Oppo quietly launches A6 Max in China with a massive 7000mAh battery and IP69 durability

Oppo has quietly launched a new mid-range phone in China, the Oppo A6 Max. The phone is built around a slim 7.7mm body yet packs a massive 7,000mAh battery.

It supports 80W charging, which Oppo says can bring the phone to 50 percent in just 24 minutes. Despite the large battery, it weighs only 198 grams.

Oppo A6 Max Specifications

Up front, the A6 Max features a 6.8-inch OLED display with a 2800 × 1280 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The screen can reach up to 1,600 nits of peak brightness and even supports input when your hands are wet. Oppo also protects the display with its in-house Crystal Shield Glass for extra durability.

The device camera setup includes a 32MP selfie shooter and a dual-camera system on the back, headlined by a 50MP main sensor alongside a basic 2MP monochrome camera. The phone comes in two finishes: Streamer White with a glass back and Rock Mist Blue with a fiberglass back.

Under the hood, the A6 Max runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip, paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. To keep performance steady, Oppo has added a 5,200mm² vapor chamber for cooling. 

The phone also features Oppo’s Shanhai Communication enhanced chip for more reliable connectivity, plus dual-band GPS, triple-band Beidou, NFC, and offline communication support.

What really makes the phone stand out is its durability. The A6 Max is rated IP66, IP68, and IP69 for dust and water resistance, meaning it can withstand high-pressure water jets and extreme outdoor conditions.

Oppo says the phone also passed SGS certification for high-temperature operation, and it comes with extra-loud speakers (up to a 300 percent boost) designed for outdoor use.

Price and Availability

The Oppo A6 Max (8GB + 256GB) is available now in China for 1,599 yuan (around $220). Oppo hasn’t confirmed whether the phone will launch internationally.

Realme steps back from foldables, focuses on mainstream phones and accessories

Realme is shifting its strategy as it marks seven years in the smartphone market. At its 7th Anniversary “828 Real Fan Festival” on August 28, the company said it has no plans to enter the foldable phone space for now, choosing instead to expand its ecosystem of accessories and push ahead with new flagship models.

Oppo Find N5

Speaking with Securities Times (via IT Home), Realme CEO Xu Qi confirmed that foldables are not part of the company’s roadmap, citing high costs and limited mainstream appeal. Instead, Realme is investing in accessories such as power banks and headphones.

One highlight from the event was a 20,000mAh power bank, due in September, with 45W fast charging and three color options. The brand also showed off a concept phone with a massive 15,000mAh battery, signaling a stronger push into power-focused solutions.

Realme also teased its next flagship lineup, the Realme 15 series, which will debut in September alongside the new power bank. Instead of experimenting with foldable hinges, Realme is focusing on improving the traditional smartphone form factor.

By skipping foldables, Realme is doubling down on mid-range phones and practical accessories. The 20,000mAh power bank is aimed at users who want reliable power on the go. The strategy puts Realme in closer competition with Xiaomi, which also emphasizes power banks and ecosystem products.

With September launches coming up, Realme is counting on practical design and ecosystem products to win over value-focused buyers while keeping its flagships competitive.

The Realme 15 and 15 Pro were introduced in India last month, now available through retailers like Flipkart and Amazon, starting at ₹25,999 and ₹31,999, respectively. Realme is also preparing to launch the 15T in the country next week.

World’s slimmest phone with curved display is launching on September 4th

Slim phones are finding their way back into the smartphone timeline. Samsung kicked things off with the Galaxy S25 Edge last year, Apple is preparing to launch the iPhone 17 Air next week, and now Tecno is stepping in with a contender of its own.

The company has confirmed it will launch the Pova Slim 5G on September 4th. Tecno is calling it the world’s slimmest smartphone with a curved display. 

The exact dimensions aren’t official yet, but earlier this year at MWC, the company showed off a concept device called the Spark Slim that measures just 5.75mm thick. The Pova Slim looks strikingly similar to that prototype, so it could be that Tecno is turning its concept into a mass-market product under a different name.

Even so, it might not take the crown for long. The iPhone 17 Air is rumored to be even thinner, reportedly coming in at just 5.5mm.

What do we know about Tecno Pova Slim?

Not the thickness, but Tecno has shared a few other details about the Pova Slim. It will support AI tools like Circle to Search and the company’s own Ella AI assistant, which can handle Indian languages. 

Tecno Spark Slim concept phone

Incredibly, Tecno also claims that the phone can make calls without a cellular network. Though the catch is that it relies on Bluetooth to connect directly with another device, which only works if it’s within range.

For everything else, you still get proper 5G connectivity with carrier aggregation. Tecno is also adding some flair to the hardware with a “dynamic mood light” design, which is LEDs around the rear cameras that can glow when you want them to.

And despite its thin frame, the Pova Slim 5G is expected to pack a sizable 5,000mAh battery, according to earlier reports.

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 will run at 4.74GHz on Galaxy S26, tops 4M AnTuTu score

Qualcomm only just kicked off its new naming strategy with the Snapdragon 8 Elite late last year, but it won’t be sticking with that name for long. Instead of a straightforward follow-up like the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, a recent report suggests the next flagship chip will be called the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.

Now, a new leak from tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed more details about the chipset. According to the leak, the chip will feature two prime cores clocked at 4.61GHz, alongside six performance cores running at 3.63GHz. On the graphics side, it will pack an Adreno 840 GPU running at 1.2GHz.

This much had already been rumored, including through the chip’s Geekbench run. But the new detail is that Samsung is preparing a higher-binned 4.74GHz version of the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for its upcoming flagships, the Galaxy S26s.

First phones with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5

The first wave of phones to use this chip is expected from Xiaomi, Honor, iQOO, OnePlus, and Realme, all of which will initially run at the native 4.61GHz frequency. These brands are expected to adopt the faster variant of the chip later next year.

Moreover, the tipster claims the silicon scores over 4 million points on the AnTuTu benchmark. The scores are likely from AnTuTu v11, as the Dimensity 9500 also posts similar results on the same version.

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 specs leak

Qualcomm is set to launch the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 during the Snapdragon Summit starting on September 23. MediaTek will unveil its alternative just a day earlier, on September 22.

In other news, Apple is launching the iPhone 17 series on September 9, where it will also debut the new A19 Pro chip. These are just a few of the major launches coming in September—it’s going to be a packed month.

Huawei overtakes Apple for the first time in global smartwatch market

Huawei has moved past Apple in global smartwatch shipments for the first time, according to new numbers from Counterpoint Research. The shift highlights both the strength of the Chinese market and the pressure facing Apple in wearables.

Huawei

Counterpoint’s Q2 2025 report shows global smartwatch shipments rose 8% year-on-year, breaking a five-quarter decline. Huawei shipments jumped 52% in the quarter, driven largely by strong demand in China. The company has built momentum with a broad range of watches priced between $100 and $400, along with tighter integration across its smartphone and IoT ecosystem. Over 75% of its shipments came from China, though expansion into EMEA and Asia-Pacific also contributed.

“Domestic traction, portfolio diversity, and ecosystem strength have been the key drivers for Huawei,” analyst Anshika Jain said in the report.

Apple shipments fell 3% in Q2, marking the seventh straight quarter of decline. Despite that, Apple continues to lead the premium end of the market with impressively accurate health tracking a loyal iOS user base.

Other players also saw movement. Xiaomi shipments rose 38% thanks to budget-friendly models, while Kids’s Smartwatch maker imoo grew 21% and kept its lead in the the segment. Just like Apple. Samsung also slipped 3% as its Galaxy Watch 7 failed to match growth seen elsewhere.

Counterpoint expects overall smartwatch shipments to climb around 3% in 2025, with China’s appetite for multifunction devices — combining health, payments, and navigation — a major driver.

The figures show how quickly competition is shifting. Huawei and other Chinese brands are gaining ground by offering wider choice and ecosystem tie-ins, while Apple faces a more crowded market than ever.

Samsung’s 2nm Exynos 2600 posts flagship-level scores in new Geekbench test

Samsung’s upcoming Exynos 2600 chip has reappeared on Geekbench, and this time the results look far more promising than before.

The chip appeared in the benchmark back in July with not-so-impressive scores. It only managed a single-core score of 2,155 and a multi-core score of 7,788. 

But a fresh round of testing shows that Samsung’s tuning has paid off. The new results push the chip to a single-core score of 3,309 and a multi-core score of 11,256. The scores put it ahead of the Snapdragon 8 Elite, but the 8 Elite 2 still performs slightly better in its early benchmark. 

The improvements are mainly because of the increased CPU speed. The main Cortex-X930 core now runs at 3.8GHz (up from 3.55GHz), while the three Cortex-A730 performance cores jump to 3.26GHz (previously 2.96GHz). The other six Cortex-A730s for efficiency see a bump as well, hitting 2.76GHz compared to 2.46GHz before.

Exynos 2600 is the first 2nm chip

The chip is confirmed to be manufactured on Samsung Foundry’s 2nm GAA process, which will improve power efficiency, thermal management, and AI performance.

Moreover, to prevent overheating, the chip is speculated to feature the new Heat Path Block (HPB) technology. The process comprises a micro copper-based heatsink integrated directly above the processor and memory within the chip’s package-on-package structure to keep the temperature in check. 

The Exynos 2600 is expected to launch with the Galaxy S26 Pro and S26 Edge in early 2026, while the S26 Ultra may continue with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite 2. 

Apart from smartphones, Samsung has signed a $16.5 billion deal with Tesla for 2nm chips, suggesting broader adoption of its advanced nodes.

Oppo Find X9 and X9 Pro color and storage variants leak ahead of launch

Oppo’s next flagship phones, the Find X9 and Find X9 Pro, have had their storage and color options revealed in a new leak from well-known tipster Digital Chat Station.

According to the insider, the regular Oppo Find X9 will come in five configurations: 12GB RAM with 256GB or 512GB of storage, and 16GB RAM with 256GB, 512GB, or even 1TB of storage.

It will be available in Frost White, Mist Black, Light Chasing Red, and Velvet Titanium shades. The phone is expected to weigh around 203 grams, which should keep it relatively comfortable in hand for a big-screen flagship.

The Oppo Find X9 Pro, however, is where things get more ambitious. It’s tipped to arrive in 12GB+256GB, 12GB+512GB, 16GB+512GB, and 16GB+1TB versions. There will also be a special “Beidou Satellite SMS Edition” for the highest-end 16GB+1TB model.

The Pro is slightly more limited in terms of color options. It could come in Frost White, Chasing Light Red, and Velvet Titanium, with the device weighing about 224 grams.

Oppo Find X9, X9 Pro Specs (Expected)

As for specs, the Pro model could debut with a huge 7,000mAh+ battery that supports full wireless charging. It is said to feature a 200-megapixel periscope camera, telephoto macro lens, multispectral lens, IP68/IP69 dust and water resistance, an upgraded 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, and customizable side buttons. Oppo may also include its new LIPO four-sided flat display paired with a unique small matrix camera design.

The Find X9 is rumored to come with a 6.59-inch flat OLED LTPO screen with a 1.5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. Both phones are expected to use the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset, while the Find X9 may feature a 7,025mAh battery with support for 80W wired and 50W wireless charging.

Other specs reportedly include a 50MP quad-camera setup on the rear, an IP68/IP69 rating, and dual stereo speakers.

Galaxy S26 Pro, Edge, and Ultra thickness revealed: all slimmer than their predecessors

Samsung’s next flagship lineup could be the thinnest Galaxy phones yet, if new leaks are anything to go by. The Galaxy S26 series — expected to arrive in early 2026 — is said to be pushing slimmer designs across all models without cutting down on battery life or durability.

Samsung-Galaxy-S25

According to a report, the Galaxy S26 Pro, S26 Edge, and S26 Ultra are all getting noticeable reductions in thickness compared to this year’s S25 models. The S26 Pro, which replaces the base model, reportedly comes in at just 6.7mm thick (down from 7.2mm). The S26 Edge could slim down even further to 5.5mm, compared to the S25 Edge’s 5.8mm. Despite that, it’s said to pack a larger 4,200mAh battery — a bump from 3,900mAh.

The S26 Ultra, meanwhile, is tipped to measure 7.8mm, compared to 8.2mm on the S25 Ultra. That reduction is more modest, as the Ultra still houses the S Pen, which limits how thin the design can get unless Samsung rethinks the stylus entirely.

These figures are based on internal prototypes, so the final numbers could shift slightly before launch. Still, Samsung seems to be positioning the lineup against rivals like Apple’s rumored iPhone 17 Air, which may come in at just 5.5mm.

Alongside slimmer builds, Samsung is keeping headline specs like a 200MP camera and upgraded charging on the Ultra. The Galaxy S26 family is slated for a January 2026 launch, with prices expected to mirror this year’s lineup — $799 for the Pro, $1,099 for the Edge, and $1,299 for the Ultra. Still, a bump wouldn’t be out of the question, given Samsung’s history, the new ‘Pro’ branding, and the rumored redesign.

Unique Lenovo Laptop with Rotating Display Tipped for IFA Showcase

Lenovo could be pushing the boundaries of laptop design soon, with leaks revealing a bold new concept called Project Pivo. If you remember the LG Wing smartphone that featured a rotating screen, Project Pivo takes things a step further with a laptop with a rotating display.

Lenovo’s Rotating Screen Concept Laptop Leaked Ahead of IFA 2025

The leak was shared by Evan Blass, who shared some details and a render on X (formerly Twitter). A new concept laptop from Lenovo is in the works, with the tipster claiming that the laptop could debut during next week’s IFA/Innovation Week. The rotating display is the highlight, offering users to switch between portrait and landscape orientations.

This is reportedly being called Project Pivo, with the render image showcasing the laptop with its display flipped 90 degrees for portrait use. Lenovo likely connects the base of the laptop to the screen via magnets, with power and data likely going through contacts on the back of the display. Allowing for different orientations helps in making vertical media content easier to consume (think social media), with another benefit coming from reading documents.

The Chinese tech giant’s Project Pivo joins the likes of other unique Lenovo branded laptops like the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable, which has an OLED screen that extends out for a taller display, and the foldable OLED display on the ThinkPad X1 Fold. So stick around for more as we will be covering this upcoming event.

OnePlus 15 Leak Reveals Striking New Colors and Storage Options

The upcoming OnePlus 15’s color and storage details have surfaced online, revealing more details before its official launch. According to recent leaks, the flagship will be available in three new colors and five storage configurations. So let’s check it out.

OnePlus 15 Leaked Ahead of Launch

The Chinese brand’s new flagship just surfaced on GeekBench, a popular benchmarking platform. Now, we get more details regarding the OnePlus 15 via known tipster Digital Chat Station (Via NotebookCheck). The OmePlus 15 will reportedly arrive in multiple storage options, which include 12GB + 256GB, 12GB + 512GB, 16GB + 256GB, 16GB + 512GB, and 16GB + 1TB variants. But what’s more interesting was the color reveal. We might be getting three color options with a Black, a new purple, and a possibly shiny titanium version. Notably, the black color could be the “Moon Rock Black”, which has an extremely high light absorption rate.

OnePlus 13s alternatives
OnePlus 13s

DCS further revealed the weight of the OnePlus 15, which is reportedly around 215 grams. This isn’t too surprising considering how the OnePlus 13 was also quite hefty. The next gen flagship likely retains the tall display but with a larger battery pack. Based on our recent reports, the OnePlus 15 sports a tall 6.78-inch display with a 165Hz refresh rate, but downgraded to 1.5K resolution. We can expect it to pack the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 and a massive 7,000mAh battery pack with 100W wired fast charging support.

For photography, the device may feature a 50-megapixel main camera with OIS support, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 50-megapixel 3x periscope telephoto camera. Although, the rear camera module might be changed from a circular module to a square one.

Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 Powered OnePlus 15 Spotted on GeekBench

The next OnePlus flagship is taking shape, and an early benchmark sighting has revealed some cutting edge hardware. OnePlus 15 just surfaced on the GeekBench database carrying Qualcomm’s next high end chipset, the new Android iteration, and more.

Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 Confirmed in OnePlus 15?

OnePlus 15

Looking at the GeekBench listing, the OnePlus 15 can be seen carrying the OnePlus PLK110 model number. It was spotted running on the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, which will power the upcoming generation of flagship Android devices. We’ve already seen this chip achieve impressive performance in this benchmark on other smartphones, like the Red Magic 11 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. Single test scores typically crossed the 3,000 points mark, while the multi core test was over 10,000 points.

However, the OnePlus 15 was seen as having a disappointing score of just 631 points and 1,871 points, respectively. This could be because the chip is running at a slow 750MHz frequency, instead of its peak clock speed of 4,610MHz. The company could be testing the device in low power mode (Via NotebookCheck). Apart from the chip, the GeekBench listing also confirmed the Adreno 840 GPU along with 16GB of RAM.

OnePlus 15 (Rumored)

OnePlus’ next top model will also run on the latest Android 16 OS out of the box. In related news, the OnePlus 15 may sport a tall display with a 165Hz refresh rate. While this is an upgrade in terms of refresh rate, the brand might be downgrading the 2K+ resolution on its predecessor to just a 1.5K resolution panel.
