HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra & Pro Plus Hands-on: The Most Insane Telephoto Camera on Earth

Jun 13, 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.

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.

Pura 80 Pro+

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.

Kamingo E-Bike Converter Kit: So Compact, Powerful, with Modulization!

Jun 13, 2025

Kamingo

You may have a favorite bike for years, and you don’t want to exchange it for anything in this world. But you still want to save some energy while riding a bike, then an e-bike converter will be a good choice. So this is Kamingo, it claims to be the world’s smallest and most powerful e-bike converter. Just by looking at the key components, I do think it is very compact, the structure is sturdy and balanced. Now it is on Kickstarter. If you like it after this review, you can head to the Kickstarter link to know more.

Unboxing and Installation

The whole kit comes in this nice box, and there is a thoughtful Apple-like zip line at the side, so the box can be opened easily. Then everything is well packed and protected. Now from the opening, you already know what the components are, there is the Motor unit, the motor mount, the battery, the controller on the handlebar, and a sensor on the pedal bar. Along with the charger for the battery, a cable, and some screws. And since this set is still a working prototype, some of them may not look perfect, let’s just keep that in mind.

Putting everything on the bike is very straightforward, the motor mount on first, then the motor unit. There is a clever design here, lift the locks up, slide the motor unit in, then push the locks at the side in, done, very simple and time-saving. Next the battery, slide it in, easy. Then the sensor on the pedal, and the controller on the handlebar. Lastly, use the cable to connect the battery and the motor, one side of the cable is magnetic, it snaps on very easily, and it is strong! Ok all done, it does take around only 3 minutes to install everything! So this brings in the first highlight, the motor unit and the battery are separated, less pressure on the mount, so it won’t get loose easily, therefore, less chance the whole unit will fall off.

And with every mounting unit in place, you can just reinstall everything and start riding in 10 sec. This is the second highlight. While the battery was in the charging, I was surprised to find that, it can draw 134W of power, which is massive, and sure can get a full charge very fast.

Performance

The motor is called PMSM motor, it is known for high efficiency, a large power-to-size ratio, and the ability to generate torque at zero speed. It claims to be able to output 750W power max, and it can get up to very high speeds. But to fit into the local laws, the highest speed for let’s say the USA, is 20MPH, and 25KM/H for the EU UK Australia, etc.

There are three modes, the simplest one is the standby mode, which means, the roller will wind up and not interfere with your ride at all, this can even be done while you’re riding, which is indeed something new. And since the unit is very lightweight, at just 920g, it is very secure there. In fact, it is probably the smallest one in the market right now.

Then there is Assist mode, you pedal, the motor will support your ride with the strength you want. You pedal harder, the boost will be stronger, and the signal is from the sensor on the pedal. I think this mode is suitable for most occasions, and energy efficient. I found this mode very smooth, the feedback is very intuitive. Whenever I want to have some support on the slope, the power kicks in very quickly.

Or if you are tired, or your purpose of having this kit is to transform your bike, then the Cruise Mode is the best. It will just use the power to drive the bike forward, you can use the throttle to control the power, and it is also very intuitive. Although cruise mode is super cool, this function may not be available in some regions due to local restrictions.

The battery is 266Wh, with 21700 Li-on battery pack inside. It claims to be able to support 55 Miles or 90KM of assist mode. For me, it’s like a week of commute to work, very good capacity.

Overall experience

The overall riding experience is very good. Since we are living in the city, there aren’t many hills or slopes, but it is heavily populated, so it’s good to test the power output and smoothness. And I can say it is pretty good, whenever there is a speed bump, and I need to slow down, then pick the speed up, no matter if it is the Assist mode or the Cruise mode, the power support is always instant.

The whole kit can also fit on many kinds of bikes, either road bike, mountain bikes, or more. The company told us that they are making different types of motor to fit into different bikes.

I think it is very clever to design the battery like that, it is separated from the motor, and it can fully utilize the cup holder’s place. And you can put it in your backpack, whenever you are not riding the bike, for the safety reason, or charge it. And the battery pack is 1.4kg, not heavy at all. There is a port for charging your phone or something else. The charging time as we tested, it is about 3hrs.

The whole kit has a waterproof rating on them, mostly IP66, so you don’t need to worry about rain or anything.

Summary

So this is the Kamingo e-bike converter, it can turn your favorite bike into a battery-driven bike. The whole kit is so small, so powerful, and very easy to use and install. The best part I think, is the motor, it is very compact, and the build quality is also very good. This kit is a very good investment for many people, like daily commuters, elderly people, maybe food delivery men, and many more. So this product is in the kickstarter phase, and I think it has a lot of potential. If you are interested in it, there is the link below.

After launching the Vivo T4 Ultra 5G as a mid-range phone with some noteworthy premium specs, the company could be planning on shaking up the budget segment with another T4 series smartphone. A fresh leak has revealed the specs, pricing, and launch timeline for the Vivo T4 Lite 5G, which could make it one of the best budget phone for under 120 US Dollars.

Vivo T4 Lite 5G: Budget Phones Get More Competitive

According to an XpertPick report, the Chinese tech giant is gearing up to launch the Vivo T4 Lite 5G in the Indian market soon. Industry sources close to the matter claim that this model will be arriving in the region by the end of this month. In other words, its release is right around the corner, and teasers for this budget phone should be arriving soon. This model was previously spotted on the Bluetooth SIG certification.

The Vivo T4 Lite 5G will reportedly be the brand’s most affordable 5G smartphone with a massive 6,000mAh battery pack. Despite this big battery, the T4 Lite will feature a super thin design. Under the hood, this model could be equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 SoC. To recall, the Vivo T4 Lite is the direct successor to the Vivo T3 Lite, which was released in India for 10,499 INR.

So the upcoming Vivo T4 Lite 5G model could debut for around 10,000 INR as well. If this is true, the specs and features in the leak suggest that the T4 Lite might be one of the better budget phone offerings on the market. This is all the information we have at the moment, so stick around for more.

OnePlus Nord 5 and CE 5 may ditch 128GB storage entirely in favor of 256GB

Jun 13, 2025

The upcoming entries in the OnePlus Nord lineup, the Nord 5 and Nord CE 5, are once again in the news, this time due to a fresh leak revealing their storage configurations and color options.

According to the leak, both devices will start at 8GB of RAM and go up to 12GB. Interestingly, OnePlus appears to be eliminating the 128GB storage option altogether. Instead, both models are said to ship with 256GB of internal storage by default.

Alright, Next Nord phones are coming with standard 8GB and max 12GB RAM, 128GB Storage is not an option anymore for next oneplus phones, 256GB is only choice

Black, Blue, white assign to CE lite
Black white assigned to 5

25k to 35K is the bracket!

Big chips coming!
— Paras Guglani (@passionategeekz) June 12, 2025

In terms of design choices, color options will differ slightly between the models. The Nord CE 5 is said to come in black, blue, and white, while the Nord 5 will be limited to just black and white.

Pricing details aren’t confirmed, but the leak suggests a price bracket between ₹25,000 and ₹35,000. That keeps both phones squarely in the competitive mid-range category.

A rebranding strategy

Under the hood, both phones appear to be rebranded versions of existing OnePlus Ace models already available in China. The Nord 5 is said to be based on the OnePlus Ace 5 Ultra, featuring Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 3.

The Nord CE 5, meanwhile, will likely be a tweaked version of the OnePlus Ace 5 Racing Edition with a MediaTek Dimensity 8350 chipset. To note, the latter ships with Dimensity 9400e in China while the Ace 5 Ultra has Dimensity 9400+.

That said, the phones might have a similar battery capacity to their Chinese counterparts. The Nord CE 5 is tipped to come with a sizable 7100mAh battery, while the Nord 5 may feature either a 6700mAh or a 7000mAh cell.

Both phones are said to include flat panels and adopt minimal exterior designs, consistent with recent OnePlus design trends.

As of yet, OnePlus hasn’t confirmed a launch date for the new phones. But given the frequency of leaks, announcements may not be far off.

Samsung’s next flagship tablet Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra visits GeekBench with Dimensity 9400+

Jun 13, 2025

A new premium Samsung tablet has just been spotted online. Ahead of any official announcement, the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra has surfaced on a major benchmarking platform. This has revealed advanced specs of the upcoming flagship tablet, so here’s everything we know.

Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra Pops Up with Dimensity 9400+

The South Korean tech giant’s Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra was spotted on GeekBench, carrying the SM-X736B model number. Looking at the listing, we can see that the high end tablet is powered by MediaTek’s latest and greatest Dimensity 9400+ SoC. This flagship processor is paired with 12GB of RAM. Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra was also spotted running on the latest Android 16 OS out of the box.

Galaxy-Tab-S10-Ultra — Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra

To recall, the Dimensity 9400+ also arrives with 12 core Arm Immortalis-G925 GPU and MediaTek NPU 890. Despite having the cutting edge processor, the new Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra only achieved a single core test score of 1420 points and a multi core score of 5312 points. This is a lot slower than smartphone models that feature this same processor.

But rather than being a cut down version, the score is likely impacted due to the listing being for an early prototype model for this flagship tablet. As the name suggests, the new flagship Galaxy Tab is the direct successor to the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra. We can expect the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra to offer WiFi 7 support, Galaxy AI, and various other high end specs. Unfortunately, this is all the information available regarding this model, so stick around for more.

Jun 13, 2025

Vivo has released a couple of high-resolution images of the Vivo X Fold 5 foldable phone, which is set to launch on June 25 in China. Additionally, one of the posters shared by the brand mentions all the key features of the device that the company has officially confirmed so far. It also confirms that it packs the largest battery on a foldable phone. Here’s a look at the details shared by the brand.

Vivo X Fold 5’s officially confirmed details summarized

Vivo’s Vivo President of Product Huang Tao, claims that the Vivo X Fold 5 will break the Vivo X Fold 3’s record of being the world’s lightest foldable phone, which weighs 219 grams. Reports suggest that it will weigh around 209 grams. It will also be one of the slimmest foldable phones as per reports, its thickness will be 4.3mm and 9.3mm in the unfolded and folded states, respectively.

Under the hood, the X Fold 5 houses a 6,000mAh Blue Ocean battery, which is said to be the most efficient battery in any foldable. This is also the largest battery seen on a foldable phone. Vivo has integrated fourth-generation silicon-carbon anode technology with up to 12 percent silicon content, and it is the company’s first to adopt second-gen semi-solid-state battery tech, enabling it to function even at minus 30 degrees Celsius.

Dimensity 9500 benchmark scores revealed, Snapdragon 8 Elite 2-like performance tipped

Jun 13, 2025

Qualcomm and MediaTek are expected to unveil their flagship chipsets for next-generation flagship phones in September this year. While the US-based chip manufacturer is expected to announce the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 through its 2025 Snapdragon Summit, which will be held between Sept. 23 to 26, MediaTek is said to announce the Dimensity 9500 earlier than Qualcomm’s event. Yesterday, reliable tipster Digital Chat Station revealed the Geekbench scores of the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2; today, he is back with the benchmark scores of the D9500.

Dimensity 9500 Geekbench scores revealed

According to DCS, the Dimensity 9500 scores over 3,900 in single-core and exceeds 11,000 in multi-core tests on Geekbench 6. This is a significant leap from the Dimensity 9400’s 2,900+ and 9,200+ scores, respectively. The chip also features the new Immortalis-Drage GPU, which brings architectural changes for better ray tracing performance with reduced power draw. A previous report revealed that the D9500 is capable of achieving over 4 million score on AnTuTu benchmarks.

Recent reports have revealed that the Dimensity 9500 will be designed on TSMC’s N3P process, the third-generation 3nm node, offering enhanced power efficiency and improved performance. The CPU features a newly designed all-big-core layout with an 8-core structure: 1 Travis core, 3 Alto cores, and 4 Gelas cores. Both Travis and Alto are based on Arm’s new Cortex-X9 line, while Gelas cores come from the new Arm A7 series. This marks a clear departure from the Cortex-X4 cores used in the Dimensity 9400.

The Dimensity 9500 is also said to come with 16MB of L3 cache and 10MB of system-level cache to improve data throughput. It will support 4-channel LPDDR5x RAM at 10,667Mbps and UFS 4.1 storage via a 4-lane interface, making it suitable for demanding workloads like 8K video and multitasking.

Speculations are rife that the Vivo X300 series debuting in September will be the first to feature the Dimensity 9500. The Find X9 series launching in the same month will also pack the same chip.

Nothing Phone 3: Everything we know about it

By

Jun 13, 2025

The third major smartphone release from Nothing is just weeks away, and as expected, the pre-launch narrative is equal parts controlled leaks and calculated confusion.

The device is set to launch on July 1, but the shape, features, and positioning of Phone (3) still aren’t entirely clear. Depending on which leak or official teaser you read, it’s either a continuation of the brand’s affordable-premium formula or its first attempt at a proper flagship.

Nothing Phone 3 Roundup everything we know

Either way, this one isn’t just about specs. In typical Nothing fashion, a lot of attention is focused on design, interface minimalism, and maybe artificial intelligence in 2025. Here’s what we know all about Nothing Phone (3).

Prev Next

1. The Glyph interface is dead

For a brand that has leaned so heavily on design for differentiation, it was surprising when Nothing publicly claimed it has “killed” the Glyph interface.

These unique LED lighting strips have become synonymous with the brand, along with a transparent back panel. And they also doubled as notification indicators, charging status lights, and camera fill lighting.

However, Nothing seems to have realized that the Glyph interface has become more of a niche feature than a mainstream one. That’s likely why the company has now publicly confirmed that it’s killing the Glyph interface for the Phone (3).

Instead, the device may have a more customizable programmable LED panel, like on the Asus ROG Phone 9. Based on recent teasers, this could support not just basic glyph-like alerts, but potentially icons and animations as well.

2. Design

When it comes to design, the Phone (3) is a big departure from its predecessor. The full design recently surfaced in a leak with the expected transparent aesthetic. But there seem to be more changes than similarities.

Notably, there’s no Glyph interface, and the rear now features a trio of cameras arranged in a rather unconventional layout. It’s a bold, polarizing look at first glance—but whether users warm up to it is another question entirely.

3. Specifications

As for the specs, the Phone (3) is said to feature a 6.7-inch LTPO AMOLED display, likely with a 120Hz refresh rate. The camera setup reportedly includes a 50MP main sensor, along with ultrawide and telephoto lenses.

Performance is probably the most debated aspect of the upcoming device. Carl Pei, CEO of Nothing, has previously stated that the Phone (3) will be a flagship offering, so it’s natural to expect a Snapdragon 8-series processor, or possibly even a MediaTek Dimensity chip.

What’s interesting here is that Nothing has always prioritized delivering stable performance over chasing top-of-the-line specs. So, we wouldn’t be surprised to see the Phone (3) powered by a previous-generation flagship chip rather than the absolute newest one.

According to reports, all of this will be backed by a 5,000mAh battery, an upgrade from the 4,700mAh unit in the Phone (2). Charging capabilities are expected to include 50W wired and 20W wireless charging.

4. The Essential Key and Android 15

Software-wise, the device is expected to launch with Android 15 layered with Nothing OS 3.0 or 3.2, depending on final build timing. Pei has suggested this release of the OS will carry a “cleaner” look with AI integration baked into the experience.

Nothing calls its vision for AI “Essential Space,” a system-level interface that helps users manage screenshots, recordings, and context-aware tasks. The company is already experimenting with AI on its earbuds, using integrations like ChatGPT to provide voice-controlled assistants.

But as with much of what Nothing promises, the extent of AI’s practical value remains unclear. Until we see it in action, it’s hard to say whether this will be genuinely helpful or just surface-level branding.

5. Will the Phone (3) Really Be a Flagship?

If the early signs are anything to go by, the Nothing Phone (3) will continue the company’s core philosophy: minimalist design, functional aesthetics, and a deliberately pared-back software experience. But what’s less clear is how the company intends to define “flagship.”

At the higher end of the market, competition is fierce and increasingly defined by camera performance, AI integration, display quality, and long-term software support.

While Nothing’s design is distinctive, the absence of confirmed high-end features like a telephoto lens, variable refresh rates above 120Hz, or real-time AI photo processing could keep it a step below true flagships from Samsung, OnePlus, or Apple.

6. Pricing and Availability

The Phone (3) is set to debut on July 1, 2025, just ahead of Samsung’s summer Galaxy Unpacked event. As for the price, the base 12GB RAM and 256GB storage model of the Phone (3) is reportedly priced at $799 (approximately Rs 68,320).

This is basically a $100 (around Rs 5,560) price hike compared to the same variant of the Nothing Phone 2. Whereas, the higher-end 16/512GB model will cost $899 or some Rs 77,500. Last but not least, the Phone (3) will be available in Black or White color options.

Galaxy Z Fold 7 camera upgrades? It won’t just capture — it will understand

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is just around the corner and will be the thinnest foldable Samsung has ever made. Marketed as an “ultra” foldable, Samsung is now teasing the imaging capabilities of the phone. But don’t expect megapixel headlines just yet — official sensor specs are still under wraps.

Instead, Samsung is focusing heavily on AI-powered image processing for the Z Fold 7. The brand has recently shifted more attention toward Galaxy AI than traditional hardware upgrades to improve the overall user experience — and the same approach seems to apply to its latest foldable’s camera system.

“More than just a tool for capturing images, coupled with enhanced AI-powered features, the Galaxy camera is now part of the intuitive interface that turns what users see into understanding and action,” says Samsung.

While the brand hasn’t explained exactly how these AI features will work, its language suggests something similar to “Real-Time Visual AI,” previously announced and powered by Gemini. Essentially, your phone camera won’t just capture — it will understand.

As for hardware, a recently leaked image hinted at a 200MP main sensor for the Z Fold 7. However, Samsung’s latest teaser suggests the other lenses — ultrawide, telephoto, and selfie — may remain unchanged. That wouldn’t be surprising, given that Samsung took a similar route with the last two Galaxy S-series flagships, pushing AI integration further while keeping sensor specs largely the same.

With Android 16-based One UI 8 expected on board, we anticipate more teasers to be unveiled about this Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered foldable as we inch closer to the launch.

Samsung targets higher yields on 2nm Exynos 2600, prototype phase in full swing

By

Jun 12, 2025

Samsung is racing to bring its 2nm chipmaking tech to primetime. According to a Korean report, the company’s System LSI and Foundry divisions are now in full prototype production of the Exynos 2600, the next-generation mobile processor expected to power the Galaxy S26 early next year. More importantly, its notoriously tricky 2nm Gate-All-Around (GAA) process is finally starting to yield results, quite literally.

Earlier this year, Samsung’s 2nm yields hovered around a worrying 30%. But after months of aggressive R&D, the company is now targeting yields above 50% without compromising performance.

That’s a critical step, though still short of the 70% threshold typically required for cost-effective mass production. The clock is ticking: Samsung needs to lock in stable yields fast if it wants to avoid the production delays that dogged the Exynos 2500.

Risk production of the Exynos 2600 is slated to begin by year’s end, following the current full prototype production phase that is helping Samsung refine both performance and yield. This stage serves as a critical proving ground before mass production ramps up just two or three months ahead of the Galaxy S26’s February launch. The stakes are high.

For Samsung’s System LSI unit, the Exynos 2600 represents a shot at revitalizing the Exynos brand after years of reliance on Qualcomm chips. For Samsung Foundry, it is the first real-world showcase of its 2nm GAA technology, with global clients watching closely.

Rumors suggest Samsung is also courting Qualcomm to fab Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chips for Galaxy phones using its 2nm process, though nothing is confirmed. Meanwhile, TSMC already started taking 2nm wafer orders in April, adding urgency to Samsung’s efforts.

If Samsung can nail this transition, it could finally shake its reputation for lagging behind TSMC at the bleeding edge of chip manufacturing. For now, all eyes are on how Exynos 2600 performs on the path to mass production.

In related news, Samsung’s System LSI unit is facing a major shake-up after years of losses. The company is considering whether to merge it with Foundry, fold it into the MX division, or pursue an independent overhaul. Merging with Foundry seems the most likely path, though it could unsettle key clients. The review was prompted by the Exynos 2500’s failure to secure a Galaxy S25 slot, which impacted both LSI and Foundry revenues. The final decision is expected soon.
