26 May 2021 Source: Apoorva Bhardwaj / Android Central The Xiaomi Mi 11 is a perfect blend of software and hardware to provide a fantastic flagship smartphone experience. Over the past few years, we ve seen a major shift in the smartphone market. While Samsung has remained at the top in terms of global shipments, other phone makers are closing the gap. One company making leaps and bounds and closing the gap faster than others is Xiaomi. Late in 2020, the company unveiled its 2021 flagship with the Xiaomi Mi 11, and since then has introduced several more devices that fall in the Mi 11 family. The Mi 11 was the first device to launch with the latest Snapdragon 888 chipset from Qualcomm, providing all the power you could want in a flagship handset.

Cameras have always been the differentiator for Vivo, and it is doubling down in this area in 2021. Vivo has teamed up with German powerhouse Zeiss to tune its cameras emulating what its BBK sister company OnePlus did with Hasselblad. The X60 Pro+ has four cameras at the back, and unlike most phones, all four modules here are noteworthy. You get a 50MP primary camera with a 1/1.3-inch sensor, 48MP wide-angle lens, a 32MP telephoto lens with 2x zoom, and an 8MP module with 5x optical zoom. The device also picks up a gorgeous vegan leather back similar to last year s Find X2 Pro and features the latest internal hardware available today, including a 120Hz AMOLED screen and the Snapdragon 888 chipset.

In fact, Xiaomi is the second-largest wearable manufacturer in the world, second only to Apple. Xiaomi s success is due to the fact that its fitness bands offer the same set of features as Fitbit for a fraction of the price. Last year s Mi Band 5 introduced a large OLED screen and a new charging connector, and for 2021 Xiaomi is rolling out a few upgrades with the Mi Band 6. The Mi Band 6 has an even larger 1.56-inch screen that extends all the way to the edges, and it comes with a 24-7 heart rate sensor, blood oxygen monitoring, stress monitoring, activity detection, and two-week battery life.
Source: Jerry Hildenbrand / Android Central I love checking out some of the amazing phones that we don t usually get to see. The RedMagic 6 Pro especially caught my eye because I use a RedMagic phone every evening to watch videos in bed the battery life is unbeatable. It s been here for about a week, and I am not disappointed or surprised. It s big. It has the latest specs. It has the requisite RGB LEDs that the best gaming phones require. It even has a user-controllable cooling fan. Pretty intriguing, right? There is a lot to love about this phone, but there is also a lot to not love. Scroll down to read our full RedMagic 6 Pro review.
Source: Apoorva Bhardwaj / Android Central Samsung is the world s largest smartphone manufacturer by some margin; in Q1 2021, the South Korean manufacturer sold 76.1 million phones around the world and had a 22% market share. While Samsung traditionally relied on its flagships for a bulk of the revenue from its mobile business, it is increasingly turning to the mid-range and budget segments to bolster growth. The Galaxy S21 series was well-received following its debut earlier this year, but there won t be a Galaxy Note this year, with Samsung shifting focus to foldables, like the upcoming Z Fold 3. Looking back at the ten best-selling phones last year, Samsung did not have any Galaxy S or Note models in the list. However, it did have four models in the Galaxy A series, with the Galaxy A51 narrowly losing out to the iPhone 11 as the best-selling phone of 2020. That particular device was joined by the budget-focused Galaxy A01, A11, and A21s.
