SanDisk has demonstrated a new high-capacity SSD that could redefine storage scalability for AI and cloud-based infrastructure. As revealed by the brand, this SSD is built on a fresh platform architecture designed to meet the growing performance and efficiency needs of hyperscale environments.

SanDisk’s 256TB NVMe SSD sets new capacity benchmark

256TB NVMe SanDisk SSD demoed with UltraQLC platform

SanDisk has demoed a 256TB NVMe SSD built on the company’s new UltraQLC platform. This storage solution combines BiCS8 QLC NAND, custom multi-core controllers, and advanced system-level tuning to deliver a new level of density and efficiency. The platform is developed to meet the evolving demands of AI-centric tasks such as data ingestion, processing, and the fast delivery of insights in large-scale data lake environments.

The SSD supports Direct Write QLC, which writes directly to QLC NAND without relying on SLC caching, improving performance and power loss safety. The BiCS8 QLC die used in this SSD doubles the density per chip while keeping the die size compact. SanDisk has also introduced UltraQLC power optimization through dynamic frequency scaling, which is projected to improve performance per watt by up to 10 percent.

Reliability enhancements include a Data Retention profile expected to reduce recycle rates by up to 33 percent, offering better drive lifespan and access stability. SanDisk has confirmed that the UltraQLC-based 256TB SSD and the SN670 128TB variant will launch in U.2 form factor in the first half of 2026. Additional form factors are expected to follow later in the year.

Aug 8, 2025

Not too long ago, a 5,000mAh battery was the gold standard for Android phones. It was enough to get you through a full day, or maybe even two, and anything bigger usually meant lugging around a chunky slab or sacrificing other hardware.

But 2025 has flipped that script. We’re now seeing phones from multiple manufacturers packing 7,000mAh batteries, and sometimes even more, thanks to improvements in battery tech.

From Realme’s latest flagships to Poco’s oversized endurance champ, brands are chasing battery numbers that would’ve sounded ridiculous for a mainstream device just a few years back. And the best part is that they’re pulling it off without turning these phones into literal bricks.

Here’s a look at the devices with 7,000mAh (or bigger) batteries you can actually buy on the global market right now.

You still get a sleek, IP65-rated design, a 6.77-inch AMOLED display with HDR10+, and 80W charging.

Infinix Hot 60i 5G key details confirmed

As can be seen in the official image shared by the brand, the Infinix Hot 60i will be available in four shades: Shadow Blue, Monsoon Green, Sleek Black, and Plum Red. Its back panel has a horizontal camera visor, which houses a 50-megapixel primary camera and a dual-LED flash.

Under the hood, the Infinix Hot 60i 5G is equipped with the Dimensity 6400 chip and a 6,000mAh battery. For durability, the device will offer an IP64 rating with TUV certification for 5 years of lag-free performance.

Apart from features like Circle to Search and AI Eraser, the Hot 60i 5G will also have AI-driven features like AI Extender, AI Call Translation, AI Wallpaper, and Image Generator. The brand is yet to confirm other details of the phone.

The Infinix Hot 60i is likely to be positioned lower than the Dimensity 7020-powered Hot 60 5G, which debuted last month in India. The Hot 60 was priced at Rs 10,499 at launch. Therefore, it is likely that the Hot 60i could be priced at around Rs 9,999 in the country. Like other Infinix phones, it will also be available via Flipkart in the country.

Samsung has announced the arrival of its 2025 soundbar lineup in India, revealing significant enhancements in adaptive audio and connected living. The new range is designed to complement evolving Indian entertainment preferences and bring more intelligent, room-aware sound into homes.

AI intelligence meets cinematic sound

The latest offerings include the flagship HW-Q990F and the versatile HW-QS700F models, both equipped with advanced AI-powered sound calibration. Samsung’s updated AI Sound Engine analyzes the type of content and its surrounding environment in real-time, automatically tuning output for clearer dialogue, punchier effects, and deeper immersion. A feature called Dynamic Bass Control ensures richer low-end audio without losing detail, while Active Voice Amplifier Pro enhances speech by adjusting clarity based on ambient noise levels.

Supporting Wireless Dolby Atmos and Q-Symphony Pro, these soundbars combine channels from both the TV and the soundbar for a layered surround effect. The result is a cinematic listening experience with no physical cable clutter. All models are compatible with Alexa, Google Assistant, AirPlay, and other smart ecosystems, offering voice control and easy wireless streaming.

A key upgrade is the Convertible Fit Design, supported by a built-in gyro sensor that adjusts sound based on placement. Whether wall-mounted or placed on a console, the soundbar adapts accordingly. The models also include a redesigned compact 6.5-inch wireless subwoofer, now 58% smaller, yet still capable of delivering powerful room-filling bass.

Prices start from Rs 14,990 and go up to Rs 92,990 for the top-end HW-Q990F. The entire range is now available through Samsung’s official website, leading electronics stores, and popular e-commerce platforms.

Top Chinese Smartphone Brands That Are Available in Europe

Aug 7, 2025

While brands like Samsung and Apple still lead the charts in the global market, Chinese brands are steadily expanding in regions outside of Asia. Europe has been an attractive market for many OEMs, and Chinese companies are growing their presence with their innovative features, competitive pricing, and striking designs. So here are the top Chinese brands that are available in the European market.

Xiaomi

Arguably the most successful Chinese brand in Europe, Xiaomi offers a wide range of phones across various price points, from the budget Redmi smartphones to the premium Xiaomi 15 lineup. It is third only to the likes of Apple and Samsung. Their value-for-money approach has earned them a strong foothold in countries like Spain, Italy, and Germany. Thanks to their AI powered features, the brand’s mid range and premium models are also quite popular.

Top Chinese Smartphone Brands in Europe — Honor 400 Smart 5G

After splitting from Huawei, Honor has made a comeback with sleek designs and competitive hardware. The Magic series, in particular, has received strong reviews for its performance and camera capabilities. The brand is making a push into Western European markets with more partnerships and aggressive pricing. Surprisingly, even its foldables are doing well in the region, securing top spot in Western Europe in Q2 2024.

Realme

Targeting younger audiences, Realme is known for stylish phones with high refresh rate displays, fast charging, and powerful internals. But what sets them apart is the affordable price tag for their smartphones. However, the brand has recently been trying to capture more of the premium smartphone segment, but faces stiff competition from both Samsung and Apple.

OnePlus

While not as popular as other Chinese smartphone makers like Xiaomi, OnePlus is a recognized brand in Europe. It is known for its premium devices, especially the OnePlus 13. Meanwhile, the Nord devices are mid range models for those on a budget. The company is still growing in the region, despite the setbacks it faced in Germany.

Oppo is in a somewhat similar position to OnePlus, where it is actively working on growing its market share in Europe. Oppo has actively expanded its presence in Europe, reaching the 5th spot in the EU smartphone market back in Q4 2024. Its market share still ranges in the single digits but the brand continues to invest in the region. The company has seen growth in Southern Europe (Spain, Italy, Romania, and Portugal), thanks to its Find X series for premium models and Reno phones for more affordable devices.

Realme P4 Pro 5G runs Geekbench with Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, 12GB of RAM

By

Aug 7, 2025

Realme’s upcoming P-series phone just popped up on Geekbench, and it brings some predictable surprises. The Realme P4 Pro, carrying the model number RMX5116, is now confirmed to run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset.

According to the Geekbench listing, the phone scored 1216 in the single-core test and 3533 in the multi-core test. But the benchmark listing didn’t just reveal performance. It also confirmed a few key specs.

Geekbench scores

The P4 Pro will ship with 12GB of RAM and run Android 15 out of the box. The GPU is listed as Adreno 722, which should be good enough for casual gaming and basic graphics tasks.

If some of this sounds familiar, you’re not wrong. Based on what we’re seeing so far, the Realme P4 Pro might just be a rebadged Realme 15 Pro with a few tweaks and trims to make it feel new. However, that is just a guess on our side.

A previous report also hints at three color variants of the phone. The P4 Pro 5G could arrive in Midnight Ivy, Dark Oak Wood, and Birch Wood shades, although the top-tier model may skip the Midnight Ivy shade. As for storage options, it will be available in 8GB and 12GB of memory, and 128GB or 256GB of storage.

There’s no official launch date yet, but word is that Realme has already begun internal testing for a release sometime this month. We will keep you in the loop as soon as we hear about it.

5 Best Gaming Laptop Accessories That Can Level Up Your Setup

By

Sean

-

Aug 7, 2025

Unlike a desktop gaming PC, a typical laptop is a complete package that offers nearly every peripheral that one would need. You don’t need to buy a keyboard, a monitor, or speakers. But if you’re a hardcore gamer, you know that a gaming laptop needs some peripherals to really bring out the best experience. So here are some essential accessories to take your laptop gaming experience to the next level.

Note: While not all of these gadgets are a ‘must-have’, there are a few that are crucial and some that definitely make the gameplay experience a lot better.

Prev Next

1. Cooling Pad or Stand

One of the biggest drawbacks of gaming laptops is heat. Due to the compact size of those powerful specs, extended gaming sessions can lead to thermal throttling. A cooling pad not only helps maintain better temperatures but also improves ergonomics by angling the keyboard slightly upward. One can even find models with adjustable fans and height settings for maximum versatility (see Claw Cooling Pads). This becomes especially useful when you’re pairing your gaming laptop with a dedicated external monitor.

2. External Monitor

For multitasking or competitive gaming, an external high refresh rate monitor can be a game changer. Pair your laptop with a 144Hz or 240Hz display for smoother visuals, or a color-accurate IPS monitor for creative work (AOC CQ27G3ZE 260Hz Gaming Monitor). The displays found on gaming laptops aren’t known for their quality, even if they offer a high refresh rate. So, an external monitor can not only offer better colors, but also be handy in many other ways. A bigger screen allows for improved visibility in certain games (PUBG or Rainbow Six Siege), while the actual laptop screen can double as a secondary screen. Gamers who run a two-monitor setup often have one screen display Discord or other apps while the bigger main display runs the game.

3. Gaming Headset

Good audio isn’t just about immersion; it can also give you a tactical edge (Cherry Xtrfy H1). A wired or wireless gaming headset with surround sound and a good mic ensures crystal clear communication and directional audio cues. Look for options with memory foam ear cups and detachable mics for comfort and convenience. This is one of the few must-haves on this list which you definitely can’t skip.

4. Mechanical Keyboard

While many gaming laptops have decent keyboards, they still can’t beat the tactile feedback of a mechanical one. An external mechanical gaming keyboard offers improved response time and key rollover. Compact tenkeyless (TKL) models are great for portability without compromising functionality (Keychron Black Myth Wukong Mechanical Keyboard). Pair this with your cooling stand and external monitor setup, and you have a near desktop level experience.

5. External Gaming Mouse

Trackpads are a no-go for serious gamers. Investing in a high-DPI, low-latency gaming mouse gives you better control, accuracy, and customization via software. Popular choices from Logitech, Razer, and SteelSeries offer programmable buttons, RGB lighting, and ergonomic designs to reduce strain during long sessions (Zaopin ZPW Max Gaming Mouse Review). Another honorable mention goes to the Game Controller that offers a much better gameplay experience in fighting or racing titles when compared to a keyboard.

Galaxy Buds 3 FE leak reveals full design and new matte black color

Aug 7, 2025

Samsung appears to be gearing up for the launch of its next budget-friendly wireless earbuds, the Galaxy Buds 3 FE. A new set of leaks has given us our best look yet at the Galaxy Buds 3 FE, while also confirming a fresh color option that adds a bit more style to this upcoming Fan Edition release.

First full look at the design:

A new render shared by Android Headlines on August 6 shows the Galaxy Buds 3 FE in detail, placed inside their charging case. At first glance, the design strongly resembles the Galaxy Buds 3 and Buds 3 Pro, with a stem-style layout and silicone ear tips—a clear shift from the open-fit design of the base Buds 3.

The charging case follows the same minimalist aesthetic seen on the more expensive models, complete with a transparent lid and compact build. A recent certification listing shows charging rates of 1W for the earbuds and 4.5W for the case, suggesting a modest charging setup. These listings also hint at a possible September 2025 launch, potentially alongside the Galaxy S25 FE.

In addition to the previously leaked white model, the new render reveals a matte black variant, giving users a more low-profile and sleek option. While the white version comes with a glossy finish, the black one offers a more subtle and muted appearance. There’s also reportedly a dual-tone variant featuring a gray case with black ear tips, adding more visual variety to the lineup.

The Galaxy Buds 3 FE are expected to sit slightly higher than the original Buds FE ($99), but still under the premium tier. If they deliver features like Galaxy AI integration, ANC, and enhanced audio quality, they could offer a solid middle ground for Samsung fans looking for flagship-level features without breaking the bank.

While nothing is official yet, all signs point toward a September unveiling, and if these leaks hold true, the Buds 3 FE could make a strong case for being the best value in Samsung’s wireless audio lineup this year.

In other words, Xiaomi’s 67W power bank can charge big gadgets like laptops and smaller devices like earbuds and smartwatches. As the name suggests, the power bank has a 10,000mAh battery capacity, and supports 65W self charging as well. A single full charge requires just under 1.5 hours. Xiaomi built this to be compact and convenient for travel. You can also find a digital display on the side, which shows crucial information like charge levels.

The company announced the Xiaomi Power Bank 10000 67W in two bright color variants, which include an off-white (beige) and a light blue option. Xiaomi is currently offering this model on pre-orders in China for 149 Yuan, which is roughly about 20 US Dollars. While there is no word on a global release, the power bank might debut globally after some time.

Xiaomi launches an affordable hair dryer that dries hair in 1 minute

Aug 7, 2025

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.

In related news, Xiaomi recently launched a new split air conditioner that purifies air, cools quickly, and eliminates viruses. The company has also introduced two new humidifiers featuring quiet operation, invisible mist, and HyperOS integration.

Lava Storm Play 5G review: Affordable 5G phone done right, thanks to standout features

By

Aug 7, 2025

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.

Aug 7, 2025

DJI has officially entered the home appliance market with the launch of its first robot vacuum series, the ROMO lineup. The new series includes three models: Romo S, Romo A, and Romo P. DJI is positioning the Romo series as a high-performance cleaning solution powered by its advanced sensing and robotics technology previously used in its flagship drones.

DJI Romo Series Specifications

The Romo series uses a dual fisheye visual system combined with three wide-angle solid-state LiDAR sensors to support millimeter-level obstacle avoidance. DJI says the robot can accurately detect objects as thin as 2mm and avoid obstacles like wires, furniture legs, and pet waste during cleaning. The system works in both bright and dim lighting conditions.

All three models feature 25,000Pa suction power, a 164ml onboard water tank for wet mopping, and a 260ml dustbin. DJI equips the Romo with dual flexible mechanical arms designed to ensure 100% edge coverage, reducing the chances of missed spots along walls and corners. The dual anti-tangle roller brush design is aimed at minimizing hair entanglement and reducing maintenance.

The Romo robot supports four cleaning modes: vacuum and mop, vacuum-only, mop-only, and vacuum-then-mop. Battery capacity stands at 5,000mAh, with a runtime of up to three hours in quiet vacuum mode. DJI includes a 55W fast charging system that takes about 2.5 hours to fully charge the robot.

DJI offers three versions of the Romo: the standard Romo S with a white body and basic features, the mid-range Romo A with a transparent shell and optional upgrades, and the flagship Romo P, which comes with a transparent robot and base station. The Romo P includes UV-sterilized dust bags, a built-in deodorizing wastewater module, and disinfectant cleaning fluids.

The base station supports self-cleaning and includes a 4L clean water tank, a 3.2L dirty water tank, and a 2.4L dust bag. The Romo P model uses a different station variant that adds antibacterial and deodorizing features by default. All base stations support Bluetooth 5.1 and dual-band Wi-Fi.

DJI also enables smart features like video calling, voice assistant support, remote video monitoring, and intelligent carpet detection through the DJI Home App. All models include TÜV SÜD baby-grade certification for hygiene and safety.

Pricing and Availability

The Romo P is priced at 6,799 yuan for the water tank version and 7,399 yuan ($1,030) for the auto water inlet/outlet model. The Romo A starts at 5,399 yuan ($752), while the base Romo S is available from 4,699 yuan ($654). These are now up for sale in China on JD.com.

In related news, DJI recently debuts its first 360 camera, the Osmo 360, with 8K panoramic capture and professional-grade features. DJI also unveils the Agras T100, a high-performance agricultural drone built for modern farming needs.debuted
