Feb 7, 2026

Xiaomi is preparing to launch its next-generation electric scooters in Europe, and a new leak has now confirmed the full lineup, pricing, and release timeline. The company revealed the Electric Scooter 6 series last month by listing several models on its global website, but it did not share prices or launch dates at the time. A fresh report has now filled in those gaps.

Xiaomi Electric Scooter 6 Launch Globally — Xiaomi Electric Scooter 6

The details come from Billbil-kun (via Dealabs). According to the report, Xiaomi will launch five Electric Scooter 6 models in Europe. These include the Electric Scooter 6 Lite, Electric Scooter 6, Electric Scooter 6 Pro, and Electric Scooter 6 Max, all of which were already visible online. Xiaomi is also preparing a new Electric Scooter 6 Ultra, which was not part of the initial website listing.

The Electric Scooter 6 Ultra is positioned as the most powerful and capable model in the range. It shares core upgrades found across the series, including 12-inch tires, but adds a stronger motor, longer riding range, and dual disc brakes. It also supports a higher maximum load capacity of 140 kg, making it suitable for a wider range of riders. Another notable difference is its design, as the Ultra is expected to be sold only in yellow.

The rest of the lineup is already well defined. The Electric Scooter 6 sits between the Lite and the Max. It uses a motor with 400W continuous output and up to 800W peak power, supports a top speed of 25 km/h, and can handle inclines of up to around 18 percent. It introduces 12-inch tubeless tires and front and rear suspension for better ride comfort. Its 360Wh battery delivers up to 45 km of range and supports faster charging than the previous generation.

Xiaomi Electric Scooter 6 Max — Xiaomi Electric Scooter 6 Pro

The Electric Scooter 6 Lite focuses on short city trips. It uses a 300W motor with 500W peak output, reaches 25 km/h, and offers up to 25 km of range from a 216Wh battery. The Pro model moves up with a 400W motor rated at 1,000W peak, off-road style suspension, 12-inch tires, and a 468Wh battery rated for up to 70 km of range. The Max builds on this with up to 1,100W peak power, dual disc brakes, long travel suspension, Apple Find My support, and the same 70 km claimed range.

Pricing shows a slight increase over the previous generation. The Electric Scooter 6 Lite is expected to cost €329.99, the Electric Scooter 6 €399.99, the Pro €549.99, and the Max €649.99. The Ultra sits at the top at €799.99. Four models are expected to launch in Europe on February 10, 2026, while the Ultra is likely to arrive later.

Feb 6, 2026

Driven by strong performance in international premium markets, HONOR has emerged as the fastest-growing major smartphone brand globally in 2025, according to a report by Omdia. This surge sets the stage for its planned unveiling of ambitious new AI and foldable devices this spring.

According to a recent report from the global research firm Omdia, HONOR achieved a notable 11% year-over-year growth in global smartphone shipments for 2025. This growth rate secured the number one position among the world’s top ten smartphone vendors for the year.

Further data from the International Data Corporation (IDC) underscores the strategic nature of this expansion. For the first three quarters of 2025, HONOR led all top-ten brands in overseas shipment growth within crucial premium segments. Specifically, the brand showed remarkable strength in:

Smartphones priced above $300, covering the premium and upper-mid-tier segments.
Tablets in the $300-600 price band, targeting the upper-mid consumer segment.

Honor’s *President of Sales and Services*, Wang Ban, celebrated the growth on Weibo

This dual-segment leadership indicates a successful strategy of combining volume growth with a deliberate move into higher-margin categories outside its home market.

Building on this momentum, HONOR is poised to make significant waves at Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona this March. Industry reports confirm the brand will officially unveil two highly anticipated devices: the HONOR ROBOT PHONE, a pioneering foray into AI-integrated mobile technology, and the next-generation foldable flagship, the HONOR Magic V6.

These launches are positioned as key milestones in HONOR’s “Alpha Plan,” its strategic initiative focused on breakthrough innovation in human-centric AI and revolutionary form factors. The 2025 shipment data provides tangible evidence of the brand’s growing market presence, which it now seeks to amplify with these category-defining products.

HONOR’s trajectory reflects a brand in a powerful transition—leveraging solid shipment growth to fund and introduce cutting-edge technology, aiming to redefine its position in the competitive global landscape.

Feb 6, 2026

Poco is yet to confirm the arrival of the Poco X8 series, and the company has inadvertently listed the X8 Pro and X8 Pro Max on a promotional event page. The page, which has been live at the time of writing this post, has revealed the design of the X8 Pro models through official images, as well as confirmed their variants along with pricing.

Poco X8 Pro, X8 Pro Max configs and price emerge

The promo page reveals that the Poco X8 Pro will be available in variants such as 8GB+256GB, 8GB+512GB, and 12GB+512GB priced at 399.90 euros, 449.90 euros, and 479.90 euros, respectively.

On the other hand, the Poco X8 Pro Max has been listed in two options, such as 12GB+256GB and 12GB+512GB. These variants are priced at 529.90 euros and 579.90 euros, respectively.

The page seems to have the same set of images for both phones. So, there is a possibility that the phones may sport a nearly identical design and come in the same shades, such as black, white, and mint green. Readers are advised to take the pricing information with a pinch of salt, as the final pricing could be different.

The listing has no information about the Poco X8 Pro series’ specifications. However, rumours suggest that they will be rebranded or tweaked versions of the Redmi Turbo 5 and Turbo 5 Max phones, which recently debuted in China. However, the Poco phones are expected to pack smaller batteries compared to their Chinese counterparts.

The Poco X8 Pro may arrive with the Dimensity 8500 chip and a 6,500mAh battery, whereas the Pro Max edition could be equipped with the Dimensity 9500s and an 8,550mAh battery. Both models may support 100W wired charging and 27W reverse charging.

The Poco X8 Pro may feature a 6.59-inch OLED display, whereas the X8 Pro Max may sport a larger 6.83-inch screen. Both are expected to offer a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. For photography, both phones may feature a 20-megapixel front camera, an OIS-enabled 50-megapixel main camera, and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens.

For those wondering about the standard Poco X8, rumors suggest that this device will not launch this year.

Sony confirms WF-1000XM6 launch date, teases new design

By

Feb 6, 2026

Sony has begun teasing its next flagship true wireless earbuds, the WF-1000XM6, finally offering a first official hint after months of leaks and speculation.

Sony refers to the earbuds as the “next generation,” and flashes part of the design for just a moment. Still, it’s the clearest signal so far that the successor to the WF-1000XM5 is close.

Sony has confirmed that the full announcement will take place on February 12, 2026, at 16:00 UTC (9:30 PM IST). The company hasn’t said whether this will be a livestream or a simple press release, but full specifications are expected either way.

It has been almost three years since the WF-1000XM5 launched in July 2023, which is a longer gap than usual for Sony’s 1000X lineup. In that time, competition from Apple, Bose, and Sennheiser has only intensified, raising expectations around what the XM6 needs to deliver.

The design shown in the teaser appears to match recent leaks. The earbuds look more compact than before, moving away from the rounded shape of the XM5. The new form factor appears flatter and more pill-shaped, which could help with comfort and fit. The charging case also seems to have changed. It looks slimmer and more angular.

Leaks have also pointed to a few smaller but practical changes. A matte finish is expected to return, after some users complained about the glossy surface on the XM5. There also appears to be an extra microphone opening, which could be linked to improvements in active noise cancellation or call quality, though Sony hasn’t confirmed anything yet.

Colour options may expand slightly as well. Black and platinum silver have appeared in leaked images, and there are reports of a third colour, possibly Sand Pink.

With the announcement now just days away, Sony hasn’t left much room for surprises. Whether the WF-1000XM6 represents a major step forward or a more cautious update will become clear soon enough.

Honor 600 could shatter battery records in its class with massive capacity upgrade

By

Feb 6, 2026

Honor appears to be preparing the next generation of its number-series smartphones. Last year, the brand introduced the Honor 400 series in June, followed by the Honor 500 range in November. Based on this launch pattern, the Honor 600 series could debut as early as June this year in China, or possibly even earlier. Well ahead of any official announcement, the first details about the device have surfaced through a Weibo post shared by well-known tipster Digital Chat Station.

Honor 600 display, battery size tipped

According to the tipster, Honor is reportedly working on a new smartphone featuring a 6.57-inch display. Alongside the screen size, the leak suggests that the device may pack a significantly larger battery, potentially reaching around 9,000mAh capacity. This phone appears to be the upcoming Honor 600.

The recently unveiled iQOO Z11 Turbo features a 6.59-inch display, carries the largest battery in its class at 7,600mAh. However, the upcoming Honor 600, which is tipped to feature a similarly sized screen, could surpass that benchmark with a significantly larger battery capacity, potentially setting a new standard for endurance in this segment if the leak turns out to be accurate.

The tipster has not revealed additional hardware details such as the chipset, camera specifications, or charging capabilities, and the official name of the device has not been confirmed either. Despite this, the specifications align closely with expectations for the standard Honor 600, which is likely to succeed last year’s Honor 500.

The Honor 500 featured an iPhone Air-like design and included a 6.55-inch OLED display with 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It was powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset and housed an 8,000mAh battery with 80W charging support. The device also offered a 50-megapixel front camera and a dual rear camera system comprising a 200-megapixel main sensor with OIS and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide lens.

It remains unclear whether the Honor 600 will retain the same design language or chipset as its predecessor. There is no official confirmation regarding a global launch yet, but the Honor 600 Lite has quietly appeared in multiple certification listings, suggesting that international variants may be in development. If the Lite model is indeed heading to global markets, the standard Honor 600 and possibly a Pro version could follow, although their specifications may differ from the Chinese editions.

Oppo Find N6’s arrival officially teased, March launch expected followed by Find X9 Ultra, X9s series

Feb 6, 2026

Several reports have claimed that Oppo is working on a couple of new phones, such as the Find N6 foldable, the Find X9 Ultra, and the Find X9s series for the Chinese market. In the latest development, Zhou Yibao, who leads Oppo’s Find-series products, has revealed when these devices will hit the Chinese market.

Oppo Find N6 to focus on crease optimization

According to Yibao’s latest Weibo post, a new foldable phone is slated for launch after the Chinese New Year period. Although the executive did not explicitly name the device, ongoing rumors strongly indicate that the teaser refers to the Oppo Find N6.

In his post, Zhou compared foldable phones to two beds placed together, suggesting that while they may look comfortable, the central gap or crease remains a key concern for users. He acknowledged that crease visibility continues to be one of the biggest barriers for buyers and emphasized that Oppo is investing heavily in improving crease management and overall durability.

Recent reports further support the Find N6 speculation. Two Oppo devices carrying model numbers PLP110 and PLP120 have received China’s 3C certification, with industry sources suggesting these could represent the standard model and a satellite communication variant. The devices are tipped to support 80W fast charging and may debut as one of the first large-format foldables powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. Early launch expectations point toward a possible unveiling around March in China.

Beyond China, the foldable has also appeared in regulatory databases in multiple regions, indicating a broader rollout plan. Listings in Singapore’s IMDA database reveal support for LTE, 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, and eSIM connectivity, suggesting that a global version is under development.

Meanwhile, other flagship models such as the Oppo Find X9 Ultra and Find X9s series have only recently surfaced in SRRC certification, with their 3C and TENAA approvals still pending, which implies that the Find N6 will launch first and the X9 models will follow soon after. Likely, all of these devices may debut in March in China.

Feb 6, 2026

iQOO has been gradually confirming key details about the iQOO 15R before its official launch on Feb. 24 in India. In the latest development, the brand has confirmed the primary camera of the device. The update reveals that the phone will not just be good at performance but also at capturing photos.

iQOO 15R main camera revealed

The iQOO 15R is confirmed to feature a Sony LYT-700 50-megapixel main camera. This camera will surprise those who were expecting a 200-megapixel Samsung HP5 sensor, as the device is believed to be a rebranded version of the iQOO Z11 Turbo, which features the said 200-megapixel Samsung primary camera.

Apart from this major difference, the rest of the specs appear to be identical on both phones. As far as the camera is concerned, the Sony LYT-700 is quite a capable sensor, utilizing Sony’s latest stacked pixel technology to capture more light and deliver better dynamic range in low-light conditions.

iQOO 15R specifications, price

Recent reports have revealed that the iQOO 15R will be a performance powerhouse, driven by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset. It is expected to feature a 6.59-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate for ultra-smooth gaming.

One of its standout features is a massive 7,600mAh battery with 100W fast charging support, yet it maintains a slim profile of just 7.9mm. It will be treated with four Android OS upgrades and six years of security updates.

The device is also tipped to carry IP68 and IP69 ratings for top-tier water and dust resistance. As for the pricing, rumors suggest the iQOO 15R will be priced under Rs 50,000 in India, potentially starting around Rs 47,999 to compete directly with the upcoming OnePlus 15R. With these specs, iQOO is clearly aiming to offer a flagship-grade experience at a more accessible price point.

Feb 6, 2026

The iPhone battery may finally cross the 5,000mAh mark, signalling a notable shift in Apple’s long-standing approach to battery sizing. Fresh supply chain chatter, amplified by well-known tipster Digital Chat Station, hints at meaningful changes coming to the iPhone 18 Pro Max. Here’s a look at what the new leak has revealed.

Major battery upgrade tipped for iPhone 18 Pro Max

Apple iPhoen 18 Pro Max’s battery size tipped by DCS

According to DCS, supply chain sources indicate that the Chinese version of the iPhone 18 Pro Max could feature a battery rated at around 5000mAh±, while the international variant may see maximum sample capacities in the range of 5100–5200mAh±. If accurate, this would represent a further increase over the iPhone 17 Pro Max, whose eSIM variant already crossed the 5,000mAh mark with a 5,088mAh battery, suggesting Apple may continue gradually scaling capacity year-on-year.

Interestingly, the shift comes at a time when some Android manufacturers are reportedly exploring batteries approaching or even surpassing 10,000mAh capacities, especially in devices focused on endurance and gaming. Honor recently unveiled the Honor Win and Win RT performance-focused flagship phones packed with a 10,000mAh battery, whereas the Realme P4 Power mid-range performance phones offer 10,001mAh battery.

Apple’s strategy, however, has historically relied on tight hardware-software integration and power-efficient silicon rather than simply increasing battery size. This is where the rumored 2nm A20 Pro chip could play a critical role. A more advanced manufacturing process typically improves power efficiency, meaning the real-world gains may come from a combination of higher capacity and smarter energy management.

A report from November 2025 suggested that the rumoured iPhone 18 Pro Max could weigh over 240 grams, potentially making it Apple’s heaviest and thickest flagship yet. With the latest battery leak, the reason behind this design shift may now be clearer.

If the leaks hold true, users could see longer screen-on times, improved sustained performance for photography and video recording, and potentially better standby longevity. For heavy users, this might address long-standing complaints about battery drain during demanding tasks. Still, as with any early supply chain information, final specifications may change before launch.

Smartwatches fake blood sugar readings as 58% of inspected device models fail German checks

Feb 6, 2026

Smartwatches that claim to measure blood sugar without needles are once again under scrutiny, this time from Germany’s Federal Network Agency. In its latest market surveillance report, the regulator confirmed that several devices sold in 2025 advertised blood glucose tracking despite having no technical ability to measure it, which is a practice officials say poses real risks to consumers.

According to the agency, inspections carried out over the year uncovered problems across roughly 7.7 million electronic products. Many of the violations were procedural, such as missing CE markings or incomplete German-language documentation. Others, however, went far beyond paperwork. Among the most concerning findings were smartwatches that simulate blood sugar readings using unrelated sensors or estimated values, while presenting the results as genuine health data.

Why blood sugar tracking on smartwatches is misleading

Industry experts have been clear for years: accurate blood glucose monitoring requires either invasive testing or an external continuous glucose monitor (CGM). No standalone smartwatch can currently deliver reliable readings on its own. Despite this, low-cost models sold mainly through online marketplaces continue to market the feature aggressively, often targeting people with diabetes.

In at least some cases, the consequences could be serious. A previously published review of the Kospet iHeal 6 showed that its so-called glucose readings varied sharply from real measurements, sometimes enough to influence medication decisions. Regulators warn that relying on such data could lead users to delay insulin, overcorrect their dosage, or ignore warning signs altogether.

The scope of the issue remains significant. The agency flagged 1,266 online listings suspected of non-compliance. While this figure represents an 11.2% decline compared to the previous year, the products involved still accounted for an estimated five million units sold. Smartwatches were the most common offenders, not only for false health claims but also for violations of Germany’s Radio Equipment Act.

Offline inspections revealed similar problems. Of 2,400 device models checked at retail, 58% failed to meet regulatory standards, affecting around 1.9 million units. Most issues were administrative, though some products were found to emit excessive electromagnetic interference.

Customs authorities also stepped up enforcement, blocking 359,000 non-compliant devices at the border after examining more than 8,200 shipments.

For regulators, the message is straightforward: health claims must be backed by real technology. For consumers, Germany’s warning is a reminder that if a smartwatch promises needle-free blood sugar tracking, skepticism is not just reasonable, it’s necessary.

Feb 6, 2026

Samsung’s next flagship mobile chip is already making noise in graphics benchmarks. After recently appearing on a Vulkan GPU test, the Exynos 2600 has now topped the Basemark ray tracing leaderboard, beating Qualcomm’s best Snapdragon offering by a noticeable margin.

According to the latest Basemark Ray Tracing results, the Exynos 2600 outperformed the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip by roughly 10 to 15 percent. The chip claimed first place, thanks largely to Samsung’s new Xclipse 960 GPU.

Exynos 2600 vs Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 in ray tracing benchmark

The benchmark data shows a device labeled SM-S942B — believed to be the standard Samsung Galaxy S26 powered by the Exynos 2600 — scoring 8,262 points. In comparison, the BKQ-N49, likely the international version of the Honor Magic8 running the 8 Elite Gen 5, scored 7,527 points. That gives Samsung’s chip a 9.76 percent lead in this specific ray tracing test.

Much of this performance gain appears to come from the Exynos 2600’s underlying design. It is the first smartphone processor to use Samsung’s 2nm Gate-All-Around (GAA) manufacturing process. The approach uses a four-sided gate transistor structure, which improves electrostatic control and allows the chip to operate at lower voltages, potentially boosting both performance and efficiency.

The GPU is another major factor. The Xclipse 960 is the first mobile GPU to use a customized version of AMD’s RDNA 4 architecture, enabling a generational leap in ray-tracing capabilities on smartphones.

Samsung has also focused on thermal management. The Exynos 2600 uses fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP) to shrink the overall package size and includes a new thermal path block (HPB). This copper heatsink makes direct contact with the application processor, reducing thermal resistance by around 16 percent.

While benchmarks don’t tell the whole story, these early results prove Exynos 2600 as a serious competitor in high-end mobile graphics. This could be a comeback moment for Exynos in flagship phones.

Honor’s Win and Win RT, featuring Snapdragon 8-series chipsets and a 10,000mAh battery, have received good reception in the Chinese market. Now, the brand is working on the Honor X80 with a similar battery size at a more affordable price. A reliable tipster has shared key details about what to expect from the next X-series phone.

Honor X80 key specifications tipped

According to the tipster, the Honor X80 will have a massive 6.81-inch OLED LTPS panel with a flat design and rounded corners. It will offer a 1.5K resolution and possibly a 120Hz refresh rate.

The device is reportedly being tested with a new-generation Snapdragon 6-series chipset, possibly the SM6850 platform. It remains to be seen whether the chip will be called the Snapdragon 6 Gen 5 or something else. This leak contradicts a previous claim by the same source, wherein he mentioned that the phone will be powered by a Snapdragon 7-series chipset.

As mentioned above, the X80 will pack a massive 10,000mAh battery, but there is no information about its charging capabilities. This battery has already been approved by China’s 3C authority.

In comparison, the Honor X70, which debuted last year in July, came with a 6.79-inch OLED 1.5K 120Hz screen, a Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chip, and an 8,300mAh battery with 80W wired charging. Its 512GB version also offered wireless charging support. At present, there is no information about the X80’s launch timeframe.

The new leak further claims that Honor plans to standardize 10,000 mAh-class batteries across the X, Power, and WIN line-ups, targeting longer endurance as a key selling point. Additionally, the next-generation Magic series may receive a significant upgrade later this year, potentially featuring a larger 6.85-inch display and more substantial hardware enhancements.
