0

Highlights

  • A device tipped to be the standard Xiaomi 18 has cleared China’s MIIT and SRRC certifications confirming ongoing development.
  • Reports suggest a December debut, following Xiaomi’s staggered release strategy; Lu Weibing had earlier confirmed a separate launch.
  • It is tipped to feature Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6, 7,200mAh battery (larger than 18 Pro), 200MP main camera, HyperOS 4; likely dual-camera setup, no rear display.

Xiaomi could soon complete its latest flagship lineup with the launch of the standard Xiaomi 18. The company recently introduced the Xiaomi 18 Pro and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max in China but the regular model was not part of the launch. A new certification and fresh leak now suggest that the Xiaomi 18 is still in development and could arrive later this year.

Xiaomi 18 Clears MIIT and SRRC Certification in China

A device carrying the M261DB model number has reportedly passed wireless certification with China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT). Tipster Digital Chat Station claims that the certified device is the standard Xiaomi 18. Tipster Bald Panda has also shared some key details about the upcoming smartphone.

Meanwhile, tipster Anvin @ZionsAnvin on X shared details of the same smartphone with model M261DB has also cleared SRRC certification in China. While the certification doesn’t confirm any key specs, it provides details of connectivity support.

As per the screenshot, the smartphone will get support for GSM, WCDMA, TD-LTE, LTE FDD, 5G, Wi-Fi (WAPI), and Bluetooth along with modulation methods (GMSK, QPSK, 16QAM, 256QAM, up to 4096QAM).

Xiaomi 18 Could Launch in December

According to a report by XimiTime, the standard Xiaomi 18 could launch in December, which will be around three months after the Xiaomi 18 Pro series. This would follow Xiaomi’s staggered launch approach for the current generation.

Xiaomi Group co-founder and president Lu Weibing had previously confirmed on Weibo that the standard Xiaomi 18 would be launched separately later in the year. This means the regular model was not necessarily expected to debut alongside the Pro models.

The December timeframe would also be similar to Xiaomi’s previous launch strategy. The company introduced the Xiaomi 17 Ultra in China in December 2025 after the earlier launch of the Xiaomi 17 series.

Xiaomi 18 Expected Specifications

The Xiaomi 18 is tipped to feature a 6.4-inch flat display with a 1.5K resolution. The display will most likely be Xiaomi’s M11 panel that also features on the recently launched Pro models. It may use two rear cameras instead of the Pro model’s triple-camera system, while gaining a larger battery. However, it is expected to retain the same Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chipset and 200-megapixel main-camera resolution.

The phone may run HyperOS 4 based on Android 17, matching the software generation used by the recently launched Xiaomi 18 Pro models.

The standard model is reportedly expected to have a simpler camera setup than the Pro models. The leak points to a dual rear-camera system, although the exact specifications of the secondary camera have not been revealed. The phone is also expected to skip the secondary rear display found on the Xiaomi 18 Pro and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max.

The 7,200mAh battery could be one of the biggest highlights of the standard model. If the leaked capacity is accurate, the Xiaomi 18 would have a larger battery than the Xiaomi 18 Pro, which comes with a 7,000mAh cell.

The exact camera hardware and other specifications remain unconfirmed at this stage.

For now, Xiaomi has not officially confirmed the launch date or specifications of the standard Xiaomi 18.

  • Camera highlights include a 50MP ultra-wide front camera (100° FoV) with NaturalTone 2.0; Pro model teased with 4K video recording on both front and rear.
  • Standard F35 tipped with 6.57-inch AMOLED, 8,000mAh battery, 80W charging, MediaTek 6360; Pro model with 7360 Max chipset, OIS cameras, IP69K durability.

OPPO has confirmed the India launch date of its upcoming F35 series after releasing weeks of teasers. The company is highlighting the series’ selfie camera including its wider field of view and more natural-looking portraits. While OPPO has not yet revealed all the models or their complete specifications, several details have already surfaced through official teasers and leaks. Here’s more on what we know so far.

OPPO F35 Series Launching in India on October 5

The OPPO F35 series will launch in India on October 5. OPPO has confirmed that the lineup will feature a 50-megapixel ultra-wide front camera with a 100-degree field of view. The selfie camera will also support NaturalTone 2.0, which is designed to deliver more natural-looking skin tones.

The company has also teased the Pro model with 4K video recording using both the front and rear cameras.

The F35 series will succeed the F33 lineup in India and continues OPPO’s long-running focus on smartphone photography. The company’s F series first arrived in India with the OPPO F1 in 2016 focusing heavily on selfies before expanding into areas such as design, video recording and durability. With the F35 series, the wider front camera is once again one of the key features OPPO is using to differentiate its phones in the upper mid-range segment.

OPPO F35 Series – Highlights

  • Marks 10 years of Oppo F-series in India
  • 50MP ultra-wide selfie camera
  • 100° field of view
  • NaturalTone 2.0 for more natural-looking skin tones
  • Pro model supports 4K video from front and rear cameras
  • New “Group Selfie Expert” positioning
  • F Series has crossed 30 million users in India

How Has the OPPO F Series Evolved Over 10 Years?

Over the past decade, OPPO’s F series has gradually expanded its focus beyond just selfie cameras. The OPPO F1 started the journey with a 16MP selfie camera and the “Selfie Expert” positioning, followed by the F3 with its dual selfie camera setup and the F7, which introduced AI-powered selfie features.

With the F27, OPPO shifted more attention towards durability with an IP69 rating, while the F33 continued the photography-focused approach with a 50MP ultra-wide selfie camera.

The upcoming F35 series now looks set to build on this evolution with another 50MP ultra-wide selfie camera along with a wider 100-degree field of view.

OPPO F35 Expected Specifications

According to leaked information, the standard OPPO F35 could feature a 6.57-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The phone is expected to be powered by the MediaTek 6360 chipset and could use a 4,300mm² VC cooling system for thermal management.

A major highlight could be its 8,000mAh battery, which is expected to support 80W fast charging. For photography, the leaked specifications suggest a 50-megapixel primary rear camera paired with a 2-megapixel secondary sensor. The front camera is expected to be a 50-megapixel ultra-wide unit.

The phone could also offer IP68, IP69, IP69K and IP66 ratings for water and dust resistance. It is reportedly expected to measure 8.8mm thick and weigh around 205 grams.

The F35 could be offered in 6GB+128GB and 8GB+128GB configurations. Its expected price in India is between Rs 35,000 and Rs 40,000, while the colour options could include Wave Blue, Titanium Grey and Mist Pink.

The large battery will put the F35 in competition with other battery-focused smartphones. Realme P4 Power and Narzo Power are also targeting buyers with large batteries, while the Redmi Note 17 Pro Max has debuted with a 10,000mAh battery at a higher price point of around Rs 50,000.

OPPO F35 Pro Expected Specification

The OPPO F35 Pro is expected to offer more powerful hardware than the standard model. Leaks suggest that it could be powered by the MediaTek 7360 Max chipset and feature a larger 5,000mm² VC cooling system. Like the standard F35, the Pro model could pack an 8,000mAh battery with support for 80W fast charging.

The camera setup could also receive a significant upgrade. The F35 Pro is tipped to feature a 50-megapixel large-sensor primary camera with optical image stabilisation along with an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera. The front could again feature a 50-megapixel ultra-wide selfie camera with support for a Natural Tone feature.

For durability, the Pro model is expected to carry an IP69K rating and could also feature Rainstorm Touch functionality.

The leaked information suggests that the OPPO F35 Pro could be priced between Rs 45,000 and Rs 50,000 in India. However, details about its display, RAM and storage variants, dimensions and colour options have not yet surfaced in the leak.

With the Pro model expected to cross the Rs 40,000 price mark, its camera capabilities, charging performance and chipset will be important factors when compared with other battery- and camera-focused smartphones.

OPPO is expected to reveal the remaining details, including the complete specifications and pricing, at the October 5 India launch.

OPPO has expanded its Reno lineup in China with the launch of the new OPPO Reno 16T. The smartphone combines a compact design with a large battery, high-resolution cameras and a MediaTek Dimensity 8-series processor. It also comes with a 6.32-inch AMOLED display and an AI key for quick access to Oppo’s Mind Space feature. Here are more details on the new launched smartphone.

Oppo Reno 16t Price and Availability

The Oppo Reno 16t starts at 3,699 yuan (around $550) in China for the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage variant. Oppo is also offering a higher-end version with 16GB RAM and 612GB storage.

The Reno 16t is not a completely different device from the already available Reno 16 in the Chinese market. While the Reno 16 is already widely available, the Reno 16t is priced 200 yuan higher and is mainly targeted at the offline market.

The phone is available in Heartbeat, Galaxy Purple and Moonlight Black colour options.

There has been no word on Reno 16T’s India launch as of now.

Oppo Reno 16t Specifications

The Oppo Reno 16t features a 6.32-inch flexible AMOLED display with a 2640×1216 resolution, 120Hz refresh rate and 460 PPI pixel density. The panel supports 1.07 billion colours and up to 240Hz touch sampling. Oppo’s official specifications list a global peak brightness of 1800 nits, while promotional material mentions a higher 3600-nit brightness figure.

The phone is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8550 Super chipset and comes with up to 12GB of LPDDR5X/LPDDR5 RAM and up to 512GB of UFS 3.1 storage.

It packs a large 6700mAh battery with support for 80W SuperVOOC and 80W UFCS fast charging.

For photography, the Reno 16t gets a triple rear camera setup led by a 200-megapixel primary sensor with OIS. It is paired with a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera offering a 116-degree field of view and a 50-megapixel telephoto camera with OIS. The camera system supports up to 3.5x optical zoom and 120x digital zoom.

On the front, the phone has a 50-megapixel autofocus selfie camera. It can record 4K video and supports features such as dual-view video, HDR recording and 4K video recording at 60fps.

The Reno 16t supports Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth and NFC along with an in-display optical fingerprint sensor, USB Type-C and dual nano-SIM connectivity. Oppo has also added an AI Plus key on the left side of the phone, which provides access to Mind Space.

The handset measures up to 8.36mm in thickness, although the exact thickness varies depending on the colour option. It weighs up to 191 grams and has IP68/IP69K-level water and dust resistance for added durability.

Why Compact Design With Huge Batteries Matters?

OnePlus 16T along with several upcoming smartphones follows a growing trend of brands fitting much larger batteries into relatively slim smartphones. It offers a 6700mAh battery in a slim 8.36mm-thick smartphone body.

A 5,000mAh battery has been a practical battery capacity for smartphones in last few years, primarily because pushing much beyond that generally meant using more internal space and adding thickness or weight. Now, Silicon-carbon batteries have changed that equation with the use of silicon in the anode material.

Silicon can store considerably more lithium than graphite by weight, which allows smartphone makers to increase the amount of energy stored in a similar physical space. This is a major reason phones can now cross the 7,000mAh mark while staying around the thickness of previous 5,000mAh phones.

The upcoming Vivo V80 is expected to feature a 7,200mAh battery, while the OPPO F35 Pro could pack an 8,000mAh cell. Meanwhile, the OnePlus 16T is also expected to join the 7,000mAh-class battery segment. Improvements in battery technology and internal design are allowing manufacturers to increase capacity without making phones excessively thick or bulky. Meanwhile, the upcoming OnePlus 16 is expected to take the battery race even further with a 9,000mAh battery.
