As we approach the anticipated late February Unpacked event, the leaks surrounding the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra have transitioned from vague rumors to concrete specifications. While Samsung is opting for refinement over a radical redesign, the internal upgrades, particularly in processing power and display technology, suggest this will be the most capable Ultra model to date.

Here is everything we know about the Galaxy S26 Ultra.

Refined Design: Thinner, Lighter, and Curvier

One of the most immediate changes you’ll feel with the Galaxy S26 Ultra is its ergonomics. Samsung is reportedly moving away from the sharp, boxy corners that defined the S23 and S24 eras. Instead, the S26 Ultra will feature slightly more rounded corners, making the massive 6.9-inch device much more comfortable to hold for extended periods.

Leaked renders also suggest the phone will be incredibly sleek, measuring just 7.9mm in thickness and weighing around 214 grams. For context, this would make it the thinnest Ultra flagship Samsung has ever produced. The build will likely stick with a high-grade titanium frame and the next generation of Corning Gorilla Armor to maintain its rugged durability while shedding some bulk.

A Powerhouse Leap: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5

Under the hood, the S26 Ultra is set to be a performance monster.  It is expected to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 (specifically the “For Galaxy” overclocked edition). Early benchmarks indicate a significant leap in both CPU and GPU performance, with clock speeds potentially reaching up to 4.74 GHz.

To support heavy multitasking and the ever-growing suite of Galaxy AI features, Samsung is rumored to bump the RAM up to 16GB of LPDDR5X on higher-tier models. Storage options will likely remain consistent, starting at 256GB and topping out at 1TB, though rumors suggest Samsung may officially kill off the 128GB base model across the entire S26 lineup.

Display Innovation

Samsung continues to lead the industry in display tech. The S26 Ultra is tipped to feature a 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel using the new M14 OLED materials, which offer better power efficiency and color accuracy. Peak brightness is expected to hit a staggering 3,000 nits, ensuring perfect visibility even in the harshest Mumbai sun.

The “coolest” rumored feature, however, is Flex Magic Pixel technology. This is an integrated privacy feature that can narrow viewing angles on command, preventing onlookers from seeing sensitive content on your screen—a feature that will surely appeal to business professionals.

Camera Consistency with a Low-Light Twist

While some fans were hoping for a total overhaul of the sensor array, Samsung is focusing on “quality over quantity.” The core setup remains a quad-camera system led by the 200-megapixel main sensor. However, leaks point to a wider f/1.4 aperture, which would drastically improve light intake for “Nightography” and low-light video.

The rest of the deck is expected to include:

• 50-megapixel ultra-wide sensor.
• 50-megapixel periscope telephoto (5x optical zoom).
• 10-megapixel telephoto (3x optical zoom).

A larger selfie cutout is also rumored, potentially housing a new 32MP front camera with a wider field of view for better group shots.

Battery, Charging, and OS

Despite the thinner chassis, Samsung is expected to maintain a 5,000mAh battery. The big news for power users is the potential jump to 60W or even 65W wired fast charging, finally moving past the 45W cap that has held steady for years. Qi2 magnetic wireless charging is also a strong possibility, allowing for easier alignment with accessories.

The Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to ship with One UI 8.5-based Android 16 preinstalled. Likely, it will be treated with up to 7 years of Android OS and security updates. In terms of color options, the S26 Ultra is expected to arrive in shades, such as black, white, blue, and purple.

Expected Launch Details:

• Unpacked Event: February 25, 2026. (Rumored)
• Release Date: Early to Mid-March 2026.

Qualcomm is said to be working on the next-generation Snapdragon 8-series chipsets. Reliable tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed that the brand is working on two variants with part numbers SM8950 and SM8975, which are tentatively dubbed Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and Elite Gen 6 Pro, respectively. In a new Weibo post, the same source has revealed a few more details about the next-generation Snapdragon 8-series chips.

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 to be support LPDDR6, carry expensive price tag

According to the tipster, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 (SM8950) and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro (SM8975) chips are said to be manufactured using TSMC’s advanced N2P process node, which indicates a move toward improved efficiency and higher performance capabilities compared to current-generation silicon.

Among the two, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro is described as the more advanced variant, supporting LPDDR6 memory along with a fully enabled GPU configuration and a more complete cache setup. This suggests that Qualcomm could differentiate the two processors not only by performance but also by memory standards and graphics capabilities. The higher-end version is expected to carry a significantly higher cost due to the advanced hardware configuration.

A previous report suggests that the Pro variant will be designed to power Ultra-branded phones like the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, Oppo Find X10 Ultra, Vivo X500 Ultra, and so on. This chip may hit 5GHz or 6GHz of max processing speed.

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6

The leak also mentions that several prototype devices currently being tested are equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chipset as a middle-tier flagship option, while there remains a small possibility that some models may shift to an N-1 generation chip identified as SM8850, which is nothing but last year’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. This indicates that manufacturers may adopt a flexible approach depending on pricing and positioning.

In response to queries in the comments section of his Weibo post, the tipster added that sub-brand flagship devices are likely to receive the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro processor, hinting that premium offerings within subsidiary brands could adopt the highest-tier chipset. While the tipster did not specify the names of the phones, he could be talking about the likes of the Redmi K100 Pro Max, iQOO 16, Realme GT 9 Pro, and OnePlus 16.

Additionally, MediaTek is reportedly developing a single 2nm-based Dimensity 9600, internally expected to outperform Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6,valthough real-world testing will ultimately determine its standing.

The post Oppo Find N6 launch date reportedly revealed, here’s what to expect appeared first on Gizmochina.

Honor Magic V6 and Oppo Find N6 are among the first foldable phones expected to hit the Chinese market. Both devices are anticipated to break cover in March. While there is still no clarity about Xiaomi’s foldable plans this year after it skipped the Xiaomi Mix Fold 5, Vivo is expected to announce the Vivo X Fold 6 in a couple of months. A new leak suggests that it could be equipped with the best set of cameras ever seen on a foldable phone.

Vivo X Fold 6 may arrive with a 200MP camera

In the above leak, tipster Smart Pikachu claims that the Vivo X Fold 6 is being developed as the most imaging-focused foldable phone yet. He added that the device is reportedly being tested with a 200-megapixel camera and a multispectral sensor.

To recall, the Vivo X Fold 5 from last year featured a Sony IMX921 primary camera with OIS support in its rear camera setup. It was accompanied by a 50-megapixel ultra-wide sensor and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera. The camera setup did not feature a multispectral sensor.

The multispectral sensor, which is expected to be available on the Vivo X Fold 6, will be responsible for color accuracy. At present, there is no clarity on whether the X Fold 6’s 200-megapixel camera will use a Samsung or an OmniVision sensor. It is also not known whether it will be used for the primary or periscope telephoto camera.

Considering that the Vivo X Fold 5 was powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, it is likely that the Vivo X Fold 6 will be equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite. Unfortunately, there is no information available about its other specifications. As far as launch is concerned, it may debut in July this year, similar to the previous generation.

Poco may unveil the Poco X8 series globally in March, according to recent reports. This time, the lineup is said to skip a standard Poco X8 variant and instead include the Poco X8 Pro and Poco X8 Pro Max models. Ahead of the expected launch, the Poco X8 Pro appears to be actively securing regulatory approvals, suggesting that the announcement could be close.

Poco X8 Pro RRA certified in South Korea

The latest development confirms that the Poco X8 Pro, which bears the model number 2511FPC34G, was approved by South Korea’s RRA platform back in December 2025. The listing identifies the device as a smartphone manufactured by Xiaomi Communications Co., Ltd., and also mentions its SAR value of 0.863 / 1.6 W/kg. While the certification does not disclose hardware specifications, such approvals typically indicate that the device is nearing commercial availability.

The Poco X8 Pro has previously surfaced in other regulatory databases as well. The device was earlier spotted on Thailand’s NBTC certification platform and the EEC database in Europe. Notably, the Thailand certification revealed the existence of a Poco X8 Pro Iron Man Edition, suggesting that Poco may introduce both a standard and a special edition variant at launch. Both versions are expected to share the same model number, indicating similar hardware configurations with possible cosmetic or software differences.

Poco X8 Pro specifications (rumored)

The Poco X8 Pro is expected to feature a 6.59-inch OLED display with 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, offering a balance between performance and visual clarity. Under the hood, the device is rumoured to be powered by the Dimensity 8500 chipset, paired with LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.1 storage for improved performance and faster data handling. The phone may arrive with up to 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB of internal storage.

In terms of cameras, leaks suggest a 20-megapixel front-facing camera along with a dual rear camera setup consisting of a 50-megapixel main sensor with OIS and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens. Fast charging support of up to 90W is also expected, allowing quick top-ups for heavy users.

The device is widely believed to be a rebranded version of the Redmi Turbo 5. However, while the Redmi Turbo 5 includes a 7,560mAh battery, the Poco X8 Pro is likely to pack a smaller battery with around 6,500mAh capacity.

Various smartphones across different brands launching this year are expected to feature 200-megapixel cameras. Earlier today, it was reported that the Xiaomi 18 Pro series may feature dual 200-megapixel cameras. Now, a new leak reveals that the Redmi K100 series may also include a 200-megapixel camera.

Redmi K100 Pro Max may receive a major camera boost

The above leak by tipster Smart Pikachu reveals that another sub-brand lineup is aiming higher and may adopt 200-megapixel and periscope cameras. The hashtag used in the leak suggests that it pertains to the Redmi K100 series.

The Redmi K100 series is initially expected to include two models, the Redmi K100 Pro and K100 Pro Max, as successors to last year’s Redmi K90 Pro and Redmi K90 Pro Max. To recall, the Pro edition features a 50-megapixel (main) + 8-megapixel (ultra-wide) + 50-megapixel (telephoto) triple camera unit, whereas the Pro Max has a 50-megapixel (main) + 50-megapixel (ultra-wide) + 50-megapixel (periscope telephoto) triple camera setup.

If a 200-megapixel camera is to arrive on the Redmi K100 series, the Pro Max model is likely to be the ideal candidate to receive it. It is still unclear whether the Pro Max edition will feature a 200-megapixel primary camera or a periscope telephoto camera.

Poco F8 Ultra rebranding

Just as the Redmi K90 Pro Max was rebranded as the Poco F8 Ultra globally, the Poco F9 Ultra may launch in the global market as a renamed version of the K100 Pro Max. Therefore, it is likely that the F9 Ultra could be the first Poco phone to feature a 200-megapixel camera. The Poco F9 series is likley to debut in the first quarter of 2027.

Xiaomi is reportedly preparing its next-generation flagship lineup, with early leaks hinting at significant hardware changes for the Xiaomi 18 series. A new leak suggests that imaging capabilities could receive a notable upgrade, particularly for the Pro variants. At present, a 200-megapixel camera is only limited to the Ultra variant, but the new leak reveals that even Pro models will come equipped with it.

Xiaomi 18 Pro series could feature 200-megapixel cameras

According to well-known tipster Digital Chat Station, an upcoming Xiaomi flagship phone equipped with a 6.3-inch display and dual 200-megapixel cameras is in the works. While it appears to be a Xiaomi leak, he has not specified the name of the device.

Based on Xiaomi’s current lineup strategy, both the standard Xiaomi 18 and the Xiaomi 18 Pro are expected to retain a compact form factor like the Xiaomi 17 and 17 Pro. However, major camera enhancements are likely to be reserved for the Pro model. Hence, it can be assumed that the Xiaomi 18 Pro may feature dual 200-megapixel cameras, as per the new leak.

There’s a possibility that Xiaomi may continue mirroring hardware between Pro and Pro Max variants. Similar to how the Xiaomi 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max share siimlar camera systems, the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max may offer the same dual 200-megapixel setup while differentiating itself with different camera sensors, a larger display, and higher battery capacity. A 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens is also expected to complement the main sensors. Both the Xiaomi 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max feature a more versatile secondary display on the back.

DCS has previously claimed that the standard Xiaomi 18 could finally introduce a periscope telephoto camera, replacing the existing telephoto unit with improved optical zoom capabilities.

Across the lineup, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chipset is rumored to power Xiaomi 18, 18 Pro, and 18 Pro Max, while the Xiaomi 18 Ultra may adopt a higher-tier Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro variant. The Xiaomi 18 series is expected to debut in China around September, with the Ultra model potentially arriving later in the year.

Xiaomi is currently gearing up to launch the Xiaomi 17 and 17 Ultra globally. Reports have claimed that the Xiaomi 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max will remain exclusive to the Chinese market. Therefore, there is no clarity on whether Xiaomi 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max will be released globally.

Oppo will unveil the Oppo K14x on Feb. 10 in India. Ahead of its launch, the standard Oppo K14 has been spotted at the Bluetooth SIG certification, revealing its existence for the first time. It appears that the device may debut in a month or two.

Oppo K14 Bluetooth SIG certified

As can be seen above, the Oppo K14 and K14x have received approval from the Bluetooth SIG authority. These listings have revealed their model numbers as CPH2869 and CPH2871.

Unfortunately, the rumor mill hasn’t revealed anything significant about the standard K14 yet. Back in December 2025, the same device was approved by Singapore’s IMDA authority.

As far as the Oppo K14x is concerned, Oppo has already confirmed that it will feature an LCD panel that offers a 120Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, it is expected to pack a 6,500mAh battery with 45W charging and offer 128GB of built-in storage. It will feature a 0-megapixel main camera.

Honor appears to be preparing the next generation of its number-series smartphones. Last year, the brand introduced the Honor 400 series in June, followed by the Honor 500 range in November. Based on this launch pattern, the Honor 600 series could debut as early as June this year in China, or possibly even earlier. Well ahead of any official announcement, the first details about the device have surfaced through a Weibo post shared by well-known tipster Digital Chat Station.

Honor 600 display, battery size tipped

According to the tipster, Honor is reportedly working on a new smartphone featuring a 6.57-inch display. Alongside the screen size, the leak suggests that the device may pack a significantly larger battery, potentially reaching around 9,000mAh capacity. This phone appears to be the upcoming Honor 600.

The recently unveiled iQOO Z11 Turbo features a 6.59-inch display, carries the largest battery in its class at 7,600mAh. However, the upcoming Honor 600, which is tipped to feature a similarly sized screen, could surpass that benchmark with a significantly larger battery capacity, potentially setting a new standard for endurance in this segment if the leak turns out to be accurate.

The tipster has not revealed additional hardware details such as the chipset, camera specifications, or charging capabilities, and the official name of the device has not been confirmed either. Despite this, the specifications align closely with expectations for the standard Honor 600, which is likely to succeed last year’s Honor 500.

The Honor 500 featured an iPhone Air-like design and included a 6.55-inch OLED display with 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It was powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset and housed an 8,000mAh battery with 80W charging support. The device also offered a 50-megapixel front camera and a dual rear camera system comprising a 200-megapixel main sensor with OIS and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide lens.

It remains unclear whether the Honor 600 will retain the same design language or chipset as its predecessor. There is no official confirmation regarding a global launch yet, but the Honor 600 Lite has quietly appeared in multiple certification listings, suggesting that international variants may be in development. If the Lite model is indeed heading to global markets, the standard Honor 600 and possibly a Pro version could follow, although their specifications may differ from the Chinese editions.

Several reports have claimed that Oppo is working on a couple of new phones, such as the Find N6 foldable, the Find X9 Ultra, and the Find X9s series for the Chinese market. In the latest development, Zhou Yibao, who leads Oppo’s Find-series products, has revealed when these devices will hit the Chinese market.

Oppo Find N6 to focus on crease optimization

According to Yibao’s latest Weibo post, a new foldable phone is slated for launch after the Chinese New Year period. Although the executive did not explicitly name the device, ongoing rumors strongly indicate that the teaser refers to the Oppo Find N6.

In his post, Zhou compared foldable phones to two beds placed together, suggesting that while they may look comfortable, the central gap or crease remains a key concern for users. He acknowledged that crease visibility continues to be one of the biggest barriers for buyers and emphasized that Oppo is investing heavily in improving crease management and overall durability.

Recent reports further support the Find N6 speculation. Two Oppo devices carrying model numbers PLP110 and PLP120 have received China’s 3C certification, with industry sources suggesting these could represent the standard model and a satellite communication variant. The devices are tipped to support 80W fast charging and may debut as one of the first large-format foldables powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. Early launch expectations point toward a possible unveiling around March in China.

Beyond China, the foldable has also appeared in regulatory databases in multiple regions, indicating a broader rollout plan. Listings in Singapore’s IMDA database reveal support for LTE, 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, and eSIM connectivity, suggesting that a global version is under development.

Meanwhile, other flagship models such as the Oppo Find X9 Ultra and Find X9s series have only recently surfaced in SRRC certification, with their 3C and TENAA approvals still pending, which implies that the Find N6 will launch first and the X9 models will follow soon after. Likely, all of these devices may debut in March in China.

iQOO has been gradually confirming key details about the iQOO 15R before its official launch on Feb. 24 in India. In the latest development, the brand has confirmed the primary camera of the device. The update reveals that the phone will not just be good at performance but also at capturing photos.

iQOO 15R main camera revealed

The iQOO 15R is confirmed to feature a Sony LYT-700 50-megapixel main camera. This camera will surprise those who were expecting a 200-megapixel Samsung HP5 sensor, as the device is believed to be a rebranded version of the iQOO Z11 Turbo, which features the said 200-megapixel Samsung primary camera.

Apart from this major difference, the rest of the specs appear to be identical on both phones. As far as the camera is concerned, the Sony LYT-700 is quite a capable sensor, utilizing Sony’s latest stacked pixel technology to capture more light and deliver better dynamic range in low-light conditions.

iQOO 15R specifications, price

Recent reports have revealed that the iQOO 15R will be a performance powerhouse, driven by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset. It is expected to feature a 6.59-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate for ultra-smooth gaming.

One of its standout features is a massive 7,600mAh battery with 100W fast charging support, yet it maintains a slim profile of just 7.9mm. It will be treated with four Android OS upgrades and six years of security updates.

The device is also tipped to carry IP68 and IP69 ratings for top-tier water and dust resistance. As for the pricing, rumors suggest the iQOO 15R will be priced under Rs 50,000 in India, potentially starting around Rs 47,999 to compete directly with the upcoming OnePlus 15R. With these specs, iQOO is clearly aiming to offer a flagship-grade experience at a more accessible price point.

A couple of new Oppo phones have received SRRC (State Radio Regulation of China) certification. These include the Find X9 Ultra and Find X9s series phones. At the same time, these devices have also been approved by the country’s UFCS (Universal Fast Charging Specification) certification. These certifications suggest that the Find series may debut soon after the upcoming Chinese New Year holidays.

Oppo Find X9 Ultra, Find X9s, Find X9s Pro bag fresh certifications

The Oppo PMA110 phone, which is believed to be the Find X9 Ultra, has received SRRC certification. For those who are unaware, it is a mandatory certification issued by China’s radio regulatory authority to approve wireless devices that use radio frequencies. It confirms that a device complies with China’s spectrum regulations, covering features like cellular connectivity, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and other radio transmission functions before commercial sale. After this, the Find X9 Ultra is expected to bag 3C and TENAA certifications before going official.

The PMA110 model is also listed with the PMA120 variant in the UFCS database. The PMA120 will support satellite connectivity. For those unfamiliar, UFCS is a unified fast-charging standard developed mainly by Chinese manufacturers (including OPPO, Vivo, Xiaomi, Huawei, and others). Its goal is to create a cross-brand fast charging protocol so chargers and devices from different brands can safely deliver fast charging without proprietary restrictions.

Earlier this week, the PME110 Oppo phone was approved by SRRC. Now, the authority has also certified PHM110. These devices are said to be part of the Find X9s series, which may include two devices: the Find X9s and Find X9s Pro. At present, it is not clear which model numbers correspond to which device.

The PHM110 variant has also bagged UFCS certification, which suggests that it could be the Find X9s Pro, whereas the PME110 without UFCS certification could be the Find X9s. It is advisable to wait for further reports to confirm their final monikers.

The Find X9 Ultra and Find X9s series phones are expected to debut together through a launch event in March in China. It is unclear whether the Oppo Find N6 will be announced at the same platform or separately.
