Qualcomm appears to be trying to tame the furnace-like credentials of its Snapdragon chips by emulating Samsung's most innovative thermal solution While clarifying that Qualcomm has prepared two and not six versions of its Snapdragon 8 Elite […]

It comes in at 4,050 mm long, 1,758 mm wide and 1,580 mm high with a 2,560 mm wheelbase.

2. Arcfox Beta S3 (7,492 sales)

The Beta S3 is a highly strategic vehicle for Arcfox’s parent company BAIC as it shakes up the mid-size segment by utilising a very aggressive pricing structure and pairing up with CATL’s Choco-SEB battery-swapping network. The Beta S3 features a sleek, coupe-like fastback silhouette with smooth, flowing body lines designed to maximise aerodynamic efficiency. The front end utilises the signature Arcfox “star-ring” split LED headlight clusters paired with a closed grille and an aggressive, inverted trapezoidal lower cooling vent.

The cabin is dominated by a massive 15.6-inch floating central touchscreen command centre paired with an 8.8-inch digital driver instrument cluster. It also features a 50W wireless smartphone charging pad and an electronic column shifter to free up centre console space. The S3 features BAIC’s Yuanjing intelligent driving assistance system (Metaverse Pilot). Top-tier configurations are equipped with LiDAR and the Horizon Journey J6B ADAS chip to support high-speed and urban Navigation on Autopilot (NOA). The Beta S3 is available in plug-in charging variants and rapid battery-swapping variants. A automated battery swap at a compatible station takes just 99 seconds to unlock, remove, and replace the pack.

The battery-owned pricing is 79,900 to 120,800 yuan. Main competitors are the BYD Seal 06, Nevo A07 and GAC Aion S Plus. The S3 has generated 30,000 orders within one month of pre-sales starting and is destined to great success.

3. Onvo L80 (5,949 sales)

The L80 is the third model by NIO’s mainstream brand Onvo. It is a mid-to-large premium electric SUV, the two-row, five-seat variant of the larger three-row L90 and shares its underlying architecture and most of its body styling with it. To appeal to outdoor enthusiasts, the vehicle is built around extensive cargo access, featuring a wide-aperture, powered front hood. The L80 stands at 5,145 mm long, 1,998 mm wide and 1,766 mm high with a 3,110 mm wheelbase. The cabin features a premium wraparound dashboard layout available in four interior colour themes. It uses high-end materials, including ultra-fibre velvet headlinings, genuine floating wood trim, and “Galaxy Illusion” customisable ambient lighting.

The digital cockpit is spread across a 35-inch Augmented Reality Head-Up Display (AR-HUD) for safety information, a central 17.2-inch 3K infotainment screen, and an 8-inch screen dedicated to rear-row entertainment. The L80 boasts an unprecedented 2,840 litres of maximum storage, the largest of any 5-seat SUV in China. It includes 2,600 litres in the main boot with the second row folded completely flat ad a 240-litre powered front trunk with an 830 mm wide opening.

The RWD variant has a 340 kW electric motor and accelerates 0-100 km/h in 5.9 seconds while the AWD adds a 100 kW front motor for a 0-100 km/h in 4.7 seconds. All trims use an 85 kWh ternary (NCM) battery pack. The RWD range is up to 605 km while the AWD range is up to 570 km. The L80 supports 600 kW ultra-fast charging, capable of replenishing 250 km of range in just 5 minutes. Crucially, it fully supports Nio’s automated battery swap network, allowing a full battery replacement in under three minutes at over 2,500 compatible stations across China.

Pricing for the full purchase option (battery included) is from 242,800 to 279,800 yuan (US$35,700-41,200 or 31,200-35,900€) but buyers who choose to rent the battery via subscription can drop the entry vehicle price down to a stunning 156,800 yuan (US$23,100 or 20,100€) plus a monthly battery rental fee. The Tesla Model Y is the L80’s primary target. Onvo undercuts the base Model Y’s retail price by roughly 17,700 yuan.The L80 is significantly larger, features 900V architecture (which Tesla lacks), boasts battery-swapping tech, and incorporates LiDAR-based autonomy. Tesla relies on its superior brand equity and global Supercharger reputation to push back. The Li Auto L7, Xpeng G9 and Denza N7 are other competitors. The L80 is already Onvo’s best-seller for its first month in market and should continue this way to be deemed a success.

4. NIO ES9 (3,108 sales)

The ES9 is NIO’s ultimate flagship executive SUV. Built on the advanced NT 3.0 platform, it stands as the largest mass-produced pure electric SUV developed in China. Striking a distinct balance between a luxury family hauler and a chauffeured business lounge, it pulls high-end technology from NIO’s ultra-luxury ET9 sedan. The ES9 is 5,365 mm long, 2,029 mm wide and 1,870 mm high with a 3,250 mm wheelbase. Primarily offered in a 2+2+2 six-seat executive layout, the cabin features premium materials, including traditional Chinese landscape art-inspired Su embroidery (boasting nearly 400,000 stitches in a rivers-and-mountains motif) across higher-tier trims.

The interior highlight is the “Sky Island” executive cabin. The second row boasts zero-gravity seats with a continuous 2.3-meter cushion surface and a 42-point full-body massage system. It features liquid crystal (LC) smart dimming windows that tint dark in just 17 milliseconds for absolute privacy. A central “Executive Console” incorporates dual 16-inch screens, a high-definition video conferencing system, and a magnetic tea tray.

A dual-motor all-wheel-drive system produces a combined 520 kW (697 hp) and 700 Nm of torque, catapulting this massive SUV from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds, with a top speed of 220 km/h. The ES9 is equipped with the SkyRide 48V fully active air suspension, steer-by-wire technology, and rear-wheel steering—giving this 5.3-metre giant a nimble turning circle of just 10.9 metres. It utilises a 102 kWh CATL ternary lithium-ion battery pack, delivering a CLTC-rated pure-electric range between 580 km and 620 km depending on the configuration and wheel size. Built on a 900V high-voltage platform, it supports 5C ultra-fast charging (adding 255 km of range in 5 minutes via 600 kW hyperchargers). Crucially, it supports NIO’s third-generation network, allowing a full battery swap in under 3 minutes.

NIO undercuts traditional foreign luxury giants by offering its Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) subscription model, which significantly slashes the upfront vehicle purchase cost by 108,000 yuan. Prices range from 498,000 to 628,000 yuan (US$69,000-87,000 or 64,000-80,700€) but are down to 390,000 to 520,000 with BaaS, with an additional monthly battery rental fee. The ES9 rules the ultra-premium, full-size new-energy SUV class, directly targeting the AITO M9, Li Auto L9 and imported legacy icons scubas the BMW X7 and Mercedes GLS as well as flagship luxury EVs like the Mercedes EQS SUV and BMW iX.

5. WEY V9X (1,018 sales)

The WEY V9X is Great Wall Motor’s (GWM) flagship full-size luxury 6-seater SUV, representing a push into the ultra-premium “9-series” SUV segment in China. The V9X features a commanding, business-class silhouette that leans away from rugged off-roading and heavily into modern, streamlined luxury. It draws heavy inspiration from traditional Chinese architectural elements and is available in dual-tone paint schemes. The V9X is offered in two distinct body lengths to suit either families or executives: the standard wheelbase is 5,205 mm long with a 3,050 mm wheelbase and the long wheelbase (Executive Edition) is 5,299 mm long with a 3,150 mm wheelbase. The interior layout is 2+2+2, with the second row featuring premium independent captain’s chairs with heating, ventilation, built-in wireless phone charging pads on the doors, and a 7-litre thermal refrigerator box.

The dashboard features a 12.3-inch driver cluster, dual 17.3-inch infotainment and passenger entertainment touchscreens and a 29-inch smart Head-Up Display (SR-HUD). There is also a 21.4-inch 4K ceiling-mounted entertainment monitor for the rear rows. The initial launch centres on the PHEV setup, with BEV versions expected later. A 2.0-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder gasoline engine (175 kW / 235 hp) is paired with dual electric motors and a 4-speed dedicated hybrid transmission (DHT) sending power to all four wheels. Combined system output scales dramatically by variant, producing 684 to 738 hp. It achieves 0–100 km/h in a swift 4.4 to 4.6 seconds. The V9X is offered in three SVOLT battery capacities (55.4 kWh, 66.6 kWh, and 80 kWh), yielding a pure-electric range of 240 km to 470 km (CLTC). Combined with a full gas tank, total comprehensive range spans an incredible 1,343 km to 1,700 km.

The V9X is priced from 349,800 to 389,800 yuan (US$51,400-57,300 or 44,900-50,100€) and enters the heavily contested large, luxury three-row NEV segment in China, targeting premium buyers looking to split the difference between luxury SUVs and MPVs. It will compete with the likes of the Li Auto L9, AITO M9, Denza N9, BYD Great Tang, Zeekr 8X and IM LS9. This is new territory for the WEY brand so we will keep our expectations modest.

6. Luxeed V9 (549 sales)

The Luxeed V9 is a premium, flagship full-size luxury MPV jointly developed by tech giant Huawei and automaker Chery under the Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance (HIMA). Moving away from traditional, bulky MPV design tropes, it is engineered to act as a cutting-edge mobile office and luxury family lounge. The V9 moves away from the oversized, aggressive front grilles common on modern Chinese luxury minivans. It features a clean, fully enclosed front fascia, smooth geometric contours, and a streamlined silhouette designed to lower aerodynamic drag. The V9 is 5,359 mm long, 2,009 mm wide and 1,879 mm high with a 3,250 mm wheelbase.

The vehicle can be arranged in a premium 3-row, 7-seat (2+2+3) or executive 6-seat layouts. The second row can rotate 180 degrees backward to create a face-to-face conference/lounge room with the third row. The entire rear area can also fold into a flat “double bed mode.” In a mass-production first, the V9 features seat-integrated helmet airbags which automatically deploy from the headrests during a crash to encircle and protect the occupants’ heads and necks. The front dashboard features a panoramic triple-screen array (instrument cluster, central infotainment, and passenger screen), supplemented by dual 21.4-inch 3K screens for rear-row passengers. 

The V9 is launched primarily as an Extended Range Electric Vehicle (EREV), utilising a 1.5T engine as the range extender and dual electric motors, paired with a choice of two battery packs: a 37 kWh LFP battery for a pure electric range of 158 km and a 53.4 kWh Ternary Lithium battery for a pure electric range of 210-223 km. Combined with a full tank of gas, the EREV achieves a comprehensive cruising range of up to 1,250 to 1,320 km. The V9 is priced from 389,800 to 519,800 yuan (US$56,500-75,300 or 50,100-66,800€) and will compete with the likes of the Denza D9, Li Auto Mega, Zeekr 009 and Xpeng X9.

7. Audi E7X (400 sales)

The AUDI brand, with a four-letter logo instead of the four-ring badge, is a cooperation with SAIC Motor that was launched last year and is developed specifically in China for China to target tech-savvy, younger buyers. AUDI’s first model was the E5 sportback which has been a complete failure. The pressure is on then for the E7X, a mid-to-large luxury electric crossover, to rectify the trajectory, and first month volumes are not encouraging. The E7X features a monolithic, coupe-like fastback crossover silhouette with short overhangs and a muscular, broad-shouldered stance. It is notably large—stretching over 5 meters long—giving it an imposing road presence that is slightly longer and wider than a standard Audi Q8. The front end features an innovative hidden lighting system: when turned on, more than 1,000 individual triangular LEDs glow straight through the body paint to form a striking signature.

The E7X is 5,049 mm long, 1,997 mm wide, 1,710 mm high with a 3,060 mm wheelbase. The interior strips away physical buttons, anchoring the cockpit around a massive 27-inch 4K panoramic curved infotainment touchscreen seamlessly blended alongside a 12.3-inch digital driver instrument cluster. The rear cabin experience is augmented by a 21.4-inch ceiling-mounted retractable cinema monitor. The E7X offers the Momenta ADAS Suite which enables advanced point-to-point urban Navigation on Autopilot (NOA) and fully automated scenario parking.

The E7X operates on a highly efficient 900V high-voltage electrical architecture utilising ternary NMC battery packs sourced from CATL. RWD variants have a 402 hp electric motor and AWD have dual electric motors for a combined 670 hp and a 0-100 km/h sprint time of 3.9 seconds. Thanks to its 900V platform and 4C fast-charging compatibility, it can charge from 10% to 80% in just 13 minutes, adding roughly 429 km of driving range in a 10-minute flash charge.

Audi launched the E7X with aggressive, market-disrupting pricing to directly tackle domestic Chinese premium brands. It goes from 269,800 to 359,800 yuan (US$39,800-53,000 or 34,700-46,200€), with its primary competitive target being the Xiaomi YU7. While Xiaomi commands ecosystem loyalty and strong initial momentum in China, AUDI counters with a more sophisticated active suspension architecture, a more executive-focused rear cabin (including that massive 21.4-inch drop-down screen), and legacy German manufacturing pedigree. Other competitors include the NIO EL7, Onvo L80 and Porsche Macan Electric.

8. Xpeng GX (270 sales)

The GX is Xpeng’s new flagship full-size SUV, marking the brand’s entry into the luxury three-row market, packing unprecedented processing power and an advanced steer-by-wire chassis. The GX features an undeniable “Range Rover-esque” road presence. It embraces a stately, boxy, and minimalistic design language with an upright front fascia, a high hood line, and distinctively slanted A and B-pillars. The side profile includes sleek retractable door handles. The rear features an executive split-opening tailgate and a clean, single full-width upper LED light bar. The GX comes in at 5,265 mm long, 1,999 mm wide, 1,800 mm high with a 3,115 mm wheelbase.

The vehicle is offered in a luxury 6-seat (2+2+2) layout. The digital cabin skips clutter for crisp screen real estate, powered by XPeng’s proprietary software and includes a 17.3-inch central infotainment touchscreen, 8.8-inch driver digital instrument cluster, 88-inch high-definition Augmented Reality Head-Up Display (AR-HUD) and 21.4-inch ceiling-mounted drop-down entertainment monitor for rear passengers. The GX rides on an advanced chassis featuring Bosch steer-by-wire and brake-by-wire technology, a dual-chamber active air suspension, and rear-wheel steering (7.5° angle normally, ramping to 10° for automated parking), giving it a tight, hatchback-like turning circle.

It is sold in two distinct powertrain variants. First as a BEV supporting 5C fast charging (10% to 80% in 12 minutes) with RWD (635-665 km range) or AWD (720-750 km range and 0-100 km/h in 4.0 seconds). Second as an EREV using a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine as a generator. The GX is priced from 279,800 to 329,800 yuan (US$41,060-48,395 or 35,950-42,400€) and will compete with the likes of the Li Auto L9, AITO M9, NIO ES9 and Denza N9. The GX received 24,863 firm orders within 12 hours of entering the market, so we are looking at a solid performance for the brand’s new flagship.

9. Smart #6 (133 sales)

The #6 is the first ever sedan from the Smart brand, now a Geely Mercedes joint venture. Rather than going pure electric right away, it uniquely debuts with a long-range plug-in hybrid powertrain. The #6 features an elegant, low-slung, “neo-retro” fastback liftback silhouette that measures nearly 4.9 meters long. It comes at exactly 4,906 mm long, 1,922 mm wide, 1,508 mm high with a wheelbase of 2,926 mm (larger than a standard BMW 3-Series). It abandons aggressive angular lines for smooth, aerodynamic curves, giving it a majestic road presence—earning it the official brand mascot of a “shark.”

The interior mirrors the rugged luxury of the Smart #5 but adapts it into a sleeker, lower-profile executive cabin. The dashboard boasts a fully digital driver instrument cluster and dual 13-inch OLED screens seamlessly spanning the centre console over to the front passenger side. The #6 utilises Geely’s high-efficiency NordThor Hybrid (EHD) powertrain, with a front-wheel-drive (FWD) setup paired with a Mercedes-tuned chassis and premium ZF steering. A 1.5-litre turbocharged inline-4 engine producing 120 kW (161 hp) is paired with a 200 kW (268 hp) electric motor integrated into a 3-speed Dedicated Hybrid Transmission (DHT) for a combined output of 429 hp.

Smart offers two lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery variants: a 20 kWh pack (SVOLT) for 110–135 km pure electric range (CLTC) or a 41.5 kWh pack (CATL) for up to 285 km pure electric range (CLTC). Combined with a full tank of gas, it reaches 1,810 km of total cruising range, with a fuel economy of roughly 3.9L/100km. The #6 is priced from 177,900 to 217,900 yuan (US$24,500 to $30,000 or 22,900-28,000€) and enters a very competitive premium segment. It will compete with the likes of the BYD Han, BYD Seal 07, Deepal L07, Nevo A07, Zeekr 007 and Xiaomi SU7. Smart has struggled to raise interest with Chinese buyers so far, and the #6 doesn’t seem to have what it takes to reverse the trend.

The slightly advanced 2nm ‘N2P’ process from TSMC is reportedly being used by Qualcomm and MediaTek, with both companies aiming to gain an advantage over Apple later this year. However, the Cupertino firm is expected to match its rivals’ competitiveness by adopting the same manufacturing process next year for the A21 Pro, but only the latter will receive preferential treatment for the improved technology, not the A21. Standard A21 for the base iPhone 20 could stick with TSMC’s 2nm N2, as wafer and memory costs threaten to chew through Apple’s profits In a report from Commercial Times, Apple is reported […]

OnePlus has silently unveiled the OnePlus Pad 3 Pro in China. The new tablet arrives as the successor to the OnePlus Pad 2 Pro, which debuted in the country in May 2025. While the hardware shares similarities with the globally available OnePlus Pad 4, the latest model is aimed specifically at the Chinese market. Read on to learn what the tablet brings to the table.

OnePlus Pad 3 Pro specifications and features

The OnePlus Pad 3 Pro features a 13.2-inch LCD panel with a 7:5 aspect ratio, 3392 x 2400 pixel resolution, and refresh rate support ranging from 30Hz to 144Hz. The display reaches up to 1,000 nits of peak brightness and covers 98 percent of the DCI-P3 color gamut. Under the hood, the tablet is powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, which is currently the most potent chip from Qualcomm.

The device is available with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 512GB of UFS 4.1 storage. It runs ColorOS 16 and includes productivity-focused features such as PC-level WPS Office, file management tools, cross-device screen sharing, keyboard and mouse sharing, and several AI-powered tools for note-taking, translation, and content creation.

For photography and video calls, the tablet includes a 13-megapixel rear camera and an 8-megapixel front-facing camera. Keeping the lights on is a 13,380mAh battery with support for 67W fast charging. It comes with other features, such as Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, USB 3.2 Gen 1, eight speakers, dual microphones, face unlock support, and stylus support. Lastly, it has a slim 5.94mm chassis that weighs approximately 672 grams.

OnePlus Pad 3 Pro price and availability

The OnePlus Pad 3 Pro is offered in Dark Brown and Light Green color options. Pricing starts at 4,399 Yuan (around $650) for the 12GB + 256GB variant, while the 12GB + 512GB model costs 4,899 Yuan (around $725). The top-end 16GB + 512GB edition is priced at 5,399 yuan (around $800).

The OnePlus Pad 3 Pro is the brand’s most powerful tablet yet, featuring Qualcomm’s latest flagship chipset and premium hardware. The catch is that it appears to be limited to China, while the globally branded OnePlus Pad 4 has only been launched in India so far, leaving other markets without either model.

OnePlus is giving its popular Nord audio lineup a fresh update with the new Nord Buds 4. They’re packing in some useful features, like strong noise cancellation and long battery life, while still keeping things affordable.

The company has now officially shared the key specs ahead of the June 25 launch in India. The big highlight is the up to 52dB active noise cancellation (ANC), which should do a solid job blocking out noise whether you’re commuting, working, or just trying to focus. Inside, the earbuds pack 12mm titanium-plated dynamic drivers that promise punchy bass and clear audio for music, movies, and calls.

Each earbud is super lightweight at just 4.3g and has an ergonomic design meant for comfortable long sessions. They also support 3D spatial audio and game spatial sound effects, which should make listening feel more immersive. You’ll be able to pick them up in two cool colors: Astral Teal (a nice cyan shade) and the classic Stellar Black.

Battery life looks like one of the strongest points. With the charging case, you’re looking at up to 54 hours of total playback. And if you’re in a rush, 10 minutes of fast charging gives you around 11 hours of use, which is super handy for busy days.

Pricing hasn’t been revealed yet, but these are clearly aimed at the competitive mid-range TWS segment. They build on the Nord series’ reputation for offering good value, and they should pair nicely with OnePlus phones through the HeyMelody app for smoother controls and possible software tweaks.

Overall, with solid ANC, good drivers, lightweight comfort, and marathon battery life, the Nord Buds 4 seem ready to take on rivals from Redmi and CMF. As the June 25 launch gets closer, it’ll be interesting to see how they actually perform in real life and whether they deliver that sweet spot of performance, comfort, and price that budget-conscious users are looking for.

Motorola’s Edge 70 Pro+ and Nothing’s Phone (4a) Pro target buyers who want premium features without entering flagship price territory. Both devices offer high-refresh-rate AMOLED displays, telephoto cameras, and large batteries, but they take different approaches.

Design and Display

Build and Feel

The Motorola Edge 70 Pro+ uses an eco-leather back paired with a plastic frame, creating a comfortable in-hand feel that resists fingerprints and offers a more practical everyday experience. It also brings stronger durability credentials with IP68/IP69 protection and MIL-STD-810H certification, making it a better choice for users who prioritize toughness and reliability.

The Nothing Phone (4a) Pro takes a more premium visual approach with an aluminum unibody construction and its signature mini-LED lighting system on the rear. The design stands out immediately and feels more distinctive than most smartphones in this segment. For buyers who value aesthetics and uniqueness, the Nothing device has a stronger visual appeal.

Display Quality

Both phones feature 144Hz AMOLED panels with HDR10+ support and excellent color reproduction. The Nothing offers a slightly larger display and thinner bezels, creating a more immersive viewing experience. However, the Motorola counters with higher brightness capabilities, making outdoor visibility more impressive under direct sunlight.

Verdict

The Nothing Phone (4a) Pro feels more premium and distinctive, but the Motorola Edge 70 Pro+ wins overall thanks to its superior durability and brighter display performance.

Specifications Including Battery

Performance

The Motorola Edge 70 Pro+ is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8500 Extreme chipset paired with fast UFS 4.1 storage. It delivers stronger processing power, faster app launches, and better sustained performance during gaming and multitasking. The hardware feels closer to upper-tier flagship devices than a traditional mid-range smartphone.

The Nothing Phone (4a) Pro uses the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset with UFS 3.1 storage. Daily performance remains smooth and responsive, and Nothing OS 4.1 provides a clean software experience. However, demanding workloads and heavy gaming sessions reveal the performance gap between the two devices.

Battery and Charging

Battery life is a major strength of the Motorola thanks to its massive 6500mAh battery. Combined with 90W wired charging and wireless charging support, it offers excellent convenience and endurance. The Nothing device provides respectable battery life with its 5080mAh global and 5400mAh Indian variants, but its 50W charging is noticeably slower and lacks wireless charging.

Verdict

The Motorola Edge 70 Pro+ clearly leads in performance, battery capacity, charging speed, and overall hardware capability, making it the stronger long-term performer.

Camera

Main and Secondary Lenses

Both phones feature a 50MP main camera and a 50MP periscope telephoto lens with 3.5x optical zoom, creating a surprisingly close contest. Motorola gains an advantage with its 50MP ultrawide camera, which captures more detail and flexibility than Nothing’s 8MP ultrawide sensor. This difference becomes noticeable in landscape photography and group shots.

Video recording is another area where Motorola pulls ahead. Support for 4K recording up to 120fps provides more creative flexibility, while Nothing is limited to 4K at 30fps. The Nothing device still produces attractive images with strong contrast and HDR processing, particularly in daylight conditions.

Selfie Camera

Motorola includes a 50MP autofocus selfie camera capable of 4K recording. The Nothing offers a 32MP front camera limited to 1080p video. The Motorola setup delivers sharper results and more versatility for content creators and video callers.

Verdict

The Motorola Edge 70 Pro+ offers a more complete camera package, particularly due to its superior ultrawide camera, stronger video capabilities, and higher-quality selfie setup.

Pricing

The Motorola Edge 70 Pro+ is priced around $570 (₹48,000), while the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro is priced around $500 (₹40,000). The price gap is noticeable but not excessive, considering the hardware differences between the two devices.

For the additional cost, the Motorola delivers a more powerful chipset, larger battery, faster charging, wireless charging support, stronger durability ratings, brighter display output, and a more capable camera system. These upgrades affect daily usage and are not merely specification-sheet advantages.

The Nothing Phone (4a) Pro remains attractive for buyers seeking a distinctive design and a clean software experience while saving money. It provides a balanced package that covers most essentials without feeling compromised. However, when comparing pure hardware value, the Motorola stretches the budget further.

Verdict

The Nothing Phone (4a) Pro offers solid value at its price, but the Motorola Edge 70 Pro+ justifies its higher cost with meaningful upgrades across nearly every major category.

Disclaimer:
Prices are approximate and may vary based on country, region, launch timing, and applicable taxes. Always check whether the listed price is for a China unit or a global/international variant when purchasing.

Conclusion

The Motorola Edge 70 Pro+ stands out through its large 6500mAh battery, 90W charging, wireless charging support, advanced durability certifications, brighter display, and stronger overall camera system. It is designed for users who prioritize performance, endurance, and versatility.

The Nothing Phone (4a) Pro differentiates itself with its aluminum unibody construction, unique mini-LED rear lighting system, clean Nothing OS interface, and lower entry price. It delivers a more distinctive personality than many competitors and appeals to buyers looking for something visually different.

Verdict

Both devices are strong contenders in the upper mid-range segment, but the Motorola Edge 70 Pro+ emerges as the better all-around smartphone. Its superior performance, battery life, charging capabilities, durability, and camera versatility provide tangible advantages in everyday use. 

Nothing Phone (4a) Pro remains a compelling alternative for users who prioritize design and software experience, but for most buyers, the Motorola offers the more complete package and the stronger overall value proposition.

Disclaimer: This comparison is based on the specifications provided and is intended for general informational purposes. Actual performance, camera results, battery life, and overall experience may vary depending on real-world usage, software updates, and individual preferences.

Microsoft has released its latest generation of Surface hardware. The 12th Edition Surface Pro and 8th Edition Surface Laptop are available for consumers starting today, June 16, with enterprise models scheduled for release on July 14. The primary update for this hardware cycle is the integration of Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon X2 architecture.

Surface Laptop & Surface Pro Specifications

Both the tablet and laptop lines are equipped with either the 10-core Snapdragon X2 Plus or the 12-core Snapdragon X2 Elite processors. These chips include a Qualcomm Hexagon NPU capable of 80 TOPS, which Microsoft says is designed to handle local AI processing tasks within Windows.

Memory configurations for the devices start at 16GB and can be upgraded to 64GB, while storage options range from 256GB (or 512GB on the 15-inch laptop) up to 1TB.

The Surface Laptop is available in two screen sizes: 13.8 inches and 15 inches. The 13.8-inch model starts at $1,599 and features a 120Hz LCD screen with a pixel density of 201 PPI. Microsoft’s battery estimates suggest up to 20 hours of local video playback.

The 15-inch version, starting at $1,699, includes a denser display at 262 PPI and adds a MicroSDXC card reader. Both laptops include two USB-C/USB4 ports and one USB-A port. The 13.8-inch model is also available in a new green colorway called Jade, alongside the standard Platinum, Black, and Dune options.

On the 2-in-1 side, the 13-inch Surface Pro 12 starts at $1,499 and is available in Platinum, Black, and Dune. The distinct hardware change for this generation is the availability of an optional OLED display, which retains the 120Hz dynamic refresh rate found on the LCD models.

The tablet includes a 1440p ultrawide front-facing camera, Wi-Fi 7 support, and two USB-C/USB4 ports. Battery life is rated at up to 15.5 hours for local video playback.

The post Microsoft launches new Surface Pro and Surface Laptop with Snapdragon X2 chips appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi 18 recently surfaced in the GSMA product database, confirming its existence. Based on how Xiaomi rolls out its flagships, the new Xiaomi 18 series should reach buyers as early as September this year.

However, tipster Digital Chat Station in a fresh reveal says Xiaomi is switching up its usual release order this time around. Instead of launching the standard and Pro models together, Xiaomi will reportedly bring out the higher-spec Xiaomi 18 Pro series first in September, with the standard Xiaomi 18 following shortly after. 

The gap between the two launches will not be large, and both phones are said to be available for purchase before the Chinese Spring Festival, which falls in February.

Now, if that sounds familiar, that’s because it is. Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 18 Pro in September, while the vanilla iPhone 18 is rumored to follow later in 2027. Xiaomi seems to be employing the same approach.

And…it might not be the only thing Xiaomi will copy from Apple—rumors suggest the company also plans to use the signature red color expected for the iPhone 18 series.

A price hike is the bigger issue

A bigger concern is that the Xiaomi 18 series is said to cost noticeably more than its predecessors. And this isn’t a Xiaomi-only move. Rising costs across the upstream supply chain are pushing prices up for nearly every major Android brand, not just Xiaomi.

Xiaomi founder Lei Jun has already weighed in on the memory issue. He said the current jump in memory prices is severe, and that supply prices are likely to keep climbing over the next two years. His advice to anyone planning to upgrade their phone soon is simple: buy sooner rather than later.

On the hardware side, the Xiaomi 18 series will be among the first phones to use Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 platform.

Mobile gaming in 2026 has shifted its focus from peak speed to sustained survival. To combat the dimmed screens and dropped frames that plague standard smartphones during heavy sessions, manufacturers are bringing out the heavy artillery: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chips, massive 7,000mAh batteries, and advanced thermal management. Whether you prefer a dedicated gaming powerhouse or a traditional flagship that can hold its own, here is a look at the best gaming phones available globally in June 2026.

Red Magic 11S Pro

The Red Magic 11S Pro is designed specifically for users who prioritize long gaming sessions and want hardware built entirely around that experience. Red Magic has focused heavily on sustained performance with this model. While it runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Leading Version processor, its ability to maintain performance relies on the AquaCore Cooling System.

This setup combines a physical 24,000 RPM internal fan with a fluorinated liquid cooling loop. Through the transparent back panel, you can see the non-conductive coolant being moved by ceramic micropumps. It is a complex solution, but it effectively prevents the phone from throttling under heavy workloads.

To support the main processor, Red Magic includes a secondary RedCore R4 chip that handles audio, haptic feedback, and visual effects, freeing up resources for the game itself. The display is a 6.85-inch 1.5K OLED panel with a 144Hz refresh rate. Because the 16-megapixel front camera is hidden beneath the display, there is no hole-punch cutout to interrupt the screen.

Powering the device is a large 7,500mAh battery that supports 80W wireless and wired charging, and the phone includes 520Hz capacitive shoulder triggers for physical inputs. On the software side, it runs Red Magic OS 11.5, which now integrates Google Gemini AI for real-time translation and image searches.

OnePlus 15

Not everyone wants a phone with visible cooling fans and transparent back panels. The OnePlus 15 takes a different approach, offering high-end gaming capabilities inside a standard, premium smartphone design. It uses the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor and pairs it with up to 16GB of RAM, but its primary gaming advantage is the display.

The 6.78-inch AMOLED screen features a native 165Hz refresh rate that is specifically supported by games like Call of Duty: Mobile and Brawl Stars. It also includes a dedicated touch response chip that pushes the touch sampling rate to 3200Hz for quicker input recognition.

Instead of a physical fan, the OnePlus 15 manages heat using a large vapor chamber and an aerospace-derived aerogel insulation layer to keep the exterior comfortable to hold. It features a 7,300mAh Silicon NanoStack battery and supports bypass charging, which allows you to power the phone directly from the wall while gaming to reduce heat and preserve battery health.

Unlike most gaming-focused phones, the OnePlus 15 also delivers a highly capable camera system, featuring a 50MP main sensor and a 50MP periscope telephoto lens. It is also built to last, carrying IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K ratings for water and dust resistance.

Red Magic 11 Pro

If you want the core Red Magic experience but don’t need the overclocked processor of the new “S” variant, the Red Magic 11 Pro remains an incredible buy. Launched late last year, it still holds its own against anything released in 2026.

It features the standard Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor and can be configured with up to 24GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. The display remains the same 6.85-inch notchless OLED panel, providing an uninterrupted view of your games. To maintain frame rates during extended play, it also utilizes the AquaCore system, showcasing a visible, flowing liquid cooling loop through a transparent back, paired with a massive vapor chamber and a 24,000 RPM active cooling fan.

It also retains the 7,500mAh battery, the 520Hz shoulder triggers, and the dual stereo speakers found on the S-tier model. It is a highly capable device that focuses purely on the gaming experience without the extra experimental hardware.

Red Magic 11 Air

Gaming phones are traditionally heavy and thick to accommodate larger batteries and cooling systems. The Red Magic 11 Air attempts to balance dedicated gaming features with a more manageable form factor. It is 12% thinner and 10% lighter than the standard 11 Pro, making it much easier to use as a daily driver.

Despite the smaller size, Red Magic managed to fit a physical 24,000 RPM cooling fan inside, which is a notable addition to the Air lineup. It uses the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and features a 6.85-inch 144Hz OLED display with ultra-narrow bezels. The battery is slightly smaller at 7,000mAh, but that is still larger than most standard smartphones on the market and a significant upgrade from the previous generation.

It also retains the physical shoulder triggers, which have been updated to support vertical games, and includes charge separation technology to keep the phone cool when plugged in. For software, it includes tools like a Tactical Coach for real-time guidance in popular multiplayer games, making it a well-rounded option for those who want gaming features in a slimmer profile.
