Another week in the books, let’s take a look at the most important stories from the past seven days. The Xiaomi 13 is going all flat. The new design was revealed in the renders and we also have dimensions: 152.8 x 71.5 x 8.3mm. The bump of the camera takes it to 10.3mm thick. The phone is also rumored to work with the latest generation Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip.

We’ve also seen renders of the Xiaomi 13 Pro and it has Xiaomi’s current design language with a slim, contoured bezel and curved glass panels on both sides. Xiaomi 13 Pro should contain the same 1 “IMX989 sensor as the 12S Ultra. The 13 series could be launched as early as December.

The Leica Leitz Phone 2 was presented in Japan. The new device shares its key hardware with the Sharp Aquos R7 but offers a more robust design with textured metal sides, Leitz branding, and a metal cap for the rear camera. The back has the same 47MP main camera with a 1 ”sensor. The sensor co-developed by Sharp and Leica offers a seven-element Leica Summicron lens with an F / 1.9 aperture and 19mm focal length.

Google has anticipated its Black Friday deals for the Pixel 7, 7 Pro and 6a. Here is the rundown. Pixel 7 will have a $ 100 to $ 499 discount, Pixel 7 Pro will have a $ 150 to $ 749 discount. The cheapest phone you can get from Google on Black Friday remains the Pixel 6a, which will drop to $ 299 from its regular price of $ 449.

The Infinix Zero 5G 2023 went official with a Dimensity 1080 chip, 6.78-inch IPS LCD with 120Hz refresh rate and 50MP main camera. We still talk about prices and availability.

MediaTek announced the Dimensity 9200. The chip is built on TSMC’s 4nm N4P node and has a Cortex-X3 core running at up to 3.0GHz, 3 Cortex-A715 cores running at 2.85GHz and 4 cores Cortex-A510 1.8GHz for efficiency. The chip supports 5G Sub-6 GHz, mmWave, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.3, as well as USB 4.0. The first phones powered by Dimensity 9200 are expected to launch by the end of 2022, at which point there are less than two months to go.

The Realme 10 is the other announcement of the week with a Helio G99 chip, 6.4-inch AMOLED with 90Hz refresh rate, 50MP JN1 main camera which is somewhat a downgrade from the Realme 9, and a battery from 5,000 mAh. The Realme 10 will be available soon, starting at $ 230 for the 4 / 64GB model.
