The listing reveals the core cluster of the upcoming tablet: one prime core, three performance cores, and four efficiency cores. It rules out the last two generations of the Snapdragon flagships. It also shows a peak clock speed of 4.21 GHz and 2.7 GHz for the efficiency cores, confirming this is the Dimensity 9500.

As for performance, the chipset scores 2,424 in the single-core test and 8,446 in the multi-core test. This is a slight improvement in performance over the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra.

The test unit packs 12GB RAM, matching the starting configuration of last year’s model. There will likely be a 16GB variant as well.

According to previous rumors, the Tab S12 Ultra is expected to retain many of the specifications from last year’s model, including a 14.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, an 11,600mAh battery, and 45W charging.

As for the cameras, users can expect a 13MP primary, an 8MP ultra-wide, and a 12MP front-facing shooter. This hardware will run One UI 9 based on Android 17 and, following Samsung’s flagship software policy, is expected to receive seven major Android OS updates and seven years of security patches.

It is also tipped to pack a battery exceeding 9,000mAh, making it significantly larger than its predecessor.

The same source previously revealed that the Neo 11S will be available in multiple configurations, such as 12GB+256GB, 12GB+512GB, 16GB+256GB, and 16GB+512GB.

Redmi K100 Pro series brings Redmi’s most advanced display technology to date

Redmi has officially lifted the curtain on one of the biggest highlights of the upcoming Redmi K100 Pro series ahead of its August 11 launch in China. The company has confirmed a new display technology that focuses on delivering sharper visuals without increasing power consumption, while also revealing several key screen specifications for the lineup.

M11 OLED and Super Pixel technology take centre stage

According to Redmi, the K100 Pro series debuts its new M11 OLED light-emitting material alongside a next-generation Super Pixel architecture. Xiaomi Group President Lu Weibing said the company began working on improving display efficiency several years ago by focusing on both the OLED material and the pixel arrangement instead of relying only on higher resolutions.

The M11 OLED material is based on fourth-generation pTSF technology and delivers a 20 percent improvement in green pixel efficiency. It also covers 90 percent of the BT.2020 colour gamut while increasing panel lifespan by 5.2 percent.

Redmi says the new Super Pixel technology adopts a full RGB layout, giving every pixel dedicated red, green and blue sub-pixels. On the Redmi K100 Pro Max’s 6.9-inch display, this results in 9.389 million sub-pixels, exceeding the count found on similarly sized 2K diamond-pixel OLED panels.

The company claims the screen can offer image quality comparable to premium 2K displays while consuming even less power than conventional 1.5K panels.

Redmi K100 Pro Max specifications confirmed so far

Redmi has also confirmed several specifications of the K100 Pro Max ahead of launch. The phone features a 6.9-inch flat display with ultra-slim bezels, a peak local brightness of 4,500 nits, a 185Hz refresh rate, and a 4,800Hz instant touch sampling rate. It is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset alongside the AI D2 graphics chip, enabling simultaneous frame interpolation and super resolution during gaming. Other confirmed features include a dedicated touch chip, gaming antenna design, and Bose-tuned audio.

It has been also revealed that the K100 Pro Max has a 9,070mAh battery with support for up to 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging. For photography, it may feature a 200-megapixel main camera, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera. The Redmi K100 Pro series is scheduled to launch in China on Aug. 11.

Xiaomi announces Mijia Wireless Floor Cleaner 5C with 1800Pa suction at $165

Xiaomi has updated its cordless floor scrubber lineup again, and the changes here are mostly about suction and runtime. The company today released the Mijia Wireless Floor Cleaner 5C in China, and it’s a wet-and-dry cleaner that can clean a large home in a single session.

Xiaomi Mijia Wireless Floor Scrubber 5C Launch Specs Price

The 5C follows last year’s 4C model, where Xiaomi has raised suction from 15,000Pa to 18,000Pa. That matches the figure on the standard Floor Scrubber 4 launched last year, and this suction level is meant to lift crumbs, dust, and pet hair in a single pass rather than requiring repeat swipes.

Hair tangling is a common complaint with these machines. As such, the 5C uses triple anti-tangle technology on its roller brush and has passed Germany’s TÜV SÜD anti-winding test. 

There’s also a 60°C hot airflow system that dries and deodorizes the roller after each use, so it doesn’t sit damp between cleanings. Xiaomi paired that with 50dB(A) operation, which stays quiet enough to run without disrupting a call or conversation in the next room.

Mijia Wireless Floor Scrubber 5C

The Xiaomi Mijia Wireless Floor Cleaner 5C is rated at 45 minutes, which Xiaomi says covers a 341-square-meter apartment in one go. It has a 780mL clean water tank and a 550mL dirty water tank to support that runtime, and the unit uses a forward-traction design meant to keep it light enough to steer with one hand. 

The 5C also uses a real-time running water system for mopping. 

Pricing and Availability

The Mijia Wireless Floor Cleaner 5C carries a modest price increase over the 4C in exchange for higher suction, longer runtime, and better hygiene features.

Xiaomi Mijia Wireless Floor Scrubber 5C Design

The Mijia Wireless Floor Cleaner 5C is priced at 1,175 yuan, which converts to roughly $174. You can purchase it from Xiaomi’s Youpin platform.

Casio launches three new retro-inspired F-B100W digital watches with smart features

Casio has announced a new line of digital watches in Japan, the F-B100W series, which integrates basic fitness tracking and smartphone connectivity into a standard retro casing. The watches are now available and are priced at ¥8,800 ($56). While they are currently listed on Casio’s Japanese website, initial inventory is already out of stock.

Casio F-B100W watches

Design Details

The appeal of the F-B100W is straightforward: it looks and operates like a standard 1980s Casio digital watch, but it includes an accelerometer and a Bluetooth module. The watch measures 8.8mm thick and weighs 26 grams. The strap is made from biomass plastic and features ventilation slits to improve comfort during continuous wear.

Casio is offering three variations of the watch. The F-B100W-1A has a black case with a standard positive LCD and retro blue, red, and yellow dial accents. The F-B100W-1B is an all-black version with a negative LCD and gray text. The F-B100W-3A comes in a muted green with turquoise accents.

For activity tracking, the built-in sensor counts steps and displays the daily total, a step graph, and goal progress directly on the watch screen. It also includes an optional inactivity alert that beeps and shows an icon if you haven’t moved in a while. For more specific exercise tracking, the stopwatch function can store up to 200 lap and split times, including the date and time of the recording.

The Bluetooth functionality connects the watch to the Casio Watches mobile app. This connection is used to automatically sync the time, transfer step data to a daily log on your phone, and adjust watch settings like alarms or the dual-time display. It also includes a basic phone finder feature.

Because it uses a standard watch battery rather than a rechargeable cell, the F-B100W has an estimated battery life of two years. It also retains standard digital watch features, including daily water resistance, five daily alarms, an hourly time signal, and an amber LED backlight with an adjustable afterglow.

In related news, Casio has recently unveiled the sporty MRW-240H series with rotating bezels, alongside the new MTP-1440DJ duo that brings a more traditional stainless steel aesthetic.

Asus Vivobook S16 Review: Built for work, entertainment, and everything in between

The AI PC era is gathering pace, with Microsoft pushing Copilot+ experiences across Windows and manufacturers responding with a new wave of AI-ready laptops. Asus has been quick to embrace this shift, refreshing its Vivobook lineup with Intel’s latest Core Ultra processors and dedicated NPUs.

Priced at Rs 1,22,990 (~$1,290) in India, the Asus Vivobook S16 (S3607AA-SH087WS) competes with premium productivity laptops from Lenovo, Dell, HP, and Acer, while inevitably drawing comparisons with Apple’s MacBook Air. After spending time with the laptop and running multiple benchmarks, here’s what the Vivobook S16 has to offer.

3Comfortable keyboard and large touchpad

The larger chassis allows Asus to include a full-sized backlit keyboard with a dedicated numpad, making the laptop especially useful for spreadsheet users and professionals working with numbers.

Typing feels comfortable thanks to good key travel and tactile feedback, while the spacious layout minimizes accidental key presses. The large Windows Precision touchpad is equally responsive and supports Asus’ Smart Gestures, allowing users to adjust brightness, volume, or media playback through simple edge swipes.

Combined with the generous palm rest area, the keyboard and touchpad deliver a comfortable experience for extended work sessions.

Casio launches three affordable MRW-240H watches with rotating bezels and sporty designs

Casio has introduced a new line of analog watches in Japan, adding the MRW-240H series to its Standard Collection. The release includes three models that share the exact same physical dimensions and hardware specifications, differing only in their specific color combinations.

Casio MRW-240H Watches

Design Details

The MRW-240H series is designed to look like traditional dive watches, but they are built primarily from resin to keep the weight and manufacturing costs low. The three available variants are the MRW-240H-1E1, MRW-240H-1E2, and MRW-240H-1E3.

The 1E1 model has a black bezel insert and a red seconds hand. The 1E2 model uses a blue and red bezel insert with a silver seconds hand. The 1E3 model features a green bezel insert and an orange seconds hand. On all three models, the rotating timing bezel includes an aluminum ring on the top surface, which can be used to measure elapsed time.

In terms of size, the watches measure 47.9 mm in length, 44.6 mm in width, and 12.3 mm in thickness. Because the case, the adjustable band, and the glass covering the dial are all made of resin, the total weight of the watch is 39 grams. The included resin band is designed to fit wrist sizes ranging from 145 mm to 215 mm.

For daily use, the watches feature 100-meter (10 ATM) water resistance, which means they can be worn while swimming or washing hands. The dial includes a standard date display. The watches run on a standard battery that has an estimated life of three years, and the internal quartz movement has an accuracy rating of ±20 seconds per month.

Pricing and Availability

All three MRW-240H variants will launch in Japan this August for ¥6,050 ($38) and are already available for pre-order through Casio’s online store.

In related news, Casio has recently introduced the MTP-1440DJ series with a classic metal design, alongside the Vintage A1000SP-7 featuring a premium full-metal construction and sapphire crystal.

Redmi Turbo 6 Max tipped to pack largest battery on Redmi phone

Redmi is reportedly working on the Redmi Turbo 6 series of performance-focused flagship smartphones. The lineup is expected to include two models, namely the standard Turbo 6 and the more powerful Turbo 6 Max. The rumor mill has been gradually revealing details about the Max variant, and the latest leak sheds light on its battery size.

Redmi Turbo 6 Max battery size tipped

According to tipster Smart Pikachu, the upcoming Redmi Turbo 6 Max is currently being tested with a 10,000mAh battery. It remains to be seen whether its battery capacity will be larger than that of the forthcoming Redmi Note 17 Pro Max (Chinese variant), which is also rumored to feature a 10,000mAh battery.

The tipster also claims that the device will feature a minimalist dual-camera setup on the rear. Some reports suggest that it may adopt a horizontal camera module, giving it a distinct look compared to the previous generation.

In the comments section of his post, the tipster mentioned that the device is slated for a January launch, a timeline that was also highlighted by tipster Digital Chat Station in a recent leak.

Speaking of Digital Chat Station, he previously revealed that the Redmi Turbo 6 Max will feature a 7-inch flat OLED display with a 2K resolution and a 3nm Dimensity 9-series chipset. While the official name of the chip remains unknown, it could be called the Dimensity 9600s.

The Redmi Turbo 6 Max is also expected to feature a metal middle frame and an IP68/IP69-rated dust and water-resistant body. For security, it is said to include an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor.

iQOO Z11 India launch officially confirmed, here’s what to expect

Last month, iQOO unveiled the iQOO Z11 Lite in India, and the brand has now started teasing another smartphone in the Z11 series for the country. A recent post on X by iQOO India CEO Nipun Marya strongly hints that the standard iQOO Z11 could be the next device to launch. Here’s what to expect.

iQOO Z11’s arrival teased

As hinted in the opening line, the first letter of each subsequent line spells out “Z11,” subtly confirming the arrival of the iQOO Z11 in India. While the company has yet to announce its key specifications and launch date, the teaser indicates that the launch is likely to take place soon.

iQOO Z11: What to expect?

Recently, an unreleased iQOO phone with model number I2514 was spotted on the Geekbench AI benchmarking platform. The listing revealed that the device is equipped with the Dimensity 7500 chip, 12GB of RAM, and Android 16.

In all likelihood, the I2514 iQOO phone could be the Indian variant of the Z11. This would be yet another Z11 model with a different chipset, as the brand has already released a Dimensity 8500-powered iQOO Z11 in China and a Snapdragon 7s Gen 4-powered Z11 in Malaysia.

According to a recent report from Gadgets360, the upcoming iQOO Z11’s chipset will be marketed as the Dimensity 7500 Turbo. On the front, it is expected to feature a curved-edge AMOLED display. The rest of its specifications remain under wraps, but it is expected to pack a large battery, similar to its counterparts in other markets.

In related news, reports suggest that the iQOO Z11 could be the last iQOO smartphone to debut in India this year. In other words, the iQOO 16, while expected to launch in China in September or October, may not make it to the Indian market this year. This is believed to be due to rising memory costs, which could make it even more expensive than the iQOO 15’s Rs 72,999 launch price.

Latest Oppo Find X10 Ultra leak hints at Find N6-level pricing and upgraded cameras

There have been reports that most smartphone brands are considering cancelling their Ultra-branded flagships due to rising memory costs. One such casualty appears to be the Xiaomi 18 Ultra, although there is no official confirmation yet. Some reports also claimed that the Oppo Find X10 Ultra could be cancelled, but a new leak suggests that may not be the case. In the latest leak, tipster Smart Pikachu has shared some information about its cameras and expected pricing.

Oppo Find X10 Ultra may cost the same as the Find N6

According to the tipster, the upcoming Oppo Find X10 Ultra is currently being tested with a 200-megapixel LOFIC large-sensor primary camera. The tipster also claims that the phone’s 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera will receive an upgraded optical image stabilisation (OIS) system.

Around a month ago, tipster Digital Chat Station claimed that the Find X10 Ultra will continue to feature dual periscope telephoto cameras. He mentioned that the prototype unit at the time featured a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera with an approximately 1/1.3-inch sensor, along with a 50-megapixel periscope super telephoto camera with an approximately 1/1.95-inch sensor, which will reportedly support 10x optical zoom. Its other cameras are said to include a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera and a 50-megapixel front-facing camera.

Oppo Find X9 Ultra

According to other leaks, the Oppo Find X10 Ultra could feature a 6.89-inch 2K LTPO BOE display with ultra-narrow symmetrical bezels and support for the BT.2020 color gamut. Under the hood, it is expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chip and a battery of around 8,500mAh. At present, there is no concrete information about its launch timeline, although it is unlikely to debut alongside the Find X10, Find X10 Pro, and Find X10 Pro Max, which are expected to break cover in September in China.

The tipster added that the Find X10 Ultra is expected to target the 10,000 Yuan (~$1,480) ultra-premium flagship segment, making it similarly priced to the Find N6 foldable phone, which starts at 9,999 Yuan.

Citizen launches three new Corso watches with Eco-Drive solar tech and colorful dials

Citizen has expanded its UK watch lineup with three new additions to the Corso series. The new models are straightforward, traditional timepieces that stand out primarily for their smaller footprint and the inclusion of Citizen’s Eco-Drive solar charging system.

Citizen Corso EW2291 watches

Design Details

The three watches are identical in their hardware and dimensions, with the only difference being the dial color. The EW2291-51Z features a purple dial, the EW2291-51X comes in pink, and the EW2291-51L has a blue dial. Citizen has opted for a 27mm silver-tone stainless steel case for these models.

In a wearable market currently dominated by bulky smartwatches that often exceed 40mm, a 27mm case is quite small. It caters specifically to people looking for a more traditional, unobtrusive watch rather than a large wrist-mounted screen.

The case is paired with a matching stainless steel bracelet that uses a standard fold-over clasp with push buttons. On the front, the dial is protected by mineral crystal. The dial layout features a standard three-hand time display alongside a small date window.

In terms of tech, the watch features Eco-Drive movement, which uses ambient light from both sunlight and indoor sources to generate and store energy. This removes the need for regular battery replacements and provides a convenient, low-maintenance ownership experience.

For durability, the new Corso models are rated for 100 meters of water resistance. This means the watches can handle standard daily water exposure, including showering, surface swimming, and snorkeling, without damaging the internal movement.

Pricing and Availability

The new purple, pink, and blue Citizen Corso models are available now in the UK for £229.00.

In related news, Citizen has recently launched a pair of elegant Eco-Drive Peyten watches with light-powered operation, alongside a refined rectangular watch equipped with solar charging and a sapphire crystal display.

Two Oppo Find X10 series models gain network access approval in China

Oppo’s next Find X flagship series is starting to take clearer shape. Fresh regulatory approvals and new details from a well-known tipster point to the Find X10 lineup landing in late September, with upgraded silicon, ambitious cameras, and some refined design touches building on last year’s models.

Digital Chat Station reports that two models from the Find X10 series, PMX110 and PMW110, have already received network access approval in China. The latter has previously been linked to the Find X10 Pro.

Both support the N79 5G band plus 2.4GHz spread spectrum communication. They’re expected to ship with ColorOS 17, an AI-heavy version of Oppo’s software that is said to include multiple on-device AI models.

The Find X10 series brings a few major upgrades. At the heart is MediaTek’s 2nm Dimensity 9600 Pro processor, a clear step up from the Dimensity 9500 used last time. Imaging is another aspect, centered around an HPC 200-megapixel ultra-large sensor. Earlier leaks from the same tipster describe the Find X10 Pro with a 6.78-inch 1.5K LTPO display that has ultra-narrow bezels and large rounded corners on all four sides.

The camera setup is said to include a 200MP main sensor (roughly 1/1.3-inch class), a 200MP telephoto lens, and a 3MP multispectral sensor. Battery capacity is rumored to go past 8,000mAh, with wireless charging, 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensing, and IP68/IP69 dust and water resistance also on the table.

For reference, the Oppo Find X9 Pro launched in October 2025 with a 6.78-inch 2772×1272 120Hz flat display, a 7,500mAh battery with 80W wired and 50W wireless charging, the Dimensity 9500 chipset, and a camera trio of 50MP wide (1/1.28″), 50MP ultra-wide (1/2.76″), and 200MP telephoto (1/1.56″).

If these latest reports hold up, the Find X10 series should bring real progress in performance, battery life, and imaging. Full specs are still missing, but the certification milestone and consistent leak details suggest Oppo is lining up a competitive late-September flagship refresh.
