Phone makers put all their effort into selling bigger sensors, ones with an exceptionally high number of megapixels, along with longer zoom ranges (often with the help of AI upscaling).

A third unreleased Nothing phone, model number A036, just showed up in the GSMA IMEI database. It joins A006 and A010, which I saw pop up back in August 2026. OVR+ first reported the listing and says none of these three is a flagship. That lines up with what Nothing has been saying. The company …

Every phone launch promises to reinvent mobile photography. I’m not buying it. With the X500 series, Vivo is betting on the zoom camera. Most flagships handle close-up shots well. They fall short when your subject is far away or moving fast. Picture a batsman mid-shot from the stands. vivo’s India teasers push the tagline “ZEISS …

I can already see the next vivo Ultra taking shape, and it’s just four to six months out. DCS tips the vivo X500 Ultra for a March or April 2027 launch with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6. That timing lines up with the X300 Ultra, which hit China in March 2026 and landed …

Pixel Drops are a bit like Diwali gifts that you get from relatives and friends. Some are dry fruit boxes, high in value and nutrition, while others are, well, boxes of soan papdi.
