Vivo X100 – New OriginOS 6 Software Update

As per the details shared online, the latest software update for the Vivo X100 smartphone carries the firmware version of ‘PD2309F_EX_A_16.2.15.2.W30’ and has a downloadable package size of 345MB. It is based on the Android 16 operating system, and its rollout has started for Indian users.

Speaking about the changes, the new OriginOS 6 update brings the July 2026 Google security patch to the Vivo X100 for improving the system security of the device. The power-saving strategy has also been optimised, and this is pointed out to improve its battery life.

For gamers, the performance of third-party games has been optimised to offer an enhanced gaming experience. Furthermore, the compatibility of third-party applications has also been improved, thereby fixing the occasional issue which caused certain apps to not work properly.

Installing this software update will not delete or modify the user data stored on the device, however, it would be better to create a backup before proceeding with the installation. During the upgrade process, additional power may be consumed and the device temperature could also increase temporarily, because of which Vivo advises to keep the smartphone connected to a charger. The temperature is said to return to normal shortly after the upgrade is completed.

The downloaded installation package will also be automatically deleted after the update has been installed. As the software update is likely being rolled out in a phased manner, probably it could take some time to reach all Vivo X100 users in the country. Stay tuned for more updates!

Motorola Signature and Edge 60 Pro – Android 17 Beta Updates

Firstly, speaking about the Motorola Signature, a Reddit user has shared that the smartphone has received its second Android 17 beta update with a downloadable package size of 3.40GB. The user further pointed out that the ending build number has changed from ‘13’ to ‘21.7’ with the latest beta update.

Looking into the changes, a few bugs from the previous beta build are said to have been fixed, however, certain known issues still remain. The anticipated multitasking bubbles feature, which the user considers to be one of Android 17’s most important additions, is still not available on the device.

Some user interface-related changes have also been noticed following the update. The status icons for the two SIM cards are now positioned side by side instead of being stacked vertically as before. Furthermore, the user pointed out that the Extra Dim feature can now make the display significantly darker when its intensity slider is set to the maximum level. It must be noted that these are observations shared by the beta tester and not an official changelog from Motorola.

On the other hand, the Motorola Edge 60 Pro has reportedly started receiving its first Android 17 beta update in Brazil. As per a screengrab shared on X, the beta update has a downloadable package size of 4.91GB. The user who shared the update has not mentioned the changes or new features that are included within this beta build.

As the Android 17 beta update has now started reaching Edge 60 Pro users in Brazil, probably Motorola could soon be expanding it to eligible beta testers in other regions, including India. However, an exact timeline regarding its availability for Indian users has not yet been revealed. Stay tuned for more updates!

The above videos point out that the HyperOS 4 will arrive with a Liquid Glass-style design with translucent interface elements, softer blur effects and a refreshed overhaul appearance. Redesigned 2.5D app icons, animated widgets on the home screen, stacked weather and calendar widgets, bolder and cleaner-looking status bar icons and a shorter gesture navigation bar are also showcased in the UI.

Though these leaks are from internal testing, there is a chance that the brand may make some changes in the final version. But the leaks did suggest the Chinese manufacturer is considering options for a design overhaul in the upcoming custom skin, which means Xiaomi fans might get to see something different than the usual visual refresh.

You can check out the list of devices that are expected to get the HyperOS 4 upgrade at this link. Meanwhile, let’s wait to hear an official announcement from Xiaomi regarding the HyperOS 4.

According to the details shared by tipster Tarun Vats, Samsung has started testing One UI Watch 9 for the Galaxy Watch 7, Galaxy Watch 6 and Galaxy Watch 5, as he spotted two new builds on Samsung’s test servers, carrying the firmware versions ‘L300XXU2CZG4/L300OXM2CZG4/’, ‘R930XXU2DZG4/R930OXM2DZG4’ and ‘R900XXU2EZG4/R900OXM2EZG4’ for the Galaxy Watch 7, Galaxy Watch 6 and Galaxy Watch 5, respectively.

One UI Watch 9 – Galaxy Watch 7

The appearance of these test builds suggests that Samsung has started testing the latest One UI Watch version for both smartwatches internally, hinting that the beta update may not be too far away.

However, the One UI Watch 9 beta for the Galaxy Watch 6 and Galaxy Watch 5 could arrive sometime around September or October. This is because several flagship Galaxy smartphones are still waiting to receive their One UI 9 beta updates, and previous rumours have suggested that their beta rollout could take place around the same period.

For now, this is just an expected timeline, and Samsung may release the beta update early as well. Whatever the case may be, more details are likely to emerge as the internal testing progresses.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra – New One UI 8.5 Test Build Spotted

According to tipster Tarun Vats, Samsung has moved from the earlier ‘S4AZG5’ firmware to a newer ‘U4AZG7’ test build for the Galaxy S26 Ultra.

The appearance of the new S948BXXU4AZG7 firmware indicates that Samsung is preparing another update for its Galaxy S26 Ultra smartphone. As per the tipster, this could arrive with the August 2026 Android security patch, along with bug fixes, performance optimisations, and stability improvements.

While this is not confirmed, the upcoming update could also possibly include a fix for the red-tint issue recently reported by several Galaxy S26 Ultra users. The issue causes a reddish patch or tint to appear around the centre of the smartphone’s display.

Samsung later reportedly clarified that the issue is related to software-based colour optimisation and is not caused by OLED burn-in or a hardware defect. The company is already working on a software update to address it, although it has not revealed exactly which firmware will include the fix. Therefore, it is currently not sure whether the newly spotted ‘S948BXXU4AZG7’ build is associated with it.

In other news, Samsung is scheduled to host its next Galaxy Unpacked event on July 22nd, 2026, at 6:30 PM IST, where it is expected to unveil its next-generation foldable smartphones, including devices under the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Flip 8 lineups, alongside new wearables and other ecosystem products.
