Recently, the Chinese brand Xiaomi started to release the HyperOS update for the Xiaomi Pad 5. The new HyperOS is an important interface update that improves system optimization. Millions of users have now updated their phones to HyperOS. While many devices have received the HyperOS update, there are still some devices that have not received HyperOS. Now Xiaomi is starting to roll out the HyperOS update for the Redmi Note 13, Redmi 13C, and more.
Many models have now received HyperOS
Redmi Note 13, Redmi 13C/POCO C65 and Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G/POCO X4 Pro 5G are now receiving the HyperOS update. The Redmi Note 13 series launched with Android 13 based MIUI 14 out of the box. While this new Redmi Note series was expected to launch with HyperOS out of the box, they were working on MIUI 14. Xiaomi is rolling out HyperOS to the Redmi Note 13 series gradually. The Redmi Note 13 and Redmi 13C/POCO C65 were the last to receive the new update from this series.
In 2022, the officially announced POCO X4 Pro 5G was running Android 11 based MIUI 13 out of the box and had the latest Android 13 based MIUI 14. Now this model has started receiving the Android 13-based HyperOS update. The released HyperOS update is the last major update released for the Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G / POCO X4 Pro 5G. It will no longer receive a major interface update. It will only receive new security patches.
The build numbers of the update are OS1.0.2.0.UNGMIXM for Redmi Note 13, OS1.0.1.0.UGPMIXM for Redmi 13C / POCO X65 and OS1.0.3.0.TKCMIXM for POCO X4 Pro 5G. Redmi Note 13 and Redmi 13C received the Android 14 based HyperOS update, while POCO X4 Pro 5G received the Android 13 based HyperOS update.

Samsung is expected to launch the sixth-generation Galaxy Z foldable phones. Both the Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 have already surfaced in leaked renders. Now a tipster has shared the core specifications of the next-generation clamshell offering from the South Korean brand. It reveals some interesting upgrades.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 leaked specs suggest massive upgrade
The tipster on X (former Twitter) who goes by username @kro_roe says that the Galaxy Z Flip 6 will be available in Snapdragon and Exynos processor options. If this indeed turns out to be true, it will be the first time the South Korean brand will launch its foldable phone in two variants just like the flagship S lineup. Of course, Samsung will use the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 or the Exynos 2400 depending on the market region.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 is rumoured to get a significant upgrade in the RAM department. Alongside the base 8GB RAM, it will also be offered in 12GB. This will again depend on the region. The device will continue to be available in 256GB and 512GB storage configurations.
The tipster reiterates a previous report that the Flip 6 will be backed by a larger 4,000mAh battery unit. He also goes on to add that Samsung is working on making the external display support 120Hz refresh rate which would be another huge upgrade in years on the clamshell foldable phone.
It’s worth noting that this is just a rumor which should be taken with a healthy grain of salt. We are still a few months away from the Galaxy Unpacked event which is expected to happen in early July this year.
During his appearance at the China Development Forum in Beijing, Tim Cook, CEO of Apple Inc., praised Chinese suppliers for their innovative strides toward achieving carbon neutrality goals. The forum, hosted by the Chinese government and attended by Premier Li Qiang and over 80 foreign business executives, served as a platform for Cook to highlight Apple’s commitment to China amidst market challenges and global economic shifts.
Cook emphasized the pivotal role played by Chinese suppliers in Apple’s journey towards carbon neutrality, lauding their active participation and inventive approaches. Despite acknowledging Apple’s struggles in the Chinese market, including declining iPhone sales and intensified competition from local rivals like Huawei, Oppo, Vivo, and Xiaomi, Cook reiterated the tech giant’s long-term commitment to development in China.
During discussions with Commerce Minister Wang Wentao, Cook reaffirmed Apple’s dedication to deepening its foothold in China, emphasizing ongoing investments in research, development, and the supply chain. He also underscored the criticality of China’s supply chain to Apple’s operations, recognizing the country’s advanced manufacturing capabilities and skilled workforce.
In line with efforts to diversify its geographic footprint, Apple announced plans to expand its research center in Shanghai and establish a new applied research lab in Shenzhen. These initiatives aim to enhance testing and research capabilities for key products while fostering partnerships with Chinese suppliers.
Despite challenges posed by economic downturns and strained Sino-American relations, Cook expressed optimism about Apple’s future in China. He acknowledged the necessity of maintaining a positive relationship with the Chinese Communist Party while navigating dependencies on Chinese manufacturing.
Cook’s remarks at the China Development Forum underscore Apple’s strategic balancing act between leveraging China’s manufacturing excellence and addressing the need for supply chain diversification. As Apple continues to navigate market complexities, its engagement with China reflects a commitment to long-term growth and innovation in one of the world’s largest economies.
Realme and BOE have launched a new display that will premiere on the upcoming GT Neo 6 SE. Unveiled at an event today, the display boasts a remarkable peak brightness of 6000 nits and improvements in other aspects of the panel such as brightness, eye protection, touch responsiveness, and more.
Realme and BOE debuts 6000 nits display
A standout feature of this display is its impressive local peak brightness of 6,000 nits, making it the brightest in the world. While that’s the peak, the display offers a global maximum brightness of 1,600 nits, and a manual maximum brightness of 1000 nits.
The manual adjustment is particularly relevant to users as it is the one achieved by manually adjusting the screen brightness to its maximum level using the phone’s brightness slider.
The new display also supports a “game super HDR” feature that is said to offer a superior gaming experience with expanded dynamic ranges for stunning light and shadow effects.
While excelling in display capabilities, Realme hasn’t compromised on eye protection. The new display supports a new 3+1 Pulse low-frequency flicker, 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, and hardware-level low blue light capabilities. Additional features include adaptive display, sleep mode, and paper eye protection to reduce eye strain.
Furthermore, the display uses industry-leading 8T LTPO technology that offers smoother refresh rate transitions, reduced power consumption, and faster display response times. Realme says the panel’s refresh rate ranges from 0.5 to 120Hz.
Then there are some AI features on board as well. Realme has introduced what it calls a “Greenfield AI” eye protection function, which detects user fatigue and adjusts the display accordingly for various scenarios like system interfaces, media content, and e-books.
Additionally, there’s an AI game eye protection feature that will optimize the display during games for eye comfort.
The display also offers a 2500Hz instantaneous touch sampling rate for a responsive gaming experience, along with a “wonderful touch” function that customizes the touch experience for enhanced game control.
This new generation of display technology will debut on the Realme GT Neo6 SE, which is scheduled for an April launch. The company should announce more details about the smartphone pretty soon.
Huawei continues to expand its product family. After the excitement of the Mate 60 Series and Mate X50, the company’s next product is another smartphone. The Huawei P70 Series was recently delayed from its early March launch date, but it seems to be finally arriving. Industry insider Digital Chat Station says the P70 Series may launch very soon. Here are the details…
Huawei P70 Series Launch Could Happen Any Day Now
In a shift from their previous grand launch events, Huawei has adopted a new strategy for releasing products. The company now quietly introduces their offerings to the market, yet continues to see significant success. We recently saw this with the impressive sales performance of the Huawei Mate 60 Series in China. Similarly, the Honor X50 Pro quietly launched in China. The upcoming P70 series is poised to be the third Huawei smartphone line to benefit from this quieter launch strategy.
While the exact release date of the upcoming Huawei P70 Series still remains unknown, we’re starting to get a picture of its potential features. Rumors suggest it will carry an upgraded Kirin 9000 series chipset, possibly offering performance gains over the Kirin 9000S found in the Mate60 series. While specific performance details are unavailable, we anticipate power suitable for a current flagship smartphone.
Leaks suggest the Huawei P70 models will offer screen sizes of between 6.58 or 6.8 inches. Rumors indicate a curved LTPO screen with high resolution. The P70 series is expected to feature a main camera with either the OV50H or IMX989 sensor, along with a 50MP ultra-wide-angle lens and a 50MP 4x periscope telephoto lens. Pricing for the P70 series remains unknown, but last year’s Huawei P60 Art launched at 8,988 yuan (around $1,340), providing a potential price point.

The Nubia Z60 Ultra was one of the first to equip the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip and was launched towards the end of last year in China. Now the company is teasing a photography-focused version of the Z60 Ultra that will go on sale on March 28th.
Speaking of this camera-focused special edition, Nubia asks “Have you ever seen one with such AI?” (machine translated). So there’s probably some AI stuff going on behind its imaging. However, the general trend for special editions revolves around only a refreshed look.
ZTE has released a preview of the ‘Photographer Edition’ of Nubia Z60 Ultra

Nubia hasn’t released pricing for the upcoming photography-focused edition of the Z60 Ultra yet. We will update you as more information becomes available.
Realme is gearing up to add a new device in the GT Neo lineup with the GT Neo 6 SE. While Realme has shared some details about the smartphone, there’s still more to come, including its design.
Last week, we caught a glimpse of its schematics through a leak. But we’re still waiting for the full renders. However, a leaked image on Weibo has now revealed the real-life image of the GT Neo 6 SE, along with a render.
As you can see, there are three circular cutouts on the back likely housing three cameras and a flashlight. The camera module extends to the sides of the device, which is a departure from its predecessor, although the Neo 5 SE also featured a sizable camera island.
For a closer look at the design, you can check out the render below. However, it may not be entirely accurate, so it’s wise to take it with a grain of salt.
Realme has officially confirmed that the GT Neo 6 SE will be equipped with the latest Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chipset. It’s Qualcomm’s latest mid-range SoC with performance levels comparable to the Snapdragon 8-series SoCs.
The silicon features a prime Cortex-X4 core clocked at 2.8 GHz, along with four performance cores (A720) at 2.6 GHz and three efficiency units (Cortex-A520) at 1.9 GHz. OnePlus Ace 3V is the first smartphone to launch with the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3.
Despite the leaks and confirmations, there’s still much left to uncover about the Realme GT Neo 6 SE. Realme hasn’t even confirmed the official release date yet, but the increasing frequency of leaks suggests a launch in China soon.
OnePlus launched the OnePlus Buds V TWS alongside the OnePlus Ace 3V in the Chinese market on March 21. Starting today, both products are available for sale in the home country. Speaking of the OnePlus Buds V, it is now available for 149 Yuan (~$20). And if you purchase this audio product along with the OnePlus Ace 3V, the price is 139 Yuan (around $19).
Oppo Enco Buds2 Pro with refreshed colors and a lower price tag
The OnePlus Buds V is available in three different colors – Sandstone White, Interstellar Blue, and Shadow Black. For reference, it comes with a very similar design to the Oppo Enco Buds2 Pro, which offers a semi-in-rat design for the earbuds and a boxy looking design for the case.
These new earbuds from OnePlus come with 12.4mm titanium-plated dynamic drivers. It supports Dolby Atmos and dual-mic noise cancellation for calls. For the gamers out there, it comes with a 94ms latency, which is the same as the same as the Oppo Enco Buds2 Pro from January (priced around 169 Yuan).
For connectivity, it equips Bluetooth 5.3. Just as the product from Oppo, it also offers 8 hours of playback on a single charge and a total of 38 hours including the charging case.
Speaking of the in-ear experience, the earbuds are quite lightweight at 4.3 grams each, which also fits snugly in place. This product also equips an IP55 dust and water resistance rating which theoretically means protection against little splashes of water drops. So you won’t have to worry about sweat during your workout sessions.
Nubia launched the Red Magic 9 Pro in China in November last year. The device debuted in the global markets a month later in December. The brand also announced the smartphone in a White Special Edition earlier in January this year. Now, Red Magic on its official Weibo handle has teased the arrival of a new special edition variant of the Red Magic 9 Pro.
Red Magic 9 Pro Bumblebee Transformers Edition confirmed
The Red Magic 9 Pro is confirmed to come in Bumblebee Transformers edition. It is set to debut on March 29 at 10 am local time. The brand is tight-lipped about the details of the upcoming offering. For those unaware, Bumblebee is a fictional robot character appearing in the Transformers franchise.
This isn’t the first time Red Magic is announcing a Bumblebee Transformers Edition. The brand is continuing the tradition as it has launched a similar variant with the Red Magic 7S Pro and 8S Pro in the last two years. The last two phones have featured a design inspired by Transformer’s Bumblebee character in Yellow colour. Hence, we can expect the same on the Red Magic 9 Pro.
Additionally, the Red Magic 9 Pro Bumblebee Transformers Edition should come with a customised box. We can expect bundled goodies like a Bumblebee-themed charger, cable, protective case, badge, pins, and also an external attachable fan.
The limited edition phone is very much expected to retain the same specifications as the standard variant. This means a 6.8-inch 120Hz AMOLED display, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, a large heat dissipation system, and a massive 6,500mAh battery cell with support for 80W fast charging.
As planned, Xiaomi has launched its latest Mijia Smart Audio Glasses in China today. These smart glasses seamlessly combine audio capabilities with stylish eyewear, offering a unique blend of technology and fashion.

We’ve been hearing about the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 series for some time now, with leaks and rumors swirling around. Just last week, a leak surfaced revealing that the smartwatch could be equipped with the Exynos W940 processor.
Now, a fresh report from SamMobile suggests that Samsung is making significant changes to its upcoming smartwatch lineup.
According to the report, Samsung is broadening its Galaxy Watch 7 offerings to include three models. The company has only launched two models in the Galaxy Watch line thus far, so this is an interesting shift in strategy.
The expansion could also mean a change in the usual naming pattern for the smartwatches, though the exact naming scheme for these variants remains unknown.
Rumors also indicate that Samsung is tweaking the model number scheme for the Galaxy Watch 7 line. The first variant carries model numbers SM-L300 and SM-L305, while the mid-tier variant is said to have model numbers SM-L310 and SM-L315.
The highest-end variant of the Galaxy Watch 7 bears model numbers SM-L700 and SM-L705. It’s rumored that variants with model numbers ending with the number 5 will have cellular connectivity and eSIM capabilities.
Furthermore, it’s reported that Samsung is doubling the internal storage on the Galaxy Watch 7 to 32GB, up from 16GB on previous models. The increase in storage will be noteworthy for users as it will offer them more flexibility to download apps, watch faces, and offline music playlists.
Apart from this, the Galaxy Watch 7 line is expected to come with Wear OS 5 based on Android 14. The smartwatch along with Samsung’s new foldable, Galaxy Ring, and Galaxy Buds 3 are expected to launch at the rumored July 2024 Unpacked event.
OnePlus launched the Ace 3V smartphone a few days back in China. It’s the first device to be powered by the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chip. Now, the device is available for purchase in China, offering some impressive specifications and pricing.

A piece of Apple history has fetched a hefty price tag. A business card signed by Steve Jobs sold for a staggering $181,183 (roughly 1.312 million yuan) at RR Auctions on March 24th. This “ultra-rare, immaculate” card, estimated to be from around 1983, sold for a whopping 14 times the price of an unsigned Apple business card previously sold at the same auction house.
The card is one of the only five known certified Steve Jobs business cards
While not entirely flawless – the card shows some fading, a minor stain on the front, and faint tape marks on the back – its exceptional condition for a 40-year-old item is a key factor in its value. Signed memorabilia is even more desirable when its authenticity can be verified. This particular business card boasts certification from the prestigious Professional Sports Memorabilia Authentication Agency (PSA) with a coveted “Gem Mint Level 10” rating.
The card offers a glimpse into a key time for Apple. Signed during Jobs’ tenure as chairman of the board, it predates the launch of the iconic Macintosh computer. Apple’s main product at the time was the Apple Lisa, the world’s first commercial PC with a graphical user interface (GUI), even more advanced than the Macintosh but ultimately less commercially successful.
According to RR Auction House, this is one of only five known Steve Jobs business cards to have successfully passed PSA/DNA authentication. The signature itself is described as “neatly positioned and very clear.” It won’t be too long before another piece of Apple’s history shows up and sets a huge new record in the auction scene. Who knows? We’ll have to wait and watch.
China has taken a significant step towards cleaner urban transportation with the successful test run of its first domestically developed hydrogen-powered train. The historic run took place on Thursday morning in Changchun, Jilin province. Developed by CRRC Changchun Railway Vehicles, the train achieved a speed of 160 kilometers per hour while fully loaded. This successful test marks a major breakthrough in the application of hydrogen energy technology for rail transportation.
The average energy consumption is merely 5 kilowatt-hours per kilometer
Unlike traditional trains that rely on fossil fuels or overhead electrical lines, this innovative train boasts a hydrogen energy propulsion system. This system offers a powerful and long-lasting power source, with test data indicating an average energy consumption of just 5 kilowatt-hours per kilometer. This figure meets all design requirements and positions the train at the forefront of energy efficiency on a global scale.
The train boasts an impressive driving range exceeding 1,000 kilometers, significantly reducing the need for refueling stops. Prior to the test run, the hydrogen power system underwent rigorous testing for durability, performance in extreme temperatures (ranging from -25°C to 35°C), vibration resistance, electromagnetic compatibility, and fire safety. This comprehensive testing ensures the safe and reliable operation of the train.
This successful trial operation signifies a major milestone for China’s rail transit industry, paving the way for wider adoption of hydrogen energy technology. It also contributes to achieving key technological independence and control in the development of high-end transportation equipment. Hopefully, the trend spreads to more countries where energy balance can be achieved in due time.

Alongside availing the Intel Core Ultra powered ExpertCenter PN65 mini-PC, ASUS is also preparing to launch a new dual-band WiFi router with model number RT-BE88U, which is scheduled for launch on March 27 in China. Notably, ASUS has included some AI features in this product category too, and is marketing this router as “ASUS AI routing” (machine translated from Chinese).
This router has already passed the FCC certification and the quick start guide has been leaked revealing information about the device ahead of its launch. With WiFi 7, this device supports 1376Mbps speed with 2.4Hz and 5765Mbps with 5GHz band.
Ports and buttons:
The I/O port overview in the quick start guide reveals support for a 10G WAN/LAN port and 10G SFP+ electrical port, a 2.5G WAN/LAN port, 3 x 2.5G LAN ports, and 4 x Gigabit LAN ports. This device also offers a USB 3.2 Gen 1 port that supports 4K QAM (1.2x speed increase as compared to predecessor) and MLO (Multi-Link Operation), a DCIN port, a WPS port, and a reset button.
This machine runs on a 2.6GHz quad-core processor, and equips 256GB flash memory and 2GB DDR4 memory. Notably, this device supports up to 34GB WAN/LAN bandwidth.
Some spatial features
Speaking of the special features, this router reportedly comes with ASUS’s RangeBoost+ technology. Additionally, it offers some AI functions – an improved network protection with AI, AI sense acceleration, AI WAN port detection, and game acceleration. The AI sense acceleration feature enables the router to identify the packets and optimize data packets based on that.
After unveiling the ExpertCenter PN65 mini-PC earlier this year at CES, Asus has now released these machines in China. For those unaware, Asus ExpertCenter is a line of desktop computers designed for businesses, with reliability and security being the key selling points.
The ExpertCenter PN65 is a new mini PC in the ExpertCenter line, equipped with Intel’s latest Core Ultra processors. This compact desktop comes in two configurations: one with the Intel Core Ultra 5 125H processor, priced at CNY 5,199 ($719), and another with the Core Ultra 7 155H processor, available for CNY 6,199 ($857).
The PN65 upgrades include more powerful processors and Intel Arc Graphics, boosting its performance and making it more suitable for AI-driven applications. It also supports an impressive amount of memory—up to 96 GB of DDR5-5600.
On the connectivity front, the PN65 stands out with its variety of ports, including USB, HDMI, DisplayPort, COM, and VGA, and the capability to connect up to four 4K displays at once at 60Hz.
HKC has unveiled a new gaming monitor under its ANTGAMER lineup, the ANT253VF. The key feature of this monitor is its blazing-fast 360Hz refresh rate, designed to deliver an ultra-smooth gaming experience for competitive players. The monitor is now listed on JD.com in the Chinese market for a price of 2499 yuan (around $350). Let’s check out the key specs.
HKC ANTGAMER ANT253VF Specifications:
The ANT253VF boasts a 24.5-inch Fast IPS panel with a 1920×1080 resolution and 16:9 aspect ratio. The IPS panel technology ensures wide viewing angles and good color reproduction, while the 1ms GTG response time minimizes ghosting and blurring during fast-paced action.
The ANT253VF gaming monitor boasts a color gamut covering 99% of the sRGB spectrum, ensuring a wide range of accurately represented colors. With HDR 400 certification, it offers enhanced brightness and contrast, leading to more realistic and vivid images.
With a 360Hz refresh rate, the ANT253VF offers significantly smoother visuals compared to traditional 60Hz or even 144Hz monitors. This can give gamers a competitive edge by allowing them to react to in-game events more quickly and accurately.
The ANT253VF is compatible with AMD FreeSync and NVIDIA G-Sync variable refresh rate technologies for additional smoothness. These technologies eliminate screen tearing and stuttering that can occur when the monitor’s refresh rate is not synchronized with the graphics card’s frame rate.
The gaming monitor features versatile connectivity options, including two HDMI 2.0 ports for up to 240Hz gameplay and one DisplayPort 1.4 port that supports the full 360Hz refresh rate. Additionally, it features a 3.5mm audio jack, allowing gamers to connect headphones or speakers directly to the monitor for an immersive audio experience.
The ANT253VF is equipped with a variety of features that cater to gamers. It has a built-in aiming crosshair and dark field brightening mode, which can be helpful in first-person shooter games. The monitor also offers multiple scene modes that allow gamers to customize the display settings for different game genres.
The ergonomic stand of the ANT253VF allows for height adjustment, and swivel, tilt, and pivot functionality, ensuring a comfortable viewing position during long gaming sessions. Earlier this week, HKC also launched another gaming monitor with very similar specs.
