The vivo X300, on the other hand, is confirmed to come in red. However, it's unlikely to be the only color option for Indian customers, since vanilla models historically came in multiple colors in India.

Yesterday we caught the Poco F8 Ultra in the Geekbench online database, with a prototype having run the benchmark. This revealed that it's powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC.
Today it was the Poco F8 Pro's turn to run Geekbench, and this has confirmed that it's powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite. The prototype which ran the benchmark had 12GB of RAM, but of course more options could be offered upon launch.

A few days ago a report surfaced alleging that Samsung changed the dimensions of the upcoming Galaxy S26. It was initially supposed to be 6.9mm thick, but this was then adjusted to 7.24mm. That seemed odd, but today a new report from the company's home of Korea purports to explain why it happened.
Apparently, Apple is to blame. Specifically, the fact that the Cupertino company kept the iPhone 17 at $799 in the US, not increasing its price compared to its predecessor. Samsung wants the S26 to be priced exactly the same, which is why it allegedly had to make it thicker than it initially...
