Week 45 in review: OnePlus 10 Pro leaks, Poco M4 Pro announced

The top story this week showed us the first images of the OnePlus 10 Pro, which are based on a prototype of the device. We only really see the rear of the phone and there are a few things to note - there are three cameras, none of which is a periscope, and the camera island doesn't seem to protrude from the panel. The OnePlus 10 Pro should arrive in early 2022.

Another phone that got its images exposed was the Galaxy A53 5G. It looks like its predecessors and the only external change appears to be the removal of the 3.5mm audio jack. The A53 will be available in Black, White, Light Blue, and Orange, according to recent leaks, and will launch in the first three months of next year.

The Poco M4 Pro 5G arrived with a Dimensity 810, 33W charging for its 5,000mAh battery, and a 6.6-inch 90Hz IPS LCD. On the camera front, it carries a 50MP main camera and an 8MP ultrawide. The Poco M4 Pro 5G will be available globally on 11.11 (singles day). The base version will start at €230.

Microsoft brought the Surface Laptop SE, which is a $249 no-frills laptop meant for K-8 classrooms. The laptop is running a toned-down variant of Windows, called Windows 11 SE. The combination is a direct competitor to Google's Chromebook and it arrives in early 2022.

The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE will reportedly be official on January 4 and on sale on January 11. It will run an Exynos 2100 with 8GB of RAM at the base.

Those were the key stories of the week. See you next one!
