Modern tablets rarely offer user-replaceable batteries, making Lenovo’s latest Android device stand out from the crowd. The Lenovo ThinkTab X11, first showcased at MWC 2026, has now gone on sale in the US, bringing a combination of durability-focused features and business-oriented capabilities to the mid-range tablet segment.

Lenovo ThinkTab X11 specifications and price

The Lenovo ThinkTab X11 features a 10.95-inch WQXGA display with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels, a 90Hz refresh rate and up to 600 nits of brightness. Powering the tablet is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor, paired with up to 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The device runs Android 16 out of the box, and Lenovo has committed to at least four years of security updates.

What makes the ThinkTab X11 different from many Android tablets is its focus on serviceability and durability. The 10,200mAh battery can be removed and replaced without requiring a screwdriver, and Lenovo also offers a battery-less operation mode for specialised use cases. The tablet carries an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance, while an optional rugged case adds MIL-STD-810H durability certification for protection against harsher environments.

The tablet comes equipped with dual USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C ports, with one supporting display output. Lenovo has also retained a 3.5mm headphone jack and a microSD card slot, features that are becoming increasingly uncommon in premium tablets. Other specifications include Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, GPS, NFC support, stereo speakers, dual microphones, a 13-megapixel rear camera with autofocus and an 8-megapixel front camera.

Lenovo is offering the ThinkTab X11 in Eclipse Black. In the US, the Wi-Fi model with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage is priced at $499, while the 5G variant with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage costs $579. The tablet also supports the Lenovo Tab Pen XE stylus, which can be stored inside the optional rugged case.

Official: ColorOS 17 may skip major UI changes as Oppo focuses on user experience refinements

Not every smartphone brand appears convinced that a dramatic visual overhaul is the next step for Android software. As reports point to some manufacturers embracing glass-inspired interface designs, Oppo has indicated that its upcoming ColorOS 17 update could place greater emphasis on refining the overall user experience.

ColorOS design chief shares sets expectations about ColorOS 17

On June 2, Digital Chat Station claimed that an upcoming Android interface, referred to as “C17”, would introduce several visual refinements. According to the tipster, the software could feature a stronger liquid glass-inspired appearance, more consistent rounded corners across the interface, enhanced light-field rendering effects and dynamic lighting animations in areas such as notifications, music playback controls and the Dynamic Island-style interface.

The tipster has now shared additional details, stating that the software may include a completely new light-field interaction system, AI-powered adaptive colour matching and glass-like interface materials. While the overall layout may not appear dramatically different at first glance, the finer visual details are said to deliver a significantly more polished look and feel.

Following the latest leak, some users speculated that the information was related to ColorOS 17. Responding to these claims, ColorOS Design Director Chen Xi clarified that the leaked description likely does not refer to Oppo’s software. He suggested that the confusion may have stemmed from the mention of light-field design, a term already associated with Oppo’s design language.

Chen added that another smartphone brand is reportedly taking a far more aggressive approach towards liquid glass-style visuals. In contrast, ColorOS 17 is expected to focus on core user experience improvements rather than major interface redesigns. He also noted that the summer development period is generally dedicated to optimising system performance and refining everyday usability, while larger feature additions are usually introduced later.

ColorOS 17 is expected to make its debut on the Oppo Find X10 series in China this September, with a wider rollout roadmap likely to follow.

Xiaomi announces new AI coding agent that actually remembers what it was doing

By

Jun 11, 2026

Xiaomi just open-sourced MiMo Code V0.1.0, its new terminal-based AI coding assistant that is trying to solve one of the biggest frustrations with AI-powered programming tools: they tend to lose track of what they’re doing the longer you work with them.

We’ve been covering Xiaomi’s MiMo journey from the very beginning. The MiMo-7B is the company’s first open-source reasoning and coding model, announced back in 2025. MiMo Code builds on that same foundation, but instead of being just a model, it’s a complete coding agent designed to help with long-running software projects directly from the terminal.

The tool is based on the open-source OpenCode project and is released under the MIT license, meaning developers are free to use, modify, and build on it. Out of the box, it includes free access to MiMo-V2.5, Xiaomi’s latest multimodal AI model, but users can also connect it to third-party services such as DeepSeek, Kimi, and GLM if they prefer a different backend.

Tackling AI’s memory problem

One of MiMo Code’s highlight features is its persistent memory system. Most AI coding assistants depend entirely on the model’s context window, and once that fills up, they start forgetting earlier decisions or conversations.

Meanwhile, MiMo code has a dedicated background subagent that continuously manages and stores context while you work. When the active conversation gets close to its limit, the subagent automatically condenses everything into a structured summary, allowing the main agent to continue without losing its place.

Xiaomi has also included a feature called /dream, which runs automatically every seven days. This launches a separate maintenance agent that reviews old sessions and memory files, removes duplicates, verifies file paths, and compresses everything into an updated long-term memory store.

Compose mode and the MiMo Harness

MiMo Code also introduces a dedicated Harness system built specifically for MiMo models. Rather than treating the AI as a generic API endpoint, the framework is designed to take advantage of the model’s underlying capabilities more directly.

That works alongside a feature called Compose mode, activated by pressing the Tab key. Instead of asking the AI to complete one step at a time, you can provide a rough idea or goal, and the agent will attempt to handle the entire workflow—from planning and design to coding, testing, and review.

Xiaomi says this approach can produce what it describes as an “industrial-grade finished product.” That’s a bold claim, but the company points to benchmark results to back it up. According to Xiaomi, MiMo Code achieved scores of 62% on SWE-Bench Pro and 73% on Terminal Bench 2, outperforming Claude Code by around five percentage points while using the same underlying base model.

The assistant also comes with built-in voice input powered by MiMo-V2.5-ASR. Users can dictate commands, fix typos, or trigger actions such as “send” and “execute” without touching the keyboard.

Getting started

You can set up MiMo Code very simply. On macOS and Linux, installation requires a single terminal command, while Windows users can install it through npm. Once it’s installed, launching the tool is as simple as typing mimo in the terminal.

The initial setup automatically guides users through model configuration, and Xiaomi says the free MiMo-V2.5 channel can be used without creating an account or going through a registration process.

OnePlus 15 joins list of AirDrop supported Android phone, here are the details

By

Jun 11, 2026

OnePlus 15 users can now share files with iPhones, iPads, and Macs through Android’s Quick Share. The feature, which taps into Apple’s AirDrop protocol, started rolling out on June 9 and has been confirmed by users on OnePlus community forums.

No system update is needed. The change arrives through the Quick Share app itself, so updating it via the Play Store is enough to get started.

How AirDrop works in OnePlus 15

To use it, the OnePlus 15 user sets Quick Share visibility to “Everyone,” while the iPhone user sets AirDrop to “Everyone for 10 minutes” from the Control Center. After that, the two devices see each other, and the transfer works much like a standard AirDrop exchange. Files go through at full quality, with no cloud intermediary involved.

As we covered recently, the OnePlus 15 joins a list that has been building since Google first launched AirDrop interoperability on the Pixel 10 in November 2025. Since then, the Pixel 9 series, Samsung Galaxy S24, S25, and S26, OPPO Find X8 and X9 series, Vivo X300 Ultra, HONOR Magic V6, and Xiaomi 17T Pro have all received the feature.

OnePlus was already named by Google earlier this year as one of the brands set to receive support in 2026, so this rollout was expected.

The OnePlus 15, launched globally in November 2025, runs OxygenOS 16 on Android 16 and is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip. Google has not publicly explained what hardware criteria determine AirDrop eligibility, but chipset compatibility is widely believed to play a role, which may explain why the update is not extending to older OnePlus models for now.

For now, the OnePlus 15 is the only OnePlus device on the list. Older models like the OnePlus 13 are not included, and the company has not said whether support will extend to them.

Jun 10, 2026

Xiaomi has released the Mijia Wireless Vacuum Cleaner 4 Pro in China. The vacuum cleaner, which was unveiled last month, is now available for purchase on JD.com for 1,498 yuan ($220).

Xiaomi Mijia Wireless Vacuum Cleaner 4 Pro

Mijia Wireless Vacuum Cleaner 4 Pro Specifications

The vacuum features a dual-airflow self-emptying system integrated into its push-in charging dock. Once docked, you can press a button to transfer the contents of the onboard dustbin into a 3-liter bag inside the station, which takes about 11 seconds. To help control odors and bacteria, the bag is treated with silver ions. Xiaomi estimates it can hold roughly 100 days of typical household dust before you need to replace it.

For standard cleaning, the vacuum uses a 120,000 RPM brushless motor that generates 230AW of suction power and 25,000Pa of vacuum pressure. It relies on a 12-cone system to separate dust from the air, which helps prevent the internal filters from getting clogged over time. The exhaust air passes through a five-stage filtration setup that Xiaomi says captures 99.99% of particles as small as 0.3 microns. All of the internal filter parts can be washed with water.

The main motorized floor brush is equipped with a blue light that projects a 180-degree beam up to 30 centimeters ahead of the vacuum. This is intended to make fine dust and pet hair more visible, particularly in poorly lit areas like under beds or couches. The roller brush also includes an anti-tangle design, using built-in comb teeth to pull hair off the roller as it spins. Additionally, the brush head is designed to clean flush against walls on its right side.

The device is powered by a removable 2,600mAh battery. Xiaomi says it can run for up to 90 minutes on a single charge when used in the lowest power setting (Eco mode). It also features a dirt sensor that can automatically increase or decrease suction based on the amount of debris it detects on the floor.

The Mijia 4 Pro connects to the Mi Home app using Xiaomi HyperOS Connect. The app lets users check battery levels, monitor the dust bag capacity, and see when to replace consumable parts. Along with the main floor head, the vacuum includes a motorized mite-removal brush and a standard two-in-one crevice tool for furniture and tight spaces.

In related news, Xiaomi recently launched the Mijia Instant Hot Water Dispenser with 3-second heating, 10-minute ice making, and UV sterilization, alongside a premium nose hair trimmer with USB-C charging and up to 150 minutes of battery life.

Logitech launches its first portable mouse that folds in half and fits in your pocket

By

-

Jun 10, 2026

Logitech has just announced the Mobi Fold, a new $79.99 wireless mouse that folds in half to make it easier to carry around. It is aimed at people who regularly work from coffee shops, airports, or shared workspaces but don’t want to rely on a laptop trackpad or cram a full-sized mouse into their bag.

Logitech Mobi Fold Specifications

The mouse features a hinge mechanism that transforms it from a highly portable 66mm by 21mm block into a full-sized, ambidextrous mouse. When opened to its full 122mm by 33mm dimensions, Logitech points out that it helps alleviate forearm strain compared to using a trackpad, before easily folding back down to slip right into your pocket.

Folding the mouse is also how you control its power state. Opening the device turns it on, and snapping it shut turns it off. Because folding a mouse could easily trigger accidental clicks, Logitech built a small AI model into the device specifically to ignore button presses while the hinge is in motion. The exterior of the mouse is covered in a dust-resistant silicone sleeve, and the company says the internal hinge is rated to survive 15 years of daily use.

On the inside, the 79-gram mouse uses a 4,000 DPI PixArt PAW3222 optical sensor. For navigation, it features a touch panel that supports adaptive scrolling for both line-by-line reading and fast inertial scrolling. This touch area also includes two programmable buttons that you can customize using the Logi Options+ software. The main left and right buttons use Logitech’s quiet-click switches.

For connectivity, the Mobi Fold uses Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0 and can pair with up to three devices at once, allowing you to switch between a laptop, tablet, and phone. It is also the first Logitech device to get Google Fast Pair certification, which makes connecting to Android devices and Chromebooks faster.

The built-in 100mAh battery is rated for about 32 days of use on a full charge. If it dies while you are out, a one-minute charge over USB-C will give you around 22 hours of battery life. However, you will have to provide your own cable, as Logitech does not include one in the box.

Alongside the standard model, there is an $89.99 business version that includes a Logi Bolt USB-C receiver for more secure connections and a longer two-year warranty. The standard Mobi Fold is available globally in Graphite, with Lilac and Off-White options available in certain markets.

In related news, Logitech has recently unveiled the G512 X gaming keyboard featuring TMR Analog technology.

The Xiaomi 17T and OnePlus 15R both target premium smartphone buyers, but they approach design differently. The Xiaomi 17T combines Gorilla Glass 7i protection with a glass-fiber reinforced plastic frame and back, creating a lighter and more practical feel. It also carries an IP68 rating, which remains more than sufficient for daily protection against water and dust.

The OnePlus 15R feels slightly more premium thanks to its aluminum frame and stronger IP68/IP69K certification. The additional durability against high-pressure water exposure may appeal to users who prioritize ruggedness. The ultrasonic fingerprint scanner is another small but meaningful upgrade that contributes to a more flagship-like experience.

Display Quality

Xiaomi equips the 17T with a sharp AMOLED panel featuring Dolby Vision, HDR10+, 120Hz refresh rate, and an impressive 3500-nit peak brightness. Colors look vibrant, and the compact display size may feel more comfortable for extended use.

The OnePlus 15R counters with a larger AMOLED display, 165Hz refresh rate, 1 billion colors, and support for HDR Vivid. The higher refresh rate delivers a smoother visual experience, particularly during gaming and scrolling.

Verdict

The OnePlus 15R offers the more premium build and superior display specifications. However, the Xiaomi 17T may feel easier to handle daily thanks to its slightly more compact form factor. For display enthusiasts, the OnePlus 15R takes a narrow win.

The OnePlus 15R is the stronger performer overall. Between the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 and a larger battery, it delivers more raw power and endurance, making it the better choice for gamers and heavy users.

3. Camera

Main and Secondary Lenses

Camera hardware is where the Xiaomi 17T gains a major advantage. Its Leica-branded triple-camera setup includes a 50MP primary sensor, a dedicated 50MP periscope telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom, and a 12MP ultrawide lens. The inclusion of a true periscope lens significantly expands shooting flexibility, particularly for portraits and long-distance photography.

The OnePlus 15R uses a simpler dual-camera system consisting of a 50MP primary sensor and an 8MP ultrawide camera. While image quality should remain strong in daylight, the absence of a telephoto lens limits versatility. Video capabilities are impressive with support for 4K recording at up to 120fps, but photography enthusiasts may find the hardware less exciting.

Selfie Camera

Both devices feature 32MP selfie cameras capable of 4K video recording. The OnePlus gains a slight advantage with autofocus support, helping maintain sharpness during selfies and video calls.

Verdict

The Xiaomi 17T comfortably wins this category. The dedicated 5x periscope camera and Leica imaging system provide a far more complete photography package, making it the better option for users who value camera flexibility.

4. Pricing

Xiaomi 17T is priced around $700 (approximately ₹60,000), while the OnePlus 15R is priced around $650 (approximately ₹55,000). Despite being the more affordable device, the OnePlus 15R includes a flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor, a larger battery, faster charging, an aluminum frame, and a higher-refresh-rate display.

Xiaomi 17T justifies its higher price through its camera-focused hardware. The addition of a 50MP periscope telephoto lens is uncommon in this segment and significantly increases photographic versatility. Buyers who frequently use zoom photography may find the premium worthwhile.

From a pure specifications perspective, the OnePlus offers more hardware for less money. The Xiaomi focuses on delivering a more balanced flagship experience with a stronger emphasis on imaging.

Verdict

For value-conscious buyers, the OnePlus 15R offers better hardware per dollar. The Xiaomi 17T remains competitively priced, but its value proposition depends heavily on how important the camera system is to the user.

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.

5. Conclusion

The Xiaomi 17T stands out with its Leica-tuned camera system, dedicated 5x periscope telephoto lens, Dolby Atmos audio support, and strong photography-oriented feature set. It feels like a device built specifically for users who enjoy mobile photography and content creation.

The OnePlus 15R focuses on performance, endurance, and premium hardware. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, 7400mAh battery, 80W charging, IP69K protection, aluminum frame, ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, and 165Hz AMOLED display create a package that feels extremely competitive for its price.

Both smartphones successfully target different priorities. One emphasizes camera versatility, while the other pushes performance and battery life.

Verdict

Choose the Xiaomi 17T if camera quality and zoom photography are the top priorities. Choose the OnePlus 15R if gaming performance, battery life, charging speed, and overall value matter more. For most buyers, the OnePlus 15R delivers the stronger all-around package, while the Xiaomi 17T remains the better camera-focused option.

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.

Jun 10, 2026

The Vivo X500 series has been leaking in pieces for a while now, and the latest information from Digital Chat Station adds some specifics around the vanilla Vivo X500’s display, chipset, battery, and cameras.

According to DCS, the current engineering sample of the Vivo X500 sports a 6.59-inch mid-screen flat display, which lines up with earlier reports pegging that size to the standard model.

More interesting is the claim that the X500 will apparently run on 3nm-based Dimensity 9500 (referred to as the DX5), rather than the upcoming Dimensity 9600.

Vivo X500 Specs Leak — Vivo X500 specs as per DCS

It could be a deliberate choice by Vivo to make the X500 a slightly affordable option in a lineup where the Pro and Pro Max take the glory.

On the camera front, DCS says the engineering prototype features a 50MP main sensor with a 1/1.28-inch (approximately) footprint. There’s also a mid-sensor periscope telephoto lens on board.

DCS notes that this could be the same 64MP periscope unit that’s in testing for the X500 Pro, though that’s still pending confirmation.

Last but not least, the Vivo X500 engineering sample is reportedly testing with a 7,500mAh battery (give or take). That’s a massive cell for a phone with a sub-6.6-inch display, and it fits with earlier reports suggesting the entire X500 family would feature 7,000mAh-plus batteries. The X300 series tops at around 6,510mAh in the Pro model.

Where the X500 fits

Vivo is likely building a three-tier ladder with the X500 series. At the top sits the X500 Pro Max, rumored to feature a 2nm Dimensity 9600 Pro, a 200MP periscope, and an 8,000mAh battery in a 6.85-inch 2K LTPO panel.

Vivo X500 leak — DCS replies in the comment

The X500 Pro sits in the middle with a compact 6.37-inch form factor, Dimensity 9600, a 50MP LOFIC primary shooter, and a 7,000mAh-plus battery. And the standard X500 rounds things out with a bigger screen than the Pro, the same oversized main sensor, and a monstrous battery, all powered by a slightly less premium chip.

Honor introduced the Win series of gaming phones in China in December 2025. Earlier this year, the brand also announced Win-branded gaming-focused laptops, followed by the Win Turbo a few days ago. Now, the company is said to be working on a performance-centric tablet, and the first details have already surfaced.

Honor Win Pad Mini in the works

According to tipster Digital Chat Station, Honor is evaluating a compact tablet with an approximately 8-inch OLED display, ultra-narrow bezels, and a very high refresh rate. The device is also said to feature a Snapdragon 8 Elite-series flagship chipset. The tipster speculated that it could be launched under the Win lineup, potentially as the Honor Win Pad Mini.

The tipster mentioned in the comments section that the Honor Win Pad Mini could pack the largest battery compared to other compact tablets available on the market. The other details of the device remain under wraps. Rumors suggest that the brand may unveil the Honor Win 2 and Win RT 2 gaming phones by the end of this year in China. Hence, there is a possibility that the Win Pad Mini may go official alongside the Win 2 lineup.

In another Weibo post, the tipster described a flagship phone featuring a 2nm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6-series chip, a massive 10,000mAh-class battery, wireless charging, a 2K high-refresh-rate flat display, a telephoto camera, a built-in micro active cooling fan, a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, premium dual speakers, and top-tier water resistance. While the product was not named, speculation suggests it could be the upcoming Honor Win 2 Pro Max.

A recent report revealed that the Win 2 series may include three models. The entry-level model could be equipped with a high-refresh-rate 1.5K display and a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. Above it may sit a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5-powered variant, likely featuring a similar display.

The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6-series-powered device mentioned by the tipster in the Weibo post is likely to be called the Honor Win 2 Pro Max. This device is said to feature a 6.8-inch OLED LTPS 2K+ display with support for a 185Hz refresh rate.

Disclaimer: Specs are based on available data. Actual performance may vary. Verify details from official sources before buying.

Prev Next

1. Design and Display

Build and Feel

The Xiaomi 17T and Xiaomi 17T Pro follow a similar premium design language, but the Pro model clearly positions itself as the more flagship-oriented device. While the Xiaomi 17T combines a glass front with a reinforced plastic frame and back panel, the 17T Pro upgrades to an aluminum frame and full glass construction. This gives the Pro variant a more refined and premium in-hand feel. Both devices feature IP68 dust and water resistance, ensuring strong durability for everyday use.

The material upgrade may not completely change the user experience, but it does make the Pro feel more expensive and better aligned with its higher price segment.

Display Quality

The Xiaomi 17T offers an excellent AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and a peak brightness of 3500 nits. The Xiaomi 17T Pro pushes things further with a larger AMOLED display and a faster 144Hz refresh rate. The smoother refresh rate can make gaming and scrolling feel slightly more responsive, while the larger screen creates a more immersive viewing experience.

Verdict

The Xiaomi 17T already delivers a flagship-grade display, but the 17T Pro earns the win thanks to its premium materials, larger screen, and higher refresh rate. The upgrades feel meaningful rather than cosmetic.

2. Specifications Including Battery

Performance

Performance is where the biggest difference appears. The Xiaomi 17T is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8500 Ultra, which is more than capable for gaming, multitasking, and everyday flagship-level usage. However, the Xiaomi 17T Pro steps into a completely different performance category with the newer 3nm Dimensity 9500 chipset and significantly stronger graphics hardware.

Heavy gamers, content creators, and power users are likely to notice the extra headroom available on the Pro model. The availability of higher RAM and storage configurations further strengthens its flagship positioning.

Battery and Charging

Battery life is excellent on both phones. The global Xiaomi 17T carries a 6500mAh battery, while the 17T Pro increases capacity to 7000mAh. Charging also receives a substantial upgrade from 67W wired charging to 100W wired charging. The addition of 50W wireless charging is another major advantage that the standard model completely lacks.

The charging improvements are the kind of upgrades that users appreciate every day rather than only during benchmark tests.

Verdict

The Xiaomi 17T delivers impressive performance and battery life for most buyers, but the 17T Pro provides a substantial leap in processing power, charging speeds, and convenience features. This is one of the strongest upgrade areas between the two models.

3. Camera

Main and Secondary Lenses

Both smartphones share a Leica-branded triple-camera setup with a 50MP main sensor, a 50MP periscope telephoto camera offering 5x optical zoom, and a 12MP ultrawide lens. However, the Xiaomi 17T Pro upgrades to a much larger main camera sensor, allowing it to capture more light and potentially deliver better low-light photography, improved dynamic range, and stronger background separation.

Video capabilities also see a major improvement. While the Xiaomi 17T supports up to 4K 60fps recording, the Pro version adds 8K recording and 4K 120fps support. These enhancements give content creators significantly more flexibility.

Selfie Camera

The selfie camera hardware remains identical across both devices, featuring a 32MP sensor capable of 4K recording. Selfie quality, video calls, and social media content should be very similar between the two models.

Verdict

The camera systems look similar on paper, but the larger primary sensor and advanced video recording capabilities give the Xiaomi 17T Pro a noticeable edge. Photography enthusiasts and creators are more likely to benefit from the upgrade.

4. Pricing

Xiaomi 17T is priced around $700 (₹60,000), while the Xiaomi 17T Pro is priced around $900 (₹75,000). This creates a price difference of approximately $200 (₹15,000) between the two devices.

At its price point, the Xiaomi 17T offers strong value by combining a flagship-grade display, Leica cameras, a large battery, and modern connectivity features. It covers nearly everything most users would expect from a premium smartphone.

The Xiaomi 17T Pro asks for a noticeable premium, but the additional cost brings a faster chipset, superior build quality, a larger battery, much faster charging, wireless charging support, a larger display, and a more capable camera system. Unlike some Pro models that focus on minor refinements, the upgrades here are easy to identify in daily use.

Verdict

The Xiaomi 17T is the better value-focused purchase, while the Xiaomi 17T Pro justifies its higher price through meaningful flagship-level upgrades. Buyers looking for the complete experience may find the premium worthwhile.

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.

5. Conclusion

The Xiaomi 17T stands out by offering many flagship features at a relatively accessible price. Its AMOLED display, Leica camera system, long battery life, and Dimensity 8500 Ultra chipset make it a compelling option for users seeking premium performance without stretching their budget.

The Xiaomi 17T Pro takes the formula further by introducing a more premium construction, a larger 144Hz display, a significantly more powerful Dimensity 9500 processor, a larger camera sensor, faster wired charging, wireless charging support, and expanded memory configurations. These upgrades collectively create a device that feels closer to a true flagship rather than a slightly enhanced variant.

Verdict

Xiaomi 17T is the smarter choice for value-conscious buyers because it delivers most of the experience for less money. The Xiaomi 17T Pro, however, is the better smartphone overall. Its upgrades are substantial across performance, display, charging, build quality, and camera capabilities, making it a genuinely more premium device rather than just a higher-priced alternative.

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.

Samsung sees 95% growth in DRAM revenue, reclaims top spot, without focusing on consumer DRAM

By

Jun 10, 2026

Samsung strengthened its lead in the global DRAM market during the first quarter of 2026, benefiting from surging demand for AI-focused memory products and higher memory prices.

According to market research firm Omdia, global DRAM revenue reached a record $97.1 billion in Q1 2026, up 85.3% from the previous quarter. Samsung generated $37.4 billion in DRAM revenue, a 95.4% increase quarter-over-quarter, raising its market share from 36.5% to 38.6%.

The strong performance helped Samsung widen its lead over competitors. SK Hynix generated about $28 billion in revenue and saw its market share fall to 28.8%, down 4.1 percentage points from the previous quarter. Micron Technology remained in third place with $21.7 billion in revenue and a 22.4% market share, despite posting robust 81.6% growth.

Industry analysts attribute the surge to booming demand for AI infrastructure. Data centers running generative AI models require large amounts of High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) and advanced DDR5 DRAM, driving both shipments and prices higher. TrendForce data also shows Samsung benefiting from strong server DRAM demand and some of the largest increases in average selling prices.

China’s Changxin Memory Technologies (CXMT) was another notable performer. The company nearly tripled its quarterly revenue to $7.3 billion, increasing its market share from 4.7% to 7.6%. While still well behind the industry’s top three suppliers, CXMT continues to expand its presence as China invests heavily in domestic semiconductor production and AI infrastructure.

For Samsung, the results highlight the growing importance of AI-driven memory demand. The company’s memory business remains a key profit driver, and continued investment in advanced DRAM technologies is expected to support growth through the rest of the year. However, analysts caution that supply increases and easing prices could moderate the pace of expansion in future quarters.

Galaxy S27 spotted on GSMA database

By

-

Jun 10, 2026

The standard Galaxy S27 has appeared in the GSMA database under model number SM-S952U, marking the first official sign that development of the 2027 flagship series is underway. The “U” suffix typically refers to a US variant, suggesting Samsung is already preparing models for one of its key markets.

GSMA registrations are often among the earliest public indicators of an upcoming smartphone. They are required for IMEI allocation and device certification, and usually surface months before launch. The Galaxy S26 Edge and S26 Ultra, for instance, appeared in the database around the same time last year. So everything seems to be going as planned.

The filing does not reveal any hardware details, but expectations are already forming around Samsung’s next-generation flagship. The base Galaxy S27 is likely to retain a compact design with a display around 6.3 inches, featuring a Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel and a variable 120Hz refresh rate.

As for performance, Samsung is expected to continue its current dual-chip strategy with the upcoming Exynos 2700 and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chips. Memory and storage options could start at 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.

There’s still very little information about the Galaxy S27 and Galaxy S27+ at this stage. The Galaxy S27 Ultra, however, is rumored to be getting a long-awaited design refresh. Reports suggest Samsung could remove one of the rear cameras, potentially freeing up space for a slightly larger battery. The flagship may also feature built-in magnets for native Qi2 support, eliminating the need for magnetic cases or accessories.

Some reports pointed to a possible new Pro variant as well, which may include a 50MP 3.5x telephoto.

For now, the GSMA listing confirms only one thing: Samsung’s next flagship generation is in development. More details are likely to emerge through certifications, benchmarks, and leaks in the coming months ahead of a probable early-2027 unveiling at Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event.

Jun 10, 2026

A new Oppo smartphone appears to be inching closer to launch in China. A device carrying the model number PYD110 has now surfaced on the TENAA certification platform, revealing several key specifications ahead of its official debut. While Oppo has not confirmed the marketing name yet, Chinese tech bloggers believe the handset could launch as the Oppo K15, joining the Oppo K15 Pro and Oppo K15 Pro+, which went official in April in China.

Oppo K15 specifications

Oppo K15's TENAA images — Oppo K15’s TENAA images

The TENAA listing suggests that the alleged Oppo K15 could arrive with a 6.59-inch AMOLED display offering a resolution of 1256 x 2760 pixels. The panel is also expected to support an in-display fingerprint scanner and face unlock functionality. The device measures 158.3 x 75.13 x 8.27mm and weighs 205 grams.

The certification reveals a rated battery capacity of 7,755mAh, indicating that the typical capacity could be around 8,000mAh when officially announced. There’s no information about the fast-charging capabilities of this device.

Under the hood, the smartphone is listed with an octa-core processor clocked at 2.5GHz. While the chipset name remains unknown, the device is expected to be offered in 8GB and 12GB RAM variants, paired with 256GB and 512GB storage options.

For photography, the listing points to a dual rear camera setup consisting of two 50-megapixel sensors. On the front, the phone is expected to feature a 50-megapixel selfie camera. Other features mentioned in the listing include an infrared blaster, Bluetooth, and a USB-C. The K15’s images, which are available in TENAA’s database, suggest that it may not have a built-in fan like the K15 Pro models.

No gasoline car made it to the top 10 list in the May sales ranking

By

Rajesh Regmi

-

Jun 10, 2026

For the first time, not a single gasoline-only car made it into China’s ten best-selling passenger vehicles in May 2026. Every spot now is taken by either a fully electric or a plug-in hybrid model.

The hints of this being real were long coming. Back in January, seven of the ten top-selling cars still ran on gasoline. By March, that number had dropped to five. In April, just one gas-powered Geely Binyue made it to the list. Now, in May, it’s zero.

Sales rankings compiled by Autohome and Autodext show five models claiming the top spots across both lists: the Geely Star Wish, Tesla Model Y, Xiaomi SU7, Leapmotor A10, and Li Auto i6. The two sources diverge a bit further down the list, but they agree on what isn’t there: a combustion engine in sight.

A Market in Free Fall for Gas

China’s passenger car retail sales hit 1.51 million units in May, according to the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA). That’s a 22.1% drop compared to the same month last year, though it was up about 9% from April.

It’s gas-powered vehicles that took the brunt of that fall. Even though they still held 37.1% of the market by volume in May, they were responsible for a staggering 82% of the total year-over-year sales decline. The CPCA points to high oil prices as a key driver for the decline.

Meanwhile, new energy vehicles, including both pure EVs and plug-in hybrids, now account for 62.9% of retail passenger car sales in China. And it’s the third straight month the figure has exceeded 60%.

Wholesale vs. Retail

It’s worth flagging that the CPCA did not release an official retail sales ranking for May. The top-10 retail figures come from third-party trackers. On the wholesale side, which captures what manufacturers ship to dealers rather than what consumers actually buy, the picture is somewhat different.

BYD dominates that list. The BYD Song led wholesale rankings with over 75,000 units, followed by the Tesla Model Y at around 54,000. Several BYD models appear in the top five, and a handful of gasoline vehicles — including the Chery Tiggo 7 and Geely Binyue — still show up further down. So gas cars aren’t completely out of the supply chain. They’re just not what people are choosing to take home anymore.

Marshall launches Stockwell III after seven years, and it finally has a battery you can swap yourself

By

Jun 10, 2026

Seven years is a long time in the speaker world. Marshall‘s Stockwell II launched when AirPods were still new, and Spotify hadn’t yet crossed 100 million subscribers. Now the Stockwell III is here, and Marshall has used that time well.

Marshall Stockwell III launch specs price

The new portable Bluetooth speaker keeps everything that made the Stockwell line recognizable — the guitar amp-inspired look, the metal mesh grille, the brass control panel, the velvet-lined strap handle that feels like it belongs on a guitar case. But underneath that familiar retro shell, this is a meaningfully different product.

Marshall Stockwell III Specifications

The biggest upgrade is battery life. The Stockwell III can deliver over 40 hours of runtime, up from roughly 20 on its predecessor. It charges via USB-C and can power other devices, so it doubles as a battery pack when you need it.

Marshall has also bumped durability up to an IP55 rating, meaning it can handle dust and splashes without drama. The audio side gets True Stereophonic technology for 360-degree sound, plus dynamic loudness processing that tries to keep bass, mids, and treble balanced as you push the volume up or dial it down. There’s a dedicated M-button on the top panel for presets and track controls alongside the standard playback buttons.

The most thoughtful addition, though, might be repairability. The Stockwell III ships with a user-replaceable battery, carry strap, grilles, silicone sleeve, and carrying case, parts you can actually swap yourself.

And the timing isn’t surprising. The EU is mandating that consumer electronics use replaceable batteries starting early next year, and Marshall is getting ahead of it.

The Stockwell III is available in black and brass or cream, priced at $249.99 in the US.
