Redmi 9 listed on Xiaomi's official site as launch nears

The Redmi 9 just popped up on Xiaomi's global RF certification page, confirming that the phone exists and its model number - M2004J19G. This number was also spotted in a batch of devices that were recently certified by the 3C. These certifications don't reveal much. A related model, the M2004J19C, is listed at the 3C with a 10W charger, though that would be a weird downgrade - both the Redmi 8 and the cheaper 8A support 18W charging. Anyway, these will be 4G phones, which probably comes as no surprise. Previous leaks showed a photo of the quad camera on the back of the phone, which...

A few days ago China sent a survey team to study Mt. Everest, today they reached the Advanced Base Camp at 6,500m (21,300ft).

One of these was the Honor X10 5G, which hasn't been officially announced yet (so these are the first official camera samples from the phone). The five shots have 10MP resolution, since pixel binning was used - the X10 will feature a custom Sony IMX600ysensor with 40MP raw...

CEO shares Realme X3 SuperZoom photo, confirms 60x zoom

CEO Madhav Sheth officially confirmed that the Realme X3 SuperZoom is coming - and that it will have a 60x zoom camera. He shared a photo of the Milky Way taken with the phone's Starry Mode and challenges you to try and get a better shot with your current phone. So, this is clearly a periscope camera that we're talking about, likely with 6x optical zoom. Of course, the 60x magnification is achieved with digital processing, but astro-photography relies on a lot of computational skills anyway (astronomers have been doing image stacking for years before phones started doing it).

Android 10 rolling out to Xperia 10 and 10 Plus

Sony's Xperia 10 and 10 Plus were the midrange counterparts to last year's flagship Xperia 1.
