Xiaomi has added another product to its Mijia lineup, this time in the personal care category. The new Hair Clipper 2 Set builds on the regular version, but adds a couple of extras that make it a bit more versatile.
At its core, it’s still a standard hair clipper, but the set version includes precision trimming and engraving attachments, which is where things get more interesting. The precision trimmer is meant for smaller areas, around the hairline, ears, or sideburns, basically the kind of detailing you don’t always get right with a regular clipper.
Then there’s the engraving blade, which feels a bit more niche. It’s designed for sharper lines or patterns, so more for styling than basic trimming. Probably not something everyone will use, but it adds an extra layer for those who like experimenting.
Both attachments use a titanium carbide coating, and Xiaomi says the main blade is built to reduce friction and heat during use. That should help with comfort, especially if you’re using it for longer sessions.
In terms of adjustments, the clipper offers 19 length settings along with two speed modes, so there’s a decent amount of flexibility. It’s also IPX7 rated, meaning you can rinse it under water without worrying too much.
There’s a small display on the body as well, which shows battery status and other basic info. Not essential, but useful.
The box includes quite a few accessories, adjustable combs, cleaning tools, even a cape, so it’s clearly meant to be a complete kit rather than just the device.
The Mijia Hair Clipper 2 Set is priced at 189 yuan and is already available through Xiaomi’s Youpin platform in China.
Overall, it feels like Xiaomi is trying to push this a bit beyond just a basic grooming tool. It’s still simple at its core, but with enough extras to make it more flexible for people who want to do a bit more than a quick trim.
The Edge 70 Pro by Motorola is set to be announced in India soon. Ahead of the big reveal, the device has appeared on Geekbench, revealing its chipset and performance metrics.
According to details shared by tipster Abhishek Yadav, the phone appears on benchmark tests with 12GB of RAM and Android 16 out of the box. The listing also reveals an octa-core chipset, believed to be part of MediaTek’s Dimensity 8000 series—likely the Dimensity 8500.
The chip uses a mix of cores, including four efficiency cores clocked at 2.2GHz, three performance cores at 3.2GHz, and a prime core reaching up to 3.4GHz. Graphics duties are handled by a Mali-G720 MC8 GPU.
In terms of raw numbers, the device scores 1,727 in single-core and 6,563 in multi-core tests.
What to expect?
The benchmark leak comes shortly after a teaser microsite quietly went live on Flipkart. While the page doesn’t explicitly name the device, the design and finishes shown match previously leaked renders of the Edge 70 Pro. It is expected to come in three finishes: a fabric-like blue, a satin-style green, and a marble-inspired white.
Design-wise, the phone is expected to stick with familiar Motorola aesthetics, a curved display with a centered hole-punch camera, and a square-shaped module on the back housing a triple camera system. There is also mention of HDR10+ certification.
Moreover, certification listings suggest a 6,500 mAh battery with support for 90 W fast charging via USB-C. Other specifications have not been confirmed yet.
None of this is official just yet, but the pieces are starting to line up. Between the benchmark listing, leaked visuals, and the Flipkart teaser, it looks like Motorola is getting ready to formally introduce the Edge 70 Pro soon.

The device is expected to launch later this month in China, with more details gradually emerging. It is expected to rival the Redmi K90 Max, which is set to debut on April 21 in the country.
OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra design and gaming focus
The OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra‘s black colour has been unveiled, featuring a layered texture created using a 3D light engraving process.

Sony has added a new headset to its INZONE gaming lineup with the launch of the INZONE H6 Wired Air. It is positioned as a lightweight, open-back option for players who rely on sound accuracy during gameplay.
The biggest change here is the open-back design. Unlike closed gaming headsets, the earcups are not sealed, which reduces internal echo and makes the sound feel more natural. In practice, this creates a wider soundstage, making it easier to pick up direction and distance of in-game audio.
Sony is using custom-tuned drivers based on its MDR-MV1 studio headphones. These have been adjusted for gaming use. The headset also includes back ducts built into the driver unit to manage airflow. This helps deliver deeper bass without muddying mid-range sounds, so footsteps, dialogue, and background details remain clear.
The audio profile has been tuned with input from sound teams at PlayStation Studios. There is a dedicated RPG and Adventure equalizer setting that boosts environmental detail and depth. When used with the USB-C Audio Box and INZONE Hub software, the headset supports virtual 7.1 channel surround sound along with 360 Spatial Sound for Gaming.
Comfort is another focus. The headset weighs about 199 grams without the detachable mic and cable, making it one of Sony’s lightest gaming headsets. It uses a spring hinge headband design, similar to the INZONE H9 II, to keep the fit stable without adding pressure.
For voice chat, the INZONE H6 Air includes a cardioid boom microphone. It is angled toward the mouth to focus on voice pickup while cutting out side noise. The arm is flexible and stays in place once adjusted. Sony worked with Fnatic during development as part of its broader push into competitive gaming gear.
The INZONE H6 Air is priced at $199.99 in the US and $249.99 in Canada, and is available through Sony’s website, Amazon, and Best Buy.

The Vivo X300 (review) is a highly rated flagship smartphone that promises excellent performance and top-tier camera capabilities. It quickly became one of the most demanding flagship smartphones after its release in December 2025. However, it’s not the only showstopper in the price segment the device falls in. There exist some great alternatives that give the Vivo X300 a serious run for its money.
The Oppo Find X9 (review) is the closest competitor to the Vivo X300, offering a similar flagship experience but scaling up in important aspects. It offers a 6.59-inch AMOLED screen, which is larger than Vivo X300’s for media consumption but not unwieldy as “Ultra” phones.
Both smartphones feature competitive camera performance, but the Hasselblad colour tuning on the Find X9 should yield more natural skin tones. Plus, the Oppo phone offers a 16% higher battery capacity and faster wireless charging.
The Galaxy S26 doesn’t outshine the Vivo X300 on the spec sheet, but it’s a reliable choice for people looking for a compact flagship phone with longer software support. Also, it’s the only non-Chinese alternative on this list.
While the screen sizes are almost identical, the Galaxy S26 features tougher Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection on both sides. The Galaxy device also offers a tougher Armour aluminium 2 frame than the standard aluminium frame on the Vivo X300.
The Galaxy S26 ships with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 in the US, Canada, China, and Japan, which offers better performance than the Dimensity 9500 inside the Vivo X300. But the rest of the world gets the Exynos 2600, which is slightly weaker compared to the Dimensity 9500.
Samsung phones win big when it comes to software support, and the Galaxy S26 is no different. It promises Android updates up to seven generations, while the Vivo X300 only promises four major Android updates.
The OnePlus 15 is a solid choice here, with several key upgrades, including a more powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset and a larger 6.78-inch screen with tougher Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection.
OnePlus 15 also outperforms the Vivo X300 in battery capacity and charging speeds. The former has a 7,300mAh battery with 120W wired charging support, while the latter has a smaller 6,040mAh battery with 90W wired charging support. The OnePlus phone also offers faster wireless charging.
Xiaomi’s high-end phones offer robust hardware, and Xiaomi 17 is no different. The smartphone ships with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, which is faster and more efficient than the Dimensity 9500 inside the Vivo X300.
The Xiaomi 17 (review) packs a bigger 6,330mAh battery (versus 6,040mAh on Vivo X300) and offers faster wired and wireless charging.
The Realme GT 8 Pro features a larger 6.79-inch AMOLED screen with a higher resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. The peak brightness of 7,000 nits is also much higher than the 4,500 nits on the Vivo X300. The Realme smartphone also delivers better performance and efficiency, thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor.
The GT 8 Pro’s camera specs are competitive with the Vivo X300, but it outperforms the Vivo phone in battery capacity and charging speeds.

Samsung Display is facing a significant supply disruption in China this April, according to recent industry reports. All display orders scheduled for the month have reportedly been cancelled, with no fresh stock available for shipment. Distributors are currently relying only on existing inventory, indicating a sudden halt in supply flow.
Sources suggest that there has been internal confirmation of zero stock availability for the April dispatch. While early signs of disruption appeared as shipment delays at the beginning of the month, the situation quickly escalated into complete order cancellations. This specifically affects Distributor Purchase (DP) orders across the region.
AI-generated image for representation only
The impact is being felt widely among offline distributors, many of whom have been formally notified about the lack of stock. Major distribution partners, including Hanlinhui and Samsung Pengtai, are among those affected. As a result, distributors have entered an inventory depletion phase, with no new stock being added to the supply chain.
Pricing has also started to shift due to tightening supply. Hanlinhui reportedly resumed limited shipping on April 13, but without subsidies. This has led to an approximate price increase of ¥100 (~$15), signaling rising costs and constrained availability.
Samsung Pengtai continues to supply products to JD.com, but it is operating solely on remaining inventory and is unable to secure new stock at this time.
The disruption points to a short-term supply crunch in China’s display market. It may lead to broader price increases and could reflect underlying production or logistics challenges within Samsung Display’s operations.
Xiaomi has officially launched the Redmi G Pro 32U 2026, a 32-inch Mini LED monitor designed for gamers and content creators. The monitor is now available for pre-order in China at a price of 3,199 yuan ($468).

The design includes an aluminum alloy frame, slim bezels, and RGB ambient lighting for a customizable look. The stand delivers flexibility with options for height adjustment, tilt, swivel, and pivot, as well as VESA mount support.
A growing number of Samsung Galaxy Watch users are reporting unusual battery drain across several models. The issue appears to have started after recent software updates. Many users say their smartwatch battery is draining much faster than usual, even though their daily usage habits have not changed.
The problem has been reported on multiple devices, including the Samsung Galaxy Watch6, Samsung Galaxy Watch7, Samsung Galaxy Watch8, and the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra. Some users claim their battery life has dropped from around four days to just two days after the update.
Suspected Cause
The issue is widely believed to be linked to Google Play Services. This system service handles important tasks such as app syncing, location tracking, and background processes. Reports suggest it may be running abnormally in the background, causing frequent CPU wake-ups and increased power consumption.
User Reports and Behavior
Users on forums like Reddit have described the battery drain as sudden and severe. In some cases, Google Play Services alone is said to consume more than 10% of the battery. Restarting the watch may temporarily reduce this usage, but the problem often returns. Some users have also noticed missing or inaccurate battery usage stats.
Temporary Fixes and Current Status
Basic troubleshooting steps like restarting the watch, clearing the cache, or performing a full reset have been tried by many users. However, these fixes only provide temporary relief and are not reliable.
As of now, there has been no official response from Samsung or Google. The exact cause remains unclear, and users may need to wait for a future software update to fully resolve the issue.

Note on 4G / 5G Variants:
It’s worth noting that you may see different specs and chipset details for the OPPO A6s Pro across various sources. This is because the phone is launched in multiple variants for different markets. Some regions may get a 4G version powered by the MediaTek Helio G100 MAX, while the China variant is positioned as a 5G model using a Dimensity 6300/6360 series chipset. So, the exact processor and some other specs may vary depending on the region and final model launched.

Samsung has stretched the One UI 8.5 beta program long enough to make it the longest One UI beta program in the company’s history. While that can be frustrating, it has allowed the brand to release the One UI 8.5 beta to a larger number of Galaxy devices, thus becoming the company’s biggest beta program to date.
The beta program went live in early December 2025, starting with the Galaxy S25 series, and it didn’t expand to other devices for the next three months. That long gap led to rumors that the beta program might remain exclusive to the Galaxy S25 series. But Samsung had other plans.
In mid-March 2026, the One UI 8.5 beta expanded to Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 for the first time. The beta rollout has since expanded to over a dozen Galaxy devices. What surprised us the most is the inclusion of Galaxy A-series phones, which typically don’t receive minor One UI releases. The list also includes three generations of FE phones, for the first time.
As of writing this post, the One UI 8.5 beta program is available for a total of 21 Galaxy devices. Here’s the complete list:
Galaxy S25 series, S24 series, S23 series
Galaxy S25 FE, S24 FE, S23 FE
Galaxy Z Fold 7, Fold 6, Fold 5
Galaxy Z Flip 6, Flip 6, Flip 5
Galaxy Tab S11, Tab S11 Ultra
Galaxy A55, A36, A35
That’s 21 devices in total, more than the total number of Galaxy devices that participated in previous One UI beta programs. The One UI 8.0 beta had about 18 eligible devices, while the One UI 7 beta had only 12. The One UI 6.1 and One UI 6.1.1 beta programs had fewer than 15 eligible devices each.
While it’s good to see Samsung doing the hard work to bring the One UI 8.5 beta to a larger user base, there’s still room for improvement. Samsung could’ve done a better job of expanding the beta, particularly in the first few months. And for the Galaxy S25 series, Samsung appears to be prolonging the beta program, given that recent beta builds have had no critical bugs. It has already received nine One UI 8.5 betas, which is already the biggest any Galaxy device has received so far. Still, looking at new features and upgrades in One UI 8.5, the wait is worth it.

Xiaomi has added a new model to its entry-level lineup in India, and this one brings a small change to the naming as well. The Redmi A7 Pro 5G is now official, marking the first time a “Pro” tag shows up in the A-series. At a glance, the focus is pretty clear. This phone is all about size and battery, rather than pushing performance.
You get a 6.9-inch HD+ LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Resolution is still on the lower side, but for everyday use, scrolling, videos, it should feel good enough. Xiaomi has also added triple TUV Certifications for Low Blue Light, Flicker-Free viewing, and Circadian-friendly tuning to ensure a comfortable visual experience.
Under the hood, it runs on the Unisoc T8300, paired with 4GB RAM and up to 8GB of virtual RAM. Storage goes up to 128GB and can be expanded via microSD, so there’s some flexibility there.
The phone packs a 6,300mAh battery, which should easily last a full day, and likely longer for lighter users. Charging is capped at 15W, so topping it up will take some time.
Cameras are fairly basic. A 32MP main sensor on the back, plus an 8MP front camera. Enough for casual use, but clearly not the highlight here.
On the software side, it runs HyperOS 3 based on Android 16, and Xiaomi is promising up to four years of OS updates and six years of security patches. That’s actually quite solid for this segment. Other bits include a side fingerprint sensor, headphone jack, USB-C, and IP52 rating for basic dust and splash protection.
Pricing and availability:
Pricing starts at ₹11,499 for the 4GB + 64GB model, going up to ₹12,499 for 128GB. Sales begin April 15 across Xiaomi’s website, Amazon, and offline stores.
While this is a straightforward budget phone, the camera island design makes it look much more expensive than it is, which could be a big selling point for many.
Samsung looks like it’s leaning more seriously into its own chips for 2027. New reports suggest the company plans to increase the use of Exynos processors in the Galaxy S27 series, mainly to reduce how much it depends on Qualcomm. The reason is pretty straightforward, Snapdragon chips are getting expensive. For the Galaxy S25 lineup, Samsung went all-in on Qualcomm’s flagship chip, which ended up costing the company around 3 trillion won.
If Samsung continues down this path, things don’t really get easier. The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro, expected to power the Galaxy S27 Ultra, is said to move to TSMC’s more expensive 2nm process. That would likely push costs even higher. At that point, Samsung either absorbs the hit, passes it on to buyers, or leans more on its own chips to keep manufacturing costs in check.
So the shift toward Exynos isn’t exactly surprising. That said, real-life performance tests paint a mixed picture of the Exynos 2600. It performs well in some areas, but still trails Snapdragon in power efficiency, thermals, and battery life.
As for the Galaxy S27 series, Samsung is said to be aiming for roughly a 50% split between Snapdragon and Exynos. That’s a noticeable jump, and it suggests the company is more confident this time around.
Of course, this isn’t without some risk. Exynos hasn’t always had the best reputation, especially when compared to Snapdragon in real-world use. That said, recent versions have improved, and Samsung clearly has a strong incentive to keep pushing in that direction.
In a way, this feels like a long-term correction. Relying too heavily on Qualcomm turned out to be expensive, and now Samsung is trying to rebalance things.
How well this works will depend on the power efficiency and stability of the Exynos 2700. If it can hold up in everyday performance, not just benchmarks, Samsung might finally get closer to that balance it’s been aiming for.
