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.

MediaTek unveiled the Dimensity 9400 chip in October 2024. Speculations are rife that the Taiwanese chipmaker is now working on the Dimensity 9500, which may debut in the last quarter of this year. A recent Weibo post by reliable leaker Digital Chat Station has revealed early details about the D9500 chip.
Dimensity 9500 could be the most powerful Android SoC
Dimensity 9500 details leaked by DCS
The Weibo post by DCS reveals that the engineering samples of MediaTek’s next-generation chipset are ready. According to the leak, the chip features an eight-core design with a 1+3+4 architecture and has a target AnTuTu benchmark score of around 3.5 million points. While the tipster has not explicitly mentioned the chipset’s name, he appears to be referring to MediaTek’s next flagship processor—the Dimensity 9500.
D9500 to feature one Cortex-X930 Travis core
Previously, the tipster claimed that the Dimensity 9500 would feature two Cortex-X930 “Travis” cores. However, he now states that it includes only one Travis core, which is expected to exceed 4GHz. In terms of single-core performance, the Dimensity 9500 could rival Apple’s M4 chip, thanks to factors like the inclusion of ARM’s Scalable Matrix Extension (SME) and TSMC’s enhanced 3nm ‘N3P’ process.
The tipster has previously claimed that while it is not officially confirmed, smartphones powered by the Dimensity 9500 and Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 are expected to debut in October. Some manufacturers may even push for an early release by late September, aiming to have their devices available before November 1st.
Major brands such as Vivo and Oppo are expected to be the first adopters of the Dimensity 9500, integrating the chipset into upcoming flagship series like the Vivo X300 and Oppo Find X8. Some reports have claimed that the Honor Magic 9 series will also feature the Dimensity 9500 chip.
In related news, MediaTek is gearing up to launch the Dimensity 9400 Plus chip next month. This chip, which clocks at 3.73GHz and is an overclocked version of the existing D9400 chip, will power multiple devices, such as the Oppo Find X8s, Find X8s+, Vivo X200S, Realme GT 7, iQOO Neo 10S, OnePlus Ace 5S, and Redmi K80 Ultra.

Several reports have claimed that Samsung will unveil the Galaxy S25 Edge in April. To recall, the device was first teased at the Galaxy S25 series launch event in January. While it was showcased at the MWC 2025 tech exhibition at the beginning of this month, the South Korean tech giant hasn’t revealed any details about it yet. Ahead of the expected April launch, Winfuture.de has published a report revealing official renders of the device.
The images show that the Galaxy S25 Edge will be available in three shades: Titanium Jet Black, Titanium Icy Blue, and Titanium Silver. In addition to sharing the images, the publication reiterated the device’s rumoured specs.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge specifications (rumoured)
According to reports, the Galaxy S25 Edge will feature a 6.7-inch AMOLED display that supports an FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Like the other S25 models, the Edge variant will have the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chip onboard.
One of the major highlights of the S25 Edge is its slim design, which is said to be around 5.8mm in thickness, excluding the camera module. It is said that the device will house a 3,900mAh battery that supports 25W wired and wireless charging.
On the front, the Galaxy S25 Edge may feature a 12-megapixel selfie camera. The vertical camera module on the back will have a 200-megapixel primary camera with OIS support and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide lens. The device is expected to ship with One UI 7-based Android 15 preinstalled.
Last year, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Z Fold SE without any fanfare. It is speculated that, in the same way, the S25 Edge will debut quietly without a major launch event. A recent report claimed that the S25 Edge’s 256GB and 512GB variants may carry a starting price of 1,200 euros to 1,300 euros.

Rumors about the iPhone 17 Air have been swirling for months, teasing a sleek, ultra-thin design set to debut later this year. Now, a newly surfaced image offers a striking comparison, showcasing just how slim the iPhone 17 Air is beside its sibling, the iPhone 17 Pro. The visual evidence confirms what leaks have hinted at: Apple is pushing the boundaries of how thin a modern smartphone can be.
These are likely 3D-printed models of the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Air
The image—featuring what appear to be 3D-printed models based on CAD renders—places the iPhone 17 Pro on the left and the iPhone 17 Air on the right. The difference is dramatic: the Air’s profile looks nearly half as thick as the Pro’s.
According to previous rumors, the iPhone 17 Air is only 5.5 mm thick. However, that figure excludes the camera bump. When accounting for the bump, the total thickness hits 9.5mm—still impressively slim compared to the bulkier Pro model and its Android competitors with massive camera bumps. The side-by-side shot with the Pro model underscores Apple’s approach to the Air: a slick form factor that could redefine the smartphone design language for 2025 and the coming years.
That said, the thinner build likely sacrifices some of the Pro’s heftier features—think of battery size or advanced camera hardware. In fact, the phone is rumored to pack only a single camera on the back in 2025. For Apple fans, this trade-off might feel familiar, echoing the company’s history of prioritizing form—sometimes at the cost of practicality. The iPhone 17 Pro, meanwhile, retains a more robust look, suggesting it’s the choice for those favoring power and features over minimalism.
Samsung has begun taking pre-orders for its Odyssey 3D monitor in South Korea, a 4K display that promises a glasses-free 3D experience. Using eye-tracking cameras, it renders unique perspectives for each eye, creating a stereoscopic effect that’s dazzling both in person and on paper. However, this cutting-edge tech comes with steep hardware demands and limitations that might leave buyers questioning its value—especially at Samsung’s premium price point.
Samsung Odyssey 3D
The Odyssey 3D doesn’t magically turn all content into 3D
For gaming, it requires developer optimization, with only two titles—The First Berserker: Khazan and Lies of P—currently supported. Samsung is partnering with studios to expand this list, but for now, the 3D gaming potential is narrow.
Its 2D-to-3D video conversion feature is equally restricted: it needs Reality Hub running, full-screen playback, and an Nvidia GPU (RTX 3080 or higher recommended). It also won’t work with HDR, DRM-protected content like Netflix, or unsupported video players, severely limiting its entertainment appeal. Add in the need for a beefy CPU (Intel i7 or AMD Ryzen 7 1700X minimum), and the monitor’s best features demand a high-end rig.
As a fallback, the Odyssey 3D doubles as a solid 2D monitor, boasting a 27-inch 4K panel, 165Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, and support for AMD FreeSync and Nvidia G-Sync. But here’s the rub: if 3D isn’t your priority, cheaper Odyssey models offer better 2D performance for less.
Samsung’s track record of hyping “quality” innovations—only to saddle them with caveats or follow competitors’ cuts—feels familiar. The Odyssey 3D’s price tag reflects its ambition, but its niche appeal and hardware hurdles might trick buyers expecting a seamless, all-purpose upgrade. For now, it’s a flashy tech flex with a steep entry fee.

Oppo’s upcoming flagship lineup is beginning to take shape, and fresh Geekbench listings have given us an early peek into what’s powering the Find X8 series. Two new models—PLB110 and PKT110—have surfaced, and all signs point toward these being the highly anticipated Oppo Find X8s and Find X8s+.
Dimensity 9400+ to bring performance boost
The headline here is the confirmation of the Dimensity 9400 Plus chipset, MediaTek’s soon-to-be-announced silicon expected to go official on April 11. The Oppo Find X8s and X8s+ are now all but confirmed to debut with this chip, making them the first devices to showcase its boosted performance.
According to the Geekbench listing, the Dimensity 9400 Plus features a Cortex-X925 prime core running at 3.73GHz, three Cortex-X4 cores at 3.30GHz, and four Cortex-A720 cores clocked at 2.4GHz. The GPU is listed as the Mali-G925 Immortalis MC12.
Benchmark results show the PLB110 scoring 2,770 in single-core and 8,500 in multi-core tests. That’s a solid leap from the Dimensity 9400’s 2,605 and 8,078, respectively, amounting to around a 6% improvement in single-core and a 5% uptick in multi-core performance. These numbers may edge higher when the production units ship, but the early signs are encouraging.
While Oppo has yet to clarify which model number corresponds to the Find X8s and which to the X8s+, what we do know is that the Find X8s will be a compact device with a 6.3-inch display, while the X8s+ will sport a bigger 6.6-inch screen.
Meanwhile, the Oppo Find X8 Ultra Satellite Communication Version (PKU110) also made its Geekbench debut. Powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite, this model scored 3,134 in single-core and 9,176 in multi-core tests. Oppo has confirmed this variant will come with 16GB of RAM and a massive 1TB of storage.
All three devices, alongside the Oppo Pad 4 Pro, Watch X2 Mini, and Enco Free 4, are slated to launch on April 11 in China. Global availability remains unclear, but given Oppo’s recent track record, a wider release seems likely. For now, it’s clear that the Find X8 series is shaping up to be one of Oppo’s most ambitious lineups yet.

Samsung appears to be planning a major spec overhaul for the Galaxy S26 Ultra, following two generations of Ultra models that saw minimal changes in design and specifications. According to a recent leak, a prototype of the S26 Ultra includes a single 200MP periscope telephoto. Now, the latest leak suggests that Samsung is experimenting with different camera setups for the upcoming Ultra model.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra – S Pen
The first telephoto finally includes a 50MP sensor
According to X tipster @SiddhantGeek, another prototype of the Galaxy S26 Ultra still includes the dual-telephoto setup, but the focal lengths are different. The 3X telephoto has been replaced with a 3.5X one, something we have seen lately from some of the Chinese OEMs. But what’s even more interesting is that it finally includes a larger 50MP sensor inside. The sensor reportedly measures 1/3.15″ and has a pixel size of 0.56um. In contrast, the current 10MP sensor measures 1/3.52″ and has a pixel size of 1.12µm.
While the native pixel size of the 50MP sensor is much smaller, it will likely use 4-1 pixel binning and capture at 12.5MP, which is intended to make up for the smaller pixels. Aside from sharper images, the higher resolution (more than 33MP) also enables the phone to record in 8K from the 3.5X telephoto. However, enabling the option and fine tuning the image processing for the purpose ultimately depends on Samsung.
Moving on to the periscope telephoto, it now has 8X magnification, up from 5X of the S25 Ultra. The new sensor has the same 50MP resolution but is slightly smaller at 1/2.76″ (down from 1/2.52″), which could be due to minimizing the protrusion of the camera module. For those unfamiliar, both a larger sensor and a longer zoom range (larger focal length) increase the protrusion of the camera module, so a smaller sensor can counteract the increase in zoom range and somewhat maintain the protrusion.
The ultrawide remains the same as the S25 Ultra in this prototype, but the main sensor has an F/1.4-4.0 variable aperture mechanism. That said, the company is likely experimenting with different specifications, and still has enough time to improve or cancel some of the specs mentioned above. We will likely get more information on the development as we inch closer to the launch.
Samsung has launched an unprecedented discount on its premium Galaxy Buds 3, slashing the price by $80 to match the cost of its more basic Buds FE model. The Buds 3 is now available for just $99, which normally retails at $179. Currently, only the silver color option remains in stock, with the white variant already sold out – possibly due to high demand from this promotion.

Here’s how Galaxy Buds 3 stands out from the FE model
The Galaxy Buds 3 represent a significant upgrade over the budget-focused Buds FE. It boasts IP57 dust and water resistance, a substantial improvement over the Buds FE‘s basic IPX2 rating. Its active Noise Cancellation delivers superior audio isolation, while battery life reaches 6 hours per charge (5 hours with ANC enabled) and 30 hours total with the charging case. Advanced features like AI-powered Adaptive Equalizer, Interpreter Mode, and seamless switching between Galaxy devices further justify their original premium positioning.

For buyers seeking the absolute lowest price point, Samsung is also offering the Galaxy Buds FE at a reduced $79 (down from $99). However, the FE model comes with notable compromises, which include the lack of ANC and significantly weaker water resistance.
The current promotion presents a clear choice for Galaxy ecosystem users: go for the discounted Buds 3 to get near-flagship features at entry-level pricing, or opt for the Buds FE to minimize costs while sacrificing the premium features. Notably, this deal may not last long as the inventory is already showing signs of depletion. Samsung didn’t announce an official end date, but the sell-out of white models suggests interested buyers should act quickly.
The promotion offers one of the best value propositions we’ve seen for Samsung audio accessories, effectively putting mid-tier performance within reach of budget-conscious consumers. At this price, the Buds 3 represent an unusually strong bargain in the wireless earbud market.
Oppo’s latest F29 series is officially hitting shelves in India. The standard F29 model will go on sale tomorrow while the F29 Pro which was initially set for an April 1 launch, will now be available earlier on March 29. Here are all the details you need to know.

The Thermal Master P2 is a tiny yet powerful thermal imaging camera designed exclusively for Android devices. Weighing just 10g, it packs a 256×192 IR resolution, 15X zoom, and a temperature range of -4°F to 1112°F (-20°C to 600°C). After spending some time with it, here’s my experience with its design, performance, and usability.
The P2 is incredibly compact—smaller than a keychain—and feels well-built. It connects directly to an Android phone via USB-C, making it an ultra-portable solution for thermal imaging. The packaging is premium, and it even comes with a key case, which is a nice touch for easy storage.

Phone
Setting up the P2 is simple:
Download the Temp Master app,
Plug it into the phone, and
Start capturing thermal images instantly.
I think I will often use it since I constantly test and review phones and consumer tech gadgets. As can be seen in one of the above images, I found out that one of the phones I am testing was heating—I don’t know why, probably because its display was on. I was curious to check the temperature. So I used this thermal camera, and it not only showed the temperature but also clearly revealed that the top portion was heating more.
Mini projectorIron
Another thing is the mini projector I am testing—it’s usually not that hot, but the vents on either side release heat. I was curious to check the temperature, and the thermal camera showed that the heat surpassed 50°C. Interestingly, I also checked the temperature of my iron, which exceeded 155°C.
Readers should note that the P2 draws power from the phone, but the power consumption on the Galaxy S25 Ultra—and any other phone, for that matter—would be negligible.
3. Performance and usability (Part 2)
Coffee cup
One downside is that the settings reset each time you close the app, which can be annoying if you prefer custom configurations.
If you use a thick phone case, the camera’s USB-C connector might not fit properly, requiring you to either remove the case or use the included extension cable, which can be awkward to handle. The camera’s close-up focus distance is relatively long (around 10 cm), making it less ideal for detailed work on small electronic components, though the P2 Pro model with a macro lens addresses this.
It’s also sensitive to shocks, moisture, and magnetic fields, and users are warned against pointing it at high-temperature sources like the sun or open flames, as these can damage the sensor.
Who is it for?
Thermal Master P2 Thermal Master P2
This camera is great for HVAC professionals, electricians, automotive technicians, and DIY enthusiasts. It makes detecting heat leaks, circuit issues, and mechanical overheating much easier without the bulk of a full-size thermal camera.
4. Final thoughts
Thermal Master P2 camera size is almost the size of the Galaxy A56’s camera module
The Thermal Master P2 delivers impressive thermal imaging in a tiny form factor. It offers clear imaging, easy usability, and a powerful zoom, making it a great budget-friendly alternative to high-end thermal cameras. However, app setting resets, case compatibility, and close-up limitations are minor drawbacks.
Available for $249 on stores like Amazon, the P2 is a solid investment for professionals and hobbyists needing a portable and efficient thermal imaging solution.
Samsung is getting hit with a sizeable tax penalty in India after failing to pay the government over import tariffs. The Indian government has levied a massive fine for failing to pay evading these duties on both the company and the senior executives. So here are all the details.
Samsung India Tax Penalty
The news comes from a Reuters report, which states that Samsung and its officials in back taxes and penalties for evading tariffs. These duties that the South Korean tech giant is over telecom equipment that it imported. This is one of the largest tax penalties demanded by the Indian government in recent times. The total sum faced by Samsung India is $601 million in penalties. This includes 44.6 billion rupees in unpaid taxes or around $520 million along with a 100 percent penalty.
That is not all, the government has also fined executives of the brand, which includes seven India based senior officials. Samsung executives have been hit with a $81 million fine, including network division vice president Sung Beam Hong, CFO Dong Won Chu, finance general manager Sheetal Jain, and indirect taxes general manager Nikhil Aggarwal. The brand has also been accused of misclassification of “Remote Radio Heads”, which is a critical 4G telecom component, which allows Samsung to avoid 10 percent or 20 percent tariffs.
The imports consisted of $784 million worth of components from South Korea and Vietnam between the periods 2018 and 2021. Mukesh Ambani owned Reliance Jio purchased these from the popular tech brand. This was also responsible for a large portion of Samsung’s net profits in 2024 in India, which totalled to around $955 million.
