Samsung is gearing up to launch the Galaxy F36, and ahead of the official announcement, the device has been spotted in the Google Play Console. The listing provides us with our first clear look at the design and reveals a few key specifications of the phone.
On the front, the Galaxy F36 features a waterdrop notch display. It’s certainly a dated design, but Samsung still prefers using it for some of its more affordable phones.
Here’s what the Galaxy F36 looks like
Around the back, it has a single pill-shaped main camera module where two of the sensors are nested inside another oval cutout, and a third one is placed separately below. The LED flash is positioned off to the right. Altogether, it sticks to Samsung’s typical layout for mid-range hardware.
The listing also confirms the screen has a resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels and a pixel density of 450 ppi. Under the hood, the Galaxy F36 is powered by the in-house Exynos 1380 SoC. It’s paired with 6GB of RAM, and the software side shows Android 15 running with Samsung’s One UI 7 on top.
This new appearance comes after the Galaxy F36 was spotted on Samsung India’s support site earlier this month, as well as on the Bluetooth SIG certification site. The device is expected to launch in India soon, possibly before the end of the month. As with other F-series phones, it’s likely to be sold via Flipkart, while its sibling, the Galaxy M36, could land on Amazon.
Interestingly, the Play Console and Google Play Supported Devices list point to the F36, M36, and a third model called the Galaxy Jump 4, all sharing the same internal codename, “m36k.” The Jump 4 was listed with model number SM-M366K, the M36 with SM-M366B, and the F36 with SM-E366B.
All signs suggest these are just regional rebrands of the same hardware, tailored for different markets. If Samsung sticks to its usual strategy, the F36 will be India-focused, the M36 will see a broader release, and the Jump 4 may stay confined to Korea or China.
We got an early glimpse of the Poco F7’s design last week via a hands-on image. Now, a fresh set of renders has appeared to give us a clearer, more complete look at the phone.
The overall design lines up with the previous leak. The Poco F7 has a vertical, pill-shaped camera module housing two lenses stacked vertically. What stands out visually are the two diagonal green accent lines crossing the camera island.
There likely is a special-edition Poco F7
Unlike the earlier leak, though, this version skips the dual-tone finish and the semi-transparent window that seems to reveal a Snapdragon chip underneath. That suggests the earlier unit might’ve been a special edition of the Poco F7. The latest leak shows us the device in a more standard black variant.
As for the specs, here’s what we know so far. The Poco F7 is expected to sport a 6.83-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 1280 x 2272 and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate.
Under the hood, it may be powered by Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip. This is likely to be paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 512GB or 1TB of storage. Camera hardware seems pretty typical for the mid-premium range—a 50MP main sensor with OIS, an 8MP ultrawide, and a 20MP selfie camera.
Poco F7 live image
Moreover, the F7 might ship with a hefty 6,550mAh cell with support for 90W fast charging. Interestingly, the Indian variant of the device is said to pack an even bigger 7550mAh cell with the same charging support.
There’s still no word from Poco on a launch date or regional availability, but given the pace of recent leaks, an official reveal feels right around the corner.

The monitor uses a high-precision sensor to detect changes in temperature (as small as 0.1°C) and humidity (1% RH). It refreshes data every 6 seconds and displays both values at the same time. Xiaomi recommends keeping indoor temperature between 19–27°C and humidity between 20–85% RH for best comfort.
It runs on a CR2450 button cell battery. In standard mode, battery life is up to 2 years. In save battery mode, it can last up to 3 years. Save battery mode can be enabled through the Xiaomi Home app (version 10.0 or later).
Users can connect the monitor to the Xiaomi Home app via a Bluetooth Mesh gateway (sold separately). Once connected, it can trigger smart devices like fans or humidifiers based on preset temperature and humidity limits.
The device stores data locally for 3 months and in the cloud for 6 months. In standard mode, it sends data to the gateway every 1 to 5 minutes. In save battery mode, updates happen every 3 to 13 minutes.
The monitor can be placed on a surface using the included stand or mounted on a wall using double-sided adhesive. It also shows comfort levels through small facial icons on the screen. It is made of ABS plastic, supports Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0, and works in the 0°C to 60°C temperature range and 0% RH to 99% RH humidity range.
Pricing & availability
There’s no confirmed global release date yet. In Germany, it is priced at €14.99.

The Dimensity 7300 offers a few notable upgrades in specific areas, such as connectivity and multitasking, but it doesn’t deliver the performance leap you might expect from a successor. So, if performance is your primary concern, the Dimensity 7200 remains the more capable and well-rounded chipset in this matchup.
ASUS has just unveiled the ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X, two new handheld gaming devices created in collaboration with Xbox. While they still run on Windows, these new consoles arrive with special optimizations that help them stand out. So, are these the true Xbox portables fans have been waiting for? Here’s what sets the ROG Xbox Ally series apart.
Getting the specs out of the way first, both models sport a 7-inch 1080p IPS LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate and Gorilla Glass Victus protection, offering solid visuals and durability. However, under the hood is where the differences emerge.
The ROG Xbox Ally is powered by the Ryzen Z2 APU (based on RDNA 2), paired with 16GB RAM, 512GB storage, and a 60Wh battery. It includes dual USB-C ports with DisplayPort 2.1 and USB 3.2 Gen 2 support. On the other hand, the ROG Xbox Ally X bumps things up with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme chip, 24GB RAM, 1TB storage, a beefier 80Wh battery, and USB 4.0/Thunderbolt 4 support. Both offer WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, and user-replaceable M.2 SSDs via microSD or internal storage upgrades.

2. Xbox Optimizations: Where it Truly Shines
The biggest leap isn’t in hardware, but software. Past Windows handhelds were kind of like tiny laptops trying to be consoles. Other gaming handhelds that ran on Windows had some drawbacks owing to the Windows design. Microsoft’s popular OS isn’t ideal for touch or gamepad navigation, struggling with scaling and UI optimizations. The constant Windows updates or new drivers occasionally lead to something breaking.
But what held these portable consoles the most were the issues with battery life and some performance hits. Some models faced excessive battery drains, while various Windows processes in the background took up memory or APU performance that impacts gaming.
On the other hand, the new ROG Xbox Ally series came with modifications that minimize the background activity, defer non-essential tasks, and dedicate more system resources to the games. A great example of the background Windows process is the desktop wallpaper, taskbar, and others, which took up 2GB of RAM before Xbox optimized the handheld consoles.
Now, ASUS’ ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X offer an Xbox full screen experience, despite not being dedicated Xbox consoles. There is even a dedicated Xbox button to bring up the Game Bar overlay that integrates the ASUS Armory Crate.
3. An Xbox Experience
While it’s technically not an Xbox OS, the Xbox Ally’s full-screen launcher and tight Xbox ecosystem integration. Pairing this with the Xbox Game Pass, Xbox Cloud Gaming, and controller-first design, the new ROG Xbox Ally series feels more like a genuine Xbox handheld. This helps bridge the gap between a Windows PC and a streamlined gaming console.

Xiaomi’s sub-brand Redmi today confirmed that the K80 Ultra smartphone will launch in China later this month. Shortly after the announcement, the device has now surfaced on the Geekbench benchmarking platform, revealing key performance metrics.
According to Geekbench, the K80 Ultra (model number 25060RK16C) is powered by an octa-core processor featuring a prime core clocked at 3.73GHz, three performance cores at 3.30GHz, and four efficiency cores at 2.40GHz. Graphics duties are handled by the Immortalis-G925 GPU.
Both the CPU and GPU setups suggest that the chip powering the Redmi K80 Ultra is the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 Plus. It’s a flagship chip, and the benchmark scores are accordingly.
In single-core performance, the K80 Ultra manages 2679 points, while its multi-core score hits 8358. The unit tested is paired with 16GB of RAM and runs on Android 15, likely skinned with Xiaomi’s HyperOS.
Rest of the specs
Aside from the chip, the phone has also received approval from China’s 3C authority. The listing reveals that it may ship with a 120W fast charger, though the device itself may cap out at 100W charging speed. The phone is said to house a 7500mAh battery, which no surprise, will be a silicon-carbon battery.
Other rumored specs include a 6.8-inch LTPS OLED panel with a 1.5K resolution and a 50MP triple camera setup. The build may also feature a metal middle frame with IP68 or IP69 dust and water resistance ratings.
As with earlier Ultra models, the K80 Ultra is expected to stay within the Chinese market. However, Xiaomi is likely to rebrand it for international markets, with the Xiaomi 15T Pro tipped to be its global counterpart sometime in Q3 2025.

Here we have the brand new HUAWEI Pura 80 Pro+, I am sure you still remember the Pura 70 Ultra which has a retractable lens. Well, on the Pura 80 series, it’s gone. But the new series comes with a ground-breaking lens structure inside, along with some new camera features. We are lucky enough to have it (China version) right after the launch event, now let’s take a first look.
Camera
We were invited to the launch event, where my colleague experienced the legendary Switchable Tele Lens, meaning “one sensor, with two focal length lenses” on the Pura 80 Ultra.
The telephoto cameras of this phone share the same sensor to achieve two different focal lengths, and the movable prism is the key to this technology. When using the 10x telephoto, it is the same as a normal periscope telephoto. When switching to the 3.7x camera, the prism moves to the second lens.
10x3.7x
There are many advantages to doing this, the most obvious of which is saving space inside the phone. Compared to other 4-lens phones, the camera module on this phone is a little smaller. The space saved can be used to fit a larger battery or a larger Vapor Chamber.
The second advantage is image quality. As you all know, Sony has achieved 85-170mm optical zoom on mobile phones, which changes the focal length by moving the lens back and forth. Although the principle of the Pura 80 Ultra is similar, the 3.7x to 10x is still digitally cropped. Because HUAWEI knows that the optical quality of a zoom lens is hard to match that of a fixed-focus lens, they chose to make two fixed-focus lenses instead of one zoom lens. The photo quality must be better.
In addition to the telephoto camera, there is also a new one-inch main sensor made in China, which is worth paying attention to. The retractable structure is cancelled, the variable aperture is still there, and the dynamic range is further improved. I am looking forward to using it for more photography creations, and I will definitely do a more detailed camera review after we buy the Pura 80 Ultra.
I have also listed the other camera specs in a table, all of which are world-class. Except for the camera part, other specs of the Pro+ and Ultra versions are almost the same. So… (Take out the phone) I borrowed the Pro+ from HUAWEI, and now let’s talk about the more affordable Pura 80 Pro+.
Design
The overall design of the Pura 80 series has not changed much compared to the 70 series. The camera module is still placed in the upper left corner, but it is a little bigger. The module isn’t in the way of the finger, which is a good thing. The frame is arc-shaped, so the phone is like a pebble with a screen.
The one we borrowed is the bright black version with a ceramic coating, so you can really use it as a mirror. One controversial thing is that the fingerprint recognition sensor has been moved from under the screen to the power button. Some people like it and some don’t. I am not sure what I think yet.
Although due to the limitations of HarmonyOS NEXT, we cannot know its specific processor model. But according to the data of GeekBench 6, it must be Kirin 9020 at least. Maybe it is the new Kirin 9030? I don’t know, we still need time to explore.
Screen & Others
The screen of Pura 80 Pro+ does not look changed, and it is also a popular four-curved screen recently. The maximum brightness has increased, and there are not many upgrades other than that.
The battery is definitely bigger, it is a 5700mAh battery plus 100W wired charging power, which is what a flagship phone should have. Of course, there are also features like 80W wireless charging and satellite communication. Anyway, you have spent $1,100, HUAWEI will embrace your requests.
Ending
It is obvious that the Pura 80 series has evolved again. The stronger screen and processor, the one-inch sensor made in China, and the two telephoto cameras of the Ultra version they’ve made everyone marvel at the talent of HUAWEI engineers. There are very few new technologies on mobile phones that can make people say WOW, and the debut of Pura 80 Ultra has made everyone excited.
OnePlus is getting ready to launch its next affordable audio product in India. The new OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z3 soon, which is a pair of neckband earphones. A new teaser has confirmed the launch date for these wireless earphones, so here’s everything we know so far.
OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z3: When does it launch?
The Chinese tech giant just announced that the OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z3 will be making its global debut in the Indian market on 19th June 2025 at 12 PM IST. This official teaser also revealed that the neckband wireless earphones will be sold in two color options, namely Mambo Midnight and Samba Sunset. OnePlus claims that the next gen Bullets Wireless Z3 brings improvements in sound quality thanks to AI and deeper bass.
OnePlus Bullet Wireless Z3 Neckband Earphones Launches Next Week
On a single full charge, the hearables can offer up to 36 hours of audio playback or around 21 hours of talk time. The wireless neckband earphones likely have physical buttons, track switching, support for voice assistants, and an IP rating for water and dust resistance. The older Bullets Wireless Z2 debuted for under 2,000 INR. In other words, we can expect the Bullets Wireless Z3 to carry a similar price tag, but there is likely a slight price bump.
As per official notes, the latest neckband earphones will go on sale on the brand’s official website, OnePlus Store app, OnePlus Exclusive stores, Amazon, Flipkart, and authorized retail partners. This is all the information we have at the moment, so stick around for more.
