Samsung has announced the launch of the Galaxy M55s 5G in India, with minor design changes over the Galaxy M55 5G while the specifications remain identical between the two. The new Galaxy M55s 5G has a 50MP OIS primary rear camera, a 120Hz sAMOLED display, and more.

Samsung Galaxy M55s 5G: Price, Availability

The Galaxy M55s 5G comes with a starting price of Rs 19,999 for the 8GB RAM and 128GB storage variant while the 8GB RAM with 256GB storage model is priced at Rs 22,999. The device will be available on Samsung’s own website, Amazon India and other retail stores in Coral Green and Thunder Black shades. There is a Rs 2,000 instant discount available on all leading banks’ Credit/Debit Cards EMI and full payment. The device will go on sale from September 26.

Samsung Galaxy M55s: Specifications

The Galaxy M55s 5G sports a 6.6-inch 120Hz Super AMOLED panel with a full-HD+ Resolution (1080 x 2400 pixels), dragontrail glass protection and 1000 nits peak brightness.

It is powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset, paired with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage which is expandable via a hybrid slot. The phone draws power from a 5,000mAh battery with 45W Fast charging support.

At the back, it gets a triple rear camera setup including a 50MP f/1.8 main sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide angle f/2.2 sensor along with a 2MP f/2.4 macro sensor. At the front, it gets a 50MP f/2.4 sensor for selfies and video calls.

Connectivity options on the handset includes Dual-SIM 5G, Bluetooth v5.2, NFC, GPS, Wi-Fi 6, and a USB-C port for charging. Then, the handset also has stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support. It runs on Android 14-based One UI 6.1 and gets an optical fingerprint sensor for biometrics. The device will receive 4 major Android OS updates and 5 years of security patches.

With this pricing, Samsung has managed to undercut both the Galaxy M55 5G and the F55 5G, which were launched earlier this year. Despite offering identical specifications across all three models, the latest release comes at a lower price point, making it a more cost-effective option compared to the M55 5G and the Galaxy F55 5G. As all three of them are essentially the same devices, the performance of the M55s 5G should match the other two in all aspects.

Infinix Zero Flip 5G has leaked a couple of times in the past but the ultimate leak with all the details, including its design and specifications has surfaced online. Furthermore, by the looks of it, we can say that it’s not entirely a new innovation from Infinix, but a rebranded device with slight changes. Here are all the details about the Infinix Zero Flip 5G India launch.

Infinix Zero Flip 5G: Leaked Design, Specs

As per the leak by tipster Paras Guglani on X, the Zero Flip will launch in two colour options called Rock Black and Blossom Glow. The spec sheet shared by Guglani claims that the Infinix Zero Flip will have a 6.9-inch full-HD+ (2640 x 1080 pixels) flexible LTPO AMOLED inner display that supports 120Hz refresh rate. The AMOLED cover display is 3.64-inches in size, with Always-on display functionality and a Resolution of 1056 x 1066 pixels.

The smartphone is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 8020 SoC paired 8GB of RAM and 512GB of inbuilt storage. The device supports virtual RAM also. It ships with Android 14-based XOS 14.5.

The device includes a dual rear camera setup, including a 50MP primary sensor with OIS, and a 50MP ultra-wide angle sensor. A dual-LED Flashlight unit accompanies it. The front camera is a 50MP sensor with Autofocus support. Connectivity options include 5G, Wi-Fi, NFC and Bluetooth. The phone packs a 4,720mAh battery with 70W wired Fast charging support.

If you closely look at the specs, you’d notice that the device shares its internals with the recently launched Tecno Phantom V Flip2 5G, except for the front camera and the storage, both of which are superior on the Infinix Zero Flip 5G.

The design of the handset shown in the materials shared by the tipster also resembles that of the Tecno’s latest foldable, but in different hues.

As per a previous report, the Infinix Zero Flip 5G could be priced between Rs 50,000 and Rs 55,000. This would make the Infinix Zero Flip 5G the cheapest foldable smartphone in the country.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will be launched next month, which means iQOO 13 launch timeline in China could be similar to its predecessor.

iQOO 13 Leaked Specs

At Rs 59,999, we feel the Galaxy S24 is a great purchase. The device was appreciated by us during its review earlier this year for how well the Exynos chip performed, the software stability and the extended software support for up to 7 years.

Apple doesn’t believe in revealing the exact battery capacity for devices; instead, it gives us the number of times the devices can last during video or audio playback. Thanks to various certification websites, we get exact, reliable information regarding the battery capacity of iPhones, and the same has happened with Apple’s latest iPhone 16 Series battery capacities.

According to new regulatory information from Brazilian agency Anatel (via Blog do iPhone), the following are the iPhone 16 series battery capabilities:

• iPhone 16‌ – 3,561 mAh
• ‌iPhone 16‌ Plus – 4,674 mAh
• iPhone 16 Pro – 3,582 mAh
• ‌iPhone 16 Pro‌ Max – 4,685 mAh

Compared to last year’s iPhones, the iPhone 16 has a 6.3% bigger battery than the iPhone 15, which had a 3349 mAh cell. The iPhone 16 Plus has a 6.6% bigger cell than the 15 Plus’ 4383 mAh battery, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max has a 4685 mAh cell that is up 6% from the 15 Pro Max’s 4441 mAh cell. The iPhone 16 Pro got the biggest upgrade, where the battery capacity went up by 9.4% from the iPhone 15 Pro’s 3274 mAh cell.

In addition, all the ‌iPhone 16‌ models support 25W MagSafe charging when paired with Apple’s new ‌MagSafe‌ chargers. Further, a recent certification from the China Quality Certification Centre, a regulatory body in China, confirmed that all iPhone 16 series devices support up to 45W fast wired charging. These models were tested charging at 5-15 volts and 3 amps, which converts to 45 watts.

The iPhone 15 models from last year maxed out at 27-29W, including the Pro versions, which means the charging speeds were considerably increased this year in the iPhone 16 series. On its website, Apple claims that the iPhone 16 series can fast charge up to 50% in about 30 minutes with a 20W Apple adapter or higher paired with a USB-C charging cable or a 30W Apple adapter or higher paired with a MagSafe Charger.

Honor 200 Lite 5G smartphone has been launched in India at a budget price point, competing with the likes of Realme Narzo 70 Turbo 5G, HMD Crest Max, and more. The launch comes after HTech debuted the Honor 200 5G series in India back in July this year.

Honor 200 Lite 5G: Price, Availability

Honor 200 Lite 5G: Specifications

Honor 200 Lite 5G sports a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a full-HD+ resolution (1080 x 2412 pixels), 90Hz refresh rate, 2000 nits peak brightness, 3240Hz PWM dimming, 10-bit colours, and has an in-display optical fingerprint scanner for biometrics. It is powered by an octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 6080 Chipset paired with 8GB of LPDDR4x RAM and 256GB of in-built storage.

For cameras, the Honor 200 Lite 5G gets a triple rear camera setup including a 108-megapixel f/1.75 primary sensor with OIS, a 5-megapixel f/2.2 ultra-wide angle sensor, and a 2-megapixel f/2.4 macro sensor. The front camera is equipped with an 50-megapixel f/2.1 sensor.

Honor 200 Lite 5G vs Realme Narzo 70 Turbo 5G

Compared to the Realme Narzo 70 Turbo 5G, which goes up till Rs 18,999 for the 12GB + 256GB model, the Honor 200 Lite lacks behind in a couple of areas. While both of them have a capable display, Realme Narzo 70 Turbo’s panel has a higher refresh rate that makes for a lot of difference in real world usage. In addition, Realme’s device offers a far better chipset that would result in better performance, be it in daily use or when gaming.

The Narzo 70 Turbo also packs a bigger battery with faster charging, has an IP rating, as well as equips stereo speakers, where on the other hand, the Honor device has neither the stereo speakers nor an IP rating. Furthermore, Realme’s handset also has more RAM and costs only Rs 1,000 more which is a premium we feel is worth paying for.

The Honor 200 Lite 5G has only one advantage over Realme’s device, and that includes its cameras, which at least on paper, are quite superior to the dual camera setup on the Narzo. If you can compromise on that part, we feel Realme Narzo 70 Turbo 5G is a much better pick over the Honor 200 Lite.
