A few weeks ago, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S26 trio, which includes the S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra. At present, there is no clarity on whether there will be a successor to the Galaxy S25 Edge this year, but it appears that the brand could be working on the Galaxy S26 FE. The said device has seemingly appeared on the Geekbench benchmarking platform, hinting at its development.

A device believed to be the Galaxy S26 FE, carrying the model number SM-S741, has appeared on Geekbench. The listing indicates a deca-core processor configuration with clock speeds reaching up to 3.30GHz, supported by multiple performance and efficiency cores. Details from the source code also point towards the presence of the Xclipse 950 GPU, suggesting that the phone could be powered by Samsung’s Exynos 2500 chipset.

The benchmark entry further reveals that the device is running Android 17 and is paired with around 8GB of RAM. In terms of scores, it has recorded a single-core result of 2,426 and a multi-core score of 8,004, showing a noticeable improvement over the previous generation, especially in multi-core performance.

The appearance of Android 17 on the test unit suggests that the Galaxy S26 FE could be among the early devices to launch with the next version of Android out of the box. At the same time, the use of the Exynos 2500 aligns with Samsung’s approach of positioning the FE model slightly below its flagship counterparts in terms of raw performance.

Earlier expectations hinted at a possible shift to a newer chipset, but this listing indicates that Samsung may continue with a more balanced hardware strategy. It is also worth noting that benchmark results can vary depending on software versions, and this test was conducted on an older Geekbench build, which may influence the scores.

Vivo has started teasing its next T series smartphone for India, the Vivo T5 Pro 5G, hinting at a launch in the coming days. While the exact date is still under wraps, early details have surfaced through official teasers and reports, giving a fair idea of what to expect.

The Vivo T5 Pro 5G has appeared on Flipkart via a dedicated microsite, confirming its availability on the platform once it launches. The teaser highlights a large 9,020mAh battery, with Vivo claiming it could be the slimmest phone in its segment to carry such a capacity. The device is also expected to support up to 120FPS gaming, indicating a focus on performance alongside endurance.

In terms of design, the phone is shown with a dual rear camera setup placed in a pill-shaped module. The button placement appears slightly different, with the power and volume keys positioned on the left side, while the right side remains clean. At the bottom, it includes a USB Type-C port, speaker grille, and SIM tray.

The fine print of the Flipkart listing reveals that it will be priced between Rs 10,000 and Rs 20,000. It also mentions an extender kit that will be sold separately, which could be a game-changer in this segment, as phones under Rs 20,000 rarely offer expandable or accessory-based camera enhancements. If this builds on the idea seen with the Vivo T4 Pro’s periscope-style zoom approach, it could bring more versatile photography to a price range that typically sticks to basic camera hardware.

The handset is tipped to feature a 6.8-inch AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. It could be powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset and may run on Android 16-based OriginOS 6. Fast charging support of up to 90W is also expected, along with IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance.

Xiaomi’s next flagship lineup, likely called the Xiaomi 18 series, has started appearing in leaks ahead of its expected September 2026 debut. Early details suggest that the brand is sticking with a familiar design direction while adding deeper AI-driven enhancements to the experience.

Xiaomi 18 Pro series: Rear display to be more powerful than before

According to tipster Smart Pikachu, the Xiaomi 18 Pro and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max are expected to continue with the rear display concept seen in the previous generation. This secondary screen is said to evolve into an AI-powered smart window, enabling more dynamic and context-aware interactions instead of functioning as a simple auxiliary display.

The tipster has also indicated that the Xiaomi 18 series is likely to be unveiled in September, aligning with Xiaomi’s typical flagship launch cycle. Earlier statements from company leadership had already confirmed continued investment in rear display technology, with a focus on improving usability through frequent feature updates.

Existing features such as live translation, video teleprompter tools, and interactive elements are expected to be further refined with stronger AI integration, making the rear panel a more functional part of the device.

On the imaging side, the Pro model is reportedly being tested with a dual 200-megapixel camera setup, covering both the main and telephoto sensors. This could significantly enhance light capture and detail, particularly for zoom photography. Meanwhile, the standard Xiaomi 18 is expected to introduce a periscope telephoto camera, marking a notable upgrade for the base variant.

Performance improvements are also anticipated across the lineup. The Xiaomi 18 series is expected to debut with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chipset, built on a 2nm process. The Pro and Pro Max versions could feature a more powerful variant of the same chip, along with upgrades to haptics and speaker quality.

In addition, Xiaomi is reportedly testing external optical accessories such as magnetic lenses and clip-on zoom modules, which may further expand the camera capabilities beyond the built-in hardware.

Redmi is expected to unveil the Redmi Note 17 series in the third quarter of this year in China. Months ahead of the launch, tipster Digital Chat Station has seemingly revealed key details about what appears to be the Redmi Note 17 Pro Max.

Redmi Note 17 Pro Max key details seemingly revealed

The above leak by DCS suggests that Redmi is evaluating a phone featuring a 7-inch flat display and a battery of around 10,000mAh. While he did not specify the name of the device, some have speculated in the comments that he could be referring to the Redmi Note 17 Pro Max.

A previous leak claimed that this 10,000mAh Redmi phone may support 100W charging and could feature a 200-megapixel primary camera. At present, there is no information available about the other specifications of this phone.

What happened to the Redmi Note 16 series?

Since Redmi unveiled the Redmi Note 15 series in August 2025 in China, the next-generation series was expected to be called the Note 16. However, a report by XiaomiTime revealed that IMEI database listings indicate the next lineup will be called the Note 17. Readers are advised to wait for more reports to confirm whether the company has finalized the Note 17 branding for its next Note series.

This generational skip aligns with Xiaomi’s decision to skip the Xiaomi 16 and jump directly to Xiaomi 17 this year after launching the Xiaomi 15 series last year.

This year, Infinix launched a couple of smartphones, such as the Infinix Note Edge, Note 60, Note 60 Pro, and Note 60 Ultra. Now, it is gearing up to unveil the gaming-focused Infinix GT 50 Pro for the global market. Ahead of its launch, we bring you the first look at the Infinix GT 50 Pro’s design.

Infinix GT 50 Pro design revealed

The Infinix GT 50 Pro appears to carry forward the brand’s hypercar-inspired design language, but with a cleaner and more refined execution. The device introduces a Kevlar-like texture along with sharper, aerodynamic lines that give it a more premium in-hand feel.

One of the standout design elements is a transparent, colored “pipeline window” that highlights the internal cooling system. It gives the impression of active, moving components, almost as if the phone is “breathing” while coolant flows through its channels in real time, adding a dynamic and mechanical aesthetic to the rear panel.

Another key highlight is the introduction of the industry’s first dual-pressure shoulder triggers. These triggers introduce an advanced dual-pressure mapping system combined with a sliding switch mechanism, allowing multiple actions to be executed using a single finger. Designed for durability, they are rated for over 3 million presses and deliver ultra-fast response times of under 20ms for near-instant feedback. The setup supports up to eight customizable mapping points along with ten levels of pressure sensitivity, and comes pre-tuned for popular mobile games to make adoption easier. Beyond gaming, the triggers also enable features like sliding zoom in the camera and quick-access shortcuts across the interface, adding practical utility to everyday use.

The GT 50 Pro will feature the industry’s biggest micro-pump liquid cooling setup with a 6,437mm² diaphragm area, intended to improve heat dissipation during extended gaming sessions. The improved thermal system ensures full coverage of core heat zones, helping maintain stable performance under load.

Additionally, a new magnetic cooling accessory dubbed MagCharge 2.0 with wireless bypass charging is expected. This system directly powers the device while reducing battery heat, combining active cooling with wireless charging support. The aim is to sustain performance without the usual thermal throttling seen in gaming smartphones. It will support 15W wireless power and 12W active TEC refrigeration.

Ahead of the April 21 launch event, Oppo has been gradually revealing key details of the upcoming X9-series phones, such as the Find X9 Ultra and Find X9s Pro. The Ultra edition is expected to retain a large circular camera module like its predecessor, but recent leaks suggest there could be some modifications in its design. In a new development, a leaked image of the X9 Ultra has surfaced on Weibo, offering a clear look at its reworked rear design.

Oppo Find X9 Ultra’s design revealed

The Find X9 Ultra’s camera module features a bold outer circular ring that dominates the rear design, giving it a clean and symmetrical appearance. Inside the circle, the actual camera setup follows an irregular, asymmetrical layout within a rounded rectangular black island.

The camera setup includes a primary Sony LYT-901 200-megapixel main camera, a new 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and dual periscope cameras, which reportedly include a 200-megapixel OmniVision OV52A lens with 3x optical zoom and a 50-megapixel Samsung JN5 sensor with 10x optical zoom. The setup also includes a 3.2-megapixel multispectral sensor for color accuracy.

The rest of the back panel uses a leather-like textured finish with a dual-tone split at the bottom, adding grip and visual depth. At the top corner is an LED flash, followed by logos for Hasselblad and Oppo.

In related news, tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed that the Find X9 Ultra will have a massive 7,050mAh battery, which aligns with a previous report that claimed the same capacity. Additionally, the DCS leak also reveals other details, such as a bionic vibration motor, symmetrical dual speakers, 100W wired charging, and 50W wireless charging.

As far as other specs are concerned, a recently seen Geekbench listing revealed that it will feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. On the display front, it will have a 6.82-inch AMOLED screen offering a 2K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate.

Oppo 120W SuperVOOC power bank passes new safety standard

The newly announced Oppo 120W SuperVOOC power bank 15000 is positioned as a high-speed charging solution with a 15,000mAh capacity. It supports 120W output, enabling compatible Oppo and OnePlus smartphones to charge at their maximum supported speeds.
