If we can make an educated guess, the other two cameras will be more or less the same as on the Find X6 Pro - a 1-inch...

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. While not an ROG phone, it does bring a lot of the gaming-related and performance-tuning features of its sibling line.

Samsung Galaxy A05s in for review

Samsung's e entry-level Galaxy A series is ever expanding, and in 2023, the Galaxy A05s brought a very solid upgrade over its predecessor.

The retail package is modest as they come - you get a USB cable and the phone.

The most notable improvement is on the front, where the Galaxy A05s features a big 6.7-inch PLS LCD with 90Hz of 1080p resolution - up from 720p.

Another big upgrade is the efficient 6nm Snapdragon 680 chip paired with 4GB of RAM. There's also a 6GB version, but it won't be available in certain markets, including India.

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.

The Redmi 13C 5G could also be relaunched as the Poco M6 5G in India since the brand has rebadged and introduced smartphones from the Redmi lineup as Poco phones in the Asian country before.
