Oppo has just rolled out its latest budget-friendly 5G smartphone in India — the Oppo K13x 5G . Touted by the company as their toughest 5G phone yet , this new release is essentially a slightly reworked version of the Oppo K13 5G that launched earlier in April. Priced under ₹15,000, the K13x comes with a surprisingly solid spec sheet, especially for a phone in this segment. Let’s break it down. Price and Availability The Oppo K13x 5G will be available in three variants: 4GB RAM + 128GB storage – ₹11,999 6GB RAM + 128GB storage – ₹12,999 8GB RAM + 128GB storage – ₹14,999 Sales begin on June 27 , and the device will be up for grabs on Flipkart and the Oppo e-store .

As part of the launch offer, Oppo is giving up to ₹2,000 instant discount on select bank cards, plus exchange bonuses and a no-cost EMI option for three months. A pretty tempting deal if you’re looking to u...

Tecno has just taken the wraps off its latest POVA 7 series, and it's clear the brand is doubling down on gamers. The new lineup includes five smartphones: POVA 7 Ultra 5G, POVA 7 Pro 5G, POVA 7 5G, POVA Curve 5G, and a 4G-only variant, the POVA 7. Sitting at the top of the range is the POVA 7 Ultra 5G, a device that’s designed to handle intensive gaming sessions without breaking a sweat. Photo Credit:  prnewswire One of the standout features across the lineup is the generous battery capacity. The POVA 7 Ultra 5G packs a massive 6000mAh battery, paired with 70W wired fast charging and 30W wireless charging—a combo that’s rarely seen at this price point. Tecno is clearly taking a bold swing here, especially with wireless charging support across its other 5G models as well. Design-wise, the phones sport what Tecno calls an “Interstellar Spacelip” look. That translates into a mix of triangular patterns, clean lines, and a sleek, minimal feel. Meanwhile, the POVA Curve 5G breaks new gr...

Vivo is set to pull the curtains back on its latest addition to the Y-series the Vivo Y400 Pro 5G today in India. Positioned as the successor to last year’s Y200 Pro 5G, this new release seems to be aiming for a sweet spot between sleek design and powerful performance. While Vivo hasn’t officially confirmed the pricing yet, industry chatter suggests the Y400 Pro 5G will land somewhere around ₹25,000. That puts it in direct competition with the likes of the OnePlus Nord CE 4, Nothing Phone 3a, and the Motorola Edge 60. That’s a crowded field, so Vivo clearly has its work cut out. One of the phone’s standout claims is its ultra-thin 3D curved AMOLED display the slimmest in its class, according to the company. The display is expected to measure 6.77 inches and offer a 120Hz refresh rate, paired with a peak brightness of up to 4,500 nits. That’s bright enough to handle even the harshest sunlight, at least on paper. Under the hood, the Y400 Pro 5G is likely powered by the MediaTek Dimensity...

After weeks of speculation, OnePlus has finally locked in the date for its upcoming launches and fans have reason to be excited. On July 8, 2025, at 2 PM IST, the company is set to unveil three new products in India: the much-awaited OnePlus Nord 5, the more budget-friendly Nord CE 5, and a fresh pair of truly wireless earbuds the OnePlus Buds 4. A Closer Look at the Nord 5 The OnePlus Nord 5 is being positioned as the most powerful Nord smartphone to date. While it borrows its design DNA from the Ace 5 Ultra Edition (sold in China), the internal hardware gets a notable switch. Instead of MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400+, this global version runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 a move that could appeal to fans of Snapdragon’s proven performance. OnePlus also claims this is the fastest Nord ever built, equipped with a beefy vapor chamber cooling system and support for up to 144fps gaming on popular titles like BGMI and COD Mobile. That’s a serious push into mobile gaming territory. Rumors s...

Samsung is clearly speeding things up this year. With Google rolling out Android 16 earlier than expected, Samsung isn’t wasting time either One UI 8 is already in beta and inching closer to its official launch. That’s a noticeable shift from the usual timeline, and it looks like Samsung is trying to keep the momentum going. Now, if you’re a Galaxy S-series user, you might be wondering if your device will make the cut. While Samsung hasn’t published an official list yet, its track record on software support gives us a pretty good idea. Based on that, here’s a rundown of Galaxy S-series phones likely to get the One UI 8 update: Galaxy S25, S25+, S25 Ultra, S25 Edge Galaxy S24, S24+, S24 Ultra, S24 FE Galaxy S23, S23+, S23 Ultra, S23 FE Galaxy S22, S22+, S22 Ultra Galaxy S21 FE It’s worth noting the regular Galaxy S21 lineup isn’t included here. That might raise eyebrows, but there's a simple reason: the S21, S21+, and S21 Ultra launched with Android 11, while the S21 FE came later w...

ViewSonic has introduced two striking additions to its professional display lineup in India the 92-inch CDE92UW and the massive 105-inch CDE105UW. Both are ultra-wide, 5K resolution displays aimed squarely at businesses looking to upgrade their digital signage, meeting rooms, or collaborative workspaces. These aren't your typical office monitors. With their 21:9 aspect ratios and high-brightness screens, they’re designed to handle everything from hybrid meetings to control room command centers, all while offering crisp clarity and expansive real estate for multitasking or showcasing content. CDE92UW: Immersive Viewing with Versatile Features Starting with the 92-inch CDE92UW, the display offers a 5K ultra-wide canvas delivering around 33% more screen area than a standard 16:9 monitor. That’s a big deal in spaces like boardrooms or signage heavy areas, where visibility and space matter. It boasts a brightness level of 500 nits and a wide 178-degree viewing angle, so people across th...

Samsung hasn’t even revealed its next-generation foldables yet, but the Galaxy S26 series slated for an early 2026 launch is already drawing attention. This time, though, it’s not the hardware that’s generating buzz. It’s what’s happening behind the scenes on the software side. According to multiple leaks, Samsung has decided to skip the expected One UI 8.0 debut for its upcoming flagships and is instead pushing ahead with One UI 8.5. That’s an unusual move, considering that previous updates like One UI 6.1 and 7.0 didn’t get significant mid-cycle versions. It’s a return to the company’s older playbook, where “.5” releases often packed major changes. Tipsters cited by SamMobile say the firmware for One UI 8.5 is already in development, and it’s based on Android 16. That alone hints at something more substantial than just a few cosmetic tweaks. While Samsung hasn’t officially confirmed anything, a buried reference to the update in a hidden menu within One UI 7 has added fuel to the fi...
