Xiaomi has officially launched the Mijia High-Speed Hair Dryer (model GSHF04LF) in China. The new model is priced at 219 yuan ($30) and is now available in four pastel colors: pink, cream white, blue, and green.
Xiaomi Mijia High-Speed Hair Dryer Specs
The Mijia hair dryer features a compact and lightweight body, weighing just 347 grams without the power cord. Its dimensions are 87×73×250.6mm, making it suitable for one-handed use and convenient storage. Xiaomi designed this model for quick, effective drying and comfortable daily use.
The hair dryer is equipped with a high-speed brushless motor that runs at 110,000 revolutions per minute. This motor generates an airflow of up to 62 meters per second, allowing it to dry short hair in about one minute, shoulder-length hair in around three minutes, and longer hair in approximately five minutes. These figures are based on internal lab testing.
Xiaomi has integrated negative ion technology into the dryer, with a claimed output of 200 million ions. These ions help reduce static, smoothen hair cuticles, and improve hair texture. The dryer also includes intelligent temperature control powered by an NTC thermistor and an MCU microprocessor. This system performs 100 air temperature checks per second and adjusts the airflow in real time to prevent overheating and reduce heat damage.
The device supports eight drying combinations through two wind speed levels and four temperature settings: cool, warm, hot, and a hot-cold cycle mode. It also features a memory function that retains the last used setting.
To lower operational noise, Xiaomi has implemented a multi-layer acoustic optimization system. The hair dryer produces a sound power level of 73.9dB(A), making it relatively quiet during use.
It also features a double-layer micro-perforated filter at the rear that prevents hair from being pulled into the motor. The Mijia dryer operates at 220V~ 50Hz and has a rated power of 1600W.
There are many 5G phones available for around Rs 10,000 in India. The Lava Storm Play, which also falls in the said price segment, manages to successfully set itself apart from its competitors. Apart from being India’s first phone with Dimensity 7060, the Storm Play packs standout hardware specs, like LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage, which are not available in phones priced around Rs 20,000 to Rs 25,000. I’ve spent a few days using the device as my secondary phone, and here’s a breakdown of how it performed in real-world use.
5Final Thoughts
Lava Storm Play
The Lava Storm Play aims to reinvent the budget 5G smartphone and does well enough to stand out. The clean Android 15 software, fluid 120Hz display, and respectable day-to-day performance make it a compelling choice for those who want a dependable phone without unnecessary frills.
Of course, the HD+ resolution feels like a compromise in 2025, and the low-light camera performance could use some work. But at this price point, especially if Lava keeps the updates coming and builds on this foundation, the Storm Play proves that Indian smartphone brands still have a strong game in the entry-level segment.
If you value clean software, a high refresh rate screen, and dependable performance over flashy features, the Storm Play might just be your next budget 5G phone.
The Lava Storm Play is selling for Rs 9,999 on Amazon. Apart from Dune Titanium, it comes in a Frosty Blue shade.

TCL CSOT is expected to announce its long-anticipated investment in Gen 8 inkjet-printed OLED (IJP OLED) production within the next two months. Zhou Mingzhong, Head of Technology Planning at TCL CSOT, confirmed the timeline during an interview following the Seoul Display Business Forum. He stated that the formal announcement would take place between August and September.
TCL CSOT IJP OLED Displays
The company has already achieved key technical milestones with its inkjet OLED technology. Zhou revealed that TCL CSOT panels have surpassed 350 pixels per inch (PPI) in resolution. He added that the blue OLED device’s LT95@100nits lifespan is expected to reach 400 hours by 2026, a tenfold improvement compared to 2020 levels. The blue sub-pixel will also match the size of the red and green sub-pixels, addressing a common imbalance in traditional FMM OLED designs.
TCL CSOT uses a full RGB sub-pixel arrangement with equally sized pixels. The company reports a significantly higher aperture ratio for its inkjet OLEDs, three times greater than that of conventional FMM OLEDs. This advancement improves brightness, energy efficiency, and display durability.
The company showcased a range of potential applications during recent exhibitions. These include a 6.5-inch smartphone panel with 325PPI, a 14-inch 2.8K laptop screen with 243PPI, a 27-inch 4K monitor with 163PPI, and a 65-inch 8K TV panel with 136PPI. These prototypes demonstrate TCL’s ability to scale inkjet OLED across multiple form factors.
TCL CSOT currently operates a Gen 5.5 inkjet OLED line at its T5 facility in Wuhan. In late 2024, the company produced a 21.6-inch medical-grade OLED panel using inkjet printing. However, the Gen 8 project, referred to as the T8 Project, marks a significant step forward in commercial-scale production.
Industry sources told The Elec that the announcement was initially expected in July but has been slightly delayed, possibly due to ongoing coordination with local government authorities. Once finalized, the Gen 8 investment could help TCL CSOT differentiate itself from South Korean rivals that continue to focus on FMM and open metal mask (OMM) OLED technologies.

Lenovo is bringing a new tablet model to the Indian market that targets a broader audience. For under Rs 20,000, the Idea Tab brings a tall display with a high resolution, which even comes with stylus support. With a large battery and decent specs, Lenovo aims to bring great value to students, casual users, and others on a budget. To recall, the brand announced the Idea Tab along with the Idea Tab K11 Gen 2 globally back in May.
Lenovo Idea Tab Launched with a Gorgeous Display
The Chinese tech giant’s latest tablet is a budget offering that focuses on offering a great visual experience. Its Idea Tab sports a tall 11-inch LCD panel with a high 2.5K resolution (2560 x 1600 pixels) with a 90Hz refresh rate, 500 nits of peak brightness, and TÜV eye care. Under the hood, it is equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 SoC, which his paired with 8GB LPDDR4X RAM with 256GB of internal storage. Users can expand the memory by up to 2TB via a microSD card slot.
Lenovo Idea Tab
For optics, the rear has an 8MP camera, while the front houses a 5MP shooter for selfies and video calls. A sizeable 7040mAh battery pack powers the Lenovo Idea Tab, which supports 20W wired fast charging. This tablet runs on the Android 15 OS based ZUI 17 custom skin out of the box, with 2 years of major OS upgrades and 4 years of security patches. Other notable features include Bluetooth 5.2, AI powered tools, quad speakers with Dolby Atmos, and a 3.5mm audio jack.

A new leak suggests Redmi is working on a phone with an 8500mAh battery capacity. That’s nearly 1000mAh more than the battery on the recently launched Redmi Turbo 4 Pro, which itself packs a sizable 7550mAh cell.
Even more interesting, Redmi is reportedly managing to keep the phone’s body thickness under 8.5mm. For context, many phones with much smaller batteries measure the same, or even thicker. The Galaxy S25 Ultra, for example, is 8.2mm thick and houses a smaller 5,000mAh battery.
The tipster further adds that Redmi’s lab is still fine-tuning its in-house battery tech to maximize capacity without shortening battery lifespan. This jump in battery size is unsurprisingly due to the use of silicon-carbon battery technology, which has seen wider adoption in China this year.
The magic of silicon-carbon batteries
Unlike traditional graphite batteries, which max out at around 372mAh/g, silicon-based materials can theoretically reach up to 4200mAh/g. Silicon also has better lithium storage capabilities, which contributes to higher energy density and better safety during charging. The use of silicon materials helps avoid lithium buildup, which in some cases can lead to short circuits.
Redmi Turbo 4 Pro Pink Gold
Thanks to the shift in materials, phones with 7000mAh or higher battery capacities are now common in the Chinese Android ecosystem. And it might not stop at 8500mAh. In another recent report, the same tipster claimed that 10000mAh phones may arrive as early as next year.
For now, there’s no word on when Redmi’s 8500mAh phone will launch, or what it will be called. We will keep you in the loop as soon as we hear more.

Samsung provides the best software support among Android brands, but even the best support doesn’t last forever. Every month or so, the company quietly clears out a few older models from its update roster — and this time, a total of four mid-range Galaxy phones have been dropped from future support.
This means no security patches or bug fixing, marking the end of the road for these Samsung phones. If your Galaxy device is a few years old, review the list below to find out if yours will continue to receive software updates or if it’s time for a hardware upgrade.
No more software updates for these Samsung phones
Galaxy A22
Galaxy F22
Galaxy M32
Galaxy M42 5G
All four Samsung phones were launched in 2021, promising up to two Android updates and four years of security patches. They received Android 13 as their final major upgrade two years back, and now it’s the end of security patches as well.
Choose your next upgrade wisely
If you’re using Galaxy A22, F22, M32, or M42 5G, don’t expect any updates going forward. The phones will, however, continue to function normally; however, they won’t receive patches for any newly discovered vulnerabilities. If your device stores sensitive data, you may want to consider upgrading to a newer model with longer software support. Fortunately, that’s no longer exclusive to flagship devices.
The latest Galaxy S-series models promise a full seven years of Android updates and security patches. That’s the best software support you can get on an Android phone. The mid-range Galaxy phones have also seen a dramatic expansion in software support in recent years, with the latest models promising as many as six major Android updates and six years of security patches. A few years ago, they were only getting two major upgrades and four years of security patches. The newer budget phones also come with a much-improved software update policy.

The Galaxy A16 was one of Samsung‘s best selling smartphones. It was popular thanks to its budget pricing, and now, we have a successor that refreshes this model with the brand’s in-house Exynos chipset. So here’s everything you need to know about the Galaxy A17 5G.
Samsung Galaxy A17: What does it offer?
The South Korean tech giant’s latest affordable offering sports a tall 6.7-inch Infinity-U Super AMOLED display that offers an FHD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. Infinity-U here is for the water drop notch on the front. Under the hood, the Galaxy A17 replaces the 6nm Dimensity 6300 on its predecessor with the 5nm based Exynos 1330 SoC. This chip is paired with up to 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Users can even expand the memory by up to 2TB via a microSD card slot in the Hybrid Dual SIM tray (nano + nano/microSD).

For photography, the rear has a 50MP main camera (f/1.8) paired with a 5MP ultra wide angle lens (f/2.2), and a 2MP macro sensor (f/2.2). Meanwhile, the front houses a 13MP shooter for selfies and video calls. A sizeable 5,000mAh battery pack powers the Galaxy A17, which supports 25W wired fast charging. Other notable features include side mounted fingerprint scanner, slim 7.5mm body, Bluetooth 5.3, and Android 15 OS based One UI 7 custom skin out of the box.
Samsung just announced the Galaxy A17 in three color options, namely Gray, Blue, and Black. It has a starting price tag of 239 Euros for the 4GB + 128GB configuration. On the other hand, the 6GB RAM and 8GB RAM variants are no available in Europe right now, but we can expect them to debut in other markets. Pre-orders are currently live in the region, while a wider release should be right around the corner.

Google usually releases a new version of the Android OS around October, but this year, Android 16 arrived much earlier, in June. It’s already available to Google Pixels, and soon other brands, including Realme, will start pushing the update to their eligible devices.

What to expect from Realme UI 7.0 and Android 16?
Realme will integrate many new features and enhancements from Android 16 into the next software upgrades, in addition to the features and changes introduced to the Realme UI 7.0 skin. This will likely include Android 16’s progress-centric notification (also known as Live Updates) for tracking ongoing activities without having to open apps. Realme phones already have a similar feature called “Mini Capsule,” but that only works with limited functions. Integrating it with Android 16’s Live Updates would make it a lot more helpful for users.
One of the standout additions is Android Protection, an array of security features that’s designed to protect users from online attacks, harmful apps, unsafe websites, scam calls, and other online threats. This will also be a part of the upcoming major upgrade.
The Realme UI 7.0 update may also include new AI features, additional widgets, and enhanced customization options. Additionally, there may be UI changes, several new features, and more responsive software.
