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.

The system samples environmental noise and ear-fit conditions 32,000 times per second to adapt in real time, while offering 20 ANC levels, intelligent scene detection, personalized noise-cancellation profiles, and single-ear operation.

The earbuds support spatial audio with dynamic head tracking using a six-axis gyroscope. Xiaomi has integrated its own spatial audio rendering engine alongside Dolby Audio support. However, Dolby’s spatial audio mode does not support head tracking.

The Buds 8 Pro offer up to 8.5 hours of playback on a single charge. With the charging case, total battery life reaches up to 35 hours. Fast charging provides 2 hours of playback with a 5-minute charge. The earbuds do not support wireless charging.

Xiaomi has added swipe gestures on the earbud stems for precise volume control with haptic feedback, while a redesigned light bar on the charging case shows battery status and charging progress through animated lighting.

Talking about smart features, the earbuds support Xiaomi HyperOS Connect, Smart Find, audio handoff between devices, dual-device connection, and notification voice broadcast, along with hearing health monitoring and in-ear karaoke functions, with some features requiring a Xiaomi phone or tablet running HyperOS 3 or later.

The Redmi Buds 8 Pro come in Mist Blue, Black, and White colors with a matte, skin-friendly finish.

In related news, Redmi has recently launched the Turbo 5 as the first smartphone powered by the Dimensity 8500 globally, alongside the Turbo 5 Max with a massive 9,000mAh battery and the Dimensity 9500s chipset.

Xiaomi has officially unveiled the Redmi Turbo 5 Max as a value focused flagship model from its new Turbo 5 lineup. The Redmi Turbo Max features an absolutely gigantic battery capacity, a powerful new chip, and a sleek new design. So here are all the details.

Redmi Turbo 5 Max: Design & Display

The device sports a 6.83-inch 1.5K OLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and a bright panel that can reach up to 3,500 nits for excellent outdoor visibility. The display also supports 3840Hz high-frequency PWM dimming and DC dimming to reduce flicker and eye strain, plus Dolby Vision for richer HDR content.

In terms of build, this model features a CNC metallic frame on the sides and a fiberglass back panel. The rear has a distinct double ring turbine light strip. The Redmi Turbo 5 Max was just announced in multiple color options, including Shadow Black, Ocean Blue, Cloud White, and the iPhone 17 Pro-inspired Sunshine Orange. You also get an IP66/68/69/69K rating for water and dust resistance.

Performance

Under the hood, the Redmi Turbo 5 Max is one of the first smartphones to be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9500s chipset. This is basically cutdown version of the flagship Dimensity 9500, with performance matching the older Dimensity 9400. It is coupled with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB of UFS 5.1 storage. With these specs, the budget flagship can easily handle demanding games and multitasking without breaking a sweat.

Out of the box, the Turbo 5 Max runs on the Android 16 OS based HyperOS 3 custom skin. Other notable features include WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner, stereo speakers, an infrared sensor, and dual nano SIM.

Battery & Charging

The headlining feature of the Redmi Turbo 5 Max is undoubtedly its gigantic 9,000mAh battery pack. This is one of the largest batteries ever seen in any Redmi phone. You also get 100W wired fast charging support along with 27W wired reverse charging. With such a large capacity, this phone can basically double as a power bank to charge your other gadgets. Xiaomi is claiming up to 11 hours and 10 minutes of battery life, which is likely indicating the screen n time.

Camera System

For photography, this affordable flagship packs a 50MP Light Fusion 600 main shooter, which has a 1/1.95-inch sensor size. It is paired with an 8MP ultra wide angle lens. The primary sensor includes features like optical image stabilization (OIS) and electronic image stabilization (EIS). Both cameras offer 4K60fps video recording as well.

Pricing & Availability

The Redmi Turbo 5 Max is already on sale in China with several configuration options, so here are the pricing details:

12GB + 256GB – 2499 Yuan (roughly 359 US Dollars)
16GB + 256GB – 2799 Yuan (roughly 402 US Dollars)
12GB + 512GB – 2799 Yuan
16GB + 512GB – 3099 Yuan (roughly 445 US Dollars)

Xiaomi has yet to confirm the international availability of this device, but the Turbo lineup could debut in overseas markets like India under the POCO branding.

Xiaomi held an event today to announce new Redmi products. The highlight is the new Redmi Turbo 5 Max; however, the company also announced a more affordable (yet powerful) Redmi Turbo 5. We will talk about the latter in this article.

Redmi Turbo 5 Specifications

The Turbo 5 is the first to debut MediaTek’s new Dimensity 8500 chip. Built on a 4nm process, the chip is paired with LPDDR5 memory and UFS 4.1 storage. To keep thermals under control, the phone uses the same 3D ice-sealed circulating cold pump cooling system found in Xiaomi’s flagship phones.

The phone also has a new “Rampage Engine” to better tune CPU, GPU, and even DDR frequencies for more stable performance during heavy use.

Redmi has packed in a 7,560mAh battery to keep things running, which supports 100W wired and 27W wireless charging.

On the front, you get a 6.59-inch AMOLED display equally as good as premium flagships. Xiaomi says the phone uses its Super Sunlight Screen, built with M10 luminescent material and capable of reaching a peak brightness of 3,500 nits. It also supports Xiaomi’s eye protection features that reduce eye strain during long viewing sessions.

Design-wise, the Redmi Turbo 5 has a more refined look than earlier Turbo models. It has a metal frame, glass back with a clean vertical camera module, narrow bezels, and large, rounded corners. The phone comes in Shadow Black, Light Sea Green, and Auspicious Cloud White.

Ingress protection includes IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K water and dust resistance. The Turbo 5 also features kilometer-level wireless connectivity, improved Apple device compatibility, and support for file transfer and notification sharing across platforms.

The Turbo 5 is not really a camera phone, thus it only features a 50MP main and an 8MP ultrawide on the back, and a 20MP lens for selfies.

Redmi Turbo 5 Price and Availability

Pricing for the Turbo 5 starts at 1,999 yuan (~ $287) for the base 12/256GB model, and goes up to 2,599 yuan (~ $375). Sales begin immediately in the mainland.

Tesla is Shifting From EVs to Humanoid Robots: Why Elon Musk Is Discontinuing Model S & X? new

Jan 29, 2026

Tesla will officially stop producing the Model S and Model X by the end of Q2 2026. CEO Elon Musk confirmed the decision during the company’s Q4 2025 earnings call, saying it was time to bring both programs to an end. Launched in 2012 and 2015, these vehicles were Tesla’s first premium models and played a major role in proving that electric cars could be desirable, fast, and luxurious.

Falling Demand and Aging Platforms

Sales of the Model S and X have been declining for years. By 2025, estimated deliveries dropped to around 30,000 units globally, far below Fremont’s 100,000-unit capacity. The models also faced strong competition from newer rivals like the Lucid Air and Rivian R1S. A minor refresh in 2025, paired with a price increase, failed to revive interest, making the discontinuation feel inevitable.

Fremont Factory Gets a New Role

Tesla’s Fremont factory will no longer focus on these low-volume premium cars. Instead, the production lines will be converted for advanced manufacturing projects, most notably Tesla’s humanoid robot, Optimus. This marks a clear shift in strategy away from legacy models toward future technologies.

Optimus and Tesla’s Bigger Bet

Optimus has been in development for years and is now a top priority. Tesla plans to begin production before the end of 2026, with possible public sales in 2027. Musk believes Optimus could become Tesla’s most important product, supported by major investments in AI and xAI.

The Future of Tesla

This move shows that Elon Musk believes Tesla has already achieved its original EV goal. Electric cars are now widely accepted, and they no longer need to be strongly pushed or explained to the public. Premium models like the Model S and X no longer offer enough growth to justify Tesla’s time and money.

Musk clearly sees a bigger opportunity elsewhere. By shifting focus to Optimus, AI, and autonomy, Tesla is moving away from being just a car company. The future Tesla looks more like an AI and robotics company, using cars maybe to fund a much larger vision where intelligent machines play a central role in everyday work and life.

Each earbud weighs 5.3g and uses a memory titanium alloy C-bridge that hugs the ear for a secure and comfortable fit. Realme claims over 10,000 expansion and 3,000 torsion resistance cycles for the frame. The earbuds come in Titanium Black and Titanium Gold, with a matte finish that resists sweat and oil.
