Another week down, let’s recap. The MediaTek Dimensity 9200 showed impressive muscles on AnTuTu and GFXBench, especially on the graphics front. It managed to outperform all current chipsets, including the Apple A16 Bionic, although cross-platform comparisons are rarely a great idea.

Xiaomi announced the Redmi Note 12 series just last week and the first sale went great. The four phones got 350,000 orders in the first flash sale, running out of initial inventory.

Meanwhile Xiaomi showed a prototype with two of the Xiaomi 12S Ultra’s 1-inch sensors: one is the same as the 12S Ultra, complete with lens, the other is lensless and can stick Leica M glass on top! It needs an adapter and makes it bulky but it’s a phone with interchangeable lenses! It is likely that we will not see this prototype on the shelves: the next Xiaomi 13 Pro is also rumored to have a 1 “sensor, perhaps a special edition of that device would be more appropriate.

Huawei has announced the Pocket S, the cheapest foldable ever at CNY5,988 ($ 820 / € 830) (although the Galaxy Z Flip4 is currently on the black market for a lower price). The China-headed Pocket S is a watered-down variant of the P50 Pocket with less impressive cameras and a Snapdragon 778G chipset.

Those were some of the key stories of the week, check below for the full list! I’ll see you next week!
