Samsung is facing backlash from customers of its soundbars as a recent software update bricked a significant number of units of those products. It even includes high-end models like the Q800D, Q990D, and Q995D, which is a shame as most of the users think of quality and reliability as the two key aspects of a Samsung product.
Samsung Q990D
The update was rolled out earlier last week
The update, which carried firmware version 1020, was rolled out earlier last week without a changelog, which left uses in the dark about what was going to happen. While it’s certainly unintentional, it does shed some light on the lack of quality control of the entire process.
According to numerous complaints on Samsung’s Community forum and Reddit, the issue begins after the soundbar displays a welcome message (“Hello”) and the input source. It fails to connect to the TV, forcing the TV to revert to its built-in speakers. Attempts to troubleshoot the problem by adjusting the volume or turning the soundbar off using the remote or physical buttons have proven futile. Even disconnecting and reconnecting the power cable couldn’t resolve the issue.
Customers who reached out to Samsung’s customer support reportedly received little assistance. Representatives acknowledged the problem but stated that it had been escalated to the warranty team, with no immediate solution provided.
The faulty update has effectively bricked the affected soundbars, which has rendered them unusable. Many are now asking Samsung to replace the devices regardless of their warranty status, as the problem stems directly from the company’s software update. And it’s not only the software. A Galaxy Buds FE exploded last year while in use.
Samsung has yet to issue an official statement or solution, and the growing number of complaints suggests that the brand will need to take swift action to maintain the trust it has earned over the years.

OnePlus might be planning on launching a new mini variant of the OnePlus Watch 3 in India soon. A new leak has hinted at the brand’s plan to release a new smaller version of the Oppo Watch X2/OnePlus Watch 3 in the global markets in the coming months. However, an Indian tipster has claimed that the Indian release of this mini OnePlus Watch 3 is right around the corner. So here’s what we know.
OnePlus Watch 3 mini 43mm in the works
To recall, the Chinese smartphone maker debuted the OnePlus Watch 3 in China last month. Now, its global release is near with a fresh leak hinting at a new 43mm size variant. The news arrives from known tipster Abhishek Yadav who shared the details on X (formerly Twitter). In the tweet, he also adds that this new model will have an 18mm strap. To recall, this model was initially released in a single 46mm size option.
There are also rumors circulating of an Oppo Watch X2 Mini model, which could arrive in a 42mm size. So this could be rebranded as the upcoming OnePlus Watch for the global market. It is worth noting that this is still just an unconfirmed report, take this news with a pinch of salt for now. The OnePlus Watch 3 released in China sports a 1.5-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a bright 2,200 nits peak brightness. This display is housed in a titanium alloy bezel with a stainless steel body for added durability and a sleek design.

Despite Samsung‘s negligible presence in China’s smartphone market, the South Korean tech giant has emerged as a key player in supplying memory chips to the country. A recent report reveals that Samsung exported $44.6 billion worth of chips to China in 2023, surpassing its exports to the United States, which stood at $42.1 billion. This marks a significant 53.9% year-over-year increase, driven by China’s economic stimulus policies aimed at boosting demand for newer devices.
China’s aggressive economic measures, which injected over $20 billion into the market, have spurred the replacement of older smartphones and home appliances with newer models. This has created a surge in demand for memory chips, which benefits suppliers like Samsung and SK Hynix.
It’s not Exynos—mostly memory chips and image sensors
Samsung primarily supplies NAND flash, LPDDR memory, image sensors, and display driver ICs to China, along with some high-bandwidth memory (HBM) modules. The company has adopted a dual-track strategy, where it sells legacy memory products in China and advanced HBM modules in Western markets like the US.
Nonetheless, with Samsung making this information public, its growth in China could soon hit hurdles due to the ongoing US-imposed chip sanctions. These restrictions may prevent the company from selling some of its most advanced and lucrative memory products in China in the near future.
As the trade war between the US and China continues, industry analysts warn that these sanctions could expand, which will force Samsung and other memory manufacturers to navigate a delicate balance between the two economic superpowers. For now, Samsung remains a critical player in China’s tech supply chain, but the company’s future success will depend on how it adapts to the evolving geopolitical landscape.

Samsung has a history of introducing innovative features in its smartphones, only to discontinue them later. However, one such feature—variable aperture—might be making a comeback with the upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra.
Huawei Mate 50 Pro variable aperture
According to prolific leaker Ice Universe, Samsung is considering adding a variable aperture mechanism to the main camera of the S26 Ultra. For those unfamiliar, it adjusts the light intake based on the environment for optimal quality. As a biproduct, it also lets you control the background blur, while the brightness can be managed by adjusting the ISO. So for the users, it is a good thing to have as it adds some flexibility that helps in certain conditions.
Is Samsung finally prioritizing innovation again?
The Galaxy S9 and S9+ were one of the first smartphones to pack this feature, where the main camera could switch between two different aperture values – f/1.5 and f/2.4. The f/1.5 setting was ideal for low-light conditions, which allows more light into the sensor for brighter and less noisy images. On the other hand, the f/2.4 aperture was better suited for well-lit scenarios, which offers a wider field of focus. The f/2.4 or a similar setting is beneficial when you want to capture a closeup shot of a relatively larger object and you want the entire object to be in focus.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra – S Pen
Although this variable aperture mechanism was carried over to the Galaxy S10 series, Samsung removed this feature starting with the Galaxy S20 series.
Later on, Huawei has adopted and improved the technology. The Mate 50 Pro, for instance, can adjust between f/1.4 to f/4.0 with a total of 10-stop range.
Now, rumors suggest that Samsung is planning to reintroduce it with the Galaxy S26 Ultra. But it remains unclear whether it will be a true variable aperture system (with multiple settings) or a dual-aperture setup like the one seen on the Galaxy S9.
In addition to the camera upgrades, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to feature a couple improvements in other areas as well. The device is rumored to include a 50MP sensor for its 3x zoom telephoto camera, which builds on the 50MP telephoto and ultrawide cameras introduced in the Galaxy S24 Ultra and S25 Ultra, respectively.

Samsung’s One UI is one of the most popular custom Android skins, offering a clean and smooth software experience with plenty of customization. Every new version brings a new set of features and improvements. However, the last few releases felt almost the same, as there weren’t significant visual upgrades. However, One UI 7 promises a major visual refresh, as well as many new features and dozens of improvements.
The One UI 7 software took longer than usual to cook in the oven. Samsung says it took more than two years on planning and development. However, the rollout has been sluggish so far. Not even a single Galaxy device has received the stable One UI 7 update yet. The stable rollout will begin in April. This significant delay makes people question if waiting for the One UI 7 update makes sense. Is One UI 7 just another upgrade with minor tweaks, or are there significant changes? The answer seems to be a yes because of these five reasons.
1. Significant visual redesign
One UI 7 is Samsung’s biggest visual redesign in recent years, giving users a fresh feel. The update brings bold aesthetics with vibrant, colorful app icons that look visually appealing. The animations feel smoother throughout the interface, creating a fluid experience when switching apps and multitasking.
Samsung has separated the notification panel and Quick Settings for easier access—swiping down from the left reveals the notification panel, and the other side opens the Quick Settings. You can reverse the change at any point, though. The notifications themselves have been upgraded to a pill-shaped design and increased size, making them easier to look at and interact with.
Perhaps the most innovative addition is the new “Now Bar” — a pill-shared dynamic element that appears at the bottom of the lock screen and provides quick access to ongoing activities, such as music playback, timers, and navigation updates. This interactive element reduces the need to switch between apps for common tasks.
One UI 7 also brings new charging animations that look cool and enhance the visual experience. In an unlocked state, the device uses the Now Bar to display the charging status and battery level, and when it’s locked, the battery icon turns green and shows a “Charging” text when connecting the charger.
There are many more visual changes that contribute to a more interactive and enjoyable software experience.
One UI 7 takes customizations to new heights with new options and improvements throughout the interface. It brings many new widgets that can be customized in many ways to give your home screen a new look.
Speaking of the home screen, it now includes the Home Up options for additional customizations without the need for a separate app. The latest One UI skin lets you add stickers on the home screen and supports free-form layouts, breaking away from grid layouts.
The lock screen has also been updated for improved personalization. There are new clock designs with more control over their placement and sizing. The update also brings new widgets for the lock screen for a more personalized experience. You can also customize the two shortcuts at the bottom.
You can also rearrange the different segments and widgets any way you want. Just hit the pencil icon at the top to go into the editing mode. The brightness and volume slider position can’t be changed, though.
3. Advanced Galaxy AI integration
One UI 7 expands AI capabilities that make Galaxy devices smarter and more helpful than before. The Writing Assist now works across the UI and with any keyboard (previously restricted to Samsung Keyboard). This enables seamless text improvisation on the go without needing to switch the keyboard or the app.
With One UI 7, Samsung has introduced automatic call transcripts in 20 different languages. When call recording is enabled, the device automatically creates a transcript of the conversation, so you don’t need to manually note important details from the conversation.
There’s also an AI audio eraser that improves the audio quality of videos by removing unwanted background sounds. The object eraser tool now also works with videos. It lets users select and remove unwanted objects from video frames.
One UI 7 also introduces Now Brief, which can analyze your habits to present relevant information and suggest helpful actions. Since it requires extensive on-device processing, Samsung might not bring it to less-powerful devices.
4. Cleaner Camera UI
The Camera app in One UI 7 looks less cluttered and provides easier access to controls. The top menu now has fewer options, while the remaining controls are hidden inside an expandable button.
The camera modes have moved below the shutter button, making switching between photo, video, and other modes easier. Another essential addition is a zoom slider in the Pro Video mode.
Samsung has also added an “Audio playback” feature that lets users record videos while playing music in the background. This could be particularly useful for creating dance or lip-sync videos.
5. Essential improvements
One UI 7 brings plenty of other changes, but there are some you should know about. First is the vertical app drawer — yes, it’s here, finally. You can now scroll in a single motion with a sidebar that lets you jump directly to specific letters to find apps even faster.
You can go back to the old horizontal layout anytime, but with how intuitive and effortless the new design feels, I doubt many will want to. Samsung has also improved the existing multitasking feature for better productivity.
One UI 7 brings new battery protection modes to optimize battery health. Samsung phones also get the app archiving feature to save some storage by uninstalling the app while keeping the user data around. Although it’s an Android 15 feature, it can be a reason to upgrade to the newest software.
Whether you like visual upgrades, personalizing your phone with new customizations, or using AI to make things easier, there are a host of new features and improvements to look forward to. Which One UI 7 feature are you excited for the most? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
Sony has introduced a new display system with an independent RGB LED backlight, allowing separate control of red, green, and blue light. This enhances color accuracy and vibrancy, making it suitable for both film production and home entertainment. The technology, designed for large screens, uses high-density LEDs and proprietary backlight algorithms to achieve precise color gradations.
Conventional LED backlight systemNew independent drive RGB LED system
Mass production is set for 2025, with plans to integrate the system into consumer TVs and professional monitors. It builds on Sony’s RGB LED innovations dating back to 2004 and features a 99% DCI-P3 and 90% BT.2020 color gamut coverage. Peak brightness exceeds 4,000 cd/m², matching Sony’s professional-grade displays. It also has a 96-bit signal processor that ensures deep blacks, bright whites, and improved mid-tone saturation compared to OLED technology.
A key feature is scene-specific dynamic power allocation, which adjusts luminance for each RGB channel without overemphasizing highlights. This helps maintain smooth color transitions in uniform scenes like skies or foliage. A dense backlight structure and a dedicated control processor—twice as powerful as standard systems—prevent details from being lost in bright highlights or dark shadows.
Sony partnered with MediaTek for the control processor, ROHM for LED drive ICs, and Sanan Optoelectronics for LED components. This technology is designed for professionals who need precise color grading and for everyday users who want theater-quality visuals at home. It fits within Sony’s dual focus on high-end production tools, like BRAVIA reference monitors, and mainstream entertainment.

iQOO is a known brand that makes smartphones with cutting edge hardware at a reasonable price tag. Two great examples of this are the iQOO Neo 10R and iQOO Neo 9 Pro. But which one is a better affordable flagship and which offers better value? Read on to find out.
Considering both of these devices are affordable flagships, the Chinese brand skips a metal frame in favor of a plastic one for the design. But for those looking for a more premium build quality, the Neo 9 Pro features a glass or vegan leather rear panel. Meanwhile, the Neo 10R has a plastic back. However, the iQOO Neo 10R fires back with an IP64 rating for protection against dust and low pressure water jets. The iQOO Neo 9 Pro only offers an IP54 rating for dust and splash resistance.
On the front, both models sport a tall 6.78-inch AMOLED display (LTPO on the Neo 9 Pro) with an FHD+ resolution, a 144Hz refresh rate and HDR10+. The Neo 10R has a brighter peak brightness of 4500 nits, while the Neo 9 Pro maxes out at 3000 nits. So you can expect a similar visual experience on both models for the most part.
2. Specifications
iQOO Neo 10R
There are plenty of differences between the iQOO Neo 10R and Neo 9 Pro in terms of specs and features. One of these is the chipset with the iQOO Neo 9 Pro packing the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. While the Neo 10R has a newer Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, the performance on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 matches if not slightly surpasses the 8s Gen 3.
A sizeable 5,160mAh battery pack powers the Neo 9 Pro, which supports an impressive 120W wired fast charging. However, the iQOO Neo 10R offers a major upgrade with a massive 6,400mAh cell, although it only supports 80W wired fast charging. The duo feature a 50MP (Main) + 8MP (Ultra Wide) dual camera setup on the rear. For selfies and video calls, the Neo 10R has a 32MP shooter and the Neo 9 Pro packs a 16MP sensor. It is worth noting that iQOO’s Neo 9 Pro offers 8K recording at 30fps (Neo 10R maxes out at 4K recording).
3. Pricing & Verdict
The iQOO Neo 10R is a newer smartphone from the brand, which debuted in India with a ₹26,999 starting price tag for the 8GB+128GB variant. On the other hand, the iQOO Neo 9 Pro is currently selling for ₹31,998 for the 8GB + 128GB option. It typically sells for ₹34,999, but the device is currently on sale.
So depending on your preferences, you won’t go wrong with either model. The iQOO Neo 9 Pro is a more rounded option with a better design and capable performance. However, the iQOO Neo 10R is more affordable and will offer longer software support.
