Samsung’s slimmest phone in years, the Galaxy S25 Edge, comes with a 3,900mAh battery. That might not sound like much, especially in 2025 when even mid-range phones are starting to ship with 6,000mAh cells.
But if that number didn’t impress you, the latest leak about Apple’s iPhone 17 Air might make things even more disappointing.
iPhone 17 Air will not even have a 3000mAh cell
A new report on Naver, citing sources within Apple’s supply chain, claims the iPhone 17 Air will be just 5.5mm thick. That’s incredibly slim, and it lives up to the rumored “Air” branding. The catch, however, is that it could come with only a 2,800mAh battery.
For a 2025 smartphone, that is tiny. Even the original Galaxy Z Flip from five years ago had a 3,300mAh battery, and it was a foldable. Meanwhile, Samsung has managed to fit a decent 3,900mAh cell into the ultra-slim Galaxy S25 Edge.
Apple iPhone 17 Air
There is a bit of good news. The leak suggests Apple might use high-density battery technology that could increase capacity by 15 to 20 percent. That might help, but we will have to see how it holds up in the real world.
The iPhone 17 Air is also expected to weigh just 145 grams, which makes it one of the lightest smartphones in its class.
In other aspects, the iPhone 17 Air will feature a 6.6-inch display with Dynamic Island and a Camera Control button. Apple is also expected to make a 120Hz refresh rate standard on all iPhone 17s. It is likely to be powered by an A19 chip, WiFi 7, and a more durable display glass.
The Air’s pricing is expected to be lower than the iPhone 17 Pro, which starts at $999. The iPhone 17 series, including the Air, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max, is anticipated for release in September or October 2025.

I’ve used a wide range of mechanical keyboards over the years, from entry-level gaming boards to heavily modded customs with soft gasket mounts and exotic switch lubes. The Varmilo Minilo 75 HE doesn’t aim to be part of either extreme. Instead, it tries to balance performance and utility in a clean 75% form factor using magnetic Hall effect switches. After using it daily for work and gaming over the past few weeks, I’ve found it capable in most areas, though not without its quirks.
What’s in the Box?
The Minilo 75 HE ships with most of what you’d expect: a USB-A to USB-C braided cable, a switch puller cum keycap puller, and extra keycaps for Mac layouts. There’s also a dust cover included. It’s a well-rounded set that doesn’t feel overly generous or too sparse.
Design and Build Quality
The first thing I noticed when unboxing the Minilo 75 HE was its size. It’s compact, but not cramped. The 75% layout manages to retain all the necessary keys without feeling too dense or too spread out. I’ve used other 75% boards that try to save space by aggressively shrinking the gap between clusters, but here, the spacing feels balanced. My fingers landed where I expected them to, even without looking.
I went with the Black version, which combines a dark plastic top shell with a subtle gunmetal grey inlay that frames the keyboard. It’s a simple visual, but it doesn’t feel cheap. The plastic has a smooth matte finish that resists fingerprints reasonably well, though the edges may pick up oil over time. There’s a soft Varmilo logo up front that glows with white backlight. Thankfully, it’s dim enough not to be distracting. I would’ve preferred no branding at all, but at least it doesn’t clash with the rest of the design.
The keyboard uses a tray mount structure with an aluminum plate inside, and that choice clearly influences both the feel and the acoustics. There’s no flex in the middle when typing, even under heavier presses. When I pick it up and try to twist the case, there’s a tiny bit of creaking from the plastic shell, but I noticed nothing during normal use.
The typing angle is preset but comfortable. The case has a gentle slope, sitting 37mm tall at the back and tapering down smoothly toward the front. There’s enough front height to give your wrists a natural drop, even without a wrist rest. While it includes two-stage adjustable feet, I did end up using them for a slightly steeper angle, though the default position was already quite usable.
Underneath, the rubber feet are wide and provide a decent grip on my desk. I didn’t experience any wobble, even during intense typing or gaming sessions. The overall weight of 0.85kg (about 1.87 pounds) is light enough to move around with one hand but heavy enough to keep it planted.
This isn’t the kind of keyboard you show off for flashy aesthetics or exotic case materials. But if you’re someone who values structure, consistency, and acoustic clarity without excessive modding, the build quality here feels intentional in a way that’s easy to appreciate over time.
Connectivity
The Minilo 75 HE is wired-only, which might be a dealbreaker for some. I usually prefer wireless or Bluetooth options for a cleaner desk and multi-device workflow, but this board is clearly focused on performance. The 8000Hz polling rate and 0.2ms latency wouldn’t be feasible wirelessly.
The USB-C port is on the top-left, slightly recessed. The keyboard worked out of the box on both Windows and macOS, and the included Mac keycaps were handy. I frequently switch between platforms, and it was nice not having to remap or tweak too much.
Switches and Features
I chose the Magnetic White switch variant for my Minilo 75 HE. It’s positioned as the more cost-effective option in Varmilo’s lineup of Hall effect linear switches.
Unlike traditional mechanical switches that rely on metal leaf contacts, these switches use magnetic fields and Hall sensors to detect movement. That means there’s no physical actuation point in the usual sense. Instead, the switch responds to the magnet’s proximity to the sensor. This design allows for adjustable actuation points and unlocks features like Rapid Trigger and Dynamic Keystroke (DKS), which I’ll get into in a moment.
The Magnetic White switches themselves are linear and smooth out of the box. They require around 40 grams of force to actuate and top out at 60 grams at the bottom. The actuation range is wide, from 0.3mm all the way to 3.8mm. I spent some time fine-tuning mine to register slightly earlier than average, around 1.2mm. It made typing feel snappier without being overly sensitive. There’s no scratchiness in travel, and I didn’t notice any wobble on the stem either.
Varmilo also offers other switch choices like the Gateron Magnetic Jade Pro and TTC King of Magnetic RGB, which offer even better actuation points and appear better suited for users who prioritize sound and feel. The White switches I’ve been using have held up well so far, and with a rated lifespan of 100 million keystrokes, durability hasn’t been a concern.
The keyboard offers some regular features commonly found on Hall Effect boards, like full N-key rollover and anti-ghosting. I never had issues with missed inputs, even during fast-paced gameplay.
Rapid Trigger was more noticeable. It resets the key as soon as I lift my finger, which made movement in games feel snappier. It’s subtle but effective, especially for fast games.
Dynamic Keystroke is more niche. I mapped different actions based on press depth, walk on a light press, run on a full one and even set up a few macros. It worked, but I didn’t stick with it for long.
SOCD cleaning is also built in, useful for fighting games with opposing directional inputs. I didn’t test it much, but it’s good to have.
Performance
Once I tuned the actuation and enabled Rapid Trigger on WASD and a few action keys, the board came alive. I’m not a pro gamer, but I play a lot of FPS and other games, and this board felt faster and more precise than anything I’d used recently.
That speed is likely thanks to the polling rate and low latency. I couldn’t measure exact figures, but the feel was undeniable, no input lag, no delays, just fast, accurate response.
The software includes preconfigured gaming presets like Valorant, so you can jump in without needing to fine-tune settings right away. In Valorant, I had better strafing control. In sports games like FIFA or NBA 2K, keystrokes felt responsive and predictable, especially during rapid directional shifts or fast-paced gameplay. For typing, the consistency made long writing sessions comfortable. No fatigue, no surprises.
What helped the most was how confidently the board handled under pressure. Even during intense gameplay, it stayed silent, tight, and predictable. The typing feel was solid. It didn’t have the soft bounce of a gasket mount, but it didn’t need to. It felt grounded and stable.
Software
Varmilo’s HE Driver software strikes a good balance. Installation was easy, and it recognized the board instantly. The dashboard shows a live layout and real-time actuation depths.
Tuning actuation is simple, click a key, slide a marker, and you’re done. The settings are saved onboard, so they persist even when switching devices.
The downside? The software is Windows-only. macOS users can’t make live changes without a PC. RGB controls are available but basic, and the LEDs aren’t very bright, which is typical for most Hall Effect keyboards.
You can also remap keys and set macros. Real-time feedback makes experimenting feel low-risk. I never worried about bricking the board.
Final Thoughts
The Varmilo Minilo 75 HE is a specialized keyboard that tries to blend performance-focused features with solid day-to-day usability. It handles gaming well, thanks to its magnetic Hall effect switches, adjustable actuation, and consistently low latency. It also holds up as a daily typing keyboard, with neutral acoustics, stable construction, and a layout that feels natural right away.
That said, this isn’t a keyboard that’s built for everyone. If you’re looking for wireless flexibility, Bluetooth support, or a broader range of compatible switch types, this HE model isn’t going to tick those boxes. RGB lighting is present, but it’s subtle and not a central feature.
However, if what you need is a high-performance, low-latency keyboard that prioritizes responsiveness and customization, especially for competitive gaming, the Minilo 75 HE makes a strong case. It’s not flashy, and it doesn’t try to be everything at once, but what it does, it does well.
For those who want a more well-rounded option with wireless and Bluetooth support, the standard Minilo 75 (non-HE version) is still available. That model trades out some of the extreme responsiveness of magnetic switches for broader usability across devices. But this HE variant? It’s clearly geared toward serious gamers or performance-focused users who are ready to take full advantage of software-based tuning and ultra-fast inputs.

Honor teased the arrival of the Honor X9b phone in February in India, but it hasn’t gone official yet. The last teaser of the phone came out on March 12 and the official ExploreHonor X account hasn’t posted anything new after April 22. These things and along a message that seemingly came from Explore Honor Team Admin suggested that the Explorer has ceased its operations in India. However, a new development coming from Honor India reveals that the brand is active and plans to launch new phones in the coming months.
Honor to launch four new phones in India soon
To recall, Honor unveiled the Honor 9A and 9S in July 2020 and after that it did not launch any new phone in India. However, it did not completely vanish from the Indian market as it continued to launch other products like wearables and tablets. Honor officially returned to India as Honor Tech India (Explore Honor) in August 2023, marked by the announcement of its relaunch under a licensing deal with PSAV Global, led by CEO Madhav Sheth. After its return, it launched the Honor 90 in September 2023.
However, recent developments suggested that brand once again stopped its operations in India. While Sheth is now associated with brand Alcatel as well as he is a founder and CEO of NxtQuantum Shift Technologies and plans to launch new phones under “NxtQuantum” branding, he is also associated with Honor. On April 8, he posted that “he met the Honor Team to align on new strategies and the road ahead” and later added that “Honor has received approvals for launching five products in India.”
It was exciting to meet with the Honor Team to align on new strategies and the road ahead.
As mentioned above, a supposed message from Explore Honor Team Admin that surfaced last week suggested that Honor has exited India once again. However, a recent X post states that, “Honor’s isn’t going anywhere or merging with any other brand.”
Readers should note that the above message is from Honor India, not Explore Honor. The brand has clarified that it remains fully committed to the Indian market, countering recent rumors of a potential exit. The speculation, which surfaced across media and social platforms, has been dismissed by CP Khandelwal, Brand Custodian for Honor India, who confirmed via X (formerly Twitter) that “Honor India is here – and thriving.”
He also revealed that the brand is preparing to launch four new smartphones soon. Honor emphasized that India continues to be a strategic market for its global expansion, with ongoing investments in innovation and product development. The company is actively operating in India and plans to strengthen its presence further. This statement reaffirms Honor’s intent to grow alongside Indian consumers and continue offering cutting-edge technology.

The Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) and Moto G 5G (2025) are excellent budget smartphones. They come with large screens, hefty 5,000mAh batteries, and capable chipsets that deliver smooth performance — all without breaking the bank. But which offers the best value for your money? Let’s dive into the comparison to find out.
Let’s begin with a spec sheet before we dig deeper:
Moto G Stylus 5G (2024)
Moto G 5G (2025)
Release
May 2024
Jan 2025
Dimensions Weight
162.6 x 74.8 x 8.3 mm 201 g
167.1 x 76.3 x 8.2 mm 193 g
Display
6.7″ P-OLED 1080 x 2400 pixels resolution 120Hz refresh rate
The Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) has a price tag of $299, down from its launch price of $399. The Moto G 5G (2025) saves you another $100, as it’s currently available for $199. The real question is if the 2024’s Moto G Stylus 5G justifies an additional $100 bucks, or is the latest Moto G 5G good to go? You’ll find it very soon as you go through the article.
Both smartphones are widely available across the US and Canada. The Moto G Stylus comes in two color options: Scarlet Wave and Caramel Latte, and the Moto G 5G (2025) comes in Forest Gray and Sapphire Blue options.
Both Motorola phones have flat screens with hole-punch-style selfie cameras, but the Moto G Stylus has more uniform bezels compared to the Moto G 5G (2025), which has noticeably thicker bezels at the bottom. Both phones, however, offer the same leather finish on the back, adding a premium touch and better grip than a traditional glass back.
Both Motorola phones feature large 6.7-inch screens with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, yet they have notable differences. The Moto G Stylus’ OLED screen produces more vibrant colors with greater color accuracy and clarity compared to the LCD panel on the Moto G 5G (2025). The higher 1080p resolution on the Moto G Stylus (versus 720p) further improves the viewing experience.
Camera
The 50MP primary camera on both Motorola phones captures nice, detailed shots when there’s enough light around. The Moto G Stylus 5G also does a good job with low-light shots using the 50MP primary sensor for its price. It produces detailed images with good exposure and colors with effective noise reduction.
On the other hand, the Moto G (2025) struggles with low-light images. The results are inconsistent with little details. You’d see blur and noise more often. It also has a 2MP macro camera with an underwhelming performance. The close-up shots are generally poor, lacking fine details. The Moto G (2025) also features a depth sensor, which is as good as nothing.
The 13MP ultrawide snapper on the Moto G Stylus 5G (2025) produces solid results in good lighting. The images have accurate colors, good dynamic range, and low noise. It also enables macro photography, which results in detailed images with good colors and sharpness.
The other side brings a 32MP selfie camera, which captures excellent shots for its price. The results have plenty of detail, accurate color representation, and natural skin tones. The camera also maintains a wide dynamic range. On the other hand, the Moto G 5G (2025) has a decent selfie camera performance with okay-ish color accuracy. The camera struggles to keep more than one subject in focus and often produces noisy and blurry shots in low-light environments.
Performance and software
The Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) has a Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 (4nm) at its heart, which offers higher performance and efficiency compared to the Dimensity 6300 (6nm) on the Moto G 5G (2025).
Take a look at the benchmark results below:

The Moto G Stylus 5G (2025) clearly outperforms the Moto G 5G (2025) across all benchmarks. In Geekbench 6, the Stylus model posts significantly higher scores in both single-core and multi-core performance, indicating snappier everyday performance and better multitasking.
The gap widens further in AnTuTu v10, where the Moto G Stylus 5G scores over 553,000, compared to just 382,000 on the Moto G 5G. It leads in all major categories—CPU, GPU, memory, and UX—making it the better choice for gaming, app loading, and overall responsiveness.
The 3DMark Extreme Stress Test results also favor the Stylus variant, with the best loop score of 612 versus 383 on the Moto G 5G, highlighting much stronger and more stable GPU performance under sustained load.
Battery, charging, and others
Both Motorola smartphones bring 5,000mAh batteries that easily give you enough power for a full day. On light usage, you can stretch into the next day.
The phones also bring the same 30W charging speed via a USB-C port. It usually takes around an hour and 15 minutes to reach 100%.
One feature that separates the two here is the 15W wireless charging support on the Stylus model. The other device lacks wireless charging.
Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) vs Moto G 5G (2025): Conclusion
At the end of the day, both the Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) and the Moto G 5G (2025) are solid picks for budget-conscious buyers — but they’re built for slightly different users. If you’re looking for the best possible performance, a vibrant OLED display, better cameras, and perks like wireless charging, the Stylus model easily justifies its $100 premium. It’s simply more refined in nearly every area.
On the other hand, if you’re tight on budget and just need a reliable phone for everyday tasks, calls, and casual browsing, the Moto G 5G (2025) gets the job done for $199. Just don’t expect the same performance or camera quality.
