Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra has just appeared on the Geekbench benchmarking platform and it clears up any uncertainty about its processor choice.
The Geekbench listing shows that the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra, with the model number SM-X926B, will feature the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ processor.
But there was still a lingering possibility that the top-of-the-line Tab S10 Ultra might feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. However, this new benchmark listing confirms otherwise.
The Geekbench listing shows the Tab S10 Ultra with a familiar configuration for the Dimensity 9300+. This includes a cluster of four cores operating at 2.0GHz, three cores at 2.85GHz, and a single high-performance core clocked at 3.40GHz. The graphics duties will be handled by the Mali-G720-Immortalis MC12 GPU.
Performance-wise, the Tab S10 Ultra scored 2,141 points in the single-core test and 5,533 points in the multi-core test. The benchmarked device was equipped with 12GB of RAM and ran on the Android 14 operating system.
While performance benchmarks shed light on the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra’s capabilities, details about other aspects of the tablet are still under wraps.
However, based on previous leaks, the tablet is expected to keep a similar look to its predecessor, including its dimensions and front camera placement. It will also likely retain the 14.6-inch display.
Samsung is likely to unveil the Galaxy Tab S10 series, including the Ultra model, in early 2025, alongside the Galaxy S25 series. Further details regarding pricing, availability, and additional features will likely come out closer to the official launch date.
The specs of Honor X60i have been leaked earlier, and the phone was even spotted in the TENAA certification. Now, Honor has officially started pre-orders for Honor X60i, with the phone set to arrive on July 26.
Honor X60i
While Honor hasn’t announced the price of the Honor X60i on their official website yet, they have revealed the color options. If you want to get your hands on the phone early, you’ll need to register with your Honor account. The phone comes in Phantom Black, Coral Purple, Moon White, and Cloud Blue.
Honor X60i color options
Honor X60i comes with a design similar to the iPhone, featuring boxy curved edges and the selfie camera notch. Although the official website hasn’t released the full specs, previous leaks indicated the phone might be 7.18mm thick, which is even thinner than the 7.8mm iPhone 15. It’s great to see a phone that thin with 5000 mAh battery and 35W charging.
Honor X60i will feature the MediaTek Dimensity 6080 chipset. It’s expected to come in three configurations: 8GB+256GB, 12GB+256GB, and 12GB+512GB. The phone also boasts a 6.7-inch FHD IPS display. It will have a dual-camera setup with 50MP and 2MP sensors, and an 8MP selfie shooter on the front. Previous pricing leaks suggested that the starting price of Honor X60i will be $235 USD.

Moto G85 5G specs:
The Moto G85 5G features a 6.67-inch pOLED 10-bit display with curved edges, offering FHD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a peak brightness of 1,600 nits. The display includes a fingerprint scanner and is protected by Gorilla Glass 5. The phone has a slim design and comes in three colors with a vegan leather back panel.

OnePlus 11R is a popular mid-range smartphone that’s currently available for just under Rs. 30,000. It looks good on the spec sheet. However, several brands are offering very competitive smartphones at similar pricing.
If you’re looking to purchase the OnePlus 11R, make sure to check out these four best alternatives to make a better purchase decision.
Let’s quickly recall the OnePlus 11R via the spec sheet below:
OnePlus 11R
Body
163.4 x 74.3 x 8.7 mm 163.4 x 74.3 x 8.7 mm (Solar Red) 204 g 202 g (Solar Red)
Display
6.74″ 120Hz Super Fluid AMOLED 1240 x 2772 pixels resolution 450 PPI, HDR10+, 1450 nits (peak)
Poco F6 is much superior to the OnePlus 11R in terms of performance, thanks to the flagship Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip. In fact, it’s the only phone in the Rs. 30-35K price range to feature this powerful chip.
The Poco F6 has a 6.67-inch AMOLED screen with a 1.5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate support. It supports 68 billion colors, HDR10+, and a peak brightness of 2400 nits. Compared to the OnePlus 11R, the Poco phone has a slightly smaller screen but 68 times more colors and a higher peak brightness for better visibility outdoors. Plus, it has Gorilla Glass Victus protection.
Both smartphones have a 50MP primary camera, but the OnePlus 11R has a newer Sony IMX890 sensor (vs. IMX882 on the Poco F6). The OnePlus phone may output better photos and videos. Both phones also have an 8MP ultrawide lens. However, the OnePlus 11R also has an additional 2MP macro shooter.
Both the OnePlus 11R and Poco F6 can record up to 4K videos at up to 60 frames per second (fps). There’s a 20MP selfie camera on the Poco F6 for selfies and video calls, whereas the OnePlus 11R has a 16MP camera.
Both phones can record up to 1080p video with its selfie camera, but the Poco F6 supports higher fps.
The Poco F6 and OnePlus 11R have the same set of connectivity features, except for a newer Bluetooth standard on the Poco F6. The batteries inside them have the same 5,000mAh capacity. However, the OnePlus phone has a little faster wired charging support.
In short, the Poco F6 has a better display and performance than the OnePlus 11R. However, the camera setup is slightly better on the OnePlus 11R, but the Poco F6 can also take good shots.
The iQOO Neo 9 Pro is another excellent alternative to the OnePlus 11R, featuring a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip. It’s more powerful than the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1-powered OnePlus 11R. So, the performance is better on the Neo 9 Pro.
The OnePlus 11R and iQOO Neo 9 Pro have nearly the same screen size, although they differ greatly. For instance, the iQOO phone has a higher screen refresh rate, peak brightness, and more pixels. Notably, it has an LTPO panel that automatically adjusts the refresh rate to offer maximum smoothness while saving the battery. iQOO Neo 9 Pro takes the lead here, again.
Both smartphones feature a 50MP primary camera on the back, but the iQOO Neo 9 has a better Sony IMX sensor than the OnePlus 11R. They also have an 8MP ultrawide sensor. However, there’s an additional 2MP macro camera on the OnePlus 11R.
The iQOO Neo 9 Pro can record up to 8K videos but is limited to 4K on the OnePlus phone. Both phones have a 16MP sensor for selfies and video calls that can record up to 1080p videos.
The iQOO Neo 9 Pro has a slightly larger battery with support for faster-wired charging compared to the OnePlus 11R. Hence, more screen time and less charging time on the iQOO phone.
This iQOO phone starts at around Rs. 38,000, slightly costlier than the OnePlus 11R. If it goes out of your budget, consider checking out the iQOO Neo 7 Pro.
3. Realme GT 6T
Realme GT 6T
Display
6.78″ 120Hz LTPO AMOLED 1264 x 2780 pixels resolution 6000 nits (peak) Gorilla Glass Victus 2
Realme GT 6T is better than the OnePlus 11R in many ways. Firstly, it has the benefit of an LTPO panel and a peak brightness of 6000 nits (vs. 1450 nits on the OnePlus 11R).
The Realme GT 6T phone is powered by a Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chip. At first, it might seem like a downgrade to the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1-powered OnePlus 11R, but that’s not true, thanks to Qualcomm for a confusing naming scheme. The Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 actually performs better than the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 because of better CPU cores.
The Adreno 732 GPU in the SD 7+ Gen 3 is also better than the Adreno 730 inside the SD 8+ Gen 1. The combination of a faster CPU and GPU makes the Realme GT 6T a good choice over the OnePlus 11R for performance-friendly people.
Both the OnePlus 11R and Realme GT 6T have a 50MP primary rear camera, although they use different sensors. For example, the OnePlus phone uses the Sony IMX890, and the Realme GT 6G has a Sony LYT-600 sensor. They also feature an 8MP ultrawide sensor. However, the OnePlus 11R also has an additional 2MP macro camera.
The 32MP selfie camera (2X resolution of the OnePlus 11R) can record up to 4K videos but is limited to 1080p on the OnePlus 11R. The Realme GT 6T has the advantage of a bigger battery with faster wired charging support.
For those who want to remain loyal to OnePlus and prioritize battery and performance over camera, the OnePlus Nord 4 can be a good choice over the OnePlus 11R.
The display is largely the same on both phones except for a higher peak brightness on the Nord 4.
The OnePlus Nord 4 has a Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 SoC, which is more powerful than the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 used in the OnePlus 11R.
Both smartphones have a 50MP primary camera + 8MP ultrawide camera on the rear side. However, the OnePlus 11R has an additional 2MP macro shooter. The phones also have a 16MP selfie camera.
The OnePlus Nord 4 has a bigger battery than the OnePlus 11R, although the charging speed remains unchanged.
The connectivity features are the same on both phones except for a newer Bluetooth standard on the Nord 4. However, there’s a big difference in the software update policy. The OnePlus 11R ships with Android 13 and is promised three years of Android updates and four years of security updates. The Nord 4, on the other hand, comes with Android 14 and will get four years of Android updates and six years of security updates.

Which one of these phones is the best alternative to the OnePlus 11R? And, what are the three most important factors you consider when purchasing a phone? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
Realme will announce its next gen smartwatch model, the Watch S2, along with the Realme 13 Pro series in India later this month. Now, fresh teasers have revealed some of its key specs and features. This includes its impressive battery life and AI powered features.
Realme Watch S2 Teaser
The Realme Watch S2 has recently surfaced on official microsites on Flipkart and the brand’s official website. These also tease the upcoming smartwatches highlighting features. Previously, the wearable visited the FCC database with a 380mAh battery pack, which has now been confirmed. The company promises that this 30mAh cell will offer up to 20 days of battery life.
AI is employed in the device customization aspect. Users can choose from more than 110 sports modes that are analyzed with AI as well as create their own watch faces with AI. This technology is also used to improve the experience with the built in voice assistant. The Chinese brand announced a new Realme R-Pass will be arriving soon for an Early Bird offer. This will likely bring special launch offers to the buyers who purchase the Realme Watch S2 during the initial sale period.
The launch date and support for ChatGPT AI voice assistant were confirmed last week. But apart from this, finer details like its internal hardware are still at large. However, we know that it will sport a circular display with a golden rim, matching the Monet Gold on the Realme 13 Pro series. We can also see two buttons on the right side that are likely for navigation and other functionality. Like its predecessor, it would likely feature an AMOLED display and support GPS as well. You can click here to check out a leak we covered that revealed the Watch S2’s full design.
Just weeks before Google‘s official unveiling of the Pixel 9 series on August 13th, purported real-life images of the Pixel 9 Pro XL have surfaced on the XDA forums, shedding light on some of its internal configurations.
The leaked image shows the phone’s boot menu, confirming the Pixel 9 Pro XL will have a whopping 16GB Samsung LPDDR5 RAM. Before this, Pixel phones maxed out at 12GB of memory.
While this isn’t the first time we’ve seen an Android phone with 16GB of RAM, what’s noteworthy here is that it’s paired with only 256GB of storage. Typically, manufacturers pair higher RAM with higher-tier storage options like 1TB.
The reason for this choice isn’t clear yet, but it might be related to the increasing demands of on-device AI functionalities. Google has heavily focused on AI in recent Pixel iterations, and 16GB of RAM should help ensure these AI features run smoothly on the device.
Beyond the memory bump, the Pixel 9 Pro XL appears set to adopt Samsung’s latest Exynos 5400 baseband chip. It will replace the Exynos 5300 in the Pixel 8 series.
Samsung states that this chip supports the 3GPP Release 17 standard, enabling peak data transfer rates of up to 14.79Gbps. Exynos 5400 is also rumored to enable satellite communication features for the Pixel 9 smartphones.
The Pixel 9 Pro XL brings back the “XL” branding for the first time since the Pixel 4 XL in 2019. It’s expected to boast a stunning 6.7-inch OLED display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and sharp 1344 x 2992 resolution, all protected by Gorilla Glass Victus 2.
Around the back, the device will feature a triple camera setup with three 50MP sensors for the primary, wide-angle, and telephoto lenses. The telephoto lens is expected to offer up to 5x optical zoom. Keeping the device powered up will be a 5050mAh battery that will support 30W wired charging.
Following its launch in China earlier this month, Xiaomi is expected to release its first flip phone, the Mix Flip, globally. Although the company hasn’t officially confirmed this, tipster Chun on X (formerly Twitter) revealed earlier this week that the Mix Flip will be available internationally, though only in select markets.
The same tipster has now shared more details about the foldable phone. According to the leak, the Mix Flip will come in two color options globally: black and rose gold. This is a slight change from the three colors offered in China: black, white, and the special “Phoenix Feather Fiber Edition.”
Mix Flip global: 12/512 rose and black. EU and East/Southeast Asia launch soon
The leak also suggests that Mix Flip is expected to be available soon in the European Union and across East and Southeast Asia. However, it won’t be launched in India, as there is no mention of an Indian variant in Xiaomi’s servers, according to the tipster.
Perhaps most interesting is the rumored pricing. The leak says the Mix Flip will be priced around $100 cheaper than its main competitor, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6. With the Z Flip 6 starting at $1,099, this would position the Mix Flip around the $999 mark. The reason for the cheaper pricing is said to be the lack of wireless charging and the use of a conventional USB 2.0 port.
Mix Flip will be around $100 cheaper than Flip 6. Reasons: no wireless charging, USB 2.0
Specifications-wise, the Mix Flip boasts a standout 4.01-inch cover display, the largest in its category. This screen offers a 120Hz refresh rate, 1.5K resolution, and peak brightness of 3,000 nits. The internal main display matches these specifications at 6.86 inches.
Powering the device is the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, paired with up to 16GB RAM and 1TB storage. The imaging system includes a Leica-branded dual rear camera setup comprising a 50MP main OIS sensor and a 50MP floating telephoto unit. And for selfies, there is a 32MP lens housed in a punch-hole cutout A 4,780mAh battery with 67W fast charging keeps the lights on.
Vivo is working on the V40 series of smartphones that are set to launch in India soon. But ahead of any official announcement, the company’s upcoming devices have surfaced in another report. This has revealed its battery size and its IP rating.
Vivo V40 series leak
The news arrives from industry sources close to the matter who shared the information with 91Mobiles. Reportedly, the Vivo V40 series will launch in India as the slimmest phone with a large 5,500mAh battery pack. To recall, the lineup consists of the base Vivo V40 and the higher end Vivo V40 Pro. Sources also added that the two models will offer an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance.
This implies that the Vivo V40 launch in India could feature specs identical to the European version. While the sources did not explicitly state any difference between the V40 and V40 Pro in terms of battery capacity, there are likely upgrades in the Pro model. So the Vivo V40 Pro may support a higher fast charging rate. The report claims that the Vivo V40 lineup will be released in India in multiple color options, namely Ganges Blue, Lotus Purple, and Titanium Gray. Ganges Blue is a new color that could be exclusive to the country.
Apart from the IP rating, it was revealed that the Vivo V40 series will have a cushioning structure for durability. The devices could drop with a 3D curved display on the front, while the rear packs a new Infinity Eye Camera module. Based on what we know so far, the Vivo V40 series is set to launch with Zeiss cameras. These are the brand’s premium mid range offerings, which are expected to launch sometime next month. This is all the information we have at the moment, so stick around for more updates.
On July 13, Asus released the ROG Ally X gaming handheld in the Chinese market. This console, introduced globally last month, has many improvements over its predecessor, the ROG Ally Z1 Extreme model.

Hot on the heels of the iQOO Z9 Lite‘s launch, the company is gearing up to introduce new phones in India under the iQOO Z9s series. The news comes courtesy of a recent post by iQOO India CEO Nipun Marya on X (formerly Twitter).
Marya shared an official poster for the Z9s series today, simply stating, “The wait is over! Brace yourself for a fully loaded ‘Z’ vibe.” The poster also cryptically mentions being “fully loaded for the mega tasers,” hinting at a powerful processor for smooth performance.
The poster shows a smartphone with a boxy form factor and a glossy back panel. The camera module is positioned in the top-right corner and houses a triple-camera setup accompanied by a ring light. Notably, the design is quite similar to the existing iQOO Z9x launched in India a couple of months back.
The company is tight-lipped on the specifics of the phone though. However, as the launch draws closer, more information about the iQOO Z9s series is likely to emerge.
For now, let’s take a look at the specifications of iQOO Z9, currently the most specced unit in the lineup.
The iQOO Z9 5G comes with a 6.67-inch Full HD+ AMOLED panel complemented by a refresh rate of 120Hz along with 1800 nits of peak brightness. The handset is IP54 rated for dust and splash-resistant.
The phone is powered by a 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 7200 chipset, paired with a Mali-G610 GPU that improves all graphics-intensive tasks. This is paired with up to 8GB of LPDDR4x RAM and up to 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage. You can also go for up to 1TB of expandable storage using a MicroSD card slot.
Huawei‘s much-anticipated Nova 13 series smartphone launch has been pushed back, according to reliable industry tipster Digital Chat Station. The series, which was initially slated for an August debut, will now not be making an appearance.
Instead, the Chinese tech giant is gearing up to unveil a Nova-branded flip phone in its stead. While details about this new device remain scarce, the Nova line’s reputation for offering high-end features at competitive prices suggests a similar approach for the upcoming flip phone.
As for the delayed Nova 13 series, whispers hint at a few interesting specs. The Pro and Ultra models are rumored to feature satellite connectivity, a feature that has gained traction in recent times. Powering these devices could be the same flagship Kirin 9010 SoC that drives the recently launched Huawei Pura 70 series.
The Nova 13 series might also inherit the XMAGE camera branding currently found on Huawei’s Pura and Mate flagships. The series is also tipped to offer improved selfie photography with dual front-facing cameras.
Moving on to the display, leaks suggest a flat screen for the standard Nova 13, while the remaining models might sport a slightly curved design. All devices are rumored to offer a 1.5K resolution display, a comfortable middle ground between Full HD and Quad HD.
The Nova 13 series is also expected to come pre-installed with the HarmonyOS Next operating system. The rear camera system is said to include variable aperture technology for the main camera, with a periscope telephoto lens likely reserved for the higher-tier models. Although these details are unconfirmed, they suggest a potentially feature-rich mid-range offering.
While the delay in the Nova 13 series launch is undoubtedly disappointing for fans, the prospect of a Huawei-branded flip phone adds an intriguing dimension to the company’s smartphone portfolio. We will keep you updated on any new developments regarding these smartphones.

Xiaomi 15 series: What to expect

This news comes alongside insights into Netflix’s gaming strategy, which prioritizes learning from past experiences and keeping users engaged between seasons of their favorite shows.
Netflix will create a stronger library of titles using a data-driven approach

Looking beyond simply filling the gaps between seasons, Netflix sees games as a powerful tool for fan engagement. The company hinted at using games to introduce new characters, storylines, and plot points that could then be incorporated into future seasons or movies.
