The Asus Zenfone 10 and ROG Ally get price cuts on Amazon Germany

Smartphones keep growing bigger and bigger, except for a few exceptions – phones like the Asus Zenfone 10 bring a lot of power in a fairly compact package. Sure, it’s not smaller than the Galaxy S23, but the S23 doesn’t have a 3.5mm jack.

The Zenfone has a 144Hz AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution and a larger 4,300mAh battery (400mAh more than the S23). It also has 30W wired and 15W wireless charging with an extensive set of options and settings.

Poco M6 5G tipped to be a rebranded Redmi 13C 5G

Xiaomi sub-brand Redmi launched the Redmi 13C 5G in India a few days ago, which, according to tipster Kacper Skrzypek, will launch as the Poco M6 5G in some markets.

Tecno held its Future Lens event in Shanghai this week and showcased three innovative technologies that we'll likely see in future Phantom X cameraphones.
