The iPhone 17 Pro series’ “Starry Orange” finish has been one of the most talked-about iPhone colors in years. It’s also inspired a wave of copycat shades across multiple Android brands. We’re looking at you, Honor.
If a new leak is anything to go by, Apple may be planning a repeat performance next year with the iPhone 18 Pro lineup.
According to leaker Digital Chat Station, Apple is testing a new deep, more refined red finish for the next Pro iPhones. The shade is said to continue Apple’s recent strategy of turning bold colorways into headline features rather than secondary options.

The smartphone industry has been dealing with supply chain issues for years, but memory shortages are now harder to ignore than ever. A mix of rising demand for AI hardware and limited production capacity has pushed DRAM prices up, putting pressure on companies that rely on it to build phones.
According to reports from Wccftech and South Korean publication JoongAng Ilbo, Qualcomm is now working with Changxin Memory Technologies (CXMT) to develop custom DRAM tailored for smartphones.
Since a large portion of DRAM manufacturing capacity is currently used for high-bandwidth memory (HBM), manufacturers are focusing less on mobile-focused memory, creating a shortage in the industry.
This imbalance is affecting different segments in different ways. Flagship phones can absorb rising costs more easily, but budget and mid-range devices have less flexibility.
Why could this be the right move?
Memory has quietly become one of the most expensive parts of a phone. DRAM alone makes up roughly a third of the total bill of materials, and when combined with NAND storage, memory accounts for more than half of the cost of building a typical device. This makes it harder for manufacturers to keep prices stable without cutting corners elsewhere.
There are already signs that the pressure is reshaping production strategies. Both Qualcomm and MediaTek are said to have scaled back orders for their mid-range 4nm chips. The reduction reportedly means tens of millions fewer chips.
In that context, Qualcomm’s collaboration with CXMT is a good move, if true. By working directly with a memory manufacturer, Qualcomm could gain more control over supply and maybe stabilize costs for its partners.
The partnership also has a geographic angle. China remains the largest smartphone market, and many of Qualcomm’s biggest customers are based there. Custom DRAM developed with CXMT could primarily serve that ecosystem, which will help local manufacturers navigate the current constraints more effectively.

Casio has refreshed its GA-V01 series with a new translucent lineup that leans into a Y2K-inspired design. The original GA-V01 already stood out for its unusual, almost sci-fi look, and these new versions push that further with clear cases and bold color finishes.
The watches come in four shades: neon green, black, orange, and purple. The see-through casing gives them a different feel compared to earlier solid models, but the structure underneath stays the same. Casio continues to use an integrated bezel and band design that protects the core module. The large hour markers extend over the glass and also act as bumpers, adding to the watch’s shock resistance.

The dial combines analog and digital elements, featuring a full-screen LCD with a metallic openwork design. It includes two analog hands and a digital display showing time, date, and other functions. A hand shift feature ensures the display remains visible when needed.
Functionality includes world time across 31 time zones covering 48 cities, a 1/100-second stopwatch, a countdown timer up to 24 hours, and five daily alarms with an hourly signal. It also includes a double LED light system with selectable duration and afterglow. Additional features include a full auto-calendar up to 2099, ±15 seconds per month accuracy, and support for both 12 and 24-hour formats. The watch is powered by a CR2025 battery with an estimated life of 10 years.
The translucent GA-V01SKE series was first launched in Japan and is now available in the US. The models are priced at $155, with availability through Casio’s official online store.

Google has been quietly working on its own version of Apple NameDropfor a while now. The first signs surfaced back in November, and there’s already a video showing how it works. Now, a new report has revealed what Google plans to call it.
It’s called “tap to share.” Not subtle, but it gets the point across.
Folks over at Android Authority managed to enable the feature in Google Play Services v26.15.3.
Here’s how tap to share works
First, unlock your phone, bring the tops of the two devices together, and keep both screens facing up. From there, you can share contacts or send media like photos, videos, links, locations, and even “more”. You’ll need to hold the devices together until they glow, which acts as a visual confirmation that the transfer is underway.
There’s also a preview screen showing exactly what contact info you’re about to share before it’s sent, which is a nice touch.
If this all sounds familiar, that’s because it is. Apple NameDrop uses NFC to initiate the handshake, then switches to Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to actually move the data. Previous reports suggest Google is taking a similar approach here. The feature has even been spotted in Samsung One UI 9, hinting at broader ecosystem support.
And honestly, it’s about time. NameDrop is one of those small-but-delightful features with slick animations that make sharing feel effortless. Android has had plenty of sharing options over the years, but nothing quite this seamless.
We are not sure when Google will roll out the feature, but given how far along this build appears, it is safe to assume it will arrive sooner rather than later.

Nissan has teamed up once again with Casio for a new collaboration under the G-Shock lineup. This time, the partnership introduces a special edition watch based on the G-Shock GA-2100, inspired by the iconic Nissan GT-R range. The model is expected to launch in May 2026. The information comes from a recent post shared by @geesgshock on Instagram.
This is the first time the GT-R edition uses the GA-2100 platform. Earlier collaborations have mostly stayed with fully digital models, so this marks a clear shift in design. The watch comes in black, with red and white accents that match the GT-R’s usual color theme. A large GT-R logo sits on the dial, making the branding hard to miss.
The GA-2100 itself is known for its slim profile and octagonal case, along with an analog-digital display. That gives this version a different look compared to the square digital styles seen in earlier GT-R releases.
As with previous editions, availability will be limited. The watch will be sold only in Japan through Nissan dealerships, the Global Headquarters Gallery, the Nissan Boutique at Nissan Crossing, and the official Nissan Online Shop. Orders placed online will ship within Japan only.
The last GT-R collaboration came out in 2024 and was based on the DW-5600. That model kept things simple with an all-matte black finish, including the buttons and buckle. The GT-R logo was placed just above the display, and the watch used a positive LCD with an EL backlight. It also came in a custom tin case with GT-R branding.
Compared to that, the 2026 version stands out mainly for its design change. It keeps the GT-R identity, but the GA-2100 base gives it a more modern and slightly less utilitarian look.

Huawei is set to launch the Huawei Pura 90 series phones in China on April 20th. The company has so far revealed and opened pre-orders for only two models — Huawei Pura 90 Pro and Pura 90 Pro Max — in China.
If last year’s lineup is anything to go by, you’d expect four models in total. But that might not be the case anymore.
According to tipster Fixed Focus Digital, Huawei is scrapping the Ultra model altogether this generation. That is to say, Huawei Pura 90 series will have the vanilla, Pro, and Pro Max versions.
More interestingly, this might not be a Huawei-only move.
Many smartphone brands may discontinue Ultra models
Another well-known leaker, Digital Chat Station, claims that several other smartphone brands are also hitting pause on their Ultra-tier devices. Instead, the companies could reshuffle their portfolios.
The Pro Max that just sits below Ultra might inherit some of the imaging features that would have otherwise been reserved for the Ultra. Essentially, the Pro Max will replace the Ultra.
The tipster notes that this is due to soaring memory prices. And in these circumstances, launching an Ultra model would push the retail price beyond 10,000 yuan (~ $1500), which is far above the typical pricing range for Ultra series devices.
The current surge in memory prices shows no signs of easing either. According to a report by Counterpoint Research, the supply gap in the memory market is unlikely to be resolved until at least the second half of 2027.
This means cost pressures will remain a persistent challenge for the smartphone industry for a considerable period. Combined with factors such as limited demand for Ultra models, many brands may opt to discontinue the Ultra line.
For consumers, though, the implications are harder to ignore. The era of pushing top-tier specs at relatively aggressive prices may be winding down. And as brands recalibrate, the barrier to entry for true flagship experiences is only getting higher.

Fitbit is widening access to its personal health coach, which is currently in Public Preview. The feature is rolling out to free and Premium users on Android and iOS across 37 countries, including India, and will reach more users over the coming weeks.
The Preview version supports 27 languages. Earlier updates also pointed to a broader expansion up to 32 languages, covering options like Hindi, French, German, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish, so users can interact with the coach in a language they are comfortable with.
Inside the Fitbit app, the coach uses existing health data to offer insights and suggestions. It pulls in metrics such as steps, distance, calories burned, sleep, weight, and body fat. There is also support for third party data through Health Connect, which lets users bring in information from other apps and devices. The app combines data from different sources and shows where it is coming from, with filters available above each graph.
Fitbit has also added VO2Max, earlier known as Cardio Fitness Score, to the Preview. This brings cardio fitness tracking into the coaching experience.
Since this is still a Preview, several features are missing. Health tracking does not yet include blood glucose logging, body temperature tracking, or manual edits to sleep data. On the fitness side, advanced running metrics are not available for Pixel Watch 3 and Pixel Watch 4 users.
Social features are also not part of the Preview. This includes friends, groups, leaderboards, messages, badges, and workout sharing. Other missing features include exporting TCX files, syncing with Aria Air, and switching to a children’s view.
Some Health Connect data types are also not supported yet, including workout sessions, routes, heart rate variability, breathing rate, resting heart rate, SpO2, and temperature. Fitbit says these will be added later.
Samsung may retain only smartphones and memory chip businesses in China
Likely exit from home appliances, consumer electronics, and display segments
Strategy shift driven by strong global chip demand and rising pressure in China
Samsung Digital City Suwon
Samsung Electronics is reportedly planning a major restructuring of its China operations as it faces a strategic dilemma: whether to defend its declining market share in China or shift focus toward global competitiveness. Analysts suggest the company may prioritize global markets over continuing intense competition in China.
According to industry reports, Samsung is considering a broad overhaul that would streamline its presence in the country. The company is expected to retain only its mobile (smartphones) and memory (semiconductor chips) businesses, which are seen as its most profitable and globally critical segments. Meanwhile, it may exit or scale down divisions such as home appliances, consumer electronics, and display operations, which are reportedly underperforming.
Samsung is likely to continue prioritizing its semiconductor operations in China, supported by strong global demand for AI chips. The company has significantly increased investment in its Xi’an chip plant, with spending rising 67.5% year-on-year in 2025.
The restructuring may also involve workforce reductions in weaker divisions and operational changes, including outsourcing appliance distribution while retaining manufacturing. Despite its low smartphone market share in China, Samsung is expected to keep its mobile business due to its importance in the global supply chain and ecosystem.
Currently, Samsung maintains operations across semiconductors, consumer electronics, and R&D centers in Beijing and Nanjing, focusing on AI, telecommunications, and smartphones. While the plans are not officially confirmed, analysts believe Samsung is moving toward a leaner, more selective China strategy centered on high-value businesses and global leadership.

Apple is developing its own AI server chip, codenamed “Baltra,” for cloud infrastructure
Built using advanced 3nm technology from TSMC
Move aims to reduce reliance on NVIDIA and strengthen Apple’s AI ecosystem
AI- generated image for representation only
Apple is quietly building a major foundation for its AI future with a new self-designed server chip known internally as “Baltra.” This chip is expected to power the company’s internal cloud infrastructure, focusing on secure data processing and backend AI workloads. It marks a major shift as Apple expands beyond consumer hardware into large-scale AI computing.
The Baltra chip is likely to be manufactured by TSMC using its second-generation 3nm (N3E) process. This technology is designed to deliver improved performance and efficiency compared to earlier nodes. Apple is also investing heavily in TSMC’s advanced SoIC (System on Integrated Chips) packaging, which enables vertical stacking of multiple chip components for better speed and power efficiency.
Reports suggest Baltra will use a chiplet-based architecture, allowing different specialized chips to work together in one package. This design improves scalability and lets Apple optimize AI workloads more effectively. The company is also working with partners on interconnect technologies while gradually aiming to bring more design capabilities in-house.
To support its AI push, Apple has reportedly reserved significant production capacity at TSMC for the coming years. A large portion of this is expected to be allocated to AI server chips like Baltra, signaling serious long-term investment.
Overall, this move highlights Apple’s plan to control its entire AI stack, from silicon and packaging to cloud infrastructure, while reducing dependence on external chip providers and competing more directly in the AI hardware space.
The benchmarking platform 3DMark has removed performance results for the RedMagic 11 Pro and RedMagic 11 Pro+ from its database.
According to reports, the listings for both devices were taken down because the manufacturer did not follow the rules during testing. The issue lies in how the phones handle performance limits when running benchmarking software.
3DMark says the devices behave differently when they detect its tests. Specifically, the phones are said to remove normal limits on power consumption and temperature while the benchmark is running. This allows the chipset to operate at unusually high levels without throttling, even as temperatures rise.
From 3DMark’s perspective, this creates results that don’t reflect typical real-world usage. The platform’s rules are designed to ensure that scores represent the performance users can expect under normal conditions, not in a special testing mode. Because of this, the results were classified as a violation and removed.
Here’s what Nubia replies
Nubia, the brand behind the RedMagic series, has responded by defending its approach.
In a statement to Android Authority, the company said its devices are built for “high-performance experiences,” particularly in demanding gaming scenarios, and include multiple performance modes that users can enable. It specifically pointed to a feature called “Diablo Mode,” which is designed to push the hardware to its limits under heavy workloads.
The company also said that benchmarking should be viewed as “an indicator of a device’s performance potential under controlled, high-load conditions,” adding that results can vary depending on system settings and usage.
In other words, Nubia is saying that the scores reflect what the hardware is capable of, even if that level of performance isn’t always active by default.
It’s not surprising to see a brand optimizing specific apps to run better—that’s actually a good thing. But in the case of benchmark apps, this shouldn’t happen, as it is considered manipulation of scores.

Huawei has a launch event scheduled for April 20, where it is set to refresh its Pura lineup. The update includes the Pura 90 series, which Huawei has already started teasing, and a foldable in the Pura X lineup. Now, according to tipster Digital Chat Station, this new model is called the Pura X Max.
The Pura foldable line from Huawei is known for wide-folding devices, and no surprises, the Pura X Max follows the same route.
Huawei Pura X Max Specs (Expected)
However, unlike the original Pura X, the X Max is said to be a horizontally folding device. The design is the same as what’s expected for the Apple iPhone Fold (or Ultra, as rumors say), but Huawei will be the first to launch such a device. It will feature a 7.69-inch WQHD+ inner display and a 5.5-inch outer screen.
The inner display will offer more usable space, while the outer screen is designed for quick, everyday tasks. Huawei is reportedly sticking with a 16:10 aspect ratio, similar to its earlier model.
Lucky for us, another tipster, Fixed Focus Digital, has shared the foldable’s front and back design on Weibo.
There are also expected upgrades under the hood. The Pura X Max is rumored to use Huawei’s Kirin 9030 chip, which is also said to power the Pura 90 series. The chip reportedly uses a new 9-core architecture, with improvements in overall performance.
Moreover, the device is expected to include Huawei’s Red Maple Quad Camera system, with a particular focus on improving the telephoto lens.
As we mentioned earlier, this type of foldable design will not remain exclusive to Huawei for long. Apple is working on a foldable iPhone with a similar tablet-like aspect ratio, possibly arriving in September. Meanwhile, Samsung is also working on a wide-foldable called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide.

Samsung’s AI anti-fraud feature can detect scam calls in real time
Powered by on-device Gemini AI, originally from Google Pixel phones
Global rollout expected, with foldables like Z Fold 8 and Flip 8 likely to get it
AI-generated image for representation only
Samsung is preparing to expand its new AI-powered anti-fraud feature beyond the Galaxy S26 series, signaling a wider global rollout in the coming months. The feature, currently limited to users in the United States, is designed to detect scam calls in real time and warn users instantly if a conversation appears suspicious.
The technology behind this feature comes from Google and uses an on-device Gemini AI model. This means call content is analyzed directly on the phone, ensuring better privacy since data does not need to be sent to external servers. The system listens for patterns commonly linked to fraud and alerts users during the call itself.
Samsung has integrated this capability into its native Phone app through a collaboration with Google. Interestingly, this AI feature was first introduced on Pixel smartphones before making its way to Samsung’s flagship lineup.
Recent findings from code strings in the Google Phone app (version 217 beta) suggest that Samsung is planning to bring this feature to more devices. These include upcoming foldables such as the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Flip 8, along with other regional variants across global markets.
The presence of multiple international model numbers strongly indicates that Samsung is aiming for a large-scale rollout. However, one notable absence is the expected global variant of the Flip 8, leaving some uncertainty.
Overall, this move suggests that AI-powered fraud detection could soon become a standard feature across Samsung Galaxy devices worldwide.
Xiaomi is raising the prices of some Redmi phones in China, and the changes are taking effect today. The company confirmed it’s bumping prices on three of its higher-end models: the Redmi K90 Pro Max, Redmi Turbo 5, and Redmi Turbo 5 Max.
According to the brand, the increases are due to the “continued sharp rise” in the cost of key components, especially global memory chips.
Here are the new effective prices
The most direct increase is to the Redmi K90 Pro Max, which now costs 200 yuan more across all configurations. The base 12GB + 256GB variant is now priced at 4,199 yuan, up from its earlier launch price of 3,999 yuan. Higher-end variants follow the same pattern, with the top 16GB + 1TB model now listed at 5,499 yuan, compared to its initial price of 5,299 yuan.
Things are a little less straightforward with the Redmi Turbo 5 and Turbo 5 Max. The prices have gone up, but not because Xiaomi is raising them directly. Instead, the company has ended its Spring Festival promotional discounts, effectively snapping both phones back to their standard retail pricing.
However, Xiaomi is still offering a 200 yuan subsidy on the 512GB variants, which slightly softens the impact for buyers considering higher storage options.
This means the Redmi Turbo 5 now starts at 2,299 yuan for the 12GB + 256GB model, while the Turbo 5 Max begins at 2,499 yuan for the same configuration. Previously, both models were available at lower “initial sale” prices during promotional periods.
None of this comes as much of a surprise. Memory prices have been trending upward for a while now, and manufacturers usually pass at least some of those costs down the line.

Honor has launched a product that blends two everyday accessories into one. The Honor Choice MouseBuds Pro is a wireless mouse that also stores and charges a pair of true wireless earbuds inside its body.
The idea is simple. The back half of the mouse opens up to reveal the earbuds, which sit in a built-in charging case. You don’t need to carry a separate case or deal with extra cables. Once the mouse is connected using the included wireless receiver, the earbuds are ready to use as well. There is no manual pairing step. Just take them out and start using them.
The device also supports two modes. In computer mode, both the mouse and earbuds connect through the receiver for a stable connection. In smartphone mode, the earbuds switch to Bluetooth and can be used on their own without the mouse. A single button handles switching between modes, which makes it easier to move between calls, work, and media use.
On the mouse side, it uses a PixArt optical sensor with 1200 DPI, which is standard for daily tasks like browsing and office work. The left and right buttons use TTC quiet switches rated for up to 5 million clicks, keeping noise low in shared spaces. The surface has an excimer coating that feels smooth and is designed to resist fingerprints and wear. The shape follows a simple ergonomic curve for a comfortable grip.
The earbuds use a semi-open design and support adaptive active noise cancellation. It reduces background noise without sealing the ear completely. For calls, dual microphones handle AI noise reduction to improve voice clarity. Audio is powered by dual-magnetic dynamic drivers with an LCP diaphragm for stronger bass.
A 1000 mAh battery powers the device and is rated for up to 30 days of typical use. Charging is done through USB-C. The mouse measures 112 × 60 × 34 mm and weighs 78 g without the earbuds. With them, it reaches 88 g. It supports Windows 10 and above, and macOS 10.13 and above. Pricing is set at €99.90 in Germany and £79.99 in the UK.

At Rs 3,999, the OnePlus Nord Buds 4 Pro sit in one of the most competitive segments in the TWS market right now. This is the price range where brands try to bring premium features like ANC, spatial audio, and multipoint connectivity to a wider audience. On paper, these earbuds tick most of the right boxes. I’ve been using the Raven Black variant for about a week, and the experience has been largely consistent, with a few expected compromises.
Design and comfort
The Nord Buds 4 Pro follow a clean and understated design language. The Raven Black finish keeps things minimal, which some may appreciate, though it doesn’t particularly stand out. The case has a slightly more structured, boxy shape compared to earlier Nord Buds. It’s still pocketable, but it can feel a bit noticeable if you’re carrying it alongside other items.
In everyday use, however, the design proves to be practical. The case feels solid, the hinge is reliable, and the matte texture resists fingerprints well. The earbuds themselves are lightweight and sit securely in the ears. I used them during work hours and short walks, and they stayed in place without needing adjustment.
Comfort is easily one of the better aspects here. With the right ear tips, I could wear them for extended periods without discomfort, which makes them suitable for long listening sessions.
Sound quality
The Nord Buds 4 Pro are tuned with a clear focus on a bass-forward sound. The 12mm drivers deliver a noticeable low-end punch, which works well for genres like electronic music and Bollywood tracks.
At the same time, the tuning leans towards a more relaxed listening experience. Vocals come through clearly enough for everyday use, and the overall presentation feels smooth rather than aggressive. This makes them easy to listen to over longer periods without fatigue.
While the sound is enjoyable, it feels more tuned for casual listening rather than critical listening. For most users streaming music or watching content, the performance remains perfectly adequate and consistent.
ANC and transparency mode
OnePlus claims up to 55dB of active noise cancellation, and in real-world use, the performance is decent for the segment. In quieter environments like home or office spaces, the ANC reduces background noise effectively, making it easier to focus on music or calls.
In busier surroundings such as traffic or crowded cafés, the earbuds still reduce a fair amount of ambient noise, though some external sounds can remain audible. It doesn’t completely block everything out, but it does enough to improve the overall listening experience.
Transparency mode is usable for staying aware of your surroundings, especially for quick conversations or while walking outdoors.
Call quality
Call quality is fairly reliable in indoor conditions. Voices come through clearly, and there’s no major distortion during regular calls.
Outdoors, performance can vary depending on the environment. While the microphones manage to keep your voice audible, background noise like wind or traffic can sometimes be noticeable to the listener on the other end. It works fine for casual calls, but may not always deliver the same consistency in challenging conditions.
Battery life
Battery life is dependable for daily use. With mixed usage and ANC toggled on and off, I was getting around six hours on a single charge. With the case, the earbuds easily lasted a few days before needing a recharge.
Fast charging is a useful addition. A short 10-minute charge provided enough playback for a couple of hours, which is convenient when you’re in a hurry. There’s no wireless charging, but that’s expected at this price.
Connectivity and features
Connectivity has been smooth and reliable throughout my usage. Pairing is quick, and the earbuds reconnect almost instantly when taken out of the case. Dual-device connectivity works well, allowing easy switching between devices without manual intervention.
Latency is noticeable in the standard mode, especially during gaming or fast-paced video content. However, enabling the low-latency mode improves synchronization significantly, making it much more usable for those scenarios.
The companion app offers a wide range of features, including ANC controls, EQ settings, touch customization, and more. On OnePlus devices, these controls are integrated into the system settings, which adds to the convenience.
Verdict
The OnePlus Nord Buds 4 Pro deliver a well-rounded experience for their price. They are comfortable, easy to use, and come with a feature set that covers most everyday needs, from ANC and multipoint connectivity to low-latency gaming mode.
At the same time, they don’t try to push boundaries in any one area. Instead, they focus on delivering a consistent and reliable experience across the board.
For Rs 3,999, these earbuds are best suited for casual listeners, commuters, and users looking for a dependable pair of TWS earbuds without overthinking the details. Personally, I found them to be a good everyday option—but not necessarily the most exciting one in this segment.

Unitree Robotics is set to launch its cheapest humanoid robot, the R1, in global markets next week. What makes this launch stand out is the sales strategy. Unitree is taking humanoid robots directly to online platforms, starting with AliExpress. This marks a shift from traditional enterprise sales to a more accessible, e-commerce-driven approach.
The initial rollout will cover North America, Europe, Japan, and Singapore. The company is also joining Alibaba’s Brand+ channel, which brings benefits like free shipping, free returns, and better global visibility. More online and offline sales channels are expected to follow.
Unitree R1
R1 Robot: Built for Motion, Priced for Access
The R1 was first launched in China in 2025 at a starting price of 29,900 yuan (around $4,370), making it one of the most affordable humanoid robots available. While global pricing is still unannounced, the company is expected to keep it competitive.
Standing 123 cm tall and weighing over 27 kg, the R1 is designed for dynamic movement. It can perform cartwheels, run downhill, stand up from the ground, and execute complex routines. The “Born for sport” positioning highlights its focus on agility and motion rather than industrial tasks.
From Labs to Online Buyers
Unitree’s move to sell robots online signals a major shift in how humanoid machines are marketed and distributed. Until now, most robots were sold through enterprise deals or research contracts. By listing on platforms like AliExpress, Unitree is opening access to developers, educators, and even early consumers globally.
This builds on its existing customer base, where around 70% of shipments in 2025 went to universities and research institutions. The online model could further expand this ecosystem.
Unitree R1
Scaling Fast with a Low-Cost Strategy
The company shipped over 5,500 humanoid robots in 2025, far ahead of competitors like Tesla, Figure AI, and Agility Robotics, which delivered around 150 units each. Unitree now aims to ship 10,000 to 20,000 units in 2026.
Its cost advantage comes from a highly localized supply chain, with over 80% of components sourced within China. This allows it to price robots far below global averages, where similar machines can cost up to $300,000.
A New Phase for Consumer Robotics
Unitree’s online-first global launch could reshape the humanoid robotics market. By combining low pricing with e-commerce accessibility, the company is testing real-world demand beyond labs and factories.
If successful, this approach could accelerate adoption and bring humanoid robots closer to mainstream buyers much faster than expected.

Alibaba’s Qwen models are nearing 1 billion downloads, dominating open-source AI globally
Qwen holds over 50% of total downloads, far ahead of global competitors
Growth is driven by aggressive pricing, strong performance, and an open-source strategy
Alibaba’s Qwen AI models are rapidly emerging as the global leader in open-source artificial intelligence. As of March 2026, the Qwen model family has reached around 942 million total downloads, with a massive 153.6 million downloads recorded in February alone. This puts Qwen significantly ahead of competitors, with more than double the combined downloads of the next eight players.
A major boost came from the launch of Qwen 3.5 in February 2026. The latest version delivers major improvements in both speed and efficiency. It is reported to be up to eight times faster and around 60% cheaper than its predecessor, making it highly attractive for developers and businesses.
Qwen’s rise also reflects a broader shift in the global AI landscape. Since mid-2024, Chinese open-source models have overtaken their US counterparts in total downloads. Earlier releases like Qwen 2.5 played a key role in this transition by accelerating adoption worldwide.
The company’s strategy focuses on offering powerful yet low-cost models to drive mass adoption. This approach helps build a large developer ecosystem, which is later monetized through cloud services. As a result, Qwen is not just gaining popularity but also strengthening its position in the global AI race.
Competitors: Still Far Behind Qwen
Qwen’s closest rival, Meta’s Llama, is now significantly behind, with estimates suggesting a gap of hundreds of millions of downloads. Fast-growing players like DeepSeek have seen sharp spikes in popularity, but still lag far in total usage. Meanwhile, other models from Nvidia and smaller AI firms show steady but limited adoption. Overall, no competitor currently matches Qwen’s scale, making its lead both clear and rapidly widening.
Casio has introduced its G-Shock Summer Resort 2026 series, adding four new models to its lineup. The range includes the GMA-P2100SR-1A, GMA-P2100SR-7A, GM-S2110SR-1A, and GM-S2110SR-7A, combining compact designs with seasonal styling and standard G-Shock durability.
A key design element across all models is the polarized vapor deposition glass. This finish shifts color depending on the viewing angle, creating a changing tint effect. The GMA-P2100SR-1A and GM-S2110SR-7A use green-tinted glass, while the GMA-P2100SR-7A and GM-S2110SR-1A feature a pink tint. Each unit has slight variations due to the coating process, and visibility may vary under certain lighting conditions.
The GM-S2110SR models use an octagonal case with a silver-tone stainless steel bezel. Strap options include a dark gray resin band on the GM-S2110SR-1A and a white resin band on the GM-S2110SR-7A. The GMA-P2100SR models use a round case with a translucent resin bezel and strap, available in black for the -1A variant and clear for the -7A version.
Both series are built in a compact form factor aimed at smaller wrists. The case measures 46 × 40.2 × 11.2 mm and weighs 40 g. Construction includes a resin case and bezel, a resin band, mineral glass, and shock resistance. Water resistance is rated at 200 meters. The watches run on a CR1025 battery with an estimated life of around three years.
Features include world time with 31 time zones covering 48 cities and UTC, a 1/100-second stopwatch, countdown timer up to 24 hours, five daily alarms, and an hourly time signal. Additional functions include double LED lighting for analog and digital displays, full auto calendar to 2099, mute option, ±15 seconds per month accuracy, and 12/24-hour format. The display combines analog hands with a digital panel and includes a hand shift feature.
In Japan, the GMA-P2100SR models are priced at ¥19,800 ($124), while the GM-S2110SR variants cost ¥30,250 ($190). Global availability is expected, though release timelines outside Japan have not been confirmed. Some models are expected to arrive later this month in markets outside of Japan.

Motorola’s Razr 70 has shown up in a new set of leaked renders, giving a clearer look at the design ahead of its expected launch. This comes not long after leaks around the Razr 70 Ultra and the Edge 70 Pro, so things seem to be picking up pace.
The images, shared by sources including YTechB, show the phone in three Pantone color options: Sporting Green, Hematite, and Violet Ice. There’s also talk of a fourth color. The green variant looks the most eye-catching, while the others lean a bit more toward neutral tones. Some reports also mention different textures depending on the color, possibly including a fabric-like or patterned finish.
In terms of design, not much seems to have changed. It still follows the same clamshell layout as before, with a large foldable screen inside and a smaller cover display on the outside. The inner display is expected to be around 6.9 inches, while the outer one sits at about 3.6 inches, which should be enough for quick interactions without unfolding the phone.
On the hardware side, there are a few upgrades being mentioned. The Razr 70 is said to come with 8GB, 12GB, or even 16GB of RAM, along with storage options going up to 1TB. The camera setup is also shifting a bit: instead of an ultrawide, the phone may use a 50MP, 3x telephoto paired with a 50MP main camera. There’s also a 32MP front camera.
Battery capacity is expected to be around 4,500mAh, the same as last year. Details about the chipset are still unclear, though it’s likely to be an upgrade over the previous model. The Razr 60 uses the 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 7400X, a mid-range chip aimed at balanced performance. For those looking for more raw power, the Razr 70 Ultra is expected to use the top-end Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, an upgrade over the 8 Elite in the Razr 60 Ultra.
Overall, the Razr 60 looks more like a refinement than a big redesign. Motorola seems to be adjusting things like camera setup and memory options while keeping the familiar form factor intact. With multiple leaks now surfacing, an official announcement probably isn’t too far off.
OnePlus may have just started teasing a new addition to its Ace lineup, likely the rumored OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra. The device has been circulating in leaks for weeks, but now there’s a more official signal that its launch might not be far off.
The hint comes from Li Jie Louis, President of OnePlus China, who recently suggested that a new “OnePlus Ace” phone is coming soon. While he didn’t explicitly name the Ace 6 Ultra, the timing lines up closely with recent certifications and leaks surrounding the device.
For instance, the phone recently appeared on China’s MIIT certification platform with the model number PMB110. These regulatory listings don’t reveal much on their own, but they usually indicate that a launch is getting closer.
OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra specifications
On the hardware side, the phone could feature a 6.8-inch OLED display with a 165Hz refresh rate.
As per previous reports, the OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra will have a 16-megapixel front camera. On the back, it is expected to include a 50-megapixel main camera along with an 8-megapixel ultra-wide sensor.
OnePlus Ace 6T
Powering the device will likely be the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chip paired with an 8,500mAh battery. Memory options are said to include configurations such as 12GB+256GB, 12GB+512GB, 16GB+256GB, 16GB+512GB, and 16GB+1TB. In terms of color options, the device may be available in Black and Titanium.
The Ace 6 Ultra is expected to go head-to-head with the Redmi K90 Max. The two are rumored to share the same chip, battery capacity, and refresh rate. Redmi has already started teasing the phone ahead of its expected launch this month.
As for global availability, it remains unclear whether the company plans to launch a tweaked version of the Ace 6 Ultra worldwide. In the past, a modified version of the Ace 6T was released globally under the OnePlus 15T moniker.

REDMI has a new tablet on the way, and it looks like a smaller, more affordable option. The Pad 2 SE has been officially teased, with the launch expected later this month in China.
From what the company has shared so far, the focus seems to be on the display and overall usability rather than raw performance. Lu Weibing is calling out a “high refresh rate and high brightness screen,” which is pretty much what you’d expect from its budget tablets lately.
The tablet uses a 9.7-inch 2K display, which is an interesting size: not too big, not exactly compact either. It should work fine for things like watching videos or reading, and still be easy enough to carry around. It also comes with TÜV Rheinland eye protection certifications, so there’s some attention to long-term viewing comfort as well.
Design is another area Xiaomi is highlighting. The Pad 2 SE features a metal unibody design. The durability probably just makes the tablet feel a bit nicer in hand overall.
There’s a 7600mAh battery inside, which sounds about right for this size. No detailed claims yet, but it should be enough for a full day with regular use.
The Pad 2 SE will go official alongside a few other products, including the REDMI Book Pro 2026 and the K90 Max. So it looks like Xiaomi is grouping everything into a single event again.
Not everything is known yet: pricing and full specs are still missing. But based on what’s been shared, the Pad 2 SE looks like a fairly straightforward device, with a bit more focus on the display and build quality.
Oppo seems to have another pair of budget earbuds in the works. The Enco R5 has now appeared in China Telecom’s product database, revealing an updated design.
The listing shows the earbuds under the model number ETEG1, and one of the noticeable changes this time is the move to a semi-in-ear design. That usually means a looser fit compared to in-ear tips, which some people prefer for longer use. It also tends to let in a bit more ambient sound, which can be either good or bad depending on how you use them.
There’s only one color mentioned so far, Frost Moon White, which is a standard clean finish. Nothing too unusual there.
As for the case, it looks fairly compact, coming in at around 49 × 49 × 24 mm and weighing roughly 39 grams. That should make it easy enough to carry around without thinking about it too much.
Each earbud is said to use a 12.4mm dynamic driver. That’s not uncommon in this segment, and it should be fine for everyday listening, though tuning will matter more than the size itself.
The feature list is pretty straightforward. There’s AI call noise reduction, dual-device connectivity, and an IP55 rating, so it should handle things like light rain or workouts without issues. Nothing particularly new here, but it covers the basics.
For comparison, the previous Enco R4 had a similar setup but used an in-ear design instead. It was positioned as a budget option, bundled with phones rather than sold on its own.
With the R5, Oppo seems to be tweaking the formula slightly, mainly focusing on design and ambient awareness.
There’s still no mention of battery life or pricing in the listing. That will probably come later when Oppo makes it official.

After the Find X9 Ultra, Oppo has now revealed the design of the Oppo Find X9s Pro ahead of its April 21 launch. It brings a noticeably new look to the back. Instead of a traditional camera island, the phone uses a horizontal layout that stretches across the upper portion of the device.
Inside that layout sits a square camera module, integrated into the design on the left side, while the right side has a visible step. The flash sits outside this camera module.
As for color options, the Oppo Find X9s Pro will be available in Wind Rider Green, Free White, Energetic Orange, and Native Titanium.
Oppo Find X9s Pro Specifications
The Find X9s Pro uses a flat 1.5K display on the front, paired with a right-angled metal frame.
As expected, cameras are the centerpiece here. The Find X9s Pro is said to feature a dual 200-megapixel system co-developed with Hasselblad, including both a main and telephoto sensor. Oppo is also adding a teleconverter-style function for long-distance shooting.
Alongside that, the phone includes a second-generation Danxia color system, a new LUMO imaging engine, and an updated Hasselblad Master Mode with native film-style output. Video recording goes up to 8K.
Under the hood, the device is powered by the Dimensity 9500 chipset, paired with a notably large 7,025mAh battery. For top up, it supports 80W wired and 50W wireless charging.
Other features include a 144Hz display, an eye-protection panel capable of dimming down to 1 nit brightness, ultrasonic fingerprint unlocking, and full IP66, IP68, and IP69 water resistance ratings. The phone will also run ColorOS 16 out of the box.
The Oppo Find X9s Pro smartphone will launch at 19:00 on April 21st. In addition to the Find X9s Pro and Find X9 Ultra smartphones, Oppo will also unveil the Enco Clip 2 earphones.

DJI is getting ready to update its pocket gimbal camera lineup, with the Osmo Pocket 4 series now officially set to launch on April 16 at 12 PM (GMT). The new models look like they’ll build on the Pocket 3, with a focus on image quality and a few practical upgrades.
The company has already shared a teaser with the line “A myriad of images in an inch…” (translated from Chinese), which seems to point toward the sensor. As expected, low-light performance and dynamic range are likely areas of improvement.
From what’s been shown so far, the standard Osmo Pocket 4 sticks to the familiar design: a compact body with a camera mounted on top and a small rotatable screen below. There are also physical controls around the hinge area, including a zoom toggle and a customizable button.
There’s also talk of a Pro version, which could introduce a dual-camera setup. That part hasn’t been officially detailed yet, but it suggests DJI might be aiming for a bit more flexibility in terms of focal lengths or shooting modes.
On the hardware side, the standard model is expected to use a 1-inch sensor with up to 14 stops of dynamic range. It should also support 10-bit D-Log, which is useful if you’re planning to do color grading later.
A couple of smaller but practical upgrades are also mentioned. The device may come with 107GB of built-in storage, along with transfer speeds of up to 800MB/s, which should make moving footage a bit quicker.
Overall, it looks like DJI is keeping the same compact form factor but trying to improve the things that matter most for everyday shooting: better dynamic range, easier controls, and faster workflow.
We’ll know more once the company officially unveils the series later this week.
Nothing’s sub-brand CMF announced the CMF Phone 2 Pro in April last year. As the company refreshes the lineup once a year, early details about its successor are starting to surface right on schedule.
A new report from Android Headlines has revealed the specs of the CMF Phone 3 Pro ahead of its launch. Let’s learn about it.
Nothing CMF Phone (3) Pro Specifications (Rumored)
According to the report, one of the biggest changes this generation could be the processor. The upcoming phone is expected to move away from MediaTek chips and instead use a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 4. The CMF Phone 2 Pro, by comparison, uses a Dimensity 7300 Pro processor.
The phone is also said to have a rated battery capacity of 5,090mAh, with a typical capacity of around 5,400mAh. That will be paired with support for 45W wired charging, up from 33W on the previous model.
Design-wise, the changes seem more subtle. The mid-frame could switch from plastic to metal, which may improve both in-hand feel and durability.
Likewise, the rear camera layout is said to stay mostly the same, although the flash placement has reportedly been adjusted to create more space between the third camera and the dual-camera setup on the left.
The display is tipped to be an AMOLED panel with a resolution of 2392 × 1080, along with a centered punch-hole cutout for the front-facing camera.
There’s no official confirmation yet from Nothing or CMF, and details could still change before launch. Still, if the report is accurate, the CMF Phone 3 Pro looks like a modest but deliberate update that will focus on incremental improvements rather than a major overhaul.
Huawei today confirmed that its next-generation Pura series will debut on April 20 in China, where the company will unveil the Pura 90 Pro and Pura 90 Pro Max. Pre-reservations for both devices kick off today at 12:08 PM China time, according to Huawei’s official Weibo account.
In the lead-up to the launch, Huawei has already shown off the design of two phones, and, to its credit, it’s not playing things too safe.
Both models feature a gradient finish across all of their color options, except black and white. This isn’t the first time Huawei has used gradients on its phone colors. The P20 and P30 series also experimented with similar finishes across select colorways.
Huawei Pura 90 ProHuawei Pura 90 Pro MaxHuawei Pura 90 Pro Max
Around the back, there’s a rounded triangular camera module, paired with flat sides that give the phones a more structured, almost industrial look.
The teasers confirm that both the Pro and Pro Max share this overall design language, though the silhouette doesn’t stray too far from last year’s Pura 80 lineup.
Huawei Pura 90 Series Specifications (Expected)
On the hardware side, the Pura 90 Pro and Pro Max are both expected to use either the Kirin 9030 or the Kirin 9030 Pro processor. The phones will likely run HarmonyOS 6.1 out of the box.
Huawei may also bring its HyperSpace Memory technology to the series. Previously introduced on the Mate 80 Pro Max, it focuses on improving memory efficiency, allowing a 16GB RAM configuration to deliver an experience closer to 20GB through compression.
As expected, cameras remain a major focus for the Pura lineup. The Pura 90 series is rumored to feature a second-generation Maple Imaging System, along with a large 200-megapixel periscope telephoto lens.
`We should learn more about the new phones in the lead-up to launch.
Xiaomi has added a new model to its Mi Home robot vacuum lineup in China, as a more accessible option under the Robot Vacuum and Mop 6 series. It sits below the Pro version that launched recently, but still brings a few noticeable upgrades over the previous generation.
One of the main changes in the standard Robot Vacuum and Mop 6 is the bump in suction power, now rated at 28,000 Pa, up from 23,000 Pa of the Mop 5 Pro. On paper, that should help with picking up finer dust and debris, especially from carpets. But the bigger shift seems to be on the mopping side. Xiaomi has moved away from rotating pads and is now using a roller-style mopping system. The roller is fed with clean water continuously, while a built-in scraper collects dirt, which should help avoid spreading it around during cleaning.
The robot also uses a main brush along with two extending side arms to better reach corners and edges. It’s relatively slim at 90 mm, so it should be able to go under most furniture. For navigation, onboard cameras are used for obstacle detection, with Xiaomi claiming support for recognizing up to 220 types of objects. It can also cross small thresholds of up to 40 mm.
The docking station handles a few of the maintenance tasks. It supports 80°C hot water mop washing, and the tray can be removed for cleaning. Like other Xiaomi smart devices, the robot can be controlled through the app and tied into a wider smart home setup.
In China, the vacuum is priced at CNY 2,699 (roughly $395), making it cheaper than the Pro model. There’s no word yet on a global launch, but based on past releases, it could show up in other markets under a slightly different name.
Overall, this looks like Xiaomi trying to bring some of its newer cleaning features into a more affordable model. It doesn’t do everything the Pro version does, but it covers the basics, with a few practical upgrades along the way.

While the listing has now been removed, it revealed several key specifications and design details, as seen in screenshots circulating online.
As per the listing, the Oppo Find X9 Ultra will feature a 6.78-inch OLED display with a resolution of 3168 x 1440 pixels. Reports claim it may support a 144Hz refresh rate. For security, the phone is likely to include an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor and run on ColorOS 16 based on Android 16.
Under the hood, the handset is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. It is expected to be paired with LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.1 storage. The battery capacity is listed at 7,050mAh, with reports suggesting support for 100W wired and 50W wireless charging.
For imaging, the phone may feature a 50-megapixel front camera. On the rear, it will have a 200-megapixel + 50-megapixel + 200-megapixel + 50-megapixel quad-camera setup. A 3.2-megapixel multispectral sensor is also said to be part of the setup.

Realme has confirmed the launch of its latest true wireless earbuds, the realme Buds T500 Pro, set to arrive on April 16. The new model builds on the success of the widely popular realme Buds T300, which remains a strong pick in the budget segment due to its balance of features and price.
The Buds T300 set the foundation for Realme’s TWS lineup in India. It offered 12.4mm dynamic drivers, 30dB active noise cancellation, and up to 40 hours of total battery life, along with Bluetooth 5.3 and a 50ms low-latency mode. Its combination of ANC, spatial audio support, and long battery life at a starting price near ₹2,000 helped it gain traction as a value-focused option.
With the Buds T500 Pro, Realme is now moving that formula into a higher segment with clear upgrades across hardware and software.
The new earbuds retain the 12.4mm driver size but add Hi-Res certification and LHDC 5.0 codec support, targeting improved audio fidelity over the T300’s SBC and AAC support. Users also get multiple EQ modes for sound customization.
Noise control sees a jump from 30dB on the T300 to up to 50dB active noise cancellation on the T500 Pro. Call performance is also upgraded, moving from a quad-mic setup to a six-microphone system with a real-time AI noise reduction algorithm designed to isolate voice more effectively.
Battery performance is another major step up. While the T300 delivers up to 40 hours of total playback, the T500 Pro is rated for up to 56 hours with the charging case. Realme also claims extended usage cycles, with standby playback stretching up to 14 days depending on usage.
Connectivity improves from Bluetooth 5.3 to Bluetooth 6.1, alongside a 45ms ultra-low latency mode aimed at gaming and video playback.
A new addition is real-time, two-way translation for face-to-face conversations, a feature not present on the T300. Design-wise, the Buds T500 Pro shifts to a compact, candy box-style case, moving away from the simpler design language of the T300.
The earbuds will be available in Lemon Cola, Orange Mint, and Chocolate color options, and will go on sale via Realme’s official website, Flipkart, and Amazon after launch.

Honor has shared an early look at a new tablet in its MagicPad lineup, this time a 12.3-inch version of the MagicPad 3 Pro. Unlike the larger model from last year, this one seems to focus more on design and display rather than pushing for top-end performance.
The details were posted by Lin Lin from Honor’s Smart Life division, along with a few official images. The company is calling it more of an “aesthetic flagship,” which gives a rough idea of where it sits in the lineup. The bigger 13.3-inch model still handles the performance side of things.
Up front, there’s a 12.3-inch OLED display with slim bezels. One of the more notable features here is support for 5280Hz PWM dimming, which is meant to reduce eye strain during longer use. That’s something we’ve been seeing more often lately, especially on devices aimed at reading or content consumption.
Design is clearly a big part of the pitch. The tablet comes in a space gray finish, and it’s quite thin, around 4.8mm, while weighing roughly 440g. That should make it easy to carry around. The back includes a camera module with a ring-style flash, and there are contact points that suggest support for accessories like a keyboard.
Honor also mentions IMAX Enhanced certification, which typically relates to improved picture and audio tuning. It doesn’t always translate directly into a noticeable difference for everyone, but it’s there as an added feature.
The idea here seems to be offering two slightly different takes under the same series: one focused on performance, the other leaning more toward portability and display comfort. The earlier 13.3-inch MagicPad 3 Pro set the tone with higher-end specs, while this smaller version looks like it’s trying to balance things a bit differently.
There’s no official word yet on pricing or full specifications for this model. That should become clearer once Honor announces it more formally.
