OnePlus Ace 5 lineup gets two new members
These new smartphones are entirely different in specs and design, but keep the overall tone of the lineup - flagship performance at sub-flagship prices. OnePlus Ace 5 Ultra
The name Ultra is literally translated as "Supreme," and is technically the most powerful Mediatek-equipped OnePlus smartphone – it comes with Dimensity 9400+. Here, we have a 6.83" OLED display with 120 Hz refresh rate and a resolution slightly greater than Full HD+.
The chipset is coupled with 12 GB or 16 GB LPDDR5X RAM and 256 GB, 512 GB, or 1 TB UFS 4.0 storage. They are split into five different memory combinations to cover a wide price spectrum.
The OnePlus Ace 5 Ultra has a modest camera setup: a 50 MP main shooter with an f/1.8 lens, AF and OIS, coupled with an 8 MP ultra-wide-angle shooter with a 112-degree FoV. The front camera is a basic 16 MP shooter sitting behind a punch hole.
The phone comes with a dedicated side button that can be programmed to act as a shortcut to a predetermined set of apps — alarm, torch, Night Mode, translator or AI.
OnePlus equipped the Ultra with a G1 connectivity chip that improves Wi-Fi speed and reliability by 33%, compared with competitors. It also has multi-layered cooling architecture with a 7,300 sq.mm vapor chamber.
The battery of the OnePlus Ace 5 Ultra has 6,700 mAh capacity. It comes with 100W wired charging support and also offers bypass charging. Just 10 minutes on the charger should offer 3 hours of gaming, while 39 minutes should fill the battery from 0 to 100%.
OnePlus Ace 5 Ultra
OnePlus comes in China with Oppo's ColorOS 15 and the in-house AI assistant, which is available only in the domestic market. Its colors are Blue, Black and Titanium Silver (with a cool striped design on the back), and the starting price is CNY2,499 (12/256 GB). The most expensive version is 16 GB RAM + 1 TB storage and costs CNY 3,799. OnePlus Ace 5 Racing
OnePlus Ace 5 Racing comes with a Dimensity 9400e chipset. It has the same RAM and storage options as the Ultra, sans the 1 TB variant.
The cameras on the back are downgraded to 50 MP main and 2 MP B&W sensor. The selfie camera retains its 16 MP sensor.
Ace 5 Racing is built around a 6.77" AMOLED panel with Full HD+ resolution and up to 120 Hz refresh rate.
OnePlus decided not to go with the dedicated G1 connectivity chip but at least brought a sophisticated cooling solution (although not as good as the one on the Ultra), including a 7,000 sq mm vapor chamber.
The Ace 5 Racing excels over the Ultra with battery capacity – it brings the biggest cell in a OnePlus smartphone – 7,100 mAh. It charges at "only" 80W and it comes with bypass charging.
This phone runs with ColorOS 15 and some AI features, like 4K upscaling in videos and erasing objects in photos.
OnePlus Ace 5 Racing
OnePlus Ace 5 Racing is available in White, Black, and Mint Green. Starting price is CNY1,799 for 12/256 GB.
We don't expect this phone to launch outside China, but we would love to be surprised by OnePlus and Oppo.

iPhone 17 Pro could mark the return of metal-back phones, leaked images suggest
The iPhone 17 series is just around the corner—we're less than a month away from the alleged official launch on September 9th. And even though we've had a ton of leaks and rumors, this one confirms one feature (or the lack of it) that won't please the fans. It seems that the rumors about Apple abandoning titanium on the iPhone 17 Pro are true. A leak straight from iPhone 17 's production line (allegedly) shows the all-aluminum chassis of the model. The leak comes from the Korean website Never, where a supply chain insider with the tag "yuex1122" shared photos of the iPhone 17 Pro. These images corroborated the earlier rumors that Apple is planning to drop titanium from the Pro model. Another interesting thing we see in these photos is that the chassis wraps around the back with cutouts for the cameras and the MagSafe wireless charging coils. This could mean that the back material this year might also change and involve some kind of coating and not glass. If true, this could see the return of metal phones and mark the beginning of a change from the glass sandwich design that has dominated the industry in the past decade. Of course, as with all leaks and rumors, we should take this one with the proverbial grain of images could potentially be dummies or metal molds for dummies or even cases, so don't get your hopes high if you like metal phones. The last metal-back iPhone was the iPhone 7 series, which debuted almost 10 years ago, back in 2016. Apple still hasn't officially confirmed the launch window for the iPhone 17 series, but if we extrapolate from previous years and follow the recent rumors, the event is expected to take place on September 9th, with pre-orders starting on September 12th and widespread market availability on September 19th.

iPhone 17 Pro rear camera module design revealed by dbrand
Apple's iPhone 17 lineup is expected to launch next month. While we wait for Apple to officially confirm the September 9 announcement, case maker dbrand has gone ahead and revealed the design of the iPhone 17 Pro in the images of its new case. The iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max are getting a new rear camera module design. We've seen plenty of leaked renders of the new design, but with case makers getting exact dimensions in advance it's good to get some extra assurance. Now dbrand listed images of its upcoming Tank case for the iPhone 17 Pro, showcasing the design of the new iPhone. The case appears bulky and doesn't give away fine design details, but those aren't available to case makers anyway. It does show a raised portion at the top around the camera, clearly confirming the new island. The Camera Control button, Action button, Power, and volume buttons are also visible. The Tank case from dbrand will be available for the iPhone 17 series in September. Apple iPhone 16 Pro Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and the 17 Pro Max on September 9. Source

vivo V60 hands-on
Sagar, 15 August 2025 vivo introduced the vivo V60 a few days ago at an event in New Delhi, India, as a successor to the vivo V50 that was unveiled in February. We got our hands on one, so let's see what vivo's latest mid-ranger has to offer. The vivo V60's retail box looks similar to the V50's, and it comes with a SIM ejector tool, some documents, a charging cable, a power adapter, and a black-colored protective case. vivo V50 128GB 8GB RAM ₹ 32,999 ₹ 32,999 256GB 8GB RAM ₹ 34,999 On the front is a 6.77" 120Hz FullHD+ quad-curved AMOLED screen, which can display 1.07 billion colors and has HDR10+ support. The display is now protected by Schott Xensation Core glass and is brighter than the V50's panel since it has a max global brightness of 1,500 nits, while peak brightness reaches 5,000 nits. The V60's display has a centered punch-hole for the 50MP selfie camera co-developed with ZEISS. vivo didn't share its sensor name, but revealed the camera has an FOV of 92˚ and enables selfie capture at 0.8x magnification for group selfies. It can also record videos in 4K resolution at 30 fps, like the primary camera does. Underneath the V60's display is an optical fingerprint scanner for biometric authentication. It was quick to set up, and we found it to be fast and accurate in the short time we spent with the smartphone. However, we would have liked it to be placed a bit higher for better reachability and a more convenient phone-unlocking experience. Turn the vivo V60 around, and you'll see three cameras instead of the two we had on the V50 with a different camera island design. The V50 featured a 50MP primary and a 50MP ultrawide camera on the rear, whereas the V60 sports a 50MP primary, a 50MP periscope telephoto, and an 8MP ultrawide camera (120˚ FOV). The vivo V60's rear cameras are also co-developed with ZEISS. The 50MP primary camera - having OIS - uses the Sony IMX766 sensor, whereas the 50MP periscope telephoto unit, also having OIS, uses the Sony IMX882 sensor. It's the same sensor used by vivo for the X200's periscope telephoto unit. It offers up to 3x optical zoom and up to 100x digital zoom. vivo X200 256GB 12GB RAM $ 1,032.00 $ 1,032.00 512GB 16GB RAM ₹ 59,999 It's also worth mentioning that vivo went with an M-shaped arrangement for the V60's telephoto camera - like it did on the X200 FE - instead of an L-shaped setup to ensure the camera island doesn't protrude much. After all, it's already big enough to make the V60 wobble when used on a flat surface. vivo didn't tell us what sensor it used for the ultrawide camera. vivo X200 FE 5G 256GB 12GB RAM € 799.00 € 799.00 512GB 12GB RAM ₹ 59,999 The rear cameras on the vivo V60 are accompanied by a circular flashlight called Aura Light. It can change its color temperature and intensity to let you take pictures in different conditions, and you can set it to auto or adjust it manually. Like the V50, the V60 also comes with ZEISS bokeh effects, but now supports five focal lengths for portraits - 23mm (1x), 35mm (1.5x), 50mm (2.2x), 85mm (3.7x), and 100mm (4.3x). And while the V50 came with an India-exclusive Wedding Portrait Studio feature, the V60 comes with an India-exclusive Wedding vLog feature. vivo says it can be accessed through the Micro Movie setting in the default Camera app, but we couldn't find it on our Indian model. What you also get with the vivo V60 is the 10x Telephoto Stage Portrait, which, as evident from the name, is meant to capture people on stage at concerts and similar events. vivo says it "keeps facial features and clothing details sharp while maintaining natural skin tones" even at 10x zoom. In case you are wondering why 10x zoom, vivo said that 98% of their users zoom within the range of 10x, "making it a perfect sweet spot for everyday telephoto photography." Another camera feature the vivo V60 has that the V50 didn't is the AI Four Season Portrait that we previously saw on the X200 FE. It lets you add virtual elements to your portraits to create seasonal vibes of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. That said, the back cover of the vivo V60, which houses the three cameras, is covered with a glass or plastic composite sheet, depending on the model you get. The smartphone comes in Mist Gray, Auspicious Gold, and Moonlit Blue colorways, with the third one being the subject of this hands-on. The vivo V60's Moonlit Blue model is the thickest and heaviest amongst the three versions, with a thickness of 7.75mm and a weight of 201 g. Its back cover is made of glass, just like the Auspicious Gold model, while the Mist Gray version's rear panel is made of plastic composite sheet, making it the thinnest and lightest among the three colorways. The vivo V60's Moonlit Blue version is the most unique-looking model among the three colorways. It has a nice in-hand feel, and its rear panel didn't get smudged during the time we spent with it. However, the author of this article would've preferred the back cover with a bit of a curvature for a more comfortable in-hand feel. The V60's plastic frames are shiny and slightly curved. On the phone's right-side frame is the volume rocker and power button, and at the bottom is the USB-C port, flanked by a speaker grille, primary microphone, and a SIM card slot. Up top is the IR blaster, joined by the secondary mic. Ports and controls The vivo V60 is powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 SoC and has up to 16GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 512GB of UFS 2.2 storage onboard. The smartphone boots Android 15 with Funtouch OS 15 on top and comes with the promise of four years of OS upgrades and six years of security updates. This is not only more than what vivo promised for the V50 (3 years of OS upgrades + 4 years of security updates), but also more than what vivo's recent X series smartphones get (4 years of OS upgrades + 5 years of security updates). That's impressive! The software experience is similar to what you get with the X200 FE running Funtouch OS 15, and the bloatware has been kept to a minimum. Our Indian vivo V60 came with about half a dozen pre-installed third-party apps, which can all be uninstalled if you want. The vivo V60 is fueled by a 6,500 mAh Si/C battery with 90W wired charging support. The rest of the vivo V60's highlights include dual stereo speakers, NFC, IP68 and IP69 ratings, and underwater photography support. The vivo V60 will go on sale in India starting August 19 with a base price of INR36,999 ($420/€360). We'll begin working on our vivo V60 review soon, so stay tuned to find out if it's worth your money.
