Samsung’s Galaxy Tab A11 LTE moves closer to launch with Bluetooth SIG certification

Samsung looks set to refresh its budget tablet lineup with the upcoming Galaxy Tab A11 LTE. The device has now appeared on the Bluetooth SIG database, another indication that its official launch isn’t far away.

According to a report by The Tech Outlook on August 23, the Galaxy Tab A11 LTE (model number SM-X135G) has cleared Bluetooth SIG certification. This follows earlier appearances on Safety Korea, FCC, Wi-Fi Alliance, Nemko, and IMEI listings — all signs that the tablet is nearly ready to hit the market, possibly in September.

While the Bluetooth filing doesn’t add much in terms of specifications, earlier certifications have confirmed a 5,000mAh battery with 15W charging support. The tablet is also expected to include dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and hotspot connectivity. A Safety Korea listing also revealed a front image, showing slim bezels that fit Samsung’s simple, budget-friendly design. The tablet measures 210.9mm x 124.7mm with a 238mm diagonal, pointing to an 8.7-inch TFT LCD similar to the Galaxy Tab A9.

Galaxy Tab A11 (SM-X135G)

The A11 series is expected to include a standard model as well as a Tab A11 Plus, which may offer a larger screen or performance upgrades. It’s still unclear what chipset will power the Tab A11. For context, the Tab A9 and A9+ from 2023 used the MediaTek Helio G99 (4G) and Snapdragon 695 (5G), respectively. Given that the Tab A11 still lacks 5G, it could be powered by the same Helio G99 as its predecessor from 2023. Samsung could unveil the tablet at its IFA 2025 event on September 5.

Key features could include an IP54 rating, stereo speakers, and support for up to 1TB of expandable storage. With these additions, the Galaxy Tab A11 LTE looks positioned as a practical, affordable option for streaming, browsing, and light productivity.

Apple may bring back bumper cases for ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air

Apple could be planning the return of a classic accessory alongside its next flagship phone. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the company is considering a bumper case designed specifically for the iPhone 17 Air, which is expected to debut in September 2025.

iPhone 17 Air
Apple iPhone 17 Air

A callback to the iPhone 4 era

The bumper case was first introduced with the iPhone 4 in 2010 to help with “antennagate” reception issues. Unlike traditional cases, it covers only the edges of the phone, leaving the back exposed. If Apple revives the design for the iPhone 17 Air, it would serve as a lightweight option to guard against drops and scratches while maintaining the handset’s slim 6.2mm profile.

The Information’s Wayne Ma also reports that Apple is developing a battery case for the device. This wouldn’t be the first time Apple offered such an accessory — the company previously sold Samst Battery Cases for the iPhone 11 lineup and the MagSafe Battery Pack for newer models, both of which have since been discontinued.

The iPhone 17 Air is rumored to feature a 6.6-inch OLED display, Apple’s A19 chip, and a single 48MP rear camera. It’s expected to sit between the standard iPhone 17 ($799) and the Pro model ($1,199), with a price tag of around $999.

Materials like silicone or recycled plastics are likely for the Bumper Case, and while it may not be tied to antenna concerns this time, it could help improve grip and durability. Meanwhile, the rumored battery case cound extend the 17 Air’s “around 2,900 mAh” battery for longer use, possibly with MagSafe support.

With Apple’s September launch event only weeks away, it won’t be long before we know whether this nostalgic accessory makes an official comeback.

Beelink has launched the EQi13 Pro, a compact office-focused mini PC designed to deliver performance in a small and quiet package. The model follows the design language of the earlier EQi12 but upgrades the internals with Intel’s 13th Gen H-series processors and a sturdier build.

The EQi13 Pro comes in two processor options. Buyers can choose the Intel Core i5-13500H with 12 cores (4 performance and 8 efficiency) and a boost clock of up to 4.7GHz, or the Core i7-13620H with 10 cores (6 performance and 4 efficiency) and a boost clock of up to 4.9GHz.

Pixel 10 vs Galaxy S25 vs iPhone 16: Which 2025 Base Model Flagship Should You Buy?

With the launch of the Google Pixel 10 series, the 2025 flagship smartphone race got more competitive. The top-of-the-line phones like the Galaxy S25 Ultra usually steal the spotlight, so many often skip over the standard base model. So now, here’s a quick comparison between the vanilla flagships from Samsung, Apple, and Google. We have the Galaxy S25, iPhone 16, and Pixel 10, so let’s see which one is worth buying.

1. Design & Display

Google Pixel 10

All three models are compact premium phones, with the Pixel 10, Galaxy S25, and iPhone 16 featuring a 6.3-inch display, 6.2-inch, and 6.1-inch, respectively. While Samsung used to dominate in displays, other flagships have caught up and even surpassed the South Korean tech giant. The base Pixel 10 has the brightest 3000 nits screen, while the Galaxy S25 has LTPO support for variable refresh rate.

Apple disappointingly still offers a 60Hz panel on the iPhone 16. So Pixel 10 takes the win here. Design is subjective, but we can compare weight and size. Here, the Samsung Galaxy S25 takes the lead with the slightest 162 grams body and also measures the thinnest (7.2mm). In comparison, the Pixel 10 is the thickest and heaviest (8.6mm, 204 grams).

2. Performance

Apple-iPhone-16
Apple iPhone 16

Under the hood, things get interesting. The Pixel 10 runs on Google’s Tensor G5, built with TSMC’s 3nm process. This brings improvements in CPU performance, but the greatest jump is in the AI performance. However, it is still not the fastest chip in benchmarks. Google has been clear about its priorities as the chip is optimized for AI tasks like voice recognition, image processing, and live translation.

Meanwhile, the Galaxy S25 ships with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, which is the fastest Android processor in the market. So you can expect top tier performance, especially in terms of gaming. Meanwhile, the iPhone 16 is powered by Apple’s A18 Bionic. Historically, Apple’s chips lead in efficiency and sustained performance, and this year is no different.

3. Cameras

Samsung Galaxy S25

The Pixel 10 doubles down on computational photography with downgraded image sensors. Despite the smaller main and ultra wide angle camera, the company has finally added a new telephoto shooter in the base Pixel model, while also using its tuning to improve the image quality. You also get AI-powered editing tools like Magic Editor and Best Take. It remains one of the best for still photography and portrait shots.

Since Samsung already offers triple cameras, the iPhone 16 is the only flagship model here with a dual camera setup. The Galaxy S25 is still quite capable, but disappointingly, it didn’t receive any camera update. Apple still offers one of the best videography experiences on the iPhone 16, however, the Pixel 10 is a close contender. Out of these three, Google’s base model still offers one of the best photography kit.

4. Battery & Charging

Google Pixel 10

Google packs the Pixel 10 with the largest battery out of the three, bringing a 4970mAh cell that supports 29W wired fast charging and 15W Qi2 Pixelsnap magnetic wireless charging. This makes it the first true competitor to the iPhone 16’s MagSafe. While the battery details have never been revealed by Apple, it does support 25W wired fast charging. Lastly, the Galaxy S25 has a similar 25W wired fast charging, 15W wireless charging support, and a 4,000mAh battery. So the Pixel 10 takes the win once again.

5. Software & Ecosystem

samsung galaxy s25

The Pixel 10 offers the cleanest Android experience, with 7 years of Android and security updates and deep AI integration. This matches Samsung’s seven generations of OS upgrades and seven years of security updates. However, Apple continues to thrive on its unmatched Apple ecosystem, from AirPods to Macs, and seamless features like iMessage and AirDrop.

This Gaming Handheld with Snapdragon 8 Elite Costs Under $400

Ayaneo could be working on the world’s first gaming handheld that is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite. The brand just teased the new Konkr Pocket Fit Elite with some powerful specs and affordable pricing. So here’s what we know.

Ayaneo’s New Gaming Handheld Promises Power with Snapdragon 8 Elite at a Budget Price

In a fresh teaser, Ayaneo confirmed a bunch of the specs of the upcoming Konkr Pocket Fit Elite. The company is already working on a new Konkr Pocket Fit, with a recent official livestream confirming the Konkr Pocket Fit Elite model as well. What sets this model apart is that it could debut with the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, which is the same processor that powers Android flagships like the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Looking at the official teaser, the Konkr Pocket Fit Elite sports a compact 6-inch display with an FHD resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. A large 8,000mAh battery pack powers this device. This is new model is a “high performance Android handheld” that is also the world’s first dual mode trigger lock on Android handheld with hall effect joysticks and triggers for precision control. Lastly, Ayaneo confirme that this handheld will cost under 399 US Dollars.

While this seems like a sweet deal for an Android gaming handheld, the Snapdragon 8 Elite is known to run at high temps under load. Sustained performance is important for gaming machines, so this could be a limiting factor unless Ayaneo offers a robust cooling system. This is all the information we have at the moment, so stick around for more. In related news, Ayaneo just unveiled the Pocket DS, which is another Snapdragon G3x Gen 2 powered Android handheld.

Oppo F31 series first look: three models, three different designs

Oppo is preparing to expand its mid-range lineup with the F31 series, which is expected to arrive in India next month. The series will include three models — the Oppo F31, F31 Pro, and F31 Pro+ — each bringing a different look and set of hardware.

Leaked renders and specs shared by tipster Abhishek Yadav (@yabhishekhd) on August 24 give an early look at the devices. Despite sharing the same series name, the three models are styled quite differently.

  • F31 Pro+: Flat display, circular rear camera housing, Snapdragon 7 Gen 3, 12GB RAM, 256GB storage.
  • F31 Pro: Squircle-shaped camera module, powered by MediaTek Dimensity 7300 (likely the “Energy” variant).
  • F31: Uses MediaTek Dimensity 6300 and features a vertically stacked pill-shaped camera design.

All three models are said to pack 7,000mAh batteries — larger than the F29’s 6,500mAh and the F29 Pro’s 6,000mAh. Charging also sees an upgrade: the F31 and F31 Pro are expected to support 80W fast charging, while details for the Pro+ haven’t surfaced yet. Given Oppo’s past launches, it could go even higher.

Color options will vary across the lineup:

  • F31 Pro+ — white, pink, blue
  • F31 Pro — gold, black
  • F31 — red, purple, blue

According to reports, Oppo is targeting a release in India sometime in mid-September, just ahead of the festive season. With larger batteries, faster charging, and varied designs, the F31 series is set to compete against the likes of the upcoming Vivo Y500 and Redmi Note 15. Pricing details haven’t leaked yet, but Oppo is clearly positioning this as a strong mid-range refresh.

BOE and Lenovo introduced new ThinkVision P Series monitors with Oxide technology

BOE and Lenovo have joined forces to launch a new line of professional displays under the ThinkVision P Series. The monitors use BOE’s Oxide thin-film transistor (TFT) technology, which the company says delivers better performance and lower power consumption than conventional solutions.

Announced on August 22, the partnership brings BOE’s decade-old Oxide TFT technology into Lenovo’s ThinkVision lineup. Compared with amorphous silicon, Oxide transistors allow higher conductivity and lower leakage current, enabling smoother visuals while reducing energy use.

The ThinkVision P Series supports an adaptive refresh rate ranging from 24Hz to 120Hz, switching within milliseconds depending on the task. That means higher refresh rates for video and gaming, and lower rates for reading or word processing. According to BOE, power consumption can drop by more than 50% at 24Hz, meeting Energy Star 8.0 standards.

Targeted at professionals, the displays come factory-calibrated with 98% DCI-P3 color coverage and a 2000:1 contrast ratio. The end products reportedly include USB-C docking, HDMI 2.1, and a built-in KVM switch to make multitasking easier. Sustainability is also part of the design — the monitors use 20% recycled materials and were unveiled at an event in Nanjing under the theme “Smart Display Carbon-Initiated Clear Environment.”

With adaptive refresh rates, accurate colors, and reduced power draw, the ThinkVision P Series aims to offer creators and professionals a balance of performance and efficiency. The new monitors are now available in select markets.
