Oppo is already rumored to be working on the Find N6, its next foldable smartphone and the successor to the Find N5, which was released in February. We've recently heard that it would actually be the first foldable to launch with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC at the helm, which means it's definitely coming very soon. Today a tipster over on X has revealed that Oppo is now testing the Find N6 in India. While a launch of the device in India hasn't been confirmed yet, testing phones in India almost always leads to them being released over there. So this is pretty good news - at least...

The iPhone Air is not selling particularly well and that may have discouraged at least three rival brands from attempting their own takes on the slim and light form factor. A new report from DigiTimes suggests that several Chinese brands, including Xiaomi, Oppo, and vivo have reportedly cancelled their plans to launch ultra slim phones meant to compete with the iPhone Air. According to the new report, Apple’s key suppliers, Foxconn, have reduced their iPhone production lines, and Luxshare has completely halted its iPhone production. We recently saw the Air's designer leave the...
OmniVision also has a new high-end 200MP camera sensor for upcoming camera flagships, to rival the freshly announced Sony LYTIA 901. According to a report in Korean media, the OmniVision OVB0D is a 200MP 1/1.1-inch imager, so slightly larger, than the 1/1.12-inch LYTIA 901. The sensor features a Bayer filter, but with a different dual on-chip re-mosaic structure to the LYTIA's more complex QQBC. Technically, and we're hypothesizing a bit, due to the lack of proper information, Sony's sensor could have a slight edge in detail, because of its more advanced Quad-Quad Bayer Coding...

We’ve already seen several teardowns for the iPhone Air as well as the iPhone 17 Pro, but we now have one for the vanilla iPhone 17 thanks to Zack from JerryRigEverything. The video also details all the official repair part prices for the iPhone 17, which Apple released.
