The Oppo Find X9 series launched globally in October 2025 with the Find X9 and Find X9 Pro. Now, Oppo is apparently planning to expand the lineup further with three new models, according to Yogesh Brar on X.
According to the leaker, the Oppo Find X9s and Find X9 Ultra could launch globally sometime in the second quarter of this year. Meanwhile, Oppo’s next foldable phone, the Find N6, is said to arrive earlier, possibly as soon as March, but only in selected regions outside China.
Oppo Find X9 Pro
The leak also sheds light on the expected colour options for these devices. The Oppo Find X9s may be available in Titanium, Orange, and Blue shades. The Find X9 Ultra, on the other hand, could come in Orange, Black, and Brown finishes. As for the foldable Find N6, Oppo is reportedly planning to offer it in Orange and Titanium colours.
What can you expect?
In terms of specifications, earlier reports suggest that the Oppo Find X9s could feature a 6.3-inch flat display with 1.5K resolution. It is expected to come with a triple rear camera setup, led by a 200-megapixel primary sensor, alongside a 200-megapixel telephoto camera and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide shooter. The phone may be powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500+ chipset.
The Oppo Find X9 Ultra is tipped to sit at the top of the lineup. It could sport a larger 6.82-inch flat AMOLED display with 2K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.
OPPO Find N5
Unlike the other Find X9 models, the Ultra variant may use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, built on a 3nm process. The phone is likely to sport a quad rear camera setup and a 50-megapixel front-facing camera.
As for the Oppo Find N6, it is rumoured to be the first foldable phone powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, along with a 200-megapixel main camera.
Since Oppo has not officially announced any of these devices, all details should be treated cautiously for now. More clarity is expected in the coming weeks as the company moves closer to launch.

DJI could soon introduce a new line of consumer drones in the market. According to the outlet thenewcamera, certification filings with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) suggest that DJI is working on two new drones: the DJI Lito 1 and the DJI Lito X1.
As with many DJI leaks, the details come from regulatory paperwork rather than official announcements. The documents reveal internal codenames, early hardware references, and just enough hints to sketch out where these drones might sit in DJI’s lineup.
DJI Lito 1
The DJI Lito 1 seems to be the more affordable of the two. Listed under the codename SS3-DGN12, the Lito 1 is believed to be an entry-level drone intended to replace the current Mini 4K. It could start at around $330.
While the certification documents don’t go deep into camera or flight features, storage is listed at 22GB. Expect it to be for light photo and video use rather than more demanding production work.
DJI Lito X1
The Lito X1, on the other hand, looks like a serious upgrade. Codenamed SS3-DGP14, this model is expected to replace the Mini 5 Pro and focus more heavily on video creation. The starting price is rumored to be around $759.
One of the more notable details in the FCC filings is the mention of “SDR Transceiver 2” for the Lito X1. So the drone could use DJI’s next-generation O5 image transmission system. And if true, that would allow transmission distances of over 20 kilometers (about 12.4 miles).
There’s also speculation that DJI could integrate 5G cellular connectivity through SDR technology, although this remains unconfirmed.
Moreover, the Lito X1 may also get a 360-degree omnidirectional obstacle avoidance support that combines a fisheye optical lens, a LiDAR-like sensor with a 10-meter detection range, and an infrared module. The drone is also expected to support voice commands like “Hey, take off,” along with motion-based controls.
The Lito X1 is said to come in two versions: a standard model with around 30 minutes of flight time while staying under 250 grams, and a Plus version that extends flight time to roughly 50 minutes. Internal storage on the Lito X1 is reportedly increased to about 42GB.
As for timing, FCC confidentiality agreements typically last 180 days. That means DJI must publicly disclose the products by May 25, 2026, or the documents will be automatically released.
The report suggests DJI could launch the drones between late February and early April.

A new leak has revealed some key details of upcoming Xiaomi smartphones. This hints at the battery and charging details of the upcoming Xiaomi 17T, which we’ve already covered, along with the new POCO X8 Pro and POCO X8 Pro Max. These models are also expected to pack massive batteries as well, so let’s check it out.
POCO X8 Pro Max with a huge 8,500mAh battery surfaces online
According to recent findings from supply chain and code analysis (via PaperKing13), the POCO X8 Pro Max will be powered by a humongous 8,500mAh battery pack. This is one of the biggest battery capacities on any POCO phone. The large cell is paired with 100W wired fast charging for quick top ups. With such a massive battery, you can easily expect the device to offer two days of battery life on a single full charge.
Redmi Turbo 5 Max
The combination would appeal to heavy users, gamers, and travellers alike. Based on what we know so far, the POCO X8 Pro Max is rumored to be a rebranded Redmi Turbo 5 Max for the global market. To recall, the Turbo 5 Max debuted in China yesterday, with an even larger 9,000mAh cell. Although, this slight downgrade is likely due to regional safety and certification requirements. But this phone is still ahead of the curve compared to most other devices.
On the other hand, the standard POCO X8 Pro gets a smaller, but still respectable, 6500mAh battery that also supports 100W wired fast charging. In related news, the POCO X8 Pro recently showed in multiple certification databases across the globe, with a special POCO X8 Pro Iron Man Edition also in the works.

Samsung, Xiaomi, Google and other Android flagships are supported at full wireless power, while iPhones are limited to 7.5W wireless output due to platform restrictions, meaning slower magnetic charging for Apple devices.
This makes it ideal for commuters, travellers and anyone who wants a minimalist backup battery that doesn’t add bulk to daily carry gear. In the UK, Xiaomi’s new magnetic power bank is listed at £49.99 on the official Xiaomi website, with similar availability already rolling out in Japan and parts of Europe. The company hasn’t yet announced specific dates for other regions, but this phased rollout suggests wider distribution could follow soon.

Xiaomi has a lineup of Xiaomi 17 series smartphones set to launch globally. Among them are the Xiaomi 17T and 17T Pro, both of which appeared on the IMEI database back in October. Now, a new post on X has revealed the camera and battery specifications of the vanilla Xiaomi 17T.
The details were unearthed from HyperOS code changes, where the smartphone is listed under the codename “P12A.”
To begin with, the Xiaomi 17T flaunts a 6,500mAh battery. That’s a sizable jump from the 5,500mAh battery from last year’s Xiaomi 15T; however, charging speed remains the same at 67W.
Moving on, the Xiaomi 17T will feature a triple rear camera setup, led by an OmniVision OV50E sensor. It’s joined by an OmniVision OV13B sensor and a Samsung ISOCELL JN5 sensor, covering ultra-wide and telephoto duties. There’s also mention of a Samsung ISOCELL S5KKDS sensor for selfies.
For comparison, the Xiaomi 15T used a 50MP Light Fusion 800 main camera, a 50MP telephoto lens, and a 12MP ultra-wide camera. It has a 32MP camera for selfies.
Under the hood, the Xiaomi 17T could be powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500s chipset. The processor includes a MediaTek NPU designed for generative and agentic AI features and recently made its debut earlier this month.
Interestingly, the same chip is already being used in the Redmi Turbo 5 Max, which gives some context about the performance level users can expect.
Xiaomi 17T series might launch in February
As for the Xiaomi 17T Pro, a listing spotted on the IMEI database back in October 2025 hints at a possible February 2026 launch. If that timeline holds, it would be a shift away from Xiaomi’s usual September release window for its T-series phones.

Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 vs 8s Gen 3: Benchmark scores
[Note: For the benchmark results, the tests were performed on the Vivo T4 Pro (powered by Snapdragon 7 Gen 4) and Poco F6 (powered by Snapdragon 8s Gen 3).]
Geekbench score
The Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 comfortably outclasses the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 in the CPU test on Geekbench. It achieves a 54% higher score in the single-core performance test and about a 38% higher score in the multi-core performance test.

This should result in higher peak performance on a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3-powered device than on one powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4. However, everyday tasks like browsing the internet, scrolling through social media apps, and watching videos perform smoothly on both chips.
AnTuTu score
The Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 also dominates AnTuTu with a total score above 1.5 million, while the 7 Gen 4 achieves just about 1 million. That’s a 50% uplift for the 8s Gen 3.
The individual scores paint a better picture: a 27% higher CPU score and a 60% higher score for the 8s Gen 3. The memory and UX scores also favor Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 over the 7 Gen 4.

Benchmark scores alone don’t tell the complete story. They do not discuss other important aspects, such as the camera and connectivity. So, we’ll uncover the key differences in the following section.
Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 vs 8s Gen 3: Key differences
The Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 and 8s Gen 3 feature the same 1+4+3 core configuration, but their core selection differs. The 7 Gen 4 features one Cortex-A720 large core, four Cortex-A720 mid cores, and three Cortex-A520 small cores. In contrast, the 8s Gen 3 has a more powerful Cortex-X4 large core, four Cortex-A720 mid cores, and three Cortex-A520 small cores.
Not only does the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 feature higher-performance cores, but they also run at higher speeds. That’s the main reason it’s able to beat the 7 Gen 4 in benchmarks by a big margin.
The 8s Gen 3 also features a more powerful Adreno 735 GPU with more pipelines and higher compute throughput than the Adreno 722 GPU on the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4. Additionally, the 8s Gen 3 supports hardware-accelerated ray tracing, which enhances the gaming experience with more accurate lighting, reflections, and shadows.
The Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 also excels in imaging, featuring an 18-bit ISP compared to the 12-bit ISP on the other chip. Furthermore, the 8s Gen 3 supports semantic segmentation (up to 12 layers) and zero shutter lag at higher resolutions. Both chips support up to 4K video recording at 60fps, but when it comes to slow-motion recording, the differences become apparent. The 8s Gen 3 supports 1080p slow-motion recording at 240fps, while the 7 Gen 4 peaks at 120fps.
Both chipsets feature robust connectivity, though some differences remain. The 7 Gen 4 features a newer Bluetooth standard, while the 8s Gen 3 excels in peak download speed over a 5G connection. The peak Wi-Fi speed, however, remains unchanged.
Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 vs 7 Gen 4: Which is a better choice?
The Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 is a no-brainer pick over the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, featuring faster CPU and GPU with support for hardware-accelerated ray tracing. It also features a robust ISP with better slow-motion video recording and semantic segmentation support.
The Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 also features robust connectivity, with a higher peak download speed over 5G. The 7 Gen 4 offers a newer Bluetooth standard, but that alone can’t make up for everything. Hence, the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 remains a solid pick over the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4.
Just a few months after launching the Reno 15 series in China last November, early details about the next-generation Reno 16 lineup are already starting to leak out. Not entirely, as Oppo updates the Reno series roughly every six months.
According to well-known tipster Digital Chat Station, the Oppo Reno 16 series has now entered the testing phase in China. That usually means internal hardware decisions are largely locked in, even if the final product is still weeks away from public view. If Oppo sticks to its usual timeline, the Reno 16 series could arrive sometime around May.
Oppo Reno 16 Specifications (Expected)
The Reno 16 lineup is expected to continue using flat displays across multiple sizes. The Reno 15 series has a compact 6.32-inch and a 6.78-inch model, and Oppo is likely to continue offering the same screen sizes with Reno 16.
The Reno 16 series is also said to feature a 200MP main camera as standard, along with a 50MP periscope telephoto lens. Not an upgrade on megapixel count, as both the Reno 15 and Reno 15 Pro have a similar setup. But Oppo could use a newer camera sensor.
Design-wise, the leak points to a metal frame and LIPO equal bezel layout on all sides. Oppo is also aiming for an ultra-thin and lightweight build to keep the Reno series focused on comfort and everyday usability rather than sheer hardware bulk.
None of this is official yet, and Oppo hasn’t acknowledged the leak. Still, with testing already underway and a mid-year launch window hinted at, the Reno 16 series may not stay a mystery for much longer.

Wearables have spent the last few years bouncing between familiar shapes. Smartwatches keep getting bigger, while smart rings are trying to shrink health tracking down to the bare minimum. Rogbid’s latest device, the Fusion, sits somewhere awkwardly — and intentionally — in the middle.
Rogbid Fusion Specifications
The Rogbid Fusion is a very small smartwatch that borrows ideas from both categories. At just 20.6 x 21 x 8.2mm and weighing a little over 14 grams, it’s closer in size to a chunky ring than a traditional watch.
Out of the box, the Fusion can be worn like a ring using its bundled Milanese-style strap. If that feels too unconventional, Rogbid also includes a nylon strap that lets you wear it on your wrist like a regular watch.
The device itself uses a metal midframe and comes with a 5ATM water resistance rating, which should make it suitable for swimming and daily exposure to water without much worry.
The screen is predictably small. The Fusion uses a 0.49-inch OLED display, which is just enough to show the basics. You can check the time, step count, heart rate, blood oxygen levels, and sleep data directly on the device, though anything more detailed will likely require opening the companion app.
Despite its size, the Fusion is a full fitness wearable. It supports over 100 sports modes, though real-time tracking is limited to essentials like heart rate, steps, and distance.
The Fusion connects to smartphones over Bluetooth and works with both Android and iOS devices. Rogbid claims a battery life of up to five days, which is respectable for its size, though real-world usage will probably depend on how often health-tracking features are enabled.
In terms of design options, the Rogbid Fusion is available in black, silver, and gold. The device retails for $49.99 and is available directly from Rogbid’s official website.

The Reno 15c comes preloaded with ColorOS 16-based Android 16. It has a 50-megapixel front camera with autofocus support and a 50-megapixel main camera on the back, coupled with an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens and a 2-megapixel macro camera.
The Reno 15c comes with other features, such as an IR blaster, dual speakers, and a side-facing fingerprint sensor. It has a slim profile of 8.14mm and weighs around 195 grams.
The Reno 15c has arrived in India in two options: 8GB+256GB for Rs 34,999 (~380) and 12GB+256GB for Rs 37,999 (~$415). It comes in two shades, Twilight Blue and Afterglow Pink. As mentioned above, it is scheduled to go on sale on Feb. 3.
Readers should note that this phone should not be confused with the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4-powered Reno 15c available in China.
