OnePlus Nord CE6 Lite Is Back After Two Years — Why Its Rs 20,999 India Price Matters Now

On Tuesday, OnePlus launched the Nord CE6 Lite in India, marking the return of its CE Lite series after two years. The new device lands with a larger battery and a speedier display, starting at Rs 20,999. OnePlus is pitching it to buyers after a 5G-ready phone priced just below the Nord CE6, without sacrificing battery size or refresh rate. Timing is key here. With India’s smartphone market squeezed by pricier components and softer demand, the Rs 20,000-Rs 25,000 segment has turned crucial for brands chasing volume but unwilling to sacrifice margins. According to Counterpoint Research, smartphone shipments in India dropped 3% year-on-year in the first quarter—the lowest quarterly total in six years.

RedMagic 11 Pro: The Gaming Phone That Puts Water in Its Veins (First Liquid-Cooled Smartphone Stuns Tech World)

The Nubia RedMagic 11 Pro is making headlines as a smartphone that literally has liquid cooling coursing through its veins. Mobile gamers and tech enthusiasts have never seen anything quite like it: this new gaming flagship actually pumps fluid inside the phone to keep it cool, much like a miniature PC water-cooling rig. The result? A device that tech reviewers are calling a potential game-changer in smartphone design and performance. “Most powerful phone on the planet,” exclaimed Zack Nelson of JerryRigEverything after tearing down the RedMagic 11 Pro androidauthority.com.

Motorola Edge 70: Ultra-Thin Phone Packs Massive Battery & Outsmarts the iPhone Air on Price

It’s “the Year of the Thin Phone,” as TechRadar quips techradar.com. Earlier in 2025 we saw Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge and Apple’s iPhone Air enter the ultra-slim race techradar.com. These devices wowed with record-thin profiles but demanded steep compromises – notably tiny batteries and sky-high prices. Consumer response has been lukewarm: Samsung’s S25 Edge sold so poorly that the company is reportedly axing its “Edge” variant next year, and analysts say the iPhone Air’s sales have been abysmal despite the buzz phonearena.com. Now Motorola has jumped into the fray with the Edge 70 – known as the Moto X70 Air in China techradar.com – and it’s taking a different approach. Instead of a stratospheric flagship, Motorola is offering a mid-range

Apple Cuts iPhone Air Production by 80% Amid ‘Virtually No Demand’

With these factors combined, Apple’s newest “Air” iPhone – intended as a sleek, ultra-thin model – is already being trimmed back. Multiple supply-chain sources tell Nikkei Asia that starting in November the iPhone Air’s component orders will be less than 10% of what they were in September, effectively approaching “end-of-production” levels 9to5mac.com economictimes.indiatimes.com. One supplier manager explained, “The total forecast has almost entered end-of-production mode…production in November will be down by about 10% versus September’s production run” appleinsider.com. In other words, Apple appears to be winding down Air production as customers largely ignore the phone. This news follows Apple’s own launch of the Air in mid-September. The iPhone Air is just 5.6 mm thick – Apple’s thinnest ever – using

Huawei Pura 90 Ultra Leak: April 2026 Launch with Monster 1/1.28″ Camera and 7,300mAh Battery

Huawei’s Pura series was born in spring 2024, and insiders now say the Pura 90 will revert to that schedule. According to a HuaweiCentral leak, the Pura 90 lineup is likely to hit the market in April 2026 huaweicentral.com. In context, Pura 80 models only arrived in June 2025 after delays for camera and chip tweaks huaweicentral.com, so moving back to April suggests Huawei is streamlining its roadmap. Tipsters have sketched Huawei’s 2026 roadmap, and the Pura 90 is at the front of that plan huaweicentral.com. The first Pura phone launched in April 2024 huaweicentral.com, so this would put the Pura 90 exactly two years later on the same calendar, reinforcing it as Huawei’s annual imaging flagship.

OnePlus has highlighted that the new battery and charging suite are aimed at gamers and power users. As Android Central explains, OnePlus’ marketing touts the 7,300mAh cell as part of its “Glacier Battery” tech to enable longer gaming sessions. The company states the pack is “designed to enhance its ‘ultra-high-frame-rate gaming’ experience” androidcentral.com. In its own Weibo teaser OnePlus described the OnePlus 15 as “designed for ultra-high-frame-rate gaming” with the 7,300 mAh cell and “120W Super Flash Charge” 9to5google.com. In short, the OnePlus 15 looks to set new endurance benchmarks. Hadlee Simons at Android Authority calls the jump to 7,300 mAh a “significant upgrade” over the 6,000 mAh OnePlus 13 battery, and even a “gigantic upgrade” over most rivals androidauthority.com.

Pixel 10 Pro vs iPhone 17 Pro: The Shocking Camera Zoom Showdown

Apple and Google have taken different paths. Apple boosted every camera on the iPhone 17 lineup: the base model finally gets a 48MP main shooter with a new Ultra Wide also at 48MP, plus an 18MP selfie moneycontrol.com. The iPhone 17 Pro adds a 48MP telephoto that yields 8× “lossless” zoom theguardian.com, along with improved image processing that makes low-light shots brighter and more detailed.

“Thin phones are in, and Motorola doesn’t want to miss out,” observed The Verge’s Dominic Preston, as brands across the industry race to shave down device thickness theverge.com. In 2025, ultra-slim smartphones have become a hot trend following the era of foldables.
