Gaming phones have become fairly popular over the past couple of years, and they’re typically a showcase for some of the best spec packages that Android has to offer. Today, the Black Shark 2 Pro has gone official with the latest Snapdragon 855 Plus processor.

Xiaomi’s Android One devices have proved pretty popular for a few years now, and today, the third generation has been unveiled. The new Xiaomi Mi A3 offers up a new chipset, the same great software, and plenty of hardware goodies, too.

While the Xiaomi Redmi K20 Pro is a fantastic device that you could consider a spiritual successor to the popular budget beast Pocophone F1, it’s about to get even better thanks to a very special Avengers-themed limited edition.

The death of the notch is one thing we can all applaud. Having a cutout on your display is not only distracting, but it has also become a trend many OEMs have simply adopted to ‘fit in’. Now Xiaomi and Oppo have showcased their own takes on the under-display selfie cameras at almost the same time.
