Qualcomm is thought to unleash a whole new tier of Snapdragon 8-series processors for Android smartphones, starting in 2025. The silicon might power a whole new kind of flagship-grade handset with the power of the company's current leading SoC, with even bigger batteries to boot. Then again, the introduction of this new "8 Plus" class might make things more complicated for next-gen smartphone buyers.

While the OnePlus 15 will be faster than the OnePlus 13, it may carry a worse display that is said to be more in line with the OnePlus 13R. Of course, these are just rumors and the final product may change things up.

The Motorola Razr Ultra a.k.a. Razr 60 Ultra is now available to buy, but the free storage upgrade pre-order perk hasn't ended. Exclusive to Motorola's online store, the 1TB version is available to buy for the same price as the 512GB storage variant.

Huawei's alternative to iOS or Android has only been around for about four years, yet has now reportedly hit nine figures in terms of its device base. The number of smartphones and tablets sold with the software exceeded 100 million by the end of 2024 - and, considering it now has its own PCs, that number is set to keep growing in 2025.

The XRing O1 launched last month as Xiaomi's first in-house chipset since the Surge S1 in 2017. It performs excellently, too, with a series of hands-on benchmark tests confirming parity with flagship rivals like the Snapdragon 8 Elite and MediaTek Dimensity 9400.

Meizu is projected to challenge other mobile device companies by launching 2025 premium smartphones with top-end Snapdragon 8 Elite silicon soon. One of them might target the OnePlus 13s (or 13T) with a relatively small display despite its powerhouse specs. The 22 could lose out in one critical usability aspect, though.

Google tipped off fans that new Pixel products were on the horizon by scheduling an event for its Superfans.

Huawei has taken a risk in 2025 with the release of the Pura X, mainly as it has a new form-factor that might come to be known as the 'widescreen foldable smartphone'.
