Xiaomi Auto began the delivery of its highly anticipated electric car, the SU7 earlier this month. The delivery ceremony was held at Xiaomi Automobile Factory in Yizhuang, Beijing, where Xiaomi’s founder and CEO Lei Jun opened the doors of each SU7 car and handed them over to their owners. The company planned to sell only 5000 units globally in the first batch.
Xiaomi Auto aims to sell more than 100,000 SU7 cars by 2024
Now a post from Lu Weibing, President of Xiaomi Group and General Manager of Xiaomi Brand reveals that Xiaomi CEO has set a sales target of more than 100,000 units of the Xiaomi SU7 car in 2024.
Lu Weibing revealed the latest delivery results of Xiaomi SU7. As of April 20, the number of Xiaomi SU7 orders has exceeded 70,000 units. “Today, Mr. Lei announced at the Xiaomi Investor Conference that as of April 20, the number of Xiaomi SU7 orders has exceeded 70,000 units!”
Xiaomi Auto has commenced the delivery of the SU7 car starting with Beijing and Shenzhen. Reportedly a nationwide delivery will be opened in the near future.
Lei Jun previously noted that the SU7 delivery centers cover 29 cities across the country, which reportedly covers the main markets for electric vehicles. Reports also hint that the delivery centers will cover 40 cities by the end of 2024.
At this point, Xiaomi Auth has a total of 59 stores across 29 cities covering Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Tianjin, Changsha, Taiyuan, Shenzhen, Wuhan, Hangzhou, Chengdu, and more.

According to Mark Gurman’s latest Power On newsletter, Apple is lagging behind in terms of artificial intelligence capabilities as compared to companies like OpenAI or Google. On the other hand, AI has practically become a buzzword for high-end Android and Windows devices. Now the company is working on the generative AI front. Last month the company acquired Canadian startup DarwinAI to fast forward its development. The latest news is that Apple has acquired a French startup named Datakalab.
Datakalab has been specializing in algorithms, that operate entirely on the device
Apple is reportedly taking a different approach to generative AI. While the generative AI features on devices are currently backed by server-side large language models, Apple wants to run LLMs on-devices. It will help them ensure user privacy since user data does not have to leave the iPhones and reach servers, that can be shared.
However, there’s only so much that can be done with on-device models. Apple needs to develop a decently capable yet power-efficient model. But doing so on their own will require time. And this is exactly where the acquisition of French startup Datakalab becomes relevant.
Datakalab has been specializing in low-power deep learning algorithms, efficient in terms of execution, respectful of privacy, and operating entirely on-device.
This company was founded in 2016 by two brothers – Xavier and Lucas Fischer. According to the European Commission, the agreement was signed back in December last year. The news is only coming out now thanks to French business magazine Challenges. The company reportedly had only 10 to 20 employees and several of them have also joined the new team at Apple. However, the two founders, Xavier and Lucas Fischer, reportedly didn’t join Apple. This is the company that worked with the French government during COVID-19 in deploying AI tools in transportation systems to detect whether people were wearing compulsory masks or not.
What was once a fierce competitor to Xiaomi in China, Meizu’s popularity has dwindled over the years. So much so that Meizu is looking to pivot into the AI industry, with preparation going on for the past couple of years in this direction.
Despite this, new rumors state that the brand’s Meizu 21 lineup is not dead yet, and we might see a couple of devices in the coming days.
The new device, namely the Meizu 21 Note, is said to feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 along with a 5500mAh battery and 66W fast charging.
If you remember, Meizu’s smartphones have always been minimalistic and beautiful. It would be a shame to actually see the brand quit the smartphone business. More details here.
Nothing Phone (3) is rumored to come in the second quarter of this year. A new report speculates that the phone could launch sometime in July 2024, but we don’t have any concrete details right now.
Well, to be fair, this seems to be more like a speculation than a solid rumor, given how last year’s Phone (2) also launched in July.
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is working on its own LLM to power on-device gen AI features on iPhones.
The primary advantage of a large language model (LLM) is that the AI is local to the device. As a result, smartphones will no longer need to rely on cloud services to power AI features. Additionally, the data remains on the device. So, on-device AI features will provide faster response times and better privacy than cloud-based alternatives.
Xiaomi’s previous-gen Smart Band 8 launched in China in April 2023 and made its way to the global market in September 2023.
That being said, the global launch of its successor could happen sooner than last time, as the Smart Band 9 has cleared multiple certifications that have greenlit its imminent launch in global regions. The latest ones being the United Arab Emirates TDRA and Indonesia Telecom certifications.
McAfee has identified a cunning scam targeting gamers. Hackers are offering a free game cheat tool called Cheat Lab, but it harbors a malicious surprise. This seemingly harmless software actually contains a hidden ransomware Trojan named RedLine.
Once unsuspecting victims install Cheat Lab, their key data is automatically uploaded to the hacker’s server. To further their reach, the hackers incentivize the spread of this malware by claiming users can unlock the cheat’s full functionality by sharing it with friends.
According to a Bloomberg article, the problem with Apple’s dropping sales is the devices themselves, as existing users do not want to use a new gadget. On the other hand, Apple wants more people to join its ecosystem.
In summary, Apple is not giving customers enough reasons to upgrade to new gadgets. But a cheaper entry point to Apple smartphones could change that.
Yesterday marked a significant milestone for Tesla in China as the company celebrated the 10th anniversary of delivering its first-ever Model S cars to Chinese customers. Since those early days in 2014, Tesla has seen remarkable growth in China’s electric vehicle market.

Gigabyte has launched the Metal Gear Plus ITX, a new mini PC that features AMD Ryzen 8000G series desktop APUs, offering a notable boost in performance compared to traditional mini PCs that rely on mobile processors. This model is designed to bridge the gap between the compact size of mini PCs and the power of desktop computers.

Details on global availability and pricing for the Gigabyte Metal Gear Plus ITX are yet to be announced.
Motorola has announced the upcoming arrival of its Moto Buds line of wireless earbuds in China, expected for a May release. While details on the availability of the Moto Buds+ are still unclear, Motorola’s official Weibo account confirmed the launch of the standard Moto Buds with a wider variety of colors. In other markets, the wireless earphones have been on the shelves for almost a week now.
The earphones were launched a week earlier in other markets.
Both the Moto Buds and Moto Buds+ share the same sleek design and boast 12.4mm dynamic coils for powerful sound. However, the key difference lies in noise cancellation features.
The budget-friendly Moto Buds offer a comfortable price point and solid battery life. For just 59 euros (around $63 USD), users can enjoy up to 9 hours of listening time on a single charge. A quick 10-minute charge provides an additional 2 hours of playback, making them ideal for on-the-go use. These earbuds come in a variety of stylish colors: starlight blue, glacier blue, coral peach, and kiwi green.
For those seeking more advanced features, the Moto Buds+ might be the better option. While official confirmation for China is pending, these earbuds boast Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) technology, co-developed with Bose, to effectively block out unwanted background noise. Additionally, Moto Buds+ are compatible with Dolby panoramic sound effects on Motorola phones, creating an immersive listening experience. They also offer both active adaptive mode, which adjusts noise cancellation based on your surroundings, and transparency mode, allowing you to hear ambient sounds when needed. While battery life dips slightly to 8 hours on a single charge with the Moto Buds+, a quick 10-minute charge still delivers a respectable 3 hours of playback. They match the Moto Buds with a selection of attractive colors: starlight blue, glacier blue, coral peach, and kiwi green.
Chinese company Moondrop has something lurking on the horizon. The company has posted teasers of its new upcoming phone on social media, including Instagram and X. The device looks stylish, but the company seems to be focusing on other aspects of the smartphone. Read on to find out.
The device looks to be focused on music, but the leak suggests a daily driver launch.
The first image showcases the phone itself, accompanied by a caption that emphasizes its ability to function as a high-fidelity (HiFi) music player. Moondrop highlights the phone’s slim design and boasts that it offers both a 3.5mm and a 4.4mm headphone jack, catering to a wider range of audiophile headphones.

The caption also mentions smooth operation for daily use, hinting that the phone won’t just be for music, but a fully functional daily driver.
The second image teaser seems to allude to a unique personalization feature, showcasing the phone with a “waifu cover” that transforms into a beautiful poster when zoomed in. “Waifu” is a term used in anime fandom to describe a fictional character a person has strong feelings for, and it suggests the phone might offer anime or other niche customization options. Who knows? The only other thing deductible from the first two posts
The third teaser simply ends with “If you’re interested in…”, leaving fans to speculate about other potential features. What do you guys think? Would you be interested in a smartphone with Hi-Fi audio functionality built in?

Xiaomi‘s Civi lineup has carved a niche for itself, offering a compelling blend of style, performance, and camera prowess targeted towards the fashion-conscious and photography enthusiasts. While the Civi 4 Pro (full review) recently debuted in China, rumors suggest its arrival in India under the moniker “Xiaomi 14 Civi.”
The Xiaomi 14 Civi is expected to carry forward a similar set of features tailored to the tastes and needs of the Indian market. Let’s delve into what we can expect from this potential flagship killer.
Based on the Civi 4 Pro, the 14 Civi is likely to boast a 6.55-inch 1.5K (2750 x 1236 pixels) C8 12-bit AMOLED display. The display is expected to feature a 120Hz refresh rate, a pixel density of 460PPI, a peak brightness of 3000nits, and a 240Hz touch sampling rate.
The display is likely to be protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, offering increased scratch and shatter resistance compared to previous generations. Additionally, the display is expected to come with features like HDR10+ support, Dolby Vision, and high PWM dimming (likely 2160Hz).
2. Performance
Under the hood, Xiaomi 14 Civi is likely to feature the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor built on a 4nm process along with Adreno 735 GPU. This chipset promises blazing-fast performance, handling demanding tasks like multitasking, gaming, and video editing with ease.
In terms of memory, expect configurations with 12GB or even 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM. Storage options will likely range from 256GB to a whopping 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage, offering ample space for apps, games, photos, and videos.
3. Camera
The Xiaomi 14 Civi is likely to inherit the impressive camera setup from the Civi 4 Pro. The rear camera system boasts a Leica-powered triple-lens configuration, with a primary 50MP sensor featuring a large 1/1.55-inch OV50K Light Fusion 800 sensor and an f/1.63 aperture.
Accompanying the main sensor is a 12MP 120° ultra-wide-angle lens for capturing expansive landscapes and group shots. Additionally, a 50MP 2X telephoto lens with OIS allows for capturing zoomed-in shots without compromising on quality.
However, the true highlight might be the dual front-facing camera system. This unique setup features a pair of 32MP sensors, one with a standard 78° field of view and another with a wider 100° field of view.
4. Software and Battery Life
The Xiaomi 14 Civi is expected to run on Xiaomi’s own HyperOS user interface based on Android 14. This interface typically offers a customizable experience with additional features compared to stock Android.
The phone might pack a 4700mAh battery with 67W fast charging support, which should provide a full day’s worth of charge for most users.
5. Additional Features
Other expected features include an in-display fingerprint sensor, an infrared sensor, stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, and a range of connectivity options like 5G SA/NSA, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, and NFC for contactless payments.
6. Pricing
There’s no info regarding the pricing of the device yet. Based on the pricing of the Civi 4 Pro in China, the Indian variant could start around ₹35,000 for the base variant (12GB RAM + 256GB storage), with prices increasing for higher storage options.
The competition in the smartphone market is getting fiercer by the day. It’s quite challenging to survive in a market where dozens of different brands are competing with hundreds of different models, but the rewards for those who succeed are substantial. As a result, while new brands frequently enter this billion-dollar industry, sometimes others throw in the towel and drop out.
The latest to do so was Meizu, with reports suggesting the company would focus on other technological areas, such as AI. However, it seems the reality may be different. Recent information indicates that the Meizu 21 Note will be released soon. Here are the details…
Meizu 21 Note: Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and Massive Battery Teased
Meizu’s upcoming return to the smartphone market with a new model has generated anticipation for some time. Leaks have indeed hinted at a phone with the model number M468Q, initially believed to be the Meizu 21X. However, recent information suggests the upcoming phone will actually be called the Meizu 21 Note.
This price-performance-focused flagship will utilize Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. While a slightly older SoC, the 8 Gen 2 remains a highly capable and powerful chip. The Meizu 21 Note will also boast a substantial 5500mAh battery with 66W fast charging capabilities.
Unfortunately, that’s all we know about the technical specifications of the Meizu 21 Note for now. There are no official statements about the phone, which is set to come with two model numbers, “M468Q” and “M468H.” However, a phone with similar characteristics that recently appeared in a 3C certification suggests that this launch might be closer than we think.

Samsung All-In-One Pro PC Specifications:
The Pro PC boasts a stunning 27-inch 4K anti-glare display with a peak brightness of 500 nits. Samsung claims this display delivers exceptional visuals even in brightly lit environments, making it perfect for both work and entertainment.
The base model comes equipped with the Core Ultra 5 125H processor, but users can upgrade to the Ultra 7 155H for even more power. In terms of RAM, the Ultra 5 comes with 16GB LPDDR5X-7467 memory, the Ultra 7 155H offers an optional upgrade to 32GB. Storage options are equally impressive, with users selecting between 512GB or 1TB NVMe solid-state drives pre-installed in dual slots for potential future upgrades.
For an immersive audio experience, the all-in-one PC features a premium 4-speaker setup from AKG. This includes two powerful 5W woofers and two clear 2W tweeters, delivering rich and balanced sound.
The machine comes loaded with ports, including a multi-card reader, two Thunderbolt 4 ports for high-speed data transfer and external display connectivity, a USB 3.2 port, a legacy USB 2.0 port for compatibility with older devices, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Additionally, it boasts HDMI input alongside Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3.
Samsung emphasizes this all-in-one PC’s ability to seamlessly integrate with the Galaxy ecosystem. Users can directly access files stored on their paired Galaxy phone on the PC, and vice versa. Furthermore, the PC’s mouse and keyboard can be used to control compatible Galaxy smartphones, creating a unified user experience.
The Samsung All-in-One Pro PC can even act as a secondary display for Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S series tablets, expanding the workspace and enhancing productivity.
While the built-in 5MP camera offers decent video conferencing capabilities, Samsung takes things a step further. It allows users to leverage the superior camera of a connected Samsung Galaxy phone as a webcam, significantly enhancing video call quality.
