Dreame has officially launched the T50 Mix floor scrubber in China, following the earlier debut of the T50 Dreamer model. The scrubber is priced at 3,349 yuan ($468) and is now available for purchase on JD.com.
Dreame T50 Mix Specifications
The T50 Mix features a 5-in-1 cleaning system that supports floor washing, vacuuming, drying, sterilization, and hair detangling. It is equipped with Dreame’s updated Lingbu AI Mechanical Arm 2.0, which adjusts dynamically to reach corners and edges more accurately. According to the company, this arm increases grime detection sensitivity by 37% and enhances effective edge cleaning by 50%.
The scrubber delivers 22,000Pa suction via Dreame’s 170AW motor and multi-cone cyclone system, paired with a 5-layer sealed filter that traps 99.9% of dust mites. Its 480 RPM roller brush exerts 21.18N pressure for effective scrubbing.
Dreame includes the Swiss PPA hair-cutting comb blade 2.0 in this model, which is designed to prevent hair tangling. The company claims it can handle up to 1,000 strands of long hair without clogging or interruption.
The T50 Mix supports a 100°C hot water deep-cleaning system, described as “Volcano Lake immersion wash,” which sterilizes internal components such as the roller brush, ducts, and water tanks. It also includes real-time electrolyzed water sterilization. For drying, the machine uses dual-chain drying with 100°C near-infrared heating and moisture sensors to automatically stop once the components are dry.
The device integrates LingTan multi-spectrum stain detection, which identifies various types of dirt such as liquids, powders, and fine particles. It adjusts cleaning time and power in real time based on the type and amount of detected dirt.
The 4000mAh removable battery delivers up to 65 minutes in gentle mode and 46 minutes in vacuum mode, with support for hot-swapping extra packs. It features a built-in display, voice guidance, and app control for scheduling, filter checks, and mode switching.
In related news, Xiaomi has recently introduced the Mijia 5C robot vacuum featuring 15,000Pa suction and its first edge-mopping technology. Meanwhile, Ecovacs has launched the X11 robot vacuum and mop with a powerful 24,800Pa suction system and support for rapid charging.

The Galaxy S24 series received the first One UI 8 beta update earlier this month, and now the second beta has arrived. As one would expect, there are several bug fixes and a new September 2025 security patch. Nothing else is mentioned in the changelog, but further investigation reveals that Samsung has actually added three new AI features.
The AI features included with the second One UI 8 beta update are Audio Eraser v2, Call Captions, and Now Brief. The Audio Eraser v2 and Call Captions features were first spotted in the initial One UI 8 betas of Galaxy S25.
The Now Brief, though, isn’t a brand new feature. It debuted on the Galaxy S25 series with One UI 7, but Samsung didn’t bring this feature to any other Galaxy device with the One UI 7 update. That’s changing, as the One UI 8 beta for the S24 series includes this feature. A few other Galaxy devices may also receive this feature with the stable release.
This is an AI-powered feature that provides users with a personalized daily briefing of selected content that updates throughout the day. It’s accessible via the Now Bar, through a widget on the home screen, and the Edge panel. This feature displays bite-sized information such as weather updates, upcoming events, health insights, reminders, and missed calls.
Now Brief is designed to keep users organized and informed by delivering relevant, timely updates. The good thing is that Samsung processes most of its personalized data on the device itself rather than fully relying on the cloud. The company uses Personal Data Engine (PDE) and Knox Vault security to store and process user data locally, while also ensuring the data remains private and protected on the device.
Audio Eraser v2
Samsung’s Audio Eraser feature, debuted with One UI 7, uses AI to automatically identify audio tracks in a video and remove background noise. The tool can identify up to six distinct sound sources in a video and allows users to reduce, remove, or enhance individual sound types based on their needs.
One UI 8 beta brings an upgraded Audio Eraser that also works with Samsung Notes and Voice Recorder (previously limited to Gallery). In both of these apps, once you record the audio, a small Galaxy AI icon appears below the audio; tapping it instantly removes the noise from the audio. So, the improved Audio Eraser doesn’t require a dedicated screen to remove noise. Samsung has also made the feature faster inside the Gallery app.
Call Captions
The new Call captions feature, spotted in the second One UI 8 beta for the S24 series, provides real-time captions for voice calls using AI. When enabled, it transcribes what the other person says during a voice call. This can be pretty helpful in noisy environments or for people with hearing difficulties.
Lenovo’s Project Pivo just surfaced in a new leak, which revealed a concept laptop with a rotating display. This model is expected to debut during the upcoming IFA 2025 event, but it might just be one of multiple Lenovo notebooks arriving at this conference.
Lenovo ThinkPad X9 Aura Glacier White Edition
Here’s Every New ThinkPad Model Arriving at IFA
The latest leak was shared by known tipster Evan Blass, who previously shed light on the rotating display laptop. He claimed that the Chinese tech giant is working on unveiling a series of new ThinkPads for the global market during the IFA 2025 event.
Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 8
Alongside Project Pivo, Lenovo is expected to unveil the ThinkPad P1 Gen 8, ThinkPad P14s Gen 6, ThinkPad P16s Gen 4, ThinkPad P16 Gen 3, ThinkPad P16v Gen 3, ThinkPad X9 Aura Edition 14 Glacier White, and ThinkPad X9 Aura Edition 15 Glacier White.
Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 6
To recall, the IFA 2025 event will be hosted in Berlin from 5th September 2025 to 9th September 2025. Back in July 2025, the company unveiled the ThinkPad X9 Aura Edition laptops in a new “Moonlight White” finish in China. So this is just a wider release.
Lenovo ThinkPad P16s Gen 4
Over six ThinkPad laptops are set to debut soon with Evan Blass confirming new Intel processors powering the ThinkPad P1 Gen 8, ThinkPad P14s Gen 6, ThinkPad P16s Gen 4, ThinkPad P16 Gen 3 and ThinkPad P16v Gen 3.

Samsung’s next big experiment in foldable tech is confirmed for a Q3 launch, and the date may be closer than expected. Fresh leaks now suggest the company is adding features that could make the device more practical than its prototype predecessors.
Wireless charging, reverse charging, and NFC
Tipster @TechHighest shared three animations on X that appear to come from Samsung’s One UI 8 software. The clips highlight key functions of the upcoming tri-folding device, including wireless charging, reverse wireless charging, and NFC payments.
One animation shows the TriFold resting on a wireless charging pad, with charging coils located on the rightmost panel when folded. Another demonstrates reverse wireless charging, allowing the phone to top up accessories like earbuds. The third clip confirms NFC payments will work even when the phone is fully unfolded.
The TriFold is expected to use a triple-fold design with two inward hinges forming a “G” shape, similar to Samsung’s Flex G concept shown at MWC 2025. Leaks point to a 10.1-inch inner display, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, and a 200MP main camera. On the software side, One UI 8 may introduce a new “Split Trio” mode for multitasking across the large screen.
Pricing hasn’t been confirmed, but early estimates put it between $3,000 and $3,499. Samsung could share more at its IFA 2025 press event on September 4.
If the leaks are accurate, the Galaxy Z TriFold will mark Samsung’s boldest move yet in foldable technology. By combining wireless charging, reverse charging, and NFC with a slim tri-fold form factor, it could offer a mix of innovation and everyday convenience. Positioned against rivals like Huawei’s Mate XTs, the device might reshape what a foldable can do for power users and early adopters.
I’ve been writing about AR and XR glasses for a while, but the RayNeo Air 3s Pro is the first pair I’ve personally lived with for more than two weeks. Going in, I knew what to expect on paper: a brighter display than the standard Air 3s, upgraded audio, and some ergonomic refinements. What I didn’t expect was how much the “big screen anywhere” promise would actually hold up in practice.
Over the past two weeks, I’ve watched movies, gamed a little, and used the glasses as an external display for my laptop. The Air 3s Pro is not trying to be a futuristic mixed-reality headset. It’s a personal display, an external monitor you wear on your face. But in that narrow focus, it often shines brighter (literally and figuratively) than many of its rivals.
That said, these glasses aren’t perfect. But at $299, they sit in an approachable space where XR glasses start to make sense.
What’s in the Box
RayNeo keeps things simple. Inside the retail box, you’ll find:
Air 3s Pro glasses in matte black
Soft felt carrying pouch
1.2-meter USB-C cable with a downward-angled connector
Two swappable nose pads
Prescription lens frame insert
Quick start guide
That’s it. There’s no hard-shell travel case, no lens shade for ambient light reduction, and no optional adapters like the Pocket TV or JoyDock in my unit. RayNeo sells those separately. I really wish a braided cable and rigid case were included. These accessories aren’t just nice to have; they’re necessary for travel and daily wear.
Design and Build Quality
The Air 3s Pro looks nearly identical to the standard Air 3s but swaps the chrome highlights for a full matte black treatment. The design feels less flashy and more understated, which I prefer for commuting or casual public use.
It weighs 76 grams and is built from plastic that feels solid, not fragile. The matte coating helps cut down on fingerprints and unwanted reflections. The 9-point FlexiFit system remains, letting me tilt the lens arms, tweak the nose pad angles, and dial in a comfortable fit without much hassle.
There’s no smartphone app to mess with; everything happens right on the glasses. Brightness controls live on the right side, volume and menu buttons on the left. Hit that menu button, and you get an overlay with settings for refresh rate, audio modes, and color profiles. The USB-C port sits under the right temple, and while that angled connector helps the cable hang naturally, I still found it stiffer than I’d like.
The built-in visor blocks most ambient light, but it’s not a total blackout. In bright rooms or outdoors, you’ll definitely notice some glare creeping in. Unlike the Xreal Air 2 Pro, there’s no fancy electrochromic dimming, though RayNeo is apparently selling a clip-on shade accessory now.
Features
The hardware specs are impressive for the price.
Each eye sees a 0.6-inch Sony micro-OLED display pushing 1920×1080 resolution at up to 120Hz. The peak brightness reaches 1,200 nits thanks to RayNeo’s new tandem OLED light engine, and it supports 20 brightness steps for granular control. These are the brightest AR glasses I’ve used to date.
The visuals are powered by RayNeo’s HueView 2.0 system, which promises sharper edges, accurate colors, and better contrast. It hits 98% of the DCI-P3 color space and maintains ΔE < 2 color accuracy, which shows in movies and HDR video. Contrast is rated at 200,000 to 1, and it really helps blacks stay black and highlights pop.
There are six display presets: Movie, Game, Standard, Professional, Eye-Care, and Vision Boost. Eye-Care mode introduces a warmer tone to reduce strain in dark rooms.
Spatial audio is also here. RayNeo has built four speakers into the arms, two per side, using what they call a dual opposing acoustic chamber design. Sound is directed toward your ears while minimizing leakage. Whisper Mode 2.0 uses phase cancellation to prevent others nearby from hearing what you’re playing, unless the volume is maxed.
You can watch 3D SBS video too. Holding both rockers switches into 3D mode, and the depth effect is more convincing than I expected.
What’s missing: adjustable IPD, built-in diopter correction, and any screen repositioning. If your eyes don’t naturally align with the 14 by 7 mm eyebox, image sharpness may suffer.
Comfort
This was honestly what I was most curious about, and I’m happy to report that comfort really isn’t an issue. At 76 grams, they’re light enough for movie marathons or multi-hour work sessions without causing fatigue.
RayNeo says they reduced the clamping force by 15% compared to the standard Air 3s, and I can feel the difference. Once you get the fit dialed in, they just feel like wearing a chunky pair of sunglasses.
The nose pads are soft and flexible, and that adjustment system really does accommodate different face shapes well. It took me a few minutes of fiddling to get the temple angle and nose pad position just right, but once I did, everything clicked.
If you wear prescription glasses, trying to layer these on top is pretty awkward and gets uncomfortable fast. The prescription insert works if you want to invest in custom lenses, but that’s extra money on top of an already $299 purchase.
The only real discomfort I noticed was during longer sessions, my right temple area would get a bit warm after an hour or so, though never uncomfortably hot. Also, because the cable exits downward and slightly back, I couldn’t comfortably lean against a pillow or couch arm without it poking me awkwardly. I would’ve loved a side-mounted port or at least a swappable cable design for people who like to use these while lying down.
And can we talk about that cable for a second? The rubber coating feels pretty basic, almost cheap. For something that’s supposed to be portable entertainment gear, a braided cable should’ve been standard.
Performance
During my testing, the Air 3s Pro mostly served as a second screen for my Asus laptop, and in that role, they were excellent. The display genuinely feels like a 201-inch screen floating a few feet in front of you.
And the display is so bright that most of the time you won’t even need full brightness to enjoy movies or games. Even at 60% brightness, everything looks bright and crisp. I could write emails, scroll the web, or binge on entire movies while sitting comfortably.
Movies looked absolutely stunning. Those OLED blacks, the vibrant colors, the strong contrast, it all adds up to something that genuinely feels cinematic. Watching Oppenheimer and Interstellar on these glasses came surprisingly close to that mini-theater experience. I ran everything at 120Hz when possible, and you can really see the difference in fast motion, whether you’re gaming or just scrolling through web pages.
Gaming wasn’t my main focus, but I tested a few titles on my laptop. Latency was minimal, motion blur was well controlled, and the high refresh rate made everything feel responsive.
The one display quirk I noticed is that the bottom edge curves inward slightly. You might miss it during movies, but it can clip UI elements like the Windows taskbar clock or game HUDs that sit in the corners. Not a dealbreaker, just something to be aware of.
Audio quality genuinely surprised me. That four-speaker setup delivers clear dialogue, solid bass response, and convincing stereo separation. The spatial audio mode adds a sense of width and height that works particularly well for games and movies. Whisper Mode actually works too, I played a podcast at moderate volume while sitting next to someone, and they couldn’t hear anything.
That kind of private listening experience without needing earbuds or noise cancellation makes these perfect for shared spaces. I could enjoy my content while still being aware of what’s happening around me.
My biggest limitation was mobile compatibility. I daily drive an iPhone 14 Pro, and since these glasses need a USB-C DisplayPort connection, I couldn’t use them directly. RayNeo didn’t include any adapters with my review unit, so I couldn’t test the full mobile experience properly. I also didn’t get the Pocket TV accessory, which could’ve offered a completely different experience and possibly changed my overall opinion.
I did briefly test them with a friend’s Galaxy S24 Ultra, and Samsung DeX worked flawlessly. But without those adapters, your mobile experience will totally depend on what devices you already own.
Final Thoughts
The RayNeo Air 3s Pro isn’t trying to revolutionize AR. It won’t pin virtual windows around your living room, it doesn’t do 6DOF head tracking, and it’s not going to replace your main monitor. But as a personal entertainment device? It’s genuinely impressive.
If you love movies, travel frequently, or just want a second screen without the desk space requirements, this is one of the best plug-and-play options available right now. The display is sharp, the brightness is industry-leading, and the audio is good enough that you can ditch your earbuds entirely.
The limitations matter: no dimmable visor, no IPD or diopter adjustment, and that awkward cable situation for certain use cases. But for $299, you’re getting an OLED personal theater with solid audio and broad device compatibility. That value proposition is pretty hard to argue with.
Pricing and Availability
RayNeo sells the Air 3s Pro for $299, but a limited-time launch offer drops the price to $249 with $50 off auto-applied at checkout. Optional accessories like the JoyDock, Pocket TV, blackout visors, or prescription inserts will increase the total cost depending on your setup.
Anker appears to be preparing an updated version of its Nano 45W wall charger, and this time the focus is on smarter features rather than shrinking the size. Details of the accessory, reportedly called the Anker Nano 45W Wall Charger with Smart Display (model A2693), surfaced on August 28 through AnkerInsider.
The new charger is said to measure 43 x 36 x 35 mm, making it about 40% larger than the current Nano 45W (model A2692), which comes in at 33 x 32 x 36.9 mm. Even so, it keeps a compact form with folding pins and a single USB-C port that can deliver up to 45W. Anker is expected to release the charger globally before the end of the year.
The headline feature here is the addition of a small smart display, paired with Bluetooth connectivity and support for the Anker app. According to the leak, users will be able to view charging status in real time, schedule charging sessions, and enable a battery protection mode.
That mode is reportedly compatible with the iPhone 15/16 series and USB-C iPads released after 2020. It may pause charging when the battery temperature is too high or too low, similar to Anker’s Laptop Power Bank (model A1695). Competing chargers such as Belkin’s BoostCharge 67W already include comparable safeguards, though Anker’s focus here seems to be tighter app integration.
One limitation is the single-port design. Users who want to charge multiple devices may find options like Belkin’s 67W 3-Port USB-C charger more suitable.
The Nano 45W with Smart Display was first hinted at in July and, if the leaks prove accurate, will represent a shift in Anker’s charger lineup toward smart functionality rather than just compact design.
Oppo has quietly launched a new mid-range phone in China, the Oppo A6 Max. The phone is built around a slim 7.7mm body yet packs a massive 7,000mAh battery.
It supports 80W charging, which Oppo says can bring the phone to 50 percent in just 24 minutes. Despite the large battery, it weighs only 198 grams.
Oppo A6 Max Specifications
Up front, the A6 Max features a 6.8-inch OLED display with a 2800 × 1280 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The screen can reach up to 1,600 nits of peak brightness and even supports input when your hands are wet. Oppo also protects the display with its in-house Crystal Shield Glass for extra durability.
The device camera setup includes a 32MP selfie shooter and a dual-camera system on the back, headlined by a 50MP main sensor alongside a basic 2MP monochrome camera. The phone comes in two finishes: Streamer White with a glass back and Rock Mist Blue with a fiberglass back.
Under the hood, the A6 Max runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip, paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. To keep performance steady, Oppo has added a 5,200mm² vapor chamber for cooling.
The phone also features Oppo’s Shanhai Communication enhanced chip for more reliable connectivity, plus dual-band GPS, triple-band Beidou, NFC, and offline communication support.
What really makes the phone stand out is its durability. The A6 Max is rated IP66, IP68, and IP69 for dust and water resistance, meaning it can withstand high-pressure water jets and extreme outdoor conditions.
Oppo says the phone also passed SGS certification for high-temperature operation, and it comes with extra-loud speakers (up to a 300 percent boost) designed for outdoor use.
Price and Availability
The Oppo A6 Max (8GB + 256GB) is available now in China for 1,599 yuan (around $220). Oppo hasn’t confirmed whether the phone will launch internationally.

Realme is shifting its strategy as it marks seven years in the smartphone market. At its 7th Anniversary “828 Real Fan Festival” on August 28, the company said it has no plans to enter the foldable phone space for now, choosing instead to expand its ecosystem of accessories and push ahead with new flagship models.
Speaking with Securities Times (via IT Home), Realme CEO Xu Qi confirmed that foldables are not part of the company’s roadmap, citing high costs and limited mainstream appeal. Instead, Realme is investing in accessories such as power banks and headphones.
One highlight from the event was a 20,000mAh power bank, due in September, with 45W fast charging and three color options. The brand also showed off a concept phone with a massive 15,000mAh battery, signaling a stronger push into power-focused solutions.
Realme also teased its next flagship lineup, the Realme 15 series, which will debut in September alongside the new power bank. Instead of experimenting with foldable hinges, Realme is focusing on improving the traditional smartphone form factor.
By skipping foldables, Realme is doubling down on mid-range phones and practical accessories. The 20,000mAh power bank is aimed at users who want reliable power on the go. The strategy puts Realme in closer competition with Xiaomi, which also emphasizes power banks and ecosystem products.
With September launches coming up, Realme is counting on practical design and ecosystem products to win over value-focused buyers while keeping its flagships competitive.
The Realme 15 and 15 Pro were introduced in India last month, now available through retailers like Flipkart and Amazon, starting at ₹25,999 and ₹31,999, respectively. Realme is also preparing to launch the 15T in the country next week.
Slim phones are finding their way back into the smartphone timeline. Samsung kicked things off with the Galaxy S25 Edge last year, Apple is preparing to launch the iPhone 17 Air next week, and now Tecno is stepping in with a contender of its own.
The company has confirmed it will launch the Pova Slim 5G on September 4th. Tecno is calling it the world’s slimmest smartphone with a curved display.
The exact dimensions aren’t official yet, but earlier this year at MWC, the company showed off a concept device called the Spark Slim that measures just 5.75mm thick. The Pova Slim looks strikingly similar to that prototype, so it could be that Tecno is turning its concept into a mass-market product under a different name.
Even so, it might not take the crown for long. The iPhone 17 Air is rumored to be even thinner, reportedly coming in at just 5.5mm.
What do we know about Tecno Pova Slim?
Not the thickness, but Tecno has shared a few other details about the Pova Slim. It will support AI tools like Circle to Search and the company’s own Ella AI assistant, which can handle Indian languages.
Tecno Spark Slim concept phone
Incredibly, Tecno also claims that the phone can make calls without a cellular network. Though the catch is that it relies on Bluetooth to connect directly with another device, which only works if it’s within range.
For everything else, you still get proper 5G connectivity with carrier aggregation. Tecno is also adding some flair to the hardware with a “dynamic mood light” design, which is LEDs around the rear cameras that can glow when you want them to.
And despite its thin frame, the Pova Slim 5G is expected to pack a sizable 5,000mAh battery, according to earlier reports.

OnePlus has begun rolling out new OxygenOS updates for the OnePlus 11R and the OnePlus 10T 5G. The updates are being released in batches, with the 11R getting version 15.0.0.850 in India and the 10T 5G getting version 15.0.0.1201 in North America.
OnePlus 11R – OxygenOS 15.0.0.850
Build: CPH2487_15.0.0.850(EX01) Region: India
The update improves animations when opening, resizing, and repositioning floating windows. Private Safe now allows users to share images and videos, customize album covers, sort and view files by time, and add files under the “Other files” category.
Recent task management has been upgraded. Users can now lock or unlock apps by swiping down on them in the recent tasks view. Split View is no longer limited to fixed ratios and can be freely adjusted. When two apps are displayed in landscape mode, the divider can be dragged to set their relative sizes.
Notifications in landscape mode have been refined. All notifications now appear as simplified banners. Swiping down on a banner opens the app in a floating window, while tapping a button in the banner also opens the app in a floating window instead of full screen. The banner position has also been adjusted to reduce distractions.
The update also adds BeaconLink, which lets users send text, image, and voice messages to nearby devices without internet access. This can be enabled from “Settings – Mobile network – BeaconLink.” The August 2025 Android security patch has been integrated as well.
OnePlus 10T 5G – OxygenOS 15.0.0.1201
Build: CPH2417_15.0.0.1201(EX01) Region: North America
The OnePlus 10T 5G update brings the same improvements as the 11R, including smoother floating window animations, upgrades to Private Safe, better Split View controls, simplified banner notifications, BeaconLink support, and the August 2025 security patch.
For more daily updates, please visit our News Section.
OnePlus has started rolling out OxygenOS 15.0.0.850 for the OnePlus 11 in India and North America. The update is being released in batches. The build version for India is CPH2447_15.0.0.850(EX01) and for North America, it is CPH2451_15.0.0.850(EX01).
The update brings smoother animations when opening, repositioning, and resizing floating windows. Private Safe has received multiple upgrades. Users can now share stored images and videos, set custom album covers, sort and view files by time, and add content directly under the “Other files” category.
Multitasking has been improved. On the recent tasks screen, swiping down on a stacked app changes its lock status. Split View can now be adjusted freely instead of fixed ratios. When two apps are open in landscape mode, the divider can be dragged to resize their display.
Notifications in landscape mode are now simplified. They appear as smaller banner notifications positioned to reduce distractions. Swiping down on a banner opens the app in a floating window. Tapping a button on the banner also opens the app in a floating window instead of full screen.
The update also adds BeaconLink, a feature that allows text, image, and voice messages to be sent to nearby devices without internet. It is available under Settings > Mobile network > BeaconLink.
On the system side, the update integrates the August 2025 Android security patch to improve device protection.

Qualcomm only just kicked off its new naming strategy with the Snapdragon 8 Elite late last year, but it won’t be sticking with that name for long. Instead of a straightforward follow-up like the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, a recent report suggests the next flagship chip will be called the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.
Now, a new leak from tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed more details about the chipset. According to the leak, the chip will feature two prime cores clocked at 4.61GHz, alongside six performance cores running at 3.63GHz. On the graphics side, it will pack an Adreno 840 GPU running at 1.2GHz.
This much had already been rumored, including through the chip’s Geekbench run. But the new detail is that Samsung is preparing a higher-binned 4.74GHz version of the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for its upcoming flagships, the Galaxy S26s.
First phones with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5
The first wave of phones to use this chip is expected from Xiaomi,Honor, iQOO, OnePlus, and Realme, all of which will initially run at the native 4.61GHz frequency. These brands are expected to adopt the faster variant of the chip later next year.
Moreover, the tipster claims the silicon scores over 4 million points on the AnTuTu benchmark. The scores are likely from AnTuTu v11, as the Dimensity 9500 also posts similar results on the same version.
Qualcomm is set to launch the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 during the Snapdragon Summit starting on September 23. MediaTek will unveil its alternative just a day earlier, on September 22.
In other news, Apple is launching the iPhone 17 series on September 9, where it will also debut the new A19 Pro chip. These are just a few of the major launches coming in September—it’s going to be a packed month.

Huawei has moved past Apple in global smartwatch shipments for the first time, according to new numbers from Counterpoint Research. The shift highlights both the strength of the Chinese market and the pressure facing Apple in wearables.
Counterpoint’s Q2 2025 report shows global smartwatch shipments rose 8% year-on-year, breaking a five-quarter decline. Huawei shipments jumped 52% in the quarter, driven largely by strong demand in China. The company has built momentum with a broad range of watches priced between $100 and $400, along with tighter integration across its smartphone and IoT ecosystem. Over 75% of its shipments came from China, though expansion into EMEA and Asia-Pacific also contributed.
“Domestic traction, portfolio diversity, and ecosystem strength have been the key drivers for Huawei,” analyst Anshika Jain said in the report.
Apple shipments fell 3% in Q2, marking the seventh straight quarter of decline. Despite that, Apple continues to lead the premium end of the market with impressively accurate health tracking a loyal iOS user base.
Other players also saw movement. Xiaomi shipments rose 38% thanks to budget-friendly models, while Kids’s Smartwatch maker imoo grew 21% and kept its lead in the the segment. Just like Apple. Samsung also slipped 3% as its Galaxy Watch 7 failed to match growth seen elsewhere.
Counterpoint expects overall smartwatch shipments to climb around 3% in 2025, with China’s appetite for multifunction devices — combining health, payments, and navigation — a major driver.
The figures show how quickly competition is shifting. Huawei and other Chinese brands are gaining ground by offering wider choice and ecosystem tie-ins, while Apple faces a more crowded market than ever.
Samsung’s upcoming Exynos 2600 chip has reappeared on Geekbench, and this time the results look far more promising than before.
The chip appeared in the benchmark back in July with not-so-impressive scores. It only managed a single-core score of 2,155 and a multi-core score of 7,788.
But a fresh round of testing shows that Samsung’s tuning has paid off. The new results push the chip to a single-core score of 3,309 and a multi-core score of 11,256. The scores put it ahead of the Snapdragon 8 Elite, but the 8 Elite 2 still performs slightly better in its early benchmark.
The improvements are mainly because of the increased CPU speed. The main Cortex-X930 core now runs at 3.8GHz (up from 3.55GHz), while the three Cortex-A730 performance cores jump to 3.26GHz (previously 2.96GHz). The other six Cortex-A730s for efficiency see a bump as well, hitting 2.76GHz compared to 2.46GHz before.
Exynos 2600 is the first 2nm chip
The chip is confirmed to be manufactured on Samsung Foundry’s 2nm GAA process, which will improve power efficiency, thermal management, and AI performance.
Moreover, to prevent overheating, the chip is speculated to feature the new Heat Path Block (HPB) technology. The process comprises a micro copper-based heatsink integrated directly above the processor and memory within the chip’s package-on-package structure to keep the temperature in check.
The Exynos 2600 is expected to launch with the Galaxy S26 Pro and S26 Edge in early 2026, while the S26 Ultra may continue with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite 2.
Apart from smartphones, Samsung has signed a $16.5 billion deal with Tesla for 2nm chips, suggesting broader adoption of its advanced nodes.

Oppo’s next flagship phones, the Find X9 and Find X9 Pro, have had their storage and color options revealed in a new leak from well-known tipster Digital Chat Station.
According to the insider, the regular Oppo Find X9 will come in five configurations: 12GB RAM with 256GB or 512GB of storage, and 16GB RAM with 256GB, 512GB, or even 1TB of storage.
It will be available in Frost White, Mist Black, Light Chasing Red, and Velvet Titanium shades. The phone is expected to weigh around 203 grams, which should keep it relatively comfortable in hand for a big-screen flagship.
The Oppo Find X9 Pro, however, is where things get more ambitious. It’s tipped to arrive in 12GB+256GB, 12GB+512GB, 16GB+512GB, and 16GB+1TB versions. There will also be a special “Beidou Satellite SMS Edition” for the highest-end 16GB+1TB model.
The Pro is slightly more limited in terms of color options. It could come in Frost White, Chasing Light Red, and Velvet Titanium, with the device weighing about 224 grams.
Oppo Find X9, X9 Pro Specs (Expected)
As for specs, the Pro model could debut with a huge 7,000mAh+ battery that supports full wireless charging. It is said to feature a 200-megapixel periscope camera, telephoto macro lens, multispectral lens, IP68/IP69 dust and water resistance, an upgraded 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, and customizable side buttons. Oppo may also include its new LIPO four-sided flat display paired with a unique small matrix camera design.

The Find X9 is rumored to come with a 6.59-inch flat OLED LTPO screen with a 1.5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. Both phones are expected to use the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset, while the Find X9 may feature a 7,025mAh battery with support for 80W wired and 50W wireless charging.
Other specs reportedly include a 50MP quad-camera setup on the rear, an IP68/IP69 rating, and dual stereo speakers.
Samsung’s next flagship lineup could be the thinnest Galaxy phones yet, if new leaks are anything to go by. The Galaxy S26 series — expected to arrive in early 2026 — is said to be pushing slimmer designs across all models without cutting down on battery life or durability.
According to a report, the Galaxy S26 Pro, S26 Edge, and S26 Ultra are all getting noticeable reductions in thickness compared to this year’s S25 models. The S26 Pro, which replaces the base model, reportedly comes in at just 6.7mm thick (down from 7.2mm). The S26 Edge could slim down even further to 5.5mm, compared to the S25 Edge’s 5.8mm. Despite that, it’s said to pack a larger 4,200mAh battery — a bump from 3,900mAh.
The S26 Ultra, meanwhile, is tipped to measure 7.8mm, compared to 8.2mm on the S25 Ultra. That reduction is more modest, as the Ultra still houses the S Pen, which limits how thin the design can get unless Samsung rethinks the stylus entirely.
These figures are based on internal prototypes, so the final numbers could shift slightly before launch. Still, Samsung seems to be positioning the lineup against rivals like Apple’s rumored iPhone 17 Air, which may come in at just 5.5mm.
Alongside slimmer builds, Samsung is keeping headline specs like a 200MP camera and upgraded charging on the Ultra. The Galaxy S26 family is slated for a January 2026 launch, with prices expected to mirror this year’s lineup — $799 for the Pro, $1,099 for the Edge, and $1,299 for the Ultra. Still, a bump wouldn’t be out of the question, given Samsung’s history, the new ‘Pro’ branding, and the rumored redesign.
Lenovo could be pushing the boundaries of laptop design soon, with leaks revealing a bold new concept called Project Pivo. If you remember the LG Wing smartphone that featured a rotating screen, Project Pivo takes things a step further with a laptop with a rotating display.
Lenovo’s Rotating Screen Concept Laptop Leaked Ahead of IFA 2025
The leak was shared by Evan Blass, who shared some details and a render on X (formerly Twitter). A new concept laptop from Lenovo is in the works, with the tipster claiming that the laptop could debut during next week’s IFA/Innovation Week. The rotating display is the highlight, offering users to switch between portrait and landscape orientations.
Lenovo Project Pivo Concept Laptop with Rotating Display
This is reportedly being called Project Pivo, with the render image showcasing the laptop with its display flipped 90 degrees for portrait use. Lenovo likely connects the base of the laptop to the screen via magnets, with power and data likely going through contacts on the back of the display. Allowing for different orientations helps in making vertical media content easier to consume (think social media), with another benefit coming from reading documents.
The Chinese tech giant’s Project Pivo joins the likes of other unique Lenovo branded laptops like the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable, which has an OLED screen that extends out for a taller display, and the foldable OLED display on the ThinkPad X1 Fold. So stick around for more as we will be covering this upcoming event.

The upcoming OnePlus 15’s color and storage details have surfaced online, revealing more details before its official launch. According to recent leaks, the flagship will be available in three new colors and five storage configurations. So let’s check it out.
OnePlus 15 Leaked Ahead of Launch
The Chinese brand’s new flagship just surfaced on GeekBench, a popular benchmarking platform. Now, we get more details regarding the OnePlus 15 via known tipster Digital Chat Station (Via NotebookCheck). The OmePlus 15 will reportedly arrive in multiple storage options, which include 12GB + 256GB, 12GB + 512GB, 16GB + 256GB, 16GB + 512GB, and 16GB + 1TB variants. But what’s more interesting was the color reveal. We might be getting three color options with a Black, a new purple, and a possibly shiny titanium version. Notably, the black color could be the “Moon Rock Black”, which has an extremely high light absorption rate.
OnePlus 13s
DCS further revealed the weight of the OnePlus 15, which is reportedly around 215 grams. This isn’t too surprising considering how the OnePlus 13 was also quite hefty. The next gen flagship likely retains the tall display but with a larger battery pack. Based on our recent reports, the OnePlus 15 sports a tall 6.78-inch display with a 165Hz refresh rate, but downgraded to 1.5K resolution. We can expect it to pack the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 and a massive 7,000mAh battery pack with 100W wired fast charging support.
For photography, the device may feature a 50-megapixel main camera with OIS support, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 50-megapixel 3x periscope telephoto camera. Although, the rear camera module might be changed from a circular module to a square one.
