BYD's sales in the UK and Europe more than tripled last year to nearly 190,000 vehicles, according to trade body Acea. As of January, it had a 1.7 percent market share in the EU, with a 2.4 percent slice of the UK market last month.
The X300s is also officially confirmed to sport a 6.78-inch flat screen with 144Hz refresh rate, symmetrical dual speakers, a custom vibration motor, an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor, and to have support for USB 3.2 Gen 1.
The purpose of this release is to allow app developers and early adopters to create "even better software experiences". The installation requires flashing a ROM, and if you don't have experience in software development or you expect to use the device as a daily driver, it's not recommended to proceed.
Armed with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip paired with up to 12GB LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB UFS 4.1 storage, the V70 Elite is offering flagship-level performance.

The upcoming Oppo Find N6 has seemingly received its certification in China, and this has revealed that it will come with two model numbers over there: PLP110 and PLP120. The former is the regular version, the latter is the one which incorporates BeiDou satellite connectivity. The certification confirms that the Find N6 supports 80W wired charging. According to Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the phone has a battery that's at least 6,000 mAh, as well as an "AI stylus".
On a full charge, the phone can play BGMI for nearly 12 hours straight. Or you can watch YouTube videos for over 32 hours. Other things you can do on a single charge - you can use navigation for over 21 hours or record 4K video for 12 hours. That is, if you start at 100%. However, the battery is so massive that even at just 5% left, you can still do nearly 4 hours of voice calls or SatNav for over an hour.

OnePlus unveiled its current flagship, the OnePlus 15, in October last year. Although the launch of its successor is still some time away, leaks have already begun to surface online.

Notably, its predecessor, the 15, comes with a 7,300mAh unit with 120W fast charging support.
Apple introduced MagSafe wireless charging in 2020 with the iPhone 12 series. In contrast to regular wireless charging, it uses magnets rather than relying on manual alignment between the charging coils or on gravity to keep the phone and charger together. It is a simple, cheap and effective solution. So why is it that smartphone makers have been so reluctant to adopt it, even years after the Qi standard officially added a Magnetic Charging Profile?
The vivo Y21 launched in 2021, and now the brand is working on the Y21 5G. Weird, we know, but apparently vivo couldn't help but reuse this name, despite there being an infinite number of other options. The Y21 5G will come with a 6,355 mAh rated battery in India and Malaysia, and a 5,090 mAh rated battery elsewhere. These capacities will probably end up advertised as typical 6,500 mAh and 5,250 mAh, respectively.

The iQOO 15 Ultra is now official - it is the first iQOO phone with an active cooling fan and it is the first to deserve the "Ultra" moniker (previously, "Pro" models have been the top end). The Ultra draws its power from a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, the same as the vanilla iQOO 15. However, here there is the "Ice Dome" system - a fairly large 17x17mm fan that moves 0.315 cfm (cubic feet per minute). The chipset is paired with 10,667Mbps LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1. The Qualcomm chip is paired with the Q3 gaming chip that handles resolution upscaling and frame generation.
