The OnePlus 15 has been at the centre of multiple leaks in the last few weeks and we already have a fair idea about its expected price and early sale details. The flagship smartphone was launched in China last month and is now set to launch in India on November 13 at 7 PM, and it’s shaping up to be one of the most feature-packed OnePlus devices yet. While launch is just days away, a new leak has now revealed the price.

OnePlus 15 Price in India (Leaked)

According to a leak on X (formerly Twitter), the base model of the OnePlus 15 with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage is expected to be priced at ₹72,999. The higher-end variant, featuring 16GB RAM and 512GB storage, could retail for ₹76,999.

Meanwhile, a report from one of the well-known TV news portals claims the leak originated from a trusted retailer. The report also adds that early buyers might receive a free pair of OnePlus Nord earbuds worth around ₹2,699 as part of a promotional bundle.

Although OnePlus hasn’t confirmed any pricing officially, several reports suggest the launch price will remain below ₹75,000, aligning closely with the launch price of the OnePlus 13, which debuted at ₹69,999 before dropping to around ₹63,999.

Launch Event and Early Access Sale

The OnePlus 15 launch event is scheduled for November 13 and will be live-streamed on the brand’s official channels. Before the official sale begins, OnePlus will host a special one-hour “early access” sale, giving fans an exclusive chance to purchase the phone ahead of its public release.

The smartphone will be available via Amazon India, the OnePlus online store, and authorised retail outlets across the country.

Ahead of the new launch, the OnePlus 13 has received a ₹6,000 price cut, bringing it down to ₹63,999 on Amazon, Croma, and the OnePlus website. Originally launched at ₹69,999 in January, this discount gives potential buyers a tempting alternative just before the OnePlus 15’s arrival.

So, the question is should you go for this reduced priced OnePlus 13, which is a season old? Or, should you wait for a few more days and get yourself a brand new and future ready OnePlus 15?

Let’s find out!

Upcoming OnePlus 15 VS Predecessor OnePlus 13

Design-wise, the OnePlus 13 featured a premium eco-leather back, while the upcoming OnePlus 15 will sport a matte glass finish and a square camera module, replacing the previous circular design. The new model is also slightly slimmer at 8.1mm compared to the 13’s 8.5mm, though both weigh under 215 grams.

The OnePlus 15 is said to feature a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display made by BOE with a 165Hz refresh rate and 1.5K resolution. By comparison, the OnePlus 13 offered a 6.82-inch 2K LTPO AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate. While the bump to 165Hz might sound impressive, most apps and games are still optimised for 120Hz, meaning the real-world difference could be minimal. However, the brighter 1,800-nit peak brightness on the OnePlus 15 (up from 1,600 nits) will improve outdoor visibility.

Camera-wise, the OnePlus 15 retains a triple 50MP setup similar to its predecessor but swaps out the Sony LYT808 sensor for a Sony IMX906. It also introduces a 3.5x periscope zoom lens, compared to the 13’s 3x zoom. This year, OnePlus is moving away from Hasselblad branding, replacing it with its own DetailMax Engine, which promises “improved clarity and realism through computation.”

Powering the new flagship is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip paired with UFS 4.1 storage, while the OnePlus 13 used the previous-gen Snapdragon 8 Elite with UFS 4.0. The newer processor is expected to deliver better power efficiency and smoother multitasking.

Battery performance sees a major upgrade, with the OnePlus 15 packing a 7,300mAh silicon-carbon cell that supports 120W wired and 50W wireless charging. The OnePlus 13, in comparison, had a 6,000mAh battery with 100W wired and 50W wireless charging. Both phones promise all-day battery life, but the 15’s larger capacity gives it the upper hand.

Software-wise, the OnePlus 15 will ship with Android 16, while the OnePlus 13 runs on Android 15. Both devices feature AI-enhanced tools and promise long-term software updates.

Verdict – Should You Wait for OnePlus 15 or Buy the Discounted OnePlus 13?

At ₹63,999, the OnePlus 13 remains an excellent value flagship with a proven design and reliable camera system. However, for those who can wait, the OnePlus 15 appears to be the more future-ready option, offering new hardware, better battery life, and a brighter display.

Basically, all for an expected price similar to the OnePlus 13’s original launch tag.

Apple Delays iPhone Air 2 Launch, No New Release Timeline Shared: Report

0

Highlights

  • Apple has reportedly pulled the iPhone Air 2 from its release schedule without sharing a new launch timeline.
  • The shelved model was expected to feature a slimmer design, larger battery, vapor chamber cooling, and a dual-camera setup.
  • A redesigned version could still launch in spring 2027 alongside iPhone 18 and 18e.

There have been speculations about what Apple might be planning for the next-generation iPhone Air after a lukewarm response to the slim phone this year. We even report that the Cupertino giant might be taking on a more challenging task and working on an even slimmer phone for next year. But denying all these murmurs, we are now hearing that Apple has, in fact, delayed the release of the iPhone Air 2.

A new report from The Information now reveals Apple has notified engineers and suppliers that they were taking the next iPhone Air off the schedule without providing a new release date,citing three individuals involved in the project. Here’s what we know based on recent words.

iPhone Air 2 Launch Plans Shelved?

The second-generation iPhone Air was originally expected to debut next fall alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Fold. As per the report, Apple’s plan for the device included a lighter design, a larger battery, and the introduction of the vapour chamber cooling system that first appeared in the iPhone 17 Pro.

A separate supply chain rumour from last week also hinted that the iPhone Air 2 might have featured a dual-camera setup, offering a notable upgrade over its predecessor.

However, those plans appear to be uncertain now. While Apple has not cancelled the iPhone Air 2 project entirely, The Information notes that some engineers and manufacturing partners are “still working on it.” Despite that, the company’s decision to remove the device from its roadmap is described as “rare if not unprecedented.”

Decline in iPhone Air Production

The report attributes the delay to lower-than-expected sales of the first-generation iPhone Air. Manufacturing partner Foxconn has reportedly “dismantled all but one and a half of its production lines for the first version and expects to halt all production by the end of the month.”

Meanwhile, another iPhone Air production partner Luxshare stopped manufacturing the model at the end of October.

Future iPhone Lineup and Possible iPhone Air 2 Revival

With the iPhone Air 2 now off schedule, Apple is reportedly set to launch three models next fall. These most likely will include the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and the iPhone Fold. The base iPhone 18 and the iPhone 18e are expected to follow in spring 2027.

Despite the uncertainty, there’s still a chance for the iPhone Air 2 to make a comeback. The Information adds, “It’s possible the product is undergoing a significant redesign, and one person said Apple could still release the second-generation iPhone Air as soon as spring 2027 alongside the standard iPhone 18 and budget-friendly 18e.”

Apple has not officially commented on the delay. If true, the decision highlights the company’s shifting focus as it prepares for major changes in its iPhone lineup.

FAQs

Q1. Has Apple officially cancelled the iPhone Air 2?

Answer. No, Apple hasn’t cancelled it entirely, but the device has been removed from the release roadmap with no new launch date shared.

Q2. Why was the iPhone Air 2 delayed?

Answer. The delay is reportedly due to low sales of the first-generation iPhone Air, leading Apple to scale back production and reconsider its plans.

Q3. Could the iPhone Air 2 still launch in the future?

Answer. Yes, sources suggest Apple may be redesigning the device and could release it as early as spring 2027 alongside the iPhone 18 and 18e.

Apple’s 20th Anniversary iPhone in 2027 To Feature Invisible Front Camera and In-Display Face ID

0

Highlights

  • Apple’s 2027 iPhone may debut a seamless display with under-screen Face ID and front camera.
  • LG Innotek is reportedly developing invisible under-display cameras with freeform optics to improve brightness and clarity.
  • Expected features include a 2nm A21 chip, pure-silicon anode battery, custom HDR sensor, Apple modem, and Samsung’s COE OLED tech.

A new leak claims that Apple’s 2027 iPhone could debut a completely seamless display with no visible camera cutouts. According to tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS) on Weibo, the company aims to place both the Face ID sensors and the front-facing camera beneath the screen.

“Apple’s plan for an under-screen front-facing camera is for 2027,DCS revealed, suggesting that the upcoming model like the iPhone 19 Pro or the 20th-anniversary iPhone may become the first truly all-screen device from Apple.

Apple’s Vision for Future iPhone

Apple’s long-term design ambition has always been to eliminate bezels and display cutouts entirely. It is inspired by former chief designer Jony Ive’s vision of “a single slab of glass.”

Multiple reports have already claimed that the future iPhone could finally bring this concept to life by embedding both Face ID and the selfie camera beneath the OLED display. This would create a fully uninterrupted viewing experience.

image

Reports suggest that Apple has been gradually moving toward this goal. The iPhone 18 Pro is expected in 2026 and is rumoured to introduce in-display Face ID, replacing the current Dynamic Island with a single punch-hole camera.

The In-Screen Cameras

While several Android smartphones have experimented with under-display cameras, image quality has been a significant hurdle. Photos often suffer from lower brightness, contrast loss, and reduced detail because light must pass through the display layers.

Given Apple’s reputation for high camera standards, the company has reportedly been cautious about adopting this technology prematurely.

image

However, developments from Apple’s suppliers hint that the technology is maturing. An April 2024 report revealed that LG Innotek is developing under-display camera systems that remain invisible when inactive. These cameras use a “freeform optic” multi-lens array designed to minimise distortion and improve brightness, compensating for light loss that typically occurs in such setups.

It’s still unclear whether LG Innotek’s tech will debut in Apple’s long-rumoured foldable iPhone. But a JP Morgan report indicated that Apple’s first foldable model could include a 24MP camera beneath the inner display. It will be a significant leap from the 4MP and 8MP sensors found in current under-screen implementations. This advancement would enhance both light transmittance and image clarity.

Other Upcoming iPhone Hardware Enhancements

Alongside display innovations, Apple is said to be working on several next-generation hardware upgrades. These may include a pure-silicon anode battery offering higher energy density without increasing device size, and Mobile High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) to boost data transfer speeds and power efficiency.

Other expected improvements include a custom HDR sensor for better photo dynamic range and an Apple-designed modem chip to replace Qualcomm components, promising enhanced performance and connectivity.

The 2027 iPhone may also be powered by the second-generation 2-nanometer A21 chip, delivering higher efficiency and performance. Additionally, Apple could use a brighter and thinner OLED panel incorporating Samsung’s Colour Filter on Encapsulation (COE) technology to improve light transmission while reducing power consumption.

The details currently making headlines are all based on leaks and speculations. It is better to take all the updates with a pinch of salt and wait for more updates.

FAQs

Q1. What major design change is expected in Apple’s 2027 iPhone?

Answer. Apple plans to introduce a seamless all-screen design by placing both the Face ID sensors and front camera beneath the display, eliminating visible cutouts.

Q2. Why has Apple delayed adopting under-display camera technology?

Answer. Apple has prioritised image quality and waited for advancements like LG Innotek’s freeform optics, which improve brightness and clarity by compensating for light loss through the screen.

Q3. What other hardware upgrades are rumoured for the 2027 iPhone?

Answer. Expected enhancements include a 2nm A21 chip, pure-silicon anode battery, custom HDR sensor, Apple-designed modem, and Samsung’s COE OLED panel for better efficiency and brightness.

0

Highlights

  • The Galaxy S26 is expected to feature a 6.3″ M14 AMOLED display, IP68 rating, and a sleek 6.9mm profile.
  • It will likely be powered by the Exynos 2600 or Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 (region-dependent) with a 4,300mAh battery and native Qi2 magnetic charging support.
  • Leaks suggest a triple-camera setup with upgraded 50MP sensors and a March 2026 launch for the Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra.

The Samsung Galaxy S26 series is still several months away from launch. But detailed leaks have already begun to paint a clear picture of what the next Samsung flagship lineup could offer. Latest leaks have shared all, from design changes to performance upgrades. Here’s what we know based on recent leaks.

Samsung Galaxy S26 – Key Specifications (Expected)

Well-known tipster Debayan Roy @Gadgetsdata on X (formerly Twitter) has shared a list of specs of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26. According to the post, the phone is expected to sport a 6.3-inch M14 AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Powering the device could be the Exynos 2600 chipset, accompanied by a 4,300mAh battery supporting 25W fast charging.

The device may also carry an IP68 dust and water resistance rating and feature an ultra-slim profile at just 6.9mm thick, down from the 7.2mm thickness of the Galaxy S25.

Meanwhile, another popular tipster PhoneArt @UniverseIce on X too recently shared an image of what seems to be a factory schematic of the base Galaxy S26. The leak confirms that the phone’s 6.9mm thickness makes it 0.3mm slimmer than its predecessor, potentially making it one of the thinnest flagship phones Samsung has ever made when it launches in early 2026.

The camera design is also getting a noticeable change. The rear camera setup reportedly shifts to a vertical pill-shaped module, similar to the one seen on the Galaxy Z Fold 7. However, the most interesting addition is a magnetic ring surrounding the wireless charging coil.

Unlike software-based labels, this is native Qi2 hardware, allowing the Galaxy S26 to magnetically attach to chargers, wallets, stands, and car mounts, similar to Apple’s MagSafe system. This not only improves coil alignment but also enhances accessory compatibility and mounting stability.

The Galaxy S26 is tipped to feature a triple-camera setup on the rear, consisting of a 50MP primary sensor with Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS), a 50MP ultrawide camera, and a 12MP telephoto lens. In comparison, the Galaxy S25 offered a 10MP telephoto and 12MP ultrawide camera, suggesting that the upcoming model will bring a noticeable leap in imaging performance.

Moreover, the Galaxy S26 and S26+ are expected to launch with Samsung’s 2nm Exynos 2600 SoC in most global markets, while the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 could power variants sold in the US and China.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Series Launch Timeline

Traditionally, Samsung launches its Galaxy S-series flagships in January or February each year. However, according to leaks, the Galaxy S26 lineup might debut in March 2026. Reports further suggest the lineup will include the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra.

In any case, these details are based on early leaks and should be taken with a pinch of salt until Samsung makes an official announcement.

FAQs

Q1. What are the expected display and design changes in the Galaxy S26?

Answer. The Galaxy S26 is expected to feature a 6.3-inch M14 AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a slimmer 6.9mm profile, making it thinner than the Galaxy S25.

Q2. What chipset will power the Galaxy S26 series?

Answer. Leaks suggest the Galaxy S26 and S26+ will use Samsung’s 2nm Exynos 2600 in most markets, while the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 may be used in the US and China.

Q3. What camera and charging upgrades are expected in Galaxy S26?

Answer. The Galaxy S26 may include a 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide, and 12MP telephoto lens, along with native Qi2 magnetic charging for better accessory alignment and stability.

The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has officially launched a new Aadhaar app to make it easier and safer for citizens to carry and share their Aadhaar information. The new app complements the existing mAadhaar app and offers a simplified, paperless experience for users who want to store and securely share their Aadhaar card digitally. It is currently available for download on both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.

Here’s all you need to know.

New Aadhaar App – Overview and Key Features

UIDAI has clarified that the new Aadhaar app is not a replacement for the mAadhaar app. While mAadhaar allows users to download digital Aadhaar cards, order PVC cards, verify registered mobile or email IDs, and generate virtual IDs, the new app primarily serves as a digital wallet for securely storing and showing your Aadhaar card.

The agency explained that the new Aadhaar app enables citizens to carry their Aadhaar details in a convenient digital format, ensuring that they no longer need to rely on printed or PDF versions. Though services like DigiLocker already allow Aadhaar storage, this new app introduces a more intuitive interface and a two-step access process for added security and ease of use.

One of the standout features of the app is its ability to store multiple Aadhaar profiles. Users can store up to five Aadhaar cards linked to the same mobile number. This allows users to keep their family members’ Aadhaar cards in one place. All data can be accessed securely within the app, and Aadhaar details can be shared as verifiable digital credentials.

Additionally, users can enable a biometric lock for added protection. Once activated, the biometric data remains locked until the user temporarily disables it. The app also updates the Aadhaar profile automatically after successful data updates. It supports QR code scanning and sharing, making it easier to use Aadhaar details for various services or transactions directly from the app.

How to Use the New Aadhaar App?

Setting up the new Aadhaar app is straightforward and all you have to do is follow the steps below –

  • Download and install the app from the Play Store or App Store.
  • Select your preferred language and enter your 12-digit Aadhaar number.
  • The app will prompt you to send an SMS from your Aadhaar-registered mobile number.
  • After receiving the OTP, complete the face authentication process.
  • Finally, set a six-digit password to secure your account.

Once the setup is complete, users can view their Aadhaar card on the profile page, mask details, share information securely, or add a biometric lock. The same process can be used to add up to four more Aadhaar profiles. This makes the app an all-in-one solution for digital Aadhaar management.

FAQs

Q1. What is the purpose of the new Aadhaar app launched by UIDAI?

Answer. The new Aadhaar app serves as a secure digital wallet for storing and sharing multiple Aadhaar cards, offering a paperless and user-friendly experience.

Q2. How many Aadhaar profiles can be stored in the app?

Users can store up to five Aadhaar profiles linked to the same mobile number, making it convenient to manage family members’ Aadhaar cards in one place.

Q3. What security features does the new Aadhaar app offer?

Answer. The app includes a two-step access process, biometric lock, masked Aadhaar display, and secure QR code sharing to protect user data and enhance privacy.

Apple to Bring Satellite Connectivity to Maps and Messages, Enabling iPhones to Work Without Mobile Networks

0

Highlights

  • Apple plans to extend satellite connectivity beyond emergency use, enabling Maps and Messages to work without mobile networks in remote areas.
  • New tech will allow iPhones to connect to satellites without needing line-of-sight, maintaining signal even in pockets, cars, or bags.
  • Apple is also working on 5G Non-Terrestrial Networks and tools for developers to build offline-capable apps for travel, health, and safety.

It appears Apple is taking significant steps to make the iPhone more reliable in areas with limited or no mobile coverage. The company is expanding its satellite connectivity features beyond emergency use and is aiming to integrate them into Apple Maps and Messages. If successful, this move would allow iPhone users to navigate, communicate, and stay connected even without cellular networks, making the iPhone far more useful in remote and off-grid locations.

Apple Expanding Satellite Capabilities on iPhone

Apple first introduced Emergency SOS via Satellite in 2022 with the iPhone 14 series, allowing users to contact emergency services without network coverage. The service is powered by Globalstar and currently supports SOS messaging and roadside assistance in critical situations.

However, according to a new report, Apple is now working on advanced satellite connectivity technology that will allow iPhones to connect to satellites directly without requiring users to point their devices toward the sky. This means the connection could remain active even if the iPhone is in a pocket, car, or bag, offering a much more seamless and practical experience in areas with no mobile signal.

Integration With Maps and Messages

The upcoming feature aims to bring satellite connectivity to Apple Maps and Messages, two of the most widely used iPhone applications. Through this integration, users would be able to access navigation, receive location updates, and send text messages even in areas completely cut off from cellular networks.

Although satellite connectivity won’t replace traditional mobile networks, it is expected to enhance user safety and accessibility by providing essential communication features in low-coverage or off-grid environments.

Apple Working on 5G NTN Support

In addition to the satellite integration, Apple is also said to be developing support for 5G NTN (Non-Terrestrial Networks). This technology combines satellite and terrestrial mobile networks, ensuring stronger and more consistent coverage, particularly in regions where connectivity frequently drops.

The company is further developing a framework for app developers, which would allow third-party apps such as those related to travel, health, and safety to function even without an internet connection.

FAQs

Q1. What new satellite features is Apple planning for iPhones?

Answer. Apple is expanding satellite connectivity beyond emergency use to support Apple Maps and Messages, allowing navigation and texting without mobile networks.

Q2. Will users need to point their iPhones toward the sky to use satellite features?

Answer. No, Apple is developing technology that enables seamless satellite connection even when the iPhone is in a pocket, car, or bag.

Q3. What is 5G NTN and how is Apple involved?

Answer. Apple is working on 5G Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN), which combine satellite and mobile networks for stronger, more consistent coverage in low-signal areas.
