OnePlus 16 Leak Hints at Massive 9,000mAh Battery, 200MP Camera Upgrade

Image
OnePlus only just launched its flagship OnePlus 15 in October, but the rumor mill is already buzzing about what’s next. A fresh leak has now shed light on one of the most eye-catching upgrades expected for its successor — the battery. According to a tipster, the upcoming OnePlus 16 will pack a massive 9,000mAh battery. That’s a notable jump from the OnePlus 15, which comes with a 7,300mAh cell paired with blazing-fast 120W charging. The claim doesn’t come out of nowhere either. Earlier this month, OnePlus rolled out the Turbo 6 and Turbo 6V, both featuring 9,000mAh batteries with 80W fast charging. With that precedent set, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the OnePlus 16 adopt the same high-capacity power setup. The OnePlus 16 is tipped to debut in China this October and could push boundaries in other areas too, with rumors pointing to a 200MP main camera and the highest refresh-rate display ever fitted to a smartphone. If these leaks hold true, OnePlus’s next flagship could be shaping ...

Honor Magic8 Pro Air Debuts as Ultra-Slim Flagship With Big Battery and Pro Cameras

Image
Thin and light smartphones are impressive feats of engineering, but they usually demand trade-offs—most often in camera hardware and battery size. The Honor Magic8 Pro Air aims to break that pattern, positioning itself as Honor’s take on the iPhone Air and the wave of ultra-slim Android phones launched in recent months. Honor’s strategy stands out. Instead of cutting corners, the Magic8 Pro Air packs genuinely Pro-level hardware, including a triple-camera system with a dedicated telephoto lens, a large 5,500mAh battery, and a compact display designed for comfortable one-handed use.

Asus Confirms Exit From Smartphones, Shifts Focus to AI and PCs

Image
Earlier this month, a report hinted that Asus wouldn’t be launching any new phones this year — and now that rumor has been officially confirmed, with an even bigger revelation attached: Asus is stepping away from smartphones altogether. At a special gala held at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, Asus chairman Jonney Shih stated that the company has no plans to release new smartphones going forward. Instead, Asus is redirecting its resources and R&D toward commercial PCs and what it calls “physical AI,” including robotics and smart glasses. Existing Asus phone users won’t be left behind, though, as the company will continue to provide maintenance, software updates, and warranty support. Shih also highlighted Asus’ strong financial performance, revealing that the company generated TWD 738.91 billion (around $23.4 billion) in revenue in 2025 — a 26% increase year over year. The AI server business was a standout, posting 100% growth and doubling its own internal targets. The move i...

Nothing scraps Lock Glimpse ads on Phone (3a) and Pro, keeps them on Lite models

Image
With the rollout of Nothing OS 4.0 based on Android 16 last October, Nothing debuted Lock Glimpse — a slickly branded feature that, at its core, put ads on the lock screen. It landed on the Nothing Phone (3a), (3a) Pro, and (3a) Lite, and quickly became one of the company’s most controversial ideas. While users could technically disable it, many reported that Lock Glimpse still drained battery in the background. Now, Nothing is finally pulling the plug — with a notable caveat. Lock Glimpse is being removed from the Nothing Phone (3a) and (3a) Pro. However, it’s sticking around on the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite, and it will also appear on future CMF devices. According to a Nothing representative, the Lite model operates under “a different context.” To hit a more affordable price point, the company says certain trade-offs are necessary. Lock Glimpse will remain off by default and easy to remove, and Nothing claims it will continue refining the feature going forward.

Realme Reportedly Set to Rejoin OPPO as a Sub-Brand in Rare Industry Reversal

Image
Chinese smartphone brands love a good spin-off story — a sub-brand breaking away to forge its own identity. What’s far rarer is the reverse. And yet, that’s exactly the plot twist unfolding now: "realme is reportedly merging back into OPPO and returning to sub-brand status". If realme’s sub-brand era feels like ancient history, that’s understandable. The company struck out on its own back in 2018 and quickly grew into one of China’s most recognizable smartphone names, far removed from its OPPO roots. According to a new report from Leiphone, that independence is coming to an end. realme is said to be rejoining OPPO, though not without continuity at the top. CEO Sky Li will continue to lead the brand, and all products currently on the release roadmap are expected to launch exactly as planned. The real changes are set to begin this year, as realme gradually reintegrates with OPPO — starting with shared after-sales services. Interestingly, OnePlus is also expected to adopt a simi...
