Hey folks 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 we expect the X7 and X7 Pro. Then Poco announced the price range – less than INR 30,000 ($350/€340) – the chipset – Dimensity 8400-Ultra – and the battery – 6,550mAh.
The Redmi Turbo 4 is official with the Dimensity 8400-Ultra, and a 6,550mAh battery – sound familiar? These specs are similar to those of the upcoming Poco X7 Pro. The Redmi Turbo 4 comes in black, white, and sea blue colors. Pricing for the 12/256GB trim starts at CNY 1,999 ($273).
The international Galaxy S25+ will likely use a Snapdragon 8 Elite – the unit was spotted with the SoC running Geekbench.
It’s launching next week with the Poco X7.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 series is rumored to go official later this month.
It is expected to launch globally as the Poco X7 Pro.
The specs of the Galaxy A56 leaked – expect an Exynos 1580 SoC, a 120Hz AMOLED with an FHD+ resolution, an aluminum frame, and a glass back. Camera-wise, there’s a 50MP main cam and a 12MP + 5MP combo – possibly an 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 is said to start at £439 – the same price as its predecessor.
More of the same? A little design twist? S Pen – you bet!
No huge surprises here – no good ones but no bad ones either.
It will be higher, but not by a lot.
The device is expected to be rebranded as the Poco X7 Pro for markets outside of China.
