Google is set to release four new models in its Pixel 11 lineup: the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold. Details regarding the release date and pricing for each model have not yet been disclosed.

According to Smartprix, OPPO is set to retire OnePlus' OxygenOS and Realme UI, transitioning to a unified ColorOS experience across its smartphone lineup. This marks the end of an era for the software that powered the 'Flagship Killer', as noted in their exclusive report.

Google has not included the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro in a significant Tensor kernel upgrade, which has raised concerns among users. This follows a trend where these devices were also excluded from several Android 17 Beta releases and certain Android 16 updates. Such omissions are typically not accidental, suggesting a potential end-of-life status for these models ahead of the expected October deadline.

Samsung's M16 LEAD OLED display technology could be adopted in the iQOO 16 smartphone and Apple's first foldable device, according to a report from Tech-ish.

The report frames the development as a sign of Samsung's continued role as a key display supplier, though specific launch dates, specifications, and pricing for the devices were not confirmed in the available information.
