Update (2/19): Surprise, surprise – people like cheap things! It seems that after getting 600,000 hits per second on its website, the company couldn’t handle all the orders (and accompanying traffic), and so it had to suspend orders for now. Don’t worry though, Ringing Bells (the handset maker) promises to open back orders “soon”.
Ringing Bells, a company based out of India, has announced that their newest release, the Freedom 251, will sell for just Rs.

A new leak has revealed an upcoming Lenovo flagship phone. The so-called Lenovo Halo could be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus. Lenovo isn’t known for its flagship phones, but it offered the Lenovo Legion Duel high-end gaming phone in 2020 and the Duel 2 last year. The company doesn’t seem to be stopping here though.
Veteran leaker Evan Blass has now leaked a new flagship-level phone called the Lenovo Halo.
As you already know, yesterday was iPhone 5 day. The new iOS smartphone was launched in nine countries and will roll out in 100 markets by the end of the year. Naturally, the device will be compared to every existing and upcoming high-end smartphone. In fact, we have a few such comparisons ourselves featuring the iPhone 5 against some of the hottest Android handsets available (and yes, they include video).
The Samsung Galaxy M series represents the Korean brand’s latest attempt to unseat the likes of Xiaomi and Realme in India. The phones offer a solid design and a low price tag, but they need more than that to claw back market-share from Chinese players.

Update, July 6, 2020 (10:36 AM ET): Previously, we heard multiple rumors that the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 series could launch on August 5, as described in the original article below. However, we now have another source that suggests the same rumored info as well as a possible date that the devices could actually be available in stores.
According to ET News (here’s a translated version), the Galaxy Note 20 series could land in stores in Samsung’s native South Korea on August 21.
Sony just announced the Sony Xperia XZ3 at IFA 2018 in Berlin. The announcement was preceded by a few leaks here and there, but overall it’s pretty surprising that Sony is releasing the follow-up to the Sony Xperia XZ2 so soon (that device only launched in February of this year). As one would expect with the launches being so close together, the Sony Xperia XZ3 specs aren’t all too different from those of the XZ2.
Earlier today we reported that the latest YouTube app update allowed you to share and control YouTube videos on your Google TV directly from your favorite Android smartphone or tablet. Not only is this insanely fun, this is the start of something big. Remember last summer when the Nexus Q launched? Almost immediately the Android and Google TV community collectively wanted these features to come together to form something truly amazing. We wanted to embrace Google’s vision of being open.
MWC 2019 has kicked off and it’s looking like the most exciting iteration in years, in large part due to the presence of foldable phones. The two leading devices are undoubtedly the Samsung Galaxy Fold and the Huawei Mate X, representing a new phase in the war for Android supremacy.
The nascent nature of this device segment means that we’re also seeing a variety of unique form factors, as evident by Huawei and Samsung’s.

The OnePlus 6 teardown from iFixit reveals a lot of waterproofing is inside the device. While the phone has no IP rating and shouldn’t go in the water, it’s nice to know it would likely survive OK if it gets wet. The overall iFixit repairability score seems a bit harsh for the device. Venerable repair site iFixit just published its OnePlus 6 teardown. Despite giving it a mediocre repairability score of 5 out of 10 (more on that in a minute), the teardown did reveal that OnePlus took multiple steps to make the OnePlus 6 pretty water-resistant.
