Oppo has officially introduced its next-generation flagship lineup in India with the launch of the Oppo Find X9 and Find X9 Pro. The series brings major upgrades across performance, battery technology, imaging, and display, along with the brand’s latest Hasselblad-powered camera innovations. Alongside the phones, the brand has also introduced OPPO Enco Buds 3 Pro+ in the Indian market.

Here’s everything you need to know about the newly launched devices.

Oppo Find X9 and Find X9 Pro

The phones feature a flat-edged design with contoured frames, a new-generation flat display with 1.15mm symmetrical bezels, and a 120Hz panel offering up to 3600 nits peak brightness and ultra-low 1-nit minimum brightness. Durability is reinforced with IP66, IP68, and IP69 ratings.

Powering the Find X9 lineup is the new MediaTek Dimensity 9500, built on TSMC’s advanced 3nm architecture. Oppo claims up to 32% CPU performance boost (All-Big-Core design), up to 33% GPU performance boost (Arm G1-Ultra), 55% CPU efficiency improvement and 42% GPU efficiency improvement.

Thermal performance is managed by customised vapour chambers. The phones also get Oppo’s All-New Trinity Engine, co-developed with MediaTek introducing Chip-Level Dynamic Frame Sync, Unified Computing Power Model, and Sensor Offload. Oppo claims these improvements reduce power consumption by 16.1% during 4K 60fps HDR recording.

However, the Find X9 series stands out for its camera setup. The series debuts the enhanced Hasselblad Master Camera System, combining updated hardware with advanced computational photography for superior image quality.

The standard Find X9 sports a triple 50MP rear camera setup featuring a pro-grade 50MP main sensor using a 1/1.4-inch Sony LYT-808 sensor with an f/1.6 aperture for 57% improved light capture. This is paired with a 50MP ultra-wide camera with autofocus and a 50MP periscope telephoto lens powered by the 1/1.95-inch Sony LYT600 sensor. The system also brings an industry-first True Colour Camera with a dedicated spectral sensor for precise ambient light detection and improved colour fidelity.

On the other hand, the Find X9 Pro pushes imaging further with a customised 1/1.28-inch Sony LYT 828 sensor for its Ultra XDR Main Camera, equipped with Real-Time Triple Exposure technology. Its highlight is the 200MP Hasselblad Telephoto camera, developed jointly with Hasselblad. The sensor offers a 3x optical zoom, large 1/1.56-inch size, f/2.1 aperture, and a close 10cm minimum focus distance.

Oppo says the Active Optical Alignment process enhances clarity by an extra 15%.

Both phones integrate the new LUMO Image Engine, designed to boost clarity, dynamic range, and colour accuracy while reducing CPU and power usage by up to 50%. With this efficiency, the phones can default to capturing full-resolution 50MP images in bright daylight and automatically optimise resolution in low light. The series also debuts 4K Motion Photos, allowing users to extract 4K stills from videos.

The Find X9 Pro offers lossless zoom up to 13.2x by cropping into its 200MP sensor, while both models support up to 120x zoom with Oppo’s Super Zoom algorithm. A new Stage Mode is included for concert photography.

Both devices support 4K 120fps Dolby Vision HDR video with the Pro model extending this capability to its telephoto camera. Professional creators also get LOG video recording with ACES certification for colour grading workflows.

image

Oppo is also offering a Hasselblad Teleconverter Kit for the Find X9 Pro, turning the telephoto into a 10x optical super-zoom, enabling up to 200x digital zoom for photos and up to 50x for videos.

Battery is another major highlight. The Find X9 packs a 7025mAh battery inside an ultra-slim 7.99mm body, while the Find X9 Pro includes a larger 7500mAh unit. Both use Oppo’s third-gen Silicon-Carbon Battery technology with 15% silicon content, designed to retain 80% capacity even after five years of typical use.

Charging options include:

  • 80W SUPERVOOC™ fast charging
  • 50W AIRVOOC™ wireless charging
  • 10W reverse wireless charging

Earlier, the brand had confirmed that the device during the global launch event of the OnePlus 15. However, no one really anticipated its appearance this soon.

Previous reports suggested that the OnePlus 15R could be a rebadged version of the OnePlus Ace 6, which was recently unveiled in China. However, the design shown on the microsite points to some differences, especially around the camera setup.

On the Ace 6, the LED flash sits in a pill-shaped housing next to the main camera. In contrast, the OnePlus 15R features a circular LED flash placed beside the top camera sensor. The overall camera module maintains a vertically aligned rectangular layout with two sensors stacked vertically and rounded edges.

The teaser also highlights the volume rockers positioned on the right frame, while a button on the left side is likely the “Plus Key.” The microsite further confirms that the phone will ship with OxygenOS 16 out of the box.

As for the rumoured specifications, the OnePlus 15R is expected to feature a 6.7-inch OLED display with 1.5K resolution and a high-refresh 165Hz panel. Powering the device could be Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor, paired with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X Ultra RAM and as much as 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage.

More official information is expected to roll out soon as OnePlus prepares for the device’s formal launch.

X Chat Officially Rolls Out, Encrypted DMs, File Sharing, and Advanced Privacy Controls Go Live

0

Highlights

  • X Chat introduces end-to-end encryption for one-on-one and group chats, file sharing, voice/video calls, disappearing messages, and screenshot alerts.
  • It is now live on iOS and Web, while it is expected to come on Android soon.
  • Chats use device-linked public-private key pairs and local encryption.

image

Elon Musk’s X (previously known as Twitter) has now officially rolled out its new messaging experience called X Chat. As we previously reported, it is a privacy-focused upgrade to its previous direct messaging system. The new Chat interface merges traditional DMs with end-to-end encrypted chats and supports both one-on-one and group conversations.

As announced by Musk earlier, X Chat users can now share files, make voice and video calls, and soon send voice memos (a feature returning in an upcoming update). The platform also brings tools to edit or delete messages, set disappearing messages, get alerts when someone takes a screenshot, block screenshots entirely, and ensure all chats remain free from ads and tracking.

X Chat – Availability

Chat is now available on iOS and the Web with Android support set to roll out soon.

How Chat Handles Encryption and Device Security?

When a user opens Chat for the first time, X generates a public-private key pair linked to their account. The private key is secured by a PIN stored only on the device and can be restored on other devices using the same PIN. Every conversation is encrypted with a unique key and these keys are exchanged securely through users’ public-private key pairs.

Encrypted messages sync across multiple devices, but logging out removes encrypted chats and keys from that specific device. However, the private key can still be restored on another device through the PIN.

All content such as messages, reactions, files, and links is encrypted locally before sending and stays encrypted on X’s servers until the recipient decrypts it. X has confirmed that a detailed technical whitepaper explaining the encryption architecture will be published later in 2025.

Who Can Use X Chat?

To send or receive encrypted chats on X, users must

  • Use the latest version of X on iOS, Android, or the Web
  • Follow or subscribe to each other, have previously exchanged messages, or have accepted an encrypted DM before

Additionally, users can send encrypted message requests to:

  • People who have enabled the option to receive encrypted DMs from anyone
  • Verified users who allow encrypted messages from other Verified users

Security Constraints and Known Limitations

While group conversations and shared media are encrypted, certain metadata including timestamps and recipient details are not encrypted.

Other limitations include –

  • Forward secrecy is not yet supported; compromised device keys may reveal past messages
  • No protection against man-in-the-middle attacks yet, though future updates will add signature verification and “safety numbers”
  • Encrypted messages currently cannot be reported directly; users must report issues through the account instead

Message Controls and Grok Integration

Chat includes several message management features –

  • Delete / Unsend – Removes messages from recipients’ inboxes and syncs deletion across all devices
  • Disappearing Messages – Allows automatic deletion after a selected time interval
  • Grok Support – Users can analyse messages or images via Grok. However, any content sent to Grok is not encrypted, though the original chat remains encrypted.

FAQs

Q1. What is X Chat and what features does it offer?

Answer. X Chat is Elon Musk’s revamped messaging system on X (formerly Twitter), offering end-to-end encrypted one-on-one and group chats, file sharing, voice/video calls, disappearing messages, screenshot alerts, and ad-free communication.

Q2. How does encryption work in X Chat?

Answer. Each user gets a public-private key pair secured by a device PIN. Messages, files, and reactions are encrypted locally and stored encrypted on X’s servers. Encryption keys are exchanged securely and sync across devices, but logging out deletes them from that device.

Q3. Who can send or receive encrypted messages on X?

Answer. Users must follow or subscribe to each other, have exchanged messages before, or accept an encrypted DM. Verified users can also enable encrypted messages from other verified users or anyone, depending on their settings.

0

Highlights

  • WhatsApp’s Click to Chat feature lets users start chats using a direct link like https://wa.me/<number>.
  • Users can create links that open WhatsApp with a message already typed, either targeting a specific number or allowing contact selection.
  • Businesses and creators can embed WhatsApp’s official chat button on websites and apps.

WhatsApp now offers a convenient way to start conversations without saving a contact, making it ideal for quick interactions, business inquiries, or one-time chats. The feature works smoothly across smartphones and WhatsApp Web, allowing users to open a conversation simply by generating or tapping a link. This not only streamlines communication but also helps keep your contact list clutter-free.

Here’s how you can use this option to send WhatsApp messages without adding a number to your phonebook.

How to Send a WhatsApp Message Without Saving the Contact?

WhatsApp’s built-in Click to Chat tool lets you directly open a chat window with any phone number registered on WhatsApp.

Using Click to Chat –

  • To create your own link, use the following format – https://wa.me/<number>
  • Replace <number> with the complete phone number in international format, ensuring you remove symbols like brackets, dashes, or leading zeroes.

Examples:

Use – https://wa.me/1XXXXXXXXXX

Don’t use – https://wa.me/+001-(XXX)XXXXXXX

Tapping the link will take you directly to a chat window with that number inside WhatsApp.

Create a Link With a Pre-Filled Message

You can also generate a link that opens WhatsApp with a message already typed out.

Format – https://wa.me/whatsappphonenumber?text=urlencodedtext

(where whatsappphonenumber is the full number in international format, and urlencodedtext is the pre-filled message)

Example –

https://wa.me/1XXXXXXXXXX?text=I’m%20interested%20in%20your%20car%20for%20sale

If you want to create a link that only contains a message (without specifying a number), use:

https://wa.me/?text=urlencodedtext

Example – https://wa.me/?text=I’m%20inquiring%20about%20the%20apartment%20listing

After generating the link, tapping it will either allow you to choose a contact or send the message directly.

Using the Official “Chat on WhatsApp” Button

WhatsApp also provides a dedicated Chat on WhatsApp button designed for businesses, websites, and creators. This button follows WhatsApp’s branding guidelines, making it recognisable and trustworthy. It comes in green or white and is available in small, medium, and large sizes. Currently, the feature is available only in English.

Important Guidelines –

  • Use the button without altering its appearance
  • Download and apply the newest button design
  • Place the button in a clearly visible area for easy access

Common Placement Areas – Website landing pages, Contact pages, Mobile apps, Mobile website versions and Third-party templates

HTML Example – <a aria-label=”Chat on WhatsApp” href=”https://wa.me/1XXXXXXXXXX”>

  <img alt=”Chat on WhatsApp” src=”WhatsAppButtonGreenLarge.svg” />

</a>

Using WhatsApp’s Click to Chat links or the official button makes it easier to start conversations without saving temporary contacts. These tools simplify communication for both personal and business use, offering a fast and clutter-free way to connect.

FAQs

Q1. How can I send a WhatsApp message without saving a contact?

Answer. You can use WhatsApp’s Click to Chat feature by creating a link in this format: https://wa.me/<number>, replacing <number> with the full international phone number (no symbols or spaces).

Q2. Can I pre-fill a message in the WhatsApp link?

Answer. Yes, use this format: https://wa.me/<number>?text=urlencodedtext. For example:

https://wa.me/1XXXXXXXXXX?text=I’m%20interested%20in%20your%20car%20for%20sale.

Q3. What is the “Chat on WhatsApp” button and who is it for?

Answer. It’s an official WhatsApp button for websites, apps, and creators to let users start chats easily. It follows WhatsApp’s branding and is available in multiple sizes and colors.

Vivo has officially announced that its next S-series lineup, the Vivo S50 series, will debut in China in December. As expected, the company has skipped the S40 naming because the number 4 is considered inauspicious in China. The confirmation comes through a microsite on Vivo China Mall, although the brand has not yet disclosed the exact launch date or the specific models that will be introduced. Rumours suggest that the lineup may include the Vivo S50 and a Vivo S50 Pro Mini, following a pattern similar to the Vivo S30 and S30 Pro Mini.

Vivo S50 Series – What Else We Know?

Like we mentioned, the Chinese smartphone company has not shared any official specifications so far. However, reliable tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS) recently revealed key details on Weibo.

According to DCS, the Vivo S50 series is expected to feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, a processor still awaiting its official announcement. DCS also claimed that the series may use a Sony IMX882 main camera and include a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint 2.0 sensor.

Adding to this, Vivo Product Manager Han Boxiao has confirmed that the S50 lineup will offer LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage with speeds reaching up to 9600 Mbps. He also reiterated that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 SoC will power the series, though it is likely limited to the S50 Pro Mini.

Vivo S50 Pro Mini – Key Specs (Leaked)

In a separate post, Weibo tipster DCS revealed more detailed information about the S50 Pro Mini. The device is tipped to launch with the unannounced Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, which is set to debut first on the OnePlus Ace 6T. Vivo appears ready to follow immediately after.

image

Caption – Tipster DCS’s post on Weibo. (Screenshot by Gizmochina)

The S50 Pro Mini is said to sport a 6.3-inch flat display, putting it in the same size category as the iPhone Air. Despite being tagged as the “Mini,” the phone may feature a huge 6,500mAh battery, larger than many mainstream flagship models. The device is also rumoured to adopt a horizontal camera bar resembling the one on the iPhone Air. Within this module, Vivo will reportedly use a 50MP Sony IMX9-series primary sensor and a 50MP Sony IMX882 periscope telephoto lens.

Additional leaks mention an ultrasonic fingerprint reader and what DCS describes as “full-level” water resistance. This most likely means both IP68 and IP69 certifications. In the comments, the tipster added that both S50 models will feature a metal frame and a periscope telephoto camera.

Vivo has also confirmed that the S50 series will offer flagship-level performance thanks to LPDDR5X RAM (9600Mbps) and UFS 4.1 storage. Meanwhile, the standard Vivo S50 is rumoured to include a larger 6.59-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. Both phones may support 90W fast charging.

Vivo S50 May Launch Globally as Vivo V70

Vivo’s S-series typically reaches global markets under the V-series branding. For example, China’s Vivo S30 was launched internationally as the Vivo V60. Following this pattern, many tech enthusiasts are assuming that the Vivo S50 lineup may launch globally as the Vivo V70. However, conflicting reports have surfaced and further clarity is expected soon.

Meanwhile, a Vivo device featuring 90W fast charging appeared on China’s 3C certification website. As per reports, it most likely belongs to the upcoming S50 lineup. We can expect more official details from Vivo as the launch date approaches.

FAQs

Q1. When is the Vivo S50 series launching and why was the S40 skipped?

Answer. The Vivo S50 series is confirmed to launch in China in December 2025. Vivo skipped the “S40” name as the number 4 is considered unlucky in Chinese culture.

Q2. What are the key leaked specs of the Vivo S50 Pro Mini?

Apple May Split iPhone 18 Launches Across 2026 and 2027, Foldable iPhone Expected Next Year, Says Gurman

0

Highlights

  • Apple will split the iPhone 18 series launch across fall 2026 and spring 2027, starting with Pro models and its first foldable iPhone.
  • The standard iPhone 18, iPhone 18e, and iPhone Air 2 are expected to arrive in the second phase, between March and May 2027.
  • Apple aims to improve rollout quality by spreading launches across seasons, offering 5–6 models annually.

Apple’s upcoming iPhone lineup may follow a completely new launch strategy, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. Known for accurate Apple predictions, Gurman claims that the iPhone 18 series will not debut all at once. Instead, Apple is preparing a two-phase rollout that stretches across 2026 and 2027.

The shift is also expected to coincide with Apple’s entry into foldable smartphones and the introduction of new high-end designs.

iPhone 18 Pro, 18 Pro Max, and Foldable iPhone Expected in Fall 2026

In his latest Power On newsletter, Gurman reports that Apple will begin its new timeline in fall 2026, between September and November. During this window, the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and most notably, its first foldable iPhone. The foldable model is described as one of Apple’s most significant hardware launches in recent years.

This marks a major shift from Apple’s traditional fall cycle, which typically includes four models released together.

Standard iPhone 18, iPhone 18e, and iPhone Air 2 May Arrive in Spring 2027

The remaining models in the iPhone 18 lineup are tipped to launch in spring 2027, likely between March and May. This second phase could include:

  • iPhone 18 (standard model)
  • iPhone 18e
  • iPhone Air 2 (a refreshed version of Apple’s lighter)

The staggered release pattern means Apple will complete the full lineup over two separate events rather than concentrating everything in one season.

Why Apple Is Changing Its Release Strategy?

Gurman explains that the shift is part of a broader overhaul of Apple’s annual smartphone schedule. For years, Apple pushed out almost all new iPhone models during the fall season. This predictable but intense cycle included two Pro models, two mid-tier models, and sometimes an additional SE or “e” variant earlier in the year.

However, this approach reportedly placed heavy strain on Apple’s engineering, marketing, and supply chain teams. At the end, this pressure may have contributed to issues like the rocky rollout of Apple Intelligence in 2024. By distributing launches across multiple seasons starting in 2026, Apple aims to reduce internal bottlenecks, provide smoother feature rollouts, and give each device more focused development time.

According to Gurman, Apple is expected to release five to six iPhone models annually. The aim is to offer customers more options throughout the year rather than clustering them in the fall.

More updates are likely as Apple finalises details ahead of the 2026 cycle.

FAQs

Q1. Will all iPhone 18 models launch at the same time?

Answer. No. Apple is expected to split the iPhone 18 series launch across two phases, Pro models and the foldable iPhone in fall 2026, and standard models in spring 2027.

Q2. When is Apple expected to launch its first foldable iPhone?

Answer. According to Mark Gurman, Apple plans to debut its first foldable iPhone alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max between September and November 2026.

Q3. Why is Apple changing its iPhone release schedule?

Answer. Apple aims to reduce internal strain and improve product development by spreading launches across seasons, offering 5–6 models annually instead of clustering them in the fall.
