Canalys: Huawei is back as number 1 in China in Q2 of 2025
Huawei was the largest smartphone vendor in the second quarter, shipping 12.2 million phones, which accounted for 18% of the market share. That's a 15% increase year-over-year. Huawei's HarmonyOS 5.0-powered Nova 14 series proved key in its Q2 success.
Close in second was vivo with 11.8 million units shipped - a 17% share of the market. Vivo's staggered release strategy saw new models in the X200, S30, and Y300 series.
Oppo (featuring OnePlus models as well) was third with 10.7 million units shipped, or 16% of the market.
Xiaomi and Apple were fourth and fifth with a shared 15% of the market and 10.4 million and 10.1 million shipped phones, respectively.
Canalys projects that vendors would face challenges to keep momentum going as H1 of 2025 saw greater demand, thanks to a national subsidy program that has now ended.

DJI announces the Osmo 360, the company's first 360° action camera
DJI has announced its first 360° action camera, the Osmo 360. The Osmo 360 promises several firsts for the segment, including being the first 360° camera to record in 8K 50fps and being able to shoot continuously in 8K 30fps for 100 minutes. The Osmo 360 uses two 1/1.1-inch CMOS sensors, which DJI says is equivalent to a single 1-inch type sensor when recording in 360°. DJI uses bespoke industry-first square HDR sensors, which have been designed for 360° from the ground up. The sensors have a dynamic range of 13.5 stops and f1.9 aperture, with an ISO range of 100-51200. The two cameras combined can natively capture up to 8K 360° video at up to 30fps or up to 50fps using upscaling. It can also record up to 100fps when shooting in 4K. Alternatively, you can also record single-lens video up to 5K resolution at up to 60fps or single-lens ultra-wide video at up to 4K resolution at up to 120fps. The Osmo 360 has impressively long recording times. It can record up to 100 minutes of continuous 8K 30fps panaromic video, and up to 190 minutes of 6K 24fps panaromic video. The camera can also record up to 1.5 hours in in sub-zero temperatures as low as -20° C The Osmo 360 includes features such as HorizonSteady to ensure the footage remains level even if the camera is rotated, and RockSteady 3.0 for image stabilization. For those looking to capture still shots, the Osmo 360 can capture up to 30.72MP 4:3 image from a single lens or a 120MP 2:1 panaromic photo from both lenses. The Osmo 360 has a 2-inch display with a resolution of 314x556. It has integrated 128GB of storage, of which 105GB is available, along with microSD expansion up to 1TB. There's also built-in Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth connectivity. The recording can be triggered using palm gestures as well as voice commands. The DJI Osmo 360 is priced at €480/£410 for the Standard Combo that includes the camera, a protective pouch, and a rubber lens protector, or €630/£540 for the Adventure Combo, which also adds a 1.2m Invisible Selfie Stick, two Extreme Battery Plus, and a Multifunctional Battery case.

Am I missing something or is Samsung intentionally setting up the Galaxy S26 Ultra to fail?
Unless you've been living under a rock for the last six months or so, you probably already know that the Galaxy S25 Ultra is a bigger box-office hit than the "vanilla" S25 and the S25 Plus. Despite its... uncomfortable price point, the largest and most sophisticated member of Samsung's latest (non-foldable) ultra-high-end handset family has managed to continue a trend noticed in recent years, substantially outselling its smaller and cheaper brothers right off the bat and maintaining that global advantage to this day (presumably). But while you might expect the world's top smartphone vendor to do everything in its power to keep the sales balance of its most impressive products tipped in favor of the costliest model, I'm starting to feel like Samsung is focusing less on the Galaxy S26 Ultra and more on the sequels to the S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Edge . Because if it is, then we might be in for a world of mediocrity here. Mediocrity by Android flagship standards, of course, but mediocrity nonetheless. Allow me to very simply illustrate that point with a quick list of product names and numbers: OnePlus 13 - 100W; OnePlus 13R - 80W; OnePlus Nord CE4 - 100W; Motorola Edge 60 Pro - 90W; Pro - 90W; Motorola Edge 50 Pro - 125W; Motorola Edge (2025) - 68W; Motorola Razr Ultra (2025) - 68W; Nothing Phone (3) - 65W; Xiaomi 15 Ultra - 90W; Ultra - 90W; Xiaomi 15 - 90W; - 90W; Honor Magic V5 - 66W; Honor 400 Pro - 100W; Oppo Find X8 Ultra - 100W; Vivo X200 Ultra - 90W; Realme GT 7 - 120W; Galaxy S25 Ultra - 45W; - 45W; Galaxy S26 Ultra - 60W (rumored); - 60W (rumored); OnePlus 15 - 100W (rumored). Yes, I realize that 60 is a bigger number than 45, so technically, the S26 Ultra is all but guaranteed to charge faster than its predecessor, which could be enough to satisfy some hardcore Samsung fans unwilling to ever consider a brand like Motorola or OnePlus and not allowed to (officially) buy Xiaomi, Honor, Vivo, or Realme stuff in their country. The OnePlus 13 comes with blazing fast 100W charging capabilities... and is even available in the US. | Image Credit -- PhoneArena But even if it's only theoretical in markets like the US, competition matters, and Samsung can't just act like those aforementioned China-based companies don't exist. The thing about the above list is that it's not comprehensive (far from it, actually), and it doesn't only include super-expensive Android flagships either. The Motorola Edge (2025), for instance, is a pretty affordable mid-ranger (available stateside), while something like the OnePlus Nord CE4 packs a decidedly non-flagship Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 processor, carrying a fittingly reasonable price point... in markets like India. So, yes, ironically calling Samsung's expected bump from 45W charging capabilities on the S25 Ultra to 60W speeds for the Galaxy S26 Ultra a quote-unquote "upgrade" might be a little mean on my part, but I sincerely hope that the tech giant doesn't plan to advertise this... change very aggressively or its "next big thing" will be rightfully and viciously mocked by rivals and consumers alike. That, my friends, is the million billion-dollar question I would love to have the answer for, but I don't. Let's hope Samsung does, although between the unchanged 5,000mAh battery capacity that's gaining steam in the rumor mill and a new chip that's unlikely to get a lot of hearts pumping with excitement, 2026 is starting to look like yet another year of refinement. The S Pen is highly unlikely to be a key Galaxy S26 Ultra selling point. | Image Credit -- PhoneArena Will the Galaxy S26 Pro look radically different from the 6.2-inch Galaxy S25? Will the Galaxy S26 Edge employ silicon-carbon battery technology to try to vastly improve its forerunner's mediocre running times between charges (at the risk of much quicker cell degradation)? I don't know for sure just yet, but I certainly look forward to finding out. Meanwhile, the S26 Ultra is eliciting almost no emotion in me. Feeling bored is arguably worse than feeling disappointed in the lead-up to a major smartphone's launch, although I can't really say which of those two feelings better describes my current relationship with the Galaxy S26 Ultra . Luckily for Samsung, there's still plenty of time to change that for myself and any of you that might be sharing my... apathy. There it is, the best way to describe Samsung's "next big thing" right now!

iQOO 15 teaser campaign starts ahead of possible late September unveiling
Vlad, 31 July 2025 The rumors were true - iQOO's next flagship smartphone won't be called iQOO 14, but iQOO 15. Undoubtedly, tetraphobia is to blame. Today the brand has officially confirmed the name as it started the teaser campaign for the upcoming device on Weibo. If you're wondering why so early - the iQOO 13 was announced in October of last year, after all, and was only released in November - here's the plot twist. Rumor has it the iQOO 15 will be one of the first devices to launch with the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 SoC on board. That chipset is getting official on September 23. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station on Weibo is now claiming that the iQOO 15, along with the Xiaomi 16 series, the Honor Magic8 series, and the Realme GT 8 Pro, will all scramble to launch in China before October 1. And iQOO starting to talk about the 15 today definitely seems to lend credence to this hypothesis. The brand hasn't revealed any specs yet, it just announced a competition taking place on August 1 in Shanghai, where winners will get an iQOO 15. According to past rumors, the iQOO 15 will have a 6.85-inch QHD+ Samsung-made flat LTPO OLED screen, a 50 MP periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor, and support for 100W wired charging. It may also get wireless charging. vivo iQOO 13 256GB 12GB RAM ₹ 54,998 ₹ 54,998 512GB 16GB RAM ₹ 59,998 Source 1 (in Chinese) | Source 2 (in Chinese)
