Meizu teases the 17 Pro with 129-degree ultra-wide cam and next-gen speakers

It seems like Meizu is pretty generous with information surrounding the upcoming Meizu 17-series lately as the company shares two more teasers. One claims that the Pro version would have a 129-degree ultra-wide camera and the other one is all about the great-sounding stereo loudspeakers. If the translation and the teaser itself is accurate, this could mean that the Meizu 17 Pro would sport one of the widest ultra-wide cameras on the market, if not the widest.

DxOMark scored the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip right below the iPhone XS

One of the most impressive phones this year so far is undoubtedly the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip. But that's mostly because of its form factor and flexible display.

Xiaomi's Pocophone F2 Pro might not have 5G, at least in some markets

The long-awaited Pocophone F1 successor might finally arrive in the coming months or weeks and judging by the frequency of the rumors lately, it will be sooner than later. But if you are having high hopes for the Pocophone F2 Pro and 5G connectivity is on top of your priority list, you might have to look somewhere else. At least according to this snapshot from the TKDN certification in Indonesia. The model number M2004J11G matches the Pocophone F2 Pro's one and the listing clearly says it supports 4G-LTE bands and no word of 5G. Obviously, the chipset would still be the 5G-capable...

Oppo A92 listed on Indensian store with complete specs and prices

The much-leaked Oppo A92 smartphone has been officially revealed, kind of. Although there's no official word from Oppo itself, the handset has been listed on an Indonesian store with full specs, prices and a couple of renders.
