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 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’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.

Although both phones belong to the same series, they look quite different—and that’s perfectly reasonable given their different use cases. To accommodate the 1,200-lumen camping light on the back of the Fire 7 Pro, the DOOGEE logo has been moved to the very bottom of the rear panel.
By the way, while this camping light may look a bit like MagSafe, it is simply a standalone light with no magnets inside.
The back of the Fire 7 Ultra, on the other hand, is much cleaner, featuring only two contact pins near the bottom. What are these contacts for? That brings us to the packaging.
The Fire 7 Ultra comes in a much larger box, mainly because it includes more accessories. In addition to the usual manuals, charger, and cable, you also get a desktop charging base and a walkie-talkie headset. See those two contacts on the charging base? Through them, the Fire 7 Ultra can be charged at 10W.
The “Ultra” branding also extends to the speaker. This 3.5W speaker can reach a maximum volume of up to 125dB, making it easy to hear the other party clearly in virtually any environment.
The Ultra also has an extra button on the top that the Pro doesn’t. As its name suggests, pressing it activates SOS mode. You don’t have to worry about accidental presses—unless you really dig into it with your finger, you won’t be able to trigger it, no matter how hard you press it.
Aside from that, the remaining features are the same on both phones: triple card slots, NFC, an IP69K waterproof rating, and 8GB of RAM paired with 256GB of storage.
Walkie-Talkie
The PoC (Push-to-Talk over Cellular) walkie-talkie function is one of the Fire 7 series’ core features—and also one of its most controversial. When people hear “walkie-talkie,” their first reaction is often: outdoor signal coverage is poor, so why not just use a traditional radio? The answer is that these phones are not meant to replace your traditional walkie-talkies, but to serve as a backup solution that ensures you’re never completely out of contact.
The biggest advantage of Push-to-Talk over Cellular isn’t whether it works in places with absolutely no signal, but rather its communication range and management capabilities. With 4G or 5G network coverage, the walkie-talkie range of the Fire 7 series is essentially equal to the coverage of the cellular network itself. You can be on one side of a city and talk in real time with teammates dozens of kilometers away—or even in a different city altogether—something traditional walkie-talkies simply can’t achieve.
The Fire 7 Ultra is clearly the more professional tool when it comes to walkie-talkie performance. The included walkie-talkie headset connects via the contact pins on the side of the phone. Even in extreme environments such as heavy wind, engine noise, or fire scenes, it can still ensure clear and intelligible communication.
Battery Life
For rugged phones, battery life is always a key topic. In this regard, the Fire 7 Pro and Fire 7 Ultra continue DOOGEE’s long-standing “stack-the-specs” approach. Both phones are equipped with massive 13,000mAh batteries, enough to support multiple days of intensive outdoor use. If left on standby, they can last up to a month.
Both devices support 33W wired charging and 5W reverse charging. There is one area that could be improved: since the battery capacity is already larger than my power bank, it would be great if the reverse charging power were higher. That way, I could genuinely stop carrying an extra power bank to charge my other devices.
Other Features
In terms of core hardware, neither the Fire 7 Pro nor the Fire 7 Ultra aims for flagship-level performance. Instead, they opt for the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 platform, which prioritizes stability and power efficiency. This chipset is more than capable of handling navigation, PoC communication, multitasking, and everyday apps, while also helping to control heat and battery consumption.
Both phones feature a 6.6-inch display with a 90Hz refresh rate.
When it comes to cameras, both rely on a 64MP main sensor. The Fire 7 Pro stands out by adding a 20MP night vision camera, which is especially useful for camping or nighttime environments.
The Fire 7 Ultra, by comparison, focuses more on basic documentation and work-related evidence capture. Overall, this setup may not be flashy, but it’s stable, durable, and well aligned with the Fire series’ positioning as a tool-oriented phone.
Conclusion
The Fire 7 Pro and Fire 7 Ultra are not phones that try to please everyone. Their target users are clearly defined, and their roles are well differentiated. If you’re an outdoor enthusiast, a camping fan, or someone into hiking or light exploration, and you want a phone that can handle lighting, night photography, and quick team communication, the Fire 7 Pro offers a very appealing combination of features.
If you’re part of an off-road vehicle team, forestry patrol, or firefighting-related profession, and what you need is reliable walkie-talkie performance, clear command transmission, and dependable battery life, then the Fire 7 Ultra is clearly the tool designed for you. They may not be “value-for-money phones” in the traditional sense, but they do deliver on the promise of “All Tools, One Phone” in a very thorough way.
Samsung was quick to begin the One UI 8.5 beta program in early December, but unfortunately, it has remained exclusive to the Galaxy S25 series so far. The brand hasn’t even announced whether it will expand to more devices. Well, that could change soon, as preparation for the One UI 8.5 beta program has begun for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7.
Earlier this week, One UI 8.5 firmware files for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 were spotted on Samsung’s servers, but they don’t guarantee a beta release. The same has been spotted for dozens of Galaxy devices in recent weeks. What further solidifies the arrival of the One UI 8.5 beta for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 is that the tech giant has created One UI 8.5 beta program sections for these two devices on its Community forum (via). This strongly suggests that Samsung is preparing to begin the One UI 8.5 beta program for these phones soon.
Once the beta program is live, Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 owners will have a chance to get early access to the latest features and upgrades in One UI 8.5. Keep in mind that the seats are limited and fill up very quickly. So, you must apply for the beta program as soon as it opens. We’ll update you on the website when that happens.
The One UI 8.5 beta program for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 will likely be available in the same regions as the beta program for the Galaxy S25 series has been released. That includes South Korea, India, the US, the UK, Germany, and Poland.
Unlike regular updates, Samsung doesn’t notify you when the beta program for your Galaxy device goes live. You must check the Samsung Members app regularly to stay informed. Or, you can join our Telegram channel to get instant notifications about the latest One UI information, along with the biggest tech headlines.
Realme’s next number-series smartphone has started appearing in leaks months before its expected debut. A recent tip from a well-known source has hinted at the camera hardware that could arrive on the Realme 17 Pro+. Here’s a look at what the first leak about the 17 Pro series has revealed.
Realme 17 Pro+ camera details leak
Realme 17 Pro+ camera specs leak
According to Digital Chat Station, Realme has already finalized plans to introduce a new numeric-series phone in the second half of the year. Although the tipster did not explicitly mention the device name, the specifications discussed in the post strongly suggest that it could be the Realme 17 Pro+.
The leak indicates that the phone could feature a high-quality display, though details such as the panel size or resolution have not been revealed yet. It goes without saying that the camera system will be its major highlight, as the device is said to include a 200-megapixel Samsung HP5 sensor as the primary camera. Alongside it, the handset may include a 50-megapixel Samsung JN5 periscope telephoto camera that supports 3.5x optical zoom.
Interestingly, these sensors are already present on the Realme 16 Pro+. Because of this, the upcoming model may not bring a major overhaul to the main and telephoto cameras. The tipster also mentioned that the final lineup of the series is still being arranged, which means additional models could be introduced alongside the Pro+ variant.
Realme has been following a pattern of releasing two generations of its number-series phones each year. The company recently introduced the Realme 16 Pro and Realme 16 Pro+ in India, while some regions also received the standard Realme 16. If the same timeline continues, the next series may appear in the second half of 2026.
Earlier launches suggest that the Realme 17 Pro series could launch at the start of the second half of this year. For reference, the Realme 15 series debuted in July 2025, while the Realme 16 Pro lineup arrived in January this year.

With refined 3D floating antenna for ‘the best distance, pace, and route tracking performance ever’ and advanced running dynamics, it delivers lab-grade analytics directly to the wrist—bridging the gap between casual fitness trackers and professional coaching tools.
3. Honor Magic V6 – Best Foldable
Honor’s latest flagship foldable, the Magic V6, pushed two records: at 8.75 mm folded (4 mm open) it’s the thinnest foldable yet, and it packs a gargantuan battery (6,660 mAh) for all-day life.
It runs the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor with 16 GB RAM and 512 GB storage. The inner display is a 7.95-inch LTPO2 AMOLED panel with 2352×2172 resolution, 1–120 Hz refresh rate, and 5000-nit peak brightness. The outer display is a 6.52-inch LTPO AMOLED panel with 2420 × 1080 resolution and up to 6000 nits brightness. Both displays support stylus input. The phone includes high-frequency PWM dimming, anti-reflective coating that reduces glare by 33 percent, and true 10-bit color.
Honor engineered a new Super Steel Hinge (2800 MPa steel) tested for 500k folds and a reinforced Ultra-Thin Glass, while the crease is claimed to be “minimal, imperceptible.”
The camera setup includes a 50 MP main camera with OIS and variable aperture from f/1.4 to f/4.0, a 64 MP periscope telephoto camera with 3× optical zoom and OIS, and a 50 MP ultra-wide camera.
It runs MagicOS 10 based on Android 16 and will receive seven years of OS updates. Honor says the device is the first foldable to receive TÜV Rheinland certification for 24-hour battery life thanks to its silicon-carbon blade battery with 32 percent silicon.
The HONOR Magic V6 redefines what a foldable can be. By packing a groundbreaking 6660mAh silicon-carbon battery into a chassis just 4mm thin when unfolded, Honor has shattered the compromise between portability and endurance. Meanwhile, its rich AI software capabilities also give its large external display more versatile applications.
4. Lenovo ThinkBook Modular AI PC Concept – Best Concept
The Lenovo ThinkBook Modular AI PC Concept is a flexible laptop idea designed for business users. The base unit has a 14-inch display. Additional modules such as keyboards, ports, and extra displays attach using Lenovo’s Magic Bay pogo-pin connector system.
A second 14-inch display can attach to the lid for face-to-face viewing or sit beside the laptop as a vertical monitor. Removing the keyboard allows both displays to form a 19-inch dual-screen workstation.
Users can also swap I/O modules such as USB-A, USB-C, and HDMI without replacing the entire device. Lenovo designed the system with repairability and long product lifecycles in mind. Pricing and release plans have not been announced since it remains a concept.
The Lenovo ThinkBook Modular AI PC Concept is a manifesto for the future of personal computing, recognizing a bold reimagining of what a laptop can become.

7. Lenovo Legion Go Fold Concept – Foldable Gaming Handheld
The Lenovo Legion Go Fold Concept is a unique gaming handheld that takes advantage of advancements in foldable display technology, allowing it to function as a 3-in-1 device: a gaming console, a tablet, and a mini laptop.
When folded, it uses a 7.7-inch 1600p POLED display with detachable magnetic controllers. When unfolded, the display expands to 11.6 inches.
The device supports several modes. Standard handheld mode uses the 7.7-inch display. Vertical split-screen mode unfolds the display into two stacked panels so users can play a game on one side while viewing guides or chat on the other.
Horizon mode rotates the unfolded display into an 11.6-inch landscape gaming screen. Desktop mode allows the device to connect to a dock with a wireless keyboard and touchpad.
The system runs on an Intel Core Ultra 7 258V processor with 32 GB RAM and a 48 Wh battery. The right controller includes a touchscreen for shortcuts and performance stats. The device runs Windows 11 and supports PC game libraries. Since it is still a concept, Lenovo has not announced pricing or release plans.
Vivo has confirmed the launch date for its next budget-focused smartphone in India. The Vivo T5x 5G will be introduced on March 17, 2026, with the event scheduled for 12 PM IST. The phone is expected to succeed the Vivo T4x 5G, bringing a few notable upgrades aimed at users who want strong battery life and reliable everyday performance.
One of the biggest talking points is the battery. The T5x 5G is widely expected to pack a 7,200mAh battery, which the brand is marketing as the “Segment’s Biggest Battery.” The company is using silicon-carbon battery technology to help increase capacity without making the phone excessively bulky.
Charging support is rated at 44W wired fast charging. The phone is also expected to support reverse wired charging, along with bypass charging for situations like gaming.
Inside, the device will run on the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Turbo processor. The chipset has managed to cross the one-million mark on AnTuTu, which would put it comfortably in the upper tier of performance for this segment. On paper at least, it should handle multitasking and casual gaming without much difficulty. Durability is another area Vivo is highlighting. The phone is said to come with IP68 and IP69 ratings.
Camera hardware looks fairly straightforward. The rear setup includes a 50MP Sony IMX852 main sensor, which supports 4K video recording. On the front, the phone is expected to feature a 32MP selfie camera, which, if true, would be another notable upgrade over the 8MP selfie of the Vivo T4x.
Software will be based on Android 16, paired with OriginOS 6. The device is expected to receive two major Android updates along with four years of security patches.
As for pricing, Vivo hasn’t revealed anything yet. But early hints suggest the T5x 5G could launch under Rs 23,000. Once announced, it will be available through Flipkart, Vivo’s official online store, and retail outlets across India.
This month, OnePlus will unveil the OnePlus 15T, a compact flagship phone. In all likelihood, it will be the last phone in the OnePlus 15 series. The company will shift its focus to the OnePlus 16 lineup in the second half of 2026, and early reports suggest that the OnePlus 16 will offer top-notch performance. A new leak that has surfaced today not only supports this claim but also reveals a key detail about its camera.
OnePlus 16’s chipset, RAM, and periscope camera tipped
As per the leak, the OnePlus 16 will be powered by the upcoming 2nm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro (SM8975), which will have support for LPDDR6 RAM. Reports have revealed that LPDDR6 will roughly double the maximum bandwidth of the original LPDDR5, jumping from a peak of 6.4 Gbps to as high as 14.4 Gbps, while specifically optimizing for the massive data throughput required by on-device generative AI.
The inclusion of the said chipset accompanied by the latest RAM suggests that the OnePlus 16 will arrive with a significant boost in overall performance and efficiency. With rising memory costs, the inclusion of LPDDR6 also suggests a price hike. Recently, DCS claimed that the 12GB+256GB base model of the device may cost around 5,000 Yuan (~$725).
Multiple reports have said that the OnePlus 16 will be equipped with a 200-megapixel camera. Today’s leak says that the OP16 will feature a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera, which could feature the Samsung HP5 sensor as per previous reports. Likely, the camera setup may include two 50-megapixel cameras for the main and ultra-wide cameras, respectively.
Past reports have claimed that the OnePlus 16’s OLED panel may support 1.5K resolution along with a 200Hz or 240Hz refresh rate, and an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor. The phone is expected to ship with OxygenOS 17-based Android 17.
Early reports suggest that the OnePlus 16 may launch in October in China, followed by a global announcement in November.
