This week we learned all about the Samsung Galaxy S20 lineup ahead of next month’s official launch event. We’ve seen leaked specs, real-life images, and even a short video showing one of the devices. Keep up with the latest rumors and leaks here.
Another highly anticipated device was in the news this week, with Xiaomi registering the Poco F2 trademark in India. Later in the week Xiaomi announced that Pocophone will spin off into its own brand, similar to other former sub-brands like Redmi. Expect more news on the Poco F2 soon.
Not wanting to miss out on the news cycle, OnePlus also announced that it’s developed an all new 120Hz QHD+ OLED display, which will be included in its upcoming OnePlus 8 smartphones. Even better, the new phones feature a custom Motion Estimation, Motion Compensation (MEMC) chip that will bump ordinary 30fps footage up to 120fps to take advantage of the higher refresh rate.
