Apple has reported revenue of US$90.8 billion (A$137.34 billion) for its fiscal 2024 second quarter which ended on 30 March, down 4% year-on-year.

Chinese smartphone vendor Oppo has signed a 5G patent cross-licensing agreement with Finnish phone firm Nokia and says all legal issues between the two companies will be sorted out.

ANALYSIS One of the factors that the company behind realme smartphones relies on to sell its wares is price, with a surprising number of features offered for this amount.

Chinese smartphone vendor Oppo will close its chip design unit, the news agency Reuters reports, citing tremors in both the global economy and the smartphone sector.

After one reviews a number of Android phones, it becomes difficult to pick points of difference that make a newer model better than something which was launched in the past.

Chinese smartphone vendor OPPO has announced what it claims are breakthroughs in high-speed flash charging and a new CPE device at the Mobile World Congress which is taking place in Barcelona this week.

The OPPO A94 5G is the third low-budget model from this Chinese vendor released this year, and also the most expensive of the lot, the others being the A54 5G and A74 5G.

Chinese smartphone maker OPPO has announced ColorOS 12, a new version of its modified Android mobile operating system, describing it as being closer to stock Android.

Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi may have grabbed the international headlines, but another brand, vivo, owned by giant BBK Electronics, has quietly moved up to take the top spot in the Chinese market, the technology analyst company Counterpoint Research says.

OPPO and vivo, both smartphone brands from the Chinese behemoth B.B.K. Electronics, have wasted no time in releasing betas of Android 12, Google's mobile operating system that was announced at the search company's annual I/O event held on 18 May.

Even before one starts casting a critical eye over the OPPO A54 5G, there is one feature that is sure to grab the attention, especially in these times: it costs just $399 and easily qualifies as Australia's cheapest 5G smartphone at the moment.

Last year, OPPO released three 5G smartphones in its flagship Find X line. This year, the company has done likewise, seeking, one guesses, to again cater to all segments of the Australian populace which want to invest in devices that incorporate the new technology.

Chinese smartphone maker vivo has taken the top spot in its home market for the first, beating its own stablemate, OPPO, the technology analyst firm Counterpoint Research says.

Chinese smartphone maker vivo, one of the three main brands owned by B.B.K. Electronics, has announced discounts on some of its models from 1 April as an Easter promotion.

OPPO, one of three smartphone brands owned by giant B.B.K. Electronics, has become the number one smartphone brand in China for the first time, the technology analyst firm Counterpoint Research says, adding that this was achieved in January. OPPO was also the top 5G brand in the sub-US$600 (A$780) price segment.

The vivo Y70 was the last of the Android phones on my list for review last year, but unfortunately the test device reached me just before the holidays, due to logistical issues. Hence, this review has been delayed a fair bit.

There's very little to differentiate OPPO's A53s smartphone from its half-brother, the A53, which was reviewed last week. Indeed, they look to be twins under the skin.

The OPPO A53 is another one of those nicely built 4G smartphones to emerge from the belly of B.B.K. Electronics, with plenty of premium features but a price that will not break the bank.

Like many of its cousins from its parent company, electronics giant B.B.K. Electronics, the vivo Y20S is a solidly constructed device, one of many 4G smartphones hitting the Australian market as companies realise that 5G smartphones are really not needed here given the current state of the 5G rollout.

Chinese smartphone vendor vivo has launched another two smartphones in Australia, with the Y20s and Y70 smartphone being part of its next gen Y Series.
