Google appears to be gearing up for the launch of its next mid-range smartphone, the Google Pixel 10a. Although the device is still several months from its official debut, a new leak has provided an early look at its core hardware. Here’s what we know so far.

Google Pixel 10a – Key Specifications (Leaked)

The latest information on the upcoming Google Pixel 10a comes from a Verizon certification listing shared by noted tipster Evan Blass @evleaks on X (formerly Twitter). It offers insight into what users can expect from the upcoming Pixel A-series phone.

According to the certification document, the Pixel 10a will feature a 6.3-inch FHD+ AMOLED display that supports a variable refresh rate ranging from 60Hz to 120Hz. The listing also confirms 8GB of RAM, 128GB of internal storage and a 5,100mAh battery.


These specifications position the handset very close to the Pixel 9a in terms of overall hardware. The camera configuration mirrors this similarity as well. The Pixel 10a is listed with a 48MP main camera, a 13MP ultrawide lens and a 13MP front-facing shooter.

Listed under the codename STA5, the certification describes the Pixel 10a as a device designed to deliver Google’s AI experience at a more accessible price point.

Google Pixel 10a – Other Revealed Specs

Previous leaks suggest that Google may once again use the Tensor G4 chipset, which powered the Pixel 9a. If accurate, this could mean the Pixel 10a may not receive many of the newer AI capabilities introduced with the latest Pixel 10 lineup.

However, there is speculation that Google might adopt the more efficient Exynos 5400 modem to help address earlier issues related to battery drain and overheating.

Reports have also hinted at a brighter display that could reach up to 2,000 nits, although this detail has not yet been confirmed. Overall, the hardware outlined so far indicates a model that largely follows the blueprint of its predecessor.

More leaks are expected in the coming weeks.

FAQs

Q1. What display and battery specifications are revealed for the Google Pixel 10a?

Answer. The Pixel 10a is tipped to feature a 6.3-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with 60–120Hz refresh rate and a 5,100mAh battery.

Q2. What camera setup is expected on the Google Pixel 10a?

Answer. Certification details list a 48MP main camera, 13MP ultrawide lens, and 13MP front-facing camera, similar to the Pixel 9a.

Q3. Which chipset might power the Google Pixel 10a?

Answer. Leaks suggest Google may reuse the Tensor G4 chipset from the Pixel 9a, possibly paired with an Exynos 5400 modem for better efficiency.

Facebook has announced a significant redesign of its mobile app, introducing refreshed interfaces for the Feed, search, navigation and content creation tools. As part of this update, search results will now appear in a grid layout, and multiple photos in a post will also be displayed in a grid for improved viewing.

Additionally, Home, Reels, Friends, Marketplace, Notifications, and Profile tabs will now sit together in a single bar at the bottom of the screen.

Feed and Navigation Redesign

Facebook says it is making the Feed “simpler and more immersive,” allowing users to enjoy content more easily and engage with posts through shared interests. Multiple-photo posts will now appear in a uniform grid, photos can be liked with a double-tap and Feed items can be viewed full-screen when tapped.

The platform is also shifting its most-used features like Reels, Friends, Marketplace, and Profile front and centre on the tab bar for quicker access. The app will introduce a refreshed menu layout and cleaner tab notifications to help users navigate recent activity more efficiently.

Search results are also getting a major overhaul. The new grid-style layout supports all content types for a more visual experience. Facebook is testing a full-screen viewer that allows users to browse photo and video results without losing their place with plans to expand support for more content formats in the coming months.

Users will also be able to provide feedback on Posts or Reels they don’t prefer, helping Facebook refine future recommendations.

Content Creation Made Easier

The company has redesigned the creation tools for Stories and Feed posts to make them more intuitive. Popular options like adding music or tagging friends are now easier to access. Advanced features such as colored text backgrounds remain available with a single tap.

Commenting has also been improved across Feed, Groups, and Reels with streamlined replies, clearer badges and new pinning options for better conversation flow. Updated admin controls will help creators and group managers monitor discussions more effectively. Users can now anonymously flag comments that are off-topic or lack relevance.

Profiles Designed for Real Connections

Facebook is enhancing the way users discover people with shared interests. When someone updates their profile, the app will surface friends who have similar passions or may offer useful advice. For example, updating your profile with an interest in sourdough baking or upcoming plans to visit Nashville will prompt Facebook to highlight friends who can recommend starter tips or suggest travel spots.

These profile updates are intended to help people connect more deeply, from sharing hobbies and travel plans to highlighting what shows they’re watching or music they’re enjoying. Users can continue to control who sees each part of their profile and decide whether new updates appear on their Feed.

With this redesign, Facebook is aiming to refresh the user experience across discovery, navigation, conversations, and connections. It is aimed at making the app cleaner, more engaging, and more personalised.

FAQs

Q1. What changes has Facebook made to the Feed and navigation?

Answer. Facebook redesigned the Feed to be simpler and more immersive, with grid-style photo posts, double-tap likes, and full-screen viewing. Navigation now places Home, Reels, Friends, Marketplace, Notifications and Profile together in a single bottom tab bar.

Q2. How has Facebook search been updated in the new redesign?

Answer. Search results now appear in a grid-style layout for a more visual experience. Facebook is also testing a full-screen viewer for browsing photos and videos without losing place.

Q3. What Facebook improvements were made to content creation and profiles?

Answer. Content creation tools for Stories and posts are more intuitive, with easier access to music and tagging. Profiles now highlight friends with shared interests, helping users connect more deeply around hobbies, travel plans, and passions.

Redmi has officially begun teasing the upcoming Redmi Note 15 5G in India. This signals that the global rollout of the Note 15 series is just around the corner. The lineup first debuted in China in August and a series of leaks and retailer listings over the past few weeks have suggested that the international launch is imminent.

Redmi India shared a short teaser video on X (formerly Twitter) confirming that the phone will feature a “108 Master Pixel Edition” with a 108MP main camera. While it remains unclear how this 108MP sensor differs from the Redmi Note 14’s 108MP unit, it’s evident that Redmi plans to position camera performance as the primary highlight of the Note 15 5G.

Based on earlier leaks, the global Redmi Note 15 5G is said to include a 6.83-inch FHD+ AMOLED display, the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset, 8GB RAM, 256GB internal storage, an 8MP ultrawide camera, a 20MP front camera, and a 5,520mAh battery with 45W wired charging. This marks slight upgrades over its predecessor including a larger display, a bigger battery, and a new processor.

However, as with previous generations, there may be differences between the Chinese variant and the global one despite identical naming.

Five Redmi Note 15 Models Confirmed for Global Markets

Xiaomi appears to be gearing up for a significantly expanded global launch this time. Multiple European retailer listings now confirm that five Redmi Note 15 models will be released internationally, which are as follows –

  • Redmi Note 15 4G
  • Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G
  • Redmi Note 15 5G
  • Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G
  • Redmi Note 15 Pro+ 5G

The newest listing comes from German retailer Sim.de, which has listed the Redmi Note 15 5G for €299 (~$350) in its 6GB + 128GB variant, complete with pre-order availability. The specifications match the model released in China, including the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset, a 6.77-inch 120Hz AMOLED screen, and a 108MP main camera inherited from the Redmi Note 14 5G.

There are, however, a few notable global-region modifications. The worldwide model includes a 5,520mAh battery instead of the larger unit seen in China and comes with IP65 water and dust resistance rather than IP68. It will ship with HyperOS 2, unlike the Chinese model which has already moved to HyperOS 3. Despite these changes, the device maintains a lightweight build at 178 grams.

Xiaomi typically schedules its global Note series launches for late Q1. But the early retailer sightings of both the Note 15 5G and Note 15 Pro 5G indicate that the international rollout may happen much sooner than expected.

FAQs

Q1. What has Redmi teased about the Note 15 5G in India?

Answer. Redmi India shared a teaser highlighting the “108 Master Pixel Edition” with a 108MP main camera, positioning imaging as the phone’s key feature.

Q2. What specifications are expected for the global Redmi Note 15 5G?

Answer. Leaks suggest a 6.83-inch FHD+ AMOLED display, Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset, 8GB RAM, 256GB storage, 20MP front camera, 8MP ultrawide lens, and a 5,520mAh battery with 45W charging.

Q3. How many Redmi Note 15 models will launch globally?

Answer. Xiaomi is preparing to release five models worldwide, Redmi Note 15 4G, Note 15 Pro 4G, Note 15 5G, Note 15 Pro 5G, and Note 15 Pro+ 5G.

A National Geographic Spokesperson added, “Building on the success of our collaboration with vivo on Xplore the Xtreme, we are delighted to reunite for ‘Go Into the Wild’.

The Realme 16 Pro has already appeared online with details about its design and core specifications. Now, a new tip has reportedly revealed when the upcoming Realme 16 Pro series will launch in India. That’s not all, a leaked image of the Realme 16 Pro+ retail box is also making rounds online. Here’s what we know based on recent leaks.

Realme 16 Pro Series – India Launch Date Leaked

According to leakster Sanju Choudhary @saaaanjjjuuu on X (formerly Twitter), the Realme 16 Pro lineup is set to arrive in India on January 6. The series will include two models, which are the Realme 16 Pro and the Realme 16 Pro+.

The tipster also claims that the standard Realme 16 Pro will be offered with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. Meanwhile, the Realme 16 Pro+ is said to feature a periscope telephoto camera, a notable upgrade considering the Realme 15 Pro, which was launched in July and did not include a telephoto lens.

In China, the retail box for the Realme 16 Pro+ has also surfaced on Weibo. According to the source behind the leaked box image, the Realme 16 Pro+ will indeed include a periscope telephoto unit on its rear.

This capability previously appeared on the Realme 14 Pro+, while the Realme 15 Pro skipped it entirely (the company did not release a Realme 15 Pro+). With the feature returning, it wouldn’t be surprising if the Realme 16 Pro+ is priced higher than the Realme 15 Pro.

No confirmed specifications for the Realme 16 Pro+ have leaked so far. Speculation in China suggests that the Realme 15 series may have performed poorly in sales, prompting the brand to accelerate work on its successor.

More information about the Realme 16 Pro series is expected to surface as the launch date comes closer.

FAQs

Q1. When will the Realme 16 Pro series launch in India?

Answer. According to leaks, the Realme 16 Pro lineup (16 Pro and 16 Pro+) is tipped to launch in India on January 6, 2026.

Q3. What makes the Realme 16 Pro+ different from the standard model?

Answer. A leaked retail box confirms the return of the periscope telephoto camera on the Realme 16 Pro+, a feature skipped in the Realme 15 Pro likely positioning it as the higher-end model.

IDC’s latest report points to a breakthrough year ahead for foldable smartphones fueled by what it calls the “game-changer” arrival of the iPhone Fold in 2026. The market research firm expects foldable shipments to rise by an impressive 30% year-over-year, driven by new form factors and the long-awaited entry of Apple. Here’s more on this.

IDC on the 2026 Foldable Market

According to Nabila Popal, Senior Research Director at IDC’s Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker, “Next year will prove exciting for the foldable category with multiple launches pushing the market to 30% YoY growth from just 6% in the prior forecast.”

She adds, “Samsung will kick start 2026 with the Galaxy Z Trifold, introducing tri-fold innovation to mainstream global consumers, building off the momentum of the successful Galaxy Z Fold7 in 2025. Huawei’s foldables running on HarmonyOS Next will also see strong growth, with shipments expected to almost double in 2026.”

But the highlight of IDC’s forecast is Apple’s debut in the foldable space, which the firm calls the real disruptor. According to the report, “the real game-changer for the category comes at year-end when Apple enters the foldable space, projected to capture over 22% unit share and a staggering 34% of the foldables market value in its first year, thanks to an expected average price point of $2,400.”

Those numbers signal a bold outlook for Apple’s debut foldable. Despite foldable phones being around for roughly seven years, IDC’s projections highlight how much space Apple still has to redefine the segment or how niche the category remains until now.

First iPhone Fold – What We Know So Far?

Apple’s supply chain movements reflect a major shift. Recent reports suggest the company is gearing up for what could be its most ambitious launch since the original iPhone. The iPhone Fold appears to be well beyond prototype stages with multiple indicators pointing to rapid development progress.

One of the biggest breakthroughs reportedly achieved is the removal of the visible crease that has plagued every foldable display so far. The device is rumoured to feature a 7.8-inch inner screen with no crease and a 5.5-inch external display. The inner panel may also house an under-display camera, a technology that could eventually influence future iPad and MacBook designs.

Apple has also revised its sales expectations upward. Instead of 6–8 million units, the company now anticipates demand of 8–10 million units in the first year. This suggests growing confidence in both consumer interest and production readiness.

On the manufacturing front, this launch marks Apple’s most complex supply chain operation to date. Samsung Display is reportedly preparing 7–8 million foldable OLED panels for the iPhone Fold, requiring entirely new production lines and advanced quality checks. Apple is also stockpiling key components well before the anticipated 2026 release including titanium frames and sophisticated hinge systems capable of withstanding long-term folding durability.

Supplier diversification plays a major role in Apple’s strategy. Lens Technology from China is expected to take the lead on ultra-thin cover glass, while U.S.-based Amphenol has been shortlisted as the primary hinge supplier. This aligns with the company’s growing China+1 strategy while reducing reliance on a single vendor for critical parts.

Pricing expectations are equally premium. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo projects the iPhone Fold to land between $2,000 and $2,500, while other reports narrow it closer to $2,400. The cost reflects the phone’s complex engineering including dual premium displays, titanium construction, crease-elimination technology, and advanced hinge materials.

With IDC forecasting steep growth and Apple preparing for a major entry into foldables, 2026 could become the defining year for the next generation of smartphone design.
