Samsung’s experiment with tri-fold smartphones didn’t last very long. The Galaxy Z TriFold, a $2,899 showcase device, is already on its way out just three months after launch. Sales have begun winding down in South Korea, with other markets like the US expected to follow once existing stock runs out.

The company hasn’t really gone into detail about why it pulled the plug so quickly, but the TriFold always felt more like a proof-of-concept than something meant for wide adoption. Still, it wasn’t ignored. Reports suggest it sold out in limited batches, which at least shows there’s curiosity (and maybe even demand) for more experimental form factors.

What’s interesting is that Samsung doesn’t seem to be done with the idea. According to Korean tipster yeux1122, work is already underway on a follow-up, likely to be called the Galaxy Z TriFold 2. It’s said to be in early prototyping, with a big focus on improving the hinge. Apparently, most of the verification work on the new hinge design is already done, which could help make the next version noticeably thinner and lighter.

That’s a big deal, because the original TriFold was… chunky. Folded thickness hovered around 12.9mm, which made it feel a bit impractical for everyday use. The next version is expected to slim down closer to devices like the Galaxy Z Fold 7, though it’ll still be slightly thicker given the more complex folding setup.

A launch timeline around mid-2027 is being floated, which gives Samsung plenty of room to refine things like durability and crease visibility—two areas that matter even more with a tri-fold design.

At the same time, Samsung is also experimenting with another kind of hybrid device with a sliding OLED display. Unlike the motorized concepts we’ve seen at events like CES, this version reportedly uses a manual sliding mechanism. When extended, it could reach around 7 inches, essentially shifting between a phone and a small tablet.

All of this suggests Samsung is still very much in exploration mode. The first TriFold may not have stuck around for long, but it doesn’t look like the idea itself is going anywhere just yet.

Lenovo is refreshing its YOGA ecosystem once again, this time with a new pair of budget-friendly true wireless earbuds that aim to keep things simple, connected, and good-sounding without costing too much.

The newly announced YOGA True Wireless Noise-Cancelling Earbuds were unveiled in China on March 18 at 599 yuan (roughly $86), putting them squarely in the mid-range segment. On the surface, they look fairly minimal, but the focus here seems to be more on everyday usability than flashy design.

One of the more interesting bits is how the TWS pairs with compatible YOGA laptops. Lenovo is calling it “DNA-level recognition,” which sounds like marketing speak, but in practice it just means the earbuds connect instantly when you open the case. They also support dual-device connectivity, so switching between, say, a laptop and phone should be pretty seamless.

On the audio side, you’re getting a 12.2mm dual-magnetic driver setup with a standard 20Hz–20kHz frequency range. Nothing groundbreaking on paper, but it should be more than enough for casual listening. Each earbud packs three microphones to keep calls clear with ENC, while ANC goes up to -40dB.

Battery life looks decent too. With ANC off, you’re looking at about 7 hours per charge, stretching to 36 hours with the case. Turn ANC on, and it drops to 4.5 hours (24 hours total). There’s fast charging as well: 10 minutes gets you around 2 hours of playback, which is always handy. They’re rated IPX4, so workouts and light rain shouldn’t be an issue.

For now, they’re China-only, but the overall package feels like Lenovo is trying to make its YOGA lineup a bit more cohesive. Nothing revolutionary here, but for the price, it checks most of the right boxes.

OnePlus has started revealing more information about the upcoming OnePlus 15T ahead of its official debut in China on March 24. The company has now confirmed key aspects of the device’s imaging system and also shared early camera samples, offering a glimpse of what users can expect from its photography experience.

OnePlus 15T: Camera hardware and zoom capabilities

The OnePlus 15T features a 50-megapixel Sony IMX906 primary camera with a large sensor designed to capture more light and improve dynamic range. This sensor has already appeared on several flagship devices and is known for maintaining detail even in challenging lighting conditions. The main camera is accompanied by a periscope telephoto lens with a 50-megapixel sensor, which may feature the Samsung JN5 sensor.

This telephoto camera supports 3.5x optical zoom and can extend to 7x lossless zoom through image processing. The lens structure allows a longer focal length inside a compact smartphone body, making it possible to capture distant subjects with greater clarity. The 3.5x zoom corresponds to an equivalent 85mm portrait focal length, which is widely used for natural-looking close-up shots. Here are some camera samples shared by the brand.

A notable part of the camera system is the Lumo imaging platform, an imaging technology brand introduced by Oppo and adapted for OnePlus devices. It focuses mainly on improving portrait photography. The platform combines advanced optical data capture, computational depth processing, and colour rendering technologies to deliver more accurate skin tones and realistic background blur.

The system includes a computational optics framework that gathers optical information across multiple focal lengths, along with a digital imaging engine that recreates optical depth effects through spatial computing. Another component called ProXDR enables an end-to-end HDR workflow, ensuring photos maintain high dynamic range from preview to final image and sharing.

The OnePlus 15T is also expected to include optical image stabilization across its rear cameras to improve photo sharpness and reduce blur. Apart from imaging upgrades, reports indicate that the device will feature a 6.32-inch flat OLED 1.5K display with a 165Hz refresh rate, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, up to 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM, up to 512GB of UFS 4.1 storage, and a large 7,500mAh battery with 100W wired and 50W wireless charging. It will be available in brown, white, and green shades.

After almost a four-year gap, Xiaomi is back with a new laptop, called the Xiaomi Book Pro 14. The company announced the device at its Spring New Product Launch Event alongside its new smartwatch. 

First things first, the Xiaomi Book Pro 14 is a slim and lightweight machine. It comes in at just 1.08kg and measures 14.95mm thick. Xiaomi says this is partly thanks to a unibody die-cast magnesium alloy chassis that’s around 30 percent lighter than traditional designs.

OnePlus is preparing to launch the OnePlus 15T, its latest compact flagship smartphone, in China on March 24, 2026.

The company describes the device as a small-screen powerhouse designed to deliver flagship performance without the usual compromises associated with compact phones.

Here is a detailed look at the key features and specifications of the OnePlus 15T.

Design and Build

The OnePlus 15T has a sleek design with a focus on ergonomics. The phone measures 71.82mm in width, 8.5mm in thickness, and weighs 194 grams. The company claims the weight is evenly balanced, which should make the phone feel comfortable during longer use.

The device will come in three colors: Pure Cocoa, Relaxing Matcha, and Healing White Chocolate. The Pure Cocoa and Relaxing Matcha variants feature AG frosted glass backs, which reduce fingerprints and provide a matte texture. The Healing White Chocolate version uses a micro-arc oxidation process, which creates a uniform white finish across the metal frame and glass back.

The OnePlus 15T offers durability with IP66, IP68, and IP69K ratings, which ensure resistance to dust and water, including high-pressure water jets. This makes the device a reliable option for outdoor or rugged environments.

Display

The OnePlus 15T features a 6.32-inch OLED LTPO flat display with 1.1mm ultra-thin bezels on all four sides. The screen supports a 1.5K resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate. The device also includes a 3D ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor for fast and secure unlocking.

OnePlus has focused heavily on gaming performance. The phone includes a Wind Chaser Gaming Core and Esports Triple Core, which optimize the device for intense gaming sessions.

The Tri-Chip system from the flagship OnePlus 15 also appears on the 15T. This setup improves gaming stability and performance. The OnePlus 15T supports gameplay at up to 165fps and includes a bypass charging feature that supplies power directly from the charger during gaming, reducing heat and battery wear.

Cameras

The OnePlus 15T comes with a dual-camera setup, which includes a 50MP main camera and a 3.5x periscope telephoto lens. This marks a significant upgrade over its predecessor, the OnePlus 13T, which lacked a telephoto lens.

The front of the phone features a 32MP selfie camera. OnePlus has also teased a LUMO imaging system, which promises detailed zoom shots and improved imaging performance, but further specifics remain undisclosed.

Battery and Charging

The OnePlus 15T offers a 7,500mAh battery, which is a significant capacity for a compact phone. The phone supports 100W wired charging, 50W wireless flash charging, and bypass charging.

Software

The OnePlus 15T runs on Android 16 with ColorOS 16. This software combination provides a clean and customizable user experience.

Pricing and Availability

OnePlus will launch the 15T in China on March 24 at 7 PM Beijing Time. Customers can pre-order the phone through the Oppo Shop in China. Pricing details will be revealed at the launch event.

OnePlus has not yet announced an international launch date, but reports suggest the device could arrive in other markets under the name OnePlus 15s.

The post OnePlus Nord Buds 4 Pro with 55dB ANC and AI Features Launched at Rs. 3,999 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Oppo just unveiled its latest foldable flagship, the Find N6. And honestly, it might be the most exciting foldable to launch since the first-generation Galaxy Z Fold. At least to me. 

The Z Fold was the starting point. It proved that a smartphone could fold, juggle multiple screens, and adapt to how you want to use it.

The Find N6, on the other hand, is trying to solve the biggest problem every foldable has had so far: the crease. Yes, finally — a foldable that doesn’t constantly remind you of its hinge with a distracting crease after just a few days of use.

But how do Oppo’s and Samsung’s 2026 foldables stack up against each other? Let’s take a look. 

Design and build

Starting with the design, surprisingly, both the Oppo Find N6 and Galaxy Z Fold 7 measure 4.2mm thin when unfolded and 8.9mm when folded. Neither company can really claim a major advantage in thickness. However, where things diverge is in materials and durability. 

The Find N6 is one notch above in engineering, thanks to a titanium alloy hinge, aircraft-grade aluminum frame, and something it calls Nanocrystal Glass. 

There’s also IP58/IP59 certification, which goes beyond the typical water resistance by adding protection against dust and even high-pressure water jets. That’s still rare in foldables.

Samsung, meanwhile, sticks with its familiar Armor Aluminum frame and Gorilla Glass Victus Ceramic 2. The Z Fold 7 is 10 grams lighter than the Find N6 at 215 grams, but it’s unlikely to make a major difference. Its IP48 rating feels more conservative in comparison to Oppo, though.

The hinge is another subtle difference. Oppo says its “Zero-Feel Crease” has a complex four-axis structure and memory glass that can restore flatness over time. Samsung’s Armor FlexHinge is an evolution of what it has already been doing for years. 

Displays

Both phones are built around large inner displays. The Find N6 has an 8.12-inch inner screen, while the Z Fold 7 sticks with an 8.0-inch panel. On paper, that’s not a huge difference, but Oppo offers higher brightness numbers, hitting up to 2,500 nits on the inner display and 3,600 nits on the cover screen.

Samsung’s panel is still strong, with a peak brightness of 2,600 nits and its usual AMOLED tuning.

Resolution and sharpness are part of the story. But Oppo is trying to solve one of foldables’ biggest annoyances, the crease. Its “Zero-Feel” approach, backed by memory glass and a redesigned hinge, makes the crease less visible and less tactile over time.

Samsung, interestingly, took a different route by removing S Pen support. That decision allows it to use a slightly thicker ultra-thin glass layer to improve durability, but it also removes one of the Fold series’ more unique features.

Performance

Performance is where things get a bit more nuanced. The Oppo Find N6 runs on the newer Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, while the Z Fold 7 uses the Snapdragon 8 Elite. Both are built on a 3nm process, but Oppo’s chip is technically a generation ahead, with higher clock speeds and a newer GPU.

Practically, both phones should feel fast. But Oppo’s combination of newer silicon, LPDDR5X RAM, and UFS 4.1 storage could deliver slightly better efficiency and faster data handling. Samsung uses LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage.

The Z Fold 7 also comes with One UI 8 with the promise of seven major Android updates. Meanwhile, the Find N6 offers ColorOS 16 with five years of OS updates and six years of security patches.

Cameras

Both phones now use 200MP main sensors, but the supporting cameras are a different story.

Oppo goes all-in with a more balanced setup: a 50MP ultrawide, a 50MP periscope telephoto with 3x optical zoom, and Hasselblad color tuning. 

Samsung, on the other hand, pairs its 200MP main sensor with a 12MP ultrawide and a 10MP telephoto. While the main camera is excellent and borrowed from its Ultra lineup, the secondary cameras feel less ambitious.

Video capabilities are strong on both sides, but Oppo also has Dolby Vision recording at up to 4K 120fps, while Samsung offers 8K recording at 30fps. 

Battery and charging

The Find N6 packs a 6,000mAh silicon-carbon battery, which is significantly larger than Samsung’s 4,400mAh cell. This alone could translate to noticeably better endurance. But charging speeds widen the gap even further. 

The Find N6 supports 80W wired charging and 50W wireless charging, along with multiple fast-charging standards. Samsung offers 25W wired and 15W wireless charging.

Extras and features

There are a few other smaller differences that might matter depending on how you use your phone.

Oppo has stylus support on both screens, satellite connectivity on select models, and an infrared port, which is still useful in some regions. Samsung offers Ultra Wideband support and DeX, which can be more relevant if you’re already invested in its ecosystem.

Connectivity is largely similar with support for Wi-Fi 7 and modern positioning systems on both models. 

Verdict

The Oppo Find N6 and Galaxy Z Fold 7 are two different stages of the foldable market. Oppo is pushing aggressively on hardware with bigger battery, faster charging, brighter displays, and a more ambitious camera system. 

Samsung’s approach is more iterative. The Z Fold 7 refines the design, improves the hinge, and leans heavily on software longevity and ecosystem features.

If you’re looking at pure hardware, the Find N6 is hard to ignore. It pushes ahead in areas that matter daily, like battery life and charging. But if long-term software support, ecosystem integration, and a slightly lighter build matter more, the Z Fold 7 is still a good device.

One UI 8.5 recently debuted on the Galaxy S26 series, and soon it will start rolling out to older Galaxy devices. This is actually a major upgrade, based on Android 16 QPR2, bringing a range of improvements and several important features, including audio broadcast, storage share, and now nudge.

Now that One UI 8.5 has already debuted, you may be wondering when the update will reach your Galaxy device. We’ll take a look at the rollout status, the eligible devices list, and the major upgrades so you don’t miss out on anything.

When will Samsung roll out the One UI 8.5 update?

Samsung still hasn’t announced a rollout timeline for One UI 8.5. However, the wait shouldn’t be much longer from here, given that the stable version has already debuted on the S26 series and the beta program has already stretched enough.

The beta program for the Galaxy S25 series launched in December 2025 and is still active after seven beta releases. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 were recently added to the list, and according to recent reports, the beta program could also expand to the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy Z Fold 6, and Galaxy Z Flip 6.

Luckily for Galaxy devices other than the S25 series, the beta program won’t go on for months. Samsung would be looking to wrap it up quickly to begin the stable rollout. That seems more likely as Galaxy S25 was recently spotted on the server with a stable firmware. That indicates the stable rollout could be right around the corner.

Is your Galaxy eligible for the One UI 8.5 update?

Samsung hasn’t published a list of eligible One UI 8.5 devices, but it will more or less include the same devices that have received the One UI 8.0 update and the Galaxy devices launched with it.

Here’s a list of Galaxy devices likely to receive the One UI 8.5 update:

Major upgrades in One UI 8.5

One UI 8.5 is still based on Android 16, but it uses a newer QPR2 build that adds extra features from Google, in addition to those developed by the One UI team. The Quick Settings are now fully customizable, allowing users to resize, rearrange, and organize toggles and sliders more freely than before. Samsung has updated app icons, at least for the first-party apps, to feature a bit of a 3D effect.

The lock screen has been updated to automatically adjust the clock and date, so they don’t cover the main subject of your lock screen wallpaper. Additionally, it can now show weather visuals based on the current conditions. An important visual upgrade is the new, modern floating tab bar UI, a pill-shaped UI element with a frosted color scheme. It replaces the traditional plain tab bar at the bottom.

Samsung has improved the Photo Assist feature to let users keep generating and editing AI images without saving every version first. It also introduces a new AI feature, “Now Nudge,” that proactively suggests actions and information based on what is currently on your screen. It works similarly to Google’s “Magic Cue” on Pixel devices.

One UI 8.5 also introduces some important features, such as Partial Screen Recording to record specific areas of your phone, Audio Broadcast to use your phone as a microphone, and Storage Share to access files from other Galaxy devices. The new Failed Authentication Lock feature automatically locks the device after multiple failed unlock attempts. To further strengthen security, it includes features such as Theft Protection and Expanded Identity Check.

Just as the OnePlus Nord 6 recently surfaced on a benchmarking platform, a new leak has revealed what to expect from the upcoming mid-range smartphone. Tipster Yigesh Brar has shared an alleged box image of the device on X (formerly Twitter), along with key specifications and a possible launch timeline.

According to the leak, the OnePlus Nord 6 could feature a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate. Powering the device will be the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset. 

The Nord 6 appeared on Geekbench with the same chip, 12GB of RAM, and Android 16 OS. Its performance scores are 2,040 in single-core and 6,520 in multi-core tests.

In terms of cameras, the Nord 6 is tipped to include a 50MP primary sensor on the rear, accompanied by a 32MP front-facing camera for selfies and video calls. 

One of the most exciting claims is the reported 9,000mAh battery. This could probably be the biggest battery OnePlus phone to launch globally. The device is also expected to support 80W fast charging.

The OnePlus Nord 6 may be offered in two configurations: 8GB RAM with 256GB storage and 12GB RAM with 256GB storage. Color options are said to include Black, Mint, and Silver.

OnePlus Nord 6’s possible launch timeframe

As for availability, the tispater says the device could launch in the first week of April. April 7 is the most likely date.

Alongside the Nord 6, OnePlus may also introduce the OnePlus Nord CE 6. It recently appeared in India’s Bureau of Indian Standards certification database. That model is expected to target a more affordable segment of the market.

A report by Counterpoint Research last month revealed that memory prices have jumped between 80% and 90% since the first quarter of 2026, compared with the end of last year. This includes everything from DRAM to NAND and even HBM, all of which are now sitting at record highs.

And guess what? All of these costs will eventually be passed down to consumers. According to industry tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS), the combined cost of 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB UFS 4.1 storage has now surpassed the price of a flagship processor like the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.

For years, chipsets have been the most expensive component in a high-end phone. Now, memory and storage are catching up, if not overtaking them.

There’s also no clear sign of relief. According to DCS, the same memory-and-storage configuration is expected to exceed 2,300 yuan by the second quarter. This will add even more pressure on manufacturers already operating on tight margins.

In fact, Meizu has reportedly paused its in-house hardware development for new phones and is exploring partnerships instead. Meanwhile, companies across the board have begun adjusting prices. OnePlus and Oppo, for example, have recently increased smartphone prices in China.

For consumers, this means higher prices are becoming harder to avoid, even outside the premium segment. Both budget and mid-range phones are now being pulled into the same cost pressures.

The only positive

The one silver lining, according to Digital Chat Station, is that newer phones are at least getting more capable hardware. As component costs rise, manufacturers appear to be compensating by upgrading specifications. delivering the hardware users expect and, in some cases, adding new features along the way.

ASUS has refreshed its ROG Strix gaming lineup for 2026, but the spotlight is clearly on the upcoming ROG Strix SCAR 18. It hasn’t fully launched yet, but early details and official renders give a pretty good idea of what ASUS is aiming for this year: more power, even if it comes at the cost of size.

The company announced the new Strix series alongside Intel’s latest Arrow Lake-HX chips, and the SCAR 18 (2026) is shaping up to be the top-end option. Images on ASUS’ ROG website show a familiar aggressive design, though the chassis has grown slightly. The laptop now weighs around 3.73kg and measures 35mm thick, both up from last year’s model. It’s not subtle, but that extra bulk seems to be there for a reason.

One of the more telling upgrades of this gaming laptop is the power adapter. ASUS is bundling a 450W charger, up from 380W on the previous version. That’s a big jump, and it usually points to higher sustained performance. ASUS itself hints at a higher total system power budget this time, which should help the laptop hold peak speeds for longer instead of dialing things back under load.

As expected, the hardware is top-tier. The SCAR 18 is expected to run on an Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX-class chip, paired with NVIDIA RTX 5090 Laptop GPU. That combination should comfortably handle high-end gaming, heavy creative workloads, and pretty much anything else you throw at it.

Memory and storage look flexible as well. There are two DDR5-6400 slots for RAM upgrades and dual M.2 SSD slots with support for PCIe Gen5.

ASUS is sticking with a large 18-inch Mini LED panel with 3840 × 2400 resolution and a 240Hz refresh rate, which should be ideal for both gaming and content work.

The ROG Strix SCAR 18 (2026) is expected to arrive sometime in Q2 2026, with pricing and full configurations still to be confirmed. It’s clearly not trying to be lightweight, but for those chasing maximum performance in a laptop, that trade-off might be part of the appeal.

Canon has announced that 2026 marks 30 years of its PowerShot compact digital camera lineup. To commemorate the occasion, the company will release a limited-edition version of the PowerShot G7 X Mark III with updated design elements and anniversary branding.

Three decades of PowerShot evolution

The PowerShot series was introduced in July 1996 with the PowerShot 600. Over the years, Canon expanded the lineup across multiple segments. Early models included the PowerShot A5 launched in April 1998, and the PowerShot Pro70 in November 1998. The S series debuted with the S10 in October 1999, followed by the G series with the G1 in October 2000.

The company continued to add new categories, including the TX1 in March 2007, SX100 IS in October 2007, and E1 in September 2008. Later models, such as the PowerShot D10 (May 2009) and PowerShot N (April 2013) extended the range further. Most recently, Canon introduced the video-focused V series with the PowerShot V10 in June 2023.

Canon states that the PowerShot lineup has been built around delivering still photography and video in compact, easy-to-use designs. As of December 2025, the company says total global production of compact digital cameras, including the IXUS series, has exceeded 200 million units.

Current lineup structure

The current PowerShot portfolio is divided into three categories. The G series targets users looking for high image quality and advanced controls. The V series is positioned for video-focused use cases such as vlogging. The SX series is aimed at users who need extended zoom capabilities.

PowerShot G7 X Mark III: 30th anniversary edition

Canon will mark the anniversary with a limited-edition version of the PowerShot G7 X Mark III, originally launched in August 2019. The camera features a 1.0-inch stacked CMOS sensor with approximately 20.1 effective megapixels and a lens with 4.2x optical zoom. It also includes a dedicated Video Blog recording mode.

The anniversary model introduces cosmetic and packaging changes. These include a graphite color finish, a knurled control ring, a 30th anniversary logo on the body, and a collector’s edition wrist strap. It will also ship in commemorative packaging.

Canon has confirmed that the model will be released in limited quantities. Pricing and availability details have not been announced yet.

Battery life hasn’t exactly been a strong point for foldables so far, but that might be starting to shift. A recent comparison test gives a clearer idea of where things stand right now.

The test comes from PhoneBuff, which put the Oppo Find N6, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, and Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold through its usual mixed-usage routine. That includes a bit of everything: gaming, scrolling through social media, web browsing, video playback, basically the kind of usage most people would spread across a full day.

By the end of it, the Find N6 came out on top, lasting 27 hours and 46 minutes. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold followed at 26 hours and 40 minutes, while the Galaxy Z Fold 7 finished at 25 hours and 52 minutes. The gaps aren’t massive, but they’re consistent enough to stand out.

A lot of that likely comes down to the battery itself. Oppo is using a 6,000mAh silicon-carbon battery here. It basically allows more capacity to fit into the same space. For comparison, the Fold 7 packs a 4,400mAh battery, while the Pixel uses a 5,015mAh unit. What’s a bit interesting is that the Pixel doesn’t quite translate its larger battery into better runtime than expected. That could be down to software tuning, or just how the hardware is balanced overall.

There are a couple of smaller details that add to the overall picture. Even after hitting 0%, the Find N6 managed to squeeze out another 18 minutes in a low-power mode. Not something you’d rely on daily, but it could help in a pinch. Charging is also quicker, with 80W wired speeds getting it to around 55% in 30 minutes, which is noticeably ahead of the other two.

It’s just one comparison, so it’s not the final word. Still, it does hint at where things might be heading, especially if more brands start adopting silicon-carbon batteries in foldables.

OnePlus has started teasing a new Nord phone in India, and all signs point to it being the upcoming Nord 6. Ahead of its official debut, the device has appeared on Geekbench with model number CPH2793.

According to the benchmark listing, the phone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset. The configuration includes a prime Arm Cortex‑X4 core clocked at 3.21GHz, alongside a cluster of Arm Cortex‑A720 performance cores running at different speeds. Graphics duties are handled by the Adreno 825 GPU.

The benchmark numbers themselves look promising. The Nord 6 scores 2,040 in single-core tests and 6,520 in multi-core on Geekbench. Synthetic benchmarks don’t always tell the whole story, but these figures suggest the device should have plenty of horsepower for gaming, multitasking, and heavier apps.

The listing also confirms 12GB of RAM and the presence of Android 16.

OnePlus Nord 6 could borrow from Turbo 6

If earlier reports are accurate, the Nord 6 could borrow several specs from the OnePlus Turbo 6. That may include a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution and possibly a 165Hz refresh rate. Another standout feature could be a massive 9,000mAh battery paired with 80W fast charging.

Alongside the Nord 6, OnePlus may also introduce the OnePlus Nord CE 6. It recently appeared in India’s Bureau of Indian Standards certification database. That model is expected to target a more affordable segment of the market.

OnePlus hasn’t confirmed a launch date just yet, but early reports suggest the Nord 6 series could make its global debut around April 2026. India is likely among the first markets to get it. We will keep you in the loop if we receive new details on it.

The post OnePlus Nord 6 runs Geekbench, here’s how it performed appeared first on Gizmochina.

At its event in China on March 17, Oppo introduced the Find N6, and during the keynote, it directly compared the device to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. In a live demo, presenters showed a freshly unboxed Fold device that had been left folded for about an hour. Once opened, the crease running down the middle was clearly visible under stage lighting.

Oppo then unfolded the Find N6 alongside it. The difference, at least on stage, was noticeable. The inner display looked much flatter, with the company claiming its new hinge design and “Zero-Feel Crease” tech help reduce visible folding marks. Oppo says this involves a mix of redesigned mechanics and updated glass layers aimed at minimizing long-term creasing.

Beyond the demo, the Find N6 also brings top-end specs. It’s powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip and comes with up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage (with higher variants expected). On the camera side, there’s a 200MP main sensor, along with 50MP ultrawide and telephoto lenses, plus dual 20MP selfie cameras for both displays.

Battery life could be another strong point. The phone packs a 6,000mAh battery, with support for 80W wired and 50W wireless charging. It runs Android 16 with ColorOS 16 on top.

The on-stage comparison felt very intentional. Samsung has improved crease visibility over the years, but it hasn’t completely eliminated it. Oppo is clearly trying to position the Find N6 as a step ahead in that area.

With more competition expected in foldables this year, including the long-rumored foldable iPhone, the focus seems to be shifting toward refining the experience rather than just pushing specs. And if Oppo’s demo holds up outside controlled conditions, crease reduction could become a bigger talking point going forward.

Vivo has officially revealed the design of its upcoming X300 Ultra and X300s smartphones after several weeks of teasers. The company has shared the first official images, highlighting a camera-inspired design language and a new film-themed color finish. The announcement offers an early look at Vivo’s next-generation flagship imaging smartphones.

Vivo introduces a camera-inspired design approach

According to Vivo product manager Han Boxiao, Vivo refers to the X300 Ultra as a “professional V camera phone,” while the X300s is positioned as a smaller version called the “super V camera phone”. For those who do not know, “V camera phone” refers to Vivo’s concept of a smartphone designed with a camera-first approach, combining professional camera features with a mobile phone form factor.

Both models feature a new “Film Green” color finish that blends classic photography aesthetics with a modern smartphone design. The company suggests the color and styling aim to deliver a mix of retro and contemporary visual appeal.

Both devices also support a long-range telephoto extender kit. The X300 Ultra will support what Vivo calls the “Cannon 400” telephoto system, designed for extreme long-distance photography with a 400mm focal length. The lineup also supports the “Lipstick 200” telephoto mode, intended to offer a lighter and more portable zoom shooting experience.

The X300 Ultra is expected to focus heavily on professional video recording. It will support 4K 120fps 10-bit Log recording across multiple focal lengths, along with Dolby Vision recording and cinematic slow-motion video at the same resolution.

Industry sources suggest that Vivo may officially launch the X300 Ultra, X300s, and the Vivo Pad6 Pro tablet on March 30, with market availability likely beginning on April 3.

Xiaomi is continuing its steady push into large language models. After introducing MiMo-7B in May 2025 and following it up with MiMo-V2-Flash in December, Xiaomi has now announced three new models: MiMo-V2-Pro, MiMo-V2-Omni, and MiMo-V2-TTS.

All three are already being integrated across Xiaomi’s own ecosystem, including MiMo Studio, Xiaomi Browser, and Kingsoft Office, while also being accessible through developer tools like OpenClaw, OpenCode, and Cline. There’s also a one-week free trial for developers.

Xiaomi MiMo-V2-Pro

The headline model here is MiMo-V2-Pro, which Xiaomi positions as its flagship for what it calls the “agent era.” It’s built for heavy, real-world workloads, with more than 1TB of total parameters and a 1MB context window. 

Xiaomi claims MiMo-V2-Pro can handle complex tasks like workflow orchestration and long-term planning without human input, especially within agent frameworks. The company also says its performance is close to models like Claude Opus 4.6, while costing significantly less to use via API. Pricing starts at $1 per million tokens for input within smaller contexts, scaling up for larger ones.

The model is integrated into Kingsoft’s WPS Office tools, where it can work across Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDFs. 

Xiaomi MiMo-V2-Omni and MiMo-V2-TTS

MiMo-V2-Omni takes a different approach to focus on multimodal tasks. It’s designed to process audio, images, and video together, with Xiaomi claiming strong performance in areas like audio understanding and visual reasoning. 

The model can handle long audio inputs, multi-speaker scenarios, and combined audio-video analysis, which points to broader use cases beyond text. Xiaomi says its audio understanding even surpasses models like Gemini 3 Pro in some cases.

Meanwhile, MiMo-V2-TTS is Xiaomi’s speech synthesis model. Here, you can adjust tone, emotion, and speaking style at a detailed level. Xiaomi says it can handle everything from natural conversation to singing, with support for multiple Chinese dialects.

All three models are now available via Xiaomi’s API platform, with relatively aggressive pricing. Most large tech companies are building similar stacks of text, multimodal, and voice models. What stands out is how quickly Xiaomi is iterating and how tightly these models are being woven into its existing software ecosystem.

HUAWEI is set to launch two new tablets in India, the MatePad 11.5 PaperMatte Edition 2025 (review) and the MatePad SE 11″. The company has updated its Flipkart landing page, confirming both models along with their offer prices.

This launch marks HUAWEI’s return to the tablet segment in India after several years. Its last tablet, the MatePad T8, was launched in 2020. Since then, the company has focused on wearables and accessories in the country through RTC India.

Both tablets will run HarmonyOS based on an open-source AOSP version. These devices will not support Google Mobile Services, so Google apps will not run natively. HUAWEI is instead promoting its own ecosystem, including the WPS Office Suite for productivity.

The MatePad 11.5 PaperMatte Edition (2025) is the higher-end model. It features an 11.5-inch 2.5K display with a resolution of 2456 × 1600 pixels. The PaperMatte display uses anti-reflection coatings that reduce light interference by 99 percent and cut screen reflections by 60 percent. The tablet has an all-metal unibody design with a slim 6.1mm profile, a quad-speaker setup, and comes bundled with a HUAWEI Keyboard. It packs a 10,100mAh battery with 40W HUAWEI SuperCharge support. It runs HarmonyOS 4.3 and offers up to 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. For cameras, it has a 13MP rear camera and an 8MP front camera.

The MatePad SE 11″ is an entry-level option. It features an 11-inch WUXGA display and an all-metal unibody design with a 6.9mm profile. It supports the HUAWEI M-Pen Lite. The tablet is backed by a 7,700mAh battery with 22.5W HUAWEI SuperCharge support. It runs HarmonyOS 2.0 and offers up to 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. It includes an 8MP rear camera and a 5MP front camera.

HUAWEI has revealed effective prices of Rs. 27,999 for the MatePad 11.5 PaperMatte Edition with keyboard and Rs. 13,749 for the MatePad SE 11″, including bank offers. Both tablets are listed as coming soon and are expected to be available on Flipkart and the RTC India website with a 6-month no-cost EMI option.

It’s been just three months since Huawei announced the Nova 15 series, but rumors of its successor have already started surfacing on the web. 

According to tipster Digital Chat Station, a prototype device from a “certain manufacturer” is currently being tested with a 6.84-inch 1.5K LTPO display. 

While the leak doesn’t reveal the name, the hints in the comment section suggest the device could be part of the Huawei Nova 16 series. In particular, the Nova 16 Ultra. 

Huawei Nova 16 Ultra Specifications (Expected)

The leak also mentions a “9-series flagship processor,” which likely corresponds to the Kirin 9000 series SoC. Moreover, the device is said to feature a battery capacity of around 7000mAh.

On the camera side, the prototype is said to feature a newly tested 50-megapixel sensor in the 1/1.3-inch range. This is paired with a 50MP periscope telephoto lens, though with a smaller sensor, and a multispectral lens. Rounding out the specs in this leak is wireless charging. 

For context, the previous Nova 15 lineup launched late last year with Kirin 8020 and 9010S chipsets, starting at 2699 yuan. The Ultra variant also introduced a distinctive dual “red maple leaf” design across both the front and back. 

The leak also briefly touches on competitors. In a reply, DCS notes that Oppo is expected to keep its focus on 200-megapixel cameras for the Reno 16 series, along with a more detailed back design. Another comment suggests that at least one manufacturer may revisit curved displays later this year.

As always with early leaks, details could change before launch. So take these details with a pinch of salt.

The post Early Huawei Nova 16 Ultra leak reveals 6.84-inch display, 7000mAh battery appeared first on Gizmochina.

Wireless gaming earbuds have quietly become a category of their own. A few years ago, gamers who wanted low-latency audio usually had to rely on bulky over-ear headsets. True wireless earbuds were convenient, but they often struggled with delay, unstable connections, or weak microphones.

Things are changing now. Several companies have started building earbuds specifically for gaming, often combining Bluetooth with a low-latency 2.4GHz wireless dongle. This way, you get the portability of earbuds but with the responsiveness of a gaming headset.

If you’re looking for the best gaming TWS earbuds in March 2026, the options are limited, but a few are good at what they promise. 

SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds

The SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds are an example of how gaming earbuds have evolved in 2026. Instead of relying purely on Bluetooth, they ship with a USB-C dongle that uses a dedicated 2.4GHz wireless connection for lower latency.

Using the dongle, the earbuds can connect to devices like PlayStation, PC, Nintendo Switch, and even some handheld gaming systems. Bluetooth 5.3 is also included for regular phone use, so you can switch between gaming and everyday listening fairly easily.

SteelSeries also leans heavily on software customization. Through its companion app, users get access to parametric EQ settings and over 100 game-specific audio presets designed to emphasize sounds like footsteps or directional cues.

The earbuds deliver around 10 hours on a single charge, with the charging case extending that to roughly 40 hours total. The case supports both USB-C charging and Qi wireless charging.

Add active noise cancellation and spatial audio support, and the Arctis GameBuds start to feel like a full gaming headset in a much smaller package. 

ASUS ROG Cetra SpeedNova

From the visuals themselves, the ASUS ROG Cetra SpeedNova confirms they are made for gaming.

Like several gaming earbuds, the Cetra SpeedNova uses dual-mode connectivity: traditional Bluetooth for everyday use and a proprietary 2.4GHz SpeedNova wireless connection for gaming. This dedicated wireless mode is designed to reduce delay so audio stays in sync with gameplay.

The earbuds also focus heavily on sound hardware. ASUS is using large 14.2mm drivers with a diamond-like carbon coating to deliver clearer highs and deeper bass than typical earbuds.

The Cetra SpeedNova isn’t just built for competitive play. ASUS has also included sound modes such as Phantom Bass and Immersion Mode, which are designed to enhance low-end audio or reduce environmental noise depending on the situation.

Sony Pulse Explore (2026 update)

Sony’s Pulse Explore earbuds were originally designed as companions for the PlayStation ecosystem, but the 2026 update expands their appeal slightly.

The biggest advantage here is Sony’s proprietary PlayStation Link wireless technology, which delivers low-latency audio when paired with compatible devices such as the PlayStation 5 or PlayStation Portal. The goal is to keep audio perfectly synchronized with gameplay without the delay often associated with Bluetooth.

Sony also leans heavily on spatial audio. The earbuds support PlayStation’s 3D audio processing, which helps create directional cues in games.

Another distinguishing feature is the use of planar magnetic drivers. This technology can produce more detailed and accurate sound compared to traditional dynamic drivers. The Pulse Explore is for players who primarily game on PlayStation hardware.

Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed

Razer has been experimenting with gaming earbuds for several years, and the Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed are ts the company’s most refined version so far.

The earbuds follow the same pattern as many modern gaming models: Bluetooth plus a 2.4GHz wireless dongle. This approach allows them to work with consoles, PCs, and smartphones while keeping latency low enough for fast-paced games.

The earbuds should last around 6 to 7 hours of playback per charge, with the charging case extending total usage to roughly 40 hours.

Razer also includes features that mirror its larger gaming headsets, such as customizable EQ settings, low-latency gaming modes, and RGB lighting on some variants. The Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed is particularly appealing for players already using Razer peripherals.

Audeze Maxwell 2

While most gaming earbuds focus on portability, the Audeze Maxwell 2 takes a slightly different approach. It’s technically a headset rather than earbuds, but it’s still part of the modern wireless gaming audio landscape.

Announced at CES 2026, the Maxwell 2 builds on Audeze’s reputation for high-fidelity audio. It uses large planar magnetic drivers capable of reproducing a wide frequency range. Thus, it delivers extremely detailed sound compared to typical gaming headsets.

The headset also includes several modern wireless features:

• Dual connectivity via 2.4GHz dongle and Bluetooth 5.3
• Support for LDAC and LE Audio
• AI-powered noise cancellation for the detachable microphone
• Up to 80 hours of battery life

Those specifications make the Maxwell 2 one of the longest-lasting wireless gaming audio devices currently available.

Why gaming earbuds are becoming more common

The rise of gaming earbuds is tied to a few broader trends in gaming hardware.

First, portable gaming devices have become more popular. Handheld PCs, cloud gaming, and gaming phones all benefit from compact audio gear that’s easier to carry than a full headset.

Second, wireless technology has improved significantly. Modern 2.4GHz dongles can reduce latency enough that many players no longer notice delays between sound and gameplay.

Finally, gamers increasingly want multi-purpose audio devices. A pair of earbuds that works with a PC, console, and smartphone is far more convenient than owning separate headsets for each platform.

Xiaomi has an impressive software update policy for its devices, but even that has to come to an end sometime. It hurts more when popular devices reach the end of life (EOL), as that impacts a large group of people. Sadly, that time has arrived for the popular Xiaomi 12 series, which is now officially retiring from all kinds of software updates, including HyperOS updates and security patches.

As mentioned on the official security center page (via Xiaomi Time), the update cycle for the Xiaomi 12 series has finally concluded. That means it won’t receive HyperOS updates, security patches, or feature drops. Here’s a list of affected devices and their final HyperOS/Android OS versions.

• Xiaomi 12: HyperOS 3.0 / Android 15
• Xiaomi 12 Pro: HyperOS 3.0 / Android 15
• Xiaomi 12 Lite: HyperOS 1.0 / Android 14

All three Xiaomi 12 models were launched with Android 12, but didn’t receive the same software support. Being premium models, the Xiaomi 12 and 12 Pro promised an extra OS upgrade over the Xiaomi 12 Lite. As a result, both are retiring with Android 15, while the Xiaomi 12 Lite will spend its life running Android 14. 

Alongside the Xiaomi 12 series, the Redmi Note 12 5G has also been added to the EOL list. This smartphone launched with Android 12 and, after two OS upgrades, it now runs Android 14 with HyperOS 2.0 on top.

If your Xiaomi phone is on the list, it’s best to upgrade to go for a new hardware. That will receive the latest HyperOS updates with plenty of new features and enhancements, and security patches will ensure protection against the latest vulnerabilities.

You can still use your current device, though. It would work just fine, but without the latest security patches, you’re exposing it to new vulnerabilities. If you’re considering a smartphone upgrade, do check out our curated list of Xiaomi phones with the best software support.

To ensure you don’t miss out on the latest HyperOS stories, remember to visit the Xiaomi section on this website regularly. Alternatively, you can join us on Telegram to get instant notifications about the latest HyperOS updates and the biggest tech headlines.

OnePlus has wrapped up its OxygenOS 16 rollout and may already be developing the next major upgrade, OxygenOS 17, which would be based on Android 17. We can expect to see some major upgrades and a host of refinements across the UI, along with upgrades to security and privacy.

Unfortunately, many OnePlus devices will miss out on the OxygenOS 17 update, as they have already received the promised number of OS updates. We’ve prepared a list of such devices below. Review it to find out if you’re on the safe side or if you’ll need a newer device to receive this major upgrade.

List of OnePlus devices not eligible for OxygenOS 17 (Android 17) upgrade

OnePlus flagship series

• OnePlus 11R
• OnePlus 10R
• OnePlus 10T
• OnePlus 10 Pro
• Older OnePlus flagship phones

OnePlus Nord series

• OnePlus Nord 3
• Older Nord phones

OnePlus Nord CE series

• OnePlus Nord CE 4
• OnePlus Nord CE 4 Lite
• Older Nord CE phones

OnePlus Pad series

• OnePlus Pad
• OnePlus Pad Go

Keep in mind that this is an unofficial list. However, since it’s based on the official update policy, we would hardly expect any difference. So, if your device is on the above list, it’s unlikely to be upgraded to OxygenOS 17. In that case, you may want to upgrade to a newer device that can stay relevant for years to come. To make things easier, we’ve compiled a list of OnePlus devices that promise six years of software updates.

Samsung’s next set of Galaxy A series phones seems to be getting closer to launch. The Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57 have both been popping up in leaks lately. After a retail unit of the Galaxy A57 surfaced with its pricing in Thailand, promo materials for both devices have now appeared online, revealing the Galaxy A37’s pricing in the market.

The poster lists the 8GB + 256GB variant of the A37 at THB 13,999. That roughly converts to around $430, or about ₹36,000, though final pricing will obviously vary by region.

What’s interesting is that only this higher storage option is mentioned. Earlier leaks did suggest a 6GB + 128GB model as well, but there’s still no clear pricing for that one. It could mean Samsung is pushing the A37 with more storage by default in some markets, or it’s just the variant they’re choosing to highlight first.

There’s also been a steady flow of other leaks around these phones, including unboxings, hands-on clips, and even a teardown.

As for specs, the Galaxy A37 is expected to feature a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, along with Samsung’s Exynos 1480 chip. The camera setup is said to include a 50MP main sensor, plus 8MP ultra-wide and 5MP macro lenses. On the front, there’s reportedly a 12MP selfie camera.

Battery capacity is listed at 5,000mAh, paired with 45W charging, which should be more than enough for a full day of use. Software-wise, it’s expected to run One UI 8.5 based on Android 16.

Nothing here feels like a major shift, but taken together, it looks like a fairly solid update. If the pricing holds up across markets, the A37 could land as another dependable mid-range option once it officially launches.

Marshall has introduced the Bromley 450, a new party speaker that sits below the Bromley 750. It is designed to be smaller and more affordable while keeping the same core features and sound profile.

The Bromley 450 has a box-style design wrapped in water-based PU leather. It uses soft TPU corner caps for added protection and a stamped metal grille on the front. The speaker also includes built-in stage lights inspired by 1970s shows. Physical tactile controls are placed on top for easy use, especially in loud or crowded spaces.

It delivers True Stereophonic 360° sound through drivers placed on multiple sides. This allows the audio to spread evenly in all directions, whether indoors or outdoors. The sound is tuned for strong bass, clear mids, and detailed highs, so it works well across different types of music.

The speaker is portable and comes with a built-in handle. It has an IP55 rating, which means it is resistant to dust and water splashes. This makes it suitable for use in parks, backyards, beaches, or festival setups.

Battery life is a major highlight. The Bromley 450 offers over 40 hours of playback on a single charge, which can cover long sessions or multiple events. It supports interchangeable batteries that are also used in the Bromley 750, so you can swap batteries when needed. The speaker can also run on an AC cable, which can charge the battery at the same time.

It includes three-stage light presets. One provides ambient lighting, while the other two sync with the music for a more active light effect. The speaker also has two combo input jacks for microphones and instruments, making it easy to set up karaoke or a small live performance.

Pricing & availability

The Marshall Bromley 450 is priced at €649, which is about $746. It is available from March 17 on Marshall’s website, with retail availability starting March 31.

Nike and Beats have introduced the Powerbeats Pro 2 Nike Special Edition, a new set of wireless earbuds designed for fitness-focused users. The collaboration combines performance features with a distinct dual-brand design and adds health tracking capabilities aimed at athletes.

The earbuds feature secure-fit earhooks to keep them stable during high-intensity workouts. They include Active Noise Cancelling for blocking external noise and a Transparency mode that lets users stay aware of their surroundings when needed. Sweat and water resistance ensure reliability across workouts such as running, strength training, and outdoor sessions.

A key addition is built-in heart rate monitoring during workouts. The feature integrates with the Nike Run Club app, allowing users to track performance without needing a separate wearable. Nike and Beats are positioning this as a step toward more integrated fitness audio products.

The earbuds come with five ear tip sizes to improve comfort and fit across different users. Battery life is rated at up to 45 hours with the included wireless charging case, making them suitable for extended use across multiple sessions.

Design is a major focus of this edition. The earbuds use a two-tone Volt and matte black finish. In a first for Beats, the branding is split across the earbuds, with the “b” logo on one side and the Nike Swoosh on the other. The charging case follows the same visual theme with a Volt splatter design and Nike’s “Just Do It” tagline inside. The product is also part of a campaign featuring LeBron James, highlighting its use across training and recovery routines.

The Powerbeats Pro 2 Nike Special Edition was first made available through an early-access lottery on March 17 via SNKRS. It will launch globally on March 20 through Nike.com, Apple.com, and select Apple Stores.

In India, the earbuds are priced at $249.99 and will be available online only through Apple’s website. In-store availability is limited to select Apple Store locations in markets such as the United States, the United Kingdom, China, and Singapore.

Nothing has started rolling out the first software update for the Phone (4a), just days after the device went on sale. The update is based on Nothing OS 4.1 and carries the build number B4.1-260309-1830, with a download size of 257MB. This update brings the March 2026 Android security patch along with several new features across the system, camera, and UI.

The update introduces Breathing Break widgets in the widget drawer, offering guided exercises for relaxation. Live Updates now extend across the lock screen, notification panel, and Glyph Interface, allowing users to track real-time activity from supported apps like Google Maps. The status bar also shows a dedicated icon when Nothing headphones are connected. Compatibility for Live Updates depends on app support and region.

In the Glyph Interface, the Essential Notifications settings UI has been redesigned for better clarity. A new generative ringtone feature has been added, enabling custom sounds paired with unique Glyph lighting patterns for calls and notifications.

Nothing has also expanded its Essential AI tools. The widget drawer now includes a recommendation section for quicker access to Nothing Playground and AI-driven community content. The Essential Space interface has been updated with a cleaner layout, along with new “For You” and “Library” sections. A new Events feature helps organise tasks, and a search function has been added for faster navigation. Some of these features will require a separate update via Google Play.

Visual changes include a new lock screen clock face inspired by the Phone (3a) Community Edition, co-created with community member Jad Zock. Lock screen customisation now supports Depth effect in beta, along with adjustable clock sizes and alignment. The password screen now includes a wallpaper blur effect, and dual network signals are merged into a single status bar icon.

Camera improvements include new presets such as an India-exclusive “Cricket” watermark and an “Amber” portrait mode. Playground Sync allows one-tap preset imports, while power-saving recording dims the screen during idle video capture. Image processing has also been improved with better exposure, colour accuracy, and HDR.

The update also improves system stability, network performance, and fixes display issues. The device may heat up during installation, but it will return to normal after completion.

Oura has officially introduced the Oura Ring 4 in India. First launched globally in October 2024, the smart ring is now available at over 100 Croma stores and on Amazon.in.

The Silver and Black variants are priced at ₹28,900, while the premium Stealth, Brushed Silver, Gold, and Rose Gold finishes come with a price tag of ₹39,900. To access all app features, users must pay a monthly subscription fee of ₹599.

Oura Ring 4 Specifications

The Oura Ring 4 tracks over 50 health metrics, including sleep patterns, heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV), stress levels, blood oxygen levels (SpO₂), and daytime activity. The ring uses AI-powered insights to help users understand their health data and make improvements. The device does not have a screen or notifications, and it focuses on providing long-term wellness insights rather than real-time updates.

The Oura Ring 4 features several hardware upgrades over its predecessor. The ring now includes 18 sensing pathways, which improve accuracy for metrics like HRV and blood oxygen levels. The titanium construction makes it lightweight, durable, and comfortable for all-day wear. The device is water-resistant up to 100 meters and has a battery life of 5 to 8 days, with a full charge taking just 20 to 80 minutes.

The company has also drawn attention to sleep-related challenges in India through its report, India: The State of Sleep 2026. According to the findings, Indians get an average of just 6 hours and 28 minutes of sleep per night, around 40 minutes less than those in the highest-sleeping countries.

Bedtimes tend to stretch late, averaging 12:14 AM, while users typically wake up at 7:43 AM, leaving limited time for proper recovery. Many try to make up for this deficit with daytime naps, which reach an average of 53 minutes on Mondays, the highest globally. Through its platform, Oura aims to help users better understand and improve their sleep and overall recovery.

The Oura Ring 4 is available in six finishes and multiple sizes (4-15) to ensure a proper fit. The device integrates with over 40 apps and works with both Android and iOS.

In related news, we recently wrote an article about smart rings in 2026, discussing whether they are just a niche fad or the next big wearable revolution.

Xiaomi is close to launching the Xiaomi 17T series, and a new report may have spilled the beans on two upcoming phones in the lineup. According to information shared by tipster Digital Chat Station, Xiaomi is working on two new mid-range phones expected to launch in Q2 2026.

While the leak doesn’t reveal the phones’ names, they are expected to be part of the Xiaomi 17T series.

According to the tipster, the vanilla Xiaomi 17T could feature a 6.59-inch flat display with a 1.5K resolution. It may also pack a battery of around 7,000mAh and could be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8500 processor.

Meanwhile, the higher-end 17T Pro variant is expected to feature the more powerful MediaTek Dimensity 9500. On the camera side, the Pro model may include a periscope telephoto lens.

Software-wise, the devices are likely to run a newer version of HyperOS, though specifics remain unclear.

What else do we know?

A previous report also hints that 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.

According to reports, 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.

Samsung’s Galaxy A series doesn’t usually go for big surprises, and from the latest leaks, the Galaxy A57 seems to follow that same pattern, just with a few practical upgrades here and there.

New details shared by @Alfaturk16 on X include what look like promo materials and internal diagrams of the device. The design is probably the first thing people will notice. The A57 is said to use a unibody metal build, measuring 6.9mm in thickness and weighing around 179 grams. That would make it slimmer and a bit easier to handle than recent models. The bezels also seem slightly reduced, though not dramatically.

Camera hardware looks familiar. There’s a 50MP main sensor, backed by a 12MP ultra-wide that supports 4K at 30fps, along with a 5MP macro lens. On the front, a 12MP selfie camera handles video and photos, also with 4K support.

Software might be where things are intended to feel a little different. The phone is expected to run One UI 8.5 based on Android 16, with features like Now Brief, some level of AI-powered search, and updates to Bixby. How useful those actually are will depend on how well they’re implemented. Samsung’s AI features have been a bit hit-or-miss so far.

Under the hood, the Exynos 1680 is expected to power the device. It’s likely aimed at steady, everyday performance rather than anything too demanding. More interesting is the cooling setup. The leaked internal views suggest a larger vapor chamber, which could help keep performance stable over longer sessions.

The display is a 6.7-inch OLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, paired with an in-display fingerprint sensor. Battery capacity is listed at 5,000mAh, with 45W charging support.

Overall, the A57 feels more like a careful update than a major step forward. Still, if these changes hold up, it should fit comfortably into Samsung’s mid-range lineup once it arrives.
