What are the best smartphones on the Chinese market? Which phones can do it bigger, better, faster – and cheaper? Those are only a few of the questions we’d like to get behind in this category. Ranging from Xiaomi to Leagoo, Doogee, OnePlus and others: If it’s from China and able to make phone calls, we want to write about it!
Doogee, Doogee, Doogee. The manufacturer has not been heard from for quite some time, but it used to attract attention with modular outdoor phones. The new Doogee V20 outdoor smartphone now surprises with a second screen, AMOLED display and wireless charging. Finally again!
Trustworthy and detailed leaks about the upcoming OnePlus flagship – the OnePlus 10 Pro. Supposed specs include an increased battery to 5,000 mAh, a triple camera, the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip (previously known as SD 998), and possibly 120 watts of charging.
The Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro is located between the Xiaomi Mi 11 and the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, at least in China. It uses the same design, but a revised camera system.
The Xiaomi 12 is supposed to be the new flagship of the now second-largest smartphone manufacturer worldwide. Like the Mix 4 and Xiaomi Pad 5, not only the “Mi” in the name is dropped, but apparently everything will revolve around the 12 in the name. What can we expect from the flagship and what leaks are there already? We give the Xiaomi 12 a fact check!
After the realme GT, the currently fastest growing smartphone manufacturer has introduced the realme GT Master and Explorer Edition, which we could already test. “Unfortunately, only the cheaper realme GT Master Edition is officially released in Germany. Is it really something for masters?
The Redmi Note 11 will be unveiled in China as early as next Thursday. After the Redmi Note 10 series produced four models in this country alone, there will be three different versions of the Redmi Note 11 right at the launch, according to leaks. However, there are not only leaks, but also some official pictures that Redmi itself published on Weibo.
With the Xiaomi Mi 9T and Mi 9T Pro, Xiaomi introduced the T-series in 2019 as an answer to OnePlus. What the series stands for is hard to discern. In this series, the focus of the Xiaomi 11T series shifts to charging. Finally, the Xiaomi 11T Pro is the first globally available smartphone with 120W charging!
ZTE launched the Axon 20 5G, the first smartphone with an under-display camera, in 2020. The ZTE Axon 30 5G will be released on September 9: currently the most affordable phone with an under-display camera of the new generation.
After we have already presented outdoor smartphones from well-known manufacturers like Ulefone and Oukitel, a new manufacturer now appears on the market. This new manufacturer with the name iiiF150 seems to have specialized in the budget segment. Let’s see what the iiiF150 R2022 has to offer!
With the realme GT, the currently fastest growing smartphone manufacturer has currently released a particularly affordable Snapdragon 888 smartphone. Now the series is extended with the realme GT Master and the realme GT (Master) Explorer Edition. The design is reminiscent of a suitcase!
The Ulefone Power Armor 13 offers the typical outdoor features as well as a 13200 mAh battery. Thus, the manufacturer combines two of its popular brands in one device. Whether Ulefone has presented a suitable successor with this outdoor smartphone?
Even as a sub-brand of Xiaomi, POCO manages to position itself broadly. After POCO X3 NFC and POCO X3 Pro comes the third X3 smartphone. The POCO X3 GT focuses on a new design, faster charging and a processor that is new for POCO!
Hardly any phone has caused more speculation in the past few years (!) than the Xiaomi Mi Mix 4. There were many rumors, but now the time has finally come: Xiaomi officially unveiled the Mi Mix 4 in China on August 10! Did they create a unique smartphone once again?
The OnePlus Nord 2 5G wants to repeat the success of the predecessor and is again priced at ₤399. This time, the focus is on the main camera, which comes from the flagship OnePlus 9 Pro. Thus, the following question has to be answered: Where did the OnePlus Nord 2 save money and were the right compromises made?
Realme is the fastest growing smartphone manufacturer at the moment, but not even every smartphone is available everywhere. The Narzo series was previously only available in India, but now the Realme Narzo 30 5G is also available on the global market.
POCO is expanding. After recently introducing the POCO X3 Pro and POCO F3, the Xiaomi subsidiary is now back in the budget segment. The POCO M3 Pro 5G NFC not only plays name bingo, but also looks somewhat familiar.
During the mega launch event, Xiaomi surprised us by launching a new smartphone series, at least for Europe. The Xiaomi Mi 11i is positioned as the first i-smartphone somehow between the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite and the Xiaomi Mi 11.
We were already expecting it, especially since the Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite and Mi 10 Lite 5G were two of the community favorites in recent years. Fortunately, there is now also a Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite in addition to the Mi 11 and Mi 11 Ultra: one with 5G and one without.
Hardly any question arrived in our inbox more often last year than the question about a global version of the Mi 10 Ultra. The fact that we had to do without it is finally paying off now. Xiaomi today unveiled the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, a smartphone full of superlatives. And yes, it is also coming to us!
The Redmi Note 9S had a difficult time in 2020. Despite its strong overall package, it was the only device without NFC. That rightfully annoyed the customers. At least Xiaomi does not make this mistake with the Redmi Note 10S. Is it the golden mean?
