This is the Oukitel WP210 rugged smartphone with a 108MP camera, 8,800 mAh battery, and IP69K rating
Rugged smartphone maker Oukitel will introduce the Oukitel WP210 soon. The brand hasn't revealed its launch date yet, but we've received its images and specifications exclusively from a reliable source, telling us what to expect from the WP210 rugged smartphone. The Oukitel WP210 has the Dimensity 8200 SoC at the helm with 12GB RAM and 512GB of storage. The smartphone will run Android 15 out of the box, but we don't know how many years of software support it will receive. The Oukitel WP210 is built around a 6.7" 120Hz FullHD+ AMOLED display having 550 nits typical brightness and Gorilla Glass 5 protection. It also has a fingerprint reader underneath for biometric authentication. The WP210 will feature four cameras. There will be a 32MP selfie camera (Sony IMX615-AAJH5-C) on the front and a triple camera setup on the rear, which will be a combination of a 108MP primary camera (Samsung S5KHM6SX), a 2MP macro camera (GalaxyCore GC02M1), and a depth unit (GalaxyCore GC032A). The Oukitel WP210 will pack an 8,800 mAh battery with 45W charging support. It will also have 10W reverse wired charging, allowing it to be used as a power bank to charge other devices. Other highlights of the Oukitel WP210 include NFC, IP68 and IP69K ratings, and MIL-STD-810H certification. The smartphone will be 13.7mm thick and weigh 311 g. We are told it will be advertised as "a rugged phone built for fast performance from urban missions to outdoor leisure without the bulk." The Oukitel WP210's target audience includes outdoor workers who value durability, outdoor enthusiasts (hikers, travelers, cyclists) who prefer camera performance and long-lasting battery, and businessmen who want smooth performance and long battery endurance. The Oukitel WP210 will come in red, black, and gray colors. Its launch price will be less than $400 (€345/INR34,880), and it will be available through Oukitel's website starting mid-August and on Amazon by the end of August.

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE will also feature a smaller battery, real image leaked
*Header image is referential and showcases the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE. | Image credit — PhoneArena The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 FE will apparently ( translated source ) feature a smaller battery than its predecessor: the Galaxy S24 FE . In addition, the leak has provided a real-world look at the S25 FE and, unsurprisingly, it looks just like the FE model that came before it. This is the Galaxy S25 FE. | Image credit — Setsuna Digital The reduction is battery capacity is supposed to facilitate the other upgrades on the phone. For example, it's thinner than the S24 FE ( 7.4 mm instead of 8 mm ), and it's lighter too ( 190 grams instead of 213 grams ). This is further proof of Apple and Samsung diverging in how they approach their smartphones moving forward. The battery on the Galaxy S25 FE will be 4500 mAh, while the S24 FE had a battery capacity of 4,700 mAh. While a reduction of 200 mAh isn't too bad, it's still a bit disappointing to see. Especially considering that previous reports were saying that the phone will have a 4,900 mAh battery instead. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra kept the same battery as many of its predecessors. | Video credit — Samsung However, I would advise taking this leak with a grain of salt. The thing is, this insider is generally very reputable, and there's another tipster backing up the claim of a smaller battery. However, a recent post which listed all of the Galaxy S25 FE specs claimed to have made a typo, and written down '4,500' instead of '4,900'. I would not be surprised if the typo caught on and people began to spread it around as fact. After the new Galaxy S25 Edge, it's very plausible that Samsung might sacrifice battery life for slimmer phones, but it's equally possible that the exact opposite happens. The S25 Edge will directly take on the upcoming new model by Apple, the iPhone 17 Air. I don't think that Samsung needs to sacrifice battery life on other models, and so I wouldn't pout about the S25 FE just yet. For all we know, this leak may be completely wrong, no matter how reliable the source is.

Deals: Xiaomi 15 Ultra and Honor Magic7 Pro get price cuts, whole Poco F7 series gets discounted
This week we have some camera titans from Xiaomi and Honor, discounted Google Pixels, Poco F7 phones for excellent performance on the cheap and a Galaxy S25+ deal that may be better than what Samsung UK offers. The Xiaomi 15 Ultra is one of the best camera phones of the year with its 50MP 1'-type main sensor, 50MP 3x/70mm telephoto plus a 200MP 4.3x/100mm second telephoto module and a 50MP ultra-wide. It has always been pretty pricey, though. This is the cool-looking Silver Chrome color, by the way. Xiaomi 15 Ultra £295 off Read our review 16/512GB - £1,104 at Amazon UK The Honor Magic7 Pro is cheaper, but still packs quite a punch. It is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite like the Xiaomi. The main 50MP camera has a smaller but still large 1/1.3' sensor. There is only one telephoto module on board, but it's a 200MP 3x/72mm camera. And there's the 50MP ultra-wide too. The Honor has the bigger battery too, 5,850mAh vs. 5,410mAh for the global models, with comparable charging (100W wired, 80W wireless vs. 90W wired, 80W wireless). Honor Magic7 Pro £250 off Read our review 12/512GB - £850 at Amazon UK A couple of weeks ago, we looked at Pixel discounts and they are still live. The Google Pixel 9 is up to £300 off, which makes it as cheap as it has ever been. But the more capable Google Pixel 9 Pro isn't far off with a solid discount of its own. Check out our detailed head-to-head comparison for a closer look at how these two stack up. Unfortunately, Pro models with more than 128GB storage seem to be out of stock. You can try your luck at the Google online store, but at the moment of writing that doesn't have any stock either. If you like high-end Snapdragons on the cheap, the Poco F7 family is the place to go. The vanilla Poco F7 offers a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 for just £330 at the moment. It is paired with a large 6.83' 12-bit 1280p+ display with 3,200 nits peak brightness and a huge 6,500mAh battery. However, the camera is pretty basic. The Poco F7 Pro upgrades you to a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (no 's') for just £50 more. Its display is smaller at 6.67', but it has a higher resolution of 1440p+. The battery is pretty big too at 6,000mAh. Our Poco F7 vs. F7 Pro article has more details. Then there's the Poco F7 Ultra – it's pricey for a Poco F, but this is as close to a proper flagship as the series has ever gotten. And it's hard to find a Snapdragon 8 Elite at just over £500 anywhere else. The 5,300mAh battery is on the small side, but it has fast wired (120W) and wireless (50W) charging. The camera has a 50MP 1/1.55' sensor, there is a telephoto module too, 50MP 2.5x/60mm, and a 32MP ultra-wide. Not amazing, but better than any previous Poco F. Here's how it compares with the F7 Pro. Another branch of the Xiaomi family tree has the Redmi Note 14 Pro+ 5G. It is equipped with a 200MP main camera, but that's where most of the budget went – the ultra-wide has only an 8MP sensor. To be fair, we're looking at something that's quite a bit cheaper than even the vanilla Poco F7 and it offers a great quality 6.67' display for the class (1220p+, 12-bit, Dolby Vision, 3,000 nits with GG Victus 2). The 5,110mAh battery is on the small side, but since this is the Pro+ model, you get 120W wired-only fast charging. If you are looking at a Samsung Galaxy S25 model, check out the Samsung UK offer, which gives you a free Galaxy Watch7, plus a few other perks like 6 months of Google AI Pro (with 2TB cloud storage) for free. However, the base discounts are pretty small – e.g. the S25 and S25+ are only £100 off. Sure, the free Watch7 adds value and you get a minimum of £50 if you trade in an old phone. Still, the S25+ starts at £900. You can dodge the hassle and get the Galaxy S25+ for £700 after a £200 discount and additional £100 off at checkout from Amazon. No freebies, but a Watch7 may not be to your taste, anyway. The Samsung Galaxy S25 starts at £700 in Samsung's offer and if you want the small flagship, you should probably take it. Amazon UK has it cheaper at £650, but without the extra £100 at checkout, we think we'd rather pay £50 more and get the free watch. That £50 difference disappears with the guaranteed £50 trade-in value, anyway, so check your drawers for an old, forgotten smartphone. PS. If you want a Samsung foldable instead, the Buy and Try program we wrote about last week is still active (it ends August 19). We may get a commission from qualifying sales.
