Galaxy S27 Ultra rumored to debut Samsung’s Si-C battery

By

-

Apr 20, 2026

Samsung might finally be getting serious about fixing one of its biggest weak spots in the flagship space: battery tech. Fresh leaks suggest the company is making real progress on silicon-carbon (Si-C) batteries, and the Galaxy S27 Ultra is now being tipped as the phone where this upgrade could actually show up.

For a while now, Samsung has been trailing behind a few Chinese brands that have already moved to Si-C cells. The advantage is higher energy density, meaning you can fit more capacity without making the phone thicker. In comparison, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is still stuck with a 5,000mAh battery.

New details, reportedly from Samsung SDI documents shared via the Schrodingerintel blog, give a clearer picture of what’s being tested internally. The company has apparently been experimenting with silicon-carbon batteries ranging from 12,000mAh all the way up to 20,000mAh.

One of the more interesting configurations mentioned is a dual-cell setup labeled SDI-DC12K-SiC-V2. It combines a 6,800mAh cell (around 4.7mm thick) with a 5,200mAh cell (about 3.2mm). The 6,800mAh cell or a similar version of it could realistically fit inside the Galaxy S27 Ultra without going overboard on thickness.

The bigger issue, though, seems to be longevity. The 20,000mAh setup reportedly managed around 960 charge cycles before failing. That’s quite a bit short of the ~1,500 cycles expected for commercial use. And that gap likely explains why we didn’t see this tech make it into the S26 series.

From what’s being said, Samsung engineers are now working on improving things like separator materials, stacking techniques, and battery management to get those numbers up to a usable level.

Interestingly, Samsung has already admitted it’s behind in battery tech. That alone kind of hints that a shift is coming sooner rather than later. If the South Korean giant manages to sort out the durability issues in time, the S27 Ultra could end up being a pretty big moment for Galaxy fans.

POCO C81 and C81X Set for India Launch: What to Expect from the Budget Phones

By

-

Apr 20, 2026

POCO is set to launch two new budget 4G smartphones in India on April 23, the POCO C81 and POCO C81X. These devices will replace the POCO C71 and focus largely on battery life and basic day-to-day performance.

The POCO C81 will come with a 6300mAh battery, which is 20 percent larger than the 5200mAh unit used in the previous model. Even with the bigger battery, POCO says the phone keeps a similar slim design. The company also claims the battery can hold up to 80 percent of its capacity after 1000 charging cycles. There is also a cold endurance mode that is meant to keep the phone running smoothly in low temperature conditions.

Charging support includes 15W wired charging with a charger included in the box. The phone also supports 7.5W reverse wired charging, so it can charge other devices when needed. Based on official teasers, the device will feature a 13MP rear camera.

In terms of hardware, the C81 is expected to have a 6.9-inch HD+ LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It is likely to run on the UNISOC T7250 chipset and ship with Android 16 along with Xiaomi HyperOS 3. The focus here is clearly on offering longer usage time for common tasks like messaging, social media, and video streaming.

The POCO C81X will be a slightly more basic version. It will have a 5200mAh battery, but it will still keep the same charging setup with 15W wired charging and 7.5W reverse charging. It is also rated for 80 percent battery health after 1000 charging cycles. Software-level optimizations for managing background apps are expected here as well.

Both phones will be available on Flipkart after launch. More details, including pricing, will be shared at the official announcement.

Huawei debuts MateBook 14 HarmonyOS Edition with first in-house PC chip, 70Wh battery, only 40W TDP

By

-

Apr 20, 2026

Huawei is clearly aiming for a younger crowd with its latest laptop, the MateBook 14 HarmonyOS Edition. At first glance, it’s the design that grabs attention. The laptop is slim (just 14.5mm) and light at around 1.33kg, but more importantly, it comes in colors you don’t usually see in this category—Wild Green, Cherry Blossom Pink Gold, and the safer Space Gray.

The Green and Pink versions even get round, color-matched keys, which give them a slightly quirky, lifestyle-device vibe, while the Gray sticks to a more conventional look.

Huawei has also tweaked the chassis with a new D-shell design and a surprisingly dense pattern of tiny air vents underneath, almost 5,000 of them. Typing should feel decent too, thanks to 1.5mm key travel.

You’re getting a 14.2-inch OLED panel with a sharp 2.8K resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. Add in full sRGB and P3 color coverage, 1.07 billion colors, and Huawei’s PaperMatte layer for reduced glare, and it’s clearly aimed at both content consumption and light creative work.

Under the hood, the laptop runs on Huawei’s Kirin X90 chip, paired with HarmonyOS 6.1. Performance-wise, it’s backed by a 40W TDP and a dual-fan cooling system, which should be enough for everyday productivity and multitasking. Battery life looks strong on paper too—a 70Wh battery rated for up to 21 hours of local video playback and 20 hours of streaming.

HarmonyOS itself brings a bunch of AI features like Celia Deep Research and note-taking tools, plus tighter ecosystem integration if you’re already using Huawei devices. There’s also support for Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, and Huawei’s NearLink tech, along with a full set of ports.

Pricing and availability:

Pricing starts at 6,599 yuan (equivalent to $967) and goes up to 8,599 yuan depending on the configuration, with sales starting from April 28 in the home country.

Huawei Sound X5 debuts with eight-unit speaker setup, 126mm woofer, and 18K real gold

By

-

Apr 20, 2026

Huawei has introduced a new smart speaker as part of its latest launch event, and this one leans heavily on both sound quality and smart features. The Huawei Sound X5 was announced alongside the Pura 90 series and WATCH FIT 5 series, expanding the company’s growing ecosystem of connected devices.

At its core, the Sound X5 focuses on audio. Huawei is using an eight-unit, three-way speaker setup, consisting of a 126 mm woofer, four 48 mm midrange drivers, a 35 mm tweeter, and two passive radiators. The idea here is better separation across lows, mids, and highs. Huawei claims bass can go down to 36Hz, which should add a bit more depth compared to smaller speakers.

The rated output is around 160W, broken down into a 60W woofer, four 20W midrange drivers, and a 20W tweeter. For comparison, the Huawei Sound X4 featured a 50W 120.7mm woofer, four 38.1mm 5W full-range speakers, a 31.8mm 3W tweeter, and two passive radiators.

There’s also a push toward smarter interactions this time. The speaker runs on an updated HarmonyOS AI model, with support for more natural voice commands and continuous conversations. In theory, that means less rigid phrasing when you’re trying to control it.

Connectivity is also built around Huawei’s ecosystem. With HarmonyOS Smart Connect, the Sound X5 can link with other devices for things like quick audio sharing or basic smart home control. There are also smaller additions like gesture controls and a sleep mode.

Huawei has also included lighting effects that react to sound, adding a bit of visual feedback while music is playing. It’s not essential, but it does help the speaker stand out a little.

Pricing and availability:

It comes in black, white, and gold finishes, with pricing starting at 2,199 yuan. The gold version is priced slightly higher at 2,499 yuan, likely due to its passive radiator being plated with 18K gold. The product is currently available for purchase through the company’s official website in China.

Huawei debuts WATCH FIT 5 series with 3000-nit AMOLED, 2.5D glass, up to 10-day battery

By

-

Apr 20, 2026

Huawei has officially launched the WATCH FIT 5 series, adding a new set of smartwatches to its lineup. The announcement came during the Pura series event, and as expected, the focus is on a mix of design, fitness features, and battery life rather than anything too experimental.

The WATCH FIT 5 Pro comes with a 1.92-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a resolution of 480 × 408. It’s surrounded by fairly slim 1.8mm bezels and protected with a 2.5D glass, which gives the watch a modern look overall. The display reaches up to 3000 nits, so visibility outdoors shouldn’t be much of a problem.

Just like last year’s WATCH Fit 4 Pro, the successor uses a titanium alloy bezel, and Huawei is pairing it with a woven strap that’s meant to feel lighter and more comfortable. Without the strap, the watch weighs 30.4 grams. Color options include White, Orange, and Black.

On the feature side, Huawei is leaning into shorter, more casual workouts. There are additions like “cycling assistant” and a golf mode. Health tracking includes ECG support and some form of blood sugar monitoring research, though how that works in practice will matter more than the feature list itself.

The list of sensors includes:

Accelerometer
Gyroscope sensor
Geomagnetic sensor
Ambient light sensor
Optical heart rate sensor
barometric pressure sensor
Temperature sensor
ECG sensor
Depth sensor

Battery life is fairly typical for this category. Huawei says the WATCH FIT 5 Pro can last up to 7 days of regular use, or around 10 days if you’re not pushing it too hard.

The standard WATCH FIT 5 gets a slightly smaller 1.82-inch AMOLED display, though it keeps the same resolution as the Pro and reaches up to 2500 nits brightness. It also includes most of the same sensors, just without ECG and the depth sensor. It comes in purple, green, white, and black, and is aimed at users who want a lighter watch at 27g, versus 30.4g for the Pro, without all the extra features.

Pricing and availability:

Pricing starts at 1099 yuan for the WATCH FIT 5 and 2099 yuan for the Pro. The standard model went up for pre-order on April 20 and goes on sale April 29, while the Pro opens for pre-orders on April 29 and will be available from May 15.

Huawei launches AI Glasses with in-house AI chip and titanium hinge

Apr 20, 2026

Huawei has introduced its new AI-powered smart glasses at its latest Pura series launch event. The device was unveiled by He Gang, CEO of Huawei Terminal BG, who wore the glasses during the presentation.

The product, called Huawei AI Glasses, comes in three color options: titanium silver gray, shimmering silver, and modern black. Huawei is also offering both round and square frame designs.

The glasses retail for 2,499 yuan (~ $367) for the titanium silver gray and modern black versions, while the shimmering silver model is priced higher at 2,899 yuan (~ $425). Pre-orders begin on April 20, with sales starting April 25.

Huawei AI Glasses Specifications

On design, the glasses are lightweight and will feel closer to your everyday eyewear. The company says it uses new lightweight materials and precision stacking techniques. The temples measure 6.25 mm, and the total weight is 35.5 grams.

Huawei also claims the design is based on analysis of over 300,000 head shapes in Asia, which it uses to build what it calls a “golden triangle” structure for balance.

The glasses use a self-developed titanium alloy hinge system, which Huawei says improves stability by 21% compared to competing products. There is also mention of a 0.65 mm effective amplitude and a 120 square millimeter vibration area, which relates to the frame’s mechanical movement and fit.

Inside, the glasses are powered by a Huawei-developed AI chip. The company claims near-instant response times for voice interactions, with support for voice wake-up and a one-click AI shortcut. A few of the key features include “See the World” through Huawei’s Xiaoyi assistant and an Alipay “Look and Pay” function.

For media use, the glasses come with a 1/2.8-inch image sensor. Huawei says it supports AI RAW multi-frame fusion, along with AI-assisted composition correction and first-person perspective live streaming.

Alongside the hardware, Huawei is also launching a companion app called Huawei Glasses App. It supports pairing, smart audio broadcasting, automatic content import, and device collaboration with other Huawei products.

The Huawei AI Glasses are rated for up to 12 hours of general use, including around 8 hours of voice calls and 9 hours of continuous music playback.

Here’s a look at what the latest leak has revealed.

Honor Magic 9 Pro Max’s leak by Smart Pikachu

According to tipster Smart Pikachu on Weibo, Honor is working on a new Pro Max variant as part of the Magic 9 series. There is a possibility that this model may replace the previously expected Ultra version, suggesting a shift in naming strategy for the company’s premium devices.

One of the major highlights of the Magic 9 Pro Max is expected to be its dual 200-megapixel camera setup. This includes a primary sensor and a periscope telephoto lens, both aimed at delivering high-resolution imaging and improved zoom capabilities. The device is also tipped to introduce better stabilization to reduce blur and enhance clarity, especially during video recording.

Beyond still photography, Honor is reportedly focusing on refining video performance. The upcoming model is expected to deliver smoother footage, sharper visuals, and improved low-light video quality.

The leak also suggests that Honor may integrate ARRI imaging technology into the Magic 9 Pro Max. This partnership, previously seen on concept devices, could bring enhancements in colour science and video processing, further strengthening the phone’s imaging capabilities.

Xiaomi launches Mijia Timer Gas Stove 3 Pro with auto safety shutoff and cooking timer

By

-

Apr 20, 2026

Xiaomi has launched a new smart kitchen appliance in China. The company’s latest product is the Xiaomi Mijia Timer Gas Stove 3 Pro, which debuted on the Youpin platform.

It is priced at 2,299 yuan (~ $338), but a limited-time offer discounts it to 1,899 yuan (~ $279). The stove is designed for natural gas users with a priority on safety, automation, and energy efficiency.

Xiaomi Mijia Timer Gas Stove 3 Pro Launch Specs price

Xiaomi Mijia Timer Gas Stove 3 Pro Specifications

At the core of the system is a pressure-sensitive titanium alloy probe that monitors pot temperature in real time. If it detects that a pot is overheating or running dry, the system can automatically shut off the gas and extinguish the flame. Xiaomi says this anti-dry-burning feature is available on the right burner.

Both burners also support a built-in timer ranging from 1 to 180 minutes. Once the set time is reached, the stove automatically turns off the gas flow and extinguishes the flame.

Xiaomi Mijia Timer Gas Stove 3 Pro Specs

On the performance side, the stove delivers up to 5200W of heat output. Xiaomi claims it supports high-efficiency combustion with up to 70% thermal efficiency and meets new Level 1 energy efficiency standards. The company also estimates that users could save around 1,680 yuan in gas costs over eight years.

The design also focuses on maintenance. The stove uses an anti-fingerprint AG glass panel, removable burner heads, and a detachable pot rack for easier cleaning. It also includes an adjustable chassis, which allows installation without modifying existing kitchen cutouts.

The smart features also extend to the connected home ecosystem. When paired with the Mi Home app and a compatible range hood, the stove can send alerts for abnormal usage, such as flameouts or dry burning. However, Xiaomi notes that compatibility depends on specific models, especially for older range hoods.

Xiaomi Mijia Timer Gas Stove 3 Pro Design

There are also a few limitations. The anti-dry-burning system requires direct contact with metal cookware, meaning ceramic, glass, or earthen pots may not work well with this feature.

Apr 20, 2026

Dell Technologies has launched the Dell 15 laptop in India, aimed at users looking for a reliable machine for daily work, study, and communication, with added AI support.

Oppo Find X9 Ultra Roundup: Design, Display, Camera, Battery, and More

By

-

Apr 20, 2026

Oppo is set to make the Find X9 Ultra official on April 21 — tomorrow — and at this point, there isn’t much left to guess. Thanks to official teasers, certification listings, and a steady flow of leaks, we are already well aware of the Find X9 Ultra in full.

As you might know, it’s a photography-first phone, but it still comes with the usual checklist of flagship features: a large battery, a high-refresh-rate display, and a top-end chipset.

Still, most of the conversation around the device comes back to the camera system. So let’s go through a roundup of the Oppo Find X9 Ultra to understand what it will offer in terms of cameras and other specs.

Prev Next

1. Cameras

Oppo’s collaboration with Hasselblad isn’t new, but this time it feels more integrated into the actual shooting experience. The company is introducing something called Hasselblad Master Mode 2.0.

The new mode is designed to deliver professional-grade photography with enhanced creative flexibility. This system introduces native film styles (Portra, 800T, TX400, XPAN), supports 16EV high dynamic range, and allows users to save up to 20 custom AI-powered presets. Not to forget, the system also supports RAW MAX and JPEG MAX across multiple focal lengths (14mm, 23mm, 46mm, 70mm, 140mm, 230mm).

As for the hardware, the Find X9 Ultra is expected to feature a quad-camera setup that includes two 200-megapixel sensors — one for the main camera and another for a 3x zoom lens.

Alongside that, there’s a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera and a separate 10x periscope telephoto lens. There’s also mention of a 3.2-megapixel multispectral sensor to help with color accuracy.

Here, the main sensor is said to be the Sony LYT-901, while the ultra-wide uses Sony’s LYT-600. The 3x zoom relies on an OmniVision OV52A sensor, and the 10x periscope uses a Samsung JN-series sensor.

On top of that, Oppo is reportedly working on an optional telephoto extender with 16 glass elements. For most people, the built-in 10x zoom can handle most scenarios, but those who need more reach can opt for the external kit. Oppo claims it can deliver up to 20x “optical-quality” zoom and a maximum of 120x digital zoom.

There’s also a redesigned prism structure in the telephoto system, which is said to improve long-distance shooting. Combined with optical calibration during manufacturing, Oppo seems to be focusing on consistency as much as raw zoom capability.

2. Design

The design of the Find X9 Ultra makes it clear what the phone is about. The back is dominated by a large circular camera module. Inside the circle are camera sensors arranged in a somewhat asymmetrical layout, sitting within a rounded rectangular island.

The rest of the back panel uses a leather-like texture with a dual-tone finish toward the bottom. It’s a small detail, but it likely helps with grip, especially on a device that weighs around 238 grams.

Color options are expected to include Velvet Sand Canyon (an orange finish), Earth Tundra (brown), and Polar Glacier (white). The top-tier 16GB + 1TB model may also come bundled with a special Hasselblad “Explorer Master Kit.”

There are also a couple of physical additions worth noting. The Find X9 Ultra has a “Quick Button” at the bottom right, which will be useful for shortcuts or quick camera access. Meanwhile, there’s a “Snap Key” at the top left for accessing AI features.

3. The rest of the flagship checklist

Oppo Find X9 Ultra

Beyond the camera, the Find X9 Ultra mostly follows the expected formula for a high-end Android phone. It’s likely to feature a 6.78-inch OLED display with a resolution of 3168 x 1440 pixels, along with a 144Hz refresh rate.

Powering the device is the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, paired with LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.1 storage. Configurations are expected to go up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, with satellite connectivity reserved for the top variant.

Keeping everything running is a 7,050mAh battery that is expected to support 100W wired and 50W wireless charging.

Other features include an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor, dual speakers, an IR blaster, and a full set of durability ratings — IP68, IP69, and IP69K. The phone will run ColorOS 16, based on Android 16.

Huawei launches Pura 90 with redesigned camera module and 6,500mAh battery

By

-

Apr 20, 2026

Huawei is rounding out its latest flagship Pura 90 lineup with the launch of the standard Pura 90. It sits below the Pro and Pro Max in the lineup, but still brings a surprisingly aggressive mix of camera hardware, battery life, and design.

At a glance, the Pura 90 shares the same rounded triangular (or “guitar pick”) camera module seen across the lineup, but the execution is noticeably different.

Instead of the symmetrical triple-camera layout on the Pro Max, the standard Pura 90 goes for an asymmetrical design. It has one large circular camera paired with smaller surrounding sensors. The design makes the base model visually different from the part.

On the front, you get a 6.8-inch display with a centered pill-shaped punch-hole cutout. Huawei Pura 90 Pro series, in comparison, has a single punch-hole design.

Camera and Battery

Even as the “entry” model in the lineup, Huawei isn’t holding back much on imaging.

The Pura 90 features a 50MP RYYB main camera with OIS and an f/1.8 aperture, paired with a 12.5MP RYYB ultra-wide (f/2.2) and a 50MP periscope telephoto offering 3.7x optical zoom, also with OIS. Like the rest of the series, it includes Huawei’s Red Maple color system for improved color accuracy.

Up front, there’s a 50MP selfie camera, and interestingly, Huawei is adding a Red Maple color camera on the front as well, something that’s not available on the Pro and Pro Max variants.

Huawei Pura 90 Camera Specs — Huawei Pura 90 Rear Camera

Huawei Pura 90 series display difference — Huawei Pura 90 Rear Camera

The Pura 90 packs a 6,500mAh battery, which is actually larger than the 6,000mAh unit found in the Pro Max. It supports 100W fast charging.

Unlike the new Kirin 9030 series, the Pura 90 is powered by the Kirin 9010S processor. Still, Huawei says the performance is about 15 percent better than the previous generation.

On the software side, the phone runs HarmonyOS 6.1, bringing the same AI-focused experience, visual refresh, and Xiaoyi assistant improvements seen across the rest of the Pura 90 series.

Despite the large battery, the Pura 90 comes in at just 7mm thick.

Price and availability

The Huawei Pura 90 starts at 4,699 yuan for the 12GB + 256GB model. The 12GB + 512GB version is priced at 5,199 yuan, while the 16GB + 512GB variant comes in at 5,699 yuan.

Huawei Pura 90	Price (CNY)	Approx. Price (USD)
12GB + 256GB	4,699 yuan	~$681
12GB + 512GB	5,199 yuan	~$754
16GB + 512GB	5,699 yuan	~$826
