Feb 5, 2026

Announced in September 2025, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 is the company’s most powerful smartphone chipset until its successor arrives later this year. This flagship SoC already dominates some of the most popular benchmarks among all smartphone chipsets, and has been a strong choice for top-tier performance and excellent power efficiency.

Here, we’ll look at the benchmark scores of Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 from some popular and reliable platforms, including AnTuTu, Geekbench, and 3DMark.

Note: To obtain the benchmark scores, the tests have been performed on the iQOO 15, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 AnTuTu score

The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5-powered iQOO 15 achieves a total score of over 3.7 million on the AnTuTu benchmark (v11). The major contribution comes from the GPU, with a score of 1.4 million, while the CPU gets a little over a million. The memory and UX scores are also impressive at 435K and 827K, respectively.

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5
AnTuTu score	3,751,084
CPU	1,085,556
GPU	1,401,745
Memory	435,923
UX	827,860

While the iQOO 15 can’t reach the 4 million AnTuTu mark, the RedMagic 11 Pro, powered by the same chipset, does. This gaming smartphone unlocks the maximum performance of the device at the cost of high battery consumption, achieving an impressive 4,002,199 AnTuTu points.

Device/Chip	AnTuTu score (v11)
iQOO 15 (SD 8 Elite Gen 5)	3,751,084
OnePlus 13 (SD 8 Elite)	2,994,563
OnePlus 15R (SD 8 Gen 5)	2,961,236
Vivo X300 Pro (D-9500)	3,622,840

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Geekbench score

On Geekbench, the iQOO 15 (powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5) gets 3,649 points in the single-core test and 10,682 points in the multi-core test. These are solid Geekbench scores, which outperform MediaTek’s most powerful Dimensity 9500 chipset and, obviously, older Snapdragon chips with a big margin.

Device/Chip	Single core	Multi core
iQOO 15 (SD 8 Elite Gen 5)	3,649	10,682
OnePlus 13 (SD 8 Elite)	3,026	9,306
OnePlus 15R (SD 8 Gen 5)	2,837	9,352
Vivo X300 Pro (D-9500)	3,452	10,128

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 3DMark score

The 3DMark Wild Life Extreme test shows results that are rather different from those of AnTuTu and Geekbench. Here, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5-powered iQOO 15 reaches a high score of 7,240 and a low score of 3,219. Surprisingly, the Vivo X300 Pro, powered by Dimensity 9500, gets better scores.

Device/Chip	High score	Low score	Stability
iQOO 15 (SD 8 Elite Gen 5)	7,240	3,219	44.5%
OnePlus 13 (SD 8 Elite)	6,628	4,155	62.7%
OnePlus 15R (SD 8 Gen 5)	5,009	3,321	66.3%
Vivo X300 Pro (D-9500)	7,310	4,006	54.8%

The OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 15R, which are powered by older Snapdragon 8-series chipsets, also obtains higher low-score than the iQOO 15. What surprises me the most is that the iQOO 15 has the lowest stability of 44.5% of among all the devices the list.

Note that a chipset alone isn’t entirely responsible for the performance, as other aspects like OEM’s implementation, software optimizations, and cooling mechanism also play important roles. The result would be different on a different device powered by the same Qualcomm/MediaTek chipset.

Vivo’s New Vlogging Camera Could Be a DJI Osmo Pocket Rival

Feb 5, 2026

Vivo, a brand known for its smartphones and high end mobile photography, is reportedly planning to enter the vlogging camera market with a new compact gadget that might be targeting creators and content makers. So here’s everything we know so far.

Vivo Vlogging Camera: New DJI Osmo Pocket Series Rival?

According to a fresh report, the Chinese tech giant is working on a dedicated vlogging camera device that is expected to launch by the end of this year. The new compact vlogging camera that could compete with DJI’s popular Osmo Pocket series of portable gimbal cameras. This would mark a notable expansion for Vivo beyond smartphones and accessories. It also signals its ambition to branch into dedicated imaging hardware that appeals to vloggers who want lightweight, handheld tools that deliver stabilised, high-quality footage without lugging around larger rigs.

Details about Vivo’s vlogging camera remain scarce, and the company has not officially revealed the product name, specs or price. However, insiders say the device is positioned to compete with DJI’s Osmo Pocket lineup, like the upcoming Osmo Pocket 4 and Pocket 3. Both of these are pocket friendly cameras that feature mechanical gimbal stabilization, touchscreen controls and high-resolution video capture.

If Vivo’s compact camera sees the light of day in 2026 as tipped, it could give creators a new vlogging camera option outside of popular brands like DJI, GoPro, and Insta360. Vivo has been collaborating with Zeiss for its lens and tuning on its flagship X series of smartphones, so we might also see an expansion of this partnership. Although, this is just a speculation at this point, so take this news with a pinch of salt.

By

Sean

-

Feb 5, 2026

A new gaming-oriented mini PC has arrived that aims to deliver desktop-class performance in a highly compact system. The tiny new computer combines Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 5070 laptop GPU with a top tier Intel Core Ultra series processor, and generous memory options. So here’s what SimplyNUC’s Jean Canyon NUC 15 Performance has to offer.

Jean Canyon NUC 15 Performance Specs: Beast of a Mini PC

Under the small hood, the mini PC can be configured with an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU, which is coupled with the RTX 5070 laptop GPU that offers 8GB of VRAM. But one of the highlights is the memory capacity, with the option to buy the tiny system with a whopping 96GB of DDR5 RAM. This makes it one of the few mini PCs that is capable of supporting this much RAM.

RTX 5070 Mini PC — SimplyNUC Jean Canyon NUC 15 Mini PC

In other words, you can expect great heavy multitasking, visualizing, and large scale creative workflows, apart from just gaming. Storage is handled via dual M.2 SSD slots with support for PCIe 5.0 and PCIe 4.0 drives, and users can scale up to 8TB total capacity. Despite its small footprint (around 3 liters in volume), the system doesn’t skimp on connectivity. It offers a wide range of ports, including multiple USB-A (USB-3.2 Gen2), Thunderbolt 4/USB4 Type-C, dual HDMI 2.1, dual DisplayPort 2.1, 2.5 Gb Ethernet, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4.

As of right now, the pricing details of the Jean Canyon NUC 15 Performance are still at large. But the brand has confirmed the base storage configuration, which will start from 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. So the higher end options are likely quite expensive, especially considering the current pricing for PC components like RAM. In related news, Minix recently announced the new Neo Z95 mini PC with modest specs.

Feb 5, 2026

Oppo is said to be working on two Find X9s-branded phones. Recent reports have revealed that the Dimensity 9500-powered Find X9s Pro may launch in China by March alongside the Find X9 Ultra and the Find N6 foldable. However, a new report claims that there is another Find X9s variant in development, featuring a different Dimensity chipset specifically aimed at global markets.

Oppo Find X9s specifications (rumored)

According to the report, the global Find X9s may feature a 6.3-inch AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. In terms of cameras, it is expected to include a triple rear setup comprising a 200-megapixel main camera and a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto lens. Interestingly, these specifications appear similar to those rumoured for China’s Find X9s Pro, which is also said to feature the same display and camera configuration.

The key difference between the two models could lie in the chipset. The global Find X9s is said to be powered by the recently launched Dimensity 9500s, which is believed to be slightly less powerful than the standard Dimensity 9500. On the other hand, the Find X9s Pro intended for the Chinese market is expected to feature the regular Dimensity 9500.

Other details about the Find X9s remain under wraps, but early speculation suggests that both models may include batteries around the 7,000mAh mark. The device is also expected to arrive in colour options such as Titanium, Orange, and Blue.

Oppo Find X9s global launch timeframe (rumored)

The report indicates that Oppo could introduce the Find X9s in Southeast Asian markets including Singapore, Malaysia, and Vietnam, with India also expected to receive the device during the second quarter of the year. It remains unclear whether the global versions of the Find X9 Ultra and the Find N6 foldable will be unveiled alongside the Find X9s, but more clarity may emerge closer to launch.

Feb 5, 2026

Honor has confirmed that it will be present at MWC 2026, which will take place between March 2 and 6. The brand is expected to showcase its futuristic Robot phone alongside unveiling the Honor Magic V6 foldable. Ahead of the anticipated launch, the device is already securing multiple certifications. In the latest development, it has received approval from China’s 3C authority, revealing what could be the fastest charging speeds ever seen on a foldable smartphone.

Honor Magic V6 3C certified

An upcoming Honor phone carrying two model number variants, PNM-AN10 and PNM-AN20, has appeared on the 3C certification platform.

Both models reportedly support 120W fast charging, a significant milestone that could set a new benchmark for foldable devices. Reports also suggest that “PNM” may be an internal codename referring to Phenom.

Last month, batteries associated with the Magic V6 were also approved through 3C filings. Its top-end variant is expected to feature a large 7,000mAh rated dual-cell battery with a typical capacity of around 7,150mAh. The other variant may include a 6,700mAh rated battery with a typical capacity of approximately 6,850mAh.

Honor Magic V6 specifications (rumored)

The Honor Magic V6 is rumored to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset and is expected to support wireless charging. The current engineering prototype reportedly includes a 200-megapixel main camera alongside a mid-tier periscope telephoto lens offering 3x optical zoom. Additional expected features include a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, a fibreglass build with dust and water resistance, and a thinner profile compared to its predecessor.

Colour options tipped for the device include Snow White, Velvet Black, Red Hare, and Sunrise Gold. For reference, the previous generation measured around 4.1 to 4.2mm when unfolded, 8.8 to 9mm when folded, and weighed 217 / 222 grams, suggesting that the upcoming model could aim for even slimmer dimensions while improving battery capacity and charging speeds.

Vivo X300 Max vs Xiaomi 17 Max: Two mega flagships gearing up for a camera and battery showdown

By

Feb 5, 2026

Rumours suggest that this year more smartphone brands may adopt “Max” and “Pro Max” branding to differentiate larger, feature-packed flagship models. The Redmi Turbo 5 Max is one such example, while leaks indicate that the Xiaomi 17 Max and Vivo X300 Max are also in development, positioned in a different league with strong photography-focused capabilities. Here’s a comparison between the two based on current leaks to understand how they may compete and where each device could stand out.

Design, display and performance expectations

The Vivo X300 Max is rumoured to feature a 6.78-inch OLED flat display with 1.5K resolution and ultra-thin bezels, offering a balance between sharp visuals and immersive viewing. Under the hood, the device will be equipped with the Dimensity 9500, which also powers the X300 and X300 Pro.

The Xiaomi 17 Max, meanwhile, is tipped to arrive with a slightly larger flat OLED display measuring around 6.8 inches or 6.9 inches, also featuring slim bezels on all sides. Performance is expected to be driven by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, aligning it with other devices in the Xiaomi 17 series. Design-wise, the phone may follow a cleaner rear layout similar to the standard Xiaomi 17 rather than adopting experimental elements seen on higher-end variants. It will not feature a secondary rear display like the Xiaomi 17 Pro series.

The Vivo X300 Max and Xiaomi 17 Max are also expected to closely resemble the existing Vivo X300 and Xiaomi 17 designs, although the “Max” branding suggests larger dimensions compared to their standard counterparts.

Battery capacity and charging capabilities

The Xiaomi 17 Max is rumoured to include a massive 8,000mAh battery supported by 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging, potentially placing it among the longest-lasting premium smartphones. The Vivo X300 Max, on the other hand, is expected to feature a 7,000mAh battery, which remains substantial and should deliver strong daily performance without significantly increasing device thickness.

The Vivo X300 Max will run on Android 16 with a layer of OriginOS 6 on top. On the other hand, the Xiaomi 17 Max will have HyperOS 3-based Android 16, and both devices will have an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor.

Camera hardware and launch timelines

The Vivo X300 Max is said to include a circular camera module housing a 200-megapixel main sensor, an ultrawide camera, and a mid-tier periscope telephoto lens. Xiaomi’s rival device could feature a 200-megapixel Samsung ISOCELL HPE primary camera, a 50-megapixel Sony periscope telephoto lens, and a 50-megapixel ultrawide camera, indicating an emphasis on versatile photography performance.

Launch timelines also differ slightly. The Vivo X300 Max is expected to debut in March in China alongside other X300 series models, while the Xiaomi 17 Max is rumoured to arrive in April. Global availability remains unclear for both devices, but current leaks suggest the Xiaomi 17 Max may prioritise battery capacity and charging speeds, whereas the Vivo X300 Max appears focused on balancing display quality, imaging, and overall flagship performance.

Which one do you think looks better based on the leaks so far, the Vivo X300 Max or the Xiaomi 17 Max? Share your thoughts.

Multiple country variants of the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra have emerged on the Geekbench benchmarking platform. These listings will make many users happy, as they suggest that the S26 Ultra may come with a Snapdragon chip in all markets. On the other hand, the S26 and S26 Plus may ship with either Exynos or Snapdragon, depending on the region.

The SM-S948U is for the US, the SM-S9480 is for China, the SM-S948B is for global markets like Europe and India, and the newly spotted SM-S948N is for South Korea. These listings show that the device is powered by a Qualcomm chip, which will reportedly be marketed as the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy.

Meanwhile, the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 Plus have also surfaced on Geekbench multiple times. While the US editions have been spotted with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, variants for Europe and South Korea have appeared with Samsung’s in-house Exynos 2600 SoC. It is still unclear whether the Chinese market will get Snapdragon or Exynos variants.

Samsung’s apparent return to a dual-chip strategy could indicate that the company is testing the waters with the Exynos 2600, which is the industry’s first 2nm mobile chipsets. After facing criticism in previous years over performance consistency and efficiency differences between Exynos and Snapdragon variants, Samsung opted to use Snapdragon across the entire Galaxy S25 series. Bringing Exynos back selectively may allow the company to evaluate real-world performance improvements while gradually rebuilding user confidence, especially if the new 2nm process delivers meaningful gains in power efficiency and thermal performance.

Based on recent industry reports and Samsung’s usual launch cycle, the Galaxy S26 series is expected to debut on February 25, with sales likely starting by March 11. The same event is also expected to see the arrival of the Galaxy Buds 4 and Buds 4 Pro.

Casio Pro Trek PRG-69 Series Watches Launch With New Angular Case and Triple Sensor

Feb 5, 2026

Casio has officially unveiled the new Pro Trek PRG-69 series, confirming a major design change for its digital outdoor watches. The lineup includes the PRG-69-1, PRG-69-4, and the newly introduced PRG-69B-1. These are the first digital Pro Trek models to move away from a round case, switching to a sharp, angular design inspired by the PRW-6900.

All three models use a solid octagonal case made from flame-retardant, bio-based resin. This material is built for outdoor use and is designed to self-extinguish if exposed to sparks from campfires or cooking flames. The display is protected by a mineral crystal. Case dimensions measure 52.5 × 46.4 × 14.4 mm.

The watches feature Casio’s dual-layer Duplex LCD. The upper layer shows large, color compass graphics, while the lower layer displays the time and sensor data. This layout improves clarity when checking information outdoors. A small dot-matrix sub-display at the top shows the day, date, and barometric pressure trend, keeping the main screen clear.

Each model is equipped with Casio’s Triple Sensor system. This includes a digital compass with 16-point bearing measurement and bidirectional calibration, an altimeter that tracks elevation from minus 700 to 10,000 meters with automatic logging, a barometer with pressure tendency alerts, and a thermometer rated from minus 10°C to 60°C. The compass supports continuous measurement for up to 60 seconds. Power is supplied through Tough Solar charging, using sunlight or indoor light. Multiband 6 radio time calibration is not included.

The differences between the models are mainly visual. The PRG-69-1 comes in an all-black finish. The PRG-69-4 features a black case paired with a bright orange band. Both use soft, bio-based urethane straps. The PRG-69B-1 replaces the urethane strap with a fabric band made from recycled PET fibers and adds gold-accented compass markings on the bezel, giving it a more outdoors-focused look.

Additional features include a high-brightness full-auto LED backlight, known as Super Illuminator, and textured buttons and case surfaces designed for grip, even when wearing gloves.

The PRG-69-1 and PRG-69-4 will launch in Japan later this month, priced at ¥29,700, or about $190. Global availability is expected in March. In Europe, both models are listed for preorder at €200 with a March 20 shipping date. Pricing and availability for the PRG-69B-1 have not been confirmed, but it is expected to fall in the same range.

After weeks of teasers, Vivo has officially announced the launch date for its latest V-series smartphones in India. The Vivo V70 and V70 Elite are scheduled to debut on February 19 at 12 PM local time.

The company claims that both phones will feature some of the narrowest bezels in their price segment, measuring just 1.25 mm. These bezels are extremely slim indeed, even slimmer than those of the flagship Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Vivo V70 and V70 Elite Specifications

The screen itself is said to measure 6.59 inches on both models. They will also share a 1.5K display with a pixel density of 459 ppi, support for up to a 120 Hz refresh rate, peak brightness of 5,000 nits, and 1.07 billion colors.

Under the hood, the V70 Elite will run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, while the standard V70 will use the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4. The former ran a Geekbench benchmark, scoring 1973 points in single-core and 4863 points in the multi-core test.

Likewise, both phones are powered by a 6,500mAh cell that supports 90W wired fast charging. The phones carry IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance.

On the camera side, the V70 series will include a Zeiss-powered 50-megapixel Sony IMX882 primary sensor with optical image stabilization, a 50-megapixel telephoto camera, and an ultrawide lens. The front camera is a 50-megapixel unit.

As for the color options, the V70 comes in Passion Red and Lemon Yellow, while the V70 Elite will be offered in Passion Red, Sand Beige, and Authentic Black.

With the launch less than two weeks away, more details about pricing and availability are expected to be revealed closer to the February 19 event.

Recent reports have revealed that Oppo is working on the next-generation Turbo-series of performance-centric phones for the Chinese market. While earlier reports suggested that Oppo might skip the K14 naming, new information, courtesy of tipster Digital Chat Station, indicates that the lineup could arrive as the Oppo K14 Turbo series. The latest details provide an early look at expected specifications as well as a tentative launch window.

Oppo K14 Turbo series specifications (rumored)

According to DCS, the Oppo K14 Turbo lineup is expected to include two models, namely the Oppo K14 Turbo and the K14 Turbo Pro. The Pro variant is tipped to feature a 6.79-inch OLED display and could be powered by the Dimensity 9500s chipset. This means that it will compete with the Dimensity 9500s-powered Redmi Turbo 5 Max in China.

Engineering prototype units of the Pro variant are said to exist in multiple configurations such as 12GB+256GB, 12GB+512GB, and 16GB+512GB. The device may weigh around 201 grams and could arrive in colour options including white, grey, pink, and a forged carbon finish.

Previous leaks have suggested that the handset might pack a large 8,000mAh battery, reinforcing its positioning as a performance-focused smartphone.

The standard Oppo K14 Turbo, on the other hand, is expected to feature a slightly smaller 6.59-inch OLED display. While the chipset has not been officially confirmed, earlier claims indicate that it could run on the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 SoC.

One of the major highlights of the upcoming series is said to be the inclusion of built-in cooling fans on both models, unlike the previous generation where only the Pro variant featured such hardware. The cooling system is also rumored to include waterproofing support. Both phones are expected to feature a 50-megapixel main camera on the rear.

Oppo K14 Turbo series launch timeframe (rumored)

The latest leak also suggests that the Oppo K14 Turbo lineup could debut in China around April. There’s a possibility that the series may hit the Indian market a month or two after the China launch.

The upcoming OnePlus Nord 6 has been appearing in multiple leaks and certification databases recently, suggesting that the device is moving closer to launch. While earlier expectations pointed towards an early arrival, fresh information now hints that the timeline may have shifted slightly. New reports have also added more clarity about the phone’s hardware and potential positioning within the Nord lineup.

OnePlus Nord 6 launch timeline reportedly shifted

According to tipster Yogesh Brar, the OnePlus Nord 6 may now debut in April instead of the previously rumoured February or March timeframe. Although OnePlus has not officially acknowledged the device yet, several certifications across regions such as Malaysia, the UAE, and Europe indicate that the phone is progressing through regulatory stages ahead of a global rollout.

He also added that there is currently no confirmed information about a Nord CE 6, leaving uncertainty about whether a companion model will arrive alongside the Nord 6. Apart from certifications, the device was recently spotted on Geekbench equipped with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset paired with 12GB RAM and Android 16.

OnePlus Nord 6 specifications (expected)

Leaks suggest that the Nord 6 may be based on the OnePlus Turbo 6 launched in China, potentially making it one of the brand’s most performance-focused Nord models yet. If accurate, the handset could include a massive 9,000mAh battery with support for 80W wired charging and reverse charging capabilities. The display is expected to be a 6.78-inch or larger AMOLED panel offering 1.5K resolution and up to a 165Hz refresh rate.

Camera details point towards a 50-megapixel primary sensor paired with a secondary rear lens, alongside a 16-megapixel front camera for selfies. Additional features may include stereo speakers, an in-display fingerprint scanner, improved haptic feedback through an X-axis motor, and an IP68 or IP69-rated design.

While an April launch sounds like a delay, it is still earlier than the OnePlus Nord 5, which was announced in July last year. To put into context, the previous generation features a 6.83-inch OLED 1.5K 144Hz screen, a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip, a 6,800mAh battery with 80W charging, and a 50-megapixel + 8-megapixel dual-camera setup.

Xiaomi‘s gaming-focused sub-brand Black Shark is preparing to launch a new gaming tablet in the global market. This new tablet, simply called the Black Shark Gaming Tablet, was teased late last year and has now appeared on the brand’s global website with all of its key specifications and features.

Black Shark Gaming Tablet features

The Black Shark Gaming Tablet uses an 8.8-inch compact design. It weighs 332 g and measures 7.7 mm in thickness. The body is made from aerospace-grade aluminum alloy with laser-finished detailing and will be available in black and silver color options.

At the core is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor. The chipset features an octa-core CPU with clock speeds of up to 3.0 GHz and a 40 TOPS NPU. Black Shark claims an AnTuTu benchmark score of over 1.9 million. The tablet runs Android 16 out of the box. Memory is set at 12 GB of LPDDR5X RAM, paired with 256 GB of UFS 4.0 storage.

Major shake-up at Realme? Restructuring reportedly begins as Oppo takes control

By

Feb 5, 2026

Update: Here is the official statement from a Realme spokesperson, “This adjustment is part of realme India’s ongoing organizational optimization and is in line with normal industry benchmarks.

This adjustment is unrelated to any other brands. Our products, retail presence, and service commitments remain fully unaffected. realme remains deeply committed to the Indian market and will continue to uphold our mission of making technology more accessible, serving millions of users, and creating sustained long-term value.”

Original story continues…

It was reported in January that Oppo was restructuring its internal brand hierarchy, positioning Realme and OnePlus as sub-brands under a unified ecosystem. Now, a new report by 91mobiles Hindi claims that this transition is beginning to show real-world impact in India, with layoffs reportedly starting across parts of Realme’s sales network.

Restructuring reported as Oppo integration progresses

According to information sourced through retail channels and employees, Realme has reportedly started layoffs within its Indian sales operations. Area sales managers, ground staff, and retail-focused employees are said to be among those impacted as the company looks to reduce operational costs and streamline internal functions.

Sources from Gujarat first highlighted the issue, after which confirmations reportedly came from Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, and other regions. Some employees claim they have been asked to submit resignations, with timelines suggesting their roles could end by April 30 as part of cost-cutting efforts. The restructuring appears to follow earlier reports that Realme will move back under Oppo’s organizational structure as a sub-brand.

This shift means that several operational functions such as marketing, service networks, and distribution could increasingly align with Oppo’s existing infrastructure. As a result, overlapping roles within Realme may no longer be required, which could explain the reported workforce reductions.

What the new brand structure means for Realme

Last month’s report revealed that Oppo will function as the main brand in China, while Realme and OnePlus operate as supporting sub-brands within a unified ecosystem. Despite organizational changes, Realme’s product launches are expected to continue without disruption. Under the new change, Oppo’s online store is now selling Realme devices apart from the usual Oppo and OnePlus phones.

Realme hasn’t commented yet on the new development, similar to how OnePlus released an official statement when shutdown rumors about it emerged.

Xiaomi HyperOS 4 to adopt self-developed architecture while retaining native Android services

Feb 5, 2026

Xiaomi is moving closer to a more independent software stack with its upcoming HyperOS 4, as new reports suggest the company is gradually removing legacy MIUI-era code and replacing parts of the system with its own architecture.

According to a leak by well-known tipster Digital Chat Station, Xiaomi’s next-generation system could replace parts of the underlying framework with a native, self-developed one.

The company is also expected to integrate its own AI model at the system level. For now, though, native Android services are likely to remain in place to avoid app compatibility issues.

The shift is not surprising. Xiaomi itself confirmed in January its aim to achieve “grand convergence” in 2026 with a self-developed chip, operating system, and large AI models on a single device. As you might know, Xiaomi’s XRING O1 chip, introduced in 2025, is the first step of this transition.

Behind the scenes, Xiaomi is already preparing for that transition. Reports from Xiaomitime claim that some system modules in HyperOS 3.1, including the Weather and Photo Album apps, have begun removing MIUI-era SDK components. HyperOS 4, expected to launch in August, could be the first version described as a “zero legacy” release.

Xiaomi is also experimenting with rewriting core system apps using Google’s Flutter framework and the Rust programming language. The company could be moving toward a more modular system architecture, where components can be updated or replaced more easily.

For now, HyperOS 3.1 is said to act as a transitional release. It introduces a native HyperOS SDK while still keeping the older MIUI SDK in place to maintain stability and compatibility.
