The Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite was only available once, followed by the Galaxy S20 Fan Edition and the successor seems to have been planned for a long time.
Fan Edition: Last year the Samsung Galaxy S20 Fan Edition inherited the Lite versions from the previous year and was very convincing. Samsung offered almost the same high-end hardware as the original S20 smartphones, but at a more attractive price and in a wide range of colors. In any case, it was well received, the Galaxy S20 FE has also been able to sell well in this country. A successor seems to have long been determined.
One of the most famous “leakers” of our time published a schedule from Samsung, which was probably only intended for internal purposes. It didn’t work out well though. In any case, this schedule reveals the near future of newer Samsung devices. A hot August is revealed, because an “FE Unpacked” is planned for August 19th. Behind this is probably the Samsung Galaxy S21 Fan Edition.
Fan Edition with Snapdragon platform and as a Note replacement?
This year the Galaxy S21 FE may only be available with 5G and that of course gives hope for the integration of the Snapdragon 888. Last year, Samsung had equipped the cheaper 4G model with an Exynos chip, which was not necessarily well received by the European fan base. For a variety of reasons, people prefer Qualcomm chips, which usually do a little more and are better for battery life.
It is also interesting: Samsung is planning the new Fan Edition for the period of the Note series, which may not be available this year. Or maybe never again? A popular smartphone for the mass market could fill this gap. Samsung seems to be pursuing this plan. Speaking of plan. At least on the leaked part there is nothing to read about the Note series anyway, which could “confirm” its end.

More and more information emerges: Google is probably only changing the Pixel 4a (5G) a little and then reselling it as the Pixel 5a.
Google Pixel 5a: In the first half of the year, Google could introduce a first new smartphone for this year, the new model is most likely an a-device again. According to previous experience, it is the cheapest smartphone of the latest generation. But is it even worth waiting for this device? According to the latest and already known information, this is unfortunately not the case.
With the release of the latest preview version of Android 12, the new smartphone is also shown in the source code. There it is listed under the same code name as the Pixel 4a (5G) already had. In addition to this, the first major, tangible leak from a few weeks ago, unfortunately all of this does not sound particularly “new”. According to previous knowledge, this means a pixel 5a that is simply just a pixel 4a (5G).
Google no longer without 5G: More and more leaks suggest that the Pixel 5a has little new to offer
Already the known case dimensions allowed this conclusion, the identical code name only confirms the assumptions of some international colleagues even more. Perhaps the Pixel 5a has a slightly newer processor than the Pixel 4a (5G) and, with a bit of luck, even a 90 Hz OLED display. Compared to the regular Pixel 4a, the annual upgrade would be decent.
Google would probably not introduce a smartphone without 5G this year either.
Speaking of Pixels, this is interesting. From the Google Photos app:
We already know the Pixel 5a is basically identical to the Pixel 4a (5G), but it could even come down to the code-name: https://t.co/4GZvwCFzMy pic.twitter.com/yShZeEd6Nz
Another certification appeared recently, which seems to confirm the imminent market launch of the Pixel 5a. A few days ago an insider promised the event for June 11th, although the presentation may be reduced to a simple press release. Google doesn’t necessarily make a big thing out of every idea of new hardware, as is usually the case with other manufacturers.

A new label is intended to underline the availability of Google apps, and now Samsung of all people is starting this new offensive.
Google: In the past 24 months, the group has built a new branding behind the most famous search engine. Most of Google’s mobile apps are now also wrapped in the familiar colors. In addition, Google is more prominent as a brand, which is at least the case on mobile devices. At least since the inevitable end of the cooperation with Huawei, Google has been giving more gas in this area.
Not only has the partnership with Samsung been tightened in many areas. Other manufacturers should also advertise the Google apps more than in the past. Nevertheless, we see the next new label at Samsung with which Google partners have to advertise their Android mobile devices. Google has not yet officially presented the new label, but Samsung is already the first manufacturer to use it for the Galaxy Tab S7, Galaxy A52 and A72.
Full throttle for your own branding: Google binds the major smartphone manufacturers to itself
Samsung of all people, one might think, looking back at the past. A few years ago, the most popular smartphone manufacturer completely refrained from even mentioning Android at its own events. Today, Samsung advertises a “super Android user experience” and highlights the popular Google apps such as YouTube, Google Maps or Google Chrome. In addition, the new label “comes with Google apps”, which probably comes from Google and not from Samsung.
We’ll probably see this label more often in the near future. Google has contracts with the Android manufacturers who deliver Google services on their devices. In addition, this label seems to be made a requirement. Let’s wait and see how this topic develops in the coming months. The severely weakened Huawei shouldn’t be happy about that.
Google Play Store: Two really decent innovations are on their way for the app store for Android, which is actually preinstalled on every Android smartphone. Google has now officially announced a lower percentage that is taken from the income of a large part of the app developers. The fees in the Play Store will even be reduced by half from July 1st of the year!
Lower fees could drop prices on apps
All app developers with an annual income of no more than one million US dollars are affected. Quite a few app and game developers should therefore benefit from the said change. Google even speaks of 99% of the world’s developers benefiting from the halving of fees. Which in turn also shows that the 30% previously stipulated had hit the “smaller ones” in particular. Google follows Apple, who cut their fees a little earlier.
Now it is up to the developers to possibly correct their prices as well. Maybe by 7%? So you pass on half of the positive effect to your own customers and still benefit from 8% higher income.
App installs get better with crowdsourcing
Google is also introducing “App Install Optimization”, for which data about usage behavior in apps is collected and analyzed. To do this, “Google can determine which parts of an app you are using when you open it for the first time after installation”. If you have learned this behavior from enough users, the installation of an app can be adapted and optimized accordingly.
Google promises three things to users and developers:
Speed up installation for apps from Google Play.
Reduce the time it takes to open and run apps.
Reduce the load on your device’s CPU, battery and memory.
For a long time, Google has been striving to ensure that apps can be used immediately when the installation starts, even if the download and installation are not yet finished. I know that from the Xbox, for example. Parts of a game could already be used during the installation. However, we are more pleased if the hardware of the mobile devices can be relieved.
These innovations are probably not live yet. You can switch off the app installation optimization in the settings if you wish.
Google probably wants to install a completely new fingerprint sensor this year, we could see a change in the new Google Pixel 6 for the first time.
Google Pixel 6: The next top smartphone from Google is still a few months away, but the preview version of the next Android generation doesn’t want to keep any secrets. With the new developer preview of Android 12, Google already seems to reveal where the fingerprint sensor is in the new smartphone. This year, Google seems to be taking a somewhat more modern path again, after the sensor on Pixel 5 and Co. was back in its old position.
A developer was able to discover several new classes directly in a Google app, including the one called “UdfpsControllerGoogle”, which at first glance is meaningless. Meaningless until you can decipher the abbreviation. This stands for “Under Display Fingerprint Sensor”. The relationships found indicate that this new class in the source code is not intended generically for such fingerprint sensors, but for the next pixel smartphones.
Google Pixel 6: New sensor could also indicate a major design upgrade
Of course, we still need to be careful with these discoveries and clues. None of this is officially confirmed, and things are still subject to change. Nevertheless, we and our colleagues at XDA think the timing is right. Google has been waiting for several generations of these under-display fingerprint sensors. However, the latest generation from Qualcomm is extremely fast and therefore an attractive alternative to the sensor on the back of the smartphone.
Google would hardly just move the fingerprint sensor and leave the rest of the device in the same condition as the Pixel 5. A major conversion could take place, which brings more differences to the design of the predecessor. However, due to the recent years, we do not expect the Google phones to make any major leaps in design. Much more of an optimization, perhaps to increase factors such as the battery capacity again.

One-handed operation is finally to become more convenient in Android, the innovation provided for this is already visible in a video.
One-handed operation: For several years now, some manufacturers of Android smartphones have been offering different solutions for making a smartphone easier to use with one hand. This, of course, has to do with the enormous growth that the displays in most devices have seen in recent years. Apple also has a one-handed mode, only Google slept here for several years.
At least until now, because Android 12 comes with a native one-handed mode. This already appeared in the first preview version. Now again. This time the function can even be used, so we get to see a first demo version. A video of this has long been available. As it became known before, Google’s idea is limited to simply pushing the screen content further down.
Video demonstrates: New one-handed mode for Android is very easy to use
If the function is activated, the screen content can be dragged down with a swipe gesture. Thus, the used screen is halved, everything comes closer to the thumb. Google has copied this variant from Apple. Other manufacturers shrink the entire screen content into a compact square, which can then be moved on the display and changed in size.
The currently very early version of this function does not have to show the final version. Google could be done. Or maybe make further changes based on user feedback. In our opinion, offering a one-handed mode at all is already several years overdue. Regardless of the fact that the displays of the pixel smartphones never reached the size of the competition.
Setting up Bluetooth accessories particularly convenient is possible with Fast Pair. Now Google better the function for many users.
Fast Pair: Some time ago, Google also introduced a system for Android smartphones that enables the connection to Bluetooth accessories to be particularly quick and convenient. You can simply switch on new accessories, and your smartphone will suggest a connection or initial setup. Fast Pair is not entirely new for a long time. However, there is a new interface and it is also available for other devices from other manufacturers.
Of course, Fast Pair now also with Fitbit hardware
The new popup, which was first introduced with the Pixel Buds, is now also appearing on more and more third-party hardware. This includes, for example, headphones from Bose and OnePlus, but also Fitbit smartwatches (now part of Google). If you are setting up a connection for the first time, a popup appears on the smartphone display because your device has noticed the new hardware in its vicinity. A bit like magic.
At first, Fast Pair only appeared as a notification and could therefore easily be overlooked by the user. The new variant is more eye-catching, but therefore also better suited for more users. You are practically taken by the hand to set up new Bluetooth accessories on your smartphone. For a long time, Android lacked such simple user control in many areas, as Apple’s iOS performed significantly better for several years.
Most Bluetooth hardware today should support Fast Pair. Google seems to have gradually introduced the new interface. You will see when you connect new devices to your Android smartphone for the first time. Google presented Fast Pair in 2018, followed a year later by a first major upgrade and then it was quiet for the time being.
So far, Xiaomi’s flagship series has been reduced to just one smartphone this year, but cheaper Lite models are on the way.
Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite: After the Mi 11 was presented in China and Europe, went on sale and went through the hands of the testers, the world is eagerly awaiting further models of this device series. In particular, we are all very excited to see what Xiaomi would like to offer us for less money. A Mi 11 Lite has been making its rounds in the press for some time and should be presented soon.
Now the device can be seen again in several pictures, the graphics that appear are even supposed to be official press photos from Xiaomi. Here we get confirmed that the Mi 11 Lite looks very close to its expensive brother. This time, Xiaomi relies on easily recognizable optics, at least in the area of the main camera. Technically, the Mi 11 Lite can of course not keep up.
Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite: 5G is not yet a standard
There are probably two models planned, one with and one without 5G. The modern variant has the Snapdragon 765G processor installed, which is definitely decent. We are more disappointed by the LCD screen, we are fans of OLED. After all, the 6.55 ″ panel has a refresh rate of 120 Hz. If you want OLED, you have to go for the weaker Mi 11 Lite 4G!
There is currently some information about the technical equipment of the Mi 11 Lite variants, which we naturally do not want to withhold from you. Xiaomi makes a few differences that are not necessarily understandable, such as the completely different technology for the screens. Insofar as the details that are already known are really correct.
