2021 Winners and Losers: Realme

Realme had a strong year where we saw plenty of devices in all prices and categories. There were gaming handsets, capable upper mid-rangers with top-tier chipsets, and the usual legion of phone taking on the overly competitive midrange market. As the year is rounding to an end, we decided to look at Realme’s successes and failures, and with such a wide portfolio, it wasn’t hard to find plenty of products to put on both sides of the fence. Winner: Realme GT Neo2 This phone arrived late in the year but quickly managed to steal our hearts. It is, by far, the best "flagship killer" on...

iQOO 9 lineup's battery size and charging speed confirmed

vivo sub-brand iQOO yesterday announced it will introduce the iQOO 9 series on January 5 while also revealing the smartphone's design and a few specs. Today, the company took to Weibo to tell us more about the battery tech. iQOO says the iQOO 9 series will pack a 4,700 mAh battery and feature 120W wired and 50W wireless charging. However, only the Pro version will support wireless charging, which isn't a surprise since the iQOO 8 Pro also came with 50W wireless charging but the regular iQOO 8 didn't. iQOO also doesn't explicitly mention which variant will ship with a 4,700...

Samsung's stable updates to One UI 4 based on Android 12 for the Galaxy S21 family and the Galaxy Z Fold3 and Flip3 were halted last week due to a nasty issue with Google Play compatibility. Now, about five days later, the issues seem to have been sorted out through some collaboration with Google over the holidays, as the rollouts are finally restarted. There's a new build doing the rounds, and this is labeled G99xBXXS3BULC for the S21 models (where "x" is a number that varies according to which device you have).

Samsung Galaxy M33 5G runs Geekbench with Exynos 1200 SoC, has 6,000 mAh battery

Samsung's working on a successor to the Galaxy M32 from earlier this year, which will unsurprisingly be called Galaxy M33. A prototype of this model has been spotted in the Geekbench database today, where it showed up with the Exynos 1200 chipset at the helm. That's the same SoC that the Galaxy A53 5G was caught running the same benchmark with, and their scores are pretty similar too, unsurprisingly. It is in fact likely that the Galaxy M33 will be a rebranded A53, but with one major difference - a much larger battery. The Galaxy M33's cell has already been certified by SafetyKorea,...

Oppo certifies three phone designs with rear displays

Oppo finally received a patent for a phone with an under-display camera, and now the company secured the rights on three more designs. All of them have one thing in common: a rear display within the camera island. It is highly unlikely these solutions will be part of the Find X5 series, but we would love to see a revolution in the way we use smartphones, and hopefully, Oppo could lead it. A display on the back is nothing new - Meizu Pro 7 series brought a tall 2” Super AMOLED screen, while the Mi 11 Ultra reused a 1.1” Mi Band 5 panel. And let’s not forget the vivo NEX Dual Display...

Winners and losers: Xiaomi

It has been a productive year for Xiaomi – it launched over 50 devices and that is just counting the phones. It also did a bit of rebranding by dropping the ‘Mi’ from its premium devices – starting in the second half of this year, the company goes with just “Xiaomi” + model number, just as it has always done in China. The year isn’t over yet, the company plans to unveil one of the first phones with the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 – the Xiaomi 12 series – which will probably arrive with the stable MIUI 13 (a beta version is already undergoing tests).

Best phone speakers of 2021

What are the best-sounding smartphones to come out this year? Not the ones that are the loudest - that's settled by the numbers in our tests and we already covered it. No, we're talking about the phones that we can listen to with our own ears and truly like what we're hearing. And while some of the phones we've gathered here are objectively loud and that did help their cases, that's not what got them on this list in the first place.
