For the past few days, Vivo has been teasing the key features of the Vivo X Fold 5 before its launch in China. While it has revealed several details, it is yet to confirm the chipset that will power the device. In a new development, a new Vivo phone with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip has appeared on Geekbench. It is speculated that this device could be the upcoming Vivo X Fold 5.

The alleged Vivo X Fold 5 bearing the model number V2436A has emerged in Geekbench’s database. The CPU and GPU (via source code) details confirm that the device is equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. The same chip powered the China-exclusive Vivo X Fold 3, which debuted last year.
While competing models such as the Oppo Find N5 and the upcoming Honor Magic V5 pack the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, Vivo has decided to use the older Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip to power the X Fold 5, probably to make it available at a more affordable price.
The Geekbench listing has further revealed that the Vivo X Fold 5 is equipped with 16GB RAM and Android 15. In the single-core and multi-core tests, the device achieved 2,270 and 6,913 points, respectively.
Vivo X Fold 5 launch date
Set to launch on June 25 in China, the Vivo X Fold 5 is confirmed to feature a massive 6,000mAh battery and still measure only 4.3mm in the unfolded state. It will arrive in three shades: Pine Green, White, and Titanium. It will be an IP59+ device and will be durable enough to function normally at minus 20 degrees Celsius.
For photography, the device will feature a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera that will support long-range zoom and telephoto macro shots. Vivo claims the X Fold 5 is the first Android phone to connect seamlessly with Apple Watch, AirPods, iPhone calls, messages, and iCloud services. It also supports multi-device file transfer and productivity workflows with Mac, creating a highly connected environment for hybrid users.

Samsung has yet to unveil its 7th-generation foldables, but the Galaxy S26 series—expected to launch in January next year—has already entered the rumor mill. This time, it’s about software.
After a delay with One UI 7, Samsung reportedly skipped One UI 7.1 for its upcoming foldables and jumped straight to One UI 8, which was originally expected to be a major part of January’s Unpacked event. With leaks suggesting minimal hardware changes for the S26 lineup, Samsung appears to be shifting its focus to software, once again.

Galaxy S26 expected to launch with One UI 8.5, not One UI 8
Whispers of One UI 8.5, the software set to power these 2026 flagships, suggest Samsung is cooking up something big. With development reportedly underway, could this mid-cycle update steal the spotlight from rivals like Apple’s iOS 26?
Samsung has quietly started firmware development for One UI 8.5, according to two trusted tipsters cited by SamMobile. Built on Android 16, One UI 8.5 follows One UI 8.0 and marks a return to Samsung’s older tradition of significant mid-cycle updates, like the x.5 versions seen up to One UI 2. Unlike recent years, where One UI 6.1 and 7.0 skipped major mid-cycle releases in favor of minor x.1.1 iterations, One UI 8.5 reportedly promises to be a substantial leap. Its existence was even hinted at in a hidden menu within One UI 7, fueling speculation.
While details on features remain under wraps, One UI 8.5 is expected to bring a polished user experience, potentially rivaling Apple’s design-heavy iOS 26. One UI 8.5 is said to be positioned as a “gap filler” to keep Galaxy devices competitive until the next major OS cycle. The update may also roll out to older devices, with the Galaxy S25 series likely getting the full suite of new features, while select enhancements could reach the S24, S23, and even S22 series.
Samsung’s early work on One UI 8.5 signals bold ambitions for the Galaxy S26 series, aiming to outshine competitors with a robust software experience. As Apple pushes iOS 26, will Samsung’s mid-cycle update give Galaxy users the edge in 2026? We’re eager to see what’s next.

OnePlus to debut its in-house imaging brand with OnePlus 15
As per the leak, the OnePlus 15 is rumored to be the company’s first smartphone to carry a self-branded imaging solution. This move mirrors the strategy of rival brands that have formed long-term partnerships or developed their own camera divisions to improve photo and video performance.

The rear camera setup is expected to include three 50-megapixel cameras, consisting of a main camera, an ultra-wide lens, and a 3x periscope telephoto unit. This new shift suggests that OnePlus may finally ditch its long-standing Hasselblad partnership.
Apart from the imaging upgrade, the OnePlus 15 will feature 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.

MediaTek’s upcoming flagship chipset, believed to be the Dimensity 9500, has made its first appearance on Geekbench under the model number MT6993. The benchmark listing, spotted by a trusted Chinese tech blogger, Digital Chat Station, has revealed the configuration of the new chipset.
Dimensity 9500: Major CPU upgrade confirmed through Geekbench
Dimenisty 9500 Geekbench listing
The Dimensity 9500’s Geekbench listing reveals that it has one ultra-core clocked at 3.23GHz (Travis), three performance cores at 3.03GHz (Alto), and four efficiency cores at 2.23GHz (Gelas). According to DCS, the D9500 will be the first chipset to introduce a full-core CPU layout based on the new X930 ultra-core architecture. For graphics, the chipset includes Mali-G1 Ultra MC12 GPU.
Travis and Alto are said to be based on Arm’s new Cortex-X9 architecture with SME support, while Gelas is said to come from the next-gen A7 core family. This marks a shift away from the Cortex-X4 used in the Dimensity 9400. The chip is built on TSMC’s N3P 3nm process, aiming for a balance of raw power and power efficiency.
The GPU section reveals a new Immortalis-Drage architecture with improved ray tracing and efficiency, though the current GPU clock is capped at 1MHz, limiting its early benchmark score to 15,717. MediaTek is expected to finalize GPU performance next month. Reports have claimed that the new chip is powerful enough to breach 4 million mark on AnTuTu benchmarks.
Dimensity 9500 (AI-generated image)
According to reports, the Dimensity 9500 also supports up to 4x LPDDR5x RAM at 10,667Mbps and UFS 4.1 storage with a 4-lane interface. It packs 16MB of L3 cache and 10MB of system-level cache for improved multitasking and data throughput.
Dimensity 9500 is expected to be officially announced in September, with the Vivo X300 series and Oppo Find X9 series likely among the first smartphones to ship with the new chip.

Vivo’s upcoming X200 FE smartphone might launch earlier than expected. While an earlier report hints at a July debut for the phone, a new leak from tipster Paras Guglani suggests the global launch is now scheduled for June 30.
Guglani has backed his claim with photos of what appears to be the phone’s retail packaging, alongside live images showing the device in four different color options: Black, Blue, Yellow, and Pink.
As you can see, the colors, along with the overall design of the handset, are identical to the Vivo S30 Pro mini from China. Therefore, it’s likely that the X200 FE is essentially a rebranded version of that phone, possibly with minimal regional changes.
Vivo X200 FE Specifications (Expected)
If the internal specifications remain unchanged, the Vivo X200 FE is expected to feature a 120Hz AMOLED display with 10-bit color depth and a peak brightness of up to 5,000 nits. A 50MP front camera is situated in a centered punch-hole cutout.
The rear camera setup may include a 50MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultrawide, and a 50MP periscope telephoto camera with a 70mm focal length and 3x optical zoom. Both the main and telephoto lenses are expected to support optical image stabilization (OIS).

One of the more notable aspects is the battery. Vivo is using a 6,500mAh silicon-carbon battery in the S30 Pro Mini, and it’s likely the X200 FE will follow suit. That battery supports 90W wired charging and also works with USB PD protocols.
Additional features may include stereo speakers, an under-display fingerprint sensor, and an IP68/IP69 rating for water and dust resistance.
The X200 FE is tipped to launch in India with a price tag of ₹54,999, but launch-day discounts could bring that down to ₹49,999. Vivo has yet to officially confirm any details.

Verdict
Tecno Pova Curve 5G
The Tecno Pova Curve 5G presents an attractive package in the budget segment, combining a premium curved AMOLED display with a sleek, lightweight design, dependable performance, and many AI-powered features. Priced competitively at Rs 15,999, it stands as a worthy alternative to devices like the Realme P3 Pro and Poco X7, though potential buyers should note its limitations, particularly the promise of just one major OS update and the absence of an ultra-wide camera.
The phone shines with its 144Hz refresh rate display, IP64-rated build quality, impressive battery life with 45W fast charging, and capable daylight photography. While these features make it an excellent choice for users who value aesthetics and display quality, those prioritizing long-term software support or more versatile camera capabilities might find better options in alternatives such as the CMF Phone 2 Pro or Infinix Note 50s 5G.
Ultimately, the Pova Curve 5G strikes a fine balance between style and substance, making it particularly appealing for buyers who want a premium-looking device without stretching their budget.
The Pova Curve 5G variants, such as 6GB+128GB and 8GB+128GB are priced at Rs 15,999 and Rs 16,999, respectively. The 6GB variant is available via Flipkart in India, whereas the 8GB edition is only sold offline.

I’ve used plenty of portable monitors over the years: clunky clip-ons, rigid folding screens, and some clever magnetic options. Most of them are fine in a pinch, but rarely do they feel like a seamless extension of your laptop. That changed a few months ago when I got my hands on an early engineering unit of the FlipGo Horizon from Jsaux.
I had tested the company’s earlier FlipGo model, which was already pretty solid. But the Horizon brings a fresh take. Instead of strapping screens precariously onto your laptop lid, it gives you a full modular stand-based system that is flexible, protective, and very portable. Think of it as building a complete workstation out of thin air, and then packing it into your backpack when you’re done.
Now that the Kickstarter campaign is live and I’ve spent weeks testing the Horizon setup at home and the office, it’s time to talk about how it holds up in real-world use.
What’s in the Box
FlipGo Horizon comes with a well-thought-out kit that gives you everything you need to set up a multi-screen workspace right away. Here’s what you get:
2 × 15.6-inch Snap Screens
1 × Snap Stand
2 × USB-C 3.2 cables
1 × HDMI to mini HDMI video cable
1 × 65W power adapter
1 × Carrying case
1 × Tactical backpack (Retail version)
1 × Snap Stand Pro (Pro version only)
1 × SnapMag Module (Pro version only)
Design & Build Quality
The FlipGo Horizon immediately feels more polished than most portable screen setups I’ve tried. Out of the box, the engineering sample I received included two 15.6-inch Snap Screens, a basic Snap Stand, USB-C cables, and an assortment of accessories. Even though this was not a final retail unit, the materials and finish already looked solid. The Snap Screens are 357mm wide and just 12mm thick, sleek, but not fragile. Each weighs around 820 grams, which is totally manageable for travel.
The patented Snap-Lock system is key to the Horizon’s design. Each Snap Screen connects magnetically to the Snap Stand, letting you switch between portrait and landscape modes quickly. The precision alignment magnets and locking clips work as promised. I was impressed by how smoothly the screens aligned with the stand and each other. You just adjust the magnetic arms based on your laptop size and snap the screens on.
But perhaps the best design change versus older FlipGo models and competing clip-on displays is the stand itself. The Snap Stand takes all the weight off your laptop hinge. This matters — a lot. I’ve seen countless posts of broken hinges on laptops used with clamp-style dual-screen accessories. Here, your laptop sits on the stand’s metal base, and the screens rest on their own supports. This approach protects your device and ensures better stability.
The stand folds down to a very portable form, so the entire system still fits in a backpack (FlipGo even bundles a tactical backpack with the kit). My only small quibble is that the metal base can sometimes feel slippery on certain surfaces unless you’re careful. But overall, the hardware quality here punches above its price.
Connectivity and Setup
The promise of a “one cable, plug and play” experience is mostly true, depending on your device. I used the FlipGo Horizon exclusively with my Asus TUF Gaming F15 for this review. I did not test it with a MacBook, though the company highlights specific limitations with base M1 and M2 Macs.
Setup on the Asus TUF Gaming F15 was simple. I connected a USB-C cable, adjusted the display arrangement in Windows, and the screens were detected immediately. Portrait rotation settings are applied without any need for driver installs.
It is worth noting that base M1 and M2 Macs can only support one external display natively. This is a limitation of Apple’s hardware, not FlipGo’s. On these devices, FlipGo Horizon allows only one Snap Screen to work unless additional workarounds like DisplayLink docks or adapters are used.
The Snap Stand Pro aims to address this by adding an internal hub with USB-C expansion, reverse power, Ethernet, and more. It also enables both Snap Screens to function on port-limited laptops. My review unit did not include the Snap Stand Pro, so I could not test this setup, but the company’s demo suggests it works well and reduces cable clutter.
It helps that FlipGo provides a clear compatibility matrix so users know exactly what to expect.
Features
The Horizon system is more than just a triple display kit. The magnetic flexibility and multiple modes really set it apart.
You can configure it in Horizon Mode for a classic side-by-side tri-screen setup, great for video editing or large spreadsheets. Stack Mode lets you create a vertical stack, ideal for coding, writing, or research workflows. Solo Mode enables quick expansion with just one Snap Screen. I mostly used this display in Solo Mode, as I am a desktop user, so it served as a secondary display like a charm.
The Snap-Lock mechanism makes these mode switches intuitive. I loved how easily the screens could be popped off, rotated, or repositioned, with no fiddly screws or brackets required. Even without the magnetic accessories that would enhance this modularity further, I found the system impressively flexible.
Another clever addition is MagSafe ecosystem support. The SnapMag Module (which I also didn’t receive yet in my early kit) allows iPhones, lights, or other MagSafe-compatible accessories to mount directly on the stand. This kind of thoughtful integration is exactly what you want in a modern modular workspace.
Display and Performance
The FlipGo Horizon’s screens are surprisingly good. Each Snap Screen features a 15.6-inch IPS LCD panel with a crisp 1920×1080 resolution, full 100% sRGB color coverage, and brightness up to 300 nits. While this won’t rival the rich contrast of OLED panels, these are some of the best LCD displays I’ve used in a portable setup.
I was immediately impressed by the viewing angles. Even with bright studio lights overhead, the screens remained clear and easy to read. Glare was handled very well, which isn’t always the case with portable monitors. Whether I was editing photos or just running multiple browser windows side by side, the displays held up beautifully.
I used the FlipGo Horizon across a typical week of work. I did a lot of writing and article reading, often with a browser open on one screen, a text editor on another, and Discord or email on the third. The screens were great for this kind of multitasking.
I also spent time editing images in Lightroom, and while an OLED panel would naturally offer better contrast, I found the color accuracy here more than good enough for casual to semi-professional editing. Colors were punchy without being oversaturated. Watching sports on one screen while working on the others was also smooth, with no lag or weird artifacts. The system runs at 60Hz, which is fine for productivity and general media use. You can also play games from handheld consoles.
Each display includes a small control switch on the side. You can easily adjust brightness, contrast, sharpness, black level, and color temperature on the fly. I tweaked mine slightly for photo editing and then bumped up the brightness for a few daylight work sessions. The controls feel responsive and intuitive, making it easy to get the screens looking exactly the way you want.
Although in most parts the setup works fine, you do need to be a bit mindful when detaching the Snap Screens. Occasionally, it takes a little pressure to pull them away from the magnetic Snap-Lock system, and if you’re not careful, a screen could slip and fall, especially when using Stack mode, where the vertical arrangement adds a bit more risk during teardown.
I also found that setting up Stack mode can be a bit more tiresome if you’re working in a shared space or trying to configure everything at a cafe or coworking desk. And one thing to keep in mind: these are large 15.6-inch displays, so they do eat up a fair bit of desk space when fully deployed. It’s worth making sure your work surface is clean and uncluttered before setting up a full triple-screen layout.
Accessories
Since I had an engineering unit, my package didn’t include the Snap Stand Pro or SnapMag Module, both of which add significant functionality.
Based on the official specs and videos, Snap Stand Pro consolidates power delivery, storage expansion, Ethernet, and dual-screen connectivity into a single USB-C cable. That’s a game-changer for port-limited laptops and would eliminate a lot of cable clutter. I am particularly keen to try this version once it’s available.
The SnapMag Module, meanwhile, adds mounting versatility for phones, fill lights, or action cameras. In theory, this would help turn the FlipGo Horizon into a more complete content creation or streaming rig. Again, not something I could test directly, but the potential is obvious.
Even with just the basic Snap Stand, the system worked very well. The folding design is clever, making setup and teardown fast. And the included carrying case is a nice touch for travel.
One thing to note: because the Snap Screens rest on the stand rather than clamping to your laptop, you do need to be careful in busy environments. If someone bumps your table or if a child tugs at a screen, it could be knocked over. This is a tradeoff for avoiding hinge stress, but it’s worth keeping in mind.
FlipGo also offers a range of add-ons that you can pick up separately. There’s a 90° USB-C right-angle adapter (useful for cleaner cable routing), a Snap Stand Pro upgrade if you start with the Standard kit, a SnapMag Module, and even a 20,000mAh 65W PD power bank that pairs well with the system for on-the-go setups. If you want a fully modular mobile workstation, these accessories give you plenty of options to expand.
Final Thoughts
After using the FlipGo Horizon for several weeks in real-world scenarios, I came away impressed. It solves many of the pain points that plague other portable display solutions. The modular design, Snap-Lock system, and stand-based approach make it safer for your laptop, more versatile in layout, and genuinely enjoyable to use.
Yes, the system has some limitations. If you’re using a base M1 or M2 Mac, or a laptop that only supports one external display, you’ll need to plan accordingly, or opt for the Snap Stand Pro to unlock full tri-screen capability. And the freestanding design, while excellent for hinge protection, does mean occasional care is needed in dynamic work environments.
But these are minor tradeoffs when weighed against the flexibility and quality the FlipGo Horizon delivers. For mobile professionals, creatives, and hybrid workers, this system unlocks a level of productivity that a single laptop screen just can’t match.
I’m excited to see how the final retail version performs with the full suite of accessories. Based on what I’ve experienced so far, FlipGo Horizon feels like a thoughtful evolution of the portable workspace, one that fits right into the growing trend of modular, adaptable tech.
If your workflow demands real multi-screen capability on the go, this is absolutely worth a look.
Pricing and Availability
The FlipGo Horizon is available through Kickstarter, with several pricing tiers depending on the version you choose. The Standard version is priced at $359 for Super Early Bird backers (MSRP $459), while the Pro version with Snap Stand Pro starts at $399 (MSRP $499). There are also Early Bird deals that slightly raise the price as the initial stock sells out.
In addition, you can purchase useful add-ons like the Snap Stand Pro separately for $79.99, the SnapMag Module for $15.99, and a 90° USB-C right-angle adapter for $6.99. Shipping is set to begin after the campaign wraps, though as with all crowdfunded products, final delivery dates can vary.
