Huawei has added a new accessory to its lineup in China — a sleek 100W power bank that doubles down on speed and portability. The launch came alongside the Mate XTs, FreeBuds 7i, and Mate TV Pro, giving Huawei’s ecosystem a little extra boost.
Officially named the Huawei 100W 12000 all-in-one power bank with built-in cable, the device packs a 12,000mAh battery and is priced at CNY 399 (around $56). It features an integrated USB-C cable plus an additional USB-C port, letting you charge two devices at once. On its own, either port can push out the full 100W — Huawei says that’s enough to charge a Mate 70 or Mate X6 to 85% in about 30 minutes. When two devices are connected, the power is split into either 66W + 40W or 88W + 18W, depending on the demand.
The unit isn’t just about speed. Huawei has built in protections for overheating, overvoltage, and short circuits, with real-time temperature monitoring to keep things safe. Four LEDs on the side show the remaining battery, and users with Huawei phones can also check the status in the companion app.
At 130.6 x 68.4 x 15.7 mm and 237 grams, it’s relatively compact for its class. The power bank will be sold in black and white finishes and has already picked up certifications including China’s 3C, the EU’s CE, and CB for international use — meaning it’s cleared for air travel.
Sales in China start September 26, though Huawei hasn’t shared plans for a global release just yet.
With high-speed charging, a handy built-in cable, and flight-safe clearance, Huawei’s new power bank looks like a well-rounded option for users who need reliable power on the go.
The Galaxy S26 Ultra is still months away, but leaks are already painting a picture of what to expect. Reliable tipster UniverseIce has posted new renders of Samsung’s 2026 flagship, showing it side by side with the current model — and it looks like the company is softening the Ultra’s famously boxy design.
Galaxy S25 Ultra (left) vs S26 Ultra (right)
The new numbers aren’t dramatic, but they’re enough to notice. The Galaxy S26 Ultra is said to measure 163.4 mm tall and 77.9 mm wide, just a touch larger than the S25 Ultra’s 162.8 x 77.6 mm frame. The bigger change comes at the corners: instead of sharp edges, the S26 Ultra will curve more noticeably, giving it a rounder profile. UniverseIce even posted a mock-up showing the difference next to last year’s model, and the contrast is clear.

That subtle shift could have a real impact on how the phone looks and feels to hold. The flatter, squared-off look of past Ultras gave them a distinctive style but wasn’t always the most comfortable in hand. With more rounded corners, the S26 Ultra might strike a better balance between looks and ergonomics.
There’s also talk that Samsung could trim down the thickness this year. On the back, earlier leaks have pointed to a refreshed camera layout, which should help distinguish the S26 Ultra visually from its predecessor.
But here’s the catch: comments under the renders suggest ergonomics isn’t everything. Many users actually prefer the Ultra’s boxy look — one even called the S24 Ultra the ‘best designed so far.’
Taken together, the changes suggest Samsung isn’t overhauling the Ultra formula but rather refining it. A little bigger, a little rounder, and potentially a little slimmer — enough to give the phone a fresh identity without alienating fans of the series’ premium design.
Samsung is expected to announce the Galaxy S26 lineup in January 2026, so we’ll likely be hearing more in the coming months.

With its brighter, minimalist design and high-end specs, the X9 Aura Edition is Lenovo’s way of showing that a ThinkPad can be both professional and stylish.
Nothing has officially teased the launch of its next-generation earbuds, the Ear (3). In a typical Nothing fashion, the company made a succinct post on X (formerly Twitter), simply stating, “Ear (3). Soon.”
The more interesting detail is in the name. After briefly shifting to a letter-based system with the Ear and Ear (a) in 2024, the company is reverting to numbers with its next earbud. That puts the new model back in line with the Ear (1) and Ear (2), which launched in July 2021 and March 2023, respectively.
The company explained that user feedback highlighted the importance of this naming approach; as a result, the upcoming model is called the Ear (3). Though it’s technically a fourth-generation product.
Nothing has not shared any details about what the Ear (3) will bring, and there haven’t been leaks yet either. So for now, it’s worth looking back at what the current-generation Ear offers.
The Nothing Ear features a custom 11mm ceramic driver, designed to deliver clearer sound with more pronounced bass. It supports Hi-Res Wireless Audio and comes with up to 45dB of active noise cancellation.
Nothing Ear
The ANC system is adaptive, adjusting in real time to compensate for sound leakage between the earbud and ear canal. Users can also switch between three noise cancellation levels depending on their environment.
On the connectivity side, the Ear supports Bluetooth 5.4 and dual-device pairing, allowing users to connect to two devices at once. Its battery life is rated at up to 8.5 hours of playback on a single charge, or 9.5 hours with ANC disabled. With the charging case, playback extends to around 40.5 hours.

Still, it will be interesting to see what the new partnership brings for OnePlus devices and their users. Also, the images above are compressed, so we suggest that you navigate to the source to see them in original quality.
The telephoto in question is a 50MP lens with 3x optical zoom, and will be accompanied by a 50MP main camera and a 50MP ultrawide lens. Not just the Hasselblad branding, OnePlus is also rumored to move on from its unique round camera module design on the back. It may feature a square module in the upper left corner instead.
Beyond this
Apart from this, the device is expected to feature a BOE display with 1.5K resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate. It will be one of the first flagships to get the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, likely paired with up to 12GB of RAM.
Software-wise, the OnePlus 15 will ship with Android 16 out of the box, as confirmed by Geekbench. Fueling the phone will be a 7000mAh battery that supports both 100W wired and 50W wireless charging.

Adobe is finally putting its video editor into your pocket. The company has announced a mobile version of Premiere, reworked from the ground up for phones and tablets, with a focus on creators who live on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. The app launches September 30 on iPhones and iPads, with Android support on the way.
This isn’t just a shrunken-down desktop app. The mobile app has a touch-first interface that makes trimming clips, layering audio, and adding effects much easier on smaller screens. Videos can be cut and exported in up to 4K HDR, which should be more than enough for both casual and professional content.
The real draw is Adobe’s AI toolkit. Users can generate sound effects with a simple text prompt, clean up messy audio, or pull free background tracks from Adobe Stock. There are also one-tap exports for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts, meaning creators won’t have to wrestle with settings before posting. And here’s the best part: unlike some free apps, Adobe isn’t slapping watermarks on the finished product.
Premiere Mobile projects also sync with Premiere Pro on desktop, so creators can start an edit on their phone and finish it later on a Mac or PC. That flexibility could give Adobe an edge over many of its rivals.
Apple users can pre-register for the September 30 rollout, while Android users will have to wait a bit longer. Either way, Adobe’s move signals a big bet on mobile-first editing at a time when short-form video dominates. If the app lives up to the promise, it could become a go-to tool for anyone serious about creating on the go.
Back in April 2025, Motorola unveiled its first ever laptop with the Moto Book 60. These came with new mid-range Intel chips and gorgeous displays at an affordable price point. Just a few days ago, the company confirmed the arrival of the more powerful Moto Book 60 Pro model, which packs an even faster Intel Core Ultra Series 2 CPUs. After a short wait, this powerful new thin-and-light laptop has finally released in India, so let’s check it out.
Moto Book 60 Pro Launched: Lightweight Laptop with Heavyweight Performance
Lenovo brought its expertise in laptops with the Moto Book 60, which brought a lightweight and premium build. All of this has remained virtually the same with the Moto Book 60 Pro. So you still get the MIL-STD-810H military grade certification, a metallic body, a 1.69cm thick chassis, and a light 1.39 kilogram weight. The vibrant display also makes a return with a 14-inch OLED display with a high 2.8K resolution, 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, 1100 nits of peak brightness, and a 120Hz refresh rate.
Moto Book 60 Pro
Both the design and display were highlights of the Moto Book 60, so no complaints in this regard. But the biggest change comes with the performance. While the Intel Core 5 and Core 7 on the Moto Book 60 sound next-gen, these are older 10nm based chips. Meanwhile, the Moto Book 60 Pro packs the Intel Core Ultra 5 or Core Ultra 7. These processors are not only more powerful, but the 3nm process makes them more power efficient as well. The chip is also paired with up to 32GB of DDR5 RAM and 1TB of SSD M.2 PCIe 4.0 storage.
A sizeable 60Wh battery pack powers this laptop, with 65W USB-C charging support. Other notable features include Dolby Atmos speakers, Bluetooth 5.4, WiFi 7, Windows 11 Home, and a Full HD IR webcam. The Moto Book 60 Core Ultra 5 has a starting price of 64,990 INR, while the Core Ultra 7 starts from 80,990 INR. Motorola’s bright and elegant Pantone Bronze Green and Pantone Wedgewood colors make a return as well.
Google’s Pixel 10 may have just launched, but it’s already making headlines for more than its TSMC-made Tensor G5 chip and flashy new software. A teardown from iFixit reveals that the phone is not only powerful but also easier to repair than past models.
The biggest change is a new “pull jacket” battery system. Instead of fiddly pull tabs that often snapped or required alcohol to loosen, Google has added a green strip that slices straight through the adhesive. It makes swapping out a worn battery quicker, cleaner, and less risky — no need to pry the screen off first. For the most common repair a phone needs, that’s a big deal.
Other touches suggest Google is thinking more about serviceability. The internals use fewer screw types, so you don’t need a toolkit full of bits just to get inside. iFixit also pointed out upgrades like the Pixelsnap magnetic ring for Qi2 wireless charging and, of course, the new Tensor G5 chip at the center of it all.
It’s not perfect — things like the cameras and USB-C port aren’t modular, so those repairs won’t be as simple. Even so, iFixit gave the Pixel 10 a provisional repairability score of 6/10, which is a step up from earlier Pixels. Google is also publishing repair manuals for the lineup, a move that could cut down on repair costs and extend device life.
In short: the Pixel 10 isn’t just about performance and AI tricks. By making it easier to fix, Google is signaling it wants its hardware to last longer — a shift that could push the whole industry in a more sustainable direction.
Motorola has officially launched the Edge 60 Neo, as the latest budget model from the brand’s Edge 60 series. This smartphone brings a durable design, capable performance and AI functionality. The Edge 60 Fusion was the most affordable phone in the lineup, and the Edge 60 Neo is the latest budget entry that brings a relatively compact design as well.
Motorola Edge 60 Neo Launched: What does it offer?
With a display size of 6.4 inches, Motorola’s Edge 60 Neo can be considered a relatively compact phone, as most devices are usually around the 6.7-inch mark. It sports a pOLED panel with a 1.5K resolution, LTPO tech for 120Hz variable refresh rate, up to 3000 nits of peak brightness, and Corning Gorilla Glass 7i for protection. Motorola uses the vegan leather material for the back panel once again, adding a MIL-STD 810H certification and IP68 + IP69 rating for water and dust resistance.
Motorola Edge 60 Neo
Under the hood, the Edge 60 Neo is equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 SoC, which is paired with up to 12Gb of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. A sizeable 5,000mAh battery pack powers this model, which supports 68W wired fast charging and 15W wireless charging. For photography, the rear has a 50MP Sony LYT700C main camera, a 12MP ultra wide angle lens, and a 10MP telephoto shooter with 3x optical zoom. You get a 32MP shooter on the front for selfies and video calls.
Other notable features include a slim and light chassis (8.09mm, 175 grams), Bluetooth 5.4, Wifi 6, stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, an in-display fingerprint scanner, and Android 15 OS out of the box. Motorola’s Edge 60 Neo arrives in three distinct color options, namely PANTONE Latte, PANTONE Frostbite, PANTONE Poinciana and PANTONE Grisaille colours. It has a starting price tag of 399 Euros for the 8GB + 128GB model, with the global debut starting with Europe.

Xiaomi will stop sending software updates to six Xiaomi smartphones this month. This means no more major updates and security patches for them once their update cycle reaches an end. We’ve curated a list of those Xiaomi smartphones along with their end-of-life dates.
If you have an older Xiaomi phone, you may want to review the list, hoping that it’s not mentioned there.
Xiaomi phones reaching the end of software updates this month
Xiaomi 11T (EOL: Sep 23, 2025)
Xiaomi 11T Pro (EOL: Sep 23, 2025)
Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE (EOL: Sep 23, 2025)
The Xiaomi 11T, 11T Pro, and 11 Lite 5G NE were launched in September 2021, promising three major Android updates and four years of security patches. Launched with Android 11, these three phones are now running Android 14 after receiving the promised number of major updates.
Fortunately, Xiaomi 11T and 11T Pro also received an upgrade to HyperOS 1 (based on Android 14) that brought loads of new features and improvements. The Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE got even luckier as it also received the HyperOS 2 upgrade, based on Android 14. The phones are now close to their fourth anniversary, which also means the end of software support, sadly.
The entry-level Redmi A1 and Redmi A1+ will reach the end of their software cycle later this month. Both smartphones were released in September 2022 with Android 12-based MIUI 12 skin at the top.
The smartphones received an upgrade to MIUI 13, but they haven’t received a single Android update. They are still running Android 12 and will spend the rest of their life on the same Android version. Later this month, the devices would become ineligible for security patches as well.
Poco phones reaching the end of software updates
Poco M5 (EOL: Sep 6, 2025)
The Poco M5 has also reached the end of the road. It was launched back in September 2022 with Android 12 and MIUI 13, promising two major Android updates. Over the last three years, the device has received two major OS upgrades (Android 13 and Android 14) and numerous security patches.
What should these users do?
If your Xiaomi smartphone is on the list, it will probably not get any updates going forward. However, it will continue to function normally, but it won’t receive security fixes for the latest vulnerabilities found in the Android and Xiaomi devices. That means you’ll be putting yourself at risk, especially if your device has confidential data.
Ideally, you should upgrade to a newer model to continue receiving the latest security patches and major updates that bring plenty of exciting features and enhancements. We have a curated list of Xiaomi devices that promise six years of software updates, in case you’re looking for a better upgrade.

Vivo started off its new V-line with a sole V60 model, but it looks like the lineup won’t stay a single device affair for long. There’s no indication of a Pro model yet, but rumor says Vivo is working on V60 Lite.
The latter might come in both 4G and 5G flavors, out of which, the V60 Lite 5G has now surfaced in a fresh leak with its full specs and design reveal.
Vivo V60 Lite Specifications
Based on the leaked renders, the V60 Lite 5G closely resembles the standard V60. It has a vertically stacked rear camera module, a punch-hole cutout up front, and slim bezels on all sides.
The display is reportedly a 6.7-inch AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and up to 3,000 nits of peak brightness. Under the hood, Vivo is said to be using MediaTek’s Dimensity 7300 chip, which pulled in 939 points in Geekbench’s single-core test and 2,527 in multi-core.
The 4G model appeared on the benchmark with Snapdragon 685 and scored 467 and 1536 points, respectively.
Camera-wise, the Lite edition seems toned down compared to its sibling. It will feature a 50MP main sensor paired with a 2MP secondary, plus a 32MP front-facing camera. Notably, there’s no sign of Zeiss branding or tuning this time around.
Other leaked specs include Android 15 with Funtouch OS 15, support for 5G, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, an in-display fingerprint reader, and even an IP69 rating.
There’s no word yet on when or where will Vivo launch the V60 Lite. But the device has received multiple certifications, such as SIRIM (Malaysia), EEC (Europe), and Nemko, so the launch shouldn’t be that far off. We will keep you in loop as soon as we hear more on it.
