This appearance has us thinking that a possible launch could be drawing closer.

Poco C95 Pro IMDA Certification Reveals Connectivity Features

Recently, an unannounced smartphone with the model number 2606FPC72Y was spotted on the IMDA database. The certification listing does not reveal the phone’s official marketing name. However, previous database entries suggest that the device may launch as the POCO C95 Pro 4G.

OnePlus 15s Global Launch in Doubt as New Leak Suggests Uncertain Release Plans

0

Highlights

  • A new leak suggests the OnePlus 15s may not launch internationally.
  • Tipster Yogesh Brar reported that the 15s might not release at all, while the OnePlus 16’s India plans remain unfinalised.
  • The OnePlus 15T, featuring Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, 165Hz AMOLED display, dual 50MP cameras and 7,500mAh battery, is currently limited to China.

The global launch plans for the OnePlus 15s may be facing uncertainty, according to a new leak. The development comes amid multiple reports claiming that OnePlus is reducing its presence in several international markets. However, the company continues to launch new products in India including the upcoming OnePlus N6 smartphone with an 8,000mAh battery.

At the moment, it remains unclear whether OnePlus’ future flagship smartphones will receive international launches or stay exclusive to the Chinese market.

OnePlus 15s Launch Plans Reportedly Uncertain

Tipster Yogesh Brar has claimed on X that the OnePlus 15s may not launch at all.

The tipster further suggested that the next-generation OnePlus 16 has not yet been finalised for the Indian market.

The OnePlus 15T was introduced in China earlier this year and was widely expected to make its global debut under the OnePlus 15s branding. However, the company has yet to announce any international launch plans for the device.

The latest leak adds to the uncertainty surrounding the smartphone’s availability outside China.

OnePlus 15T – Specifications

For reference, the OnePlus 15T features a 6.32-inch AMOLED display with a 165Hz refresh rate. The smartphone is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, the same processor used in the standard OnePlus 15.

In terms of photography, the device comes equipped with a dual rear camera setup featuring two 50-megapixel sensors. It is also backed by a large 7,500mAh battery.

OnePlus’ Compact Flagship Strategy

The OnePlus 13T was launched in China in April 2025 as a compact flagship smartphone powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. The device later made its way to international markets under the OnePlus 13s branding.

Following that model, OnePlus introduced the OnePlus 15T in China in March 2026. The smartphone debuted with a starting price of CNY 4,899 (approximately $723).

Despite the device already being available in China, OnePlus has not shared any official information regarding a global version. As a result, the future of the anticipated OnePlus 15s remains uncertain.

With no confirmation from the company so far, buyers will likely have to wait for an official announcement to learn whether the compact flagship will be released outside China.

FAQs

Q1. Will the OnePlus 15s launch globally?

Answer. Leaks suggest the OnePlus 15s may not see an international release, with availability possibly limited to China.

Q2. What did tipster Yogesh Brar claim about the OnePlus 15s?

Answer. He stated the OnePlus 15s might not launch at all, and the OnePlus 16’s India plans remain unconfirmed.

Q3. What are the key specs of the OnePlus 15T?

Answer. The OnePlus 15T features a 6.32‑inch AMOLED display with 165Hz refresh rate, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, dual 50MP cameras, and a 7,500mAh battery.

Vivo S2 Appears on BIS Certification Website, India Launch May Be Around the Corner

Highlights

  • The upcoming Vivo S2 has reportedly appeared on the BIS certification website confirming its India launch plans.
  • Sources suggest a July 2026 debut with pricing between ₹45,000–₹50,000.
  • The phone could aim at a premium segment potentially competing with Vivo’s V70 with specs yet to be revealed.

It was recently reported that Vivo’s S-series smartphones could soon make a return to the Indian market after a long absence. Keeping up with that rumour, the upcoming Vivo S2 has now been spotted on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification website. This not only finally confirms the smartphone but also indicates that the company is preparing to launch the device in India as well. Here’s more on what we know so far.

Vivo S2 India Launch Could Happen Soon

According to a recent 91Mobiles report, the BIS listing reveals the model number V2576 but does not disclose any hardware specifications or features. Even so, certification approvals are generally considered a strong sign that a launch is approaching.

Industry sources had previously indicated that Vivo is aiming to introduce the Vivo S2 in India sometime in July. The appearance of the device on the BIS database appears to support that timeline. The same model number was also reportedly spotted earlier in the GSMA database suggesting that Vivo has already begun securing regulatory approvals for the smartphone.

The latest certification marks the first official indication of the smartphone’s arrival and comes shortly after reports suggested that Vivo was planning to revive the S-series lineup in the country nearly seven years after its last launch.

The Vivo S-series was last represented in India by the Vivo S1 in 2019 in below Rs 20,000 price segment. However, the upcoming Vivo S2 appears to be targeting a very different segment of the market.

Vivo S2 – What To Expect?

According to information previously shared by industry sources, the Vivo S2 could be priced between Rs 45,000 and Rs 50,000 in the Indian market.

If the reported pricing proves accurate, the Vivo S2 would represent a significant shift for the S-series. Instead of targeting the budget segment like the Vivo S1, the new model would enter the sub-flagship category.

Vivo currently has Vivo V70 already in the same category with premium compact design and Zeiss-backed camera capabilities. This could mean the brand may need to introduce unique features to help the S2 stand out within its own portfolio.

At present, the specifications of the Vivo S2 remain under wraps. However, more details are likely to emerge through other certifications, leaks, or official teasers in the coming weeks. With the BIS certification now in place, the Vivo S2 appears to be one step closer to its India launch. This means an official announcement may not be too far away.

FAQs

Q1. Has the Vivo S2 been officially confirmed for India?

Answer. Yes. The Vivo S2 (model number V2576) has appeared on the BIS certification website, confirming its upcoming India launch.

Q2. When is the Vivo S2 expected to launch in India?

Answer. Industry sources suggest a July 2026 launch, supported by the BIS listing and earlier GSMA database sightings.

Q3. What price segment will the Vivo S2 target?

Answer. Unlike the budget‑friendly Vivo S1 (2019), the Vivo S2 is expected to be priced between ₹45,000–₹50,000, placing it in the sub‑flagship category.

Apple Confirms Future iPhone Price Hikes Amid Memory Shortage, iPhone 18 Pro Could Cost $1,399 or More

0

Highlights

  • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirmed that rising RAM and storage costs are driving “unavoidable” price increases across iPhones, Macs, and iPads.
  • Estimates suggest the iPhone 18 Pro could start at $1,399 or higher marking a $200–$300 jump over the iPhone 17 Pro with Pro Max and Ultra models potentially far more expensive.
  • Higher memory and camera costs are key drivers as Cook highlighted DRAM shortages.

Apple has indicated that future products could become more expensive as the company deals with ongoing memory supply challenges. The development was revealed by Apple CEO Tim Cook during a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal, where he pointed to rising RAM costs as a key factor behind potential price increases.

According to the report, Cook described the expected hikes as “unavoidable” due to the continued shortage of memory components.

Apple Confirms Significant iPhone Price Increases Ahead

The WSJ story reads“Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable,” he said. “We’re doing our best to mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.”

“Cook declined to offer details on the timing or scale of the planned price increases, nor which products will be affected. Apple’s next major product launch is likely to be in September when it releases the iPhone 18 lineup expected to include a new foldable iPhone. Price increases, especially for Macs and iPads, could come sooner. Apple raised the starting price of the Mac Mini last month in between launch events.”

The Wall Street Journal noted that Apple recently adjusted the pricing structure of its Mac mini desktop by removing the entry-level storage option. While the price of the higher-storage version remained unchanged, customers effectively had to pay more for the base model.

However, future price changes may be more direct. Based on Cook’s comments, Apple appears to be considering broader hardware price increases rather than relying solely on configuration changes.

The report further adds – “Cook said prices for memory and storage are both issues for the company, though he focused on the DRAM market in particular, calling out the increased allocations going to so-called high-bandwidth memory that is used for AI servers.”

“There’s less supply at a time when consumers want devices and the memory guys are passing along huge price increases,” said Cook. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line.”

The report comes as Cook prepares to transition out of the CEO role. On September 1, Apple executive John Ternus is set to become the company’s new CEO, while Cook will move into the position of Executive Chairman of the Board.

iPhone 18 Pro Could See a Sharp Price Jump

The Wall Street Journal attempted to estimate the potential pricing of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro based on expected component costs and data from research firm TechInsights.

Discussing the impact of rising costs, the publication wrote – “Apple isn’t immune to soaring chip prices, Chief Executive Tim Cook told The Wall Street Journal. When asked which devices would be getting price increases and when, Cook responded, “We’re still working through that.” We’re likely to find out more this September, when the next iPhone and other devices are expected to arrive. So for now, we decided to make an educated guess at how much more Apple hardware will cost, using the anticipated but as yet unannounced iPhone 18 Pro.”

Based on its analysis, the publication estimates that the iPhone 18 Pro could start at a minimum of $1,299. However, a starting price of $1,399 or even higher is considered more likely.

If accurate, that would represent a price increase of $200 to $300 or more compared to the iPhone 17 Pro. Higher storage variants and premium models such as the iPhone 18 Pro Max and the rumoured iPhone Ultra could become even more expensive.

Rising Component Costs Driving Estimates

The publication’s projections are based on anticipated increases in RAM, storage, and camera component costs while maintaining Apple’s typical profit margins.

The report states – “While Apple doesn’t report the gross profit margins on individual products, the TechInsights research suggests the margin on the $1,099 iPhone 17 Pro was a tidy 47%. To maintain that profit margin for the iPhone 18 Pro, based on estimated costs, the company would have to charge $1,371. Because the company likes standardized pricing, the starting price tag would more likely be $1,299, yielding a 44% gross profit. And this calculation doesn’t account for a potential new camera system that will also cost Apple about 50% more than previous models, according to supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. In that case, following the same math, Apple could set the starting price of the iPhone 18 Pro at $1,399—or higher.”

The report further notes that the iPhone 18 Pro is expected to introduce major camera upgrades, which could contribute significantly to higher production costs. If Apple maintains the current pricing gap between the Pro and Pro Max models, the iPhone 18 Pro Max could launch at least $100 above the Pro variant. Under such circumstances, the anticipated iPhone Ultra could approach a starting price of around $2,000.

Apple’s comments on future price increases come after the launch of the MacBook Neo, which the company positions as its most affordable Mac notebook. The entry-level model ships with 8GB of RAM, less memory than what is available on several modern iPhones, iPads, and Mac devices.

FAQs

Q1. Why is Apple planning to raise iPhone prices?

Answer. Apple CEO Tim Cook confirmed that rising costs of memory components, especially DRAM, are making price hikes “unavoidable.” Supply shortages and higher allocations to AI servers have driven up costs, impacting consumer devices.

Q2. How much could the iPhone 18 Pro cost?

Answer. Analysts estimate the iPhone 18 Pro could start at $1,399 or higher, representing a $200–$300 increase over the iPhone 17 Pro. Premium models like the Pro Max and the rumored Ultra could be even more expensive.

Q3. Which Apple products might see price increases first?

Answer. While Cook did not specify exact timing, Macs and iPads could be affected sooner. Apple already raised the starting price of the Mac Mini by removing the entry-level storage option, effectively increasing the base cost.

Oppo is also set to launch the Enco Air 5 and Enco Air 5s earbuds.

OPPO Reno 16 Series – Key Specifications (Expected)

The OPPO Reno 16 Pro and Reno 16 are expected to feature a compact 6.32-inch AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution support for up to a 144Hz refresh rate, and Gorilla Glass 7i protection. The high refresh rate is expected to provide smoother scrolling and gaming performance.

The Reno 16 Pro is tipped to be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8550 chipset, while the standard Reno 16 is expected to use the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 processor. Battery capacities are also expected to differ between the two models, with the Reno 16 Pro likely to pack a 6,700mAh battery and the Reno 16 expected to feature a 6,000mAh unit.

Both smartphones are tipped to include a 200-megapixel primary camera along with a 3.5x telephoto lens. This camera setup could help the Reno 16 series stand out against competing devices, particularly due to the inclusion of a dedicated telephoto camera.

The Reno 16F is expected to feature a larger 6.57-inch display and could be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset. It is also tipped to include a 50-megapixel telephoto camera with 3.5x optical zoom and a 6,500mAh battery with support for 45W SuperVOOC fast charging.

OPPO Reno 16c Could Arrive in India

According to an exclusive 91Mobiles report based on information shared by tipster Yogesh Brar, Oppo is preparing to launch the Reno 16 and Reno 16c in India. While the Reno 16 is already part of the global lineup, the Reno 16c would be a new model to enter the Indian market.

The Reno 16c is expected to be based on the Reno 16F and could serve as the most affordable model in the series. Unlike the compact Reno 16, the Reno 16c is expected to feature a larger form factor.

Based on previously leaked Reno 16F specifications, the Reno 16c could arrive with a 6.57-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display supporting a 120Hz refresh rate. The smartphone is expected to be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset paired with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 3.1 storage.

The handset is tipped to feature a triple rear camera setup consisting of a 50-megapixel primary camera with OIS, a 50-megapixel telephoto camera with 3.5x optical zoom, and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide sensor. A 50-megapixel front-facing camera is also expected.

The Reno 16c may pack a 6,500mAh battery with 45W SuperVOOC charging support. Unlike the Reno 16, which is expected to feature an aluminium frame, the Reno 16c could use a plastic frame. Other expected features include IP69-rated protection, stereo speakers, and NFC support.
