Jun 23, 2025

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold7 is still a few weeks away from launch, but that hasn’t stopped the leaks from heating up. A hands-on video with a dummy unit gives us an early look at how the next-gen foldable stacks up against its predecessor.

The video, shared by Korean YouTube channel TheSINZA, showcases what appears to be a Z Fold7 dummy model. While it’s not a working device, it offers a close approximation of the final design. Compared to the Z Fold6, the dummy reveals a noticeably slimmer profile. When folded, the alleged Z Fold7 dummy measures around 9mm thick, and just 4.5mm when unfolded—a significant trim-down from the Fold6’s 12.1mm and 5.6mm thickness. Weight has reportedly dropped as well, with the new model rumored to come in at 215g, making it significantly lighter than both the Z Fold6 (239g) and even the Galaxy S25 Ultra (218g).

The external screen also appears to be getting a size boost. The dummy shows a 6.5-inch cover display with a 21:9 aspect ratio, up from 6.3 inches, while the inner display is expected to grow to 8.2 inches. In terms of color, the Fold7 dummy was shown in Blue Shadow and Jet Black, likely among the launch color options. While details like camera specs remain unconfirmed, some rumors point to a 200MP main sensor—a significant upgrade if accurate.

Battery capacity is said to remain at 4,400mAh, which has sparked some debate, especially when compared to rivals like the Honor Magic V5 that packs a much larger 6,100mAh cell. Still, Samsung could limit the power consumption and offer an acceptable battery life.

With the official Galaxy Unpacked event set for July 9, the Fold7 is shaping up to be Samsung’s thinnest and most refined foldable yet. Whether it can outshine competition from the likes of Vivo or Honor remains to be seen, but based on early impressions, it’s certainly a strong contender.

Realme GT 8 Pro could pack anti-glare display tech similar to S25 Ultra

Jun 23, 2025

Realme may be stepping up its display game in a big way. According to new leaks, the upcoming GT 8 Pro is expected to feature a high-end anti-glare screen similar to the one used on Samsung’s premium Galaxy S25 Ultra. That could make it one of the most visually impressive phones Realme has ever launched.

The GT 8 Pro is rumored to arrive in Q3 or Q4 2025 with a 6.85-inch 2K OLED display sourced from Samsung. What sets it apart is the AR anti-glare coating, a treatment that debuted on the Galaxy S24 Ultra. It’s designed to significantly reduce reflections, making content easier to see outdoors and in harsh lighting.

If true, this would mark a major upgrade over the GT 7 Pro (review), which launched in 2024 with a 6.78-inch 1.5K panel. Realme is also reportedly using a polarizer-free OLED, which can make the display thinner and more power-efficient.

Under the hood, the GT 8 Pro is expected to run on Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chip. That said, all this high-end hardware might come at a cost. According to reports, the GT 8 Pro could have one of the highest bill of materials among 2025 Android flagships.

Still, Realme has a track record of delivering strong value. The GT 7 Pro launched at ₹59,999 in India (around $690), a far cry from the $1,299 starting price of Samsung’s S25 Ultra. If Realme can keep the GT 8 Pro priced competitively, it could be a serious contender.

The display will likely support Dolby Vision and a 120Hz refresh rate, putting it in the same league as Samsung’s 2,600-nit HDR10+ panel, though brightness and durability specifics are still under wraps. The GT7 Pro, for context, reaches a global peak brightness of 2000 nits and local peak brightness of 6500 nits. More details should emerge as we head closer to its expected late-2025 launch.

Next-Gen OnePlus & Oppo Phones Will Finally Feature Magnetic Wireless Charging

By

Jun 23, 2025

Apple‘s MagSafe technology has been a staple for its iPhones. However, the Qi2 standard that supports magnetic wireless charging is still a rarity on Androids. Oppo and OnePlu s took advantage of certain cases to launch some magnetic accessories in the recent past, but a fresh report claims that the next-gen smartphones might feature this technology without needing a special protective cover.

Future OnePlus & Oppo Phones May Support Magnetic Wireless Charging

The news arrives from known Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station, who shared the details on Weibo. In the online post, he claimed that Oppo (and likely OnePlus) is developing true magnetic wireless charging for its future devices. The Oppo Mag (vs MagSafe) line of accessories released in China was only compatible with cases with built-in magnets, but future models would house it within their chassis.

This technology will likely make its debut in premium next-gen smartphones like the OnePlus 15 or the Oppo Find X9 series. DCS further adds that Oppo is working on the technology with a new design that will allow it to avoid Apple’s MagSafe patent. But regardless of how it sounds, it won’t be compatible with actual MagSafe compatible accessories from Apple or third party sellers like Anker.

The tipster stated that the source close to the matter said that this technology will take up space in the internals, causing a slight shrinkage in battery size. But this is where the silicon carbide (SiC) battery tech comes in. Oppo would’ve been able to pack a massive 6,800mAh or 7,000mAh battery pack without this magnetic tech. So the capacity might not push the ludicrous figures in next gen models.

Jun 23, 2025

Xiaomi is preparing for a large-scale product launch on June 26 in China, where it will unveil a slate of new devices, including the Redmi K80 Ultra, the Redmi K Pad, and a new 12.5-inch Pad 7S Pro.

Also on the docket is the Mix Flip 2, the company’s second-generation foldable flip phone. Ahead of the announcement, Xiaomi has shared official images of the device, and it’s already been spotted in early Geekbench performance tests.

Visually, the Mix Flip 2 doesn’t stray far from the template set by its predecessor. The cover screen still has two camera cutouts arranged vertically. While the device appears to have a minimal screen bezel.

From the press images shared by Xiaomi, the phone will be available in at least three color finishes: green, gold, and purple.

Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 Geekbench

More interestingly, the Mix Flip 2 has appeared in the Geekbench database under the model number 2505APX7BC. According to the test results, the phone is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. The same SoC powers the Honor’s upcoming Magic V5 and Oppo Find N5.

The foldable scores 2835 points in the single-core test and 8550 points in the multi-core test. The Geekbench listing also confirms 12GB as one of its memory options, and Android 15 OS out of the box.

It is expected to ship with a 6.85-inch LTPO AMOLED main screen with around 1.5K resolution, paired with a large dual-curve external display. On the outside, it may feature a 4.01-inch cover display that will offer an improved user experience.

The foldable is also said to support IPX8 water resistance and 50W wireless charging, along with a combined battery capacity of around 5,050mAh with 67W fast charging.

Huawei quietly confirms Pocket 2 Premium Edition

Jun 23, 2025

Huawei has officially confirmed the Pocket 2 Premium Edition, a slightly reworked version of its vertical foldable, through a post on its Weibo account. The announcement doesn’t offer much in terms of new features, but it does lock in pricing, color variants, and a release timeline.

The Premium Edition will be available in two configurations: 12GB RAM with 256GB of storage for 5,499 yuan, and a 512GB version for 5,999 yuan. Interestingly, the price is about 2,000 yuan cheaper than the standard Pocket 2, which originally launched starting at 7,499 yuan.

It’s a noticeable discount, though the “premium” moniker doesn’t seem to correspond with a more capable spec sheet, at least not based on what Huawei is saying publicly.

Color options for the Premium model include Tahitian Grey, Rococo White, Taro Purple, and Elegant Black. These are the same finishes we’ve seen before, and visually, the teaser doesn’t show much to distinguish this variant from its higher-priced sibling.

Huawei hasn’t confirmed changes to the internal hardware yet, but earlier reports have hinted at a possible chipset upgrade to the Kirin 9020A, which allegedly delivers a 35% performance bump over the Kirin 9000s used in the current Pocket 2. Whether this claim holds up will likely be settled during or after the sales event.

Huawei Pocket 2 Specifications

The Pocket 2’s base specs remain unchanged on paper. It features a 6.94-inch OLED main screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and a smaller 1.15-inch OLED cover screen. The camera setup includes a 50MP main shooter with OIS, a 12MP ultrawide, an 8MP telephoto, and a 2MP hyperspectral sensor. On the front, there’s a 10.7MP ultrawide camera.

The device still runs HarmonyOS 4.0, has a 4520mAh battery with 66W wired charging, and supports IPX8 water resistance. Other carry-over features include UV protection testing, satellite messaging via Beidou, and a few cosmetic perks like animated pet themes.

Sales for the Pocket 2 Premium Edition begin June 26 at 10:08 AM through VMall and Huawei-authorized stores in China. The device won’t likely make its way outside of the Chinese market.

Flagship killers are one of the more interesting kinds of smartphones. These can wedge between premium and mid-range smartphones with a balancing act between cutting-edge specs and accessible pricing. Xiaomi‘s upcoming Redmi K80 Ultra is building up to be one such model with some top tier features while likely retaining the affordable pricing of its predecessor. So here’s a detailed roundup where we cover everything we know about this device.

Redmi K80 Ultra: Design & Display

The Chinese tech giant’s Redmi K80 Ultra is expected to launch with a body that has flat sides, rear, and front. The frame uses metal, while the rear has a fiberglass panel. It measures 8.18mm in terms of thickness and 219 grams in weight. Users are also getting an IP68/IP69 rating for water and dust resistance.

Redmi is also bringing improvements to the cooling system with a 6500mm² 3D Ice-Sealed Circulating Cooling Pump. Meanwhile, the front sports a tall 6.83-inch flat M9 display with a FHD+ resolution, a 144Hz refresh rate, up to 3200 nits of peak brightness, and Dragon Crystal glass protection.

Performance

Xiaomi is bringing flagship level performance with MediaTek’s latest and greatest Dimensity 9400+ chipset, which is paired with a D2 discrete GPU. There is also LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage. Despite its dimensions, the Redmi K80 Ultra is powered by a massive 7,410mAh battery pack under the hood, which supports 100W wired fast charging and bypass charging functionality.

Even the audio system is getting upgrades with dual stereo speakers that use 1115 coaxial drivers and a 0916C X-axis linear motor to enhance audio and haptic feedback. Other notable features include an IR blaster, NFC, USB 2.0 port, Surge charging chip, and more.

Camera

For photography, the Redmi K80 Ultra is set to feature a 50MP Light Hunter 800 primary sensor (1/1.55-inch sensor size), which is likely a custom OmniVision sensor. There is also OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) support. This is paired with an 8MP OV08F ultra wide angle lens. On the front, there is a 20MP OV20B shooter for selfies and video calls.

Launch, Colors, & Availability

Xiaomi is gearing up for a major launch event that will take place in China on June 26, where the brand will unveil the Xiaomi YU7 SUV, Mix Flip 2, Redmi K Pad, and Redmi K80 Ultra, among others. While the pricing details are still at large, we can expect the Redmi K80 Ultra to continue the aggressive pricing strategy like its predecessor, the Redmi K70 Ultra. But we do know that the budget flagship will debut in multiple color options, namely Spruce Green, Ice Blue, Moon Rock White, and Sandstone Grey.

Galaxy A56 & A36 get this AI-powered video feature straight from the S series

Jun 23, 2025

Samsung is bringing one of its coolest video features to more affordable phones. Thanks to a new update, the Galaxy A36 and A56 can now apply slow-motion effects to regular videos — no fancy equipment or pro editing skills needed.

The feature comes through Samsung’s Galaxy Enhance-X app

The Galaxy Enhance-X app now includes an AI-powered “Slow Mo” mode. It’s similar to the Instant Slow Mo feature found on flagship devices like the Galaxy S25 series. Announced via Samsung’s community forum, the update makes it possible to add smooth slow-motion to any video, even if it wasn’t originally recorded in slow-motion.

For anyone who enjoys sharing content online, this could be a fun way to highlight dramatic or emotional moments, sports clips, or just elevate everyday memories. With a simple tap while the video plays, you can slow down a section, then release to go back to normal speed — up to three slow-motion moments per clip.

On the Galaxy A56, the feature is built directly into the Gallery app. For the A36, it works through the Galaxy Enhance-X app version 15.2.17. This feature uses AI to generate new frames required for a smoother slow-motion effect. According to Samsung, the AI-generated frames does not affect the clarity of the video.

This update is part of Samsung’s broader effort to bring premium features to its mid-range Galaxy A-series. If you haven’t already, you can download the Galaxy Enhance-X app from the Galaxy Store to give it a try.

Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold Leak: Sleeker and More Durable with IP68 Rating

By

Jun 23, 2025

Google’s next-gen foldable, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, is shaping up to be both slimmer and more durable. A fresh leak has revealed an upgrade in terms of its water and dust resistance over its predecessor, along with a sleeker new design. So here’s what we know.

Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold: Slimmer & Tougher?

The news arrives from an AndroidHeadlines report, which claims that the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is getting a thinner hinge mechanism this year. This would help slim down the phone as well to better compete with competitors like the Samsung Galaxy Fold 7. So the overall feel of the upcoming foldable device is likely getting easier to hold. But one of the biggest upgrades is the new IP68 rating.

If this report is true, then the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold is the first foldable phone with such a rating. A typical foldable phone forgoes dust proofing but features water resistance like an IPX8 rating. Samsung’s new flagship foldable, the Galaxy Z Fold 7, is also bringing an IP48 rating for upgraded resistance to the elements. This makes the Google foldable one of the toughest of its kind. For those unaware, the “6” in IP68 means a dust tight body, while the “8” refers to the ability to withstand water submersion up to one meter for 30 minutes.

Google is expected to make its global debut on August 20. A recent set of leaked renders showcases a design that resembles the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Meanwhile, a massive rumor revealed that the cameras of the entire Pixel 10 lineup hints that the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is retaining the exact same camera setup with minor changes to the primary shooter. So the 12MP Samsung 3J1 telephoto shooter and 12MP Samsung 3J1 ultra wide angle lens are paired with a 50MP Sony GN8 sensor.

Nothing Headphone (1) certification reveals quite a bit

Jun 23, 2025

ColorOS has released a significant update for the OnePlus 13 and Ace 5 smartphones in China. The version 15.0.0.831 rollout was officially announced in the 42nd weekly version upgrade post on the OnePlus Community, and it introduces several new features aimed at improving productivity, gaming, and overall system experience.

What’s new in this update?

The update adds remote control support for Windows PCs, allowing users to access files and control their computer screens directly from their phones. This turns the OnePlus 13 and Ace 5 into useful tools for light productivity and remote file access.

OnePlus 13 users also receive a new cross-device communication feature that works without needing to manually enable the WLAN toggle. This improves device interoperability, especially in multi-device setups.

ColorOS 15.0.0.831 introduces a “Game Camera” feature that allows players to capture gameplay moments using one-click replay and live screenshots. In supported games like Honor of Kings, users can also team up by simply bumping two devices together. This proximity-based pairing streamlines local multiplayer setups.

The update enhances the “Xiaobu Memory” feature with smart screen clipping via three-finger swipe gestures. It also introduces AI categorization and summarization, helping users manage captured content more efficiently.

The AI Document app gains a new mind map generator, allowing for quick visual organization of ideas. ColorOS has also added a new “Usage Tips” app, a speaker water-ejection function under Phone Manager, and stricter permission control for sideloaded apps on the OnePlus 13.

ColorOS has refined several aspects of the user interface, including improved notification stacking, updated fingerprint unlock visuals, and more consistent keyboard layouts. Additionally, a new “Reduce White Point” toggle helps users who are sensitive to high screen brightness.

Performance improvements include faster touch response times, better app locking in the recents screen, and a smarter Settings search function that supports spaced words and misspellings. The update also includes the June 2025 Android security patch.

Availability

The ColorOS 15.0.0.831 update is now rolling out in batches to OnePlus 13 and Ace 5 users in China. Broader availability may follow in the coming weeks, depending on regional release schedules.

Honor Magic V5 hands-on images and leaks reveal complete design and key specs

Jun 23, 2025

Honor Magic V5 is set to launch on July 2, 2025. But ahead of the official debut, leaked hands-on images and detailed specs have surfaced, offering a comprehensive look at what could be the thinnest horizontal foldable yet—without compromising on battery life or flagship features.

Hands-on images shared by tipster Digital Chat Station show a slim and refined design—possibly even thinner than Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Z Fold7, which is expected to measure 4.54mm when unfolded and include a much smaller 4,400mAh battery.

The Magic V5 has already been confirmed to measure just 8.8mm when folded, which makes it 0.1mm slimmer than the Oppo Find N5 and the slimmest foldable Android so far. The predecessor, the Magic V3, measures 9.2mm when closed. The Magic V5 also undercuts the weight of many premium smartphones, coming in at only 217g—lighter than the Galaxy S25 Ultra by a single gram, Magic V3 by 9g, and the Find N5 by 12g.

Despite the slim and lightweight profile, Honor hasn’t held back on battery capacity. The Magic V5 packs a 6,100mAh silicon-carbon battery—reportedly the largest in any foldable—supported by 66W wired and 50W wireless charging.

The Magic V5 is expected to come with a 50MP main camera, a 50MP ultrawide (13mm), and a 50MP periscope telephoto lens with 3x (70mm) optical zoom. Honor hasn’t revealed the exact sensor sizes yet, but recent hands-on photos reveal a noticeably raised camera bump, even thicker than the unfolded device itself—hinting at larger sensors under the hood. For comparison, the previous model used a 1/1.56″ 50MP main sensor and a 1/2.51″ 3.5x (90mm) periscope telephoto. Combined with rumored image processing upgrades, the Magic V5 could bring a meaningful step up in photography and video quality.

The device runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite, and reportedly includes a 6.45-inch LTPO OLED cover display and a large 7.95-inch 2K foldable inner display. Whether the Magic V5 can live up to the hype remains to be seen, but based on early leaks, it’s shaping up to be one of the most ambitious foldables of the year.

Jun 23, 2025

The device has just debuted in Taiwan, with its design, specs, and features finally being confirmed. So here’s everything you need to know.

Vivo X200 FE: What does it offer?

The Chinese tech giant has managed to jam-pack a bunch of great hardware in a relatively small form factor.

Under the hood, it is equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ along with 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 512GB of UFS 3.1 storage.

Vivo-X200-FE-color-options — Vivo X200 FE

A massive 6,500mAh battery pack powers this device, which supports 90W wired fast charging. Despite these hefty specs, it only weighs 186 grams and measures 7.99mm in terms of thickness. So, despite being ever-so slightly thinner than the OnePlus 13s, you get a bigger battery and a Zeiss-tuned triple camera setup on the rear. These include a 50MP Sony IMX921 primary sensor, a 50MP Sony IMX882 telephoto shooter with 3x optical zoom, and an 8MP ultra wide angle lens.

Except for the ultra wide, the other two cameras are the exact same as the flagship Vivo X200. For selfies and video calls, you get a 50MP shooter on the front. Other notable features include an IP68+IP69 rating for water and dust resistance, Bluetooth 5.4, color temperature sensor, IR blaster, and much more. This model has been announced in Taiwan for 26,999 NTD (or roughly around 910 US Dollars) for the 512GB variant. It is also listed for 5,498 HKD in Hong Kong (roughly 700 US Dollars) and 2,999 RM in Malaysia.

Jun 23, 2025

Xiaomi is finally rolling out the anticipated HyperOS 2.2 update outside China. It’s now available to several devices across Europe and will expand to more markets over the coming weeks and months.

As shared by folks at Xiaomi Time, Xiaomi is updating eight of its devices to HyperOS 2.2 in Europe. The initial rollout is currently limited to HyperOS Beta testers. However, it won’t be long before it starts rolling out to non-beta users as well.

Xiaomi devices getting HyperOS 2.2 update globally

Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G (2.0.201.0.VNOEUXM)
Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G (2.0.202.0.VOOEUXM)
POCO X7 Pro (2.0.201.0.VOJEUXM)
Xiaomi 14T Pro (2.0.203.0.VNNEUXM)
Xiaomi 15 (2.0.201.0.VOCEUXM)
Xiaomi 15 Ultra (2.0.202.0.VOAEUXM)

Redmi 13/POCO M6 (2.0.201.0.VNTEUXM)
Redmi Pad Pro 5G (2.0.201.0.VFSEUXM)

Xiaomi typically rolls out the latest releases to beta users first, and HyperOS 2.2 is no different. If you want to be among the first to get the latest updates, sign up to become a beta tester via the Mi Community app, but note that early builds may contain annoying bugs. For a stable software experience, you need to wait a little extra to get fully-cooked software.

What’s new in HyperOS 2.2?

The update introduces a range of improvements across the system to enhance the usability and stability of HyperOS. There are also some new features. The HyperOS 2.2 update optimizes animation responsiveness and horizontal screen applications for a polished user interface.

Xiaomi has greatly improved screen flashing and visual disruption when opening or closing apps. It has also resolved gesture failure and abnormal display issues. The Camera app is updated with a modern visual design and streamlined menus and settings. Additionally, there are new watermark options with customizable positioning.

The HyperOS 2.2 update also brings the Xingchen Netcom feature, which enables voice communication without internet connectivity. Several changes have also been made to icons and wallpapers, including advanced blur functionality for desktop wallpapers, lens effects to lock screen wallpapers, and improved text visibility to desktop icons through shadow effects.

The update also enhances storage management, gesture prompt animations, and TalkBack for an improved user experience.

Jun 23, 2025

The upcoming Oppo Reno 14 Pro has just been spotted in a retail box leak, and it appears to confirm the smartphone’s Indian pricing. While Oppo hasn’t made anything official yet, the leaked packaging suggests that the Reno 14 Pro is an upper mid-range smartphone. So here’s what you need to know.

Oppo Reno 14 Pro: An expensive mid-range phone?

The latest leak arrives from known tipster Abhishek Yadav, who shared the information on X (formerly Twitter). Looking at the picture, we can see the Reno 14 Pro’s retail box, which lists the device with the CPH2739 model number and a 54,999 INR price tag. The box also reveals that the device measures 201 grams in weight and 7.6mm in terms of thickness.

The pricing on the retail box typically hints at its MRP (Maximum Retail Price), so Oppo might release the Reno 14 Pro for a more affordable price. But considering how its predecessor, the Reno 13 Pro, dropped with a 49,999 INR starting price tag for the 12GB + 256GB variant and 54,999 INR for the 12GB + 512GB variant, the Reno 14 Pro might be getting a price bump.

Based on what we know so far, the Reno 14 series is set to offer flagship grade durability with an IP66/68/69 rating despite the ultra slim design. The Reno 14 Pro is expected to sport a tall 6.83-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, it is equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 8450 SoC. Other notable features include a massive 6,200mAh battery pack, 80W wired fast charging, 50W wireless charging, 50MP triple camera setup, IR blaster, and more.

Jun 23, 2025

Samsung has officially announced the Exynos 2500 chipset, its latest flagship mobile processor. The chip is built on Samsung’s second-generation 3nm Gate-All-Around (GAA) process and is now listed on the company’s website with full specifications. It features a 10-core CPU, a new AMD-based Xclipse GPU, and major improvements in AI performance, camera processing, and power efficiency.

Samsung Exynos 2500 Specifications

The CPU uses a tri-cluster architecture based on Arm’s latest cores. It includes one Cortex-X925 core clocked at 3.3GHz, two Cortex-A725 cores at 2.74GHz, five Cortex-A725 cores at 2.36GHz, and two Cortex-A520 efficiency cores at 1.8GHz. Samsung claims a 15% improvement in CPU performance over the previous generation.

Samsung has equipped the Exynos 2500 with the new Xclipse 950 GPU, developed in collaboration with AMD. The GPU is based on the RDNA 3 architecture and features a dual-shader engine setup. Samsung says it improves ray tracing performance and boosts frame rates by up to 28% compared to the previous generation.

Samsung has improved power efficiency by refining the CPU cluster configuration and adopting fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP), which enhances heat dissipation while reducing chip thickness.

On the AI side, the Exynos 2500 includes a 24K MAC NPU with a 2-GNPU + 2-SNPU configuration and DSP support. Samsung says the NPU achieves up to 590 TOPS (trillion operations per second), marking a 39% increase over the Exynos 2400. The chip supports a wide range of on-device AI features, such as image generation, real-time translation, and text summarization, while keeping data processing secure and offline.

For photography, the Exynos 2500 supports up to 320MP single-camera sensors and dual 64MP + 32MP setups. It can record 8K video at 30fps and decode at 60fps. The upgraded image signal processor includes multi-layer and temporal-spatial noise reduction and dynamic range compression.

The chip supports LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage, along with 4K/WQUXGA displays at up to 120Hz. Connectivity includes a 5G modem with up to 12.1Gbps downlink on mmWave, support for non-terrestrial networks (NTN), Bluetooth 5.4, Wi-Fi 7, and full GNSS coverage.

The Exynos 2500 is now in mass production. Samsung has not yet officially confirmed which smartphone will feature the new chip, but it is expected to debut in the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 7.

If your Android device is on the list, it will likely receive the Android 16 update when the brand starts rolling it out. If it’s not there, I recommend waiting until the official list is released before considering a device upgrade.

Google Pixels are typically the first phones to get the newest Android OS, and Android 16 was no different. Other brands usually take a few weeks to fine-tune their custom skins (such as One UI, OxygenOS, Funtouch OS, and ColorOS) for the newest version of Android, and there’s also beta testing in play, which delays the release for non-Google brands. We’re expecting many brands to start rolling out the Android 16 update in July 2025.
