MediaTek Dimensity 9500 SoC has been launched, featuring a third-generation design with only performance cores, and it delivers up to 29 percent better single-core and 16% better multi-core performance than its predecessor. Flagship smartphones like the Oppo Find X9 series and Vivo X300 lineup will be launched with the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 SoC in Q4 2025.

The Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to debut a “Private Display” feature, allowing users to protect sensitive content in public. It can reportedly be manually enabled for select apps, like banking, or scheduled automatically, with options for “Manual” or “Maximum Privacy,” which dims the screen for improved protection. The phone may also feature Flex Magic Pixel OLED technology, which adjusts viewing angles to prevent others from seeing the screen and, combined with AI, enhances privacy without reducing display quality.

Xiaomi 17 series will comprise the standard Xiaomi 17, Xiaomi 17 Pro, and Xiaomi 17 Pro Max. The launch for the handsets has been scheduled for September 25 by the company. Now, the smartphone maker has confirmed some specifications of the standard Xiaomi 17 model. One of the company executives has already revealed that the phone will offer a significant upgrade over its predecessor, the Xiaomi 15.

OnePlus 15 is expected to go official soon as the successor to the OnePlus 13. Ahead of its anticipated debut, a real-life unit of the handset was allegedly seen during an event, which showcases the rumoured design changes that are likely to arrive this year. It is seen in a white colourway, sporting a rectangular-shaped camera island aligned to the top-left corner of the screen. It appears similar to what we’ve seen on the OnePlus 13s and is a big change from the circular deco of its predecessor.
