MediaTek Dimensity 9600 core setup leaks, performance gains capped at 15%

Just days after reports suggested the MediaTek Dimensity 9600 Pro could flirt with 5GHz clock speeds, a new leak is adding a bit more shape to the rumor.

According to tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS) on Weibo, the Dimensity 9600 Pro will use a 2+3+3 CPU layout built around what the tipster describes as a “dual-core all-big-core architecture.”

MediaTek Dimensity 9600 Pro core setup

More specifically, the chip is said to feature two high-performance “Canyon” cores, alongside three “Gelas-b” and three standard “Gelas” cores. The tipster further reiterates that the prime core clock speeds are expected to push close to the 5GHz mark.

The leak also mentions support for SME 2 (Scalable Matrix Extension 2), an extension designed to improve machine learning and AI-related workloads. On the graphics side, the chip is tipped to feature an Arm “Magni” GPU.

Memory and storage upgrades are also on the table. The Dimensity 9600 Pro is rumored to support LPDDR6 RAM and UFS 5.0 storage, both of which promise faster data throughput and improved efficiency over today’s standards.

Underlying all of this is TSMC’s N2P process. According to DCS, internal specifications reportedly suggest a 10 to 15 percent boost in performance alongside a 25 to 30 percent reduction in power consumption.

Interestingly, even Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro is expected to deliver a performance uplift of under 20%, despite reaching similar clock speeds near the 5GHz mark.

MediaTek-Dimensity-9600-two-prime-cores

Anywho, as you might have guessed by now, the Dimensity 9600 lineup won’t be a one-size-fits-all affair. The Pro model is set to carry the most advanced architecture, while the standard variant is rumored to stick with a 3nm process and will likely target more mainstream devices.

According to previous reports, the Vivo X500 series and the Oppo Find X10 lineup will be the first to use the Dimensity 9600 chip.

Huawei Enjoy 90m Plus launches quietly with a OnePlus 15-like design

Just weeks after unveiling the Enjoy 90 series, Huawei has quietly expanded its Enjoy 90 lineup with the launch of the Huawei Enjoy 90m Plus. Unlike the earlier announcement, this new model has appeared on Huawei’s official website without much fanfare.

Visually, the Enjoy 90m Plus has a noticeable change in the back design. Instead of two clearly separated lenses, the new model merges them into a single oval-shaped black capsule design. The design is more similar to the OnePlus 15 rather than the other Enjoy 90 phones. 

The phone also introduces an exclusive coral orange color option. It’s also available in white and black. 

Huawei Enjoy 90m Plus Specifications

In terms of performance, the Enjoy 90m Plus is powered by the Kirin 8000 processor. The phone runs on HarmonyOS 6.0 out of the box, along with Huawei’s AI-based security features to help prevent fraud and protect user data.

For storage, the Enjoy 90m Plus is available in 128GB and 256GB variants. On the camera side, it comes with a 50-megapixel rear camera that supports up to 10x digital zoom. On the front, there is an 8-megapixel camera for selfies and video calls.

The device features a 6.67-inch LCD with a 120Hz refresh rate. The resolution is HD+ (1604 × 720 pixels), which is not the sharpest in its class, but the higher refresh rate should help with smoother scrolling and animations. 

As for the battery, Huawei has equipped the phone with a large 6620mAh cell. It supports up to 40W fast charging, along with compatibility for 9V/2A charging. The device also includes support for StarFlash E1.0 and Bluetooth 6.0.

Huawei has not yet announced pricing or availability details for the Enjoy 90m Plus, but you can expect the final details to appear soon.

Motorola Razr 70 Ultra foldable surfaces in official press renders

After announcing the Motorola Razr Fold in January, Motorola is now gearing up to launch its clamshell foldable. The device appeared in CAD renders a couple of weeks earlier. 

Now, new official-looking renders of the Razr 70 Ultra, or possibly the Razr Ultra (2026), have surfaced via OnLeaks in collaboration with Android Headlines.

Here’s your official look at the Motorola Razr 70 Ultra

The images suggest the device will arrive in at least two finishes: Pantone Cocoa Wood and an Orient Blue Alcantara option. Like its predecessor, the outer display houses a triple-camera setup, with all three sensors reportedly clocking in at 50 megapixels.

One notable omission from these renders is any clear look at the internal camera. According to Android Headlines, that’s likely down to early rendering inconsistencies rather than a redesign, so don’t expect Lenovo to ditch the selfie camera or move to an under-display solution just yet.

Motorola Razr 70 Ultra press renders leak

It is said to feature a 7-inch internal foldable screen paired with a 4-inch cover display. The left edge now features a dedicated Moto AI button, while power and volume controls stay right-mounted. The bottom houses a USB Type-C port, a speaker grille, a microphone, and a SIM slot. A secondary microphone sits topside.

Under the hood, the Razr 70 Ultra is expected to pack a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 series chip, alongside a familiar 4,700mAh battery and 68W fast charging.

Timing-wise, the launch could be strategically aligned with the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Lenovo and Motorola have partnered with FIFA as an Official Technology Partner for the event, so the company will reportedly target a debut in the weeks leading up to kickoff on June 11.

Not to forget, the Razr 70 standard model has already surfaced on China’s TENAA with images and specifications. Both will likely launch on the same day.

Huawei AI Glasses teased with real-world camera sample

Huawei may be getting closer to launching its next wearable, this time in the form of AI-powered smart glasses. A recent post from He Gang, CEO of Huawei’s Consumer Business Group, offers an early look at what it can do.

He shared a photo taken using the upcoming Huawei AI Glasses, and the image includes a visible “HUAWEI AI Glasses” watermark. It’s a small detail, but it confirms that the product is already in a functional stage, at least internally. The sample itself, a shot of a blue plush toy, doesn’t say much on its own, though it does show that basic photography is part of the package.

This also suggests Huawei is moving beyond its earlier audio-focused smart glasses. The new model appears to include both camera and audio features, which puts it closer to what other companies have been trying in this space.

Based on earlier reports, the glasses could launch in the first half of 2026, possibly around April 21, alongside other Huawei products. That timing hasn’t been confirmed yet, but it lines up with recent activity.

On the software side, the glasses are expected to run on HarmonyOS, with a focus on integration across Huawei devices. One feature that’s been mentioned is real-time translation, which could be useful in situations like travel or meetings.

There are also signs of deeper integration in HarmonyOS 6, where a “Device Photo Import” option has been spotted. It appears to allow photos taken from the glasses to sync directly to a connected phone, with status updates shown in real time. It’s a small feature, but it hints at how Huawei is thinking about cross-device use.

In terms of design, the glasses are expected to be fairly lightweight and come in a few color options, including silver and black variants. Nothing unusual there, but it suggests Huawei is aiming for something that blends in rather than stands out too much.

Taken together, it looks like Huawei is preparing a more feature-complete pair of smart glasses, not just for audio, but for photography and basic AI functions as well. More details should become clearer once the company officially announces the product.

REDMI K90 Max beats two of its competitors in cooling fan performance

Xiaomi recently showed off its latest cooling setup in a live-streamed event, putting the REDMI K90 Max up against two other air-cooled phones. The idea was simple: stress the devices under heavy gaming and see how they hold up.

The test conditions were fairly demanding. The K90 Max was run through a 4-hour MOBA session at 144fps with maximum graphics. According to Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun, the phone reached a peak surface temperature of 36.7°C. For comparison, “competitor A” and “competitor B” reached 42.8°C and 39.0°C, respectively. The CEO didn’t name the devices, for obvious reasons. The CEO also noted that the phone uses a “large fan” and focuses on improving the airflow efficiency.

While he didn’t share details like the ambient temperature, the gap between the devices still gives a rough idea of how effective Xiaomi’s cooling system might be.

According to previous reports, the cooling fan is around 18.1mm in diameter, roughly 6% bigger than typical setups. Claimed airflow is around 0.42 CFM, with up to 40% better utilization, though it’s hard to compare directly without independent testing.

Another point mentioned in leaks is fan noise. The system is said to stay relatively quiet even under load, which is usually a concern with fan-based designs.

On the design side, the K90 Max is shown in a “Space Silver” finish, with a metal frame and slim bezels. The fan opening is integrated into the design, and it stands out visually as a key selling point of the phone. The phone also carries IP66, IP68, and IP69 ratings, suggesting the airflow system is sealed to protect internal components.

Whether those numbers hold up outside controlled demos is something we’ll only know once we get our hands on the device.

Galaxy S27’s Exynos 2700 appears on Geekbench with a 10-core CPU

Samsung just rolled out the Exynos 2600 in late 2025, shipping it in Galaxy S26 devices starting in February. As usual, the rumor mill has now moved to what’s next, and Samsung seems ahead in this journey.

The Exynos 2700 has already surfaced in Geekbench listings months before its expected debut alongside the Galaxy S27 series.

Exynos 2700 on Geekbench way before launch 

The listing reveals a chip carrying the model number S5E9975. On paper, it features a 10-core CPU, but not in the configuration we’re used to seeing. Instead of the standard three-cluster design of Exynos 2600, Samsung seems to be experimenting with a four-cluster layout for the Exynos 2700.

That breakdown includes a single core clocked at 2.30GHz, four cores at 2.40GHz, another single core at 2.78GHz, and four more cores pushing up to 2.88GHz. 

These aren’t peak clock speeds, of course, but the early numbers are still respectable. The chip scores 2,603 in single-core and 10,350 in multi-core on Geekbench 6. Interestingly, the multi-core result closely matches what the current Exynos 2600 can deliver, even without reaching 3GHz clock speeds.

On the graphics side, the chip is paired with what’s listed as an Xclipse 970 GPU. Early GPU benchmarking results show an OpenCL score of 15,618.

The test device itself is equipped with around 12GB of RAM and a newer version of Android. That’s fairly typical for early benchmark sightings.

As you might expect, early benchmark leaks rarely tell the full story. These chips are often tested before final optimizations are in place, and performance can change significantly by the time they are ready for actual devices.

The Nothing Phone (4a), with its 5080–5400mAh battery, offers reliable endurance but feels conventional. Its 50W charging is decent, though not class-leading.

Verdict

The Nord 6 is the clear powerhouse, ideal for gamers and heavy users. The Nothing Phone (4a) suits balanced everyday performance but doesn’t push boundaries.

3. Camera

Main and Secondary Lenses

The Nothing Phone (4a) takes a strong lead with its versatile triple camera setup, especially the 50MP periscope telephoto lens offering 3.5x optical zoom. This adds real flexibility for portraits and distant shots. The Nord 6 sticks to a simpler dual-camera setup, delivering solid primary shots with OIS but lacking zoom versatility. While image quality is reliable, it feels less ambitious.

Selfie Camera

Both devices feature 32MP front cameras, but the Nord 6 edges ahead with 4K selfie video support, making it more appealing for content creators. The Nothing Phone (4a) limits selfie video to 1080p, which feels slightly outdated at this level.

Verdict

The Nothing Phone (4a) wins for rear camera versatility, especially with zoom. The Nord 6 is better for video-focused users and consistent primary camera output.

4. Pricing

The OnePlus Nord 6 is priced around $460 (₹39,000), while the Nothing Phone (4a) comes in at about $450 (₹32,000). The price gap is noticeable, especially in markets like India, where the Nothing Phone (4a) undercuts the Nord 6 by a significant margin.

Is the Price Justified?

The Nord 6 justifies its higher price with flagship-level performance, a massive battery, and stronger durability. It feels like a long-term investment for power users. Meanwhile, the Nothing Phone (4a) delivers excellent value by offering a unique design, versatile cameras, and a clean software experience at a lower cost. It sacrifices performance but maintains a strong overall package.

Verdict

The Nothing Phone (4a) is the better value pick for most users, while the Nord 6 is worth the premium for those who prioritize power and endurance.

Disclaimer:
Prices are approximate and may vary based on country, region, and applicable taxes.

5. Conclusion

OnePlus Nord 6 stands out with its extreme battery capacity, flagship chipset, and superior durability rating, making it ideal for heavy users and gamers. On the other hand, the Nothing Phone (4a) shines with its Glyph interface, periscope zoom camera, and clean Nothing OS experience, offering a refreshing alternative in a crowded market.

Final Verdict

Choose the Nothing Phone (4a) as it offers better overall value with a more versatile camera, clean software experience, and a significantly lower price, while still delivering smooth everyday performance; the OnePlus Nord 6 is only the better pick if you specifically need flagship-level power and extremely long battery life.

Oppo has shared another early look at its upcoming Pad Mini. The teaser comes from Qiao Jiadong, Director of Smart Ecosystem Products at Oppo, and it mostly highlights the front design.

From what’s shown, the tablet uses a center punch-hole display placed along the shorter edge, with fairly even bezels on all sides. It gives the device a clean, symmetrical look, and it seems like Oppo is encouraging vertical use for things like reading or browsing. The bezels are quite slim as well.

A previous report points to an 8.8-inch OLED display with a resolution of 2880 × 1920 and a 3:2 aspect ratio. It’s also said to support a 144Hz adaptive refresh rate using LTPO tech, along with peak brightness of around 1800 nits and full DCI-P3 coverage. On paper, that should translate to smooth scrolling and decent visibility outdoors.

As for performance, the Pad Mini is expected to run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, which should be more than enough for most games. The body itself looks slim, reportedly around 5.39mm thick and weighing about 279g, with a metal finish. Color options are said to include dark gray, purple, and cyan.

There’s also a single 13MP rear camera on the back, housed in a capsule-style module. Battery capacity is tipped at 8000mAh, with 67W fast charging, and there’s mention of eSIM support as well, which could make it more usable on the go.

The Pad Mini is expected to be part of Oppo’s upcoming launch event later this month, alongside products like the Watch X3 Mini, Enco Clip 2, and the Find X9 Ultra.

The overall direction is fairly clear: a compact tablet with a focus on display quality and performance. More details should be confirmed at launch.

iQOO appears to be working on a new performance-focused flagship, as a new leak hints at another model in the iQOO 15 series. While the current lineup includes the iQOO 15 and 15 Ultra, the brand may introduce a new variant aimed at bringing gaming-centric features to a wider audience.

iQOO 15T moniker and expected launch timeframe

iQOO 15T could in works

A Weibo post by tipster Digital Chat Station suggests that the new device could be called the iQOO 15T. It is expected to borrow certain high-end features from the Ultra model, including a built-in cooling fan.

This move indicates that iQOO may be looking to bring advanced thermal management to more accessible devices. In terms of timeline, the iQOO 15T is likely to launch before the iQOO 16, which is expected to debut in China around October. This places the possible arrival of the 15T somewhere in mid-2026.

Apart from the iQOO 15T, the brand is also said to be working on the Neo 11 and Neo 11 Pro. These devices are expected to feature a 6.83-inch 2K OLED display and could be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite and Dimensity 9500 chipsets, respectively. They may pack batteries of up to 8,000mAh and include a metal middle frame along with an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor, suggesting a focus on both performance and build quality.

Xiaomi 18 Pro rumored to feature SmartSens 200MP sensor with improved HDR

A fresh leak out of China suggests Xiaomi could switch from Omnivision camera sensors to SmartSens in the upcoming Xiaomi 18 series.

According to information shared by Digital Chat Station on Weibo, a top-five smartphone brand is planning to use a SmartSens sensor in its next flagship lineup. While the tipster didn’t name the company outright, it’s widely speculated to be the Xiaomi 18 series.

Xiaomi 18 Pro could feature 200MP SmartSens sensors

The leak suggests the lineup could feature dual 200-megapixel main cameras with a 1/1.28-inch sensor size. On higher-end models, these sensors are expected to support LOFIC HDR 3.0, which is a hardware-level sensor technology that improves dynamic range.

LOFIC — short for lateral overflow integration capacitor — combines linear and logarithmic charge storage within a single pixel. This should result in more balanced images, especially in high-contrast environments like sunsets or backlit scenes.

Xiaomi has been gradually exploring alternatives to Sony sensors. The company switched from Sony to Omnivision on Xiaomi 17 Pro series, and earlier reports suggest the company is testing other domestic imaging solutions too. So this move wouldn’t be entirely surprising if Xiaomi does so. 

The Xiaomi 18 Pro models are also said to pair the SmartSens 200MP sensor with experimental modular optics. That could include magnetic, snap-on lenses, which might allow users to attach accessories like telephoto converters directly to the phone.

On the performance side, the devices are expected to run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chip, paired with up to 16GB of RAM, and a battery reportedly reaching 7,000mAh.

None of this is confirmed yet, and of course, Xiaomi hasn’t commented publicly. But the company has hinted it may keep the rear display introduced on the Xiaomi 17 Pro for the Xiaomi 18 Pro.
