Xiaomi is reportedly preparing to introduce its next affordable flagship lineup, the Redmi K90 series. According to reports, the Redmi K90 Pro is expected to launch globally as the Poco F8 Ultra, and new leaks suggest it will pack a powerful, flagship-grade camera system. Here’s what we know so far.

Poco F8 Ultra To Get Flagship Camera Setup

According to Digital Chat Station, a well-known and reliable tipster on Weibo, the Poco F8 Ultra will feature an advanced periscope telephoto camera. Earlier reports indicated that this would be the Samsung ISOCELL JN5 sensor, a 50MP 1/2.76-inch sensor, previously seen in the Poco F7 Ultra.

However, Xiaomi is expected to pair the sensor with a periscope lens this time, allowing for a greater optical zoom range compared to the 2.5x zoom offered by its predecessor.

The leak also mentions that this periscope sensor will be accompanied by a 50MP primary camera featuring a 1/1.3-inch sensor, which is significantly larger than the one used in the F7 Ultra. This main camera was previously rumoured to be the OVX9500 sensor, hinting at improved light capture and detail quality.

Meanwhile, a past report from XiaomiTime suggested that Xiaomi will use the OV50M sensor, another 50MP sensor with a 1/2.88-inch size for the ultrawide shooter. This marks a clear upgrade from the 32MP 1/3.42-inch ultrawide camera on the Poco F7 Ultra, promising sharper and wider field-of-view images.

Digital Chat Station also added that the Poco F8 Ultra could include support for telephoto macro photography, a feature that enables users to take detailed close-up shots without physically moving closer to the subject.

Poco F8 Ultra – Expected Launch Timeline

Xiaomi has not yet revealed official details about this Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5-powered flagship. However, reports suggest that the Redmi K90 Pro and consequently the Poco F8 Ultra will debut in October 2025.

If these leaks hold true, the Poco F8 Ultra is shaping up to be one of the most camera-focused smartphones in the Poco lineup. It also means the phone will be offering a versatile triple setup with high-end optical zoom, improved low-light performance, and macro capabilities, all at a potentially more accessible price point.

FAQs

Q1. What camera setup is expected on the Poco F8 Ultra?

Answer. The Poco F8 Ultra is tipped to feature a triple 50MP camera system, including a periscope telephoto lens, a large 1/1.3-inch main sensor, and a 50MP ultrawide shooter.

Q2. What improvements does the Poco F8 Ultra offer over the F7 Ultra?

Answer. Compared to the F7 Ultra, the F8 Ultra may offer better optical zoom, improved low-light performance, and sharper ultrawide shots thanks to upgraded sensors.

Q3. When is the Poco F8 Ultra expected to launch?

Answer. While not officially confirmed, reports suggest the Poco F8 Ultra, based on the Redmi K90 Pro, could debut globally in October 2025.

HMD appears to be gearing up for its first new Nokia-branded device under the renewed deal. For those unaware, this is after HMD Global’s recent extension of its licensing agreement with Nokia. According to the latest leaks, this upcoming product could be a second-generation version of the Nokia 800 Tough. Yes, this is the same rugged feature phone that was first launched by the brand back in 2019. Here’s what we know so far.

Nokia 800 Tough (2nd Gen) On Its Way?

As per a reliable HMD and Nokia tipster HMD_MEME’S @smashx_60 on X (formerly Twitter), the new device will serve as a successor to the original Nokia 800 Tough. The phone was known for its extreme durability and rugged design. However, the changes in this updated model are said to be fairly minimal.

The X post reveals that the Nokia 800 Tough (2nd Gen) will replace the outdated microUSB port with a USB Type-C connector and run KaiOS 3.1, an upgrade from the KaiOS 2.5.2 version found in its predecessor.

A leaked render of the upcoming model suggests a nearly identical look to the original. It shows the phone featuring a single rear camera, LED flash, and speaker grille on the back. In line with the series’ reputation, the phone is also expected to maintain IP68 water and dust resistance and MIL-STD-810G military-grade durability certification. All these features made the first-gen model stand out among rugged feature phones.

Expected Price and Availability

As of now, the pricing and launch details for the new Nokia 800 Tough have not yet been revealed.

The original model was introduced at €110. And if HMD maintains a similar positioning, the upcoming refresh could arrive in the same affordable range, catering to users seeking a durable, no-nonsense feature phone.

It featured a 2MP rear camera, along with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.1, GPS, and a 2,100mAh battery that delivered impressive standby times.

If the leak proves accurate, the Nokia 800 Tough (2nd Gen) will likely be more of a light refresh than a full redesign, offering modest updates while retaining the tried-and-tested rugged appeal of the original.

FAQs

Q1. Is HMD launching a new Nokia 800 Tough phone?

Answer. Yes, HMD is reportedly working on a second-generation Nokia 800 Tough, following its renewed licensing deal with Nokia. It’s expected to retain the rugged design of the original.

The Apple iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max have continued to make headlines since their launch, both for their impressive upgrades and emerging issues. While Apple’s latest Pro models have earned praise for performance, they’re now facing criticism for a new camera-related problem linked to the redesigned flash placement. Here’s the full story.

iPhone 17 Pro Flash Issue

A fresh concern has surfaced regarding the camera flash. With the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, Apple moved the flash module away from the main camera cluster. It is a design change that appears to be causing unintended issues.

According to Instagram user Marcustechnology, the repositioned flash casts visible shadows on the subject when taking photos or videos, resulting in footage that “looks off.” This issue has not been reported in any previous iPhone models, as their flash was traditionally placed right next to the camera module.

A post shared by Marcus Ng (@marcustechnology)

Explaining the issue, the creator noted, “it kind of looks like someone is holding a light from the corner, and it’s honestly super annoying.”

The original Instagram reel posted by the creator showcases the problem in action, highlighting how the new flash placement may be affecting photo and video quality for some users.

As of now, Apple has not officially commented on the issue, but it’s becoming another talking point among early adopters of the iPhone 17 Pro lineup.

Earlier, users and creators widely criticised the iPhone 17 Pro series for its aluminium frame, claiming it scratches more easily than expected. At the same time, the devices have also been lauded for their powerful new chip, which boasts a significantly improved GPU, better thermal management with an upgraded vapour chamber, and the ability to handle AAA games without throttling.

Meanwhile, some users have even gone to extremes by attaching external SSD coolers for active cooling to push performance limits further.

FAQs

Q1. What is the flash-related issue reported with the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max?

Answer. Users have noticed that the repositioned flash module casts unwanted shadows on subjects in photos and videos, making the output appear unnatural or “off.”

Q2. How is the iPhone 17 Pro’s flash placement different from previous models?

Answer. Unlike earlier iPhones, where the flash was placed next to the camera module, the iPhone 17 Pro series features a relocated flash, which seems to be causing lighting inconsistencies.

Q3. Has Apple responded to the flash issue on the iPhone 17 Pro?

Answer. As of now, Apple has not officially commented on the flash-related shadow problem, though it’s gaining attention among early adopters and content creators.

0

Highlights

  • The Motorola Edge 70 was revealed in a leaked promo video.
  • It boasts a sub-6mm thickness and sleek metallic finish in three Pantone shades, rivalling the slimmest phones like iPhone Air and Galaxy S25 Edge.

Motorola appears ready to make a strong comeback in the ultra-slim smartphone category. The upcoming Motorola Edge 70 has been revealed to be one of the thinnest smartphones ever made. A leaked promotional video recently went viral online and gave us the first detailed glimpse of the device. Here’s what we know so far.

Motorola Edge 70 – Ultra Thin Design

Recently, popular tipster Evan Blass @evleaks on X (formerly Twitter) posted the promo video of the upcoming Motorola Edge 70. The 30-second teaser clip showcases the Edge 70’s razor-thin profile, emphasising its sleek design with close-up side shots that highlight just how slim the frame is. Despite its minimal thickness, Motorola seems focused on maintaining a stylish and premium aesthetic.

It reportedly measures under 6mm thick and will be placed in direct competition with the iPhone Air (5.6mm) and Galaxy S25 Edge (5.8mm).

The phone in the video is shown in three vibrant Pantone shades, which are Bronze Green, Gadget Grey, and Lily Pad. Each model can be seen featuring a glossy metallic finish that gives the device a modern, eye-catching appeal.

Motorola Edge 70 – Camera Setup and Features

The leaked video also provides clues about the Edge 70’s rear camera system.

Text near the LED flash module confirms that the main sensor features 50MP resolution, 2.0µm pixels, and optical image stabilisation (OIS) support. Alongside it sits an ultrawide lens with a 120-degree field of view, offering a broad perspective for landscape and group shots.

There are three visible cutouts on the rear camera island (excluding the flash), but with no mention of a telephoto lens, the setup appears similar to the Edge 60’s design. This suggests Motorola is prioritising a thin form factor over optical zoom functionality, a compromise also seen in Apple’s and Samsung’s latest ultra-slim flagships.

Motorola Edge 70 – Expected Specs and Global Launch

The Motorola Edge 70 is expected to be the global variant of the Moto X70 Air, which is reportedly set to debut in China later this month.

Based on the leak, the device will feature a flat display with ultra-narrow bezels, a dedicated AI shortcut button, and a dual rear camera system combining a 50MP primary lens with a 120° ultra-wide sensor.

FAQs

Answer. The Edge 70 features an ultra-thin profile reportedly under 6mm, showcased in a leaked promo video. It comes in three Pantone shades with a glossy metallic finish.

Q2. What camera setup is expected on the Motorola Edge 70?

Answer. It includes a 50MP main sensor with 2.0µm pixels and OIS, paired with a 120° ultra-wide lens. There’s no mention of a telephoto lens, suggesting a slim-focused design.

Q3. Is the Motorola Edge 70 launching globally?

Answer. Yes, it’s expected to be the global variant of the Moto X70 Air, which is set to debut in China soon. The Edge 70 will feature a flat display, narrow bezels, and an AI shortcut button.
