Week 26 in review: Asus launches Zenfone 10, Xiaomi 13T lineup leaks, Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 becomes off
We send away the first half of 2023 with yet another batch of leaks and teasers. Xiaomi 13T series is on its way, and we saw some specs of the vanilla 13T and the 13T Pro.
Nothing is a brand that generates a lot of hype and we aren’t surprised a Glyph composer, developed jointly with EDM behemoths Swedish House Mafia, was one of the top stories of the past week. There was another, more interesting development around the new phone of Carl Pei’s company, as his team shared two teasers, revealing a flat panel and a transparent back that still keeps the signature LED lights.
Many Samsung fans are expecting the Summer Unpacked event, and the Galaxy Z Flip5 in a spy shot was a popular talk topic around the watercooler. A Galaxy S23 FE is also on its way, which is following the overall S23 design, but we are unsure whether it will be part of the event or have a separate launch.
Qualcomm released its latest chipset for affordable midrangers, the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2, and one of the first phones to get it is the Xiaomi Redmi Note 12R. The Zenfone 10 was finally introduced by Asus with improvements like wireless charging and a new gimbal.
