Xiaomi CEO to livestream full teardown of its new SU7 sedan

1 April 2026 at 13:28
Xiaomi SU7 teardown

Xiaomi unveiled the 2026 model of its Xiaomi SU7 electric sedan last month in China, and now the company is taking an unusual approach to show it off.

According to its official Weibo account, Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun will host a live teardown of the SU7 on April 2, from 7 PM to midnight. Here, instead of just talking about the car, the CEO will disassemble the car piece by piece on camera. 

And yes, this includes everything from exterior color finishes and interior components to more complex areas like the chassis, safety systems, and battery pack. Experts are likely to join the stream to explain what’s being shown, so this won’t just be a visual teardown.

Xiaomi just started delivering the new SU7

The company officially began deliveries of the new-generation model on March 23. Since then, Xiaomi says it has already delivered over 7,000 units of the updated SU7.

The new model has a longer range (up to 902 km in the Pro version), standardized LiDAR for enhanced intelligent driving, an improved “Dragon Chassis,” and a revised exterior design with new color options.

Xiaomi SU7 teardown

Lei Jun previously said Xiaomi started preparing for mass production about two months ahead of schedule. The goal, at least as described, is to shorten the gap between order and delivery. Buyers are now expected to receive their cars within one to five weeks.

In terms of scale, Xiaomi Auto reports it delivered more than 20,000 vehicles in March 2026 alone. The figure, as expected, includes the newly updated SU7.

A teardown livestream doesn’t necessarily change how the car performs on the road, but it does offer a different kind of transparency. For a company still relatively new to building cars, showing the internal structure in this way could be an attempt to build confidence.

Oppo K15 Pro+ official with 165Hz display, and 8000mAh battery

1 April 2026 at 13:03
Oppo-K15-Pro-Plus-Specs-Price-and-Launch

Alongside the K15 Pro, Oppo also announced the more powerful K15 Pro+ in China. It builds on the same idea but adds a faster processor, a higher refresh rate display, and more aggressive gaming features. Let’s walk through its specs and features here. 

Oppo K15 Pro Plus Specifications 

The Pro+ is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9500s chip, which sits just below MediaTek’s current-best Dimensity 9500 processor. It has a Cortex-X925 core (@3.73GHz), three Cortex-X4 (@3.30GHz), and four Cortex-A720 (@2GHz) cores, and more than 29 billion transistors. 

Compared to the K15 Pro’s optical fingerprint sensor, the K15 Pro Plus features a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. It also has a bigger battery of 8000mAh with faster 100W charging. 

The biggest visible upgrade is the display, though. The Pro+ uses a 6.78-inch screen with a higher 165Hz refresh rate. Oppo says the device supports native 165fps gameplay in select popular titles, though real-world support will depend heavily on game optimization.

The phone also includes a dedicated touch chip designed to improve sensitivity and reduce latency. Then there’s a new “Lingxi button” that allows users to map controls or shortcuts to different parts of the device.

As for the audio, it features a four-unit coaxial speaker system. 

In terms of design, the Pro Plus is similar to the K15 Pro. Both have a metal frame design along with a cooling fan on the back and an LED light system for notifications. The rear camera also features the same 50MP main with OIS, 8MP ultrawide on the rear, and a 16MP lens on the front. 

Pricing and Availability

The Pro+ comes at a higher price, but still below most flagship phones:

  • 12GB + 256GB: 3499 yuan (~$485 USD)
  • 12GB + 256GB (higher tier): 3699 yuan (~$515 USD)
  • 12GB + 512GB: 4199 yuan (~$585 USD)

As with the standard model, early discounts and subsidies can reduce the price in China.

vivo X300 Ultra Hands-on: It might as well be called the X200s Ultra

1 April 2026 at 12:51

Amid much anticipation, the king of camera phones in 2025 was updated with the vivo X300 Ultra at the end of March 2026.

Among a crowd of Ultra models, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra by Leica features the best optical zoom lens in the world, and the stunning colors of the Leica Essential mode leave a deep impression. As for the OPPO Find X9 Ultra, although it hasn’t been released yet, the official has already revealed an exciting piece of information: it will come with a 200MP 3x telephoto, along with the world’s best 10x ultra-telephoto camera.

In contrast, the vivo X300 Ultra doesn’t seem to bring us many surprises, and there are even “downgrades” in its camera specifications. If last year’s X200 Ultra was one of my favorite phones, then this year’s X300 Ultra is probably no longer on that “favorites” list.

Camera

Looking purely at the raw capabilities of the camera system, the X300 Ultra remains one of the strongest contenders. However, when compared to its predecessor, it feels like vivo hasn’t fully pushed the envelope. Most of the upgrades are concentrated on the main camera, which now features a slightly larger sensor and higher pixel count. And It also follows the industry trend by incorporating a 5MP multispectral camera.

The ultra-wide camera remains largely unchanged, while the apertures on both the main and telephoto cameras have actually been reduced. For a device priced over $1,000, seeing such minimal hardware improvements is unlikely to sit well with most users. All that’s left is to hope the real-world camera performance delivers a pleasant surprise.

Teleconverter

That said, for those with ultra-long-distance photography needs, vivo remains a trusted choice. Its teleconverter kit was well-received last year, and the new iteration should be no exception. The new 200mm teleconverter is significantly more compact, and an additional 400mm lens is now available. If you’re determined to capture wildlife on the African savannah or shoot from the back of a concert hall using a smartphone, the X300 Ultra paired with the teleconverter kit might be your best option.

Unlike the hardware, the camera software sees no downgrades. The most notable addition is a new photo color tuning style—no need to guess where the inspiration comes from, right? There are also two new photography styles, said to be developed using vivo’s latest color science. We’ll dive into how effective these new features are in our full review.

Design

Aside from the camera, I also have some reservations about the design. The X300 Ultra is available in three colors. While the black version remains as satisfying as ever, the other two fall short of their counterparts on the X200 Ultra. The white model, in particular, feels a bit overdone—in my opinion, the snow mountain pattern is simply unnecessary. Then again, maybe I’m wrong—maybe it could end up being a favorite for some people.

After a year of trial and error, vivo has finally come to the conclusion that the camera control button was unnecessary—so it’s gone on the X300 Ultra. Personally, I wish they had added an AI button instead; having an extra customizable button is quite convenient for everyday use.

Other

Other changes aren’t very noticeable. For example, the body is slightly thinner, but the weight has increased a bit. Charging power has gone up slightly, and so has the battery capacity, both by around 10%. As for the processor, it’s definitely the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen5.

The screen refresh rate has been upgraded to 144Hz, while the resolution remains at 2K (3168×1440), and the display finally uses flat glass. The bezels are very narrow and appear symmetrical on all four sides. There are also some upgrades that aren’t visible from the outside, including an improved vibration motor and top speaker.

During the initial hands-on, the X300 Ultra feels more like an X200s Ultra – far from what I would define as a true next-generation upgrade.

The good news is that we can still safely say it remains one of the most powerful camera phones on the market. If you really love a 35mm main camera, then the X300 Ultra is indeed a more reassuring choice than the Nubia Z80 Ultra. But beyond that, if you are holding an X200 Ultra, I don’t see enough must-buy reasons to upgrade. I would even recommend buying the X200 Ultra instead—it’s not that different from the X300 Ultra, but costs less. Meanwhile, I’m more looking forward to the OPPO Find X9 Ultra, which, based on the rumors we know so far, feels much closer to what the X300 Ultra should have been—the true king of camera phones. In any case, please wait and see whether our real-world tests and full review prove us completely wrong.


The X300 Ultra is now available on GeekWills.

Camera

Main and Secondary Lenses

Samsung delivers a versatile triple-camera setup with a 50MP main sensor, 3x telephoto, and ultrawide lens. This flexibility makes it more capable across different scenarios, especially zoom and wide shots. The iPhone 17e sticks to a single 48MP camera, which performs excellently in most conditions but lacks the versatility of multiple lenses. Apple’s image processing is refined, but hardware limitations are noticeable.

Selfie Camera

Both phones feature 12MP front cameras with strong video capabilities. Apple adds Face ID and spatial features, making it slightly more advanced for biometrics and video recording. Samsung’s selfie camera is consistent and sharp, but less feature-packed.

Verdict

Galaxy S26 wins for versatility and overall camera system depth, while iPhone 17e remains strong for consistent point-and-shoot photography.

Pricing

The Galaxy S26 is priced around $900 (₹88,000), while the iPhone 17e comes in significantly lower at $600 (₹65,000). This creates a clear gap in positioning. Samsung targets the premium flagship segment, while Apple focuses on delivering a more affordable entry into its ecosystem.

Is the Price Justified?

Samsung justifies its higher price with a better display, more powerful hardware, additional cameras, and extra features like DeX and reverse charging. It feels like a full flagship experience. The iPhone 17e, however, offers strong value for those who want Apple performance and software at a lower cost, even if it compromises on hardware.

Verdict

iPhone 17e wins on value for money, but Galaxy S26 justifies its price with a more complete flagship package.

Disclaimer:
Prices are approximate and may vary based on country, region, and applicable taxes.

Conclusion

The Galaxy S26 stands out with features like Samsung DeX, a high-refresh-rate display, a triple-camera system, and longer software support. It feels designed for power users who want flexibility and cutting-edge hardware. The iPhone 17e focuses on simplicity, offering a clean iOS experience, reliable performance, and ecosystem advantages like Face ID and satellite features.

Verdict

Galaxy S26 is the better overall smartphone for those seeking top-tier specs, versatility, and future-proofing. However, the iPhone 17e remains a smart pick for users who prioritize value, smooth software, and a straightforward flagship experience without paying premium prices.

Disclaimer: This comparison is based on the specifications provided and is intended for general informational purposes. Actual performance, camera results, battery life, and overall experience may vary depending on real-world usage, software updates, and individual preferences.

MediaTek Dimensity 9600 to feature dual prime cores in a first for the Dimensity 9-series

1 April 2026 at 11:10
MediaTek-Dimensity-9600-two-prime-cores

Just as rumors begin to swirl around Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6, a new leak from tipster Digital Chat Station is shedding light on what MediaTek has in store next.

According to recent reports, the Dimensity 9600 will be built on TSMC’s 2nm N2P process. But the more interesting shift could be in its CPU design. The chip is rumored to adopt a new 2+3+3 layout, two “prime” cores paired with six high-performance cores.

If true, this would be the first time MediaTek’s Dimensity 9 series will move to a dual prime-core configuration. For context, Dimensity 9500 has one ARM C1-Ultra (4.21GHz) for peak performance, three ARM C1-Premium (3.5GHz) for sustained power, and four ARM C1-Pro (2.7GHz) for efficiency. 

Digital Chat Station says the dual prime-core setup in Dimensity 9600 is internally referred to as “Canyon.”

Even its competitor has a similar setup

On paper, this setup should make the Dimensity 9600 better equipped to handle demanding workloads, especially as AI tasks continue to grow more complex. Paired with the new process node, the chip is expected to deliver a noticeable jump over its predecessor.

As for graphics, the Dimensity 9600 is said to include a new GPU with neural network shader technology that should improve coordination between the GPU and NPU. Better collaboration between these components could reduce power draw while maintaining smoother performance.

Meanwhile, its competition isn’t standing still. The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 is also rumored to adopt a similar 2+3+3 CPU layout. Not to forget, Qualcomm’s solution relies on its in-house Oryon cores, while the Dimensity 9600 will feature ARM’s upcoming Cortex-C2 series cores. 

This sets up a familiar situation where both companies are chasing similar architectural goals, even if their execution differs.

1 April 2026 at 10:02
Oppo Find X9s Pro

Oppo is yet to complete the Find X9 series — the Find X9s Pro and Find X9 Ultra are set to launch on April 21. But if you’ve been following us, early details of the Find X10 lineup have already started to surface in the rumor mill.

And while there’s little doubt that the first devices in the Find X10 series will launch later this year, an Oppo official has confirmed that there won’t be an Oppo Find X10 Ultra in 2026.

Oppo Find X10 Ultra launch leak

Zhuo Shijie, who heads Oppo’s Find series products, stated plainly that the Oppo Find X10 Ultra isn’t coming in 2026. “I can tell you with certainty that the Find X10 Ultra will not be launched this year. Please stop believing the rumors,” he said on the Chinese social media platform Weibo.

Realme C100 5G and C100i 4G appear in unboxing and hands-on images ahead of launch

1 April 2026 at 03:15

Two upcoming models, the Realme C100 and C100i, have shown up in a hands-on video from Thailand, giving a fairly detailed early look. One of them has even popped up on a local retailer listing, so these don’t seem too far from an official launch.

Starting with the C100, it’s a fairly large device. You’re looking at a 6.8-inch LCD panel with 720p+ resolution and, interestingly, a 144Hz refresh rate, which is not something you usually see at this level. Brightness is rated at up to 900 nits, so it should be usable outdoors.

The phone is powered by the Dimensity 6300 5G, paired with either 4GB or 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. There’s also a dedicated microSD slot, which is becoming less common but still useful in this segment.

Battery is also a key highlight of this C100. The phone packs a 7,000mAh cell, which is quite large even by today’s standards. Charging is capped at 15W though, so topping it up will likely take some time.

You get a 50MP main camera, a 5MP front shooter, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and IP64 protection. The phone is listed in Thailand at around THB 7,000 to 7,500, depending on the RAM variant.

The C100i sits a bit lower in the lineup. It keeps the same screen size and battery, but drops to a 120Hz refresh rate and runs on a Unisoc T606/T616-class chip, so performance will be more basic. Cellular connectivity will also be limited to 4G.

What’s a bit unclear right now is how these fit into Realme’s existing lineup. Phones like the C85 offer more RAM or faster charging at similar prices.

More details should follow once Realme makes things official, but for now, this looks like a pretty straightforward push toward endurance-focused budget phones.

Lava Bold N2 Pro launches under ₹10,000 with upgraded chipset and camera over Bold N2

1 April 2026 at 02:00

Lava is back with another budget phone. Just weeks after the Bold N2, the company has now introduced the Bold N2 Pro, and the “Pro” tag doesn’t follow the usual pattern here. Instead of going bigger or more expensive, the N2 Pro is actually a bit more compact and, in some ways, better balanced. It still sticks to 4G though, which might raise a few eyebrows.

The phone runs on the Unisoc T7250, a 12nm chip with Cortex-A75 and A55 cores, along with a Mali-G57 GPU. It should handle basic tasks like calling, messaging, online payments, and watching YouTube. There’s only one variant for now, 4GB RAM with 128GB storage.

On the front, you get a 6.67-inch LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 720p+ resolution. It ships with Android 15, although Lava is promising just one major update and two years of security patches. That’s fairly standard for this price segment, nothing surprising there.

Battery capacity sits at 5,000mAh, with support for 18W charging. Slight catch though, the bundled charger is only 10W, so you won’t get the full speed unless you use a different adapter.

Cameras see a noticeable upgrade this time. There’s a 50MP main sensor on the back and an 8MP front camera, which is a decent jump over the 13MP+5MP setup of the standard N2. You also get IP54 protection, so basic dust and splash resistance is covered.

Comparing the two, the regular Bold N2 has a slightly larger display and a higher IP64 rating, but it runs on a much older UNISOC 9863a chip and Android 15 Go.

Pricing and availability:

Pricing is where things get interesting. The Bold N2 Pro is listed at ₹8,000 on Flipkart, lower than the N2’s ₹9,000 price. For what it offers, especially the storage, display smoothness, and camera upgrade, it looks like Lava is trying to squeeze out a bit more value rather than just pushing specs on paper.

Casio Pro Trek brings Yosemite-inspired design with a Thick Steel Bezel and Cold Resistance Down to -10°C

1 April 2026 at 01:36
PRW-B1000B-2JF

Casio Pro Trek PRW-B1000B-2 has been announced in Japan and is set to launch in April 2026. The model takes design cues from Yosemite National Park and is built for outdoor use with a focus on durability, navigation, and safety.

Casio Pro Trek PRW-B1000B-2

The watch is part of the Pro Trek PRW-B1000 Climber Line. It runs on Tough Solar power, which converts sunlight and indoor light into energy for stable operation. It supports Multi Band 6 radio signals and Bluetooth connectivity for automatic time correction, so it always shows the correct time.

It comes with a triple sensor system that measures direction, barometric pressure, altitude, and temperature. The digital compass uses the second hand to indicate north. A location indicator helps with navigation. The small hand at 3 o’clock points toward a saved location, and the LCD shows the distance from the current position. Users can record a location directly from the watch, which helps when returning during a hike or locating a parked vehicle. It is also water resistant up to 100 m and can operate in low temperatures down to -10°C.

When paired with a smartphone app, the watch can automatically correct altitude data, record routes, and show directions to a destination. It also supports route log tracking for activity records.

The design reflects Yosemite’s rocky terrain. The stainless steel bezel has a sharp, multi-sided structure with slits at the corners that represent cracks in rock surfaces. The dial has a layered design for added depth. Large hands and three-dimensional indices improve readability. The small hand at 9 o’clock is shaped like a climbing piton, referencing climbing gear from the 1970s. Large metal buttons and a crown make it easier to operate the watch while wearing gloves.

The case uses flame-retardant biomass plastic and meets UL94 V-0 certification. This means it will stop burning when the flame source is removed and helps reduce fire spread. The band is made from CORDURA re/cor material, which is lightweight, durable, and made from recycled waste. It is also flame-resistant, reducing the risk of damage from sparks during camping or cooking.

The watch is priced at ¥89,100, which is about $561. It is also listed on Casio’s global website, which suggests a wider international release could follow.

Ayaneo discontinues Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered Pocket Fit handheld citing high costs

1 April 2026 at 00:38
Pocket Fit 8 Elite

Ayaneo has announced the upcoming discontinuation of its Android-based Pocket Fit 8 Elite gaming handheld. The company confirmed that rising RAM and storage costs have made further production unsustainable. After fulfilling pre-orders and completing one final restock, Ayaneo will end production of the device.

The Pocket Fit 8 Elite, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, has begun shipping to backers after months of production delays. Ayaneo prioritized shipping orders as soon as individual SKUs left the factory.

Pocket Fit 8 Elite

The company stated that it is committed to completing all outstanding pre-orders before selling remaining inventory to the public. However, future production costs will increase significantly, making this restock likely the last.

Ayaneo revealed that the global RAM shortage had a significant impact on the Pocket Fit 8 Elite. The company attributed months of delays to supply chain disruptions.

Although Ayaneo reserved materials for limited additional production, the rising cost of components prevents the product from being a long-term offering. Ayaneo has no plans to produce more units after the next restock.

This isn’t an isolated situation for Ayaneo. Several other handhelds in the company’s lineup are also facing production limitations. The Pocket Vert and Pocket S Mini will not be restocked once the current inventory sells out.

For the Pocket Air Mini, Ayaneo confirmed that free promotional units will end after April 1, 2026. Meanwhile, the Pocket DS is available for limited pre-orders, but its future batches remain uncertain.

The company also shared an update on its Next 2 flagship Windows handheld. Ayaneo suspended sales of the Next 2 due to rapidly increasing storage prices.

Costs have grown to nearly double the original estimates, making the device unsustainable to sell at its current retail price. Pre-orders of the Next 2 will still be fulfilled, and Ayaneo plans to resume sales if prices stabilize in the future.

Ayaneo reassured backers that it will provide after-sales support and spare parts for both the Pocket Fit 8 Elite and Next 2.

Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro Bring New Motion Sickness Solution With Audio Therapy

31 March 2026 at 23:50
Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro

Samsung has introduced a new approach to managing motion sickness through its Galaxy Buds 4 Pro and the Hearapy app. The solution uses a controlled audio signal instead of medication or physical remedies, targeting the inner ear to reduce symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, and sweating.

Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro

Motion sickness affects nearly one-third of people and occurs when the body receives conflicting signals. The balance system in the inner ear detects movement, while the eyes may focus on a stationary object like a phone or book. This mismatch triggers stress responses. Existing solutions have largely relied on medication or acupressure.

Samsung’s method is based on research conducted at Nagoya University in Japan. The study identified that a 100 Hz sine wave can stimulate the vestibular system, which is responsible for balance. In testing, participants who listened to this tone at 80 to 85 dB for 60 seconds reported reduced symptoms during car travel. The effect was observed to last up to two hours.

The Hearapy app delivers this tone through a Galaxy smartphone, with a built-in timer set to 60 seconds and volume calibrated to around 85 dB. For the effect to work, the sound must be played without interference from music or external noise, and both ears must be exposed before travel.

The Galaxy Buds 4 Pro are designed to reproduce this frequency accurately. The earbuds feature a larger mid-bass driver area, increased by nearly 20 percent compared to the previous model, along with an updated two-way speaker system. They support 24-bit/96 kHz audio via Samsung Seamless Codec Ultra High Quality, enabling precise sound output.

The earbuds also include Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation supported by six microphones, which detect ambient noise and generate opposing signals to reduce it. Adaptive EQ further adjusts sound in real time based on fit and surroundings. These features help maintain a stable 100 Hz tone, which is required for the system to work as intended.

TCL X11L flagship Mini LED TVs launch in Europe with advanced dimming and AI processing

31 March 2026 at 22:46

TCL has launched its 2026 flagship X11L SQD Mini LED TV series in Europe, months after its global debut at CES 2026. Before that, the flagship TV was unveiled in China in September 2025. The lineup includes three sizes: 75-inch, 85-inch, and 98-inch models, listed in Europe with an EU suffix to differentiate them from US variants.

TCL X11L SQD-Mini LED TV

The X11L series is built around TCL’s latest SQD Mini LED technology, combining a dense grid of Precise Dimming Zones with a Super Quantum Dot layer and an Ultra Color Filter panel. This setup is designed to improve brightness control, reduce blooming, and expand color reproduction. TCL states that the TVs can reach up to 100% of the BT.2020 color gamut and deliver peak brightness levels of up to 10,000 nits.

A key hardware upgrade is the WHVA 2.0 Ultra Panel, developed by TCL’s subsidiary CSOT. It uses nanoscale structures inspired by butterfly wings to improve light control and native contrast. The panel also includes a low-reflection coating for better visibility in bright environments and supports wide viewing angles to maintain consistent color and contrast off-axis.

TCL X11L SQD-Mini LED TV

TCL has also introduced its All-domain Halo Control Technology, which combines a redesigned light-emitting chip, a micro-lens array, and a Micro-OD optical structure.

Global NAND Shortage Hits Sony as SD and CFexpress Card Orders Halted

31 March 2026 at 21:48

The global memory shortage is now hitting consumer products, and Sony is one of the latest to feel the impact.

The company has suspended orders for CFexpress Type A, CFexpress Type B, and SD memory cards starting March 27, 2026. The decision applies to both authorized dealers and direct customers through the Sony Store. In a notice published on its Japanese website, Sony said the move is due to a global shortage of semiconductors, specifically memory, which has made it difficult to meet demand.

Sony added that it does not have a timeline for when orders will resume. The company said it will monitor supply conditions and announce updates later. While some low-end SD cards may still be in production, most of its memory card lineup is affected. For now, existing retail stock may be the last available units for some time.

This situation points to a broader change happening in the semiconductor industry. Memory makers are now focusing more on higher-margin products like high-bandwidth memory and server-grade DRAM, which are widely used in AI data centers. As a result, there’s less supply available for consumer NAND flash and standard DRAM.

The impact is already visible across the market. Western Digital said earlier this year that it had sold out its entire hard drive supply for 2026, months in advance. NAND producers are also facing tight capacity, with much of their output locked into long-term contracts with cloud providers and AI firms.

Prices are rising as a result. Both NAND flash and DRAM have seen sharp increases, with some reports pointing to price jumps of up to 50 percent in a short period. PC makers and hardware vendors have started passing these costs on to consumers. Sony’s move also comes alongside price hikes for its PlayStation consoles, suggesting broader pressure on its supply chain.

With AI infrastructure demand still growing, the memory shortage is expected to continue, affecting everything from data centers to everyday storage products.

There are growing signs that the DIY PC crowd is starting to pull back a bit. The latest sales data out of Europe suggests things have cooled off more than usual. Numbers from German retailer Mindfactory for week 13 of 2026, shared by TechEpiphany, show desktop CPU sales dropping to their lowest level on record. That’s not something you see often.

A big part of it seems fairly straightforward. Building or upgrading a PC just costs more right now. CPUs, GPUs, even memory and storage have all crept up in price, and it’s starting to add up. For a lot of people, it probably makes more sense to wait rather than jump in.

AMD is still dominating sales, and by a wide margin. The company accounted for around 89% of CPUs sold during the week, leaving Intel with just over 10%. Even with Intel’s newer Core Ultra 200S Plus chips on the market, demand hasn’t really picked up. The Core Ultra 7 265K, which was Intel’s top seller for the period, reportedly moved only 10 units.

What’s interesting is where buyers are still spending. Older AMD chips like the Ryzen 7 5700X and Ryzen 5 5500 continue to sell, mostly because they’re cheaper and still pair with DDR4 memory. That combination still offers solid value, especially compared to newer platforms that require DDR5.

Intel’s side tells a similar story. A lot of its sales are still tied to previous-generation chips, even with some discounts starting to show up on newer models.

Taken together, it paints a pretty clear picture. Demand for DIY PC parts hasn’t disappeared, but people are being more cautious. With prices where they are, many seem willing to sit this cycle out and wait for things to settle a bit. Whether that changes soon will likely depend on how quickly component prices come down.

Honor announces compact 360W power adapter for gaming laptops

31 March 2026 at 20:47

Ahead of the debut of its first Win-branded gaming laptop in China, Honor has revealed a new 360W GaN charger, giving a hint at the kind of hardware this machine is expected to run.

The charger was teased by Honor exec Lin Lin on Weibo. On paper, it combines GaN and SiC materials, which have become pretty common in high-end chargers over the past couple of years. The main benefit is better efficiency without the usual bulk that comes with high-wattage laptop bricks. The size is also compact for what it is.

Weight is where it gets a bit more interesting. The charger comes in at around 405 grams, which is noticeably lighter than most 300W adapters you typically get with gaming laptops. Not exactly pocketable, but definitely easier to carry around in a bag.

Honor is sticking with a standard barrel connector here instead of going fully USB-C. That might feel a bit dated, although it’s still the norm for higher power gaming systems. The company hasn’t said anything about official USB-C converters yet, but third-party options exist and are easy to find.

Another small but useful detail, the charger won’t be limited to the upcoming laptop. Honor plans to sell it separately as well, which could make it a decent option for other high-performance laptops that can handle this level of power input.

As for the laptop itself, early details point to configurations going up to an RTX 5070 Laptop GPU paired with an Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX. Combined power draw is said to cross 250W, so a 360W adapter gives some breathing room for sustained loads.

The official launch is expected sometime in April 2026, with more details, including pricing, likely coming very soon.

TCL C7L TV announced with SQD Mini LED, Dolby Vision, and 288Hz VRR support

31 March 2026 at 18:38
TCL C7L SQD-Mini LED TV

TCL has introduced the C7L series as part of its 2026 TV lineup, targeting the upper mid-range Mini-LED segment, with a focus on balanced performance across brightness, gaming, and smart features. The series combines high refresh rate panels, advanced backlighting, and a full set of HDR and connectivity options.

TCL C7L SQD-Mini LED TV

The C7L features a 4K panel with a native 144 Hz refresh rate and support for higher variable refresh rates through TCL’s Game Accelerator technology. When connected to compatible HDMI sources, VRR can scale up to 288 Hz. The TV supports Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and HLG formats, along with wide BT.2020 color coverage.

At the core is TCL’s SQD-Mini LED backlighting system paired with a CSOT HVA 2.0 panel. This setup is designed to improve contrast and light control using precise dimming zones. Depending on screen size, local dimming ranges from around 800 zones on smaller models to up to 2,176 zones on larger variants. Peak brightness is rated at up to 3,000 nits on select models.

TCL also includes its halo control system, combining a new light-emitting chip, micro lens design, and light control algorithms to reduce blooming and improve backlight uniformity. The HVA 2.0 panel adds higher native contrast and uses an upgraded color filter to improve color accuracy and viewing angles. A low-reflection layer is also included to reduce glare.

Gaming features include HDMI 2.1, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, and a Game Master mode with a dedicated Game Bar interface for quick settings. Dolby Vision gaming is supported, along with low-latency features.

Audio is handled by a 2.2-channel speaker system tuned by Bang and Olufsen, with Dolby Atmos support. The TV runs on Google TV, with built-in Google Assistant, and supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.4 for connectivity.

Redditor grabs 64GB DDR5 RAM kit for $6.99 in wild deal

31 March 2026 at 16:22

Good hardware deals aren’t exactly rare, but once in a while something shows up that makes you stop for a second. This is one of those. A Reddit user, u/L0OK0UTT, recently shared what might be one of the wildest RAM deals in recent memory. They managed to pick up a 64GB DDR5-5600 laptop memory kit from Crucial for just $6.99. The post went up on r/pcmasterrace and quickly started getting attention, especially after a photo of the receipt was included.

The kit itself is pretty standard. It’s a 2×32GB DDR5 SO-DIMM setup, the kind you’d usually see in higher-end laptops or compact workstations. Under normal circumstances, this sort of memory sells somewhere in the $580 to $630 range, depending on the retailer.

What makes this story stand out is how simple it was. The RAM kit was sitting on a rack at a local liquidator store, labeled as an Amazon return, but there was no price attached. When the user took it to checkout, the system couldn’t recognize the item at all. After trying to look it up without success, the cashier eventually just charged a flat $6.99 and moved on. No special discount or clearance tag. Just a case of the system not knowing what it was scanning.

Liquidator stores usually deal with returned or excess inventory, so pricing can be a bit inconsistent. Items aren’t always labeled properly, and sometimes they don’t exist in the system in a clean way. Most of the time that just leads to random pricing, but every now and then something slips through like this.

Deals like this are obviously rare, and not something you can really expect to replicate. Still, if there’s a liquidator store nearby, it might be worth a visit once in a while. Chances are you won’t walk out with 64GB of DDR5 for the price of a coffee, but clearly it’s not impossible.

Oppo K15 Pro specifications confirmed ahead of launch

31 March 2026 at 15:36

Oppo is set to launch its new K15 Pro series tomorrow, and the company has already revealed quite a bit about the phones ahead of the event. Based on the details shared so far, the K15 Pro seems clearly aimed at users who care about performance and battery life.

The Oppo K15 Pro comes with a 6.59-inch display that supports a 144Hz refresh rate. Powering the device is the MediaTek Dimensity 8500 SUPER chipset, paired with what Oppo calls its Tide Engine for performance optimization.

Cooling is another area Oppo is highlighting. The phone includes an active cooling fan along with a large VC heat dissipation plate. On paper, it sounds like the company is trying to keep performance consistent during longer gaming sessions rather than just focusing on peak numbers.

The phone packs a 7,500mAh battery, which is quite large even by current standards. It supports 80W fast charging and includes features like bypass charging and a dedicated battery management chip. If implemented well, this setup could help balance both endurance and charging speed.

The camera setup is fairly standard for this category. There’s a 50MP main sensor with OIS, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 16MP front camera. The device carries an IP69 rating and has reportedly passed multiple durability tests. It also supports satellite connectivity thanks to dual-frequency GPS and China’s BeiDou satellite navigation system.

With the official launch just around the corner, pricing and full details should be revealed soon. From what’s been shared so far, the K15 Pro looks like a device built around sustained performance and battery endurance.

Spring Reset, Elevated: Bluvol’s April Tech Edit Is the Upgrade Your Routine Has Been Waiting For

31 March 2026 at 13:43

This April, Bluvol answers that instinct with a tightly curated release of personal care technology engineered for modern, hyper-mobile living. Designed for those who move between home office, airport lounge, and city street without pause, Bluvol’s newest launches don’t just promise comfort — they deliver performance-level wellness in beautifully compact form.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to reset your routine, this is it.

NEST 10 ULTRA: The Neck Massager That Feels Like Structural Support, Not a Gadget

The NEST 10 ULTRA is the ultimate relaxation tool for desktop users, gamers, frequent travelers, and busy housewives. It creates an immersive “personal zone” by combining superior ergonomics, thermal precision, and audiophile-grade connectivity into one sleek package. If you’re serious about on-the-go recovery, this is the current benchmark.

Structural Ergonomics

Most neck massagers suffer from a “one-size-fits-none” failure. The NEST 10 ULTRA solves this with its Adapora™ C-shaped frame. Its flexible arms provide a customized “hug,” keeping the 3D nodes flush against the trapezius muscles regardless of your build. Whether hunched over a workstation or cramped in an airplane middle seat, the support feels structural rather than just pillowy.

The difference is immediate:

  • No floating massage heads
  • No constant repositioning
  • No shallow pressure

Whether you’re leaning into a laptop or wedged into an airplane middle seat, the sensation is structured, precise, and anatomically aligned.

The MassoHands™ System

The hardware justifies the premium. Utilizing the MassoHands™ system—comprised of two 3D kneading nodes and 20 precision points—the device mimics a professional therapist’s rhythmic pressure. Five intensity levels allow you to toggle between a light lymphatic touch and a deep-tissue release for stubborn knots.

Precision Heat and Audio

The NTC Smart Temperature Control hits its stride in five seconds, maintaining heat within ±1°C. Unlike cheaper competitors that feel inconsistently “scorching,” the NEST provides a steady, spa-like warmth that significantly enhances muscle softening.

The real “tech flex” is the 360° Spatial Audio. Powered by Bluetooth 6.0, the audio is seamless and lossless. Multipoint connectivity is effortless, allowing you to mask office chatter or cabin noise with immersive sound while staying connected to both your phone and laptop simultaneously.

T10 Apex Fodable Pocket Hair Dryer

The T10 Apex is a powerhouse for the modern traveler, packing a high-speed 110,000 RPM brushless motor into a remarkably portable frame. The foldable handle makes it incredibly compact, easily tucked into a handbag or suitcase. For those seeking salon-quality speed and shine without the bulk, the T10 Apex is a travel-ready essential.

31 March 2026 at 12:02
Xiaomi 17 Pro Max

The upcoming Xiaomi 18 series is already generating interest months ahead of its expected debut in China. While the lineup is likely to include multiple models, early leaks have begun highlighting what the top-end variant could offer. As per a new leak, the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max, in particular, is tipped to bring notable changes in camera hardware.

According to tipster Digital Chat Station, the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max engineering prototype is being tested with an upgraded imaging setup. The device is expected to feature a 200-megapixel primary sensor with a large 1/1.28-inch size, built using a 22nm process. This approach is said to improve power efficiency and thermal control while maintaining high-resolution output.

It is also expected to include high frame gain functionality, which enhances image clarity in low-light scenes.

The telephoto camera is also tipped to see a major upgrade, potentially matching the 200-megapixel resolution. It may support macro photography and feature a wider aperture for improved light intake and detail. Together, the setup could form a flagship-grade dual 200-megapixel camera system designed for versatile shooting scenarios.

Last HyperOS update rolling out for Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12 Pro

31 March 2026 at 11:10
Xiaomi 12 Pro last HyperOS update
Xiaomi 12 Pro last HyperOS update

Xiaomi says goodbye to the Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12 Pro as the devices have received their final HyperOS upgrade this month. The phones reached end-of-life (EOL) status in January 2026, meaning they won’t receive any updates, including security patches.

While it may be surprising to see the HyperOS 3 update rolling out to the Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12 Pro after reaching end-of-life status, the update actually resolves issues introduced by the initial HyperOS 3 rollout, such as occasional app crashes and memory management inconsistencies.

Xiaomi 12, 12 Pro EOL status

The latest HyperOS update for the Xiaomi 12 and 12 Pro resolves previous issues, ensuring the devices remain stable and reliable for daily use. Here’s the firmware version of the final HyperOS 3 update for the affected Xiaomi devices:

Xiaomi 12 Pro

  • Indonesia: OS3.0.3.0.VLBIDXM
  • Russia: OS3.0.2.0.VLBRUXM
  • Turkey: OS3.0.2.0.VLBTRXM
  • Taiwan: OS3.0.2.0.VLBTWXM
  • India: OS3.0.2.0.VLBINXM

Xiaomi 12

  • Indonesia: OS3.0.2.0.VLCIDXM
  • Russia: OS3.0.3.0.VLCRUXM
  • Turkey: OS3.0.2.0.VLCTRXM
  • Taiwan: OS3.0.2.0.VLCTWXM

These builds should offer a reliable software experience to Xiaomi 12 and 12 Pro users. However, keep in mind that the devices won’t receive any further updates. That means your device will miss out on the latest HyperOS features and security patches.

While the Xiaomi 12 and 12 Pro will continue to work just fine, it’s best to upgrade to a newer model. Check out the list of Xiaomi devices offering six years of updates to find one that stays relevant for longer.

Since the devices have already reached end-of-life status, they are unlikely to receive the HyperOS 3.1 update, which is already rolling out to eligible devices. You can read more about it in our HyperOS 3.1 section.

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, along with the biggest tech headlines.

Oppo Find X10 Pro Max could drop its ultrawide from 200MP to 50MP

31 March 2026 at 11:08
Oppo Find X9 Pro

Oppo has just announced the global launch date for the Oppo Find X9 Ultra. But in the rumor mill, attention has already shifted a generation ahead to the Oppo Find X10 series. And if you’ve been following along, the Find X10 Pro Max is expected to feature an ambitious camera setup.

According to an earlier report, the device could use 200MP sensors across its wide, ultrawide, and telephoto cameras. Tipster Digital Chat Station has now added more details on the topic.

Oppo Find X10 Pro Max could feature a 50MP ultrawide camera

The latest leak suggests that both the main and telephoto cameras may use a 1/1.3-inch sensor, while the ultrawide could come in slightly smaller at 1/1.5-inch. However, the tipster also notes that Oppo may fall back to a 50MP ultrawide sensor instead. These two configurations are reportedly undergoing A/B testing.

For context, the Find X9 Pro features a 50MP ultrawide and a 50MP main camera, alongside a 200MP periscope telephoto lens.

Oppo Find X9 Pro
Oppo Find X9 Pro

As for the 1/1.3-inch main and telephoto sensors, the same tipster previously claimed they would support technologies such as 4×4 RMSC (Rearranged Pixel Color Information) and UFCC (Ultra Full Color Capture). 

Both are expected to improve color accuracy and dynamic range. The sensors are also rumored to use an advanced manufacturing process to enhance overall image quality, likely for the main camera.

Beyond the cameras, the Find X10 lineup is expected to be among the first devices powered by the upcoming MediaTek Dimensity 9600 chip.

None of these details has been officially confirmed by Oppo yet. Still, the leaks suggest the company may be experimenting with an unusually stacked camera system for its next flagship series. We’ll keep you posted as more information comes to light.

Oppo has officially confirmed that its joint imaging launch event with Hasselblad will take place on April 21 at 7:00 PM in China. The event will introduce both the Find X9 Ultra and Find X9s Pro, with a clear emphasis on pushing smartphone photography further.

The Find X9 Ultra is expected to introduce a new telephoto system featuring a 10x optical zoom lens. The company is said to be using a redesigned prism structure that enhances long-distance shooting capabilities. This setup supports native 10x optical zoom, extends to higher quality zoom levels, and reaches up to 120x digital zoom.

To maintain image stability and consistency, Oppo is incorporating an active optical calibration system during manufacturing. This ensures each unit delivers precise alignment, which is especially important for long-range photography. The device is also tipped to include a custom 50-megapixel sensor paired with an advanced image processing engine for improved clarity and detail.

The Find X9s Pro is positioned as a strong imaging device in its segment, featuring a dual 200-megapixel camera system. This includes a high-resolution primary sensor and a matching telephoto lens, making it one of the few phones in its category with such a setup.

It will be a compact flagship phone equipped with a 6.32-inch OLED panel, a Dimensity 9500 chipset, and a massive battery of around 7,000mAh capacity with 80W charging support.

In addition to smartphones, Oppo is also expected to showcase new products such as the Oppo Pad Mini and Pad 5 Pro flagship tablets powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 and 8 Elite Gen 5 chipsets, respectively.

HMD Crest 2 Pro specs leaked: Snapdragon 4 Gen 4, 6,000mAh battery, larger display with higher refresh rate

31 March 2026 at 09:54

HMD looks set to expand its presence in India’s entry-level segment with the upcoming Crest 2 Pro, and the latest leak suggests it could bring some meaningful upgrades over the HMD Crest and HMD Crest Max.

According to tipster @smashx_60 on X, the alleged HMD Crest 2 Pro will feature a 6.78-inch Super AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution. That’s larger than the 6.67-inch panel of the Crest and Crest Max. The refresh rate is also higher, at 120Hz compared to 90Hz on the previous models, suggesting smoother scrolling and animations.

Under the hood, the device is said to run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 4 Gen 4 chipset. It’s not meant for heavy workloads, but should be more than enough for everyday use like calling, messaging, online payments, and watching YouTube.

Battery life seems to be a key selling point of the Crest 2 Pro. The phone is expected to pack a 6,000mAh battery, the largest HMD has used so far. It supports 33W charging, which should be decent for topping up, even if not the fastest in the segment.

On the back, the phone is tipped to feature a triple-camera setup led by a 64MP main sensor, along with an 8MP secondary lens and a 2MP auxiliary camera. There is a 50MP sensor for selfies. The hardware suggests a fairly standard setup for this category.

Based on the leaked render, the bezel width appears similar to the Crest and Crest Max, including the slightly wider chin. The overall design also remains largely unchanged, with minor refinements to the square camera island.

There’s still no official word on pricing or a launch date, but based on the leaked specs, the Crest 2 Pro could land in the sub-₹20,000 range. For further context, the HMD Crest and Crest Max started from ₹14,999 and ₹16,499, respectively.

For now, it looks like HMD is trying to tick the right boxes: good display, large battery, and balanced performance. More details should follow soon.

Google Pixel 11 Renders Reveal Design Changes and New Hardware Upgrades

31 March 2026 at 03:10
Google Pixel 11 CAD Renders

Early renders of the Google Pixel 11 have surfaced, offering a detailed look at the upcoming flagship ahead of its expected August debut. The images, shared by tipster @OneLeaks (via Android Headlines), point to a design that largely builds on its predecessor while introducing subtle refinements.

Google Pixel 11 CAD Renders

The device is reported to measure 152.8 x 72 x 8.5mm and is expected to feature a 6.3-inch LTPO AMOLED display. The overall footprint remains close to the Pixel 10, suggesting minimal changes in size and form factor. Flat sides continue to define the design, while the signature rear camera bar appears slightly larger but thinner. The triple rear camera layout remains intact.

Under the hood, the Pixel 11 is expected to run on Google’s next-generation Tensor G6 processor. The chipset is said to adopt a 7-core architecture and will reportedly be manufactured using TSMC’s 2nm process. The device may also mark a shift in connectivity hardware, replacing Samsung’s modem with a new MediaTek M90 modem.

Google Pixel 11 CAD Renders

Security is another area of upgrade. The phone is expected to feature a new Titan M3 security coprocessor, internally referred to as “Google Epic,” replacing the Titan M2 used in previous Pixel devices.

In terms of memory and storage, the Pixel 11 is likely to offer 12GB of RAM, with storage options starting at 128GB and going up to 256GB. There is also speculation that Google could increase the base storage to 256GB, in line with trends seen in recent flagship releases.

The device is expected to run Android 17 out of the box. On the camera front, new software-driven features are rumored, including an ultra-low-light video mode with on-device processing. This would allow high-quality video capture in dark conditions without relying on cloud processing. Additional features may include Cinematic Blur at 4K 30 fps and a video relight tool for adjusting lighting in recorded footage.

A 5,000mAh battery is also expected. Pricing is rumored to start at $799, similar to the previous model.

Mijia Smart IH Rice Cooker P1 Specifications

The Mijia Smart IH Rice Cooker P1 uses induction heating (IH) technology to deliver three-dimensional, all-around heating. This system ensures even cooking and incorporates a 1.2x pressure cooking system, which raises the internal temperature to around 105°C.

The pot features a titanium construction with 2.5mm thick walls and a fluorine-free non-stick coating. Xiaomi used a molten titanium infusion process for the inner pot, which enhances its durability and heat resistance. The structure includes food-grade stainless steel, titanium particles, a crystal protective layer, and an aluminum heat-conduction layer.

Xiaomi Mijia Smart IH Rice Cooker P1

The device has a stainless steel inner lid, an intuitive LED display, and precise water level markings for various recipes. It can cook up to 16 bowls of rice in its 4-liter version, making it ideal for families and gatherings. The fast cooking mode prepares rice in 24 minutes without compromising quality.

Xiaomi integrated smart features into the cooker, allowing connection to the Mijia app for remote control, 24-hour scheduling, and access to over 100 cloud-based recipes. It also supports XiaoAI voice control and lets users customize rice texture.

The rice cooker features six safety mechanisms, including pressure release and safety valves, pressure control, and a lid lock mechanism. Xiaomi provides a 3-year warranty with the product, reinforcing its durability.

In related news, Xiaomi has recently introduced a budget-friendly 6.5L smart air fryer featuring steam, bake, and fry modes, alongside the launch of the Mijia Mite Remover 3 Pro, which offers 17,000Pa suction in a lightweight 1.7kg cordless design.

Leaked iPhone 18 Pro screen protectors showcase redesigned Dynamic Island

30 March 2026 at 18:26

Apple introduced the Dynamic Island with the iPhone 14 Pro series back in 2022 and has kept its dimensions untouched since then. Now, leaked images of screen protectors for the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro series suggest that the Dynamic Island could finally see a design update in 2026.

The company has been exploring under-display solutions for quite some time, but judging by its track record, a shift to a hole-punch design seems unlikely until it fully addresses the common issues associated with UDC technology.

According to the latest leak, the infrared flood illuminator, part of the Face ID system, may finally move under the display. However, the infrared camera will still require a cutout. This change reportedly makes the Dynamic Island around 35% smaller than previous generations, which would be a welcome improvement. The screen protectors also reinforce earlier leaks pointing to a smaller Dynamic Island on the iPhone 18 Pro series.

While there’s no explanation for why parts of Apple’s Face ID system still require a cutout, previous reports suggest there may be more at play than just technical limitations. Apple’s 20th anniversary iPhone is expected to arrive next year, and the company is reportedly planning major upgrades to mark the occasion. In that context, a smaller Dynamic Island on the iPhone 18 Pro lineup wouldn’t be surprising, even if Apple has already found ways to move to a hole-punch design without compromising functionality.

Elsewhere, the iPhone 18 Pro series is expected to feature a 2nm-based A20 Pro chip, along with a variable aperture system for the main camera. So while Apple may be saving some of its more “groundbreaking” changes for 2027, the upcoming Pro models should still have enough to generate excitement.

There’s still some time before Apple officially unveils the iPhone 18 Pro series, but more details are likely to surface through unofficial channels as we get closer to launch.

Galaxy S26 vs Galaxy S26: battery life difference between Exynos and Snapdragon is huge

30 March 2026 at 12:21
Samsung-Galaxy-S26-and-S26-Plus

Samsung has shifted to a 2nm process node for its latest flagship chipset, the Exynos 2600, while Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 still relies on TSMC’s 3nm node. While Exynos chips have struggled with power efficiency and thermal control in the past, this move to 2nm suggested a significant improvement in that area. Early leaks also pointed to notable efficiency gains compared to the Exynos 2500, leading users to expect comparable power efficiency between the Snapdragon and Exynos variants of the Galaxy S26 and S26+.

Samsung-Galaxy-S26-and-S26-Plus

Unfortunately, recent performance and battery life tests between the two chips, including one from YouTube channel AndroidAddicts, have dampened those expectations for users outside the US and China, where the Galaxy S26 and S26+ are powered by the Exynos 2600.

In a previous test, the Galaxy S26 (Exynos 2600) consumed 40% more power than the OnePlus 15, which is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and a significantly larger battery. However, what makes this Galaxy S26 vs Galaxy S26 comparison more interesting is that nearly all the hardware, apart from the chipset, remains identical. Performance tuning between the Galaxy S26 and the OnePlus 15 is also quite different, which can heavily influence power consumption. In contrast, it should be nearly identical between the two Galaxy S26 variants.

The test from AndroidAddicts was designed to simulate real-world usage rather than measure peak performance. It included a mix of tasks such as phone calls, video recording, Google Maps navigation, video calls, YouTube, and other social media apps.

The result? The Exynos variant lasted 6 hours and 48 minutes, while the Snapdragon variant reached 9 hours and 26 minutes. That’s a substantial gap for two nearly identical versions of the same flagship. It’s also surprising, given that the 2nm node was expected to deliver better efficiency, and disappointing at the same time, especially since most regions are getting the Exynos variant.

Design and Display

Build and Feel

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra leans heavily into a premium, ultra-refined identity with Gorilla Armor 2 protection and an aluminum frame that feels engineered for durability and long-term use. The integrated stylus adds a functional edge, making it more than just a flagship; it feels like a productivity tool. On the other hand, the Vivo X200T keeps things sleek and modern, with a lighter, more comfortable in-hand feel and the added advantage of IP69 protection, which quietly makes it more rugged in extreme conditions.

Display Quality

Samsung pushes clarity with a sharper QHD+ panel, anti-reflective coating, and consistent brightness, making outdoor use feel effortless. Vivo counters with insane peak brightness and ultra-high PWM dimming, delivering a more eye-friendly and vibrant viewing experience in harsh lighting.

Verdict

Samsung feels more premium and practical overall, while Vivo’s display feels more aggressive and visually striking.

Specifications Including Battery

Performance

The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 inside the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra delivers top-tier flagship power with better sustained performance and optimization, especially for heavy multitasking and gaming. It feels more refined and consistent. The Dimensity 9400+ in the Vivo X200T is no slouch—it’s extremely powerful and efficient—but slightly less polished under long stress loads. Software support also favors Samsung with longer update commitments.

Battery and Charging

Vivo clearly dominates in battery hardware with a massive 6200mAh cell, paired with faster wired and wireless charging. It’s built for endurance and quick top-ups. Samsung focuses more on balanced efficiency, offering reliable battery life but slower charging speeds, which may feel conservative in comparison.

Verdict

Samsung wins in performance consistency and longevity, while Vivo easily takes the lead in battery and charging convenience.

Camera

Main and Secondary Lenses

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra offers a more versatile quad-camera setup, including high-resolution zoom options and 8K video, making it ideal for users who want flexibility across all focal lengths. Its processing also tends to produce more consistent flagship-grade results. Meanwhile, the Vivo X200T focuses on optical quality with Zeiss tuning, delivering more natural colors and strong portrait performance, though with slightly less zoom versatility.

Selfie Camera

Vivo takes a clear edge with a higher-resolution selfie camera and wider framing, making it more appealing for social content and group shots. Samsung’s front camera is reliable but feels less exciting.

Verdict

Samsung is better for versatility and video, while Vivo feels more refined for portraits and selfies.

Pricing

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra sits at around ₹1,40,000 ($1300), placing it firmly in the ultra-premium category. In contrast, the Vivo X200T comes in at roughly ₹60,000 ($700), making it significantly more accessible while still offering flagship-level specs.

Is the Price Justified?

Samsung justifies its price through long-term software support, premium build, stylus functionality, and a more complete flagship experience. It feels like a device built to last years. Vivo, however, delivers exceptional hardware at nearly half the price, making it feel like a high-performance bargain with very few compromises.

Verdict

Samsung is justified but expensive, while Vivo offers outstanding value for money.

Disclaimer:
Prices are approximate and may vary based on country, region, and applicable taxes.

Conclusion

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra stands out with its stylus, DeX support, longer software updates, and highly versatile camera system, making it ideal for productivity and power users. The Vivo X200T shines with its massive battery, ultra-fast charging, Zeiss-tuned cameras, and aggressive pricing, targeting users who want flagship performance without overspending.

Verdict

Samsung feels like the complete, no-compromise flagship for those willing to pay a premium. Vivo, however, quietly becomes the smarter choice for most buyers, delivering flagship-level performance and features at a price that feels far more justified.

Disclaimer: This comparison is based on the specifications provided and is intended for general informational purposes. Actual performance, camera results, battery life, and overall experience may vary depending on real-world usage, software updates, and individual preferences.

Design and Display

Build and Feel

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra leans heavily into a premium, productivity-first design with its Armor aluminum frame, Gorilla Armor protection, and integrated stylus. It feels like a device built for power users who value durability and multitasking. In contrast, the Xiaomi 17 offers a more compact and refined approach, with Dragon Crystal Glass and a cleaner, lighter in-hand feel. The Xiaomi device comes across as more practical for daily comfort, while Samsung prioritizes a bold, feature-rich identity.

Display Quality

Samsung delivers a sharp 1440p LTPO AMOLED panel with excellent brightness and anti-reflective coating, making it highly usable outdoors. Meanwhile, Xiaomi pushes display innovation further with a brighter 3500-nit panel, Dolby Vision, and ultra-high PWM dimming, resulting in better eye comfort and richer HDR visuals. The Xiaomi display feels more modern and aggressive in tuning, while Samsung remains balanced and consistent.

Verdict

Xiaomi 17 wins for display innovation and comfort, but Samsung feels more premium and productivity-focused overall.

Specifications Including Battery

Performance

Both devices are powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, but Samsung’s slightly higher clock speeds and refined One UI optimization give it a marginal edge in sustained performance. It feels more stable under heavy workloads and long gaming sessions. Xiaomi, however, pairs strong hardware with faster UFS 4.1 storage and a lighter HyperOS experience, which often feels quicker in day-to-day use. The difference is subtle, but Samsung leans toward consistency, while Xiaomi feels snappier.

Battery and Charging

Samsung sticks with a 5000mAh battery and relatively modest charging speeds, focusing on reliability. Xiaomi clearly dominates here with a massive 6330–7000mAh battery and 100W wired charging, alongside faster wireless options. The Xiaomi device feels far more future-ready for heavy users who prioritize uptime and speed.

Verdict

Xiaomi 17 clearly wins due to superior battery capacity and significantly faster charging, despite Samsung’s slight performance stability edge.

Camera

Main and Secondary Lenses

Samsung takes a clear lead in versatility with its quad-camera system, including a 200MP main sensor and dual telephoto lenses offering true optical zoom flexibility. It feels built for users who want maximum range and consistency across scenarios. Xiaomi, with its Leica-tuned triple 50MP setup, focuses more on color science and cinematic output. While it lacks Samsung’s zoom depth, it delivers more natural tones and better video flexibility with Dolby Vision and LOG recording.

Selfie Camera

Xiaomi stands out with a 50MP selfie camera, offering sharper detail and better flexibility for content creators. Samsung’s 12MP sensor is reliable and well-optimized, but feels conservative in comparison. Xiaomi’s front camera feels more aligned with modern usage trends like vlogging and high-resolution selfies.

Verdict

Samsung wins for zoom and versatility, while Xiaomi appeals more to creators with better color tuning and a stronger selfie camera.

Pricing

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is priced around $1300 (₹1,40,000), placing it firmly in the ultra-premium category. The Xiaomi 17, at approximately $1000 (₹90,000), undercuts it significantly while still offering flagship-level hardware. This price gap creates a clear difference in positioning. Samsung targets those wanting everything regardless of cost, while Xiaomi focuses on delivering maximum value.

Is the price justified?

Samsung justifies its pricing with features like the stylus, DeX support, longer software updates, and superior camera versatility. It feels like a complete ecosystem device. Xiaomi, however, delivers exceptional hardware, better battery, faster charging, brighter display, at a lower price, making it feel like a smarter buy for most users.

Verdict

Xiaomi 17 wins easily in value for money, while Samsung remains a premium, feature-packed investment.

Disclaimer:
Prices are approximate and may vary based on country, region, and applicable taxes.

Conclusion

Samsung differentiates itself with the S Pen, DeX desktop experience, ultra-refined software support, and unmatched camera versatility. It feels like a productivity powerhouse rather than just a smartphone. Xiaomi counters with a massive battery, ultra-fast charging, superior display brightness, and Leica-tuned imaging, making it feel more modern and performance-driven. The Xiaomi device leans into practical daily advantages, while Samsung focuses on long-term utility and ecosystem integration.

Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is ideal for users who want premium features, productivity tools, and long-term reliability. The Xiaomi 17, however, emerges as the better overall choice for most buyers, offering stronger value, better battery life, and a more advanced display experience at a significantly lower price.

Disclaimer: This comparison is based on the specifications provided and is intended for general informational purposes. Actual performance, camera results, battery life, and overall experience may vary depending on real-world usage, software updates, and individual preferences.

One of the major highlights of the iQOO 15 is that it features a Samsung M14 OLED panel, which has a 6.85-inch screen size with 2K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. Reports have suggested that the iQOO 16 will arrive with an upgraded display, and now, in a new Weibo post, tipster Smart Pikachu has revealed some details about it.

iQOO 16’s display details tipped

The above post by tipster Smart Pikachu indicates that iQOO could be among the first brands to test Samsung’s upcoming 2K display panels featuring 165Hz and 185Hz refresh rates, with the hashtag suggesting a possible link to the iQOO 16.

The tipster notes that 165Hz is just the beginning, as the supply chain is also preparing native 185Hz panels from Samsung, while game ecosystems are already being adapted to support such high refresh rates.

The increase in refresh rate will allow the iQOO 16 to take on the OnePlus 16, which is said to be its closest rival that’s rumored to feature a 200Hz or 240Hz screen. While the OnePlus 16 may continue to support a 1.5K resolution, the iQOO 16’s screen may offer 2K resolution like its previous generation.

Another major upgrade for the iQOO 16 is in the camera department. The same tipster revealed earlier this month that it may feature a 200-megapixel primary camera and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera. This setup is also expected to include a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens.

The details about its battery size, charging capabilities, and memory configurations are not known yet. In all likelihood, it will draw power from the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chip. Due to the recent hike in memory chip prices, the iQOO 16 may start at 5,000 Yuan (~$725) for the base variant, which may offer a 12GB+256GB configuration.

Xiaomi Air Conditioners Surpass 8.5 Million Shipments in 2025

30 March 2026 at 02:52
Xiaomi Air Conditioner

In 2025, Xiaomi achieved a major milestone with record-breaking revenue in its smart large home appliances division. The company reported a 23.1% year-over-year increase, driven by robust sales of air conditioners, refrigerators, and washing machines.

Xiaomi Air Conditioner

According to the report, air conditioner shipments surpassed 8.5 million units, reflecting 24% year-on-year growth. Refrigerator shipments crossed 2.8 million units (up 4%), while washing machine shipments exceeded 2.3 million units (up 18%), with all three categories hitting historical highs.

Air conditioners emerged as the standout product segment. Xiaomi expanded its lineup from entry-level wall units to advanced multi-split central systems, differentiating itself through competitive pricing, superior smart functionality, and enhanced service features.

The key advantage is the integration with HyperOS Connect and the Mijia ecosystem. This allows for control via smartphones or XiaoAI voice assistants and enables automation through temperature and humidity sensors. Premium models even feature millimeter-wave radar to detect human presence and optimize airflow direction for comfort.

Wuhan Smart Home Appliance Factory

Xiaomi further strengthened its position by upgrading the Mijia air conditioner warranty to 10 years. This comprehensive coverage includes labor, repair costs, parts replacement, and refrigerant refills.

To meet demand, Xiaomi ramped up production at its new Wuhan Smart Home Appliance Factory, which has an annual capacity of 7 million units. In Q2 2025 alone, the company shipped 5.4 million air conditioners, a 60% year-on-year increase, securing a 16% share of China’s online market.

Xiaomi also expanded its international footprint in 2025 by launching smart appliances across Europe, including Spain, Germany, France, and Italy. Additionally, the company plans to enter the Indian market later this year as part of its global growth strategy.

Upcoming Huawei Pura 90 Pro Could Improve Zoom Photography with LOFIC Tech

30 March 2026 at 02:42

Huawei could be preparing a camera upgrade for its upcoming Huawei Pura 90 Pro models. A new leak suggests the company is testing LOFIC technology for telephoto cameras, which could improve image quality in both bright and low-light conditions.

The information comes from tipster Smart Pikachu, who said two major Chinese smartphone brands are testing LOFIC for telephoto lenses. While no names were confirmed, the hints in the post pointed to Huawei’s Pura 90 lineup.

LOFIC, or lateral overflow integration capacitor, is a sensor design that helps the camera manage light more effectively. Instead of letting extra light overwhelm the sensor, it temporarily stores the excess and uses it in a controlled way. This helps keep bright parts of an image from losing detail.

When shooting in darker scenes, the sensor shifts its focus to capturing even very small amounts of light more efficiently. This helps produce clearer images with less grain, especially when zooming in with a telephoto lens.

If Huawei adds this to its telephoto camera, it could improve long-distance shots, especially in difficult lighting. Other expected details of the Pura 90 series include a 6.58-inch display on the standard model and a larger 6.87-inch flat display on higher-end versions. The base model may use the Kirin 9020 chip, while the Pro version could use the Kirin 9030. The Ultra model is expected to run on the Kirin 9030 Pro.

Huawei is likely to launch the Pura 90 series in the first half of the year, following its usual release timeline.

ReVanced Removed from GitHub After DMCA Complaint, Here’s What Happens Next

29 March 2026 at 23:54
Youtube ReVanced

The ReVanced project has been taken down from GitHub following a DMCA complaint. The request did not come from Google, but from a third party. As required under copyright law, GitHub removed the repository first and then reviewed the case.

Youtube ReVanced

ReVanced says the complaint has no legal basis and has already submitted a counter-notice. Under the DMCA process, there is now a mandatory 14-day window. During this time, the claimant must take legal action if they want the takedown to stay in place. If no lawsuit is filed, GitHub can restore the repository.

For now, the project remains unavailable on GitHub. This is standard procedure, not a final decision. ReVanced’s developers say this is not a shutdown. Development has continued without interruption. A mirror repository is already live on GitLab, and the community remains active.

ReVanced itself is a tool that modifies Android apps like YouTube. It emerged after the shutdown of YouTube Vanced in 2022, when developers were forced to stop the original modded app under legal pressure. Unlike Vanced, ReVanced does not distribute a pre-modified app. Instead, it provides patches that users apply to official app files on their own devices to unlock features such as ad blocking, background playback, and other functions usually tied to a paid subscription. It does not host videos or distribute pirated content. Instead, it changes how the app behaves on a user’s device.

The legal and ethical debate around ReVanced remains unresolved. While it does not directly distribute copyrighted media, it bypasses platform rules and removes ads, which are a key source of revenue for creators and companies. Supporters argue it gives users more control over their experience. Critics say it undermines the ecosystem that funds online content.

What happens next depends on the 14-day window. If no legal case is filed, the repository is expected to return, and development will continue as usual.

Honor X80i specs leaked: Dimensity 7100, 6500-nit display, 7000mAh battery and more

29 March 2026 at 22:43

Honor looks set to expand its mid-range lineup with the X80i. Details shared by Chinese tipsters on Weibo give a fairly complete picture of what to expect, even though the company hasn’t confirmed anything yet.

The phone is said to feature a 6.6-inch flat OLED panel with a 1.5K resolution. One number that stands out is the claimed 6,500 nits peak brightness. If accurate, that would be a significant jump over last year’s X70i, which peaks at 3,500 nits. The device is also expected to stay relatively slim at 7.34mm and weigh around 185g, which is interesting considering the battery size.

Speaking of which, the X80i could pack a 7,000mAh battery, with a rated capacity of around 6,800mAh listed on TENAA. Charging is expected to be capped at 45W, which isn’t the fastest, but seems like a reasonable trade-off given the capacity.

Performance duties are handled by the MediaTek Dimensity 7100, with some reports suggesting a Dimensity 7050 variant for certain markets. Either way, it should be enough for everyday tasks, light gaming, and general multitasking without much trouble.

Honor X80i hands-on photo

The camera setup looks fairly simple. Leaks mention a dual rear system with either a 108MP or 50MP main sensor depending on the version, paired with a 5MP secondary camera. On the front, there’s an 8MP shooter. Nothing particularly ambitious here, but likely in line with the phone’s positioning.

Other details include an in-display fingerprint sensor, a metal frame for a more premium feel, and what’s described as an AI shortcut button.

There’s still no word on pricing or an exact launch date, but based on these early details, the Honor X80i seems to be shaping up as a battery-focused mid-ranger with a strong emphasis on display quality.
