Foldable laptops aren’t as common as foldable smartphones, with ASUS and Huawei being among the few to offer such notebooks. However, in a surprising turn of events, Amazon might be the latest brand to join the ranks. The news arrives from known Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. In his latest tweet, Kuo stated that Apple’s competitors are currently working on large-sized foldable devices. But this isn’t limited to just Huawei with its new MateBook Fold Ultimate Design, but also Amazon.
The analyst claimed that Amazon is internally developing a similar product, but this has yet to go official. He further adds that “If development progresses as planned, it is projected to enter mass production in late 2026 or 2027.” In other words, the foldable laptop from Amazon isn’t too far off. Ming-Chi Kui also talked about how Apple’s 18.8-inch foldable device is expected to hit mass production by late 2027 or sometime in 2028.
Asus Zenbook 17 Fold OLED
By this time around, we can expect to find more foldable laptops to hit the market. These categories of PCs might even become a lot more mainstream in a few years. Keep in mind that this is still just speculation at this point so take this news with a pinch of salt for now and stick around for more.

Here is the HONOR 400 5G. You might have seen its twin brother, the 400 Lite, that one has a camera button at the side, which is the highlight of that phone. And there is also a Pro model, that one is at the top of this series, if you want to check out that one. For the 400 I have here, this one sits in the middle, but still has some highlights. There is the SnapDragon 7 Gen 3, good display, good cameras. So this one should perform well in the long run. now let’s look at it together in this review.
Design
First about the design, this version we have is a black colored. The back panel is a matte black glass, it is fine made and also does not attract finger print at all, certainly the grip is better even if you use it in the hot summer day for a long time. Then the frame is plastic, the finish is still good btw. The camera module, has carried over the design from the HONOR 300 series, not sure if the 300 was released in your region or not, but that phone was a good photography machine. So if you see the same design, it is a hint that the photo capability should be good, and we will talk about it soon in this review.
So on the front, it is a flat screen with a hole punch camera at the top. The bezels are very slim, although the bottom bezel is a bit thicker, but visually it does not make much difference in everyday use. I think there are at at least another two colors for this model, you may want to take a look at those.
Performance
About the performance, it has the SnapDragon 7 Gen 3, which is a typical mid-range chipset you can see on a lot of phones. I have been using this phone for a few days, and honestly, under some daily use scenarios, it performs fine and never encountered any hiccups. In case you want to game on it.
Camera
The camera setup is about a 200MP main camera, and a 12MP Ultra Wide camera, no telephoto lens. But before we talk about the physical performance of the cameras, let’s discover the AI feature of it.
There is AI image to video feature, if you take a photo of a person, if there is a certain gesture, the photo will be turned into a video. Like for this Lotso I took, you can see him moving like a movie. Awesome right? So if you get this phone, definitely try this feature.
The camera overall is very easy to use. There are different profiles to choose from, to suit your own style. I have taken the same subjects in different profile, what do you think about the style? There is also moving photo feature, which will take about 2 seconds of video, so it can be used for some social media Apps. There is also Google Lens integrated in the camera App, so you can search for things you want.
When it comes to photography, since it does not have a telephoto camera, the main camera is used for 1x 2x and even 4x. In regular photo shooting, the 1x and 2x can snap a good photo, but in 4x there is definitely some AI work on the image. It is not a bad thing, since it compensates the cropping.
At the portrait mode, it allows you to adjust the bokeh, from F1.2 to F16, so you can choose to have a plain portrait photo, or make the people more stands out.
When shooting videos, it supports up to 4K 30fps, the video quality overall are good in 1080P 60fps, and 4K 30fps. Only the stabilization lost a bit at the higher specs, but still a good performance.
The front camera also support up to 4k 30fps, and I am surprised to find that there is certain image stabilization on it. As you can see, when you move fast, there is good stabalization that even the iPhone does not have. So this could be good for Vlogging.
Daily Experience
So for daily use experience, it has been good. The fingerprint unlock area is a bit low to the bottom, can’t blame it, for such budget friendly phone. But the unlock speed is good, and it works even my finger is wet.
For the battery, it is 5300mAh, fairly big, for daily use, it can easily last for a day. And it supports 66W wired charging, and 5W reverse charging. It is a good feature, but unfortunately there isn’t a charger included in the package.
ebook mode
The peak brightness of the screen is 5000 nits, and the refresh rate can be 60Hz or 120Hz, or dynamic. Two things that are very interesting with the screen is the ebook mode, and video enhancer. In the ebook mode, your phone will turn into a gray screen, so if you want to read books, or you are tired of vivid colors and pictures, this mode can be very useful. There are two choices in the video enhancer, the super dynamic display and the vivid display. These two options will significantly make the videos brighter and more contrasty, and the experience is a lot better, and I am sure you can spot the difference here.
The SIM card tray can hold two SIM cards, but not TF card.
The only regret of the use experience is that, there isn’t a camera button on this phone. There is one on the 400 Lite, so I am not sure why.
Verdict
So this is the HONOR 400, a solid budget-friendly phone, that still packs a lot of useful features. I like the build quality of this phone, very simple but reliable. The screen is the same level as the flagships from HONOR, where you can definitely appreciate the use of it. The camera performance is also very good, day-to-day photography will be pleasant.
Samsung’s chip strategy for the Galaxy S26 series, set for early 2026, will echo its Galaxy S24 approach, using the Exynos 2600 for global S26 and S26+ variants and the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 for the S26 Ultra worldwide and all models in the US, Japan, South Korea, and China. The 8th generation foldables will also pack the 8 Elite 2, but there’s a twist.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra – S Pen
Samsung’s chip strategy for its upcoming flagships
The Galaxy S26 series chip plan revives Samsung’s dual-chip strategy after the Snapdragon-exclusive S25 series, driven by Exynos 2500’s yield issues. A recent report out of South Korea claims the Exynos 2600, built on Samsung’s 2nm SF2 node with GAA FET architecture, will power the S26 and S26+ (or S26 Edge) in regions like Europe and Asia, while the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, made on TSMC’s 3nm N3P node, will fuel the S26 Ultra globally and the entire lineup in key markets. This mirrors the S24’s split, where the S24 Ultra used Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 worldwide, but the S24 and S24+ had Exynos 2400 in most regions.
Notably, the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 “For Galaxy” will be manufactured using Samsung’s 2nm process, rather than TSMC’s. Qualcomm previously partnered with Samsung Foundry for the Snapdragon 888 and 8 Gen 1, but later returned to TSMC despite the higher costs—primarily due to performance and efficiency requirements. Will the 8th-generation foldables face similar issues as those earlier flagships? Only time will tell.
The Exynos 2600 and the 8 Elite 2 For Galaxy’s theoretical edge lies in its 2nm process, but TSMC’s N3P has historically outperformed Samsung’s nodes. Qualcomm’s dual-sourcing mainly aims to cut costs, as TSMC’s 3nm wafers are significantly pricier, reportedly priced at around $18,000 per wafer last year.

Google has launched Flow, an AI-driven tool that transforms text prompts into realistic movies, aiming to eliminate the need for actors, sets, or costly production. Available exclusively in the US, Flow empowers filmmakers to create cinematic content quickly, with plans starting at $19.99/month under Google AI Pro or $249.99/quarter for AI Ultra.
Unveiled on May 20, Google Flow aims to revolutionize filmmaking by leveraging AI to produce professional-grade movies from text inputs. Combining Google’s Veo for video generation, Imagen for high-quality images, and Gemini for prompt processing, Flow creates realistic scenes and action shots. Filmmakers start by crafting text prompts to generate scene visuals, refining them until satisfied. Additional prompts can then dictate actor movements, producing dynamic shots that maintain object consistency—ensuring characters’ appearances remain uniform across scenes.
Flow offers intuitive camera controls, allowing users to employ cinematography terms like pan, tilt, or dolly for precise virtual camera positioning. Scenes and prompts are organized for reuse, streamlining production. For inspiration, Flow TV provides a catalog of Veo-generated visual examples with detailed prompts, enabling rapid iteration of story ideas. Transitions between shots ensure a polished, professional look, rivaling traditional filmmaking.
Designed for creators of all levels, Flow’s subscription model—$19.99/month or $249.99/quarter—unlocks its full potential, though some professionals may prefer the Ultra plan for extended access. With a potential to democratize filmmaking, Flow could disrupt the industry, though some question its ability to match human nuance. As Google expands its AI portfolio, will Flow redefine cinematic storytelling, or remain a niche tool? Its impact will unfold as creators test its limits.
What was poised to be a landmark update from Samsung ended up being the talk of the town in the Android world for all the wrong reasons. Rollout delays, critical bugs, communication missteps, and whatnot, Samsung made many mistakes with One UI 7, but that has also overshadowed everything Samsung’s got right.
The One UI 7 software has left Samsung fans frustrated and questioning the company’s approach to future update rollouts. The next upgrade, One UI 8 (based on Android 16), is a crucial opportunity for Samsung to course-correct its missteps. However, time isn’t on its side — Android 16 is arriving much earlier than the usual timeline, giving Samsung less breathing room to get things right.
One UI 7 was a mess from the beginning
One UI 7 kept going the other way right from the beginning. After a delayed beta release in December 2024, it remained exclusive to the Galaxy S24 series for a long time, only to frustrate other Galaxy users waiting for their turn to early access One UI 7. There wasn’t even a clear timeline for the public rollout.
Samsung severely lacked clear communication throughout the ordeal. After nearly six months of Android 15’s release, the brand was ready for the One UI 7 stable rollout. However, the company quickly paused the rollout because of a critical bug. It was good that the pause didn’t last longer.
One UI 7
Samsung users were already pissed off with a significantly delayed rollout, and the software experience only made it worse. A lot of people are particularly unhappy with the splitting of the notifications and quick settings. It’s a nice optional feature, but it’s probably not a good move to make it the default option and change how people are used to interacting with it.
The Now Bar, though an exciting UI element, is positioned weirdly on many Galaxy models. One UI 7 also has too many design inconsistencies (see it here). People are also unhappy with the latest changes to the lock screen, app drawer design, and more functionalities.
People familiar with the ins and outs of One UI software would probably find their way around the UI changes but still can’t entirely fix Samsung’s missteps. Regular Samsung users might have difficulty settling their fingers onto the latest changes.
Ideally, they should, and it seems the company is already pushing for it. During The Android Show earlier this month (watch it on YouTube), Samsung VP and Head of Smartphone Planning, Minseok Kang, announced that One UI 8 will start rolling out this summer. Now, that can mean any time from June to September, but it’s good to see Samsung committing to a timeline.
According to reports, One UI 8 will not be a substantial upgrade, and that’s obvious, given how big of an upgrade its predecessor was. However, we are more interested in seeing Samsung fine-tuning its drastic changes for a better user experience.
The company is already developing One UI 8, as multiple internal builds have been spotted on the test server. So, things seem to be moving in the right direction. Hopefully, Samsung will be able to regain the trust and goodwill it lost with One UI 7 with a quicker rollout and sensible changes.
The Galaxy Watch 8 is Samsung’s next flagship smartwatch lineup, and one of its models has just leaked in a set of high-quality renders.
If you’re keeping score, Samsung’s “Classic” models have followed a loose two-year release rhythm. The Galaxy Watch 4 from 2021 had a Classic variant; the Watch 5 skipped it.
The Classic made a return with Watch 6 line but the Watch 7 skipped it again. Now, all signs point to the Classic making a comeback in the Galaxy Watch 8 series. And thanks to an exclusive leak from OnLeaks (via SammyGuru), we’ve got a clear look at it in crisp, high-res renders.
Here’s the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic in squircle design
The Galaxy Watch 8 Classic will have a squircle design like the Galaxy Watch Ultra. It will reportedly be available in a single 47mm size, which is a departure from previous generations.
For context, the Watch 4 Classic came in 42mm and 46mm options, while the Watch 6 Classic bumped it to 43mm and 47mm. The simplified sizing could be because Samsung now has a separate Ultra model in the pipeline.
Moreover, according to the leak, the Watch 8 Classic will pack a 1.5-inch display wrapped in a slightly thicker body. Dimensions clock in at 46mm x 46.5mm x 14.2mm. The renders also confirm the return of the rotating bezel, along with two buttons and an eye-catching orange crown.
Even with the chunkier frame, don’t expect a major battery upgrade. The Classic is tipped to get a minor boost from 425mAh to 435mAh, which, frankly, might not translate to much extra juice in daily use.
If Samsung sticks to its usual release cadence, we’re likely to see the full Galaxy Watch 8 lineup (including the Classic and a possible new Ultra) take the stage alongside the Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 at Unpacked in July.

In the past, OnePlus skipped the OnePlus 4 moniker and directly jumped from the OnePlus 3 series to the OnePlus 5 series. It was skipped because the number 4 is considered a bad omen in some Asian countries. Therefore, last year’s OnePlus 13 is expected to be replaced by the OnePlus 15 this year. Rumors have already started leaking key details of the OP15, with a recent report claiming that a major change could be the inclusion of a flat display that supports a 1.5K resolution. Now, in a new Weibo post, tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed key specifications of the OP15.
OnePlus 15 battery size, charging details tipped
OnePlus 15 leak by DCS
According to Digital Chat Station, the OnePlus 15 prototype is built around the SM8850 chip (Snapdragon 8 Elite 2: tentative name) and is positioned as a performance-centric flagship. Describing it as a performance-driven offering suggests that the primary focus will be on processing power and efficiency, which could mean the camera setup remains similar to the previous generation.
One of the standout design elements is a flat, large-size display with extremely slim bezels made possible by LIPO packaging technology. The front layout is said to achieve a neat and symmetrical appearance with this approach.
The device is expected to house a battery that starts with a “7”, suggesting a capacity in the 7,000mAh range. It could support 100W wired as well as wireless charging. Despite the larger battery and high-end components, the brand is said to be working on keeping the chassis slim and relatively lightweight.
DCS added that the device will also include a 0916 vibration motor for haptics, a single-point ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, and a fiberglass rear panel. In terms of durability, the OP15 will offer an IP68/IP69 rating for dust and water resistance.
The same source mentioned in a previous leak that the OnePlus 15 could feature a flat 6.78-inch LTPO panel with a 1.5K resolution — a major shift from the curved-edge 2K displays the brand has used since the OnePlus 7 Pro.
OnePlus 13
The OnePlus 15 is currently undergoing A/B testing for a triple 50-megapixel camera setup. The configuration includes a main sensor (with two versions being tested: standard and ultra-large), an ultra-wide lens, and a periscope telephoto camera with approximately 3x zoom. Periscope options being explored include both small and medium sensor types.
A China launch is likely in October 2025, with a global debut expected by January 2026.

Back in February, a leak suggested that the Redmi K80 Ultra would come with a battery larger than 7,000mAh. That report now seems to be accurate, as a certification listing has confirmed some key details.
Spotted by XpertPick, the upcoming K80 Ultra has surfaced on China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (CMIIT) database under the model number 25060RK16C.
According to the listing, the phone carries a typical battery capacity of 7270mAh. Given how phone makers tend to round up for marketing purposes, it’s reasonable to expect Xiaomi to promote this as a 7500mAh battery.

While Xiaomi hasn’t made anything official, leaks surrounding the K80 Ultra have painted a fairly complete picture. The phone is expected to feature a 6.8-inch LTPS OLED display with a 1.5K resolution.
Powering the device will likely be the Dimensity 9400 Plus chipset from MediaTek. And the 7500mAh cell will be paired with 100W wired charging. The camera setup may include a 50-megapixel triple camera array, and the chassis is rumored to have a metal middle frame.
The K80 Ultra is not launching in isolation. Competitors like iQOO, Realme, and OnePlus are also reportedly working on their own Dimensity 9400 Plus-powered devices.
Among them are the iQOO Neo 10S Pro, Realme Neo 7 Pro, and OnePlus Ace 5s—all expected to offer OLED displays with 1.5K resolution and batteries exceeding 7000mAh.
Xiaomi is gearing up to launch the Xiaomi 15s Pro and Pad 7 Ultra in China today. These will be the company’s first devices to feature its in-house XRING O1 silicon. With that out of the way, the Redmi K80 Ultra is now expected to launch as early as next month.
After teasing the arrival of the Realme Neo 7 Turbo for the past few weeks, Realme has finally revealed its design today. The brand released an image of the Neo 7 Turbo’s Transparent Gray variant via its Weibo handle to showcase its design for the first time. The device is confirmed to launch on May 29 in China.
According to the brand, the Transparent Gray edition of the Neo 7 Turbo features a nearly 1:1 representation of the phone’s internal layout, displayed beneath a clear rear panel. Realme has applied laser engraving and multi-texture craftsmanship to simulate the internal coil layout and structural components, giving it a distinct high-tech aesthetic. The NFC coil has been deliberately outlined for added visual impact, and a green section near the lens hints at a potential charging indicator.
Realme Neo 7 Turbo specifications (rumored)
Rumours suggest the Realme Neo 7 Turbo will feature a 1.5K flat display and a 7,000mAh battery with support for 100W wired charging. Powering the phone will be MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400e chipset.
The device is expected to come with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage, with configurations up to 16GB RAM and 1TB storage. It will come preinstalled with Realme UI 6-based Android 15. I
The camera setup might include a 50-megapixel Sony IMX882 sensor with OIS, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 50-megapixel telephoto camera. It’s also rumored that this device could be a global version of the upcoming Realme GT 7.
The device will rival the likes of the OnePlus Ace 5 Racing Edition (Dimensity 9400e), iQOO Z10 Turbo Pro (Snapdragon 8s Gen 4), and Redmi Turbo 4 Pro (Snapdragon 8s Gen 4) smartphones in the Chinese market. The device will be between 2,500 Yuan (~$340) and 3,000 Yuan (~$415).

The Galaxy S26 series was previously rumored to feature a revamped telephoto setup—either a combination of 3.5x and 8x lenses or a single 200MP telephoto capable of handling longer zoom ranges through digital cropping (thanks to its high resolution). Now, the latest update points to an upgrade for the base model’s main sensor as well: a new 50MP unit. But don’t get too excited just yet.
The Galaxy S26 will reportedly introduce a fresh ISOCELL GN series sensor, marking the first sensor refresh in three years. While specific details about this new sensor remain scarce, it’s expected to have larger pixels, leading to crisper photos and better low-light performance.
Why you shouldn’t get to excited
The sensor size in the ISOCELL GN series hasn’t seen much growth over the years. In fact, the GN3 and GN5 are noticeably smaller than the GN1 and GN2, which makes the idea of a new GN sensor with larger pixels seem unlikely.
GN1: 1/1.31″
GN2: 1/1.12″
GN3: 1/1.57″
GN5: 1/1.57″
GNK: 1/1.3″
GNJ: 1/1.56″

Interestingly, the source made no mention of a Plus model—further supporting an earlier rumor that the S26 Edge (likely to feature a 200MP sensor, like its predecessor) will replace the S26 Plus in Samsung’s upcoming lineup.
With an Exynos 2600 or Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset and One UI 8 on Android 16, the S26 possibly aims to balance incremental upgrades with competitive pricing. Will the new sensor elevate the S26’s photography to rival Chinese flagships? More leaks in the coming months will clarify its potential.
Hisense has launched two new Laser TVs in China: the Discovery X1 and the Discovery X1 Ultra. Both models are based on the L9Q TriChroma Laser projector that was first shown at CES 2025. The L9Q is already available for pre-order in the US at $5,999.99.
The Hisense Laser TV Discovery X1 comes in 92-inch and 100-inch sizes. It uses the MCL39 laser light source, which delivers up to 600 nits brightness. The 4K DLP projector supports 110 percent of the BT.2020 color space and includes IMAX Enhanced and Filmmaker Mode. It also features a built-in 7.1.2-channel Harman Kardon sound system with Dolby Atmos support.
The Discovery X1 Ultra is available in 100-inch and 120-inch sizes. Hisense plans to add 139-inch and 150-inch versions in China by September. The X1 Ultra uses the same MCL39 laser light source but offers higher brightness at 1,000 nits. It includes most of the same features as the regular X1 but has an upgraded 9.1.4-channel Harman Kardon sound system, also with Dolby Atmos.
Pricing & availability
In China, the Discovery X1 starts at CNY 21,999, which is about 3,051 US dollars. The Discovery X1 Ultra starts at CNY 49,999, or roughly 6,935 US dollars.
In other news, Hisense has launched the Vidda C3 Pro, a premium home theater laser projector priced at 9499 yuan (~$1,318) in China. It features the MCL39 tri-color laser light source with 2800 CVIA lumens of true brightness and a 14,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, supporting Dolby Vision and HDR10+.
Sony is discontinuing its PlayStation Stars loyalty program, launched in 2022, with point earning ending July 23, 2025, and the program going offline on November 2, 2026. While no replacement is confirmed, Sony plans to evolve its loyalty efforts.
Sony has announced the closure of PlayStation Stars, a rewards program that let players earn points through digital store purchases, trophy achievements, and campaign completions since its 2022 debut, per PlayStation Blog. Points could be redeemed for store credit or digital collectibles, with higher tiers unlocking perks. The program, available on PS5, PS4, and the PlayStation App, will stop accepting new members immediately, and cancellations forfeit all points with no rejoining option.
Players can earn points and rewards until July 23
Players can earn points and rewards until July 23, 2025, after which no new campaigns or rewards will be offered. The program will fully shut down on November 2, 2026, though earned points remain redeemable until then, and digital collectibles will stay accessible post-closure. Sony’s statement hints at future loyalty initiatives, with plans to “build upon key findings” from Stars, but no concrete replacement has been detailed.
The decision follows a turbulent history, including a month-long outage in 2024 after a glitch, and mixed fan reactions, with some on X like @PlayStationSize praising collectibles and others like @Genki_JPN criticizing limited rewards. Sony’s focus may shift to community activities, such as PSN events or PlayStation Plus enhancements.
With 55 million PS5 units sold by March 2025, Stars’ end could redirect resources to broader engagement, like PS6 loyalty programs. Will Sony’s next loyalty venture recapture Stars’ charm, or leave fans wanting? The coming years will tell.
