Samsung has launched the Galaxy S25 series with very few changes compared to their predecessors, at least when it comes to hardware. The base and plus models are almost the same as the S24 models with the biggest difference in appearance being the new color options. But this isn’t the case for the Ultra model. While it’s also very similar to its predecessor, it has one meaningful change: the rounded corners.
Galaxy S24 Ultra is ripping through pockets—literally!
Galaxy S25 Ultra is much more comfortable to hold than its predecessor
It’s been over a year since the release of the Galaxy S24 Ultra, and we’re still seeing people complaining about the sharp corners of the S24 Ultra. In the latest news, Reddit user partyhat-red shared an image showing how the sharp corner of his Galaxy S24 Ultra ripped through his pocket. While this isn’t a widespread issue, it goes to show how the phone might feel in hand sometimes, especially considering the 233 g weight of the device.
S24 UltraS25 Ultra
Thankfully, Samsung has not only shifted to rounded corners but also managed to make the device slightly lighter than its predecessor – 218 g down from 233 g – which also makes it a bit more comfortable to use.
The phone packs the same capacity (5000mAh) battery as last year and it does not include silicon in its name. But apparently, Samsung has optimized the resource utilization, which paired with the new and more efficient Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, results into a significant improvement in battery life. Not to mention, the raw performance capability has also improved even though it doesn’t look much different from the outside.
For those considering a Galaxy flagship in 2025, the redesign has to be one of the biggest pros of this year’s model. However, purchasing the S24 Ultra still makes sense if there is a considerable difference in the price tag. For example, the 12GB+256GB version is currently available on Amazon India for only Rs 99,399, instead of Rs 1,29,999 of the same configuration of its successor.
One of the core applications of AI in smartphones today is AI-powered photo editing. Aside from the object removal feature, upscaling and enhancing is also one of the use cases of AI here. While our phones already pack ultra-high-resolution sensors, the feature could enhance any photo you download from the internet or have on your computer, which makes it a great feature to have.

Oppo recently unveiled the Find N5 foldable phone in China and some Asian markets. Reports suggest that the brand is now gearing up to launch the Find X8 Ultra in March in China. Adding to the anticipation, Oppo Find series product manager Zhou Yibao recently shared a Weibo post highlighting the Find X8 Ultra’s exceptional low-light photography capabilities.
At the same time, the device has secured radio certification in China, indicating that its launch may be imminent. Additionally, live images of what appears to be the Find X8 Ultra have surfaced, offering the first glimpse of its design.
Oppo Find X8 Ultra: A new benchmark for night photography
According to Zhou Yibao, night photography is often considered the “Everest” of mobile imaging. He noted that with the Find X6 Pro, Oppo made significant strides in this area by incorporating a large sensor to capture clearer night shots. However, achieving the ultimate night photography experience isn’t just about sharpness—it’s also about delivering vibrant, true-to-life colours, particularly when photographing people.
For the Find X8 Ultra, Oppo has taken this a step further. The new lens will allow for significantly improved light intake, while an entirely new hardware feature will ensure more accurate colour reproduction in low-light conditions. As per reports, the X8 Ultra will have a 50-megapixel LYT-900 primary camera, a 50-megapixel Sony IMX882 ultra-wide lens, a 50-megapixel Sony IMX906 telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, and a 50-megapixel Sony IMX882 periscope telephoto camera with 6x optical zoom.
Oppo Find X8 Ultra: Live shots and radio certification
The images shown above are the alleged live shots of the Oppo Find X8 Ultra. Reports have claimed that it is the only “Ultra” branded phone to feature a flat display as compared to its competitors like the Xiaomi 15 Ultra and Vivo X200 Utlra which are expected to feature a micro-quad-curved screen.
The camera module in the other image showcases a distinctive circular design with a sophisticated dual-tone finish. A polished silver outer ring creates a raised, layered effect, enhancing its premium aesthetic. It houses a single camera, which appears to be the 6x periscope zoom camera, while the dark section below houses the primary camera, a 3x periscope camera with a squarish design, and an ultra-wide lens positioned at the bottom. An LED flash sits near the top-left corner of the device. The overall design exudes a futuristic appeal, hinting at advanced camera capabilities. The leaked image aligns with a recent rear camera module schematic of the phone.
Oppo PKJ110 – Find X8 Ultra Oppo PKU110- Find X8 Ultra Satellite Communication Version
The device shown does not seem to be the final version of ColorOS that it will ship with. This explains why the specifications mentioned on it may not be accurate. However, the model number PKJ110 is indeed associated with the X8 Ultra. Speaking of model numbers, the PKJ110 edition has received radio certification in China. Additionally, its satellite communication variant, bearing the model number PKU110, has also received radio certification.

Foldable phones have come a long way from their clunky, first-gen iterations. But let’s be real—most still come with trade-offs. They’re either too bulky, too fragile, or just not practical enough for everyday use. Oppo’s Find N5, however, feels like a major leap forward. With an ultra-slim design, a significantly improved hinge, a battery that actually lasts, and AI-driven multitasking, Oppo’s latest foldable might just be the one that makes foldables mainstream.
The Slimmest Foldable Yet—And It’s Actually Durable
At 8.93mm folded and 4.21mm when open, the Find N5 is the thinnest book-style foldable on the market. For comparison, the Honor Magic V3, the previous record-holder, was 4.35mm unfolded and 9.3mm folded. Oppo didn’t just shave off some millimeters, it re-engineered the whole hinge mechanism to get there.
The Titanium Flexion Hinge is 26% smaller than its predecessor while also being 36% more rigid, thanks to a mix of 3D-printed titanium alloy and ultra-high-strength steel. The result? A foldable that doesn’t feel like it’s going to snap in half. And if crease-free displays are your thing, Oppo claims the Find N5 is the first to get TÜV Rheinland’s Minimized Crease Certification, meaning you’ll see fewer screen distortions when watching videos or scrolling through apps.
Beyond just durability, the Find N5 is also built to handle the elements with an industry-leading IPX6, IPX8, and IPX9 water resistance rating. This means it can withstand high-pressure water jets, submersion, and extreme conditions, making it one of the most resilient foldables available today.
A Foldable with a Real Battery
Battery life has been a major weak point for foldables, but Oppo is flipping the script with a 5600mAh silicon-carbon battery—the biggest in any foldable yet. That’s a huge jump from the Galaxy Z Fold 6’s 4400mAh unit, meaning you won’t have to baby this thing through the day.
And when it does need a charge, Oppo’s 80W SuperVOOC wired and 50W AirVOOC wireless charging make sure you’re back to full power fast. No more foldable battery anxiety.
Displays That Actually Make Sense
On the inside, the Find N5 boasts an 8.12-inch LTPO OLED display with a 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rate and a peak brightness of 2,100 nits. The outer screen is a 6.62-inch panel with a 20.7:9 aspect ratio, which makes it feel more like a regular phone when folded.
Both displays support the Oppo Pen stylus, which adds a level of versatility that’s rare in foldables. Whether you’re sketching, taking notes, or just scrolling through social media, the Find N5 makes it feel seamless.
Plus, Oppo threw in 2160Hz PWM dimming to reduce eye strain, which means less flickering and a better viewing experience for long screen sessions.
AI-Driven Multitasking That Doesn’t Feel Gimmicky
Powering the Find N5 is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, a 3nm processor with 45% better AI efficiency and 40% faster GPU performance. But the real magic is Oppo’s software.
The new Boundless View feature lets you run up to three apps simultaneously in split-screen mode, making full use of the larger display. And if you’re a Mac user, Oppo’s O+ Connect lets you transfer files and remotely access your computer with minimal friction.
Cameras That Do More Than Just Look Good on Paper
Foldables usually compromise on cameras, but Oppo’s Hasselblad Master Camera System says otherwise. The Find N5 packs a 50MP main sensor, a 50MP periscope telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, and an 8MP ultra-wide sensor. AI-powered features like AI Telescope Zoom ensure lossless zoom, while AI Eraser, AI Unblur, and AI Clarity Enhancer clean up your shots automatically.
Translation: You’re getting flagship-level camera performance in a foldable that doesn’t feel like an afterthought.
The Future of Foldables?
If the Find N5’s battery wasn’t already a big enough flex, rumors suggest that Oppo and OnePlus are working on an 8000mAh silicon-carbon battery for future devices. That could be a game-changer, pushing battery life to new heights and making foldables even more practical.
Should You Care About the Oppo Find N5?
Foldables have always been cool, but the Find N5 makes them actually make sense. It’s thinner, stronger, lasts longer, and packs some genuinely useful AI and multitasking features. It’s not just a tech flex—it’s a device that could change how we use smartphones.
The big question: Is this the foldable that finally gets you to switch, or are you still waiting for something even bigger?

On the camera front, the Neo 10R packs a dual rear camera setup, headlined by a 50MP primary sensor. For selfies and video calls, there’s a 16MP front-facing shooter.
The device boasts a hefty 6,400mAh battery with 80W fast charging. It’s expected to launch with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. Up front, there’s a 6.78-inch flat AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. The phone runs on Funtouch OS 15, based on Android 14, and features an in-screen fingerprint sensor.
To build hype ahead of launch, iQOO has opened its first-ever pop-up store, the iQOO Arena, at Select City Walk Mall in Saket, New Delhi. Running from February 21 to 23, 2025 (11 AM to 7 PM), the venue gives potential buyers a hands-on look at the Neo 10R—especially its gaming-focused features, including 90fps support.
iQOO Z10 Series
iQOO Z10 is the company’s upcoming line of smartphones with four models reportedly in the works: the Z10x, Z10, Z10 Turbo, and Z10 Turbo Pro.
A standout feature across the lineup could be massive battery capacities as the phones in the lineup are expected to pack up to 7,000mAh.
iQOO Z9 Turbo Endurance Edition
At the top of the line, the Z10 Turbo Pro is rumored to be in testing with Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8s Elite processor. Meanwhile, the standard Z10 Turbo is expected to run on MediaTek’s Dimensity 8400 SoC. Both models will feature 1.5K LTPS flat displays with a 144Hz refresh rate, along with a dedicated independent graphics chip for enhanced performance.
Beyond that, details on the Z10 series remain scarce. But from what’s surfaced so far, it looks like iQOO is putting a strong emphasis on battery life for its next wave of Z-series phones.
iQOO Neo 11
While official details are scarce, leaks suggest the iQOO Neo 11 series is in development and could bring some notable upgrades over its predecessors.
One of the biggest rumored improvements? A massive 7,500mAh battery—a significant jump from the 6,100mAh cell in the iQOO Neo 10. This boost in battery capacity would be beneficial for users who engage in power-intensive activities such as gaming or streaming.
However, charging speeds are expected to stay the same, meaning while battery life will improve, the time required for a full charge likely won’t see a major reduction.
iQOO 14 Series
We’re still months away from an official iQOO 14 reveal—expected in October—but leaks are already surfacing. Like the Neo 11 and Z10 series, the iQOO 14 and 14 Pro are rumored to pack 7,000mAh batteries.
Under the hood, the phones are expected to feature Qualcomm’s next-gen Snapdragon 8 Elite successor. Another interesting shift could be the display—rumors suggest iQOO might ditch BOE and Visionox OLED panels in favor of flat Samsung OLED screens, potentially improving brightness, efficiency, and overall display quality.
While details on other hardware remain under wraps, it’s safe to expect iQOO to bring high-refresh-rate displays, upgraded cameras, and improved connectivity to compete with other flagship devices. More leaks should fill in the gaps as we get closer to launch.
Smartphone brands are reportedly gearing up to launch new flagship devices in China by the end of this year, and iQOO is no exception. The brand is expected to introduce a Snapdragon 8 Elite 2-powered smartphone in Q4 2025. In previous years, iQOO’s numbered flagship series always included both a standard and a Pro model. However, the iQOO 13 launched without a Pro version last year. Speculation suggests that its successor will mark the return of the Pro variant, offering both standard and Pro editions.
Interestingly, rumours indicate that iQOO might skip the number 14 and name its next flagship the iQOO 15, as the number 4 is considered unlucky in some Asian cultures. Adding to this speculation, a recent leak from tipster Smart Pikachu has revealed key specifications while referring to the device as the iQOO 15 instead of iQOO 14.

Alleged iQOO 15 Pro leak
According to the tipster, the iQOO 15 series phone will feature a flat OLED panel with a 2K resolution, eye protection features, and an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint scanner. The device is said to pack a massive 7,000mAh battery and include a periscope telephoto camera. While the leak does not explicitly mention it, the iQOO 15 is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, which is set to launch in October this year.
However, this leak seems to primarily refer to the iQOO 15 Pro rather than the standard iQOO 15. This assumption is based on an earlier revelation by tipster Experience More, who previously stated that the standard version lacks a periscope camera, whereas the Pro model includes it.

A leaked video has given the first real look at Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S25 Edge, which was showcased at the Galaxy S25 series launch event held last month. The hands-on footage, originally posted by YouTuber Alexis Garza, compared the device to the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and revealed its slim profile. The video, which has since been taken down, highlighted its ultra-thin design and key hardware details.
A closer look at the Galaxy S25 Edge

The Galaxy S25 Edge is expected to be one of Samsung’s thinnest phones, reportedly measuring just 5.48mm in thickness. In the video, it was placed next to the unfolded Galaxy Z Fold 6, which is 5.6mm thick in its unfolded state. A recent report revealed that the device will come with a ceramic back, giving it a premium feel. The design of the S25 Edge’s camera module looks like a smaller version of the camera island available on the Z Fold 6.
The S25 Edge’s design comes with trade-offs, as the phone houses a relatively small 4,000mAh battery. According to rumours, the device will feature a 6.7-inch screen. In comparison, despite featuring a smaller 6.2-inch screen, the Galaxy S25 packs the same battery capacity as the S25 Edge.
Despite its slim build, the S25 Edge doesn’t compromise on performance. The AIDA app shown in the video reveals that the device runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite (for Galaxy) chipset, coupled with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Camera details remain uncertain, as the AIDA64 app displayed three 12-megapixel sensors, though reports suggest a 200-megapixel + 12-megapixel dual-camera setup. The app also reveals support for Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity.
Samsung has yet to announce an official launch date, but rumors suggest the Galaxy S25 Edge could debut at MWC 2025 in early March. However, other reports have claimed that it will be unveiled in May.

Lu Weibing, Partner and President of Xiaomi Group, as well as the General Manager of the Xiaomi brand, recently held a live broadcast in China to confirm official details of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra ahead of its expected launch next week. He highlighted Xiaomi’s strategy of expanding its premium product lineup across various categories and mentioned that product launch events alone are often too short to showcase every product in detail. To address this, Xiaomi will increasingly adopt a combination of launch events and live broadcasts to provide users with more insights into product details and the thought process behind them. Today, Digital Chat Station shared a Weibo post summarizing the key highlights from yesterday’s live broadcast.
Xiaomi 15 Ultra camera specifications
Xiaomi 15 Ultra
One of the biggest revelations was the full camera specifications of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra. The device will feature a quad-camera system featuring the following camera sensors:
50-mgeapixel telephoto camera (70mm, f/1.8) with 10cm telephoto macro
200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera (1/1.4-inch, 100mm, f/2.6). Supports in-sensor zoom (ISZ) with lossless output at 200mm and 400mm, offering multiple focal lengths including 0.6x, 1x, 2x, 3x, 4.3x, 8.7x, and 17.3x.
The Xiaomi 15 Ultra aims to overcome the limitations of night photography through an “ultra-pure optical system” and is designed to set a new benchmark in mobile imaging. Interestingly, this generation will not feature a variable aperture.
Xiaomi has upgraded the 15 Ultra’s positioning from an imaging flagship to a “pinnacle imaging technology flagship,” packing the best hardware available. However, this will also increase pricing. In addition to camera advancements, the device will showcase Xiaomi’s top-tier technology in battery, display, and connectivity.
Another significant announcement was the first-ever public reveal of the Xiaomi Imaging Lab. The lab is a real-world setup that costs over 20 million Yuan to build, featuring detailed recreations of environments like cafés, museums, jewellery stores, luxury boutiques, and restaurants. This is just the first phase, with the second phase expected to include artificial sunlight and water systems. The scale of investment in the lab explains why Xiaomi no longer prioritizes DXOMARK rankings.
Upcoming Xiaomi products
The upcoming Xiaomi 15 Ultra launch event will see the arrival of several other products. These include the Mi Home Central Air Conditioner, the Pro variant of the Mijia Washer and Dryer Set, a dual-system refrigerator Pro, the Super XiaoAI Speaker, an inverter dehumidifier, the Xiaomi Buds 5 Pro, and the RedmiBook 2025 Pro.

ViewSonic has officially introduced its XG2737 gaming monitor, a 27-inch screen with a 520Hz refresh rate—one of the highest available for consumer displays. However, the monitor’s focus on speed comes with a trade-off: it maxes out at Full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution.
The XG2737 is geared toward esports players who value quick response times over detailed visuals. With a 1ms gray-to-gray response time and support for AMD FreeSync Premium, the monitor aims to reduce motion blur and screen tearing, which are critical for fast-paced games like Counter-Strike 2 or Valorant.
The monitor uses an IPS panel, covering 99% of the sRGB color space and reaching 400 nits brightness—sufficient for everyday gaming or media use. However, its 1,000:1 contrast ratio and 6-bit + FRC color depth may not meet the needs of creative professionals or those seeking advanced HDR performance.
For connectivity, the XG2737 includes two HDMI 2.1 ports, one DisplayPort, and a USB hub with two Type-A ports. The absence of a KVM switch (used to manage multiple devices) might be a drawback for streamers. Basic features like 2W speakers, a 3.5mm headphone jack, an adjustable stand, and VESA mounting support are included.
Availability and Pricing
The XG2737 is not yet on the market, and its price has not been disclosed. If priced competitively, it could appeal to esports enthusiasts. It will compete with models like the ASRock PG27FFX2A and AOC AGON AG276FK, both featuring a 520Hz refresh rate and similar specifications. When the AGON AG276FK was announced in November, it was priced at €659 in Europe and £499.99 in the UK.
