Week 23 in review: Three vivo X50 phones, two Honor Play 4, and 43” Nokia TV are official
The past seven days saw plenty of new phones - vivo launched a trio of phones with unique cameras, while Honor brought the Play gaming lineup to life.
On the rumor side it was mostly the Galaxy Note20+ - the latest leak suggested the device will adopt the 108 MP sensor, seen in the Galaxy S20 Ultra, but it will drop the 100X Space Zoom and will limit itself to “just” 50X zoom.
Leaks are also going strong on the OnePlus Z, the upcoming ROG Phone III and the iPad Air 4.
Xiaomi is about to launch the Mi Band 5 next week - we have a specific date to mark on our calendars now.
One thing that grabbed a lot of attention across the globe was the Nokia 43-inch TV that arrived in India - this is a country where smartphone companies are not hesitant to expand beyond the world of mobile devices.
