Rumour has it that Xiaomi has scheduled the release of its next Lite smartphone a day after the debut of the Nothing Phone (1). With a Snapdragon 778G chipset, a 120 Hz AMOLED display, and a 108 MP primary camera, the Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G could prove fierce competition for Nothings first smartphone.

Infinix has launched the Note 12 5G and 12 Pro 5G, thereby making them the first devices of their line to have that type of mobile connectivity. The two new Android smartphones have most specs in common - a new-ish MediaTek Dimensity chipset and support for microSD cards of up to 2TB in size included - although the Pro is the only one with 8GB of RAM and a 108MP camera. They are to be released via Flipkart in India soon.

Vivo has introduced the Y77 5G, a mid-range smartphone launched in China ahead of a Malaysian release. Launched for CNY 1,299 (~US$195), the Vivo Y77 5G has a MediaTek Dimensity 810 SoC, 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of expandable storage, among other features. The Vivo Y77 5G ships with Android 12, too.

Vivo has announced a second version of the Y77, having already introduced the Y77 5G. Equipped with a Dimensity 930 chipset, the Vivo Y77 also has a large display, up to 12 GB of RAM and a 120 Hz refresh rate, among other features.

According to a new leak, the Xiaomi 12T Pro will have the honor of being Xiaomis first phone to feature a 200 MP camera. The vanilla Xiaomi 12T could share that sensor, too, if prior generations of the series are anything to go by.
