Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices have appeared in early software testing leaks, hinting that the company has already begun working on One UI 9. Firmware sightings linked to unreleased models suggest that development is progressing alongside preparations for next-generation foldables expected later this year.

One UI 9 testing spotted on upcoming foldables

Recent reports indicate that internal One UI 9 builds have been detected for multiple upcoming foldable smartphones, including the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Flip 8. Firmware versions such as F976USQU0AZB1 and F776USQU0AZB1 have surfaced through test servers, pointing toward early-stage software testing.

Another mysterious device carrying the model number SM-F971U has also been seen running similar firmware, suggesting Samsung may be working on an additional foldable model alongside its usual Fold and Flip lineup. Leakers claim that One UI 9 will be based on Android 17 and could debut directly on new foldable devices once they launch.

Reports also mention that testing has extended to current foldable hardware like the Galaxy Z Fold 7, indicating that Samsung is preparing the update for both new and existing devices simultaneously. This early testing phase highlights Samsung’s strategy to accelerate software readiness ahead of hardware launches.

Galaxy Z Fold 8, Z Flip 8: What to expect?

While details about the hardware remain limited, early rumors suggest that the Galaxy Z Fold 8 could feature a triple-camera system, including a 200-megapixel main sensor, a 50-megapixel ultrawide camera, and a 12-megapixel telephoto unit. The Galaxy Z Flip 8 is tipped to run on a next-generation chipset, possibly built on a 2nm process, though confirmation is still pending.

Samsung is also believed to be developing a wider foldable device internally codenamed H8, which may adopt a different form factor compared to existing models. The next foldable lineup is expected to arrive later this year, potentially making these devices the first to ship with One UI 9 out of the box, while the Galaxy S26 series may debut with One UI 8.5 before transitioning to the newer software.

The Poco X8 series, which includes the Poco X8 Pro and X8 Pro Max, has been gradually receiving new certifications. In the latest development, the Pro Max edition has received approval from the Indonesian TKDN certification platform. While it has not revealed any technical details, it marks another hurdle cleared before launch.

Poco X8 Pro Max TKDN certified

The TKDN listing of the Poco X8 Pro Max reveals 5G support and nothing else. The handset carries the model number 2602BPC18G, which has already surfaced on other certification platforms, including IMDA in Singapore, BIS in India, and the EEC, suggesting preparations for availability across multiple markets.

While the above-mentioned listings only revealed the model number, a previously seen IMEI listing helped confirm the device’s final marketing name. In all likelihood, the Poco X8 Pro Max and the X8 Pro may debut in March across different countries.

Poco X8 Pro Max specifications (rumored)

Although official details remain undisclosed in certifications, leaks based on Xiaomi’s HyperOS 3 code provide a clearer picture of what to expect. The Poco X8 Pro Max is tipped to feature a large 8,500mAh battery along with support for 100W wired charging. In all likelihood, it will be a tweaked version of the China-exclusive Redmi Turbo 5 Max, with one major difference being in the battery department. To put this into context, the Redmi model packs a massive 9,000mAh battery.

The Poco X8 Pro Max is expected to feature a 6.83-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 1280 x 2772 pixels, combined with a 120Hz refresh rate, 3,840Hz PWM dimming, and peak brightness of up to 3,500 nits.

Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17e has surfaced in a fresh leak by FrontPageTech, offering an early look at its expected design changes, hardware upgrades, and positioning within the company’s lineup. The leak reveals that it could arrive sooner than usual, possibly through a press announcement later this month, signalling Apple’s renewed push in the affordable premium segment.

iPhone 17e key specifications, design

According to FPT, the iPhone 17e may drop the traditional notch in favor of Dynamic Island, aligning its appearance more closely with higher-end models. The device is expected to feature a 6.1-inch display, although reports indicate it may retain a 60Hz refresh rate, which could remain one of its compromises.

Apple appears to be targeting users looking for a relatively accessible entry into the iOS ecosystem, especially in markets where mid-range competition is strong. The handset is also tipped to introduce an upgraded 18-megapixel front camera with Centre Stage functionality, improving video calls and content creation.

On the rear, a single 48-megapixel Fusion camera is likely to continue, relying on improved processing from the newer chipset to deliver better imaging results rather than major hardware changes. Its rear design is almost identical to the previous generation.

Internally, the iPhone 17e is said to run on a lower-binned A19 processor paired with 8GB RAM, enabling support for Apple Intelligence features. Connectivity improvements may come via Apple’s C1X networking chip, while MagSafe charging is reportedly making its way to this tier for the first time.

Pricing is said to start at around $599, keeping it in line with its predecessor. Standard Black and White color options are likely, with a possible Lavender variant under consideration.

In September, Xiaomi may unveil the Xiaomi 18, 18 Pro, and 18 Pro Max in China. These devices will replace the Xiaomi 17, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max, which were announced in the same month last year. Well before the expected launch, a Chinese tech blogger has shared a render of the Xiaomi 18. Before reading ahead, readers are advised to take this report with a grain of salt, as the authenticity of the design could not be confirmed.

The above image showcases a square-shaped camera module for the Xiaomi 18 with rounded corners and a minimalist aesthetic. The triple cameras are arranged in a triangular layout, complemented by subtle Leica branding and an LED flash. This design is more in line with the recently unveiled Oppo Reno 15 series.

Xiaomi 18 specifications (rumored)

According to a recent leak by tipster Digital Chat Station, Xiaomi may increase the display from 6.3 inches to 6.4 inches on the Xiaomi 18. A bigger display means the device will internally have more space to accommodate advanced specs.

Therefore, while the Xiaomi 17 came with a massive 7,000mAh battery, it is likely that the Xiaomi 18’s battery could be even bigger than its predecessor. Under the hood, the device is said to feature the next-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chipset.

DCS also revealed that the entire Xiaomi 18 lineup will have a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera. Hence, the Xiaomi 18 may also include a 200-megapixel periscope camera. Like the previous generation, it may continue to feature a 50-megapixel main camera and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens. Considering the phone is scheduled to launch later this year, it is expected to ship with Android 17 and a new version of HyperOS.
