Realme has been teasing the arrival of its next flagship, the GT 8 Pro, for both global and Indian markets. But the official launch date has remained a mystery—until now.
According to a new report from SmartPrix, Realme could unveil the GT 8 Pro on November 20th, pushing back from the previously rumored November 11th date.
The GT 8 Pro is Realme’s first smartphone made in collaboration with camera brand Ricoh GR. It features a 50MP main camera, a 200MP periscope lens with 3x optical zoom, and a 50MP ultrawide shooter.
Realme has also integrated a Ricoh GR Mode, which recreates the brand’s iconic 28mm and 40mm focal lengths. According to the company, the GT 8 Pro supports Quick Focus Mode and an immersive viewfinder mode to make point-and-shoot photography feel more natural.
Design-wise, Realme is experimenting a bit too. The GT 8 Pro sports a modular camera island bezel, allowing for optional user-replaceable modules — something you don’t see every day. It’s also surprisingly rugged, carrying IP66, IP68, and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance — more than most phones in its class.
Powering the device is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, paired with up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage.
The display is a 2K flat panel with a 144Hz refresh rate and 7000-nit peak brightness. It also houses a 32MP selfie camera and an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner.
Fueling it is a 7,000mAh battery that supports 120W wired and 50W wireless flash charging.
The GT 8 Pro starts at 3,999 yuan (around $560 / ₹50,000) for the 12GB + 256GB model. So, we can expect it to launch at around ₹60,000 in the Indian market.

The past week has been packed with Galaxy S26 leaks, but the rumor mill isn’t done yet. A new report has now hinted at when Samsung might finally unveil its next flagship lineup.
According to a Korean outlet (via @Jukan on X), Samsung is reportedly planning to hold its next Galaxy Unpacked event for the S26 series on February 25, about a month later than its usual schedule.
The event is said to be an “AI-focused” showcase taking place in San Francisco. A source familiar with Samsung’s plans told the outlet, “Samsung is preparing its first San Francisco Unpacked in three years, since the S23 launch in 2023,” adding, “As San Francisco has emerged as the hub of AI technology, it’s the perfect location for Samsung—the pioneer of the AI smartphone era—to hold its event.”
Samsung is to blame for itself
The delay could be tied to recent adjustments in Samsung’s lineup strategy. Earlier reports suggested that the Galaxy S25 Edge would replace the S26 Plus, but with the Edge’s lackluster sales, Samsung has apparently decided to bring the Plus model back in the league.
That means we’re once again looking at a familiar three-model setup: the Galaxy S26, S26 Plus, and S26 Ultra.

Interestingly, the report also claims that the Galaxy S26 series will be powered by Samsung’s Exynos 2600 chip—including the Ultra model—for the first time since the Galaxy S22 series. However, it will remain a dual-chip strategy, with some markets getting Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 instead.
As usual, Samsung is expected to split regions based on chipset availability, following the same pattern it has used in previous generations.

A new report out of China suggests Redmi might be gearing up to launch a phone with one of the largest batteries on a mainstream smartphone.
According to well-known tipster Digital Chat Station, a certain brand has finalized a 9,000mAh single-cell silicon battery that supports 100W fast charging. Even more ambitious, the company is reportedly testing a 10,000 mAh version in its labs.
The leak doesn’t name which brand is behind the project, but Chinese outlet MyDrivers believes it could be part of the upcoming Redmi Turbo 5 series, which is expected to debut sometime between December and January.
It could debut on the Redmi Turbo 5
Still, there’s some confusion around the actual battery capacity. A separate report earlier this week, also citing DCS, claimed that the Redmi Turbo 5 would feature a 7,500mAh battery instead.
Older leaks, however, pointed to a 9,000 mAh+ unit for Turbo 5. So either the larger pack is reserved for another Turbo 5 variant, or perhaps a completely different Redmi device altogether.
Under the hood, the Redmi Turbo 5 is rumored to be the first phone powered by MediaTek’s new Dimensity 8500 chipset. Built on TSMC’s 4nm process, it’s said to feature an octa-core Arm Cortex-A725 CPU clocked at up to 3.4GHz, paired with a Mali-G720 GPU running around 1.5GHz.

Final has launched the UX5000, the latest model in its popular UX series of wireless headphones. The company says it aims to deliver the same level of sound quality as wired headphones while keeping the convenience of wireless use.
The UX5000’s sound tuning is inspired by Final’s flagship A10000 earphones. Its refined acoustic design produces crisp highs and deep, well-controlled bass. Inside, a large 40mm dynamic driver and advanced damping system help bring out fine details across all kinds of music, from classical to rock and jazz.
At the core of the headphones is Qualcomm’s QCC3095 chip, built for both efficiency and sound precision. The UX5000 supports the LDAC codec for high-resolution wireless playback and uses a hybrid noise-cancelling setup that combines feedforward and feedback microphones. This system reduces outside noise without compromising clarity. For times when you need to stay aware of your surroundings, the Ambient Mode allows external sound to pass through naturally.
The UX5000 also supports wired playback through the included 3.5mm cable. This mode lowers latency to about one-tenth of Bluetooth while maintaining the same sound quality, supported by the internal DSP.
Built for long-term use, the headphones feature a textured, scratch-resistant finish that holds up well with daily wear. The memory-foam ear pads and flexible headband provide comfort during extended listening sessions and can be replaced easily without tools. Even the battery can be swapped out through Final’s official service.
The companion “final UX5000” app lets users adjust noise-cancelling levels, fine-tune audio with a 10-band equalizer, and manage multipoint Bluetooth connections. Battery life is rated at up to 65 hours with ANC off, and the headphones use Bluetooth 5.4 for stable performance.
Pricing & availability
The Final UX5000 is priced at 32,800 yen and comes with a semi-hard carrying case and 3.5mm cable. It will be available through Final’s official store, major electronics retailers, and specialty audio shops across Japan.
Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series has been surrounded by mixed signals for months, but a new set of leaked specs paints a much more encouraging picture. Instead of minor tweaks, the S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra may finally bring the camera upgrades fans have been asking for.
One of the biggest rumored changes is to the 3x telephoto camera. Samsung has relied on a 10MP 1/3.52-inch sensor in Ultra models and an even smaller 1/3.94-inch sensor in non-Ultra models for years — a clear disadvantage compared to rivals like the Vivo X300 Pro. The latest leak claims all three S26 models will move to a much larger 12MP 1/2.55-inch sensor for the 3x telephoto, which should improve light capture and overall zoom clarity. The Ultra may even step up to a 50MP 3x sensor, though that part isn’t “confirmed” yet.
The Ultra might also gain a larger 5,400mAh battery, up from 5,000mAh, assuming Samsung can keep thickness in check. All three phones are said to adopt Samsung’s newer M14 OLED panels with QHD resolution: 6.3 inches for the S26, 6.7 inches for the S26+, and 6.9 inches for the Ultra. For comparison, the current S25 uses a 6.2-inch 1080p panel.
The S26 and S26+ are reportedly in for meaningful camera upgrades too. Both may finally get a 50MP ultrawide (up from 12MP), and the 50MP main camera could use a larger 1/1.3-inch sensor — the same size as the S25 Ultra’s 200MP sensor.
Performance will vary by region, with either the Exynos 2600 or Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 powering the lineup. Even the Ultra may ship with Exynos in some markets this year.
One wild card remains: a slim “S26 More Slim” model with a 6.6-inch QHD display, dual 50MP cameras, paired with an unspecified telephoto, and a ~4,300mAh battery. Its status is unclear, but unlike the canceled S26 Edge, it reportedly avoids major compromises.
If accurate, these changes suggest the S26 series could be a far more cohesive — and far more improved — lineup than early leaks indicated.

Big-ticket smartphone orders always come with a bit of excitement — and a bit of anxiety — but one Bengaluru buyer’s Diwali week surprise turned into something far stranger than anyone could have expected. What was supposed to be a brand-new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 ended up being… a piece of floor tile. And the only reason the buyer isn’t out $2,000 today is because he recorded the unboxing from start to finish.
The incident came to light through NDTV journalist Deepak Bopanna, who shared details of the incident on X. According to the report, the customer, an engineer based in Bengaluru, had ordered the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and paid the full amount upfront via credit card. The Amazon parcel arrived with factory-style packaging intact. Even the Fold 7’s retail box appeared completely sealed.
But when he tore open the box — all while filming the unboxing — the phone-shaped package revealed nothing but a tile placed where the $2,000 smartphone should have been.
The footage turned out to be crucial. With an unboxing video as evidence, Amazon quickly issued a full refund and initiated a detailed investigation into the supply chain to figure out where the scam occurred. The buyer also filed a complaint with local police, who have begun their own probe into the matter.
It’s a rare case, but not unheard of — and it highlights the growing trend of high-value delivery scams, where fake or swapped products are slipped into authentic-looking packaging. Had the customer not recorded the unboxing, resolving the issue could have taken weeks or even months, with no guarantee of reimbursement.
The takeaway is simple: whenever you’re accepting an expensive delivery — whether it’s a phone, laptop, or luxury item — record the unboxing from the moment you receive the parcel.

Razer has partnered with Valve to launch the Razer | Counter-Strike 2 Collection, turning the famous Dragon Lore skin from Counter-Strike into real-world esports gear.
Dragon Lore is one of the most well-known skins in Counter-Strike history. It first appeared in July 2014 as part of the Cobblestone Collection for Counter‑Strike: Global Offensive and quickly became one of the most coveted cosmetic items in the game.
