Honor Magic V6 Experience: The New King of Foldables?

By

Mar 13, 2026

Introduction

This is the all-new HONOR Magic V6, the brand’s latest foldable flagship. What caught me off guard immediately was its release timeline. Launching a full quarter earlier than last year’s Magic V5 and making a global debut at MWC 2026, HONOR is clearly playing a different game this year. This raises an interesting question: Why is HONOR doubling down on the foldable market with such aggressive timing? Today, we’re diving deep to see what this device is truly capable of.

Design

From a design perspective, the Magic V6 doesn’t reinvent the wheel. It confidently refines the brand’s signature, unified design language with targeted upgrades. Our review unit features a sophisticated Champagne Gold finish—a subtle blend of gold and light brown that exudes understated elegance. It’s a color that prioritizes premium tactility over flashy, limited-edition hues, and personally, I find it far more appealing.

We measured the chassis thickness at precisely 9.6mm. While it’s marginally thicker than its predecessor, the Magic V5, the ergonomic, rounded frame makes this difference virtually imperceptible in daily use. Holding it feels remarkably close to a traditional slab flagship, shedding the bulk and heft typically associated with foldables. This is a significant achievement.

The rear camera module retains the iconic “Octagonal Star Track” design language first seen on the Magic V5. This year, the metal decorative ring has been slimmed down, creating a smoother, more seamless transition between the module and the back cover. As you tilt the device, light catches the precision-machined details on the module, showcasing a mechanical accuracy befitting its flagship status. Subjectively, the camera bump feels more restrained than the V5’s, contributing to a stronger sense of backplate unity and a cleaner, more modern aesthetic from every angle.

Weight distribution remains a highlight. Coupled with those rounded edges, the Magic V6 is supremely comfortable for one-handed use and disappears into a pocket during your daily commute. Furthermore, HONOR has addressed a previous shortcoming by introducing comprehensive water resistance. Whether it’s an unexpected splash or use in light rain, the Magic V6 offers enhanced durability and peace of mind.

Display

Both the internal and external displays on the Magic V6 boast top-tier flagship specifications. The main foldable screen is a expansive panel with a 2352×2172 resolution, constructed from UTG (Ultra-Thin Glass). It features a 1-120Hz LTPO adaptive refresh rate, intelligently adjusting to the on-screen content. It scales down for static documents to conserve battery and ramps up to a buttery-smooth 120Hz for videos and gaming, striking an excellent balance between visual fluidity and power efficiency.

Regarding the crease—a primary concern for any foldable—the Magic V6 has genuinely exceeded my expectations. After a week of intensive use, and comparing it to our unboxing footage, the crease remains remarkably shallow, even when viewed under harsh, angled light. During normal, head-on use, it’s virtually invisible. This durability is noticeably superior to other mainstream foldables after a similar period of use.

HONOR continues to lead in eye comfort technology. Both displays support ultra-high frequency PWM dimming. In extremely low-light conditions, it automatically switches to a high-frequency dimming mode, effectively reducing eye strain caused by screen flicker. For users sensitive to PWM, the Magic V6’s display offers a significantly more comfortable viewing experience.

Camera System

The most surprising upgrade on the Magic V6 is arguably its camera system, which completely shatters the notion that foldable phones require compromise in photography.

Leading the charge is a powerful 200MP main sensor. Its exceptional resolving power captures an incredible amount of detail. Even after significant cropping during post-processing, images remain sharp and crisp. In low-light scenarios, the large sensor’s light-gathering prowess is fully utilized, enhanced by OIS (Optical Image Stabilization). The resulting night shots are clean, bright, and remarkably free of visible noise.

The periscope telephoto lens supports multiple levels of optical zoom, delivering outstanding image quality even at 3x and 6x zoom. However, at the 6x zoom level, AI processing becomes quite prominent. For landscapes or architectural shots, the results are excellent. But when photographing text, especially indoors, the processing can introduce minor artifacts.

Compared to the class-leading rear cameras, the front-facing camera performs adequately, meeting the needs of daily video calls and online meetings with clear imaging, in line with the standard for foldable devices.

Performance & Battery

Performance follows a predictable yet powerful upgrade path. The Magic V6 is powered by the latest Qualcomm flagship processor, the Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5. Standard memory and storage configurations have also been bumped up from 12+256GB to a more generous 16+512GB.

Powering the device is a massive 7150mAh “Qinghai Lake” high-density battery, making it one of the highest-capacity batteries found in any foldable smartphone globally. It’s worth noting that the international version sees a slight reduction in capacity. Even so, it will still offer a significant capacity advantage over competitors like Samsung. However, charging speeds remain largely unchanged from the previous generation, supporting 80W wired fast charging and 50W wireless charging.

Conclusion: The All-Rounder to Beat

In my view, the HONOR Magic V6 stands out as a foldable flagship with virtually no weaknesses. It is arguably one of the most compelling foldable devices on the market in early 2026. While its surprise early launch caught some off guard and the body is marginally thicker than its predecessor, the overall package is incredibly solid and refined.

With competitors like OPPO and Samsung set to launch their own new foldables, the current leaks and rumors suggest they will have a tough time beating this “all-rounder” device. The Magic V6’s greatest strength is its uncompromised, holistic user experience. The final, and perhaps only, variable left is the pricing strategy. Based on HONOR’s track record, they are unlikely to disappoint.

This Honor phone may pack 13,080mAh battery and a Snapdragon 8-series chip!

In the past few months, Honor has launched three 10,000mAh battery phones in China, and now it is said to be working on a phone that will be 3,000mAh bigger than these existing models. The device, believed to be called the Honor X80 GT, is said to feature a battery capacity far beyond what most smartphones currently offer. Here’s a look at what to expect from this phone.

Honor X80 GT could set a new benchmark for battery capacity

According to a Chinese publication, the upcoming Honor X80 GT may feature a massive 13,080mAh battery. If this claim proves correct, it will place the device among the largest battery capacities ever seen in a mainstream smartphone. Most current flagship phones from brands such as Apple, Samsung, and Google generally ship with batteries close to the 5,000mAh mark.

The rumored capacity is significantly higher than even Honor’s recent devices that focus on long battery endurance. For instance, the recently introduced Honor Win carries a 10,000mAh battery, while the Honor Power 2 features a slightly larger 10,080mAh unit. The alleged X80 GT would push that figure even further, potentially making it one of the most power-packed phones in its category.

The publication also states that the device is equipped with 80W fast charging and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip. It may come with an 8,000-nit bright OLED panel like the Honor Power 2. For photography, it may feature an OIS-enabled Sony large-sensor camera.

The last time Honor’s X-series phone included a GT-branded model was the Honor X60 GT, which debuted with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip back in April 2022. The Honor X70 series did not include a GT model. It now appears that the X80 lineup may bring back the GT variant.

Reports suggest that the handset may debut sometime in the first half of the year. Until Honor officially confirms the device, the battery specification and other details should be treated as early information rather than final specifications.

iQOO Neo 11 launch reportedly cancelled for 2026 as company focuses on more powerful phones

By

Anvinraj Valiyathara

Mar 13, 2026

Reports suggest that iQOO could change its smartphone launch strategy in India this year. The development may impact the arrival of the iQOO Neo 11, which was announced in China last year and is typically expected to reach India later.

iQOO Neo 11 may skip India launch in 2026

According to a report by Gadgets360 citing sources familiar with the matter, iQOO may not introduce any new Neo series smartphone in India in 2026. If the information proves accurate, the iQOO Neo 11 may not arrive in the country despite its earlier debut in China in October 2025.

The Neo lineup has traditionally served as iQOO’s upper mid-range offering in India. These devices usually combine near-flagship processors, high refresh rate displays and fast charging capabilities at relatively competitive prices. The last models from the series in India were the iQOO Neo 10R, which launched in March 2025 starting at Rs 26,999 (~$290), followed by the iQOO Neo 10 that debuted later at Rs 31,999 (~$350).

The report suggests that the decision is part of a broader shift in strategy as smartphone brands deal with rising component costs and increasing device prices. Companies are increasingly focusing on clearer product differentiation rather than maintaining several overlapping lineups.

Instead of launching a new Neo phone, iQOO is said to be strengthening its flagship-focused approach. The company recently expanded its premium lineup with the iQOO 15R in India, which targets professionals and power users with high-performance hardware.

Meanwhile, the iQOO Neo 11 that debuted in China features a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset along with the brand’s Q2 gaming chip. It also offers a 6.82-inch LTPO AMOLED display, a 7,500mAh battery with 100W wired fast charging support, and a dual rear camera system.

While the Neo lineup may take a break in India this year, iQOO continues to introduce new devices in other segments. The company recently launched the iQOO 15R and Z11x phones in India.

Google Pixels eligible for Android 17 update: Here’s the complete list

By

Mar 13, 2026

Android 17 development is in full swing. Google has already released two beta builds in a short time, and with the improved development cycle, the final version is expected to arrive as early as the second quarter.

The stable release is still a few months away, but Google Pixel users can install the beta build right now to play with the latest features and upgrades, but only if you have an eligible device. Review the list below to find out if your Google Pixel is eligible for an upgrade to Android 17.

These Google Pixels are eligible for the Android 17 update

Pixel 10
Pixel 10 Pro
Pixel 10 Pro XL
Pixel 10 Pro Fold
Pixel 10a
Pixel 9
Pixel 9 Pro
Pixel 9 Pro XL
Pixel 9 Pro Fold
Pixel 9a
Pixel 8
Pixel 8 Pro
Pixel 8a
Pixel Tablet
Pixel Fold
Pixel 7
Pixel 7 Pro
Pixel 7a
Pixel 6
Pixel 6 Pro
Pixel 6a

It’s worth pointing out that Google hasn’t included the Pixel 10a on the list of eligible devices for the beta program. That’s likely because it was released after the Android 17 Beta 2 went live, and Google may not have updated the list since then. The Pixel 10a should be supported by the next beta release, which could arrive later this month.

Unfortunately, this will be the last major Android OS upgrade for the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, as their update support ends in October. That also means these Google Pixels will likely miss out on the QPR2 release. Still, it’s impressive to see them included on the Android 17 list, given that they were launched with Android 12. That’s a solid five Android OS upgrades in total.

Google’s Android 17 release timeline

The first beta was released on February 13, and Google quickly followed up with the second beta in the same month. The platform stability phase begins this month, per the official timeline. That’s when SDK/NDK APIs and app-facing behaviors are finalized.

The final version of Android 17 could arrive around June 2026. If you can’t wait that long, sign up for the beta testing and install it on your device. You can read this article for detailed instructions.

We’ll continue to update you with fresh developmenets in our Android 17 section. Be sure to visit it regularly for the latest information. Or, join our Telegram channel to get instant notifications about the latest happenings in tech.

Oppo Find X9s Pro full specs out, thanks to this leak

Mar 13, 2026

Oppo is expected to expand its Find X9 lineup with two new models. One of them is rumored to be the Find X9s Pro, a compact smartphone powered by a Dimensity 9500 processor.

While the company hasn’t officially confirmed the phone yet, tipster Digital Chat Station has already spilled the beans on its specifications.

Oppo Find X9s Pro Specifications

According to the insider, the rumored Find X9s Pro may feature a 6.32-inch flat display supplied by Tianma. The panel is said to have a 1.5K resolution and use LTPS technology, paired with LIPO packaging to keep the bezels thin.

Powering the device will be the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset. As for the cameras, the leak suggests that the Find X9s Pro may include two separate 200-megapixel sensors.

The primary camera is said to use a 200MP Samsung HP5 sensor with a 1/1.56-inch size. That’s paired with another 200MP HP5 sensor in a 3x periscope telephoto setup.

Alongside those sensors, the phone is also rumored to include:

a 50MP ultra-wide camera
a 3.2MP Danxia color restoration lens
a 32MP front-facing camera

The Danxia color restoration sensor is expected to improve color accuracy in photos.

All of this is said to be backed by a battery larger than 7,000mAh. Charging speeds are expected to reach 80W wired, and the device may also support wireless charging.

The phone is also tipped to include IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance. Security could rely on a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint scanner. Last but not least, the tipster suggests the device will have an orange magnetic case, and the device has a very Apple feel.

For now, these specifications remain part of a leak and should be treated cautiously. Oppo has not officially confirmed the Find X9s Pro or its hardware yet.

Mar 12, 2026

Hisense has announced its 2026 ULED MiniLED TV lineup with new models in the U6 and U7 Series. The company says the new range focuses on delivering MiniLED performance, large screen sizes, and modern features at more accessible prices. The U7 Series is available starting today, while the U6 Series will begin reaching retailers in the coming weeks.

The new lineup comes ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026, which will take place in the United States. Hisense expects the event to drive interest in larger televisions for watching sports at home. The ULED category, which includes the U6 and U7 models, sits in the middle of Hisense’s TV portfolio in terms of performance and pricing. The company will later introduce an RGB MiniLED Series as its ultra-premium tier above the ULED range.

The U7 Series is positioned as the higher-performance option in the lineup. It is built for sports viewing, gaming, and large-screen home entertainment.

Screen sizes in the U7 lineup reach up to 116 inches. Hisense says the large display options are designed for shared viewing, such as watching live sports or movies with a group. Audio is handled by a 50W 2.1.2 channel sound system that supports Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual:X. The system is designed to deliver room-filling sound without requiring additional speakers.

The U7 Series will be available in two smart TV versions. The U7SG models run Google TV, while the U7SF models use Fire TV.

The U6 Series focuses on bringing MiniLED technology to a wider range of buyers. The lineup includes the U6SF Pro and the standard U6SF models.

Motorola Edge 70 Fusion+ 5G Debuts with Sony LYTIA 710 Camera, Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 & 144Hz Quad-Curve Display

By

Mar 12, 2026

Motorola has quietly introduced a new smartphone in its Edge 70 lineup. After launching the Edge 70 Fusion earlier this month and the Edge 70 in October 2025, the company has now added the Motorola Edge 70 Fusion+ 5G. The phone is currently listed on Motorola’s website in Brazil, with no confirmation yet about launches in other regions.

For now, the device appears to be limited to Brazil. Motorola may expand availability to other markets later, possibly across South America. It is also worth noting that the Edge 70 Fusion series can have different hardware depending on the region. The version sold in India, for example, differs from the one sold in other countries.

The Motorola Edge 70 Fusion+ focuses heavily on cameras. It features three 50MP cameras in its class. The main camera uses the Sony LYTIA 710 sensor. The phone also includes a 50MP ultra-wide camera. On the front, there is a 50MP selfie camera. In addition to these, Motorola has added a 10MP telephoto camera to support zoom photography.

The phone runs on the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 processor. It comes with 12GB of RAM and Motorola’s Intelligent RAM Boost feature to improve performance during multitasking. Storage is fixed at 256GB.

The product targets frequent travelers and business users with a focus on convenience and functionality.

The suitcase uses Covestro PC material for its shell. This composite construction ensures durability while keeping the suitcase lightweight. Xiaomi has added a TSA-approved embedded lock for increased security during international travel. The 18-inch version uses a single zipper, while the 20-inch version features a dual zipper system.

Xiaomi includes silent universal wheels for smooth movement on various surfaces. The telescopic handle offers multiple height settings, with three levels for the 18-inch model and four levels for the 20-inch model. The antibacterial interior lining reduces bacterial growth by up to 99%, based on lab tests.

The suitcase comes in Deep Gray Silver and Distant Mountain Green. The 18-inch model has a 37.5L capacity and weighs 3.4 kg, while the 20-inch model offers 39L and weighs 3.7 kg.

-

Mar 12, 2026

Xiaomi has just launched the Xiaomi Pad 8 in India, expanding its tablet lineup in the country. It now joins another strong competitor in the segment, the OnePlus Pad Go 2, which is slightly more affordable while still offering competitive specifications.

Here is a detailed comparison to help you decide which one suits your needs better.

Prev Next

1. Design and Display

The Xiaomi Pad 8 comes with an 11.2-inch 3.2K LCD display, offering a 3:2 aspect ratio and a 144Hz adaptive refresh rate. The screen supports Dolby Vision and HDR10, ensuring a smooth and vibrant viewing experience.

Xiaomi has also included TÜV Rheinland-certified low blue light technology for eye comfort. The Nano Texture Display version reduces reflectivity by 70% with AG nano-texture and AR coating, making it ideal for outdoor use. The tablet has a slim 5.75mm full-metal unibody design, giving it a premium feel.

The OnePlus Pad Go 2 features a 12.1-inch 2.8K LCD display with a 7:5 aspect ratio and a 120Hz refresh rate. The panel can reach up to 900 nits of peak brightness, making it brighter than the Pad 8’s display, which is rated at 800 nits.

It also supports Dolby Vision for enhanced color accuracy. The design has slightly thicker bezels and a 6.83mm thickness, making it less slim but still well-built.

Winner: Xiaomi Pad 8

2. Performance and Software

The Xiaomi Pad 8 is powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, an octa-core processor clocked at 3.21GHz, paired with up to 12GB of LPDDR5T RAM and UFS 4.1 storage.

This setup ensures flagship-level performance, making it a powerhouse for multitasking, gaming, and professional use.

It runs on Xiaomi HyperOS 3, which integrates well with Xiaomi’s ecosystem and introduces features like a PC-level browser, Workstation Mode, and HyperAI for interconnectivity.

The OnePlus Pad Go 2 uses the MediaTek Dimensity 7300-Ultra, a capable mid-range processor paired with 8GB of LPDDR5X RAM.

While it handles everyday tasks smoothly, it doesn’t match the raw power of the Xiaomi Pad 8.

The tablet runs on OxygenOS 16, which offers seamless integration with OnePlus and Oppo devices, including screen mirroring and file sharing.

Winner: Xiaomi Pad 8

3. Battery and Charging

The Xiaomi Pad 8 packs a 9200mAh battery with 45W fast charging, promising 9.3 hours of video playback. It also supports reverse charging, which is useful for powering accessories.

The OnePlus Pad Go 2 comes with a larger 10,050mAh battery, but its 33W SuperVooc charging is slower. On the plus side, it offers 60 days of standby time and extended video playback of up to 15 hours.

Winner: Tie

4. Cameras and Audio

The Xiaomi Pad 8 includes a 13MP rear camera and an 8MP front camera. It supports 4K video recording, which makes it a better option for users who need high-quality video. The tablet comes with quad speakers featuring Dolby Atmos for immersive audio.

The OnePlus Pad Go 2 offers an 8MP rear camera and an 8MP front camera. It supports video recording up to 1080p, which limits its appeal for advanced camera use. The tablet also includes quad speakers with Dolby Atmos, delivering comparable audio performance to Xiaomi.

Winner: Xiaomi Pad 8

5. Pricing and Value

The Xiaomi Pad 8 starts at ₹33,999 for the base 8GB+128GB variant and goes up to ₹38,999 for the 12GB+256GB Nano Texture Display option. Accessories like the Focus Pen Pro (₹5,999) and keyboard (₹4,999-₹8,999) add to the cost.

The OnePlus Pad Go 2 starts at ₹26,999 for the 8GB+128GB Wi-Fi model, with the 8GB+256GB 5G variant priced at ₹32,999. While more affordable, it lacks the premium features of the Xiaomi Pad 8.

Xiaomi offers better features for its price, but OnePlus provides affordability and 5G support in its top model.

Winner: Xiaomi Pad 8

6. Which One Should You Buy?

If you’re looking for a powerful tablet with a better display, flagship-level performance, and advanced productivity features, the Xiaomi Pad 8 is the clear winner.

However, if you’re on a tighter budget and value battery life and OnePlus ecosystem integration, the OnePlus Pad Go 2 is a solid alternative.

Honor tipped to test 6.36″ compact flagship with 8,000mAh battery

Honor could be preparing an unusual compact flagship if a new leak is accurate. According to well-known Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station, the company is testing a smartphone with a 6.36-inch display paired with an unusually large battery for its size.

The device is said to feature a flat 6.36-inch display, putting it firmly in the compact flagship category alongside the upcoming OnePlus 15T. What makes the rumored Honor phone stand out, however, is its roughly 8,000mAh battery. If accurate, it could represent a significant jump in runtime over some already impressive numbers we saw last year.

For context, phones released in 2025 in this size range — such as the Vivo X300, Xiaomi 17 Pro, and OnePlus 13T — carry batteries between 6,000mAh and 6,300mAh. Rumors surrounding the upcoming OnePlus 15T suggest a 7,500mAh battery, which is still notably smaller than what the Honor phone is rumored to pack.

The large capacity comes from improvements in silicon-carbon battery technology that Honor has achieved over the past few years. It has already allowed the company to pack a massive 10,000mAh battery into the Honor Win, a 6.83-inch smartphone. The device reportedly delivered more than 32 hours of Wi-Fi web browsing in tests.

Beyond battery life, the leak also points to a few flagship-grade features for the upcoming compact flagship. The phone is expected to include wireless charging, an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, and a periscope telephoto camera for improved zoom capabilities. The exact model name is still unclear. It could belong to the Magic series, though it remains speculation for now.

There’s still no word on the chipset, display refresh rate, charging speeds, or launch timeline. But the leak comes not long after Honor introduced the Honor Magic V6 in China, suggesting the company may be preparing its next wave of flagship devices. For users who want smaller phones without sacrificing battery life, this could be one to watch if the details prove accurate.

One UI 8.5 beta is no longer exclusive to the Galaxy S25 series

Mar 12, 2026

As the Galaxy S26 series hits shelves, Samsung has shifted its focus back to the One UI 8.5 beta program, which began in December 2025. For a long time, it remained exclusive to the Galaxy S25 series, but that changed today, as the brand has just released the first One UI 8.5 beta for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7.

We knew it was coming. Earlier this week, One UI 8.5 beta builds for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 were spotted on Samsung’s servers, and shortly after, Samsung created One UI 8.5 beta program sections for the devices on its community forum.

For the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7, the first One UI 8.5 beta comes with a firmware version ending in ZZC5 (via) and a hefty download size of 4.2GB. As of writing this post, the beta has been spotted in India and South Korea. It will also expand to a few more regions, including the US, the UK, Poland, and Germany.

If you’re rocking either of these foldable phones, you may have a chance to get early access to the latest features and upgrades in One UI 8.5. For this, you’ll need to sign up for the One UI 8.5 beta program, as mentioned in the following section.

How to get One UI 8.5 beta on your Galaxy device

Keep in mind that beta builds may contain bugs and broken features. If you are okay with that, follow these steps to get the One UI 8.5 beta on your device.

First step: Enroll in the One UI 8.5 beta program

Open the Samsung Members app on your phone.
Make sure you’re signed in to the app with your Samsung account.
Tap on the One UI Beta Program banner. If you don’t see this, the beta program isn’t currently available for your device.
After tapping on the beta banner, accept the terms and conditions to enroll in the beta program.

Second step: Download and install the update

Go to Settings > Software updates and tap Download and install.
Once the download is completed, tap Install now.

It’s a major upgrade, so the installation time may be longer. After upgrading to One UI 8.5, you may notice higher battery usage in the first few days. This is completely normal as the device undergoes background optimization after every feature upgrade.

This rugged phone includes a 30,000mAh battery, 200MP main camera, and IP69K protection

Energizer is preparing to re-enter the smartphone spotlight with the Energizer P30K Apex, a rugged handset built around one standout feature: an enormous 30,000mAh battery. The device appears to target users who prioritize endurance over slim design.

If the specifications hold true, the P30K Apex could easily rank among the longest-lasting smartphones on the market. Energizer claims the phone can last up to a month on standby or light mixed use, thanks to its massive battery capacity. For perspective, that’s roughly equivalent to the combined capacity of around seven iPhone 17 Pro batteries. While real-world results will obviously vary depending on how heavily the device is used, it still represents a dramatic jump compared to the typical 4,000–7,000mAh batteries found in most smartphones today.

The phone supports 66W fast charging over USB-C. That should at least keep recharge times somewhat reasonable, even though filling a 30,000mAh cell will still require patience.

Beyond the battery, the hardware is fairly capable for a midrange rugged device. The P30K Apex reportedly runs on MediaTek’s Dimensity 7300 chipset, paired with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. This combination should handle everyday apps, multitasking, and moderate gaming fairly well.

On the front, the phone features a large 6.95-inch IPS display with a 2460 × 1080 resolution. Camera hardware also looks surprisingly ambitious. The rear setup includes a 200MP main sensor, alongside 50MP and 5MP secondary cameras, while selfies are handled by a 50MP front camera. As with many high-resolution sensors, the real-world results will depend heavily on processing, but the numbers certainly stand out on paper.

Durability is another key focus. The P30K Apex carries an IP69K rating, meaning it should withstand dust, water, and high-pressure conditions. The phone is aimed at workers, travelers, and outdoor enthusiasts.

The Energizer P30K Apex is expected to launch in June 2026 with a price tag of €399 (roughly $435). If it delivers on its endurance claims, it could appeal to users who are tired of daily charging and are willing to trade slimness for extreme battery life.

The Oppo Find X9 Ultra is expected to be announced soon, though we are still waiting for when and where. Luckily, leaks have already revealed much of what to expect from the phone’s hardware. A new tip from Digital Chat Station today further confirms the rumored specs.

According to the latest details, the main camera is expected to use a 200-megapixel Sony LYTIA 901 sensor with optical image stabilization. The sensor reportedly measures 1/1.12 inches. The device is also expected to include a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera using Samsung’s JN5 sensor.

On top of that, the Find X9 Ultra will have two periscope cameras, including a 200-megapixel telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom powered by the OV52A sensor, and a 50-megapixel periscope with 10x optical zoom. There’s also mention of a 3.2-megapixel “Danxia” color restoration lens.

On the front, the device is expected to feature a 50-megapixel autofocus selfie camera.

The display, according to the leak, will likely be a 6.82-inch flat OLED panel with 2K resolution, likely with a 120Hz refresh rate.

What else can you expect?

Inside, the phone is rumored to run on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. The software is expected to be ColorOS 16 running on top of Android 16.

The Find X9 Ultra is expected to feature a 7,050mAh battery. That’s slightly smaller than the 7,500mAh unit on the Pro model but still larger than the battery found in the previous Oppo Find X8 Ultra, which has a 6,100mAh cell. Charging speeds are said to reach 80W wired and 50W wireless.

There are also hints of a special “Master Kit” configuration with 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, possibly paired with exclusive design elements. However, the leak doesn’t go into detail about what those changes might be.
