Most smartphone reviews are written within a week or two of a phone’s launch, when everything still feels fresh. But that’s rarely how people use their phones. A smartphone is something you rely on every day for work, entertainment, photography, gaming, and staying connected. That’s why I decided to revisit the iQOO 15R after using it as my primary device for the past few months.
Since its debut in February, the smartphone market has become even more competitive, with several new contenders entering the premium mid-range segment. Yet, the iQOO 15R continues to promise flagship-level performance, a massive 7,600mAh battery, and a compact design at a price that undercuts many rivals. After living with the Dark Knight variant for months, here’s what has impressed me the most, what hasn’t aged quite as well, and whether it’s still worth buying today.
7So, Should You Still Buy the iQOO 15R?
After using it for a longer duration, my answer is still yes.
The iQOO 15R remains one of the easiest smartphones to recommend if your priorities are performance, battery life, and gaming. It continues to deliver flagship-level speed, an excellent display, dependable battery life, and a premium in-hand feel without venturing into ultra-premium pricing.
That said, it isn’t perfect. Photography enthusiasts will find better camera-focused alternatives in this price range, particularly if zoom performance or low-light photography is important. Likewise, those who prefer a cleaner software experience may still gravitate towards the OnePlus 15R.
However, if you’re looking for a phone that simply refuses to slow down, lasts comfortably through demanding days, and remains enjoyable to use long after the initial excitement has faded, the iQOO 15R continues to justify its asking price.
Four months of daily use haven’t changed my opinion about the phone. If anything, they’ve reinforced it. The iQOO 15R wasn’t just impressive at launch. It’s a smartphone that continues to deliver where it matters most, making it one of the strongest all-round performance phones you can buy in its segment today.

Oppo is expanding its quirky Bubble selfie screen to iPhone users, giving people a stylish new way to take better photos and add some personality to their phones. Originally launched as a magnetic accessory for Oppo phones, the Bubble is now officially getting iPhone compatibility. You can pre-order it now, with sales starting on July 6. It’s priced at 499 Yuan, roughly $70-75 USD.
So what exactly is it? It’s a small, thin circular AMOLED screen (about 1.73 inches) that magnetically sticks to the back of your phone. It shows a live preview from the rear camera, so you can frame your shots properly, check lighting, and get better expressions instead of struggling with the front camera. You can even trigger the shutter from up to 10 meters away wirelessly. The built-in 550mAh battery keeps it going for roughly 9.66 hours, and at just 27.5g and 7mm thick, it’s surprisingly lightweight.
Beyond the practical side, it also works as a fashion accessory. You can pair it with special cases and use it as a bag charm or decorative piece. The screen lets you set custom wallpapers, static or animated, so it can match your outfit or mood. Oppo calls this “Mag E-Badge” mode, basically turning it into a dynamic personal statement.
The Bubble was first introduced with Oppo’s Reno 16 series, which now supports the iPhone X and newer models running iOS 15.0 or higher. It uses a MagSafe-like magnetic attachment and comes with a companion app, which should make it pretty easy to use across ecosystems.
There are a few similar gadgets out there (like Insta360’s Snap), but Oppo’s version stands out with its thin design, solid wireless range, and strong focus on customization.
The OPPO Bubble is currently available in China for 499 yuan (around $70–75) and in select global markets.

It is a familiar situation for anyone in the market for a new smartphone: do you buy the current model available today, or do you wait a few months for the next version?
Right now, in mid-2026, Google has left buyers with an interesting choice. The Pixel 10 series is currently available and offers a very capable experience. It introduced Qi2 magnetic charging, which Google calls Pixelsnap, brought a telephoto lens to the base model, and upgraded to the 3nm Tensor G5 chip. However, recent leaks have already detailed Google’s plans for the Pixel 11 lineup, which is expected to launch this August.
If you are using an older device like a Pixel 7 or a phone with a degraded battery, you might be wondering what to do. Let’s look at the practical differences between the Pixel 10 you can buy today and the rumored Pixel 11 coming later this summer.
If there is one distinct reason to hold off on buying a Pixel 10, it is the internal hardware.
The Pixel 10’s Tensor G5 is a capable processor built on a 3nm process, and it handles Google’s on-device AI features, like Camera Coach and Auto Best Take, quite well. But the Pixel 11 is expected to introduce a more significant update.
According to recent leaks, the Pixel 11’s Tensor G6 will be built on TSMC’s newer N2 (2nm) node. In processor manufacturing, smaller nodes generally translate to better power efficiency and improved heat management. If you often use your phone for demanding tasks like recording long 4K videos or gaming, the 2nm Tensor G6 could offer a more consistent, cooler experience.
Additionally, the modem is seeing a change. Pixel phones have occasionally faced criticism for connectivity and battery drain issues linked to their Samsung-based modems. The Pixel 11 is reportedly moving away from this setup in favor of the MediaTek M90 modem. Having a more efficient modem usually means more reliable cellular reception and better battery retention when you are off Wi-Fi. For people who travel frequently or rely heavily on mobile data, this hardware change alone might be worth the wait.
2. Design Tweaks
Google often experiments with unique hardware features, and the upcoming generation seems to continue that trend. On the Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL, Google included the infrared temperature sensor in the camera bar. It is a functional tool for checking the temperature of objects, but it isn’t something most people use every day.
The Pixel 11 Pro series is reportedly dropping the thermometer. In its place, Google is expected to introduce a small RGB LED array called Pixel Glow in the camera bar.
It sounds similar to the notification lights we used to see on older smartphones, or a scaled-down version of the Glyph interface on Nothing’s phones. While it is more of a visual addition than a strict utility, it could be useful for custom notification alerts or as a soft fill light for photography.
3. Displays and Cameras
If you are expecting a major redesign or a completely new display technology, the Pixel 11 might look very familiar. The Pixel 10 already offers high-quality screens.
The Pixel 10 Pro XL features a 6.8-inch QHD+ display that reaches 3,300 nits of peak brightness. The Pixel 11 Pro XL is rumored to increase that to 3,600 nits. In daily use, especially indoors, you are unlikely to notice a difference. Both generations use 120Hz LTPO OLED panels that are easy to read in direct sunlight.
For the cameras, the Pixel 11 series is slated to receive a new 50MP main sensor and updated telephoto lenses. However, the Pixel 10 already has a highly capable camera system, including a 48MP 5x telephoto lens that supports high-resolution zoom. Much of Google’s photo quality comes from its software processing rather than just the hardware. While the Pixel 11 will feature a new TPU that might process images a bit faster or enable new AI editing tools, the actual difference in photo quality between the 10 and 11 will likely be minimal for standard point-and-shoot photography.
4. Battery Life and Charging
With the Pixel 10, Google integrated Pixelsnap, a Qi2-compatible magnetic charging system that allows you to easily attach wireless chargers and accessories. This feature is expected to remain on the Pixel 11.
Battery capacities between the two generations are also very similar. The Pixel 10 Pro XL has a 5,200mAh battery, while the Pixel 11 Pro XL is rumored to have a rated capacity of 5,000mAh, which will likely be marketed around the same 5,100 to 5,200mAh mark.
Any real-world improvements in battery life won’t come from larger batteries, but rather from the improved efficiency of the Tensor G6 chip and the new MediaTek modem.
5. Verdict
Deciding whether to buy now or wait comes down to your current needs.
Consider buying the Pixel 10 now if: Your current phone is broken or frustrating to use, and you need a reliable device today. The Pixel 10 is a refined smartphone with a great camera, magnetic Qi2 charging, and seven years of promised software support. It is a solid purchase that will last a long time.
Consider waiting for the Pixel 11 if: Your current phone can last a few more months, and you prioritize battery efficiency and cellular performance. The move to a 2nm processor and a MediaTek modem addresses some of the most common hardware complaints from previous Pixel generations. If you want the most efficient hardware Google has to offer, checking out the Pixel 11 in August is the practical move.

Qualcomm has officially confirmed the dates for its 2026 Snapdragon Summit. The annual event, where the company usually unveils its next flagship mobile chip, will take place from September 22nd to 24th in Hawaii.
Last year, Qualcomm took the wraps off the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 during its annual Snapdragon Summit in Maui, Hawaii, and that chip went on to power devices from a long list of brands. The successor in 2026 is expected to be called Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6, and it’s not coming alone.
Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6: What to expect
This year, leaks suggest Qualcomm is splitting its flagship lineup into two distinct chips for the first time, internally codenamed SM8950 and SM8975. Expected to be called Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro, both are reportedly built on TSMC’s advanced 2nm process.
According to tipster Digital Chat Station, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 will feature a new 2+3+3 Oryon CPU layout, along with a shared 16MB L2 cache, paired with an Adreno 845 GPU featuring a six-slice design, 12MB GMEM and 6MB system-level cache, plus support for LPDDR5X memory and UFS 5.0 storage.
The Gen 6 Pro, meanwhile, will use an Adreno 850 GPU with 18MB of dedicated GMEM, a 50% increase in GPU bus width and memory capacity compared to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, along with support for LPDDR6 memory in addition to LPDDR5X.
Clock speeds are also expected to climb. According to reports, Gen 6 Pro could reach a peak clock speed of 5GHz, which would make it the first smartphone chip to hit that mark. To handle the extra heat that comes with higher speeds, the Pro variant is also rumored to introduce new cooling tech.
A leaked block diagram revealed Qualcomm may adopt Heat Pass Block (HPB) technology, the same cooling method used in Samsung’s Exynos 2600, where a dedicated heat-spreading layer sits directly on top of the chipset package to move heat away from the silicon faster.
Now that official dates are out, expect leaks and benchmark numbers to ramp up over the coming weeks.
The skyrocketing prices of memory chips, driven largely by the huge demand for AI, have now landed the big three DRAM makers in hot water.
Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and Micron Technology (which together control nearly 95% of the global DRAM market) are facing a new class action lawsuit filed in California’s Northern District federal court. The suit accuses them of deliberately restricting production of key DRAM chips, even as demand from smartphones and PCs remains very strong.
According to the plaintiffs (which include individuals and small businesses), this artificial shortage has fueled what some are calling the “RAMpocalypse.” DRAM prices have shot up dramatically, in some cases by hundreds of percent, far more than what normal market forces would explain.
The impact is already being felt by everyday consumers. Apple recently raised prices on Macs, iPads, and other products, openly blaming surging memory and storage costs tied to the AI boom. Other PC and smartphone makers have also adjusted pricing or delayed launches.
The lawsuit, filed around June 25, 2026, claims the companies violated antitrust laws (specifically Section 1 of the Sherman Act) by shifting production capacity toward high-margin, high-bandwidth memory (HBM) for AI servers while holding back on standard DRAM. This isn’t the first time these companies have faced such allegations: they paid billions in fines in the 2000s after similar collusion investigations.
So far, Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron haven’t given detailed public responses to the new suit. In the past, they’ve denied any wrongdoing, saying their decisions on production and pricing are simply reactions to market conditions and the massive surge in AI demand.
The memory market is still under heavy pressure. Lenovo expects supply to remain tight well into 2027–2028 as data centers keep eating up chips, with new factories taking time to come online.
With DRAM now being one of the most expensive parts in many devices, how this case unfolds could have a big impact on pricing, competition, and innovation across the entire tech world for years to come.
Huawei’s HarmonyOS 6 is picking up serious momentum. Just weeks after the company’s Developer Conference (HDC 2026), independent data shows the operating system has now crossed a major milestone.
According to data from Wonder Toolbox, HarmonyOS 6 is now installed on over 70 million devices, sitting at approximately 70.1 million. That’s a fast jump from the 66 million Yu Chengdong (Huawei’s Executive Director and Terminal BG Chairman) mentioned at the conference on June 12.
At the same event, Yu also shared that the wider open-source HarmonyOS ecosystem has now surpassed 1.3 billion devices. This includes not just phones and tablets, but also PCs, wearables, smart home devices, cars, and IoT products, showing how Huawei is pushing the OS across many different categories.
This growth is a big deal for Huawei. After facing US sanctions that cut off access to Google services, the company has been working hard to build its own independent software path. HarmonyOS has evolved a lot, especially with recent versions like HarmonyOS Next that moved away from Android compatibility toward a fully self-developed architecture. At HDC 2026, they even gave a first look at HarmonyOS 7, which focuses heavily on AI, agent-based intelligence, and spatial computing.
The numbers are impressive. Earlier in 2026, HarmonyOS 5 and 6 together were approaching tens of millions of devices, with a goal of hitting over 100 million by the end of the year. Analysts point to strong user satisfaction, a growing developer community, and an expanding app ecosystem as key reasons for the rapid adoption. In China, it’s become the country’s second-largest smartphone OS by some important metrics.
A big part of this success comes from Huawei’s tight integration between hardware and software. While most of the growth is still happening in China, Huawei has hinted at expanding availability and app support overseas. Overall, the latest 70 million figure for HarmonyOS 6 is a strong sign that Huawei’s software efforts are paying off.

Lenovo has released a new budget-friendly wired keyboard in China. The Legion MK2 is priced at just 99 yuan, which translates to roughly $14. At that price point, it is clearly an entry-level peripheral, but Lenovo has included a few practical features to make it a viable option for people who want one keyboard for both daily office work and casual gaming.
Lenovo Legion MK2 Specifications
Because it costs $14, the Legion MK2 does not use actual mechanical switches. Instead, it relies on a membrane design that Lenovo has tuned to mimic the physical feedback of tactile brown mechanical switches. The goal is to provide a noticeable bump when you press a key, giving you some physical confirmation of your keystrokes without the loud clicking noise associated with traditional gaming keyboards.
To make it functional for gaming, Lenovo included 19-key anti-ghosting. This ensures that if you press multiple keys at the same time during a game, the keyboard will actually register all of those inputs rather than dropping them.
The board features a standard, full-size 104-key layout. It keeps the dedicated number pad and the standard row of function keys. The keycaps are made from standard ABS plastic, but Lenovo used a laser-engraving process for the lettering. Physically, the keyboard weighs about 800 grams and includes dual-stage adjustable feet on the bottom so you can change the typing angle.
For aesthetics, the MK2 features 10 zone-based RGB lighting effects, including static lighting, flowing rainbow, wave, breathing, and other dynamic modes that can be switched using function key shortcuts. It also comes with dedicated multimedia hotkeys, allowing quick access to controls such as volume adjustment, mute, media playback, and track skipping without leaving your current application.

HMD Global is at it again with another interesting feature phone that mixes nostalgia with modern twists. This time, leaks point to a device that looks inspired by classic BlackBerry phones.
According to design sketches leaked by reliable source smashx_60, the upcoming phone has a compact, rounded body with a horizontal front panel and a traditional T9 numeric keypad. What makes it really stand out is that it appears to be a clamshell flip design. The flip part is expected to support touchscreen operation, creating a hybrid experience that blends old-school physical keys with modern touch capabilities.
This fits right into HMD’s current strategy of making “hybrid” phones, devices that are smarter than basic feature phones but not as overwhelming as full smartphones. It’s expected to run on the lightweight RTOS Touch operating system, which supports “cloud phone” services. That means you’ll be able to access some browser-based apps for messaging (through HMD’s Express Chat app), news, weather, video streaming, and other essentials without needing a full Android experience.
HMD has been quite active in this space lately. Late last year they launched the HMD Touch 4G, a compact touchscreen hybrid with Wi-Fi, a dedicated app for cross-platform messaging and video calls, and cloud features. On the flip side, models like the HMD 2660 Flip focus on durability, big buttons, excellent battery life, and simple call/text functionality.
The new leaked design stands out because it combines that BlackBerry-style keyboard vibe with a flip mechanism and touch support. It could appeal to people who miss physical keyboards or those looking for an affordable, reliable daily driver or secondary phone.
While we don’t have an official model number, full specs, battery details, or pricing yet, the RTOS Touch platform usually means great battery efficiency and focused, distraction-free usage. For reference, the HMD Touch 4G can last up to 2.5 days on a 1,950mAh removable battery.
At MWC earlier this year, HMD talked about its 2026 plans to reimagine feature phones with better connectivity, AI assistance, and a strong focus on accessibility, especially for the “next billion” users. This mystery flip phone seems to fit perfectly into that vision.
