The Google Pixel 10a, which will arrive early next year, will have identical core specs to the 9a – a 6.3-inch 120Hz AMOLED display, a 13MP selfie camera, and the same dual camera on the back. Next up is a 5,100mAh battery (same as 2025’s a series phone), same 23W charging, and possibly even the same Tensor G4 SoC.
Speaking of same, many rumors have painted a picture of a very same-same Galaxy S26 series. But one of the few upgrades will seemingly be the addition of MagSafe. Samsung will likely call it something different (like Pixel Snap for the Pixel 10 phones).
Don’t expect any major changes compared to the Pixel 9a.
The next generation is expected to have magnets built into the phones, but proper Qi support still requires magnetic cases.
Samsung’s cost-cutting measures may also lead to a delayed mass production for the S26 and S26+.
The Xiaomi 17 will launch in global markets in January, per rumors. Meanwhile, the vivo S50 and S50 Pro will launch in China as soon as next week. We know that the S50 will have a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC, and the Pro will have an 8 Gen 5.
Nothing launched a limited run of 1,000 Community Edition Phone (3a)’s. The hardware design is inspired by the aesthetics of the late 90s and early 2000s. The accessory is a box of dice featuring numbers rendered in Nothing’s Ndot 55 font. There’s a custom clock face with a design that “reduces visual clutter and guides the eye intuitively to the key components”, Nothing says. There’s also an exclusive wallpaper designed as “a visual bridge between the rear color and texture to the front interface”.
The phone was unveiled in China in September.
The vivo S50 Pro mini will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 SoC.
It’s a very limited run and you have limited time to grab one if you want to.
Multiple Redmi Note 15 devices were listed ahead of their potential global launch – the Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G, Note 15, and Note 15 Pro. The Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G starts from €289 and has a 6,500mAh battery, a 200MP camera, a 6.77-inch 120Hz OLED, and a Helio G200 chip with 8GB of RAM.
Redmi Note 15 will cost as little as €6.99 with a carrier plan in Germany. It has a 6.77-inch OLED, the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3, a 108MP camera, and a 5,520mAh battery. The Redmi Note 15 Pro is expected to retail for €399 without a contract. It packs a 6.83-inch OLED, a Dimensity 7400-Ultra, a 200MP camera, and a 6,580mAh battery.
Is the newer model actually better?
Eager buyers in Italy and Germany can already purchase the devices even though they have not been officially announced.
It’s closer than you think.
The Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57 are said to come with Android 16.
