iQOO 15 hits Europe early via import

Oct 22, 2025

While many Android fans in Europe are still waiting for the latest flagships, iQOO’s latest powerhouse is already slipping through the cracks — just not officially. The iQOO 15, Vivo’s newest performance-focused smartphone, has arrived early via import sites, giving buyers a chance to grab 2025-grade specs before its European debut. But as always with gray-market imports, the deal comes with a few strings attached.

Fresh off record-breaking sales in China, the iQOO 15 is now listed on TradingShenzhen and Giztop, with prices starting around €597 for the base 12GB/256GB model and climbing to about €847 for the 16GB/1TB variant. That’s still far cheaper than flagships like the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Warranty and after-sales support are the main caveats. TradingShenzhen offers limited EU repair options in Germany, Austria, and Poland, while Giztop’s policies vary by case. Buyers should double-check coverage and shipping terms before ordering.

On the bright side, the iQOO 15 is surprisingly EU-friendly. It supports LTE Band 20, wide 5G coverage, and comes with Android 16 and OriginOS, which supports multiple languages and full Google Play access. There’s no eSIM, but Android Auto and all key Google services work without issue.

Specs are top-tier: a 6.85-inch 2K OLED display with 6,000 nits peak brightness, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, and up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM with UFS 4.1 storage. Cameras include a 50MP Zeiss main, 50MP ultrawide, and 50MP 3x periscope, while the 7,000mAh battery supports 100W wired and 40W wireless charging. Check out the full details of the iQOO 15 here.

For those who don’t mind skipping official channels, the iQOO 15 delivers serious flagship value. Just remember — you’re trading price for peace of mind.

Oct 22, 2025

OnePlus China President Li Jie has officially announced that the upcoming OnePlus 15 will mark a new chapter in the brand’s camera journey. Through his social media post, Li revealed that the OP15 will debut Oppo’s LUMO imaging system, positioning it as OnePlus’ most advanced photography-focused phone yet. Here’s a look at the details confirmed by the brand.

OnePlus 15 to feature Lumo Imaging technology

According to Li, the Oppo Lumo imaging system represents the highest level of imaging technology within the Oppo Group. He added that the OnePlus 15 will deliver the best photographic performance in the brand’s history, focusing on depth, light, and color authenticity. Although the partnership with Hasselblad has concluded, the signature elements such as color philosophy, aesthetic tone, and key camera modes like Master Mode and wide aspect ratio have been retained, ensuring the signature OnePlus visual experience remains intact.

The OnePlus 15 features a 50- triple camera system, which includes a 3.5x periscope telephoto lens equivalent to an 85mm golden portrait focal length. It supports an advanced image processing setup with Pro XDR, full focal-range high-definition output, 4K 120fps Dolby Vision recording, and ultra-clear live photos.

According to reports, the OnePlus 15 will feature a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-700 primary camera with OIS support. It will be paired with a 50-megapixel OmniVision OV50D ultra-wide snapper and a 50-megapixel Samsung JN5 periscope telephoto camera.

As far as other specs are concerned, the OnePlus 15 sports a 6.78-inch BOE X3 display with 1.5K resolution and 165Hz adaptive refresh rate. Under the hood, it runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor and a redesigned Glacier cooling system featuring dual capillary layers for improved heat dissipation. Powering the device is a massive 7,300mAh battery that supports 120W fast charging and 50W wireless charging.

The phone is expected to launch globally in November. A recent report claims that the device will be priced at 949 pounds sterling (~$1,260) for the 16GB+512GB version.

OnePlus 15 Price Leak Hints at More Affordable Flagship Than OnePlus 13

Oct 22, 2025

The next gen OnePlus flagship is right around the corner, bringing cutting edge specs and the latest OxygenOS 16. While a price hike isn’t uncommon in annual high end devices, a fresh rumor hints at the OnePlus 15 being more affordable than last year’s OnePlus 13 once again.

OnePlus 15 Price Leak: Flagship Performance at Lower Cost?

Over the last couple of weeks, multiple reports claimed that the OnePlus 15 will have a slightly cheaper price tag than its predecessor. Now, known tipster Arsène Lupin has revealed this pricing detail for the UK market. In our previous report, OnePlus was expected to launch the OnePlus 15 for around 3,999 Yuan (roughly 560 US Dollars). This would make it around 500 Yuan/70 US Dollars more affordable than the OnePlus 13, with Lupin’s tweet also hinting at a similar story for the overseas market.

The OnePlus 15 with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage will reportedly launch in the UK for 949 Pounds Sterling. In comparison, the same storage configuration for the OnePlus 13 costs 999 Pounds sterling, which roughly brings a 67 US Dollar difference. Unfortunately, the tipster did not reveal the pricing details for the entry level 256GB model. But this modest price cut should help make it more attractive in markets outside of China as well.

OnePlus’ decision to make its flagships more affordable and target gaming is apparently inspired by the success of the iQOO 13 in China. Packing the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, it will be a powerhouse for everyday and intense gaming. Apart from downgrading the resolution from a 2K panel to a 1.5K display, the camera system is also bringing in the in house DetailMax Engine, which replaces Hasselblad’s tuning. All of this likely allowed OnePlus to achieve a lower price tag.

For photography, the device will be equipped with a 2.5x telephoto lens. However, the brand is yet to confirm the exact camera sensors.

The Redmi K90 is also confirmed to house a massive 7,100mAh battery with 100W wired charging. However, it lacks wireless charging support.

ASUS has announced the Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Special Edition of its TUF Gaming Radeon RX 9070 XT graphics card, made in collaboration with AMD and Call of Duty. The card was first shown at the Call of Duty NEXT event in Las Vegas on September 30. It features the Black Ops 7 insignia with orange accents in the signature Black Ops style. This limited-edition model will be available at select retailers worldwide and comes bundled with a digital copy of the standard PC version of the game. The Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 debuts on November 14th, 2025.

ASUS TUF Gaming Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Edition AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT

The TUF Gaming Radeon RX 9070 XT is built on AMD’s latest RDNA 4 architecture and includes 16GB of VRAM. It supports AMD Software with ML-powered FSR 4 upscaling technology, bringing AI-based performance and sharper visuals to over 85 supported games. It also includes DisplayPort 2.1 outputs that allow for high resolution and high refresh rate displays.

ASUS has focused heavily on cooling and durability. The RX 9070 XT uses three 11-blade Axial-tech fans that push steady airflow through an optimized fin array. The 0dB technology allows the fans to stop completely during light workloads for silent operation. Wide vents on the aluminum backplate help heat exit the card efficiently.

Users can switch between performance and quiet modes with a physical Dual BIOS switch, without using extra software. For more control, ASUS GPU Tweak III software provides easy tuning, fan adjustments, and hardware monitoring.

Instead of regular thermal paste, ASUS uses a phase-change GPU thermal pad that melts with heat to fill gaps and improve heat transfer. This design boosts cooling and lasts longer than traditional materials. The card also includes a metal exoskeleton for rigidity, dual-ball fan bearings for longer life, and a GPU holder to prevent sagging.

Oct 22, 2025

Back in March this year, Thailand’s NBTC authority approved the Poco F7 Ultra, which went official later in the same month. In a new development, the Poco F8 Ultra has been spotted on the NBTC certification platform, indicating that it may launch earlier than the previously expected timeframe of March 2026.

Poco F8 Ultra NBTC certified

As can be seen above, the Poco F8 Ultra with model number 25102PCBEG has appeared in NBTC’s database. As usual, the NBTC listing has not revealed anything significant about the device’s specifications.

The model number is similar to the Redmi K90 Pro Max’s 25102RKBEC, where “RK” seemingly refers to Redmi’s K-series. On the other hand, the letters “PC” in the F8 Ultra’s model number 25102PCBEG refer to Poco. Therefore, it appears that the Poco F8 Ultra could be a rebranded version of the K90 Pro Max.

The early appearance of the F8 Ultra at the NBTC certification suggests that it may debut withi this year or by early 2026.

Poco F8 Ultra specifications (rumored)

Redmi K90 Pro Max - 2.1 speaker — Redmi K90 Pro Max

Considering that the Poco F8 Ultra could be a rebranded K90 Pro Max, it could be equipped with a 6.9-inch OLED screen with support for 2K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The device will run on HyperOS 3-based Android 16 and feature an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor.

The F8 Ultra could be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, paired with up to 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage. The K90 Pro Max packs a 7,650mAh battery with 100W wired and 50W wireless charging. There’s a possibility that the F8 Ultra could have a slightly smaller battery.

For selfies, the F8 Ultra may feature a 20-megapixel front camera, and its back panel could be equipped with a 50-megapixel OmniVision 950 main camera, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 50-megapixel periscope camera with 5x optical zoom and OIS support. It may also feature a 2.1 speaker system and an IP68/69-rated body.

Reebok’s Smart Ring Debuts with F45 to Track Health, Sleep, and Recovery

Oct 22, 2025

Reebok has launched its first fitness wearable, the Reebok Smart Ring, as part of a new global partnership with F45 Training, one of the world’s fastest-growing fitness communities. The partnership makes Reebok the official provider of footwear, apparel, and wearables for F45’s coaches and members.

The Reebok Smart Ring, priced at $249 in the U.S., tracks training, recovery, and everyday wellness in one simple view. Made from titanium, it monitors heart rate, sleep, activity, and recovery through built-in sensors, then combines everything into a single One Score on the Reebok Fitness App. The idea is to make health data easier to understand and actually useful for daily training.

The ring runs on a rechargeable lithium polymer battery that lasts 5 to 7 days depending on use and takes less than 2 hours to charge. It connects using Bluetooth 5.1, stores up to 7 days of data, and is water-resistant up to 5ATM. It’s also built to handle a wide temperature range from -10°C to 52°C (14°F to 125.6°F), making it reliable in most conditions.

To make sure it fits comfortably, Reebok offers a ring sizing kit before purchase. Buyers are asked to wear the sample ring for at least 24 hours to find the right size. Once confirmed, they receive a $10 coupon toward their Smart Ring order. The sizing kit is a final sale item and cannot be returned.

Reebok says the Smart Ring is made for people who want performance insights without the bulk of a watch. The sensors inside measure body rhythms in real time, showing trends and personalized tips through the app.

“This partnership with F45 connects two brands built on movement and community,” said Reebok CEO Todd Krinsky. “We’re creating products and experiences that bring people closer to the energy of fitness culture.”

F45 CEO Tom Dowd called the Smart Ring and partnership “a major step in helping people train smarter and stay connected to their progress.”

Vivo X300’s Zeiss magic: compact flagship outperforms the Galaxy S25 Ultra

The Vivo X300 uses Samsung’s 200MP ISOCELL HPB as its main sensor, which measures 1/1.4″ in size. This is slightly smaller than the Galaxy S25 Ultra‘s ISOCELL HP2 (1/1.3″). Due to their ultra-high resolutions, the actual pixel sizes on both sensors are quite small, meaning image quality heavily depends on image processing. That makes the camera comparison between the Vivo X300 and S25 Ultra worth watching — which phone handles noise better and captures more detail?

Vivo X300 (left) vs Galaxy S25 Ultra (right)

Leaker Ice Universe shared a series of side-by-side photos on X, comparing samples from both phones shot under different lighting conditions. Before diving into the results, it’s worth noting that the ISOCELL HPB is a brand-new sensor being used by Vivo for the first time, while Samsung has spent several generations refining its processing around the HP2. The HP2 is also a bit larger, so expectations for the S25 Ultra naturally remain higher.

But the results tell a different story. In daylight and detail-heavy scenes, the X300’s shots appear noticeably sharper and more vibrant, with less noise and more natural contrast. Vivo’s Zeiss-tuned optics and state-of-the-art image processing seem to be doing the heavy lifting.

The difference becomes more obvious upon closer inspection, where the Vivo X300 and its Pro sibling deliver more color-accurate results, while Samsung’s output looks flatter by comparison. As Ice Universe remarked in one post, “From this, I am even more convinced that even if Samsung were to adopt a 200MP telephoto sensor now, it would not be able to defeat Vivo.” He concluded bluntly: “Samsung’s cameras have no future.” While that statement might sound harsh, rumors surrounding the S26 Ultra’s camera setup suggest expectations should indeed remain modest.

With a global launch just around the corner, the Vivo X300 could be a serious alternative to the $1,300+ Galaxy S25 Ultra — especially for those who prefer a smaller phone without compromising on camera quality.

Oct 21, 2025

ASUS‘s latest mini PC is a powerhouse in AI computing. The Ascent GX10 was just launched with a tiny form factor, but the internals pack cutting edge features that make it more powerful than your average workstation, thanks to Nvidia’s GB10 superchip. So here’s what we know.

Meet the ASUS Ascent GX10 Mini PC

The Taiwanese PC giant’s Ascent GX10 was just announced with a small footprint, measuring just 5.9 x 5.9 x 2.0 inches in dimensions. But despite its tiny build, the mini PC houses impressive horsepower. It is equipped with the Nvidia GB10 SoC with 10 Cortex-A925 and 10 Cortex-A725 cores with 1,000 TFLOPS of AI performance, which has ASUS label it as a “personal AI supercomputer”.

ASUS is targeting professional users with this device, especially for users who work with AI models. With the Nvidia superchip, one can work with such models locally. That’s not all, this SoC is coupled with a whopping 128GB of LPDDR5X RAM. You also get four M.2 2242 NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSDs for storage. While the 1,000 TFLOPS is a big number, the actual output might vary considering its size. Regardless, the Ascent GX10 mini PC should be able to deal with large amounts of data.

One can even pair multiple models to boost the performance. So the ASUS Ascent GX10 mini PC is well suited for developers, AI researchers, and data scientists. The company ensures good thermal performance thanks to its advanced engineering and twin 140 x 80mm fans that draw air through the bottom. This release also arrives after the brand unveiled the ExpertCenter PN54-S1, which is another mini PC that is powered by AMD’s Ryzen AI 200 series processors.

Xiaomi Self-Install Smart Lock: fits over your existing mechanism and makes any door smarter

Oct 21, 2025

Xiaomi is quietly preparing to launch a new addition to its smart home lineup — and this one might be its most practical yet. The Xiaomi Self-Install Smart Lock has appeared on the company’s global website, hinting at an upcoming international release. The idea is simple: turn your regular lock into a connected one, without tools, drilling, or a pricey installation service.

This smart lock is designed to fit over your existing mechanism, upgrading it rather than replacing it. It comes in two main parts — a compact motorized lock unit and a separate keypad. Xiaomi says installation takes just a few minutes, making it a great option for renters or anyone who isn’t exactly handy with power tools. Despite its simplicity, the lock promises wide compatibility with standard door types while keeping your original keyhole intact.

You’ll have multiple ways to unlock it. There’s a built-in fingerprint reader with a claimed 99.3% accuracy rate, a keypad for passcodes (including temporary ones for guests), and full app control via the Mi Home app. That means you can lock or unlock the door remotely over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth — or even ask your smart assistant to do it for you. There’s also a traditional key option in case your battery dies.

Other smart touches include auto-locking, real-time status updates, and alerts for things like tampering or when family members arrive home.

The real highlight, though, is Matter support, allowing it to work seamlessly with Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, and more. That makes it one of the few affordable locks that can integrate across multiple ecosystems, not just Xiaomi’s own.

Pricing hasn’t been revealed yet, but given Xiaomi’s usual strategy, expect something in the $150–200 range. With the product already listed on the company’s global website, a launch seems close.

For anyone who wants smart home convenience without changing their entire door setup, Xiaomi’s Self-Install Smart Lock could be a surprisingly easy win — simple, smart, and ready for the connected age.
