OnePlus 16 display could stop at 185Hz, bezels under 1mm

Tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS) is back with a fresh exclusive, and while the leaker did not name the phone directly, the details line up almost perfectly with everything we already know about the upcoming OnePlus 16. Connecting the dots is not hard here, since the chip, panel size, and supplier all match earlier reports.

OnePlus 16 leaks with sub-1mm bezel and 185Hz refresh rate 

According to the leak, a new phone built around the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro is currently doing the rounds in testing (mostly as engineering samples), and it is running at an 185Hz refresh rate. 

This alone is a strong hint, since we previously reported that the OnePlus 16 would use this very chip, and a later report revealed the same 185Hz figure as a starting point.

OnePlus 16 leak 1mm bezel

What is new this time is a word of caution from DCS. The tipster suggests that pushing refresh rates any higher, into the 200Hz range and beyond, could start to affect display quality and may simply not be practical. At least for the time being. 

This tempers earlier expectations around a possible 240Hz panel, suggesting 185Hz could end up being the number that actually ships, rather than just a floor.

The panel itself is said to be a 6.78-inch 1.5K display made by BOE, with upgrades to brightness, color gamut, and power efficiency over what came before. 

OnePlus 15

Perhaps the most interesting part of the claim is that the screen bezels will come in at under 1mm on all four sides. It will be the slimmest not only for OnePlus, but in the smartphone industry, if true. Meizu 22 currently has the slimmest bezel on a phone at 1.2mm. 

Here are earlier camera leaks and reports of a massive 9,000mAh battery, if you want to have a look. Nothing is official yet, and OnePlus has not confirmed a launch date, but the China debut is still expected sometime in the final quarter of 2026.

Vivo T5 Lite 5G tipped to pack Dimensity 6300, 6.74-inch 120Hz HD+ LCD display, IP65 ingress protection

Vivo looks like it’s getting ready to launch the T5 Lite 5G, which is shaping up to be a solid daily driver focused on good battery life, smooth scrolling, and reliable performance for everyday use.

According to leaks from XpertPick, the phone will feature a big 6.74-inch HD+ LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate and up to 1,200 nits brightness. That should make scrolling feel smooth and keep the screen visible even in brighter outdoor conditions.

Inside, it’s powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 6300 chipset, a decent 5G processor that should handle normal apps, light gaming, and multitasking without issues. You’ll have a few memory/storage options: 4GB+128GB, 6GB+128GB, and 6GB+256GB. The phone is reasonably slim at 8.39mm thick and weighs around 209g, which isn’t bad for a large-battery device.

One of the biggest highlights is the 6,500mAh battery, an upgrade over the 6,000mAh unit in last year’s T4 Lite, paired with 44W fast charging. That combo should easily give you all-day (or even multi-day) usage for typical tasks. On the back there’s a 50MP main camera, and up front an 8MP selfie camera. It also comes with IP65 dust and water resistance.

Design-wise, it’ll be available in two nice colors: Twilight Shadow and Ocean Blue. It keeps things simple and practical rather than flashy.

Overall, the T5 Lite 5G seems like a smart pick for students, first-time 5G buyers, or anyone who values long battery life and smooth display over premium features. Vivo’s T series has done well by focusing on real value, and this one tries to stand out with its high-refresh screen and massive battery in a segment where Redmi and Realme are also fighting hard.

We should see official pricing and full details soon as Vivo prepares to roll it out in international markets.

ASUS unveils desktop PC with 748 GB RAM, NVIDIA’s GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra superchip

Asus is pushing the boundaries with the new ExpertCenter Pro ET900N G3, a regular-looking tower PC that packs Nvidia’s powerful GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra desktop superchip inside. It’s designed for local AI development, model training, and inference, giving you data-center-level performance without needing an actual server room.

At first glance, it looks like a standard desktop tower (about 23.2 x 58.4 x 56.5 cm), something you could actually fit on a typical desk. But inside, it’s a beast. The system combines a Grace CPU with 72 Arm cores and a Blackwell Ultra GPU, delivering up to 20 petaFLOPS of AI performance.

One of the most impressive parts is the memory: it has a massive 748 GB of unified coherent memory (496 GB LPDDR5X for the CPU + 252 GB HBM3e for the GPU). This setup lets you work with really large AI models, even those approaching trillion-parameter scale, right on your desk.

It also comes with a hefty 1,600W power supply and strong cooling, so it can run at full power for long periods without slowing down. For expansion, you get three PCIe 5.0 slots, support for up to four M.2 2280 NVMe SSDs, and high-speed NVLink-C2C and ConnectX-8 networking. It ships with Ubuntu and Nvidia’s AI tools pre-loaded, with Windows support coming later. On the outside, the ports are practical, with eight USB 3.2 ports, one USB 2.0 port, and dual 10 Gbps Ethernet.

The ExpertCenter Pro ET900N G3 is now available in the US, starting at a hefty $99,999. It’s clearly aimed at researchers, developers, and companies working on generative AI, large language models, simulations, and autonomous systems. It’s basically bringing the spirit of Nvidia’s DGX Station to a more compact form.

This is a clear sign of the trend toward making high-end AI hardware more accessible at the desktop level. Yes, the price is steep, but for teams that need serious local compute power without the hassle of full server setups, this could be a game-changer.

What do you think? Crazy impressive or just too expensive for most people?

Redmi K90 Ultra set for June debut with focus on gaming and long battery life

Redmi has officially confirmed that the K90 Ultra will arrive later this month, adding a new option to its K90 series lineup. The company has positioned the device as a performance-focused smartphone aimed at gamers, while keeping pricing within reach of buyers looking for strong value.

Redmi K90 Ultra targets affordable gaming enthusiasts

Redmi K90 Ultra June launch confirmed

The announcement was shared by Xiaomi Group President Lu Weibing, who said the K90 Ultra is designed to carry forward the gaming-first approach introduced with the K90 Max. According to him, rising smartphone prices across the industry have reduced choices in the lower premium segment, and the new model is intended to keep high-end gaming performance accessible in the 3,000 Yuan (~$445) price band.

Leaked details from well-known tipster Digital Chat Station suggest the Redmi K90 Ultra could feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite-series processor paired with an advanced fan-based cooling system. The combination is expected to deliver sustained performance levels that could challenge devices powered by newer flagship chips. Reports also indicate that the phone may include a battery exceeding 8,000mAh, making it one of the largest batteries in its category.

The handset is expected to share several hardware elements with the K90 Max, Redmi’s first smartphone with an integrated cooling fan. That device was introduced earlier this year and focused heavily on maintaining stable performance during long gaming sessions.

Certification listings previously revealed a Redmi handset believed to be the K90 Ultra carrying support for 100W wired fast charging. While the company has not officially confirmed the specification, the combination of an 8,000mAh-plus battery and rapid charging could become a major selling point.

Industry sources suggest the K90 Ultra will sit below the K90 Max in Redmi’s portfolio. The K90 Max features the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset, a dedicated graphics chip and support for high refresh rate gaming. The K90 Ultra appears to take a different route by pairing a Snapdragon processor with aggressive cooling and a more competitive price strategy.

AOC has introduced a new 27-inch gaming monitor in China, the Q27G4SLM6/WS, which brings several higher-end display features to a lower price bracket. The monitor is currently listed on JD.com with a standard retail price of 2,099 yuan (about $310), though an introductory offer brings it down to 1,919 yuan (around $284).

AOC Q27G4SLM6-WS gaming monitor

AOC Q27G4SLM6/WS Specifications

The monitor features a Fast IPS panel equipped with a Mini LED backlight and Quantum Dot technology. It includes 1,152 independent local dimming zones that can be adjusted through a four-level dimming engine. The panel is VESA DisplayHDR 1000-certified, capable of reaching a peak HDR brightness of 1,200 nits while maintaining 700 nits typical in HDR and 450 nits in SDR.

The display utilizes TÜV-certified circular polarization to mimic natural light, alongside flicker-free and low-blue-light technologies.

Beyond raw speed, the color specs are robust for a gaming-focused display. The 10-bit panel (8-bit + FRC) covers 100% of sRGB, 99% of DCI-P3, and 98% of the Adobe RGB color spaces. AOC says the units are factory-calibrated to a Delta E average of less than 2 and include 12-axis color adjustment controls, making it a viable option for color-sensitive photo and video editing.

For connectivity, it features two HDMI 2.1 ports, a single DisplayPort 1.4 connection, and a standard 3.5mm audio jack. The HDMI 2.1 ports support the full 48Gbps FRL bandwidth, meaning the monitor can handle 4K 120Hz HDR transmission with Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) for current-generation consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.

It also supports Picture-in-Picture (PIP) and Picture-by-Picture (PBP) modes for dual-device setups. The included stand offers a full range of ergonomic adjustments, including 130mm of height travel, tilt, swivel, and 90-degree pivot, alongside standard 100 x 100 mm VESA mounting compatibility.

Casio launches vintage AQ230A-7DMQY watch with stainless steel band in the US

Casio has released the AQ230A-7DMQY in the United States. The watch, which is part of the company’s Vintage lineup, is priced at $59.95. While it is a new addition to the US market this month, this specific model has already been available for purchase in several international regions.

Casio AQ230A-7DMQY

Design Details

The AQ230A-7DMQY is an analog-digital hybrid watch. It features a rectangular resin case that is chrome-plated, measuring 38.8 millimeters long, 29.8 millimeters wide, and 8.1 millimeters thick. It weighs 47 grams. Casio categorizes the design as unisex, and the relatively small dimensions make it suitable for a variety of wrist sizes.

The watch comes with a stainless steel band equipped with a self-adjustable clasp, which allows the wearer to change the band length between 140 and 205 millimeters without needing specialized tools or a trip to a jeweler.

The watch face uses a dual-display format. The upper portion contains a traditional analog layout with two hands to indicate the hour and minute. The lower section, positioned at the six o’clock mark, features a small digital LCD panel. This digital display handles the watch’s secondary functions, most notably a dual-time feature that lets users track a second time zone alongside their local time.

Casio AQ230A-7DMQY

In addition to dual time, the digital panel provides access to a standard set of Casio features. This includes a 1/100-second stopwatch that measures elapsed time up to 59 minutes and 59.99 seconds. It also includes a daily alarm, an hourly time signal, and an auto-calendar.

For durability, the watch uses a resin glass crystal over the dial. It has a basic water resistance rating, meaning it can withstand minor splashes or rain, but it is not intended for swimming or showering. The watch is powered by a single SR920W battery, which provides an estimated three years of battery life before needing replacement.

OnePlus N6 launching on June 30 as brand’s first N series phone

OnePlus just announced it’s expanding in India with a fresh entry-level series. The first phone is the OnePlus N6, launching on June 30 in India. It’s aimed at younger buyers who want solid everyday performance without spending too much.

The phone is expected to sit in the ₹18,000 to ₹25,000 range, making it a proper budget/mid-range option. According to Ford, Vice President of OnePlus India, the N6 is specifically targeting Gen Z users. The idea is to connect through “sincerity and rapid storytelling” that matches how young people actually use their phones.

This N Series is a big shift for OnePlus in India. They’re now building a clear three-tier lineup:

  • N Series — Entry-level (₹18k–₹25k)
  • Nord Series — Mid-range (₹25k–₹50k)
  • Flagship series — Premium segment

The “N” stands for New, Neo, and Never Off, which hints at the phone’s focus on good battery life and staying usable throughout the day.

Design-wise, the N6 looks clean and modern with a flat back and flat frame. It’ll come in nice green and black colors. The back has a dual-camera setup in a square module, and the front features a flat display with a centered punch-hole and slightly thicker bezels (pretty normal for this price range).

Full specs are still under wraps, but the phone is expected to deliver strong battery endurance and smooth daily performance to live up to that “Never Off” promise. It will go on sale from June 30 on Amazon.in, the OnePlus India website, and offline stores.

It’ll be interesting to see how the new OnePlus N series stacks up against strong competitors like iQOO’s Z series and Samsung’s Galaxy A series in the sub-₹25,000 segment.

Lenovo launches affordable 32-inch 4K IPS monitor with 65W USB-C & KVM

Lenovo has expanded its monitor lineup in China with the Lecoo M3237PL, a new 31.5-inch 4K display that prioritizes workspace connectivity and color accuracy over high refresh rates. It is now listed on JD.com for 1,799 yuan ($266).

Lenovo Lecoo M3237PL monitor

Lenovo Lecoo M3237PL Specifications

The Lecoo M3237PL features a 31.5-inch IPS panel with a 4K Ultra HD resolution (3840 x 2160). Geared strictly toward productivity rather than PC gaming, Lenovo has equipped the monitor with a standard 60Hz refresh rate.

For color-sensitive work, the monitor features an 8-bit panel that covers 90% of the DCI-P3 color gamut. It also ships with a factory-calibrated Delta E value of less than 2. These specs make it a viable, entry-level option for photo editing, graphic design, and video production where consistent color reproduction is necessary.

The monitor’s I/O and connectivity options are what make it a capable workstation hub. It includes a USB-C port that handles data, video, and up to 65W of power delivery. This allows users to charge a compatible laptop and drive the display using a single cable. The USB-C connection also supports desktop modes from mobile devices, such as Samsung DeX, Smartisan TNT, and Huawei EMUI Desktop.

Lenovo Lecoo M3237PL monitor

Alongside the USB-C port, the monitor features DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI, a USB-B upstream port, and two USB-A 2.0 ports. These USB ports enable built-in KVM functionality, allowing you to control two different computers with a single mouse and keyboard. Lenovo also included Picture-in-Picture (PIP) and Picture-by-Picture (PBP) modes.

On the hardware side, the Lecoo M3237PL ships with a fully adjustable ergonomic stand. It supports 110mm of height adjustment, a -5 to 20-degree tilt, horizontal swivel, and a pivot function for vertical orientation. For those who prefer custom mounting, it includes a standard 100 x 100mm VESA interface.

The monitor also includes built-in dual 2W speakers that provide basic audio for system sounds or video calls, along with standard flicker-free and low blue light features to help reduce eye strain over long work sessions.

In related news, Asus has recently launched its 34-inch 360Hz Tandem QD-OLED gaming monitor in the U.S., while AOC has unveiled a new 2K 425Hz Fast IPS gaming monitor.

Ayaneo announces Pocket Micro 2 handheld console

Ayaneo has confirmed that a new retro handheld, the Pocket Micro 2, is on its way. The company described the device as a “second-generation powerhouse” and teased it with the slogan “REMAKE classic, full evolution.”

AyaNeo Pocket Micro 2 announcement

This isn’t the first time Ayaneo has built buzz around this lineup. We previously covered the original Ayaneo Pocket Micro and the Pocket DMG, which launched globally on the same day.

Both handhelds were designed to resemble classic Nintendo consoles like the GameBoy and GameBoy Micro while packing in modern internals.

What can you expect?

Ayaneo hasn’t revealed the official design or full spec sheet for the Pocket Micro 2 yet, but the first-generation model gives a good idea of what to expect as a baseline. 

The original Pocket Micro launched in July 2024 with a MediaTek Helio G99 processor, a 3.5-inch IPS true-color display, and a compact body roughly 63mm wide. It started at 1,299 yuan (around $180).

That first model also packed a 2,600mAh battery inside a minimalist, ergonomic shell with gently rounded edges and corners. Its four shoulder buttons used touch-sensitive technology, allowing them to be triggered from almost any position. 

The L1/R1 and L2/R2 buttons were separated by a divider, with the L2/R2 pair raised slightly higher and designed to be swappable.

Given Ayaneo’s track record of quickly following up its handhelds with new variants and limited editions, it’s likely the Pocket Micro 2 will refine this formula rather than reinvent it. We could see upgraded internals, a sharper display, or a redesigned control layout. 

Ayaneo is expected to share more details, including official specs, pricing, and images, in the coming weeks.

Baseus launches Spacemate RD1 Pro docking station with 15 ports, 160W output & Qi2 wireless charging

Baseus has officially released the Spacemate RD1 Pro, a 15-in-1 docking station initially teased at CES. It is a vertical desktop hub designed to consolidate peripheral connectivity and high-wattage charging into a single unit.

Baseus Spacemate RD1 Pro

Baseus Spacemate RD1 Pro Specifications

The Spacemate RD1 Pro utilizes a vertical tower design to minimize its footprint on a desk. It features 15 distinct connection points split between the front and back. The front panel includes two USB-C ports capable of up to 100W power delivery, two 5Gbps USB-A ports, and a retractable magnetic Qi2.2 wireless charging pad. This wireless charger sits on a three-level extendable stand with an 80-degree adjustable viewing angle, outputting up to 25W for compatible phones and accessories.

The rear I/O handles the bulk of the permanent desktop connections. It includes the full-featured host USB-C port (which provides 100W of power delivery to the connected laptop), two 10Gbps USB-C ports, an SD/TF 3.0 card reader, two standard 480Mbps USB-A ports for peripherals like mice and keyboards, a Gigabit Ethernet jack, and two HDMI ports.

Baseus Spacemate RD1 Pro

To support this array, Baseus bundles the dock with an 180W GaN power adapter, allowing the unit to sustain a total output of 160W across connected devices. It also features a front-facing smart display that provides real-time readouts on port usage, charging status, and power distribution.

Below the screen is a physical button that toggles the dock between two states: a Hybrid Mode that keeps all data and display connections active, and a Charging Mode that disables data transfer and external displays to prioritize maximum charging speed for connected devices.

Baseus Spacemate RD1 Pro

For external monitors, the dock can drive a single display at 4K resolution at 120Hz or dual 4K displays at 60Hz. As is common with many USB-C docks, there is a strict limitation for macOS users: because Apple does not support Multi-Stream Transport (MST) over this protocol, Mac laptops will only support mirrored displays (ABB) when using both HDMI ports.

Windows users, however, can fully utilize dual extended displays (ABC). Baseus also says the inclusion of an enterprise-grade retimer chip to maintain signal integrity for video and high-speed data.

REDMI K90 Ultra tipped to pair Snapdragon 8 Elite with active cooling to compete with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 flagships

According to the reliable Chinese tipster @DigitalChatStation, the Redmi K90 Ultra (model number M332BF) will pack Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset along with a built-in air cooling fan system. The idea is to deliver sustained performance comparable to flagships with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.

On top of that, it’s expected to come with a massive battery, rumored to be around 8,500mAh, paired with 100W wired fast charging. This is already confirmed through 3C certification.

This “Snapdragon + fan + huge battery” combo is getting really popular lately, and it makes a lot of sense for gamers who want real-world performance.

For some context, this phone sits just below the recently launched Redmi K90 Max (which came out in April 2026). The Max uses MediaTek’s latest Dimensity 9500 with its own active cooling system, AI graphics enhancement, and a similar giant battery for absolute peak performance.

The tipster made it clear there’s no overlap issue: the K90 Max is chasing the absolute top-end performance with the latest Dimensity chip, while the Ultra focuses on getting the most out of Qualcomm’s last-gen flagship silicon.

It might even be cheaper for Redmi to add the fan than to use the newest premium chipset. Either way, this approach should deliver strong, sustained performance at an attractive price — similar to what Honor did with their WIN/RT phones.

Other expected goodies include:

  • A 1.5K flat OLED display with a high refresh rate (possibly up to 165Hz for super smooth gameplay)
  • Dual stereo speakers
  • An ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner
  • Solid IP68/IP69 water and dust resistance

The K90 Max launched at around 3,499 yuan and sold well. The K90 Ultra is rumored to start even lower, which would make it a killer option for gamers and power users who want multi-day battery life and stable performance.

It feels like Redmi is really trying to bring active cooling, which used to be mostly limited to dedicated gaming phones, into more mainstream devices. If the leaks are accurate, the K90 Ultra could be one of those phones that just nails the balance of power, thermals, and value.

We’re still waiting on official full specs and the exact launch date (likely June or July 2026 in China).

DJI launches Osmo Pocket 4P as its first gimbal camera with two main cameras

DJI has officially introduced the Osmo Pocket 4P, its first pocket gimbal camera to feature two main cameras.

The launch comes just weeks after the company rolled out the standard Osmo Pocket 4 with a 1-inch sensor, 4K 240fps slow motion, and improved tracking, and builds directly on that foundation while adding a zoom upgrade.

DJI Osmo Pocket 4P Launch Specs Price

DJI Osmo Pocket 4P Specifications

As we mentioned before, the headline feature is the new dual-camera setup. The primary 1-inch wide-angle camera has a 20mm equivalent focal length and an f/2.0 aperture, and thanks to LOFIC technology, it can capture 17 stops of dynamic range. 

Alongside it sits a brand-new 60mm mid-telephoto lens with an f/1.8 aperture, offering 3x optical zoom and up to 12x total zoom for portraits and tighter framing that older Pocket models couldn’t handle well.

DJI Osmo Pocekt 4P Design

Both cameras support the new D-Log 2 color profile with 10-bit color depth. The Pocket 4P can also shoot 4K at up to 240fps for smooth cinematic slow motion and supports slow-shutter recording for light trails and motion blur effects.

Like the Osmo Pocket 4, the Pro model gets the same 3-axis mechanical gimbal treatment to keep footage steady while walking or tracking moving subjects. DJI has also upgraded its tracking software with Intelligent Follow 8.0, which adds multi-person tracking and subject-following zoom up to 12x.

For vloggers, there are real-time beauty adjustments including skin smoothing and tone warmth controls, plus six built-in film color presets. Pairing the camera with the DJI Mimo app unlocks further color grading presets and formulas.

On the hardware side, the Pocket 4P comes with 103GB of built-in storage, so recording without a memory card is possible. It supports USB 3.1 for transfers up to 800MB/s, and the battery is rated for up to 210 minutes with fast charging support. It also doubles as a webcam and supports Wi-Fi live streaming and web conferencing.

Price and Availability

The DJI Osmo Pocket 4P price starts at 3799 yuan (~ $561) for the standard package, which includes the camera, a fill light, a 1/4-inch grip, a storage bag, and a USB-C cable. 

The Vlog Kit costs 4299 yuan (~ $634) and adds a DJI Mic Mini 2 transmitter, a viewfinder remote, and a mini tripod. Pre-orders are open now in China, with global availability expected to follow.

The Best Gaming Phones You Can Buy in June 2026

Mobile gaming in 2026 has shifted its focus from peak speed to sustained survival. To combat the dimmed screens and dropped frames that plague standard smartphones during heavy sessions, manufacturers are bringing out the heavy artillery: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chips, massive 7,000mAh batteries, and advanced thermal management. Whether you prefer a dedicated gaming powerhouse or a traditional flagship that can hold its own, here is a look at the best gaming phones available globally in June 2026.

1. Red Magic 11S Pro

Red Magic 11S Pro

The Red Magic 11S Pro is designed specifically for users who prioritize long gaming sessions and want hardware built entirely around that experience. Red Magic has focused heavily on sustained performance with this model. While it runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Leading Version processor, its ability to maintain performance relies on the AquaCore Cooling System.

This setup combines a physical 24,000 RPM internal fan with a fluorinated liquid cooling loop. Through the transparent back panel, you can see the non-conductive coolant being moved by ceramic micropumps. It is a complex solution, but it effectively prevents the phone from throttling under heavy workloads.

To support the main processor, Red Magic includes a secondary RedCore R4 chip that handles audio, haptic feedback, and visual effects, freeing up resources for the game itself. The display is a 6.85-inch 1.5K OLED panel with a 144Hz refresh rate. Because the 16-megapixel front camera is hidden beneath the display, there is no hole-punch cutout to interrupt the screen.

Powering the device is a large 7,500mAh battery that supports 80W wireless and wired charging, and the phone includes 520Hz capacitive shoulder triggers for physical inputs. On the software side, it runs Red Magic OS 11.5, which now integrates Google Gemini AI for real-time translation and image searches.

2. OnePlus 15

OnePlus 15

Not everyone wants a phone with visible cooling fans and transparent back panels. The OnePlus 15 takes a different approach, offering high-end gaming capabilities inside a standard, premium smartphone design. It uses the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor and pairs it with up to 16GB of RAM, but its primary gaming advantage is the display.

The 6.78-inch AMOLED screen features a native 165Hz refresh rate that is specifically supported by games like Call of Duty: Mobile and Brawl Stars. It also includes a dedicated touch response chip that pushes the touch sampling rate to 3200Hz for quicker input recognition.

Instead of a physical fan, the OnePlus 15 manages heat using a large vapor chamber and an aerospace-derived aerogel insulation layer to keep the exterior comfortable to hold. It features a 7,300mAh Silicon NanoStack battery and supports bypass charging, which allows you to power the phone directly from the wall while gaming to reduce heat and preserve battery health.

Unlike most gaming-focused phones, the OnePlus 15 also delivers a highly capable camera system, featuring a 50MP main sensor and a 50MP periscope telephoto lens. It is also built to last, carrying IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K ratings for water and dust resistance.

3. Red Magic 11 Pro

If you want the core Red Magic experience but don’t need the overclocked processor of the new “S” variant, the Red Magic 11 Pro remains an incredible buy. Launched late last year, it still holds its own against anything released in 2026.

It features the standard Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor and can be configured with up to 24GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. The display remains the same 6.85-inch notchless OLED panel, providing an uninterrupted view of your games. To maintain frame rates during extended play, it also utilizes the AquaCore system, showcasing a visible, flowing liquid cooling loop through a transparent back, paired with a massive vapor chamber and a 24,000 RPM active cooling fan.

It also retains the 7,500mAh battery, the 520Hz shoulder triggers, and the dual stereo speakers found on the S-tier model. It is a highly capable device that focuses purely on the gaming experience without the extra experimental hardware.

4. Red Magic 11 Air

Red Magic 11 Air

Gaming phones are traditionally heavy and thick to accommodate larger batteries and cooling systems. The Red Magic 11 Air attempts to balance dedicated gaming features with a more manageable form factor. It is 12% thinner and 10% lighter than the standard 11 Pro, making it much easier to use as a daily driver.

Despite the smaller size, Red Magic managed to fit a physical 24,000 RPM cooling fan inside, which is a notable addition to the Air lineup. It uses the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and features a 6.85-inch 144Hz OLED display with ultra-narrow bezels. The battery is slightly smaller at 7,000mAh, but that is still larger than most standard smartphones on the market and a significant upgrade from the previous generation.

It also retains the physical shoulder triggers, which have been updated to support vertical games, and includes charge separation technology to keep the phone cool when plugged in. For software, it includes tools like a Tactical Coach for real-time guidance in popular multiplayer games, making it a well-rounded option for those who want gaming features in a slimmer profile.

Huawei will launch HarmonyOS-powered Desktop PCs this September

Huawei is making a serious push into enterprise computing with dedicated commercial versions of its HarmonyOS-powered desktop PCs. It’s a big step for the company’s homegrown operating system, moving well beyond phones and tablets into the business world, where many companies are looking for secure, independent alternatives.

HarmonyOS 7

At the recent Huawei Developer Conference (HDC 2026), during the “HarmonyOS Office” sub-forum, Zhu Dongdong, President of Huawei’s Terminal Tablet and PC Product Line, confirmed that the commercial HarmonyOS desktops will officially launch in September. He also mentioned that testing and trial runs for businesses should begin around July or August, giving companies a chance to try them out early.

Huawei has already launched two models for this push: the HM740 and HM940. These aren’t just regular consumer PCs running HarmonyOS. They’re specially modified for business use, with stronger security features and a dedicated security chip to meet enterprise standards for data protection and compliance.

Take the HM740, for example. It measures just 14.5mm in thickness and weighs only 1.32kg. Yet, it offers a solid battery life of up to 21 hours. On the surface, it includes a 14.2-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Huawei also added handy enterprise touches like digital dual-space separation to keep work and personal stuff apart. These machines are a natural extension of Huawei’s growing HarmonyOS ecosystem, which now spans phones, tablets, and PCs.

This move shows how serious Huawei is about expanding in the PC space. Shipments of HarmonyOS PCs are expected to grow nicely in 2026 as the company builds a full-stack, secure computing environment that doesn’t rely on traditional Western operating systems.

For businesses in China, and potentially other markets down the line, these commercial desktops offer a maturing alternative that puts security, customization, and ecosystem smoothness front and center. Full specs for the September launch models are still under wraps, but the announcement makes one thing clear: Huawei is determined to turn HarmonyOS into a complete platform.
