With the start of the new 2023 let’s recap its first week. CES 2023 took place in Las Vegas, which is traditionally the stage where Intel and AMD make big announcements. AMD detailed its Ryzen 7000 desktop and mobile CPUs, as well as four new Radeon 7000-series GPUs. Intel unveiled its 13th generation laptop CPUs, based on the innovative and popular 12th generation.

On the other side of the world, OnePlus has announced its new flagship, the OnePlus 11, in China. It comes with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, up to 16GB of RAM, Hasselblad-optimized cameras, a 6.7-inch LTPO 3.0 AMOLED display, and a 5,000mAh battery. The OnePlus 11 is available to order now in China with global availability to follow in February. Also, in a change of naming strategy, there will be no OnePlus 11 Pro this year, so this is the first-half flagship.

There hasn’t been a week without at least one popular Galaxy S23 story in quite some time, and week 1 of 2023 was no exception. First, we learned that Samsung will be ditching the 128GB models and kicking off the range at 256GB, which was sadly later proven incorrect. Second, we got high-quality, official-looking renders of all three models. We’re tired of messing around with specs at this point, but it’s nice to have a good idea of ​​the colors: beige, pink, sage (green), and black.

The Redmi Note 12 series has made its global debut, starting in India. In typical Redmi fashion, the Redmi Note 12 to be sold in India differs slightly from its namesake available in China. Redmi Note 12 Pro and Redmi Note 12 Pro+ are identical.

Lenovo has announced the Motorola ThinkPhone (yes, that’s the official name). As a ThinkPad laptop, the ThinkPhone is made of high-quality materials, has one feature accented in red: a button, instead of a joystick, and is tightly integrated with Lenovo’s ThinkPad devices. The ThinkPhone has a 6.6-inch 1080p OLED with 144Hz refresh rate, a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, 50MP primary camera, and a 5,000mAh battery. Additional niceties include wireless charging, IP68 and increased MIL-STD 810H drop resistance. Lenovo has not yet shared the price of the ThinkPhone.
