Vivo has released the X500 Pro Max, a new flagship that borrows several features from its X300 Ultra, including the same periscope telephoto camera, a 1440p 144Hz OLED display, 90W wired and 40W wireless charging, and a 7,800mAh battery. It runs a MediaTek Dimensity 9600 Pro chip rather than the latest Snapdragon, and is priced at roughly €1,799 ($2,000).
Leakers Smart Pikachu and Abhishek Yadav report that OPPO's upcoming Find X10 Ultra flagship, codenamed 'xinyun,' may run on MediaTek's Dimensity 9600 Pro chip instead of a Snapdragon processor. This would mark a shift from the Find X9 Ultra, launched earlier this year with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, though the recent Find X10 Pro Max already uses the same Dimensity 9600 Pro chip. The Find X10 Ultra is also expected to carry a 200MP main camera with LOFIC technology.
Vivo has expanded global availability of its X500 series, about a month after launching the lineup in China. The range includes the base X500, the X500 Pro, and the flagship X500 Pro Max, all running OriginOS 7 on Android 17 with 90W wired and wireless charging, 50MP selfie cameras, and IP68/69 ratings. The two Pro models add Dimensity 9600 Pro chips and 4K/240fps slow-motion video, while the standard X500 uses a Dimensity 9600M chip, a 7,500mAh battery, and a triple rear camera setup.
Oppo has released the Find X10 Pro Max, a new flagship Android phone featuring Hasselblad-branded cameras, a detachable telephoto zoom lens and MediaTek's Dimensity 9600 Pro chip. It starts at £1,499 (about $2,010) in the UK, matching the price of the Find X9 Ultra released only around six months earlier, and ships with a free accessory choice of either the telephoto lens or an Oppo smartwatch.
According to a Dealabs report, OPPO's upcoming Find X10 and Find X10 Pro Max will launch in Europe at €1,499 and €1,799 respectively, with the devices expected on October 21. That marks a roughly €500 jump from last year's Find X9 at the same 12GB/512GB tier, and the European models reportedly get smaller 7,150mAh batteries and no 16GB RAM option compared to their Chinese counterparts.
OPPO has launched the Find X10 Pro Max in China, becoming the first smartphone to pack three separate 200MP camera sensors—a main, ultrawide, and periscope telephoto lens, all with Hasselblad tuning. The phone runs on MediaTek's new Dimensity 9600 Pro chip and houses an 8,000mAh silicon-carbon battery with 80W wired and 50W wireless charging. Pre-orders are open in China now, with a global release planned later in 2026.
Oppo unveiled its Find X10 Pro Max flagship in China, the first phone to pack 200-megapixel sensors across all three rear cameras. The main sensor uses Oppo's new 'DeepPix' technology for a claimed 17-stop dynamic range, while a base Find X10 model ships with a lower-resolution 50MP ultrawide camera. Both phones run MediaTek's new Dimensity 9600 chips and include 8,000mAh batteries and IP69 ratings.
Vivo has launched its X500 series in China, led by the new X500 Pro Max flagship, which uses Sony's Lytia L910 sensor with LOFIC technology to claim 17 stops of dynamic range. The Pro and Pro Max models also debut MediaTek's Dimensity 9600 Pro chip, enabling 4K 240fps slow-motion capture, 10-bit Log recording, and new cinematic styles, while the base X500 uses the 9600M variant.
MediaTek unveiled the Dimensity 9600 Pro, built on TSMC's 2nm process, alongside the 3nm Dimensity 9600M for a broader range of premium phones. The Pro chip features a dedicated neural processing unit for on-device generative AI and boosts prompt processing speed by 51% over its predecessor. MediaTek did not name partner manufacturers or give launch dates for devices using the chips.
MediaTek unveiled the Dimensity 9600 Pro, its new flagship smartphone processor, as the first chip manufactured using TSMC's 2-nanometer N2P process, beating Qualcomm to the milestone. The chip promises significant gains including a 61 percent drop in multi-core power draw, a 17 percent single-core speed boost, and improved gaming and AI performance through a new dual-NPU architecture.
MediaTek has launched the Dimensity 9600 Pro, a flagship mobile processor supporting Triple-SIM Triple Active connectivity, 4K/240fps slow-motion video capture, and VVC video encoding. The chip targets premium Android devices and aims to outperform rival silicon in both performance and camera capability.
MediaTek announced its Dimensity 9600 Pro and 9600M mobile processors, both built to handle demanding gaming and on-device AI tasks. The Pro variant is MediaTek's first chip built on TSMC's 2-nanometer process, promising better efficiency and performance than last year's Dimensity 9500, while the 9600M offers similar AI and gaming capabilities as a more affordable option. Both chips can reportedly sustain console-quality gaming at 185 frames per second.
