Is OnePlus working on a gaming smartphone with shoulder triggers? Here's what the report suggests
After confirming the launch date for its upcoming Nord 5 and Nord CE 5 smartphones in India, OnePlus may have another device in the works, this time aimed squarely at mobile gamers. According to recent industry chatter, the Chinese tech giant is experimenting with a dedicated gaming smartphone, though it is unlikely to be released outside its domestic market. Tipster Yogesh Brar, known for his reliable insights into the smartphone industry, revealed in a post on social media platform X that OnePlus is developing a 'sub-series' of phones focused on gaming. He added that the project remains in the experimental phase, suggesting it may still be undergoing internal research and development. Early information hints that the rumoured handset could include high-end hardware, such as a flagship-grade processor, a substantial battery, and physical shoulder triggers, features tailored to enhance gaming performance. These triggers are expected to offer improved responsiveness and tactile feedback, features commonly found in dedicated gaming phones. However, Brar noted that a global release for this potential gaming device appears uncertain. 'The possibility of a global launch is dicey,' he said, implying the product might stay exclusive to the Chinese market should it make it to production. If launched, the new gaming-focused device from OnePlus could join a competitive field currently led by brands like Asus and Nubia. Asus's ROG Phone 9 series and Nubia's Red Magic 10 Pro range are among the top choices for gamers seeking performance-oriented smartphones. While the tech giant has not confirmed any plans for such a device, the move would mark its first foray into the gaming phone segment. The company's existing smartphone lineup, including the recently unveiled OnePlus 13s featuring a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, already caters to power users—but a dedicated gaming sub-brand could take that appeal even further.

Poco F7 Set to Launch in India on June 24 with Big Battery and Fast Chip
The Poco F7 will launch in India on June 24, 2025. Before the official launch, new leaks have shared some important details, including the possible price. A well-known source, Yogesh Brar, says the phone might cost between ₹30,000 and ₹35,000. Poco has not confirmed this yet, but the price matches what they charged for earlier models like the F6, F5, and F4. Poco usually sells its F-series phones as fast and powerful models at lower prices. Since other brands like iQOO and OnePlus also have strong phones under ₹35,000, Poco is likely to keep the F7 affordable. Battery and Charging The Poco F7 phone is already listed on Flipkart. One features that is making people talk about this phone is its huge 7,550mAh battery. Being touted as one of the biggest battery ever in an Indian smartphone, Poco says the battery can last for more than 2 days with normal use. The phone uses new battery technology called silicon-carbon, which helps it support 90W fast charging. It also has 22.5W reverse charging, meaning you can use it to charge other devices like a power bank. If this is true, the Poco F7 will overtake phones like the iQOO Z10 and Vivo T4 in terms of battery size. But it's still not clear if the phone will feel heavy or bulky because of the big battery. Speed and Performance The Poco F7 is expected to come with the new Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor by Qualcomm. A test on Geekbench (a website for phone speed scores) shows the phone may have this chip and 12GB of RAM in one version. This chip is made for fast performance. In tests, it seems to work almost as well as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which is found in top-end phones. The Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 focuses more on multi-core speed, meaning it can handle many apps or tasks at once. But since it skips small energy-saving cores, it may not save as much battery. If Poco keeps the price around ₹30,000, this phone could be one of the fastest in its price range. Display, Storage, and Camera The Poco F7 might actually be a rebranded version of the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro, which came out in China. If that's true, the F7 will have a 6.83-inch AMOLED screen, 1.5K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and IP68 rating, which means it's water and dust resistant. The phone may offer up to 1TB of storage and 16GB of RAM. For photos, the leaks say it could have a 50MP main camera, an 8MP wide-angle camera, and a 20MP front camera for selfies and video calls. Final Thoughts With the launch happening soon, fans will find out how much of this is true. If the price and features are as good as the leaks suggest, the Poco F7 could be a great option for anyone looking for a powerful phone at a mid-range price.

According to tipster Yogesh Brar, the upcoming Poco smartphone could be priced between Rs 30,000 and Rs 35,000. While this has not been confirmed by the brand, the leaked range aligns with Poco's past pricing strategy for its F-series recent years, Poco has positioned its F-series as performance-driven devices at aggressive prices. The F6 and F5 both started at Rs 29,999, while the F4 was launched at Rs 27,999. Considering the tough competition under the Rs 35,000 segment from rivals like iQOO and OnePlus, Poco is expected to keep the F7 within reach of value-focused Poco F7 is already listed on Flipkart, giving a glimpse of what to expect. The biggest highlight appears to be its massive 7,550mAh battery — potentially the largest ever seen on a smartphone in India. Poco claims the battery can last more than two days on a single charge under normal usage. This is made possible by silicon-carbon battery tech, which also supports 90W fast charging and 22.5W reverse charging, turning the device into a power bank when needed. If the specs are accurate, the Poco F7 could surpass existing leaders like the iQOO Z10 and Vivo T4 in battery capacity. However, the final design is still under wraps, so questions remain about whether the phone will be bulky due to its large In terms of performance, the Poco F7 is expected to come with Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset.

This new chip is designed for high-end performance, and early benchmarks indicate that it might deliver speeds close to the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen give some context, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 uses a balanced core setup, including one Cortex-X4, five Cortex-A720, and two Cortex-A520 cores. In comparison, the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 is tuned more for multi-core performance, with one Cortex-X4 and seven Cortex-A720 cores, but it skips the smaller efficiency cores.

If the Poco F7 does launch around the Rs 30,000 mark with this chipset, it could be one of the most powerful phones in its segment. That said, since these details are based on leaks and not yet officially confirmed by Poco, it's best to wait for the launch before drawing Poco F7 is also said to be a rebranded version of the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro, which launched recently in China.

If the pricing and features turn out to be true, the F7 could give strong competition to other mid-range heavyweights in India.

Nothing Phone (3) may debut with a "flagship" chip – just not the flagship-est one
The Nothing Phone (3) is getting ready to show itself on July 1, but not a lot of stones have been left unturned, thanks to leaks. Now, a new leak claims to give us the chip that is going to power Nothing's first 'flagship' phone, and it may turn out the Phone (3) is not the most flagshippy of flagships. Tipster Yogesh Brar has now shared on X that the Nothing Phone (3) may be powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4. The processor of the phone was rumored to be either this one, or the Elite (found in the Galaxy S25 Ultra), but this new leak puts more weight on the weaker processor. Nothing Phone 3 powered by Snapdragon 8s Gen on it? And What do you want to know next?? — Yogesh Brar (@heyitsyogesh) June 17, 2025 The Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 is not a slow processor, per se. It's still flagship-grade, fast, and capable, but it has certain compromises made compared to the Snapdragon 8 Elite. The 8s Gen 4 has a CPU with one Cortex-X4 (3.2GHz) core, three Cortex-A720 cores at 3GHz, two Cortex-A720 cores at 2.8GHz, and two Cortex-A720 cores at 2GHz. As you can see, this chip has no little cores, and it doesn't use Qualcomm's powerful Oryon CPU cores, so it may be slower than the Snapdragon 8 Elite. The new processor also features an Adreno GPU with the new architecture that debuted on the Snapdragon 8 Elite. This new architecture uses two slices instead of three. It also features an NPU (Neural Processing Unit, mainly used for AI tasks) that should be 44% faster than the one in 8s Gen 3. But, despite these improvements over its predecessor, the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 is still not the best Qualcomm is capable of. It lags behind the Snapdragon 8 Elite by not supporting 8K video recording, things like 4K/120fps slow-motion capture, and mmWave 5G. So, it's likely the Nothing Phone (3) won't have these features, if the rumor about the chip is accurate. Obviously, these features are not entirely must-haves, but it does show that Nothing's first flagship may not be on the level with the beastiest of flagships on the market, such as the Galaxy S25 or the iPhone 16.
