The Poco F5 starts at $379, while the Pro starts at $449.

There are two selfie cameras: an 8MP one on the inner display and a 9.5MP one on the cover display. You can get the Pixel Fold for $1,799 in black or white next month.

The Pixel 7a offers a Tensor G2, a 6.1-inch display with a 90Hz refresh rate, a 4,385mAh battery, and a new 64MP primary camera that pixel-bins to a final 16MP. It is INR 44,000/€510/$500 and is shipped in the middle of the month.
