The year's coming to an end, but that doesn't seem to have stopped Chinese brands from releasing new phones. Besides the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, which was launched recently, Honor has unveiled a brand-new series in China - the Honor Win series. Below are some details of the two new devices.

As confirmed in the preview, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra makes its late-night debut on Christmas 2025. We already know what it looks like from the preview, but now we can confirm its technical specificationss and features too. Let's take a look at what this phone offers.

It was only two days ago when we reported that HONOR is gearing up for a new Win series gaming phone in China. Today, the company confirmed that it will be launched on 26 December 2025 with two top-tier tech specs. The lineup will include at least one flagship-tier model powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset paired with an exceptionally large 10000mAh battery.

For the first time, nubia has officially introduced its first-ever foldable device, the nubia Fold. At the moment, the device is on sale in Japan starting 4 December 2025, at 178560 Japanese Yen (~RM4.7K). Here are the rest of the tech specs that you need to know.

Today, POCO has introduced its most powerful devices to date with the launch of the POCO F8 Ultra and POCO F8 Pro. The announcement also included two new tablets, the POCO Pad X1 and Pad M1. The highlight, however, is the F8 Series, and here's everything you need to know.

Looks like nubia fans are in for a treat. Recently, nubia released the new nubia Z80 Ultra in Malaysia. That said, what should you know about it?

As you may know, Qualcomm unveiled two new flagship chipsets at the Snapdragon Summit 2025. Instead of just one successor to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, there's also a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 now. But wait, that's not enough either because Qualcomm could unveil a third variant in 2026.

Earlier this month, Honor launched the Magic8 series in China. Its latest flagship series includes the Honor Magic8 and Honor Magic8 Pro, but there's a third flagship for the series n the works. Although the launch window hasn't been confirmed, some details have already been revealed.

For some people, getting a new flagship phone means getting a slightly older device instead of the most recent models. It's a great strategy when the new model is merely a slight upgrade over its predecessor. That seems to be the case for the iQOO Neo 11, which is launching soon.

For the first time, OnePlus also launched the OnePlus Ace 6 alongside the OnePlus 15 in China. That said, this is not the first time that the Ace 6 is packed with powerful hardware, most notably the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and others. Here's everything you need to know about the Ace 6.
