Sony is reportedly working on its first 100MP sensor for phones

Sony is yet to release a 100+ megapixel sensor designed for smartphones, but one is reportedly on the way.

Oppo Reno8 Pro+ is likely to launch internationally rebranded as Reno8 Pro

Last month Oppo announced its latest Reno family of mid-range smartphones for the Chinese market - the Reno8, Reno8 Pro, and Reno8 Pro+. In case you're wondering why we haven't reviewed any of them yet, that's because they're meant for the Chinese market.
