Motorola Razr 70 Ultra bags an important certification before launch

The rumor mill has been consistently revealing details about the Motorola Razr 70 series, which includes the vanilla Razr 70 and the Razr 70 Ultra. Last month, the standard edition was approved by Chinese certification platforms like 3C and TENAA. Now, the 3C authority has approved the Razr 70 Ultra, indicating it has cleared an important hurdle and is expected to debut soon in China.

As seen above, China’s 3C authority has approved a Motorola phone with model number XT2655-4. Based on recent reports, it is expected to launch as the Motorola Razr 70 Ultra. The listing reveals that it may ship with a 68W charger, which means it will support 68W charging, similar to last year’s Razr 60 Ultra.

A recent report revealed that the Razr 70 Ultra will arrive in two shades: Orient Blue Alcantara, featuring a faux leather texture, and Pantone Cocoa Wood, which offers a matte wooden finish.

CAD renders of the Razr 70 Ultra, which surfaced a few days ago, suggest that it could be slightly thicker than the previous generation. As a result, there is a possibility that the device may pack a slightly larger battery than the Razr 60 Ultra’s 4,700mAh unit.

Other specifications of the Razr 70 Ultra remain under wraps. Considering that the Razr 60 Ultra featured the Snapdragon 8 Elite, it is likely that the upcoming model could be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. More details are expected to emerge in the coming days.

iPhone 18 Pro could get Deep Red, and Android brands will copy again

The iPhone 17 Pro series’ “Starry Orange” finish has been one of the most talked-about iPhone colors in years. It’s also inspired a wave of copycat shades across multiple Android brands. We’re looking at you, Honor

If a new leak is anything to go by, Apple may be planning a repeat performance next year with the iPhone 18 Pro lineup.

According to leaker Digital Chat Station, Apple is testing a new deep, more refined red finish for the next Pro iPhones. The shade is said to continue Apple’s recent strategy of turning bold colorways into headline features rather than secondary options.

What’s even more interesting is that some Android manufacturers have reportedly already started experimenting with similar tones. Copycat cycle, meet déjà vu.

What can you expect from the iPhone 18 Pro?

The iPhone 18 Pro is also rumored to feature a higher screen-to-body ratio. Leaks claim Apple is working to shrink the front cutout area, reducing its width from 20.76mm to 13.49mm. That’s roughly a 35 percent drop. 

The result should be a slightly more immersive display, though it’s the kind of change you’ll likely notice more on a spec sheet than in day-to-day use.

On the performance side, the iPhone 18 Pro series is expected to debut Apple’s A20 Pro chip. It will be among the first set of smartphone processors to be built on TSMC’s 2nm process. 

This year, Apple is also expected to launch iPhone Ultra, Apple’s first foldable, alongside the iPhone 18 series. 

However, there’s still some time before Apple officially announces the upcoming phones, but more details are likely to surface through unofficial channels as we get closer to launch.

Qualcomm may be working with CXMT on new DRAM for smartphones

The smartphone industry has been dealing with supply chain issues for years, but memory shortages are now harder to ignore than ever. A mix of rising demand for AI hardware and limited production capacity has pushed DRAM prices up, putting pressure on companies that rely on it to build phones.

According to reports from Wccftech and South Korean publication JoongAng Ilbo, Qualcomm is now working with Changxin Memory Technologies (CXMT) to develop custom DRAM tailored for smartphones. 

Qualcomm

Since a large portion of DRAM manufacturing capacity is currently used for high-bandwidth memory (HBM), manufacturers are focusing less on mobile-focused memory, creating a shortage in the industry. 

This imbalance is affecting different segments in different ways. Flagship phones can absorb rising costs more easily, but budget and mid-range devices have less flexibility. 

Why could this be the right move?

Memory has quietly become one of the most expensive parts of a phone. DRAM alone makes up roughly a third of the total bill of materials, and when combined with NAND storage, memory accounts for more than half of the cost of building a typical device. This makes it harder for manufacturers to keep prices stable without cutting corners elsewhere.

Qualcomm-Snapdragon-8-Elite-Gen-5-confirmed

There are already signs that the pressure is reshaping production strategies. Both Qualcomm and MediaTek are said to have scaled back orders for their mid-range 4nm chips. The reduction reportedly means tens of millions fewer chips.

In that context, Qualcomm’s collaboration with CXMT is a good move, if true. By working directly with a memory manufacturer, Qualcomm could gain more control over supply and maybe stabilize costs for its partners.

The partnership also has a geographic angle. China remains the largest smartphone market, and many of Qualcomm’s biggest customers are based there. Custom DRAM developed with CXMT could primarily serve that ecosystem, which will help local manufacturers navigate the current constraints more effectively.

Casio GA-V01SKE Translucent G-Shock With Y2K Aesthetic Launched in the US

Casio has refreshed its GA-V01 series with a new translucent lineup that leans into a Y2K-inspired design. The original GA-V01 already stood out for its unusual, almost sci-fi look, and these new versions push that further with clear cases and bold color finishes.

The watches come in four shades: neon green, black, orange, and purple. The see-through casing gives them a different feel compared to earlier solid models, but the structure underneath stays the same. Casio continues to use an integrated bezel and band design that protects the core module. The large hour markers extend over the glass and also act as bumpers, adding to the watch’s shock resistance.

In terms of build, the GA-V01 keeps the typical G-Shock durability. It is shock-resistant and rated for 200-meter water resistance. The case measures 49.1 × 58.2 × 19.6 mm and weighs 74 g. It uses a resin case and strap, along with mineral and spherical glass. The watch supports wrist sizes between 145 and 215 mm.

A key feature is the Shock Release Hand system. The minute hand is attached using magnetic force instead of a fixed connection. This allows it to shift slightly during shocks or vibrations and then return to the correct position. The design also enables larger hands and more flexibility in styling.

The dial combines analog and digital elements, featuring a full-screen LCD with a metallic openwork design. It includes two analog hands and a digital display showing time, date, and other functions. A hand shift feature ensures the display remains visible when needed.

Functionality includes world time across 31 time zones covering 48 cities, a 1/100-second stopwatch, a countdown timer up to 24 hours, and five daily alarms with an hourly signal. It also includes a double LED light system with selectable duration and afterglow. Additional features include a full auto-calendar up to 2099, ±15 seconds per month accuracy, and support for both 12 and 24-hour formats. The watch is powered by a CR2025 battery with an estimated life of 10 years.

The translucent GA-V01SKE series was first launched in Japan and is now available in the US. The models are priced at $155, with availability through Casio’s official online store.

The air conditioner delivers a circulating air volume of up to 1752 m³/h, which ensures faster temperature adjustments across large rooms. It features a wide 115-degree air supply angle, allowing it to distribute air evenly throughout the space. The unit supports airflow distribution over a distance of up to 13 meters, reaching every corner of the room without users needing to sit directly in its path.

The Mijia AC delivers rapid cooling and heating, with cooling in 30 seconds and heating in 60 seconds. It operates in extreme conditions, from -32°C for heating to 60°C for cooling, making it suitable for all seasons.

Xiaomi has equipped the Mijia air conditioner with a 181 mm wide air outlet and a 2600 cm² area for softer airflow. It features a multi-zone airflow system with upper and lower sectional distribution, offering modes like canopy wind for overhead cooling and carpet wind for lower airflow, enhancing comfort indoors.

The air conditioner achieves an APF rating of 4.75, which enhances energy efficiency compared to older models. It supports Xiaomi HyperOS Connect, enabling users to control it through the Mijia app.

The system also integrates with XiaoAI voice control when paired with supported devices. Xiaomi has included full-link OTA updates for the indoor and outdoor units, ensuring the air conditioner remains optimized over time.

Xiaomi has developed advanced maintenance features for this model. The internal self-cleaning mechanism uses condensation, frost, and high-temperature drying (up to 56°C) to reach a sterilization rate of 99% against bacteria like E. coli. The outdoor unit’s self-cleaning process uses condensed water to clean the heat exchanger, maintaining long-term performance.

In related news, Xiaomi has recently introduced the Mijia Wireless Floor Washer 5 Pro, offering 26,000Pa suction power and up to 40 minutes of runtime. The company has also launched the Mijia Smart Curtain 3 Pro, which features quieter motors and supports independent left and right curtain control.

Google’s NameDrop-like contact sharing feature is called “Tap to Share”

Google has been quietly working on its own version of Apple NameDrop for a while now. The first signs surfaced back in November, and there’s already a video showing how it works. Now, a new report has revealed what Google plans to call it.

It’s called “tap to share.” Not subtle, but it gets the point across.

Folks over at Android Authority managed to enable the feature in Google Play Services v26.15.3.

Here’s how tap to share works

First, unlock your phone, bring the tops of the two devices together, and keep both screens facing up. From there, you can share contacts or send media like photos, videos, links, locations, and even “more”. You’ll need to hold the devices together until they glow, which acts as a visual confirmation that the transfer is underway.

There’s also a preview screen showing exactly what contact info you’re about to share before it’s sent, which is a nice touch.

If this all sounds familiar, that’s because it is. Apple NameDrop uses NFC to initiate the handshake, then switches to Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to actually move the data. Previous reports suggest Google is taking a similar approach here. The feature has even been spotted in Samsung One UI 9, hinting at broader ecosystem support.

And honestly, it’s about time. NameDrop is one of those small-but-delightful features with slick animations that make sharing feel effortless. Android has had plenty of sharing options over the years, but nothing quite this seamless.

We are not sure when Google will roll out the feature, but given how far along this build appears, it is safe to assume it will arrive sooner rather than later.

G-Shock GA-2100 Nissan GT-R Edition Revealed, May 2026 Launch Tipped

Nissan has teamed up once again with Casio for a new collaboration under the G-Shock lineup. This time, the partnership introduces a special edition watch based on the G-Shock GA-2100, inspired by the iconic Nissan GT-R range. The model is expected to launch in May 2026. The information comes from a recent post shared by @geesgshock on Instagram.

This is the first time the GT-R edition uses the GA-2100 platform. Earlier collaborations have mostly stayed with fully digital models, so this marks a clear shift in design. The watch comes in black, with red and white accents that match the GT-R’s usual color theme. A large GT-R logo sits on the dial, making the branding hard to miss.

The GA-2100 itself is known for its slim profile and octagonal case, along with an analog-digital display. That gives this version a different look compared to the square digital styles seen in earlier GT-R releases.

As with previous editions, availability will be limited. The watch will be sold only in Japan through Nissan dealerships, the Global Headquarters Gallery, the Nissan Boutique at Nissan Crossing, and the official Nissan Online Shop. Orders placed online will ship within Japan only.

The last GT-R collaboration came out in 2024 and was based on the DW-5600. That model kept things simple with an all-matte black finish, including the buttons and buckle. The GT-R logo was placed just above the display, and the watch used a positive LCD with an EL backlight. It also came in a custom tin case with GT-R branding.

Compared to that, the 2026 version stands out mainly for its design change. It keeps the GT-R identity, but the GA-2100 base gives it a more modern and slightly less utilitarian look.
