Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy A07 5G has surfaced once again, this time on Geekbench’s GPU Compute Benchmark test, giving us an idea of what to expect from the company’s next entry-level 5G phone. The new listing follows an earlier benchmark that was widely questioned, making this appearance far more interesting for anyone tracking Samsung’s budget lineup.
The device shows up under the model number SM-A076B, first spotted by tipster @yabhishekhd. According to the listing, the phone scored 1,361 points in the OpenCL test, offering a rough idea of its GPU performance. The listing further reveals an octa-core CPU setup, with six efficiency cores clocked at 2.0GHz and two performance cores running at 2.4GHz, paired with a Mali-G57 MC2 GPU.
These details strongly suggest the Galaxy A07 5G is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300, the same chip used in the Galaxy A06 5G. If accurate, Samsung appears to be sticking with familiar hardware while likely focusing on slight tweaks or refinements elsewhere. The benchmark also confirms 4GB of RAM and shows the phone running Android 16, which would make it one of the more affordable devices for Galaxy fans to look forward to.
Beyond benchmarks, the Galaxy A07 5G has already started appearing on official Samsung support pages across multiple regions. The phone has also picked up certifications from Nemko and the Bluetooth SIG, further hinting that its launch is getting closer.
As for timing, recent tips point to a launch either later this month or in early January 2026. While Samsung hasn’t confirmed anything yet, the growing number of listings and certifications suggests an announcement isn’t far off. If priced right, the Galaxy A07 5G could become a solid option for buyers looking for basic performance, 5G connectivity, and up-to-date software at a budget price.

Vivo S50 Pro Mini in Confession White
Meanwhile, the front also houses a flat panel. It sports a relatively small 6.31-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution (2640 x 1216p), a 120Hz refresh rate, eye protection display features, 94.38 percent screen-to-body ratio, 5000 nits of peak brightness, 4320Hz PWM dimming, and an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner.
Performance
Powering the Vivo S50 Pro Mini is Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Gen 5. This offers a notable jump in performance over its predecessor, the Vivo S30 Pro Mini, which was powered by the older Dimensity 9300+ SoC. In a typical smartphone lineup launch, the smaller model is the base model, while the more expensive smartphone has a larger display. A great example is the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro Max. But Vivo’s new compact phone is undoubtedly the more premium option.
This new chipset is paired with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X Ultra RAM and 512GB of UFS 4.1 storage. Despite the small physical footprint, the Vivo S50 Pro Mini houses an impressively large 6,500mAh battery pack, which supports 90W wired fast charging and 40W wireless fast charging. Other notable features include stereo dual speakers, an X-axis linear motor, Bluetooth 5.4, WiFi 7, and Android 16 OS based OriginOS 6 custom skin out of the box.
Camera
Inspirational Purple
The brand isn’t building a phone with performance only in mind. Just like the last gen model, you get a versatile camera system, but the image sensors seem to remain unchanged. So you get a 50MP main camera (1/1.56-inch, OIS, f/1.57), a 50MP Sony IMX882 periscope telephoto shooter (3x optical zoom, OIS, f/2.65), and an 8MP ultra wide angle lens (110° FOV, f/2.2, autofocus). Meanwhile, the front houses a 50MP shooter for selfies and video calls (f/2.0).
Pricing and Availability
Vivo just announced the S50 Pro Mini in China in three color options, namely Confession White, Inspiration Purple, and Deep Space Black. It is also available in multiple storage configurations, so here are the pricing details:
12GB + 256GB – 3,699 Yuan (roughly 524 US Dollars)
12GB + 512GB – 3,999 Yuan (roughly 567 US Dollars)
16GB + 512GB – 4,299 Yuan (roughly 609 US Dollars)
The Vivo S50 Pro Mini has been launched in China and will be available for purchase via the brand’s official website in the region.

Xiaomi now builds its own home appliances, starting with a self-produced central air conditioner.
The factory uses automotive-grade smart manufacturing with full inspection and ultra-fast production.
Rapid construction and in-house control let Xiaomi scale smarter, more affordable appliances faster.
Global market impact: Xiaomi’s in-house, high-efficiency manufacturing could lower global appliance prices and accelerate smart product innovation among established brands.
Xiaomi has officially completed and put into operation its first large home appliance factory, the Wuhan Xiaomi Smart Home Appliance Factory (Phase I), located in Wuhan’s East Lake High-tech Development Zone (Optics Valley). This is Xiaomi Group’s third major smart factory, following its smartphone smart factory and automotive super factory, and it marks a clear shift in strategy from outsourcing appliances to building them in-house.
The first product from the factory, the Mi Home Central Air Conditioner Pro, has been announced as “coming soon.” Featuring a dual fan wheel design, it is Xiaomi’s first self-produced central air conditioner and represents Xiaomi taking full control over design, quality, and production, an approach more commonly seen in the automotive industry than in home appliances.
Smart manufacturing is central to the factory’s role. Key components undergo 100% quality inspection, while production efficiency allows one air conditioner to come off the line in as little as 6.5 seconds. The entire facility is connected to Xiaomi’s Surge Intelligent Manufacturing Platform, enabling tighter quality control, faster iteration, and deeper integration with Xiaomi’s smart home ecosystem.
The speed of construction also reflects Xiaomi’s manufacturing ambitions. The project moved from agreement signing in August 2024 to structural topping-out by January 2025, earning praise for refreshing the “Optics Valley speed.”
Phase I focuses on air conditioning, with six sub-factories covering household and central systems from assembly to final production, positioning Xiaomi to bring smarter, more reliable, and potentially more affordable central air conditioning to a wider market.

Tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed that a new smartphone is on the way with a standout combination of ultra-large battery capacity and sleek design. According to his post on Weibo, the unnamed device will include a 10,000mAh battery, support 100W wired charging, and offer full-speed wireless charging, all while keeping its body thickness under 8.5mm.
The tipster did not name the brand, but several clues point to the upcoming Redmi K90 Ultra. Digital Chat Station hinted that the device will be part of a performance-focused sub-series and is expected to use a flagship MediaTek Dimensity 9-series chipset.
This marks a significant upgrade over the Redmi K90 Pro Max, which comes with a 7,560mAh battery. While earlier reports suggested that the new model might feature an 8,000mAh cell, it now appears that Xiaomi has managed to make room for an even larger 10,000mAh unit, without compromising the slim profile.
In the comment section of the post, a user asked why the phone maker did not simply increase the thickness to 9.5mm to allow for even more battery. The tipster responded by asking, “So you completely don’t care about in-hand feel?” This suggests that the manufacturer is prioritizing ergonomics while still trying to maximize endurance.
The tipster also dismissed speculation about the use of mid-range processors such as the Snapdragon 7 series or Dimensity 8000 series. He replied with a rhetorical question, “Don’t you want a top-tier processor?”, further hinting that the device will use flagship-level silicon.
As per previously leaked specs, the phone will feature a newly developed flat display, likely measuring around 6.8X inches with a 1.5K resolution and a 165Hz LTPS refresh rate. It is also expected to include a metal frame, an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor, and advanced water and dust resistance.
Xiaomi may not be the only brand chasing the big-battery trend. OnePlus is reportedly planning a 9,000mAh battery for its upcoming midrange Turbo series, signaling a broader industry shift toward endurance-focused designs paired with high refresh rate panels.

Samsung may be preparing to quietly step away from one of the most familiar corners of the consumer storage market. According to multiple industry reports, the company is planning a long-term exit from SATA SSD production from next year.
The information comes from YouTuber Moore’s Law Is Dead (MLID), who says several sources have told him that Samsung is ending its SATA SSD production entirely after fulfilling existing contracts.
At first glance, SATA SSDs might feel like older technology. Many new laptops and desktops now rely on faster NVMe storage, and high-end systems have moved to SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) systems.
SATA SSDs are still reliable and in demand in 2025
However, SATA drives are still very much in use in industry. They are a popular option for budget PCs, external storage, and upgrades for older machines. In retail channels, they continue to sell in large numbers.
And Samsung isn’t just another SSD brand; it’s one of the largest suppliers of finished consumer drives. According to MLID, Samsung-made SSDs account for a significant portion of top-selling products on major online retailers, with roughly one-fifth of those listings still using the SATA interface.
Removing that supply will not affect just one category; it could tighten availability across the entire SSD market, including NVMe drives.
The news comes at a time when memory pricing is already under strain. Samsung has reportedly raised DDR5 memory prices by as much as 60 percent recently. Meanwhile, Micron has decided to halt its consumer memory business to focus on supplying memory for high-powered AI chips.
All in all, it’s end consumers who are likely to be most affected by these changes.
For now, nothing is official. But if Samsung does pull the plug, SATA SSDs may soon become more expensive and harder to find than many expect.

There are many ways open earbuds can evolve, one of them is getting smaller and lighter. By doing that, it takes a lot of engineering and testing. So here in the review, let’s look at the HUAWEI FreeClip 2, a pair of new open earbuds that are even smaller and lighter, and have better sound quality.
Design
Not like a phone, you can immediately tell whether it’s big or small. For earbuds, most of the cases are already small enough for anybody actually. But the FreeClip 2’s case is even smaller than the last gen. The way it achieves that is by relocating the earbuds in a new way. As you can see, the earbuds are kind of forming a cross inside the case, so they take up less space. Even if the earbuds are placed that way, you can still just grab either of them by the speaker unit, then take them out, put them on your ears easily like a breeze. And don’t get it wrong, when you take one out, it does not tag the other one along. By comparison, the earbuds of last gen are like sitting there facing down, for you to take them out easily.
The other thing I have noticed is that, this little bean-shaped side is smaller than the last gen, which also contributes to the size control a lot. But don’t worry, the mellow curve is still there, they still hug your ears gently.
The overall build quality is still top-notch, the color is very refreshing, and the finish is really fine. I am glad they went with this leather texture on the case. Maybe you will not want to put another protective case on it, because it’s not easy to get scratched.
One slight pity in the colors though, there were many refreshing colors like the rose gold and purple, but this time there are the blue, white and black. For the last gen, I think they were definitely a fashionable item, but it is more minimalist this time.
Sound Quality
My first impression of sound quality is that it is very much in line with in-ears, if not better. The vocals are pretty crisp and stand out, the highs and mids are also very good. And because there is a 10.8mm powerful dual-diaphragm driver inside, it claims to cover the frequency response range: 20 Hz to 20 kHz, I can tell the bass is definitely punchier than the last gen. The other benefit of the dual driver is that the volume is much bigger, big enough that people can definitely hear you if it is too big.
And the other thing that contributes to the sound quality is the “C-bridge”. To my personal experience, the earbuds actually clip on my ears tighter, and the speaker unit is facing directly into my ear canal, so it feels like the music is playing like in-ears.
There is also a feature called Adaptive Volume. We’ve seen this in AirPods Pro, but my personal experience tells me that this feature is not to my taste. Because for in-ear type earbuds, the sound is mostly blocked anyway, and you want to focus on the music, so volume change is just awkward.
Wearing Comfort
One thing open earbuds do great is in good wearing comfort. First of all, each earbud weighs only 5.1g. I know when the number comes to this stage, it doesn’t matter. But it is indeed 0.5g lighter than the last gen. Still, you won’t feel much of its presence, since they are not in your ears.
The touch controls are in two areas, the bridge and the bean. If you are playing the music, taps on the bridge can trigger different features. But the volume control is actually in the bean; you swipe up and down to change the volume. This can be a very smart design, but be careful when you change volume; don’t swipe too hard, otherwise the earbuds will shift position, then you will have to move them a little bit.
Features
It says there is an NPU AI processor dedicated to processing, which is used for automatic volume control and adaptive voice enhancement. But these two features are still experimental, still not available for regular use. There is an option for you to enable them in the App.
Since the two earbuds are identical, you can wear them at either ear. There isn’t a difference between left and right. This is a very thoughtful feature. There are also controls initiated by head movement; you nod to accept calls, shake your head to reject calls. There are also many other features embedded in the App, even a custom listening profile. There are also wear detection and find earbuds features.
Summary
I would say the HUAWEI FreeClip 2 is truly flagship-level, from the build quality to the listening experience. You can really see the innovation in the material choices and the overall finish, and the speaker unit is also very well-made. The control features are very thoughtful. I never knew the touch control could be made in an area as thin as the C-bridge. The App experience is identical across all devices. If you are looking for a pair of good open earbuds, give these a serious consideration.
Logitech has just launched a new PC peripheral for productivity focused workloads. The brand’s new MX Master 4 is the latest mouse in the MX Master lineup that was built with versatility in mind. So here’s everything you need to know.
Logitech MX Master 4 Specifications
Just last month, Logitech released the Signature Slim Solar+ K980 wireless keyboard in the region with 10 year battery life. Now, the company has dropped the MX Master 4 with meaningful upgrades over its predecessor. While the design and form factor remain the same, there are updates that improve the overall experience. One of the biggest new inclusions is haptic feedback that adds tactile responses to action like scrolling, navigation, and selection. So users now get more physical feedback when using the mouse.
Logitech MX Master 4
This is especially helpful in tasks that involve precise control, like editing video timelines, navigating large documents, or other intense workloads. Another major focus of the brand was improved software integration. The Logitech MX Master 4 is integrated with Logi Options+ to enable the Actions Ring, an on-screen overlay, and access to customizable app specific shortcuts.
You can even assign common actions to the mouse, allowing users to navigate through menus with ease. The Logitech MX Master 4 features a new chip and an upgraded antenna design for improved connection stability. It can be paired with multiple devices and even ships with a USB-Cdongle for quick setup across laptops, desktops, and tablets. Other notable features includes an 8000 DPI sensor, MagSpeed scroll wheel, quieter clicks, and USB-C charging. On a single full charge, the MX Master 4 can last for up to 70 days. Logitech sells this productivity based mouse for Rs 15,995 in India, and it is available in Graphite and Pale Gray.

As time goes on, the rumors around Apple’s long-discussed foldable phone are starting to feel more concrete. The device is still not official, but a steady flow of leaks suggests Apple is actively testing hardware that could finally bring a foldable iPhone to market.
The latest detail focuses on something Apple hasn’t used on an iPhone in years: Touch ID.
According to well-known tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS), Apple’s wide foldable phone will skip 3D Face ID and instead rely on a side-mounted Touch ID fingerprint scanner.
Here’s why Apple is skipping Face ID on its foldable iPhone
The reason for not choosing Face ID is simple and very Apple-like.
The hardware for 3D face scanning takes up space, and Apple reportedly wants to keep the foldable as thin as possible. The company is also said to be avoiding 3D ultrasonic fingerprint technology for the same reason.
The leak further suggests Apple is putting a lot of effort into the hardware design. DCS describes its hinge as “very strong”, which is a key concern for any foldable phone.
The current engineering prototype reportedly features a large 7.58-inch foldable display with an under-display front camera, paired with a smaller 5.25-inch outer screen that uses a punch-hole camera cutout. On the back, Apple is said to be testing a 48MP dual-camera setup.
Moreover, the “wide” form factor in the leak is to point something closer to a small tablet when unfolded. The device is expected to arrive next year and could give new momentum to a foldable market that has started to feel repetitive.
Interestingly, the leak also mentions that Samsung is evaluating a similar wide foldable design. Still, DCS suggests that the first large horizontal wide foldable phone may come from a Chinese brand, not Apple or Samsung.

Xiaomi is dropping a new update for its last year’s flagship phone, bringing a bunch of optimization and fixes to the camera experience. The Xiaomi 15 is receiving the new HyperOS 3.0.5.0 update in China that polishes the brand’s latest Android custom skin. So here are all the details.
Xiaomi 15 HyperOS 3.0.5.0 Update: What’s New & What’s Fixed?
To recall, the Chinese tech giant just recently began rolling out HyperOS 3 to the Xiaomi 15 and Xiaomi 15 Ultra models in the Indian market. Now, the company is bringing another update to help address some issues faced by the Xiaomi 15 users. The update brings the HyperOS 3.0.5.0 build version that offers various optimizations. This includes dealing with bugs related to certain payment apps in China.
Xiaomi 15
But one of the biggest fixes is with the camera app experience. There were issues related to the UI, in particular, the arrows in the menu that didn’t reset based on the orientation of the phone after returning from the settings. Even some searches for applications installed on the Xiaomi 15 occasionally failed. The update from Xiaomi is a minor software upgrade, so these are incremental changes and fixes and don’t bring any major new update.
Xiaomi has quietly signed a deal to preinstall new apps (bloatware) on its smartphones. Starting in 2026, the company will begin shipping new phones with a crypto wallet and discovery app developed by Sei Labs, as part of a new global partnership focused on pushing blockchain technology to more people.
The app is tied to Sei, a Layer 1 blockchain designed specifically for digital asset trading. It will come pre-installed on all new Xiaomi phones sold outside mainland China and the United States. And that is a lot of devices.
Xiaomi is currently the world’s third-largest smartphone brand after Apple and Samsung, covering more than 13 percent global market share. In numbers, that is around 160 million devices.
The Sei app works as a crypto wallet and a gateway to Web3 services. According to Sei, users will be able to send peer-to-peer payments, interact with decentralized applications, and explore other blockchain-based products without downloading anything extra.
Sei is also planning to expand this partnership beyond smartphones. The company says it wants to enable stablecoin payments across Xiaomi’s 20,000-plus retail stores, starting with Hong Kong and parts of the European Union. This will eventually allow customers to buy Xiaomi products using stablecoins like USDC, with transactions settled on the Sei blockchain.
It’s just another bloatware
In a press release shared with CoinDesk, Sei says the deal could introduce crypto to millions of people, especially in markets where Xiaomi has a dominating presence.
For instance, the company holds 36.9 percent of the smartphone market in Greece, and around 24 percent in India.
However, for users, this is just another bloatware.
Preinstalled apps have long been a sore point for Xiaomi phones. The situation was particularly bad a few years ago, as the phones came loaded with apps most people never asked for.
Xiaomi has since tried to be more transparent and has made some improvements, but this partnership feels like a step backward. Installing crypto apps by default that most users are not aware of or won’t use is not right.

Oppo has effectively confirmed the Find X9 Ultra. Zhou Yibao, who heads Oppo’s Find series products, responded directly to a user online asking him to “quickly reveal” the Find X9 Ultra. His reply was short—just two words—but clear: “Unprecedentedly powerful” (translated from Chinese). While he didn’t share any specs, the comment confirms the device is in development.
The tease lines up with recent reports about Oppo’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5–powered phone, which is widely believed to be the Find X9 Ultra. According to IT Home, the device is expected to feature a heavily upgraded camera system, led by a 200MP main sensor (around 1/1.12″ in size). The setup reportedly also includes a 50MP ultra-wide camera, a 200MP periscope mid-telephoto lens, a 50MP periscope super telephoto lens, and a multispectral sensor, pointing to a strong focus on high-end photography.
In other words, the Find X9 Ultra is upgrading both the main camera and the mid-telephoto lens from 50MP to 200MP. The new 3x telephoto sensor is seemingly getting a size bump too, increasing to 1/1.3″ from the 1/1.56″ sensor used on the Find X8 Ultra. The main sensor, however, appears to be slightly smaller this time, dropping to around 1/1.2″ compared to the 1″ sensor on its predecessor.
Earlier leaks from October described a high-end engineering sample that many believe matches the Find X9 Ultra. Those reports mentioned a large 2K flat display with 2.5D glass, a battery rated above 7,000mAh, and support for up to 100W wired and 50W wireless charging. Other rumored features included an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, IP68/IP69 water and dust resistance, and a large vibration motor.
Oppo hasn’t officially confirmed any of these specifications yet, but combined with Zhou Yibao’s comment, the picture is becoming clearer.
More details are expected to surface in the coming weeks as Oppo moves closer to an official launch.
