Poco F7 Ultra is now receiving HyperOS 3 based on Android 16

Yesterday, the Xiaomi 15 global units started receiving the update to HyperOS 3 based on Android 16, following Xiaomi's announcement of the rollout a few days prior.

Today it's time for the Poco F7 Ultra to get the same treatment. Specifically, European units are now receiving the update, which identifies as OS3.0.3.0.WOMEUXM. It's based on Android 16 as you'd expect and gives you Xiaomi's latest and greatest skin.

The update arrives as a whopping 7.6GB over-the-air download, so make sure you only attempt to grab it while you're connected to a fast enough network. If you have an F7 Ultra purchased from Europe (you can check if its current firmware build has the letters "EU" in it), then you can go to Settings > About phone > System update to manually check for HyperOS 3.

The new software promises a fresher look (that's iOS-inspired, let's be honest), better performance, improved memory management and background process management, as well as optimized power consumption.

iPhone 18 Pro colors leak and they're wild

The iPhone 17 Pro launched last month in Silver, Cosmic Orange, and Deep Blue. If you don't like these colors and want something else, all you need to do is wait a year, apparently.

Today in China the purported colorways in which the iPhone 18 Pro will be offered in September 2026 have been leaked. They are Coffee, Purple, and Burgundy. They are portrayed in the speculative image below.

If this pans out, it means Apple isn't going to switch course. It will still not offer a black or white option. That's a bold strategy for sure, but clearly the company thinks it's the right one.

Going back to the rumored colors for the iPhone 18 Pro, some version of purple has already been seen in the iPhone XR, iPhone 11, iPhone 12, iPhone 14, and iPhone 14 Pro, but so far there's never been a 'Coffee' or 'Burgundy' iPhone. So that's exciting.

Oppo Find N6 specs leak, it will be thinner and lighter than a non-folding Ultra

The Oppo Find N5 launched back in February, and now Oppo is hard at work on its successor, which we assume will be called Find N6. Today in China some fresh details about the upcoming device have been outed.

The Find N6 is said to have an 8.1" folding screen and a 6.6" cover display, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC at the helm, and a battery capacity that should be around 6,000 mAh.

On the rear will be a 50MP main camera using Sony's Lytia LYT-808 1/1.4" type sensor, as well as a 50MP periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom.

The fingerprint sensor is still side-mounted, embedded into the power button. There will be a high water resistance rating and wireless charging will be supported too. Interestingly, the phone is said to be thinner and lighter than an unnamed Ultra - we assume this is either the Find X8 Ultra or the upcoming Find X9 Ultra.

If it's the former the leaker is talking about, then the Find N6 will be thinner than 8.8mm when folded, and lighter than 226g. Neither of those feats is beyond the realm of possibility, given that the Find N5 is 8.9mm thick when folded and weighs 229g.
