Xiaomi 16 to abandon compact design for larger display and slimmer build

Xiaomi’s upcoming flagship, the Xiaomi 16, is rumored to mark a significant departure from its predecessors by ditching its compact design in favor of a larger display and a thinner build.

According to leaks from reliable tipster Smart Pikachu (translated from Chinese), the standard Xiaomi 16 will abandon the 6.36-inch screen size used in the Xiaomi 13, 14, and 15, opting instead for a larger display, potentially between 6.5 and 6.67 inches. According to previous reports, the upcoming Redmi Turbo 4 Pro and Redmi K80 Ultra are also expected to feature larger displays.

Xiaomi-15
6.36″ Xiaomi 15

Potential reasons behind the change

The move to a larger display is reportedly aimed at achieving a slimmer design, which could be an influence of the yet to be released Galaxy S25 Edge and phones with similar design from Xiaomi’s Chinese competitors.

The increase in surface area reportedly allows the manufacturer use a slimmer battery without sacrificing its capacity. Another advantage of the larger size is the ability to pack a “horizontally expanded” telephoto camera. Currently, the base model packs a 2.6x (60mm) telephoto, which could be easier to upgrade with a more advanced telephoto given there is sufficient space inside.

The energy density of the batteries has improved lately, which reduces the requirement of internal volume for a given battery capacity, but a similar development has yet to happen when it comes to the imaging hardware. T F

While this change may appeal to users who prefer larger screens and slimmer devices, it comes as disappointing news for fans of compact smartphones. Since the Xiaomi 12 launched in 2021, Xiaomi has catered to this niche audience with its smaller flagship models. However, the Xiaomi 16’s rumored design shift suggests the company is apparently prioritizing specification upgrades over compactness.

Nonetheless, this information is still based on leaks and rumors, so Xiaomi’s final design choices could differ. If the leaks hold true, the Xiaomi 16 will join a growing list of smartphones embracing larger screens.

Galaxy Tab S10 FE series prices leaked, and they are disappointing

Samsung is preparing to launch its next-generation Fan Edition tablets: the Galaxy Tab S10 FE and Galaxy Tab S10 FE+, which have been in the conversation for a while. A recent leak suggests they will come with a higher price tag than their predecessors. According to YTechB, the Wi-Fi-only variants of the upcoming tablets will be $50 more expensive than the Galaxy Tab S9 FE series.

Galaxy-Tab-S10-FE

The leaked prices for the Galaxy Tab S10 FE series are as follows:

  • Galaxy Tab S10 FE (8GB RAM + 128GB storage): $499
  • Galaxy Tab S10 FE (12GB RAM + 256GB storage): $569
  • Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ (8GB RAM + 128GB storage): $649
  • Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ (12GB RAM + 256GB storage): $749

In comparison, the Galaxy Tab S9 FE starts at $449, and the Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ starts at $599. While the price hike may seem modest, it definitely raises the question of whether the upgrades are worth the extra price.

As for the upgrades, the Galaxy Tab S10 FE series will feature a faster Exynos 1580 processor (up from the Exynos 1380 in the Tab S9 FE). This will be joined by a higher-resolution 12MP front-facing camera (compared to the 8MP camera on the previous model).

The Tab S10 FE+, on the other hand, will also boast a larger 13.1-inch display, up from the 12.4-inch screen on the Tab S9 FE+. While these improvements are notable, they do not justify the price hike for someone who is already on a tight budget. You can check out the previously leaked specifications of the Tab S10 FE and Tab S10 FE+ here.

Samsung has yet to announce an official launch date for the Galaxy Tab S10 FE series. However, certification listings and benchmark tests suggest a launch could be on the horizon. Both devices have cleared the Indian regulatory certifications, which suggests they will be launched in India as well.

Huawei’s self-developed Kirin PC chip surfaces in wild for the first time

Huawei has been working on HarmonyOS-based laptops for a while now, with an expected launch in 2025. However, a new report suggests the timeline may have been pushed back.

At the same time, we’ve known for a while that Huawei is developing its own PC processor. A report last year hinted that the company’s Kirin PC chip could arrive in early 2025

Aligning with the rumor, a new Kirin chip for PCs called the Kirin X90, has now surfaced on China’s Information Security Evaluation Center.

Huawei Kirin X90 PC chip

Kirin X90 will likely use 7nm fabrication

The listing itself doesn’t reveal much about the chipset, but given Huawei’s limited options, it’s likely built on SMIC’s 7nm process. That means it’s unlikely to match the performance of Apple’s latest M-series chips or even Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X lineup for that matter. 

An earlier report, however, hinted that the performance-wise, the SoC is in the same ballpark as Apple’s M2 chip. It is said to be built on Huawei’s Taishan v130 architecture, featuring an 8-core CPU clocked at 2.5GHz (likely its base frequency). The GPU is rumored to be a 10-core unit codenamed “Ma Liang 920”.

The chip is also expected to support up to 32GB of LPDDR5-6400 memory on a 128-bit bus, with 100GB/s of bandwidth. Storage-wise, it could handle up to 2TB of SSD space and come with three USB-4 ports.

Huawei’s push into the PC processor space is a big deal, but whether its Kirin chip can truly compete outside of China remains to be seen.

Samsung’s new Game Booster+ elevates gaming on Galaxy phones

Samsung has taken mobile gaming to the next level with the launch of Game Booster+, a new module for its Good Lock app, currently available in Korea. This enhanced version of Samsung’s existing Game Booster feature offers gamers more advanced customization options to optimize their gaming experience on Galaxy phones.

While the original Game Booster allowed users to tweak performance, refresh rates, and charging behavior to prevent overheating, Game Booster+ introduces additional features like key remapping, GPU settings adjustments, and game classification.

Gabe Booster+ features:

The app includes a total of three main features: Game Controller Key Remapping, Enable Game Booster GPU Settings, and Game Category Settings. The first feature, Game Controller Key Remapping, allows users to customize the buttons on their game controllers to suit their preferences. Gamers can create up to four unique profiles, making it easier to switch between configurations for different types of games.

The second feature, Enable Game Booster GPU Settings, is particularly intriguing. It lets you switch between two different GPU settings: PreTransform and Texture Filter. PreTransform is designed to reduce the GPU’s workload during screen rotation in Vulkan-based games, while Texture Filter enhances texture quality. Users can choose between three modes: Default, Performance, and Quality, depending on their preference for speed or visual fidelity.

Lastly, Game Category Settings allows users to manually classify apps as games. This is particularly useful for apps or games that aren’t automatically recognized as such, ensuring they can benefit from Game Booster’s optimization features.

While Game Booster+ is currently exclusive to the Galaxy Store in Korea, tech enthusiasts have already extracted the APK and made it available for download in other regions. However, users are advised to exercise caution while installing the APK or wait for an official release outside the home country.

Samsung has been powering all its Ultra flagships with Qualcomm chips throughout the last couple of generations, and it’s good to see that they are also making some effort to make the most of the expensive hardware.

The 4 most anticipated Ultra smartphones of 2025

As 2025 approaches, smartphone enthusiasts are already looking ahead to what’s shaping up to be another competitive year in the high-end flagship market. If you’re someone who only upgrades when the biggest and most powerful models hit the shelves, the “Ultra” segment is where you’ll want to focus your attention. 

Next year, four major players are lining up their most ambitious releases yet: the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, Vivo X200 Ultra, Oppo Find X8 Ultra, and Xiaomi 15 Ultra.

Most anticipated ultra smartphones of 2025

These phones will deliver the best set of camera technology, performance, and design, but the real question is—which one will stand out? Let’s break down what we know (and what we can reasonably expect) from each device.

1. Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra

Galaxy S25 Ultra (2)

Samsung’s Ultra series has long been the benchmark for high-end Android phones, and the Galaxy S25 Ultra isn’t likely to stray far from this formula. If history is any indication, the S25 Ultra will build on the successes of its predecessor, focusing on subtle but meaningful improvements rather than radical redesigns.

The S25 Ultra will likely retain its signature boxy, industrial design but with more rounded edges this time. Its front will feature a 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, similar to previous models. 

The OLED panel is expected to maintain a resolution of 1440 by 3080 pixels, offering a sharpness of over 500ppi. As a result, individual pixels will remain indistinguishable. Samsung is also likely to continue refining its S Pen integration, keeping it as the go-to choice for productivity-minded users.

On the camera front, the S25 Ultra is expected to upgrade its ultrawide lens to a new 50MP ISOCELL JN3 sensor. The other three cameras—the 200MP main, 10MP telephoto with 3x zoom, and 50MP telephoto with 5x zoom—are likely to remain unchanged.

Powering the S25 Ultra will likely be Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite, built by TSMC and officially announced in October 2024. The chipset’s two performance cores reach clock speeds of up to 4GHz, a significant leap from the 3.3GHz offered by the Cortex-X4 on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. The S25 Ultra has also been spotted on Geekbench, confirming its use of this powerful SoC.

2. Vivo X200 Ultra

vivo x100 ultra

Vivo might not have the global footprint of Samsung, but the X series has consistently impressed with its camera-first approach. The X200 Ultra is expected to double down on that strategy, catering to photography enthusiasts who prioritize camera hardware above all else.

The X200 Ultra is rumored to sport a 50MP main sensor, though it might forego the 1-inch size of its predecessor for a smaller 1/1.3″ sensor. 

The brand took a similar approach with the X200 Pro, which launched in October. Vivo swapped out its 1-inch Sony IMX 989 sensor from the X100 Pro for a slightly smaller 1/1.28” lens on the X200 Pro. 

The company, however, claims this new sensor should perform as well as the previous one, and possibly better in certain situations. We assume Vivo might take a similar approach with the X200 Ultra, though the exact camera sensor is still unknown. 

On the performance front, the X200 Ultra will likely run on the Snapdragon 8 Elite. It’s expected to feature a 2K resolution display with a 120Hz refresh rate, delivering a premium viewing experience over the 1.5K screens of the base and Pro variants. The device could also pack a powerful 6,000mAh battery, supporting 100W wired and 50W wireless charging.

3. Oppo Find X8 Ultra

Oppo Find X8 Ultra

Oppo’s Find X series has always combined premium design with powerful performance, and the Find X8 Ultra looks set to continue that legacy.

The Find X8 Ultra is rumored to feature a micro-quad-curved screen, enhancing its immersive feel. It will likely sport a 6.82-inch BOE X2 LTPO OLED panel with a 2K+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate—possibly the same display debuting on the OnePlus 13.

The camera upgrades on the new model will likely be subtle, yet they remain impactful. The Find X8 Ultra is expected to retain its one-inch primary sensor and periscope telephoto lenses, now with slight focal length adjustments.

A recent teaser video by Richard Yu has provided the first real glimpse of the Huawei Pura device. Unlike traditional smartphones, this model appears to feature a significantly wider and shorter display, possibly introducing a 16:10 aspect ratio. This deviation from the usual smartphone form factors suggests a focus on enhanced usability across multiple modes.

The most intriguing revelation is that this device adopts a vertical clamshell fold, but unlike the compact flip phones on the market, it incorporates an external secondary screen. This design could enable versatile interaction modes, catering to productivity and entertainment alike. Additionally, the device is expected to pack a high-end camera system, supporting zoom levels from ultra-wide to 10x, aligning with Huawei’s recent flagship offerings.

Another major highlight is that this will be the first Huawei smartphone to ship with the stable version of the HarmonyOS Next, moving away from legacy Android dependencies. The software experience is likely to be deeply integrated with Huawei’s ecosystem, offering features such as seamless multi-device collaboration, enhanced AI capabilities, and optimised applications tailored for the new form factor.

While pricing details remain under wraps, Yu has hinted that it will be an accessible product for the masses. As the official launch nears, more details about the device’s hardware, software, and potential use cases will emerge. Huawei’s upcoming release could redefine how foldable devices integrate into daily workflows and entertainment, making it a significant launch in the smartphone industry.

The brand is also expected to unveil two more Find X8-series models with small and large form factors. According to a recent report, the larger variant, featuring a 6.6-inch screen, could be called the Oppo Find X8s+, while the compact model with a 6.31-inch display will be dubbed the Oppo Find X8s.

In the image shared by Yibao, the upcoming Oppo Find X8s is seen on the left, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max is on the right. An Oppo executive claimed that the Find X8s features an advanced display technology developed in-house by Oppo. This next-generation chip-level screen encapsulation technique enables exceptionally slim bezels, pushing the boundaries of smartphone design. The black border around the display measures just 1.xx mm, making it one of the thinnest in the industry.

For context, the iPhone 16 Pro Max is known for having one of the slimmest bezels on a smartphone. A recent report suggested that the bezels on the Find X8s could be even narrower, potentially measuring under 1.38mm.

Oppo Find X8s specifications

As per reports, the Oppo Find X8s (previously known as the Oppo Find X8 Mini) will feature a 6.31-inch OLED panel that offers a 1.5K resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and an in-screen fingerprint scanner.

Vivo X200 Ultra color variants leaked, tipped to sport dual-tone design

Vivo is expected to hold a major launch event in China to unveil a slew of new devices. These include the Vivo X200 Ultra, Vivo X200S, Vivo Pad 4 Pro, and Vivo Watch 5. The Ultra variant will take on the likes of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, and Oppo Find X8 Ultra in the home market. So far, reports have revealed a lot of details about the X200 Ultra variant. However, a new leak released by tipster Digital Chat Station focuses on the design of the phone.

Vivo X200 Ultra design details tipped

According to DCS, the early engineering units of the Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered Vivo X200 Ultra were spotted in three colour options: wine red, black, and white. The back panel features AG glass (or possibly glass fibre) instead of vegan leather.

The white variant is said to have a dual-tone design, with a plain upper section and a striped lower section, giving it a distinct “V” shape appearance. However, it is unclear whether all three color options will make it to the final version.

The X200 Ultra will feature a new periscope telephoto camera with a 200-megapixel sensor backed by advanced prism technology. Despite this innovation, the use of large camera sensors will still result in a bulky and heavyweight design, characteristic of imaging-focused flagships.

The X200 Ultra is expected to sport a 2K micro-quad-curved display with ultra-narrow bezels. In the comments, DCS added that a slightly curved display can help reduce the perceived thickness of the device while improving the in-hand feel.

MediaTek will hold the 2025 MediaTek Dimensity Developer Conference (MDDC) on April 11. The event will likely see the launch of the Dimensity 9400 Plus chipset, which is expected to power the Vivo X200S and Oppo Find X8S series that are rumored to launch in the same month.

To recall, the Vivo X200 series debuted as the world’s first Dimensity 9400-powered phones back in October 2024 in China. However, as can be seen above, DCS claimed that it is unclear whether Vivo will launch the first D9400+ phone. This indicates that Oppo’s launch event announcing the Find X8 series will be held a couple of days before the Vivo X200 Ultra launch event.

LG Display Begins Mass Production of 5K2K OLED Gaming Panel with 330Hz Mode

LG Display has started mass-producing a 45-inch OLED monitor panel designed for gaming, featuring a 5K2K resolution (5120×2160) — the highest resolution currently available in a gaming OLED panel. The display contains roughly 11 million pixels, exceeding FHD (1920×1080) by five times and surpassing UHD (3840×2160) by 1.3 times, offering sharper detail for gaming and professional applications like graphic design.

The panel achieves a peak brightness of 1,300 nits, the highest recorded for OLED monitors, improving contrast for realistic visuals. A specialized polarizer reduces glare to maintain deep blacks in bright environments. Users can switch between two modes via LG’s Dynamic Frequency & Resolution (DFR) technology: a 330Hz refresh rate at FHD for fast-paced games or 165Hz at 5K2K for high-resolution content.

The 45-inch screen uses a 21:9 aspect ratio, mimicking cinematic proportions for streaming and multitasking workflows. LG claims the panel emits 50% less blue light than LCDs and eliminates screen flicker, addressing eye strain during prolonged use.

The company plans to expand its Gaming OLED lineup, which includes panels from 27 to 45 inches, to compete in the high-end gaming display market. Won-seok Kang, Head of Large Display Product Planning at LG Display, stated the focus is on improving “picture quality, form factor, and refresh rate to enhance user experience and maintain technological leadership.”
