Xiaomi has officially announced the Redmi Book 14 (2026) and Redmi Book 16 (2026) in China. Both models are available starting today, with a limited-time 500 yuan discount for purchases made before April 23.

As a refresh of their 2025 counterparts, the new laptops bring iterative hardware upgrades. Here’s a closer look.

What’s similar

At a glance, the two laptops share most of their core hardware. Both the 14-inch and 16-inch versions are powered by Intel’s Core Ultra 5 125H processor, a 14-core, 18-thread chip designed for thin-and-light systems. Xiaomi says the laptops can push up to 60W of performance, backed by a dual-fan, dual heat pipe cooling setup.

Memory and storage configurations range from 16GB RAM with 512GB SSD to 32GB RAM with 1TB storage, with LPDDR5X memory clocked at 7467MT/s and PCIe 4.0 SSDs. There’s also support for M.2 expansion.

The two models don’t differ in battery capacity either. Both pack an 80Wh battery and ship with a 100W GaN USB-C charger. Xiaomi says the charger can also fast-charge smartphones, which fits into its broader “human, vehicle, and home” ecosystem approach. Features like cross-device camera, NFC, unified device control, and keyboard and mouse sharing are part of that pitch.

As for I/O, they have Thunderbolt 4, full-featured USB-C, HDMI 2.1, USB-A, and a 3.5mm jack. On paper, there’s little separating the two in terms of everyday usability.

What’s different

The differences mostly come down to size, display, and weight. The 14-inch model uses a higher resolution 2.8K (2880×1800) panel with 500 nits peak brightness, while the 16-inch version drops to 2.5K (2560×1600) and 400 nits. Both support a 120Hz refresh rate and use glossy panels, which may introduce reflections depending on lighting conditions.

Moreover, the 14-inch model weighs about 1.49kg, while the 16-inch version comes in at 1.86kg. 

Aside from that, the overall design, keyboard setup, and features remain largely the same.

Price

The Redmi Book 2026 series starts at 5999 yuan, which is roughly $900. The 16-inch model starts slightly higher at 5699 yuan, or about $930, keeping both devices in a fairly close pricing range.

Redmi Book 14 (2026)

• 16GB + 512GB: 5999 yuan ($900)
• 16GB + 1TB: 6499 yuan ($975)
• 32GB + 1TB: 6999 yuan ($1,050)

Redmi Book 16 (2026)

• 16GB + 512GB: 6199 yuan ($930)
• 16GB + 1TB: 6699 yuan ($1,005)
• 32GB + 1TB: 7199 yuan ($1,080)

MediaTek’s upcoming Dimensity 9600 Pro has previously been tipped to reach 5GHz clock speed. Now, a new leak from tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS) adds some rough performance numbers to the picture.

According to the insider, the Dimensity 9600 Pro could deliver Geekbench 6 scores of around 4200 to 4300 for single-core performance and around 12,000 to 12,500 for multi-core.

DCS notes that these numbers are early estimates based on engineering samples, so they aren’t final, but they do give an idea of where things might land.

For context, DCS claims the previous generation’s official figures were around 4,000 for single-core and 11,000 for multi-core. That puts the projected gains of Dimensity 9600 Pro in a noticeable range on paper, though not necessarily dramatic.

What can you expect?

Part of that performance bump comes from a more aggressive CPU design. The chip is said to feature a dual super-core setup, with both cores running at clock speeds close to 5GHz. The configuration is rounded out by three “Gelas-b” and three standard “Gelas” cores.

Essentially, the Dimensity 9600 Pro will feature a 2+3+3 core configuration with an “all-big-core” design. On the graphics side, the chip is tipped to include an Arm “Magni” GPU.

Its counterpart from Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro is expected to deliver a performance uplift of under 20%, despite reaching similar clock speeds near 5GHz.

The chip will be based on TSMC’s N2P process. While earlier leaks mentioned potential power savings in the 25 to 30 percent range, those figures remain unverified. Even so, moving to a newer node should help balance the higher clock speeds, especially if the chip consistently pushes toward that 5GHz mark.

According to previous reports, the Vivo X500 series and the Oppo Find X10 lineup will be the first to use the Dimensity 9600 chip.

After weeks of chatter, DJI has finally introduced its latest pocket-sized gimbal camera, the Osmo Pocket 4. The new model builds on the familiar formula of DJI’s long-running handheld gimbal series, but it comes with a larger sensor and a set of upgrades for creators.

DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Specifications

At the center of the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 is a newly upgraded one-inch CMOS sensor paired with an f/2.0 aperture. This combination brings a claimed dynamic range of up to 14 stops, which should help preserve more detail in both highlights and shadows.

It also supports a 10-bit D-Log color mode, offering greater flexibility in post-production.

The camera now supports 4K slow-motion recording at up to 240fps. On the audio side, DJI is adding spatial audio recording along with zoom audio pickup. There’s also support for OsmoAudio direct connection to DJI microphone transmitters, enabling up to four-channel audio recording. This makes the gimbal camera more practical for interviews or multi-source recording setups.

As for tracking, the Osmo Pocket 4 introduces Intelligent Follow 7.0, which supports subject tracking at up to 4x zoom. DJI has also added “Lock Subject Tracking” and “Priority Subject Registration” for a more stable and predictable tracking experience.

Gesture controls are part of the update as well, allowing users to start or stop tracking and recording without touching the screen.

For users focused on portrait shooting, DJI says it has calibrated the camera for more natural skin tones across different lighting conditions. There’s also a built-in beauty filter with adjustable smoothing, whitening, and tone settings.

It also supports an external fill light for adjustable brightness and color temperature in a compact form.

DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Pricing and Availability

The DJI Osmo Pocket 4 is now open for pre-orders, with deliveries scheduled to begin on April 22. DJI is offering the camera in three different bundles.

The base option keeps things simple, while the higher tiers gradually turn the Pocket 4 into something closer to a full creator kit.

After launching the Nord CE 4 Lite in 2024, OnePlus is jumping directly to the Nord CE 6 Lite this year. The device has been the subject of a few rumors in the past, some revealing its design and others its possible specifications.

In that regard, a Geekbench listing has now revealed the chipset of the OnePlus Nord CE 6 Lite. The smartphone appeared in the benchmark under the model number CPH2943 and is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chip.

The latter is confirmed by the core setup, consisting of four CPU cores running at 2.60GHz and four at 2.0GHz. Graphics are handled by the Mali-G615 MC2 GPU. Similarly, the device tested features 8GB of RAM and runs Android 16 out of the box.

With this setup, the OnePlus Nord CE 6 Lite managed to score 1,068 points in single-core and 2,953 points in multi-core tests.

OnePlus Nord CE 6 Lite: Rumored Specifications

As for other hardware specifications, the Nord CE 6 Lite is expected to feature a 6.7-inch LCD panel with support for a 120Hz refresh rate. That’s a noticeable downgrade from the Nord CE 4 Lite, which offered an AMOLED panel with a peak brightness of 2,100 nits.

The camera setup could be fairly simple as well. It is said to feature a 50MP main sensor paired with a secondary lens on the back, along with a 16MP front camera.

Keeping it up will be a large 7,000mAh battery. Its predecessor pairs a 5,110mAh cell with 80W fast charging. So, hopefully, the Nord CE 6 Lite will support similar charging speeds for quick top-ups.

Moreover, the 6GB + 128GB variant is said to cost under ₹23,000. However, these are just leaks, so take the details with a pinch of salt.

The OnePlus Nord CE 6 Lite is expected to launch alongside the OnePlus Nord CE 6 in India next month.

Huawei has unveiled a new smart home accessory in China called the Huawei Smart Lock M2. The lock officially went on sale today at 799 yuan (~$117), but a government subsidy brings the price down to 679.15 yuan, or around $100. And it’s a bargain for that price.

Huawei Smart Lock M2 Specifications 

The Huawei Smart Lock M2 relies on AI-based features, particularly for its fingerprint unlocking system. The company says the lock uses an adaptive AI fingerprint sensor that improves with each use, gradually refining recognition accuracy over time.

It unlocks in about 0.5 seconds, and Huawei claims a very low false recognition rate of less than 0.00001.

Beyond fingerprint access, the M2 supports a wide range of unlocking methods. Users can rely on NFC cards, physical keys, digital passwords, visitor or temporary passwords, and even Huawei smartphones and smartwatches. 

From a design standpoint, the device features a slim profile with a 0.5 mm “golden depth” and rounded edges. Both the inner and outer panels share the same dimensions, measuring 365 x 76.5 x 23 mm, and the entire unit weighs around 4.2 kg.

Powering the lock are four AA batteries, which Huawei says can last up to 18 months. There’s also a Type-C port for emergency power if the batteries run out, along with tiered battery reminders to avoid sudden shutdowns.

The M2 includes an EAL5+ certified security chip for handling sensitive data locally, along with an additional chip that independently verifies access permissions. It also uses a Class C direct-insertion lock cylinder so that the mechanical lock remains functional even if the outer panel is damaged.

Huawei is also offering a four-year warranty with the device. 

For the time being, there’s no word on availability in the international market.

A new set of renders, said to show the upcoming Xiaomi 18 Pro, has surfaced on the web, although the phone is months away from launch. 

From the renders, the Xiaomi 18 Pro retains the wide camera plateau on the back with a triple-camera setup along with a secondary rear display. To note, the render currently shows the interior of the phone, and not a finished look. 

The more notable addition this generation could be a new physical AI button on the side of the device. According to the leak, this button is designed for quick access to AI-powered features, with support for one-press activation in different contexts. It’s also expected to integrate with Xiaomi’s broader ecosystem, including smart home controls and even compatible electric vehicles.

That ecosystem angle is not new for Xiaomi, but a dedicated hardware shortcut could make those connections more immediate. The report suggests the button will be customizable, allowing users to assign different AI-driven actions depending on their needs. 

The rear display is here to stay

These renders are still early, and there’s no guarantee the final product will look exactly like this. That said, they line up with previous reports that Xiaomi plans to keep investing in the rear display concept. 

Lu Weibing, president of Xiaomi Group, has previously said the company wants to evolve the rear screen from a decorative element into something more functional.

On the current model, the rear display already supports features like translation during conversations, a teleprompter mode for video, and even simple interactive widgets. The expectation is that the Xiaomi 18 Pro will possibly turn the rear screen into a more independent interface rather than just an extension of the main display.

On the front, the phone is rumored to feature a relatively compact flat display with a 1.5K resolution. Internally, the Xiaomi 18 Pro is expected to debut with Qualcomm’s next-generation flagship chip, likely the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro, built on a 2-nanometer process by TSMC.

Oppo is not done with the Find X9 series yet, but rumors about its successor are already making headlines. The Find X10 lineup is expected to include three models so far: the Find X10, Find X10 Pro, and Find X10 Pro Max.

A new leak from Digital Chat Station on Weibo now claims that the vanilla model will feature a 6.59-inch display. It’s said to be a 1.5K flat OLED panel.

A previous report suggested that the Find X10 series could debut with a dual 200MP camera setup. The new leak backs that up, adding that even the base model may include dual 200MP rear cameras.

Among them, one is expected to serve as the main sensor, while the other could be a 200MP periscope telephoto camera, both reportedly using large 1/1.3-inch sensors.

The leak also sheds light on the battery. The Oppo Find X10 is now tipped to pack an 8,000mAh cell, nearly 1,000mAh larger than its predecessor. For comparison, the Find X9 features a 7,025mAh battery with 80W wired and 50W wireless charging support.

What else can you expect?

Beyond that, the standard Find X10 is said to be in testing with the Dimensity 9500 Plus, which is reportedly built on a 3nm process. Meanwhile, the Pro and Pro Max models are expected to step up to a more advanced 2nm Dimensity 9600-series chipset.

Moreover, a previous report reveals that upgrading the line to LPDDR6 RAM and UFS 5.0 storage could be challenging. That’s because the combination is said to be “comparable in price to a chip.” By comparison, the Find X9 series uses LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage.

Last October, Oppo unveiled the Find X9 lineup, and the company may follow a similar timeline this year by introducing the Find X10 series in October.

Huawei is bringing back one of its more unusual ideas. The company has confirmed that its next wearable, the Huawei Watch Buds 2, will be officially unveiled on April 20 at its Pura series launch event.

As the name implies, this is the second iteration of the product. The original Watch Buds launched in late 2022, combining a smartwatch with a pair of tiny wireless earbuds hidden inside the watch case. Now three years later, Huawei is giving it another shot.

The core idea hasn’t changed. The Watch Buds 2 still follows a “2-in-1” design, where the watch opens up to reveal a pair of earbuds tucked inside. A small push-button will likely release the top frame to access the buds. 

Huawei Watch Buds 2 still have those legless earbuds

We can see the watch in a brown leather strap with visible stitching and a metallic frame all around. The buds retain the octagonal, cylindrical, or bullet-shaped design from the predecessor. These compact, legless earbuds are designed to be interchangeable, meaning there is no specific left or right side. 

The previous model also used a highly integrated internal design to make everything fit. The earbuds were extremely small and support AI noise cancellation for calls. The watch itself also doubled as a fitness tracker, offering more than 80 sports modes and up to 30 hours of battery life. We expect the successor to build on these features.

Pricing and full specifications for the Watch Buds 2 are still unknown. The original launched at 2,988 yuan, so it’ll be interesting to see whether Huawei keeps it in the same range or pushes it further into premium territory.

We will know the full details on April 20. Stay Tuned.

OnePlus is gearing up to launch a new high-speed charging accessory in China. An official product page has gone live for the OnePlus 120W SuperVOOC Power Bank, and if it looks familiar, that’s because it is.

The device appears to be a straight rebrand of Oppo’s recently announced 120W SuperVOOC power bank.

Oppo has already opened pre-orders for its version. The power bank comes with a 15,000mAh battery and supports up to 120W output, allowing compatible Oppo and OnePlus phones to charge at their maximum supported speeds.

OnePlus hasn’t officially listed the full specifications of its version yet, but given the direct rebranding, the core hardware is unlikely to change. The main difference, at least for now, seems to be cosmetic. OnePlus is introducing the product in an “Accelerated Red” finish, whereas Oppo offers it in Star Orange and Space Black.

What can you expect?

What makes this power bank slightly more interesting isn’t just the charging speed, but also the timing. Oppo says its model complies with China’s upcoming power bank safety regulations, which are set to become mandatory in April 2027. These rules are designed to address concerns around overheating, battery degradation, and potential safety hazards in high-capacity portable chargers.

To meet these requirements, the power bank has reportedly undergone a range of durability and safety tests. These include puncture resistance, compression testing, high-temperature endurance, and long-term aging simulations.

The device is also expected to include Oppo’s “Ice Shield” battery technology. This system focuses on improving safety while also giving users more visibility into battery health.

Users may also be able to check the power bank’s condition over time. There’s also mention of traceability features, so manufacturing details can be accessed if needed.

Alongside the power bank, Oppo has introduced a compact dual-port 120W GaN charger. Interestingly, there is also a OnePlus version of this GaN charger.

Oppo just refreshed its F-series in India with the new Oppo F33 and Oppo F33 Pro. The two phones share most of their specifications, with differences mainly in areas like the camera and design.

The standard F33 has a rectangular camera module on the back that doesn’t look much different from last year’s model.

The Pro model, however, introduces a larger camera plateau and a more noticeable visual identity, even if the influence from recent iPhone designs is hard to ignore.

The standard model is available in Pearl White and Forest Green, while the Oppo F33 Pro comes in Starry Blue, Passion Red, and Misty Forest. The latter features a forest-like pattern on the back and a layered 3D depth effect that creates a subtle shifting look under light.

Both phones carry multiple protection ratings, including MIL-STD-810H certification and IP66, IP68, and IP69 dust and water resistance ratings. The Pro model also supports IP69K.

Oppo F33 and F33 Pro Specifications

Both phones share the same core specifications. There’s a 6.57-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and peak brightness of 1,400 nits. Powering them is a MediaTek Dimensity 6360 Max chip built on a 6nm process, paired with up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.

The Pro model adds a vapor chamber cooling system, which helps with sustained performance.

Oppo is packing a 7,000mAh battery into both models, paired with 80W fast charging. Features like reverse wired charging and bypass charging are also included.

On the camera side, both devices use a 50MP primary sensor with a 2MP depth sensor. The difference appears on the front — the F33 has a 16MP selfie camera, while the Pro upgrades to a 50MP ultra-wide sensor that can automatically adjust framing when more people enter the shot.

The phones run Android 16 with ColorOS 16 on top.

Pricing and Availability

The Oppo F33 starts at Rs 31,999 for the base variant and goes up to Rs 40,999 for the F33 Pro. Both devices are now up for pre-order through Amazon, Flipkart, Oppo’s online store, and offline retail outlets, with typical launch offers like cashback, exchange bonuses, and EMI options included.

Honor is one of the few brands offering smartphones with 10,000mAh batteries. The company already offers both mid-range and flagship models with these oversized cells, including the Honor Power 2 and the Honor Win series (Win and Win RT), respectively.

Now, the next milestone for Honor seems to be 11,000mAh.

A new leak from tipster Digital Chat Station claims the company has started trial production of a new battery with a rated capacity of 10,690mAh and a typical capacity of 11,000mAh.

The report does not name the phone, but it points to yet another Honor device built around a very large battery.

That would put the phone beyond Honor’s current official battery leader, the Power 2. The latter ships with a 10,080mAh battery, 80W wired charging, and 27W reverse wired charging.

Before that, Honor launched the original Power with an 8,000mAh battery and 66W charging. The growth over just one generation is quite significant.

Honor Power 2 Specifications

While details about this rumored 11,000mAh Honor device remain unknown, the Honor Power 2 offers a useful reference point.

It packs a 10,080mAh battery into a surprisingly slim 7.98mm chassis. Charging caps at 80W wired and 27W for reverse.

On the front, there’s a 6.79-inch OLED LTPS flat display with a 1.5K resolution (2600 x 1200 pixels). The panel is rated for up to 8,000 nits peak brightness and includes 3,840Hz PWM dimming for reduced eye strain.

Powering the device is the MediaTek Dimensity 8500 Elite chipset, paired with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage.

As for the cameras, it has a 50MP main sensor with OIS and a 5MP ultra-wide lens on the back, along with a 16MP front-facing camera. On the software side, it runs Android 16 with MagicOS 10 on top.

The Xiaomi 17 Max is making headlines again, this time for a regulatory filing in China. A new Xiaomi device with the model number 2605EPN8EC has passed China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology SRRC certification.

While the certification doesn’t confirm any specification except its connectivity (5G / WLAN / Bluetooth), it usually means that a launch isn’t too far away.

Based on earlier leaks, this device is widely believed to be the Xiaomi 17 Max, though some sources have referred to it as the Xiaomi 17S Pro. Either way, it’s a large-screen option in the company’s 17 series lineup. 

The model number also hints at Xiaomi’s internal timeline. It suggests a release window around April or May, which lines up with previous reports of a May debut in China.

What to expect?

According to previous reports, the Xiaomi 17 Max could feature a 6.9-inch flat OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and narrow bezels on all sides. The hardware will be led by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, paired with up to 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage.

Its camera specs are likely to include a 200-megapixel main sensor, paired with a 50-megapixel telephoto macro lens. It will also have a 50MP ultrawide lens. These specs are similar in comparison to the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max, but the latter also has a secondary display on the rear. The Xiaomi 17 Max is rumored to skip that. 

Other rumored features include symmetrical dual speakers, an X-axis linear motor, and a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. The device may also introduce a new silicon-based battery with a capacity starting in the 8,000mAh range, along with full water resistance and a metal frame. The overall design is said to follow a clean, minimalist approach.

Word on the street says OnePlus is working on a handheld console, and turns out it’s real. OnePlus official Li Jie confirmed in a livestream yesterday that the company is at least experimenting with a handheld gaming device.

During the stream, Li briefly showed a hand-drawn sketch of what looked like a portable console. The illustration wasn’t detailed, but the outline was clear enough to suggest it’s a gaming device.

Previously, tipster Digital Chat Station shared renders of a similar device. Those images pointed to a slightly boxy design with shoulder buttons, a rear camera, and colored grips.

So far, OnePlus hasn’t confirmed any specifications. But based on leaks, the device could feature an 8-inch display and run on a flagship chipset from MediaTek.

OnePlus’s gaming console will be touchscreen first

What could set this console apart is its approach to controls. Instead of relying entirely on joysticks and physical buttons, OnePlus may focus on a touchscreen-first interaction system. It’s expected to improve multi-finger input, reduce latency, and support high refresh rates.

Previous reports also mention system-level optimizations for games like Delta Force and PUBG Mobile.

The console is also expected to pack a larger battery, with hints of active cooling as well.

Alongside the console tease, Li also showed the OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra, a more immediate product powered by a Dimensity 9500 chip and a 165Hz display. It is closer to launch, while the handheld console is more of an experiment for now.

A report from March had already suggested that OnePlus was exploring an “Android handheld console” concept, possibly as part of a broader push by smartphone makers into new categories.

Nothing is official yet, and there’s still no timeline. But now that the concept has been teased by the company itself, a OnePlus console may not be too far off.

Global smartphone shipments are off to a slower start in 2026. According to IDC’s latest Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker, shipments fell 4.1% year over year in the first quarter to 289.7 million units.

The drop effectively ends a ten-quarter streak of growth that began around mid-2023. And we are all probably aware of the reasons. Supply constraints tied to storage components and rising costs. Both of these are expected to continue putting pressure on the market.

The top two companies still posted growth. Samsung and Apple were the only vendors among the global top five to record year-over-year gains.

The market outlook in Q1, 2026

Samsung returned to the number one spot for the quarter, thanks in part to the demand for the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. Even with a later-than-usual launch, shipments still rose 3.6% compared to last year. 

The company also filled the gap with earlier releases in its midrange A series, which helped stabilize volumes.

Apple followed in second place, with the iPhone 17 series seeing particularly strong demand in China. The company recorded more than 30% growth in the mainland, contributing to a 3.3% increase globally. That said, IDC notes that supply disruptions and weaker channel support in some regions kept that growth in check.

For the rest of the top five, things were a bit more muted. Xiaomi held onto third place despite posting the largest decline among the group. 

Oppo came in fourth, with stronger performance in China offsetting weaker international results. Notably, Oppo’s data now also includes Realme. Vivo rounds out the top five, contributing 7.3% of global smartphone shipments. 

Outside the top tier, there were a few bright spots. Honor, along with Lenovo (through Motorola) and Huawei, all managed to grow. Honor stood out with a 24% year-over-year increase, which IDC says is due to its overseas expansion. 

In China, total shipments reached about 69 million units, down 3.3% from a year ago. Even there, growth from Huawei and Apple wasn’t enough to offset the broader slowdown.

The post Smartphone shipments slip in Q1 2026, while Apple and Samsung continue to grow share appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Edge 70 Pro by Motorola is set to be announced in India soon. Ahead of the big reveal, the device has appeared on Geekbench, revealing its chipset and performance metrics.

According to details shared by tipster Abhishek Yadav, the phone appears on benchmark tests with 12GB of RAM and Android 16 out of the box. The listing also reveals an octa-core chipset, believed to be part of MediaTek’s Dimensity 8000 series—likely the Dimensity 8500.

The chip uses a mix of cores, including four efficiency cores clocked at 2.2GHz, three performance cores at 3.2GHz, and a prime core reaching up to 3.4GHz. Graphics duties are handled by a Mali-G720 MC8 GPU.

In terms of raw numbers, the device scores 1,727 in single-core and 6,563 in multi-core tests.

What to expect?

The benchmark leak comes shortly after a teaser microsite quietly went live on Flipkart. While the page doesn’t explicitly name the device, the design and finishes shown match previously leaked renders of the Edge 70 Pro. It is expected to come in three finishes: a fabric-like blue, a satin-style green, and a marble-inspired white.

Design-wise, the phone is expected to stick with familiar Motorola aesthetics, a curved display with a centered hole-punch camera, and a square-shaped module on the back housing a triple camera system. There is also mention of HDR10+ certification.

Moreover, certification listings suggest a 6,500 mAh battery with support for 90 W fast charging via USB-C. Other specifications have not been confirmed yet.

None of this is official just yet, but the pieces are starting to line up. Between the benchmark listing, leaked visuals, and the Flipkart teaser, it looks like Motorola is getting ready to formally introduce the Edge 70 Pro soon.

Huawei is preparing to launch its next flagship lineup, the Pura 90 series, on April 20. The Pro Max is the top-of-the-line model—there’s no Ultra this time—and Huawei today revealed some camera details about it.

The Pura 90 Pro Max features a 200-megapixel telephoto lens, a first for a Huawei flagship. The company says the camera can “capture everything, near and far.”

Huawei is also extending this capability to video. The phone supports up to 20x telephoto video recording using that same lens. While devices like the Galaxy S26 Ultra already offer similar zoom levels, Huawei’s emphasis here suggests strong optimization.

Moreover, the company also announced an AI posture recommendation feature for the Pura 90 series. If you tend to rely on the same poses in photos, the system can suggest alternatives. It’s another example of how smartphone makers are trying to make photography feel more guided rather than purely manual.

Huawei Pura 90 Pro Max Specifications

According to previous reports, the Pura 90 Pro Max features a 50-megapixel main camera with a 1-inch sensor and a variable aperture.

The company is also continuing with its second-generation Red Maple Image technology, which reproduces more natural colors. This is particularly relevant in scenes with complex lighting—such as sunsets or firelight—where maintaining accurate tones is often difficult.

On the hardware side, the device is expected to run on the Kirin 9030 Pro chip. It may also ship with the new HarmonyOS 6.1.

As for looks, the Pura 90 Pro Max will come in Obsidian Black, Dawn Gold, Purple Sunset, Orange Ocean, and Emerald Lake. All variants except Obsidian Black and Dawn Gold will feature a gradient finish. Storage options are expected to include 12GB/256GB, 12GB/512GB, 16GB/512GB, and 16GB/1TB configurations.

We should learn more about the new phones in the lead-up to launch.

Huawei is preparing to launch its next foldable, the Pura X Max and Collector’s Edition, on April 20. The device sits at the top of the company’s wide-folding lineup, and if a new leak is anything to go by, it may also come with a noticeably higher price tag than its predecessor.

According to a Chinese tipster, the Huawei Pura X Max is expected to start above 10,000 yuan (around $1,465). That would put it well above last year’s Pura X, which launched at 7,499 yuan (roughly $1,097).

Another reliable tipster appears to back that up, hinting at a price in the same 10,000 yuan range.

Huawei Pura X Max Specifications (Expected)

For the price, the tipster says the Pura X Max will bring a battery exceeding 6,000mAh. It’s also expected to debut with HarmonyOS 6.1, making it one of the first devices to ship with Huawei’s updated operating system.

As for performance, the standard Huawei Pura X Max will reportedly use the Kirin 9030 chip, while a higher-end Collector’s Edition could feature a Kirin 9030 Pro. Huawei hasn’t confirmed either chipset so far.

The hardware changes extend beyond internals. The Pura X Max is also expected to feature a larger 7.6-inch internal display, maintaining the wide-folding format Huawei introduced with the earlier Pura X.

The device may also include a periscope telephoto lens with Huawei’s XMAGE imaging system, along with a newer version of its Maple Leaf primary color technology.

Huawei will offer the Pura X Max in multiple color options, including Midnight Black, Zero White, Interstellar Blue, Olive Gold, and Vibrant Orange.

The company has some momentum going into this release. The earlier Pura X reportedly crossed 1.5 million units in shipments, a solid number for a foldable device.

The Honor WIN gaming laptop is scheduled to launch on April 23rd in China. However, the company has already revealed most of the interesting parts during a recent PC technology communication conference.

The main focus is cooling. Honor is using what it calls the Dongfeng tail jet cooling engine, which is built around a new airflow system. Instead of relying on a standard internal fan layout, the company has designed what it describes as the industry’s first centrifugal axial flow mixed air system.

This setup uses the thickness at the rear of the laptop to fit four self-developed axial fans in parallel, all connected through an internal airflow duct.

According to Honor’s test data, the system pushes internal airflow beyond 6.3 CFM, with total system airflow exceeding 21 CFM. The company also worked on shrinking the fan components, reducing motor size to around 10 mm while pushing speeds past 20,000 RPM. 

Compared to a typical three-fan setup, Honor claims this design increases internal airflow by 57% and overall airflow by 10%, while also lowering keyboard temperature slightly.

The cooling system is designed to support a total performance output of 270W. Honor says this allows the laptop to better sustain high loads, especially when paired with hardware like the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti. 

Compared to more traditional cooling approaches, the company claims a small gain in overall airflow and a 20W improvement in power handling under similar conditions.

Beyond this

Alongside the laptop, Honor also showed a 360W power adapter based on gallium nitride technology. It is designed to deliver full power while also supporting compatibility across different PC brands through interchangeable connectors. The company also introduced a set of accessories, including a backpack, gaming headset, and mouse, under the same WIN branding.

Beyond hardware, Honor used the event to talk about software and ecosystem plans. It announced what it calls the AI PC 3.0 era and introduced a new assistant, the YOYO Claw. The company describes it as part of a new category of AI-driven PCs, although details on how this will work in real use are still limited.

Xiaomi’s upcoming 18 Pro series has been showing up in leaks at a steady pace, and the latest one adds a few more details.

As you might already know, Xiaomi is reportedly working on two Xiaomi 18 Pro models: a smaller Xiaomi 18 Pro and a larger 18 Pro Max. 

Xiaomi 18 Pro Specifications (Expected)

According to prolific tipster Digital Chat Station, the smaller Pro model could feature a battery capacity starting in the “7,000mAh” range, along with support for both 100W wired and wireless charging. In comparison, Xiaomi 17 Pro has a 63000mAh cell. 

On the camera side, the report mentions a “dual 200MP” setup, alongside telephoto and macro capabilities. That lines up with earlier rumors, which also pointed to 200MP sensors from SmartSens for the Xiaomi 18 Pro. 

These new sensors are also expected to support LOFIC HDR 3.0, a hardware-based approach aimed at improving dynamic range.

There’s also talk of modular optics, including magnetic, snap-on lenses. If that actually makes it to the final product, it could give users more flexibility, especially for zoom or more specialized photography.

Performance is expected to come from Qualcomm’s next-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chip built on a 2nm process. It is likely to be paired with up to 16GB of RAM. 

Meanwhile, the larger 18 Pro Max could push battery capacity even further, with prototypes said to be targeting around 8,500mAh.

The Max model is also expected to retain the secondary rear display introduced last year.

As usual with early leaks, none of this is confirmed, and Xiaomi hasn’t said anything publicly. We’ll keep you updated as more details about the phone start to surface.

Android 17 is in its beta phase, and phone makers like Xiaomi are already deep into building their next software on top of it. The company’s upcoming HyperOS 4 has previously been rumored to bring a major shift, with earlier reports claiming a self-developed architecture under the hood.

Now, a few more details are starting to surface, courtesy of Weibo tipster Smart Pikachu. According to the leak, Xiaomi is reworking the core user interface for HyperOS 4. Its specifics are still scarce, but the tipster claims the system UI has undergone “significant changes.”

Xiaomi HyperOS with a Leica color palette

One of the more interesting claims is that Xiaomi is reportedly working on a dedicated Leica color palette for the OS.

Xiaomi’s partnership with Leica has mostly been visible in the camera app so far, especially in color science and filters. Bringing that aesthetic into the operating system could mean that Xiaomi wants the software to reflect the same “premium” tone as its camera hardware.

Moreover, Xiaomi also confirmed in January its aim to achieve “grand convergence” in 2026 with a self-developed chip, operating system, and large AI models on a single device. 

If all of this pans out, HyperOS 4 might not be about flashy new features as much as it is about refinement. A redesigned interface paired with a more cohesive visual language could make the experience feel more unified across Xiaomi, Redmi, and Poco devices.

Of course, it’s still early days. Xiaomi hasn’t confirmed any of these details, and the company is known for iterating quickly, which means features seen in leaks don’t always make it to the final release in the same form. So, as always, take it with a grain of salt.

Honor is getting into the marathon business, but not in the way most phone makers would. Instead of sponsoring runners or building fitness features, the company itself is sending robots to the starting line.

According to Honor’s Global Chief Marketing Officer, two humanoid robots named “Lightning” and “Energetic Boy” will take part in the upcoming Beijing Yizhuang Marathon on April 19. 

The “Lightning” is finished in red with glowing blue eye-like lights and a visible Honor logo. Meanwhile, “Energetic Boy” comes in silver with a blue lighting strip on the face. It looks more like a traditional humanoid robot, while the “Lighting” is something that we expect to see in movies.

According to Honor, “Lightning” combines its latest work in intelligent manufacturing with embodied AI. That includes motion-control algorithms designed for high-speed movement, along with real-time perception and decision-making systems that enable the robot to react to its surroundings without constant human input.

The marathon will stress-test these capabilities.

The two Honor robots will run on a 21km track

Organized by the Beijing Municipal People’s Government and China Media Group, the 21.0975-kilometer race runs from Tongming Lake to Nanhaizi Park, mixing city roads, racing circuits, and park terrain. It’s not a controlled lab environment, which is exactly the point.

Earlier this month, more than 70 teams — including four from outside China — took part in a full-scale overnight test organized by the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area. Below is a clip of Honor’s Lighting Robot during the practice.

The rehearsal covered everything from navigation to emergency response, which gave makers an idea of how complex it is to get humanoid robots to operate reliably over long distances.

The competition format also nudges teams toward autonomy. Robots can either operate autonomously or rely on remote control, but the rules make the latter less attractive by imposing time penalties and restrictions on human intervention.

Teams that manage to complete the race fully autonomously may even qualify for a Guinness World Records entry.

The iPhone 17 Pro series’ “Starry Orange” finish has been one of the most talked-about iPhone colors in years. It’s also inspired a wave of copycat shades across multiple Android brands. We’re looking at you, Honor. 

If a new leak is anything to go by, Apple may be planning a repeat performance next year with the iPhone 18 Pro lineup.

According to leaker Digital Chat Station, Apple is testing a new deep, more refined red finish for the next Pro iPhones. The shade is said to continue Apple’s recent strategy of turning bold colorways into headline features rather than secondary options.

What’s even more interesting is that some Android manufacturers have reportedly already started experimenting with similar tones. Copycat cycle, meet déjà vu.

What can you expect from the iPhone 18 Pro?

The iPhone 18 Pro is also rumored to feature a higher screen-to-body ratio. Leaks claim Apple is working to shrink the front cutout area, reducing its width from 20.76mm to 13.49mm. That’s roughly a 35 percent drop. 

The result should be a slightly more immersive display, though it’s the kind of change you’ll likely notice more on a spec sheet than in day-to-day use.

On the performance side, the iPhone 18 Pro series is expected to debut Apple’s A20 Pro chip. It will be among the first set of smartphone processors to be built on TSMC’s 2nm process. 

This year, Apple is also expected to launch iPhone Ultra, Apple’s first foldable, alongside the iPhone 18 series. 

However, there’s still some time before Apple officially announces the upcoming phones, but more details are likely to surface through unofficial channels as we get closer to launch.

The post iPhone 18 Pro could get Deep Red, and Android brands will copy again appeared first on Gizmochina.

It looks like Redmi is planning a new budget series, at least in China. A new Redmi phone from a brand-new “R” lineup has appeared in China Telecom’s product database, revealing its images and specifications. Interestingly, the listing suggests the device could go by either Redmi R70m 5G or simply Redmi R70.

According to the listing, the phone will be available in five memory configurations: 4GB + 128GB, 6GB + 128GB, 6GB + 256GB, 8GB + 256GB, and 12GB + 256GB. Meanwhile, the color options include Starry Night Black, Feather White, Cold Mist Blue, and Feather Purple.

Redmi R70m / R70 Specifications

On the hardware side, the phone features a large 6.9-inch display with a waterdrop notch. The resolution sits at 1600 × 720, which is just HD+.

As for the design, the phone has a flat, right-angled frame, with a 3.5mm headphone jack, speaker grille, and USB-C port on the bottom edge.

Camera hardware also stays on the basic side. There’s an 8-megapixel front-facing camera, paired with a dual-camera setup on the back. The main sensor is 13 megapixels, paired with a secondary 8MP lens.

Internally, the device is powered by a chipset labeled UMS9632. That is an Unisoc platform, which typically shows up in affordable devices rather than performance-focused ones. The phone runs Android 16 out of the box.

The Redmi R70m packs a 6300mAh battery inside a body measuring 171.56 × 79.47 × 8.2mm and weighing around 211.5 grams.

There’s still no official word on pricing or availability. But based on the specifications, the Redmi R70 series looks like another addition to Xiaomi’s growing portfolio of budget 5G phones.

The smartphone industry has been dealing with supply chain issues for years, but memory shortages are now harder to ignore than ever. A mix of rising demand for AI hardware and limited production capacity has pushed DRAM prices up, putting pressure on companies that rely on it to build phones.

According to reports from Wccftech and South Korean publication JoongAng Ilbo, Qualcomm is now working with Changxin Memory Technologies (CXMT) to develop custom DRAM tailored for smartphones. 

Since a large portion of DRAM manufacturing capacity is currently used for high-bandwidth memory (HBM), manufacturers are focusing less on mobile-focused memory, creating a shortage in the industry. 

This imbalance is affecting different segments in different ways. Flagship phones can absorb rising costs more easily, but budget and mid-range devices have less flexibility. 

Why could this be the right move?

Memory has quietly become one of the most expensive parts of a phone. DRAM alone makes up roughly a third of the total bill of materials, and when combined with NAND storage, memory accounts for more than half of the cost of building a typical device. This makes it harder for manufacturers to keep prices stable without cutting corners elsewhere.

There are already signs that the pressure is reshaping production strategies. Both Qualcomm and MediaTek are said to have scaled back orders for their mid-range 4nm chips. The reduction reportedly means tens of millions fewer chips.

In that context, Qualcomm’s collaboration with CXMT is a good move, if true. By working directly with a memory manufacturer, Qualcomm could gain more control over supply and maybe stabilize costs for its partners.

The partnership also has a geographic angle. China remains the largest smartphone market, and many of Qualcomm’s biggest customers are based there. Custom DRAM developed with CXMT could primarily serve that ecosystem, which will help local manufacturers navigate the current constraints more effectively.

Vivo quietly unveiled the Vivo X300 FE in Russia last month, but the phone’s broader rollout is just getting started. An India launch is expected in May, and a new leak suggests the company might have something extra in store for the market.

The core hardware won’t likely be much different, but according to 91Mobiles, the Vivo X300 FE could come with a 200mm ZEISS Telephoto Extender Kit in India. 

It’s a paid add-on that attaches via a dedicated case. According to reports, it enables 2.35x extended zoom, with support for up to a 200mm optical equivalent and a staggering 1600mm maximum focal length.

We’ve also gotten a closer look at the accessory. PassionateGeekz shared what appears to be an official render of the extender along with the phone’s pink variant. 

Vivo X300 FE Specifications

As for the phone itself, the Vivo X300 FE uses a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip inside with LPDDR5X Ultra RAM and UFS 4.1 storage. It comes in configurations of up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.

The device features a 6.31-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 2640 × 1216 pixels. The phone runs OriginOS 6, based on Android 16, and Vivo is promising five years of Android updates along with seven years of security patches.

On the camera side, the phone includes a 50-megapixel Sony IMX921 main sensor, a 50-megapixel telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens. For selfies, there’s a 50-megapixel front camera.

The X300 FE is backed by a 6,500mAh battery and supports 90W wired and 40W wireless charging. In Russia, the phone retails at RUB 60,124 (around $770) for the 12GB + 256GB variant.

India is also expected to get an additional green color option alongside the existing Moonlight White, Cool Purple, and Graphite Black variants.

Google has been quietly working on its own version of Apple NameDrop for a while now. The first signs surfaced back in November, and there’s already a video showing how it works. Now, a new report has revealed what Google plans to call it.

It’s called “tap to share.” Not subtle, but it gets the point across.

Folks over at Android Authority managed to enable the feature in Google Play Services v26.15.3.

Here’s how tap to share works

First, unlock your phone, bring the tops of the two devices together, and keep both screens facing up. From there, you can share contacts or send media like photos, videos, links, locations, and even “more”. You’ll need to hold the devices together until they glow, which acts as a visual confirmation that the transfer is underway.

There’s also a preview screen showing exactly what contact info you’re about to share before it’s sent, which is a nice touch.

If this all sounds familiar, that’s because it is. Apple NameDrop uses NFC to initiate the handshake, then switches to Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to actually move the data. Previous reports suggest Google is taking a similar approach here. The feature has even been spotted in Samsung One UI 9, hinting at broader ecosystem support.

And honestly, it’s about time. NameDrop is one of those small-but-delightful features with slick animations that make sharing feel effortless. Android has had plenty of sharing options over the years, but nothing quite this seamless.

We are not sure when Google will roll out the feature, but given how far along this build appears, it is safe to assume it will arrive sooner rather than later.

Huawei is set to launch the Huawei Pura 90 series phones in China on April 20th. The company has so far revealed and opened pre-orders for only two models — Huawei Pura 90 Pro and Pura 90 Pro Max — in China. 

If last year’s lineup is anything to go by, you’d expect four models in total. But that might not be the case anymore.

According to tipster Fixed Focus Digital, Huawei is scrapping the Ultra model altogether this generation. That is to say, Huawei Pura 90 series will have the vanilla, Pro, and Pro Max versions.

More interestingly, this might not be a Huawei-only move.

Many smartphone brands may discontinue Ultra models

Another well-known leaker, Digital Chat Station, claims that several other smartphone brands are also hitting pause on their Ultra-tier devices. Instead, the companies could reshuffle their portfolios. 

The Pro Max that just sits below Ultra might inherit some of the imaging features that would have otherwise been reserved for the Ultra. Essentially, the Pro Max will replace the Ultra. 

The tipster notes that this is due to soaring memory prices. And in these circumstances, launching an Ultra model would push the retail price beyond 10,000 yuan (~ $1500), which is far above the typical pricing range for Ultra series devices.

The current surge in memory prices shows no signs of easing either. According to a report by Counterpoint Research, the supply gap in the memory market is unlikely to be resolved until at least the second half of 2027.

This means cost pressures will remain a persistent challenge for the smartphone industry for a considerable period. Combined with factors such as limited demand for Ultra models, many brands may opt to discontinue the Ultra line. 

For consumers, though, the implications are harder to ignore. The era of pushing top-tier specs at relatively aggressive prices may be winding down. And as brands recalibrate, the barrier to entry for true flagship experiences is only getting higher.

The post Huawei drops Pura 90 Ultra from lineup, and sadly, the industry may follow appeared first on Gizmochina.

The benchmarking platform 3DMark has removed performance results for the RedMagic 11 Pro and RedMagic 11 Pro+ from its database.

According to reports, the listings for both devices were taken down because the manufacturer did not follow the rules during testing. The issue lies in how the phones handle performance limits when running benchmarking software.

3DMark says the devices behave differently when they detect its tests. Specifically, the phones are said to remove normal limits on power consumption and temperature while the benchmark is running. This allows the chipset to operate at unusually high levels without throttling, even as temperatures rise.

From 3DMark’s perspective, this creates results that don’t reflect typical real-world usage. The platform’s rules are designed to ensure that scores represent the performance users can expect under normal conditions, not in a special testing mode. Because of this, the results were classified as a violation and removed.

Here’s what Nubia replies 

Nubia, the brand behind the RedMagic series, has responded by defending its approach.

In a statement to Android Authority, the company said its devices are built for “high-performance experiences,” particularly in demanding gaming scenarios, and include multiple performance modes that users can enable. It specifically pointed to a feature called “Diablo Mode,” which is designed to push the hardware to its limits under heavy workloads.

The company also said that benchmarking should be viewed as “an indicator of a device’s performance potential under controlled, high-load conditions,” adding that results can vary depending on system settings and usage.

In other words, Nubia is saying that the scores reflect what the hardware is capable of, even if that level of performance isn’t always active by default.

It’s not surprising to see a brand optimizing specific apps to run better—that’s actually a good thing. But in the case of benchmark apps, this shouldn’t happen, as it is considered manipulation of scores.

Huawei has a launch event scheduled for April 20, where it is set to refresh its Pura lineup. The update includes the Pura 90 series, which Huawei has already started teasing, and a foldable in the Pura X lineup. Now, according to tipster Digital Chat Station, this new model is called the Pura X Max.

The Pura foldable line from Huawei is known for wide-folding devices, and no surprises, the Pura X Max follows the same route. 

Huawei Pura X Max Specs (Expected)

However, unlike the original Pura X, the X Max is said to be a horizontally folding device. The design is the same as what’s expected for the Apple iPhone Fold (or Ultra, as rumors say), but Huawei will be the first to launch such a device. It will feature a 7.69-inch WQHD+ inner display and a 5.5-inch outer screen.

The inner display will offer more usable space, while the outer screen is designed for quick, everyday tasks. Huawei is reportedly sticking with a 16:10 aspect ratio, similar to its earlier model.

Lucky for us, another tipster, Fixed Focus Digital, has shared the foldable’s front and back design on Weibo.

There are also expected upgrades under the hood. The Pura X Max is rumored to use Huawei’s Kirin 9030 chip, which is also said to power the Pura 90 series. The chip reportedly uses a new 9-core architecture, with improvements in overall performance.

Moreover, the device is expected to include Huawei’s Red Maple Quad Camera system, with a particular focus on improving the telephoto lens.

As we mentioned earlier, this type of foldable design will not remain exclusive to Huawei for long. Apple is working on a foldable iPhone with a similar tablet-like aspect ratio, possibly arriving in September. Meanwhile, Samsung is also working on a wide-foldable called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide.

Xiaomi is raising the prices of some Redmi phones in China, and the changes are taking effect today. The company confirmed it’s bumping prices on three of its higher-end models: the Redmi K90 Pro Max, Redmi Turbo 5, and Redmi Turbo 5 Max.

According to the brand, the increases are due to the “continued sharp rise” in the cost of key components, especially global memory chips.

Here are the new effective prices

The most direct increase is to the Redmi K90 Pro Max, which now costs 200 yuan more across all configurations. The base 12GB + 256GB variant is now priced at 4,199 yuan, up from its earlier launch price of 3,999 yuan. Higher-end variants follow the same pattern, with the top 16GB + 1TB model now listed at 5,499 yuan, compared to its initial price of 5,299 yuan.

Things are a little less straightforward with the Redmi Turbo 5 and Turbo 5 Max. The prices have gone up, but not because Xiaomi is raising them directly. Instead, the company has ended its Spring Festival promotional discounts, effectively snapping both phones back to their standard retail pricing.

However, Xiaomi is still offering a 200 yuan subsidy on the 512GB variants, which slightly softens the impact for buyers considering higher storage options.

This means the Redmi Turbo 5 now starts at 2,299 yuan for the 12GB + 256GB model, while the Turbo 5 Max begins at 2,499 yuan for the same configuration. Previously, both models were available at lower “initial sale” prices during promotional periods.

None of this comes as much of a surprise. Memory prices have been trending upward for a while now, and manufacturers usually pass at least some of those costs down the line.

OnePlus may have just started teasing a new addition to its Ace lineup, likely the rumored OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra. The device has been circulating in leaks for weeks, but now there’s a more official signal that its launch might not be far off.

The hint comes from Li Jie Louis, President of OnePlus China, who recently suggested that a new “OnePlus Ace” phone is coming soon. While he didn’t explicitly name the Ace 6 Ultra, the timing lines up closely with recent certifications and leaks surrounding the device.

For instance, the phone recently appeared on China’s MIIT certification platform with the model number PMB110. These regulatory listings don’t reveal much on their own, but they usually indicate that a launch is getting closer.

OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra specifications

On the hardware side, the phone could feature a 6.8-inch OLED display with a 165Hz refresh rate.

As per previous reports, the OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra will have a 16-megapixel front camera. On the back, it is expected to include a 50-megapixel main camera along with an 8-megapixel ultra-wide sensor.

Powering the device will likely be the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chip paired with an 8,500mAh battery. Memory options are said to include configurations such as 12GB+256GB, 12GB+512GB, 16GB+256GB, 16GB+512GB, and 16GB+1TB. In terms of color options, the device may be available in Black and Titanium.

The Ace 6 Ultra is expected to go head-to-head with the Redmi K90 Max. The two are rumored to share the same chip, battery capacity, and refresh rate. Redmi has already started teasing the phone ahead of its expected launch this month.

As for global availability, it remains unclear whether the company plans to launch a tweaked version of the Ace 6 Ultra worldwide. In the past, a modified version of the Ace 6T was released globally under the OnePlus 15T moniker.

After the Find X9 Ultra, Oppo has now revealed the design of the Oppo Find X9s Pro ahead of its April 21 launch. It brings a noticeably new look to the back. Instead of a traditional camera island, the phone uses a horizontal layout that stretches across the upper portion of the device.

Inside that layout sits a square camera module, integrated into the design on the left side, while the right side has a visible step. The flash sits outside this camera module. 

As for color options, the Oppo Find X9s Pro will be available in Wind Rider Green, Free White, Energetic Orange, and Native Titanium.

Oppo Find X9s Pro Specifications

The Find X9s Pro uses a flat 1.5K display on the front, paired with a right-angled metal frame.

As expected, cameras are the centerpiece here. The Find X9s Pro is said to feature a dual 200-megapixel system co-developed with Hasselblad, including both a main and telephoto sensor. Oppo is also adding a teleconverter-style function for long-distance shooting. 

Alongside that, the phone includes a second-generation Danxia color system, a new LUMO imaging engine, and an updated Hasselblad Master Mode with native film-style output. Video recording goes up to 8K.

Under the hood, the device is powered by the Dimensity 9500 chipset, paired with a notably large 7,025mAh battery. For top up, it supports 80W wired and 50W wireless charging.

Other features include a 144Hz display, an eye-protection panel capable of dimming down to 1 nit brightness, ultrasonic fingerprint unlocking, and full IP66, IP68, and IP69 water resistance ratings. The phone will also run ColorOS 16 out of the box.

The Oppo Find X9s Pro smartphone will launch at 19:00 on April 21st. In addition to the Find X9s Pro and Find X9 Ultra smartphones, Oppo will also unveil the Enco Clip 2 earphones.

Nothing’s sub-brand CMF announced the CMF Phone 2 Pro in April last year. As the company refreshes the lineup once a year, early details about its successor are starting to surface right on schedule.

A new report from Android Headlines has revealed the specs of the CMF Phone 3 Pro ahead of its launch. Let’s learn about it. 

Nothing CMF Phone (3) Pro Specifications (Rumored)

According to the report, one of the biggest changes this generation could be the processor. The upcoming phone is expected to move away from MediaTek chips and instead use a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 4. The CMF Phone 2 Pro, by comparison, uses a Dimensity 7300 Pro processor.

The phone is also said to have a rated battery capacity of 5,090mAh, with a typical capacity of around 5,400mAh. That will be paired with support for 45W wired charging, up from 33W on the previous model.

Design-wise, the changes seem more subtle. The mid-frame could switch from plastic to metal, which may improve both in-hand feel and durability.

Likewise, the rear camera layout is said to stay mostly the same, although the flash placement has reportedly been adjusted to create more space between the third camera and the dual-camera setup on the left.

The display is tipped to be an AMOLED panel with a resolution of 2392 × 1080, along with a centered punch-hole cutout for the front-facing camera.

There’s no official confirmation yet from Nothing or CMF, and details could still change before launch. Still, if the report is accurate, the CMF Phone 3 Pro looks like a modest but deliberate update that will focus on incremental improvements rather than a major overhaul.

Huawei today confirmed that its next-generation Pura series will debut on April 20 in China, where the company will unveil the Pura 90 Pro and Pura 90 Pro Max. Pre-reservations for both devices kick off today at 12:08 PM China time, according to Huawei’s official Weibo account.

In the lead-up to the launch, Huawei has already shown off the design of two phones, and, to its credit, it’s not playing things too safe.

Both models feature a gradient finish across all of their color options, except black and white. This isn’t the first time Huawei has used gradients on its phone colors. The P20 and P30 series also experimented with similar finishes across select colorways. 

Around the back, there’s a rounded triangular camera module, paired with flat sides that give the phones a more structured, almost industrial look.

The teasers confirm that both the Pro and Pro Max share this overall design language, though the silhouette doesn’t stray too far from last year’s Pura 80 lineup.

Huawei Pura 90 Series Specifications (Expected)

On the hardware side, the Pura 90 Pro and Pro Max are both expected to use either the Kirin 9030 or the Kirin 9030 Pro processor. The phones will likely run HarmonyOS 6.1 out of the box.

Huawei may also bring its HyperSpace Memory technology to the series. Previously introduced on the Mate 80 Pro Max, it focuses on improving memory efficiency, allowing a 16GB RAM configuration to deliver an experience closer to 20GB through compression.

As expected, cameras remain a major focus for the Pura lineup. The Pura 90 series is rumored to feature a second-generation Maple Imaging System, along with a large 200-megapixel periscope telephoto lens.

`We should learn more about the new phones in the lead-up to launch.

The post Huawei Pura 90 Pro series launching on April 20: Here’s your first look at the bold new design appeared first on Gizmochina.

We’ve been putting the Samsung Galaxy S26 up against flagships from across the market. If you’re curious, it’s already faced off against the OnePlus 15 and the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro.

Today, we’re comparing the Galaxy S26 with a more recent flagship, the Vivo X300s, which launched just last week in China. Both phones sit in the increasingly competitive “affordable flagship” tier. But the two are very different ideas of how a flagship phone should be in 2026. 

Vivo is about bigger battery, higher megapixel counts, faster charging, while Samsung offers refinement, long-term support, and a more compact form factor. Let’s go through them in detail here. 

Design and size

The Galaxy S26, as you might know, is a relatively compact flagship. At 149.6mm tall and weighing just 167 grams, it’s noticeably smaller and lighter than the Vivo X300s. You can actually use it one-handed without thinking about it.

The Vivo X300s, by comparison, is large, and unapologetic about it. At 162mm tall and 217 grams, it’s closer to what you’d expect from an “ultra” phone. The extra size makes room for its bigger battery and camera system, but it also means you’ll feel it in your pocket.

Both phones use glass and aluminum builds, but Samsung uses Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on both sides and Armor Aluminum 2 for the frame. Meanwhile, Vivo offers IP68/IP69 ratings, which technically give it an edge in ingress protection.

Display

No prize for guessing, Vivo gives you more screen in almost every sense. The X300s has a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED panel with a 144Hz refresh rate, compared to the S26’s 6.3-inch Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X display at 120Hz.

On paper, Vivo offers a higher refresh rate, higher resolution (1260 x 2800), and features like 2160Hz PWM dimming and HDR Vivid. But in everyday use, you’re unlikely to notice a major difference between Samsung and Vivo.

Performance

Both phones run flagship chips, but from different ecosystems.

The Vivo X300s uses the MediaTek Dimensity 9500, built on a 3nm process with a peak clock speed of 4.21GHz. Samsung’s Galaxy S26, meanwhile, uses different chips depending on the region: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 in some markets and Exynos 2600 in others.

On paper, Samsung’s Snapdragon variant is slightly more aggressive, with a 4.74GHz peak core speed. But these are flagship SoCs, so everyday performance will feel smooth on either device.

Where Samsung pulls ahead is software longevity. The S26 promises up to seven major Android updates, compared to five on the Vivo. That’s a meaningful gap if you plan to keep your phone for several years.

Cameras

When it comes to cameras, the Vivo X300s goes all-in on hardware. It features a 200MP main sensor, a 50MP periscope telephoto, and a 50MP ultrawide. It even supports optional external zoom lenses with Zeiss optics.

Samsung, on the other hand, opts for a 50MP main sensor, a 10MP telephoto, and a 12MP ultrawide.

There’s no doubt Vivo has the edge in flexibility. Higher-resolution sensors allow for more cropping, and the periscope lens — plus optional add-ons — suggests it’s built for users who want to experiment with zoom and detail.

Samsung’s advantage lies in predictability. Features like Best Face, strong HDR processing, and consistent video performance make it easier to get reliable results without much effort.

Battery and charging

The Vivo X300s packs a massive 7100mAh battery, significantly larger than the Galaxy S26’s 4300mAh cell.

Charging speeds widen the gap further. Vivo supports 90W wired and 40W wireless charging, while Samsung sticks to 25W wired and 15W wireless. Even with Samsung’s efficiency optimizations, it’s hard to see it competing on endurance or charging time.

The S26 does offer reverse wireless charging and tighter accessory integration, but that doesn’t change the core difference: the Vivo is built to last longer and charge faster.

The bottom line

The Vivo X300s and Galaxy S26 don’t really compete on the same terms, even though they sit in the same category.

The Vivo X300s is all about maximizing hardware — a bigger battery, faster charging, higher-resolution cameras, and a larger, faster display. It’s trying to win on specs.

The Galaxy S26 is more restrained. It focuses on usability, long-term software support, and a compact design that’s increasingly rare among flagship Android phones.

Ultimately, it comes down to what you value more: raw hardware or a more balanced, long-term experience.

Just days after reports suggested the MediaTek Dimensity 9600 Pro could flirt with 5GHz clock speeds, a new leak is adding a bit more shape to the rumor.

According to tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS) on Weibo, the Dimensity 9600 Pro will use a 2+3+3 CPU layout built around what the tipster describes as a “dual-core all-big-core architecture.”

MediaTek Dimensity 9600 Pro core setup

More specifically, the chip is said to feature two high-performance “Canyon” cores, alongside three “Gelas-b” and three standard “Gelas” cores. The tipster further reiterates that the prime core clock speeds are expected to push close to the 5GHz mark.

The leak also mentions support for SME 2 (Scalable Matrix Extension 2), an extension designed to improve machine learning and AI-related workloads. On the graphics side, the chip is tipped to feature an Arm “Magni” GPU.

Memory and storage upgrades are also on the table. The Dimensity 9600 Pro is rumored to support LPDDR6 RAM and UFS 5.0 storage, both of which promise faster data throughput and improved efficiency over today’s standards.

Underlying all of this is TSMC’s N2P process. According to DCS, internal specifications reportedly suggest a 10 to 15 percent boost in performance alongside a 25 to 30 percent reduction in power consumption.

Interestingly, even Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro is expected to deliver a performance uplift of under 20%, despite reaching similar clock speeds near the 5GHz mark.

Anywho, as you might have guessed by now, the Dimensity 9600 lineup won’t be a one-size-fits-all affair. The Pro model is set to carry the most advanced architecture, while the standard variant is rumored to stick with a 3nm process and will likely target more mainstream devices.

According to previous reports, the Vivo X500 series and the Oppo Find X10 lineup will be the first to use the Dimensity 9600 chip.

Just weeks after unveiling the Enjoy 90 series, Huawei has quietly expanded its Enjoy 90 lineup with the launch of the Huawei Enjoy 90m Plus. Unlike the earlier announcement, this new model has appeared on Huawei’s official website without much fanfare.

Visually, the Enjoy 90m Plus has a noticeable change in the back design. Instead of two clearly separated lenses, the new model merges them into a single oval-shaped black capsule design. The design is more similar to the OnePlus 15 rather than the other Enjoy 90 phones. 

The phone also introduces an exclusive coral orange color option. It’s also available in white and black. 

Huawei Enjoy 90m Plus Specifications

In terms of performance, the Enjoy 90m Plus is powered by the Kirin 8000 processor. The phone runs on HarmonyOS 6.0 out of the box, along with Huawei’s AI-based security features to help prevent fraud and protect user data.

For storage, the Enjoy 90m Plus is available in 128GB and 256GB variants. On the camera side, it comes with a 50-megapixel rear camera that supports up to 10x digital zoom. On the front, there is an 8-megapixel camera for selfies and video calls.

The device features a 6.67-inch LCD with a 120Hz refresh rate. The resolution is HD+ (1604 × 720 pixels), which is not the sharpest in its class, but the higher refresh rate should help with smoother scrolling and animations. 

As for the battery, Huawei has equipped the phone with a large 6620mAh cell. It supports up to 40W fast charging, along with compatibility for 9V/2A charging. The device also includes support for StarFlash E1.0 and Bluetooth 6.0.

Huawei has not yet announced pricing or availability details for the Enjoy 90m Plus, but you can expect the final details to appear soon.

After announcing the Motorola Razr Fold in January, Motorola is now gearing up to launch its clamshell foldable. The device appeared in CAD renders a couple of weeks earlier. 

Now, new official-looking renders of the Razr 70 Ultra, or possibly the Razr Ultra (2026), have surfaced via OnLeaks in collaboration with Android Headlines.

Here’s your official look at the Motorola Razr 70 Ultra

The images suggest the device will arrive in at least two finishes: Pantone Cocoa Wood and an Orient Blue Alcantara option. Like its predecessor, the outer display houses a triple-camera setup, with all three sensors reportedly clocking in at 50 megapixels.

One notable omission from these renders is any clear look at the internal camera. According to Android Headlines, that’s likely down to early rendering inconsistencies rather than a redesign, so don’t expect Lenovo to ditch the selfie camera or move to an under-display solution just yet.

It is said to feature a 7-inch internal foldable screen paired with a 4-inch cover display. The left edge now features a dedicated Moto AI button, while power and volume controls stay right-mounted. The bottom houses a USB Type-C port, a speaker grille, a microphone, and a SIM slot. A secondary microphone sits topside.

Under the hood, the Razr 70 Ultra is expected to pack a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 series chip, alongside a familiar 4,700mAh battery and 68W fast charging.

Timing-wise, the launch could be strategically aligned with the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Lenovo and Motorola have partnered with FIFA as an Official Technology Partner for the event, so the company will reportedly target a debut in the weeks leading up to kickoff on June 11.

Not to forget, the Razr 70 standard model has already surfaced on China’s TENAA with images and specifications. Both will likely launch on the same day.
