Oppo Reno 14 likely to launch in India soon, may come powered by Dimensity 8400 chipset
The Oppo Reno 14 series is confirmed to launch in China soon. While the exact date is not confirmed, the Geekbench benchmark listing has revealed a few upcoming specs. According to the listing, the Oppo Reno 14 is most likely to be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 8400 chip. The setup features a primary core running at 3.25GHz, supported by three additional cores clocked at 3GHz and another four cores operating at 2.10GHz. Let's take a look at the details. advertisementOppo Reno 14 series may be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 8400 chipThe upcoming OPPO Reno 14 has surfaced on the Geekbench database under the model number PKZ110, revealing key specifications ahead of its official launch. The benchmark listing shows the device is equipped with 12GB of RAM, with the possibility of additional memory variants being introduced later. It is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8400 SoC, announced in December last year, and features a Mali-G720 MC7 GPU for graphics processing.
The Reno 14's internal setup includes a primary core clocked at 3.25GHz, three performance cores at 3GHz, and four efficiency cores running at 2.10GHz, built on a motherboard carrying the codename k6899v1_64.advertisement
In terms of performance, the smartphone achieves a single-core score of 1,612 and a multi-core score of 6,404 on Geekbench. For comparison, its predecessor, the OPPO Reno 13—powered by the Dimensity 8350—scored 1,256 and 3,958 in the same tests.Oppo Reno 14 series: India launch? China has officially confirmed that the OPPO Reno 14 series will launch this month. However, its arrival in India remains uncertain. Considering the Reno 13 series only made its Indian debut in January 2025, it seems unlikely that its successor would launch so soon.Historically, there has always been a gap between the China and India launches of OPPO's Reno series. For example, the Reno 13 series was introduced in China in November 2024, followed by its Indian release two months later in January 2025.Ultimately, we'll have to wait for OPPO to provide official confirmation on whether the Reno 14 series will be launching in India.Oppo Reno 14: What to expectAlthough OPPO has yet to officially reveal any details, recent rumours and leaks have begun to paint a fairly clear picture of what to expect. Well-known tipster Digital Chat Station has shared two new images on Weibo, which are claimed to showcase the design of the upcoming OPPO Reno 14. The leaked renders offer a detailed look at both the rear and side of the device, highlighting its updated aesthetic and revamped camera layout.advertisementThe camera system adopts an R-shaped configuration housed within a slightly rectangular module. Two lenses are aligned vertically on the left-hand side, while a third sits within a capsule-shaped ring, positioned alongside a triple LED flash. Earlier leaks suggest the Reno 14 will be equipped with a 50-megapixel main sensor featuring optical image stabilisation (OIS), an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera with 3.5x zoom capability. Although the rear render might initially give the impression that the periscope lens is placed above the main camera island, the side view clarifies that it is integrated into the module itself.The overall design bears a strong resemblance to the Reno 13 Pro, indicating that OPPO is focusing on refining the existing look rather than making drastic changes. However, a key difference is the switch to a flat display—a 120Hz OLED panel—replacing the curved screen found on the Reno 13 series.Additionally, the Reno 14 Pro is expected to launch with an IP68/IP69 rating, providing full protection against dust and water. While OPPO has not confirmed any of these specifications, the blend of subtle design evolution and meaningful hardware upgrades suggests the Reno 14 will be a well-rounded update to the series.

iPhone 17e is almost in the trial production stage, tipster says. Here's what we expect
Apple earlier this year launched the iPhone 16e, which serves as the company's affordable iPhone. It is not a particularly budget phone, coming in at ₹59,900 in India, but it still serves as the cheapest iPhone Apple currently has in its line-up. Having said that, Apple was also rumoured to be working on the iPhone 17e. It will, of course, be the successor to the iPhone 16e. Recent reports suggest that Apple may be close to finalising the production. Here is what we know so far regarding the iPhone 17e. Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 17e sometime in the first half of 2026, according to reports. This information comes via tipster Instant Digital on Weibo. The tipster says that the iPhone 17e is almost ready for the trial production stage and that the setup of the iPhone 17e production line is being planned, too. Regarding changes to expect with the iPhone 17e, considering the 'e' line-up is Apple's affordable iPhone range, it makes sense for Apple to launch the iPhone 17e devoid of any flagship features which might cannibalise the mainline iPhones, such as the standard iPhone 17 and the iPhone 17 Pro. We would like Apple to include features like Dynamic Island; if Dynamic Island were present on the 'e' models, it would make for a much more premium experience considering the price at which it retails. So, Dynamic Island is a feature Apple could certainly include. Apart from this, Apple could bring spec refreshes to the iPhone 17e, as has been the tradition. Therefore, it would not be out of the ordinary to expect the iPhone 17e to ship with an Apple A19 chipset. It also remains to be seen if Apple will go with its own in-house modem for the iPhone 17e, because the iPhone 16e reportedly debuted the Apple C1 modem, which is its own in-house 5G modem. Looking beyond the iPhone 17e, it remains to be seen what the launch schedule will be like. The iPhone line-up could be undergoing a major overhaul, with Apple expected to launch the iPhone 18e and iPhone 18 in Spring 2027, compared to a Fall 2026 launch for the mainline iPhone 18 devices.

Xiaomi 16 specs leaked, performance and camera seem to be in focus
It's crazy that we're even talking about the Xiaomi 16 series this early, but that's just how things move in the internet age. Following the recently leaked render of the Xiaomi 16, fresh details have now emerged regarding the phone's specs and features. If you're unaware, we're talking about a phone expected to succeed the Xiaomi 15 — a device that only launched in India a couple of months ago. Even if we consider the Xiaomi 15's original China launch, which happened in October last year, and assume Xiaomi sticks to a similar timeline for the 16 series this year — we're still discussing details of a phone that's at least five months away from becoming to Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the Xiaomi 16 will likely be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chip — the spiritual successor to the current-gen 8 Elite processor. This isn't surprising, considering the Xiaomi 15 runs on the 8 Elite, so it's only logical the next model will move to the next-gen version. Qualcomm is expected to unveil the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 at the company's Snapdragon Summit, which is scheduled to take place between September 23 and 25. That said, Xiaomi has also recently introduced its own in-house chip — the Xring 01 — which currently powers the 15s Pro and Pad 7 Ultra. So, the possibility of the Xiaomi 16 using company's own chip can't be ruled out either. Again, this is purely speculative, and realistically, the Xiaomi 16 will most likely continue with the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 interesting detail is the rumoured battery capacity. Reports suggest that the Xiaomi 16 could pack a battery of over 6,500mAh. Early leaks even hint at the possibility of a 7,000mAh unit under the hood. Following the trend in the industry, this will probably be a silicon carbon battery — something we've started seeing more brands adopt for better energy density and efficiency. In the camera department, the Xiaomi 16 is expected to feature a triple rear camera setup. This includes a 50-megapixel primary sensor (reportedly 1/1.3-inch in size), a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 50-megapixel telephoto camera with macro functionality. The display is also said to be similar to the one on the Xiaomi 15 — a 6.32-inch panel, likely AMOLED with 12-bit colour support and an adaptive 1–120Hz refresh mentioned earlier, if Xiaomi sticks to its usual launch cycle, we can expect the Xiaomi 16, 16 Pro, and 16 Ultra to debut in China sometime in October. As for the Indian launch, it's safe to assume we'll see the Xiaomi 16 series arrive around March 2026. For context, the Xiaomi 15 was launched in India this past March and is currently available in a single 12GB RAM + 512GB storage variant, priced at Rs 64,999.

Oppo K13 Review: Go for Performance
Rating – 3.5/5 Versatility. This is the word that perfectly sums up the Oppo K13 . For the unaware, the K13 is Oppo's latest addition to its mid-range lineup, which bridges the gap between the entry-level A series and the higher-end Reno devices. And Oppo's 'K' series has consistently struck a balance between pocket-friendly pricing and necessary features. Starting at Rs 17,999 (for the 128GB storage variant), the K13 comes with an AMOLED display, a mega battery life with fast charging and just enough horsepower for being a daily driver, along with some casual gaming, plus two years of OS upgrades and three years of security patches. Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Council or Housing Association Tenant? Check Eligibility for Compensation National Disrepair Claims Undo But the real question is—does the Oppo K13 deliver on these promises? More importantly, does it offer enough to justify its price tag? We've spent days using the 256GB storage variant of the Oppo K13 in Prism Black colour (which is priced at Rs 19,999), testing the phone in real-world situations, and here's our take on this mid-range contender. Design & Display When we unboxed the Oppo K13, its balanced design was immediately apparent. The phone features a glass front (protected by AGC DT STAR 2 glass) and a matte-finish plastic back, enclosed by nicely angled rails. It has a nice in-hand feeling, and the weight feels well distributed. The rear panel of the phone houses a vertically stacked, pill-shaped camera module, which is further placed inside a rectangular island that includes the flashlight. The camera bump is not that thick, yet it causes a slight wobble when laid flat, but adding the case provided in the box levels the device. At 8.5 mm thickness and 208 grams, the Oppo K13 strikes a balance between slim profile and sturdy feel. When we used the phone for streaming content, snapping photos, and intense chatting sessions, the weight felt evenly distributed. Flat side rails and gently rounded corners provided a comfortable grip, whether we were scrolling through social media on public transport or following a cooking tutorial in the kitchen. The power button and volume controls sit on the right, making them easy to locate by just feeling them when the phone is in the pocket. The USB-C port, speaker grille and SIM tray that offers dual-SIM and microSD support are placed at the bottom. Turning the phone to its front reveals a 6.67-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display that supports a 120Hz refresh rate. Though the bezels aren't the narrowest, the display offers a balanced viewing area. A centred punch-hole cutout houses the selfie camera. While testing the phone during midday in the sun, the screen's 1200 nits peak brightness was capable enough to make content easily visible even under bright outdoor lights. The in-display fingerprint sensor is responsive and it worked even when our fingers were slightly damp during a drizzle. Watching videos and playing casual games on this AMOLED panel felt pleasing, while the animations and transitions look fluid on this display. The 120 Hz refresh rate also makes scrolling and switching between apps buttery smooth. The Oppo K13 comes with an IP65 dust and water resistant rating. The phone was able to withstand a few accidental splashes without any issues. After an accidental drop from desk height, it showed no signs of dents or bruises, indicating that its build quality can handle everyday bumps and crashes without breaking a sweat. Performance and AI features Powered by the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chipset, which comes paired with 8GB of RAM, the Oppo K13 5G handled our daily workflow without hiccups. We switched between Gmail, Instagram, and browser tabs effortlessly and didn't notice any stutters or reloads, all this while half a dozen background processes kept running without any signs of slowdown. During a packed workday, notifications arrived instantly, and multitasking felt smooth. The K13 also has a RAM Expansion feature that borrows unused storage as virtual memory to keep the tasks running without any fatigue. Gaming on the K13 proved enjoyable for casual sessions. We tested lightweight titles like Subway Surfers and Clash of Clans, which ran without frame drops. Moving on to more demanding games like BGMI and Asphalt 9 Legends, we noticed rare frame dips during extended sessions, but overall gameplay remained fluid. The phone's surface temperature peaked at a comfortable level even after an hour of continuous gaming. Oppo's suite of AI tools that comes with the Android 15-based ColorOS 15 added real-value shortcuts to our routine. The interface is easy to navigate and includes a sidebar that can be customised as per requirement. During a weekend brunch, we used the Smart Text Selector to drag over a menu item on-screen and instantly translate it into English. The Soloop video editor with AI Auto-Cut turned our 10 minutes of holiday footage into a 1-minute highlight reel, with matched background music and smooth transitions—all in under a minute. On the camera front, the AI Scene Enhancement feature recognised subjects in real time—food, greenery, urban scenes—and tweaked saturation and contrast accordingly. While capturing shots of flowers in a garden a dog popped up and we used the AI Eraser to tap and remove it without any problems. For selfies, AI Beauty adjusted lighting and skin tone dynamically, giving us natural-looking results even in indoor lighting. Camera The Oppo K13's camera setup makes for a capable everyday shooter. Its 50 MP primary sensor captured daylight scenes with good detail and accurate colour reproduction. During a walk in the afternoon, we clicked buildings and flowers, and the dynamic range handled bright skies and shaded areas without blown highlights. Video from this rear lens, which can shoot 4K@30 fps, also benefited from gyro-EIS, producing steady footage as we panned across a moving car without noticeable shake. Check out some of the camera samples: For subject separation, the 2MP depth sensor came into play. While taking pictures at a cafe, we switched to Portrait mode and found that edge detection between friends and the background held up well as faces remained sharp and the bokeh effect looked natural. But the photo filters beautified the faces a lot by smudging some of the details. Though there's no dedicated macro lens, the depth sensor still helped isolate close-up shots of food, yielding satisfactory results. Low-light performance on the main camera was decent. Under streetlights, the sensor used Night Mode to boost exposure, pulling out shadow detail without introducing excessive noise. Switching to the ultra-wide also wasn't an option in this phone, since the K13 lacks one, but for most evening shots, the 50MP module proved good enough. On the front, the 16MP selfie camera delivered well-balanced self-portraits. We tested it at dusk on a terrace, and the Super HDR processing kept both faces and the sunset background visible. Selfie videos at 1080p@30 fps with gyro-EIS remained smooth as we recorded a gathering of friends. Battery The Oppo K13's 7,000 mAh battery became the powerhouse behind our daily routine. On a standard workday—filled with email threads, messaging apps, social media scrolls, and a few quick photo edits—we still ended up with enough battery remaining to carry on with the next day. On busier days packed with back-to-back video calls and GPS navigation, the K13 comfortably carried us until bedtime with nearly 30% remaining. We also put the K13's battery life to the test with gaming. An hour-long session of BGMI at medium settings drained roughly 20%. Meanwhile, during a two-hour Netflix binge on a cab ride to Gurugram, saw about a 23% drop While recharging the phone, the 80W wired fast charging proved its worth. From zero, we hit 60% in just 30 minutes, and reached a full 100% under an hour. However, it's important to note that during charging and occasional video calls, the phone's chassis warmed up slightly but that wasn't uncomfortable to hold. Verdict The K13 offers a combination of a vibrant AMOLED display, reliable performance, and long-lasting battery life which turns it into a capable daily driver. Whether we were switching between apps, capturing quick snapshots, or gaming for an hour, the phone handled each task without significant slowdowns or hiccups. Its 7,000 mAh battery and 80W fast charging proved especially valuable, lasting through busy days. The camera system, led by a 50 MP main sensor, produced good enough daylight shots, while the AI-assisted editing tools simplified tasks like removing unwanted objects or translating text in real time. With a starting price of Rs 17,999, the Oppo K13 offers a balanced set of features which are supported by future ready software. If you're in the market for a mid-range 5G phone that covers all the essentials, the Oppo K13 5G can be a worthy recommendation. AI Masterclass for Students. Upskill Young Ones Today!– Join Now
