Xiaomi stealing Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7's show with its upcoming foldable
Xiaomi might not sell its smartphones in the United States, but the Chinese company is one of the world's largest smartphone manufacturers, consistently ranking among top five globally in terms of shipments. That alone makes Xiaomi dangerous for more established brands like Apple and Samsung. Speaking of the latter, the South Korean giant is expected to launch two new flagship foldables as early as July, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7. Based on previous history and the recent leaks, Samsung is no longer betting on innovation but rather hopes that its next foldables will sell thanks to the popularity of its brand among customers. Either that will be true or not we'll most likely find out soon after the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 launch in just a few months, but the fact that some of Samsung's main competitors will launch similar products before that will certainly not help. Xiaomi is rumored to come out with a brand-new flagship, a sequel to the Mix Flip, sometime in June, one month earlier than Galaxy Z Flip 7 is supposed to hit the market. According to reliable tipster Smart Pikachu, the end of June will be filled with big announcements, as no less than three interesting devices are likely to be introduced: Xiaomi Mix Flip 2, Redmi K80 Extreme Edition, and a Redmi gaming tablet. Xiaomi Mix Flip | Image credit: Xiaomi The Chinese leaker also claims Xiaomi's foldable will be thinner and lighter than the original Mix Flip. It will also be compatible with a range of nifty accessories, which haven't been named, sadly. As per previous reports, Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 measures 7.66mm when unfolded and weighs 190 grams. The phone is said to sports a 6.85-inch internal OLED display that supports 1.5K resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate. Other Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 rumored specs include a decent 5,100 mAh battery with 67W wired and 50W wireless charging support, as well as a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. In comparison, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 is said to feature a 6.85-inch internal panel, as well as a 4-inch cover display. The foldable is expected to pack the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite or a different Exynos 2500 chipset, but a much smaller 4,100 mAh battery with 25W wired and 15W wireless charging speed support. Although it's hard to say which of the two foldables will be the better one, the fact that Xiaomi's Mix Flip 2 will hit the market about a month earlier will definitely make the Galaxy Z Flip 7 harder sell. Of course, that's not the case in the US where Xiaomi does not sell any of its products.

OnePlus 15 leaks ahead of its launch: Expected to debut with Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chip, triple-lens rear system, and more
OnePlus 15 leaks: The OnePlus 15 is generating a lot of excitement, and enthusiasts are excited about its release. With speculations and leaks circulating on the internet, it's time to distinguish fact from fiction and get a taste of what this device may have in store. In this post, we'll provide you with the most recent updates on the OnePlus 15, such as what to anticipate from its India debut, likely pricing, and more. Whether you're a die-hard OnePlus fan or simply searching for a powerful new smartphone, we'll explain all you need to know about the OnePlus 15. OnePlus 15 expected launch timeline The upcoming OnePlus 15 is already generating hype months before its planned release. In India, the flagship is projected to follow in the footsteps of its predecessor, the OnePlus 13, and might debut in January 2026. OnePlus 15 expected specifications Camera When it comes to cameras, specifics remain hazy. According to Digital Chat Station, the OnePlus 15 will include a triple-lens back camera system, including a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto lens. However, another reputable leaker, Smart Pikachu, has speculated that the periscope lens might be a 200-megapixel sensor. If genuine, this would represent a significant increase in OnePlus' zoom and image capabilities. Display According to famed tipster Digital Chat Station, one of the most noticeable changes is the switch to a flat display, which is a break from the curved panels used in recent OnePlus flagships. The 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED panel is believed to have a 1.5K resolution, which is somewhat lower than the 2K (QHD+) screen featured on the OnePlus 13. However, the new design will reportedly include ultraslim and symmetrical bezels, similar to the thin edges found on recent iPhones. Processor The gadget could be powered by Qualcomm's speculated Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset, known internally as the SM8850. Benchmarks show outstanding performance, with the chip scoring 3.8 million on AnTuTu and achieving a 25% boost on Geekbench 6 vs its predecessor. It is also believed to be created using TSMC's 3nm (N3P) process, which promises more efficiency and power. Given that the OnePlus 13 has up to 24GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, similar or even higher specifications are expected. Design While design details are unknown, early rumors point to a sleek and simple structure. If OnePlus continues to reduce device thickness (the OnePlus 13 was 8.5mm thick), the 15 might be much slimmer, possibly without compromising battery capacity.

Even though the OnePlus 15 may include various changes, we may not see a significant increase in pricing. While nothing has been confirmed, speculation suggests that the OnePlus 15 will cost around Rs 80,000. For the latest and more interesting tech news, keep reading Indiatimes Tech.

OnePlus has recently confirmed the launch of the OnePlus 13s in India. But we are here to talk about the next flagship phone by the company -- the OnePlus 15. Yes, you read it right.

Given that the OnePlus 13 offered configurations of up to 24GB RAM and 1TB of storage, similar or even higher specs are When it comes to cameras, details are still murky. Digital Chat Station claims the OnePlus 15 will house a triple-lens rear system, including a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto lens.
