An Oppo executive has confirmed that the Find N5 and OnePlus Open 2 will soon launch with major upgrade compared to past models. The pair will match industry leaders in this regard, which surpass well-known foldables such as the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6.

A new report has reiterated that the Galaxy Z Fold7 may lose a feature compared to Samsung's current Galaxy Z Fold6. Potentially, the Galaxy Z Fold7 may actually follow in the footsteps of the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition, which is still difficult to come by outside China and South Korea.

The era of the compact flagship smartphone has begun with the release of devices such as the Vivo X200 Pro Mini and Xiaomi 15.

Xiaomi is tipped to launch a second-generation clamshell-style foldable Android smartphone with potentially substantial upgrades such as the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite processor for top-end handsets.
