The OnePlus 15 is now a globally available phone, and we have the review<\/a> and a camera comparison versus the OnePlus 13. The new phone isn’t the outright winner in the comparison, though. Read our detailed article to get the full idea!<\/p>\n

The OnePlus 15 is on sale in most global markets. Compared to the OnePlus 13 launch prices, the US price is the same. In Europe, the 12\/256GB model is \u20ac50 cheaper, but the 16\/512GB variant is now \u20ac50 more. In India, both models are \u20b93,000 more.<\/p>\n

Although we cannot share any opinions or performance figures today, we can showcase the design, along with a few sample images taken with the camera.<\/p>\n

One step forward, two steps back.<\/p>\n

OnePlus started offering early-bird deals a couple of weeks ago, but that is now over – you can buy the phone right now.<\/p>\n

We tested the eSIM-only iPhone 17 Pro against the physical SIM one in our battery life test. Losing the SIM adds 254mAh to the phone’s battery, which translates to nearly an hour (49 minutes) of endurance. You get one hour of browsing more, 44 minutes of gaming more, and about the same video playback.<\/p>\n

The Galaxy S26 Ultra reportedly will have a bigger punch hole compared to the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The reason is a wider field of view of the camera – read you’ll get wider selfies.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how the extra 254mAh reflects in our Active Use Score.<\/p>\n

It’s not for the reason you may think.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\"Our<\/a><\/p>\n

The small 8.8″ tablet has a 7,500mAh battery and is powered by the Dimensity 9400+.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A new report suggests that Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series will launch in January and go on sale in February. That’s the usual timeframe and not the March timeline other sources have reported.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra is expected to arrive earlier than its usual February frame. According to Digital Chat Station, the phone is coming out in China in December.<\/p>\n

The Motorola Edge 70 Ultra ran Geekbench, giving us a glimpse of the unofficial Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 (read not Elite). The most interesting part is the CPU as this will be the first non-Elite chip to feature the in-house Oryon cores instead of relying on Arm\u2019s Cortex designs. Single-core performance was rated at around 2,600, multi-core at around 7,500.<\/p>\n

This tops the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (there was no 8 Gen 4), which scores 2,100-2,200 in single and 6,500-6,600 in multi-core tests. However, it is behind the Snapdragon 8 Elite, which does 3,000-3,100 in single and 8,700-9,800 in multi-core tests (we\u2019ve seen wildly different results from different phones). The latest Elite, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, does 3,500-3,600 in single and 10,000-11,000 in multi-core.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\"Xiaomi<\/a><\/p>\n

The Chinese launch may be significantly changed compared to previous years.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t
<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\"Galaxy<\/a><\/p>\n

The Galaxy S26 series was previously rumored to debut at a Galaxy Unpacked event on February 25 next year.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t
<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\"Motorola<\/a><\/p>\n

This is the non-Elite chip and the first of its kind to use the custom Oryon cores instead of Cortex cores.<\/p>\n
