This week has seen some interesting announcements. Our hottest story of the week was Xiaomi’s confirmation that the Xiaomi 13 series will launch globally on February 26 at Mobile World Congress. This means that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 powered Xiaomi 13 Pro and Xiaomi 13 are coming to a store, possibly near you.

OnePlus unveiled a couple of phones, its first tablet, earphones, a new TV and a keyboard. The OnePlus Pad looked the most interesting: It has an 11.61-inch 7:5 screen and a Dimension 9000 chip. The tablet will arrive in Europe, India and North America in April, but the price is still anyone’s guess.
OnePlus 11 has started its international rollout. We already knew the specs, so we won’t redo them here. OnePlus 11 will be available in North America, Europe and the Middle East for the first time in the company’s history.
Meanwhile, the OnePlus 11R has launched in India with a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip, 100W charging, and a starting price of ₹40,000 for the 8/128GB model.
Realme presented the GT Neo 5 with insane charging speeds. There are two models: one with 240W charging and another with “only” 150W. Charging aside, it’s the same underlying design: a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, a 6.74-inch 144Hz AMOLED and a camera 50MP main. The 240W model has a 4,600mAh battery that will charge to 100% in less than 10 minutes, according to Realme. The 150W model has a 5,000mAh unit.
