Vivo X Fold 5 display, camera, processor, and battery details leak ahead of launch

Vivo’s X Fold 3 line of foldables launched in April 2024, so it’s about time we start hearing about a follow-up. As expected, the company is reportedly skipping the number four in the name as it is considered unlucky in China. So the next model will likely be called the X Fold 5.

A new leak from XpertPick appears to confirm the same and reveals the device’s full specifications well ahead of its official debut.

Vivo X Fold 5 specifications (rumored)

According to the leak, the X Fold 5 will feature a 6.53-inch LTPO OLED cover screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. The inner display is said to measure 8.03 inches and also uses AMOLED tech with a 120Hz refresh rate and 2K resolution.

Powering the device will reportedly be the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, the same chip powering the X Fold 3 Pro. It is paired with up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.

The rear camera setup is expected to include three 50MP sensors: a main Sony IMX921, an ultrawide with autofocus, and a Sony IMX882 telephoto with 3x optical zoom. For selfies, Vivo may include two 32MP cameras; one on the outer display and another inside.

Vivo X Fold 5 Specs leak

The battery could be one of the key differentiators. It’s said to be a 6000mAh cell, which would make it the largest battery in any foldable on the market so far. Despite that, the body is rumored to measure just 4.3mm when unfolded and 9.3mm when folded. Charging is expected to be 90W wired and 30W wireless. 

Moreover, the leak says the device will have a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, a three-stage Alert Slider, and several AI-driven tools. It will also have an official IP rating. For context, the previous X Fold 3 Pro came with an IPX4 rating.

Unfortunately, the report suggests Vivo might not launch a Pro variant this time around, meaning no direct successor to the X Fold 3 Pro.

Huawei’s upcoming PC chip, Kirin X90, leaks ahead of May 20 HarmonyOS laptop launch

Huawei officially unveiled its HarmonyOS for PCs yesterday and confirmed that its first device running the new OS will launch on May 20. Not to anyone’s surprise, the chip powering the device will not be an off-the-shelf silicon, either. Now, a fresh leak out of China has revealed some major details about the silicon.

According to DCS, the Kirin X90 is Huawei’s in-house desktop processor, and it’s internally codenamed “Charlotte Pro.” Interestingly, Huawei’s Kirin 9010 chip, which powers the Mate 70 smartphone, has a similar codename, “Charlotte.” 

The implication is that Huawei might be developing the Kirin X90 based on the same CPU architecture as its mobile SoCs, with notable enhancements to scale it up for PC-level performance.

Huawei Kirin X90 chip specs leak

Kirin X90 Specifications (Expected)

The leak describes the Kirin X90 as a 10-core processor in a 4+4+2 configuration with support for 20 threads via simultaneous multithreading. It’s also said to support China’s national cryptography standards, SM3 and SM4.

Beyond the core and thread count, the leak does not reveal details about GPU specs, process node, or thermal performance. According to previous reports, the Kirin X90 might feature a 10-core graphics unit codenamed “Ma Liang 920”.

The chip is also expected to support up to 32GB of LPDDR5-6400 memory on a 128-bit bus, with 100GB/s of bandwidth. Storage-wise, it could handle up to 2TB of SSD space and come with three USB-4 ports.

This isn’t Huawei’s first attempt at carving out space in the PC market. But this is the first time Huawei has its in-house chip and OS for the desktop. The company is basically leaning hard into vertical integration. How well the silicon performs in comparison to its peers is still an open question.

Lenovo’s in-house CPU and GPU leak suggests big plans for custom silicon

Lenovo might be preparing to debut its first self-developed processor, at least according to a new leak from reliable tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo. The processor allegedly has model code SS1101 and was spotted inside a yet-unreleased tablet, the Yoga Pad Pro 14.5.

According to the leak, the chip uses a 10-core ARM architecture in a 2+2+3+3 configuration. It’s a bit surprising to see Lenovo going for a deca-core layout rather than a usual octa-core setup for its first chip. 

The processor is said to clock up to 3.29GHz and includes a Mali G720 Immortalis GPU. The latter is a flagship graphics unit also used in the Dimensity 9300 with support for hardware-based ray tracing. 

The chip is said to be made on a 5nm process node, though its unclear who’s manufacturing it. 

Lenovo’s custom chip might support hyperthreading

There’s also some confusion around how the system is reporting core information. A user commenting on the leak noted that the chip “feels like it should still have 8 cores” but speculated it might be using hyperthreading just like Huawei’s in-house silicon

Digital Chat Station responded, “Well, the software recognizes that it has 10 cores, and it may also be hyperthreading,” suggesting that what appears to be 10 physical cores might actually include logical ones, depending on how the system reports them.

So far, Lenovo hasn’t made any official statement about the SS1101 or its plans for custom silicon. It’s not clear whether this chip is a one-off experiment or the beginning of a broader move to develop in-house processors. If the leak is accurate, the Yoga Pad Pro 14.5 could be the first testbed for a much bigger shift in Lenovo’s product roadmap.

Galaxy Tri-Fold could be Samsung’s first phone with a silicon-carbon battery

Samsung is teasing a tri-fold Galaxy phone, and a leak from @PandaFlashPro reveals its prototype packs a silicon-carbon battery. The South Korean giant reportedly aims to keep its tri-fold slim, and the new battery technology could help reduce thickness. The phone is rumored to launch in the second half of 2025.

Samsung’s tri-fold ambitions were hinted at during January’s Unpacked event, alongside XR headsets and AR glasses. If true, this leak about the silicon-carbon battery would mark a first for Samsung. A previous leak hinted at its adoption in the S26 series. Although the battery capacity is expected to remain similar—around 5,500mAh for the S26 Ultra—it could help reduce the phone’s weight and thickness. The same could be expected from the upcoming Galaxy tri-fold.

Unlike traditional Li-ion batteries with graphite anodes, silicon-carbon tech uses a silicon anode for higher energy density, enabling more power storage in less space.

The catch? The tri-fold’s battery is reportedly under 5,000mAh, prioritizing a thinner design over extended runtime. For context, Chinese smartphone makers such as vivo and Xiaomi are now offering 6,500 to 7,000mAh batteries, which is shifting expectations in both the smartphone and power bank markets. Samsung is reportedly focusing on the thickness of the Z Fold 7, and it seems to have a similar strategy for its tri-fold.

Silicon-carbon’s higher density could allow Samsung to shrink the battery while still matching the 4,400mAh capacity of the Z Fold 6. But since this leak is based on a prototype, the tri-fold’s final form—possibly launching in July 2025 alongside the Z Fold 7—remains uncertain. Will Samsung nail the balance of thinness, durability, and battery life, or is this tech still too early for prime time? With Huawei’s Mate XT tri-fold already on the market, Samsung will face stiff competition, at least in China.

iQOO Neo 10 (India) launch date, color options confirmed

iQOO launched the Neo 10R in India on March 11, and the Neo 10 is now confirmed to launch on May 26 in two color options: Inferno Red and Titanium Chrome. The Amazon listing also reveals the key specifications of the phone.

First of all, this isn’t the same as the Chinese iQOO Neo10, which launched back in November. Instead of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 used in the Chinese version, the Indian variant is powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4. For context, this is the same chip that powers the iQOO Z10 Turbo Pro, which is also exclusive to China. In fact, the Neo 10 (India) is speculated to be a tweaked version of the Z series device. According to iQOO, the upcoming device scores over 2 million on AnTuTu, which is impressive.

The phone comes with a “Dual Chip Power” tagline, and the secondary chip is the Supercomputing Chip Q1—the same one that enables 144fps gaming on the iQOO Neo 9 Pro. To recall, the recently released iQOO Neo 10R lacks this secondary chip and the MEMC feature.

This dual-chip setup is paired with LPDDR5X Ultra RAM and UFS 4.1 storage. iQOO claims 36% higher data transfer speeds and 49% faster app installation—though they didn’t clarify which phone these figures are compared against. However, they did clearly state that this will be the “segment’s first 144fps gaming smartphone.”

All of this is powered by a 7000mAh battery, another plus point carried over from the Z10 Turbo Pro. It supports 120W wired fast charging and bypass charging for long gaming sessions. For those unfamiliar, this feature lets your phone draw power directly from the adapter, helping reduce heat generation and preserve battery health.

While pricing is still under wraps, the “segment’s first 144fps gaming smartphone” tagline suggests it will be priced lower than the Neo 9 Pro, which launched at ₹35,999.

Vivo offers more pro-grade imaging hardware and creative flexibility.

Selfie Camera:
Vivo’s 50MP front camera with autofocus and 4K at 60fps recording is more advanced than the OnePlus’ 32MP sensor without autofocus. Video on both is smooth and detailed, but Vivo provides sharper images and better depth perception, ideal for vlogging and social media content creation. OnePlus performs well but leans slightly toward standard selfie needs.

Verdict:
Vivo X200 Ultra provides more versatile rear cameras and a sharper, autofocus-enabled selfie system. It is clearly the superior option for photography enthusiasts and content creators.

4. Pricing

OnePlus 13
OnePlus 13

Vivo X200 Ultra is priced around $1000, while the OnePlus 13 retails for approximately $950. The $50 difference is minimal in the flagship segment and unlikely to be a deciding factor for most buyers. 

Verdict:
With such a small price gap, the comparison tilts based on user preference. For photography-centric users, the Vivo X200 Ultra provides more advanced imaging hardware. For those prioritizing faster performance, cleaner software, and quicker charging, the OnePlus 13 delivers more practical advantages without costing more. 

Disclaimer:
Prices are approximate and may vary based on country, region, and applicable taxes.

5. Conclusion

OnePlus 13
OnePlus 13

Vivo X200 Ultra stands out with Zeiss-branded optics, gimbal OIS, 10-bit video capture, and support for a detachable zoom lens, features not found on most phones. Its satellite SOS support also adds a safety dimension. OnePlus, in contrast, emphasizes practical enhancements, like ultra-fast charging, up to 24GB RAM, and polished software with OxygenOS and features like “Circle to Search” and ultra HDR playback.

Verdict:
Vivo is packed with creative tools and pro-grade optics, making it ideal for photographers and enthusiasts. OnePlus 13, however, delivers a more balanced experience across performance, charging, and UI. For general flagship users, OnePlus 13 is the smarter buy. For niche users prioritizing advanced camera features, Vivo X200 Ultra is the standout.

New Premium Casio MRG-B2000RG-3A Watch with Titanium Bezel Leaked

Casio is apparently working on a brand new high end watch. A new leak has revealed the MRG-B2000RG-3A model, which is likely a new addition to the existing MR-G lineup. This has offered us a look at the premium build quality and a hefty price tag. So here’s everything we know so far.

Casio MRG-B2000RG-3A Watch: What does it offer?

The popular watch maker’s upcoming MRG-B2000RG-3A model was spotted on a Great G-Shock World blog post. This new Casio MR-G watch could launch for a rumored price tag of around 400,000 Yen, which is roughly about 2,800 US Dollars. Looking at the leaked image, the MRG-B2000RG-3A watch features a design inspired by “kurogane-iro”, which basically means iron color. So we can see a dark green color scheme.

Along with this color scheme, it has a dark primary background and gold accents. But one of the notable aspects is the inclusion of the recrystallized titanium. This is in line with a few other MR-G models from Casio, although the model brings a more unique aesthetic. The entire design seems similar to the B2000 series watches. So there’s a chance that the Casio MRG-B2000RG-3A also brings support for Bluetooth smartphone sync, Solar charging, and other features from the B2000 lineup.

The leaked image reveals that the watch has a fluoro rubber band. So the overall weight should be light, especially considering how it also blends the titanium build material. Unfortunately, this model only appears to be arriving in the Japanese market. Meaning, it might be limited to certain Asian regions since the global release is still unclear at the moment.

One UI 7 update is available for these Samsung devices in the US

Samsung One UI 7 update rollout US

One UI 7 is one of the most exciting software upgrades in Samsung’s history — and also one of the most frustrating. While it brings a ton of new features, enhancements, and improvements, its rollout has been marred by a major delay.

Samsung finally began rolling out the stable One UI 7 update in the US in the second week of April 2025. As expected, premium models such as Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy Z Fold 6, and Galaxy Z Flip 6 got the early taste, but Samsung quickly expanded the rollout to more devices. The update is now available for many Galaxy phones and tablets, which you can take a look at below.

Samsung devices that are getting the One UI 7 update

Keep in mind that the update doesn’t reach all carriers and unlocked models at the same time. It may take a few days — or even a few weeks — to arrive on your device. To manually check for the update, go to Settings > Software update and hit the Download and install option.

If you have a Galaxy device that’s not on the above list, you may have to wait a little longer to receive the update. Ensure that your Galaxy device is eligible for the One UI 7 upgrade, if you haven’t already (check the complete list here).

2. One UI 8 rollout won’t follow One UI 7’s pace

5 steps for a smooth transition to One UI 7

Major updates can sometimes cause issues like data loss or system bugs. Follow these five simple tips to make sure you’re upgrading safely:

1. Back up your data

This is the first and most important thing to do before hitting the install button, especially when it’s a major update. Backing up important data keeps you worry-free even in case of firmware failure. Although such incidents happen rarely, a possibility is always there.

You can use Samsung Cloud to backup without any storage limit. The only catch is that the backup is stored on Samsung’s servers for 30 days. Make sure to restore your data within that period.

2. Free up storage space

One UI 7 is a large update, with a download size of around 5GB or more. If your device doesn’t have enough space, the update might fail. Additionally, it can slow down your phone. It’s recommended that you keep at least 10GB free storage on your Samsung device.

Go to Settings > Device care > Storage to delete unnecessary files, unused apps, and large media files. You can reclaim more storage by removing some large files that are already backed up.

3. Install pending updates

Make sure all apps and system software are updated before installing One UI 7. Updated apps are more likely to be compatible with the new software.

You can update Samsung apps via the Galaxy Store and others through the Google Play Store. Also, go to Settings > Software update > Download and install to check for any pending system updates.

4. Charge your device to at least 30%

Major updates like One UI 7 consume more battery and take longer to install. Make sure your phone is charged to at least 30% to avoid interruptions. If the phone shuts down mid-installation, you could end up with corrupted files or unstable software.

5. Read community feedback

Even stable builds can have bugs. Before installing, it might be a good idea to visit the Samsung Community forums or related subreddits to see how others are experiencing the update on your specific model.

Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 tipped to feature Oryon Gen 2 CPU cores, 100 TOPS NPU, and more

Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, slated for a late September 2025 reveal, promises a leap over its predecessor with a 100 TOPS NPU, Oryon Gen 2 CPU cores, and a beefy Adreno 840 GPU, per a leak from Digital Chat Station. Set to power flagships like the Galaxy S26 Ultra or the Xiaomi 16, it’s gearing up for a big 2026.

The Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 is shaping up to be Qualcomm’s most potent mobile chipset yet, and a big upgrade over the already impressive Snapdragon 8 Elite, and is rumored to debut at the Snapdragon Summit in September 2025.

Leaker Digital Chat Station, known for reliable scoops, shared on Weibo that it’ll use TSMC’s cutting-edge N3P 3nm process and Oryon Gen 2 CPU cores—two prime and six performance cores—ditching efficiency cores like its predecessor.

As per a previous report, the prime cores will run at a clock speed of 4.4GHz, a slight upgrade over the 4.32GHz clock of the predecessor. Built on the Armv9 architecture with SME 1 and SVE2 support, it seems that the 8 Elite 2 will also be ready for advanced AI features.

The chipset’s Hexagon NPU hits a staggering 100 TOPS, which could be beneficial for features like AI-powered photo and video editing. Its Adreno 840 GPU, paired with a 33% larger 16MB L2 cache, boosts gaming and graphics by 30%, with display brightness tweaks also in tow. AnTuTu scores reportedly surpass 3.8 million, which is a hefty jump from the 8 Elite’s 2.7 – 3 million.

The 8 Elite 2’s efficiency and power could redefine Android flagships. Will it outshine Apple’s A19, or is the 100 TOPS NPU just hype? Expect more leaks as we inch closer to the official unveiling.

Lenovo’s 10th-gen Legion 9i arrives with naked-eye 3D and 192GB of RAM

Lenovo’s Legion 9i is getting a refresh with what are likely the beefiest specs money can buy today. The 10th-generation model brings a Core Ultra 9 295HX CPU and up to 192GB of DDR5 memory. Add to that, you get an option to choose a 3D display model with eye-tracking and a lenticular lens support. Here’s everything you need to know about it. 

Lenovo Legion 9i Specifications

The Legion 9i comes with an 18-inch screen that supports both 2D and 3D content. In 2D mode, the panel reaches up to 4K resolution (3840 x 2400) and supports refresh rates as high as 240Hz. There’s also a 1920 x 1080 2D mode that boosts the refresh rate up to 440Hz. 

Switch over to 3D, and the resolution drops to 1920 x 1200, but with the benefit of naked-eye 3D thanks to integrated eye-tracking and a lens array system. No glasses are required.

Lenovo says it supports up to 30 3D games through its in-house software, and the visual hardware is being pitched directly to digital artists, visual designers, and gamers working in stereoscopic environments.

Internally, the Legion 9i maxes out with an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU and NVIDIA’s latest RTX 5090 GPU. The laptop supports up to 192GB of RAM and as much as 8TB of SSD storage, which is split across four memory slots and four SSD bays. The base model ships with a standard 4K non-3D screen, but Lenovo is clearly pushing flexibility with its upgradable design.

You get plenty of connectivity options. There are two Thunderbolt 5 ports, four USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports (three Type-A, one Type-C), HDMI 2.1, full-size SD card reader, Ethernet, Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth 5.4. The 2D model includes a 5MP f/2 webcam, while the 3D version uses a faster f/1.6 lens. Both cameras come with a privacy switch.

Physically, the Legion 9i features a carbon fiber lid made from eight individual layers, which Lenovo claims makes it lighter and stronger than aluminum. The pattern of the carbon fiber varies slightly from unit to unit, which the company says gives each laptop a unique finish.

It’s gonna be expensive

With such beefier specs, It’s not surprising that it’s expensive hardware to get hands-on. Lenovo hasn’t announced the pricing yet. But considering the Gen 9 model costs over $4,500, we wouldn’t be surprised if the 3D screen version costs over $5,000.

This setup enables fast boot times, fluid UI navigation, and stable playback across demanding applications. The projector uses a Mali-G52 GPU and supports MEMC motion compensation, AI-enhanced image tuning, and scene-adaptive dynamic contrast to keep visuals smooth and sharp.

For audio, the Z6X Pro comes with 7W Harman Kardon stereo speakers tuned with HoonSound engine technology. The sound system supports Dolby Audio and is designed to deliver spacious, high-fidelity output that eliminates the need for external speakers in most environments.

It sports a folding book-style chassis that weighs only 1.28kg and measures 75mm thick, making it easy to move or reposition. The integrated 150° gimbal mount allows flexible manual tilt for projecting onto ceilings, walls, or angled surfaces. It also features automatic keystone correction and full-frame autofocus for quick setup.

The projector includes HDMI (with ARC), USB, and DC ports, along with dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.1. It runs GMUI 6.0 and supports voice commands, screen casting via AirPlay and DLNA, and built-in content streaming. Power consumption is rated at 65W, with fan noise kept below 28dB at a 1-meter distance.

This new model closely resembles the globally launched Elfin Flip but comes in a slightly bulkier frame with larger dimensions and significantly higher ISO lumens. It could potentially debut worldwide later this year as an upgraded version of the Elfin Flip.
