Samsung has ended software support for the Galaxy Note 20 series — this means no OS updates and security patches. Released in 2020, these were the last Galaxy Note models. Now, five years later, Samsung has ended software support for them.
The Galaxy Note 20 series, which includes the Note 20, Note 20 5G, Note 20 Ultra, and Note 20 Ultra 5G, was listed under a biannual software update cycle before reaching the end of its life — meaning they were receiving only two software updates a year. While they are unlikely to receive any software updates going forward, if there’s a major security problem affecting these models, users can expect a fix via an update.
The Galaxy Note is now a history
Samsung released the Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra in August 2020, both featuring Android 10 out of the box. At that time, we weren’t expecting them to be the last Galaxy Note models. However, the brand passed on some Galaxy Note traits, like S Pen and some design principles, to the Ultra models in the Galaxy S series.
In the last five years, Samsung has released three major Android upgrades to the Galaxy Note 20 models, as promised. These devices received monthly security patches for a long period before they were moved to a quarterly update cycle, and later to a biannual update cycle.
Every month, Samsung updates the security scope page that tells us how frequently a Galaxy device will receive security updates. Last month, the Galaxy Note 20 models were listed in the biannual category, but they are now nowhere to be found on the list, meaning they will no longer receive security updates.
If you own a Galaxy Note 20 or Note 20 Ultra, you’ll remain stuck on Android 13 and the security patch your device currently has. You are already missing out on plenty of excellent features and upgrades from Samsung and Google that were packed into major One UI builds in recent years.
While you can continue to use your Galaxy Note 20, it will no longer receive security fixes via updates. That means it won’t be safe, especially if your device stores critical data.
If you’re looking for upgrade options, there are plenty. You can upgrade to a Galaxy S25 model (S25 Ultra review) or the Galaxy Z Fold 7. Both devices pack excellent hardware and offer seven years of Android updates and security patches.
The Oppo A6 Pro 5G is officially confirmed to launch on Sept. 9 in China. The company has already released a teaser highlighting the phone’s display, but no specifications have been disclosed so far. However, ahead of its debut, a China Telecom listing has surfaced online, offering a full look at the device’s design and detailed specifications.

Oppo A6 Pro 5G
According to the listing, the Oppo A6 Pro 5G (model number PLN110) will arrive with a 6.57-inch AMOLED display delivering an FHD+ resolution of 1080 x 2376 pixels. It is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 (MT6878) chipset, paired with options of 8 GB, 12 GB, or 16 GB of RAM and storage choices of 256 GB and 512 GB. The device does not support expandable storage.
For photography, the phone is expected to feature a dual rear camera setup, led by a 50-megapixel primary sensor and supported by a 2-megapixel secondary sensor. On the front, there is a 16-megapixel selfie camera housed within the display.
One of the highlights of the Oppo A6 Pro 5G is its 7,000mAh battery. Likely, it will arrive with support for 80W charging. The phone will run Android 15 out of the box, skinned with Oppo’s ColorOS 15.
Other features include NFC support, dual SIM slots, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, USB-C, and an in-screen fingerprint sensor. In terms of design, the handset will measure 158.16 x 74.99 x 7.96 mm and weigh 190 grams. It has a plastic build and is likely to carry an IP68/69 rating as per reports. iI will be available in shades like Gold, Black, and Cyan.

Nubia recently confirmed that the Red Magic 11 will be announced in October in China. Apart from the gaming-focused phone, the brand is also expected to be working on the Z80 Ultra, which will be a photography-focused offering. Its arrival seems to be close at hand as the device has received approval from the MIIT certification platform in China. Additionally, tipster Smart Pikachu has shared key details about the device’s specifications.

Nubia Z80 Ultra (NX741J) MIIT certified
As can be seen above, an upcoming Nubia phone bearing the model number NX741J has been approved by China’s MIIT authority. It is speculated that this device could be called the Nubia Z80 Ultra when it hits the market.
Nubia Z80 Ultra key specifications (rumored)
Nubia Z80 Ultra key specifications
According to tipster Smart Pikachu, the upcoming Z80 Ultra will feature a customized upgraded periscope telephoto camera alongside a “photographer’s edition” primary camera. It will be equipped with a new-generation full-screen display, which will probably have an under-display selfie camera like its predecessor.
It is also expected to house a very large battery of around 7,000mAh capacity. While the other specs of the device remain a mystery, it is expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC.
To recall, the Nubia Z70 Ultra was unveiled in November 2024. With CMIIT certification already done, it appears that the Z80 Ultra may launch as early as next month (October) in China.
In related news, the Nubia Red Magic 11 is set for an October launch. It will arrive with seven key improvements: first-ever IP68 water resistance, an upgraded active fan cooling system, the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, a larger 8,000mAh battery, a new gaming-focused touch control chip, a true full-screen display with an under-display camera, and a refreshed cyberpunk-inspired design with 3D micro-engraving and RGB lighting.

Anker has launched a new addition to its Nano lineup in the US: the Nano Charger (70W, 3 Ports). Small in size but big on output, the charger promises to handle everything from smartphones to laptops without weighing down your bag. For anyone tired of carrying multiple bulky bricks, this little adapter could be a solid all-in-one option.
The new charger, also known as model A121A, first appeared in China as the Nano SafeCharge Ultra before making its way stateside. It packs two USB-C ports and one USB-A, with up to 70W from a single USB-C port — enough to bring a 2024 MacBook Pro 14 to 50 percent in about 35 minutes. Using both USB-C ports splits the power (60W + 5W), while pairing USB-C with the USB-A gives 45W and 22.5W – a perfect combination to power an iPhone and the latest Galaxy S Ultra at the same time. With all three ports active, the first USB-C still delivers 45W, and the other two drop to 7.5W each.
It’s a clever split that makes sense for charging a phone or a more power-hungry laptop, along with smaller accessories like earphones that typically need less than 5W.
The charger is 41 percent smaller than Apple’s 70W adapter, coming in at 2.1 x 1.7 x 1.2 inches (53 x 43 x 30 mm) and weighing just 4.2 oz (120 g). It also has a glossy finish, a metal frame, foldable pins, and a design that stays stable in wall sockets. Anker’s ActiveShield 4.0 safety system constantly monitors temperature, so overheating shouldn’t be a concern even during heavy use.
The Anker Nano Charger is available now on Amazon US for $49.99, bundled with a 4.9 ft USB-C to USB-C cable. For the moment, it’s only offered in black, but white, pink, and green versions are expected to follow. Anker hasn’t confirmed release plans for Europe or other markets yet, though a wider rollout is likely later this year.
Several reports have claimed that OnePlus is preparing two flagship devices for the Chinese market, namely the OnePlus 15 and the Ace 6. Today, a new update has surfaced from reliable tipster Digital Chat Station. In addition to suggesting that both models will arrive in October, he has also revealed some insight into their positioning and hardware focus.
OnePlus 15 and Ace 6: What to expect?
According to the leak, the OnePlus 15 will be introduced as a “performance Ultra” model. Like how some brands define an “imaging Ultra,” this strategy will focus on maximizing performance-oriented aspects such as processing power, heat dissipation, and touch responsiveness. The aim is to push these features to the limit and appeal to users who value raw speed and stability.
On the other hand, the Ace 6 is said to be designed as a fully equipped variant within the mid-range segment. Its overall experience is expected to match that of Pro-level competitors, giving it a strong presence in its category. Interestingly, when asked about its battery, Digital Chat Station hinted that it would be larger than 7000mAh, though he did not disclose an exact figure.
While the October launch appears limited to China, the global schedule can be estimated from past patterns. The OnePlus 15 may debut internationally in January 2026, aligning with the previous generation’s timeline. As for the Ace 6, it could arrive globally in a modified form under the name OnePlus 15R.
OnePlus 15 AI-generated render
Recently, the OnePlus 15’s Chinese edition was spotted on Geekbench with specs like the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, 16GB of RAM, and Android 15. Its global version was recently spotted at TUV certification, hinting support for 120W fast charging.
Apart from these phones, the company is also said to be working on its first Turbo-branded phones for China. The affordable performance-focused phone is expected to launch before the end of this year.

OnePlus has shared the OxygenOS FAQ for August 2025, addressing user issues, feature limits, and update details.
Some users noticed that the font size of the Google dialer pad has become larger. This is caused by the latest Google Dialer update. The problem can be fixed by uninstalling the dialer updates through App info. OnePlus warns that this step will delete contacts and other data.
For the Private Safe feature, the system can only handle up to 999 photos or videos in a single batch. Adding more than that may cause the process to freeze. To move large amounts of content, users are advised to split the files into smaller batches.
A separate issue with a black shadow appearing in the center of the screen comes from a WhatsApp compatibility bug. Restarting the phone can temporarily fix the problem, and a software patch is planned for future updates.
The V100P01 update began rolling out on August 13 and was released to all supported devices by August 31. This version added new Private Safe options, including the ability to set custom covers for albums and videos, and the option to sort files by chronological order.
When asked about OxygenOS 16, OnePlus said there is no release timeline or device list available yet.
The FAQ also covered BeaconLink, the company’s short-range calling feature. It does not currently support Bluetooth accessories like headphones, watches, tablets, or cars. Calls can still be made while connected, but the audio will only come through the phone’s receiver.
Users can still receive and make SIM card calls while using BeaconLink. A SIM call will disconnect any ongoing BeaconLink call. To call friends with BeaconLink, users must enable the feature, search for nearby contacts, and tap the call button. Incoming calls are limited to contacts unless the setting is changed to allow calls from everyone.

Vivo, Oppo, Xiaomi, and Red Magic have started teasing the next-generation flagship phones. Honor has also joined the bandwagon by today teasing the arrival of the Honor Magic 8 series. Honor’s Flagship Series Product Manager Li Kun has hinted that the Honor Magic 8 Pro will be the next 200-megapixel telephoto camera king
Honor Magic 8 Pro to feature 200MP periscope telephoto camera
Honor Magic 8 Pro to feature 200MP periscope telephoto camera
As can be seen, Li Kun has said that Honor’s 200-megapixel telephoto camera king will be available soon. This Weibo post was released after reliable tipster Digital Chat Station shared following details about the Honor Magic 8 series, which is expected to break cover in October in China.
According to the source, the camera module of the Honor Magic 8 series will continue to be centrally aligned, although the flash placement has been altered compared to the previous generation. The setup includes a dToF sensor for depth measurement and an additional small, unidentified sensor, which remains undisclosed for now. The module itself is large, signalling significant upgrades, particularly for the Pro variant.
He added that the Honor Magic 8 Pro is tipped to feature a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera backed by a large sensor. The tipster noted that three brands this year are expected to adopt similar high-resolution telephoto lenses, placing Honor in direct competition with rivals. The main sensor’s base size is said to match that of Vivo’s latest Pro flagship, making it clear that Honor intends to challenge its competitor directly in imaging performance.
In terms of design, the prototype shows colour options including a classic black-and-white combination, along with a newly introduced glazed finish that adds a premium look. The comparison between Vivo and Honor is already being set up by enthusiasts, with October expected to reveal which company’s image tuning proves more effective.

Google’s Pixel 10 series grabbed attention this year as the first US Pixel lineup to go eSIM-only, ditching the traditional SIM tray altogether. But now, some users who sent their phones back for defects are reporting a surprise: their replacement units showed up with a physical SIM slot.
Pixel 10 Pro XL original (top) and replacement unit (bottom)
According to posts on social media platforms like Reddit, customers who returned their Pixel 10, 10 Pro, or 10 Pro XL for issues like scratched frames or display problems ended up receiving global variants of the phone. Unlike the US models, these versions include a nano-SIM slot alongside eSIM support, giving users more flexibility when swapping carriers or using local SIMs while traveling.
At first glance, that sounds like a free upgrade. But there’s a catch. According to Android Authority, these global models don’t support mmWave 5G, which US carriers like Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile still rely on in many areas. They’re also missing a few 5G bands (n29, n48, n70) used mostly by smaller MVNOs. For many people, the difference may not matter much, but anyone who depends on mmWave speeds could run into limitations. In those cases, Google support may need to step in with another option.
The bigger question is why this is happening. Is Google deliberately sending out global stock as replacements, or is it just a supply shuffle behind the scenes? Either way, it’s an odd twist for a phone that was meant to mark the US move toward an eSIM-only future.

On the display front, the Red Magic 11 is set to deliver a true full-screen experience by using under-display camera technology, eliminating cutouts and notches. Completing the list is a refreshed design language that follows a futuristic cyberpunk style with 3D micro-engraved patterns and RGB lighting.

Nothing has started rolling out the Nothing OS V3.5 update (version V3.5-250829-1700) for the Nothing Phone (3). The rollout is phased, so not all users will receive it at the same time.
The update adds new options to the Glyph Interface. Two Glyph Toys, Compass and Feed The Fly, can now be found under Settings. A Glyph Mirror feature has also been added to the Camera app, letting users see a live preview of their shot on the Glyph lights while taking photos or videos. It can be toggled by swiping down in the viewfinder.
The Camera app gets several improvements. A new “Stretch” preset, made with photographer Jordan Hemingway, introduces rich shadows and extended highlights. Responsiveness and image quality during continuous shooting have been improved, and shutter lag has been reduced so photos better match the preview.
Colour consistency has been enhanced across all rear cameras, zoom clarity has been improved between 6x and 60x, and HDR has been tuned for more natural brightness and detail in portraits and other scenes. Video calls on Messenger now show more accurate colours, and video quality in other third-party apps has also been improved.
General fixes and adjustments are part of the update. Vibration intensity for Generative mode ringtones has been modified, and playback issues with these ringtones have been resolved. The Stopwatch toy shutting off unexpectedly has been fixed, along with incorrect WhatsApp notifications on the Glyph Matrix.
Problems with resizing the Photo widget, displaying album covers and metadata in the Media Player widget, and Quick Settings tiles showing out of order have also been corrected. Touch response while playing Minecraft has been improved, and noise during calls has been fixed.
The update also improves overall system stability, Wi-Fi reliability, and includes the September 2025 security patch.

Meizu 22 launch has been delayed more than once, but the company has finally opened preorders this week. While early reports suggested the phone would ship with Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, a fresh leak from Digital Chat Station points to something different.
According to the tipster, the Meizu 22 will instead run on the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4. The chip is built on TSMC’s 4nm process and uses a “1+7” setup, with a single high-performance Cortex-X4 core alongside seven Cortex-A720 cores at varying clock speeds. Graphics are handled by the Adreno 825 GPU.
The same leak also reiterates that the phone will feature a LIPO OLED display with a slim 1.2mm bezel. The panel itself measures 6.3 inches, which is slightly smaller than the 6.55-inch screen on the Meizu 21.
On the camera front, Meizu is equipping the phone with a 72mm 3x periscope telephoto lens, backed by what the company describes as improved image processing. The company has even gone as far as comparing its samples to flagships like the Vivo X200 Ultra, Oppo Find X8 Ultra, and Huawei’s Pura 80 Ultra to show the camera prowess.
Meizu 22 to debut in August in China.
Powering everything is a 5,500mAh battery with support for 80W fast charging. The phone is expected to ship with Flyme AIOS based on Android 15, and leaks suggest it could also carry an IP68 rating.
Meizu previously said the Meizu 22 launch would happen in early to mid-September after the last delay. The company still hasn’t confirmed a new date, but an announcement should be coming soon. We will be sure to keep you updated on that.

Earlier this week, Vivo Product Manager Han Boxiao confirmed details about the primary camera of the Vivo X300 and the periscope telephoto camera of the Vivo X300 Pro. Following this, several users raised questions about why Vivo continues to focus on higher megapixel counts. To clarify, Boxiao used Weibo to provide deeper insight into the imaging setup and related features of both smartphones.

Apart from featuring a 200-megapixel Samsung HPB primary camera, the Vivo X300 will also feature an upgraded telephoto lens. Boxiao revealed that it will include a 50-megapixel Zeiss APO periscope telephoto supported by the custom Sony LYT-602 sensor.

Apple’s next big iPhone event is only days away, and with the iPhone 17 lineup on the horizon, there’s no better time to take stock of what the Apple ecosystem looks like today.
In 2025, building your own Apple setup isn’t just about buying a single device; it’s about weaving together a family of products and services that are designed to work in harmony. From iPhones and Macs to Apple Watch, AirPods, and even Vision Pro, Apple’s strategy is clear: every device should make the others better.
Start with the iPhone
The iPhone remains the entry point for most people. The current iPhone 16 series, powered by the A18 Pro chip and Apple’s 16-core Neural Engine, already delivers fast AI processing and camera capabilities that set the standard for mobile devices. Features like Visual Intelligence, where you point the camera at a sign and instantly get contextual actions, show how Apple is tying AI into everyday use.
The upcoming iPhone 17 lineup is expected to push this further with ProMotion displays across all models, Apple’s first in-house 5G modem, and rumored 8K video recording on the Pro variants. But even if you don’t jump to the newest release, last year’s iPhones will still run iOS 26 and will get years of updates. That longevity is part of the value: Apple keeps older iPhones relevant longer than most Android competitors.
Macs and iPads
Once you have an iPhone, the next logical step is a Mac or an iPad. Both devices now run on Apple’s custom silicon, giving them unmatched efficiency and long battery life. MacBooks with M4 chips offer desktop-class performance in slim designs. macOS ties seamlessly into iOS through Handoff, AirDrop, and Universal Clipboard, making switching between phone and computer frictionless.
The iPad has grown into a credible laptop alternative. The iPad Pro’s OLED display and M-series chips give it the horsepower for pro apps like Photoshop or Final Cut Pro, while features like Stage Manager and Apple Pencil support turn it into a flexible work and creative tool. The beauty here is continuity: take a photo on your iPhone, edit it on your iPad, and finish the project on your Mac; everything syncs over iCloud.
Apple Watch and AirPods
Apple Watch and AirPods aren’t just accessories; they’re extensions of the iPhone. The Apple Watch has become a health and fitness hub with features like ECG, fall detection, and even car crash alerts. The upcoming Series 11 could bring new display tech and improved sensors, but even the affordable Apple Watch SE delivers the essentials.
AirPods, especially the AirPods Pro 2, bring spatial audio, active noise cancellation, and near-instant pairing. They switch automatically between devices, so you can move from a FaceTime call on your iPhone to music on your MacBook without diving into settings. Together, these devices let you leave your phone at home, take calls on your wrist, and enjoy high-quality audio on the go, all while staying connected.
HomePod and Apple TV
In the living room, HomePod and Apple TV tie your Apple devices together. The HomePod mini or HomePod (2nd gen) acts as a HomeKit hub for smart devices, while also handling multi-room audio and Siri commands.
Apple TV 4K doubles as a streaming box, gaming console, and smart home controller. Both devices are plug-and-play with iPhone, pulling in your Apple ID and settings without hassle.
Vision Pro
Apple’s newest product, the Vision Pro headset, shows where the ecosystem is headed. It integrates directly with iCloud, syncs with your Mac as a giant virtual display, and uses AirPods Pro for low-latency audio.
It’s still expensive and niche, but for those already in Apple’s world, it feels less like a standalone gadget and more like an advanced extension of the ecosystem.
Services
Hardware alone doesn’t create an ecosystem. Apple’s services, including iCloud, Apple Music, TV+, Fitness+, and the all-in-one Apple One bundle, serve as the connective tissue. iCloud ensures your files, photos, and notes are always available.
Apple One gives families a way to share subscriptions at a lower cost. And with Apple’s push into “Apple Intelligence,” AI features like Live Translation and generative tools are being rolled into the operating system, always with an emphasis on privacy and on-device processing.
How to Build Without Breaking the Bank
The ecosystem can be expensive, but there are ways to enter gradually. Start with the iPhone, then add an Apple Watch or AirPods for daily convenience. Refurbished Macs and iPads are a smart buy, since Apple’s long software support keeps them useful for years.
Trade-in programs also soften the cost of upgrades. If you share with family, Apple One subscriptions make services like Music, TV+, and Fitness+ far more economical.
The Bottom Line
In 2025, Apple’s ecosystem is broader and more connected than ever. It stretches from your pocket to your wrist, across your living room, and even into immersive spaces with Vision Pro. The real strength lies not in any single device, but in how they all work together.
For those who value seamless integration, privacy, and longevity, Apple’s walled garden feels less like a restriction and more like a carefully designed tech lifestyle.
