DJI Avata 360 hands-on images, full bundle pricing leaks ahead of March 26 launch

By

-

Mar 11, 2026

According to the latest information from leaker Jasper Ellens, several European retailer listings have revealed possible pricing for the upcoming DJI Avata 360 and its bundles. The base model is reportedly listed at €459, which would make it relatively affordable compared to other high-end 360-degree camera drones.

Several bundle options are also expected. One version, the Avata 360 Fly More Combo with the RC 2 controller, is said to cost €939. Another configuration, called the Motion Fly More Combo, includes the RC Motion 3 controller and Goggles N3, also priced at €939. A higher-end Premium Combo, which includes Goggles N3 and the RC 2 controller, is listed at around €1,159.

Accessories appear fairly reasonably priced as well. Leaked listings suggest the Intelligent Flight Battery may cost about €79, while replacement lens kits and propellers could be sold separately for around €21 and €9, respectively.

If these details are accurate, DJI may be aiming to compete directly with drones like the Insta360 Antigravity A1, particularly by keeping entry pricing relatively low while still offering features such as replaceable lenses and larger batteries.

A recent teasers from DJI also hints at some of the drone’s capabilities. The company described the Avata 360 as an “8K Flagship 360° Drone,” confirming support for 8K 360° video recording. The teaser also reveals a launch date of March 26, 2026, while current leaks suggest shipments in Europe could begin around April 9.

Meanwhile, a few hands-on images shared online have offered an early look at the drone’s design. The photos show a compact quadcopter with a protective propeller cage and a central camera system designed for dual-lens 360-degree capture.

The overall shape appears somewhat similar to the DJI Avata 2, although the frame looks slightly more protective.

OnePlus 15T appears in detailed hands-on images for the first time in multiple colors

By

-

Mar 11, 2026

OnePlus has finally shown its upcoming OnePlus 15T in public, giving fans an early look at the company’s next compact flagship. The phone appeared during a livestream, where OnePlus highlighted the design and some of the hardware features. From what we’ve seen so far, the company is clearly aiming to deliver strong flagship performance in a smaller, easier-to-handle phone.

The OnePlus 15T will be available in three colors: Pure Cocoa, Relaxing Matcha, and Healing White Chocolate. The white version seems to be the most distinctive. OnePlus is reportedly using a micro-arc oxidation process on both the metal frame and the rear panel to create a uniform white finish.

The other two colors use a more familiar AG frosted glass back, designed to keep fingerprints under control while maintaining a slightly matte texture. Overall, the design looks fairly minimal. The edges are rounded, and the camera module sits close to the back panel rather than sticking out dramatically.

OnePlus also spent some time talking about ergonomics. The phone measures around 71.82mm in width and weighs roughly 194 grams. The company claims the weight is evenly balanced, which should make the phone feel comfortable during longer use.

On the front, the OnePlus 15T features a 6.32-inch flat display with slim bezels. What’s more surprising is the battery. Despite the relatively compact size, the device is set to pack a 7,500mAh battery, which is unusually large for a phone in this category. Charging support includes 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging, along with bypass charging for gaming.

Camera details are still somewhat limited, but OnePlus confirmed an upgraded LUMO periscope telephoto lens. The rest of the camera setup hasn’t been fully detailed yet. Other features mentioned include a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, improved haptics, stereo speakers, and IP66, IP68, and IP69 ratings for water and dust resistance.

The OnePlus 15T is expected to launch in China later this month, with global availability likely to follow sometime after that. More official details should arrive soon.

Vivo X300 Ultra 200MP main and telephoto samples reveal up to 1600mm equivalent zoom

By

-

Mar 11, 2026

Vivo’s upcoming X300 Ultra is starting to appear more frequently in leaks and teasers, and the company is once again putting a strong focus on camera hardware. In the latest teaser, Vivo executive Han Bo Xiao shared early camera samples on Weibo.

The posts highlight the phone’s primary and telephoto camera, which uses the 200MP Sony LYT-901 and 200MP Samsung ISOCELL HPO sensor, respectively. Unlike many smartphones that stick closer to a 23–24mm focal length for the main camera, this one uses a 35mm equivalent lens for the main camera. The camera is tuned in collaboration with Zeiss, something Vivo has relied on heavily in its flagship models.

The sensor is reportedly capable of capturing about 30 percent more light per pixel compared to previous generations. Some of the shared images show strong details and fairly natural colors. The size of the main sensor is also quite large at 1/1.12 inches, which should help with low-light photography.

Vivo is also said to support external teleconverter accessories, allowing focal lengths around 200mm or 400mm. In one of the examples shared online, zoom levels equivalent to roughly 1600mm have been demonstrated, though that clearly involved heavy digital cropping.

Beyond cameras, the phone has also surfaced on Geekbench under model number V2562. The listing points to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, along with 16GB of RAM and Android 16. The benchmark scores themselves look fairly average, but that’s not unusual for early tests on a camera-focused device.

Vivo hasn’t confirmed an exact launch date. However, a well-known Weibo tipster, Bald Panda, claims the X300 Ultra could arrive in China before the end of March 2026. Some speculation points to March 30 as a possible launch day.

By

-

Mar 11, 2026

Highlights:

US pre-orders for the Galaxy S26 series are nearly 25% higher than the Galaxy S25 series.
The Galaxy S26 Ultra accounts for about 80% of total US pre-orders.
The series recorded 1.35 million pre-orders in South Korea, a new Galaxy S record.

Samsung announced on March 10, 2026, that its Galaxy S26 series has started strongly in the United States, with pre-orders showing solid growth compared with the previous generation.

According to the company, Galaxy S26 series pre-orders in the US are nearly 25% higher than those of the Galaxy S25 lineup. The figures include orders placed through Samsung.com, major US carriers, and national retailers.

The data also shows that buyers are strongly favoring the Galaxy S26 Ultra, which represents around 80% of total pre-orders in the US. This suggests the top-end model is driving much of the early demand for the lineup.

Carrier channels recorded particularly strong momentum. Pre-orders through major US carriers increased by more than 70% compared with the Galaxy S25 generation, indicating strong interest through operator sales channels.

Retail performance also improved significantly. At major retailers such as Best Buy, Galaxy S26 pre-orders were more than double those of the Galaxy S25 series.

In South Korea, the Galaxy S26 series reached 1.35 million pre-orders, setting a new record for the Galaxy S series. For comparison, the Galaxy S25 lineup reached 1.3 million pre-orders in 11 days, while the Galaxy S26 series surpassed that figure in just 7 days.

Vivo X300s teased with largest battery in X series, larger VC, improved bypass charging, and more

By

-

Mar 11, 2026

Vivo has started teasing details about its upcoming vivo X300s, and battery life seems to be one of the main highlights this time. According to product manager Han Boxiao, the phone will feature a 7100mAh battery, the largest ever used in the company’s X-series lineup.

The battery is part of what Vivo calls its Blue Ocean Battery system. It uses Vivo’s fourth-generation silicon anode technology. The result is a noticeable increase in battery capacity, considering last year’s Vivo X200s packed a 6200mAh battery.

Cooling is another area where the company claims improvements. The X300s includes a larger vapor chamber cooling system, referred to as the Ice Pulse Fluid VC. Paired with a chip upgrade, it should help the phone maintain a higher stable performance during heavier workloads.

A few smaller upgrades have also been mentioned. The device will include an updated ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, which Vivo says is about 15% faster and can unlock the phone even with slightly wet fingers. The phone will also support USB 3.2 Gen1, allowing data transfer speeds of up to 5Gbps.

The bypass charging system now powers the device during everyday tasks like video streaming and reading articles, instead of being limited to gaming.

Vivo is also introducing new power-management solutions. One of them, called MicroPower Genie 2.0, is designed to restore apps or tasks if the phone suddenly shuts down due to low battery. That could be useful for things like unfinished photo edits or games.

On the hardware side, the X300s is expected to feature a 6.78-inch flat display with 1.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. Camera hardware appears fairly ambitious as well, with reports pointing to a 200MP main camera, alongside 50MP ultra-wide and 50MP periscope sensors. A 50MP front camera is also expected.

Other features include 90W fast charging, stereo speakers, an X-axis vibration motor, and IP68/IP69 water and dust resistance.

Vivo hasn’t announced an exact launch date yet, but the X300s is expected to debut in China soon, likely alongside other models in the X300 lineup. If the teasers are accurate, the device could stand out mainly for its unusually large battery in a flagship-level phone.

OPPO Find N6 Introduces Crease-Free Technology, Claims World’s Flattest Foldable Display

By

-

Mar 11, 2026

Highlights:

World’s flattest foldable display with a near “zero-feel” crease
Titanium alloy dome hinge reduces hinge undulation to just 0.1mm
Dome Memory Glass delivers 3× stronger durability with 99.9% shape restoration

OPPO has revealed the core technologies behind the OPPO Find N6, positioning it as the world’s flattest foldable smartphone. The company presented the new engineering breakthroughs during its Foldable Screen Crease-Free Technology Communication Conference, highlighting a series of innovations aimed at dramatically reducing the visible crease that has long been a limitation of foldable displays.

The main focus of the Find N6 is achieving a “zero-feel crease” display experience, where the fold line becomes almost imperceptible during everyday use. OPPO claims the new design significantly improves screen flatness compared to previous foldable devices, pushing the category closer to a truly seamless tablet-like display when unfolded.

At the center of this advancement is OPPO’s new-generation titanium alloy dome hinge. Unlike conventional three-axis hinge systems, the Find N6 uses a biomimetic symmetrical four-axis structure built with chip-level polymer 3D printing technology. This design reduces hinge surface undulation from 0.18mm to 0.1mm, helping the display maintain a flatter structure across the folding area while also improving the smoothness of opening and closing.

OPPO also introduced Dome Memory Glass, a new flexible glass technology designed to maintain screen flatness after repeated folding. The company says the material is more than three times stronger than traditional foldable glass and can restore 99.9% of its original shape after bending.

The device has passed 600,000 folding cycle tests and received TÜV Rheinland certification for crease performance, indicating strong durability alongside its improved flatness.

With these technologies, OPPO aims to push foldable displays closer to a truly crease-free design, potentially setting a new benchmark for the next generation of foldable smartphones.
