Both smartphones are expected to arrive with an updated version of the processor powering the Oppo Find X8 series that launched last year.

The chipmaker is expected to launch the processor at its MediaTek Dimensity Developer Conference (MDDC) next month, and Oppo’s handsets could be one of the first to arrive with the chipset.

Earlier this month, the tipster claimed that the Oppo Find X8s will be a slim handset that is less than 8.15mm thick, and weighs under 187g. At the time, it was said that both the Find X8s and Find X8s+ would be equipped with a periscope telephoto camera.

Both the upcoming Oppo Find X8s and Find X8s+ models will be equipped with higher capacity batteries, according to the tipster, who previously claimed that the smaller handset would be equipped with a battery that has a capacity of more than 5,700mAh. The Find X8s and Find X8s+ will support 80W (wired) and 50W (wireless) charging.

The tipster also claims that the Oppo Find X8s and Find X8s+ will be equipped with an optical fingerprint scanner for biometric authentication, located under the display. It will also arrive with an IP69 rating for dust and water resistance.

We can expect more details about the Oppo Find X8s and Find X8s+ in the coming days, and the handsets are expected to launch alongside the Oppo Find X8 Mini and Find X8 Ultra in April. The company previously introduced the Oppo Find X8 series last year with a Dimensity 9400 SoC, up to 16GB of RAM, and up to 512GB of built-in storage.

Motorola Edge 60 Fusion is expected to launch soon in India. Although the company has yet to announce the launch date or confirm the moniker, official teasers about a new Edge handset have surfaced online. The new teasers suggest key design and display features of the upcoming smartphone. Design renders and colour options of the Edge 60 Fusion, as well as some expected specifications and price details have been leaked before. Notably, the preceding Motorola Edge 50 Fusion was introduced in the country in May 2024.

Motorola Edge 60 Fusion India Launch: All We Know

A live Flipkart microsite for the new Motorola Edge phone claims the handset will meet IP68 and IP69 dust and water resistance ratings. The former signifies underwater protection, while the latter implies the ability to withstand dust and high-pressure water jets.

An X post by the company teases that the handset, which is expected to be the Edge 60 Fusion, will sport a quad-curved display with “100 percent true colours.” The handset is teased to support AI-backed features as well. However, the exact supported AI tools have not yet been revealed.

As per recent leaks, the Motorola Edge 60 Fusion is expected to have a 6.7-inch quad-curved AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 SoC, and a 5,500mAh battery. For optics, the handset could have a 50-megapixel Sony LYT700 primary rear sensor, a 13-megapixel secondary sensor, and a 32-megapixel selfie shooter.

Alongside the IP68 and IP69 ratings, the Motorola Edge 60 Fusion may also offer a MIL-STD-810 military-grade durability certification. 

Recently, a rumour suggested that the Motorola Edge 60 Fusion will be available in light blue, salmon (light pink), and lavender (light purple) colour options. In select global markets, the smartphone is tipped to cost EUR 350 (roughly Rs. 33,100) for the 8GB + 256GB configuration. It is expected to launch in India on April 2, and the sale may begin on April 9. The phone will be available for purchase in the country via Flipkart.

Sony is developing a new, bigger camera sensor that may headline upcoming flagship smartphones, according to claims by a tipster. It is expected to compete against the Samsung ISOCELL HP9, which has been integrated into smartphones such as the Vivo X200 Pro and the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. The purported Sony camera sensor is tipped to function as a main camera sensor and could be used in flagship smartphones which launch later this year.

Sony’s Upcoming 200-Megapixel Camera Sensor

Tipster Digital Chat Station (translated from Chinese) shared details about the purported Sony camera sensor in a post on the Chinese social media platform Weibo. The Japanese conglomerate is said to have plans of introducing the new sensor with phones powered by upcoming flagship SoCs such as the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 and the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2. Additionally, it may also use it in one of its upcoming smartphones.

It is tipped to have a size bigger than 1/1.3-inch which suggests that it may capture more light than its potential competitor, the Samsung ISOCELL HP9. The latter follows a 1/1.4-inch optical format. At present, the Vivo X200 Pro uses the Samsung sensor as a telephoto lens while the company’s own flagship Galaxy S25 Ultra has it as the primary camera sensor.

With the development of this sensor, many original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) could finally provide an upgrade over the 50-megapixel sensor seen in several high-end smartphones recently.

However, the other details about the purported Sony sensor are yet to be revealed. Notably, the Samsung sensor promises in-sensor zoom up to 4x while maintaining the detail in photos. As per Samsung, it has end-to-end AI Remosaic which enables faster processing times, better details and colour reproduction, as well as quick shutter speed. The sensor gets hardware-independent Single Frame HDR to boost the overall HDR quality.

Honor 400 series, which is expected to launch in May, may include a Lite variant. While nothing is official, the Honor 400 Lite has surfaced online via an ecommerce website. The listing showcases the design and specifications of the handset. The phone has also previously appeared on certification sites. The Honor 400 series is expected to include a base variant, Honor 400 Pro, and an Ultra option.

Honor 400 Lite appears with a squarish rear camera module placed in the top left corner of the panel. Two camera sensors and an LED flash unit are housed within a triangular island inside the module. The display appears to be flat and has slim and uniform bezels as well as a centred, pill-shaped slot at the top for the front camera. The power button and volume rocker are seen on the right edge.

The listing further suggests that the Honor 400 Lite will likely come in an 8GB RAM and 256GB storage configuration. The handset may be priced at HUF 1,61,450 (roughly Rs. 38,100) or HUF 1,38,280 (roughly Rs. 32,600) with a discount, according to the listing.

The handset will likely be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7025 SoC paired with 8GB of RAM. It is expected to run on Android 15 out-of-the-box. The phone is said to have a display with a resolution of 1,080 x 2,412 pixels and a pixel density of 480dpi.
