The post Vivo X300 FE launched with compact 6.31-inch display, Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, 50MP triple cameras appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo’s next flagship camera phone, the Vivo X300 Ultra, has started appearing in fresh leaks revealing key details about its display, design, and imaging system. A new tip from Digital Chat Station suggests that the device could bring notable changes compared to the previous generation, particularly in display design and camera capabilities.

Vivo X300 Ultra display and design details tipped

According to the leak, the Vivo X300 Ultra will feature a 6.82-inch display supplied by BOE. The panel is said to offer a 2K+ resolution with a 120Hz refresh rate and support LTPO technology for dynamic refresh rate adjustment. The screen will reportedly adopt a flat design with regular rounded corners instead of the quad-curved panels used in earlier models.

The tipster also claims the display will have extremely narrow bezels on all four sides, creating a symmetrical look around the panel. This marks a shift away from the equal-depth curved screens that previously appeared on several flagship phones. The change could improve grip, screen protection compatibility, and overall usability.

In addition to the new display design, the Vivo X300 Ultra is said to include a slightly larger battery than the Vivo X300 Pro. However, the battery capacity is not expected to reach the 7,000mAh mark that had been rumoured earlier. Under the hood, it will feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset.

Vivo X300 Ultra camera and imaging upgrades

The phone is expected to place strong emphasis on photography, continuing Vivo’s focus on imaging flagships. Reports indicate that the device may feature a triple camera system built around two 200-megapixel sensors and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera.

The main camera could use a custom Sony LYTIA 901 sensor with a large 1/1.12-inch sensor size and a 35mm focal length. A second 200-megapixel Samsung HPB periscope telephoto camera with an 85mm focal length and a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-828 ultra-wide sensor are also expected. The setup may be accompanied by a 5-megapixel multispectral sensor designed to improve colour accuracy under complex lighting conditions.

The Vivo X300 Ultra is also expected to support advanced video features such as full focal length 4K 120fps recording with Dolby Vision and optical stabilisation across lenses. Vivo is reportedly preparing a new photography kit as well, including a 400mm telephoto converter and a professional camera grip designed to extend the phone’s long-distance shooting capabilities.

Tipster Digital Chat Station also hinted that, besides the already known telephoto converter, there may be another accessory that has not surfaced yet. According to the tipster, this additional telephoto accessory could be designed to suit regular photography enthusiasts rather than only professional users.

Xiaomi has just launched the Xiaomi 17 and 17 Ultra flagship phones globally. The brand is known for launching “T”-branded affordable flagships in select markets in the second half of the year. However, rumors surrounding the Xiaomi 17T lineup suggest that it will debut earlier than expected. A new leak by tipster Abhishek Yadav has revealed a more specific timeframe for the 17T series’ arrival.

Xiaomi 17T launch timeframe tipped

According to the tipster, the Xiaomi 17T will launch by the end of April or in May. This should be accompanied by the Pro model, but in India, the brand may only offer the standard variant, which has already appeared in the IMEI database in the past.

Previous reports have revealed that the Xiaomi 17T and 17T Pro will be equipped with Leica imaging capabilities. Both phones are expected to feature a 50-megapixel + 12-megapixel + 50-megapixel triple camera unit, but the primary and telephoto camera sensors are said to differ from each other. The Pro edition is also said to feature a periscope telephoto camera. For selfies, both phones may feature a 32-megapixel front camera.

The Xiaomi 17T and 17T Pro are said to have model numbers 2602DPT53G/I and 2602EPTC0G. While the 17T may pack a Dimensity 8500 chip and a 6,500mAh battery with 67W charging, the 17T Pro is said to be powered by the Dimensity 9500. However, there is no information about the Pro model’s battery and charging capabilities.

The 17T Pro is said to be based on the Redmi K90 Ultra, which is also expected to launch in April in China. It is said to feature a 6.8-inch OLED 1.5K 165Hz display, a Dimensity 9500 chip, an 8,500mAh battery with 100W charging, a built-in cooling fan, a metal frame, an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor, and comprehensive water resistance.

Redmi is expected to unveil the Redmi K90 Ultra and K90 Pro in April this year in China. A couple of months later, the brand may introduce the Redmi K100 lineup, featuring the K100 and K100 Pro Max. The latter could be Redmi’s most powerful flagship phone.

Redmi K100 Pro Max chip, camera details emerge

A report that surfaced last month revealed that the Redmi K100 and K100 Pro Max could both be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8-series chipsets. While these devices are expected to remain exclusive to the Chinese market, their rebranded versions, dubbed the Poco F9 Pro and F9 Ultra (or Pro Max), may launch globally.

A new leak by reliable tipster Digital Chat Station talks about an upcoming Redmi flagship phone whose prototype is powered by a 2nm chip. This device appears to be the Redmi K100 Pro Max equipped with the next-generation 2nm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6.

He added that Redmi could be testing a new camera setup featuring a 200-megapixel main camera backed by a 1/1.28-inch sensor and a 50-megapixel mid-tier periscope telephoto lens. In comparison, the Redmi K90 Pro Max has the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip and a triple 50-megapixel camera setup.

Therefore, it is likely that the Redmi K100 Pro Max’s rear camera setup may feature a 200-megapixel main camera, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera. As a rebranded edition, the Poco F9 Ultra may feature the same camera setup and the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6.

The rest of the specifications of the Redmi K100 Pro Max / Poco F9 Ultra remain under wraps. More details about these devices are expected to surface in the coming days. Likely, the K100 series may debut in October this year in China, whereas the Poco F9 lineup may hit the global market by Q1 2027.

The post Redmi K100 Pro Max chipset, 200MP triple camera setup tipped, Poco F9 Ultra may mirror this appeared first on Gizmochina.

In a Weibo post, reliable tipster Ice Universe has claimed the upcoming Oppo Find X9 Ultra could feature one of the strongest telephoto systems at the hardware level. In support of this claim, he has reposted a post shared by tipster Digital Chat Station, which reiterates the periscope camera details of the X9 Ultra. Here’s a look at the details shared by him.

Dual periscope telephoto camera details surface

According to DCS, the Find X9 Ultra may arrive with a significantly improved zoom camera configuration. The device is said to feature a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto sensor with a large 1/1.28-inch sensor size and an aperture around F2.2. This lens is expected to deliver stronger light capture compared to most telephoto cameras currently available in flagship smartphones.

Alongside it, the phone could include a second periscope camera designed for extreme zoom. This sensor is tipped to be a 50-megapixel unit with roughly 10x optical zoom and a 1/2.76-inch sensor. The combination of these two lenses could allow the device to cover both mid-range zoom photography and longer focal lengths with improved clarity.

Previous leaks have also outlined that the Find X9 Ultra could be equipped with a new 200-megapixel OmniVision OV52A mid-range periscope lens with 3x optical zoom at 70mm. This could be accompanied by a 50-megapixel Samsung JN5 periscope telephoto camera with 10x optical zoom and 230mm focal length.

For the primary camera, the X9 Ultra may feature the all-new 200-megapixel Sony LYT-901 primary camera with a 23mm focal length. It could be coupled with a 15mm 50-megapixel Samsung JN5 ultra-wide lens. For selfies, it may feature a Samsung JN5 50-megapixel camera with autofocus support.

Oppo Find X9 Ultra launch timeframe

Apart from the camera upgrades, the phone is expected to feature a 2K display along with balanced flagship hardware across other areas. However, the biggest highlight remains the upgraded telephoto system aimed at improving long-range photography.

As for the launch timeline, reports indicate that Oppo may introduce the Find X9 Ultra in China around April this year, possibly alongside the Find X9s Pro. The global debut could follow later in the second quarter, where it may launch together with the Find X9s series.

The post Oppo Find X9 Ultra’s dual periscope telpehoto camera details emerge again, up to 10x zoom tipped appeared first on Gizmochina.

In October 2025, Vivo unveiled the Vivo X300 series, whereas its sub-brand iQOO announced the iQOO 15. It is likely that both companies will apply the same strategy for the next-generation flagships. While the rumor mill has already leaked a few details about the upcoming Vivo X500 series, details about the iQOO 16 have also started surfacing. A new leak, courtesy of tipster Smart Pikachu, has revealed a key detail about the iQOO 16’s display.

iQOO 16 to feature 2K display

According to the tipster, while most next-generation flagships are shifting to 1.5K displays, Vivo is reportedly testing two upcoming phones with 2K screens.

The iQOO 16 hashtag used in the Weibo post suggests that it could retain a higher-resolution 2K display instead of moving to the 1.5K panels many competitors are adopting.

While he has not mentioned the X500 series, a previous leak suggests that the entire lineup would feature 2K resolution displays.

The OnePlus 16 is expected to be one of the major rivals for the iQOO 16. This device is likely to retain the 1.5K resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate that were introduced on the OnePlus 15. Some unconfirmed reports suggest that the iQOO 16’s display refresh rate may upgrade to 165Hz.

At present, there is no information about the iQOO 16’s other specifications. Being a performance-focused flagship, it may feature the next-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chipset and a massive battery. Hopefully, upcoming reports will shed more details about the iQOO 16’s innards.

For the past few days, OnePlus has been gradually revealing key details about the OnePlus 15T. A new updated released by a company executive reveals that the 15T will offer a comprehensive water resistance. Here is a look at the fresh details that have emerged today.

OnePlus 15T confirmed to arrive with IP68/69/69K rating

According to OnePlus China president Li Jie, the OnePlus 15T will come with upgraded water resistance capabilities. The device is expected to support IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K ratings, which could make it one of the few smartphones in the market with this level of protection. If confirmed, it may also become the only compact flagship currently offering all four certifications together.

These ratings indicate resistance against dust as well as water exposure under different conditions. In particular, the IP69K standard means the device can withstand high pressure water jets and high temperature washing. Under testing conditions, devices with this rating can operate even when exposed to water pressure reaching around 100 bar and temperatures up to 80°C.

This level of durability suggests the phone may handle harsh environments such as heavy rain, hot water splashes, or intense cleaning conditions more reliably than typical smartphones. For everyday users, it could provide additional peace of mind during outdoor use, travel, or accidental exposure to water.

Expected specifications and design details

The OnePlus 15T is also expected to bring flagship hardware. Reports indicate that it will run on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, paired with configurations reaching 16GB RAM and up to 1TB storage. Benchmark listings on AnTuTu reportedly show scores exceeding 4.45 million, hinting at strong performance.

The phone is said to feature a 6.32-inch compact display with extremely narrow and symmetrical bezels. Company executives have suggested that it could have one of the narrowest visual borders seen on a small smartphone.

Battery capacity may reach 7,500mAh, supported by 100W fast charging. Camera hardware could include a 200-megapixel or 50-megapixel main camera accompanied by a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto lens. A tweaked version of the device with the OnePlus 15s branding is expected to release in markets outside of China.

While Oppo is expected to unveil the Oppo Find N6 later this month in China, April could see the arrival of the Find X9 Ultra and Find X9s Pro. Last month, the X9s Pro was approved by China’s 3C certification platform, and now, in a new development, the X9 Ultra has also received the same approval. Here’s a look at the details that have surfaced through the certification.

Oppo Find X9 Ultra 3C certified

As can be seen above, an upcoming Oppo phone with model number PMA110 has received approval from the 3C authority. This device is said to carry the Oppo Find X9 Ultra branding when it hits the market.

The certification reveals that the Find X9 Ultra may ship with a 100W charger. This device appears to be the regular version, whereas the company is also expected to announce a satellite communication edition. Rumors suggest that it will also have support for 50W wireless charging.

Oppo has also confirmed that the Find X9 Ultra will be released globally. Rumors suggest that it may hit the global market in the second quarter of this year. Reports have revealed that the X9 Ultra will feature a Hasselblad-tuned 200-megapixel (main) + 50-megapixel (ultra-wide) + 200-megapixel (3x periscope) + 50-megapixel (periscope) quad-camera setup.

For selfies, it will have a 50-megapixel front-facing camera. It may feature a 6.82-inch OLED 2K 120Hz screen, a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, and a 7,550mAh battery.

Oppo Find X9s Pro and Find X9s incoming

The Dimensity 9500-powered Find X9s Pro phone, which is expected to feature dual 200-megapixel cameras along with a 50-megapixel sensor, is said to remain exclusive to the Chinese market. However, the global market is likely to receive another model named the Find X9s.

The Find X9s, which is confirmed to feature the Dimensity 9500s chip, could be a toned-down version of the existing Find X9. Compared to the X9, the X9s is likely to feature different cameras and lack support for wireless charging. It is unclear whether this device will be released in China.

Apple may have unintentionally revealed the name of its rumored affordable MacBook ahead of its latest product announcements. A regulatory listing briefly appeared on Apple’s website referencing a device called the MacBook Neo. The listing disappeared soon after, but the brief appearance has fuelled speculation about a new entry-level Mac laptop.

MacBook Neo leak hints at Apple’s affordable Mac laptop

The reference was spotted in a regulatory compliance document linked to Apple’s European listings. While the document itself did not display the product name inside the file, the webpage URL contained the name “MacBook Neo” along with the model number A3404. Observers noticed the listing before Apple removed the page, suggesting the information may have been published earlier than intended.

Reports about a lower-cost MacBook have been circulating for several months. The device is believed to sit below the MacBook Air in Apple’s lineup and target students, first-time buyers and users who want access to macOS at a lower price point. If launched, the MacBook Neo could represent Apple’s attempt to expand its presence in the affordable laptop segment.

Rumours indicate that the laptop may not rely on Apple’s M-series processors used in existing Mac models. Instead, it could be powered by an iPhone-class chip such as the A18 Pro or a newer A-series processor. Such a shift could help Apple lower production costs while still delivering efficient performance and strong battery life for everyday tasks like browsing, document editing and streaming.

Early leaks suggest the MacBook Neo could feature a 12.9-inch display and come in multiple color options, including blue, green, yellow and pink. The design is expected to remain consistent with Apple’s minimalist aluminium build, but with a focus on portability and long battery life.

Pricing rumours currently place the device between $599 and $799. If accurate, it would become the most affordable MacBook available. Apple is expected to reveal more details during its ongoing product announcement week or through a newsroom update soon.

Samsung has announced a major update to its Galaxy for the Planet initiative, outlining fresh environmental goals through 2030. After successfully meeting its earlier 2025 sustainability targets, the company is now widening its focus beyond product design and manufacturing to address broader ecological impact across its global operations.

Galaxy for the Planet achieves 2025 milestones

Launched in 2021, Galaxy for the Planet serves as the sustainability framework for Samsung’s Mobile eXperience business. The company confirmed that it has achieved all four goals originally set for 2025, which were aimed at lowering environmental impact across mobile products and operations.

A key area of progress has been the increased use of recycled and responsibly sourced materials in Galaxy devices. Samsung now applies 10 types of recycled materials in both internal and external components, including plastics, glass and metals. It has also advanced circular initiatives such as recovering plastics from discarded fishing nets and strengthening its Circular Battery Supply Chain to reclaim materials from used batteries.

The company has phased out single-use plastics in mobile packaging, shifting to paper-based and recycled alternatives. Improvements in low standby power technology have reduced charger standby consumption to near-zero levels. In manufacturing, all qualifying mobile production sites have received Platinum certification under UL Solutions’ Zero Waste to Landfill standard, reflecting complete landfill diversion at those facilities.

With its initial targets achieved, Samsung is expanding its sustainability strategy for the remainder of the decade. The next phase centres on three priority areas: circularity, water stewardship and ecosystem conservation.

Samsung aims to include at least one recycled material in every module of every Galaxy mobile product, covering phones, tablets, PCs and watches. On water management, the company plans to return 110 percent of the water consumed in its mobile operations while pursuing the highest Alliance for Water Stewardship certification. It has also committed to conserving ecosystems equivalent to the footprint of its global mobile operations, focusing on habitat protection and biodiversity restoration.

Through these measures, Samsung is positioning sustainability as a long-term pillar of its innovation and operational strategy rather than a standalone initiative.
