OnePlus 15 to be very, very black
But that's not all. Apparently, OnePlus is testing a "SuperBlack" colorway, which will be the blackest black we've ever seen on a smartphone, so black in fact that it will resemble a black hole. According to tipsters who have seen the prototype, it's "far better looking than imagined", for what it's worth. OnePlus 13
The OnePlus 15's 6.78-inch display will get a resolution downgrade to "1.5K", but might boast a higher refresh rate, and will come with extremely tiny and symmetrical bezels on all sides. They will be significantly smaller than on the OnePlus 13. The phone also has "upgraded multi-function buttons", whatever that means, and the display's quality is said to be excellent despite the lower resolution, with amazing brightness and detail levels and lower power consumption.
As you may have gathered, OnePlus is skipping the number 14 due to the presence of "4" which is considered bad luck in Chinese culture. The OnePlus 15 will be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, which is getting official in late September. It's expected to sport a 7,000 mAh battery and a triple rear camera system with a 50 MP main snapper and a periscope zoom camera as well.

Infinix Hot 60 Pro+ review
Infinix continues to push its affordable Hot series forward with the latest addition - the Hot 60 Pro+. Designed to appeal to budget-conscious buyers without compromising on style or essentials, the new model refines the formula laid out by its predecessors while maintaining the spirit of the lineup - accessible smartphones that look and feel more premium than their price tag suggests. The Hot series has long been Infinix's answer to entry-level smartphone needs, and the Hot 60 Pro+ carries that mission confidently. Priced at $199, it sits comfortably in the lower end of the market, yet its presentation and spec sheet tell a more ambitious story. The phone is impressively thin and lightweight for its class, and the selection of vibrant colorways - some even with a shimmering finish - ensures it won't go unnoticed. Infinix Hot 60 Pro+ specs at a glance: Body: 164.0x75.8x6.0mm, 155g; Glass front (Gorilla Glass 7i), plastic back, plastic frame; IP65 dust tight and water resistant (low pressure water jets), Drop resistant up to 1.5m. 164.0x75.8x6.0mm, 155g; Glass front (Gorilla Glass 7i), plastic back, plastic frame; IP65 dust tight and water resistant (low pressure water jets), Drop resistant up to 1.5m.

The Hot 60 Pro+ shares much of its hardware DNA with the Tecno Spark 40 Pro+, which is hardly surprising given that both Infinix and Tecno fall under the Transsion Holdings umbrella. This kind of cross-brand overlap is not unusual and often helps deliver solid value at a low price point. Let's take a closer look at what the Hot 60 Pro+ brings to the table. Unboxing The Infinix Hot 60 Pro+ comes in a thick cardboard two-piece box. It is colored in two shades of green and tends to stand out on a shelf. The packaging appears to be entirely made of cardboard, which is eco-friendly. Even so, there is a cradle for the actual phone on the inside, keeping it safe in transit. Infinix doesn't skimp when it comes to the accessory package. You get a 45W Infinix-branded USB Type-A fast charger in the box and a nice thick USB Type-A to Type-C cable to go along with it. The cable appears to be standard and not proprietary with extra pins, which is a nice little bonus since you don't necessarily have to worry about keeping it safe. Beyond that, there is also a transparent hard snap-on shell-style case in the box and a tempered glass screen protector, plus all of the accessories needed to properly install it on the phone. Page 2

iPhone 17 Air's chipset detailed
Vlad, 12 August 2025 The iPhone 17 family is rumored to be launching on September 9. Ahead of that, there have been countless rumors telling us that the iPhone 17 Air will replace the iPhone 16 Plus in Apple's roster, due to the latter's lackluster sales performance. But this leaves a mystery regarding which chipset the Air will go with. Will it be a Pro SoC or not? Apple's Pro iPhones obviously use the Pro chipset, but the Air is not a Pro, so will it have the same chip as the vanilla iPhone 17? A new rumor out of China says no to that, revealing that in fact the Air will use the A19 Pro SoC. But there's a small catch. It won't be exactly the same A19 Pro chip that will feature in the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max. Instead, the Air's version will have a lesser GPU, with one less core. That's the only difference. So while the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max's A19 Pro will come with six GPU cores, the iPhone 17 Air's will have just five. The iPhone 17 Air's screen will also reportedly not be quite at the level of the iPhone 17 Pro's, according to the same source. The Air is now rumored to be 5.65mm to 5.7mm thick. This rumor contradicts a previous one from July, which claimed the iPhone 17 Air would be equipped with the A19 chip just like the iPhone 17. Obviously, we can't be sure which one is accurate.

The exceptionally well-equipped OnePlus Watch 3 is a brilliant bargain right now in both sizes
Deemed "the smartwatch you should get in 2025" at the very beginning of the year in our original review, the OnePlus Watch 3 is undeniably more versatile than ever before and arguably more appealing than ever at a rare $30 discount in two different versions. You've got the older model, available in a 46mm size in Emerald Titanium and Obsidian Titanium colorways, and the recently released 43mm variant coated in Silver Steel and Black Steel, and unlike during other promotional periods on the official OnePlus US website, you don't need to trade anything in right now to save the aforementioned 30 bucks on the unit you prefer out of that roster. $30 off (10%) Wear OS Smartwatch, GPS, Bluetooth, 1.32-Inch AMOLED Display with 466 x 466 Pixel Resolution, Stainless Steel Case, Up to 60 Hours of Battery Life (Seven Days in Power Saver Mode), Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 Processor, 32GB Storage, 2GB RAM, Heart Rate Monitor, Blood Oxygen Sensor, Sleep Tracking, IP68 Water and Dust Resistance, Two Color Options Buy at OnePlus $30 off (9%) Wear OS Smartwatch, GPS, Bluetooth, 46mm Case, 1.5-Inch AMOLED Display with 466 x 466 Pixel Resolution, Sapphire Crystal, Stainless Steel Case, Titanium Alloy Bezel, Up to Five Days of Battery Life (16 Days in Power Saver Mode), Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 Processor, 32GB Storage, 2GB RAM, Heart Rate Monitor, Blood Oxygen Sensor, Sleep Tracking, Wrist Temperature Sensor, IP68 Water and Dust Resistance, Two Color Options Buy at OnePlus The smaller and younger edition, mind you, is also cheaper, normally costing $299.99, while the larger device is typically priced at $349.99. That means that you're looking at paying as little as $269.99 and no more than $319.99 if you hurry for an objectively handsome, powerful, and reliable Apple Watch Series 10 alternative compatible with Android smartphones and Android smartphones only. Because it doesn't work with iPhones, the OnePlus Watch 3 has the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 and Galaxy Watch Ultra as its main rivals rather than the industry-leading Apple Watch portfolio, and compared to... pretty much all its "mainstream" alternatives, this bad boy holds a major advantage in the battery life department. The smaller OnePlus Watch 3 is a little humbler, cheaper, and for some buyers, more appealing than the large variant. | Image Credit -- OnePlus With "power saver" features enabled, you're looking at endurance scores between charges of up to seven days as far as the 43mm OnePlus Watch 3 is concerned and no less than 16 days (!!!) for the 46mm variant, which is essentially unheard of outside the rugged smartwatch category. The AMOLED touchscreen is remarkably sharp and bright on both OnePlus Watch 3 versions, the health monitoring arsenal virtually unrivaled for the sub-$350 and sub-$300 price brackets, and the rotating crown (although far from original) clearly enhances the user experience and convenience, making this Wear OS soldier hard to beat... at its latest and greatest discount. Just don't wait too long or the killer new deal may well go away.
