Samsung is bringing its latest software to the mid-range lineup. The Galaxy A35 has officially begun receiving the major One UI 8 update, bringing various new upgrades and refinements to the user experience overall. So here’s what you need to know.

One UI 8 Rolls Out for Samsung Galaxy A35 Users Globally

The Galaxy A35 is one of the most popular smartphones from the South Korean tech giant. Unlike most Chinese budget phones that offer better specs, the wider availability and accessible pricing of the Galaxy A35 made it quite popular across the globe. Now, this model is finally getting the latest Android iteration with the Android 16 OS based One UI 8 custom skin. Samsung initially rolled out the Galaxy A35 in its home market of South Korea, with a wider release finally arriving now.

Based on what we know so far, the Galaxy A35 users have just received the update in various markets like Iran, Kenya, Russia, South Africa, France, and other regions. In other words, the EMEA regions are already receiving the One UI 8 update. The download size of the software upgrade is around 2.3GB, bringing the September 2025 security patch along with the Android 16 OS.

Just recently, Samsung also announced the One UI 8 rollout schedule for the Indian market. Alongside last year’s Galaxy S24 series flagships, the company also plans to bring the update to the Galaxy A35, Galaxy A36, S23 series, and much more later this month. In related news, Samsung might be bringing back the Plus model for the Galaxy S26, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra model is rumored to get a Privacy Display feature.

Galaxy S26 Ultra’s “Privacy Display” leak describes how the feature works

Oct 3, 2025

Screens have become a common source of privacy concerns, whether it’s commuters glancing over your shoulder or co-workers catching a glimpse of sensitive information. Samsung may be preparing to address that with a new feature on its next flagship. A leak suggests the Galaxy S26 Ultra will introduce a “Privacy Display” that doesn’t just respond to your input but can also anticipate when extra discretion is needed.

The information comes from tipster Ach, who shared screenshots of the feature’s interface on X, including how Samsung plans to describe it to users. “Privacy Display” will appear as a dedicated toggle in Settings, with an “Auto privacy” option that can activate in specific situations. “Automatically use Privacy Display when you use sensitive apps and when you’re in crowded places,” the description reads.

The feature may use location data or onboard sensors for detection. A “Custom Conditions” menu is also shown in the screenshots, which will reportedly allow further fine-tuning.

One of the stronger settings, labeled “Maximum privacy,” will dim the screen beyond normal brightness levels to reduce visibility. The UI also shows controls for how notifications, lock screen content, and picture-in-picture windows behave when privacy mode is on, giving users flexibility in how much information is hidden.

There is still some confusion about how this feature works on the hardware level. A previous leak out of Korea suggested the S26 Ultra will debut a new display tech called “Flex Magic Pixel,” which can reduce the viewing angle when needed. The “Auto privacy” toggle description seems to point in that direction. A Chinese smartphone maker has already taken a different approach, using the front camera to detect prying eyes and notify the user—but Samsung appears to be developing its own solution.

It fits into broader rumors around the S26 series, which is expected to revive the Plus model and give the Ultra an upgraded M14 OLED panel with CoE tech for brighter, thinner displays. The S26 Ultra is expected in early 2026 with a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip and a mostly unchanged imaging system.

As always with leaks, details should be treated with caution. But if accurate, “Privacy Display” could be one of the few reasons for S25 Ultra owners to consider an upgrade.

Other highlights include a next-gen cooling system, a large bionic vibration motor, stereo speakers, multi-functional NFC, an IR blaster, USB-C (USB 3.2 Gen 1), and IP66 / IP68 / IP69 protection against dust and water.

Lenovo’s Affordable ThinkVision Monitor Hits India For Just Rs 12,999

Oct 3, 2025

Lenovo has just introduced its new ThinkVision monitor in India, and one of its best aspects is its price tag. The new monitor is the ThinkVision T24i-30 model, bringing notable specs for a discounted price tag right from the start. So here’s what we know.

This Budget Lenovo ThinkVision Monitor Lands in India

The Chinese tech giant has just released the ThinkVision T24i-30 monitor with a 23.8-inch IPS LCD panel. This is an anti glare display that supports FHD resolution, 16:9 aspect ratio, 1000:1 contrast ratio, 99 percent sRGB color gamut, and 4ms response time. The budget monitor comes with Eyesafe Display 2.0 tech and an ergonomic user experience with swivel support. Connectivity options include VGA, DP 1.2, HDMI 1.4, and four USB 3.0 ports.

Since it offers just a standard 60Hz refresh rate, it is more for everyday use, like browsing or work, so it’s not great for gaming. The color accuracy could also make it a solid deal for creative professionals on a tight budget. Lenovo just announced the ThinkVision T24i-30 monitor for Rs 28,141. However, the company is selling this monitor for a discounted price tag of Rs 12,999 (roughly 146 US Dollars) during the ongoing Lenovo Tech Utsav sale. This is a notable 53 percent discount, but this is likely the actual price tag, with the original only being an MRP listing.

Other additional offers include 551 My Lenovo Rewards, up to INR 20,000 bonus, along with the exchange bonus of your older PC when choosing the trade-in option. The brand is also offering student discounts and credit card cashback offers with this ThinkVision monitor. In related news, this launch also arrives a month after Lenovo unveiled the ThinkVision P40WD-40 monitor.

Oura Ring 4 Ceramic Debuts with Elegant Pastel Shades and Refined Design

By

Oct 3, 2025

The Oura Ring 4 has just received a stylish new Ceramic edition, and it might be one of the sleekest smart rings yet. This isn’t a proper successor to the Oura Ring 4, rather, it is a simple remake that replaces the stainless steel with a ceramic casing (a first for the company). So let’s have a look.

Oura Ring 4 Ceramic Debuts with Health Tracking & Stylish New Design

To recall, the original Oura Ring 4 arrived with a stainless steel body with a glossy finish. This has now been changed with a matte finish on the Oura Ring 4 Ceramic. You get bright new pastel colors, including blue, white, green, and pink. But using this material increased the weight since it now weighs around 5.1 to 8.1 grams. The interior of the ring still uses titanium, with the ring also being water resistant up to a depth of 100 meters.

Much of the advanced health trackers make a return, so you still get sensors for the skin temperature, heart rate, and SpO2 blood oxygen levels. An accelerometer can also track your movements which helps in fitness tracking activities like cycling and running. It can also track stress levels, heart health, and female menstrual cycle. The Oura Ring 4 Ceramic can be paired with the partner app for in-depth details.

On a single full charge, the smart rating can last between 5 to 8 days. You can also buy the Oura Ring 4 Ceramic with an optional charging case, which offers around five full charges. You can buy this smart ring for 499 US Dollars with the charging case set to debut later for 99 US Dollars.

Vivo unveiled the Vivo X200 and X200 Pro in December 2024 for the global market. The company followed it up with a third model called the Vivo X200 FE in July this year. While the brand is gearing up for the Vivo X300 series’ global launch, it is also said to be working on the Vivo X300 FE. In a new development, the FE model has received approval.

Vivo X300 FE EEC certified

As shown above, a Vivo device bearing the model number V2537 has received approval from the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC). The said device was previously spotted with the “Vivo X300 FE” marketing name in the IMEI database listing.

Unfortunately, nothing concrete is known about the Vivo X300 FE’s specifications. To recall, the Vivo X200 FE was a rebranded version of the Vivo S30 Pro Mini, which debuted in China back in December 2024. Therefore, the Vivo X300 FE could be a rebranded version of the Vivo S50 Pro Mini, which is expected to break cover in November this year.

Vivo-X200-FE-color-options — Vivo X200 FE

A leak that surfaced last month claimed that Vivo is working on a Vivo V50 series phone featuring a 6.3-inch display, a Dimensity 9400 series chip, a triple camera unit equipped with a periscope telephoto camera, and an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor.

While the leak did not specify the name of the device, this phone is expected to debut as the Vivo S50 Pro Mini. There is a possibility that it could be rebranded as the Vivo X300 FE globally.

While the Vivo X300 series is scheduled to go official on Oct. 13 in China, Vivo also seems to be gearing up for its global launch. The global variants of the Vivo X300 and X300 Pro have been gradually receiving approval in different countries. In the latest development, the Pro version has appeared in the database of the SIRIM certification in Malaysia.

Vivo X300 Pro SIRIM certified

As shown above, the Vivo X300 Pro, bearing the model number V2514, has been approved by the SIRIM authority. Last month, the same device was spotted with the Dimensity 9500 chip, 16GB of RAM, and Android 16 on Geekbench. In terms of certifications, the V2514 has also been approved by the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) and the certification platforms of Indonesia’s TKDN and SDPPI.

The upcoming Oppo Find X9 and Find X9 Pro phones are also equipped with the Dimensity 9500. While the X9 series is expected to debut on Oct. 16 in China, it may debut globally by the end of this month. Reports suggest that while the Vivo X300 series is scheduled to launch on Oct. 13 in China, its global launch will take place after the Find X9 series’ global announcement. Therefore, the Vivo X300 series is expected to debut in markets outside of China in November.

The Vivo X300 series launch event in China will also see the arrival of other devices, such as the Vivo Pad 5e, Vivo Watch GT 2, and Vivo TWS 5. There is no clarity yet on whether any of these devices will also debut globally.
