OnePlus to share more details about the OnePlus 15 and Ace 6 tomorrow

[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.

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

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
OnePlus-15-display

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.

Casio Unveils PRO TREK PRW-B1000 Series Watches Inspired by Yosemite’s Iconic Rock Face

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.

Casio PRO TREK PRW-B1000

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

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.

Honor Earbuds 4 Specifications

The Earbuds 4 use a dual-driver setup, combining an 11mm low-frequency unit with a 6mm high-frequency driver. Both drivers use titanium-coated diaphragms that improve response speed and ensure better sound reproduction. The system delivers strong bass, clear mids, and improved treble extension.

Talking about battery life, the earbuds deliver up to 9 hours of playback on a single charge and extend to 46 hours with the charging case. They also support fast charging, offering around 3 hours of use from a quick 10-minute charge. The earbuds include USB-C charging and come with an IP54 rating for dust and water resistance.

Honor includes touch controls for volume, playback, and mode switching. The earbuds support wear detection and work with the Honor Smart Space app. The app provides features like Find My Earbuds, EQ presets, and battery monitoring.

The Earbuds 4 support fast pop-up pairing on Honor phones and are compatible with HarmonyOS, Android, and iOS. They also include a low-latency gaming mode.

Each earbud weighs 5.3 grams and uses soft, skin-friendly tips. The design closely resembles the Xiaomi Buds 5 Pro, featuring a mix of glossy and matte textures with vacuum-coated highlights. The earbuds are available in Pearl White and Starry Black.
