Motorola's next big launch is set for next week
We also know the Moto G96 is powered by a mid-tier Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor. Motorola confirmed the Moto G96 packs 8 GB RAM and 256 GB internal memory. A cheaper version with 8 GB RAM and 128 GB storage will be available too. As far as the camera goes, the most important details revealed by Motorola include a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-700C sensor housed by the main camera, as well as a 32-megapixel selfie snapper. The phone has a dual camera, but there's no information about the second one. The best part is that the Moto G96 comes with a pretty decent 5,500 mAh battery, which promises up to 35 hours of talk time, 32 hours of video playback, or 119 hours of music. We were surprised to see that Motorola will only offer three years of security updates for the Moto G96. Although the US-based company typically offers two/three years of OS updates and three/four years of security updates, Motorola made some important steps toward increasing the software support period it offers to its customers.Motorola's first smartphone to receive five years of OS updates and five years of security patches, Moto Edge 50 Neo, was launched back in September, so we thought every other phone launched by Motorola will follow the new policy, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Motorola is one of the very few companies that uses Qualcomm's Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset, which means very little competition for the Moto G96. Unless you don't mind getting a similar mid-range phone but powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7200/7300 processor, which nearly the same when it comes to performance.There are quite a few mid-range phones that match the description, such as the Motorola Edge 60 Fusion, Nothing CMF Phone 2 Pro, Redmi Note 14 Pro, Infinix Note 50x, Nothing Phone (2a), and Motorola Edge 50 Neo.
Even the Moto G86, one of the phones announced back in May and is expected to hit shelves in July, is using a MediaTek 7300 chipset. Basically, it all comes down to how much the Moto G96 will cost, something that we'll hopefully find out soon because Motorola is still mum on the matter. Secure your connection now at a bargain price!

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra's battery capacity and primary camera details surface
The Samsung Galaxy S26 series isn't expected to arrive before 2026, but rumors about the lineup have been floating on the internet for some time now, with the latest talk centered around the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra's battery capacity and primary camera. Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra packed a 5,000 mAh battery, and according to GalaxyClub and UniverseIce, that's not changing with the Galaxy S26 Ultra, with the latter claiming that while the battery capacity remains the same, the energy density has been increased, making S26 Ultra's 5,000 mAh battery smaller than the S25 Ultra's. UniverseIce also states that the S26 Ultra could charge faster, but doesn't provide specifics. The S25 Ultra charges at up to 45W. I speculate that the battery of Samsung S26 Ultra has increased energy density, and the 5000mAh battery is smaller in size, but Samsung did not use the extra space to increase the battery, but continued to reduce the thickness of the body. I also think that the charging power of… — PhoneArt (@UniverseIce) July 2, 2025 Regarding the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra's primary camera, GalaxyClub claimed that it will have a 200MP resolution, like the S25 Ultra, but it's unclear whether the camera will use a new sensor. Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra The Galaxy S26 series won't be unveiled before January 2026, so expect to hear more about the lineup in the coming months.

Tecno Camon 40 Premier review
The Tecno Camon 40 Premier sits atop the Camon series, offering premium-like features at an affordable price. Last year's Camon 30 Premier turned out to be an excellent phone, so we have high hopes for the Camon 40 Premier as well. The new Premier comes with an updated chipset, now Dimensity 8350, a display with a higher refresh rate, a nicer build with higher ingress protection and a slightly updated battery. Moreover, the Camon 40 Premier is now promised to receive three major OS upgrades, as opposed to just two last year. Tecno Camon 40 Premier specs at a glance: Body: 161.0x75.0x7.7mm, 210g; plastic back, plastic frame; IP68/IP69 dust tight and water resistant (high pressure water jets; immersible up to 2m for 30 min). 161.0x75.0x7.7mm, 210g; plastic back, plastic frame; IP68/IP69 dust tight and water resistant (high pressure water jets; immersible up to 2m for 30 min).

The newly updated hardware will go nicely with the true and tested one that's borrowed from the Camon 30 Premier. We get the same 50MP triple-camera setup, featuring a 3x optical zoom, and the 50MP selfie unit with autofocus. We don't expect any major changes in image quality, which is fine - the Camon 30 Premier already punched above its weight class in this respect. Even though the Camon 40 Premier shapes up to be an excellent midranger, its limited availability might hurt sales. The Camon 40 series was announced in February during MWC 2025, and we are now well into 2025, yet the phones are still only offered in a handful of markets. In any case, a full review is due, so let's see how the Camon 40 Premier stacks against some of its competitors. Unboxing the Tecno Camon 40 Premier The handset comes in a standard retail box containing the usual user manuals along with a USB-A to USB-C cable for charging and data transfer and a compatible 70W charging brick. There is also a protective case that has a design that is very similar to the phone's own design, so it doesn't conceal Tecno's efforts in that direction. Page 2
