Oppo has added a new contender to the budget 5G smartphone market with the launch of the Oppo K13x 5G. Priced from Rs 11,999, this device appears geared toward users who want long battery life, practical design, and dependable day-to-day performance without breaking the bank. I spent some early time with the phone, and here’s what we’ve observed so far.
4Final thoughts
Oppo K13 5G with case
The Oppo K13x 5G manages to strike a careful balance between practical features and value. While the display resolution could have been higher, the presence of a high refresh rate and a responsive interface offset that limitation. Performance is consistent, the UI is clean and fluid, and the battery life is easily among the best in the segment.
With a competitive starting price of Rs 11,999 for the 4GB+128GB variant, this phone ticks the right boxes for users who want reliable connectivity, durable design, and battery longevity. However, I feel that the 4G RAM variant may result in lagging in the long run, ideally, I would suggest opting for 6GB or 8GB RAM variants with 128GB storage priced at Rs 12,999 and Rs 14,999, respectively. If you’re after a no-frills 5G smartphone that does the basics right and holds up through the day — and beyond — the Oppo K13x 5G is an option worth looking at.
Arriving after a three-year gap, the new model brings some upgrades, though nothing extraordinary. However, it costs less at launch than its predecessor—a rarity in the consumer electronics market.
OnePlus sent me a unit for review, and after using the earphones for the past few days, I am ready to share my thoughts on them.
Before I begin, I want to let readers know that OnePlus had no editorial input or early access to this article. The opinions expressed here are mine alone.
The best thing about the OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z3 is its design. Weighing just 26g, the earphones are so lightweight you barely feel them around your neck. This makes them ideal not only as a fashion accessory but also for professionals like delivery workers who need to make frequent calls throughout the day.
The earphones come in two colors: Mambo Midnight and Samba Sunset. I have the former, which is perfect for those who prefer subtlety. I would personally go with the latter and recommend it if you like your gadgets to be a headturner.
The left side of the neckband houses three buttons, an LED indicator, the microphone, and the USB Type-C charging port. The right side features only the ‘ONEPLUS’ branding and logo.
The product’s body is made entirely of lightweight yet sturdy plastic. The rubberized part that goes around the neck feels comfortable, causing no skin irritation. It also has an IP55 rating for water and sweat resistance.

2. New Features, Familiar Omissions
The OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z3 features Bluetooth 5.4, a significant leap from the Bluetooth 5.0 found on the previous model. This upgrade enables better power efficiency. As a result, despite having the same 220mAh battery, the brand claims 36 hours of music playback at 50% volume, compared to 30 hours on the predecessor.
The earphones now support Google Fast Pair for seamless pairing with Android devices. They also come with a 3D Spatial Audio feature; however, support for this is not yet widespread across most content.
As for the buttons, they can be used for controlling volume, managing music playback, accepting or declining calls, initiating pairing, and activating AI assistants. Just like previous models, the buds offer the convenient magnetic power on/off feature.
Unfortunately, the earphones still lack multipoint connectivity (dual-device connection). This means you have to disconnect from one device before connecting to another.
Also, the magnetic power-off feature is slow, taking more than two seconds to activate. In contrast, the buds turn on instantly when the magnets are separated.
There’s no ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) either. However, they do include ENC (Electronic Noise Cancellation) for calls, which performs decently.
3. A Sound Profile for the Masses
The OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z3 features the same 12.4mm drivers as its predecessor. It comes with four EQ settings: Balanced (the default), Serenade, Bass, and Bold. There is also an option called BassWave to dynamically boost or lower bass.
Contrary to its name, the default “Balanced” EQ setting is not balanced at all. It provides a bass-heavy output that overpowers the mids, although this is a sound signature most mainstream consumers might prefer.
Thankfully, you can achieve slightly better audio quality by switching to the “Serenade” preset. To do this on smartphones not made by OnePlus or its sister companies, you will need to install the HeyMelody app. For custom EQ settings, you will have to rely on third-party apps.
Additionally, it’s worth noting that while the sound output can be very loud. At the same time, it can be too low for comfortable late-night music sessions. Overall, the audio quality is decent, as it is clearly targeted at the mass market.
4. The Bottom Line
The OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z3 is a product of clear compromises. It absolutely excels in design, comfort, and battery life, making it one of the most comfortable neckbands available for all-day use. The lower launch price is a significant and welcome bonus.
However, these strengths are balanced by notable omissions like multipoint connectivity and ANC, and an audio quality that is decidedly average and tuned for the mass market.
So, should you buy it? If your top priorities are a lightweight, “wear-and-forget” design and a battery that lasts for days, the Z3 is an excellent choice for its price. But if you’re an audiophile or a power user who needs to switch between multiple devices seamlessly, you should look elsewhere. Ultimately, OnePlus has delivered on a specific goal: a comfortable, long-lasting neckband that nails the basics for its target audience.

Nothing has released a lot of earbuds so far. It all started with Ear 1, followed by Ear Stick, Ear 2, and then just Ear, no number. And more recently, we got the Ear (a) and Ear Open. All of these have Nothing’s signature transparent asthetics paired with a unique design that gives them a character of their own.
But even with that crowded lineup of earbuds, there’s been a pretty big gap in Nothing’s audio portfolio. No over-ear headphones. Until now.
Enter: Nothing Headphone (1). The company has officially confirmed it’ll launch its first pair of over-ear headphones on July 1, alongside the debut of the Phone (3). And in classic Nothing fashion, the Headphone (1) appears to be another playfully unconventional product.
1. A design that’s trying really hard to be different
As you might expect from Nothing, the Headphone 1 doesn’t look like most headphones. For one, they’re partially transparent. But the transparency here is subtler and doesn’t reveal much about the internals of the headphone.
What’s even more interesting is that Nothing has decided to make the earcups rectangular. Not oval. Not circular. Just clean rectangles.
Actually, the ear cups are a two-part affair. The bottom half appears to be made out of metal, while the top has an oval module that resembles a cassette tape. It’s all very on-brand for Nothing, a company that tends to flirt with retro nostalgia while trying to keep one foot in the future.
There are three physical buttons visible on it. The two are tucked on the side, and one is parked on the face of the cup. Minimalist, but maybe not minimal enough for the true purists.
Oh, and there seems to be no folding mechanism on the headband. You’re going to be wearing these around your neck or dedicating backpack space if you want to take them anywhere.
2. Sound by KEF
Despite the noise around the design, the Headphone 1 isn’t just about looks. This is also Nothing’s first over-ear venture into more premium audio territory, and they’re not going it alone.
According to early information, the headphones are being co-developed with KEF, a respected name in the hi-fi world.
This has been confirmed as the Headphone (1) has “Sound by KEF” printed on the cups. Branding aside, we hope this sets the bar a little higher for what these cans should be able to deliver. Until now, Nothing’s earbuds have mostly lived in the “pretty good for the price” zone. This collaboration could push them into new territory.
3. Moving up the price ladder
The Nothing Headphone 1 will reportedly be priced at $299, making it the most expensive audio product Nothing has ever released. That puts them well above the company’s earbuds (which generally hover between $99 and $149) and starts nudging into premium territory.
They’re still well under Apple’s AirPods Max ($549) and Sony’s WH-1000XM5 ($399), but this is Nothing testing the waters of a more upmarket tier. That might not seem like a huge leap for a company that’s been pushing design-forward gadgets from the start, but for consumers who’ve mostly seen Nothing as a stylish budget brand, it could take some re-framing.
That price also brings expectations—like active noise cancellation, multi-point connectivity, spatial audio, and decent battery life (Nothing hasn’t shared specs yet, but you’d expect at least 30–40 hours at this price point). Whether Nothing delivers on all of that is another question entirely.
4. Final words
Ultimately, Headphone 1 feels like a bet. Nothing is betting that people want headphones that don’t look like headphones. That transparency, rectangles, and tape-deck nostalgia still have enough cultural weight to draw attention, and that partnering with KEF will translate to more than just a logo on the side.
Whether this lands as a hit or not depends on more than just the look. It’ll come down to comfort, performance, battery life, noise cancellation, and the million other tiny things that define whether a pair of headphones becomes an everyday staple or an expensive curiosity.
But at the very least, it doesn’t look like anything else on the market. And that, for better or worse, is very Nothing.

The Nothing Phone (3) is shaping up to be the company’s most powerful phone yet, and a new Geekbench listing is adding to the buzz just days before its official debut on July 1. With upgraded performance and a flagship-grade spec sheet, Nothing’s latest may finally put it in the big leagues.
Nothing phone 3 specs leak
According to a listing, the Phone (3)’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 notched 2,076 in the single-core test and 6,577 in multi-core—solid numbers for a near-flagship processor. Compared to the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 used in the Phone (2), Nothing CEO Carl Pei says the new chip brings a 36% boost in CPU performance, 88% in GPU, and 60% in NPU, offering snappier overall performance. In fact, the chip’s scores are pretty close to the performance-centric iQOO Neo 10, so users can expect the Phone (3) to feel fast and responsive in everyday use.
Nothing Phone 3
The listing also reveals 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and, as expected, Android 15—likely running with Nothing OS 3.5 on top. Nothing is also reportedly extending its software support, promising five years of OS updates and seven years of security patches, up from the 3+4 support offered with the previous model.
Leaked specs suggest the Phone (3) will sport a 6.7-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, 1920Hz PWM, and 3,000 nits peak brightness. If true, it will be an upgrade over the 1600 nits peak of the predecessor. Under the hood, a 5,150mAh battery is expected to support 100W wired charging.
Camera-wise, the phone may feature a versatile quad 50MP setup— main with OIS, ultrawide, 3x periscope zoom, and a front-facing camera. The signature Glyph Matrix design will add Nothing’s unique visual flair.
With strong performance, a standout display, and a beefed-up camera setup, the Phone (3) looks ready to compete with the OnePlus 13. Whether it can truly live up to the hype remains to be seen, but Nothing’s upcoming launch is one to watch.
Vivo just wrapped up a major launch event in China, where it introduced the X Fold 5 foldable alongside a handful of other devices. Now, the next big thing from the company is likely the X300 series, reportedly coming in four flavors: the X300, X300 Pro Mini, X300 Pro, and X300 Ultra.
Well, according to a new leak from a known tipster, Digital Chat Station, the X300 Pro will ship with a new Sony IMX09A main camera.
Vivo X200 Pro
Vivo X300 Pro will have a 50MP main camera
Claimed to be an “iterative” upgrade over the Sony LYT-818 used in the X200 Pro and X200 Pro Mini, the IMX09A will be a 50-megapixel sensor with a 1/1.28-inch optical format and 1.22μm pixel size.
The sensor reportedly uses a UHCG (Ultra High Conversion Gain) circuit to improve light sensitivity and signal-to-noise performance.
Whereas, its other improvements are said to include support for DCG HDR (dual conversion gain high dynamic range), and the inclusion of an updated “DCG+VS” tech — likely referring to a hybrid dynamic range processing method that further improves contrast and detail retention in complex lighting.
In addition, DCS reiterates that the phone will be powered by MediaTek’s upcoming Dimensity 9500 chip. The Vivo X300 and X300 Pro mini are also expected to use the same mobile silicon, while the Ultra model will get the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2.
There’s no word yet on the exact launch timing for the X300 Pro or the broader Dimensity 9500 platform it’s expected to be part of. However, leaks suggest Vivo might launch the X300 series in October this year.

Vivo has officially launched the X Fold 5 in China, marking a significant step forward in the foldable smartphone space. Marketed as the world’s lightest large-format foldable phone, the X Fold 5 weighs just 217g in its Titanium finish and introduces several industry-firsts. Let’s check out the key specs of this device.
Vivo X Fold 5 Specifications
The X Fold 5 features an 8.03-inch inner AMOLED display with a 2K+ resolution of 2480×2200 pixels, supporting a 1-120Hz adaptive LTPO refresh rate and up to 4500 nits peak brightness.
The outer screen is a 6.53-inch FHD+ LTPO AMOLED panel with the same 120Hz refresh rate and brightness level. Both displays support 10.7 billion colors, Dolby Vision, and high-frequency PWM dimming for reduced eye strain. The inner screen is protected by UTG glass, while the outer display uses second-generation Armor Glass for improved durability.
The phone runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, combined with up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB UFS 4.0 storage. It uses a custom hinge-integrated antenna setup that improves signal strength by 36% in the folded state. Vivo has tuned the network performance in collaboration with Qualcomm for multi-band signal enhancement.
The device runs OriginOS 5 based on Android 15 and introduces a new productivity-focused feature called “Atomic Workbench.” It supports up to five simultaneous apps in split-screen view with drag-and-drop functionality, designed for heavy multitasking.

Xiaomi has officially teased its upcoming open-ear audio product, the Xiaomi Open Earbuds Pro. The announcement came through the company’s Weibo account, which described the product as a “new frontier in open-ear sound quality.” The earbuds will be unveiled at Xiaomi’s launch event in China on June 26 at 7 PM local time.
The Xiaomi Open Earbuds Pro is the first product in the industry to feature an open-style five-driver system. Xiaomi has collaborated with Harman for audio tuning, indicating a focus on balanced sound output. The earbuds also use skin-friendly liquid silicone material and follow an ergonomic design to support long hours of use.
Compared to the base model launched last year, the design of the Pro variant has undergone a significant overhaul. The earlier model had a horizontal pill-shaped case with a glossy finish and a minimal aesthetic. It used a slim, curved over-ear hook and focused on delivering a lifestyle-friendly appearance.
The Pro model uses a squarer clamshell-style case with a matte soft-touch finish and a more functional design. The earbuds are bulkier, and the ear hooks are thicker and rubberized to improve grip and wear stability. The overall look is more practical and fitness-focused than the polished appearance of the previous model.
According to certification documents, the product carries model number M2503E1 and is officially called “Xiaomi OpenWear Stereo Pro.” It has passed through multiple regulatory bodies, including the FCC, China’s MIIT, and Bluetooth SIG. The charging case includes a 788mAh battery with 6W charging support, while each earbud houses a 56mAh cell. The product supports Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology.
The base OpenWear Stereo, launched globally in July 2024, offered 10mm drivers, AI noise cancellation, HyperOS integration, and up to 38.5 hours of battery life. Xiaomi has not confirmed whether the Pro variant will introduce upgrades beyond the driver configuration or whether it will be sold internationally. The earbuds will launch alongside other products such as the Redmi K80 Ultra, Redmi K Pad, and Xiaomi Pad 7S Pro.

Huawei Pura 80 Ultra and OnePlus 13 represent two of the most advanced flagship smartphones of 2025, each pushing boundaries in design, performance, and camera technology. With Huawei focusing on powerful zoom capabilities and satellite connectivity, and OnePlus prioritizing raw performance and display innovation, this comparison highlights a critical choice for premium users. Whether you value imaging versatility or all-around power at a lower price, this matchup helps decide which flagship truly delivers better value and everyday excellence.
Build and Feel: Both phones offer a premium build with glass fronts and aluminum frames, along with IP68/IP69 protection. However, the Pura 80 Ultra emphasizes its solid craftsmanship with Kunlun Glass 2 and a more symmetrical design, while the OnePlus 13 enhances user comfort through its eco-leather variant and lighter form factor. The OnePlus’s under-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor also provides a more modern unlocking experience compared to the Pura’s side-mounted sensor. Overall, OnePlus 13 feels more ergonomic and innovative in its build approach.
Display Quality: The OnePlus 13 features an LTPO 4.1 AMOLED panel with superior brightness levels, reaching up to 4500 nits peak, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and 2160Hz PWM dimming, ideal for both visibility and eye comfort. The Pura 80 Ultra also offers a vibrant LTPO OLED panel with 1440Hz PWM and 3000 nits peak brightness. While both displays are sharp and color-rich, OnePlus edges ahead with its higher peak brightness and advanced display tech, making it more versatile under direct sunlight and in HDR content consumption.
Verdict: The OnePlus 13 has a slight edge in both ergonomics and display tech. Its ultra-bright, high-frequency AMOLED panel and sleeker feel give it an advantage for daily use and multimedia consumption.
Performance: Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite (3nm), the OnePlus 13 offers one of the most powerful Android experiences available, with high-frequency Oryon V2 cores and Adreno 830 GPU. The Huawei Pura 80 Ultra, on the other hand, runs on the 7nm Kirin 9020, which while capable, lags in raw CPU and GPU power. The OnePlus also supports UFS 4.0 storage across more variants, ensuring faster read/write speeds. For gaming, multitasking, and longevity, the OnePlus 13 delivers a significantly stronger performance package.
Battery and Charging: The Pura 80 Ultra sports a 5700 mAh battery with 100W wired and 80W wireless charging, while the OnePlus 13 boasts a slightly larger 6000 mAh cell with equally fast 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging. While both have reverse wireless and wired capabilities, OnePlus charges marginally faster (50% in 13 minutes) and offers a better battery capacity overall.
Verdict: OnePlus 13 takes the lead in this segment due to its flagship-grade Snapdragon chip, larger battery, and optimized fast charging support. It’s more future-proof for power users.
3. Camera
Huawei Pura 80 Ultra
Main and Secondary Lenses: Huawei Pura 80 Ultra boasts a quad-camera system with dual periscope lenses, one at 3.7x and another at 9.4x optical zoom, both stabilized with sensor-shift OIS. It also features a massive 1-inch-type primary sensor and a high-res ultrawide lens. The OnePlus 13, though impressive with its 50MP triple setup and Hasselblad tuning, offers just a single periscope lens (3x zoom) and a smaller primary sensor. For zoom flexibility and sensor quality, Huawei pulls ahead, especially for professional-grade photography.
Selfie Camera: Huawei’s 13MP ultrawide selfie shooter delivers good detail and field of view with 4K support, but the OnePlus 13’s 32MP front camera provides better resolution and more advanced 4K/60fps recording. It also captures finer textures and skin tones with better color calibration, making it more appealing for creators and video calls.
Verdict: Huawei takes the lead in rear camera versatility and zoom range, but OnePlus wins on selfie camera quality and front-facing video performance. Huawei is better for photography enthusiasts, while OnePlus suits vloggers and content creators.
4. Pricing
Huawei Pura 80 Ultra is priced around $1500, whereas the OnePlus 13 starts at $1000 for its 12GB RAM variant and goes up depending on storage. Despite Huawei offering an advanced camera system and unique features like satellite messaging (China-only), it comes at a significantly higher cost.
The OnePlus 13 delivers top-tier performance, battery, and display tech for a considerably lower price, making it the more practical flagship for most users. In terms of value, OnePlus offers a more compelling package.
Disclaimer: Prices are approximate and may vary based on country, region, and applicable taxes.
5. Conclusion
OnePlus 13
Huawei Pura 80 Ultra offers standout photography capabilities with its dual periscope setup and 1-inch main sensor, plus BDS satellite messaging in China. Its ultra-premium construction and 80W wireless charging further add to its appeal. Meanwhile, the OnePlus 13 shines in raw performance, ultra-bright display, and better software support with 4 Android upgrades. It also has features like “Circle to Search” and advanced audio enhancements.
Verdict: Choose the Huawei Pura 80 Ultra if photography flexibility and luxury build are priorities. Go for the OnePlus 13 if top-end performance, better pricing, and a more complete daily driver matter more. For most users, the OnePlus 13 is the smarter flagship choice.

Xiaomi is preparing to host one of its most ambitious product events of the year on June 26, bringing a diverse lineup that spans foldable smartphones, high-performance tablets, wearables, and even an electric SUV. The company has teased its intent to expand far beyond mobile, and this event solidifies its push into a broader hardware ecosystem.
Xiaomi Mix Flip 2
The star of the event is expected to be the Mix Flip 2, Xiaomi’s first flip-style foldable and its only foldable for 2025. The device aims to compete directly with Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 7, and the specifications make that ambition clear. It is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and features a 6.85-inch LTPO AMOLED inner display alongside a 4.01-inch outer screen.
Imaging is handled by a dual rear camera setup tuned by Leica, including a 50MP main sensor. The device is rated IPX8 for water resistance, and battery life should be among the best in the flip segment thanks to a 5,100mAh cell. The phone supports 67W wired and 50W wireless charging. With no Mix Fold launching this year, the Mix Flip 2 stands as Xiaomi’s sole entry into the foldable market in 2025.

The Pad 7S Pro is expected to compete with premium devices like the iPad Pro, though pricing may be slightly more accessible. It is designed for creative professionals and power users who are already part of Xiaomi’s HyperOS ecosystem.
Redmi K80 Ultra
The Redmi K80 Ultra is also set to launch at the event. This device will serve as Redmi’s summer performance flagship, with a focus on gaming and raw processing power. While full specifications are yet to be detailed officially, it is expected to come with aggressive pricing and a hardware configuration that reflects the brand’s high-performance identity. The design language continues Redmi’s trend of blending industrial aesthetics with practical functionality.
Xiaomi YU7 Electric SUV
In a move that highlights Xiaomi’s broader ambitions, the event will also mark the debut of the company’s first electric SUV, the Xiaomi YU7. The vehicle has already been spotted in leaked renders and spec documentation. It is expected to feature a 96.3kWh battery, deliver a driving range of up to 835 kilometers, and offer rapid acceleration capabilities.
The YU7 marks Xiaomi’s formal entry into the automotive sector following the debut of its SU7 electric sedan earlier in the year.

Apple’s iOS 26 Beta 2 is here, and while it brings a host of improvements and refinements over the first beta, that doesn’t mean it’s ready for everyone. Between limited feature availability, hardware restrictions, and lingering bugs, there are several good reasons why you might want to hold off on installing iOS 26 Beta 2.
Although iOS 26 Beta 2 is more stable than Beta 1, it’s still a developer release, not a public beta. That means it’s designed for testing, not daily reliability. You may encounter random app crashes, system slowdowns, or UI glitches. If you rely on your iPhone for work, travel, or critical communication, this isn’t the OS version you want to be running just yet.
2. Apple Intelligence Is Still MIA
Apple iOS 26: Visual Intelligence
Much of the iOS 26 hype is centered around Apple Intelligence, which is Apple’s answer to AI features from Google. But there’s a catch: most of these features are locked behind hardware restrictions. Unless you’re using an iPhone 15 Pro, Pro Max, or one of the latest iPhone 16 models, you won’t get access to ChatGPT-powered Visual Intelligence, on-screen search, or the enhanced AI assistant tools. So this could be a frustrating experience for older iPhone users that use the iPhone 14 or iPhone 13 lineup.
3. Battery Life and Performance Issues Still Linger
iOS 26 Live Translate
The Cupertino based giant just rolled out the iOS 2 Beta 2 a day before, and there are already complaints from early adopters. Some have claimed that their iPhones have offered the worst battery life. This is due to a mix of reasons including inconsistent standby times and overheating during light use. Some background processes tied to new features have been taxing the iPhone’s chips more heavily.
While Apple has refined the beta and efficiency by passing tasks in the background, these optimizations are still not consistent across all iPhones. So you might want to consider the battery life overall before joining the iOS 26 Beta 2. There have already been issues with the general day-to-day use, with issues related to the redesigned Control Center and updated Camera app.
4. Better Builds Are Right Around the Corner
With Apple’s Public Beta expected in early July and a stable release coming in September, it’s smarter to wait. The public beta will likely fix many of the core bugs and be optimized for broader hardware support. If you’re not a developer and can wait for a bit longer, I’d suggest waiting before running into the current iOS 26 Beta builds.

Google‘s Pixel 10 series of flagship phones is highly anticipated, but the base Pixel 10 model might be a bit disappointing. Despite the various improvements in the processor and in other areas, there have also been rumors of some compromises, with the latest rumor bringing the thermal performance into question as well. So here’s what we know.
Google Pixel 10 Still Missing Vapor Chamber Cooling
The latest news arrives from an AndroidHeadlines report, which claims that the vapor chamber will be skipped on the base Pixel once again. To recall, last year’s Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL came with a vapor chamber for better thermal management, but this feature was skipped on the base Pixel 9. So it’s odd that Google could be skipping this crucial feature on the Pixel 10 this year, despite this model being a flagship device.
Google Pixel 10
This is yet another compromise on the upcoming Pixel 10. A previous report had revealed the entire camera specs of the Pixel 10 lineup, which pointed to the standard Pixel 10 getting a telephoto shooter. While this is a new addition in the camera system, the main camera is getting a massive downgrade with the primary sensor dropped from a flagship 1/1.31-inch sensor to a 1/1.95-inch sensor.
With the Tensor getting more powerful each year, a vapor chamber would seem basic, so hopefully this report isn’t actually true. Talking about some more disappointing news, the Pixel 10 will likely not receive the brand new “Ultra Res Zoom” or ultra stable video recording.
