Apr 6, 2026

Honor’s upcoming 600 series is starting to take shape, and new live images of the Honor 600 Pro have now surfaced online. It’s probably the clearest look so far, and if the timing of recent leaks is anything to go by, the launch might not be too far off.

The images were shared by DigitalChatStation on Weibo, showing the phone in an orange finish. The biggest change is on the back. The phone uses a horizontal triple-camera layout, which feels a bit different from what Honor has done recently. It looks clean, though opinions will likely depend on taste.

From the front, things are more familiar. The device appears to have a 6.57-inch OLED display with slim bezels and slightly rounded corners. There’s a single punch-hole camera at the top, which keeps the overall look fairly minimal.

The Honor 600 series has already appeared in Geekbench and TUV certification listings. The standard model scored 1318 in single-core and 4075 in multi-core tests on Geekbench 6.6.0, while the Pro variant posted 2951 and 8869, respectively. Based on the core layout and clock speeds, the standard and Pro models are likely powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 and Snapdragon 8 Elite.

The TUV certification points to IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance. The display is expected to offer a 1.5K resolution with a 120Hz refresh rate, and the main camera on both the standard and Pro models could jump to 200MP. There’s also talk of a 9,000mAh battery, which sounds unusually large for a handset.

Not much has been officially confirmed yet, but with real-world images now out and certifications already in place, the launch doesn’t seem too far away. More details, especially around performance and pricing, should start to surface soon.

OnePlus 16’s 200MP periscope telephoto camera could feature this image sensor

By

-

Apr 6, 2026

OnePlus appears to be preparing the OnePlus 16 flagship with a strong focus on imaging, as the previous generation featured subpar cameras. A new leak reveals that the OnePlus 16 may bring a notable upgrade to its telephoto camera setup. Here’s a look at what to expect from the OnePlus 16’s cameras.

OnePlus 16 to feature familiar 200MP periscope telephoto camera

According to Smart Pikachu on Weibo, a 200-megapixel imaging solution originally associated with Realme has now appeared in OnePlus’ development pipeline. Earlier reports have indicated that this 200-megapixel periscope unit may use the Samsung HP5 sensor, which Realme has used on phones like the Realme 16 Pro series and Realme GT 8 Pro.

Other reports have revealed that the OnePlus 16’s camera system is also likely to include two additional 50-megapixel sensors for the main and ultra-wide lenses, forming a balanced triple-camera setup.

In addition to camera upgrades, the OnePlus 16 is expected to bring significant improvements in performance. Its display is likely to support 1.5K resolution with a high refresh rate, possibly reaching up to 200Hz or higher. The device could be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chipset, built on an advanced 2nm process.

The chipset is expected to be paired with LPDDR6 RAM, which may offer a substantial increase in bandwidth compared to current standards. This could improve multitasking, gaming, and on-device AI processing. Additional features may include an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor and OxygenOS 17 based on Android 17.

There is a possibility that the rising component costs may result in higher pricing, with early estimates suggesting a starting price of around 5,000 Yuan (~$725). It is expected to launch in China around October, followed by a global rollout in November.

Redmi A7 Pro India launch date revealed

By

-

Apr 6, 2026

Xiaomi has already announced the Redmi A7 Pro across markets in Europe and Asia. The company is finally bringing the model to India on April 13th — next Monday.

The teaser says Redmi A7 Pro is the “King of Power and Style.” Here’s what you can expect from the device.

Redmi A7 Pro Specifications

The Redmi A7 Pro comes with a 6.9-inch IPS LCD panel with a 120Hz refresh rate. It is powered by a 12nm Unisoc T7250 processor, coupled with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.

Software is handled by Android 16-based Xiaomi HyperOS 3. In day-to-day use, this setup is enough for basic tasks like apps, social media, and light multitasking, but it is not meant for heavy gaming.

In terms of camera, the Redmi A7 Pro comes with a 13-megapixel AI dual rear setup and an 8-megapixel front camera.

The device centers around a 6000mAh battery designed for extended usage across streaming, browsing, and calls. It charges at 15W, which isn’t fast by 2026 standards, but this is what you get in this segment.

The smartphone comes in four color options: Black, Blue, Green, and Orange. The latter features a distinctive wavy rear panel. Fortunately, Redmi has teased this exact model in a teaser, although we are not sure if the company has all the remaining options for India.

In Italy, the Redmi A7 Pro pricing starts at €129.90 for the 4GB RAM and 64GB storage version. The 4GB RAM and 128GB model is priced at €149.90. Prices in Europe are usually higher, so we can expect the device to launch at around Rs 10,000 in India.

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro might not even deliver 20% performance improvement over predecessor

By

-

Apr 6, 2026

Qualcomm is expected to unveil its next flagship mobile platform, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 series, in September 2026. And if a new leak is to be believed, this generation will not deliver the CPU gains we might expect from it.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro Block Diagram

According to Chinese leaker Fixed Focus Digital, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro — which is said to be built on a 2nm process — will deliver less than 20% CPU performance improvement. Instead, the bigger story could be on the GPU side.

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro will have better incremental performance in GPU

The report suggests Qualcomm will stick with a dual Prime core setup, but could change how its performance cores are arranged.

Rather than pairing the Prime cores with six identical performance cores running at the same clock speeds, the company is rumored to split them into two clusters with different frequencies in a 3+3 layout.

Interestingly, even MediaTek’s upcoming Dimensity 9600 chip is said to follow a similar 2+3+3 CPU configuration.

There are a couple of possible explanations for this change. One is that mobile CPU clock speeds are starting to hit practical limits, especially under tight power constraints. Another is that companies like Qualcomm may now be choosing to invest more in efficiency and sustained performance, rather than chasing short bursts of higher benchmark numbers.

In terms of GPU, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro is rumored to feature an upgraded Adreno A850 GPU, with a larger cache and support for LPDDR6 memory. These changes could translate into more noticeable improvements in gaming performance and on-device AI tasks, even if raw CPU gains are just modest.

Not to forget, there is even said to be the vanilla Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6, which might bring even a modest performance bump.

By

Apr 6, 2026

Oppo will unveil the Find X9s Pro, a compact flagship phone, later this month in China. This compact phone will be one of the first phones to come equipped with dual 200-megapixel cameras. The company confirmed today that the X9s Pro will also arrive with support for an optional telephoto extender for an enhanced photography experience.

Find X9s Pro’s Hasselblad teleconverter kit revealed

Oppo Find X9s Pro telephoto zoom accessory--

Ahead of the April 21 launch event, Oppo has showcased the Find X9s Pro paired with a new silver-colored Hasselblad telephoto lens. This external accessory features a full metal build and attaches to the phone through a rotating mechanism, allowing quick and secure mounting.

The accessory is designed to handle long-distance photography scenarios such as sports events and wildlife capture. When paired with the phone’s camera system, it aims to extend zoom capabilities while maintaining image clarity and color consistency associated with Hasselblad tuning.

The silver finish and premium materials give it a look similar to professional camera lenses, making it more than a typical smartphone attachment.

The Find X9s Pro is expected to feature a dual 200-megapixel camera system, including a high-resolution primary sensor and a telephoto lens. This setup positions it among the few smartphones offering dual 200-megapixel cameras, focusing heavily on imaging performance.

On the front, the device may come with a 6.32-inch 1.5K flat display with a 144Hz refresh rate and narrow bezels. It is also tipped to use a new display material aimed at improving brightness and efficiency.

Performance is likely to be handled by the Dimensity 9500 chipset, paired with a 7,025mAh battery. The phone is expected to support 80W wired and 50W wireless charging, offering a balance between endurance and fast charging.

Additional features such as an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor and dual speakers are also expected, indicating a premium overall package. Oppo will unveil the device alongside the Find X9 Ultra at its upcoming event. While the X9 Ultra will release globally, the X9s Pro may remain exclusive to the Chinese market.

Redmi K90 Ultra’s arrival seemingly teased, another K90 series phone may join

By

-

Apr 6, 2026

A new Redmi flagship appears to be on the horizon for the Chinese market, with recent leaks pointing towards multiple additions to the K90 lineup. The Redmi K90 Ultra is expected to debut soon, but it may not arrive alone.

Redmi K90 Ultra incoming

The Redmi K90 Ultra has reportedly cleared certification and is expected to launch this month. Wei Siqi, General Manager of Xiaomi China Marketing Department, recently hinted at the device through a Weibo post shared from a new phone.

One of its standout features is likely to be an internal cooling fan, marking Xiaomi’s first smartphone with active cooling. This system is expected to maintain stable performance during heavy workloads such as gaming. The fan may also adjust automatically based on temperature and usage, helping balance performance and efficiency.

The Redmi K90 Ultra is tipped to feature the Dimensity 9500 chipset, built on TSMC’s third-generation 3nm process, offering noticeable performance improvements. It is also expected to pack an 8500mAh battery with 100W wired fast charging, focusing on both endurance and quick charging.

At the same time, a separate leak from Digital Chat Station that emerged a few weeks ago revealed that another K90 series device is in development. While the exact name is unclear, it is believed that this model could launch as the Redmi K90 Pro, potentially alongside the Ultra variant.

The alleged K90 Pro said to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. It may include a high refresh rate display, an 8000mAh battery, and an internal cooling fan for sustained performance. Additional features could include an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor, dual speakers, and a water-resistant build.

Reports indicate that this Snapdragon-powered model could be positioned between the existing Redmi K90 and K90 Pro Max. Earlier rumors had also hinted that both the K90 Pro and K90 Ultra could launch together.

Honor Magic 9 series to feature ARRI co-developed camera system, launch in October

By

-

Apr 6, 2026

Honor’s next flagship phone is reportedly working on the side of Android that it isn’t particularly known for: video.

According to a new leak from tipster “Factory Manager is Guan,” the upcoming Honor Magic 9 series will come with an ARRI co-branded imaging system.

For those unaware, ARRI is the world’s leading designer of professional motion picture cameras, lenses, lighting systems, and post-production equipment. Founded in 1917 and based in Germany, the company’s gear shows up in films, documentaries, and high-end productions.

And FYI, this partnership didn’t come out of nowhere. At the 2026 Mobile World Congress, Honor and ARRI officially announced a strategic collaboration to bring ARRI Image Science into next-generation consumer devices.

According to the tipster, the Magic 9 series will offer “ exceptional video capabilities.” It won’t be quite at the level of Honor’s experimental “Robot Phone,” but potentially enough to challenge the long-standing perception that Android phones lag in video recording.

Honor Magic 9 series could launch in October

The tipster also says that if a phone can handle video well, still photography tends to follow. The suggestion is that the Magic 9 series could deliver a more complete imaging upgrade.

Honor CEO Li Jian previously hinted that this new imaging system could surpass Apple’s current camera performance.

Beyond cameras, the Magic 9 series is also expected to debut with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6, built on a 2nm process from TSMC.

Last but not least, the tipster suggests the Honor Magic 9 series will launch in October. That’s right after the expected announcement of the iPhone 18 series.

For now, it’s still a leak. But if even part of it holds up, the Magic 9 series could end up being less about specs and more about changing how Android phones are judged, particularly when it comes to video.

Red Magic Gaming Tablet 5 Pro launch timeframe officially confirmed

By

-

Apr 6, 2026

Red Magic looks set to update its gaming tablet lineup soon. The upcoming Red Magic Gaming Tablet 5 Pro has now been teased with an official launch window.

Jiang Chao, a senior executive at the company, said on Weibo that the tablet will arrive sometime in April or May 2026. He didn’t share an exact date, but did say the device should be worth the wait. It will follow last year’s Gaming Tablet 3 Pro, which marked Red Magic’s push into compact, performance-focused tablets.

One thing that’s already been confirmed is a global rollout. The previous model launched in China first and later arrived internationally under the name Red Magic Astra, so something similar could happen again. If the timing holds, a global version might show up a month or two after the initial release.

As for upgrades, RedMagic is hinting at a few key changes. The tablet is expected to feature an OLED display with a very high refresh rate. Some early talk suggests it could go beyond 165Hz, possibly even touching 200Hz, though that’s still unconfirmed.

For performance, Red Magic is expected to use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. Cooling also seems to be a big focus. The company is reportedly working on a more advanced system using PC-grade materials, which should help keep performance stable during longer gaming sessions.

Pricing is still unclear, but with component costs rising, a slight increase wouldn’t be surprising.

For now, most of the information is still coming from early teasers and hints. But with the launch window already confirmed, more details should start to appear soon.

Oppo Find X9 Ultra telephoto system detailed: Built-in 10x zoom, Hasselblad external lens

By

-

Apr 6, 2026

Reports have revealed that one of the periscope telephoto cameras of the forthcoming Oppo Find X9 Ultra will offer up to 10x optical zoom. Like its previous generation, the company is expected to offer more powerful zooming capabilities by providing an optional Hasselblad telephoto extender system. Recently, Oppo Find Series product manager Zhuo Shijie shared the details about Find X9 Ultra’s telephoto extender.

Oppo Find X9 Ultra promises a top-notch photography experience

According to Oppo Find Series product manager Zhuo Shijie, the idea of a “complete telephoto experience” begins with something that is always available. As mentioned above, the Find X9 Ultra is said to feature an integrated 10x optical zoom telephoto lens, developed in collaboration with Hasselblad. This built-in system is designed to capture moments instantly without requiring any additional accessories.

He explained that most real-life moments are fleeting, and users should not have to depend on external gear. Whether it is shooting sports or distant portraits, the built-in telephoto aims to deliver detailed output with a refined colour tone inspired by Hasselblad imaging.

For users who seek higher optical performance, Oppo is also working on an external telephoto kit. Unlike typical add-ons, this is positioned as a full-fledged optical system. It reportedly uses 16 precision glass elements to improve light intake and overall image clarity.

The external module is said to match the finish and design standards of Hasselblad lenses, offering a more premium and durable feel. When combined with the phone’s internal telephoto camera, especially the mid-range zoom lens, this setup is expected to deliver a higher level of image quality.

This dual approach reflects Oppo’s attempt to balance convenience and professional-grade performance. The built-in lens covers everyday needs, while the external kit caters to specialised use cases where maximum optical precision matters.

DJI Osmo Pocket 4 retail packaging reveals everything you need to know before launch

By

-

Apr 6, 2026

The DJI Osmo Pocket 4 has been leaking for a while now, but things are starting to look a lot more official. We now have the first high-resolution images of the retail packaging for the Osmo Pocket 4 Creator Combo and All-in-One Kit, along with core specs.

As you can see, the Osmo Pocket 4 packs a 1-inch sensor with up to 14 stops of dynamic range. There’s also 107GB of built-in storage, paired with transfer speeds of up to 800MB/s, and notably, no visible microSD card slot this time around.

Images shared by leaker OsitaLV show both the standard package and the all-in-one bundle, with the rear of the box essentially acting as a full spec sheet. The Osmo Pocket 4 includes support for 10-bit D-Log, 2x lossless zoom (likely enabled by new hardware), and Intelligent Follow 7.0 for improved subject tracking.

Other listed features round out the specs. The pocket camera supports OsmoAudio quad-channel output, three-axis stabilization, and a rotatable touchscreen designed for flexible shooting angles.

None of this comes completely out of the blue; the specs align closely with a previously leaked quick-start guide. But seeing them printed on final retail packaging makes this the most concrete evidence yet that the Osmo Pocket 4 is already in mass production.

DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Creator Combo

The Creator Combo appears just as stacked. According to the packaging, it includes the camera itself alongside a long list of accessories: a gimbal clamp, threaded handle, mini tripod, wireless microphone transmitter, magnetic clip, windshields, fill light, extended lens, and multiple carrying options.

The box art also highlights the camera’s rotating display and showcases a sample shot of dramatic mountain scenes.

If the leaks are accurate, the wait won’t be long. Chinese distributors reportedly already have stock in hand, and multiple sources point to a global launch on April 20th, 2026, with availability in the US expected at the same time.

Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8 and Wide Fold clear BIS in India

By

Debasish

-

Apr 6, 2026

Samsung’s next foldables seem to be moving closer to launch, with a new round of certifications in India giving a clearer picture of what’s coming. The Galaxy Z Fold 8, Z Flip 8, and what appears to be a wider Fold variant have all shown up, along with a new pair of earbuds.

Battery units for these devices recently cleared India’s BIS certification, which usually happens fairly late in the process. The listings include multiple battery model numbers tied to the Fold 8, Flip 8, and the so-called Galaxy Z Wide Fold, though Samsung hasn’t officially confirmed that name yet. The new audio product is expected to be the recently leaked Galaxy Buds Able (model SM-U600).

The Galaxy Z Fold 8 and the wider Fold variant are both expected to move up to 5,000mAh batteries (advertised capacity). That would be a noticeable jump from the 4,400mAh Samsung has stuck with for a while. The Z Flip 8, on the other hand, is rumored to stay closer to its current setup, with a battery around 4,300mAh.

Charging could see a small upgrade too. The Fold 8 and Wide Fold are tipped to support 45W wired charging, while the Flip 8 may continue with 25W, which is more or less what we’ve seen before.

The Wide Fold is probably the most interesting part of this. Leaks suggest it could use a wider 4:3 aspect ratio when unfolded, which might make it feel a bit more like a tablet than the usual Fold design. It’s still early, but it does sound like Samsung is experimenting a little this time.

There were also a few extra battery model numbers listed that don’t clearly match any of the main devices. These could be test units or alternate versions, though it’s hard to say for sure.

With CAD renders already out and certifications now in place, the launch timeline seems to be lining up. Samsung is expected to unveil the new foldables sometime in July 2026. The appearance of the new earbuds in these listings adds to that. Details are still limited, but if they’re showing up here, there’s a good chance they’ll be announced around the same time.

Apr 5, 2026

Xiaomi has launched the Xiaomi Bluetooth Remote 2 Pro in China, focusing on simplifying how users interact with TVs and connected devices. The remote introduces NFC-based screen casting, allowing users to mirror their smartphone display to a TV with a single tap. This removes the need for navigating menus or pairing devices through multiple steps, which is common with standard casting methods.

The device supports Bluetooth 5.4, which Xiaomi says ensures stable and responsive connectivity. It is designed to work with a wide range of Redmi and Xiaomi TVs and TV boxes, making it a flexible option within the company’s ecosystem.

In terms of design, the remote follows a minimal layout with only essential buttons. It includes a dedicated AI voice assistant button for hands-free control. Xiaomi has kept the build slim and lightweight to improve comfort during extended use.

One of the practical additions is a customizable button. Users can assign specific functions based on their needs. For example, it can be set to switch between input sources, which is useful for setups with multiple devices such as gaming consoles, streaming boxes, or set-top boxes.

The remote is powered by a 300 mAh battery and charges via a USB Type-C port. This setup avoids the need for replaceable batteries and aligns with current charging standards used across devices.

Xiaomi has priced the Bluetooth Remote 2 Pro at CNY 99, which is roughly $14.38. There is no confirmation yet on a global release.

1. Design and Display

Build and Feel

Samsung Galaxy S26 brings a refined flagship feel with Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on both sides and an Armor Aluminum 2 frame. The IP68 rating adds strong durability, making it more reliable for long-term use. In contrast, Nothing Phone (4a) Pro leans toward a bold, expressive design with its aluminum unibody and signature mini-LED Glyph interface. However, IP65 protection feels slightly less reassuring. The Nothing device stands out visually, but Samsung feels more premium and durable in hand, especially for users who prioritize longevity over aesthetics.

Display Quality

The Galaxy S26 uses a Dynamic LTPO AMOLED panel with HDR10+ and strong brightness, delivering consistent colors and efficiency. The Nothing Phone (4a) Pro counters with a larger AMOLED display, a higher 144Hz refresh rate, and extremely high peak brightness. It feels more immersive and smoother, especially for content consumption and scrolling. However, Samsung’s tuning often appears more balanced and natural in real-world use.

Verdict

Nothing wins on visual flair and refresh rate, but Samsung offers a more premium build and reliable display tuning.

2. Specifications Including Battery

Performance

The Galaxy S26 is in a completely different league with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 / Exynos 2600 chips, delivering flagship-level speed, better AI handling, and long-term performance stability. The Nothing Phone (4a) Pro uses Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, which is solid for daily tasks but lacks the raw power for heavy gaming or future-proofing. Over time, Samsung’s performance advantage will feel more noticeable, especially with demanding apps.

Battery and Charging

Nothing Phone (4a) Pro clearly focuses on endurance, offering a larger battery (especially in India) and faster 50W charging. It feels more convenient for heavy users who need quick top-ups. Samsung’s battery is smaller with slower 25W charging, but its efficiency and wireless charging support add flexibility. Reverse wireless charging is also a premium touch missing on Nothing.

Verdict

Samsung dominates performance, while Nothing wins on battery size and charging speed. Overall, Samsung feels more future-proof.

3. Camera

Main and Secondary Lenses

Samsung Galaxy S26 delivers a well-balanced triple camera setup with a reliable 50MP main sensor, a dedicated telephoto lens with OIS, and an ultrawide with strong stabilization. It also supports 8K video and advanced HDR formats, making it more versatile for serious photography and videography. Nothing Phone (4a) Pro impresses with a 50MP periscope lens offering 3.5x zoom, which is rare in this segment, but its ultrawide sensor is weaker and video capabilities are more limited. Samsung’s consistency across lenses feels more polished.

Selfie Camera

Nothing offers a higher-resolution 32MP front camera, which may appeal to selfie-focused users. However, Samsung’s 12MP sensor with autofocus and 4K recording delivers more reliable results, especially in video and low light. It feels more tuned for real-world usage rather than just numbers.

Verdict

Nothing stands out with Periscope Zoom, but Samsung wins overall with better balance, video, and consistency.

4. Pricing

Samsung Galaxy S26 is priced around ₹88,000 (~$900), clearly targeting the premium flagship segment. Nothing Phone (4a) Pro comes significantly cheaper, making it a more accessible option for mid-range buyers. The price gap is substantial and immediately shapes the buying decision.

Value for Money

Samsung justifies its price with top-tier performance, longer software support (up to 7 years), better durability, and flagship-grade cameras. It feels like a long-term investment. Nothing Phone (4a) Pro, on the other hand, offers strong features like a periscope camera, a large battery, and a unique design at a lower cost, making it an excellent value for budget-conscious users. However, the shorter software support and weaker chipset slightly reduce long-term value.

Verdict

Nothing wins on affordability and value, but Samsung justifies its premium with longevity and flagship experience.

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

5. Conclusion

Samsung Galaxy S26 stands out with Samsung DeX, wireless DeX, flagship chipset, advanced camera system, and long-term software support. It feels like a complete premium ecosystem device. Nothing Phone (4a) Pro differentiates itself with its Glyph lighting system, bold design, larger battery, and periscope zoom, features rarely seen at its price point. It feels more experimental and visually unique.

Verdict

Samsung Galaxy S26 is the better choice for users seeking performance, longevity, and a true flagship experience. Nothing Phone (4a) Pro is ideal for those who want a standout design, strong battery life, and good features at a lower price. The decision ultimately comes down to budget versus long-term value, but Samsung clearly leads in overall refinement and future-proofing.

Disclaimer: This comparison is based on the specifications provided and is intended for general informational purposes. Actual performance, camera results, battery life, and overall experience may vary depending on real-world usage, software updates, and individual preferences.
