The Vivo X200 series will soon welcome two more models: the Vivo X200S and Vivo X200 Ultra. Both are expected to debut together this year. Ahead of the timeline, a tipster on Weibo said that there will be two color options for both models. While the Vivo X200S will come in black and silver, the Ultra model will have black and red colors. 

The Vivo X200S is expected to be based on the vanilla X200 model. The Vivo X200 Ultra, on the other hand, will be the top variant in the lineup. It recently appeared on TENAA sporting the same huge circular camera island design on the back. The Vivo X200 Ultra will be priced differently from its siblings. According to a different leaker, unlike the other X200 devices, the X200 Ultra will have a price tag of around CN¥5,500. The phone is expected to get a Snapdragon 8 Elite, a 2K OLED, a 50MP main camera + 50MP ultrawide + 200MP periscope telephoto setup, a 6000mAh battery, 100W charging support, wireless charging, and up to 1TB storage.

The leak also shared a small detail about the successor of the X200 series. According to the account, the Vivo X300 series won’t offer the Pro Mini option. To recall, the brand introduced the said variant in the X200 lineup, but it remains limited to the Chinese market. 

The Redmi K80 series debuted last November, and we are now waiting for the arrival of its Ultra model. Tipster Smart Pikachu shared that the premium model will offer a metal frame, a glass body, and an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor. However, the account claimed that it still doesn’t have a periscope unit despite being at the top of the lineup. To recall, its Pro sibling in China has a rear camera setup made up of 50MP 1/ 1.55″ Light Fusion 800 + 32MP Samsung S5KKD1 ultrawide + 50MP Samsung S5KJN5 2.5x telephoto. 

On a positive note, the tipster said that the phone will offer the largest battery from Redmi. Earlier leaks noted that it would house a 6500mAh battery, but the standard model already has a 6550mAh rating. With this, there is a possibility that the phone could offer around 7000mAh capacity.

That is not impossible as more brands embrace the 7000mAh rating as the new standard in most modern models these days. Moreover, an earlier leak revealed that Xiaomi started exploring various battery and charging combinations for its smartphones. One included a huge 7500mAh battery with 100W charging support.

Buyers will now see all the Nokia-branded smartphones unavailable on HMD’s official website. This includes all the 16 smartphones and three tablets the company used to offer under the Nokia brand. The last Nokia smartphone model HMD offered was the Nokia XR21.

The move marks the company’s departure from using Nokia’s fame. To recall, the brand started introducing its own HMD-branded smartphones in the past months. This includes the HMD XR21, which was introduced in May last year and offers the same set of specifications as its Nokia counterpart, like a Snapdragon 695 chip, a 6.49″ FHD+ 120Hz IPS LCD, a 64MP main + 8MP ultrawide rear camera setup, a 16MP selfie camera, a 4800mAh battery, and 33W charging support.

It is important to note, however, that HMD Global continues to offer its Nokia feature phones on its website. Currently, over 30 Nokia feature phones are available on HMD’s website. It is unknown how long the company will offer them, but it could be until next year. To recall, earlier reports revealed that HMD’s Nokia brand licensing is set to end in March 2026.

The model debuted locally in November last year. It was originally presented in Black, Amber, and Starry Night colors, and a new color is joining the lineup.

Today, the brand announced the Nubia Z70 Ultra in New Year Edition. The phone still has the same general design concept as the other color variants, but its back boasts an orange color with a leather texture.

Pre-orders for the Nubia Z70 Ultra in New Year Edition are now available, and it will hit stores this Thursday. As expected, its specifications remain unchanged:

• Snapdragon 8 Elite
• 12GB/256GB, 16GB/512GB, 16GB/1TB, and 24GB/1TB configurations
• 6.85″ true full-screen 144Hz AMOLED with 2000nits peak brightness and 1216 x 2688px resolution, 1.25mm bezels, and optical under-display fingerprint scanner
• Selfie Camera: 16MP
• Rear Camera: 50MP main + 50MP ultrawide with AF + 64MP periscope with 2.7x optical zoom
• 6150mAh battery 
• 80W charging
• Android 15-based Nebula AIOS
• IP69 rating
• Black, Amber, Starry Night Blue, Orange New Year Edition colors

Several prominent smartphone brands are expected to update their book-style foldables this year. One includes Vivo, which offers the X Fold series. As per Digital Chat Station, the said series is one of the foldables that will receive its successor this year. However, the tipster claimed that the launch timeframe of the phone was moved to the third quarter of 2025.

The account made the same claim last November, suggesting that only the Vivo X Fold 4 was in development. Today, nonetheless, it is believed that the brand will also present the Pro variant this year.

According to earlier leaks, the Vivo X Fold 4 series could offer the following details:

• Snapdragon 8 Elite
• Circular and centered camera island
• 50MP main + 50MP ultrawide + 50MP 3X periscope telephoto with macro function 
• 6000mAh battery 
• Wireless charging support
• Dual ultrasonic fingerprint sensor system
• IPX8 rating
• A press-type three-stage button

The Xiaomi Mix Flip launched in China in July last year. According to Digital Chat Station, the phone’s successor will arrive this year, and it could debut earlier than expected. 

As per DCS in a recent post, the tipster claimed that Xiaomi will be addressing some of the current concerns involving the original Mix Flip model. To recall, the phone lacks an IPX8 rating, wireless charging support, and an ultrawide unit. According to the account, these features will be introduced this year to the Xiaomi Mix Flip 2. However, as per the account, the telephoto will be omitted this time.

Aside from those, the Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 is reportedly coming with the following details:

• Snapdragon 8 Elite
• 6.85″ ± 1.5K LTPO foldable internal display
• “Super-large” secondary display
• 50MP 1/1.5” main camera + 50MP 1/2.76″ ultrawide
• Wireless charging support
• IPX8 rating
• NFC support
• Side-mounted fingerprint scanner

The device’s WPC certification shows its XT2515 model number. The leak also confirms its 15W wireless charging support.

According to leaked renders of the phone, it will adopt almost the same rear camera design as most current Motorola models. This is different from the design of its predecessor, which only has two punch-holes for its cameras. Yet, it is important to note that the new model still seemingly has the same two camera units on its rear.

The renders show that the Motorola Moto G Power 2025 has a flat display with a centered punch-hole for the selfie camera. Overall, the phone implements a flat design to its side frames and back panel, but minimal curves are still present on the edges. The model reportedly measures 166.62 x 77.1 x 8.72mm.

Other details of the phone are not yet available, but the specifications of the current Moto G Power 2024 could give us a good idea of what it will offer soon. To recall, the Moto G Power 2024 debuted with a MediaTek Dimensity 7020 chip, a 5000mAh battery, 30W wired and 15W wireless charging, a 6.7″ FHD+ 120Hz LCD, a 50MP main camera, and a 16MP selfie camera.

Tipster Digital Chat Station shared the news in a recent post on Weibo. According to the tipster, the three major brands will upgrade the next generations of their current flip phone offerings. The account shared in an earlier post that one flip phone would be powered by the flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, claiming that it would debut earlier than its predecessor. As per speculations, it could be the Xiaomi Mix Flip 2.

In a separate post, DCS suggested that the Xiaomi MIX Flip 2 will support wireless charging, have an IPX8 protection rating, and have a thinner and more durable body.

The news coincides with the MIX Flip 2’s appearance on the EEC platform, where it was spotted with the 2505APX7BG model number. This clearly confirms that the handheld will be offered in the European market and possibly in other global markets.

Details about the other two flip phones from Huawei and Honor remain scarce, but they could adopt several specifications of their predecessors.
