OPPO is reportedly preparing to launch its Find X10 series in China this September, with the Find X10 Pro Max expected to feature an unprecedented three 200MP rear cameras.

• The device is expected to be powered by MediaTek’s 2nm Dimensity 9600 series chip and feature an 8,000 mAh battery with 100W wired charging.
• Global markets, including Kenya, are anticipated to see the Find X10 series launch by late October, following the pattern of the previous Find X9 release.

Apple is reportedly set to launch its first foldable iPhone, rumored to be the iPhone Ultra, with a price exceeding KES 300,000, but it will lack Face ID.

• The device will feature a side-mounted Touch ID fingerprint reader instead of Face ID due to the thinness of the foldable screen.
• Apple has historically promoted Face ID as more secure and convenient than fingerprint technology.
• This biometric compromise is seen as a significant drawback for a device branded "Ultra" and priced so high, especially when newer iPhones might feature under-display Face ID.
