The OPPO Find X series is specialised for premium innovation and cutting-edge design, which represents OPPO’s flagship lineup, focusing on advanced technology, superior camera systems, and futuristic aesthetics. In this legacy, the OPPO Find X9 Pro was officially announced in China on October 16, 2025. Its global launch followed shortly thereafter on October 28, 2025, with availability extending to markets including Europe. Let’s take a look at the specifications, merits, demerits and pricing of the OPPO Find X9 Pro in Bangladesh. Key Features of OPPO Find X9 Pro . Design The Find X9 Pro presents a premium build and mature aesthetic. It maintains a slim profile (around 8.2 mm) while housing a hefty 7,500 mAh battery, which is impressive given the thickness. It comes with a glass front featuring Gorilla Glass Victus 2, a glass back and an aluminium frame. The materials appear high grade, sporting a solid feel in hand. It has IP68/IP69 grade dust and water resistance. The styling is understated rather than flashy. Its camera module is well integrated, the flat-edged display gives a contemporary look, and the finish options, like Silk White or Titanium Charcoal, cater to more refined tastes.  Read more: Top Flagship Smartphones Released in 2025 So Far On the flip side, some users might find the size (161.3 x 76.5 x 8.3 mm) and weight (224 grams) uncomfortable for one-hand use. For users accustomed to smaller phones, this will feel large.  The fingerprint sensor (under-display ultrasonic) and face unlock are both fast and reliable in tests. Display The Find X9 Pro sports a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED panel with a 1.5K resolution (1272 by 2772 pixels) and a 120 Hz refresh rate. The display hits up to 3,600 nits in local peak brightness tests, making it very usable outdoors in bright light. Moreover, HDR support (Dolby Vision, HDR10+) is included, which helps when watching high-quality video content.  The combination of smooth refresh rate, high brightness and strong resolution gives a satisfying viewing experience, whether browsing, gaming or consuming media.  Read more: Samsung Galaxy M17 5G Review: Mid-Range Power with Premium Touch Though X9 Pro ’s 1.5K (rather than full 2K) resolution might not matter to most, pixel purists may note that there are competitors offering full 2K displays. For instance, Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra (1440 by 3120 pixels) and OnePlus 13 (1440 by 3168 pixels) offer higher resolution at a similar price range. But in real-world use the sharpness is excellent. The use of flat edges and minimal bezels also helps the screen feel immersive. Memory The phone is available in configurations with 12 GB or 16 GB of RAM. Internal storage choices include 256 GB, 512 GB, and 1 TB (1024 GB). The storage combination includes 12/256GB, 12/512GB, 16/512GB, and 16/1TB. The OPPO Find X9 Pro is blessed with the UFS 4.1 data transfer mechanism.  However, memory is non-expandable. Processor & Performance Under the hood, the Find X9 Pro is equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset, built on a 3 nm process. Its CPU configuration is an octa-core layout consisting of one ultra-high-performance core at 4.21 GHz (C1-Ultra), three performance cores at 3.5 GHz (C1-Premium), and four efficiency cores at 2.7 GHz (C1-Pro).  The GPU is the Arm G1‑Ultra graphics engine, delivering strong graphics performance.  Read more: Top Flagship Smartphones Released in 2025 So Far In benchmark tests it shows strong numbers — for example, on Geekbench and other synthetic measures. The cooling and efficiency engineering appear solid: for example, OPPO’s vapour-chamber system is redesigned to dissipate heat more effectively. In daily use the phone feels smooth and snappy in opening apps, multitasking and even gaming/graphics-intensive workloads.  The UI (ColorOS 16 on Android 16) is polished and responsive, though some may feel it still has a bit of the typical manufacturer skin – meaning a few pre-installed apps and UI flair that may not be as clean as stock Android. But performance-wise there are very few compromises. If you demand high-end specs, the X9 Pro delivers. Software On the software front, ColorOS 16 on top of Android 16 adds useful productivity features like AI tools. The Find X9 Pro will get up to 5 major Android upgrades. X9 Pro supports Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.x, NFC, and strong 5G band support depending on the region. Read more: Best 10 Smartphones Releasing in Bangladesh in October 2025 Camera: Photo & Video The camera system is a headline feature of the Find X9 Pro. It includes a 50 MP main sensor (Sony LYT-828), a 50 MP ultra-wide, and a 200 MP periscope/telephoto lens (≈3× optical zoom) developed in partnership with Hasselblad.  The telephoto lens is particularly interesting because of its high resolution and zoom capability: the phone can achieve lossless zoom levels through the large sensor and cropping rather than relying purely on digital zoom.  Now, turning to the front side, the X9 Pro flaunts a 50 MP selfie sensor, which steps ahead of rivals like the OnePlus 13 (32 MP) and Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra (12 MP).  In real-world testing, reviewers praised the flexibility of the zoom and ultra-wide lenses, the colour tuning (thanks to Hasselblad) and solid low-light results. While the camera performance is extremely good, it may not quite reach the absolute “best in class” for image quality in every scenario (e.g., some extremely challenging low-light or extreme zoom conditions). Overall though, for users who are looking for high-end photography and zoom, the X9 Pro stands out.

Additionally, all main cameras (rear and front) support 4K HDR capture (e.g., 4K at 60 fps with Dolby Vision), and for pro users there is LOG video mode in 4K at 24/30/60/120 fps. However, the similarly priced rivals like the OnePlus 13 and Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra can capture 8K videos, which can be a dealbreaker for the X9 Pro. Battery & Charging Powered by a 7,500 mAh silicon-carbon (Si-C) battery, the OPPO Find X9 Pro outwins the rivals like the OnePlus 13 (6,000 mAh) and Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra (5,000 mAh). During testing, the X9 Pro showed excellent endurance in browsing, video playback, and gaming, with above-average runtime compared to many other flagships.  X9 Pro supports 80 W wired charging, 50 W wireless charging and 10 W reverse wireless charging. Though these charging options are standard, there are some competitors offering even higher charging wattages.  Overall, if your day-to-day usage involves travel, photography, gaming, etc., the X9 Pro’s strong battery package will handle it well.

Pros - Large 7,500 mAh silicon-carbon battery - MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset - Strong camera system, including a high-resolution telephoto lens and Hasselblad - Bright and large display with high refresh rate (120 Hz) - Premium build and strong durability credentials.

Therefore, the device is limited to the internal storage the user picks.

In Bangladesh the indicated price range starts from approximately BDT 94,259 to BDT 108,900.  Summary The OPPO Find X Series' latest innovation, the X9 Pro, is a very compelling flagship smartphone. It shines especially in battery endurance, zoom-capable camera system, and overall performance. Its design and display are class-leading. If you prioritise photography (especially zoom), long battery life, and a high-end experience, this phone is among the best.  Read more: Samsung Galaxy S25 FE Review: Perfect Balance of Power, Performance However, for those looking for higher resolution, a cleaner software experience, an expandable storage option, faster charging or a lighter phone, they may check out the alternatives. But the OPPO Find X9 Pro is clearly positioned at the top tier.

Samsung's Galaxy S series has been many people’s go-to recommendation for years, consistently delivering flagship smartphones that just work beautifully, featuring cutting-edge technology. In this legacy, the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE launched on September 4, 2025. Let's take a look at the key specifications, merits, demerits, and pricing of the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE in Bangladesh. Key Features of Samsung Galaxy S25 FE . Design and Build Quality The Galaxy S25 FE immediately feels like an upgrade the moment you hold it. At 190 grams, it is noticeably lighter than its predecessor while managing to fit in a larger battery, which is a rare engineering feat. The flat design (6.35 by 3.02 by 0.29 inches) paired with matte-finished sides and back glass gives the phone a polished, understated premium look. It is not screaming for attention, but it definitely turns heads in the right way. Durability is not compromised either. The enhanced aluminium armour frame feels sturdy, while Gorilla Glass Victus+ (Mohs level 5) and IP68 water and dust resistance mean you do not need to baby this phone. Even the colour choices, like Icy Blue, Jet Black, Navy, and White, are thoughtfully chosen to add character without looking too loud. Read more: Oppo A6 Max Review with Price in Bangladesh Display Quality Samsung’s display game has always been strong, and the 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel continues that streak. With a 1080 by 2340 resolution, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and a peak brightness of 1900 nits, this screen is a joy to use whether you are indoors or under direct sunlight. Streaming movies in HDR10+ looks fantastic, scrolling feels fluid, and gaming benefits from smooth responsiveness. The 89.2% screen-to-body ratio makes the viewing experience immersive, while the 385 ppi density ensures sharp visuals. Even though it is “just 1080 pixels”, in real-world use, you would struggle to notice any difference compared to higher-res displays. Camera Performance Many have been genuinely impressed with how this triple camera setup performs in real-world situations. That 50 MP main camera features an f/1.8 aperture, 24 mm width, 1/1.57-inch, and 1.0 µm lens with optical stabilisation. It consistently delivers sharp, well-balanced photos whether shooting in bright sunlight or dimmer conditions. What will really surprise you is the low-light performance. Photos bear way more detail than expected at this price point. The 8 MP telephoto offers an f/2.4 aperture, 75 mm, 1/4.4", and a 1.0 µm lens size. It comes with 3x zoom, which proves more useful than anticipated, perfect for getting closer without moving, though image quality is not quite as crisp as the main camera. The 12 MP ultrawide sensor sports an f/2.2 aperture, 13 mm width, and 123-degree field of view. It captures fantastic landscape shots and group photos but struggles in tricky lighting like most ultrawide cameras. Read more: 10 Best Smartphones Releasing in September 2025 The video recording capacity of the S25 FE shines with an utmost 8K capability, which sounds impressive, but the 4K footage with stabilisation is where it excels. You can walk around filming and get surprisingly smooth results. Whether you are posting to social media or creating content seriously, this camera delivers everything most people actually need.  The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE bears a 12 MP selfie shooter offering an f/2.2 aperture, 26 mm width, 1/3.2", and lens size of 1.12 µm. It can capture a maximum of 4K videos at 30/60 fps. Processor and Performance Powering the S25 FE is the Exynos 2400 chipset with the Xclipse 940 GPU. This is where Samsung really seems to have nailed it. Day-to-day tasks feel lightning fast, apps open instantly, and multitasking is handled with ease. Perhaps the biggest win is thermal management. Older Exynos chips had issues with overheating, but this phone stays cool under pressure. Even when pushing it with demanding apps or long sessions of browsing, performance does not throttle aggressively. Simply put, it feels smooth and reliable in daily use. Gaming Experience Gaming on this phone has been a pleasant surprise. Call of Duty Mobile and Genshin Impact run beautifully at high settings, with that 120 Hz display making everything feel incredibly responsive. Frame rates stay consistent even during intense sessions, and while the phone gets warm after extended play, it never becomes uncomfortably hot.  Read more: Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G Review: What’s New? The stereo speakers genuinely impressed me with their spatial audio – actually helpful for pinpointing enemies. Samsung's Game Booster keeps notifications away and optimises performance nicely. Sure, it will not beat flagship Snapdragon chips in benchmarks, but for actual gameplay, most people will not notice the difference.  Battery Life  The 4900 mAh battery is another highlight. It comfortably lasts a full day of heavy use—gaming, social media, streaming, and photography included. On lighter days, you can even push it into the next afternoon without charging. Charging is efficient too. The 45W wired charging gets you up to 65% in about half an hour, while 25W wireless charging is ideal for overnight use. There is also reverse wireless charging for accessories like earbuds or a friend’s phone in a pinch. Software and User Interface Running One UI 8 on Android 16, the S25 FE feels polished and mature. Samsung has trimmed unnecessary clutter while keeping genuinely useful features like Samsung DeX, Circle to Search, and enhanced privacy controls. Read more: Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Pro Plus Review: Robust processor with massive battery The biggest win is Samsung’s promise of seven years of major Android updates, meaning this phone will be supported until 2032. That kind of longevity is almost unheard of in the Android world and adds tremendous value. Storage Options You can choose between 128GB, 256GB, or 512GB of storage, all paired with 8GB RAM. There is no microSD slot this time, which may disappoint some, but the storage options are generous. For most users, the 256GB variant is the sweet spot. Thanks to fast UFS storage, apps load instantly and file transfers via USB 3.2 Type-C are quick and seamless.  Pros and Cons of Samsung Galaxy S25 FE . Pros  - Premium Armour Aluminium Frame with Gorilla Glass Victus+- 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X, 120 Hz refresh rate- Peak brightness of 1900 nits with HDR10+- Triple rear cameras: 50 MP main, 8 MP telephoto, 12 MP ultrawide- 8K video recording with good stabilization- Stereo speakers for clear, loud audio- NFC and fast under-display fingerprint scanner- Smooth Exynos 2400 performance with strong gaming capability- Long-term support with 7 years of Android updates Read more: realme P4 Pro Review: Mid-ranger gaming phone with huge battery and robust processor Cons  - No 3.5mm headphone jack - Lack of IP69 water and dust resistance - No FM radio support - No expandable storage (no microSD card slot) - Lack of 1 TB internal memory option - Telephoto and ultrawide cameras weaker in low light - 4900 mAh battery smaller than some rivals - 1080p resolution may not satisfy spec enthusiasts. Price of Samsung Galaxy S25 FE The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE price in Bangladesh starts from BDT 80,000. In a Nutshell The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE balances flagship features with accessible pricing beautifully. Standard performance, capable cameras, and seven-year updates make it perfect for mainstream users wanting a premium experience without flagship costs. However, you may look for alternatives if you need a bigger battery, powerful charging support, expansive display, absolute peak performance, a 1 TB memory option, or expandable storage.

Vivo has carved a name in the premium smartphone world with its innovative X series, known for flagship-grade cameras and sleek designs. The latest addition, the Vivo X200 FE, launched on 5 July 2025, continues this tradition with a powerful compact package built for performance lovers. Let's take a look at the main features, specifications, pros, cons and pricing of the Vivo X200 FE in Bangladesh. Key Features & Specs of vivo X200 FE . Design and Build Quality The Vivo X200 FE is a compact flagship that does not skimp on premium aesthetics or durability. With a sleek aluminium frame sandwiched between a glass front and back, it measures just 150.8 mm tall and weighs 186 g, perfect for one-handed use.  Its IP68/IP69 rating for dust and water resistance is a rare bonus at this size, even rivalling the rugged capabilities of Sharp Aquos R8s (which is MIL-STD-810G compliant) and exceeding the Motorola Razr 2025’s IP48 protection. While the Razr has a unique folding design and eco-leather finish, the X200 FE feels more solid and less gimmicky.  Compared to its bigger sibling, the Vivo X200, which is slightly larger and heavier (197–202 g), the X200 FE appeals to users seeking portability without compromising on materials. The colour options—Luxe Grey, Frost Blue, Amber Yellow, and Pink Vibe—add flair for those who care about visual appeal. Read more: Tecno Spark 40 Pro Review: Budget Brilliance or Just Another Buzz? Display Quality The Vivo X200 FE packs a stunning 6.31‑inch LTPO AMOLED display with 1B colours, a 120 Hz refresh rate, 2160 Hz PWM dimming, HDR10+ support, and an incredible peak brightness of 5,000 nits. The visuals are vibrant and sharp (at 1216×2640 resolution, ~461 ppi) and remain clear even under intense sunlight.  In comparison, the standard Vivo X200 features a slightly larger 6.67‑inch AMOLED display with a similar 2160 Hz PWM and HDR10+, but peaks at 4,500 nits. While both are excellent, the FE’s brightness makes it unbeatable outdoors. The Sharp Aquos R8s uses a PRO IGZO LTPO OLED panel with Dolby Vision support, but it peaks at just 1,300 nits, making it look dim beside the X200 FE in bright conditions. The Motorola Razr 2025’s foldable LTPO AMOLED screen is large (6.9″) and visually rich but peaks at 3,000 nits and feels more fragile due to the folding mechanism.  The X200 FE’s flat panel with Schott Xensation glass offers the best balance between performance, durability, and comfort for compact flagship seekers. Read more: Best Smartphones Releasing in July 2025 Camera Performance Vivo continues its imaging legacy with a powerful triple rear setup on the X200 FE: a 50 MP wide lens, a 50 MP periscope telephoto with 3x optical zoom, and an 8 MP ultrawide lens. Zeiss optics, laser autofocus, and Zeiss T* coating bring professional-level clarity and flare control. In daylight, shots are crisp, and the 50 MP selfie cam is a dream for content creators. Low-light performance is respectable, though the 8 MP ultrawide shows some soft edges and noise. Compared to the Vivo X200, which carries a superior 50 MP ultrawide camera with autofocus and a more advanced main sensor with OIS, the FE falls slightly short in diversity and sensor depth. However, the FE still outperforms competitors like the Motorola Razr 2025 and Sharp Aquos R8s. The Razr’s dual-camera setup lacks the FE’s periscope lens and struggles in low light, while the Sharp’s 13 MP ultrawide feels outdated and delivers middling detail. In video, the X200 FE records in 4K at 60 fps with HDR and gyro‑EIS, ensuring steady and vibrant footage—on par with most 2025 flagships. The Razr also shoots 4K, but the output lacks the vivid contrast and dynamic range Vivo's Zeiss partnership brings to the table. Processor Performance Under the hood, the Vivo X200 FE is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ (4 nm), built for flagship-level multitasking and speed. It boasts an octa-core CPU with a high-performance 3.4 GHz Cortex-X4 core and Immortalis-G720 MC12 GPU. While it is slightly less powerful on paper than the Vivo X200’s Dimensity 9400 (3 nm) and Immortalis-G925 GPU, the FE still performs fluidly across all tasks. Read more: vivo T4 Ultra Review: A Game-Changing Mid-range Flagship In daily usage, you will barely notice the difference unless benchmarking is your thing. Compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip in the Sharp Aquos R8s, the Dimensity 9300+ is more energy-efficient and slightly faster in AI and multitasking tasks. Meanwhile, the Motorola Razr 2025's Dimensity 7400X, paired with a Mali-G615 GPU, feels a step behind in both general responsiveness and heavy app loads. For users who prioritise consistent flagship-grade speed without thermal throttling, the X200 FE remains ahead of both competitors. Gaming Performance Gaming on the Vivo X200 FE is a smooth affair. The combination of a powerful GPU, 12–16 GB RAM, and a high-refresh-rate AMOLED screen ensures a top-tier experience in games like Genshin Impact, PUBG, or Call of Duty Mobile. Thermal performance is well-controlled, though there’s minor warmth after extended play or fast charging sessions. The Razr 2025, with its weaker GPU and foldable screen, is not built with hardcore gaming in mind. It struggles to maintain stable frame rates in graphically intensive titles. The Aquos R8s, though built on a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, does not have a gaming-optimised cooling system and tends to throttle over long periods.  Here, the X200 FE, despite lacking the ultra-performance edge of the X200’s Dimensity 9400, still delivers a far more reliable gaming experience than its similarly priced rivals. Read more: Infinix GT 30 Pro Review: Best Budget Gaming Phone with Flagship Features in 2025 Battery Life One of the standout features of the Vivo X200 FE is its massive 6,500 mAh battery (outside Austria and Hungary). It is rare to see this capacity in such a compact phone. In real-world use, this means 1.5 to 2 days of battery life for moderate users and a full day for power users with heavy media consumption. When you do run low, 90 W fast charging refills the phone to 100% in just under 60 minutes. By contrast, the Vivo X200 offers a smaller 5,800 mAh battery and similar 90 W charging speed—but drains quicker due to its larger display and more powerful processor. The Sharp Aquos R8s is limited by a 4,750 mAh battery and slow 15 W charging—totally outdated by 2025 standards.  The Motorola Razr 2025 also disappoints with a 4,500 mAh battery and 30 W charging (though it adds 15 W wireless support), but it cannot compete with the endurance the X200 FE delivers. Overall, the FE’s battery life is unmatched in this size class. Software and User Interface Running Android 15 with Funtouch OS 15, the Vivo X200 FE promises four major Android upgrades, keeping it future-proof until Android 19. Funtouch 15 is now lighter, more customisable, and smoother than previous versions, with fewer bloatware issues and cleaner UI animations. Features like RAM expansion, always-on display, and advanced camera controls are polished and useful. Read more: Basic to Flagship: Top 5 Official Smartphones Released in Bangladesh in 2025 Compared to OriginOS on Chinese models of the X200, Funtouch is more user-friendly globally. The Motorola Razr 2025 runs near-stock Android 15, which some may prefer for its simplicity, though it lacks the smart features and customisation Vivo offers. Sharp Aquos R8s still runs Android 13, and software updates remain a weak point for Sharp’s phones—putting it behind both Vivo and Motorola. Storage Options The X200 FE offers up to 512 GB storage with 12 or 16 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 3.1 speeds. While UFS 4.0 would have been preferable (as used in the X200 and Aquos R8s), real-world speed differences are minimal unless you are moving massive files frequently. There is no microSD support—same as its competitors—but the high base storage helps offset that. The Vivo X200 leads slightly with up to 1 TB storage and faster UFS 4.0, appealing to content hoarders and power users. Motorola Razr 2025, on the other hand, offers just 256 GB UFS 2.2—noticeably slower and more limiting. The Sharp Aquos R8s supports expandable storage via microSDXC, which is handy but can’t match the speed and integration of internal UFS storage.  Pros and Cons of vivo X200 FE Pros - Premium aluminum frame with IP68/IP69 rating- Compact 6.31-inch LTPO AMOLED display, 120 Hz refresh- Sharp and detailed triple rear camera with Zeiss optics- High-res 50 MP front selfie camera- Stereo speakers for rich audio- Infrared port and NFC included- Massive 6500 mAh battery with fast 90 W charging- Smooth performance with Dimensity 9300+ chipset- Bright 5000-nit screen, great for outdoor use- Up to 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. Read more: Xiaomi Redmi Turbo 4 Pro Review: Can It Survive the Competition? Cons - No FM radio feature- No 3.5mm headphone jack- USB-C is still version 2.0- The ultrawide camera is only 8 MP and lacks autofocus- No wireless charging support Price of vivo X200 FE The Vivo X200 FE is priced at approximately BDT 87,000 in Bangladesh. Verdict The Vivo X200 FE is perfect for users seeking a compact phone with flagship cameras, long battery life, and a stunning display. However, those needing wireless charging, a headphone jack, or a powerful ultrawide camera should consider alternatives. It is a premium pick for on-the-go power users and content creators.

With powerful chipsets, high-refresh displays, massive batteries, and advanced cameras, these 5 smartphones, ranging from entry-level to high-end, cater to the needs of users looking for phones under different price segments. However, these prices are subject to change.

The renowned Chinese smartphone company Tecno launched the second iteration of its Phantom Fold series, the Tecno Phantom V Fold 2, in Bangladesh on March 4, 2025. The phone is a stylistic and performative overhaul of its predecessor and a redefining addition to the luxury Fold market. Let’s find out the key specs, pros, cons, and pricing of the Tecno Phantom V Fold 2 in Bangladesh. Key Features of the Tecno Phantom V Fold 2 The Tecno Phantom V Fold 2 is Tecno's second attempt to claim a position in the premium Fold smartphone market, competing with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6, OnePlus Open, Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold, and Honor Magic V2.  Here is a comparative review to evaluate the Tecno Phantom V Fold 2’s worth as a contender. Aesthetics and Design The Tecno Phantom V Fold 2 unboxes a sausage-like design, much similar to Samsung’s Fold series. But this time, Tecno has replaced the mass-criticized design of the previous Phantom V Fold with an appreciable aesthetic. The phone comes in two colour choices: Karst Green and Rippling Blue, each with distinct sensory details. The Rippling Blue option has a soft vegan leather finish on the rear, whereas the Karst Green gives a solid rigid touch all around. When folded, the Phantom Fold 2 measures 159 by 72.2 by 11.8-12 mm, which makes it the tallest foldable smartphone to date, followed by Honor’s 156.7 mm Magic V2. It unfolds into a full-fledged tablet that measures 159 by 140.4 by 6.1 mm. In terms of width, the phone sits among the backbenchers, only topping the 132.6 mm wide Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6.  Read more: Which phones are getting One UI 7 first and when Ergonomically, the Phantom V Fold 2 allows a comfortable grip and manoeuvre. The rounded corners of the mainframe and bevels around the camera panel are a bit edgy but synchronous with the phone's rectangular thematic approach. The aluminium mainframe has protective glass and is certified IP54 for dust and water splash resistance. Users will find the fingerprint-sensing power button on the right side, at the thumb reach from a usual hand grip. The weight distribution feels balanced; however, the phone is heavier at 249 g than most competitors, only outweighed by the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold’s 257 g. Display The Tecno Phantom V Fold 2 uses LTPO AMOLED panels for its 7.85-inch foldable and 6.42-inch cover displays. These panels are justifiable at Fold2’s price, but they are less performative than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6’s AMOLED 2X and the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold’s LTPO OLED panels.  The Fold 2's foldable screen is a 2000 by 2296 pixels panel capable of rendering acceptable visuals compared to the Samsung Fold 6’s 1856 by 2160 pixels panel while keeping an 88.2% screen-to-body ratio.

Camera The Tecno Phone Fold 2's rear camera panel houses a 50MP (f/1.9) wide, a 50MP (f/2.0) ultrawide, and a 50MP (f/2.2) telephoto lens with 2x zoomability. While the Fold 2 may not offer 5x zoom like the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold or a 64MP telephoto lens like the OnePlus Open, it still captures decent-quality images for a Fold phone. The Fold 2 presents two 32MP (f/2.5) lenses as the selfie and cover camera. Both lenses struggle to capture details from the source and modify the images with an AI selfie enhancer. The AI modifier does a poor job at it and whitens images only to make them pale without adding complementary liveliness. However, the front cameras distinctively outperform the 4MP selfie and 10 MP cover camera offered by the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 and the 10MP selfie and cover lenses of the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold. The primary cameras can record videos at 4K resolution and 30 fps frame rate. Most Fold smartphones offer the same videography, except the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6, standing alone with its 8K recorders. Read more: Samsung Galaxy M16 5G: Elevating the budget-friendly experience Hardware and Performance The Tecno Phantom V Fold 2’s SoC comprises a 4 nm MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ chipset, a Mali-G710 MC10 graphical processing unit, and an AI Engine. The processor is powered by a 3.20 GHz Cortex-X2, three 2.85 GHz Cortex-A710, and four 1.80 GHz Cortex-A510 cores. Though Dimensity 9000+ is a two-year-old chipset, its 4nm architecture is still relevant because chipsets of all the top-of-the-line Folds share the same 4nm architectural build. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6, the OnePlus Open, and the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold integrate state-of-the-art Snapdragon and Tensor CPUs—all are of 4nm type, but with upgraded Cortex cores like Cortex-X4 and X3. Unlike other Folds, which have a dynamic range of memory options, the Tecno Fold 2 offers a single variant with 512GB internal storage and 12GB RAM. The fusion of vast memory and agile central and graphical processing units allows for a high-end gaming experience. It has an overall AnTuTu benchmark score of 11,58,040 and a GeekBench score of 4,327, which is more than enough for versatile gaming without generating considerable heat. Read more: Top Smartphones Launching in March 2025: Flagship & Budget Models to Watch Software The Tecno Phantom V Fold 2 uses the HiOS 14 Fold built on top of Android 14. It features several unique features, such as dynamic always-on-display widgets, clean and pristine folder and app management, anti-theft functionalities, and smooth navigation. The phone offers 2 years of software updates. A 3-year update would be more contending, especially when the Samsung Fold offers updates for a 7-year duration. Battery and Charger The Tecno Fold 2 stands apart by providing an enduring 5,750 mAh battery, complemented by a breakneck 70W wired charger that refills 50% of a depleted battery within 20 minutes and 100% within 49 minutes. It far exceeds the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6’s 4,400 mAh and the Pixel Fold 9 Pro’s 4,600 mAh battery capacity. The phone also offers a 15W wireless charging facility but lacks reverse charging. Pros and Cons of the Tecno Phantom V Fold 2 . Pros - Large 7.85-inch LTPO AMOLED foldable display- High 5,750 mAh battery capacity- 70W fast charging- 512GB storage + 12GB RAM- Balanced weight distribution- Decent rear camera setup- AI Engine + Dimensity 9000+ chipset- IP54-certified dust and splash resistance.

Cons - Older Dimensity 9000+ chipset- Lacks a periscope telephoto lens (only 2x zoom)- Selfie cameras struggle with details- Limited to 2 years of software updates- No reverse wireless charging- Heavy at 249g- Only one storage variant Price of the Tecno Phantom V Fold 2 The Tecno Phantom V Fold 2’s 12/512GB variant is available at BDT 139,999. However, the price is subject to change. Conclusion The Tecno Phantom V Fold 2 has created a buzz, offering the functionalities of a premium Fold smartphone. With a sturdy body build, sleek and unique design, a vigorous 4nm Dimensity processor, a peak 5,750 mAh battery, super fast charging, 50MP triple camera setup at the lowest market price, the phone is any smartphone lover’s sweet dream.  Read more: itel S25 Ultra Review: Budget-Friendly Phone with AMOLED Display, Reliable Battery, and More

Beyond an overhaul over its predecessor in key areas like design and performance, the phone is a leap forward in its lineup. As the first of the series, it integrates several AI functionalities in an attempt to dwindle competition and empower loyal consumers. The phone comes with a 4nm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset 4nm and a 1 GHz Adreno 750 GPU that ensures streamlined operations and maneuvers. For cameras, Samsung keeps the prior version’s 200MP wide, 12MP ultrawide, and 10MP telephoto and adds a 50MP extra-zoom telephoto lens, making a quad camera system. The battery, S Pen Stylus, and major functionalities remain almost the same as in the previous version.

With a dimensional measurement of 6.35 by 2.96 by 0.36 inches, the phone bolsters the essence of a true flagship.  Drawing performative alignment to that essence, the phone uses a 4nm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 4nm chipset, and a combined version of Android 14 OS and Hyper OS. However, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra distinguishes itself in the market with its exclusive vegan-leathered back panel and a powerful lens squad. A massive, circular quad camera module on the back engraves four 50MP lenses, featured by the German brand Leica. Installing a battery beyond the provided 5000mAh and a front camera beyond 32MP would give the phone a better competitive edge. The unofficial version of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra’s 16/512GB is available in Bangladesh at a price of BDT 1,35,000.

Confined to a 6.34 by 2.85 by 0.34-inch dimension, the mainframe is a sandblasted aluminum panel with glass on the front. Components like a P-OLED display, an 8s gen 3 Qualcomm 4nm chipset, an Adreno 735 GPU, and a 4500mAh battery attest to Motorola’s effort to manage the best within budget.  However, the phone hasn’t misered away from employing powerful lenses. The main camera module houses a 50MP wide, 64MP periscope, and 50MP ultrawide lens trio, while the front engraves a whooping 50MP wide selfie shooter.  Motorola Edge 50 Ultra’s 12/512 variant is unofficially available at 74000 TK in Bangladesh. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 Samsung marches forward with its foldable multipane smartphone series, dropping its 6th iteration on  July, 2024.

Google Pixel 9 Series Launched in August 22, 2024, the Google’s Pixel 9 Pro XL conciliates users with a knack for a big screen that Google’s usual iterations lack.

The phone bestows users with a distinctive design perfectly aligned with the original thematic expression of Pixel phones.

A 5060mAh battery backup runs long and allows for multiple wired and wireless charging access.  Users can buy the unofficial version of the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL’s 16/256 GB variant at BDT 1,15,000. Much smaller than the Pixel Pro XL, measuring only 6.02 by 2.83 by 0.33 inches, the Google Pixel 9 Pro is a noteworthy Flagship contender manifested by its high-end hardware. Size apart, the phone embodies all the components featured in the Pro XL, including a 4nm Google Tensor G4 chipset, Android 14, an LTPO OLED display, and the same lens range. The Google Pixel 9 only comes short in its scale and battery capacity. However, the 4700mAh battery offers all the changing options as well.  The unofficial version of the phone (12/256 GB) is available at BDT 1,20,000.

ROG Phone 9 Pro Since the ROG Phone 8 series, Asus has shifted towards becoming an all-rounder leaving its niche-focused design. The ROG Phone 9 Pro, launched on November, 2024, further emphasizes that shift offering more to general users at the expense of some gaming features. It strips off bezels around the display and removes the front speakers used in the previous models. However, the 6.45 by 3.02 by 0.35-inch aluminum frame sandwiched by Gorilla glasses doesn’t fall far from the original theme.  Read more: Smartphones Launching in February 2025: Top Flagship and Mid-Range Releases The 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED screen now spreads throughout the frame in landscape view, housing the 32MP front lens in a dark punch spot.

The Samsung Galaxy S series has long been synonymous with cutting-edge technology and premium design, setting benchmarks in the smartphone industry. Continuing this legacy, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is officially releasing this month. Let’s go over the specs, standout features, limitations, and pricing of the S25 Ultra in Bangladesh. Key Features of Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra  . Design and Build Quality The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra retains the premium build quality that the Ultra series is known for, featuring Corning Gorilla Armor 2 on both the front and back, along with a grade 5 titanium frame. This makes it more durable than the S24 Ultra, which uses grade 2 titanium. Additionally, weighing 218g, the S25 Ultra appears a bit lighter (232g) than its predecessor S24 Ultra, improving comfort for long-term use. Compared to its competitors, the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold and Huawei Mate X6 feature foldable designs, which make them bulkier but offer a different experience for users who prefer a larger, expandable display. The Huawei Mate X6, for instance, has an aerospace-grade aluminum frame and is IPX8 water-resistant, making it more resistant to water damage than the S25 Ultra's standard IP68 rating. Read more: Smartphones Launching in February 2025: Top Flagship and Mid-Range Releases Display Quality The S25 Ultra comes with a 6.9-inch Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a standard 2600 nits peak brightness.  However, it is quite disappointing that in the market a bunch of mid-range smartphones are offering higher refresh rates and peak brightness levels. For instance, the realme Neo7 offers 6000 nits peak brightness and iQOO Neo10 boasts a 144Hz refresh rate for much lower price tags. It can be a deal breaker for flagships like the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. S25 Ultra features a resolution of 1440 by 3120 pixels. Compared to the S24 Ultra, the screen-to-body ratio has increased from 88.5% to 92.5%, offering a more immersive experience. Read more: Xiaomi 15 Review: Specs, Features, and Price in Bangladesh When compared to competitors, the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold offers an 8-inch foldable OLED display, making it great for multitasking but with a lower peak brightness of 2700 nits. Meanwhile, the Huawei Mate X6 has a 7.93-inch foldable LTPO OLED display with Kunlun Glass 2 protection, which is a great alternative for those who prefer foldable devices. Camera Performance Samsung has made notable improvements to the S25 Ultra's camera system. It retains the 200MP (f/1.7) primary sensor, but the ultrawide camera has been upgraded to 50MP (f/1.9) from 12MP in the S24 Ultra. Its quadruple rear camera setting also boasts a 10MP (f/2.4) telephoto lens and a 50MP (f/3.4) periscope telephone lens. Additionally, Samsung has optimized AI-powered enhancements such as Best Face, which helps improve group photos. Against competitors, the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold only has a 48MP primary camera, but it leverages Google’s AI algorithms to produce outstanding images. On the other hand, the Huawei Mate X6 boasts a 50MP primary camera with a variable aperture (f/1.4-f/4.0), allowing for better control over depth of field and low-light photography. Read more: realme Neo7 Review: Is This Mid-Range Gaming Powerhouse Worth Buying? What’s more, the S25 Ultra outshines both in video recording, offering 8K at 30 fps. However, the S25 Ultra bears a 12MP (f/2.2) front sensor that maxes out at 4K like the S24 Ultra. Processor Performance The S25 Ultra features Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite (3 nm chipset), which offers a 37% faster CPU and 30% improved GPU performance compared to the S24 Ultra’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. With an octa-core configuration, including two high-performance 4.47GHz cores, this processor makes the S25 Ultra one of the most powerful smartphones available. The Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold comes with the Google Tensor G4 chipset, which is designed for AI-based computing but is not as powerful as Qualcomm’s flagship chip. Similarly, the Huawei Mate X6 runs on Kirin 9020, which performs well in general tasks but falls short in gaming and high-intensity applications compared to the S25 Ultra. Read more: Honor Magic7 Pro Review: A Flagship Killer or Just Another Premium Phone? Gaming Performance The S25 Ultra has significantly improved gaming performance due to the Adreno 830 GPU and real-time ray tracing support, making it ideal for high-end mobile gaming. The Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset also enhances power efficiency, allowing longer gaming sessions without excessive heating. In comparison, the S24 Ultra, while still excellent for gaming, lacks the same level of GPU optimization and AI-driven gaming features. The Pixel 9 Pro Fold and Huawei Mate X6 are less gaming-focused, as they are optimized for multitasking and productivity rather than high-performance gaming. Battery Life Like the ancestor S24 Ultra, the latest S25 Ultra comes with a 5000mAh battery. However, the new 3nm chipset in the S25 Ultra allows for better power efficiency. Samsung claims that the S25 Ultra lasts up to 10% longer than its predecessor on a single charge. Read more: Honor X5b Plus Review: Powerful Contender in the Budget-friendly Segment While charging speeds remain unchanged at 45W wired, the wireless charging speed has increased from 15W to 25W (Qi2). In contrast, the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold has a smaller 4650mAh battery with 21W wired charging, making it less efficient than the S25 Ultra. However, the Huawei Mate X6 surpasses them all with a 5200mAh battery and 66W wired charging, which offers the fastest charging speeds. Nevertheless, the mid-ranger realme Neo7 wins the race against these flagships with a 7000 mAh battery. Software and User Interface The S25 Ultra launches with Android 15 and One UI 7, offering seven major Android upgrades, ensuring longevity. Samsung’s One UI 7 is known for its user-friendly design, customization options, and seamless integration with Samsung’s ecosystem. Read more: OnePlus Pad 2 Review: Is It Worth Buying? In comparison, the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold also offers seven years of updates, but its stock Android experience lacks Samsung’s custom features like DeX mode. The Huawei Mate X6, running HarmonyOS 4.3/EMUI 15, does not have access to Google Play Services, which may be a dealbreaker for some users. Storage Options The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra offers multiple storage configurations, including 256GB with 12GB RAM, 512GB with 12GB RAM, 1TB with 12GB RAM, and a high-end 1TB with 16GB RAM variant. This marks an improvement over its predecessor, the S24 Ultra, which lacked a 16GB RAM option. It sports UFS 4.0 data transfer technology. When compared to its competitors, the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold maxes out at 512GB with 16GB RAM, while the Huawei Mate X6 provides storage options up to 1TB with 16GB RAM, putting it on par with the S25 Ultra in terms of capacity.

The Price of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra The Galaxy S25 Ultra will be available at multiple prices for different configurations. The price of the 12/256GB variant is about BDT 224,999. However, the price is subject to change. Final Words The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is perfect for power users, photographers, and gamers who want a premium display, top-tier performance, and advanced cameras. However, those needing a microSD slot, 3.5mm jack, FM radio, brighter display, higher refresh rate, or Satellite SOS may look into the other options.  On the whole, if you seek robust RAM, a versatile camera line-up, cutting-edge features, and long-term software support, this flagship is a great choice.  Read more: Xiaomi Redmi Turbo 4 Review: Is It a Value-for-money Midranger?

For a long time, Honor has been a sub-brand of Huawei and has released budget-friendly to mid-range Smartphones. But since its split from the parent company, Honor started to explore the premium segment. In this wave, the company launched the Honor Magic5 Ultimate on 6th March 2023 in Mainland China. Does the Magic5 Ultimate offer something more than the competitor flagship smartphones?  Let’s take a look at the design elements, features, and price of Magic5 Ultimate.  Key Specifications of Honor Magic5 Ultimate   Design and Build Quality  The eco-leather textured back instantly gives Magic5 Ultimate a premium look and hand feel. The complete bezel-less design with sloping edges will need some getting used to. Moving beyond, the camera house has been vertically flushed down to create a tapering design on the back. Honor is calling it the “Eye of Muse” design which frankly puts the device in its own class.  Read More: Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G Review: Pushing the Limits of Innovation The camera housing itself isn’t a traditional round or rectangular one. Honor calls it their “Octagonal Porthole” design. These subtle yet substantiative changes make it the literal ultimate android in terms of design.  The device is sandwiched by an aluminum frame with a glass front. The port and buttons are the same as the Magic4 Ultimate. What’s good is that the device is rated at IP68 with 30 minutes of protection under 1.5 meters of water.  Its dimensions are 162.9mm by 76.7mm by 8.8 mm. Weighing about 217g the device appears lighter than the ancestor Magic4 Ultimate (242g). Being a flagship, users won't be getting any card slot or headphone jack.  Read More: Apple iPhone 15 Pro: Leaks, Rumors, Everything We Know So Far Display  The experiments of Honor don’t just stop at the design. Magic5 Ultimate sports a 6.81-inch display featuring 1312P by 2848P resolution, 460 ppi, and 19.5:9 ratios.  Moving to the actual performance of the display, Honor has done an excellent job. The LTPO OLED panel has 1B color support, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and HDR10+ support. The usual antics with good color calibration make it an excellent panel to use.  But the most striking excellence is seen outdoors. The 1800 nits HBM performs insanely well even under direct sunlight. Like its name, it almost feels like magic how legible it is under direct natural lights.  Read More: Vivo V27e Review: Worth its price tag? The device is practically bezel-less with curved edges. So even though the device might seem narrower, the display itself tapers much to the side.  Camera  The camera section of the Magic5 Ultimate has also gone through some significant changes. The module is now down to a triple camera sensor compared to the quad on the Magic4 Ultimate. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing.  This year all three sensors are 50 MP with a wide-angle main shooter, a periscope, and an ultrawide. Honor has enhanced the sensors to the latest Sony iterations making them more capable compared to their predecessors. There is also an additional TOF 3D sensor for depth mapping.  Read More: April 2023 New Release: Top 8 Upcoming Smartphones in Bangladesh Moving onto the performance of the sensors, users will be surprised to know that Magic5 Ultimate currently holds the number 1 position in the DXOMark camera ranking. In the test, the camera consistently produced natural shots which is probably its biggest feature. 

First introduced in 2010 with the release of the Samsung Galaxy S, the “S” series has since become one of the most popular and recognizable smartphone lines in the world. With each new release, Samsung has consistently improved and refined the Galaxy S, incorporating cutting-edge technology and features that have helped to define the modern smartphone landscape. The Galaxy S series is known for its high-quality displays, powerful cameras, and sleek, premium design. Over the years, Samsung has expanded the Galaxy S series to include a range of models at different price points, making it accessible to a wide range of consumers. On February 17, Samsung launched a new line of phone S23 Ultra under the Galaxy S series. This 2023 edition of the S23 Ultra offers a second-generation Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 processor, as well as an S-Pen.  Key Features of Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra  Despite its similar design to the previous model, Samsung has made some notable improvements to the Galaxy S23 Ultra, according to the South Korean electronics manufacturer. Let’s see what changes they have made. Design At first glance, you'll immediately see that the Galaxy S23 Ultra has bigger cameras than the Galaxy S22 Ultra. Its 6.8-inch display boasts a less pronounced curve than its predecessor, resulting in a flatter surface area that is more comfortable to use with an S Pen.

This new technology will provide superior defense against scratches and falls. The new Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is available in four distinct colors: Phantom Black, Green, Cream, and Lavender. Samsung's Galaxy S23 Ultra is an eco-friendly device with components crafted from recycled materials. For example, the S Pen inner cover and bottom speaker module are made from discarded fishing nets, the side key and volume key are from recycled water barrels, and the SIM tray is from recycled aluminum. The Galaxy S23 Ultra retains a SIM card slot, unlike the iPhone 14 Pro Max, which resides on the underside of the device. It has a nearly identical form factor to the S22 Ultra, measuring 6.4 x 3.07 x 0.35 inches, but is slightly heavier at 8.25 ounces, compared to 8.08 ounces for its predecessor.

Its 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED screen offers a resolution of 1440 x 3088 pixels along with a peak brightness of 1,750 nits. Additionally, users can enjoy the same 120Hz refresh rate, with the capability to reduce it to 1Hz. The Galaxy S23 Ultra's screen offers an impressive 112% of DCI-P3 color gamut in Natural mode, making it a much more vibrant option than the iPhone 14 Pro Max's 83%. It also features Vision Booster, a nifty tool that allows users to adjust the display's color and contrast to suit their environment. For added comfort, the phone includes an eye comfort feature. Cameras The phone features four back cameras, as well as a high-resolution 12-megapixel front-facing camera located at the top of the display.  Read More: Top 10 Smartwatches Released in 2022 and 2023 So Far The Ultra series from Samsung has always been renowned for its cameras, and its advanced multi-sensor setup has attracted millions of customers worldwide. The S23 Ultra features a 12MP ultrawide and dual 3x and 10x 10MP telephoto sensors on the back, but it's the primary camera that sets it apart - it has a record-breaking 200MP resolution, the highest ever on a Samsung phone.

Apple introduced significant improvements with the iPhone 14 Pro, and the iPhone 15 Pro is expected to continue the trend in 2023. There are also reports regarding an iPhone 15 Ultra, which some believe will continue the heritage of the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Let’s find out the latest leaks and rumors about the iPhone 15 Pro. Leaks and Rumors about the Upgrading Features of iPhone 15 Pro Design Nonetheless, the design might be significantly altered. Mark Gurman of Bloomberg notes in one of his pieces that Apple tends to redesign the iPhone around every three years. The current flat-edged design dates back to the iPhone 12, which is three generations older than the forthcoming iPhone 15. This implies that 2023 might have a new appearance. Apple may revert to rounded sides with the iPhone 15 Pro, which is more ergonomic given the weight of recent iPhones. This may also result in a smaller appearance for the iPhone 15 Pro. In addition, the iPhone's chassis may be composed of titanium, a long-rumored feature.

The reports have yet to specify how, but it seems from newly released images that it will be thicker and bigger than before. The display may have a tiny tilt to accommodate the new design. Hence, it may be difficult to add aftermarket screen covers. According to a new report from Ming-Chi Kuo, "two high-end iPhone 15s" would be equipped with solid-state buttons. The replacement of mechanical buttons with those that use haptic feedback might result in a phone that is more resistant to water and debris and has a longer lifespan. Refer to the iPhone 7's home button, which became entirely haptic, as an example.

This may encourage additional developers to create applications that adapt to the morphing camera cutout/display functionality, hence expanding its potential. There are no indications that Apple may alter the screen size of the iPhone 15 Pro. The 6.1-inch form factor has endured the test of time and is favored by many (including several Tom's Guide employees). Also, the always-on display is expected to remain. Even the Galaxy S23 Ultra does not employ Samsung's most recent display technology, so this may be a shift. Apple may use a new curved bezel design, making the phone resemble prior iPhone 11 series devices while maintaining a flat display. Read More: Infinix Zero 5G 2023 Turbo Review: What’s special about it Cameras The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max are among the greatest camera phones, partly because of the upgraded 48MP primary sensor. It is capable of taking excellent photographs, using all 48 megapixels in RAW pictures. Apple will reportedly employ Sony's new "state-of-the-art" sensor for the iPhone 15 according to rumors. This sensor might possibly improve the iPhone 15 Pro's over- and under-exposure correction by doubling the pixel saturation levels. This would be fantastic, since the iPhone 14 Pro suffers a little with exposure management in difficult lighting conditions. A periscope telephoto lens for the iPhone has been rumored for some time, and 2023 may be the year it becomes a reality. Ming-Chi Kuo asserts that the iPhone 15 Pro will include periscope telephoto functionality, allowing it to compete with Samsung and Google in terms of zoom capabilities. But, it might be saved for the iPhone 15 Ultra, since it was featured in a recent iPhone 15 Pro render. Read More: OPPO Find N2 Foldable Smartphone Review: Should you wait for it? Another Kuo report suggests that the iPhone 15 Pro would use an 8P primary lens to eliminate distortion in wide-angle images. However, given that Apple recently switched to a 7P lens for the iPhone 14 Pro, this rumor should be treated with caution. Performance In all likelihood, this will be the A17 Bionic. TrendForce suggests that the iPhone 15 Pro series will employ the speculated A17 Bionic, while the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus would continue Apple use the older A16 Bionic CPU. In fact, it is reported that the A17 Bionic will be made utilizing a 3nm technology, which would potentially boost both performance and power efficiency. Hence, although the A16 Bionic is outstanding, its successor may be much more so. TSMC, which manufactures Apple's silicon and has launched mass production on its new 3nm chip, anticipates a 35% increase in power efficiency using the 3nm process. This speaks well for the battery life of the iPhone 15 Pro.

Qualcomm's X70 processor has enhanced Intelligence for quicker processing speeds, a wider coverage area, a stronger signal, reduced latency, and up to 60 percent greater battery efficiency. Software The iPhone 15 Pro will almost certainly ship with iOS 17, a new version of Apple's iPhone operating system. Like in the past, the June Global Developer Conference will provide a preview of the software update's new features. There will be a public beta throughout the summer and a complete release in the autumn. Other Features Many, like us, anticipate that Apple will ultimately abandon the Lightning connector on the iPhone in 2023, replacing it with USB-C as specified by the European Union and effective from December 2024. The USB-C ports on the high-end iPhones will purportedly provide greater data transfer rates than the Lightning connectors on the basic iPhones, which are akin to the antiquated USB 2.0 standard.

It is expected that the iPhone 15 Pro will cost $100 more than the $999 iPhone 14 Pro. This might be due to the next-generation iPhone's more sophisticated features. Nevertheless, this would result in a basic iPhone 15 Pro costing more than $1,000, which might be a burden for customers, particularly when the cost of living is high. Apple often introduces new iPhones in September, therefore we predict the iPhone 15 Pro will debut around mid-September 2023, with one expert predicting September 22/23 as the precise retail release date. Conclusion In conclusion, the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro promises to be an exciting addition to the Apple lineup. With its advanced features and sleek design, it is sure to impress both longtime Apple fans and new users alike.
