Realme looks ready to expand its Note lineup once again. According to a new report, the company is set to announce the Realme Note 80 on March 5th.
The report doesn’t stop at the launch date, either. It also spills the full spec sheet ahead of the official reveal. Here’s what to expect.
Realme Note 80 Specifications
The Note 80 is built around a 6.74-inch HD+ LCD panel with a 90Hz refresh rate and peak brightness of 563 nits. The screen is protected by an “ArmorShell” protection, which can reportedly survive drops from heights up to 1.8 meters. The phone also carries an IP54 rating and even supports wet-hand touch input.
Under the hood, it runs on an octa-core processor with an AnTuTu score of over 390,000. Realme is also guarentting 48-month of fluency.
Moving on, the Note 80 packs a large 6,300mAh battery with support for 15W charging. Realme says the battery is designed to maintain its health for up to four years. The phone is also rated to function in temperatures ranging from -20°C to 50°C.
Its camera hardware is modest, though. It features an 8-megapixel rear sensor and a 5-megapixel front camera. While not high on megapixels, Realme is emphasizing n built-in software features like object removal, face enhancement, and background cutouts.
Design-wise, the Note 80 measures 7.94mm thick and weighs 197 grams, which keeps it relatively slim despite what’s inside. Realme plans to offer it in Glacier Blue and Storm Black options.
We are still not sure of the pricing details, and Realme hasn’t shared official availability information yet. But based on its specifications, the Realme Note 80 is an entry-level smartphone that delivers on the essentials.

Samsung has quietly expanded the accessory lineup alongside its Galaxy S26 Series announcement with the launch of a new 25W magnetic wireless charger. The accessory makes charging simpler and more stylish for Galaxy owners, especially those who want a sleek magnetic solution rather than a traditional charging pad.
What’s New: Qi2 Magnetic Charging at 25W
Unlike most generic wireless chargers, Samsung’s new Magnet Wireless Charger uses the Qi2 standard, which is the latest wireless charging protocol that supports magnetic alignment similar in concept to Apple’s MagSafe. This helps ensure better alignment between the phone and charger for more efficient power transfer. Despite this magnetic alignment, Samsung’s latest flagships do not have built-in magnets for Qi2 by default. Meaning, you still need a compatible magnetic case to properly secure the device to the charger for full power delivery.
Samsung S25 Magnetic Charger
The charger itself is super-thin (about 4.4mm) and includes a 1.5m USB-C cable with a fabric exterior for durability and daily flexibility. Samsung claims this magnetic charger can deliver up to 25W of wireless power, specifically supported on the Galaxy S26 Ultra. The Galaxy S26+ and Galaxy S26, on the other hand, are capped at about 20W and 15W, respectively.
Samsung claims that the new 25W magnetic charger can bring the Galaxy S26 Ultra to around 50% charge in just under an hour. This new charging accessory carries a minimalist and ultra thin design with a textured USB-C cable to resist fraying and tangling. The brand has already listed the Magnet Wireless Charger in some regions, including the US, where it is listed for 49.99 US Dollars. The global release in other regions, like India, is expected to kick off soon.

Apple’s foldable iPhone has been “coming soon” for years, at least according to leaks. Now, a new round of details suggests the company may finally be closing in on one of the biggest challenges that’s kept it out of the foldable race: the display crease.
One of the main criticisms of current foldables, including devices like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, is the crease. It’s not always a dealbreaker, but it’s noticeable. Reports over the years have suggested Apple wasn’t willing to enter the category until it could meaningfully reduce that crease.
A new leak from Chinese Weibo account Fixed Focus Digital claims that progress has been made. According to the post, Apple’s first foldable, widely referred to as the “iPhone Fold”, could feature an inner display with a crease depth of under 0.15 mm and a fold angle below 2.5 degrees.
Those numbers might not mean much at first glance, but they’re telling. A smaller crease depth means a shallower indentation along the fold, both visually and to the touch. For context, a human hair is roughly 0.05–0.1 mm thick, so anything under 0.15 mm would be relatively subtle. Current foldables often measure significantly deeper at the crease. If accurate, Apple’s implementation would be among the flattest we’ve seen so far: not invisible, but close.
The display itself is reportedly being supplied by Samsung Display, using newer materials and improved lamination techniques to better distribute stress along the hinge.
Beyond the screen, a few design details are also circulating. The rear camera module is said to resemble the minimalist layout of the iPhone Air, featuring two sensors: likely a main and an ultra-wide. Touch ID could return, embedded in the power button, replacing Face ID to save internal space and avoid additional cutouts on the inner display.
Production orders are reportedly in place, pointing to a potential September 2026 launch window, possibly alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. If that timeline holds, Apple’s first foldable could finally become official next fall.
If the crease really is as shallow as claimed, it would explain why Apple has taken its time.

The design is expected to draw inspiration from both the DW-H5600 fitness-focused series and the metal-cased GM-5600 lineup, blending durability with a more premium aesthetic suitable for everyday wear, including business environments.
One of the key highlights could be the inclusion of a memory-in-pixel LCD screen. This display technology is known for improved readability and higher contrast compared to traditional panels, which should enhance visibility in various lighting conditions. Whether the display will use a positive or negative colour scheme remains unclear at this stage.
Recent reports suggest that Casio may unveil the GM-H5600 in March 2026, earlier than some previous estimates that pointed towards a broader 2026 release window. The watch is expected to debut first in Japan before expanding to other markets over time. Rumours also indicate that two colour variants could be available at launch, including silver and gold finishes, reinforcing its premium positioning within the G-Shock lineup.
While detailed specifications and official pricing have yet to be confirmed, the device is widely expected to target users looking for a rugged digital watch with added health monitoring features. More concrete details are likely to emerge closer to the official announcement as Casio finalizes launch plans.

US accessory maker SANDMARC has officially introduced a new telephoto add-on built specifically for Apple’s latest iPhones. Called the Tetraprism 72mm lens, the accessory is designed to mount onto compatible iPhone models and extend their native zoom capabilities by an additional 3x.
The lens is fairly substantial in size. It weighs 180 grams, measures 70mm in height, and has a 40.5mm diameter. There’s also a 17mm threaded mount built into the design. The size is closer to a compact camera lens that happens to connect to your phone.
SANDMARC Tetraprism 72mm lens for iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro
According to SANDMARC, the lens is tuned specifically for the quad prism telephoto system expected on the iPhone 17 Pro series. When paired together, the company says the setup can reach up to 24x zoom through optical magnification.
The accessory also works with older models. On the iPhone 16 Pro series and the iPhone 15 Pro Max, SANDMARC claims users can achieve up to 15x hybrid zoom.
The main pitch here is image quality at distance. Instead of relying heavily on digital cropping, the Tetraprism 72mm lens uses multi-element, multi-layer coated glass to reduce glare and maintain color accuracy. The company also points to improved optical compression, which can help with subject separation and give photos more natural depth.
The design is modular. It attaches directly to a dedicated iPhone lens case and works with other SANDMARC filters and accessories. The company says the lens is good for wildlife photography, events, and landscape clicks.
Chinese smartphone makers, in particular, have started offering a teleconverter set for their Ultra phones on their own. The latest Xiaomi 17 Ultra, for instance, comes with a 4.3x teleconverter lens.
It’s unlikely that Apple will explore this route anytime soon. So our best bet is to rely on accessory brands like SANDMARC for it.

Africa’s smartphone market had a strong 2025, even as global growth remained uneven. New data from Omdia shows the continent shipped 84.4 million smartphones last year, up 13% year-over-year, the fastest pace of recovery since 2021.
Growth accelerated toward the end of the year. Q4 shipments rose 14% to 23.1 million units, helped by expanded financing programs, improved currency stability in key markets, wider 4G rollout, and early 5G adoption in countries like South Africa and Egypt. Holiday promotions and aggressive pricing also played a role.
Smartphones now make up roughly 55% of total mobile phone shipments in Africa, highlighting the steady shift away from feature phones. Sub-Saharan Africa continued to outpace North Africa, acting as the main growth engine.
At the country level, South Africa led with 38% growth, driven largely by prepaid demand and strong uptake of sub-$100 devices. Nigeria followed with 25% growth, fueled by affordable 4G smartphones dominating the sub-$200 segment. Egypt grew 22%, supported by local manufacturing and value-focused portfolios. Kenya saw modest 3% growth amid cost pressures, while Morocco dipped 3% due to higher import tariffs.
Transsion — through TECNO, Infinix, and itel — maintained a commanding 48% market share for the year, shipping over 40.5 million units. However, its Q4 share slipped slightly as competition intensified in the entry-level tier. Samsung held second place, posting 27% Q4 growth thanks to the Galaxy A series and a broader mid-range portfolio. Xiaomi, Honor, and Oppo also recorded solid gains, particularly in expanding 4G and mid-range segments.
Still, challenges loom. Entry-level devices below $200 accounted for 81% of shipments in 2025, leaving vendors exposed to rising component costs. Average selling prices rose 11% in Q4 as consumers gradually shifted toward better-specced models.
Looking ahead, Omdia expects shipments to decline 23% in 2026 due to inflation and tighter channel inventory management. For now, though, 2025 stands out as a year of resilience and strong momentum for Africa’s smartphone market.

Samsung is expanding its Bespoke lineup again. The company has introduced the Bespoke AI Ice Purifier, a countertop appliance that combines water purification and high-capacity ice production in a single unit.
The concept is straightforward: instead of having a separate water purifier and ice maker, Samsung is merging the two into one device. For households that regularly consume filtered water and use a lot of ice, that consolidation could be appealing.
The purification system uses a four-stage NSF-certified filter. Samsung says it’s designed to remove bacteria, microplastics, heavy metals such as lead and mercury, and dozens of other contaminants, up to 82 in total. The company also claims the filter can block particles far smaller than a human hair, though real-world performance will ultimately depend on usage and local water quality.
The ice-making system is where Samsung is leaning heavily into the “AI” branding. The built-in module can reportedly produce up to 1,000 ice cubes per day, equivalent to around 8 kilograms, and store roughly 100 cubes at a time.
Hygiene is clearly a major focus. The unit features electrolysis-based sterilization for internal pipes every few days, automatic monthly cleaning for the ice box and tray, and UV sterilization at the water dispensing outlet. The idea is to reduce manual maintenance while keeping both water and ice as clean as possible.
On the smart side, the purifier integrates with Samsung’s broader ecosystem. It supports Bixby voice commands, allowing users to control water temperature and volume hands-free. Voice recognition can even differentiate between family members and recall personalized presets.
Through the SmartThings app, users can fine-tune water output between 50 and 1,000 ml and set hot water temperatures up to 90°C. The front touchscreen adds another layer of control, showing settings, weather information, and quick access shortcuts. Up to 20 custom presets can be saved for things like coffee brewing or preparing baby formula.
For now, the Bespoke AI Ice Purifier is exclusive to South Korea, and Samsung hasn’t announced plans for a wider release. The product is priced at 2.39 million KRW (roughly $1,650–$1,780 USD), clearly placing it in the premium segment.
Ai+ Smartphone, a relatively new Indian brand, is broadening its portfolio beyond phones. The company has announced a range of affordable audio products and smartwatches under the NovaPods and NovaWatch names, while also teasing new smartphones to round out its growing ecosystem.
NovaPods Clips
The NovaPods lineup covers multiple price points, but the core hardware remains consistent. All models use 10mm dynamic drivers and carry an IPX4 rating for splash resistance.
At the top of the range are the NovaPods Clips, priced at ₹3,999. These adopt an open-ear, clip-on design that wraps around the ear instead of sealing inside it. The idea is simple: let users stay aware of their surroundings while listening to music. Ai+ claims up to six hours of playback per charge, extending to 16 hours with the case. The earbuds also support Bluetooth 6.0, low latency rated at 50ms, and touch controls.
NovaPods ClipsNovaPods Clips
The NovaPods Pro, priced at ₹1,999, take a more conventional in-ear approach but add active noise cancellation rated at up to 40dB. Ai+ says they offer up to five hours per charge (30 hours total with the case), along with six-mic environmental noise cancellation for calls, dual-device pairing, and a slightly lower 45ms latency figure.
NovaPods Pro
At the entry level, the NovaPods Go come in at just ₹699. They skip ANC but include dual microphones, touch controls, and up to 6.5 hours of playback (24 hours total with the case). The company is also leaning into brighter color options here, including Forest Green, Midnight Black, and Ice Blue White.
The NovaWatch Wearbuds (also referred to as Ai+ Wearbuds) is the most distinctive model at ₹7,999. It combines a smartwatch with built-in detachable wireless earbuds housed inside the watch body. The watch itself features a 1.43-inch AMOLED display with 466×466 resolution, Bluetooth 5.3 dual mode, heart rate and SpO2 monitoring, and even ChatGPT integration. There’s 2GB of onboard storage for music, while the 310mAh watch battery is paired with 25mAh batteries inside each earbud.
More conventional is the NovaWatch Active, priced at ₹2,499. It features a 1.73-inch squircle AMOLED display (466×466 resolution), a functional crown, Bluetooth calling, IP68 water resistance, and a 300mAh battery. Standard health tracking features are included, such as heart rate, SpO2, sleep monitoring, stress tracking, and women’s health tracking.
NovaWatch Active
All NovaPods and NovaWatch products will go on sale exclusively via Flipkart starting February 27 at 12 PM IST.
With this expansion, Ai+ appears to be building toward a broader AIoT ecosystem rather than focusing solely on smartphones.
