Nothing recently confirmed that it will unveil the Nothing Phone (4a) series of midrange phones globally on March 5. Ahead of the launch, the brand has gradually confirmed some of the series’ key details. Today, it rolled out a new image to showcase the Phone (4a)’s rear design for the first time.

The Nothing Phone (4a) retains the brand’s signature semi-transparent aesthetic, showcasing a layered, industrial design with visible screws and geometric detailing. The dual-camera module sits neatly within an oval housing at the top, blending into the clean, minimalist back panel.

On the extreme right, the new Glyph Bar can be seen as a redesigned LED strip system. It uses individually controllable mini-LEDs to deliver brighter, more precise light notifications for calls, alerts, and app activity, while reducing visual clutter compared to earlier Glyph interfaces. The right edge of the phone has volume buttons and a power key, and the left spine features the Essential Key.

Rumors suggest that the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro may not feature this Glyph Bar. Instead, it may include a Glyph Matrix similar to the Phone (3) from last year.

According to leaks, the Nothing Phone (4a) is expected to feature a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, offering smooth scrolling and an immersive viewing experience. The device is rumored to be powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chip, paired with 8GB / 12GB of RAM and up to 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. It is likely to run on Nothing OS 4 based on Android 16, bringing the brand’s clean and minimal software experience.

In terms of cameras, the Phone (4a) is tipped to sport a 50MP main rear camera along with a 32MP front-facing shooter for selfies and video calls. While full camera details remain under wraps, the device is expected to focus on balanced photography performance. At present, there is no information about its battery and charging capabilities. The handset may arrive in multiple color options, including black, white, pink, and blue.

The leaked image shows a dedicated Oppo Find N6 series gift package featuring multiple accessories designed to work with magnetic attachment support. Visible items include a vacuum suction magnetic stand designed for stable mounting, an aramid fibre magnetic protective case with a circular cutout matching the camera module, and an ultra-thin magnetic card holder that doubles as a hidden stand.

The image also reveals a large retail-style box and smaller accessory components placed alongside it, reinforcing the idea of a premium launch bundle. Additionally, an Oppo 20W fast-charging power bank seems to be included as an early purchase gift.

The Find N6’s protective case design also hints at a familiar large circular rear camera module, indicating continuity in visual identity. The flash placement appears to shift towards the upper left, suggesting slight refinements to the camera layout.

Oppo Find N6 specifications (rumored)

The Oppo Find N6 could be among the first foldables powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, reportedly in a 7-core configuration. The device is tipped to feature an 8.12-inch 2K LTPO UTG inner display paired with a 6.62-inch cover screen, while camera hardware may include dual 20-megapixel front cameras (for outer and inner displays) and a triple rear setup combining 50-megapixel, 50-megapixel and 200-megapixel cameras, along with a 2-megapixel multispectral unit.

Battery capacity is expected to reach around 6,000mAh with 80W fast charging support. Reports also point towards satellite communication capability, Android 16-based ColorOS 16 UI, and storage options going up to 16GB RAM with 1TB capacity. The foldable is said to weigh roughly 225g and may introduce support for an AI-enabled stylus, indicating a push towards productivity use cases. Early indications suggest a March launch window, possibly targeting select global markets alongside China.

Xiaomi 18 series, Vivo X500 lineup may feature new anti-peep screen technology like Galaxy S26 Ultra

23 February 2026 at 09:51
Galaxy S26 Ultra privacy feature

Upcoming flagship smartphones expected to launch around September in China may introduce a major hardware-level privacy feature aimed at protecting screen visibility, according to reliable tipster Digital Chat Station. This tech appears to be similar to what Samsung is advertising for its Galaxy S26 Ultra, which is slated to launch next week. If accurate, it may represent a shift from software-based privacy tools toward integrated hardware solutions designed to prevent onlookers from viewing sensitive content.

Hardware-level anti-peep display coming to upcoming flagships

DCS tips new “spy-screen” technology on the Chinese flagship phones

According to DCS, domestic smartphone manufacturers are currently testing an advanced “anti-peeping” screen that works at the hardware level. The translated leak suggests that this forward-looking design is being evaluated for next-generation flagship phones scheduled for around September this year.

Unlike traditional privacy screen protectors or software filters, this approach is said to rely on native display technology to reduce visibility from side angles, potentially improving privacy in public environments.

So far, reports suggest that the Xiaomi 18 series powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and the Vivo X500 lineup featuring the Dimensity 9600 are expected to launch in September. Likely, these devices could feature the new hardware-level privacy display if testing proves successful.

Last year in October, Oppo unveiled its Find X9 lineup, and this year the company may introduce the Find X10 series in October, while Honor could follow with the Honor Magic 10 series. Other flagships like the iQOO 16, OnePlus 16, and Realme GT 9 Pro are also expected to debut around the same period. It remains to be seen whether these devices will include the feature.

Galaxy S26 Ultra’s privacy display feature

Recent reports around the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra indicate that the device may introduce a built-in privacy display designed to limit viewing angles at the hardware level, helping prevent shoulder surfing in crowded places. Reports suggest the technology may rely on advanced OLED panel control to selectively obscure content when viewed from the side, instead of using external accessories.

Early information indicates that this feature could offer customization options such as automatically activating during sensitive tasks or hiding specific screen elements like notifications or passwords. If successful, it may encourage other manufacturers to adopt similar solutions, especially as smartphone privacy becomes an increasingly important selling point in flagship devices.

Among the S26 lineup, it is only the Ultra edition that is said to arrive with a new hardware-level privacy feature. Therefore, Chinese smartphone OEMs may offer this feature only on their Pro Max or Ultra branded flagships.

Grand Theft Auto 6 price leak fuels fears of higher launch cost

22 February 2026 at 20:27
Grand Theft Auto 6

Rumors around the launch price of Grand Theft Auto 6 have resurfaced after a retailer webpage showed a possible price for the upcoming game. Although Rockstar Games has not confirmed any pricing details, the listing has triggered discussions among gamers about whether the next GTA could arrive with a higher-than-usual cost.

GTA 6 price surfaces via online listing

GTA 6 price leaks

A product page spotted on the online retailer Loaded (via) showed Grand Theft Auto 6 listed at approximately $124.19 for the Xbox Series X and Series S version. The same page also shows a separate PC listing priced around $84.19, even though Rockstar has not officially confirmed a PC launch alongside console platforms. Both versions are currently marked with a notify option rather than an active purchase button, suggesting that these prices may be placeholders rather than final retail figures.

Retailers sometimes upload estimated pricing early to prepare their systems for preorders or to monitor consumer interest before official announcements are made. Since Rockstar Games and parent company Take-Two Interactive have not revealed any pricing details so far, these numbers should be treated cautiously. The presence of a PC listing is also notable, as the developer has not officially committed to releasing the game on that platform at launch.

Speculation about a higher price largely stems from the growing cost of developing large-scale games. Modern open-world titles demand advanced graphics technology, complex AI systems, and ongoing online support, all of which increase production expenses. As industry pricing trends gradually shift upward, some analysts believe Grand Theft Auto 6 could set a new benchmark for standard edition pricing.

However, Rockstar’s previous blockbuster titles launched at traditional AAA price points and generated additional revenue through online modes and extended content support. Until the company confirms details, the reported $99.99 figure remains unverified. For now, the safest assumption is that pricing discussions are based on speculation rather than confirmed information.

Grand Theft Auto 6 was supposed to launch in May this year. However, an update released by the brand a couple of months ago revealed it will go official in November 2026.

Oppo Find X9s won’t be releasing in this major market

22 February 2026 at 20:06
Oppo Find X9s

A recent report revealed that Oppo may launch the Dimensity 9500s-powered Find X9s in India in the second quarter of this year. According to a recent Weibo post by tipster Experience More, this phone won’t be launching in China, which is a major market for the brand.

Oppo Find X9s: What to expect

Oppo Find X9s will not release in China

According to the tipster, the Oppo Find X9s will not be released in China, as it is meant for Indian and other markets. As mentioned above, this phone will be powered by the recently unveiled Dimensity 9500s chip.

This new chip is a slightly toned-down version of the existing Dimensity 9500, which powers the Find X9. Therefore, the tipster claims that the X9s is a downgraded version of the Find X9.

The Find X9s rumors have revealed that it will feature a 6.59-inch OLED 1.5K 120Hz display, a 32-megapixel front camera, and a 50-megapixel (main) + 50-megapixel (ultra-wide) + 50-megapixel (Samsung JN5 or Sony LYT-700 3x periscope) triple camera unit. It will house a 7,025mAh battery with 100W charging, but it is said to lack support for wireless charging.

It is also speculated that the X9s may not be on par with the X9. The device may ship with 12GB of RAM and 256GB or 512GB of internal storage.

Oppo Find X9s Pro in works for China

The brand is also said to be working on the Oppo Find X9s Pro for China. According to reports, it may arrive with a compact form factor featuring a 6.3-inch OLED 1.5K 120Hz display equipped with an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor.

Its rear camera setup is expected to feature a Samsung HP5 200-megapixel main camera, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a Samsung HP5 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera. For selfies, it may feature a 50-megapixel front camera. This phone is said to have a Dimensity 9500 chip and a battery of around 7,000mAh capacity. It may support 80W wired and 50W wireless charging.

The Find X9s Pro is expected to debut along with the Find X9 Ultra in March in China.

New leak hints at OnePlus 15s comeback with camera changes

22 February 2026 at 19:23
OnePlus 13s alternatives

Back in January, tipster Yogesh Brar claimed that the OnePlus 15s, a compact flagship phone and successor to last year’s OnePlus 13s, was almost cancelled for India. This phone is supposed to be based on the OnePlus 15T, which is expected to launch soon in China. Now, the same source is back to claim that the OnePlus 15s is in the works again.

OnePlus 15s back in works

OnePlus 13s alternatives
OnePlus 13s

According to the tipster, the OnePlus 15s is in development again but with changed optics. However, he did not divulge more details about it. To put this into context, the OnePlus 15T is said to feature a 200-megapixel or 50-megapixel main camera accompanied by a 50-megapixel telephoto camera, and it may not feature an ultra-wide lens.

When the tipster claims changed optics, there is a possibility that the 15T may feature a 200-megapixel main camera, while the 15s could have a 50-megapixel primary sensor. At present, this is just an assumption, and it is advisable to wait for further reports to see what the 15s will offer.

It has been over two months since the OnePlus 15R was unveiled in December, and the company has not launched any new phones. It is unclear whether the brand has any device to launch in March, as Brar previously claimed that the Nord 6, which was supposed to launch in that month, has been delayed.

While the OnePlus 15T is expected to hit the Chinese market, the 15s could be planned for the second quarter of the year. Rumors have revealed that the 15T will be a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5-powered device equipped with a 6.32-inch OLED 1.5K 165Hz display, up to 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM, up to 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage, and a battery of around 7,500mAh with 100W wired charging and wireless charging support.

Nothing Phone (4a) to feature new Glyph Bar powered by 9 individually controllable mini-LEDs

20 February 2026 at 20:16
Nothing Phone (4a) Glyph Bar teaser

Nothing has started revealing key highlights of the upcoming Nothing Phone (4a) lineup ahead of its March 5 launch in India. The latest teaser focuses on a redesigned lighting system called the Glyph Bar, signalling a shift in how the brand approaches its signature rear lighting concept.

Nothing Phone (4a)’s Glyph Bar teased

According to the company, the Glyph Bar is an evolution of its earlier Glyph Interface, aiming to provide clearer visual cues while minimizing distraction. The system consists of nine individually controllable mini-LEDs arranged to deliver sharper signals and a cleaner visual output.

Nothing claims the new implementation is around 40 percent brighter compared to the previous (a) series while producing a more natural glow without light bleed. The lighting setup is designed to convey notifications and status information instantly through six square lighting zones.

Earlier Nothing devices experimented with different approaches, ranging from multiple segmented lights to the Glyph Matrix display introduced recently. With the Phone (4a), the company appears to be refining the concept rather than expanding it into a full rear display. Teasers and early visuals suggest the lighting strip may sit closer to the device’s edge, possibly around a vertically aligned camera module, though the exact placement remains unclear.

Nothing Phone (4a) series leaked specs

Leaks suggest the standard Nothing Phone (4a) could feature a 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset. Camera details indicate a 50-megapixel primary sensor paired with an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens, along with a 32-megapixel front camera. The Nothing Phone (4a) Pro variant is expected to introduce additional upgrades such as a periscope telephoto lens and a faster 144Hz display on a slightly larger screen.

Both models are tipped to include larger batteries around the 5,200mAh range with 50W charging support, along with upgraded UFS 3.1 storage. Color options are said to include Black, Blue, Pink and White for the standard version, while pricing could see a slight increase due to industry-wide component costs.

One UI 8.5 brings conversational Bixby with natural language device control

20 February 2026 at 11:49
New-Bixby-in-One-UI-8.5

Samsung has introduced a refreshed version of Bixby alongside its One UI 8.5 software, focusing on improving how Galaxy users interact with their devices through conversational AI. The update signals a shift towards more natural interactions, hinting at deeper AI integration across Samsung’s ecosystem.

While the announcement highlights usability improvements, it also reflects the company’s ongoing efforts to simplify complex device settings and make everyday tasks more intuitive.

Natural language control and contextual device assistance

New-Bixby-in-One-UI-8.5

The new Bixby is designed to act more like a conversational device agent rather than a traditional voice assistant that depends on rigid commands. Users can now describe what they want in everyday language, allowing the system to interpret intent instead of relying on exact feature names or menu navigation. This change aims to reduce friction, particularly for users who may not be familiar with device settings or terminology.

For instance, if someone wants their screen to remain active while reading, they can simply express that intention, and Bixby will identify the relevant option and enable it automatically. The assistant can also analyze current device behavior and suggest possible solutions when users ask why something is happening, helping them resolve issues faster without manual troubleshooting.

Another major addition is built-in real-time web search, allowing Bixby to present up-to-date information directly within its interface. Instead of opening a separate browser or switching apps, users receive results within the assistant, creating a more streamlined workflow. This integration could make Bixby more competitive as AI-driven assistants increasingly combine device controls with online knowledge access.

Samsung has confirmed that the One UI 8.5 beta with the updated Bixby is rolling out in select markets, including India, Germany, Korea, Poland, the UK and the US. Wider expansion is expected later, suggesting Samsung is positioning Bixby as a core part of its future Galaxy AI experience.
