Honor is reportedly gearing up to launch its next foldable, expected to be called the Magic V4, in June. A new leak suggests the device will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen Elite, the full-core variant, unlike the seven-core version found in the Oppo Find N5.
Now, a new leak may have spilled the beans on other key details, including display sizes, camera upgrades, and a thinner design. While the leak doesn’t explicitly name the device, all signs point to it being the Magic V4.
Honor Magic V4 Specifications (Expected)
According to DCS, the foldable will feature an 8-inch LTPO inner display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 2K resolution. The cover display will also be LTPO with a 120Hz refresh rate, measuring 6.45 inches.
On the camera front, the Magic V4 is said to retain the 50MP 1/1.5-inch main sensor from the Magic V3. However, the big upgrade could come in telephoto capabilities—the leak suggests a 200MP 1/1.4-inch sensor with 3x optical zoom, a significant jump from the 50MP zoom lens on the Magic V3. There’s likely another sensor in the mix, but details on that remain under wraps.
Despite the beefed-up camera hardware, the Magic V4 is expected to be thinner than 9mm, which could make it one of the slimmest foldables around. The Magic V3 previously held the crown before the Oppo Find N5 stole the title last month. If Honor wants to reclaim the throne, the Magic V4 will have to be even slimmer.
The foldable is also rumored to include wireless charging, an IPX8 waterproof rating, and satellite communication support. For biometrics, Honor is reportedly sticking with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor instead of an in-display one.
If the leak holds up, the Magic V4 could shape up to be one of the most exciting foldables of the year. We’ll likely find out in June.

Google‘s next budget Pixel phone could be right around the corner. The Pixel 9a has already made the rounds online but the latest leak has confirmed its launch date for both the global and Indian markets. So here is everything we know.
Google Pixel 9a launch set for March 19
The news arrives from known tipster Yogesh Brar who shared the information on X (formerly Twitter). He claimed that the search engine giant’s Pixel 9a model could be globally launching within the next two weeks. The Google Pixel 9a is reportedly set to make its global debut on 19th March 2025. Meanwhile, the Indian release is set for a day later on March 20. If this is true, the Pixel 9a’s release is arriving much earlier than its predecessor, the Pixel 8a. To recall, that model was released globally in the month of May.
Google Pixel 9a
Apart from this, the leak from Yogesh revealed some disappointing news. While the “Pixel a” series is known for being upper mid range phones that have some top tier specs with cut corners, these are still typically quite expensive. A great example is near iPhone 16e levels of pricing. So it is disappointing when the tipster claims that there is “another year of exorbitant pricing”.
At the moment, it is unclear if it is for both the global and Indian markets. But even the A series has typically been quite expensive in India. Keep in mind that this is still just an unconfirmed report so take this news with a pinch of salt. For those interested, you can check out 5 major upgrades that it offers over the predecessor.

Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7 series is known for bringing excellent performance to mid-range smartphones, but its naming scheme often leaves buyers scratching their heads. Take the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 and 7s Gen 3, for example — at first glance, you might expect the latter to be an upgrade. However, the reality isn’t that simple.
The Snapdragon 7s Gen 3, announced in August 2024, comes with improved CPU cores and GPU performance, yet its peak clock speed (2.5GHz) is actually lower than the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 (2.63GHz), which launched in November 2023. The 7 Gen 3 also offers better connectivity and faster charging support. To find out which one delivers superior performance, we tested the two chips through multiple benchmarks. We have also highlighted the key differences to help you make a better decision.
Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 vs 7s Gen 3: Benchmarks
[Note: The following benchmark tests have been conducted on the Vivo T3 Pro (powered by Snapdragon 7 Gen 3) and Realme 14 Pro+ (powered by Snapdragon 7s Gen 3).]
AnTuTu performance
AnTuTu is a widely used benchmarking tool to measure the overall performance of a device. It runs a series of tests to evaluate processing power, graphics rendering, multitasking efficiency, and overall system responsiveness.
On AnTuTu v10, the Vivo T3 Pro, powered by Snapdragon 7 Gen 3, scored 811,593 AnTuTu points. The Snapdragon 7s Gen 3-powered Realme 14 Pro+ is slightly ahead with 823,476 points.

The breakdown of AnTuTu score reveals that the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 has a faster CPU. This was obvious, as the chip has better CPU cores than the 7 Gen 3, but what wasn’t obvious was the higher GPU score on the 7 Gen 3. The 7s Gen 3 is paired with a faster GPU (Adreno 810) than the 7 Gen 3 (Adreno 720).
The Adreno 810 is generally faster than the Adreno 720, but other factors, such as the cooling system, software optimizations, and memory speed, also play an important role. These factors on the Vivo T3 Pro could have resulted in a slightly lower GPU score than the Realme 14 Pro+ despite a better GPU.
Geekbench performance
Geekbench is popularly used for measuring the CPU performance of devices. The benchmarking tool outputs single-core and multi-core results. The former reflects the device strength when a single CPU core is used, and the latter tells the performance when all CPU cores are at work.
On Geekbench v6, the Vivo T3 Pro, powered by Snapdragon 7 Gen 3, has scored 1,145 single-core points and 3,123 multi-core points. The 7s Gen 3-powered Realme 14 Pro+, on the other hand, has scored 1,193 and 3,229 points in the single-core and multi-core tests, respectively.

Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 vs 7s Gen 3: Key differences
While both are octa-core chipsets, they have different sets of CPU cores. The Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 has four Cortex-A715 performance cores and four Cortex-A510 power-efficiency cores, while the 7s Gen 3 has four Cortex-A720 performance cores and four Cortex-A520 power-efficiency cores.
Compared to Cortex-A715, the Cortex-A720 offers up to 20% better power efficiency and up to 15% improvement in peak performance. The Cortex-A520 also brings up to 22% power reduction and up to 8% better performance compared to Cortex-A510.
The Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 is stronger on the GPU side as well, featuring Adreno 810, which is slightly more powerful than Adreno 720 on the 7 Gen 3. That means the device using the 7s Gen 3 will have better gaming performance, given that the remaining aspects, such as the cooling system and software optimizations, remain unchanged.
The two Qualcomm chips also bring connectivity differences. The 7 Gen 3 modem allows up to 5Gbps peak download speed, which peaks at 2.9Gbps on the 7s Gen 3. The rest of the connectivity specs are almost unchanged. The 7 Gen 3 also supports high screen resolution and screen refresh rate. It also supports Qualcomm Quick Charge 5 technology, while the 7s Gen 3 supports Quick Charge 4+.
So, these were the key differences between Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 and 7s Gen 3. Let’s take a quick look at the spec sheet for a better overview of these chips.

Xiaomi’s latest flagship, the 15 Ultra, is now available on the global market. Priced at €1,500, it packs some seriously impressive hardware—a massive 200MP periscope telephoto lens and a 1-inch main sensor.
These specs put it ahead of Apple’s flagship in terms of hardware. But even with all that firepower, the 15 Ultra hasn’t cracked DXOMark’s top 10 camera rankings.
Xiaomi 15 Ultra’s DXOMark score
The 15 Ultra scored 153 points in DXOMark’s camera tests, placing it 13th globally. That’s Xiaomi’s best showing yet—last year’s 14 Ultra sits at 19th place with 149 points.
To be clear, this doesn’t mean the 15 Ultra has a bad camera—far from it. Even Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Ultra ranks lower at 24th place. DXOMark praised the 15 Ultra for its high texture detail, low noise, accurate exposure, wide dynamic range, and strong color rendering.
So why did it fall short?
According to DXOMark, the phone struggles with occasional warm color casts in both photos and videos, contrast inconsistencies, and noticeable artifacts that impact image quality. There are also issues with texture loss in certain conditions and autofocus stepping problems, which can make focusing feel less smooth.
Another major drawback is its narrow depth of field, which results in blurred background faces in group shots. Note that this a limitation stemming from its primary camera.
For a phone that aims to be the best of the best, these shortcomings might be disappointing. But numbers aside, the 15 Ultra still packs some of the most impressive mobile camera hardware available right now.
Our hands-on of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is already out—be sure to check it out!

Mobile World Congress (MWC) is the ultimate stage for smartphone innovation, and every year, brands push the boundaries of design and functionality. While some focus on refining the essentials, others take a more experimental approach, sometimes resulting in phones that are just plain weird.
MWC 2025 was no exception, with manufacturers unveiling some of the most unconventional concepts we’ve seen in years. Here are the top five bizarre, yet intriguing, smartphones that made waves at the event.
1. Infinix Zero Mini Tri-Fold
Foldable phones have been evolving rapidly, but Infinix took things to a whole new level with the ZERO Series Mini Tri-Fold. This concept device features a triple-folding design with dual hinges, allowing it to transform from a standard smartphone into a hands-free fitness tracker or even a wearable camera that clips onto a backpack.
It can stand upright for video calls or entertainment, attach to handlebars for navigation, and even serve as a selfie-assist tool. While it’s still a concept with no official specs or pricing, it offers a radical new take on what foldables can be.
2. Tecno Spark Slim
Tecno introduced the Spark Slim, a device that defies conventional smartphone dimensions with its ultra-thin 5.75mm profile. Unlike most super-thin devices that sacrifice battery life, this one still manages to pack a 5200mAh battery and a 6.78-inch 3D Curved AMOLED display with a stunning 144Hz refresh rate.
The 50MP+50MP rear camera setup and a 13MP front camera add some serious imaging power. However, given that it’s just a concept, there’s no guarantee it will make it to mass production in this form. But if it does, it could shake up the ultra-slim phone segment.
3. Nubia Focus 2 Ultra
If you’ve ever wished your smartphone was more like a DSLR, the Nubia Focus 2 Ultra might be your dream device or your worst nightmare. Featuring a massive 50MP sensor with an f/1.47 aperture, the phone comes with a physical rotating lens ring to manually adjust zoom levels or add filters.
It even supports a detachable camera grip, mimicking the ergonomics of a professional camera. With a €299 price tag (about $314), it’s a budget-friendly alternative to the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, which features a similar camera grip but costs over $1,200. Whether people actually want a smartphone this camera-focused remains to be seen.
Sustainability meets smartphone innovation with Infinix’s solar-powered concept phone. Unlike previous solar-powered attempts, this device uses perovskite solar cells, which are thinner and more efficient than traditional silicon-based panels. It also features Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) to optimize energy collection without overheating.
While its 2W charging capability isn’t enough to fully replace conventional charging, it could be useful for emergency top-ups during outdoor adventures. Infinix also introduced a solar-charging phone case, adding a practical layer to the concept. Will solar phones become a mainstream trend? Probably not yet, but this is a step in the right direction.
5. Doogee V Max Play
Doogee’s V Max Play might be the ultimate phone for outdoor enthusiasts—or those who just want a ridiculously overpowered device. It features a built-in 5G projector capable of projecting a 100-inch image at 480p resolution, dual camping lights for nighttime adventures, and an ambient RGB light system for mood lighting.
Powered by a massive 22,000mAh battery, it can run for days and even reverse charge other devices at 15W. With a rugged design, IP68 water resistance, and a 6.78-inch 120Hz display, it’s as durable as it is weird. Whether you need all these features in a single device is another question entirely.
The Future of Weird Phones: Will Any of These Make It to Market?
MWC 2025 showcased some truly outlandish concepts, but the real question is whether any of these will make it to market in their current form. While some, like the Nubia Focus 2 Ultra, are confirmed for release, others like Infinix’s solar-powered phone may remain prototypes.
Either way, these devices demonstrate how smartphone innovation isn’t just about faster processors or better cameras; it’s about reimagining what a phone can be.
