Samsung Galaxy A57 Might Be in the Works: Brand’s Next Mid-Range Phone

Samsung might be working on the successor to one of its popular mid range smartphones. The Galaxy A57 was recently spotted, hinting at a new A-series model arriving soon. Samsung’s internal firmware has a model number that could be for the Galaxy A57. So here’s everything you need to know.

Galaxy A57 spotted on Samsung’s Test Server

The South Korean tech giant’s next Galaxy A series phone might be the Galaxy A57. This affordable device just surfaced on the brand’s test server, carrying the SM-A57B model number. It was being tested with its first internal build, A576BXXU0AYJ7/A576BOXM0AYJ7/A576BXXU0AYJ7. A screenshot of the database listing was shared by a user on X. In other words, the Galaxy A57 is likely already in active development..

Samsung Galaxy A56

With the Samsung Galaxy A56 already a strong performer in the segment, the Galaxy A57 is its direct successor. Knowing Samsung, we can expect incremental upgrades instead of major overhauls when talking about the cameras, design, and other aspects. Back in August 2025, the Galaxy A57 was spotted on GeekBench, which is a popular benchmarking platform. One of the biggest details that was revealed in the listing was a new Exynos chip with the S5E8865 model number.

This chip in question could be the Exynos 1680 SoC. But unfortunately, the recent tweet did not reveal any finer details of this smartphone. Although, we can expect some features like a tall AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, around a 5000mAh battery pack, and 45W wired fast charging.

Redmi Turbo 5’s Massive 9000mAh Battery Could Offer Power for Days

Thanks to advancements in battery technology, Chinese smartphone brands have been pushing the limits of battery capacity over the last two years. Now, a latest rumor has revealed that the Redmi Turbo 5 could be one such model that brings days’ worth of power thanks to an absolutely massive battery capacity.

Meet the Redmi Turbo 5: 9000mAh Battery Means Goodbye Battery Woes

While initial rumors had pointed to the Redmi Turbo 5 packing around a 7,500mAh cell, the latest leak from Digital Chat Station hints that the Redmi Turbo 5 could be powered by a massive 9,000mAh battery pack. The previous leak was also from the known tipster on Weibo, so the 9000mAh capacity could be for the higher end model in the Redmi Turb 5 series.

Even with the 7500mAh cell, the Redmi Turbo 5 features one of the biggest batteries on any smartphone. Current generation flagships are hitting the 7,000mAh+ mark, but these budget high end devices/affordable gaming phones would likely surpass the premium devices. DCS further added that a smartphone with a 10,000mAh battery is also being tested.

Based on what we know so far, the Redmi Turbo 5 will debut with an IP6 rating for water and dust resistance, house an in-display fingerprint scanner, and a metallic middle frame. Under the hood, the Turbo 5 is expected to be equipped with the Dimensity 8500 Ultra SoC. Alongside the impressive battery pack, the smartphone may offer a 100W wired fast charging support as ell. The Redmi Turbo 5 is expected to launch later this month, while the Turbo 5 Pro could debut in early 2026.

DJI Osmo Action 6 tipped to launch globally on November 19 with a variable aperture system

DJI’s product calendar has been unusually busy this quarter, and it looks like the company isn’t slowing down. Fresh rumours now point to a confirmed global launch date for its next action camera — and if the specs hold up, it could be DJI’s biggest imaging upgrade yet.

According to a new report from The New Camera, DJI is planning to unveil the Osmo Action 6 on November 19, placing it just days after the China launch of the DJI Neo 2 drone. The source cites an email allegedly sent to YouTuber PhotoRabz by a DJI “brand insider,” outlining a clear November timeline after what was supposedly an earlier October target. No screenshots or documents have been published, so the claim isn’t fully verifiable — but it does line up with DJI’s recent global rollout pattern.

This comes as DJI continues expanding beyond cameras and drones. The company just launched its first Romo-series robot vacuum internationally, and the Osmo Mobile 8 is expected to move beyond China soon. With multiple product lines in motion, a late-November slot for the Osmo Action 6 doesn’t seem far-fetched.

If the leaks are accurate, the Osmo Action 6 could deliver the most meaningful imaging jump since DJI introduced the Osmo Action 4. The new model is expected to feature a 1/1.1-inch CMOS sensor — larger than both the Action 4 and the Action 5 Pro (currently $349 on Amazon). Even more interesting is a rumored variable aperture system (f/2.0 to f/4.0), a rare feature in the action cam space, potentially giving users much finer control over exposure in bright outdoor scenes or low-light environments.

Video capabilities may also take a leap, with support for 8K recording at 30 fps, all while keeping the starting price at a competitive $329.

If DJI sticks to its usual playbook, an official teaser should drop soon, confirming whether this round of leaks is on target. For now, all signs suggest the Osmo Action 6 could be a major upgrade — and DJI’s next big launch is just around the corner.

This DIY drone flies without a battery

DIY creators often push boundaries with clever hacks and unusual builds, but every now and then someone attempts something that feels almost impossible. A drone that flies without a battery certainly fits that category — yet that’s exactly what a popular DIY engineer has just pulled off.

YouTuber and engineer Luke Maximo Bell has revealed his latest project: a drone powered entirely by solar energy, with no battery, no capacitor, and no backup storage of any kind. The feat comes just days after he and his father Mike Bell attempted to reclaim the Guinness World Record for the fastest drone with their 585 km/h Peregreen 3. This week, Luke shifted gears completely — from extreme speed to extreme efficiency.

To get a battery-free drone in the air, Luke kept the build as light as possible. He used a carbon-fiber frame and propellers, both for strength and to shave unnecessary grams. The star of the build is a long, rigid slat made up of 27 miniature solar panels, wired directly into the drone’s power system. With no storage buffer, every bit of energy needed for lift had to come straight from the sun.

After several adjustments and short test hops, Luke managed to fly the drone around a field. It wasn’t perfect — the drone wobbled whenever a light breeze hit it, and power delivery fluctuated with changes in sunlight — but it flew, powered only by the solar panel array. That alone marks the project as a success.

Looking ahead, Luke says this is just the beginning. He plans to build a more polished version outfitted with additional solar panels, GPS, and autonomous flight software. His ultimate goal: to attempt another Guinness World Record, this time for the longest-flying drone powered purely by the sun.

It may be early days, but the first flight proves the concept works — and hints at what dedicated hobby engineers can achieve with creativity, patience, and a lot of sunlight.

G-Shock MRG-B2000KT-3A Launches with Titanium Build, Hand-Engraved Phoenix Design, and Emerald Details

Casio has launched the G-Shock MRG-B2000KT-3A in Japan, a new limited-edition model inspired by traditional Japanese sword craftsmanship. Only 800 units will be sold worldwide, each engraved by master metalworker Masao Kobayashi.

G-Shock MRG-B2000KT-3AJR

The design takes cues from the tsuba, the guard between a sword’s blade and handle, known for both protection and decoration. The bezel features a phoenix engraving created using the Shishi-Aibori hammering technique. The phoenix, a long-standing symbol of peace and prosperity, is hand-carved with a hammer and chisel, making each piece unique. The bezel is made of titanium with a green DLC coating that mimics the “kuroganeiro” or black iron color seen in forged steel. Four emeralds, representing wisdom and spiritual strength, are set into the bezel screws for a touch of contrast and depth.

The case carries a unique pattern inspired by “nie,” the crystallized edge pattern seen on tempered swords. It is made by recrystallizing pure titanium and finished with brown AIP coating for hardness and a copper tone. A metal plate marked “2025 LIMITED” is set on the side at 9 o’clock. The dial ring has a gradient finish that fades from red to orange, while the arrow feather design on the dial references the hamaya charm used to ward off evil. These details are created using precision machining at Yamagata Casio.

The dark green Durasoft fluorine rubber strap is durable, soft to the touch, and resistant to discoloration and wear. It features a Bishamon tortoiseshell pattern, a Japanese symbol of strength. The titanium clasp is deep-hardened and treated with the same brown AIP finish for added durability.

The MRG-B2000KT-3A offers 20-bar water resistance, Bluetooth connectivity for automatic time correction, solar power charging, and multi-band radio control compatible with Japan, North America, Europe, and China. Other functions include a Super Illuminator LED light, world time for 300 cities, stopwatch, timer, alarm, and a power-saving feature.

The watch measures 54.7 x 49.8 x 16.9 mm, weighs 138 g, and uses a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating. The case and bezel are made from titanium, and the crown uses a screw-lock structure. It keeps an average monthly accuracy of ±15 seconds when not connected to radio or Bluetooth signals.

Pricing & availability

Casio’s G-Shock MRG-B2000KT-3A will go on sale in Japan in November 2025 for ¥935,000 (about $6,073). Only 800 serial-numbered pieces will be produced worldwide, and Casio is expected to release the model in other regions in the coming weeks. Each watch will come with its serial number and a special edition package.

Price & Value~$800, better battery and camera for the cost~$900, faster charging and chipset but pricierOppo Find X9 Pro

1. Design and Display

Build and Feel:
Both the Oppo Find X9 Pro and OnePlus 15 exude premium craftsmanship, with glass and aluminum designs that scream flagship quality. Oppo leans toward a slightly more rounded and substantial frame, giving it a luxurious in-hand feel, while the OnePlus 15 offers a sleeker, lighter body that feels more performance-driven. Oppo’s emphasis on elegance contrasts with OnePlus’s sportier aesthetic, particularly with its glass fiber variant that adds durability and grip. Both carry IP68/IP69 ratings, but the OnePlus 15 edges ahead with slightly higher immersion resistance. 

The overall refinement and design polish feel marginally superior on the Oppo Find X9 Pro, which retains the more cohesive luxury identity.

Display Quality:
Both phones use 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED panels with 1B colors, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision, offering near-identical resolutions and brightness levels. The Oppo Find X9 Pro delivers a cinematic viewing experience with its vivid calibration and slightly higher peak brightness of 3600 nits, while the OnePlus 15 emphasizes smoothness with a 165Hz refresh rate — ideal for gaming and fast UI transitions. Oppo’s superior HDR tone mapping gives it a slight lead in content depth and contrast, whereas OnePlus provides a more responsive and fluid everyday experience. In essence, Oppo is better suited for media enthusiasts, while OnePlus excels in high-performance scenarios.

Verdict:
Oppo Find X9 Pro edges out with its superior HDR performance and immersive brightness, ideal for multimedia users. However, the OnePlus 15’s 165Hz display makes it more appealing to gamers and those who prioritize fluidity. The choice comes down to whether one values cinematic quality or pure responsiveness.

2. Specifications

Performance:
OnePlus 15 is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, a powerhouse designed for top-tier performance and efficiency. Its custom Oryon CPU cores and Adreno 840 GPU offer a significant leap in AI processing, graphics handling, and sustained thermals. In comparison, Oppo’s Dimensity 9500, though no slouch, prioritizes balanced efficiency and cooler operation over raw power. Benchmark enthusiasts and gamers will appreciate OnePlus’s faster load times and superior frame stability, whereas Oppo users benefit from smoother thermal control and extended device longevity. 

OnePlus leads in processing intensity, but Oppo’s chipset ensures more consistent temperature management during extended use.

Battery and Charging:
Oppo’s massive 7500 mAh battery surpasses most flagships, promising outstanding endurance, easily lasting through heavy use. OnePlus, while slightly smaller at 7300 mAh, compensates with its blazing 120W wired charging, achieving a full charge in just 40 minutes. Oppo’s 80W wired and 50W wireless speeds are still impressive but trail behind. For users prioritizing longer runtime, 

Oppo delivers; for those who demand speed and efficiency, OnePlus sets the bar higher. The inclusion of bypass charging and multi-standard support on the OnePlus further enhances its daily practicality.

Verdict:
The OnePlus 15 dominates in raw performance and charging versatility, offering an edge to power users and gamers. Oppo counters with class-leading endurance and cooler sustained performance. Both deliver exceptional battery reliability, but OnePlus’s charging system is a clear differentiator for those who need quick turnarounds.

3. Camera

Main and Secondary Lenses:
The Oppo Find X9 Pro takes the upper hand with its triple setup, a 50MP wide, 200MP periscope telephoto, and 50MP ultrawide lens. The 200MP zoom sensor offers exceptional clarity and light capture, rivaling professional-grade optics. Its Hasselblad color calibration and LUT preview add a creative edge for photographers. The OnePlus 15, while sporting three 50MP sensors, features a smaller periscope telephoto lens with 3.5x optical zoom and overall smaller sensor sizes. Oppo’s camera system is clearly designed for depth, dynamic range, and rich tonal accuracy, while OnePlus focuses on speed and AI optimization. 

The result: Oppo provides a more photography-oriented experience, whereas OnePlus targets consistent, natural-looking results across conditions.

Selfie Camera:
Oppo’s 50MP front sensor significantly outpaces OnePlus’s 32MP shooter in both resolution and detail retention. Its PDAF and wider aperture make it ideal for vloggers and users who prioritize clarity. The OnePlus 15’s 32MP sensor still performs well with balanced tones and strong HDR support, but Oppo’s superior sharpness and focus speed give it an advantage for both photo and video capture.

Verdict:
Oppo Find X9 Pro offers a more advanced and versatile camera experience, particularly for professionals and content creators. OnePlus 15, however, delivers more consistent performance and faster image processing. Oppo wins for creative control and depth, while OnePlus stands strong in reliability and speed.

4. Pricing

At approximately $800, the Oppo Find X9 Pro undercuts the $900 OnePlus 15, despite offering comparable, if not superior, hardware in certain areas. Oppo’s inclusion of a 200MP zoom lens, larger battery, and slightly better display brightness make it a strong value proposition. OnePlus justifies its higher price with faster charging, Qualcomm’s top-tier chipset, and a slightly more performance-focused design.

From a value perspective, the Oppo Find X9 Pro emerges as the more balanced and cost-effective choice. It caters to users seeking luxury aesthetics, long endurance, and professional-level photography at a lower price point. OnePlus 15, while pricier, appeals to enthusiasts who prioritize cutting-edge performance and charging technology.

Disclaimer:
Prices are approximate and may vary based on country, region, and applicable taxes

5. Conclusion

The Oppo Find X9 Pro and OnePlus 15 represent two different flagship philosophies. Oppo blends elegance, endurance, and camera mastery, offering premium performance without the top-tier price. Its larger battery, superior zoom lens, and vivid display cater to professionals and content-driven users. OnePlus 15, meanwhile, pushes raw power, faster charging, and performance-oriented optimizations that make it a better choice for gamers and multitaskers.

Verdict:
Oppo Find X9 Pro stands out with its unique 200MP telephoto lens and 7500mAh battery, delivering unmatched camera versatility and longevity. The OnePlus 15, on the other hand, redefines flagship speed and efficiency with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and 120W charging. 

Oppo wins on practicality and imaging excellence, while OnePlus triumphs in power and innovation. The final choice hinges on whether one values enduring performance or lightning-fast capability.

OnePlus Pad 3 vs OnePlus Pad 2 (China): Which one’s better?

OnePlus’ tablet line is a bit confusing at the moment. Globally, the company released the OnePlus Pad 3 this year, as a sequel to last year’s Snapdragon-powered OnePlus Pad 2. But in China, we just recently got the Pad 2, except this one has a Dimensity 9400+.

So technically, the China version of the “Pad 2” is newer than the global Pad 2 — yet branding-wise, the international model already moved on to the Pad 3. Confused? You’re not alone.

Let’s break it down: the China-only OnePlus Pad 2 is essentially a fresh 2025 tablet sitting between the global Pad 2 and Pad 3 in both specs and positioning. It’s not a downgrade, but it’s also not quite the same successor path as the global lineup.

While the Pad 2 is an older model, let’s go through how the Chinese Pad 2 stacks up against the global Pad 3. And is the naming difference hiding a better-than-expected device?

1. Performance

This is the main story. The OnePlus Pad 3 uses Snapdragon 8 Elite, Qualcomm’s top chip when it launched back in June. The China-only Pad 2 uses MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400+, which is a counterpart of the 8 Elite on Pad 2. 

Both chips perform very similarly; it would be hard to tell a real-world difference while using them, but the numbers can be all over and down between the models. 

ModelChipset
Pad 3 (Global)Snapdragon 8 Elite
Pad 2 (China)Dimensity 9400+

The Chinese Pad 2 also has a giant vapor chamber cooling system (46,000mm²). In comparison, the Pad 3 comes with a  34,857mm² vapor chamber system. Regardless, both should be enough to dissipate heat and stabilize the performance. 

Please Note: When you buy something using the links in our articles, we may earn a small commission at no cost to you.

2. Display

Both tablets use high-end 144Hz LCD panels with Dolby Vision. The main difference is size and purpose.

ModelSizeResolution
Pad 3 (Global)13.2″3392 × 2400
Pad 2 (China)12.1″3000 × 2120

The Pad 3’s bigger display gives you more room for writing, editing, multitasking, and desktop-style apps. The China Pad 2 keeps the compact 12-inch footprint, which many users actually prefer for reading, watching content, and traveling.

3. Software

ModelOS
Pad 3 GlobalColorOS 15 (Android 15)
Pad 2 ChinaColorOS 16

Yes — the China Pad 2 launches with a newer OS.

ColorOS 16 on the China Pad 2 brings practical additions:

  • Handwriting polish and smart note tools
  • Replay capture for gameplay
  • multi-window UI with 3 apps side by side + floating windows

OnePlus has been blending OxygenOS and ColorOS for years, but China always gets newer features first. If anything, this shows where global builds are likely heading.

4. Battery & Charging

ModelBatteryCharging
Pad 3 (Global)12,140mAh80W
Pad 2 (China)10,420mAh67W

The Pad 3 is clearly designed for longer workdays and desktop-style usage. Bigger tablet, bigger battery, faster charging. China’s Pad 2 still has a respectable battery, and its slimmer body explains the smaller cell.

5. Audio and hardware

ModelSpeakersWeightThickness
Pad 38 speakers675g6mm
Pad 2 ChinaLikely 6-speaker setup579g5.99mm

The global Pad 3 gives you more speaker channels, better for movies or work calls with spatial sound. But the China Pad 2 is noticeably lighter and a hair thinner. And for handheld use, that could be an aspect you might want to consider.

6. So which one is better?

It all depends on where you live. The Dimensity Pad 2 is currently exclusive to the Chinese market. So if import is a possibility, the OnePlus Pad 2 (China) could be a better deal if you want something thinner and lighter. But if you’re looking for a productivity-first flagship tablet, the OnePlus Pad 3 is still the top pick.
