DOOGEE S200 Plus Rugged Phone Launches with World’s First Rear AMOLED Display

The rugged smartphone world gets a bold new contender with the launch of the DOOGEE S200 Plus, available for sale starting this April. Positioned as a premium upgrade to the popular S200, the S200 Plus introduces an evolved mecha-inspired design, a pioneering rear AMOLED display, and an across-the-board performance boost. 

Designed for adventurers, outdoor workers, and tech enthusiasts who demand more from their mobile devices, the S200 Plus blends brute durability with modern convenience and high-tech aesthetics. It’s a flagship-level rugged phone with features typically seen only in mainstream devices, making it a true hybrid of toughness and tech-forward innovation.

Rugged Durability Built to Withstand the Extreme

DOOGEE has never cut corners when it comes to resilience, and the S200 Plus continues that tradition with enhanced ruggedness. The phone boasts IP68, IP69K, and MIL-STD-810H certifications, ensuring it can tackle water, dust, and drop scenarios that would cripple standard smartphones. It can survive submersion in up to 2 meters of water for 24 hours, remain unaffected by dust-heavy environments for 12 hours, and take on drops thanks to its reinforced structural build and shock-absorbing materials.

Whether you’re hiking through a desert, working in a dusty warehouse, or enduring a wet storm, the S200 Plus won’t flinch.

Rear AMOLED Display – A First in the Industry

One of the standout features of the S200 Plus is its 1.32-inch AMOLED rear display, making it an industry first among rugged smartphones. With a crisp 466 × 466 pixel resolution and a 60Hz refresh rate, this mini-screen is more than a gimmick. 

Users can preview and play YouTube videos, access key controls like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and battery settings, and even customize it with dynamic signatures or cyberpunk-inspired watch dials. It adds both style and functionality, ideal for those who want quick info at a glance without turning the phone around.

MediaTek Dimensity 7300: Next-Gen Performance

Under the hood, the S200 Plus is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset, built on a 4nm process. This 5G-enabled octa-core processor ensures blazing-fast performance, energy efficiency, and enhanced support for AI-driven tasks. Whether you’re running AI photo edits or multitasking on outdoor job sites, the device stays fast and responsive. 

With full 5G support, users can enjoy rapid downloads, seamless video calls, and smooth streaming, making the phone equally adept in remote fields or urban jungles.

Storage Options Fit for the Power User

The DOOGEE S200 Plus offers a substantial 512GB of internal storage, more than enough for handling a large volume of apps, HD videos, offline maps, and games. But if you still need more, the phone supports expansion up to 2TB via TF card, providing ultimate flexibility. 

This makes it perfect for users who require massive data storage on the go, like vloggers, field technicians, and outdoor content creators.

A Vivid Viewing Experience with a 120Hz Display

The main display is a spacious 6.72-inch Full HD+ IPS panel with an ultra-smooth 120Hz refresh rate. It’s engineered for immersive entertainment and crystal-clear visual clarity. While IPS may not match AMOLED in contrast, it still delivers bright, accurate colors and great viewing angles, especially in daylight. 

Combined with its large screen size, the experience is ideal for gaming, navigation, media playback, and detailed map reading.

Massive Battery Built to Last Days

Battery life is one of the S200 Plus’s strongest suits. Equipped with a huge 10,100mAh battery, this device can go multiple days on a single charge, even with heavy usage. It supports 33W fast charging for minimal downtime and 18W reverse OTG charging, allowing you to juice up other devices in the field. This is a survivalist’s dream phone, reliable even when you’re far from an outlet.

Triple Camera System with Advanced AI Support

DOOGEE brings advanced photography into rugged territory with a 100MP AI main camera, supported by a 20MP night vision sensor and a 2MP macro lens. The inclusion of the Morpho Imaging Algorithm ensures clear shots even in low-light environments. 

Whether you’re capturing wildlife at dusk or scanning documents in dim warehouses, this camera setup performs reliably. Night vision enhances security and exploration, while macro adds detail-focused versatility.

AI Tools for Smarter, Creative Usage

DOOGEE’s AI suite transforms the S200 Plus into more than just a smartphone. With features like AI Erase (for removing photo distractions), AI Background Replacement, and AI Portrait generation, content creation becomes seamless. 

Even more futuristic is AI Digital Human, which allows users to generate talking avatars, perfect for quick presentations or creative storytelling on the go.

Refined Android 14 Experience

The S200 Plus runs Android 14, offering a modern, clean interface with helpful enhancements. DOOGEE has included app cloning, a dynamic capsule, and a smart control panel for multitasking and customization. Whether you’re using it for professional applications or entertainment, the OS feels fluid, responsive, and intuitively designed.

OnePlus quietly relaunches the Watch 3 with a 50% price hike following an early typo mishap

The OnePlus Watch 3 is finally available in the United States following a delayed rollout caused by an unexpected error.  The first batch of devices were discovered to have a “Meda in China” typo on the back of the hardware. As a result of this, the company decided to halt all shipments back in February.

After nearly six weeks off the market, the Watch 3 is now back in the official OnePlus US store. But it’s not without controversy. The watch which was priced at $329.99 at launch is now listed at $499.99 on the official site. 

That’s a whopping 50 percent increase from the initial retail price, and so far, OnePlus has not offered any formal explanation for the sharp hike.

OnePlus Watch 3 50% price hike

It’s not hard to guess, though, the reason for the hike. The US government has imposed a steep 145 percent tariff on Chinese imports. And since the watch clearly states that it is manufactured in China, it’s likely these new trade penalties are being passed down to consumers in the form of higher retail prices.

The specs remain the same

The Watch 3 itself remains unchanged from the original announcement. It features a 1.5-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a peak brightness of 2,200 nits, housed in a titanium alloy bezel and stainless steel body. The sapphire glass display, rotating crown, and fluoro rubber strap aim to balance durability and usability.

On the health side, the Watch 3 includes a wrist temperature sensor, an eight-channel heart rate sensor, a 16-channel blood oxygen sensor, and a vascular health test. It supports over 100 workout modes, including GPS-powered tracking, and runs a hybrid WearOS 5 and RTOS system on the Snapdragon W5 chip.

The watch can give up to five days of run time in smart mode and supports fast charging which gives a day’s worth of juice in just 10 minutes. However, whether these features justify the new price tag will likely be up for debate among buyers.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 might only launch with the Exynos 2500, Mass production starts next month

Samsung is one of the few brands that use its self developed chips for its smartphones. The Exynos lineup has powered every range of Galaxy devices, from budget to flagship. However, the company’s more premium lineup like the Galaxy Z series of foldable phones has typically launched with Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 8 series chips. But it appears that this might not be the case for the Galaxy Z Flip 7.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 arriving exclusively with Exynos 2500

The latest information arrives from Seoul Economic Daily. The new report claims that the South Korean tech giant is planning on kicking off the mass production of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 next month. Although, what really caught our eye was the details regarding the next gen Samsung flip phone. The brand is apparently planning on launching the Galaxy Z Flip 7 in an Exynos 2500 only variant.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 Leaked Render

To recall, the Exynos 2500 is a 3nm chipset which was rumored to launch with the Galaxy S25. In other words, this would mark the first time ever that Samsung’s flip phone won’t pack a Snapdragon chipset. According to industry sources close to the matter, the company will begin mass production of both foldable smartphones next month from manufacturing sites in South Korea and Vietnam.

Based on what we know so far, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 may sport a bigger cover display, while its protective cases were also leaked. The report adds that Samsung plans on producing around 240,000 units of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and 170,000 units of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE in the second quarter of 2025. On the other hand, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 would get an initial batch of 160,000 units.

The Galaxy Z Flip has been quite popular thanks to its more affordable pricing and design. So it’s no surprise that the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is getting more units. However, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is a new entry, but Samsung could be expecting decent demand.

Exclusive: Indkal set to launch Acer smartphones in India with AI-backed 64MP triple camera 5G phone

An Amazon India landing page that has been live for some time has been teasing the arrival of Acer smartphones. Today, the updated page officially confirmed that Acer will announce its new phones on April 15 in India. For those unfamiliar, the launch is being handled by Indkal Technologies, a company that has a trademark licensing agreement with Acer Incorporated, the global ICT giant known for its innovation and quality products. Under this partnership, Indkal will design, manufacture, and distribute Acer smartphones exclusively for the Indian market.

Ahead of the April 15 announcement, we have exclusive information about an upcoming Acer smartphone. While it’s still unclear how many devices will launch on the said date, the details we are sharing here specifically pertain to the phone being teased with a circular camera module on the Amazon India landing page.

64MP triple camera setup in its price segment

New Acer smartphones launching on April 15 in India

The upcoming 5G-enabled Acer smartphone will feature a triple rear camera unit led by a 64-megapixel Sony sensor. The primary camera is expected to be accompanied by an ultra-wide lens and a macro or depth sensor — a combination that’s rarely seen in this price segment, especially on a 5G phone.

While many smartphones in higher price brackets have started to scale back to dual-lens modules, Acer appears ready to stand out by offering a high-quality triple camera system that could challenge expectations in the segment.

AI-powered photography and low-light enhancements

According to our sources, the 64-megapixel Sony sensor is designed to deliver excellent image performance even in low-light conditions. The device will also include AI-based photo enhancements such as improved noise reduction, enhanced edge detection, vivid color tuning, and better front camera processing across lighting scenarios.

With most phones in this segment compromising on camera hardware, Acer’s decision to go with a capable triple-lens setup, backed by AI, may help it carve a unique identity in the crowded 5G budget market. If executed well, it could put notable pressure on rival brands and mark a strong beginning for Acer’s smartphone journey in India.

Galaxy Tab S9 FE already running One UI 7

Samsung has finally rolled out One UI 7 to its 2024 flagships — the Galaxy S24 series and the 6th-generation foldables. While the Tab S9 FE from 2023 isn’t even included in Samsung’s beta program, one user has already managed to get their device running on One UI 7. For those still waiting, the Tab S9 FE is expected to receive the stable One UI 7 update sometime this summer.

Galaxy Tab S9 FE with this internal build looks almost usable

The news comes from X user @Alfaturk16, who shared a short video and a few images showcasing a Galaxy Tab S9 FE running on a leaked internal test build of One UI 7. The build carries version X516BXXU7CYD1, and it even includes the April 2025 security patch. As per the screenshot he shared, the build is around 3.6GB.

But what about the user experience? After all, this is just an internal test build. Some animations do appear a bit choppy, but that’s understandable given the midrange Exynos 1380 chipset. Screen recording adds extra workload on the processor, which likely contributes to the occasional lag in the system animation. The overall user experience look promising for an internal test build, which suggests it doesn’t have much left to iron out.

The video also demonstrates a number of One UI 7 features available for the Tab S9 FE, such as the relocated app drawer search bar and the NowBar.

According to reports, the One UI 7 update for this tablet is scheduled for a June rollout. In comparison, the Tab S9, S9+, and S9 Ultra are expected to receive the update in May.

In a market flooded with mid-range smartphones, the Motorola Edge 60 Fusion and OnePlus Nord CE 4 stand out as two of the most talked-about releases of 2025. Both brands promise flagship-like features at competitive prices, but they take very different approaches. 

This comparison matters because choosing between them isn’t just about specs, it’s about what kind of experience you value more: design, performance, cameras, or long-term reliability.

1. Design and Display

The Motorola Edge 60 Fusion feels slightly more premium with its eco-leather back (in some variants), Gorilla Glass 7i protection, and full IP68/IP69 certification, making it resistant to dust, high-pressure water, and drops. Meanwhile, the OnePlus Nord CE 4 offers an IP54 rating, which is decent for splash resistance but less rugged overall. Motorola’s design also includes MIL-STD-810H compliance, adding to its durability credentials.

In terms of display, Motorola takes a step ahead again. It offers a brighter P-OLED panel with peak brightness up to 4500 nits and a sharper 1220p resolution, while OnePlus uses a 1080p Fluid AMOLED with a lower peak brightness of 1100 nits. Both have 120Hz refresh rates and support HDR10+, but Motorola’s clarity and brightness edge it out for outdoor visibility and color richness.

Motorola gets the nod here for offering a better visual experience and more robust build quality, especially if you value premium materials and durability in daily use.

2. Specifications

Under the hood, OnePlus Nord CE 4 is powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3, a very efficient and powerful mid-range chipset, which should provide better sustained performance and graphics capabilities compared to Motorola’s Dimensity 7300/7400. While both are 4nm chips, Snapdragon holds a slight lead in raw performance and gaming optimization.

Battery capacity is nearly even, with both phones packing a 5500 mAh unit in the Indian variant of the Motorola and OnePlus offering the same. However, OnePlus steals the show in charging speeds—100W wired charging that fully tops up the phone in under 30 minutes, compared to Motorola’s 68W. Also, Motorola includes the latest Android 15 out of the box with three major OS upgrades, while OnePlus ships with Android 14 and ColorOS.

If performance and fast charging are key, OnePlus is the better bet. But Motorola’s cleaner Android 15 and solid battery life make it a close second.

3. Camera

Both phones sport dual camera setups with a 50MP primary sensor and a secondary ultrawide. Motorola’s main sensor is slightly larger (1/1.56″ vs 1/1.95″) and benefits from optical image stabilization (OIS) and multi-directional PDAF, which should help in low light and fast focus scenarios. The ultrawide on Motorola is 13MP compared to OnePlus’s 8MP, giving it a bit more detail capture.

Where Motorola really pushes ahead is in the selfie department, offering a 32MP front camera capable of 4K video. OnePlus uses a 16MP shooter limited to 1080p, which is fine for basic use but not ideal for content creators or video calls in higher resolution.

Motorola offers a better overall camera setup, especially if you’re into selfies or vlogging. The higher resolution and more flexible camera options make it more appealing for photography.

4. Pricing

The Motorola Edge 60 Fusion is priced around $355. On the other hand, the OnePlus Nord CE 4 comes for about $265. That’s nearly a $90 price gap, making the OnePlus significantly more affordable.

Considering what you get at that price, Snapdragon 7 Gen 3, fast 100W charging, and decent cameras, the OnePlus is a solid value proposition. Motorola offers a more premium build and display, but for the price, you are paying a bit extra for those upgrades.

If budget is the main factor, OnePlus wins for being competitively priced while still delivering strong specs. But Motorola justifies its cost with extra polish in materials and display quality.

5. Conclusion

Motorola brings a few standout features rarely found at this price point, including IP69-rated water resistance, MIL-STD-810H durability, and the brightest display in its class. It also features Smart Connect (Ready For) which allows desktop-style connectivity, something power users or professionals may appreciate.

OnePlus, meanwhile, offers 100W charging, one of the fastest in this range, and 24-bit/192kHz Hi-Res audio support including wireless codecs like aptX HD and LHDC, which is a big win for audiophiles. It also includes an IR blaster for remote control functionality, a subtle but practical touch for some users.

Motorola focuses on durability and media/display excellence, while OnePlus leans into audio, speed, and efficiency. Your preference depends on whether you value rugged polish or a fast, efficient experience with thoughtful extras.

Audio-Technica will launch a special edition headphone, the ATH-AWSW DV, at Star Wars Celebration Japan 2025 from April 18 to 20. Only 10 units will be made, and they’ll be available at the Audio-Technica booth (No. 28–32) at Makuhari Messe.

Audio-Technica ATH-AWSW DV

This is a wooden headphone featuring traditional Echizen lacquer and maki-e artwork showing Darth Vader. Each side of the headphone has a different design, created using official Lucasfilm assets made specifically for this product. The artwork was done by Japanese craftsmen using brush techniques, making each unit slightly unique.

The headphone has been tuned to bring out the depth in Star Wars music. Audio-Technica, known for over 20 years of wood headphone design, handled all production in Japan—from part sourcing to final assembly in their Tokyo factory. Each unit has a serial number.

Audio-Technica ATH-AWSW DV

These headphones weigh 415 grams and are equipped with large 53 mm drivers. They support Hi-Res Audio and offer a wide frequency range from 5 Hz to 45,000 Hz. With a sensitivity of 102 dB/mW and an impedance of 48 ohms, they can handle up to 2,000 mW of input power, making them suitable for high-performance audio setups.

All accessories match the Star Wars theme. The headphone stand is also made for display use. Sales will end once all 10 units are sold. If any remain after the event, there may be a second sale later. As for pricing, the headphones will cost 990,000 yen (~$6,700).

Unfortunately, tickets to the Star Wars Celebration Japan 2025 event have already sold out. That said, you can still get your hands on some cool Star Wars-themed earbuds which Audio-Technica launched last month.

Oppo launches its sleek magnetic power bank compatible with iPhone for just $20

Oppo had a busy day yesterday. Alongside its latest flagship phones, a high-end tablet, and a new wearable, the company also introduced a less flashy but still pretty useful gadget: the Oppo Magnetic Energy Card Air. It’s essentially a slim wireless power bank compatible with iPhones as well. 

OPPO Magnetic Energy Card Air 5000mAh launch specs price

The Magnetic Energy Card Air is part of Oppo’s new “Mag” series of magnetic accessories, which also includes the Magnetic Protective Case and Magnetic Dual Type-C Cable. 

All of them are designed to work within a growing ecosystem built around magnetic attachment. Think of it like MagSafe but for Oppo devices.

Oppo Magnetic Energy Card Air Overview

The power bank has a capacity of 5000mAh and can magnetically latch onto Oppo’s latest phones including the Find X8s, X8s+, and X8 Ultra. The idea here is simple, wireless charging without the usual bulk, cables, or overheating issues.

To tackle the heat, Oppo is using a new shell material paired it with active temperature control via an NTC resistor. Oppo says this helps “alleviate” heating during use.

Oppo Magnetic Energy Card Air 5000mAh

Interestingly, the Energy Card isn’t locked into Oppo’s ecosystem either. Since it uses magnetic wireless charging, it’s also compatible with iPhones. That makes it one of those cross-platform accessories that doesn’t force users into a single brand’s ecosystem.

There’s a small four-dot LED indicator at the bottom to show battery status, along with a USB-C port that supports both charging the bank (at 12W) and charging other devices (up to 10W output). That means you can plug in a pair of earbuds or a smartwatch when you’re not magnetically juicing up your phone.

The Oppo Magnetic Energy Card Air will go on sale in China from April 16 carrying a price tag of 149 yuan (around $20). It’s a compact, pocketable, cross-platform accessory for anyone who’s on the go and doesn’t want to juggle cords or bulky battery packs.

Oppo Find X8 Ultra launches with Snapdragon 8 Elite, five rear cameras including 1″ main sensor, and 6100mAh battery

Oppo launched the Dimensity 9400-powered Find X8 and X8 Pro towards the end of last year in China, and the Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered Find X8 Ultra finally joins the lineup in China. Of course, the naming suggests this is their best offering at present, but some of the specs (especially the camera hardware) are worth mentioning, even for a top-of-the-line 2025 flagship.

Oppo-FInd-X8-Ultra

But first things first, this phone looks and feels totally different from its predecessor, as Oppo has shifted to a completely flat design. This phone also houses two new buttons: a “shortcut button” in the top left corner (replacing the OG alert slider) and a “Quick Button” on the bottom left, which also happens to function very similarly to the iPhone 16 series’ “Capture Button”. The phone packs a total of five cameras on its back, most of which feature significantly larger sensors than those on its competitors.

The rear camera setup looks like this:

  • 50MP 1″ type main sensor with 1G7P lens on top that supports two-axis OIS
  • 50MP 3X periscope telephoto with 1/1.56″ sensor
  • 50MP 6x periscope telephoto with a 1/1/.95″ sensor
  • 50MP ultra-wide-angle camera with 120° wide viewing angle
  • 2MP True Chroma camera

Just for context, the 10MP 3x telephoto on the Galaxy S25 Ultra is tiny in comparison: 1/3.52″ as compared to 1/1.56″ of this flagship from Oppo. In fact, 1/1.56″ is the size of the main sensor on the Find X8. The 6x periscope telephoto is also noticeably larger than the 50MP 5X telephoto on the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Now, you might be thinking, smartphone imaging is also largely dependent on image processing, so what about that? Generative AI has also found one use case here, and it turns out the Oppo Find X8 Ultra is also using it wisely.

The rest of the specs are equally impressive: a 6.82″ 2K LTPO AMOLED display that reaches 1600 nits of full-screen brightness and 2500 nits of local peak brightness. It sits on top of an under-display ultrasonic fingerprint scanner.

Under the hood, the phone packs a 6100 mAh (vs 5910 mAh of the Find X8 Pro) high density Si/C battery, which supports 100W wired, and 50W wireless charging. All of it is protected under the IP69 dust and water resistant body. Even with the massive battery, this phone measures 8.78 mm in thickness and weighs 226 grams.

Pricing and availability:

As mentioned above, the phone is currently exclusive to China and will go on sale on April 16 in the home market. The prices for different variants are listed below:

  • 12GB + 256GB: CNY 6,499 (€795, £685, INR 76,000)
  • 16GB + 512GB: CNY 6,999 (€860, £740, INR 82,000)
  • 16GB + 1TB: CNY 7,999 (€980, £840, INR 94,000)

According to speculations, the Find X8 Ultra may remain exclusive to the home country.
