The launch of the Xiaomi 12 confirms it once again: Smartphones will be smaller and lighter in 2022.

With MIUI 13 slowly rolling out globally, I can't help but feel a bit disappointed, not because my hardy Redmi Note 9 Pro isn't getting it anytime soon, if at all, but because two years later software problems are still there, "bugging" me daily.

Suddenly. it appeared out of the blue: the Galaxy S21 FE. Samsung delivered the "Fan Edition" of the Galaxy S21 series almost a year after the release of the Galaxy S21. Not only that, the launch of this handset happened just a few weeks before the expected introduction of the Galaxy S22 series.

2021 has only a few hours left - so it is time to celebrate its end and welcome the new year. Last year I wrote that I was glad that 2020 was over and that we could look forward to a better year.
