Weekly poll results: the Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro is the favorite child, Mi 10T Lite has potential too

Last week’s poll shows that the Mi 10T trio may as well consist of just a single phone – the Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro. The 108MP camera with OIS is the linchpin of the Pro as it is essentially the only difference between it and the vanilla Mi 10T. And the Xiaomi Mi 10T rated poorly, very poorly indeed, ending up on the bottom of the first poll with just under 15% of the votes. To put that into perspective, the Poco F2 Pro scored nearly 20%. And it’s not like the 10T has some rickety camera, the 64MP sensor should be quite capable, even after losing OIS and getting saddled with a darker...

Huawei Mate 40 Pro+ retail box surfaces, case renders too

The Huawei Mate 40 series announcement is scheduled for October 22 - that's next week, and details remain weirdly scarce. So far we know the phones will be powered by an in-house Kirin 9000 SoC that may have an integrated 5G modem, a chip that Huawei doesn't seem to have all that many units of. 66W charging is in the works too, and a competent camera system goes without saying, arranged in an unusually shaped cluster on at least one of the models. Upcoming Huawei Mate40 Pro+ in third-party cases It's that camera setup that we're seeing today in more detail, courtesy of a set...
