Tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo has revealed that Xiaomi’s upcoming flagship phones are currently being tested in black, white, pink, blue and red colour options.

Although the tipster did not specifically identify the models, the information is believed to refer to the Xiaomi 18 Pro and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max.

In terms of design, the Xiaomi 18 Pro and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max are expected to follow their predecessors. This includes retaining the secondary display on the rear panel. The rear screen could also become larger compared with the previous generation, although its exact size has not been revealed yet.

Another interesting detail from the latest leak concerns the rear material. Digital Chat Station reportedly indicated that none of the colour variants of these upcoming devices will use a glass rear panel.

Xiaomi 18 Series Could Use 2nm Snapdragon Chip

The Xiaomi 18 series is expected to be among the first smartphones powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 platform. As per DCS’s recent post, the chipset is tipped to be manufactured using TSMC’s 2nm process.

According to the leaked information, the processor could feature Qualcomm’s self-developed Oryon CPU in a 2+3+3 octa-core configuration. It is also tipped to include a shared 16MB L2 cache and an Adreno 845 GPU. The platform is expected to support LPDDR5X memory.

Xiaomi’s India Launch Strategy

Alongside the hardware details, a separate leak has revealed Xiaomi and Redmi’s expected India launch schedule for the remaining part of 2026. Tipster Abhishek Yadav @yabhishekhd on X has shared a roadmap covering three launches between September and December.

The Xiaomi 18 Pro series is tipped to arrive in India by December. The lineup is expected to retain the rear secondary display, while the Xiaomi 18 Pro could reportedly receive a larger rear screen than the Xiaomi 17 Pro.

Before the Xiaomi 18 Pro series arrives, the company is reportedly planning the launch of the Redmi 17 series in India. According to the leaked roadmap, the Redmi 17 lineup could debut on September 5. Following the Redmi 17 series, Xiaomi is reportedly planning to introduce the Redmi Note 17 Pro series in India around September 18 or September 20.

However, none of the launch dates, specifications or design details mentioned in these leaks has been officially confirmed by Xiaomi. The reported timelines and specifications should therefore be treated as estimates until the company makes an official announcement.

• Two Xiaomi tablets with model numbers 26103RP65G and 2612CRPFFG have received IMDA certification in Singapore.
• The 2612CRPFFG model is likely the global Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro, expected to mirror the Chinese variant with Snapdragon 8‑series chipset and 67W wired fast charging.
• The standard Xiaomi Pad 9 may support 45W charging but Xiaomi has not officially confirmed details yet.

Xiaomi appears to be preparing to expand its upcoming tablet lineup to global markets with two new models now receiving regulatory approval in Singapore. The latest development also adds to earlier certification sightings and leaks surrounding Xiaomi’s next-generation devices. Here’s what we know so far.

Upcoming Xiaomi Tablets Certified By Singapore’s IMDA

According to a recent X post by tipster Anvin, Xiaomi devices carrying model numbers 26103RP65G and 2612CRPFFG have been certified by the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA).

While the certification does not officially reveal the marketing names of the tablets, the two models are believed to be linked to the upcoming Xiaomi Pad 9 and Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro.

Interestingly, the model number 2612CRPFFG has already appeared on the EEC certification database. Its marketing name was not revealed in that listing either. The latest IMDA sighting therefore provides another indication that Xiaomi could be preparing these tablets for launch outside China.

Singapore’s IMDA has approved two upcoming Xiaomi tablets: 26103RP65G and 2612CRPFFG.

These could be Xiaomi Pad 9 and Pad 9 Pro#Xiaomi #XiaomiPad9 #XiaomiPad9Pro pic.twitter.com/VOvY88DvP1

Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro Global Variant Could Be Model 2612CRPFFG

The model number 2612CRPFFG is closely related to model 2612CRPFFC, which was previously spotted in China. The Chinese model received 3C certification with support for 67W wired fast charging.

The difference between the two model numbers is the final letter. The letter “C” is generally associated with Chinese variants, while “G” is commonly used for global versions. This suggests that the 2612CRPFFG could be the international version of the Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro, although the certification has not officially confirmed the tablet’s name.

Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro Specifications Tipped

Tipster Digital Chat Station had previously revealed that Xiaomi is developing two tablets for the Chinese market namely the Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro and Xiaomi Pad 8s Pro.

The Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro is expected to be powered by a Snapdragon 8-series chipset, although the exact processor has not been disclosed yet. The tablet’s Chinese variant carrying model number 2612CRPFFC has already been associated with 67W fast charging.

Since the newly certified 2612CRPFFG shares almost the same model number, it is possible that the global version could offer similar core hardware and charging capabilities.

The standard Xiaomi Pad 9 has previously been linked to the model number M656BA. Unlike the Pro model, it is expected to support 45W charging.

The IMDA certification suggests that Xiaomi could be moving closer to launching its upcoming tablets in international markets. However, the company has yet to officially confirm the names, specifications or launch timeline of the Xiaomi Pad 9 and Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro.

Vivo’s upcoming X500 series is slowly moving closer to launch and new information keeps surfacing to reveal more details. The Vivo X500 lineup is expected to include the Vivo X500e, Vivo X500, Vivo X500 Pro and Vivo X500 Pro Max. The series is rumoured to debut in China in September followed by a global launch later this year.

While Vivo has yet to officially confirm the smartphones, multiple leaks have already revealed several details about the upcoming devices. The latest update to join the series of leaks is about the expected display sizes, chipsets and camera module designs of the Vivo X500, Vivo X500 Pro and Vivo X500 Pro Max. Here’s more on what we know.

Vivo X500, X500 Pro and X500 Pro Max – Display, Chipset and Camera Module (Leaked)

According to the latest leak, the standard Vivo X500 could feature a display measuring around 6.59 inches and be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9600 chipset, which is reportedly based on a 3nm manufacturing process. The phone is also said to feature a circular camera module positioned in the upper-left corner of the rear panel.

The Vivo X500 Pro, meanwhile, is tipped to have a more compact 6.37-inch display. It could be powered by the Dimensity 9600 Pro, which is expected to use a more advanced 2nm process. Unlike the standard model, the X500 Pro is said to feature a centrally positioned circular camera module on the rear.

The top-end Vivo X500 Pro Max could come with a significantly larger 6.85-inch display and the same Dimensity 9600 Pro 2nm chipset. It is also tipped to feature a circular rear camera module placed at the centre.

Vivo X500 Series – What We Know So Far?

Based on previous leaks, the standard Vivo X500 is expected to feature an OLED display with a 1.5K resolution. The smartphone is also rumoured to pack a large 7,500mAh battery although details about its charging technology have not been revealed so far.

For photography, an engineering prototype of the Vivo X500 has reportedly been spotted with a triple-camera system. The setup could include a 50-megapixel Sony primary sensor with a 1/1.28-inch sensor size, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera and a 64-megapixel Sony periscope telephoto camera. The periscope unit is tipped to use a 1/2-inch sensor and offer a 70mm equivalent focal length.

The Vivo X500 Pro, on the other hand, has previously been tipped to feature a flat LTPO OLED display with a 1.5K+ resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. Its compact form factor is expected to position it between the standard X500 and the larger X500 Pro Max.

An engineering prototype of the smartphone is also said to have been tested with a BOE OLED panel featuring a new-generation light-emitting material.

On the photography front, previous leaks have suggested that the Vivo X500 Pro could carry a 50-megapixel LOFIC primary camera alongside a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle sensor. A newer leak has also pointed towards a 64-megapixel periscope telephoto camera with an 85mm focal length.

As for the Vivo X500 Pro Max, it is expected to sit at the top of the X500 lineup and could receive the most advanced camera hardware of the three models. The Pro Max could also feature a massive battery with a capacity of around 8,000mAh, although charging details have not been revealed yet.

According to earlier information from tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the smartphone could feature a 50-megapixel Sony LOFIC primary camera with a large 1/1.28-inch sensor. LOFIC technology is designed to improve dynamic range by retaining more detail in both bright highlights and dark areas, potentially resulting in more natural-looking images in high-contrast scenes. Some reports have also linked the main camera to Sony’s upcoming LYT-838 sensor.

The primary camera could be accompanied by a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle sensor and a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera. The telephoto camera is tipped to offer an 85mm focal length and use a large 1/1.4-inch sensor. It could also support high-quality telephoto macro photography.

For now, all the specifications mentioned above are based on leaks and tipster information. Vivo has not officially confirmed the launch date, specifications or availability of the X500 series.

• Realme 16x 5G tipped to launch in India on August 12 with a 6.8″ HD+ punch‑hole display, 144Hz refresh rate, and 1,200 nits peak brightness.
• It will also pack MediaTek Dimensity 6300, Android 16 and a segment‑leading 5,300mm² VC cooling system.
• Other revealed features include 7,000mAh battery with 45W fast charging, 50MP AI rear + 8MP front cameras, MIL‑STD 810H durability and IP65 rating.

The Realme 16x 5G is set to launch in India on August 12 at 12 noon. However, we may not have to wait for that to know more about the upcoming 5G smartphone. A fresh offline retail leak has now revealed the complete specifications of the model. Some of these now leaked specs have already been teased and confirmed by Realme in the past few days. However, the company is yet to officially confirm the complete specifications.

Realme 16x 5G Full Specifications Leaked

According to the latest offline retail information, the Realme 16x 5G will feature a 6.8-inch, HD+ punch-hole display. The panel will support a 144Hz refresh rate, offering smoother scrolling and animations compared with standard 60Hz displays. The display is also rated for up to 1,200 nits of peak brightness and is expected to offer vivid HD+ visuals. An Eye Comfort mode will be included for more comfortable viewing.

It will feature a massive 7,000mAh battery paired with 45W SUPERVOOC fast charging. The company is also said to promise up to six years of battery health, which could help maintain battery capacity over a longer period.

The phone will also support bypass charging and reverse charging. Other battery-related features include AI power saving and AI phone cooling to improve power efficiency and thermal management.

Despite packing a large battery and cooling system, the Realme 16x 5G will measure just 8.8mm in thickness. It is tipped to weigh 217 grams and will feature a side-mounted fingerprint sensor for biometric authentication.

Powering the smartphone is the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 5G chipset built using a 6nm process and can reach a maximum clock speed of up to 2.4GHz. The phone is claimed to achieve an AnTuTu score of around 620,000 points. On the software side, the phone will run Android 16 out of the box. Realme is expected to provide two Android OS updates and three years of security updates.

Realme will also equip the smartphone with what is claimed to be the segment’s largest 5,300mm² VC cooling system. Combined with the chipset’s power-efficient architecture, the cooling solution should help manage temperatures during demanding workloads and gaming.

For audio, Realme is promoting a 400 percent volume boost, which should make the phone considerably louder than conventional smartphone speakers.

On the camera front, the Realme 16x 5G will feature a 50-megapixel AI-powered rear camera and an 8-megapixel front camera.

The smartphone will come with several AI-based imaging tools including AI Eraser for removing unwanted objects from photos and AI Ultra Clarity for enhancing image details. It will also support Dual-View Video mode along with an AI Motion Photo feature.

Realme is also expected to equip the phone with a Pulse Light smart notification light, providing a visual indication for notifications and other alerts.

Durability is another area where the Realme 16x 5G is expected to stand out. The smartphone will have MIL-STD 810H military-grade shock resistance along with an IP65 rating for protection against dust and water. The device will also offer Rain Touch mode, which should allow users to interact with the display more reliably when it is wet.

Realme 16x 5G Price in India and Variants

A previous leak by tipster Sanju Choudhary revealed three RAM and storage configurations for the Realme 16x 5G. The base 4GB RAM + 128GB storage model is tipped to cost Rs 25,999, while the 6GB + 128GB variant could be priced at Rs 27,999. The top-end 6GB + 256GB version is expected to carry a price tag of Rs 30,999.

The smartphone will be available in Endurance Brown and Glory White colour options.

However, these prices are based on leaked information and should be treated as tentative until Realme officially announces them.
