• Expected specs include 6.7″ AMOLED 120Hz display, Exynos 2500, 4,900mAh battery, 45W charging, Wi-Fi 6 and satellite connectivity.

Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S26 FE has once again surfaced in leaks revealing its possible launch date, new colour options, camera software features and key hardware details. The smartphone has also cleared the FCC certification process in the US, which suggests its official debut could be just around the corner.

Samsung Galaxy S26 FE Launch Timeline Tipped

According to tipster FireUniverse @fireuniverse8 on X, the Samsung Galaxy S26 FE is expected to launch on September 4, 2026, which matches earlier reports that hinted at a September unveiling for the Fan Edition smartphone.

Samsung Galaxy device Singapore launch date update:

S26FE launch on 4 Sept 2026

A08 LTE & A18 LTE launch in Oct 2026

S12 Ultra &S12+ launch on 7 October 2026

A18 5G & A08 5G launch in Jan to Feb 2027

— fireuniverse (@fireuniverse8) August 6, 2026

The tipster also shared the expected launch schedule for other upcoming Samsung devices. The Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra and Galaxy Tab S12+ are said to debut on October 7, 2026. Meanwhile, the LTE variants of the Galaxy A08 and Galaxy A18 are tipped to launch sometime in October 2026. Their 5G versions are expected to arrive a few months later, likely in January and February 2027.

Samsung Galaxy S26 FE – Horizontal Lock Camera Feature

The latest leaked firmware suggests that the Galaxy S26 FE could receive one of Samsung’s newest video recording features called Horizontal Lock.

A firmware discovered by SammyGuru includes a flag named

SUPPORT_SUPER_STEADY_HORIZONTAL_LOCK, which is set to “true.” This indicates that Samsung is actively testing the feature for the Galaxy S26 FE. Horizontal Lock first debuted on the Galaxy S26 series and was later introduced on the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Galaxy Z Flip 8.

The feature works together with Samsung’s existing Super Steady video stabilisation. It keeps video footage level even when the phone is tilted or rotated by using the device’s gyroscope and accelerometer to make real-time corrections. This helps users capture smoother and more stable videos without requiring a separate gimbal, making it useful for walking videos, action shots, and casual vlogging.

Since Horizontal Lock is a software-based feature rather than a hardware upgrade, Samsung appears to be expanding it across more Galaxy smartphones. Reports also suggest that older Galaxy S25 models could receive the feature later through the One UI 9 update, indicating Samsung’s plan to make it a standard camera tool across its lineup.

The same firmware also revealed an update banner prepared for One UI 9.5. While this does not confirm that the Galaxy S26 FE will launch with that software version, it shows Samsung has already started preparing assets for the future interface.

Samsung Galaxy S26 FE – FCC Certification and New Colours Revealed

The Galaxy S26 FE has also appeared in new high-resolution leaked renders showing three colour options including Black, Green, and Purple.

The design closely follows the standard Galaxy S26 as it features a single rear camera island that houses all three camera sensors, while the LED flash is placed beside the module. On the front, the smartphone sports a flat display with slim bezels, a centred punch-hole selfie camera, and a slightly thicker bottom bezel.

Samsung Galaxy S26 FE clears FCC certification.

The handset has now cleared FCC certification in the US, which is generally one of the final regulatory approvals before a smartphone goes on sale.

Although the FCC documents do not reveal the main processor, they confirm that Samsung is using a Qualcomm Wi-Fi chip, marking a change from the all-Exynos setup used on the Galaxy S25 FE. Earlier Geekbench listings suggest that the smartphone itself will still be powered by Samsung’s Exynos 2500 chipset.

The certification also confirms support for 45W wired fast charging, wireless charging, NFC, Wi-Fi 6, and satellite connectivity. Reports further suggest that the Galaxy S26 FE could retain the 4,900mAh battery from its predecessor while featuring a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a 120Hz refresh rate.

With leaked renders, firmware discoveries, and FCC certification now in place, the Galaxy S26 FE appears to be in the final stages of testing. In Europe, the 128GB variant is tipped to carry a starting price of €799, which is around €50 higher than the previous-generation Galaxy S25 FE.

• Vivo has recently launched the Vivo S2 in the Indian market.
• The Vivo S2 starts at Rs 39,999, and comes with a curved display and a sleek design.
• Although the Vivo S2 represents quite a compelling option for those looking for a good phone, it faces a number of challengers in its price segment. We shortlist four of the best.

Vivo recently launched the Vivo S2 in India, bringing back its design-forward S series.

The phone, which has a very eye-catching design and mid-segment specs you can read our first impressions at vivo-s2-first-impressions-seven-things-to-note-about-vivos-stylish-new-phone, comes with a starting price of Rs. 39,999.

While it is an extremely attractive proposition, with its very Pixel-esque design, curvy sides and curved display, and decent mod-segment processor, it still faces a lot of competition in the crowded mid-segment of the Indian smartphone market.

If you are considering the Vivo S2 as your next device, we would advise you to check out these four phones before making up your mind:

Redmi Turbo 5: For those seeking more power

Rs 37,999 onwards

One of the biggest headaches for the Vivo S2 is the recently launched Redmi Turbo 5.

In best Redmi tradition, the phone not only comes with a highly competitive spec sheet but actually comes with a lower price tag – it comes with a starting price of Rs. 37,999.

For this price, you get a much more powerful Dimensity 8500 processor, with faster LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage, as well as a bigger 7540 mAh battery with faster 100 W charging support.

While it is not as sleek as the Vivo S2, the lights around its camera unit will attract attention.

Mind you, the Vivo S2 has a bigger display and more megapixels on the front, but the spec-scale leans more towards the Redmi Turbo 5.

Motorola Edge 70 Pro: The camera captain

Rs 39,999 onwards

It is kind of rare to see a Motorola phone that outguns a similarly priced Vivo one in terms of cameras.

The Motorola Edge 70 Pro, however, seems to do just that. The phone officially costs as much as the Vivo S2 (although it is available at lower prices at some outlets), and is not only powered the more powerful Mediatek Dimensity 8500 Extreme processor, but also brings three 50 megapixel sensors on the back and another 50 megapixel one on the front to the camera battle.

The battery on the device is slightly smaller than the one of the Vivo S2 and it is rather plain looking, but comes with 90W fast charging support and also has IP68/ IP69 dust and water resistance.

Not a style icon like the Vivo S2, but megapixel lovers will love this.

OnePlus Nord CE6: Those who Never Settle and prefer Oxygen(OS)

Rs 34,999 onwards

Another phone that could be a potential headache for the Vivo S2 is the OnePlus Nord CE6.

Even though it has received a few price bumps recently, the Nord CE6 still comes with a much lower starting price of Rs. 34,999 which in itself is a big plus.

It also comes with a very elegant design, and runs on the very good Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Generation 4 processor.

It too has a 50 megapixel sensor on the back, a 32 megapixel one on the front, and comes with a tall display, which is almost as big as the Vivo S2 and has a higher 144 Hz refresh rate, although it is a flat one.

Also onboard is a much bigger 8000 mAh battery and faster 80W charging too.

And running on top of everything is OxygenOS, which has a fanbase of its own.

Nothing Phone 4(a): Nothing like anything

Rs 42,999 onwards

If you are in the market for a phone which turns heads, there is perhaps only one device in the Rs 40,000 segment that will not only turn heads more than the Vivo S2 but also keep eyes glued to it – the Nothing Phone 4(a).

It comes with the transparent-ish back with LED lights (called Glyph interface) that Nothing is famous for, as well as a very clean, uncluttered UI with retro feels.

Add to that a very good triple camera set up on the back (with two 50 megapixel cameras, including a periscope telephoto, which is rare), and a 32 megapixel selfie camera, and the Nothing Phone (4a) is perhaps the only phone out there that can not only match the head turning ability of the Vivo S2 but also outgun it in specs (it runs on the very good Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chip).

That said, it has a much smaller battery and no charger in the box, and also has a slightly higher price tag!

iQOO has officially confirmed the launch date of its next Neo-series smartphone, iQOO Neo 11 Ultra. The announcement comes after several reports suggested that the company was preparing to launch a new Neo-series device in China. Here’s more on what we know so far.

iQOO Neo 11 Ultra Launch Date Confirmed

The iQOO Neo 11 Ultra is scheduled to be unveiled in China on August 10. Apart from confirming the launch date and the official name, the company has not shared any additional details about the smartphone.

Previously, rumours referred to the handset as the iQOO Neo 11S as it was expected to be a minor upgrade over the existing Neo 11. However, the brand has now revealed that the upcoming model will carry the iQOO Neo 11 Ultra branding.

iQOO Neo 11 Ultra – Expected Specifications

The alleged iQOO Neo 11 Ultra was previously spotted on the Geekbench benchmarking platform in June with the model number V2545A. The benchmark listing suggested that the device is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset. However, reports indicate that iQOO may use a customised version of the processor.

The Geekbench listing also revealed that the phone will feature 16GB of RAM and run on Android 16. In addition, the same model appeared on China’s 3C certification platform to confirm support for 100W fast charging.

Reports have also suggested that the iQOO Neo 11 Ultra will be offered in multiple storage variants, including 12GB RAM + 256GB storage, 12GB + 512GB, 16GB + 256GB, and 16GB + 512GB.

• The foldable has also appeared on NBTC, SDPPI, and EEC listings, signalling its international debut is close.
• It is likely to mirror China variant in terms of specification and launch could happen in India by October 2026.

Vivo X Fold 6 has taken another step towards its global debut. After appearing on multiple certification platforms in recent months, the upcoming Vivo foldable has now been spotted on the Bluetooth SIG certification database, indicating that its international launch could be getting closer. Here are more details.

Vivo X Fold 6 Appears on Bluetooth SIG

According to tipster Anvin @ZionsAnvin on X, the Vivo X Fold 6 carrying the V2559 model number has received Bluetooth SIG certification.

The certification does not reveal any new hardware specifications of the smartphone. However, it confirms that the device complies with Bluetooth standards including support for Bluetooth specifications related to audio codecs, LE Audio, and Auracast. It also gives Vivo the official permission to use the Bluetooth name and logo in the phone’s packaging and marketing materials.

While Bluetooth SIG is not a government regulatory approval, it is a mandatory industry certification that ensures Bluetooth-enabled devices meet compatibility and quality standards within the Bluetooth ecosystem.

The latest Bluetooth SIG listing follows several earlier certifications for the Vivo X Fold 6. The global variant was recently spotted on Thailand’s NBTC certification platform, suggesting that its international launch is approaching. Before that, the smartphone also appeared on Indonesia’s SDPPI certification database.

Moreover, the same model number was listed on the European EEC certification platform in April.

Vivo X Fold 6 – What Else We Know?

If previous reports are accurate, the global version of the Vivo X Fold 6 will retain the same hardware as the model already launched in China.

The smartphone is expected to feature an 8.02-inch AMOLED foldable inner display along with a 6.51-inch AMOLED cover display. It is likely to be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 Super chipset. It is also rumoured to pack a 7,000mAh battery with support for 80W wired fast charging and 40W wireless charging.

For photography, the foldable is expected to feature a Zeiss-tuned triple rear camera system, comprising a 200-megapixel primary camera, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide sensor, and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera. It is also tipped to include two 20-megapixel selfie cameras with one housed on the cover display and the other on the foldable inner screen.

Other expected features include IP58 and IP59 ratings for dust and water resistance, which could make the Vivo X Fold 6 one of the most durable foldable smartphones in the premium segment.

According to previous reports, the Vivo X Fold 6 could make its debut in India in October 2026. The foldable is expected to arrive as Vivo’s next flagship foldable smartphone and is tipped to be priced at over Rs 1,05,000 in the country.

• Samsung’s new 200MP ISOCELL HPC debuts DeepPix pixel design for brighter HDR, reduced noise, and better low‑light shots.
• It supports single‑frame 16‑bit HDR across multiple zoom levels, plus 8K@30fps, 4K@180fps and FHD@360fps video recording.
• Other specs include 1/1.3″ format, 0.6μm pixels, Tetra²pixel filter, Super QPD autofocus, Smart‑ISO Pro HDR and microlens + ARL tech for improved clarity.

Samsung has introduced its latest 200MP ISOCELL HPC smartphone camera sensor with several improvements focused on HDR photography, zoom performance, low-light imaging, and video recording. The new sensor features Samsung’s first DeepPix pixel architecture, which is designed to capture more light and deliver better overall image quality.

Samsung ISOCELL HPC Gets DeepPix Technology

The new ISOCELL HPC is based on Samsung’s ISOCELL technology but debuts the company’s new DeepPix architecture. According to Samsung, the new pixel design increases the Full Well Capacity (FWC) by 60 percent over the previous generation. This is achieved through Front Deep Trench Isolation (FDTI) technology, which expands both the photodiode capacity and the shared floating diffusion.

As a result, the sensor is able to collect more light while reducing image noise, producing brighter highlights, deeper shadows, and a wider dynamic range in HDR images.

Samsung says the ISOCELL HPC also supports single-frame 16-bit HDR, enabling up to four times richer color expression compared to conventional HDR imaging. Instead of combining multiple exposures, the sensor captures HDR information in a single frame, helping preserve natural colours and fine details even in difficult lighting conditions such as bright sunlight or strong backlighting.

For video recording, the new sensor supports 8K video recording at 30fps and 4K video recording at up to 180fps. It can also record Full HD videos at up to 360fps without autofocus.

HDR Support Across Multiple Xoom Levels

One of the key highlights of the ISOCELL HPC is its HDR support across multiple in-sensor zoom levels. While many existing smartphone camera sensors limit HDR to certain zoom ranges, Samsung’s new sensor extends single-frame HDR support across 1x, 1.5x, 2x, 3x, and 4x zoom levels.

The sensor also uses intelligent in-sensor downscaling to maintain image quality and dynamic range throughout the zoom range, offering more consistent results at different focal lengths.

Samsung ISOCELL HPC Specifications

The Samsung ISOCELL HPC features a 1/1.3-inch optical format with 0.6μm pixels and an effective resolution of 16,384 × 12,288 pixels. It comes equipped with Samsung’s Tetra²pixel colour filter, Super QPD autofocus, and Smart-ISO Pro HDR technology. The sensor supports RAW10, RAW12, RAW14, and RAW16 output formats.

Samsung has also added High Precision Microlens and High Transmittance ARL technologies, which help direct more light to each photodiode while reducing reflections. These technologies are expected to improve image clarity and colour accuracy across different lighting conditions.

As of now, it is unclear which device will be the first to feature the new 200MP ISOCELL HPC sensor.

Realme has already confirmed that the Realme 16x 5G will launch in India on August 12 at 12 PM IST. Ahead of its debut, a fresh leak has revealed new details about the upcoming smartphone. Tipster Sanju Choudhary @saaaanjjjuuu has shared an image that appears to show the retail box of the handset. Here are more details.

Realme 16x 5G – Retail Box MRP Surfaces Online

According to the tipster post, the leaked image shows the rear side of the Realme 16x 5G retail box. The image reveals the 6GB + 128GB variant with the model number RMX5270.

The leak reveals that the box MRP is Rs 54,999. However, this is unlikely to be the actual retail price, as smartphone brands often mention a much higher MRP on retail packaging than the expected market price.

The leaked retail box also reveals the accessories that will be included inside the package. Buyers can expect to get the handset, charger, USB data cable, SIM ejector tool, quick start guide, and a protective case in the box.

Since the device is reportedly positioned as an offline-focused model, the tipster believes it could launch at a price of under Rs 30,000.

Highlights:

• Redmi has officially released the Redmi Note 17 5G in the Indian market, and it goes on sale from Vivo has just released the Vivo S2 in the Indian market.
• The Redmi Note 17 5G is actually the second series of Redmi Note series to be launched this year – the Redmi 15 series was launched earlier this year.
• The Redmi 17 5G starts at Rs 27,999, and goes on sale on 12 August, 2026. Here is a quick look at seven notable features of the new Note.

There is a new Note in the Indian tech market, and we have it in our hands – the Redmi Note 17 5G. The Note series has been famous for its steady performance, making it the daily driver of millions of user. We will be seeing if the Redmi Note 17 5G (henceforth referred to as “Redmi Note 17” for reasons of brevity) continues this legacy, but as we get on with our review, here are seven features of the latest Note worth, well, noting:

Yes, it is another Note this year (no Note 16)

Xiaomi generally launches one Note series every year, but we are seeing two Note series in 2026. The Note 15 had been launched right at the beginning of the year, and now we have the Note 17.The Note series has also gone right from 15 to 17, skipping 16!

A massive AMOLED display at that price!

At a time when many brands are bringing LCD displays at the Rs 25,000 – Rs 30,000 price point, the Redmi Note 17 features a massive and brilliant AMOLED display. It is 6.9 inches in size and comes with 120 Hz refresh rate and FHD+ resolution. Very impressive, given soaring prices these days.

Monster battery

Xiaomi has referred to the Redmi Note 17 as “mAhster Edition.” And with good reason – the phone comes with a large 8000 mAh battery. The battery uses Silicon Carbon technology, allowing the phone to be 8.4 mm slim. Its charging speed is a rather modest 45W, although it can charge other devices at 22.5 W, which gives us proper power bank vibes! There is a 45W charger in the box too.

A spec sheet that fights on strong basics

That large display and high capacity battery apart, the Redmi Note 17 has broadly mid-segment specs. It runs on a lower mid-segment Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Generation 4 processor, and comes with 128 GB UFS 2.2 storage (expandable) and 6 GB and 8 GB of LPDDR4X RAM.

Photography is handled by a 50 megapixel main camera (no OIS) and a basic secondary sensor, with selfies being the responsibility of a 8 megapixel front facing camera.

There is an in-display fingerprint scanner and an IR port, and a single (impressively loud) speaker handles sound. The Redmi Note 17 runs on HyperOS 3 with features like HyperIsland (a sort of Dynamic Island), on top of Android 16, with an assurance of 4 years of software updates and 6 years of security patches. This is a phone specced for daily life than for benchmarks.

Big “phablet” vibes!

The Redmi Note 17 is a pretty big phone – it is 169.7 mm tall, which makes it one of the tallest in the market, and at 79.14 mm is wide as well. Although it is on the slim side at 8.4 mm and at 225 grams, relatively light for its size, this is really what many of us called a phablet – a blend of a tablet and a phone!

Shimmering, eye-catching design

It might be big, but the Redmi Note 17 is beautiful too. The phone is available in three shades – Starlight Purple, Dark Night and Arctic Blue. We got the Starlight Purple unit and its shimmering back, which shows shiny star trails at certain angles got a lot of attention.

The shimmer is a touch of class for what is otherwise a straight forward design, with a front dominated by a large, flat display and straight sides. The back and frame are carbonate but the front comes with Gorilla Glass 7i protection and the phone itself has an IP65 rating, which means it can survive splashes of water easily.

Higher price, but stronger than ever basics

The Redmi Note 17 starts at Rs 27,999 for its 6 GB/ 128 GB variant, with a 8 GB/ 128 GB variant priced at Rs 30,999. This is significantly higher than the Redmi Note 15 which had launched earlier this year from Rs 22,999 onwards, but then so much has changed price-wise since those times.

Stay tuned for a detailed review.
