We first heard the news of Lenovo working on the first gaming laptop with a rollable display earlier this month, bringing an ultrawide gaming experience with a portable form factor. But now, the hardware of the Legion Pro Rollable has just been revealed, and it might pack some of the best hardware for a high end gaming experience.
Lenovo Legion Pro Rollable Specifications
The latest information arrives from a Windows Latest report. Lenovo is rumored to equip the Legion Pro Rollable gaming laptop with Intel’s top mobile chip, which is the Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU. This is expected to be coupled with Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 5090 GPU. If this configuration seems familiar, the report states that this new gaming laptop is based on the Legion Pro 7i.

While these are definitely impressive specifications, the highlight of the Legion Pro Rollable is its rollable PureSight OLED screen. It has a base display size of 16 inches, but it can extend by rolling out to a max screen size of 21.5 inches. This also helps turn it from a traditional 16:9 aspect ratio to an ultra wide 21:9 aspect ratio. Not only does this allow for a more immersive gaming experience, but one would also see an improved visual experience with cinema shot at this aspect ratio.
The report adds that the rollable OLED display uses dual motors on the sides for the display extending function. Lenovo is reportedly making this a low noise process by using low friction materials. Furthermore, Windows Latest claims that the Legion Pro Rollable gaming laptop will also pack various AI tools like Lenovo’s AI Engine+, Smart FPS, AI Frame Gaming Display, AI Screen Detection, and more. Keep in mind that this is still just an unconfirmed report, and we can expect to hear more about this notebook during the upcoming CES 2026 event.

GameSir has introduced the G8 Plus MFi, its first telescopic controller to receive Apple’s Made for iPhone/iPad (MFi) certification, giving iOS gamers a wired, low-latency option designed specifically for iPhones and the iPad mini.
The controller is priced at $79.99 and connects directly via USB-C, avoiding the latency issues sometimes associated with Bluetooth accessories. It also includes pass-through charging, allowing users to top up their device while playing, along with a 3.5mm headphone jack for wired audio.
In terms of design, the G8 Plus MFi comes in a white finish with gray accents on the sticks, buttons, and triggers. GameSir has opted for Hall Effect thumbsticks and analog triggers to reduce wear and drift over time, paired with a mechanical D-pad and membrane ABXY buttons. Two programmable rear buttons are built into the grips for added control in competitive titles.
One of the more flexible elements is the magnetic, removable faceplate, which allows users to swap thumbstick heights or change the ABXY layout to better match Xbox- or PlayStation-style button arrangements.
While aimed primarily at iOS users, the controller also supports select Android devices up to 215mm in length, including smaller tablets. That said, it differs from the standard GameSir G8 Plus in a few key ways. The MFi version drops wireless connectivity, an internal battery, and gyroscope support in favor of a simpler wired setup that meets Apple’s certification requirements.
The GameSir G8 Plus MFi is now available through Amazon and GameSir’s official store. For iOS players looking for a console-style controller without stepping into higher price brackets, it offers a straightforward, officially supported alternative.

Anbernic has officially launched the RG477V handheld gaming console. The new device supports emulation for consoles like the PlayStation 2 and Wii U and runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 8300 processor. The base model with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage is priced at $199.99, while the higher-end variant with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage is available for $239.99.
Anbernic RG477V Specifications
The RG477V features a 4.7-inch LTPS In-Cell screen with a 4:3 aspect ratio and a resolution of 1280×960. The display supports a refresh rate of up to 120Hz and includes black frame insertion (BFI) to improve the smoothness of 60 fps gameplay. The handheld runs on Android 14 and supports more than 30 types of emulators, in addition to native Android games.
The device is powered by the Dimensity 8300 chipset, built on a 4nm process. The chip includes one Cortex-A715 core at 3.35GHz, three Cortex-A715 cores at 3.2GHz, and four Cortex-A510 cores at 2.2GHz. It is paired with a Mali-G615 MC6 GPU.

The RG477V also includes features such as RGB lighting on its Hall-effect joysticks, dual speakers, a six-axis gyroscope, and a built-in cooling system with a heat pipe and high-speed fan. The device supports 27W fast charging over USB-C and houses a 5,500mAh battery rated for up to 8 hours of gameplay.
It also includes Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, and DisplayPort output via USB-C, which allows 1080p screen projection and dual-screen gameplay for systems like the Nintendo DS and 3DS.
Anbernic offers the RG477V in two color options: black and retro gray. Buyers can choose configurations with or without bundled SD cards. The company is currently offering a $20 discount on early orders placed before December 23.
The Honor Magic 8 lineup currently includes the Magic 8 Lite, Magic 8, and Magic 8 Pro. For a while now, rumors have hinted at a more compact addition to the family. But if a new leak is to be believed, Honor is not just working on one new Magic 8 phone, but three.
According to a new report from Weibo tipster Fixed Focus Digital, Honor is currently working on Honor Magic 8S, Magic 8 Air, and Magic 8 RSR.
The Magic 8S is likely the slim (or compact) model we’ve been hearing about. It’s said to run on MediaTek’s upcoming Dimensity 9500 chip and feature a 6.3-inch flat OLED display with 1.5K resolution and LTPO support.
The phone is also rumored to launch in four finishes, Feather White, Shadow Black, Light Orange, and Fairy Purple, and include a metal frame alongside an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor.
Honor Magic 8 Air is a surprise
The Magic 8 Air is a new entrant in the lineup, and the reasoning is clear. Many brands are following the trend of slim phones after Apple released the iPhone Air. However, we currently know nothing specific about the Magic 8 Air.
That said, a previous report revealed that an upcoming Honor phone with a thickness in the 5–6mm range is in the works. It is said to feature a 6.31-inch display, a 200MP main camera paired with a telephoto lens on the rear, and a battery capacity of around 5,500mAh. While we can’t say for sure, this device could be the rumored Honor Magic 8 Air.
Adding to this, Fixed Focus Digital also claimed earlier today that Honor is working on a phone that looks “even more Apple-like” than the Honor 500 series. This suggests that Magic 8 Air could borrow design cues from iPhone Air, much like the Honor 500 already does.
Finally, there’s the Magic 8 RSR, which is the least surprising of the three. It’s expected to succeed last year’s Magic 7 RSR and, much like its predecessor, should closely mirror the Magic 8 Pro in terms of specs.
The leak reveals that Honor Magic 8 Air and Magic 8 RSR will launch in mid-to-late January.
Inphic has launched a new gaming mouse that is more about manufacturing than raw specs. The company’s latest model, called the IN10 (also referred to as IN103D) is a 3D-printed mouse that uses a photosensitive resin shell produced through a 3D printing process rather than traditional injection molding.
The most obvious result is the mouse’s biomimetic honeycomb structure. The shell is porous, with ventilation holes designed to improve airflow while keeping the overall weight down.
Inphic says different areas of the shell are tuned with varying levels of softness and hardness to maintain comfort and grip depending on where your hand rests. At around 72 grams, the mouse is also lightweight to work with.
High-end internals with tri-mode connectivity
Inside, the IN10 is built around a custom Inphic KP950B main control chip paired with PixArt’s PAW3950 optical sensor. The sensor supports a DPI range from 50 up to 30,000, adjustable through software.
Inphic has also opted for TTC Qinglong optical switches, rated for up to 100 million clicks, along with a TTC Qinglong Ice & Fire scroll wheel encoder. High-purity PTFE feet round out the hardware details.
Connectivity is another area where the IN10 tries to cover all bases. It supports tri-mode operation, including USB-C wired mode at up to 1,000Hz polling, 2.4GHz wireless with polling rates reaching 8,000Hz, and Bluetooth 5.0 for more casual or mobile use.
The mouse ships with a 1.8-meter braided paracord cable that includes a ferrite core, as well as an 8K nano wireless receiver. Power comes from a built-in 500mAh rechargeable battery.
On the software side, Inphic offers both web-based and desktop clients for adjusting DPI, polling rate, and other settings. Physically, the mouse measures 125 × 62 × 40 mm, suggesting a fairly standard right-handed shape.
Pricing and Availability
The 3D mouse retails at 423.3 yuan in China, which translates to some $60. You can purchase it via JD.com.
Until recently, I never took gaming chairs seriously. For years, I relied solely on typical office chairs, usually mesh-back models or faux leather types with basic adjustability. They did the job, but comfort was always a compromise, and none of them ever felt quite right for long sessions at the desk.
Then I got the DXRacer Martian (Non-Pro), and after using it for a month, I can confidently say it has changed my perception of what a well-built ergonomic chair can offer. This isn’t just a “gamer aesthetic” product. It’s a thoughtfully engineered piece of equipment that genuinely improved my daily comfort.
Setup Experience
Unboxing the chair was straightforward, although it’s definitely a two-person job because of the sheer weight. DXRacer wasn’t kidding when they built this like a tank. Once out of the box, assembly was relatively easy. The manual and clearly labeled components made the process smooth, and I appreciated how the electronics were plug-and-play. The battery module installs like a power tool battery, and all the wires are numbered, so there’s no confusion.
What stood out during the setup was how precise the construction felt. Everything aligned properly, no wobble, no loose-fitting screws, and the fit-and-finish was clearly a cut above the average.
Design and Materials
I went with the Black-Grey variant in size L. Visually, it strikes a nice balance between gaming and office chair styling. The branding is subtle, the silhouette is sleek, and the overall look is clean and professional enough to not look out of place in a studio or work-from-home setup. The materials feel premium. The EPU leatherette has a soft matte texture that avoids the sticky, plasticky feel you often get with cheaper PU chairs.
The chair is also incredibly heavy, close to 70 lbs, which I initially saw as a downside, but that weight translates into stability. It never creaks, wobbles, or shifts unintentionally. The powder-coated aluminum alloy base and steel frame give the Martian a sturdy, grounded feel. It’s clear this chair was built with longevity in mind.
Comfort and Daily Use
This is where the Martian really earned its keep. I’ve had back strain issues for over two years, and I was admittedly skeptical about how much a chair could help. But after using the Martian consistently for the past month, I noticed a significant reduction in my back discomfort, especially during long editing or writing sessions.
The cold-cure foam is on the firmer side, but not in a punishing way. It holds its shape and provides consistent support throughout the day. I never felt like I was sinking in or losing posture. In fact, it encouraged better posture without forcing it. Over time, the foam seems to soften slightly, but it never loses structure.
The seat base is wide and flat, which I appreciate because I tend to sit cross-legged occasionally. There are no aggressive side bolsters pinching my thighs like you find in some racing-style chairs. This open design contributes a lot to its day-to-day comfort.
Electric Recline and Lumbar Support
The motorized recline is something I initially thought would be a gimmick, but it’s probably one of my favorite features now. You just tap a button on the left side, and the backrest glides back silently to whatever angle you prefer (up to 135°). It’s not fast, but the motion is smooth and precise. This level of control is hard to achieve with mechanical levers.
Then there’s the smart air lumbar system. This is not a loose cushion or a stiff plastic plate. The Martian has two internal airbags that you can adjust in four directions using a small D-pad-style control placed on the right side.
I wasn’t sure how impactful this would be until I used it for a few days. Being able to fine-tune the lumbar depth and position to match the natural S-curve of my back made a noticeable difference. It adapts to my posture even when I shift slightly, which keeps my lower back supported throughout the day.
Headrest and Armrests
The magnetic memory foam headrest is another surprisingly great feature. No straps, no awkward adjustments. You just slide it up or down the backrest, and it clicks into place magnetically. It’s firm enough to provide proper support, and the vertical adjustment range is wide enough to accommodate my height comfortably (I’m around 5’7”).
As for the armrests, they’re 4D adjustable and have magnetic top plates, so you can swap them out in the future. The included pads are fairly standard, firm polyurethane, but they get the job done. I haven’t had any discomfort with them.
There is a slight wobble in the armrest mechanism, but it is minor and does not cause any discomfort. The armrests offer enough adjustability to easily position them where they feel comfortable, whether I am typing, gaming, or leaning back.
Battery and Charging
Initially, I was concerned about the idea of charging a chair. But in practice, it’s not an issue at all. The internal 5,000mAh battery lasts about two to three weeks on a single charge with light daily adjustments.
When it’s low, you can either plug it in using the retractable cable or remove the battery and charge it like a power bank. I’ve settled into a habit of charging it once every two weeks, similar to how I treat my wireless mouse.
One thing to be aware of: if the battery dies completely, you can’t adjust the recline or lumbar until it’s recharged. The chair still works as a static seat, but you lose the electric features until power is restored.
Real-World Fit and Limitations
For context, I use a fairly static desk setup with a non-adjustable monitor and a fixed-height desk. I did notice that even at its tallest setting, the chair sits just a bit lower than I’d like. If the gas lift had a slightly higher max extension, it would have helped me line up perfectly with my monitor height.
That said, this is something I have noticed across most premium gaming chairs, so it is not a deal-breaker. It’s just worth keeping in mind if you have a taller-than-average desk.
The other thing to note is that this chair isn’t made for horizontal lounging. The 135° recline is good for leaning back to watch something or relax, but it doesn’t go fully flat like some models that recline to 160° or more. If you’re the type who naps in your chair, this may feel a bit limited.
Martian Pro vs Non-Pro
One of our editors also had the chance to test and review the Martian Pro variant. The main differences come down to a few additional features in the Pro version: seat heating, cooling ventilation, and a built-in massage function.
The Non-Pro retains the same core strengths, electric recline, smart lumbar, and high-end materials, but skips the extra electronics that drain the battery faster or add potential failure points. If you’re after a cleaner, simpler experience that still feels futuristic, the Non-Pro is honestly the more practical choice. You can read our detailed Martian Pro review separately if you’re curious about how those additional features hold up.
Final Thoughts
Switching to the DXRacer Martian (Non-Pro) has been a surprisingly transformative experience. Coming from regular office chairs, I didn’t expect such a dramatic improvement in posture and comfort. The smart lumbar system alone justifies the price for me, given the relief it has brought to my back strain. The build quality is rock-solid, the materials feel premium, and the electric adjustments feel like a genuine step forward, not a gimmick.
It’s not a cheap chair, and it’s not without its quirks. The weight makes it hard to move, the battery needs occasional attention, and the recline range isn’t for loungers. But for someone who spends hours at a desk and values comfort, posture, and thoughtful ergonomics, the Martian Non-Pro checks nearly all the boxes.
Would I go back to a traditional chair after this? Honestly, no. Not unless it has the same kind of intelligent support and solid construction. The Martian has earned its place in my setup, not as a flashy gaming accessory, but as a tool that actually supports how I work and play.
Pricing and Availability
The DXRacer Martian (Non‑Pro) is priced at $659.00 and is available directly from DXRacer’s official website and select authorized retailers. Availability may vary depending on size and color variant.

Huawei has started rolling out a new HarmonyOS update for its foldable PC, the MateBook Fold, bringing a long list of bug fixes and usability improvements just ahead of the holiday season.
The update, labeled HarmonyOS 6.0.0.120 SP1, began reaching users on December 20, 2025. According to Huawei, the release focuses on stability, display behavior, and day-to-day productivity rather than introducing major new features.
One of the more notable fixes addresses screen projection issues, including distorted or abnormal mirroring when connecting certain handheld gaming consoles. Huawei has also resolved cases where the device failed to wake properly from sleep in specific monitor modes, along with odd pop-up windows that could appear during wired display connections.
Several improvements target everyday productivity apps. The Gallery app now behaves more consistently when deleting images using shortcut keys and simplifies saving edited images. File Management gains quicker access to synced documents, applies view preferences across folders, integrates cloud media more smoothly into file pickers, and fixes incomplete search results when browsing cloud drives.
Huawei’s AI assistant, Xiaoyi, also sees refinements. In addition to a seasonal touch—typing or saying “Happy New Year” triggers a full-screen fireworks animation—the update improves smart note handling, fixes occasional network-related sync issues, and makes continuous conversations more reliable.
At the system level, the update adds support for individual apps to be minimized while using split-screen mode, and expands app cloning for users managing multiple accounts. Other additions include smoother system animations, improved QR code recognition, broader app compatibility through virtualization enhancements, and the December 2025 security patch. Huawei also says several printer-related bugs have been resolved.
As with previous system updates, some users may notice temporary warmth or increased battery usage immediately after installation, which should settle after a few days.
With this SP1 release, Huawei appears focused on polishing the MateBook Fold’s software experience—an important step as foldable PCs continue to push into more mainstream productivity use.
Google Pixel users testing Android 16 QPR3 Beta 1 are reporting a severe camera-related bug that affects the focusing mechanism. As a result, it makes it impossible to take clear photos in high-resolution photo modes. The issue reportedly appears after installing the build CP11.251114.006.
According to user reports shared on platforms like Reddit and Google’s issue tracker, the camera lens begins to physically vibrate when the phone attempts to focus. This results in shaky behaviour and blurry images.
The problem seems to occur when shooting in 50-megapixel mode using the main or ultrawide cameras. In regular 12-megapixel mode, the camera works as expected. Users say the issue shows up even in good lighting conditions and can happen during tap-to-focus or manual focusing.
Several affected users have described the phone vibrating noticeably. Reports suggest the bug may be linked to how the camera software handles high-resolution image processing in the current beta build.
At the moment, there is no permanent fix. Common steps like clearing the camera app cache or reinstalling updates do not resolve the problem, as it seems to be tied to the system itself. For now, affected users can avoid the “shaky” camera glitch by avoiding the high-resolution mode altogether.
Google has acknowledged multiple reports and is likely working on a fix that can be expected in a future beta update or a minor patch — though there is no confirmed timeline yet.
Interestingly, the upgraded 50MP ultrawide of the Galaxy S25 Ultra faced the same issue earlier this year.
Xiaomi is launching the 17 Ultra this week, and the company has also explained why the phone is arriving earlier than its predecessor. Now, we finally have a proper look at the device itself, thanks to Xiaomi Group Vice President and CMO Xu Fei.
Fei shared a short video on Toutiao, officially revealing the design of the Xiaomi 17 Ultra for the first time.
The model shown in the video features a simple white finish that feels deliberately understated. On the back, a large circular camera module sits at the center, with the Leica logo placed in the middle of the circular housing. At the top, the phone includes two flashes arranged symmetrically.
Overall, the phone looks very similar to the Xiaomi 15 Ultra and other Ultra phones from Chinese manufacturers. This common design choice largely stems from the need to fit camera hardware into a top-tier flagship device.
Xiaomi shares the first camera sample of 17 Ultra
Speaking of cameras, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra uses a triple rear camera setup led by a new main sensor: the OmniVision OV50X. This flagship 1-inch sensor, developed in China, includes third-generation LOFIC technology designed to improve dynamic range and low-light performance.
Alongside the main camera, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra also introduces a new Leica-branded 200-megapixel periscope telephoto lens. Xiaomi says this lens module is about 35 percent larger than the one used in the Xiaomi 15 Ultra.
The lens has also received Leica APO optical certification, which focuses on reducing color fringing and improving clarity, especially at long zoom ranges.
More broadly, Xiaomi is positioning the 17 Ultra as the first phone under a new “strategic co-creation model” with Leica. According to the company, this deeper collaboration aims to push night photography and telephoto shooting forward in noticeable ways.
Alongside the design reveal, Xiaomi has also shared its first camera sample from the 17 Ultra.
We expect official teasers to begin soon, ahead of the launch.
Samsung could be planning to keep Exynos at the heart of its clamshell foldable lineup. A new report suggests the Galaxy Z Flip 8 will use the 2nm-based Exynos 2600 chip.
This would follow the move made with the Galaxy Z Flip 7, which marked the first time the Flip series moved away from Snapdragon and adopted an Exynos chip instead. Up until then, every Galaxy Z Flip model since the original 2020 launch had relied on Qualcomm processors. The switch with the Z Flip 7 signaled a change in strategy, with Samsung seemingly more confident in deploying its own silicon in premium foldables.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7
The Exynos 2600 was officially unveiled just recently and is also expected to power Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26+ models. However, rumors suggest the Exynos variants of the S26 lineup may remain exclusive to the home country.
Samsung is positioning the 2nm-based Exynos chip as a step forward in both performance and efficiency, which is particularly important for compact devices like the Flip. However, past Exynos launches suggest it’s worth waiting for real-world performance data before drawing conclusions.
Apart from the 2nm-based chip, another highlight of the Flip 8 will be its thickness — suggests a recent leak. Samsung apparently has plans to slim down the upcoming flip, following what it did with the Fold 7.
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 launched in July 2025, and Samsung is expected to follow a similar timeline for the Galaxy Z Flip 8. At this stage, specifications remain subject to change, and Samsung has not confirmed any details.
Still, the report suggests Samsung is serious about establishing Exynos as a long-term solution for its foldables, at least for the Flip lineup. Whether that approach pays off will likely depend on real-world performance and efficiency once the device launches.
TCL has launched the Little Blue Wing P7 Ultra, its first smart health air conditioner powered by the OpenHarmony operating system. The 1.5HP wall-mounted model is priced at 5,999 yuan ($852) and features advanced AI-driven technologies focused on sleep quality, air purification, and energy efficiency.
TCL P7 Ultra Specifications
The air conditioner is equipped with TCL’s new AI Healthy Sleep system. It uses a millimeter-wave radar-based sensor called AI Sleep Eye to detect human presence, body movement, and sleep stages within a 5-meter range.
The system adjusts airflow, temperature, and wind direction in real time based on subtle sleep-related movements such as turning over or pulling a blanket. It also uses AI genetic algorithms to learn long-term sleep habits and create personalized temperature curves.
TCL has included a dual-cycle fresh air system that supports a maximum airflow of 60 cubic meters per hour. It uses micro positive pressure ventilation to bring in oxygen-rich outdoor air while maintaining indoor air pressure.
The system can filter PM2.5 particles with 99.55% efficiency, carbon dioxide with 99.10% efficiency, and formaldehyde with 91.94% efficiency. When outdoor air quality is poor, the unit switches to internal circulation and purifies indoor air. It also features a built-in TVOC gas sensor that displays air quality levels through a color-coded indicator.
The P7 Ultra supports TCL’s One-Touch AI Good Air mode powered by its Fuxi AI model. The system analyzes indoor and outdoor conditions and automatically adjusts temperature, humidity, and airflow. It also includes Soft Wind 5.0 technology, which uses perforated swing blades and dual-layer airflow guides to reduce discomfort caused by direct air.
For control, the air conditioner supports over one million offline voice commands. It is compatible with third-party ecosystems such as Tmall Genie, Baidu Xiaodu, and Huawei devices. The device also integrates HiSilicon’s StarFlash Wi-Fi 6 chip and achieves Grade 1 energy efficiency with an APF of 5.60.
In related news, TCL has recently launched the A400 Pro QD-Mini LED Art TV with 4K resolution, a 144Hz refresh rate, and AI art generation features. The company has also unveiled the budget-focused T7 Series 4K QLED TVs, which offer a 144Hz refresh rate and run on Google TV.

Oppo may be getting ready to launch a compact, higher-end phone in India. A new leak shared by tipster Debayan Roy on X points to a device named the Reno 15 Pro Mini, with several key specs now surfacing online.
The phone is said to carry the model number CPH2813 and feature a 6.32-inch flat OLED display with 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. That would put it on the smaller side by current standards, while still offering a high-end screen.
Powering the device is reportedly the MediaTek Dimensity 8450, the same chip used in the regular Reno 15. Performance should be in line with other upper mid-range phones, with enough headroom for gaming and everyday multitasking.
Camera specs are where things get interesting. The Reno 15 Pro Mini is tipped to feature a 200MP main camera, alongside a 50MP ultrawide and a 50MP telephoto camera with 3.5x optical zoom. A 50MP front camera is also mentioned, suggesting Oppo isn’t cutting back on imaging despite the smaller size.
Charging is said to top out at 80W wired, with wireless charging also expected, though no speeds have been detailed. The leak also points to a one-piece cold-carved glass back, a Glacier White color option, and a body measuring around 7.99mm thick with a weight of roughly 187 grams.
There’s no word yet on pricing or launch timing, but the phone is expected to debut in India. If the leak holds up, the Reno 15 Pro Mini could end up being a notable compact option with a capable camera setup.
The Xiaomi 17 Ultra was previously rumored to include a single, “more capable” telephoto camera instead of two. However, it wasn’t clear how exactly it would improve image quality. Now, we have more information—and it’s much more exciting. Leaked screenshots of the camera app, shared on Weibo, reveal more details about the telephoto setup of the upcoming flagship.
The images show standard zoom presets at 0.6x, 1x, and 2x. However, the telephoto section appears to allow smooth zooming between 3x and 4.3x, covering focal lengths from 70mm to 100mm. The interface also includes references to a “Leica 200MP continuous optical zoom” system, pointing to genuine optical adjustments rather than a multi-lens solution.
The predecessor, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, features two telephoto cameras: a 50MP 70mm lens and a 200MP 100mm lens, with shots taken between 70mm and 100mm relying on digital zoom from the shorter telephoto. Most top-of-the-line flagships today rely on this multi-lens approach because it’s easier to manufacture and implement. However, a continuous optical zoom system can offer superior image quality. It’s also relatively rare in the smartphone space, which could help the Xiaomi 17 Ultra stand out from its competitors.
Sony has been testing and refining this technology for its smartphones for some time. The Xperia 1 IV from 2022 offered a continuous optical zoom between 3.5x and 5.2x. The company has continued to expand that range and now offers a 3.5x–7.1x optical zoom on its 2025 flagship, the Xperia 1 VII. Now, it appears Xiaomi may be joining that short list.
Combined with a large 200MP ISOCELL HPE sensor measuring 1/1.4 inches, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra should offer far more flexibility than its predecessor and most competitors with fixed telephoto lenses.
Beyond the new telephoto camera, the leak also mentions a Leica APO lens and a new 1-inch main sensor, further reinforcing Xiaomi’s focus on photography for this model.
The Xiaomi 17 Ultra is rumored to launch in China this week, with global availability expected later. If the leaks are accurate, Xiaomi could be setting a new benchmark for smartphone zoom performance.
Xiaomi has officially listed the new Xiaomi Home Screen 11 on JD.com. The company describes it as its most powerful home screen device to date. The smart display is expected to launch next week alongside the Xiaomi 17 Ultra and other upcoming products.
Xiaomi Home Screen 11 Specifications
The Xiaomi Home Screen 11 comes with an 11-inch display at 1920×1200 resolution and a 16:10 aspect ratio. The panel reaches 400 nits of brightness, offers a 1500:1 contrast ratio, and carries TÜV Rheinland low blue light certification to reduce eye strain. It also supports family photo albums, dynamic magazine-style screensavers, and classic artwork for ambient display.
The device uses a metal unibody frame with a rear-facing speaker layout, which helps reduce the overall body volume by over 35% compared to the previous model. It supports continuous tilt adjustment from 0 to 60 degrees. The new design includes a fabric speaker grille and curved corners for better integration with various home interiors.
Xiaomi has equipped the Home Screen 11 with an octa-core processor, 6GB of RAM, and 32GB of internal storage. The device runs on Xiaomi’s HyperOS 3, which improves system response times and shortens voice wake-up latency for Xiao Ai, Xiaomi’s AI voice assistant. The interface allows users to control smart devices, check appliance statuses, and perform multi-step commands with a single voice prompt.
The audio system includes four speaker units with independent sound chambers to separate high and mid-low frequencies. This setup improves stereo separation and vocal clarity for music, video playback, and voice calls. Connectivity options include Bluetooth 5.4 and dual-band Wi-Fi on 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks.
The device supports high-definition video calls through an 8MP front camera. It also includes a physical camera cover and an EAL5+ certified security chip for privacy protection. Xiaomi has included far-field microphones for hands-free voice activation across rooms.
As a central smart home hub, the Home Screen 11 supports Bluetooth Mesh, Xiaomi Mesh 2.0, and infrared remote control. It is compatible with a wide range of smart devices from Xiaomi and third-party brands through the Mi Home app. The device uses a wired power connection and does not include a battery, ensuring stable operation throughout the day.
In related news, Xiaomi has recently launched its most expensive ceiling light yet, featuring 10,000-lumen brightness, eye-protection features, and HyperOS support. The company has also introduced the Mijia Washer Dryer Set Pro with 12kg washing and 12kg drying capacity, running on HyperOS.

Samsung’s next book-style foldable could bring more camera changes than expected. A new report claims the Galaxy Z Fold 8, which isn’t expected until 2026, will focus on upgrading its secondary cameras rather.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7
According to GalaxyClub, Samsung plans to keep the 200MP primary camera introduced with the Galaxy Z Fold 7. The 10MP selfie cameras on both the cover display and the inner screen are also said to remain unchanged, with no mention of the under-display camera returning.
The upgrades:
Where things get interesting is the rear camera setup. The telephoto lens is reportedly sticking with 3x optical zoom, but the sensor could be upgraded from 10MP to 12MP. The report suggests this may be the same sensor Samsung plans to use on the Galaxy S26 Ultra. This upgrade is expected to improve clarity in zoomed shots, particularly in low-light conditions.
The ultrawide camera may see an even bigger jump. Samsung is said to be moving from the 12MP ultrawide of the Fold 7 to the 50MP one of the S25 Ultra. If accurate, it would significantly narrow the gap between the Fold series and Samsung’s top-of-the-line flagship slab phones.
As with any early leak, details could change. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 is expected to launch no earlier than July 2026, and Samsung has plenty of time to revise its plans. Still, GalaxyClub has been reliable with past Samsung hardware details.
For now, the leak suggests Samsung is continuing to treat its foldables less like experiments and more like true flagship camera phones.
Xiaomi is launching its next Ultra phone earlier than usual, and the company says it’s doing so for a very practical reason: people want better photos during the holidays.
During a recent live broadcast, Xiaomi Group president Lu Weibing explained why the Xiaomi 17 Ultra is arriving ahead of schedule. According to Lu, many fans had asked Xiaomi to release the Ultra model before the Chinese New Year, so they could use it to take family photos during the holiday.
In response, Xiaomi decided to move up the launch. The Xiaomi 17 Ultra is set to arrive before New Year’s Day, giving users time to use it throughout the Chinese New Year period.
Xiaomi 17 Ultra teaser
Xiaomi has already confirmed that the Xiaomi 17 Ultra will be officially unveiled next week. As expected, imaging is once again the main focus here. The phone will have its cameras tuned by Leica, however, Xiaomi says the 17 Ultra more than just camera tuning.
Starting with the 17 Ultra, the two companies have adopted what Xiaomi calls a “strategic co-creation model,” meaning Leica is involved from the very beginning of product development rather than just tuning the camera at the end.
Lu says this deeper collaboration has resulted in a new-generation 1-inch main camera sensor and a Leica APO-certified telephoto lens designed specifically for mobile photography.
Xiaomi claims this new optical system delivers major improvements in both night photography and telephoto performance.
The brand is clear on the price hike
Alongside the early launch, Xiaomi is also being upfront about a price increase. The previous Xiaomi 15 Ultra launched at 6,499 yuan, but the Xiaomi 17 Ultra will start at at least 6,599 yuan, with Lu hinting it could be even higher.

During the live stream, Lu explained that rapidly rising memory costs are a major reason behind the price hike. He said that AI-driven demand has caused memory prices to climb sharply since late 2022, and that 2025 through 2027 will be especially challenging years for component costs.
Lu also reminded viewers that when the Xiaomi 15 Ultra launched, he had already called it the “last” Ultra phone at that price. This time, Xiaomi isn’t just dealing with higher processor and camera costs; memory prices have also jumped significantly. While Lu admitted the increase is noticeable, he argued that the final price is still a good value compared to how much component costs have risen overall.
HMD appears to be working on a new budget smartphone, and an early leak has now revealed what the device could offer. The alleged HMD Vibe 2 was recently spotted in a post shared by tipster HMD_MEME’S on X.
Based on the leaked information, the Vibe 2 is expected to feature a 6.75″ IPS LCD display with HD+ resolution. The panel is said to support a 90Hz refresh rate, which should make everyday use feel smoother than typical 60Hz displays.
The device is reportedly powered by the Unisoc T7200, a 4G chipset. This is paired with 4GB of RAM. To be honest, this setup won’t be pushing performance boundaries. It can handle basic tasks like social media, video streaming, and web browsing.
Storage options are said to include 128GB and 256GB, along with microSD card expansion, a feature that’s becoming increasingly rare.
Camera hardware also appears to be kept simple. The leak points to a 50MP main rear camera, paired with a secondary 0.8MP sensor that is generally included for the dual-camera design. It may also help with depth sensing for portrait mode. On the front, the phone may ship with either a 2MP or 5MP selfie camera.
Powering the Vibe 2 is a 5000mAh battery, which should comfortably last a full day. Charging speeds are limited to 10W wired charging. Interestingly, the phone is tipped to launch with Android 15, which would give it a software edge over many budget rivals.
To recall, the HMD Vibe launched in June 2024 with the Snapdragon 680 4G processor, a 13MP rear camera, a 5MP selfie camera housed in a hole-punch cutout, a 4,000mAh battery, and a slightly smaller display. The phone is currently available on Flipkart for ₹8,999.
Interestingly, the leaked render of the Vibe 2 shows a waterdrop notch, which—if accurate—would represent a downgrade from the hole-punch design. That said, this is offset by a refined rear camera layout that looks noticeably more modern.
There’s no word yet on pricing or launch timing, but if this leak is accurate, the HMD Vibe 2 looks like another practical, no-frills option aimed at budget-conscious buyers.
