Infinix Note 10 Pro appears in a leaked render with punch hole screen

The Infinix Note 10 Pro was spotted on Geekbench in February with the Helio G90T SoC, 8GB RAM, and Android 11. Now the smartphone has popped up on Google Play Console with the same Android version and RAM amount, but with a different chip - Helio G90. We've also heard rumors of the G95, so it's unclear what exactly will power the Infinix Note 10 Pro. That said, the Google Play Console tells us that the Note 10 Pro will pack a FullHD+ screen, which a leaked render revealed will have a punch hole in the center for the selfie camera. A schematic of the Infinix Note 10 Pro further...

vivo V21 SE listed on Google Play Console, revealing some specs

The vivo V21 family is still shrouded in quite a bit of mystery. The only real solid bit of info we have thus far is an April 27 unveiling event in Malaysia for the regular V21 and the V21e. Beyond that, various sources have also suggested the existence on a V21 Pro, which may or may not be similar or even the same as the V21 5G, recently certified in Indonesia. Last, but not least, there is the V21 SE, officially going by its V2061 model number in a new device listing in the Google Play Console. The name and model were cross-referenced and matched using the Indian IMEI database, which is...

NFC certification for LG's Rollable phone surfaces online

Before anyone gets unnecessarily excited - NO, LG hasn't gone back on its decision to leave the smartphone business. At least not officially, that is. This is just another case of unfortunate timing surrounding the rollable phone that the company teased at CES 2021. Apparently the LM-R910N, as its official designation goes, was pretty far along in the development cycle. Enough for LG to start filing for various certifications for it to go to market. The NFC certification, as seen here, is dated January 5, at which point the Rollable or LM-R910VM, mentioned in the document in particular, was...

The trio can be had in both a vanilla 4G variety, as well as trendy and reasonably-priced 5G variant.

So it was pretty clear that a full unveiling was going to happen sooner, rather than later. That's been confirmed today, by vivo Malaysia's official Twitter account. The V21 will be made official on April 27 in the country, alongside a V21e. We were always expecting the V21 to be a family of devices and not just one phone, and this pretty much confirms that.

Initial reports claimed that Samsung’s first dual foldable will arrive this year. However, GizmoChina and leakster Yogesh contradict this info, saying that the actual launch will take place in the first three months of 2022. The more interesting bit of this leak is that the device in question will be Samsung’s first foldable tablet – Galaxy Z Fold Tab. Devices like the Galaxy Z Fold2 already blur the line with tablets with its 7.6” display, but the Tab will be even bigger. It makes sense that a triple foldable will be a tablet.
