Stable Android 17 rolling out to Google Pixels: Check eligible devices, new features, and more

-

Jun 17, 2026

Qualcomm has unveiled its latest flagship XR platform, the Snapdragon Reality Elite, aimed at bringing powerful on-device generative AI to wearable devices like smart glasses and standalone headsets. The goal is to deliver more immersive experiences while keeping the devices lighter, cooler, and more comfortable to wear for longer periods.

Compared to the previous Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2, this new chipset brings some meaningful upgrades: around 60% better GPU performance, 30% stronger CPU, up to 20% longer battery life, and it runs as much as 12°C cooler under load. Those efficiency gains, if translated into real life, will be huge for all-day wearability.

One of the biggest highlights is the massive leap in AI power. The upgraded Hexagon NPU now delivers 48 TOPS, a 160% improvement. This means it can handle heavier large language models (LLMs) and large vision models directly on the device, enabling real-time contextual awareness, smart AI agents, photorealistic avatars, and advanced computer vision with much lower latency.

On the visual side, it supports high-resolution displays up to 4.4K per eye at 90Hz, with hardware ray tracing and much better video see-through (VST) quality for smoothly blending digital content with the real world. It’s built to power both all-in-one headsets and lighter tethered/split-compute designs within the growing Android XR ecosystem.

The first devices using this platform are expected later in 2026. XREAL’s Project Aura glasses (which use a dual-chip setup with a compute puck) will be among the early adopters, and Play for Dream is also working on an immersive device based on it.

To help speed things up for other brands, Qualcomm launched the Snapdragon START program, a toolkit with reference designs and full support to help companies bring AI-powered smart glasses and personal AI wearables to market faster.

Overall, this launch shows Qualcomm is serious about making XR a core part of personal AI computing. By solving the biggest pain points, including power consumption, heat, and intelligence, the Reality Elite could help push spatial computing into the mainstream. We’ll start seeing the real-world impact once the first devices launch later this year.

Jun 17, 2026

NVIDIA’s RTX Spark platform is the biggest PC story of 2026 so far, and we’ve been following it closely. We first told you about the chip’s big reveal at Computex, and later covered leaked pricing suggesting these laptops won’t come cheap.

NVIDIA named Lenovo, among others, the first brand to launch an RTX Spark PC. Now, the first real look at an actual RTX Spark laptop from Lenovo, called the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9n, has surfaced online.

Here’s your first look at the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9n with RTX Spark

Design-wise, the Yoga Pro 9n borrows heavily from the Intel-powered Yoga Pro 9i, though it gets a slightly smaller 15-inch OLED screen instead of the 9i’s 16-inch panel.

The chassis is made of aluminum and finished in a shade Lenovo calls Thunder Gray. The lid has a raised section in the middle to house a Windows Hello IR camera for face login.

Since the RTX Spark chip runs hot, Lenovo has built in a wide air intake on the bottom and a large exhaust vent at the back to keep things cool.

On the audio side, the laptop packs six speakers (four woofers and two tweeters), with support for Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision, plus Lenovo’s PureSight Pro display certification. A fun extra is a magnetic pen slot on the lid that holds the Yoga Pen Gen 2, which is apparently meant for sketching directly on the touchpad.

As for I/O, the left edge holds HDMI, a USB-A port, a 10Gbps USB-C port, and a headphone jack, while the right side adds a full-size SD card slot, another 10Gbps USB-C port, another USB-A port, a charging light, and a physical camera kill-switch.

Powering the machine is said to be RTX Spark N1X chip, the top-of-the-line, featuring a 20-core Grace CPU (10 Cortex-X925 performance cores plus 10 Cortex-A725 efficiency cores) with a Blackwell GPU carrying 6,144 CUDA cores and fifth-generation Tensor cores. It supports up to 128GB of unified memory and claims 1 petaflop of AI performance at FP4 precision.

With renders now out in the open, an official launch can’t be too far behind.

Jun 17, 2026

Sony has unveiled the LYTIA L910, a new camera sensor designed for smartphones that focuses on improving image quality in challenging lighting conditions. The sensor introduces several imaging technologies aimed at delivering more realistic photos and videos while keeping power consumption under control. It is also the first model in Sony’s LYTIA family to incorporate the company’s LOFIC architecture.

Designed for better HDR photography and low-light imaging

The LYTIA L910 is a 1/1.28-inch stacked CMOS sensor with approximately 50 effective megapixels and a 1.22μm pixel size. The key highlight is its ability to achieve a dynamic range of up to 100 dB from a single exposure. Unlike conventional HDR methods that combine multiple exposures, Sony’s approach captures the required image data in one shot, helping reduce motion blur and flickering when photographing moving subjects or bright light sources.

To achieve this, Sony has paired the LOFIC structure with Triple Conversion Gain HDR technology. The sensor reads information from a single exposure at three different conversion gains, enabling improved preservation of details in both bright and dark areas of a scene. The company says this helps minimise highlight clipping while also reducing noise in shadow regions, resulting in more balanced images with smoother tonal transitions.

Image quality comparison of a conventional sensor (DCG-HDR) and LYTIA L910 (TCG-HDR with LOFIC)

Sony has also introduced Ultra High Conversion Gain circuit technology, which improves charge-to-voltage conversion efficiency. According to the company, random noise is reduced by around 30 per cent compared to the LYTIA 828 sensor, helping improve image quality in low-light environments such as night-time cityscapes illuminated by LED lights.

The sensor is further supported by an optimised circuit design that reduces power requirements during image processing. This enables 4K HDR video recording at 60fps while maintaining high dynamic range performance. The LYTIA L910 can capture full-resolution 50-megapixel images at up to 30fps and 12.5-megapixel images at up to 120fps.

Sony plans to begin mass-production shipments of the sensor in summer 2026. Likely, the Vivo X500 series and the Oppo Find X10 lineup will be the first to feature the Sony LYT-L910.

Huawei Pura X Max surpasses sales figures of all previous Huawei foldables

By

-

Jun 17, 2026

Early sales of Huawei‘s first “wide-format” horizontal foldable have been impressive, suggesting that more people are warming up to foldables when they’re actually designed with real-world use in mind.

In a recent video, Yu Chengdong (Huawei’s Executive Director and Chairman of the Terminal BG) explained some of the thoughtful decisions behind the phone. One of the standout features is its √2:1 screen ratio when unfolded, inspired by the proportions of an A4 sheet of paper. This ratio was chosen so content looks natural and scales smoothly whether the phone is open or closed, solving a common frustration with earlier foldables.

Huawei’s team discovered that most people still use foldables mostly in their folded, compact form. So they focused heavily on making the big inner screen as enjoyable as possible, adjusting bezels, optimizing common content ratios, and considering things like typical viewing distance (around 30cm) and comfortable eye movement. The goal was to create a device that feels like a proper mini-tablet when opened, without awkward distortions.

The results so far have been excellent. According to analyst @RDObservation, the Pura X Max series sold around 343,700 units in its first month (as of late May 2026). That’s higher than any previous Huawei foldable in the same period. Interestingly, the more expensive Collector’s Edition accounted for a big chunk — about 198,500 units — showing strong demand even at premium prices. Counterpoint Research data also confirms it’s outperforming the Mate X7 and earlier Pura X models in the early weeks.

This early success shows that consumers are responding well to Huawei’s focus on practical design and HarmonyOS optimizations. The Pura X Max feels like a good bridge between a smartphone and a tablet, without being too bulky.

It’ll be interesting to see if this momentum continues.

Dreame launches L50s Pro Ultra and L50 Ultra CE robot vacuums in India with up to 30,000Pa suction

By

-

Jun 16, 2026

Dreame has released two new robot vacuums in India: the L50s Pro Ultra and the L50 Ultra CE. Both models are built around large, automated base stations designed to handle routine maintenance tasks like emptying the dustbin and washing the mop pads, reducing how often users need to manually clean the hardware.

Dreame L50s Pro Ultra Specifications

The L50s Pro Ultra is the higher-end model, priced at Rs. 79,999 ($846). Its main hardware specification is a suction rating of 30,000Pa. For mopping, the base station uses water heated to 100°C to wash the mop pads after a cleaning cycle, which is intended to break down grease and reduce odors, followed by a hot air drying process.

To reach edges and corners, the vacuum uses an extendable side brush and a swinging mop pad. It also includes an obstacle-crossing system that allows the unit to climb over thresholds or floor dividers up to 40mm high. Navigation relies on an AI-assisted mapping system that is programmed to identify and avoid over 220 types of standard household objects.

Dreame L50 Ultra CE Specifications

The L50 Ultra CE is the standard model, priced at Rs. 64,999 ($688). It shares the same basic design and automated dock concept but scales back a few specifications to hit the lower price point. Suction is rated at 25,000Pa, and the base station washes the mop pads with 80°C water instead of 100°C.

It still retains the extendable side brush and mop system for edge cleaning. The dock also features a self-cleaning washboard system with 20 spray nozzles to prevent dirt buildup inside the station itself.

Both vacuums include automatic carpet detection. When they sense a rug, they lift their mop pads 10.5 mm up to 10.5mm to avoid getting the fabric wet, while simultaneously increasing suction power to pull dirt from the fibers.

On the software side, both models can be controlled via the Dreame companion app and support voice commands through Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri. The L50s Pro Ultra also includes Matter protocol support, allowing it to integrate more easily with various smart home hubs and ecosystems.

Availability

Both the L50s Pro Ultra and the L50 Ultra CE are available starting today, June 16, through Amazon India, Croma, and Dreame’s direct retail channels.

In related news, Dreame has recently unveiled the Pocket P10 Cake, a foldable hair dryer that stands out with its built-in oil dispenser, combining hair drying and hair care in a single compact device.

Logitech launches new G305 X Superlight gaming mouse with 44,000 DPI and 8,000Hz polling support

By

-

Jun 16, 2026

Logitech is updating one of its most popular entry-level wireless gaming mice. The company has announced the G305 X Superlight, a revamped version of the classic G305 that significantly cuts down on weight and introduces modern internal hardware, all while maintaining an accessible $79.99 price point.

Logitech G G305 X Superlight Specifications

The original G305 was heavy compared to most current gaming mice, largely because it required a disposable AA battery. The G305 X Superlight switches to a built-in rechargeable battery, which helps bring the total weight down to 59 grams. Logitech is also using exposed screws on the exterior of the mouse chassis. The company says this design choice is intended to make the mouse easier to open and repair, which should help extend its usable lifespan.

Inside, Logitech has swapped in a newer HERO sensor. It supports up to 44,000 DPI, handles acceleration over 40G, and tracks at 678 inches per second. The standard polling rate is 1,000Hz using the included USB-A receiver. If you prefer a higher polling rate for lower input latency, the mouse is compatible with Logitech’s PRO Wireless Receiver, which is sold separately and pushes the rate up to 8,000Hz.

For connectivity, the mouse supports three modes: Logitech’s proprietary 2.4GHz Lightspeed wireless, standard Bluetooth, and a wired connection via USB-C. Logitech estimates the battery will last for about 130 hours of continuous use on a full charge. It also supports fast charging, where plugging it in for two minutes provides around three and a half hours of battery life.

The rest of the feature set is standard for this price bracket. It has six programmable buttons, a standard scroll wheel, and onboard memory that can store up to five user profiles. You can adjust the DPI, button mapping, and the Lightsync RGB lighting using the Logitech G Hub desktop software.

The mouse incorporates post-consumer recycled plastic in its construction, 65% for the black model and 51% for the white model. The G305 X Superlight will be available for purchase on June 30, 2026.

In related news, Logitech has recently unveiled its first foldable portable mouse, featuring a unique design that folds in half for easier carrying and slips comfortably into a pocket when not in use.

When snapped together, it works as a single 10,000mAh power bank with up to 35W total output, letting you charge up to three devices at the same time. Pull it apart (thanks to strong magnets and pogo pins), and you get two independent 5,000mAh chargers, each capable of delivering up to 20W.

The two halves are thoughtfully designed: One side has a built-in braided USB-C cable, an extra USB-C port, and four LED lights for battery status. The other side features a USB-C port plus a clever foldable USB-C connector that plugs directly into your phone, along with a clear digital percentage display so you always know how much juice is left.

It’s compact, comes with a braided carry handle (which also doubles as the integrated cable), and feels well-made. You can grab it now on Nimble’s website for $79.95 in classic White or two limited-edition colors — Liquid Crystal Blue and Liquid Crystal Pink — with a cool ripple texture that looks pretty premium.

Nimble is calling the Sharepower the world’s first truly sharable battery. Whether you’re traveling, heading out with friends, or just managing multiple devices, this modular design is genuinely clever. Each half can charge a single device nicely, and together they give you more power when you need it.

If you’re tired of regular power banks and want something more versatile, the Sharepower looks like a really interesting option. It’s available now directly from Nimble and should start appearing at other retailers soon.

Casio launches new translucent G-Shock that blends 90s streetwear style with rugged durability

By

-

Jun 16, 2026

Casio has announced a new addition to its G-Shock lineup, partnering with the Seoul-based clothing brand thisisneverthat for a custom version of the standard DW-5600. The new model, officially named the DW-5600TNT-7, is scheduled to launch in July 2026. It takes the familiar DW-5600 square shape and updates it with clear materials and a few specific design adjustments.

Design Details

Casio used a translucent, clear resin for both the outer bezel and the watch band. The watch face features an inverted LCD, meaning the background is black and the numbers are light, which provides a high-contrast look against the clear resin.

The thisisneverthat logo appears in multiple locations, including the upper section of the dial above the display, the translucent strap keeper, and the stainless-steel case back.

The words PROTECTION and G-SHOCK, which are typically just molded or painted onto the top and bottom of the bezel, are coated in a phosphorescent finish on this model. This means the text itself glows in the dark, separate from the watch’s internal screen lighting.

Internally, the watch relies on the standard technology you would expect from the DW-5600 series. It measures 48.9 by 42.8 by 13.4 millimeters and weighs 52 grams. The screen is covered by mineral glass. It includes Casio’s standard shock resistance and is water-resistant up to 200 meters.

The daily feature set is straightforward. It includes a 1/100-second stopwatch, a 24-hour countdown timer, and a multi-function alarm. There is also a flash alert setting that blinks the white LED backlight when an alarm or timer goes off. For power, the watch uses a standard CR2016 coin-cell battery.

Casio estimates the battery life at about five years, meaning you will eventually need to open the case to swap it out, as this model does not include the company’s solar charging technology.

Pricing and Availability

The DW-5600TNT-7 is currently listed on Casio’s international site and will retail for ¥18,700 ($116) in Japan when it releases this July. It will ship in a custom box designed specifically for the collaboration.

In related news, Casio recently brought the retro-inspired AQ230A-7DMQY to the US with a stainless steel bracelet, while also launching the premium MTG-B4000B-1A G-Shock featuring a carbon fiber and stainless steel construction.

1. Design and Display

Build and Feel

The Motorola Edge 70 Pro+ focuses on practicality with its eco-leather rear panel, Gorilla Glass 7i protection, IP68/IP69 certification, and MIL-STD-810H compliance. The textured finish offers a secure grip and tends to resist fingerprints better than glossy glass backs. The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE takes a more premium approach with Gorilla Glass Victus+ on both the front and rear, paired with an enhanced aluminum frame. It feels more flagship-like and carries a cleaner, more refined appearance. Samsung’s use of premium materials may appeal to buyers who prioritize a traditional high-end design.

Display Quality

Motorola gains a clear advantage in display specifications with its 144Hz AMOLED panel, higher resolution, and an impressive peak brightness rating. The screen feels exceptionally smooth and vibrant, particularly during gaming and fast scrolling. Samsung counters with a Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X panel that can intelligently adjust refresh rates for efficiency while delivering excellent color accuracy and HDR performance. The lower resolution is noticeable on paper but less so in daily use.

Verdict

The Galaxy S25 FE feels more premium, but the Edge 70 Pro+ delivers a more impressive display experience overall.

2. Specifications Including Battery

Performance

The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE is powered by the Exynos 2400, a flagship-grade chipset that offers stronger raw performance, better graphics capability, and enhanced AI processing. It is better suited for demanding multitasking, high-end gaming, and long-term performance consistency. The Motorola Edge 70 Pro+ uses the Dimensity 8500 Extreme, which remains highly capable and efficient for everyday use while providing smooth performance across apps and games. Motorola also includes 12GB RAM as standard, giving it an advantage in memory-intensive workloads.

Battery and Charging

Battery life is one of Motorola’s strongest advantages. Its large 6500mAh silicon-carbon battery comfortably exceeds the Galaxy S25 FE’s 4900mAh capacity, making it a better choice for heavy users. Charging is also significantly faster with 90W wired support, while Samsung relies on 45W charging. Both devices support wireless charging, though Samsung benefits from Qi2 compatibility and a more mature wireless ecosystem.

Verdict

Samsung wins on processing power and software longevity, while Motorola offers superior battery endurance and charging convenience.

3. Camera

Main and Secondary Lenses

Both smartphones feature capable 50MP primary cameras with optical image stabilization, delivering strong results in daylight and challenging lighting conditions. Samsung’s image processing generally produces more consistent colors, dynamic range, and video quality, while Motorola often delivers a slightly more natural look. The biggest hardware advantage belongs to Motorola, which includes a 50MP periscope telephoto camera and a 50MP ultrawide sensor. Samsung uses an 8MP telephoto and a 12MP ultrawide camera, making the overall camera hardware less impressive on paper. Motorola’s higher-resolution secondary sensors provide greater flexibility and detail retention.

Selfie Camera

Motorola again leads in specifications with a 50MP autofocus front camera capable of capturing sharper images and better group selfies. Samsung’s 12MP sensor produces reliable results and excellent video quality but lacks the same level of detail.

Verdict

Samsung delivers dependable image processing and video performance, but Motorola offers a more versatile and powerful overall camera setup.

4. Pricing

The Motorola Edge 70 Pro+ is priced around $600/ ₹48,000, while the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE is priced around $700 / ₹50,000. The difference is relatively small, making the comparison more about priorities than budget. Motorola provides a stronger hardware package with a higher-end display, larger battery, faster charging, more RAM, and superior secondary cameras. Samsung, however, justifies its pricing through its flagship-grade chipset, premium construction, One UI experience, and extended software support.

Is the Price Justified?

At its price, the Edge 70 Pro+ delivers exceptional value because it offers upgrades in several areas that directly impact daily use. The S25 FE is also reasonably priced, particularly for users who value software reliability and long-term updates. The extra investment feels worthwhile for buyers planning to keep their device for many years.

Verdict

Motorola offers better hardware value, while Samsung’s pricing is supported by software longevity and ecosystem advantages.

Disclaimer:
Prices are approximate and may vary based on country, region, launch timing, and applicable taxes. Always check whether the listed price is for a China unit or a global/international variant when purchasing.

5. Conclusion

The Motorola Edge 70 Pro+ stands out with its 144Hz display, 6500mAh silicon-carbon battery, 90W charging, 50MP periscope telephoto camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 50MP autofocus selfie camera. These features create a specification sheet that is unusually strong for its price category. The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE counters with a flagship-class Exynos 2400 processor, premium glass-and-aluminum construction, Samsung DeX support, Qi2-compatible wireless charging, and an industry-leading commitment of seven major Android upgrades. Samsung’s ecosystem integration is also a major attraction for users who already own other Galaxy products.

Verdict

For buyers seeking the best hardware package and maximum value, the Motorola Edge 70 Pro+ is the stronger overall choice. For those prioritizing software support, ecosystem features, and flagship-grade processing power, the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE remains an excellent alternative.

Overall, the Edge 70 Pro+ delivers more for the money, while the S25 FE focuses on long-term ownership and refinement.

Xiaomi 18 Pro and Xiaomi 18 will launch separately, per this leak

By

Jun 16, 2026

Xiaomi 18 recently surfaced in the GSMA product database, confirming its existence. Based on how Xiaomi rolls out its flagships, the new Xiaomi 18 series should reach buyers as early as September this year.

However, tipster Digital Chat Station in a fresh reveal says Xiaomi is switching up its usual release order this time around. Instead of launching the standard and Pro models together, Xiaomi will reportedly bring out the higher-spec Xiaomi 18 Pro series first in September, with the standard Xiaomi 18 following shortly after.

The gap between the two launches will not be large, and both phones are said to be available for purchase before the Chinese Spring Festival, which falls in February.

Now, if that sounds familiar, that’s because it is. Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 18 Pro in September, while the vanilla iPhone 18 is rumored to follow later in 2027. Xiaomi seems to be employing the same approach.

And…it might not be the only thing Xiaomi will copy from Apple—rumors suggest the company also plans to use the signature red color expected for the iPhone 18 series.

A price hike is the bigger issue

A bigger concern is that the Xiaomi 18 series is said to cost noticeably more than its predecessors. And this isn’t a Xiaomi-only move. Rising costs across the upstream supply chain are pushing prices up for nearly every major Android brand, not just Xiaomi.

Xiaomi founder Lei Jun has already weighed in on the memory issue. He said the current jump in memory prices is severe, and that supply prices are likely to keep climbing over the next two years. His advice to anyone planning to upgrade their phone soon is simple: buy sooner rather than later.

On the hardware side, the Xiaomi 18 series will be among the first phones to use Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 platform.

When considering overall value, Motorola feels aggressively positioned and delivers more features per rupee spent. Xiaomi targets buyers who specifically value camera tuning, multimedia enhancements, and flagship-style refinement.

Verdict

Motorola offers stronger value for money and covers the needs of most users at a lower price. Xiaomi is better suited for buyers willing to pay extra for its camera-focused and premium-oriented experience.

Disclaimer:
Prices are approximate and may vary based on country, region, launch timing, and applicable taxes. Always check whether the listed price is for a China unit or a global/international variant when purchasing.

Redmi Turbo 5 launches in India, but Chinese buyers are still getting the better deal

Jun 16, 2026

Redmi has finally brought the Turbo 5 to India, nearly five months after the phone first went official in China back in January. It’s the first time a Turbo series has launched in India, but Chinese buyers are still getting a better deal.

The Redmi Turbo 5 is priced in India at Rs 35,999 for the 8GB+256GB variant, while the 12GB+256GB model costs Rs 38,999.

In comparison, the Turbo 5 is currently available in China for 2,299 yuan for the 12GB+256GB unit. And that’s after a price increase in April,

Run the math at today’s exchange rate, the 2,299 yuan converts to about Rs 32,200, nearly Rs 6,800 cheaper than the Rs 38,999 Redmi is charging Indian buyers for the identical 12GB+256GB configuration.

Even India’s entry-level 8GB variant at Rs 35,999 costs more than China’s higher-RAM base model once converted.

However, the premium isn’t unusual for Chinese-origin phones sold in India, where import duties, GST, and logistics typically push prices upward, but it does mean Indian buyers are paying a real markup for the same silicon and battery their Chinese counterparts get noticeably cheaper.

Redmi, however, is offering up to Rs 2,000 in instant discounts on select SBI, ICICI, and Axis Bank cards, and sales begin June 19 via Amazon.in, mi.com, and offline retail. You can pick from Turbo White, Nitro Blue, and Asphalt Black colourways.

Redmi Turbo 5 Specifications

As for specs, the phone runs on MediaTek’s Dimensity 8500 Ultra paired with LPDDR5X Ultra RAM and UFS 4.1 storage, backed by a 5,300mm² vapour chamber to keep the chip cool during long sessions.

Redmi claims an AnTuTu score north of 2 million, which it says edges out rivals like the OnePlus Nord CE6 and the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro. The 6.59-inch 1.5K AMOLED panel runs at 120Hz, and the standout feature remains the 7,540mAh battery with 100W HyperCharge, wrapped in an IP66/IP68/IP69/IP69K-rated build.

The back is home to a 50MP Sony IMX882 OIS main camera and an 8MP ultra-wide sensor, while it also has a customisable LED pixel-matrix ring around the camera module. It ships on HyperOS 3 over Android 16.
