Week 39 in review: Redmi Note 11R is here, Pixel 7 rumors heat up in the final week

The floodgates have officially opened.

It’s a rebranded Poco M4 5G.

The phone is Poco M4 5G, rebranded for the Chinese market.

According to the teaser, the chipset is Dimensity 920 by Mediatek.

If you go peeking really close, you will notice some minute differences, but otherwise they’re practically identical.

The phone is up for pre-order and sale in several Southeast Asian markets.

The first phone in Xiaomi’s main series with front-facing LED flash.

The Infinix Zero 20 has a 60MP selfie camera with optical stabilization and autofocus.

The design is mostly carried from last year’s Pixel 6 series with some slight tweaks to the camera visor.

The starting price is €1,299, Leather Orange option is €100 more.

We’re also expecting a Redmi Pad and a new pair of Redmi TWS earbuds.

The larger battery capacity combined with the more efficient chip bring tangible improvements to endurance. 

It will cost the same $599/€649 as the Pixel 6.

The phone will use the new Tensor G2 chipset, of course, but not much else seems to have changed.

Open sales in Russia start on October 3.

The phone is shown in all three color versions.

Six new SKUs announced, with more coming in later.

There’s just no incentive to throw a big event for just a few products.

The new listing appeared just days after the alleged Galaxy S23 Ultra was also certified with 25W charging.

The new phone starts at CNY 1,698 ($238) in China.

It’s expected to go official in November.

The company offers 10% cashback on Samsung purchases.

A lot is riding on the G2 chip as the new phone is expected to be only a mild upgrade over the Pixel 6 Pro in all other regards.

VKontakte along with other apps from the same developer are no longer available on the App Store.

Windows Subsystem for Android is now available out of the beta channel.

Apple has shown no interest in supporting RCS, so Google is giving Apple a taste of its own medicine.
