Realme’s X50 Pro is a cheaper 5G flagship with super-fast charging

[ad_1] Other “Pro” bits include better cameras, Dolby Atmos stereo speakers, a beefed-up in-display fingerprint reader, an improved vapor-cooling system and 35-minute, 65W “SuperDart” flash charge (it’s basically a rebranded version of Oppo’s “SuperVOOC 2.0”).

Sony’s first 5G phone may be a souped-up Xperia 1

[ad_1] There would be other welcome tweaks, including a larger 4,000mAh battery (up from 3,300mAh), a 3X rear zoom lens instead of 2X, 8GB of RAM and 256GB of built-in storage.

Amazon is the latest to pull out of MWC over coronavirus worries

[ad_1] LG, NVIDIA and Ericsson had already pulled out of the how in recent days. Samsung is also believed to have scaled back its presence, although it should still have a footprint at the show.

LG’s big phone this spring may be the V60, not the G9

[ad_1] For the longest time, LG’s phone releases ran like clockwork: you could expect a G series phone around Mobile World Congress in late February, while V series devices would appear either in the fall or when LG had some big new feature to promote.
