Pura 80 Ultra The largest decline in Chinese smartphone shipments year-over-year during Q2 belonged to vivo. This weakness took vivo out of first place where it was during last year's second quarter and moved it to second behind Huawei. During the quarter, vivo's smartphone shipments dropped 10.1% to 11.9 million units, leaving it with a market share of 17.3% Apple fans are asking, "Where's Apple? Certainly, Apple is next?" But the answer to that is a resounding "NOPE." Actually, Oppo took third place, and the 10.7 million smartphones it delivered during the second quarter were 5% less than it shipped during the same quarter last year. Oppo finished the second quarter with a 15.5% slice of the Chinese smartphone market pie.

So now we are about to divulge which company was the fourth largest smartphone shipper in China during Q2, and we can tell those Apple fans out there that Apple...is not number four. That spot belongs to Xiaomi, a company once known as China's Apple due to the designs of its smartphones that paid homage to Apple's iPhones at the time. Xiaomi was the only firm to hike its smartphone shipments in China during the second quarter, raising the number of units delivered by 3.4% to 10.4 million, giving it a market share of 15.1%.
Lastly, in fifth place after shipping 9.6 million iPhones in China during the June quarter, Apple saw its phone shipments slip 1.3%. That left Apple with a 13.9% market share in China for the second quarter.

Oppo Reno14 FS leaks ahead of launch with specs, images, and pricing
Oppo initially launched the Reno14 and Reno14 Pro in May, then in June they became available outside of China and a new member joined the family: the Reno14 F. Now Oppo is apparently getting ready to expand the lineup even more, with the Reno14 FS which got leaked today. This model is slated to be an upgraded version of the Reno14 F, with more storage and memory. It's said to come with the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 SoC at the helm, paired with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. On the back there's a triple camera system, with a 50 MP main camera using Sony's IMX882 sensor, an 8 MP ultrawide, and a 2 MP macro camera. For selfies you get a 32 MP snapper in a hole-punch in the 6.57-inch AMOLED screen with 120 Hz refresh rate. The Reno14 FS has a 6,000 mAh battery with support for 45W fast wired charging. It weighs 181g and measures 158.16 x 74.9 x 7.7 mm. It will allegedly be priced at €450 in the Eurozone. It's unclear exactly when it will land, but it will be soon.

More details about Huawei's next tri-fold smartphone leak, and it won't be called Mate XT 2
Huawei launched the Mate XT, the first tri-fold smartphone in the world, last September, and we're now only a few weeks away from its one-year anniversary. To mark that occasion, Huawei is rumored to launch a new and improved tri-fold smartphone, that we initially assumed would be called Mate XT 2. Today a new rumor from China claims it will be Mate XTs instead, and that is perhaps more fitting considering that it won't be an entirely reworked device. It's said to come with improved performance from a new chipset, improved cameras, and new colorways. And that's it, everything else will stay identical to the original. Speaking of which, Huawei has allegedly sold more than 500,000 units of the Mate XT since its launch in China, despite its very prohibitive price. The Mate XTs will be offered in white, black, red, and purple, twice as many options as its predecessor had. It is now alleged to arrive in September. Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Source (in Chinese)

Samsung Galaxy Watch8 and Galaxy Watch8 Classic review
Every other year, Samsung is introducing its new top-of-the-line Classic series smartwatches, alongside a modestly upgraded standard Galaxy Watch. But this year, the smartwatch portfolio has been reshuffled in the context of the Galaxy Watch Ultra. Now, the Classic appears to be a complement to the Ultra, serving as a stepping stone between the vanilla and the Ultra, if you wish. Still, Samsung is promising significant improvements over the Galaxy Watch6 Classic. The Classic now adopts the cushion design that the company introduced last year, along with the Dynamic Lug locking system for the straps. It's marketed as both a design and a functional upgrade, since it helps improve the accuracy of the BioActive sensor. To be fair, with the addition of the Quick Button to the rotating bezel, the Classic feels like it's closer to the Ultra. It's still a premium smartwatch. Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic specs at a glance: Body: 46.4x46.0x10.6mm, 64g; Glass front (Sapphire crystal), stainless steel frame; Rotating bezel, MIL-STD-810H compliant*, IP68 dust tight and water resistant (immersible up to 50m/5ATM), ECG certified, Blood pressure monitor, *does not guarantee ruggedness or use in extreme conditions. 46.4x46.0x10.6mm, 64g; Glass front (Sapphire crystal), stainless steel frame; Rotating bezel, MIL-STD-810H compliant*, IP68 dust tight and water resistant (immersible up to 50m/5ATM), ECG certified, Blood pressure monitor, *does not guarantee ruggedness or use in extreme conditions.

Misc: Accelerometer, gyro, heart rate, barometer, altimeter, compass, SpO2, temperature (skin), BioActive, antioxidant index. The Galaxy Watch8 Classic also employs a brighter screen, reaching 3,000 nits, and a more modern, energy-efficient chipset - the Exynos W1000 based on 3nm node. Moreover, the chip can handle some AI tasks, albeit simple, making the Watch8 Classic the first Android smartwatch to offer native support for Gemini AI. Memory gets a huge upgrade, which is a nice bonus since AI requires more storage too, so this year's Classic is fitted with 64GB internal storage. Sports and health aren't neglected in this year's iteration of the Galaxy Watch8 series. Samsung has developed a new personalized running coach, and the BioActive sensor can now measure an antioxidant index and vascular load. Samsung Galaxy Watch8 specs at a glance: Body: 46.0x43.7x8.6mm, 30g; Glass front (Sapphire crystal), aluminum frame; MIL-STD-810H compliant*, IP68 dust tight and water resistant (immersible up to 50m/5ATM), ECG certified, Blood pressure monitor, Armor aluminum 2 frame, *does not guarantee ruggedness or use in extreme conditions. 46.0x43.7x8.6mm, 30g; Glass front (Sapphire crystal), aluminum frame; MIL-STD-810H compliant*, IP68 dust tight and water resistant (immersible up to 50m/5ATM), ECG certified, Blood pressure monitor, Armor aluminum 2 frame, *does not guarantee ruggedness or use in extreme conditions.

Some of the hardware upgrades that we mentioned, however, aren't exactly new to the vanilla Galaxy Watch8. Still, the newer Galaxy Watch offers a brighter display, adopts the new cushion design, it's a lot thinner now and also gets the new health and sports features. With the smartwatch market continuing to expand, Samsung is now facing tougher competition, so let's take a deeper dive and see what's with the new Galaxy Watch8 series. Unboxing the Galaxy Watch8 and Watch8 Classic The two devices come in standard retail packages containing the default straps and chargers.
