Xiaomi has confirmed that the Redmi Pad 2 will launch in India on June 18. The tablet will be available in both Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi + Cellular variants. It will support a stylus and is expected to be priced under ₹20,000.
The tablet is already available in other countries. It features an 11-inch 2.5K screen with a 90Hz refresh rate, powered by the MediaTek Helio G100 Ultra processor. It comes with quad speakers, a 9,000mAh battery, and supports 18W fast charging. The body is made of metal and is 7.36mm thick.
Xiaomi started teasing the Redmi Pad 2 earlier with the tagline “Built for More,” highlighting a large screen and long battery life. The teasers mentioned that the tablet would be lighter and more compact than a laptop and focused on multimedia use. Stylus support was also shown in early images.
Global teasers revealed Mint Green, Grey, and Violet color options. The tablet includes an 8MP rear camera, a 5MP front camera, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. A 4G model is also confirmed.
A European listing showed that the display can reach up to 600 nits of brightness. The Wi-Fi variant was listed with 4GB RAM and 128GB storage at 199 Euros (about ₹19,395). The 4G variant with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage was listed at 299 Euros (about ₹22,320).
After the launch in India, the Redmi Pad 2 will be available through Amazon.in, Flipkart, mi.com, and offline stores. More details, including exact pricing and available variants, will be confirmed at launch.

Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) kicks off June 9, and while new operating systems are the main event, some exciting AirPods upgrades are also expected. From clever head gestures to camera controls, Apple is reportedly cooking up features that will make its wireless earbuds even more intuitive and versatile for everyday use.
According to 9to5Mac, Apple is testing five new AirPods features that could steal the show at WWDC. First up, enhanced head gestures are coming to AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods 4, building on last year’s nod-to-answer and shake-to-decline for calls and notifications. These new gestures will let users tweak Conversation Awareness volume—say, lowering audio during chats—and revert to original noise settings with a simple head movement, no stem-tapping needed. Speaking of the stem, a new Camera Control feature will let you snap photos on your iPhone or iPad by clicking the AirPods’ stem, perfect for hands-free shots.
Sleep auto-pause is another gem, using sleep detection to pause music if you doze off while wearing your AirPods. Then there’s Audio Mix, introduced with the iPhone 16 series, which uses machine learning to separate speech from background noise. Apple is reportedly working on a “studio quality” mic mode for AirPods, offering In-frame, Studio, and Cinematic voice options, though details are still scarce. Lastly, an improved pairing experience for shared iPads, likely aimed at classrooms, promises smoother connections with fewer manual steps.
While Apple is keeping mum for now, these features could roll out with iOS 19 or a firmware update. With WWDC just days away, we’re excited to see how these upgrades will make AirPods smarter and more seamless for users.

Samsung is gearing up for a big reveal at its Galaxy Unpacked event this summer, with whispers of not one, but three new foldable smartphones on the horizon. Fresh certifications hint at an exciting lineup, including a budget-friendly surprise that could reshape the foldable market. This affordable flip phone was previously speculated to launch alongside the Fold 7 and Flip 7, and the latest development only reaffirms that.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE CAD renders
Recent filings with Indonesia’s TKDN certification platform have confirmed three model numbers—SM-F761B, SM-F766B, and SM-F966B—believed to represent the Galaxy Z Flip7, Galaxy Z Flip7 FE, and Galaxy Z Fold7, respectively. The Z Flip7 and Z Fold7 are expected successors to last year’s models, with the latter potentially carrying an “Ultra” branding to signal premium upgrades. The real head-turner, though, is the Galaxy Z Flip7 FE, a more affordable foldable that could make Samsung’s foldable tech accessible to a wider crowd. Unlike the rumored tri-fold Galaxy G Fold, which may see a limited release, the Z Flip7 FE seems poised for a global debut alongside its siblings.
While Samsung is keeping specs under wraps, leaks suggest the Z Flip7 could sport a larger 4-inch cover display and a 6.85-inch main screen, powered by an Exynos 2500 chip in most regions, with the Snapdragon 8 Elite reserved for North America and China. The Z Fold7 might slim down to 4.5mm when unfolded, boasting a 200MP main camera and Android 16-based One UI 8. The Z Flip7 FE, likely a toned-down version, may stick with a 3.4-inch cover display and an Exynos 2400 chip to keep costs low.
Set for a July 2025 launch, these foldables will likely share the stage with the Galaxy Watch8 and Tab S11. With competition heating up, Samsung’s bold move with an FE model could redefine the foldable game.
Vivo introduced the X200 Pro mini smartphone as part of its flagship X series last year. The model appears to be continuing with the X300 series, as leaks about it have already started surfacing online.
Vivo X300 Pro mini might come with a 7000mAh cell
The latest comes from well-known tipster Digital Chat Station, who may have just given away one of the phone’s standout features. In a now-edited post, the leaker claims that an upcoming 6.3-inch device will feature a battery rated at around 7000mAh.
The post didn’t name the device outright, but all signs point to it being the Vivo X300 Pro mini. For comparison, the X200 Pro mini is equipped with a 5700mAh battery, which is already impressive for its size. A bump to 7000mAh will make the phone more durable, given the rest of the hardware doesn’t weigh it down.
An earlier report also hinted at a significant battery upgrade for the X300 model, and this new leak seems to back that up.
While we do not know much about the X300 Pro mini, let’s take a quick recap of the X200 Pro mini’s specs.
The phone has a 6.31-inch LTPO AMOLED display capable of pumping out 1B colors, with HDR10+ support and a 120Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, the phone runs on Android 15 with MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400.
Vivo X200 Pro Mini
The camera system is co-engineered with Zeiss, featuring a triple 50MP setup: a wide sensor with OIS, a 3x optical zoom periscope telephoto, and an ultrawide with autofocus. You also got laser autofocus, Zeiss T* lens coating, and 4K video recording.
For selfies, you get a 32MP ultrawide front camera, capable of 4K video, while audio is handled by stereo speakers—though yes, the 3.5mm headphone jack is absent.
OnePlus‘ compact powerhouse has finally made its global debut in the Indian market. The company announced the OnePlus 13s has just been announced with a small form factor and cutting edge performance thanks to the flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC. So here’s everything you need to know.
OnePlus 13s: What’s so special about this compact flagship?
The OnePlus 13s has just been launched with a 6.32-inch LTPO OLED display that has a 1.5K resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, 1600 nits of peak brightness, and Dolby Vision support. Surrounding this display is a metallic frame that measures 8.15mm, with its body weighing just 185 grams. On the rear, you get a 2.5D glass while the side includes the new Plus Key, which replaces the iconic Alert Slider.

OnePlus 13s
Under the hood, the OnePlus 13s is a compact powerhouse thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Elite. This is paired with LPPDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage. Despite being smaller than a typical smartphone in today’s market, it houses a massive 5,850mAh battery pack. This is slightly smaller than the Chinese variant (OnePlus 13T), which packs a 6,260mAh cell. But similar to the 13T, the OnePlus 13S also supports 80W wired fast charging.
For photography, the rear features a 50MP Sony LYT700 primary sensor along with a 50MP telephoto shooter with 2x optical zoom. The front houses a 32MP shooter for selfies and video calls with auto focus. Other notable features include an in-display fingerprint sensor, an infrared sensor, an IP65 rating, NFC, and WiFi 7.
Pricing and Availability
The OnePlus 13s has been released in three color options, namely Black Velvet, Pink Satin, and Green Silk (India exclusive).

Android 16 stable version is coming to Google Pixels sometime this month, and it’ll soon begin rolling out to Vivo phones as well. While the exact release date is still under the cover, it should not be more than a few weeks away.

Please note that there are many Vivo phones with no clear-cut software update policy. So, it’s difficult to tell whether they will be upgraded to Android 16 or not. We didn’t include some devices on the list that we weren’t confident about, but they still have a chance. So, if your device isn’t there, it’s worth waiting until the official list is released.
One thing I find particularly disturbing about Vivo phones is that they lack a transparent software update policy, particularly for mid-range and cheaper models. Users have no clue whether their device will receive a major upgrade until an official announcement is made. This uncertainty is common among Y-series phones.
Premium models, however, get a nice treat — faster updates and extended software support. Take the X200 series, for example: it is promised four OS updates, previously limited to three. Several iQOO models, such as the iQOO 13 and iQOO 12 series, have also been promised the same extended support.
The Vivo V50 series also received an additional OS update, previously limited to just two. Meanwhile, the Vivo T and Y series phones usually get just two. The iQOO Z series follows the same trend, but recent Neo models now receive up to three major updates.
While Vivo is gradually improving its update policy, it still falls short compared to industry leaders like Google and Samsung. Both these companies now offer up to seven years of updates for premium models, with even their mid-range devices getting four Android upgrades. More importantly, they communicate this information clearly to their users.
In short, Vivo does offer decent update support for its premium and newer models, but there’s still a big room for improvement — especially when it comes to transparency and consistency for lower-tier models.
Xiaomi is set to launch the Smart Band 10 globally, following the Smart Band 9 that debuted in Europe in November 2024. New leaks from XpertPick and tipster Sudhanshu Ambhore reveal the full specs and images of the upcoming fitness tracker.
The Smart Band 10 will feature a 1.72-inch AMOLED display with a 212 x 520 resolution and 326 ppi. The display is narrow-edged and has an elliptical shape. It will run on Xiaomi’s latest HyperOS 2.0 and sync health and fitness data through the Mi Fitness app.
The band supports over 150 sports modes and is compatible with devices running Android 8.0 or iOS 12.0 and above. It is powered by a 233mAh LiPo battery, which takes about one hour to fully charge and can last up to 21 days on a single charge.
It includes an accelerometer, gyroscope, electronic compass, PPG heart rate sensor, and ambient light sensor. The device has a sandblasted aluminum frame and comes with a TPU strap. It measures 46.57 x 22.54 x 10.95 mm and weighs 15.95 grams without the strap.
The Smart Band 10 will be available in black, white, and pink strap options. In Europe, it is expected to be priced between 40 and 50 euros, depending on the region.
Compared to the Smart Band 9, the main upgrades are the larger display and the new operating system.

Huawei is opening up reservations for its upcoming Pura 80 series, ahead of an official unveiling set for June 11 in China. The pre-launch routine follows a familiar playbook for the company, which often invites early interest before pulling the curtain back on its new devices.
Starting today, Huawei’s VMall store has begun accepting pre-reservations for the Pura 80 Pro and the Pura 80 Pro+. These are two of the four expected models in the lineup. As of this writing, the pair has already attracted over 34,000 combined reservations.
Pura 80 retains Huawei’s iconic camera design
The pre-reservation listing may also offer an early glimpse at one of the phones. A promotional image shows what appears to be the Pura 80 in a pleasing red finish. The camera module retains the iconic triangular design, complete with the company’s XMAGE imaging branding.
The broader Pura 80 lineup is rumored to include four models: the base Pura 80, the Pro, the Pro+, and an Ultra version. According to reporting from MyDrivers, the vanilla Pura 80 and top-tier Ultra may not arrive alongside the others and could be saved for a later launch.
Details on the Pura 80 Pro+ have started to emerge through leaks. Tipster Digital Chat Station claims the device will feature a 50MP triple-camera setup with a large sensor, along with a multispectral sensor.
The device also features a curved metal frame and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. The entire Pura 80 series will debut with HarmonyOS 5 out of the box, making it the first flat-flagship line-up to do so. Since its unveiling in March, HarmonyOS 5 has received iterative updates focused on improved security, fluidity, and ecosystem integration.
There’s still a lot that Huawei hasn’t confirmed. But we don’t have to wait much as the launch is just a week away.

Infinix has been steadily climbing the ranks in India’s competitive smartphone landscape, but the newly launched GT 30 Pro feels like a declaration of intent. Marketed with the flair of a serious gaming machine yet priced like a budget all-rounder, the GT 30 Pro isn’t just another phone in the company’s portfolio, it’s Infinix’s most aggressive pitch yet to gamers who want flagship-like features without hemorrhaging cash.
First impressions matter. The GT 30 Pro doesn’t shy away from looking like a gaming phone, but it avoids going completely overboard. It’s available in two variants: Dark Flare, which has customizable RGB LED lighting on the back, and Blade White, which swaps the RGB for a subtler white LED aesthetic. Both stick to a Cyber Mecha 2.0 design language that looks like it belongs on a custom-built gaming PC.
The LEDs aren’t just decoration. They’re customizable, reactive, and deeply integrated into the XOS 15 skin. You can set lighting effects for notifications, charging, and even while gaming, something that typically stays exclusive to much pricier phones or external gaming accessories.
2. Serious Specs at a Budget Price
The Infinix GT 30 Pro is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Ultimate, a 6nm chipset clocked up to 3.35GHz. It delivers smooth performance across modern titles, including BGMI, which runs at 120FPS. Infinix has secured official BGMI certification from Krafton, giving the phone added credibility among mobile gamers.
The device is available in two configurations: 8GB RAM + 256GB storage for ₹24,999 and 12GB RAM + 256GB storage for ₹26,999. Both models use LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage, with support for an additional 12GB of virtual RAM. To maintain consistent performance during extended gameplay, the GT 30 Pro features a six-layer vapor chamber cooling system that’s 13% larger than its predecessor, helping manage heat and reduce throttling.
3. Display and Controls Tailored for Gamers
Gaming is visual and tactile, and the GT 30 Pro nails both. The 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED panel with a 144Hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling makes for fluid, responsive gameplay. It also supports 2160Hz instant touch sampling and 2304Hz PWM dimming, reducing eye strain during long sessions, a surprisingly thoughtful addition for a budget gaming phone.
But the killer hardware touch is the shoulder triggers. Capacitive, mapped to specific touch points at 520Hz, and customizable, they offer console-style control in titles like BGMI and Call of Duty Mobile. Most phones in this price segment don’t offer dedicated triggers, and those that do often skimp on quality or latency. Here, Infinix is trying to make the triggers more than just a gimmick.
4. Battery, Charging, and Software
Gaming drains power fast, so the 5,500mAh battery (though some markets get 5,200mAh) is paired with 45W fast charging, 30W wireless charging, and even reverse wireless charging. Infinix has also thrown in bypass charging, which lets you game while plugged in without juicing up the battery, a feature gamers know helps keep temps lower and batteries healthier long-term.
Software-wise, the phone runs Android 15 out of the box with Infinix’s XOS 15 skin on top. The UI packs gaming-centric features like Game Mode, Floating Window, Dynamic Bar, and Folax smart assistant, their take on AI voice interaction. Importantly, Infinix is committing to two years of Android updates and three years of security patches, which is a step up from what many budget brands promise.
5. The Final Play: Pricing and Extras
Infinix isn’t just relying on the phone alone. The company is offering the GT Gaming Ki, a MagCase, and MagCharge cooling fan, at a discounted ₹1,199 for buyers. On Day 1, Flipkart customers also get a ₹2,000 discount, making the entry price even more aggressive.
At this price, with these specs, and with gamer-specific hardware like shoulder triggers, AMOLED 144Hz panel, and active cooling accessories, the Infinix GT 30 Pro has managed something rare, it turns budget gaming from a compromise into a genuine proposition. Most phones in this range try to be everything to everyone. This one clearly knows who it’s for.

Nintendo’s long-awaited Switch 2 is set to hit shelves officially tomorrow for $449.99, but the company has already pulled back the curtain on something far less flashy and far more practical: repair costs. If you’re planning to buy one and considering how fast preorders have moved, many already have; it’s worth knowing how much you might pay down the road if your shiny new console starts acting up.
The repair prices, quietly posted on Nintendo’s Japanese website, paint a picture of the Switch 2’s internal architecture and the likely wear points that could eventually need servicing. The fees range from a relatively modest 7,150 yen (about $50) for minor issues to a steep 27,500 yen (around $192) for serious motherboard-level failures. All prices include tax.
Let’s start with the worst-case scenario: if your Switch 2 suddenly refuses to power on, won’t charge, freezes frequently, or throws up constant game read errors, you’re likely looking at a motherboard replacement. That fix costs the full 27,500 yen, which isn’t far off the price of an entirely new console in some markets.
Cracked screens or broken touch panels, both of which are unfortunately common in portable devices, will cost 15,400 yen (roughly $108). That’s less than a full replacement, but still painful enough to make you think twice before tossing your Switch 2 in a bag without a case.
Other mid-tier repairs include the USB-C charging port, the battery, or the game card slot, each priced at 9,900 yen ($69). These components are frequently used and can wear out over time, especially if the device is used docked and undocked often or travels a lot.
And then there are the low-end repairs: speaker glitches, SD card issues, and headphone jack failures. These fall into the 7,150 yen ($50) bracket, which sits at the more affordable end of Nintendo’s official repair pricing.
It’s worth noting that Nintendo’s regional repair policies vary, so international pricing could look different once the Switch 2 rolls out globally. Still, the Japanese pricing gives a clear idea of where the most vulnerable parts lie and what kind of bill you might face if your console starts misbehaving.

Vivo T4 Ultra: Design and Display
Looking at the official teasers, the Vivo T4 Ultra has a design that closely resembles its predecessor, the T3 Ultra. This means that the large pill shaped camera module on the rear makes a return this year. However, the T3 Ultra only had a dual camera setup, while the newer T4 Ultra packs three image sensors on the rear.
Meanwhile, the front is expected to sport a 6.67-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Rumors have hinted at the screen being curved on the front, and it likely houses an in-display fingerprint scanner for security.
Performance
Under the hood, the Vivo T4 Ultra might be equipped with MediaTek’s older flagship processor, which is the Dimensity 9300+. So we can expect high-end performance that would meet the needs of heavy smartphone users and gamers. A massive 5,500mAh battery pack may power this device, which is rumored to support 90W wired fast charging.
Thanks to the flagship chip, Vivo should ship the T4 Ultra with a bunch AI powered features like AI Image Studio, AI Eraser 2.0, and more. If all of these specs and the design seem familiar, then we might have already seen it under a different name. For those unaware, the Vivo T4 Ultra may be a rebranded version of the Vivo S20 Pro, which launched in China back in December 2024.
Camera
The Chinese brand’s teasers have shown that photography is one of the primary focuses with the T4 Ultra. Vivo aims to offer a great camera experience that includes “flagship-level zoom”. A typical mid range smartphone either skips a periscopic telephoto shooter or just offers a cutdown telephoto sensor. However, the Vivo T4 Ultra is set to feature a Sony IMX882 50MP periscope telephoto lens that supports OIS, macro shots, 3x optical zoom, and 100x digital zoom.
This camera is paired with a 50MP Sony IMX921 primary sensor with OIS support and possibly an 8MP Samsung JN1 sensor for ultra wide angle shots. To recall, the Sony IMX882 telephoto and IMX921 main cameras are high-end image sensors that have often been seen in flagship devices like the Vivo X200.
Launch Date
In the latest teaser, Vivo officially confirmed the launch date for the T4 Ultra. The device will make its global debut in the Indian market on 11th June 2025. Pricing details are still at large but the smartphone will be available for purchase via Flipkart.

A newly smuggled smartphone from North Korea has just offered us a glimpse at the unusual depth of the state’s control in its citizens’ daily life. This model is packed with restrictions and surveillance tools that are tailored to reinforce the government’s message. So let’s have a look.
A Peek at North Korea’s Bizarre Smartphone
The rare look at this smartphone from North Korea comes from a BBC video, which was originally acquired by Seoul’s Daily NK. This paints an unsettling picture of the lives of North Koreans under Kim Jong Un’s regime. Right from the get-go, you see a North Korean flag as you power up the smartphone. While no official branding is revealed, it is immediately clear that the device is highly customized to fit the rigid requirements of the government.
The smartphone comes with automatic censorship that can detect when certain words are being used. This even includes something as simple as “oppo”, which is a Korean term for older brother. But in South Korea, girls often use it to refer to their boyfriends. So this device changes the word to “comrade” and also shares a warning message. Taking things even further, you can’t even type “South Korea” since it can automatically be changed to “puppet state”.
The North Korean government routinely monitors these smartphones since the phone silently captures a screenshot every five minutes. These images are then stored in a hidden folder that users can’t access. But as one can surmise, the screenshots are likely being used to monitor the user’s daily activities.
