Fresh CAD-based renders of the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra have surfaced online that show the phone from different angles. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra successor is expected to be unveiled early next year. In the first render below, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is seen with a flat display and slim, uniform bezels. The corners of the display appear to be more rounded than last year's model.

The Honor MagicPad 3 Pro is expected to launch next month in China alongside the Magic8 series. Ahead of the official unveiling, specifications and design of the upcoming tablet have been leaked. Honor MagicPad 3 Pro is confirmed to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC. A new leak suggests that the tablet will offer similar specifications as the base MagicPad 3. According to tipster Digital Chat Station, the MagicPad 3 Pro will come with a 13.3-inch LCD display that will offer a refresh rate of 165Hz and a 3200 x 2136 pixels resolution.

Honor will launch the Magic8 series soon, and the devices will be powered by Qualcomm's recently unveiled Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC. If you were wondering how well it would perform, no need to wonder anymore, as Honor's Li Kun has shared the Magic8's AnTuTu results on Weibo earlier today. As you can see from the screenshot below, the phone managed a total score of 4,166,339 in AnTuTu v11.

The iQOO 15 is expected to be unveiled in China next month, with an international debut anticipated before the end of the year. The brand has already revealed the iQOO 15's design and a few other features, but today it confirmed the most important part of the phone's specs sheet - the processor. iQOO has confirmed that the iQOO 15 will be powered by the freshly announced Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 flagship chip.

The third-generation Oryon CPU delivers 20 percent better performance, while the new Adreno GPU delivers 23 percent more graphics power. A special addition is support for the Advanced Professional Video (APV) codec. This allows users to record professional video content with a smartphone for the first time. In addition, Christopher Patrick, SVP and General Manager of Handsets at Qualcomm, states that this chip also "enables personalized AI agents to see what you see, hear what you hear and think with you in real time."

According to a new leak by a tipster over on X, the upcoming Xiaomi 16 Ultra will feature a very prominent Leica logo - the famous one, in fact, with the red circle and white Leica lettering inside it. Thus, it seems that Xiaomi's partnership with Leica is still going strong, and might even become stronger than it has been, if this is any indication.
