Google may soon expand the color lineup of its Pixel Buds 2a. Android Headlines has published official-looking renders showing the earbuds in two new color options, which are expected to be added alongside the existing Hazel and Iris variants. The Pixel Buds 2a have been available in those two colors since their launch in August last year.
While Google has not confirmed the official names, the new shades are expected to align with the rumored Pixel 9a color palette. These are likely to be called Fog and Berry. Visually, the Fog option appears as a light gray finish, while Berry is a soft pink tone.

A new leak has revealed some key details of upcoming Xiaomi smartphones. This hints at the battery and charging details of the upcoming Xiaomi 17T, which we’ve already covered, along with the new POCO X8 Pro and POCO X8 Pro Max. These models are also expected to pack massive batteries as well, so let’s check it out.
POCO X8 Pro Max with a huge 8,500mAh battery surfaces online
According to recent findings from supply chain and code analysis (via PaperKing13), the POCO X8 Pro Max will be powered by a humongous 8,500mAh battery pack. This is one of the biggest battery capacities on any POCO phone. The large cell is paired with 100W wired fast charging for quick top ups. With such a massive battery, you can easily expect the device to offer two days of battery life on a single full charge.
Redmi Turbo 5 Max
The combination would appeal to heavy users, gamers, and travellers alike. Based on what we know so far, the POCO X8 Pro Max is rumored to be a rebranded Redmi Turbo 5 Max for the global market. To recall, the Turbo 5 Max debuted in China yesterday, with an even larger 9,000mAh cell. Although, this slight downgrade is likely due to regional safety and certification requirements. But this phone is still ahead of the curve compared to most other devices.
On the other hand, the standard POCO X8 Pro gets a smaller, but still respectable, 6500mAh battery that also supports 100W wired fast charging. In related news, the POCO X8 Pro recently showed in multiple certification databases across the globe, with a special POCO X8 Pro Iron Man Edition also in the works.

Xiaomi has a lineup of Xiaomi 17 series smartphones set to launch globally. Among them are the Xiaomi 17T and 17T Pro, both of which appeared on the IMEI database back in October. Now, a new post on X has revealed the camera and battery specifications of the vanilla Xiaomi 17T.
The details were unearthed from HyperOS code changes, where the smartphone is listed under the codename “P12A.”
To begin with, the Xiaomi 17T flaunts a 6,500mAh battery. That’s a sizable jump from the 5,500mAh battery from last year’s Xiaomi 15T; however, charging speed remains the same at 67W.
Moving on, the Xiaomi 17T will feature a triple rear camera setup, led by an OmniVision OV50E sensor. It’s joined by an OmniVision OV13B sensor and a Samsung ISOCELL JN5 sensor, covering ultra-wide and telephoto duties. There’s also mention of a Samsung ISOCELL S5KKDS sensor for selfies.
For comparison, the Xiaomi 15T used a 50MP Light Fusion 800 main camera, a 50MP telephoto lens, and a 12MP ultra-wide camera. It has a 32MP camera for selfies.
Under the hood, the Xiaomi 17T could be powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500s chipset. The processor includes a MediaTek NPU designed for generative and agentic AI features and recently made its debut earlier this month.
Interestingly, the same chip is already being used in the Redmi Turbo 5 Max, which gives some context about the performance level users can expect.
Xiaomi 17T series might launch in February
As for the Xiaomi 17T Pro, a listing spotted on the IMEI database back in October 2025 hints at a possible February 2026 launch. If that timeline holds, it would be a shift away from Xiaomi’s usual September release window for its T-series phones.

Benchmark scores alone don’t tell the complete story. They do not discuss other important aspects, such as the camera and connectivity. So, we’ll uncover the key differences in the following section.
Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 vs 8s Gen 3: Key differences
The Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 and 8s Gen 3 feature the same 1+4+3 core configuration, but their core selection differs. The 7 Gen 4 features one Cortex-A720 large core, four Cortex-A720 mid cores, and three Cortex-A520 small cores. In contrast, the 8s Gen 3 has a more powerful Cortex-X4 large core, four Cortex-A720 mid cores, and three Cortex-A520 small cores.
Not only does the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 feature higher-performance cores, but they also run at higher speeds. That’s the main reason it’s able to beat the 7 Gen 4 in benchmarks by a big margin.
The 8s Gen 3 also features a more powerful Adreno 735 GPU with more pipelines and higher compute throughput than the Adreno 722 GPU on the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4. Additionally, the 8s Gen 3 supports hardware-accelerated ray tracing, which enhances the gaming experience with more accurate lighting, reflections, and shadows.
The Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 also excels in imaging, featuring an 18-bit ISP compared to the 12-bit ISP on the other chip. Furthermore, the 8s Gen 3 supports semantic segmentation (up to 12 layers) and zero shutter lag at higher resolutions. Both chips support up to 4K video recording at 60fps, but when it comes to slow-motion recording, the differences become apparent. The 8s Gen 3 supports 1080p slow-motion recording at 240fps, while the 7 Gen 4 peaks at 120fps.
Both chipsets feature robust connectivity, though some differences remain. The 7 Gen 4 features a newer Bluetooth standard, while the 8s Gen 3 excels in peak download speed over a 5G connection. The peak Wi-Fi speed, however, remains unchanged.
Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 vs 7 Gen 4: Which is a better choice?
The Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 is a no-brainer pick over the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, featuring faster CPU and GPU with support for hardware-accelerated ray tracing. It also features a robust ISP with better slow-motion video recording and semantic segmentation support.
The Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 also features robust connectivity, with a higher peak download speed over 5G. The 7 Gen 4 offers a newer Bluetooth standard, but that alone can’t make up for everything. Hence, the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 remains a solid pick over the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4.
Just a few months after launching the Reno 15 series in China last November, early details about the next-generation Reno 16 lineup are already starting to leak out. Not entirely, as Oppo updates the Reno series roughly every six months.
According to well-known tipster Digital Chat Station, the Oppo Reno 16 series has now entered the testing phase in China. That usually means internal hardware decisions are largely locked in, even if the final product is still weeks away from public view. If Oppo sticks to its usual timeline, the Reno 16 series could arrive sometime around May.
Oppo Reno 16 Specifications (Expected)
The Reno 16 lineup is expected to continue using flat displays across multiple sizes. The Reno 15 series has a compact 6.32-inch and a 6.78-inch model, and Oppo is likely to continue offering the same screen sizes with Reno 16.
The Reno 16 series is also said to feature a 200MP main camera as standard, along with a 50MP periscope telephoto lens. Not an upgrade on megapixel count, as both the Reno 15 and Reno 15 Pro have a similar setup. But Oppo could use a newer camera sensor.
Design-wise, the leak points to a metal frame and LIPO equal bezel layout on all sides. Oppo is also aiming for an ultra-thin and lightweight build to keep the Reno series focused on comfort and everyday usability rather than sheer hardware bulk.
None of this is official yet, and Oppo hasn’t acknowledged the leak. Still, with testing already underway and a mid-year launch window hinted at, the Reno 16 series may not stay a mystery for much longer.

Wearables have spent the last few years bouncing between familiar shapes. Smartwatches keep getting bigger, while smart rings are trying to shrink health tracking down to the bare minimum. Rogbid’s latest device, the Fusion, sits somewhere awkwardly — and intentionally — in the middle.
Rogbid Fusion Specifications
The Rogbid Fusion is a very small smartwatch that borrows ideas from both categories. At just 20.6 x 21 x 8.2mm and weighing a little over 14 grams, it’s closer in size to a chunky ring than a traditional watch.
Out of the box, the Fusion can be worn like a ring using its bundled Milanese-style strap. If that feels too unconventional, Rogbid also includes a nylon strap that lets you wear it on your wrist like a regular watch.
The device itself uses a metal midframe and comes with a 5ATM water resistance rating, which should make it suitable for swimming and daily exposure to water without much worry.
The screen is predictably small. The Fusion uses a 0.49-inch OLED display, which is just enough to show the basics. You can check the time, step count, heart rate, blood oxygen levels, and sleep data directly on the device, though anything more detailed will likely require opening the companion app.
Despite its size, the Fusion is a full fitness wearable. It supports over 100 sports modes, though real-time tracking is limited to essentials like heart rate, steps, and distance.
The Fusion connects to smartphones over Bluetooth and works with both Android and iOS devices. Rogbid claims a battery life of up to five days, which is respectable for its size, though real-world usage will probably depend on how often health-tracking features are enabled.
In terms of design options, the Rogbid Fusion is available in black, silver, and gold. The device retails for $49.99 and is available directly from Rogbid’s official website.

Oppo has started teasing the Oppo Reno 15c in India. This will be the fourth model in the series to hit the Indian market after the Reno 15, Reno 15 Pro, and Reno 15 Pro Mini. Here’s a look at the specifications and price of the 15c.
To recall, the Reno 15c was also announced alongside the above-mentioned models earlier this month in India. So, the specifications and price of the device are already known. While the phone was announced at that time, it is only set to go on sale on February 3 in the country
Oppo Reno 15c specifications and price
Oppo Reno 15c incoming
The Oppo Reno 15c has a 6.57-inch OLED panel that delivers an FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, along with an HBM brightness of 1,400 nits. Under the hood, the device features the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset, paired with LPDDR4x RAM and UFS 3.1 storage.
The Reno 15c comes preloaded with ColorOS 16-based Android 16. It has a 50-megapixel front camera with autofocus support and a 50-megapixel main camera on the back, coupled with an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens and a 2-megapixel macro camera.
The Reno 15c comes with other features, such as an IR blaster, dual speakers, and a side-facing fingerprint sensor. It has a slim profile of 8.14mm and weighs around 195 grams.
The Reno 15c has arrived in India in two options: 8GB+256GB for Rs 34,999 (~380) and 12GB+256GB for Rs 37,999 (~$415). It comes in two shades, Twilight Blue and Afterglow Pink. As mentioned above, it is scheduled to go on sale on Feb. 3.
Readers should note that this phone should not be confused with the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4-powered Reno 15c available in China.

The long-awaited HyperOS 3 update has finally begun rolling out to Poco F6 users in India. It arrived with some delay as it was scheduled to receive the HyperOS 3 update alongside the Poco F6 Pro last month. The Poco F6 Pro received the upgrade as per the schedule, and now the base model has also joined the party as well.
The HyperOS 3 update for Poco F6 carries the firmware version 3.0.2.0.WNPINXM. It’s currently available in India as an initial release, but Xiaomi won’t take long to expand the update to more regions. The update has a massive download size of 6.1GB, so it’s best to use a reliable Wi-Fi connection.
If you’re rocking a Poco F6 in India, you should be able to upgrade to HyperOS 3 via the software update section in the Settings app. Since it’s a hefty update package, you must ensure that the device has sufficient storage before downloading the update, and that it’s charged to at least 50% for a smooth upgrade to HyperOS 3.

Although we are hearing rumors of a fifth member of the Xiaomi 17 series in China, the company has yet to announce any Xiaomi 17 models globally. Still, the picture outside China is starting to come together.
Certifications have already hinted at an international rollout, and now a fresh set of leaks adds more clarity around colors, storage options, pricing, and even battery differences.
According to a leak shared by tipster Sudhanshu Ambhore, Xiaomi is preparing to launch the Xiaomi 17 series globally, starting with the Xiaomi 17 and the higher-end Xiaomi 17 Ultra.
The standard Xiaomi 17 5G is expected to come in two storage variants: 12GB of RAM paired with either 256GB or 512GB of storage. Color options are said to include Black, Blue, and Green. Meanwhile, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra 5G appears to target power users, with 16GB of RAM and storage options of 512GB or 1TB, available in Black, White, and Green.
Xiaomi 17 price leaks for the Eurozone
As for the price, a German retailer listing (spotted by Notebookcheck) reveals the Xiaomi 17 could retail at €1,099 for the 512GB variant. However, considering Ambhore’s leak, 256GB is the base for Xiaomi 17. As a result, we can expect a lower starting price, maybe around €999.
The retailer listing also reveals some hardware compromises for global buyers. While the Xiaomi 17 sold in China is expected to feature a massive 7,000mAh battery, the global version reportedly comes with a smaller 6,330mAh battery. That’s still a notable 20 percent increase over the 5,240mAh battery found in the previous global model, and it will support 100W fast charging.
As for timing, Xiaomi is expected to begin selling the Xiaomi 17 and Xiaomi 17 Ultra globally after MWC 2026 wraps up in March.

OPPO has started rolling out the stable ColorOS 16 update based on Android 16 for the Find X5 Pro, beginning in Indonesia. This marks the start of the global rollout. The update is notable because the Find X5 Pro launched in 2022 with Android 12 and was officially scheduled to receive major updates only up to Android 15. Despite this, OPPO has extended software support to include Android 16.
The update is currently available for eligible users in Indonesia. OPPO confirmed that the rollout will expand to other regions in stages, with more users gaining access over time.
This is an official stable release, not a beta build. Applications for the update opened on January 29. To receive the update, the Find X5 Pro must be running firmware version CPH2305_16.0.3.500(EX01). Devices on older builds will not detect the update.
ColorOS 16 features
ColorOS 16 is built on Android 16 and focuses on faster performance, better system stability, and smoother animations. The update introduces the Luminous Rendering Engine along with an upgraded Trinity Engine. According to OPPO, these changes improve overall system stability by 37 percent and make animations smoother across both mid-range and flagship devices.
The interface also gets noticeable changes. ColorOS 16 introduces the new Flux Home Screen, which supports resizable and adaptive icons that adjust more naturally to different layouts. The Always On Display now runs in full screen and transitions directly into the lock screen, making the unlock experience feel more connected.
AI features are more deeply integrated in this version. ColorOS 16 brings tighter integration with Google Gemini. AI Mind Space works as a central place to collect, organize, and revisit saved notes and information. Creative tools such as AI Portrait Glow and Master Cut aim to simplify photo and video editing without the need for manual adjustments.
Connectivity has also been improved. O Plus Connect offers better integration with both Mac and Windows systems. The updated Touch to Share feature makes it easier to transfer files to iOS devices. For privacy, sensitive AI tasks are handled through OPPO’s Private Computing Cloud.
OPPO recommends backing up important data before installing the update. After updating, the system will run background optimization, which may cause temporary heating, lag, or higher battery drain. Some third-party apps may also face compatibility issues with Android 16 until they are updated.
