Galaxy Watch Ultra is now available at a 35% discount in the US, which makes it more affordable than ever. It was originally launched at $649, and it is currently priced at only $419, a significant $230 reduction. And what’s more interesting, is that it doesn’t even require you to trade now of your existing device. This limited-time offer provides an excellent opportunity for smartwatch enthusiasts to grab Samsung’s most advanced wearable at a fraction of its original cost.
The Galaxy Watch Ultra marked a bold move for Samsung
This watch is positioned as a more durable and feature-packed smartwatch with a higher price tag than its predecessors. Despite the premium pricing, the device has attracted attention for its rugged design, and enhanced battery life. It also features an upgraded BioMetric sensor, which reportedly offers improved performance and energy efficiency compared to earlier models.
With a 47mm form factor and LTE connectivity as standard, the Galaxy Watch Ultra now costs less than the 47mm Wi-Fi-only Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, which retails at $429. While the Ultra lacks the physical rotating bezel found on the Watch 6 Classic, it compensates with its durability, advanced health tracking capabilities, and sleek design.
Notably, this discount comes at a time when the smartwatch market is experiencing a decline. Samsung has not specified how long the $230 discount will last, but it has been available for a few weeks, which suggests it may not be around for much longer.
For anyone considering the Galaxy Watch Ultra, this deal offers a rare chance to own Samsung’s most rugged and feature-rich smartwatch at a significantly reduced price. So check out the product page on the company’s website if you’re interested.
AOC has unveiled the AGON Pro AG246FK6 gaming monitor in China, a 24.1-inch Fast TN panel designed for competitive esports. The monitor’s standout feature is its native 600Hz refresh rate—the highest in its class—paired with a 0.3ms MPRT/0.5ms GtG response time.

AppleCare is Apple’s extended warranty and support program designed to protect your devices beyond the standard warranty period. This covers various Apple branded products like MacBooks, iPhones, iPads, and Apple Watches. But is it worth the extra cost? Let’s find out.
A basic AppleCare subscription basically prolongs the manufacturer’s warranty, which means you get better customer support for devices beyond the typical one-year warranty. But with AppleCare+, the company now covers accidental damages as well. Depending on the region, you also get a more affordable price for repairs as well.
For example, AppleCare+ in India lowers the cost of screen replacement from over 25,000 INR to under 3,000 INR. The service also includes the extended warranty coverage, so a MacBook has a longer three year warranty which is two years longer than the typical one.
AppleCare+ subscribers are also getting priority access to Apple service. Be it repairs or for other support, you can get faster service than those without the plan. In other words, there is less downtime as resolutions are quicker. All of this makes it a lot more convenient to have for owners of iPhones, iPads, MacBooks, and Apple Watches.
2. So who is this for?
There are plenty of people that need such a service to ensure the longevity of their products. It is especially great for clumsy users who frequently drop or damage their devices. A small mistake can cost hundreds of dollars and the subscription to AppleCare basically makes it a lot more affordable. Frequent travellers who need to go abroad also benefit from this since AppleCare+ offers global repair coverage. It is worth noting that you might not get the full range of coverage, but this is a lot better than what most brands offer.
3. Verdict: Should you buy it?
Based on all the services AppleCare provides, it seems well worth it to spend a little extra for your iPhone, Macs, or other Apple products. The Cupertino based giant is known for its premium gadgets that carry a hefty price tag, especially in regions like India where Apple devices cost more than their US counterparts.
The service also suits those who tend to stick with their device for years. This might not be a priority for people that don’t drop their rarely ever drop their gadgets or upgrade frequently. But for the rest of the crown, AppleCare+ is a great option for users who want protection against costly repairs.

OPPO India will launch the OPPO F29 series, called the Durable Champion, on March 20, 2025. The F29 Series is designed for durability, reliability, and performance, creating smartphones that meet the needs of India’s gig economy, including drivers, delivery partners, shopkeepers, and business owners.
Made in OPPO’s Greater Noida factory, the lightweight F29 Series (just 180g) packs serious durability. It’s officially rated IP66 (resists heavy rain or a rogue water hose), IP68 (survives 30 minutes in a flooded pothole or sink), and IP69 (handles high-pressure, hot water jets—think factory floors or Chennai summers). The “Armour Body” design includes shock-absorbing edges, reinforced corners, and a camera ring lifted to avoid scratches. Even the internal frame uses aerospace-grade metal, making it 10% sturdier than older models.
OPPO has put the F29 through 14 military-grade tests, from -40°C freezes to desert-like dust storms. The brand, already India’s top pick for water-resistant phones (per Counterpoint Research), says these devices won’t flinch during monsoons, dusty commutes, or accidental drops.
The phones also have a new “Hunter Antenna” that claims to boost signal strength by 300%, helping riders stay connected in elevators, remote areas, or cramped warehouses.
Over the past six months, OPPO has reported a 30% increase in sales for its F Series. The F29 Pro will be available in Marble White and Granite Black, while the F29 will come in Solid Purple and Glacier Blue. All the details will be confirmed at tomorrow’s launch. In the meantime, you can check out our previous coverage to learn more about these upcoming smartphones.

Xiaomi could be planning on launching the POCO F7 series in the Indian market soon. A fresh leak has hinted that the POCO F7 could be released in the region along with another higher end model from the F7 lineup. So here’s what we know.
POCO F7 Series India Launch Rumored
The news arrives from a known tipster Sudhanshu Ambhore on X (formerly Twitter). In his tweet, he shared a couple of tweets from the CEO of POCO India, Himanshu Tandon, and also stated that the POCO F7 series will be launching in India soon. It is unclear whether the POCO F7 Pro or F7 Ultra will launch in India, although previous rumors have pointed at only the base model arriving in the Indian market.
POCO F7 Ultra and POCO F7 Pro
The tweets from POCO India’s CEO also hinted that the POCO F7 in India might be carrying a larger battery pack compared to its global variant. He stated that POCO aims to offer bigger batteries when launching smartphones in India, with the POCO X7 Pro being a great example since it had a massive 6,000mAh battery pack. This was 500mAh larger than the global variant. Similarly, the Chinese brand could be planning on releasing the POCO F7 series with a bigger cell in India.
Samsung has officially launched its latest productivity powerhouse in China — the ViewFinity S80UD (2025) 37-inch 4K monitor, model LS37D802UACXXF, now available on JD.com for 3,999 yuan (~$555). This ultra-large display is aimed squarely at professionals who need more room to think, create, and multitask without compromise.
Samsung ViewFinity S80UD Specifications
The ViewFinity S80UD features a 37-inch UHD display with a 3840 x 2160 resolution and 16:9 aspect ratio, delivering sharp clarity for detailed tasks. It comes with HDR10 support for richer colors and deeper contrast, while its wide 178-degree viewing angle ensures consistent image quality from any angle.
The display uses a VA panel with a 60Hz refresh rate, 5ms GtG response time, 350 nits of brightness, and a 3000:1 contrast ratio, supporting 10-bit color for smooth and accurate gradients.
In terms of color accuracy, the ViewFinity S80UD supports 100% sRGB coverage for precise, true-to-life visuals. It also comes with TÜV Rheinland-certified eye care features, including reduced blue light and flicker-free technology, while an ambient light sensor automatically adjusts brightness and color temperature for comfortable viewing in any environment.
The monitor comes with multiple connectivity options, including a 90W USB Type-C port, HDMI, DisplayPort, LAN port, and three USB-A ports, allowing easy connection to various devices.
It also features a built-in KVM switch, letting you control two different devices with a single keyboard and mouse, making multitasking seamless. The monitor supports both picture-in-picture (PIP) and picture-by-picture (PBP) modes for more flexible and efficient multitasking.
The S80UD sports an ergonomic stand with height adjustment, tilt, and swivel functions, allowing you to set the display at the most comfortable viewing angle. The design is minimalist and clean, with a slim bezel and a sleek metal base that adds a premium touch to any workspace. The monitor also supports tool-free installation and disassembly, making setup easy and convenient.
The author has always had a preference for physical-paper books, and handwritten notes. I rarely use any digital devices like smartphones or tablets in the studio for daily note-taking, even though there’re quite a lot of tablets with paper-like screens in the office. I know my experience doesn’t apply to most people, as I just simply couldn’t read e-books on screens for a long-lasting time. However, in such a digital era, it’s inevitable that from time to time I’ll need to do my work through a screen. Fighting it somehow, I’m still sticking with handwriting to meet my miss of physical page flipping. But the team recently noticed my notebooks had been replaced by something new—the XPPen Magic Note Pad. Well, this is the best paper-like tablet I could find for fitting my reading and writing.
Appearance
As the other reviewers got to try this particular tablet, at the beginning, the XPPen Magic Note Pad looks much like a regular smart tablet. But I really see it differently. The review story is also about how I convinced them.
At first glance, it is like a drawing tablet widely used in the design industry, rather than a common tablet. It features a silver bezel and about an 11-inch display, which is how it could be so special as a note-taking device. I will talk more about the magic display later.
The backcover is in pure white with a light elegant logo printed, with a slightly matt finish. Similar to a smart tablet, the front face features a front camera on the top for facial recognition and video-meeting uses. On the left side, there’s a dedicated slot as a magnetic pen holder. The accompanied pencil can be firmly attached on the slot position.
Screen
As mentioned, one of the primary reasons I chose this Pad is the screen with a fine matt finish. It claims to be the world’s first 3-in-1 Color Note Pad. Unlike other e-ink screens, the Magic Note Pad offers up to three intelligent color modes, including Nature Colour Mode, Light Colour Mode and an special Ink Paper Mode.
With Ink Paper Mode on, the grayscale (black&white) display is sharp and clear, making text extremely comfortable to read, similar to those fine e-ink screens, without causing eye fatigue during long reading sessions. But obviously, it’s not the traditional E-ink pannel with a limited refresh rate. However, its visual effect is still very close to the texture of a paper page, while the whole UI has been accordingly optimized and beautified similarly to those E-ink devices, brief but informative. It’s truly enjoyable to have such a great reading experience with books, line drawings and comics here.
The Light Color mode is designed for various lighting conditions, with low-saturation colors that are gentle on the eyes, which is more about to simulate a color-e-ink effect. But since it has a high resolution (1920×1200) and up to 90Hz refresh rate, it can provide more detailed images and smoother animations.
The Natural Color mode, on the other hand, accurately reproduces colors, delivering a sense of depth and realism. When viewing comics or artworks, it feels like you’re having a fine printed coated paper book rather than a cold electronic device.
Compared to most E-ink displays, the most notable feature is its 90Hz refresh rate. If you’ve ever used a traditional e-ink reader, you’ll understand the patience required for even simple page-turning. I have to emphasize again, the Magic Note Pad excels in this part, offering a smooth experience that traditional e-ink screens cannot match.
Whether writing, drawing, or scrolling, the screen is virtually lag-free, with no noticeable ghosting. Once you’ve experienced this level of fluidity, it’s hard to find an excuse to go back with most E-ink devices, unless you are fine with the E-ink’s compromise in smoothness and image quality. The difference is impressive, by comparing it to the regular e-ink screen.
When it comes to eye protection, which is crucial, given the long hours we spend in front of screens, the screen on this pad is certified by TÜV SÜD for low blue light and paper-like display.
This is not an exaggeration; The ink-like screens genuinely reduce harmful blue light and eliminate screen flicker, preventing eye strain and fatigue.
The screen also features AG nano-etching technology, which minimizes glare and reflection while providing a natural writing resistance, enhancing the authenticity of the writing experience. This is another professional advantage coming from the brand: XPPen truly brings their powerful handwriting&drawing pen experience to the new tablet.
Pen
The writing experience with the XPPen Magic Note Pad is exceptional. It comes with the X3 Pro Pencil 2, which offers 16K ultra-sensitive pressure levels. This is significantly better than the 4096 or 8192 levels found in other brands.
The pen captures every ounce of pressure applied, and the lines it creates are very natural and fluid. The soft tip design ensures smooth gliding on the screen, avoiding the harsh feel of writing on glass. It feels almost identical to writing on paper.
The pencil operates via electromagnetic resonance (EMR) technology, with no need for charging or Bluetooth pairing.
Additionally, the pen features a convenient shortcut button that enhances workflow efficiency, by providing quick access to eraser and customizable controls. The placement of the feature is particularly well-thought-out.
However, we did notice one minor issue: when the pen cursor is activated, it can sometimes interfere with the writing experience. But at the same time, for fine painting, and it could help with the positioning of the brushstrokes. If you can get used to it, the drawing experience on the Note Pad will be vastly boosted.
XPPen Notes
The stock App, the XPPen Notes, is another standout feature. If you’re looking for a digital note-taking app that matches your imagination and your schedule, XPPen Notes is probably the perfect solution.
First of all, creating notes has never been easier. With just one click on the desktop, you can quickly generate a note in seconds. Need to import lecture slides or project files? No problem with just one step. And XPPen Notes also supports PDF import, then allowing you to gather all important files in one place.
With pen mode, your X3 Pro Pencil 2 is like an extension of your hand, providing a precise writing and drawing experience, just as natural as using physical paper and pen. It’s not often we see such a combo on other brands’ devices. Either the writing experience needs to be optimized, or it’s diifficult to provide wider features beyond writing experience.
Switch to touch mode, you can use your fingers to record ideas or outline plans at any time, perfect for those moments of inspiration. But trust me – you probably rarely write with your finger out of sheer love for this pen.
Back to writing, we can choose from a variety of writing modes, pen, pencil, fountain pen, laser pointer, and highlighter. Each mode has its unique functions.
For example, the fountain pen is perfect for practicing calligraphy or detailed notes, with the great supports adjusting pressure sensitivity and line thickness.
The fountain pen provides even and consistent strokes, while the highlighter makes it easy to highlight the key points. And the laser pointer? It’s like a mini tutor in your hand, with lines and dots that automatically disappear after a while, so you never have to worry about erasing again!
There’s also a single-stroke shaping tool, so you can draw perfect lines, geometric shapes, and even 3D coordinates with a few clicks.
Reading is also enjoyable and convenient. Switch to reading mode and the toolbar disappears, giving you a clean, distraction-free view. But don’t worry, you can still use the underline, annotation, translation, and hyperlink features.
Speaking of translation, XPPen Notes supports 12 languages, allowing you to conquer foreign texts with confidence. And the Text Box Input Tool? It’s like typing on a digital canvas, with support for custom fonts, weights, colors, and spacing. Your notes will be as sophisticated as your style!
Another impressive bonus comes with audio recording. Whether you are in a lecture or a meeting, XPPen Notes instantly turns into a recorder. Record in segments and export as MP4 files so that you won’t miss a word.
In addition to these, the XPPen Note provides four smart eye protection modes. Seamless storage, access anytime, anywhere. Once you finish taking notes on the app, your notes are automatically saved on the device and can be uploaded to OneDrive or Google Drive for cross-device editing and backup.
Android System and Performance
The tablet runs on Android 14, and with the full power of the Google Play Store’s extensive app ecosystem, you can install apps based on your needs and workflow, just as I do.
Conclusion
Overall, while the XPPen Magic Note Pad is not perfect. To be honest, it lacks a built-in book source and library, and its processor doesn’t support more advanced operations. But luckily it runs an Android and you have plenty of third-party options. And its more expanded features will depend on how you utilize external apps to round out your library.
Still, eye protection and writing experience are really good. Whether for a long time learning, working, or creating, it is comfortable for both the eyes and the hand. I’m very happy to see the launch of such a special and powerful tablet. The friendly exeprience also gives me the confidence to recommend it to the audiences. But I must admit there are a lot of details worth exploring on the tablet outside of my review. If any of you are interested in it, it’s a good chance to find out more about the XPPen Magic Note Pad from the link here.
Apple has long been rumored to be working on a foldable iPhone, which is also expected to carry a hefty price tag. Now industry analyst Tim Long speculates a $2,300 price tag for the device in the US.
This estimate reportedly follows a trip to Asia where Long’s team met with suppliers, who indicated a likely launch window of late 2026 to early 2027. For context, this is nearly double the starting price of the iPhone 16 Pro Max – $1,199.
It’s in line with earlier predictions
Earlier this month, renowned Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo also predicted a price range of $2,000 to $2,500, further narrowing expectations. Kuo provided additional details about the device. He suggests it will feature a 7.8-inch folding screen, a 5.5-inch cover display, two rear cameras, a Touch ID power button, and a high-density battery.
When unfolded, the device is expected to be 4.5mm thin, thickening to 9mm to 9.5mm when folded. The frame will reportedly use titanium, with the hinge combining titanium and stainless steel for durability.
While expectations are high about the foldable iPhone, you should also keep in mind that this is going to be the brand’s first phone with a foldable display and a hinge. There were several issues with the early generations of book-style Galaxy foldables, and the company has yet to solve the crease problem. The high price tag is also expected to limit the sales volume, somewhat like what we have seen with the Apple Vision Pro.
Apple does have a track record of perfecting the technology before building a consumer product with it, and it will be interesting to see how many of the challenges they have managed to fix.

Samsung’s upcoming foldable smartphones, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 7, are expected to bring a couple of minor improvements including a redesigned hinge, a slightly larger battery (for the Flip), and a 200MP camera for the book-style foldable. However, China’s 3C certification platform reveals some disappointing information as well: the charging speed.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6
While we have seen some battery life improvements over the years (mostly thanks to the more efficient chips), we are yet to see an improvement in the charging seed that’s worth mentioning. The Galaxy Z Fold 2 (from 2020) and Z Flip 4 (from 2022) were the first Galaxy foldable phones to support 25W wired charging. It has been years this aspect has seen an upgrade.
China’s 3C reveals the charging speed of the upcoming foldables
Recent certifications from the China Compulsory Certification (CCC or 3C) reveal that two new Samsung devices, bearing model numbers SM-F7660 and SM-F9660, were tested with the EP-TA800 charger. It supports a maximum output of 25W (9V/2.77A).
Judging from the pattern of the model numbers, the two phones are believed to be the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 7. While this doesn’t confirm that 25W is the maximum charging speed, one of the primary purposes of certification testing for phones is to ensure safety. So it’s likely that the phones will be tested with the maximum supported charging speed with an official charger.
As for the rumored specifications, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is rumored to feature a 4,300mAh battery (up from 4,000 mAh), while the Galaxy Z Fold 7 could retain its 4,400mAh battery. Both devices will reportedly pack larger displays, with the Z Flip 7 reportedly sporting a 6.85-inch foldable screen and a 4-inch cover screen, and the Z Fold 7 expected to have a 6.5-inch cover screen and an 8.2-inch foldable screen.

Pebble smartwatches had been expected to make a comeback with the previously announced PebbleOS. Now, the PebbleOS has unveiled two new smartwatch with their iconic e-paper displays, which are dubbed the Core 2 Duo and Core Time 2. So let’s check them out.
Core 2 Duo
The founder of Pebble smartwatch, Eric Migicovsky, just unveiled these smartwatches from the Core lineup. The first of these is the Core 2 Duo, which retains the original Pebble design and uses the open source PebbleOS. It sports a 1.26-inch black and white e-paper display and features over 10,000 Pebble apps and various watch faces as well. It has a polycarbonate build quality that also offers IPX8 water resistance.
The Core 2 Duo model houses a microphone and can even track your steps and sleep cycle. One of the highlighting aspects of Pebble’s e-paper smartwatches were its long endurance, and the Core 2 Duo improves upon this with an impressive 30 day battery life. This is up from the Pebble 2’s 7 day battery life. It runs on the Nordic nRF52840 BLE chipset and features more reliable buttons as well. Core 2 Duo even packs a speaker along with a barometer and compass.

The Core Time 2 appears to be the more fancy offering between the newly announced duo. Eric went as far as to call it his “dream watch”. It sports a taller 1.5-inch e-paper display with 46-bit colors, a higher 200×228 resolution, and touchscreen support. This model also supports numerous watch faces and over 10,000 Pebble apps.

There is also a microphone, a speaker, and a linear resonance actuator. The device has a standard 22mm strap. Both models run on the PebbleOS platform, so you get basic fitness tracking,
Pricing and Availability

Itel is gearing up to launch a new budget-friendly 5G smartphone with AI-driven features and a sleek design in India. While the brand has yet to reveal the device’s name, some key details have already surfaced.
Upcoming Itel 5G phone aims to make AI accessible
As seen in the leaked images, the upcoming Itel smartphone will sport a 7.8mm ultra-slim design. Another leaked image showcases a punch-hole display with a 120Hz refresh rate, promising smooth visuals.
One of the key highlights of this device is the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset. However, other hardware specifications remain unknown at this point.
On the AI front, the mysterious Itel phone is expected to come with real-time translation, text generation, and content discovery features. These AI capabilities could set it apart from other budget-friendly smartphones, as no phones in this price range currently offer similar AI-driven functionalities.
Expected launch and pricing
The smartphone is expected to launch in April, potentially bringing AI-powered features to budget-conscious users. Given that it is powered by the Dimensity 6300 chip, the phone could be priced between Rs 10,000 and Rs 12,000 in India. The brand also promises a free screen replacement within the first 120 days of purchase for the buyers of the upcoming phone.
In related news, itel unveiled the Gen Z-focused itel Zeno 10 (hands-on) in January this year with a price tag of Rs 5,699. The device features a 6.56-inch HD+ LCD screen, a Unisoc T603 chipset, 3 GB / 4 GB of RAM, 64 GB of storage, a 5,000mAh battery with 10W charging support, an itel OS-based Android 14, a 5-megapixel front camera, an 8-megapixel rear camera, and a side-facing fingerprint sensor.

While multiple brands have actively launched book-style foldables over the past few years, it seems they are taking a different approach this year. Oppo recently introduced the Oppo Find N5 in China and Southeast Asia. While the OnePlus Open 2 was expected to debut as a rebranded version in markets like India and the US, OnePlus unexpectedly announced that it would not be launching a foldable phone this year, confirming that the Open 2 is not happening. At the same time, doubts persist about Xiaomi’s plans—while the brand is expected to launch the Mix Flip 2, it may not release the Mix Fold 5 this year. Now, a new leak raises questions about the existence of the rumored Vivo X Fold 4 and Huawei Mate X7.
Vivo X Fold 4 Pro – Will it skipped this year?
The Weibo post shown above from tipster Digital Chat Station, originally shared in January, listing the foldable phones expected from Chinese brands this year. These included the Oppo Find N5, Honor Magic V4, Vivo X Fold 4, and Huawei Mate X7. Notably, the post did not mention the Xiaomi Mix Fold 5.
Now, in a fresh leak, the tipster states that the only remaining Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered foldable phone is the Honor Magic V4. This casts doubt on the existence of the Vivo X Fold 4 (or X Fold 4 Pro, if that was its intended name).
To recall, Vivo’s X Fold series has always featured the latest Snapdragon chipset. Last year, the brand launched two foldables—the Vivo X Fold 3 and X Fold 3 Pro —powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, respectively. Earlier reports suggested that this year, Vivo would release only one foldable, the X Fold 4 Pro, equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite and a 6,000mAh battery.
Now, the new leak hints that Vivo might either launch the Vivo X Fold 4 Pro with a different Snapdragon chip or possibly a MediaTek SoC like the upcoming Dimensity 9400 Plus. Alternatively, the brand may completely skip launching a book-style foldable this year. However, before drawing any conclusions, it would be best to wait for further reports to clarify whether the X Fold 4 Pro will be released.
As for the Huawei Mate X7, it is still expected to launch in the second half of this year, featuring the company’s in-house Kirin chipset. For those who are waiting for the Magic V4, Honor is expected to unveil it in June this year in China.

Renowned Chinese actor Li Xian was recently seen using the upcoming Oppo Find X8s on a film set, sparking discussions about the upcoming device. Following this, Zhou Yibao, Oppo’s Find series product head, shared a video revealing the phone’s front design. He also shared some details about the slim profile and weight of the compact flagship phone. Here’s a look at the details shared by the Oppo executive.
Oppo Find X8s design revealed

The Oppo Find X8s is being positioned as a premium compact flagship with a lightweight design. Yibao revealed that the device weighs under 180g, making it nearly 20g lighter than the iPhone 16 Pro. It also has a thickness of less than 7.8mm, offering a sleeker profile compared to the 8.25mm iPhone 16 Pro.
For those who don’t know, it is expected to feature a 6.31-inch OLED panel. The rear-view image of the phone suggests that it will continue to sport a round camera module like the existing Find X8 series of smartphones. However, the module does appear smaller and thinner thanks to the compact form factor of the device.

Earlier this week, Yibao revealed that the Find X8s features the world’s narrowest four-sided equal bezels, reportedly slimmer than those on the iPhone 16 Pro. The display benefits from Oppo’s in-house chip-level screen encapsulation technology, reducing the black border to just 1.xx mm.
Despite its compact frame, Oppo has managed to integrate a high-capacity battery. While he did not reveal the exact capacity, reports have revealed that it will feature a massive 5,700mAh battery with 80W wired and 50W wireless charging support. At the core of the Oppo Find X8s is the upcoming Dimensity 9400+, an overclocked version of the Dimensity 9400. It is said to be equipped with a Cortex-X925 prime core that operates at 3.7GHz.
The Find X8s is expected to debut in April alongside a slew of other devices, such as the Find X8s+, Find X8 Ultra, Oppo Pad 4 Pro tablet, and Enco Free 4 TWS earbuds.

The midrange Android tablet market in India just got a lot more interesting. Lenovo has introduced the Idea Tab Pro, while Xiaomi has launched the Xiaomi Pad 7 recently — both positioned to cater to users looking for capable all-rounders without spending flagship-level money. But with both offering powerful hardware, high-refresh-rate displays, and productivity-focused accessories, how do they stack up against each other?
Display and Design
Lenovo’s Idea Tab Pro features a large 12.7-inch LTPS LCD screen with a 3K resolution (2944 x 1840 pixels), a smooth 144Hz refresh rate, and up to 400 nits of brightness. It’s a big, bold display designed for everything from Netflix marathons to light creative work. The tablet weighs 615 grams and has a thickness of 6.9mm, making it reasonably portable despite the larger screen.
Xiaomi’s Pad 7, on the other hand, opts for an 11.2-inch 3.2K display (3200 x 2136 pixels) with variable refresh rates up to 144Hz. The standout feature here is the Nano Texture option, which cuts down glare and reflections by up to 99%. It’s noticeably lighter at 499 grams and thinner at 6.18mm, with a sleek unibody metal design that feels premium and travel-friendly.

Performance
Under the hood, Lenovo’s Idea Tab Pro is powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 8300 chipset, paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage (expandable via microSD). The 4nm chipset promises smooth multitasking, gaming, and content creation, and it’s a big leap from the older Dimensity 7050.
Xiaomi goes with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 processor, which has quickly earned a reputation for delivering near-flagship performance. Paired with 8GB or 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and faster UFS 4.0 storage on the higher variant, the Pad 7 is clearly optimized for both speed and efficiency.
Software and AI Features
Lenovo’s tablet runs on Android 14 with ZUI 16 and will receive two years of OS updates along with four years of security patches. It also brings Google Gemini integration, allowing features like circle-to-search and an AI assistant. Lenovo’s Smart Connect suite further improves device-to-device integration, allowing file sharing, app streaming to PCs, and a Smart Clipboard for seamless cross-device copy-pasting.
Xiaomi Pad 7 ships with Android 15-based HyperOS 2.0. This comes with its own set of AI-powered features, such as AI Writing and AI Live Subtitles. Xiaomi also bundles its Xiaomi Creation tools for digital artists and creators.
Audio and Accessories
Both tablets come with quad-speaker setups tuned with Dolby Atmos support. Lenovo uses JBL speakers for immersive audio, while Xiaomi’s setup also includes four microphones for clearer video calls and voice commands.
Accessories are where these devices lean toward becoming productivity machines. Lenovo’s Idea Tab Pro supports the Lenovo Tab Pen Plus and an optional 2-in-1 keyboard with 0.2mm key concavity for comfortable typing. Xiaomi answers with its Focus Keyboard featuring stepless angle adjustments, a mechanical-style touchpad, and adaptive backlighting. The Focus Pen supports 8192 levels of pressure sensitivity, making it ideal for sketching and note-taking.
Battery and Charging
Lenovo packs a hefty 10,200mAh battery that promises up to 11 hours of video playback and supports 45W fast charging. Xiaomi’s battery is slightly smaller at 8,850mAh but also supports 45W charging, so you won’t be waiting around for either tablet to power up.
Pricing and Availability
Pricing lines up closely. Both brands have priced their 8GB+128GB variants at Rs. 27,999 and the 12GB+256GB models at Rs. 30,999. Xiaomi’s Nano Texture Display edition comes at a slight premium of Rs. 32,999.
Which One Should You Buy?
The Lenovo Idea Tab Pro is the better choice for those who want a larger screen, more battery life, and seamless integration with other devices in Lenovo’s ecosystem. But if portability, refined design, and raw performance matter more — and if you’re eager to try HyperOS’s AI features — the Xiaomi Pad 7 has the edge.
Ultimately, both tablets bring a lot to the table, but your choice will depend on whether you value a larger display and longevity (Lenovo) or premium build and AI-driven features (Xiaomi). Either way, India’s midrange tablet market has never looked more exciting.
