Google will use TSMC to build Tensor chips from Pixel 10 to Pixel 14

May 26, 2025

With the launch of the iQOO Neo 10, the company has expanded the Neo 10 lineup in the Indian market. Back in March 2025, the iQOO Neo 10R made its debut in India. So with both models being budget flagships, here’s everything different about these two devices.

iQOO Neo 10 vs iQOO Neo 10R: Design and Display

In terms of design, you can immediately tell that both devices are a part of the same family. They appear quite similar, with a distinct rounded square camera module at the back. But while the Neo 10 comes in Inferno Red and Titanium Chrome, the Neo 10R is available in MoonKnight Titanium and Raging Blue options.

On the front, the similarities appear once again as both models sport a tall 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate. The iQOO Neo 10 has a few advantages, including a 4320Hz PWM dimming and higher peak brightness of 5500 nits. Interestingly, the iQOO Neo 10R brings a faster 480Hz touch sampling rate over the Neo 10’s 360Hz touch sampling rate.

Performance

In terms of performance, the iQOO Neo 10 easily takes the lead thanks to Qualcomm’s newer and more powerful Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 SoC. The Neo 10R, on the other hand, packs the older Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC. The former also tops out at 16GB + 512GB, while the latter’s highest variant offers 12GB + 256GB only. Since the iQOO Neo 10 is a next gen processor, you get better performance and power efficiency overall. The Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 also brings a big update on graphical performance, making it a great chip for mobile gaming.

Battery & Charging

Even in terms of battery capacity and charging speeds, the Neo 10 has the advantage with a humongous 7,000mAh battery pack that supports 120W wired fast charging. The iQOO Neo 10R houses a smaller but still notable 6,400mAh cell, with support for slower 80W wired fast charging.

Pricing and Availability

As of right now, the iQOO Neo 10R sells in India for around 27,000 INR for the base 8GB + 128GB model. This makes it a great choice to consider for those looking for a gaming phone at a strict budget of under 30,000 INR. However, the new iQOO Neo 10 isn’t a lot more expensive as it starting from 31,999 INR for the 8GB + 128GB model. For a slightly higher price tag, you get a larger battery, faster charging, and a more advanced chipset that can handle gaming better.

Oppo Find X9 Ultra leaks with 200MP main and telephoto sensor

May 26, 2025

It has just been a month since the Oppo Find X8 Ultra came out, but its successor is already making headlines in the rumor mill. The latest headline is about the camera specs of the Find X9 Ultra, coming straight out of China.

The leak comes from Digital Chat Station, a tipster who is known for providing early information on upcoming phones. According to their most recent post, the Find X9 Ultra is currently in the prototype stage with some notable camera upgrades over its predecessor.

A 200MP telephoto?

The phone is said to include a 200-megapixel main camera with a large sensor, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera, another 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera (also with macro capabilities), and a second 50-megapixel “super periscope” sensor that’s rumored to support 10x optical zoom.

The leak also includes a reference to the model number SM8850, which lines up with Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chip. That tracks with earlier reports suggesting that while the standard Find X9, X9+, and X9 Pro will use MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500 and might show up in October, the Ultra model will come later (possibly in early 2026) and feature Qualcomm’s next-gen flagship chip.

Aside from the camera, the X9 Ultra is expected to have a 6.82-inch flat OLED display with a 2K+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. It’s also rumored to run ColorOS 16, based on Android 15. That software is expected to be officially announced sometime in Q3 this year.

No word yet on battery size or charging specs, but given Oppo’s recent releases, it probably won’t be anything too out of line. More details are likely to show up in the coming months.

This Galaxy S23 Ultra Survived Arctic Conditions: 5 Hours in a Freezing River

By

-

May 26, 2025

Your phone falling into the water is probably one of the biggest fears people used to have. But improved durability and protection have allowed smartphones to survive these momentary plunges in recent years. However, this one Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra managed to handle a lot more than a simple submersion after it faced arctic conditions.

Is the Galaxy S23 Ultra Arctic Proof?

The South Korean tech giant shared an interesting incident via the Samsung Newsroom. The story is from a Swedish professional wilderness guide, Mikael Krekula, who was testing out sonar equipment on the frozen Kalix River. But during these tests, his Galaxy S23 Ultra slipped from his gloved hands and fell into an ice fishing hole. The 2023 Samsung flagship was submerged in freezing ice-cold water and settled around three meters below the surface.

Mikael stated that “At that moment, I felt like I had donated my entire digital life to the river — photos, ID, credit cards and all my apps gone in an instant. It wasn’t just a phone to me. It was my work companion, essential in everything I do.” But thankfully, the Galaxy S23 Ultra managed to make a complete recovery despite facing such harsh conditions. A simple dip is understandable, but the device survived for around five hours.

He quickly launched a recovery mission and drilled eight surrounding ice holes to be able to reach his smartphone, and used a series of jerry-rigged tools (branches, shovel, and plastic bag). After getting a five hour ice bath, the Galaxy S23 Ultra managed to power on like nothing ever happened. To recall, the flagship phone features an IP68 rating that offers up to 1.5 meters of freshwater resistance for 30 minutes and dust proofing as well.

Here’s how to fix the Galaxy A56’s boot issue

By

Debasish

-

May 26, 2025

Samsung’s Galaxy A56 has hit a snag thanks to the May update, leaving some devices stuck on the boot screen. Thankfully, a user-discovered workaround offers a quick fix, sparing users from drastic measures.

The May 2025 update for the Galaxy A56 introduces Gemini Side button support, fixes known security issues, and is supposed to offer a smoother One UI experience overall. However, for some users, this update has caused a major hiccup: devices freezing on the “gears” loading screen, unable to boot fully. The issue, reported widely on forums like Reddit and Samsung Community, has sparked frustration among the affected A56 users, with their devices stuck in an endless initializing loop.

Here’s the fix:

However, the solution is quite simple: remove the SIM card, then restart the phone by holding the Volume Down and Power buttons until it reboots. Once the home screen appears, reinsert the SIM card. This method, confirmed by multiple users on Reddit and Samsung forums, has proven effective.

Though not an official solution, this workaround avoids the need for a factory reset, which would erase all data. Samsung has yet to acknowledge the issue formally, but a follow-up patch is likely in the works. For now, the SIM-removal trick is the go-to solution. If your A56 is stuck, try it and share your experience on social platforms.

Not every Galaxy A56 is affected, as many users report successful updates. Still, the boot issue is prevalent enough to raise concerns about the beta testing process and the overall stability of the package and upcoming builds. While this particular issue has an easy fix, not all update-related problems are as simple. That’s why it’s best to wait a week or two and check online if everything is stable before tapping ‘Download’ or ‘Restart now’.

Galaxy A57’s Exynos 1680 spotted

By

May 26, 2025

Samsung’s next mid-range, the Galaxy A57, is entering he conversation with the discovery of its rumored Exynos 1680 processor. Spotted by GalaxyClub, this chip promises to elevate performance, hinting at exciting upgrades for the 2026 release.

Samsung’s Galaxy A-series continues its annual refresh, with the Galaxy A57 set to succeed the A56, which debuted in 2025 with the Exynos 1580. A new leak from GalaxyClub reveals the A57’s likely processor, the Exynos 1680 (model S5E8865), marking Samsung’s next step in mid-range chip development. The Exynos 1680 is expected to feature the brand’s in-house Xclipse 550 GPU, potentially based on AMD’s RDNA 3.5 architecture. For those unfamiliar, RDNA 3.5 is a part of the upcoming Exynos 2500, which is rumored to power the Galaxy S26 and the Z Flip 7 in most markets.

While performance specifics of the Exynos 1680 remain under wraps, it should build on the A56’s Exynos 1580, which scored an average of 906K on AnTuTu with a tri-cluster CPU (1x Cortex-A720 at 2.9GHz, 3x Cortex-A720 at 2.6GHz, 4x Cortex-A520 at 1.95GHz), per NanoReview. Speculation suggests a 15-25% performance boost, with AnTuTu scores potentially hitting 1.1-1.2M and a GPU score of 300-350K.

Nonetheless, none of this is official, and it’s best to wait for benchmark listings, which are likely to surface as we get closer to launch. The Exynos 1680 is expected to retain the 4nm process but may adopt a 1+4+3 core configuration.

To recall, the Galaxy A56 brought a 6.7-inch 120Hz Super AMOLED, 50MP triple cameras, 45W charging, and a 5,000mAh battery. For the A57, expectations include a telephoto camera with 2x or 3x optical zoom to compete with brands like Vivo, and 4K 60fps video recording. With a rumored price of ₹45,990 (~$550) in India, the A57 will launch sometime in the first half of 2026.

Vivo T4 Ultra June launch tipped, to feature Dimensity 9300 Plus chip

By

-

May 26, 2025

The Vivo T4 and T4x phones have already launched in India and the brand is said to be working on two more T-series models, such as the T4 Ultra and T4 Lite. A new report claims that Vivo is preparing to introduce the Vivo T4 Ultra in India as early as June, aiming to set a new benchmark in the lineup. The new phone is said to bring significant performance upgrades and advanced features.

Vivo T4 Ultra key details revealed

Vivo-T3-Ultra-Design-Display — Vivo T3 Ultra

According to XpertPick, the Vivo T4 Ultra will come equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 9300 Plus chipset, which is capable of surpassing 2 million points on AnTuTu—marking a significant jump from its previous generation, which featured the Dimensity 9200+ chip. The device is also expected to run on FunTouch OS 15, featuring new AI enhancements like AI Image Studio, AI Erase 2.0, and Live Cutout.

To recall, last year’s Vivo T3 Ultra was based on the China-exclusive Vivo S19 Pro. While both shared similar specifications, the T3 Ultra did not include a telephoto camera, which was available on the S19 Pro. In line with this trend, it’s speculated that the upcoming Vivo T4 Ultra might be based on the Vivo S20 Pro, which was launched in December 2024 in China.

The Dimensity 9300+ powered S20 Pro features a 6.67-inch OLED display with 1.5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, a 5,500mAh battery with 90W fast charging, and a triple rear camera setup consisting of a 50-megapixel main OIS sensor, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide, and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera offering 3x optical zoom. Additionally, it sports a 50-megapixel front camera.

May 26, 2025

Poco’s upcoming F7 smartphone has appeared on multiple certification platforms in Asia, signaling its global launch is not too far off. After bagging the FCC certification earlier this month, the device has secured approvals in Thailand and Indonesia, confirming its readiness for market entry. Here’s everything that has surfaced about the Poco F7’s progress so far.

Poco F7 bags NBTC and SDPPI certifications

The Poco F7 has been listed on Thailand’s NBTC database under the model number 25053PC47G, confirming support for 5G connectivity. Simultaneously, it has been approved by the SDPPI certification authority in Indonesia. These regulatory green lights clear the path for the phone’s launch in both Southeast Asian markets.

Earlier this year, the Poco F7 Pro and Poco F7 Ultra, were introduced, and now this standard model is poised to join the lineup. Additional certifications have come from India’s BIS, Singapore’s IMDA, and Europe’s EEC, suggesting a broad global release is on the horizon. Rumors also suggest that the F7 is essentially a rebranded version of the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro, which debuted in China last month.

Poco F7 specifications (rumored)

According to reports, the Poco F7 will feature a 6.83-inch OLED LTPS display offering 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Powering the device could be the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset. Interestingly, battery capacities may vary by region — with the global variant expected to feature a 6,550mAh battery, while the Indian version may get a larger 7,550mAh unit. Both are likely to offer 90W charging speeds.

For imaging, the Poco F7 could feature a 20-megapixel front camera and a dual rear camera setup comprising a 50-megapixel main sensor and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide sensor. Other expected features include an IR blaster, dual speakers, an IP68/69-rated build, and HyperOS 2.0 based on Android 15. It is speculated that the device will go official in June.

A Super Affordable Entry-Level Phone: MEIZU Mblu 22 Pro Review

By

Sern Wen

-

May 26, 2025

In this article, we will review a Super Affordable Entry-Level Phone – MEIZU Mblu 22 Pro. Within limited discount offers, this phone can even be available for less than $80 – arguably the most budget-friendly device we’ve ever tested. These devices primarily target users with needs of essential daily functions, such as individuals who prefer straightforward technology or simply require a reliable backup.

Let’s approach the Mblu 22 Pro with appropriate expectations. By the end of this review, you’ll gain clear insight into the current evolution of entry-level smartphones.

Unboxing

Let’s examine the package contents: basic manuals, 18W charger, USB-C cable, transparent phone case, SIM eject tool, and a pre-applied screen protector. While our phone didn’t have the screen protector pre-applied, the official website specifies retail units include factory-installed protection – yours likely won’t require manual application.

Design

The Mblu 22 Pro’s design follows mainstream conventions. The circular camera module positioned centrally contains three lenses (details forthcoming). Available in three colors, the white and blue variants feature subtle concentric patterns on the back. From a distance, it could easily be mistaken for a premium device. With IP52 dust/water resistance certification, an all-plastic body, and specialized impact-resistant construction, reliability shouldn’t be a concern.

The top edge houses an increasingly rare 3.5mm headphone jack and speaker grille. While audio quality won’t impress audiophiles, the loud volume output proves ideal for elderly users.

The bottom contains the USB-C port and hybrid SIM tray (supports dual SIMs or SIM+microSD card). NFC and side-mounted fingerprint recognition are both present – functionally, the Mblu 22 Pro leaves little room for complaint.

By the way, the operating system on this phone is Flyme Lite. Compared to FlymeOS, the Lite version is closer to stock Android. So don’t expect too much from its system.

Display

The 6.79″ 720P LCD display won’t satisfy those accustomed to flagship-grade screens. But at $80, let’s maintain perspective. The inclusion of a 120Hz refresh rate deserves mention. As long as the screen functions properly (which it does), this specification remains acceptable for its price tier.

Performance & Battery

It is powered by MediaTek’s Helio G81 chipset (AnTuTu score ≈230,000), and it handles web browsing and TikTok smoothly. Video playback works adequately for SDR content.

The 5000mAh battery with 18W charging easily lasts a full day, given its non-gaming usage scenario. Considering the price point, MEIZU has maximized component value.

Camera

The Mblu 22 Pro features a 50MP main camera and a 2MP macro lens. Sample images below demonstrate its capabilities – at this price, capturing recognizable subject matter constitutes success.

Regarding the third camera: No functional information exists in the system interface or official documentation. Consider this module decorative until further notice.

Conclusion

Most tech enthusiasts won’t much covet this device, but the Mblu 22 Pro serves vital needs: calling, basic web browsing, and video playback with reliable software, most importantly, at a super affordable price tag. Its existence proves crucial for wide users who are concerned about budget and value for money. By delivering essential smartphone functions under $80, MEIZU is truly practicing universal access to mobile technology.

May 26, 2025

Google‘s highly anticipated Pixel 10 series has just surfaced in another report. This time, we get more information regarding the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL’s design, revealing new color options. So here’s everything that was leaked.

Google Pixel 10 Gets a new Limoncello

The latest info arrives from Mystic Leaks (Via AndroidAuthority) on Telegram. Reportedly, the Search Engine giant plans on releasing the Pixel 10 in four bright color options, which would include Obsidian (Black), Blue, Iris (Purple), and Limoncello (Yellow). The new yellow option is the new variant, which is inspired by the Italian lemon liqueur. For the higher end options, the Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL might come in Obsidian (Black), Sterling (Gray), Porcelain (White), and Green.

Pixel-10-render — Google Pixel 10 Leaked Renders

So unlike the base model, the more expensive variants come with more sober/standard colors. Keep in mind that this is still just an unconfirmed report, so take this news with a pinch of salt. Since the official launch is still a while away, Google could even make changes to the final marketing names for these colors. Just yesterday, the Google Pixel 10 Pro was spotted in the wild during a commercial shoot.

This is all the information we have at the moment, so stick around for more. In related news, the Google Pixel 10 lineup could get a display upgrade with PWM dimming and flicker reduction to make it easier on your eyes. Meanwhile, the Pixel 9 series is getting an attractive discount for Memorial Day. An older Pixel 8 model even managed to survive 4 days in a tub of hot water, so click here to read about that.

One UI update caught on camera cooking a green line on S21 FE

By

Debasish

-

May 26, 2025

A chilling video shared on Reddit captures a Samsung Galaxy S21 FE developing a green line on its AMOLED display mid-update, reigniting concerns about software-induced OLED defects. The incident, tied to One UI 6.1, highlights a costly issue plaguing Samsung users.

The Green Line issue, a persistent problem for AMOLED-equipped smartphones, has struck again, this time caught on camera. A Reddit user posted a video showing their Galaxy S21 FE developing a vertical green line during a One UI 6.1 update installation, released in April 2024. The user had avoided the update for a year, wary of widespread reports linking it to OLED defects across Samsung models like the S21 and S22 series.

The video reveals the update progressing smoothly until 60%, when a thin green line appeared, thickening as the installation continued. The user, who recorded the incident live, later shared images of the prominent line, a defect often rendering displays unusable. Seeking help, they approached Samsung Support, but the service center declined a free replacement, quoting ₹17,000 (~$200) for repairs—almost half the phone’s current price tag.

Samsung’s one-year warranty typically excludes such issues on older devices, leaving users with hefty repair bills. While Samsung has offered free screen replacements in some cases with proper escalation, many affected users face frustration. We hope smartphone makers take this issue seriously, and in the meantime, users are advised to wait at least a few weeks before installing the update.

Until the issue is addressed, users are advised to wait a few weeks and ensure everything is okay with the update package before installing it.

Apple could redesign the iPhone every year through 2027, leak claims

By

-

May 26, 2025

Apple is giving the iPhone lineup its biggest design makeover in years. The upcoming iPhone 17 series, especially the Pro models, is expected to feature a wider rear camera bump that stretches farther across the back of the phone.

The camera lenses will still be aligned on the left, but the LED flash, microphone, and LiDAR sensor could move to the right. There’s also some debate about whether the phones will have a dual-tone design on the back. Some leaks claim it’s happening, others say it’s not.

But this isn’t just a one-off redesign. After several years of playing it safe, Apple appears to be shifting gears starting in 2025.

According to a fresh leak out of China, the company is planning major design changes every year for at least the next three iPhone generations.

Punch-holes, under-display sensors, and the road to iPhone 19

Well-known tipster Digital Chat Station reaffirms reports of a camera module redesign in 2025 iPhones in their latest leak. Then, in 2026, Apple is reportedly turning its attention to the front of the phone.

The leak claims the iPhone 18 series will ditch the familiar pill-shaped module for the front camera and Face ID. It will be replaced by a cleaner punch-hole cutout for just the selfie camera.

And where does Face ID go? According to the leak, Apple’s long-rumored under-display Face ID tech could make its debut here, moving the entire system under the screen.

If that wasn’t ambitious enough, a bigger change might come in 2027. The iPhone 19 series is said to be Apple’s first true full-screen iPhone with no notch, no cutout. This means both the Face ID sensors and the selfie camera would sit under the display.

Rumors of a notchless iPhone have been around for a while, but this is the first time we’re hearing a clearer timeline. Of course, pulling off back-to-back design overhauls isn’t easy, even for Apple.

Under-display cameras still have a long way to go. Android brands like RedMagic have been experimenting with the tech for years, but image quality has yet to match what a traditional camera can do. So if Apple ships it in the iPhone 19, it’s possible there will still be trade-offs.

Android 16 update won’t reach these Motorola phones

May 26, 2025

Android 15 is almost done and dusted, as Google is gearing up for the new OS release — Android 16. It’s confirmed to be released in June for Google Pixels — much earlier than previous releases. Motorola should also be preparing for a quick release. However, many of its devices have already reached the end of the road and won’t be getting any OS updates, including Android 16.

With the Android 16 release approaching, you might want to confirm if your Motorola device will miss out on the upgrade. We’ve prepared a list below that includes the devices that are unlikely to get the Android 16 update.

Motorola phones that won’t get Android 16 update

Motorola has yet to confirm which of its devices will be upgraded to Android 16 and which will not. So, we had to rely on the existing software policy and a little bit of guesswork to make the list.

Motorola Edge series

Motorola Edge 40
Motorola Edge 40 Neo
Motorola Edge+ (2023)
Motorola Edge (2022)
Older Edge models

Motorola Razr series

Motorola Razr 2022
Motorola Razr
Older Razr models

Motorola Moto G series

Moto G Stylus 5G (2024)/G Stylus 5G (2023)
Moto G Power 5G (2024)/G Power 5G (2023)
Moto G (2024)/G (2023)
Moto G84/G82
Moto G73/G72/G71/G71s
Moto G64/G62/G60/G60s
Moto G54/G54 Power/G53/G52
Moto G45/G42/
Moto G34/G32
Moto G24/G24 Power/G23
Moto G15/G15 Power/G14/G13
Moto G05/G04/G04s
Moto G Play (2024)/G Play (2023)
Older Moto G models

Motorola Moto E series

Moto E32/E32s
Moto E22/E22i/E22s
Moto E13/E14/E15
Older Moto E models

Motorola tablets

Moto Tab G70
Moto Tab G62
Motorola Tab G20
Lenovo Moto Tab

These Motorola phones and tablets will unlikely get Android 16 and future OS releases. If yours is on the list, I recommend waiting until the official list is out before upgrading to a newer model.

Motorola’s current software update policy is a mess

Motorola has an inconsistent software update policy. Take the Edge 50 Pro and Edge 50 Neo, for example, which promises OS updates for five generations, but the newer Edge 60 models will only get three. Ideally, Motorola should offer longer software support on newer models or at least match the previous generation’s, but downgrading it is certainly not encouraging.

Even the premium Razr 2025 models, launched this year, only promise three OS updates. Things only get worse as you move to mid-range and cheaper models, with most of them maxing out at just two.

Worst of all, Motorola hasn’t even announced future update eligibility for many models — and no, that’s not only true for older models but also for newer models, including the Moto G15 and G15 power.

In 2025, where brands like Samsung are offering as many as six OS updates to mid-range phones and seven to flagships, Motorola maxing out on just three is a big disappointment. The brand should offer at least five OS updates to high-end phones and at least three to budget models — and most importantly, it should clearly announce how many OS updates each device is eligible for. Motorola phones are great, otherwise.

Why the MacBook Air M4 Is the Ideal Laptop for Almost Everyone

May 26, 2025

Apple’s latest 13-inch MacBook Air M4 might just be the most balanced laptop you can buy today. And with a limited-time deal bringing its price down to ₹86,990 in India ($849 in the US), it’s not just powerful and portable, it’s also starting to feel like a steal.

From college students and creative professionals to remote workers and everyday users, the new M4-powered Air checks nearly every box that matters.

Prev Next

1. Familiar Design, Smarter Insides

At first glance, not much has changed in terms of hardware aesthetics. The MacBook Air M4 carries over the same ultra-sleek chassis from its M2 and M3 predecessors, a remarkably thin and lightweight design that weighs just 2.7 pounds (1.2 kg) and measures 0.44 inches thick.

It still feels like the future, especially when you open the lid and see the vibrant 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display. Apple’s usual color suspects, Midnight, Silver, and Starlight, return, but this time there’s also a new Sky Blue option that shimmers beautifully under the light.

Underneath that familiar shell, though, everything gets a serious upgrade.

2. M4 Power and a Real Neural Leap

Apple’s M4 chip is the real reason this MacBook Air feels like a generational leap. The 10-core CPU, 8-core GPU, and 16-core Neural Engine combination turns this fanless machine into a shockingly capable productivity powerhouse.

Tasks like editing high-res photos in Lightroom, managing massive spreadsheets, and switching between dozens of browser tabs feel frictionless. Even casual video editing in Final Cut Pro hums along smoothly, which wasn’t always a given in older fanless MacBook Air models.

More impressively, Apple has built this machine with Apple Intelligence in mind. It’s not just a performance bump, it’s a signal of the AI-first future Apple is building toward. You’ll find on-device smart features like Mail Summaries, Clean Up in Photos, Genmoji, and Image Playground that lean on the Neural Engine for real-time inference, all while keeping your data private.

3. Display, Battery, and the Everyday Magic

There’s something deeply satisfying about working on a MacBook Air screen. The 13.6-inch display pushes 500 nits of brightness and covers the P3 wide color gamut. Whether you’re watching HDR content on Netflix or color grading your next YouTube upload, it just looks fantastic.

The new 12MP Center Stage camera makes a surprising difference on video calls too. Apple finally brought MacBook Pro-level camera quality to the Air.

Battery life is, again, excellent. Apple claims up to 18 hours of video playback and 15 hours of wireless web use. In real-world usage, it’s easily an all-day device. During testing, it handled a full workday of Slack, Zoom, Chrome, and Spotify without breaking a sweat or needing a charger.

4. The Right Ports and AI-Ready Features

The MacBook Air M4 still comes with two Thunderbolt 4 ports and MagSafe charging, and for the first time, supports dual external 6K displays. That’s a meaningful bump for power users and creatives who rely on multi-monitor setups. It also supports Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3, so it’s as future-proof as any ultraportable right now.

There’s no fan inside, yet thermal performance holds up admirably for a machine this size. And thanks to Apple’s tight hardware-software integration with macOS, everything feels snappy, fluid, and distinctly Mac.

5. The Deal That Seals It

What pushes this laptop into “no-brainer” territory is the current pricing. In India, it’s effectively ₹86,990 with a bank discount, down from its original ₹99,900. In the US, it’s now $849, which is a full $150 off the launch price. Even the higher-tier configurations, like the 512GB SSD and 24GB RAM variants, are seeing all-time low discounts.

Whether you’re upgrading from an Intel-based Mac or switching from Windows, the MacBook Air M4 now hits a rare sweet spot: high performance, premium design, ultra-long battery life, and future-ready AI features, all wrapped in a sub-₹90K or sub-$900 price point.

In a world where most laptops feel like they’re making trade-offs somewhere, the MacBook Air M4 quietly does everything right and it might be the best everyday laptop Apple has ever made.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 Geekbench listing reveals Exynos 2500 with 10-core CPU and 3.30GHz max speed

May 26, 2025

The upcoming Samsung foldable phones, such as the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip FE, have already appeared on the Geekbench benchmarking platform. Today, the Galaxy Z Flip 7, which bears the SM-F766U model number, has also surfaced on the same benchmarking platform, revealing that it is powered by the Exynos chipset.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 Geekbench listing

As per the Geekbench listing, the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 7 is powered by Samsung’s Exynos 2500 chipset, which is identified as the “s5e9955” model number in the motherboard field. The listing reveals that the Exynos 2500 is a 10-core CPU designed for efficiency and speed. This processor includes two cores clocked at 1.80 GHz, five at 2.36 GHz, two at 2.75 GHz, and a single high-performance core at 3.30 GHz.

Complementing the CPU is the Xclipse 950 GPU, 12GB of RAM, and Android 15. The device scored 2012 points in the single-core test and 7563 points in the multi-core test. The letter “U” in the model number suggests that the Galaxy Z Flip 7 variant that has emerged on Geekbench is the US variant.

In the past, when Samsung adopted a dual-chip strategy, it offered Snapdragon phones in markets like the US and China, while other markets were treated with the Exynos version. However, now that the Galaxy Z Flip 7’s US variant has appeared with an Exynos chip, it appears that the device may ship with the Exynos 2500 across all markets. At present, it is too early to draw a conclusion about the chipset that will power the Z Flip 7.

According to reports, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will feature a significantly larger 4-inch cover display, a notable design upgrade. The camera setup is expected to remain largely similar to its predecessor, with a 50-megapixel + 12-megapixel (ultra-wide) dual camera setup on the back and a 10-megapixel front camera, while the battery might see a bump to 4,300mAh.

Huawei’s next flagship phone might ditch Sony for a custom camera sensor

Huawei just wrapped up a major launch event in China, unveiling the Nova 14 series and its first foldable PC. But the spotlight may soon shift to the company’s next big release: the Pura 80 series.

According to multiple leaks, the lineup will likely include three models — the standard Pura 80, Pura 80 Pro, and a top-tier Pura 80 Ultra. Among the three, the Pro model is now said to feature a custom image sensor developed by Huawei itself.

Huawei Pura 80 Pro to use custom SmartSens sensor

A new report from reliable tipster Digital Chat Station claims the Pura 80 Pro will feature a custom image sensor developed by Huawei. Specifically, it may use the SmartSens SC5A0CS, a 50-megapixel, 1-inch RYYB sensor.

Huawei Pura 80 Pro with custom SmartSens SC5A0CS 50MP 1-inch sensor

This is in contrast with the tipster’s earlier claim. DCS previously hinted that the Pura 80 Pro would come with a Sony IMX989 sensor. And seems like Huawei was indeed testing the Sony sensor in the engineering machine of the Pura 80 Pro a couple of months ago. But DCS says the company has changed the course while finalizing the hardware.

If Huawei has only swapped out the main sensor, the rest of the rear camera setup may remain unchanged from previous leaks. It is said to have a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto macro camera. And reportedly, all three sensors will use a custom RYYB color filter, which enhances low-light performance by increasing light intake by up to 40 percent.

Beyond the camera hardware, the Pura 80 Pro is also rumored to feature a 6.78-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and support for LTPO variable refresh rate.

The Huawei Pura 80 series is expected to launch sometime in the second quarter of this year.

Xiaomi is preparing to launch a new Redmi gaming tablet by late June. The tablet is expected to debut alongside the Redmi K80 Ultra, which recently passed certifications in China and features a 7500mAh battery with 120W charging.

The upcoming Redmi gaming tablet will reportedly include bypass charging and a large battery, just like the K80 Ultra. Both devices are expected to be powered by MediaTek’s flagship Dimensity 9400+ chipset. Other confirmed features include an approximately 8-inch LCD display, dual speakers, and dual-axis motors. The tablet is rumored to be priced competitively, potentially undercutting Lenovo and RedMagic alternatives.

Earlier reports confirmed that Xiaomi is expanding its tablet lineup in 2025, with the Redmi gaming tablet as a key release. Tipster Digital Chat Station suggested a July or August timeline, aligning with Redmi’s previous flagship launch windows. The tablet may serve as a successor to the Redmi Pad Pro.

The device is said to feature an 8.8-inch LCD panel with a high refresh rate for smooth gaming visuals. Alongside the Dimensity 9400+, it will include dual X-axis linear motors for improved haptics, dual USB-C ports for flexible connectivity, and a dual-speaker setup for stereo audio.

A metal unibody build is expected, designed for both durability and portability during extended gaming sessions. The Redmi K80 Ultra, launching at the same time, will also include a 1.5K flat OLED screen, an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor, a metal mid-frame, and 100W fast charging.
