Bang & Olufsen! What about updates? Motorola is promising seven years of OS updates!

That’s a long time for a phone to be supported. So if you want a tough, flaggable device with great photography capabilities, it could be a good choice.

Oppo is launching the Reno 17 in China this month. The base model will feature Snapdragon 7 Gen 4. But the Pro model will run a Dimensity 8550.

The Oppo Reno 17 Pro will also pack a 7000mAh battery. Honor will release the 700 series in China. The battery is a mammoth 9000mAh.

It also has a 200MP main camera. The standard Honor 700 will have the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4. While the Pro will have the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5.

Vivo is releasing two very different series this month in China. The Vivo S70 will run Snapdragon 8s Gen 4. It will have a 6.59″ 1.5K LTPS OLED display.

And the camera? A 64MP Sony LYT-610 periscope! Vivo’s X500 series is coming to India by the end of November.

It will be available across the X500 series. They all will have ZEISS tuned cameras. And the king? The Pro Max will have a 200MP periscope camera.

We’ve been following closely. For example, check out Vivo S70 leak suggests detachable telephoto. So what do we see for Nov 2026?

Definitely larger batteries and higher megapixel zoom lenses. Across all four brands. This means big improvements in imaging and battery management for the consumer.
