Xiaomi 16 Ultra Full Specs Revealed: Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, 200MP Camera, 120W Charging I still remember the buzz around the Xiaomi 15 Ultra when it dropped earlier this year — sleek design, killer camera setup, and a price tag that made people stop and think. But it also came with a few trade-offs that hardcore fans didn’t overlook. Now, with Xiaomi officially teasing the 16 Ultra, anticipation is back in full swing, and expectations are running higher than ever. This article breaks down what to expect from the Xiaomi 16 Ultra - from design changes and camera upgrades to processor power and likely launch date - so you can decide if this flagship is worth the hype. Xiaomi 16 Ultra Teased by Company Executive Xiaomi’s President and Partner, Lu Weibing, recently confirmed that the Xiaomi 16 Ultra is in the pipeline and will be launched by the end of 2025.

Samsung Unpacked 2025: Fold 7, Flip 7, XR headset what to expect
Last summer, I remember attending Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked 2024 in Seoul - a packed auditorium buzzing with foldable fans, creators livestreaming the moment, and an unmistakable air of competition.
One thing stuck with me from that day: how Indian Android fans kept asking, "Will this finally bring something better than Apple’s AI features?" That question is even more relevant now as Samsung prepares for Galaxy Unpacked 2025.
The event is locked for July 9, live from Brooklyn, New York. Samsung has officially confirmed that this year’s event will highlight "the best of Galaxy AI and Samsung craftsmanship."
Here’s what tech enthusiasts and Indian Android fans need to know ahead of the big day.

The event is locked for July 9, live from Brooklyn, New York. Samsung has officially confirmed that this year’s event will highlight "the best of Galaxy AI and Samsung craftsmanship."
Here’s what tech enthusiasts and Indian Android fans need to know ahead of the big day.
Galaxy Unpacked 2025: Date, Time, Where to Watch
Date: July 9, 2025
Time: 7:30 PM IST / 10 AM ET
Livestream: Samsung.com, Samsung Newsroom, YouTube
As usual, Samsung will stream the event live globally. Indian fans can easily catch it online - just as with past Galaxy launches that drew large local viewership.
What to Expect: Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 with AI-powered upgrades
Core reveals this time will center on Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7. Samsung insiders suggest both devices will bring thinner, sleeker designs along with enhanced durability.
Most notably, Samsung is betting big on AI-powered features. After the surge in AI across devices this year, fans expect Samsung’s response to Google’s Gemini AI integration on Pixel 9 Pro and Apple Intelligence in iPhone 16.
Industry tipsters also mention a new Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE - a more affordable "Fan Edition" flip phone aimed at price-conscious markets like India.
Here’s what I’ve heard from my industry contacts:
"The Fold 7 will focus less on raw specs, more on delivering smoother multitasking with Samsung AI baked in. AI summarization, AI image editing, and productivity tools are a lock," said a veteran Samsung India distributor who didn’t wish to be named.
Galaxy Watch 8 Series and Possible XR Headset Teaser
Beyond phones, Samsung is also expected to debut its Galaxy Watch 8 series - including a rumored rugged Galaxy Watch Ultra 2025 aimed at sports and adventure users.
Another big wildcard: a teaser for Samsung’s first XR headset (code-named Project Moohan).
This would mark Samsung’s direct response to Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest 3 - a significant shift in market positioning if confirmed.
For India, where foldable adoption is still growing, pricing will be key. AI features that work well with Samsung’s regional language support could also give the Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 a clear edge in markets like India where local-language AI assistants are in demand.
Samsung is also under pressure from Chinese brands like OnePlus Open and Vivo X Fold which have quickly gained popularity among younger Indian tech buyers.
While official India pricing is yet to be confirmed, here’s what’s being speculated in the market:
Galaxy Z Fold 7: Expected to start at ₹1,45,000 in India
Galaxy Z Flip 7: Expected ₹95,000 and up
Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE: Could debut at under ₹70,000 - very competitive against Motorola Razr 50 Ultra and OnePlus Open Lite
Global pricing is likely to stay similar to last year’s, with AI-featured editions possibly carrying a premium.
Galaxy Z Fold 7
Snapdragon 8 Gen 4
7.6-inch main AMOLED 120Hz display
6.2-inch cover display
Galaxy AI suite: translation, summarization, image editing
Triple camera with improved night mode
Galaxy Z Flip 7
Snapdragon 8 Gen 4
6.7-inch main display
Larger outer display
Enhanced battery life
Galaxy AI support
Past trends suggest Samsung will offer early-bird trade-in bonuses and pre-order bundles - likely including Galaxy Buds or Watch discounts in India.
For Indian buyers, Samsung’s push toward offline experience zones in top cities could boost walk-in sales.
Retailers expect initial demand to outstrip supply on the Flip 7 FE - especially in key metro markets.
Market Context: How Samsung Is Positioning Against Rivals
The foldables race is heating up. Apple has so far stayed out of the category. Google Pixel Fold 2 is still months away. Meanwhile, OnePlus Open 2 and Vivo X Fold 3 Pro are winning share in China and India.
For Samsung, this launch is about maintaining leadership in foldables, while closing the AI experience gap with Apple’s and Google’s new models.
Samsung’s 2025 strategy looks clear: leverage Galaxy AI as the differentiator across devices - phones, wearables, and XR.
"There’s a strong push inside Samsung to bring AI into everyday Indian phone experiences. Expect announcements around Hindi and regional language support," said a Bengaluru-based telecom analyst familiar with Samsung’s India plans.
Retailers I’ve spoken to are optimistic:
"We saw good interest in Fold 5 last year, but many buyers waited for lower-priced foldables. The rumored Flip 7 FE could unlock a whole new segment," a Mumbai retailer told me this week.
