The Nothing Phone (3) is shaping up to be the most future-proof smartphone from the brand yet. This is the brand’s first ever “true flagship” model in terms of specs and design, and it seems that software support won’t disappoint either. So here’s what we know.
Nothing Phone (3) to receive 5 major Android OS updates
A typical Android smartphone gets 2 major Android OS updates and 3 years of security patches. But flagship devices typically offer at least 4 years of Android updates and longer security patches. There are some brands like Samsung, Apple, and Google that take things even further, and Nothing might be trying to improve its own software support game as well.
Notthing Phone (3)
Akis Evangelidis, Nothing’s Co-founder, was responding to another X user over why the company decided to go with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 over the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. His explanation talked about how the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 has a better GPU, NPU, IPS, connectivity, and default software support. While the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 brings 4 years of Android updates and 4 years of security patches, the Nothing Phone (3) with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 will offer 5 years of Android upgrades and 7 years of security updates.
In comparison, its predecessor, the Nothing Phone (2), came with 3 years of Android updates. Akis tweets also adds that “Paired with all the optimisations we’ve made in Nothing OS, the result is next level. Super fast and smooooth”. Nothing is gearing up to launch the Phone (3) in the global market on 1st July 2025, so stick around for more.

The OnePlus 13 is an impressive flagship, packing cutting-edge hardware, a sleek design, and feature-rich software. However, as with any device, it’s not without its compromises — and it may not be the perfect fit for everyone. If you’re in the market for a high-end smartphone but want to explore beyond OnePlus, we’ve handpicked five standout alternatives that deliver powerful performance, premium features, and excellent value at a similar price point.
1. Google Pixel 9 Pro
The Pixel 9 Pro is a compact flagship phone from Google with excellent hardware. Unlike the OnePlus 13, it features the Pixel trademark horizontal camera bar on the rear side. The Pixel phone features a 6.3-inch OLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and 3000nits of peak brightness. It’s an LTPO panel for flexible refresh rate adjustments. It’s IP68 rated and features Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection on both sides.
At the heart is the in-house Tensor G4 processor, which smoothly runs everyday tasks but is significantly behind the Snapdragon 8 Elite that powers the OnePlus 13. The latter handles demanding tasks with better stability, heating, and consistent frame rates. In short, the Pixel 9 Pro delivers reliable performance, but if performance is your top priority, it’s best to explore other options.
The horizontal bar on the back features three camera sensors: a 50MP primary shooter with OIS, a 48MP OIS-enabled telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom, and a 48MP ultrawide camera with a 123˚ field of view. The front side features a 48MP selfie shooter, capable of recording up to 4K video, while the rear setup supports up to 8K recording. The Pixel device also offers a range of camera features, including the popular Add Me and Best Take.
Another plus point of having a Pixel 9 Pro is that it will get Android updates for a whopping seven years, while the OnePlus 13 only promises four OS updates. Google Pixels are also the first devices to get the latest OS update. Moreover, the smartphone houses a 4,700mAh battery and supports 27W wired, as well as 21W wireless charging (with Pixel Stand). It features all the necessary connectivity options, including Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.3, NFC, and multiple positioning systems.
This phone is approximately the same size as the OnePlus 13 but features a larger camera module with an additional camera sensor. It also has an LTPO AMOLED panel with 120Hz refresh rate and 4500nits peak brightness. The Gorilla Glass 7i ensures toughness to the screen, while the IP68/69 rating suggests it can withstand dust and water jets.
The Oppo Find X8 Pro (full review) is powered by MediaTek Dimensity 9400, which can smoothly run all your games and apps, even the high-end ones, though it’s slightly behind the Snapdragon 8 Elite powering the OnePlus 13. Both smartphones boot Android 15, but the Oppo phone promises an additional Android upgrade, five in total.
The giant camera module on the back houses four powerful sensors, including a 50MP primary sensor with OIS, two OIS-enabled 50MP periscope telephoto cameras (one with 3x optical zoom and another with 6x optical zoom), and a 50MP ultrawide camera with a 120˚ field of view. On the front, there’s a 32MP snapper for selfies. The device allows up to 4K video recording from both sides.
The Oppo Find X8 Pro packs a 5,910mAh battery with support for 80W wired charging. It also supports 50W wireless and 10W reverse wireless charging.
3. Vivo X200 Pro
Vivo X200 Pro (hands-on review) is another solid flagship smartphone and an excellent alternative to OnePlus 13. This phone has nearly the same-sized AMOLED screen with LTPO, 120Hz refresh rate, and 4500nits peak brightness. The IP68/IP69 rating ensures it’s protected against dust and water jets, and features armor glass on the front side for added protection.
The Vivo phone is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chip, which offers excellent performance, even with heavy usage. It boots Android 15 out of the box and promises four major Android updates.
The giant camera setup on the X200 Pro takes incredible photos and videos across various lighting conditions. The setup includes a 50MP primary shooter with OIS, a 200MP OIS-enabled periscope telephoto lens with a 3.7x optical zoom and advanced macro capabilities, and a 50MP ultrawide lens with a 123˚ field of view. The rear cameras can record up to 8K videos, while the 32MP selfie camera peaks at 4K.
The Vivo X200 Pro is available in two battery options: 6,000mAh (for the global market) and 5,200mAh (for Austria, Hungary, and Germany). It supports 90W fast wired charging, allowing for a quick battery refill. The device also supports 30W wireless charging and reverse wired charging.
4. Samsung Galaxy S25
If you are looking for a compact flagship phone at a price similar to OnePlus 13, the Galaxy S25 can be a good option. It features a 6.2-inch LTPO AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and 2600nits of peak brightness. For added protection, it has Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on both sides and an IP68 rating, ensuring protection against dust and water.
The Samsung phone is powered by a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, featuring a powerful CPU and GPU. It ensures smooth performance, even when you’re playing high-end games. Software is another plus point of this phone, as it promises seven years of Android updates.
In terms of optics, the Galaxy S25 features a triple rear camera setup, comprising a 50MP primary camera with OIS, a 10MP telephoto camera with OIS and 3x optical zoom, and a 12MP ultrawide camera with a 120˚ field of view. It can record up to 8K videos, while the selfie video using the 12MP camera is limited to 4K.
The smartphone comes with a 4,000mAh battery, which is somewhat disappointing in a flagship phone when other brands offer 6,000mAh batteries. The charging speed is also restricted to 25W, while the wireless charging can go up to 15W. It also brings 4.5W reverse wireless charging support to power up your accessories.
5. iQOO 13
It’s the most affordable option on the list, prioritizing performance over everything else. It rocks a Snapdragon 8 Elite, which is the best you can get on an Android device.
The iQOO 13 features a 6.82-inch LTPO AMOLED screen with 144Hz refresh rate and 4500nits peak brightness. It’s IP68/IP69 rated and features Schott Xensation Alpha protection on the front.
The device features a triple camera setup on the back, which includes a 50MP primary camera with OIS, a 50MP telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom, and a 50MP ultrawide camera. There’s a 32MP selfie shooter for selfies and video calls. The device allows up to 8K video recording from the rear cameras, while selfie videos are limited to 4K resolution.
Like other devices on the list, the iQOO 13 boots Android 15 out of the box, and it promises four generations of Android updates. To keep it running, there’s a 6,150mAh battery inside (6,000mAh for the Indian variant) with support for 120W fast wired charging.
Redmi has been steadily revealing new details about its upcoming compact tablet, the Redmi K Pad, following the official design teaser two days ago. In the latest round of updates shared on Weibo, the company highlighted the device’s audio capabilities and haptics specifications.
The K Pad features custom ultra-thin speakers built with a dual-coil design and a symmetrical layout. According to the company, this setup delivers balanced audio output with an external volume reaching up to 80.2dB, putting it on par with some Bluetooth speakers. Redmi also confirmed the presence of large dual X-axis linear motors that aim to provide strong and uniform haptic feedback, an unusual feature in compact tablets.
Redmi previously confirmed that the K Pad will be powered by MediaTek’s latest Dimensity 9400+ chipset, positioning it as a performance-focused tablet. The device is also said to support bypass charging, which reduces heat during extended gaming sessions.
Talking about other specs, the device features dual USB-C 3.0 ports and a dual-speaker setup. The battery capacity stands at 7,500mAh, and the tablet supports 67W fast charging. Redmi will offer the K Pad in three colors: Purple, Green, and Black.
On the display front, the K Pad sports an 8.8-inch IPS LCD panel with a 3K resolution of 2,880 x 1,800 pixels. It supports a 165Hz refresh rate and a 16:10 aspect ratio, catering to users who want smooth visuals for gaming and media consumption. Despite packing high-end internals, the tablet maintains a slim profile at just 6.4mm thick and weighs only 326 grams.
Redmi is expected to unveil the K Pad alongside the Redmi K80 Ultra later this month in China. While the K Pad targets the compact tablet category with premium features, the K80 Ultra is set to arrive with flagship-killer hardware.

After weeks of certifications and rumors, the Vivo X200 FE finally has an official global launch date. Vivo has confirmed that its upcoming compact phone will be making its debut next week, so here’s everything you need to know.
Vivo X200 FE Goes Global on June 23
The Chinese tech giant just shared an announcement on its official website. On the microsite, you can see the Vivo X200 FE is “coming soon” with the launch date set for 23rd June 2025. Its global release will kick off in Taiwan and will likely include other regions like India. This also confirms that the X200 FE’s release is arriving earlier than expected. The upcoming compact phone was expected to drop sometime in July, but these rumors have finally been put to rest.
Vivo X200 FE
To recall, the Vivo X200 FE is a rebranded version of the China exclusive Vivo S30 Pro Mini. Looking at the official teaser poster, the design of the global and Chinese variants is identical, but there is one notable aspect revealed in the launch date announcement. The Vivo X200 FE features the same camera system but with the addition of Zeiss camera tuning. Its image sensors are housed in an oval shaped camera module with a ring shaped Aura light.
Based on what we know so far, the Vivo X200 FE sports a 6.31-inch LTPO OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The rear has a 50MP Sony IMX921 primary sensor, a 50MP Sony IMX882 telephoto shooter with 3x optical zoom, and an 8MP ultra wide angle lens. But one of its most notable aspects is the massive 6,500mAh battery pack, which supports 90W wired fast charging.

Samsung’s Galaxy S26 may still be months away, but early buzz around its next-gen chip is already heating up. A fresh leak sheds light on the Exynos 2600 processor, which is expected to power most versions of the S26 series—and it paints a familiar picture of regional performance differences.
Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra mockup (modified image of S25 Ultra)
According to tipster @OreXda on X, the Exynos 2600—Samsung’s upcoming 2nm chipset—has now been properly benchmarked using updated production yield estimates. Earlier figures were based on a 10% yield, but with the more accurate 40% yield (in line with Samsung Foundry’s current 2nm output), the Exynos 2600 reportedly scores around 2,950 in single-core and 10,200 in multi-core performance on Geekbench 6. That’s a solid improvement—roughly 20% and 15% higher than the Exynos 2400 found in this year’s Galaxy S24.
But while the numbers are promising, they may still leave some users disappointed. Compared to Qualcomm’s current Snapdragon 8 Elite, which already scores higher in single-core (3,155) and comes close in multi-core (9,723), the Exynos 2600 appears to fall slightly behind. And that’s not even taking into account the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 of the S26 Ultra, which is rumored to reach over 4,000 in single-core and 11,000 in multi-core benchmarks.
What does that mean for Galaxy fans? Samsung is widely expected to fall back to its dual-chip strategy for the Galaxy S26 series—using Exynos 2600 in most global markets, while reserving the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 for the US, China, and possibly other select regions. The Galaxy S26 Ultra is reportedly sticking with Snapdragon globally, but the base S26 and S26+ (or S26 Edge) models could once again vary widely in performance, battery efficiency, and thermal stability depending on where you buy them.
It’s a déjà vu moment for long-time Samsung users, many of whom have criticized the company in the past for offering inconsistent performance across its flagship lineup. Unless Samsung pulls off something surprising in optimization, the Exynos-Snapdragon gap could once again be a deciding factor for buyers when the Galaxy S26 series launches in early 2026.
Huawei‘s first Mate XT was announced a while back with an innovative new tri-folding mechanism, which took foldable smartphones to the next level. But there were some questions regarding its overall durability, owing to its unique design. Now, a fresh leak hints that the next-gen Mate XT 2 model could be getting a huge upgrade in this aspect, thanks to an advanced glass technology.
Huawei Mate XT 2 gets stronger than ever before
The latest information arrives from a Weibo tipster, Fixed Focus Digital. In the post, the tipster claims that the Huawei Mate XT 2 could be getting the same advanced UFG (ultra-flexible glass) technology, which is used on the Samsung W25. To recall, the W25 is a premium variant of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 that is exclusive to the Chinese market.
Huawei Mate XT
Simply put, this is a better protective display cover than the UTG (ultra-thin glass) covers that are found in most other foldable smartphones. For those unaware, the South Korean tech giant gets its UFG panels from the known glass specialist, Schott. So the latest rumor also hints that the German company is getting a new competitor from China (Via Notebookcheck).
Earlier this month, we also covered another report regarding the Mate XT 2 tri-folding phone, which claimed that it would be making its China debut alongside the Mate X7 in the second half of 2025. While finer details are still at large, Huawei could pack the Mate XT 2 with the Kirin 9020 SoC that also powers the Huawei Pura 80 lineup.

The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is expected to debut with satellite-based emergency messaging, thanks to the inclusion of necessary hardware in Samsung’s latest Exynos 2500 chip.
The Exynos 2500, Samsung’s first chipset built on a 3nm process, was recently certified by Skylo Technologies for its satellite connectivity. Skylo, which specializes in satellite-to-phone communications, announced the certification on June 16. The chip includes Samsung’s Exynos 5400 5G modem, which supports the 3GPP NTN standard—essentially allowing phones to send SOS messages via low-earth orbit satellites when there’s no cellular signal.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 Leaked Render
It’s a feature Skylo says already saves lives, with emergency messages sent almost daily across 37 countries, including Iceland. Samsung’s modem VP, Hui Won Je, said the collaboration with Skylo helps “unlock connectivity everywhere,” hinting that this may become a standard feature across more devices in the future.
The Galaxy Z Flip 7, expected to launch at Samsung’s Unpacked event in July, will be the first Galaxy foldable to include this satellite functionality outside the US. It’s also a rare case where Samsung may use its own Exynos chip in a Z-series phone, as most previous models used Snapdragon processors exclusively.
Still, satellite messaging won’t be available everywhere. Rollout will depend on regional support and carrier agreements, much like the limited launch of satellite SOS on the Galaxy S25, where only Verizon customers in the US could access it. According to a report from Analysys Mason, Skylo’s use of pre-approved frequency bands allows quicker deployment, but business decisions may still limit who gets the feature.
Beyond connectivity, the Exynos 2500 is expected to deliver better energy efficiency and performance than the Exynos 2400—something that could help improve battery life in the Flip 7’s compact body.
Xiaomi is gearing up to launch the Mix Flip 2, its next-generation clamshell-style foldable phone. This is a flagship grade flip phone, and the latest teaser has just confirmed its launch timeline. It is expected to bring upgrades in camera tech, a new chipset, and much more. So here’s what we know, and why this might be a great competitor to the Galaxy Z Flip 7.
Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 launch is right around the corner
The Chinese tech giant has just released a new teaser that states “See You This Month”, which confirms the Mix Flip 2’s June 2025 release timeline. This is in line with our previous report based on leaks from known Chinese tipsters. Xiaomi’s image poster also reveals that the next-gen flagship flip phone will debut with Leica branded lenses for its rear camera system.
Xiaomi Mix Flip 2
The Mix Flip 2 likely runs on the Android 15 OS based HyperOS 2 custom skin out of the box. Based on what we know so far, the flip phone will sport a tall 6.85-inch foldable OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, it is expected to be equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC. A 3C certification confirms that it packs a large 5,100mAh battery pack, which supports 67W wired fast charging and 50W wireless fast charging.
For photography, the rear may have a 50MP main camera along with a 50MP ultra wide angle lens. We can also expect an IPX8 rating for water resistance. With Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 7 set to debut soon, the Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 will likely compete with the South Korean brand’s new flagship flip phone.

Realme P3 Ultra packs a 6,000mAh battery with 80W fast charging, while iQOO Neo 10R leads with a massive 6,400mAh cell and 80W charging. All three phones also support bypass charging, which helps reduce heat during intensive gaming sessions.
In short, iQOO leads with battery size and charging speed, but Infinix strikes a unique balance with wireless charging and high-speed memory at a more affordable price. Realme offers solid middle-ground performance with large battery and premium RAM, making all three competitive depending on what you prioritize.
3. Cameras
The Infinix GT 30 Pro features a 108-megapixel main camera with an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, offering high resolution for detailed shots. Realme and iQOO, on the other hand, opt for 50-megapixel main sensors with ultra-wide support — possibly offering better tuning but lower resolution. For selfies, iQOO leads with a 32-megapixel front camera, while Realme offers 16 megapixels and Infinix comes with 13 megapixels. So, if front camera quality is a priority, iQOO might have the edge.
4. Design
When it comes to design, Infinix leans into gaming aesthetics with its Cyber Mecha 2.0 back panel, LED lighting, and physical gaming triggers — a clear appeal to mobile gamers. Realme takes a more stylish approach with a glow-in-the-dark back, while iQOO keeps it subtle with a textured dual-tone design.
5. Final thoughts
While each phone has its own strengths, the Infinix GT 30 Pro 5G offers the best balance of features and pricing. It’s especially suitable for gamers and users looking for a high-refresh-rate display, gaming-friendly design, and strong performance at a lower price point.
The Realme P3 Ultra offers a stylish design and curved display, while the iQOO Neo 10R delivers maximum performance, especially for power users. Ultimately, your choice should depend on whether you prioritize aesthetics, performance, or gaming-focused features
Pricing and value
In terms of pricing, the Infinix GT 30 Pro 5G starts at Rs 24,999 for the 8GB + 256GB variant and Rs 26,999 for 12GB + 256GB. That’s great value considering the specs.
Realme starts at Rs 26,999 for 8GB + 128GB, going up to Rs 29,999 for 12GB + 256GB. iQOO Neo 10R is priced from Rs 26,999 to Rs 30,999 depending on the configuration. Infinix offers more RAM and storage at a lower price, making it appealing to cost-conscious buyers.

The Vivo X Fold 5 packs a massive 6,000mAh battery—the largest ever in a foldable phone—while still being lighter and slimmer than its predecessor. According to Boxiao, the thickness of the battery is less than a Chinese one-yuan coin. He claimed that this was made possible by introducing a fourth-generation silicon negative electrode battery with 12 percent silicon content, about 2.5 times higher than the previous generation. The result is a 13 percent increase in energy density.

Under the hood, it runs on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor paired with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. For photography, the phone has a Zeiss-branded triple camera setup including a 50-megapixel IMX921 main sensor, 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 50-megapixel IMX882 telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom.

Honor has officially confirmed the launch date for its next foldable phone. According to an announcement on its Weibo account, the company will unveil the Honor Magic V5 at a launch event scheduled for CST 19:00 on July 2. The event will also introduce new developments in Honor’s AI terminal ecosystem, though no further details have been shared on that front.
Ahead of the event, most of the Magic V5’s key hardware specs have already surfaced through leaks.

Despite its slim form factor, the foldable is still expected to have a flagship camera setup. It could come with a 50-megapixel main camera with OIS support, an ultra-wide lens, and a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera.
The Magic V5 will ship with a new silicon-based battery offering a capacity of between 5950mAh and 6100mAh. This is an upgrade over last year’s Magic V3, which comes with a 5150mAh cell. It will support 66W charging, as confirmed by 3C certification.
