Oppo and Hasselblad extend partnership, will develop new imaging system
Olivella Liu, Oppo Overseas CMO and Bronius Rudnickas, Hasselblad Global Marketing Manager
While Oppo did not share any specific details about the upcoming imaging system, the brand is confident that it will 'set a new benchmark for the quality of mobile imaging'.
The partnership with Hasselblad is built on a shared passion for innovation and a commitment to delivering the ultimate imaging experience.
Over the past four years, we have brought the truly professional, legendary camera experience of Hasselblad to Oppo's global users.
With the extension of our collaboration, we will push the boundaries of mobile imaging even further. - Pete Lau, Chief Product Officer at Oppo.
Oppo and Hasselblad's imaging partnership dates back to the Oppo Find X5 series. Oppo's flagship phones featured several camera enhancements, including Hasselblad color science and Hasselblad Portrait Mode, which simulates classic Hasselblad lenses.
Oppo also added a professional Hasselblad Master Mode, which takes inspiration from the brand's flagship mirrorless medium format camera – the Hasselblad X2D. Oppo flagships have also benefited from the Hasselblad XPan mode, which recreates the signature 65:24 wide aspect ratio for images.

Slim phones with 10,000 mAh batteries are possible, but may be a bad idea
If there's one shared grievance among all smartphone users, it would likely be something related to the battery. Regardless of the brand you use, chances are you'd like your phone to have a bigger, longer-lasting, and faster-charging battery. That's true for me, my friends and family, and the vast majority of people who take the time to answer our polls and participate in our discussions. Given all that, it's no surprise that whenever a smartphone with a giant battery makes the news, people get at least intrigued, if not outright excited. That's also the reason the recent rumor of a phone the size of a Galaxy S25 Ultra, but with a 10,000 mAh battery, may sound like a dream coming true. I hate being a killjoy, but if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is for a reason. I won't say that silicon batteries are a scam, but there's definitely a catch, which is why some of the biggest smartphone companies in the world avoid them. Recently, we've seen a few Chinese manufacturers adopting silicon-carbon batteries with much higher capacities than traditional cells. Among the latest examples are the Honor X70 and Oppo K13, featuring 8,300 mAh and 7,000 mAh batteries, numbers are possible thanks to the updated technology of the lithium-ion batteries. In silicon-carbon batteries, the graphite anode is infused with silicone, allowing it to store more energy in the same space. In theory, the difference can reach ten times, which makes silicon batteries have a much higher energy density. The Honor X70 has an 8,300 mAh battery | Image credit — Honor Simply put, you get much higher capacity for a battery of the same size, which allows slim phones and foldables to have better batteries. That's the reason the Honor Magic V and Oppo Find N5 have larger batteries, despite being thinner than the Galaxy S25 Ultra . However, that achievement comes with its own problems, which are the likely reason we won't be seeing more of those batteries anytime soon. You might have heard that there are limitations for flying with lithium-ion batteries. While the whole battery shouldn't exceed 100 Wh, there's also a 20 Wh limitation for each individual cell. If a battery exceeds that limit, it has to be treated as a dangerous good, and it wouldn't be easily allowed on airplanes. Unlike the US regulators, we usually measure the capacity of smartphone batteries in mAh. That can easily be converted to Wh, and @UniverseIce has recently done the math for some of the most popular smartphones. Here are their capacities in Wh and mAh: You might wonder how the OnePlus 13 manages to pack a 6,000 mAh battery and pass regulatory checks. After all, its capacity puts it above the 20 Wh limit. The answer is simple and obvious in the notes on the official OnePlus 13 specs page – it adopts a dual-cell design, so each individual cell has a capacity of 3,000 multi-cell design is also the reason you can carry your laptops and tablets on airplanes without labeling them 'dangerous goods.' But that's not the only challenge with silicon-carbon batteries. Even if the major manufacturers follow OnePlus' example and decide to go the multi-cell way, that won't solve all issues. One of the greatest challenges that pure silicon batteries face is extreme expansion. When completely charged, the structure of a fully silicon battery can swell up to 300%, which would put mechanical stress on the battery and affect its functioning. I mean, have you ever seen a swollen battery and not worried? I haven't! Manufacturers limit the expansion by using a silicon-carbon composite instead of pure silicon. Adding carbon helps the structural integrity, reduces swelling, and helps with other issues. For example, the low electrical conductivity of silicon can slow down charging and lead to the production of more heat, but carbon reduces these effects. Phones with best battery life in 2025: Independent test results Essentially, the more silicon in a battery, the bigger its capacity, but the lower the longevity. The good news is that companies are working on ways to solve those issues and improve our phones' batteries. The bad news is that it'll probably take a while before we can see the results on our smartphones.I'm all in for a battery tech breakthrough that would make my phone last forever, but that's only part of the equation. More efficient chipsets and improved energy management have already boosted battery life. The next step might simply be using current tech in smarter it's all about making a choice. On the one hand are big batteries, which may not retain much of their capacity for more than a couple of years, but will last longer during that time. On the other hand are the smaller batteries, that might need a charge more often, but will likely keep their capacity for all 7 years of software updates we get with modern choice Apple, Samsung, and Google appear to be making is a combination of safety and longevity, while some Chinese brands opt for flashy specs. I am with the giants in that regard, but I like that we finally have a different choice. Switch to Total Wireless and buy 2 months of a 5G Unlimited plan to score the phone free!

Samsung's One UI 8 Now Bar will be getting a major boost by the end of the year
Part of this expansion could be helped by Receive the latest Samsung news Subscribe By subscribing you agree to our terms and conditions and privacy policy One UI 7 .0, you could only view Now Bar cards on the cover screen, but trying to interact with them would open the app or its widget. With One UI 8 , the Now Bar works the same way on both the cover and main screen, letting users interact with those cards directly from the outside display. That's a big improvement for those who like using their phone one-handed or while it's folded. Even though we don't yet know which apps will be added, it's a sign that Samsung wants to make Now Bar a bigger part of the Galaxy experience. If Samsung also decides to use Android's built-in live updates feature, it could make the Now Bar even more powerful and useful—not just for Samsung apps, but for all kinds of services. Part of this expansion could be helped by Android 16 , which includes a new tool for developers. This tool, called a standardized API, allows apps to show live updates—like a delivery or media playback—on the lock screen and status bar. Samsung's current version of One UI 8 doesn't yet use this system, but if it does in the future, it could open up Now Bar support to even more also a new improvement coming to Galaxy Z Flip phones.

It shows this information in a row of cards, which Samsung calls the Now biggest issue with Now Bar so far has been limited support, as only a small number of apps work with it, and most of them are made by Samsung. However, according to the official "Device Experience Guide" for the Galaxy Z Flip 7 , that's about to change. Right now, 20 apps support the Now Bar, but by the end of 2025, that number will grow to 35. Samsung didn't name the new apps, but it's clear the company wants to bring this feature to more parts of the phone experience.
