After some confusion yesterday, OnePlus has now cleared the air. The OnePlus 15 and OnePlus Ace 6 will officially launch in China on October 27.
We’ve already known quite a bit about the OnePlus 15 thanks to weeks of teasers, but the Ace 6 has stayed mostly under wraps — until now. OnePlus officially revealed its design today, giving us our first proper look at the upcoming phone.
The Ace 6 carries a familiar vibe with a camera module that looks a lot like the OnePlus 15’s, though it’s a simpler dual-camera setup, likely featuring just the main and ultrawide lenses.
The silver variant shown in the image sports a striped finish on the back with a bold “ACE” logo to the right, but we also expect to see more understated color options of the phone during launch.
On the front, the Ace 6 is rumored to pack a 1.5K BOE OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor.
Powering the device will be the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, backed by a massive 7,800mAh battery that supports 120W fast charging. It will also have a metal frame body with an IP68 rating and toughened glass protection for durability.
The more premium OnePlus 15, on the other hand, is confirmed to run on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, with a 165Hz 1.5K OLED screen and a 7,000mAh battery supporting 100W wired and 50W wireless charging.
OnePlus also confirmed today that the OnePlus 15 will be available in Sand Dune, Absolute Black, and a soft Mist Purple. Likewise, its triple-camera setup is expected to feature a 50MP Sony LYT-700 main sensor, a 50MP periscope telephoto using Samsung’s JN5 sensor, and another 50MP ultrawide camera.

Oppo finally pulled the curtains off the Find X9 and X9 Pro smartphones in China last night. Alongside the domestic debut, we now also have details about their global launch, which isn’t too far away.
Oppo has confirmed that it will unveil both the Find X9 series and the accompanying ColorOS 16 globally on October 28th at an event in Barcelona, Spain. However, the two phones won’t reach India until November.
According to an earlier report, Oppo is expected to hold a separate launch event specifically for the Indian market.
Oppo Find X9
The Find X9 features a 6.59-inch flat Tianma OLED display with a 2760×1256 resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and up to 3600 nits of peak brightness. It’s protected by Oppo’s Crystal Shield Glass and framed by impressively slim 1.45mm bezels.
Inside, the phone runs on MediaTek’s new Dimensity 9500 chip, paired with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage.
The camera setup consists of three 50MP sensors: a Sony LYT-808 main lens with OIS, a Samsung JN5 ultra-wide, and a Sony LYT-600 periscope telephoto with 3x optical zoom. There’s also a 32MP Sony IMX615 camera up front.
The Find X9 draws power from a 7025mAh battery, supporting 80W wired and 50W wireless charging, with 5W reverse wireless charging included.
Oppo Find X9 Pro
The Pro model steps things up in display, optics, and endurance. It uses a slightly larger 6.78-inch LTPO OLED panel with 1–120Hz adaptive refresh and even thinner 1.15mm quad-edge bezels.
It’s powered by the same Dimensity 9500 chip but upgrades the telephoto camera to a 200MP sensor and the selfie camera to 50MP.
Both models support 4K video recording at up to 120fps and include Hasselblad’s XPAN mode for cinematic shooting. The Find X9 Pro also packs a bigger 7500mAh battery while maintaining the same charging speeds.

Vivo’s new flagship, the X300 Pro, feels like the brand’s latest attempt to blur the line between its “mainstream premium” and its “Ultra” lineup. If you looked at it on paper without the name, you might easily mistake it for one of Vivo’s more expensive Ultra models.
And that’s the point. This phone borrows nearly everything that made the X200 Ultra stand out, but brings it to a slightly more approachable tier. Here are the things that make Vivo X300 Pro truly special.
Vivo has made cameras the heart of its flagship phones, and the X300 Pro keeps that focus front and center. On paper, this is one of the most capable camera systems outside of Vivo’s own Ultra range.
It shares a lot of DNA with the X200 Ultra from earlier this year, even supporting the same telephoto extender lens accessory that first debuted with that device.
It’s the telephoto that really tells the story. Vivo worked with Samsung to develop a new 200-megapixel HPB sensor. It’s an 85mm-equivalent lens with optical image stabilization and a 3.7x optical zoom.
On paper, it’s nearly identical to the industry-leading periscope found in the X200 Ultra. The only small trade-off is a slightly narrower f/2.67 aperture, which may let in a bit less light, but most users won’t notice that difference outside of side-by-side tests.
The X300 Pro uses Sony’s new LYT-828 sensor for the main camera. It has a brighter f/1.6 aperture for improved low-light performance and faster shutter response.
Even the 50MP ultrawide, though technically smaller in sensor size than the Ultra’s, supports autofocus, 4K video capture, and macro photography. All three cameras shoot 4K at up to 120 frames per second and can capture 10-bit Log video with Dolby Vision HDR. There’s also 8K recording, and support for Zeiss T* lens coating to reduce glare and ghosting.
2. Support for telephoto extender
Vivo X300 Pro telephoto converter
One of the more interesting things Vivo has done is bring support for its clip-on telephoto extender to the X300 Pro. It’s a physical 2.35x optical add-on that mounts over the phone’s telephoto lens via a special case.
The extender turns the phone into a pseudo-compact camera, capable of zooming further than most smartphones without digital cropping.
Now, that same accessory works with both the X300 and X300 Pro. It’s sold separately for ¥1,299 (about $180) or bundled in a Photography Kit that includes a grip and an extra battery.
It’s surprising to see Vivo open up this feature to a non-Ultra phone so soon. Most brands tend to keep these perks exclusive to their top-tier models. Now, I’m excited to see what the Vivo X300 Ultra will bring to differentiate itself from the Pro phones. The telephoto extender was the main highlight of the X200 Ultra.
3. Performance that keeps up with the best
Inside, the X300 Pro runs on MediaTek’s new Dimensity 9500 chipset, built on a 3-nanometer process. The chip goes head-to-head with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.
The Dimensity 9500 features an all-big-core CPU design, with one C1 Ultra core running at 4.21 GHz, three C1-Premium cores at 3.5 GHz, and four C1-Pro cores clocked at 2.7 GHz.
Paired with up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage, this is flagship-level hardware through and through. The phone ships with Android 16 running Vivo’s new OriginOS 6, and the company promises four years of major updates.
Everything about the X300 Pro’s internals points to efficiency, and that’s reflected in the battery design too. Vivo uses a 6,510mAh silicon-carbon battery, which the company claims performs like a 7,500mAh cell in traditional lithium-ion terms. It supports 90W wired charging, 40W wireless charging, and both reverse wired and wireless charging.
4. Integration with the Apple ecosystem
Perhaps the most unexpected feature is its integration with Apple’s ecosystem. Vivo claims the X300 Pro is the first Android phone that can seamlessly sync with Apple devices.
Users can access iPhone photos, share files with a shake gesture, or even edit videos across devices. This feature is built into OriginOS 6, though you’ll need to download an additional app from the App Store to enable cross-device communication.
And to be fair, the services it offers make the download worth it. The X300 series can sync health and fitness data directly from an Apple Watch to the Vivo Health app.
More impressively, you can receive call and message notifications from X300 to your Apple Watch, something previously exclusive to only iPhones. You can also track your AirPods without extra software, use your phone as an extended display on a Mac, and more.
At this point, Vivo is leaving no stone unturned to give both Android and iOS users a reason to switch or upgrade to its phones, and that could be a major factor in the X300’s success.
5. Design and Display
Vivo X300 Pro
The display is another highlight. It’s a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and a claimed peak brightness of 4,500 nits.
The screen supports Ultra HDR image rendering and 2160Hz PWM dimming, which helps reduce flicker for people sensitive to it. Beneath it sits an ultrasonic fingerprint reader, which tends to be faster and more reliable than the optical scanners used in most other Android phones.
Physically, the X300 Pro looks and feels premium. It has a glass back, an aluminum alloy frame, and a large but comfortable body — 161.2mm tall, 8mm thick, and 226 grams.
Vivo has gone further with durability this time, giving the phone both IP68 and IP69 ratings, meaning it can handle not just submersion but also high-pressure water jets. That’s rare, even among high-end phones.
You won’t find a headphone jack here, but Vivo compensates with 24-bit Hi-Res audio through its stereo speakers and wireless support for aptX HD and LHDC 5 codecs. There’s also Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, infrared, and optional satellite connectivity, depending on the region.
6. A more accessible flagship
The Vivo X300 Pro starts at ¥5,299 (around $745), which makes it significantly cheaper than most “Ultra” phones while offering nearly the same performance and camera capabilities.
The regular X300, which starts at ¥4,399 (about $620), shares most of the same hardware but comes in a smaller 6.31-inch body and slightly different camera arrangement.

Samsung has reportedly canceled its slim and trim Edge series after releasing just one device in the lineup. The company announced the Galaxy S25 Edge in May this year and was, in fact, working on the S26 Edge for launch next year.
However, Samsung has now scrapped the idea of slim phones in its flagship Galaxy lineup, according to a report from South Korea’s NewsPim. The news was later corroborated by several industry tipsters and media outlets independently.
Galaxy S25 Edge
Low sales of the S25 Edge appear to be the main reason behind the discontinuation of the Edge series. Reportedly, the phone sold only 190,000 units in its first month after launch. During the same period, the S25 sold 1.17 million units, the S25 Plus sold 840,000, and the S25 Ultra reached 2.55 million units.
As of August, cumulative sales of the Edge stood at 1.31 million units, compared to 8.28 million for the S25, 5.05 million for the Plus, and 12.18 million for the Ultra.
S26 Edge might see the light of day
Interestingly, there had been internal discussions at one point within Samsung about not renewing the Galaxy S26 Plus and instead replacing it with the S25 Edge. Samsung has reportedly now resumed development of the S26 Plus, but, ironically, has decided to discontinue the Edge entirely.
Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge render
That said, there’s still some hope that Samsung might eventually launch the Galaxy S26 Edge, as reports suggest the company has already completed much of its development. The device might get a separate release in the future. In fact, high-quality renders of the phone leaked back in September, showing a camera module design spanning the width of the rear panel.
So, Samsung seems to have been quite far along in the development process, meaning it’s still possible that the S26 Edge could materialize despite everything.
OnePlus is known for its premium tablets, in addition to its smartphones. Recently, the brand made its entry into the affordable tablet segment with the launch of the OnePlus Pad Lite.
The device is available in several markets around the world, making it a viable option for someone wanting a tablet without breaking the bank. It primarily competes with similar affordable options from fellow Chinese brands.
Upon its release, OnePlus India sent me a unit to try out. Having used the device for the last couple of months, I have shared my thoughts on it in this article.
As always, the brand had no editorial input or early look at this piece.
The OnePlus Pad Lite is a sub-₹20,000 tablet in India. While in Europe, it retails at around €200. With the ongoing festive deals, which are expected to continue till the end of the year, the product is now even more affordable worldwide (wherever it is sold).
At this price, the tablet is targeted at budget-conscious buyers. More specifically, the OnePlus Pad Lite is catered toward students.
Not only the price, but the features it offers and the way it looks all suggest the tablet is intended for students and the youth. Let’s find out how.
2. How does it feel?
The OnePlus Pad Lite is well-built and ergonomically designed. It is comfortable to hold for a long duration as its 530g weight is evenly distributed within a 7.4mm thin form factor.
The tablet arrives in a single Aero Blue color option, which offers a dual-tone finish. Both the rear and front cameras are placed on the longer edge, and therefore, your hands don’t get in the way when holding it.
The device is big enough with its 11-inch display and compact enough (254.9 x 166.5 mm) to carry around anywhere. It can be fitted in backpacks of all sizes with ease.
The tablet’s striking blue color and subtle 1+ logo make it an aspirational, fashionable tech product for budget-conscious buyers, such as students and young adults.
3. What does it offer?
The OnePlus Pad Lite is built around an 11-inch screen with a 16:10 aspect ratio. Hence, the tablet is rectangular in shape.
It is perfect for watching movies and reading books without much scrolling. If you are into vertical short-form content (Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts), it is well-suited for that too.
The display is complemented by a good set of quad speakers. These not only get loud but also deliver a commendable surround sound experience for the price.
The device boots OxygenOS 15 based on Android 15 with multi-tasking and ecosystem features baked in. Your OnePlus smartphone seamlessly connects with the tablet to offer convenient features, such as screen mirroring, clipboard sharing, media sync, and file management. OnePlus also promises three OS upgrades and six years of security updates, unlike competitors.
The 9,340mAh cell inside the tablet offers solid battery life even with a 4G cellular connection. The device can easily last a day, and some more, with mixed usage. Thanks to 33W charging support, the battery refuels within an hour and a half.
4. What does it miss?
The display on the OnePlus Pad Lite is adequate. It is neither the brightest nor the sharpest in its segment, as its 1920 x 1200 resolution only delivers 207 PPI.
Coming from a smartphone or a more expensive tablet, you will require some time to get used to the screen. Once your eyes get familiar with the display, there won’t be an issue until you start comparing it with others.
Further, the screen does not offer support for stylus input like its competitors. This could be a dealbreaker for students who prefer digital note-taking over physical notes.
Finally, the MediaTek Helio G100 chipset is not a fast chip. So you may experience stutters here and there. There’s no easy solution to this problem, as even competitors feature the same or even less powerful chips.
Both these aforementioned tablets cost about the same, and yet offer a sharper display and support for stylus input. Lenovo even bundles the stylus in the box, while Xiaomi charges extra.
But none of them have the software chops of the OnePlus Pad Lite. They don’t offer stellar battery performance or fast charging either.
Looks can be subjective, but in my opinion, the OnePlus Pad Lite has a better design, especially due to its rear camera placement.
The display is OnePlus Pad Lite’s Achilles’ heel. If you can forego that (difficult for some), it is a better product than the other two.
So do we recommend the OnePlus Pad Lite? Yes, we do, especially for students who are on a tight budget, both school-goers and college-goers alike.
Unlike the competitors, the OnePlus Pad Lite will remain fresh for years to come with three promised OS upgrades. And if you happen to own a OnePlus smartphone, it comes out as a default option with added ecosystem benefits.

Last month, Xiaomi held a major launch event in China to unveil the Xiaomi 17 series of flagship smartphones. Among them, the Xiaomi 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max stood out for their distinctive secondary rear displays, which drew strong consumer interest. Now, according to tipster Digital Chat Station, the company has already begun work on the Xiaomi 18 series, expected to arrive next year.
Xiaomi 18 series’ secondary to become more versatile
According to Digital Chat Station, the upcoming Xiaomi 18 series will continue the rear display design that debuted on the Xiaomi 17 Pro models. However, the tipster claims that Xiaomi plans to introduce more creative enhancements to the secondary display, likely in the form of expanded software features and improved interactivity.
While details remain limited, the rear screen could gain more functional control options, such as notification handling, camera viewfinder assistance, or contextual widgets.
Xiaomi-17-Pro-Ma
To recall, the rear display design first appeared on the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, which featured a 1.1-inch AMOLED panel. It disappeared with the Xiaomi 12 series but made a comeback with the 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max. Market data indicates that the premium 17 Pro models accounted for nearly 80% of total series sales, highlighting the growing appeal of this design among high-end users.
Likely, the lineup will feature the next-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chipset and may debut in September 2026. With nearly an year remaining for the expected launch, the rumor mill is expected to leak more details about the Xiaomi 18 lineup in the coming months.

The race is on for Xiaomi’s next big automotive reveal. Xiaomi YU9, the company’s third car, has broken cover in Xinjiang, China, sparking a wave of buzz across the industry. What makes this test stand out is not just the extreme mountain terrain, but the fact that CEO Lei Jun himself is on site, fueling speculation that the YU9 could be nearing a major milestone on its road to a 2026 launch.
Spy photos of a camouflaged SUV believed to be the YU9 surfaced online during testing in Xinjiang. The site, located at the foot of the Kunlun Mountains, is known for its high elevation and extreme weather conditions. These factors make it an ideal location for endurance testing of powertrain systems and overall vehicle performance.
The focus of the current test phase is on battery life, charging performance, and sun protection, key elements for electric and hybrid vehicles operating in harsh environments. This kind of high-altitude testing mirrors the process Xiaomi followed for its earlier models, the Xiaomi SU7 and Xiaomi YU7, shortly before their official launches.
Top Executives on Site
Lei Jun confirmed his arrival in Xinjiang through social media posts, sharing photos taken near the Kunlun Mountains. Other top executives also participated in the testing process. This level of executive involvement highlights the strategic importance of the YU9 project for Xiaomi’s growing automotive business.

Hybrid Powertrain and Long EV Range
Although official specifications have not been released, leaked and rumored details suggest that the YU9 will use an extended-range hybrid powertrain. It is expected to feature an 80 kWh battery, offering more than 400 km of pure electric range. The SUV’s expected length is over 5.2 meters with a height of around 1.8 meters, placing it in the large D-segment category.
Spy photos also suggest that the YU9 may not use a dual-screen layout in its central control area but is likely to feature lidar sensors for advanced driver assistance functions.
Market Launch Expected in 2026
The first spy photos of the YU9 appeared in late 2024, and according to a report from Deutsche Bank, Xiaomi plans to launch a large hybrid SUV in 2026. Given its size, powertrain, and testing timeline, the YU9 fits this description closely. This suggests that the vehicle is moving toward pre-production testing, with a formal debut likely in the near future.
Xiaomi Auto’s Rapid Growth
Xiaomi’s entry into the automotive sector began in March 2021, and progress has been rapid. The company completed its first trial production car in August 2023 and launched the SU7 in March 2024. The YU7 followed in May 2025, marking Xiaomi’s second major EV release. The company also secured its own manufacturing qualification in July 2024 and expanded its retail and service network across China.
By July 2025, cumulative deliveries of Xiaomi vehicles exceeded 300,000 units. Alongside new model development, Xiaomi is also investing in advanced autonomous driving technology through its Xiaomi HAD system, set to launch by the end of 2024.
A Strategic SUV Launch Ahead
With high-altitude testing underway, executive presence on site, and a clear product roadmap, the YU9 is shaping up to be a major addition to Xiaomi’s automotive lineup. Its extended-range hybrid powertrain and large SUV profile suggest the company is aiming to compete strongly in China’s high-end SUV market segment starting in 2026.
Tomorrow, Nubia will announce the Red Magic 11 Pro series of gaming flagships in China. A day before the launch, the company confirmed the battery size and fast charging capabilities of the phone. Here’s a look at what makes the Red Magic 11 Pro series so special.
Red Magic 11 Pro series battery size, charging details confirmed

As per the 3C certification, the series will also have support for 120W wired charging. With such a massive battery inside, the Red Magic 11 Pro series is expected to deliver extended playtime for heavy gaming sessions without frequent charging interruptions.
The Red Magic 11 Pro will also introduce the brand’s new “Pulsating Liquid Cooling Engine,” featuring AI-grade cooling fluid that remains stable between -60°C and 108°C.

Dreame, best known for its smart home ecosystem and robot vacuums, is venturing deeper into the high-end appliance market with the launch of its new 501L “Time Island” cross-door refrigerator. The product is now available for pre-order in China at a price of 6,248 yuan ($876).
Dreame 501L Time Island Refrigerator Specs
The refrigerator has a total capacity of 501 liters, which includes a 310-liter refrigerator compartment, a 168-liter freezer, and a 23-liter variable temperature drawer. The drawer supports three adjustable modes, allowing users to store different items such as meat, beverages, or baby food at optimized temperatures. The appliance operates at a low noise level of 36 decibels and consumes approximately 0.96 kWh per day.
Dreame has equipped the refrigerator with a full-area dynamic sterilization system. The system uses real-time sensors and five layers of purification technology: ultraviolet sterilization, active oxygen disinfection, negative ion purification, free radical neutralization, and catalytic odor decomposition. According to the company, this setup eliminates up to 99.9% of bacteria and pesticide residues across all internal compartments, including the refrigerator, freezer, and variable temperature zones.
The Time Island refrigerator also features Dreame’s VITA Fresh-Lock technology, which maintains up to 91% humidity levels inside the refrigerator using a constant-humidity membrane. This technology helps preserve the freshness of fruits and vegetables. Dreame claims that blueberries stored in this environment can retain over 95% of their weight after ten days.
The deep-freeze system reaches temperatures as low as -32°C. This feature helps food pass through the microcrystalline stage more quickly, which preserves texture and reduces nutrient loss. Dreame says this process is especially useful for storing meat and seafood.
The refrigerator supports smart home connectivity through the Dreame Life app, allowing users to monitor temperature, receive alerts, and control food storage remotely. Dreame has designed the appliance with a minimalist aesthetic, using a Bright Moon White panel and dual wood-texture waistlines. The 600mm flat-embedded body allows the refrigerator to align flush with cabinetry, creating a seamless look in modern kitchens.
In related news, Dreame has recently introduced the T60 Ultra floor scrubber featuring 25,000Pa suction, dual AI arms, and an ultra-slim design. The company has also launched its first washer-dryer that replicates hand-washing with AI-driven precision.

Baseus has announced the Security X1 Pro Outdoor Dual Camera, a smart AI-powered security system that introduces dual independent tracking. The company calls it the world’s first dual-tracking outdoor security camera and is launching it on Kickstarter today with a discounted early-bird price.
Baseus Security X1 Pro Specifications
The X1 Pro features two independent 3K cameras with 125-degree lenses. Each camera supports motorized panning of up to 55 degrees, creating a combined 300-degree coverage area. Unlike single-lens systems, both cameras can track separate subjects at the same time. The device also supports Live Cross-Cam AI tracking, which allows one lens to pass motion tracking to the other without losing sight of a moving subject.
The cameras can run in dual sentry and patrol mode. Both PIR sensors stay active in standby, and the lenses automatically begin tracking when movement is detected. The cameras can also rotate on scheduled patrols to scan large areas.
The Baseus X1 Pro features dual 3K resolution capture with 8x digital zoom and an eight-meter detection range. It integrates spotlights for nighttime visibility and supports both color and infrared night vision. The companion app enables a split-screen view, allowing live monitoring from both lenses simultaneously.
The camera system uses a detachable solar panel paired with a 150-day battery life. Baseus claims that 20 minutes of sunlight can power the device for 24 hours of operation. The panel supports flexible mounting for maximum exposure.
Baseus focuses on privacy by using local storage only, with no cloud services or monthly fees. The system supports expandable microSD storage up to 512GB and uses AES and RSA encryption for security.
The X1 Pro is built with an IP65 weatherproof rating and can withstand temperatures from -20℃ to 50℃. The design includes a three-axis mounting bracket for flexible installation. It connects via 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and is compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for voice control.
Through the Baseus Security app, users can stream live footage, review event replays, and receive motion notifications. The camera also supports two-way audio, allowing real-time communication through the device.
Pricing and Availability
The Security X1 Pro Outdoor Dual Camera officially launches today on Kickstarter. Early-bird backers can get one set with a 32GB microSD card for $149.99, down from the regular price of $279.99.
Bundle options are also available, including two sets for $289.98 (regularly $559.98) and four sets for $579.96 (regularly $1,119.96), offering savings of up to 48.22%.
