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

Galaxy Z Fold 7 competitor confirms camera boost right before the big launch
There is a new foldable coming from Honor and it is landing just days before Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7. This one is shaping up to be a serious contender and now we are getting a clearer look at what kind of camera system it is bringing to the table. Honor is teasing the upcoming Honor Magic V5, which will reclaim the title of world's thinnest foldable phone – a title, previously held by the Magic V3 and currently by the Oppo Find N5. But let's not focus on thinness this time around (even though, let's be real, thin is in and everyone's fighting hard for those last few millimeters). What is more exciting is that Honor has confirmed the Magic V5 will feature a 64 MP periscope telephoto camera, clearing up earlier rumors that wavered between a 50 MP or 64 MP sensor. This camera will include OIS and even support telephoto macro photography, which could make it one of the more versatile shooters among foldables. That means you can look forward to clearer and more stable zoomed-in photos. Plus, with telephoto macro support, you'll be able to take detailed close-up pictures that show all the little things – perfect for capturing fine details up close. Honor confirmed a 64 MP telephoto camera. | Image credit – Honor As for the rest of the camera setup, it is expected to include a 50 MP main camera and a 50 MP ultra-wide – so a solid triple combo. To compare, its biggest current rival, the vivo X Fold 5, which just launched in China, comes with a 50 MP main, 50 MP telephoto and 50 MP ultra-wide setup. Meanwhile, the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7, launching July 9, is expected to offer a different flavor with a 200 MP main, 10 MP telephoto and 12 MP ultra-wide. Which one will deliver the best results? That is still up in the air, but once we get our hands on these phones, we'll be able to tell for sure. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 camera: All you need to know Camera talk aside, the Honor Magic V5 is launching July 2 and it is expected to pack a huge 6,100mAh battery – just 100mAh more than the vivo X Fold 5, but way ahead of the 4,400mAh reportedly coming with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 . So yeah, Honor definitely has the upper hand here in the battery department. Galaxy Z Fold 7 Battery and Charging: What to expect And, like I mentioned earlier, the Magic V5 will also be the thinnest of them all, coming in at 8.8mm when folded. Sure, the difference is barely a millimeter or two compared to the others, but it still shows how far the tech has come – a sign of how competition keeps pushing the bar higher. Under the hood, the Magic V5 is expected to run on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite, the same chip expected in the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and a step up from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 powering vivo's foldable. So overall, they are all playing in the same high-end space when it comes to performance, features and even design (at least on paper), which makes choosing between them that much harder. But let's be honest – in the US, the decision might already be made for you. As good as the Honor Magic V5 and vivo X Fold 5 might be in some areas, Samsung is still the only one making its foldables available stateside. So unless that changes, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will probably be the one most people end up with. Secure your connection now at a bargain price!

Four folding phones that I hope the Galaxy Z Fold 7 emulates
Samsung is set to launch the Galaxy Z Fold 7 at Galaxy Unpacked in under two weeks, but it will face intense competition from key folding phone rivals on the global stage, despite being the thinnest and lightest Samsung folding phone to date. The Oppo Find N5 is currently the world's thinnest folding phone, but it's set to be surpassed by the new Honor Magic V5. Unlike the former, the Honor is expected to launch in many global markets that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is likely to target as well. Recommended Videos Then there's China, the world's biggest smartphone market. Folding phones are most popular in Asia, and China is a key market for every phone maker. It is also the most fiercely competitive market, with many folding phones only launched in China. Here are four phones that I hope the Galaxy Z Fold 7 emulates and why. Vivo X Fold 5: Battery, Cameras, and Apple integration This is the newest official device on our list, as Vivo unveiled the X Fold 5 just two days ago in China. This is a China-only release for now, but unlike previous versions, it's also expected to make a debut outside China, this time in India. There's good reason that strategy will likely be successful: the Vivo X Fold 5 is the best value-for-money folding phone on this list. In China, it's priced at CN¥6,999, or approximately $976, which is hundreds of dollars less than its key rivals. For that, you get an excellent specs sheet that includes an 8-inch main display, a 6.53-inch Cover Display, and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor paired with either 12GB or 16GB of RAM and between 256GB and 1TB of storage. There are three 50MP cameras, including a periscope telephoto offering 3x optical zoom. All of this is powered by a 6,000 mAh battery, the largest of any book-style folding phone to date. I hope Samsung copies Vivo — and many other phone makers, including Motorola — by adopting Silicon Carbon battery technology, as higher density means bigger batteries in the same physical space. The Vivo X Fold 5 also features 80W wired charging and 40W wireless, both of which are faster than the current Galaxy Z Fold 6. The most interesting Vivo X Fold 5 feature is the reported integration with Apple devices. Vivo claims that it's the first Android phone to support the Apple Watch. Once paired with an iPhone, a future update for Vivo will enable the phone to update health information, display notifications, and receive or make calls and texts. Vivo goes even further, though: the X Fold 5 will also work seamlessly with AirPods and can be paired with an iPhone, so all your calls, texts, and notifications from your iPhone are mirrored on the Vivo. There's also deep integration with Macs, allowing you to use the X Fold 5 as an extended screen, similar to the iPad with Sidecar. Vivo's software also offers a Big Screen Experience, allowing you to run up to five apps simultaneously, with file transfer support across these apps via drag-and-drop functionality. Samsung supporting the iPhone and Apple ecosystem would be a great way to tempt users to switch, especially with the rumored iPhone Fold still a year away. The Vivo won't make its way to the US, so Samsung could bring this feature to the US for the first time as well. Honor Magic V3 / V5: Thinnest and Lightest foldable The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is expected to be one of the thinnest phones on the market, but Honor kickstarted this trend with the Magic V2, which was 4.7mm when unfolded. A year later, the Magic V3 pushed the boundaries further to 4.35mm, and the Magic V5 is expected to be even thinner. The latest Galaxy Z Fold 7 rumors suggest that Samsung's new foldable may be even thinner than the Honor when unfolded at 3.9mm, or it might be roughly similar in thickness, at 4.2mm. Regardless, Samsung is set to follow in these footsteps, which is a welcome improvement from the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which is 5.6mm thick when folded and 12.1mm thick when unfolded. As folding phones have gotten thinner, they haven't dropped as much in weight, and most folding phones are at least 20-30 grams heavier than the best phones. However, the Magic V5 is expected to be the lightest folding phone yet, which will help push the industry further in this direction. Oppo Find N5: Design, Stylus, Open Canvas, and Battery Following the Magic V3, Oppo unveiled the world's thinnest foldable, the Find N5, earlier this year. However, this was not before they disappointed customers by announcing that it wouldn't come to the US as the OnePlus Open 2, as was originally expected. The reason is unclear, but it is rumored to be due to the price, with the Find N5 the most expensive foldable on this list. That's not a bad thing, as the Find N5 is currently the best folding phone you can buy. It has the ultra-thin design, and at 4.21mm thick when unfolded, it's stunningly beautiful in the hand. However, the Find N5 offers more than just pretty looks, with a specs sheet that wouldn't be out of place in any flagship. This includes the largest main display on a folding phone, measuring 8.12 inches, and a triple camera setup featuring two 50MP cameras, including a telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. It's powered by the 7-core version of the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, paired with 16GB of RAM and 512GB or 1TB of storage. Despite its thin body, the Find N5 manages to pack a 5,600 mAh Silicon-Carbon battery with 80W charging, which can charge it to full in just 50 minutes. For context, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is almost twice as slow, as despite a smaller 4,400 mAh battery, the 45W charging takes around 100 minutes to charge to full. The Find N5 also follows Samsung's lead with stylus support, but, like Samsung, it's not embedded within the device. However, Oppo managed to beat the current Galaxy Z Fold series by enabling Oppo Pen support on both the front and main screens, whereas the Galaxy Z Fold 6 only supports the S-Pen on the main screen. I'm not sure how many people use the S-Pen with the Galaxy Z Fold series, but I hope the Galaxy Z Fold 7 finally supports the S-Pen on both screens. The Find N5 also features the innovative Open Canvas multitasking feature, which transforms the large main screen into a virtual canvas, allowing you to run three apps in full size, free from the boundaries of the physical screen size. It's incredibly innovative, and I would love for Samsung to introduce an evolved version of its excellent multitasking that incorporates a virtualization feature, similar to the Oppo Find N5. The key Galaxy Z Fold 7 rumors The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is widely expected to be the biggest update to the Fold lineup in years, and Samsung has confirmed as much with its tease of the new Ultra foldable experience. We've already rounded up all the key features of the Galaxy Z Fold 7, but the biggest changes are expected to be in the camera, displays, and build. The two displays are expected to be larger, with Samsung adopting a wider form factor that's more akin to the best folding phones, such as the Google Pixel Fold. The main display should increase to around 8.2 inches, making it the biggest of any folding phone yet, and bigger than the latest iPad Mini. The main camera is also expected to receive an upgrade, with Samsung opting to use a 200MP camera, similar to the one found in the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Presumably, this will be the same 200MP sensor found in the Galaxy S25 Edge, which is approximately 20% smaller to accommodate the thin design. As mentioned above, the key selling point of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is likely to be its significantly thinner and lighter design compared to previous devices. Will there be any major trade-offs? I'm not sure, but I'm already giddy with excitement for the Galaxy Z Fold 7. The next two weeks can't pass fast enough.
