Huawei Mate 30 RS Porsche Design also incoming

Huawei is releasing its Mate 30 series later this week. We expect at least the Huawei Mate 30 and the Mate 30 Pro to be announced, but there is a third phone in tow - Huawei Mate 30 RS Porsche Design. The device's arrival was announced by Richard Yu, CEO at Huawei and we expect it to be quite different than its regular siblings. The short eight-second clip suggests we should expect a back panel with vertical design elements. We also see a thin cutout, meaning the camera lineup on the back is likely to be in a different shape than the expected circular setup. It is not unusual for...

Oppo Reno Ace arriving on October 10

Oppo introduced three Reno2 smartphones in late August, but none of them were a true flagship specs-wise. At the end of the event the company VP Brian Shen actually revealed a new phone is incoming, called Reno Ace. Today, the Weibo account of the phone maker confirmed the device, revealing its launch date - October 10. Img The Oppo Reno Ace will have 65W fast-charging capabilities, which is 30% more than the current 50W SuperVOOC. This should mean a new name of the standard, something equally spectacular like MegaVOOC, although a simple SuperVOOC 2.0 would also do the job. Other...

Sony Xperia 5 in for review

Long live the Xperia Compact family! It appears that Sony heard our prayers and decided to release another compact flagship even if the new member to the family doesn't have "Compact" in its name. While the new naming scheme might not immediately give it away the Xperia 5 is actually a minimized Xperia 1. It's rocking the same high-end hardware and design. The resolution has been downgraded to 1080p and the battery capacity has been reduced slightly, but considering the smaller screen size we are actually expecting better battery life. Xperia 5 (on the left) and Xperia 1 (on the...

An iPhone launch is just one of those things that you really, really can't miss. Even if you are actually living under that proverbial rock that always gets brought up.
