Nvidia is betting big on the future of intelligent connectivity, investing $1 billion in Nokia to accelerate work on AI-driven 5G and 6G networks. The move gives Nvidia a 2.9% stake in the Finnish telecom giant and signals a deeper partnership aimed at blending AI and radio access networks (RAN) — what both companies are calling AI-RAN.
Under the deal, Nvidia will buy almost 166.4 million new Nokia shares at $6.01 each, pending regulatory approval. The funding will help Nokia speed up its development of AI-based RAN software, expand its cloud and data center solutions, and enhance its optical and switching technologies — all key to building the next generation of AI-ready infrastructure.
The collaboration will see Nvidia’s CUDA and AI platforms integrated into Nokia’s telecom systems, effectively turning networks into smart, adaptive systems capable of handling AI workloads closer to the user.
T-Mobile US is already signed on as a partner, with field trials planned for 2026 to test performance, power efficiency, and real-world scalability.
Nokia CEO Justin Hotard described the partnership as a “fundamental redesign” of how networks operate — bringing computing intelligence to the edge of connectivity. Nvidia’s Jensen Huang added that telecommunications form the “digital nervous system” of modern economies and that AI-RAN could be a generational shift for national infrastructure.
The deal also pulls in Dell Technologies as part of the broader ecosystem, hinting at new opportunities in data center and edge computing integration.
If successful, this could mark one of the most significant shifts in telecom since the rollout of 4G — paving the way for 6G networks that think, learn, and adapt in real time.
Huawei’s Mate lineup has always been about pushing boundaries, and the upcoming Mate 70 Air looks like it’ll continue that trend — only slimmer and sleeker. Fresh leaks suggest that the Mate 70 Air will pack a quad-curved display and extra RAM, giving it an edge over the standard model ahead of its rumored November debut.
The standard Mate 70 already sets a solid foundation with a 6.7-inch flat OLED display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 1.5K resolution (2688 × 1216). It supports 1.07 billion colors, P3 wide color gamut, 1440Hz PWM dimming, and 300Hz touch sampling — all protected by second-gen Kunlun Glass, which Huawei claims is impressively durable in terms of both scratch and drop protection. Inside, there’s the Kirin 9020 chip, 12GB of RAM, and storage options up to 1TB.
According to tipster Fixed Focus Digital, the Mate 70 Air takes things a step further. It’s said to feature a quad-curved display — curved on all four edges — for a more immersive, near bezel-free experience. The screen could measure around 6.9 inches, with a slightly different aspect ratio from the Mate 70’s layout.
Storage options will likely include 12GB/256GB, 12GB/512GB, and possibly a 16GB variant. The device will ship with HarmonyOS 5.1, with an upgrade path to HarmonyOS 6.0 later. Despite its slim profile — reportedly just over 6mm thick — the Air is expected to hold its own in battery life, likely surpassing rivals like the iPhone Air and Samsung’s S25 Edge.
As for timing, FixedFocus claims Huawei is planning a “warm-up for autumn” release, pointing to the first week of November 2025.
The Mate 70 was announced toward the end of November last year, measuring 7.8mm thick and housing a 5,300mAh battery. With the Moto X70 Air (5.99mm) entering the slim phone race with a 4,800mAh cell, it’ll be interesting to see how much Huawei’s battery tech can manage. Pricing remains under wraps for now, but we should learn more as the launch draws closer.

Well, a fire incident involving Samsung’s Galaxy S25+ has reignited concerns about smartphone safety, echoing uncomfortable memories of the Galaxy Note 7 saga. This time, the explosion occurred not during charging but during regular use, a troubling development for the company’s latest flagship series.
Not Charging but Still Caught Fire
The incident took place in South Korea and was first reported on Samsung’s official community forum by the device owner, who described a terrifying sequence. According to the user, the S25+ suddenly began to overheat while being held, followed by a loud popping sound. The phone was immediately tossed to the floor, and that quick reaction may have prevented a more serious injury. Despite the effort, flames broke out, and the user sustained minor burns on their fingers.
Photos shared on the forum show a severely damaged S25+, with a charred frame and a warped display. Samsung has since collected the phone and begun an internal investigation, although early findings from the company’s service center cite the cause as “unknown.”
What makes this case more alarming is the absence of charging at the time of the explosion. Typically, such fires are linked to charging malfunctions or third-party cables. This time, the fault may lie deeper, possibly in the battery management system, thermal dissipation, or even abnormal chip heating. Until more information is available, the incident remains an isolated but deeply concerning outlier.
Samsung has reportedly issued a full refund to the affected user. Meanwhile, safety experts and consumers are left wondering whether the Galaxy S25+ or other models in the lineup might be at risk.
For now, if your S25+ starts to run unusually hot or behaves erratically, shut it down immediately and contact Samsung support. This might just be a one-off, but it is a hot one, literally.

Neo stands 1.68 meters tall and weighs around 30 kilograms. It uses tendon-driven actuators and features a soft body made of 3D lattice polymer. The robot has a low operating noise of 22 decibels and can operate for up to four hours on a single charge. It can carry loads up to 24.95 kilograms and lift objects weighing up to 69.85 kilograms. Neo is available in three color options: Tan, Grey, and Dark Brown.
1X says Neo can take care of everyday household chores, including folding laundry, organizing shelves, and cleaning rooms. The robot can be operated through voice commands or a dedicated mobile app that supports task scheduling and real-time monitoring. It also includes a built-in large language model that enables contextual conversations, answers user queries, and offers helpful suggestions.
Neo combines audio, visual, and memory-based data to personalize its behavior and recognize when it is being addressed. It can also process visual information to identify kitchen ingredients and suggest recipes accordingly.
During its early stages of development, Neo relies on a feature called Expert Mode for tasks it does not yet understand. Through this system, users can schedule remote assistance sessions where a human operator from 1X can take control using a VR headset. These sessions require user consent, and privacy options let users blur faces, define private zones, and restrict access.
1X says it has implemented multiple security layers to protect user privacy. The company emphasized that early adopters should expect some level of human teleoperation to support Neo’s AI training. CEO Bernt Øyvind Børnich described this as part of a “social contract” between users and the company to help advance the technology.
Pricing and Availability
The robot is now available for preorder on the official 1X website with a refundable deposit of $200. The company also offers a $499 monthly subscription plan for those who prefer not to pay the full price upfront.

If you’ve been eyeing a new phone, you might want to buy sooner rather than later. A global memory chip shortage is pushing up costs, and many smartphone makers, including Samsung, one of the largest memory manufacturers, are reportedly planning price hikes across their lineup.
The issue comes down to high-bandwidth memory (HBM), the same ultra-fast RAM used in AI servers that power tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot. Demand has exploded thanks to the AI boom, but supply hasn’t caught up. Prices for memory chips are reportedly up by more than 50% this year, and it’s starting to ripple through to consumer hardware.
Samsung, for instance, is expected to raise prices on its upcoming phones and tablets to offset higher chip costs. Even though Samsung makes its own DRAM and NAND, it’s not immune to global supply pressure. The report doesn’t mention exact figures, but the bump will reportedly affect most product lines.
Some brands are already adjusting their prices. Xiaomi’s new Redmi K90 launched with a starting price of 2,599 CNY, a 100 CNY increase over its predecessor with the same 12GB + 256GB configuration.
What does that mean for buyers? Expect similar price hikes on upcoming models — roughly $50 to $100 for a flagship. And this memory crunch isn’t ending anytime soon. As SamMobile reports, the shortage could drag on into 2027 or even 2028, with AI demand showing no signs of slowing down. So, if you’re planning an upgrade, it might be smart to grab your next handset before prices start creeping up.
Motorola is gearing up to launch its latest mid-range contender in India. The Moto G67 Power just had its release date confirmed for next month, with the early teasers revealing a massive battery pack and solid specs. So here’s everything you need to know.
Moto G67 Power Drops on November 5
The brand has just confirmed that it is expanding its Moto G Power series of smartphones with the Moto G67 Power on 5th November 2025. So while we’re just a week away from its release, Motorola has also revealed plenty of key specs and features of this smartphone. The Power series is known for its huge battery packs, and the Moto G67 Power doesn’t disappoint either, with a massive 7,000mAh silicon carbon cell. Motorola is promising up to 58 hours of use on a single full charge.
Moto G67 Power in Pantone Parachute
For optics, the rear has a 50MP Sony LYT600 main camera that is paired with an 8MP ultra wide angle lens. Meanwhile, the front houses a 32MP shooter for selfies and video calls. On the front, the Moto G67 Power sports a tall 6.7-inch display with an FHD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and Corning’s Gorilla Glass 7i for protection. The company is bringing back vegan leather materials for this model, along with the MIL-810H military grade certification.
It will launch in 3 Pantone certified colors, which include Pantone Cilantro, Pantone Blue Curacao, and Pantone Parachute. Other notable features include Android 15 OS out of the box, stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, Snapdragon 7s Gen 2, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of internal storage. Motorola’s next big battery phone will be launched next week via the brand’s official website, Flipkart, and offline stores.

Apple is bringing OLED screens to more of its lineup, but it’s going to take a while. According to Bloomberg, the company is working on OLED versions of the iPad Mini, iPad Air, and MacBook Air, with launches spread out over the next few years.
The iPad Mini is reportedly first in line, set to make the jump in 2026. The iPad Air will follow in its next major refresh — likely 2027 — while the MacBook Air is expected to be last, moving to OLED around 2028. So, if you’re eyeing an upcoming MacBook Air, expect another LCD panel.
OLED displays bring richer colors, deeper blacks, and better contrast — plus a small bump in power efficiency compared to the current Liquid Retina screens. It’s the same display tech already found on the latest iPad Pro, and Apple now seems ready to expand it beyond the “Pro” machines.
Bloomberg also notes Apple is experimenting with a water-resistant design for the next iPad Mini, using vibration-based speakers instead of traditional cutouts. That could make it the first iPad with proper ingress protection — handy for anyone who likes using a tablet outdoors.
There’s a downside, though: cost. OLED panels are pricier to make, and supply chain chatter suggests price hikes across the board. According to reports, this upgrade may result in as much as a $100 price hike.
That puts Apple’s mid-tier devices in tougher competition with Android rivals like Samsung, Lenovo, and OnePlus, which already sell OLED tablets under $500.
Still, Apple’s clearly moving toward an all-OLED lineup — it just won’t happen overnight. By the end of the decade, most of Apple’s portable lineup could share the same rich, contrasty look that’s now reserved for the Pro models.
The Exynos 2600 has popped up on Geekbench once again, this time with even better performance numbers.
According to the latest benchmark listing, Samsung’s upcoming flagship chip scored 3,455 points in single-core and 11,621 points in multi-core tests. For comparison, when it first appeared back in August, it managed to get 3,309 and 11,256 points, respectively.
In both runs, the CPU configuration remains the same. The chip’s prime Cortex-X930 core is running at 3.8GHz, three Cortex-A730 performance cores at 3.26GHz, and six Cortex-A730S cores clocked at 2.76GHz. The improvement suggests Samsung has been doing some behind-the-scenes tuning to squeeze more out of the silicon.
To put those numbers in perspective, our Xiaomi 17 unit with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 reached 3,078 points in single-core and 9,162 in multi-core.
On paper, that means the Exynos 2600 is currently ahead. Still, it’s worth remembering that Samsung’s test setup is a controlled environment, and real-world results could look different once the chip lands in actual phones.
There’s a possibility of two versions
Interestingly, Samsung may be working on two versions of the Exynos 2600. A variant with lower clock speeds also appeared on Geekbench last week, showing prime core at 3.55GHz, three performance cores at 2.96GHz, and six efficiency cores at 2.46GHz. Unsurprisingly, its scores dipped to 3,047 (single-core) and 10,025 (multi-core).
According to SammyGuru, the dual listings could hint that Samsung may be planning to use two versions of the chip across its lineup. The higher-clocked model might be reserved for the Galaxy S26 Ultra, while the S26 and S26 Plus could ship with the toned-down variant. That’s just speculation for now.

Most phones promise “all-day battery life,” but few can actually back it up once you start gaming, recording 4K video, or streaming. A new endurance test puts those claims to the test — and the results are pretty shocking. Oppo’s Find X9 Pro didn’t just edge out its rivals — it obliterated them, lasting nearly four hours longer than both the iPhone 17 Pro Max and Pixel 10 Pro XL.
The test, conducted by YouTuber Lover of Tech, pushed all three flagships through an identical, hour-by-hour stress routine: one hour of Asphalt 9, one of 4K video recording, another of live social streaming, plus TikTok and YouTube playback — all under the same brightness, cellular network, and volume settings.
Here’s how they stacked up:
Google Pixel 10 Pro XL: tapped out first at 7 hours
iPhone 17 Pro Max: followed closely at 7 hours 17 minutes
That’s more than four extra hours of screen-on time compared to the iPhone — a gap big enough to make a real difference in day-to-day use.
A big part of Oppo’s win comes down to the hardware. The Find X9 Pro packs a massive 7,500mAh silicon-carbon battery, the largest in any flagship right now. But it’s not just about size — Oppo combines that with smart optimization features like AI-based background freezing to limit unnecessary drain.
For content creators, travelers, and gamers, this isn’t just a spec-sheet win — it’s the kind of real-world performance that changes how you use your phone. You can shoot video all afternoon, stream, scroll, and still have enough charge left at night to skip the wall socket.
At €1,299, the Find X9 Pro isn’t cheap, but it delivers something most premium phones don’t. OPPO seems to have realized that lasting longer — without compromising the in-hand experience — might just be the most premium feature of all.
OPPO has officially launched ColorOS 16, the latest iteration of its Android skin, marking a major leap in design, intelligence and device-connectivity. Built on Android 16, this update introduces smoother animations, stronger AI features, improved cross-device workflows and enhanced privacy. The global announcement arrives alongside the brand’s flagship Find X9 and Find X9 Pro. With the roll out set to begin in November 2025 and spanning into early 2026, here’s what the new OS brings and which OPPO devices are first in line.
ColorOS 16 is designed to feel both faster and more refined than its predecessors. At the heart of the update lies a revamped animation system. OPPO is offering seamless animations that are powered by the new Luminous Rendering Engine and Trinity Engine. These components work together to render visual elements more efficiently and reduce lag across apps and transitions.
The goal is to make launching apps feel faster, scrolling smoother, and the interface more fluid overall. OPPO claims double-digit improvements in animation speed and touch responsiveness. Meanwhile, visually the UI takes cues from nature, with elements like light, shadow and motion influencing the design, adding immersive touches like motion wallpapers and full-screen always-on displays.
2. Smarter Features & Deeper Connectivity
Beyond aesthetics and motion, ColorOS 16 introduces meaningful upgrades in intelligence and ecosystem integration. One major focus is on Artificial Intelligence, bringing various AI driven editing tools like AI Portrait Glow, AI Eraser, and Master Cut video editing. All of this gives users one-tap ways to enhance photos and footage.
ColorOS 16 arrives with Oppo AI integration that features tools like AI Mind Space, AI Mind Assistant, and Smart Collections. The system also integrates Google’s Gemini, with Gemini Live allowing for real time interaction with Google’s multimodal assistant. So it can understand and read contextual information available on-screen. On the connectivity front, O+ Connect and improved multi-device workflows allow you to share files, mirror apps and link your phone with Mac and Windows PCs seamlessly. This allows for improved cross platform connectivity.
Additionally, privacy and system security are also getting an upgrade with more granular controls and background optimization. This system includes Oppo Lock for advanced data protection (Call to Lock, Dual Verification, & more) that can secure your device’s data if it gets lost, and Private Computing Cloud that makes sure your private data is processed with Oppos Private Cloud to remain secure.
3. Roll Out Timeline & Eligible Devices
