According to a report from Smartprix, citing industry sources, OPPO is pushing forward with the process of merging OnePlus and Realme into its ecosystem. The most notable move is eliminating the two interfaces OxygenOS and Realme UI, shifting all OnePlus, Realme, and OPPO devices to use a shared ColorOS.

At present, none of the three brands have given official confirmation of this information.

No longer running Android 12 and 4G LTE, leaked images show that the Global version of the HUAWEI Pura 90 Series will run a new interface based on the Android 16 platform while also supporting 5G networks.

Recently, a lot of self-rendered concept designs leaked from various sources, and they all show a horizontal camera cluster design. So there's a high chance that this is real. And in the end, Samsung might finally have to equip a 5500 mAh battery.

Officially today, the news that realme’s CEO for the Indian market has resigned has surfaced. At the same time, information has emerged about a historic merger in which Realme and OnePlus will combine.

In addition, realme’s China operations will be shut down (while its global business remains active). OnePlus will also significantly scale down its operations, retaining presence only in India and China.

With these changes, it appears OPPO is completely rewriting its global strategy.

​The image depicts a Motorola smartphone featuring the brand’s signature design: a flat metal frame, a square rear camera module with a 50MP main Sony Lytia sensor (with OIS), an auxiliary sensor, and LED flash. The back cover is available in green, light blue, or black.

The device has a dedicated function button on the left side, a centered hole-punch selfie camera on its flat display, and MIL-STD-810H durability certification. Notably, Motorola displayed it alongside a flat circular wireless charger, indicating support for magnetic Qi2 accessories.

It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor, which includes two Oryon Gen 3 Prime cores (up to 3.8 GHz) and six Oryon Gen 3 Performance cores (3.32 GHz). Other details such as battery, screen specifications, dimensions, launch date, and pricing have not yet been revealed.

Overall, the combination of a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset with a relatively modest dual-camera setup positions this device as a high-quality mid-range smartphone (likely the Motorola Edge 70 Max) rather than a full flagship.

Huawei has officially announced its three-phase global strategy for HarmonyOS NEXT. The plan is careful and systematic, focusing on stability and ecosystem development rather than rushing each phase.

Phase 1: 2024–2026 Domestic Market Consolidation

On October 22, 2024, HarmonyOS NEXT was officially launched in China. The main goal for the first two years is not revenue, but survival and building a complete domestic ecosystem. The priority is to ensure a rich library of local applications and help users become familiar with the system before focusing on profitability.

Phase 2: 2027–2028 Regional Expansion

Huawei will begin expanding internationally through indirect channels. Priority will be given to lighter device categories such as smartwatches, smart speakers, and smart TVs. Initial target markets include Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America. These are regions that are less dependent on Google services. The strategy will leverage Huawei’s “1+8+N” ecosystem and cooperate with local partners to enter these markets more smoothly.

Phase 3: 2029 Onward Full Scale Attack on Europe

Once the ecosystem reaches sufficient maturity, Huawei will make a strong push into the highly competitive European market.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The Android emulation app stays the same. The update mainly improves animation effects and optimizes gaming performance.

Furthermore, Huawei recently announced that the number of devices running the latest version of HarmonyOS has exceeded 60 million and is expected to surpass 100 million by the end of this year.

Let's look forward to it.
