No Hasselblad? OnePlus 15 May Go All in With its New In-House Camera Tech

By

Sep 2, 2025

The upcoming OnePlus 15 marks a major shift in the company’s flagship smartphone strategy. For years, OnePlus partnered with Hasselblad for tuning the camera systems of its premium devices. However, this might not be the case with the next generation flagship.

OnePlus 15 Drops Hasselblad for In-House Camera Engine

To recall, the collaboration between OnePlus and Hasselblad brought a distinct look with improvements in color science and image processing. But a new report from SmartPrix claims that the OnePlus 15 will be the first to break away from this partnership. This move signals OnePlus’s confidence in developing proprietary imaging technology, aiming to deliver more consistent photography and videography while fully controlling the direction of its mobile cameras.

The in-house imaging engine would replace the Hasselblad tuning, similar to Huawei’s impressive XMAGE camera tech. Huawei previously worked with Leica (like Xiaomi now) before developing its own imaging engine. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen such news, with one of our previous reports also covering a leak from a Chinese tipster. Keep in mind that this is still just an unconfirmed report, so take this news with a pinch of salt.

Based on what we know so far, the OnePlus 15 may sport a 6.78-inch flat display with 1.5K resolution. It will use LIPO screen packaging technology, which enables ultra-thin bezels and better display integration compared to older methods like COG and COF. Under the hood, it is likely equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset. A massive 7,000mAh battery could power this flagship with 100W wired and 50W wireless charging support.

Vivo recently began the OriginOS 6 beta testing on the Vivo X200 Pro and iQOO 13 in China. The new Android skin is expected to bring significant upgrades over last year’s OriginOS 5. Scheduled to officially launch this month in China, OriginOS 6 will be available preinstalled on the upcoming Vivo X300 series. Today, Vivo Product Manager Han Boxiao released a Weibo post to give a sneak peek at the design elements of OriginOS 6.

OriginOS 6 first look

The update introduces the concept of “Light & Shadow Space,” focusing on enhanced light-shadow effects and a stronger sense of spatial order to create a more natural and comfortable user experience.

The system also debuts a redesigned control centre, customizable lock screen clocks, and new charging animations, with refinements across the interface aimed at greater visual harmony.

Boxiao confirmed that OriginOS 6 will make its first appearance on the upcoming Vivo X300 series, highlighting that the team has also worked on significant improvements in operational smoothness, heavy-load handling, and long-term fluidity. He added that Vivo’s goal with this release is to deliver the best-ever version of OriginOS, designed to meet user expectations.

Sep 2, 2025

Earlier this year, Realme showcased a GT-series concept phone powered by a 10,000mAh battery. Last week, the brand unveiled a concept phone featuring an even bigger 15,000mAh battery. Now, a Weibo post released by Realme Vice President and President for Global Marketing, Xu Chase, has revealed that the company will commercially release a 10,000mAh battery phone next year.

Realme’s 10,000 mAh battery phone launch is a few months away

Realme 10,000mAh battery phone coming soon

According to Realme’s Vice President Chase Xu the company is on track to bring a 10,000mAh phone to the market in early 2026. However, he did not reveal anything else about the device.

The new development follows Realme’s recent showcase of a 15,000mAh concept phone during its annual fan festival in China. That prototype featured a 100 percent silicon anode battery with a record energy density of 1200Wh/L, all packed into a design with less than 9mm thickness.

The 10,000mAh model is reportedly more refined, with thickness expected to stay under 8.5mm and a weight close to 210 grams. At present, there is no clarity about the phone’s final moniker.

While the brand is expected to announce the Realme GT 8 series of flagship phones in October in China, it is also said to be working on the Realme Neo 8 lineup. Recent reports have revealed that the Neo 8 could be equipped with an OLED LTPS 1.5K resolution screen, an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor, and an 8,000mAh battery. The device could be powered by the Dimensity 9500e and Snapdragon 8 Gen 5. For those who don’t know, these chipsets haven’t launched yet.

It remains to be seen whether Realme’s 10,000mAh battery phone launches as the Realme Neo 8 Pro or under a different name. This device is expected to rival the Honor Power 2, which is said to feature a 10,000mAh battery, a 6.79-inch display, and a Dimensity 8500 SoC.

The CPU and GPU details suggest that the device is powered by the Dimensity 9500. For those who are unaware, MediaTek is expected to announce this flagship chip on Sept. 22 in China. The Geekbench listing further reveals 16GB of RAM and Android 16, which may have the ColorOS 16 skin on top. Let’s ignore the benchmarking scores for now as they do not seem to be accurate.

The same device was also certified by the TUV Rheinland earlier this month. As can be seen, the listing suggests that the device may support 80W fast charging.

Oppo Find X9 specifications (rumored)

Reports suggest that the Find X9 may feature a 6.59-inch flat OLED LTPO display with 1.5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. Powering the device will likely be the Dimensity 9500 chipset, paired with up to 16GB LPDDR5x RAM and as much as 1TB UFS 4.0 storage. A large 7,025mAh battery with 80W wired and 50W wireless charging could back it.

For photography, it may include a 50-megapixel selfie sensor and a triple 50-megapixel setup on the rear: a Sony LYT-808 main lens with OIS, a Samsung JN5 ultra-wide, and a Samsung JN9 3x periscope telephoto. Other expected features are Android 16 with ColorOS, Hasselblad and Lumo imaging, ultrasonic fingerprint security, and an IP68/69-rated build.

The Oppo Find X9 series is tipped to launch in China by mid-October. Likely, it may hit the global market by November or December this year.

Alleged Vivo S50 Pro Mini in works with 6.3-inch display, Dimensity 9400 series chip, and more

Sep 2, 2025

Earlier this year, Vivo unveiled the Vivo S30 series, which included the Vivo S30 and S30 Pro Mini. The latter arrived as a photography-focused affordable flagship phone with a compact design. A new leak that has surfaced on Weibo has revealed the key specifications of what appears to be the Vivo S50 Pro Mini.

Alleged Vivo S50 Pro Mini specifications tipped

Alleged Vivo S50 Pro Mini leak by Smart Pikachu

The hashtag used by tipster Smart Pikachu in the above post suggests that the next S-series Vivo phone will be dubbed the Vivo S50 instead of Vivo S40, the most likely reason being that the number ‘4’ is considered a bad omen in some Asian markets, including China.

The leak reveals that an upcoming S50-series phone will feature a 6.3-inch flat display with a new aspect ratio, a Dimensity 9400 series chipset, and a triple camera unit featuring a periscope telephoto camera. The engineering prototype is said to include an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor.

The tipster has not specified the final moniker of the device. However, considering the display size, it appears to be a successor to the Vivo S30 Pro Mini. However, it remains to be seen whether it will be dubbed the Vivo S50 Pro Mini or just Vivo S50.

The reason behind this is that last year Vivo unveiled the Vivo X200 Pro Mini with a compact design featuring a 6.3-inch screen. Reports suggest that this year, there will not be a Vivo X300 Pro Mini; instead, the Vivo X300 featuring a 6.3-inch screen will succeed the X200 Pro Mini. Therefore, it is unclear whether the upcoming S50 series will have a “Pro Mini” branding.

As far as the launch is concerned, the Vivo S50 is expected to launch in November this year in China. This means the series will face competition from the likes of the Oppo Reno 15 series and the Honor 500 series, which are expected to break cover around the same time in China.

The Vivo S30 Pro Mini was rebranded as the Vivo X200 FE in markets outside of China. Therefore, it remains to be seen whether the alleged S50 Pro Mini gets rebadged as the Vivo X300 FE globally.

Sep 2, 2025

While Vivo is confirming the key details about the Vivo X300 series ahead of its October launch, the rumor mill is also working hard to share new information about it. In a recent Weibo post, well-known tipster Digital Chat Station revealed early design details of Vivo’s upcoming X300 series. The source indicates that the new range will bring noticeable design changes, a refreshed display approach, and upgraded imaging hardware. Here’s a look at what the tipster said.

Vivo X300 series design leak

According to DCS, the Vivo X300 series will adopt a large circular rear camera module with a smaller decorative ring compared to its predecessor, giving it a cleaner look. Both the Vivo X300 and X300 Pro models are expected to feature flat displays with large-radius corners. The bezels are said to be narrower than those on the iPhone 16 Pro Max. The source also mentioned that the devices will run on a redesigned interface described as having an “Apple-like” feel.

Vivo X300 series key specifications (rumored)

The Vivo X300 and X300 Pro are expected to debut as the world’s first phones with the Dimensity 9500 chipset. The standard X300 could feature a 6.3-inch 1.5K display, a 200-megapixel Samsung HPB main sensor (1/1.4-inch), a 50-megapixel ultrawide lens, and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom.

The X300 Pro may carry a 6.8-inch 1.5K display, a Sony LYT-828 primary camera, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 200-megapixel Samsung HPB periscope telephoto lens with a prism-based structure.

Reports suggest the lineup will consist of the X300, X300 Pro, and X300 Ultra, with the first two arriving in October and the Ultra launching next year.

Vivo executive talks about four strengths of X300 Pro’s 200MP telephoto system

By

Rajesh Regmi

-

Sep 2, 2025

Vivo’s executive on Weibo has confirmed that the upcoming X300 Pro will feature a 200MP Samsung HPB sensor for its telephoto duties. Product manager Han Boxiao revealed today that the lens will have Zeiss T* coating, fluorite glass elements, and APO certification to cut down on chromatic aberration.

The sensor itself is 1/1.4-inch in size and provides an equivalent 85mm focal length, which makes it ideal for portraits and long-range detail shots.

Vivo X300 Pro’s telephoto excels in four areas

Han noted that while the X300 Pro might not rival Vivo’s current top crop X200 Ultra in every aspect, it excels in four major areas: stability, speed, clarity, and transparency. The telephoto lens reportedly supports CIPA 5.5-level stabilization, the highest rating in the industry at present.

The phone also has a unique focus tracking engine, co-developed with partners, that promises to make long-distance motion capture faster and more reliable.

Meanwhile, Vivo’s in-house “Blueprint” algorithm works alongside the new hardware to produce sharper telephoto images without relying heavily on AI tricks. And with the Zeiss coating and advanced optics, the company claims you’ll get cleaner, purer images with less distortion and better color accuracy.

Beyond the telephoto hype, the X300 Pro is expected to be powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500 chipset. The main shooter, the Sony LYT828, is a 50-megapixel sensor with a 1/1.3-inch size and strong HDR performance.

Vivo is also introducing its VS1 pre-processing chip alongside the V3+ dual-core imaging system on the X300 series.

Looking ahead, Vivo says it wants to integrate AI in more creative ways. At its Vision Conference, the company teased that the X300 series will eventually support AIGC-powered landscape creation and personalized beauty modes.

The X300 series is tipped to launch in October after MediaTek announces the Dimensity 9500.

[Update] Oppo Find X9 render emerges to reveal design around one month before launch

Sep 2, 2025

Update: DCS has removed the Oppo Find X9 render, citing slight discrepancies in the camera lens arrangement in the image.

Original story continues…

Tipster Digital Chat Station has shared what is claimed to be the latest render of the Oppo Find X9. While the image itself offers only a glimpse, the insider has provided key details about the upcoming smartphone’s design changes. According to him, Oppo is making significant refinements to the camera housing and overall feel of the device.

Oppo Find X9 render

As per the leak, Oppo is moving away from the large circular camera module seen in previous generations, like the Find X8 and Find X7 series. The Find X9’s render reveals a rectangular camera housing placed at the top left corner, which is expected to make the phone appear more balanced and elegant.

The new arrangement also gives the device a smoother in-hand feel and improved texture. Despite its smaller footprint, Oppo has reportedly managed to stack higher-grade camera specifications into this module, making it a step ahead of its predecessor.

Another notable detail is that the handset could include the same full-colour lens found on the Ultra variant. Alongside these changes, the Find X9 might also come in a titanium color option, which was highly requested last year. DCS hinted that this design version is finalized for the series, including both standard and higher-end editions.

Oppo Find X9 specifications (rumored)

As per reports, the Oppo Find X9 will feature a 6.59-inch flat OLED LTPO panel that supports a 1.5K reoslution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, it will feature the Dimensity 9500 chipset, up to 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM, up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage, and a 7,025mAh battery with 80W wired and 50W wireless charging.

The Find X9 will feature a 50-megapixel front camera, and its rear camera setup will include an OIS-assisted 50-megapixel Sony LYT-808 main camera, a 50-megapixel Samsung JN5 ultra-wide lens, and an OIS-enabled 50-megapixel Samsung JN9 3x periscope camera.

Apple’s discontinued MagSafe Battery Pack works with Google Pixel 10 Pro XL

Sep 2, 2025

In a surprising twist, Apple’s retired MagSafe Battery Pack has found a second life — this time with an Android phone. A recent post on X revealed that the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL can snap onto and charge with Apple’s accessory, despite it being discontinued years ago.

An unexpected compatibility

Apple first launched the MagSafe Battery Pack alongside the iPhone 12, using its magnetic wireless charging system. The accessory was quietly discontinued in 2023 with no replacement, and many assumed it was gone for good. But X user Paul J shared that it works with the Pixel 10 Pro XL, Google’s 2025 flagship, thanks to the phone’s new “Pixelsnap” system.

Pixelsnap is Google’s implementation of the Qi2 wireless charging standard, which uses magnetic alignment similar to Apple’s MagSafe. That shared standard is what lets the Pixel 10 Pro XL connect seamlessly with Apple’s old battery pack.

The MagSafe pack doesn’t hit the Pixel’s maximum Qi2.2 charging speed of 25W — but it still works reliably. Since Apple contributed its MagSafe expertise to Qi2, the compatibility isn’t entirely accidental.

For the owners of the Pixel 10 and that MagSafe Battery Pack, this means an elegant, compact backup charger that might otherwise have ended up in a drawer. It also shows how cross-brand standards can reduce electronic waste and make accessories more versatile.

Apple is rumored to be working on a new MagSafe charger for the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air. In the meantime, the Pixel 10 Pro XL’s ability to repurpose an old Apple accessory highlights the upside of universal charging standards. For once, Android and iPhone users can share the same tech — and both benefit.

Finnish smartphone maker HMD Global is working on a new Pulse series smartphone called the Pulse 2 Pro. Its specs have just been revealed by an often reliable leaker, HMD_MEME’S, who frequently shares details about HMD devices.

Under the hood, HMD is moving from the Unisoc T606 to the Unisoc T7250. Despite the name change, the new chipset does not bring a major leap in raw power.

It comes with two Cortex-A75 cores clocked up to 1.8GHz and six power-efficient Cortex-A55 cores at up to 1.6GHz. The device will be offered in 6/128GB, 8/128GB, and 8/256GB flavors.

HMD is keeping things simple with the cameras. The phone has a 50MP main shooter with OIS, paired with a 2MP sensor, along with a 50MP front camera. The setup is similar to the Pulse Pro, except that the main camera now has OIS (optical image stabilization).

Other features of the Pulse 2 Pro may include Android 15 out of the box, three years of software updates, and a generous five-year warranty on parts and repairs. The phone retains a 5,000mAh battery with 20W charging, plus extras like IP54 splash resistance, NFC, and wireless connectivity via Wi-Fi.

Compared to the original Pulse Pro, the Pulse 2 Pro offers a higher-resolution screen, an OIS-enabled camera, a refreshed chipset, and most importantly, a redesigned look. You can check out the new design below.

Pixel 10 Pro XL passes durability test: “no creeks, no groans, and no cracks”

The Google Pixel 10 Pro XL has gone through YouTuber JerryRigEverything’s durability test, and the results show a device built to last. Alongside the usual scratch, burn, and bend trials, the test also revealed a new magnetic charging system that is one of the Pixel’s biggest hardware shifts yet.

The Pixel 10 Pro XL’s 6.8-inch AMOLED display, shielded by Gorilla Glass Victus 2, handled scratches and even the flame test without permanent damage. Its aluminum frame and buttons also held up well, and during the bend test, the phone showed no flex or weak points. Combined with Google’s promise of seven years of software updates, the solid build reinforces the Pixel 10 Pro XL as a long-term option for buyers.

Pixelsnap: magnetic wireless charging

What stood out in the video, however, wasn’t just durability. Zack Nelson pointed to internal changes hinting at “Pixelsnap,” a MagSafe-style magnetic charging system. Using magnetic field viewing film, a circular array of magnets can be seen inside the back panel, designed to align the phone with Qi2 wireless chargers and compatible accessories.

While the HMD Skyline technically introduced Qi2 support first, the Pixel 10 Pro XL becomes the first mainstream Android flagship to bring full compatibility, putting it on equal footing with Apple’s iPhone lineup. For those wondering, Samsung’s upcoming Ultra flagship is rumored to adopt built-in magnets as well — a more surprising move given that magnetic cases have historically interfered with the S Pen.

Nelson also hinted at further changes around the battery, which he plans to detail in an upcoming teardown. For now, the mix of strong durability and the debut of Pixelsnap makes the Pixel 10 Pro XL one of Google’s most forward-looking flagships yet — despite being largely similar to its predecessor.

Sep 2, 2025

Vivo has officially launched the Y500 smartphone in China. It features the largest battery ever on a Vivo phone, yet keep things slim and ergonomic.

The Vivo Y500 carries an 8,200mAh “Blue Ocean” battery, which Vivo says can last up to six years thanks to its semi–solid-state tech. The company also claims it can handle extreme conditions — up to 22 hours outdoors at 40°C and 16.7 hours of video playback at -20°C. The phone supports 90W fast charging.

Despite its large battery, the Y500 is relatively slim at 8.23mm thick and 213g. The phone is rated IP68 and IP69, meaning it can survive water immersion and high-pressure sprays. It has also passed a 1.5-meter, 24-hour immersion test and carries a five-star drop-resistance certification.

Vivo further says the frame is built with its new “Diamond Rock” architecture, which is tougher than its predecessor and offers up to 100 percent better compression resistance and 70 percent better drop resistance.

On the front, the Y500 features a 6.77-inch flat AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 3840Hz PWM dimming. Inside, it’s powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset, paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.

The phone has a modest dual-camera setup on the back, headlined by a 50MP main lens and a 2MP depth sensor. On the front, there’s an 8MP selfie camera. The lenses are reinforced with aircraft-grade aluminum and a raised outer ring for protection.

Other features include dual speakers tuned by Vivo’s Golden Ear Acoustic Lab, AI-powered network switching, a 360° antenna design, and full-function NFC. The phone ships with Android 15 and OriginOS 5 out of the box.

Redmi K90 Pro specs tipped: 7000mAh bigger, periscope, and better image processing

Sep 2, 2025

Xiaomi is lining up the Redmi K90 series for release in China before the year ends, with the global rollout expected soon after under the Poco F8 branding. The top-end model, the Redmi K90 Pro, is set to reappear as the Poco F8 Ultra and early leaks suggest some serious upgrades over last year’s K80 Pro.

Chipset, battery, and camera upgrades tipped

The phone is rumored to be powered by Qualcomm’s next flagship processor, the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2. If accurate, that would bring a clear step up in performance and efficiency, especially for gaming and multitasking.

Battery life is also getting a major boost. Xiaomi is said to be moving from the 6,000 mAh unit on the K80 Pro to a 7,000 mAh cell. Unfortunately, wired charging looks like a slight downgrade, dropping to 100W from 120W on the predecessor. Wireless charging (likely 50W) and the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor are expected to remain in place.

For photography, the K90 Pro is rumored to include a periscope zoom lens — a first for the Redmi lineup. This would bring advanced zoom capabilities usually reserved for Xiaomi’s premium flagships. The tipster also points to improved image processing, which could boost results across all cameras, including the selfie. On the multimedia side, audio hardware is tipped for an upgrade as well. The phone will continue to feature a 2K OLED display, similar to the K80 Pro.

More information, including the exact launch dates of the Redmi K90 Pro and its Poco rebrand, will likely surface as the development progresses, so stick around.

Sep 1, 2025

Dyson has launched its new Pencil Vacuum Cleaner in China, following its recent global debut. It features a slim 38mm cylindrical body and houses Dyson’s smallest and fastest vacuum motor to date. The device is priced at 3999 yuan ($560) and is now available for pre-order on JD.com. It will go on open sale starting September 8 at 10:00 AM.

Dyson Pencil Vacuum Specifications

The Dyson Pencil Vacuum uses a compact motor capable of spinning at up to 140,000 revolutions per minute. The main unit weighs only 0.92 kilograms and has dimensions of 1160 × 226 × 78 mm, making it roughly the size of a 13-inch laptop in weight. Dyson says the vacuum is designed for precision cleaning across tight spaces and around furniture.

The vacuum provides a maximum suction power of 55AW in Boost mode and offers up to 30 minutes of runtime in Eco mode. It requires 3.5 hours for a full charge. The dustbin has a capacity of 0.08 liters and uses an air-compression chamber with a piston-style ejection mechanism that pushes debris directly into the trash.

Dyson has included a dual-layer sealed filtration system that captures up to 99.99% of particles as small as 0.3 microns. The vacuum also uses a straight-line dust separation design to improve airflow efficiency and reduce clogging.

The Pencil Vacuum introduces a new Fluffycones multi-cone roller head, which features four tapered brushes and two sets of dual-drive motors. Dyson has designed this head to resist hair tangling by guiding strands away from the rollers. Nylon fibers on the cones further help prevent long hair from wrapping around the brush.

The vacuum supports 360-degree omnidirectional movement and allows edge-to-edge cleaning with zero-millimeter clearance. It comes with one main cleaning head and two additional attachments for detailed cleaning. Dyson includes a magnetic wall-mounted dock for charging and storage.

The unit includes an LCD screen that shows the current cleaning mode, remaining battery life, and any filter alerts. It allows users to switch between Eco, Medium, and Boost modes using a single button. It also supports connectivity with the MyDyson app, providing maintenance notifications and performance insights.

In related news, Dyson has launched the V8 Cyclone flagship vacuum cleaner with 150AW suction power and a swappable battery. The company also introduced the Dyson Cool CF1, marking the return of its fanless table fan design.
