iQOO 15 Mini reportedly cancelled as compact phones receive lukewarm response

iQOO 15

There are a couple of new compact phones in the works. These include the Honor Magic 8 Slim / Mini, the Vivo X300s, the Oppo Find X9s, and the OnePlus 15s / 15T. There have been mixed reports on the existence of the iQOO 15 Mini. In November, tipster Digital Chat Station revealed that iQOO had stopped developing it, but a leak that surfaced a few days later said that it was still in development. However, a new Weibo post by DCS again states that the phone may not see the light of day.

iQOO 15 Mini may have been shelved

As can be seen above, a Weibo user asked DCS whether there was any news about iQOO’s compact phone, which is dubbed the iQOO 15 Mini by the rumor mill. DCS responded by saying, “The project is currently suspended. (machine translated).”

So, what could be the reason behind killing this project? In another Weibo post, the tipster suggests that compact smartphones are losing momentum, prompting two major parent brands to plan larger flagship models for 2026. These devices will sit above standard flagships, offering better cameras, stronger performance, and bigger batteries, possibly carrying “Max” or “Plus” branding.

From a broader industry perspective, compact flagship phones often face practical challenges. Developing a small handset capable of housing Pro-level hardware involves higher research and engineering costs, yet such devices still tend to compromise on sustained performance and battery capacity. As a result, they often end up being priced higher without offering clearly superior specifications, making it harder for compact flagships to appeal to a wider audience.

For instance, the upcoming OnePlus 15s / 15T is still rumoured to lack some essential features, such as an ultra-wide camera and wireless charging, despite being positioned as a top-tier flagship. This reality helps explain why brands may be stepping back from small-screen projects like the iQOO 15 Mini.

As far as rumored iQOO 15 Mini specs are concerned, it was said to feature a 6.31-inch OLED 1.5K display, a Dimensity 9500 or 9500+ chip, a 7,000mAh+ battery, a metal middle frame, and an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor. It was speculated to launch in April 2026.

Samsung expands Micro RGB TV lineup for 2026

From 55 inches to 115 inches, Samsung’s Micro RGB TVs are going big in 2026

Building on the 115-inch Micro RGB TV introduced in 2025, the upcoming lineup introduces refined display architecture designed to deliver more accurate colors, improved clarity, and smoother motion across all sizes.

At the core of the lineup is Samsung’s Micro RGB display technology, which uses independently lit red, green, and blue LEDs that are smaller than 100 microns.

Samsung is also pairing this hardware with advanced picture processing features such as AI-based upscaling and motion enhancement to improve brightness control and real-time visual refinement.

The 2026 Micro RGB TVs will be powered by Samsung’s new AI engine, designed to enhance frame-by-frame clarity and realism. Features such as expanded color enhancement and advanced HDR processing aim to improve dynamic range and preserve fine details in complex scenes. Samsung has also confirmed that these TVs achieve full coverage of the BT.2020 colour space, ensuring accurate reproduction of a wider range of colours.

In addition to visual upgrades, the lineup introduces improvements in smart features and audio. Samsung’s updated Vision AI platform enables conversational interactions through Bixby, content discovery, and access to AI-driven tools such as live translation and generative wallpapers.

Official: Xiaomi 17 Ultra is launching next week

Xiamoi 17 Ultra to launch next week

The Xiaomi 17 Ultra has officially been confirmed for launch next week, marking the arrival of Xiaomi’s next ultra-premium smartphone. With Xiaomi and Leica deepening their long-standing partnership, the upcoming flagship is expected to introduce meaningful changes rather than incremental updates, setting the stage for what could be Xiaomi’s most ambitious phone yet.

Xiaomi 17 Ultra launch timeframe officially confirmed

Xiamoi 17 Ultra to launch next week

Xiaomi founder, chairman, and CEO Lei Jun has confirmed that the Xiaomi 17 Ultra will be unveiled next week in China, likely following the company’s usual Thursday launch pattern. Alongside the launch confirmation, Xiaomi also announced a global upgrade to its imaging partnership with Leica. This new phase moves beyond joint development into a “strategic co-creation” model, where both brands collaborate from the earliest stages of product design to reshape mobile photography experiences.

As part of this upgraded collaboration, Xiaomi has introduced a new optical system for smartphones. The highlight is the industry’s first Leica APO-certified telephoto lens for mobile devices, designed to deliver improved colour accuracy, reduced chromatic aberration, and better clarity at long focal lengths. Xiaomi claims this system significantly improves night photography, high-contrast scenes, and telephoto image quality.

Leaks suggest the Xiaomi 17 Ultra returns to a flat display design and uses a high-efficiency panel that delivers clarity exceeding traditional 2K screens while consuming less power. At its core, the device is said to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, paired with a battery close to 7,000mAh.

Charging capabilities are tipped to include 100W wired and 80W wireless fast charging. The phone is expected to support ultrasonic fingerprint authentication and maintain IP68 dust and water resistance.

The camera setup reportedly shifts to a triple rear camera system. The primary sensor is expected to be OmniVision’s new 50-megapixel OV50X 1-inch sensor with large pixel size and advanced HDR processing. This is likely to be joined by a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera with macro support and a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera, possibly offering up to 5x optical zoom.

In addition to the smartphone, Xiaomi may also unveil a new NAS product at the same event, signalling broader ecosystem expansion alongside the Xiaomi 17 Ultra. For those who are unaware, the 17 Ultra’s blind pre-orders have already started in China. Globally, it is expected to launch in March along with the standard Xiaomi 17.

HONOR Magic 8 Pro

Honor is reportedly working on a compact phone with a slim and lightweight build. Since the official moniker of the device is under wraps, it is being referred to by different names, such as Magic 8 Slim and Magic 8 Mini.

Honor Magic 8 Slim / Mini key details tipped

Hoonor Magic 8 Slim / Mini specs tipped

Starting from the front, the Honor Magic 8 Slim / Mini (codenamed Lindy) will feature a 6.3-inch display with a flat design. A previous leak from the same source revealed that it will be an OLED LTPO panel delivering a 1.5K resolution.

Under the hood, the Magic 8 Slim / Mini is expected to feature the Dimensity 9500 chipset. Considering that MediaTek is already gearing up to launch the Dimensity 9500 Plus chipset as its overclocked variant in March or April 2026, the Magic 8 Slim may debut much earlier, probably after the Honor Power 2, which is expected to launch in January 2026.

Without going into details, the tipster mentions in the new leak that the Magic 8 Slim / Mini will offer decent imaging capabilities, a metal frame, and an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor. It will be available in four finishes, such as Feather White, Shadow Black, Light Orange, and Fairy Purple. He added that the device is ready, and its development and launch are being accelerated.

In a previous leak, the tipster revealed that this slim phone has a thickness of only 5 to 6.x mm despite packing a 5,500mAh battery. At present, there is no information about its fast-charging capabilities, but it is said to support wireless charging.

A previous leak claimed that the Honor Magic 8 Slim / Mini may feature a 200-megapixel main camera, but a newer leak claimed that this sensor could be replaced by a 50-megapixel lens. The camera setup is also expected to feature a periscope telephoto camera.

Previous reports have also suggested that Honor is also working on the Honor Magic 8 RSR (aka Honor Magic 8 Ultra). This will be the company’s ultimate flagship phone powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. The Magic 8 RSR and 8 Slim / Mini are expected to debut together.

OnePlus-Ace-6T

Yesterday, OnePlus President Li Jie Louis confirmed that the brand will unveil the all-new OnePlus Turbo series in January 2026 in China. While the company has not officially revealed full specifications yet, multiple credible sources suggest that the upcoming series will target users who prioritize sustained performance and endurance. A recent leak by tipster Digital Chat Station has shared few more details about the new series

OnePlus Turbo series: What to expect?

According to DCS, the OnePlus Turbo series will introduce a newly developed native 165Hz refresh rate display. This panel is said to be exclusive within its price category and has reportedly been redesigned with larger rounded corners for improved visual consistency. Unlike previously used high-refresh panels, this screen is believed to be a fresh implementation rather than a reused solution.

The device is tipped to run on a Snapdragon 8-series chipset, with several reports pointing towards a customised Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 variant, also referred to as a performance-tuned version. Built on a 4nm process, the platform is said to work alongside OnePlus’ in-house gaming optimization engine, enabling better thermal control and more stable output during extended gaming sessions.

Other reports indicate that the phone may pack a battery close to the 9,000mAh range, a figure rarely seen in performance-focused smartphones. OnePlus President has previously hinted that the Turbo series will deliver unusually strong performance and battery life for its segment, positioning it directly against similarly priced performance-centric phones.

LG Micro RGB evo could redefine high-end LCD televisions

LG MIcro RGB evo

LG Micro RGB evo has been officially announced ahead of CES 2026, marking LG’s entry into the flagship RGB television segment. While the company has not shared pricing or availability timelines yet, it has confirmed that the new TV represents a major step beyond MiniLED technology. Recognized with a CES 2026 Innovation Award, the Micro RGB evo sets the tone for LG’s next phase in premium home entertainment.

At the core of the LG Micro RGB evo is a new Micro RGB backlight system that uses extremely small individual RGB LEDs. These LEDs are controlled with OLED-like precision, drawing from over a decade of LG’s OLED development. This allows finer control over colour and brightness compared to conventional MiniLED TVs, resulting in more accurate image reproduction.

Powering the display is the upgraded Alpha 11 AI Processor Gen 3, which features a Dual AI Engine with Dual Super Upscaling. This setup processes two different AI enhancement techniques at the same time, improving sharpness while keeping visuals natural and well-balanced. The processing also enables RGB Primary Color Ultra, delivering full colour reproduction across BT.2020, DCI-P3, and Adobe RGB standards, all certified by Intertek.

The Micro RGB evo also introduces Micro Dimming Ultra, managing over a thousand dimming zones for precise control of light and contrast. This helps preserve detail in both bright highlights and darker scenes, placing it among the highest-performing LCD TVs in terms of contrast accuracy.

Beyond picture quality, LG continues to focus on personalisation through its webOS platform. Features such as Voice ID, AI Picture and Sound Wizard, and a customised home screen adapt the experience to individual users. AI Concierge, AI Chatbot, and AI Search further simplify content discovery.

The LG Micro RGB evo, model MRGB95, will be offered in 100-inch, 86-inch, and 75-inch sizes. Visitors can experience the TV firsthand at LG’s booth during CES 2026 in Las Vegas from January 6 to January 9.
