Xiaomi is sweetening the deal for its latest smartphone buyers with a fresh promotion. The company has confirmed that owners of the Xiaomi 15, 15 Pro and 15 Ultra can now claim four months of Spotify Premium at no cost, which expands its partnership with the streaming giant. This perk brings ad-free music, offline listening, and more to Xiaomi fans across a slew of global markets.
The offer isn’t exclusive to the Xiaomi 15 series, though
The offer spans a wide range of devices. Four months of Spotify Premium are up for grabs with the Xiaomi Mix Flip, Xiaomi 14T and 14T Pro, Xiaomi 14 and 14 Ultra, plus the Xiaomi 13T and 13T Pro and, of course, the Xiaomi 15 series.
Meanwhile, three months are available for the Redmi Note 12, 13, and 14 series, alongside accessories like Xiaomi Buds 5, Buds 5 Pro, Xiaomi Watch 2, Watch 2 Pro, and OpenWear Stereo. Entry-level devices such as the Redmi 13C, 13C 5G, Redmi 13, Redmi A3, A3x, and Redmi Buds 6 variants snag two months.
The promotion covers the following markets: France, Germany, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Poland, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkiye, the United Kingdom, Brazil, Nigeria, Kazakhstan, Egypt, Colombia, Philippines, Peru, Hungary, Austria, Argentina, Greece, Chile, Singapore, Czechia, United Arab Emirates, Vietnam, South Korea, and Serbia. However, earbuds and smartwatch eligibility is limited to Croatia, Lithuania, Moldova, Paraguay, and Panama.
This tiered approach ties the perk’s duration to device price tiers, a clever nod to the company’s value-driven ethos. For new Spotify users with a qualifying Xiaomi device, it’s a solid bonus, which enhances the appeal of their purchase with months of uninterrupted tunes.

With just a few months between their releases, the Xiaomi 15 (October 2024) and Xiaomi 15 Ultra (February 2025) may seem like close siblings, but the differences go far beyond just a minor upgrade. The Xiaomi 15 set a strong foundation as a flagship, delivering top-tier performance at a competitive price. Then came the Ultra, pushing boundaries with cutting-edge cameras, a bigger battery, and premium features designed for power users.
But is the Ultra’s higher price worth the leap, or does the Xiaomi 15 still offer the best balance of performance and value? Let’s find out in this comparison.
Xiaomi 15 Ultra and Xiaomi 15 share premium build quality, but the Ultra version stands out with a more rugged design featuring aerospace-grade glass fiber and an eco-leather option, making it feel more luxurious. Both have IP68 water and dust resistance, but the Ultra’s materials offer better durability. In terms of display, both use LTPO AMOLED panels with a 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 3200 nits. However, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra edges ahead with a larger 6.73-inch screen and a sharper 1440p resolution, making content more immersive compared to the Xiaomi 15’s 6.36-inch 2670p display. The Ultra also features the upgraded Xiaomi Shield Glass 2.0, adding extra protection.
Xiaomi 15’s slightly smaller form makes it more comfortable for one-handed use, but for those who prefer a more expansive and immersive experience, the Ultra’s display is the clear winner.

2. Specifications
Xiaomi 15
Both devices share the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, ensuring flagship-level performance. The Xiaomi 15 Ultra has more advanced memory configurations, offering up to 1TB storage with 16GB RAM and using the faster UFS 4.1, whereas the Xiaomi 15 maxes out at 1TB but with slightly slower UFS 4.0.
Battery-wise, the Ultra offers a larger 5410mAh (global) or 6000mAh (China) battery compared to the Xiaomi 15’s 5240mAh (global) or 5400mAh (China) capacity. While both support 90W wired charging, the Ultra pulls ahead with an 80W wireless charging capability compared to the Xiaomi 15’s 50W. This makes the Ultra a better choice for power users who need longer battery life and faster wireless charging.
3. Camera
Xiaomi 15 Ultra
The Xiaomi 15 Ultra dominates in the camera department, featuring a quad-camera setup with a massive 200MP periscope lens capable of 4.3x optical zoom, alongside its 50MP main, telephoto, and ultrawide lenses. The Xiaomi 15, while still powerful, has a triple-camera system with a 50MP main sensor and a 2.6x optical zoom telephoto lens.
The Ultra’s larger 1-inch main sensor ensures better low-light performance and sharper details. Additionally, its advanced TOF 3D depth sensor and optional 67mm filter ring holder make it more appealing to photography enthusiasts.
If camera quality is a priority, the Ultra easily justifies its higher price tag. However, for casual users, the Xiaomi 15 still offers excellent image quality with Leica tuning.
4. Pricing
Xiaomi 15
At $1,099, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra commands a significant premium over the Xiaomi 15, which starts at just $669. The Ultra’s additional cost is justified by its superior camera system, higher-resolution display, and enhanced battery capabilities.
However, for those who want flagship performance without the premium price tag, the Xiaomi 15 offers tremendous value. The $430 price gap means users should consider if they truly need the Ultra’s added features or if the Xiaomi 15 provides enough power and versatility for everyday use.
The Xiaomi 15 Ultra brings several unique features, including a quad-camera setup with a 200MP periscope lens, a larger 1-inch main sensor, and advanced computational photography features. It also offers superior wireless charging at 80W and a more durable aerospace-grade build.
Another standout feature is the two-way satellite communication, which can be crucial in emergency situations. While the Xiaomi 15 lacks these high-end extras, it still delivers top-tier performance, a premium design, and an excellent camera system at a much lower price.
If you prioritize cutting-edge features and the best camera experience, the Ultra is the obvious choice. However, for most users, the Xiaomi 15 strikes a better balance between price and performance.

Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 has already been rumored to use TSMC’s third-generation 3nm process, known as N3P. Now, a new leak suggests it won’t be the only Qualcomm chipset on this node.
Qualcomm’s expanding 3nm lineup
According to reliable leaker Digital Chat Station (DCS), another Qualcomm chipset, codenamed SM8845, will also be built on TSMC’s 3nm fabrication. While its exact identity remains unclear at the moment, it could be the successor to the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, which is expected to launch soon.
An early report hinted that SM8845 will feature a fully custom architecture, and today’s leak reinforces that claim. DCS says the chipset will use Qualcomm’s self-developed Oryon cores which if true will distinguish it from the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 that is expected to stick with ARM’s standard core designs.
Moreover, since the 8s Gen 4 relies on ARM cores, it likely won’t carry the Elite branding that Qualcomm has reserved for its custom-core chips. But if SM8845 does indeed feature Oryon cores, it could end up as another Elite-branded SoC.
Performance-wise, a previous report claimed that SM8845 is designed to match the benchmark scores of the Snapdragon 8 Elite (SM8750). It’s also expected to debut in the Redmi K90.
Dimensity 9500 and Dimensity 9450
Beyond Qualcomm, the leak also shares new details on MediaTek’s upcoming chips. According to Digital Chat Station, the flagship Dimensity 9500 will also be built on TSMC’s 3nm process.
More interestingly, it is said to be accompanied by another chip called the Dimensity 9450 which will use the same fabrication technology. The similarities might go beyond just the manufacturing process, as both chipsets are reportedly designed with a big-core architecture.
According to reports, both the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 and Dimensity 9500 might arrive early this year. MediaTek is expected to launch the Dimensity 9500 around mid-2025, while Qualcomm is might unveil the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 in early October.

Samsung is now bringing more clarity to the One UI 7 release schedule. It has now detailed when and which Galaxy devices will get the One UI 7 update. So now, we’ve more clarity on when to expect the update to hit our phones.
Samsung’s Czech Republic website has published (via) a detailed One UI 7 rollout plan. The rollout will begin on April 10 for the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy Z Fold 6, and Galaxy Z Flip 6. A week later, the update will expand to the Galaxy S24 FE, Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy Z Fold 5, and Galaxy Z Flip 5.
The update will then expand to the Galaxy S22 series and Galaxy S23 FE in the following weeks.
Samsung has also revealed the update rollout plan for the Galaxy tablets. According to which, the Galaxy Tab S10 series models will get the update in mid-April 2025. A week later, the Galaxy Tab S9 series will join the party. The Galaxy Tab S8 series models will get the One UI 7 update towards the end of April. Samsung says other Galaxy tablets will get the update in May 2025.
This One UI 7 rollout plan was published on Samsung’s Czech Republic website, meaning it applies specifically to that region. However, Samsung may follow a similar schedule for the US, as the rollout there is also set to begin on April 10. That said, there’s no official confirmation that both regions will follow the exact same timeline.
Samsung’s recent handling of One UI 7 updates has raised some doubts. Last week, the company announced the One UI 7 release date for the US, only to remove the post shortly after. While it was republished the next day (without any changes), this inconsistency has made users question whether Samsung is fully prepared for the rollout.
Additionally, the company has backtracked on One UI 7 promises in the past, so the Czech Republic schedule may not necessarily align with Samsung’s plans for other countries.
A week after the launch of the Infinix Note 50 Pro+ 5G smartphone in the global market, the brand has now launched the Note 50x 5G+ smartphone for its Indian customers. The Note 50x 5G+ is a budget-range smartphone that packs some serious power under its hood.
Infinix Note 50x 5G+ features
The Note 50x 5G features a 6.67-inch HD+ LCD display offering a 120Hz refresh rate and up to 672 nits peak brightness. The phone runs on MediaTek’s 4nm Dimensity 7300 Ultimate chipset, which supports 90fps gaming. It comes with up to 8GB of LPDDR4x RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.2 storage, expandable via microSD.
The device runs XOS 15 based on Android 15 and includes features like Floating Window, Dynamic Bar, and specific modes for gaming, privacy (Peek Proof), and child safety. Infinix has committed to two Android version updates and three years of security patches.
AI is used across several areas, including photography and software functions. AIGC Portrait Mode is available for the camera, while tools like AI Wallpaper Generator, Note Assistant, and the Folax voice assistant support daily tasks. The AI Gallery includes an Eraser, Cut-out, and Search functions. Google’s Circle to Search is also integrated. The phone features a 50MP main camera with f/1.6 aperture and 4K video support, along with an 8MP front camera.
The Note 50x 5G+ has MIL-STD-810H certification for durability and an IP64 rating for dust and water resistance. It has a 5500mAh battery that supports 45W wired charging (adapter included), 10W reverse wireless charging and bypass charging to manage heat during use. Infinix states that the battery is designed to retain 80% of its original capacity after 2,300 charge cycles.
Design options include a vegan leather finish in Sea Breeze Green and metallic finishes in Titanium Grey and Enchanted Purple. Connectivity options include 5G bands (n1/n3/n5/n8/n28b/n38/n40/n41/n77/n78), Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, an IR blaster, stereo speakers, USB Type-C audio, and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor.
Pricing & availability
The phone will be available on Flipkart starting April 3, 2025. Pricing is set at ₹11,499 for the 6GB+128GB model and ₹12,999 for the 8GB + 128GB variant. Launch offers include a ₹1,000 discount for ICICI Bank cardholders and exchange deals.
When you think of Xiaomi, what comes to mind first? The Xiaomi 12S Ultra? Perhaps the Xiaomi 15 series phones? Or could it be the Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro? We unboxed this tablet two months ago to take a quick look. It features significant upgrades from the 6 Pro in several areas: the display is much better, it has the latest system, and it’s equipped with powerful AI features. However, it still faces some issues.
This model retains the same design as before, featuring an aluminum back and frame. It feels very much like an iPad when you hold it. The size of the Pad 7 Pro lies between the 6 Pro and 6S Pro, and it’s surprisingly lightweight.
It is available in three colors and has two speakers located at the top and bottom. However, compared to the 6S Pro, you’ll see that the 6S Pro has six speakers. It still supports Dolby Vision Atmos, though.
The power button remains on top and facilitates fingerprint unlock. At the bottom, there is a Type-C charging port. However, I wish Xiaomi would align the charging port and speakers at the same level. Wouldn’t that look so much nicer? The volume buttons and the slot for charging the stylus are on the right side. The magnet is just right; you can gently place the pen, and it sticks perfectly.
On the back, there’s the camera module. I’m not a huge fan of it unless it’s on a phone because when placed flat on a table without a case, it wobbles. But if you share this concern like I do, just use a protective case. I was hoping there would be a SIM card slot, but there isn’t.
Display:
It’s got an 11.2-inch screen. The 3:2 aspect ratio gives you more room to watch videos or movies, and it’s perfect for reading and writing. Plus, it’s an eye-protecting screen with that German TÜV triple certification.
Now, it’s still an IPS screen, and I remember people asking Xiaomi, “Why still IPS on the 7 Pro?” Lots of other brands are all about OLED screens, but choosing IPS doesn’t mean it’s bad. IPS screens are better for color accuracy, viewing angles, and they last longer. When it comes to watching movies, this tablet is top-notch. Whether you’re lying down or watching on the side, the picture’s always clear.
System:
So, HyperOS 1 was all about setting the foundation and working on the behind-the-scenes features. But HyperOS 2 is stepping up the parts you can feel and use. The cross-system and cross-screen experience still lets you connect your phone and tablet without the internet, it’s a one-touch connection.
You can control your phone right from the tablet, and moving files around for work is a breeze. Just drag and drop them onto the tablet. When you need to check your phone messages, just tap to open a little window, and you can drag it to the side to make it a tiny icon.
But I have a suggestion for Xiaomi: I hope you can operate the phone screen after it’s connected. Right now, the phone interface only shows up on the right and can’t be moved around. If I want to see what it’s covering, I need to minimize it. If you could drag it around like a split screen, it would be much better.
Plus, the tablet’s interface is way smoother than before, fixing all those laggy and frame-drop issues. No lag when you’re opening and closing apps fast. Even that old problem of lag after splitting the screen is gone. The animations when you slide the notification and control center are super smooth, which is awesome.
AI Features:
HyperOS 2 has a lot of AI in daily use, even in the basic wallpaper settings. It uses AI to make static photos move. There are landscapes, cities, and plants, you can pick pics from your album and make them into dynamic wallpapers. And then there’s AI Writing, AI Translate, AI Voice Commands, all that typical AI app stuff.
But I like the AI Art in Mi Canvas. Unlike other brands, it helps you create. Let’s say you draw an apple and use AI Art; you can pick from seven styles, and each one gives you three drawings. You can download them straight to your album or use them right away.
Unfortunately, this app is not great for professional painting. First off, no layers. Second, not many brush types, which puts it behind Huawei’s GoPaint and iPad’s Procreate. If you’re using it for drawing, it’s more for quick sketches and everyday doodles. Just like the 6S Pro, the split-screen function lets you have up to four apps open at once.
Accessories:
When it comes to drawing or writing, the latest focus stylus has awesome pressure sensitivity and low latency. But the pen’s output stability could be better when you’re writing or drawing slowly. Overall, with the latest floating keyboard, creating and working on this tablet is pretty sweet. The keyboard connection is super fast, adjusts from 0° to 124° seamlessly, and has a full-area mechanical pressure touchpad. The typing feel is solid too. But you have to buy these accessories separately.
Performance:
This time around, there is a new chip, with the Pad 7 Pro jumping from Gen 2 to Gen 3. But even with the new chip, the CPU and GPU performance are not as great as I hoped. It can keep at around 60FPS in Genshin Impact on max settings, but when you hit those complex maps in Star Rail, it starts dropping frames badly.
And the battery drains fast during those times. It’s a common problem with most tablets these days. The scores on Geekbench 6, 3D Mark, and AnTuTu look good, but this Gen3 might be a bit worse than the last one in some tests.
Camera:
Now, even though I griped about the camera before, the photos and videos it takes are top-notch. Check out these samples… They’re good enough for most everyday shooting. Plus, the Pad 7 Pro’s specs are higher than the Pad 7 for front camera video recording. But don’t you think it looks a lot like the camera module on the Xiaomi 14?
Battery and Charging:
The one big difference with the 7 Pro is the battery life. This time, the Pad 7 Pro has an 8850mAh battery and can charge fast with 67W wired charging.
Conclusion:
All in all, the Xiaomi tablet still needs specific tuning here and there, like fixing up some Mi Home software and making the system smoother with a more aesthetic UI. But the price and how useful it is are the big reasons consumers might buy it. The Pad 7 Pro is a real bang-for-your-buck option for learning, working, and chilling out with some entertainment.
MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400+ finally has a launch date: April 11. That’s the same day as the company’s Dimensity Developer Conference in Shenzhen, China, setting the stage for its official debut.
The Dimensity 9400+ will keep the same core architecture as the 9400 but dial up the clock speed. In particular, the prime Cortex-X925 core could see a speed bump to 3.7GHz, up from the 3.62GHz on the standard 9400.
This will be joined by the three Cortex-X4 cores at 3.30GHz and four Cortex-A720 cores, which now operate at 2.4GHz instead of 2.0GHz. The GPU remains the ARM Immortalis G925 MP12.
MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ Geekbench
The chip has also surfaced in Geekbench confirming these specs. It scored 2,770 in single-core and 8,500 in multi-core tests. That translates to a 6% improvement in single-core performance and a 5% boost in multi-core, compared to the standard Dimensity 9400’s averages of 2,605 and 8,078, respectively, according to NotebookCheck.
With the official announcement, several smartphone makers are preparing to launch devices powered by the Dimensity 9400+. A leaked list suggests the following models will feature the new chip:
Among them, the Oppo Find X8S, Find X8S+, and Vivo X200S are expected to launch in China as early as April. The iQOO Neo 10S could follow in May, while Realme, OnePlus, and Redmi’s offerings are also slated to debut in the first half of the year.
Meanwhile, Xiaomi is reportedly preparing the Xiaomi 15T Pro, expected to launch a few months later in global markets. If the company follows last year’s trend—where the Xiaomi 14T Pro featured the Dimensity 9300+—the 15T Pro will likely carry the Dimensity 9400+ as well.

Samsung is gearing up to launch its next-generation tablets, the Galaxy Tab S10 and S10 FE+, and a fresh leak has provided a detailed look at what to expect. Shared by tipster Arsene Lupin on X, the leak outlines key specifications, AI-driven features, and European pricing of the upcoming devices.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 and S10 FE+ Specifications
The Galaxy Tab S10 FE features a 10.9-inch WUXGA+ LCD panel with a 90Hz refresh rate, while the S10 FE+ steps up to a larger 13.1-inch WQXGA+ LCD. Both tablets retain a sturdy aluminum build and come with IP68 certification for water and dust resistance.
Under the hood, Samsung is using its in-house Exynos 1580 chipset, a 4nm octa-core processor on both models. While this isn’t a flagship-tier SoC, it should be capable enough for everyday tasks, multimedia consumption, and light productivity work.
Moreover, Samsung has equipped the standard Tab S10 FE with an 8,000mAh battery, while the S10 FE+ gets a larger 10,090mAh cell. Both support 45W fast charging, though it’s unlikely you will get a charger in the box.
As for the cameras, the rear sports a 13MP lens with autofocus and an LED flash. Up front, there’s a 12MP ultrawide shooter with a 120-degree field of view.
The company is also doubling down on AI integration with the Galaxy Tab S10 FE and S10 FE+. The leak mentions several new AI-powered tools aimed at boosting productivity and creativity. One of them is Google’s Circle to Search. And of course, both tablets will support the S Pen out of the box.
Pricing and Availability
According to the leak, the Galaxy Tab S10 FE will start at €579 for the base 8GB/128GB Wi-Fi model. The 12GB/256GB Wi-Fi variant bumps the price to €679, while the 8GB/128GB 5G version also comes in at €679. Opting for the top-tier 12GB/256GB 5G model will set you back €779.
Meanwhile, the higher-end Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ starts at €749 for the 8GB/128GB Wi-Fi model, with the 12GB/256GB Wi-Fi version priced at €849. If you want 5G, expect to pay €849 for 8GB/128GB and €949 for 12GB/256GB.
Nothing is back with another round of community-driven design. Following last year’s Gold iF Design Award winner glow-in-the-dark Phone (2a) Community Edition, the company is now inviting users to help design a special edition of its latest mid-range device, the Phone (3a).
For those unfamiliar, the Community Edition isn’t just a new colorway or a limited-edition variant. Instead, it’s a collaborative effort where fans play a direct role in designing elements of the phone, its accessories, and even its marketing.
Nothing Phone (3a) Community Edition Briefs
There are four stages for the 2025 Community Edition project, which includes:
Hardware Design: Creating a unique visual identity for the Phone (3a).
Software Design: Last year, this was limited to designing wallpapers, but this time, it includes new widgets and a clock icon pack.
Accessory Design: A new addition where participants design an exclusive collectible or accessory to ship with the Community Edition.
Marketing Campaign: Proposing key visuals, launch moments, or event ideas to promote the phone.
Want to get in on the action? You’ll need to submit a proposal in one of these categories, and only a select few will be chosen. Once submissions close on April 23rd, the Nothing community will vote for 24 hours to help pick the best ideas, after which internal juries will select four winners to bring their concepts to life. For added incentive, Nothing is awarding each winner a £1,000 cash prize.
The Community Edition is an excellent platform to showcase your skills and get your work in front of a massive audience. Whether you’re a designer, developer, or marketer, it’s a huge opportunity for exposure. In short, it’s a great way to market yourself while working on a real-world project. So, if you’ve got the skills—and a great idea—now’s the time to jump in.

Reliable tipster Ice Universe has confirmed that the image belongs to the actual Find X8 Ultra, indicating that it is not fake. It also has “PKJ110” mentioned on the label, which is the model number of the standard version of the X8 Ultra.
The phone features a round camera module equipped with a pair of periscope telephoto cameras placed at the top and right. At the centre of the camera island is the Hasselblad logo, and the remaining two sensors are the primary camera and the ultra-wide lens. There’s an LED flash positioned at the top-left corner. This model appears to be the Morning Light colour option, which has a light pink finish. It will also be available in two other shades, Moonlight White and Starry Black.
According to reports, the Find X8 Ultra will feature an OIS-assisted 50-megapixel LYT-900 primary camera, a 50-megapixel IMX882 ultra-wide lens, a 50-megapixel IMX906 periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom and OIS support, and a 50-megapixel IMX882 6x periscope snapper with OIS support.

The Mac Mini has always been the quiet rebel of Apple’s hardware lineup. It doesn’t have the iconic silhouette of the iMac, the portability of a MacBook, or the brute-force power of a Mac Pro. But what it does have is staying power—and purpose. Since its debut in 2005, the Mac Mini has represented something rare in Apple’s world: modularity and freedom. You bring your own monitor, your own keyboard and mouse, and the Mini does the rest.
That simplicity is exactly why it has remained relevant. The Mac Mini has always stood for accessibility and adaptability. And now, with the introduction of the M4 model, Apple has made it more powerful—and more compelling—than ever.
A Major Redesign That Actually Matters
The M4-powered 2024 version introduces the first significant redesign in over a decade, shrinking the iconic desktop down to a 5-by-5-inch square that stands just two inches tall. That’s smaller than most desktop speakers and roughly the footprint of a large coaster. And yet, Apple has somehow stuffed more performance and functionality into this pint-sized shell than any Mac Mini before it.
The new design doesn’t just look minimal; it enables flexibility. Whether you want to slide it under a monitor, tuck it behind a TV, or throw it into a backpack, the new Mac Mini feels like a product that’s finally living up to its name. But this isn’t just about size—it’s about utility. For the first time, Apple has added front-facing USB-C ports and a headphone jack, solving a long-standing annoyance. Meanwhile, the back still hosts HDMI, Ethernet, and Thunderbolt 4 (or 5, on the M4 Pro), so you’re not losing out on I/O.
Sure, the relocated power button underneath the device is questionable at best, but considering the machine is silent, rarely needs to be rebooted, and is feather-light, most users probably won’t care.
Performance That’s No Joke
The big story here isn’t just the design—it’s what’s under the hood. The base Mac Mini now ships with Apple’s M4 chip, featuring a 10-core CPU, 10-core GPU, and a 16-core Neural Engine delivering up to 38 trillion operations per second. Paired with 16GB of unified memory (finally, no more 8GB base models), it’s not just fast—it’s Mac Studio fast, at least in single-core tasks.
In benchmarks, the M4 model posts Geekbench 6 single-core scores north of 3,800, beating the M2 Ultra in raw single-threaded speed. That’s a wild thing to say about a machine that starts at $599. For comparison, the entry-level iMac with the same chip costs more than twice as much.
And if you need even more juice, the M4 Pro model is available with up to a 14-core CPU and 20-core GPU. It also brings Thunderbolt 5, 64GB memory support, and better performance across GPU-heavy workloads like 3D rendering or advanced video editing. For many pro users who previously defaulted to the Mac Studio, this new Mac Mini might now be the smarter, more affordable choice.
Gaming and AI
Apple hasn’t been known for gaming, but with the M4 chip’s hardware-accelerated ray tracing and Metal 3 support, that might be starting to change. Titles like Resident Evil 4 run at a smooth 60fps at 1080p on the base model—an unthinkable feat on a Mac just a few years ago. It’s not a PlayStation killer, but it’s a meaningful step toward serious Mac gaming.
Meanwhile, the Mac Mini is built to handle Apple Intelligence, the new suite of AI tools set to roll out in macOS Sequoia. Thanks to the M4’s Neural Engine, AI features like image cleanup, voice transcription, and on-device generation should run smoothly and securely, without relying on the cloud. And with 16GB of memory standard, multitasking and future AI integrations are much more viable than ever before.
Value That’s Hard to Beat
At $599, the Mac Mini M4 (check out our full review) feels like a statement. It’s not just Apple’s cheapest desktop—it’s probably the most cost-effective entry point into the entire Apple ecosystem. You’re getting the same chip as devices that cost more than double, in a form factor that’s more versatile and future-ready.
Sure, Apple’s upgrade pricing is still painful—adding more RAM or SSD storage quickly drives the price up. But here’s the thing: you can get an external SSD for $100 and call it a day. That’s the hidden strength of the Mac Mini: it’s modular in all the ways you need it to be, without locking you into a screen, keyboard, or mouse.

Recently, China’s TENAA certification approved the Motorola Razr 60 Ultra, revealing all its major specs. Now, the Razr 60 has surfaced in TENAA’s database, disclosing its entire specifications and images. Here’s a look at everything that has surfaced through its Chinese certification.
Motorola Razr 60 specifications (rumoured)
As per the TENAA listing, the Motorola Razr 60 will feature a 3.63-inch cover OLED screen that produces a 1056 x 1056 pixels resolution. On the inside, it will have a 6.9-inch foldable OLED screen that supports a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2460 pixels. This debunks a recent report that it will have a smaller 6.7-inch display.
The Razr 60 will feature a 32-megapixel camera on the front, while its back panel will house a 50-megapixel + 13-megapixel dual-camera setup. The TENAA certification also mentions that the device will support 3x optical zoom. For security, it will include a side-mounted fingerprint sensor.
The Razr 60’s TENAA listing further states that it is powered by a 2.75GHz chip, which appears to be the Dimensity 7400x. As per other reports, the device is said to be equipped with a 4,500mAh (typical value) battery. However, TENAA only mentions that it will feature a 1,090mAh + 3,815mAh dual-cell battery, offering a combined rated value of 4,275mAh.
Reports have claimed that the Razr 60 will support 30W wired charging and 15W wireless charging. In China, the device will be available with 8GB / 12GB / 16GB / 18GB of RAM and 128GB / 256GB / 512GB / 1TB of storage.
Compared to the Motorola Razr 50 from last year, the Razr 60 seems to bring notable upgrades in chipset and battery size.
