Xiaomi’s sub-brand Redmi is likely to launch the K70 series smartphones by the end of November. Details about the upcoming lineup have been gradually surfacing online, including renders and benchmarks. Now, Xiaomi officials have hinted at the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip for the Redmi K70 family.
Lu Weibing, President of Xiaomi China and General Manager of Redmi, took to Weibo to express his admiration for the second-generation Snapdragon 8 processor, calling it the “flagship darling of 2023” due to its exceptional performance and energy efficiency.

OPPO is gearing up to launch the Reno 11 series and the Pad Air 2 next week. The brand has been dropping teasers on its Weibo handle revealing key features of the upcoming devices.

Several major tech companies, including Apple, Disney, and Warner Bros Discovery, have paused their online advertising campaigns on X, formerly known as Twitter, after owner Elon Musk made an antisemitic remark on the platform.
The companies’ decision came in response to Musk’s reply to an X post that accused “Jewish communities” of pushing “hatred against whites.”
Major brands pull ads from X/Twitter over antisemitic posts
In response, Apple, and Disney have halted their X/Twitter ad campaigns, as first reported by Axios and The New York Times, respectively. Warner Bros Discovery, IBM, Paramount Global, and Lions Gate Entertainment have also suspended campaigns on the site.
An IBM spokesperson said that the company had “zero tolerance for hate speech and discrimination” and that it had “immediately suspended all advertising on X while we investigate this entirely unacceptable situation.”
The move comes as Musk faces growing criticism for his handling of X. Earlier this week, the site was accused of platforming antisemitism after it was revealed that ads from several major companies, including Apple and IBM, were being displayed next “to content that touts Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party.”
Musk has also been criticized by White House spokesman Andrew Bates, who said that Musk’s remarks were “unacceptable” and “hideous.” Bates also accused Musk of repeating “the lie behind the most fatal act of Antisemitism in American history.”
The suspension of advertising by several major companies is a significant blow to X’s finances. The site relies heavily on advertising revenue, and the loss of these advertisers could have a major impact on its bottom line.
The controversy surrounding Musk’s remarks is just the latest in a string of controversies that have plagued X since Musk took over the company in October 2022. Musk has been accused of everything from firing employees without cause to reinstating the accounts of banned users.
It remains to be seen whether Musk will be able to weather this latest storm, but it is clear that his behavior is having a serious impact on X’s reputation and business.
Samsung Foundry, the semiconductor chip manufacturing arm of Samsung Electronics, is making a comeback in the chip foundry market. After losing several key clients, including Apple, Nvidia, and Qualcomm, to rival TSMC, Samsung is now poised to reclaim some of its lost ground.
The turnaround is being attributed to Samsung’s significant improvements in its 4nm chip fabrication technology. Reportedly, the company has managed to match TSMC’s yield and performance for 4nm chips.
Samsung could manufacture AMD’s Zen 5c chips
This progress has caught the attention of AMD, which has reportedly decided to use Samsung Foundry’s 4nm process for its next-generation Zen 5c processors. The lower-end models in the Zen 5c lineup are expected to be made using Samsung’s 4nm process, while the higher-end models will utilize TSMC’s 3nm process.
The successful production of AMD Zen 5c chips by Samsung could potentially open the door for AMD to consider Samsung Foundry’s new 3nm GAA process in future endeavors.
Kim Yang-paeng, a researcher at the Korea Institute for Industrial Economics and Trade, believes that “if Samsung successfully secures an order for AMD’s 4-nano chips this time, it will pave the way for transactions in the ‘big chip’ field for servers, where Samsung has traditionally been less dominant. In the future, cutting-edge processes like 3-nano could become a reality for Samsung, further expanding its influence within the industry.”
Samsung’s improved chip fabrication capabilities are also attracting attention from other companies, particularly in the Generative AI segment. With TSMC’s chip production capacity overburdened due to the surge in demand for AI-related chips, companies are turning to Samsung Foundry as an alternative, given that these two companies are the only ones in the world capable of producing 3nm and 5nm chips.

Caviar, a luxury brand from Dubai, is known for creating custom smartphone designs using rare materials and unique patterns. They have recently unveiled a new collection for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, which takes inspiration from Norse mythology and emphasizes themes of masculinity and dynamism.
Caviar Versus Collection
The standout piece in the collection is the $9,000 iPhone 15 Pro Max Viking. It features a unique design with an ancient Viking arrowhead fragment dating back to 850-1000 AD embedded in it. The chassis is made of forged carbon, resembling the color of Lamborghini sports cars, and it’s enhanced with 24K gold frames giving the impression of the shape of a helmet, adding a luxurious touch to the phone.
Caviar’s iPhone 15 Pro series also includes other models like the Windstorm, Verdant, and Nord, each with unique color schemes and design elements. These models are available in four chassis colors – Blue (Nord), Green (Verdant), Black (Windstorm), and Grey (Viking) – providing a range of options for customers. While Apple‘s own iPhone 15 Pro might not offer bright colors, Caviar addresses this gap by introducing custom chassis in striking blue and green hues, along with the more subdued black and grey.
The series utilizes premium materials such as fine 24K gold and titanium, known for their durability and aesthetic appeal. The use of forged composites in dark green, blue, and grey adds a touch of sophistication to the devices.
Price-wise, the collection starts at $6,860 for the iPhone 15 Pro Windstorm, with the Viking model being the most expensive at $9,000. The Verdant and Nord models are priced similarly to the Windstorm. Each of these models is part of a limited edition, with only 17 units available for the Viking and 99 units for the Verdant, Nord, and Windstorm models. The company also launched the UFO collection for the iPhone 15 series last month.
