Galaxy Z Flip8 tipped to be 30% slimmer than Flip7

Samsung’s foldable lineup is seemingly gearing up for its biggest year yet — not with wild new form factors, but with smart refinements aimed at everyday users. Leaks out of Korea hint that the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip8 and Z Fold8 will be leaner, smarter, and built to push foldables out of the niche corner and into the mainstream.

According to The Bell Korea, Samsung’s 2026 MX (Mobile eXperience) business roadmap sets a goal of 6.7 million combined Flip8 and Fold8 units, about a 10% boost over last year’s sales. The push is led by the Flip8, which is reportedly getting a major hardware revamp. There’s no mention of a Flip8 FE yet.

The Galaxy Z Flip8 is shaping up to be Samsung’s thinnest clamshell yet. Sources suggest the phone could measure just 9.5 mm when folded, roughly 30% slimmer than the Flip7’s 13.7 mm profile. Early leaks suggest the same 6.9-inch inner display, and the slimmer design should make it easier to pocket.

The Galaxy Z Fold8, meanwhile, is expected to stay closer to the Fold7 formula. Expect brighter AMOLED panels and S Pen support refinements, but no major redesign.

With the TriFold expected to arrive as a limited release and the Galaxy S26 series on the horizon, the Flip8 and Fold8 carry the task of bringing foldables to more people. If Samsung can deliver a 9.5 mm Flip that feels as sturdy as it looks, it might finally have a clamshell ready for the masses.

As 2026 approaches, Samsung’s message seems to be clear: the next chapter in foldables isn’t about showing off — it’s about shaving down, selling more, and making foldables feel like the future again.

Xiaomi 67W Power Bank 20000 arrives in Europe with built-in USB-C cable and dual ports

Xiaomi has quietly launched its latest fast-charging power bank in Europe, and it’s built for travel. The new 67W Power Bank 20000 (Integrated Cable) comes with a built-in USB-C cable that doubles as a lanyard — so you’ll never dig through your bag looking for a cable again.

The power bank supports up to 67W USB-C fast charging (PD 3.0, PPS, QC 3.5) and includes a USB-A and a USB-C port alongside the built-in cable, letting you charge up to three devices at once. When all three ports are in use, total output is capped at 15W. Still, it can be useful when charging low-power devices like smartwatches and earphones.

According to Xiaomi, the power bank has a nominal capacity of 12,000mAh (5V/3A), enough to charge most phones from 0 to 100% at a solid speed.

It also recharges quickly via 65W USB-C input, taking around 2.5 hours to top up completely. There’s a low-current mode for accessories like earbuds, plus a digital display showing the exact battery percentage.

The design is simple but practical: beige or blue, measuring 140 × 72 × 31.2 mm and weighing 415 g.

The 67W Power Bank 20000 is available now in Germany for €45.99 on mi.com/de, with availability expanding to more EU countries in the coming weeks. Xiaomi is also bringing the 67W 10000 and Super Slim Magnetic 5000 to the region.

With fast charging, three ports, and that built-in cable, Xiaomi’s latest power bank looks like a handy little upgrade for anyone who travels light — or just hates tangled cords.

Honor Magic 8 Pro reportedly packs different battery capacities for different regions

European buyers looking forward to the Honor Magic 8 Pro might want to temper their expectations. The version headed for the EU reportedly won’t have the same monster 7,200 mAh battery as the Chinese model — instead, it’s getting a noticeably smaller cell.

According to GSMArena, which claims to have received “first-hand” confirmation, the EU-bound Magic 8 Pro will feature a 6,270 mAh battery — approximately 13 percent smaller than the Chinese variant and 930 mAh less overall. The global model is said to sit somewhere in between at 7,100 mAh.

That said, it’s still a decent bump from the 5,270 mAh battery in last year’s Magic 7 Pro, so the downgrade isn’t as bad as it sounds.

Honor hasn’t commented on the difference, but EU-specific safety, recycling, and transport regulations could explain the smaller capacity. As per the source, charging could also see a downgrade as compared to the Chinese version: 100W wired charging. In China, the phone supports 120 W wired and 80 W wireless charging.

Otherwise, the specs remain identical to the Chinese release:

  • 6.71-inch OLED (120 Hz, 1256 × 2808)
  • Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5
  • 50 MP main + 200 MP periscope (85mm) + 50 MP ultrawide
  • 50 MP selfie

So, while the performance and camera setup stay top-tier, battery life could take a small hit — maybe an hour or two less screen-on time in real use.

That said, the downgrade in battery capacity may indeed sting a little regardless of the reason. The EU still gets the Magic 8 Pro, just not quite the full magic.

Samsung’s tri-fold tipped to launch next month with 5,600mAh battery and a $3,000 price tag

Samsung’s foldable lineup might be about to get a third fold — and a serious price bump. The long-rumored Galaxy Z TriFold is reportedly set to launch on December 5, bringing a massive 10-inch display, a beefier 5,600mAh battery, and a jaw-dropping $3,000 price tag. That makes it nearly twice as expensive as the Z Fold7 — and possibly the boldest (and bulkiest) experiment Samsung’s ever shipped.

According to the leak, Samsung will produce just 20,000 to 30,000 units, focusing sales in Korea and select Asian markets, including China. No plans for the US or Europe yet, which makes sense — this one looks more like a concept turned collectible than a mass-market product.

When folded, the TriFold reportedly resembles the Z Fold7, complete with a 6.5-inch outer screen. Unfold both sides, though, and you get a 10-inch tablet-like canvas (vs. 8 inches on the Z Fold 7) for improved multitasking or entertainment. Power comes from a 5,600mAh battery — about 27% larger than the Fold7’s (4,400mAh unit) — to handle the triple-hinge setup and all that extra screen real estate.

At 14 mm thick when folded, it’s definitely no slim pocket companion — around 60% thicker than the Fold7 and still chunkier than Huawei’s Mate XT Ultimate, which measures 12.8mm and weighs 298g. But that’s the trade-off Samsung seems willing to make in pursuit of the ultimate foldable showcase that also protects the softer foldable display when not in use.

The TriFold is shaping up to be less of a mainstream launch and more of a tech statement — a proof of concept for Samsung’s next phase in foldables. Whether that $3,000 price tag buys you innovation or just bragging rights, we’ll find out soon enough when the curtain lifts on December 5.

Qualcomm’s Android 16 gamble: Snapdragon X laptops could be headed for a mobile makeover

Imagine turning on your Windows laptop and seeing Android 16’s familiar homescreen instead. That might not be far off. Qualcomm is reportedly working to bring Android 16 to its Snapdragon X series chips — the same silicon now powering Arm-based Windows laptops.

A leak from tipster @Jukanlosreve shows internal code from Qualcomm’s repository for “Purwa,” the codename tied to the Snapdragon X Elite and X Plus. The manifest files mention firmware for key hardware components like the camera, Bluetooth, and audio, all built around Android 16 support. In other words, this isn’t a concept — it’s something Qualcomm’s engineers are actively testing.

This move comes right as Google begins blending Android and Chrome OS, paving the way for more hybrid systems. Android 16 already adds desktop-friendly features like resizable windows (primarily through its new “desktop windowing” mode), full keyboard navigation, and improved file handling — all signs that Google is thinking beyond phones.

If Qualcomm gets this right, it could mean Android PCs without emulation — just native apps running on efficient Arm hardware. Android started its journey on phones with a little over a 1000 mAh batteries and while over the years

Android is designed for devices with relatively small batteries — just a few thousand milliamp-hours — and can stay active in standby while using very little power. The same can’t really be said for Windows. That’s why this combination is expected to enable ultra-portable devices that stay cool, sip power, and still run Google’s full ecosystem.

Of course, it’s not without hurdles. Drivers, app scaling, and heat management all need fine-tuning for bigger, more powerful systems. But it’s an intriguing direction — and a potential escape hatch for Qualcomm, which currently depends on Microsoft’s slow-moving Windows-on-Arm ecosystem.

If development continues at this pace, we could see the first Android 16–powered Snapdragon X devices in the near future. And if they deliver the right balance of performance, battery life, and app support, they might finally make Android-on-PC more than just a developer experiment.

Oppo has introduced the Lumo Lab, an India-only program that aims to strengthen smartphone imaging by working directly with photography experts. The company has partnered with Joseph Radhik, Ashik Aseem and Zaid Salman to study India’s diverse visual environment, ranging from skin tones and festive scenes to intricate handmade artwork.

Their insights will be shared with Oppo’s internal imaging team to refine tuning across colour science, portrait handling and low-light rendering. The Lumo Lab will contribute to current and future Find X devices, beginning with the Find X9 series.

The Oppo Find X9 series will introduce multiple camera upgrades designed to improve clarity, colour accuracy and dynamic range. The highlight is a 200-megapixel Hasselblad telephoto camera engineered for distant subjects, offering 13.2x lossless zoom and up to 120x hybrid zoom. It includes a floating lens design, a wide f/2.1 aperture and a 10cm close-focus capability for tele-macro shots.

The series also brings Real-Time Triple Exposure HDR, which captures three exposure values simultaneously to eliminate ghosting and improve highlight control. Another addition is the True Colour Camera, enabled by an 8-channel spectral sensor that measures light characteristics across a 48-zone grid to maintain consistent color across all lenses.

The Find X9 lineup is also the first to capture full 50-megapixel photos by default across all rear cameras, offering more detail and cropping flexibility. These capabilities are supported by the Lumo Image Engine, which enhances clarity and tone while reducing power consumption for extended photography sessions. Together, these elements form the core of Oppo’s next flagship platform, aiming to deliver a more natural and precise imaging experience guided by India’s visual diversity.

Global Oppo Reno 15 packs Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, to be completely different from Chinese version

Oppo is preparing to introduce the Reno 15 lineup in China soon, while reports continue to shed light on what the global audience can expect. A new leak from SmartPrix suggests that the global Reno 15 model will differ significantly from the version launching in the Chinese market, not only in terms of hardware but also overall positioning. With both models expected to debut within months of each other, Oppo appears to be taking a regionalized approach for its upcoming mid-range flagship.

Global Oppo Reno 15 specifications

The report states that the global Reno 15 will feature a larger 6.59-inch OLED display offering 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Unlike the Chinese unit, the global edition is said to run on the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset, paired with a 6,500mAh battery that supports 80W wired charging.

For imaging, the international model is tipped to include a triple rear setup consisting of a 50-megapixel primary camera, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide sensor, and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto lens offering 3.5x optical zoom. Additional expected features include Wi-Fi 7, NFC, an under-display fingerprint reader and Android 16. According to the leak, the global rollout of the Reno 15 series may take place in February 2026.

Chinese Oppo Reno 15 specifications

The Chinese variant, scheduled for launch on Nov. 17, will take a different approach. It is expected to feature a smaller 6.32-inch OLED screen with the same 1.5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. Powering the device will reportedly be the Dimensity 8450 chipset, along with a 6,200mAh battery that also supports 80W charging.

Where the Chinese edition stands out most is its camera hardware. Leaks suggest a 200-megapixel main sensor accompanied by two 50-megapixel cameras for ultra-wide and periscope telephoto functions, giving it a more photography-centric configuration.

These Oppo devices will get ColorOS 16 update in November

Oppo ColorOS 16 November roadmap

The global rollout of ColorOS 16 began earlier this month, starting with premium models, such as Oppo Find N5 and Find X8 Pro. Later, it expanded to more Oppo phones and tablets. If you’re still waiting for this Android 16-based major upgrade, Oppo has announced a precise update roadmap for November along with the exact rollout dates.

Oppo releases a monthly roadmap that reveals which devices will receive the update in the month, but more importantly, it also reveals the exact rollout dates. Here’s the ColorOS 16 rollout plan for November 2025:

November 6

  • Oppo Find N5 – released
  • Oppo Find X8 – released
  • Oppo Find X8 Pro – released

November 11

  • Oppo Find N3 – released
  • Oppo Find N3 Flip – released
  • Oppo Pad 3 Pro – released

Oppo has already begun the ColorOS 16 stable rollout for these devices, as per the roadmap. However, it’s important to note that the rollout happens in batches, and therefore, the update may not appear immediately on your phone. You can manually check for updates from the software update section inside the Settings app.

More devices to get the ColorOS 16 update this month

The November 2025 ColorOS 16 roadmap only lists a total of six devices, but the update will expand to more Oppo devices later this month. The official community post also says “that this list is not final, and we’ll continue to update it with more and more devices when it’s their time.”

According to the official rollout schedule, announced during the ColorOS 16 global launch, the update should also reach several Reno phones and Oppo Pad 3 Pro this month.

Here’s a list of Oppo devices that will also receive ColorOS 16 in November:

  • Oppo Reno 14 Pro 5G
  • Oppo Reno 14 5G
  • Oppo Reno 14 5G Diwali Edition
  • Oppo Reno 14F 5G
  • Oppo Reno 13 Pro 5G
  • Oppo Reno 13 5G
  • Oppo Reno 13F 5G
  • Oppo Pad 3 Pro

Again, as the rollout happens in batches, several regions may receive it before others. To ensure your phone is ready for this major upgrade, make sure there are no pending updates for installation.

ColorOS 16, based on Android 16, is a major upgrade for Oppo devices, bringing numerous improvements, AI enhancements, visual upgrades, and a range of new features. It’s a bulky update with a download size of several gigabytes. Therefore, ensure the device has sufficient storage before downloading the update package and that the battery is at least 40% charged before installing it.

Huawei could be working on a separate foldable just to counter the iPhone Fold

A new leak out of China suggests Huawei could be preparing a new entry in its foldable lineup. Reliable tipster Digital Chat Station took to Weibo to reveal that one of China’s top-five smartphone makers has begun testing a large-screen foldable phone.

According to the leak, the device will feature a 7.6-inch main display and a 5.5-inch cover display, with an aspect ratio close to 14:10. It’s said to run on a flagship-tier chipset, include a periscope telephoto camera, and pack a battery just under 6000mAh.

While DCS didn’t explicitly name the brand, the mention of an “nth-generation flagship chip” suggests the device is likely from Huawei. The tipster also ruled out the possibility of it being the Oppo Find N6.

A new kind of Pura X?

DCS also claims this could be the industry’s first large-sized, horizontally wide foldable, and this is a form factor Huawei is no stranger to experimenting with. 

The company’s Pura X, for instance, is the first wide foldable smartphone in the industry. It features a 6.3-inch OLED main display with a 2120×1320 resolution and 16:10 aspect ratio, alongside a 3.5-inch square cover screen with a 980×980 resolution.

Huawei-Pura-X

If this new device is indeed Huawei’s next foldable, it could be part of the company’s strategy to counter Apple’s rumored foldable iPhone, which is also said to have a similar aspect ratio.

The rumored iPhone Fold is said to have a  7.7-inch display with a 14.1:10 aspect ratio, essentially resembling a small iPad when unfolded.

Compared to traditional vertical foldables, this new wide-screen approach could open up a different kind of user experience: more immersive reading, movie watching, browsing, and gaming without the need for constant scrolling or zooming.

Vivo V70 spotted with Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 on Geekbench

Vivo V70 spotted with Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 on Geekbench

Vivo is reportedly working on the Vivo V70 series of smartphones. Recently, the Vivo V70 Lite 4G was spotted at the Bluetooth SIG and FCC certification platforms. These listings revealed a few key specifications of the phone. At the same time, the Vivo V70 has been spotted in the IMEI database listing, revealing its model number, V2538. However, its specifications were not revealed until today, as the device has appeared on the Geekbench benchmarking platform.

Vivo V70 Geekbench listing

As per the Geekbench listing, the Vivo V70 is equipped with the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, which also powers the previous generation—the Vivo V60. As usual, the chipset’s name is not explicitly mentioned, but the CPU and GPU details available in the listing are sufficient to confirm the inclusion of the Snapdragon 7-series chip.

The Vivo V70 Geekbench listing further reveals that it has 8GB of RAM and Android 16 OS. It scored 1235 in the single-core test and 3920 in the multi-core test. The other details of the phone are under wraps.

Vivo V60 alternatives
Vivo V60

Vivo is expected to announce the Vivo V70 in the first quarter of 2026. The reason behind this is that the company is currently teasing the arrival of the Vivo X300 series in some Asian markets, and in India in particular, it is expected to launch in the first week of December. Since the company is currently focused on the X300 series, it is expected to officially tease the V70’s arrival a couple of weeks after the X300 series launch.

Vivo is also gearing up to launch the Vivo S50 and S50 Pro Mini in China in December. The Pro Mini model is likely to be rebranded as the Vivo X300 FE globally, whereas the S50 could be based on the Vivo V70.

Galaxy A37 makes its first appearance on Samsung’s test servers

Samsung’s next mid-range refresh is already in motion. The company is expected to launch the Galaxy S26 series in February 2026, and as usual, the Galaxy A lineup will follow soon after.

Right on cue, the Galaxy A37 has surfaced on Samsung’s internal test servers. The device appears under the model number SM-A376U, which all but confirms its identity. 

That “U” suffix indicates it’s the US variant, and interestingly, the test builds reference several American carriers, including AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and UScellular.

The listings don’t reveal any specs yet, but they do suggest that Samsung is gearing up for the A37’s debut. Given that the Galaxy A36 was announced back in March, it wouldn’t be surprising if its successor follows a similar timeline.

Here’s what its predecessor brings

For context, the Galaxy A36 features a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with Full HD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and Gorilla Glass Victus+ protection. 

Samsung managed to shave down the weight and thickness to 195 grams and 7.4mm, while keeping IP67 water and dust resistance intact. Under the hood, it runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 paired with One UI 7 based on Android 15.

Samsung also promises six years of software and security updates, which means the A36 (and likely the A37) will be supported well into 2031.

Samsung-Galaxy-A36-5G-Design-and-Display

As for the cameras, it has a 50MP main, 8MP ultrawide, and 5MP macro setup on the rear. The front camera is a 12MP sensor.

Powering everything is a 5,000mAh battery with 45W fast charging.

If Samsung sticks to its usual schedule, the Galaxy A37 could arrive as early as March 2026. We can expect small but meaningful refinements once again, and perhaps a few surprises along the way.
