The newly released teaser images reveal that the OnePlus N6x adopts a noticeably different design compared to the recently launched OnePlus N6. OnePlus is promoting the handset with the tagline “Beyond what you x-pect.”
The smartphone features a flat-frame design with sharp, right-angled edges and a flat rear panel, giving it a cleaner and more premium-inspired appearance.
One of the biggest changes is the pill-shaped vertical rear camera module, positioned in the top-left corner of the back panel. This marks a clear departure from the square-shaped camera island seen on the OnePlus N6. The LED flash is placed outside the camera module further differentiating the design.
The teasers also show the phone in two colour options, a light blue finish named Ice Blue and a Burgundy Red variant.
Another feature confirmed through the teaser is the 3.5mm headphone jack, which has been retained from the OnePlus N6. While many smartphone brands have dropped the feature, its inclusion is likely to appeal to users looking for a practical and budget-friendly smartphone.
OnePlus N6x – What Else We Know?
The OnePlus N-series is designed to make the brand’s smartphones more accessible, offering a balance of everyday performance and affordability. Unlike the Nord lineup, the N-series focuses on delivering essential features at a lower price point.
With the redesigned camera module, flat sides, and updated styling, the OnePlus N6x is set to establish a distinct identity separate from the OnePlus N6.

According to the latest post on X by tipster Abhishek Yadav, the Vivo S2 is expected to launch in India on August 6, while its first sale could begin on August 11.

The same camera layout was previously hinted at in a leaked teaser poster, where the pill-shaped module was subtly hidden inside the word “Soon.” The Vivo S2 is shown with a 3D curved display with Vivo reportedly highlighting its “flagship-level design” and camera module as major attractions. The rear camera island houses two large circular camera rings along with a smaller circular cutout, which is likely meant for the LED flash.
Vivo branding is positioned vertically towards the lower-left side of the back panel, giving the rear a clean look.
Another notable design element is that the camera module matches the colour of the back panel on all three variants instead of using a contrasting black finish, a design approach increasingly seen on premium smartphones.
The promotional images also confirm that the handset will feature a 50-megapixel primary rear camera.
Vivo S2 – MediaTek Dimensity 7360 Chipset (Confirmed)
Previous reports have claimed that the smartphone will feature a 6.59-inch OLED display, a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera, and a 7,000mAh battery.

With its expected launch just around the corner, Vivo is likely to begin officially teasing the Vivo S2 in the coming days, with more details expected to be revealed before the August 6 launch.

iQOO Neo 11S – Other Expected Specifications
As per the tipster, the iQOO Neo 11S will feature a flat OLED display with 2K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. Although the latest leak does not reveal the processor, previous reports suggest that the smartphone will be powered by an underclocked version of the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset.
The device is also expected to pack a battery of around 8,000mAh, a claim that Digital Chat Station had shared earlier. Other rumoured features include 100W fast charging, an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner, and an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.
The leak does not mention the camera specifications. However, since the Neo 11S is expected to be a minor upgrade over the existing iQOO Neo 11, it may retain the same camera setup. If that happens, the smartphone could feature a 16-megapixel front camera, along with a dual rear camera system comprising a 50-megapixel primary sensor and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera.
More iQOO Smartphones Expected
Following the launch of the iQOO Neo 11S, the company is expected to turn its attention to its next-generation flagship lineup. Reports suggest that the iQOO 16 series could make its debut in September or early October and it may be accompanied by the iQOO Neo 12.
