Sometime last week, it was rumoured that the next Reno series of smartphones from OPPO will feature chipsets from both Qualcomm and MediaTek. This rumour may have just been confirmed in the latest leak, which shows that there are two different variants of the OPPO Reno5 Pro 5G.

While it may not have the star power of its glory days, some Nokia smartphones aren't all that bad. However, we didn't think it would launch new ones these soon. The company launched its lower mid-range Nokia 5.3 earlier this year, but sources claim that the Nokia 5.4 is already on the way.

It honestly hasn't been all that long since Samsung launched the Galaxy Buds Live, but it looks like a new true wireless stereo (TWS) earbud model is already on its way. Originally rumoured to have the name Galaxy Buds Beyond, a new source now shows a different name - Galaxy Buds Pro.

In conjunction with Cyber Monday which is happening on 30 November 2020, Shopee will be having a bunch of promos where you can major discounts on selected products. In terms of brands that are participating, you can expect deals from brands such as OnePlus, Riino, Khind, Jaben, Mistral, as well as Sonicgear, where they will be offering anywhere between kitchen appliances to smartphones such as the OnePlus Nord.

Based on a statement by Twitter user @Sudhandshu1414, it seems that the global variant of the Redmi 9T will most likely be a rebadged Redmi Note 9 4G that’s exclusively available in China. While not much is known in regards to the release date and local pricing of the global variant, this does give us a better idea on what to expect when the smartphone is unveiled here.

Samsung has recently posted an Exynos 1080 5G chipset teaser video on YouTube, giving us a rundown on what the chipset is capable of, as well as what kind of performance to expect from future Samsung smartphones. While not much is officially known in regards to which smartphone will come with the aforementioned chipset, we have good reason to believe that the next generation Samsung Galaxy S21 series will come equipped with it.

It seems that the OPPO A15s has been spotted on SIRIM, hinting that the smartphone could be launched in Malaysia within a few weeks. While not much is known in regards to the exact release date and local pricing, we do know that it will most likely be priced less than RM1000.

When people evaluate a smartphone these days, benchmarking is often one of the first things they do. While benchmarks don't necessarily tell the full story, it can help us gauge some aspects of a device's performance. In that sense, knowing how well the Snapdragon 775 and 875 chipsets can perform is useful.
