Are you annoyed by the increasingly bulky camera bumps on modern smartphones? Just take a look at the Vivo X200 Pro or the Oppo Find X8 Pro for reference.

While these flagship devices offer incredible clarity and long-range zoom, achieving these features necessitates hardware that protrudes awkwardly from the phone’s sleek design.

But Samsung’s new ALoP (All Lenses on Prism) technology promises to combine high-quality photography with a slimmer, more ergonomic camera design.

Read on to find out more.

Huawei, yesterday, kicked off pre-orders for its upcoming Mate 70 series smartphones, exactly a week ahead of their official launch on November 26. And within the first 10 hours, the pre-order window attracted over 130,000 registrations.

After months of waiting, the first details of the Redmi K80 series are finally out. The company has confirmed that this year, the series will include only two models: the Redmi K80 and K80 Pro. There will be no Redmi K80e.

Oppo has launched the Harry Potter Special Edition Reno 12F smartphone in the global market, starting with Peru through a local telecom operator. The Harry Potter Special Edition Reno 12F 5G features a unique design and themed packaging. The box resembles a spell book, and the phone comes with a range of accessories, including a wand-like stylus, a protective case, a Golden Snitch keychain, and a SIM ejector pin shaped like the Deathly Hallows.

Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy S25 series in the next couple of months. All three models in the line — the Galaxy S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra — will reportedly feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. Additionally, leaks suggest the lineup will start with 12GB of RAM, an upgrade from the 8GB base in the previous generation. Despite this improvement, a new leak suggests the S25 series will match the pricing of the S24 lineup.
