Edifier launches Airpulse A80V near-field Hi-Fi speaker with 100W output

Aug 4, 2026

Edifier today launched a new active near-field Hi-Fi speaker in China called the Airpulse A80V. It’s an upgrade over the original A80, and while it keeps the things people liked about that model, Edifier has reworked the mid-bass driver for fuller, more rounded low-end output. The company has also added Savitech Hi-Fi USB audio decoding and a 3.5mm AUX input, so you get more ways to plug things in.

Edifier Airpulse A80V Specifications

On the power side, the A80V pushes out 10W+10W to the left and right tweeters and 40W+40W to the left and right mid-bass drivers, all with limited distortion.

It has a horn-loaded aluminum ribbon tweeter that stretches smoothly up to 40kHz, and because the ribbon design combines the diaphragm and voice coil into one piece, you get fast transient response and low phase distortion.

The mid-bass unit is 4.5 inches with an all-cast aluminum bracket, a hardened aluminum alloy diaphragm, and a 30mm voice coil.

Inside, Edifier is using two Texas Instruments TAS5754M Class D amplifiers to handle the amplification, one per driver type, and both can process digital signals at sampling rates up to 192kHz.

For inputs, you’re getting RCA line-in and 3.5mm AUX (through a Texas Instruments PCM1802 ADC that supports up to 96kHz/24-bit), plus Toslink optical and USB-C digital inputs that go up to 216kHz sampling and can handle 192kHz/24-bit audio. Connectivity includes Bluetooth 5.1, which supports courtesy of a Qualcomm QCC3031 chip with aptX HD support, so wireless listening shouldn’t feel like a downgrade from wired.

Build and specs

Design-wise, the cabinet is built from 18mm MDF lined with wave-shaped sound-absorbing cotton to cut down on resonance and stray standing waves. There’s also a SUB OUT port if you want to add a subwoofer for bigger rooms.

Edifier Airpulse A80V Launch Specs Price

The speaker is rated between 52Hz-20kHz frequency response, with a signal-to-noise ratio of at least 90dB(A) on both channels. Each pair weighs 9.3kg, and the cabinets measure 140 x 255 x 238mm.

Price and availability

The Edifier Airpulse A80V is already available for purchase in China for 2,879 yuan (about $402). There’s no word on its global availability yet.

Aug 4, 2026

Bambu Lab is officially establishing its presence in India with the launch of a new desktop 3D printer aimed at creators, educators, designers, and small businesses. The company has introduced the A2L, its largest open-bed desktop 3D printer so far, while reinforcing its long-term commitment to one of the world’s fastest-growing maker communities.

Bambu Lab A2L arrives with a much larger build volume

Although Bambu Lab is formally introducing its brand in India now, its products have already been available in the country through authorized channel partners for nearly two years. The A2L, which went on sale in India earlier this week, is designed for users who need more space than conventional desktop 3D printers can provide. It features a 330 × 320 × 325 mm build volume, delivering 105 percent more printable space than standard 256 mm-class machines. The larger print area allows users to create bigger models, print multiple parts simultaneously, and complete projects without splitting them into separate sections.

The printer is also equipped with several technologies designed to improve print quality and reliability. Adaptive Vibration Compensation automatically adjusts performance based on toolhead movement and changing bed loads, while built-in granular dampers reduce vibration during high-speed printing. A closed-loop PMSM servo extruder continuously monitors filament flow to detect feeding issues before they affect print quality. Additional monitoring systems include nozzle clog detection, nozzle clumping detection, tangled spool detection, and filament run-out detection. Despite its larger footprint, the A2L operates at less than 49 dB in Silent Mode.

Beyond 3D printing, the A2L supports optional Blade Cutting and Pen Drawing modules, allowing users to cut materials such as leather, fabric, and stickers or convert the machine into a precision drawing tool. It also supports multiple Automatic Material System units for multi-color printing with intelligent filament management. The printer integrates with Bambu Studio, the MakerWorld model library, and the Bambu Handy mobile app for remote monitoring and control.

The Bambu Lab A2L is priced at Rs. 48,999 (~$515), while the A2L Combo costs Rs. 65,999 (~$690) in India through the company’s authorized channel partners.

These OnePlus devices won’t receive ColorOS 17 (Android 17) update

By

Aug 4, 2026

OnePlus has confirmed that the next major OS upgrade for its devices will come with the ColorOS 17 skin instead of OxygenOS 17. The rollout is expected to begin in the coming weeks, but unfortunately, the update won’t reach many OnePlus devices.

The OxygenOS 16 update, based on Android 16, was the last major upgrade for many OnePlus devices, and therefore, they aren’t eligible for future major upgrades, including ColorOS 17. The list includes flagship phones such as the OnePlus 11R, 10R, and 10 Pro, as well as a couple of Nord series phones.

Take a look at the list below to find out if you will need a hardware upgrade soon.

List of OnePlus devices that are not eligible for the ColorOS 17 update

This list has been prepared after carefully reviewing the software update policy for every OnePlus device, and so it must be accurate.

OnePlus flagship phones

OnePlus 11R
OnePlus 10R
OnePlus 10T
OnePlus 10 Pro

OnePlus Nord series

OnePlus Nord 3
OnePlus Nord CE 4
OnePlus Nord CE 4 Lite

OnePlus Pad series

OnePlus Pad
OnePlus Pad Go

To keep the list short and relevant, we’ve only included OnePlus devices that received the OxygenOS 16 update but are not eligible for ColorOS 17.

If your OnePlus device is on the list above, it may be time to start thinking about an upgrade. The device should still receive security patches for a while, but it won’t have access to the newest features, visual upgrades, and AI capabilities that come with major upgrades.

There are some excellent OnePlus phones in the market, promising up to four major OS upgrades. Most recent flagship phones are covered by that promise, and it also extends to some Nord phones. That means you don’t need to spend a premium just to get long-term software support. Click here to check the full list of OnePlus phones that promise four major Android upgrades.

We’ll keep updating you with the latest details in our OnePlus section. Remember to visit the page from time to time, or join our Telegram channel to receive instant alerts.

Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro and Pad 8S Pro clear key regulatory hurdle, launch imminent

Aug 4, 2026

The Xiaomi Pad 9 received 3C certification in China a couple of weeks ago. Following up, two new Xiaomi tablets have now made their way into China’s MIIT database.

The models listed are 2612CRPFFC and M367FC, and if a Weibo post is to go by, they are the Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro and Pad 8S Pro, respectively.

Xiaomi Pad 8S Pro MIIT certification — Xiaomi Pad 8S Pro

Xiaomi Pad 9 MIIT Certification — Xiaomi Pad 8S Pro

Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro / Pad 8S Pro MIIT certification

The certification shows the Pad 9 Pro supports up to 67W in charging. In comparison, the Pad 9 caps out at a maximum of 45W.

The M367FC, meanwhile, supports up to 120W charging, and that lines it up with everything we’ve likely already heard about the Xiaomi Pad 8S Pro. According to the previous report, the tablet will feature a 12.5-inch 3.2K LCD screen, a 12,000mAh battery, a 32MP front camera, and a 50MP main camera paired with a 2MP secondary sensor.

Meanwhile, a separate leak shows the parts of the Pad 8S Pro About screen, and it’s shown running the company’s in-house XRING O3 chipset. It also confirms the above-mentioned specs, and the tablet will run on HyperOS 4 based on Android 17.

Xiaomi Pad 8s Pro Specs — Xiaomi Pad 8S Pro

As for the standard Pad 9, the tablet is tipped with a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip, the same 45W charging speed as the outgoing Pad 8, and a battery bump to 9,720mAh.

Nothing here confirms a launch date, but clearing MIIT is usually one of the last regulatory steps before a device goes on sale in China. Given how close together these certifications are landing, you can probably expect Xiaomi to talk about both tablets alongside its next flagship phone launch rather than as a standalone event. We will keep you in the loop for anything new we learn.

Oppo A7 Pro Max vs Redmi Note 17 Pro Max: Which Battery Beast Offers Better Value?

By

Anvinraj Valiyathara

Aug 4, 2026

Oppo has officially raised the bar for battery capacity in mid-range smartphones with the launch of the Oppo A7 Pro Max 5G in China. Debuting as the brand’s first phone to sport a massive 10,000mAh Glacier Battery, Oppo has timed this launch right before Xiaomi unveils its highly anticipated competitor, the Redmi Note 17 Pro Max 5G.

While Redmi prepares for the official launch in China and global markets, the specifications of the global edition of the Redmi Note 17 Pro Max have already leaked via official-looking promo material. The Chinese variant of the Note 17 Pro Max is expected to share identical core specifications with its global counterpart, barring a potentially larger battery capacity for the Chinese market.

Oppo A7 Pro Max vs Redmi Note 17 Pro Max

Here is a detailed head-to-head comparison between the Oppo A7 Pro Max and the Redmi Note 17 Pro Max to see which battery behemoth offers the better overall package.

1Design and Build

Oppo A7 Pro Max: 162.98 x 77.97 x 8.57 mm, weighs 224g to 226g, features toughened Crystal Shield glass, IP66/IP68/IP69/IP69K dust and water resistance ratings.
Redmi Note 17 Pro Max: 163.44 x 78.27 x 8.65 mm, weighs 229.5g, utilizes Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, and offers IP66/IP68/IP69/IP69K certification along with 3-meter drop resistance.

Both smartphones push the boundaries of durability by offering complete quad-level IP rating certifications (IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K), ensuring top-tier resistance against immersion, hot water jets, and dust. The Redmi Note 17 Pro Max takes structural resilience a step further by incorporating Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 with certified 3-meter drop resistance.

On the ergonomics side, despite housing massive battery capacities, both brands have managed to keep the physical thickness around 8.57 mm. However, Oppo edges out slightly in weight, keeping its package a few grams lighter despite packing a bigger cell.

Winner: Redmi Note 17 Pro Max | Superior Corning Victus 2 protection

Huawei Mate 90 Pro Max may retain side-mounted fingerprint in 2026, key specs leak

Aug 4, 2026

Huawei’s Mate 90 series has previously been tipped to launch in September, separate from the Mate XT2 tri-fold. A new Weibo leak has now revealed the key specs of the Huawei Mate 90 Pro Max.

The leak confirms the Mate 90 Pro Max will run on the Kirin 9050 Pro based on the “logical folding” architecture that Huawei teased a while ago. Instead of packing more transistors into a smaller area the traditional way, Huawei is stacking circuits into a 3D structure, effectively trading spatial miniaturization for what it calls time miniaturization.

Compared to the Kirin 9030 Pro in last year’s Mate 80 series, transistor density has reportedly increased by 53.5%, chip area shrunk by 37.5%, and power consumption at matching performance drops by 41%. This should lead to better performance and efficiency.

Huawei Mate 90 Pro Max Specifications (Expected)

On the display side, the maker is reportedly using a 6.9-inch dual-layer OLED panel at 1.5K resolution. It will have LTPO for adaptive refresh rates and large rounded corners on a flat screen.

The leak says the battery capacity will range from 6800mAh to 7000mAh, paired with 100W fast charging and WiFi 7 support. The software side will be handled by the new HarmonyOS 7, which brings a new assistant called Xiaoyi along with added gaming features and a gaming console layer built into the OS that Huawei says will keep getting updates over time.

On cameras, the rear setup could include a 200MP main sensor, a 40MP ultra-wide camera, a 50MP dual-telephoto pair, and a third-generation red maple color camera, with a 15MP ultra-wide front camera and 3D face recognition for unlocking.

Design-wise, it’s expected to feature a new square camera module. However, the new Mate may not have an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner this generation either, as it’s said to feature a side-mounted biometric like the Mate 80 series.

Huawei hasn’t confirmed a launch date for the Mate 90 series yet; instead, it’s holding a launch event tomorrow for new Mate PCs and the GT 7 smartwatch.

It goes without saying that the biggest highlight is its 10,000mAh Glacier Battery, which uses Oppo’s proprietary spherical silicon-carbon battery technology. It supports 80W SuperVOOC fast charging, 80W UFCS charging, and 27W reverse charging.

Other notable features include an in-display optical fingerprint sensor, stereo speakers with up to 300% volume, NFC, an IR blaster, Wi-Fi 5, IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K ratings, an AI-powered outdoor mode 2.0, and ColorOS 16-flavored Android 16.

Oppo A7 Pro Max price and availability

The Oppo A7 Pro Max comes in Wave Rider, Orange Glow, and Mountain Black color options. It is priced at 2,199 Yuan (~$325) for the 8GB+128GB model, 2,699 Yuan (~$400) for the 12GB+ 56GB variant, and 2,999 Yuan (~ $445) for the 12GB+512GB version.

Poco M8 Power launches in India with a massive 8,000mAh battery

Aug 4, 2026

Xiaomi’s subsidiary Poco today announced its new Poco M8 Power smartphone in India. It is a big-battery phone with 8000mAh capacity that Poco claims delivers up to three days of power.

You’d expect an 8,000mAh cell to make a phone feel like a brick, but Poco has kept things surprisingly trim here. The back panel is plastic, with a wide camera bar running across the width of the phone that houses two circular cutouts for the camera and flash, plus the Poco logo. Despite all that battery inside, the phone comes in at just over 8.4mm thick and weighs around 220 grams.

Poco M8 Power Specifications

Up front, you get a 6.9-inch FHD+ AMOLED panel running at 120Hz, with peak brightness hitting 1,800 nits and 960Hz PWM dimming to ease eye strain in low light.

Poco also claims the screen covers the full DCI-P3 colour range. Gorilla Glass 7i sits on top, and the phone carries IP65 protection against dust and light splashes.

Inside, you get a Snapdragon 4 Gen 4 chip paired with LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 2.2 storage. You get 45W wired charging support, and the phone can even reverse-charge other gadgets at 22.5W.

On the back, you’re getting a 50MP main camera, while an 8MP shooter handles selfies. Both cap out at 1080p video. Software-wise, the phone ships on HyperOS 3 over Android 16, and Poco is promising four years of OS updates and six years of security patches. You also get an IR blaster and AI tools like Circle to Search along for the ride.

Price and availability

The Poco M8 Power starts at Rs 24,999 for the 6GB/128GB variant, while the 8GB/128GB model costs Rs 27,999. Poco is also throwing in bank offers worth Rs 3,000 on top to sweeten the deal. Sales kick off on August 7, 2026, exclusively through Flipkart.

Redmi K100 Pro early hands-on shows how the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen5V handles gaming

By

Rajesh Regmi

-

Aug 4, 2026

Redmi just confirmed that the K100 Pro is the first phone to run the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen5V, a trimmed-down cousin of the chip that’s inside the K100 Pro Max. Now that the phone is out in the wild ahead of its official reveal, tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS) has shared an early hands-on look at how it actually performs.

Start with the chip itself. The 8 Elite Gen5V keeps the same TSMC N3P process and 4.6GHz dual-core Oryon setup as the standard chip, so the CPU side is untouched.

The Adreno 840 GPU is where things are different. While the clock speed is the same, Qualcomm has trimmed the slice count from three to two and Graphics Memory (GMEM) shrinks from 18MB to 12MB. On paper, that reportedly puts benchmark scores at roughly 90% of the full 8 Elite Gen5.

Redmi K100 Pro gaming performance with new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen5V chip

You’d expect that cut to show up in games, but DCS says it barely does. Since the CPU wasn’t touched, frame rates in popular titles are as high as the full 8 Elite Gen 5.

In Honor of Kings, DCS claims the K100 Pro averaged 144fps while drawing just 4W. Game for Peace hit 183fps at 4.5W, and Delta Force reached 185fps at 4.7W. Even Genshin Impact held a steady 60fps average, with only minor dips during heavy combat.

Redmi K100 Pro Gaming Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen5V

The K100 Pro also has the D2 discrete graphics chip and 185Hz RGB OLED screen found on the pricier K100 Pro Max, and DCS notes that its super-frame-rate performance and latency come close to matching that phone despite the smaller 6.59-inch panel.

None of this is official yet. Redmi has confirmed the chip and launch date of August 11, but hasn’t detailed the Gen5V’s gaming performance itself, so treat DCS’s numbers as an early, unofficial preview until Redmi shares its own figures.

Honor Robot Phone full specs out a week before launch

By

-

Aug 4, 2026

You’ve already seen the Honor’s Robot Phone robotic arm pop out of the box and heard what the camera is capable of. A new leak from tipster Digital Chat Station now fills in the rest of the spec sheet.

Honor Robot Phone Specifications

Start with the display. Honor is using a 6.3-inch LTPO panel with a 2640 x 1216 resolution, and it’s a flat screen rather than a curved one. Its brightness will reportedly peak at 6,800 nits, and Honor might also add an AR anti-reflective film to keep the screen readable in direct sunlight.

Under the hood, you get the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, paired with a 7,060mAh battery and a 120W charging adapter in the box. That’s larger than the 6,000mAh figure that showed up in earlier leaks, so the battery capacity appears to have changed as the phone neared launch.

Honor is also using a trio of its self-developed chips in the Robot Phone. The device has a C1 chip to handle RF signal enhancement, E2 to manage power efficiency, and H1 to run the imaging pipeline for the gimbal camera.

The main sensor is a 200MP, 1/1.28-inch unit at f/1.6 with a 23mm focal length, mounted on the gimbal arm. Next to it is a 200MP periscope telephoto with a 1/1.4-inch sensor, f/2.6 aperture, and 2.7x optical zoom.

With the August 12 launch date already confirmed, this leak looks like one of the last spec details to surface before the official reveal. The gimbal camera has been the headline so far, but the display and battery numbers round out a fuller picture of the phone.

Aug 4, 2026

We have now got a clear look at the Redmi 17 5G before it even launches. A fresh set of renders, shared by tech outlet 91mobiles, shows the phone in three colors: orange, black, and blue.

The former uses a vegan leather back that should feel grippier in hand than the glossy finishes on the black and blue versions. Size-wise, the phone measures 170.12 × 74.42 × 8.8 mm and weighs 235 grams.

Redmi 17 5G Specifications

The report also shares the phone’s specs. On the front, you get a 6.9-inch LCD screen running at 1600 × 720 resolution. It’s flexible on refresh rate too, switching between 60Hz, 90Hz, and 120Hz depending on what you’re doing. Brightness sits at 675 nits for everyday use, and it can push up to 825 nits when you need it in direct sunlight.

Power comes from a 4nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 5, clocked up to 2.45GHz. The software side is handled by HyperOS 3 based on Android 16. For photos, you get a 50-megapixel AI main camera paired with a QVGA sensor that handles anti-flicker duties, plus an 8-megapixel front camera for selfies and video calls.

Keeping the phone running is a 7500mAh cell with 45W charging support. The report, however, says the charger won’t be included in the box.

For durability, Redmi will offer Corning Gorilla Glass 7i protection on the front and an IP64 dust and water resistance rating. There’s also mention of a dynamic RGB LED for notifications and visual effects.

Rounding things out, you get dual nano SIM support with 5G and 4G compatibility, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.1, and NFC. There’s also a 3.5mm headphone jack and stereo speakers, so you won’t need an adapter or a Bluetooth pair just to plug in your headphones.

Motorola G Max to pack different specs in India, launch timeframe, price emerge

Aug 4, 2026

Motorola could soon introduce another G-series smartphone in India. According to a new leak, the upcoming Motorola G Max is expected to debut around mid-August with a different hardware configuration than the version that launched in Brazil earlier this year. The tip also hints at its expected pricing, placing it in the upper mid-range segment.

Motorola G Max India specifications tipped

Tipster Abhishek Yadav claims that the Motorola G Max will launch in India around August 15 and carry a price tag of approximately Rs 30,000 (~$315). Unlike the Brazilian model, which is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6400, the Indian variant is said to feature the Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 chipset, which also powers the Redmi Note 17 Pro. The phone is also tipped to come with LPDDR5X RAM, UFS 3.1 storage, and a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-600 primary camera.

Motorola is also expected to offer two major Android OS upgrades and three years of security updates. While this software policy aligns with what many brands currently provide in the segment, the hardware suggests Motorola may be positioning the Indian model differently from its global counterpart.

India variant may differ significantly from the Brazil model

The Motorola G Max launched in Brazil with the Dimensity 6400 chipset, 8GB RAM, and 256GB storage. It also featured a 200-megapixel primary camera with OIS, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera, a 32-megapixel front camera, a 5,200mAh battery with 33W charging, and a 6.8-inch 1.5K AMOLED display supporting a 120Hz refresh rate, Gorilla Glass 7i protection, and up to 5,000 nits of peak brightness. The device also carries IP66, IP68, IP69, and MIL-STD-810H durability certifications.

If the leaked specifications prove accurate, the Indian Motorola G Max could prioritize affordability over flagship-grade camera hardware while retaining premium memory technologies.

Redmi has teased another standout feature of the upcoming K100 Pro ahead of its Aug. 11 launch in China. Recently, the brand showcased the Cabernet Red variant of the K100 Pro Max, now it has revealed the K100 Pro for the first time in a unique color option called Glowing Firefly, introducing a distinctive glow-in-the-dark rear panel that offers more than just a different look. The teaser also reinforces several display and hardware details that have already been confirmed for the device.

Glow-in-the-dark design revealed

The new Glowing Firefly color features a fluorescent green finish that changes its appearance depending on the lighting. Redmi says it has placed a special luminescent material between the glass back and the green ink layer, allowing the rear panel to act as a “light painting canvas.”

After absorbing light from a flashlight or another bright source, the back panel glows in the dark, enabling users to create temporary glowing patterns. During the day, the phone has a translucent green finish, while the effect becomes visible in low-light conditions. Redmi has also matched the metal frame and camera island with the same green color, giving the phone a more uniform appearance. Apart from the Glowing Firefly, it will also have a sliver edition.

Redmi has also reiterated that the K100 Pro will feature a 6.59-inch flat OLED display using the new M11 light-emitting material. The panel adopts the company’s “Super Pixel” full RGB sub-pixel arrangement and supports a 185Hz refresh rate, a 4,800Hz instant touch sampling rate, and a peak brightness of 4,500 nits. Redmi claims the new green light-emitting material improves luminous efficiency by 20 percent over the previous generation.

The company has also confirmed that the K100 Pro will be powered by the new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 V-series chipset alongside an AI gaming display chip. Previous teasers have revealed an AnTuTu V11 benchmark score of 4.095 million. Other expected features include a 200-megapixel rear camera, an over 8,000mAh battery with 50W wireless charging, a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, IP-rated water resistance, and telephoto macro photography support.

Gaming-focused Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 V-series chip quietly goes official

Aug 4, 2026

Qualcomm has quietly listed a new variant of its flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 V-series chipset on its official website. Carrying the model number SM8850-1-AB, the new silicon is confirmed to power the upcoming Redmi K100 Pro series. While it shares most of its specifications with the regular Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, Qualcomm appears to be positioning it differently, with a greater emphasis on gaming.

Same performance, but gaming takes centre stage

According to Qualcomm’s official product brief, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 V-series chip (SM8850-1-AB) features the same CPU and GPU configuration as the regular 4.6GHz Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. It includes two Oryon prime cores clocked at up to 4.6GHz, six performance cores running at up to 3.62GHz, and an Adreno GPU operating at 1.2GHz. The chipset also retains the same Hexagon NPU, X85 5G modem, FastConnect 7900 connectivity system, LPDDR5X memory support, UFS 4.1 storage compatibility, and Qualcomm Spectra ISP found on the standard variant.

The only documented hardware difference between the two versions is Adreno High Performance Memory (HPM). The regular Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 features 18MB of dedicated Adreno HPM, whereas the SM8850-1-AB includes 12MB. Aside from this, Qualcomm lists the same core hardware specifications for both chipsets.

The new gaming-focused version joins three other Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 variants already available. The SM8850-AC is the standard version used in most flagship smartphones, while the SM8850-1-AD is the higher-clocked edition found in Samsung flagship devices as well as Red Magic and Legion gaming phones. Qualcomm also offers the SM8850-5-AC, a 7-core variant powering the Oppo Find N6 foldable. With the arrival of the SM8850-1-AB, Qualcomm now offers manufacturers another option for flagship phones that prioritize gaming performance without changing the platform’s core CPU and GPU frequencies.

While Qualcomm promotes the regular and the new SM8850-1-AB variants with the tagline “Game smarter, not harder,” the official documentation show that gaming technologies such as Tile Memory Heap, Mesh Shading, Unreal Engine 5 optimizations, Snapdragon Game Super Resolution 2.0, Adreno Frame Motion Engine 3.0, and hardware-accelerated ray tracing are also available on the regular Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.

The Redmi K100 Pro series, which is set to launch on Aug. 11 in China, will be the first smartphone lineup to feature this new chipset variant. It remains to be seen whether more brands adopt the gaming-optimized platform in upcoming flagship devices. What seems certain is that the Poco F9 Pro and F9 Ultra, which will be rebranded versions of the K100 Pro and K100 Pro Max, will feature the same chip.
