Another week is over and done, so let's look at the top stories. The US patched its ban on Huawei by adding some 38 third-party companies that Huawei used to circumvent some of the restrictions. Thus Huawei effectively is left without access to US-based chips and chip technology and could end up without a chip supplier for its phones.
We spotted renders of what could prove to be the Sony Xperia 5 II. While we're very eager for a successor to the tiny and powerful Xperia of 2019, this likely isn't it as the renders look like a miniaturized version of the Xperia 1 II so were likley fake.
The Realme C11, which was unveiled in Malaysia at the end of June is coming to Europe this week, on August 26. It has a 5,000mAh battery, 6.5-inch screen, dual 13MP + 2MP camera and a Helio G35 chipset. We expect the Realme C11 to cost around €100.
The Samsung Galaxy S20 Fan Edition leaked in six colors. It is coming with an Exynos 990 chipset, 6.4-inch or 6.5-inch FullHD+ AMOLED display, 4,500mAh battery and a triple camera with 12MP main, 12MP ultrawide and 8MP telephoto sensors. We expect the Galaxy S20 Fan Edition to come in October, priced at KRW900,000 ($760/€640).
A report suggests that the upcoming Samsung Galaxy M51 will bring, are you sitting down, a 7,000mAh battery. Looking at the Galaxy M31 and its 6,000mAh and the report begins to make sense.
Speaking of Samsung, it made a lot of its fans happy with a promise of at least 3 major updates for all of its Galaxy S, Note and Foldable series (starting from the Galaxy S10/Note10) and a select number of its Galaxy A series. The full list of devices is here.
The Asus Zenfone 7 series are coming next week - on August 26. We expect both the Zenfone 7 and 7 Pro to have a Snapdragon 865 (possibly a SD865+ on the Pro) and start at just €500.
iQOO launched the iQOO 5 and 5 Pro last week. The pair launches in China on August 24, starting at CNY 3,998 and CNY 4,998, respectively and bring 6.56-inch AMOLED screens with 120Hz refresh rate, Snapdragon 865 chipsets and a different set of cameras and batteries. The 5 Pro has a 50MP main camera, 8MP 135mm periscope telephoto and 13MP ultrawide, along with a 4,000mAh battery. The iQOO 5 has a 50MP main camera, 13MP 2x telephoto (not a periscope), 13MP ultrawide and a 4,500mAh battery.
Those were the key stories of last week.
