Xiaomi’s subsidiary Poco today announced its new Poco M8 Power smartphone in India. It is a big-battery phone with 8000mAh capacity that Poco claims delivers up to three days of power.  

You’d expect an 8,000mAh cell to make a phone feel like a brick, but Poco has kept things surprisingly trim here. The back panel is plastic, with a wide camera bar running across the width of the phone that houses two circular cutouts for the camera and flash, plus the Poco logo. Despite all that battery inside, the phone comes in at just over 8.4mm thick and weighs around 220 grams.

Up front, you get a 6.9-inch FHD+ AMOLED panel running at 120Hz, with peak brightness hitting 1,800 nits and 960Hz PWM dimming to ease eye strain in low light. 

Poco also claims the screen covers the full DCI-P3 colour range. Gorilla Glass 7i sits on top, and the phone carries IP65 protection against dust and light splashes.

On the back, you’re getting a 50MP main camera, while an 8MP shooter handles selfies. Both cap out at 1080p video. Software-wise, the phone ships on HyperOS 3 over Android 16, and Poco is promising four years of OS updates and six years of security patches. You also get an IR blaster and AI tools like Circle to Search along for the ride.

Price and availability

The Poco M8 Power starts at Rs 24,999 for the 6GB/128GB variant, while the 8GB/128GB model costs Rs 27,999. Poco is also throwing in bank offers worth Rs 3,000 on top to sweeten the deal. Sales kick off on August 7, 2026, exclusively through Flipkart.

Redmi K100 Pro early hands-on shows how the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen5V handles gaming

By
Rajesh Regmi
-

Redmi just confirmed that the K100 Pro is the first phone to run the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen5V, a trimmed-down cousin of the chip that’s inside the K100 Pro Max. Now that the phone is out in the wild ahead of its official reveal, tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS) has shared an early hands-on look at how it actually performs. 

Start with the chip itself. The 8 Elite Gen5V keeps the same TSMC N3P process and 4.6GHz dual-core Oryon setup as the standard chip, so the CPU side is untouched. 

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 V-series
Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 V-series

The Adreno 840 GPU is where things are different. While the clock speed is the same, Qualcomm has trimmed the slice count from three to two and Graphics Memory (GMEM) shrinks from 18MB to 12MB. On paper, that reportedly puts benchmark scores at roughly 90% of the full 8 Elite Gen5.

Redmi K100 Pro gaming performance with new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen5V chip

You’d expect that cut to show up in games, but DCS says it barely does. Since the CPU wasn’t touched, frame rates in popular titles are as high as the full 8 Elite Gen 5. 

In Honor of Kings, DCS claims the K100 Pro averaged 144fps while drawing just 4W. Game for Peace hit 183fps at 4.5W, and Delta Force reached 185fps at 4.7W. Even Genshin Impact held a steady 60fps average, with only minor dips during heavy combat.

Redmi K100 Pro Gaming Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen5V

The K100 Pro also has the D2 discrete graphics chip and 185Hz RGB OLED screen found on the pricier K100 Pro Max, and DCS notes that its super-frame-rate performance and latency come close to matching that phone despite the smaller 6.59-inch panel. 

None of this is official yet. Redmi has confirmed the chip and launch date of August 11, but hasn’t detailed the Gen5V’s gaming performance itself, so treat DCS’s numbers as an early, unofficial preview until Redmi shares its own figures.

Honor Robot Phone full specs out a week before launch

By
Rajesh Regmi
-

You’ve already seen the Honor’s Robot Phone robotic arm pop out of the box and heard what the camera is capable of. A new leak from tipster Digital Chat Station now fills in the rest of the spec sheet.

Honor Robot Phone Specifications

Start with the display. Honor is using a 6.3-inch LTPO panel with a 2640 x 1216 resolution, and it’s a flat screen rather than a curved one. Its brightness will reportedly peak at 6,800 nits, and Honor might also add an AR anti-reflective film to keep the screen readable in direct sunlight.

Under the hood, you get the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, paired with a 7,060mAh battery and a 120W charging adapter in the box. That’s larger than the 6,000mAh figure that showed up in earlier leaks, so the battery capacity appears to have changed as the phone neared launch.

Honor is also using a trio of its self-developed chips in the Robot Phone. The device has a C1 chip to handle RF signal enhancement, E2 to manage power efficiency, and H1 to run the imaging pipeline for the gimbal camera. 

The main sensor is a 200MP, 1/1.28-inch unit at f/1.6 with a 23mm focal length, mounted on the gimbal arm. Next to it is a 200MP periscope telephoto with a 1/1.4-inch sensor, f/2.6 aperture, and 2.7x optical zoom.

With the August 12 launch date already confirmed, this leak looks like one of the last spec details to surface before the official reveal. The gimbal camera has been the headline so far, but the display and battery numbers round out a fuller picture of the phone.

It’s flexible on refresh rate too, switching between 60Hz, 90Hz, and 120Hz depending on what you’re doing. Brightness sits at 675 nits for everyday use, and it can push up to 825 nits when you need it in direct sunlight.

Power comes from a 4nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 5, clocked up to 2.45GHz. The software side is handled by HyperOS 3 based on Android 16.

Motorola G Max to pack different specs in India, launch timeframe, price emerge

By
Anvinraj Valiyathara
-

Motorola could soon introduce another G-series smartphone in India. According to a new leak, the upcoming Motorola G Max is expected to debut around mid-August with a different hardware configuration than the version that launched in Brazil earlier this year. The tip also hints at its expected pricing, placing it in the upper mid-range segment.

Motorola G Max India specifications tipped

Moto G Max
Moto G Max

Tipster Abhishek Yadav claims that the Motorola G Max will launch in India around August 15 and carry a price tag of approximately Rs 30,000 (~$315). Unlike the Brazilian model, which is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6400, the Indian variant is said to feature the Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 chipset, which also powers the Redmi Note 17 Pro. The phone is also tipped to come with LPDDR5X RAM, UFS 3.1 storage, and a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-600 primary camera.

Motorola is also expected to offer two major Android OS upgrades and three years of security updates. While this software policy aligns with what many brands currently provide in the segment, the hardware suggests Motorola may be positioning the Indian model differently from its global counterpart.

India variant may differ significantly from the Brazil model

The Motorola G Max launched in Brazil with the Dimensity 6400 chipset, 8GB RAM, and 256GB storage. It also featured a 200-megapixel primary camera with OIS, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera, a 32-megapixel front camera, a 5,200mAh battery with 33W charging, and a 6.8-inch 1.5K AMOLED display supporting a 120Hz refresh rate, Gorilla Glass 7i protection, and up to 5,000 nits of peak brightness. The device also carries IP66, IP68, IP69, and MIL-STD-810H durability certifications.

If the leaked specifications prove accurate, the Indian Motorola G Max could prioritize affordability over flagship-grade camera hardware while retaining premium memory technologies.

The new Glowing Firefly color features a fluorescent green finish that changes its appearance depending on the lighting. Redmi says it has placed a special luminescent material between the glass back and the green ink layer, allowing the rear panel to act as a “light painting canvas.”

After absorbing light from a flashlight or another bright source, the back panel glows in the dark, enabling users to create temporary glowing patterns. During the day, the phone has a translucent green finish, while the effect becomes visible in low-light conditions. Redmi has also matched the metal frame and camera island with the same green color, giving the phone a more uniform appearance. Apart from the Glowing Firefly, it will also have a sliver edition.

Gaming-focused Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 V-series chip quietly goes official

By
Anvinraj Valiyathara
-

Qualcomm has quietly listed a new variant of its flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 V-series chipset on its official website. Carrying the model number SM8850-1-AB, the new silicon is confirmed to power the upcoming Redmi K100 Pro series. While it shares most of its specifications with the regular Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, Qualcomm appears to be positioning it differently, with a greater emphasis on gaming.

Same performance, but gaming takes centre stage

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SM8850-1-AB
Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SM8850-1-AB

According to Qualcomm’s official product brief, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 V-series chip (SM8850-1-AB) features the same CPU and GPU configuration as the regular 4.6GHz Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. It includes two Oryon prime cores clocked at up to 4.6GHz, six performance cores running at up to 3.62GHz, and an Adreno GPU operating at 1.2GHz. The chipset also retains the same Hexagon NPU, X85 5G modem, FastConnect 7900 connectivity system, LPDDR5X memory support, UFS 4.1 storage compatibility, and Qualcomm Spectra ISP found on the standard variant.

The only documented hardware difference between the two versions is Adreno High Performance Memory (HPM). The regular Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 features 18MB of dedicated Adreno HPM, whereas the SM8850-1-AB includes 12MB. Aside from this, Qualcomm lists the same core hardware specifications for both chipsets.

The new gaming-focused version joins three other Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 variants already available. The SM8850-AC is the standard version used in most flagship smartphones, while the SM8850-1-AD is the higher-clocked edition found in Samsung flagship devices as well as Red Magic and Legion gaming phones. Qualcomm also offers the SM8850-5-AC, a 7-core variant powering the Oppo Find N6 foldable. With the arrival of the SM8850-1-AB, Qualcomm now offers manufacturers another option for flagship phones that prioritize gaming performance without changing the platform’s core CPU and GPU frequencies.

SM8850-1-AB (existing, regular version)
SM8850-1-AB (new)

While Qualcomm promotes the regular and the new SM8850-1-AB variants with the tagline “Game smarter, not harder,” the official documentation show that gaming technologies such as Tile Memory Heap, Mesh Shading, Unreal Engine 5 optimizations, Snapdragon Game Super Resolution 2.0, Adreno Frame Motion Engine 3.0, and hardware-accelerated ray tracing are also available on the regular Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.

The Redmi K100 Pro series, which is set to launch on Aug. 11 in China, will be the first smartphone lineup to feature this new chipset variant. It remains to be seen whether more brands adopt the gaming-optimized platform in upcoming flagship devices. What seems certain is that the Poco F9 Pro and F9 Ultra, which will be rebranded versions of the K100 Pro and K100 Pro Max, will feature the same chip.

Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, the 17 Max features a 6.9-inch 1.5K LTPO OLED display that reaches a peak brightness of 3,500 nits. Xiaomi also managed to include a robust camera system, utilizing a Leica-branded triple-lens setup with a 200-megapixel main sensor and a 50MP periscope telephoto lens.

It also supports 100W wired and 50W wireless charging. It’s a device for those who want top-tier photography and performance without worrying about finding an outlet by the evening.

2. Lenovo Legion Y70 (2026)

Lenovo Legion Y70 Launch Specs Price

The Legion series has always targeted the mobile gaming demographic, and the new Legion Y70 continues that focus with a practical approach to power management. It pairs an 8,000mAh battery with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor and a 6.82-inch 2K AMOLED display capable of a 144Hz refresh rate.

The Y70 also features a bypass power supply option, allowing the phone to draw power directly from the charger during intensive gaming sessions. This prevents the battery from generating excess heat, which degrades cell health over time. Lenovo is confident enough in this system to offer a four-year battery warranty, promising a free replacement if health drops below 80%.

3. Redmi Note 17 Pro

Redmi Note 17 Pro

The Redmi Note line usually focuses on value, and the Note 17 Pro leans heavily into longevity and durability. For a mid-range price, it includes a 9,000mAh battery paired with the energy-efficient Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 processor.

This phone is built for harsh environments. It carries IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K ratings, meaning it is highly resistant to dust, water immersion, and even high-pressure water jets.

It also supports 22.5W reverse wired charging, allowing you to use its large battery to top up other devices like wireless earbuds or a secondary phone. To ease concerns about battery degradation, Xiaomi offers a five-year battery upgrade warranty for first-time buyers, making it a solid choice for long-term use.

4. OnePlus Nord 6

OnePlus Nord 6 colors

The OnePlus Nord 6 takes a slightly different approach, combining a 9,000mAh silicon-carbon battery with a heavy emphasis on artificial intelligence. Running on the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, it features a 6.78-inch 165Hz AMOLED display and up to 12GB of RAM.

OnePlus has integrated a suite of AI tools into OxygenOS 16, deeply tied to Google Gemini. This includes features like an AI Mind Space for organizing personal data and real-time translation for calls.

The phone also supports Aqua Touch 2.0, allowing the display to remain responsive when wet, and comes with 80W fast charging for quicker charging times.

5. Honor Power 2

Honor-Power-2-Launch-Specs-Price

While an 8,000mAh battery is impressive, Honor has pushed the boundary further with the Power 2, integrating a 10,080mAh battery. Just a few years ago, a battery of this size would have required a thick, heavy chassis. Thanks to its fourth-generation silicon-carbon technology, the Power 2 weighs just 216 grams and measures under 8mm thick.

The phone is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8500 Elite and features a 6.79-inch 120Hz OLED display. It also includes comprehensive durability certifications, including an IP69K rating and SGS five-star drop resistance.

For users who work in remote areas or simply want the absolute maximum time between charges, the Honor Power 2 offers a capacity that was previously reserved for dedicated power banks.

6. iQOO Z11

iQOO Z11

The iQOO Z11 is another strong contender in the 9,000mAh category, specifically featuring a 9,020mAh cell. Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8500, the device uses a 6.83-inch 165Hz display and supports 90W fast charging.

iQOO complements the large battery with software optimizations to improve efficiency. It also features a capable 50MP main camera with OIS. It’s a very balanced device that manages to keep its weight down to 216.5g despite the large internal battery.

7. Oppo K15 Pro+

The Oppo K15 Pro+ rounds out the list as a high-performance option. It features an 8,000mAh battery and is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9500s. The device is built around a 6.78-inch 1.5K OLED display with a 165Hz refresh rate.

Oppo has also included a robust cooling system to manage the heat generated by the high-end processor, ensuring the device remains comfortable to hold during extended use. It also features 100W fast charging.

1. Design and Display

Build and Feel

The Nothing Phone (4b) continues the brand’s signature transparent-inspired styling with a rear notification LED system that gives it a distinctive identity. It features an IP64 rating for protection against dust and water splashes, making it suitable for everyday use. Xiaomi 17T adopts a more premium approach with Gorilla Glass 7i protection on both the front and reinforced back, along with a higher IP68 rating for complete dust resistance and water immersion protection. It also supports dual eSIM functionality in select markets, adding convenience for frequent travelers. While Nothing focuses on visual uniqueness, Xiaomi emphasizes durability and premium finishing that may appeal to users seeking a more refined flagship experience.

Display Quality

Nothing Phone (4b) offers a 6.77-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, 480Hz PWM dimming, and up to 2,000 nits peak brightness. Xiaomi 17T counters with a slightly smaller AMOLED panel featuring a sharper resolution, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, 68 billion colors, 3,840Hz PWM dimming, and an impressive 3,500 nits peak brightness. The richer color reproduction and higher brightness provide a noticeably more premium viewing experience, especially for HDR content and outdoor visibility.

Verdict

Xiaomi 17T delivers the stronger overall design and display package thanks to its superior durability, flagship-grade screen, and premium multimedia features. Nothing Phone (4b) remains attractive for users who appreciate its distinctive design language and vibrant AMOLED panel, but Xiaomi clearly takes the lead in this category.

2. Specifications Including Battery

Performance

Nothing Phone (4b) is powered by the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 paired with 8GB RAM and UFS 2.2 storage. It delivers dependable performance for everyday tasks, social media, streaming, and moderate gaming while promising three major Android upgrades. Xiaomi 17T raises the bar with the MediaTek Dimensity 8500 Ultra, 12GB RAM, and significantly faster UFS 4.1 storage. Heavy multitasking, demanding games, and advanced AI workloads benefit from the more capable chipset and faster memory. The hardware difference is evident in sustained performance and overall responsiveness, making Xiaomi feel closer to a flagship than an upper mid-range device.

Battery and Charging

The Nothing Phone (4b) packs a 6,000mAh battery in India with 33W wired charging and 7.5W reverse wired charging. Xiaomi 17T features a 6,500mAh global battery alongside much faster 67W charging, 50W PPS support, and 22.5W reverse wired charging. The faster charging significantly reduces downtime while maintaining excellent battery endurance.

Verdict

Xiaomi 17T comfortably wins this section by combining flagship-level performance with faster storage, more RAM, larger battery capacity, and considerably quicker charging. Nothing Phone (4b) remains an efficient daily performer but targets a different performance tier.

3. Camera

Main and Secondary Lenses

Nothing Phone (4b) features a 50MP primary camera with OIS and an 8MP ultrawide sensor capable of recording 4K video at 30fps. Image quality is reliable for everyday photography, producing balanced colors and stable shots. Xiaomi 17T delivers a far more versatile camera setup with a 50MP Leica-tuned main sensor, a 50MP periscope telephoto camera offering 5x optical zoom, and a 12MP ultrawide lens. It also supports advanced recording options including 4K at 60fps, HDR10+, Log recording, and 10-bit video. The additional telephoto camera greatly expands creative possibilities, making the system suitable for portraits, distant subjects, and professional-style video capture.

Selfie Camera

Nothing includes a 16MP front camera that records Full HD video and performs well for casual selfies and video calls. Xiaomi upgrades to a 32MP selfie camera with 4K recording and HDR10+, producing sharper details and better video quality for creators.

Verdict

Xiaomi 17T offers a significantly stronger camera experience with Leica tuning, true optical zoom, better video capabilities, and a higher-resolution selfie camera. Nothing Phone (4b) delivers dependable photography, but Xiaomi stands out for users who prioritize imaging versatility.

4. Pricing

The Nothing Phone (4b) is priced around $420 (₹35,000), while the Xiaomi 17T is priced around $700 (₹60,000). The price gap is substantial, placing the two devices in different market segments. Nothing Phone (4b) focuses on delivering a stylish design, clean software, reliable cameras, and long battery life at a competitive price. Xiaomi 17T justifies its premium positioning with a flagship-class display, much faster processor, Leica-enhanced camera system, larger battery, faster charging, and more premium materials. Buyers paying the extra amount receive meaningful hardware improvements rather than cosmetic upgrades alone.

Verdict

Nothing Phone (4b) offers stronger value for buyers seeking a balanced smartphone without entering flagship pricing. Xiaomi 17T justifies its higher cost through premium hardware and advanced features, making it a worthwhile investment for enthusiasts who want a near-flagship experience.

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

Nothing Phone (4b) distinguishes itself with its recognizable rear notification LED design, clean Nothing OS experience, and dependable long-term software support. It delivers an enjoyable everyday smartphone experience while keeping pricing accessible. Xiaomi 17T, meanwhile, focuses on flagship-level hardware with a Leica-powered triple-camera setup, periscope zoom, Dolby Vision display, HDR10+ recording, UFS 4.1 storage, faster charging, and a more powerful chipset. These upgrades create a noticeably more capable smartphone across photography, gaming, multimedia, and productivity. Both devices target different audiences, making the choice depend largely on budget and usage priorities rather than brand alone.

Verdict

For buyers seeking the best balance between price and everyday performance, the Nothing Phone (4b) is the smarter value-focused choice. Those willing to spend more for premium cameras, flagship-level performance, superior display technology, and faster charging will find the Xiaomi 17T to be the more complete and future-ready smartphone.

Casio launches two new affordable solar-powered Edifice EFS-S660 watches

By
Soumyakanti
-

Casio has officially introduced the Edifice EFS-S660 series, a new pair of solar-powered chronographs launching in Japan later this month. The lineup consists of two models: the stainless steel EFS-S660D-1A and the resin-strapped EFS-S660PB-1A, both designed with a clear focus on motorsport utility and compact dimensions.

Casio Edifice EFS-S660 watches

Design Details

Rather than leaning into the oversized aesthetic common in many modern sports watches, Casio has opted for a relatively slim profile. Both watches share the exact same case dimensions, measuring 45.3 x 38.3 x 11.6 mm. This sub-39mm width makes the EFS-S660 series highly wearable for a variety of wrist sizes while maintaining the legibility required of a chronograph.

The primary differences between the two models come down to materials, weight, and color accents. The EFS-S660D-1A features a traditional silver stainless steel case and an integrated metal bracelet with a one-touch three-fold clasp, accented by a blue chronograph seconds hand. Due to the steel bracelet, this model weighs 129 grams.

Alternatively, the EFS-S660PB-1A swaps the metal band for a black resin strap and utilizes a dark gray ion-plated case with a black ion-plated bezel. It features a contrasting red center seconds hand for a sportier aesthetic. The shift to a resin strap drops the overall weight significantly to just 71 grams.

🔌 You’ll NeedSolar charging means no cable to carry, but the resin strap is the part that wears out first. Check resin watch strap replacement price on Amazon →

On the hardware side, Casio is including a solid set of specifications for the price bracket. Both models are equipped with a sapphire crystal featuring an anti-reflective coating, which mitigates glare and provides strong scratch resistance. The watches also feature 100-meter water resistance and a tachymeter around the periphery of the bezel for calculating average speeds.

Internally, the EFS-S660 series relies on Casio’s solar-powered charging system. The dial has a textured finish that still allows enough ambient light to pass through to the solar panel beneath. On a full charge, the watch can operate for approximately five months before the hands stop.

The watch features a 1/20-second stopwatch capable of measuring elapsed time, split times, and first-to-second place times up to 59 minutes and 59.95 seconds. The dial layout includes three standard analog hands alongside three subdials for timekeeping seconds, stopwatch 1/20 seconds, and stopwatch minutes, plus a standard date display window.

Pricing and Availability

Both the EFS-S660D-1A and EFS-S660PB-1A are scheduled for release later this month. They are currently listed on Casio’s Japanese online store, with both models priced at ¥33,000 ($210).

Casio is adding three new watches to its standard collection in Japan this month. The new LTP-B150 series, which is currently available for pre-order and scheduled to ship later this month, features a rectangular stainless steel case and a traditional Roman numeral dial layout. All three models are priced at ¥12,100 (roughly $77).

Design Details

The lineup consists of three variations that share the exact same core hardware but use different straps and dial accents. The LTP-B150D-7B is the metal option, featuring a stainless steel bracelet and a silver sunburst dial. The other two models switch to genuine leather straps.

The LTP-B150L-7B1 comes with a dark navy leather strap and retains the silver dial and silver-tone hands of the metal version. The LTP-B150L-7B2 uses a brown leather strap and incorporates gold-tone hands along with a gold inner bezel accent to differentiate it from the rest of the line.

In terms of dimensions, these are relatively small watches. The stainless steel case measures 31 by 22 millimeters and is 7.5 millimeters thick. Because of the different band materials, the overall weight varies significantly between the models.

The stainless steel bracelet version weighs 58 grams and is designed to fit wrists between 125mm and 185mm. The two leather strap versions drop the weight down to just 25 grams and fit wrists ranging from 130mm to 180mm.

🔌 You’ll NeedThe steel bracelet version ships full length, so a link removal tool helps get a proper fit. Check watch bracelet link removal tool price on Amazon →

The internal specifications are standard for Casio’s budget tier. The watches use a basic quartz movement with an estimated battery life of three years and an average monthly accuracy of ±20 seconds.

The dial is covered by standard mineral glass, and the cases have a daily water resistance rating. This means they can handle light splashes from washing your hands or walking in the rain, but they are not designed for swimming or full submersion.

Find X10 Ultra’s 10x optical zoom camera may use Samsung GNB or OmniVision OV51A

By
Anvinraj Valiyathara
-

Recent reports have revealed that the Oppo Find X10 Ultra will feature dual periscope telephoto cameras. One of them is expected to offer 10x optical zoom. Now, a new leak from tipster Digital Chat Station claims that Oppo is evaluating either Samsung or OmniVision sensors for the 10x periscope camera.

Oppo Find X10 Ultra to support 10x optical zoom

As per the new leak, the Oppo Find X10 Ultra is currently being tested with a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera capable of 10x optical zoom. The tipster claims Oppo is evaluating two different sensors for the module. One prototype reportedly uses Samsung’s ISOCELL GNB sensor, while another is said to feature the OmniVision OV51A. Both sensors are expected to measure approximately 1/1.95 inches.

The leak further states that the periscope camera will continue to support telephoto macro photography, allowing users to capture close-up subjects without relying on the primary camera. If the final hardware retains the rumored 10x optical zoom, it would mark one of the most notable telephoto upgrades in the Find series.

The latest information builds on earlier reports that claimed the Find X10 Ultra would feature a 200-megapixel LOFIC main camera alongside a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera with upgraded optical image stabilization. The device I also expected to feature a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera and a 50-megapixel front-facing camera.

Beyond its cameras, the phone is rumored to feature a 6.89-inch 2K LTPO BOE display with ultra-narrow symmetrical bezels, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chipset, and an approximately 8,500mAh battery. The Find X10 Ultra is also expected to target the ultra-premium segment with pricing similar to the Find N6.

While the Find X10, Find X10 Pro, and Find X10 Pro Max are expected to launch in China this September, the Ultra variant is likely to arrive at a later date, probably in the coming year.

Upcoming Lenovo Googlebook 15 leaked renders reveal a premium design, Android-inspired UI, and Gemini key

By
Anvinraj Valiyathara
-

Google introduced the Googlebook platform at its I/O 2026 event in May, marking the beginning of a new chapter for its laptop ecosystem. At the time, the company confirmed it was working with Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, and Lenovo to develop the first wave of Googlebooks. Now, a new report from Digital Citizen has shared what appears to be the first complete look at Lenovo’s upcoming Googlebook 15, revealing both its hardware design and several software details.

Lenovo Googlebook 15’s design revealed

The leaked renders suggest the Lenovo Googlebook 15 adopts a premium design with slim display bezels, a silver finish, and a large trackpad. One of the biggest changes is the keyboard, which replaces the traditional Windows key with a dedicated Google key that is expected to provide quick access to Gemini.

The function row also includes dedicated shortcuts for screenshot, microphone mute, accessibility, brightness, keyboard backlight, media controls, and what appears to be a profile switch button. Unlike many 15-inch laptops, the device skips a numeric keypad in favour of a centred keyboard layout.

The report also reveals a generous selection of ports, including HDMI, dual USB-C ports, USB-A, a card reader, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Other hardware highlights include a webcam notch with a built-in physical privacy shutter, Dolby Atmos branding, speaker grilles on both sides of the keyboard, and a display hinge that opens up to 157.5 degrees.

While the hardware is interesting, Google’s software experience could be the biggest change. At I/O 2026, Google revealed that Googlebook combines Android and ChromeOS into a single desktop platform built on Android’s technology stack. This allows Android apps to run natively while enabling direct access to files stored on an Android phone through Quick Access.

Google also introduced Magic Pointer, which brings Gemini into everyday interactions by offering contextual actions based on where the cursor is placed. Other announced features include Create Your Widget, which lets Gemini generate personalized desktop widgets using information from apps such as Gmail and Google Calendar.

The leaked interface appears to match Google’s preview, showing an Android-style status bar, a redesigned taskbar, Gemini integration, and several Google apps alongside Adobe Premiere Pro, hinting that Googlebook is targeting more demanding workflows than traditional Chromebooks.

Lenovo is to announce the Googlebook 15 officially, and specifications such as the processor, memory, storage, display resolution, battery capacity, and pricing remain under wraps. Readers can visit the above-mentioned publication to checkout more images of the device.
