News & Reviews:   Flagship

amsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, the South Korean tech giant’s most recent flagship smartphone has been making waves for its impressive specs list and sleek modern design that’s befitting of its ‘Ultra’ name.

In fact, the latest and greatest Samsung smartphone has proven to be ultra durable too, even surviving JerryRigEverything’s famous ‘durability test’ that has practically destroyed dozens of phones before!

Good news for users of older Samsung smartphones! The Korean tech giant has announced that a photo editing feature made exclusive for the new flagships is now available for older devices. Object Eraser, the feature's name, allows users to erase unwanted objects, shadows, and reflections from a photograph.

realme has decided to expand its premium smartphone catalog next year. The company announced that it would make more premium flagship models that cost more than 5,000 Yuan (~RM3,242).

The 3D ToF sensor was something that can only be seen on Samsung's highest flagship offerings like the Galaxy S10 5G and Galaxy S20 Ultra. However, the company has later decided to replace it with a Laser AF system for the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. Since then, the 3D ToF sensor can no longer be found on the latest Samsung devices. Today, it is reported that we will not be getting the sensor with the upcoming Galaxy S22 series as well. 

Other than launching the Mi 11 Pro and Mi 11 Ultra on 29 March, a new teaser has appeared hinting at something that the fans have been waiting for a long time. Today, Xiaomi has posted a teaser poster with the text "MIX COMING BACK" to signal that the Xiaomi Mi Mix is finally making a comeback.

Just yesterday, we've seen the news which reported that HONOR is prepared to come back with several devices later this year. It is suggested that the brand is bringing the global variant of V40, Magic 3, and Magic X. Today, the news has been confirmed by the CEO Zhao Ming and he said that the upcoming Magic series will also surpass HUAWEI's Mate and P series.

According to sources, HONOR might be launching a flagship device in July and it could be the Magic series. The device might perhaps also feature a Snapdragon 888 chipset.

Based on a statement by gizmochina, it seems that Samsung might be keen on releasing up to 3 new Exynos chipsets in the year 2021. The 3 new chipsets will include the 800-series, 1200-series, as well as 2200-series chips which will most likely be available on mid-range smartphones, high-end smartphones, as well as flagship smartphones respectively.

Earlier, the Geekbench test of the Intel Rocket Lake was leaked showing a record-breaking single-core result. With that said, it looks like that the upcoming CPU is something that other CPU makers like AMD should fear (hope so...). Now, it is rumoured that the next-gen Intel CPU will be arriving on 15 March.

Other than the numerous smartphones that OnePlus released in the past few months, OnePlus seems to have unveiled their very own backpack called the OnePlus Urban Traveller, which is expected to go on sale starting 8 January 2021. While not much is known in regards to the Malaysia release date, we do know that it is capable of holding up to a 16-inch laptop and it is also water-resistant up to an extent.
