According to a tipster, the Find X9 Ultra is being tested with a BOE OLED display with a 2K resolution and a refresh rate of 144Hz. However, the tipster claims that the retail unit may offer a 120Hz panel. The phone is also tipped to feature a 7,050mAh battery. If accurate, this would be a big jump from the 6,100mAh cell in the Find X8 Ultra. Notably, in December last year, Oppo's Zhou Yibao had confirmed that the X9 Ultra would offer a battery larger than 7,000mAh.

Like previous Honor RSR Porsche Design models, the latest Magic8 variant features a distinctive design with styling cues inspired by Porsche supercars. It also sports a nano-ceramic rear panel, which Honor claims offers a Mohs hardness rating of 8.5. Additionally, the Magic8 RSR Porsche Design is said to be 10% lighter than its predecessor. Notably, the camera module design is inspired by the matrix headlights seen on classic Porsche models.

vivo seems to be getting ready to launch the upcoming X300 Ultra outside of China as well, which is very welcome news since that hasn't been the case for its predecessors. The global version of the X300 Ultra, with the model number V2562, has been certified in Europe ahead of its release.

The headline feature of this one is a 10,000mAh battery! Yes, 10k, not a typo. The Honor Win will become fully official on Thursday, and we'll have the full details then. The teasers suggest excellent gaming performance and an active fan to help maintain Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 nicely cool. It's paired with 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage. The company claimed an AnTuTu v10 score of over 4.4 million points, though we weren't able to test that at this point.

Interested customers can pre-order the Magic8 Pro starting today from Honor's online store and other online retailers across the UAE. The phone is available in 12GB/512GB and 16GB/1TB variants. Those who pre-order the phone will also receive free gifts worth AED 2,299 ($815) that include the Honor Watch5 Ultra, a 3-month free trial of Google AI Pro, and Honor VIP Care+ 12-month damage protection. The pre-orders will end on December 18.

The Poco F8 Ultra is powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC, paired with the VisionBoost D8 chipset. It also features a 6,700 mm2 vapor chamber for improved cooling. The Ultra comes with a 6.9-inch AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution, 3,500-nit peak brightness, and up to 120Hz adaptive refresh rate. The display offers slim bezels and an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner.

Additionally, there are two sound profiles tuned by Bose engineers: a Dynamic mode that delivers extra bass, and a Balanced option that emphasizes vocals and a more even soundstage. "By combining Bose's expertise in acoustic engineering with Poco's innovation in design and technology, Poco F8 Series achieves a level of clarity and depth that redefines what's possible in mobile sound," said Nick Smith, president of audio technology and chief strategy officer at Bose.

The iQOO 15 arrives just in time to once again be among the first smartphones powered by Qualcomm's latest flagship chipset. As expected from the series, it delivers an impressive value proposition - undercutting most premium competitors while making few, if any, meaningful compromises. Aside from the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, several other aspects work in the iQOO 15's favor. The company is making meaningful improvements, even with the price increase. The display is one of those improvements. It's roughly the same size as before - 6.85 inches - but now carries additional HDR certifications, including Dolby Vision, and promises higher peak brightness.
