.

Xiaomi has kicked off the Mi A3 teaser campaign with a little something about the price.

There are two cameras on there (regular + tele), along with a 3D ToF sensor. The front is more interesting, as Google has returned to the classic top bezel (even on the Pixel 4 XL).
