Tesla entering the Indian market: Showrooms planned for Mumbai and Delhi

After various rumors and reports, Tesla is finally arriving in the Indian market. The company is bringing its popular electric vehicles to the region soon, with a fresh report revealing the major cities where these cars would make their Indian debut. So let’s check it out.

Tesla’s first showroom might be in BKC, Mumbai

The American EV maker is reportedly planning on opening its first showrooms in both Mumbai and Delhi, two metropolitan cities in India (Via MySmartPrice). Tesla has even secured a 4,000 square foot space on the ground floor of the Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) in Mumbai. This showroom will host Tesla’s official Indian debut. After the Mumbai reveal, the brand also has plans to open another flagship showroom in Delhi’s Aerocity.

Unfortunately, the exact region of the Delhi showroom is still unclear. This news also arrives after Elon Musk (Tesla CEO) met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Tesla apparently has plans to make its EVs more affordable in India. While its cheapest Tesla Model 3 starts from 40,000 US Dollars, rumors hinted at the brand working on a 25,000 US Dollar model for the Indian market. This roughly translates to about 22,00,000 INR (or 22 lakh INR).

With Tesla entering the Indian EV segment, the entire industry can expect a big impact with the brand bringing cutting edge technology like the autopilot feature. Although, it remains to be seen how the company implements most of these features. Tesla is expected to be planning local manufacturing and could be in talks with the Indian government. But the initial models would likely be imported from China.

Realme’s interchangeable-lens concept phone showcased at MWC

Realme has officially unveiled its Interchangeable-Lens Concept smartphone at MWC 2025. The device, first teased a few days ago, was showcased alongside the company’s latest AI imaging technologies.

Interchangeable-lens concept: a step towards modular optics?

Unlike Apple and Samsung, Chinese smartphone makers have been trying to pack the best possible (often largest) optical equipment in their Ultra phones. But as you may have noticed, it has also increased the protrusion of the camera module by quite a bit. While the protrusion is said to be one of the biggest reasons why Samsung has yet to upgrade to larger sensors, it couldn’t prevent Realme and Xiaomi from experimenting.

Realme’s interchangeable-lens concept phone includes an additional custom Sony 1″ sensor with no integrated lens on top. The company showcased the prototype with two different lenses – a 73mm portrait lens and a 234mm telephoto lens. For context of the zoom range, the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s 10x telephoto lens has an equivalent focal length of 230mm. But what makes this prototype stand out is the high-quality lenses.

On top of that, this interchangeable-lens mechanism lets you capture zoomed shots from a 1″ sensor, which is rate for smartphones if not nonexistent. Not to mention, it lets you capture portraits on a smartphone with DSLR-like natural blur.

Nonetheless, Xiaomi experimented with this concept with the 12S Ultra concept phone back in 2022. The company has showcased an even crazier and more practical concept where the lens mount also includes the sensor, snaps like a MagSafe accessory, draws power from the phone, and sends the recorded data to that without you requiring to connect a single wire. You can learn more about Xiaomi’s latest development here.

We hope to see these two concepts turning into consumer products as they not only include some characteristic of a dedicated camera but also combine that with the AI-powered image processing, which even dedicated cameras lack.

Samsung’s concept laptop with 18.1-inch QD-OLED display transforms into a briefcase

At MWC 2025, Samsung Display showcased its latest innovation: the “Flexible Briefcase”, a foldable laptop concept that doubles as a sleek briefcase. This unique device features an 18.1-inch QD-OLED display with a QHD+ resolution (2,000 x 2,664 pixels), which has a pixel density of 184 PPI.

While the Flexible Briefcase is still in the concept stage, it represents Samsung’s continued exploration for devices that utilize its foldable display tech.

The Flexible Briefcase stands out with its unconventional design, which integrates a briefcase-like housing complete with two handles that meet in the middle when the device is closed. The briefcase also houses integrated power and volume buttons, blending functionality with style.

Impressive display specifications for a laptop

When unfolded, the Flexible Briefcase boasts an 18.1-inch QD-OLED display. The prototype has a 4.5R folding radius, which reportedly ensures reliable operation of the foldable display. The display’s QHD+ resolution OLED with 184 PPI pixel density ensures sharp and vibrant visuals, though it’s slightly lower than the 212 PPI panel of the Galaxy Book4 Ultra.

Despite this slightly lower pixel density, the large screen size and the foldable mechanism make it stand out. This prototype indeed has the potential to become an appealing choice for creators, given it releases as a consumer product.

We have seen some other crazy concept laptops from other brands like Lenovo. One of them includes a solar panel, which can offer you 1 hour of video playback from 20 minutes of charging in direct sunlight. You can read more about this device here.

That said, these are just prototypes, and there’s no guarantee these concepts will hit the sleeves anytime soon. In fact, Samsung has been working on this foldable laptop concept for quite a while. The company patented a design back in 2022, where the laptop folds twice, and offered a glimpse of a concept (called Flex Note) that’s more similar to the Flexible Briefcase. The current prototype looks promising, and we hope it sees the light of the day as a consumer product.

Galaxy A55 users will get One UI 7 beta access soon

Samsung is reportedly expanding its One UI 7 Beta Program to include the Galaxy A55, following its initial rollout for the Galaxy S24 series. A recent leak by tipster Tarun Vats on X reveals that the beta version of Android 15-based One UI 7.0 for the Galaxy A55 has been spotted on Samsung’s server. It suggests that the model soon get access to One UI 7 beta, which is great news for its users.

Beta firmware spotted on the company’s test server

The leaked firmware, with the build number A556EXXU6ZYB6, is for the international version of the Galaxy A55, which suggests that the beta program could be available in multiple countries. Additionally, Samsung has created a dedicated page on its forum for the One UI Beta Program for the Galaxy A55, further fueling speculation about the beta’s release.

While the forum page does not explicitly mention One UI 7.0, it is highly likely that One UI 7 beta (for Galaxy A56) is based on Android 15. The Galaxy A55 launched with Android 14-based One UI 6.1.

Samsung’s rollout of Android 15-based One UI 7.0 has already been delayed by nearly two months compared to previous years. The company claims that the delay is due to major improvements being incorporated into the new software. However, this delay could have a ripple effect, potentially causing Samsung to skip One UI 7.1 and One UI 7.1.1 to ensure the timely release of Android 16-based One UI 8.0.

And for those who are using the phone as a daily driver and are not willing to install a beta software, a stable rollout for this model isn’t coming any time soon. According to a previous report, the One UI 7 beta build for the S23 lineup has also been spotted on test servers, and it won’t receive the stable update before April. So Galaxy A55 users should expect the stable rollout sometime in April, if not in May.

And for those looking for a smartphone upgrade and interested in the Galaxy A series, check out the newly launched Galaxy A56. It’s based on Android 15, and you get One UI 7 out of the box.

Apple iPhone 16e teardown by iFixit reveals easier repairs & better battery replacement

Among the various changes Apple brought to the new “budget” iPhone 16e model, there have also been upgrades in terms of its overall repairability as well. These updates to the design arrive from a teardown video shared by iFixit. So here are all the details.

Apple iPhone 16e improves on repairability

The Cupertino based giant’s products were known for their difficulties in repair. Apple had been notorious for cracking down on third party and self repairs in the past. It has made strides in this regard with its recent models, especially in the iPhones. Now, the iPhone 16e is continuing to improve with hardware design elements like an “electrically released adhesive”. This was first seen on the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus.

Apple iPhone 16e

In other words, the technology helps make battery replacement easier than before. iFixit demonstrated this by using its VoltClip at 12V, freeing the battery in just 5 seconds. This is also a lot better than the stretch release adhesives that can break off when prying the battery off. In the teardown video, iFixit also noted that they didn’t face any issues with parts pairing, meaning that Apple has loosened software restrictions as well. This is clear progress in the Right to Repair.

To recall, the iPhone 16e also debuted the brand’s C1 model which was also revealed in this teardown video. Apart from this, iFixit gave the device a repairability score of 7 out of 10. They stated that the repairability matches the other iPhone 16 series models as well. Although, iFixit said it’s hard to justify it as an upgrade owing to its price hike and suggests buying refurbished.

Samsung showcases foldable handheld gaming consoles at MWC 2025

At MWC 2025, Samsung unveiled its latest innovation: the Flex Gaming concept. This is a handheld gaming console with a 7.2-inch foldable OLED display, and it aims to revolutionize the gaming industry as a compact handheld that’s easy to travel with.

A new era for handheld gaming could be on the horizon

Currently, handheld gaming consoles like the Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch come with a bulky design, which makes them quite difficult to carry. Samsung’s Flex Gaming concept addresses this issue by incorporating a hinge and a foldable display, which allows it to fold like a Galaxy Z Flip smartphone.

The Flex Gaming console features joysticks and D-pads on both sides of the display, with a unique cavity design to accommodate the joysticks when folded. It also includes a home button, a button marked with an ‘N’, and a USB Type-C port at the bottom. The lime-like green-yellow color (of the current prototype) adds a vibrant, futuristic touch to the device.

Image: Samsung

While Samsung has not revealed detailed specifications such as resolution, refresh rate, or brightness, the foldable display is expected to be similar to the ones used in Samsung’s foldable smartphones. This, if true, will allow gamers to enjoy an immersive visual experience.

This year’s Flex Gaming concept is a significant upgrade from the model showcased at CES 2023, which featured a flip-open display rather than a foldable one. The new design is more practical and aligns with the growing demand for compact, portable gaming devices.

It’s interesting to see Samsung investing some time and effort in exploring areas slightly out of its business while solving real-world problems.

Nothing Phone (3a) and (3a) Pro official with Snapdragon 7s Gen 3, Essential Space

After nearly a month of teasers and speculation, Nothing has officially unveiled the Phone (3a) series. The new line consists of the Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Pro—two mid-range devices that share a lot in common, including the chipset, battery, and display.  But when it comes to design and cameras, the differences start to show. Here’s everything you need to know, including pricing and availability.

Nothing Phone (3a) / (3a) Pro Specs and Features

Both the Phone (3a) and (3a) Pro feature a 6.77-inch OLED display with a Full HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The touch sampling rate hits 480Hz during everyday use but jumps to 1000Hz in Gaming Mode for near-instant response times.

Brightness also gets a boost — full-screen brightness now reaches 1,300 nits (compared to 1,100 nits on the Phone (2a)), while peak brightness has jumped from 1,300 nits to 3,000 nits.

Nothing Phone (3a) Pro

Under the hood, both devices pack the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor, delivering a 33% boost in CPU performance and an 11% improvement in graphics over the Phone (2a), according to Nothing. To manage thermals, the phones come equipped with a 4500mm² vapor chamber, which the company claims reduces temperatures by 23%.

On the software side, Nothing OS 3.1, based on Android 15, keeps things clean and minimal. The update also brings improvements to the Gallery, Camera, and Weather apps.

What’s impressive is that Nothing is promising six years of Android updates and security patches for Phone (3a) series —double the commitment for the Phone (2a) and (2a) Plus.

The devices also bring a new feature called Essential Space. It can be triggered via a customizable button located under the power key. 

By default, users can tap it once to quickly capture and send content to Essential Space, long-press to record a voice note, and double-tap to open the library of saved content.

The feature will be available as an early-access preview for Phone (3a) users, where they will also get a preview of upcoming features, including Camera Capture, Smart Collections, Focused Search, and Flip to Record.

A 5000mAh battery powers both models, supporting 50W wired charging.

Key Differences: Phone (3a) vs. Phone (3a) Pro

While both models share a lot under the hood, design and cameras set them apart.

The Phone (3a) borrows its look from the Phone (2a), while the (3a) Pro debuts a fresh design language. The Pro model features a circular camera module with asymmetrically arranged lenses, while both models retain the transparent back and Glyph lighting.  The frames are also completely flat.

Cameras mark another key difference. The (3a) Pro packs a 50MP main sensor with OIS, a 50MP periscope lens with 3x optical zoom, which can extend to 6x using TrueLens 3.0 and AI for enhanced image quality. Completing the setup is an 8MP ultrawide camera, while the front houses a 50MP selfie lens.

The Phone (3a) retains the same main and ultrawide cameras as the Pro but swaps the periscope for a 50MP 2x zoom lens. The selfie camera also gets a downgrade to 32MP.

Pricing and Availability

The Nothing Phone (3a) starts at ₹22,999, while the Phone (3a) Pro begins at ₹27,999 in India. Here’s the full pricing breakdown:

Nothing Phone (3a)

  • 8GB + 128GB – ₹22,999 (with bank offers)
  • 8GB + 256GB – ₹24,999 (with bank offers)
  • Color Option –  Black, White, Blue

Rumored Galaxy S26 Ultra upgrades may disappoint you

Rumors about the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra suggest that the upcoming flagship may only offer subtle upgrades over its predecessor, the Galaxy S25 Ultra. While Samsung fans were hoping for groundbreaking changes, early reports indicate that the S26 Ultra’s improvements might be limited to minor tweaks in design, display, and charging capabilities.

Leaked specifications of Galaxy S26 Ultra

The Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to feature slimmer bezels, offering a more expansive screen-to-body ratio compared to the S25 Ultra. However, according to tipster PandaFlash X, the highly anticipated under-display camera (UDC) technology will remain exclusive to the Galaxy Z Fold lineup. The S26 Ultra will retain the existing punch-hole camera design, with the same 12MP selfie camera and Infinity-O display as the current flagship.

One of the most requested upgrades—faster charging speeds—may not materialize with the S26 Ultra either. Samsung is expected to stick with 45W charging, something Samsung has been using for years. So, at best, the brand will switch to a different charging protocol so that your existing accessory becomes incompatible, and you get to experience the feel of a new adapter.

In fact, the tipster mentioned that it “might be 45w or between 50w”. So, for those with the existing adapter and a plan to upgrade next year, you may feel the need to buy another adapter with extra packaging and added harm to this planet. Not to mention, this decision could (or should) disappoint many users waiting for the Galaxy S26 lineup.

The S26 Ultra will get a chip upgrade, though. It’s rumored to feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset, with some regions potentially receiving the Exynos 2600. While this promises improved processing power, it remains to be seen how significant the performance gains will be over the S25 Ultra.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra set a high bar, selling 1 million units in just 21 days in South Korea, thanks to the new Galaxy AI Subscription Club. But it remains to be seen if the successors will achieve the same success.

Waiting for the Galaxy S26 Ultra was previously considered to be a good idea for those who aren’t in urgent need of an upgrade, as this year’s flagships offer only a few minor upgrades. But, if the rumors are true, Samsung’s approach to the S26 lineup isn’t any different.

Vivo S21 Pro could be compact X200 Pro Mini with affordable pricing; Display, chipset details tipped

Vivo surprised smartphone enthusiasts by announcing the Vivo X200 Pro Mini, a powerful flagship phone with a compact design, back in October 2024 in China. The device is available with a starting price of 4,699 Yuan (~$645). A new leak that surfaced on Weibo suggests that the upcoming Vivo S21 Pro could be an affordable alternative to the X200 Pro Mini, as it is also expected to sport a similar compact form factor.

Vivo S21 series key specifications leaked

Alleged Vivo S21 series leak

To recall, the company unveiled the Vivo S20, equipped with the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip, and the S20 Pro, featuring the Dimensity 9300+ SoC, in December 2024 in China. It is unclear whether the successor lineup will be called the Vivo S21 or S30 series. As per a new leak, the upcoming S-series Vivo phones will have two models, which could be called the S21 and S21 Pro.

It appears that the Vivo S21 will continue to feature a 6.67-inch OLED panel with a 1.5K resolution and Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chip, similar to its predecessor.

The higher-end model will be equipped with the Dimensity 9300+ chipset. Surprisingly, instead of featuring the same-sized or a larger display, it is tipped to house a 6.31-inch OLED panel with a 1.5K resolution. Therefore, it wouldn’t be surprising if the company dubs it the Vivo S21 Pro Mini instead of the S21 Pro. Like the S20 Pro, its successor may arrive with a sub-3,500 Yuan (~$480) price tag.

The Vivo S21 series is expected to compete with the Honor 400 series and the Oppo Reno 14 series in China. These devices are expected to debut in May.
