Galaxy S27 Pro battery leak raises questions about Samsung’s S27 Ultra positioning

Samsung‘s rumored Galaxy S27 Pro may still be months away, but it’s already looking like one of the company’s most interesting smartphone releases in quite some time.

A new leak suggests the device could pack a 5,000mAh battery, which doesn’t sound particularly surprising until you look at the rest of the rumored specifications. The Galaxy S27 Pro is said to feature a 6.47-inch display, although the latest leak rounds that up to 6.5 inches. Either way, it would make the device noticeably smaller than the Galaxy S27 Ultra.

To be fair, the Ultra model was previously reported to feature a slightly bigger cell in the 5,200mAh to 5,500mAh range. But battery life isn’t determined by capacity alone.

The Pro’s smaller display should consume less power in day-to-day use, and Samsung may also opt for a slightly more conservative performance profile to better manage heat in the smaller chassis. If that happens, the gap in real-world battery life could end up being much smaller than the battery capacities suggest. In fact, the S27 Pro could potentially match, or even exceed, the Ultra’s endurance in certain usage scenarios.

For those wondering, the S27 Pro is also rumored to use the same Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chipset as the Galaxy S27 Ultra. That means the two devices should benefit from similar efficiency gains at the silicon level.

The camera situation could be just as interesting.

Leaks suggest Samsung may bring the same main and ultra-wide sensors set to be used in the Ultra to the Pro model, while also adding a 50MP 3.5x ALoP telephoto camera.

The Ultra, on the other hand, is rumored to retire its 3x 10MP telephoto lens and rely on sensor cropping from the main 200MP camera up to 5x zoom. If that’s the case, the S27 Pro’s dedicated 3.5x telephoto camera could prove more useful for day-to-day photography.

Samsung will likely position the Ultra as the ultimate camera flagship in the lineup. But based on the leaks so far, the Pro model may actually end up being the more practical and more interesting option for most users.

Vivo V70 Lite launches quietly, and here’s what it offers under $300

Vivo has quietly launched the Vivo V70 Lite in the UAE. It’s the fourth member in Vivo’s expanding V70 roster. However, there was no big announcement or launch event. The phone simply showed up for sale instead. 

Vivo V60 Lite Specifications

The handset sports a 6.77-inch FHD+ AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 3,000 nits. Tucked inside the punch-hole cutout is a 32MP front camera, while an optical under-display fingerprint scanner takes care of security.

Flip it over, and you get a dual camera setup. The main is a 50MP Sony IMX882 shooter with an f/1.8 aperture paired with an 8MP ultrawide lens. Keeping the lights on is a 6,500mAh battery with 90W wired charging, which is actually one of the stronger selling points here. The phone runs OriginOS 6 on top of Android 16 out of the box.

Vivo V70 Lite Launch Specs Price

Under the hood sits the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Turbo, a modest step up from the Dimensity 7360 in the V60 Lite. The performance cores now tick at 2.6GHz instead of 2.5GHz. That’s a small improvement, but you are unlikely to notice any difference. 

Memory option includes 8GB LPDDR4X RAM, with storage options of 128GB or 256GB, both UFS 3.1.

Within the V70 family, the Lite is clearly the entry-level pick. Its higher-end siblings, the V70 and V70 Elite, bring sharper 1.5K OLED panels, Snapdragon silicon, faster LPDDR5X RAM, UFS 4.1 storage, IP68/69 ratings, and periscope telephoto cameras. 

The V70 FE is the most premium of all with a 200MP main camera and a larger 7,000mAh battery.

Pricing and Availability

Vivo V70 Lite colors

The Vivo V60 Lite starts at AED 1,099 (~$299) for the 8/128GB model and goes up to AED 1,299 (~$354) for the 8/256GB variant. Color choices are black and gold.

Fresh OnePlus Ace 7 leak upgrade specs to 10,000mAh-class battery and Snapdragon 8 Gen 6

The OnePlus Ace 7 has surfaced in the rumor mill once again, courtesy of prolific Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS), who has shared fresh details about the device.

According to DCS, a “high-performance” OnePlus device currently under evaluation is being tested with the SM8845 Pro, currently known as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 6 in the rumor world.

OnePlus Ace 7 Leak 10000mah battery snapdragon 8 elite gen 6

While the tipster did not explicitly name the device, it is likely to be the OnePlus Ace 7 based on the clues provided. What’s different in the latest leak is that DCS had previously claimed the Ace 7 would feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5

OnePlus Ace 7 will have better specs than expected

Moreover, the leak also mentions a 10,000mAh-level battery, contrary to previous reports. Earlier rumors suggested that the engineering prototype housed a 9,000mAh battery with support for 100W fast charging.

OnePlus Ace 6
OnePlus Ace 6

One aspect that remains consistent is the display. The tipster continues to point to a 1.5K LTPS flat panel with an ultra-high 185Hz refresh rate, corroborating earlier information. The screen is said to be a 6.78-inch flat OLED panel with a 1.5K resolution, while the refresh rate could potentially reach as high as 240Hz, although 185Hz appears to be the minimum target.

The testing unit is also said to include an active cooling fan, though it remains unclear whether this feature will make it to the final retail version.

Camera details remain absent from the latest leak. However, given the Ace 6’s dual-camera setup consisting of a 50MP primary sensor and an 8MP secondary sensor, along with a 16MP front-facing camera, a similar configuration for the successor seems plausible.

OnePlus is expected to launch the Ace 7 alongside the OnePlus 16 in China, following the same dual-launch strategy it employed last year. As always, prototype specifications are subject to change before any official announcement.

Rogbid launches SR15 Ultra smart ring with built-in display, vibration alerts & health tracking

Most smart rings on the market right now share the same basic design: a plain metal band that quietly collects health data in the background. Rogbid is trying a different approach with its new SR15 Ultra. Instead of relying entirely on a phone app to show you your daily stats, the SR15 Ultra includes a small built-in display and a vibration motor for notifications.

Rogbid SR15 Ultra

Rogbid SR15 Ultra Specifications

The addition of a screen is the most obvious departure from the standard smart ring formula. By tapping the digital display on the outer edge of the ring, you can check the time, your daily step count, real-time heart rate, blood oxygen levels, sleep data, and the remaining battery life. It’s a practical addition for people who just want to check their basic metrics quickly without having to pull out their smartphone and open an app.

Despite the screen, the ring maintains a standard wearable form factor. It is constructed from a titanium alloy to keep the weight down and comes in Black, Silver, and Gold finishes. Sizing ranges from US 8 to 14.

Rogbid SR15 Ultra

Alongside the display, Rogbid has managed to fit a haptic motor inside the chassis. You can set the ring to vibrate for incoming phone calls, text messages, social media alerts, and silent alarms. Additionally, the device supports basic gesture controls. You can use specific hand movements to interact with connected smartphone apps, which allows for things like scrolling through short-form video feeds hands-free.

For health tracking, the SR15 Ultra covers the usual metrics you would expect from a modern wearable. It monitors heart rate and blood oxygen (SpO2) continuously, tracks heart rate variability (HRV), and logs light and deep sleep stages overnight. All of this data syncs to a companion app over Bluetooth 5.2, which works with iOS 10.0 and newer or Android 9.0 and newer. Rogbid also does not charge a monthly subscription fee to view your historical health data or fitness reports.

Rogbid SR15 Ultra

The ring is rated IP68 and 5ATM for water resistance, meaning it is perfectly fine to wear in the shower, while washing hands, or during a swim. Battery life is fairly standard for this category, lasting up to five days on a single charge. However, it ships with a magnetic wireless charging case that holds about seven extra charges, pushing the total time away from a wall plug to around a month.

Pricing and Availability

The Rogbid SR15 Ultra is available now through the company’s online store. It is currently priced at $99.99.

In related news, Rogbid recently introduced the GeoX2 smartwatch, featuring dual-band GPS, military-grade durability, and up to 15 days of battery life.

Galaxy Z Fold 8, Fold 8 Ultra, and Flip 8 case images all but confirm Samsung’s design changes

A fresh round of accessory leaks from case maker Thinborne may have given us an early look at Samsung‘s next foldables, including the Galaxy Z Flip 8, Galaxy Z Fold 8, and the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra.

The case for the Galaxy Z Flip 8 looks fairly unsurprising. Based on the leaked renders, Samsung doesn’t appear to be making any major changes to the overall design.

The Fold lineup is where things start to get more interesting.

We have been seeing renders and dummy units of the wider Fold model for some time now, but the leaked cases add another piece of evidence pointing in the same direction.

The fact that accessory makers are already producing cases based on these dimensions also lends some credibility to the rumors. Case manufacturers typically work from supply chain information and early device measurements, which suggests the wider aspect ratio and revised camera layout we’ve been seeing in leaks may be reasonably close to the final product.

Samsung’s tall and narrow Fold design has its fans, but several competing foldables have already moved toward wider displays, and the response has generally been positive.

The wider form factor may also give Samsung more room to differentiate an “Ultra” model without completely reworking the formula.

According to current rumors, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra could be slightly slimmer than the Fold 7 while packing a larger 5,000mAh battery, a notable jump from the 4,400mAh capacity Samsung has used for several generations.

The Fold 8 Ultra case image doesn’t reveal much on its own, but it does support the idea that Samsung is focusing on refinement rather than a dramatic redesign.

One detail that stood out, however, is the mention of Samsung’s Carbon Standing Case. It has a built-in stand makes a lot of sense on a large foldable, particularly for watching videos, video calls, or using the device at a desk.

Taken together, the leaks suggest Samsung is continuing to expand its foldable strategy rather than simply releasing yearly upgrades.

Samsung is expected to unveil the new foldables during its next Galaxy Unpacked event next month.

iPhone 18 Pro dummies offer a sneak peek at the chassis, reaffirm bolder color options

Fresh leaks are giving us what may be our best look yet at Apple‘s iPhone 18 Pro lineup. Images shared online show alleged iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max dummy units in four finishes: Dark Cherry, Light Blue, Black, and Silver.

If the leaks are accurate, Apple could be moving away from the conservative color palette that has defined the Pro lineup for years. That’s not entirely surprising after the positive reaction to last year’s Cosmic Orange finish.

Beyond the new colors, there doesn’t seem to be much happening on the outside. The dummy units closely resemble the iPhone 17 Pro, with the same overall shape and familiar camera layout. At least based on what’s leaked so far, Apple appears to be sticking with a design that already works rather than reinventing it.

The latest batch of images also includes what look like rear chassis components, complete with SIM trays and internal hardware. As always with supply-chain leaks, there’s room for skepticism. These could be early test units or even accessory-related mockups. Still, the fact that the colors line up across multiple leaked parts has made some observers take the reports more seriously.

Most of the big changes are expected to happen under the hood. Rumors continue to point to an A20 Pro chip built on a 2nm process, camera upgrades, and possible tweaks to the Dynamic Island. None of that has been confirmed, but it’s broadly in line with what analysts and supply-chain sources have been suggesting for months.

There’s also growing expectation that Apple will introduce its long-rumored foldable iPhone alongside the iPhone 18 family in September 2026. Whether it ends up being called the iPhone Fold, iPhone Ultra, or something else entirely remains an open question.

For now, the color options are generating most of the conversation. Apple’s Pro models have traditionally played it safe, so a darker red finish and a brighter blue could help the lineup feel a little more distinctive. If these leaks hold up, the iPhone 18 Pro may end up feeling familiar in design but noticeably different in personality—and for many users, that might be enough.

DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Available at Giztop: Price, Features, and Creator Combo Details

The DJI Osmo Pocket 4 is now available through Giztop, with the standard version priced at $639. Buyers looking for additional accessories and creator-focused tools can also opt for the Creator Combo, which is available at an additional cost. Designed for vloggers, travelers, and content creators, the Osmo Pocket 4 combines a large 1-inch sensor, advanced stabilization, intelligent autofocus, and built-in storage in a compact pocket-friendly body. Despite its small size, DJI has packed the device with several professional-grade features aimed at delivering high-quality photos and videos with minimal effort. 

Large 1-Inch Sensor for Better Image Quality

One of the biggest highlights of the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 is its 1-inch CMOS sensor paired with an f/2.0 aperture. This setup helps capture more light, resulting in clearer photos and videos, especially in low-light environments.

The larger sensor also improves portrait shots by producing more natural-looking backgrounds and better subject separation. Whether shooting indoors, at sunset, or during nighttime events, users can expect improved detail and balanced exposure.

4K 240fps Slow-Motion Recording

For users who enjoy cinematic slow-motion videos, the Osmo Pocket 4 supports recording at up to 4K resolution and 240 frames per second. This allows creators to slow down fast-moving moments while maintaining sharp image quality.

From sports and travel clips to everyday family moments, the high-frame-rate mode helps capture details that would otherwise be missed.

Professional Color and Dynamic Range

DJI has equipped the camera with support for 14 stops of dynamic range and 10-bit D-Log recording. This combination helps preserve more details in bright and dark areas of a scene.

The enhanced color depth provides richer tones and smoother color transitions, making the footage more flexible for editing and color grading.

Improved Tracking and Autofocus

The Osmo Pocket 4 features DJI’s updated ActiveTrack technology, which can track subjects even when using up to 4x zoom. The next-generation Intelligent Autofocus system keeps subjects sharp while moving.

Users can take advantage of Subject Lock Tracking to automatically follow a selected person or object. The Registered Subject Priority feature can also prioritize pre-selected subjects, making content creation easier and more reliable.

Smooth Footage With 3-Axis Stabilization

DJI continues to use its proven 3-axis mechanical gimbal stabilization system to reduce shakes and vibrations during recording.

Whether walking, running, or filming moving subjects, the stabilization system helps deliver smooth and steady footage. Multiple gimbal modes are also available to suit different shooting styles.

107GB Built-In Storage

Unlike many compact cameras that require a memory card, the Osmo Pocket 4 comes with 107GB of built-in storage.

DJI says the storage system supports transfer speeds of up to 800MB/s, allowing users to quickly move files to other devices. The built-in storage also simplifies shooting by eliminating the need to manage memory cards.

OsmoAudio 4-Channel Recording

The camera supports direct connection with DJI Mic transmitters through OsmoAudio technology. It can record up to four audio channels simultaneously, capturing both voice and environmental sound.

This setup provides greater flexibility during editing, as supported video editing software can process each audio channel separately.

Quick Zoom Control

The Osmo Pocket 4 supports 2x lossless zoom, allowing users to get closer to subjects without a noticeable loss in image quality. A single tap lets users switch between 1x and 2x views for faster framing adjustments.

Hisense A10 E-Ink phone finally teases a comeback after three years

Hisense has started teasing a new E-Ink smartphone, signalling its return to a niche category that has seen little activity in recent years. The company recently shared promotional material for the upcoming Hisense A10, suggesting that the device may finally be nearing its official debut after a lengthy development cycle.

Hisense begins teasing the A10

A teaser shared through the company’s E Ink-focused social media channel describes the upcoming device as the result of three years of work. The promotional image also highlights a slim design, with Hisense claiming the phone is thinner than many might expect. However, the teaser stops short of revealing key hardware details, leaving questions about the device’s final design and display configuration unanswered.

The A10 is expected to succeed the Hisense A9, which was introduced in 2022. That model featured a 6.1-inch E Ink display with a pixel density of 300ppi and was positioned as a reading-focused smartphone. Since then, Hisense has remained largely absent from the E Ink smartphone market, making the A10 one of the company’s most anticipated niche products.

Hisens A9 E-ink phone
Hisens A9 E-ink phone

Hisense had previously indicated that the A10 could arrive around the middle of 2026. While the company has now started teasing the device, it has yet to confirm a launch date or reveal detailed specifications. The latest teaser also does not clarify whether the phone will feature a single E-Ink screen or adopt a dual-display approach similar to some earlier concepts.

Separate reports circulating online claim the Hisense A10 could feature a 7-inch Carta 1300 E Ink display with 300ppi resolution, a Snapdragon processor, 6GB RAM, 128GB storage and a 4,500mAh battery. However, these specifications remain unofficial and should be treated with caution until confirmed by the company.

Xiaomi 17T series includes highest silicon content in Xiaomi’s history, retains 80% capacity after 1600 cycles

Xiaomi’s upcoming 17T series is being positioned as one of its most ambitious mid-range pushes yet, with a focus on battery life and camera upgrades ahead of its China launch.

Both the 17T and 17T Pro were already launched globally on May 28 and are currently rolling out across select markets outside China.

Xiaomi has also started teasing the 17T series for China, highlighting its silicon-carbon battery design and claiming a 16% silicon content, the highest the company has used so far.

Globally, the standard model comes with a 6,500mAh battery, while the Pro variant steps up to 7,000mAh. Xiaomi’s teasers for China also reiterate the 7,000mAh figure for the series. The company claims up to 1.88 days of typical use, along with 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging on the Pro. It also rates the battery to retain 80% capacity after 1,600 charge cycles.

Design-wise, the phones lean into a cleaner flagship-style look with a curved frame, slim bezels, and a flat display. The 17T Pro runs on MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500 chip, built on a 3nm process, with gains in GPU performance and efficiency over the previous generation.

Camera hardware is again co-developed with Leica. The Pro model is said to include a triple setup led by a 50MP main sensor, a 5x periscope telephoto lens, and an ultra-wide shooter. Zoom support goes up to 120x digitally, with Leica color tuning and multiple shooting modes carried over from earlier collaborations.

The series is scheduled to debut in China on June 8. Xiaomi is positioning the 17T line closer to its flagship tier, mainly on the strength of battery life and imaging upgrades.

Infinix India reportedly loses its CEO as shipments slow down

Infinix India appears to be navigating a challenging phase, with reports suggesting significant leadership changes alongside slowing smartphone shipments. According to a report by Digit, the brand is dealing with internal restructuring, a reduced launch schedule and increasing pressure in India’s highly competitive smartphone market.

Leadership uncertainty at Infinix India

The report claims that Anish Kapoor, who headed Infinix India’s operations, is on his way out of the company. Citing multiple industry sources, Digit stated that Kapoor may have resigned earlier this year and is no longer associated with the brand.

While neither Infinix nor parent company Transsion Holdings has officially confirmed the development, sources suggest differences in strategy between the India team and the company’s Chinese leadership may have contributed to the separation.

The reported uncertainty has also coincided with employee movement across departments, with some members of the product and marketing teams said to be joining competing smartphone brands.

Although day-to-day operations reportedly continue as normal, the situation appears to have affected the company’s product roadmap. Between January and May 2026, Infinix launched only a limited number of smartphones compared to the same period last year.

Market share and shipment pressure continue

Industry analysts believe the slower launch pace reflects a combination of portfolio adjustments, financial pressures and rising component costs. The challenge is particularly significant in the budget smartphone segment, where margins remain thin and competition from established rivals continues to intensify.

Market data cited in the report indicates that Infinix shipped around 2.9 million smartphones in India during 2025. However, shipments reportedly dropped to approximately 500,000 units between January and April 2026. The brand’s market share has also trended downward in recent months, reflecting the broader challenges facing Transsion’s smartphone business in India.

Despite maintaining a strong presence in several international markets, especially across parts of Africa, Transsion’s outlook in India remains uncertain. Analysts expect the company to face continued pressure throughout 2026, making leadership stability and product strategy critical factors in determining Infinix’s next phase of growth.

Vivo X Fold 6 could pack a 6,900mAh battery, reveals 3C certification

Vivo is expected to announce the Vivo X Fold 6 foldable phone this month in China. Given that the 618 (June 18) shopping event is fast approaching, the company may unveil it after the festival, suggesting it could break cover by the end of this month. Ahead of the launch, the rumor mill has been actively revealing its key details. The latest leak, courtesy of tipster Experience More, reveals its battery capacity.

Several reports have claimed that the Vivo X Fold 6 will house a massive 7,000mAh battery. Now, the tipster has shared the above image to reveal that the device’s dual-cell battery was approved earlier this year by China’s 3C authority.

The certification reveals that the Vivo X Fold 6 will feature a dual-cell battery (2,807mAh + 3,863mAh), offering a combined rated value of 6,670mAh. Therefore, it is likely that its typical capacity could be 6,900mAh.

The above screenshot also shows an 8,905mAh battery (rated value) that was approved by China’s 3C authority in May. This battery, which is expected to have a typical capacity of 9,100mAh, may power an upcoming Vivo or iQOO smartphone.

Coming back to the Vivo X Fold 6, it has two major competitors in the Chinese market, namely the Oppo Find N6 and Honor Magic V6. The Find N6 houses a 6,000mAh battery, whereas the Magic V6 has a 6,850mAh battery. However, the 1TB variant of the V6 features a larger 7,150mAh battery. The Find N6’s global version has the same battery as its Chinese edition, but the Magic V6’s global version packs a smaller 6,660mAh battery.

In terms of other specifications, the Vivo X Fold 6 is said to be equipped with the Dimensity 9500, which is currently MediaTek’s most powerful chipset. On the back, it will feature a round camera module comprising a 200-megapixel main camera, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera.

For security, the X Fold 6 will have a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and is also said to offer a high level of water resistance. To recall, last year’s Vivo X Fold 5 packed a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, a 6,000mAh battery, triple 50-megapixel cameras, and IP58/IP59-rated dust and water resistance.

TSMC CEO mocks Samsung for repeating its 10-year catch-up promise twice in a row

TSMC CEO C.C. Wei took a subtle jab at Samsung this week, suggesting the company’s long-running goal of catching up to the foundry leader remains just that: a goal.

Speaking during a shareholder-related Q&A session, Wei expressed confidence that Taiwan’s dominance in contract chip manufacturing isn’t going anywhere. Without mentioning Samsung directly, he mocked a familiar pattern from a rival that has spent years promising to close the gap.

“Twenty years ago, our competitor said they would catch up with TSMC in 10 years,” Wei said. “Ten years ago, they said they would catch up in another 10 years; and recently, they said yet again that they would catch up in 10 years.”

The comment landed as demand for AI hardware continues to push the semiconductor industry into overdrive. While both TSMC and Samsung are investing heavily in advanced nodes, including 2nm production, the reality is that the two companies remain far apart in the foundry business.

TSMC controls roughly 70% of the global pure-play foundry market, according to recent industry estimates. Samsung sits closer to 7%, and despite years of investment, it has struggled to consistently challenge TSMC’s lead in advanced manufacturing and production scale.

A major reason is AI. Companies building accelerators for AI workloads increasingly rely on TSMC not only for leading-edge process technology but also for advanced packaging solutions such as CoWoS. Those capabilities have become just as important as transistor density, especially for customers like NVIDIA racing to deploy increasingly powerful AI hardware.

That’s not to say Samsung lacks strengths. The company remains a major force in memory and is widely viewed as a leader in High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), one of the most critical components inside modern AI systems. Wei himself acknowledged Samsung’s position in that segment.

Still, when it comes to foundry services, TSMC continues to benefit from something that’s difficult to replicate: execution. Consistent yields, deep customer relationships, and a manufacturing ecosystem built over decades have helped the company maintain a lead that rivals have yet to seriously threaten.

For now, Wei appears unconcerned. His message was simple: competitors can keep setting deadlines, but catching up is much harder than predicting it.
