Jul 25, 2025

iQOO is reportedly working on the iQOO Z10 and Z10 Turbo-series phones for the Chinese market. The latter will be the third Turbo-branded phone after the Z10 Turbo and Z10 Turbo Pro. While previous reports had claimed that the next Turbo phone would be called the Z10 Turbo Pro+, the company’s Z-series product manager, Chengzi, has officially confirmed that the device will be called the iQOO Z10 Turbo+.

iQOO Z10 Turbo+ key specifications officially confirmed

IQOO Z10 Turbo+ Dimensity 9400 Plus — IQOO Z10 Turbo+ – Dimensity 9400 Plus

IQOO Z10 Turbo+ 8000mAh battery — IQOO Z10 Turbo+ – Dimensity 9400 Plus

Apart from confirming the iQOO Z10 Turbo+ name, the iQOO executive also revealed that the device will be powered by the Dimensity 9400 Plus chipset and pack a massive 8,000mAh battery. She also claimed that the goal behind launching this phone is to challenge the industry’s highest benchmark scores.

The AnTuTu scores of the iQOO Z10 Turbo+ are not known yet. However, the device has already appeared in Geekbench’s database, scoring 2196 points in the single-core test and 8907 points in the multi-core test. The 3C certification of the said device has revealed that it may support 90W fast charging.

It is likely that the iQOO Z10 Turbo+ may borrow other specifications from the Z10 Turbo Pro. Hence, it is expected to feature a 6.78-inch OLED panel that supports a 1.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. For photography, it may come with a 16-megapixel front camera and a dual rear camera setup comprising a 50-megapixel OIS primary sensor and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens. The phone may ship with up to 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage and 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM.

On the other hand, the iQOO Z10 (China variant), which is yet to be officially confirmed by the brand, is expected to feature a 1.5K OLED LTPS screen, a 50-megapixel primary camera, a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset, and an 8,000mAh+ battery.

UPI Comes to PayPal: What It Means for Global Payments

By

-

Jul 25, 2025

PayPal has confirmed that UPI will be part of its new global payments platform, PayPal World. This platform is designed to connect major digital wallets and payment systems worldwide, starting with PayPal, Venmo, UPI (via NPCI International), Mercado Pago, and Tenpay Global.

With this integration, Indian users will be able to make international payments using UPI. For example, someone in India shopping on a US-based website that supports PayPal will see the familiar UPI button at checkout and can complete the transaction using their usual payment app. This removes the need for a credit card or international payment account.

The platform will also support cross-border peer-to-peer payments. A Venmo user in the United States will be able to send money directly to a PayPal user in another country. This is the first time PayPal and Venmo will work together like this.

Businesses that use PayPal will automatically be able to accept payments from nearly two billion users who rely on domestic wallets like UPI and Weixin Pay. There is no need for extra coding or integrations. This helps businesses reach new customers without changing how they operate.

PayPal World will use open APIs and a cloud-based setup to support fast, secure transactions across multiple regions. The platform is built to work with different devices and will be compatible with new features over time, such as stablecoins and dynamic payment buttons.

Ritesh Shukla, CEO of NPCI International, said the move will help grow UPI’s reach beyond India and make global payments easier and safer for Indian users. PayPal World will begin rolling out this fall. More wallet and payment system partners are expected to join as the platform grows.

Gaming features include AI Visual enhancements, dynamic crosshair, and shadow boost, offering better visibility and training assistance. The redesigned base is 45% smaller than the previous generation, allowing a more compact setup.

Connectivity options include two HDMI 2.1 ports, one DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC, one USB-C port (15W Power Delivery, DP Alt), and a 3.5mm headphone jack. ASUS has also included an advanced internal cooling system to manage heat and further reduce the risk of screen burn-in. The monitor comes with a 3-year warranty.

Pricing & availability

The ROG Absolute X is available in the Chinese market with an initial price of 5,999 yuan (US$838).

Why Galaxy Z Fold 7 dropped the under-display camera — it’s not what you think

By

-

Jul 25, 2025

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 packs a powerful punch with its slimmer design and the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. But one design decision has caught many off guard — the return of a traditional punch-hole camera on the inner display, replacing the under-display camera (UDC) that had been part of the Fold series since the Fold 3. So, why the backtrack?

While the change has improved the image quality, there’s reportedly another reason behind it: legal pressure. Earlier this year, Chinese display maker BOE filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the US, claiming Samsung violated several under-display camera patents in its foldable lineup. While the case is still ongoing, the timing raised eyebrows, especially since it landed just months ahead of the Z Fold 7’s production window. It’s unclear whether the lawsuit directly influenced Samsung’s design decision, but it may have made the company more cautious.

Ultimately, the shift back to a punch-hole camera seems driven by a mix of practicality and user feedback. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 may not push display boundaries in the same way its predecessors did, but it delivers where it matters most: everyday performance and reliability.

The UDC was originally introduced to create a more seamless, uninterrupted screen experience by hiding the camera beneath the display. However, it came with a trade-off: lower image quality. Over the past few years, users have complained about the grainy, soft selfies produced by the 4MP under-display camera. For a phone priced at $1,999, many felt the camera simply didn’t live up to flagship standards. With the Z Fold 7, Samsung appears to have listened. While some fans may miss the clean look of a hidden camera, many appreciate the boost in quality and usability.

Whether this move signals a temporary retreat or a permanent shift remains to be seen — but for now, Samsung is clearly prioritizing quality over gimmicks.

Galaxy S25 Ultra costs more to make than S24 Ultra and S23 Ultra, even with lower camera and display costs

By

-

Jul 25, 2025

Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Ultra, launched in January 2025, is turning out to be more expensive to build than its predecessors—even though its starting price of $1,299 hasn’t changed. A new report from Counterpoint Research sheds light on where these extra costs are coming from and how Samsung is managing to keep the retail price steady.

According to Counterpoint’s analysis, the bill of materials (BoM) for the 12GB + 512GB variant of the Galaxy S25 Ultra is 3.4% higher than the S24 Ultra. That marks a bigger jump than the relatively modest cost increase from the S23 Ultra to the S24 Ultra.

The most significant cost driver? You guessed it—the new Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. Built on TSMC’s 3nm process and featuring Qualcomm’s custom Oryon CPU, the chip alone accounts for a 21% increase in system-on-chip (SoC) costs. The absence of Samsung’s in-house Exynos 2500—originally expected to serve as a cheaper alternative—has likely pushed the overall cost higher.

Memory pricing also ticked up slightly, reversing the decline seen between the S23 Ultra and S24 Ultra. Market fluctuations appear to be behind the bump, adding pressure to the phone’s overall production budget.

Not all component categories saw increases, though. The cost of the titanium frame—introduced with the S24 Ultra—has started to come down as production processes mature. Likewise, display costs have eased slightly from their peak in the previous generation, thanks to better manufacturing efficiency.

On the connectivity front, Samsung has managed to trim more than 10% in hardware costs by consolidating radio components, replacing older multi-part solutions with a newer single-chip transceiver. Even the camera setup, despite an upgraded 50MP ultrawide lens, ended up costing less overall—helped by the shift from a 10x to a 5x periscope zoom lens.

In all, the 3.4% rise in BoM costs for the S25 Ultra reflects a mix of minor upgrades and cost-saving trade-offs. Samsung seems to be walking a fine line between innovation and affordability, keeping the device competitive without dramatically raising the price for consumers.

Whether this balance holds in future models remains to be seen—but for now, Samsung appears to be absorbing rising costs where it matters most.

5 reasons the Nintendo Switch 2 might be worth buying

By

Rajesh Regmi

-

Jul 25, 2025

After a seven-year break, Nintendo has officially lifted the curtain on the Nintendo Switch 2. It’s a big moment for the company as well as fans. After all, the original Switch is one of the best-selling consoles in history, with over 142 million units sold since its debut in 2017.

Replicating that kind of success won’t be easy. But Nintendo seems confident in what it’s offering with the Switch 2. The new model keeps the core idea of a hybrid console intact—portable when you want it, docked to your TV when you don’t—but brings key updates in design, performance, and functionality.

If you’re wondering whether it’s worth the upgrade, here are five reasons the Switch 2 deserves your attention.

1. Portability Done Right (Again)

Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller

The original Switch made its name by being both a handheld and a home console. The Switch 2 doesn’t mess with that formula; it improves on it. The design is a bit larger, about 25% bigger than the first-gen model, but it’s still something you can toss in a backpack. The console flaunts a new 7.9-inch display is a noticeable step up from the original 6.2 inches, and that extra screen space matters when you’re gaming on the go.

Battery also gets a slight boost with a 5220 mAh unit, up from the 4310 mAh pack in the first model. And then there are the new Joy-Con 2 controllers. They’ve been completely reworked to avoid the infamous stick drift issues.

They’re now magnetically attached instead of using a mechanical latch, which could make for fewer durability problems over time. Each controller still comes packed with tech, gyroscopes, motion sensors, HD rumble, and the new “C” button on the right Joy-Con adds a dedicated GameChat function, making in-game communication a lot more seamless.

2. Real Performance Gains

Nintendo’s not trying to beat the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X in raw horsepower, but the Switch 2 is no slouch. Under the hood is Nvidia’s custom Tegra 239 chip, running on Ampere architecture with 2048 CUDA cores. That’s geek-speak for “this thing can handle modern games decently.”

In handheld mode, you’re looking at around 1.71 teraflops of processing power, just shy of the original PlayStation 4. In docked mode, the performance jumps to 3.1 teraflops, which puts it within shouting distance of the Xbox Series S.

Thanks to Nvidia’s DLSS and ray tracing support, Switch 2 games can also look much sharper without sacrificing framerate. Nintendo says you can expect 1080p at 60fps in handheld and 4K at 60fps while docked. That’s a huge leap from the 720p resolution on the OG Switch.

3. A Better, Brighter Display

One of the biggest debates leading up to launch was the decision to skip OLED and stick with an LCD panel. But this isn’t your average LCD. The 7.9-inch screen supports HDR10, VRR (variable refresh rate), and a 120Hz refresh rate, things you typically see on higher-end gaming monitors, not consoles you carry around.

While OLED would have delivered deeper blacks, early hands-on impressions suggest the screen still looks vibrant, sharp, and fast. The 1080p resolution finally gives portable games room to breathe, and the higher refresh rate means less blur when racing, fighting, or platforming at speed.

For handheld players, this screen might be the biggest reason to upgrade.

4. Fresh Games (and a Few Old Friends)

Nintendo’s launch lineup isn’t massive, but it’s putting a few key titles front and center. Mario Kart World is the flagship release. It brings a new open-map battle format and support for 120fps, with 24-player elimination-style races that shake up the traditional formula.

The Switch 2 Welcome Tour, a $10 tech demo disguised as a mini-game collection, shows off what the console can do. And Donkey Kong Bananza, dropping in July, finally gives DK the open-world experience he’s long deserved.

There’s also a new Metroid Prime, a Zelda spinoff (Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment), and a strange but intriguing wheelchair basketball game called Drag x Drive arriving this summer. And yes, more games are on the way, including Kirby Air Riders in 2025.

Even better, the console is backward compatible, mostly. Not every old Switch game will work, especially those that relied on legacy Joy-Con features like the infrared camera. But both physical cartridges and digital downloads from your old library will work, and that’s good news if you’ve already sunk a few hundred dollars into games over the years.

5. Accessories and Features That Just Make Sense

Nintendo rarely skimps on accessories, and the Switch 2 is launching with a whole ecosystem. From protective cases to new charging docks, there’s no shortage of gear to enhance your experience. The new dock even comes with active cooling, which should help during intense 4K gameplay sessions.

The updated Pro Controller looks like a solid option for those who prefer more traditional inputs while docked, and streaming support is already baked in. Want to show off your gameplay on Twitch or chat mid-game with a friend? There’s a camera, compatible headsets, and native support for it all.

And one small but smart touch. The right Joy-Con can now function like a computer mouse. It’s not a feature everyone will use, but it hints at Nintendo’s broader ambitions for hybrid productivity and play.

Galaxy Tab S11, S11 Ultra, and S10 Lite real-life shots confirm a downgrade in the top model

By

-

Jul 25, 2025

Samsung‘s next wave of tablets appears to be just around the corner. Leaked live photos have given us an early look at the upcoming Galaxy Tab S11, S11 Ultra, and S10 Lite, hinting at a fall launch and revealing a few notable changes in design and strategy.

The Tab S11 Ultra continues the large-screen trend with what looks like a refined 14.6-inch AMOLED display. This time, however, the wider notch from earlier models has been replaced by a smaller U-shaped cutout, confirming a shift to a single front camera. That change could be a trade-off—favoring a smaller notch over dual-camera versatility.

The Galaxy Tab S11, meanwhile, sticks to a familiar formula, with a design reminiscent of previous models like the Tab S10+ and S10 FE. It features slightly rounded corners and moderately thick bezels. Its dimensions suggest an 11-inch display, keeping it compact and portable.

Samsung also appears to be expanding its reach with a more budget-conscious option. The Galaxy Tab S10 Lite shares a similar look with the S11 but is speculated to pack more modest internals, including an Exynos chip, 6GB of RAM, and a sizable 8,000mAh battery with 45W fast charging support.

Under the hood, the Tab S11 and S11 Ultra are expected to feature the MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ (an upgrade over the Dimensity 9300+ found in the Tab S10+ and S10 Ultra), promising a noticeable performance jump. The entire lineup is set to run Android 16 with Samsung’s latest One UI 8.

With a shift in camera strategy and a more affordable Lite model, Samsung’s new tablets could appeal to a broader audience when they launch later this year.

Nothing Phone 3 gets a surprise Rs 20,000 discount just days after launch

Jul 25, 2025

The Nothing Phone (3) has barely had time to settle into store shelves, but it’s already getting a sizeable price cut in India. Just ten days after its official sale began on July 15, Nothing is offering buyers a chance to grab the phone for Rs 20,000 less than its launch price. Yes, really.

The offer is live on Flipkart and is part of a limited-time promotion. It’s a two-part deal: you get Rs 10,000 off instantly if you use ICICI and IDFC credit cards, and another Rs 10,000 as an exchange bonus when you trade in your old phone. These discounts can be combined, bringing the effective starting price of the Nothing Phone 3 down to Rs 59,999.

Get Nothing Phone (3) at a minimum of Rs 20,000 discount

Here’s an example. If you’re upgrading from a Nothing Phone (1), Flipkart will give you up to Rs 22,000 as base exchange value. This includes a Rs 10,000 exchange bonus. You can also add a Rs 10,000 bank discount on eligible cards, bringing your total savings to ₹32,000.

My colleague used his Axis Bank credit card and received an Rs 8,000 discount. He exchanged his Phone (1), which brought the final price down to Rs 50,806.

Of course, the actual exchange value will depend on the phone you’re trading in. A more premium model will receive a higher valuation and will further reduce the effective price of the new phone.

To recap, the Phone (3) comes in two configurations:

12GB RAM + 256GB storage at Rs 79,999
16GB RAM + 512GB storage at Rs 89,999

As for specifications, it features a 6.67-inch LTPS AMOLED panel with a 1.5K resolution, HDR10+ support, and a peak brightness of up to 4500 nits. Powering it is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip, paired with a 5,500mAh battery that supports 65W wired and 15W wireless charging. The triple rear camera setup includes three 50MP sensors (wide, ultra-wide, and telephoto), while a 32MP camera handles selfies.

Galaxy S26 Ultra to finally surpass 5,000mAh and pair it with 65W charging

By

-

Jul 25, 2025

Slated for a January 2026 launch, the Galaxy S26 Ultra could finally deliver a better balance between power and portability—something users have long been asking for.

According to X tipster @chunvn8888, the Galaxy S26 Ultra will pack a 5,500mAh battery—up from the 5,000mAh cell in its predecessor. While the 10% bump is a welcome change, it still falls short of the massive 6,000mAh+ batteries seen in most Chinese rivals. However, Samsung appears to be making up for it with other improvements.

The bigger story might be the 65W wired charging support. This would be the fastest charging speed ever offered on a Samsung phone, finally moving beyond the 45W cap that’s been in place since the Galaxy S22 Ultra.

Wireless charging is also getting a boost. The S26 Ultra is expected to support 25W wireless speeds using the new Qi2 standard. It might require a magnetic case for optimal performance, but it’s still a notable jump for Samsung in the wireless charging space.

Despite the larger battery, the device is rumored to be even slimmer than last year’s model. Thanks to a more efficient internal layout, the S26 Ultra could be as thin as 7.9mm, down from 8.2mm.

Performance upgrades are also expected. The phone will likely be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 for Galaxy, though it’s still unclear whether the chip will be made by TSMC with slightly higher clock speeds, or by Samsung Foundry using its new 2nm process—similar to the Exynos 2600 expected in the base model.

Still, not everyone is thrilled. Some users have voiced disappointment over the relatively modest battery increase, saying Samsung needs to go further to truly compete with flagship phones from China that offer larger batteries without sacrificing thickness or weight.

Samsung-made Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 back on the table for Galaxy S26 Ultra

Jul 24, 2025

The Galaxy S26 series may still feature a Samsung-made version of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 chip, according to a new leak that sheds fresh light on the chipset strategy for Samsung’s 2026 flagships.

On July 23, tipster Digital Chat Station posted on Weibo that the SM8850s — the variant of Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 manufactured by Samsung Foundry — remains in contention for the S26 lineup. This contradicts earlier reports that the chip had been shelved due to yield issues with Samsung’s 2nm GAA (Gate-All-Around) process. However, this latest leak claims Samsung is still working to improve its yields ahead of Q1 2026.

The Samsung-made version of the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 reportedly costs less to produce, which could help Samsung keep pricing stable — particularly for the Ultra, which is expected to stick close to the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s $1,219 launch price.

It’s unclear whether the Samsung-made chip will carry the usual “Snapdragon for Galaxy” branding. That label might be dropped if Chinese smartphone makers end up using the same Samsung-made chip in some models. However, this wouldn’t be a repeat of what happened with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 or Snapdragon 888. In 2026, Chinese brands will have the option to stick with the more expensive TSMC-made version, as performance and power efficiency remain top priorities for them.

As for the Galaxy S26 lineup, the Samsung-made Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 is expected to strike a middle ground between the base model’s Exynos 2600 (also built on Samsung’s 2nm process) and the TSMC-made Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 that smartphone makers from China are expected to use. For Samsung users, this mirrors the Galaxy S22 series, where different regions received either the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 or the Exynos 2200—both offering comparable performance and efficiency.

Stay tuned as more details emerge closer to the expected Galaxy S26 launch in early 2026.

Galaxy Z Fold 7 proves unbreakable in extreme durability tests

By

Jul 24, 2025

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7, unveiled on July 9, is not just about sleek looks and high-end specs—it’s also turning heads for its durability. In a recent YouTube video, the foldable flagship was put through a series of extreme challenges to see how well it can hold up in tough conditions.

The test pushed the $1,999 device well beyond everyday use. It began with the phone being frozen in a block of ice for over 12 hours. After thawing, the Z Fold 7 powered on without any issues, with both the 6.5-inch outer screen and the 8-inch foldable display functioning as expected.

Next came a 30-minute dunk in a fast-moving river, complete with sand and finer dust particles. Surprisingly, this IP48-rated foldable held up, protecting its expensive internals from the moisture and solid particles. The Z Fold 7 also endured spills from nine different liquids—including coffee, soda, tea, and both hot and cold water—with no apparent damage, at least during the recording.

Scratch tests showed the cover screen, protected by Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2, resisting damage up to level 6-7 on the Mohs scale. The back glass and camera lenses remained scratch-free, while the inner screen, now protected by a thicker Ultra-Thin Glass layer, fared better than past generations against casual contact.

Drop tests from around 6 feet didn’t crack either screen or damage the hinge. Even the bend test—where pressure is applied to fold the device backward—didn’t break it, thanks to Samsung’s upgraded Armor FlexHinge, titanium backplate, and stronger Advanced Armor Aluminum frame. For a foldable that’s just 8.9mm thick when shut, that’s impressive.

All in all, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 survived its torture test with functioning as normal. While its IP48 rating doesn’t ensure protection from finer dust particles, the 30-minute dunk test in a fast-moving river shows it’s built to handle more than just everyday accidents. If you’re thinking about getting one, a case is still a good idea—but Samsung’s foldables clearly aren’t as fragile as they used to be in the first few generations.

Here’s Why the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Might Be Worth the Wait

By

Jul 24, 2025

With the Galaxy S25 Ultra still fresh, you might be tempted to upgrade now. But the next gen Galaxy S26 Ultra might just be worth the wait. Early leaks hint at some significant improvements like improved performance, a better camera system, and much more. So here’s every reason you should hold off just a little longer.

1. Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra: Better S Pen & Display

Galaxy S25 Ultra – Now Bar

The South Korean tech giant’s next big flagship could be getting some minor changes to its display. Samsung may make the display ever so slightly taller by reducing the bezels surrounding the screen. From 6.86-inch to 6.9-inch thanks to slimmer bezels. That’s not all, rumors claim that the panel itself is getting slimmer as the brand could shift to using a CoE OLED screen (Color Filter of Encapsulation), which could also make the display more power efficient.

Taking advantage of the better display, Samsung’s S Pen stylus may finally fix a long standing issue related to magnets. Users that often rely on the S Pen complained about magnetic interference from accessories. Despite the Galaxy S25 Ultra supporting Qi2 wireless charging standards, third party accessories still cause warning to appear when the magnets are near the stylus. But the Galaxy S26 Ultra could address this problem, allowing Samsung to offer built-in magnets like current gen iPhones, rather than relying on magnetic cases.

2. Photography Leap

Over the last couple of flagship generations, Samsung barely made any changes to the Ultra series camera system. While the Galaxy S25 Ultra made one notable upgrade to its ultra wide angle lens, the Galaxy S26 Ultra might be making a bigger leap. The biggest potential upgrade is with the primary camera.

The next top model might move away from its proprietary ISOCELL sensor, in favor of the 200MP Sony CMOS sensor (first ever 200MP camera from Sony). This is also a large camera, which could be nearly 1-inch large. To recall, the S25 Ultra’s main shooter is the 1/1.3-inch ISOCELL HP2 sensor, while the S26 Ultra may bring a 1/1.1-inch sensor.

So Samsung might finally compete with the top Chinese flagships like the Oppo Find X8 Ultra, Xiaomi 15 Ultra, and others. Apart from this, the 3x telephoto camera may get a new sensor with higher resolution as well.

3. Faster Charging Finally?

Despite Chinese smartphone brands pushing the battery capacities on their devices thanks to improvements in battery tech, Samsung and Apple appear rather lethargic in making any big changes. The S25 Ultra supporting 45W wired fast charging was decent, but definitely no more close to most other premium Android offerings. However, this could be changing next year. One of the recent reports states that the S26 Ultra could finally deliver true fast charging with 65W.

So all of these changes easily make it a lot more substantial as an upgrade if you’re looking for buying a new Samsung flagship. Keep in mind that these are still unconfirmed rumors and leaks, so stick around for more.
