Google’s newest AI model, Gemini 3 Pro, has been getting plenty of praise for its raw capability — but a recent report out of South Korea is now questioning whether its safety has kept pace. According to local outlet Maeil Business Newspaper, a Seoul-based AI security company says it managed to jailbreak the system and get responses on topics that should be completely off-limits.
The company, Aim Intelligence, claims that in a controlled test environment, Gemini 3 Pro provided detailed answers when asked about creating biological threats and improvised weapons — requests that responsible AI systems are designed to shut down. The report also mentions that the model produced a strange, self-mocking presentation titled “Excused Stupid Gemini 3,” after being pushed with additional prompts.
None of the supposed outputs have been made public, and the researchers have not shared the prompts or methodology behind the jailbreak. Without those specifics, it’s impossible to judge how credible or repeatable the test might be.
Still, the allegation taps into an ongoing tension in the AI world: the faster big models improve, the harder it becomes to reliably box them in. Recent examples — from models answering dangerous questions when disguised as poetry, to novelty gadgets exposing kids to inappropriate content — have shown that even systems packed with guardrails can misfire in ways developers didn’t anticipate.
Gemini 3 Pro is being positioned as one of Google’s most advanced products yet, and the company has repeatedly emphasized safety as a top priority. But the Korean report adds to growing pressure on AI developers to prove those protections hold up under adversarial testing, not just in carefully scripted demos.
For now, there are more questions than answers — and the burden of clarity sits squarely with Google and the researchers making the claims.

Jmgo has launched the O3 in the Chinese market, a new tricolor laser ultra-short-throw projector designed for compact living spaces. The projector is priced at 3,749 yuan ($530) and is now available on JD.com.
Jmgo O3 Projector Specifications
The projector supports a native 1080p resolution and delivers 1400 ISO lumens of brightness using Jmgo’s pure tricolor laser light source and a DLPC8424 driver chip. It uses an ultra-short-throw optical system with a 0.18:1 throw ratio, allowing it to project a 100-inch image from just 22 centimeters away from the wall.
The O3 covers 110% of the BT.2020 color gamut. It achieves a Delta E value of less than 1 for color accuracy. The image quality is enhanced by a 10,000:1 contrast ratio, MEMC motion compensation, and AI dynamic black levels. Jmgo has included features such as automatic focus, keystone correction, screen alignment, and wall color calibration for easier setup.
The projector supports screen sizes from 60 to 120 inches. It targets casual and gaming use with VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) support and dedicated game modes. Jmgo has equipped the O3 with HDMI 2.1 ports, including one with eARC, along with USB 2.0, DC input, Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth for stable connectivity.
The audio setup includes two 10W symmetrical speakers with support for Dolby Audio and DTS decoding. The system is tuned for stronger low-frequency output and can reach down to 40Hz. The projector also enables a dynamic lyric wall feature when paired with Kugou Music.

DJI looks ready to give its tiny handheld camera a meaningful jump in versatility. New leaks hint that the upcoming Osmo Pocket 4 will get a dual-sensor setup, better battery life, and a few design tweaks that could make it an even stronger option for both vloggers and action shooters.
The latest details come from Photorabz, who claim the Pocket 4 will pack two different image sensors, which would be a first for the lineup. The star of the show is said to be a 1-inch, 50 MP main sensor with a variable aperture, seemingly the same one used in the recent Osmo Action 6.
Backing it up is a 1/1.3-inch secondary sensor that reportedly has a more square aspect ratio. That could give creators a cleaner workflow when shooting vertical clips for Instagram Reels or TikTok. The combo suggests DJI is aiming to serve both cinematic footage and quick social-first content without forcing users to pick one lane. For context, the Pocket 3 packs a single 1-inch sensor.
A previous leak also sparked chatter about a dual-display design. But Photorabz has poured some cold water on that excitement, saying the new panel spotted in renders isn’t for framing shots at all. Instead, it may simply show status info or camera settings. Not flashy, but possibly useful.
Battery life is another area that looks set for improvement. The Pocket 4 is rumored to record around 20% longer than the Pocket 3. The exact capacity bump isn’t clear yet, though the new hardware likely demands more power. Still, the overall footprint is said to stay just as small, which is key for a pocket-friendly gimbal camera.
The launch window remains December, but availability could get complicated. DJI is staring down a US FCC ban starting December 23, 2025, which could disrupt distribution plans and push some markets into next year.
If these leaks hold up, the Osmo Pocket 4 will be a confident refinement that keeps the line relevant in a world obsessed with vertical video and portability.

The era of dual-fold phones is finally here, and the competition is heating up. Samsung has just made the Galaxy Z TriFold official, and it goes head-to-head with Huawei’s Mate XTs Ultimate Design, the successor to the world’s first commercially available tri-fold phone.
Both devices push the envelope of what’s possible in foldable hardware, but they take drastically different approaches in form factor, display engineering, software, and overall user philosophy.
Folding Philosophy: Inward vs Outward
The most fundamental difference between the two lies in how they fold. The Galaxy Z TriFold folds inward, protecting its expansive 10.0-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display within a dual-hinge design. When shut, it presents a familiar 6.5-inch cover screen that mirrors modern smartphones. This approach offers greater protection for the main display, especially in high-dust or abrasive environments.
Huawei, on the other hand, embraces an outward-folding Z-shaped form in the Mate XTs. The display wraps around the body, allowing the device to switch between a 6.4-inch smartphone mode, a 7.9-inch intermediate mode, and a fully expanded 10.2-inch tablet. It’s more versatile on paper, but with one clear trade-off: the primary screen is always partially exposed, which could raise durability concerns in the long run.
Display Technologies and Stylus Input
Both foldables stretch out to around 10 inches when fully opened, but Samsung wins on refresh rate. Its 10-inch QXGA+ panel offers a 120Hz adaptive refresh and 1600 nits of brightness, backed by a 6.5-inch 2600-nit cover screen. Huawei counters with a slightly larger 10.2-inch OLED display featuring a 3K resolution and 90Hz LTPO refresh. The company also integrates M-Pen 3 stylus support, which is absent on Samsung’s TriFold, despite its tablet-like ambitions.
This gives Huawei an edge for creative users and productivity tasks, especially when paired with its advanced hinge design that allows multi-angle usage. Still, Samsung’s panel is brighter and smoother, offering a more premium viewing experience overall.
Build Quality and Materials
Both devices are engineering marvels, but their build philosophies differ as well. Samsung uses Armor Aluminum with a titanium hinge and Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 on the front, offering a relatively slim 12.9mm folded profile and IP48 water resistance. Huawei goes heavier on materials science, claiming aerospace-grade steel with 2400MPa strength, an eight-layer hinge buffer structure, and a hinge system that allows 0.1° precision.
Despite the Mate XTs sounding like a tank, it manages to stay lighter at 298g compared to Samsung’s 309g. Huawei also boasts a thinner unfolded profile at just 3.6mm at its slimmest point, besting the TriFold’s 3.9mm.
Performance, Battery, and Charging
Samsung relies on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy (3nm), paired with 16GB RAM and up to 1TB storage. Huawei opts for its own Kirin 9020 chip, which it claims improves performance by 36% over its predecessor. Both phones pack 5600mAh batteries, but Huawei wins decisively on charging: 66W wired, 50W wireless, and 7.5W reverse. Samsung lags with 45W wired and 15W wireless charging.
Camera Capabilities
Samsung arms its Z TriFold with a 200MP main sensor, a 12MP ultra-wide, and a 10MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. It also includes two 10MP selfie cameras, one on the cover and one inside.
Huawei opts for flexibility over raw pixel count: a 50MP main camera with variable aperture, a 40MP ultra-wide with macro capabilities, a 12MP 5.5x periscope telephoto lens, and a 1.5MP multispectral sensor for color fidelity. There’s also an 8MP front camera.
Both devices boast powerful cameras, but Samsung’s advanced AI processing and reliable image tuning give it an edge. Huawei’s setup is versatile, yet Samsung may deliver better real-world results.
Software and Desktop Experience
Samsung ships the TriFold with Android 16 and One UI 8, ensuring full Google services and app compatibility. Huawei, still under U.S. sanctions, ships the Mate XTs with HarmonyOS 5.1, which lacks native Google app support outside China.
On the productivity side, Samsung’s DeX mode works natively on the device’s 10-inch display, letting it double as a mini-desktop without an external monitor. Huawei’s desktop mode requires projection onto an external display, making Samsung’s solution more seamless for multitasking.
Verdict: Samsung Has the Edge
The Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold feels more complete and practical for global users. Its inward-folding design protects the display, while the bright 120Hz screen, Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, and full Android 16 with DeX support make it a powerful and polished foldable.
Huawei’s Mate XTs is bold with stylus support and faster charging, but its outward-fold design and HarmonyOS limitations hold it back. For most, the Galaxy Z TriFold is the smarter choice.

A new set of details has surfaced about Motorola’s next flagship, with a reliable source sharing what appears to be an early look at the Motorola Edge 70 Ultra. This will be the successor to the Edge 50 Ultra from 2024 as there was no Edge 60 Ultra this year. Here’s a look the first look at the company’s next-generation non-foldable flagship phone.
First look at the Motorola Edge 70 Ultra
Motorola Edge 70 Ultra leaked renders
The images shared by AndroidHeadlines show the Motorola Edge 70 Ultra in two colors with a textured finish on the back panel, giving it a distinct appearance compared to the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra from 2024.
The materials appear different from the eco leather used on the earlier model, and the new pattern resembles finishes seen on other recently released performance-focused phones. The camera island is positioned in the upper-left corner with three lenses, and the layout suggests main, ultrawide, and periscope telephoto roles.
The frame is expected to be metal, and the right side houses the volume and power buttons, while the left side contains a dedicated key that may serve AI-related functions.
Motorola Edge 70 Ultra specifications (rumored)
The front of the device has not been revealed, but the expectation is a centred camera hole with slim bezels and possibly a flat OLED display. A large screen measuring roughly 6.7 to 6.8 inches is expected, accompanied by a high refresh rate.
Early information points to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 powering the phone, a step below the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 that will appear in higher-tier flagships. Geekbench results show single-core and multi-core scores of 2,636 and 7,475, paired with a 16GB RAM configuration. It will come preloaded with Hello UX-based Android 16.
Camera details remain limited, although a periscope telephoto unit is likely, along with improved primary and ultrawide sensors. Battery and charging information have yet to surface, but the Edge 70 Ultra is positioned as a capable premium option with performance tuned slightly below the company’s future Elite-level devices.
Likely, the device will be rebranded as the Moto X70 Ultra in China. At present, there’s no word on the launch timeframe of both phones, but they may go official in the first quarter of 2026.

Xiaomi’s Mijia lineup is no stranger to sleek, affordable home tech, and its latest release continues that tradition. The company has launched the new Mijia Lightweight Vacuum Cleaner, priced at just 359 yuan (~$50). The product will go on sale starting December 8 on JD.com.
Mijia Lightweight Vacuum Cleaner Specifications
The upright vacuum uses a 110,000rpm high-speed motor that produces up to 22,000Pa and 50AW of suction power, strong enough to lift dust, crumbs, and hair from hard floors and narrow corners.
Xiaomi has focused on everyday practicality here. The main unit weighs only 860 grams, which is lighter than two 550ml water bottles, so it feels easy to push, pull, or lift during routine cleaning.
Xiaomi has equipped the vacuum with two cleaning heads. One is a slim floor brush that can glide under furniture while maintaining stable suction and preventing hair tangling.
The other is a 2-in-1 crevice tool designed for cleaning gaps, upholstery seams, keyboards, and car interiors. The cleaning wand detaches quickly for easy switching between modes and compact storage.
The vacuum runs for up to 40 minutes on its standard mode, powered by four 2000mAh lithium-ion cells. It also supports a high-power mode for deeper cleaning, which provides up to 10 minutes of runtime.
The device uses a Type-C charging port, allowing it to charge with common USB-C adapters. Xiaomi recommends placing the main unit flat during charging for safety.
The filtration system uses a five-layer setup that includes a high-speed cyclone chamber, micro-mesh steel filter, front sponge filter, HEPA element, and motor protection pad.
Xiaomi claims the system can trap 99.9% of fine particles as small as 0.3 microns, helping to reduce secondary pollution. The 200ml transparent dust bin and filter components are washable and should be air-dried for 24 hours before reuse.
The vacuum includes a simple control layout with one-touch buttons to power the device and switch modes. Xiaomi uses an ergonomic oval handle to improve grip and reduce hand fatigue during long cleaning sessions.

On paper, the OnePlus 13R looks like a tempting mid-range flagship smartphone. It brings a big battery, a great display, capable performance, and a relatively affordable price tag. Many buyers are tempted to pick this device up. But if you’re thinking of buying it, it’s worth understanding these points that might change your mind.
The OnePlus 15R is on the way
One of the big reasons you might want to skip buying the OnePlus 13R is that its successor is on the way. The Chinese brand is planning on releasing the OnePlus 15R in the global market on 17th December 2025, bringing high end specs and features. This model is expected to bring notable upgrades all across the board.
OnePlus 15R
Based on the recent teasers, leaks, and reports, the OnePlus 15R will get a massive 8,300mAh battery pack with 100W wired fast charging. The device is set to pack Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, bringing high end performance and a smooth gaming experience. Taking advantage of this horsepower is the tall 165Hz display, which even matches the flagship OnePlus 15. So if gaming is a focus, the next gen model might fit you the best.
Lacklustre Cameras
The camera setup on the 13R is a clear example of “good on paper, inconsistent in reality.” The primary 50MP main sensor and 50MP 2× telephoto lens deliver decent daylight photos, and shots can look sharp and detailed under ideal conditions. However, the 8MP ultra wide angle lens struggles significantly in low light conditions.
OnePlus 13R’s Cameras
While the main camera is much larger, it can’t match actual premium phones or devices with larger sensors. Similarly, even the telephoto shooter disappoints with a mere 2x optical zoom, which leaves more to be desired here. If photography is an important aspect when buying a phone, you might want to skip this one.
Bunch of missing features
A high end IP rating is basically the norm now for most smartphones. Mid range and above are now expected to offer at least an IP68 or an IP68 + IP69 rating for improved protection against the elements. But the OnePlus 13R only came with a weaker IP65 rating. Even the upcoming OnePlus 15R is expected to offer an IP68 + IP69 rating, which offers better water resistance.
OnePlus 13R
For security, the OnePlus 13R shipped with an in-display optical fingerprint scanner. However, the newer phones in its class are getting an ultrasonic sensor, including the 15R. If wireless charging is a feature you often use, the OnePlus 13R skips the hardware entirely.
