• Lava is reportedly working on a new mid-range smartphone, possibly called the Lava Virat Curve 5G.
• The device has appeared on the IMEI database and tipped to use MediaTek Dimensity 7100 5G chipset and run Android 16.
• Lava is yet to officially confirm the smartphone as of now.

It appears Lava is getting ready for a new smartphone for its Virat series and it may be called the Lava Virat Curve 5G. According to an exclusive report by PassionateGeekz, the company appears to be working on a new device that could bring a curved display to the Virat lineup.

Lava has previously indicated that the Virat series will cover both the budget and mid-budget segments. And if reports about Virat Curve 5G are true, this could be positioned higher in the series.

Lava Virat Curve 5G Spotted in IMEI

The upcoming Lava curved smartphone has reportedly appeared on the IMEI database with the listing LXX529 and has also surfaced on Geekbench. These appearances provide an early indication of what Lava could have planned for its smartphone lineup in 2026.

According to the report, the device is expected to be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7100 5G chipset and could run Android 16 out of the box. If these details are accurate, the phone could offer a more capable hardware package than Lava’s entry-level offerings.

For now, details about the display size, cameras, battery, charging and pricing remain unknown. Lava has also not officially announced the smartphone or confirmed whether it will be called the Virat Curve 5G.

Lava Aura Curve 5G or Virat Curve 5G?

There is some uncertainty around the official moniker of the smartphone as well. The device has previously been associated with the Lava Aura Curve 5G name but PassionateGeekz’s latest findings suggest that it could instead launch as the Lava Virat Curve 5G.

This possible change in branding would fit with Lava’s plans to expand the Virat family across different price segments including the mid-budget category. If the information is accurate, the Virat Curve 5G could serve as the more premium model in the series, combining a curved display with a more upscale design.

Since the final retail name has not been officially confirmed by Lava yet, we will have to wait for more concrete reports to know more.

• As of now, no official date or specs have been confirmed.
• Previously leaked details reveal possible variants such as 4GB+64GB and 4GB+128GB with Moonlight Silver and Nebula Black colour options.

Realme appears to be preparing another affordable smartphone for its P4 series in India. According to recent reports, Realme P4s Lite has now received certification from India’s Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). The latest certification comes after earlier reports pointed towards the development of another P4-series model. Here’s more on what we know.

Realme P4s Lite Gets BIS Certification

The Realme P4s Lite has been spotted on the BIS certification database with the model number RMX5398. The listing does not mention any hardware details or other specifications, but BIS certification is an important requirement for smartphones launching in India.

Realme has not officially confirmed the device or revealed a launch date. More certifications in the coming days could provide more information about the phone before its official announcement.

Realme P4s Lite Expected Specifications

There is still very little information about the hardware of the upcoming smartphone. According to the earlier report, the Realme P4s Lite could be available in two configurations including 4GB RAM with 64GB storage and 4GB RAM with 128GB storage. The phone is also expected to come in Moonlight Silver and Nebula Black colour options.

Some reports have hinted that Realme P4s Lite could borrow some specifications from the Realme P4 Lite 4G.

If that is true, it could feature a 6.74-inch HD+ LCD display, a 6,300mAh battery and a Unisoc T7250 chipset. The phone could also carry an IP54 rating for dust and water resistance.

Realme could position the P4s Lite closer to the Realme P4 Lite 5G. For context, the Realme P4 Lite 4G was launched in India at Rs. 7,999, while the Realme P4 Lite 5G debuted at Rs. 12,999.

As of now, details are limited but we can expect more updates from the brand and other sources as the launch date approaches.

Poco X8 5G Expected Specifications

According to recent reports, the Poco X8 could be a rebranded version of the Redmi Note 17 Pro 5G, which was launched in China last month. If that turns out to be the case, the Poco phone could feature a 6.83-inch AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.

The Poco F9 series appears to be getting closer to its launch with the Poco F9 Ultra and Poco F9 Pro. The two smartphones have appeared on Singapore’s IMDA and Indonesia’s SDPPI databases recently, which suggests their global debut could happen within the next few months.

As multiple reports have already confirmed, the upcoming Poco F9 Ultra and F9 Pro are expected to be rebranded versions of the Redmi K100 Pro Max and Redmi K100 Pro, respectively. Both models have recently launched in China and you would expect the same hardware on the upcoming Poco phones as well. However, a new leak suggests that Poco could make some significant changes to the battery capacities of the two phones.

Poco F9 Ultra, F9 Pro Battery Specs

According to reliable tipster Kacper Skrzypek (via Ximitime), details found in the HyperOS code reveal the battery capacities and charging capabilities of the upcoming Poco phones.

The Poco F9 Ultra is reportedly set to feature an 8,050mAh battery, while the Poco F9 Pro could pack a 6,330mAh battery.

These capacities are notably different from those of their expected Redmi counterparts. The Redmi K100 Pro Max comes with a much larger 9,070mAh battery, while the Redmi K100 Pro features an 8,580mAh battery.

Despite the difference in battery capacities, the charging speeds are expected to remain unchanged. Both Poco models are tipped to support 100W fast charging and match the charging capabilities of the corresponding Redmi smartphones.

Other than this, the two phones are expected to retain most of the hardware specifications found on their Redmi counterparts.

Poco F9 Ultra, F9 Pro Expected Specifications

The Poco F9 Ultra is expected to feature a 6.9-inch AMOLED display, while the Poco F9 Pro could come with a slightly smaller 6.59-inch screen. Both smartphones are tipped to offer a 1.5K resolution and a high 185Hz refresh rate, which could make them particularly appealing to users looking for a gaming-focused display.

Under the hood, both models are expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 V-series chipset. They could be offered with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and as much as 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage.

For selfies and video calls, the Poco F9 Ultra and F9 Pro are expected to feature a 32-megapixel front camera. The primary camera on both phones could be a 200-megapixel Samsung HP5 sensor.

The camera setups are expected to differ beyond the main sensor. The Poco F9 Ultra may feature a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom. Meanwhile, the Poco F9 Pro could have an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera paired with a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera offering 2.5x optical zoom.

More details about the two upcoming Poco smartphones are likely to come out before their expected launch in the coming months.

The panel will support up to 2,000 nits of HBM full-screen brightness, which should make the screen easier to view outdoors. iQOO also claims the display has low ghosting and a 98% first-frame brightness ratio to deliver more consistent brightness during use.

iQOO Neo 11 Extreme Edition – What Else We Know?

In previous updates, iQOO has already confirmed that the Neo 11 Extreme Edition will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset.

The chipset choice also ties in with an earlier Geekbench listing believed to belong to the Neo 11 Extreme Edition. The listing showed an 11-core Mali-G1-Ultra GPU, rather than the standard Dimensity 9500’s 12-core configuration. This suggests that iQOO could be using a binned version of the Dimensity 9500 in the new phone.

The phone will also pack a massive 9,100mAh battery with support for 100W wired charging.

With the launch now just days away, iQOO is gradually revealing more about the Neo 11 Extreme Edition

What Else Could Google Announce?

While the Pixel 11 series is going to the centre stage at today’s event, that will not be the only thing we will talk about post-event. The Cupertino giant is expected to touch upon several of its other products and here’s everything we know so far.

What’s New With Gemini?

Google introduced Gemini Intelligence alongside Samsung’s latest foldables but the Pixel 11 series is expected to showcase its capabilities more fully. All Pixel 11 models will run Android 17, which launched in May.

Leaks so far have suggested that Gemini this time will offer a deeper integration. We can expect the AI assistant to have sharper context understanding across your Google account and interact with different parts of the phone.

An Upgrade to the Pixel Watch

Alongside the new smartphones, Google is also expected to unveil the Pixel Watch 5 at its Made by Google event. The smartwatch is tipped to come in 41mm and 45mm sizes with both variants measuring around 12.3mm thick. The smaller model could weigh 31 grams, while the larger version may weigh 36.7 grams.

Other expected features –

• An Actua 360 LTPO AMOLED display with up to 3,000 nits peak brightness, a 60Hz refresh rate and 320ppi pixel density.
• The screen could be protected by custom 3D Corning Gorilla Glass 5.
• May use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon W5 Gen 2 chipset paired with a Cortex-M55 coprocessor.
• The 41mm model could pack a 332mAh battery, while the 45mm version may feature a larger 465mAh battery.

Pixel Tag

Google is also reportedly preparing to launch the Pixel Tag, which could become the company’s first Bluetooth-based item tracker and a direct competitor to Apple’s AirTag. The device is expected to help users find misplaced belongings through audible alerts using Google’s Find My Device network.

The Pixel Tag could be offered in at least a Fog Light colour option. In the EU, it is reportedly expected to cost EUR 34.90 (roughly Rs. 3,800).

Android XR? Googlebook?

Android XR glasses – Google may share more details about its upcoming XR glasses. Warby Parker and Gentle Monster are among the first brands expected to launch Android XR glasses in fall 2026 with Google’s Gemini AI features integrated into the experience.

Googlebook laptops – Google could offer a preview of its upcoming Googlebook laptop lineup, although a separate event may be planned for the devices. The laptops are expected to run Android and offer seamless integration with Pixel phones.

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.
