Honor to skip Magic V4 and directly launch Magic V5 foldable

Recent reports have claimed that Honor may hold a launch event in June in China to unveil a vertically folding phone, possibly the Honor Magic V2 Flip, and a book-style foldable. The latter will arrive as a major rival to the Oppo Find N5, which debuted in February in China. Just like Oppo decided to skip the “Find N4” branding and launched the Find N3’s successor as the Find N5, Honor has also reportedly decided to skip the Honor Magic V4 branding.

Honor Magic V5 foldable tipped for June debut

Honor Magic V5 name leak

Last year, Honor unveiled the Magic V3 and Magic Vs3 book-style foldable phones with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and 8 Gen 2 chipsets, respectively, in China. This year, the brand is speculated to launch only the successor to the Magic V3, not the Vs3. A fresh leak from a Chinese tech blogger has revealed that instead of continuing with the expected Magic V4 moniker, Honor will skip directly to Magic V5.

This aligns with a common practice among Chinese brands, where the number “4” is often avoided due to tetraphobia – a cultural belief that associates the number with misfortune. Huawei, Honor’s former parent brand, followed a similar path last year by releasing the Mate X5, bypassing the Mate X4.

Honor Magic V5 name leak-

The Magic V5 is expected to be unveiled in the third or fourth week of June. Product Manager Li Kun has hinted that the upcoming foldable will be thinner than its predecessor, the Magic V3. It might come close to or even beat Oppo’s Find N5, which currently holds the title for the thinnest book-style foldable.

Honor Magic V5 specifications (rumoured)

In terms of specifications, the Magic V5 foldable may sport a 6.45-inch 120Hz LTPO OLED cover screen and an 8-inch 2K 120Hz inner display. While the Find N5 has a 7-core Snapdragon 8 Elite chip onboard, the Magic V5 will feature the regular 8-core version of the chip.

The camera setup is said to include a 50-megapixel main sensor and a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto lens with larger sensors for improved performance. Additional features may include wireless charging, satellite connectivity, IPX8 water resistance, and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner – placing it in direct competition with the top-tier foldables of 2025.

Oppo Find X9 series could be equipped with 200MP lens for main or periscope camera

Oppo is reportedly working on the Find X9 series of flagship phones for the Chinese market. Initial reports suggest that the series may include four models: the Find X9, Find X9 Plus, Find X9 Pro, and Find X9 Ultra. Last year, the brand unveiled the Find X8 lineup in October, which suggests that the Find X9 lineup may break cover around the same time this year. The rumour mill has been gradually leaking details about the X9 lineup, and a new leak, courtesy of tipster Smart Pikachu, claims that it will come equipped with a 200-megapixel main or periscope zoom camera.

Oppo Find X9 series to feature 200MP camera

Find X9 series tipped to feature 200MP camera

In February, tipster Digital Chat Station claimed that Oppo is considering including a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera backed by a large sensor in the Find X9 series. In today’s leak, tipster Smart Pikachu has claimed that the Find X9 series will feature a 200-megapixel main camera or a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto lens. He added that the necessary materials for these components are already available, and the phones are expected to debut by the end of this year.

Furthermore, the tipster indicates that both the “parent” brand—likely referring to Oppo—and its “subsidiary” brands, possibly OnePlus or Realme (though this remains speculative), will have access to these camera technologies. This suggests that similar high-end camera setups could appear not only on Oppo’s flagship devices but also on smartphones from its related brands in the future.

Ideally, the brand may offer a 200-megapixel camera on the Find X9 Ultra. However, the possibility of it being included on the Find X9 Pro cannot be ruled out. The reason behind this is that while the Find X9 and X9 Pro are expected to launch later this year, the Ultra edition may break cover next year.

As per reports, the entire Find X9 series will feature a flat display. There’s a possibility that the Find X9 Pro may feature a 6.8-inch OLED LTPO panel with a 1.5K resolution, whereas the Ultra variant may feature the same-sized screen with support for 2K+ resolution. The Ultra model could be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chip, whereas the X9, X9 Plus, and X9 Pro may feature the Dimensity 9500 SoC.

Honor teases a “Power” lineup; first model could pack 8,000 mAh battery

Honor is reportedly aiming to shake up the mid-range smartphone market with its new “Power” lineup, teased for a 2025 debut. The company dropped hints on Weibo, spotlighting a device that promises standout specs—including a massive battery—while leaks and certifications suggest the launch is just around the corner.

Honor X60

On April 1, Honor teased the Power lineup with a cryptic Weibo post: “Good morning! Tell everyone a big deal! We are about to launch a Power mobile phone, with a huge battery life and a long battery life that I can’t even use up…” (translated from Chinese).

DVD-AN00 to rival the Magic 7 and X60 series in terms of battery life

The ellipsis left fans guessing, but tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo filled in some blanks. The device, likely the DVD-AN00 spotted in MIIT and 3C databases, is shaping up as a mid-ranger with flagship flair. A massive 8000mAh battery—potentially rivaling the Pro-grade battery life of the Magic 7 and X60 series—headlines the spec sheet, paired with 80W fast charging and satellite SMS support for off-grid connectivity.

The tipster also hinted at a mysterious “flagship-level technology,” possibly a cutting-edge display technology, adding intrigue to the mix. Honor’s been vocal about battery life lately, and this Power phone seems poised to double down on that strength.

While aimed at the mid-range market, it’s very likely to pack some premium specs—like the satellite connectivity—to stand out from the crowd. The 3C certification hints at an imminent reveal, possibly later this month, aligning with Honor’s teaser. What else this handset brings—beyond power and endurance—remains a question mark, but it’s clear that Honor’s betting big on longevity and innovation to hook users. Judging from the recent offerings of the Magic series, the Power lineup could redefine what you currently expect from a mid-range Android.

vivo X200 Ultra’s 200MP telephoto samples impress with stunning detail

As vivo prepares to launch its flagship X200 Ultra later this month, the company has begun teasing camera samples that demonstrate why this could be the most advanced cameraphone yet. Following the ultrawide shots, today’s teaset focuses on the device’s 200MP telephoto lens, with samples showcasing impressive clarity at extreme zoom levels.

vivo Product Manager Han Boxiao shared three images on Weibo highlighting the X200 Ultra‘s zoom capabilities:

  • A 10x optical zoom shot with exceptional detail retention
  • A 20x hybrid zoom shot that maintains clarity
  • A 30x digital zoom that defies expectations

The samples feature Taiwanese superstar Cyndi Wang, with even the 30x shot preserving facial details and texture, which is a testament to vivo’s computational photography and hardware advancements.

Vivo X200 Ultra

What makes this telephoto so special?

vivo has significantly upgraded its telephoto system with several key improvements:

  • 38% larger aperture for dramatically improved low-light performance
  • 200MP high-resolution sensor captures extraordinary detail
  • Zeiss optics and special coatings ensure improved clarity of the image
  • “Power Prism” technology (likely an ultra-light prism design) that’s aimed at reducing distortion
  • 40% better stabilization for shake-free zoomed shots

These enhancements position the X200 Ultra’s telephoto as potentially the best in the smartphone market, surpassing even its acclaimed predecessor, the X100 Ultra (our review).

While competitors like the top-tier Galaxy flagships have mainly focused on higher zoom numbers, vivo appears to be prioritizing quality over quantity. The X200 Ultra’s telephoto samples suggest it may deliver the most usable results in the 10x-30x range – the zoom levels most photographers actually use.

With its 200MP sensor, Zeiss collaboration, revolutionary prism technology, and state-of-the-art image processing, the vivo X200 Ultra is shaping up to be a landmark device for mobile photography. If these samples are any indication, the vivo X200 Ultra could redefine what smartphones can achieve with zoom photography when it launches later this month.

Amazfit: What makes it stand out from the crowd

Amazfit, a brand under the Zepp Health banner (formerly Huami), which notably had a close partnership with Xiaomi in its early years, has strategically positioned itself within the competitive smartwatch and fitness tracker market. While industry giants like Apple and Samsung command the high-end sector, and numerous budget-friendly options saturate the market, Amazfit distinguishes itself by offering a compelling fusion of affordability, feature-rich functionality, and stylish design, effectively resonating with a global audience, particularly in Western markets. This connection to Xiaomi, particularly in the initial stages of the company, helped Amazfit gain a large market share early on.

1. Affordability Meets Functionality

One of Amazfit’s primary differentiators is its commitment to delivering high-quality devices at accessible price points. In a landscape where premium smartwatches can easily exceed several hundred dollars, Amazfit provides viable alternatives that significantly undercut the competition. Crucially, this affordability does not translate to compromised features. Instead, Amazfit meticulously integrates functionalities that are paramount to consumers: precise GPS tracking, comprehensive health monitoring, and extended battery life, as seen in devices like the Amazfit Bip series.

Camera

Both chipsets feature an 18-bit triple ISP and support up to 200MP single camera resolution. However, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 has advantages such as dual always-sensing cameras for faster face recognition and QR code scanning, and 8K video recording support, while the 7+ Gen 3 is limited to 4K.

Connectivity

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 offers faster network speeds, thanks to the newer Snapdragon X75 5G modem. It offers a peak download speed of 10Gbps, whereas the X63 modem on Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chip peaks at 5Gbps. The maximum upload speed, however, remains the same at 3.5Gbps.

Both Qualcomm chips have the same mobile connectivity system. That means they carry the same Wi-Fi capabilities. However, the Bluetooth version differ: 8 Gen 3 (Bluetooth 5.4) and 7+ Gen 3 (Bluetooth 5.3).

Overall, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is the clear winner in terms of performance, gaming, camera capabilities, and connectivity. However, the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 remains a strong contender for mid-range devices, offering a balanced experience at a lower cost.

Nothing shares first teaser for CMF Phone (2)

After launching the Phone (2a) series, Nothing now seems to be gearing up to introduce the CMF Phone 2 under its budget-focused sub-brand. The company has dropped a teaser for the upcoming CMF smartphone, and a dedicated microsite is also live on Flipkart.

The teaser carries the tagline “In search of the perfect shot” and reveals a glimpse of the device, showing a camera module that appears to house a single rear camera. That seems unlikely, though, considering the CMF Phone 1 has two rear cameras—even if one was just a 2MP sensor. 

Last week, Nothing teased four Pokémon on its social media channels and community page. Among them, Bulbasaur is likely the codename for the CMF Phone 2. Whereas, the other three Pokemons might be a hint that Nothing might launch new accessories under the CMF brand alongside the phone. And this could include a smartwatch, TWS earbuds, and possibly a pair of neckband earphones.

Speaking of audio gear, the CMF Buds 2 Plus has recently appeared in the FCC database with a new Smart Dial feature. The buds weigh 105 grams in total, with the charging case packing a 460mAh battery and each earbud housing a 53mAh cell.

As for the CMF Phone 2, there’s no word yet on what the device could bring to the table. But if Nothing sticks to its playbook, we can expect it to retain the modular design introduced in its predecessor.

The CMF Phone 1’s biggest standout feature was its customizable back cover, secured that allows users to attach a lanyard and other accessories. We hope Nothing retains this unique design in its successor and perhaps makes it more modular. For example, by offering a removable battery.

Now that the first teaser is out, Nothing will likely reveal more details soon. The launch could take place later this month or early next month.
