Oppo executive reveals first render of company smartwatch

Oppo held its Inno Day back in December, where it teased its upcoming smartwatch and true wireless headphones. Now, a Vice President at Oppo shared the first image of the Oppo smartwatch - it will have a square screen with curved edges and two buttons on the side. It bears a strong resemblance to the Apple Watch, but unlike Cupertino's wearable that has one crown and one button, the Oppo smartwach has two keys, with a hole in between them. We think this might be a microphone, meaning you can talk on your Oppo smartwatch without needing the smartphone. The big question remains...

Leaked Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro specs suggest 16 GB RAM

Xiaomi is about to launch the Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro and we've been seeing multiple leaks for the past few weeks. The latest one comes from China, of course, and it is a screenshot of the About page of the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro. The image suggests the phone will have 16 GB RAM and 512 gigs of storage, along with other impressive specs. We haven't seen a smartphone with 16 GB RAM yet, and there are just a handful of devices on the market that have 12 GB, so we are either looking at a revolution or a fake image. Looking at the image, some of the stuff isn't that surprising - Snapdragon 865...

Nokia 9.2 might have under-display camera

This means it will only be out sometime during the fall, which gives the company plenty of time to switch to the Snapdragon 865 chipset, which all of its competitors will be using anyway. This delay may also give HMD enough time to pull a first in the mobile world: an under-display selfie camera. Apparently this is now in testing for the Nokia 9.2, according to a source that's been reliable at times in the...

Moto G Stylus is what Motorola is calling that recently leaked stylus-carrying phone

Motorola's G series is its most successful ever, and over the past few years has been what's kept the manufacturer going. While the company is expected to soon reveal its first true flagship smartphone in years, the Edge+, it's also getting ready to expand the G family even more. Remember that recently leaked stylus-toting Motorola device? Because its official-looking render leaked so soon after the first ever mention of the Edge+, some people assumed it was that, but it's not (and this should have been made obvious by its huge bottom bezel, unworthy of a true high-end device in this day...
