This week in Android: Under-display selfie cams and cheap 5G phones

This week at OPPO’s annual Innovation Day in China we got a glimpse at the future with impressive under-display selfie cam technology. We also got some details about the OPPO Find X2, which is the follow up to one of the most interesting phones from last year, the OPPO Find X.

We also got our first taste of 2020’s upcoming wave of 5G phones powered by Qualcomm’s latest processors. The Redmi K30 sports the new Snapdragon 765G processor with a built-in 5G modem, at prices starting below $300 (just in China, for now).

On the review side, we had a look at two smartwatches: the Moto 360 (2019 edition) and the HONOR Watch Magic 2. We also checked out two other devices in the Mi Air Purifier 3 and the Sega Genesis Mini, which could be a great gift for the holidays.
