After launching the Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro in China last year, the Leica-equipped smartphone cameras make their way to the international market. The company debuted the phones at the ongoing Mobile World Congress in Barcelona alongside a new Xiaomi 13 Lite model. Of course, the most talked-about features revolve around these phones' cameras. Xiaomi worked with Leica on both the hardware and software of these devices. 

The Xiaomi 13 Pro gets the 50-megapixel Sony IMX989 1-inch sensor with optical image stabilization, a 50-megapixel telephoto camera with a 3x zoom, and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide with macro support and AF. Meanwhile, the Xiaomi 13 has a 50-megapixel sensor with OIS, 3x telephoto with a 10-megapixel sensor and OIS, and a 12-megapixel ultrawide.

After introducing its limited-edition line of Pokemon-themed accessories in November, Samsung is bringing back the line on February 27 for Pokemon Day. The day honours the release of the games Pokemon Red and Green back in 1996. The special day brings back everything from a Ring case for the Galaxy Z Flip4, Pokeball cover for the Galaxy Buds, and Poke Ball Band for the Galaxy Watch.

If you're wondering what Apple plans to do with the iPhone 15 Plus, here's what the phone will look like, at least according to renders. 9to5Mac based the renders on the dimensions Apple gives to partners in its supply chain. And from this quick look, we see that Dynamic Island makes its way to this model and the bezels appear to be slimmer than on the iPhone 14 Plus. It's also slightly taller, narrower, and thicker than its predecessor, complete with a thicker camera bump.

And it is expected to feature the slightly rounded edges as the rest of the iPhone 15 lineup. We're also anticipating the iPhone 15 Plus to have a USB-C port. The iPhone 14 Plus has supposedly sold worse than expected, but perhaps these new design changes could entice buyers to pick them up.
