Infinix’s 6mm Smartphone Leaks in Live Images
Rumors are swirling about a new phone from Infinix, following the release of the Infinix Hot 50 5G. If the rumors hold true, this forthcoming device might be the slimmest smartphone to hit the market in the last five years.
Currently, the title of the slimmest phone is held by the Tecno Camon 11 series, which was launched in 2018. Tecno is part of Transsion, the same parent company that owns Infinix. According to Passionategeekz, which cites insider information, Infinix is working on a phone that will be just 6mm thick. They also released live images comparing the thickness of the device to that of an iPhone.
Design and Features
The leaked photos show a smartphone with a curved display, possibly featuring 3D curved glass. The back panel curves gently toward the edges, seamlessly integrating with a central frame that connects the front and back, offering a sleek aesthetic.
Though only the back of the phone is visible in the images, it appears similar in design to the Infinix Hot 50 5G. The rear showcases a rectangular camera module housing three camera sensors and an LED flash.
Technology Behind the Slim Design
The phone’s ultra-slim profile might be due to the use of silicon carbon battery cells. These cells have a higher energy density than the graphite commonly found in lithium-ion batteries. Silicon can hold more lithium ions per volume, allowing for smaller batteries without sacrificing capacity.
The images also contrast the Infinix device with an iPhone Pro/Pro Max model, highlighting the noticeable difference in thickness. For comparison, the recently launched iPhone 16 is 7.80mm thick, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max measures 8.25mm.
What’s Next?
Aside from its eye-catching thinness, other specifications of the Infinix phone are still unknown. However, with live images now in circulation, an official announcement seems likely in the near future.

Samsung Galaxy S24 FE Renders Leak in Four Colors
Leaks about the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE are becoming increasingly frequent as its announcement draws near. Previously, renders of the phone emerged, but they didn’t show the full range of color options available.
Design and Colors
A recent leak from Android Headlines has now revealed the phone’s design in four distinct colors: Blue, Graphite, Green, and Yellow. Although the S24 FE is also speculated to be available in white, this color was not part of the latest leak.
Upon examining the renders, one might easily mistake the S24 FE for the S23 FE due to their striking similarities. Samsung appears to be taking a "don’t fix what isn’t broken" approach. The rear camera setup and the punch-hole display maintain a familiar look.
Design Changes and Display Features
The most significant design change seems to be the frame, which has transitioned from the S23 FE’s curved design to a flatter, more contemporary style—a feature borrowed from Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S24. However, this change doesn’t make the phone particularly distinctive in appearance.
Beyond the design, the phone is anticipated to feature a 6.7-inch FHD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate and an impressive peak brightness of 1,900 nits. For those prone to accidental drops, the Gorilla Glass Victus+ should provide some reassurance.Gorilla Glass Victus+ should provide some reassurance
Performance and Camera
The device is expected to be powered by a slightly toned-down version of Samsung’s latest Exynos 2400 chipset. In the camera department, Samsung appears to be sticking to a tried-and-true formula with a 50MP main sensor, a 12MP ultrawide lens, and an 8MP telephoto lens offering 3x zoom.
Charging Capabilities
Charging options seem to remain the same, with support for 25W wired and 15W wireless charging. While these figures might seem a bit outdated compared to some competitors that offer faster charging speeds, it’s consistent with what Samsung offers on the high-end S24 and S24 Plus, so there isn’t much room for criticism here.

Oppo Find X8 Design Schematic Revealed Ahead of October Launch
Around two months remain before the Oppo Find X8 series is unveiled, which is expected to include at least three models: the Find X8, X8 Pro, and X8 Ultra. Reports suggest that the Find X8 and X8 Pro will launch in China in October, while the Ultra might be announced by January 2025. Recently, a tipster known as Digital Chat Station shared a schematic that seems to reveal the design of the standard Find X8.
Design Details
DCS has also mentioned that the Find X8 will sport a flat screen, while the X8 Pro and X8 Ultra will feature displays with a micro-curvature design. Thus, the image showing a flat display likely represents the standard Find X8 model.
The schematic indicates an earpiece situated on the top bezel of the Find X8. The device seems to have an alert slider on the left and a volume rocker along with a power button on the right side.
Camera Features
On the back of the Find X8, there’s a round camera module that includes four camera rings with a Hasselblad logo centered. Being a standard variant, it is expected to house a triple camera setup. An LED flash is positioned in the upper-left corner of the module.
Comparing to Oppo Find X7
For comparison, the Find X7, which launched in January this year, shares a similar design but features a curved-edge display instead of a flat one. Additionally, although it also has a round camera module on the rear, the layout slightly differs.
Oppo Find X8 Rumored Specifications
Rumors suggest that the Oppo Find X8 will sport a 6.4-inch or 6.5-inch OLED display with a resolution of 2760 x 1256 pixels and a 120Hz refresh rate. It is anticipated to be powered by the Dimensity 9400 chipset and equipped with a 5,600mAh silicon battery. The phone is expected to run on ColorOS 15 based on Android 15. The rear camera setup is likely to include a 50-megapixel Sony main camera, an ultrawide lens, and a Sony IMX882 periscope telephoto camera. The color options may include black, white, blue, and pink.

The render, unveiled by TechBoilers, indicates a significant design change for the Note 14 Pro. Unlike the Redmi Note 13 Pro, which featured cameras positioned on the side without a dedicated module, the Note 14 Pro appears to have its cameras centered within a unique squircle module.

Sony Xperia 5 VI Leaked: New Render Images Revealed
Following the recent successful debut of the Xperia 1 VI, Sony is preparing to introduce the Xperia 5 VI! Rendered images of the Xperia 5 VI were recently found on a German case retailer’s website.
Rumors had circulated online suggesting that Sony might be discontinuing the Xperia 5 series, but that’s evidently not true. Sony is ready to launch the Xperia 5 VI soon. The render images suggest that the design of the new Xperia 5 VI closely resembles that of its predecessor, the Xperia 5 V.
Design and Features

OnePlus 13 Mockup: Company Design Backward Trend
OnePlus is anticipated to unveil its upcoming flagship smartphone, the OnePlus 13, later this year. Speculation has been circulating about a fresh design for the device, although specific details have been scarce up to this point.
Design Changes Unveiled
Today marks a turning point as a mockup render of the OnePlus 13 has appeared on Weibo, revealing alterations to the design, particularly at the back.
OnePlus has traditionally favored a circular and hinge-style camera setup for its premium phones. However, the leaked renders indicate a departure from this norm, showcasing the OnePlus 13 with a rectangular camera island on its rear.
Notable Design Shifts
While the new design deviates from its predecessor, some observers have drawn parallels to the 2022 OnePlus 10 Pro. The primary distinction lies in the fact that the camera module of the OnePlus 13 does not seamlessly integrate with the metal frame, resulting in a slight elevation.
Camera Setup and Features
The rectangular module on the OnePlus 13 accommodates a triple-camera system along with a ring-shaped LED light. Positioned at the center of the island is a Hasselblad logo, adding a touch of branding to the device.
On the right side of the phone, familiar placements of the power and volume buttons are evident, while the left frame likely hosts the signature OnePlus alert slider.
It’s essential to bear in mind that the render is merely a speculative representation, and the final design of the OnePlus 13 could differ significantly. Therefore, it is advisable to approach this leak with caution.
Expected Specifications
In terms of specifications, rumors suggest that the smartphone will feature a 6.8-inch OLED LTPO display with a 2K resolution, possibly incorporating an in-display fingerprint scanner. Powering the device is expected to be the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset.

Sony Xperia 1 VI Leaked Renders Show Familiar Design
We have a sneak peek at the Sony Xperia 1 VI. Renowned tipster Steve Hemmerstoffer, also known as Onleaks, has unveiled the CAD-based renders of the smartphone showcasing its design from various perspectives. This device is set to be the successor to last year’s Xperia 1 V and is generating a buzz in the rumor mill, indicating an imminent launch.
Sony Xperia 1 VI Design Unveiled
The design of the Sony Xperia 1 VI closely mirrors its predecessor. Sporting a flat frame, the smartphone positions the volume rocker and power buttons on the right side, with the power button also serving as a fingerprint scanner. Additionally, there is a dedicated camera shutter button near the bottom edge on the same side.
Detailed Features of Sony Xperia 1 VI
The back panel of the Sony Xperia 1 VI showcases a pill-shaped protruding camera module housing three ZEISS lenses, including a periscope sensor. Along the bottom edge, one can find a USB-C port and a SIM tray slot, while the top edge features a 3.5mm headphone jack.
While many Android smartphones opt for a bezel-less display with a punch-hole cutout at the center, Sony maintains a traditional approach with top and bottom bezels that are not excessively thick. The device is expected to offer a 6.5-inch display, with dimensions measuring 161.9 x 74.5 x 8.4mm. This suggests that compared to the Xperia 1 V, the new model will be slightly smaller, wider, and thicker, potentially altering the aspect ratio from 21:9 to 19.5:9.
The leaked renders do not provide additional details about the Sony Xperia 1 VI. However, reports indicate that the upcoming device may feature a 2K display instead of the previously seen 4K resolution. Marketing material leaks suggest the presence of 48MP primary, ultra-wide, and periscope units utilizing an Exmor T sensor.
