Some thought that other makers will rush to make dual screen phones ahead of Surface Duo's far-away launch late next year - but that's hardly a concern as Android-powered dual-screen phones predate the Duo by years.

Xiaomi patents a corner selfie camera design

The full-screen front design has become pretty common lately although, most of the full-screen implementations are on high-end to mid-range devices. So what about the low-end? It appears that Xiaomi has a pretty nifty solution in the works as per the latest patent. The listing reveals a smartphone design with a front-facing camera crammed up in the upper corner of front panel. At first, the cutout seems smaller than the current punch-hole implementations and some of the pictures even suggest that cutout isn't even necessary. It may seem a bit strange at first but come to think...

OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition hands-on

We can almost say it has become a tradition for OnePlus to launch a limited edition variant of its T-series smartphones as last year we got a OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition and now we are getting the OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition. Boy, that's a mouthful. Since OnePlus emphasizes on speed - snappy software, super fast charging, etc., it's only natural for the company to team up once again with McLaren to design its phone. But while last year's 6T skin was more simplistic in a way and embodied the older design of McLaren P1, the 7T Pro McLaren borrows its looks from the brand new McLaren...
