Huawei's comeback continues as it reaches a goal for the first time in over four years

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.

Leaked image shows off new iPhone 17 Pro colors, including the orange option
*Image credit — Majin Bu Apple is said to be experimenting with bolder colors on top of the exterior redesign for the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max. A new image that has just surfaced gives us a look at some of these colors in a real-world environment, including the spiritual successor to Desert Titanium: an orange shade. Four of the possible new colors for the iPhone 17 Pro. | Image credit — Majin Bu The new colors shown in the image include a Titanium Gray, which is reportedly an option that Apple is considering but hasn't finalized yet. Alongside that, there is a really dark color that appears to be black, but the text next to it says that it's blue. It is, kind of. Perhaps Apple will name it Midnight Blue or something similar. The previously leaked orange color is also present, which is a sort of fierier Desert Titanium. In my opinion, it looked a lot better in fan-made renders than it does in real life. Lastly, we can also see a silver option, but orange isn't the only bold choice that Apple is considering this year for the iPhone 17 Pro. Because, not pictured here is a rumored Liquid Glass color option, which takes inspiration from the UI overhaul in iOS 26. According to reports, this new color will reflect differently under various lighting conditions, though it will mostly be a white hue. I think that sounds quite fun, and I'd wager that it will look a lot prettier than the new orange shade. Ultramarine on the iPhone 16 is a stunningly pretty color as well. | Video credit — Apple Of course, aside from new color options, the image shows off the redesigned rear camera island on the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max. The iPhone 17 Air will also feature an elongated camera island, though it will be a lot slimmer, and will heavily resemble the Google Pixel 9. If this new design isn't to your liking, however, then the base iPhone 17 will serve you just fine while looking like the base iPhone 16 . Now, all that remains to be seen is whether Samsung will also opt for bolder colors for the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Because, let's be honest, even the online exclusive colors for the Galaxy S25 Ultra look relatively muted.

Realme 15 Pro hands-on review

Buy at Samsung Huawei Pura 80 Ultra vs Galaxy S25 Ultra Camera Specs: While we don't like focusing on numbers alone, we have to mention that Huawei includes some truly stunning hardware. The 1-inch main camera sensor is much bigger than the 1/1.3-inch sensor on the Galaxy, and Huawei still uses its own RYYB sensor with that special color filter that promises incredible dynamic range of 16 stops. But the real star of the show is the world's first switchable dual telephoto camera. You get 3.7x lens and a 10x lens both based on one big 1/1.28-inch sensor. This is the biggest sensor used on a telephoto lens so far! Huawei has achieves this with some incredibly clever engineering: you have a built-in light-blocking mechanism driven by a tiny motor.

You can even hear the motor switching between lenses (Huawei says it is very reliable, having passed 180,000 tests).
