The Find X10 series is also expected to reach India. Tipster Yogesh Brar had previously claimed that the lineup could launch in India on October 28, 2026. The tipster also suggested that the phones could be priced between INR 90,000 and INR 1.5 lakh in India.

Adding to the India launch speculation, the OPPO Find X10 and Find X10 Pro Max have already appeared on India’s BIS certification database.

The OPPO Find X10 will feature two 200-megapixel cameras including the main and telephoto sensors, developed with Hasselblad as part of the Hasselblad Ultra-Clear Original Camera system. The setup uses a second-generation Danxia colour restoration lens and a dedicated colour sensor with 24 sampling channels to deliver more natural skin tones and lighting. The main camera will have an aperture of around f/1.6, while earlier leaks have pointed to a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera.

The phone will have 0.99mm bezels on all four sides, which OPPO says is its thinnest bezel design on a Find phone. It will pack an 8,000mAh battery designed to maintain performance through five years of regular charging. Geekbench listings have suggested a MediaTek MT6993 chip, possibly the Dimensity 9600M.

The phone will come in Ice Blue, Light Titanium and Clear Orange.

As per the latest reports, the Vivo S2 FE has appeared on the Geekbench benchmarking platform, giving an early look at its performance and key specifications.

According to the Geekbench listing details shared by tipster Anvin @ZionsAnvin on X, the Vivo S2 FE with model number V2640 scored 868 points in the single-core test and 2,887 points in the multi-core test. The phone is listed with MediaTek’s MT6858 processor featuring four cores clocked at 2.00GHz and four cores running at 2.50GHz. The listing also mentions a Mali-G610 MC2 GPU.

These clock speeds are similar to those of the MediaTek Dimensity 7300e, suggesting that the chipset could be used in the Vivo S2 FE. However, Vivo has not confirmed the processor details yet.

The Geekbench listing also reveals that the phone could run Android 16 and come with 6GB of RAM. This may only be one of the memory configurations planned for the device, meaning Vivo could offer the S2 FE in other RAM and storage variants as well.

According to an estimated timeline, the OPPO Find X10 and Vivo X500 series could be among the earliest new Android flagships to reach India.

OPPO is scheduled to launch the Find X10 series in China on September 22. The lineup will include the Find X10, Find X10 Pro Max and Find X10E. As per the latest reports, the series could arrive in India around the end of October, possibly before October 28.

If this timeline is accurate, the Find X10 series would reach India earlier than the previous generation. OPPO launched the Find X9 and Find X9 Pro in India in November 2025. The Find X10 Pro Max will also introduce a new top tier to the lineup. The model could serve as the successor or equivalent to last year’s OPPO Find X9 Ultra, which received a separate India launch later.

Xiaomi has confirmed that the Xiaomi 18 Pro series will launch in China this month, while reports suggest that the standard Xiaomi 18 could arrive separately at a later point.

According to reports, the Xiaomi 18 series could reach the country around December. If that happens, it would represent a change from the previous generation’s India launch schedule. The Xiaomi 17 and Xiaomi 17 Ultra arrived in India in March 2026, meaning Xiaomi could potentially bring its next flagship series to the country earlier this time.

Samsung Galaxy S27 Series India Launch Timeline

Samsung is expected to launch its next-generation Galaxy S27 flagship series in the first quarter of 2027.

The lineup is tipped to include four models, which are the standard Galaxy S27 5G, Galaxy S27 Plus 5G, Galaxy S27 Pro and the top-end Galaxy S27 Ultra 5G. The Galaxy S27 series could be unveiled between January and March 2027.

OnePlus 16 Specifications Leak: 9,000mAh Battery, 200MP Camera, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro and new ColorOS 17

Highlights

  • OnePlus 16 tipped with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro, Adreno 850 GPU, gaming‑focused tech, and ColorOS 17 on Android 17.
  • It is confirmed to have 165Hz system‑wide refresh rate and up to 185Hz gaming mode.

Although OnePlus 16’s exact launch date has not been announced yet, a previous leak suggested that the phone could debut in October. The brand has already confirmed a few details about the flagship model including the 165Hz refresh rate system-wide display feature and Android 17-based ColorOS 17.

Now, well-known tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS) on Weibo has shared complete specifications of the OnePlus 16 including details about its display, cameras, battery, charging and processor.

OnePlus 16 Processor and Performance

The OnePlus 16 is tipped to be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chipset. According to the leak, the processor could be manufactured using TSMC’s 2nm process and feature a 2+3+3 tri-cluster CPU configuration along with an Adreno 850 GPU.

These processor details have not been confirmed by OnePlus yet. However, the brand has confirmed the phone will debut with the new ColorOS 17.

The company has also revealed several gaming-focused technologies for the upcoming smartphone. These include the Wind Chaser Gaming Core, high-refresh-rate technology and an E-Sports Triple Chip system.

OnePlus 16 Battery and Charging

According to DCS, the OnePlus 16 will have a 9,000mAh typical battery with an 8,780mAh rated capacity. The battery is said to use a dual-cell architecture and could support 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging. If accurate, this would be a notable increase over the OnePlus 15, which has a 7,300mAh dual-cell battery.

The reported battery capacity is also higher than the 8,400mAh battery tipped for the upcoming iQOO 16, which is said to support 100W wired and 40W wireless charging.

However, iQOO has not confirmed those battery specifications yet.

OnePlus 16 Display and Refresh Rate

The OnePlus 16 is expected to bring broader support for a 165Hz refresh rate. OnePlus has already confirmed that the phone will run at 165Hz system-wide.

For comparison, the OnePlus 15 supports an adaptive 1Hz to 120Hz range for general usage, while its 165Hz refresh rate is available in compatible games. DCS further claims that the OnePlus 16 could offer an even higher 185Hz refresh rate while gaming.

The competition is also moving towards higher refresh rates. iQOO has officially confirmed a 2K 165Hz display for the iQOO 16. The company claims that its panel consumes 31% less power than a similarly sized 1.5K display when running at 150 nits. The OnePlus 16 is also tipped to use a BOE X4 display.

OnePlus 16 Camera Specifications

The leaked camera setup could bring major changes compared with the OnePlus 15. DCS claims that the OnePlus 16 will feature a 200MP primary camera using a 1/1.4-inch sensor. It is expected to be joined by a 50MP ultrawide camera and a 50MP periscope telephoto camera with a 1/1.95-inch sensor.

For selfies, the phone is reportedly set to feature a 50MP autofocus front camera.

This would be a significant shift from the OnePlus 15’s triple-50MP camera setup, which includes a 50MP main camera and a 50MP 3.5x periscope telephoto camera.

The larger primary sensor and higher-resolution telephoto camera could give the OnePlus 16 stronger camera hardware. Photography was one of the areas where the OnePlus 15 received criticism in comparisons with competing flagship smartphones.

OnePlus 16 India Availability

There is still uncertainty over whether the standard OnePlus 16 will launch in India. This comes after OnePlus significantly reduced its operations in several markets worldwide.

According to leaks, the OnePlus 16 could potentially skip the Indian market and instead, the OnePlus 16R will most likely take its place as the company’s flagship model in the country. Notably, OnePlus has not confirmed this information.

For now, buyers will have to wait for OnePlus to clarify the OnePlus 16 lineup and its availability in India.

The teaser also says the K14 Plus 5G is “designed to deliver a powerful combination of performance and durability.” The company reportedly describes the smartphone as “Built to Perform and Last, OPPO K14 Plus 5G is designed for users seeking smooth performance and reliable everyday experiences.”

OPPO K14 Plus 5G Design and Colours (Expected)

The teaser also hints at two colour options for the smartphone including orange and black/silver finishes.

OPPO K14 Plus 5G – What Else We Know?

OPPO’s K-series lineup recently has had a few launches, which includes OPPO K14 Lite, K14, and K14x.

The OPPO K14 5G was launched in India in March this year with a starting price of Rs 17,999 for the 6GB RAM and 128GB storage variant. The 6GB + 256GB version was priced at Rs 19,999, while the 8GB + 256GB model cost Rs 21,999. However, the base variant is currently selling for Rs 25,999.

Since the upcoming smartphone carries the “Plus” name, its price could potentially be around Rs 30,000 or higher. This, however, is only speculation at this stage since OPPO has not suggested anything regarding the pricing of the K14 Plus 5G.

As for specs, there are currently no leaks revealing the specifications or pricing of the OPPO K14 Plus 5G. Apart from the design details shown in the teaser and the information about its positioning, OPPO has not shared further hardware details about the upcoming smartphone.

More information is expected to be revealed as the India launch gets closer.
