Redmi 15 5G specs leak: 6.9" 144Hz display, huge battery and a surprising chipset
The Redmi 15 5G is said to feature a 6.9' 1080p+ 144Hz display. Previous Redmi models commonly had 720p+ resolution, so this is a welcome upgrade. The high refresh rate is the cherry on top (usually, we see 120Hz).
There's more – the phone will allegedly be powered by the Snapdragon 6s Gen 3. That too is higher than normal as the Redmi number series typically uses Snapdragon 4-series chips for its 5G models (e.g. Redmi 13 5G and Redmi 14C 5G featured Snapdragon 4 Gen 2). It's a 6nm chip, so it's nothing too advanced, but it's still a class above the usual silicon we see in these phones. The chipset will be paired with up to 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB storage.
The phone will launch with the tagline 'One Charge. Two days. Zero Worries.' and it justifies that with a massive 7,000mAh battery. Only two Xiaomi phones have a higher capacity – the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro and Redmi K80 Ultra, both of which are high-end models.
The charge speed is on the low side at just 33W. That's going to take a while to fill all 7,000mAh, but at least you'll only have to do it once every couple of days.
The leak reveals additional detail, like a 50MP main camera joined only by a 2MP helper on the back, plus a fairly basic 8MP selfie camera. On the plus side, NFC is supported, which isn't always the case in some markets.

Speaking of, the price is given as 'RM 699-RM 750', which reveals that this info comes from Malaysia. The price converts to $165-$180, by the way.
For now, there is no information on when Xiaomi will unveil the Redmi 15 5G. Given all the leaks, we think that the Redmi 15C 4G is just around the corner, but these could have separate launches.

Google Pixel 10 lineup shown in multiple leaks, Week 30 in review
Welcome to your weekly news recap. Google's Pixel 10 series dominated your attention with a total of four top stories. They showed all four upcoming Pixel 10 devices in all of their colors. Google even jumped in on the action and teased the Pixel 10 Pro design officially, and showed the entire four-phone series in the Play Store. The Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL, and 10 Pro Fold are all coming alongside the Pixel Watch 4 on August 20. The Pixel 10 series will be unveiled on August 20. The lineup reportedly includes four smartphones - Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold. They aren't the dullest, but also not the most exciting ever. The first details about the Redmi Note 15 Pro+ surfaced this week. The phone is said to sport a screen with "1.5K" resolution and thin symmetrical bezels on all sides, a 50 MP main camera, a 50 MP telephoto camera, and a battery capacity between 7,000 mAh and 7,999 mAh. The Redmi Note 15 Pro+ will allegedly be powered by the yet-unannounced Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset. The CMF Watch 3 Pro is official with a larger 1.43-inch display, a precision-milled metal frame, and a soft-touch silicone strap. It's on sale in several countries for $99/£99/€99. A new vivo or iQOO phone is in the works, as evidenced by a Geekbench run. It packs a Dimensity 9400+ and an 8,000mAh battery! It doesn't have many improvements compared to its predecessor, but one of them is pretty significant. The watch gains dual-band GPS, ChatGPT support and new sports modes. It's available starting today in three color options. It might be the iQOO Z10 Turbo Pro+. Nokia has been parting ways with HMD in the past year, and it looks like it's looking to license its brand name to a new "large scale mobile manufacturer". Nokia had licensed its brand in several different segments – Streamview made TVs, RichGo made headphones (and other smartphone accessories), and OFF Global made laptops. As you can probably tell from the use of the past tense, those branding deals have also come to an end. Which company would you like to see pick up the Nokia brand for phones – one of the established players or another startup like HMD? According to a new rumor from China, the OnePlus 15 will launch in the country in October, but not alone. It will allegedly be unveiled alongside the Ace 6 (and possibly the Ace 6 Pro as well), which is an interesting change in strategy for the brand, which last year unveiled the OnePlus 13 in October and the Ace 5 in December. HMD stopped using the Nokia brand and has been releasing phones under its own brand. Now the Finns may be looking for another company to take up the mantle. The chipset choices are interesting too. It's not something it's done before.

I've hated this phone design trend for years, and I'm happy it's gone
I'm now finally happy to report that one of the most annoying features of modern smartphones is finally done for in 2025. After a not-so-brief fad that spanned from high-end to entry-level devices, this is the year when curved-screen phones are now a distant memory and an exception rather than the rule. To me, there was nothing more annoying than a great flagship phone with a screen that curves towards the frame to the sides. I'll admit that the first iterations of this design fad that I experienced on the Galaxy S7 edge and the Galaxy S8 were quite intriguing and novel, successfully setting themselves apart from the rest of their rivals at the time. It was new and flashy and looked a bit futuristic. What do you mean we could suddenly make phones with curved displays that didn't have to be completely flat? As an added bonus, the arrival of curved screens coincided with the major paradigm shift in terms of interface navigation: gestures. Somehow, curved screens worked quite well with gesture-based navigation back in the day, allowing for really satisfying and precise back gestures, for example. However, over the next couple of years since the first curved-screen Samsung flagships, I used many more phones with such screens and quickly began to detest them for various, dare I say, objectively true reasons. The Galaxy S8 was exceptional and the curved design was intriguing back then, but it quickly overstayed its welcome in the coming years (Image by PhoneArena) No two ways about it - curved screens are terrible when it comes to ergonomics. The reason is glaringly obvious: less area on the side for a comfortable grip. In the most extreme cases I can recall, we had some very extreme curves that ended with barely a millimeter or two of usable area, which is barely enough for a secure hold. That's opposed to most modern phones, where the side frame you grip is as thick as the phone itself, giving significantly better contact with the user's palm even though sharper edges themselves are a whole other can of worms. Probably the most offensive aspect of a phone with a curved screen is just how much of the displayed content is lost to the curve itself. Even though a phone with such a screen was technically, say, 6.7 inches wide, the actual usable area was smaller due to the sides of the screen warping the photos, videos, or any other content you're viewing. Not cool at all. That was particularly bad if you watched a lot of video or gamed a lot on your phone, as the experience was much worse than a contemporary device with a more regular flat display. This was one of the biggest reasons why I grew to dislike phones with curved screens that much. But get this, it's not only that curved screens "ate" up usable screen real estate - the curves also gave us significant edge reflections and glare. The crests of the curves were always prone to pick up all the reflections from all nearby light sources. This only added insult to injury, as you not only had less usable screen real estate, the offending areas also blinded you and added to the inferior experience. Reflections galore (Image by PhoneArena) Accidental "ghost" touches In the earlier days of curved-screen phones, I used to accidentally trigger gestures and buttons all the time. Palm rejection wasn't great then, but even later devices often made it easy to unintentionally tap some interface element. That has never happened to me with a regular non-curved phone. Imagine how much more battery you could fit on a phone with a curved screen if it had flat edges instead. Well, probably not much, but as in all cases, every little bit helps. The unique shape of curved-screen phones means that the extreme parts of the phones were a liability rather than providing usable extra space for extra hardware. I'm a klutz, so if a phone I'm using doesn't come with a pre-applied screen protector, I usually try to get one just for the sake of protecting the screen from scratches and drops. With modern flat-screen phones, that's an easy ordeal, you can find a decent tempered glass or TPU screen protector for just about any modern phone out there. However, that's not the case with curved screens. Screen protectors were a pain to find and apply, and they typically left an unprotected area which got in the way of your finger tips and made the navigation experience that much worse. Have you cracked the screen of a phone with a curved display? I have, and the repair bill was not a particularly beautiful sight to behold. Call in anecdotal evidence, but I'm certain that curved screen replacements were always pricier than those of standard phones. And that's the problem, really: curved displays only added to the costs of ownership without actively contributing to the overall functionality of the phone itself. For me, that's the clearest case of form over function, and I',m so glad we've phased these out. I haven't had to use a curved-screen phone extensively for more than a year, and what a relief! Only dealing with flat-screen phones and not having to put up with all the negative reasons listed above has been nothing short of a mini revelation. I'm so glad we've outgrown the peculiar curves and universally adopted the modern all-flat design language, which honestly is the most sensible one around.
