OnePlus has started the stable OxygenOS 16 rollout for its 2025 flagships in India, with a broader release to follow in batches. The OnePlus 13 is receiving build CPH2649_16.0.0.210 (EX01), while the OnePlus 13s is getting CPH2723_16.0.0.211 (EX01). Users in India will see the update first, with more regions to follow as the staged rollout progresses.

What’s new at a glance

OxygenOS 16 focuses on fluid animations, tighter performance scheduling, expanded on-device AI tools, refreshed visuals, and deeper cross-device features. Below is a concise breakdown of the headline changes, drawn from the official changelogs for both models.

Fast & Smooth: animations and touch

• Parallel Processing: System apps now animate from intuitive start and end points. Drag-and-drop animations on the Home screen, widgets, folders, and Smart Sidebar are smoother. The text selection magnifier fades in and out cleanly.
• UI polish: New animations for message and contact buttons, slicker Quick Settings audio controls, and seamless status bar transitions when opening notifications or Quick Settings. Button navigation gains concurrent start/exit animations for apps.
• Gesture and motion feedback: Touch-and-hold interactions on Calculator, Lock screen, and call interfaces produce richer haptic/visual responses.

Samsung has partnered with Pearson to address focus and attention challenges that affect both children and adults. The result of this collaboration is Revibe, an AI-powered wearable app for the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 that helps users improve focus, attention, and self-regulation skills.

Revibe takes advantage of the Galaxy Watch’s built-in sensors to monitor on-task behavior, fidgeting, work completion, and physical activity. Based on this data, it provides gentle reminders and personalized insights to help users stay focused and manage daily tasks better. The tool is especially helpful for people with attention-related conditions like ADHD.

The system combines Pearson’s attention-enhancing software with Samsung’s Knox security platform to deliver a discreet and secure experience. Users receive small vibrations to refocus, visual “light bulb moments” for instant feedback, and adaptive recommendations throughout the day. Revibe is designed to support concentration and executive functioning in schools, workplaces, and at home.

One of its biggest advantages is Samsung’s Freestanding Mode, which allows the Galaxy Watch to run Revibe without a smartphone. This makes it suitable for children in school environments where phones aren’t allowed. The Revibe dashboard also gives families, educators, and clinicians real-time access to progress reports, helping them provide targeted support.

Rich Brancaccio, Senior Director at Pearson and founder of Revibe, said the Galaxy Watch was chosen for its secure design, long battery life, and distraction-free setup. Cherry Drulis, Senior Director at Samsung, added that Knox Manage and Kiosk Mode ensure the watch stays focused on Revibe while keeping updates secure and distractions minimal.

The partnership will begin with the Galaxy Watch 7 series and later expand to other Samsung devices. Revibe will be available to educators, clinicians, parents, and individuals looking to build better focus and attention habits.

Audio-Technica has released a new take on its classic studio headphones with the ATH-M50x ENSO edition. This version draws from Japanese design traditions, featuring engraved details inspired by the Enso circle, a symbol of simplicity, balance, and continuity. It also brings back the original M50x’s all-black look after several colorful limited editions over the years.

Each pair of ATH-M50x ENSO headphones features detailed engravings on the earcups and headband that reflect the motion of sound waves and the brushwork seen in traditional Japanese ink art. While the exterior design has been refreshed, the sound remains the same. Audio-Technica has kept the trusted 45 mm large-aperture drivers, copper-clad aluminum wire voice coils, and soft, isolating ear pads that give the M50x its clear, powerful sound with deep and accurate bass. The earcups swivel 90 degrees for single-ear monitoring and can fold up for easy travel.

Only 5,000 units of the ATH-M50x ENSO will be available worldwide, each with its own serial number. In addition, 500 random buyers will find a special postcard inside the box that can be redeemed for an exclusive ENSO accessories kit, which includes a matching headphone stand and carry case.

The headphones come with a protective pouch, a 6.3 mm screw-on adapter, and three detachable cables: a 1.2–3.0 m coiled cable, a 3.0 m straight cable, and a 1.2 m straight cable.

Pricing & availability

The Audio-Technica ATH-M50x ENSO edition is available now for $199 on Amazon.

Final has launched the UX5000, the latest model in its popular UX series of wireless headphones. The company says it aims to deliver the same level of sound quality as wired headphones while keeping the convenience of wireless use.

The UX5000’s sound tuning is inspired by Final’s flagship A10000 earphones. Its refined acoustic design produces crisp highs and deep, well-controlled bass. Inside, a large 40mm dynamic driver and advanced damping system help bring out fine details across all kinds of music, from classical to rock and jazz.

At the core of the headphones is Qualcomm’s QCC3095 chip, built for both efficiency and sound precision. The UX5000 supports the LDAC codec for high-resolution wireless playback and uses a hybrid noise-cancelling setup that combines feedforward and feedback microphones. This system reduces outside noise without compromising clarity. For times when you need to stay aware of your surroundings, the Ambient Mode allows external sound to pass through naturally.

The UX5000 also supports wired playback through the included 3.5mm cable. This mode lowers latency to about one-tenth of Bluetooth while maintaining the same sound quality, supported by the internal DSP.

Built for long-term use, the headphones feature a textured, scratch-resistant finish that holds up well with daily wear. The memory-foam ear pads and flexible headband provide comfort during extended listening sessions and can be replaced easily without tools. Even the battery can be swapped out through Final’s official service.

The companion “final UX5000” app lets users adjust noise-cancelling levels, fine-tune audio with a 10-band equalizer, and manage multipoint Bluetooth connections. Battery life is rated at up to 65 hours with ANC off, and the headphones use Bluetooth 5.4 for stable performance.

Pricing & availability

The Final UX5000 is priced at 32,800 yen and comes with a semi-hard carrying case and 3.5mm cable. It will be available through Final’s official store, major electronics retailers, and specialty audio shops across Japan.

Razer has launched two new gaming keyboards, the Huntsman V3 Pro 8KHz and the Huntsman V3 Pro Tenkeyless 8KHz.

These keyboards feature Razer’s Analog Optical Switches Gen-2 combined with True 8000 Hz HyperPolling Technology. Together, they deliver 11 percent faster performance than the nearest competitor with a latency of just 0.58 milliseconds. Every key press registers almost instantly, which is crucial for fast-paced esports play.

Players can adjust the actuation range from 0.1 mm to 4.0 mm to suit their preference.

The switches are factory-tuned for 0.1 mm accuracy, offering 2.5 times better precision than competing models, and are rated for 100 million keystrokes.

Razer worked with Counter-Strike legend Nikola “NiKo” Kovač to develop the Huntsman V3 Pro 8KHz. NiKo collaborated with Razer engineers to refine the keyboard’s feel, latency, and responsiveness. “The 8KHz model takes things to another level,” said NiKo. “I visited Razer’s headquarters in Singapore to test and help fine-tune the performance for pro-level gameplay.”

Both versions have a durable 5052 aluminum alloy top plate, sound-dampening foam, pre-lubricated stabilizers, and textured doubleshot PBT keycaps. They also come with a magnetic leatherette wrist rest for comfort during long sessions.

Each model includes a clickable digital dial and dedicated control buttons for media, macros, and quick adjustments to actuation height or Rapid Trigger sensitivity. An onboard LED display provides instant feedback, and all settings are stored directly on the keyboard, removing the need for extra software.

Razer has partnered with Valve to launch the Razer | Counter-Strike 2 Collection, turning the famous Dragon Lore skin from Counter-Strike into real-world esports gear.

Dragon Lore is one of the most well-known skins in Counter-Strike history. It first appeared in July 2014 as part of the Cobblestone Collection for Counter‑Strike: Global Offensive and quickly became one of the most coveted cosmetic items in the game. Its design features an olive-green base with a fiery dragon motif wrapping around the barrel, accented by Celtic knotwork and red and gold highlights.

The skin’s rarity and high demand came from its extremely low drop rate, especially in the Souvenir version, and the fact that the Cobblestone Collection was later removed from active drop pools. Over time, Dragon Lore became more than just a cosmetic item. It turned into a symbol of achievement, wealth, and prestige within the Counter-Strike community, often representing the pinnacle of in-game status and collector value.

WhatsApp has added passkey-encrypted backups, giving users a stronger way to secure their chat data stored on Google Drive or iCloud. The new feature builds on WhatsApp’s existing end-to-end encryption, which already protects messages, media, and calls.

With passkey protection, users can now secure their backups using fingerprint, face ID, or screen lock. There’s no need to remember or manage a 64-digit encryption key, making it simpler to keep backups safe. The encryption ensures that only the user can access the data, not WhatsApp or the cloud provider. This protection applies to all stored content, including photos, voice notes, and chat histories.

WhatsApp said that its end-to-end encryption now safeguards more than 100 billion messages sent every day by over 2 billion users. While most chats are stored locally on devices, many people also back them up online. The encrypted backup feature ensures that these files remain private even when stored in the cloud.

The passkey-encrypted backup option will roll out globally in the coming weeks. Users will need to update to the latest version of WhatsApp to access the feature on both Android and iOS.

Amazon has started selling the Echo Dot Max and Echo Studio, two new smart speakers that were unveiled last month. Both devices are built for Alexa+, Amazon’s next-generation AI assistant designed to hold more natural conversations, understand context, and complete daily tasks more efficiently.

Powered by New Custom Chips

At the heart of these new Echo speakers are Amazon’s latest AZ3 and AZ3 Pro processors. These chips come with an integrated AI Accelerator that allows Alexa+ to handle more advanced AI functions directly on the device, improving speed and reducing dependence on cloud processing.

The Echo Dot Max runs on the AZ3 chip. It improves wake-word detection by more than 50 percent and filters background noise more effectively through a new microphone system. The chip also supports better conversational response and smarter sound adaptation for different room environments.

The Echo Studio uses the more powerful AZ3 Pro chip, which enhances both audio and AI performance. It can process larger language models and advanced sound algorithms, allowing Alexa+ to respond faster and manage connected devices more efficiently.

Both speakers also feature Omnisense, Amazon’s new sensor platform that combines audio, ultrasound, Wi-Fi radar, and motion signals. This helps Alexa recognize activities happening around the room and act proactively, such as reminding users of an open door or starting a routine when it detects someone nearby.

Echo Dot Max: Compact with Bigger Sound

The Echo Dot Max is Amazon’s most powerful compact smart speaker yet. It features a new two-way speaker system with a high-excursion woofer for deeper bass and a custom tweeter for sharper high tones. Compared to the Echo Dot (5th Gen), it delivers nearly three times the bass.

Amazon has redesigned the speaker’s internal structure by integrating the audio components directly into the device housing. This doubles the air space, producing stronger and more balanced sound in a compact design.

Echo Studio: Premium Audio in a Smaller Body

The new Echo Studio is 40 percent smaller than the previous version while offering premium, room-filling sound. It includes a high-excursion woofer for rich bass and three full-range drivers arranged to create 360-degree sound coverage. The speaker supports spatial audio and Dolby Atmos, which provide immersive, surround-style sound.

Its spherical design is covered in 3D-knit acoustic fabric, maintaining clear and transparent sound. The familiar light ring now features visual cues powered by a new recognition model for more interactive responses.

Smarter Audio

Both the Echo Dot Max and Echo Studio can be paired with Fire TV sticks to build a surround sound setup using Alexa Home Theater. The system allows up to five speakers to connect, and Alexa automatically tunes them based on the room layout. This provides a full home-theater experience that normally requires expensive equipment and setup.

The Echo Dot Max is priced at $99.99, while the Echo Studio costs $219.99. Both are now available for purchase.
