Jul 27, 2026

Let’s face it: the golden era of the ₹15,000 budget smartphone is officially dead. If you’ve been paying attention to the tech industry in 2026, you already know the grim reality. We are currently grappling with a relentless global chip and memory shortage, and manufacturers have predictably passed those costs down to us.

Just a year ago, you could snag a highly capable daily driver for under 15K without breaking a sweat. Today? That price bracket has violently breached the ₹20,000 mark.

If you are looking to upgrade in mid-2026, here are the absolute best budget smartphones you can buy right now.

Prev Next

1. CMF Phone 2 Pro

Although a chip price crisis prevented CMF from releasing a new model this year, the company continues to sell the previous version without raising the price. Starting at ₹18,999, the CMF Phone 2 Pro by Nothing remains highly distinctive thanks to its modular design.

It retains the customizable back cover from the first generation, which users can easily unscrew to switch colors or attach various accessories, such as a kickstand, a lanyard, or specialized macro and fisheye lenses.

Beyond the design, it features a 6.77-inch 120Hz AMOLED display that gets plenty bright for outdoor use. Inside, it runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro, which handles daily tasks smoothly and includes an NPU for basic AI functions.

The camera setup is also quite capable for the price, featuring a 50MP main sensor and a 50MP 2x telephoto lens. It runs Nothing OS 3.2, which remains one of the cleaner Android interfaces available, and the company is promising three years of OS updates.

2. Realme P4x 5G

If you spend a lot of time playing mobile games like BGMI or Free Fire, the Realme P4x 5G is built specifically with that use case in mind. Priced around ₹20,999 (often lower with standard discounts), it uses a 6.72-inch 144Hz LCD and is powered by the Dimensity 7400 Ultra processor.

What makes it interesting for gaming is its thermal management. It includes a large vapor chamber cooling system and a very practical feature called Bypass Charging.

When you are playing a game while plugged in, the phone routes power directly to the motherboard rather than the battery. This prevents the phone from overheating during long sessions and helps preserve the health of the 7000mAh battery over time.

3. Realme P4R 5G

For those who just want a phone that rarely needs to be plugged in, the Realme P4R 5G starts at ₹18,999 and includes a massive 8000mAh battery. Realme says it can last up to three days on a single charge, which aligns with what you’d expect from a capacity this large.

Despite the battery size, the phone is relatively standard in its dimensions at 8.8mm thick. It runs on the Dimensity 6300 and has a 6.8-inch 144Hz LCD. It also features an IP65 rating and MIL-STD-810H certification, meaning it can handle minor drops and splashes.

You can even use it to reverse-charge other devices via a cable, making it a useful tool if you carry around wireless earbuds or a smartwatch.

4. Moto G37 Power

Motorola continues to offer reliable phones with minimal fuss, and the Moto G37 Power is a great example. Starting at ₹15,999, it provides a clean software experience with Android 16 and very little bloatware.

It features a 6.7-inch HD+ 120Hz LCD, the Dimensity 6400 processor, and a 7000mAh battery with 30W charging. It also has IP64 water and dust resistance, Gorilla Glass 7i for screen protection, and stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support.

If your budget is strictly under 16k-17k, this phone is a very safe bet. It offers a stylish look with its textured Pantone color options and delivers smooth, reliable performance for all your daily essentials like web browsing, texting, and media consumption.

5. iQOO Z11 Lite

Priced at ₹19,499, the iQOO Z11 Lite focuses on physical durability and software additions. It shares the MIL-STD-810H military-grade rating and IP65 resistance seen on some of the other phones on this list, making it a sturdy option.

The display is a 6.74-inch HD+ 120Hz LCD that reaches up to 1200 nits of brightness, making it easy to read outdoors. It runs on the Dimensity 6300 and includes a 6500mAh battery with 44W fast charging.

The device comes with OriginOS, which includes built-in AI tools for generating text and summarizing audio or video recordings. If you find those kinds of productivity features useful, it’s worth considering.

OnePlus N6x teaser confirms battery, front design

Jul 27, 2026

The affordable OnePlus N6x is locked in for an India launch on July 31, and the company has finally confirmed one of the most important specs: a 7,000mAh battery.

Earlier, OnePlus only said it could last up to 2.5 days without sharing the exact capacity. Now we know it’s 1,000mAh smaller than the 8,000mAh cell in the N6, but still very competitive in the endurance game.

A promotional page on Amazon India breaks down the claimed numbers on a full charge:

About 20.56 hours of video playback
133.56 hours of music playback
25.04 hours of social media scrolling
11.26 hours of video recording

These real-world estimates matter more than just the mAh number.

Charging speed is still a mystery. The N6 supports 45W, so most people expect the N6x to land somewhere close to that. We’ll have to wait for the official reveal to know for sure.

One of the biggest differences between the N6 and N6x is the design. The more affordable model gets a pill-shaped camera island, a notable departure from the rounded-square module on the N6. The front also sees a change. While OnePlus has largely focused on showcasing the rear design of the N6x, one image on the Amazon microsite reveals a waterdrop notch for the selfie camera, unlike the hole-punch cutout used on the N6.

The design changes appear to be aimed at giving the two phones distinct identities, allowing them to target different price segments without looking too similar. The bezels, however, do not appear to differ significantly between the two models.

Color options for the N6x include light blue and burgundy. The slightly smaller battery compared to the N6 could mean a thinner design, better component balance, or simply cost savings, while still offering multi-day battery life in real-world use.

Jul 27, 2026

Qualcomm has already confirmed that its next Snapdragon Summit will be held in September this year. There are speculations that MediaTek may hold its own event a couple of days before Qualcomm’s event in September. The upcoming Dimensity 9600 lineup may include as many as three chipsets initially. Well ahead of the launch, tipster Smart Chip Insider has revealed some key details about the D9600 lineup.

MediaTek Dimensity 9600 series details tipped

According to the leak, the series is expected to include three chipsets: the Dimensity 9600s, Dimensity 9600 Pro, and Dimensity 9600 Pro Max. The Dimensity 9600s is said to be a rebranded version of the Dimensity 9500 built on TSMC’s N3P process, while the Pro and Pro Max variants are expected to use the same chip based on the more advanced N2P process, with differences likely coming from their clock speeds or configurations.

The tipster also claims that the Dimensity 9600s is expected to trail Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 standard version, which is also rumored to be manufactured on the N2P node.

As per a recent Weibo post by tipster Smart Pikachu, the Vivo X500 series will debut the Dimensity 9600 lineup. It is also expected to power the Oppo Find X10 series lineup.

As per a recent report, the standard Find X10 may feature the Dimensity 9600s. On the other hand, the X10 Pro and X10 Pro Max may feature the Dimensity 9600 Pro and 9600 Pro Max chipsets, respectively. A report dating from last month claimed that the Dimensity 9600 series chip will be pricier by around $215 as compared to the Dimensity 9500. If this is true, it will have direct impact on the phone’s pricing, which suggests that the Vivo X500 and Oppo Find X100 series will cost a lot more than their previous generation.

Xiaomi replaces Game Turbo with Game Space, bringing game-specific optimization

By

-

Jul 27, 2026

Xiaomi has started rolling out a major update for its gaming experience on HyperOS by replacing the existing Game Turbo feature with the new Game Space. The upgrade brings a dedicated hub that offers game management, personalized performance settings, and customization tools for supported Xiaomi smartphones.

Game Space brings a dedicated gaming hub

Xiaomi's new Game Space — Xiaomi’s new Game Space

The new Game Space is now integrated into the latest HyperOS builds and is gradually reaching eligible devices. One of its biggest additions is automatic game organization. Once enabled, newly installed games are placed inside Game Space without any manual setup. Frequently played titles are also prioritized, making it easier to access favorite games while keeping the home screen less cluttered.

The update also introduces game-specific performance profiles instead of relying on a single gaming mode for every title. Multiplayer online battle arena games can be configured with high-performance settings alongside Do Not Disturb mode to reduce interruptions during matches. Open-world games can be assigned profiles that prioritize graphics quality while balancing thermal management. Once configured, these settings are saved and automatically applied whenever the selected game is launched.

Xiaomi has added new personalization options to make Game Space feel more like a dedicated gaming center. Users can customize wallpapers, startup animations, and widgets while setting their favorite game characters as backgrounds. These additions focus on creating a more immersive gaming environment rather than improving raw performance.

The rollout is currently limited to devices running the latest version of HyperOS, with Xiaomi confirming that availability will expand gradually. Users who have not yet received the feature will need to wait until the update reaches their compatible smartphone.

Motorola has quietly begun rolling out the Android 17 beta update to the Moto Edge 60 Pro users. It’s one of the very first Motorola phones to receive this major beta update, which has recently been released for Motorola Signature, Moto Edge 70, and Moto G57 Power.

The Android 17 beta update for the Edge 60 Pro is reportedly rolling out in India with the firmware version A171VVH.16. It should soon begin to expand to other regions. This major upgrade has a download size of 5GB, which is larger than any major OS upgrade released in the past for the Edge 60 Pro. However, the changelog doesn’t reveal anything except for the July 2026 security patch and stability improvements.

If you have a Motorola Edge 60 Pro and you’ve already participated in the Android 17 beta program, the update may arrive anytime soon. To manually check for available updates, go to Settings > System updates, then tap Check for updates.

Please note that Motorola usually rolls out updates in batches, and so it can take a couple of days for them to reach all the users. The availability depends on your region.

Once you’ve upgraded to Android 17 beta, you’ll start to notice changes immediately. There’s an updated notification panel and control center, new clock faces for the lock screen, and an updated Settings page. The update also introduces a new volume mixer and upgraded Live Activities that now also work with calls, music, and torch.

We’ll learn more about the new features and changes once we have the complete changelog.

OnePlus is one of the brands gearing up to launch its next-generation flagship phone in the coming months. A new leak, courtesy of tipster Digital Chat Station, sheds light on the OnePlus 16’s design and launch timeframe. Read on to find out what to expect from the upcoming flagship.

OnePlus 16’s design, launch timeline tipped

According to the tipster, the upcoming OnePlus 16 prototype continues to follow the brand’s existing design direction rather than introducing a major visual overhaul. The device is said to feature a 6.78-inch flat display with ultra-narrow, symmetrical bezels enabled by LIPO packaging technology. Under the hood, it is expected to feature the forthcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chipset.

On the rear, the phone is expected to retain a compact square camera module, which debuted on the OnePlus 15. DCS added that the OnePlus 16 is currently scheduled to launch in October. In the comments, when asked whether the device’s battery plan had been finalized, the tipster replied that it is expected to pack a battery of around 9,000mAh.

Responding to another comment about the possibility of the iQOO 16, one of the OnePlus 16’s closest rivals, also launching in October, DCS said it is possible, noting that the late September launch window is already very crowded.

Previous reports have claimed that the OnePlus 16’s ultra-thin bezels will measure less than 1mm and that the display will support a 185Hz refresh rate. It is also expected to be the company’s first phone to come preloaded with ColorOS 17 based on Android 17.

Reports have also revealed that the OnePlus 16’s rear camera setup could receive a major upgrade in the form of a new 200-megapixel primary camera. It may be accompanied by a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera. The handset is also expected to support 100W wired and 50W wireless charging.

Wallhack launches K-001 gaming keyboard with Rapid Trigger, 8K polling & Hall Effect switches

By

Check Rapid Trigger gaming keyboard Price on Amazon

-

Jul 26, 2026

Wallhack, a company primarily known for making glass mousepads, is releasing its first keyboard. The K-001 is a wired, 65% mechanical keyboard that uses magnetic Hall Effect switches. It is designed mainly for competitive gaming, where adjustable key inputs are becoming a standard requirement.

Wallhack K-001 Specifications

The K-001 is built from CNC-machined 6063 aluminum and comes in two standard colors: Natural and Slate. It uses a fixed mounting system for adjusting the typing angle.

The keyboard sits flat at zero degrees out of the box. If you want an angle, you have to use an included screwdriver to attach one of two solid aluminum risers to the bottom, which tilt the board at either 4 or 7 degrees.

Inside, the keyboard uses a tray mount design with a black anodized aluminum plate. There are four layers of sound-dampening material, including a silicone mid-layer and foam, to reduce hollow noises when typing.

For the switches, Wallhack partnered with Gateron to make the KS-TR Linear magnetic switches. The keyboard comes standard with the medium-weight version (48-63gf), though light and heavy variants will be sold separately.

Because the switches are magnetic, you can adjust the exact point where a keypress registers, down to a 0.01mm resolution, and enable rapid trigger features. You don’t necessarily need software to change this; there is a physical stepped dial on the top right of the keyboard that lets you adjust the actuation point and rapid trigger sensitivity directly.

The keycaps are double-shot PBT. Wallhack added a specific light guide to the switches that directs the LED lighting straight up through the keycap letters. The goal here is to prevent the backlight from bleeding out around the edges of the keys onto the switch plate.

On the technical side, the K-001 has an 8,000Hz polling rate and a 16,000Hz scan rate. For software configuration, Wallhack is using a web-based tool called Wallhack Terminal. Instead of downloading a dedicated app to your computer, you use a browser to change deeper settings like gamepad emulation or SOCD rules.

Wallhack hasn’t yet revealed the pricing and availability details.

In related news, Lenovo has recently unveiled the Legion R7 RT75 gaming keyboard with a TFT display and Hall effect switches.

Build and Feel

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra and HONOR Magic V6 are both premium foldables built with flagship-grade materials, but they approach durability differently. Samsung combines Gorilla Glass Victus Ceramic 3 on the cover display, Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the rear, and an Advanced Armor aluminum frame with an IP48 rating for water and limited dust resistance.

Samsung feels more refined for users invested in its ecosystem, while HONOR focuses on practical durability and added versatility.

Display Quality

Samsung features an 8.0-inch Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X display with HDR10+, 120Hz refresh rate, and up to 3,000 nits peak brightness. The 6.5-inch cover display also supports a 120Hz refresh rate. HONOR counters with a 7.95-inch LTPO2 AMOLED panel supporting 1 billion colors, 120Hz refresh rate, 4,320Hz PWM dimming, and up to 5,000 nits peak brightness, while its cover display reaches an impressive 6,000 nits. The HONOR display appears more eye-friendly and brighter outdoors, whereas Samsung delivers richer HDR content and polished color tuning.

Verdict

Samsung wins for premium refinement and display calibration, while HONOR stands out with brighter panels, superior durability ratings, and stylus functionality. Users who value multimedia may lean toward Samsung, whereas HONOR offers greater everyday practicality.

2. Specifications Including Battery

Performance

Both foldables are powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset paired with the Adreno 840 GPU, making them capable of handling demanding games, multitasking, and AI-driven features effortlessly. Samsung ships with Android 17 and One UI 9, while HONOR runs Android 16 with MagicOS 10, and both promise seven major Android updates. Samsung’s chipset variant offers a slightly higher peak CPU frequency, giving it a small advantage in sustained flagship performance. HONOR, however, uses faster UFS 4.1 storage compared to Samsung’s UFS 4.x implementation, helping with quicker app loading and file transfers.

Battery and Charging

Battery life clearly favors HONOR thanks to its massive 6,660mAh global battery, paired with 80W wired and 66W wireless charging. Samsung includes a 5,000mAh silicon-carbon battery with 45W wired, 20W Qi2.2 wireless, and reverse wireless charging. Samsung’s battery is sufficient for a full day, but HONOR is better suited for power users who demand extended endurance and faster top-ups.

Verdict

Samsung delivers slightly stronger flagship performance and a more mature software experience, while HONOR comfortably wins on battery capacity and charging technology. For most users, the better battery life makes HONOR a more practical daily companion.

3. Camera

Main and Secondary Lenses

Samsung equips the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra with a flagship 200MP primary sensor, a 10MP telephoto camera offering 3x optical zoom, and a 50MP ultrawide camera with autofocus. It also supports 8K video recording alongside advanced HDR capabilities. HONOR features a 50MP primary camera, a 64MP periscope telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, and a 50MP ultrawide camera, while recording up to 4K video. Samsung’s high-resolution main sensor captures more detail and offers greater flexibility for cropping, whereas HONOR’s larger periscope sensor provides stronger zoom performance and excellent versatility for distant subjects.

Selfie Camera

Samsung includes dual 10MP selfie cameras for the inner and cover displays. HONOR raises the resolution with dual 20MP selfie cameras capable of 4K recording. HONOR produces sharper selfies and better detail during video calls, while Samsung’s image processing delivers more natural skin tones in varied lighting conditions.

Verdict

Samsung is the stronger choice for photography enthusiasts thanks to its flagship 200MP sensor and 8K recording. HONOR remains highly competitive with superior selfie cameras and an excellent telephoto setup, making it a balanced option for everyday photography.

4. Pricing

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is priced around $2,100 (₹1,90,000), positioning it among the most expensive foldables currently available. The HONOR Magic V6 is priced around $1,300 (₹1,10,000), creating a price difference of roughly $800 (₹80,000). Samsung justifies its premium through One UI, DeX desktop mode, HDR10+ support, long-term software optimization, and a flagship-grade camera system. HONOR, however, delivers similar flagship hardware, a brighter display, a significantly larger battery, much faster charging, stylus support, and stronger durability at a considerably lower price.

Is the Price Justified?

Samsung offers premium software refinement and ecosystem integration, making its pricing easier to justify for loyal Galaxy users. HONOR provides exceptional flagship specifications for substantially less money, making it one of the strongest value propositions in the foldable market.

Verdict

For overall value, HONOR clearly offers more hardware for the price. Samsung remains worthwhile for users prioritizing software experience, productivity features, and long-term ecosystem benefits.

Disclaimer:
Prices are approximate and may vary based on country, region, launch timing, and applicable taxes. Always check whether the listed price is for a China unit or a global/international variant when purchasing.

5. Conclusion

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra excels with its 200MP flagship camera, 8K video recording, Samsung DeX desktop experience, HDR10+ display, Qi2.2 wireless charging, and Android 17 with One UI 9. These features make it particularly attractive for productivity-focused users and those deeply invested in Samsung’s ecosystem.

The HONOR Magic V6 distinguishes itself with IP68/IP69 protection, stylus support on both displays, an exceptionally bright LTPO2 AMOLED panel, a 6660mAh battery, 80W wired and 66W wireless charging, faster UFS 4.1 storage, and outstanding value. It successfully combines flagship performance with features typically reserved for more expensive devices.

Verdict

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is the better choice for users seeking the most polished foldable software experience, premium camera hardware, and advanced productivity features. The HONOR Magic V6, however, delivers a more complete hardware package with superior battery life, faster charging, brighter displays, and exceptional value. For most buyers, HONOR offers the smarter purchase, while Samsung remains the premium option for those who prioritize ecosystem integration and camera excellence.

Ugreen launches FineTrack Slim Duo 2 tracker in the US with Apple Find My and Android support

Check Ugreen FineTrack wallet tracker Price on Amazon

-

Jul 26, 2026

Ugreen has released a new entry into the Bluetooth tracker market, addressing one of the most common hardware complaints about Apple’s AirTag: it actually fits inside a wallet. The Ugreen FineTrack Slim Duo 2 is a card-style tracker that has officially launched in the US and European markets, available through Amazon for $29.99 in the US and starting at €29.99 across the Eurozone.

Ugreen FineTrack Slim Duo 2 Specifications

The tracker features cross-platform compatibility, supporting both Apple’s Find My network on iPhones and iPads running iOS 14.5 or later and Google’s Find Hub network on Android devices running Android 9.0 or newer. However, it can only be connected to one ecosystem at a time and cannot use both networks simultaneously.

Physically, the tracker is very thin, measuring between 1.7mm and 1.9mm thick. It has an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance, so it should survive rain or an accidental drop in a puddle. If you misplace your wallet around the house, you can trigger a built-in buzzer that gets as loud as 110dB to help you locate it, provided you are within a 10-meter Bluetooth range.

The battery life is estimated to last between five and seven years. Because the device is so thin, the battery is completely sealed and cannot be replaced. When it eventually dies, you will have to dispose of the tracker and buy a new one. This is a standard trade-off for card-style trackers, but it remains an environmental downside.

Ugreen also included a couple of extra utilities. The card features built-in RFID shielding to block unauthorized scanning of the credit cards sitting next to it in your wallet. It also supports Left Behind alerts that ping your phone if you leave the tracker somewhere, though Ugreen says this specific notification feature only works on iOS for now.

In related news, Ugreen has recently launched the Max5s headphones with LDAC audio, 45dB ANC, AI-powered features, and up to 112 hours of battery life, alongside an ultra-slim 100W charger that is powerful enough to charge laptops.

Honor Robot Phone unboxing leak reveals packaging design and gimbal camera in action

Jul 26, 2026

Honor’s Robot Phone has been in the news for months — a new leak now adds another chapter to that coverage. A leaked unboxing video has surfaced online on the Chinese social media platform Weibo, showing the box contents before launch.

Honor recently opened reservations for the phone while confirming several hardware details. The reservation announcement followed a string of developments that hinted at a launch soon. The device also recently cleared MIIT and 3C certification in China, and a separate specifications leak detailed the display and chipset ahead of the reveal.

Honor Robot Phone Unboxing

The new unboxing video adds packaging detail to all of this. In the footage, the phone sits on the left side of the box, while the right side carries the slogan “Your First Robot Phone.”

The back of the phone carries a large rectangular camera module, as you may have seen many times by now. The secondary camera and flash sit on the right, while the main camera with its robotic arm gimbal is on the left. Apparently, sliding the lens cover triggers the arm to unfold automatically in 0.8 seconds. You can also see a custom animation on screen the moment the arm extends.

When folded away, the arm sits flush with the body and doesn’t interfere with normal grip. Deployed, it handles 360-degree rotation tracking, automatic composition, and subject tracking.

As for stabilization, the device has a combination of three-axis optical stabilization, the 4DoF gimbal, a dedicated coprocessor, and AI algorithms, reaching CIPA 5.5-level performance.

Honor previously showed off the camera’s real-world output at the Shanghai International Film Festival, where the Robot Phone captured cinematic portraits of festival jury members. With the unboxing leak now circulating and preorders already open, the August launch looks close to confirmed.

Vivo S2 design leaks in live images ahead of India launch

By

-

Jul 26, 2026

Although Vivo hasn’t acknowledged it, previously leaked materials have confirmed that the brand is working on the Vivo S2 for the Indian market. Hands-on photos of the phone’s dummy unit have now surfaced online, thanks to an X leak.

The images show a handset with a matte black rear panel, a vertical camera module tucked in the top-left corner, and a sticker that confirms the “Vivo S2” name. A separate photo places the black unit next to a rose-gold model.

The rear camera setup has two circular lenses close together at the top, while a third round sensor with a light ring around it is placed a bit further down the same module.

The leak also says the device will be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7360 processor, a 50MP OIS main camera with 8MP ultrawide, and a 1.5K AMOLED display that refreshes at 120Hz.

What else do we know?

We have earlier reported that the Vivo S2 has surfaced with model number V2576 in an IMEI database listing.

The S2 marks the return of Vivo’s S-series to India after a long gap. The original tip about the S-series comeback surfaced back in May, when a tipster first flagged that Vivo was working on new S2 series phones for the Indian market. At the time, details on the chipset and specs were still unclear.

More recently, we reported that the Vivo S2 is tipped to launch in early August, while sales are expected to start around mid-August. The report placed the phone in the premium mid-range segment, going up against phones like the Oppo Reno 16 Pro.

The original Vivo S1, launched in 2019, came with a 6.38-inch Super AMOLED screen and a MediaTek Helio P65 chip, priced under Rs. 18,000. The new S2 is expected to bring notably better hardware, though Vivo hasn’t confirmed the chipset yet.

Insta360 X6 retail box leak reveals battery life, accessories, and price ahead of launch

By

-

Jul 26, 2026

New leaks are spilling more details on the Insta360’s upcoming X6 action camera before its official debut. We’ve already covered the camera’s redesign, specs, and pricing leaks as well as its FCC certification, and now its actual retail packaging has also surfaced online, confirming several details in the process.

Leaker Igor Bogdanov shared the first photo of the X6’s official box. It states that the camera can record 8K at 30 frames per second in full 360-degree mode for up to 140 minutes on a single charge. The packaging also confirms two features mentioned in earlier leaks: a low-light mode called PureVideo, and a new swappable lens system called Replaceable Lenses 2.0.

Separately, a Reddit user going by FunnySushi1738 posted several hands-on photos of the camera. The images, which have already been shared widely elsewhere without credit, place the X6 next to the older Insta360 model and GoPro’s now-discontinued Max 360 camera. The comparison shows the X6 is a bit taller than the GoPro but shorter and wider than its own predecessor, backing up earlier reports of a more compact body.

The same Reddit post also shows the back of the retail box, which lists the accessories included in the bundle. Among them is a 2,600 mAh battery, referred to as the Extra Xtreme battery.

Insta360 is reportedly set to launch the X6 on July 30. Based on pricing rumors circulating before this leak, the bundle shown in these images could cost around €789, or roughly $897. A version without the extra accessories is expected to sell for about €589 (around $670) in Europe.

With the packaging now public and a launch date reportedly just days away, official confirmation of these specs and pricing should not be far off.

Keychron launches G6 HE UltraLight Mouse with MagOptic Switches

By

Check Keychron G6 HE gaming mouse Price on Amazon

-

Jul 26, 2026

Keychron has introduced a new mouse called the G6 HE UltraLight in Japan. The mouse uses a symmetrical, ergonomic shape and measures 123.7 x 63 x 41mm. Inside, it runs on a Nordic nRF54LM20A controller paired with a PixArt PAW3955 optical sensor.

The highlight of this mouse is that it has a pair of MagOptic switches on the left and right click buttons. These switches let you switch between optical and magnetic mode. They use electromagnetic sensing, which lets users fine-tune how the input responds, while still delivering the sharp, physical click that regular electromagnetic switches often lack. Keychron rates them for 100 million clicks, matching the durability seen in similar high-end mice such as the M7 wireless mouse.

What’s thoughtful of Keychron is it’s also offering two choices for battery. One has a built-in, fixed battery that weighs 42g. The second version has a swappable battery and weighs 46g, with extra weights available to bring the total up to 52g or 62g for users who prefer more heft. Both draw from a 350mAh cell.

Keychron says the mouse lasts up to 340 hours over Bluetooth, or around 35 hours on 2.4GHz at an 8kHz polling rate, similar to the connectivity flexibility found in the brand’s M2 4K mouse.

On the outside, the shell is made of ABS and PC plastic with a nano-coating designed to resist slipping and wear. The color options for the G6 HE mouse include black, white, or five matte, semi-transparent finishes. That said, the fixed-battery model comes only in black.

Keychron G6 HE UltraLight Mouse Price and Availability

The Keychron G6 HE starts at 11,968 yen (about $73) for the fixed-battery version during its crowdfunding campaign, while the swappable-battery model starts at 14,344 yen (around $87).

The mouse joins a growing group of Hall-effect and magnetic-switch peripherals from Keychron, following devices like the K2 HE keyboard, which also uses magnetic sensing for more precise input control.
