After weeks of chatter, DJI has finally introduced its latest pocket-sized gimbal camera, the Osmo Pocket 4. The new model builds on the familiar formula of DJI’s long-running handheld gimbal series, but it comes with a larger sensor and a set of upgrades for creators.

DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Specifications

At the center of the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 is a newly upgraded one-inch CMOS sensor paired with an f/2.0 aperture. This combination brings a claimed dynamic range of up to 14 stops, which should help preserve more detail in both highlights and shadows.

It also supports a 10-bit D-Log color mode, offering greater flexibility in post-production.

The camera now supports 4K slow-motion recording at up to 240fps. On the audio side, DJI is adding spatial audio recording along with zoom audio pickup. There’s also support for OsmoAudio direct connection to DJI microphone transmitters, enabling up to four-channel audio recording. This makes the gimbal camera more practical for interviews or multi-source recording setups.

As for tracking, the Osmo Pocket 4 introduces Intelligent Follow 7.0, which supports subject tracking at up to 4x zoom. DJI has also added “Lock Subject Tracking” and “Priority Subject Registration” for a more stable and predictable tracking experience.

Gesture controls are part of the update as well, allowing users to start or stop tracking and recording without touching the screen.

For users focused on portrait shooting, DJI says it has calibrated the camera for more natural skin tones across different lighting conditions. There’s also a built-in beauty filter with adjustable smoothing, whitening, and tone settings.

It also supports an external fill light for adjustable brightness and color temperature in a compact form.

DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Pricing and Availability

The DJI Osmo Pocket 4 is now open for pre-orders, with deliveries scheduled to begin on April 22. DJI is offering the camera in three different bundles.

The base option keeps things simple, while the higher tiers gradually turn the Pocket 4 into something closer to a full creator kit.

DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Bundle	What’s included	Price
Essential Combo	Pocket 4 camera, USB-C cable, handle with 1/4-inch thread, carrying pouch	£429 / from €479
Standard Combo	Everything in Essential + gimbal clamp, wrist strap, and extra accessories	£445 / from €499
Creator Combo	Everything in Standard + wide-angle lens (from Osmo Pocket 3), DJI Mic 3 transmitter (with magnetic clip and windscreens), fill light, mini tripod, carrying bag	£549 / from €619

After launching the Nord CE 4 Lite in 2024, OnePlus is jumping directly to the Nord CE 6 Lite this year. The device has been the subject of a few rumors in the past, some revealing its design and others its possible specifications.

In that regard, a Geekbench listing has now revealed the chipset of the OnePlus Nord CE 6 Lite. The smartphone appeared in the benchmark under the model number CPH2943 and is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chip.

The latter is confirmed by the core setup, consisting of four CPU cores running at 2.60GHz and four at 2.0GHz. Graphics are handled by the Mali-G615 MC2 GPU. Similarly, the device tested features 8GB of RAM and runs Android 16 out of the box.

With this setup, the OnePlus Nord CE 6 Lite managed to score 1,068 points in single-core and 2,953 points in multi-core tests.

OnePlus Nord CE 6 Lite: Rumored Specifications

As for other hardware specifications, the Nord CE 6 Lite is expected to feature a 6.7-inch LCD panel with support for a 120Hz refresh rate. That’s a noticeable downgrade from the Nord CE 4 Lite, which offered an AMOLED panel with a peak brightness of 2,100 nits.

The camera setup could be fairly simple as well. It is said to feature a 50MP main sensor paired with a secondary lens on the back, along with a 16MP front camera.

Keeping it up will be a large 7,000mAh battery. Its predecessor pairs a 5,110mAh cell with 80W fast charging. So, hopefully, the Nord CE 6 Lite will support similar charging speeds for quick top-ups.

Moreover, the 6GB + 128GB variant is said to cost under ₹23,000. However, these are just leaks, so take the details with a pinch of salt.

The OnePlus Nord CE 6 Lite is expected to launch alongside the OnePlus Nord CE 6 in India next month.

Huawei has unveiled a new smart home accessory in China called the Huawei Smart Lock M2. The lock officially went on sale today at 799 yuan (~$117), but a government subsidy brings the price down to 679.15 yuan, or around $100. And it’s a bargain for that price.

Huawei Smart Lock M2 Specifications 

The Huawei Smart Lock M2 relies on AI-based features, particularly for its fingerprint unlocking system. The company says the lock uses an adaptive AI fingerprint sensor that improves with each use, gradually refining recognition accuracy over time.

It unlocks in about 0.5 seconds, and Huawei claims a very low false recognition rate of less than 0.00001.

Beyond fingerprint access, the M2 supports a wide range of unlocking methods. Users can rely on NFC cards, physical keys, digital passwords, visitor or temporary passwords, and even Huawei smartphones and smartwatches. 

From a design standpoint, the device features a slim profile with a 0.5 mm “golden depth” and rounded edges. Both the inner and outer panels share the same dimensions, measuring 365 x 76.5 x 23 mm, and the entire unit weighs around 4.2 kg.

Powering the lock are four AA batteries, which Huawei says can last up to 18 months. There’s also a Type-C port for emergency power if the batteries run out, along with tiered battery reminders to avoid sudden shutdowns.

The M2 includes an EAL5+ certified security chip for handling sensitive data locally, along with an additional chip that independently verifies access permissions. It also uses a Class C direct-insertion lock cylinder so that the mechanical lock remains functional even if the outer panel is damaged.

Huawei is also offering a four-year warranty with the device. 

For the time being, there’s no word on availability in the international market.

A new set of renders, said to show the upcoming Xiaomi 18 Pro, has surfaced on the web, although the phone is months away from launch. 

From the renders, the Xiaomi 18 Pro retains the wide camera plateau on the back with a triple-camera setup along with a secondary rear display. To note, the render currently shows the interior of the phone, and not a finished look. 

The more notable addition this generation could be a new physical AI button on the side of the device. According to the leak, this button is designed for quick access to AI-powered features, with support for one-press activation in different contexts. It’s also expected to integrate with Xiaomi’s broader ecosystem, including smart home controls and even compatible electric vehicles.

That ecosystem angle is not new for Xiaomi, but a dedicated hardware shortcut could make those connections more immediate. The report suggests the button will be customizable, allowing users to assign different AI-driven actions depending on their needs. 

The rear display is here to stay

These renders are still early, and there’s no guarantee the final product will look exactly like this. That said, they line up with previous reports that Xiaomi plans to keep investing in the rear display concept. 

Lu Weibing, president of Xiaomi Group, has previously said the company wants to evolve the rear screen from a decorative element into something more functional.

On the current model, the rear display already supports features like translation during conversations, a teleprompter mode for video, and even simple interactive widgets. The expectation is that the Xiaomi 18 Pro will possibly turn the rear screen into a more independent interface rather than just an extension of the main display.

On the front, the phone is rumored to feature a relatively compact flat display with a 1.5K resolution. Internally, the Xiaomi 18 Pro is expected to debut with Qualcomm’s next-generation flagship chip, likely the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro, built on a 2-nanometer process by TSMC.

Oppo is not done with the Find X9 series yet, but rumors about its successor are already making headlines. The Find X10 lineup is expected to include three models so far: the Find X10, Find X10 Pro, and Find X10 Pro Max.

A new leak from Digital Chat Station on Weibo now claims that the vanilla model will feature a 6.59-inch display. It’s said to be a 1.5K flat OLED panel.

A previous report suggested that the Find X10 series could debut with a dual 200MP camera setup. The new leak backs that up, adding that even the base model may include dual 200MP rear cameras.

Among them, one is expected to serve as the main sensor, while the other could be a 200MP periscope telephoto camera, both reportedly using large 1/1.3-inch sensors.

The leak also sheds light on the battery. The Oppo Find X10 is now tipped to pack an 8,000mAh cell, nearly 1,000mAh larger than its predecessor. For comparison, the Find X9 features a 7,025mAh battery with 80W wired and 50W wireless charging support.

What else can you expect?

Beyond that, the standard Find X10 is said to be in testing with the Dimensity 9500 Plus, which is reportedly built on a 3nm process. Meanwhile, the Pro and Pro Max models are expected to step up to a more advanced 2nm Dimensity 9600-series chipset.

Moreover, a previous report reveals that upgrading the line to LPDDR6 RAM and UFS 5.0 storage could be challenging. That’s because the combination is said to be “comparable in price to a chip.” By comparison, the Find X9 series uses LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage.

Last October, Oppo unveiled the Find X9 lineup, and the company may follow a similar timeline this year by introducing the Find X10 series in October.

Huawei is bringing back one of its more unusual ideas. The company has confirmed that its next wearable, the Huawei Watch Buds 2, will be officially unveiled on April 20 at its Pura series launch event.

As the name implies, this is the second iteration of the product. The original Watch Buds launched in late 2022, combining a smartwatch with a pair of tiny wireless earbuds hidden inside the watch case. Now three years later, Huawei is giving it another shot.

The core idea hasn’t changed. The Watch Buds 2 still follows a “2-in-1” design, where the watch opens up to reveal a pair of earbuds tucked inside. A small push-button will likely release the top frame to access the buds. 

Huawei Watch Buds 2 still have those legless earbuds

We can see the watch in a brown leather strap with visible stitching and a metallic frame all around. The buds retain the octagonal, cylindrical, or bullet-shaped design from the predecessor. These compact, legless earbuds are designed to be interchangeable, meaning there is no specific left or right side. 

The previous model also used a highly integrated internal design to make everything fit. The earbuds were extremely small and support AI noise cancellation for calls. The watch itself also doubled as a fitness tracker, offering more than 80 sports modes and up to 30 hours of battery life. We expect the successor to build on these features.

Pricing and full specifications for the Watch Buds 2 are still unknown. The original launched at 2,988 yuan, so it’ll be interesting to see whether Huawei keeps it in the same range or pushes it further into premium territory.

We will know the full details on April 20. Stay Tuned.

OnePlus is gearing up to launch a new high-speed charging accessory in China. An official product page has gone live for the OnePlus 120W SuperVOOC Power Bank, and if it looks familiar, that’s because it is.

The device appears to be a straight rebrand of Oppo’s recently announced 120W SuperVOOC power bank.

Oppo has already opened pre-orders for its version. The power bank comes with a 15,000mAh battery and supports up to 120W output, allowing compatible Oppo and OnePlus phones to charge at their maximum supported speeds.

OnePlus hasn’t officially listed the full specifications of its version yet, but given the direct rebranding, the core hardware is unlikely to change. The main difference, at least for now, seems to be cosmetic. OnePlus is introducing the product in an “Accelerated Red” finish, whereas Oppo offers it in Star Orange and Space Black.

What can you expect?

What makes this power bank slightly more interesting isn’t just the charging speed, but also the timing. Oppo says its model complies with China’s upcoming power bank safety regulations, which are set to become mandatory in April 2027. These rules are designed to address concerns around overheating, battery degradation, and potential safety hazards in high-capacity portable chargers.

To meet these requirements, the power bank has reportedly undergone a range of durability and safety tests. These include puncture resistance, compression testing, high-temperature endurance, and long-term aging simulations.

The device is also expected to include Oppo’s “Ice Shield” battery technology. This system focuses on improving safety while also giving users more visibility into battery health.

Users may also be able to check the power bank’s condition over time. There’s also mention of traceability features, so manufacturing details can be accessed if needed.

Alongside the power bank, Oppo has introduced a compact dual-port 120W GaN charger. Interestingly, there is also a OnePlus version of this GaN charger.

Oppo just refreshed its F-series in India with the new Oppo F33 and Oppo F33 Pro. The two phones share most of their specifications, with differences mainly in areas like the camera and design.

The standard F33 has a rectangular camera module on the back that doesn’t look much different from last year’s model.

The Pro model, however, introduces a larger camera plateau and a more noticeable visual identity, even if the influence from recent iPhone designs is hard to ignore.

The standard model is available in Pearl White and Forest Green, while the Oppo F33 Pro comes in Starry Blue, Passion Red, and Misty Forest. The latter features a forest-like pattern on the back and a layered 3D depth effect that creates a subtle shifting look under light.

Both phones carry multiple protection ratings, including MIL-STD-810H certification and IP66, IP68, and IP69 dust and water resistance ratings. The Pro model also supports IP69K.

Oppo F33 and F33 Pro Specifications

Both phones share the same core specifications. There’s a 6.57-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and peak brightness of 1,400 nits. Powering them is a MediaTek Dimensity 6360 Max chip built on a 6nm process, paired with up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.

The Pro model adds a vapor chamber cooling system, which helps with sustained performance.

Oppo is packing a 7,000mAh battery into both models, paired with 80W fast charging. Features like reverse wired charging and bypass charging are also included.

On the camera side, both devices use a 50MP primary sensor with a 2MP depth sensor. The difference appears on the front — the F33 has a 16MP selfie camera, while the Pro upgrades to a 50MP ultra-wide sensor that can automatically adjust framing when more people enter the shot.

The phones run Android 16 with ColorOS 16 on top.

Pricing and Availability

The Oppo F33 starts at Rs 31,999 for the base variant and goes up to Rs 40,999 for the F33 Pro. Both devices are now up for pre-order through Amazon, Flipkart, Oppo’s online store, and offline retail outlets, with typical launch offers like cashback, exchange bonuses, and EMI options included.

Model	Variant	Price (India)
Oppo F33	6GB + 128GB	Rs 31,999
	8GB + 128GB	Rs 34,999
	8GB + 256GB	Rs 37,999

The post Oppo launches F33 and F33 Pro with Dimensity 6360 Max, 7000mAh battery appeared first on Gizmochina.

Honor is one of the few brands offering smartphones with 10,000mAh batteries. The company already offers both mid-range and flagship models with these oversized cells, including the Honor Power 2 and the Honor Win series (Win and Win RT), respectively.

Now, the next milestone for Honor seems to be 11,000mAh.

A new leak from tipster Digital Chat Station claims the company has started trial production of a new battery with a rated capacity of 10,690mAh and a typical capacity of 11,000mAh.

The report does not name the phone, but it points to yet another Honor device built around a very large battery.

That would put the phone beyond Honor’s current official battery leader, the Power 2. The latter ships with a 10,080mAh battery, 80W wired charging, and 27W reverse wired charging.

Before that, Honor launched the original Power with an 8,000mAh battery and 66W charging. The growth over just one generation is quite significant.

Honor Power 2 Specifications

While details about this rumored 11,000mAh Honor device remain unknown, the Honor Power 2 offers a useful reference point.

It packs a 10,080mAh battery into a surprisingly slim 7.98mm chassis. Charging caps at 80W wired and 27W for reverse.

On the front, there’s a 6.79-inch OLED LTPS flat display with a 1.5K resolution (2600 x 1200 pixels). The panel is rated for up to 8,000 nits peak brightness and includes 3,840Hz PWM dimming for reduced eye strain.

Powering the device is the MediaTek Dimensity 8500 Elite chipset, paired with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage.

As for the cameras, it has a 50MP main sensor with OIS and a 5MP ultra-wide lens on the back, along with a 16MP front-facing camera. On the software side, it runs Android 16 with MagicOS 10 on top.

The Xiaomi 17 Max is making headlines again, this time for a regulatory filing in China. A new Xiaomi device with the model number 2605EPN8EC has passed China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology SRRC certification.

While the certification doesn’t confirm any specification except its connectivity (5G / WLAN / Bluetooth), it usually means that a launch isn’t too far away.

Based on earlier leaks, this device is widely believed to be the Xiaomi 17 Max, though some sources have referred to it as the Xiaomi 17S Pro. Either way, it’s a large-screen option in the company’s 17 series lineup. 

The model number also hints at Xiaomi’s internal timeline. It suggests a release window around April or May, which lines up with previous reports of a May debut in China.

What to expect?

According to previous reports, the Xiaomi 17 Max could feature a 6.9-inch flat OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and narrow bezels on all sides. The hardware will be led by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, paired with up to 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage.

Its camera specs are likely to include a 200-megapixel main sensor, paired with a 50-megapixel telephoto macro lens. It will also have a 50MP ultrawide lens. These specs are similar in comparison to the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max, but the latter also has a secondary display on the rear. The Xiaomi 17 Max is rumored to skip that. 

Other rumored features include symmetrical dual speakers, an X-axis linear motor, and a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. The device may also introduce a new silicon-based battery with a capacity starting in the 8,000mAh range, along with full water resistance and a metal frame. The overall design is said to follow a clean, minimalist approach.

Word on the street says OnePlus is working on a handheld console, and turns out it’s real. OnePlus official Li Jie confirmed in a livestream yesterday that the company is at least experimenting with a handheld gaming device.

During the stream, Li briefly showed a hand-drawn sketch of what looked like a portable console. The illustration wasn’t detailed, but the outline was clear enough to suggest it’s a gaming device.

Previously, tipster Digital Chat Station shared renders of a similar device. Those images pointed to a slightly boxy design with shoulder buttons, a rear camera, and colored grips.

So far, OnePlus hasn’t confirmed any specifications. But based on leaks, the device could feature an 8-inch display and run on a flagship chipset from MediaTek.

OnePlus’s gaming console will be touchscreen first

What could set this console apart is its approach to controls. Instead of relying entirely on joysticks and physical buttons, OnePlus may focus on a touchscreen-first interaction system. It’s expected to improve multi-finger input, reduce latency, and support high refresh rates.

Previous reports also mention system-level optimizations for games like Delta Force and PUBG Mobile.

The console is also expected to pack a larger battery, with hints of active cooling as well.

Alongside the console tease, Li also showed the OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra, a more immediate product powered by a Dimensity 9500 chip and a 165Hz display. It is closer to launch, while the handheld console is more of an experiment for now.

A report from March had already suggested that OnePlus was exploring an “Android handheld console” concept, possibly as part of a broader push by smartphone makers into new categories.

Nothing is official yet, and there’s still no timeline. But now that the concept has been teased by the company itself, a OnePlus console may not be too far off.

Global smartphone shipments are off to a slower start in 2026. According to IDC’s latest Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker, shipments fell 4.1% year over year in the first quarter to 289.7 million units.

The drop effectively ends a ten-quarter streak of growth that began around mid-2023. And we are all probably aware of the reasons. Supply constraints tied to storage components and rising costs. Both of these are expected to continue putting pressure on the market.

The top two companies still posted growth. Samsung and Apple were the only vendors among the global top five to record year-over-year gains.

The market outlook in Q1, 2026

Samsung returned to the number one spot for the quarter, thanks in part to the demand for the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. Even with a later-than-usual launch, shipments still rose 3.6% compared to last year. 

The company also filled the gap with earlier releases in its midrange A series, which helped stabilize volumes.

Apple followed in second place, with the iPhone 17 series seeing particularly strong demand in China. The company recorded more than 30% growth in the mainland, contributing to a 3.3% increase globally. That said, IDC notes that supply disruptions and weaker channel support in some regions kept that growth in check.

For the rest of the top five, things were a bit more muted. Xiaomi held onto third place despite posting the largest decline among the group. 

Oppo came in fourth, with stronger performance in China offsetting weaker international results. Notably, Oppo’s data now also includes Realme. Vivo rounds out the top five, contributing 7.3% of global smartphone shipments. 

Outside the top tier, there were a few bright spots. Honor, along with Lenovo (through Motorola) and Huawei, all managed to grow. Honor stood out with a 24% year-over-year increase, which IDC says is due to its overseas expansion. 

In China, total shipments reached about 69 million units, down 3.3% from a year ago. Even there, growth from Huawei and Apple wasn’t enough to offset the broader slowdown.

The benchmark leak comes shortly after a teaser microsite quietly went live on Flipkart. While the page doesn’t explicitly name the device, the design and finishes shown match previously leaked renders of the Edge 70 Pro. It is expected to come in three finishes: a fabric-like blue, a satin-style green, and a marble-inspired white.

Design-wise, the phone is expected to stick with familiar Motorola aesthetics, a curved display with a centered hole-punch camera, and a square-shaped module on the back housing a triple camera system. There is also mention of HDR10+ certification.

Moreover, certification listings suggest a 6,500 mAh battery with support for 90 W fast charging via USB-C. Other specifications have not been confirmed yet.

None of this is official just yet, but the pieces are starting to line up. Between the benchmark listing, leaked visuals, and the Flipkart teaser, it looks like Motorola is getting ready to formally introduce the Edge 70 Pro soon.

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.
