OnePlus 13
In terms of specs, the OnePlus 15 is unlikely to hold many surprises. The device is rumored to feature the yet unannounced Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset, which will have the model number SM8850. The premiere of the 8 Elite 2 is expected in September, and the OnePlus 15 might be one of the first devices powered by it.
OnePlus Ace 6 might be the more surprising device. According to the new leak, it'll be powered by a Qualcomm chipset with the model number SM8845. It is unclear which chip that might be, but it's likely the Snapdragon 8s Gen5. That chip might be released alongside the 8 Elite 2 and provide performance just below that of the original Snapdragon 8 Elite.
Whatever its specs are, the OnePlus Ace 6 will likely serve as the base for a OnePlus 15R. The

OnePlus 13 models were. If the company manages to introduce the right improvements, it could be the long-needed strong alternative to Apple and Samsung in the US.

The OnePlus 13R , which was basically the global version of the OnePlus Ace 5, was so good that we called it 'the best flagship-killer' in our review.
That's not the first time we have heard about the upcoming flagship. The OnePlus 15 is rumored to have a few apparent downgrades, compared to last year's. The less obvious one might be the new 6.78-inch 1.5K display, which may replace the 6.82-inch 2K screen of last year's model.More striking might be the potential end of OnePlus' partnership with Hasselblad, which would lead to changes to the cameras. OnePlus is rumored to develop an in-house camera platform with different branding to replace the Hasselblad system. There's a rumor that the phone will have a battery with over 7,000 mAh capacity and 100W wired and wireless charging. Finally, there's a chance we see a OnePlus 15 Pro, though that one might be announced later in 2025.If you're wondering why there's no OnePlus 14 , the company has skipped it. The reason is the Chinese superstition that the number '4' is unlucky because when pronounced in Chinese, it sounds similar to the word for 'death.' That is why theis followed by OnePlus 15.

Infinix Hot 60 Pro unboxing and hands-on
This is the Infinix Hot 60 Pro, and it's the more conventional phone in the new series. While its sibling, the 60 Pro+, is a bit thinner and curvier, the Hot 60 Pro is nearly as thin and light, but has a flat design that some will like better. The regular Hot 60 Pro also has a few hardware advantages over its Pro+ counterpart - you get a dedicated AI assistant button under the volume and power keys, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Curiously, you also get a microSD slot in the Infinix Hot 60 Pro, whereas the Pro+ lacks one. Like the Infinix Hot 60 Pro+, the Pro also comes in two finishes. The matte plastic Black, Silver, Violet, Coral, Blue, and Rose, and the "Scent Weave Leather" Jungle Breath and Orange Rose Valley. The leather-like finishes on the Pro+ and Pro feel and look different. The regular Pro has a shiny effect and less intricate textures. Two finishes to choose from - matte and Scent Weave Leather The display panel is seemingly the same across Hot 60 units - a 6.78-inch 144Hz AMOLED with a 1224x2720px resolution. But, again, the glass on top is different and in this case it's flat. The Infinix Hot 60 Pro ships with a 45W charger, a USB cable, and a hard plastic case. No tempered glass protector here.

Faster charging speeds for some iPhone 17 models hinted at in new photos
With the unveiling of the iPhone 17 series roughly five weeks away, leakster (to coin a term) Majin Bu says that one of his sources has sent him photographs of the iPhone 17 Pro battery inside a stainless steel case. Two different versions of the battery case were revealed. One is for the U.S. market and the other for the Chinese market. The U.S. version has a smaller "L-shaped" cutout compared with the cutout on the Chinese variant of the stainless steel battery case. The Chinese version of the steel battery case also differs from the U.S. version because of its ability to host a SIM tray. Starting with the iPhone 14 series in 2022, new model iPhone units sold in the U.S. are not equipped with a physical SIM tray. The U.S. version of the stainless steel battery case is also wider. Photo of the stainless steel battery case for the U.S. iPhone 17 Pro. | Image credit-Majin Bu Majin Bu notes how the battery case in both variations comes with a welded edge, and Apple will use new adhesives to make replacing the battery easier. The"leakster" also believes that the steel case indicates that the new iPhone 17 Pro models will have a better grip on thermal management for charging at faster speeds. Apple is way behind when it comes to fast charging, especially compared to some of the outrageous charging speeds available on some phones made by Chinese firms such as Xiaomi, vivo, and realme. Photo of the stainless steel battery case for the Chinese version of the iPhone 17 Pro. | Image credit-Majin Bu Some of the fastest charging phones can completely replenish the battery in tens of minutes. Apple, worrying about the cumulative effects of fast charging on the longevity of the battery, and the amount of heat such charging speeds generate, is too conservative when it comes to fast charging. In addition to doing a better job of managing heat dissipation, the stainless steel battery cases are more durable and less prone to puncture than the previously used "soft packs." The latter held the battery cells in a pouch made of a thin, flexible foil-like material and are prone to accidental punctures, which makes it harder to replace the phone's battery. Thus, the new stainless steel cases should make battery replacement easier. The "soft packs" weigh less than the stainless steel battery cases, and takes up less room. But the stainless steel cases are not only more durable, they also do a better job of dissipating heat. Apple first tested the stainless steel battery case with last year's iPhone 16 Pro. The iPhone 16 Pro Max came with a "soft pack" battery case. According to Majin Bu, besides the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, we could see the stainless steel battery case employed on the ultra-slim iPhone 17 Air.
