Xiaomi launches Mouse 2 Comfort Edition with ergonomic design, silent buttons & 1200 DPI

Xiaomi just dropped their new Wireless Bluetooth Dual-Mode Mouse 2 Comfort Edition on Xiaomi Youpin. If you’re interested, crowdfunding kicks off August 27th at 10 AM for 79 yuan ($11), that’s down from the normal 89 yuan ($12.40) retail price.

Xiaomi Mouse 2 Comfort Edition Specs

This mouse is clearly built with comfort in mind for those long work sessions. At just 63 grams without batteries, it won’t weigh down your hand. The asymmetric design actually cradles your thumb and spreads the weight across your palm instead of creating pressure points.

They’ve given it a nice matte finish, and you can grab it in either black or white, perfect whether you’re going for a sleek office look or a clean minimalist setup.

What’s handy is the dual connectivity; you get both 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth, with a simple switch to jump between two different devices. The 1200 DPI sensor should give you solid precision without being overly sensitive.

Xiaomi threw in some thoughtful touches too. They used TTC silent switches, so you’re not annoying coworkers with constant clicking, but you still get that satisfying tactile feel.

The scroll wheel is wider than usual with a silicone coating and finger-friendly curve that makes scrolling feel effortless. Plus, there are two side buttons right where your thumb naturally rests for quick back/forward navigation.

The practical stuff is covered too; the USB receiver tucks away in the battery compartment so you won’t lose it, there’s a status light for pairing and battery warnings, and PTFE feet on the bottom help it glide smoothly on whatever surface you’re using.

In related news, Xiaomi has recently introduced the Mijia Thermostatic Electric Kettle 3 Pro with a 2.0L capacity and 316L steel liner, alongside a new mini washer-dryer designed for delicate clothing.

New JBL Quantum 950, 650, & 250 Gaming Headsets Bring Big Drivers, Spatial Audio for Better Immersion

JBL is expanding its gaming audio lineup with the latest Quantum series of gaming headsets. The company just unveiled the Quantum 950, Quantum 650, and Quantum 250, which join the existing Quantum models like the Quantum 350, 200, and others. These feature large carbon drivers, spatial audio, and a bunch of other useful features. So let’s check it out.

What’s Special About these JBL Gaming Headsets?

The known audio brand has just announced the three Quantum gaming headphones with 50mm carbon dynamic drivers with support for spatial audio. These carry a Zoom certification as well. Notably, the high end Quantum 950 also supports 3D head tracking as well. This expensive model can be used wirelessly thanks to a 2.4GHz low-latency dongle and Bluetooth 5.3. It arrives with a wireless base station along with RGB lighting. The Quantum 950 brings adaptive noise cancellation along with a 6mm boom mic.

On a single full charge, it can last for up to 25 hours per cell. Users also get two batteries, which can easily be replaced for longer battery life. Similarly, the Quantum 650 is another pair of wireless headsets with the same 2.4Ghz and Bluetooth 5.3 dongle. You skip the 3D head tracking on these, but you still get the spatial audio, 6mm boom mic, and up to 45 hours of battery life. Apart from the battery being replaceable, one can even swap out the mic, cushions, cable, earcup, and more.

The third and last gaming headset is the JBL Quantum 250. Once again, the spatial audio and 50mm carbon drivers make a return. However, you miss out on the noise cancelling and RGB lighting. This is a wired headphones that connect via the 3.5mm audio jack. JBL has Zoom certified all three models, including this one.

Pricing and Availability

JBL launched the Quantum 950 in just two color options, namely black and white. Meanwhile, the Quantum 650 and Quantum 250 gaming headsets can be purchased in black, white, purple, and teal. Talking about the pricing, the Quantum 950 just debuted with a hefty 349.99 Euros price tag. This makes it more expensive than some premium headphones. On the other hand, the Quantum 650 costs 149.99 Euros, and the Quantum 250 can set you back 59.99 Euros.

Vivo Vision MR headset unveiled with 8K dual displays and world’s lightest 398g design

Vivo just unveiled its first mixed reality headset, the Vision Explorer Edition, at their recent launch event. This marks the company’s debut in the MR space, and they’re taking an interesting approach by starting with hands-on demo experiences before putting it on sale.

Vivo Vision Explorer Edition Specifications

What really stands out is how light this thing is – just 398 grams. To put that in perspective, Apple‘s Vision Pro weighs over 600 grams, so Vivo has managed to shave off quite a bit of weight. They pulled this off using a split design with magnesium alloy components, which keeps it both sturdy and lightweight.

The headset itself is pretty compact too, measuring 83mm tall and 40mm thick. Vivo has thought about comfort with adjustable face masks, different foam padding options, and a dual-ring strap that releases quickly for easy adjustments.

Under the hood, you’re getting dual 8K Micro-OLED displays with 3840 × 3552 resolution per eye. The color reproduction looks solid with 94% DCI-P3 coverage and impressive color accuracy. Each headset is calibrated at the factory to make sure both eyes see consistent brightness and colors. If you wear glasses, magnetic optical lenses can handle prescriptions from 100 to 1000 degrees without compromising the visual experience.

The headset runs on Qualcomm‘s latest Snapdragon XR2+ chip, which Vivo says delivers 2.5 times better performance than the previous generation. They’ve built their own OriginOS Vision interface on top, enabling things like immersive movie watching, spatial sports replays, and multi-window productivity setups.

The passthrough feature is particularly impressive with just 13ms latency for full-color video, making the transition between real and virtual worlds feel seamless. For interaction, it tracks your eyes with 1.5-degree precision and recognizes hand gestures across 26 degrees of freedom within a 175-degree vertical range, basically letting you control things naturally with your eyes and hands.

Content-wise, Vivo has some exclusive experiences ready like “Drum Master” and “Little V’s Journey.” They’ve partnered with companies like Migu for sports content and made it compatible with PCs and smartphones for wireless streaming. There’s even a spatial photo feature that works with Vivo and iQOO phones.

Pricing and Availability

Here’s the catch though – you can’t buy one yet. Starting August 22nd, Vivo is setting up demo stations in 12 authorized stores across major Chinese cities like Beijing and Shenzhen, with more locations coming later. They want people to try it first.

As for pricing, nothing’s official, but Vivo executives hinted it could be around 10,000 yuan (about $1,395) or less. Their COO mentioned that smartphones really took off in China when prices got within 20-30% of basic phones, so they’re clearly trying to hit that sweet spot for MR adoption.

It’s an interesting strategy, focus on making it lighter and more affordable rather than cramming in every possible feature. We’ll have to see if it pays off when people start getting their hands on it.

Redmi Note 15 Pro+ full specs out just hours before launch

Xiaomi is launching the Redmi Note 15 Pro series today in China. Just hours before the event, tipster Digital Chat Station revealed the complete specs of the phones.

According to the leak, the Note 15 Pro+ will feature a 6.83-inch 1.5K quad-curved display with large rounded corners, which the tipster says is an “equal depth” design.

The screen reportedly uses the same luminous material found on Xiaomi’s flagship devices and is protected by Dragon Crystal glass, marketed as a tougher alternative to traditional Gorilla Glass. That makes the Pro+ visually closer to premium models than most mid-range handsets.

On the camera side, the Note 15 Pro+ is expected to ship with a 50-megapixel OV50E main sensor measuring 1/1.55 inches, complete with optical image stabilization. The setup also includes a 50-megapixel telephoto lens with 2.5x zoom.

Powered by a new Snapdragon processor

Under the hood, the phone is said to run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chip, paired with a massive 7,000mAh battery and 90W fast charging. The handset managed to score 1,228 points in the single-core test and 3,230 points in the multi-core test in the Geekbench run.

As for durability, the device will carry IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K ratings. Despite that, the materials are more modest, with a plastic middle frame and a fiberglass back cover.

Audio isn’t left behind either. The Note 15 Pro+ reportedly features dual symmetrical 1115 speakers, a trait typically reserved for pricier models.

The leak also mentions the standard Redmi Note 15 Pro variant, which swaps the curved screen for a flat one but keeps the 7,000mAh battery and the same waterproofing standards.

The only detail left is the price, and we’re just hours away from finding out.

Both the front and back panels will reportedly have Gorilla Glass Victus protection, similar to its predecessor.

Under the hood, the Galaxy S25 FE upgrades to the Exynos 2400 (over the Exynos 2400e on the S24 FE). Keeping this model cool is a new thermal dissipation system that reportedly offers 13% better cooling. A sizeable 4,900mAh battery pack powers this model, which supports 45W wired fast charging. For photography, the rear has a 50MP (Main) + 8MP (Telephoto) + 12MP (Ultra Wide) camera setup, while the front houses a 12MP selfie shooter.

Samsung’s next Fan Edition will likely run on the Android 16 OS based One UI 8 custom skin out of the box. Other notable features include an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance, WiFi 6E support, and Galaxy AI tools. This is all the information we have at the moment, so stick around for more.

Vivo T4 Pro design

Vivo T4 Pro launch date

Starting with design, the Vivo T4 Pro features a quad-curved display on the front, and its back panel has a camera island similar to the Vivo V60 and X200 FE. A major difference, however, is the absence of the Zeiss logo, suggesting that this phone is more performance-focused than photography-centric.

Nevertheless, the phone comes with a periscope telephoto camera, the only one to offer this feature in its price segment.

Vivo T4 Pro key specifications

The Vivo T4 Pro has an FHD+ AMOLED panel on the front and has a slim profile of 7.53mm. For clearer zoomed shots, the device is equipped with a Sony IM882 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom.

Like the Vivo V60, the T4 Pro will feature the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 SoC, which is a noteworthy upgrade considering the T3 Pro debuted with the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 last year. It will be joined by a massive 6,500mAh battery. Rumors surrounding the device claim that it may support 90W fast charging.

Vivo T4 Pro price in India

The Vivo T4 Pro will be positioned lower than the Vivo T4 Ultra in the country. It will be priced between Rs 25,000 and Rs 30,000. When it comes to color options, it will be sold in two shades such as blue and gold. This phone is expected to rival the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4-powered Realme P4 Pro, which recently debuted in India.

Honor’s mysterious 10,000mAh phone to pack 6.79-inch screen, Dimensity 8500

Honor is working on a couple of new phones for the Chinese market. After the Honor Magic 8 and Magic 8 Pro, which are expected to launch in October this year, the brand may launch the Honor GT 2 series powered by the Snapdragon 8-series chip before the end of this year. It is also working on a mysterious phone that will pack a 10,000mAh battery. Tipster Digital Chat Station has been gradually revealing key details about this phone. Today, he rolled out the following Weibo post to confirm the display size and launch timeframe of the device.

Honor 10,000mAh display size, launch timeframe (rumored)

According to the tipster, the mysterious Honor phone with a 10,000mAh battery onboard will be powered by the upcoming Dimensity 8500 SoC. He revealed that its current engineering prototype is equipped with a 6.79-inch LTPS OLED panel that supports a 1.5K resolution.

He added that despite carrying such a huge battery aimed at extreme endurance, the thickness of the device is still fairly reasonable. As far as the launch is concerned, it is expected to debut in the first half of 2026. At present, there is no clarity about the final moniker of this device.

Honor X70 launch date-
Honor X70

Currently, the Honor X70 is the largest battery phone from Honor. The Snapdragon 6 Gen 4-powered mid-range phone packs a huge 8,300mAh battery. It weighs 199 grams and measures only 8.0mm. Therefore, the mysterious 10,000mAh Honor phone could measure under 9mm in thickness and weigh 210-220 grams, which is reasonable considering its mammoth battery size.

Google announced the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold alongside the Pixel Watch 4 series at its Made by Google event in Brooklyn on August 20.

Google unveiled the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, alongside the Pixel Watch 4 series, at its Made by Google event in Brooklyn on August 20. The foldable device is aimed directly at Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 with upgrades in durability, display tech, and AI features.

The phone uses a new gearless hinge that Google says is twice as durable as before, and it’s the first foldable with an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance. The body is made of aerospace-grade aluminum and comes in Moonstone and Jade.

It has a 6.4-inch cover screen and an 8-inch Super Actua Flex OLED inner display, both hitting 3,000 nits of brightness. The glass has been reinforced with extra layers to improve durability.

Inside, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold runs on the Tensor G5 chip with support for AI features like Gemini Live, Magic Cue, and Daily Hub. It packs a 5,015mAh battery (up from Pixel 9 Pro Fold’s 4,650 mAh) rated for 30+ hours, supports 30W charging, and adds Qi2 wireless charging with Google’s new Pixelsnap accessories.

The triple rear camera system is led by a 48MP main sensor with Macro Focus, joined by a 10.8MP 5x telephoto with support for 20x “Super Res Zoom,” and a 10.5MP ultrawide. Google has also included two 10MP selfie cameras, one in the inner display’s punch-hole and another on the cover screen. On paper, this setup feels like one of the less ambitious parts of the device compared to its other upgrades.

Price and availability

The Pixel 10 Pro Fold runs on Android 16 with seven years of software support. Pre-orders are live now, with sales starting October 9. The 256GB model is priced at ₹1,72,999, while 512GB and 1TB options are expected but pricing for those hasn’t been confirmed yet.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 tipped as true flagship, could debut alongside Snapdragon 8 Elite 2

Qualcomm is expected to unveil the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 at its upcoming 2025 Snapdragon Summit. This chipset is said to have the SM8850 model number. Rumors suggest that the brand may also unveil the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, bearing the model number SM8845, alongside the 8 Elite 2. Today, tipster Digital Chat Station shared a Weibo post revealing what to expect from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 5: What to expect?

According to the tipster, the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 is neither an iteration of the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 (SM8735) nor a rebranded version of any existing Snapdragon 8s series chipset. Since its inception, its positioning has been that of a true Snapdragon 8-series flagship chip.

He explained that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 uses the same TSMC N3P process as the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2v and features Qualcomm’s custom Oryon CPU architecture, with support for the SME (Scalable Matrix Extension) instruction set for on-device AI acceleration. This means its specifications and architecture are highly promising and worth anticipating.

He also mentioned that many leading smartphone manufacturers are already betting on this chip, showing its importance in the upcoming flagship landscape. Finally, he added that there is no SM8835 in this generation of the Snapdragon 8 series. The lineup only includes the SM8850, SM8850s (which may debut later as the Leading Version), and the SM8845.

Recent reports have revealed that the Redmi K90 could be the first phone to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5. The tipster has previously claimed that this chip will have a 2+6 architecture and will borrow some features from the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2. However, it is said to be slightly weaker than the Snapdragon 8 Elite from last year. Apart from the Redmi K90, the Honor GT 2 and the Realme Neo 8 are also speculated to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5.

AI chatbots have become subscription services much like music and video streaming platforms. Each company now has different pricing tiers designed to attract casual users, professionals, and enterprises. Here is a detailed look at the major players and what they offer.

AI Chatbots

1. ChatGPT (by OpenAI)

OpenAI continues to lead the market with ChatGPT. The free plan gives users access to GPT-5 with usage limits, enough for simple queries and casual use.

The ChatGPT Plus plan costs $20 per month globally or ₹1,999 in India. It unlocks unlimited use of GPT-5 and GPT-4o, advanced tools such as web browsing, data analysis, and image generation, as well as custom GPT creation. Plus subscribers also receive early access to new features.

Here are the best GaN chargers for Apple devices

If you use a MacBook Pro and an iPhone, you already know Apple’s chargers don’t always keep up with real life. The official adapters are either too big, too expensive, or limited to a single port. 

Enter GaN (gallium nitride) chargers. They’re smaller, cooler, and more powerful than traditional silicon chargers, and many of them come with multiple ports so you can power your MacBook, iPhone, and AirPods at the same time.

We looked through a long list of options and narrowed it down to five chargers that balance portability, power, and versatility. These work well for Apple’s top-end MacBooks and iPhones.

1. Anker 140W 4-Port PD 3.1 Charger

  • Dimensions: 6.9 × 6.9 × 3.6 cm
  • Weight: 275 g
  • Connections: 3× USB-C (2× 140W PD 3.1, 1× 40W), 1× USB-A (33W)
  • Color: Silver or Gray
  • Price: $99.99

If you own a 16-inch MacBook Pro, this charger is probably the best replacement for Apple’s bulky adapter. It supports PD 3.1, meaning it can fast-charge the biggest MacBook using Apple’s MagSafe 3 cable. Unlike Apple’s official brick, it has four ports, so you can keep your iPhone and AirPods powered while topping up your laptop.

The design is also a little more practical: all the ports are on the bottom, so cables don’t stick out awkwardly from the wall. It even has a small display to show charging status and temperature, which is rare for wall chargers. At 275 grams, it’s heavier than a simple single-port adapter, but it’s compact for the amount of power it offers.

2. Ugreen Nexode Pro 160W 4-Port GaN Fast Charger

Ugreen-Nexode-Pro-160W-4-Port-GaN-Fast-Charger
  • Dimensions: 7.1 × 4.3 × 3.3 cm
  • Weight: 304 g
  • Connections: 1× USB-C (140W PD 3.1), 1× USB-C (100W PD 3.0), 1× USB-C (30W), 1× USB-A (22.5W)
  • Color: Gray
  • Price: $94.99

Ugreen’s Nexode Pro 160W strikes a good balance between power and portability. It’s slightly heavier than Anker’s 140W model, but still much smaller than Apple’s original 140W charger. The top USB-C port can fast-charge the 16-inch MacBook Pro, while the second one can handle a 14-inch MacBook Pro at 100W.

If you’re charging multiple devices, you can split power across two laptops (65W each) and still have room to charge a phone or iPad. For people who juggle multiple Apple devices at once, this versatility makes it one of the best picks.

Please Note: When you buy something using the links in our articles, we may earn a small commission at no cost to you.

3. Anker Prime Charger 100W (3 Ports)

  • Dimensions: 4.4 × 2.9 × 6.8 cm
  • Weight: 170 g
  • Connections: 2× USB-C (100W PD 3.0), 1× USB-A (22.5W)
  • Color: Gray
  • Price: $84.99

If you don’t need the full 140W, the Anker Prime 100W is a sweet spot. It’s smaller and lighter than most high-wattage chargers, making it easier to carry around. At 100W, it can easily charge a 14-inch MacBook Pro or keep a 16-inch model going at standard speed, though not full fast charge.

With three ports, it’s enough for a laptop, iPhone, and AirPods. The design has been tweaked recently to prevent it from slipping out of sockets, which was an issue in earlier Anker models. For commuters and frequent travelers, this one balances power and portability really well.

4. Belkin BoostCharge Pro 140W 4-Port GaN Wall Charger

  • Dimensions: 3.1 × 7.6 × 9.6 cm
  • Weight: ~ (comparable to 140W wall chargers)
  • Connections: 1× USB-C (140W PD 3.1), 2× USB-C (65W), 1× USB-A (12W)
  • Color: White
  • Price: $129.99

Belkin’s BoostCharge Pro is a strong rival to Anker’s high-wattage chargers. It has a single 140W USB-C port that can fast-charge the MacBook Pro 16-inch, plus two more USB-C ports for mid-powered devices, and a USB-A port for legacy cables.

The big advantage here is flexibility: you can run two MacBook Airs at once, or a MacBook Pro, iPhone, and Apple Watch together. Belkin’s chargers also tend to feel sturdier than budget alternatives, though this comes at a slightly higher price. If you’re an Apple household with multiple devices in rotation, this charger cuts down the number of bricks you need.

5. Ugreen Nexode 200W 6-Port Desktop Charger

  • Dimensions: 10.1 × 10.1 × 3.23 cm
  • Weight: 517 g
  • Connections: 2× USB-C (100W), 2× USB-C (65W), 2× USB-A (22.5W)
  • Color: Gray
  • Price: $119.99

Not all chargers are meant for wall sockets. Ugreen’s Nexode 200W is more like a mini charging station for your desk. With six ports, you can charge up to four MacBooks and two smaller devices at once. Each USB-C port goes up to 100W, so you won’t run into power limits unless you’re trying to fast-charge multiple large laptops at the same time.

It comes with a 1-meter cable that plugs into the wall, so the brick can sit on your desk for easier access. At over 500 grams, it’s not something you’ll toss in a backpack for daily travel, but if you want a single charger for your home office setup, it’s one of the best.

Why GaN chargers matter for Apple users

Apple’s own chargers are good, but they’re often one-port solutions. If you’re using a MacBook Pro, an iPhone, and maybe an iPad, you’ll quickly find yourself running out of outlets or carrying around multiple adapters. GaN chargers solve this problem by offering multiple high-power ports in a smaller footprint.

They’re also more efficient, generating less heat compared to older silicon chargers. That means you can get 100W or even 200W in a block that’s smaller than Apple’s single-port charger. For people who travel or work in shared spaces, these compact, high-power GaN chargers can make life a lot simpler.

Google Pixel Buds 2a launched with ANC, 7h battery & recycled design

Google just dropped the Pixel Buds 2a, and they’re looking pretty solid for the price. At $129 in the US (₹12,999 in India), they’re sitting right between Samsung’s pricier Galaxy Buds 3 FE at $150 and Google’s own premium Pixel Buds Pro 2 at $229. You can grab them starting October 9th.

Pixel Buds 2a

Google Pixel Buds 2a Specifications

What’s interesting is that Google managed to squeeze the design DNA from their flagship Pro 2 model into something smaller and lighter. Each bud weighs just 4.7 grams, which is nice if you’re wearing them for hours. They’ve got these stabilizing wings with a twist-to-fit mechanism, and Google says they based the fit on data from over 45 million ear scans; that’s a lot of ears. You can get them in Iris (a purple shade) or Hazel (grey), and they’re IP54 rated, so sweat and splashes won’t kill them.

The big news here is that active noise cancellation finally made it to Google’s budget A-Series. They’re calling it Silent Seal 1.5, plus there’s a transparency mode when you need to hear what’s going on around you. The 11mm drivers have been redesigned and are powered by Google’s Tensor A1 chip, and you get a five-band EQ to tweak the sound how you like it. There’s also spatial audio for that surround sound feel.

For calls, each bud packs two mics with wind-blocking mesh and AI noise reduction. They run Bluetooth 5.4 with Super Wideband, can connect to multiple devices, and if you’ve got a Pixel phone, the pairing process is supposedly seamless. Lost an earbud? The Find Hub feature should help track it down. Everything’s controlled through touch gestures, including quick access to Google Gemini.

Pixel Buds 2a

Battery life is solid, with 7 hours of use with ANC on, and it can be extended to a total of 20 hours with the case. A 5-minute quick charge gets you another hour, which is clutch when you’re rushing out the door. The case is lighter than before and has a replaceable battery, which is actually pretty cool.

Google’s also playing up the eco-friendly angle here. The buds use 41% recycled materials, with the magnets, solder, and batteries being 100% recycled. Even the packaging ditched plastic entirely.

In related news, Google has also launched the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro flagships with AI-driven features and premium pricing, alongside the Pixel Watch 4 with a domed display, satellite SOS, Snapdragon W5 Gen 2, and over 50 workout modes.

Pixel 10 Pro & Pixel 10 Pro XL Are Here: Google’s AI-Loaded Flagships with Premium Price Tags

Google has officially launched its latest flagships, the Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL. Powered by the new Tensor G5 chip and bundled with advanced AI features, these premium phones also impress with their vibrant LTPO displays, sleek satin metal frames, and reinforced durability. So here’s everything you need to know.

Google Pixel 10 Pro Series: New Hardware

The new Pixel 10 Pro series with a series of upgrades over its predecessors. First and foremost, we have the new Google Tensor G5 SoC, which comes with a Titan M2 security chip. This new processor promises around 34 percent faster CPU performance, while also upgrading on-device AI performance by 60 percent. Keeping the more powerful chip cool is an improved vapor chamber cooling system.

Google Pixel 10 Pro & Pixel 10 Pro XL
Google Pixel 10 Pro & Pixel 10 Pro XL

Google built the Pixel 10 Pro as a compact flagship, which sports a 6.3-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution, up to 120Hz refresh rate, 3300 nits of peak brightness, and Corning’s Gorilla Glass Victus 2 for protection. However, this smaller form factor comes at the cost of battery size and charging since the base Pixel 10 Pro houses a 4,870mAh cell with 29W wired fast charigng and 15W wireless Qi2 compatible charging.

Meanwhile, the Pixel 10 Pro XL sports a taller 6.8-inch LTPO AMOLED panel with a higher QHD+ resolution, up to 120Hz refresh rate, 3300 nits of peak brightness, and Gorilla Glass Victus 2. You also get a larger 5,200mAh battery pack with 39W wired fast charging and 25W Qi2 wireless charging support. Google is calling its own version of “MagSafe” Pixelsnap as an all-new magnetic charging tech.

New Software

Google has never always been more inclined towards the software experience, and the new AI features show that. Among the new features we have Magic Cue, which brings personalised intelligence thanks to the new Tensor G5 on the Pixel 10 series. There is also the Camera Coach that helps improve your photography game and Auto Best Take that can automatically find and combine similar phones to get the best result. Out of the box, the Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL run on Android 16 OS as well.

Camera

Both models feature an identical camera system on the front and back. The rear has a 50MP main Samsung GNV sensor (replacing Sony’s camera on the Pixel 9 Pros), which has a large 1.3-inch size and an f/1.7 aperture. This is paired with the same 48MP ultra wide angle and 48MP 5x telephoto shooter from last year. Similarly, the front also brings back the 32MP selfie camera that supports autofocus as well.

Pricing and Availability

Google unveiled the Pixel 10 Pro series in multiple color options, namely Obsidian, Porcelain (10 Pro only), Moonstone, and Jade. These were announced in multiple storage configurations, so here are their pricing details:

Google Pixel 10 Pro

  • 16GB + 128GB – 999 US Dollars
  • 16GB + 256GB – 1,099 US Dollars/109,999 INR
  • 16GB + 512GB – 1,219 US Dollars

5 Reasons the Galaxy Z Flip 7 Makes the Perfect First Foldable

Foldable smartphones have come a long way from being just futuristic concepts to becoming mainstream devices. Among them, Samsung‘s Galaxy Z Flip 7 stands out as one of the most approachable and stylish foldables you can buy right now. This flip phone offers a great package in a refined design from the foldable phone veteran. So here’s why reasons why the Galaxy Z Flip 7 should be your first foldable phone.

1. Compact/Pocket-Friendly Design & Approachable Pricing

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7

Unlike the notebook style folding phones, the biggest advantage of clamshell folding flip phones is their form factor. Samsung has managed to remove the bulk issue with the Galaxy Z Flip 7, which can easily slip into your pocket. But unfolding the flip offers you a full size primary display.

Foldable phones are known for their exorbitant prices. These are ultra premium flagship devices. However, a typical flip phone is more affordable, with the Galaxy Z Flip 7 being more approachable than the Galaxy Z Fold series (like the Z Fold 7). In other words, it is a smart entry point for those looking for their first foldable phone.

Please Note: When you buy something using the links in our articles, we may earn a small commission at no cost to you.

2. A More Durable Foldable Than Ever

Durability has been a major concern in early foldables, but Samsung has spent years perfecting the hinge and screen tech. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 uses Ultra-Thin Glass (UTG), while the rear has Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection. That’s not all, you also get an IP48 rating for water and dust resistance. In a recent JerryRigEverything durability test, the Z Flip 7 impressed with its structural integrity. Samsung also claims that the Z Flip 7 can withstand up to 500,000 folds.

3. Flagship-Level Performance

While it is more affordable than the Galaxy Z Fold 7, you are not getting a budget phone with a hefty price just for its design. Samsung avoided the price hike this year by using its self developed Exynos 2500, which is its flagship grade chipset. The Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy (also found on the Z Fold 7) is the fastest Android chip in the market, but the Exynos 2500 is no slouch either. You can still enjoy games and a super smooth UI experience.

4. The Camcorder Experience

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7

For this price, you can undoubtedly find another smartphone with a much better and versatile camera system. Even the more expensive Z Fold 7 has the flagship S25 Ultra’s large 200MP main camera. But the Galaxy Z Flip 7 definitely has its own quirk. You get a 50MP main camera with a 12MP ultra wide angle lens. Thanks to its unique form factor, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 can double as a camcorder. You can even use the better rear cameras as its selfie camera using its secondary cover display as the “viewfinder”. The unique ways to use a foldable phone is basically what adds to the fun.

5. A Stylish Statement Piece

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7

Flip phones have been seen as a fashion statement, with many recent launches promoting these new models as products that blend fashion and tech. With bold color options and a sleek glass finish, this is a phone that will definitely turn heads.

Google Pixel 10

Pixel 10 features

The Google Pixel 10 has a 6.3-inch FHD+ OLED Actua display with a 120Hz refresh rate and peak brightness of 3,000 nits, protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2.

Huawei Pura 80 Ultra vs Galaxy S25 Ultra: Which Flagship Should You Buy in 2025?

Huawei Pura 80 Ultra and Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra represent two very different visions of what a flagship smartphone should be. Huawei focuses on extreme hardware, massive batteries, and camera versatility, while Samsung emphasizes polished software, ecosystem features, and raw performance power. This comparison is important because both target premium users but deliver upgrades in contrasting areas, making the choice dependent on whether photography innovation or long-term ecosystem value matters more.

1. Design and display

Huawei Pura 80 ultra
Huawei Pura 80 Ultra

Build and Feel:
The Pura 80 Ultra uses a glass and aluminum build with impressive IP68/IP69 certification, giving it stronger protection against water jets than most flagships. The S25 Ultra takes a premium approach with a titanium frame and Gorilla Armor 2 glass, which is more durable against scratches and drops. Samsung also integrates the S Pen, a unique productivity tool absent in Huawei’s design.

Verdict: The Galaxy S25 Ultra feels more luxurious and practical due to its titanium durability and stylus support.

Display Quality:
Huawei’s 6.8-inch LTPO OLED reaches up to 3000 nits brightness, one of the brightest on any phone, with HDR Vivid and high PWM dimming for eye comfort. Samsung counters with a slightly larger 6.9-inch LTPO AMOLED 2X panel, peaking at 2600 nits with HDR10+, but its Gorilla Armor 2 coating drastically reduces reflections. While Huawei has higher raw brightness, Samsung’s anti-reflective display ensures superior visibility in sunlight.

Verdict: The Galaxy S25 Ultra edges ahead with better outdoor readability.

Verdict:
Overall, Huawei wins on durability against elements, while Samsung dominates in luxury materials, display clarity, and extra features like the S Pen. For most users, the Galaxy S25 Ultra offers a more refined daily experience.

Please Note: When you buy something using the links in our articles, we may earn a small commission at no cost to you.

2. Specifications 

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra

Performance:
The Pura 80 Ultra runs on Huawei’s Kirin 9020 (7 nm), which lags behind modern 3 nm designs in raw benchmarks and gaming efficiency. In contrast, the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s Snapdragon 8 Elite delivers industry-leading performance with Oryon CPU cores and Adreno 830 GPU, making it far more powerful for multitasking, gaming, and future-proofing.

Verdict: The Galaxy S25 Ultra is the clear winner for performance.

Battery and Charging:
Huawei pushes boundaries with up to 5700 mAh capacity (China variant) and blistering 100W wired plus 80W wireless charging, nearly doubling Samsung’s charging speeds. The S25 Ultra has a 5000 mAh battery, with 45W wired and 15W wireless, but compensates with better long-term battery health and Qi2 compatibility. For heavy users, Huawei charges faster and lasts longer.

Verdict: Huawei dominates in battery life and charging convenience.

Verdict:
Performance goes to Samsung, but Huawei secures a strong lead in endurance and charging technology. The better choice depends on whether raw power or charging freedom matters more.

3. Camera

Huawei Pura 80 Ultra
Huawei Pura 80 Ultra

Main and Secondary Lenses:
Huawei equips a versatile quad setup with a massive 1.0-inch main sensor, dual periscope lenses (3.7x and 9.4x), and a 40MP ultrawide. This design prioritizes flexibility, though both telephoto sensors share one base sensor without continuous zoom. Samsung offers a 200MP main camera, reliable 3x and 5x telephoto zooms, and a 50MP ultrawide. While Samsung emphasizes detail and consistency, Huawei offers more optical zoom range, giving creators more framing freedom.

Verdict: Huawei wins for zoom versatility, Samsung for balanced performance.

Selfie Camera:
Huawei’s 13MP ultrawide selfie shooter supports 4K video with HDR Vivid and wide framing, making it better for group shots. Samsung’s 12MP sensor focuses on color accuracy, HDR10+, and dual-pixel autofocus for sharpness. Although Samsung delivers slightly sharper selfies, Huawei’s ultrawide flexibility is more practical.

Verdict: Huawei edges ahead for its wider and more creative selfie perspective.

Verdict:
Overall, Huawei’s camera system is more versatile, especially for telephoto shooting and creative selfies, while Samsung provides higher consistency and detail capture. Photography enthusiasts may prefer Huawei, while casual users might lean towards Samsung’s reliability.

4. Pricing

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra

The Huawei Pura 80 Ultra is priced around $1500, making it one of the most expensive mainstream flagships. In comparison, the Galaxy S25 Ultra starts at $1300, offering a lower entry price with more storage options at baseline. Considering Samsung also includes longer software support and wider global availability, it provides stronger overall value.

Verdict: Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is the better deal for most buyers.

Disclaimer:
Prices are approximate and may vary based on country, region, and applicable taxes.

5. Conclusion

Galaxy S25 Ultra
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra

Huawei Pura 80 Ultra stands out with its dual periscope zooms, ultra-fast 100W wired and 80W wireless charging, and unique IP69 protection. It pushes hardware boundaries, especially for power users who prioritize cameras and charging speed.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, however, distinguishes itself with its integrated S Pen, long-term Android support, advanced Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, Gorilla Armor 2 protection, and features like Samsung DeX and UWB.

Final Verdict:
Huawei is ideal for those who value cutting-edge camera versatility, extreme charging power, and durability in harsh environments. Samsung is better suited for users seeking refined design, ecosystem features, long-term updates, and a balance of performance and reliability.

Ultimately, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is the more practical upgrade for most, while the Pura 80 Ultra appeals to enthusiasts who want maximum innovation in hardware.
