It looks like Qualcomm is preparing a chipset for simple, affordable phones - think Android Go and such. The chip is called QM215 and may not be part of the Snapdragon line. It could be marketed as the Qualcomm Mobile 215 Platform instead. Regardless of naming, this chipset is related to the Snapdragon 410 and 425. The QM215 will stick to a quad-core CPU (most likely with Cortex-A53 cores) clocked at 1.3GHz and a GPU clocked at 650MHz. It's not clear if this chip will be made on a 28nm process like the 410/425 or something more modern.

In January ZTE committed to launch its first 5G phone in the first six months of the year. This will happen at the MWC on February 25 (next Monday) as the event invite promises "New Axon, New 5G Flagship". It's not clear if those two lines refer to the same device or two models. We know that there's an Axon 10 Pro in the works with Snapdragon 855, so 5G is definitely a possibility (though the EEC didn't say anything about it). However, most companies are launching separate lines for their debut 5G phones - Samsung, OnePlus, Huawei, LG and others are releasing their flagship sequels and... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://bit.ly/2IvNXd8 via IFTTT

The Redmi Note 7 is hitting India on February 28, and Xiaomi is doing its best to keep the hype alive for the next ten days. The latest post from Redmi India on Twitter asks fans to look closely into the 48 MP image of the number 7 and find all the humans. The image is also filled with teasers like a fingerprint scanner behind a display in the top part of the digit, leaving us with the assumption the Redmi Note 7 Pro will indeed come with a UD sensor.

The Moto G lineup has come a long way since its first release in 2013. The original Moto G is still one of the most iconic handsets ever created as it jump-started a new era of mid-range smartphones. It was quite frankly the first budget phone that made sense with a fairly powerful SoC for the asking price, good battery life and clean, fast and clutter-free Android experience. But seven generations in, does the Moto G7 lineup still have it? Or the focus had shifted so much, it's hard to recognize the new Motos, for better or worse? from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://bit.ly/2EhHIWo via IFTTT

Basic screen protectors for the Galaxy S10 and S10+ will have unsightly holes in them to allow the ultrasonic fingerprint reader to do its job. Not the Whitestone Dome glass, however, the company claims that its protector is the only solution that doesn't require a hole. Whitestone claims its Dome glass is the only one to support Galaxy S10's ultrasonic fingerprint reader The key is that the protector must not leave an air gap between itself and the glass - this gap will cause issues with an ultrasonic reader (but not with an optical one).
