Honor GT2 expected to pack Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip and massive 9,000mAh battery

A new leak out of China suggests Honor is working on a phone that could set a new benchmark for battery endurance. The rumored device, expected to be part of the upcoming Honor GT2 series, might pack a staggering 9,000mAh battery, and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor.

Honor GT
Honor GT

The leak comes from tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo, who described it as a “Snapdragon 8 flagship performance phone” with an unusually large battery. While the post didn’t mention the exact chipset, the timing lines up with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 launch — the follow-up to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 found in the original Honor GT. That makes it likely this leak points to the GT2, which is expected to focus on raw performance. The phone was previously rumored to pack an 8,800mAh battery.

The jump from the GT’s 7,200mAh to roughly 9,000mAh hints at an improved silicon-carbon battery tech, which allows for greater energy density without ballooning the size. Charging speeds are expected to hit 100W, keeping refills surprisingly quick for such capacity. The rest of the rumored specs paint a familiar flagship picture: up to 24GB of RAM, 1TB of storage, a 1.5K OLED display, and an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner.

As for launch timing, insiders suggest a late-2025 debut in China, likely between November and December. There’s still no word on whether the GT2 line will see an international release.

Big batteries aren’t new territory for Chinese brands — companies like Vivo, OnePlus, and Xiaomi have successfully normalized 7,000mAh in 2025 — but Honor’s rumored 9,000mAh milestone would push things further. If true, it could redefine what “all-day battery life” means for power users.

Who Should Buy Meta’s Ray-Ban AI Display Smart Glasses?

Following a big hype and surprising success of the Meta Ray-Ban glasses, the company went on to unveil a new smart wearable. During the Connect 2025 event, the Meta Ray-Ban AI Display Smart Glasses were unveiled, bringing a series of big new features like built-in display and gesture controls via the new Neural Band. But owing to its premium price tag and niche features, it isn’t suited for everyone. So here’s the audience Meta is targeting with these smart glasses.

Meta Ray-Ban AI Display Smart Glasses

The Early Adopter & Tech Enthusiast

For many first generation or new categories of gadgets, tech giants are often targeting enthusiasts who are willing to be early adopters. So if you’re someone who loves being first in line for emerging hardware, the Ray-Ban Display offers a tangible window into “computing on your face.”

Its in-lens 600×600 display, Neural Band gesture interface, and AI overlay features make it more than just a novelty. At the moment, it is a developer’s testbed and an easy conversation piece. There are some trade-offs to its functionality, but tech enthusiasts are usually more excited to try out the latest products.

Creators & Visual Storytellers

Even with the original Meta Ray-Ban Glasses, many creators and other creative professionals took advantage of the camera sensors for seamless video recording. So once again, photographers, video creators, and journalists will appreciate how the functionality is improved with the built-in display that can now act as a viewfinder.

Rather than tapping and guessing, you can preview your framing, see post-shots instantly, and even zoom or pan via gesture controls when paired with the Neural Band. This feedback loop tightens the creation process and improves the overall experience.

The Working Professionals

For those whose work demands immediate access to bite-sized information, like field technicians, presenters, content creators, or sales professionals, the glasses offer glanceable data without the disruption of pulling out a phone. The battery life still leaves much to be desired, but the visual overlays of directions, message previews, live captions, and context cues while you work hands-free are undoubtedly useful in many fields.

Frequent Commuters & Navigation Users

Another big area Meta focused on with the Ray-Ban AI Display Glasses was with commute. If you often walk, cycle, or use public transit and want hands-free directions, insights, or translation while keeping your eyes on the path ahead, these glasses make sense. Apart from your usual commutes, the gadget can be helpful when traveling to a new city or even during international trips. The transition lenses also adapt between indoor and outdoor environments, making them practical for mixed settings.

Users Who Value Privacy & Discreet Displays

Unlike many AR glasses that leak light or produce “rainbow artifacts” visible to others, the Meta Ray-Ban Display’s waveguide glass is designed with a reflective geometry that directs light toward the wearer only. That means onlookers are less likely to see what’s appearing in your lens. For users in meetings, public transit, or shared spaces, this privacy feature is a significant plus.

Who Might Be Better Off Waiting?

Battery life remains a limitation, and the glasses only manage to deliver around six hours of operations even with mixed use per charge. So heavy users that need all day battery might wish to steer clear of this one. Owing to its $799 price tag, it is basically as expensive as a flagship smartphone like Apple’s iPhone. Meaning, cost-sensitive buyers would also need to wait till the technology becomes more affordable.

LG Essential Series debuts with fridge, washing machine, AC, and oven for Indian homes

LG Electronics India Ltd. has launched the LG Essential Series, a new line of home appliances developed using insights from Indian families. It is the company’s first major consumer initiative since the public listing of LGEIL.

The range was created after studying over 1,200 families across India. Built on the ideas of “Made in India” and “Made for India,” each appliance is designed to handle the needs of Indian households, combining good performance, durability, and practical design at an affordable price.

The LG Essential Series includes four main products: a Double Door Refrigerator, a Fully Automatic Top Load Washing Machine, a Room Air Conditioner, and a Convertible Oven.

Double Door Refrigerator

This refrigerator uses frost-free technology to remove the need for manual defrosting. It features Smart Mode, which automatically adjusts cooling based on seasonal changes. The vegetable storage space is 20 percent larger than previous models, ideal for families that buy groceries in bulk.

Fully Automatic Top Load Washing Machine

This washing machine is built to handle local conditions such as dust, humidity, and low water pressure. It comes with Low Pressure Fill technology for effective washing even when water pressure is low. The ProShield Motor with a BMC (Bulk Moulding Compound) Cover protects against dust, insects, and moisture. The IPX4-certified water-resistant control panel ensures it works well in humid areas.

Room Air Conditioner

This air conditioner includes Energy Manager+ with a “You decide your bill” feature, allowing users to control energy use. The Diet Mode+ feature helps adjust cooling and airflow for comfort and efficiency. It is designed for small to medium rooms such as bedrooms or studies.

Convertible Oven

Samsung halts One UI 8 rollout for Galaxy S22 series

Samsung’s Galaxy S22 series was all set to enjoy a fresh coat of software polish with the One UI 8 update, based on Android 16. But just days after the rollout began, the company has quietly hit pause. The update has been pulled in regions like Europe and India, leaving users wondering what went wrong this time.

Samsung Galaxy S22 5G
Samsung Galaxy S22

One UI 8 started rolling out last week for the Galaxy S22, S22+, and S22 Ultra, bringing a refined interface, updated multitasking features, tweaks to the camera and reminder apps, smoother notifications, and the latest security patch. It also marked what’s expected to be the last major Android upgrade for the 2022 flagship lineup.

However, users on X (formerly Twitter) noticed that the update had suddenly disappeared from Samsung’s servers. A post by @Koram_Akhilesh pointed out the missing firmware, suggesting that Samsung may have pulled it after discovering a stability issue. A few who managed to install it early have reported faster battery drain, though nothing too severe. Still, it’s enough to justify a pause.

If you were quick enough to update, there’s no need to panic — your device should continue working normally, aside from possibly reduced battery life. For everyone else, it’s probably best to wait. Samsung will resume the halted rollout once bugs are patched.

The company hasn’t issued an official statement yet, but its track record suggests a fixed build will be back soon. When it returns, expect improved performance and stability over the initial build.

Honor Magic 8 Pro takes on iPhone 17 Pro in daring night photography challenge

Honor isn’t holding back with its next flagship. Ahead of the big reveal, the company has teased the Magic 8 Pro in a bold new promo, pitting it directly against Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro in a nighttime photography test — filmed from a helicopter, no less. The clip, shared across Chinese social media, shows both phones capturing cityscapes from high above, pushing their night modes and stabilization to the limit.

The timing is no coincidence. The Honor Magic 8 and 8 Pro are set to launch on October 15, 2025, and the company clearly wants to make a statement before the reveal. The video shows an Honor rep leaning out of a chopper, snapping shots of city lights while turbulence shakes the frame. Both phones manage to hold their own, but the comparison aims to highlight Honor’s progress in low-light performance — a field long dominated by Apple and Samsung.

In side-by-side shots, the Magic 8 Pro seems to pull ahead in sharpness and dynamic range. Distant lights and building textures look crisper, and the colors pop without the oversaturation. Honor’s new imaging system uses an AI-based enhancer that automatically fine-tunes details after capture, bringing out extra clarity without losing the natural tone of the scene. The iPhone 17 Pro, on the other hand, delivers its usual balanced and consistent results, leaning more toward realism than flair.

Honor has kept full specs under wraps until launch, but teasers confirm a serious camera setup: a 200MP 1/1.4-inch periscope telephoto lens (f/2.6), a 50MP main sensor (1/1.31-inch, f/1.6), and another 50MP ultra-wide. The system is tuned for pro-level flexibility and may position the Magic 8 Pro as a genuine rival in the flagship camera race. Powering it all is a rumored 7,200mAh silicon-carbon battery with 120W fast charging — easily one of the biggest capacities in its class.

With Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro already on sale globally, Honor’s airborne stunt is both a marketing move and a show of confidence. Whether the Magic 8 Pro can truly match Apple’s consistency remains to be seen, but the message is clear: the Magic 8 series outperforms the latest iPhones in low-light photography by a significant margin.

According to the leak, the Honor Magic 8 Mini will feature a 6.31-inch flat OLED display with a 1.5K resolution, offering a compact yet premium viewing experience. For security, the phone will include an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor, a feature usually seen on flagship-grade models.

The device is expected to be powered by a Dimensity 9500 series chipset, although an earlier report suggested it could use the Dimensity 9500+, an overclocked version of the same processor for better performance. While the leak does not reveal details about the battery size, charging speed, RAM, or storage, it does confirm that the handset will support wireless charging.

On the imaging front, the Magic 8 Mini is said to feature a 200-megapixel primary camera paired with a periscope telephoto lens, aimed at delivering high-quality zoom photography.

Other compact phones in the making

Vivo X300 Pro European model hands-on reveals 5,440mAh battery instead of 6,510mAh

Vivo’s new X300 Pro is racing toward a global launch, and early hands-on previews are already stirring conversation. Fresh from its debut in China, the Zeiss-branded camera flagship has started appearing in the hands of international reviewers, sparking plenty of comparisons with the Chinese variants and last year’s X200 series. But amid the excitement, one detail is catching attention — the global model’s smaller battery.

Vivo seems to be speeding things up this year. Instead of waiting until early 2026, the X300 series is set to go global as soon as next month. The brand even brought in more international media for its Shanghai event, a clear sign it’s aiming big with this launch. Review units are rolling out quickly too — YouTuber Ben Sin from Ben’s Gadget Reviews already posted a hands-on video that starts with an unboxing featuring a camera kit and teleconverter. He also compared the X300 Pro directly with the X200 Ultra, noting improvements in performance, camera, and other aspects.

The real highlight, though, is the camera setup. Vivo’s new Zeiss optics — including a 200MP telephoto lens and the updated Blueprint V3+ image processor. If first impressions hold true, this could easily become one of 2025’s top camera phones.

But the good news stops there for European buyers. Around the 9:50 mark of Ben Sin’s video, it’s revealed that the EU version of the X300 Pro packs a 5,440mAh battery — quite a drop from the 6,510mAh unit in China. This isn’t the first time Vivo has had to scale back; the same thing happened with the X200 Pro due to EU transport limits that cap single-cell batteries at 20Wh, similar to US regulations. The change leaves only a modest 240mAh gain over last year’s global model.

Aside from that, the global variant mirrors its Chinese sibling — OriginOS 6 comes intact, along with 90W wired and 40W wireless charging. Prices for early imports start around $940.

Nubia Z80 Ultra photography kit turns it into a retro camera

As the smartphone photography race heats up, Nubia is bringing something fresh to the table with its upcoming Z80 Ultra, launching on October 22 in China. The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5-powered flagship isn’t just another spec-heavy device — it’s also getting a throwback-inspired accessory that turns it into a retro-style camera. This add-on photography kit includes swappable lenses and a tactile shooting experience, appealing to enthusiasts who crave vintage charm with modern performance.

Building on the Z70S Ultra’s accessory system, Nubia’s new “professional photography kit” keeps a familiar design but adds a few meaningful upgrades. It attaches to the phone using a quick-release grip, instantly transforming the Z80 Ultra into a compact camera. There’s a dedicated shutter button on the top plate with a satisfying mechanical click, along with extra dials and buttons that give users a hands-on shooting feel — something longtime photographers will appreciate.

The standout feature, though, is the set of interchangeable lenses and filters that fit over the Z80 Ultra’s primary camera. Nubia includes two lenses in the kit — one for sharper portraits and another that enhances macro or telephoto shots. There’s also an optional lens that mimics an ultrawide perspective. A bundled filter adds creative flexibility, and Nubia has hinted that more filters could arrive later. Together, these accessories are designed to complement the phone’s triple-camera setup (18mm ultra-wide, 35mm main, and 70mm telephoto), which already delivers detailed, high-contrast images.

The photography kit will debut alongside the Z80 Ultra on October 22, though the pricing hasn’t been disclosed yet. Given that the Z70S Ultra’s kit was reasonably priced, this one could follow a similar path. For anyone who misses the feel of classic cameras but still wants cutting-edge mobile tech, Nubia’s latest experiment might be worth keeping an eye on.

Major upgrades and new additions in HyperOS 3

Xiaomi HyperIsland is perhaps the biggest visual upgrade to HyperOS 3, showing live activities directly at the top of the screen. This feature works similarly to Apple’s Dynamic Island, but Xiaomi’s implementation supports up to three islands and floating windows for better multitasking.

There are new icons with more vivid color palettes, rounded corners, and a polished look, making them visually appealing and easier to recognize. HyperOS 3 also brings essential upgrades to the lock screen, such as AI Cinematic Lock Screen and AI Dynamic Wallpapers, which transform a traditional lock screen into an immersive, cinematic visual display.

HyperOS 3 introduces a new suite of AI features assisted by Xiaomi HyperAI, including smart screen recognition and DeepThink mode. Users can write social media captions for images, generate insights using the DeepThink feature, and choose from four different writing styles. Xiaomi has also added AI Speech Recognition, which enables users to reduce background noise, convert speech to text during recording, and generate an instant summary of the recording. The AI Search feature enables users to summarize search results and search on-device content.

Xiaomi has also improved cross-device connectivity with HyperOS 3, particularly with Apple devices, allowing them to run Xiaomi apps on iPad, run multiple apps from Xiaomi phones on a Mac in desktop-style windows, and unlock a Xiaomi phone with Touch ID or Face ID. The iPhone can also locate a Xiaomi phone by connecting to a Xiaomi hotspot. HyperOS 3 also brings dozens of under-the-hood improvements to offer a smoother experience while using less power.

Xiaomi leads global wearable band market in Q2 2025, surpassing Apple & Huawei

The global wearable band market just got a new frontrunner, and it’s not Apple. According to the latest Q2 2025 report from research firm Omdia, Xiaomi has leapfrogged its rivals to take the top spot in worldwide shipments, fueled by a staggering 61% year-on-year growth. Huawei followed in second place, while Apple, despite its premium presence, slipped to third.

Xiaomi Smart Band 9

Total shipments hit 50.2 million units in the quarter, up 13% year over year. This reflects strong demand for fitness trackers and smart bands. Entry-level wearables like the Xiaomi Band and Redmi Band series are dominating global shelves, especially as users seek smarter features without the premium smartwatch price tag.

Omdia predicts an 8% growth rate for the market in 2025 and 9% in 2026. But the real shift is happening beneath the hardware. While basic bands are driving volume, value is consolidating around smartwatches. These accounted for just 32% of Q2 shipments but generated 69% of the market’s total value. In short, fewer people are buying watches, but they are spending more on them.

global wearable band market in Q2 2025

This is pushing brands to rethink the game. Instead of chasing specs alone, companies are doubling down on ecosystems. Xiaomi is leaning into HyperOS to connect its wearables tightly with its broader device portfolio. Huawei is building an all-in-one health ecosystem via the Huawei Health app, which includes hardware, data analytics, and subscription services.

Apple saw a 1% dip in shipments, while Samsung posted modest growth. India’s Noise rounded out the top five, highlighting the region’s increasing role in the global wearables race.

The takeaway is clear. The wearable band war is no longer just about who makes the best gadget. It is about who can keep users inside their ecosystem the longest. Xiaomi appears to have figured that out, at least for now.
