Apple’s thinnest iPhone, the iPhone Air, has just faced one of the harshest durability trials—JerryRigEverything’s infamous bend test. At only 5.6mm thick, many feared the ultra-slim design would revive memories of the iPhone 6 Plus “Bendgate” saga. But thanks to its titanium middle frame, the slimmest iPhone held up impressively—at least until JerryRigEverything pushed it to the limit. In his latest durability test, the iPhone Air went through an unusual round of torture, and the result might surprise you.

The durability run began with scratches. Apple’s new Ceramic Shield 2 glass held up impressively, resisting marks until level 7 on the Mohs hardness scale. That’s a step above most phones, including Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Ultra with Gorilla Armor 2, which showed scratches at level 6. Nelson even joked, “Apple ruined my line,” since his go-to scratch commentary didn’t quite apply here.

However, not every claim lived up to expectations. Apple’s much-touted anti-reflective coating didn’t perform as well as promised. Under bright lighting, it showed more glare than Samsung’s older Galaxy S24 Ultra, leaving a small dent in Apple’s otherwise strong display performance.

Then came the big moment—the bend test. Apple has been promoting the Air’s grade 5 titanium frame as being twice as rigid and 60% more elastic than aluminum. When Nelson applied pressure from the back, the frame barely budged. Bending it from the front produced some flex, but the phone quickly returned to shape without permanent damage.

Of course, Nelson pushed things further. Using a crane scale, he applied up to 216 pounds (about 98kg) of force, which finally cracked the front glass and bent the frame beyond recovery. Even then, the back glass didn’t shatter, and the phone remained operational.

The iPhone Air has proven that being thin doesn’t have to mean fragile. With a titanium frame and stronger Ceramic Shield 2 glass, it easily shrugs off normal daily abuse and puts fears of a “Bendgate 2.0” to rest. The only real disappointment is the anti-reflective coating, which doesn’t live up to Apple’s marketing. Still, durability-wise, the iPhone Air stands as one of the toughest devices in Apple’s 2025 lineup.

Xiaomi Air Conditioners Just Got a Huge Upgrade: 10-Year Free Warranty

By

Sep 20, 2025

Xiaomi just pulled off something that has the entire air conditioning industry doing double-takes. They’ve extended their warranty on all Mijia air conditioners in China from 6 years to 10 years of free coverage, and here’s the kicker: it applies to people who already bought them too.

When Lu Weibing, one of Xiaomi’s top executives, made this announcement during a livestream, it caught the industry off guard. This covers everything, wall units, tower styles, and even those complicated central air systems that usually get minimal coverage.

The wild part? If you installed a Mijia AC anytime after January 1st, 2025, you’re automatically covered. Bought yours in 2024, but installed it this year? You’re in too.

When Xiaomi says free, they mean it. No repair fees, no service charges, no surprise costs. Free diagnostics, parts, labor, and even refrigerant refills. The catch? It only covers performance failures due to product quality issues, not damage you cause yourself. But for manufacturing defects and natural wear, you’re completely covered for a decade.

Xiaomi sold 7.5 million AC units this year. Their extended warranty usually costs 200 yuan ($28) per unit. By offering this for free, they’re giving away 1.5 billion yuan ($210 million) worth of service coverage. That’s a massive bet on customer loyalty.

Lu Weibing didn’t just announce a policy; he threw down the gauntlet to every AC manufacturer, calling them out to stop cherry-picking warranty coverage and start treating customers fairly.

For anyone who’s dealt with appliance warranty headaches, this sounds refreshing. No fine print, no discovering your model doesn’t qualify.

This feels bigger than marketing. Xiaomi is so confident in their quality that they’re backing it with real money for real people. By making it retroactive, they’re showing existing customers that loyalty goes both ways.

Baseus PicoGo 100W fast charger launched with three ports and a mini display

By

-

Sep 20, 2025

Baseus is rolling out a new fast charger called the PicoGo AE21 Digital Display Fast Charger. It’s already on sale in China and is now heading to Europe and North America with a price tag of €59.99 in the EU.

The charger uses GaN tech to stay compact and efficient while still pushing out plenty of power. It has two USB-C ports, each supporting up to 100W, plus a USB-A port rated at 33W. That means you can charge a laptop and a phone at the same time, or even run two laptops if needed—though in that case the USB-A shuts off and the two Type-C ports split the output, with 65W on the first port and 35W on the second.

If the connected devices don’t demand that much—say a Galaxy S25, which tops out at 25W—the charger adjusts to a 45W + 30W split across the USB-C ports while keeping the USB-A active at 18W. That’s enough to charge a phone, a power bank, and a pair of earbuds at once, all at decent speeds.

But what makes this fast charger stand out is the little digital display on the front. It shows live charging data like voltage, wattage, and even temperature, so you can see exactly how your devices are pulling power. Baseus says it uses graphene materials and smart thermal controls to keep heat under control, even when running at full tilt.

Despite packing all this, the PicoGo stays compact. It measures 6.7 x 3.3 x 5.3 cm and has foldable prongs, so it’s easy to toss into a bag without adding bulk.

For anyone who needs one charger to handle a laptop, a phone, and maybe a pair of earbuds all at once, the PicoGo looks like a strong option. With a global launch expected soon, it might be one of the more practical travel chargers you’ll see this year.

One UI 8.5 spotted on Galaxy S25 Ultra

By

-

Sep 20, 2025

Just days after the stable One UI 8 rollout began for the Galaxy S25 series, traces of One UI 8.5 have been spotted on the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The early appearance suggests Samsung is moving faster than usual with its mid-cycle software refresh.

The stable One UI 8, built on Android 16, brings tweaks to Galaxy AI, more customization tools, and smoother performance. The rollout is still making its way across regions. But while users are still waiting for that, a test build for One UI 8.5 has already popped up on Samsung’s servers.

The firmware carries the version number S938BXXU5CYIA/S938BOXM5CYIA/S938BXXU5CYIA. It can’t be downloaded—Samsung patched the loophole that once allowed sideloading test builds—but its presence is enough to confirm development is well underway.

So what’s in it? Nothing official yet, but past mid-cycle updates have brought UI refinements, smoother animations, and extra Galaxy AI features. It’s possible One UI 8.5 will follow the same path.

Interestingly, developer @Feruzbek_101 managed to get a test build running on his Galaxy S21+. He shared a few images that reveal some of the early UI tweaks.

Samsung is also working in parallel on the Galaxy S26 series, which means One UI 8.5 might launch first with that hardware before it reaches current S25 owners. If so, it could be early 2026 before S25 Ultra users see the stable version.

Still, the fact that it’s already showing up is a good sign. Samsung’s software teams are clearly pushing updates quicker, keeping pressure on rivals like Google and Xiaomi. Expect more leaks in the coming months.

OnePlus 15’s middle frame claimed to have a coating 4x harder than titanium

By

-

Sep 20, 2025

The OnePlus 15 may look and feel quite different from its predecessor, the OnePlus 13. A new report from tipster Digital Chat Station, who claims to have gone hands-on with the upcoming flagship, points to some notable changes in both design and materials.

OnePlus 13 Arctic Dawn — OnePlus 15 render

According to the leaker’s post on Weibo, the OnePlus 15 will feature a flat display with rounded corners and is described as “much smaller” than the 6.9-inch iPhone 17 Pro Max. Previous leaks suggested a 6.78-inch screen, slightly more compact than the 6.82-inch panel on the OnePlus 13 (review).

Interestingly, the middle frame is said to use a special coating that’s “four times harder than titanium.” It reportedly comes in a matte, earthy tone inspired by Dune, moving away from the glossy finish of the OnePlus 13.

The biggest uncertainty surrounds the camera housing. Early rumors hinted at a square module — a shift from the round layout of the OnePlus 13 — but Digital Chat Station now suggests those renders were inaccurate. The actual design remains under wraps, leaving fans waiting for OnePlus to confirm the details.

Under the hood, things appear clearer. The OnePlus 15 is expected to run on Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. Benchmark listings spotted earlier indicate about a 20% boost in CPU performance compared to the Snapdragon 8 Elite inside the OnePlus 13, promising smoother multitasking, gaming, and AI-powered features.

OnePlus is set to unveil the phone in October 2025. If these leaks prove accurate, the company’s next flagship could deliver a refreshed design alongside a major performance upgrade — though the final word will only come once OnePlus makes it official.

Sep 20, 2025

SanDisk has launched a new lineup of portable solid-state drives under the ELE series name in China. The new drives serve as a direct successor to the popular WD Elements SE series, which existed before the split between Western Digital and SanDisk.

SanDisk ELE SSD Specifications

The SanDisk ELE series portable SSD features sequential read speeds of up to 400MB/s. This makes the drive approximately 2.5 times faster than conventional external hard drives. It is available in two storage options: 1TB and 2TB.

The drive is built to handle everyday storage needs, including file transfers, mobile content creation, and general productivity. It uses a USB 5Gbps interface and supports both USB Type-A and Type-C connectivity. SanDisk includes a Type-C adapter in the box.

SanDisk has designed the drive with portability in mind. The ELE SSD has a square body measuring 64.5mm on each side, with a thickness of 8.7mm.

One UI 8.5 leaked video shows plenty of UI changes

By

Vicky

-

Sep 20, 2025

The stable One UI 8 rollout has just begun, but leaks have already started revealing important details about its next iteration, One UI 8.5. We already know that Samsung has been working on it for months, and recently, the Galaxy S25 Ultra was spotted on the test server with One UI 8.5 build. Now, a leaked video has surfaced on the internet, giving us our first look at the software well ahead of its official release.

A developer, @Feruzbek_101, was able to somehow modify the One UI 8.5 internal beta build and run it on a Galaxy S21+. The video shared by him reveals Samsung is making UI changes across various apps and functions, including the Settings app, Galaxy Themes, and Studio Editor.

The changes become visible right from the boot screen. There’s a new One UI 8.5 logo on the boot screen with gradients around it, giving it a colorful experience. Samsung has been showing a minimalist “Samsung Galaxy” text on the boot screen for years. It’s good that Samsung’s making some changes there.

The Setting app is also getting some notable UI tweaks. The menu options are now compact, and there are no subtitle texts as well. The search bar is now located at the bottom, which is easier to reach, and there’s an overflow gradient on both top and bottom edges. There are also drop shadows on all containers and the search bar. The expanded search page now shows different categories in a three-column grid.

More changes are visible inside the Settings app when you tap on a specific item. The back button floats above the content and gets a drop shadow of its own, which looks similar to iOS 26. Furthermore, the One UI Home Screen page within the Settings page replaces the dummy icons with real ones.

The Phone app may be getting a big UI overhaul in One UI 8.5. As the video shows, the traditional three-tab structure is replaced with a pill-shaped design, making it easier to access options while also extending the screen’s usability. The Galaxy Studio is also getting a pill-shaped UI element. This could be implemented in more stock apps to offer users a streamlined user experience.

One UI 8.5 also brings design changes to the Galaxy Themes app. The app launch page features a giant brush icon, perhaps aiming to convey a colorful and tweaking vibe. Inside, the app shows pill-shaped buttons. The Device Care section gets a revamped UI, featuring a card design for the device health status. The individual options below show long progress bars.

You can click this link to watch the complete leaked video of One UI 8.5.

The One U 8.5 is currently in an early phase of development, and therefore, these changes are not final yet. The stable build is expected to debut with the Galaxy S26 series in early 2026. That’s when we’ll see the full version of One UI 8.5 along with all new features and upgrades.

Remember to regularly visit our One UI 8.5 section for the latest updates on this topic. You can also follow us on Telegram to stay on top of the latest tech trends and updates.

Sep 20, 2025

Huawei launched the Nova Flip last year as its most affordable foldable. It looks like the company is now working on its successor. According to reliable tipster Digital Chat Station, the company is working on a new device called the Nova Flip S.

The device will reportedly come in multiple memory options: 12GB of RAM paired with 256GB, 512GB, or even 1TB of storage. The color option is said to include Sakura Pink, Zero White, Sky Blue, Starry Black, Feather Sand Black, and New Green.

On the software front, the phone will run HarmonyOS 5.0, Huawei’s latest operating system. The original Nova Flip launched with the Kirin 8 series chipset, and while this leak doesn’t confirm the processor for the Flip S, it’s reasonable to expect an upgraded chip for smoother performance.

As for price, Digital Chat Station suggests the Nova Flip S will land somewhere around 5,000 yuan (roughly $700 USD).

Huawei Nova Flip Specifications

While other specs of Nova Flip S are yet to come, let’s take a quick recap of the specs of Nova Flip. The device measures 169.8 x 75.4 x 6.9 mm when unfolded and 87.6 x 75.4 x 15.1 mm folded, weighing about 195g.

It features a 6.94-inch LTPO OLED foldable display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 2.14-inch OLED cover screen. The main camera system includes a 50MP wide lens with OIS and an 8MP ultrawide lens, while the front houses a 32MP selfie camera capable of 4K video.

Other highlights include stereo speakers, no headphone jack, Wi-Fi 6 support, NFC, and a 4400mAh battery with 66W fast charging and 5W reverse charging. Security was handled by a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.

Galaxy S25 Ultra vs iPhone 17 Pro Max: zoom test shakes things up

By

-

Sep 20, 2025

Samsung and Apple have gone head-to-head in another camera battle, this time focused on zoom. Popular reviewer SuperSaf recently compared the Galaxy S25 Ultra and iPhone 17 Pro Max across different zoom ranges, and the outcome wasn’t quite what many expected.

Starting at 3x zoom, Samsung looked strong. Thanks to its dedicated telephoto lens, the S25 Ultra produced crisper and more natural images than Apple, which relies on a crop from the main sensor at that level. For anyone shooting quick portraits or closer details, Samsung has the early edge.

Things turned around at 4x. That’s where Apple brings in its own telephoto hardware, and the results were immediately sharper and cleaner than Samsung’s hybrid approach. From 4x through about 4.9x, the iPhone delivered photos with noticeably better definition and less noise.

At 5x, both phones came out nearly tied, with similar sharpness and detail. From there up to 10x, it was hard to declare a clear winner, as both held up well in everyday scenarios.

When zooming way in at 20x and even 40x, the Galaxy S25 Ultra started to show its strength again. Under good lighting, Samsung’s image processing pulled out finer details, especially when capturing distant signs or text.

But in low light, the iPhone stole the show. Its larger telephoto sensor consistently produced brighter, more usable shots at every zoom level, while the S25 Ultra struggled with grain and artifacts due to artificial sharpening.

In the end, Samsung still has the edge in extreme daylight zoom, but Apple’s strong noise control, especially in low-light, makes this one of the closest battles yet between the two brands.

For those curious, here’s a comparison between the S25 Ultra and last year’s iPhone 16 Pro Max, which shows just how much Apple has improved with the latest model. On Samsung’s side, the upcoming S26 Ultra, expected in January, is rumored to keep almost the same imaging hardware as the S25 Ultra, with a stronger push toward AI-based image enhancements, similar to what we’ve seen with Google’s Pixel 10 series.

Huawei FreeBuds 7i Debuts Globally with Gesture Controls, AI Call Clarity and Multi-Platform Support

By

-

Sep 19, 2025

Huawei launched the FreeBuds 7i at its Product Launch Event in Paris on September 19, 2025. The new earbuds bring gesture controls, AI-based call clarity, and support for multiple platforms.

The main feature is Intelligent Dynamic ANC 4.0. This system adjusts to background noise in real time, reacting within half a second. It uses three microphones and updated AI algorithms to cut noise levels of up to 90 dB, helping deliver clear calls even in loud environments.

The FreeBuds 7i can connect to two devices at once and work with both Android and iOS. For sound, they include 3D spatial audio powered by an Inertial Measurement Unit and head-tracking technology. This setup changes the direction of sound as the listener moves their head, creating a three-dimensional effect.

The earbuds are IP54 certified for resistance against dust and splashes, making them fit for outdoor use and workouts. Huawei has included four ear tip sizes and an ergonomic shape for longer listening comfort. For hands-free use, calls can be answered or rejected with a simple nod or shake of the head.
