Meanwhile, iQOO is also gearing up to launch the iQOO Neo 11 in China. It is expected to feature a 2K 144Hz OLED screen integrated with an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor.

Wobble to launch its first smartphone on November 19 in India

First Wobble phone incoming

Wobble, part of Indkal Technologies, is preparing to introduce a major new product category to its fast-growing technology portfolio. The company has shared that an announcement event is scheduled in the coming weeks, where more details on this expansion will be confirmed. While specifics are yet to be fully revealed, the brand suggests that this will be a significant moment not only for its business but also for the Indian consumer tech landscape.

Wobble has officially confirmed that it is stepping into the smartphone category with a completely India-designed and India-manufactured device. The first model will be unveiled in New Delhi on Nov. 19 and will later reach other global markets during 2025–26. The company considers this launch an important achievement, as very few Indian brands have developed a premium smartphone entirely within the country.

The milestone follows Wobble’s growing success in displays, especially after the introduction of the massive 116.5-inch Wobble Maximus television, marketed as the largest screen size available in India. With this foundation, the brand now aims to offer a smartphone that aligns with modern expectations around creativity, personal expression, performance and design.

Wobble states that the upcoming device will reflect the needs and personality of young users in India and around the world. Indkal Technologies CEO Anand Dubey highlighted that the phone is meant for people who prioritize innovation and self-expression in their daily use of technology.

Although key hardware information such as chipset, camera sensors in megapixel counts, display specifications and price in Rs are yet to be announced, the brand hints at a strong focus on both design identity and everyday capability.

As the launch date approaches, more updates are expected to surface, setting expectations for a smartphone designed in India but built to compete across multiple international markets.

Honor GT Pro launch date-

Recently, OnePlus unveiled the OnePlus 15 and Ace 6 as its first phones equipped with a 165Hz refresh rate display.

According to the above Weibo post by tipster Experience More, the upcoming Honor GT 2 and GT 2 Pro will have a 6.83-inch screen like the OnePlus Ace 6. He added that both phones will support a 1.5K resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate. The tipster did not reveal anything else about the devices.

Speculations are rife that the Honor GT 2 would be a good rival for the upcoming OnePlus Ace 6 Turbo. The reason behind that is both phones are expected to feature the same upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset.

A recent leak claimed that the Ace 6 Turbo will have an 8,000mAh battery. At the same time, rumors surrounding the GT 2 suggest that it may pack an 8,800mAh battery. Both phones are also said to support 100W charging.

Other rumored common features on both phones include an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor and a metal middle frame. While there is no information about the RAM and storage configurations of the Ace 6 Turbo, the GT 2 may arrive with up to 24GB of RAM and 1TB of storage.

The Ace 6 is said to have a 32-megapixel front camera and a 50-megapixel + 8-megapixel dual-camera setup. At present, there is no information about the Honor GT 2’s camera specifications. Both phones are expected to debut by December in China.

As far as the Honor GT 2 Pro is concerned, it is expected to feature the newer Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip. However, the rumor mill is yet to leak other details of the Pro variant.

iPhone 20 tipped to feature solid-state haptic buttons across all controls

iPhone 17 Pro / 17 Pro Max

The rumor mill has been consistently leaking details about the iPhone 18 series that’s arriving in 2026 and even the 20th anniversary iPhone 20 series, which is expected in 2027. A recent leak from tipster Setsuna Digital (via Weibo) offers an early glimpse at what could be a major shift in how Apple’s devices are controlled.

According to the post, Apple is preparing to move beyond the familiar click-mechanical buttons and into a new era of solid-state controls with haptic feedback, not just for iPhones, but also for its other devices.

Solid-state buttons with ultrasonic feedback

Apple iPhone 20 series to feature solid-state buttons, claims Sestuna Digital

According to the source, by the time the iPhone 20 debuts in 2027, Apple intends to mass-produce solid-state buttons for the power key, volume controls, operational buttons and camera control buttons. Rather than moving parts, these buttons would rely on pressure sensing and “local vibration” feedback to give a button-like feel.

Prior to that, the leak says the camera control button will be simplified on the 2026-era “iPhone 18”, dropping its capacitive layer and retaining only a pressure-sensing mechanism. Following that, Apple plans to adopt piezoelectric ceramic components to provide the haptic sensation in later models.

The broader initiative is expected to replace mechanical keys across Apple’s entire ecosystem, including future iPad and Apple Watch models. Internally linked to the long-rumoured “Project Bongo”, the effort reportedly focuses on eliminating accidental inputs while ensuring a consistent and reliable tactile experience for users at scale.

As these kinds of interface changes tend to require significant validation, the leak suggests this transition is still in the research and refinement phase. The promise is durability (fewer moving parts to break) and new gesture possibilities (firm press, long hold, swipe) but the challenge is getting the tactile feedback and responsiveness right before rollout. Until then, mechanical buttons will likely remain in place while Apple works behind the scenes.
