Huawei‘s dominance in the Chinese smartphone market shows no signs of slowing. The company has surpassed Apple and domestic competitors like Xiaomi to claim the top spot in the country’s smartphone market. And it’s also the number one foldable brand in China.
The success can be attributed in part to Huawei’s strategy of self-reliance in hardware and software, mitigating the impact of the U.S. ban on its domestic business. The company’s next flagship will be the Huawei Pura 80 Ultra, and it looks like the phone will make an even greater impact.
Huawei Pura 80 Ultra to feature self-developed cameras
According to Weibo tipster Smart Pikachu, the device will feature a “self-developed” triple-camera system on the rear. This will include a massive 1-inch sensor for the main camera, a 50-megapixel ultrawide sensor, and a “super-large” periscope zoom lens with a 1/1.3-inch sensor. For context, the Pura 70 series uses OmniVision sensors.
Huawei is also rumored to be working on a new Kirin 5G chip for the Pura 80 series. The chip is reportedly called Kirin 9020, and it should provide even more power and performance for photography tasks.
The company is also likely to enhance its AI capabilities with the next Pura line, which could lead to further improvements in image processing.
The Huawei Pura 80 series is expected to launch in Q2 2025, likely around April, in line with the Pura 70 series’ release schedule. However, Huawei has yet to confirm these details. The official specs and features of the upcoming flagship smartphones may be revealed directly at the official unveiling.

Leaked details suggest Sony’s PlayStation 6 (PS6) is further along in development than anticipated. According to leaker Kepler_L2 on the NeoGAF forums, the console’s system-on-chip (SoC) design is complete and in the pre-silicon validation phase, with the A0 tapeout scheduled for later this year. Simply put, this means Sony has finished designing the core processing chip and is now rigorously testing it virtually. Later this year, they plan to produce the first batch of these chips to see how they perform in real-world conditions.
Hardware Advancements
As per the leak, the PS6 is set to feature a semi-custom APU from AMD, manufactured by TSMC. This chip combines a Zen 5 CPU and UDNA GPU, both built on cutting-edge process nodes. Intel reportedly lost the bid to produce the PS6 processor to AMD in 2022. The Zen 5 CPU is expected to feature 8 cores and 16 threads, delivering significant performance gains over the Zen 2-based CPU in the PS5.
The UDNA GPU, previously referred to as RDNA 5, will utilize TSMC’s N3E process node. It is rumored to support advanced features like X3D cache technology, similar to AMD’s Ryzen 7 9800X3D desktop processor, offering enhanced performance for gaming and computational tasks.
Gaming Capabilities
The PS6 is expected to improve the gaming experience with support for 4K at 120FPS and 8K at 60FPS, powered by a Zen 5 CPU and UDNA GPU. The PS5 marked a significant performance jump over the PS4, boosting computing power from 1.84 teraflops to 10.3 teraflops. While the exact performance increase for the PS6 remains unclear, and native 4K resolution is not guaranteed, the console will likely utilize AI-based upscaling technologies to deliver high-quality visuals. Sony’s PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) is set for major upgrades, along with AMD’s upcoming FidelityFX Super Resolution 5 (FSR 5).
The PS5 launched in November 2020 and rumors suggest that the PS6 release is expected to happen in 2027.
Apple is under fire for allegedly selling Apple Watch bands containing high levels of harmful “forever chemicals,” known as PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances).
According to the Register, a newly filed class-action lawsuit in the Northern District of California accuses the tech giant of failing to disclose the presence of hazardous substances in three types of bands: the Sport Band, Ocean Band, and Nike Sport Band.
Lawsuit Highlights Health Risks of PFAS in Wearable Tech
PFAS, commonly found in consumer products like nonstick cookware and apparel, are prized for their durability and resistance to sweat and oils. However, they are linked to severe health risks, including cancer, immune suppression, and developmental harm in unborn children. Known for their persistence in the environment, PFAS can also accumulate in the human body over time, earning them the “forever chemicals” label.
The lawsuit cites a 2024 study by the University of Notre Dame, which found elevated PFAS levels in multiple smartwatch bands, including those from Apple. Researchers detected high concentrations of perfluorohexanoic acid (PFHxA) in certain bands using advanced testing methods.
While the study did not specify which bands were tested, it shows the risks associated with prolonged skin contact during activities like exercise, when sweat and open pores may facilitate chemical absorption.
The lawsuit alleges that Apple knowingly sold these bands despite its 2022 commitment to eliminate PFAS from its products. It accuses the company of fraud, negligence, and violating California consumer protection laws. The plaintiffs are seeking class-action status, financial compensation, and a court order to halt the sale of the affected bands.
As concerns about PFAS grow, consumers are urged to opt for safer alternatives, like silicone or PFAS-free bands, while awaiting clearer regulations and manufacturer accountability. Apple has yet to comment on the lawsuit.

Yesterday, Samsung held a mega launch event to unveil the Galaxy S25 series of smartphones. There have been reports that the Galaxy S25 lineup will include a fourth model, dubbed the Galaxy S25 Slim. However, at the S25 series launch event, the company teased an upcoming phone called the Galaxy S25 Edge, putting an end to rumors about the “Slim” moniker. Nevertheless, the Galaxy S25 Edge is expected to sport an ultra-thin design. According to a new Weibo post by tipster Digital Chat Station, Chinese smartphone manufacturers are expected to respond by launching their iterations of ultra-thin phones.
Chinese Ultra-thin phones to offer top-notch battery life
The Galaxy S25 Edge reportedly features a 6.7-inch flat OLED panel, the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset, and a battery of around 3,900mAh capacity. Other reports have suggested that the device’s thickness is said to be around 6.4mm.
DCS revealed that Chinese brands like Vivo, Oppo, and Xiaomi will also launch ultra-thin phones like the S25 Edge. These devices will be positioned as mid-range and sub-series smartphones. For those who don’t know, even Apple is said to be working on a slim phone, which is being dubbed by names like iPhone 17 Air or Slim by the rumor mill.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge teaser
DCS claims the ultra-thin phones from Chinese brands will have bigger batteries and thereby offer better battery life than Samsung and Apple. Therefore, it appears that the slim phones from Vivo, Oppo, and Xiaomi could pack around 4,500mAh+ battery. Hopefully, newer reports will reveal more details about the upcoming slim phones.
If you’re looking for the ultimate Android flagship, Samsung’s Galaxy S series is usually the first name that comes to mind. The Ultra model, in particular, is the high-end option that packs the most advanced features, the latest and greatest hardware, and a premium design.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
With the release of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, many are wondering how it stacks up against its predecessors, the S24 Ultra and the S23 Ultra. Has Samsung finally made a significant leap, or is this another year of incremental upgrades? Let’s break it all down.
A Flatter Design, Lighter Ultra
One of the most noticeable changes in the Galaxy S25 Ultra is its design. Samsung has gone toward a fully flat frame this generation, thus, it looks more in line with the standard S series models. The four corners now have a more prominent curve that should make the phone more comfortable to hold compared to the sharper edges of its predecessors.
The S25 Ultra is also the slimmest and lightest Ultra model to date. At 16g lighter than the S23 Ultra and 15g lighter than the S24 Ultra, it should feel noticeably less hefty. The titanium frame, first introduced in the S24 Ultra, returns, along with Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the rear and the new Gorilla Armor 2 on the front, which Samsung claims is 29% more resistant to fractures.
As for colors, Samsung has gone all-in on its titanium branding. The S25 Ultra is available in Titanium Black, Titanium Gray, Titanium Silverblue, and Titanium Whitesilver. In contrast, the S24 Ultra was available in Titanium Black, Titanium Gray, Titanium Violet, and Titanium Yellow, while the S23 Ultra had a wider variety of Earth-tone finishes.
A Slightly Bigger, Brighter Screen
The Galaxy S25 Ultra features a 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, which is a whole 0.1 inches larger than the screens of the S24 Ultra and S23 Ultra. This increase in size is made possible by the 15% reduction in bezel thickness.
The S25 Ultra maintains the impressive 2,600-nit peak brightness of the S24 Ultra. The S23 Ultra, in comparison, topped out at 1,750 nits.
A new feature this year is ProScaler, which Samsung claims improves lower-resolution content by 43% more detail. This could be beneficial for mobile streaming apps, many of which cap resolution below QHD.
Performance and AI
Samsung has introduced the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset in the S25 Ultra. The SoC delivers better performance and power efficiency than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in the S24 Ultra and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in the S23 Ultra.
The biggest differentiator in 2025, however, is AI. The S25 Ultra introduces AI Agents, an upgraded assistant that integrates deeply into One UI 7.0. It can perform tasks between apps on behalf of the user. You can activate it with a long press of the power button.
Samsung has also improved the Circle to Search feature, allowing it to recognize sounds in videos, and introduced Now Brief, a home-screen widget that provides morning and evening summaries based on your schedule and notifications.
Camera Upgrades
Samsung hasn’t overhauled the camera system on S25 Ultra much. There are some noteworthy changes though. The ultrawide sensor has been upgraded from 12MP to 50MP, which should produce sharper, more detailed macro shots and better low-light performance.
The main 200MP sensor remains unchanged, as do the telephoto lenses: a 10MP 3x zoom and a 50MP 5x zoom. Samsung ditched the 10x periscope zoom that was present in the S23 Ultra with its successor.
Video capabilities have been enhanced with improved noise reduction and a new Spatial-Temporal Filter (STF) for better low-light video. Samsung has also added Galaxy Log for more professional-grade color correction in post-production.
Software and Longevity
One of the biggest selling points of the S25 Ultra is its software longevity. It will ship with Android 15 and One UI 7 and will receive seven years of OS updates and security patches.
The S24 Ultra shares this same commitment, but the S23 Ultra is capped at Android 17 and security updates through 2028. For users who keep their phones for a long time, the S25 Ultra has a clear advantage.
S Pen: Bluetooth Support Is Gone
One surprising downgrade in the S25 Ultra is the S Pen. While it remains stored in a dedicated silo, Samsung has removed Bluetooth (BLE) support, meaning Air Actions and remote camera shutter functions are no longer available.
According to Samsung, less than 1% of users utilized these features, so they decided to remove them. If you rely on those remote-control capabilities, you might prefer the S23 Ultra or S24 Ultra instead.
Battery Life and Charging
The S25 Ultra sticks to the same 5,000mAh battery capacity as its predecessors. Charging speeds remain at 45W wired and 15W wireless, with 5W reverse wireless charging. While there are no new improvements here, the efficiency gains from the Snapdragon 8 Elite should result in better battery life overall.
Should You Upgrade?
If you’re coming from the S23 Ultra, the S25 Ultra offers a more refined design, a larger display, improved cameras, longer software support, and a much more advanced AI experience. If those features matter to you, it’s worth the upgrade.
If you have an S24 Ultra, the differences are less dramatic. The slightly larger display, 50MP ultrawide camera, and AI enhancements might not be enough to justify a full upgrade.
For those looking to buy an Ultra model for the first time, the S25 Ultra is the obvious choice, given its future-proofing, AI features, and extended update cycle. But if you’re on a budget, the S23 Ultra at a discount might still be a solid option.
Overall, the S25 Ultra is a refinement rather than a revolution. It’s an Ultra, just a slightly better one.

The Realme 14T reportedly carries the model number RMX5078 for the Indian variant and is expected to be available in three RAM and storage configurations, along with three color options.
The base variant will have 8/128GB memory, followed by 8/256GB and 12/256GB configurations.
As for color options, the leak suggests the phone will come in Lighting Purple, Mountains Green, and Obsidian Black. These names are fairly standard for smartphones these days, but hopefully, the actual colors will be more interesting in person.
The Realme 14T seems to be a new addition to the existing series that already includes the Realme 14 Pro, 14 Pro+, and the Realme 14x. It’s unclear where it will fit in terms of pricing. For reference, the Realme 14 Pro starts at Rs 24,999, and the Realme 14 Pro+ starts at Rs 29,999.
Realme 14T EEC Certification
In addition to the color and memory options, the Realme 14T has also been spotted on the EEC (Eurasian Economic Commission) website. The listing mentions the model number RMX5079 alongside RMX5078, which could possibly be another variant of the same phone.
While the certification doesn’t reveal any hardware details, it suggests that the launch might be nearing in the region covered by the EEC. Not much else is known about the phone yet, but we should expect more details to emerge in the coming days.

Qualcomm worked closely with Samsung to bring the Snapdragon 8 Elite For Galaxy. This is a custom version of Qualcomm’s latest flagship chip that offers various improvements over the regular variant. The chipmaker claims that it is the fastest mobile SoC in the world, so here’s everything new.
Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy
Snapdragon 8 Elite For Galaxy: Performance
The Snapdragon 8 Elite For Galaxy features second generation custom Qualcomm Oryon CPU along with a new Adreno GPU, and Qualcomm’s Hexagon NPU for improved on-device AI functionality. This improvement in AI technology would likely improve the capabilities of the Galaxy AI suite of features.
With the deeper integration of AI, both companies have tailored the Snapdragon 8 Elite For Galaxy with the latest Gemini powered features. Apart from AI, even the raw performance is getting a bump thanks to the two prime cores having a 4.47GHz clock speed. To recall, the regular version has a 4.32GHz frequency.
Snapdragon Satellite and Wi-Fi 7
One of the latest inclusions in the new chip is the global support for Wi-Fi 7 standard thanks to the Qualcomm FastConnect 7800 Mobile Connectivity System and Snapdragon X80 Modem-RF System for 5G connectivity. But more importantly, the Galaxy S25 series are also the first commercial smartphones to feature Snapdragon Satellite. For those unaware, this technology basically allows users to send and receive messages directly via satellite (narrowband NTN).
Improved Image Quality
Another upgrade in the Snapdragon 8 Elite For Galaxy is with its ISP. Samsung worked with Qualcomm to improve image quality thanks to the integration of the new Spatio-Temporal Filter (STF) into the Qualcomm Spectra ISP. This allows for sharper low light video capture capabilities, with upgrades being noticeable even in the 8K 30fps recordings. Despite this, Qualcomm claims that it has bumped its energy efficiency as well.

First announced in December 2024, Samsung’s ‘Project Moohan’ XR headset promises to redefine how users interact with their physical and digital environments. The headset, powered by the new Android XR operating system developed in collaboration with Google and Qualcomm, will likely feature multimodal input capabilities. This includes eye tracking, hand gestures, and voice commands, enabling seamless control of apps and interactions.
The XR headset is expected to feature ultra-high-resolution OLEDoS displays, low-latency passthrough capabilities, and spatial computing powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 chip. With support for Google’s Gemini AI assistant, users may enjoy immersive features like Circle to Search, live text translation, and enhanced browsing via Google Chrome. While Samsung has not announced an official release date, it’s speculated the device will launch later this year with a price exceeding $2,000.
Samsung smart glasses teased
In addition to the XR headset, Samsung hinted at the development of AI-powered smart glasses. These could be powered by the Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1 chip and Google’s Gemini platform, enabling voice and vision-based input.
Samsung CEO TM Roh also mentioned plans to bring smart glasses “as soon as possible,” suggesting the company is positioning itself to lead the next generation of wearable devices.

Samsung has been following a pattern of launching new A-series smartphones within the first quarter of the year, usually a couple of weeks after announcing its Galaxy S-series flagship phones. The South Korean brand has just launched the Galaxy S25 series in multiple markets across the globe, and it appears that the company may soon launch new A-series phones, such as the Galaxy A56 and Galaxy A36. A new leak, courtesy of tipster Abhishek Yadav, has revealed the launch timeframe for both smartphones.
According to the tipster, the Galaxy A56 and Galaxy A36 will debut by mid-March globally, including the Indian market. Since the brand has just launched its new flagship phones, it is likely that the company will start teasing the arrival of the A56 and A36 in February.
Samsung Galaxy A36 specifications: What’s known so far
There are not many details about the Galaxy A36 available. Shown above is a CAD render of the device, which reveals that it will continue to sport the Key Island design that features a flat frame and a noticeable bulge at buttons on the right. It is expected to feature a 6.64-inch AMOLED FHD+ screen integrated with a fingerprint sensor, a 12-megapixel front camera, a 50-megapixel rear camera, a Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 or 7s Gen 2 chipset, a 5,000mAh battery with 45W charging, and Android 15.
Samsung Galaxy A56 specifications: What’s known so far
The above images that have emerged in the database of China’s TENAA certification platform have already revealed the design of the Galaxy A56. As per reports, the A56 is expected to arrive with a 6.7-inch AMOLED FHD+ 120Hz screen, an Exynos 1580 chipset, 8 GB / 12 GB of RAM, 128 GB / 256 GB of built-in storage, a 5,000mAh battery with 45W charging, and Android 15.

Samsung unveiled its latest Galaxy S25 series smartphones at its Unpacked event yesterday, but that wasn’t all the company had in store.
The South Korean giant also unveiled a slim device called the Galaxy S25 Edge (expected to launch later this year) and revealed its plans to develop AR glasses in collaboration with Google.
Another major revelation was a tri-fold phone from Samsung. While presenting its roadmap for upcoming devices, the company explicitly revealed that they have a tri-fold phone in development.
Although no specific timeline was mentioned, the implication is that the device could arrive after the next iteration of Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold and Flip foldable phones.
What we know about Samsung tri-fold
Huawei was the first to explore this domain, and it’s clear that Samsung doesn’t want to be left behind. In fact, the company has been showing off prototypes of tri-fold concept phones at CES for a couple of years now. So, it’s unsurprising that such a device was under consideration.
It’s just that Samsung has now officially teased the product, confirming that it is set to become a legitimate consumer device sooner or later.
According to the latest rumors, Samsung’s tri-fold phone is expected to feature a display measuring around 9.9 to 10 inches when unfolded. Reportedly, it will adopt a “G-Type” form factor rather than the S-shaped design of the Huawei Mate X series.
In simple terms, this means the device will fold entirely inward instead of folding both inward and outward like its competitor. This design choice should provide better protection for the large primary screen when not in use.
Another rumor is that Samsung will limit the production of its first tri-fold phone to just 200,000 units. That’s not a lot, so if you’re already intrigued, you might want to start saving up now.
