Well, the company is not resting on its laurels, as it’s reportedly planning to test an even bigger capacity battery on a mid-range smartphone next year!

Sister companies OPPO and OnePlus are reportedly testing a next-gen battery for their smartphones, which is made out of 15% high-silicone content. The smartphone battery is touted to be 8000mAh and supports 80W charging, which wouldn’t be out of place on a tablet!

Previously, we shared how the vivo X200 series will reportedly be the first smartphone to feature the next-gen MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chipset. Now, more info about the SoC itself has been tipped, courtesy of reliable tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo.

HUAWEI is touted to announce the HarmonyOS NEXT, a homegrown and Android-free OS during its developer conference next month. A beta version of the OS is expected to launch in said event, with a full rollout in September.

Previously, we shared how Xiaomi reportedly has the exclusive 1st launch rights for the next-gen Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC, with the Xiaomi 15 series touted as the first smartphone with the chipset. Now, more information has emerged regarding the SoC and the device’s launch date.

Qualcomm is touted to release the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC later this year and it may get some serious improvements from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. In fact, the upcoming processor may get a 50 per cent boost in GPU performance.

realme recently released the realme Pad mini in Malaysia, an entry-level tablet featuring a 8.7-inch display starting at just RM599. Now, it looks like the company is poised to release its big brother, the realme Pad 5G soon and it may just come with the latest flagship mobile chip from Qualcomm.

We might be seeing a new OnePlus smartphone soon after the company was recently spotted receiving the mandatory 3C Certification in China for a device codenamed ‘PGKM10’. Shared by reliable tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the upcoming OnePlus device will feature the Dimensity 8100 chipset and a whopping 160W fast charging capabilities.

We've heard about OPPO planning to launch its first tablet way back at the beginning of the year. Until now, new information finally arrived by saying that the company's upcoming tablet will belong to the premium segment, which gives it a chance to rival against the likes of Apple and Samsung.
