Week 31: vivo S2 specifications and Galaxy S27 Pro, Ultra battery leaks

The Story in Brief

July is now over and done, so here is a recap of its final week. Leaks revealed full specifications for the vivo S2 ahead of an expected India launch on 6 August: a 6.83‑inch 1.5K 120Hz curved AMOLED display, MediaTek Dimensity 7360 chipset, a 50MP Sony IMX852 main camera with a 2MP secondary sensor and a 32MP selfie camera. The phone is said to carry a 7,050mAh battery with 44W charging and IP68/IP69 resistance. The 8/128GB model is tipped to cost between INR 40,000 and INR 45,000 while a listed box price is INR 66,999, with availability expected from 6 August in India.

Other reports covered the new vivo X300 E in China with Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, a 6.59‑inch 144Hz OLED and Zeiss‑backed triple cameras including a 50MP main and a 50MP periscope plus a 50MP selfie camera and a 7,200mAh battery with 90W charging for CNY 5,099. Separately, a OnePlus 16 leak suggests an October launch and rumours point to a 6.78‑inch flat display, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro, a 9,000mAh battery and a 200MP camera. Samsung leaks tip the Galaxy S27 Pro/Ultra for larger 5,200mAh and 5,700mAh batteries using silicon‑carbon tech, and a Galaxy S26 FE certification shows 45W wired charging. MediaTek is reported to rename its flagship family to Dimensity 9600s/Pro/Pro Max with a September debut. Google is expected to unveil the Pixel 11 series on 12 August, with leaks suggesting 256GB as the new base storage, lower UK prices for some models and a Pixel Glow camera‑bar light teaser; pre‑orders are set to begin on 12 August.

The Indian Opinion

The reporting in this roundup relies heavily on leaks, regulatory listings and manufacturer teasers rather than confirmed announcements. An ordinary reader should note that specification and price figures are provisional: the vivo S2 shows both a tipped retail range and a much higher listed box price, and country‑specific pricing for the Pixel 11 leak applies to the UK. Battery capacities and new chip naming are plausible but unverified until brands announce them.

Readers may find dramatic claims-such as very large batteries or “Apple‑like” naming-sensational without official confirmation. It is reasonable to treat these items as early indicators of direction rather than final facts, and to wait for the scheduled launches or official statements before drawing firm conclusions.
