OnePlus might soon launch a new OnePlus Ace 6 Pro Max; a retail box has leaked.

A fresh leak has surfaced, showcasing what appears to be the retail packaging of the upcoming OnePlus Ace 6 Pro Max. With this new naming, OnePlus seems to be jumping on the “Pro Max” bandwagon for its next performance flagship. A move that follows the recent release of Redmi’s K90 series, where the top-end model adopted the Pro Max branding.

The newly leaked images reveal the Ace 6 Pro Max box, hinting that the device will pack more of a punch than the standard OnePlus Ace 6. OnePlus had already announced plans to be the first to roll out a handset featuring the much-anticipated Snapdragon 8 Gen 5. That puts the Ace 6 Pro Max in pole position as we approach its global unveiling.

Specs:

Rumour mills are also hinting that the OnePlus Ace 6 Pro Max might be the very same device that’s appeared under the Ace 6 Turbo moniker in recent leaks. If that’s true, we can expect a 6.7-inch OLED display with 1.5K resolution and an ultra-smooth 165Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 would be paired with an impressive 8,000 mAh battery featuring rapid 100W charging.

On the camera front, leaks point to a 32MP selfie shooter and a dual-rear-camera setup, with a 50MP primary sensor with OIS and an 8MP ultra-wide lens.

Additional features are said to include ColorOS 16 powered by Android 16, dual stereo speakers, a robust x-axis vibration motor, an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint reader, NFC, and a sturdy metal frame weighing about 216 grams. Buyers can choose from Flash Black, Electric Purple, and Glimpse Green colourways, with a special edition possibly on the horizon.

There’s more good news for Indian consumers: sources suggest the OnePlus Ace 6 Pro Max will arrive in India before the close of 2025. Though it’s expected to be rebranded as the OnePlus 15R for the market.

OPPO Reno15 spotted on Geekbench, key specs leaked ahead of the launch.

Oppo is set to unveil its highly anticipated Reno15 series, sparking excitement among smartphone enthusiasts. While rumours have been swirling about a possible Pro Max variant alongside the standard and Pro models, fresh details have just surfaced.

A device believed to be either the Reno15 or Reno15 Pro was recently spotted on Geekbench, revealing some impressive performance numbers. The prototype logged a single-core score of 1,668 and a multi-core result of 6,274, according to the Geekbench listing.

Under the hood, the handset runs the MediaTek Dimensity 8450 chipset and features 16GB of RAM. Out of the box, it will run Android 16, layered on top of Oppo’s latest ColorOS 16 interface, promising a new software experience.

Based on ongoing leaks, it seems the Pro Max model may feature the even more powerful Dimensity 9400 SoC. All three Reno15 versions are expected to make their debut in China before 2025 ends, with global availability anticipated in early 2026. However, early reports suggest the Pro Max variant might skip the international launch.

Stay tuned for more updates as Oppo prepares to shake up the market with the Reno15 lineup.

Samsung delays the launch of Galaxy S26 series, here is when its now launching.

The Galaxy S26 has been the subject of numerous leaks over the past week, but the rumours are far from over. The release date of Samsung’s upcoming flagship series has now been alluded to in a new report.

A Korean site claims that Samsung intends to postpone its upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event for the S26 series by approximately one month, to February 25.

According to reports, the San Francisco display is “AI-focused.” “Samsung is preparing its first San Francisco Unpacked in three years, since the S23 launch in 2023,” a source familiar with Samsung’s plans told the outlet. “San Francisco has emerged as the hub of AI technology, so it’s the perfect location for Samsung—the pioneer of the AI smartphone era—to hold its event,” the source added.

Samsung’s recent changes to its lineup strategy may be the cause of the delay. The Galaxy S26 Plus was supposed to be replaced by the Galaxy S25 Edge, but Samsung has reportedly chosen to reinstate the Plus model due to the Edge’s poor sales.

This implies that the Galaxy S26, S26 Plus, and S26 Ultra will be the three models we’re looking at once more.

Realme might launch the new Realme GT 8 Pro in India on this date.

The GT 8 Pro, Realme’s upcoming flagship device, has been teased for both international and Indian markets. However, the precise launch date is still unknown.

A recent leak from SmartPrix suggests that Realme may postpone the previously predicted November 11th unveiling date of the GT 8 Pro until November 20th.

Realme’s first smartphone, the GT 8 Pro, was created in association with Ricoh GR, a camera manufacturer. A 50MP ultrawide shooter, a 200MP periscope lens with 3x optical zoom, and a 50MP primary camera are its features.

Additionally, Realme has included a Ricoh GR Mode that replicates the 28mm and 40mm focal lengths iconic to the brand. The manufacturer claims that the GT 8 Pro has an immersive viewfinder mode and Quick Focus Mode to enhance the naturalness of point-and-shoot shooting.

Realme is also experimenting a little with design. A feature you don’t often see is the GT 8 Pro’s modular camera island bezel, which enables optional user-replaceable modules. With higher IP66, IP68, and IP69 ratings for water and dust resistance than most phones in its class, it is also impressively durable.

Upcoming OnePlus compact flagship OnePlus 15T aka OnePlus 15s key specs leaked.

A new rumor from prolific leaker Digital Chat Station on Weibo suggests that OnePlus is developing a smaller-screen flagship device. Depending on the market, it could launch as the OnePlus 15T or OnePlus 15s, following up on the 13T and 13s released earlier this year.

Expected to debut in the first half of 2026, the OnePlus 15T/15s will reportedly feature a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. The phone is said to sport a 6.31-inch flat LTPS display with “1.5K” resolution, symmetrical slim bezels on all sides, and an under-display 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor.

The device is also rumoured to be IP68 certified for dust and water resistance. Impressively, it may pack a battery with a capacity of around 7,000 mAh—a notable achievement for a phone of this size. Additionally, a previous rumour claimed the 15T/15s will feature a third rear camera, marking a step up in its imaging capabilities.

OPPO Find N6 key specs leaked will be a lot slimmer than its predecessor.

The Oppo Find N5 was released in February, and the company is currently working on a replacement, which we believe will be dubbed the Find N6. Some new information regarding the future product was revealed today in China.

According to reports, the Find N6 will include a 6.6″ cover display and an 8.1″ folding screen, a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC at the centre, and a battery that should hold about 6,000 mAh.

A 50MP periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom and a 50MP primary camera with Sony’s Lytia LYT-808 1/1.4″ type sensor will be mounted on the back.

The fingerprint sensor is still integrated into the power button and positioned on the side. Wireless charging will be supported, and it will have a high water-resistance rating. It’s interesting to note that the phone is reportedly lighter and smaller than an unidentified Ultra; we presume this to be the Find X8 Ultra or the next Find X9 Ultra.

If the leaker is referring to the former, the Find N6 will weigh less than 226g and be thinner than 8.8mm when folded. Considering that the Find N5 weighs 229g and is 8.9mm thick when folded, neither of those accomplishments is impossible.

Samsung might finally bring much-needed upgrades with Galaxy S26 series.

For the past few years, Samsung has come under heavy fire for not bringing significant improvements to its flagship series. But according to a recent report, which we should treat with caution, all Galaxy S26 phones will receive significant improvements to their screens, cameras, and batteries.

Galaxy S26 Ultra:

First, let’s talk about the Ultra. It is thought to have the same 6.9-inch diagonal but an upgraded M14 OLED panel with some AI privacy features. It’s most likely the AI privacy feature that was detailed in a previous leak. According to reports, the resolutions of the main, ultrawide, and 5x telephoto cameras will remain at 200MP, 50MP, and 50MP, respectively; however, the central and ultrawide units will be enhanced.

However, there is still some confusion about the 3x telephoto camera, as the leaker is unsure whether the smartphone will use a 50MP shooter, a larger 12MP unit, or the same 12MP sensor as before.

Although the battery has not yet been confirmed, reports indicate that it will have a 5,400 mAh cell.

Galaxy S26/S26+

In contrast, the Galaxy S26+ is likely to receive a more significant camera update, with a larger 1/1.3″ primary sensor (up from 1/1.56″), a larger 1/1.3″ ultrawide unit (up to 50MP), and a larger 12MP, 1/2.55″ telephoto shooter in place of the 10MP one. We think the S26+ will use the telephoto and ultrawide cameras from the current Galaxy S25 Ultra, even though the source doesn’t explicitly say so.

Based on all those facts, Samsung is likely to stop making the Edge and hasn’t given up on the Plus model.

According to reports, the regular Galaxy S26 will get the same camera enhancements as the S26 Plus, along with a little increase in battery capacity to 4,200 or 4,300 mAh.

It’s interesting to note that the article mentions a thinner Galaxy S26 model that will sit between the S26 and S26 Plus in terms of size, with fewer compromises than the original Edge.

According to rumours, the display will be 6.6″ diagonal, with a 50MP primary camera that will be complemented by 50MP telephoto and ultrawide sensors. The battery’s rated capacity is around 4,300 mAh.

Depending on the region, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or the Exynos 2600 will power all three, or all four if you include the as-yet-unknown small Galaxy S26 phone.

Although the source of the information is unknown, it provides a surprisingly detailed description of the lineup, suggesting that an internal source may be involved. We are still on guard, though, because recent speculation about the Galaxy S26 Edge and S26 Plus has been incredibly conflicting and unclear.

Vivo might finally launch the top-end Vivo X300 Ultra globally, details leaked.

In the past, the top-of-the-line Ultra from vivo’s X series flagship phones was only available in China. However, we now have significant proof that the yet-to-be-announced vivo X300 Ultra will be available outside of China this year.

Since the X300 Ultra has surfaced with a model name that deviates from Vivo’s standard naming strategy for Chinese handsets, the GSMA database suggests that Vivo may be preparing to release an international version of the device. V2562 is the model name in question. Since there was no Ultra variant available, users who had to settle for the standard and Pro versions of the Vivo X phones are happy to hear this.

Fortunately, Vivo chose the perfect moment to introduce its Ultra model to the world market, as current speculation suggests it will be a true camera powerhouse. It’s rumoured to be the first phone with two 200MP sensors, and its primary and telephoto cameras will probably feature Sony’s latest 200MP sensors.

Qualcomm’s affordable flagship chip aka Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 SoC specs leaked.

The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 is Qualcomm’s latest flagship chipset, powering several newly launched premium smartphones. Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, the company’s next-generation processor, will now be available in the company’s high-end lineup. Digital Chat Station has shared a detailed preview of the chip’s technical specifications and benchmark results ahead of its official release.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 is based on TSMC’s advanced N3P process and features Qualcomm’s custom Oryon CPU architecture. A strong balance of performance and efficiency is achieved with two ultra cores clocked at 3.8GHz and six performance cores clocked at 3.32GHz.

It features the same Adreno 840 GPU as the Snapdragon 8 Elite, but with slightly scaled-down performance and 1.2GHz frequency.

On AnTuTu, the chipset scored over 3.3 million points, and on Geekbench 6, it scored around 3,000 (single-core) and 10,000 (multi-core). It managed close to 100 frames per second on the Aztec 1440p benchmark, demonstrating impressive graphics power.

CPU performance is expected to be comparable to that of the Snapdragon 8 Elite, while GPU performance is expected to be slightly lower. N3P fabrication is expected to improve thermal management and energy efficiency, so the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 should offer smoother performance and better stability despite its smaller size.

Upcoming compact flagship Vivo X300 FE aka S50 Pro Mini specs leaked.

The Vivo S50 and S50 Pro Mini smartphones are expected to be unveiled in China in November. The S50 Pro Mini was rumoured to feature the Dimensity 9400 Plus chipset. In a new leak, a reliable source indicates that the upcoming compact flagship will be powered by the Snapdragon 8-series chipset, along with several other details.

The Vivo S50 Pro Mini is expected to feature a 6.3-inch flat display, continuing the compact design language of the S30 Pro Mini. According to reports, the screen will have 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.

New leaks claim the phone will use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset instead of the Dimensity 9400 Plus. It is based on a 3nm process, features a 3.8GHz prime core, 3.32GHz performance core, and a next-generation Adreno GPU, although Qualcomm has not officially launched it.

OnePlus Ace 6 Turbo will be the first Chinese smartphone to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, suggesting the S50 Pro Mini may launch soon after.

According to a leak, the Vivo X300 has a 6,040mAh battery, while the S50 Pro Mini has a 7,168mAh battery. It is expected to feature a triple-camera setup with a periscope telephoto lens. Additionally, earlier leaks indicated a 50-megapixel selfie camera.

According to rumours, the Vivo X300 FE may be a rebranded version of the China-exclusive Vivo S50 Pro Mini. A global variant is expected to debut in the first quarter of 2026, according to early reports.
