Motorola is set to launch the Moto Buds 2 in India on May 19, alongside the Moto G37 and Moto G37 Power. Following the Moto Buds 2 Plus, these earbuds come with a long list of audio, battery, and noise-cancelling features. The Moto Buds 2 made their global debut in March.
Moto Buds 2 features
The Moto Buds 2 use an 11mm dynamic driver and a 6mm micro planar magnetic driver. They also support LHDC, or Low-Latency High-Definition Audio Codec, for higher-quality Bluetooth audio on supported devices. Spatial Audio is included too, with a 360-degree sound effect for supported content.
Motorola is also adding dynamic active noise cancellation of up to 55dB. The feature adjusts noise blocking based on the surroundings. Smart Transparency Mode is included to let outside sound in when needed.
For calls, the earbuds use a six-mic setup with Environmental Noise Cancellation and high signal-to-noise ratio support. This is meant to improve voice clarity in noisy or windy places. The earbuds also include a low-latency gaming mode for gaming and video playback.
Battery life details are slightly different across the shared information. The detailed spec sheet lists up to 11 hours of playback on a single charge and up to 48 hours with the case. The launch data mentions up to 10 hours per charge and up to 53 hours in total. Fast charging is confirmed, with 10 minutes of charging giving up to 3 hours of playback.
The Moto Buds 2 support Bluetooth 6.0 and dual connection, so users can move between two devices. Other features include wear detection, user-adjustable controls, customizable EQ with Bass Boost, Ring My Buds, voice assistant trigger, Audio Share, and moto ai support. The earbuds have an IP54 rating for dust and splash resistance. Each earbud has a 62mAh battery, while the case has a 520mAh battery.
Expected pricing
In the UK, the Moto Buds 2 are priced at £70, which converts to roughly Rs. 9,000. However, the Moto Buds 2 Plus are priced at Rs. 5,999 in India, so the regular Buds 2 should launch at a lower price.

Xiaomi President Lu Weibing has revealed that the company was much closer than expected to releasing an ultra-thin smartphone similar to Apple’s iPhone Air. Speaking during an ongoing livestream, Lu said Xiaomi had already completed planning, early research, and was even nearing mass production before the company decided to cancel the project at the last minute.
According to Lu, the decision came down to user experience. Xiaomi found that creating an extremely thin and lightweight phone required too many compromises in areas like battery life and performance. While the design looked appealing, the company felt the final product would not meet the standard experience Xiaomi wanted to deliver to users.
XIaomi 17 Air Rumored Design
Lu explained that the thinner the device becomes, the harder it is to include large batteries, proper cooling systems, and high-performance hardware without affecting daily usability. Instead of launching a product that looked impressive but made sacrifices in real-world use, Xiaomi decided to abandon the idea entirely.
No Air, But Max
The comments also help explain why Xiaomi is focusing more heavily on larger “Max” devices in its upcoming lineup. Lu said the Xiaomi 17 Max is not being branded as a “Plus” model because the company sees the two categories differently. Traditionally, Plus phones mainly offer a larger display compared to the standard version. In Xiaomi’s case, however, the Max branding represents more than screen size alone.
Lu said the Max series is expected to include upgrades in areas such as imaging, performance, and battery life alongside the larger display.
The livestream comments arrive at a time when many smartphone brands are experimenting with thinner and lighter devices. However, Xiaomi’s decision suggests the company believes consumers still prioritize battery endurance and consistent performance over ultra-slim designs.
It also aligns with Xiaomi’s recent messaging around flagship devices, where the company has emphasized larger batteries, advanced camera systems, and higher-end hardware rather than chasing the thinnest possible form factor.
Headphone designs usually stick to familiar templates, but Edifier is trying a different approach with its latest release in China. The company has launched the Auro Ace, a pair of over-ear headphones that integrate a dot-matrix display into the side of the earcup. Priced at 279 yuan (roughly $40), the headset is positioned as a budget-friendly option that leans heavily into visual customization.
Edifier Auro Ace Specifications
The most distinct hardware feature is the screen itself. Built directly into the earcup, the animated dot-matrix panel can display real-time song lyrics and audio spectrum animations while connected via Bluetooth. Through the companion app, users can also set up custom text, pixel art, and graphics. Edifier includes a selection of built-in themes designed to match different outfits or preferences, treating the headphones as much as a visual accessory as a standard audio device.
As for the physical build, the Auro Ace is light, weighing in at 130 grams. This lower weight is intended to reduce pressure on the head during longer listening sessions. The design includes an adjustable hidden headband, a swing-joint structure to accommodate different head shapes, and soft ear cushions. It is available in three colors: Silver, Black, and Gold.
Inside, the headphones rely on 32mm dynamic drivers paired with a rear acoustic cavity design. On the connectivity side, the Auro Ace supports Bluetooth 6.0, which brings multipoint support so you can stay connected to a phone and a laptop at the same time. If you prefer a wired connection, the headphones also support plug-and-play USB audio.
Battery life is rated at up to 62 hours, though that metric comes with a caveat: it requires the dot-matrix display to be turned off and the volume set to 50%. The headset supports fast charging, providing about 11 hours of playback from a 15-minute charge.
Edifier also included AI noise reduction for phone calls and a shortcut that lets users double-press the power button to trigger their smartphone’s camera shutter.
In related news, Honor Choice Headphones 2 recently launched with 57dB ANC and 70-hour battery life.

Xiaomi President Lu Weibing has hinted that flagship smartphone prices may be heading into uncomfortable territory over the next couple of years. Speaking during a recent livestream, Lu suggested that some traditional high-end “candybar” phones in China could eventually cross the 10,000 yuan mark, especially toward the end of 2026.
To put that into perspective, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra started at 6,999 yuan (around $980) in China for the 12GB + 512GB version when it launched last December.
According to Lu, one of the biggest reasons is memory pricing. DRAM and NAND flash costs have been climbing sharply, and Xiaomi says those increases are becoming harder for smartphone makers to absorb. Lu mentioned that pricing for upcoming devices, including phones like the Xiaomi 17 Max, is still being discussed internally because component costs remain volatile.
He also pointed out that supply is not something manufacturers can quickly fix. Building a new memory factory can take several years from start to mass production, while demand continues to rise rapidly, especially because of AI servers and high-performance computing hardware. Lu believes the pressure on memory pricing may continue through 2027, and possibly even into 2028.
That context makes Xiaomi’s upcoming 17 Max launch particularly interesting. The phone has already been teased in China ahead of a May release and is expected to sit near the top of Xiaomi’s lineup. Leaks and teasers point to a large 6.9-inch display, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, Leica-tuned 200MP main camera, and a massive 8,000mAh battery.
Xiaomi is not the only brand dealing with rising costs either. Companies like Oppo, Vivo, and Honor are all facing similar pressure as component pricing continues to climb across the industry.
Still, Lu tried to reassure users that Xiaomi intends to keep focusing on value where possible, even if prices rise overall. Whether consumers are willing to accept flagship phones crossing the 10,000 yuan barrier is another question entirely.
If it happens, it could mark a pretty major shift for the Chinese smartphone market, where aggressive pricing has long been one of the biggest selling points.
Xiaomi has expanded its home appliance lineup with the release of the Mijia Air Conditioner Powerful Wind Pro. Following the launch of the standard model last month, this upgraded version is now available on Xiaomi Mall in China for an introductory price of 3,299 yuan ($484), compared to its retail price of 4,899 yuan ($719).
Mijia Powerful Wind Pro AC Specifications
While technically a 1.5HP+ wall-mounted air conditioner, Xiaomi claims it delivers the output of a bulkier 2HP floor-standing model. Under the hood, it pairs a 13cc dual-cylinder compressor with dual-row pure copper condensers and evaporators. This hardware combination achieves a peak cooling capacity of 6500W and a heating capacity of 8800W, allowing the system to start pushing cold air in 15 seconds or warm air in 30 seconds.
Internally, Xiaomi reworked the thermal exchange system to double the condenser’s surface area for heat exchange, which also helps slightly lower the unit’s operating noise. To handle harsh weather, it uses a dynamic refrigerant control system that keeps the air conditioner running steadily in outdoor temperatures ranging from -20°C to 55°C.
The system relies on a 118mm cross-flow fan to distribute up to 1,000 cubic meters of air per hour. Rather than blowing air directly at people, it uses targeted airflow modes to improve comfort in the room. During cooling, the unit pushes cold air toward the ceiling to let it naturally drop, and during heating, it directs warm air down toward the floor.
For energy efficiency, it holds a Level 1 energy efficiency rating with an Annual Performance Factor (APF) of 6.30. By utilizing built-in energy management algorithms, Xiaomi estimates the unit uses about 404kWh less electricity per year than a standard Level 3 model.
As expected from a Mijia appliance, the unit ties directly into Xiaomi’s broader smart home ecosystem. It runs on HyperOS and uses a dedicated AI module to handle local processing. You can adjust settings using the companion app, XiaoAI voice controls, or even the dashboard of a connected Xiaomi car before you get home.
Beyond the smart integrations, the system includes standard utility options like self-cleaning for both the indoor and outdoor units, anti-mildew drying, and a child lock.

Oppo’s latest flagship phone, the Find X9 Ultra, is running into an unexpected camera issue just weeks after launch. Some users are reporting that white objects in videos sometimes end up looking pink or magenta, especially when using certain camera modes.
The issue started gaining attention on Chinese social platforms during the May Day holiday. Some users noticed white clouds appearing pink in recorded footage, while others showed examples where buildings, tiles, or clothing suddenly shifted color after switching zoom levels.
One clip circulating online shows the phone displaying a white building normally in the live preview, only for parts of it to turn noticeably pink when moving to 2x zoom. According to users, the problem seems to happen more often on the main and ultra-wide cameras. Switching to the telephoto lens apparently reduces or completely removes the tint in some situations.
People have also tried restarting the phone, but the issue keeps coming back, which points more toward image processing than hardware failure.
Oppo customer service has since acknowledged the problem and confirmed it is a known software bug affecting the Find X9 Ultra. The company says they have already identified the cause, and a fix is planned through an OTA update expected later this month.
The timing is not ideal for Oppo, especially since the Find X9 Ultra was marketed heavily around camera quality and Hasselblad color tuning. The phone launched with a strong focus on professional imaging features, so users spotting obvious color problems this early has naturally raised some concerns online.
To Oppo’s credit, the company seems to have responded fairly quickly. While there is still no broader public statement, customer support is already telling affected users that a software update is on the way.
Software bugs around camera tuning are not exactly rare on new flagship phones, particularly ones using aggressive computational photography.
Coming home to a warm house and waiting for the air conditioner to catch up is a familiar routine. According to Xiaomi president Lu Weibing, that delay usually isn’t a hardware flaw; it is simply a software limitation. Traditional air conditioners operate on fixed cooling curves, meaning they deliver the same level of cooling regardless of the room’s actual conditions or how long you have been inside. To change this, Xiaomi is introducing new appliances that use on-device AI to manage their own settings.
The first product in this updated lineup is the Mijia Air Conditioner Strong Wind Pro. Instead of relying solely on a manual temperature input, the unit uses a built-in AI chip paired with a cloud-based model to learn a household’s specific environment and usage patterns.
The practical application here is a balance of energy efficiency and comfort. For instance, the system is designed to recognize when you first arrive home and temporarily increase its cooling power to bring the temperature down quickly. Later, when it is time for sleep, it can automatically lower its output to run more quietly and use less electricity. The goal is to create an appliance that adjusts itself based on context, rather than waiting for manual remote commands.
Xiaomi is applying a similar concept to floor cleaning with the new Mijia Robot Vacuum Mop 6 Max. While basic obstacle avoidance is standard on most modern robot vacuums, they can still struggle with complex room layouts, which often leads to missed spots.
These hardware updates tie into a broader corporate strategy. Earlier this year, Xiaomi committed to investing over $9 billion into AI research over the next three years. While much of the tech industry’s recent focus has been on generative text and chatbots, Xiaomi is trying to integrate AI into standard household hardware.
It is a more grounded approach to the current AI trend. Rather than simply adding a conversational voice assistant to every appliance, the company is using machine learning to handle basic, behind-the-scenes adjustments, such as making sure the living room is cool when you walk in and not wasting power when you are asleep.

Sony’s newly launched Xperia 1 VIII was supposed to highlight the company’s continued focus on creators and mobile photography. Instead, much of the conversation online this week has ended up revolving around a few badly received demo images.
The Xperia 1 VIII launched on May 13 with flagship hardware, including the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, ZEISS-branded cameras, expandable storage, and even a headphone jack — features Sony continues to keep around while most brands have moved on. But shortly after launch, Sony’s official Xperia account on X posted a set of “before and after” images to showcase the phone’s new AI Camera Assistant feature, and things quickly went sideways.
Rather than looking improved, the AI-processed shots appeared massively overexposed. Highlights were blown out, colors looked washed, and in some examples, details nearly disappeared entirely. One portrait sample in particular drew attention because the subject’s face looked almost faded away after processing.
The reaction online was immediate. Nothing CEO Carl Pei reposted the images with the comment, “This must be engagement farming??” Other creators joined in as well, and before long, social media had turned the whole thing into a meme. Users started posting exaggerated “AI enhanced” edits of their own, some reduced to completely white images with sarcastic captions thanking Sony for the upgrade.
Sony later clarified that the AI Camera Assistant is not meant to automatically edit photos after capture. The feature instead suggests different shooting styles and settings based on the scene, including exposure, color tone, lens effects, and bokeh adjustments. Users can then pick one of those styles or ignore them entirely.
The company also shared additional examples afterward that looked considerably more reasonable than the originals.
Whether it was simply a poor marketing example or indeed an engagement farming, the situation ended up overshadowing part of the Xperia 1 VIII launch. Ironically, the phone itself is still receiving fairly positive reactions for its hardware and camera-focused approach.
Xiaomi has launched a new smart refrigerator in China under its Mijia lineup. The new model is called the Mijia Refrigerator French 400L Automatic Ice Maker, and it is now open for reservations in China.
The biggest highlight is probably the automatic ice-making system. Xiaomi says the fridge can produce ice in about 60 minutes, which should be useful for households that regularly go through a lot of cold drinks or entertain guests often.
There is also a strong focus on hygiene. Xiaomi claims an antibacterial rate of over 99.9%, along with full-area ion purification to help reduce odors and keep food fresher for longer.
Inside, the refrigerator includes a 50L variable temperature compartment that can be adjusted between -1°C and 5°C. That gives a bit more flexibility depending on what you are storing, whether it is seafood, meat, vegetables, or drinks.
The total storage capacity is split into 216L for refrigeration, 50L for the adjustable zone, and 134L for the freezer section. Xiaomi says the layout is designed for families of around four to five people.
The fridge also supports Xiaomi’s HyperOS ecosystem, allowing remote controls and smart home integration. Other details include a quiet 35dB operating noise level and a 10-year compressor warranty.
Design-wise, Xiaomi is going with a softer look this time. The refrigerator comes in an apricot finish and uses a relatively slim body design that should fit more easily into compact kitchens. Xiaomi says it takes up around 0.4 square meters of floor space.
Pricing:
The refrigerator is priced at 2,999 yuan, though China’s national subsidy brings the effective price down to around 2,549 yuan, which puts it in a fairly competitive spot for a feature-heavy mid-range model.
With products like this, Xiaomi continues to push deeper into the smart appliance market beyond phones, wearables, and EVs.
If your iPhone battery is running low by lunchtime, or you are the kind of person who forgets to charge, you are not alone. Heavy app use, always-on displays, and the demands of 5G connectivity mean that even the latest iPhones can struggle through a full day.
A MagSafe power bank is one of the smartest accessories you can have for this problem. It snaps onto the back of your iPhone magnetically, charges it wirelessly, and lets you keep using the phone normally while it tops up.
But the market is crowded. Walk into any electronics store or scroll through Amazon, and you will find dozens of options. So to make your decision easy, we are listing out the best MagSafe power banks for iPhone in 2026 from three of the most reliable brands: Anker, Belkin, and Ugreen.
Before jumping into the products, let’s quickly understand the terminology.
MagSafe is Apple’s magnetic charging system, built into every iPhone from the iPhone 12 onwards. It uses a ring of magnets to snap accessories, including power banks, perfectly into place on the back of the phone.
Meanwhile, Qi2 is an open standard based on MagSafe, developed by the Wireless Power Consortium. It brings the same magnetic alignment and 15W fast wireless charging to non-Apple devices and accessories. In 2026, Qi2 is the standard to look for on any magnetic power bank, because it guarantees genuine fast charging rather than the slower 7.5W you get from basic wireless chargers.
The newest generation, Qi2.2, pushes speeds even further to 25W, and one of the brands below has been the first to bring this to market.
2. Anker MagGo Power Bank
Anker has been the world’s number one mobile charging brand by retail sales for five consecutive years, and its MagSafe lineup reflects years of refinement.

Weighing 5.3 ounces, the BoostCharge Pro is compact and travel-friendly. Belkin offers the device in multiple colors: Deep Purple, Teal, Pink, and Black, to suit different tastes.
In independent head-to-head recharge testing, the Belkin BoostCharge Pro Power Bank 5K + Stand won in recharging tests, recharging a faded iPhone 16 Pro by 79%, beating the 5K EcoFlow RAPID (70%) and the Ugreen 5,000mAh model (68%).
Every Belkin purchase also comes with a 2-year warranty and a $2,500 Connected Equipment Warranty. Belkin will repair or replace electronic devices damaged by an electrical charge while properly connected to this charger. This level of protection is almost unheard of among power bank manufacturers, making Belkin an easy recommendation for anyone who owns expensive devices.
The BoostCharge Pro is sustainably made with post-consumer recycled materials and comes in 100% plastic-free packaging.
7. Ugreen MagFlow
Ugreen might be less of a household name than Anker or Belkin, but the company has been a reliable choice for anyone looking for charging accessories, including those of iPhones.
8. Ugreen MagFlow (10,000mAh, Qi2.2)
The Ugreen MagFlow is the world’s first Qi2.2-certified power bank, delivering wireless charging speeds up to 25W.
During real-world testing, the MagFlow was able to charge an iPhone from 20% to 80% twice using Qi2 wireless charging, drawing on its 10,000mAh capacity.
The MagFlow also features 30W USB-C fast charging with a built-in USB-C cable and a lanyard that helps carry the power bank around. In total, this power bank offers two USB-C wired connections, the built-in cable, and a separate port, in addition to wireless charging. With that, you can charge an iPhone 17 Pro Max, AirPods Pro 3, and Apple Watch Ultra on the go with just one extra cable.
It also has a real-time LED display that shows battery levels, and a 13-layer safety system protects against overheating and overcharging. The built-in cable also doubles as a strap.
The main trade-off with the Ugreen MagFlow is price. It sits at approximately a 20% premium over most alternatives, with a price tag of around $90.
Samsung may once again rely on MediaTek for its next flagship tablets. A new report from Android Authority claims references to the Dimensity 9500 have been spotted inside Samsung’s AI Core application, hinting at what could power the upcoming Galaxy Tab S12 lineup.
The chipset appears in the code under model number MT6993, which corresponds to MediaTek’s flagship Dimensity 9500 platform. The code itself does not directly mention the Galaxy Tab S12 series, but based on Samsung’s recent tablet strategy, it is the most likely candidate.
Samsung already shifted away from Qualcomm for some of its premium tablets in recent years. The Galaxy Tab S10 and Tab S11 series used high-end Dimensity chips instead of Snapdragon processors, so the move would not be surprising this time either.
The Dimensity 9500 is built on TSMC’s 3nm process and focuses heavily on AI and power efficiency. It uses an all-big-core CPU setup along with MediaTek’s latest Mali GPU, which should help with gaming and multitasking on larger-screen devices like tablets.
Interestingly, the leak comes from Samsung’s own AI software. The AI Core app reportedly references several on-device AI features expected for the Tab S12 lineup, including AI-generated wallpapers, generative image editing, image expansion, and something called Image Harmonization. That last feature is said to intelligently adjust lighting and colors when placing subjects into different backgrounds, making edits look more natural.
The broader pattern here is Samsung pushing more AI processing directly onto the device instead of relying entirely on cloud servers. That usually means faster performance, lower latency, and fewer privacy concerns since some tasks no longer need internet access.
The Galaxy Tab S12 series is expected to launch later this year, likely around the usual September timeframe. Models like the Tab S12+ and Tab S12 Ultra are expected to return, though full specs are still mostly under wraps.
If this leak turns out to be accurate, Samsung’s next flagship tablets could end up focusing just as much on AI performance as raw hardware power.
Xiaomi is getting ready to enter the growing open-ear audio segment with its first pair of clip-on wireless earbuds. The company has now officially shared early details ahead of the launch later this month, and the focus seems to be on comfort, lightweight design, and smart features tied into Xiaomi’s ecosystem.
Each side weighs around 5.5 grams, which should make them fairly easy to wear for longer periods without the usual pressure inside the ear canal. Xiaomi says the structure uses memory titanium wire with a biomimetic curved shape to help keep the fit secure while staying comfortable.
Design is clearly a big part of the pitch here. The earbuds feature a glossy finish with what Xiaomi describes as a transparent sound-emitting sphere design and metallic textures around the outer shell. So far, the company has shown Satin Gold and Pearl White color options.
On the audio side, Xiaomi is using an 11mm driver with a metal-coated diaphragm. The earbuds also support LHDC 5.0 and Hi-Res audio certification, which should help with higher-quality wireless playback on supported devices.
Call quality seems to be another area Xiaomi is pushing. The earbuds include a three-microphone setup along with a VPU sensor and AI-based noise reduction. There is also a “reverse sound wave technology” meant to reduce audio leakage, which is usually one of the bigger issues with open-ear designs.
Xiaomi is also adding several AI-focused features, including real-time translation across 21 languages, voice recording, and automatic summaries. Some of those features will likely depend heavily on Xiaomi’s own ecosystem and Xiao AI support.
The company has not confirmed battery life or pricing yet, but the launch is expected sometime later this month. There is also a good chance these earbuds arrive alongside other Xiaomi products, including the Mi Band 10 Pro and Xiaomi 17 Max.
Xiaomi is preparing to launch its new wearable, the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 Pro, in China this month. And the company today confirmed that the tracker will have deeper integration with the Apple ecosystem.
According to official information, the Smart Band 10 Pro will be compatible with both Apple Inc. devices and Xiaomi phones at the same time. This means users can wear the band while using an iPhone and still get real-time syncing of notifications for calls, text messages, and even WeChat. It also supports quick actions through iPhone shortcuts, including activating Do Not Disturb mode and enabling outdoor cycling tracking.
The device goes beyond basic notification support. It can remotely control an iPhone for taking photos, managing music playback, and even helping users locate their phone. Health and fitness data, such as activity tracking, sleep patterns, and heart rate, can also be automatically synced to Apple Health.
Apart from this, the band will have integration with Xiaomi Auto to offer driving reminders, fatigue alerts, and navigation warnings if a route is missed. It also supports Xiaomi’s Home automation system, allowing users to control smart home devices directly from the wrist. NFC support is included as well, enabling transport cards, access cards, campus cards, and car key simulation, along with offline payments and Alipay “Tap to Pay” functionality.
Xiaomi Smart Band 10 Pro Specifications
In terms of design, the Smart Band 10 Pro is very lightweight at just 21.6 grams and only 9.7mm thick. It features an aluminum alloy body with a curved display and supports an optional Milanese strap. The device also offers up to 21 days of battery life, depending on usage.
According to previous reports, the Smart Band 10 Pro is said to feature a 1.74-inch AMOLED display and a 380mAh battery, which may last up to 25 days in light use conditions. The wearable has already been spotted in multiple color options, including black, silver, pink, and possibly white, orange, and a ceramic variant. In Brazil, pricing is expected to fall between $150 and $170.
The Smart Band 10 Pro will sit above the standard Smart Band 10 as Xiaomi’s more premium fitness band offering.

Oppo Find X9s is soon making its way to the Indian market, and a new leak has now revealed both the expected launch date and pricing details of the phone. Oppo announced the device in China back in April, and the company later confirmed that the device would also arrive in India.
Now, tipster Abhishek Yadav claims that the Oppo Find X9s will launch in India on 21 May 2026 with a price tag of Rs 79,999. The price is for the 12/256GB variant.
Surprisingly, the standard Find X9 with almost similar hardware and a better processor is available in India for Rs 74,999. Know the difference between the two.
Oppo Find X9s Specifications
For the price, the Oppo Find X9s will bring a 6.59-inch FHD+ OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The panel is also supports up to 1,800 nits of high brightness mode and comes protected by Gorilla Glass 7i. All of this fits in a slim 7.99mm body while weighing around 202 grams.
Under the hood, the smartphone runs on MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500s chipset paired with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage. For graphics, the device includes the Immortalis-G925 MC12 GPU clocked at 1,612 MHz. The Find X9s is also expected to ship with Android 16 out of the box.
In the camera department, Oppo equips the phone with a triple 50MP rear camera setup. The primary sensor comes with OIS support and is paired with an ultrawide camera and a 3x periscope telephoto lens. On the front, the device features a 32MP selfie shooter.
Moreover, the Oppo Find X9s packs a large 7,025mAh battery with support for 80W wired fast charging.
Other expected features include an in-display fingerprint scanner, dual stereo speakers, NFC support, an X-axis linear motor, Bluetooth 6.1, and Wi-Fi 7 compatibility. The smartphone is also tipped to carry IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance.

iQOO is starting to reveal more details about the upcoming iQOO Pad6 Pro, and the company is putting a heavy focus on gaming performance ahead of the tablet’s May 20 launch in China.
One of the biggest claims so far is support for 13 native 4K games, which is still relatively uncommon on Android tablets. According to iQOO, some shooting games can run at up to 4K resolution and 144fps in the company’s Monster+ mode, while certain open-world titles support up to 2.7K at 120fps. As always, actual gameplay performance will likely vary depending on the title, but the specs are clearly aimed at mobile gamers who want something beyond standard tablet gaming.
The display itself also looks fairly impressive on paper. The Pad6 Pro features a large 13.2-inch 4K LCD panel with a 144Hz refresh rate, up to 1200 nits brightness, and Dolby Vision support. Between the high resolution and refresh rate alone, the tablet seems positioned somewhere between a gaming device and a portable media machine.
Powering the device is the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset paired with up to 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. iQOO is also highlighting a large internal cooling system to help sustain performance during longer gaming sessions. The company even claims AnTuTu scores exceeding 4.44 million points, although benchmark numbers do not always translate directly into real-world experience.
Battery life could end up being another major selling point here. The Pad6 Pro packs a massive 13,000mAh battery with support for 90W fast charging, which should at least help offset the power demands of a large high-refresh-rate 4K display. Audio also seems to be part of the package, with an 8-speaker setup designed for a more immersive gaming and media experience.
While the hardware shares a lot in common with the Vivo Pad6 Pro, iQOO appears to be marketing this version more aggressively toward gamers and performance-focused users. The tablet will reportedly launch in color options including Crystal Gray and Silver Wing.
Samsung is likely working on a new Galaxy M series phone. The upcoming Samsung Galaxy M47 has now surfaced on Geekbench, revealing key hardware details ahead of launch.

Samsung Galaxy M47: What we know so far
This is not the first time the Galaxy M47 has appeared online. An earlier report suggests Samsung had already started internal testing of the device in markets such as India and Nepal. The smartphone had also previously surfaced in the IMEI database, which hinted that development was already underway.
The Galaxy M47 is expected to arrive as the successor to the Samsung Galaxy M44, which debuted in late 2023. Compared to the older model, the new device is likely to bring upgrades in processing power and software support.
Galaxy M44
While Samsung has not officially confirmed the specifications yet, reports suggest the Galaxy M47 could feature a Super AMOLED display, 5G connectivity, and a large battery capacity.
There are also indications that Samsung may slightly change the positioning of its Galaxy M and Galaxy F series this year. Another upcoming handset, believed to be called the Samsung Galaxy F70 Pro, could share similarities with the Galaxy M47.
The Galaxy M47 will succeed the Galaxy M44, which features a 6.58-inch full-HD+ LCD, a 50-megapixel triple rear camera setup, an 8-megapixel selfie camera, and a 5,000mAh battery. With the Galaxy M47 now appearing on Geekbench, more details about Samsung’s next mid-range phone could surface in the coming weeks.

Recent reports have revealed that the iQOO 15T will feature a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens alongside the primary camera, as well as a 16-megapixel front-facing camera. The device will ship with OriginOS 6-based Android 16.
On the front, the iQOO 15T will feature a 6.82-inch 2K flat display with support for a 144Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, it will be powered by the Dimensity 9500 Monster Edition chipset for improved gaming performance. The inclusion of the self-developed Q3 e-sports chip will enable full-scene ray tracing, super 2K resolution, and 2K + 144fps gaming in select titles. At present, there is no clarity on whether the iQOO 15T will launch in markets outside China.

The OnePlus Nord 6 focuses on durability and practicality with IP68/IP69K protection and MIL-STD-810H certification. Its plastic frame and back help keep the device comfortable during extended gaming or media sessions, though it does not feel as premium in hand. The Poco F8 Pro clearly targets a more flagship-style experience with its aluminum frame, glass back, and Gorilla Glass 7i protection. It feels more polished and refined, especially for users who care about premium materials.
Display Quality
OnePlus pushes harder on refresh rate and brightness with a 165Hz AMOLED panel and impressive peak brightness levels. Animations feel extremely smooth, and gaming responsiveness stands out immediately. Poco counters with Dolby Vision support, richer color depth, and a more balanced flagship-grade viewing experience. While the lower 120Hz refresh rate is noticeable on paper, the overall display tuning feels more cinematic and polished for streaming content.
Verdict
Poco F8 Pro feels more premium overall, while the OnePlus Nord 6 delivers a more aggressive gaming-focused display experience. Users prioritizing smoothness and durability may lean toward OnePlus, but Poco offers the more flagship-like finish.
2. Specifications Including Battery
Performance
The Poco F8 Pro takes a clear lead in raw performance thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and Adreno 830 GPU. Heavy gaming, multitasking, and AI-based processing feel effortless, placing it closer to ultra-premium Android flagships. The OnePlus Nord 6 still performs extremely well with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, offering smooth real-world usage and efficient thermal handling. It feels optimized for long gaming sessions rather than chasing benchmark numbers.
Battery and Charging
Battery life becomes the Nord 6’s biggest strength, especially with the massive 9000mAh India variant. It can comfortably stretch into two days for moderate users, something very few performance-focused phones can manage. The 80W charging is slower than Poco’s 100W system, but endurance matters more for many buyers. Poco charges significantly faster and still provides reliable all-day usage, though its smaller battery may feel less future-proof for power users.
Verdict
Poco F8 Pro wins outright for flagship-level performance, but the OnePlus Nord 6 stands out with unmatched battery endurance. The choice depends on whether raw power or long-lasting usage matters more.
3. Camera
Main and Secondary Lenses
The Poco F8 Pro delivers a more versatile camera setup with a dedicated 50MP telephoto lens, allowing cleaner portrait shots and better zoom quality. Its larger primary sensor also helps in low-light photography, producing more detailed and balanced images. Video recording is another major advantage, especially with 8K support and stronger slow-motion capabilities. The OnePlus Nord 6 keeps things simpler with a dual-camera setup focused on reliability rather than flexibility. Daylight shots remain sharp and vibrant, and the color tuning feels consistent across most conditions.
Selfie Camera
OnePlus gains an edge for selfie users with its 32MP front camera and 4K recording support. The sharper output and autofocus support help during video calls and social media recording. Poco’s 20MP front camera performs adequately but feels less impressive considering the price difference.
Verdict
Poco F8 Pro offers a stronger rear camera system and more professional versatility, while the OnePlus Nord 6 quietly becomes the better option for selfie-focused users and casual content creators.
4. Pricing
The OnePlus Nord 6 is priced at around ₹39,000, while the Poco F8 Pro reaches roughly ₹52,000. That gap changes the entire comparison because both devices target performance-focused buyers but approach value differently. OnePlus delivers flagship-grade gaming performance, a massive battery, advanced durability ratings, and a high-refresh-rate AMOLED display at a much lower price point. It feels aggressively positioned for buyers wanting maximum hardware without crossing premium flagship territory.
The Poco F8 Pro justifies its higher price through a better chipset, premium materials, stronger cameras, faster charging, and flagship-style finishing touches. It feels closer to ultra-premium Android devices rather than a typical value flagship. Buyers paying extra are clearly getting meaningful upgrades rather than small cosmetic improvements.
Verdict
OnePlus Nord 6 offers stronger value for money overall, especially for gamers and battery-focused users. Poco F8 Pro justifies its premium pricing better for users wanting flagship cameras, build quality, and top-tier performance.
Disclaimer: Prices are approximate and may vary based on country, region, launch timing, and applicable taxes. Always check whether the listed price is for a China unit or a global/international variant when purchasing.
5. Conclusion
The OnePlus Nord 6 stands out with its unusually massive battery, 165Hz AMOLED display, IP69K durability, and practical gaming-focused approach. It feels designed for buyers who want long endurance and consistently smooth performance without overspending. The Poco F8 Pro, meanwhile, pushes closer to flagship territory with the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, premium glass-and-metal construction, telephoto camera, Dolby Vision support, and superior multimedia experience.
Both phones target power users, but their priorities are very different. OnePlus focuses on efficiency, endurance, and aggressive value, while Poco emphasizes flagship polish and maximum performance. That difference becomes noticeable in everyday usage rather than just specification sheets.
Verdict
OnePlus Nord 6 is the smarter value-driven choice for most buyers, especially gamers and heavy users who prioritize battery life. The Poco F8 Pro feels more complete and premium overall, making it the better option for users willing to spend extra for flagship-level refinement.
