Meanwhile, tipster Digital Chat Station posted another image of the S50 on Weibo, hinting at a triple rear camera system. The lenses appear to be arranged inside a squircle-shaped module positioned at the top-left corner of the back panel.

This follows earlier confirmation that the Vivo S50 series will feature a Sony IMX882 periscope telephoto sensor sized at 1/1.95 inches, offering 50 megapixels. The camera will also support a “clear and natural portrait algorithm”, typically found on Vivo’s flagship devices. Another report recently indicated that the lineup may include a 50MP main camera using Sony’s LYT700V 1/1.56-inch sensor with optical image stabilisation (OIS).

According to earlier reports, the S50 may feature a 6.59-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The rear camera setup is expected to include the same Sony IMX882 50MP periscope telephoto lens mentioned earlier. Other specifications remain under wraps for now.

New Motorola Leak Likely Points to Moto G Power (2026), Not Moto G Stylus (2026)

0

Highlights

  • Renders initially thought to show the Moto G Stylus (2026) are now believed to depict the Moto G Power (2026).
  • The device keeps Motorola’s familiar flat-edge design, punch-hole selfie camera and rear camera layout with refreshed blue and cream colour options.
  • An early 2026 debut is likely, though hardware upgrades remain unclear.

A recent Motorola leak that many believed was the first look at the upcoming Moto G Stylus (2026) may have been misidentified. The Motorola leak has caused all sorts of confusion online with contradictory claims. Here’s the full story.

New Motorola Leak

A set of clean Motorola renders surfaced last week in an Xpertpick article via tipster @Sudhanshu1414 on X (formerly Twitter).  These live images were initially reported as the successor to the Moto G Stylus (2025). However, reliable tipster Evan Blass @evleaks on X now suggests that the device shown in those images is actually the Moto G Power (2026).

This new claim aligns with earlier clues. Back in May, Android Headlines spotted promotional material featuring the same blue and cream colour options. Those images were specifically linked to the Moto G Power series. The fresh leak appears to reinforce that connection.

What New Motorola Renders Reveal?

In terms of design, Motorola doesn’t seem to be shaking things up. The device retains the brand’s familiar design approach with flat edges, a centred punch-hole selfie camera and a recognisable rear camera layout. The biggest change so far comes in the form of updated colour choices, which replace the options offered with the Moto G Power (2025) and give the phone a cleaner, refreshed appearance.

Motorola typically launches new G Power models in the early months of the year, so an early 2026 debut remains a strong possibility. For now, key hardware details remain under wraps. It’s unclear whether the Moto G Power (2026) will receive upgrades such as a larger battery, a faster chipset, or other meaningful improvements.

For fans hoping for a major design overhaul or significant reinvention, expectations should remain modest. Motorola appears committed to its proven formula of a budget-friendly phone with a big battery. We might, however, get while introduced with minor visual updates to keep the series desirable well into next year.

FAQs

Q1. Was the recent Motorola leak about the Moto G Stylus (2026)?

Answer. No, reliable tipster Evan Blass suggests the renders actually show the Moto G Power (2026), not the Moto G Stylus.

Q2. What design details were revealed in the leaked Motorola renders?

Answer. The phone retains Motorola’s familiar design with flat edges, a centred punch-hole selfie camera, and a recognisable rear camera layout, along with new blue and cream colour options.

Q3. When is the Moto G Power (2026) expected to launch?

Answer. Motorola typically launches new G Power models in the early months of the year, so an early 2026 debut is likely, though hardware upgrades remain unconfirmed.

Chinese Smartphone Brands Scraped Ultra-Thin Phone Plans After iPhone Air’s Weak Sales: Report

0

Highlights

  • Apple’s ultra-thin iPhone Air faced sluggish demand, leading to production cuts by Foxconn and Luxshare.
  • Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, and others have reportedly cancelled or postponed their own ultra-thin smartphone projects.

It seems the trend of ultra-slim smartphones is slowing down before it could actually take off. According to recent reports, several major Chinese smartphone makers are reportedly pausing or abandoning their ultra-thin smartphone projects after witnessing the underwhelming market response to Apple’s iPhone Air. Here’s the full story.

Are Chinese Makers Scrapping Ultra-Thin Smartphone Projects?

According to fresh reports from Asia, the disappointing performance of the iPhone Air has prompted companies like Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo and others to rethink their strategies in this category.

Caption – iPhone Air. (Image credit – Apple)

Since the iPhone Air’s debut in September, industry reports have highlighted sluggish sales and subsequent production cuts. Apple’s supply chain partners have also scaled back operations. Foxconn has reportedly dismantled all production lines dedicated to the iPhone Air, while Luxshare is said to have ended production by late October.

The lack of consumer interest appears to have had a ripple effect in the industry. Several competing smartphone brands that were developing their own ultra-thin “Air-style” devices have now either cancelled or postponed those plans. These companies have also begun reallocating eSIM components originally meant for these models to other product lines.

Xiaomi was reportedly working on a “true Air model” to take on Apple directly, and Vivo planned to push thinness further within its mid-range S series. Both brands have allegedly halted these initiatives, although neither has issued an official statement on the matter.

iPhone Air

Apple introduced the iPhone Air as its first major design overhaul since the iPhone X brought Face ID and an all-screen front back in 2017. To achieve a 5.6mm profile, however, Apple made notable compromises. The device features a smaller battery and a single rear camera, yet carries a premium price tag.

The iPhone Air at $999 has been criticised for offering less value compared to the $1,099 iPhone 17 Pro, which delivers longer battery life and a triple-camera setup. Many buyers view the Air as prioritising style over real-world functionality.

According to a report from The Information, Apple has now paused work on the next-generation iPhone Air. The company is said to be redesigning the device to improve battery life and possibly add a second rear camera.

Meanwhile, a similar trend is reportedly unfolding at Samsung. Poor sales of the ultra-thin Galaxy S25 Edge have allegedly led Samsung to stop production and even cancel the planned Galaxy S26 Edge.

FAQs

Q1. Why are Chinese smartphone makers abandoning ultra-thin phone projects?

Answer. Major brands like Xiaomi, Oppo, and Vivo are reportedly halting or postponing ultra-thin models after Apple’s iPhone Air saw weak sales and production cuts, showing limited consumer interest.

Q2. What compromises did Apple make with the iPhone Air design

Answer. To achieve a slim 5.6mm profile, Apple reduced battery size and included only a single rear camera, while still pricing the device at $999.

Q3. How has the iPhone Air’s performance affected the wider industry?

Answer. Poor sales led Foxconn and Luxshare to stop production, Apple to pause next-gen Air development, and Samsung to cancel its Galaxy S26 Edge after similar struggles with the Galaxy S25 Edge.

Some of Oppo’s Reno models have started appearing in several official certification databases recently. These certification screenshots being circulated online are revealing model numbers, core connectivity, screen sizes, storage options and fast-charging support ahead of launch. The Reno models appearing are Oppo Reno 15 5G, Oppo Reno 15 Pro Max 5G and Oppo Reno 15F 5G. Here’s what we know.

Oppo Reno Model in Multiple Databases

The three models surfaced on the IMDA listings under model numbers CPH2825 likely Oppo Reno 15 5G, CPH2811 likely Oppo Reno 15 Pro Max 5G and CPH2801 likely Reno 15F 5G. All three entries confirm standard connectivity features including 2G/3G/4G/5G networks, eSIM, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, NFC and GPS, suggesting no compromises on regional radio bands or basic wireless features.

NBD filings give an early look at display and storage options.

The Reno 15 5G (CPH2825) is listed with a 6.59-inch display and appears to offer two memory configurations, which are reported as 12GB/256GB and 12GB/512GB. One entry shows 556GB, which is likely a typo.

The Reno 15 Pro Max 5G is recorded with a slightly smaller 6.57-inch screen and the same 12GB/256GB and 12GB/512GB storage choices. Meanwhile, the Reno 15F 5G also appears on NBD with a 6.57-inch panel and a 12GB/512GB option. All three share the HS code ‘85171300’ in the filings.

NBTC certification and Thailand Launch

The Reno 15 5G and Reno 15 Pro Max 5G have also passed NBTC certification with certificate numbers B38840-25 and B38841-25 respectively, both listed under the ‘Mobile Phones’ category. The presence of product names on NBTC confirms an official launch plan for Thailand.

A TUV listing for the Reno 15 5G confirms 80W wired fast charging on the standard model. The same certification marks the device as Class III protection indicating protective design elements and low-voltage operability.

Previously, the Reno 15 5G (CPH2825) was certified by the EEC, signalling an imminent arrival in European markets. The Reno 15F 5G has a broader certification footprint, EEC, TDRA, BIS and TUV SUD, which points to official launches in UAE and India and reiterates 80W wired charging support for that variant.

The certification trail suggests OPPO is preparing a geographically broad roll-out for the Reno 15 lineup with flagship-class memory options, near-flagship display sizes and fast wired charging as headline selling points. The slightly smaller display on the Pro Max listed in filings hints OPPO may differentiate models using screen tuning and feature sets rather than purely by size.

Separately, earlier rumours mentioned an OPPO Reno 15 mini. Given the scope of the certifications seen so far, those claims look increasingly unlikely at least based on current regulatory filings.

FAQs

Q1. Which Oppo Reno 15 models have appeared in certification databases?

Answer. The Oppo Reno 15 5G (CPH2825), Reno 15 Pro Max 5G (CPH2811), and Reno 15F 5G (CPH2801) have been spotted across IMDA, NBD, NBTC, TUV, EEC, BIS, and TDRA listings.

Q2. What specifications were revealed in the certifications?

Answer. Listings show 6.57–6.59-inch displays, storage options up to 12GB/512GB, and 80W wired fast charging for Reno 15 and Reno 15F.

Q3. Where are the Oppo Reno 15 models expected to launch?

Answer. Certifications confirm launches in Thailand, Europe, UAE, and India, pointing to a broad global rollout.
