Xiaomi is preparing 12 new smartphones, including those on unrepresented Dimensity 8000 and Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 platforms
Xiaomi kicked off this year with a strong launch of the flagship Xiaomi 12, Xiaomi 12 Pro and Xiaomi 12X in the domestic market, as well as several new products in other markets. The next premieres are expected on January 26, when the global Redmi Note 11 will officially debut, but that’s not all. A Chinese insider, known on Weibo as Digital Chat Station, has published a list of 12 code names for promising Xiaomi and Redmi smartphones, which are expected to premiere in the coming months.
The first four – munch, rubens, matisse and fog – belong to the Redmi K50 series smartphones. There will be four models in this line – K50 Gaming, K50, K50 Pro and K50 Pro+. The following SoCs are assigned to them, respectively: Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, Snapdragon 870, Dimensity 8000 and Dimensity 9000.
The next two models – thor and loki – are top devices that will be one step higher than Xiaomi 12. According to various rumors, these will either be models of the Xiaomi 12U line or Mix 5. Of course, they will be built on Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and will receive better cameras than Xiaomi 12 Pro.
The remaining six devices – light, thunder, zizhan, zijin, taoyao and opal – are Xiaomi’s future novelties with folding screens (Mix Flip and Mix Fold 2), as well as representatives of the mid-range Redmi Note 12 series. Recall that Redmi Note 11 debuted in China in October, so it’s not surprising that Xiaomi is already preparing Redmi Note 12. Redmi Note 12 is expected to use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 mid-range SoC.

There is almost no such thing in any smartphone with a price of up to $500. Vivo S17 Pro got a TV camera

Vivo has introduced a mid-range smartphone S17 Pro, which stands out from the background of most similar devices and even many more expensive ones with the presence of a camera.
Here it’s a 12-megapixel Sony IMX663 sensor with only 2x zoom, but it’s better than nothing. Now even many base models of flagships are completely devoid of a camera, and here we are talking about a phone with a price of $435.
The main camera here relies on a 50-megapixel Sony IMX766V sensor, and there is also an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera. The smartphone is also equipped with a large 120Hz 6.78-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 2800 x 1260 pixels and a brightness of up to 1300 cd/m2 and PWM with a frequency of 2160 Hz.
The heart is the pre-top SoC Dimensity 8200, there are also 8 or 12 GB of RAM and 256 or 512 GB of flash memory. Of the rest, a 4600 mAh battery with 80-watt charging, Bluetooth 5.3, Wi-Fi 6 and a thickness of 7.46 mm with a weight of 188 g can be noted.

All the main parameters of the Realme C53 smartphone have appeared on the Web, which is very similar to the back of the iPhone Pro.

The iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max will grow, and the iPhone 17 and 17 Plus will finally get 120Hz screens. This is a reliable source

iPhone Pro smartphones in the next year’s lineup will grow strongly, and the younger iPhone 17 will finally get 120Hz screens.
Ross Young, an industry analyst and founder of research companies Display Supply Chain Consultants and DisplaySearch, confirmed his own data that the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max will be larger than their predecessors. The former will receive a 6.27-inch display, while the latter will have a 6.86-inch panel. Probably Apple will refer to them as 6.3 and 6.9 inches respectively.
The screens will be 120Hz and still have the same Dynamic Island cutout. The iPhone 16 and 16 Plus models will retain the size of their predecessors and 60Hz screens.
In the iPhone 17 line, older models will receive the same panels as the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max, but instead of the Dynamic Island cutout, they will only have a cutout for the front camera, and the Face ID module will be placed completely under the screen. But the iPhone 17 and 17 Plus models will retain Dynamic Island, but will finally get 120-Hz panels.
Through his work, Young has access to information related to the screens, so he often knows more than ordinary insiders. In particular, he talked about 120 Hz screens in the iPhone 12 Pro and 60 Hz screens in the younger devices of the line.
