Hey guys and happy new year – now, let’s get to it. Poco announced that its X7 series is coming on January 9 and later we found out that we are expecting the X7 and X7 Pro. Then Poco announced the price range – less than INR 30,000 ($350/€340) – chipset – Dimensity 8400-Ultra – and battery – 6,550mAh.
Redmi Turbo 4 Official with Dimensity 8400-Ultra, and 6,550mAh Battery – Sound familiar? These specs are similar to the upcoming Poco X7 Pro. Redmi Turbo 4 comes in black, white and navy blue colors. Pricing starts at CNY 1,999 ($273) for the 12/256GB trim.
The international Galaxy S25+ will likely use Snapdragon 8 Elite – the unit was spotted with the SoC running on Geekbench.
It is launching alongside the Poco X7 next week.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 series is rumored to go official later this month.
It is expected to launch globally as the Poco X7 Pro.
Galaxy A56 specs leaked – expect Exynos 1580 SoC, 120Hz AMOLED with FHD+ resolution, aluminum frame and glass back. Camera-wise, there is a 50MP main cam and a 12MP + 5MP combo – possibly ultrawide and macro. Another 12MP is for selfies. Expect 8GB or 12GB of RAM, 128/256GB of storage and a 5,000mAh battery. In the UK, the Galaxy A56 starts at £439 – the same price as its predecessor.
More of the same? A little design twist? S Pen – you bet!
No big surprises here – not good but not bad either.
It will be higher, but not by much.
