The race to launch the first smartphone powered by Qualcomm‘s next-generation chipset, the Snapdragon 8 Elite, has taken an unexpected turn.
While rumors have long been hinting that the Xiaomi 15 series will be the first to debut with the new Snapdragon chip, now it seems the OnePlus 13 might be the first to do so.
The plot twist comes from a teaser video posted by Snapdragon on its official Weibo account. The video doesn’t reveal much about the chipset itself, except that it will have Oryon CPU cores.
The main highlight, though, is a smartphone with a circular camera island in the top-left corner. It’s easy to guess this is a OnePlus phone, as this design has been a hallmark of OnePlus since the OnePlus 11.
Is OnePlus 13 the first to launch with Snapdragon 8 Elite?
Digital Chat Station, the reputable tipster has also weighed in to add some interesting details. First, they confirmed the official name of the next-gen chip—Snapdragon 8 Elite (though the Chinese translations may suggest “Extreme Edition,” that’s just a mistranslation).
More interestingly, the tipster pointed out that the phone shown in Qualcomm’s teaser is a Snapdragon 8 Elite prototype with a design similar to the OnePlus 13. This naturally raises the question—could OnePlus be the first to launch with the Snapdragon 8 Elite?
Even the tipster refrains from outright confirmation. DCS states, “It’s not hard to doubt it, so can OnePlus get the first release?” This leaves room for interpretation.
It’s important to note that this remains speculation, and neither OnePlus nor Qualcomm has officially commented on the launch timeline for the Snapdragon 8 Elite or the device featured in the teaser.
However, the wait for confirmation shouldn’t be long, as we are likely to see the first Snapdragon 8 Elite phone, whether from OnePlus or Xiaomi, this month. We will keep you posted on any updates.
Vivo has officially announced that the X200 series will be launched at 7pm on Oct. 14 in China. This new series not only brings significant upgrades but also debuts the MediaTek Dimensity 9400, the first 3nm chip in the Android ecosystem, built on TSMC’s 3nm process. MediaTek has also confirmed that it will announce its next-generation chip on Oct. 9 in China. Although the Taiwanese tech giant has not made a specific announcement, it seems that they will unveil the all-new Dimensity 9400 tomorrow.

A highlight of the X200 Pro is that it will flaunt a 200-megapixel f/2.67 85mm periscope telephoto lens with a V3+ imaging chip, covering focal lengths from 15mm to 85mm. It is the same periscope telephoto lens that’s available on the Vivo X100 Ultra.
The X200 Pro and X200 Pro Mini are both expected to come equipped with the Sony LYT818 f/1.57 23mm main sensor. For optically zoomed shots, the X200 Pro Mini is expected to feature a 70mm mid-telephoto periscope lens.
According to reports, the X200 will come with a 50-megapixel Sony IMX921 primary camera and a 50-megapixel Sony IMX882 (or LYT-600) telephoto camera. All three phones are expected to feature a 50-megapixel Samsung JN1 lens for ultra-wide shots.
Oppo is set to launch the Find X8 series devices this month. However, that’s not the only new product lineup the company will launch this month. The mid-range Oppo K12 Plus will be launched on October 12, positioned as a device that focuses on battery life and performance.
The Oppo K12 was launched in April this year with the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip. The upcoming phone has already appeared on Geekbench with a single and multi-core score of 744 and 2573 respectively.
Oppo K12 Plus specifications:
The phone packs a 6.7-inch FHD+ AMOLED display on the front and a 6400 mAh battery inside, which supports 80W fast charging. However, despite packing a massive battery, the phone maintains a sleek form factor, measuring 162.47×75.33×8.37mm and weighing only 193 grams.
While the company hasn’t revealed much about the phone yet, it was previously rumored to equip the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3, the same chip that is used by the standard model. However, the moniker suggests that there could be a performance improvement, which can be achieved with better thermal management and a different software tuning. Nonetheless, nothing is concrete about it, and readers should take it with a pinch of salt.
The overall design language of the Plus model is also expected to resemble the one the company released in April this year. To give you a clearer picture of what to expect, here’s a rundown of the Oppo K12‘s specifications.
The K12’s display reaches a peak brightness of 1100 nits and has an FHD+ resolution, which translates into a pixel density of 394ppi. This phone packs UFS 3.1 fast storage chips and comes in a total of three storage and memory configurations: 256GB 8GB RAM, 256GB 12GB RAM, and 512GB 12GB RAM.
Speaking of cameras, the K12 packs a 50MP + 8MP dual camera setup on the back, paired with a 16MP selfie shooter.
When it comes to powering up the device, it supports 100W wired fast charging, so users can expect a similar (if not faster) charging speed with the Plus model.
The upcoming Oppo Find X8 series and Vivo X200 series of flagship phones, slated for launch later this month, will arrive with many exciting features. Among them is support for innovative off-network communication capabilities. However, the principles and technologies behind these features differ significantly between the two brands.
Find X8 series’ off-network communication
Oppo Find X8 off-network communication
Oppo’s off-network communication feature, dubbed BeaconLink globally, was first introduced with the Oppo Reno 12 series of smartphones. It is built on Bluetooth 5.4 technology, which includes new characteristics such as bidirectional communication without a direct connection, enabling devices to communicate within a certain range without the need for an internet connection.
This feature is designed for short-distance communication, with an effective range of a few hundred meters. This makes it suitable for scenarios where users need to stay connected without relying on traditional network infrastructure.
Vivo X200 series’ off-network communication
Vivo X200
Vivo’s Vice President and General Manager of Brand and Product Strategy, Jia Jingdong has confirmed that the X200 series will be equipped with an off-network communication feature utilizing LoRa (Long Range) technology, distinct from WiFi and Bluetooth. LoRa operates similarly to a walkie-talkie, using specific frequency bands that allow for longer communication ranges, spanning several kilometres.
This makes it particularly useful in environments where traditional network connectivity is unavailable or unreliable. LoRa’s extended range offers a significant advantage for users needing robust communication capabilities over greater distances.
Launch Dates and Global Availability
The Oppo Find X8 and Find X8 Pro are slated for launch on Oct. 21 in China. These devices have already received multiple certifications globally, indicating that they will be available in various markets outside of China by the end of the year.
Meanwhile, the Vivo X200, X200 Pro, and X200 Pro Mini are expected to debut on Oct. 14 in China. The X200 series is likely to be released globally in the first quarter of 2025.
Honor introduced the X50 smartphone in July last year. More than a year later, the company seems finally ready to launch its successor, the Honor X60. A recent leak has now revealed the front design and key specifications of the upcoming phone.
The leak, shared by a Weibo user, includes an image of the Honor X60’s About phone page. Here, we can see the phone with a flat screen, unlike the curved display of its predecessor. The punch-hole cutout on the front also seems a bit bigger this time around.
Honor X60 Specifications
As for the specifications, the Honor X60 features a 6.8-inch FHD+ screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. It’s powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7025 chipset, while its predecessor used the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 SoC.
Both chipsets use a combination of Cortex-A78 and Cortex-A55 CPU cores. The Dimensity 7025 features 2×2.5 GHz Cortex-A78 and 6×2.0 GHz Cortex-A55 cores, while the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 has 4×2.2 GHz Cortex-A78 and 4×1.8 GHz Cortex-A55 cores.
On paper, the Snapdragon should perform slightly better and should also be more efficient due to its 4nm manufacturing process, compared to the 6nm process on the Dimensity 7025.
The device ships with 12GB of RAM (expandable virtually up to 12GB) and 256GB of internal storage. On the software side, it runs MagicOS 8, based on Android 14.
For the camera, the “About phone” page only lists a 108MP main rear lens with an f/1.75 aperture, but there’s no information about the additional lenses. On the front, it has an 8MP camera with an f/2.0 aperture.
All this is kept on by a hefty 5800mAh battery that will be refueled by a 35W charger. The battery and charging speed are the same as the Honor X50, so you can expect a 50% charge in just 30 minutes.
Despite the large battery, the phone is still quite compact and lightweight. It measures 8mm thick and weighs just 189 grams.

Deliveries are expected to begin on October 23, allowing early supporters to experience the new cooking solution before it hits the general market. Let’s check out its key specs.
Xiaomi Mijia 6L Electric Hot Pot Specifications:
The Mijia 6L Multi-Functional Electric Hot Pot features a spacious 6-liter capacity, making it suitable for family meals or guests. Xiaomi has integrated advanced heating technology that ensures even cooking, with a temperature difference of less than 2°C across the cooking surface.
The appliance comes with a detachable body, which easily separates from the base. This makes it simple to clean up after meals, as the pot can be lifted off the heating base without any hassle. It is constructed with a food-grade non-stick inner pot and resists sticking even during tasks like frying or grilling, making it a versatile tool for a variety of cooking techniques.
The Mijia 6L Electric Hot Pot features a powerful 2000W wing-shaped heating element that can boil 2 liters of water in just 7 minutes. It offers six adjustable heat settings for various cooking needs: 400-600W for gentle soups, 800W for warming, 1200W for slow cooking, 1600W for even cooking, and 2000W for quick boiling, making it ideal for fast meal preparation.
To add even more convenience, Xiaomi has equipped the appliance with eight preset cooking programs. These include options for Mixed Boil, Fresh Meat, Seafood, Bone Meat, Vegetables & Mushrooms, Frozen Foods, Noodles, and a Custom setting.
Each program allows users to customize cooking times, and the appliance automatically stops heating once the set time is reached, reducing the risk of overcooking and helping to conserve energy. Furthermore, the hot pot’s intelligent memory function remembers the initial cooking times for each preset, making it easy to recreate meals with a single touch.
Xiaomi has also focused on safety and usability. It includes a 1.4-meter power cord, giving users flexibility when placing it in the kitchen. The tempered glass lid allows for easy monitoring while cooking, and heat-resistant handles ensure safe handling.
Additionally, the hot pot is equipped with non-slip foot pads, which provide stability on countertops, and a dry-burn protection feature that prevents overheating when the pot is empty.
Xiaomi recently launched two new Mijia home appliances as well featuring its HyperOS: the Mijia Pro Cross 508L Refrigerator and a new Mijia Air Conditioner. The Mijia Pro Cross 508L Refrigerator offers a slim design, while the Mijia Air Conditioner includes top airflow and self-cleaning functions, enhancing convenience and efficiency in the home.
October is the battle month for several 2024 flagships including the vivo X200 series, Xiaomi 15 series, Oppo’s Find X8 series and Honor’s Magic 7 series. However, Q4 isn’t entirely reserved for flagships. Now Weibo tipster “看山的叔叔” reveals some key details about the Huawei Nova 13 and Nova 13 Pro.
Although he claimed the specifications were for the Honor Magic 7 series, based on previous rumors, it’s safe to assume that they belong to the Nova 13 and Nova 13 Pro. The discussion in the comments section also supports this.
Huawei Nova 13 specifications:
The Huawei Nova 13 is expected to come in four different color options: Starry Black, Green, Feather White, Feather Purple. The phone will offer a glass back and under-display optical fingerprint scanner in the front.
Speaking of cameras, there is a 60-megapixel shooter in the front and a 50-megapixel + 8-megapixel combo on the rear. The phone will reportedly come in two different storage and memory configuration–12GB+256GB and 12GB+512GB, and will support 100W fast charging.
Nova 13 Pro:
The Pro model is also expected to adopt the same 100W fast charging support, under-display optical fingerprint scanner, and glass back.
However, alongside the 12GB+256GB and 12GB+512GB variants, a 12GB+1TB option will also be available for the Pro model.
Speaking of cameras, the 60-megapixel selfie shooter will be accompanied by another 8MP camera. The rear camera setup includes 50MP (RYYB) + 12MP + 8MP lens combination—one extra lens than the base model.
According to a previous leak from Fixed Focus Digital, the Nova 13 series could launch as soon as on October 22. For context, Huawei launched the Nova 12 series towards the end of December last year.
In terms of performance, the phones are expected to feature the Kirin 9010 SoC, which was announced on April 18, 2024, as part of Huawei’s Pura 70 series. The chipset reportedly boasts a 12-core architecture (2+6+4), with TaiShan V121 cores for performance and mid-range tasks, and Cortex-A510 cores for efficiency.
The Amazon Prime Day sale has just kicked off in the US bringing great deals across various different products. Gadgets are also seeing a catchy discount, with the Samsung Galaxy A15 5G being one of the best budget phones right now. For under $200, here’s why it is a great deal.
Samsung Galaxy A15 5G: What’s the deal?
As of right now, the Galaxy A15 5G is on sale on Amazon for just $180. This deal is for the 4GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage variant. Just last month, the same model went on special sale in India as well. Despite its affordable pricing, buyers get access to a 6.5-inch Super AMOLED display that supports FHD+ resolution, a 90Hz refresh rate, and 800 nits of peak brightness. A large 5,000mAh battery pack powers this model, which supports 25W wired fast charging as well.
Samsung Galaxy A15 5G
Under the hood, it is equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 6100+ SoC, which supports 5G networking. Even the storage can be expanded by up to 1TB via a microSDXC card slot (hybrid dual nano SIM slot). For optics, you get a 50-megapixel main camera with a 5-megapixel ultra wide angle lens, and a 2-megapixel macros shooter. Meanwhile, the front houses a 13-megapixel camera for selfies and video calls. Other notable features a side mounted fingerprint scanner, Bluetooth 5.3, Android 14 OS based One UI 6.1 custom skin out of the box, and up to 3 major Android updates.
The Galaxy A15 5G being so affordable means that Samsung did cut some corners, which is evident with the plastic back and plastic frame. But a 5G phone with an OLED screen and decent specs for under $200 is still a great deal for those on a tight budget. So if you’re looking for a no-nonsense phone with a decent package of specs and features. Samsung’s Galaxy A15 5G might be the one for you.
Update, October 9, 2024: Google has removed the sentence in question, stating that a mistake was made. However, we don’t know if this leak is real or just a mistake. There is still a possibility that the Galaxy S25 will still feature a Dimensity 9400 processor. We’ll see this at the Galaxy Unpacked launch event in January. Of course we would like the Galaxy S25 to have the Dimensity 9400. Because, we don’t think the Exynos 2500 will satisfy users.
Original article, October 7, 2024: Galaxy S25 series may have MediaTek Dimensity 9400! An interesting detail emerged in the statement made by Google Deepmind on September 26. If this is as we expected, the Galaxy S25 and S25+ will come with the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 SoC. This will be a huge improvement compared to Samsung’s Exynos chips. Hopefully, we can see MediaTek’s flagship chips instead of Exynos SoCs. Now let’s get into the details of this story.
Will the Galaxy S25 and S25+ come with MediaTek Dimensity 9400?
Google fuels speculation that the Galaxy S25 series will come with MediaTek Dimensity 9400. In Google Deepmind’s September 26th statement, AlphaChip was mentioned at length. But this is not the important point for us. The important explanation for us appears at the very end of the article. And the description says this: External organizations are also adopting and building on AlphaChip. For example, MediaTek, one of the top chip design companies in the world, extended AlphaChip to accelerate the development of their most advanced chips – like the Dimensity Flagship 5G used in Samsung mobile phones – while improving power, performance, and chip area.
Especially pay attention to this part: “like the Dimensity Flagship 5G used in Samsung mobile phones”. Samsung has never used a Dimensity 9000 series chip in its flagship smartphones. Now we come to the real surprise. If there is no mistake in this statement, this means that Galaxy S25 and S25+ models will come with Dimensity 9400 SoC in the global market.
Samsung has always used Exynos and Snapdragon SoCs in its flagship smartphones, the Galaxy S series. But it seems clear that things will change with the Galaxy S25 series. For the first time, Samsung will use a Dimensity 9000 series chip in its smartphones. This is excellent and means that we will get rid of problems like Exynos’ inefficiency and low performance.
Samsung used the Dimensity 9300+ SoC in the recently announced Galaxy Tab S10 series and did not use Snapdragon flagship chips. All previous Galaxy Tab S flagships had Qualcomm processors. This is an indication that the brand will also use MediaTek flagship processors in its smartphones.
It’s not possible to say anything for sure yet, but the statement made by Google Deepmind confirms that the Galaxy S25 and S25+ models will come with the Dimensity 9400 processor. Considering that Exynos 2500’s efficiency problems have been rumored in recent days, this really makes sense.

In other news, Anker has recently launched the Liberty 4 Pro TWS earbuds, featuring a seven-sensor system that includes six microphones and a barometer for exceptional noise cancellation. The innovative recalibration technology adjusts every 0.3 seconds to adapt to changing environments. The charging case has a touch bar and display for easy settings adjustment, with a battery life of up to 40 hours.
According to the tipster, the iQOO 13 will measure less than 8.1 mm thick. That’s similar to its predecessor, which also measures 8.1mm. But the upcoming phone might offer improved durability as it may come with an IP68 water and dust resistance rating, an improvement over the IP64 rating of the iQOO 12.
It’s also expected to feature ultrasonic fingerprint recognition for biometrics, a flat display with a small punch-hole cutout for selfies, and chamfered edges on the frames.
Moving on, the leak suggests the phone will support 100W PPS fast charging, similar to the Vivo X100 series. The included charging adapter is said to support both 100W PPS and PD charging and will use a Type-C to Type-C connector.
Another tip from the insider is about the display. They suggest the iQOO 13 will use a “better panel than BOE X2 Oriental screen,” which is expected to be used in the upcoming OnePlus 13.
While unconfirmed, a previous report suggests that the device will feature BOE’s latest OLED display with 33% more panel life and a 10% reduction in power consumption.
iQOO 13 Specifications
Apart from this, the iQOO 13 is expected to pack the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC. The camera department could see a triple-sensor setup with a 50MP Sony IMX921 main sensor, a 50MP Samsung ISOCELL JN1 ultrawide lens, and a 50MP IMX826 telephoto lens with 2x zoom.
Moreover, the phone will have RAM options reaching up to 16GB and storage up to 1TB. A large battery was also mentioned, though specific details remain under wraps.
iQOO itself hasn’t confirmed anything about the iQOO 13, but considering the continuous stream of leaks, a launch date shouldn’t be too far off. We will keep you in the loop for any new updates.
Xiaomi‘s ambitious foray into the automotive market is gathering pace. The tech giant’s high-performance electric SUV, the SU7 Ultra, has been making headlines with its impressive specifications and potential launch timeline.
Recently, the SU7 Ultra prototype made headlines after completing a successful run at the Nürburgring Nordschleife, a notoriously challenging track often used for testing high-performance vehicles. This feat not only showcased the vehicle’s capabilities but also hinted at its imminent official launch. The prototype will officially attempt the Nürburgring circuit again in October this year.
According to reports, Xiaomi is planning to unveil the production version of the SU7 Ultra in the first quarter of 2025. The anticipation for this launch has been further fueled by unexpected sightings within the Xiaomi Auto App. Users discovered configuration options for the SU7 Ultra prototype, although these options were mysteriously removed shortly after.
The SU7 Ultra is poised to redefine the electric SUV segment with its cutting-edge technology and exceptional performance. Crafted with a full carbon fiber body, the vehicle boasts a remarkably low weight of 1900 kg, contributing to its impressive acceleration and top speed.
Under the hood, the SU7 Ultra houses a powerful electric drivetrain that delivers a combined output of 1548 horsepower. This translates to exhilarating performance, with the SUV capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 1.97 seconds and reaching a top speed exceeding 350 km/h. The braking system is equally impressive, with a stopping distance of 25 meters from 100 km/h.
Xiaomi has scheduled a significant launch event for the end of October, during which they will introduce the Xiaomi 15 series and Xiaomi Pad 7 series, alongside other anticipated products. This event may also shed light on the SU7 Ultra’s journey, as well as the broader Xiaomi EV roadmap.
Xiaomi’s electric vehicle, the SU7, achieved impressive sales of around 16,000 units in September, marking the fourth consecutive month of surpassing 10,000 units. The company, aiming to reach a 20,000-unit target in October, has optimized production lines with AI and smart manufacturing to enhance efficiency. Competing with Tesla’s Model 3 and Model Y, the SU7 appeals to consumers with its affordability, advanced technology, and AI driving assistance.
