The Galaxy S25 Ultra debuted in early 2025 and was soon joined by other ultra-premium Android smartphones with similar specifications and naming conventions, including the Vivo X200 Ultra, Oppo Find X8 Ultra, and Xiaomi 15 Ultra. By the end of June 2025, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra had reportedly become the best-selling among the three, with 586,000 units sold, compared to 219,000 for the Vivo model and 210,000 for the Oppo device.
In comparison, Samsung shipped 8.39 million units of the Galaxy S25 Ultra during the same period. This figure also surpassed sales of its predecessor, the Galaxy S24 Ultra, which had reached 7.65 million units by June 2024. The data originates from numbers reposted on X from Weibo by leaker Ice Universe, though it remains unclear whether the figures represent global shipments or sales within China alone.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra distinguishes itself with an anti-glare 1440p Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, powered by a custom Snapdragon 8 Elite processor overclocked to 4.47GHz. It also retains exclusive S Pen support, which sets it apart from its rivals.
However, in independent camera benchmarks such as those conducted by DxOMark, the S25 Ultra has often been outperformed by competing devices. Most recently, the Huawei Pura 80 Ultra ranked higher despite lacking Android, suggesting that Samsung’s 200MP main sensor and AI-driven imaging enhancements do not always translate to superior performance.
A growing number of smart wearables claim to measure sleep quality and stress levels to help users make informed health and lifestyle decisions. However, a recent study suggests that these devices may not be sufficiently accurate, particularly in assessing stress.
The study, conducted at Leiden University in the Netherlands, involved 781 student participants who wore the same smart wearable for a period of three months. During this time, participants also completed ecological momentary assessment (EMA) surveys that recorded self-reported data on sleep, fatigue, and stress levels.

The findings indicated a strong correlation between the wearable’s data and the participants' EMA reports for sleep and fatigue. However, there was a notable divergence in stress measurement, with the wearable's readings failing to align with self-reported stress levels.
The study used the Garmin Vivosmart 4, a model released in 2018 and discontinued in 2022 in favor of the Vivosmart 5. This device’s specific approach to stress tracking may have contributed to the discrepancy with EMA data.

Despite the use of a single older device, the study’s results have raised broader concerns about the reliability of wrist-worn wearables in accurately tracking stress, a feature that remains prominent in many such devices today.
Honor has confirmed that its upcoming clamshell foldable smartphone, the Magic V Flip 2, will launch in China on August 21. The company has also shared the phone’s design and color options, and further details have now emerged through a new leak.
According to the tipster, the Magic V Flip 2 will feature a 6.82-inch internal LTPO AMOLED display with Full HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The external screen will be a 4-inch Full HD+ LTPO AMOLED panel, also with 120Hz refresh rate.
The device will include a 200 MP primary rear camera accompanied by a 50 MP ultrawide sensor, while the front-facing camera will be a 50 MP sensor.

Powering the phone is the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, backed by a 5,500 mAh battery. Charging options will include 80W wired and 50W wireless support. A side-mounted fingerprint scanner will provide biometric security.
The phone will measure 15.5 mm when closed and 6.9 mm when unfolded, with a total weight of 204 grams. Honor will offer the Magic V Flip 2 in four color variants, including a special edition developed in collaboration with Professor Jimmy Choo.
DJI has released an official teaser for its upcoming Osmo 360 camera, confirming a full product reveal scheduled for July 31 at 8:00 a.m. EDT. The teaser features a silhouetted dual-lens camera and the phrase “All In One,” suggesting a self-contained 360-degree capture solution without the need for accessories or external rigs.
Though the teaser reveals little in terms of specifications, it confirms earlier speculation and regulatory leaks indicating DJI's entry into the consumer 360-degree video market — positioning the Osmo 360 as a direct competitor to the Insta360 X5 and GoPro Max.

Regulatory Confirmation: The Osmo 360 was identified in FCC filings, with confidentiality on its documentation expiring on April 16, 2025. These publicly available documents confirmed the product name and revealed early design elements and feature details.
Packaging Leaks: Retail packaging images that surfaced earlier hinted at notable specs, including:
Sensor Details: Packaging references a “1-inch 360 imaging” system. However, a footnote clarifies this refers to an effective sensor area equivalent to a 1-inch sensor, prompting discussion on whether DJI is using non-traditional sensor dimensions or image processing techniques to achieve large-sensor performance.

DJI often releases products immediately or shortly after announcement. Packaging leaks in Australian stores suggest distribution has already begun. Based on observed pricing (AU$759), the Osmo 360 is expected to launch globally in the $500–$550 USD range, placing it in direct competition with current and upcoming 360 cameras.
More details will be available following the official announcement on July 31.
