OnePlus is gearing up for its next Nord launch in India on July 8, and while the phone itself hasn’t been fully unveiled yet, the company is already drip-feeding specs.
The latest detail comes in the form of camera specs for the upcoming OnePlus Nord 5, and they’re slightly more ambitious than what you typically find in midrange devices.
OnePlus Nord 5 Camera Specs
The Nord 5 will feature a dual rear camera setup headlined by a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-700 sensor. It is the same lens found on the OnePlus 13s, paired with an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera that offers a 116-degree field of view.
OnePlus is also putting a 50-megapixel Samsung JN5 sensor on the front for selfies. Both the front and rear cameras will support 4K video recording at 60 frames per second.
There’s also a LivePhoto feature on board, which sounds like OnePlus’ take on Apple’s moving photo format, though the company hasn’t detailed how it works.
The rest of the hardware lines up with what’s been teased already. The Nord 5 will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip and feature LPDDR5X RAM. There’s also a 7,300mm² vapor chamber for thermal management—something OnePlus claims will help it deliver up to 144fps in supported games.
Other expected features include a 6.83-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a 5,200mAh battery with 80W SuperVOOC fast charging, and up to 512GB of internal storage. The phone may also ship with an IP65 rating for basic dust and water resistance.

The Tecno Pova 7 series finally made its official debut last week, as one of the brand’s most ambitious releases. With bold aesthetics, gamer-friendly LED lighting, massive batteries, and performance-first hardware, the series aims to deliver big value at a competitive price. Whether you’re after unique styling or an affordable gaming-ready device, the Pova 7 series makes a strong case in the mid-range segment. So here’s everything that makes these devices special.
Futuristic New Look
Each brand has its distinct smartphone design, with the best of the unique aesthetics being restricted to premium devices. While Tecno isn’t a company known for its ultra high end flagships, it has a large portfolio of affordable and mid-range models. A typical budget phone doesn’t offer much in terms of its design, but the Pova 7 series has a distinct futuristic look.
Tecno Pova 7 Ultra 5G
The Pova 7 Ultra 5G, Pova 7 Pro 5G, Pova 7 5G, Pova Curve 5G, and the base Pova 7 all come with the new “Interstellar Spaceship” design language. This also includes the triangular geometric emblems and an upgraded Mini-LED status light that can be customized for notification, gaming effects, and more.
Brand-New AI Tools & Smart Assistant
A suite of AI tools has basically become the standard for flagship phones, with the feature slowly trickling down to affordable models. But despite Tecno’s new Pova 7 series targeting different segments, you get access to the Tecno AI Anywhere and Ella Smart Assistant. AI Anywhere Portal acts as a central hub for tools like Ask Ella (Assistant), AI Call Full-Link Assistant for live translation, noise cancellation, and automated call summaries.
Tecno Pova 7
The AI Studio Tools also aid content creation, bringing tools like AIGC Portrait 2.0, AI Eraser, and AI Image Extender, that is perfect for content creation. Popular AI features like Circle to Search are making their way to these as well, allowing users to identify objects or places in real-time.
Massive Batteries
Tecno built these smartphones for gaming and endurance, with every model packing sizeable battery packs. The top-end Pova 7 Ultra houses a huge 6,000mAh cell that supports 70W wired fast charging, 30W wireless fast charging, and 10W reverse wireless charging.
Wireless charging tech is uncommon in this range, so having it on the Pova 7 Pro and base Pova 7 5G model is also a great feature at this price range. The 4G only Pova 7 takes battery to the next level with an even more massive 7,000mAh battery, with 45W wired fast charging support.
Built for Gaming
Since the brand positions these devices to appeal mobile gamers on a budget, it brings some features that help make the gameplay better. To offer a more immersive experience, the Pova 7 lineup supports Dolby Atmos on the dual stereo speaker setup along with 4G gaming vibration and responsive haptics as well.
Tecno Pova Curve 5G
Gaming puts an intense load on the smartphones, so Tecno introduced multi-layered cooling system to help reduce the temperature while gaming by up to 3°C under load to allow for longer play sessions without thermal throttling.

Samsung Electronics has unveiled a new gaming monitor called the Odyssey 3D (G90XF), offering an immersive gaming experience without the need for 3D glasses. As per the official listing, the monitor is already available on Amazon and is priced at Rs 1,27,000.
Glasses-free 3D with real-time eye tracking
Samsung Odyssey 3D gaming monitor
The key innovation behind the Odyssey 3D lies in its ability to deliver a glasses-free 3D experience. This is made possible through a combination of three technologies—eye tracking, view mapping, and a lenticular lens. A stereo camera placed on top of the 27-inch 4K display tracks the user’s eye movement and viewing distance in real time. The system then calculates the correct image projection for each eye, creating a stereoscopic effect.
This intelligent visual mapping ensures the depth and clarity of 3D visuals remain consistent even if the viewer moves. What makes it more accessible is that the 3D experience remains unaffected even for those wearing prescription glasses. The lenticular lens comes into action only when 3D mode is enabled via the Odyssey 3D Hub app, preserving high-quality visuals in standard 2D mode.
Designed for gamers with advanced features
The monitor supports a 165Hz refresh rate, 1ms (GTG) response time, AMD FreeSync Premium, G-Sync, HDR10+, and other gaming-centric tools like Virtual Aim Point and Black Equalizer. It also includes anti-glare coating and precision calibration to reduce visual overlap and distortion—a common issue in older 3D monitors.
Samsung’s Odyssey 3D not only opens up a new dimension in gaming but also underscores the company’s focus on smart, performance-driven display technology tailored for modern gamers.

India’s digital hardware market is showing a clear shift in momentum. According to Canalys’ Q1 2025 data, tablet shipments in the country fell sharply by 24% year-over-year to just 1 million units. In contrast, personal computer shipments (excluding tablets) climbed 13% to reach 3.3 million units, driven by strong demand for notebooks.
iPad Mini 7
Samsung Faces Decline, Apple Gains Ground
Samsung, long the top tablet vendor in India, experienced a steep 33.4% drop in shipments, falling from 464,000 units in Q1 2024 to 309,000 in Q1 2025. Its market share slipped from 34.4% to 29.8%. Acer suffered an even more severe 67.2% decline due to delays in government and education sector orders.
Apple, however, recorded significant growth. iPad shipments in India rose 26.8% year-over-year, increasing its market share from 9.5% to 15.8%. Lenovo also performed well with a 16.1% growth, followed by Xiaomi, which saw a 12.6% rise. These gains were likely fueled by strong consumer interest, improved retail presence, and targeted online marketing across metro and tier-two cities.
Notebook Segment Sees Strong AI-Driven Growth
Notebook shipments in India grew 21% year-over-year in Q1 2025, reaching 2.4 million units. AI-capable laptops saw 253% growth, albeit from a small base, while premium laptops priced above $1,000 surged 49%. The data suggests that both consumers and enterprises are now prioritizing higher performance and AI-readiness.
HP led the overall PC market with nearly 29% share. Lenovo followed closely, posting a 34.8% year-over-year growth in shipments. Apple also saw notable gains in the PC category, with Mac shipments rising 73%, helped by its expanding offline retail network and rising appeal among premium users.
Despite the ongoing weakness in the tablet segment, Canalys forecasts 6% growth for India’s overall PC market in 2025, with an even stronger rebound expected in 2026. AI adoption and rising demand from non-metro cities are expected to be key growth drivers.
As India’s hardware market continues to evolve, the divide between PCs and tablets is becoming more pronounced. PC makers are capitalizing on AI and premiumization, while tablet brands face mounting pressure to innovate or risk losing relevance in a fast-changing landscape.

Oppo is reportedly preparing to expand its K-series lineup with the introduction of two new models under a “Turbo” branding. According to a new leak, the upcoming Oppo K13 Turbo and K13 Turbo Pro are scheduled to launch in China this July.
Word for this comes from a reliable insider, Digital Chat Station, who claims both phones will feature a 6.8-inch LTPS flat display with a 1.5K resolution. They’ll also share the same camera hardware, with a 50MP + 2MP dual setup on the back, and a 16MP front-facing camera.
The real difference lies under the hood
The two models might differ in chipset and cooling approach. The standard Oppo K13 Turbo is expected to be powered by MediaTek’s new Dimensity 8450. Whereas, the higher-end K13 Turbo Pro will reportedly use the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, Qualcomm’s sub-flagship SoC.
The Pro variant is also tipped to include an active cooling fan to help sustain performance during gaming or heavy multitasking sessions.
As for aesthetics, both models will come in three colorways. The K13 Turbo is said to be available in Knight White, Black Warrior, and First Purple, while the Turbo Pro swaps white for Knight Silver, keeping the other two shades.
The phones are also expected to feature larger-than-average batteries, though exact capacities weren’t detailed in the leak.
A separate report has revealed more about the Turbo Pro, claiming that the cooling fan will be integrated directly into the camera module. An alleged hands-on image of the K13 Turbo in its Purple finish also recently surfaced online, showing off the phone’s design.
