Among the three devices, the Galaxy A27 is likely to be positioned as the most affordable option.

According to a report by 91mobiles, the Galaxy A27 has appeared on the FCC certification website with model numbers SM-A276U and SM-A276B. These are believed to represent the US and global variants of the device.

Although the certification does not reveal any hardware specifications, its appearance on the regulatory platform points toward an imminent launch.

Samsung Galaxy A27 – Specifications (Expected)

While the company has yet to officially confirm its specifications, previous leaks and benchmark listings have revealed several key details.

Reports suggest the Galaxy S27 will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 processor paired with 6GB of RAM. The device is also expected to run Android 16 out of the box with Samsung’s latest One UI skin on top, offering a modern software experience and reliable day-to-day performance.

The upcoming smartphone is rumored to feature a 6.7-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. In terms of design, the Galaxy A27 is tipped to follow the styling of the Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57. This means buyers can expect a punch-hole display design instead of the older notch-style implementation seen on some previous models.

For photography, Samsung is expected to equip the device with a triple rear camera setup comprising a 50-megapixel primary sensor, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera, and a 2-megapixel macro lens. The inclusion of three rear cameras could help the Galaxy A27 stand out in a segment where many competing smartphones have shifted to simpler dual-camera systems.

Vivo X500 Ultra Tipped to Feature 10x Optical Zoom Camera as Next-Gen Ultra Flagship Takes Shape

0

Highlights

  • Vivo X500 Ultra is reportedly testing a dedicated 10x optical zoom telephoto camera.
  • The X500 series may introduce teleconverters and vlogging accessories keeping up with Vivo’s focus on mobile photography innovation.
  • Leaks suggest Vivo remains committed to launching the X500 Ultra with more details expected in coming months.

Vivo could be preparing a major camera upgrade for its next-generation Ultra flagship smartphone. A new leak suggests that the company is currently testing a 10x telephoto camera for what is believed to be the upcoming Vivo X500 Ultra. Here are more details.

Vivo X500 Ultra – Camera Technology (Leaked)

Tipster Smart Pikachu on Weibo. (Translated via Google Translate)

According to tipster Smart Pikachu on Weibo, Vivo is experimenting with a dedicated 10x zoom camera for the X500 Ultra. If the feature makes it to the final product, it would be a notable departure from the camera setup found on the current Vivo X300 Ultra.

The tipster also claims that the Vivo X500 series could introduce new teleconverter accessories. Dedicated vlogging-focused accessories are also reportedly under development further highlighting Vivo’s focus on mobile photography and content creation.

The existing model relies on a single 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera that offers around 3.7x optical zoom. However, rival smartphone makers have recently pushed zoom capabilities much further.

For example, Oppo’s Find X9 Ultra is said to feature a dual telephoto system consisting of a 200-megapixel 3x telephoto camera and a separate 50-megapixel 10x periscope lens allowing it to deliver enhanced long-range photography performance.

Huawei also attracted attention with the Pura 80 Ultra, which reportedly featured a 9.4x periscope zoom solution and showcased the growing potential of smartphone telephoto cameras. Huawei is also rumoured to skip a Pura Ultra successor in 2026 and other brands continuing to focus heavily on camera hardware. This shows that Vivo’s move toward a dedicated 10x zoom camera would not be entirely surprising.

Vivo Continues to Focus on Camera Innovation

Vivo has consistently been among the more photography-focused smartphone brands, thanks in part to its long-standing partnership with Zeiss.

According to tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo, Vivo and Oppo appear to be following a similar product strategy across multiple categories. Beyond smartphones, both brands are also rumoured to be working on compact camera products designed to compete with DJI Pocket devices that could debut later this year.

The tipster’s comments also suggest that Vivo remains committed to launching a true Ultra-tier flagship smartphone effectively putting to rest recent speculation that the Vivo X500 Ultra project may have been cancelled.

Meanwhile, there may be some challenges for rival brands. Indian tipster Kartikey Singh recently claimed on X that development of the Xiaomi 18 Ultra has been temporarily put on hold. Discussions surrounding the leak suggest that rising component costs could be one of the reasons behind the delay. While reports do not indicate a cancellation, consumers may have to prepare for potential price increases in the flagship smartphone segment.

Coming back to Vivo, the rumoured 10x telephoto camera remains a test configuration and there is no guarantee that Vivo will include it in the final version of the X500 Ultra.

More details about the Vivo X500 Ultra are expected to surface in the coming months as development progresses and the device moves closer to launch.

 FAQs

Q1. What major camera upgrade is Vivo testing for the X500 Ultra?

Answer. Vivo is reportedly experimenting with a dedicated 10x optical zoom telephoto camera, a big jump from the X300 Ultra’s 3.7x zoom.

Q2. What accessories might accompany the Vivo X500 series?

Answer. Leaks suggest new teleconverter and vlogging-focused accessories are in development, highlighting Vivo’s push toward mobile photography.

Q3. Has the Vivo X500 Ultra project been cancelled?

Answer. No, tipsters indicate Vivo remains committed to launching the X500 Ultra, despite earlier speculation about cancellation.

Highlights

  • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra spotted on Bluetooth SIG with multiple model numbers tied to Japanese carriers and a SIM‑free version.
  • This marks the first time an “Ultra” model has been linked to the Galaxy Z Fold lineup.
  • Reports suggest Samsung may launch multiple Fold 8 variants including a wider display model.

Latest leak almost confirms that Samsung’s next-generation foldable lineup may include a new Ultra-branded model. The rumoured Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra has reportedly been spotted on a certification platform ahead of its expected launch. The listing offers an early glimpse into Samsung’s foldable plans and it even suggests the company could be preparing an extensive release strategy in Japan. Here are more details.

Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra Certified by Bluetooth SIG

According to a recent Sumahodigest report, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra has appeared in the Bluetooth SIG database. The publication claims that several model numbers associated with the foldable have been listed, which shows support for multiple Japanese mobile carriers as well as an unlocked version of the device.

The reported model numbers include SC-56G for NTT Docomo, SCG39 for Au, SM-F976C for Rakuten Mobile, SM-F976Q for the SIM-free version and SM-F976Z for SoftBank.

Importantly, the listing could not be independently verified so the report should be treated cautiously until additional confirmation becomes available.

If this is indeed accurate, we can assume Samsung is planning to make the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra available across all major carrier networks in Japan.

Ultra Branding for Samsung’s Fold Lineup

One of the most interesting details from the certification report is the use of the “Ultra” branding. As previously hinted in multiple reports, this year will be the first time an Ultra-branded Fold device has been linked to the lineup. So far, we have not seen an Ultra model in Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold series.

The appearance of the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra name has fueled speculation that Samsung could be making notable changes to its foldable portfolio this year.

Samsung Next-Gen Foldable – What To Expect?

Previous leaks have suggested that Samsung is working on more than one Fold model for the upcoming generation. While the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is expected to retain a design language similar to previous Fold devices, another version of the Galaxy Z Fold 8 could reportedly feature a wider display format.

This has led to speculation that Samsung may differentiate its foldable devices based on form factor and screen proportions rather than following the traditional standard and premium approach.

Details regarding the wider Galaxy Z Fold 8 variant remain unclear, particularly when it comes to global availability. At present, the certification report appears to focus solely on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra.

With Samsung expected to unveil its next foldable smartphones in the coming months, more information about the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series including specifications, pricing and key differences between the models is likely to emerge soon.

FAQs

Q1. Where was the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra recently spotted?

Answer. It appeared on the Bluetooth SIG certification database, with multiple model numbers linked to Japanese carriers and a SIM‑free version.

Q2. Why is the “Ultra” branding significant for Samsung’s foldables?

Answer. This is the first time an Ultra model has been associated with the Galaxy Z Fold lineup, hinting at a possible expansion of Samsung’s foldable portfolio.

Q3. What other Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 variants are rumoured alongside the Ultra?

Answer. Leaks suggest Samsung may also launch a wider display version of the Galaxy Z Fold 8, differentiating models by form factor and screen proportions.

Highlights

  • Multiple Google devices believed to be Pixel Watch 5 variants appeared on India’s BIS database.
  • A scuba diver reportedly found a Pixel Watch 5 underwater near St. Martin and viral images revealed IP68 rating, 45mm case, UWB, SpO2 and heart tracking.

Google is expected to unveil its next generation of Pixel devices later this year. The expected devices include the Pixel 11 smartphone series, a new foldable phone and most certainly a new smartwatch. Yes, we are anticipating the Google Pixel Watch 5 to arrive this year.

Ahead of an official confirmation, several variants of the upcoming smartwatch have now appeared on India’s BIS certification platform hinting that its debut could be getting closer. But that’s not the most amusing part. In an unusual turn of events, the smartwatch has also reportedly surfaced in the wild after being discovered by a scuba diver at the bottom of the ocean. Even if that sounds hilarious, the recovered smartwatch images are now viral and offers what could be the first real-world look at the unreleased wearable. Let’s circle back and get more details on these updates.

Google Pixel Watch 5 Variants Appear on BIS

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) database has listed four new Google devices carrying the model numbers G0F3Y, G1XJ6, G25QD, and GFW3R.

While the certification does not explicitly mention the Pixel Watch 5 name, the listings are believed to be associated with the upcoming smartwatch. The different model numbers could represent multiple size options as well as Wi-Fi-only and LTE variants.

However, there is currently no information confirming which model number corresponds to a specific version.

The certification listing does not reveal any hardware specifications, so additional leaks and reports will be needed to paint a clearer picture of Google’s next smartwatch.

Google Pixel Watch 5 Prototype Reportedly Found Underwater

Interestingly, the Pixel Watch 5 has also been linked to one of the more unusual tech leaks in recent memory.

A X user named Randy Pitchford @DuvalMagic recently shared several images online claiming they show an unreleased Pixel Watch 5. According to the post, the smartwatch was discovered by a friend while scuba diving near St. Martin, a Caribbean island.

At first glance, the device appears nearly identical to the current-generation Pixel Watch 4 and is shown paired with Google’s Pixel Watch Active Sport Band. However, images of the rear panel reveal markings that reportedly identify the device as the Pixel Watch 5.

The back of the watch reportedly features a “Pixel Watch 5” label along with several key specifications. The markings mention an IP68 rating, a 45mm case size, sleep tracking support, SpO2 monitoring, heart rate tracking, Ultra Wideband (UWB), and EDA sensors.

Based on the leaked images, these features appear largely similar to those offered by the Pixel Watch 4.

The person who shared the images also claimed that the smartwatch briefly displayed the time before the battery completely drained. If true, this would suggest the device remained functional despite being submerged underwater for an unknown period of time.

This is the first major leak related to the Pixel Watch 5 but Google products have often surfaced long before their official launch dates. Last year, the Pixel 10 was reportedly spotted being filmed at a beach months ahead of its announcement continuing the company’s long history of premature leaks.

Google Pixel Watch 5 – Expected Specs and Launch Timeline

According to reports, the Pixel Watch 5 could represent one of Google’s biggest smartwatch upgrades so far. The wearable is expected to move away from Qualcomm’s Snapdragon W5 Gen 2 processor and instead adopt an in-house Tensor chipset.

The smartwatch is also rumoured to be the first to launch with WearOS 7 out of the box. The new software version is expected to introduce several new feature including Gemini Intelligence integration, Wear Widgets, Wear Workout Tracker, and improved system media controls.

Google is expected to unveil the Pixel Watch 5 globally alongside the Pixel 11 series by the end of August. However, the Indian launch could take place a few months later. A similar strategy was followed with the Pixel Watch 4, which was introduced globally earlier and arrived in India in November 2025.

FAQs

Q1. Where was the Pixel Watch 5 recently spotted?

Answer. It appeared on India’s BIS certification platform with four model numbers, hinting at multiple variants and an upcoming launch.

Q2. What unusual leak revealed the Pixel Watch 5 prototype?

Answer. A scuba diver reportedly discovered it underwater near St. Martin, with images showing IP68 rating, 45mm case, UWB, SpO2, and heart tracking.

Q3. When is the Pixel Watch 5 expected to launch?

According to the Geekbench results, the Vivo S60 Vitality Edition achieved a single-core score of 1,243 points and a multi-core score of 3,569 points. These figures place the Dimensity 7500 ahead of the previous-generation Dimensity 7400, although the performance increase does not appear to be particularly dramatic.

The benchmark scores are broadly in line with what the early specifications of the chipset had suggested. MediaTek had previously claimed performance improvements of around 24 percent in single-core tasks and 21 percent in multi-core workloads compared to its predecessor.

While benchmark results do not always perfectly match manufacturer claims, the new scores indicate a noticeable improvement.

The Dimensity 7500 is manufactured using a 4nm process and features an octa-core CPU architecture paired with a Mali-G625 GPU. While the hardware configuration may not introduce any major surprises, it is expected to provide a balanced experience for daily usage as well as casual gaming.

Vivo has complemented the new chipset with a 144Hz AMOLED display on the S60 Vitality Edition. The smartphone also features a slim 7.92mm profile and starts at a price of 2,899 yuan in China.

Vivo Y500 and Vivo V70 Lite 4G Appear on Bluetooth SIG

In separate developments, two upcoming Vivo smartphones intended for global markets have now been spotted on the Bluetooth SIG certification database hinting at an imminent launch.

The first device is the Vivo Y500, which should not be confused with the Vivo Y500 5G launched in China last year. The upcoming model has appeared on the certification platform carrying multiple model numbers including V2627, V2634, and V2635.

Another Vivo smartphone carrying the model number V2604 has also been listed on the Bluetooth SIG database. The certification confirms its marketing name as the Vivo V70 Lite 4G.

Although the Bluetooth SIG listings confirm the existence of both smartphones, they do not reveal any specifications. The database also does not clarify whether the various Vivo Y500 variants will support 4G or 5G connectivity.

Unlike the Vivo Y500, the Vivo V70 Lite 4G has already appeared on the FCC certification platform. Earlier FCC documentation confirmed the V2604 model number and revealed several key details about the smartphone.

The FCC listing confirmed that the Vivo V70 Lite will be a 4G device. It also revealed that the handset will be equipped with a large 7,920mAh battery carrying the model number BB65. Additionally, the certification showed that one of the available configurations will include 8GB of RAM paired with 256GB of internal storage.

Vivo has not yet announced a launch timeline for either device. However, an official announcement is expected to take place in the near future since both smartphones now appearing on multiple certification platforms.
