It turns out that Samsung has silently unveiled the Galaxy A37 and A57 in Thailand, with the pricing is the first thing that makes you stop scrolling.
The Galaxy A57 5G and Galaxy A37 5G are now official in Thailand, via droidsans. The two phones look like typical yearly upgrades to the A series. In reality, the price tags feel surprisingly aggressive for what Samsung is putting on the table.
The Galaxy A37 5G starts at 13,999 baht, while the more powerful Galaxy A57 5G begins at 16,999 baht for the online exclusive configuration.
This unofficial launch is currently Thailand-specific, but it gives the rest of the market a pretty good preview of what Samsung fans in other regions may see soon.
The Galaxy A57 5G in particular appears slimmer and lighter than its predecessor. The smartphone arrives in Violet, Dark Blue, and Gray. Meanwhile, the Galaxy A37 5G keeps things simple with Light Violet, Dark Green, and Grey.
Samsung is leaning into one feature with a line that is oddly catchy: “Wide everywhere except the face.” That slogan refers to the Galaxy A57 5G’s ability to shoot 4K ultra wide video using its ultra wide camera.
The company says the Galaxy A57 5G runs on a faster upgraded chipset, which should help with gaming, multitasking, and camera processing. The thinner and lighter body suggests some internal reworking as well.
Samsung is running a launch promotion that effectively doubles the storage for buyers during the initial sales window. Customers who pay 17,999 baht for the 256GB variant will automatically receive the 512GB version instead.
The promotion runs from March 16 through April 5, 2026.
Galaxy A37 5G price in Thailand
The more affordable Galaxy A37 5G keeps things simple with one configuration:
8GB RAM + 256GB storage: 13,999 baht
Through the Samsung Finance+ program, buyers in Thailand can walk out with the Galaxy A57 5G with a down payment of up to 1,800 baht, while the Galaxy A37 5G starts with a down payment of up to 1,400 baht.
If Samsung carries this formula into global markets, the upcoming A series wave could get a lot more attention than usual.
Nvidia DLSS has so far mainly been used to improve the performance of games by scaling them to a higher resolution and even generating entire frames using artificial intelligence. DLSS 5 now goes a huge step further, giving games an AI-slop look that is said to be "groundbreaking".
Nvidia has officially shown off DLSS 5.0 at GTC 2026. It uses an entirely new neural rendering model to radically transform images. RTX 50 series GPU owners will be able to try it out this fall.
OnePlus has announced yet another magnetic accessory for the upcoming OnePlus 15T. This time it is an upgraded 50W wireless charger with a built-in cooling fan and a desktop stand for convenient viewing while charging.

Industry insiders have already predicted that Apple’s foldable iPhone will use a Samsung Display panel, with the Korean conglomerate building a dedicated production line specifically to meet Cupertino’s demand. According to earlier estimates, Samsung was looking to produce as many as 15 million units of its crease-less display, but a more recent report from South Korea suggests that number has now been increased to 20 million units.

In iQOO's Z11 series, the Z11 Turbo and Z11x are already official, and the brand is now getting ready to also unveil the vanilla Z11 model, which we saw in an official image last week.
Now, the iQOO Z11 has purportedly run Geekbench with the model number V2551A. It managed a single-core score of 1,717 and a multi-core score of 6,795 as you can see in the screenshot below.
This benchmark run has also revealed that the Z11 is powered by MediaTek's Dimensity 8500 SoC, paired with 16GB of RAM in this specific prototype - though we assume more options will be offered. The phone will...
Samsung has launched an interesting deal called “Galaxy Forever” in India that quietly turns Galaxy S26 buyers into future Galaxy S27 customers.
Samsung Galaxy S26 “Galaxy Forever” program in India looks like a generous financing deal on the surface. Pay 50 percent of the device price through a 12-month, zero-interest EMI plan. After a year, you decide what happens next:
Pay the rest and keep the phone.
Return it.
Upgrade to the next flagship using the guaranteed buyback value.
Spend a few minutes looking at the structure of the Galaxy S26 Forever offer, and something else becomes clear. This is not just financing. It is a pipeline that quietly points straight toward the next year’s Galaxy S27.
The Korean tech giant is effectively turning the purchase of a flagship into a subscription-like cycle. Instead of asking buyers to commit to a $1,299 smartphone outright, the company reduces the psychological barrier.
Half today, decide later, with the remaining value becomes a lever that nudges users toward the next upgrade.
From a consumer standpoint, the math feels comfortable. Twelve months of EMI with no interest. A guaranteed 50 percent residual value. Samsung Care+ is bundled for free. From Samsung’s perspective, the mechanics are far more interesting.
By guaranteeing roughly half the phone’s value after a year, Samsung controls the exit ramp. Once a customer reaches month twelve, two choices look logical:
pay the remaining balance to keep an aging phone
roll the buyback value into the next device
For most flagship buyers, the second option will feel smarter. Which means a large chunk of Galaxy S26 Forever customers are quietly being pre-qualified for the next year’s Galaxy S27 before that phone even exists.
That is why the Galaxy S26 Forever program deserves a closer look.
Reliance and Samsung C&T have just signed a $3 billion deal to make India the next green hydrogen superpower.
The press release calls it “one of the largest binding long-term Green Ammonia off-take agreements globally.”
The fact that Samsung surfaced quietly, signed a binding contract, and didn’t blink at a 2029 start date tells you the South Korean conglomerate sees this as strategic, not speculative.
Reliance has built its green ammonia strategy around a massive integrated energy hub in Jamnagar that will include manufacturing for electrolysers, batteries, and other clean-energy technologies.
Anant Ambani, Reliance’s executive director, said the company is committing to “indigenising the critical technologies of the energy transition” under a Make-in-India framework.
By 2032, Reliance intends to produce up to three million tonnes of green hydrogen, which is 60% of India’s 2030 national target.
The deal positions India as an emerging exporter of green fuels. India has never been in this conversation before, and now it is selling a product that doesn’t even exist yet to one of Asia’s industrial giants.
Samsung C&T runs a wide trading and investment arm focused on energy, metals, and chemicals. They could resell it, feed it into manufacturing chains, or just stockpile it.
Latest rumors have hinted at the battery capacities for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and the Galaxy Wide Fold. The flagship book-style fold could come with the largest battery of any Galaxy Z Fold phone to date.

Samsung launched One UI 8.5 with the Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra last month. Despite the fact that this version hasn't even made it to older Samsung devices yet, the Korean company is now already testing One UI 9, which is based on Android 17.

Samsung has partnered with the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) to bring famous modern artworks to people’s homes through the Samsung Art Store.This partnership makes SFMOMA the first museum from the West Coast of the United States to join the Samsung Art Store platform.
With this collaboration, Samsung TV users can display famous artworks from SFMOMA’s collection directly on their TV screens. These artworks allow people to turn their living rooms into small art galleries.
Some of the artworks now available include The Flower Carrier (1935) by Diego Rivera, Femme au chapeau (1905) by Henri Matisse, Display Cakes (1963) by Wayne Thiebaud, Guardians of the Secret (1943) by Jackson Pollock, and New York City 2 (1941) by Piet Mondrian.

Samsung Art Store is a subscription service where users can choose from thousands of artworks and show them on their TVs when they are not watching movies or shows. The service already includes more than 5,000 artworks from over 800 artists and works with many famous museums around the world.
Samsung’s Art TVs, including The Frame and The Frame Pro, are specially designed to display artwork realistically. These TVs have technology that shows accurate colors and clear details, so the artwork looks close to the original painting.
The Frame Pro model also offers a brighter and sharper Neo QLED 4K display. It comes with a wireless connection box that helps keep cables hidden, giving the room a clean and simple look. Through this partnership with SFMOMA, Samsung aims to make famous artworks easier for people around the world.
Samsung dropped a new video that’s very on purpose. Called “Meet expressive world of One UI 8.5 apps,” it’s a minute and thirty seconds of candy-colored cartoon creatures and non-stop motion with almost no dialogue, just sound effects and vibes.
Each Galaxy app now has a personality. They bounce, react, holler little affirmations like “yo” and “heat,” and they want you to know that One UI 8.5 is all about making your phone feel personal and expressive apps playing a vital role.
The app animation in the video isn’t just hype. App icons in One UI 8.5 now carry a 3D effect to make them appear slightly more prominent, which enhances the UI and improves legibility.

The company is also leaning into Good Lock harder than ever, which is Samsung’s way of saying “here are the tools, go build what you want.” Users can choose from multiple app icon effects from Good Lock.
The animated promo is also pushing Galaxy AI integration harder than previous campaigns.
The upgraded One UI 8.5 understands your usage patterns and needs, delivering a more personalized experience, and with advanced AI features like Now Nudge, you can easily access shortcuts to the next possible action.
The stable One UI 8.5 build ships with the Samsung Galaxy S26, S26 Plus, and S26 Ultra first, then rolls out to other Galaxy phones like the S25 series and the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7.
The Galaxy S26 series shipped with stable One UI 8.5, and the S25 lineup is still in beta in March, meaning people who actually bought last year’s flagship are still testing software.
Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold exits its Korean sales run this week, having spent three months doing what gimmicks do best: convincing people to care just long enough.
Starting March 18, the Galaxy Z TriFold will reportedly exit supply after the initial planned batch runs out, and Samsung apparently has no intention of making more for Korea.
Samsung created something rare, watched the feeding frenzy, got the headlines, and now it’s time to move on. Each small restock since the December 12 launch got torched in under five minutes.
Reports suggest that Samsung only ever made about 3,000 units for Korea. The device costs 3,590,400 won in South Korea, while $2,900 in the US.
Unopened units resurfaced on secondhand sites at between 4 million and 7 million won, which means some people paid nearly double retail just to own the device.
The TriFold was never meant to succeed as a product category. It was meant to remind the market who leads in foldables before Apple launches whatever foldable nightmare they’ve been cooking up later this year.
Samsung shifts focus to Galaxy S26 series
The Galaxy S26 series just launched globally across more than 120 countries, positioned as Samsung’s third-generation AI smartphone lineup.
The S26 Ultra got particular buzz for its Privacy Display tech, which narrows viewing angles at the pixel level to block peaking eyes. It’s not a perfect feature; Samsung itself warns users to stay cautious with sensitive info, but it’s novel enough.
Samsung has started testing its next big software update, One UI 9, and one of the noticeable changes spotted in the Media Player. Right now, the One UI 8.5 Beta Program is running on the Galaxy S25 series, Galaxy Z Fold 7, and Galaxy Z Flip 7, with a stable release expected soon. The first One UI 9 builds have already appeared in internal testing, which gives us a preview of what’s coming.
In One UI 8.5, the Media Player shows a simple wave that moves with the music. It is functional but plain. One UI 9, however, gives the wave a fresh new look, spotted via @tukzerotuk. We can say the Media Player in One UI 9 looks more colorful, smooth, and enjoyable to use.
The animation now shows bright Blue, Orange, and Yellow colors, which are easy to see and more visually appealing. The wave moves more smoothly, and the animation looks more defined and lively, making music playback feel fun and modern. This change seems small, but it makes a big difference for people who use their Galaxy phones to listen to music or podcasts.
One UI 8.5 and One UI 9 Media Player
Samsung may also add more updates to the Media Player in One UI 9, improving the interface and adding new features to make listening even better. While details are currently started emerging, it’s clear that Samsung is focusing on both performance and design with this update.
Samsung has reportedly begun internal testing for One UI 9. The company is expected to launch a Beta Program for select users in May 2026, allowing them to try the new features early. After testing, the stable version of One UI 9 stable will likely be released alongside the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 7. Stay tuned.

Samsung has been recognized as the world’s number one soundbar brand for 12 years in a row. This shows that people all over the world trust Samsung for high-quality home audio. Samsung is also a leader in the global TV market, with more than 20 years of experience.
As per the research from Future Source, Samsung earned 21.5% of global soundbar sales in 2025 and sold 19.7% of all soundbar units. Samsung has been the top soundbar brand since 2014, showing steady success in delivering great sound and value to customers.
Samsung’s soundbars are popular because they give clear and powerful sound. They also connect easily with Samsung TVs, which makes it simple for people to enjoy movies, music, and shows at home. Samsung gives homes a premium entertainment experience with smart design and advanced audio technology.
In 2026, Samsung will launch new soundbars and speakers. This includes the HW‑Q990H flagship soundbar, the HW‑QS90H all-in-one soundbar, and Music Studio 7 and Music Studio 5 Wi‑Fi speakers, designed by the Bouroullec studio. These products are made to give cinema-quality sound in different rooms.

With high-quality sound, easy TV connection, and smart design, Samsung continues to lead the home entertainment market. Hun Lee, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display (VD) Business at Samsung Electronics, said:
“At Samsung, we take special pride in our soundbar brand and see it as a way to bring premium sound experiences to homes everywhere. Being named the top soundbar brand in the world for the 12th consecutive year is not just a tremendous honor, but a testament to our commitment to premium home entertainment.”
Samsung is reportedly preparing to launch a new premium tablet, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S12+, later this year. Early leaks have already started revealing some important details about the Galaxy Tab S12+, giving us an idea of what to expect.
The battery capacity of the Galaxy Tab S12+ has been spotted online for the first time. The information by SamMobile reveals that the tablet will use batteries with model numbers EB-BX846AAE and EB-BX846AAY. Both versions are said to have a rated battery capacity of 10,392mAh.
However, Samsung usually advertises a higher typical capacity than the rated number. Because of this, the tablet could have a typical battery capacity of around 10,500mAh to 10,600mAh.
Image via Samsung
This information is not yet officially confirmed by Samsung. But if this information is correct, the Galaxy Tab S12+ will have a battery that is about 4 to 5 percent larger than the one used in previous models.
Aside from this, the tablet is also expected to keep the same display size as previous Plus models. It may feature a 12.4-inch OLED display with QHD+ resolution and support for a 120Hz refresh rate.
In terms of performance, the device could be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9500+ processor. It may come with at least 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, along with a microSD card slot for extra space. Samsung may launch the tablet in the third quarter of this year. Stay tuned for more information.
Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy A57 and Galaxy A37 5G have appeared in new promotional images. The leaked images give an early look at the design and some key features of these upcoming A-series phones.
According to the leaked promotional images shared by tipster Alfaturk, the Galaxy A57 and Galaxy A37 will come with a refreshed design. These phones are shown with Samsung’s Key-Island design, where the camera area slightly stands out from the back panel with a translucent camera bump. This gives the device a simple and clean look.
Moreover, the Galaxy A57 will reportedly feature a gradation pad and mirror printing finish on the back. These images also suggest that the Galaxy A57 will be quite slim and lightweight. The device is said to be 6.9mm thick and weigh 179 grams, making it comfortable to hold.

The images also hint at thinner bezels around the display to provide a more immersive viewing experience for users. The camera setup of Galaxy A57 includes a 50MP main camera, a 12MP ultra-wide camera, and a 5MP macro camera. The ultra-wide camera is said to offer a 123-degree field of view, which helps capture wider scenes. It may also support 0.6x zoom and 4K video recording.
Aside from this, these smartphones will come preinstalled with Android 16-based One UI 8.5. It brings new AI-powered features, a cleaner design, and better customization options for users.
In another tweet, the same tipster claimed that the Galaxy A57 could come with an enlarged vapor chamber. It helps improve cooling and keep the phone stable during gaming or heavy use.

Samsung is working on new wearable devices, and two of the most interesting upcoming products are the Samsung Galaxy Glasses and the Samsung Galaxy Watch 9. New information has revealed some early information about the battery capacity and features of these devices.
According to a report by SamMobile, Samsung’s first smart glasses, the Galaxy Glasses, could come with a 245mAh battery. The battery has the part number EB-BO200CAY. Since smart glasses need to be light and comfortable, the battery size is small but suitable for the device.
In addition to this, the information also reveals that the Galaxy Watch 9 will have a bigger battery compared to some previous models. The 44mm version of the watch is expected to include a 435mAh battery with the part number EB-BL355BAY. This capacity is the rated value, which means the marketed battery capacity could be slightly higher.

More About These Wearable Devices
Galaxy Glasses
Samsung Galaxy Glasses are expected to include several useful features. Reports suggest that the glasses may have a 12-megapixel camera placed at eye level, which will allow users to capture photos and videos from their own point of view.
The device could also include microphones and speakers. This would help users listen to audio, make calls, and use voice commands. The glasses may also have a touch control area on the frame, which alloes users to control features with simple taps or swipes.
Samsung is also working with eyewear brands Gentle Monster and Warby Parker to design stylish frames. The glasses are expected to run Android XR and use Gemini for AI features.
Galaxy Watch 9
Samsung Galaxy Watch 9 will likely come in two sizes -40mm and 44mm. It may run on the Samsung Exynos W1000 chip or an improved version. The watch is also expected to be available in Wi-Fi and LTE variants, which gives users more connectivity options.
These devices could launch later this year alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Flip 8 smartphones. Stay tuned for more information.
Samsung has started developing One UI 9.0, the next-generation software update based on Android 17, but the early insights of its development build are missing any interesting features.
The internal build was loaded on devices by the tech community. And you may have already seen these demonstrations from the One UI 9.0, which is identical to the One UI 8.5. It doesn’t contain any major changes to the user interface or the animations.
From what we’ve observed, the new build is currently focusing on optimizations; for example, the quick panel elements are getting reshaped. It has increased the height of the sliders (in default orientation), which looks pretty much bloated, and I would prefer the existing dimensions over the tweaked One UI 9.0 variant.
On the other hand, Samsung devs are rearranging some of the Settings menu items. That’s all that could be said and revealed about the initial One UI 9.0 build. To be fair, this build marks the start of the development process. Simply put, it will be polished, and more features will be added with new builds.
This new move appeared as Samsung is still testing One UI 8.5 for the Galaxy S25 series, and the stable version is yet to be released. Moreover, the phone maker is done with the S26 series launch, so it can test the next major One UI version on this new flagship.
One UI 8.5 is consdered is a major leap in the One UI ecosystem, and kicking off One UI 9.0 lab testing suggests that the company may have completed the One UI 8.5 development for eligible devices.
Author’s take
One UI 9.0 development cycle is on par with the One UI 8.0, released last year with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7, and expanded to the S25 series with an OTA update.
This year is likely to be the same. The phone maker will follow Google’s lead in Android 17 development and release the update first for the Z Fold 8 and Flip 8 at the next Unpacked, somewhere in the second half of this year.

This is mainly helpful if your phone sometimes has trouble recognizing your finger, ensuring a smoother unlocking experience.
To use Improve Accuracy, you need to scan the same finger that you used when registering the fingerprint. The system will ask you to scan your finger 10 times. Scanning multiple times helps your phone capture the fine details of your fingerprint to reduce errors and make biometric authentication more reliable.

Ahead of the expected March 30 launch, new details about the Vivo X300 Ultra has surfaced online. Vivo product manager Han Boxiao has shared details about the device’s video capabilities, highlighting improvements designed for both everyday recording and professional content creation.
Professional video recording receives a major upgrade
According to the executive, the upcoming Vivo X300 Ultra continues the evolution that started with the Vivo X200 Pro, whose video capabilities received strong feedback from users across different markets. The new model is said to focus heavily on professional recording, offering improvements in hardware processing, shooting controls and post-production flexibility.
One of the most notable additions is support for full focal length 4K 120fps 10bit Log recording. The previous generation delivered full focal length 4K 60fps Log video, but the X300 Ultra doubles the frame rate to 120fps. This improvement is expected to provide smoother footage and greater flexibility during editing. Importantly, all three rear cameras are said to support the same recording specifications, which removes limitations across focal lengths and ensures consistent output regardless of the lens used.

This year’s MWC was packed with announcements from all the big tech and hardware brands. As usual, the big-name devices received most of the attention. Foldables, concept devices, or the camera shootouts.
But every year, some of the most interesting things to come out of Barcelona end up buried under the noise. This year was no different. So here are ten announcements from MWC 2026 you may have missed.
Motorola × GrapheneOS
One of MWC’s most surprising announcements came from Motorola and GrapheneOS.
As you might know, GrapheneOS is the hardened, Google-free version of Android that has always run exclusively on Google Pixel phones. But this changed at MWC 2026.
Motorola Edge 70 Fusion
Motorola signed a long-term deal with the GrapheneOS Foundation to bring the OS to a future Motorola device. The first compatible hardware is expected to be based on the Signature, Razr Fold, or Razr Ultra lines, built around a future Qualcomm SPU, and is targeted for 2027.
But the deal goes beyond one device. Select GrapheneOS security features will roll out to existing Motorola phones, too. There is also a new “Private Image Data” tool in rollout that automatically strips location data and device metadata from every photo you take before it leaves your phone. Lenovo’s ThinkShield enterprise security stack ties the whole thing together.
Qualcomm Snapdragon X105
As always, Qualcomm had a busy MWC, and there were a lot of announcements from the chipmaker. One such is the new Snapdragon X105 modem designed for the upcoming wave of Android flagships.
The X105 is 15 percent smaller than its predecessor, 30 percent more power-efficient, and has baked-in support for agentic AI tasks. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS are bundled in the same package.
The headline feature, however, is satellite connectivity that now extends to emergency satellite video calls, not just text and voice. It can also predict RF conditions with the help of sensing software to try to maintain a stronger connection.
Lenovo AI Workmate
Lenovo brought a lot of concepts to Barcelona this year, but the AI Workmate might be one of the coolest among all.
It is a motorised desktop robot arm. It has sensors. It has a projector head. It points at your desk and displays interactive notifications, tools, and information directly onto the surface in front of you. It also has expressive animated eyes, which either sounds charming or unsettling, depending on your tolerance for personality in office hardware.
Lenovo also announced an AI Work Companion Concept to go along with the Workmate. Its a smart display and clock that syncs your tasks across devices and helps plan your day.
Lenovo has a decent track record of turning its MWC concepts into shipping products within a year or two. Here’s hoping that the AI Workmate shows up in a ThinkSmart lineup before 2028.
Starlink becomes “Starlink Mobile” and shows what V2 satellites actually mean
SpaceX gave a proper keynote at MWC this year, which is notable in itself. The headline out of it was the official rebrand of their direct-to-device service to “Starlink Mobile.”
The more interesting part was what they shared about the V2 constellation. The next generation of Starlink satellites targets up to 150 Mbit/s mobile data speeds using globally harmonised S-band spectrum. That is roughly a 100× improvement in data density over the current fleet.
Starlink Mobile already operates across 32 countries with 10 million monthly active users, and the company has set a target of 25 million users by the end of 2026.
Deutsche Telekom × Starlink
This one got a brief mention in a few places, but the full picture is worth spelling out.
Deutsche Telekom officially signed on at MWC as the first European carrier partner for Starlink’s V2 constellation.
The plan is to use satellite connectivity to plug the coverage gaps that tower infrastructure simply cannot solve. The service is targeting a 2028 launch in Germany. It is being designed so that existing Deutsche Telekom SIM cards work without any changes.
Vodafone × Amazon Kuiper
Amazon Kuiper is the counterpart of Starlink from Jeff Bezos, and it also made an announcement at MWC 2026.
It signed a partnership with Vodafone to use LEO satellites to deliver backhaul capacity to 4G and 5G base stations across Europe and Africa. With over 200 Kuiper satellites already in orbit, the network can already deliver up to 1 Gbps download and 400 Mbps upload to ground infrastructure.
Rollout begins in Germany and other European markets in 2026, before expanding through Vodafone’s Vodacom subsidiary across Africa. The goal is to replace the expensive and slow-to-build fibre runs that currently hold back rural coverage.
AMD Ryzen AI 400 desktop
AMD chose MWC — a mobile-focused event — to launch its Ryzen AI 400 and Ryzen AI PRO 400 desktop processors.
These are the world’s first desktop chips to meet Microsoft’s Copilot+ PC requirements, meaning they can run the full suite of on-device AI features that Microsoft has been building since 2024.
They are built on Zen 5 architecture with AMD XDNA 2 NPUs that deliver up to 60 TOPS of AI compute. Copilot+ demands 40 TOPS of AI compute. The top configurations go up to 8 cores, a 5.1GHz boost clock, and Radeon 860M integrated graphics.
Dell, HP, and Lenovo have all confirmed systems using these chips, expected in Q2 2026.
Oukitel WP61 + RG14-P
Oukitel is not a brand that gets much mainstream coverage, but their MWC lineup this year was genuinely remarkable, and the WP61 specifically is a first-of-its-kind device.
The WP61 is the world’s first smartphone to combine NTN two-way satellite connectivity, a thermal imaging camera, and a DMR digital walkie-talkie in a single chassis. The device is for emergency responders, construction teams, and field workers who currently carry multiple devices.
Alongside it, Oukitel announced RG14-P, a solar laptop powered by an Intel Core 7 150U processor, with a dual-battery system (3,000mAh internal plus a swappable 5,200mAh pack) and a 14.1-inch touchscreen. It is built for people who work where power outlets do not exist. The RT10 Pro industrial tablet, with a built-in projector and a 25,000mAh battery, rounds out the lineup.
AWS commits $33 billion to Spain: Europe’s AI infrastructure hub takes shape
Amazon’s Chief Global Affairs and Legal Affairs Officer, David Zapolsky, used MWC as the venue to announce that AWS is expanding its Spain infrastructure investment to $33 billion, an increase of $18 billion over a prior commitment.
The plans are specific and large. Amazon plans to build seven new solar facilities, a new manufacturing plant in Aragon that will serve as the hub for European server and server rack production.
GSMA × ESA
The final story is also the most forward-looking one.
At MWC, the GSMA and the European Space Agency jointly announced up to €100 million in new funding to accelerate convergence between space infrastructure and terrestrial mobile networks. The goal is to fund projects that combine LEO satellite capacity with 5G and 6G ground systems.
This kind of institutional backing makes satellite-mobile convergence happen on a faster timeline than the market would manage on its own. The immediate applications are emergency connectivity and rural coverage.

Xiaomi has launched the Mijia IH Rice Cooker 2, a smart rice cooker designed to cater to a wide range of household needs. The rice cooker is now available for pre-order in China, starting at 349 yuan (~$50).
Xiaomi Mijia IH Rice Cooker 2 Specifications
Xiaomi offers the new rice cooker in four capacity options: 2L, 3L, 4L, and 5L. The 2L model can cook approximately eight bowls of rice and is suitable for one to three people. The 3L model can prepare ten bowls, making it ideal for medium-sized families. The 4L and 5L models can cook 16 and 20 bowls of rice, respectively, and are better suited for larger households or gatherings.
The Mijia IH Rice Cooker 2 uses an IH (Induction Heating) system to heat the inner pot evenly from all sides. This system ensures consistent cooking by minimizing temperature differences, allowing each grain of rice to absorb water uniformly. Xiaomi claims this technology produces rice that is soft, glossy, and evenly textured.
The rice cooker comes with a fluorine-free ceramic-coated inner pot that improves safety and durability. Xiaomi uses a high-temperature sintering process to bond the ceramic layer tightly to the metal body. The pot features multiple layers, including a non-stick ceramic surface, a wear-resistant reinforcement layer, and a heat-conducting aluminum core. This design enhances heat retention and durability while simplifying post-cooking cleanup.
Xiaomi has equipped the rice cooker with eight cooking modes, including standard rice, porridge, soup, steamed dishes, reheated rice, and cake. The device also features a Perfect Cook temperature control system. This system uses nine cooking stages to automatically adjust heat and cooking time, optimizing the process from soaking to simmering.
The Mijia IH Rice Cooker 2 includes additional features, including a 24-hour timer, a 12-hour keep-warm function, and a top-mounted touch control panel with a display. Xiaomi has upgraded the foam breaker to prevent overflow during porridge or soup cooking. The detachable design makes it easier to clean.

The Red Magic Gaming Tablet 3 Pro, which debuted globally as the Red Magic Astra, is expected to receive a successor soon. The current model launched with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and a 165Hz OLED display, and both of these key specifications are now rumored to see significant upgrades in the upcoming version.
According to tipster Digital Chat Station, the Red Magic Gaming Tablet 5 Pro is expected to feature the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC. The new chip features a more powerful CPU and improved GPU performance, delivering roughly 10–15% better gaming performance and more stable average FPS during high-intensity scenes.
The tipster also claims that the new tablet will feature a 200Hz OLED display. The exact screen size has not been revealed yet, but it is expected to be around 9 inches to fit into the compact gaming tablet category and compete with devices such as the recently unveiled Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 5.
While most people might think that a 200Hz display is overkill for a tablet, it can still offer practical advantages for gaming. With many modern mobile titles now supporting 120FPS modes, a higher refresh rate panel allows the screen to display frames more consistently, which can reduce motion blur and lower perceived input latency during fast-paced gameplay. This can lead to smoother animations, more responsive controls, and clearer motion in competitive games such as shooters and racing titles.
The tipster has also said that the tablet will most likely come with a 9000mAh battery to support the powerful processor and display. We can also expect a robust cooling solution onboard to keep the chip from running too hot. More details are expected to be revealed in the coming days.

Nubia has announced a new internal testing initiative called the “Nubia Shrimp Farmer Program,” aimed at recruiting beta testers for OpenClaw AI integration on the Nubia Z80 Ultra. Selected users will be able to test the system before the public rollout, helping Nubia refine the AI experience through real-world usage.
According to the company, the Nubia Z80 Ultra will be the world’s first smartphone to natively integrate OpenClaw. Unlike most smartphones, where AI runs as a separate app or cloud service, Nubia is embedding OpenClaw directly into the phone’s operating system. This allows the AI to interact with apps, settings, and system functions more naturally.
AI Edited Image
Ni Fei, President of the ZTE Terminal Business Unit and President of Nubia Technology, described the device as a “Gateway-type AI phone.” It supports ClawBot scenario-based applications and access to a broader Skills ecosystem, allowing the AI to automate tasks and work across multiple services. This also means AI features can run faster and handle tasks more directly within the operating system.
The Nubia Z80 Ultra, launched on October 22, features the Snapdragon 8 Ultra (5th generation) processor and a 50MP 35mm “Master Eye” main camera with a 1/1.3-inch sensor and DCG dual conversion gain HDR technology. Nubia also offers an optional photography kit for enhanced camera capabilities. The phone starts at 4,999 yuan (around $730).
Why This Matters for Users
OpenClaw could make Nubia phones feel more intelligent and proactive. Because the AI is built into the system, it can automate tasks, manage apps, and respond faster than typical AI assistants. For users, this could translate into smoother voice commands, smarter automation, and deeper AI integration across everyday phone activities rather than relying on separate AI apps.
What is OpenClaw AI?
OpenClaw is an open-source AI agent designed to do more than just answer questions. It can connect with apps, files, and online services to automate real tasks such as browsing the web, managing messages, scheduling actions, or completing multi-step workflows. In simple terms, it turns AI from a basic chatbot into a task-executing digital assistant that can actively perform actions across different apps and services.
Portronics has launched the Vayu Cop, a portable 6-in-1 car emergency utility station designed for vehicle maintenance and roadside emergencies. The device combines several functions into a single compact unit that can inflate tyres, clean interiors, start a vehicle battery, and power small electronics.
The Vayu Cop includes a digital tyre inflator that supports up to 150 PSI. It is designed for both car and motorcycle tyres. The inflator allows precise pressure control and includes an auto shut-off feature that stops inflation once the set pressure is reached to prevent over-inflation. A built-in digital display shows tyre pressure and device status in real time.
The device also works as a vacuum cleaner and an air blower. The vacuum cleaner offers 5000Pa suction power to remove dust, crumbs, and debris from car seats, footwells, and narrow spaces. The air blower runs at 10,000 RPM and is designed to clear dust from air vents and other hard-to-reach areas inside the vehicle.
For emergency situations, the Vayu Cop includes a 12V battery jump starter. It comes with smart safety clamps that provide protection against reverse polarity, short circuits, and overcurrent while jump-starting a vehicle with a drained battery.
Portronics has also added a built-in LED flashlight with an SOS mode to improve visibility during roadside emergencies or low-light conditions. The device can also function as a power bank to charge smartphones and other small electronic devices when needed.
The unit is powered by a BLDC motor that is designed to deliver stable performance while operating with lower noise. It runs on four 2000mAh rechargeable batteries and supports Type-C charging.
In terms of design, the Vayu Cop has a compact vertical form factor with a metallic grey finish. A side handle makes it easier to carry and store in a vehicle.
Pricing and availability
The Portronics Vayu Cop is priced at Rs. 5,999 and comes with a 12-month warranty. It is available on Portronics.com, Amazon.in, Flipkart.com, and other online and offline retail stores across India.

Oppo may be preparing a new high-end tablet, and early leaks suggest it could be one of the company’s most powerful models yet. The details come from well-known Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station, who posted the specifications of the device.
The Pad 5 Pro is reportedly built around a 13.2-inch display, which would make it one of the larger Android tablets currently in development. While not much is known about the display panel yet, it’s expected to feature a high resolution and possibly a high refresh rate. For context, the Pad 4 Pro packs a 2400 x 3392 IPS LCD display that refreshes at 144Hz.
Powering the tablet could be Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor. If that turns out to be accurate, the Pad 5 Pro would sit firmly in the flagship category, offering strong performance for gaming, video editing, and multitasking.
As for the battery, the leak mentions a rated capacity of 11,905mAh. The typical capacity is expected to reach around 13,000mAh. The device is said to support 67W fast charging, just like the predecessor.
The Pad 5 Pro is rumored to include an 8MP front camera for video calls and an 13MP rear camera, mainly intended for document scanning and occasional photography.
Storage and memory configurations include 8GB + 256GB, 12GB + 256GB, 12GB + 512GB, and 16GB + 512GB variants.
In the comments of the original post, the tipster hinted that the tablet could arrive around April 2026, possibly alongside a new flagship smartphone. However, pricing details remain unclear for now.
Some Windows 11 users are reporting unexpected problems after installing Microsoft’s latest security update. The complaints started appearing only a day or two after the patch rolled out, with several people describing system crashes, freezes, and other stability issues.
The update in question is KB5079473, the March 2026 cumulative update released on March 10 for Windows 11 versions 24H2 and 25H2. It moves systems to builds 26100.8037 and 26200.8037. On paper, the update mainly focuses on security fixes, along with a handful of smaller improvements. Microsoft says it includes updates to Secure Boot certificate handling, improvements to File Explorer search reliability, and changes related to WDAC COM allowlisting.
But shortly after the update began rolling out, reports started appearing in Microsoft Q&A threads. Some users claim their systems became unstable after installing the patch.
One person wrote that their computer crashed completely three times after the update, forcing them to perform hard reboots and losing unsaved work in the process. Others describe the screen freezing entirely, leaving a restart as the only option. A few users even say their PCs began restarting every 10 to 20 minutes.
“ATTEMPTED_WRITE_TO_READONLY_MEMORY (0xBE).” Beyond that, some users mention apps refusing to launch — including Office and Outlook — while tools like Command Prompt or the Print Screen shortcut stopped responding altogether. One error code mentioned in these reports is 0x800704b3.
In a few cases, users claim their drives became inaccessible on certain Samsung Galaxy Book laptops, while others point to graphical glitches or GPU-accelerated apps crashing on Dell Precision systems. These examples are anecdotal for now, but they do suggest the update may be triggering compatibility issues on some hardware.
For users running into trouble, the usual advice applies: pause updates for the moment, or uninstall the patch through Windows Update settings if possible. Submitting a report through the Feedback Hub can also help Microsoft track down the cause if a wider problem is developing.
OnePlus Nord 6 is expected to arrive soon as the successor to the OnePlus Nord 5, and new leaks have revealed several key details about the upcoming mid-range smartphone. According to tipster Yogesh Brar, the device could launch early next month, with the information shared on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter).
The Nord series has traditionally focused on offering strong performance in the upper mid-range segment, and the Nord 6 appears to continue that approach with a significant chipset upgrade.
AI-generated image for representation only
Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 Could Power the Nord 6
One of the biggest highlights of the leak is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor. If accurate, this would mark a major performance improvement compared to the Nord 5.
A previously spotted Geekbench listing also suggested the same chipset. Early benchmark information indicates the processor could deliver around 26% higher multi-core CPU performance than the previous model.
This upgrade would position the Nord 6 as one of the most powerful devices in the mid-range smartphone category.
Similar Hardware to the OnePlus Turbo 6
Reports suggest the Nord 6 may share several specifications with the OnePlus Turbo 6, which launched earlier in China.
Based on that model, the Nord 6 could feature a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution and an ultra-smooth 165Hz refresh rate. The display is also expected to support 165Hz high-frame-rate gaming, making it appealing to mobile gamers.
Connectivity may include a self-developed G1 e-sports Wi-Fi chip, designed to improve gaming stability.
Battery and Charging Details
The Chinese Turbo 6 model includes a massive 9000mAh Glacier Battery with 80W wired fast charging. However, it remains unclear whether the global Nord 6 will retain the same battery capacity.
Some reports suggest the battery may be smaller for global markets due to regulatory requirements.
Pricing Expectations
The leak also hints that the OnePlus Nord 6 may launch at a higher price than the Nord 5. While official pricing has not been confirmed, the upgraded chipset and gaming-focused features could justify the increase.
With the expected launch approaching, more details about the device should emerge soon.
Last week, Huawei teased the design of the Enjoy 90 Pro Max and the Enjoy 90 Plus. Now, the company has gone ahead and revealed the launch date of the Enjoy 90 series in China.
In separate posts on Weibo, Huawei confirmed that the Enjoy 90 series phones will debut in China on March 23 during the company’s Spring product launch event.
The Enjoy 90 Pro Max will feature slim display bezels and a hole-punch cutout for the selfie camera. The teaser poster also confirms that the handset will sport a circular rear camera module housing dual sensors.
Meanwhile, the Enjoy 90 Plus...
While everyone’s waiting for One UI 8.5, Samsung has just started testing Android 17-based One UI 9 update for the Galaxy S26 series.
Samsung started Galaxy S26 sales last week, and the latest development unlocks One UI 9 access for the devices. The first Android 17-based firmware has been uploaded to the server, and we may soon see the Internet flooding with early leaks.
As spotted by TarunVats, Samsung is testing BZC5 build on the Galaxy S26 Ultra. For those familiar with Samsung’s software numbering, it’s easy to determine that the version in testing is the next major Android and One UI release.
Galaxy S26 series ships with One UI 8.5, built on Android 16. It looks like the company may not give buyers much time to enjoy the current software. Early access to the One UI 9 version will likely be provided by May this year.
Samsung may spend some time testing the software internally. It could be weeks or even months, which are usually required for optimization. Well, the Galaxy S26 series has pretty much content to explore even without One UI 9.
Google already launched the Beta Program of Android 17. It’s currently limited to Pixel phones, while Android OEMs would join the party once the Android maker nears hitting the Platform Stability mark with the operating system.
The South Korean tech giant will release the official One UI 9 with the next-generation foldable phones. The Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, and the so-called Wide Fold are the strongest contenders to debut the new operating system.
Samsung hasn’t unveiled the Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57 yet, but someone has already unboxed the phone and had hands-on experience.
Galaxy A37 and A57 unboxing and hands-on videos leak on TikTok (via @VerdeSelvans/X). The clips expose the design of both phones and first look at the software. The retail box features the model name in a prominent portion, unlike flagships.
Galaxy A37
The Galaxy A37 is shown in its Green colorway. The camera bump looks clean, taking inspiration from the new design language. You may be surprised seeing the bezels surrounding the screen, but they are better than iPhone 17e and Pixel 10a.
Galaxy A57
Samsung’s Galaxy A57 is a premium iteration over the A37. This phone will give buyers flagship-style vibes, given its aesthetics. The edges are smooth to offer better handling and bezels are also thinner than the A37.
Rumors suggested Samsung could have planned to launch these phones in late January or early February. However, the official launch is still awaited. Samsung prioritized the Galaxy S26 series, with A lineup now coming afterwards.
Samsung has increased the prices of existing Galaxy A, M and F series phones in India. This is because of the rising component costs that include image sensors, application processors and DRAM/NAND memory chips.
That said, the Galaxy A37 and A57 may also shock buyers with their price tags. It remains to be seen how Samsung manages to silence the effect. It has to as the two models play a crucial role in expanding the sales of the brand.
You can get Samsung’s newest flagship without touching your wallet. The free Galaxy S26 Ultra deal kicks in when you add a new line on the T-Mobile carrier’s Experience Beyond plan in the US, no trade needed.
The plan itself sets you back over $100 per month, plus you’re locked in for 24 months. There’s also a $35 connection fee upfront, and you will pay taxes on the phone’s full value when you sign up. The device itself might be free, but the plan absolutely is not.
The 256GB S26 Ultra typically costs $1,299, so if you’re already considering a switch to T-Mobile or you genuinely want that pricier tier, this makes sense.
The mid-tier Experience More plan starts at $85/mo for a single line. It features many of the perks from the super high-end plan, like Netflix and UHD streaming, and you can snag the regular S26 on that tier instead if you want to dodge the Ultra tax.
Up to $1,300 via bill credits spread over 24 months, and the line with the promo must be active. If you bail early or pay off the device ahead of schedule, the credits vanish, and you’re stuck with whatever balance remains on the phone.
Samsung launched the S26 lineup on February 25, and the Privacy Display on the S26 Ultra is the standout addition to this year’s lineup. It’s the kind of feature you didn’t know you needed until someone peeks at your screen.
Galaxy S26 Ultra runs the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset worldwide. The device features improved camera sensors with a wider aperture. It improves low-light experience, with ALoP tech also making its debut with the S26 Ultra.
A new OnePlus smartphone with model number CPH2805 has surfaced and could potentially launch as the OnePlus Nord 6 CE. Leaks suggest it may be a rebranded version of the Turbo 6V, which launched earlier in China.
Samsung is celebrating the Galaxy S26 success, but its Mobile Division has reportedly entered “Emergency Mode.” Reports suggest that Samsung has activated an emergency management framework across its Mobile eXperience division.
The decision places the MX division alongside other units inside Samsung’s Device eXperience (DX) umbrella that have already adopted similar cost-control measures.
Only the chip-focused Device Solutions division remains outside the emergency framework. Samsung’s cash cow, the semiconductor market, is now creating intense financial pressure for the divisions that purchase components.
Samsung Galaxy S26 is a hit, so why Emergency?
Memory prices have surged dramatically, rising more than 850 percent over the past year. Flagship Galaxy devices rely heavily on high-performance memory, so when those prices spike, the cost structure of an entire product category shifts.
Galaxy S26 has become expensive, yet generating impressive sales. Strong shipments can usually absorb moderate increases in component costs, but an eightfold jump in memory pricing fundamentally changes the math.
Samsung’s Mobile eXperience (MX) Division reported an operating profit of 12.9 trillion KRW last year. Current forecasts suggest that the number could fall to around 5 trillion KRW this year, a drop of more than 60 percent.
That tension explains why the success of the Galaxy S26 does not necessarily translate into financial comfort for Samsung’s mobile division.
Samsung can dominate chip manufacturing while suffering from price inflation in its consumer hardware divisions. Vertical integration offers advantages, but it does not fully insulate individual business units from market swings.
A Reddit user reports scoring an AMD Ryzen 5 7600X, Gigabyte B850M Eagle motherboard, and Corsair 32GB DDR5-6000 kit, normally totaling about $1,013, for $86.98 after a brief pricing glitch in Newegg’s combo configurator. Newegg reportedly honored the orders and shipped the parts before patching the issue, leaving the buyer only needing a case, SSD, and GPU to complete the build.
Former Bethesda QA tester Colin McInerney recalled deliberately stress-testing Fallout 4 on Xbox One by exploiting RAM limits and unleashing “super-nukes,” triggering four crashes in a single morning and generating automatic crash reports that reached ZeniMax leadership.

Samsung’s Audio Eraser is an unbeatable feature so far. After its initial debut and simplification, Samsung has brought a wild upgrade to its AI-powered Audio Eraser in the Galaxy S26 series, which is a game-changer.
Audio Eraser allows you to erase background noise from videos. You don’t have to worry about the interrupting noise if you own a Samsung. It’s available on most recent flagship phones, but Galaxy S26 is something different.
Sounds weird, but Audio Eraser in Galaxy S26 lets you silence noise in almost any app. Thanks to Galaxy AI, you can remove noise in various mainstream apps. Since it’s integrated at OS level, you don’t need much manual effort.
With the Galaxy S26 series, the Audio Eraser works in YouTube, Netflix, Instagram, TikTok, Amazon Prime Video, and so on. The new flagships no longer require you to have the video in the Gallery app to offer access to Audio Eraser.
Quick Panel is where you find the Audio Eraser toggle. If you are running a compatible app, it shows up at the top. Samsung is expected to expand support to even more apps through sequential updates, for sure.
How to wipe noise on the fly
Start a video playback in your favorite app and pull the Quick Panel.
If Audio Eraser is compatible, you will see a toggle at the top of the panel.
Tapping the toggle will expand internal settings.
Firstly, toggle the button to apply the Audio Eraser.
Once done, you will also be able to adjust the strength of noise removal.
Hit “Done,” and the setup is done.
Voice Focus: As the name suggests, it will prioritise voice in the audio. Activating the option will reduce other sounds like noise and music and boost human vocals.

Samsung Galaxy S26, S26 Plus, and S26 Ultra are the first phones to ship with One UI 8.5; among these, the Ultra variant has some extra headspace in the status bar compared to its predecessor.
It can be confirmed that the One UI 8.5 has an increased margin from the status bar icons to the top bezel than the S25 Ultra with the same software version. This difference is quite apparent when you bring the two device closers, and screenshots make this absolute. Check the comparison below (focus on the black horizontal line to measure the margin difference).
This change may be highly influenced by the larger corner radius. Previously, Samsung had sufficient accurate margin on all sides with fewer rounds on the corners, thus supporting the UI to maintain its existing margins. However, that might not be the only reason behind this headspace expansion.
It is speculated that this headspace change could be due to a new selfie camera, which is wider than the S25 Ultra. Furthermore, the front camera hole is larger than the predecessor’s, which is another reason why One UI 8.5 had to adjust the status bar items to a lower alignment for the Galaxy S26 Ultra.
Besides this new change, the status bar works as usual, but it might be an indicator that future Galaxy Ultra phones will maintain this status bar UI margin.
Author’s Take
This is a tiny but noticeable change, and shows the complication in bringing new devices and hardware upgrades. It doesn’t impact the user experience, and first-time users won’t see any major difference, but it’s hard for me to let it slip.
On the other hand, Samsung has already given up on those Note-like corners, and the new design is likely to stay for the next few years. We’ll see what Samsung comes up with the Galaxy S27 Ultra in 2027.

However, everyone noticed that the rumor appeared after the iPhone 17 Pro launch. These new iPhones have become the first to mainstream the new orange color, and it looks beautiful, to be honest. Apple’s only way to bring this new orange color to the iPhone lineup was to give up on using titanium and replace it with a new aluminum alloy. Eventually, the company successfully implemented this change to the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max.
Over the past few years, a few of Samsung’s big decisions have been widely influenced by Apple. Some of you might argue, but it’s quite evident, for example, Apple cut off the charger from the retail box, Samsung followed. iPhones adopted titanium, Galaxy flagships followed, and iPhone 17 Pro escaped titanium, so did Galaxy S26 Ultra.
The chain of follow-ups provided a solid ground for rumors that Samsung will again follow Apple and launch an orange color. Though Samsung gave up on titanium, the phone maker didn’t launch an orange Galaxy S26 Ultra and kept this rumor on the shelf.
Meanwhile, Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra in six colors: cobalt violet, sky blue, white, black, and two online exclusive – pink gold and silver shadow.
The Soundcore Space One headphones will be getting a successor soon. The affordable pair of headphones from Anker's audio brand will feature a new design, upgraded features, but a higher price tag.
The Samsung Galaxy A57 is coming very soon. It was listed, by mistake, this week by a European retailer. It's expected to have a 6.6-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED, an Exynos 1680 SoC, 6/8/12GB of RAM, 128/256GB of storage, a 50MP main, a 12MP ultrawide, and a 5MP macro camera, a 12MP selfie, and a 5,000mAh battery.
Samsung SDI has been testing 12,000mAh, 18,000mAh, and 20,000mAh Silicon-Carbon batteries – internal test reports have leaked on X, and they show that the company still has work to do. There is no info on the 20,000mAh battery, but the reports for the other two note that it failed...
This week, Samsung released the 7th One UI 8.5 beta with a bunch of bug fixes, but a hands-on of the new software reveals an important change I’ve been waiting for since the very beginning.
The latest beta has smoothed user interactions and reduced frame lag, which has been persistent during the lock screen unlock in some scenarios. Not just the lock screen, but some of the menu options have been facing the same issue. Overall, the software feels lighter than before due to improved responsiveness.
The beta 7 accounts for about 1GB of total downloadable size, which suggests it may include additional hidden changes, obviously not mentioned in the changelog. You may only notice these changes with hands-on experience.
We can say that the version adds another important layer of improvement to the One UI 8.5 beta program. It is not the final release, but the software appears to have reached stability.
Yet reports suggest we may see an 8th beta this month. If so, we may have a good chance of seeing the stable One UI 8.5 rollout in April, as previously speculated.
Through February, Samsung was preparing for the Galaxy S26 series launch event. Now that’s done, its focus and resources have shifted to One UI 8.5 expansion, starting with the S25 series.
There’s another major development from the past week: the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 have entered the One UI 8.5 test pool. These are the first devices to test the latest One UI version after the Galaxy S25 series.

Author’s Take
One UI 8.5 comes as the most decorated software update Samsung has ever released. It has graphics and animation improvements that improve the user experience. However, beta testers’ feedback has enabled Samsung developers to quash bugs and improve the areas that were compromising the user experience.
The 7th One UI 8.5 beta has worked in the same direction and provided a much-needed fix to issues from the 6th installment. We hope to see the program closing very soon, but it wouldn’t be too much to say that Samsung is stretching the beta campaign intentionally.
Still, fixing and preparing the software for a fully stable experience is important, and we could give the phone maker a pass on that.
Samsung installed a beefier vapor chamber inside the Galaxy S26 Ultra. It’s not just a size increase, but a technological upgrade via design refinements.
Modern flagship processors are absurdly powerful and absurdly hot. Snapdragon 8 Elite chips don’t just warm up during gaming anymore. They cook during AI tasks, video recording, and even aggressive multitasking.
The Galaxy S26 Ultra Vapor Chamber is roughly 15% larger than what you got in the S25 Ultra, as revealed in PBKreviews teardown. The company claims 21% better thermal performance compared to the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
The teardown evidence surfaced earlier this week, and the photos tell a clearer story than Samsung’s press release ever will. Samsung’s new Vapor Chamber now occupies significantly more real estate inside.
The phone’s got a redesigned cooling system with a vapor chamber that’s roughly 15% bigger than last year’s model, plus something called thermal interface material now sitting on the sides of the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor.
You can see it right there next to the battery:

Samsung also added thermal interface material along the processor’s sides. That’s supposed to spread heat horizontally faster, keeping temperatures even across the device instead of creating one scorching hot zone near the camera bump.
The vapor chamber size increase matters more this generation. Ray tracing isn’t optional in flagship gaming anymore. AI inference happens locally now instead of in the cloud. The teardown confirms Samsung took cooling seriously this year.
A hot phone doesn’t just throttle performance. It kills your battery faster, makes the aluminum frame uncomfortable to hold, and in extreme cases, triggers thermal shutdowns that make the device useless right when you need it.
The Oppo Find N6 is set to launch soon, and right before the foldable phone launches, the company has announced a new magnetic accessory for it. It's called the Magnetic Turbo 2nd Generation 50W Wireless Charger, and it can also act like a phone cooler.
The Garmin Chat Connector could open up entirely new possibilities for analyzing data from the Garmin ecosystem - potentially even on smartphones. In principle, the system might offer a way to process large volumes of data independently of the manufacturer.
A new Oppo flagship Android tablet is expected to be in the works. A leak from China suggests that the Oppo Pad 5 Pro will launch alongside the Find X9 Ultra, while also revealing key specifications of the upcoming tablet.
Despite branching into the lower and higher-end segments, Nothing is still primarily a mid-ranger company. The fourth generation started shipping this week with the vanilla model, though the Pro is only now starting its pre-order phase.
The Nothing Phone (4a) closes the all-important camera gap with a 50MP 3.5x/80mm telephoto module. In fact, its camera is almost identical to that of the (4a) Pro – last year, the superior camera hardware was a major reason to pay the Pro premium.

This year, the two models differ mainly on...
A new leak sheds light on Samsung Galaxy Wide Fold phone’s screen size, battery capacity and chip choice. After Fold, Flip, and TriFold, the company is preparing to introduce a passport-style foldable phone later this year.
According to a well-known Chinese tipster, Digital Chat Station, Samsung is preparing a new device referred to as a “Galaxy Wide Fold.”
The device is said to feature a 7.6-inch main display, placing it in familiar territory for Samsung’s book-style foldables, but the wider aspect ratio could change how the screen is used.
The report claims the device will run on the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. This would instantly put the Wide Fold among the fastest Android devices planned for that cycle.
The leak mentions a dual cell battery system rated at 4660mAh capacity. The split configuration is listed as 2267mAh and 2393mAh cells, while the typical capacity is reportedly around 4800mAh.
2026 is shaping up to be a fascinating year for foldables. Samsung, Huawei, and several Chinese brands are pushing hardware forward at an aggressive pace.
Apple is also developing its first foldable iPhone, which could debut later this year. If Apple joins the race, the stakes climb even higher.
For now, the Galaxy Wide Fold remains a leak. But the idea behind it says a lot about where Samsung’s thinking may be heading.
Microsoft has released out-of-band Windows 11 hotpatch KB5084597 for an RRAS security issue, with no restart required on eligible hotpatch-enabled devices.
The Garmin Chat Connector could open up entirely new possibilities for analyzing data from the Garmin ecosystem - potentially even on smartphones. In principle, the system might offer a way to process large volumes of data independently of the manufacturer.
Xiaomi has announced a new refrigerator in China called the Xiaomi Mijia Refrigerator Pro Dual System French Flat‑Mounted 560L. Long name, we know.
The refrigerator is currently listed for pre-sale at 6,443 yuan ($935), though coupons bring the final cost down to about 5,798.7 yuan ($840) through Chinese retailer JD.com.
Xiaomi Mijia Refrigerator Pro Dual System French Flat‑Mounted 560L Specifications
The refrigerator uses a dual-system design, which means the refrigerator and freezer sections each have their own evaporator and fan. The company claims this setup helps prevent odor transfer between the freezer and fresh food areas while maintaining more stable temperatures.
According to Xiaomi, the refrigerator compartment can maintain temperature fluctuations within ±0.5°C. Both the refrigerator and freezer compartments are also equipped with a full-area ion purification system to reduce bacteria and odors inside the storage space.
Another feature Xiaomi is highlighting is automatic antibacterial ice making. The water inlet box, water circulation system, ice tray, and ice storage box are all designed with antibacterial materials and can make ice automatically while keeping the water pathway cleaner.
Xiaomi says the machine can complete a quick ice cycle in around 55 minutes under typical conditions, though actual times may vary depending on room temperature and usage.
The refrigerator also supports deep freezing down to –30°C. This is suitable for preserving meat and seafood for longer periods.
Large 560-liter capacity and wide freezer drawer
Inside the refrigerator compartment, Xiaomi includes dual moisture-retaining drawers designed for fruits and vegetables. The drawers use what the company calls “water molecule sieve” moisturizing technology.
In simple terms, it’s a humidity-controlling film inside the drawer that helps slow moisture loss, which should keep produce from drying out too quickly.
Meanwhile, as the name suggests, the refrigerator offers 560 liters of total storage, including 360 liters for the refrigerator compartment and 200 liters for the freezer. The freezer uses a wide French-style drawer layout that Xiaomi says is designed for large items like full racks of ribs or large cuts of meat.
The drawer itself uses a three-stage precision steel linear rail system that can support up to 50 kilograms. It also has a separate flat storage tray meant for foods like dumplings or pizza to prevent them from being crushed.
The appliance is available in two finishes — Ice Crystal White and Starry Satin Silver — and measures 892mm wide, 600mm deep, and 1912mm tall. Despite the large capacity, Xiaomi lists the operating noise level at 31dB, which is relatively quiet for a refrigerator of this size.
Samsung’s rumored wide-screen foldable just picked up a few more details. A new leak suggests the device could feature a 7.6-inch inner display, a flagship chipset, and a fairly large battery.
According to the leak by tipster Digital Chat Station, the upcoming wide foldable will use a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor. This will bring it in line with the performance of the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8.
The phone reportedly uses a dual-cell battery with a typical capacity of around 4,800mAh. The leak breaks this down into two cells — 2,267mAh and 2,393mAh — with a combined minimum capacity of about 4,660mAh. Dual-cell setups are common in foldables because they allow manufacturers to distribute the battery across both halves of the device.
Samsung’s wide-foldable will have an inner screen comparable toGalaxy Z Fold 8 in size
The inner display size is perhaps the most interesting detail. At 7.6 inches, it matches the main display size of Samsung’s current book-style foldables.
However, the key difference is expected to be the aspect ratio. The device will be shorter and wider, giving it a more tablet-like 4:3 layout when unfolded. A broader cover display is typically more comfortable for typing and messaging, while the inner screen can feel more natural for reading and watching videos.
The leak also claims the device will be available in Samsung’s domestic market, meaning Samsung is at least planning a launch in its home region.
Samsung’s wide-foldable design leaks in the One UI 9 build
More broadly, the leak hints that Apple and Samsung may lead the international wide-foldable race, while Huawei and other domestic brands could compete more aggressively in the Chinese market.
This lines up with earlier reports suggesting Samsung is exploring multiple foldable designs at the same time, rather than replacing its existing Galaxy Z Fold lineup. The wide foldable may simply become a new option alongside the traditional tall fold model.
Of course, leaks only tell part of the story. Samsung has tested plenty of experimental hardware over the years that never reached store shelves. Still, the steady flow of details means the company’s wide foldable experiment is moving closer to reality.
March is only halfway through, and there are already several major launches planned, including the Vivo X300 Ultra and the OnePlus 15T. April could be just as busy, as a tipster has revealed a few smartphones scheduled to arrive next month.
According to Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the upcoming Oppo Find X9 Ultra, Oppo Find X9s Pro, and the long-rumored Huawei Pura 90 series are all expected to launch in April.
The list also includes a wide-form foldable Huawei Pura X2, along with two performance-focused phones expected to run on the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chip.
While Huawei has already confirmed that the Huawei Enjoy 90 series will launch this month, the company’s more premium announcements appear to be waiting until April.
What can you expect?
We already have some context on Oppo’s side. The Find X9s Pro is expected to be a compact phone with the Dimensity 9500 inside, while the X9 Ultra is tipped to be an imaging-focused flagship running on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.
As for Huawei, the standard Pura 90 is rumored to feature a 6.58-inch display. The higher-end models in the lineup could feature a larger 6.87-inch flat display designed to deliver a more premium look and feel.
Huawei Pura 80 Ultra
The base model is expected to use the Kirin 9020 chip, while the Pro version may upgrade to the Kirin 9030. At the top of the lineup, the rumored Ultra model could run an even more powerful Kirin 9030 Pro.
Huawei’s foldable plans may also see an upgrade with the Pura X2. The device is expected to feature a wider foldable design compared with the previous generation and could include a 7.69-inch WQHD+ inner display alongside a 5.5-inch outer screen.
Huawei may also continue to focus heavily on camera technology. The foldable is tipped to feature a Red Maple quad-camera system consisting of a 50-megapixel main sensor, a 40-megapixel ultra-wide lens, an 8-megapixel telephoto camera, and a multispectral Red Maple primary color sensor.

The floor scrubber sprays dense foam to break down oily stains and uses a 90°C hot water feature to soften sugar-based residues like juice or syrup. Xiaomi has designed this multi-stage cleaning process to handle different types of messes efficiently.
The device features a 28,000Pa suction motor with a 168AW maximum input, a roller brush for wet and dry debris, and a PPA shark-tooth comb scraper with a four-layer anti-tangle system to prevent hair clogs.
Xiaomi has also included edge-cleaning technology that uses an arm and infrared sensors to clean close to walls, furniture legs, and cabinet edges. The floor scrubber can reach gaps as narrow as 11mm, making it effective for cleaning hard-to-reach areas.
The device includes a self-cleaning system that uses 100°C boiling water to sanitize the roller brush and flush the wastewater pipe. After cleaning, the roller undergoes hot air drying to prevent mold and odors.
The Mijia Wireless Floor Scrubber 5 Max is powered by a 6,300mAh battery, which provides up to 70 minutes of runtime. The device can clean homes of up to 420 square meters on a single charge. It features a 1000mL clean water tank and a 700mL dirty water tank for extended cleaning sessions.
The floor scrubber integrates with HyperOS Connect and Mijia app, allowing users to control cleaning modes, monitor battery life, and adjust power assist. It also features an LCD color display for modes, alerts, and battery status.
Casio has released the W218HD-3AV, a new addition to its affordable digital watch lineup. The watch is available in the United States for $45.95 and features a retro design with a bold green dial. This model follows the earlier W218HD-1AV and brings a fresh color option to the series.
Casio W218HD-3AV Specifications
The W218HD-3AV has a square case with a brushed silver metal finish. Its stainless steel bracelet matches the industrial aesthetic, while a deep green frame sets off the digital display. Casio has incorporated exposed screws and a layered bezel to give the watch a rugged, vintage-inspired appearance.
Casio designed the W218HD-3AV with practicality in mind. The watch offers 5-bar water resistance, allowing it to handle splashes, showers, and light swimming. It includes an LED backlight with amber illumination, making it easy to read in the dark. The watch also provides a 1/100-second stopwatch with multiple measuring modes, a daily alarm, and an hourly time signal.
The watch measures 44.4 x 43.2 x 10.8 mm and weighs 85 grams. Casio used resin for the case and bezel, while the stainless steel bracelet fits wrist sizes between 150 and 205 mm. The triple-fold clasp ensures a secure and comfortable fit.
The W218HD-3AV is powered by a CR2016 battery, which offers a lifespan of approximately seven years. The watch maintains accuracy within ±30 seconds per month and supports both 12-hour and 24-hour time formats.
Vivo’s next flagship lineup may take a slightly different approach when it comes to performance. A recent leak suggests the upcoming Vivo X500 series could arrive with two separate flagship chipsets, giving the standard and Pro models different performance levels. The company is expected to skip the Vivo X400 series entirely, jumping straight from the X300 lineup to the X500 generation.
For reference, the current Vivo X300 series, which launched in October 2025, uses the same processor across both models. The X300 (our review) and X300 Pro are powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500, so there’s no major performance split between them. That may not be the case this time.
The latest leak claims MediaTek is preparing two flagship Dimensity chips for 2026: the Dimensity 9600 and a higher-end Dimensity 9600 Pro. Vivo could be among the first brands to use them.
Exact differences between the two chips are still unclear for now, but the Pro version would likely offer stronger CPU and GPU performance, along with improvements in AI processing or power efficiency.
A split-chip strategy like this would also fit into a broader trend that’s starting to appear in the smartphone industry. Qualcomm, for example, is rumored to be working on a similar idea with its upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 platform.
Beyond the processor, another rumored change involves the battery. Some early reports suggest the X500 series could move to batteries around the 7,000mAh mark, which would be a noticeable jump compared with the previous generation if it turns out to be true.
Of course, none of these details have been officially confirmed yet. The Vivo X500 lineup is still months away, with a launch likely sometime in late 2026.
For now, the information should be treated as early speculation. As the launch window gets closer, more details about the devices — and MediaTek’s next Dimensity chips — will probably surface through additional leaks.
Realme may soon expand its smartphone lineup in India with two new 5G models. Recent leaks suggest the company is preparing to launch the Realme 16T and the Realme P4R, with details about their memory configurations, color options, and model numbers already surfacing online.
The information comes from tipster Abhishek Yadav. According to the leak, the Realme 16T carries the model number RMX5268 and could become the fourth device in the Realme 16 series.
The phone is expected to arrive in three RAM and storage variants:
6GB RAM + 128GB storage
8GB RAM + 128GB storage
8GB RAM + 256GB storage
As for colors, the device may be offered in Starlight Red, Starlight Black, and Aurora Green. The naming suggests Realme might once again lean toward bright or glossy finishes.
Alongside the 16T, Realme is also reportedly working on the Realme P4R, carrying the model number RMX5266. This model appears to target a slightly lower price segment within the company’s lineup.
The leaked configurations for the P4R include:
4GB RAM + 128GB storage
6GB RAM + 128GB storage
6GB RAM + 256GB storage
Color options for the device are said to include Silver Glare, Titanium Glare, and Lavender Glare. Compared to the 16T, the finishes here sound a bit more subtle.
Based on the memory options alone, the Realme 16T appears to sit above the P4R in the lineup, offering slightly higher RAM configurations for users who want a bit more headroom for multitasking or gaming.
For now, other specifications such as the processor, display, cameras, and battery capacity remain unknown. However, Realme has been focusing on longer battery life, faster charging, and improved design in its recent mid-range phones, so similar hardware could appear here as well.
With leaks already surfacing, more details about both phones will likely emerge soon.
Water resistance sounds straightforward until you compare a smartphone, a smartwatch, and a dive watch. Each device uses different standards, and the numbers printed on the box can easily mislead buyers. That confusion matters because durability has become a major concern for consumers. Surveys show that 44.5% of people now own wearable devices, meaning millions of buyers regularly encounter terms like 5ATM, 10ATM, 20ATM, and IP68.
At the same time, water damage remains a common problem. Around 78 million Americans damaged a smartphone in the past year, and 21% of those incidents were linked to water exposure. Understanding what water-resistance ratings actually mean can help buyers avoid costly accidents and choose devices that match their lifestyle.
Why Water Resistance Ratings Confuse Buyers
One of the biggest reasons buyers get confused is that different devices use completely different testing systems. Smartphones rely on IP ratings, such as IP68, which measure how well a device prevents dust and water from entering the internal electronics. The goal is sealing and protection against accidental exposure.
Smartwatches usually use ATM ratings, such as 5ATM or 10ATM. Instead of measuring dust protection, these ratings indicate how much water pressure the watch can withstand during activity.
Dive watches may also use ATM ratings, but they are typically designed with stronger sealing systems and sometimes follow professional diving standards. Because of these differences, the same number does not always mean the same level of real-world protection.
The simplest rule is to identify the device category first, then interpret the rating.
Water Resistance Levels at a Glance
Water-resistance numbers can look technical, but the difference between them is fairly simple. The rating mainly reflects how much water pressure a device can tolerate during use.
A 5ATM rating is typically designed for everyday wear and occasional swimming. Most modern fitness watches fall into this category because it provides enough protection for rain, showers, and pool sessions.
Moving up to 10ATM offers stronger protection. Devices at this level are better suited for frequent swimming and water sports, where movement in water creates higher pressure on the watch seals.
A 20ATM rating sits in a completely different category. Watches with this rating are designed for rugged environments such as ocean activities, diving, or heavy water exposure. These watches often appear in specialized outdoor or dive-focused models built for demanding conditions.
The higher the ATM rating, the larger the durability margin when the device experiences motion, waves, or repeated water exposure.

What 5ATM Means for Everyday Wear
A 5ATM rating is the most common level found in modern smartwatches. It is designed to handle everyday water exposure such as rain, sweat, showers, and occasional swimming.
For many users, this level of protection is perfectly adequate. People who primarily use their smartwatch for fitness tracking, gym sessions, and casual swimming rarely need more than 5ATM.
However, it is still considered entry-level water resistance for wearables. Activities involving stronger water pressure, such as surfing or high-speed water sports, can place more stress on device seals than this rating is designed for.
Why 10ATM Is a Noticeable Upgrade
Moving from 5ATM to 10ATM water resistance adds a meaningful durability margin. Watches with this rating are generally built for users who spend more time in the water.
A 10ATM device is better suited for frequent swimming, snorkeling, and water-heavy travel activities. This level is commonly seen in rugged fitness watches and outdoor wearables designed for active lifestyles.
Demand for stronger water protection is also increasing. Travel data from 2025 showed that 48% of sports travelers planned trips involving water sports, which has made higher water-resistance ratings more attractive for buyers who regularly swim or participate in water activities.
For many active users, 10ATM represents a comfortable balance between durability and everyday usability.
Why 20ATM Watches Are Built for Extreme Water Use
When a watch reaches 20ATM water resistance, it moves beyond casual swimming protection and into the territory of rugged outdoor and dive watches.
This rating is designed to handle strong water pressure, repeated exposure, and harsher environments such as ocean conditions. These watches are often built with reinforced sealing systems and more durable construction to ensure long-term reliability.
Specialized ocean-focused brands, including dive watch manufacturers such as Future Wrist Tech, often design watches in this category for people who spend extended time around saltwater environments.
While most everyday users do not need 20ATM, it becomes valuable for divers, surfers, sailors, and anyone regularly exposed to demanding water conditions.
Why Smartphones Use IP68 Instead of ATM
Smartphones prioritize protection against water and dust entering internal electronics, which is why they use the IP rating system rather than ATM.
An IP68 rating typically indicates that a device is protected against dust and can survive accidental water exposure or limited submersion under controlled conditions. This makes it ideal for everyday situations such as rain, spills, or dropping a phone in water.
However, water resistance in phones is not permanent. Over time, seals can weaken due to heat, impacts, and regular wear. This gradual degradation is one reason water damage remains a common issue for phone owners.
Surveys show that 31% of smartphone users damaged a phone in the past year, with water exposure contributing to a significant portion of those incidents.
Lab Testing vs Real-World Use
Water-resistance ratings are determined through controlled laboratory testing, which does not always reflect real-world conditions.
In laboratory environments, devices are tested under stable temperatures and static water pressure without motion or physical impact. Real life is very different. Watches and phones often face drops, waves, saltwater, soap, chlorine, and sudden temperature changes.
Movement in water can also increase pressure on device seals, which means activities like surfing or diving may stress the device more than calm lab testing conditions.
For this reason, manufacturers consistently warn that water resistance decreases over time and should not be considered permanent protection.
Common Water Resistance Mistakes Buyers Make
Many buyers misunderstand water-resistance ratings because the numbers sound more powerful than they actually are.
A frequent misconception is believing that 5ATM means a watch can safely dive to 50 meters. In reality, the rating reflects pressure resistance under controlled testing rather than actual diving depth. Movement in water increases pressure significantly, which can exceed the limits of the rating.
Another common mistake is assuming water resistance lasts forever. Device seals slowly degrade with heat, drops, and daily wear, which means even highly rated devices can become less resistant after years of use.
Some buyers also assume that a smartphone with IP68 protection can safely replace a waterproof watch during swimming or water sports. In reality, phones are designed for accidental exposure, not sustained underwater activity.
Understanding these limitations helps buyers choose the correct level of protection for their lifestyle.
Choosing the Right Water Resistance Level
Selecting the right rating depends on how and where the device will be used.
For smartphones, IP68 protection is generally enough to handle accidental water exposure and everyday environmental risks.
For everyday smartwatch users, 5ATM is suitable for daily wear, workouts, and occasional swimming.
For people who swim regularly or participate in water sports, 10ATM offers stronger durability and a larger safety margin.
For ocean activities, diving, or rugged environments, 20ATM watches, including specialized ocean watches from brands such as Future Wrist Tech, are designed to handle heavier water exposure.
Choosing the correct rating ensures the device is built for the environment it will actually face.
Final Takeaway
Water-resistance ratings only become useful when buyers understand what they represent.
IP68 is not the same as 5ATM. 5ATM is very different from 20ATM.
Each rating reflects a different testing system and a different type of device.
With wearable ownership rising and water damage still common, understanding these ratings helps buyers make smarter decisions. The right level of water resistance can mean the difference between a device that survives everyday accidents and one that fails when exposed to real-world conditions.
Lava has added a new model to its budget 5G lineup in India with the launch of the Bold 2 5G. The phone arrives as the successor to last year’s Bold 5G.
The Bold 2 5G features a 6.67-inch FHD+ AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. Unlike the curved panel used on its predecessor, Lava has opted for a 2.5D display. Many users find it more practical for everyday use, as it doesn’t suffer from accidental touches as much as curved displays. It retains the in-display fingerprint scanner from last year.
The phone is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7060 chipset, replacing the Dimensity 6300 found in the previous model. It comes with 6GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB of storage, along with support for virtual RAM expansion of up to 6GB. Lava is shipping the device with Android 15, and like many of the company’s recent phones, the software experience is expected to remain clean, without unnecessary pre-installed apps.
For cameras, the Bold 2 5G carries a 50MP main sensor paired with a secondary camera that assists with depth or macro shots. On the front, the phone uses an 8MP selfie camera. Unfortunately, this appears to be a downgrade from the predecessor’s 16MP selfie camera.
Battery capacity remains fairly standard for this category. The phone packs a 5,000mAh battery with support for 33W fast charging, which Lava says should comfortably last a full day under typical usage.
Interestingly, the device manages to stay quite slim at 7.55mm, despite the large battery. Lava has also included IP64 dust and water resistance, something that still isn’t very common in this price bracket.
The Lava Bold 2 5G will be available in Feather White and Midnight Black color options. Pricing starts at ₹12,999 for the 6GB + 128GB variant, including bank offers and coupons. The phone is scheduled to go on sale via Amazon India starting March 19.
With features like an AMOLED display, clean Android software, and a capable mid-range chipset, the Bold 2 5G appears to be Lava’s attempt at offering a balanced budget 5G device without pushing the price too high.
Vivo V30 users have started receiving the Android 16-based OriginOS 6 update, which could be the final major upgrade for the device. The latest update offers tons of visual upgrades, along with numerous features and enhancements throughout the system.
The company hasn’t officially announced the rollout yet, like any other Vivo device. However, some Vivo V30 users have confirmed the rollout on the official forum, as spotted by the folks at Ytechb. Currently, the update is rolling out to testers via the OriginOS 6 trial program with the firmware version PD2323JF_EX_A_16.2.6.7.W30. It will soon expand to the remaining users.
The OriginOS 6 is a pretty significant update, weighing in at about 4.5GB for the Vivo V30. It’s best to download such hefty update packages over a stable Wi-Fi connection.
If you’re rocking a Vivo V30, check if an update is available on your device via the System updates section in the Settings app. If there isn’t one, you can apply for the trial version and get it sooner. For this, go to Settings > System update > settings/gear icon > Trial version > Update now > Download and install. Remember to charge your device to at least 40% before installing the update. You can also back up important data for additional protection.
Once you’ve upgraded to OriginOS 6, you’ll experience a fresh design, redesigned icons, and plenty of visual changes. It’s much more feature-rich, customizable, and smoother than Funtouch OS. The latest upgrade also introduces Origin Island, which offers real-time updates from supported elements and system features without opening them, along with multitasking support. OriginOS 6 also brings a redesigned Control Center, new clock styles, widgets, and stronger security features, among many upgrades. You can read the complete changelog here.
Well, this could be the last major upgrade for the Vivo V30. The device debuted in 2024 with Android 14 out of the box, and is expected to receive two OS updates at most. Vivo hasn’t officially confirmed the update policy for the Vivo V30, but since the V30 Pro promises just two OS updates, we can’t expect anything better for the regular model. Even if Android 16 is the last upgrade, security updates will keep coming in for a while.

Google has added a new feature to its AI assistant – Gemini task automation.This feature lets Gemini do tasks directly on your Android phone. It is first available on the Samsung Galaxy S26 series.
Before this, phone assistants could answer questions, set alarms, or open apps. But users still had to complete the task themselves. Now Gemini can go inside apps and do many steps for you.
For example, you can say, “Get me a ride to the City Mall.” Gemini will open a ride-hailing app, add the destination, and prepare the ride booking. You do not need to open the app or type the address.
Gemini can also help you order food. The AI will open a food delivery app, find the items, and add them to your cart if you want to order something to eat or drink. This makes ordering faster and easier.
The new system can also handle tasks that have many steps. Earlier, you had to give several commands like opening an app, searching for something, and choosing items. Now you can simply say what you want, and Gemini will do most of the work.
When Gemini starts working, you will get a notification on your phone. You can watch what it is doing on the screen or continue using your phone normally.
Google has also added a safety rule. Gemini cannot make payments on its own. It will prepare the order and take you to the final step.
Right now, this feature works with only a few types of apps. It is also launching first in the United States and South Korea. Google plans to expand this feature to more apps and more countries in the future.

Some smartphone users in Europe are unhappy after pre-ordering the SamsungGalaxy S26 Ultra. A few buyers say the phone became cheaper shortly after the pre-order period ended.
Samsung started pre-orders for the Galaxy S26 series on 25 February 2026 after its launch. Customers who pre-ordered the device were able to secure the phone before its official release. The Galaxy S26 series officially became available in stores on 11 March 2026.
However, one user recently shared their frustration online. According to the user, he pre-ordered the 16GB RAM and 1TB storage version of the Galaxy S26 Ultra for around €1,760. After the pre-order phase ended, the same model appeared to be about €100 cheaper.
The user questioned why people should pre-order if the phone later becomes cheaper. The user said it felt like the only benefit of pre-ordering was getting the phone earlier than others. The situation made users feel like the company made early buyers look foolish.
Pre-orders are usually meant to reward early customers.Many companies offer benefits such as early delivery, special discounts, free accessories, or trade-in offers to encourage people to order before the official release date.
But when the price drops soon after launch, some customers feel disappointed. Buyers who paid more during the pre-order stage may feel they did not get the best deal.
So far, Samsung has not made any official statement about these specific complaints. Meanwhile, the discussion continues online, with some users debating whether pre-ordering expensive smartphones is really worth it.

SamsungDisplay workers and the company’s management have agreed on a tentative pay raise for this year. The average increase will be 6.2%, which includes a 4.1% base raise and 2.1% extra based on performance.
Along with the pay raise, the agreement includes new benefits for workers. Employees could get a three-day special leave every five years. The company will also help workers without homes by offering housing support.
In addition, monthly fixed overtime hours will be reduced from 14 hours to 12 hours. Negotiations for the new pay deal started in January.If the agreement is approved by workers, it will be the fifth year in a row that Samsung Display has finished wage talks without any problems since 2022.
The next step is for the labor union to hold a vote. Union members will vote to approve or reject the agreement.If most workers vote yes, the deal will become official, and the new pay and benefits will start.
Union leaders said the deal is fair for both workers and the company. The pay raise and extra benefits are expected to make employees happier and more motivated. This agreement shows that Samsung Display and its workers are working well together.
The new deal will give workers more financial security, better working hours, and extra support for housing and leave.
AI has become the core of Samsung’s device ecosystem, and it’s wasting no time in shipping stock wallpapers with your mobile; instead, it’s giving new tools to let you create ones that reflect your imagination.
For example, One UI offers a generative AI wallpaper feature with templates and allows users to remix them to generate new wallpapers. On the other hand, the weather wallpaper sets a weather effect based on your location.
However, One UI 8.5 lets you dive deeper into the generative AI with Creative studio. Initially launched as Drawing Assist, the creative studio supports text prompts, which you can’t do with the Generative tool.
The interface is basically the same as the Creative studio, but integrated with wallpaper features. For example, once you generate an image, the screen will redirect you to set it as wallpaper, instead of saving it to the gallery.
How to create wallpapers with Creative Studio
Go to wallpapers and select the Create with AI section. Here, you will see the Creative studio. Tap on Create or select from the existing wallpapers and edit them instead.
Generating wallpapers with the Creative Studio tool in One UI 8.5
Creating a new wallpaper is easy; you need to select an art style in which your wallpaper will be generated. Then write the prompt. You can also sketch, draw, or choose an image from the Gallery.

Galaxy S26 Ultra lacks a dedicated 10x camera, but Samsung claims the 5x ALoP sensor offers optical-quality photos. It happens through software, but there’s a strange hack to get more natural photos at 10x magnification.
Samsung launched the Galaxy S26 Ultra with a quad camera setup and a new Ambient Island. The company introduced two enhanced sensors, which feature a larger aperture to let more light in and improve the photos.
If you’re a frequent 10x camera user, avoiding the 10x preset would bring better results. Samsung applied software-derived processing at 10x level. Staying under 10x (like 9.9x or 9.5x) ignores the 10x algorithm and offers better shots.
The technical reason behind the 10x drop in quality
The shift happens at a very specific moment. Move the zoom slider from 9.9x to 10x, and the camera changes behavior. Samsung’s software appears to trigger a different stage of computational processing once it detects 10x.
At 9.5x to 9.7x, the camera pipeline stays more restrained, discovered by IceUniverse. The sensor does most of the work. The result feels closer to a true optical capture, especially in
Simple trick for better Galaxy S26 Ultra zoom photos
During testing in 24MP mode, 9.5x consistently delivered cleaner detail, smoother textures, and far less aggressive sharpening. The moment the zoom slider clicks to 10x, the image processing changes character.
Fortunately, the workaround is easy. If you want the best results from the Galaxy S26 Ultra, follow this rule:
Stay between 5x and 9.9x zoom
Avoid tapping directly into the 10x preset. Instead, manually slide the zoom slightly below it.
For example:
5x to 9.5x often delivers the most natural detail
9.7x or 9.8x still looks great
10x is where the processing kicks in
After capturing the photo, you can crop slightly if needed. Because the 24MP mode retains strong detail, the final result often looks better than a native 10x shot.

Samsung launched an impressive set of official accessories for the Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra, including Qi2 Magnet Case, Charger and Stand, Magnet Battery pack.
Galaxy S26s are built to last in everyday usage. However, patching an accessory not just increases safety but also elevates the functional usability.
Here’s what Samsung has to offer:
Magnet Case Collection
Rugged Magnet Case
Since the phone lacks its own “snap,” the Rugged Magnet Case is the heavy hitter. It feels like a tank and features a massive magnetic ring that locks onto chargers with a satisfying click.
For those who hate hiding that new Titanium finish, the Clear Magnet and Clear Case options are available. The magnet version is the one you want, though the ring is visible on the back.
For the professionals, the Carbon Magnet Case and Slim Magnet Case offer a much thinner profile. The Carbon version is particularly impressive because it adds almost zero bulk while still providing that necessary magnetic interface.
Precision fit that only official Samsung gear gets right.
Carbon and Slim versions feel like part of the phone.
Cons:
You cannot use magnetic accessories with a naked phone.
The Clear Case ring can look a bit busy.
Charger, Stand, and Battery Pack
Magnet Wireless Battery Pack
This is the accessory that makes the “no internal magnets” pill easier to swallow. It snaps onto the back of any of the magnetic cases and provides a seamless power boost. It’s a lifesaver accessory if you’re going on a trip or picnic.
The real magic happens when you pair those cases with the new Charger and Stand. This is a dual-purpose unit that takes advantage of the 25W Qi2 speeds. It holds the S26 Ultra at a perfect angle for Always-On Display viewing while it juices up.
Note: Not all accessories are available for purchase right away.

Samsung has started selling its new Magnet Wireless Battery Pack globally, expanding its lineup of mobile charging accessories designed for the latest Galaxy smartphones.
The Samsung Magnet Wireless Battery Pack is designed primarily for the Galaxy S26 series and other Qi2-compatible devices. However, accessories such as magnetic cases are required because the Galaxy S26 series, including the Galaxy S26 Ultra, launched without built-in magnets. This means users will need a compatible magnetic case in order to use the snap-on attachment feature.
Once paired with a magnetic case, the power bank can attach to the back of the phone using magnetic alignment. The magnets ensure that the charger sits correctly on the device, helping maintain stable wireless charging without the need for cables or manual positioning.
Samsung has also integrated a fold-out kickstand into the back of the battery pack. The stand allows users to prop the phone up at a comfortable viewing angle while charging. This makes it useful for video calls, watching videos, gaming, or browsing while the device remains attached to the battery pack.
The accessory houses a 5,000mAh battery and supports wireless charging output of up to 15W when magnetically connected to compatible devices such as the Galaxy S26 Ultra, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26. The magnetic alignment helps maintain consistent power transfer while the device is in use.
In addition to wireless charging, the battery pack also supports wired charging through a USB Type-C port. The port offers up to 25W wired fast charging. This allows users to charge a device faster or charge two devices at the same time by using both wireless and wired charging simultaneously.
Samsung has released the Qi2 Magnet Wireless Battery Pack in a single gray color option. The box includes a short 0.2-meter USB-C cable.
Pricing & availability
The power bank is priced at $64.99 on Samsung’s official website. It is also listed on Amazon and Best Buy, although both retailers currently show it as out of stock. In the United Kingdom, it is available from Samsung UK and Amazon UK for £37.80, reduced from the original price of £54.

Xiaomi has revealed the design and key features of the upcoming Xiaomi Watch S5, a new sports smartwatch that focuses on durability, refined materials, and long battery life. The company says the watch will launch later this month.
The Xiaomi Watch S5 features a redesigned structure built around an integrated bezel and a forged 316L stainless steel body. This material is known for strong corrosion resistance and durability, helping the watch handle daily wear. The integrated bezel design also allows the body to be slimmer than previous models while keeping a solid and premium build.
Unlike earlier models that used modular parts, the Watch S5 uses a non-removable bezel. This helps reduce the border around the display and increases the visible screen area. The unibody bezel design also makes the watch thinner, which improves comfort when worn daily or with formal clothing.
Xiaomi will offer several bezel designs and finishes. Two key options are Midnight Blue and Forged Carbon. The Midnight Blue bezel uses ceramic material with white glazed time markers. It also features 24 carved facets that create a polished look. The Forged Carbon version uses a layered forging process that produces a unique texture and a more sporty appearance.
The smartwatch will also come in three stainless steel bezel versions. The black and silver variants have a clean design and are paired with fluororubber straps, which are suitable for sports and daily use. The silver eSIM model comes with a gray genuine leather strap for a more classic style.
The crown features a concentric-circle texture, adding detail to the design. Xiaomi also includes several watch faces inspired by traditional analog watches. These watch faces use elements such as Roman numerals and moon phase complications.
Xiaomi says the sensors on the Watch S5 have been fully upgraded to provide more accurate health monitoring. The watch can also function as a control center on the wrist, allowing users to control compatible smart home devices and connected cars. Battery life is another highlight. Xiaomi claims the Watch S5 can deliver up to 21 days of use on a single charge.
In China, the pricing is expected to be close to that of the previous Xiaomi Watch S4. The Bluetooth variant could start at around 999 yuan, while the eSIM model may be priced at approximately 1,199 yuan. Xiaomi has not shared any information about a global release yet. However, since the company recently launched the Xiaomi Watch 5 in global markets, the Xiaomi Watch S5 is also expected to arrive internationally in the coming months.

Xiaomi recently launched the Xiaomi 17 and Xiaomi 17 Ultra in India, and another device from the lineup could arrive soon. The Xiaomi 17T is expected to expand the series in the coming months. Earlier reports from tipster Abhishek Yadav suggested that the smartphone may launch in India by the end of April or sometime in May.
Xiaomi 17 in Pine Green
A new leak from tipster Debayan Roy, also known as Gadgetsdata, has now revealed additional details about the expected launch timeline and pricing. According to Roy, the Xiaomi 17T could launch in India within the next two to three months. The device is expected to be priced at around ₹55,000. The tipped price may include launch offers that Xiaomi usually provides during the initial sales period.
Reports indicate that Xiaomi may introduce the Xiaomi 17T alongside a higher-end Xiaomi 17T Pro model. However, only the standard Xiaomi 17T variant may arrive in the Indian market.
Both the Xiaomi 17T and Xiaomi 17T Pro are expected to feature Leica-tuned cameras. The phones are tipped to include a triple rear camera setup consisting of a 50MP primary sensor, a 12MP secondary sensor, and a 50MP telephoto sensor. The primary and telephoto sensors may differ between the two models. The Pro version is also expected to include a periscope telephoto camera. For selfies, both devices could feature a 32MP front camera.
The Xiaomi 17T is expected to run on the MediaTek Dimensity 8500 chipset and may pack a 6,500mAh battery with support for 67W fast charging. The Xiaomi 17T Pro is tipped to use the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 processor.
Reports also suggest that the Pro model may be based on the upcoming Redmi K90 Ultra, which is expected to launch in China in April. If accurate, the device could feature a 6.8-inch OLED display with 1.5K resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate. It may also include an 8,500mAh battery with 100W charging support, a built-in cooling fan, and an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor.

Samsung has gradually increased the battery capacity in its clamshell foldables over the past few generations. But that trend may pause with the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 8, according to a new leak.
A report from GalaxyClub suggests the next Flip will keep the same 4,300 mAh typical battery capacity found in the Galaxy Z Flip 7. That would mark the first time in a while that Samsung hasn’t bumped the battery size for its compact foldable.
Like previous Galaxy Z Flip models, the device is expected to rely on two separate battery cells working together. The leaked figures point to capacities of 1,150 mAh and 3,024 mAh, which combine for a rated capacity of 4,174 mAh. Samsung typically rounds this up to the advertised 4,300 mAh typical capacity.
Even though the overall capacity appears unchanged, the split between the two cells is slightly different from last year’s model. That could simply be the result of internal design changes as Samsung continues refining the Flip’s slim folding body.
Battery capacity staying the same doesn’t necessarily mean endurance will remain unchanged, however. The Galaxy Z Flip 8 is rumored to feature Samsung’s 2nm-based Exynos 2600 chipset, which could offer a significant boost in power efficiency over the 3nm-based Exynos 2500 used in the Z Flip 7. Early tests also suggest the Exynos 2600 offers better thermal behavior under heavier workloads such as gaming or multitasking.
Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy Z Flip 8 sometime in July 2026, likely during its usual summer Galaxy Unpacked event. The phone should launch alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 8, continuing the company’s yearly foldable refresh cycle.
Pricing details remain unclear for now, though Samsung has generally tried to keep its Flip lineup relatively stable in price.
For now, the leaked battery information suggests the Flip 8 may focus more on efficiency and internal refinements rather than a straightforward capacity upgrade. Whether that translates into noticeably better battery life will depend largely on how Samsung balances the Exynos 2600’s performance and power consumption.
Saltwater, crashing waves, and intense sun create one of the harshest environments for any wristwatch. While many modern smartwatches now offer strong water resistance, ocean conditions introduce additional challenges such as corrosion, impact, and extreme temperature shifts.
Nearly 90% of modern smartwatches now offer at least 50 m water resistance, reflecting the growing demand for water-ready wearables, especially since more than 60% of buyers consider water protection a key buying factor. While professional dive watches are typically rated for 200–300 m and tested under ISO 6425 diving standards, improvements in materials and sealing technology are making modern smartwatches increasingly capable in demanding water environments.
Materials and Corrosion Resistance
Saltwater is highly corrosive, making case materials and protective components critical for durability. Titanium is widely used in both premium smartwatches and dive watches because it is about 40–45% lighter than stainless steel while maintaining excellent strength. Its natural oxide layer helps protect against corrosion in seawater.
Stainless steel, typically 316L or 904L, remains a popular choice due to its durability and strong resistance to rust. While prolonged exposure to saltwater may eventually cause surface pitting, proper care and rinsing can significantly reduce this risk.
Modern watch construction also benefits from sapphire crystal, which is extremely scratch-resistant and helps protect the display from sand, rocks, or equipment impacts. Ceramic bezels provide additional resistance to scratches, UV exposure, and saltwater corrosion.
In marine environments, strap materials also matter. Smartwatches frequently use fluoroelastomer, silicone, or nylon straps designed to resist saltwater degradation, while dive watches commonly rely on rubber or marine-grade silicone.
Saltwater Exposure and Seal Engineering
Saltwater exposure requires careful maintenance regardless of watch type. After swimming or surfing, rinsing the watch with fresh water helps remove salt residue. When seawater dries, salt crystals can form abrasive particles that slowly wear down seals and materials.
Smartwatches rely on compact micro-sealing systems to protect sensitive electronics such as sensors, batteries, and processors. Advances in sealing technology have significantly improved water resistance in recent years, allowing devices to operate reliably during swimming and other water-based activities.
Dive watches use a different sealing approach, relying on thicker O-ring gaskets and screw-down crowns to create a stronger mechanical barrier against water pressure. These components can also be replaced during routine servicing, helping dive watches from brands like Futurewristtech maintain reliable water resistance over extended periods of use.
Impact and Environmental Durability
Ocean sports expose watches to repeated shocks, drops, and environmental stress. Many modern smartwatches are tested for shock, vibration, and temperature extremes and can survive drops of around 1.2 meters along with simulated impact tests.
However, smartwatches also incorporate advanced electronics, sensors, and connectivity features that require compact internal engineering. Manufacturers increasingly design these components to withstand active lifestyles and water sports.
Dive watches are mechanically simpler and are traditionally built for extreme underwater use. Their robust cases and fewer fragile components allow them to handle heavy impacts and prolonged underwater exposure.
Heat Resistance and Environmental Stress
Temperature fluctuations also affect watch performance. Smartwatches typically operate within a range of around 0 °C to 35 °C, while rugged models can function from approximately –20 °C to 55 °C. Extreme heat, such as direct sunlight, saunas, or hot car interiors, can accelerate battery wear or stress internal seals.
Mechanical dive watches often tolerate wider ranges, typically between –30 °C and +80 °C. Their thicker gaskets and specialized lubricants help them withstand rapid transitions between hot surfaces and cold ocean water.

Huawei has introduced a new portable networking device aimed at users who depend heavily on reliable mobile connectivity. Called the Wi-Fi X, the device is essentially a high-performance mobile router designed with live streamers, travelers, and remote workers in mind.
One of the more unusual aspects of the device is its foldable X-shaped design. When opened, the router forms a raised, cross-style structure that helps position its antennas more effectively. According to Huawei, this design can improve signal strength by about 13%.
Battery life is another highlight. The router includes a 12,000mAh battery, which Huawei says can deliver up to 24 hours of continuous internet use on a single device. That capacity should make it useful for extended live streaming sessions or long workdays away from a stable connection.
Huawei is positioning the Wi-Fi X as a tool built with creators in mind. The company claims it offers smoother live streaming in weak-signal environments and enough bandwidth for 4K live broadcasts or quick transfers of large files.
The networking hardware is fairly ambitious for a portable router. Huawei says the Wi-Fi X uses a 4T4R (four-transmitter, four-receiver) setup, paired with triple-carrier aggregation and 16 built-in cellular antennas designed to provide 360-degree coverage. In ideal conditions, the device can reportedly reach download speeds of up to 5.3Gbps and upload speeds around 1Gbps.
To keep performance consistent during heavy use, Huawei has also added an advanced cooling system that relies on dual-layer graphene and high-conductivity materials to dissipate heat.
The company worked with China Mobile to offer a dedicated network service optimized for the device. This includes several priority features intended to improve reliability during tasks like live streaming.
The WiFi X has a price tag of 2499 yuan (~$364) and will be sold with three data-plan bundles through China Mobile:
200GB monthly plan: 199 yuan (~$29)
350GB monthly plan: 299 yuan (~$44)
500GB monthly plan: 399 yuan (~$58)
Availability is currently limited to China. Huawei has not confirmed whether the Wi-Fi X will reach other markets, though a broader release remains possible later on.
This is the all-new HONOR Magic V6, the brand’s latest foldable flagship. What caught me off guard immediately was its release timeline. Launching a full quarter earlier than last year’s Magic V5 and making a global debut at MWC 2026, HONOR is clearly playing a different game this year. This raises an interesting question: Why is HONOR doubling down on the foldable market with such aggressive timing? Today, we’re diving deep to see what this device is truly capable of.
https://youtu.be/Warnofc5IU0
Design
From a design perspective, the Magic V6 doesn’t reinvent the wheel. It confidently refines the brand’s signature, unified design language with targeted upgrades. Our review unit features a sophisticated Champagne Gold finish—a subtle blend of gold and light brown that exudes understated elegance. It’s a color that prioritizes premium tactility over flashy, limited-edition hues, and personally, I find it far more appealing.
We measured the chassis thickness at precisely 9.6mm. While it’s marginally thicker than its predecessor, the Magic V5, the ergonomic, rounded frame makes this difference virtually imperceptible in daily use. Holding it feels remarkably close to a traditional slab flagship, shedding the bulk and heft typically associated with foldables. This is a significant achievement.
The rear camera module retains the iconic “Octagonal Star Track” design language first seen on the Magic V5. This year, the metal decorative ring has been slimmed down, creating a smoother, more seamless transition between the module and the back cover. As you tilt the device, light catches the precision-machined details on the module, showcasing a mechanical accuracy befitting its flagship status. Subjectively, the camera bump feels more restrained than the V5’s, contributing to a stronger sense of backplate unity and a cleaner, more modern aesthetic from every angle.
Weight distribution remains a highlight. Coupled with those rounded edges, the Magic V6 is supremely comfortable for one-handed use and disappears into a pocket during your daily commute. Furthermore, HONOR has addressed a previous shortcoming by introducing comprehensive water resistance. Whether it’s an unexpected splash or use in light rain, the Magic V6 offers enhanced durability and peace of mind.
Display
Both the internal and external displays on the Magic V6 boast top-tier flagship specifications. The main foldable screen is a expansive panel with a 2352×2172 resolution, constructed from UTG (Ultra-Thin Glass). It features a 1-120Hz LTPO adaptive refresh rate, intelligently adjusting to the on-screen content. It scales down for static documents to conserve battery and ramps up to a buttery-smooth 120Hz for videos and gaming, striking an excellent balance between visual fluidity and power efficiency.
Regarding the crease—a primary concern for any foldable—the Magic V6 has genuinely exceeded my expectations. After a week of intensive use, and comparing it to our unboxing footage, the crease remains remarkably shallow, even when viewed under harsh, angled light. During normal, head-on use, it’s virtually invisible. This durability is noticeably superior to other mainstream foldables after a similar period of use.
HONOR continues to lead in eye comfort technology. Both displays support ultra-high frequency PWM dimming. In extremely low-light conditions, it automatically switches to a high-frequency dimming mode, effectively reducing eye strain caused by screen flicker. For users sensitive to PWM, the Magic V6’s display offers a significantly more comfortable viewing experience.
Camera System
The most surprising upgrade on the Magic V6 is arguably its camera system, which completely shatters the notion that foldable phones require compromise in photography.
Leading the charge is a powerful 200MP main sensor. Its exceptional resolving power captures an incredible amount of detail. Even after significant cropping during post-processing, images remain sharp and crisp. In low-light scenarios, the large sensor’s light-gathering prowess is fully utilized, enhanced by OIS (Optical Image Stabilization). The resulting night shots are clean, bright, and remarkably free of visible noise.
The periscope telephoto lens supports multiple levels of optical zoom, delivering outstanding image quality even at 3x and 6x zoom. However, at the 6x zoom level, AI processing becomes quite prominent. For landscapes or architectural shots, the results are excellent. But when photographing text, especially indoors, the processing can introduce minor artifacts.
Compared to the class-leading rear cameras, the front-facing camera performs adequately, meeting the needs of daily video calls and online meetings with clear imaging, in line with the standard for foldable devices.
Performance & Battery
Performance follows a predictable yet powerful upgrade path. The Magic V6 is powered by the latest Qualcomm flagship processor, the Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5. Standard memory and storage configurations have also been bumped up from 12+256GB to a more generous 16+512GB.
Powering the device is a massive 7150mAh “Qinghai Lake” high-density battery, making it one of the highest-capacity batteries found in any foldable smartphone globally. It’s worth noting that the international version sees a slight reduction in capacity. Even so, it will still offer a significant capacity advantage over competitors like Samsung. However, charging speeds remain largely unchanged from the previous generation, supporting 80W wired fast charging and 50W wireless charging.
Conclusion: The All-Rounder to Beat
In my view, the HONOR Magic V6 stands out as a foldable flagship with virtually no weaknesses. It is arguably one of the most compelling foldable devices on the market in early 2026. While its surprise early launch caught some off guard and the body is marginally thicker than its predecessor, the overall package is incredibly solid and refined.
With competitors like OPPO and Samsung set to launch their own new foldables, the current leaks and rumors suggest they will have a tough time beating this “all-rounder” device. The Magic V6’s greatest strength is its uncompromised, holistic user experience. The final, and perhaps only, variable left is the pricing strategy. Based on HONOR’s track record, they are unlikely to disappoint.
In the past few months, Honor has launched three 10,000mAh battery phones in China, and now it is said to be working on a phone that will be 3,000mAh bigger than these existing models. The device, believed to be called the Honor X80 GT, is said to feature a battery capacity far beyond what most smartphones currently offer. Here’s a look at what to expect from this phone.
Honor X80 GT could set a new benchmark for battery capacity
Honor X60 GT
According to a Chinese publication, the upcoming Honor X80 GT may feature a massive 13,080mAh battery. If this claim proves correct, it will place the device among the largest battery capacities ever seen in a mainstream smartphone. Most current flagship phones from brands such as Apple, Samsung, and Google generally ship with batteries close to the 5,000mAh mark.
The rumored capacity is significantly higher than even Honor’s recent devices that focus on long battery endurance. For instance, the recently introduced Honor Win carries a 10,000mAh battery, while the Honor Power 2 features a slightly larger 10,080mAh unit. The alleged X80 GT would push that figure even further, potentially making it one of the most power-packed phones in its category.
The publication also states that the device is equipped with 80W fast charging and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip. It may come with an 8,000-nit bright OLED panel like the Honor Power 2. For photography, it may feature an OIS-enabled Sony large-sensor camera.
The last time Honor’s X-series phone included a GT-branded model was the Honor X60 GT, which debuted with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip back in April 2022. The Honor X70 series did not include a GT model. It now appears that the X80 lineup may bring back the GT variant.
Reports suggest that the handset may debut sometime in the first half of the year. Until Honor officially confirms the device, the battery specification and other details should be treated as early information rather than final specifications.

Readers should note that the names Oppo Pad Mini and OnePlus Pad Mini are currently tentative and have not been officially confirmed.
Oppo Find X9s Pro variants, color options
Just recently, the tipster revealed several key specifications of the Oppo Find X9s Pro. In a new update, he has now shared details about its possible storage configurations and colour variants. The device is said to be available in configurations such as 12GB+256GB, 12GB+512GB, 16GB+512GB, and 16GB+1TB.

Reports suggest that iQOO could change its smartphone launch strategy in India this year. The development may impact the arrival of the iQOO Neo 11, which was announced in China last year and is typically expected to reach India later.
iQOO Neo 11 may skip India launch in 2026
iQOO Neo 11
According to a report by Gadgets360 citing sources familiar with the matter, iQOO may not introduce any new Neo series smartphone in India in 2026. If the information proves accurate, the iQOO Neo 11 may not arrive in the country despite its earlier debut in China in October 2025.
The Neo lineup has traditionally served as iQOO’s upper mid-range offering in India. These devices usually combine near-flagship processors, high refresh rate displays and fast charging capabilities at relatively competitive prices. The last models from the series in India were the iQOO Neo 10R, which launched in March 2025 starting at Rs 26,999 (~$290), followed by the iQOO Neo 10 that debuted later at Rs 31,999 (~$350).
The report suggests that the decision is part of a broader shift in strategy as smartphone brands deal with rising component costs and increasing device prices. Companies are increasingly focusing on clearer product differentiation rather than maintaining several overlapping lineups.
Instead of launching a new Neo phone, iQOO is said to be strengthening its flagship-focused approach. The company recently expanded its premium lineup with the iQOO 15R in India, which targets professionals and power users with high-performance hardware.
Meanwhile, the iQOO Neo 11 that debuted in China features a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset along with the brand’s Q2 gaming chip. It also offers a 6.82-inch LTPO AMOLED display, a 7,500mAh battery with 100W wired fast charging support, and a dual rear camera system.
While the Neo lineup may take a break in India this year, iQOO continues to introduce new devices in other segments. The company recently launched the iQOO 15R and Z11x phones in India.

Android 17 development is in full swing. Google has already released two beta builds in a short time, and with the improved development cycle, the final version is expected to arrive as early as the second quarter.
The stable release is still a few months away, but Google Pixel users can install the beta build right now to play with the latest features and upgrades, but only if you have an eligible device. Review the list below to find out if your Google Pixel is eligible for an upgrade to Android 17.
These Google Pixels are eligible for the Android 17 update
Pixel 10
Pixel 10 Pro
Pixel 10 Pro XL
Pixel 10 Pro Fold
Pixel 10a

It’s worth pointing out that Google hasn’t included the Pixel 10a on the list of eligible devices for the beta program. That’s likely because it was released after the Android 17 Beta 2 went live, and Google may not have updated the list since then. The Pixel 10a should be supported by the next beta release, which could arrive later this month.
Unfortunately, this will be the last major Android OS upgrade for the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, as their update support ends in October. That also means these Google Pixels will likely miss out on the QPR2 release. Still, it’s impressive to see them included on the Android 17 list, given that they were launched with Android 12. That’s a solid five Android OS upgrades in total.
Google’s Android 17 release timeline
The first beta was released on February 13, and Google quickly followed up with the second beta in the same month. The platform stability phase begins this month, per the official timeline. That’s when SDK/NDK APIs and app-facing behaviors are finalized.
The final version of Android 17 could arrive around June 2026. If you can’t wait that long, sign up for the beta testing and install it on your device. You can read this article for detailed instructions.

Samsung is widely expected to launch the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 this year, to mark its predecessor's two-year anniversary. The most likely scenario is it being unveiled alongside the Galaxy Z Flip8 and Galaxy Z Fold8. The Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 was recently rumored to employ the just-announced Snapdragon Wear Elite SoC, which would differentiate the Ultra further from the Galaxy Watch9 it's supposedly launching with (as that model would keep using the Exynos W1000 also seen in the Galaxy Watch8 and Watch7).

Before you go ahead and celebrate the fact that you can use Google Maps when you only have satellite connectivity,...
Honor's Robot Phone is still more of a concept device than an actual product, but the company has promised it's going to be launching by the end of this year. It's not a robot, it's a phone with a three-axis gimbal for (we assume) the main camera. There are still no specs of any kind, Honor has only done a few demos here and there with very limited functionality.
According to a new rumor out of China, the Robot Phone will be launching in the third quarter of the year, so between July and September. Given the state of the prototypes shown at MWC earlier this month, we'd wager it will be...

While the company hasn’t officially confirmed the phone yet, tipster Digital Chat Station has already spilled the beans on its specifications.
Oppo Find X9s Pro Specifications
According to the insider, the rumored Find X9s Pro may feature a 6.32-inch flat display supplied by Tianma. The panel is said to have a 1.5K resolution and use LTPS technology, paired with LIPO packaging to keep the bezels thin.
Powering the device will be the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset. As for the cameras, the leak suggests that the Find X9s Pro may include two separate 200-megapixel sensors.
Oppo Find X9s Pro Render
The primary camera is said to use a 200MP Samsung HP5 sensor with a 1/1.56-inch size. That’s paired with another 200MP HP5 sensor in a 3x periscope telephoto setup.
Alongside those sensors, the phone is also rumored to include:
a 50MP ultra-wide camera
a 3.2MP Danxia color restoration lens
a 32MP front-facing camera
The Danxia color restoration sensor is expected to improve color accuracy in photos.
All of this is said to be backed by a battery larger than 7,000mAh. Charging speeds are expected to reach 80W wired, and the device may also support wireless charging.
The phone is also tipped to include IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance. Security could rely on a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint scanner. Last but not least, the tipster suggests the device will have an orange magnetic case, and the device has a very Apple feel.
For now, these specifications remain part of a leak and should be treated cautiously. Oppo has not officially confirmed the Find X9s Pro or its hardware yet.

Hisense has announced its 2026 ULED MiniLED TV lineup with new models in the U6 and U7 Series. The company says the new range focuses on delivering MiniLED performance, large screen sizes, and modern features at more accessible prices. The U7 Series is available starting today, while the U6 Series will begin reaching retailers in the coming weeks.
The new lineup comes ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026, which will take place in the United States. Hisense expects the event to drive interest in larger televisions for watching sports at home. The ULED category, which includes the U6 and U7 models, sits in the middle of Hisense’s TV portfolio in terms of performance and pricing. The company will later introduce an RGB MiniLED Series as its ultra-premium tier above the ULED range.
The U7 Series is positioned as the higher-performance option in the lineup. It is built for sports viewing, gaming, and large-screen home entertainment. The TVs use thousands of MiniLED backlights to control brightness and contrast more precisely. The display is powered by Hi-QLED MiniLED Pro technology with Full Array Local Dimming and the Hi-View AI Engine Pro, which manages picture processing across sports broadcasts, movies, and streaming content.
Motion handling is a key feature of the U7 Series. The TVs include a native 165Hz refresh rate along with motion processing designed to keep fast action smooth during sports and gaming. This helps reduce blur and maintain clear movement during high-speed scenes.
Screen sizes in the U7 lineup reach up to 116 inches. Hisense says the large display options are designed for shared viewing, such as watching live sports or movies with a group. Audio is handled by a 50W 2.1.2 channel sound system that supports Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual:X. The system is designed to deliver room-filling sound without requiring additional speakers.
The U7 Series will be available in two smart TV versions. The U7SG models run Google TV, while the U7SF models use Fire TV.
The U6 Series focuses on bringing MiniLED technology to a wider range of buyers. The lineup includes the U6SF Pro and the standard U6SF models. These TVs use Hi-QLED MiniLED displays with Full Array Local Dimming and Quantum Dot color to improve brightness, contrast, and color accuracy across different types of content.
The U6 models also include AI-driven picture optimization that automatically adjusts image settings depending on what is being watched. Sound is improved through an integrated subwoofer and support for Dolby Atmos. Screen sizes in the U6 lineup range from 55 inches to 100 inches. All models in the series run Fire TV OS.
Pricing & availability
The U7 Series starts at $1,299 and is available through retailers including Best Buy, Amazon, Walmart, and other partners. The U6 and U6 Pro Series will roll out in the coming weeks with multiple size and model options.

The product targets frequent travelers and business users with a focus on convenience and functionality.

Which One Should You Buy?
If you’re looking for a powerful tablet with a better display, flagship-level performance, and advanced productivity features, the Xiaomi Pad 8 is the clear winner.

Honor could be preparing an unusual compact flagship if a new leak is accurate. According to well-known Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station, the company is testing a smartphone with a 6.36-inch display paired with an unusually large battery for its size.
Honor Magic 8 Pro
The device is said to feature a flat 6.36-inch display, putting it firmly in the compact flagship category alongside the upcoming OnePlus 15T. What makes the rumored Honor phone stand out, however, is its roughly 8,000mAh battery. If accurate, it could represent a significant jump in runtime over some already impressive numbers we saw last year.
For context, phones released in 2025 in this size range — such as the Vivo X300, Xiaomi 17 Pro, and OnePlus 13T — carry batteries between 6,000mAh and 6,300mAh. Rumors surrounding the upcoming OnePlus 15T suggest a 7,500mAh battery, which is still notably smaller than what the Honor phone is rumored to pack.
The large capacity comes from improvements in silicon-carbon battery technology that Honor has achieved over the past few years. It has already allowed the company to pack a massive 10,000mAh battery into the Honor Win, a 6.83-inch smartphone. The device reportedly delivered more than 32 hours of Wi-Fi web browsing in tests.
Beyond battery life, the leak also points to a few flagship-grade features for the upcoming compact flagship. The phone is expected to include wireless charging, an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, and a periscope telephoto camera for improved zoom capabilities. The exact model name is still unclear. It could belong to the Magic series, though it remains speculation for now.
There’s still no word on the chipset, display refresh rate, charging speeds, or launch timeline. But the leak comes not long after Honor introduced the Honor Magic V6 in China, suggesting the company may be preparing its next wave of flagship devices. For users who want smaller phones without sacrificing battery life, this could be one to watch if the details prove accurate.
As the Galaxy S26 series hits shelves, Samsung has shifted its focus back to the One UI 8.5 beta program, which began in December 2025. For a long time, it remained exclusive to the Galaxy S25 series, but that changed today, as the brand has just released the first One UI 8.5 beta for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7.
We knew it was coming. Earlier this week, One UI 8.5 beta builds for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 were spotted on Samsung’s servers, and shortly after, Samsung created One UI 8.5 beta program sections for the devices on its community forum.
For the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7, the first One UI 8.5 beta comes with a firmware version ending in ZZC5 (via) and a hefty download size of 4.2GB. As of writing this post, the beta has been spotted in India and South Korea. It will also expand to a few more regions, including the US, the UK, Poland, and Germany.
If you’re rocking either of these foldable phones, you may have a chance to get early access to the latest features and upgrades in One UI 8.5. For this, you’ll need to sign up for the One UI 8.5 beta program, as mentioned in the following section.
Keep in mind that beta builds may contain bugs and broken features. If you are okay with that, follow these steps to get the One UI 8.5 beta on your device.
First step: Enroll in the One UI 8.5 beta program
Open the Samsung Members app on your phone.
Make sure you’re signed in to the app with your Samsung account.
Tap on the One UI Beta Program banner. If you don’t see this, the beta program isn’t currently available for your device.
After tapping on the beta banner, accept the terms and conditions to enroll in the beta program.
Second step: Download and install the update
Go to Settings > Software updates and tap Download and install.
Once the download is completed, tap Install now.
It’s a major upgrade, so the installation time may be longer. After upgrading to One UI 8.5, you may notice higher battery usage in the first few days. This is completely normal as the device undergoes background optimization after every feature upgrade.
We’ll keep updating you with the latest developments around One UI in our Samsung section. You can visit the section regularly for the latest updates. Alternatively, you can join our Telegram channel to get instant notifications about the latest software updates and breaking tech news.
Energizer is preparing to re-enter the smartphone spotlight with the Energizer P30K Apex, a rugged handset built around one standout feature: an enormous 30,000mAh battery. The device appears to target users who prioritize endurance over slim design.
If the specifications hold true, the P30K Apex could easily rank among the longest-lasting smartphones on the market. Energizer claims the phone can last up to a month on standby or light mixed use, thanks to its massive battery capacity. For perspective, that’s roughly equivalent to the combined capacity of around seven iPhone 17 Pro batteries. While real-world results will obviously vary depending on how heavily the device is used, it still represents a dramatic jump compared to the typical 4,000–7,000mAh batteries found in most smartphones today.
The phone supports 66W fast charging over USB-C. That should at least keep recharge times somewhat reasonable, even though filling a 30,000mAh cell will still require patience.
Beyond the battery, the hardware is fairly capable for a midrange rugged device. The P30K Apex reportedly runs on MediaTek’s Dimensity 7300 chipset, paired with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. This combination should handle everyday apps, multitasking, and moderate gaming fairly well.
On the front, the phone features a large 6.95-inch IPS display with a 2460 × 1080 resolution. Camera hardware also looks surprisingly ambitious. The rear setup includes a 200MP main sensor, alongside 50MP and 5MP secondary cameras, while selfies are handled by a 50MP front camera. As with many high-resolution sensors, the real-world results will depend heavily on processing, but the numbers certainly stand out on paper.
Durability is another key focus. The P30K Apex carries an IP69K rating, meaning it should withstand dust, water, and high-pressure conditions. The phone is aimed at workers, travelers, and outdoor enthusiasts.
