In the cutthroat flagship smartphone race, keeping things cool has become just as important as raw power. That’s exactly where iQOO is aiming to make a mark with its upcoming iQOO 15, a device that’s shaping up to be a true powerhouse for gamers. The company is teasing a new and more effective cooling system designed to help the iQOO 15 get the most out of the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 during sustained heavy workloads.
According to official posts on Weibo, iQOO’s highlight this year is the 8K (8000 mm²) VC Ice Dome cooling system — reportedly the largest vapor chamber ever used in an iQOO phone. For context, last year’s iQOO 13 boasts a “7K Ultra VC Cooling System”. The company says this new design brings a 47% improvement in heat dissipation compared to its predecessor, thanks to the larger VC heat sink and a double-layer high thermal conductivity graphite sheet.
iQOO product manager @戈蓝V noted that the VC heat sink of the iQOO 15 is more than three times the size of the iPhone 17 Pro Max’s.
But iQOO isn’t stopping at cooling. Every variant of the iQOO 15 will come with a factory-applied anti-reflective protective film, something the company claims is unique in the industry. It’s a premium addition aimed at improving screen visibility under bright light.
The display itself also sounds impressive. The iQOO 15 uses a 2K Samsung Everest panel built on M14 luminous material, the latest generation from Samsung that offers a 40% boost in luminous efficiency. Peak brightness figures are equally eye-catching: 1000 nits (manual), 2600 nits (full-screen), and a blinding 6000 nits (local peak) — great for HDR content or gaming outdoors.
Other features include IP-rated waterproofing, ultrasonic fingerprint recognition, dual symmetrical speakers, and a 091640 X-axis vibration motor for more precise haptic feedback.
The iQOO 15 is set to debut on October 20 at 19:00 in China with the brand’s new Q3 gaming chip, and if the numbers hold true, it could become one of the most technically advanced gaming phones this year.

As RedMagic is gearing up to launch its latest flagships, the Red Magic 11 Pro series, the brand’s latest teasers aren’t just hyping Snapdragon muscle and water-cooling wizardry—they’re flexing some surprisingly sharp camera chops.
Red Magic 11 Pro series-
A recent Weibo post reveals a triple rear setup that includes two 50MP cameras: likely primary and ultrawide. So far, the brand has shared a few main camera samples taken in different lighting conditions, and honestly, they look impressive.
The photos have gone through compression when they were uploaded to social media, so we cannot judge how detailed the shots originally were. But they do give us a clear picture of the phone’s ability to handle different colors and lighting conditions. Upon close inspection, the images appear free from visible grain or noise, which can likely be attributed to the image processing improvements the brand has made over the years.
RedMagic touts these image samples as proof that the 11 Pro+ “can also take blockbuster photos.” That said, it’s never surprising for a brand to share curated samples and fuel the hype. We will share our personal experience with the phone as soon as possible.
RedMagic has confirmed the 11 Pro’s launch on October 17 in China, marking its first foray into water-cooled smartphones. Powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5—boasting 20% CPU and 23% GPU gains—the device targets esports enthusiasts with a redesigned ICE cooling system featuring liquid flow for sustained performance during marathon sessions. Early leaks hint at an 8,000mAh battery, ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, and under-display selfie cam for a notch-free 6.8-inch AMOLED display at 144Hz.
In the push to make gadgets faster and more efficient, silicon might finally have met its match. Researchers at Fudan University in Shanghai have developed a working prototype that merges atomically thin materials with traditional silicon chips — potentially setting the stage for a new era in electronics.
Led by Professor Chunsen Liu, the team managed to integrate a monolayer-thick 2D memory module directly onto a conventional silicon CMOS chip. The study, published in Nature, details how their so-called “Atom2Chip” process overcomes the fragility of 2D materials such as monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂).
To make the integration possible, the researchers created a full-stack on-chip process that bonds the 2D layer to silicon’s uneven surface without damaging it. A protective package shields the ultrathin layer, while a cross-platform interface allows smooth data transfer between the 2D circuits and standard CMOS components.
The result is a 1-Kb 2D NOR flash memory chip that isn’t just a lab demo — it’s fully operational. It runs at 5 MHz, achieves 20-nanosecond programming and erasing speeds, and operates with low energy consumption. In performance and density, it already surpasses comparable silicon-only memory, offering a glimpse of chips that could make future devices slimmer, faster, and more power-efficient.
As silicon manufacturing nears its physical limits, 2D materials like MoS₂ offer atomic-level precision for further miniaturization. Yet, efforts to merge them with silicon have long been hindered by material instability and process incompatibility. Fudan’s approach demonstrates a practical solution — even executing complex instruction-driven operations on a hybrid chip that bridges both technologies.
Although this prototype focuses on memory, the same architecture could be extended to logic gates and processors. That could eventually lead to ultra-thin wearables with long battery life or AI accelerators that stay cool under heavy workloads.
Mass production and cost scaling remain significant challenges, but the breakthrough marks a critical step toward the “angstrom era” of chip design. As global research teams race to keep Moore’s Law alive through new materials, Fudan University’s success shows that the next leap in computing might be built not just in nanometers — but in atoms.

Battery life has always been a key battleground for smartphones, and Oppo’s upcoming Find X9 Pro seems ready to take that fight seriously. Ahead of its official debut on October 16, early tests suggest the device may have pulled off something impressive: lasting longer than Xiaomi’s 17 Pro Max — even though both carry the same 7,500mAh battery capacity.
According to results shared by Novice Evaluation, the Find X9 Pro managed 7 hours and 18 minutes in a continuous usage test. That puts it just behind the iQOO Z10 Turbo+ (7 hours 31 minutes, with an 8,000mAh battery) but ahead of Xiaomi’s 17 Pro Max, which clocked 6 hours and 49 minutes. Even the regular Find X9, with its smaller 7,025mAh battery, edged slightly past Xiaomi at 6 hours and 51 minutes. For context, the iPhone 17 Pro Max trailed far behind at 5 hours and 26 minutes — a reminder that Android phones still dominate in raw endurance.
A separate round of testing from WhyLab showed similar results. The Find X9 Pro reportedly lasted 9 hours and 30 minutes, compared to the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max’s 8 hours and 24 minutes — a difference of over an hour. What’s interesting is that the Xiaomi uses Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, while Oppo’s flagship runs on MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500. It’s possible that Oppo’s software tuning, particularly with ColorOS 16’s power management, is playing a big role in the results.
Users on X also took notice. One post summed up the sentiment well: “Both have the same 7500mAh Battery & Xiaomi has 8e Gen 5 which is more efficient than 9500 and still performs worse. This is actually dependent on how the software is being Optimized.”
Of course, these are still pre-release results, and variations in testing conditions or upcoming HyperOS updates could shift the balance. But Oppo’s showing here is impressive nonetheless.

Vivo is set to launch its X300 series — the X300 and X300 Pro — today (October 13). Ahead of the official unveiling, the company has revealed official hands-on images and camera samples of the phone, giving an idea of what to expect.
Starting with the hands-on shots, the overall design remains similar to the X200 Pro, featuring a circular camera island with Zeiss branding. The flash module is located outside the camera deco, just like last year. Inside the camera deco, there are three lenses, with the top-left one being the periscope telephoto.
The sides are flat with slightly rounded edges for a comfortable grip, but the back glass is completely flat this year, unlike the X200 Pro’s panel, which was slightly curved near the edges. The back panel also appears to have a matte finish. Overall, the X300 Pro has a more boxy design compared to its predecessor.
One of the highlights of the X300 Pro series is the 200MP ISOCELL HPB sensor (1/1.4″) powering the 85mm periscope telephoto. Now, let’s take a look at the image samples Vivo has shared in advance.
The main camera uses the Sony LYT-828 sensor, an upgrade over the LYT-818 used in the X200 Pro, although the sensor size remains the same at 1/1.28″.
On the inside, the phone boasts the Dimensity 9500 chipset and a 6,510mAh battery — an upgrade over the Dimensity 9400 and 6,000mAh unit of the predecessor — and is paired with 90W wired charging. Alongside the Dimensity 9500, the phone also includes two dedicated imaging chips: VS1 for pre-processing and V3 for post-processing. On the front, it’s rumored to pack a 1.5K 120Hz BOE Q10+ AMOLED panel with 1.1mm equilateral bezels.
The X300 series is set to hit the shelves on October 17, and we will share our hands-on impressions as soon as possible.
