Prolific tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS) took to Weibo to reveal there is a new “5nm” processor with frame interpolation technology is in development. Although the tipster did not mention the name of the SoC, it is likely the upcoming Kirin 9-series chip from Huawei, since it has long been rumored to be manufactured on a 5nm process.
Frame interpolation isn’t entirely a new concept; it’s already used in TVs and some smartphones to create smoother motion by adding extra frames between the original ones. The leak also mentions “buffer compensation,” likely referring to techniques that counteract the delay caused by interpolation.
If implemented, frame interpolation could offer several benefits. Gamers might experience a more fluid gameplay experience, especially in demanding titles that push the graphics hardware. Additionally, DCS suggests that this technology could reduce power consumption, leading to better battery life during long gaming sessions.
However, Huawei wouldn’t be the first smartphone manufacturer to implement frame interpolation tech, if the leak proves true. OnePlus 12, for instance, has a feature called HyperRendering, which is essentially a fancier name for frame interpolation. And it does the exact same thing — adds artificial frames between the original ones.
The new 5nm Kirin processor is expected to debut in the Huawei Mate 70 series. The line will also be the first to come with HarmonyOS NEXT software pre-installed.
According to earlier reports, the Mate 70 series will feature a 1.5K LTPO display, an Omnivision OV50K main camera with an ultra-large variable aperture, and a large battery possibly using silicon negative electrode technology for better efficiency. For added security, Huawei may include 3D face scanning.
Additional features may include 3D spatial zoom in the cameras and satellite communication support for emergencies. The Mate 70 series is expected to launch in the middle to late fourth quarter, potentially in December or later.
Russia is set to significantly reduce YouTube speeds on desktop computers in response to Google’s refusal to unblock channels affiliated with Russian media. The decision comes amid ongoing tensions between the two countries.
Senior Russian Lawmaker claims that YouTube speeds will drop by up to 70% next week
According to a senior Russian lawmaker, Alexander Khinshtein, the speed reduction is a direct consequence of Google‘s failure to upgrade its equipment in Russia and its refusal to comply with Russian content moderation demands. Khinshtein claims YouTube speeds will drop by up to 70% next week.
Russia’s communications regulator, Roskomnadzor, has also accused Google of neglecting its Russian infrastructure, allowing its local subsidiary to go bankrupt. This, in turn, has hindered the company’s ability to pay for local data center services.
Google’s decision to block channels associated with Russian state-funded media in March 2022, citing its policy on violent events, has further exacerbated tensions between the two countries. Russia has responded with various measures, including blocking and slowing down other social media platforms.
Despite these actions, many Russians continue to access blocked content through virtual private networks (VPNs).
With Google’s Pixel 9 launch event still three weeks away on August 13th, a video of one of the devices in the lineup, the Pixel 9 Pro XL, has already surfaced on YouTube.
The video gives us a good peek at the Pixel 9 Pro XL’s design, though it appears to be a non-functional prototype, according to Android Authority. It can be identified by the geometric design carved below the “G” logo on the back. Additionally, the YouTuber doesn’t power on the device, further suggesting it may not even boot into Android.
However, the video offers a good view of the device’s physical design. But the rest of the video mainly discusses already-known rumors. For instance, the Pixel 9 Pro XL has already been seen in hand and compared to current flagship models like the Pixel 8 Pro and the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
As for the rumored specifications, the Pixel 9 Pro XL is expected to feature Google’s next-generation Tensor G4 chipset. It may come with a 6.8-inch display boasting a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and a sharp QuadHD+ resolution. Leaks suggest it could start with a base configuration of 16GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.
On the camera front, the Pixel series has consistently delivered impressive image processing capabilities, and the Pixel 9 Pro XL is rumored to continue this trend. It may include a 50MP main sensor, a 48MP ultrawide lens, and a 48MP periscope telephoto lens for advanced zoom capabilities. Additionally, a 42MP front-facing camera is expected for selfies and video calls.
While this leak offers a look at the Pixel 9 Pro XL’s design, it’s important to note that these details are not confirmed by Google. We will have to wait until the official event on August 13th for a complete picture of the Pixel 9 series, including pricing and availability information.

TikTok’s Sound Search feature is another step by the company towards enhancing user experience and expanding the platform’s capabilities, making TikTok a popular alternative to other social media apps out right now.
Microsoft is advancing its integration of Windows and Android devices with a new feature in testing for Windows Insiders. It allows users to directly access their Android phone’s storage through the familiar File Explorer interface on Windows 11, offering a more seamless way to manage files.
Previously, integrating Android devices with Windows was primarily done through the “Your Phone” app, which had limited file management capabilities. This new feature promises a more streamlined experience, similar to managing local storage or external drives.
The feature is included in the latest Windows Insider builds, available across all channels—Dev, Beta, Release Preview, and the cutting-edge Canary channel. However, there are specific requirements for using this feature.
First, your Android phone must be run on Android 11 or later. Additionally, you need to be enrolled in the beta program for the “Link to Windows” app on your phone, with version 1.24071 or higher installed.
On the Windows side, your PC must be running Windows 11 and be part of the Windows Insider Program, enrolled in any of the four Insider channels.
If you meet these criteria, you can set up this feature through the Windows Settings menu. Go to “Bluetooth & devices > Mobile Devices,” and select the “Manage devices” option. From there, grant your PC access to your phone, which will unlock the “Access in File Explorer” toggle. If the toggle isn’t available, it means the feature hasn’t been rolled out to your device yet.
While this feature shows promise for improving Windows-Android integration, it remains to be seen whether it will be included in a stable release for all Windows 11 users. The Insider program often tests experimental features, which may be modified or discontinued before a wider release.
Overall, it’s another step from Microsoft to make a more unified experience for users who use Windows and Android. The final decision on whether this feature will be fully integrated into Windows 11 will depend on user feedback and testing outcomes during the Insider phase.
Ola Electric is readying the release of a new electric motorcycle from its stables. Ola’s CEO Bhavish Aggarwal has shown a teaser image of an upcoming Ola Electric e-motorcycle. This will be the brand’s first electric motorbike, as the company has a remarkable collection of e-scooters. The teaser image revealed the battery pack, electric motor, front sprocket, and final drive chain of the model. It is rumored that the new Ola Electric electric motorcycle official announcement could be made on August 15.
Barely a year ago, Ola Electric showcased four concept electric motorcycle models with futuristic designs. The social media post by Ola’s CEO is believed to be a pre-production model of one of the four bikes showcased by the company. The e-motorcycle, as per the teaser image, has a steel tubular frame that houses a compact battery pack. The electric motor sits below the battery pack while the drive chain has a feasible front sprocket. The image also reveals several control modules strategically located on the bike.
The teaser image also reveals a portion of the seat highlighting the presence of forward-set footpegs which confirms that the model is an e-motorcycle. The seat height is almost the same as the height of the battery pack, suggesting accessible saddle height for riders. The name and full specs of the teased Ola electric motorcycle are still under wraps. It is unlikely that the model will become a production model within this year. The August 15 announcement of Ola Electric’s upcoming product offerings could provide the needed optics for the e-motorcycle.
