Redmi is reportedly working on the Redmi Note 17 series and Redmi K100 series smartphones for the Chinese market. While the next Note lineup is expected to debut in July or August, the K100 series may break cover in October. In a recent leak, tipster Digital Chat Station revealed key details of a Redmi flagship that is tentatively scheduled to launch around the end of this year, suggesting that he could be referring to one of the Redmi K100 series phones.

Mysterious Redmi K100 series phone’s details emerge

As per the leak, the Redmi K100 series phone will feature a massive 7-inch display offering a 2K resolution. It will draw power from a huge 10,000mAh+ battery and come equipped with other flagship features, such as an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor, a metal frame, and an IP68/IP69-rated dust and water-resistant chassis.

Previous leaks from the same source suggested that the Redmi K100 Pro Max would be equipped with the 2nm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chip. However, the latest leak mentions the presence of a 3nm chipset instead.

At present, rumors do not point to a new Snapdragon 8-series 3nm chip from Qualcomm this year. Both the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and Gen 6 Pro are said to be built on a 2nm process.

On the other hand, there are two other 3nm chips reportedly in development. These include the Dimensity 9500 Plus, which is expected to be an overclocked version of the existing Dimensity 9500, and Xiaomi’s in-house Xring O3 chipset. As far as Qualcomm is concerned, the existing Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 is also a 3nm offering.

Reports have revealed that the Redmi K100 is expected to feature a 6.6-inch display and a battery capacity of around 8,500mAh. Therefore, the mysterious Redmi K100 series phone mentioned by the tipster appears to be neither the K100 nor the K100 Pro Max. This raises the possibility that the lineup could include a third model with the above-mentioned specifications. It may potentially feature either the Dimensity 9500 Plus or the Xring O3 chipset, although the latter currently appears more likely.

The post Mysterious Redmi K100 series phone tipped with insane 7-inch 2K display, 10,000mAh battery appeared first on Gizmochina.

With the expected September launch only a few months away, Apple fans are eagerly waiting for the iPhone 18 Pro series. While global supply chains have been rattled by the rising costs of memory chips, multiple reports claim that despite the price hike of components, the iPhone 18 Pro series may arrive with unchanged pricing.

Whether Apple maintains this aggressive stance or introduces a slight hike in pricing, the iPhone 18 Pro series is expected to offer big upgrades that make it a standout release.

Refined Rear Design

The iPhone 18 Pro is expected to debut a more “unified” aesthetic. Rumors suggest Apple has perfected a new glass-processing technique that minimizes the visual gap between the back panel and the titanium frame, creating a seamless feel in the hand. The headline color for this year is tipped to be a sophisticated Dark Cherry—a deep, wine-like red—joining the staple finishes of Silver, Dark Gray, and a new Light Blue.

The “Micro-Island” Display

The Dynamic Island is finally shrinking. By migrating several Face ID components under the display, Apple is likely to reduce the pill-shaped cutout by roughly 25%. This “Micro-Island” design provides more usable screen real estate, bringing the iPhone closer to a true “all-screen” look while retaining the interactive software features users have grown to love.

2nm A20 Pro Silicon

Under the hood, the A20 Pro chip will be a historic milestone: the world’s first mass-produced processor using TSMC’s 2nm node. This jump in architecture allows for a denser transistor count, resulting in a predicted 15% boost in speed and a staggering 30% reduction in power consumption. It is the powerhouse required for the next generation of on-device agentic AI features.

12GB RAM for Pro Workflows

To support increasingly demanding AI models and professional video codecs, the entire iPhone 18 Pro lineup is expected to jump to 12GB of RAM. This ensures that even with heavy background tasks or 4K ProRes rendering, the system remains buttery smooth. This jump is essential for future-proofing the device for the next half-decade of iOS updates.

Massive Battery Capacity Increase

Apple is reportedly moving away from purely chemical efficiency to focus on raw volume. Leaks point to the iPhone 18 Pro Max packing a massive 5,200 mAh cell, the largest ever seen in an iPhone. By slightly optimizing the internal chassis, Apple is expected to deliver a true “two-day battery” experience, significantly pushing the endurance limits for power users.

Variable Aperture & Camera Control 2.0

The camera system is going mechanical. Apple is expected to introduce a variable aperture on the 48MP main sensor, allowing the lens to physically adjust how much light hits the sensor for natural depth of field.

Complementing this is Camera Control 2.0, which is rumored to feature a pressure-sensitive mechanical feel. This allows for a “half-press to focus” and “full-press to shoot” experience, mimicking professional-grade cameras.

The Proprietary C2 Modem

This year marks a major shift in connectivity. The iPhone 18 Pro series will likely be the first to feature Apple’s in-house C2 5G modem. This custom silicon is designed for extreme power efficiency and deeper integration with the A-series chip. It aims to provide more stable connections in high-density areas and potentially introduces enhanced “Direct-to-Cell” satellite capabilities.

Alibaba has announced a major software upgrade for the Qwen AI Glasses S1, bringing a more proactive approach to AI interactions. Instead of waiting for voice commands, the smart glasses can now offer contextual suggestions and reminders based on a user’s schedule, surroundings, and daily habits. The update also introduces spatial 3D display technology and several lifestyle-focused AI services.

Qwen AI Glasses S1 now acts before you ask

The latest update allows the Qwen AI Glasses S1 to provide real-time prompts without requiring users to manually trigger commands. For example, the glasses can remind users to carry an umbrella before leaving home if rain is expected. During work hours, the device can also suggest taking a short break or stretching based on posture, wear duration, and activity patterns.

Alibaba says the AI system combines factors such as location, time, weather conditions, and usage behaviour to generate contextual recommendations. The company plans to further expand these abilities through stronger multimodal understanding and memory features. Future updates may include reminders to leave early for meetings due to traffic conditions or suggestions to switch from coffee to water after multiple caffeine orders during the day.

The update will also add ride-hailing, flash shopping, itinerary planning, and movie ticket booking features later this month. These additions are designed to reduce the need to frequently access smartphones during commuting, travel, or leisure activities.

Another major addition is what Alibaba describes as the world’s first spatial 3D display system for AI glasses. The Qwen AI Glasses S1 uses dual optical engines and binocular stereoscopic imaging technology to create layered visuals with depth perception instead of flat overlays.

This could make navigation prompts, notifications, subtitles, and digital content appear more naturally within the user’s field of view. Alibaba also announced partnerships related to tourism and cultural projects, including AI-assisted documentary creation and travel-focused experiences.

The update is rolling out to the Qwen AI Glasses S1, which is also marketed as the Quark AI Glasses S1 in China.
