Samsung Display is facing a significant supply disruption in China this April, according to recent industry reports. All display orders scheduled for the month have reportedly been cancelled, with no fresh stock available for shipment. Distributors are currently relying only on existing inventory, indicating a sudden halt in supply flow.
Sources suggest that there has been internal confirmation of zero stock availability for the April dispatch. While early signs of disruption appeared as shipment delays at the beginning of the month, the situation quickly escalated into complete order cancellations. This specifically affects Distributor Purchase (DP) orders across the region.

The impact is being felt widely among offline distributors, many of whom have been formally notified about the lack of stock. Major distribution partners, including Hanlinhui and Samsung Pengtai, are among those affected. As a result, distributors have entered an inventory depletion phase, with no new stock being added to the supply chain.
Pricing has also started to shift due to tightening supply. Hanlinhui reportedly resumed limited shipping on April 13, but without subsidies. This has led to an approximate price increase of ¥100 (~$15), signaling rising costs and constrained availability.
Samsung Pengtai continues to supply products to JD.com, but it is operating solely on remaining inventory and is unable to secure new stock at this time.
The disruption points to a short-term supply crunch in China’s display market. It may lead to broader price increases and could reflect underlying production or logistics challenges within Samsung Display’s operations.

Users on forums like Reddit have described the battery drain as sudden and severe. In some cases, Google Play Services alone is said to consume more than 10% of the battery. Restarting the watch may temporarily reduce this usage, but the problem often returns. Some users have also noticed missing or inaccurate battery usage stats.
Temporary Fixes and Current Status
Basic troubleshooting steps like restarting the watch, clearing the cache, or performing a full reset have been tried by many users. However, these fixes only provide temporary relief and are not reliable.
As of now, there has been no official response from Samsung or Google. The exact cause remains unclear, and users may need to wait for a future software update to fully resolve the issue.

Samsung has stretched the One UI 8.5 beta program long enough to make it the longest One UI beta program in the company’s history. While that can be frustrating, it has allowed the brand to release the One UI 8.5 beta to a larger number of Galaxy devices, thus becoming the company’s biggest beta program to date.
The beta program went live in early December 2025, starting with the Galaxy S25 series, and it didn’t expand to other devices for the next three months. That long gap led to rumors that the beta program might remain exclusive to the Galaxy S25 series. But Samsung had other plans.
In mid-March 2026, the One UI 8.5 beta expanded to Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 for the first time. The beta rollout has since expanded to over a dozen Galaxy devices. What surprised us the most is the inclusion of Galaxy A-series phones, which typically don’t receive minor One UI releases. The list also includes three generations of FE phones, for the first time.
As of writing this post, the One UI 8.5 beta program is available for a total of 21 Galaxy devices. Here’s the complete list:
Galaxy S25 series, S24 series, S23 series
Galaxy S25 FE, S24 FE, S23 FE
Galaxy Z Fold 7, Fold 6, Fold 5
Galaxy Z Flip 6, Flip 6, Flip 5
Galaxy Tab S11, Tab S11 Ultra
Galaxy A55, A36, A35
That’s 21 devices in total, more than the total number of Galaxy devices that participated in previous One UI beta programs. The One UI 8.0 beta had about 18 eligible devices, while the One UI 7 beta had only 12. The One UI 6.1 and One UI 6.1.1 beta programs had fewer than 15 eligible devices each.
While it’s good to see Samsung doing the hard work to bring the One UI 8.5 beta to a larger user base, there’s still room for improvement. Samsung could’ve done a better job of expanding the beta, particularly in the first few months. And for the Galaxy S25 series, Samsung appears to be prolonging the beta program, given that recent beta builds have had no critical bugs. It has already received nine One UI 8.5 betas, which is already the biggest any Galaxy device has received so far. Still, looking at new features and upgrades in One UI 8.5, the wait is worth it.

Xiaomi has added a new model to its entry-level lineup in India, and this one brings a small change to the naming as well. The Redmi A7 Pro 5G is now official, marking the first time a “Pro” tag shows up in the A-series. At a glance, the focus is pretty clear. This phone is all about size and battery, rather than pushing performance.
You get a 6.9-inch HD+ LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Resolution is still on the lower side, but for everyday use, scrolling, videos, it should feel good enough. Xiaomi has also added triple TUV Certifications for Low Blue Light, Flicker-Free viewing, and Circadian-friendly tuning to ensure a comfortable visual experience.
Under the hood, it runs on the Unisoc T8300, paired with 4GB RAM and up to 8GB of virtual RAM. Storage goes up to 128GB and can be expanded via microSD, so there’s some flexibility there.
The phone packs a 6,300mAh battery, which should easily last a full day, and likely longer for lighter users. Charging is capped at 15W, so topping it up will take some time.
Cameras are fairly basic. A 32MP main sensor on the back, plus an 8MP front camera. Enough for casual use, but clearly not the highlight here.
On the software side, it runs HyperOS 3 based on Android 16, and Xiaomi is promising up to four years of OS updates and six years of security patches. That’s actually quite solid for this segment. Other bits include a side fingerprint sensor, headphone jack, USB-C, and IP52 rating for basic dust and splash protection.
Pricing and availability:
Pricing starts at ₹11,499 for the 4GB + 64GB model, going up to ₹12,499 for 128GB. Sales begin April 15 across Xiaomi’s website, Amazon, and offline stores.
While this is a straightforward budget phone, the camera island design makes it look much more expensive than it is, which could be a big selling point for many.
Samsung looks like it’s leaning more seriously into its own chips for 2027. New reports suggest the company plans to increase the use of Exynos processors in the Galaxy S27 series, mainly to reduce how much it depends on Qualcomm. The reason is pretty straightforward, Snapdragon chips are getting expensive. For the Galaxy S25 lineup, Samsung went all-in on Qualcomm’s flagship chip, which ended up costing the company around 3 trillion won.
If Samsung continues down this path, things don’t really get easier. The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro, expected to power the Galaxy S27 Ultra, is said to move to TSMC’s more expensive 2nm process. That would likely push costs even higher. At that point, Samsung either absorbs the hit, passes it on to buyers, or leans more on its own chips to keep manufacturing costs in check.
So the shift toward Exynos isn’t exactly surprising. That said, real-life performance tests paint a mixed picture of the Exynos 2600. It performs well in some areas, but still trails Snapdragon in power efficiency, thermals, and battery life.
As for the Galaxy S27 series, Samsung is said to be aiming for roughly a 50% split between Snapdragon and Exynos. That’s a noticeable jump, and it suggests the company is more confident this time around.
Of course, this isn’t without some risk. Exynos hasn’t always had the best reputation, especially when compared to Snapdragon in real-world use. That said, recent versions have improved, and Samsung clearly has a strong incentive to keep pushing in that direction.
In a way, this feels like a long-term correction. Relying too heavily on Qualcomm turned out to be expensive, and now Samsung is trying to rebalance things.
How well this works will depend on the power efficiency and stability of the Exynos 2700. If it can hold up in everyday performance, not just benchmarks, Samsung might finally get closer to that balance it’s been aiming for.
Xiaomi has quietly added two new phones to its Chinese website, the REDMI R70 5G and R70m 5G, and they look very much aimed at the lower end of the 5G market.
Both models are currently marked as “coming soon,” so they’re not up for sale yet. Still, the listings give a fairly clear idea of what Xiaomi is going for here, large displays, big batteries, and pricing that stays within reach.
The two phones share most of their core specs. Up front, there’s a 6.9-inch LCD panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 720p+ resolution. Not the sharpest, but it should be enough for everyday use like scrolling, messaging, and streaming.
They’re powered by the Unisoc T8300, built on a 6nm process, paired with LPDDR4x RAM and UFS 2.2 storage. Nothing high-end, but in line with what you’d expect at this price point.
Xiaomi is offering a decent range of configurations. The R70 starts at 4GB + 128GB (1599 yuan) and goes up to 8GB + 256GB, while the R70m skips the base variant and stretches all the way to 12GB + 256GB.
The main difference between the two is the battery. The standard R70 comes with a 6000mAh unit, while the R70m bumps that up slightly to 6300mAh. Charging is capped at 15W.
Camera setup is pretty basic. There’s an 8MP front camera and a single 13MP rear sensor, so clearly not a focus here.
Design-wise, they follow a familiar look and come in a few color options like Feather White, Starry Black, and a couple of blue and purple shades. The phones are on the larger side, but still relatively slim for what they pack. Both models run Hyper OS 3, which is Xiaomi’s software skin based on Android 16.
Overall, these feel like straightforward budget 5G phones. Not trying to do anything fancy, just covering the basics with a bit of extra emphasis on battery life.
Last year in June, Red Magic unveiled the Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered Red Magic Gaming Tablet 3 Pro in China, which later launched globally as the Red Magic Astra Gaming Tablet.

The device may also integrate an on-device AI model, adding new capabilities beyond gaming.
DCS leaks Red Magic Gaming Tablet 5 Pro’s specs
The leak has no information about the device’s cameras. It remains to be seen whether it inherits the 9-megapixel rear camera and a 13-megapixel front camera from the previous generation.
Red Magic Gaming Tablet 5 Pro configs, color options
The Red Magic Gaming Tablet 5 Pro is expected to arrive in several variants, including 12GB+256GB, 16GB+512GB, 16GB+1TB and 24GB+1TB. It may also feature distinctive design options such as transparent finishes with RGB lighting elements, aligning with the brand’s gaming-focused identity. Globally, this device may get rebranded as Red Magic Astra 2.
Red Magic 11S Pro+ in the works
Alongside the tablet, the company is also said to be working on the Red Magic 11S Pro+. This upcoming device is expected to continue the gaming-centric approach with liquid cooling, and could arrive as an incremental upgrade over the current Red Magic 11 Pro series. It remains to be seen whether both devices will debut together.

Huawei is preparing to launch its next flagship lineup, the Pura 90 series, on April 20. The Pro Max is the top-of-the-line model—there’s no Ultra this time—and Huawei today revealed some camera details about it.
The Pura 90 Pro Max features a 200-megapixel telephoto lens, a first for a Huawei flagship. The company says the camera can “capture everything, near and far.”
Huawei is also extending this capability to video. The phone supports up to 20x telephoto video recording using that same lens. While devices like the Galaxy S26 Ultra already offer similar zoom levels, Huawei’s emphasis here suggests strong optimization.
Moreover, the company also announced an AI posture recommendation feature for the Pura 90 series. If you tend to rely on the same poses in photos, the system can suggest alternatives. It’s another example of how smartphone makers are trying to make photography feel more guided rather than purely manual.
Huawei Pura 90 Pro Max Specifications
According to previous reports, the Pura 90 Pro Max features a 50-megapixel main camera with a 1-inch sensor and a variable aperture.
The company is also continuing with its second-generation Red Maple Image technology, which reproduces more natural colors. This is particularly relevant in scenes with complex lighting—such as sunsets or firelight—where maintaining accurate tones is often difficult.
On the hardware side, the device is expected to run on the Kirin 9030 Pro chip. It may also ship with the new HarmonyOS 6.1.
As for looks, the Pura 90 Pro Max will come in Obsidian Black, Dawn Gold, Purple Sunset, Orange Ocean, and Emerald Lake. All variants except Obsidian Black and Dawn Gold will feature a gradient finish. Storage options are expected to include 12GB/256GB, 12GB/512GB, 16GB/512GB, and 16GB/1TB configurations.
We should learn more about the new phones in the lead-up to launch.
At a recent media interaction following the Vivo X300 Ultra launch, Vivo executives Huang Tao and Han Boxiao outlined the company’s next steps in imaging innovation. While the flagship introduced a new camera approach, the conversation also revealed plans that could extend these features to more devices and even new product categories.
Vlogging camera teased ahead of Q3 launch
DJI Osmo Pocket 3
Alongside plans for camera expansion, Vivo also hinted at a new device focused on self-recording, which appears to be the rumored vlogging camera. The company acknowledged that while rear cameras offer strong video capabilities, users who shoot vlogs or live content often depend on action cameras or external accessories.
To address this, Vivo is preparing a new solution expected to arrive with the next-generation X series in Q3. Early indications suggest a compact, pocket-style device with built-in stabilisation, designed to offer a more convenient setup for creators who prefer filming themselves.
The next X-series is tentatively dubbed the Vivo X500 series and is now expected to launch in Q3. To recall, the X300 series was announced in October last year, but with the X500 lineup now shifting earlier, it appears that both the new flagship range and the company’s first vlogging camera could debut around September in China. The vlogging camera may rival the DJI Osmo Pocket 4, which is launching this week globally.
Telephoto extender could reach S60 series
In China, Vivo is offering external telephoto extender accessories like the G2 and G2 Ultra for the Vivo X300 Ultra. These attachments are designed to improve long-distance photography, especially in challenging situations such as concerts or stadium seating. Han Boxiao explained that, rather than making photography more complex, these accessories aim to address practical limitations by helping users capture distant subjects more effectively.
Vivo is also working towards a more standardised mounting system for these accessories. The company is considering bringing similar support to its youth-focused S series. This could align with the upcoming S60 series in China. However, Huang Tao noted that such a move depends on whether these devices can maintain consistent image quality with the extender, suggesting that performance remains a key condition. As far as launch is concerned, the S60 lineup is expected to launch in May or June this year in China.

The Motorola Razr 70 Ultra has surfaced in a fresh leak, giving a clearer picture of what to expect. While it hints at some improvements, the overall package appears quite familiar. The latest details come from Android Headlines, offering a closer look at the device ahead of launch.
Motorola Razr 70 Ultra specifications leaked
Motorola Razr 70 Ultra
As per the report, the Motorola Razr 70 Ultra will house a 7-inch inner foldable display with a resolution of 2992 x 1224, along with a 4-inch cover screen at 1080 x 1272. The overall dimensions and weight remain almost unchanged compared to its predecessor, indicating no major design shift this time.
Under the hood, the smartphone is tipped to run on last year’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, paired with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. This is the same configuration seen on the earlier model, which may raise questions for users expecting a generational jump. The phone is also likely to ship with Android 16 out of the box, keeping it in line with current software trends.
In terms of cameras, Motorola is expected to continue with a triple 50-megapixel setup, including a primary, ultra-wide, and front-facing sensor. The brand’s color tuning, influenced by its Pantone collaboration, is likely to remain a key highlight for photography.
The main change appears to be the battery. The Razr 70 Ultra is said to feature a 5,000mAh battery, which is around 6 percent larger than the previous generation. Charging support is expected to stay at 68W. While this improvement may enhance day-to-day usage, it stands out as the only notable upgrade in an otherwise unchanged spec sheet. A recent leak revealed that it will arrive in two shades, such as Pantone Cocoa Wood and Orient Blue Alcantara.
Overall, the leak suggests that the Razr 70 Ultra focuses more on refinement rather than reinvention, with the battery being the primary area of improvement.

Huawei is preparing to launch its next foldable, the Pura X Max and Collector’s Edition, on April 20. The device sits at the top of the company’s wide-folding lineup, and if a new leak is anything to go by, it may also come with a noticeably higher price tag than its predecessor.
According to a Chinese tipster, the Huawei Pura X Max is expected to start above 10,000 yuan (around $1,465). That would put it well above last year’s Pura X, which launched at 7,499 yuan (roughly $1,097).
Another reliable tipster appears to back that up, hinting at a price in the same 10,000 yuan range.
Huawei Pura X Max Specifications (Expected)
For the price, the tipster says the Pura X Max will bring a battery exceeding 6,000mAh. It’s also expected to debut with HarmonyOS 6.1, making it one of the first devices to ship with Huawei’s updated operating system.
As for performance, the standard Huawei Pura X Max will reportedly use the Kirin 9030 chip, while a higher-end Collector’s Edition could feature a Kirin 9030 Pro. Huawei hasn’t confirmed either chipset so far.
The hardware changes extend beyond internals. The Pura X Max is also expected to feature a larger 7.6-inch internal display, maintaining the wide-folding format Huawei introduced with the earlier Pura X.
The device may also include a periscope telephoto lens with Huawei’s XMAGE imaging system, along with a newer version of its Maple Leaf primary color technology.
Huawei will offer the Pura X Max in multiple color options, including Midnight Black, Zero White, Interstellar Blue, Olive Gold, and Vibrant Orange.
The company has some momentum going into this release. The earlier Pura X reportedly crossed 1.5 million units in shipments, a solid number for a foldable device.

Casio has unveiled two new G-Shock models that draw inspiration from Japan’s iconic red lanterns. The DW-6900AKA-4JR and DW-5600AKA-4JR celebrate the aka-chochin culture, which represents the casual and lively ambiance of Japan’s traditional taverns. Both models are priced at ¥22,000 (approximately $138) and are now available in the Japanese market.
Design Details
Casio has designed these watches to reflect the vibrant red of traditional Japanese lanterns. The DW-6900AKA-4JR has a larger case with bold shock-resistant branding across the bezel and band, while the smaller DW-5600AKA-4JR also features the same eye-catching design.
The buttons and band loop incorporate details that evoke the handle and lighting elements of lanterns. Casio has engraved a lantern motif on the case back of both watches. The packaging features red lantern-themed artwork, enhancing the special edition appeal.
Casio has used biomass resin for the bezels and bands to make the watches more sustainable. This material is created from renewable organic resources and helps to reduce environmental impact while maintaining the G-Shock’s well-known durability.
Both models include the standard G-Shock features. They have a shock-resistant structure, 200-meter water resistance, and a long battery life of approximately five years. The watches incorporate practical tools such as stopwatches, timers, multi-function alarms, and full-auto calendars. Casio also included a distinctive LED backlight that replicates the warm glow of red lanterns, further tying the design to its cultural inspiration.
The DW-6900AKA-4JR measures 53.2 x 50 x 18.7 mm and weighs 67g, while the DW-5600AKA-4JR is smaller at 48.9 x 42.8 x 13.4 mm and weighs just 53g. Both models fit wrist sizes between 145 mm and 205 mm and feature mineral glass to protect the dials.
Vivo’s next Ultra phone looks set to arrive in India sooner than expected. According to a report from Smartprix, citing Yogesh Brar, the Vivo X300 Ultra could launch on May 7, with sales likely beginning around May 14. Last year’s X200 Ultra never made it outside its home market officially, so if this holds, it would be a relatively quick turnaround.
There’s a 6.82-inch LTPO AMOLED display with 2K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate, which should be more than enough for everyday use and gaming. Nothing unusual there, but still a strong spec. It’s expected to run on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, so performance shouldn’t be a concern. That part is also fairly straightforward.
The camera setup is where things stand out a bit more. The X300 Ultra includes two 200MP sensors as part of a triple rear camera system. That’s not something we see often, even in top-of-the-line flagships, so it’ll be interesting to see how Vivo actually uses them. There’s a 50MP front camera for selfies.
The Chinese version packs a 6,600mAh battery and supports 100W wired and 40W wireless charging. On paper, that should be enough for a full day of use, with a full recharge taking around 30–40 minutes. On the software side, it runs OriginOS 6 based on Android 16.
Pricing hasn’t been mentioned so far, but given the positioning, it’s likely to sit firmly in the premium range. For context, in its home market, the phone starts at 6,999 yuan for the 12GB + 256GB model and goes up to 11,999 yuan for the 16GB + 1TB Satellite Edition bundled with the photography kit.

The Honor WIN gaming laptop is scheduled to launch on April 23rd in China. However, the company has already revealed most of the interesting parts during a recent PC technology communication conference.
The main focus is cooling. Honor is using what it calls the Dongfeng tail jet cooling engine, which is built around a new airflow system. Instead of relying on a standard internal fan layout, the company has designed what it describes as the industry’s first centrifugal axial flow mixed air system.
This setup uses the thickness at the rear of the laptop to fit four self-developed axial fans in parallel, all connected through an internal airflow duct.
According to Honor’s test data, the system pushes internal airflow beyond 6.3 CFM, with total system airflow exceeding 21 CFM. The company also worked on shrinking the fan components, reducing motor size to around 10 mm while pushing speeds past 20,000 RPM.
Compared to a typical three-fan setup, Honor claims this design increases internal airflow by 57% and overall airflow by 10%, while also lowering keyboard temperature slightly.
The cooling system is designed to support a total performance output of 270W. Honor says this allows the laptop to better sustain high loads, especially when paired with hardware like the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti.
Compared to more traditional cooling approaches, the company claims a small gain in overall airflow and a 20W improvement in power handling under similar conditions.
Beyond this
Alongside the laptop, Honor also showed a 360W power adapter based on gallium nitride technology. It is designed to deliver full power while also supporting compatibility across different PC brands through interchangeable connectors. The company also introduced a set of accessories, including a backpack, gaming headset, and mouse, under the same WIN branding.
Beyond hardware, Honor used the event to talk about software and ecosystem plans. It announced what it calls the AI PC 3.0 era and introduced a new assistant, the YOYO Claw. The company describes it as part of a new category of AI-driven PCs, although details on how this will work in real use are still limited.

DJI is set to launch the Osmo Pocket 4 on April 16, but just ahead of that, a leak has put some focus on the Pro model. A new image shared online is said to show the Osmo Pocket 4 Pro next to the standard version, and the difference between the two is fairly noticeable.
The photo comes from tipster Igor Bogdanov. It does give a rough idea of what DJI might be working on. The regular model keeps the familiar single-camera setup, while the Pro version appears to add a second lens.
That second camera is really the main point of interest here. The module on the Pro looks larger and slightly heavier at the top, which probably has to do with the extra lens and gimbal hardware.
There have been earlier mentions of the standard model supporting 2x in-sensor zoom and up to 4x digital zoom. If that’s accurate, then the Pro version could be adding a telephoto lens, possibly around 3x optical zoom. That would give it a bit more flexibility, especially for creators who want tighter framing without relying too much on digital zoom.
The image itself doesn’t reveal much beyond the dual-lens design. It’s slightly blurry, and there aren’t any readable markings near the lenses, so most of this is still based on interpretation rather than confirmation.
As for timing, the Pro model may arrive later. Current leaks point to a late spring window, which would mean DJI is planning to separate the launches instead of announcing both together.
For now, it’s still early, and things could change. But even from this one image, it looks like DJI might be moving the Pocket series a bit closer toward a more flexible, camera-focused setup rather than keeping it strictly simple. More details should come through once the standard model is officially out.

TSMC would hit another major milestone this year as its advanced nodes would allow smartphone chipsets to reach clock speeds up to 5GHz. Companies like Qualcomm, MediaTek, and Apple have already been greatly benefiting from TSMC’s cutting-edge technologies, and later this year, we’ll witness new chips reaching up to 5GHz of peak clock speeds for the first time in history, and that only makes it worse for Huawei to compete with.
Over the years, Qualcomm, MediaTek, and Apple have grown strongly to offer powerful chips with excellent performance and efficiency, and TSMC has been at the center of it. The chart below (shared by Kurnal) shows how these companies have gradually increased peak clock speeds, now pushing toward the 5.0GHz mark.
The latest flagship from Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, can already reach a peak speed of 4.61GHz, and the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro is said to reach 5.0GHz. MediaTek’s Dimensity 9600 Pro will reportedly achieve a similar feat, following the Dimensity 9500’s 4.21GHz peak clock speed. This increase enables SoCs to offer major improvements in both single-threaded and multi-threaded workloads.
Huawei’s Kirin chipsets, on the other hand, are nowhere near the performance and efficiency offered by Qualcomm, MediaTek, and Apple. Its downtrend on the above graph is due to U.S. trade sanctions that banned the company from doing business with TSMC. Huawei had no other option but to use China’s SMIC facility, which is still generations behind TSMC. Even today, SMIC is limited to the 5nm process because it’s restricted from using the most advanced EUV (Extreme Ultraviolet) lithography machines.
Huawei’s latest chip, Kirin 9030 Pro, hasn’t crossed the 3.0GHz mark. As things stand today, Huawei is still a long way behind Qualcomm, MediaTek, and Apple to even compete with them, and the difference is a foundry partner.

Xiaomi’s upcoming 18 Pro series has been showing up in leaks at a steady pace, and the latest one adds a few more details.
As you might already know, Xiaomi is reportedly working on two Xiaomi 18 Pro models: a smaller Xiaomi 18 Pro and a larger 18 Pro Max.
Xiaomi 18 Pro Specifications (Expected)
According to prolific tipster Digital Chat Station, the smaller Pro model could feature a battery capacity starting in the “7,000mAh” range, along with support for both 100W wired and wireless charging. In comparison, Xiaomi 17 Pro has a 63000mAh cell.
On the camera side, the report mentions a “dual 200MP” setup, alongside telephoto and macro capabilities. That lines up with earlier rumors, which also pointed to 200MP sensors from SmartSens for the Xiaomi 18 Pro.
These new sensors are also expected to support LOFIC HDR 3.0, a hardware-based approach aimed at improving dynamic range.
There’s also talk of modular optics, including magnetic, snap-on lenses. If that actually makes it to the final product, it could give users more flexibility, especially for zoom or more specialized photography.
Performance is expected to come from Qualcomm’s next-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chip built on a 2nm process. It is likely to be paired with up to 16GB of RAM.
Meanwhile, the larger 18 Pro Max could push battery capacity even further, with prototypes said to be targeting around 8,500mAh.
The Max model is also expected to retain the secondary rear display introduced last year.
As usual with early leaks, none of this is confirmed, and Xiaomi hasn’t said anything publicly. We’ll keep you updated as more details about the phone start to surface.

China is exploring nuclear energy to power its fast-growing AI infrastructure
“Linglong One” SMR is nearing completion and could start operations this year
A “nuclear + computing” industrial park is planned to build zero-carbon AI systems
AI-generated image for representation only
China is looking at nuclear power as a solution to one of AI’s biggest challenges: electricity. As artificial intelligence systems grow, they require huge amounts of energy to process data. Industry leaders, including Jensen Huang, have described AI tokens as the “new commodity,” highlighting how computing demand is rapidly increasing.
To meet this demand, China is focusing on Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), which are smaller, flexible nuclear units that can be built closer to data centers. These reactors are easier to deploy than traditional nuclear plants and can provide steady, 24/7 power, something AI systems need.
A major project in this space is the Linglong One reactor, developed by China National Nuclear Corporation. It is the world’s first onshore commercial SMR and is already about 90% complete. Once operational, it is expected to generate around 1 billion kWh of electricity annually while significantly reducing carbon emissions.
China is also planning a “nuclear + computing power” industrial park in Hainan, aiming to create a clean, zero-carbon AI ecosystem. The project has been prioritized in the country’s 2026 government plans.
Globally, nuclear energy is gaining attention as a reliable, low-carbon solution for powering AI. With AI usage rising rapidly, especially in China, the link between computing power and electricity is becoming clearer than ever.

Android 17 is in its beta phase, and phone makers like Xiaomi are already deep into building their next software on top of it. The company’s upcoming HyperOS 4 has previously been rumored to bring a major shift, with earlier reports claiming a self-developed architecture under the hood.
Now, a few more details are starting to surface, courtesy of Weibo tipster Smart Pikachu. According to the leak, Xiaomi is reworking the core user interface for HyperOS 4. Its specifics are still scarce, but the tipster claims the system UI has undergone “significant changes.”
Xiaomi HyperOS with a Leica color palette
One of the more interesting claims is that Xiaomi is reportedly working on a dedicated Leica color palette for the OS.
Xiaomi’s partnership with Leica has mostly been visible in the camera app so far, especially in color science and filters. Bringing that aesthetic into the operating system could mean that Xiaomi wants the software to reflect the same “premium” tone as its camera hardware.
Moreover, Xiaomi also confirmed in January its aim to achieve “grand convergence” in 2026 with a self-developed chip, operating system, and large AI models on a single device.
If all of this pans out, HyperOS 4 might not be about flashy new features as much as it is about refinement. A redesigned interface paired with a more cohesive visual language could make the experience feel more unified across Xiaomi, Redmi, and Poco devices.
Of course, it’s still early days. Xiaomi hasn’t confirmed any of these details, and the company is known for iterating quickly, which means features seen in leaks don’t always make it to the final release in the same form. So, as always, take it with a grain of salt.

Oppo is getting ready to launch a compact tablet called the Oppo Pad Mini, aimed at users who want a better gaming and media experience than what a smartphone offers. The company has confirmed a global launch on April 21, where it will debut alongside the Find X9 Ultra. Pricing has not been announced yet.
From what has been shared through teasers and leaks, the Pad Mini will feature an 8.8-inch OLED display with a 3:2 aspect ratio and a 144Hz refresh rate. The tablet is expected to be very thin at 5.39mm and weigh around 279 grams, making it noticeably slimmer and lighter than devices like Lenovo’s Legion Tab Gen 5.
It is also expected to run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip. While this processor is said to be about 30 percent slower than the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 used in Lenovo’s tablet, it should still deliver strong performance for gaming and everyday tasks.
Other details point to an 8000mAh battery with support for 67W fast charging. The front is expected to have a punch-hole camera and thin bezels around the display.
Earlier leaks had already filled in more of the picture. The display is said to have a 2880×1920 resolution, with LTPO tech that can scale the refresh rate from 1Hz to 144Hz. Peak brightness is tipped at 1800 nits, along with full DCI-P3 color support.
The tablet is also expected to use a unibody metal design and come in dark gray, purple, and cyan. On the back, it may include a 13MP camera in a capsule-style module. There is also mention of eSIM support, which could allow it to work without relying only on Wi-Fi.
Xiaomi has confirmed that the REDMI K90 Max will launch on April 21 at 7:00 PM. The phone is being introduced as a gaming-focused flagship, clearly targeting users who want top-level performance for competitive mobile gaming. From the announcement itself, Xiaomi is highlighting speed, responsiveness, and long gaming sessions as the main focus areas.
E-Sports Touchscreen Technology
The biggest highlight of the REDMI K90 Max is its new e-sports touchscreen. It supports a 480Hz multi-finger touch reporting rate and an extremely high 3500Hz instantaneous touch sampling rate. In simple terms, this means the screen reacts almost instantly to your touch, which is very important in fast games like shooters. It also includes a 400Hz six-axis gyroscope for better motion control. Xiaomi says the display has been tested for up to 1 million continuous touches, showing strong durability along with performance.
Display and Gaming Experience
The phone features a large 6.83-inch display with a 165Hz refresh rate and up to 3500 nits peak brightness. It can run games at native 165FPS while maintaining HD graphics quality at the same time. This is still rare in smartphones and gives smoother and clearer gameplay. Xiaomi has even confirmed support for this in games like Delta Force.
Cooling and Durability
To handle long gaming sessions, the REDMI K90 Max comes with a built-in cooling fan, a first for Xiaomi phones. It uses a sealed air duct and metal structure to keep temperatures under control. The device is also highly durable with IP66, IP68, and IP69 ratings, along with a 50,000-hour aging test. The cooling fan is designed to last long, with a 6-year warranty and lifetime maintenance support.
Comparison with Other Gaming Phones
Compared to other phones in this segment, most gaming devices offer high touch sampling rates but usually in the range of 720Hz to 2000Hz. Very few combine such a high instantaneous sampling rate with advanced gyroscope performance. While brands like ASUS ROG and iQOO focus on triggers and high refresh displays, the REDMI K90 Max focuses more on touch accuracy and responsiveness. This could give it an edge for competitive gamers who rely on fast and precise inputs.
DJI looks to be testing another compact drone, based on a short clip that’s started circulating online. It shows a small model with built-in propeller guards, which usually points toward either a beginner-friendly design or something aimed at FPV-style flying.
DJI recently introduced the Avata 360, which brings 360-degree capture into the FPV space. That model is still in the early stages of rollout, so seeing another device already being tested suggests the company is working on multiple things at once.
From what’s visible in the footage, the drone sits somewhere between the Avata 2 and the Neo in terms of design. It has a compact body, enclosed propellers, and what looks like a single camera setup. Nothing too surprising there, but the guarded design does stand out, especially for indoor or close-range flying.
As for what it actually is, that part isn’t clear yet. Some think it could be an early Avata 3, given the similarity to DJI’s FPV lineup. Others are leaning toward a Neo 3, which would make sense if DJI is updating its more entry-level models. Right now, it’s mostly guesswork.
The footage itself isn’t very detailed, which is pretty typical for early testing leaks. Still, it does confirm that DJI has something new in development, even if it’s still at a fairly early stage.
If past releases are anything to go by, this probably won’t turn into a launch anytime soon. DJI tends to test its drones in public for a while before making anything official.
For now, it’s just a brief look at what could be coming next: either a follow-up to the Avata series or a refreshed Neo model with a similar approach to safety and usability.
Infinix has launched the Note 60 Pro in India, marking it Infinix’s first smartphone powered by a Snapdragon chipset.

Xiaomi may already be developing HyperOS 4, as leaks have begun surfacing online, revealing key elements. A fresh leak suggests that HyperOS 4 won’t be just another upgrade, but a major one with significant visual changes and premium Leica color palette integration.
The latest information comes from a Chinese tipster, Smart Pikachu, via a Chinese microblogging site Weibo. He claims that the upcoming HyperOS 4 will feature significant changes to the core user interface. While the leak doesn’t go into detail, it suggests the company might be switching from its familiar design language to a highly modernized, cohesive look for its next-generation OS.
The leakster also claims Xiaomi is developing a Leica color palette to integrate into the upcoming major HyperOS release. Again, no specific details were provided, but it likely points to a premium, high-contrast aesthetic for the system UI, which was previously reserved for the camera application.
While we are yet to see these changes in action, they sound exciting. Xiaomi’s software team appears to be working hard in the background to ensure HyperOS 4 feels more premium and feature-rich. According to Ximitime’s industry sources, changes in HyperOS 4 go much deeper than just a superficial visual refresh.
Xiaomi may also be working on a deeper, bigger change that most people wouldn’t even notice. According to past leaks, the company is removing remnants of the legacy MIUI framework. The core system applications for HyperOS 4 will reportedly be rewritten using the RUST programming language, offering better system fluidity and security.
While Xiaomi hasn’t officially revealed anything about HyperOS 4, reports say it could debut alongside the upcoming Xiaomi 18 series in Q3 2026, with beta testing beginning in August.
We’ll keep tracking the latest HyperOS developments and post the same in the Xiaomi section on this website. Remember to visit it every few days to get fresh details. Or, you can join our Telegram channel to get instant notifications when we publish new stories.
Vivo launched the X Fold 5 back in June last year, and early details of the X Fold 6 have already started showing up online. The successor is still some time away, but a new leak gives a rough idea of what the company might be planning.
The information comes from tipster Digital Chat Station, who mentions a possible 200MP main camera. If that ends up being accurate, it would likely be the same sensor used in the X300 and X300 Pro. That should help with detail in good lighting. The sensor is also slightly larger than the 50MP unit on the X Fold 5 (1/1.4″ vs 1/1.56″), so it could lead to a small change in the camera island design.
Battery is another area that could see a noticeable jump. The leak points to a rated 6,760mAh capacity, with a typical value closer to 7,000mAh. That’s a significant upgrade over the 6,000mAh unit of the X Fold 5.
There’s also mention of a 50MP periscope lens with telemacro support, which suggests close-up shooting could be part of the setup again. Vivo has used similar systems before, so this wouldn’t be entirely new, just carried forward and possibly refined.
Beyond that, details are still a bit vague. The leak references a new design language and some accessory support, but doesn’t go into specifics. On the performance side, the phone is expected to use a flagship Snapdragon chip, though it’s not clear which one yet. The X Fold 5 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and its successor is speculated to use the newly launched Snapdragon 8 Gen 5.
As with previous models, the X Fold 6 will likely launch in China first, with a wider rollout coming later.
For now, it looks like Vivo is focusing on the same areas again, but pushing them a bit further. Still early days though, so things could change by the time it’s official.
Honor is getting into the marathon business, but not in the way most phone makers would. Instead of sponsoring runners or building fitness features, the company itself is sending robots to the starting line.
According to Honor’s Global Chief Marketing Officer, two humanoid robots named “Lightning” and “Energetic Boy” will take part in the upcoming Beijing Yizhuang Marathon on April 19.
The “Lightning” is finished in red with glowing blue eye-like lights and a visible Honor logo. Meanwhile, “Energetic Boy” comes in silver with a blue lighting strip on the face. It looks more like a traditional humanoid robot, while the “Lighting” is something that we expect to see in movies.
According to Honor, “Lightning” combines its latest work in intelligent manufacturing with embodied AI. That includes motion-control algorithms designed for high-speed movement, along with real-time perception and decision-making systems that enable the robot to react to its surroundings without constant human input.
The marathon will stress-test these capabilities.
The two Honor robots will run on a 21km track
Organized by the Beijing Municipal People’s Government and China Media Group, the 21.0975-kilometer race runs from Tongming Lake to Nanhaizi Park, mixing city roads, racing circuits, and park terrain. It’s not a controlled lab environment, which is exactly the point.
Earlier this month, more than 70 teams — including four from outside China — took part in a full-scale overnight test organized by the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area. Below is a clip of Honor’s Lighting Robot during the practice.
The rehearsal covered everything from navigation to emergency response, which gave makers an idea of how complex it is to get humanoid robots to operate reliably over long distances.
The competition format also nudges teams toward autonomy. Robots can either operate autonomously or rely on remote control, but the rules make the latter less attractive by imposing time penalties and restrictions on human intervention.
Teams that manage to complete the race fully autonomously may even qualify for a Guinness World Records entry.

Redmi G27U 2026 Specifications
So far what we know, the Redmi G27U 2026 features a 27-inch Fast IPS display with a 4K resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels and a 16:9 aspect ratio. It comes with a dual-mode refresh rate, allowing users to switch between 4K at 160Hz or 1080p at 320Hz. The monitor also features 1ms GTG response time, which reduces the motion blur.

Xiaomi is known for putting its branding on almost everything, but its latest product launch at the 2026 Values Conference isn’t a smart home gadget or a flagship phone; it’s ice cream.
True to its tech roots, Xiaomi’s cafeteria is offering the new treat in three very familiar tiers: Standard, Pro, and Max. The Standard edition gets you the base ice cream for a highly competitive 5.99 yuan (about $0.88).
Stepping up to the Pro version for 6.99 yuan ($1.02) adds a single cookie to the mix. Finally, for power users with a sweet tooth, the Max version costs 8.99 yuan ($1.32) and maxes out the specs with three cookies.
Chef Bing Jiabao from Xiaomi’s cafeteria developed the ice cream recipe. Xiaomi says Bing drew inspiration from tofu ice cream and created the product by experimenting with millet, a key ingredient in Xiaomi’s branding.
After three iterations, Bing perfected the process. The method starts with steaming millet, transforms it into a paste blended with milk, and finishes with millet grain toppings. Xiaomi says the recipe solves the challenge of giving millet a stronger flavor.
Photos showed the ice cream machine used in the cafeteria with branding from Mengniu, a well-known Chinese dairy company, suggesting a collaborative effort. Xiaomi has operated its cafeteria in-house since 2015, with all chefs and staff serving as direct employees who receive standard company benefits.
The launch of Xiaomi Ice Cream immediately trended on social media. Some online commenters joked about the absence of an Ultra version or suggested adding a Youth Edition. Xiaomi confirmed that the ice cream sold out quickly after its launch.

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.
What’s even more interesting is that some Android manufacturers have reportedly already started experimenting with similar tones. Copycat cycle, meet déjà vu.
What can you expect from the iPhone 18 Pro?
The iPhone 18 Pro is also rumored to feature a higher screen-to-body ratio. Leaks claim Apple is working to shrink the front cutout area, reducing its width from 20.76mm to 13.49mm. That’s roughly a 35 percent drop.
The result should be a slightly more immersive display, though it’s the kind of change you’ll likely notice more on a spec sheet than in day-to-day use.
On the performance side, the iPhone 18 Pro series is expected to debut Apple’s A20 Pro chip. It will be among the first set of smartphone processors to be built on TSMC’s 2nm process.
This year, Apple is also expected to launch iPhone Ultra, Apple’s first foldable, alongside the iPhone 18 series.
However, there’s still some time before Apple officially announces the upcoming phones, but more details are likely to surface through unofficial channels as we get closer to launch.

The Oppo F33 series is confirmed to arrive with IP69K certification, which goes beyond the typical IP67 or IP68 ratings seen in this segment. According to the brand, this level of protection ensures complete resistance against dust and also allows the device to withstand high-pressure and high-temperature water exposure. It means the phone can handle challenging conditions such as heavy rain, wet hands, or dusty outdoor environments with more confidence.
The device is said to undergo rigorous testing conditions that simulate extreme heat, cold, humidity, and environmental stress. It has reportedly been tested for high-temperature operation, freezing conditions, and prolonged exposure to salt and moisture. Drop resistance has also been validated through repeated impact testing, aiming to reduce the risk of everyday damage.

Internally, cushioning materials are placed strategically to absorb shock and protect key components such as the camera and battery. The back panel is also designed to be thicker than standard builds, improving overall strength.
The F33 series will house a 7,000mAh battery designed to retain up to 80 percent of its capacity even after extended usage over several years. The device will support fast charging along with features like reverse charging and bypass charging, offering flexibility for different usage scenarios. Combined with improved thermal handling, the focus appears to be on maintaining stable performance during long sessions.
