Xiaomi has officially unveiled the Redmi Note 17 and Redmi Note 17 Pro in China with impressive battery specs. The Redmi Note 17 has a massive 8,000 mAh battery, while the Pro has a massive 9,000 mAh battery, which is one of the largest batteries we’ve seen in a smartphone. Both also get 120Hz OLED displays, IP69 dust and water resistance, Android 16 with HyperOS, and Qualcomm chipsets, plus the Pro features a 200 MP main camera and faster 67W charging. The Redmi Note 17 starts at CNY 1,199 ($167/€143), while the Note 17 Pro starts at CNY 1,599 ($223/€191). Both are already on sale in China, with global availability yet to be announced.
With Samsung’s next Galaxy Unpacked event just days away, leaks have spoiled all the surprises. A fresh batch of official-looking renders show off the entire lineup, including the Galaxy Z Fold8, Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Flip8, Galaxy Watch9, and Galaxy Watch Ultra2, showing off familiar designs along with some new color options. Samsung will make everything official at its July 22 event.
Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Fold8 and Fold8 Ultra have also been leaked in full, with the Ultra being the more premium of the two due to its larger display, 200MP main camera, up to 16GB of RAM, and larger battery. The standard Fold8 is rumored to adopt a wider cover screen for a more traditional smartphone experience, while both models are expected to run on Qualcomm’s latest flagship chipset.
Elsewhere, a new leak suggests that one of the biggest Galaxy S27 Ultra rumors has already died down. Reports claiming that Samsung would be ditching its signature individual camera rings in favor of a horizontal camera bar are now said to be false, with the company reportedly sticking to a design pretty close to the existing Galaxy S26 Ultra.

Google’s upcoming Pixel 11 series has once again been leaked, leaving very little information ahead of its expected unveiling on August 12. An apparent early retailer listing has revealed US pricing, suggesting the base Pixel 11 will start at $899 with 256GB of storage, along with details of the key specifications in the lineup. The standard model is expected to have a 6.3-inch OLED display, 12GB of RAM, and a battery of around 5,000 mAh, with the Pro model having a larger display, additional memory, and upgraded cameras. Fresh renders have also surfaced, showing the Pixel 11 in three colors while retaining Google’s now-familiar camera bar design.
Under the hood, the Pixel 11 family is expected to feature Google’s new 2nm Tensor G6 chipset along with a new MediaTek-developed modem, marking a major shift in the company’s hardware strategy. The move promises better efficiency, better AI performance, and better connectivity, making it one of the biggest generational upgrades to the Pixel line in recent years. Google is expected to officially announce the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold at its Made by Google event on August 12, where all the leaked details will finally be put to the test.
