Samsung Electronics has unveiled a new gaming monitor called the Odyssey 3D (G90XF), offering an immersive gaming experience without the need for 3D glasses. As per the official listing, the monitor is already available on Amazon and is priced at Rs 1,27,000.
Glasses-free 3D with real-time eye tracking
Samsung Odyssey 3D gaming monitor
The key innovation behind the Odyssey 3D lies in its ability to deliver a glasses-free 3D experience. This is made possible through a combination of three technologies—eye tracking, view mapping, and a lenticular lens. A stereo camera placed on top of the 27-inch 4K display tracks the user’s eye movement and viewing distance in real time. The system then calculates the correct image projection for each eye, creating a stereoscopic effect.
This intelligent visual mapping ensures the depth and clarity of 3D visuals remain consistent even if the viewer moves. What makes it more accessible is that the 3D experience remains unaffected even for those wearing prescription glasses. The lenticular lens comes into action only when 3D mode is enabled via the Odyssey 3D Hub app, preserving high-quality visuals in standard 2D mode.
Designed for gamers with advanced features
The monitor supports a 165Hz refresh rate, 1ms (GTG) response time, AMD FreeSync Premium, G-Sync, HDR10+, and other gaming-centric tools like Virtual Aim Point and Black Equalizer. It also includes anti-glare coating and precision calibration to reduce visual overlap and distortion—a common issue in older 3D monitors.
Samsung’s Odyssey 3D not only opens up a new dimension in gaming but also underscores the company’s focus on smart, performance-driven display technology tailored for modern gamers.

Market research firm Counterpoint recently shared statistics for the global smartphone SoC market share in the first quarter of 2025, and MediaTek came out ahead in the race.
According to the report, MediaTek captured 26% of global smartphone SoC shipments during the quarter. The company posted quarter-over-quarter growth because of strong demand for entry-level and mainstream chips.
In particular, Counterpoint notes that the Dimensity 8400 helped lift MediaTek shipments in the mid-to-high-end segment, even as the premium-tier volumes slipped.
Qualcomm follows closely with a 28% market share. Although its shipment volume remained flat compared to the previous quarter, the U.S. chipmaker maintained its position due to continued demand for its high-end processors.
The Snapdragon 8 Elite is doing most of the heavy lifting here. It’s the go-to chip for many of this year’s flagships and is also the exclusive SoC for Samsung’s Galaxy S25 series. Counterpoint also notes that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 continues to perform well for Qualcomm.
Huawei settles for number six
Apple ranks third in the table with a 17% market share. Its shipments rose year-over-year, thanks to the iPhone 16e powered by the Apple A18 chip. However, seasonal slowdown is said to have curbed its quarter-over-quarter growth.
UNISOC and Samsung secured the fourth and fifth spots with 10% and 5% market shares, respectively. UNISOC experienced a sequential decline in shipments, largely due to weaker LTE chipset demand. Even so, the company continued to perform well in the sub-$99 segment, thanks to its budget LTE offerings.
Samsung’s Exynos division, on the other hand, posted some growth last quarter. The Galaxy A56 with Exynos 1580 and the A16 5G with Exynos 1330 helped drive this uptick. Shipments of the Exynos 1380 also rose, supported by strong demand for the Galaxy A26 series.
Huawei’s HiSilicon ranked sixth with a 4% market share. Although its shipments declined quarter-over-quarter, the company continued to benefit from strong domestic brand loyalty. The Nova 13 series with the Kirin 8010 and the flagship Mate 70 featuring the Kirin 9020 supported HiSilicon’s performance during the quarter.

Xiaomi is preparing for a major product event on June 26 in China, and among the expected announcements is the Mix Flip 2, the company’s second-generation flip-style foldable.
This year, Xiaomi’s strategy around foldables appears more focused. The Mix Flip 2 is currently slated to be the only foldable phone from the company in 2025, with no Mix Fold 5 in sight. That alone makes it a bigger deal than it might have been otherwise.
Ahead of the launch, Xiaomi has already teased official images of the Mix Flip 2, and a few specs have surfaced through benchmark databases and certification listings. Between company teasers, benchmark tests, and leaks from Chinese tipsters, we have a fairly complete picture of the phone.
If you’ve seen the original Mix Flip, you won’t be surprised by the Mix Flip 2’s design. It retains the vertical camera layout of the original Flip, paired with minimal bezels on the cover screen. The device will be available in green, gold, and purple shades.
Physically, the Mix Flip 2 could be slightly more compact and lighter than its predecessor. It’s expected to weigh around 190 grams and measure 7.6mm thick when unfolded.
The company might also focus on improving its durability, as the Flip 2 is expected to feature a high-strength hinge and materials that have passed military-grade drop tests. The phone will be IPX8 rated, which means it’s technically water-resistant but not dustproof.
2. Bigger battery, faster charging
As for the battery, the Mix Flip 2 has been certified with a 5,100mAh battery, which would make it one of the largest in its category. For comparison, Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 5 packs a 3,700mAh battery while its predecessor has a 4,780mAh cell.
The Mix Flip 2 will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite, a chip that’s also expected to show up in other premium foldables like the Honor Magic V5.
A recent Geekbench listing for the phone, under the model number 2505APX7BC, confirms the chip and reveals scores of 2835 (single-core) and 8550 (multi-core). While benchmarks rarely tell the whole story, they do point to a noticeable performance bump over last year’s flagship foldables.
RAM appears to start at 12GB, though Xiaomi may offer higher-end configurations as well. The phone will run Android 15 out of the box, skinned with Xiaomi’s HyperOS 2.0 custom UI.
4. A taller main screen
The main display is expected to be a 6.85-inch LTPO AMOLED panel with 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. That size makes it one of the taller flip phones on the market, and it could improve usability in apps that require more vertical space. As for the external screen, leaks point to a 4.01-inch dual-curve display, which is a bit bigger than Mix Flip’s panel.
A larger outer screen means more utility for quick tasks — checking messages, controlling music, or using widgets — without needing to flip open the device. This kind of secondary display is becoming more central to how flip phones function, and Xiaomi is in the same line as Motorola’s Razr Plus or Samsung’s Z Flip series.
5. Cameras get the Leica treatment
Xiaomi’s ongoing partnership with Leica continues here. The Mix Flip 2 will reportedly ship with a 50MP main sensor that supports optical image stabilization, paired with a 50MP ultra-wide lens.
Of course, the impact of Leica branding on mobile camera performance is debatable — Xiaomi devices tend to handle tuning in-house — but it does give the phone a little more marketing weight in a crowded premium segment.
6. Other features and ecosystem tie-ins
The Mix Flip 2 is expected to support an in-display fingerprint scanner, NFC, and an IR blaster, continuing Xiaomi’s trend of packing in small but useful hardware features.
As for software, HyperOS 2.0 will likely bring more continuity features between Xiaomi phones, tablets, and smart home devices, especially given that the Pad 7S Pro and Redmi K Pad are also expected to launch at the same event.
While some of these additions may seem minor, they collectively make the device more competitive against foldables from Samsung and Motorola, which have sometimes cut corners in these areas.
7. No Mix Fold this year
The most interesting twist this year isn’t just the phone itself, it’s what’s not launching. According to early reports, Xiaomi has no plans to release a Mix Fold 5 in 2025. That leaves the Mix Flip 2 as the company’s sole foldable option this cycle.
Whether this is a response to sales data, supply chain issues, or a broader change in foldable strategy isn’t clear yet. But it’s a notable pivot, especially when competitors like Samsung and Honor continue to offer both fold and flip variants.
8. Global launch could happen soon after
As for availability, the Mix Flip 2 will launch in China first on June 26, alongside the Redmi K80 Ultra and two new tablets. But a global release is likely in July, based on Xiaomi’s typical launch schedule and regulatory filings. The K80 Ultra, by contrast, may remain exclusive to China or eventually launch globally as a rebranded Xiaomi 15T Pro later this year.
9. Positioning against the Galaxy Z Flip 7
Xiaomi’s launch also comes just ahead of Samsung’s expected debut of the Galaxy Z Flip 7, which will likely be its closest competitor. If the Mix Flip 2 delivers on its hardware promises, it could offer a real challenge to Samsung in markets where both are sold.
But Xiaomi’s foldables have so far been mostly limited to China, and even when they launch globally, software support and update timelines can lag behind brands like Samsung or Google. That’s still the biggest unknown with the Mix Flip 2: not what’s in the phone, but how well it will be supported over time.
