Unihertz has revealed the camera specifications for their forthcoming Jelly Max compact phone. The device features a sophisticated triple-camera setup, headlined by a robust 100-megapixel OVA0B sensor in the main camera, ensuring high-detail photo captures.
Exceptional Telephoto Lens
Photography lovers will be delighted with the phone’s dedicated 8-megapixel telephoto lens, which offers a 3.4x optical zoom, making it ideal for capturing sharp close-ups of distant subjects. Complementing this setup is a 32-megapixel GD1 front-facing camera, perfect for high-quality selfies and video calls.

I made an error in my report regarding the Galaxy S25+, suggesting it might not be released, and I apologize for that. Samsung will indeed continue with the “Plus” model in the Galaxy S25 series. I should have waited before claiming that the Galaxy S25+ might not be launched. Everyone can make mistakes; the key is to learn from them.
The reason behind my initial report was that all Galaxy S24 series models were added to the database in July 2023. The same applied to the Galaxy S25 series. Initially, when I only saw the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Ultra in the database, I assumed the Galaxy S25+ would not be introduced. However, after further analysis of the GSMA database, I can confirm that the Galaxy S25+ will indeed be officially available worldwide.
No smartphone is introduced if it is not added to the GSMA database, indicating that the device isn’t in the production plan. Each smartphone must have an IMEI number, which is crucial for making calls, connecting to the internet, and other functionalities. Thus, the GSMA database plays a vital role.
Previously, we reported that the Galaxy S25+ might not be released due to some unusual reasons, which we have explained above. Samsung typically adds all devices to be introduced to the database about six months in advance. This year, however, Samsung initially added only the regular Galaxy S25 and the Galaxy S25 Ultra, with the Plus model missing. This led me to believe that the Galaxy S25+ would not be launched, which was incorrect. The smartphone will be officially introduced, so there’s no need to worry.
Galaxy S25+ IMEI Database
We have spotted the Galaxy S25+ in the IMEI database with the model number SM-S936U. The “U” at the end of the model number signifies the “US” region. We already knew the regular Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Ultra were on the way. With this new finding, it’s clear that Samsung has not abandoned the Plus model.
How the Rumor Started
Previously, Samsung added all models of the Galaxy S24 series to the database in July 2023. The early detection of the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Ultra on July 1 made us think the Galaxy S25+ would not be introduced. Samsung added the Galaxy S25 Plus to the database shortly after, on July 9. This brief delay caused many to believe that the Galaxy S25+ would not be released. However, this is untrue; the Galaxy S25+ is now in the database and will be released next year.
Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event in Paris is scheduled for tomorrow, with the Galaxy Z Fold 6 expected to take center stage. However, speculation has been rife about a thinner, potentially larger-screened version, the Z Fold 6 Ultra (or Z Fold 6 Slim). Today, a new leak indicates that the Fold 6 Ultra project may be on indefinite hold, dampening those expectations.
Details are limited, but the Ultra’s main attraction appeared to be its slimmer design compared to the standard Fold 6. This would have put Samsung in contention for the title of the world’s thinnest foldable phone, a title currently held by Honor’s Magic V2.
Competitive Landscape
Honor is gearing up to launch its Magic V3 foldable this month, which promises to be even thinner than the Magic V2. Likewise, Xiaomi is rumored to be developing the Mix Fold 4, which is also expected to have an exceptionally slim profile.
The absence of a Fold 6 Ultra launch might indicate that Samsung’s design for the device wasn’t thin enough to compete. Alternatively, the company may have chosen to allocate resources elsewhere. Regardless of the reason, this latest rumor suggests a missed opportunity for Samsung.
The forthcoming Z Fold 6 is rumored to feature only minor upgrades, which may not provide the level of innovation needed to retain market share.
Whether the Fold 6 Ultra’s delay is due to technical constraints or a strategic pivot by Samsung remains uncertain. But one thing is clear: the current wave of foldable phones seems to be driven by advancements from Chinese companies. This could serve as a wake-up call for Samsung, pushing them to enhance their foldable technology soon.
