Samsung wants to sell 270 million devices next year with a big focus on foldables

Samsung is expecting to sell around 260 million smartphones this year and aims to sell about 270 million units in 2023, according to a new report out of its home of Korea. The company's device sales peaked back in 2017 at 320 million units, and it's not gone over 300 million ever since.

Samsung already released a stable version of One UI 5.0 based on Android 13 for most of its flagship phones, including the Galaxy S22 series, so it's only natural for the Galaxy S21 FE to get its fair share of software improvements.

Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G NE, Xiaomi 13 Lite, and Xiaomi Civi 2 might all be the same device

The upcoming Xiaomi 13 Lite has been spotted in the IMEI database today, bearing the model number 2210129SG. The fact that a 13 Lite is in the works is no surprise whatsoever, we always assumed the 12 Lite would have a successor. Its model number, though, is very intriguing. That's because just last week the same model number was seen in another database, where its name was said to be Xiaomi 12 Lite 5G NE when it does eventually launch. This got us thinking that there are only a few options that explain what's going on here. Maybe Xiaomi decided upon one of these two names first, and...
