The Huawei Mate XT remains the only commercially available tri-foldable out heavily sanctioned (by numerous US administrations) company is now rumored to be preparing a second iteration of the Huawei Mate XT. What's more, a Weibo (that's the Chinese alternative to X) tipster claims the next Huawei Mate XT phone will drop come September (so, a bit over two months from now).While there are no specific hardware or software-related leaks, the tipster (called Smart Pikachu) claims the phone will support satellite connectivity. Also, the next version of the Mate XT (will it be called Mate XT 2?) should offer an upgraded chipset, as well as enhancements on the camera front, but Smart Pikachu doesn't go in detail about what to are some leaks pointing at the possibility that Huawei's upcoming Mate XT 2 may feature a major upgrade in its display, using advanced ultra-flexible glass (UFG) technology. This same material is used in Samsung's W25, a premium version of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 available only in China. UFG offers better durability and flexibility than the ultra-thin glass (UTG) found in most foldable phones . It's also hinted that a Chinese manufacturer may be emerging as a rival to Germany's Schott, which currently supplies Samsung with its UFG thicker and heavier than typical foldables, the original Huawei Mate XT manages to feel comfortable in the hand and transforms into a 10.2-inch tablet with a cinematic 16:11 aspect ratio – ideal for media and productivity. The 3K OLED screen is visually stunning, although limited to a 90 Hz refresh rate, a small compromise likely made for better power is solid for everyday tasks and most games, though the in-house Kirin 9010 chip lags behind newer flagship processors, especially in graphics-heavy scenarios. International users may find the lack of native Google Services a drawback, especially those with professional Workspace accounts, although open-source solutions like microG offer partial workarounds for standard Google accounts.

OnePlus could challenge Lenovo with this rumored gaming tablet
Paul Jones / Android Authority TL;DR A Weibo tipster claims OnePlus is testing a compact gaming tablet with a 3K, 165Hz display. The device is said to have an 8.x-inch screen and a 'geeky and simple' design. The rumored tablet would follow the recently released Pad 3 and the upcoming Pad Lite. OnePlus has been pushing hard into the tablet space this year, and we might be about to see the manufacturer expand those ambitions. If the rumors prove accurate, a OnePlus compact gaming tablet may be on the way. According to reliable tipster Smart Pikachu on Weibo (h/t NotebookCheck), the company is currently testing a new gaming tablet with an 8.x-inch display, 3K resolution, and a 165Hz refresh rate. The design is described as 'geeky and simple,' hinting at a stripped-down, no-frills look that prioritizes performance over flash. Weibo The leak didn't mention a name or release timeline, but the compact screen size and high refresh rate point to a device aimed at on-the-go gaming. This could potentially be a rival to products like the Lenovo Legion Y700 or RedMagic Gaming Tablet 3 Pro, both of which target similar use cases. OnePlus is fast establishing itself as one of the leading players to watch in the tablet market. The company's recently launched OnePlus Pad 3 earned high praise in our recent review, offering elite performance, a vibrant 144Hz display, and battery life to match. But that slate features a large 13.2-inch screen and is positioned more as a productivity and entertainment workhorse. A smaller, faster tablet would help round out the lineup with a more dedicated gaming focus. OnePlus is already set to unveil five devices at its Summer Launch event on July 8, including a budget-friendly Pad Lite. However, this rumored gaming tablet is not among them and is said to still be in testing, so we'll keep an eye out for more details later in the year. Got a tip? Talk to us!

Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 teased, here is all you need to know about Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 rival
Xiaomi is expected to launch its next clamshell foldable, the Mix Flip 2, which could arrive in China very soon. While the company hasn't officially confirmed the phone yet, a senior Xiaomi executive recently dropped a major hint on Weibo. According to the post, Xiaomi's President Lu Weibing had a conversation with users of the first-generation Mix Flip to understand what worked, what didn't, and what could be improved in the next model. This strongly points to the Mix Flip 2 being on the way — possibly launching by the end of June alongside the Redmi K80 Ultra and a new gaming-focused Redmi couple of well-known tipsters, including Digital Chat Station and Smart Pikachu, have also claimed that Xiaomi will unveil the foldable later this month. Adding to the speculation, the Mix Flip 2 was recently spotted on China's 3C certification site, which usually appears shortly before a Mix Flip 2: What to expect?The Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 is tipped to arrive with some solid upgrades. It could feature a large 6.85-inch LTPO OLED inner display with a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Powering the phone might be Qualcomm's top-end Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. In terms of design, leaks suggest the Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 will be slightly slimmer and lighter than the first model, which already measured a sleek 7.6mm when folded and weighed around 192 grams. Xiaomi could be aiming to make the new model even more pocket-friendly without compromising on battery life. The phone is said to pack a 5,100mAh battery with support for 67W wired and 50W wireless charging — a noticeable jump from the 4,780mAh cell in the the camera front, the Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 is expected to sport dual 50-megapixel lenses — primary and ultra-wide. Other features may include a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, IPX8 water resistance, NFC, and an IR blaster — all of which have featured on recent Xiaomi said, the launch of the Mix Flip 2 could place Xiaomi in direct competition with Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 7, which is also expected to arrive in July. While Samsung hasn't confirmed anything yet, leaks suggest the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will keep a similar design to the Galaxy Z Flip 6 but might offer a slightly larger 6.85-inch main display and a 4-inch cover screen. It's rumoured to be powered by the Exynos 2500 chip, so it'll be interesting to see how it compares to the Mix Flip 2 in terms of performance. On paper, both foldables should be fairly is also reportedly working on better battery life and a less visible crease on the Galaxy Z Flip 7's folding display, but there may not be any major camera hardware upgrades over the Galaxy Z Flip 6. The expected setup includes a 50-megapixel main camera, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide, and a 10-megapixel selfie these rumours are accurate, the Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 could give Samsung's foldable a real run for its money — at least in markets where both are available. While Xiaomi is expected to launch the Mix Flip 2 in China first, a global launch could follow in July, making it the company's only foldable phone for those who don't know, Xiaomi launched the first-generation Mix Flip last year in China, alongside the Mix Fold 4. However, the Mix Flip didn't launch in India, so whether the second-gen version makes it here remains to be seen.

Xiaomi stealing Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7's show with its upcoming foldable
Xiaomi might not sell its smartphones in the United States, but the Chinese company is one of the world's largest smartphone manufacturers, consistently ranking among top five globally in terms of shipments. That alone makes Xiaomi dangerous for more established brands like Apple and Samsung. Speaking of the latter, the South Korean giant is expected to launch two new flagship foldables as early as July, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7. Based on previous history and the recent leaks, Samsung is no longer betting on innovation but rather hopes that its next foldables will sell thanks to the popularity of its brand among customers. Either that will be true or not we'll most likely find out soon after the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 launch in just a few months, but the fact that some of Samsung's main competitors will launch similar products before that will certainly not help. Xiaomi is rumored to come out with a brand-new flagship, a sequel to the Mix Flip, sometime in June, one month earlier than Galaxy Z Flip 7 is supposed to hit the market. According to reliable tipster Smart Pikachu, the end of June will be filled with big announcements, as no less than three interesting devices are likely to be introduced: Xiaomi Mix Flip 2, Redmi K80 Extreme Edition, and a Redmi gaming tablet. Xiaomi Mix Flip | Image credit: Xiaomi The Chinese leaker also claims Xiaomi's foldable will be thinner and lighter than the original Mix Flip. It will also be compatible with a range of nifty accessories, which haven't been named, sadly. As per previous reports, Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 measures 7.66mm when unfolded and weighs 190 grams. The phone is said to sports a 6.85-inch internal OLED display that supports 1.5K resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate. Other Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 rumored specs include a decent 5,100 mAh battery with 67W wired and 50W wireless charging support, as well as a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. In comparison, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 is said to feature a 6.85-inch internal panel, as well as a 4-inch cover display. The foldable is expected to pack the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite or a different Exynos 2500 chipset, but a much smaller 4,100 mAh battery with 25W wired and 15W wireless charging speed support. Although it's hard to say which of the two foldables will be the better one, the fact that Xiaomi's Mix Flip 2 will hit the market about a month earlier will definitely make the Galaxy Z Flip 7 harder sell. Of course, that's not the case in the US where Xiaomi does not sell any of its products.

OnePlus 15 leaks ahead of its launch: Expected to debut with Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chip, triple-lens rear system, and more
OnePlus 15 leaks: The OnePlus 15 is generating a lot of excitement, and enthusiasts are excited about its release. With speculations and leaks circulating on the internet, it's time to distinguish fact from fiction and get a taste of what this device may have in store. In this post, we'll provide you with the most recent updates on the OnePlus 15, such as what to anticipate from its India debut, likely pricing, and more. Whether you're a die-hard OnePlus fan or simply searching for a powerful new smartphone, we'll explain all you need to know about the OnePlus 15. OnePlus 15 expected launch timeline The upcoming OnePlus 15 is already generating hype months before its planned release. In India, the flagship is projected to follow in the footsteps of its predecessor, the OnePlus 13, and might debut in January 2026. OnePlus 15 expected specifications Camera When it comes to cameras, specifics remain hazy. According to Digital Chat Station, the OnePlus 15 will include a triple-lens back camera system, including a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto lens. However, another reputable leaker, Smart Pikachu, has speculated that the periscope lens might be a 200-megapixel sensor. If genuine, this would represent a significant increase in OnePlus' zoom and image capabilities. Display According to famed tipster Digital Chat Station, one of the most noticeable changes is the switch to a flat display, which is a break from the curved panels used in recent OnePlus flagships. The 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED panel is believed to have a 1.5K resolution, which is somewhat lower than the 2K (QHD+) screen featured on the OnePlus 13. However, the new design will reportedly include ultraslim and symmetrical bezels, similar to the thin edges found on recent iPhones. Processor The gadget could be powered by Qualcomm's speculated Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset, known internally as the SM8850. Benchmarks show outstanding performance, with the chip scoring 3.8 million on AnTuTu and achieving a 25% boost on Geekbench 6 vs its predecessor. It is also believed to be created using TSMC's 3nm (N3P) process, which promises more efficiency and power. Given that the OnePlus 13 has up to 24GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, similar or even higher specifications are expected. Design While design details are unknown, early rumors point to a sleek and simple structure. If OnePlus continues to reduce device thickness (the OnePlus 13 was 8.5mm thick), the 15 might be much slimmer, possibly without compromising battery capacity. Also Read: OnePlus 13s vs OnePlus 13: From 6.32-inch OLED panel to 6,260mAh battery - 5 big changes you can expect to come on 5th June OnePlus 15 expected price The OnePlus 13 was released at Rs 69,999 for the vanilla model. Even though the OnePlus 15 may include various changes, we may not see a significant increase in pricing. While nothing has been confirmed, speculation suggests that the OnePlus 15 will cost around Rs 80,000. For the latest and more interesting tech news, keep reading Indiatimes Tech.
