Here's the Ulefone RugKing with a 9,600 mAh battery, glare flashlight, and 126 dB speaker
Ulefone will launch a new rugged smartphone called Ulefone RugKing next week. The brand hasn't officially divulged anything about it yet, but we've received the images, specs, and pricing information of the RugKing from a reliable source, telling us what to expect from this rugged smartphone.
The Ulefone RugKing will have the Unisoc T7255 SoC at the helm with 8GB of LDDR4X RAM and 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage, expandable by up to 2TB via a microSD card having a dedicated slot. The smartphone will boot Android 15, but it's unclear how many years of software updates it will receive.
The Ulefone RugKing will pack a 5.99" HD+ LCD with a 60Hz screen refresh rate and 910 nits peak brightness. Under the hood will be a 9,600 mAh battery having 18W charging support, which is pretty low considering the battery capacity.
For photography, the Ulefone RugKing will come with three cameras - 50MP primary (Samsung ISOCELL S5KJN1), 2MP macro (OmniVision OV02A10), and 8MP selfie (Samsung ISOCELL 4H8).

The smartphone will also feature a speaker on its rear with a maximum loudness of 126 dB. Additionally, it will have a glare flashlight, located on the top. The rest of the Ulefone RugKing's highlights include a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, a customizable key located on the left side frame, IP68 and IP69K ratings, and MIL-STD-810H certification. It will also come with NFC and dock charging.
The Ulefone RugKing will be 18.3mm thick, weigh 397 g, and come in a single black color. We are told it will be available for purchase in September through AliExpress for $149.99 (€130/INR13,145).

Poco M7 Pro 5G review
The Redmi Note 14 models must be the most popular choice in the mid-range for their thoughtful segmentation and attractive pricing. And a while ago, Poco also launched its own interpretation of one particular Redmi - the Note 14 5G. Meet the Poco M7 Pro 5G. The Poco M7 Pro 5G is essentially identical to the Redmi Note 14 5G except for the design and the rear camera setup. Poco has always been keen on eye-catchy designs and the dual tone back panel on the back of the M7 Pro 5G is quite nice. You can get it in Lavender Frost, Lunar Dust, Olive Twilight, and there is a limited Classic Black version in some markets. The Poco is IP64-rated for dust and splash resistance. The Poco M7 Pro 5G has a 6.67-inch AMOLED with 1080p resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and support for HDR10+ streaming. It is protected by Gorilla Glass 5. The phone runs on the Dimensity 7025 5G chip that packs decent processor power but has a rather basic GPU. The starter version of the Poco M7 Pro 5G has 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. The only technical differences between this Poco and its Redmi counterpart are in the camera department. The Poco has a 50MP primary with OIS, a 2MP depth sensor, and a 20MP selfie imager. The Redmi had a 108MP main camera and an additional 8MP ultrawide shooter, which is now gone. The M7 Pro is powered by a 5,110mAh with 45W fast charging. It boots Android 14 with HyperOS 1. Xiaomi Poco M7 Pro 5G specs at a glance: Body: 162.4x75.7x8.0mm, 190g; Glass front (Gorilla Glass 5), plastic back, plastic frame; IP64 dust-tight and water-resistant (water splashes). 162.4x75.7x8.0mm, 190g; Glass front (Gorilla Glass 5), plastic back, plastic frame; IP64 dust-tight and water-resistant (water splashes).

Misc: Fingerprint reader (under display, optical); stereo speakers (with Dolby Atmos); Virtual proximity sensing. The Poco M7 Pro 5G seems like a good deal with an all-around specs sheet. We would have liked to see it boot Android 15 or at least get a more powerful GPU, though. Unboxing the Poco M7 Pro 5G The Poco M7 Pro has a well-stacked retail bundle. It ships together with a 45W charger, a USB cable, and a dark gray protective case. The Poco also comes with a thin protective film already atop its screen. The bundle varies by market, though, and the EU box does not contain a charger. Page 2

The most boring Ultra phone of 2025 crushed all its rivals in sales
This year might as well be the year of the "Ultra" phone, given how great and exciting Android phones with the respectable "Ultra" suffix have been released in 2025. We got the Galaxy S25 Ultra, the Vivo X200 Ultra, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, and the Oppo Find X8 Ultra. What a respectable selection of heavy-hitters indeed! I've used or at least played around with each one of those phones, and all these phones are definitely up for contention for the "best phone of the year" title. Yes, even with the Pixel 10 and iPhone 17 series unreleased, it's doubtful any of them would be able to match the Ultra phones, methinks. One of these phones is arguably the most mundane and boring, and that's certainly the Galaxy S25 Ultra . It has a great camera, but the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, the Vivo X200 Ultra, and the Oppo Find X8 Ultra certainly beat it in terms of hardware. Many of these phones have exceptional 1-inch main camera sensors, which certainly matters when it comes to raw optical image quality. Camera software features are also more intriguing on either one of the Galaxy S25 Ultra 's rivals. In terms of battery, the Samsung flagship takes another "L," dragging its feet at the back with its fairly minuscule 5,000 mAh battery when the norm is a 6,000 mAh Silicon-Carbon battery at the minimum. There's also the financial aspect: the Galaxy S25 Ultra is slightly pricier than some of its Ultra rivals (except for the Xiaomi 15 Ultra). Yet, a few weeks ago, famed tipster Ice Universe hinted that the Galaxy S25 Ultra has easily outsold all of its more exciting rivals at least eightfold. The tipster revealed Samsung had sold 8.4 million units by the end of June 2025. The competition wasn't doing as well, it seems. Any of the other flagships sold less: the Xiaomi 15 Ultra with a little over half a million units, the Vivo X200 Ultra some 219,000 units, and the Oppo Find X8 Ultra last with 210,000 units. *-all figures rumored and approximate Total and utter dominance by the Samsung phone, which easily positions itself as the de facto choice for high-end "knock-it-out-of-the-park" Android flagships this year. So, why does the Galaxy S25 Ultra sell so well when it's arguably the least exciting Ultra phone out there? Yes, the reasons that the Galaxy S25 Ultra sells so well are numerous and immediately obvious. I think there are a few of them. Firstly, it's the exceptionally strong brand name that Samsung holds pretty much everywhere across the world. After Apple, it's Samsung that holds the most brand power in the world of smartphones. Secondly, it's the global availability that plays possibly the biggest role here. The Galaxy S25 Ultra is available in all global markets that matter. Its competitors? Sadly, it's only the Xiaomi 15 Ultra that sells in other global markets than China, while the Oppo and the Vivo are pretty much intended for the internal Chinese market only. They don't even have proper global software, making it a real pain to use anywhere outside the Middle Kingdom. Next up, we have Samsung's reliability and pledge for long software support. Seven years? That's a whole eternity in the world of tech, and none of the other Ultra phones can boast a similar long support window. The dependability of the software is yet another major reason why the Galaxy S25 Ultra is such a hit. In the early days of Android, there was a lot of variety in terms of manufacturers, devices, and Android interfaces. Yet, as the market matured and many of those dropped out of the race, it's Samsung that easily positioned itself as the undisputed leader of the Android world. In fact, for most people, One UI might as well be the face of Android. So, at the end of the day, Samsung hit it out of the park. The arguably more interesting rivals of its Galaxy S25 Ultra superphone failed to beat it in the most important aspect for any business, the bottom line.

Another Pixel 10 leak and the blackest OnePlus ever, Week 33 in review
Ivan, 17 August 2025 Another week, another couple of Pixel 10 renders leaked. It's not long now, the Pixel 10 series will be announced next week! The latest set of renders shows off the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL in all their colors. The pixel 10 is the most colorful with Light Blue (Frost), Blue (Indigo), Yellow (Limoncello), and Black (Obsidian) colors. The Pro Xl will have a Green (Jade) alongside the Grey (Moonstone), Black (Obsidian), and White (Porcelain). The 10 Pro will come in Grey (Moonstone), Black (Obsidian) and White (Porcelain). The EPREL database revealed details about the Galaxy S25 FE, Tab S11, Tab S11 Ultra and Tab S10 Lite. The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE (SM-S731B/DS) has a battery that lasts 42:37h on a single charge and is rated for 2,000 charge cycles. Compared to the S24 FE, that's only 37m longer. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 and Tab S11 Ultra's batteries were rated at 81:01h and 94:51h, respectively. For comparison, the Tab S10+ got 73h 44m and the Tab S10 Ultra is rated for 85:18h. There's one more, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Lite. This one will last 87:42h on a single charge, and its battery is rated for 2,000 charge cycles, unlike its pricier siblings. 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. Our best look at the Pixel 10, 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL to date. And other details too. The Tab S11 batteries, for example, will last longer on a single charge but are rated for fewer charge cycles than the Tab S10+ and Tab S10 Ultra. More details about the upcoming flagship device have been leaked in China. The Air will be closer to the Pro than you may have expected. Poco launched the M7 Plus 5G with a massive 7,000mAh silicon-carbon battery and 33W charging (and 18W reverse charging). The M7 Plus 5G is a big phone with a 6.9-inch FHD+ IPS LCD with a 144Hz refresh rate. The phone has a Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 with up to 8GB of RAM. The phone is going on sale on August 19 with prices starting at INR 13,999 ($160). Samsung's latest entry-level 5G smartphone is looking good. The M7 Plus is powered by the Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 SoC. Some leaked screen protectors showcased the size difference in the upcoming iPhone 17 lineup. The iPhone 17's display will grow to match the 17 Pro's 6.3-inch, while the iPhone 17 Air will have a 6.6-inch display, and the 17 Pro Max will get a 6.9-inch screen. The vanilla model looks to have a larger screen, which was previously rumored to come in at 6.3 inches. The lineup is likely to include Redmi Note 15 Pro and Note 15 Pro+ models. It will come at the expense of resolution, it seems.
