Xiaomi 17 Ultra global variant surfaces in real-world photos ahead of launch

Feb 23, 2026

With Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra already in the spotlight, Xiaomi doesn’t appear far behind. Real-world photos of the Xiaomi 17 Ultra global variant have surfaced online, giving us an early look at the device just days before its official unveiling.

The images reportedly originate from a Turkish classifieds listing, where the international model briefly appeared complete with its global model number visible. The listing priced the device at roughly €1,400, though that figure should be taken with caution — early reseller listings don’t always reflect final retail pricing.

The leaked unit is shown in a green finish that Xiaomi is expected to offer globally. Also visible in the photos is Xiaomi’s optional Photography Kit accessory, which adds a physical grip and dedicated camera controls. It’s become something of a signature add-on for Xiaomi’s Ultra models, aimed at users who treat their smartphone more like a compact camera than a casual shooter.

The 17 series is expected to include the standard Xiaomi 17 and the 17 Ultra, with possible special editions depending on the market. Xiaomi may also use the event to refresh its tablet lineup, with successors to the Pad 7 series likely making an appearance.

As for the Ultra itself, photography remains the main focus. The phone is tipped to feature a large 1-inch primary sensor, accompanied by an ultra-wide lens and a high-resolution telephoto camera with optical zoom. The Leica-branded circular rear camera module continues Xiaomi’s established Ultra design language. In the leaked images, the finish has a subtle textured look that gives it a more premium, almost camera-like aesthetic.

Already available in China, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra looks set to be one of this year’s strongest camera-centric Android flagships, especially for users who care more about hardware than software-driven features. Global availability details beyond the launch event haven’t been confirmed, but the early retail appearance suggests Xiaomi may not keep global buyers waiting long.

We’ve already spent time with the Xiaomi 17 Ultra — you can check out our full review here.

Feb 23, 2026

Just days after the Poco X8 Pro and its Pro Max sibling leaked in a fresh batch of renders, the themed version of the Poco X8 Pro has also stepped into the spotlight. The X8 Pro Iron Man Edition has surfaced in official-looking images just ahead of the launch.

As you can see, the X8 Pro Iron Man Edition has a muted grey finish, with gold accents placed carefully around the frame and rear design elements. You can also see Iron Man flying in the rear middle of the phone.

The Iron Man Edition was first hinted at through a certification listing spotted in late January, effectively confirming its existence.

Poco X8 Pro Iron Man Edition Specifications

Underneath the cosmetic tweaks, however, the device will be the same as the standard Poco X8 Pro. So you can expect it to feature a 6.59- to 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution. The panel is rumored to support a refresh rate ranging from 120Hz to 144Hz, along with HDR capabilities.

Powering the device could be the MediaTek Dimensity 8500 Ultra chipset, paired with a Mali-G720-class GPU. Memory options may include 12GB or 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and up to 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage.

Poco-X8-Pro-Iron-Man-Edition-Design-and-Specs

As for the cameras, it is expected to include a 50-megapixel primary sensor with optical image stabilization, supported by an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens. On the front, the selfie camera may range between 20 and 32 megapixels.

Moreover, the device is said to pack a battery ranging between 6,500mAh and 7,560mAh, backed by 100W wired fast charging.

Software will likely be based on Android 15 or Android 16, layered with Xiaomi’s HyperOS. Connectivity features are expected to include 5G, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, an IR blaster, and a USB Type-C port.

Other additions could include dual stereo speakers with Hi-Res audio support, an in-display fingerprint sensor, AI-based face unlock, and possibly some level of IP-rated protection.

Xiaomi 18 series, Vivo X500 lineup may feature new anti-peep screen technology like Galaxy S26 Ultra

By

-

Feb 23, 2026

Upcoming flagship smartphones expected to launch around September in China may introduce a major hardware-level privacy feature aimed at protecting screen visibility, according to reliable tipster Digital Chat Station. This tech appears to be similar to what Samsung is advertising for its Galaxy S26 Ultra, which is slated to launch next week. If accurate, it may represent a shift from software-based privacy tools toward integrated hardware solutions designed to prevent onlookers from viewing sensitive content.

Hardware-level anti-peep display coming to upcoming flagships

DCS tips new “spy-screen” technology on the Chinese flagship phones

According to DCS, domestic smartphone manufacturers are currently testing an advanced “anti-peeping” screen that works at the hardware level. The translated leak suggests that this forward-looking design is being evaluated for next-generation flagship phones scheduled for around September this year.

Unlike traditional privacy screen protectors or software filters, this approach is said to rely on native display technology to reduce visibility from side angles, potentially improving privacy in public environments.

So far, reports suggest that the Xiaomi 18 series powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and the Vivo X500 lineup featuring the Dimensity 9600 are expected to launch in September. Likely, these devices could feature the new hardware-level privacy display if testing proves successful.

Last year in October, Oppo unveiled its Find X9 lineup, and this year the company may introduce the Find X10 series in October, while Honor could follow with the Honor Magic 10 series. Other flagships like the iQOO 16, OnePlus 16, and Realme GT 9 Pro are also expected to debut around the same period. It remains to be seen whether these devices will include the feature.

Galaxy S26 Ultra privacy feature — Galaxy S26 Ultra’s privacy display feature

Recent reports around the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra indicate that the device may introduce a built-in privacy display designed to limit viewing angles at the hardware level, helping prevent shoulder surfing in crowded places. Reports suggest the technology may rely on advanced OLED panel control to selectively obscure content when viewed from the side, instead of using external accessories.

Early information indicates that this feature could offer customization options such as automatically activating during sensitive tasks or hiding specific screen elements like notifications or passwords. If successful, it may encourage other manufacturers to adopt similar solutions, especially as smartphone privacy becomes an increasingly important selling point in flagship devices.

Among the S26 lineup, it is only the Ultra edition that is said to arrive with a new hardware-level privacy feature. Therefore, Chinese smartphone OEMs may offer this feature only on their Pro Max or Ultra branded flagships.

Feb 23, 2026

JapanNext has announced a new 31.5-inch 6K monitor called the JN-IPS326K-HSPC9. The company may not be widely known in Western markets, but this model brings strong specifications aimed at creative professionals and productivity users.

The monitor uses an IPS panel with a 6016 × 3384 resolution, resulting in pixel density just under 220 PPI. It supports 1.07 billion colors, 100% sRGB coverage, and 96% DCI-P3 color gamut. Brightness is rated at 500 nits with a 1500:1 contrast ratio. Viewing angles are listed at 178° horizontally and vertically. The display uses E-LED backlighting, a 16:9 aspect ratio, and a 0.1159 mm pixel pitch.

Refresh rate is limited to 60 Hz with an 8 ms response time, which makes the monitor better suited for office work, design, video editing, and content creation rather than gaming. HDR support is included to improve brightness and color range, though IPS limitations mean it cannot deliver OLED-level contrast.

Connectivity options include two HDMI 2.1 ports, DisplayPort 1.4, and a USB-C 3.1 port with 90 W power delivery for single-cable laptop use. All ports support the full 6K resolution at 60 Hz. The monitor also includes KVM functionality, allowing users to control multiple computers using one keyboard and mouse.

JapanNext has added multitasking features such as Picture-in-Picture and Picture-by-Picture modes. These allow two input sources to be displayed simultaneously while maintaining native resolution and image quality. Other features include integrated 2 W speakers, low blue-light mode, and VESA 100 × 100 mounting support.

The stand supports height, tilt, swivel, and pivot adjustments, including 90-degree rotation for portrait use. This makes it suitable for coding, long documents, and professional workflows.

The JapanNext JN-IPS326K-HSPC9 is priced at €1,399, which is about $1,650. There is no confirmation yet about availability in the United States or other global markets.

By

Feb 23, 2026

Vivo just introduced the Vivo V70 and Vivo V70 Elite, but the company will soon add a third model to the series. A new leak suggests that the Vivo V70 FE may not be far from launch.

According to X tipster PassionateGeekz, the V70 FE could debut on February 28, though the date is said to be tentative. An India launch is also reportedly in the works, possibly with a few changes to the specifications.

Vivo V70 FE Specifications

As for what it bears now, the V70 FE headline’s feature is a 200-megapixel main camera with optical image stabilization (OIS). The rear setup also includes an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera, while the front houses a 32-megapixel selfie shooter.

The phone is capable of recording up to 4K, and some of its camera features include AI Travel Portrait, AI Retouch, AI Best Face, and a Film Photo mode.

On the front, the phone reportedly features a 6.83-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and rounded corners. The design will be available in Muse Purple, Ocean Blue, and Titanium Silver.

Under the hood, the V70 FE will run on the Dimensity 7360-Turbo processor built on a 4nm process. Memory configurations include 8GB RAM with 256GB storage, 12GB with 256GB, and 8GB with 512GB.

On the software side, the phone runs OriginOS 6, with Vivo promising up to six years of system updates and five years of smooth performance.

Keeping everything running is a 7,000mAh “BlueVolt” battery paired with 90W FlashCharge support. The phone also meets durability standards like IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance. Dual stereo speakers round out the spec sheet.

As mentioned earlier, the tentative launch date is February 28th, but it might launch in India on a later date.

A YouTuber bought the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra early for $3300, here are real-life images

By

Feb 23, 2026

A tech YouTuber in Dubai has skipped the usual waiting game and picked up the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra before it’s even official.

Dubai-based creator Sahil Karoul says he bought the phone from a local retail shop in the city’s main electronics market. It’s not something you see often, but thanks to the YouTuber’s luck, he is now sharing videos of the real Galaxy S26 Ultra before anyone else in the industry.

This Galaxy S26 Ultra ain’t cheap

The biggest surprise might be the price. Karoul claims he paid $3,300 for the device. No, the Galaxy S26 Ultra won’t cost that much officially. It’s expected to start at around $1,299 for the base 256GB model. Paying more than double the rumored retail price is likely just the cost of being first.

In his videos, the phone looks production-ready rather than like a prototype. Karoul places it alongside several other high-end devices, including the Galaxy S25 Ultra, Vivo X300, Oppo Find X9 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max.

Karoul also ran a series of benchmark tests on the device. On AnTuTu, the phone reportedly scored 3,720,219 points. In Geekbench, it posted scores of 3,648 on the single-core test and 10,898 on the multi-core test.

Meanwhile, the 3DMark Wild Life Extreme Stress Test showed a best loop score of 6,849 with 53.2 percent stability. As always, early benchmark results should be taken with some caution, especially when the software may not yet be final.

Benchmarks time……. No heating issue#SamsungS26Ultra pic.twitter.com/uVZfwoxZmH
— Sahil Karoul (@KaroulSahil) February 22, 2026

The YouTuber also demonstrated the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s most hyped feature — the Privacy Display — in a live demo. In line with Samsung’s claims, it shifts the viewing angles from the sides to prevent anyone nearby from peeking at your screen.

For now, Samsung hasn’t commented publicly on the situation. Official details will likely arrive at Samsung’s next Unpacked event on February 25, 2026.

Galaxy S26 Ultra’s ‘Privacy Display’ looks surprisingly practical in hands-on demo

By

-

Feb 23, 2026

An early hands-on video, reportedly from Dubai where a retailer began selling units ahead of schedule, gives us a hands-on look at what Samsung calls its new “Zero-peeking privacy”. The feature is expected to be formally introduced on February 25, with retail availability tipped for March 11.

The video demonstrates how the feature works in real-world conditions. Instead of relying on a traditional privacy screen protector, the S26 Ultra builds the functionality directly into its AMOLED panel. Once enabled through the settings menu, the display dynamically narrows its viewing angles.

From straight on, everything looks normal. But tilt the phone even slightly to the side, and the screen darkens significantly. At more extreme angles, it can appear nearly black. It’s not a perfect blackout like some aggressive privacy filters, but it’s enough to make shoulder surfing far more difficult.

For everyday use, that could actually matter more than headline specs. Think reading private messages on the metro, checking banking apps in a café, entering passwords at the airport, or even browsing work documents near colleagues. It’s a small feature on paper, but one that solves a very real annoyance. Leaks also suggest Samsung may allow more granular control, possibly enabling privacy mode on a per-app basis.

Under the hood, Samsung is reportedly using what it calls FlexMagic Pixel OLED technology to achieve the effect. Interestingly, while most premium displays compete on wider viewing angles, Samsung appears to be intentionally limiting them, at least when you want it to.

Beyond the privacy feature, reports of exclusive online-only color options have also surfaced, adding to the pre-launch buzz. If this implementation works as smoothly as it appears in the early footage, the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s “Zero-peeking privacy” feature could end up being one of its most practical upgrades. Not flashier cameras. Not more brightness. Just smarter control over who gets to see your screen.

And honestly, that might be something more people appreciate than they expect.

iPhone 18 Pro could get another selfie camera upgrade in 2026

By

-

Feb 23, 2026

According to a new tip from Chinese leaker WhyLab, the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max could feature upgraded front-facing cameras. The leak claims that both Pro models may switch to 24MP selfie sensors. If that happens, it would be another step up in resolution. The iPhone 17 lineup moved to 18MP front cameras, ending Apple’s long run with 12MP sensors that stretched from the iPhone 11 through the iPhone 16 lineup.

A jump to 24MP would likely improve detail in selfies and video calls, and could also help with portrait shots and low-light performance. That said, WhyLab described the information as a strong possibility rather than confirmed specifications, so it’s still too early to treat this as final.

Previous reports from JP Morgan and supply chain sources have also mentioned the possibility of a 24MP front camera for the iPhone 18 Pro models. If accurate, it would fit Apple’s usual pattern of gradual hardware upgrades rather than major one-year leaps.

On the design front, big changes don’t appear to be on the table. However, the Dynamic Island could reportedly become smaller. Some recent leaks suggest Apple may reduce the width of the cutout by around 35%, possibly by moving certain Face ID components, such as the IR flood illuminator, under the display. This would result in a slimmer pill-shaped cutout while keeping the core TrueDepth system intact.

Earlier rumors suggested Apple might experiment with a top-left punch-hole camera or fully under-display Face ID, but those claims have since been questioned, with some reports blaming translation errors for the confusion. For now, a smaller centered Dynamic Island seems to be the more consistent expectation.

There’s still plenty of time before the iPhone 18 series launches. likely in September 2026, and plans can always change. But if these early leaks are accurate, Apple’s next Pro models could continue focusing on steady improvements to the front camera experience.

Its rear-mounted triple camera setup is rumored to feature a 200-megapixel primary camera, an ultra-wide lens, and a periscope telephoto sensor with 3x optical zoom.

The Magic V6’s other expected features include wireless charging, full waterproofing, support for Beidou satellite communication, and a side-facing fingerprint sensor. While the dimensions of the V6 are not known yet, it is said to be thinner and lighter than the previous generation, which measured around 4.1 to 4.2mm when unfolded, 8.8 to 9mm when folded, and weighed 217 / 222 grams.

Samsung regains top spot in global DRAM market in Q4 2025: Omdia

By

Soumyakanti

-

Feb 22, 2026

Samsung Electronics reclaimed its position as the world’s largest DRAM manufacturer in the fourth quarter of 2025. Data from market research firm Omdia showed that Samsung achieved a 36.6% share of the global DRAM market by revenue after generating $19.1 billion in sales between October and December. This marked a 40.6% increase from the previous quarter.

SK Hynix, Samsung’s closest competitor, recorded a 32.9% market share during the same period. The company reported $17.2 billion in DRAM revenue, up 25.2% quarter-on-quarter. The global DRAM market reached $52.47 billion in Q4 2025, representing a 30% increase compared to the third quarter.

Samsung’s return to the top came one year after losing the lead to SK Hynix in Q1 2025. The company attributed its growth to strong sales of high-value products, including HBM3E (5th-generation High Bandwidth Memory) and DDR5, which are widely used in AI computing and data centers.

Samsung benefited from a 40% increase in average selling prices (ASP) for DRAM due to rising market prices and higher demand for premium server memory products.

Micron Technology, the third-largest player, saw its market share decline to 22.9% in the fourth quarter, down from 25.8% in Q3. China’s CXMT accounted for 4.7% of the market.

Samsung plans to strengthen its leadership by expanding its production of advanced DRAM products such as HBM4 and high-capacity DDR5 memory. The company also aims to meet growing demand for low-power, high-performance DRAM like LPDDR5X in mobile and automotive applications.

LG launches 1.12kg Gram 14 laptop in Japan with 72Wh battery and Ryzen AI chips

By

-

Feb 22, 2026

The new additions to the LG Gram 14 series were first previewed ahead of CES earlier this year, but they’re now officially available for pre-order in LG’s home market. As the smallest option in the broader 2026 Gram family, which also includes 15-, 16-, and 17-inch models, the 14-inch versions continue to focus on portability above all else.

At just 1.12 kg, the new Gram 14 remains one of the lightest laptops in its class. The chassis measures 15.7 mm thick, which keeps it slim enough for daily commuting or travel without feeling fragile. LG has built its reputation on this balance, and that doesn’t seem to be changing.

Big battery in a small body

What stands out more than the weight, though, is the battery. Every configuration includes a 72Wh cell, which is fairly large for a 14-inch laptop this thin. LG hasn’t published detailed runtime figures yet, but on paper, it should comfortably handle a full workday under typical use.

The display is a 14-inch IPS panel with a 1920×1200 resolution, 60Hz refresh rate, and up to 350 nits brightness. It’s not trying to compete with high-refresh gaming panels, but it should be perfectly fine for productivity, browsing, and media.

Under the hood, LG is using AMD’s latest Ryzen AI 400-series processors (based on the Gorgon Point platform). Entry models come with the Ryzen AI 5 435, 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and a 512GB PCIe 4.0 SSD. Higher-end versions step up to the Ryzen AI 7 450 and can be configured with up to 32GB of RAM.

Pricing in Japan starts at JPY 215,820 (roughly $1,392), while the top-tier configuration reaches JPY 349,800 (around $2,255). As always, regional pricing doesn’t directly translate to other markets, so global pricing could look different.

Intel Panther Lake-based versions are expected to join the Gram 14 lineup later in 2026, likely under different model numbers. That gives LG flexibility depending on regional demand and performance preferences.

Global availability details should become clearer in the coming months.

Grand Theft Auto 6 price leak fuels fears of higher launch cost

By

-

Feb 22, 2026

Rumors around the launch price of Grand Theft Auto 6 have resurfaced after a retailer webpage showed a possible price for the upcoming game. Although Rockstar Games has not confirmed any pricing details, the listing has triggered discussions among gamers about whether the next GTA could arrive with a higher-than-usual cost.

GTA 6 price surfaces via online listing

A product page spotted on the online retailer Loaded (via) showed Grand Theft Auto 6 listed at approximately $124.19 for the Xbox Series X and Series S version. The same page also shows a separate PC listing priced around $84.19, even though Rockstar has not officially confirmed a PC launch alongside console platforms. Both versions are currently marked with a notify option rather than an active purchase button, suggesting that these prices may be placeholders rather than final retail figures.

Retailers sometimes upload estimated pricing early to prepare their systems for preorders or to monitor consumer interest before official announcements are made. Since Rockstar Games and parent company Take-Two Interactive have not revealed any pricing details so far, these numbers should be treated cautiously. The presence of a PC listing is also notable, as the developer has not officially committed to releasing the game on that platform at launch.

Speculation about a higher price largely stems from the growing cost of developing large-scale games. Modern open-world titles demand advanced graphics technology, complex AI systems, and ongoing online support, all of which increase production expenses. As industry pricing trends gradually shift upward, some analysts believe Grand Theft Auto 6 could set a new benchmark for standard edition pricing.

However, Rockstar’s previous blockbuster titles launched at traditional AAA price points and generated additional revenue through online modes and extended content support. Until the company confirms details, the reported $99.99 figure remains unverified. For now, the safest assumption is that pricing discussions are based on speculation rather than confirmed information.

Grand Theft Auto 6 was supposed to launch in May this year. However, an update released by the brand a couple of months ago revealed it will go official in November 2026.

A recent report revealed that Oppo may launch the Dimensity 9500s-powered Find X9s in India in the second quarter of this year. According to a recent Weibo post by tipster Experience More, this phone won’t be launching in China, which is a major market for the brand.

Oppo Find X9s: What to expect

According to the tipster, the Oppo Find X9s will not be released in China, as it is meant for Indian and other markets. As mentioned above, this phone will be powered by the recently unveiled Dimensity 9500s chip.

This new chip is a slightly toned-down version of the existing Dimensity 9500, which powers the Find X9. Therefore, the tipster claims that the X9s is a downgraded version of the Find X9.

The Find X9s rumors have revealed that it will feature a 6.59-inch OLED 1.5K 120Hz display, a 32-megapixel front camera, and a 50-megapixel (main) + 50-megapixel (ultra-wide) + 50-megapixel (Samsung JN5 or Sony LYT-700 3x periscope) triple camera unit. It will house a 7,025mAh battery with 100W charging, but it is said to lack support for wireless charging.

It is also speculated that the X9s may not be on par with the X9. The device may ship with 12GB of RAM and 256GB or 512GB of internal storage.

Oppo Find X9s Pro in works for China

The brand is also said to be working on the Oppo Find X9s Pro for China. According to reports, it may arrive with a compact form factor featuring a 6.3-inch OLED 1.5K 120Hz display equipped with an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor.

Its rear camera setup is expected to feature a Samsung HP5 200-megapixel main camera, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a Samsung HP5 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera. For selfies, it may feature a 50-megapixel front camera. This phone is said to have a Dimensity 9500 chip and a battery of around 7,000mAh capacity. It may support 80W wired and 50W wireless charging.

The Find X9s Pro is expected to debut along with the Find X9 Ultra in March in China.

Samsung’s 6G trial hits 3Gbps using ultra-dense 256-port base station

Feb 22, 2026

Samsung has taken another step toward 6G, this time with an outdoor trial that hints at what the next generation of wireless could look like.

In a joint announcement on February 20, 2026, Samsung Electronics, KT Corporation, and Keysight Technologies confirmed they had successfully tested what’s known as eXtreme MIMO (X-MIMO) in the 7 GHz band. The test took place outdoors at Samsung’s R&D campus in Seoul, using a prototype 6G base station equipped with 256 digital antenna ports.

According to the companies, the setup achieved peak downlink speeds of up to 3 Gbps to a single test device.

That number stands out, especially considering that many real-world 5G users rarely see sustained speeds anywhere near 1 Gbps. While peak speeds in controlled trials don’t always reflect everyday performance, the results suggest Samsung is making steady progress in mid-band 6G research.

What makes this different?

The trial focused on the 7 GHz spectrum, which is being considered as a candidate band for 6G because it offers more bandwidth than traditional sub-6 GHz 5G frequencies, while still providing better range than millimeter wave.

The key technology under test, X-MIMO, pushes antenna density much further than current 5G massive MIMO systems. Samsung says the prototype packed roughly four times the antenna elements of typical 5G base stations, but without significantly increasing physical size.

In practical terms, that allows the base station to transmit multiple data streams simultaneously. During the trial, eight parallel data streams were sent from the 256-port system, boosting throughput while maintaining usable coverage.

Mid-band frequencies like 7 GHz are often described as a middle ground. They can handle more data than the 3.5 GHz bands commonly used in 5G, but they don’t suffer from the extreme range limitations of mmWave.

It’s important to keep the timeline in perspective. 6G standards are not finalized, and 3GPP releases that define much of the global mobile framework are expected to evolve gradually over the coming years.

That said, outdoor demonstrations like this move the conversation beyond theoretical modeling. Testing in real-world conditions, even controlled campus environments, provides data that can shape future infrastructure design.

Feb 22, 2026

Back in January, tipster Yogesh Brar claimed that the OnePlus 15s, a compact flagship phone and successor to last year’s OnePlus 13s, was almost cancelled for India. This phone is supposed to be based on the OnePlus 15T, which is expected to launch soon in China. Now, the same source is back to claim that the OnePlus 15s is in the works again.

OnePlus 15s back in works

According to the tipster, the OnePlus 15s is in development again but with changed optics. However, he did not divulge more details about it. To put this into context, the OnePlus 15T is said to feature a 200-megapixel or 50-megapixel main camera accompanied by a 50-megapixel telephoto camera, and it may not feature an ultra-wide lens.

When the tipster claims changed optics, there is a possibility that the 15T may feature a 200-megapixel main camera, while the 15s could have a 50-megapixel primary sensor. At present, this is just an assumption, and it is advisable to wait for further reports to see what the 15s will offer.

It has been over two months since the OnePlus 15R was unveiled in December, and the company has not launched any new phones. It is unclear whether the brand has any device to launch in March, as Brar previously claimed that the Nord 6, which was supposed to launch in that month, has been delayed.

While the OnePlus 15T is expected to hit the Chinese market, the 15s could be planned for the second quarter of the year. Rumors have revealed that the 15T will be a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5-powered device equipped with a 6.32-inch OLED 1.5K 165Hz display, up to 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM, up to 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage, and a battery of around 7,500mAh with 100W wired charging and wireless charging support.

Leaked promo material confirms Galaxy S26 Ultra’s battery capacity isn’t changing

By

Feb 22, 2026

Posters that surfaced online ahead of the February 25 Unpacked event show Samsung claiming up to 31 hours of video playback on a single charge. That’s the exact same figure the company advertised for the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

While advertised playback time doesn’t technically confirm the battery capacity, it does make a larger cell unlikely. The new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 is rated for notable efficiency gains, with improvements in CPU and GPU power efficiency, better sustained SoC power savings, and stronger performance per watt for AI tasks. In theory, that means the chip should draw less power for everyday workloads compared to last year’s model.

Video playback in particular is a relatively light, steady task that doesn’t push peak performance limits. If the processor is indeed more efficient, matching last year’s 31-hour figure strongly suggests the battery capacity remains at 5,000mAh.

Charging doesn’t look dramatically different either

The posters highlight 0 to 75 percent in 30 minutes, which again mirrors last year’s Ultra. There have been whispers of a move to 60W wired charging, up from 45W on the S25 Ultra, but if the real-world time to 75 percent hasn’t changed, the difference may be more technical than practical. Thermal limits and battery longevity tuning often cap the visible gains from higher wattage. In other words, if you were expecting a major battery leap, this may not be it.

That said, the leaked materials do confirm a few other details. The rear camera setup appears largely unchanged on paper: a 200MP main sensor, 50MP ultrawide, 50MP 5x periscope telephoto, and a 10MP 3x telephoto. The front camera is listed at 12MP with autofocus.

Samsung is also promoting a new “Privacy Display” feature, which reportedly reduces screen visibility from side angles. It’s one of the few new additions being highlighted in the early marketing material.

On paper, the S26 Ultra looks more like a refinement than a dramatic overhaul. Whether optimization in One UI 8.5 makes up for the lack of bigger numbers is something we’ll find out once real-world testing begins.
