What was just a concept in the spring has come to life as an actual product in the summer - the vivo NEX is now official in two distinct flavors. The NEX S and NEX A were announced this week and we went hands-on with them.
Schematics of two sizes of next-gen iPhones surfaced and it appears the future iPhone X Plus will be smaller than the 8 Plus we have now. And rumor has it, Apple may adopt USB-C for next year's iPhones, though we somehow can't see it replacing the Lightning connector at the phone end of the cable.
The Asus ROG phone showed up in benchmarks posting higher numbers than what's typical for the Snapdragon 845, a full spec leak of the Oppo Find X made us want one, and Sony designers talked about their vision for the future as live images of an Xperia XZ3 popped up with little design changes. Meanwhile, Galaxy Note9 blueprints suggested a larger battery this year, and it wasn't long before blueprints turned into renders.
There were two more phones to file in the 'official' folder too - we now have the Redmi 6 and the Redmi 6A, each with a brand new Mediatek Helio chipset.

With such a huge panel it would easily win the battle for the biggest high-end smartphone of the year.
