The next Sony Xperia 1 (number VIII) may finally bring a redesign to the (a bit stagnant) series. Case renders from China show a new camera island design, a more conventional (rather Moto-like) square camera island.
The vivo X300 Ultra is official in China. It brings a larger 200MP main 35mm camera, a Snapdragon 8 Elite gen 5 SoC, a larger 6,600mAh battery, and a faster 144Hz display, among other improvements. The phone opens up sales in China and ships in Green, Silver, and Black colors. A global unit is expected too.
We saw CAD-based renders of the Google Pixel 11 and 11 Pro. The biggest change seems to be the new camera visor, which now has a glass inner part from edge to edge (there’s no longer a small color-matching piece of metal at one end.
Take these images with a few grains of salt.
It comes in a minty fresh new green color and has two new teleconverters.
There are two main differences versus the Pixel 10.
Yesterday it was the vanilla Pixel 11, today it’s the Pro.
A battery drain test pitted the Exynos 2600-based Galaxy S26 against the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 one. The Exynos Galaxy lasted 6 hours and 48 minutes, while the Snapdragon one lasted another 2 hours and 38 minutes.
We also saw a leaked iPhone 18 Pro screen protector, which hints at the rumored narrower Dynamic Island. Smaller is better.
Samsung’s in-house chip delivered substantially shorter run times than the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5-equipped Galaxy S26.
The change is also expected on the iPhone 18 and iPhone Air 2.
It’s set to launch in India on April 7.
Expect Oppo to unveil its flagship Find X9 Ultra to select global markets on April 21! The Find X9 Ultra will become official in China first, alongside the Find X9s Pro, which is unlikely to follow the Ultra on the global stage.
Expect a 6.82-inch 144Hz AMOLED, a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC, a 7,050mAh battery, and dual 200MP cameras!
In China, Oppo will also launch the Find X9s Pro alongside the Ultra.
But you can only do it once a year.
The battle of the titans – the best of what Samsung and Apple can offer.
