A high end Vivo X100s smartphone model is apparently in the works. But ahead of any official announcement, a fresh leak has hinted at some of the upcoming flagship device’s key specifications. So here’s everything you need to know.
Vivo X100s Specs Leaked
The news arrives from known tipster Digital Chat Station who shared the new details on Weibo (a Chinese microblogging website). For those unaware, the X100 lineup is the brand’s premium grade handsets, so the X100s would arrive as the latest entry in this series. The tipster claims that the upcoming smartphone will feature MediaTek’s most powerful Dimensity chipset.
It will reportedly be equipped with the Dimenity 9300+ SoC. Digital Chat Station further added that the X100s could also sport a flat OLED display that offers Full HD+ resolution. The Dimensity 9300+ is likely an overclocked version of the regular Dimensity 9300, which is a high end chip that powers current gen flagship devices. Reportedly, the upcoming handset will even offer 100W wired fast charging and be powered by a large 5,000mAh battery pack.
This is slightly slower than the 120W fast charging featured in the base X100 model.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite 2024 appears increasingly likely to launch soon, as the tablet has been certified by both the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Denmark’s Underwriters Laboratories (UL).
These certifications reveal some possible specs and features of the device. So let’s take a look at it.

One key detail revealed by these certifications is the battery capacity. According to UL, the tablet is expected to house a 6,840mAh battery (26.34WHr).
However, the certification includes two battery model numbers: EB-BT725ABU and EB-BT725ABN. The first one, EB-BT725ABU, is a larger 7040mAh cell, which might be actually used for the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite.
Support for this detail comes from the device’s FCC certification, which also mentions the EB-BT725ABU battery. Additionally, it confirms that the tablet supports 15W fast wired charging.
Moreover, the FCC listing suggests the tablet will be compatible with the S Pen stylus. Given that the previous Tab S6 Lite also supported the S-Pen, it’s unsurprising that Samsung would include it with the new model.
Considering the compatibility with previous S Pen models, the 2024 version may also have similar dimensions. Additionally, the FCC certification confirms that the device will have an LCD panel.
Additional leaks and benchmarks point towards the inclusion of the Exynos 1280 processor, coupled with 4GB of RAM. The Galaxy Tab S6 Lite 2024 is expected to run the Android 14 operating system, likely with Samsung’s One UI interface.
While these leaks provide a glimpse into the upcoming tablet, official specifications and a release date from Samsung are still pending.

Reportedly, it will feature the same Cortex-X4 primary core as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 which would certainly give it an edge in terms of performance. The chip will be paired with up to 16GB of RAM.
Additionally, the leak suggests that the OnePlus Ace 3V will feature a flat OLED panel boasting a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. All this will be backed by a big 5,500mAh battery with 100W rapid charging.
Moving on from DCS, another leak from last month revealed that the device will sport a plastic frame and a glass back. There’s also speculation about the possibility of both flat and curved-edge screen variants.
While last year’s Ace 2V remained exclusive to China, it was rebranded globally as the OnePlus Nord 3. Therefore, it’s possible that the Ace 3V might be rebranded as the OnePlus Nord 4 or Nord 5 for global markets.
As of now, this is all we know about the upcoming OnePlus Ace 3V smartphone. We’ll keep you updated on any new developments regarding these smartphones.
