iQOO today confirmed it will launch its next flagship, the iQOO 15, in India in November. The device is set to debut in China on October 20.

The news was confirmed by iQOO India on X (formerly Twitter). While the company hasn’t revealed the exact launch date yet, the announcement confirms that India will be among the first markets outside China to get the device.

The iQOO 15, as expected, will be a performance-centric phone like its predecessor. It is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip along with an upgraded Q3 gaming chip designed to enhance graphics performance and support 144fps gameplay at 2K resolution.

To handle the resulting heat, iQOO has added a new 8K vapor chamber (VC) Dome cooling system. The company says this new setup uses a double layer of high-conductivity graphite, which reportedly improves cooling efficiency by 47 percent compared to the previous generation.

The VC heat sink inside the iQOO 15 is also said to be three times larger than the one in Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro Max, according to iQOO’s product manager.

The display specs are equally ambitious. The phone will use a 6.85-inch 2K 8T LTPO Samsung “Everest” panel that supports a 144Hz refresh rate and reaches up to 6,000 nits of peak local brightness.

Other confirmed features include wireless charging, a battery exceeding 7,000mAh, and an IP69 rating for dust and water resistance. It will also feature a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor for more reliable biometric authentication.

While the Indian variant is expected to mirror the Chinese model, iQOO might make small adjustments, such as changes in storage options or battery capacity.

In the world of professional monitors, where color accuracy and detail can make or break a project, Asus is gearing up to launch something serious. The ProArt PA32KCX, a 32-inch 8K display first teased back at CES 2025, is finally making its way to market this October. It’s built for the kind of creators who live and breathe precision—think editors, designers, and photographers who won’t settle for less.

The mini-LED display packs an 8K (7680 x 4320) resolution, which means everything from high-res video editing to photo retouching looks razor-sharp. Asus isn’t just chasing pixels here, though—the Mini-LED backlight features 4,032 local dimming zones, pushing brightness up to 1,200 nits peak and a consistent 1,000 nits full-screen, ideal for HDR workflows. You also get 95% Adobe RGB, 97% DCI-P3, with Delta E <1 color accuracy right out of the box. Each unit goes through a detailed factory calibration before shipping.

Additional features:

There’s even a built-in motorized colorimeter that handles automatic recalibration, with support for both Calman and Light Illusion software—no external gear needed. On the connectivity side, it’s stacked: dual Thunderbolt 4 ports (96W charging), DisplayPort 2.1, HDMI, a USB hub, plus Picture-in-Picture, Picture-by-Picture, and a KVM switch so you can control multiple systems with one setup. Asus also includes a detachable hood to cut down reflections during grading or color work.

To top it off, buyers get a three-month Adobe Creative Cloud subscription worth about $397, redeemable until August 2026. The monitor supports HDR10 and HLG formats, giving professionals more flexibility in how they preview their content.

The Asus ProArt PA32KCX won’t be for everyone, but for studios or solo creators who need absolute accuracy, it’s shaping up to be one of the most capable displays ever made. With pre-orders expected soon, this could easily become the new gold standard for 8K production workflows.

Here’s how RedMagic’s first active liquid cooling system would work inside RedMagic 11 Pro series

By

Oct 16, 2025

RedMagic is taking smartphone cooling to the next level. At its recent Shenzhen conference, the company unveiled what it calls the world’s first active liquid cooling system designed for phones—a setup that borrows tricks from gaming PCs and AI servers. The goal is simple: keep performance steady even under heavy loads, without the throttling that tends to hit after a few minutes of intense gameplay.

Unlike the vapor chambers most phones use (which are technically passive systems), RedMagic’s new setup actually circulates coolant through a tiny ceramic micropump. The liquid moves heat away from the chipset and toward a fan-cooled radiator, combining both liquid and air cooling in what the company calls a “dual-track” design. It’s a big engineering challenge, and RedMagic claims it took “thousands of design iterations to reach the final design.”

The pump itself uses piezoelectric ceramics, and the internal coolant channels are laser-cut at the micron level to ensure smooth flow. The fluid—an antifreeze-grade fluorinated liquid—can handle extreme temperatures from –40°C to 70°C, offering stability similar to what’s used in high-end AI servers. To make it durable, RedMagic says it employed low-temperature bonding and anti-puncture membranes, helping the system pass tens of thousands of drop tests without leaks or failures.

You’ll first see this in action on the upcoming RedMagic 11 Pro series, powered by Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip. In internal tests, the phone reportedly ran Wuthering Waves at ultra-high graphics and 90fps for two straight hours without dropping frames. According to the brand, the 11 Pro series will support over 200 titles optimized for 2K resolution and 144Hz displays at launch.

RedMagic’s motto is “Win More Games,” and this might be the hardware that makes it possible. As mobile gaming continues to blur the line with desktop-level experiences, active liquid cooling could become the next big leap. For now, it’s RedMagic leading that charge—and keeping things cool while doing it.

Oct 16, 2025

[Update]
While both OnePlus and President Li Jie have posted about the upcoming OnePlus 15 and OnePlus Ace 6 launches on their official Weibo accounts, it remains uncertain whether the company will actually launch the devices tomorrow or merely announce their official launch dates. Chinese media outlet CNMO suspects the latter.

Given the unusually short notice, a full launch tomorrow appears unlikely, though nothing can be ruled out at this point.

Original article follows.

OnePlus has finally confirmed launch dates for its upcoming flagship phones, and it’s rather spontaneous. OnePlus China President Li Jie took to Weibo today to announce that the OnePlus 15 and OnePlus Ace 6 will launch together in China on October 17, which is tomorrow.

A new teaser image shows both the OnePlus 15 on the left and the OnePlus Ace 6 on the right. Here’s what we know so far about the two devices.

OnePlus 15

The main highlight here is the 165Hz OLED screen with 1.5K resolution. Interestingly, Li Jie recently explained why the company avoided going for a 2K panel like some rivals.

Under the hood, the phone runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, making it the first OnePlus device to debut the chip.

For cameras, the OnePlus 15 may pack a 50MP Sony LYT-700 main sensor, a 50MP periscope telephoto with Samsung’s JN5 sensor, and another 50MP ultra-wide camera. It will be fueled by a 7000mAh battery that supports 100W wired and 50W wireless charging.

OnePlus Ace 6

The OnePlus Ace 6 takes a slightly different route. It’s rumored to feature a 1.5K BOE OLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor.

It will be powered by last year’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, paired with an even larger 7,800mAh battery that supports 120W fast charging. Other highlights include a metal middle frame, a possible IP68 rating, and ColorOS 16 based on Android 16 out of the box.

OnePlus reveals why it chose a 1.5K display for OnePlus 15

By

-

Oct 16, 2025

OnePlus is gearing up for the launch of its next flagship, the OnePlus 15, in China later this month, and the company has officially kicked off its marketing blitz. Earlier this week, OnePlus held an event to show off what might be the phone’s biggest selling point: its display.

The OnePlus 15 will feature a BOE X3 OLED panel with a 1.5K resolution and, more impressively, a 165Hz refresh rate, the highest ever on an OLED smartphone. OnePlus says it already has a few optimized games ready to take full advantage of that lightning-fast screen.

However, this resolution and refresh rate combo seems to have created some debate among fans. Why not go for a full 2K panel like most premium flagships? According to Li Jie, President of OnePlus China, the answer isn’t about cost-cutting but technical limitations.

In a detailed Weibo post, Li explained that no display manufacturer has yet managed to produce a 2K OLED screen that can sustain 165Hz. And since OnePlus is locked in on 165Hz refresh rate, 1.5K is the only feasible option.

And no, OnePlus isn’t cutting costs

And if you think that means OnePlus is cheaping out, Li says that the new BOE X3 panel actually costs more than the previous-generation X2 display used on the OnePlus 13.

Li also shed light on why the smartphone industry seems to have hit a wall at 120Hz for most flagship displays. Until now, the highest resolution available for ultra-high-refresh panels, 165Hz and beyond, was limited to 1080p. Moving beyond that required solving a series of serious engineering challenges, including:

Pixel charging times that weren’t fast enough
Screen driver chips that couldn’t handle the computing load
Sync issues between touch input and display refresh
Image instability caused by rapid switching
Shorter panel lifespans due to increased pixel activity

According to Li, OnePlus and BOE have tackled these head-on by reengineering the display at both hardware and software levels. The company says it redesigned the entire screen circuit and developed new proprietary driving algorithms, reducing the pixel charging time to just 1.3 microseconds.

On the hardware side, the display chip now has 1.3 times more transistors, giving it the power to maintain full-frame 165Hz operation. OnePlus also built two custom production lines—the only ones of their kind in the world, and the only ones in China—to ensure every screen is precisely calibrated at the pixel level.

Oct 16, 2025

Casio has officially unveiled the new PRO TREK PRW-B1000 series, featuring two models, the PRW-B1000-1 and PRW-B1000-5. These watches will be available later this month and are built for serious outdoor use.

The PRW-B1000 design is inspired by Yosemite’s El Capitan. Its square stainless-steel bezel reflects the vertical rock formation, while the inset dial at 9 o’clock features an indicator hand shaped like a climbing piton. The multilayered dial, large hands, and raised indexes improve visibility, and the side buttons and crown are made of metal for extra durability.

The watch uses a Dura Soft band made from CNF-reinforced rubber. CNF, or cellulose nanofiber, is a wood-based material that is strong, lightweight, and resistant to heat, cold, and cracking. The case is made from flame-retardant bio-based resin certified to UL94 V-0 standards, meaning it self-extinguishes when exposed to flame. This makes it safe for use near campfires or cooking stoves.

Power comes from Casio’s Tough Solar technology, which converts sunlight and even weak indoor light into energy. It includes triple sensors for measuring direction, barometric pressure, altitude, and temperature. The watch is also equipped with both Bluetooth and Multiband 6, ensuring accurate timekeeping anywhere in the world. Multiband 6 automatically receives radio signals from stations in Japan, China, the U.S., the U.K., and Germany.

Using the CASIO WATCHES app, users can sync the watch via Bluetooth for automatic altitude correction, Time & Place logging, and route tracking. The Location Indicator shows direction and distance to saved points. The full-auto double LED Super Illuminator lights up both the analog and digital displays for easy reading in dark environments.

The PRW-B1000 features a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating, 100-meter water resistance, and low-temperature resistance down to –10°C.

Pricing and regional availability will be announced later this month.

Xiaomi confirms its next flagship will keep the rear display

By

Rajesh Regmi

-

Oct 16, 2025

It took four years for Xiaomi to fully capitalize on the idea of a rear display in a phone. The Xiaomi 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max are the first phones since the Mi 11 Ultra to feature a secondary display on the camera module. And this time, it seems Xiaomi is finally taking the idea seriously.

In a recent livestream, Xiaomi President Lu Weibing confirmed that the company’s next-generation smartphones will continue to use the rear screen design. Xiaomi is also reportedly planning to increase its R&D investment in the coming years.

According to Lu, Xiaomi spent over 1 billion yuan developing the technology. The result is a 2.1-inch AMOLED panel that’s as good as the main screen. It has a 120Hz LTPO refresh rate, is protected by Dragon Crystal glass, supports the HDR standard, and peaks at 3500 nits of brightness.

Xiaomi 17 Pro series is a massive hit in China

This investment seems to have paid off. The Xiaomi 17 series smashed sales records in China, becoming the fastest-selling phone lineup across all price segments in 2025.

Within just five minutes of launch, it broke first-sale records, while the Pro Max variant set a new benchmark for single-day sales among domestic smartphones. Overall sales rose 20% compared to the previous generation, and the Pro series tripled its sales figures.

Functionally, the rear screen on the Xiaomi 17 Pro already does more than just look cool. It can show notifications, answer calls, display real-time photo previews, and even feature dynamic “cute pets” and AI wallpapers. It’s also surprisingly useful for everyday tasks like displaying meal pickup codes, tickets, and itinerary reminders.

Lu also hinted that Xiaomi will roll out real-time translation for the rear screen by the end of October, with monthly feature updates to follow.

Honor’s latest concept is a smartphone that moves on its own

Oct 16, 2025

At the launch of the new Magic 8 series, Honor also revealed something far more interesting. CEO Li Jian took the stage to introduce the Honor Robot Phone. As wild as it sounds, it’s exactly what the name suggests. A phone with robotic mobility.

The Robot Phone is built on three core technologies: an AI brain, robotic mobility, and professional imaging. Its highlight feature is a hidden robotic arm gimbal that unfolds with a click, allowing the phone to move and stabilize itself like a robot. It can automatically frame shots, track subjects, and even reduce shake without any human input.

What’s surprising is that the phone doesn’t look particularly robotic. There’s no obvious sign that it has a gimbal tucked inside. From the back, it looks like a regular smartphone, though the camera module is noticeably thick.

Honor Robot Phone is powered by AI

The company’s large-scale AI model, YOYO, plays a central role in this process. It reportedly understands emotions, recommends content, and manages connected devices. Honor frames this as a part of its so-called “Alpha Project,” which aims to evolve phones from simple tools into what it calls “silicon-based life partners.”

What's the future of intelligent devices?

While the industry is busy comparing the iPhone, we believe it's time to break the mold and refocus on what truly matters: creating real value for you.

If all that sounds ambitious, it is. Honor has been investing heavily in what it calls “embodied intelligence,” with new research labs focused on robotics, motion systems, and bionic design. The Robot Phone appears to be the first tangible result of that work.

For now, the device remains more of a concept than a commercial product. Honor plans to reveal more at MWC Barcelona 2026. A teaser video shows a gimbal camera that moves like a robotic head, reminiscent of commercial gimbals, but built directly into a smartphone.

Honor says users can register on its website to receive early updates and even take part in product research.
