Xiaomi pushes half a million Redmi Note 11 devices in one hour

Xiaomi introduced the Redmi Note 11 series last week with three amazing smartphones, and unsurprisingly they sold out during the first flash sale. According to official sources, over 500,000 units were sold in the span of one hour - that includes the Redmi Note 11 that was on sale, as well as pre-ordering Redmi Note 11 Pro and Redmi Note 11 Pro+. The new series arrived with aggressively low prices, right in time for the November 11 shopping holiday in China, and customers immediately took advantage of the situation. The Redmi Note 11 starts from CNY1,199 (around $185) and has a...

Top 10 trending phones of week 42

A couple of events took place this week that had a major impact on our trending chart. Xiaomi's new Redmi Note 11 lineup stormed the top with the Pro+, leading from the regular Pro, while Sony's new Xperia Pro-I rounded up the top three. We then have the vanilla Redmi Note 11, meaning the entire top 4 consists of newly announced phones. But it doesn't end there - the Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge which is merely the rumored name of the Pro+ in India is in sixth, splitting last week's leading Google Pixel 6 duo. The Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max was slipping down from the lead over the past two weeks...

Oppo Reno6 Pro 5G in for review

Oppo announced the Reno6 5G, Reno6 Pro 5G, and Reno6 Pro+ 5G in China in May, and the first two began their global rollout in July, starting with India. The Pro+ variant arrived in Europe in September, but under the Reno6 Pro 5G moniker. That means you get a Snapdragon 870 SoC with the European Reno6 Pro 5G, unlike the Indian model that has the Dimensity 1200 chip at the helm. We did a hands-on review of the Dimensity model a few months ago, and now we've received the Snapdragon variant for review at the office in the Arctic Blue color, but you also have the option to pick one in Lunar...

Weekly poll results: Pixel 6 duo well loved, but availability holds it back

It seems that Google finally did it – it created phones that many people want. Unfortunately, it is not a phone that many can get. And no, it’s not because of the price, the $600 Pixel 6 and the $900 Pixel 6 Pro are priced well. But being available in less than a dozen of countries leaves out a lot of would-be buyers. Last week’s poll shows that many are in just that situation. Though considering how quickly the stock ran out, serving more markets might not have been feasible. Putting aside the question of availability, 80% of the votes in the poll are positive. That’s a lot better than...

Sony Xperia PRO-I brings 1.0-inch sensor and variable f/2.0-4.0 aperture

Update: Check out our Sony Xperia Pro-I handson review. Out of the blue, Sony has a new Xperia Pro phone. The Xperia Pro-I (where 'I' stands for 'Imaging') is the first phone outside Japan to deliver a 1.0-inch camera sensor with phase-detect autofocus. That 1.0-inch type imager is taken straight off the company's very popular RX100 VII compact camera, but it has been 'optimized for a smartphone'. What that means is that the Xperia Pro-I uses a big chunk of that sensor (but not all of it) to produce 12MP images with a 2.4µm pixel pitch - that's some 20% larger than the iPhone 13...
