OnePlus Turbo live images emerge, specs leak reveals 144Hz display, Snapdragon 7-series chip, 9,000mAh battery, more

OnePlus is gearing up to launch the OnePlus Turbo series of smartphones in January in China. Expected to launch in January, the Turbo series is expected to include two models, powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 and the Snapdragon 7-series chip. A new leak, courtesy of AndroidHeadlines, has seemingly revealed the design and specs of the Snapdragon 7-series variant.

OnePlus Turbo “Prado” design, specs revealed

Design-wise, the OnePlus Turbo (codenamed Prado) reportedly sticks to a familiar layout with a rear camera module positioned in the upper-left corner. The phone is said to use a glossy plastic back, hinting at aggressive pricing for markets like India. Two color options are currently being tested, a greenish blue shade and a standard black finish.

According to information shared by Android Headlines, this device is expected to debut in China first. Outside China, it is likely to arrive under the Nord branding, following OnePlus’ existing regional strategy. The device is said to feature a massive 9,000mAh battery paired with 80W fast charging, positioning it well above typical mid-range phones in terms of endurance.

The display is another area where the Turbo appears to stand out. Leaks point to a 6.8-inch flat OLED panel with a 1.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. Powering the device is expected to be the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset, paired with up to 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, running OxygenOS 16 based on Android 16. Camera specifications include a 50-megapixel primary sensor, an 8-megapixel ultrawide camera, and a 32-megapixel front-facing camera.

While OnePlus has not confirmed a launch date, current leaks suggest a March 2026 debut, possibly around Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

Vivo X300 FE, Jovi X300 FE bag Bluetooth SIG certification, may launch soon

Devices that surface in the Bluetooth SIG certification usually go official within a time span of around one month. Therefore, it appears that the Vivo X300 FE may debut by late January or February 2026, as it has received approval from the Bluetooth SIG authority. The Bluetooth SIG listing also reveals a dedicated variant for the Brazilian market.

As can be seen above, the Bluetooth SIG authority has approved the Vivo X300 FE, which bears the model numbers V2537 and V2542. The listing also mentions the Jovi V2505 model number.

For those who are unaware, Vivo launches its phones under the Jovi name in Brazil to avoid trademark conflicts with Telefónica Brasil, which already owns the “Vivo” brand for telecommunications services there. Therefore, the Jovi X300 FE is just a rebranded version of the Vivo X300 FE exclusively for Brazil.

Rumors are rife that the Vivo X300 FE will be a rebranded version of the Vivo S50 Pro Mini, which recently debuted in China. The S50 Pro Mini is equipped with a 6.31-inch OLED LTPO display that offers a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.

These Chinese EV Brands Are Poised to Disrupt the Global Market in 2026

In late 2025, the global electric vehicle market has shifted in favor of Chinese manufacturers. They now account for 43% of global EV sales, with eight of the top ten best-selling EV models coming from China. These brands are moving faster, integrating vertically, and treating cars as digital products rather than mechanical ones.

1. BYD

BYD Car

BYD is currently the world’s largest EV maker by volume. It builds its own batteries, motors, and chips, including its signature Blade Battery. This approach has allowed the company to lower costs and reduce reliance on external suppliers. Models like the Seagull continue to undercut global rivals on pricing, while still offering competitive range and features.

In 2025, BYD expanded production into Hungary and Brazil to avoid import tariffs and meet rising demand. The company also pushed into the premium space with its Yangwang sub-brand, which now competes directly with established luxury automakers.

Additionally, the company is all set to launch the Seal 08 and Sealion 08 in Q1 2026, targeting the premium segment with its next-generation Ocean Aesthetic 2.0 design language.

2. Xiaomi

Xiaomi SU7 Ultra

Xiaomi entered the EV market with the SU7 sedan and quickly scaled to over 200k units in less than a year. The vehicle runs on HyperOS, which connects seamlessly with Xiaomi’s smartphones and smart home devices. This integration has attracted a younger, tech-savvy audience that values digital experiences.

In mid-2025, Xiaomi launched the YU7 SUV. It introduced a 900V electrical system and a zero-gravity seat design. The company ramped up production to more than 40,000 vehicles per month, a rate most legacy brands have not achieved in their early years.

3. NIO

NIO is solving one of the most persistent EV challenges: charging time. Its global battery swap network now includes over 4,000 stations. Each swap takes under three minutes and removes the need to plug in.

NIO expanded its lineup in 2025 by introducing two new sub-brands. Onvo targets family buyers, while Firefly caters to the European market with compact luxury vehicles. The brand has opened new locations in the Netherlands and Norway and plans to enter the UK, Belgium, and Luxembourg in early 2026.

4. Geely

Geely owns brands like Volvo, Polestar, and Lotus. It has used this global footprint to launch its own premium EVs under the Zeekr brand. The Zeekr 001 received a major update in late 2025, including a 900V platform and ultra-fast charging speeds using Geely’s new Golden Brick battery. The vehicle can charge from 10% to 80% in about 7 minutes.

Geely’s SEA (Sustainable Experience Architecture) platform allows it to build a wide range of EVs across multiple brands. This structure supports rapid development and reduces costs, giving Geely a clear advantage in scaling its EV efforts.

5. XPeng

XPeng has solidified its position as the leader in AI-centric mobility. Its 2025 lineup shifted fully to “AI-defined” vehicles, including the vision-based P7+ and the X9 MPV with adaptive AI suspension. The Mona M03 became a best-seller by offering advanced driver-assist tech for under $20,000, and a Mona SUV is set to arrive in early 2026 to challenge the Tesla Model Y.

The company’s partnership with Volkswagen brought major scale advantages, culminating in the VW ID. UNYX 07, powered entirely by XPeng’s software and its in-house Turing AI chip. XPeng also secured Level 3 autonomous driving permits in China and saw its Net Promoter Score top Germany’s rankings. With expansion into the UK, Australia, and South Korea, XPeng is positioning itself as the most advanced AI-first carmaker in the world.

6. What the West Is Getting Wrong

Chinese EV companies move quickly. Their development cycles average 18 to 24 months. Most Western automakers still take 4 to 6 years to bring new models to market. Chinese firms build much of their own supply chains, while Western brands depend on Tier-1 suppliers. The focus in China is on software, user experience, and in-car AI. In contrast, many global brands still prioritize traditional metrics like paint quality and ride feel.

High tariffs in the US and EU have slowed some exports, but Chinese automakers are adapting. BYD and Geely have set up production hubs overseas. Others are increasing their plug-in hybrid offerings to remain competitive while EV policies remain unclear.

It is fully waterproof, features a battery claimed to last up to 8 weeks on a single USB-C charge, and includes an adjustable warm light for comfortable reading in any environment.

According to the brand, the upcoming OnePlus Turbo delivers the “strongest battery life” in its segment, along with what the company calls an “unprecedented gaming experience” for its price range.

Adding to the announcement, OnePlus China President Li Jie says the Turbo series will bring several gaming-focused technologies previously limited to high-end models. These include a 165Hz ultra-high refresh rate display, the company’s Fengchi gaming kernel, and what OnePlus calls an “e-sports triple core.”

Li says these features have already been well received by professional players and hardcore gamers, and that the Turbo series will bring them to a much wider audience.

OnePlus Turbo specifications

As far as the specs are concerned, the OnePlus Turbo is said to feature a 6.78-inch flat LTPS OLED panel with a 1.5K resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate.

Under the hood, an AnTuTu listing confirms the phone will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset. It scored 2,609,327 points on the benchmark.

OnePlus 15R

The phone will feature flagship-grade LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage. Memory option ranges from 12GB RAM with 256GB storage to a top-end 16GB RAM and 512GB storage variant. In China, the phone is expected to launch in Unique Black, Ocean Green, and Light Chaser Silver shades.

Fueling the phone could be a massive 9,000mAh battery with fast charging support. Other specifications include a metal middle frame and an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor. 

Interestingly, a previous report also points to another OnePlus Turbo-series phone with V branding. This model is expected to feature a Snapdragon 7-series chipset, a 165Hz display, and a large battery. Its color options include Unique Black, Nova White, and Fearless Blue. More details on this variant are expected to surface soon.

Redmi A7 Pro and Poco C81’s display, processor, and battery details leak

Xiaomi’s next budget smartphones, under the Redmi and Poco brands, have made their first appearance on certification sites. We’re talking about the Rsdmi A7 Pro and the Poco C81, which will be nearly identical in terms of hardware but are likely headed to different markets.

Both devices have been listed in GSMA IMEI and FCC listings, which reveal most of their core specifications. The IMEI database confirms that the Redmi A7 Pro carries the model number 25128RN17A, while the Poco C81 uses identifier 25128RN17G.

The near-identical naming confirms their close relationship, but what’s even more interesting is that the fact that Redmi is jumping straight from the Redmi A5 to the Redmi A7 Pro. Yes, the company is skipping the Redmi A6 altogether. Poco C81, on the other hand, succeeds Poco C71.

Redmi A7 Pro / Poco C81 Specifications 

The FCC listing also confirms that both phones will feature a large display measuring just under seven inches. It’s an IPS LCD panel with a waterdrop notch, which is about as classic budget-phone design as it gets in 2025.

Under the hood, the Redmi A7 Pro and Poco C81 are expected to run on the Unisoc T7250. It’s a 12nm chip with a mix of performance and efficiency CPU cores, paired with a Mali-G57 GPU. 

Memory options could top out at 4GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 64GB or 128GB of slower eMMC storage. On the software side, the phones could ship with Android 15 or the lighter Android 15 Go Edition.

One of the more notable details is the battery. Xiaomi is said to be equipping these phones with a 6,000mAh cell. Charging, however, remains modest at 15W over USB-C, and the certification listings suggest that a charger won’t be included in the box.

Last but not least, there’s no mention of specific sensors, but the phones are expected to feature a single rear camera, keeping things simple.

Alleged Samsung Wide Fold dummy looks surprisingly similar to Apple’s iPhone Fold

Apple and Samsung may be heading toward the same idea for their next foldables. A fresh leak suggests both companies are working on a shorter, wider folding phone—one that trades height for a more practical, pocket-friendly shape.

According to well-known leaker Ice Universe, dummy units of the rumored iPhone Fold and a so-called Samsung Wide Fold show striking similarities. Both devices adopt a wider layout. The approach is closer to what Oppo attempted with the early Find N models.

The goal appears simple: make both the inner and outer display more useful. The cover display is easier to type on, while the wider inner screen makes more sense for watching and reading content. When unfolded, both devices reportedly feature an inner display with a 4:3 aspect ratio, giving them a tablet-like feel.

Ice Universe claims the iPhone Fold would use a 7.58-inch inner screen, paired with a 5.35-inch outer display. Samsung’s wide foldable is said to be slightly larger, with a 7.6-inch inner panel and a 5.4-inch cover screen. On paper, the difference is minimal, and assuming similar thickness and weight, the two phones could feel nearly identical in the hand.

The key difference, at least for now, seems to come down to execution. Hinge design and software optimization are likely to separate the two.

The leak arrives as interest around Apple’s first foldable continues to grow. CAD-based renders of the iPhone Fold have been circulating for months. Samsung’s wide foldable now looks like a direct response.

So is Samsung actually moving away from its tall foldable design in favor of a wider one to match Apple or broader industry trends? Probably not. The rumored Wide Fold may simply be an additional model rather than a full replacement. Reports suggest Samsung is working on two Galaxy Z Fold devices for 2026, indicating the company may continue offering both form factors side by side.

New Oppo Pad 5 may launch with the Reno 15 series in India

Oppo is preparing to release the Reno 15 series of smartphones in India soon. But it seems like these mid range devices might not be arriving alone, as a fresh sighting has hinted that the Oppo Pad 5 could be launching in the region as well.

Oppo Pad 5 India Launch Near?

To recall, the Chinese tech giant is expected to unveil the Reno 15 series in India sometime next month. Meanwhile, the Oppo Pad Air 5 will be launching in China tomorrow (25th December 2025). But in a surprising twist, the Oppo Pad 5 has just surfaced on the brand’s official website. The company first released the Oppo Pad 5 as a flagship tablet. However, the global version doesn’t appear to be a premium model.

Oppo Pad 5 (Global Version)

In other words, the Oppo Pad 5 global/Indian variant might be a rebranded model of another existing tablet. Looking at this model, the design appears quite similar to the Oppo Pad Air 5. Looking at the official listing, the Oppo Pad 5 will arrive in India with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. The WiFi only model surfaced on the website with a tall 12.1-inch display with a 2.8K resolution and eye comfort features.

A black color option can be seen along with support for a stylus. Other notable features that we can expect from the Oppo Pad Air 5 include a massive 10,050mAh battery pack, 33W wired fast charging, a display with 900 nits peak brightness, and a Dimensity 7300 SoC (rumored).

Galaxy Z TriFold put through brutal folding test — here’s how it held up

With two hinges and a screen that folds in three sections, Galaxy Z TriFold pushes Samsung’s foldable design further than ever. But with that ambition comes a big question: how long will dual dual-hinge foldable actually last?

Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold how is it different

A South Korean YouTube channel, Omokgyo Electronics Shopping Mall, recently tried to find out. In a multi-day livestream, the team ran the Galaxy Z TriFold through a relentless folding test, opening and closing the device around the clock to see where it would give in.

Samsung officially rates the phone for 200,000 folds, a figure meant to reflect years of regular use. The test, however, was anything but regular. Three hosts took turns continuously folding and unfolding the device with almost no breaks.

Did it survive?

Early warning signs appeared after 61,000 folds, when one hinge began making faint creaking noises. The second hinge followed at around 121,000 cycles. By roughly 144,000 folds, the hinges had lost much of their tension. The phone could still open, but it no longer stayed fully flat on its own.

Notably, the display itself never failed. Despite the stress placed on the hinges, the large foldable screen remained fully functional until the end of the test.

That final number falls short of Samsung’s stated durability rating, but the context matters. Non-stop mechanical folding isn’t how people use their phones, and the fold-counting sensors attached during the test may have affected hinge movement. In everyday use, the TriFold could still come much closer to Samsung’s claim.

For reference, Samsung rates the Galaxy Z Fold 7 at up to 500,000 folds, highlighting how much more demanding the tri-fold design is. As with any first-generation product, improvements are likely in future models.

For now, the test suggests potential buyers of the Galaxy Z TriFold should not worry about the durability and reliability of the device, though there’s still room for refinement as the form factor matures.
