Samsung is reportedly gearing up to launch its first-ever tri-fold smartphone, rumoured to be called the Galaxy Z TriFold, as early as next month. This highly anticipated foldable device has been the subject of multiple leaks, revealing exciting new specifications and hinting at a groundbreaking addition to Samsung’s portfolio.
According to renowned tipster Evan Blass (aka evleaks), the Galaxy Z TriFold will feature a 6.5-inch cover display complemented by a large 10-inch inner screen when fully opened. The outer display is said to deliver an impressive 2,600 nits of peak brightness, offering excellent visibility outdoors, while the inner panel is expected to reach 1,600 nits.
Photography enthusiasts will be excited by reports that the device is set to sport a massive 200MP primary rear camera—the highest resolution yet on a Samsung foldable. Powering all of this will be a robust 5,437mAh battery. Under the hood, expectations point to a Snapdragon chipset, which should provide top-tier performance for multitasking and productivity.
In terms of design, the Galaxy Z TriFold will feature three panels with slightly different thicknesses —3.9mm, 4.0mm, and 4.2mm —creating a unique folding mechanism. When fully folded, the device is rumoured to be 14mm thick—striking a balance between portability and durability.
Samsung has already offered a sneak peek of the Z TriFold at a recent event in Korea, with video footage giving fans a closer look at the innovative design. While official confirmation is still pending, early rumours point to a potential launch date in Korea on December 5.
The Galaxy Z TriFold is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing smartphones of the year, combining powerful hardware, an innovative folding design, and advanced camera features. Stay tuned for more updates as Samsung’s next-generation foldable approaches its highly anticipated debut.
Oppo is set to debut its Reno15 series in China on November 17. For those curious about international availability, the Reno15 Pro was recently spotted in various certifications, suggesting it will soon be released outside China.
A new rumour indicates that the standard Reno15 is also headed for a global launch, including India, expected sometime before February 2026. However, the international version will differ from its Chinese counterpart.
Oppo Reno15:
The new Oppo Reno15 will sport a 6.59-inch (2640 x 1216p) flat OLED 1.5K display with a 120Hz refresh rate and Gorilla Glass protection. It is now powered by the latest Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 SoC coupled with 12GB/16GB RAM and 256GB/512GB storage.
The Oppo Reno15 will feature a triple rear camera setup: a 50MP main sensor with OIS and an 8MP ultra-wide sensor with an f/2.4 aperture. This time we have got a 50MP Samsung JN5 periscopic lens with 3.5x optical zoom. Under the punch-hole notch, the Oppo Reno15 features a 50MP selfie shooter.
It packs a 6500 mAh battery with 80W wired fast charging support. It will also feature dual speakers, an X-linear motor & IP69 certification for dust- and water-resistant operation. The device runs on Android 16 OS with ColorOS 16 on top.
The connectivity option includes Dual SIM with Dual 4G LTE, 5G (Dual Band support) and VoLTE, Wi-Fi 6, A-GPS, GLONASS, NFC, Bluetooth 5.4, FM Radio, and a USB Type-C port. It also features an in-display fingerprint scanner.
Last month, vivo released its X300 and X300 Pro smartphones in China. The standard X300 packed a 6,040 mAh battery, with the Pro model boasting a larger 6,510 mAh cell. Now, buzz is already building around the next generation: the vivo X500 series, likely to debut in October next year. It’s expected that Vivo will skip the X400 label, a move possibly influenced by tetraphobia, a cultural aversion to the number four in some Asian regions.
Leaked information from Digital Chat Station (via Weibo) suggests that the new X500 models will feature batteries exceeding 7,000 mAh. This marks a considerable leap in battery capacity compared to both the X300 and X300 Pro.
Meanwhile, there’s talk about the upcoming X300 Ultra. Unlike the rumoured X500, this Ultra variant apparently won’t reach the lofty 7,000 mAh mark—its battery is expected to fall somewhere between 6,000 mAh and 7,000 mAh.
Interestingly, Vivo isn’t dedicating all its battery innovation to its flagship series. The company is developing mid-range smartphones set for release next year, which could feature enormous 8,000 mAh and even 9,000 mAh batteries. This signals that, for its premium X lineup, vivo prioritises camera tech and other features over pushing battery sizes to the limit—likely because larger camera modules in high-end phones take up space that could otherwise house bigger batteries.
OnePlus started offering early-bird deals for its latest flagship two weeks ago, but those deals have now ended, with the OnePlus 15 now available globally. I should say “most global markets”.
OnePlus 15:
OnePlus 15 will ship with the exact 6.78-inch (2772 x 1272p) 1.5K LTPO BOE X3 OLED with 165Hz refresh rate. The display is protected by Crystal Shield super ceramic glass on top. It comes with 4500 nits peak brightness, 1800 nits peak full-screen brightness, a DisplayMate A++ rating, & Dolby Vision support. This time, the device features an in-display ultrasonic fingerprint scanner.
The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC powers the OnePlus 15, coupled with 12GB/16GB/24GB of RAM and 256GB/512GB/1TB of storage.
It features a 50MP primary 1/1.56″ Sony sensor with OIS coupled with a 50MP JN5 telephoto lens and 3.5x optical zoom, 6x in-sensor zoom, and up to 120x digital zoom. There is a 50MP Samsung JN5 ultra-wide lens with an LED flash. This time, there is a massive 32MP Sony IMX615 selfie shooter.
The connectivity option includes Dual SIM with Dual 4G LTE and VoLTE support, and 5G Dual Mode (SA/NSA) support. Wi-Fi 7, A-GPS, GLONASS, Bluetooth 6, NFC, USB Type-C 3.2 port and linear dual stereo speakers, Dolby Atmos, Hi-Res Audio certification. It comes with an X-axis linear motor for haptics (AAC Technologies, CSA+0916X).
It has an IP68/69 rating, making it dust- and water-resistant. The device packs a 7300 mAh battery with 120W fast wired charging and 50W fast wireless charging support. The OnePlus 15 also supports 10W reverse wireless charging. It runs on Android 16 with ColorOS 16 on top. The phone measures 161.43 x 76.67 x 8.18 mm and weighs 210 grams.

On Nov. 26, iQOO will launch its next flagship smartphone, the iQOO 15. The company has already confirmed several details about the device ahead of its launch. According to NDTV Gadgets 360, a new report has revealed the expected price of the iQOO 15 in India.
The iQOO 15 is expected to be priced around Rs 60,000 in India, with launch offers included. As a result, it could become the most affordable smartphone with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC. The original price without launch offers is expected to exceed Rs 60,000. The device may arrive with 512GB of storage and 16GB of RAM.
Before the launch, iQOO is offering a limited-time Priority Pass. Those who pre-book the phone can receive exclusive benefits by paying a refundable Rs 1,000.
Priority Pass holders will receive complimentary iQOO TWS 1e earbuds and a 12-month extended warranty. Passes will be available on a first-come, first-served basis from November 20.
Ice Universe reports that Samsung will launch its first tri-foldable next month. While Samsung has been relatively secretive about the phone, the news comes with some key details.
When opened, the Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold will measure 4.2mm thick; when closed, it will measure 14mm thick. It measures 4.2mm when opened and 8.9mm when closed (note that the hinge leaves a small gap, which adds to the thickness).
It will have a 6.5″ cover display and a larger 10″ inner display, which will have a wide-screen aspect ratio, unlike the Z Fold7’s square-ish 8″ display.
There will be three cells in the phone’s battery, one in each segment, with a capacity of 5,600 mAh. There are two cells in the Z Fold7’s 4,400mAh battery.
According to the Korean publication The Chosun, the timing and details about the phone are accurate. There will be limited quantities of the Z TriFold, and it will be pretty expensive (no surprise). You may not even be able to splurge on one since it will only be available in select markets.
Samsung has officially shown only prototypes of the Galaxy Z TriFold so far. Samsung will launch the Galaxy Z TriFold on December 5, according to this latest information.
The Galaxy Z Flip8 is expected to launch alongside the Galaxy Z Fold8 next summer, and today, a report from Korea offers some intriguing details.
According to reports, the Flip8 will be at least 10% thinner and lighter than its predecessor. It would be 6mm thin when opened, 12mm thick when closed, and weigh 170g. As a result, Samsung is expected to achieve 10% better sales for the Flip8 and Fold8 than for the Flip7 and Fold7. For the upcoming foldables, the company has apparently set a sales target of 6.7 million units.
Because the Flip7’s sales have been relatively weak, the Z Flip8 will be thinner and lighter. As Samsung’s Chinese competitors have all focused on thinness and lightness for their foldables in recent years, it makes sense.
In 2026, Samsung is also worried about Apple entering the foldable fray. This might increase overall foldable device sales, but Apple could also lure some Samsung customers, and one way Samsung is trying to prevent that is by making the Flip8 more attractive.
This year, the Fold7 got significantly thinner and lighter than its predecessor, while the Flip7 stayed very similar to the Flip6. According to this report, the Flip will basically receive the same treatment as the Fold in 2026.
Xiaomi 15 was launched in China at the end of October last year. In February, Xiaomi also introduced the Xiaomi 15 Ultra to global markets. But this year, things were a bit different, with the 17 launching in China earlier than usual in September. As a result, we wondered if the Xiaomi 17 Ultra would arrive again only in February.
That seems to be the case. Xiaomi 17 Ultra will go official in China in December, according to the prolific leaker Digital Chat Station on Weibo. As a result, it might only launch in China at that time, and its global release could still be months away.
The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC will be used, and wired charging will support 100W. Rumours suggest a new 50 MP primary camera with improved in-sensor zoom, a new 200 MP telephoto macro camera, an ultrawide, and possibly a short-range telephoto as well. There are very few differences between the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max’s display and the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max’s display.
In the coming days, several Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 phones are expected to be released. According to a new leak, the Realme Neo 8 may also feature the same chipset.
Digital Chat Station, a reliable tipster, has revealed key specifications of an upcoming Realme phone without naming it. It is widely speculated to be the Realme Neo 8.
According to the leak, the alleged Realme Neo 8 will feature a 6.78-inch OLED panel with a flat design. A 1.5K resolution LTPS screen and an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor will be built into the screen. According to reports, the Neo 8 features the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset and a massive 8,000mAh battery. With a large battery, this performance-oriented phone should provide exceptional battery life.
The primary camera will feature a 50MP sensor and a large sensor. The leak does not mention Android 16, but it is expected to run Realme UI 7.
