If someone is using an Android phone somewhere in the world and they want to mod it, the XDA forums has a home for them. That's why we open up forums for new and upcoming smartphones so new users and potential buyers can find all relevant information specific to their device in one place. Today, we are opening forums for a bunch of interesting smartphones from four different OEMs, including Xiaomi (the Mi 10T series), Vivo (the Vivo V20 series), Realme (the Realme 7i), and Samsung (the Galaxy F41 and the Galaxy A42 5G).

Xiaomi Mi 10T and Mi 10T Pro

The Mi 10T and Mi 10T Pro are among the three new devices Xiaomi announced yesterday at its event. We already got our hands-on of the Mi 10T Pro, which gave us a detailed look at the overall design. The full specifications of the device duo include a 6.67-inch LCD display, 144Hz screen refresh rate, Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC, up to 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage, a 108MP primary camera (64MP on the non-Pro variant), and a 5,000 mAh battery with 33W fast charging support.

Thanks to their internal similarities, the Mi 10T (code-name "apollo") and the Mi 10T Pro (code-name "apollopro") share a common firmware. This is the reason why we have created a unified section instead of two separate forums.

Vivo V20 series

Vivo's V20 lineup debuted last week in Thailand. The family includes three phones: Vivo V20, Vivo V20 SE and Vivo V20 Pro. The midrangers recently caught our attention, as the OEM actually managed to beat Google to launching a phone (Vivo V20 to be precise) with Android 11 on board.
