We are about six months away from the S26 series launch (if Samsung’s past 2 years’ launch timeline is to be followed) and leaks have begun pouring in for the devices. The latest leaks tells us about the Galaxy S26 Ultra battery with regards to its capacity and energy density. Here’s everything to know about them.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Battery Details

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra battery size is expected to be the same as previous seven generations of Ultra flagships, and that is 5000mAh, according to a Galaxy Club report. Tipster IceUniverse backed the leak on X while also suggesting that Samsung has increased the battery density this time around, which means the battery size is substantially decreased.

This allows for more space within the device but Samsung hasn’t made use of it to add any new features. Instead, the leak says that the company may have used this advantage to make the device slimmer. Furthermore, the tipster added, “I also think that the charging power of the S26 Ultra has finally been substantially improved because they used new technology to reduce the temperature of the battery during charging.”

However, the exact speeds weren’t mentioned. Samsung has stuck to 45W speeds for a few years now but seeing an increase in charging speeds at leat would be a welcome upgrade considering the battery size isn’t increasing even by a bit.

Samsung will also have to work on the optimisation part as other brands, especially those from China, are moving towards 7000mAh cells which drastically improves the runtimes. With a 5000mAh cell, Samsung definitely won’t be able to match the performance of a flagship from a Chinese brand but software optimisation would play a key role.

We should know more about the devices once we get closer to launch.

The Nothing Phone 3 launched yesterday with a starting price of $799 in the US (around ₹68,400) — but in India, where the phone is actually manufactured, it starts at a steep Rs 79,999. Let that sink in: a product made in India is significantly more expensive for Indian buyers than for customers thousands of miles away.

Shortly after the pricing of the Nothing Phone 3 was announced, it sparked a conversation amongst the tech enthusiasts and Nothing fans on X due to the unbelievable price tag when considering the specifications of the handset and what the competitors are offering. While some disliked the design of the handset, most were concerned about the price tag of the device. While the pricing in India is already steep, the fact that the device is manufactured locally makes the whole situation more ironic and frustrating for the users here in the country.

Despite heavy government push for local manufacturing and incentives under the “Make in India” campaign, Indian consumers continue to face inflated pricing. The Phone 3 is reportedly assembled at a facility in Tamil Nadu, which should, in theory, cut costs by avoiding hefty import duties. Unfortunately, it doesn’t.

With a price difference of around Rs 12,000 to Rs 13,000 for both the variants sold in the US and India, the Nothing Phone 3 will cost cheaper in the former region. Whether the device justifies the price tag is a question that’ll be answered when we review it but till then, the device looks like a hard sell here in the country where it is made.

What does this business decision imply? It’s clear Nothing sees India as a growth market — but not necessarily one it wants to prioritize when it comes to selling its higher-end phones. While the brand’s A-series and CMF products are decently priced in the country and do justify their asking prices, the Nothing Phone 3 seems like an exception so far.

In comparison, other Snapdragon 8s Gen 4-powered devices like the iQOO Neo 10 and the Poco F7 have a sub-Rs 40,000 price tag. Moreover, they pack bigger batteries, better displays, along with faster charging as well. Furthermore, at Rs 80,000, you could get a Galaxy S24 Ultra, a Vivo X200, an Oppo Find X8, or a OnePlus 13, etc., all of which are more powerful and sport some or the other superior feature to the Nothing Phone 3.

At the very least, if a product is made locally, the benefits should trickle down to the buyer. With the Nothing Phone 3, that clearly hasn’t happened.

Nothing Phone (3) and Nothing Headphone (1) have been announced in India and around the globe. The new flagship smartphone from Nothing packs a new Glyph Matrix system that replaces the Glpyh Interface from previous Nothing phones.

As for runtime, there’s a 1040mAh battery inside the headphones that can get you up to 80 hours of playback time with ANC off and up to 35 hours with ANC enabled. If you play music with LDAC codec enabled, runtime with ANC would be 30 hours and 54 hours without ANC. You can get up to 5 hours of playback time with a 5-minute charge when ANC is off.

Apple’s Siri is in a weird position at the moment considering it hasn’t been given the upgrade it was promised months ago due to which it majorly lacks behind its competitors. However, a new report suggests that Apple could be eyeing AI technologies from Anthropic or OpenAI to power Siri.

The report from Bloomberg suggests that Apple has talked with both Anthropic and OpenAI about using their large language models for Siri, and has asked them to train versions of their models that could run on Apple’s cloud infrastructure for testing. Apple relying on Anthropic or OpenAI to power Siri could be a notable sign that the company is struggling with its own AI models which may not be enough to bring an upgrade for Siri that is of Apple’s standards.

The company currently relies on its in-house technology, known as Apple Foundation Models, to power most of its AI features. It had also been planning to launch a new version of its voice assistant based on this technology in 2026. The revamped Siri was teased back in 2024 and the company also announced a partnership with OpenAI to power Siri features where the assistant would forward the query to ChatGPT for a more detailed and relevant reply.

The capabilities that were teased would allow to Siri to access users’ personal data and analyse on-screen content to better fulfil queries. The company also demonstrated technology that would let Siri more precisely control apps and features across Apple devices. While Apple initially announced plans for an early 2025 release, it ultimately delayed the launch indefinitely. The new features are now expected to debut in Spring of 2026.

”Apple’s investigation into third-party models is at an early stage, and the company hasn’t made a final decision on using them, the people said. A competing project internally dubbed LLM Siri that uses in-house models remains in active development,” said Bloomberg.

Senior executives at Apple, including Craig Federighi, do not see the “need for Apple to rely on its own models — which they currently consider inferior — when it can partner with third parties instead, according to the people,” the report read.

If Apple does opt for this route, it would mirror Samsung’s approach where most of its Galaxy AI features are powered by Google’s Gemini nano model. Bloomberg said that in talks with both Anthropic and OpenAI, the iPhone maker asked for customized versions of Claude and ChatGPT that could run on its Private Cloud Compute servers — a system built on high-end Mac chips that Apple already uses to power its advanced in-house models.

The reason behind using Apple’s own servers is in the interest of users’ privacy which it thinks it’ll be able to safeguard better instead when using third-party infrastructure.

As of now, Apple hasn’t been able to reach a deal with Anthropic due to disagreement on financial terms. Anthropic “is seeking a multibillion-dollar annual fee that increases sharply each year. The struggle to reach a deal has left Apple contemplating working with OpenAI or others if it moves forward with the third-party plan,” Bloomberg’s sources said.

If rumours are to be believed, Google will be launching its next-gen Pixels in August and ahead of the launch, the Pixel 10 series specs have been leaked, which give us a good idea of what to expect from the devices. Here’s everything to know about the new leak for the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL specifications.

Pixel 10 Series Specs: Everything to Know

The Pixel 10 series specs were leaked by Android Headlines. The report suggests that the Pixel 10 will sport a 6.3-inch FHD+ display, with a 120Hz refresh rate, Corning’s Gorilla Glass Victus 2 for protection, 2000 nits brightness in HBM model and 3000 nits peak brightness. It will be powered by the Tensor G5 chipset, manufactured by TSMC on a 3nm node, paired with 12GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of storage.

Under the hood, there’ll be a 4970mAh battery with wired charging speeds increasing to 29W, and wireless speeds of 15W over Qi2. For optics, there’ll be a 48-megapixel primary sensor, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide angle sensor, and a 10.5-megapixel 5x telephoto sensor.

Speaking of downgrades, in comparison to the Pixel 9, the Pixel 10 comes with an inferior camera setup, no vapour chamber, and no Wi-Fi 7. However, it does sport a brighter display, a telephoto sensor, a larger battery with faster charging speeds along with a more efficient and powerful chip.

Coming to the Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL specs, they’ll have a 6.3-inch and 6.8-inch display, respectively. These will continue to support LTPO technology with 1-120Hz refresh rates, along with 3,000 nits of peak brightness. They will also use Corning’s Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on both the front and back.

Both of them will be powered by the Tensor G5 Processor paired with 16GB of RAM. However, storage is where things differ just a little bit. The Pixel 10 Pro will sport 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB storage options. The Pixel 10 Pro XL on the other hand will skip the 128GB model, and offer 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB.

The camera setup remains largely the same on the two as their predecessors, including a 50-megapixel primary sensor, a 48-megapixel ultra-wide angle sensor, and a 48-megapixel 5x telephoto lens. The front-facing camera will still be a 42-megapixel shooter. The report says that both the ultra-wide and the telephoto shooters will be capable of macro this year.

The Pixel 10 Pro will sport a 4,870mAh with 29W wired charging while the Pro XL will have the largest ever battery in a Pixel, with a 5200mAh cell charging at up to 39W speeds. The Pixel 10 Pro battery seems to be smaller than that of the Pixel 10, likely due to the inclusion of the vapour chamber in the Pro model which the vanilla model lacks.They’ll have 15W wireless charging support with Qi2 tech.

Pixel 10 Series Launch Date (Leaked)

The Pixel 10 series will likely be announced on August 20 with sales beginning from August 28, according to rumours. We’ll know more once an official confirmation from the brand comes in.

Update 08/07/2025: Realme India has confirmed that the Realme 15 series will be launched in India on July 24. The series will consist of the Realme 15 and the 15 Pro. The Realme 15 Pro is confirmed to be made available in three colour options: Flowing Silver, Velvet Green, and Silk Purple.

Original Story Below

Realme 15 series India launch has been teased by the brand with no exact date confirmation as of now. The new devices will succeed the Realme 14 series from earlier this year and will consist of the Realme 15 and the Realme 15 Pro. A few details of the latter have also been leaked before.

Realme 15 Series India Launch

The launch of the devices was confirmed via Realme’s website where a microsite for the devices has been created. As of now, there are no leaks which suggest how the devices’ design looks. However, a report from earlier this month revealed the storage variants and colour options for the Realme 15 Pro 5G.

The report from 91Mobiles, citing unnamed sources, stated that the Realme 15 Pro, bearing model number RMX5101, will be launched in four variants in the country — 8GB + 128GB, 8GB + 256GB, 12GB + 256GB, and 12GB + 512GB. In addition, it is said to come in flowing silver, silk purple, and velvet green colour options. The device may be launched at a similar price point as the Realme 14 Pro 5G, which started at Rs 24,999.

As for the vanilla version, that will come in 8GB + 256GB, 12GB + 256GB, and 12GB + 512GB variants and will be available in the same colour options as the Realme 15 Pro except for the silk purple shade which will be replaced by the silk pink. Aside from that, we don’t know anything else about the devices.

The devices could compete with competitors under the Rs 30,000 mark in India. However, these are purely speculations and leaks so take them with a pinch of salt. The Realme 15 series India launch may take place towards the end of July.
