Xiaomi 17 Series Launch Later This Month, Secondary Rear Display Making a Comeback

Xiaomi 17 series launch has been confirmed to take place later this month, and it should likely be soon after Qualcomm announces its Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. The chipset is set to be announced on September 23 which means that the Xiaomi 17 series will launch in the last week of September, likely on the 26th if rumours are to be believed. The design of the higher end Pro models has also been revealed in a teaser.

Xiaomi is skipping the number 16 this year for the naming of its flagship lineup of smartphones, instead calling them Xiaomi 17 series, lining up with the iPhone 17 series. Further, the models will be called Xiaomi 17, Xiaomi 17 Pro, and Xiaomi 17 Pro Max, also identical to the iPhone 17 lineup. It is worth noting that last year’s models were called Xiaomi 15, Xiaomi 15 Pro, and Xiaomi 15 Ultra.

Aside from the confirmation of the Xiaomi 17 series launch, the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max’s design was also revealed by the Chinese smartphone maker. It shows that the device will get a secondary rear display, similar to the Xiaomi 11 Ultra from a few years back, but this one will be bigger. It will cover the whole rectangular camera module and will go around the two camera sensors. There will be third sensor outside of the camera module. Leica partnership is also expected to continue this year for tuning the cameras of the phones.

Xiaomi 17 Pro Max Rear

The lineup will be the first to feature Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. The Xiaomi 17 Pro is expected to feature a 6.3-inch LTPO display with a 120Hz and ultra-thin 1.1mm bezels.

On the camera front, it could sport a triple 50-megapixel setup, including a primary sensor, a periscope telephoto lens, and an ultrawide shooter. The device may also offer IP69-rated dust and water resistance, an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner, and a large 6,300mAh battery with support for both 100W wired and wireless fast charging.

The base Xiaomi 17 is likely to offer a similar experience with a 6.3-inch 1.5K LTPO display and an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. It could come with a 7,000mAh battery supporting 100W wired and 50W wireless charging. Dust and water resistance is expected to be or certified. Photography could be handled by three 50-megapixel at the back, along with a 32-megapixel front-facing camera.

Both models are expected to run on 16-based HyperOS 3, bringing improved software features alongside their hardware upgrades.

Nothing AI-Native Devices Coming Next Year: Carl Pei

Carl Pei has confirmed that new Nothing AI-native devices are coming from the brand next year. The news comes alongside the announcement made by Nothing regarding its Series C funding round. The company has raised USD $200M in its Series C round at a USD $1.3B valuation.

“This milestone marks the start of our next phase: From being the only independent smartphone company to emerge in the last decade, towards building an AI-native platform in which hardware and software converge into a single intelligent system,” said Nothing in a community post.

”From award-winning design, to our global manufacturing and supply chain network built for quality and cost. In four years, we have shipped millions of devices, began 2025 crossing $1B+ in total sales, while growing 150% in 2024,” the company noted. However, Nothing is still in its loss-making stage, as confirmed by Carl Pei in a recent YouTube video on Nothing’s channel.

The round was by Tiger Global, “with significant support from existing shareholders GV, Highland Europe, EQT, Latitude, I2BF and Tapestry, alongside new strategic backing from Nikhil Kamath and Qualcomm Ventures.” In addition, the company is also planning to launch its next community round.

What’s Next: Nothing AI-Native Devices, New Operating Systems, and More

“We see a future where operating systems are significantly different from the ones today,” Pei said. “Each system will know its user deeply and be hyper-personalised to each individual. Interfaces will adapt to our context and needs. Suggestions will surface naturally, and once we confirm an intent, agents will execute on our behalf. The system will handle the non-essential for us, allowing us to focus on what truly matters, which will be different for every person.”

Pei added that, unlike current one-size-fits-all solutions, “a billion different operating systems will be rendered for a billion different people.”

Nothing’s operating system will initially power smartphones, audio devices, and smartwatches — products that are already deeply integrated into daily life. Over time, the is expected to expand into smart glasses, humanoid robots, electric vehicles (EVs), and other emerging technologies, ensuring a seamless and consistent experience across all form factors.

According to the company, owning the “last-mile distribution point” and understanding users’ behavior and context is crucial for building an AI-driven OS that truly helps people. “An AI OS that doesn’t know its user and isn’t ever-present can’t deliver a hyper-personalised experience,” Pei explained. He believes this approach will redefine how technology interacts with individuals by integrating AI experiences directly into hardware.

While Pei believes that the smartphone will remain the only device shipping at billion-unit scale each year, there will also be an additional device people will be carrying alongside. As a result, Pei confirmed that new Nothing AI-native devices will be coming next year. “The smartphone, while powerful, can’t always be there for us. Sometimes it’s in our pocket, or we might be on the move with our hands full. A new class of AI-native devices will emerge. Products that are available to the user at the moment of need, paired with intelligence that turns understanding into action,” he added.

These devices will be able to capture context across modalities and generate interfaces on demand, shaped by what the user is trying to accomplish. “We have been hard at work imagining what this future could look like, and can’t wait to launch some of our first AI-native devices next year,” Pei confirmed. The company didn’t confirm what these devices could be, but they could range from Smart Glasses to other enhanced wearables.

OnePlus 15 Photo Leaked, New Camera Module Shows Up

A new OnePlus 15 photo has surfaced online on the Chinese microblogging website, Weibo. The leak shows that the device will come with a revamped camera module where the brand has seemingly given up on the circular module. Here’s everything to know about the new leak.

The new OnePlus 15 photo shared online shows the design of the handset in three colour options, including the green, black, and purple, which will likely be marketed at Absolute Black, Mist Purple and Dune. The leaked photos suggest that the company has replaced its iconic circular camera module with a square one which has three cameras, out of which the two are inside a pill-shaped cutout.

This change has already leaked once before but now we have an actual real world look. As for the specs, expect to see a 6.75-inch flat display with a 1.5K resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate. It will likely pack the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset whose name was also confirmed recently. Further, it should pack a huge 7000mAh battery with 120W wired charging and 50W wireless charging as well.

In terms optics, you can expect a main wide sensor, paired with an ultra-wide angle sensor and a telephoto sensor, all of which will be powered by OnePlus’ in-house image engine. That is because the company recently announced the ending of its 5-year long partnership with Hasselblad.

Meanwhile, the company recently began selling the OnePlus Pad 3 in India, its latest flagship tablet. OnePlus Pad 3 comes is priced at Rs 47,999 for the 12GB + 256GB model and the 16GB + 512GB model costs Rs 52,999. The OnePlus Pad 3 features a large 13.2-inch 3.4K display with a Resolution of 3392 × 2400 pixels, 315 PPI, and a peak brightness of 900 nits (HBM). The panel supports a 144Hz variable refresh rate (ranging between 144Hz and 30Hz) along with a 540Hz touch sampling rate. Under the hood, the tablet is powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite 3nm chipset

Moreover, they’ll receive OS and security updates for 7 years from launch, according to the leak, which could be huge if true, as this update policy has been limited to the flagship devices from Samsung so far.

Nothing Phone 3 Discount Offer Slashes Price to ₹34,999 for Old Users: Is It Worth the Upgrade?

Nothing has rolled out an appealing opportunity for its loyal users — the Nothing Phone 3 discount offer brings the device down to ₹34,999 for those upgrading from Phone (1) and Phone (2). This deal is available during Flipkart’s Big Billion Days Sale, with the 12GB + 256GB variant offered at ₹34,999 and the 16GB + 512GB model at ₹44,999, providing discounts of up to ₹45,000.

Nothing Phone 3 Key Specs

The Nothing Phone 3 discount offer is designed to make its latest upgrades accessible to a wider audience. Here’s what you get with the device:

  • Display: A 6.67-inch AMOLED LTPS screen with a 1.5K Resolution (2800 x 1260 pixels), 30Hz to 120Hz refresh rate support, 10-bit colour depth, HDR10+, 1600 nits in HBM mode and 4500 nits peak brightness, 2160Hz PWM dimming, along with a 1000Hz touch sampling rate. It is protected with Corning Gorilla Glass 7i.
  • Processor: Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 for faster, more efficient performance.
  • Camera: Triple 50MP rear cameras along with a 50MP front camera.
  • Battery: A robust 5500mAh battery with 65W wired and 15W wireless charging support.
  • Software: Android 15-based Nothing OS 3.5, with an update to OS 4.0 coming soon.

These upgrades make the Phone 3 a notable step up from its predecessors in terms of power and functionality.

How to Claim the Offer?

To take advantage of this Nothing Phone 3 discount offer, users must register their Phone (1) or Phone (2) number at Flipkart. After verification, the price of the Phone 3 will drop and you’ll be able to see it during checkout, similar to how the regular exchange process works on Flipkart.

Should You Upgrade?

With the Nothing Phone 3 discount offer, upgrading becomes much more appealing. The original price of the device, which was Rs 79,999, was quite steep and made it irrelevant in the segment where devices like the Galaxy S25, iPhone 16, etc. exist.

However, at Rs 34,999 for the Phone 1 and Phone 2 users, the much improved processor, better display, advanced camera system, a larger battery, and faster charging are clear benefits. However, some users have pointed out that the Phone 3 lacks features like an LTPO display and Gorilla Glass protection available in the Phone (2). Despite that, the Phone 3 is still a decent upgrade over the Phone 2.

Final Verdict

As per the co-founder of Nothing, the offer is more relevant for Phone 1 users who won’t be getting any major OS updates further, including the latest upcoming Nothing OS 4.0 based on Android 16. In our opinion, Phone 1 and Phone 2 users shouldn’t miss the offer and should definitely upgrade their devices if they plan to stick with Nothing for the coming years.

Qualcomm Confirms Another Name Change, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Coming This Month

Qualcomm renamed its flagship mobile chip’s model name last year for the second time, calling it the Snapdragon 8 Elite while everybody expected it to be called the 8 Gen 4. Now, the company is combining the two names, confirming that its next flagship mobile chip will be called the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.

”It might look like we skipped generations, but the truth is simpler — and more powerful. Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 marks the fifth generation of our premium 8-series platforms since we introduced our new single digit naming and visual identity. By aligning with Gen 5, we’re reinforcing its leadership position and simplifying how consumers understand our product roadmap,” the company said in a blog post. This effectively confirms that last year’s chip was indeed the 8 Gen 4.

The company doesn’t think of this as change in naming strategy, but calls it an “unprecedented moment in our roadmap.” “Snapdragon 8 Elite was introduced last year as a new tier within our premium lineup, marking unprecedented performance gains. As the first of its kind, it debuted as a standalone platform,” it added.

It further confirmed that “the “Elite” name is reserved for our most industry-leading products—those that push boundaries in capability, experience and innovation.” Qualcomm says that its next-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite leads the charge, and is part of a broader roadmap. “You’ll see some upcoming mobile platforms adopt Gen 5 as well. Our naming helps consumers and OEMs alike understand where each product fits and when it makes its debut.”

Qualcomm’s annual Summit begins on September 23 where the company will debut its Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. Xiaomi has already confirmed that the Xiaomi 17, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. The same is expected to power the Galaxy S26 series, possibly under the name “Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy.”
