CMF Phone 2 Pro Update Improves Battery Use, Network Stability, and Camera Performance

Nothing‘s CMF has started rolling out a new software update for the CMF Phone 2 Pro. The firmware version is Nothing OS V3.2-250903-2153 and it brings system improvements along with camera optimizations.

The rollout is phased, so not all users will receive the update at the same time. This method helps the company track any issues and maintain a stable release.

One of the main changes is better power management during WhatsApp video calls, which should reduce battery drain. The update also improves system stability and network performance, making the device more reliable in daily use.

Camera performance has been refined as well. CMF says the update reduces heating when using the camera in WhatsApp, which should make the phone more comfortable during longer sessions. It also improves image clarity in some Facebook camera scenarios, fixing earlier problems with inconsistent quality.

During the installation process, the device may use more power and run slightly hotter than usual. CMF confirms this is temporary and the phone will return to normal once the update is complete.

The update is now rolling out to CMF Phone 2 Pro units and will reach all users in the coming days. Those who want to check manually can go to the system settings menu and look for new updates.

This Realme Budget Phone Packs a Slim Design, 6000mAh Battery & 120Hz Display at Rs 10,499

Realme has officially launched the Realme P3 Lite in India, and it’s shaping up to be one of the best budget smartphones of 2025. For under Rs 11,000, the company packs this device with a capable mid range MediaTek chipset, massive 6,000mAh battery pack, an ultra smooth display, and a slim design.

Realme P3 Lite: What makes it special?

The Chinese brand just announced the Realme P3 Lite with a 6.67-inch IPS LCD panel that has an HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, it is equipped with the Dimensity 6300 SoC, which previously powered older mid range phones. So this model is more powerful than a typical entry level smartphone. This chip is paired with up to 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.

Realme P3 Lite

Users can even expand storage by up to 2TB via a microSD card slot. A massive 6,000mAh battery pack powers this model, which supports 45W wired fast charging. Despite such a sizeable battery pack, the Realme P3 Lite measures just 7.94mm in terms of thickness and weighs 197 grams. For photography, the rear packs a 32MP camera, while the front houses an 8MP selfie shooter.

HiSilicon gets new chairman as Huawei reorganizes its chip arm

Huawei is making a big change in the leadership of its in-house chip design arm, HiSilicon. According to a report from SCMP, Jeffery Gao, who previously led HiSilicon’s Shanghai division, has been promoted to chairman of the unit, replacing long-time leader Eric Xu.

Xu, who has been with Huawei since the early days and has guided HiSilicon since 2008, is currently serving as Huawei’s rotating chairman. Xu took the role in April and is expected to hold it until the end of September. 

And for those unaware, the rotating chairman is one of the top leaders in the company’s rotating management system, holding the position of the company’s foremost leader for a six-month term

As for Gao, he is a graduate of Southeast University in Nanjing. He joined Huawei in 2012 and worked on the company’s transmission and router products before taking over HiSilicon’s optoelectronics department in 2019. According to Chinese corporate records, Gao also now serves as HiSilicon’s legal representative, a role previously held by Xu.

Huawei hasn’t commented on the reasons for the shift. SCMP states that the change could either be due to the tradition of the company’s rotating chairman or a deeper restructuring of its semiconductor strategy. What’s clear, though, is that HiSilicon is once again in the spotlight after years of working under the cloud of US sanctions.

HiSilicon makes the Kirin processors for Huawei smartphones, as well as the Ascend chips for AI and data centers. After years of silence, Huawei openly referenced a Kirin chip (the Kirin 9020) during the launch event for its Mate XTs foldable in August.

On the AI front, its Ascend line has become a domestic alternative to Nvidia’s offerings, attracting interest from Chinese AI firms such as DeepSeek.

Here’s how big the iPhone Air battery really is

Apple has always had its own way of talking about battery life. Instead of listing the actual milliamp-hour (mAh) numbers like most phone makers, it simply states the hours of video playback as the main benchmark. 

That usually leaves people waiting for teardowns to uncover the real specs. But thanks to EU regulations requiring more transparency, Apple’s German product pages now reveal the precise battery capacities of the new iPhone 17 family.

Here’s the breakdown. The standard iPhone 17 comes in with a 3,692mAh battery, the 17 Pro gets a bump to 4,252mAh, and the 17 Pro Max leads the pack with a massive 5,088mAh cell. Sitting at the bottom of the chart is the all-new iPhone Air, with just 3,149mAh.

The iPhone Air has the smallest battery of them all for obvious reasons. Apple’s ultra-slim titanium design means it couldn’t fit as large a cell inside.

On paper, that sounds like a big trade-off. But Apple is betting on efficiency to make up the difference. The company says the Air can still push up to 27 hours of video playback, which should cover a full day of use. That’s made possible by the A19 Pro chip, which is designed for power savings, along with Apple’s new N1 networking chip and CX1 modem.

Still, Apple knows some people will want more. That’s why it launched a new MagSafe battery pack built specifically with the Air in mind. The add-on snaps to the back, boosts battery capacity by 65 percent, and pushes total video playback time up to around 40 hours. It also supports 12W fast charging and comes with Apple’s smart battery management system to balance performance and longevity.

Google Pixel 10 Pro XL teardown

Google’s latest flagship, the Pixel 10 Pro XL, isn’t only about cameras and AI tricks — it’s also showing clear progress in something many buyers overlook: repairability. A recent teardown by Zack Nelson (JerryRigEverything) gives us the best look yet at how Google has rethought the phone’s internal design.

Launched alongside the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel Watch 4, the Pro XL stands out in the lineup for one simple reason: it’s easier to take apart than its predecessors. Nelson’s teardown video points out several changes that make the phone less intimidating for DIY repairs.

The most notable shift is with the battery. Instead of the messy glue setups of older Pixels, Google now uses pull tabs that let users remove the cell without special tools. That alone could save owners both time and money when the inevitable battery swap comes around. Nelson also noted that the phone continued working even after being reassembled — something not always guaranteed with tightly packed modern flagships.

The overall structure is sturdier than before, and with Google publishing official repair guides and selling parts directly through iFixit, fixing a Pixel no longer feels like an uphill battle.

While Nelson stopped short of putting it on the same level as repair-centric brands like Fairphone, the Pixel 10 Pro XL is a clear improvement over earlier models. Combined with iFixit’s recent praise for the Pixel 10, it shows Google is finally treating repairability as a serious design goal.

For buyers who care about sustainability or just want a phone they can service themselves, this year’s Pixel lineup could be the most approachable Google hardware yet.

Baidu releases PP-OCRv5, a compact AI model that beats large rivals in OCR tests

Baidu just dropped something pretty interesting in the AI scene. After their recent launch of Ernie X1.1 deep thinking model, they’ve now released PP-OCRv5, a new optical character recognition model that’s available on Hugging Face. What makes this one stand out? It’s designed to be really good at reading text while staying surprisingly lightweight.

The thing is, those massive vision-language models we keep hearing about? They’re impressive, but they can struggle when it comes to the nitty-gritty work of reading structured text accurately. That’s where PP-OCRv5 comes in. Baidu built this one specifically to tackle those limitations head-on.

Here’s what’s cool about it: the model works in two main stages – first it finds where text is located in an image, then it actually reads what that text says. This approach helps it nail down exactly where text appears and draw precise boxes around it, which is super handy if you’re trying to pull data from documents or analyze forms.

The efficiency is pretty remarkable too. We’re talking about just 0.07 billion parameters – that’s tiny compared to the giants in this space. Baidu tested it on mobile setups and found it could churn through over 370 characters per second on an Intel Xeon processor. That means you could actually run this thing on regular computers or even edge devices without needing massive server farms.

When Baidu put PP-OCRv5 head-to-head with the big names like GPT-4o, Gemini 2.5 Pro, and Qwen2.5-VL on OCR tasks, their model came out ahead. It handles both printed and handwritten text pretty well, and it’s not just limited to English – it works with Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Pinyin, and actually supports more than 40 languages total.

The technical setup is straightforward but smart. It starts by cleaning up the image – fixing rotation issues, reducing distortion, that sort of thing. Then it finds where text lines are located, figures out which way they’re oriented, and finally converts those characters into readable text. The whole process is designed to give you precise coordinates for where each piece of text sits, which is crucial if you’re scanning invoices or processing forms where layout matters.

What’s nice is that Baidu made this available to everyone through Hugging Face. For developers and businesses dealing with lots of multilingual documents or just needing solid OCR capabilities without the overhead of massive models, PP-OCRv5 looks like it could be a practical choice that actually gets the job done.

Galaxy Tab A11 & A11+ Accidentally Revealed on Samsung’s Own Website

Samsung may have just spoiled two of its own upcoming tablets. An accidental listing has just revealed some key details of two new budget tablet models. The Galaxy Tab A11 and Galaxy Tab A11+ were spotted in an official listing, so here’s everything you need to know.

Samsung’s Next Budget Tablets Just Got Leaked

The two tablets were spotted by Roland Quandt on the official Samsung UAE website. To recall, both the Galaxy Tab A11 and Galaxy Tab A11+ were previously spotted on GeekBench. The standard Galaxy Tab A11’s LTE version even surfaced on the Bluetooth SIG certification. But the latest sighting was directly from Samsung. The Galaxy Tab A11 sports an 8.7-inch display with a 90Hz refresh rate.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A11+
Samsung Galaxy Tab A11+ and Galaxy Tab A11

Under the hood, it is equipped with the MediaTek Helio G99 SoC, which is paired with 4GB of RAM and either 64GB or 128GB of storage. A sizeable 5,100mAh battery pack powers this model, which measures 8mm in thickness and weighs 335 grams. Samsung’s Galaxy Tab A11+ was also listed on the website, but finer details are still at large. However, the GeekBench listing claims that it packs MediaTek’s Dimensity 7300 or 7300X chipset.

We did see real life images of the Galaxy Tab A11 last month, and now, the official listing showcases both tablets. The rear appears to have a single camera, while the display on the front is surrounded by noticeable bezels. Similar to the base variant, there is a WiFi only model. Although, the Dimensity 7300 is a higher end chip, so we can expect 5G connectivity as well.

It uses a 2200W high-power heating system that reaches working temperature in just five seconds. Xiaomi claims the upgraded internal design increases heating efficiency by 15 percent. The heater can reportedly raise a room’s temperature by up to 16°C in one hour.

The device features a newly designed heating structure with turbulent airflow and dual-direction heat dissipation. Warm air flows from both the front and top panels, which helps circulate heat more evenly throughout the room. Xiaomi has used a natural convection system that does not produce strong wind, helping retain moisture in the air and reduce skin dryness during extended use.

Xiaomi has equipped the heater with two rotary knobs for control. One knob adjusts the thermostat, while the other selects among three power levels. It features a built-in thermostat that monitors room temperature and maintains it by automatically turning the heater on or off based on the user’s settings.

The device also includes a foldable drying rack capable of holding up to 1.5 kilograms of clothes or towels. This makes it suitable for indoor drying during damp winter weather.

In terms of safety, the heater comes with several protection features. It is IPX4 rated for splash resistance, allowing use in dry bathrooms. The heater includes tip-over protection, overheat protection, and a flame-retardant body. If the device falls or gets too hot, it shuts off power automatically. Its stable base keeps the unit secure on flat surfaces.

The Mijia Electric Heater 2 measures 780mm by 526mm by 216mm and weighs around 5.3 kilograms.

In related news, Xiaomi has recently launched its first smart variable pressure IH rice cooker with a 4L capacity, along with a mini inflator offering 150psi power and smart pressure modes.

Headphone Zone X Tangzu Wan’er S.G 2 Brings Premium IEMs to India

Headphone Zone has partnered once again with Tangzu to launch the Headphone Zone X Tangzu Wan’er S.G 2 In-Ear Monitors (IEMs) in India. This follows the success of last year’s first-generation Wan’er S.G., which became one of the most popular IEMs in the country.

The Wan’er S.G 2 is designed for India’s growing audiophile community, blending Tangzu’s sound engineering with Headphone Zone’s local expertise. It comes in two variants, one with a 3.5mm connector for pairing with Hi-Res DACs and another with Type-C for smartphones. Both retain the sound signature of the original while introducing design and hardware upgrades.

Visually, the IEMs pay tribute to India’s royal heritage with a deep blue finish accented by gold inlays on the faceplates. A new black cable complements the design and includes an inline microphone with remote for calls. The earphones are lightweight and ergonomically redesigned for all-day comfort, with multiple sets of ear tips included for a secure fit and effective sound isolation.

Inside, the IEMs feature upgraded 10mm dynamic drivers with a PET diaphragm and refined structure for improved control and reduced distortion. They deliver natural audio with better instrument separation and vocal clarity. They are also easy to drive with standard devices but reach their best performance with dedicated Hi-Res DACs.

Raghav Somani, Founder and CEO of Headphone Zone, described the Wan’er S.G 2 as “an homage to India’s culture and heritage” and noted that it improves on the first generation “in every possible way.” Steve Tong, Director of Tangzu, said the special edition was created to honor Indian fans while preserving the sound of the original.

Pricing & availability

The Headphone Zone X Tangzu Wan’er S.G 2 is available exclusively on Headphone Zone’s official website at ₹1,990 for the 3.5mm model and ₹2,190 for the Type-C model.

Apple dominates Q2 2025, but Galaxy A16 5G takes Android crown

The global smartphone market in Q2 2025 shows little change at the top, with Apple once again taking the lead. According to Counterpoint Research, the iPhone 16 was the best-selling phone worldwide between April and June, followed closely by the iPhone 16 Pro Max and iPhone 16 Pro.

Samsung, however, managed to secure its own victory. The Galaxy A16 5G was the highest-selling Android device of the quarter, ranking fourth overall. Its appeal comes from a mix of practical features and a competitive price tag. The phone ships with Samsung’s Exynos 1330 or Mediatek Dimensity 6300 processor (depending on the region), and up to six years of Android updates, making it a long-term choice for budget buyers.

The Galaxy A06 4G also performed well, landing in fifth place. On Apple’s side, the newly launched iPhone 16e slotted in at number six. It cuts back on premium extras like the ultra-wide camera and MagSafe but still runs the A18 chip, which seems to have helped adoption in cost-sensitive markets.

Higher-end Android devices were less visible. The Galaxy S25 Ultra was the only flagship to break into the top ten, while Xiaomi’s Redmi 14C 4G claimed a spot thanks to strong sales in Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa. It was also the only brand outside of Apple and Samsung to appear in the rankings.

The latest numbers underline how the market remains split: Apple dominates the premium end, while Samsung and Xiaomi are competing hard in the entry-level and mid-range globally. With Apple holding steady and Samsung scoring wins through affordability, the divide between price tiers continues to define the smartphone race.

Rogbid Rowatch D2 brings clinical-style BP monitoring and advanced ECG to a smartwatch

Rogbid has introduced its latest smartwatch, the Rowatch D2, aiming to blur the line between fitness tracker and medical device. Priced at $129.99 through the company’s online store, the D2 builds on the brand’s first-generation blood pressure watch with a more sophisticated design and stronger health features.

The headline addition is a miniature air pump and cuff system built directly into the watch, designed to replicate the way a traditional monitor works. Rogbid says this setup, paired with a high-end pressure sensor and low-interference chip, delivers clinically accurate readings with just a single tap. There’s also voice feedback to guide users through measurements, a detail that could be particularly useful for older users.

Alongside blood pressure, the Rowatch D2 can perform ECG readings using a dedicated medical-grade chip and Rogbid’s own analysis software. Other health tools include tracking for body fat, oxygen levels, sleep, heart rate, and even body temperature. A “micro health check” feature condenses these metrics into a 30-second scan. For emergencies, the watch also supports one-touch SOS calling and family data sharing.

On the hardware side, the D2 carries a 2.06-inch curved HD display (410×502 pixels), a 380mAh battery with up to 20 days of standby, and support for multiple sport modes. Buyers can pick from silicone or leather straps in a range of colors.

With its broad health toolkit and sub-$130 price tag, the Rowatch D2 positions Rogbid as a challenger in the increasingly crowded smartwatch space. While not as cheap as entry-level models like the Amazfit Bip 6, its clinical-style blood pressure system could make it a standout for health-conscious buyers.

iPhone 17 Pro Max vs iPhone Air: Which Should You Buy in 2025?

iPhone 17 Pro Max and iPhone Air highlight Apple’s contrasting design philosophies; one is a powerhouse built for professionals, while the other is the thinnest and lightest iPhone ever, focusing on portability and elegance. This comparison matters because both deliver flagship performance, yet appeal to completely different user needs.

Design and display

iPhone 17 Pro Max
iPhone 17 Pro Max

Build and Feel:
The iPhone 17 Pro Max uses an aluminum alloy frame with a Ceramic Shield 2 back, balancing durability and elegance. The iPhone Air, however, opts for a grade 5 titanium frame while maintaining Ceramic Shield glass. Titanium makes the Air lighter and more premium to hold, offering a sleeker and thinner profile compared to the bulkier Pro Max. For those who prioritize portability and comfort, the iPhone Air is clearly the better choice in terms of build.

Display Quality:
Both devices feature LTPO Super Retina XDR OLED panels with 120Hz refresh rates, HDR10, Dolby Vision, and peak brightness of 3000 nits. The Pro Max offers a larger 6.9-inch display with slightly higher resolution, while the Air has a smaller 6.5-inch screen but still retains excellent sharpness at ~460ppi. The Pro Max’s larger canvas is better suited for media and gaming, while the Air provides a more compact experience without sacrificing clarity.

Verdict:
For immersive viewing and content creation, the iPhone 17 Pro Max is the superior option. However, those who prefer a thinner, lighter device with a premium titanium feel will find the iPhone Air more appealing.

Specifications 

iPhone Air

Performance:
Both phones are powered by the Apple A19 Pro 3nm chipset with a hexa-core CPU, ensuring identical raw performance. The difference lies in the GPU: the Pro Max gets a 6-core GPU while the Air settles for a 5-core version. This makes the Pro Max slightly better for gaming, video editing, and intensive tasks. For everyday use, both offer fluid performance, but professionals and creators will benefit from the extra GPU power in the Pro Max.

Battery and Charging:
The iPhone 17 Pro Max carries a significantly larger battery, ranging from 4832mAh to 5088mAh, depending on the SIM model. In contrast, the iPhone Air houses a 3149mAh cell. Charging is faster on the Pro Max with 50% in 20 minutes versus the Air’s 30 minutes. Wireless speeds also favor the Pro Max with 25W compared to the Air’s 20W. This makes the Pro Max a better option for long usage and power users.

Verdict:
Performance is nearly identical, but the iPhone 17 Pro Max wins due to its stronger GPU and far superior battery life, making it a more reliable daily driver for heavy users.

Camera

Main and Secondary Lenses:
The iPhone 17 Pro Max features a triple-camera setup: a 48MP wide lens, 48MP periscope telephoto with 4x optical zoom, and a 48MP ultrawide lens, supported by a LiDAR scanner. This makes it versatile for photography and professional video recording. The iPhone Air uses only a single 48MP wide lens with OIS, delivering good results but lacking versatility. For users who rely on Zoom or ultrawide, the Air falls short.

Selfie Camera:
Both devices share the same 18MP front camera with PDAF and OIS, along with SL 3D sensors. They support Dolby Vision HDR and 4K video recording, making them excellent for selfies, FaceTime, and vlogging. Since there’s no difference here, both are equally strong in this category.

Verdict:
The iPhone 17 Pro Max dominates with its multi-lens versatility and advanced video recording capabilities, ideal for photography enthusiasts. The iPhone Air, while solid, is more suited for casual shooters.

Pricing

iPhone Air

The iPhone 17 Pro Max is priced around $1200, while the iPhone Air comes in at $1000. The $200 gap reflects the Pro Max’s additional cameras, larger display, stronger GPU, and bigger battery. For buyers who value portability and premium titanium design, the Air offers excellent value. However, for professionals or heavy users seeking advanced features, the Pro Max justifies the higher cost.

Conclusion

iPhone Air

The iPhone 17 Pro Max stands out with its triple-camera system, periscope zoom, stronger GPU, and bigger battery, making it a powerhouse for creators and power users. The iPhone Air is unique in its ultra-slim design, titanium build, and lightweight form factor, which is rare in the iPhone lineup.

Verdict:
Choose the iPhone 17 Pro Max if camera versatility, battery endurance, and a larger display are priorities. Pick the iPhone Air if a thinner, lighter, and premium titanium design is more important, and you are fine with fewer camera options. Both cater to different audiences, with the Pro Max aimed at professionals and the Air designed for portability enthusiasts.
