Dell has officially joined the enterprise AI arms race with its latest mobile workstation, the Pro Max Plus. The standout feature—and really the only one the company is talking about—is its use of a discrete enterprise-grade NPU, a first in the category. That makes this laptop more about AI than anything else.
At the heart of the Pro Max Plus is the Qualcomm AI 100 PC Inference Card. Dell claims this makes it the “world’s first mobile workstation with an enterprise-grade discrete NPU.”
Dell Pro Max Plus is all about AI
The card carries 32 dedicated AI cores and 64GB of memory specifically allocated for AI workloads. The workstation probably has separate shared memory for other tasks. So, it’s the kind of configuration we’d normally see on server racks.
According to Dell, the Pro Max Plus can support large language models with up to 109 billion parameters. It’s clearly a device for AI enthusiasts and data scientists rather than general users. This probably explains why Dell hasn’t provided a price tag or full spec sheet yet.
Aside from the AI hardware, details are pretty scarce at the moment. There’s no word on the CPU, GPU, storage, or display. We will learn learn more when Dell launches the machine later this year.
Laptops with some form of discrete AI processing aren’t totally new. Microsoft launched the Surface Laptop Studio 2 with Intel’s Movidius VPU. But Dell’s approach is much more aggressive here, both in terms of hardware capability and intended use case.
There will be more Pro Max Plus models in the future, but Dell says not all of them will emphasize AI to this extent. This initial version seems to be the flagship for the AI-focused crowd.
No release date has been confirmed, and there’s no indication of how much it will cost. We will keep you posted with any new updates.

After the Nothing Phone (3a) series and the CMF Phone 2 Pro, Nothing is gearing up to unveil the Phone (3). This is the successor to its last flagship, bringing various improvements over its predecessors. Recent teasers have confirmed a bunch of its details, so here’s everything you need to know.
Carl Pei, the CEO and founder of Nothing, revealed a bunch of details regarding the Nothing Phone (3), particularly its design. The senior official stated that the Phone (3) will be a flagship smartphone that will employ “premium materials,” which might be hinting at either an advanced glass or a titanium frame. We can also expect it to continue the brand’s transparent design language that blends with the Glyph LED interface. Similar to the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro, the upcoming premium model could include a customizable Action button, which is clearly inspired by the newer iPhones.
On the front, the Nothing Phone (3) may sport a 6.5-inch AMOLED display. It is unclear whether there is a Phone (3) Pro model, but rumors have hinted at a taller 6.7-inch OLED panel. Unfortunately, finer details are still at large but we can expect it to offer 1.5K resolution, HDR support, and a high 120Hz refresh rate.
2. Hardware
Nothing Phone (1)
Apart from just the design, Carl Pei also talked about how there are “major performance upgrades” on the upcoming Nothing Phone (3). To recall, the last gen Phone (2) model launched with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC, which was a generation behind what other flagship phones offered at the time.
However, the brand plans on bringing cutting edge hardware, which could be either a Snapdragon 8 Elite, Dimensity 9400, or Dimensity 9400+ SoC. A recent report had claimed that the device will be powered by a flagship grade Snapdragon chipset. So it could also offer the Snapdragon 8 Elite or Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset. Battery details are still sketchy, but the 5,000mAh battery might be making a return once again.
For photography, the report also claimed that the rear camera system includes a “large primary sensor,” which is paired with a periscope telephoto shooter. Like its predecessor, we can also expect an ultra wide angle lens. This would make it in line with the Nothing Phone (3a) series, which also features a triple camera setup at the back.
3. Launch timeline and Pricing
An official launch date for the Nothing Phone (3)/ Phone (3) Pro is still unknown. But an official teaser has confirmed that the device is debuting sometime in July 2025. Carl Pei has also confirmed the US availability at the start of this month. However, one notable detail he confirmed is the pricing. The Nothing Phone (3) will be released for around 800 GBP, which translates to about 1,063 USD or 91,000 INR. This is a massive jump over the Phone (2), which was released for around half this price tag.

MediaTek has officially confirmed that it’s working on a 2 nm chip, expected to tape-out later this year. The announcement, made during the company’s keynote at Computex 2025, positions the Taiwanese chipmaker as a serious contender in the next big semiconductor transition after 3 nm.
With several smartphone chips already using 3 nm nodes, attention is now turning to the next leap in performance and efficiency. Apple is typically first to adopt leading-edge nodes from TSMC, but uncertainty surrounds its plans to adopt the 2nm node for upcoming iPhones. If Apple sticks with the refined 3 nm N3P node for its A20 chip due to production timing or cost concerns, MediaTek could become the first to bring a 2 nm smartphone SoC to market.
MediaTek confirms it’s 2 nm chip will tape-out in September 2025
At Computex, MediaTek said its 2 nm chip will tape-out in September 2025. In semiconductor development, tape-out refers to the final design being sent for manufacturing preparation. This timeline aligns with TSMC’s own plans — the foundry is expected to begin high-volume manufacturing for its N2 process in the second half of 2026.
While MediaTek didn’t confirm the name of the chip, it’s expected to be the Dimensity 9600 — the company’s next-gen flagship processor. There are no official details about the SoC yet, and it will likely remain under wraps for a while, given that it’s still over a year away from mass production.
Historically, MediaTek’s chips have been seen as cost-effective alternatives to Qualcomm’s flagship offerings. However, that may change with the Dimensity 9600. According to reports, TSMC’s N2 wafers are notoriously expensive. A rumored 10% price hike could push production costs even higher — potentially making the Dimensity 9600 one of MediaTek’s most premium and expensive offerings to date.
If all goes to plan, MediaTek’s 2 nm chip could arrive in late 2026, ushering in a new generation of high-performance Android smartphones.

Under the hood, it’s said to run on MediaTek’s Helio G100 Ultra chip, paired with Xiaomi’s HyperOS 2.1 skin. The chip should work adequately for everyday tasks, but don’t expect anything extra.
The rear camera is an 8MP single-lens shooter with an f/2.0 aperture, while a 5MP front-facing camera handles selfies and video calls. For audio, the Pad 2 is expected to pack four speakers with Dolby Atmos support.
Powering everything will be a 9,000mAh battery with support for 18W charging. Not the fastest, but acceptable given the segment. There’s also a 3.5mm headphone jack, which continues to be a rare but welcome inclusion in 2025.
The leak also spills the details on pricing. The base model with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage is expected to launch at €229. A more capable variant with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage will reportedly be priced at €279.

Colorful Technology has launched its latest flagship laptop series, the iGame Origo, featuring two new models — the iGame M15 Origo and iGame M16 Origo. These high-end laptops come after months of anticipation and follow the brand’s earlier ventures into portable computing. With their cutting-edge specifications, including high refresh rate displays and RTX 50-series GPUs, these laptops promise both power and portability — a rare balance in the gaming world.
iGame M15 and M16 Origo specifications
iGame Origo series
The iGame M16 Origo flaunts a 16-inch 2.5K OLED display (300Hz, 600 nits) on the i9 model and a 2.5K IPS panel (300Hz, 500 nits) on the i7 variant, both with a 16:10 aspect ratio and factory calibration. The design is sleek, measuring just 19.9mm thick and weighing 2.28 kg.

Qualcomm and MediaTek have largely owned the chipset shares for most of the Android devices. And they still do. But the plot is a little different this year.
Xiaomi recently made headlines with its self-developed XRING O1 chip. Now Lenovo appears to be following suit with its own in-house silicon, reportedly bound for its upcoming Yoga Pad Pro 14.5 tablet.
The chip is currently known as SS1101, and it has just made its way to the Geekbench benchmarking site, revealing its performance scores and architecture details.
Lenovo’s first custom chip shows up in tests
According to the benchmark listing, the Lenovo SS1101 is a 10-core SoC (yes, deca-core) built around a mix of Cortex-X3, Cortex-A715, and Cortex-A510 cores. It includes two Cortex-X3 cores clocked at 3.29GHz, three Cortex-A715 cores at 2.83GHz, another two A715s at 1.9GHz, and three Cortex-A510 efficiency cores running at 1.71GHz. On the graphics side, it’s paired with an Immortalis-G720 GPU.
From that configuration alone, it’s clear this isn’t a midrange chip. And the Geekbench results back that up. The SS1101 scored 2020 in single-core and 6588 in multi-core tests—figures that put it well within flagship territory. The test device also seems to have 16GB of RAM.
So far, Lenovo hasn’t made any official statement about the SS1101 or its plans for custom silicon. But if the previous leak is accurate, the Yoga Pad Pro 14.5 could be the testbed for the company’s first custom chip effort.
This is not the first time a tech brand has tried to take more control over its hardware stack, and this surely will not be the last. What’s great in this is that brands will have granular control over not just the chip but also software updates for it.
Software has been one of the pillars of Nothing phones, and the brand continues to improve upon it. It’s not just the software experience — the rollout, too, has been impressive. Take Android 15 for example: Nothing was quick with the rollout and wrapped it up well before many other brands. One might say Nothing has a small portfolio of devices. That’s true, but still the brand is doing an excellent job, particularly when you look at brands like Tecno and Infinix, who have been struggling with the same for years.
Android 15 is almost done and dusted as Google is gearing up for the Android 16 release, which is confirmed to be released in June. Unfortunately, Nothing didn’t participate in the beta program this year. That means users might have to wait a little longer to get early access to the latest OS. Worse yet, one of the Nothing phones won’t get Android 16 at all — and that’s none other than the company’s first phone, Nothing Phone (1).
The Nothing Phone (1) marked the brand’s entry into the smartphone market. It was launched in 2022 with Android 12 out of the box. Nothing promised to offer three generations of Android updates — and it delivered. The final one, Android 15, was released earlier this year, marking the end of road for major OS updates for the Phone (1). However, the phone will still receive security patches for some time.
So, as per the company’s update policy, the Nothing Phone (1) isn’t eligible for future OS updates, including Android 16. Should these users upgrade to a newer model? Technically yes — but it might be worth holding off for now. Wait until the Android 16 rollout is fully underway to see if Nothing decides to surprise us with one additional upgrade for its first smartphone.
OnePlus has officially confirmed that the OnePlus Ace 5 Ultra and Ace 5 Racing Edition performance-focused smartphones will be announced on May 27. Both devices will feature MediaTek’s latest Dimensity 9400-series chipsets. The announcement sheds light on OnePlus’ strategy to redefine smartphone gaming with deeper silicon-level customization and performance optimization.
OnePlus Ace 5 Ultra / Racing Edition to offer enhanced gaming experience
OnePlus Ace 5 series launch date-
According to the brand, the OnePlus Ace 5 Ultra and Ace 5 Racing Edition are built around a unique triple-chip gaming structure. At the heart is the MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ processor, paired with a dedicated X-Touch control chip and a specialized G1 e-sports Wi-Fi chip. Together, they form the industry’s first full-link hardware-level gaming architecture, engineered to deliver smoother gameplay with improved frame stability and lower power draw.
Optimization applied directly to the Dimensity platform allow this setup to achieve a 54.2 percent uplift in scheduling efficiency and a 38.3 percent reduction in core load. Power consumption across the system is also down by 10.3%, helping maintain consistent frame rates over long gaming sessions with lower heat build-up.
OnePlus Ace 5 series to feature triple-chip gaming structu
OnePlus claims the Ace 5 Ultra series can natively run top-tier mobile titles like Justice Mobile and large-scale open-world RPGs at 120 frames per second—even with 1.5K resolution enabled. This is powered by an exclusive Fengchi gaming core that delivers top-tier 1% low-frame performance, zero-lag interaction, and more accurate visuals.
Speculations are rife that the OnePlus Ace 5 Racing Edition has a 6.77-inch LTPS OLED 1.5K 144Hz panel and a 7,000mAh battery with 80W charging. On the other hand, the Ace 5 Ultra could be equipped with a slightly bigger 6.83-inch LTPS OLED 1.5K 144Hz screen and a 7,000mAh battery with 100W charging.
The OnePlus Ace 5 Ultra and Ace 5 Racing Edition are confirmed to feature the Dimensity 9400 Plus and Dimensity 9400e chipsets, respectively. Both smartphones are said to feature a 50-megapixel primary camera. For gamers and power users, OnePlus has added a customizable Magic Cube button for enhanced in-game controls.
