Alongside its new stylus phone, Motorola has also introduced the Moto Pad 2026, an 11-inch tablet aimed at everyday productivity and media use. It doesn’t try to do anything too ambitious, but it covers the basics fairly well.
The tablet features an 11-inch display with a 2.5K resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. It should be sharp enough for reading and streaming, while the higher refresh rate helps keep things smooth during general use. There’s also a quad-speaker setup tuned for Dolby Audio, which should make it a decent option for watching content.
Under the hood, it runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 6300, a 5G chipset more commonly seen in mid-range phones. It’s not designed for heavy workloads, but it should handle everyday tasks like reading, streaming, and light multitasking fairly well.
One of the more notable additions is Smart Connect, which allows the tablet to work more closely with Motorola phones and other compatible devices. You can move content between screens or continue tasks across devices, which can be useful if you’re already in that ecosystem. The tablet is backed by a 7040mAh battery with 20W charging, which should be enough for a full day of typical use.
Pricing and availability:
Pricing starts at $249.99, keeping it firmly in the affordable category. The Moto Pad 2026 will be available in the United States starting April 30 through T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile. It will also be sold directly via Motorola’s official website at the same MSRP.
Overall, it feels like a fairly straightforward tablet, not particularly flashy, but practical enough for users who want a larger screen for work or entertainment without spending too much.
Motorola has introduced the Moto G Stylus (2026), continuing its push to make stylus-equipped phones more accessible in the mid-range segment. The idea here is fairly straightforward: give users a practical tool for writing, sketching, and quick input, without pushing into flagship pricing.
As expected, the built-in “active stylus” is the main highlight. It supports pressure and tilt, so it’s not just for basic taps or navigation. Motorola is also leaning into software. You can sketch inside the Notes app and turn drawings into AI-generated images, or write out math problems and have them recognized and solved. It’s not something everyone will use daily, but it does add some real utility.
On the front, the phone features a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 1.5K resolution. Peak brightness is rated at 5000 nits, which sounds impressive, though real-world visibility will depend on how it behaves outside controlled conditions.
It’s built around the same 4nm Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 5G chipset as last year’s Moto G Stylus, but Motorola claims a roughly 10% performance boost, likely due to faster memory and storage: UFS 3.1 (up from 2.2) and LPDDR5X (up from LPDDR4X).
Camera setup includes a 50MP Sony LYTIA 700C (1/1.56-inch) main sensor, paired with a 13MP ultrawide that also handles macro shots, along with a 32MP front camera. You get 4K video recording across all cameras, plus some AI-based image processing and hybrid zoom.
The device is rated IP68 and IP69 for dust and water resistance, which is still relatively uncommon at this price point. It packs a 5200mAh battery with 68W wired charging and 15W wireless charging, and runs Android 16 out of the box.
Pricing and availability:
Starting at $499.99, the Moto G Stylus (2026) sits in the upper mid-range segment and will go on sale in the US starting April 16.
SanDisk has launched a rather expensive 2TB Extreme Pro UHS-II SD card for professionals and the like. And that is reflected directly in its price.
The new card from SanDisk is priced at $1,999.99. According to a report from Tom’s Hardware, that’s more than four times the cost of SanDisk’s own 2TB UHS-I card, which sells for under $500.
SanDisk 2TB Extreme Pro UHS-II SD card Specifications
What you’re paying for here is speed and reliability. The card supports sequential read speeds of up to 310MB/s and write speeds of up to 305MB/s, which makes it a UHS-II tier card. It’s designed for workloads like 8K video recording and high-resolution burst photography, where sustained performance matters more than raw capacity alone.
There’s also a durability angle. SanDisk says the card comes with an IP68 rating, meaning it can handle dust, water exposure, and even drops from up to six meters.
Still, the pricing stands out even within SanDisk’s own lineup. At roughly $1 per gigabyte, the 2TB UHS-II card matches the cost-per-GB of the 512GB version but remains significantly more expensive than UHS-I alternatives, which can dip as low as $0.21 per gigabyte. Even SanDisk’s newer microSD Express cards are far cheaper on a per-GB basis.
Below is a breakdown of SanDisk cards on a price/GB basis (via Tom’s Hardware):
In other words, this isn’t meant to be a mainstream upgrade. It’s a niche product for people who need both capacity and speed in a single, portable format, and are willing to pay a premium to avoid compromises.

Sony might be planning a big design refresh for its next Xperia flagship. Fresh images of the Sony Xperia 1 VIII (via Insider Sony) reveal a design that doesn’t quite follow the company’s recent playbook.
The phone is noticeably different from earlier Xperia models, which have typically stuck to a tall, minimalist look with subtle changes year over year.
What stands out here is the camera layout. It feels familiar, not to Sony users, but to those who remember the OnePlus 10 Pro. Of course, the resemblance isn’t one-on-one, but the overall arrangement and styling do give an old OnePlus vibe.
Up front, things are more in line with Sony’s usual approach. The renders show a flat display with relatively standard bezels, rather than the ultra-thin borders seen on many competing flagships.
The front-facing camera sits within the top bezel instead of a punch-hole or notch. And in classic Sony fashion, there are also visible stereo speakers on the front.
Sony Xperia 1 VIII could bring notable camera upgrades
Beyond the design, early rumors also suggest some changes in the camera system. The Xperia 1 VIII is expected to feature a triple-camera setup built around 48-megapixel sensors. While the ultrawide camera may remain unchanged from the previous generation, the main and telephoto cameras could see more meaningful updates.
Specifically, leaks suggest a larger primary sensor, which typically helps with low-light performance and overall image quality. There’s also talk of a new telephoto sensor, possibly falling somewhere between 1/3-inch and 1/2-inch in size.
That said, it’s still just a rumor at this point. Sony has not confirmed anything yet, and details like the final design, hardware, and feature set could change before launch.
The foldable space could be getting a bit more crowded, and maybe more interesting, if the latest leaks are anything to go by. There’s fresh chatter around Apple’s first foldable, and more specifically, what it might be called.
According to Weibo tipster @DigitalChatStation, Apple’s upcoming wide-format foldable may actually launch as the iPhone Ultra. That’s not confirmed, of course, but the name alone is enough to get other brands thinking. The same leak suggests that some Chinese manufacturers are already considering using “Ultra” branding for their own wide foldable devices.
No specific brands were named, but that hasn’t stopped the speculation. Names like a possible “Huawei Pura Ultra 2” or “Xiaomi MIX Fold Ultra” have already started floating around online. Unofficial, obviously, but not entirely unrealistic given how naming trends usually evolve.
The mention of a “wide foldable” is also interesting. It lines up with earlier reports about Huawei working on a new model, possibly called the Pura X2. That device is said to feature a 7.69-inch WQHD+ inner display with a wider aspect ratio, along with a 5.5-inch outer screen. The goal seems to be better usability both when folded and unfolded. There’s also talk of a newer Kirin 9030-series chip and an upgraded telephoto camera, though details are still a bit thin.
As for Apple, its foldable iPhone is still expected sometime in the second half of 2026. A lot of the interest around it isn’t just about hardware; it’s also about how Apple might approach software and durability. If the “Ultra” branding does stick, it would clearly place the device at the very top of Apple’s lineup, both in terms of features and pricing.
At this point, the direction is becoming clearer: foldables are moving further into the premium space, and “Ultra” might just be the next label everyone wants to use.
If you have been in the loop, you might know smartphones are quietly getting more expensive.

Infinix is getting ready to launch the Note 60 Pro in India. The phone first showed up globally back in February 2026, and the India version looks set to follow pretty closely, with a few localized touches and launch offers.
The Infinix Note 60 Pro is scheduled to go official on April 13 at 12 PM IST, with pre-orders opening a few days earlier on April 8. It’ll be available in Deep Ocean Blue, Mocha Brown, and Solar Orange, which, at least from the renders, look fairly distinct.
One of the more unusual bits here is the back. Infinix is using what it calls an active matrix display. It’s essentially a hidden LED panel that lights up for notifications, battery status, and a few custom animations. It stays invisible otherwise, so the back doesn’t look busy all the time. The idea is somewhat similar to what Nothing has been doing, just executed differently.
Under the hood, the phone runs on the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4, built on a 4nm process. It’s paired with up to 12GB LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB UFS 2.2 storage. Nothing too surprising here, but it should be more than enough for everyday use and some gaming on the side.
On the front, there’s a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. Infinix is also claiming peak brightness of up to 4,500 nits, which sounds impressive on paper.
Camera setup is fairly standard for this category: a 50MP main sensor with OIS, an 8MP ultrawide, and a 13MP front camera. It does support 4K video recording on both sides, which is still a nice addition at this level.
Battery capacity is listed at 6,500mAh, with support for 90W wired and 30W wireless charging. The wireless charging support sets this mid-range apart from its competition. Other features include stereo speakers tuned by JBL, an IP64 rating, and Android 16 with XOS 16 on top.
For India, the hardware is expected to remain mostly unchanged, including the metal frame and Gorilla Glass 7i protection. Infinix is also expected to bundle in some launch offers.
All in all, the Note 60 Pro seems to be leaning heavily on its design and display, while still covering the basics on performance and battery.
Living rat neurons successfully trained to perform real-time AI computations
Structured neuron networks improved learning and reduced synchronization
Technology shows strong potential for brain-machine interfaces and bio-AI systems
AI – generated image for representation only
Research Overview
Researchers developed a novel bio-AI system where living rat cortical neurons were trained to perform real-time computational tasks. The study focuses on combining biological neural networks with machine learning techniques using a closed-loop reservoir computing approach. The goal is to explore whether living neurons can act as functional computing systems rather than just biological components.
System Design and Working
The system integrates living neurons with high-density microelectrode arrays and microfluidic devices. Neural signals are recorded, converted into continuous outputs, and fed back into the system as electrical stimulation in a loop of about 330 milliseconds. A real-time learning method continuously adjusts the output to match target signals, allowing the system to learn without external intervention.
Network Structuring Innovation
To improve performance, neurons were physically organized into 128 micropores connected through microchannels. This design prevented excessive synchronization, which is common in unstructured neural networks. As a result, neuron correlation dropped significantly from 0.45 to around 0.12, leading to more complex and efficient network behavior. The lattice network structure showed the best overall performance.
Capabilities and Results
The system successfully generated different waveform patterns such as sine, square, and triangular waves across multiple time intervals. It also demonstrated the ability to approximate complex chaotic systems like the Lorenz attractor. During training, the system maintained strong accuracy, achieving correlation levels above 0.8.
Limitations and Future Scope
Despite its capabilities, the system shows a performance decline after training stops, with increasing error during autonomous operation. A key limitation is the 330-millisecond feedback delay, which restricts the system’s ability to handle fast-changing signals. Future work aims to reduce latency using specialized hardware, with potential applications in brain-machine interfaces, neural prosthetics, and next-generation bio-hybrid AI systems.

Additional features include AI-powered picture enhancement, eye protection mode, children mode, and cross-device interaction, making it a well-rounded smart TV available in 55, 65, 75, and 85-inch variants.
Xiaomi has expanded its smart lighting lineup with a new series, the Mijia Ceiling Light Pro Ultra-Thin. As the name suggests, the focus here is on a slim, low-profile design that doesn’t visually crowd the ceiling, while still delivering strong brightness and more natural-looking light. There’s also a clear push toward “healthier” lighting this time, alongside the usual smart features.
The series comes in three variants, each aimed at a slightly different room size. L100 (Large Square) is the top-end model, meant for bigger living rooms (around 25-45㎡). It pushes up to 10,000 lumens at 150W, which is quite a lot for a ceiling light. Xiaomi claims an average illuminance of ≥300lx, along with a Ra98 color rendering index. The panel itself measures 1050 × 650mm and is just 29mm thick.
D60 (Large Round) sits somewhere in the middle, targeting spaces like smaller living rooms or larger bedrooms (15–25㎡). It’s rated at 75W and delivers up to 5,200 lumens. Diameter is 600mm, with a 24mm thickness.
D50 (Small Round) is designed for more compact rooms under 15㎡. It drops to 60W and 4,200 lumens. This one measures 500mm across and is also 24mm thick.
All three use a custom full-spectrum LED setup, and you can adjust the color temperature between 2700K and 5700K. They also carry an RG0 rating, meaning minimal blue light hazard.
The ultra-thin design is clearly a big part of the appeal. They’re meant to sit close to the ceiling and spread light more evenly, rather than acting as a bulky fixture in the center of the room. On the smart side, Xiaomi is bundling in its HyperOS smart connectivity system. That means the usual stuff, such as remote control, scheduling, and linking with other Xiaomi devices.
Pricing is fairly aggressive, especially once subsidies are factored in:
D50: 849 yuan (around 721 yuan after subsidy)
D60: 999 yuan (about 849 yuan after subsidy)
L100: 1759 yuan (roughly 1495 yuan after subsidy)
The emphasis here seems to be on comfortable, soft lighting rather than just raw brightness. The wide light surface and high CRI should help with things like reading or desk work, though real-world performance will depend on placement and room size.
The Mijia Ceiling Light Pro Ultra-Thin series is already listed and available for purchase on Xiaomi Youpin and other e-commerce platforms in the home country.

Tecno Android 16 (HiOS 16) update: New features and major upgrades
HiOS 16 focuses on smoother performance, visual changes, and much deeper AI integration through Ella and AIGC tools. It introduces a refreshed design language, “Superfluidity,” aimed at smoother animations, cleaner transitions, and a more cohesive visual experience. The UI has effects similar to Liquid Glass.
The Minus One screen is now more structured, allowing you to quickly access tools such as real-time translation and other smart services. You can access key actions and information without even opening individual apps.
AI has been a major focus in HiOS 16, now featuring a more powerful built-in “Ella” assistant with deeper system integration and better context understanding. It can help you manage daily routines, offer proactive suggestions, summarize YouTube videos, and integrate with WhatsApp to read and reply to messages.
The latest software offers AI-driven photo editing upgrades in the Gallery app, an intelligent calling assistant for real-time subtitles, call summaries, and noise cancellation.
HiOS 16 lets you transfer files with iPhones with just a single tap without requiring an internet connection. The software also introduces OneLeap for managing multiple devices. Furthermore, it brings App Flash Launch 2.0, Sensory Scheduling 3.0, and MemCompress to enhance the overall performance. There are also some gaming-related upgrades, such as Gaming Bypass Charging and a more precise touch control.
Backed by Jeff Bezos, Prometheus aims to build real-world industrial AI
Former xAI co-founder Kyle Kosic joins to lead infrastructure
Plans to raise billions and invest in AI-disrupted industries

A new and highly secretive AI startup, Project Prometheus, is quietly emerging as one of the most ambitious bets in the artificial intelligence race. Backed by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and co-led by former Google executive Vikram Bajaj, the company was founded in 2025 with a bold goal: to take AI beyond chatbots and into the physical world.
Unlike tools such as ChatGPT or Claude Code, Prometheus is focused on building systems that understand real-world environments. Its AI models are being designed to work in industries like aviation, engineering, and architecture, using domain-specific data such as jet engine design.
A major boost to the company comes from the hiring of Kyle Kosic, a co-founder of xAI. Kosic, who previously worked with Elon Musk and helped build the Colossus supercomputer, will now lead Prometheus’ AI infrastructure efforts.
The startup is also part of a growing “talent war” in AI, where top engineers are being aggressively recruited with massive offers. Notably, all 11 co-founders of xAI have now exited, highlighting rising tensions in the industry.
Prometheus is expanding fast, with offices in San Francisco, London, and Zurich, and hundreds of employees already hired. Its long-term plan includes raising tens of billions of dollars and building a Berkshire Hathaway-style investment model, acquiring stakes in companies, and using their data to train smarter AI.
Despite its rapid growth, Prometheus remains highly secretive, with no official public statements yet.
Fujifilm has introduced a new hybrid camera in India, expanding its X Series lineup with a model aimed at both photographers and video creators. The Fujifilm X-T30 III brings a familiar design but focuses heavily on improving video capabilities and intelligent shooting features.
Fujifilm X-T30 III key specs, features
Fujifilm X-T30Ⅲ – Silver
The Fujifilm X-T30 III combines a 26.1 megapixel X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor with the X-Processor 5, delivering faster image processing and improved dynamic range. This setup ensures consistent image quality for both still photography and video recording, making it suitable for a wide range of shooting scenarios.
On the video side, the camera supports 6.2K recording at 30fps with 10-bit color, along with 4K at 60fps and high-speed 1080p at 240fps. The open gate recording mode captures the full sensor area, allowing flexibility for cropping into different aspect ratios such as vertical or cinematic formats without losing clarity.
Fujifilm’s color science remains a key highlight, with a dedicated film simulation dial offering 20 presets. New additions like REALA ACE and NOSTALGIC Neg provide distinct looks, while custom slots allow users to save their own color profiles for quick access during shoots.
The camera also features AI-powered autofocus that can detect a variety of subjects including people, animals, birds, vehicles and even drones. Combined with digital stabilisation, it helps in maintaining sharp focus and smoother handheld footage during motion-heavy scenes.
Fujifilm X-T30 III price and availability
The Fujifilm X-T30 III is priced at Rs 102,999 for the body only, while the kit with a 13-33mm lens is available at Rs 119,999. It weighs around 378 grams and retains a compact form factor with a centre viewfinder and a tilting rear display suited for varied shooting angles.
With features that bridge still photography and advanced video, the X-T30 III is positioned for creators who want versatility without moving to larger systems. It also supports wireless connectivity with Instax Link printers for instant prints.
