Xiaomi has started teasing its new laptop for launch in China, called the Xiaomi Book Pro 14. It’s the first Xiaomi-branded laptop in three years since the launch of the Xiaomi Book 14 in 2023.

According to teaser images shared by the company, the laptop will arrive in three colors: Soft Fog Blue, White, and Elegant Gray. As you can see, the laptop has a flush and slim metallic look.

The Book Pro 14 uses a unibody die-cast magnesium alloy body paired with a high-strength carbon fiber bottom shell. Xiaomi also says the keyboard support plate has been upgraded to a lighter titanium alloy structure. All of this contributes to a surprisingly low weight of just 1.08kg.

As for performance, Xiaomi confirmed that the laptop will feature the latest Intel Core Ultra X7 358H processor. To keep that chip running efficiently, the company says it has added a large 10,000mm² vapor chamber cooling module along with a high-speed silent fan and a three-dimensional airflow system. Xiaomi claims this setup allows the laptop to sustain up to 50W of performance.

What else can you expect?

Fortunately, a previous report tipped a few more details about the device. The Xiaomi Book Pro 14 will come with a 14-inch display and weigh roughly around one kilogram. It will reportedly also be offered with the slightly more modest Intel Core Ultra 5 325 processor alongside the Core Ultra X7 chip.

The Ultra 5 325 is built on Intel’s 18A process and includes an 8-core layout in a 4P + 4LPE configuration. It runs with 8 threads and can reach boost speeds of up to 4.5GHz.

Meanwhile, the Ultra X7 358H has a 16-core structure arranged in a 4 + 8 + 4 configuration. That chip can reach speeds of up to 4.8GHz, comes with 18MB of L3 cache, and integrates Intel’s Radiant B390 graphics.

Memory options could include a configuration with 24GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, and another with 32GB of RAM paired with the same 1TB SSD.

Honor just took the wraps off the new Magic V6 foldable. Next up, the company may be preparing something very different, a gaming laptop.

According to a post from Chinese tech tipster Digital Chat Station, the gaming machine is powered by an Intel Core i7-14650HX processor and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 GPU.

The leaker claims to have briefly tested the laptop and says that the system was running its cooling fans at full capacity during use. While that detail doesn’t reveal much about sustained performance yet, it does suggest that the hardware inside is designed for heavier workloads.

According to the post, the prototype configuration includes 16GB of DDR5 RAM and storage options of either 512GB or 1TB SSD. 

Honor WIN 2 is also incoming!

Interestingly, the blogger also suggested a possible name for the device: “WIN Gaming Laptop.” The name appears to connect the laptop with Honor’s “WIN” lineup of smartphones; however, it is certainly not the marketing name.

The leak also mentions a new smartphone. The next-generation Honor WIN 2 smartphone is reportedly already in mold testing, which usually happens during the early hardware development stage. The leaker claims both the core configuration and peripheral components are currently being finalized.

None of this has been officially confirmed by Honor yet, but the company has previously hinted that a gaming laptop is on the way. Back in December, Zhu Chencai, general manager of PC products at Honor Terminal Co., Ltd., said on social media that a new gaming laptop was nearing release.

Later that same month, during a product launch event, Honor reiterated that the device would arrive sometime this year. The company also said the laptop would serve as the designated machine for the Delta Force Professional League.

For now, most of the details remain unofficial. But we’ll keep you in the loop if more information surfaces.

Honor Magic V6 has officially launched today in China. The new foldable arrives with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, a large 7,150mAh battery, and a design that Honor says is durable and thin.

The phone starts at 8,999 yuan (about $1,250) for the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage model. A 12GB + 512GB version costs 9,999 yuan (around $1,390), while the 16GB + 512GB model is priced at 10,999 yuan (about $1,530). 

The top-tier configuration with 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage goes up to 11,999 yuan (roughly $1,670). It’s available in four colors: Red Rabbit Red, Sunrise Gold, Snow White, and Velvet Black.

Honor Magic V6 Specifications

One of the main talking points is what Honor calls its “black diamond screen.” According to the company, the external display is coated with 5,600 layers of silicon nitride designed to improve wear resistance by three times compared to previous designs. The foldable display also includes a low-reflection coating with reflectivity rated at just 1.5 percent.

Honor demonstrated the screen’s durability during the launch event by pressing a power drill against it, claiming the display remained intact. The company says the phone can be used without a protective case and should maintain reliability for up to 36 months.

The inner foldable screen also introduces what Honor says is a “seamless crease” design. According to the brand, it reduces the visible fold, or crease, by 44 percent compared to the previous generation. The display structure includes an anti-reflective protective layer, an impact-resistant UTG glass layer, and a carbon fiber support layer. Honor claims this setup improves impact resistance by about 33 percent and has received eye-protection certification from TÜV Rheinland.

The inner display can reach up to 5,000 nits peak brightness, while the outer screen can hit 6,000 nits. Both support 4,320Hz PWM dimming and stylus input. 

The foldable is also thin

In terms of design, the Magic V6 weighs about 219 grams and measures roughly 8.75mm thick when folded and 4.0mm when unfolded. Its among the lightest and thinnest foldable phones so far. The device features a 3D textured back panel and an aerospace-grade aluminum frame.

The Magic V6 also carries both IP68 and IP69 ratings and is rated to survive water depths of up to four meters.

Despite being slim, the foldable packs a 7,150mAh Silicon-Carbon battery with silicon content exceeding 32 percent. The battery has an energy density of 985Wh/L, which Honor claims is a record for foldable devices. Honor also offers a second model with a 6,850mAh battery and slightly lower silicon content.

On the camera side, the Magic V6 includes a 64-megapixel telephoto camera using a 1/2-inch sensor and supports CIPA 6.5 level stabilization. Honor has also integrated its AiMAGE color engine and AI-assisted photography features like intelligent composition and dual-screen shooting previews.

Honor is also introducing what it calls an “AI Intelligence Officer,” which can proactively push news or scheduled content. The Magic V6 supports AI translation across 14 languages, real-time screen translation, and a range of gaming optimizations, including 120FPS support.

Connectivity is another area Honor highlights. The device supports 25 5G bands across more than 200 regions and is the first phone to support BeiDou satellite SMS services across China’s three major carriers.

Interestingly, the Magic V6 also has several features designed to work with Apple devices. Users can access iCloud Photo Library, extend their Mac display wirelessly, transfer files to a Mac with one tap, and connect with AirPods or Apple Watch features.

Oppo is said to be working on three smartphones for the Find X10 series: the Find X10, Find X10 Pro, and Find X10 Pro Max. A new leak has now revealed the screen sizes of these devices.

According to information shared by tipster Digital Chat Station, the Oppo Find X10 could feature a 6.59-inch mid-sized display with a 1.5K resolution. Meanwhile, the Find X10 Pro is said to come with a slightly larger 6.78-inch screen, also with a 1.5K resolution.

As for the Oppo Find X10 Pro Max, the tipster says the display for this “ultra-sized” model is still undecided internally. Oppo may be considering multiple options before finalizing the design. One possibility under discussion, however, is using the same high-end display Oppo is currently using in the Find X9 Ultra.

Dimensity 9600 all-around?

The leak also claims that all three phones could run on MediaTek’s upcoming MediaTek Dimensity 9600 chipset. That said, this contradicts an earlier report from the same tipster.

It suggests the base Find X10 might use the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 instead, while the Find X10 Pro and Pro Max would feature the Dimensity 9600. As with most early leaks, it’s best to take these details with a pinch of salt.

Moreover, in the comments, the tipster suggests it will be difficult for the brand to upgrade upcoming flagships to LPDDR6 and UFS 5.0. That’s because this combo is “comparable in price to a chip”. The Find X9 series, in comparison, includes LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage.

Apart from this, a few previous leaks have revealed some other specs for these phones. For instance, the Oppo Find X10 Pro Max is rumored to come with three 200MP cameras on the back. 

For now, though, most of these details remain unconfirmed.
