vivo X300 Ultra official, Xperia 1 VIII leaks, Week 14 in review | Infinium-tech

The next Sony Xperia 1 (number VIII) may finally bring a new design to the (slightly stagnant) series. The case renders from China show a new camera island design, which is a more traditional (rather Moto-like) square camera island.

Vivo X300 Ultra is official in China. It brings a larger 200MP main 35mm camera, a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC, a larger 6,600mAh battery, and a faster 144Hz display, among other improvements. The phone has gone on sale in China and is available in green, silver and black colors. A global unit is also expected.

We saw CAD-based renders of the Google Pixel 11 and 11 Pro. The biggest change appears to be the new camera visor, which now has a glass interior from edge to edge (no longer with a small color-matching piece of metal at one end).

Take these images with a few grains of salt.

It comes in a light fresh new green color and has two new teleconverters.

There are two main differences compared to the Pixel 10.

Yesterday it was vanilla Pixel 11, today it’s Pro.

A battery drain test pitted the Exynos 2600-based Galaxy S26 against the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. The Exynos Galaxy lasted 6 hours and 48 minutes, while the Snapdragon lasted 2 hours and 38 minutes.

We also saw a leaked iPhone 18 Pro screen protector, which hints at the rumored narrow dynamic island. Smaller is better.

Samsung’s in-house chip delivered significantly lower times than the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5-equipped Galaxy S26.

Changes are also expected on the iPhone 18 and iPhone Air 2.

It is set to be launched in India on April 7.

Oppo is expected to launch its flagship Find X9 Ultra in select global markets on April 21st! The Find X9 Ultra will go official in China first, alongside the Find X9s Pro, which is unlikely to follow the Ultra on the global stage.

Expect a 6.82-inch 144Hz AMOLED, a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC, a 7,050mAh battery, and two 200MP cameras!

In China, Oppo will also launch the Find X9s Pro alongside the Ultra.

But you can do this only once a year.
