Honor is working on a 12,000mAh phone, plus a dual-cell 10,000mAh model

Honor is doubling down on the big battery game. After pushing into the 10,000mAh category with last year’s WIN series, the company is now rumored to be expanding that strategy across more devices.

According to a recent leak, Honor is preparing four additional smartphones with 10,000mAh-class batteries. Add those to the three models already out, and Honor will have seven 10,000mAh phones in total. No other brand is anywhere near that number.

Honor is testing a dual-cell 10,000mAh battery

Two of the upcoming four phones are more interesting. One is said to feature a 12,000mAh battery, which would set a new high for mainstream smartphones. 

The second device is reportedly using a dual-cell 10,000mAh battery design, which could be a first for the industry. The dual-cell setup helps with heat and charging efficiency, meaning Honor might actually pull off 120W fast charging on a 10,000mAh phone without it turning into a hand warmer.

Honor Win

The leak doesn’t confirm product names, but based on rumors, the phones could be a part of Honor X80, Honor Power 3, and a new WIN 2 series.

Right now, Honor already dominates this segment in its home market. Out of the four existing 10,000mAh-class phones, three belong to the company. The only exception is the Vivo Y600 Pro, which comes with a 10,200mAh battery and sits at the lower end of the price range.

Other brands are expected to enter this space too. Oppo, Xiaomi, and Huawei are all rumored to be working on similar devices this year. But their approach is more cautious. They will likely launch one model and see how it goes. 

As for Honor, it’s going all in. Honor seems to want to be the brand people think of the moment someone mentions long battery life.

Asus launches 18-inch Tianxuan 7 Pro Max gaming laptop with Ryzen 9 9955HX & up to RTX 5070 Ti

Asus is releasing a new 18-inch gaming laptop in China called the Tianxuan 7 Pro Max. Scheduled to go on sale starting May 8th, the laptop is a large, desktop-replacement style machine that pairs AMD’s current high-end processors with Nvidia’s new RTX 50-series graphics cards.

Asus Tianxuan 7 Pro Max

Asus Tianxuan 7 Pro Max Specifications

Inside, the laptop runs on the AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX processor, a 16-core, 32-thread chip designed for heavy workloads and gaming. For graphics, buyers have a few configuration options: an RTX 5060, an RTX 5070, or the higher-tier RTX 5070 Ti. To manage the heat generated by these components, Asus is using a dual-fan cooling system with 0.1mm fan blades. Under heavy load, the laptop is rated to handle a total system power draw of up to 205W.

The screen is an 18-inch display with a 2560 x 1600 resolution. It features a 300Hz refresh rate and a 3ms response time. The panel covers 100% of the DCI-P3 color space, reaches 500 nits of brightness, and includes Nvidia G-Sync to prevent screen tearing. Asus also applied an anti-glare coating to help with visibility in bright rooms.

For memory and storage, the base models start with 16GB of RAM, while higher configurations offer 32GB of dual-channel DDR5-5600 memory. All models come with a 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD. The motherboard includes dual memory slots and dual M.2 slots, meaning users can open the laptop and upgrade both the RAM and storage themselves later on.

Asus Tianxuan 7 Pro Max

Given the 18-inch screen, the Tianxuan 7 Pro Max is a heavy device. It weighs roughly 2.8kg and measures 1.89cm thick. It features an asymmetrical, mechanical-themed chassis design and a 180-degree hinge.

The system is powered by a 90Wh battery that supports fast charging, reaching about a 50% charge in 30 minutes. It also supports 100W USB-C charging.

The port selection covers most standard peripherals. The left side includes an Ethernet jack, an HDMI 2.1 port, two 10Gbps USB-C ports (which support DisplayPort 2.1), one 10Gbps USB-A port, and a 3.5mm audio jack. The right side adds two more USB-A ports.

Rounding out the hardware is an RGB keyboard with 1.7mm of key travel, a 1080p webcam with IR for Windows Hello facial recognition, and Dolby Atmos audio support.

In related news, Dell has recently launched the XPS 14 and XPS 16 in India, featuring 4K HDR webcams, Intel Core Ultra X7 processors, and 100W charging support.

Sony Xperia 1 VIII Amazon listing, Geekbench reveals specs ahead of June 26 launch

Sony looks like it’s changing direction a bit with the next Xperia flagship, especially when it comes to zoom photography. Fresh leaks surrounding the upcoming Xperia 1 VIII suggest Sony is moving away from the variable telephoto system used on the Xperia 1 VII.

The details come from listings spotted on Amazon Germany and Amazon UK, reported by NotebookCheck. According to ITHome, the Xperia 1 VIII swaps the previous continuous optical zoom lens for a fixed 70mm telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom.

On paper, that sounds like a downgrade. The Xperia 1 VII could smoothly shift between 85mm and 170mm focal lengths (roughly 3.5x-7.1x), something no phones offer as of early 2026. But Sony seems to be compensating in another area that arguably matters more for everyday use: sensor size.

A much larger telephoto sensor (rumored)

The new telephoto camera is said to use a much larger 48MP 1/1.56-inch sensor, replacing the older 12MP 1/3.5-inch unit. That’s a pretty big jump, and it should help with light capture, detail, and low-light performance. There’s a chance the trade-off could actually work in Sony’s favor.

While the extreme long-range zoom from the older model may be gone, most users could end up getting better-looking photos in the focal lengths they actually use more often. The main and ultra-wide cameras reportedly stay familiar, sticking to 24mm and 16mm equivalents.

Outside the camera system, benchmark listings show the Xperia 1 VIII (Sony XQ-GE54) running Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip paired with 12GB RAM. Geekbench scores floating around online point to flagship-level performance.

There also seem to be a few design tweaks this time around, including what looks like a more squared-off camera module. At the same time, Sony is apparently keeping some of the things Xperia fans tend to care about, including the 3.5mm headphone jack and the tall cinematic-style display.

Nothing is official yet, but the overall direction is becoming clearer. Sony doesn’t seem interested in chasing the highest zoom numbers anymore. Instead, it looks like the company is trying to improve the kind of shots people take most often, while still keeping that enthusiast-focused Xperia identity intact.

iQOO 15T image surfaces ahead of expected launch this month

iQOO 15T has been in the rumor mills for a while now. A new rumor today is giving us a first look at the device, or more like a part of it. 

Reliable insider Digital Chat Station (DCS) from Weibo shared a back image of the iQOO 15T showing the square camera module. The device, at least from what’s visible in the leak, borrows heavily from the brand’s Ultra series design language.

iQOO 15T image

The camera module has two visible lenses along with the flashlight, while the rim has a knurled texture. The device has metal frames confirmed by the antenna lines, while this seems to be the silver shade of the iQOO 15T. 

On the front, the leak hints at a 6.83-inch flat display with a 2K resolution. The tip also claims a 144Hz refresh rate, which is the same as the iQOO 15 Ultra. The camera module is led by a 200-megapixel main sensor, which DCS is the first for any iQOO flagship. However, details about its other rear cameras remain under wraps

What else can you expect?

There are also early expectations around performance and battery. Previous rumors suggest the device may run on a Dimensity 9500 chipset and could include a large 8000mAh battery with support for 100W fast charging.

Apart from this, iQOO is also expected to announce a flagship tablet called the iQOO Pad 6 Pro. The phone and tablet could launch together, likely this month. 

The large-screen device is said to feature a 13.2-inch LCD screen with support for 4K resolution, a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5chip, 16GB of RAM, 612GB of storage, and a 13,000mAh battery with 90W fast charging support. It may come in three shades: Man Dao, Grey Crystal, and Silver Wing.

Alongside the Vivo X300 Ultra, Vivo has also launched the Vivo X300 FE in India. While the Ultra is more about the camera hardware, the X300 FE is a more compact flagship with a balanced set of features.

It is built around a 6.31-inch AMOLED display that offers 2640 x 1216 pixels resolution, along with an adaptive refresh rate that ranges from 1Hz to 120Hz. Vivo also says the panel can reach up to 5,000 nits of peak brightness.

Vivo X300 Ultra launches with 200MP sensors and pro-grade zoom add-ons

After weeks of teasing, Vivo has officially launched the Vivo X300 Ultra in India. It follows the smartphone’s Chinese debut in late March, and as expected, not much has changed.

The device revolves around the idea of offering a camera-first experience. It features a 14mm ultra-wide camera using a 50MP Sony LYTIA 818 sensor with an f/2.0 aperture, OIS, and third-generation VCS bionic spectrum technology.

Vivo X300 Ultra Design

The 35mm main camera uses a 200MP Sony LYTIA 901 sensor with an f/1.85 aperture, improved light intake, and reduced reflectivity. The 85mm telephoto camera is based on a 200MP Samsung HP0 sensor and offers 3-degree gimbal-level stabilization with support for up to 60 autofocus operations per second.

All of this is housed in what Vivo describes as a metal, pancake-style camera module with a knurled texture. The device comes in Victory Green and Eclipse Black and carries IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance.

Vivo X300 Ultra with teleconverter module

The Vivo X300 Ultra is also compatible with two external teleconverter modules. The first is the Zeiss Telephoto Extender Gen 2 Ultra, which offers 400mm focal length using a 15-element optical structure. Meanwhile, the non-ultra Zeiss Telephoto Extender Gen 2 has a 200mm focal length with around 8.7x optical zoom. 

Both telephoto extenders feature CIPA 6.5-rated stabilization, meet ZEISS APO optical standards, and support fast autofocus at up to 60fps. Combined with the phone’s native cameras, Vivo refers to the entire setup as the “ZEISS Master Lenses Collection.”  

Not to forget, the extenders are compatible only with the Vivo Imaging Grip Kit. 

As for videos, the X300 Ultra supports 4K 120fps Dolby Vision and 4K 120fps 10-bit Log recording across all lenses. It includes OIS on all cameras, a four-microphone array, and support for 3D LUT imports. And if you’re professional, it supports ACES workflows, built-in cinematic modes like 24fps film style, and a 60fps modern format.

Display, performance, and battery

The device is powered by Qualcomm’s best Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, paired with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB of UFS 4.1 storage. Vivo has also upgraded thermal management with a liquid cooling vapor chamber. The system increases overall heat dissipation by 14 percent and features a 22% larger vapor chamber. 

On the front, you get a 6.82-inch 2K LTPO AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate, HDR10+, and 2160Hz PWM dimming. It runs Android 16 with OriginOS 6.

It is backed by a 6,600mAh battery with 90W wired charging, 40W wireless charging, and reverse wireless charging.

Price and availability

The Vivo X300 Ultra comes in 12GB/512GB and 16GB/512GB variants in India, priced at Rs 159,999 and Rs 169,999, respectively. The 400mm telephoto extender costs Rs 27,999, and the imaging grip kit costs Rs 11,999. The X300 Ultra, along with the grip kit and both extenders, is available at Rs 2,09,999.

Stable One UI 8.5 rollout is live for these Galaxy devices

Stable ONe UI 8.5 update

After extensive beta testing, Samsung has finally started rolling out the stable One UI 8.5 update, based on Android 16 QPR2. As anyone would easily guess, it’s the Galaxy S25 series getting the first bite of the stable rollout.

Samsung wasted no time in expanding the One UI 8.5 rollout to more Galaxy devices. The Galaxy S25 FE, Galaxy S24 Edge, Galaxy Z Fold 7, and Galaxy Z Flip 7 were quick to follow. The rollout should expand to more Galaxy phones and tablets over the coming days and weeks.

Here’s a list of Galaxy devices that have received the stable One UI 8.5 update so far:

  • Galaxy S25
  • Galaxy S25+
  • Galaxy S25 Ultra
  • Galaxy S25 Edge
  • Galaxy S25 FE
  • Galaxy Z Fold 7
  • Galaxy Z Flip 7

As always, South Korea is the first region to receive the update. Users in other regions should expect to receive the update over the next few days. If your device is on the list, navigate to Settings > Software updates > Download and install to check whether the update is ready to download.

Stable One UI 8.5 rollout took a lot longer

Samsung took a lot longer to kick off the stable One UI 8.5 rollout than we had expected. The beta program for the Galaxy S25 went live in December 2025, and over the next five months, Samsung released ten beta builds. That’s well above four or five betas Samsung usually pushes before the stable release.

The stable rollout has finally gone live, and Samsung appears to be speeding things up. The update has already reached seven devices in a single day. Hopefully, it will continue to cover the rest of the eligible Galaxy devices at a good pace. If you’re unsure about the update’s eligibility for your device, check the complete list here to find out.

Xiaomi Gaming Mouse 2 to feature PixArt PAW3955XM sensor & 40000 DPI

Xiaomi has released more details about its upcoming Gaming Mouse 2. Last week, the company teased the new PC peripheral, and a recent post on Weibo finally outlines the core specifications. The main takeaway is that Xiaomi is using a custom PixArt sensor, which suggests the company is trying to make a more serious entry into the PC gaming accessory market rather than just releasing a basic budget option.

Xiaomi Gaming Mouse 2

The mouse is built around a custom PixArt PAW3955XM sensor. PixArt makes the sensors for most major gaming mice, and this particular version comes with some high specifications. It supports a maximum sensitivity of 40,000 DPI. While nobody actually plays games at 40,000 DPI, a high maximum sensitivity usually means the sensor will track accurately and consistently at the lower settings most people actually use.

Along with the high DPI, the mouse has a maximum tracking speed of 750 IPS (inches per second) and up to 60G of acceleration. In everyday use, this just means the mouse can keep up with fast physical movements.

Xiaomi Gaming Mouse 2

Xiaomi also noted a maximum static frame rate of over 20,000 FPS and a 1 percent DPI precision rate, which includes a 1-to-1 factory calibration. According to the company, this setup is intended to prevent cursor drift and frame drops during both small micro-adjustments and larger movements.

Looking at the promotional images, the design is fairly standard. It has a symmetrical shape, but it includes two side buttons on the left edge, making it best suited for right-handed users. Xiaomi is marketing it as an esports mouse, pointing to the sensor, internal controller, and factory tuning as proof of its competitive focus.

Of course, a spec sheet doesn’t tell the whole story. The shape, weight, and overall feel are usually what make or break a gaming mouse. Xiaomi hasn’t shared the weight, battery life, wireless polling rate, or price yet. The company usually prices its devices lower than traditional gaming competitors like Logitech or Razer, but we won’t know how it actually compares until it officially launches.

Oppo Reno X tipped as a compact wide-slab phone with 16:10 aspect ratio screen

Oppo has started preparing the Reno 16 series for launch, with pre-reservations now open in China. A new leak, however, suggests the company is working on an entirely different Reno phone that sits somewhere between a traditional slab and a foldable, without actually folding.

According to tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS), they have gotten hands-on with an engineering prototype of what is referred to as the “Reno X.” And its description is a bit unusual for a regular phone.

Oppo Reno X Specifications (Rumored)

The device reportedly features a 6.39-inch flat display, but with a resolution of “21xx×13xx” and an aspect ratio closer to 16:10. That’s noticeably wider than most modern smartphones, which typically stick to tall, narrow designs.

The idea here, at least based on the leak, is that this phone mimics the experience of a foldable, just without the hinge.

Oppo Reno X leak

Moreover, the prototype is said to run on a Dimensity 9-series flagship chipset, and the battery is reportedly capped at around 7,000mAh.

On the camera side, the device is rumored to feature a triple-camera system with a 50-megapixel main sensor and a periscope telephoto lens.

A user in the comments shared a model design of a device measuring 143mm by 91mm, to which DCS replied that the purported Reno X looks pretty much the same.

Oppo Reno X possible design

As for the launch, the tipster says the current internal plan for the Oppo Reno X is to debut alongside the company’s annual flagship lineup, likely referring to the Oppo Find X10 series. This clears up any confusion about whether it will launch with the Reno 16 series.

Digital Chat Station also notes that the final specifications of the phone are “yet to be determined.” So what’s mentioned above could change in the development cycle. We’ll keep you in the loop as more updates emerge.

Xiaomi’s new Fascia Gun 3 brings long-handle design for full-body massage at $45

Xiaomi has had a line of massage guns in its portfolio for a few years now. The company is adding a new model today, the Xiaomi Long-Handled Fascia Gun 3, which will go on crowdfunding on May 13th through the Xiaomi Youpin platform. 

The crowdfunding price is set at 299 yuan (~ $44); however, the price will reach 399 yuan (~ $59) once the campaign ends on May 20th.

Xiaomi Long Handled Fascia Gun 3 Launch Specs Price

The headline spec here is a 12kg thrust with a mass depth of up to 6mm. It can actually get into your muscle tissue and break down lactic acid buildup rather than just buzzing on the surface.

A more interesting and practical feature of the Gun 3 is its dual-handle design. You can switch its head with a long handle (useful for reaching your back) and a short handle for standard use, with a simple plug-and-twist mechanism. 

Xiaomi Long-Handled Fascia Gun 3 Specifications

The device runs on a brushless motor tucked into an integrated body. It supports three speed levels across two modes. Fixed frequency for steady, consistent pressure (good for post-workout), and variable frequency for alternating light and heavy pressure (more suited to everyday relaxation). There’s also intelligent gear memory, so the gun remembers your last setting when you switch it back on. It weighs just 680 grams.

Xiaomi Long Handled Fuscia Gun 3 Design

The gun has a velocity indicator ring that changes color based on how much pressure you’re applying. White means the right amount, Orange is if you push a bit hard.

The Xiaomi Long Handled Fascia Gun 3 can run up to 30 days with its built-in 1900mAh pack. The claim is likely, considering that you will use it for short sessions and not a continuous single run. 

It comes with three interchangeable massage heads, letting you target different muscle groups with different contact shapes.

The air purifier costs 1,799 yuan (~ $263), though Xiaomi is currently offering it at a reduced price of 1,399 yuan (~ $204) during the initial sales window.

Xiaomi MIjia Air Purifier 6 Specs Launch Price

Xiaomi Mijia Air Purifier 6 Specifications

Inside, the Mijia Air Purifier 6 uses a dual-filter architecture combined with a dual-fan blade setup to create what Xiaomi calls a “dual-airflow” system. Practically, that means faster air circulation and higher purification capacity compared to the previous generation.

Xiaomi MIjia Air Purifier 6 Specifications

Xiaomi claims the new purifier can remove up to 99% of formaldehyde within two hours, and 99.99% of PM10 in just one hour. Tree pollen allergens, a common concern in many regions, are reduced by 98.9% over the same period. The overall particulate matter purification efficiency is 1.7 times better than before.

The purifier also has a six-layer composite filtration system, including a primary filter for larger debris, an antibacterial layer, a high-density formaldehyde filter, a nano-level precision filter, a specialized carbon layer for chemical absorption, and a UV sterilization layer reducing bacteria and viruses. 

On the hardware side, the Mijia Air Purifier 6 is designed to deliver high airflow — up to 11,666 liters per minute — while maintaining relatively quiet operation at 26.6dB(A). It also features a closed top design to prevent dust buildup, with a flat surface that can double as a small storage area.

Xiaomi MIjia Air Purifier 6 Specs

The device includes six built-in sensors to monitor air quality factors like PM1, PM2.5, dust, formaldehyde, temperature, and humidity. It is compatible with Xiaomi’s HyperOS ecosystem, so you can connect it with other smart home devices.

Xiaomi’s Redmi Watch 6 has gone international with a 24-day battery promise

Xiaomi has started selling the Redmi Watch 6 and Redmi Watch 6 NFC outside China, months after the smartwatch first launched in its home market in October. The international rollout currently covers Poland, Romania, and Thailand, though the NFC model is available only in Poland for now.

Smartwatch

The Redmi Watch 6 features a 2.07-inch AMOLED display with a 60Hz refresh rate, 324ppi pixel density, 2mm symmetrical bezels and an 82% screen-to-body ratio. Xiaomi says the panel can reach up to 2,000 nits of peak brightness, which should help with outdoor visibility. The watch also supports an always-on display and raise-to-wake functionality.

The smartwatch has a 9.9mm body and uses a unibody design with an aluminum alloy frame. Xiaomi says it is 1.4mm thinner than the previous generation, with 20% higher Vickers hardness and a 40% higher yield point. The design includes a raised stainless steel dial and an extra physical button. The added button can open the control center, access the shutdown or restart menu, and trigger an emergency contact shortcut when pressed three times.

Battery life is another major specification. The Redmi Watch 6 packs a 550mAh battery rated for up to 24 days with light use, 12 days with normal use, and seven days with intensive use. It also includes a linear motor with more than 20 vibration patterns for alarms, notifications, fitness alerts, and health updates.

For fitness and outdoor tracking, the watch supports more than 150 sports modes, 5ATM water resistance and independent GNSS. The GNSS setup uses dual L1 antennas and supports five systems for improved positioning accuracy. Xiaomi says the watch can automatically select the antenna with the stronger signal based on how it is being worn.

Health features include 24/7 heart rate monitoring, blood oxygen tracking, stress monitoring, sleep analysis, breathing exercises, abnormal heart rate alerts, low blood oxygen vibration alerts and women’s health management.

GOBOULT’s new Mustang speakers bring Marshall-style looks at budget prices

GOBOULT has launched two new portable Bluetooth speakers in India under its Mustang-branded lineup, the Mustang GT20 and Mustang GT40. The speakers bring an automotive-inspired design, but the boxy shape, textured body, front grille, and prominent script-style branding may also look familiar to anyone who has seen Marshall-style speakers.

The Mustang GT20 is the smaller model in the lineup. It offers 20W sound output and uses dual dynamic drivers with a passive bass radiator. GOBOULT has added several car-themed design touches, including a leather-textured finish, metallic race grille, Mustang branding, underbody DRLs, and traction-inspired base detailing.

The GT20 also includes an ignition-style shift-stick control that works like a push-start mechanism and plays a sound effect. There is a fuel-gauge-style battery indicator and RGB lighting as well. For connectivity, the speaker supports Bluetooth 6.0, TWS pairing, TF card playback, and USB playback. It offers up to 7 hours of battery life and carries an IPX4 rating for water resistance.

GOBOULT Mustang GT 40 BT Speaker

The Mustang GT40 sits above it as the more powerful option. It delivers 40W output and also uses dual dynamic drivers with a passive bass radiator. The design keeps the same automotive theme, with a leather-textured body, metallic race grille, Mustang detailing, reinforced corner structure, and a leatherette carrying strap.

Unlike the GT20, the GT40 comes with dedicated metallic knobs for bass, treble, and volume control. It also includes a fuel-gauge-style battery display. Connectivity options remain the same, with Bluetooth 6.0, TWS stereo pairing, Bluetooth playback, TF card support, and USB playback. Battery life is rated at up to 7 hours, and the speaker also gets IPX4 water resistance.

Pricing & availability

The Mustang GT20 is priced at Rs. 2,999, while the Mustang GT40 is priced at Rs. 3,999. Both speakers are available in India from today through GOBOULT’s official website and online platforms, including Amazon.in, Flipkart, and Myntra.

Casio launches five neon-accented Electro Green G-Shock watches in the US

Casio has brought its new Electro Green G-Shock collection to the US. First announced in Japan earlier this April, the lineup takes five of the company’s existing watch models and updates them with a new color scheme. The design is straightforward: a standard matte black case and band, paired with neon green text and a green-tinted LCD panel.

Casio GD-010BEG-1, GA-B2100BEG-1A, GA-100BEG-1A, GA-B010BEG-1A, GA-700BEG-1A

Specs and Pricing

The collection ranges from $110 to $180, split between standard battery-powered models and slightly more expensive versions equipped with Bluetooth and solar charging.

At the top of the price list is the $180 GA-B010BEG-1A. Along with the standard shock and water resistance, it includes Casio’s Tough Solar charging system and Bluetooth connectivity. You can link it to the Casio smartphone app to automatically sync the time, ping your phone if you lose it, and adjust the watch’s alarms. It also features a built-in step tracker.

The $165 GA-B2100BEG-1A shares the solar charging and Bluetooth features but skips the step tracker, opting instead for the familiar octagonal case design often referred to as the CasiOak. Both of these connected models are built using Casio’s bio-based carbon and resin materials.

For those who just want a traditional watch without app connectivity, there are three other options. The $110 GD-010BEG-1 is the only fully digital watch in the group. It also uses bio-based resin and runs on a standard CR2025 battery that Casio estimates will last about 10 years.

The remaining two models are analog-digital hybrids made from standard resin. The GA-100BEG-1A costs $120 and includes a magnetic-resistant case along with a speed indicator dial, running on a two-year battery. The GA-700BEG-1A is priced at $110, features a five-year battery, and has a large front-facing button to activate the LED backlight.

As expected from the G-Shock line, all five watches share a baseline set of features. They are shock-resistant, water-resistant up to 200 meters, and include basic functions like stopwatches, countdown timers, world time, and daily alarms.

The Electro Green series is available now through Casio’s website and US retailers.

In related news, Casio has recently introduced two new affordable AE1600HX digital watches in the US, alongside the launch of two Star Wars-themed G-Shock models.

Honor Play 70C debuts at $90 with MediaTek Helio G81 Ultra chip

Alongside the Honor Play 80 Plus, Honor today announced another budget smartphone called the Honor Play 70C. The phone gets the basics right and targets the most entry-level segment. 

The phone starts at 599 yuan (around $90) for the 4GB RAM and 64GB storage version. There are two other configurations: 4GB + 128GB at 699 yuan and 6GB + 128GB at 799 yuan. 

Honor Play 70C launch specs price

Honor Play 70C Specifications

For the price, the Honor Play 70C features a 6.75-inch IPS LCD with a 90Hz refresh rate and a 720 × 1600 resolution. The panel includes a waterdrop notch that houses a 5MP front-facing camera, which is about what you’d expect at this price point.

On the back, the device has a single 13MP main camera capable of shooting 1080p video and supporting up to 10x digital zoom.

Honor Play 70C Colors

Powering the phone is the MediaTek Helio G81 Ultra chipset, paired with up to 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. It’s backed by a relatively large 5,300mAh battery.

The Play 70C runs Android 15 with MagicOS 9.0 out of the box. Connectivity options include dual SIM 4G, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.1, GPS, and even a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Honor is offering the phone in multiple color options, including Midnight Black, Moonlight Silver, and Ocean Blue (also referred to as Ink Rock Black, Moonlit Silver, and Lake Blue in some listings). The device itself is fairly slim at 7.89mm and weighs 186 grams.

Honor Play 70C battery

The Honor Play 80 Plus is a better phone with a larger 7,500mAh battery and a Snapdragon 4 Gen 4 chipset. But the Play 70C sticks to the basics, a low-cost phone that focuses on battery life, modest performance, and just enough features to get by.

Ugreen launches new 45W 10,000mAh power bank with built-in PD3.0 USB-C cable

Ugreen has introduced a new 45W power bank, the Rhythm Series S45 (model PB603), currently listed on JD.com in China for 199 yuan ($29). It features a standard 10,000mAh capacity and is designed to address a very common annoyance: remembering your battery pack but forgetting the charging cable. By integrating a built-in USB-C cable, it offers a straightforward solution for keeping your devices powered on the go.

Ugreen PB603 Power Bank Specifications

The device measures 152 x 71 x 29.8 mm. On the outside, it has a ripple-textured finish to help with grip and a small TFT digital display on the front to clearly show the remaining battery percentage.

The built-in 45W USB-C cable sits at the top, supports the PD3.0 fast charging standard, and features a braided finish to handle standard wear and tear. Ugreen hasn’t detailed the rest of the port selection yet.

Inside the casing, the power bank uses ATL battery cells, which are generally known in the industry for their reliability. Ugreen notes that this model includes updated battery technology aimed at extending its overall lifespan.

The company states the new model offers a 166% improvement in charge cycle longevity over its previous generation, which was rated for around 300 cycles.

Ugreen 45W 10000mAh power bank

For safety, it uses a proprietary Battery Management System (BMS) to monitor charging conditions. According to the company, the device has gone through over 150 testing procedures to meet China’s latest 3C safety standards.

Some of these tests are quite specific, for instance, Ugreen says the battery cell passed a puncture test with a 4mm steel needle and withstood 1.43 tons of pressure without catching fire or failing. It also reportedly survived a 135°C heat chamber test.

To keep things cool during standard 45W fast charging, the device relies on a four-layer cooling system. This includes high thermal conductivity graphene materials and an NTC intelligent temperature control system that Ugreen says performs up to 360,000 temperature checks per hour to prevent overheating.

In related news, OnePlus has recently introduced a 15,000mAh power bank with 120W fast charging and advanced battery safety technology.

10 Best Selling Phones in Q1 2026: iPhone 17 Lineup Sweeps Top Three Positions

The global smartphone market in early 2026 turned out to be increasingly top-heavy. According to market research firm Counterpoint Research, the iPhone 17 was the best-selling smartphone globally in Q1 2026, grabbing 6% of all global smartphone sales on its own. 

The iPhone 17 Pro Max and iPhone 17 Pro followed right behind in second and third place, meaning Apple owned the top three spots on the list entirely.

top 10 smartphones q1 2026

Senior analyst Harshit Rastogi says the iPhone 17 outperformed its predecessor by a clear margin. The base model got meaningful upgrades this time with more storage out of the box, a higher-resolution camera, and a faster screen refresh rate. This narrowed the gap between the standard and Pro models, which seems to have pushed more buyers toward the cheaper option. 

Sales in China and the US grew by double digits year-over-year. South Korea was even better, where sales tripled compared to the previous generation.

Android’s budget segment dominates the market

On the Android side, Samsung dominated with five spots in the top ten, all from its Galaxy A budget lineup. The Galaxy A07 4G was the top-selling Android phone of the quarter, driven by demand in the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America. Samsung is now promising six years of software updates on these devices. 

The Galaxy S26 Ultra didn’t crack the top ten, though Samsung says it opened stronger than the S25 Ultra did.

Redmi A5

The only Chinese brand to make the list was Xiaomi, with the Redmi A5 landing at number ten. It’s also the cheapest device on the list and has held steady demand in emerging markets since launch.

All in all, the top ten phones accounted for 25% of all global smartphone sales, the highest share ever recorded for a first quarter. Two things explain that: iPhone 17 demand stayed strong, and a memory chip shortage pushed up component costs, which squeezed Android manufacturers trying to compete at lower price points.

Counterpoint’s Karn Chauhan says the overall phone market is likely to shrink in 2026, with the budget segment taking the hardest hit. Manufacturers seem to know this already, as most are shifting resources toward higher-end products rather than racing to sell volume.
