Sep 7, 2025

Xiaomi’s next flagships could make battery life a key selling point. According to a fresh leak, the upcoming Xiaomi 16 lineup is set to bring some of the biggest jumps in capacity we’ve seen yet, with Silicon-Carbon tech leading the way.

Tipster Yogesh Brar claims the standard Xiaomi 16 will carry a 7,000 mAh battery — a huge step up from the 5,240 mAh cell in the Xiaomi 15’s global model. The 16 Pro is said to come with 6,300 mAh, slightly more than the 6,100 mAh in the 15 Pro, despite whispers that the phone will be roughly the same size as the base version. At the top, the 16 Pro Max could feature a massive 7,500 mAh cell, making it one of the largest in any flagship phone to date.

These numbers aren’t out of the blue. Earlier leaks have hinted at similar figures, and they fit into a broader push by Chinese brands to adopt and iterate on Silicon-Carbon batteries before Apple, Samsung, or Google. The new series is also expected to debut with Qualcomm’s “Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5” chip, with a launch rumored for September 23. On the camera side, there’s chatter about a Xiaomi 16 Ultra sporting a 1-inch main sensor and a 200MP telephoto lens.

Xiaomi won’t be alone in the big-battery race. Both OnePlus and Oppo are said to be readying phones with capacities around the same 7,000–7,500 mAh mark, signaling where the industry is heading.

If accurate, these upgrades could give Xiaomi a big talking point — more capable yet longer-lasting flagships without bulky designs. And with launch season coming up fast, it won’t be long before we see how much of this holds true.

Sep 7, 2025

Nokia has officially opened a new R&D and manufacturing hub in Oulu, Finland, strengthening its role in the race toward next-gen 5G and 6G networks. The site, nicknamed the “Home of Radio,” will bring together researchers, engineers, and production under one roof, with a focus on AI-driven connectivity.

The campus was inaugurated on September 5 and will host around 3,000 experts. It’s designed to cover the entire product development cycle, from early testing and chip design to hardware, software, and patent development. Nokia says the site will also support work on 5G standardization and system-on-chip development, while the on-site factory will handle production of 5G radio and baseband products to ensure secure, Europe-built networks.

Speaking at the launch, Nokia President and CEO Justin Hotard said Oulu’s strong ecosystem—linking the company with universities, startups, and NATO’s DIANA Test Center—makes it the right place for this kind of investment. The goal is to create a setting where new ideas in wireless tech can move quickly from concept to deployment.

Sustainability was also built into the plan. The facility runs entirely on renewable energy, and excess energy will be used to heat around 20,000 homes in Oulu. Nokia positions this as part of its effort to pair cutting-edge innovation with eco-friendly practices.

By offering both simulated and real-world network environments, the campus should give Nokia a head start in tailoring 5G and future 6G systems for AI applications. More broadly, it highlights Europe’s push for technological sovereignty at a time when fast, secure, and reliable connectivity is becoming central to the AI boom.

DeepSeek is working on AI agent to take on OpenAI by end of 2025

By

-

Sep 6, 2025

Chinese startup DeepSeek is preparing to launch a next-generation AI agent by the end of 2025, according to a Bloomberg report. The Hangzhou-based company is developing a system that can perform complex, multi-step tasks with minimal input from users. The model will also learn from its past actions to improve performance over time.

DeepSeek gained global attention earlier this year with the release of its R1 model. The system demonstrated advanced reasoning capabilities and was built at a reported cost of just $6 million, far less than rivals like OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Google’s Gemini. R1 was also open source, allowing developers to freely access its code. The release disrupted the “bigger is better” approach in Silicon Valley, where massive budgets and vast datasets have dominated AI development.

Since R1, DeepSeek has moved cautiously. Founder Liang Wenfeng delayed the R2 model, a move attributed to technical refinements and his ongoing work at High-Flyer Asset Management. This deliberate pace differs from competitors like Alibaba and Tencent, which have accelerated their own AI rollouts.

Last month, DeepSeek rolled out its V3.1 update, expanding the context window to 128,000 tokens and increasing the parameter count to 685 billion. The company also now applies mandatory AI-generated content labels on all outputs, a policy that cannot be disabled and sets DeepSeek apart from its peers.

The upcoming R2 model will target the emerging market for AI agents. Unlike chatbots that deliver text-based responses, agents are designed to handle tasks such as travel planning, software debugging, and business workflows with little human supervision. Analysts view this technology as the next major step in AI, capable of boosting productivity and reshaping digital services.

Global competitors, including OpenAI, Microsoft, and Anthropic, have already introduced agent-focused features. DeepSeek aims to match and potentially surpass those efforts, continuing its push to challenge U.S. dominance in AI.

Details about pricing, availability, and technical specifications remain limited. However, industry watchers expect the launch to be closely monitored in both Silicon Valley and Washington, where DeepSeek’s rapid progress has already raised concerns about China’s growing influence in artificial intelligence.

Sep 6, 2025

Google is bringing more AI creativity to your photo library. US users of Google Photos can try out a new feature powered by Veo 3, the company’s latest AI video generation model. The update lets you turn still photos into short, four-second clips straight from the app’s Create tab.

The Veo3 video generation model launched in July, and it delivers sharper and more realistic results than its predecessor. Under the Create tab inside Photos, users can choose between two modes — “Subtle Motion” or “I’m Feeling Lucky” — both designed to add a touch of movement without going overboard. According to Google spokesperson Michael Marconi, Veo 3 produces a more lifelike effect compared to what came before.

Veo 3 was first introduced at Google I/O back in May alongside Flow, a text-to-video tool, and Vids, an AI-powered video editor. While the most advanced features, like its ultra-realistic voice generation, remain locked behind the $250-per-month AI Ultra plan, Google Photos users now get limited daily access to video generation for free. Those on paid AI Pro and Ultra subscriptions will see higher usage limits.

The Create tab also houses other AI tricks, including turning photos into 3D animations or automatically assembling highlight reels based on keywords. Together, these tools make Google Photos more than just a storage service — it’s edging closer to a creative suite for casual users and content creators alike.

By putting Veo 3 directly in the hands of free Photos users, Google is making its AI experiments far more accessible. And with the quality boost this update brings, short-form creators and everyday users may find themselves reaching for Photos as more than just a backup app.

Sep 6, 2025

Xiaomi has launched the Redmi Desktop Speaker 2 Pro on its Youpin platform, priced at 369 yuan ($52). The new model enters the market as a desktop speaker that focuses on sound quality, design, and versatile connectivity. It is available in Graphite Black and Metallic Silver colors.

Redmi Desktop Speaker 2 Pro Specs

The Redmi Desktop Speaker 2 Pro features a cylindrical body. It uses a metal mesh grille to shield its quad-driver setup, which consists of two 10W racetrack speakers and dual passive bass radiators. It relies on an external adapter for steady power delivery.

Xiaomi angles the drivers at 53 degrees to align with natural listening positions at a desk, producing what it describes as a “sky sound field” for wider audio coverage. The product has also cleared blind listening evaluations and earned the CGEC Golden Ear certification.

The speaker includes a DSP digital audio processor with a fully digital signal chain that reduces noise while preserving detail across different types of content. It offers five EQ modes: Balanced, Deep Bass, Pure Vocals, Game, and Cinema. Each mode is tuned for specific scenarios, such as music playback, gaming, or movie watching.

The Redmi Desktop Speaker 2 Pro also includes lighting effects. Xiaomi has added 24 RGB LEDs that can produce six modes, including Aurora 2.0, Neon 2.0, and Starry Flash. The lighting synchronizes with audio playback to create a dynamic visual effect.

For controls, the speaker provides a multifunction knob on the side along with two buttons on the top. These handle volume, EQ, channel switching, and lighting adjustments.

In terms of connectivity, the speaker supports USB digital input, Bluetooth 5.3, and Aux. It works with Windows, macOS, smartphones, tablets, and other devices.

Xiaomi also provides companion software called C-Hub that allows users to customize both audio and lighting. The speaker includes a built-in microphone with echo cancellation and a 3.5mm input for external microphones.

Four anti-slip pads keep the unit steady on a desk. The rear panel includes ports for USB, DC power, Aux-in, and microphone expansion.

In related news, Samsung has recently introduced the Sound Tower ST50F and ST40F with 240W output, 18-hour battery life, and IPX4-rated design, while JBL has launched the PartyBox 720 featuring 800W output, 15-hour battery life, and lightshow effects.

Alongside this forecast, the firm has shared key specifications of the Apple iPhone 17 lineup, which will include four models. The report also reveals that the iPhone 17 Air, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max will be the first iPhones to feature 12GB of RAM.

iPhone 17

As per TrendForce’s report, the iPhone 17 is expected to come with a 6.2-inch flexible AMOLED on-cell display offering LTPO 120Hz refresh rate. It will be powered by the A19 chip based on TSMC’s 3nm process, paired with 8GB of LPDDR5X RAM. Storage options may include 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB, with pricing projected at $799, $899, and $1,099.

iPhone 17 Air

The iPhone 17 Air, which is still a tentative name, could feature a larger 6.6-inch flexible AMOLED on-cell display with LTPO 120Hz refresh rate. It is expected to run on the same A19 processor and will be paired with 12GB of RAM. Storage options may include 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB, with forecast pricing of $1,099, $1,299, and $1,499.

iPhone 17 Pro

The iPhone 17 Pro is also likely to sport a 6.2-inch flexible AMOLED on-cell display with LTPO 120Hz support, but it will run on the more powerful A19 Pro processor. This model is expected to feature 12GB of RAM and come in 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB storage variants. Pricing is expected at $1,199, $1,399, and $1,599.

iPhone 17 Pro Max

Finally, the iPhone 17 Pro Max is projected to feature the largest display in the lineup, a 6.8-inch flexible AMOLED on-cell panel with LTPO 120Hz refresh rate.
