Researchers at MIT have found an unexpected way to make use of something electronics usually try hard to get rid of: heat. Instead of treating excess heat as a problem, the team showed that it can be used to carry out certain mathematical operations on its own, without any additional electrical power.

The work focuses on silicon structures that are only about the size of a dust particle. These structures don’t contain transistors or moving parts. Instead, they rely entirely on how heat naturally flows through solid material. According to the researchers, that flow can be shaped carefully enough to perform matrix-vector multiplication, a core operation used in many machine-learning models.

The study was led by MIT undergraduate Caio Silva, working with research scientist Giuseppe Romano. In simulations, the heat-based structures were able to carry out the calculations with accuracy above 99 percent

Here’s how it works

The key idea is that temperature differences act as inputs, and the resulting heat diffusion produces the output automatically.

To make this work, the researchers used a design approach known as inverse design. Rather than sketching the structures manually, they defined the mathematical operation they wanted and let software generate complex silicon geometries that would guide heat in just the right way. Many of these designs end up looking irregular and porous, but every feature plays a role in controlling how heat spreads. Because heat can only flow from hot regions to cooler ones, the team also had to split calculations into positive and negative parts and process them separately.

This isn’t meant to replace conventional processors. Heat moves much more slowly than electrical signals, and the structures can only perform fixed operations. But the idea could be useful in very specific situations, such as passive thermal sensing, on-chip temperature mapping, or simple signal processing that doesn’t justify extra power consumption.

As Silva noted, most electronic systems see heat as wasted energy. This work takes the opposite view and asks whether that heat can be made to do something useful before it disappears.

It’s still early research, but it offers a different way of thinking about computation, one where heat isn’t just a side effect, but part of the process itself.

The EV industry has reached a quiet but important milestone. For the first time, a mass-produced passenger EV is set to use a sodium-ion battery, a technology long discussed but never deployed at this scale. The car in question is the Changan Nevo A06, developed by Changan Automobile and powered by batteries from CATL.

The announcement follows extensive winter testing in Inner Mongolia, where temperatures regularly drop well below what most EVs are designed to handle. According to the companies involved, the Nevo A06 was able to charge normally at around -30°C and continued operating at temperatures as low as -50°C. At -40°C, the battery reportedly retained more than 90% of its original capacity, a level of performance that is difficult to achieve with conventional lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries.

The vehicle uses CATL’s Naxtra sodium-ion battery pack, which the company says is the first of its kind certified for use in passenger cars. The initial version has a capacity of 45 kWh and delivers a claimed range of just over 400 km on China’s CLTC test cycle.

On paper, that puts it close to entry-level LFP-based EVs, but with far better cold-weather behavior. CATL says the pack can deliver several times more power than comparable LFP batteries at sub-zero temperatures, helping maintain acceleration and cabin heating without heavy range loss.

Sodium-ion batteries have drawn attention partly because they avoid lithium altogether. Sodium is cheaper, more abundant, and less vulnerable to supply-chain disruptions. Safety is another factor: CATL says the Naxtra cells are far more resistant to thermal runaway and have passed extreme abuse tests without catching fire.

CATL describes this as the beginning of a “dual-chemistry” phase for EVs, where sodium-ion and lithium-ion batteries coexist depending on climate, cost, and use case. The Nevo A06 is expected to launch in China around mid-2026, with sodium-ion packs eventually spreading across Changan’s wider lineup.

For now, this remains a China-focused rollout. Still, it’s a clear signal that sodium-ion batteries are no longer just a lab experiment. In cold regions especially, they may soon offer a practical alternative to lithium-based EVs, without the usual compromises.

Motorola looks set to update its TWS lineup, with a new leak pointing to what appears to be the Moto Buds 2 Plus. The earbuds haven’t been announced yet, but fresh renders suggest the company is sticking close to a formula that already worked.

The images published by Android Headlines show the Moto Buds 2 Plus in blue and white finishes. At a glance, the earbuds themselves don’t look drastically different from the previous Moto Buds Plus, which hints that Motorola is aiming for refinement rather than a full redesign.

One detail that stands out is the continued “Sound by Bose” branding. The partnership with Bose was one of the stronger points of the original model, particularly for tuning and noise cancellation, and it appears Motorola isn’t moving away from that strategy. While there’s no confirmation yet on specific audio features, it’s reasonable to expect similar sound characteristics, possibly with some quiet improvements under the hood.

The earbuds keep a stem-style design, which remains popular for both comfort and call quality. The bigger visual change shows up in the charging case. Instead of the flat, horizontal layout used earlier, the Moto Buds 2 Plus appear to store vertically. It also suggests Motorola may be trying to slim down the case profile a bit.

Pricing details haven’t been confirmed, but current expectations put the Moto Buds 2 Plus around the $199.99 mark, roughly where the previous generation launched. If that holds, it would keep the earbuds positioned as a relatively accessible premium option, especially compared to higher-priced models from Sony, Apple, or Bose itself.

Motorola hasn’t commented on the leak, which isn’t unusual at this stage. Still, the fact that these renders are coming from established sources, including Evan Blass, suggests the product is well along in development. Launch timing remains unclear, but this doesn’t look like something that’s far off.

Xiaomi’s experimental magnetic camera lens module might be inching closer to reality. According to recent rumors, the company has begun early manufacturing work on the detachable lens system that first appeared as a concept at MWC 2025.

The blogger Digital Chat Station recently claims that “the magnetic lens has started mass production and could be seen as early as this year (TBD).” While the post didn’t name a specific manufacturer, the most likely candidate is the modular optical system Xiaomi teased alongside the Xiaomi 15 series.

Lei Jun demonstrated the setup during Xiaomi 15 series launch event. At the time, it was described as an internal pre-research project, but it drew significant attention from both the smartphone and camera industries.

Xiaomi’s magnetic camera specifications

At its core, the system is a magnetically detachable lens built around a custom Micro Four Thirds (M4/3) sensor and an aspherical lens group. Xiaomi says it can deliver a full 100-megapixel resolution, an equivalent 35mm focal length, and a bright f/1.4 aperture.

That f/1.4 aperture should make it a low-light standout, while the classic 35mm field of view offers a perspective closer to the human eye, ideal for portraits and street photography, with more natural-looking background blur.

More importantly, Xiaomi says the modular optical system uses near-instant laser data transmission at speeds of up to 10Gbps, enabling lossless RAW transfer between the lens and the phone.

The system can also tap into Xiaomi’s AISP computational photography stack, powered by a large on-device model. The company claims this unlocks features like UltraRAW capture and up to 16 stops of dynamic range.

There’s no complicated wiring or pairing involved, and the lens doesn’t need a separate battery. It simply snaps onto the phone and is compact enough to carry around without much hassle.

If Xiaomi can deliver on its promises, the real-world experience could even outpace some traditional Micro Four Thirds setups, especially with AI-driven image processing in the mix.

• AI systems now plan tasks while humans carry them out in the real world.
  
• Work is shifting toward fast, on-demand jobs assigned directly by software.
  
• The platform hints at a future where human labor will work for automated systems and machines.

---

RentAHuman.ai is a newly launched platform that allows AI agents to hire humans to perform real-world and online tasks. It describes itself as an “interface layer connecting AI with the real world.” The idea is simple: AI can plan and decide, but humans can act physically and get paid for it.

Why It Was Created

The project was built by software engineer Alexander Liteplo and co-founder Patricia Tani. Liteplo said the idea was driven by anxiety over tech layoffs and the fear that AI could reduce human jobs. RentAHuman.ai aims to create new types of work as AI systems grow more capable. The provocative name was chosen to spark attention and debate.

How the Platform Works

Humans sign up by creating profiles that list their skills, availability, response time, and hourly rates. Payments are handled through cryptocurrency wallets. AI agents can browse these profiles and directly request tasks. From the AI’s point of view, hiring a human works like calling a cloud service.

Types of Tasks

Tasks range from physical errands, such as picking up registered mail, delivering flowers, or photographing locations, to online work like social media engagement or coordination tasks. Some small jobs pay as little as $2–$10, while others are priced hourly.

Safety and Moderation

Early concerns included risky crypto-related tasks. The founders say such content is being removed through manual moderation, though safeguards remain limited.

The platform recently went viral on social media and was covered by Business Insider. Its rise mirrors interest in AI agent ecosystems and raises a larger question: are humans becoming on-demand infrastructure for machines?

The Bigger Question

As AI systems take on more planning and decision-making, humans are increasingly positioned as executors of specific tasks inside automated workflows. If people keep control over pricing, task choice, and safety, this model could offer flexible income in an unstable job market. If not, human work risks becoming interchangeable and purely on-demand. 

The platform doesn’t define the future of work, but it clearly shows where things may be heading as the physical world becomes more programmable through AI, and humans might now start working for machines.

Asus has launched its flagship ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM Gen3 gaming monitor (aka ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM3) in China ahead of its planned Q1 release. The 32-inch display is priced at CNY 8,499 ($1,225), below the previously announced $1,299 US price point, suggesting regional pricing variations.

The PG32UCDM Gen3 features a 32-inch 4K QD-OLED panel based on Samsung’s display technology. It supports a 240Hz refresh rate and a 0.03ms response time. These specs place it firmly in the high-end segment for competitive gaming, while also making it suitable for content creation and professional work that benefits from high resolution and strong color performance.

The biggest upgrade in this generation is the new Black Shield Film. Asus says this added layer improves black levels in bright rooms, where QD-OLED panels can struggle. The company claims it reduces the purple tint that can appear under strong ambient light and improves perceived black depth by up to 40 percent. The screen also has an anti-reflective coating and higher scratch resistance for better durability during daily use.

Connectivity has been updated as well. The monitor now supports DisplayPort 2.1 UHBR20, alongside HDMI 2.1 for modern consoles and high-end GPUs. A USB-C port with 90W power delivery is included, allowing laptops to connect, charge, and transfer data using a single cable.

Other features include NVIDIA G-SYNC compatibility, Dolby Vision support, a built-in KVM switch, and Asus OLED Care tools designed to reduce burn-in over time. The monitor is now certified for VESA DisplayHDR 500 True Black, up from HDR 400 on the previous model.

Highlights:

• Galaxy S26 series spotted in WPC database with Qi 2.2.1 support
  
• No built-in magnets; magnetic charging needs a compatible case
  
• Wireless charging speeds may reach up to 25W on the Ultra model

---

Samsung’s upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 Series has appeared in the database of the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC), confirming new details about its wireless charging features. The listings, first spotted by 9To5Google, reveal that all three models support the latest Qi 2.2.1 standard.

The listings show the Galaxy S26 (SM-K772), Galaxy S26+ (SM-K777), and Galaxy S26 Ultra (SM-K778). While the certification confirms support for Qi 2.2.1, the same standard used by the Google Pixel 10 series, it also highlights an important limitation: no built-in magnetic Qi2 support.

Samsung is using the Base Power Profile (BPP) instead of the Magnetic Power Profile (MPP). This means the phones do not have built-in magnets. As a result, Qi2 magnetic chargers, power banks, and wallets will not attach directly to the phone. Users will need a magnetic protective case to enable proper alignment and attachment.

Despite this, wireless charging speeds are expected to improve. Reports suggest up to 20W wireless charging on the Galaxy S26 and S26+, and up to 25W on the Galaxy S26 Ultra, likely achievable only with compatible magnetic cases.

Samsung is also preparing a new Qi 2.2–2.2-compatible wireless charging puck designed for the S26 series, expected to launch soon.

Overall, the Galaxy S26 lineup focuses on faster wireless charging while keeping magnets optional through accessories.

OpenAI is preparing to enter consumer hardware with its first AI-enabled device, according to multiple leaks and executive confirmations. The product, reportedly named Dime, is said to be an AI-powered audio wearable resembling wireless earbuds, with a tentative launch window in 2026.

Leaks from tipster @SmartPikachu suggest OpenAI has changed course from a more ambitious early plan. The company originally explored a smartphone-like AI device with onboard computing, but rising component costs, especially HBM memory shortages, made the idea too risky to pursue.

Instead, OpenAI is now opting for a “start simple” approach, using Dime as an entry-level product to establish a foothold in hardware, gather real-world usage data, and refine AI-first consumer experiences.

Chris Lehane, OpenAI’s Chief Global Affairs Officer, has confirmed that the company is actively developing its first hardware product, but did not share a launch timeline. Sam Altman has described the device as more “peaceful and calm” than smartphones, suggesting it may be screen-free and pocketable.

Industry buzz around OpenAI hardware intensified after it acquired io, founded by former Apple design chief Jony Ive. Manufacturing partners under consideration reportedly include Foxconn and Luxshare.

While competition in AI wearables remains high, Dime could mark OpenAI’s first step toward owning the full AI experience for both software and hardware.

Anthropic has revealed a striking experiment where AI systems worked together to build a complete C compiler almost entirely on their own. Led by researcher Nicholas Carlini, the project shows how far autonomous AI collaboration has progressed in real-world software development.

How the Experiment Worked

The compiler was developed over two weeks using 16 independent Claude Opus 4.6. Each AI agent ran inside its own Docker container, cloned the same Git repository, and worked without a central controller or human manager. Tasks were picked automatically, conflicts were resolved through Git, and code was pushed upstream without supervision. In total, the agents produced around 100,000 lines of Rust code across nearly 2,000 coding sessions, at an API cost of about $20,000.

What the Compiler Can Do

The result is a fully functional, open-source C compiler written from scratch. It can successfully compile the Linux 6.9 kernel for x86, ARM, and RISC-V architectures, and handle major open-source projects like PostgreSQL, SQLite, Redis, and FFmpeg. On the demanding GCC Torture Test Suite, it achieved a 99% pass rate. As a symbolic milestone, it even compiled and ran Doom, a long-standing benchmark for compiler capability.

Why This Matters

This project demonstrates that AI systems can now self-coordinate, manage large codebases, and deliver production-grade infrastructure software. While the compiler still has limitations and is not yet a full GCC replacement, the experiment marks a major step toward long-running, autonomous AI-driven software engineering.

Impact on the Future of Coding

This experiment signals a shift in how software may be built in the future. For developers, AI agents could handle repetitive tasks, large refactors, testing, and bug fixing, allowing humans to focus more on design, architecture, and problem-solving. At the same time, it raises new questions about code quality, trust, and verification. While human programmers are far from obsolete, their role may evolve from writing every line of code to guiding, reviewing, and validating increasingly autonomous AI-built systems.

DJI may be getting closer to launching a new Pro-level version of its pocket gimbal camera. A recent regulatory filing suggests that the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Pro is moving through the approval process, a step that usually comes well before a public release.

The device has appeared in filings with the FCC. This follows an earlier certification for the standard Osmo Pocket 4, which surfaced months ago. With both models now cleared, it looks increasingly likely that DJI is preparing a broader, possibly global rollout that includes the US market.

FCC approval is required for devices with wireless features in the US, and companies usually don’t go through the process unless a product is meant to ship.

One of the few concrete details confirmed by the filing is battery capacity. The Osmo Pocket 4 Pro is listed with a 1,545mAh battery at 7.7V. That’s a noticeable increase over the Osmo Pocket 3’s 1,300mAh battery and lines up with earlier leaks suggesting improved endurance across the new Pocket lineup.

Beyond that, information is limited. The FCC has granted DJI a confidentiality request, meaning internal photos and schematics won’t be made public until around June 20, 2026. DJI certified the standard Pocket 4 well before announcing anything, but it does remove a key barrier to US sales.

Rumors suggest the Pocket 4 Pro could arrive after the standard model, possibly later this spring or in early summer. As a “Pro” variant, it’s expected to offer something extra, whether that’s camera hardware changes, enhanced stabilization, or other refinements.

What is clear is that DJI is actively moving forward behind the scenes. With regulatory approval now in place, the Osmo Pocket 4 Pro appears to be one step closer to release, even if DJI isn’t ready to talk about it yet.

Xiaomi is preparing to launch its next-generation electric scooters in Europe, and a new leak has now confirmed the full lineup, pricing, and release timeline. The company revealed the Electric Scooter 6 series last month by listing several models on its global website, but it did not share prices or launch dates at the time. A fresh report has now filled in those gaps.

The details come from Billbil-kun (via Dealabs). According to the report, Xiaomi will launch five Electric Scooter 6 models in Europe. These include the Electric Scooter 6 Lite, Electric Scooter 6, Electric Scooter 6 Pro, and Electric Scooter 6 Max, all of which were already visible online. Xiaomi is also preparing a new Electric Scooter 6 Ultra, which was not part of the initial website listing.

The Electric Scooter 6 Ultra is positioned as the most powerful and capable model in the range. It shares core upgrades found across the series, including 12-inch tires, but adds a stronger motor, longer riding range, and dual disc brakes. It also supports a higher maximum load capacity of 140 kg, making it suitable for a wider range of riders. Another notable difference is its design, as the Ultra is expected to be sold only in yellow.

The rest of the lineup is already well defined. The Electric Scooter 6 sits between the Lite and the Max. It uses a motor with 400W continuous output and up to 800W peak power, supports a top speed of 25 km/h, and can handle inclines of up to around 18 percent. It introduces 12-inch tubeless tires and front and rear suspension for better ride comfort. Its 360Wh battery delivers up to 45 km of range and supports faster charging than the previous generation.

The Electric Scooter 6 Lite focuses on short city trips. It uses a 300W motor with 500W peak output, reaches 25 km/h, and offers up to 25 km of range from a 216Wh battery. The Pro model moves up with a 400W motor rated at 1,000W peak, off-road style suspension, 12-inch tires, and a 468Wh battery rated for up to 70 km of range. The Max builds on this with up to 1,100W peak power, dual disc brakes, long travel suspension, Apple Find My support, and the same 70 km claimed range.

Pricing shows a slight increase over the previous generation. The Electric Scooter 6 Lite is expected to cost €329.99, the Electric Scooter 6 €399.99, the Pro €549.99, and the Max €649.99. The Ultra sits at the top at €799.99. Four models are expected to launch in Europe on February 10, 2026, while the Ultra is likely to arrive later.

Driven by strong performance in international premium markets, HONOR has emerged as the fastest-growing major smartphone brand globally in 2025, according to a report by Omdia. This surge sets the stage for its planned unveiling of ambitious new AI and foldable devices this spring.

According to a recent report from the global research firm Omdia, HONOR achieved a notable 11% year-over-year growth in global smartphone shipments for 2025. This growth rate secured the number one position among the world’s top ten smartphone vendors for the year.

Further data from the International Data Corporation (IDC) underscores the strategic nature of this expansion. For the first three quarters of 2025, HONOR led all top-ten brands in overseas shipment growth within crucial premium segments. Specifically, the brand showed remarkable strength in:

• Smartphones priced above $300, covering the premium and upper-mid-tier segments.
• Tablets in the $300-600 price band, targeting the upper-mid consumer segment.

This dual-segment leadership indicates a successful strategy of combining volume growth with a deliberate move into higher-margin categories outside its home market.

Building on this momentum, HONOR is poised to make significant waves at Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona this March. Industry reports confirm the brand will officially unveil two highly anticipated devices: the HONOR ROBOT PHONE, a pioneering foray into AI-integrated mobile technology, and the next-generation foldable flagship, the HONOR Magic V6.

These launches are positioned as key milestones in HONOR’s “Alpha Plan,” its strategic initiative focused on breakthrough innovation in human-centric AI and revolutionary form factors. The 2025 shipment data provides tangible evidence of the brand’s growing market presence, which it now seeks to amplify with these category-defining products.

HONOR’s trajectory reflects a brand in a powerful transition—leveraging solid shipment growth to fund and introduce cutting-edge technology, aiming to redefine its position in the competitive global landscape.

Sony has begun teasing its next flagship true wireless earbuds, the WF-1000XM6, finally offering a first official hint after months of leaks and speculation.

Sony refers to the earbuds as the “next generation,” and flashes part of the design for just a moment. Still, it’s the clearest signal so far that the successor to the WF-1000XM5 is close.

Sony has confirmed that the full announcement will take place on February 12, 2026, at 16:00 UTC (9:30 PM IST). The company hasn’t said whether this will be a livestream or a simple press release, but full specifications are expected either way.

It has been almost three years since the WF-1000XM5 launched in July 2023, which is a longer gap than usual for Sony’s 1000X lineup. In that time, competition from Apple, Bose, and Sennheiser has only intensified, raising expectations around what the XM6 needs to deliver.

The design shown in the teaser appears to match recent leaks. The earbuds look more compact than before, moving away from the rounded shape of the XM5. The new form factor appears flatter and more pill-shaped, which could help with comfort and fit. The charging case also seems to have changed. It looks slimmer and more angular.

Leaks have also pointed to a few smaller but practical changes. A matte finish is expected to return, after some users complained about the glossy surface on the XM5. There also appears to be an extra microphone opening, which could be linked to improvements in active noise cancellation or call quality, though Sony hasn’t confirmed anything yet.

Colour options may expand slightly as well. Black and platinum silver have appeared in leaked images, and there are reports of a third colour, possibly Sand Pink.

With the announcement now just days away, Sony hasn’t left much room for surprises. Whether the WF-1000XM6 represents a major step forward or a more cautious update will become clear soon enough.

Honor appears to be preparing the next generation of its number-series smartphones. Last year, the brand introduced the Honor 400 series in June, followed by the Honor 500 range in November. Based on this launch pattern, the Honor 600 series could debut as early as June this year in China, or possibly even earlier. Well ahead of any official announcement, the first details about the device have surfaced through a Weibo post shared by well-known tipster Digital Chat Station.

Honor 600 display, battery size tipped

According to the tipster, Honor is reportedly working on a new smartphone featuring a 6.57-inch display. Alongside the screen size, the leak suggests that the device may pack a significantly larger battery, potentially reaching around 9,000mAh capacity. This phone appears to be the upcoming Honor 600.

The recently unveiled iQOO Z11 Turbo features a 6.59-inch display, carries the largest battery in its class at 7,600mAh. However, the upcoming Honor 600, which is tipped to feature a similarly sized screen, could surpass that benchmark with a significantly larger battery capacity, potentially setting a new standard for endurance in this segment if the leak turns out to be accurate.

The tipster has not revealed additional hardware details such as the chipset, camera specifications, or charging capabilities, and the official name of the device has not been confirmed either. Despite this, the specifications align closely with expectations for the standard Honor 600, which is likely to succeed last year’s Honor 500.

The Honor 500 featured an iPhone Air-like design and included a 6.55-inch OLED display with 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It was powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset and housed an 8,000mAh battery with 80W charging support. The device also offered a 50-megapixel front camera and a dual rear camera system comprising a 200-megapixel main sensor with OIS and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide lens.

It remains unclear whether the Honor 600 will retain the same design language or chipset as its predecessor. There is no official confirmation regarding a global launch yet, but the Honor 600 Lite has quietly appeared in multiple certification listings, suggesting that international variants may be in development. If the Lite model is indeed heading to global markets, the standard Honor 600 and possibly a Pro version could follow, although their specifications may differ from the Chinese editions.

Several reports have claimed that Oppo is working on a couple of new phones, such as the Find N6 foldable, the Find X9 Ultra, and the Find X9s series for the Chinese market. In the latest development, Zhou Yibao, who leads Oppo’s Find-series products, has revealed when these devices will hit the Chinese market.

Oppo Find N6 to focus on crease optimization

According to Yibao’s latest Weibo post, a new foldable phone is slated for launch after the Chinese New Year period. Although the executive did not explicitly name the device, ongoing rumors strongly indicate that the teaser refers to the Oppo Find N6.

In his post, Zhou compared foldable phones to two beds placed together, suggesting that while they may look comfortable, the central gap or crease remains a key concern for users. He acknowledged that crease visibility continues to be one of the biggest barriers for buyers and emphasized that Oppo is investing heavily in improving crease management and overall durability.

Recent reports further support the Find N6 speculation. Two Oppo devices carrying model numbers PLP110 and PLP120 have received China’s 3C certification, with industry sources suggesting these could represent the standard model and a satellite communication variant. The devices are tipped to support 80W fast charging and may debut as one of the first large-format foldables powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. Early launch expectations point toward a possible unveiling around March in China.

Beyond China, the foldable has also appeared in regulatory databases in multiple regions, indicating a broader rollout plan. Listings in Singapore’s IMDA database reveal support for LTE, 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, and eSIM connectivity, suggesting that a global version is under development.

Meanwhile, other flagship models such as the Oppo Find X9 Ultra and Find X9s series have only recently surfaced in SRRC certification, with their 3C and TENAA approvals still pending, which implies that the Find N6 will launch first and the X9 models will follow soon after. Likely, all of these devices may debut in March in China.

iQOO has been gradually confirming key details about the iQOO 15R before its official launch on Feb. 24 in India. In the latest development, the brand has confirmed the primary camera of the device. The update reveals that the phone will not just be good at performance but also at capturing photos.

iQOO 15R main camera revealed

The iQOO 15R is confirmed to feature a Sony LYT-700 50-megapixel main camera. This camera will surprise those who were expecting a 200-megapixel Samsung HP5 sensor, as the device is believed to be a rebranded version of the iQOO Z11 Turbo, which features the said 200-megapixel Samsung primary camera.

Apart from this major difference, the rest of the specs appear to be identical on both phones. As far as the camera is concerned, the Sony LYT-700 is quite a capable sensor, utilizing Sony’s latest stacked pixel technology to capture more light and deliver better dynamic range in low-light conditions.

iQOO 15R specifications, price

Recent reports have revealed that the iQOO 15R will be a performance powerhouse, driven by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset. It is expected to feature a 6.59-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate for ultra-smooth gaming.

One of its standout features is a massive 7,600mAh battery with 100W fast charging support, yet it maintains a slim profile of just 7.9mm. It will be treated with four Android OS upgrades and six years of security updates.

The device is also tipped to carry IP68 and IP69 ratings for top-tier water and dust resistance. As for the pricing, rumors suggest the iQOO 15R will be priced under Rs 50,000 in India, potentially starting around Rs 47,999 to compete directly with the upcoming OnePlus 15R. With these specs, iQOO is clearly aiming to offer a flagship-grade experience at a more accessible price point.

A couple of new Oppo phones have received SRRC (State Radio Regulation of China) certification. These include the Find X9 Ultra and Find X9s series phones. At the same time, these devices have also been approved by the country’s UFCS (Universal Fast Charging Specification) certification. These certifications suggest that the Find series may debut soon after the upcoming Chinese New Year holidays.

Oppo Find X9 Ultra, Find X9s, Find X9s Pro bag fresh certifications

The Oppo PMA110 phone, which is believed to be the Find X9 Ultra, has received SRRC certification. For those who are unaware, it is a mandatory certification issued by China’s radio regulatory authority to approve wireless devices that use radio frequencies. It confirms that a device complies with China’s spectrum regulations, covering features like cellular connectivity, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and other radio transmission functions before commercial sale. After this, the Find X9 Ultra is expected to bag 3C and TENAA certifications before going official.

The PMA110 model is also listed with the PMA120 variant in the UFCS database. The PMA120 will support satellite connectivity. For those unfamiliar, UFCS is a unified fast-charging standard developed mainly by Chinese manufacturers (including OPPO, Vivo, Xiaomi, Huawei, and others). Its goal is to create a cross-brand fast charging protocol so chargers and devices from different brands can safely deliver fast charging without proprietary restrictions.

Earlier this week, the PME110 Oppo phone was approved by SRRC. Now, the authority has also certified PHM110. These devices are said to be part of the Find X9s series, which may include two devices: the Find X9s and Find X9s Pro. At present, it is not clear which model numbers correspond to which device.

The PHM110 variant has also bagged UFCS certification, which suggests that it could be the Find X9s Pro, whereas the PME110 without UFCS certification could be the Find X9s. It is advisable to wait for further reports to confirm their final monikers.

The Find X9 Ultra and Find X9s series phones are expected to debut together through a launch event in March in China. It is unclear whether the Oppo Find N6 will be announced at the same platform or separately.

The iPhone battery may finally cross the 5,000mAh mark, signalling a notable shift in Apple’s long-standing approach to battery sizing. Fresh supply chain chatter, amplified by well-known tipster Digital Chat Station, hints at meaningful changes coming to the iPhone 18 Pro Max. Here’s a look at what the new leak has revealed.

Major battery upgrade tipped for iPhone 18 Pro Max

According to DCS, supply chain sources indicate that the Chinese version of the iPhone 18 Pro Max could feature a battery rated at around 5000mAh±, while the international variant may see maximum sample capacities in the range of 5100–5200mAh±. If accurate, this would represent a further increase over the iPhone 17 Pro Max, whose eSIM variant already crossed the 5,000mAh mark with a 5,088mAh battery, suggesting Apple may continue gradually scaling capacity year-on-year.

Interestingly, the shift comes at a time when some Android manufacturers are reportedly exploring batteries approaching or even surpassing 10,000mAh capacities, especially in devices focused on endurance and gaming. Honor recently unveiled the Honor Win and Win RT performance-focused flagship phones packed with a 10,000mAh battery, whereas the Realme P4 Power mid-range performance phones offer 10,001mAh battery.

Apple’s strategy, however, has historically relied on tight hardware-software integration and power-efficient silicon rather than simply increasing battery size. This is where the rumored 2nm A20 Pro chip could play a critical role. A more advanced manufacturing process typically improves power efficiency, meaning the real-world gains may come from a combination of higher capacity and smarter energy management.

A report from November 2025 suggested that the rumoured iPhone 18 Pro Max could weigh over 240 grams, potentially making it Apple’s heaviest and thickest flagship yet. With the latest battery leak, the reason behind this design shift may now be clearer.

If the leaks hold true, users could see longer screen-on times, improved sustained performance for photography and video recording, and potentially better standby longevity. For heavy users, this might address long-standing complaints about battery drain during demanding tasks. Still, as with any early supply chain information, final specifications may change before launch.

Smartwatches that claim to measure blood sugar without needles are once again under scrutiny, this time from Germany’s Federal Network Agency. In its latest market surveillance report, the regulator confirmed that several devices sold in 2025 advertised blood glucose tracking despite having no technical ability to measure it, which is a practice officials say poses real risks to consumers.

According to the agency, inspections carried out over the year uncovered problems across roughly 7.7 million electronic products. Many of the violations were procedural, such as missing CE markings or incomplete German-language documentation. Others, however, went far beyond paperwork. Among the most concerning findings were smartwatches that simulate blood sugar readings using unrelated sensors or estimated values, while presenting the results as genuine health data.

Why blood sugar tracking on smartwatches is misleading

Industry experts have been clear for years: accurate blood glucose monitoring requires either invasive testing or an external continuous glucose monitor (CGM). No standalone smartwatch can currently deliver reliable readings on its own. Despite this, low-cost models sold mainly through online marketplaces continue to market the feature aggressively, often targeting people with diabetes.

In at least some cases, the consequences could be serious. A previously published review of the Kospet iHeal 6 showed that its so-called glucose readings varied sharply from real measurements, sometimes enough to influence medication decisions. Regulators warn that relying on such data could lead users to delay insulin, overcorrect their dosage, or ignore warning signs altogether.

The scope of the issue remains significant. The agency flagged 1,266 online listings suspected of non-compliance. While this figure represents an 11.2% decline compared to the previous year, the products involved still accounted for an estimated five million units sold. Smartwatches were the most common offenders, not only for false health claims but also for violations of Germany’s Radio Equipment Act.

Offline inspections revealed similar problems. Of 2,400 device models checked at retail, 58% failed to meet regulatory standards, affecting around 1.9 million units. Most issues were administrative, though some products were found to emit excessive electromagnetic interference.

Customs authorities also stepped up enforcement, blocking 359,000 non-compliant devices at the border after examining more than 8,200 shipments.

For regulators, the message is straightforward: health claims must be backed by real technology. For consumers, Germany’s warning is a reminder that if a smartwatch promises needle-free blood sugar tracking, skepticism is not just reasonable, it’s necessary.

Samsung’s next flagship mobile chip is already making noise in graphics benchmarks. After recently appearing on a Vulkan GPU test, the Exynos 2600 has now topped the Basemark ray tracing leaderboard, beating Qualcomm’s best Snapdragon offering by a noticeable margin.

According to the latest Basemark Ray Tracing results, the Exynos 2600 outperformed the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip by roughly 10 to 15 percent. The chip claimed first place, thanks largely to Samsung’s new Xclipse 960 GPU.

Exynos 2600 vs Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 in ray tracing benchmark

The benchmark data shows a device labeled SM-S942B — believed to be the standard Samsung Galaxy S26 powered by the Exynos 2600 — scoring 8,262 points. In comparison, the BKQ-N49, likely the international version of the Honor Magic8 running the 8 Elite Gen 5, scored 7,527 points. That gives Samsung’s chip a 9.76 percent lead in this specific ray tracing test.

Much of this performance gain appears to come from the Exynos 2600’s underlying design. It is the first smartphone processor to use Samsung’s 2nm Gate-All-Around (GAA) manufacturing process. The approach uses a four-sided gate transistor structure, which improves electrostatic control and allows the chip to operate at lower voltages, potentially boosting both performance and efficiency.

The GPU is another major factor. The Xclipse 960 is the first mobile GPU to use a customized version of AMD’s RDNA 4 architecture, enabling a generational leap in ray-tracing capabilities on smartphones.

Samsung has also focused on thermal management. The Exynos 2600 uses fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP) to shrink the overall package size and includes a new thermal path block (HPB). This copper heatsink makes direct contact with the application processor, reducing thermal resistance by around 16 percent.

While benchmarks don’t tell the whole story, these early results prove Exynos 2600 as a serious competitor in high-end mobile graphics. This could be a comeback moment for Exynos in flagship phones.

Honor’s Win and Win RT, featuring Snapdragon 8-series chipsets and a 10,000mAh battery, have received good reception in the Chinese market. Now, the brand is working on the Honor X80 with a similar battery size at a more affordable price. A reliable tipster has shared key details about what to expect from the next X-series phone.

Honor X80 key specifications tipped

According to the tipster, the Honor X80 will have a massive 6.81-inch OLED LTPS panel with a flat design and rounded corners. It will offer a 1.5K resolution and possibly a 120Hz refresh rate.

The device is reportedly being tested with a new-generation Snapdragon 6-series chipset, possibly the SM6850 platform. It remains to be seen whether the chip will be called the Snapdragon 6 Gen 5 or something else. This leak contradicts a previous claim by the same source, wherein he mentioned that the phone will be powered by a Snapdragon 7-series chipset.

As mentioned above, the X80 will pack a massive 10,000mAh battery, but there is no information about its charging capabilities. This battery has already been approved by China’s 3C authority.

In comparison, the Honor X70, which debuted last year in July, came with a 6.79-inch OLED 1.5K 120Hz screen, a Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chip, and an 8,300mAh battery with 80W wired charging. Its 512GB version also offered wireless charging support. At present, there is no information about the X80’s launch timeframe.

The new leak further claims that Honor plans to standardize 10,000 mAh-class batteries across the X, Power, and WIN line-ups, targeting longer endurance as a key selling point. Additionally, the next-generation Magic series may receive a significant upgrade later this year, potentially featuring a larger 6.85-inch display and more substantial hardware enhancements.

Xiaomi’s latest HyperOS 3.1 update isn’t just about new UI tweaks and ecosystem features. One of the biggest changes is the way system updates are downloaded and installed on devices. With this release, Xiaomi is introducing a new update architecture called SOTA (Super-OTA), designed to make the update process much smoother, faster and less disruptive for users.

What is SOTA and Why it Matters?

Traditionally, installing a system update on a smartphone or tablet involves downloading a patch, which then needs to be installed by rebooting your device so that the software can be applied. This can interrupt whatever you’re doing, whether you’re gaming, working, or using an application. Depending on how large an update is, this can lead to long waiting times while the device restarts and configures the new software build.

With HyperOS 3.1’s SOTA update structure, Xiaomi changes this behavior significantly. Instead of delivering large, fragmented patches that need separate restarts, the OS bundles system software and core app updates into a single unified package that can download and install in the background without forcing an immediate reboot. The only time your Xiaomi device needs to reboot is when there is a core component change. Even the, the process is much less disruptive.

Every Way SOTA Improves the User Experience

• Install quietly in the background, so you can keep using your device uninterrupted.
• Reduce the frequency of reboots, especially for minor fixes and app-module patches.
• Deliver faster bug fixes, since smaller packages can be rolled out and applied more efficiently without waiting for a big OS update cycle.

Update builds that use SOTA will typically include labels like C05 or C06 in their build number, indicating that both system and app modules have been included in a combined patch that avoids rebooting unless absolutely necessary.

Announced in September 2025, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 is the company’s most powerful smartphone chipset until its successor arrives later this year. This flagship SoC already dominates some of the most popular benchmarks among all smartphone chipsets, and has been a strong choice for top-tier performance and excellent power efficiency.

Here, we’ll look at the benchmark scores of Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 from some popular and reliable platforms, including AnTuTu, Geekbench, and 3DMark.

Note: To obtain the benchmark scores, the tests have been performed on the iQOO 15, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 AnTuTu score

The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5-powered iQOO 15 achieves a total score of over 3.7 million on the AnTuTu benchmark (v11). The major contribution comes from the GPU, with a score of 1.4 million, while the CPU gets a little over a million. The memory and UX scores are also impressive at 435K and 827K, respectively.

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5
AnTuTu score	3,751,084
CPU	1,085,556
GPU	1,401,745
Memory	435,923
UX	827,860

While the iQOO 15 can’t reach the 4 million AnTuTu mark, the RedMagic 11 Pro, powered by the same chipset, does. This gaming smartphone unlocks the maximum performance of the device at the cost of high battery consumption, achieving an impressive 4,002,199 AnTuTu points.

Device/Chip	AnTuTu score (v11)
iQOO 15 (SD 8 Elite Gen 5)	3,751,084
OnePlus 13 (SD 8 Elite)	2,994,563
OnePlus 15R (SD 8 Gen 5)	2,961,236
Vivo X300 Pro (D-9500)	3,622,840

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Geekbench score

On Geekbench, the iQOO 15 (powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5) gets 3,649 points in the single-core test and 10,682 points in the multi-core test. These are solid Geekbench scores, which outperform MediaTek’s most powerful Dimensity 9500 chipset and, obviously, older Snapdragon chips with a big margin.

Device/Chip	Single core	Multi core
iQOO 15 (SD 8 Elite Gen 5)	3,649	10,682
OnePlus 13 (SD 8 Elite)	3,026	9,306
OnePlus 15R (SD 8 Gen 5)	2,837	9,352
Vivo X300 Pro (D-9500)	3,452	10,128

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 3DMark score

The 3DMark Wild Life Extreme test shows results that are rather different from those of AnTuTu and Geekbench. Here, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5-powered iQOO 15 reaches a high score of 7,240 and a low score of 3,219. Surprisingly, the Vivo X300 Pro, powered by Dimensity 9500, gets better scores.

Device/Chip	High score	Low score	Stability
iQOO 15 (SD 8 Elite Gen 5)	7,240	3,219	44.5%
OnePlus 13 (SD 8 Elite)	6,628	4,155	62.7%
OnePlus 15R (SD 8 Gen 5)	5,009	3,321	66.3%
Vivo X300 Pro (D-9500)	7,310	4,006	54.8%

The OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 15R, which are powered by older Snapdragon 8-series chipsets, also obtains higher low-score than the iQOO 15. What surprises me the most is that the iQOO 15 has the lowest stability of 44.5% of among all the devices the list.

Note that a chipset alone isn’t entirely responsible for the performance, as other aspects like OEM’s implementation, software optimizations, and cooling mechanism also play important roles. The result would be different on a different device powered by the same Qualcomm/MediaTek chipset.

Vivo, a brand known for its smartphones and high end mobile photography, is reportedly planning to enter the vlogging camera market with a new compact gadget that might be targeting creators and content makers. So here’s everything we know so far.

Vivo Vlogging Camera: New DJI Osmo Pocket Series Rival?

According to a fresh report, the Chinese tech giant is working on a dedicated vlogging camera device that is expected to launch by the end of this year. The new compact vlogging camera that could compete with DJI’s popular Osmo Pocket series of portable gimbal cameras. This would mark a notable expansion for Vivo beyond smartphones and accessories. It also signals its ambition to branch into dedicated imaging hardware that appeals to vloggers who want lightweight, handheld tools that deliver stabilised, high-quality footage without lugging around larger rigs.

Details about Vivo’s vlogging camera remain scarce, and the company has not officially revealed the product name, specs or price. However, insiders say the device is positioned to compete with DJI’s Osmo Pocket lineup, like the upcoming Osmo Pocket 4 and Pocket 3. Both of these are pocket friendly cameras that feature mechanical gimbal stabilization, touchscreen controls and high-resolution video capture.

If Vivo’s compact camera sees the light of day in 2026 as tipped, it could give creators a new vlogging camera option outside of popular brands like DJI, GoPro, and Insta360. Vivo has been collaborating with Zeiss for its lens and tuning on its flagship X series of smartphones, so we might also see an expansion of this partnership. Although, this is just a speculation at this point, so take this news with a pinch of salt.
