In December 2024, Honor launched the Honor GT, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Shortly after its debut, rumours began circulating that the brand would unveil the Honor GT Pro by mid-2025 in China. Since then, Honor GT series product manager Charlie Du has consistently shared key details about the upcoming GT Pro. Here’s everything revealed so far.
Honor GT Pro’s key specifications confirmed
Honor GT Pro display
An image shared by Charlie confirms that the Honor GT Pro will feature a flat display. A more recent Weibo post (shown below) reveals that the handset will also include an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint scanner. According to other reports, the device will feature a 6.78-inch OLED panel that offers a 1.5K resolution.
Honor GT Pro features an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor
Charlie further revealed that the GT Pro will come equipped with LPDDR5x Ultra RAM and UFS 4.1 storage. The performance-focused phone will also inherit the Honor Magic 7 series’ dual 1216 ultra-large symmetrical speakers for enhanced audio. Other confirmed features include Rhino Glass protection, a metal middle frame, dual-band PGS, and triple-band Beidou positioning.
Additionally, Charlie has liked a recent Weibo post by reliable tipster Digital Chat Station, who reiterated many of the above specifications. However, DCS added that the Honor GT Pro will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset.
As for its launch, the Honor GT Pro is expected to debut in China by the end of this month.

Google’s Pixel 9a and Apple’s iPhone 16e are each company’s latest attempts to appeal to the broader mid-range market. Both are cut-down versions of their flagship counterparts and both lean on custom, in-house silicon for raw horsepower—Tensor G4 on the Pixel 9a and Apple’s A18 for the iPhone 16e.
That’s about where the similarities end.
The two chips bring very different visions for what smartphone performance should look like in 2025. Google’s chip emphasizes AI performance while Apple’s solution focuses on raw power and power efficiency.
So, how do these custom chips actually stack up? Let’s break down the key differences.
Google’s Tensor G4 is, at least on paper, a mild upgrade over last year’s G3. It still relies on a semi-custom design, again developed in collaboration with Samsung. Built on Samsung’s 4nm process, the G4 doesn’t bring a significant leap in performance.
It has an octa-core CPU configuration with one high-performance Cortex-X4 core, four Cortex-A720 performance cores, and four Cortex-A520 efficiency cores.
In practice, that translates to performance that is adequate for day-to-day tasks like browsing, app switching, and media consumption.
Benchmark results show the G4 performing somewhere between Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 which makes sense given the chip’s architecture and thermal limitations in a mid-range phone.
Apple’s A18, on the other hand, maintains the company’s lead in chip design. Built on TSMC’s second-gen 3nm (N3E) process, it offers better efficiency and performance headroom than the previous A17. It features two high-performance cores and four efficiency cores, with a 4-core GPU.
That’s still a less GPU core than a regular iPhone 16’s A18 chip. Even then, the A18’s single-core, multi-core, and GPU performance is well ahead of the G4 and even ahead of many Android flagships running Snapdragon processors.

2. AI Features
The Tensor G4’s main selling point isn’t raw horsepower. It’s machine learning. Google has doubled down on AI-first features, and the Pixel 9a understandably benefits from that.
It has AI features like Best Take, Magic Editor, on-device transcription, and translation are all supported by the G4’s dedicated TPU. For users who care about AI tools more than gaming frame rates, Pixel 9a delivers a compelling experience.
The A18 integrates Apple’s latest 16-core Neural Engine, which processes over 35 trillion operations per second. While Apple doesn’t highlight its AI capabilities as loudly as Google does, iOS 18 brings new AI enhancements to Siri, Photos, and on-device summarization.
In raw numbers, Apple’s Neural Engine is faster, but Google uses its TPU more aggressively throughout the UI. Still, the experience depends on whether you want your phone to guess your intent or stay out of the way.
3. Camera Processing
Google has long relied on computational photography to deliver strong camera performance even on budget models, and the 9a is no exception.
The Tensor G4 enables real-time HDR, Super Res Zoom, and Night Sight, features that now run faster and more consistently. Image processing is still tuned for dramatic contrast and clarity, with a slight overprocessing bias. But it’s effective—and again, much of this happens thanks to the TPU, not the CPU or GPU.
Apple’s A18 powers a 48MP camera in the iPhone 16e and brings improvements to Smart HDR and Deep Fusion resulting in more natural images. Apple’s photos should be more balanced and with more realistic color reproduction.
4. Battery Life and Efficiency
Samsung’s 4nm node continues to be a weakness for Google’s silicon. The Tensor G4, while better than its predecessors in heat management, still lags behind Apple in power efficiency.
Apple’s A18 benefits from the more efficient N3E node and a mature power management strategy.
On paper, that means the iPhone 16e should outlast the Pixel 9a when it comes to battery efficiency. Of course, real-world results will vary depending on how people use their phones and the types of apps they run. However, from a purely technical standpoint, Apple’s A18 is clearly ahead of Google’s Tensor G4 in the efficiency game.
5. The Broader Picture
If there’s one thing the Tensor G4 and Apple’s A18 make clear, it’s that these two companies are playing very different games. Google is all-in on AI and software-first experiences, while Apple wants to lead on performance and efficiency at the silicon level.
That said, value still matters. The Pixel 9a costs around $499, while the iPhone 16e starts at $599. For many, the price difference, plus the suite of Google’s AI features, may be enough to make the 9a a smart buy. But for those looking for top-tier performance, the iPhone 16e makes more sense.
Still, there’s more to these phones than just chips. Be sure to check out our full comparison for a deeper dive into cameras, displays, and everything else that matters.

Samsung started rolling out its Android 15-based One UI 7 update to the Galaxy S24 series and the 6th generation foldables, with the 5th generation ones and the S23 series scheduled to get the stable update sometime in May. While Samsung kept users waiting—long enough for headlines to question whether it still represents the face of Android—it also had to halt the long-awaited rollout to last year’s flagships due to a serious bug. But there’s apparently more. A recent report from SamMobile talks about another bug in One UI 7, where the battery icon vanishes.
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra
QuickStar is to blame
The QuickStar Good Lock module reportedly causes the battery icon to disappear and there’s a simple fix to this issue. The QuickStar development team have addressed the reports regarding the battery icon not showing up on the status bar after installing the Android 15-based update. According to SamMobile, the bug has only affected those who used QuickStar to disable the battery icon manually on their phone running on One UI 6.x.
One UI 7 introduces a combined layout for the battery icon and percentage in the status bar. However, if the battery icon was disabled before the update, it won’t automatically show up again after installing the new version.
Fortunately, there’s a very simple solution to it. Affected users need to open Good Lock, head to the QuickStar module, go to the “Visibility of Indicator Icons” menu, and enable the “Battery Icon” option.
For Galaxy S24 users waiting on the One UI 7 update, tipster Ice Universe has revealed in a recent tweet that Samsung has fixed the critical bug and may resume the rollout as early as today. However, he didn’t specify whether the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 will also start receiving the update. Stay tuned, as Samsung is expected to issue a revised rollout schedule soon.

The delay stemmed from an issue first reported in South Korea, where the bug disrupted access to devices, leading Samsung to pull the update to fix the underlying issue. Ice Universe noted in their latest update, “One UI 7 will be pushed to S24 series users today,” indicating a swift resolution. This rapid turnaround suggests Samsung is taking the rollout seriously, despite the initial delay.
One UI 7 brings a transformative redesign, featuring smoother animations, a revamped home screen, and enhanced AI capabilities. The new NowBar delivers real-time lock screen updates, while updated widgets and robust privacy controls offer greater personalization. Beta testers have lauded its almost fluid performance and cohesive aesthetic. The update’s focus on usability positions it as a significant leap for Samsung’s ecosystem.
The rollout will kick off with 2024 flagships like the S24 series and is expected to extend to older flagships like the S23 series and Z Fold 5 by May. Samsung’s proactive approach—addressing the bug and restarting within hours—reflects its commitment to quality.

Baseus has launched its latest ultra-compact power bank—the Qpow 3—with a sleek redesign, faster charging, and more ports than ever. Starting at just 99 yuan or approx. $14 (after discounts), the 10,000mAh model is now officially on sale in China, with a 20,000mAh version also available for power-hungry users.
Baseus Qpow 3 Power Bank Specifications
This isn’t just another pocket battery pack. The Qpow 3 brings a thoughtful set of upgrades across the board. Thanks to Baseus’ in-house Pocket IN stacking architecture, the new model is about 10% smaller and 12% lighter than before. It’s roughly the size of a compact makeup case—seriously, you could toss it in a jacket pocket and forget it’s there.
But don’t let the size fool you. The Qpow 3 supports full-speed 45W fast charging, which is powerful enough to juice up an iPhone 16 to 55% or a Huawei Mate 60 Pro to 52% in just 30 minutes. It also plays nicely with iPads and even the Nintendo Switch, making it a travel essential for multi-device users.
The power bank features a four-port setup, including two built-in USB-C cables. One of them supports bidirectional charging (up to 45W), so you can both charge and recharge through the same cable. There’s also a USB-C output and a USB-A output, giving you enough flexibility to charge four devices at once without cable chaos. Total output reaches 5V/3A, supporting most modern fast-charging protocols.
To keep all this power cool, Baseus includes a smart dual thermal management system. It combines AI Temperature Control 3.0 with graphene-based heat dissipation, capable of taking 110,000 temperature readings per second. So yeah, it’s not just fast—it’s smart too.
Rounding out the features is a real-time LED display for battery stats, a low-current mode for wearables, and full airline-safe certification. There’s also robust safety under the hood, with 9-layer protection covering everything from overcurrent to electromagnetic interference.
Both the 10,000mAh and 20,000mAh versions are available in four eye-catching finishes—Starry Black, Galaxy Blue, Milky White, and Nebula Purple. The smaller version weighs 216g and measures 110.7 x 62.7 x 26.5mm, while the larger packs in more juice at 361g and 121 x 72.5 x 31.5mm.

The Redmi A5 (4G) sports a 6.88-inch LCD display with a resolution of 1640 x 720 pixels and a refresh rate of up to 120Hz. Brightness tops out at 450 nits. The phone measures 171.7 x 77.8 x 8.26mm and weighs 193 grams. Biometric authentication is handled by a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and AI-based facial recognition.

Realme is all set to unveil its next performance flagship—the GT7—on April 23 at 4 PM in China, and it’s already shaping up to be a major disruptor in the sub-3000 yuan (~$400) segment. With a clear focus on battery life, charging tech, and raw performance, the company has been dropping teaser after teaser to build up the hype.
Earlier today, Realme revealed that the GT 7 will pack a massive 7200mAh silicon-carbon battery, making it one of the highest-capacity batteries in a flagship phone this year.
Following that, Realme confirmed that the phone will support second-generation bypass charging, designed to reduce heat buildup during gaming and charging sessions. The brand claims that even with heavy use, the GT 7 can deliver 4.5 hours of gaming, 10.2 hours of video scrolling, or 7.4 hours of navigation while still retaining 50% battery. It also supports a wide range of fast-charging protocols, including SVOOC, PPS, UFCS, PD, and standard methods. And yes, it comes with 100W wired fast charging, which should top up that huge battery in no time.
As for the rest of the specs, Realme hasn’t officially confirmed everything yet, but leaks are already filling in the gaps. The GT7 is expected to feature a flat 144Hz display from BOE with slim bezels and an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor.
Powering the phone will be MediaTek’s new 3nm Dimensity 9400+ chipset—a powerhouse that’s also expected to show up in upcoming flagships like the Redmi K80 Ultra and OnePlus Ace 5s Pro. To make the most of that silicon, the GT7 will debut the brand’s GT Performance Engine 2.0, which introduces chip-level kernel enhancements for stable frame rates and smoother gameplay.
Thermals are getting a serious upgrade too. Realme is introducing what it claims is an industry-first thermal design, using a “graphene fiberglass fusion” back panel that reportedly offers six times the thermal conductivity of standard glass. Inside, the phone will feature a 7700mm² vapor chamber—the largest single-unit cooling system seen in any smartphone so far. It’s also expected to offer IP69 water resistance and a lightweight plastic middle frame.

Word of this comes from a reliable insider Digital Chat Station. The tipster claims the upcoming Apple foldable will feature a 7.76-inch internal display with a 2712 x 1920 pixel resolution, and yes, a camera hidden under the screen.
Under-display camera makes sense in foldable iPhone
Yes, it’s not the most Apple-like move to debut its new tech in a niche product. It makes sense in this case, though.
Samsung’s been doing the same thing for years with its Z Fold lineup, and while under-display cameras still can’t match the quality of traditional ones, they’re mostly there to be invisible anyway. Plus, like Samsung’s foldables, Apple’s will likely include a regular selfie cam on the cover screen, so you aren’t stuck with a blurry mess.
Speaking of which, the leak also mentions a 5.49-inch cover display with a 2088 x 1422 resolution; and this one apparently has a hole-punch cutout for a camera. So, yes, you’re getting both kinds of cameras here.
In terms of design, Apple may be leaning toward a more compact, “squat” form factor similar to the Oppo Find N2, rather than the tall, narrow style of Samsung’s Fold lineup. That could make the device easier to use one-handed — or at least slightly less awkward to fold and unfold in public.
