Xiaomi has added yet another smart home essential to its growing Mijia lineup — this time, it’s a space-saving three-door refrigerator priced at just 899 yuan (around $125). The Mijia 215L Three-Door Refrigerator is now available on JD.com and brings a blend of minimalist design, smart efficiency, and compact form factor that’s clearly targeted at small households and apartment dwellers.
Xiaomi Mijia 215L Refrigerator Specifications
Despite its slim footprint — just 505mm wide and taking up about 0.28 square meters of floor space — this fridge squeezes in a surprisingly spacious 215-liter capacity. The layout is split across three temperature zones: a 128L fridge compartment, a 30L soft-freeze middle section, and a 57L freezer. That’s more than enough room for two people’s weekly groceries, without eating into kitchen real estate.
Where it gets interesting is the control and cooling tech. The Mijia fridge offers five levels of electronic temperature adjustment — from 2°C to 8°C — giving users finer control over how their food is stored. Xiaomi’s energy-efficient compressor keeps the operation nearly silent, topping out at just 37dB, well below the national standard.
On the outside, the design is what you’d expect from Xiaomi — clean lines, subtle details. The one-piece molded body and seamless door panel help it blend in with modern interiors, while the hidden handles and top-mounted LED lighting add a touch of functionality without any visual clutter. The door opens a full 90 degrees, making it easier to load and clean, and the removable door seal is another nod to hygienic convenience.
Power consumption is modest too — about 0.66 kWh per day — earning it a Level 3 energy efficiency rating in China. That’s not cutting-edge, but definitely respectable for the price. It’s a fridge that quietly does the job without asking for much in return.
In related news, Xiaomi also recently launched the Mijia Refrigerator Pro 508L, a smart four-door fridge with dual cooling, -30°C deep freeze, and HyperOS support.

Krafton, the studio behind BGMI (Battlegrounds Mobile India) and PUBG Mobile, is facing legal action in India. The company has had a rocky relationship with the Indian government, and now, it is facing an FIR over user privacy concerns.
FIR filed against Krafton
Krafton Inc: The creators of PUBG Mobile/BGMI
The FIR against Krafton was filed by Santosh Torane, marking a legal dispute over digital privacy in India. TalkEsport managed to get the legal document related to the case which accuses Krafton India and four of its executives of violating an online service agreement. This agreement includes strict confidentiality clauses that allowed Torane to use Krafton’s game services. However, the FIR states that Krafton has violated these terms by disclosing his personal information and monetizing it.
Simply put, Krafton is basically facing action for illegally selling user information. The complainant alleges that confidential data was leaked and shared with external parties. This data was reportedly sold for a around 2,000 INR per subscriber. So Krafton was charged with criminal conspiracy (IPC 120-B), cheating (IPC 420), and violations under Sections 72, 72A, and 85 of the Information Technology Act, 2000. The court has now ordered the police to start investigation against these claims.
In response, Krafton India has filed two writ petitions in the Bombay High Court, which challenges the FIR and seeks to put a stop to this investigation. The studio is fighting for relief against these allegations and is contesting the legal proceedings. TalkEsport had reached out to Krafton officials and their PR for an official statement, but haven’t received any word from them so far.

In related news, the Motorola Razr 60 and Razr 60 Ultra had their complete design and color options revealed via renders. The Edge 60 and Edge 60 Pro also had their design, specs, and other finer details revealed via a TENAA listing. So Motorola is working on next gen mid range and flip phones as well as a new laptop.

Asus has expanded its AI PC lineup in India with the launch of two new laptops—the Zenbook S16 and the Vivobook 16. Both devices are powered by AMD’s latest Ryzen AI 7 350 processor and are designed to deliver AI-enhanced productivity and next-generation Copilot+ PC features. Let’s walk through the details here.
Asus Zenbook S16
The Zenbook S16 (UM5606KA) is the premium offering of the two. It features a 16-inch 3K OLED touchscreen with a 16:10 aspect ratio, a 120Hz refresh rate, 100% DCI-P3 gamut, and Dolby Vision support with 500 nits of HDR brightness. Despite its large screen, the laptop maintains a slim 1.1cm profile and a lightweight 1.5kg chassis, made out of CNC-machined C-part and a Ceraluminum lid.
Inside, the device runs on AMD’s Ryzen AI 7 350 processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, paired with a 50 TOPS-capable XDNA 2 NPU for AI-accelerated tasks. The Ryzen 7 350 is baked with AMD Radeon 860M iGPU while the memory option includes 24GB of LPDDR5X RAM and a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD.
The S16 has two USB4 Type-C ports, one HDMI 2.1 port, a USB 3.2 Type-A port, an SD card reader, and a 3.5mm audio jack for connectivity. Fueling the device is a 78Wh battery with support for fast Type-C charging.
Other features of the laptop include Dolby Atmos-enabled six-speaker audio, and IR facial recognition with Microsoft Pluton hardware security. As an AI-first laptop, it also has a dedicated Copilot key below which sits a large ErgoSense touchpad.
Vivobook 16
The Vivobook 16 (M1607KA) is a more affordable variant, but it brings the same Ryzen AI 7 350 processor and support for Copilot+ features. This is paired with 16GB of DDR5 RAM and a 512GB PCIe 4.0 SSD.
The affordability shows up in the rest of the hardware. You get a 16-inch IPS display with a 1920 x 1200 resolution, a 16:10 aspect ratio, 300 nits of peak brightness, and an anti-glare coating. It’s not as flashy as the OLED on the Zenbook, but it gets the basics right.
The chassis is designed for military-grade durability, and the device weighs 1.88 kg while measuring 1.79 cm thick. An added advantage here is that the hinge opens flat to 180 degrees, giving you a bit more flexibility in how you use it.
Asus hasn’t skimped on ports, either. There are two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C ports (with Power Delivery and display output support), an HDMI 2.1 port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
For audio, it features a stereo speaker setup with Dirac sound and SonicMaster tuning. All of this is powered by a 42Wh battery with 65W fast charging support.
Price and Availability
The ASUS Zenbook S16 is priced at ₹1,49,990 in India, while the Vivobook 16 is available for ₹75,990. Both laptops are available for purchase via Asus Exclusive Stores, Amazon, Flipkart, and select offline retailers.
From May 2025, your next smartphone from China could cost 10–54% more, all thanks to a new wave of U.S. tariffs and taxes targeting imported tech. If you’ve been eyeing a high-performance smartphone from brands like Xiaomi, OnePlus, OPPO, or Realme, the clock is ticking fast.
Under the Trump administration’s new trade enforcement measures, a second 10% tariff on Chinese goods will take effect, stacking on top of the initial 10% rate introduced back in February. That means a total of 20% tariffs on all Chinese electronics, including smartphones, tablets, and wearables.
A $1200 device today could quickly shoot up by $1540 or more in added fees once the new rate kicks in.
But that’s not all. The real price crunch comes on May 2, when the T86 customs clearance policy ends. This policy currently allows quick, tax-free shipping for orders under $800. When it expires, buyers could face a 34% import tax on top of tariffs, customs fees, and shipping delays. That’s a potential 54% total tax, making even mid-range phones more expensive overnight.
While the temporary reinstatement of the $800 De Minimis exemption (as of February 8) gives buyers a short window of relief, it’s just that, short. Customs is already preparing a stricter system to process and tax low-value shipments, and the grace period won’t last much longer.
So here’s the deal: Buy now, while stock lasts and duty-free rules are still in effect. Retailers like Giztop have many of these phones in warehouses, ready to ship, meaning you can lock in current prices and avoid the upcoming tax increase.
We’ve curated the list of top smartphones you can still grab at pre-tariff prices, perfect picks to lock in now before costs climb and inventories tighten.

Nothing’s sub-brand CMF has announced that its next launch event will take place on April 28, as confirmed through official social media channels. The event will showcase the CMF Phone 2 Pro, which marks the next chapter in CMF’s smartphone line-up, along with a new set of true wireless earbuds. Teasers have hinted at a refined design and improved camera hardware, but the company has yet to reveal full details.
CMF Phone 2 Pro: What to expect?
CMF Phone 2 Pro launch date
The introduction of the CMF Phone 2 Pro comes as a bit of a surprise, given that the company did not launch a Pro model last year. The CMF Phone 1, introduced in July 2024, was the only CMF-branded smartphone so far. This move to introduce a “Pro” version could suggest that a regular CMF Phone 2 might also be in the pipeline for a later date.
Early leaks point to some impressive upgrades. The CMF Phone 2 Pro is likely to feature a 6.77-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chipset. The phone is expected to ship with Nothing OS 3.1 based on Android 15 and carry an IP64 rating. The battery capacity could be 5,000mAh with support for 50W fast charging.
Alleged CMF Phone 2 Pro’s leaked image
Camera-wise, the device is rumored to feature a triple rear camera setup with a 50-megapixel primary sensor, an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. Shown above is a leaked render of the phone that is doing the rounds on social platforms.
Other devices set to launch alongside
Along with the smartphone, CMF will also unveil three new audio products — CMF Buds 2, CMF Buds 2a, and CMF Buds 2 Plus. These will expand the brand’s existing TWS portfolio, which already includes the CMF Buds Pro 2.

The design includes a massive round camera module and houses three Zeiss prime lenses — an upgraded 85mm APO telephoto lens, a 14mm ultra-wide with the industry’s largest sensor for its category, and a classic 35mm humanistic lens for documentary-style shots. All lenses feature Zeiss T* coating and OIS across the range.
Video features include full-focus 4K at 60fps with 10-bit Log and cinematic 4K at 120fps. There’s also a new physical camera control key and a customizable zoom flash system for DSLR-like portrait photography. A fourth camera sensor is also teased but not yet revealed.
Apart from packing stellar cameras, the X200 Ultra will feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, a 2K Zeiss Master Colour display with circular polarizer eye protection, ultrasonic fingerprint scanning that works even with wet fingers, and a large battery with wireless flash charging. Vivo says this phone will go beyond being just a “concert camera” and will dominate large-scale moments like sports and nature. As can be seen above, the X200 Ultra will be available in red, silver, and black.
For those unfamiliar, the X200 Ultra is set to launch with a slew of other devices on April 21 in China. There’s no clarity about its global launch yet.

Spring Break 2025 is calling, and let’s be real — your speaker might just be the MVP of the entire trip. Whether you’re beach-bound, poolside chilling, or packing the car for a weekend road trip, one thing’s certain: you need a speaker that won’t let you down when the beat drops. And when it comes to portable, party-proof audio, JBL continues to dominate the scene.
But with JBL’s lineup stretching from palm-sized tube speakers to full-on club-in-a-box setups, picking the right one isn’t as simple as “the louder, the better.” So we spent time combing through the latest models, examining their specs, and figuring out what actually matters during the most music-heavy week of the year.
Here’s our breakdown of the best JBL speakers for Spring Break 2025 — and why one of them is the perfect match for your vibe.
Let’s just get this out of the way: the Boombox 3 is the speaker for Spring Break. It’s not the smallest. Or the lightest. But if your goal is to show up and own the party, this is the one to beat. It’s basically a Bluetooth tank with woofers. It hits hard, sounds clean at full blast, and shrugs off water, sand, and bad vibes like it’s nothing.
You get a whopping 24 hours of battery life, a rugged IP67 build that can literally float in your pool, and an actual handle because, well, it’s big. And you’ll want to show it off. Inside, JBL’s three-way speaker system delivers deep, thunderous bass alongside crisp mids and highs. There’s no distortion at volume. Just pure, unrelenting sound that can fill a backyard — or battle the roar of the ocean on a crowded beach.
The Boombox 3 also supports JBL PartyBoost, so you can link it with other JBL speakers if you want to scale your sound. And yes, it has a 3.5mm aux-in for old-school plug-and-play. No gimmicks, just great sound that holds up anywhere.

2. JBL Xtreme 4
If you want most of the power but in a more shoulder-friendly form, the Xtreme 4 is the sweet spot. It weighs about half as much as the Boombox 3 and comes with a strap — a smart touch if you’re constantly on the move. It gets plenty loud, and thanks to dual woofers and JBL’s new AI Sound Boost, it can fill outdoor spaces better than most portables in its class.
It also lasts 24 hours on a charge and includes a power bank feature to keep your phone alive between beach selfies. You won’t get the same subwoofer-level bass of the Boombox 3, but for many, this is the smarter packable option.

3. JBL Charge 6
This one’s for the minimalist who still wants solid sound. The new Charge 6 hits the trifecta: great sound, ultra-durable IP68 rating, and a ridiculous 28-hour battery. It’s about the size of a tall water bottle, so it easily fits in your bag — and it doubles as a power bank via USB-C.
This year’s Charge adds a detachable strap, deeper bass thanks to redesigned radiators, and better drop protection. You won’t blast a whole crowd, but for smaller gatherings or on-the-go use, it’s nearly perfect.
The Flip 7 is the speaker you bring everywhere just in case the vibe needs saving. It’s lightweight, tough (IP68 again), and lasts 16 hours — more than enough for a hike or a beachside hang. The bass won’t blow anyone away, but the clarity and loudness are surprisingly solid for its size.
If you’re traveling light and just want a speaker that won’t get wrecked by the pool, this is your move.

5. JBL PartyBox 110
Want built-in lights, mic inputs, and literal 160W output? The PartyBox 110 is your mobile DJ setup. It’s huge, splashproof (not waterproof), and pushes big-room energy into any space — backyard, balcony, or bonfire. It’s not hiking material (it weighs over 20 pounds), but if you’re driving to your destination and want that full-party atmosphere, it’s unbeatable.

6. Final Verdict
If you want the one JBL speaker that does it all — rugged, loud, long-lasting, portable enough — the JBL Boombox 3 is your Spring Break MVP. It’s the kind of speaker that makes people ask, “Whoa, where’d you get that?”
But if size or price is a factor, the Xtreme 4 and Charge 6 are killer alternatives that won’t leave you wishing you’d brought something bigger.
The Snapdragon 8 Eliteand the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 share a name lineage but aim at very different slices of the mobile market. On paper, the 8 Elite is a showstopper. It’s Qualcomm’s most advanced SoC that’s pulling out all the stops with raw performance, AI smarts, and multimedia power.
The 8s Gen 4, meanwhile, is a leaner, more affordable chip that borrows elements from its more powerful sibling while making a few strategic trade-offs.
If you’re trying to decide whether the 8s Gen 4 will be “good enough” or whether you need to stick with the full-fat 8 Elite, it helps to look at how these two chipsets compare beyond just the marketing headlines.
At the heart of this comparison is custom silicon—and that’s where the 8 Elite pulls away. Qualcomm’s decision to go with its own Oryon CPU cores in the 8 Elite is a big move. These aren’t just tweaks to off-the-shelf ARM designs; they’re purpose-built, high-frequency (up to 4.47 GHz) powerhouses that deliver up to 45% more CPU performance and 44% better efficiency than the previous generation.
The 8s Gen 4, on the other hand, uses the familiar Kryo cores, which are essentially optimized ARM cores. It has a Cortex-X4 prime core clocked at 3.2GHz along with seven Cortex-A720 cores—three running at 3.0GHz, two at 2.80GHz, and two at 2.02GHz.
Qualcomm claims that this setup delivers 31% better performance than its predecessor while using 39% less power. But it shouldn’t come as a surprise that it’s not in the same league as the 8 Elite.
2. AI and On-Device Intelligence
Both chips are built with AI in mind, but again, there’s a divide in scale. The Snapdragon 8 Elite uses a Hexagon NPU with improved performance per watt and support for a wider range of operations (INT4 to FP16). It also includes on-device personalization, multimodal AI processing, and the Sensing Hub for better context-aware features.
The 8s Gen 4 also has a Hexagon NPU, and it’s no slouch. It gets a 2x memory boost, which helps with memory bandwidth and efficiency. But it’s missing some of the more advanced AI processing features found in the Elite, including higher-precision data support and some of the more advanced Gen AI integrations for things like on-device assistants or real-time personalization.
3. Graphics and Gaming
The 8 Elite is built for high-end mobile gaming. Its Adreno GPU claims up to 40% improved performance and 40% better power efficiency, thanks to a revised “sliced architecture” that balances heat and battery drain.
It supports real-time hardware-accelerated ray tracing, Snapdragon Game Super Resolution 2.0, and Adreno Frame Motion Engine 2.0, which doubles frame rates with minimal power impact. You also get support for Unreal Engine 5.3 with Nanite which allows developers to push console-quality visuals onto a handheld.
The 8s Gen 4 supports many of these same features including ray tracing, Game Super Resolution, and Adaptive Performance Engine. But it doesn’t get the full Unreal 5.3 support or Frame Motion Engine.
The GPU in the 8s Gen 4 also has the same sliced architecture as the 8 Elite. It’s just that the former has two slices versus the Elite chip’s three which makes the difference in performance.
4. Connectivity
The 8 Elite features Qualcomm’s top-tier Snapdragon X80 modem with peak download speeds of 10Gbps and support for 6x carrier aggregation, dual SIM, and even UWB and Wi-Fi 7 via FastConnect 7900. It’s also backed by Qualcomm’s 5G AI Suite Gen 3 which dynamically adjusts connection parameters to save power and reduce latency.
The 8s Gen 4 makes do with a lower-tier Snapdragon 5G Modem-RF System. Its peak download speed caps at 4.2 Gbps, and has a more limited 4×4 MIMO setup. Still, it includes Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0 via Qualcomm FastConnect, along with support for Snapdragon Seamless for cross-device connectivity.
5. Imaging and Multimedia
Both chips use Qualcomm’s Spectra AI ISP, but the 8 Elite leans harder into real-time AI features. It supports real-time semantic segmentation, AI-based relighting, and ultra-low-light video.
The silicon is also compliant with Truepic’s C2PA standard. It is a way to verify the source and history (provenance) of digital content like images, videos, and audio.
The 8s Gen 4 offers a lighter version of these tools—Night Vision 2.0, up to 250 segmentation layers, and similar HDR support—but lacks some of the Elite’s real-time visual processing capabilities. You still get 8K video and impressive low-light results, but professional-grade creators will get more headroom with the Elite.
6. Display, Audio, and Charging
The 8 Elite supports QHD+ displays at 240Hz, 8K external displays, and HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and HDR Vivid formats. It also includes Snapdragon Sound, aptX Lossless, and Quick Charge 5 for fast charging.
The 8s Gen 4 covers most of these areas including Snapdragon Sound, HDR video formats, Wi-Fi audio (XPAN), and Quick Charge 5 support, but it lacks support for external 8K displays.
7. Final Thoughts
At the end of the day, the Snapdragon 8 Elite is a no-compromise SoC built for devices that aim to be the best at everything. Whether it’s gaming, camera, connectivity, or AI features.
The 8s Gen 4, meanwhile, takes many of those premium experiences and trims the fat. It’ll power more affordable high-end devices (think $500–$800 phones) while keeping gaming, AI, and camera capabilities competitive enough for most users.
In short, the 8 Elite is the chip you get when you want everything. The 8s Gen 4 is the one you get when you want just enough. Which one makes more sense? That depends entirely on your priorities, and how much you’re willing to pay for them.

Tecno first teased a mystery Pova phone back in February, showcasing a bold new design with a triangular camera module and LED accents. While no official details followed at the time, it now appears the brand is finally gearing up to launch the Pova 7 series in India this month. While the brand has yet to confirm the phone officially, a teaser video obtained by 91mobiles via industry sources offers a closer look at the handset’s design. The video also appears to be linked to an earlier teaser that Tecno shared back in January this year.
The teaser video reveals the upcoming Pova phone with a striking triangular-shaped rear camera island. At least two camera sensors are arranged vertically alongside an LED flash. The camera module appears to sit above an orange-colored strip, which might house the power button on the side frame.
The back panel is flat, with a boxy overall silhouette and sharp edges, aligning with recent design trends. The video is accompanied by the tagline “A portal to the supreme”, suggesting a performance-focused phone.
Interestingly, the design shown in this clip closely resembles what Tecno had teased in January and February — particularly the LED-lit triangular module seen in earlier promotional visuals. This rear LED layout could function similarly to the RGB Arc Interface seen on previous Pova devices such as the Pova 5 Pro and Pova 6 Pro.
Although Tecno hasn’t confirmed the name, the teaser’s lyrics hint at the moniker “Tecno Pova Curve.” This could indicate a fresh identity within the Pova 7 lineup. If aligned with its predecessors, the new Pova model is likely to bring upgrades over the Pova 6 Pro and Pova 6 Neo 5G, both of which launched last year in India. These earlier phones offered large batteries, MediaTek Dimensity chipsets, and high-resolution cameras.

The Galaxy S25 Edge has been in the conversation for quite a while, which was rescheduled to launch on May 13. Now, thanks to a new leak, we have the expected pricing of the phone, and it could be a bit difficult to swallow.
Specification wise, the phone includes only two cameras on the back. And while the slick form factor may convince you to accept the smaller battery capacity, a significant proportion of recently launched Android devices already pack massive battery capacity thanks to the high density Si/C battery tech, which Samsung could use for this slim phone for a little bit of extra cost.
Galaxy S25 Edge is more expensive than the almost perfect S25+
The Galaxy S25 Edge has been spotted on Italian online store Zanetti, and the 256GB and 512GB models are priced at €1,362 and €1,488 respectively. This is higher than the initially expected pricing for the European markets. For comparison, the 256GB and 512GB variants of the S25+ are sold for €1,247 and €1,372 in the region. So the S25 Edge will cost over a €100 more than the S25+—as far as this listing is to be believed.
Notably, prices can vary in different markets, so you cannot really convert the pricing for your region to get to know how much you need to save. But it at least offers us an idea of the price tag relative to the other models.
The raw performance capability of this phone has improved over time: it scored 2969 and 9486 in single and multi-core Geekbench CPU tests. However, it doesn’t really reflect sustained performance under a heavy workload. The phone is slimmer, and the cooling system is likely inferior to the one on the S25+. So we will have to wait for the real-life tests. On the software side, the phone is expected co pre-installed with One UI 7, the stable version of which is finally rolling out to some older flagships starting today.
On April 10, Oppo will unveil three new flagship phones in China. These include the Find X8s, X8s+, and X8 Ultra. The Ultra edition has already appeared in the database of China’s TENAA certification platform with all its key specifications and ID images. Now, the Find X8s and X8s Plus have also emerged in TENAA’s database, revealing their major specs and images. Continue reading ahead to know about the X8s, and click here to know the details about the X8s Plus.
