We are not the news, but there are news from us or from China on a regular basis. Be it a new smartphone announcement, news about a legal dispute or Xiaomi’s expansion plans in Europe. There is a lot to report from the Far East. But also internal news from the CG editorial staff we want to deliver to you regularly. For example if there are new features on our site or we experience a trip to China or the next fair. We want you to be a part of it as well!
Like every year, a new offshoot of the Mi Band series awaits us in 2022. The first (possible) details about Xiaomi’s Mi Band 7 have now surfaced. These include an enlarged screen and battery, an always-on display, a smart alarm clock, and possibly even GPS.
After Samsung presented two new foldables at the Unpacked event, Xiaomi is not letting itself down and is also presenting a new foldable smartphone. The Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 is not only the second foldable from the manufacturer, but also the thinnest smartphone in the world.
OnePlus has been struggling with a loss of identity at least since the departure of founder Carl Pei to Nothing. The OnePlus 10 Pro showed this most strongly. Sure, not a bad smartphone, but somehow little progress compared to its predecessors. The company now wants to make up for this with the OnePlus 10T, which will be unveiled on 3 August.
If you’ve ever been to a Xiaomi store or happened to walk around at a Xiaomi launch event, you might have spotted it. The Xiaomi Smart Blender is not new, but has only just been introduced globally. What is not visible from the outside: the Xiaomi Smart Blender even has a heating function!
After the Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra, Roborock brings us another S7 model. The Roborock S7 Pro Ultra is a Roborock S7 with increased suction power to 5100 pa and comes with the Ultra suction station from the S7 MaxV. So how does it fit into the product portfolio?
“Master of Speed”, “The Performance Monster” and “The Epitome of Power” – the names for the past POCO smartphones are brimming with superlatives. Now they release the much-anticipated POCO F4, the cheaper alternative to the recently released POCO F4 GT, under the slogan “Strong in every respect”. But looking at the spec sheet, one wonders: “Strong in what respect?”
Vivo presented their new flagship smartphone, the vivo X80 Pro, globally with a big launch event in Berlin. The Zeiss cooperation is again at the start, but also a large fingerprint scanner for two fingers. The breakthrough for vivo?
What a back and forth! The Xiaomi 12 Ultra supplies the rumor mill with new ingredients like no other device. At the latest since the announcement of the cooperation between Leica and Xiaomi, there have been new speculations, and now also first render pictures. The back alone is likely to outshine the Mi 11 Ultra.
With the Huawei FreeBuds 5i, the popular wireless in-ear headphones that we often recommend for making calls get a successor. Initially, the new in-ears will only be available on the Chinese market, but let’s take a look at what’s potentially in store for us.
A branding from Leica was like a stamp for a good camera for Huawei, which was also proven with the “photo wonder” Huawei P30. Now this partnership has come to an end, but the next cooperation already follows. Xiaomi and Leica Camera announce a partnership that is supposed to result in the first flagship smartphone as early as July.
After establishing a completely new model series with the X1 series, another successor is introduced with the ECOVACS Deebot T10. Three versions want to convince with different features. Is there even room for another T-model among the many models?
As smartphones became bigger and bigger, the need for tablets decreased. In recent years, only the iPad has proven that tablets are still relevant, now more relevant than ever. Realme has also recognized this and released the realme Pad at the beginning of the year. Like Apple, only a smaller version follows: the realme Pad Mini. But for whom?
POCO – the four letters stand for either affordable furniture or very good value for money. The fourth generation of the F series culminates in the strongest POCO smartphone to date: the POCO F4 GT. The “epitome of power” is a gaming smartphone – or is it?
OnePlus has already expanded its portfolio considerably, but an R model has not yet “officially” made it to Europe. Will that change with the OnePlus 10R? And what does it offer besides ultra-fast 150W charging?
Pro Plus as a name is not that new, unfortunately, Huawei got us into this back then. For the Redmi Note 11 Pro+, this means that it is even slightly better than the Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G. The sixth (!) phone in the Redmi Note series can even be charged with 120W!
After Xiaomi recently unveiled its new flagship generation in Germany, the subsidiary brand now introduces its new flagship generation in China. The gaming edition of the Redmi K50 is now followed by the regular Redmi K50 and Redmi K50 Pro. Once again, the benchmark for battery capacity is set high, but interesting processors are also chosen.
We have just published the review of the Xiaomi FlipBuds Pro, and Xiaomi already launches the next ANC in-ear.
The DOCKCASE USB-C Hub was the smartest and theoretically best USB-C Hub we have come across so far. The manufacturer is now expanding its portfolio with the DOCKCASE Smart SSD hard drive enclosure, which is supposed to protect against data loss thanks to some cool features.
Dreame has released the new version of its mop vacuum cleaner in its home market. There are innovations in the Dreame H12 at the wiping head, which is now open on one side. But drying via hot air is now also possible. A sensible new model?
With what speed Dreame develops Vaccum Cleaner is really amazing. In China, they have now released the Dreame W10 Pro, which adds object recognition to the previous model. Is it worth the wait?
