The focus on green energy technologies is driving progress in sustainable mobility, innovative ecosystems, and future-oriented industrial partnerships. This was vividly demonstrated at the second India-EU workshop on EV charging technologies, conducted March 15-17 at Italy’s Joint Research Centre in Ispra.

Co-hosted by the Office of India’s Principal Scientific Adviser (OPSA) and the EU’s DG RTD, the event featured key players like JRC, ARAI, and the EU Delegation in India. Diverse stakeholders—including regulators, engineers, standardization experts, researchers, and business leaders—engaged in dialogues to shape a unified EV charging infrastructure.

The agenda included technical deep dives into policy evolutions, industry strategies, high-power megawatt chargers, vehicle-to-grid tech, bidirectional systems, and wireless charging innovations. Hands-on lab tours at JRC showcased cutting-edge EV and smart grid testing setups.

OPSA’s scientific advisor highlighted how such bilateral efforts are essential for trustworthy, compatible charging networks that support clean mobility shifts. EU representatives, such as DG RTD’s Nienke Buisman and JRC’s Dr. Christian Thiel, reinforced the call for stronger collaboration across R&D, standards, and validation to accelerate connected mobility transitions.

As both regions align on these fronts, the workshop lays groundwork for interoperable systems that could redefine electric mobility worldwide, blending India’s market scale with Europe’s technological prowess.

Regarding battery and charging technology, the company announced via a Weibo post that the iQOO 15 will include wireless charging support. It will also integrate a new seven-cell “Blue Ocean” battery design, coupled with Global Direct Drive Power Supply 2.0 technology. This combination is designed to extend the duration of gaming sessions, video playback, and navigation, thereby improving battery life. While the iQOO 13 offered a 6,000mAh battery and 120W fast charging, it lacked wireless charging functionality.

According to leaked reports, the iQOO 15 will feature a 6.85-inch Samsung display, with a 2K resolution (3168×1440 pixels) and a 144Hz refresh rate. Leaks also suggest that the smartphone will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor and iQOO’s Q3 chip, engineered to enhance performance and gaming experiences.

In terms of the camera setup, the iQOO 15 is expected to include a 50MP primary sensor, sized at 1/1.5-inch. It may also feature a 50MP periscope telephoto lens. This setup is designed to improve low-light photography and zoom quality.

Based on information from tipster Chaitanya (@ChaitanyaOnTech), the iQOO 15 is estimated to be priced between 60,000 and 65,000 rupees in India. This pricing would be approximately 5,000 rupees higher than the launch price of the iQOO 13 (12GB RAM + 256GB storage), which was priced at 54,999 rupees. The iQOO 13 was launched in Legend and Nardo Grey color options, with information about new color variants for the iQOO 15 expected soon.

With the new update, this limit will be removed, and the iPhone 16 series will be able to charge at 25W speeds with any Qi 2.2 charger.

Rumors and leaks suggest the new series will include the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 XL, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Although the design might not see significant alterations, it is likely to resemble the previous models.

The most notable upgrade is anticipated in the camera capabilities. The base model Pixel 10 is slated to feature a triple camera setup, incorporating a telephoto lens that was previously exclusive to the Pro models. However, reports indicate that the primary sensor will be slightly smaller than that of the Pixel 9, potentially impacting performance in low-light conditions. The Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL are expected to retain the same camera system as previous Pro models.

Google is also introducing several new AI tools, including Speak-to-Tweak (voice-activated photo editing), Sketch-to-Image (generating photos from drawings), and a new Pixel Sense virtual assistant. Additionally, a Camera Coach feature will be incorporated, providing suggestions on angles and lighting while taking photos.

The Pixel 10 series will utilize the new Tensor G5 chipset, manufactured by TSMC on a 3nm process instead of Samsung. This is expected to enhance both performance and heat management.

According to reports, the phones might be slightly larger and heavier due to a larger battery and new Qi2 magnetic wireless charging support, a feature not previously available in the Pixel series.

The upcoming Pixel 10 Pro Fold is set to be the world’s first dust-resistant (IP68) foldable phone, preventing dust from entering the device.

Color variants will also see some changes. The Pixel 10 will be available in Indigo, Frost, and Limoncello, while the Pro models will offer Porcelain, Jade, and Moonstone shades. Overall, the Pixel 10 series focuses on camera improvements, AI features, battery life, and wireless charging. The August 20th launch is highly anticipated by tech enthusiasts.

Rumors suggest the OnePlus Open 2 will feature the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, a 2K+ resolution foldable screen, and a 50MP triple camera setup. The phone may also incorporate 3-stage wireless charging and a design with a narrower frame and thinner, lighter build using materials like plain leather and glass. These details are speculative and not officially confirmed by OnePlus.

Rumored specifications for the OnePlus Open 2 include a Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, a 2K+ resolution foldable screen, and a 50MP triple camera setup featuring a circular periscope telephoto lens. Other potential features encompass 3-stage wireless charging and a design with a narrower frame, potentially incorporating plain leather and glass materials. It’s crucial to remember that these specifications are speculative and subject to change before the official release.
