Xiaomi’s HyperOS 3.1 iOS Bridge Rumored for Global Debut at MWC 2026

-

Feb 23, 2026

Xiaomi is preparing to launch the Redmi Buds 8 Pro globally, and the earbuds have already appeared on the company’s international website ahead of the announcement. The new model replaces the Redmi Buds 6 Pro and will be officially presented during Xiaomi’s February 28 event. The company has not shared pricing or release dates yet, but availability is expected shortly after the launch event or in early March.

The Redmi Buds 8 Pro focus heavily on audio performance. They use a new coaxial triple-driver system that Xiaomi says improves sound response and boosts bass below 100Hz compared to the previous generation. The earbuds are Hi-Res Audio Wireless certified and support the LDAC codec for high-resolution streaming. Dolby Audio is also included to improve clarity and surround effects, along with dimensional audio that supports dynamic head tracking for a more immersive experience across music, video, and gaming.

Noise control is another major feature. The earbuds support active noise cancellation up to 55dB with coverage up to 5kHz. Xiaomi says the system can sample environmental sound up to 32,000 times per second and automatically adjust cancellation based on surroundings and how the earbuds are worn. There is also a dedicated commuting mode designed for airplanes, trains, and public transport that combines noise cancellation with masking audio to reduce background distractions. For voice calls, the earbuds include three microphones per side with AI noise reduction and wind resistance up to 12m/s.

Battery life is rated at up to 8 hours on a single charge and up to 33 hours with the charging case. Each earbud contains a 54mAh battery, while the case has a 480mAh battery. Fast charging is supported, with a 5-minute charge providing up to 2 hours of playback. The earbuds support Bluetooth 5.4, dual-device multipoint connectivity, audio sharing between two pairs, Google Fast Pair, and customization through the Xiaomi Earbuds app. They also carry an IP54 rating for dust and water resistance.

The Redmi Buds 8 Pro will be sold in Cloud White, Glacier Blue, and Obsidian Black. Xiaomi is also offering a two-month Spotify Premium trial for eligible new users, redeemable through the Xiaomi Earbuds app before August 8, 2026, with regional plan differences.

WhatsApp is finally working on scheduled messages

By

-

Feb 23, 2026

Sending a message at exactly the right time on WhatsApp has never been straightforward. If you wanted to wish someone at midnight or schedule a reminder for later, you either had to remember manually or rely on awkward workarounds. That might finally change.

According to WABetaInfo, references to a new “Scheduled Messages” feature have been spotted in the latest WhatsApp beta for iOS (version 26.7.10.72), distributed via Apple’s TestFlight program.

The feature isn’t live yet, not even for beta users, but strings and internal references in the code suggest WhatsApp is working on a native way to compose a message, choose a specific date and time, and have it sent automatically.

A leaked screenshot shared by WABetaInfo shows what appears to be a dedicated section within a chat where scheduled messages would be listed. Users would presumably be able to review or manage pending messages before they’re sent.

The example shown in the leak appears to be from a group chat, but there’s no indication the feature would be limited to groups. It’s reasonable to expect support for one-on-one chats as well.

If implemented fully, this would bring WhatsApp closer to competitors like Google Messages and Telegram, both of which have offered message scheduling for some time.

Right now, Android users often turn to third-party automation apps to replicate the feature, which can require broad permissions and aren’t always ideal from a privacy standpoint. On iOS, it’s technically possible using Apple’s Shortcuts app, but the process isn’t exactly seamless.

It’s important to stress that this is still in development. The feature is hidden in the code and not accessible yet, which means timelines could change. Sometimes features spotted at this stage take months to arrive, and occasionally they never make it out of testing.

That said, scheduled messaging feels like a logical addition. It’s a small feature on paper, but one that many users have asked for over the years.

For global users dealing with time-zone differences, late-night greetings, or work-related reminders, having built-in scheduling would remove a surprising amount of friction.

For now, it’s a promising sign that one of the most requested features may finally be on the way.

Feb 23, 2026

Honor is heading back to Barcelona with big plans. The company confirmed today that its global launch event at Mobile World Congress 2026 will take place on March 1, where it will introduce two very different devices — the Honor Magic V6 and the Honor Robot Phone.

Honor Magic V6

The Honor Magic V6 is the company’s upcoming book-style foldable, which appeared in live images just days ago. It’s expected to feature a thin and lightweight design while being powered by Qualcomm’s latest flagship silicon, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.

The Magic V6 will reportedly pack a 7,150mAh battery with support for 120W wired fast charging. It could also include Honor’s self-developed C1+ radio frequency enhancement chip and the E2 energy efficiency enhancement chip.

On the camera side, it’s said to feature a 200-megapixel large-sensor main camera alongside a periscope telephoto lens. The company also claims full-level waterproofing and support for Beidou satellite communication.

Honor Robot Phone

Alongside the foldable, Honor is planning to unveil the Honor Robot Phone. The company calls it the industry’s first “robot phone,” featuring a hidden robotic arm gimbal that can deploy with a single tap.

According to Honor, this mechanism allows the phone to physically move for automatic composition, subject tracking, and enhanced stabilization.

Honor says the device is powered by a powerful AI system capable of seeing and responding in real time. It’s designed to follow users, capture moments automatically, and even act as a personal camera operator.

The built-in large-scale model, called YOYO, is said to include emotional perception capabilities. According to Honor, it can proactively suggest content, coordinate with other devices across its ecosystem, and function as a digital assistant that feels more personal and context-aware.

We’ll have to wait until March 1 to see how much of this vision translates into real-world use.

Feb 23, 2026

MediaTek has confirmed that Oppo will be among the first smartphone brands to ship a device powered by its new Dimensity 9500s chip. In a post on X via MediaTek India, the company said the Oppo Find X9s will be the first handset in the country to launch with the new silicon.

The Dimensity 9500s is built around an all-big-core CPU design that includes one Cortex-X925 core clocked at 3.73GHz, three Cortex-X4 cores running at 3.3GHz, and four Cortex-A720 cores at 2.4GHz. As for the graphics, the chip integrates a 12-core Immortalis-G925 GPU, clocked as high as 1.61GHz.

Oppo Find X9s Specifications

Meanwhile, the Find X9s is a camera-first flagship reportedly carrying three 50MP lenses on the back: a primary lens, a periscope-style telephoto lens, and an ultra-wide camera.

On the front, it features a 6.59-inch display with a 1.5K resolution and a 32-megapixel front-facing camera. The device is rumored to pack a 7,025mAh battery, paired with 100W fast charging.

It is also speculated that the X9s may not be on par with the X9. The device may ship with 12GB of RAM and 256GB or 512GB of internal storage.

Design-wise, the Find X9s is expected to feature a large, horizontally aligned camera module. The layout reportedly spreads the three cameras across one side, with branding and flash elements on the other. It might look more or less like the iPhone 17 Pro.

Interestingly, a previous report suggests that the Oppo Find X9s will not be released in China. Instead, the brand is said to be working on the Oppo Find X9s Pro for the Chinese market.

According to reports, it may arrive with a compact form factor featuring a 6.3-inch OLED 1.5K 120Hz display equipped with an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor. It could be powered by the Dimensity 9500 chip.

The Find X9s Pro is expected to debut alongside the Find X9 Ultra in March in China.

By

-

Feb 23, 2026

Unix has launched the UX-1519 NEOM in India, a 10,000 mAh power bank designed for users who need fast charging in a compact form. The device supports up to 22.5W Power Delivery and comes in a small square body that measures 7.5 cm by 6.5 cm, making it easy to carry in a pocket or bag.

Lenovo warns of price increases on commercial PCs and servers

By

-

Feb 23, 2026

Lenovo has reportedly informed its channel partners that price increases are on the way for several commercial product lines, as rising memory costs continue to pressure hardware makers.

In a letter shared with partners, the company pointed to ongoing volatility in the DRAM and 3D NAND markets. Demand from AI infrastructure and large-scale data center deployments has tightened supply, and vendors are now adjusting pricing to keep up with higher component costs.

The changes affect both major parts of Lenovo’s business. The Intelligent Devices Group, which covers commercial PCs and client hardware, and the Infrastructure Solutions Group, responsible for servers and data center equipment, are both included.

Lenovo’s North America leadership, including channel chief Wade McFarland and president Ryan McCurdy, urged partners to move quickly if they want to secure current pricing. Orders are recommended by February 25, with distributors submitting by February 28.

There’s also a practical detail worth noting: even orders received before February 28 could face repricing if they aren’t shipped by March 31, 2026. For ISG products, quote validity windows have reportedly been shortened — 14 days for internal bids and 30 days for external quotes — and those terms may shift again depending on market conditions.

None of this is happening in isolation. Other OEMs, including Dell, HPE and Cisco, have issued similar signals in recent weeks. The AI-driven surge in demand hasn’t just affected high-end GPUs; it’s putting strain on memory supply more broadly, which inevitably flows down to enterprise hardware pricing.

For businesses planning refresh cycles or infrastructure upgrades, timing may matter more than usual this quarter. While Lenovo’s communication to partners appears straightforward, it reflects a wider pattern: component costs remain unstable, and vendors are adjusting accordingly.

Whether this turns into a longer-term pricing trend will likely depend on how memory supply stabilizes in the months ahead.

Baseus 100W 20,000mAh power bank heads to Europe with dual built-in USB-C cables

By

-

Feb 23, 2026

Baseus is expanding the availability of its EnerFill FC41 power bank, bringing the 20,000mAh model with 100W output to European markets. The accessory has already been on sale in China and the US, and it’s now starting to appear on Amazon listings in countries including Germany and Spain.

One of the more practical aspects of the EnerFill FC41 is its design. The unit includes two built-in braided USB-C cables that tuck neatly into the body when not in use. Each cable features a small buckle-style fastening to keep things tidy, which means you don’t necessarily need to carry separate charging cables in your bag.

In addition to the integrated cables, the power bank includes one extra USB-C port and one USB-A port. That allows up to four devices to charge at the same time. Each USB-C output supports up to 100W under the right conditions, which is enough for most smartphones. When multiple devices are connected, the power is distributed differently, with the main USB-C delivering up to 65W and the remaining outputs sharing the rest.

With a 20,000mAh capacity, Baseus claims the unit can recharge a modern flagship phone several times over. A small digital display on the front shows the remaining battery percentage, replacing the simpler LED indicators found on many power banks.

Recharging the unit itself is handled through a 65W USB-C input, with a full refill taking around two hours. The EnerFill FC41 measures roughly 152mm tall and weighs about 430 grams, so while it isn’t ultra-light, it remains portable enough for travel and carry-on use.

Pricing and availability

Pricing in Europe appears to be set at €89.99, although listings currently show the product as temporarily out of stock. In the US, the official retail price is $79.99, though discounts are common.

Higher-wattage power banks like this are becoming increasingly common. The EnerFill FC41 doesn’t reinvent the category, but the built-in cables and strong output ratings could make it a practical option.

By

-

Feb 23, 2026

Ugreen has released an updated version of its Nexode 200W charger in Europe. The original model launched in 2025. The company confirmed that this new version includes internal optimizations.

The charger keeps the same four-port layout with three USB-C ports and one USB-A port. The first USB-C port supports up to 140W output with PD 3.1. The second USB-C port delivers up to 100W, and the third USB-C port provides up to 30W. The USB-A port offers up to 22.5W. Total combined output is 200W, which allows two laptops to charge at up to 100W each at the same time.

Ugreen states that the 140W USB-C port can charge a 16-inch MacBook Pro to about 50 percent in under 30 minutes. The charger also supports PPS and Super Fast Charging 2.0 for compatible smartphones and tablets. It is designed to work with devices from Apple, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Samsung, and Nintendo, along with many other USB-powered products.

The device uses GaNInfinity technology to improve efficiency and reduce heat while maintaining high power output. It includes an eight-layer protection system with safeguards against overvoltage, overcurrent, short circuits, overheating, interference, undervoltage, and flame risks. The housing is built with flame-resistant materials.

Despite the high output, the charger remains compact at 76 × 76 × 36 mm. The 4-in-1 design allows users to charge a phone, tablet, and two laptops from a single adapter, which can replace multiple chargers when traveling or working at a desk.

The upgraded Nexode 200W charger is now available in several European markets. Pricing starts at €79.99 in Germany and the Netherlands. In Spain and France, it is listed closer to €99.99.

Feb 23, 2026

Xiaomi has officially announced the global launch of its new Bluetooth tracker, the Xiaomi Tag. The company will debut the device on February 28, 2026, during its MWC event in Barcelona.

The Xiaomi Tag weighs 10 grams and measures 7.2mm thick. The device uses a CR2032 coin battery, which provides an estimated battery life of one year. Xiaomi has designed the tracker to help users quickly locate lost items, including keys, wallets, and bags.

The tracker supports both Apple’s Find My network and Google’s Find Hub ecosystem, making it compatible with both iOS and Android devices.

OpenAI may launch new $100/month ChatGPT Pro Lite subscription

By

Soumyakanti

-

Feb 23, 2026

OpenAI is reportedly preparing to launch a new subscription tier called ChatGPT Pro Lite, priced at $100 per month. Developer Tibor Blaho discovered references to the plan in the frontend code of the ChatGPT web app. OpenAI has not confirmed the plan or shared details about its release date, but the discovery suggests the company is working to address a pricing gap in its lineup.

OpenAI currently offers several subscription plans, including Free, Go ($8/month), Plus ($20/month), Pro ($200/month), Team, Business, and Enterprise options. Many users have criticized the large jump from Plus to Pro, leaving power users without a middle-ground option. The Pro Lite plan could fill this gap by targeting freelancers, researchers, and developers who require higher usage quotas but cannot justify Pro’s $200 price tag.

The new plan is expected to provide more advanced features than Plus but fewer capabilities than Pro. Code references suggest Pro Lite could offer three to five times the deep reasoning model usage quota of the Plus plan. Additionally, it may be designed to accommodate Codex usage.

This potential move comes as OpenAI navigates a challenging 2026. Despite $20 billion in revenue, the company faces a projected $14 billion annual loss due to ballooning compute costs, prompting a desperate search for a $100 billion funding lifeline.

Meanwhile, competition is heating up. The Gemini 3 now commands over 20% of the market thanks to Android integration, and Claude 4 has overtaken OpenAI in enterprise spending. User backlash over the abrupt retirement of the GPT-4o model has only added to the turbulence.

Pro Lite could be a game-changer, offering a more affordable option for power users while positioning OpenAI competitively against rivals like Google, which lacks a comparable mid-tier offering. Whether this will be enough to stabilize OpenAI remains to be seen.

In related news, OpenAI may also launch a ChatGPT-powered smart speaker equipped with a camera.

Nothing Phone (4a) design revealed via official render, flaunts new Glyph Bar

By

Feb 23, 2026

Nothing recently confirmed that it will unveil the Nothing Phone (4a) series of midrange phones globally on March 5. Ahead of the launch, the brand has gradually confirmed some of the series’ key details. Today, it rolled out a new image to showcase the Phone (4a)’s rear design for the first time.

Nothing Phone (4a) official image released

The Nothing Phone (4a) retains the brand’s signature semi-transparent aesthetic, showcasing a layered, industrial design with visible screws and geometric detailing. The dual-camera module sits neatly within an oval housing at the top, blending into the clean, minimalist back panel.

On the extreme right, the new Glyph Bar can be seen as a redesigned LED strip system. It uses individually controllable mini-LEDs to deliver brighter, more precise light notifications for calls, alerts, and app activity, while reducing visual clutter compared to earlier Glyph interfaces. The right edge of the phone has volume buttons and a power key, and the left spine features the Essential Key.

Rumors suggest that the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro may not feature this Glyph Bar. Instead, it may include a Glyph Matrix similar to the Phone (3) from last year.

Nothing Phone (4a) specifications (rumored)

According to leaks, the Nothing Phone (4a) is expected to feature a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, offering smooth scrolling and an immersive viewing experience. The device is rumored to be powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chip, paired with 8GB / 12GB of RAM and up to 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. It is likely to run on Nothing OS 4 based on Android 16, bringing the brand’s clean and minimal software experience.

In terms of cameras, the Phone (4a) is tipped to sport a 50MP main rear camera along with a 32MP front-facing shooter for selfies and video calls. While full camera details remain under wraps, the device is expected to focus on balanced photography performance. At present, there is no information about its battery and charging capabilities. The handset may arrive in multiple color options, including black, white, pink, and blue.

Galaxy S26 Ultra: every major improvement outlined in latest leak

By

-

Feb 23, 2026

Samsung’s next Unpacked event is scheduled for February 25, and as usual, most of the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s key details have already made their way online. From what we’re seeing so far, this looks less like a dramatic redesign and more like a focused refinement of last year’s S25 Ultra.

One of the more interesting additions is something Samsung calls Privacy Display. The feature narrows the viewing angles directly through a dedicated hardware layer on top of the pixels. When enabled, the display remains clear from straight on but darkens noticeably from the sides. In practice, it could be useful for reading messages or checking banking apps in public without worrying about wandering eyes.

Samsung is also upgrading the OLED panel itself. The S26 Ultra is said to use an M14 10-bit OLED panel, replacing the M13 generation used in the S25 Ultra. That should translate to better color depth and smoother gradients, while the screen size (6.9 inches), QHD+ resolution, and 120Hz refresh rate remain unchanged. Anti-reflective coating is also reportedly improved again, which could help outdoor visibility.

Wired charging is tipped to increase to 60W, up from the long-standing 45W limit. Wireless charging may also move up to 25W, up from 15W. Unfortunately, the previously rumored magnetic alignment on the wireless charging pad and other magnetic accessories may not happen this year, as built-in magnets interfere with the S Pen functionality.

Camera hardware changes look more subtle. Leaks suggest slightly wider apertures on the main and telephoto cameras, which should help in low-light conditions. The front camera may also get a wider field of view, making group selfies a bit easier. The core setup, including the 200MP main sensor, is said to remain intact, meaning improvements will likely come from software processing rather than entirely new sensors.

Performance should get its usual generational bump with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, bringing gains in efficiency and sustained performance over the Snapdragon 8 Elite of the predecessor.
