Samsung has finally started teasing its next-generation foldable smartphone ahead of the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event. The Korean tech giant hinted at a noticeably wider foldable device for the first time by posting short videos on social media. Rumours and reports so far have widely referred to this majorly redesigned Samsung foldable as the “Galaxy Z Fold Wide.“ Here’s more on recent teasers.
Samsung Indirectly Teases Wider Galaxy Z Fold Design
Samsung India’s Instagram page.
Samsung India’s official Instagram page posted a few teaser videos recently. These video teasers do not reveal the smartphone directly but instead use unusually shaped everyday objects such as a broken chocolate bar and an incomplete puzzle to hint at a new aspect ratio for its upcoming foldable.
The teasers suggest a shorter and wider folded design, which could make the outer display feel more like a regular smartphone while also offering a wider viewing area when the device is unfolded.
Galaxy Unpacked Event Likely on July 22
Several reports have previously claimed that Samsung will host its next Galaxy Unpacked event on July 22 in London. The company has now strongly hinted that this could indeed be the launch date.

Samsung Malaysia is offering loyal customers an exclusive MYR 700 (around $171) discount on the purchase of their next Galaxy foldable through the Samsung Members app. The promotional offer will be available from July 22 until October 4.
Since the discount code becomes available on July 22, it serves as a strong indication that Samsung’s next Galaxy Unpacked event is expected to take place on the same day. Official invitations for the event are expected to be announced soon.
Samsung Galaxy Unpacked – Expected Launches
Samsung is expected to introduce several foldable smartphones during the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event. According to recent reports so far, the lineup may include the flagship Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, which is expected to retain the standard book-style foldable design alongside the regular Galaxy Z Fold 8 that is tipped to debut with Samsung’s new wider form factor.
Galaxy Z Fold 8 is expected to weigh around 201g and tipped to measure 4.5mm in thickness when unfolded and 9.7mm when folded.
The standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 is expected to feature a 7.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner display with a boxier 4:3 aspect ratio. It is also tipped to offer a wider 5.5-inch cover display with a 16:10 aspect ratio. According to leaks, Samsung could reserve its traditional taller Fold design for the premium Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, giving buyers two different foldable form factors for the first time.
If Samsung’s wider foldable design delivers a more practical everyday experience while maintaining portability, it could address one of the most common criticisms of book-style foldable smartphones. In any case, we will have to wait for official updates and announcements to know more about what’s in store for us this year.

An alleged iPhone 18 Pro drop test video surfaced online hinting at a refreshed rear design, thicker build and more protruding camera lenses, though authenticity is unverified.
Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro lineup and foldable iPhone in September 2026 with Pro models tipped to feature variable aperture cameras.
Apple’s upcoming iPhone 18 Pro may have leaked ahead of its expected September launch after a reported data breach at one of its suppliers. According to multiple reports, a cybersecurity incident involving Tata Electronics has allegedly exposed internal files related to Apple’s future products including an alleged drop test video of the iPhone 18 Pro that has been circulating on social media.
While the authenticity of the leaked video has not been independently verified, it has sparked speculation about the final design of Apple’s next-generation flagship smartphone.
Tata Electronics Data Breach Reportedly Exposes Apple Files

According to reports, Tata Electronics, one of Apple’s India-based suppliers recently suffered a cybersecurity incident that allegedly resulted in more than 200,000 files being uploaded to the dark web.
The leaked data is said to include documentation related to several products manufactured by Tata. A Reuters report claims the files also contain drawings of the iPhone 18 Pro circuit board, details of the Apple A20 chipset and supplier component lists.
Lots of files have surfaced from the TATA, thousands of files regarding iPhone 18 Pro, along with this.
The leaked material reportedly includes images from Apple’s durability testing process. Although there is no confirmation that videos were part of the leaked files, an alleged iPhone 18 Pro drop test video briefly appeared on social media before being removed.
Alleged Drop Test Video Hints at Refreshed Design
A screengrab from an alleged iPhone 18 Pro’s leaked drop test.
The video was initially shared on X by well-known tipster Ice Universe before it was taken down. Commenting on the clip, the tipster said, “This is easily the biggest leak in Apple’s history. You’re looking at the drop test of the iPhone 18 Pro. Durability seems solid, but it’s still surprisingly thick, and the weight remains a concern. The new color looks pretty good, though.”
According to the leaked footage, the alleged iPhone 18 Pro appears to feature a refreshed rear design with a metal-and-glass finish that looks more uniform compared to the two-tone design seen on the iPhone 17 series.
The video also suggests that the rear camera lenses protrude further from the body than those on the iPhone 17 Pro.
Another version of the same video from a different angle was reportedly shared by EVLeaks before it was also removed. However, a post from X users such as TechKard and TrakinTech showing both videos side by side reportedly remains available.

It is worth noting that multiple tech publications have stated that they have not been able to verify whether the leaked footage is genuine or AI-generated.
Meanwhile, Apple has not issued any public statement regarding the reported data breach. However, a Tata Electronics spokesperson told TechCrunch that the incident had “no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.”
As with all leaks, readers should treat the information with caution until Apple officially unveils the iPhone 18 series.
iPhone 18 Pro – What to Expect?
Based on previous rumours, the iPhone 18 Pro is expected to retain a triple 48MP rear camera setup comprising a primary, ultra-wide, and 4x telephoto camera. However, Apple is also tipped to introduce a variable aperture camera system for the first time on an iPhone allowing improved control over light intake and photography.
Apple is widely expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone, which has been referred to as the iPhone Fold in leaks during its September launch event. Recent speculation suggests the event could take place on September 8 although Apple has not officially confirmed the date.

Unboxing
Design and Build
OnePlus has kept the design of the N6 clean and practical. The phone features a square-shaped rear camera module that sits neatly on the back without protruding too much. It gives the phone a tidy look while also preventing any wobbling when placed on a flat surface.
We had the Fresh Mint colour variant for this review and its matte finish on the rear panel does a good job of resisting fingerprints and smudges. The finish helps in keeping the phone look clean even after extended use.
The OnePlus N6 feels surprisingly comfortable to hold despite holding a massive 8,000mAh battery. It has a compact feel in the hand that it is easier to use than you might expect. While the phone is on the heavier side at 224g, the weight is distributed well so it never feels awkward or excessively top-heavy during daily use.
Durability is one area where the OnePlus N6 stands out. It comes with MIL-STD-810H military-grade certification. Brand claims it has been tested to withstand accidental drops, extreme temperatures ranging from 65°C to -60°C, rain, freezing conditions, salt corrosion and sand and dust exposure. OnePlus has also included its ArmorShell Protection system that combines reinforced corners, airbag cushioning, strengthened glass and a reinforced aluminium frame to improve drop resistance.
The phone also has an IP65 rating for dust and water resistance. It isn’t designed for underwater use but it should comfortably handle dust, splashes, and light rain without any issues.
Overall, the OnePlus N6 offers a practical design with a strong focus on durability.
Display and Multimedia Experience
OnePlus N6 comes with a decently large 6.75-inch HD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Right out of the box, we do think this display delivers a fairly enjoyable viewing experience for its price.
The refresh rate makes everyday tasks like scrolling through social media, browsing the web, and navigating the interface feel smooth and responsive. While it may not be the sharpest display in its segment because of the HD+ resolution, it gets the job done and should be a good experience for most users.
OnePlus claims a peak brightness of up to 1,200 nits in High Brightness Mode. And we tested the display outdoors to notice that the screen remains comfortably visible even when you’re outdoors. Under direct sunlight, it does struggle but nothing that can hinder your usage. Colours look vibrant and the display is good for watching YouTube videos, OTT content, casual gaming and everyday media consumption.
The punch-hole design also helps create a more immersive viewing experience. Although, the noticeably thick chin at the bottom does remind you that this is a budget smartphone. It isn’t something that ruins the experience but it does stand out. Still, considering the price point, it’s not really a deal-breaker and is easy to overlook after a while.
The phone’s stereo speaker setup supports for 400% Ultra Volume. The larger acoustic chamber gets the speakers impressively loud without sounding too distorted at higher volume levels. The audio output is clear and loud enough for most situations.
After using the phone for more than a week, we can definitely say that although it may not have fancy display specs that sound great on paper. But it is surely a solid choice for users who spend a lot of time watching videos and are looking for a phone in budget.
Hardware and Performance
OnePlus N6 is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6360 Apex chipset and overall it offers a smooth everyday use experience. We used the phone as a primary device for almost a week and it was mostly smooth sailing. It handles routine tasks like browsing the web, switching between multiple apps, scrolling through social media or streaming videos without any noticeable hiccups. Multitasking is also well managed and it a dependable option for daily use. However, opening too many apps all at once could throw off the phone for a while.
In our testing, the phone performed well across most benchmark platforms, which reflects its capable hardware.
Casual and even moderately demanding games run comfortably and gaming at medium graphics settings shouldn’t be a problem for this device. OnePlus has also equipped the N6 with a large 5,300mm² vapour chamber cooling system that does a good job of keeping temperatures under control during extended gaming sessions or while streaming videos for long periods.
The phone stays reasonably cool in normal usage and we didn’t notice any significant signs of thermal throttling under moderate workloads.
On the software front, the device runs OxygenOS 16 out of the box. The interface feels familiar, fluid, and easy to navigate with plenty of customisation options that OxygenOS users have come to expect. OnePlus has also promised two major Android OS updates and three years of security updates which is reassuring for buyers planning to use the phone for a few years.
There are quite a few pre-installed apps out of the box and the interface after initial setup feels a bit cluttered. Thankfully, many of these apps can be uninstalled or disabled and once that’s done, the overall software experience remains clean.
Camera Performance
The OnePlus N6 comes with a 50MP primary rear camera with an f/1.8 aperture and selfies are handled by an 8MP front-facing camera. We have to keep the price in mind and that makes the camera performance is quite decent especially in favourable lighting conditions.
During the day, the primary camera captures natural looking photos with good colours and balanced contrast. OnePlus has avoided excessive image processing, which helps the pictures retain a more realistic look instead of appearing overly saturated or artificially sharpened. Details are good enough for everyday photography and the camera is reliable for capturing landscapes, people and pictures ready for social media.

However, performance in low light is not always ideal. If there is sufficient artificial lighting around, the phone manages to produce good-looking night shots with decent colours and acceptable detail. But once the lighting gets really low, the limitations of the camera become evident. The image processing takes longer resulting in slower capture times and the photos tend to show noticeable noise while losing some sharpness.
You are also not getting any dedicated sensors here and we did miss some versatility in the camera setup.

The OnePlus N6 performs better when it comes to video recording. It supports 1080p video recording at up to 60fps alongwith 720p slow-motion recording at 120fps and 1080p time-lapse videos at 30fps.
Videos come out clear and crisp with good colour reproduction, making the phone a dependable option for casual content creation. In fact, N6 is a good choice for its price if you’re someone who regularly shoots reels, short videos, or daily vlogs for social media.
OnePlus has also included several software camera features including Dual-View Video, Cinematic Video, AI Portrait Glow, AI Perfect Shot, AI Eraser, AI Unblur, AI Reflection Eraser, AI Reframe, AI Detail Boost, and support for up to 10x digital zoom. Some of these AI features are more useful than others although they do add extra flexibility for users who like editing or enhancing their photos directly on the phone.
Overall, the OnePlus N6 offers a capable camera experience for everyday use.
Battery Performance and Charging
Probably the biggest highlight of OnePlus N6 is its massive battery capacity. The phone packs a massive 8,000mAh battery and it is easily more than a day worth of power on a full charge. In fact, the phone for us comfortably lasted close to three days on a single charge with moderate usage that includes calling, messaging, social media, streaming and a bit of gaming. Even heavy users are unlikely to look for the charger before the end of the second day.
The battery supports 45W SUPERVOOC fast charging. Now, the charging speed isn’t the fastest in the segment but it is a reasonable. It took us around 1.45 minutes to fully charge the device. The phone also comes with several battery focused features that improve both convenience and long-term battery health.
Moreover, OnePlus N6 also supports 6.5W reverse wired charging and can double up as a power bank.
The standout battery feature is the phone’s claimed battery longevity. OnePlus says the battery is rated for up to 1,600 complete charge cycles and is designed to retain more than 80 percent of its original capacity even after seven years of usage.
The phone also features a four-layer charging safety system that protects against overcharging, accidental drops, flat compression, and extreme temperatures. The charging system is also designed to operate safely in temperatures ranging from -20°C to 56°C.
Verdict – Should You Buy OnePlus N6?
OnePlus N6 is entering the Indian market as the most affordable smartphone in the OnePlus lineup. After using the phone for almost a week, we can say it is definitely a well-rounded budget smartphone that gets the basics right while placing a strong emphasis on battery life and durability.
Its biggest strengths are the massive 8,000mAh battery, dependable day-to-day performance, sturdy build quality, and a smooth 120Hz display. The cameras also perform well in good lighting, while video recording is surprisingly capable for the price.
If your priorities are long battery life, reliable everyday performance, durable design and clean software experience with long term battery health, the OnePlus N6 is an easy recommendation.
