Top 10 trending phones of week 13

We thought week 12 was eventful, but it has nothing on the past seven days, which brought by far the most dramatic change to our trending chart ever. Only three members of last weeks' top 10 make it to the new edition with the highest placed being fifth. Huawei is by far the biggest winner, its newly announced P40 Pro and P40 Pro+ taking the top two spots. The final position on the rostrum goes to the surprising arrival that was the Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite 5G - the most affordable smartphone to support the next-gen networks in western markets yet. Fourth position goes to the Redmi Note 9S...

The new devices of the week

The smartphone world had an eventful week, with plenty of new phone being introduced - the P40 flagship family is finally official, Redmi revealed some rebranded smartphones and Xiaomi launched the Mi 10 lineup outside China. The week began with the ZTE Axon 11 5G - although it is a follow-up of the flagship Axon 10 flagship family, this one actually runs on Snapdragon 765G, so it doesn't qualify for the overall top tier of smartphones. It still looks intriguing and is likely to appear elsewhere in the upcoming months, just like its predecessor did the same time 12 months ago. ...
