  • Here’s a detailed look at the top tech news this week.

There wasn’t much that happened this week in tech but it was more of a build up on upcoming products. We got to know about a cheaper Galaxy Z Flip/Fold that might be in the works. Details on upcoming phones such as the OnePlus 12 and Honor 90 were leaked. We also came across new information on the iPhone 15 series and its colour options. There was one major launch event in India this week, and it was the Redmi 11 series. 

Let’s take a closer look at each of these updates one by one. 

Galaxy Z Flip/Fold FE

Samsung could launch a cheaper foldable that will be a lighter version of either the Flip or Fold. The ‘Galaxy Z FE’ will be a lighter version of the flagship foldables in terms of specifications, features and design. But it’s still expected to offer a flagship-like experience. The launch, however, is said to take place only after next year’s foldables so we still have a lot of time before we see the Galaxy Z FE.

Honor 90 India price, launch timeline tipped

Honor is making a comeback in the Indian smartphone business under the leadership of Madhav Sheth. The first phone under this relaunch is expected to be the Honor 90 that has already made its debut in China. In India, the Honor 90 will reportedly cost around Rs 35,000, and its launch is tipped to take place around mid-September. 

New iPhone 15 Pro colours

The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are tipped to come in a titanium finish as opposed to the stainless steel. The Pro models are said to feature slimmer bezels. With a new titanium body, Apple is also planning to introduce new colours of Titan Gray, and dark blue. With these, Apple will also replace gold and purple colours. The new dark blue is also said to be the special colour of the year.
