Another week down, here are the highlights. LG announced a new brand identity and look, dubbed LG Active Red. The company is going for a more “dynamic and youthful” look. It will continue to not make new phones, sadly.
It was a big week for Xiaomi 13 Ultra teasers. The phone is going official on April 18 and it will bring four rear cameras – the 1-inch IMX989, and three IMX858 (reportedly a 1/2.4-inch sensor) for the 3x, 5x, and ultrawide cameras. We also saw the Ultra in press renders, with a standout design with a centered camera lens-style module, and a contoured leather-bound rear.
Finally, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra will reportedly start from CNY 6,299 ($916, converted) for the 8/256GB model, and top out at CNY 7,499 ($1,090, converted) for the 16/512GB model.
The Oppo Find X6 Pro was awarded the best cameraphone yet by DxOMark. We’ll reserve our judgment for our review, coming soon.
The upcoming Samsung Galaxy F54 is coming soon with a 6,000mAh battery and 25W charging. With certifications in place and support pages already up, the Galaxy F54 should be close to launch.
See you in a week!
LG is going for a more “dynamic and youthful” look in hopes of reinventing its brand identity.

Expect a small price increase compared to last year’s Xiaomi 12S Ultra.

Samsung.com already has support pages up in three countries for the new variant.

Paying subscribers now have even more perks.

These buttons are supposed to be solid state and the ringer switch will allegedly be replaced by an “action button”.

It’s no surprise with those big sensors.

Pricing and availability details are yet to be provided.

It’s a two-level bump again, but this time Xiaomi is trying to blend the lower level more smoothly into the back.

Unsurprisingly, this one will be a proper flagship.

The new Sony IMX858 is the star of the show.

Pricing and availability details are yet to be provided.

The price will only be revealed on April 25, however.

It’s expected to be a rebranded OnePlus Ace 2V for the global market.

The launch will be online and will begin at 19:00 GMT +8.

Both new devices are equipped with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset and come with 80W charging.

Both panels will be OLED by Samsung.

The company might stick to physical buttons, after all.

It’s the second Realme smartphone to come with the Mini Capsule feature.

You can easily try it on your Pixel if you want to.

There isn’t much actual info on the device yet – will it be a dual foldable like patent drawings from 2021 showed? Perhaps, perhaps not.

Going from a quad Cortex-A53 CPU to one that has two A75 cores and six A55s will make a huge difference. The phone goes on sale in India next week.

The phone comes with a slightly less powerful chipset and charging from its 240W sibling.

The trio is definitely coming soon.

The T2 is powered by the Snapdragon 695 SoC, while the T2x has the Dimensity 6020 chip at the helm.

Xiaomi is also launching the Xiaomi 13 Ultra on the same day.
