MOTOROLA WITH TWO NEW DEVICES
Moto G Stylus 5G
A year ago, Motorola presented the Moto G Stylus, a smartphone that can also be operated with a small stylus. Now the appropriate 5G model has been presented in the first markets – Germany is not yet one of them . It offers 256 GB of storage space and costs just under 340 euros based on Android 11. The display is 6.8 inches (1,080 x 2,400 pixels), but unfortunately only the comparatively weak Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 5G processor is used. This is joined by 6 GB of RAM and a quadruple camera on the back (48 + 8 + 5 + 2 megapixels). A 16-megapixel camera is available at the front.
Meanwhile, the Motorola Defy is experiencing a surprising comeback . This smartphone saw the light of day for the first time in 2010, and it is now back on the market in a modern interpretation – as an outdoor smartphone with a 5-inch screen. It was developed together with the outdoor experts of the Bullitt Group (Cat Phones) and is supposed to withstand falls from up to 1.8 meters. It should also be waterproof in salt water and offers plenty of energy reserves with a 5,000 mAh battery. The centerpiece is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 662, which is supported by 4 GB of RAM. The internal memory can hold 64 GB of data and can be expanded with a microSD card if required. The price for the introduction in the coming weeks should be 329 euros. Android 10 is installed ex works, but an upgrade to Android 11 is firmly planned. There are three cameras on the back (48 + 2 + 2 megapixels), and an 8 megapixel sensor in the front.

NOKIA: FOUR NEW CELL PHONES – 2 X SMARTPHONES, 2 X FEATURE PHONES
Nokia C01 Plus
HMD Global has decided to bring another entry-level phone to the market with the Nokia C01 Plus. A model that is equipped with a comparatively small display (5.45 inches, 740 x 1,440 pixels). A 5-megapixel camera is installed in the front and rear, the internal memory is limited to 32 GB – but can be expanded by up to 128 GB via a microSD card. In addition, there is a meager 1 GB RAM and the Unisoc model SC9863a with a clock frequency of up to 1.6 GHz. Android 11 Go is installed as the operating system. In Russia, the smartphone costs the equivalent of around 75 euros. It is unclear whether it will also come to Germany. However, due to the poor equipment, it should not find a huge sale anyway.
Nokia C20 Plus
The new Nokia C20 Plus is reserved for the Chinese market for the time being . For just under 90 euros, this phone has a 6.5-inch screen, two cameras on the back (8 + 2 megapixels) and 32 GB of expandable storage space on board. The SC9863a is also integrated here as the processor, flanked by 3 GB of RAM. The front selfie camera has a resolution of up to 5 megapixels. The operating system of this budget smartphone is Android 11 in the Go edition, the battery has a capacity of 4,950 mAh. There is still no information about a possible introduction in Germany for this smartphone model either.
Nokia 110 4G
Much easier to set up: the new feature phones from Nokia. The Nokia 110 4G is available in black-gray, yellow and turquoise and, unlike its predecessor Nokia 110, also allows the use of LTE networks including access to VoLTE and HD Voice . It has a 1.8-inch screen and also has physical number buttons. A simple QVGA camera for snapshots is integrated on the back. All of the simplest mobile phone products that are offered in Germany at a price of 39.90 euros.
Nokia 105 4G
Even easier and cheaper: the Nokia 105 4G for 34.90 euros. It is available in gray-black, turquoise, and red, but does not provide access to a camera. The rest of the equipment based on the Unisoc T107 processor and 128 MB RAM are largely identical. Both feature phone models are primarily intended to be able to make phone calls. A radio and a flashlight are also available as extras in both phones. Both devices are also equipped with a removable battery.
UMIDIGI POWER 5: FULL OF ENERGY
Are you looking for a smartphone that has a large battery? Then the new Umidigi Power 5 could be of interest to you. Because the energy storage of this mobile phone offers space for a powerful 6,150 mAh. The other features are decent for the price of around 100 euros : 6.53 inch display (720 x 1,600 pixels), Helio G25 processor from MediaTek, 3 or 4 GB of RAM and 64 or 128 GB of storage space. There is also a triple camera (16 + 8 + 5 megapixels) and an 8 megapixel camera installed on the front. Practical extra: an infrared thermometer that can be used to measure body temperature.
REALME C25S: BIG BATTERY HERE TOO
The Realme C25s would like to play in a similar battery league. A 6,000 mAh energy storage device is installed accordingly. In contrast to the aforementioned Umidigi smartphone, however, the processor is more powerful. Because the MediaTek Helio G85 is installed. Additional features include 4 GB of RAM, 64 or 128 GB of storage space, a 6.5-inch display (720 x 1,600 pixels) and a triple camera (48 + 2 + 2 megapixels) on the back. In India, the equivalent of at least around 110 euros is due.
LEICA LEITZ PHONE 1
In Japan, meanwhile, the first smartphone was the brand name of the German camera experts from Leica presents : the Leica Leitz Phone 1, named after the Leica founder Ernst Leitz. But the phone is not really new. Because it is very similar to the Sharp Aquos R6 that was presented a few days ago . A special feature here is also the huge one-inch sensor on the back. The Snapdragon 888 from Qualcomm is responsible for the drive; the user navigates through the menu on a rounded 6.6-inch OLED display. It is not yet clear whether it will one day also be available outside of Japan. Should it find its way to Europe, it will certainly not be a bargain. Because in Japan the phone costs the equivalent of around 1,400 euros.
REDMAGIC 6R ALSO AVAILABLE IN EUROPE
We presented the Redmagic 6R gaming smartphone to you at the end of May . It is now clear that it will also come to Germany. With 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage space, it costs 499 euros, with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of data depot it costs 599 euros
