Xiaomi confirms its next flagship will keep the rear display

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

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.”

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.

Samsung’s XR headset finally launching on October 21

After months of leaks, teasers, and shifting timelines, Samsung has finally set a date for its long-awaited XR headset, codenamed Project Moohan. The company just confirmed that the mixed reality device will be unveiled during its “Worlds Wide Open” Galaxy Event on October 21 at 10 PM ET, streamed live on YouTube. The wait’s finally over.

The launch was previously rumored for late September but got quietly pushed back, fueling speculation that Samsung wanted to fine-tune both the hardware and its marketing pitch.

The Project Moohan headset runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 chip, built to handle everything from VR to AR with fluid motion and minimal latency. It runs Android XR, a new platform developed with Google that leans heavily on multimodal AI for hand- and eye-tracking, gesture control, and likely integrates Google AI.

On the visual side, leaks point to dual micro-OLED panels with a crisp 3,552 × 3,840 resolution. For context, the panels on the Apple Vision Pro have a resolution of 3660 x 3200 pixels.

Samsung isn’t framing Project Moohan as just another headset—it’s pitching it as the next step for Android in spatial computing. Think productivity tools, Play Store apps reimagined in 3D, and immersive media experiences that rival what Apple’s $3,499 AR/VR headset offers. Analysts expect this could give the entire XR market a boost, with shipments projected to jump by nearly 40% next year.

Hands-on demos from earlier this year revealed how it looks and functions, though final specs like field of view or battery life are still under wraps. If all goes to plan, the headset should start shipping before the end of the year.

October 21 could mark a turning point for Samsung’s XR ambitions—and perhaps Android’s biggest move yet into mixed reality. Whether Project Moohan can live up to the hype, though, we’ll know soon enough.

Samsung’s alternative for bigger batteries in S26 series could be limiting network usage

Samsung’s upcoming One UI 8.5 update was expected to be a mild refresh, but new leaks from the Galaxy S25 Ultra firmware suggest it’s hiding something more interesting — a smarter, more efficient way to save battery. Alongside a few subtle design tweaks, a new “Network Battery Saver” feature has surfaced, and it could quietly help your phone last longer without you having to touch a thing.

Samsung One UI 8.5 leak

According to a deep dive by Android Authority, the feature uses Samsung’s “Personal Data Intelligence” system — the same one behind features like Now Brief — to learn your habits and cut down on network activity when your phone’s idle. Essentially, it figures out when you’re asleep, relaxing at home, or just not using your device much, and automatically limits background network access to reduce drain.

One line in the leaked code sums it up neatly: “Save battery by limiting network performance when your phone isn’t likely to be used, such as when you’re sleeping.” Another mentions that users can control how this feature behaves: “Network battery saver uses Personal data intelligence to determine when to apply network performance limits… You can manage the apps and services that use Personal data intelligence in Settings.”

It’s an opt-in feature, so you’ll need to enable Personal Data Intelligence first. Once active, it should help cut power consumption from background syncs, notifications, or network polling — the little things that slowly drain your battery overnight. With relatively smaller batteries and slower charging speeds on Galaxy flagships compared to their Chinese rivals, smarter power management could make a noticeable difference.

The update is expected to launch alongside the Galaxy S26 series in Q1 2026, with rollouts for existing flagships like the Galaxy S25 series likely to follow shortly after.

For all the talk of flashy AI features lately, Samsung’s approach here feels refreshingly practical — using intelligence not for gimmicks, but to squeeze more life out of the same battery.

Apple’s new 14-inch MacBook Pro M5 packs 24-hour battery life, starts at $1,599

Apple’s refreshed 14-inch MacBook Pro is official, and it’s all about endurance and efficiency. The new model, powered by the company’s M5 chip, promises up to 24 hours of battery life — the longest yet on a MacBook Pro — without bumping up the starting price. It’s available for pre-order now, with shipping set for October 22.

Under the hood, the M5 brings serious upgrades. Apple says the new chip delivers 20% better CPU performance and up to 3.5x faster AI processing thanks to an improved Neural Engine. Graphics also see a healthy boost, with 1.6x faster rendering and memory bandwidth now pushing past 150GB/s. In short, it’s built for people who multitask hard — from developers to video editors and 3D artists.

SSD speeds have reportedly doubled too, cutting load times for big projects or photo libraries. And that 24-hour battery claim? It’s likely tied to lighter workloads, but even half of that would be impressive in the real world.

The rest of the hardware sticks to what works. There’s a stunning 14-inch Liquid Retina XDR display that peaks at 1,600 nits, a six-speaker setup with spatial audio, and a 12MP webcam with Center Stage. You also get three Thunderbolt 4 ports, HDMI, an SD card slot, a headphone jack, and MagSafe 3 for charging.

macOS Tahoe runs the show, bringing new “Apple Intelligence” features like live translation in Messages and FaceTime, plus smarter automations through the Shortcuts app.

Apple’s also leaning on sustainability again — the chassis uses 100% recycled aluminum, and nearly half of the materials are recycled overall. The packaging is now fully fiber-based.

Pricing starts at $1,599 for the 16GB/512GB base model, with higher-tier options reaching $1,999 for 24GB RAM and 1TB storage. A 70W USB-C charger comes in the box, though European buyers may see different packaging due to regional rules.

Apple upgrades the Vision Pro with an M5 chip and a new Dual Knit Band

Apple made a surprise announcement today, unveiling the Vision Pro headset powered by the company’s newly announced M5 chip. The refreshed model replaces the M2 version that debuted in 2023, and it also comes with a new Dual Knit Band and the latest visionOS 26 software.

Apple Vision Pro (M5) Specifications

The biggest change here is under the hood. The M5 chip features a 10-core CPU, 10-core GPU, and a 16-core Neural Engine. Apple claims the headset now renders about 10 percent more pixels on its custom micro-OLED displays compared to the previous generation. 

The displays still push over 4K resolution per eye, around 23 million pixels in total, but now support refresh rates up to 120Hz, up from 100Hz before. Apple is still using the R1 chip introduced with the original model to process input from 12 cameras, five sensors, and six microphones.

Meanwhile, the improved Neural Engine performance reportedly helps in features like generating Personas and transforming photos into spatial scenes.

Physically, the Vision Pro now ships with a Dual Knit Band designed to better distribute weight and improve comfort. The band’s upper and lower straps are 3D-knitted as a single piece, creating a dual-rib structure for added cushioning, breathability, and stretch. 

It comes in small, medium, and large sizes, is sold separately, and remains compatible with the original Vision Pro.

The Vision Pro with M5 chip is rated to deliver 3 hours of run time with the external battery pack. There’s also an upcoming Vision Pro companion app for iPad, which will let users control parts of the headset and queue new games for download remotely.

Apple Vision Pro M5 Price and Availability

Apple is keeping the updated Vision Pro price the same as its predecessor. It starts at $3,499 in the US for the base 256GB model, and is also 512GB and 1TB configurations. 

Vision Pro (M5) will go on sale from October 22 in Australia, Canada, mainland China, Hong Kong, France, Germany, Japan, Singapore, the UAE, the UK, and the US. Apple says South Korea and Taiwan will be next, though there’s still no word on broader global availability.

iPhone Fold’s hinge to cost only $70–80 to make — much lower than previously expected

Apple’s long-awaited entry into the foldable phone space is finally taking shape, with the iPhone Fold expected to arrive in 2026. But the real buzz this week isn’t about its design or specs — it’s about its hinge. According to a new report, Apple has managed to make the hinge dramatically cheaper to produce, which could give the company a big profit boost while keeping its trademark premium pricing intact.

Reliable analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says the iPhone Fold’s hinge is expected to cost just $70 to $80, lower than the previously estimated $100 to $120, thanks to Foxconn’s optimized assembly process. Most of the hinges — around 65% — will reportedly come from a joint venture between Foxconn and Shin Zu Shing, while Amphenol will handle the rest. Down the road, Luxshare-ICT could join the supply chain after 2027, helping drive costs even lower. Kuo calls the hinge a “new battleground for system assemblers,” suggesting competition will only intensify as more players join in.

The hinge is a crucial piece of any foldable phone — it defines both the feel and the durability. By cutting costs here, Apple can either enjoy wider margins or, less likely, pass savings to consumers. Realistically, it means Apple will have more room to invest in high-end features like a crease-resistant flexible display or improved camera hardware, all while maintaining a strong profit margin.

Pricing is still anyone’s guess, but with Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 sitting around $1,999, it’s safe to assume the iPhone Fold won’t come cheap — likely over $2,000.

As competition in the foldable market tightens, Apple’s move shows its old strategy still holds: innovate where it counts, streamline the rest, and make every part of the process pay off. The iPhone Fold might not just fold — it might redefine what premium means in a foldable phone.
