Week 38 in review: Redmi Note 13 announced, iPhone 15 is now for sale

Last week, we saw the arrival of the iPhone 15 series, and the new quartet is still dominating the headlines this week as it went on sale in the first wave of regions.

Xiaomi introduced the Redmi Note 13 series in its home market. Honor made the V Purse concept a real phone albeit one that will only be sold in China.

A bunch of Chinese makers found themselves in hot water, as Xiaomi phones are no longer for sale by carriers in Finland. At the same time, the Huawei Mate 60 Pro was found to have components of questionable origin – a 7nm chipset with 5G capabilities and SK Hynix RAM. On top of everything, Germany could impose a limit on which companies can provide 5G equipment, with Huawei and ZTE receiving the biggest hit of such a ban.

Samsung launched a super-rugged version of the Galaxy S23 and Xcover6 Pro, while Google finally dropped software support for the unimpressive Pixel 4a.

The week ended with a glamorous event in Singapore, where Tecno released its first clamshell foldable – the Phantom V Flip and the device could be a game-changer given its low price of $600.
