Realme's Dizo teases its first mobile phone

Realme's AIoT sub-brand Dizo introduced a couple of wireless earphones last week, and the company is already teasing its next product, which isn't an AIoT device but a mobile phone.

The phone isn't clearly visible, but a bit of editing reveals it is a feature phone with a circular island on the rear housing a camera and flash. Premium design coupled with the best features is just what you need to #BeDifferent. Get the complete package, soon.

Amazfit GTS 2 Review

Huami launched two smartwatches under Amazfit's GT series last year - GTR 2 and GTS 2. We already reviewed the GTR 2 and were impressed with its design, OLED screen, smooth UI, and battery life that's longer than any smartwatch with a real OS. Today we have the GTS 2 with us, which is largely identical to the GTR 2 in terms of internals, but comes with a different design. So which one should you get? I used the Amazfit GTS 2 for a few weeks to find that out. Amazfit GTS 2 specifications Display: 1.65", 348x442 pixel AMOLED color screen, 341 ppi pixel density, 3D Glass ...

Xiaomi's impressive 200W fast charging might actually become reality

Remember Xiaomi's impressive charging "flex" back from the announcement of the Mi 11 line in May? Xiaomi showcased a Mi 11 Pro charging at a reported 200W and going from 0 to 100% in just 15 minutes. We won't be getting into the debate of whether this sort of charging speed is useful or past the point of diminishing returns. Instead, we'll focus on the fact that it was undoubtedly a great PR stunt, with Xiaomi even claiming to have broken a few world records in the process. Xiaomi called the tech Xiaomi HyperCharge and it didn't take long for some additional details surrounding the whole...

New ZTE phone with 55W charging certified by 3C - likely the Axon 30

Last year ZTE managed to make quite the splash on the mobile scene with the Axon 20 - the first commercially-available phone with an under-display camera. Said camera wasn't particularly mind-blowing, though and did leave a lot to be desired in terms of photo quality as well as display quality for the portion covering the snapper. So, unsurprisingly, the industry quickly moved on. Seemingly, so did ZTE, releasing both the Axon 30 Pro and Axon 30 Ultra with normal punch hole selfie cams. At least that's what we though until rumors started coming in of another Axon in the works with an...

This is likely the setup on the Huawei JAD-AL50, which was spotted on the Chinese 3C Certification authority's website. It is probably the vanilla...
