Keychron launches G6 HE UltraLight Mouse with MagOptic Switches

Keychron has introduced a new mouse called the G6 HE UltraLight in Japan. The mouse uses a symmetrical, ergonomic shape and measures 123.7 x 63 x 41mm. Inside, it runs on a Nordic nRF54LM20A controller paired with a PixArt PAW3955 optical sensor.

Keychron G6 HE UltraLight Mouse

The highlight of this mouse is that it has a pair of MagOptic switches on the left and right click buttons. These switches let you switch between optical and magnetic mode. They use electromagnetic sensing, which lets users fine-tune how the input responds, while still delivering the sharp, physical click that regular electromagnetic switches often lack. Keychron rates them for 100 million clicks, matching the durability seen in similar high-end mice such as the M7 wireless mouse.

What’s thoughtful of Keychron is its offering two choices for battery. One has a built-in, fixed battery that weighs 42g. The second version has a swappable battery and weighs 46g, with extra weights available to bring the total up to 52g or 62g for users who prefer more heft. Both draw from a 350mAh cell. 

Keychron says the mouse lasts up to 340 hours over Bluetooth, or around 35 hours on 2.4GHz at an 8kHz polling rate, similar to the connectivity flexibility found in the brand’s M2 4K mouse.

Keychron G6 HE mouse design

On the outside, the shell is made of ABS and PC plastic with a nano-coating designed to resist slipping and wear. The color options for the G6 HE mouse include black, white, or five matte, semi-transparent finishes. That said, the fixed-battery model comes only in black.

Keychron G6 HE UltraLight Mouse Price and Availability

The Keychron G6 HE starts at 11,968 yen (about $73) for the fixed-battery version during its crowdfunding campaign, while the swappable-battery model starts at 14,344 yen (around $87).

Keychron G6 HE UltraLight Mouse Colors

The mouse joins a growing group of Hall-effect and magnetic-switch peripherals from Keychron, following devices like the K2 HE keyboard, which also uses magnetic sensing for more precise input control.

Redmi 17 4G full specifications leak ahead of launch

The upcoming Redmi 17 4G recently made an appearance in an EPREL listing, confirming the battery specifics. A fresh leak has now filled in nearly everything we didn’t already know about the Redmi 17 4G. 

Start with the chipset, since it settles a debate that’s been running for weeks. Multiple certification listings had pointed to a Snapdragon 6s 4G Gen 2 processor, largely because the Redmi 17 4G shares model numbers with the rumored POCO C95 Pro 4G on the GSMA and TKDN databases. This new leak says otherwise: it lists MediaTek’s 12nm Helio G91-Ultra instead.

If the two devices are indeed rebadged versions of each other, as their model numbers suggest, the POCO C95 Pro 4G may end up with the same MediaTek chip rather than a Qualcomm one, though that remains unconfirmed.

Redmi 17 4G Specifications

The rest of the hardware fits the budget segment Redmi has built this series around. A 6.9-inch flat display runs at 1600 × 720 resolution with an adaptive refresh rate topping out at 120Hz, 675 nits of typical brightness (825 nits in High Brightness Mode), 8-bit color depth, an 83% NTSC gamut, and DC dimming. TÜV Rheinland has certified the panel for low-blue-light, circadian-friendly output, and flicker-free performance. 

Redmi 17 4G Specifications

The design carries over the Dynamic RGB light and Gorilla Glass 7i protection that showed up in renders we covered last week, and the phone will reportedly ship in Oak Green, Deep Blue, Black, and Lotus Purple, measuring 170.12 × 78.42 × 8.8mm and weighing 232 grams with an IP64 rating.

Memory options include 4GB/128GB, 4GB/256GB, 6GB/128GB, and 6GB/256GB, running on LPDDR4X RAM and eMMC 5.1 storage. 

Likewise, the camera on the back is a 50MP main sensor with a 5P lens and f/1.8, backed by an auxiliary lens, while an 8MP f/2.05 camera handles selfies. Video tops out at 1080p/30fps.

The device has a 7,500mAh cell with 45W wired charging. Rounding things out is HyperOS 3, a side-mounted fingerprint reader, AI face unlock, dual-band Wi-Fi, and NFC that depends on the market.

Vivo X300e specs leak via China Telecom listing ahead of July 27 launch

Vivo‘s X300e is just a day away from its official China debut, and a new listing on the China Telecom website has now revealed nearly the complete spec sheet for the device. The company had already confirmed the phone’s design and pre-orders earlier this month, and this fresh leak fills in most of the remaining details before the phone goes on sale.

Vivo X300e Specifications

The listing identifies the phone by its model number, V2612A. According to China Telecom, the X300e carries a 6.59-inch display and a triple rear camera setup made up of a 50MP main sensor, a 50MP secondary sensor, and an 8MP third lens, paired with a 50MP front camera for selfies. 

Memory-wise, buyers will be able to choose between 8GB/256GB, 12GB/256GB, and 12GB/512GB storage configurations.

Vivo X300e Specs China Telecom

Under the hood, the listing confirms the Vivo X300e uses a Snapdragon SM8845 chip, which is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 in its marketing name. The processor was tipped for the X300e in earlier reports as well. The chip runs at speeds up to 3.8GHz across eight cores, and the phone ships with Android 16 out of the box.

Moreover, the Vivo X300e is expected to come in three color options: Moonlight White, Sunlight Orange, and Midnight Black. The China Telecom page lists the phone’s dimensions at 157.52 × 74.33 × 7.99mm, with a weight of roughly 203 grams and a glass body. The listing also confirms a 7,200mAh battery.

In the box, you can expect a power adapter, a protective case, a data cable, and a user manual. The listing also mentions NFC, Bluetooth, WLAN, USB flash-drive mode, fingerprint recognition, and over-the-air update support, though full details on these features remain unclear. Interestingly, the page lists July 30 as the product’s launch time, which could be when open sales actually begin.

Citizen launches two new Tsuyosa 60 automatic watches with a gold-tone finish

Citizen has released two new versions of its Tsuyosa 60 automatic watch in the US and UK markets. Both models are priced at $675 or £429 and feature a yellow gold-tone stainless steel finish. The primary difference between the two releases is the case size: one measures 37mm (model NK0032-56A) and the other measures 40mm (model NK0022-50A).

TSUYOSA 60 37mm

Design Details

The design of the Tsuyosa 60 centers around an integrated stainless steel bracelet, meaning the watch case and the band connect directly without traditional protruding lugs.

Both the 37mm and 40mm sizes include a textured dial, applied indices for the hour markers, and a date window located at the 3 o’clock position. The dial is covered by sapphire crystal, a material typical for watches in this price tier that provides standard scratch resistance. The bracelet fastens using a deployant clasp with push buttons.

Inside the case, both watches operate on Citizen’s caliber 8310 automatic movement. As a mechanical movement, it does not require a battery. It winds itself using an internal oscillating weight that rotates with the natural movement of the wearer’s arm.

The 60 in the product name refers to the watch’s 60-hour power reserve. In practical terms, a 60-hour reserve means a user can take the watch off on a Friday evening, and it will still be ticking on Monday morning, avoiding the need to manually rewind or reset the time after a weekend of not wearing it.

Citizen lists the water resistance for both models at 50 meters (5 Bar). The manufacturer says this is suitable for still water swimming. Generally, a 50-meter rating is adequate for everyday water exposure, such as washing hands or getting caught in the rain, but it is not intended for diving or high-impact water sports.

In related news, Citizen has recently unveiled the limited-edition Tsuyosa Shore, a vintage-inspired diver-style watch powered by an automatic movement.

Lenovo launches new affordable 280Hz gaming monitor with 27-inch IPS panel

Lenovo has introduced a new budget gaming monitor in China, the Legion 27-1r. It is priced at 789 yuan (roughly $116) and features a native 280Hz refresh rate aimed at gamers seeking high-refresh-rate performance at an affordable price.

Lenovo Legion 27-1r Gaming Monitor

Lenovo Legion 27-1r Specifications

The monitor uses a 27-inch IPS panel with a 1920 x 1080 Full HD resolution. The panel features a native 280Hz refresh rate and a 0.5ms MPRT response time, with adjustable GTG settings from 1ms to 4ms. It also supports VESA AdaptiveSync and Nvidia G-Sync to reduce screen tearing and deliver smoother gameplay.

For color and brightness, the IPS panel covers 99% of the sRGB color space and reaches a typical brightness of 400 nits. It supports 8-bit color depth, though it uses a 6-bit + FRC (Frame Rate Control) method to display 16.7 million colors. Lenovo also included hardware-level low-blue-light technology with EyeSafe 2.0 certification, designed to reduce blue light without adding a yellow tint to the screen.

Lenovo Legion 27-1r Gaming Monitor

The port selection dictates how the monitor performs. It has one DisplayPort 1.4 input and two HDMI 2.1 TMDS inputs, along with a 3.5mm audio jack. To use the full 280Hz refresh rate, the PC must be connected via DisplayPort. The HDMI ports are capped at a 240Hz refresh rate.

Lenovo equips the Legion 27-1r with a fully adjustable stand that supports height, tilt, swivel, and pivot adjustments, while a 100 x 100mm VESA mount allows compatibility with third-party monitor arms and wall mounts.

In related news, Philips has recently unveiled an affordable gaming monitor that combines a 27-inch 1440p display with a 425Hz refresh rate, while Asus has introduced the ROG Strix XG259QNSR Ace, an esports-focused monitor featuring a 420Hz Fast IPS panel.

Lenovo Legion Y7MG gaming mouse launches with PixArt PAW3950 sensor, 8,000Hz polling rate, aluminum alloy top shell

The Legion Y7MG is designed to pair with their recently launched R7 RT75 magnetic switch keyboard. One of the biggest talking points besides the high polling rate is how light the mouse is. It measures 119.22 × 62.05 × 38.20 mm and weighs just 59 grams.

Lenovo achieved this with an aluminum-magnesium alloy top shell and button covers, paired with an ABS plastic bottom. The Y-shaped hollowed design helps cut weight while still feeling solid in the hand. It also has a 500mAh battery for wireless use.

Under the shell sits a PixArt PAW3950 optical sensor, a popular high-performance option for accurate tracking. Clicks come from Kailh 100M optical switches, and the scroll wheel uses a TTC dustproof gold-plated encoder with an aluminum alloy roller for smooth, reliable operation.

Connectivity is tri-mode: USB-C wired, 2.4GHz wireless, and Bluetooth. Both the wired and 2.4GHz modes support an 8,000Hz polling rate, which is great for ultra-low latency in competitive games. RGB lighting is built in with a light diffuser that works with the cutouts to create a cool lighting effect.

This mouse clearly follows the current trend of sub-60g design. The alloy construction gives it a more premium feel than typical plastic mice, while the hollowed design helps with both weight and aesthetics.

Launched alongside the matching R7 RT75 keyboard, it’s part of Legion’s push to offer a coordinated high-performance peripherals setup.

Pricing and availability:

At 499 yuan (~$74), the Legion Y7MG is aiming at competitive players who want high-end features without paying top-tier esports brand prices. It’s currently only available in China, and the brand has not confirmed an international release.

The battery life and the software customization would require real-life testing. But on paper, the Y7MG looks like a strong contender. It packs a flagship-level sensor, optical switches, high polling rate, and an ultralight alloy body into a package that doesn’t break the bank.

Casio launches new limited-edition orange G-Shock watch in the US

Casio has added a new limited-edition model to its US G-Shock lineup: the DW6900MO26-4, created in collaboration with Bay Area rapper Larry June and his lifestyle brand, Midnight Organic. The watch is currently listed on Casio’s website at $170 and is expected to go on sale later this month.

Casio G-Shock DW6900MO26-4 watch

Design Details

The release is built on the DW6900, a digital G-Shock model that has been part of the brand’s core lineup for decades. The overall shape and layout remain unchanged, including the round case, front-facing button, and three-eye digital display. What’s different here is the color treatment and branding details tied to Midnight Organic.

The watch comes in a bright orange finish that reflects both Midnight Organic’s identity and Larry June’s personal 1987 Chevrolet C4 Corvette, which inspired the design. Casio says the metallic accents on the band loop and dial reference the Corvette’s stock silver and medium gray exterior. The bezel and strap follow the orange tone associated with the clothing brand.

There are a few collaboration-specific touches. The case back features a special engraving of the Midnight Organic 1991® logo and the phrase YOU’RE DOING GOOD. When the LED backlight is activated, the display reveals the message Good Job! Packaging has also been customized, using Midnight Organic branding and an orange color scheme inspired by the Corvette’s bright interior.

From a technical standpoint, the DW6900MO26-4 keeps the standard features of the 6900 series. It has shock-resistant construction and 200-meter water resistance. The resin case measures 53.2 x 50 x 18.7 mm and weighs 67 grams. Casio uses bio-based resin for parts of the case and band. The watch runs on a CR2016 battery with an estimated lifespan of about five years.

Core functions include a stopwatch, countdown timer, multi-function alarm, hourly time signal, and flash alert. It also features a Super Illuminator LED backlight with afterglow, a full auto-calendar, and support for both 12- and 24-hour formats.

In related news, Casio has recently unveiled a striking gold-tone stainless steel watch featuring a vibrant green dial, while also expanding its US lineup with a series of retro-inspired timepieces that pair clean dial designs with stainless steel cases.

Moto Pad 70 Flipkart microsite confirms 12.1-inch 2.5K display, Moto Pen, 5G connectivity

After teasing the audio-focused Moto Pad 70 Groove earlier, the company has now revealed key details about the standard Moto Pad 70 on a Flipkart microsite. It’s expected to arrive around August 8.

You’re getting a big 12.1-inch display with 2.5K resolution and peak brightness of 800 nits (in High Brightness Mode), so it should stay readable outdoors. The tablet also comes with the Moto Pen included in the box, which is nice for note-taking, sketching, or just more precise control.

Power comes from the MediaTek Dimensity 6400, a 6nm chip that usually powers entry-level and lower mid-range 5G smartphones. It should handle basic multitasking, streaming, and light creative work just fine, with the larger chassis helping improve heat dissipation during longer use.

Battery life looks strong too: a 10,200mAh cell with 68W fast charging. The tablet itself stays reasonably portable at 530 grams and just 6.29mm thick.

Other highlights include full 5G support, a quad-speaker setup with Dolby Atmos, and Android 16 out of the box. Motorola is promising two major Android upgrades plus security updates until 2030, a decent commitment for this segment.

Specs-wise, the Moto Pad 70 seems closely related to the Lenovo Idea Tab Plus. It’s clearly aimed at students, professionals, and families who want a large-screen tablet with stylus support, good battery life, fast charging, and a near-stock Android software experience.

Motorola seems to be targeting different types of users with the Pad 70 lineup. The already launched Pad 70 Pro combines a 144Hz 3.5K display with a sub-flagship chipset, while the upcoming Pad 70 Groove is expected to step down to a mid-range chip but focus on entertainment with its nine-speaker JBL audio setup.

The standard Pad 70 is likely to appeal to users who want a large display, stylus support, and strong battery life without paying for the higher-end models. Full pricing and storage/RAM options should drop closer to launch.

HMD Touch AI launches in China as feature phone with 4G, Wi-Fi, hotspot priced at ~$69

HMD has launched the HMD Touch AI in China, a tiny, purposeful device that mixes classic Nokia Lumia vibes with some useful AI tools, all for a very reasonable price.

The phone clearly takes inspiration from the old Nokia Lumia series. It has that distinctive circular camera housing on the back and comes in a bright cyan color. You can also buy separate back cases in yellow, blue, and white if you want to switch things up.

It’s very similar to the HMD Touch 4G that launched in India last October, but this China version adds AI features tailored for the local market.

You’re looking at a compact 3.2-inch touchscreen, 2MP cameras on both sides, and a 1,950mAh battery that charges over USB-C. It supports dual-SIM 4G, Wi-Fi, and can even act as a hotspot, making it more useful than your typical basic feature phone.

There’s also a physical button on the top that you can customize. One handy option is turning it into a one-touch SOS button that quickly alerts your emergency contacts.

The real differentiator is the Doubao AI (from ByteDance). It can do Chinese-English translation, generate images from text, recognize and reorganize objects in photos, and help with studying. The phone runs a clean, distraction-free system with parental controls, which makes it a solid option for kids or anyone who needs a digital detox. Alipay support is also built in for easy payments.

It’s currently available for pre-order in China at 469 yuan (about $69). It’s clearly aimed at people who want something simple, safe, and selectively smart — without the cost or complexity of a full smartphone.

Lenovo launches Legion R7 RT75 gaming keyboard with TFT screen, Hall effect switches & RGB lights

Lenovo has expanded its gaming peripheral lineup with the release of the Legion R7 RT75. It is a 75% layout keyboard that combines a full aluminum body with customizable magnetic switches. The keyboard is priced at 1,299 yuan ($192) and is available in Cloud Silver Grey and Storm Grey color options.

Lenovo Legion R7 RT75 keyboard

Lenovo Legion R7 RT75 Specifications

The keyboard uses Lenovo’s Aurora magnetic switches with Hall effect sensors, allowing adjustable actuation points from 0.01mm to 3.4mm. It also supports 0.01mm Rapid Trigger precision for faster key resets and includes advanced gaming features such as SOCD, RS, MT, and DKS for competitive play.

To process these inputs, the keyboard uses a custom controller that provides an 8,000Hz polling rate over both USB-C wired and 2.4GHz wireless connections. Lenovo says that the device operates with a 32,000Hz scan rate, which the company claims keeps full-key latency fluctuation down to 0.125ms.

Lenovo Legion R7 RT75 keyboard

The R7 RT75 weighs approximately 1,490g and features a CNC-machined aluminium body, a gasket-mounted structure, and a carbon fibre positioning plate. It also includes five layers of sound-dampening materials, hot-swappable magnetic switch support, and factory-lubricated stabilisers for improved typing feel and acoustics.

On the top right of the board, there is a 1.47-inch TFT display with a 320 x 172 resolution. It shows system information, battery life, and connection modes, and it can also display user-uploaded GIFs. There’s also a magnetic cover on the back of the keyboard that conceals a storage slot for the 2.4GHz wireless receiver.

Lenovo Legion R7 RT75 keyboard

The keyboard supports tri-mode connectivity, allowing users to connect via wired USB-C, 2.4GHz wireless, or Bluetooth. The Bluetooth mode can pair with up to three devices simultaneously, and the keyboard is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux. Power is supplied by an 8,000mAh internal battery.

For lighting, the R7 RT75 includes per-key RGB illumination and two ambient light bars on the sides. The lighting, along with the switch actuation settings and display, can be customized using Lenovo’s Aurora software.

In related news, Lenovo has recently introduced the Lecoo Pro 14, a notebook that offers Intel and AMD processor options, up to 24GB of RAM, and OCuLink support for external GPUs.

Ugreen launches an ultra-slim 100W charger that can even power your laptop

Ugreen has introduced a new 100W charger in China, offering a flatter, more portable alternative to standard block-style power adapters. The Ugreen 100W Mini Ice GaN charger (model X876) is priced at 189 yuan, which converts to about $28.

Ugreen 100W Mini Ice GaN Charger Specifications

The charger comes with an unusual physical footprint. It measures 90.2 x 55.6 x 18.2 mm and weighs 178 grams. Rather than the usual cube shape, Ugreen opted for a card-like design that is noticeably thinner. It also includes foldable prongs, allowing it to slide into pockets or laptop sleeves more easily without the plug catching on fabric or scratching other devices in a bag.

Ugreen 100W Mini Ice GaN Charger

For connectivity, the charger includes three ports: two USB-C and one USB-A. Both USB-C ports can deliver the full 100W of power when used individually. This provides enough wattage to charge most modern laptops, with Ugreen saying that a 2022 MacBook Air can reach a 53% charge in 30 minutes. The single USB-A port outputs up to 22.5W, making it a practical option for older cables and low-draw accessories like smartwatches, cameras, or wireless earbuds.

Ugreen 100W Mini Ice GaN Charger

Internally, the charger relies on Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology and Ugreen’s AirPyra stacking architecture. This internal layout is what allows the device to achieve a power density of 1.09W/cm³ while remaining relatively slim. Heat management is a common challenge for compact chargers, so Ugreen has integrated a thermal monitoring system.

Ugreen 100W Mini Ice GaN Charger

The company says this system checks temperatures constantly throughout the day, dynamically adjusting the power delivery to prevent overheating. It also includes nine standard safety mechanisms, such as short-circuit, over-voltage, and over-current protection.

The charger supports a wide variety of fast-charging protocols, including PD 3.0, PPS, QC 3.0, AFC, and FCP. This ensures it will work efficiently with hardware from Apple, Samsung, Lenovo, and other major manufacturers.

Last month, Ugreen also introduced a similar 65W GaN charger featuring three ports, foldable prongs, and a slim design measuring less than 15mm.

Galaxy F70 Pro surfaces on Geekbench with Snapdragon 6 Gen 3, 8GB RAM

After the Galaxy F70e launched earlier this year, a more capable sibling, the Galaxy F70 Pro (model code SM-E476B), has now shown up in Geekbench. It’s giving us a clear early look at the hardware.

Samsung Galaxy M47 5G

The phone is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 (SM6475). It’s an octa-core chip with cores running up to 2.4 GHz and 1.8 GHz, paired with an Adreno 710 GPU. The unit that was tested ran Android 16 and had 8GB of RAM (more options could still show up later).

In Geekbench it scored 998 single-core and 3,090 multi-core. Those numbers sit right in line with other Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 phones, so you can expect solid everyday performance, decent multitasking, and okay light gaming.

Interestingly, the same chip already powers Samsung’s Galaxy M47, so the F70 Pro is likely sharing a similar foundation but tuned for the F-series audience.

From earlier certifications and leaks, the phone should come with:

  • A 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate
  • A big 6,000mAh battery with 45W charging
  • A 50MP main camera

Software-wise, it’s looking at One UI on Android 16 plus up to six years of OS updates, pretty generous for a mid-ranger.

The Galaxy F lineup is mainly aimed at India and other price-sensitive markets. The “Pro” label usually means a few upgrades over the regular F models, including a better screen, faster charging, and maybe a nicer finish (sometimes with that soft leather-like look).

Samsung hasn’t officially confirmed anything yet, but between the earlier GSMA listings and this fresh Geekbench appearance, a launch feels pretty close.

Overall, the Galaxy F70 Pro looks like it’s shaping up to be a practical, battery-focused mid-ranger that won’t try to be a flagship. Just a reliable phone with modern software support and solid everyday specs.

Apple, Huawei, Xiaomi, Vivo, and Oppo are all reportedly colliding in September

Smartphone launches have usually followed a set order. Apple launches in September. Xiaomi launches its own flagship in China the same month. Vivo and Oppo have typically waited until October, and Huawei’s Mate series has often launched in November. A new leak suggests the timeline may change this year.

According to tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS), five major flagship lines are now expected to launch in September 2026: the iPhone 18 series, the Huawei Mate 90 series, the Vivo X500 series, the Oppo Find X10 series, and the Xiaomi 18 series. If the leak holds, these five brands are likely to release flagship phones within the same few weeks instead of spreading their launches across the fall.

September flagship phone launch 2026

More importantly, Huawei is making a big change this year. The Mate 90 series is on track for a September 2026 launch, earlier than the November timing of recent Mate generations. The Mate series has moved later each of the past two years, so that a September date would put Huawei’s flagship in the same window as Apple’s iPhone launch for the first time in years.

Xiaomi’s plan is less surprising, since it launched the Xiaomi 17 series in September 2025 and is expected to repeat that timing with the Xiaomi 18. Vivo and Oppo appear to be following the same approach this year. Both brands are reportedly aiming to unveil their new flagships in September, which would let them compete with Xiaomi from the start instead of launching a month or more later.

None of this is confirmed. DCS has a solid track record with Chinese launch leaks, but companies can still shift dates based on certification, supply, and component costs. Oppo’s Find X10, for example, has already cleared a regulatory step in China, with the company reportedly hoping for a late-September release.

Xiaomi ends software support for 10 devices: Here’s the list

Xiaomi EOL list updated

Xiaomi has dropped software support for 10 devices, meaning they are no longer eligible for any updates going forward, including feature-rich HyperOS updates and security patches. The list includes a couple of high-end Xiaomi phones, mid-range phones from POCO and Redmi, as well as Xiaomi tablets.

Let’s look at the list first, and then we’ll tell you how it will impact those devices, and what affected users should do.

These Xiaomi devices are no longer eligible for any software updates

  • Xiaomi 12
  • Xiaomi 12 Pro
  • Xiaomi 12S Ultra
  • POCO X5
  • POCO X5 Pro 5G
  • Redmi K60E
  • Redmi 10 5G
  • Xiaomi Pad 6
  • Xiaomi Pad 6 Pro
  • Xiaomi Pad 6 Max

If your device is on the list, it will not receive any kind of software updates in the future. That also means no feature updates and no security patches.

What should these Xiaomi users do?

There’s no need to panic. The device will continue to function normally as it did before. So, you can continue using it for as long as you want. However, there are a few things you must be aware of.

If your device doesn’t receive security updates regularly, it will stay on an older patch level. That means it won’t have patches for newly discovered vulnerabilities, which could result in a variety of security and privacy concerns. This could be a big deal if your phone has banking applications or sensitive information.

While there’s no need to rush for an upgrade right now, it’s best if you do so at the earliest possible. That will also give you access to the latest features and upgrades. The upcoming HyperOS 4 is expected to be a major upgrade, bringing numerous exciting features, AI upgrades, and visual changes. You can read more about HyperOS 4 here.

Now, if you are wondering about potential upgrade options, there are plenty of excellent options, including Xiaomi 17 series and Xiaomi 15T Pro, offering five major Android OS upgrades and six years of security updates. You can further check out our list of Xiaomi devices that promise five major OS updates or four major OS upgrades to find a reliable upgrade.

Samsung prepares to expand One UI 9.0 beta to more Galaxy phones

Galaxy S25 One UI 9.0 beta

It’s been over two months since Samsung launched its One UI 9.0 beta program, but that has remained limited to the Galaxy S26 series, with no official confirmation regarding its expansion to other models. Fortunately, that’s going to change soon, as the first One UI 9.0 internal test build for the Galaxy S25 series has just been spotted on the test server.

As Tarun Vats shared, the first One UI 9.0 internal build for the Galaxy S25 Ultra carries the firmware version S938NKSUBZZG8. This build was spotted on Samsung’s Korean server, which means that Samsung could soon begin accepting beta applications in the country.

In addition to the Galaxy S25 series, the next wave of One UI 9.0 beta program expansion may include more devices, including the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Galaxy Z Flip 7, and a few mid-range A-series phones.

We expect that once the beta program reaches beyond the Galaxy S26 models, Samsung won’t take long to wrap up the beta program. A case in point is the One UI 8.5 beta program, which remained limited to the Galaxy S25 series for months, but when the expansion began, the pace was just impressive. We might see a similar rollout pattern with One UI 9.0 beta.

As for the stable version, it debuted on the newest Galaxy foldables earlier this week. However, there’s currently no specific rollout timeline for older Galaxy devices. Some leaks say the One UI 9.0 update may start rolling out in September 2026. We hope to hear an announcement on the same very soon, and will let you know on this blog.

Global Xiaomi 18 Pro spotted for the first time as Mix Fold 5 clears another certification in China

The Xiaomi 18 Pro has surfaced in its global variant for the first time, indicating that Xiaomi is preparing to bring its next premium flagship to international markets. At the same time, the upcoming Xiaomi Mix Fold 5 has moved a step closer to launch after receiving another certification in China, revealing a key charging detail.

Xiaomi 18 Pro global edition surfaces

Xiaomi 17 Pro

According to XimiTime, Xiaomi’s upcoming flagship, codenamed VENICE, has appeared in global databases with model number 26122PN61G, while the Chinese version carries model number M261DB. The listing suggests the Xiaomi 18 Pro will launch in several global markets, including Turkey, the EEA, Russia, Taiwan, and Japan. However, India is reportedly not part of the initial rollout. The appearance is significant because it points to Xiaomi releasing its Pro flagship outside China, unlike some previous models with limited availability.

The Xiaomi 18 Pro is also expected to continue the rear display introduced on the Xiaomi 17 Pro, a feature that remained exclusive to China. Under the hood, the handset is tipped to feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chipset. For photography, leaks point to two 200-megapixel SmartSens sensors, including a 1/1.28-inch 3.0 LOFIC primary sensor. The phone is also expected to include a dedicated AI button for AI-powered features and camera functions.

Xiaomi Mix Fold 5 gets 3C certification

Separately, Xiaomi’s upcoming foldable has received 3C certification in China after previously clearing SRRC and MIIT approvals. The certification indicates support for 67W wired fast charging. Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station also claims the device supports UWB connectivity, the N79 5G band, and Xiaomi’s in-house AI large language model.

Recent reports suggest the Xiaomi Mix Fold 5 could debut with Xiaomi’s Xring O3 chipset instead of Qualcomm’s next flagship processor. It is expected to feature a wider foldable design with a 7.5-inch to 7.6-inch inner display, a 200-megapixel primary camera, a 6,000mAh battery with wireless charging, full water resistance, and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. Which upcoming Xiaomi flagship are you more excited about, the Xiaomi 18 Pro or the Mix Fold 5? Share your thoughts in the comments.

MacBook Neo 2 specs tipped: A19 Pro chip, more RAM

The second-generation MacBook Neo is already in the works, and fresh reports suggest it’ll bring some meaningful improvements while staying true to its affordable roots.

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman and other sources, Apple is testing the device with the A19 Pro chip. They’re also looking at different memory options to make it better suited for everyday tasks and AI features.

The current MacBook Neo uses the A18 Pro (6-core CPU + 5-core GPU). The new version should jump to the A19 Pro, which is expected to deliver roughly 10-15% better CPU performance and up to 40% better GPU performance. That means snappier multitasking, smoother light creative work, and just a more responsive feel overall.

Interestingly, the laptop version of the A19 Pro might come with a 5-core GPU (instead of the 6-core one going into the iPhone 17 Pro). This tweak probably helps balance power and battery life for a laptop.

On the memory side, the current model has 8GB of RAM. There are strong hints that the MacBook Neo 2 will bump that up to 12GB. That extra RAM will be especially helpful for on-device Apple Intelligence features.

Apple isn’t planning any big design overhauls. They’ll probably stick with a similar compact, lightweight body and keep refreshing the color options to keep it feeling fresh. The current colors (Silver, Blush, Citrus, Indigo) are already pretty appealing, and more choices are expected down the line.

The MacBook Neo 2 is reportedly targeting a 2027 launch, which gives Apple plenty of time to fine-tune everything. This laptop isn’t trying to compete with the powerful MacBook Pro models. Instead, it’s shaping up to be a great pick for students, everyday professionals, and casual users who want solid build quality, good performance, and a nice design, all without spending flagship money.

Xiaomi launches Mijia Wireless Floor Cleaner 5C with 18,000Pa suction, 60°C hot-air drying, 45-min runtime

Meet the Mijia Wireless Floor Cleaner 5C, the latest in Xiaomi’s popular budget-friendly vacuum cleaner lineup. Officially priced at 999 yuan (~$150), it’s already dropping to 899 yuan with regular subsidies. Not bad for a feature-packed cleaner. It’s scheduled to go on sale August 3, following up on last year’s 4C model.

Xiaomi bumped up the suction power from 15,000Pa to a strong 18,000Pa, which should do a better job on dirt, dust, and pet hair across different floor types. They also added triple anti-tangle technology (it even earned TÜV certification), so you won’t have to keep stopping to untangle hair or fur. This is a big win for households with pets.

Other nice touches:

  • Lighter design that’s easier to push around
  • 60°C hot airflow for better drying and odor removal (helps prevent mold and bad smells)
  • Up to 45 minutes of battery life
  • Quiet operation at around 50dB

Xiaomi says it can clean a big 341m² apartment on a single charge, which should be plenty for most homes.

The 5C aims to fix common complaints from older models: stronger suction, less tangling, and faster drying. In China’s crowded smart home market, Xiaomi continues to make decent tech feel affordable, especially when you combine it with all the current discounts and government incentives.

It’s a perfect example of their strategy: give people useful, modern cleaning tools without making them pay premium prices.

There’s no word on global availability yet. But considering the 4C model is already listed on the brand’s global website, there’s a decent chance the 5C will eventually make its way to international markets.
