A few days ago, Redmi officially unveiled the Note 12 line of phones, as well as smartwatches in Europe, as well as the Redmi Watch 3 smartwatch in Europe, and now it has come to the ultra-budget Redmi A2 and Redmi A2+. However, if a lot of attention was paid to other new products (at least they were talked about on the official Xiaomi Europe Twitter), then Redmi A2 and Redmi A2 + were simply added to the catalog on the official Mi.com website.

The characteristics of these models are the same, except that the older version has a fingerprint scanner – it is located in the center of the back panel.

The IPS screen is characterized by a diagonal of 6.52 inches and a resolution of 1600 x 720 pixels. The hardware platform is SoC MediaTek Helio G36, it is supplemented with 2-3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of flash memory. The front camera is 5 megapixel, the main one is 8 megapixel sensor. The battery capacity was 5000 mAh, it supports 10 W charging (and the corresponding power supply is included in the package).

Dimensions are 164.9 x 76.8 x 9.1 mm, weight – 192 grams. There is no NFC in these models, but there are standard headphone jacks.

Redmi has not announced the price of new products, but they are replacing Redmi A1 and Redmi A1 +, which were the most affordable smartphones from the manufacturer. Accordingly, now the title of the most affordable will go to Redmi A2 and Redmi A2 +.

It is quite possible that a compact smartphone from the founder of Pebble will appear on the market in the foreseeable future.

Eric Migicovsky, who founded the acclaimed Pebble, is literally now gathering a new team to release a compact smartphone with Andorid. In fact, at the moment there is no company that will eventually be created for these purposes. Now the Small Android Phone team is only discussing options, but even now the participants are trying to decide on the characteristics.

The team now includes several former Pebble employees, including the founder, GoPro designer, MongoBD manager, and other enthusiasts. Interestingly, it all started, in fact, simply with the cry of Migikowski on the Web for someone to make a good compact smartphone. But, as we know, even the iPhone mini sold very mediocrely.

However, perhaps they were too small. The Small Android Phone team has not yet finalized the dimensions, but has repeatedly mentioned, firstly, that the screen should be less than 6.1 inches diagonally, and secondly, the participants often mentioned ZenFone 9 with a 5-screen diagonal as a reference point. 9 inches.

The team’s designer even already has a number of sketches, although it’s hard to say what the smartphone will be like in the end. But the team definitely focuses on good photo opportunities as well. In addition, apparently, the emphasis will be placed on the materials of the case, along with the tactile sensations of users.

In terms of performance, the smartphone will definitely be very powerful, but not necessarily one of the best. The team is currently looking at two platforms: the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 and a mid-range Qualcomm chip that has yet to be released. Although, perhaps, this meant the new SoC Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 2, which was just announced the other day, but has not yet hit the market. By the way, such a selection of platforms hints that the smartphone will not be released sometime in a few years, but relatively soon. Perhaps in a year and a half.

There is a guideline for the price: about $ 850.

As expected, Oppo’s Find X6 and Find X6 Pro flagship smartphones launched today have become instant hits in China.

The published official Oppo posters confirm that the Oppo Find X6 and Find X6 Pro have become the best-selling Android devices on the popular Jingdong and Tmall platforms. As usual, the manufacturer does not provide any specific sales figures.

Recall that the flagship Oppo Find X6 Pro is offered at a price of $870 for the version with 12/256 GB of memory up to $1020 for the version with 16/512 GB. The basic version (no Pro in the name) costs $655-$730.

Oppo Find X6 Pro with its camera system will claim the title of the best DxOMark camera phone, but the review has not yet been published.
