vivo Watch 5 eSIM
The new eSIM vivo Watch 5 is identical in looks and specs to the regular model, with the only difference being it can connect to mobile networks. This means you can make and take calls, send out messages and use apps like WeChat without needing a paired phone.
Watch 5 eSIM is advertised to reach up to 14 days of usage and comes in Black, White, and Silver colors. Pricing in China is set at CNY 999 ($140).
TWS Air 3 Pro offers 12mm drivers with custom Golden Ears tuning, up to 50dB of ANC and come in standard and a long-battery version. The former offers 47 hours of combined playback with the charging case, while the latter expands that to 52 hours. Both versions offer IP54 ingress protection.

Oppo Reno15 details leak with major shake-ups
Before you hit up the comment section to inform us, YES, we are well-aware that the Reno14 and Reno14 Pro were only launched in China last month and have just begun their international rollout, with upcoming launches in Malaysia on July 1 and India on July 3. This is all to say that the Reno15 family is still a ways off from announcement. That said, it appears to be far enough in development for some details to start leaking. Industry insider Digital Chat Station has suggested that the Reno15 and Reno15 Pro are already being tested with 200MP main cameras on board. That's up from the 50MP shooters on the Reno14 line. Quite the potential upgrade. Both phones are also tipped to have a periscope telephoto, which is not surprising given that both Reno14 models have one. Reno15 info In a potentially more interesting possible development, the source also hints at a substantial downsizing for both phones. Allegedly, the regular Reno15 will feature a 6.3-inch display, effectively making it a 'compact' device by modern standards. Definitely smaller than the 6.59 inches of the Reno14. The Reno15 Pro will also apparently be downsized to 6.78 inches, compared to the 6.83 inches of the Reno14 Pro. Last but not least, Digital Chat Station claims that Oppo is considering new flagship hardware for the pair. We aren't sure exactly what that entails, but he does mention wireless charging and metal middle frames, so there's that. Source (In Chinese) | Via

The Infinix Hot 60i is already selling online
We have known that the Infinix Hot 60 family is right around the corner for some time now, but we expected a bit more formal release than a random reader tip in our inbox, informing us that the Hot 60i is already on sale in Bangladesh. We imagine that there will be a bit more heads up for the higher-end models from the Hot 60 family, but this might just be it for the Hot 60i. Regardless, the seller has a conveniently rich specs page. The Hot 60i resembles the Hot 50i, or rather the Hot 50, as it features a trio of "camera" modules on the back. Infinix Hot 60i In any case, the phone's physical appearance is very familiar. It measures 167.9 x 75.6 x 7.7 mm, featuring a plastic back and frame, and a Gorilla Glass front. We don't know exactly what kind of glass is used, and we aren't quite sure how well-sealed the design is. According to the specs, the phone is "splash proof", which probably means something like an IPX4 rating, probably IP54. The available colors are Sleek Black and Titanium Grey. The Hot 60i features a 6.78-inch, 120Hz, Full HD+ IPS LCD display on the front, with an advertised brightness of 800 nits. The chipset is a MediaTek Helio G81 Ultimate, accompanied by 6GB or 8GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of storage – probably non-expandable, since there are two slots on the card tray for two Nano-SIM cards. The Hot 60i is a dual-SIM 4G device. Local connectivity is handled by dual-band Wi-Fi AC and Bluetooth 5.0, with onboard NFC and a 3.5mm audio jack. The fingerprint reader is side-mounted, and the specs sheet lists a Light sensor, Proximity sensor, Accelerometer, Compass and Gyroscope. In terms of cameras, the Hot 60i is listed as having a 50MP, f/1.8 main camera with FullHD video capture. There is reportedly a second 2MP camera. We aren't sure what the third module on the camera island is. There is a single 8MP, f/2.0 selfie camera. A rather large 5,160 mAh battery is keeping the light on. It has 45W charging support. The store offers two variants of the Hot 60i – 6GB/128GB for BDT 13,999 (€98/$115) and 8GB/256GB for BDT 16,499 (€115/$135). Source

Samsung's new 'Monster' phone is the old 'Monster' phone in a sleeker body
Samsung is bringing yet another mid-range smartphone to one of its biggest markets, India. The Galaxy M36 is the sequel to the last year's Galaxy M35, a device that Samsung has decided to advertise as the 'Monster' phone. At the time Galaxy M35 made its debut in India, a 6,000 mAh battery was enough to use the word 'monster' when referring to the mid-range device. These days more companies put 6,000 or even higher batteries onto their phones, so it will most likely become the norm next year. What's interesting about the Galaxy M36 is that even though Samsung continues to call everything related to it 'monster,' the phone actually comes with a much smaller battery than the predecessor. Samsung Galaxy M36 has a smaller battery than its predecessor | Image credit: Samsung We're not sure why Samsung decided to remove one of the phone's main selling points, but now that it's done, Galaxy M36 is 15 percent slimmer than its predecessor. That's a pretty important change if you're looking for a thinner phone. According to Samsung, the Galaxy M36 is 7.7mm sleek, a fairly low number compared to Galaxy M35's 9.1mm chassis. Specs-wise, there's one more difference between the two phones that's worth mentioning. The Galaxy M35 has a 6.6-inch display, whereas the Galaxy M36 is expected to sport a slightly larger 6.7-inch size difference of the display is completely negligible, but what's really noticeable is the fact that Samsung has decided to replace the Galaxy M35's punch hole with a rather unfashionable waterdrop notch. This is certainly a choice. The camera island also looks a bit different in comparison with the Galaxy M35's, but nothing really game-changing. Besides that, the Galaxy M35 and M36 are virtually the same. Both phones use similar chipsets, camera systems, amount of memory and display type. Samsung Galaxy M36 specs at first glance : Display : 6.7-inch Super AMOLED, 120 Hz refresh rate, Corning Gorilla Victus+ : 6.7-inch Super AMOLED, 120 Hz refresh rate, Corning Gorilla Victus+ Chipset : Exynos 1380 : Exynos 1380 Memory : 6/8 GB : 6/8 GB Storage : 128/256 GB : 128/256 GB Main camera : 50 MP main + 8MP ultra-wide + 2MP macro : 50 MP main + 8MP ultra-wide + 2MP macro Front camera : 13MP : 13MP Battery : 5,000 mAh, 25W wired charging support Samsung has already confirmed that the Galaxy M36 comes in three colors: Velvet Black, Serene Green, and Orange Haze. Open sales will kick off in India on July 12 via Samsung's website and Amazon. The cheapest model costs Rs 22,999 ($270 / €230) and comes with 6 GB RAM and 128 GB storage. For a limited time, Samsung offers customers a massive discount that brings the price down to just Rs 16,499 ($195 / €165).It's strange to see a phone like Galaxy M36 being pushed into an already very competitive mid-range segment with nothing to make it stand out. Not to mention that it directly competes with the Galaxy M35, which feels like the better device due to the bigger battery and lower price. Perhaps Samsung plans to retire the Galaxy M35 and replace it with the new model, in which case now would be a good time to snag one if you're in the market for a mid-ranger with a huge battery.
