In March, Oppo is expected to unveil two new Find X9 series phones for the Chinese market. One of them has just received a major go-ahead from the country’s SRRC authority. This device is believed to be the Find X9s Pro.
As can be seen above, the SRRC authority has approved an Oppo phone with model number PME110, indicating clearance for its wireless and radio communication features in China. However, the device is still awaiting 3C and TENAA certifications before it can move closer to an official launch.
Previous reports claimed that this device was the Find X9s, but newer reports have revealed that it will be called the Find X9s Pro when it hits the Chinese market. Speculation is rife that the device will be released in the global market in the second quarter of this year.
Recent reports have revealed that the Oppo Find X9s Pro will feature a 6.32-inch OLED LTPS screen delivering a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It will be the only compact phone to feature dual 200-megapixel cameras backed by the Samsung HP5 sensor. These primary and periscope telephoto cameras will be accompanied by a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens. For selfies, it will have a 50-megapixel front-facing camera.
The Find X9s Pro is said to feature the Dimensity 9500 and a massive battery of around 7,000mAh capacity. It is expected to support 80W wired and 50W wireless charging.

Samsung is reportedly preparing to launch its new Galaxy Buds 4 and Galaxy Buds 4 Pro earbuds along with the Galaxy S26 series on February 25. Ahead of that, new images have now given us the clearest look at both earbuds and their cases.
According to the renders shared by Android Headlines, both earbuds look similar, but there is one main difference. The Galaxy Buds 4 do not include silicone tips, while the Buds 4 Pro do. Silicone tips help the earbuds fit better and block outside noise.
Both the Galaxy Buds 4 and Buds 4 Pro models have a stem design. The charging connectors are on the inside of the stem, and microphones are placed at the bottom and the back top of the earbuds.

Apple has yet to announce its M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pro models, but that doesn’t mean that the company will delay its redesigned versions sporting OLED upgrades and its first 2nm chipsets for this platform, the M6. According to the latest report, the new portable Macs are expected to arrive in Q4 2026, but the latest information states that the sole supplier of OLED panels, Samsung, has yet to initiate mass production of the core component. Previously, the Korean manufacturer was reported to be ahead of schedule with the display manufacturing, hinting that Apple would face little to […]

The Oppo Find X10 series has begun making early appearances in the rumour mill, months ahead of its expected launch. While Oppo is preparing to introduce new Find X9 models in the near term, fresh leaks suggest that the next-generation Find X10 lineup could bring notable upgrades, particularly in the camera department.
According to information shared by Digital Chat Station on Weibo, Oppo is currently evaluating a dual 200-megapixel camera setup for the Find X10 series. The configuration reportedly includes a 200-megapixel primary camera paired with a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera, both using large 1/1.3-inch sensors. If finalized, this would mark the largest telephoto sensor Oppo has ever tested for its Find lineup.
The leak suggests that this camera setup is being tested across the entire Find X10 range, including the standard and Pro variants. There are also indications that Oppo may introduce a Pro Max model for the first time, expanding the lineup beyond the usual two variants. An Ultra model is said to follow next year, continuing Oppo’s staggered release strategy.
Interestingly, similar camera hardware is expected to debut earlier on the Find X9s Pro, which is tipped to launch in China in the first half of the year. That device is also rumored to feature dual 200-megapixel Samsung HP5 cameras, indicating Oppo’s broader push towards high-resolution imaging across its flagship portfolio.
On the performance front, the Find X10 series is expected to be among the first smartphones powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9600 chipset. Built on a 2nm process, the new platform is said to offer higher performance at lower power consumption compared to previous generations. Early testing reportedly shows notable gains in efficiency and sustained performance.
At this stage, details about display technology, battery capacity, and charging remain limited. However, Oppo is expected to position the Find X10 series as a major leap over the Find X9 lineup, especially in camera hardware. With the launch still some time away, more concrete information should emerge in the coming months.

PGYTECH is taking a slightly unusual approach to mobile photography with its new RetroVa Vintage Imaging Kit, a Kickstarter project that turns recent iPhones into something that feels closer to a compact mirrorless camera than a phone with accessories bolted on.
The idea isn’t entirely new. Chinese brands like Xiaomi, Vivo and Oppo have already experimented with external camera modules and add-on optics, but RetroVa is one of the first attempts to bring that concept properly to iPhones.
The kit is designed for the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max, as well as the iPhone 17 Pro lineup, with hints that future models could also be supported. It’s clearly aimed at users who are happy with their phone but frustrated by the limits of smartphone zoom.
There are two main versions of the kit. The entry-level option is a grip and case combo that adds a proper camera-style handle to the iPhone. It includes a two-stage shutter button, a zoom rocker, a control dial, and extra buttons that can be mapped to settings like ISO or exposure. The goal here isn’t just convenience, it’s to make shooting feel more deliberate and controlled, closer to using a dedicated camera.
The more expensive bundle adds a screw-on 2.35x telephoto extender. When paired with the iPhone 17 Pro’s 4x telephoto camera, this pushes the effective focal length to around 235mm equivalent, or 10x optical zoom. On the iPhone 16 Pro’s 5x lens, it goes up to 12x. The promise is cleaner results than digital zoom can offer, especially for wildlife, sports, or events.
One of the more interesting touches is the built-in microSD card slot for creators, which reportedly allows direct recording of ProRes video. There’s also a companion app with manual controls and a retro-inspired interface, though the grip itself has only a small battery meant to power its controls.
The Kickstarter campaign launched in late January 2026 and has already passed its funding goal comfortably. Shipping is planned for March and April, depending on the kit.
It’s still a crowdfunded product, so there’s the usual risk involved. But for iPhone users who want better zoom and more hands-on control — without buying a new phone or a separate camera — RetroVa is an interesting experiment.

Redmi is reportedly working on a new A-series phone called the Redmi A7 Pro. While the device was certified by the FCC authority in December 2025, it is only now, through the NBTC (Thailand) and TDRA (UAE) certifications, that the moniker of this device has been confirmed as the Redmi A7 Pro. Here’s a look at what to expect from the device.
The Redmi A7 Pro has appeared with the model number 25128RN17Y in TDRA’s database, whereas it has been spotted with the model number 25128RN17A in Thailand. The latter was also seen on Indonesia’s SDPPI certification platform. These listings do not confirm anything about the core specifications of the phone, but the NBTC listing reveals that it will be a 4G LTE phone.
The appearance of the Redmi A7 Pro moniker suggests that the company has decided to skip the Redmi A6 altogether. Therefore, the A7 Pro is the successor to last year’s Redmi A5.
Redmi’s sibling brand Poco is said to be working on the Poco C81 (model number: 25128RN17G). This is expected to be a rebranded version of the Redmi A7 Pro, just as last year’s Poco C71 was a rebadged edition of the Redmi A5.
As per the previously seen FCC listing, the Redmi A7 Pro will arrive with a 6.9-inch LCD panel, which may have a waterdrop notch and support an HD+ resolution. Likely, it will run on Android 15 Go edition.
The device is expected to ship with the Unisoc T7250 chip, which also powered last year’s Redmi A5 and Poco C71. The A7 Pro is expected to ship with 4GB / 6GB of LPDDR4x RAM and 64GB / 128GB of eMMC storage.
At present, there is no information about the Redmi A7 Pro’s camera details. Under the hood, it is expected to feature a 6,000mAh battery with 15W charging support over the USB-C port.

Jarrett Allen scored a career-best 40 points, collected a season-high 17 rebounds and added five assists to lead the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 130-111 victory over the host Portland Trail Blazers on Feb. 1.
Sam Merrill made six 3-pointers for the fifth time this season and scored 22 points and Jaylon Tyson was 4 for 4 from 3-point range while recording 18 points and six assists for the Cavaliers. Donovan Mitchell had 14 points and nine assists and Nae'Qwan Tomlin had 12 points as Cleveland won for the sixth time in the past seven games.
Caleb Love scored 21 points off the bench and Shaedon Sharpe had 20 points for Portland, which lost its fifth game in a row. Sidy Cissoko and Jerami Grant scored 15 points apiece, Toumani Camara had 12 points and reserve Robert Williams III had 10 points and 12 rebounds.
Portland played without Deni Avdija (back), who was named a Western Conference All-Star reserve earlier Sunday. Avdija has missed six of the last 10 games after playing in each of the first 40.
Cleveland remained without Darius Garland (right toe sprain) and Evan Mobley (left calf strain).
The Cavaliers shot 54.9% from the field with Allen being a stellar 16-of-23 shooting. Cleveland made 16 of 34 from 3-point range.
Cleveland led 102-78 early in the fourth quarter before Portland erupted with an 18-4 surge. Camara culminated it with a 3 to pull the Trail Blazers within 106-96 with 7:35 remaining.
But Allen capped a 7-0 burst with a dunk to give the Cavaliers a 17-point lead with 6:23 left. Portland later crept within 11 before Merrill and Tyson each made 3-pointers during an 8-2 burst as Cleveland went ahead 123-106 with 3:15 to go and closed it out.
Portland shot 44.9% from the field and connected on 14 of 44 from behind the arc.
Allen hit 12 of 15 shots in the first half and had 25 points and 10 rebounds as the Cavaliers led 57-48 at the break.
Allen scored 16 points in the opening quarter to help Cleveland hold a 29-24 lead. Mitchell's 3-pointer and back-to-back hoops by Tomlin made it 40-29 with 8:06 left in the half.
Love made two 3s during a 12-3 push that brought the Trail Blazers within 43-41 with 5:21 to play before the Cavaliers finished the half strong.
In the third quarter, Mitchell started a 13-0 run by knocking down a trey. Merrill made two 3-pointers during the burst to give the Cavaliers an 81-59 advantage with 6:01 remaining.
Cleveland led 98-78 entering the final quarter.

CLEVELAND — Donovan Mitchell will be the lone Cavaliers representative at the 2026 NBA All-Star Game.
Mitchell was announced as an All-Star reserve by the NBA on Feb. 1. It's his seventh consecutive All-Star selection and fourth in a row since joining the Cavs prior to the 2022-23 season.
Mitchell was viewed by some around the league as one of the bigger All-Star starter snubs, considering he's averaging 29.1 points on a 61.8 true shooting percentage (which effectively combines all types of shots into one number), both of which are career bests.
Mitchell has taken on an even larger scoring role than normal this season while the Cavs have dealt with a never-ending series of injuries and absences within the starting lineup and rotation. Though, that disjointed first half of the season — the Cavs entered February with a 29-21 record and currently holding the No. 5 seed in the East — left Mitchell not surprised that he was left out of the All-Star starting lineup.
"To be honest, I kind of expected that," Mitchell said Jan. 19, after the Cavs fell to the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder. "I mean, the guys that were named [starters], their record is better than ours. So naturally, you reward that. .. I want to be a starter for sure, but understand that, hey, at the end of the day, we win games, everybody gets rewarded."
Last season, as the Cavs raced to a 64-win season and the top seed in the East, they had three All-Stars, with Evan Mobley and Darius Garland joining Mitchell.
Mitchell is joined by Jalen Johnson, Karl-Anthony Towns, Pascal Siakam, Norman Powell, Scottie Barnes and Jalen Duren as East All-Star reserves.
The 2026 NBA All-Star Game is slated for Feb. 15 at the Intuit Dome, home of the Clippers.

Apple has uncharacteristically delayed the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips. Its predecessor — M4 Pro and M4 Max — launched in November 2024, which means Apple is already past its typical window for announcing the successors. Now, a new rumor suggests the M5 Pro and M5 Max could finally arrive in March.
According to Weibo tipster Fixed-focus digital, Apple could finally unveil the M5 Pro and M5 Max about a month from now. The rumor doesn’t offer a clear explanation for why these chips are running late, especially when chatter suggests the M6 lineup could arrive earlier than previously expected.
One likely reason, however, could be supply-side limitations. TSMC, Apple’s chip manufacturing partner, has reportedly been dealing with constraints that may have slowed down production.
There are also signs that Apple’s SoIC (System-on-a-Chip) packaging may have encountered production challenges. That said, the same leak claims the M5 Pro and M5 Max could end up being slightly cheaper to manufacture, though not by a dramatic margin.
Any cost reduction would still matter, especially as the industry continues to deal with ongoing DRAM supply pressures.
SoIC could also help Apple address thermal concerns. Previous reports suggest that the standard M5 chip can reach temperatures as high as 99 degrees Celsius under sustained load. Improved packaging might help manage heat more effectively in the Pro and Max variants.
More interestingly, SoIC may allow Apple to separate CPU and GPU blocks on the die. This could open the door to more flexible configurations tailored to different workloads, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
As always, it’s worth treating this information cautiously. Apple has a habit of adjusting plans without warning. Still, if the M5 Pro and M5 Max do arrive in March, they’ll likely debut alongside new hardware — possibly refreshed MacBooks or even an M5 Max-powered Mac Studio.
For now, all that’s left is to wait.

Chinese smartphone manufacturers often don’t even hide the fact that they copy various design elements from Apple, whether in the physical or software aspects. The only question is what limitations are they willing to surpass to achieve this feat? Honor recently reached a milestone in this regard, as the former Huawei sub-brand was found to have added a rear dummy camera to its Power2 just so it could resemble the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max.
