MediaTek appears to be racing ahead of Qualcomm this year as well for the next gen flagship processors. The upcoming Dimensity 9500 SoC could launch before the anticipated Snapdragon 8 Elite 2. The new chipset likely offers improvements in performance, AI processing, and much more. So here’s what we know.
Next-Gen Dimensity 9500 May Arrive Before Snapdragon 8 Elite 2
Last year, both the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 and Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite debuted in the market in the month of October. But the Dimensity processor arrived a couple of days ahead of the Snapdragon competitor. A fresh leak now hints that the new Dimensity 9500 will continue to hold this announcement lead. Qualcomm has already confirmed the 23rd September 2025 event date for the Snapdragon Summit. During this conference, the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 is expected to make its global debut.
MediaTek Dimensity 9500
While an official launch date for the Dimensity 9500 is still unknown, known tipster, Digital Chat Station, claims that it will arrive before the Snapdragon processor. So, it might drop earlier in September 2025. With these chips being unveiled, the next round of flagship Android smartphones are expected to hit the market as well, bringing cutting edge specs and performance.
To recall, the Oppo Find X8 and Vivo X200 series featured the Dimensity 9400, so we can expect the Find X9 and X300 lineup to pack the Dimensity 9500. Similarly, the Galaxy S25 series, OnePlus 13, and others came with the Snapdragon 8 Elite, and should bring the newer Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 to their successors. Keep in mind that this is still just an unconfirmed report, so take this news with a pinch of salt for now.

Huawei is set to launch its flagship Pura 80 series on June 11 and has been teasing it as a camera powerhouse. Now prolific leaker Digital Char Station has revealed some more interesting information about the Pro and Pro+ models’ build and design.
Alleged Huawei Pura 80 Ultra in the hands of a company executive
According to DCS, the Pura 80 Pro+ will feature a slightly curved display paired with a curved metal middle frame. This design should offer a more comfortable grip compared to rivals that use a completely flat display and frame.
The display includes a single punch-hole selfie camera smack in the center, which might mean Huawei’s ditching its fancy 3D facial recognition tech for another year. The Pura 80 Pro could sport a similar vibe, though only the Ultra’s rumored to get a slick tandem OLED panel.
Now, the cameras? They’re stealing the show. Tipster Digital Chat Station says both the Pro and Pro+ might rock Huawei’s new 1-inch 50MP main sensor, paired with a 24mm variable aperture lens—a step up from the 25mm in the Pura 70 Pro+. Plus, there’s talk of a periscope zoom lens, now at 89mm instead of 93mm.
Interestingly, it’s said to be equivalent to 3.7x optical zoom compared to the 3.5x in the Pura 70 Pro and Pura 70 Pro+. The brand has already hinted at a 2x (48mm) and 3.7x (89mm) telephoto setup, and is rumored to equip the series with a 50MP 1/1.28-inch sensor.
Nothing is set to launch its flagship Phone (3) next month. So far, the company has revealed only snippets of the device through a series of teasers. But today, we’re getting our first clear look at the Phone (3), thanks to a leak from tipster Max Jambor.
Spoiler: the Glyph interface is gone
The leaked image shared by Jambor shows the rear of the Phone (3), and it’s a pretty significant departure from the aesthetics of its predecessors.
As previously confirmed by Nothing, the Phone (3) no longer features the signature Glyph LED lights. Instead, Nothing is reportedly opting for a dot matrix display on the back. That’s not visible in this image, though.
We are also curious about how this new interface will actually work and whether it’ll be as interactive as the Glyph system tried to be.
A bigger change on the Phone (3) is the new camera layout. It’s not just different, it’s divisive. The three rear sensors are layered over a new back design that’s sure to turn heads.
The overall design still keeps Nothing’s signature transparent aesthetic, complete with exposed screws, but the vibe here is less sci-fi, more industrial.
Other notable design details include squared-off edges and black-accented buttons on this white variant.
There’s still a lot we don’t know about the Phone (3). If the leaks are true, Nothing Phone (3) will be a flagship offering with Snapdragon 8 Elite under the hood.
It might come with a 6.77-inch LTPO AMOLED display and a camera setup headlined by a 50MP main sensor. The Phone (3) could also be the first Nothing phone to launch with Android 16 out of the box.
Reliable tipster Digital Chat Station has been consistently leaking details about Oppo’s next flagship series, the Find X9 lineup. According to his Weibo posts, Oppo is currently testing a range of premium features that are expected to be standard across the entire Find X9 family, which includes the X9, X9+, X9 Pro, and possibly the X9 Ultra.
Oppo Find X9 series key details tipped
The tipster revealed that the Find X9 series is likely to offer ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensors for improved biometric accuracy, replacing the short-focus fingerprint solution seen on previous models. All models are said to support wireless charging and are being tested with IP68/69 dust and water resistance levels. Additionally, the entire series is also being tested with a periscope telephoto camera.
While the Find X9, X9+, and X9 Pro are likely to be powered by the Dimensity 9500 chipset built on TSMC’s 3nm N3P process, the Ultra model is tipped to use the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 processor. As per a new leak by DCS, the new Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 and Dimensity 9500-powered flagship phones will debut by the end of September in China. Hence, it appears that the X9, X9+, and X9 Pro will break cover in September, while the X9 Ultra may debut in Q1 2026.
Reports have revealed that the Find X9 Pro may feature a large 200-megapixel periscope telephoto lens instead of the dual periscope cameras seen on the Find X8 Pro. This could significantly enhance zoom and macro photography. The X9 is expected to arrive as a compact flagship phone equipped with a flat 6.3-inch display. The X9+, X9 Pro, and X9 Ultra are expected to feature 6.59-inch, 6.78-inch, and 6.82-inch flat displays, respectively.

When it comes to durability, the device is said to offer IPX8-rated water resistance. With a folded thickness of just 7.6mm and a weight of around 190 grams, it’s set to be thinner and lighter than the first-generation MIX Flip.

A key highlight of the MIX Flip series has always been its functional cover display. Xiaomi appears to be retaining the large, 4-inch cover screen and optimizing it further with HyperOS 2. The outer screen is reportedly being redesigned with a dedicated section for running apps seamlessly, while the rest of the screen remains available for extra content.
For photography, the Mix Flip 2 is expected to feature a 50-megapixel main camera with OIS support and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide snapper. The device is also expected to come with other features like an IR blaster, NFC, and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor.
Xiaomi is expected to hold a major launch event later this month to unveil not just the Mix Flip 2, but also Redmi’s compact gaming tablet and K80 Ultra flagship phone.

Last year, Huawei surprised the tech world by launching the Mate XT as the world’s first triple foldable smartphone. There have been reports that the brand could be working on a successor edition of the device for this year. A new leak by tipster Super Dimension reveals that Huawei’s second-generation triple foldable device will launch this year.
There have been some reports that Huawei’s next triple foldable could be called the Huawei Mate XTs. Debunking these rumors, the tipster claims that the second-generation device will be called the Huawei Mate XT 2 Extraordinary Master. In the global market, this device is likely to be dubbed the Huawei Mate XT 2 Ultimate Design.
As can be seen in the Weibo post, the tipster claims that the Huawei Mate XT 2 (triple foldable) and Mate X7 (book-style foldable) will debut in the second half of this year. He added that these devices will arrive with new chipsets, cameras, and batteries. Next year, Huawei will launch foldable tablets.

Huawei Mate XT
According to reports, the Huawei Mate XT 2 will continue to feature a 10.2-inch triple foldable screen like the previous generation. It is likely to feature Huawei’s in-house developed “Tian Gong” hinge mechanism, offering a slimmer yet durable construction.
Under the hood, the Mate XT 2 may feature the Kirin 9020hh chipset, which uses a 1+3+4 CPU setup consisting of a 2.5GHz prime Taishan core, three 2.15GHz middle cores, and four smaller 1.6GHz cores. For graphics, it is equipped with the Maleoon 920 GPU that works at 840MHz.
Huawei might also introduce eSIM functionality with the Mate XT 2, eliminating the need for a physical SIM card. This move could help reclaim internal space, an important advantage for foldables aiming for sleeker profiles.

Apple’s new iOS 26 may look like an ordinary version jump on paper, but it signals something bigger: a fresh chapter in how iPhone software looks, feels, and acts. You can call it the most ambitious refresh to iOS in years, one that goes beyond cosmetic polish and taps into Apple’s evolving vision for AI and real-time interaction.
Apple announced iOS 26 this week at WWDC 2025, and no, you didn’t miss iOS 19 through 25. The company is aligning version numbers across its platforms, giving us iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS 26, and so on, to match the year. That alone speaks to Apple wanting its entire ecosystem to feel more cohesive. But the real story here is what’s inside.
If there is one visual change you’ll notice first, it is the new Liquid Glass design. Inspired by the glassy, layered aesthetic of visionOS, Liquid Glass introduces an entirely fresh material to iOS. Everything from app icons to widgets to system controls now appears as if crafted from translucent glass, subtly refracting and reflecting what lies beneath. It makes static elements like the Lock Screen clock feel dynamic, adapting fluidly to images and space. Move your iPhone and spatial wallpapers respond with a 3D parallax effect that adds depth and dimension.
This marks an interesting evolution when viewed against iOS’s design history. Earlier versions of iOS, especially from iOS 1 to iOS 6, used a skeuomorphic design style. This approach mimicked real-world textures and materials, with many UI elements featuring a glassy, shiny, or 3D-like appearance. Buttons often looked like polished glass or plastic with highlights and reflections.
Starting with iOS 7 in 2013, Apple moved to a flat design under Jony Ive’s direction. This stripped away most of the skeuomorphic textures in favor of a flatter, more minimal aesthetic, using bright colors and simple icons. Subtle translucency effects, such as frosted glass in the Control Center and Notification Center, remained but were far more restrained.
Now, Apple has reworked app interfaces to take full advantage of this new Liquid Glass material. Safari flows edge-to-edge, shrinking tab bars to reveal more content. In apps like Music, News, and Podcasts, floating tab bars expand or shrink depending on your interaction, keeping content front and center. The Camera app also adopts a streamlined layout with hidden controls, allowing you to focus more fully on your shot.
Apple is also giving third-party developers access to Liquid Glass APIs, meaning your favorite apps could soon match this dynamic look and feel.
2. Apple Intelligence
Apple Intelligence isn’t entirely new, it first arrived in iOS 18. But in iOS 26, it has grown into a much smarter and more integrated part of the iPhone experience. Live Translation now works seamlessly across Phone calls, Messages, and FaceTime, translating both audio and text in real time, entirely on-device. No cloud required. You can hold a phone conversation in two different languages and both sides will follow along effortlessly.
Visual Intelligence takes the concept of Google’s Circle to Search and gives it an Apple spin. You can take a screenshot of anything — a social post, an event flyer, a product you like and ask ChatGPT questions about it or search similar items on Google or Etsy. It also recognizes event details and can suggest adding them straight to your calendar.
Apple Intelligence also now powers smarter Shortcuts and Writing Tools, auto-summarizes order tracking emails, and lets users create Genmoji, custom emoji built by combining their favorite icons and descriptions. The result is an AI layer that feels more capable and present in your day-to-day iPhone use.
3. Everyday apps get sharper, smarter
iOS 26 breathes new life into core iPhone apps too.
The Phone app now screens unknown calls for you. Your iPhone will answer first, ask who is calling and why, and show you the info so you can decide to pick up or ignore. Hold Assist will stay on hold for you, notifying you when a real person joins the call.
Messages gains message screening for unknown senders, typing indicators in group chats, and AI-suggested polls. You can even set AI-generated custom backgrounds for your chats.
Music gets lyrics translation and AutoMix DJ-style transitions. Maps adds Visited Places to help you track your favorite spots and suggests optimized routes for your commutes. Wallet now gives you real-time flight updates with airport maps and Find My integration.
And yes, gaming gets love too: the new Apple Games app pulls all your titles into one hub, helps you discover new ones, and shows you what friends are playing.
4. Designed for today’s Apple ecosystem
iOS 26 also brings its Liquid Glass aesthetic and smarter interactions to CarPlay, AirPods, and beyond. CarPlay Ultra now takes over your car’s entire display system, including climate and vehicle controls, giving you a unified, Apple-powered in-car interface.
For AirPods, you get studio-quality audio recording and even a new camera remote function that lets you snap photos or start recording with a press of the AirPods stem.
5. The bottom line
iOS 26 is more than a coat of fresh paint. It marks Apple’s clearest move toward an AI-integrated, visually immersive OS that adapts to how we use our devices today, while staying true to its privacy-first principles.
iOS 26 arrives this fall for iPhone 11 and later, though you’ll need an iPhone 15 Pro or newer to access the full Apple Intelligence feature set. Based on what we’ve seen so far, this feels like one iOS update worth the hype.

Motorola has recently unveiled its Edge 60 lineup of smartphones, continuing its annual tradition of delivering a diverse portfolio of devices. Like the previous generations, the new gen is also strategically designed to cater to a wide audience, with multiple models spread across various price segments to ensure there’s a compelling option for every type of user.
Choosing between these new phones can be confusing, even for tech enthusiasts. To make it easier, this guide will explain what makes each Edge 60 model different to help you understand your options.
Let’s check out how these products are similar and different from one another.
2. Design & Durability: A Shared Look with Key Differences
All the phones in the series feature an identical design. They come with an elevated, square camera island on the top-left of the rear panel, where the camera sensors and LED flash are arranged in a matrix.
Except for the Edge 60 Stylus, the rest of the lineup has a quad-curved display and is IP68 rated. In contrast, the model with the stylus has a flat screen and is limited to an IP52 rating. The entire series arrives with Dolby Atmos-supported stereo speakers, but only the Edge 60 Stylus sports a 3.5mm headphone jack. Additionally, unlike the other models, the Edge 60 Pro does not have a microSD card slot.
Finally, the Edge 60s is GJB 150A-2009 certified for durability, while the others are MIL-STD-810H compliant.
3. Display & Visuals: Pixels, Protection, and P-OLED
All handsets in the series offer a 1.5K screen resolution (2712 x 1220 pixels) and a 120Hz refresh rate. With the exception of the Edge 60 Stylus, all models support a peak brightness of up to 4500 nits, and their displays are protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i.
The Stylus variant, on the other hand, uses the older Corning Gorilla Glass 3 and is limited to a peak brightness of 3000 nits. However, as its name suggests, it is the only model in the lineup that supports stylus input.
Regarding the panel type, all phones in the series sport P-OLED screens. In terms of size, the display on the Pro and Stylus versions measures 6.7 inches diagonally, while the other models feature a 6.67-inch screen.
The Edge 60 Pro is the most powerful model in the lineup, equipped with a MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Extreme chipset. In contrast, the Edge 60 Stylus is the least powerful, featuring a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 SoC.
The Edge 60 and Edge 60 Fusion are powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chip in most markets. However, in India, these models, along with the China-only Edge 60s, use a Dimensity 7400 SoC instead.
Furthermore, the Pro variant is the only model to feature faster LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.0 storage, while the other models come with LPDDR4x RAM and UFS 2.2 storage. All phones in the series ship with Android 15. However, their software support differs: the Edge 60 Stylus is promised only 2 major Android updates and 3 years of security updates, whereas all other models are guaranteed 3 Android updates and 4 years of security updates.
5. Cameras: A Detailed Look at the Optics
All handsets in the series feature a 50MP Sony LYTIA 700C primary camera with OIS. While the ultrawide camera on every model supports autofocus for macro photography, the sensor itself differs across the lineup. The Edge 60 and Edge 60 Pro are equipped with a 50MP ultrawide unit, whereas the other models use a 13MP sensor.
Additionally, the Edge 60 and Edge 60 Pro come with a 10MP 3x telephoto camera with OIS, a feature that is absent on the other models. Similarly, these two phones sport a 50MP selfie camera, in contrast to the 32MP front-facing camera found on the rest of the series.
6. Battery Life & Charging Speeds
The Edge 60 Pro is equipped with the largest battery in the lineup, a 6,000mAh cell. It is also the only model to support 90W wired charging and is one of two phones, along with the Edge 60 Stylus, to offer 15W wireless charging.
The Edge 60 Stylus is powered by a 5,000mAh battery. For charging, it supports the aforementioned 15W wireless charging and 68W wired charging.
Meanwhile, the Edge 60 and Edge 60 Fusion come with a 5,200mAh battery in most markets. However, in India, they feature a slightly larger 5,500mAh battery, the same capacity found in the China-exclusive Edge 60s. All of these models support 68W wired charging but lack wireless charging capabilities.

7. Availability: Where to Find Each Model
The Motorola Edge 60 family of smartphones is available worldwide, although some models are exclusive to certain markets.
For instance, the Edge 60s is sold only in China and is essentially a rebadged version of the Edge 60 Fusion. Similarly, the Edge 60 Stylus is limited to the Indian market. In other regions, this device is marketed as the Moto G Stylus (2025) and uses a different chipset (a Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 instead of the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2).
Therefore, the Edge 60 and Edge 60 Pro are the only phones in the lineup sold with the same name and specifications across all regions.

8. Which Edge 60 Should You Buy?
For the Power User: Choose the Edge 60 Pro. It has the fastest chip, the most capable camera system with a telephoto lens, the largest battery, and the fastest charging.
For the Creative Note-Taker: The Edge 60 Stylus is your go-to. It’s the only model with built-in stylus support and also keeps the convenient 3.5mm headphone jack.
For the Balanced User: The Edge 60 and Edge 60 Fusion/Edge 60s offer a great middle ground. They share powerful cameras with the Pro model but have slightly different performance and battery specs, providing excellent all-around value.
Vivo Product Manager Han Boxiao has been consistently revealing key features of the Vivo X Fold 5 ahead of its expected China launch this month. Yesterday, he shared an image showcasing the internal screen of the X Fold 5. In today’s Weibo post, he highlighted the cover display by placing it alongside the iPhone 16 Pro Max. The new post also reveals a standout feature — the phone’s ability to connect with iPhones for a seamless cross-platform experience.

One of the most noteworthy revelations is the Vivo X Fold 5’s ability to integrate smoothly with an iPhone, simplifying life for users who carry both devices. The foldable allows iPhone users to view incoming SMS and verification codes directly on the X Fold 5.
He added that if a call comes to the iPhone, users can answer it using the X Fold 5 without switching devices. Notification sharing between the two is also supported, making it easy to stay updated regardless of which phone is in hand. Impressively, all this works even with a single SIM card, eliminating the need for multiple connections.
Vivo X Fold 5 and Apple Watch Series 9
Boxiao also confirmed that the Vivo X Fold 5 is the first Android device confirmed to support connectivity with the Apple Watch. The smartwatch can display incoming calls and SMS from the X Fold 5, while health data recorded on the watch syncs directly with the vivo Health app. This allows the Apple Watch to remain functional even when paired with the X Fold 5 instead of an iPhone.
The X Fold 5 will come equipped with top-tier LTPO 8T panels on both inner and outer screens, delivering fluid adaptive refresh rates and high pixel density. Its 4,500-nit local peak brightness ensures visibility even in strong sunlight, while full-brightness high-frequency PWM dimming and TÜV Rhineland’s Global Eye Protection 3.0 certification focus on eye comfort. Vivo has partnered with Zeiss for colour tuning, ensuring lifelike tones through Zeiss Master Color calibration.
A new button has also replaced the previous alert slider on the left side, possibly offering programmable functions. While technical specs are still under wraps, Vivo has confirmed the foldable is built for extreme conditions, performing reliably at -20°C with IP5X dust and IPX9 water resistance.
