OnePlus 5T Price and Specs leak in Oppomart confirming 6-inch QHD+ 18:9 Infinity Display upgrade and the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 835. Initially I was against OP5T if it was just a screen upgrade, however, Oppomart leak an improved 20+16MP Dual Rear cameras with f/1.6 and 2.6 respectively. I fail to see how OnePlus will feature an OIS setup and will most likely continue to rely on EIS for video. No info on IP67/68 water-resistance or additional Audio Hardware. Do know that, Oppomart have been showing wrong specs in the past so, this is not confirmed yet, but pretty much sums up all the rumours flying around lately. All and all, this looks like another killer bargain for OnePlus fans and if the cameras are better, might be worth picking for OP5 owners. Most noteworthy those still rocking OP3 and 3T will finally have a real reason to upgrade their phones.

Pixel 11 Pro Colors Are Leaking Early

Leaks surrounding the Google Pixel 11 Pro suggest the phone could arrive with a new visual style called “Pixel Glow,” pointing toward brighter finishes and a more reflective design approach than previous Pixel generations. Early details indicate Google may be trying to make the lineup stand out more visually instead of sticking with the softer, muted colors the series is known for.

The report also mentions expected upgrades to the camera system and AI-focused software features, continuing Google’s usual strategy of pushing computational photography and on-device smart tools as major selling points. While the hardware details are still unofficial, the leaks fit with Google’s broader pattern of gradually refreshing the Pixel identity each year rather than doing complete redesigns.

As always with early smartphone leaks, some details could change before launch. Still, the Pixel line keeps attracting attention because Google tends to experiment more openly with software-driven features compared to a lot of other Android brands.

Comment: Google naming a finish “Pixel Glow” feels extremely on-brand somehow. Tech companies cannot resist giving slightly shiny glass panels names that sound like energy drinks or skincare products.

Samsung Might Rename the Fold Again

Samsung is reportedly considering a name change for the Galaxy Z Fold lineup, with discussion around branding a future model as the “Galaxy Wide Fold” instead of continuing with the current numbering system. The report suggests the company may want a clearer way to highlight larger-screen designs and distinguish upcoming foldables from earlier generations.

The possible rename comes as foldable phones keep shifting from experimental gadgets into a more competitive product category. Companies are now trying to separate devices not just by yearly upgrades, but by screen shape, thickness, and overall form factor. A name focused on the wider display could make Samsung’s larger foldables easier for casual buyers to identify.

Nothing has been officially confirmed yet, but the rumor has already sparked debate among fans who are used to Samsung’s long-running Fold and Flip branding. Some people see it as a practical marketing move, while others think the current naming system was already clear enough.

My Feedback: Tech companies really love renaming products the second normal people finally memorize the old names. Fold, Flip, Ultra, Edge, Wide — eventually these phone lineups start sounding like skateboard trick categories.

Android Wants To Be Everywhere Again

Google unveiled Android 17 with a big focus on making devices work together more seamlessly instead of acting like separate systems. The update is designed around cross-device computing, letting phones, tablets, laptops, TVs, cars, and wearables share tasks and apps more fluidly. The company says users will be able to move activities between devices with less setup and fewer interruptions.

A major part of the announcement centered on AI integration through Gemini. Android 17 is supposed to predict what users are doing across devices and help continue tasks automatically, whether that’s switching a video call from a phone to a TV or carrying over documents between devices without manual syncing. Google is also pushing developers to build apps that adapt dynamically across screen sizes and hardware types.

The update comes alongside broader changes to Android’s design language and ecosystem strategy. Google seems increasingly focused on making Android feel less like a phone operating system and more like a connected platform sitting underneath everything else the company sells.

Final Note: Tech companies spent years talking about “ecosystems” mostly as a marketing word, but now they’re all trying to make devices blur together into one continuous experience. Sometimes useful, sometimes slightly uncanny.

Gemini voices might be getting replaced

Google could be preparing to remove the current set of voice options in its Gemini assistant. Clues were found in a teardown of the Google app, where code strings refer to existing voices as “legacy” and indicate they’ll no longer be available.

Right now, Gemini lets users pick between different voices, but these findings suggest that choice may soon disappear in its current form. There’s no clear detail yet on what will replace them, only that the old options are on their way out.

Since this information comes from unreleased code, it’s not guaranteed to happen exactly as seen. Still, it lines up with Google’s ongoing changes to Gemini, and new voice options could show up soon, possibly at an upcoming announcement.

Thoughts: Feels like one of those quiet transitions where something familiar disappears and gets swapped for “something better” later—whether people actually like the new version is another question.
