Android Circuit: Pixel 10 Pro Leak, Oppo Find X8 Ultra Specs, and Samsung Galaxy S26 Plans
As we take a look back at the last week’s events in the Android world, several significant stories have emerged. From leaks about upcoming devices to major changes within the ecosystem.
Firstly, Google’s Pixel series has been the subject of intense speculation recently, with rumors surrounding the release date and specifications of its next generation devices. However, new CAD files have revealed a crucial piece of information – the design of the upcoming Pixel 10 Pro. According to these files, the phone will be maintaining its smaller form factor while still offering top-of-the-line specs.
This move is significant as many were concerned that Google would stray from this successful formula and opt for larger screens or more dramatic changes. Instead, it appears that the company is doubling down on what works. The leak also suggests that the smaller design will not come at the expense of performance, which could be a major selling point for fans of the series.
On the opposite side of the spectrum, Oppo has confirmed the specifications of its upcoming Find X8 Ultra device. This flagship offering boasts a range of impressive features, including a 2K resolution display, ultrasonic fingerprint reader, and multiple camera options. The phone’s rear will also sport two periscope telephoto cameras, both with optical zoom capabilities – one offering 3x magnification and the other 6x. Furthermore, it has been confirmed that the device will come in a unique fake leather finish.
The Samsung Galaxy S26 series is another story altogether, as rumors have begun to swirl around its potential release date and features. While no concrete information has been made available, fans of the brand are eagerly awaiting any details about what may be coming their way.
In other news, Google’s Chrome browser has faced a significant threat, with the US Department of Justice considering forcing it to divest itself of the popular program. This move is part of a broader effort to address concerns surrounding Google’s market dominance in search and AI. While this proposal is still pending, its potential implications are far-reaching.
Additionally, we’ve witnessed a major shift in the gaming landscape as Niantic, the developer behind Pokémon Go, has been sold for $3.5 billion to Saudi-owned Scopley. This sale represents a significant change in the company’s trajectory and raises questions about what this could mean for fans of the popular game.
Lastly, but certainly not least, Genshin Impact players have been treated to some exciting news – official Android controller support by the end of March. While this may seem like a small update, it has the potential to open up new avenues for how we interact with our devices and could be an important step forward in mobile gaming.
As always, I’d love to hear from you regarding any future coverage you’d like to see covered in Android Circuit.
