The new renders show the Galaxy S26+ with a refined flat design, measuring 158.4 x 75.7 x 7.35mm. This makes it nearly identical in size to the Galaxy S25+, with only minor variations in width and thickness.

The phone is said to retain a 6.7-inch AMOLED screen featuring FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. On the rear, Samsung has adopted an elongated, oval-shaped camera module inspired by the Galaxy Z Fold 7, housing three sensors in a vertical alignment. The LED flash sits outside the module, enhancing the minimalistic appearance.

Notably, the renders showcase the device in a striking orange finish, suggesting Samsung might introduce more vibrant colour options this time.

According to reports, the Galaxy S26+ may feature either the Exynos 2600 or the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, depending on the market. The device is expected to come with 12GB RAM and a 4,900mAh battery supporting 45W wired and wireless charging.

On the camera front, it could include a 50-megapixel primary sensor, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 12-megapixel telephoto camera, along with a 12-megapixel front shooter. The phone is expected to run on One UI 8.5 based on Android 16.

Recent leaks suggest that Samsung might unveil the Galaxy S26 series at its Unpacked event in February 2026, followed by a global release shortly after.

Nov 11, 2025

Xiaomi might be working on a new high end truly wireless earbuds. The Xiaomi Buds 6 just surfaced on a fresh certification that suggests that its global release is right around the corner. The new earbuds are expected to serve as the brand’s premium TWS offering, so here’s what we know so far.

Xiaomi Buds 6 Certified in UAE, Hinting at Imminent Global Launch

The Chinese tech giant’s upcoming Xiaomi Buds 6 TWS was just spotted getting certified on the TDRA certification. It was spotted on the database carrying the M2540E1 model number. While the listing does not reveal finer details like its specifications, features, design, or pricing and release details, it does confirm that it is a wireless hearables that pairs via Bluetooth connection and that the earbuds will likely debut soon.

As the name suggests, the Xiaomi Buds 6 is a successor to the Xiaomi Buds 5 series. To recall, the Xiaomi Buds 5 debuted globally back in September 2024, while the Xiaomi Buds 5 Pro launched in February 2025. So we can expect high end specs and features like ANC (Active Noise Cancellation), Spatial Audio support, aptX lossless codecs, and much more.

ZTE Blade V80 Vita looks strikingly similar to iPhone 17 Pro in leaked render

By

Debasish

-

Nov 11, 2025

ZTE’s next budget phone might look strangely familiar. Newly leaked renders of the Blade V80 Vita suggest the company has taken some clear inspiration from Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro models.

The render comes from Evan Blass (@evleaks), and the resemblance is hard to miss. The Blade V80 Vita uses a full-width camera island with three cameras and an LED flash pushed to the far-right side, almost exactly where Apple is placing the component on the 17 Pro Max. Since this is already plenty of camera hardware for a budget phone, a circular Neo branding occupies the spot where the LiDAR scanner sits on the latest Pro iPhones.

The frame sticks to a familiar flat-edged look, but ZTE adds its own touches: a red power button, a dedicated custom key on the left, and that very un-Apple 3.5 mm port next to the USB-C slot. It’s a mix of trendy and practical — something you don’t see often, even in the affordable Android space.

Of course, the edges are completely flat — unlike the slightly rounded sides on the iPhones — but that’s possible thanks to the aluminum unibody design of Apple’s flagships.

Specs haven’t surfaced yet, but the Blade line has always aimed at the budget crowd. The Blade V70 Design shipped with modest hardware, so it’s safe to expect the V80 Vita to follow suit: an entry-level chipset, a reasonable battery, and pricing that keeps expectations in check. This isn’t a flagship; it’s a style play.

Still, it’s interesting to see which design cues are trickling down into affordable phones. The iPhone 17 Pro’s wide camera bar is shaping up to be one of the more recognizable silhouettes of 2025, and ZTE seems eager to get ahead of the trend.

If nothing else, the Blade V80 Vita offers premium looks without the premium price — plus a convenience Apple no longer offers.

How is Huawei Mate 70 Air different from iPhone Air and Galaxy S25 Edge?

By

Rajesh Regmi

-

Nov 11, 2025

Every major smartphone brand seems to be chasing thinness again. After years of packing phones with giant batteries and bigger camera bumps, 2025 has brought a new wave of slim devices.

Huawei’s entry into this space, the Mate 70 Air, is perhaps the most interesting of all. The company didn’t pursue extreme thinness at the expense of key features. Instead, it chose to make the device slim—yes—but still retain the essentials you’d expect from a premium 2025 phone.

Huawei Mate 70 Air vs iPhone Air vs Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge

Apple and Samsung, however, seem to be taking the opposite approach. There are noticeable compromises made in pursuit of slimmer designs. Here’s how the three phones compare, and how the Huawei Mate 70 Air differs from the iPhone Air and Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge.

Prev Next

1. Size and design

The Mate 70 Air is noticeably larger than both of its rivals. It measures 165 × 81.5 × 6.6 mm and weighs 208 g. While Huawei is chasing the ultra-light smartphone trend, it’s also being thoughtful about the features we’d expect from a 2025 phone. More on that later.

The iPhone Air leans the opposite way. It’s all about being thin. At just 5.6 mm thick and 165 g, it’s the slimmest and lightest of the three.

The Galaxy S25 Edge sits in the middle. It measures 158.2 x 75.6 x 5.8 mm and weighs 163 g. It’s almost as thin as the iPhone Air but packs a slightly larger footprint.

All three phones are well built. Huawei doesn’t mention exotic materials but does bring IP68/IP69 durability, which allows survival against high-pressure water streams. Apple also offers IP68, though with deeper submersion ratings (up to 6 m). Samsung matches Huawei with IP68, but only up to 1.5 m. Huawei is the most rugged on paper.

2. Displays

The differences continue in the screen department.

Huawei makes the Mate 70 Air feel almost tablet-adjacent with a 7.0-inch LTPO OLED panel. It refreshes at 120Hz, peaks at 4000 nits, and is protected by Kunlun Glass.

Apple keeps it calmer with a 6.5-inch LTPO Super Retina XDR OLED display. It’s sharp at 1260 × 2736, and it offers features like HDR10, Dolby Vision, and a 120Hz refresh rate. Peak brightness reaches 3000 nits, making it excellent outdoors, though it dims slightly versus Huawei in numbers.

Samsung pushes clarity harder. The Galaxy S25 Edge screen is 6.7 inches, running at 1440 × 3120 for the highest pixel density of the three. It’s also LTPO and 120Hz with HDR10+ support.

All are great screens, but Huawei’s size stands out the most.

3. Software and ecosystem

The Mate 70 Air runs HarmonyOS 5.1. That’s an entirely different world from iOS and Android. It offers a familiar layout, but app availability and restrictions vary depending on your region. The phone also has satellite messaging support.

The iPhone Air doesn’t surprise. It ships with iOS 26, and Apple promises long-term support, clean UI, and tight hardware-software integration. It works seamlessly with other Apple products.

Samsung goes with Android 15, One UI 7, and promises 7 major OS upgrades. That’s longer than most Android phones typically receive and helps it match Apple’s longevity promise.

If you’re already inside a particular ecosystem, none of these phones gives you a reason to switch. Huawei’s software feels the most different; Apple’s is the most familiar; Samsung’s is the most flexible.

4. Performance

This is where the biggest differences emerge.

Huawei uses its 7nm Kirin 9020 chips (9020A or 9020B). Performance should be fine for everyday tasks, but they can’t match the raw compute power of Apple’s 3nm A19 Pro or Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite in Samsung’s phone.

Apple’s A19 Pro sits near the top of mobile performance, especially in power efficiency. Samsung’s Snapdragon 8 Elite pushes high clock speeds and serious GPU strength, especially for gaming and editing.

So if you care about graphics or future-proof performance:
• Apple and Samsung are the clear leaders
• Huawei focuses more on efficiency and battery life

All three months offer similar memory configurations.

5. Cameras

Camera hardware is another area where these phones diverge.

Huawei puts three lenses on the back:
• 50MP main with OIS
• 12MP telephoto with 3× zoom
• 8MP ultrawide

It’s a balanced setup, with dedicated optical zoom and laser autofocus. It also supports 4K video and HDR.

The iPhone Air sticks to a single 48MP main camera. Apple is banking on computational photography, not lens count. It will likely deliver good consistency, but there’s no dedicated telephoto lens here, so lossless zoom is limited.

Samsung offers a dual-camera setup:
• 200MP main
• 12MP ultrawide

The 200MP camera is the number that sells headlines, but the lack of a telephoto lens stands out. Samsung supports 4K and even 8K recording, which Huawei and Apple don’t match at the same frame rate.

It’s without a doubt that Huawei has better cameras overall with a dedicated lens for ultrawide and telephoto. This is where the company’s decision to avoid aggressively chasing the ultra-slim trend becomes clear. You’re getting an almost flagship-level camera setup.

6. Selfies

Moreover, Huawei’s selfie camera is a modest 10.7MP unit with 4K support.

Apple goes bigger with 18MP plus a 3D depth system (SL 3D), which makes Face ID possible and can improve portrait accuracy. It also records Dolby Vision HDR.

Samsung stays simple at 12MP, but with PDAF for sharper focusing.

7. Battery and charging

This is one category that Huawei dominates. Because of its bigger size, the Mate 70 Air has a massive 6500mAh battery. Charging goes up to 66W wired.

Comparatively:
• iPhone Air: 3149mAh, wired fast charge and MagSafe
• Samsung S25 Edge: 3900mAh, 25W wired

This might be the biggest practical difference. Huawei claims all-day endurance, while Apple and Samsung feel almost midrange on battery capacity, though software optimization may help them compete.

But if you want raw capacity, there’s no competition.

8. Extras

Two small notes:

• Huawei supports a stylus, something neither competitor offers here.
• Samsung includes DeX desktop mode, which lets you use the phone like a computer.
• Apple has satellite emergency features globally; Huawei’s satellite messaging is China-only.

These might not sway buyers, but they define the phones’ different priorities.

9. Final thoughts

The Huawei Mate 70 Air, iPhone Air, and Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge sit in a similar price tier, but they don’t do the same job.

Huawei prioritizes big screens, long battery life, and triple cameras. Apple keeps things minimal, polished, and thin, leaning on software and ecosystem comfort. Samsung takes the middle road with a sharp display, high performance, and future-proof Android support.

So if you’re trying to choose between size, battery, and a versatile camera in a slim form, go with Huawei. The iPhone Air is best for you if you’re already in the Apple ecosystem and need an absolutely slim smartphone.

Samsung is the most versatile of the three with Android baked in, flagship performance, and dual cameras.

Nov 11, 2025

Motorola is reportedly working on an X-series flagship phone for China. While the official moniker of the device is not known, it could be called the Moto X70 Ultra in the Chinese market. This phone may get rebranded as the Motorola Edge 70 Ultra globally. The said device meant for the Chinese market has surfaced on Geekbench, revealing key details about its internals.

Moto X70 Ultra Geekbench listing

As per the Geekbench listing, an upcoming Motorola phone with model number XT2603-1 has emerged in Geekbench’s database. The listing reveals that it is powered by a Qualcomm chip that comprises six cores operating at 3.32GHz and two performance cores clocked at 3.65GHz. For graphics, it is equipped with the Adreno 829 GPU.

There is a possibility that the above chipset could be the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 5. However, readers should note that the above specs are a bit different from a recent leak that claimed that its two cores operate at 3.65GHz and that it has the Adreno 840 GPU for graphics.

A recent report claimed that Motorola is gearing up to launch the X70 Ultra (China) / Edge 70 Ultra (global) equipped with the said chipset. The above device with the XT2603-1 model number — here, the number “1” denotes the Chinese variant — may carry the Moto X70 Ultra branding in China.

The Geekbench listing further reveals that the Moto X70 Ultra has 16GB of RAM and Android 16. It has scored 2,634 in the single-core test and 7,475 points in the multi-core test.

Motorola Edge 70 Ultra specifications (rumored)

The Moto X70 Ultra / Edge 70 Ultra is expected to feature an OLED panel that supports a 1.5K resolution. Its rear camera setup is expected to feature a periscope telephoto camera. The rest of its specifications are under wraps.

Considering that the Moto X70 Ultra has already appeared on Geekbench and is possibly being tested internally for performance, its arrival may not be far away. Likely, it may debut before the end of this year in China. Its global sibling, the Edge 70 Ultra, may debut in the first half of 2026 globally.

Motorola did not release the Moto X60 Ultra / Edge 60 Ultra. Therefore, the X70 Ultra / Edge 70 Ultra will be the successors to last year’s X50 Ultra / Edge 50 Ultra.

Samsung introduces LPDDR6 RAM: faster, more efficient, more secure — and likely headed to future flagships

By

Debasish

-

Nov 11, 2025

Samsung has quietly kicked off the 2026 hardware season with its new LPDDR6 RAM, and it’s already picked up a “2026 Innovation Award Honoree” badge.

The chip is built on Samsung Foundry’s 12 nm process and reaches speeds of up to 10.7 Gbps. On paper, that matches the peak throughput of today’s fastest LPDDR5X modules, but LPDDR6 isn’t all about raw speed. Samsung increased the I/O count, which boosts overall bandwidth, and added a new dynamic power management system that reportedly cuts power draw by roughly 21% compared to LPDDR5X. In short: similar top-end performance, noticeably better efficiency.

Samsung is also talking up improvements on the security side, with extra protections designed to keep data safe during on-device AI processing — something phones and laptops are relying on more each year.

And that’s really the point here. High-end mobile devices are turning into edge computing machines, running larger models locally instead of depending on the cloud. LPDDR6 could support that shift with faster loading for AI models, and more reliable multitasking under heavy workloads.

The efficiency gains are especially important. A 21% drop in power usage means phones can handle longer, more demanding AI sessions without killing the battery as quickly.

LPDDR6 isn’t the flashiest announcement, but it’s a foundational one. It sets the stage for the next generation of mobile performance.

It’s unclear whether upcoming Ultra flagships already on the horizon — such as Oppo’s Find X9 Ultra, Xiaomi’s 17 Ultra, Vivo’s X300 Ultra, or Samsung’s own S26 Ultra — are being tested with this new LPDDR6 technology. But some of their successors will likely adopt the faster RAM to help differentiate themselves and push the user experience even further.

Fiio has launched the JT3, a new pair of open-back wired headphones priced at $69.99. The silver version is available through the Fiio store on AliExpress.

The JT3 uses an open-back design that helps reduce heat, moisture, and pressure buildup while creating a wider and more open soundstage. Inside, it features large 50mm dynamic drivers that deliver detailed sound with strong bass and clear highs.

The drivers use a PEK and PU composite diaphragm that combines stiffness and flexibility. This design keeps the headphones lightweight while reducing distortion. A built-in brass damping ring helps control unwanted vibrations, allowing the JT3 to reproduce every detail in the music more accurately.

For power and performance, the JT3 uses a lightweight TIL former and a CCAW voice coil. The TIL material offers high strength and heat resistance, preventing deformation, while the CCAW coil improves sensitivity and efficiency. High-performance N52 magnets provide strong output and fast response, boosting overall clarity and depth.

The outer shell is made of aluminum-magnesium alloy with a perforated grille that enhances airflow and reduces pressure inside the earcups. The drivers are angled to match the ear’s shape, which improves comfort and sound direction.

The velvet earpads are soft, detachable, and washable, with memory foam inside for a comfortable fit. The dense velvet fabric is durable and resists wrinkles even with regular use. The JT3 weighs 330 grams and has a sturdy stainless steel and zinc alloy headband with ball-bearing sliders for easy adjustment.

The cable is made from palladium-plated oxygen-free copper and connects through dual 3.5mm TRS plugs with color indicators for left and right. It includes an in-line microphone and controls for calls and playback, as well as a 3.5mm to 6.3mm adapter for wider compatibility.

Xiaomi’s first NAS leak reveals 2.5/3.5-inch SATA drive support, may debut with Xiaomi 17 Ultra

Nov 10, 2025

Earlier this year, reports surfaced that Xiaomi was working on its first NAS product, marking a new direction for the company. Interestingly, the idea wasn’t part of Xiaomi’s original roadmap. It reportedly began when a marketing image for one of the brand’s 10G routers unintentionally resembled a NAS setup. The visual sparked widespread speculation and community feedback, eventually convincing Xiaomi to explore the concept seriously.

Fast forward to now, the product appears close to launch if recent leaks are to be believed. Tipster Smart Pikachu on Weibo claims that the Xiaomi NAS will support both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch SATA hard drives. It is said to be compatible with Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, and Linux TV systems, and is designed for simple household use, similar to Huawei’s approach. Its launch timeline reportedly aligns with the Xiaomi 17 Ultra.

There are also some leaked images circulating on Weibo. One image shows the actual device from the side, though it doesn’t reveal much about the design. Another appears to be the spec sheet printed on the product’s packaging, listing details such as dimensions of 200.5 × 85 × 16 mm along with USB 3.0, HDMI, and a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port.

Xiaomi Ecosystem General Manager Chen Bo previously outlined the company’s vision for the device. He described it as a smart storage hub for Mi Home ecosystem users. It will connect seamlessly with Xiaomi phones, TVs, tablets, and PCs, enabling mobile storage expansion, AI-powered photo album organization, movie scraping for poster-wall-style libraries, cloud access, and remote downloads.

Xiaomi reportedly completed mass production and internal testing in early October 2025. Chen Bo confirmed that the product will go public before the end of 2025. Unlike enthusiast-grade NAS systems, Xiaomi’s model aims to deliver a plug-and-play experience for everyday users. The company also plans to enhance compatibility with Apple devices and promote NAS adoption by deepening its integration with its broader smart ecosystem.

Nov 10, 2025

Xiaomi is preparing the next Poco lineup, with the Poco F8 Pro and Poco F8 Ultra expected to launch globally by late 2025 or early 2026. Both smartphones are said to be global versions of the Redmi K90 series, but leaks suggest Xiaomi will limit configurations and reduce battery capacity compared to the Chinese models.

The Poco F8 Ultra is expected to be based on the Redmi K90 Pro Max. According to leaker Paras Guglani, it will come with a smaller 6,500 mAh battery and fewer variants. The phone is likely to launch in two configurations: 12 GB RAM with 256 GB storage and 16 GB RAM with 512 GB storage. The 1 TB option available in China will not be released globally. Xiaomi is also said to reduce the color choices to Black and Denim Blue, while the Redmi K90 Pro Max offers more finishes.

The Poco F8 Pro will follow the Redmi K90’s design but with similar limitations. It is expected to come only in 12 GB RAM variants paired with either 256 GB or 512 GB storage. The base 8 GB variant seen in the Poco F6 series will not return. Reports indicate that the Poco F8 Pro may also skip the 7,100 mAh battery used in the Redmi K90, possibly in favor of a slimmer profile. Expected color options include Black, Blue, and Titanium Silver.

Certification listings have already confirmed that the Poco F8 Pro is approaching its launch. The device has been spotted in the TDRA database in the UAE under model number 2510DPC44G, as well as in Singapore and Thailand. It is expected to feature a Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, a flagship-grade AMOLED display, and Bose-tuned audio.
