Nov 5, 2025

Update: An Honor engineer has hinted that the Honor 500 has the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip, while rumors suggest the Honor 500 Pro will feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite.

The title of this post has been updated accordingly.

Original post continues…

A new Honor smartphone bearing the model number MEY-AN00 has appeared on Geekbench, and the details that have surfaced through it suggest that it could be the upcoming Honor 500 Pro. The device was previously spotted on the 3C certification platform, hinting at fast charging capabilities. Its Geekbench entry reveals the chipset powering the phone, effectively ending earlier rumors that it would feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite.

Honor 500 Pro Geekbench listing

The Geekbench listing shows that the Honor MEY-AN00 phone is equipped with the Qualcomm SM8735 chip with four clusters, including a prime core clocked at 3.21GHz, along with Adreno 825 GPU. These details confirm that the device is powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 rather than the Snapdragon 8 Elite. Since Honor is known for using the Snapdragon 8-series chip for the Pro model, the MEY-AN00 appears to be the Honor 500 Pro.

The listing further reveals 16GB RAM and Android 16 out of the box. In performance tests, the device records 2113 in single-core and 6539 in multi-core scores on Geekbench 6.3.

According to recent reports, the Honor 500 Pro is expected to feature a 6.5-inch flat OLED display with a 1.5K resolution, along with a refreshed design featuring a horizontal camera bar on the back.

The camera module will include a 200-megapixel main camera with OIS, an ultra-wide lens, and a 64-megapixel OmniVision OV64B periscope telephoto lens for enhanced zoom. It may arrive with a substantial battery with 100W charging support.

The standard Honor 500, which is said to have the MEP-AN00 model number, is rumored to include the same display, a 200-megapixel dual-camera setup, 100W charging, and a Snapdragon 7-series chipset, which could be the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4.

Both models are expected to launch in China later this month. There is no confirmation yet on whether the Honor 500 series will be released in global markets.

How the Self‑Revive Kit Is Killing the Essence of PUBG Mobile

By

Soumyakanti

-

Nov 5, 2025

PUBG Mobile was never just another battle royale. It built its legacy around raw tension, tactical teamwork, and the razor-thin line between survival and death. But with the introduction of the Self-Revive Kit, a mechanic that lets players get back up without any squadmate interaction, PUBG Mobile or BGMI is slowly bleeding out its soul.

1. Mechanic That Rewrites the Rules

Originally meant to offer players a second chance in intense fights, the Self-Revive Kit now feels like a gameplay exploit disguised as a feature. The issue isn’t just about balance. It’s about how this single item breaks the fundamental rhythm of PUBG’s core loop.

Picture this: you’re a skilled solo player diving into a squad match. You outmaneuver and knock an enemy. You see them crawling, only to realize, yep, they have a Self AED. You can’t push in time because they’ll get up behind cover. You adapt and shift targets, knock another enemy. Same story. Another Self AED.

You’ve now knocked two players, played the situation tactically right, but they both live. Meanwhile, you’ve burned through your ammo, taken some hits, and now the same players, whom you should’ve eliminated, regroup and push you with the upper hand. This isn’t just frustrating. It’s demoralizing. The better player is being punished for playing better.

2. Solo Player’s Death Sentence

What used to be a fair 1v4 situation, difficult but winnable with sharp aim and smart movement, has become a war of attrition against second chances. Self-Revives reward players for being knocked. They stretch fights unnecessarily, deny deserved kills, and push smart solo or duo players out of the meta entirely.

This is worse than dying to a camper. At least the camper is playing by the rules, holding an angle, setting a trap. Self AEDs are like get-out-of-jail-free cards that ignore the high-stakes nature of the game. PUBG always thrived on its brutal consequences. The Self-Revive Kit sterilizes that tension.

3. Breaking the Game’s Identity

Team dynamics suffer too. Why rush to revive your teammate when he can pick himself up? Why stick together when everyone’s packing their own lifeline? The squad cohesion crumbles. The sweaty, adrenaline-packed moments of risk, when you peek a corner to save your last man, are replaced with passive, solo-reliant gameplay.

When recall systems were introduced, some players had similar concerns, but recalls still required risk, coordination, and timing. To bring a teammate back, you had to survive and often fight your way through pressure-filled scenarios. It demanded skill and awareness, and most importantly, it followed the game’s logic. Self-revive, on the other hand, shortcuts all of that tension. It turns a squad-based shooter into a string of solo recoveries that erode the very reason to play as a team.

4. Final Thoughts

This isn’t just about one feature. It’s about philosophy. PUBG Mobile’s brilliance came from its punishing realism and emotional highs. Every knock mattered. Every revive was a gamble. The Self AED flattens those stakes. It prioritizes casual forgiveness over competitive integrity.

If this continues, the players who made PUBG what it is, the ones who enjoy the grind, the clutches, the 1v3s, will walk away. And what’s left behind will be a shell of a game, full of second chances but devoid of the stakes that once made it great.

If the Self AED must exist, it should be limited strictly to solo matches, where a second chance feels more justified. There’s no teammate to revive you, no recall system to fall back on. In that context, the mechanic can offer meaningful redemption without disrupting the game’s core team-based dynamics. Anywhere else, it simply doesn’t belong.

In related news, check out the 5 most anticipated upcoming games, including GTA 6, Marvel’s Wolverine, 007: First Light, and more.

POCO vs Redmi: Key Differences You Should Know

By

-

Nov 5, 2025

You’ve likely heard of Redmi and POCO, which are two Xiaomi-family brands. But while both sit under the umbrella of Xiaomi, people often wonder whether both are basically the same. However, they follow distinct strategies and have their own identities in the market. So here’s a look at exactly how POCO differs from Redmi, and which type of buyer each brand suits best.

1. Brand Positioning & Strategy

POCO F8 Pro

Xiaomi created Redmi way back in 2013, while POCO is a relatively new brand that spun off back in 2018. Ever since its inception, Redmi has played the role of Xiaomi’s value focused brand. It serves smartphones across the entry level and mid range segments, with the aim of making capable smartphones more accessible. A typical Redmi phone would offer a decent battery size, balanced specs, and a price tag that caters to a broader market audience.

POCO, on the other hand, started as a sub-brand of Xiaomi and has evolved into a semi-independent brand. While the brand also offers some affordable devices, POCO’s main focus is performance-driven smartphones for price-sensitive users. The brand’s messaging often centres on “flagship-level hardware at affordable cost” or “performance first” rather than feature-rich luxury. So POCO models are often a popular choice for mobile gaming enthusiasts.

2. Features & Price Trade-Offs

Redmi K90 Pro Max

While both brands share supply chains, hardware, firmware and manufacturing infrastructure with Xiaomi, there are notable differences in how they allocate resources and differentiate themselves. For example, POCO phones often push higher refresh rate displays, near flagship level processors, performance oriented cooling systems, while making trade offers such as fewer camera refinements or a slightly less premium build quality.

In contrast, Redmi devices offer a stronger balance between performance and features. You’ll often find less aggressive pricing than POCO’s bottom line strategy. This could have you see compromises on “high-end performance” to maintain better margins or have wider availability and distribution.

3. Target Audience & Positioning

Redmi K90 in purple

POCO is positioned more towards performance-centric users, especially those who care about high refresh displays, larger RAM/storage, faster chipsets, and are somewhat willing to accept trade-offs (in build materials, camera tuning, etc.) for value.

Meanwhile, Redmi targets a broader mass market audience. Top notch specs isn’t the focus here, just a good value for money smartphone that offers great features and decent design. Redmi often appeals to those who want balanced features across camera, battery, software and value.

4. Final Thoughts

POCO C85

In the decision between POCO and Redmi, the key is understanding what you prioritize. If you want blistering hardware, maximum value and you’re comfortable with a few trade-offs, then POCO is likely the better fit. If you prefer a more balanced smartphone experience with good performance, better cameras, and stronger ecosystem support, then Redmi is the more sensible choice.

Unfortunately, the lines between the two brands have blurred in the recent past as Redmi also releases high powered smartphones, while POCO also makes budget flagship phones and entry level devices now. You’ll often find both companies launching the same smartphone under different rebrands, with the key difference sometimes being just the design and look.

-

Nov 5, 2025

OPPO Find X9 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra represent the pinnacle of Android innovation in 2025. Both are flagship devices aimed at power users who demand excellence in design, camera technology, and performance. This comparison is crucial because it pits OPPO’s most advanced MediaTek-powered phone against Samsung’s Snapdragon-driven productivity beast, revealing which one truly delivers the ultimate flagship experience.

Key Features:

Feature	OPPO Find X9 Pro	Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra	Winner
Battery & Charging	7500 mAh, 80W wired, 50W wireless	5000 mAh, 45W wired, 15W wireless	OPPO
Display & Brightness	6.78″ AMOLED, Dolby Vision, 3600 nits	6.9″ AMOLED 2X, HDR10+, 2600 nits	OPPO (better HDR & color)
Camera System	Triple lens, 200 MP periscope, Hasselblad tuning	Quad lens, dual telephoto, 200 MP main	Samsung
Performance & Features	Dimensity 9500 (3 nm), ColorOS 16	Snapdragon 8 Elite (3 nm), DeX, S Pen	Samsung
Value for Money	~$800	~$1300 premium pricing	OPPO

1. Design and Display

Build and Feel:
Both phones embrace premium craftsmanship, but they differ in character. The Find X9 Pro’s aluminum frame and curved glass body exude elegance and comfort, making it ideal for users who prioritize a sleek, ergonomic feel. In contrast, the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s titanium frame feels more robust and industrial, appealing to those who value durability and luxury. OPPO’s slightly thicker design houses a larger battery, while Samsung’s S Pen slot adds a practical edge. The Find X9 Pro feels more futuristic and fluid, while the S25 Ultra leans toward professional utility and resilience.

Display Quality:
The Find X9 Pro features a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED panel with Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and up to 3600 nits peak brightness, an outstanding setup for media lovers. Samsung counters with a larger 6.9-inch Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X display with 2600 nits brightness, superior anti-reflective coating, and crisper QHD+ resolution. While Samsung wins on resolution and clarity, OPPO’s color tuning with HDR Vivid and Dolby Vision support gives it an edge for cinematic visuals. The Find X9 Pro offers a warmer, richer experience, whereas the S25 Ultra delivers precision and sharpness suited for creators.

Verdict:
Both displays are world-class, but they cater to different preferences. The OPPO Find X9 Pro shines for immersive content and rich contrast, while the Galaxy S25 Ultra dominates in brightness and clarity.

For pure media enjoyment, OPPO feels more visually engaging; for productivity and accuracy, Samsung takes the lead.

2. Specifications

Performance:
The Find X9 Pro’s Dimensity 9500 chipset holds its own against Samsung’s Snapdragon 8 Elite, but the latter still leads in raw performance. The Oryon CPU cores and Adreno 830 GPU in the S25 Ultra offer unmatched gaming and multitasking power, especially for demanding apps. However, OPPO’s chipset is highly efficient and delivers smoother thermal management. The Find X9 Pro provides exceptional day-to-day responsiveness, but the Galaxy S25 Ultra edges ahead in benchmark consistency and AI-driven optimizations. Samsung’s DeX and UWB features also extend its practical power in professional workflows.

Battery and Charging:
OPPO pulls ahead decisively here. Its 7500 mAh silicon-carbon battery outlasts Samsung’s 5000 mAh pack by a wide margin. Combined with 80W wired and 50W wireless charging, the Find X9 Pro sets a new standard for battery endurance. Samsung’s 45W wired and 15W wireless speeds feel modest in comparison, though its efficiency and adaptive power management are excellent. OPPO’s battery technology not only charges faster but also retains capacity longer over time, ideal for heavy users or travelers.

Verdict:
The Galaxy S25 Ultra is a powerhouse for pure performance, but OPPO’s Find X9 Pro wins in energy innovation.

For users valuing battery life and charging speed, OPPO’s engineering advantage makes it a more practical everyday flagship

3. Camera

Main and Secondary Lenses:
The Find X9 Pro combines a triple-camera system with Hasselblad tuning for authentic color science, while Samsung uses a quad-lens setup that focuses on versatility. The S25 Ultra’s dual telephoto lenses—3x and 5x—give it a zooming edge, while OPPO’s 200MP periscope delivers sharper portraits and detail at mid-range. OPPO’s 50MP ultrawide lens also produces cleaner edges and better HDR processing in low light. The S25 Ultra excels in zoom range and video recording (up to 8K), whereas the Find X9 Pro impresses with cinematic tone mapping and Dolby Vision HDR recording.

Selfie Camera:
OPPO’s 50MP front camera dwarfs Samsung’s 12MP shooter in resolution and detail, producing superior clarity for vlogs and high-resolution selfies. Samsung, however, uses HDR10+ and better facial tone mapping, delivering more balanced and natural results under harsh lighting. OPPO’s front-facing PDAF system gives it faster focus and crisp detail in motion.

Verdict:
The Galaxy S25 Ultra remains the more versatile camera phone overall, especially for zoom and professional-grade shooting. Yet, the Find X9 Pro produces more cinematic results and excels in front-camera performance.

For creators who prioritize color and dynamic range, OPPO feels more expressive; for zoom and precision, Samsung reigns.

4. Pricing

The Find X9 Pro is priced around $800, while the Galaxy S25 Ultra starts near $1300, a significant $500 gap. This difference reflects Samsung’s additional features like the S Pen, DeX mode, and longer software support. However, OPPO delivers nearly the same level of innovation at a much lower cost, making it a tremendous value proposition.

Verdict
The Galaxy S25 Ultra is the ultimate all-rounder, but its premium cost may not justify the incremental advantages for most users. The OPPO Find X9 Pro, offering flagship-level performance, superior charging, and exceptional cameras, stands out as the smarter buy for users seeking flagship power at a reasonable price.

5. Conclusion

Both flagships bring distinct strengths: Samsung’s S25 Ultra doubles as a productivity tool with S Pen, DeX, and UWB support, while OPPO’s Find X9 Pro pioneers next-gen battery tech and Dolby Vision video recording. OPPO also integrates satellite connectivity on higher variants, hinting at a future-ready design.

Verdict:
The Galaxy S25 Ultra is the choice for professionals and creators who need versatility, stylus control, and unmatched zoom performance. The OPPO Find X9 Pro, meanwhile, feels more balanced, offering incredible battery life, an elegant design, and stunning color science at a lower price.

For most users, OPPO’s Find X9 Pro delivers flagship brilliance without the flagship price tag.

Recent reports have revealed that Huawei is gearing up to launch an ultra-thin phone called the Huawei Mate 70 Air in China. According to a tech blogger, the company will begin its pre-orders tomorrow (Nov. 6) and make it available for purchase starting Nov. 11. At the same time, a new Weibo post has revealed several details about the said device.

Huawei Mate 70 Air specifications (rumored)

According to the tipster, the Huawei Mate 70 Air has a 6.9-inch display with a single punch-hole and an 18.8:9 aspect ratio. Previous reports have revealed that it features a quad-curved screen, offering a highly immersive viewing experience for multimedia and gaming.

The ultra-thin device measures only 6.6mm and is a bit hefty, weighing around 208 grams. This is because it packs a 6,000mAh+ battery, but a previous leak revealed that it houses a 6,500mAh battery. Speaking of the battery, the device will have support for 66W fast charging, ensuring quick power refills even for heavy users.

As per previous reports, the Mate 70 Air is expected to ship with Harmony OS 5.1 and soon be treated with the latest Harmony OS 6.0 upgrade. It is expected to arrive in two configurations, such as 12GB+256GB and 12GB+512GB, but a recent leak claimed that it may also come in a 16GB RAM option for power users.

The Huawei Mate 70 Air’s processor is still under wraps. There is some uncertainty about whether the device is a 5G or 4G LTE model. The Mate 70 Air is expected to arrive in shades like Golden Black, Feather White, and Silver Brocade. However, there is no information about the device’s price yet.

In related news, Huawei is expected to announce the next-generation Mate 80 series of flagship phones later this month in China. Likely, the brand may unveil the Mate X7 foldable phone alongside it, expanding its premium device lineup for 2025.

Redmi is preparing the Redmi Turbo 5 series of smartphones, which may include two models: the Turbo 5 and Turbo 5 Pro.

According to the tipster, the Redmi Turbo 5 Pro is a mid-range performance-focused smartphone driven by a MediaTek Dimensity 9-series chip. This is a stark contrast to Redmi using the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 to power the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro.

The leak reveals that the Redmi Turbo 5 Pro will feature a 1.5K LTPS flat display integrated with an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. The screen will have large, rounded corners, complemented by a metal mid-frame. For durability, it will offer full-level water resistance. Like the previous generation, it will continue to sport a minimalist design.

The Turbo 5 Pro is said to be equipped with symmetrical dual speakers. It will draw power from a huge battery of around 9,000mAh capacity and offer 100W charging. The rest of its details are under wraps.

The Redmi Turbo 5, which has already bagged the 3C certification in China, is expected to launch before the end of this year. However, there is no information about the launch timeframe of the Turbo 5 Pro. It remains to be seen whether the Turbo 5 Pro will debut in its usual expected launch timeframe of Q2 2026 or earlier than its previous generation.

Oppo K15 Turbo series details leaked

According to DCS, Oppo is currently testing next-generation K-series phones with Snapdragon 8-series chipsets. While the previous generation offered a 6.8-inch screen on the K13 Turbo and K13 Turbo Pro, the new leak suggests that their successors will have different screen sizes.

The leak suggests that the Oppo K15 Turbo will have a smaller 6.59-inch display and the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4. On the other hand, the K15 Turbo Pro will feature a larger 6.78-inch LTPS display with a 1.5K resolution. This device will feature the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip.

While the Oppo K15 Turbo aims to balance performance and size, targeting users who prefer a more compact design, the larger model is said to come with a bigger battery and focus on high performance with a large display.

According to reports, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, built on TSMC’s N3P process with Oryon CPU architecture, will feature 2x 3.8GHz and 6x 3.32GHz cores alongside an Adreno 840 GPU running at around 1.2GHz. It scores about 3.3 million on AnTuTu and 3000/10,000 on Geekbench 6, with roughly 100 fps in the Aztec 1440p test. Performance matches the 8 Elite in CPU but slightly trails in GPU power, offering improved efficiency and stability.
