Weekly poll: Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G, Redmi Note 11S 5G and Redmi 10 5G vie for your attention

Xiaomi launched three new phones earlier this week. Well, it was more of a re-launch, really, since all three already existed in Xiaomi’s line-up in some form. Still, expanding availability means they are new to a lot of people. But are those people interested? Let’s find out. The Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G is the same phone that launched in China and that sells under the name 11i HyperCharge 5G in India. As you can tell from the name, it supports fast charging (120W, 100% in 15 minutes for its 4,500mAh battery). It also has a 6.67” 120Hz AMOLED display, a Dimensity 920 chipset and a 108MP main...

Weekly poll results: Realme GT Neo3 showered with love

Realme has nailed it – the Realme GT Neo3 was showered with love in last week’s poll, where 80% of the votes were in its favor. We rarely see a phone be favored so strongly. Its predecessor, the GT Neo2, actually got a slightly negative result at the polls. The Neo3 appears to be a success in its home market already, after selling 100,000+ units on launch day. It’s not clear which of the two versions – 4,500 mAh battery/150W charging or 5,000 mAh battery/80W charging – was more popular. The 80W one is certainly cheaper (CNY 2,000 vs. CNY 2,700). Price is something that will...

Android 13 may allow two carrier connections on one eSIM

According to Esper, Google is working on an Android 13 feature that would potentially be a game-changer for people using two SIM cards on a single phone. And maybe leave some extra room for smartphone manufacturers to utilize too. Through a feature called Multiple Enabled Profiles (MEP), the search giant wants to assign two carrier profiles to a single eSIM and easily switch between networks. Google is reportedly basing the new feature on a patent filed in 2020, which describes a splitting of the existing SIM interface into two digital connections. There have been reports in the past that...
