On May 20, iQOO will take the wraps off the iQOO 15T, a performance-focused flagship phone in China. With only a few days remaining until launch, the brand has been steadily confirming key details about the device. Earlier this week, it revealed the display specifications, and now it has confirmed the battery size, charging capabilities, and primary camera details.

iQOO 15T’s battery, charging, and camera details confirmed

The iQOO 15T is equipped with the largest battery in the flagship lineup — an ultra-slim 8,000mAh battery paired with 100W fast charging. It supports Global Direct Drive Power Supply 2.0, which helps reduce heat while gaming and charging simultaneously. The durable high-capacity single-cell battery is designed to deliver all-day battery life, from morning classes to bedtime.

Moving on to the optics, the iQOO 15T will, for the first time on an iQOO flagship phone, feature a 200-megapixel large-sensor super main camera capable of delivering highly detailed shots even when zooming in. It also supports the same CIPA 4.5 professional-grade stabilisation found on Vivo’s imaging flagship phones, along with 4x lossless zoom for clearer shots at both short and long distances. Other features include full focal-length portrait photography and AI-powered imaging tools.

Recent reports have revealed that the iQOO 15T will feature a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens alongside the primary camera, as well as a 16-megapixel front-facing camera. The device will ship with OriginOS 6-based Android 16.

On the front, the iQOO 15T will feature a 6.82-inch 2K flat display with support for a 144Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, it will be powered by the Dimensity 9500 Monster Edition chipset for improved gaming performance. The inclusion of the self-developed Q3 e-sports chip will enable full-scene ray tracing, super 2K resolution, and 2K + 144fps gaming in select titles. At present, there is no clarity on whether the iQOO 15T will launch in markets outside China.

For the past few years, Xiaomi has been launching its camera-focused premium flagship phones in September, followed by Redmi’s flagship phones, which are performance-driven but comparatively inferior in cameras, in October. A new update from reliable tipster Digital Chat Station suggests that Redmi’s flagship phones may launch before Xiaomi’s this year.

Redmi K100 series launch timeframe tipped

As seen in DCS’s Weibo post, the Redmi K100 series may be released ahead of schedule in Q3. Reports have revealed that the Redmi K100 Pro Max will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro, which is expected to launch officially in September. Therefore, it is likely that the Redmi K100 series may debut in the same month.

The same source has previously claimed that the Xiaomi 18, 18 Pro, and 18 Pro Max will also debut in September. By launching the Redmi K100 series and Xiaomi 18 series in the same month, Xiaomi may end up cannibalizing sales of both lineups. Therefore, it remains to be seen whether the company pushes the Xiaomi 18 lineup launch to October this year.

As far as the Redmi lineup is concerned, it may include the Redmi K100 and K100 Pro Max powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chipsets, respectively. Some vague rumors suggest that the lineup may include a mysterious third mode model, but its details are scarce.

In the comments section of the same Weibo post, DCS further revealed that Redmi may unveil new products in Q4. While the tipster did not specifically mention what is launching during that period, it is likely that the Redmi Turbo 6 series may debut in Q4.

Honor has officially started teasing a new smartphone lineup called the Honor WIN Turbo in China. The teaser suggests that the upcoming device will focus heavily on gaming performance and battery life, while also introducing a refreshed design language. The announcement has additionally sparked speculation around a more premium Win 2 series that could arrive later this year.

Honor Win Turbo teased with gaming-focused positioning

The teaser image shared by Honor reveals a smartphone with a large rectangular camera module featuring angular edges and a sporty aesthetic. A glowing “Win” branding element can also be seen integrated into the camera island, hinting at a performance-oriented identity. Honor describes the phone as a “durable gaming warrior,” suggesting a focus on sustained performance and long battery endurance.

The Honor Win Turbo could offer strong price-to-performance value and may arrive in time for China’s 618 (June 18) shopping festival. Reliable tipster Digital Chat Station claims Win Turbo has the SER-AN00, which is also associated with the Honor Power 2, which debuted in January this year in China. Therefore, it is likely that the Win Turbo could just a rebranded or tweaked version of the Power 2.

For reference, the Honor Power 2 features a 6.79-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, Dimensity 8500 Elite chipset, 12GB RAM, and up to 512GB storage. It also packs a massive 10,080mAh battery with 80W charging support. On the camera front, the phone includes a 50-megapixel primary camera, a 5-megapixel ultra-wide sensor, and a 16-megapixel front camera.

Honor Win 2 series may launch sooner than expected

DCS has additionally hinted that the Honor Win 2 series could launch earlier than expected in China. The lineup may feature a 2nm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 series chip, an internal cooling fan, and a battery capacity crossing the 10,000mAh mark.

The upcoming series is also said to target a higher positioning compared to the current Win Turbo models and may directly compete with performance-focused phones from rival sub-brands. These include the Redmi K100 series, iQOO 16, and OnePlus 16.

Vivo has launched a couple of devices in the Vivo V70 series, including the Vivo V70, V70 Elite, and V70 FE. Some reports suggest that the brand is also gearing up to unveil the V70 Lite, which could be the last phone in the series. This is because the Vivo V80 has now been spotted in the IMEI database for the first time. Interestingly, a new S-series phone has also appeared in the IMEI database.

Vivo V80, Vivo S2 model numbers revealed

A report that surfaced in April revealed that the upcoming iQOO 16 and Vivo V80 had appeared in the GSMA IMEI database. It appears that the V80’s listing has now been updated with the model number V2630, as per a report by PassionateGeekz.

The Vivo S2 has also been spotted with the model number V2576 in the IMEI database. None of these listings have revealed any technical details about the devices.

The Vivo S2 will be the company’s attempt to bring back the S-series to the Indian market after a break of seven years since the launch of the Vivo S1 in 2019. Likely, the S2 could end up as a mid-range phone in Vivo’s crowded lineup, which includes X-series flagship phones, V-series camera-focused sub-flagship phones, T-series mid-range performance-driven phones sold through Flipkart, and Y-series entry-level and budget smartphones.

As far as the Vivo V80 is concerned, it could be based on the Vivo S60, which is expected to debut this month in China. The Snapdragon 8s Gen 3-powered Vivo S60 is said to feature a 6.59-inch OLED panel offering a 1.5K resolution and a 7,000mAh battery with 90W charging support. It is also expected to feature a Sony IMX8-series periscope telephoto camera, an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint scanner, a metal middle frame, and an IP68/69-rated dust and water-resistant chassis.

However, on the other side, only one Vivo X300 series smartphone has crossed the 7,000mAh battery mark. A new leak by tipster Smart Pikachu reveals that Vivo may finally bring bigger batteries to the X500 lineup.

According to the tipster, Vivo is expected to adopt high-density battery technology more extensively, with even its flagship X-series devices reportedly entering the “7-series” battery capacity range, hinting at batteries starting at around 7,000mAh.

In China, the X300 lineup includes four devices: the X300 and X300 Pro, which are powered by 6,040mAh and 6,510mAh batteries, respectively. These devices were unveiled in October last year. The X300s and X300 Ultra, which went official last month in China, are equipped with 6,000mAh and 7,100mAh batteries, respectively.

So far, reports have revealed that Vivo may launch three X500 series models in September this year in China. The lineup may include the Vivo X500, X500 Pro, and X500 Pro Max with 6.59-inch, 6.37-inch, and 6.85-inch displays, respectively.

The Vivo X500 Ultra, which may debut next year in the first half, could sport the same display as the X500 Pro Max. While the Ultra edition may feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro, the other X500 series devices could be equipped with Dimensity 9600 series chipsets.

The Vivo X500 series will also reportedly include a model called the Vivo X500e, but there is no clarity on whether it is heading to China or if it is meant only for the global market.

Later this month, iQOO will unveil the iQOO 15T flagship phone equipped with a 2K OLED panel, a Dimensity 9500 chip, and an 8,000mAh battery.

In today’s leak, the tipster stated that the engineering prototype of the device is equipped with a 50-megapixel primary camera featuring a large 1/1.3-inch sensor, paired with a periscope telephoto camera that uses a medium-sized sensor.

The tipster did not mention anything about the iQOO 16’s ultra-wide camera. However, it appears that the device may continue to feature triple 50-megapixel cameras on the back.

Realme recently confirmed that it will announce the Realme 16T 5G on May 22 in India. Today, the brand revealed that the launch event will also introduce new TWS earbuds and a smartwatch. The upcoming Realme Buds Air 8 Pro and Realme Watch S5 are expected to expand the company’s growing ecosystem lineup with a focus on audio, fitness, and seamless device connectivity.

Realme Buds Air 8 Pro key details confirmed

The Realme Buds Air 8 Pro is designed for users looking for stronger noise cancellation and enhanced sound quality. The earbuds will support up to 55dB Ultra Depth Active Noise Cancellation, which can automatically adapt based on surrounding noise levels. This feature is expected to help reduce distractions while travelling, working, or listening to music indoors.

Realme has also confirmed a dual DAC driver setup for the Buds Air 8 Pro. According to the company, the earbuds are tuned to deliver deeper bass, clearer vocals, and improved detail across music playback and gaming sessions. The earbuds will also include AI-powered call noise cancellation to improve voice clarity during calls in crowded environments.

The Buds Air 8 Pro is expected to work closely with other Realme ecosystem products, including smartphones, tablets, and wearables for faster pairing and smarter interactions.

Vivo may soon enter the compact vlogging camera segment with a new handheld gimbal device reportedly called the Vivo Pocket, as per a new report by Chinese publication Leifeng. The device is expected to target creators and vloggers looking for a more portable shooting solution. Here’s a look at the new details that have surfaced recently.

Vivo Pocket may rival DJI’s compact camera lineup

According to the publication, the Vivo Pocket handheld gimbal camera could launch during the fourth quarter of this year. Supply chain details suggest that mass production may begin in October, while the commercial launch is currently expected between November and December. This contradicts a previous report that Vivo’s vlogging camera may debut alongside the X500 series in September. 

The report also claims that the device could feature a large 1/1.1-inch camera sensor, which would place it among the more premium compact vlogging cameras in the market. Vivo is reportedly preparing initial inventory in the range of one million units, indicating that the company may have strong expectations for the product category.

Interestingly, Vivo had reportedly planned to launch the device earlier in the third quarter. However, the launch schedule may have been pushed back after rival brands also started working on similar handheld gimbal camera products.

According to Digital Chat Station, the Vivo Pocket leak is accurate and matches information the tipster had previously received. The prototype device is currently said to feature a large 1/1.1-inch camera sensor along with Sony’s LYT-901 200-megapixel sensor. The tipster also claims that the device is being designed with a hardware approach similar to flagship smartphone imaging systems.

Apart from the large sensor, the Vivo Pocket is also expected to include a capable processor, although the exact chipset name has not yet been revealed. The tipster also claims that the Pocket is scheduled for launch towards the end of this year and could directly compete with products from DJI in the handheld camera segment.

Oppo, Huawei, and Honor may also enter the segment

The report states that Oppo has already initiated an internal handheld camera project with the codename “Fuyao.” That product is also expected to arrive later this year. Vivo recently started experience recruitment for its first handheld gimbal camera in Shenzhen, with preference reportedly being given to users who already have experience using gimbal-based products.

Apart from Vivo and Oppo, companies such as Huawei and Honor are also said to be developing similar products, although their launches may happen sometime in 2027. This suggests that smartphone brands are now exploring dedicated camera accessories and creator-focused hardware as smartphone profit margins continue to tighten.

Vivo has started teasing the design direction of the upcoming Vivo S60 series in China. Han Boxiao, Product Manager at Vivo Communication Technology, recently shared details about the inspiration behind the new lineup, hinting at a fresh summer-themed look with a reflective silver-white finish. The teaser arrives as more leaks continue to reveal possible hardware details for the Vivo S60 and Vivo S60 Pro Mini models.

Vivo S60 series teaser reveals premium design

According to Boxiao, the phone has a silver-white rear panel inspired by sparkling reflections on the ocean during summer. When the device moves, the light effects on the back are supposed to shift like shimmering waves. He also mentions a large integrated cold-carved glass back, which should give the phone a smooth and premium in-hand feel.

The above image also suggests that the S60’s camera setup could be placed at the top-left corner, like the previous generation. However, the S60 Pro Mini may continue to feature a horizontal camera module like the S50 Pro Mini from last year.

Last week, tipster Digital Chat Station revealed that the standard Vivo S60 could feature a 6.59-inch 1.5K display with slim bezels and rounded corners. Vivo may pack a battery capacity starting in the 7,000mAh range, along with support for 90W fast charging.

The phone is also tipped to include a Sony IMX8-series periscope telephoto camera. Other expected features include an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner, IP68 and IP69 ratings, a metal middle frame, and support for magnetic accessories through compatible cases.

Today, the tipster revealed that the Vivo S60 will be powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset. At present, there is no information about the S60 Pro Mini’s specifications. Other reports have suggested that both models may support a telephoto extender accessory.

Vivo X500 FE in the making?

Last year’s Vivo S50 Pro Mini arrived globally as the Vivo X300 FE. Based on that strategy, the Vivo S60 Pro Mini could later debut as the Vivo X500 FE sometime during the first half of 2027 for the global market. Vivo is also said to be planning a collaboration with a popular Chinese anime IP for one of the phone’s color variants.

Xiaomi has started revealing more details about the upcoming Xiaomi 17 Max ahead of its expected launch later this month. The company has now confirmed several core features of the smartphone, suggesting that the device will focus heavily on battery life, display quality, and flagship-level photography. The teasers also hint at Xiaomi making a stronger return to the large-screen premium smartphone category.

Xiaomi 17 Max’s key specifications confirmed

One of the biggest highlights of the Xiaomi 17 Max is its massive 8000mAh battery, which Xiaomi claims is the largest ever used in one of its smartphones. The device is expected to support 100W wired charging along with 50W wireless charging. Xiaomi is using its latest silicon-carbon battery technology, which should help maintain a slimmer body despite the larger battery capacity.

The phone will also feature a 6.9-inch “Super Pixel” display, similar to the panel expected on the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max. Xiaomi says the screen uses a new RGB sub-pixel arrangement that delivers near-2K visual sharpness while consuming less power than conventional 1.5K OLED panels. The display is also expected to use a new red luminous material for improved brightness efficiency and more uniform colors.

Xiaomi has also confirmed that the Xiaomi 17 Max will feature the brand’s first Leica-backed 200-megapixel primary camera. The setup is expected to include a 50-megapixel 3x periscope telephoto camera and a 50-megapixel ultrawide sensor for multi-range photography. The high-resolution main sensor could also help improve zoom quality without relying heavily on digital cropping.

Powering the smartphone will be the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. Xiaomi says the processor is designed to deliver flagship-grade gaming and multitasking performance. The company has also teased a redesigned internal layout, which may help improve heat management and camera module placement.

The Xiaomi 17 Max is expected to launch on May 21 in China and may arrive in shades such as Sky Blue, White, and Pixel Black.

The latest teaser confirms that the upcoming Xiaomi Smart Band 10 Pro will debut soon, likely alongside the Xiaomi 17 Max. The teaser highlights an upgraded, slim, and lightweight design.

Apart from the Smart Band 10 Pro, Xiaomi has also teased a new pair of earbuds, hinting at the launch of the company’s first clip-on style audio product. However, the company has yet to confirm the official name or specifications of the earbuds.

Reliable tipster Digital Chat Station has seemingly leaked the display sizes of the four devices expected to be part of the upcoming Oppo Find X10 lineup. In the comments section of the same post, the tipster also revealed what appear to be the display sizes of the Vivo X500 series. Here’s a look at what the tipster shared.

Vivo X500 series display sizes tipped

The post suggests that the Vivo X500 series will feature three display size options, including 6.59-inch, 6.37-inch, and 6.85-inch panels.

It appears that the standard Vivo X500 will feature a 6.59-inch display. The X500 Pro may come with a 6.37-inch screen, as the device could be positioned as an alternative to the iPhone 18 Pro, which is also expected to feature a similar display size.

The Vivo X500 Pro Max may feature a 6.85-inch display. Reports suggest that the Vivo X500 Ultra could debut in the first half of 2027 and may feature the same display size as the X500 Pro Max.

Digital Chat Station claimed in another Weibo post that only the large-screen variant in Vivo’s next-generation 2nm flagship series is currently testing a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera. In other words, only the X500 Pro Max may feature the said camera, while the other variants could arrive with a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera.

The tipster further claims that the prototype device is equipped with a 50-megapixel primary camera featuring a large 1/1.28-inch sensor and LOFIC technology for improved dynamic range and light capture. In addition, Vivo is reportedly considering an upgraded 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera for the lineup.

iBall has announced the launch of the Cinebar 560, a new 5.1 channel soundbar designed for users looking for a more immersive home entertainment experience. The latest sound system focuses on combining cinematic surround sound with a sleek design that blends easily into modern living room setups. Alongside audio performance, the company is also highlighting versatile connectivity and wireless speaker support.

iBall Cinebar 560 key features

The iBall Cinebar 560 features a true 5.1 channel setup consisting of a three-driver soundbar, dual wireless rear satellite speakers and a 20.32cm wireless subwoofer. Powered by Dolby Audio, the system delivers up to 800W RMS output aimed at movies, OTT content, gaming, music playback and live sports viewing.

According to iBall, the soundbar has been tuned to offer wider sound separation, stronger bass response and clearer dialogue reproduction. The wireless rear speakers are designed to create a more room-filling surround sound effect without requiring excessive cable management across the room.

The soundbar also comes with multiple connectivity options, including Bluetooth 5.3, TV ARC, Optical IN, USB and AUX support. This allows compatibility with televisions, smartphones, laptops, gaming consoles and streaming devices. Users additionally get dedicated EQ modes for adjusting the audio profile based on the type of content being played.

Apart from audio performance, the Cinebar 560 features a premium gloss finish combined with a perforated mesh design for a more modern appearance. iBall has also included a front LED display, remote control support and wall-mount compatibility for easier installation and day-to-day usage.

iBall Cinebar 560 soundbar is available with an introductory price of Rs 19,999 (~$210) on Amazon.

While the brand remained relatively inactive after 2018 in the Indian market, Zebronics confirmed the acquisition of iBall in January 2026.

Coming this October, Oppo may unveil the Oppo Find X10 series. If a new leak is to be believed, the X10 lineup could include as many as four models.

The tipster also claims that all models in the lineup will feature large-radius corner designs for a more rounded appearance. In addition, the entire Find X10 series is expected to support LIPO ultra-narrow bezel packaging technology, which could help achieve slimmer and more symmetrical bezels around the display.

Samsung has confirmed that a second wave of the One UI 9 beta rollout will begin later this month for Galaxy S26 users in additional regions. The Android 17-based software was recently introduced in limited markets, and the company is now preparing to expand beta access gradually. Apart from visual changes, the update also introduces AI-focused features, customisation improvements and stronger security tools.

One UI 9 beta expands to more Galaxy S26 users

According to Samsung, the second phase of the One UI 9 beta rollout will begin on May 26. The company had previously announced beta availability for countries including India, the US, the UK, Germany, South Korea and Poland, although not all users received access during the first phase. Galaxy S26 owners can register for the beta program through the Samsung Members app once it becomes available in their region.

One UI 9 introduces several interface changes across the system. Samsung has redesigned the Quick Panel, allowing users to independently adjust the size and placement of controls for brightness, media playback and sound. The update also adds new features to Samsung Notes, including additional pen styles and decorative tape effects aimed at improving journaling and note customization.

Samsung has also integrated Creative Studio tools inside the Notes app, allowing users to create profile cards without switching between multiple applications. Accessibility features have been improved as well, with adjustable Mouse Key speeds and enhanced TalkBack integration. A new Text Spotlight feature enlarges selected text inside a floating window to make reading easier.

The company says One UI 9 also focuses heavily on proactive security. The software can reportedly detect suspicious or potentially harmful apps more aggressively and warn users before installation or execution. Samsung may also recommend deleting risky applications through updated security policies.

While the beta is currently limited to the Galaxy S26 lineup, Samsung is already rolling out stable One UI 8.5 updates for older devices, which suggests wider One UI 9 beta support could arrive later. The stable version of One UI 9 is expected to debut alongside Samsung’s next flagship Galaxy smartphones later this year. Which One UI 9 feature are you most excited to try on your Galaxy device?

Oppo has confirmed that the Find X9s and Find X9 Ultra will launch in India on May 21. The new additions to the Find X9 lineup are heavily focused on photography, video recording and sustained flagship performance. Alongside upgraded Hasselblad camera systems, both devices also feature large silicon-carbon batteries and dedicated cooling technologies designed for extended camera use.

Oppo Find X9 Ultra focuses on long-range photography

The Find X9 Ultra introduces Oppo’s latest Hasselblad Master Camera System paired with the company’s LUMO Image Engine for computational photography enhancements. The device features a 200-megapixel primary camera, a 200-megapixel 3x telephoto camera, and a dedicated 50-megapixel 10x optical telephoto camera designed for long-range shooting.

Oppo says the phone uses an industry-first Quintuple Prism Periscope Structure, where incoming light is reflected five times internally before reaching the sensor. This allows the device to deliver an approximate 230mm equivalent focal length without making the camera module excessively large. The company says the setup prioritizes optical image capture before software processing to preserve more natural details at higher zoom levels.

The Find X9 Ultra also supports O-Log2 recording, ACES color workflows, custom 3D LUT integration, 8K 30fps video recording and 4K 120fps recording across both the primary and telephoto cameras. Powering the device is the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset paired with OPPO’s Trinity Engine and a next-generation 3D Cryo-velocity Cooling System. The phone packs a 7050mAh silicon-carbon battery aimed at longer shooting endurance.

Oppo Find X9s brings flagship imaging in a slimmer body

The Find X9s comes with a triple 50-megapixel Hasselblad camera setup housed inside a slim 7.99mm body. It supports 4K 60fps Dolby Vision recording across all cameras and includes dual-video capture capabilities alongside AI-powered features through ColorOS 16.

The device is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9500s chipset built on a 3nm process. OPPO has also included an advanced vapor chamber cooling system with a 32,052.5mm² heat dissipation area and a 7025mAh silicon-carbon battery. To sum up, it is a toned-down version of the existing Find X9.

Pricing details for both models will be announced during the India launch event on May 21.

iQOO has officially confirmed the launch date of the iQOO 15T, with the smartphone set to debut in China on May 20 at 7 PM local time. The company has also revealed key details about the phone’s display, chipset, battery, and gaming-focused features, giving a clearer idea of what to expect from the upcoming flagship.

The iQOO 15T will become the first smartphone to feature the Dimensity 9500 Monster Edition chipset globally.

The Q3 chip is also expected to support simultaneous 2K resolution and 144Hz frame interpolation during gaming.

The Dimensity 9500-powered phone is expected to pack an 8000mAh battery with support for 100W wired fast charging. iQOO has also confirmed a dual rear camera setup consisting of a 200-megapixel primary sensor and a 50-megapixel secondary camera, while the front camera uses a 16-megapixel sensor.

In terms of design, the iQOO 15T follows the styling of the iQOO 15 Ultra with a transparent-inspired square camera module. The device will be available in Qingyun, Track Edition, and Legend Edition color variants. It is expected to run OriginOS 6 based on Android 16 and weighs around 216 grams.
