Google has announced Nano Banana 2, its latest image generation model under the Gemini family. The update blends advanced creative capabilities with faster processing speeds, aiming to make high-quality visual generation more widely accessible across Google products.

Pro-level intelligence at Flash speed

Nano Banana 2, officially called Gemini 3.1 Flash Image, combines the deeper reasoning abilities of the earlier Pro variant with the responsiveness of Gemini Flash. According to Google, the model draws on real-world knowledge and can reference up-to-date web information to better render specific subjects. This allows users to create detailed infographics, structured diagrams and data-driven visuals with improved contextual accuracy.

Text handling has also been refined. The model can generate clearer, legible text within images, making it suitable for marketing mock-ups and social content. It can also adapt text into different languages directly inside visuals. Google says the gap between speed and image quality has been significantly reduced, resulting in sharper details, improved lighting and richer textures without slowing down generation time.

Nano Banana 2 is being rolled out across the Gemini app, Google Search AI Mode, Lens, AI Studio and the Gemini API in Vertex AI. It is also becoming the default image model in Flow and is integrated into Google Ads for campaign asset suggestions. Subscribers to Google AI Pro and Ultra plans will still be able to access Nano Banana Pro for specialised, high-fidelity tasks.

Google is also strengthening content verification. The company continues to embed SynthID watermarks in AI-generated media and plans to expand C2PA Content Credentials support within the Gemini app. Since its introduction, SynthID verification tools have reportedly been used over 20 million times, reflecting growing interest in identifying AI-generated content.

With Nano Banana 2, Google appears to be focusing on faster output without compromising creative precision, positioning it as a flexible option for everyday creators and professionals alike.

Recent discussions on Chinese social media had raised doubts about the future of the Meizu 23 and the broader smartphone division. Speculation around restructuring within Xingji (Starji) Meizu gathered pace earlier this week. Now, an official statement released on February 27 offers clarity on the company’s direction and addresses the circulating claims.

Meizu responds to shutdown speculation

In its formal announcement, Meizu denied reports suggesting bankruptcy, complete business suspension, or brand exit. The company stated that such claims are inaccurate and that it reserves the right to pursue legal responsibility against those spreading misinformation. It emphasised that while changes are underway, the brand itself is not shutting down.

However, Meizu confirmed a significant strategic shift. The company will temporarily pause new domestic smartphone product development. This move is described as a planned transition rather than a closure. Existing operations, including after-sales services and support for current users, will continue without disruption. Products such as Meizu phones, Flyme systems, and Pandaer accessories will remain available, and customer rights will not be affected.

Shift towards Flyme and AI ecosystem

The statement highlights that Meizu is repositioning itself around Flyme and AI-driven ecosystems. The company intends to focus on open collaboration under a Powered by Flyme model, expanding into broader industries rather than limiting itself to handset launches. Flyme Auto has already crossed 2.26 million vehicle installations and aims to reach 3 million this year, reflecting strong traction in the automotive space.

Meizu also noted that overseas smartphone operations, AI glasses, and Pandaer technology products will continue with market-oriented development. The pause in domestic handset launches is presented as a resource reallocation decision aimed at strengthening its software and ecosystem capabilities.

While uncertainty remains around the Meizu 23, the official message makes it clear that the brand is not disappearing. Instead, it is entering a new phase centred on Flyme, AI integration, and cross-industry partnerships.

For the past few years, Vivo has launched its Ultra-branded flagship around a month after Oppo’s Ultra offering in China. However, this year may be different, as reliable tipster Digital Chat Station claims that the Vivo X300 Ultra will debut before the Oppo Find X9 Ultra. Here’s a look at when these devices are expected to hit the Chinese market.

He claims that this Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5-powered phone will feature the world’s first 200-megapixel Sony LYT-901 primary camera. It is also said to include a 3.5x periscope telephoto lens using a 200-megapixel Samsung HPB sensor, along with what is described as the strongest ultra-wide camera in the smartphone industry.

According to previous reports, this ultra-wide camera will be powered by the 50-megapixel Sony LYT-828 sensor. The setup is also expected to feature a 5-megapixel multispectral lens. The X300 Ultra is also expected to debut as the world’s first flagship phone equipped with dual 200-megapixel cameras.

Oppo Find N6 and Find X9 Ultra launch timeframe (rumored)

DCS claims that March will also see the arrival of the Oppo Find N6 foldable phone. A recent report revealed that it is slated to debut on March 17. He also mentioned that the Find X9 Ultra will be announced in April.

While it is not mentioned in the leak, there is a possibility that the X300 Ultra could be accompanied by the Vivo X300 Max, and the Find X9 Ultra and Find X9s Pro may debut together in April.

Interestingly, both Ultra editions are also said to be heading to the global market in the coming months. While the X9 Ultra has not yet appeared on any global certification platform, the X300 Ultra has already been approved in Indonesia and Europe, possibly hinting at a global launch in the second quarter of this year.

The Redmi K90 series currently includes the Redmi K90 and K90 Pro Max. In April, the company is expected to unveil the Dimensity 9500-powered Redmi K90 Ultra. A new leak from tipster Digital Chat Station indicates that another K90 series phone may also be in development. Although the official name of the device remains unknown, the leak highlights several key specifications of this upcoming model.

Redmi K90 Pro key details tipped

According to the tipster, the new Redmi phone will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. The presence of this chipset suggests that the device could belong to the K90 lineup. The leak further mentions that the handset will feature a high refresh rate display, a large battery with around 8,000mAh capacity, and a built-in cooling fan aimed at enhancing sustained performance.

In addition, the device is said to include an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor, symmetrical dual speakers, and a fully water-resistant body, pointing toward a flagship-grade build and feature set.

Currently, the Redmi K90 and K90 Pro Max are powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipsets, respectively. This positioning indicates that the newly tipped Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered model could sit between the K90 and K90 Pro Max in the lineup. As a result, it is speculated that the device may launch in China under the Redmi K90 Pro branding.

This is not the first time rumors have suggested the existence of the Redmi K90 Pro. Back in November 2025, tipster Smart Pikachu claimed that Redmi was working on two additional K90 series models, namely the Redmi K90 Pro and Redmi K90 Ultra. That leak suggested the K90 Pro would feature a 6.6-inch display, while the Ultra variant could come with a larger 6.8-inch screen. Both devices are expected to debut together in China.

Fresh details about the Casio G-Shock GM-H5600 have surfaced online. The Great G-Shock World blog reports that the upcoming model could arrive as early as March. Earlier certifications had already confirmed its existence, setting the stage for its anticipated debut. Here’s a look at what to expect from this Casio watch.

Casio G-Shock GM-H5600‘s leaked details, launch timeframe

The GM-H5600 is believed to build upon the design language of classic square G-Shock watches while introducing modern fitness tracking capabilities. Reports indicate that the device will feature an optical heart rate monitor along with motion sensors capable of tracking steps and workout activities.

The design is expected to draw inspiration from both the DW-H5600 fitness-focused series and the metal-cased GM-5600 lineup, blending durability with a more premium aesthetic suitable for everyday wear, including business environments.

One of the key highlights could be the inclusion of a memory-in-pixel LCD screen. This display technology is known for improved readability and higher contrast compared to traditional panels, which should enhance visibility in various lighting conditions. Whether the display will use a positive or negative colour scheme remains unclear at this stage.

Recent reports suggest that Casio may unveil the GM-H5600 in March 2026, earlier than some previous estimates that pointed towards a broader 2026 release window. The watch is expected to debut first in Japan before expanding to other markets over time. Rumours also indicate that two colour variants could be available at launch, including silver and gold finishes, reinforcing its premium positioning within the G-Shock lineup.

While detailed specifications and official pricing have yet to be confirmed, the device is widely expected to target users looking for a rugged digital watch with added health monitoring features. More concrete details are likely to emerge closer to the official announcement as Casio finalizes launch plans.
