POCO F2 ‘Pro’ could be a rebranded Redmi K30 Pro
Back in February POCO came back with the X2 which was basically a rebranded Redmi K30 so the rumor mill hinted to the POCO F2 being a rebranded Redmi K30 Pro and a new report from XDA claims that this will be the case. The leaks come from a Google Play Support Page that shows the POCO F2 Pro which is codenamed “Imi”, which was also the codename for the K30 Pro. As a reference, the K30 Pro has a 6.7in display, quad cameras at the back, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865, 4700 mAh battery and 33W fast charging.
Samsung’s first phone with a pop-up selfie camera appears in leaked renders
Samsung has been experimenting with notches for about a year now with their Infinity Displays, but the company never hopped on the pop-up camera trend. Some new CAD renders show that that might end soon as the Galaxy A80 might bring a pop-up camera on the left side of the display. The device would also have a 6.5in display, triple cameras at the back and no headphone jack. There’s no specifications or launch dates leaked, but we’ll most likely see it soon.

Galaxy Fold 2 leak hints at upgraded imaging hardware with 64MP main camera
We have brand new leaks for the Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 from the same source from last week which hinted a 120Hz display and S Pen compatibility. The new leak reports the the Fold 2 will bring an upgraded triple camera system at the back. This would consist of a 64MP/16MP/12MP array with dual optical image stabilization, pretty much the ones on the S20 and S20+. The source also claims that the Fold 2 will also be cheaper than the original Fold by at least $100, anywhere between $1880 and $1895. The launch will most likely be on August with the Note line up, if all goes well with the pandemic.
