The yet-unnamed phone will also allegedly have a large flat LTPS OLED screen with "1.5K" resolution.

Given the mid-range nature of the A-series, it's clearly not going to be a high end SoC. People on Weibo are speculating it might be the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4, or a Snapdragon 6 series SoC, or perhaps the MediaTek...

The next big release for Oppo's Android skin is ColorOS 17, which will presumably be based on Android 17. This is coming within the next few months, and today a rumor from China claims it will draw more than a little bit of inspiration from Apple's Liquid Glass design, introduced with iOS 26 last year. Unfortunately there aren't many details, but the source claims Oppo's version is more "liquid acrylic" than "liquid glass", since it has "relatively weak refraction" on the UI elements. The advantage of choosing this option is allegedly lower power consumption and better...

Apple's first foldable smartphone, widely rumored to be coming this fall under the name iPhone Ultra, is now said to sport a liquid metal hinge. This information comes from one of the most prolific leakers over on Weibo. According to this source, the development of the iPhone Ultra is progressing rapidly, and prototypes have already been shipped to carriers worldwide for testing ahead of the launch. Despite the name, "liquid metal" is an alloy that isn't actually liquid, but unlike traditional metals, which have a rigid, crystalline atomic structure, it has a disordered,...

CAD-based renders of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Wide, now reportedly renamed Galaxy Z Fold8, revealed its design back in March. However, we recently saw a dummy unit of the Fold8 in a hands-on video, which gave us a better look at the wide foldable.
