Redmi is expected to shift its focus to the Redmi Note 17 series before unveiling the Redmi K100 lineup later this year. In the meantime, the company has introduced the entry-level 4G smartphone, Redmi 17C, in the Chinese market. And a new leak now suggests that Redmi could soon launch a Note-series smartphone featuring a large battery. Here are more details.

Redmi Note 17 Series Device Leaked Ahead of Launch

According to a tipster Digital Chat Station’s latest post on Weibo, Redmi is preparing a new mid-range smartphone that prioritises battery life, durability, and everyday usability. The upcoming device is said to pack a massive battery in the 9,000mAh range, which will make it one of the largest batteries seen on a Redmi smartphone to date.

The leak further claims that the handset will feature a flat display with 1.5K resolution, dual stereo speakers with high output volume, and improved durability. It is also tipped to offer flagship-level protection against water damage and accidental drops.

The upcoming Redmi smartphone is reportedly powered by a power-efficient Snapdragon 6-series processor. While the exact chipset has not been named, speculation points toward the Snapdragon 6 Gen 5.

This possibility gains credibility because Qualcomm previously confirmed that a Redmi smartphone would be among the first devices to adopt the Snapdragon 6 Gen 5 when the chip was announced in May. As a result, the leaked device is widely believed to be part of the Redmi Note 17 series.

Redmi’s Large Battery Strategy

Recent reports suggest that Redmi is continuing to push battery capacities higher across its budget and mid-range smartphone portfolio. However, the company may have even bigger plans in store.

Redmi is reportedly also working on a smartphone with an even larger 10,000mAh battery. The device is rumoured to launch as the Redmi Note 17 Pro Max and could debut in China sometime in August or September.

If accurate, Redmi’s upcoming Note-series lineup could become one of the most battery-focused smartphone ranges in the market.

Redmi K90 Ultra Also Expected Soon

Apart from the Note-series devices, Redmi is reportedly preparing another high-end smartphone launch. The company is said to be working on the Redmi K90 Ultra, which could arrive later this month.

According to rumours, the Redmi K90 Ultra may feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and an 8,500mAh battery paired with 100W fast charging support. The device is also tipped to include a built-in air-cooling fan system designed to help maintain performance during intensive tasks such as gaming.

As with all early leaks, readers should treat the information with caution until Redmi makes an official announcement.

According to Evangelidis, the number in a product name represents the generation of the device, while the accompanying letter identifies its position within the lineup. He also clarified that the a-series will continue to serve as Nothing’s most premium offering below its flagship smartphones.

Design Teasers Hint at Transparent Look

Nothing has already begun teasing the Phone (4b) and giving fans an early look at its design language. A recently released sketch-style teaser video suggests that the smartphone will continue the brand’s signature transparent rear-panel design.

The teaser also indicates that the device could feature a single rear camera. While this may help the company maintain a lower price point, it could raise questions among buyers especially since many smartphones in the affordable segment now offer dual-camera setups as standard.

Nothing Phone (4b) – What To Expect?

Although Nothing has not yet officially revealed the Phone (4b)’s specifications, the device is expected to be positioned below the Phone (4a) series in the company’s lineup. It is also expected to bring the company’s distinctive design philosophy and clean software experience to a lower price segment.

For reference, the Nothing Phone (4a) series starts at Rs 37,999 in India. As a result, the Phone (4b) is expected to arrive at a more accessible price point, making it one of the brand’s most affordable smartphones.

However, buyers should not expect an ultra-budget offering. Industry-wide increases in memory, component, and manufacturing costs have pushed smartphone prices higher across various segments.

More details regarding the smartphone’s hardware, features and pricing are expected to be revealed in the coming days.

Apple’s long-rumoured foldable iPhone referred to as the iPhone Ultra or iPhone Fold could still arrive this September despite earlier reports pointing to a delayed launch.

Fresh information from sources within Apple’s supply chain suggest that Apple is still on track to unveil the device. This means we can expect the foldable iPhone alongside the iPhone 18 Pro lineup.

iPhone Ultra – Apple Supply Chain Sources Expect September Launch

A latest report citing sources from Apple’s supply chain further strengthens the possibility of a September unveiling for iPhone Ultra.

According to information shared by China Securities Journal and referenced by DigiTimes, one Apple supplier has already begun shipping components for the company’s first foldable iPhone in small quantities. The supplier reportedly received guidance indicating that the device remains scheduled for a September announcement.

The report stated, “According to China Securities Journal, citing a source at an Apple supplier, the company recently started delivering components in small batches for Apple’s first foldable iPhone. The supplier reportedly received guidance indicating that the device is scheduled to be unveiled in September […] A second supply-chain source, separately cited in the report, said it had received no indication of a delay.”

The comments from multiple suppliers suggest that Apple has not communicated any significant changes to its launch plans.

iPhone Ultra – Previous Leaks Suggest Minimal or No Delay

It was Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman who first acknowledged the possibility of a delayed launch but suggested the wait would likely be short. He described the foldable iPhone as being “a little bit delayed,” indicating that an October release could be more likely than a launch at the end of the year.

Meanwhile, tipster Fixed Focus Digital previously claimed that Apple’s foldable smartphone was still expected to debut alongside the iPhone 18 Pro. According to the tipster, even if there were delays, they would likely be limited to about one month. The same source recently reiterated that claims of a major postponement were “fake.”

However, initial expectations suggested that Apple would introduce the iPhone Ultra together with the iPhone 18 Pro series. However, a Barclays investor note published in March claimed that the foldable iPhone’s launch could be pushed back to December.

A report from Nikkei Asia added that engineering challenges might further impact Apple’s timeline. According to that report, the device could potentially be delayed until early 2027 if development hurdles were not resolved in time.

iPhone Ultra Could Arrive Alongside iPhone 18 Pro

Based on the latest reports, Apple appears increasingly likely to introduce its first foldable iPhone during its traditional September launch event.

While the exact release timeline remains unclear, current indications suggest that the iPhone Ultra could either go on sale alongside the iPhone 18 Pro series or arrive within a few weeks of the flagship lineup. If any delay occurs, recent reports indicate that it would likely be limited to around one month rather than extending into 2027.

More details are expected to emerge as the company moves closer to its next major iPhone launch event.

iPhone 18 Pro Leak Points to Major Main Camera Upgrade, Reliability of Viral iPhone 18 Design Images Questioned

0

Highlights

  • iPhone 18 Pro is tipped to feature one of the biggest camera upgrades ever with a larger main module requiring a thicker rear panel.
  • Leaks suggest a variable aperture system may be included though detailed specs remain unclear.
  • Viral iPhone 18 design images circulating online are likely edited renders and not authentic prototypes, raising doubts about their reliability.

iPhone 18 Pro could bring one of the biggest camera upgrades seen on an iPhone in recent years, according to a series of new leaks. Rumours about the device have been circulating for months but the latest information now suggests that the primary camera may be the improvement to look forward to in the upcoming iPhone Pro models. At the same time, a wave of alleged iPhone 18 design leaks has appeared on social media but reports indicate that many of these images may not be authentic. Here are more details.

iPhone 18 Pro Main Camera Could Receive Significant Upgrade

In recent years, Apple has increasingly differentiated its Pro-series iPhones by offering more advanced camera systems. That trend is expected to continue with the iPhone 18 Pro.

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman recently stated that the iPhone 18 Pro lineup could feature “some of the biggest camera hardware upgrades in the lineup’s history.” However, there have been few details explaining what might justify such a major claim until now.

A new post from Weibo tipster Fixed Focus Digital may provide some answers. According to the tipster, the main camera upgrade planned for the iPhone 18 Pro has already been “confirmed.” The leak claims that the enhancement requires more than a 2mm increase in the thickness of the aluminium alloy rear panel area surrounding the camera system.

This suggests that the camera bump on the iPhone 18 Pro could become even larger than previously rumoured.

Larger Camera Module Reportedly Behind the Change

In response to a user comment, the same tipster stated that the increase in thickness is linked to an enlarged main camera module. While specific technical details have not yet surfaced, the report suggests that Apple may be introducing substantially larger internal camera components compared to those used in the iPhone 17 Pro.

Apart from a variable aperture system that has already been rumoured by multiple sources, no additional camera specifications have been revealed. However, the latest leak, combined with Gurman’s earlier comments points toward major improvements in image quality and camera performance.

Viral iPhone 18 Design Leaks May Not Be Real

Meanwhile, social media platforms have been flooded with images claiming to show Apple’s future iPhone 18 design. Many of these renders suggest that the standard iPhone 18 could adopt the camera layout of the iPhone 17 Pro while omitting the third telephoto camera.

Several well-known leaker accounts including MajinBu on X, have shared images allegedly showing a real iPhone 18 prototype already being tested. However, reports indicate that these images should be treated with caution.

With modern AI image-generation tools becoming increasingly sophisticated, distinguishing genuine leaks from edited images has become more difficult. However, scepticism has emerged regarding the authenticity of photos allegedly depicting a device that is still around nine months away from launch.

The origin of some of the viral images reportedly show that at least one silver “iPhone 18” image originated from the AppleLeaker account. The account itself reportedly clarified that the image was not an actual leak but rather an edited render created using the Object Eraser feature in macOS 27.


The image appears to be based on an iPhone 17 Pro with the third camera removed to visualise what a future iPhone 18 could look like if Apple reused the Pro model’s design. While such concept images are not unusual, problems arise when edited visuals are later presented as genuine leaks.

Reports suggest that many of the currently circulating iPhone 18 images fall into this category with no credible evidence currently supporting them as authentic prototypes.

Could the Standard iPhone 18 Borrow the Pro Design?

Although the current design leaks are reportedly not based on real hardware, the underlying idea is not entirely impossible. Apple has previously introduced features on Pro models before bringing them to standard iPhones a year later.

Examples include the Dynamic Island and the Action Button, both of which eventually expanded beyond the Pro lineup. As a result, some observers believe Apple could adopt elements of the iPhone 17 Pro camera design for the standard iPhone 18 in 2026.

However, simply carrying over a large Pro-style camera bar while removing the telephoto lens could create unnecessary space on the rear panel. Because of this, some reports suggest Apple may instead draw inspiration from the iPhone Air design language for the future iPhone 18.

The iPhone Air’s camera layout is expected to accommodate a dual-camera setup and may also influence the design of a future iPhone Ultra model.

As of now, there are no reliable leaks confirming the final design of the iPhone 18 and much of the speculation remains based on edited renders rather than actual hardware.
