Dec 30, 2025

OnePlus has begun rolling out OxygenOS 16.0.2.400 for the OnePlus 12 in India. This is the second update for the device since OxygenOS 16 launched last month. The new build brings the latest security patch and further refines the features introduced with the previous update.

The Camera app gets a new “Neon” filter that recreates the CineStill 800T film look for better night portraits. XPAN mode now has a redesigned UI that looks like a full panorama camera. You can switch between new and old skins, and the mode includes new sounds and haptic feedback when you tap the shutter or change film effects. XPAN watermarks are now supported.

You can launch storage cleanup tools directly from Smart Sidebar. The Photos app adds filters for Motion Photos, screenshots and screen recordings, and edited content. Thumbnail loading is faster thanks to improved parsing.

Home screen changes include the ability to stack 2×1 widgets for better space use. After resizing app icons and adding shortcut icons, you can drag and drop them to rearrange. App clone icons can also be resized and get shortcuts added.

Circle to Search works better now. In gesture navigation, you can activate it by touching and holding where the gesture bar usually sits, even if the bar is hidden.

Private Safe lets you edit images and videos without unlocking them first. Phone Manager now prompts you to allow automatic blocklist updates over Wi-Fi and mobile data, which improves threat detection. The update includes the December 2025 Android security patch.

The rollout starts with a small group of users and expands over the next few days. Indian users can report bugs through the OnePlus Community App under Bug Report or by dialing *#800#.

Dec 29, 2025

Xiaomi announced that its Mijia air purifiers have ranked first in China’s online air purifier market for ten consecutive years. According to data from Beijing All View Cloud Data Technology Co., Ltd. (AVC), the sales ranking is based on monitored online platforms from 2016 to 2025. Xiaomi has shipped over 25 million air purifiers since launching the first model in December 2014.

Over the past decade, Xiaomi has expanded the Mijia air purifier series across various price segments and use cases. The lineup now includes models optimized for pet homes, new renovations, and sensitive users. All models are part of the larger Xiaomi smart ecosystem, with app support, smart automation, and a minimalist design language consistent across its smart home range.

Alongside this milestone, Xiaomi introduced the Mijia Air Purifier 6 Pro, the latest digital flagship in the series. It adopts a dual-filter module design with separate pathways for daily purification and formaldehyde removal. The 13-layer filtration stack includes a pre-filter, nano-grade particulate filter, antibacterial coatings, a formaldehyde decomposition layer, and activated carbon for odor and VOC absorption.

Sharge debuts Loomos AI glasses platform with photography-focused L1 and display-driven S1

By

Dec 29, 2025

Sharge, a brand better known for power banks, today introduced a new base platform for AI glasses. Alongside it, the company also unveiled the first two products built on this platform, the Sharge Loomos AI Photography Glasses L1 and the Sharge Loomos AI Display Glasses S1.

The company says its Loomos platform focuses on fixing long-standing problems in the AI glasses category. These include discomfort during long use, limited personalization, awkward designs, privacy concerns, and battery life that doesn’t really match the daily routines of users.

So instead of adding features for the sake of it, Sharge is trying to narrow in on what smart glasses are actually useful for and then design hardware around those use cases.

Sharge Loomos L1

The first product based on this philosophy is Loomos L1. It’s built on what Sharge calls “Phoenix Architecture 1.0,” which moves the camera module out of the front frame and into the temple. This shifts the center of gravity toward the ear and makes the glasses feel lighter on the face.

On the imaging side, the L1 uses a Sony IMX681 sensor paired with a 111-degree ultra-wide lens and an f/2.2 aperture. It supports 12-megapixel photos and relies on AI image processing and electronic image stabilization to keep shots usable for casual recording, work documentation, or quick snapshots.

For the audio, the company has worked with Goertek to design customized speakers that reduce distortion and improve low-frequency output. It also cuts down sound leakage by 10dB.

The Loomos L1 comes in ten frame styles, multiple sizes, and several materials and color options. There’s also a physical lens cover for privacy and a portable battery-swapping case that allows quick battery replacement. For prescription users, Sharge has built a fitting system that uses AI matching and 3D-printed try-on processes to tailor the glasses more precisely.

Software-wise, the L1 runs Loom OS 2.0, which introduces an AI “active memory” system. The glasses can automatically record and organize moments into a personal memory bank.

Sharge is also working with memories.ai to develop an AI memory engine that can search, summarize, and generate short videos from captured content.

Sharge Loomos S1

The second glasses-based on the Loomos platform is the Loomos S1. Built on “Phoenix Architecture 2.0,” it uses a titanium alloy frame and lightweight composite materials to cut weight in half compared to traditional display glasses.

The S1 also features a flexible front frame with adjustable curvature and a new “Dragonfly Optical Engine” developed with Appotronics that supports asynchronous displays and true 3D effects for each eye.

Audio on the S1 comes from a silicon-based chip-level speaker that fits into a very small space while maintaining voice privacy.

Unlike the L1, the S1 focuses more on proactive AI assistance. It has built-in sensors to continuously monitor the environment and deliver timely reminders and information. Sharge likes to call it a “glance-based” assistant that gives quick updates without pulling out the phone.

Dec 29, 2025

Sharge has expanded its power bank lineup following the recent unveiling of its 300W model, introducing a new 165W power bank called the Super Energy Bar. The device features a built-in retractable USB-C cable and a smart display, and it is now listed on JD.com with a retail price of 349 yuan ($50).

Sharge 165W Power Bank Specifications

The power bank features a 20,000mAh battery capacity designed for long trips, daily commuting, and high-power device usage. It uses four 21700 cylindrical cells in a 14.8V series configuration, offering a typical battery energy of 74Wh. The capacity is compliant with civil aviation safety limits, making it suitable for air and train travel. The cells are sourced from Dongci and are rated as automotive grade, with a focus on long-term reliability and safety during fast charging.

Sharge includes a built-in retractable USB-C cable that extends up to 70cm. The design eliminates the need to carry separate charging cables. The retractable mechanism allows the cable to pull out for use and retract back into the power bank body when not in use. This makes the device convenient for handheld charging, backpack use, or desktop placement.

The power bank supports a maximum power output of 165W through a multi-port layout. It features one USB-C port, one USB-A port, and a built-in USB-C cable. Both the USB-C port and the cable support up to 100W output and 65W input, while the USB-A port delivers up to 30W. The system enables simultaneous charging for phones, tablets, laptops, and accessories without performance drops.

The power bank includes a front-facing digital display that shows real-time information such as battery percentage, charging power, temperature, estimated remaining time, and battery cycle count. There’s also a dedicated button that lets users adjust screen brightness and switch between display modes.

The device comes with multiple safety protections, including overcurrent protection, temperature sensors, and intelligent power management. It has received national 3C certification. The power bank weighs around 515 grams and measures 156.5×52.8×40.8 millimeters. The outer shell features a gradient anodized finish that shifts from black to silver based on lighting.

In related news, Xiaomi has recently launched a new budget power bank in the UK that can charge laptops, while Dreame has introduced its first magnetic power bank with Qi2 support.

Dec 29, 2025

Xiaomi has launched the Mijia Air Purifier 6 Pro in China, introducing a major structural upgrade with a dual-module, dual-filter architecture. The purifier is priced at 2,399 yuan ($341) and is now available for pre-order.

Xiaomi Mijia Air Purifier 6 Pro Specifications

The purifier is equipped with a dual-core purification architecture, where two separate filter modules handle different types of air contaminants. The upper module focuses on multi-effect daily purification, while the lower module is optimized for removing formaldehyde, a common pollutant in recently renovated homes.

The air purification system uses a 13-layer filtration stack that includes a pre-filter for dust and hair, antibacterial and antiviral coatings, a nano-grade particulate filter, and a formaldehyde decomposition layer based on amino-reaction technology. The system also includes enhanced activated carbon filters to absorb volatile organic compounds and odors, reducing the risk of secondary pollution.

For airflow, the system relies on a single motor that drives dual fan blades. The internal design uses a tilted volute duct to improve efficiency and reduce turbulence. The purifier delivers a particulate CADR of up to 1461 m³/h and a formaldehyde CADR of up to 1000 m³/h. Xiaomi claims that laboratory testing reveals the device can complete a full air exchange in a standard room in approximately 1.5 minutes. The supported coverage area ranges from 87 to 150 square meters.

The purifier features six sensors that monitor PM1, PM2.5, dust particles, formaldehyde levels, temperature, and humidity in real-time. These readings are displayed on a front-facing LCD panel. Noise output in sleep mode drops as low as 32 dB(A), and the display light can be disabled at night for added comfort.

For smart features, the purifier supports Xiaomi HyperOS connectivity and integrates with the Mi Home app, allowing remote control, scheduling, and real-time air quality monitoring. It also supports voice control through the Xiao Ai assistant.

Design-wise, the purifier features a minimalist white vertical body with magnetic filter access and caster wheels for easier movement. The filter is rated to last 8 to 14 months, depending on usage.

In related news, Xiaomi has recently launched a flagship electric shaver with dual-ring stainless steel blades and up to 95 days of battery life, alongside its most expensive ceiling light to date, which delivers 10,000 lumens of brightness, eye protection features, and HyperOS support.

LG G6 and W6 OLED TVs leak with brighter “Hyper Radiant” panel

By

Dec 29, 2025

Details of LG’s next-generation OLED TVs appear to have leaked just days ahead of their expected unveiling. The information points to two new flagship models for 2026: the LG OLED G6 and LG OLED W6, both said to introduce a major panel upgrade focused on brightness and image quality.

According to a German publication, the two TVs will debut a new tandem OLED panel marketed as “Hyper Radiant”, paired with what LG reportedly calls Brightness Booster Ultra. The company is said to be targeting a significant brightness jump, with figures suggesting up to 3.9 times higher brightness than LG’s entry-level B-series OLEDs. That would also place the new panel well ahead of the current G5, which already improved peak brightness over earlier generations.

The OLED G6 continues LG’s familiar Gallery Series design, built to sit flush against a wall. Size options reportedly range from 48 inches all the way up to a massive 97-inch model. LG is also said to be using an improved anti-reflective coating, which should help preserve deep blacks and contrast in brightly lit rooms. Powering the TV is the new α11 AI processor, claimed to deliver notably stronger AI performance for upscaling and picture optimization.

Gaming support remains a major focus. The G6 is expected to offer a 165Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision HDR for games, HDMI auto low-latency mode, and support for AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and Nvidia G-Sync. Wireless features like AirPlay 2 and Google Cast are also said to be included.

The OLED W6 appears to share most of the G6’s core hardware but adds LG’s Zero Connect Box. This external hub handles HDMI and USB connections and transmits signals wirelessly to the display, leaving only a thin power cable attached. The W6 is expected to launch in 77-inch and 83-inch sizes.

Dec 29, 2025

Oppo’s next flagship phone is still some distance away. The Find X9 Ultra is the company’s best camera phone that will go against the likes of Xiaomi 17 Ultra and Galaxy S26 Ultra.

However, it is not the only flagship the company is preparing. The Find X9s and Find X9s+ might also join the line soon. A fresh leak by tipster Digital Chat Station has now revealed the key specs of the vanilla X9s.

Oppo Find X9s Specifications

The leak suggests that the Find X9s will feature a 6.3-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution. The panel is said to use LTPS technology and will reportedly include a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor under the screen.

The Find X9s is also tipped to come with two 200-megapixel cameras using Samsung’s HP5 sensor. This would include a main camera and a 3x periscope telephoto lens, alongside an ultra-wide camera.

The smartphone will run on a 7,000mAh battery, which will support both wired and wireless charging. On the software side, the phone is likely to ship with Android 16 and ColorOS 16 out of the box. The device is also said to offer strong water and dust resistance, possibly with an IP68 or IP69 rating.

Of course, Oppo still hasn’t confirmed any of these details yet. As always, these details should be taken cautiously until Oppo makes things official.

Oppo is expected to introduce the Find X9 Ultra around March 2026, and if past launches are any indication, the Find X9s and Find X9s+ may arrive at the same time. While the Plus model is rumored to be a refreshed version of the Find X8s, the Find X9s is said to be a smaller but still high-end option, much like its predecessor.

Xiaomi 17 Ultra Leica Edition cameras compared to Vivo X300 Pro

By

Debasish

-

Dec 29, 2025

Just hours after going on sale in China, Xiaomi’s new 17 Ultra Leica Edition has already surfaced in what appears to be the first global hands-on video. Reviewer “ben’s gadget reviews” managed to get hold of the device almost immediately, offering an early look at Xiaomi’s latest camera-centric flagship and a quick comparison with the Vivo X300 Pro.

In a nearly 15-minute upload, he unboxes the Leica Edition model and walks through initial setup on the China-only variant. The video also hints at how the phone could be positioned internationally, with Ben suggesting it may eventually arrive globally under a Leica-branded “Leitzphone powered by Xiaomi” name.

Design-wise, Ben notes a few small disappointments. The lack of a dedicated side shutter button stands out. Still, he praises several premium details, including the ridged frame and a haptic zoom ring built into the camera module. This is also Xiaomi’s first phone to carry Leica’s iconic red dot, which is clearly positioned as a visual statement.

Early camera samples form the core of the video. Ben compares telephoto and zoom shots directly against the Vivo X300 Pro. The results are mixed. In one scene, the Vivo delivers slightly sharper detail, while the Xiaomi handles yellow tones more naturally. Portraits are also a toss-up: Vivo’s processing looks overly smoothed, while Xiaomi’s output is softer but more natural overall.

Video samples shot around Hong Kong show smooth transitions from optical to digital zoom up to 15x, though noticeable artifacts begin to appear beyond that. Low-light footage looks promising at first glance, but moving subjects still lack consistent sharpness.

These are, of course, early impressions. Still, Ben comes away largely satisfied, suggesting Xiaomi’s Leica-tuned camera system has real potential once fully tested in everyday use.

Realme 16 Pro+ 5G Camera Samples Reveal Portrait Focus and Natural Colors

Realme has released official camera samples from the upcoming Realme 16 Pro+ 5G ahead of its India launch on January 6. These images offer a clear look at how the phone’s camera system performs in real-world shooting conditions, especially for portraits.

The samples focus heavily on people photography and show consistent results across different lighting setups. Skin tones appear natural and even, without heavy smoothing or sharpness. Fine details such as facial texture, jewelry, and fabric patterns are preserved well, indicating controlled image processing rather than aggressive tuning. Highlights on skin and metallic surfaces are handled cleanly, without visible clipping.

Portrait shots show strong subject separation. Edges around hair, ears, fingers, and accessories are accurately detected, even in close-up frames. Background blur looks smooth and gradual, with no harsh transitions. The blur effect remains consistent in both indoor and outdoor scenes.

Lighting control is another strong point in the samples. In shaded and low-light conditions, noise levels remain low, especially on skin and darker areas. Shadows retain detail, and brighter areas such as jewelry reflections and ambient light sources are kept under control. The dynamic range appears well balanced, which is important for portrait shots taken in mixed lighting.

According to earlier reports, the Realme 16 Pro+ 5G is expected to carry a box price of Rs. 43,999. That said, it is worth mentioning that the MRP written on the boxes are usually alot more than than the actual selling price of the device. For context, the Realme 14 Pro+, which is the predicessor of the Realme 16 Pro+, launched at Rs. 29,999, especially considering there was no Realme 15 Pro+ in between.

Realme has already confirmed several key specifications. The Realme 16 Pro+ 5G will feature a triple rear camera setup consisting of a 200MP main camera, an 8MP ultra wide camera, and a 50MP telephoto camera. The newly shared camera samples suggest a focus on portrait photography, with natural colors, clean subject separation, and balanced exposure across different lighting conditions.

LG Electronics will debut its home robot, LG CLOiD, at CES 2026 in Las Vegas from January 6-9. The robot handles various household tasks as a multipurpose home assistant.

The brand has shared a couple of teaser images of the robot in its press release alongside some key details. As per LG, CLOiD has two articulated arms with seven degrees of freedom each, allowing human-like movement. Each hand features five independently controlled fingers for delicate tasks requiring fine motor control.

The robot’s head contains an integrated chipset that serves as its brain, along with a display, speaker, camera, and sensors. These components enable voice interaction, navigation, and communication. LG’s Affectionate Intelligence technology lets CLOiD sense its surroundings, interact naturally with users, and improve through repeated use to provide personalized support.

LG designed CLOiD for its “Zero Labor Home, Makes Quality Time” vision. The goal is reducing household chores so people can focus on relationships and personal time instead of housework.

The robot’s size suits modern living spaces. Its sensor array and AI capabilities allow it to navigate homes, execute commands, and deliver increasingly personalized assistance over time.

LG’s announcement comes as the home robotics market becomes more competitive, with both major tech firms and startups racing to deliver practical robots for everyday use. Samsung is one of LG’s closest competitors with its Ballie home robot, which is preparing for wider release. Ballie focuses on mobility, voice interaction, and smart home control, positioning itself as an AI lifestyle assistant.

Amazon is another key player with its Astro robot, which extends Alexa into a mobile platform for home monitoring and security. Astro’s design centers on voice assistance and surveillance rather than physical work.

TCL CSOT exclusively supplies Real RGB displays for Xiaomi 17 Ultra and Leica Edition

Xiaomi has fully transitioned its flagship smartphone lineup to TCL CSOT displays, with the Xiaomi 17 Ultra and 17 Ultra Leica Edition being the latest to feature the company’s advanced Real RGB panel technology. TCL CSOT now serves as the exclusive display supplier for the entire Xiaomi 17 series, including the 17, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max models.

The Xiaomi 17 Ultra features a 6.9-inch 2K flat OLED panel. The display uses TCL CSOT’s M10 light-emitting material and supports a 1-120Hz LTPO adaptive refresh rate. It delivers up to 3500 nits of peak brightness, offering high visibility in direct sunlight and improved HDR performance. TCL CSOT designed this display solution specifically to match Xiaomi’s hardware needs for clarity, color accuracy, and power efficiency.

Unlike conventional OLED panels that rely on a PenTile sub-pixel arrangement, TCL CSOT’s Real RGB layout assigns a dedicated red, green, and blue sub-pixel to every pixel. This approach eliminates sub-pixel sharing and color fringing. It also improves text sharpness and overall image clarity, making the panel appear as sharp as a traditional 2K display without the visual compromises found in most OLEDs.

According to TCL Central, the new display reaches a luminous efficiency of 82.1 cd/A, allowing it to maintain high brightness levels with lower power consumption. The use of Real RGB combined with a power-efficient LTPO backplane results in up to 26% energy savings compared to previous display generations.

The Real RGB display was first introduced on the Xiaomi 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max earlier this year. The 17 Pro Max also debuted a 2.9-inch rear AMOLED screen, while the 17 Ultra removes the secondary display to focus on camera performance. Xiaomi optimized the Ultra’s display to support LOFIC HDR, allowing it to accurately reproduce the dynamic range captured by the device’s 1-inch sensor.

Xiaomi and TCL CSOT have expanded their cooperation since establishing a strategic partnership in 2017. The companies set up a display innovation laboratory in 2021, followed by a Phase II expansion in July 2025. This collaboration allows Xiaomi to request precise hardware tuning for its flagship models, replacing reliance on off-the-shelf components from other suppliers.
