Oppo Find X9 Ultra could have the same main camera sensor as the Galaxy S26 Ultra
It turns out it's the one that Sony is developing - with 200 MP resolution and a 1/1.1" type size. That's not quite 1-inch type, but pretty close. Oppo Find X8 Ultra
Intriguingly, Samsung has been rumored to have chosen this exact sensor to use in the Galaxy S26 Ultra's main camera. If all of these rumors pan out, we'll have an interesting situation next year when both the Galaxy S26 Ultra and the Find X9 Ultra arrive, as they will compete against each other while using the same main camera sensor.
Well, in theory at least - if the Find X9 Ultra isn't officially sold outside of China (and that's definitely not outside the realm of possibility), then given Samsung's minuscule market share in China, the two won't really compete head-to-head anywhere.
Anyway, the Find X9 Ultra will launch after the Chinese New Year (which falls on February 17). DCS says it might arrive a little bit sooner than its predecessor, which was unveiled on April 10, so if we were to bet we'd go with an unveiling sometime in March.

Google teases Pixel 10 AI features in video
I'm sure that I don't have to tell you how important two letters are to smartphone manufacturers these days. The letters, "A" and "I" (which you'll note I presented to you in alphabetical order), mean so much to smartphone buyers when done correctly. Google and Samsung haven't written AI checks that their phones couldn't cash. That is what Apple did with the hugely disappointing Apple Intelligence AI initiative. Where Apple went wrong is exactly where Google went right. Apple made promises about Siri's AI capabilities at WWDC 2024, showing examples of how the digital assistant would look through your email, texts, calendar, and other apps to tell you what time your mom was supposed to land at the airport, and what time and where dinner reservations were made. Apple even went to the expense of shooting an ad showing how this "Personal" Siri would come to the rescue of a teen iPhone user who couldn't remember the name of the guy she had just met and had an interest in. It's amazing what you can create when you ask the right questions. Learn more about #Pixel10 during #MadeByGoogle on 8.20: — Made by Google (@madebygoogle) August 13, 2025 Apple had to pull the ad once it became clear that "Personal" Siri might not arrive until next year. For those of you who have used Google's Gemini app, OpenAI's ChatGPT, or any of the AI chatbox apps, it is so clear that they are the future of the digital assistant. Google has a head start as it is replacing Google Assistant with Gemini. I've been using Gemini as the assistant on my Pixel 6 Pro, and I love it. It answers my queries with responses that allow you to take a deeper dive if you wish to. AI is much more than a chatbox looking to answer your questions. I really wouldn't say that Google, Samsung, or Apple have done a good job to promote these other capabilities. Google, however, has released a teaser revealing some of the AI features already available on Pixel phones that will still be available for the Pixel 10 series. I guess that really doesn't make it much of a teaser. It starts with a question that makes you think: "What if your phone could do things other phones couldn't?" For example, "What if the camera could get super, super, super close while being really, really, really far?" This refers to Super Res Zoom, which is a feature that uses computational photography and AI to enhance and add detail to zoomed-in photos of people or animals physically far away, making it appear as though you were right in front of them. This would be a great AI feature for those watching performers on a stage, while sitting in the cheap seats. The next question, "What if you could be in the group photo even if you snapped the group photo?" is about the feature "Add Me." Let's say you want to take a group photo and add yourself to the photograph later. With "Add Me," you take the shot of the group, making sure to leave room for yourself. Someone else takes a second photo of just you. AI seamlessly merges the two photos together, making it appear as though you were in the original shot to begin with even though you took the picture. Google then says, "While you used to be on the other side of the camera, now the camera is on your side." The teaser ends with this deep thought, "What if you asked more of your phone and your phone answered?" We should learn more about the AI capabilities of the Pixel 10 series this coming Wednesday, August 20, when the "Made by Google" event takes place and the Pixel 10 line is unveiled. Besides the phones, we should see the Pixel Watch 4 introduced along with the more affordable Pixel Buds 2a.

Weekly poll: which, if any, of the Redmi 15 models would you buy or recommend to someone else?
Peter, 17 August 2025 A couple of weeks ago, Xiaomi unveiled the Redmi 15 series. There are two 4G models and there will be two 5G ones – the Redmi 15C 5G is late to the party, but it's on the way. We know that these are not glamorous, but they are competent phones on the cheap – would you buy one for yourself or recommend it to a family member? Which one? Let's start with the Redmi 15 5G. This one is powered by the Snapdragon 6s Gen 3, a 6nm chip with ARMv8 era cores and an Adreno 619 GPU. Other than that, it's basically identical to the 4G variant. Redmi 15 5G The Redmi 15 4G uses the Snapdragon 685, even though the 6s Gen 3 has a 4G variant (by name only, the silicon is actually a Snapdragon 695). Not that it makes much difference. What does make a difference is that the 4G model has a microSD slot on top of a second storage option (256GB, the 5G variant is available only with 128GB storage). These two have huge 6.9' IPS LCDs that run surprisingly fast for such affordable handsets, 144Hz. The 1080p+ resolution is also a welcome sight. They have equally huge 7,000mAh batteries (with 33W fast charging) and are rated IP64 for splash resistance. The rear camera has a 50MP sensor and tops out at 1080p @ 30fps video, the front one is an 8MP snapper. Redmi 15 4G There were no vanilla Redmi 14 models, so we have to turn to the Redmi 13 5G and 13 4G. Those had 6.79' IPS LCDs (120Hz and 90Hz, respectively) and more basic IP53 ratings. Their batteries were 5,030mAh. Interestingly, the older models had better cameras – 108MP on the back and 13MP on the front. Also, the 13-series had 3.5mm headphone jacks, which are absent from the 15-series pair. The Redmi 15C 4G also has a 6.9' display, a 120Hz IPS LCD, but it only has 720p+ resolution. At this size, it will be quite noticeable. The 15C is powered by the Helio G81 Ultra, which is a fairly old 12nm chipset. At least it has a microSD slot and a 3.5mm jack. Also, its battery is smaller at 6,000mAh (but it still supports 33W charging). There was a Redmi 14C 4G, which is quite similar to this one, save for the smaller 5,160mAh battery with a lower 18W charge rating. Redmi 15C 4G Here are the current prices of the Redmi 15 models: Pricing 128GB 256GB Redmi 15C 4G €115 - Redmi 15 4G €150 €175 Redmi 15 5G €210 - Would you buy a Redmi 15 5G for yourself or recommend it to a friend or family member? What about the Redmi 15 4G - is 5G a must-have feature or is 4G still okay for cheap phones? Speaking of cheap phones, what do you think of the Redmi 15C 4G? PS. If you have your sights set on a different entry-level phone, tell us about it in the comments.
