Leak Suggests Redmi Could Launch Xiaomi’s First 10,000mAh Battery Phone

-

Apr 17, 2026

OnePlus is preparing to launch a new flagship tablet in India, and this one looks like a serious step up. The company has now confirmed the name, along with a good chunk of the specs, ahead of the official debut later this month.

The OnePlus Pad 4 is set to launch on April 30 at 12 PM IST. Based on what’s been revealed so far, this is clearly not meant to be a mid-range tablet. OnePlus is aiming straight at the premium segment here.

Powering the device is the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. Speaking of the display, the Pad 4 features a 13.2-inch panel with a 3.4K resolution (3392 x 2400) and a 144Hz refresh rate. It also supports Dolby Vision and goes up to 1,000 nits brightness in high brightness mode.

Battery capacity is another area where OnePlus is going big. The tablet packs a 13,380mAh battery, along with 80W fast charging. That should be enough for long sessions without constantly worrying about plugging it in, although real-world usage will obviously tell the full story.

Design-wise, OnePlus is sticking with a metal unibody build, which is expected at this level. The tablet will be available in Dune Glow and Sage Mist, both of which seem to lean toward a more subtle, clean look rather than anything flashy.

There’s a single rear camera on the back, though OnePlus hasn’t shared details about it yet. The Pad 4 will also support the OnePlus Stylo Pro and a dedicated smart keyboard, which makes it pretty clear the company is positioning this as more than just a media device.

Overall, the OnePlus Pad 4 looks like a fairly straightforward upgrade, but a meaningful one. The focus seems to be on performance, display quality, and battery life rather than trying to reinvent anything.

Apr 17, 2026

Vivo Y600 Pro has been officially teased in China, with the brand revealing key details about its design and positioning. The most interesting aspect of this phone is that it will pack the largest battery ever seen on a Vivo phone. Here’s a look at what to expect from it.

Vivo Y600 Pro to pack the largest battery on a Vivo phone

The teaser hints that the Vivo Y600 Pro will feature a massive 10,000mAh battery, which may support 90W fast charging. As seen in the image below, the company has teased its rear design, which showcases a purple back panel paired with a circular camera module featuring gold accents.

As per other reports, the Y600 Pro is also expected to feature a dual rear camera setup with a 50 megapixel primary sensor, while retaining a circular camera module similar to its predecessor.

The Vivo Y600 Pro is expected to build on the foundation of last year’s Vivo Y500 Pro, which featured a Dimensity 7400 chipset, a 6.67-inch 1.5K, 120Hz OLED display, and a 7,000mAh battery with 90W fast charging support. The predecessor offered other features such as a 200-megapixel dual-camera setup and a relatively slim profile of 7.8mm despite its large battery. With the new model, Vivo is likely aiming to push battery limits further while refining the overall package for mid-range buyers.

Vivo Y600 Pro’s launch timeframe, price (rumored)

The Y600 Pro is expected to launch in May in China, likely targeting the mid-range segment with a price slightly higher than its predecessor, which started at 1,799 (~$265). However, exact pricing and availability details are yet to be confirmed.

Samsung Galaxy A27 First Look: Sleeker Design, New Chip Spotted

By

-

Apr 17, 2026

Galaxy A27 has started appearing in early leaks and renders, giving us a first look at Samsung’s next mid-range phone. From design changes to benchmark listings, the details are slowly coming together. While nothing is officially confirmed yet, these early glimpses already hint at a more refined and modern approach compared to its predecessor.

The most noticeable shift is right on the front. The old notch is gone, replaced by a centered punch-hole that immediately cleans up the entire look. It’s not just a cosmetic tweak; it changes how the phone feels in everyday use. Content looks less interrupted, the display feels more immersive, and the device stops reminding you that it’s “budget” every time you unlock it.

Interestingly, the rest of the design follows the same philosophy: simplify, refine, and avoid overdoing anything. The rear camera layout is still a triple setup, but now arranged in a more balanced and less cluttered way. It’s the kind of design that doesn’t scream for attention but ages better over time.

Performance-wise, the switch to the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 is a quiet but meaningful move. On paper, it’s not a massive leap, but it signals a focus on stability and efficiency rather than raw power. For most users, scrolling, streaming, and light gaming are exactly where it matters.

Then there’s the battery. A 5000mAh unit was expected, but wireless charging entering the conversation at this level adds a small layer of surprise. It’s the kind of feature that doesn’t sell the phone alone, but once you have it, you don’t want to go back.

Galaxy A27 isn’t about one standout feature; it’s about getting the basics right. Instead of chasing big specs, it aims to offer a smoother everyday experience, which could be the smarter choice in this segment.

Apr 17, 2026

Recent reports suggest that the OnePlus Watch 4 is in the works. Its arrival seems imminent as it has now been spotted on the Google Play Console, revealing its image and key specifications. Here’s a look at what to expect from the Watch 4.

OnePlus Watch 4 key specs revealed

OnePlus Watch 4 Google Play Console listing — OnePlus Watch 4

The OnePlus Watch 4’s Google Play Console listing confirms the model number OPWWE261 and reveals a circular dial design with a premium silver finish and a sporty green strap. The listing also shows that its display supports a 466 x 466 pixel resolution and is powered by the Snapdragon W5 chip along with 2GB of RAM, suggesting it could be a rebranded version of the Oppo Watch X3 launched in March.

Rebranded Oppo Watch X3

The Oppo Watch X3 features a 1.5-inch LTPO OLED display with 466 x 466 resolution and high brightness levels for outdoor visibility. It is powered by the Snapdragon W5 chipset paired with 2GB RAM and 32GB storage. The smartwatch includes a titanium case, sapphire crystal protection, and multiple sensors for ECG, heart rate, and wrist temperature tracking.

It also packs a 646mAh battery with fast charging support and claims up to several days of usage depending on mode. Connectivity options include eSIM, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC. The watch supports over 100 sports modes, advanced health tracking, and additional smart features like gesture controls and voice assistant support.

OnePlus Watch 4 launch (expected)

OnePlus is yet to confirm the Watch 4’s existence, though its arrival seems imminent thanks to the Play Console listing. While it is expected to launch globally, there is no certainty about an India release as it has not been approved by India’s BIS authority yet. The Watch 3 was skipped last year, making this launch more significant.

Mediatek Dimensity 9600 Pro benchmark figures are out, showing modest gains

By

Rajesh Regmi

-

Apr 17, 2026

MediaTek’s upcoming Dimensity 9600 Pro has previously been tipped to reach 5GHz clock speed. Now, a new leak from tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS) adds some rough performance numbers to the picture.

According to the insider, the Dimensity 9600 Pro could deliver Geekbench 6 scores of around 4200 to 4300 for single-core performance and around 12,000 to 12,500 for multi-core.

DCS notes that these numbers are early estimates based on engineering samples, so they aren’t final, but they do give an idea of where things might land.

For context, DCS claims the previous generation’s official figures were around 4,000 for single-core and 11,000 for multi-core. That puts the projected gains of Dimensity 9600 Pro in a noticeable range on paper, though not necessarily dramatic.

What can you expect?

Part of that performance bump comes from a more aggressive CPU design. The chip is said to feature a dual super-core setup, with both cores running at clock speeds close to 5GHz. The configuration is rounded out by three “Gelas-b” and three standard “Gelas” cores.

Essentially, the Dimensity 9600 Pro will feature a 2+3+3 core configuration with an “all-big-core” design. On the graphics side, the chip is tipped to include an Arm “Magni” GPU.

Its counterpart from Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro is expected to deliver a performance uplift of under 20%, despite reaching similar clock speeds near 5GHz.

The chip will be based on TSMC’s N2P process. While earlier leaks mentioned potential power savings in the 25 to 30 percent range, those figures remain unverified. Even so, moving to a newer node should help balance the higher clock speeds, especially if the chip consistently pushes toward that 5GHz mark.

According to previous reports, the Vivo X500 series and the Oppo Find X10 lineup will be the first to use the Dimensity 9600 chip.

REDMI Buds 8 key specs confirmed ahead of April 21 launch

By

-

Apr 17, 2026

The upcoming REDMI Buds 8 have been officially teased, and they look like another strong entry in the affordable TWS space. The launch is set for April 21 at 7 PM (China time), as part of a larger Redmi event where the company will also unveil the Redmi K90 Max and the K Pad 2 tablet. So it’s not a standalone reveal, but the Buds 8 are still getting a fair bit of attention in the teasers.

From what’s been shared so far, the earbuds will offer 50dB active noise cancellation with coverage up to 4kHz. That should be enough to handle most everyday noise like traffic or background chatter. Redmi is also using an 11mm dynamic driver, which usually means decent bass and overall balanced sound for this price segment.

The Buds 8 stick to a familiar in-ear style, paired with a small, rounded charging case. They’ll be available in black, white, and a light, muted green-grey color, which keeps things simple but gives a bit of choice. One small but useful addition is a map-based find feature, which helps locate misplaced earbuds.

For some context, Redmi already launched the Buds 8 Pro earlier this year at 399 yuan, with more advanced hardware like a triple-driver setup and 55dB ANC. The standard Buds 8 seem aimed at a lower price point, focusing on the essentials while still offering solid noise cancellation.

The April 21 event will reveal full details, including pricing, battery life, and real-world performance claims. If Redmi manages to price these aggressively, the REDMI Buds 8 could end up being an easy pick for anyone looking for simple, reliable ANC earbuds.

Casio launches three Oceanus limited edition watches inspired by Japanese Awa Indigo

By

Apr 16, 2026

Casio has introduced three new models in its premium Oceanus series, combining cutting-edge technology with traditional Japanese design. The OCW-S7000AP-1AJF and OCW-T2600AP-1AJF will launch on May 22, 2026, while the OCW-S6000AP-1AJR will launch on June 12, 2026.

Design Details

The new watches feature Awa indigo, a traditional dye from Tokushima, Japan. Artisans create Awa indigo through an intricate sedimentation process, resulting in a vivid, deep-blue pigment that has been used for centuries. Casio uses this rare dye to color the sub-dials, which display three different shades of blue. These colors reflect the ocean’s depth and transition as light hits the surfaces.

The OCW-S7000AP and OCW-T2600AP feature a black main dial with subtle wave-like patterns that mimic the movement of the ocean. The OCW-S6000AP adds a sapphire glass bezel with a spiral cut design, symbolizing powerful ocean waves. Casio applies a navy ion-plated coating to the titanium bezel and case to match the indigo tones.

Casio equips all three watches with Tough Solar technology for solar-powered operation, Multi-Band 6 for radio-controlled timekeeping across six global regions, and Bluetooth connectivity to sync with the Casio Watches smartphone app. The app offers automatic time adjustment, settings customization, and world time functionality for over 300 cities.

Casio designed all three watches with lightweight titanium cases and bands, which feature premium finishes like Zaratsu polishing for a smooth, distortion-free surface. The slim profiles of the watches ensure a comfortable fit at just 9.2-10.7 mm thickness.

Pricing and Availability

Casio has limited the OCW-S7000AP to 1,300 units and priced it at ¥264,000 ($1,660). The OCW-T2600AP will launch in 800 units at ¥154,000 ($968). The OCW-S6000AP, the most premium of the lineup, will cost ¥495,000 ($3,111) and be available in just 700 units.

In related news, Casio has recently launched a new Edifice watch in the US featuring a sleek motorsports-inspired design, alongside two G-Shock models inspired by traditional Japanese red lanterns.

Galaxy S27 Ultra tipped to be the first to use UFS 5.0 storage

By

-

Apr 16, 2026

Samsung could be preparing a pretty big storage upgrade for its future flagships. The Galaxy S27 Ultra is now being tipped as the first smartphone to ship with UFS 5.0 storage, which, if true, would be a noticeable step forward in raw speed.

The info comes from tipster yeux1122. According to the leak, Samsung is planning to bring UFS 5.0 to at least some models in the Galaxy S27 lineup.

In terms of numbers, UFS 5.0 is said to offer interface speeds of up to 10.8 GB/s. That’s a big jump from what we have right now, and starts getting closer to PCIe Gen 5 NVMe SSD territory, at least on paper. For phones, this could translate to noticeably faster app launches, quicker file transfers, and smoother handling of heavier workloads, especially anything AI-related.

For comparison, the current Galaxy S26 series sticks with UFS 4.1. While the peak speeds are similar to UFS 4.0, Samsung has been improving things in other ways, like adding WriteBooster and tweaking how storage is managed. The company claims those changes already bring noticeable gains in things like file copying and app installs.

With UFS 5.0 though, the jump looks more straightforward. It essentially doubles the theoretical bandwidth, which could matter more as phones start doing more on-device AI processing. Tasks like running generative AI models or handling large media files are only getting heavier, so faster storage can actually make a difference there.

Interestingly, Samsung wasn’t originally expected to move to UFS 5.0 this soon. Earlier timelines pointed to around 2027 or later, with more focus on refining UFS 4.x in the meantime. But with the current push around AI-focused smartphones, it seems plans may have shifted a bit.

The timing does line up in one way. JEDEC finalized the UFS 5.0 standard earlier this year, and memory manufacturers are already working on bringing it to market. So the hardware side of things is starting to fall into place.

If Samsung does manage to pull this off, the S27 Ultra could end up being one of the first devices to really push storage performance forward again. And with how quickly on-device AI processing is evolving, that kind of upgrade might end up being more important than it sounds right now.

Huawei Watch Fit 5 Pro spotted in real-life images with slimmer bezels, larger display

By

-

Apr 16, 2026

Huawei looks set to refresh its Watch Fit lineup soon, and a fresh batch of leaks has already given us an early look at what’s coming. The Huawei Watch Fit 5 Pro has now surfaced in real-world images, hinting at a design that feels familiar but a bit more refined this time around.

The leaked photos, shared on Chinese social platform Weibo, show the watch inside its retail box. At first glance, it sticks to the same square design language, but there are a few noticeable tweaks. The unit shown carries bright orange accents around the frame, paired with a matching woven strap, which is very much in line with Huawei’s recent styling choices. The aluminum body seems to be retained, along with the crown on the right and a secondary button just below it.

Where things get more interesting is the display. Side-by-side images with the Watch Fit 4 Pro suggest that Huawei has trimmed down the bezels quite a bit. The difference is enough to make the newer model look cleaner and more modern. There’s also a shift to 2.5D curved glass, replacing the flat panel from the previous generation, which should make swipes feel a bit smoother and the watch slightly more premium in hand.

Some early chatter on Weibo points to a 1.92-inch AMOLED display, up from the 1.82-inch screen on the Fit 4 Pro. That said, there’s still a lot we don’t know. The leaks don’t really touch on internals yet, so details around battery life, sensors, or new health features are still under wraps for now.

Looking at Huawei’s usual cycle, the timing lines up though. The Watch Fit 4 series launched around May last year, so a similar window for the Fit 5 lineup wouldn’t be surprising.

The Watch Fit series has generally done well by keeping things lightweight and relatively affordable, while still offering solid fitness tracking. From what’s visible so far, the Fit 5 Pro seems to be leaning a bit more into the “premium look” side of things.

Apr 16, 2026

After weeks of chatter, DJI has finally introduced its latest pocket-sized gimbal camera, the Osmo Pocket 4. The new model builds on the familiar formula of DJI’s long-running handheld gimbal series, but it comes with a larger sensor and a set of upgrades for creators.

DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Specifications

At the center of the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 is a newly upgraded one-inch CMOS sensor paired with an f/2.0 aperture. This combination brings a claimed dynamic range of up to 14 stops, which should help preserve more detail in both highlights and shadows.

It also supports a 10-bit D-Log color mode, offering greater flexibility in post-production.

The camera now supports 4K slow-motion recording at up to 240fps. On the audio side, DJI is adding spatial audio recording along with zoom audio pickup. There’s also support for OsmoAudio direct connection to DJI microphone transmitters, enabling up to four-channel audio recording. This makes the gimbal camera more practical for interviews or multi-source recording setups.

As for tracking, the Osmo Pocket 4 introduces Intelligent Follow 7.0, which supports subject tracking at up to 4x zoom. DJI has also added “Lock Subject Tracking” and “Priority Subject Registration” for a more stable and predictable tracking experience.

Gesture controls are part of the update as well, allowing users to start or stop tracking and recording without touching the screen.

For users focused on portrait shooting, DJI says it has calibrated the camera for more natural skin tones across different lighting conditions. There’s also a built-in beauty filter with adjustable smoothing, whitening, and tone settings.

It also supports an external fill light for adjustable brightness and color temperature in a compact form.

DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Pricing and Availability

The DJI Osmo Pocket 4 is now open for pre-orders, with deliveries scheduled to begin on April 22. DJI is offering the camera in three different bundles.

The base option keeps things simple, while the higher tiers gradually turn the Pocket 4 into something closer to a full creator kit.

DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Bundle	What’s included	Price
Essential Combo	Pocket 4 camera, USB-C cable, handle with 1/4-inch thread, carrying pouch	£429 / from €479
Standard Combo	Everything in Essential + gimbal clamp, wrist strap, and extra accessories	£445 / from €499

TSMC’s 2nm supply shortage forces smartphone brands to save the best for top-end models amid growing DRAM crisis

The 2nm process node is the most advanced, cutting-edge node in the industry, and it’s none other than TSMC leading the next-generation wave of advanced chips. The Taiwanese chip giant has managed to achieve yields favorable for mass-producing 2nm wafers, but unfortunately, that is not enough to meet demand for AI chips and mobile SoCs, forcing smartphone brands to opt for silicon downgrades later this year.

According to a reliable Chinese tipster, Digital Chat Station, multiple smartphone brands will offer fully equipped SoCs only in their top-of-the-line “Ultra” or “Pro Max” models because of rising memory costs and the chip crisis. While the tipster doesn’t explicitly mention “TSMC,” it doesn’t take long to realize where the fingers are pointing to.

While the complexities of mass-producing advanced wafers at a larger scale pose a major challenge for the Taiwanese chip giant, AI and mobile are competing for the same advanced nodes, only worsening the supply crunch. According to industry reports, much of N2 capacity through 2026 is already effectively sold out, with Apple, Qualcomm, Nvidia, and AMD locking in large allocations. Apple alone is reported to have more than half of the initial N2 capacity.

Samsung is the most prominent alternative to TSMC, but it is struggling even worse in bringing up its 2nm GAA yields. That leaves smartphone brands with limited supply, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see high-end chips being reserved for top-end models. This explains why Qualcomm is rumored to launch Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro as part of its dual-chip launch strategy. Apple is also said to follow a similar approach with its A20 and A20 Pro.

Even MediaTek is reportedly adopting the same strategy, offering the Dimensity 9600 and Dimensity 9600 Pro. The more affordable SoC will be offered to less premium phones, and the more expensive silicon will be reserved for top-end phones. We can also expect smartphone prices to rise, with the DRAM crisis among the main culprits.

After launching the Nord CE 4 Lite in 2024, OnePlus is jumping directly to the Nord CE 6 Lite this year. The device has been the subject of a few rumors in the past, some revealing its design and others its possible specifications.

In that regard, a Geekbench listing has now revealed the chipset of the OnePlus Nord CE 6 Lite. The smartphone appeared in the benchmark under the model number CPH2943 and is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chip.

The latter is confirmed by the core setup, consisting of four CPU cores running at 2.60GHz and four at 2.0GHz. Graphics are handled by the Mali-G615 MC2 GPU. Similarly, the device tested features 8GB of RAM and runs Android 16 out of the box.

With this setup, the OnePlus Nord CE 6 Lite managed to score 1,068 points in single-core and 2,953 points in multi-core tests.

OnePlus Nord CE 6 Lite: Rumored Specifications

As for other hardware specifications, the Nord CE 6 Lite is expected to feature a 6.7-inch LCD panel with support for a 120Hz refresh rate. That’s a noticeable downgrade from the Nord CE 4 Lite, which offered an AMOLED panel with a peak brightness of 2,100 nits.

The camera setup could be fairly simple as well. It is said to feature a 50MP main sensor paired with a secondary lens on the back, along with a 16MP front camera.

Keeping it up will be a large 7,000mAh battery. Its predecessor pairs a 5,110mAh cell with 80W fast charging. So, hopefully, the Nord CE 6 Lite will support similar charging speeds for quick top-ups.

Moreover, the 6GB + 128GB variant is said to cost under ₹23,000. However, these are just leaks, so take the details with a pinch of salt.

The OnePlus Nord CE 6 Lite is expected to launch alongside the OnePlus Nord CE 6 in India next month.
