Samsung will announce its Galaxy S20 on sex r videoFebruary 11, and that phone will almost surely have Qualcomm's new, Snapdragon 865 chip on board.
But China's ZTE has stolen a tiny bit of Samsung's thunder by announcing a smartphone with a Snapdragon 865 a few days earlier (via Android Authority).
The phone is called the ZTE Axon 10s Pro, and it's solid but not stellar in terms of other specs; in fact it's quite reminiscent of last year's Axon 10 Pro. It has a curvy, 6.47-inch AMOLED display with a 2,340x1080 resolution, a 48/20/12-megapixel rear camera, a 20-megapixel selfie camera, 6/12GB of fast, LPDDR5 RAM and 128/256GB of storage.
