It seems like Apple is getting more and more comfortable with OLED displays on its tablets! Market research predicts a surge in OLED iPad Pros, with shipments exceeding 9 million this year alone. Samsung and LG are gearing up to produce these displays for the upcoming iPad Pro refresh, expected between April and June. That’s mere months from now. But that’s not the most exciting piece of news from this report.
The iPad Air will utilize a single-layer OLED, while the iPad Pro has a double-layer version
Apple isn’t just stopping there. The rumor mill points towards an OLED iPad Air arriving in 2028, boasting a whole different technology compared to the Pro model. Analysts suggest the Air will utilize a single-layer OLED, while the Pro embraces a double-layer version for better performance.
While tablets get a visual upgrade, laptops aren’t left behind. The demand for OLED laptops is projected to soar, since the displays are so much more premium and capable than LCD variants. This market, unlike tablets dominated by Apple, is expected to see wider adoption of OLED technology from various manufacturers seeking to stand out from the crowd.
Looking beyond tablets and laptops, the future might be foldable for Apple too. Analysts predict a 7-8-inch foldable iPhone gracing us in 2026. With a larger foldable canvas, Apple could perfect the technology that’s been under testing by its biggest competitors (Wink, wink – Samsung and Google) who have perfected most aspects of foldable phones. We can expect brighter, clearer visuals and potentially a brand new foldable iPhone – the future of tech is looking bright (literally)!
Researchers at the JFS Laboratory in Wuhan, China have achieved a breakthrough in the development of high-performance photonic devices. Their innovation is a cost-effective chip that simplifies the manufacturing process for these devices.

Speed: Light travels significantly faster than electricity, allowing for much quicker data transmission over long distances.
Capacity: Light signals can carry a much larger volume of data compared to electrical signals, making them ideal for high-bandwidth applications.
Immunity: Unlike electrical signals, light signals are not susceptible to electromagnetic interference, ensuring reliable data transfer even in harsh environments.
Distance: Light signals experience minimal signal degradation over long distances, making them perfect for long-haul communication networks.
This research will pave the way for advancements in various technologies that rely on high-speed, reliable data transmission.
Electric vehicle drivers in Turkey have a whole new reason to celebrate! The country’s first liquid-cooled supercharging station, a collaboration between Enerji SA, Zebra, and Huawei Digital Energy, is now officially open. This supercharger was previously spotted, check out our coverage here. This isn’t your average charging station. Imagine this: you pull into the station, and by the time you finish your favorite beverage, your car is fully charged. That’s the promise of this innovative technology, boasting a speedy “cup of coffee and a full charge” experience.
The ultra-fast charging terminals can handle up to 4 vehicles simultaneously
The powerhouse behind this rapid refuel comes from Huawei. Their 600kW liquid-cooled supercharging host, paired with Zebra’s 500kW ultra-fast charging terminals, can handle up to four vehicles simultaneously. This means significantly reduced waiting times for EV owners on the go.
But speed isn’t the only perk. The system prioritizes sustainability. A rooftop photovoltaic system with an optimizer harnesses solar power, and space is reserved for future integration of an energy storage system. The commitment to green energy is further emphasized by EnerjiSA issuing green energy certifications for the electricity used at the station.
This project marks a significant step forward for both Turkey and Huawei. It aligns with Huawei’s ambitious goal of deploying tens of thousands of their ultra-fast charging stations across China in 2024, promoting “high-quality charging wherever there are roads.” With Turkey’s first station a success, could this technology be lighting the way for a future of rapid, eco-friendly EV charging on a global scale? I guess we’ll find out in due time!

Soundcore, the audio brand from Anker Innovations, has announced the launch of their second-generation sleep earbuds, the Sleep A20, in celebration of World Sleep Day. Building on the success of the Sleep A10 earbuds, the A20 promises improved noise isolation, a comfortable fit for side sleepers, and extended battery life.
The earbuds’ design makes it comfortable for side-sleepers too
Unlike some noise-cancelling headphones that struggle with intermittent sounds, the Sleep A20 utilizes a physical design to block out noise. Combined with a library of looping sounds from the Soundcore app, these earbuds primarily mask distractions and put you to sleep.
The Sleep A20 boasts several improvements designed to enhance your sleep experience. A new “twin seal” ear tip design achieves three times better noise reduction than the previous A10 model, effectively blocking out traffic noise or a snoring partner for a quieter sleep. Side sleepers will appreciate the A20’s curved design, which minimizes pressure on the ears and ensures a comfortable fit throughout the night. The soft silicone material further adds to the comfort.
Also, are you usually worried that your alarm will wake up your partner, or even other people in your house? The A20 features a built-in alarm that plays through the earbuds, gently waking you up without disturbing your partner. You can even choose from a variety of sounds for a personalized wake-up experience. The Sleep A20 also tracks your sleep patterns and position throughout the night, offering valuable insights into your sleep quality. And if you misplace your earbuds in the darkness, the A20 can emit an audible alert to help you locate them quickly.
One of the biggest improvements over the previous generation is battery life. The A20 delivers 10 hours of playtime in music mode and a whopping 14 hours in sleep mode. The Soundcore Sleep A20 earbuds will be available for pre-order on Kickstarter starting April 16th in select regions, including the US, UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Germany. Early backers can enjoy discounts of up to 40%. Wider availability through Amazon and other retailers is expected by the end of May, priced at $149.99.
The Huawei Mate 60 series has truly risen from its ashes. The company is showing significant growth in the smartphone market, particularly in China but also in many other countries, even surpassing major competitors like the iPhone 15 series. However, while the technologies used in this phone contribute positively to sales, they also lead to some legal issues.
For instance, we’ve previously discussed the troubles Huawei has faced with the US government. However, now it seems Huawei’s alleged legal dispute involves another Chinese technology company, or at least we thought so. Here are the details…
Recent reports suggest potential issues between Huawei and Huiding. Huawei has been actively developing in-house technologies to reduce external dependencies. One such innovation is their ultrasonic fingerprint reader placed under the screen. However, independent development doesn’t preclude potential intellectual property conflicts. Huawei faces allegations that it may have infringed on Huiding’s copyrights in this technology.
However, like many claims circulating online, this particular one proved false. While Huawei is indeed producing its own ultrasonic under-display fingerprint sensors, experts stress that accusations of patent infringement against Huiding are overblown. Additionally, the company has developed its own algorithm schemes for both optical and capacitive fingerprint readers.
Huawei first started using ultrasonic fingerprint technology in its Mate 20 Pro model in 2019. However, the R&D process goes much further back. Based on all of this, it is reasonable to assume that the company has sufficient experience in this field and does not need to infringe on any company’s patents.
Yesterday a seemingly leaked official-looking poster revealed the launch date of the Vivo X Fold 3 series. It also hinted at standard and pro variants. Leaks and rumours have been revealing information about the upcoming foldables. Now the X Fold 3 has appeared on the Geekbench benchmarking platform revealing its hardware details.
Vivo X Fold 3 appears on Geekbench
The Vivo X Fold 3 is listed on the Geekbench database with model number V2303A. This is the same as the 3C certification that revealed support for 80W charging. The benchmarking platform mentions a motherboard codenamed ‘kalama’ and it comprises three cores clocked at 2.02GHz, four cores ticking at 2.80GHz, and one primary core at 3.19GHz. The setup corresponds to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. This is in contrast to the rumoured Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 on the device. The listing also reveals 16GB RAM onboard but we can expect more options at launch. The foldable phone will ship with Android 14 OS out of the box.
In the Geekbench’s single-core and multi-core tests, the Vivo X Fold 3 scores 2,008 and 5,490 points respectively. The benchmarking database does not reveal any additional details of the device.
The Vivo X Fold 3 has already bagged IMEI, China’s Radio Certification, MIIT, and 3C certifications. This suggests its imminent arrival. As for core specifications, the foldable phone is rumoured to feature a 6.53-inch external and 8.03-inch internal display with OLED panel and ultrasonic fingerprint scanner. The X Fold 3 is tipped to be backed by a 5,500mAh battery unit and have a 50MP triple rear camera setup.
As per various reports in the past, Xiaomi is working on Mix Flip to rival clamshell foldable phones. Some key details of the device have already been leaked. The device had bagged MIIT certification in January this year suggesting the presence of satellite connectivity. Now reliable tipster Digital Chat Station has shared new information about the Mix Flip on Weibo.
Xiaomi Mix Flip ditches satellite communication
DCS says that Xiaomi did not add satellite communication on the Mix Flip in the end. However, the foldable clamshell phone is getting a telephoto camera and a larger battery. The tipster does not reveal any more details like the exact battery capacity. Previously, he stated that the device would feature a 50MP primary lens and a telephoto unit with 3x zoom support. The Mix Flip’s cover screen and camera module have a simple appeal. The internal screen is said to have zero perceptible creases.
The Mix Flip will likely be accompanied by the Mix Fold 4. Xiaomi and Honor have only launched book-style foldable phones compared to Samsung, OPPO, Vivo, and Huawei which offer both clamshell and horizontal folding phones. As per DCS, the Mix Fold 4 will be extremely thin and lightweight. It is tipped to have a 50MP quad-camera setup including a periscope lens.
Both the Xiaomi Mix Flip and Mix Fold 4 are rumoured to be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. Xiaomi has yet to share anything official about the existence of Mix Flip and Mix Fold 4. We should expect more details to crop in the near future.
Honor continues to expand its product family. In line with this, the company recently launched the Honor Band 9 smart wristband in India. The Chinese tech giant is now preparing to unveil a new smartphone. Honor will unveil the Magic 6 RSR Porsche Design on March 18. However, we don’t need to wait for the release date to learn about the upcoming phone’s features. In fact, the specifications of the Honor Magic 6 RSR were leaked by DCS recently. Here are the details…
Honor Magic 6 RSR Specs Leaked by Digital Chat Station
When it comes to smartphones, one of the first leaksters that comes to mind is Digital Chat Station. Most recently, the leakster shared new information about the Honor Magic 6 RSR. According to DCS, the phone’s screen will be 6.8 inches in size with a resolution of 2800×1280 pixels. The screen will also boast a 120Hz refresh rate. However, don’t let the 120Hz deceive you it will support variable screen speeds thanks to LTPO OLED technology, which provides power saving benefits on stable images.
The Honor Magic 6 RSR will also make a name for itself with its camera features. The phone will come equipped with a 50MP H9800 (OV50K) sensor, likely using Light Fusion Imaging Converter technology, which means it will particularly excel in photography. Additionally, it boasts a billion-pixel outsole periscope lens that supports 100x digital zoom, meeting the needs of users who require exceptional zoom capabilities.
Of course, the processor also plays a significant role in performance, and in this regard, Honor doesn’t disappoint – it uses the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. In line with the standards of 2024, this phone is expected to deliver powerhouse performance with 24 GB of RAM and up to 1 TB of internal storage capacity. This fits the profile of a true flagship device. On the battery side, it supports a massive 5600 mAh capacity with 80W wired and 66W wireless charging. The phone is also expected to be impressively thin at 8.9mm and weigh 237g. Of course, we’ll have to wait until March 18th to confirm these exciting specifications.
OnePlus is set to announce the Ace 3V smartphone in China next week. Ahead of the launch, the brand has already revealed the RAM and storage configurations, battery, and processor of the upcoming offering. Now, the OnePlus Ace 3V has been spotted in live images revealing its design and colour option. It looks a lot like the Nord CE 4 which will be a rebranded Ace 3V in the global market.
OnePlus Ace 3V live image reveals violet colour variant
The OnePlus Ace 3V is seen with a pill-shaped camera island housing two sensors and an LED flash unit. The flat frame has power and volume rocker buttons located on the right side. The device is seen in a Violet hue. The shade is similar to the OnePlus Ace 3 / 12R’s Genshin Impact Edition which was announced last month. We could notice a USB-C port and a speaker grille at the bottom whereas the top has an IR Blaster and two more cutouts. It seems that the Ace 3V will lack a 3.5mm audio jack.
Meanwhile, another look at the OnePlus Ace 3V’s front side revealed a centre-aligned punch-hole cutout display surrounded by thin bezels and an alert slider on the left edge.
The OnePlus Ace 3V is confirmed to be powered by a Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chipset that is expected to be announced on March 18. It will pack up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB UFS 4 storage. The global variant i.e. rebadged Nord CE 4 will have different internals.
We can expect OnePlus to share the official launch date of the Ace 3V and other details in the coming days.
