Multiple leaks and rumours have already indicated that the upcoming Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold will bring some big improvements, both in design and durability. Now, according to a new leak from AndroidHeadlines, we are learning about some possible design choices. Here’s what we know.

Google Pixel 10 Pro – Recent Leak

Android Headlines report reveals that the upcoming foldable will feature a thinner hinge, making the device sleeker and more comfortable to hold. This change could help it better compete with rivals like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7.

But the standout upgrade here is its new IP68 rating, something no foldable phone has achieved before. Most foldables skip dust protection altogether, offering only water resistance with ratings like IPX8. If the Pixel 10 Pro Fold does indeed come with IP68, it will be the first foldable that’s both dust-tight and water-resistant.

The “6” stands for complete dust protection, and the “8” means it can survive being submerged in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes.

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold7 is rumoured to offer IP48 protection, so Google could take the lead when it comes to rugged foldables.

Design-wise, leaked renders suggest the Pixel 10 Pro Fold will closely resemble the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. The camera setup is also expected to stay largely the same with a 50MP Sony GN8 primary sensor and dual 12MP Samsung 3J1 lenses for telephoto and ultra-wide shots. Only slight changes are expected to the main sensor.

Google is likely to launch the Pixel 10 Pro Fold globally on August 20. If these leaks hold up, this could be the most durable and refined foldable Google has made yet.

FAQs

Q3. When is the Pixel 10 Pro Fold expected to launch, and what about its camera setup?

Answer. Google is likely to launch the Pixel 10 Pro Fold globally on August 20, and it’s expected to retain the 50MP Sony GN8 primary sensor with dual 12MP Samsung 3J1 lenses for telephoto and ultra-wide shots.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 Design and Prices Leak Ahead of July 9 Launch

Highlights

  • The Galaxy Z Fold7 is expected to be 9mm thin when folded and 215g in weight with a larger 6.5″ outer and 8.2″ inner display and possibly a 200MP camera.
  • The Flip7 may feature a larger 4″ cover screen, Exynos 2500 chip, and 4,174mAh battery, while the Flip7 FE could offer a more affordable option with Exynos 2400e and 3,700mAh battery.

Samsung’s next-generation foldables the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 are just weeks away from launch, but early leaks and dummy models are giving us a solid preview of what to expect. Here’s a quick rundown of every recent leak.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 – Dummy Unit Hands-on Video Leaked

A new hands-on video from Korean YouTube channel TheSINZA shows off a dummy unit of the Galaxy Z Fold7, placed side-by-side with the Fold6 and Galaxy S25 Ultra. While it’s not a working model, the dummy gives us a good idea of the Fold7’s dimensions and form factor.

Compared to the Fold6, the Fold7 dummy looks noticeably thinner, around 9mm when folded and just 4.5mm when unfolded, down from the Fold6’s 12.1mm and 5.6mm thickness. It’s also rumoured to be lighter at 215g, making it not only lighter than the Fold6 (239g), but also slimmer than the Galaxy S25 Ultra (218g).

The outer display is expected to increase to 6.5 inches with a 21:9 aspect ratio, while the inner screen could expand to 8.2 inches. The dummy model was shown in Blue Shadow and Jet Black, likely launch colours. Some leaks even suggest a 200MP main camera, though nothing is confirmed yet.

Battery capacity reportedly stays at 4,400mAh, which some may find underwhelming, especially compared to foldables like the Honor Magic V5 with its 6,100mAh cell.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 and Flip7 FE

Press renders shared by tipster Evan Blass reveal the Galaxy Z Flip7 in three colours, which are Blue Shadow, Jet Black and Coral Red. The biggest visual change is a larger 4-inch cover screen, which wraps around the dual rear cameras, up from the 3.4-inch screen on the Flip6.

This redesign could allow full Android apps to run on the cover screen, although Samsung hasn’t officially confirmed it. The Flip7 is also expected to be thinner, possibly around 6.4–6.5mm when unfolded, compared to 6.9mm on the Flip6.

Under the hood, the Flip7 is expected to feature the Exynos 2500 chipset, a 4,174mAh battery, and 25W fast charging.

Meanwhile, the more affordable Galaxy Z Flip7 FE sticks with the Flip6’s design and might use the Exynos 2400e. It’s expected to house a 3,700mAh battery, which is slightly smaller than the Flip6’s, and could impact battery life. The camera setup may include 12MP main and ultrawide sensors, plus a 10MP front camera.

Galaxy Z Fold7 and Flip7 Prices Leak in Europe

Ahead of the official launch, pricing for the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 has reportedly surfaced via Italian retailer listings. Samsung has been using codenames, Q7 for the Fold7 and B7 for the Flip7, to prevent leaks, but tipster NieuweMobiel managed to spot them.

  • Z Fold7 (256GB) – €2,227
  • Z Fold7 (512GB) – €2,309
  • Z Flip7 (512GB) – sees a €100 bump over its predecessor

These prices include 22% VAT and show a notable €200 hike for the Fold7 compared to the Fold6. While unconfirmed, Samsung might justify the higher pricing by offering a more affordable option in the form of the Z Flip7 FE, expected to be priced around $750.

More official details should be revealed on July 9, when Samsung is expected to unveil its entire foldable lineup.

iOS 26 Brings AI Battery-Saving Feature, But Only for Select iPhones

0

Highlights

  • iOS 26 update adds an AI-powered battery feature called Adaptive Power Mode.
  • It uses Apple Intelligence to make subtle performance tweaks to extend battery life without major slowdowns.
  • The feature is only available on iPhones with Apple Intelligence and is not supported on iPhone 14 Pro or regular iPhone 15.

Apple’s new iOS 26 update might not look like a big leap at first glance with its fresh Liquid Glass design taking centre stage. But it quietly adds some smart new features under the hood. One of the most useful additions is a new AI-powered battery-saving tool called Adaptive Power. Although the catch is that it is only available on select iPhones. Here’s what we know.

iOS 26 – Adaptive Power

image

Adaptive Power is a new setting under Power Mode that uses Apple’s on-device AI known as Apple Intelligence to make small adjustments that help your iPhone last longer throughout the day.

As Apple explains, “When your battery usage is higher than usual, iPhone can make small performance adjustments to extend your battery life, including slightly lowering the display brightness or allowing some activities to take a little longer. Low Power Mode may turn on at 20 per cent.”

So, it doesn’t drastically slow down your phone, just makes minor tweaks when needed to stretch your battery a bit further.

Which iPhones Support Adaptive Power?

Not every iPhone getting iOS 26 will support this feature. According to MacRumors, Adaptive Power only works on devices that have Apple Intelligence, which includes –

  • iPhone 15 Pro
  • iPhone 15 Pro Max
  • iPhone 16, 16 Pro, 16 Pro Max
  • iPhone 16e

Apart from these, the regular iPhone 15 also doesn’t support it even though it runs the same version of iOS. It is because the model lacks the AI capabilities required.

Why This Matters for iPhone 17 Air?

Many tech enthusiasts have pointed out that the feature could be especially useful for the upcoming iPhone 17 Air. This is because 17 Air is rumoured to be just 5.5mm thick, even slimmer than the Galaxy S25 Edge. With such a thin body, Apple is expected to include a relatively small 2,800mAh battery. That’s where Adaptive Power could help and make sure the phone delivers decent battery life despite its size.

We’ll find out more in September, when Apple is expected to launch the full iPhone 17 lineup. It will include the standard, Pro, Pro Max and Air models. The stable iOS 26 release will roll out around the same time, following its current developer beta phase.

FAQs

Q1. What is Adaptive Power in iOS 26 and how does it work?

Answer. Adaptive Power is a new setting under Power Mode that uses Apple’s on-device AI, known as Apple Intelligence, to make small adjustments like slightly lowering display brightness or allowing some activities to take a little longer to extend your iPhone’s battery life.

Q2. Which iPhones support the Adaptive Power feature in iOS 26?

Answer. Adaptive Power only works on devices that have Apple Intelligence, which includes: iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 16, 16 Pro, 16 Pro Max, and iPhone 16e.

Q3. Why is Adaptive Power important for the upcoming iPhone 17 Air?

Answer. The iPhone 17 Air is rumoured to be just 5.5mm thick with a relatively small 2,800mAh battery, so Adaptive Power could help ensure decent battery life despite its slim design.

iPhone 17 May Launch in Purple and Green Colours, iPhone 17 Pro Could Get Better Cooling System

0

Highlights

  • iPhone 17 series reportedly testing Purple and Green colour options.
  • The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max may adopt a vapour chamber cooling system, replacing the current graphene sheet.
  • Expect a 120Hz display, aluminium frame, and a new iPhone 17 Air variant replacing the Plus model.

Apple is gearing up to launch the iPhone 17 series this September, and leaks are already giving us a glimpse of what to expect. Now latest updates show some cool new colours we might get. Apple is reportedly testing new colours for the base iPhone 17 and Purple seems to be the front-runner. Here’s what we know.

iPhone 17 Colours – Purple and Green Colour

According to tipster Majin Bu, the base iPhone 17 model might come in new Purple and Green colour options, while the Pro models could feature a much-needed cooling upgrade.

Majin Bu says the purple option has a “vibrant and modern hue crafted for those seeking a device with bold personality,” while the green one may “offer a fresh and natural tone, ideal for a minimalist yet striking aesthetic.”

While both colours are being tested, it’s possible that only one will make it to the final launch with Purple likely getting the nod. If finalised, this would mark the return of the Purple shade last seen on the iPhone 14 and 14 Pro.

Previous leaked images also suggest the iPhone 17 will feature a design similar to the iPhone 16 with dual vertically aligned cameras inside a pill-shaped module. As with previous generations, we can expect the iPhone 17 to launch in at least five colours, likely including White and Black, which Apple typically sticks with.

iPhone 17 Pro Models To Get Vapour Chamber Cooling

In a separate post on X, Majin Bu also revealed that the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max could switch from the current graphene sheet cooling system to a more efficient vapour chamber setup. This would help the devices stay cooler during intensive tasks like gaming or video editing.

iPhone 17 Series – What Else to Expect?

The iPhone 17 is rumoured to feature a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother visuals. However, it may not support ProMotion, which dynamically adjusts refresh rate from 1Hz to 120Hz to save battery. It’s also expected to have an aluminium frame, with each colour option enhancing the phone’s aesthetic appeal.

Another major change could be the removal of the ‘Plus’ model, replaced by a new iPhone 17 Air. This variant is said to feature a slimmer design and a visor-style camera module, possibly positioned to compete with the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. Details about its colour options and cooling system are still under wraps.

More information about the iPhone 17 lineup is expected to surface as the launch date approaches.

Answer. According to tipster Majin Bu, Apple is testing Purple and Green colour options for the base iPhone 17, with Purple likely getting the nod.

Q2. What cooling upgrade is expected for the iPhone 17 Pro models?

A fresh leak from tipster Digital Chat Station has given us an early glimpse of what the OnePlus 15 might offer and as expected, it looks like more refinement than revolution.

New OnePlus 15 Leak

According to the Digital Chat Station’s recent post on Weibo, the OnePlus 15 will come with a 6.78-inch LTPO 2.5D flat display with 1.5K resolution, custom-made by BOE. This is slightly smaller than the OnePlus 13’s 6.82-inch QHD+ LTPO 4.1 display, but the new panel is said to be more power-efficient, with better color consistency and improved brightness.

The phone is also tipped to feature a “LIPO four narrow edge design,” meaning ultra-thin, uniform bezels on all sides made possible by LIPO technology. The focus seems to be on energy efficiency, consistent colour tuning, and even brightness across the display, typical improvements you’d expect in a yearly update.

OnePlus 15 – “SuperBlack” Look and New Chip

Design-wise, the engineering prototype is described as “SuperBlack” with high light absorption that supposedly makes it look like a “black hole.” While that may be an exaggeration, it hints at a matte black version that reduces glare and smudges.

The OnePlus 15 is expected to run on Qualcomm’s upcoming flagship chip, the SM8850, likely to be called the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2. The phone is also said to have “custom buttons” on the side, though their function remains unknown.

There’s no word yet on the phone’s exact dimensions, camera setup, or build materials. But since the OnePlus 13 already offers a 6000mAh battery, a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, and triple 50MP cameras, it looks like the OnePlus 15 will focus more on fine-tuning than major upgrades.

FAQs

Q1. What kind of display will the OnePlus 15 feature?

Answer. The OnePlus 15 is expected to have a 6.78-inch LTPO 2.5D flat display with 1.5K resolution, custom-made by BOE, offering better power efficiency, color consistency, and brightness than its predecessor.

Q2. What processor is rumoured to power the OnePlus 15?

Answer. It’s tipped to run on Qualcomm’s SM8850 chip, likely to be named the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, delivering flagship-level performance.

Q3. What are some design highlights of the OnePlus 15?

Answer. The phone may feature a “SuperBlack” matte finish with high light absorption, ultra-thin bezels using LIPO technology, and custom side buttons, though their function remains unknown.
