LG has added new “A” series models to its UltraGear OLED gaming monitor lineup, covering 45-inch, 39-inch, and 34-inch sizes. These models keep most of the specifications from earlier “QE” versions but make small changes to ports, audio, and extra features.

Realme GT 8 series confirmed to launch in October

Aug 10, 2025

The next wave of Android flagships is expected to roll out starting in September, and Xiaomi might be the first to launch.

The Xiaomi 16 series is rumored to debut with Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 as early as next month. While that remains unconfirmed, we now have official word on another major release.

This week, Realme Vice President Wang Wei confirmed that the GT 8 series will launch in October. Earlier, Wang teased that the new lineup would feature a completely redesigned look and “will definitely have surprises.”

Those surprises might come in the form of hardware that puts Realme right next to the biggest names in Android. Both the GT 8 and GT 8 Pro are expected to run on Qualcomm’s yet-to-be-released Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 (SM8850).

What to expect?

The GT 8 Pro is rumored to feature a flat 6.85-inch 2K OLED display from Samsung, complete with an AR anti-glare coating similar to what’s on the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Under the hood, there could be a massive 7,000mAh+ battery paired with 100W fast charging. Realme is also reportedly using a metal middle frame to keep things sturdy.

On the camera side, the standout upgrade might be a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto sensor, possibly Samsung’s HP9. That’s the same camera hardware rumored for Oppo’s upcoming Find X9 Pro.

For security and durability, it will reportedly feature a 3D ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor and a metal frame.

There’s no word on pricing yet. The Realme GT 7 Pro launched at a starting price of 3,599 Yuan ($500). So its successor could land in a similar range, if not a bit higher.

Noble Audio Kronos IEM Launches Worldwide with Premium Titanium Build, Flagship Sound & $4,500 Price Tag

By

-

Aug 10, 2025

Noble Audio has launched its new flagship in-ear monitor, the Kronos, now in full production after first appearing as a limited-edition 10th anniversary model. It is based on the Chronicle design but features an updated shell and cable for long-term use.

The Kronos is made from CNC-machined titanium with titanium damascus faceplates. It is lightweight, ergonomic, and hand-assembled in the USA, with each unit individually matched for consistent performance.

Sound and Components

The Kronos uses Noble’s most advanced hybrid driver setup with the same internal configuration as the Chronicle. It has a 6-way crossover with:

1 x 7mm dynamic driver for bass
1 x 10mm dynamic driver for sub-bass
1 x dual membrane bone conductor driver
2 x Knowles mid balanced armature drivers
2 x Knowles high frequency balanced armature drivers
2 x Sonion ultra high frequency electrostatic drivers

This setup delivers clear sound, strong low-end, and a wide three-dimensional soundstage. With an impedance of less than 35 ohms, it works well with most smartphones, digital audio players and portable headphone amps.

Cable and Accessories

The included custom hybrid cable is made from palladium-plated 4N pure silver and 6N OCC silver. It has a titanium yoke, 0.78mm 2-pin connectors and a 4.4mm AEC balanced termination, offering broad compatibility. The Kronos comes with a premium case and accessories.

The Noble Audio Kronos will be officially launched at the Hong Kong High End Audio & Visual Show 2025. Sales start on 8 August 2025 through nobleaudio.com and selected high-end retailers, priced at £4,100, $4,500 or €4,750.

Xiaomi Smart Camera 4C 3.5K Brings 6MP Recording, Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6, and AI Detection

By

-

Aug 10, 2025

Xiaomi has launched the Smart Camera 4C 3.5K in China with upgrades in image quality, connectivity, and security. It now has a 6 MP sensor that records at 3200 × 1800 pixels, using a 1/2.45-inch image sensor. AI processing keeps videos clear and bright, even in low light, and it can record full-color footage in very dim conditions.

The camera supports dual-band Wi-Fi 6 (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) with OFDMA technology, offering up to 60% faster transfer speeds compared to Wi-Fi 4. This provides a more stable connection and smoother live viewing on mobile devices. A 1T AI chip improves the speed and accuracy of human and pet detection, as well as movement tracking.

Security features include the MJA1 security chip with EAL 5+ certification, cloud transmission encryption, and a physical lens cover. The cover can be closed manually, on a set schedule, or during preset time periods. The camera can detect people and pets, track movement locally with AI, and use cloud positioning to reduce tracking errors.

For night use, it has eight 940 nm infrared lights that are invisible to the human eye, avoiding red-light glare while sleeping. It captures more detail in low light and keeps images in color for longer.

It offers a 360° horizontal and 116° vertical viewing range, supports microSD cards up to 256 GB, works with NAS storage, and can connect with other Xiaomi smart devices. One example is adjusting air conditioning temperature based on the number of people in the room.

Pricing & availability

The Xiaomi Smart Camera 4C 3.5K is priced at CNY 199 (~US28) in China and is available for pre-order. There is no confirmed date for its international release.

Oppo Find X9 Ultra tipped to pack a 7,000mAh dual-cell battery

Aug 10, 2025

Oppo’s next flagship could be a battery powerhouse. A new leak claims the Find X9 Ultra will ship with a much larger battery than its predecessor, while keeping the same fast charging speeds and adding a serious camera upgrade.

Tipster Digital Chat Station says the X9 Ultra will use a dual-cell setup rated at 6,850mAh (3,425mAh each) — likely marketed as 7,000mAh typical. That’s up from the Find X8 Ultra’s 6,100mAh typical capacity and would put it among the largest flagship batteries we’ve seen.

Despite the jump, Oppo is reportedly sticking with 100W wired and 50W wireless charging. The leak also suggests the phone won’t bulk up much, which would be an impressive bit of engineering.

The X9 Ultra is said to feature a 6.82-inch OLED display with 2K+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Power efficiency upgrade is still a question mark, but the camera specs are harder to ignore: a 200MP main sensor, 50MP ultrawide, and dual periscope zoom lenses (200MP and 50MP) with up to 10x optical zoom. Inside, it’s tipped to run Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, with ColorOS 16 based on Android 16. An IP68/IP69 rating is also rumored.

In comparison, the X8 Ultra packs a 50MP 1-inch type Sony LYT-900 main sensor, paired with dual 50MP periscope telephoto lenses (3x and 6x) and a 50MP ultrawide. You can check out our full camera test of the X8 Ultra here.

Oppo is likely to launch the Find X9 Ultra in the first quarter of 2026. If the leak is accurate, it could stand toe-to-toe with rivals like the Galaxy S26 Ultra, thanks to its battery capacity and camera setup.

Huawei Mate 80 series to feature miniaturized cooling fan while remaining waterproof

By

Debasish

-

Aug 10, 2025

Huawei launched its flagship Mate 70 series back in November last year, and as you can expect, the Mate 80 series is in the works. The Mate 70 series is powered by Huawei’s allegedly 7nm-based Kirin 9020 chip, and the upcoming Mate flagships are expected to use the next-generation Kirin — not the latest flagship Snapdragon or Dimensity chips based on the most efficient process nodes to date.

And this is where the latest leak comes in. According to Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station, Huawei is working on an active cooling system for the Mate 80 series which, paired with a large silicon-carbon battery, could deliver a significant boost in performance, especially during sustained heavy workloads.

To be more specific, the Chinese tech giant has engineered a miniaturized version of a cooling fan and air duct to keep the main processor and camera modules cool during operation. The cooling solution is reportedly positioned in the lower half of the circular camera module, while the air duct is placed along the side of the phone. For those concerned about water resistance, it’s designed to keep the device water resistant — likely by isolating the airflow path from the internals to prevent dust or water from entering.

However, it’s worth noting that this active cooling approach isn’t entirely new — not even the water-resistant version. Oppo has already implemented something similar in its IP68/IP69 certified K13 Turbo series. The Oppo phones will launch much sooner than Huawei’s upcoming flagships, and it will be interesting to see how Huawei’s implementation compares to a solution that will already be available on the market at a much lower price.

This New Xiaomi Filter Could Be the Secret to Rust-Free, Sediment-Free Tap Water

By

-

Aug 9, 2025

Xiaomi has launched the Mijia Pre-Filter Pro, a whole-house water filtration system that removes impurities before they reach the home’s plumbing. It is now available for pre-order in China on JD.com for 799 yuan ($111).

Xiaomi Mijia Pre-Filter Pro Specifications

The Mijia Pre-Filter Pro is positioned as the first line of defense for household water safety. It uses a 40-micron bionic fish gill filtration membrane to capture sediment, rust, hair, paper scraps, algae, and even insect eggs before they reach your taps.

Xiaomi claims a retention rate of up to 98.6%, ensuring cleaner water and protecting downstream appliances like washing machines, dishwashers, and water heaters from clogging or scale buildup.

The filter features a water-powered self-cleaning system that allows scheduled flush cycles every 7, 15, or 30 days. During cleaning, it performs a 360-degree swirling backwash in which the discs open, high-pressure water jets spray in reverse, and the discs spin rapidly to use centrifugal force for debris removal.

This is followed by a strong direct rinse to wash away particles. Xiaomi refers to the process as “one open, two turn, three scrub,” designed to restore full filtration performance automatically.

The system is built for whole-home coverage, offering an 8T/h flow rate. That’s enough to keep multiple water outlets running simultaneously, think kitchen sinks, showers, and laundry, without noticeable drops in pressure. In practical terms, Xiaomi says it can filter in one minute the equivalent of about 8.9 barrels of bottled water.

Durability is another selling point. The Pre-Filter Pro features a copper-wrapped aluminum water channel that resists corrosion and prevents the leaching of heavy metals. It is built to handle extreme temperatures from -50°C to 80°C and pressure surges up to 20 bar.

It also offers anti-freeze, anti-explosion, and waterproof protection, making it suitable for different environments. Additionally, the filter sports a built-in battery box that removes the need for an external “backpack” power source, ensuring a cleaner and more compact installation.

In related news, Xiaomi recently introduced an affordable hair dryer capable of drying hair in just one minute, along with a split air conditioner that purifies air, cools quickly, and eliminates viruses.

Aug 9, 2025

ASUS has expanded its 2025 laptop lineup with two new offerings that cater to audiences. The first is the AI enabled Vivobook S16, which is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X processor, while the second model is a budget friendly Chromebook CX15 that targets everyday users and students. So here’s the specs, pricing, and more.

ASUS Vivobook S16

Back in June, ASUS unveiled the Vivobook S14 and Vivobook S16 with Intel’s latest Core Ultra processors that offered powerful performance. Now, the Vivobook S16 model has been refreshed with the Snapdragon X CPU. This is an entry level chip from Qualcomm, making it more affordable and offering superior battery life. You also get 45 TOPS of NPU on this chip, which supports Copilot+ features as well as ASUS AI apps. The processor is paired with 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB of PCIe Gen 4 SSD.

On the front, you get a tall 16-inch OLED display with a FHD+ resolution (1920 x 1200 pixels), 16:10 aspect ratio, 300 nits of peak brightness, and 95% DCI-PC color gamut. A sizeable 70Wh battery pack powers this model, which supports 65W charging via USB-C. All of this is packed in a lightweight form factor, with the Vivobook S16 weighing just 1.74 kilograms. So it is quite portable despite its large screen real estate. Other notable features include FHD webcam with IR, backlit keyboard, Dolby Atmos certified dual speakers, WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, and Windows 11 Home out of the box.

ASUS Chromebook CX15

For those looking for a laptop on a budget, there is the new ASUS Chromebook CX15. This model debuted with a 15.6-inch LCD panel with an FHD resolution and 300 nits of peak brightness. Like its predecessor, it is still equipped with the Intel Celeron N4500 CPU with up to 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. The CX15 also offers up to 13 hours of battery life since it runs on ChromeOS.

ASUS also packs the laptop with the Titan C security chip. Connectivity options include WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, a 3.5mm headphone jack, an HDMI port, a USB-A port, and two USB-C ports. There is also a US MIL-STD 810H military-grade durability and a 42Wh battery pack with 45W USB-C charging support.

Samsung looks ready to refresh its most affordable tablet lineup. A new listing on Safety Korea’s certification site has revealed the Galaxy Tab A11, and this time, we’re getting an actual photo of the device.

The image confirms what we’ve come to expect from Samsung’s entry-level Galaxy Tab A series: a simple, no-fuss design built for basic everyday use.

Up front, the tablet sports slim bezels with a front-facing camera tucked neatly along the top edge, perfect for video calls in landscape mode. Flip it over, and you’ll see a single rear camera paired with an LED flash, sitting in the corner of an otherwise clean back panel. It’s minimalist, and that’s the point.

The model number for this device is SM-X135N, but beyond that, the certification doesn’t reveal much about what’s inside. Samsung hasn’t confirmed any specs yet, but earlier rumors suggest it could feature a 5,000mAh battery and a price under $150.

Galaxy Tab A11 could launch next month

The tablet is set to succeed the Galaxy Tab A9 from 2023, which comes with an 8.7-inch TFT LCD screen, a MediaTek Helio G99 chip, up to 8GB of RAM, and Android 13 out of the box (with an upgrade path to Android 15).

While it’s unclear how much will change under the hood, we can expect Samsung to stick with the same no-nonsense approach. It could feature stereo speakers, microSD expansion, and a USB-C port. For many, that’s more than enough for streaming, web browsing, and light work.

Adding fuel to the launch speculation, tipster Abishek Yadav claims that the Galaxy Tab A11, along with a beefier Tab A11+, could debut in India as soon as next month. If true, a global launch might follow shortly after.

Huawei Mate 80 RS tipped to feature dual-layer OLED, titanium frame

According to well-known leaker Digital Chat Station, Huawei’s upcoming Mate 80 RS might pack a 6.9-inch dual-layer OLED screen, the same display tech that debuted on last year’s Mate 70 RS.

Dual-layer OLED is exactly what it sounds like. It has two light-emitting OLED layers stacked on top of each other. This setup offers higher brightness, lower power consumption, and a longer screen life compared to traditional single-layer OLED panels.

The only drawback is that it’s expensive to produce. Even Apple is rumored to be looking into the technology for future iPhones, which says a lot about its potential.

Huawei Mate 80 RS with ceramic back

Beyond the screen, Huawei seems to be going all-in on premium materials. The leak mentions that the engineering prototype of Mate 80 RS has a titanium alloy middle frame. Last year’s Mate 70 RS introduced a high-gloss titanium basalt structure, and it seems Huawei wants to keep that tradition alive with even better durability.

On the back, Huawei is reportedly going for a ceramic texture finish. This doesn’t mean it’s actual ceramic, but rather a special type of glass that mimics the smooth, jade-like feel of ceramic while being lighter.

Given how the RS models usually share hardware DNA with the Pro variants, the Mate 80 RS could feature the same camera setup as the Mate 80 Pro and Mate 80 Pro+.

We’re talking about a 50MP shooter with a 1/1.28-inch sensor, roughly the same size as the one on Apple’s iPhone 16 Pro. That’s smaller than the massive 1-inch sensor found on Huawei’s Pura 80 Pro and Pura 80 Ultra, but it’s built on a 22nm process and features a 1.2μm pixel size.

The Huawei Mate 80 series is rumored to launch sometime in October 2025.

Google Pixel 10 Pro XL promo images reveal complete design before launch

Aug 9, 2025

With Google’s next big hardware showcase just weeks away, the Pixel 10 Pro XL is already in the news. A new leak has given us our clearest look yet at the company’s upcoming flagship, showing off its design in full.

The images, shared by WinFuture, reveal the Pixel 10 Pro XL in two finishes — Moonstone and Obsidian. At first glance, the phone doesn’t stray far from last year’s Pixel 9 Pro XL or the smaller Pixel 10 Pro, keeping the pill-shaped triple camera bar with its flash and temperature sensor. The frame is polished aluminum, and the back and front are protected by Gorilla Glass Victus 2. On the right-hand side sit the power and volume buttons, this time with a glossy touch to match the premium feel.

The front features a large 6.8-inch OLED display, expected to support a 120Hz refresh rate and hit up to 3,000 nits at peak brightness — a notable bump for outdoor visibility. While these pictures don’t confirm internal changes, they do show Google sticking to a sleek, polished design language.

The Pixel 10 Pro XL is set to run on Google’s new Tensor G5 processor, designed to deliver better performance and efficiency while boosting Gemini capabilities. Camera hardware is expected to remain almost the same as its predecessor — a 50MP (1/1.31″) main sensor, 48MP ultrawide, and 48MP telephoto (1/2.55″) — but with software tweaks for better low-light shots.

Battery capacity has been bumped slightly to 5,200mAh (up from 5060mAh), paired with 30W wired charging. With the leaks now out, the only surprises left might be in the software and AI features Google has kept under wraps.
