Xiaomi released the Pad 6 in April last year with the Snapdragon 870 chipset. However, a recent leak claims that the upcoming Xiaomi Pad is going to be far more capable, and will be powered by the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. According to a previous report, the tablet is expected to launch in September.
Xiaomi Pad Pro
The chipset information comes from Weibo tipster 智慧皮卡丘. The tipster suggests that the tablet should launch with the Xiaomi 15 series. he also adds that the Xiaomi Pad 7 series could primarily offer two different versions, likely the Xiaomi Pad 7 and Pad 7 Pro. The company also had a similar strategy with its predecessor, where the Pad 6 Max 14 and the Pad 6S Pro were launched later.
He also hinted that the Pad 7 series will come equipped with large displays. The product will be optimized for car scenes, and adopt a metal body. In terms of design, the Xiaomi Pad 7 series may continue the classic design language of its predecessors. Pad 7 will reportedly retain the square camera island design with the lines separating the camera modules. However, this is also one of the few parameters that makes the lineup stand out from the rest.
The Xiaomi Pad 7 series is expected to come equipped with HyperOS and establish seamless connectivity between the tablet and other devices with HyperOS.
The company has already completed the certification process for two devices in the Eurasian Economic Union (EEC), model numbers “24091RPADG” and “2410CRP4CG”. According to reports, these two devices should be the Xiaomi Pad 7 and Pad 7 Pro.
Huawei is set to challenge the foldable phone market yet again, with rumors swirling about the imminent release of the world’s first triple-folding phone. According to tipsterFixed Focus Digitalin a Weibo post today, the device is expected to launch within two months.
The source also notes that this upcoming foldable will be expensive and manufactured in limited quantities. However, the leak suggests that Huawei’s tri-fold device might be more of a “show muscle” rather than achieving immediate market dominance.
New and innovative products often come with a hefty price tag, but the expectation is that as the technology matures and production scales up, the price will naturally come down.
The source further speculates that this tri-folding phone might eventually replace both the iPad and current foldable phones in the market. Whether this ambition translates into reality remains to be seen.
There’s not much the tipster revealed of the phone’s specs, but a report earlier this month suggests a total screen size of around 10 inches. The phone’s design is rumored to incorporate a unique dual-hinge system, creating three separate screen sections.
One section is said to fold inwards on both sides, while the other folds outwards. The report also suggests that crease control, a persistent issue with foldable displays, might be well improved on this device.
Huawei tri-fold patent
Beyond this, we don’t know much about the features of the upcoming tri-fold device. However, Huawei’s pursuit of a triple-folding phone has been a long one. They started filing patents for this technology back in 2021, with more filings in 2022. Another patent filed in February 2023 shows a triple-folding phone with two hinges and a flexible screen that folds outwards — like the one we mentioned before.
Apple plans to use advanced 3D chip stacking technology in its upcoming MacBook series which is scheduled to be launched in 2025, which is said to be a breakthrough in chip packaging technology. The new packaging technology is capable of stacking multiple chips vertically making it more compact.
The industry is transitioning to glass substrates for chip packaging
However, the industry is transitioning to glass substrates to replace existing 2.5D and 3D packaging technologies. Giants like AMD, Intel, and Samsung have attracted much attention in the field of chip glass substrate supply. Samsung is actively investing resources in the research and development of glass substrates in chip manufacturing. The company reportedly has plans to use the technology in its products by 2026.
However, it is worth noting that TSMC is not absent in this field. Industry analysts have noticed signs that the company is developing similar solutions. The company is exploring new paths in the field of advanced chip packaging in an innovative way – turning to rectangular chip substrates.
According to a report, TSMC plans to switch from traditional round wafers to rectangular substrates. This move aims to improve the efficiency of the chip layout on each wafer, which significantly increases the number of chips that can be placed. Currently, this rectangular substrate is in the trial stage, with a size of 510 mm x 515 mm. It reportedly offers more than three times the usable area of traditional round wafers. Also, the rectangular design significantly reduces the waste of edge space, further improving material utilization.
First up today, the CMF Phone 1 is packing a secret superpower that’s straight out of a spy movie. Its depth sensor can see through thin objects! But don’t get too excited – this accidental X-ray vision is about to disappear faster than you can say “privacy concerns.” We’ll dive into the details and why Nothing is pulling the plug on this unexpected feature.
Meanwhile, Google’s caught in a game of “who wore it better” with their upcoming Photos feature. Is it innovation or imitation? We’ve got the scoop on the controversy that’s got a plucky startup crying foul.
And for all you Nokia fans feeling nostalgic, HMD’s got a treat in store. They’re bringing back the Lumia look, and we’ve got the leaked renders to prove it. Is this the comeback Nokia needs to reclaim its throne?
More details on the above stories are in today’s newsletter below.
The CMF Phone 1, lauded for being a quirky and budget-friendly Android option, has a surprising party trick – its depth sensor can see through objects. It’s an unexpected feature that users cannot access via the default camera app, they rather need a third-party app. However, due to privacy concerns, Nothing has confirmed they will disable this feature via a software update.
Back in January, there was a report thatuncovered hints of a new feature in development for Google Photos called “My Week”. Recently, the publication was also able to enable it through an APK teardown, which shows the feature to be strikingly similar to the core functionality of the photo-sharing app Retro.
HMD Global has been rumored to be working on a phone inspired by the classic Nokia Lumia 920. Now, a listing from a Belgian retailer appears to have given us the clearest look yet at this device called the HMD Skyline.
Four companies have scheduled smartphone launches for next week. Out of these, three of them will take place in India, while the last one is meant for all markets.
The three brands that will debut phones in India are iQOO, Samsung, and Honor. The handsets they will announce are already official in other markets or under a different name.
Honor has just launched the Magic V3 and Magic Vs 3 book-style foldables in China. The company launched the Honor Magic 6 in January this year. Nonetheless, the Honor Magic 7 series has already entered the rumor mill. The series is rumored to come with a “billion-pixel camera” (which is 1000MP). The news comes from Weibo tipster 智慧皮卡丘.
The tipster also adds that the series will also equip a variable aperture technology and the company’s self-developed imaging architecture. In terms of battery life, it is expected to be equipped with a large-capacity battery of about 6000mAh.
To get an idea of the development, we can refer to the camera system of the predecessor, which also offered a reasonably good imaging performance. The Magic 6 Pro also offers f/1.4-2.0 variable aperture for the main camera. Both the Magic 6 and Magic 6 Pro come with 50 MP 1/1.3″ main sensors. The OmniVision sensor used in the main camera is said to have the highest dynamic range in the industry, which helps it adapt to shooting environments with adverse brightness and contrast conditions. The sensor supports ultra-dynamic HDR shooting, which can increase the dynamic range by 800%.
However, the telephoto between the two are different. While both the regular and the Pro versions come with a 2.5x telephoto, the phone model equips a periscope module and also boasts a 180MP high-resolution sensor as compared to the 32MP one of the standard models. Notably, the 1/1.49″ telephoto sensor of the pro model supports 16-in-1 pixel binning to simulate 2.24μm large pixels. The periscope module has an aperture of f/2.6. With all this, the Magic 6 Pro offers up to 100 digital zoom. In contrast, the Magic 6 offers 50x digital zoom.
Both the phones equip the same 50MP sensor for the ultrawide camera with a field of view of 122°.
Xiaomi has unveiled an update to its Mijia Pocket Photo Printer, the 1S, which brings a handful of new features focused on personalization and augmented reality (AR) experiences.
The Mijia Pocket Photo Printer 1S launched today on JD.com and other Chinese platforms for a pre-sale price of 399 yuan (roughly USD 53), with wider availability starting July 19th.
The core functionality remains the same: a portable printer for creating physical photos from your smartphone. However, the 1S has a wide range of customization options through the Mi Home app. Users can now choose from various built-in border styles for their prints, add custom avatars, and even include signature watermarks.
The printer also has eight different filters, allowing users to adjust the overall look and feel of their photos before printing. Notably, the 1S ditches Wi-Fi dependence entirely, opting for Bluetooth connectivity. This enables multiple users to connect to the printer simultaneously for a more social printing experience.
Beyond static prints, the 1S embraces augmented reality (AR) to add a new layer to photo memories. The “AR video photo” function lets users associate videos or audio clips with their photos within the Mi Home app.
When you scan the photo within the app, these photos come alive, allowing users to relive moments with a burst of sight and sound. Videos can be up to 15 seconds long, while audio recordings can stretch to 60 seconds.
The Mijia Pocket Photo Printer 1S utilizes ZINK zero-ink printing technology. This means the printer relies on special ZINK photo paper that has color crystals embedded within.
The printer heats these crystals to form the image, eliminating the need for messy ink cartridges. While the printer itself is relatively affordable, refills come at a premium. The price for a 50-sheet pack of ZINK paper is 99 yuan (roughly USD 15), translating to a per-sheet cost of around 2 yuan (USD 0.30).

Robot Vacuum Cleaners are evolving faster than you might think, so it is important to choose one that suits you the best because they have to be in your household for a longer period of time. And this time we have a new one from YEEDI, the C12 Pro Plus. There are also C12 and C12 Plus in the series, and the C12 Pro Plus is the premium one. This one has two major upgrades, which are the Sophisticated Vibrative Mop and Auto-Empty Omni Station. If your floor often gets really dirty or has hairs everywhere, and you want to get an affordable robot vacuum, then this review will help you a lot.
Yeedi C12 Pro+ full review video:
Design
When we received the robot vacuum, I was still surprised by how small the box was. I mean the box tells that the machine will be mighty as well, and it can help you clean the house while still requiring less space at your home.
So about the design, there isn’t much difference on the top of the robot, when compared to the last one from YEEDI. But at the bottom, you can see the mop has been upgraded, basically it is vibrative and it mops back and forth, so it will have better cleaning capability, let’s talk about that next.
And for the station, it has been renewed as you can see. There is a transparent dustbin built in, the purpose of it is to collect and filter the trash from the robot, then potentially store them for 7 weeks without you doing anything. Now you have an extra minute to enjoy your favorite movie at weekends.
Highlights
Since we have just reviewed one robot vacuum from YEEDI two months ago, and the new one shares some of the same features, so in this review, we will mainly focus on the special features it has.
First up, let’s talk about the mop. Instead of just putting the mop against the floor with some downward pressure, the mop is built by a so-called OZMO Mega Mopping System. So basically there are three major highlights. First of all, the mop is big, it is not like the ones on the market that are just two rounded pieces, which always leave a gap in between, this one is one complete mop, so it covers the entire route the robot goes. Secondly, the mop vibrates. the dirt would come off the ground after being whipped, and the best thing is that the vibration is on the entire mop, sure it helps with the clean a lot. Lastly, the mop moves back and forth, which means every area can be cleaned multiple times, and the built-in water tank will keep rinsing the mop, to make sure the mop works fine. So it’s safe to say that, this is the first time that we see triple functions packed on a mop, and in the real-world test, it does the cleaning more thoroughly.
Now the station is another highlight, because it processes the dirt and debris in a whole new way. Before this, you know the station collects the dirt from the robot, and then stores it in the dust bag, there isn’t any filtration involved and you need to change the dust bag every now and then. Some may experience allergies, and it adds more cost when buying dust bags. With this C12 Pro Plus, it pretty much handles everything for you. As you can see, when the robot comes back to the station, it will start the dust collection right away. And through the transparent shell, you can have a clear visual of the Cyclone filtration system, quite unique, isn’t it? The final result is also satisfying, all the dirt is collected from the robot to the station very quickly.
There are 4 filters built into the system, 3 major benefits of this part are that, you can see how much dirt there is, if you are a so-called neat freak, then you can clean it whenever you see fit; two the filters make sure that no dirt or smell is going out of the station, since the air is also filtered; lastly, you can take the dustbin out, empty it, then rinse it with water, for the next use. It makes your station clean, and saves you a lot of money.
Of course, some other unique features are also on the vacuum and mop, such as the 8000Pa suction power, 2-in-1 vacuum and mop, also the Zero-tangle system. So 8000Pa suction power is an industry-leading performance right now, when it’s doing the job, it can pretty much wipe out small debris, coffee, and powder very efficiently. If you want the robot to do some light cleaning, there is also other three levels of suction power to choose from.
And since the mop vibrates and does it back and forth, it can also tackle some stubborn dirt nicely. The suction power also works really well on a carpet, as you can see, when it’s finished vacuuming the carpet, it still collects some dust, which is something you need from a good vacuum cleaner. Lastly, in our last YEEDI review video, the Zero Tangle performance was really impressive, as good as it is, let’s briefly show how it works here again. Also impressive, isn’t it?
Verdict
Alright, this is the review of the YEEDI C12 Pro Plus robot vacuum review, hope it helps. And we must say that YEEDI is doing a great job offering unique yet affordable models. This one is in the $300 range, there aren’t any core functions left over, and you can also check out the other two models in the series, since they share some of the features together. I would say this series is a really good choice for those of you who want such machine but don’t want to spend big money on it.

I had the opportunity to use the Oppo Reno 12 5G, a standout contender in the smartphone market in the Rs 30,000 to Rs 35,000 range in the Indian market, a couple of days before its official announcement in India. Readers should note that the Reno 12 available in India and other markets is significantly different from the Chinese market. You can read this post to know the differences. From its sleek design to its powerful camera capabilities and advanced AI features, here’s a closer look at what the Reno 12 5G offers to users.
The first thing that struck me about the Reno 12 5G is its sleek and sophisticated design. Available in Astro Silver, Sunset Peach, and Matte Brown, each variant offers a distinct aesthetic appeal. My review unit is the Sunset Peach variant, which features a unique graphic liquid crystal process, combining soft peach tones with cloud patterns for a refreshing, retro look. The phone feels incredibly well-built, with a Fluid Ripple Texture on the glass back adding both style and grip.
Despite its robust construction, the Reno 12 maintains a slim profile at just 7.6mm thickness and weighs a comfortable 177g. When it comes to durability, the Reno 12 offers Corning Gorilla Glass 7i protection on the front protecting the curved-edge screen, an IP65 rating for dust and water resistance, and a high-strength alloy framework that according to Oppo is comparable to metal.
In India, the retail package of the Reno 12 includes a charger and case. These items are unavailable in the retail box of the Reno 12 available in Europe.
The Reno 12 has a stunning 6.7-inch curved-edge AMOLED panel that offers an FHD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and up to 1200 nits of peak brightness. Whether I was streaming videos, gaming, or browsing photos, the AMOLED display with HDR10+ support delivered rich contrasts and deep blacks.
A notable addition to the Reno 12 series is dual speakers, absent in previous non-Pro Reno models. These speakers provide evenly balanced audio, making the device ideal for multimedia activities such as watching movies and playing games. Reno 12 has the Holo Audio support, which is Oppo’s audio spatialization technology designed to provide seamless audio experiences with headphones or earphones. It ensures that different audio sources, such as music, navigation directions, and calls, remain distinct and unobtrusive, allowing users to multitask without interruptions.
3. Performance and Software
Oppo Reno 12 5G’s performance on AnTuTu, Geekbench, CPU Throttle
Powered by the all-new MediaTek Dimensity 7300-Energy platform, the Reno 12 offers decent performance without any lag. The 4nm chip, coupled with 8 GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage, ensured smooth multitasking and rapid app launches. ColorOS 14.1, based on Android 14, as usual, offers a stutter-free experience. However, like the previous Reno models, the Reno 12 comes with plenty of preloaded apps, which many may not like. The device is promised to receive updates.
The 5,000mAh battery, supported by Oppo’s 80W SuperVOOC charge, impressed me with its rapid charging capabilities. The battery can go from 0 to 100 percent in around 45 minutes. To recall, the Reno 11 has the same-sized battery with 67W charging support. The above images showcase the performance of Reno 12 on benchmarking platforms.
4. Camera capabilities
Oppo Reno 12 5G
The Oppo Reno 12 has a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-600 main camera with OIS support. It is joined by an 8-megapixel IMX355 ultrawide camera and a 2-megapixel macro camera. Unfortunately, the macro camera replaces the 32-megapixel IMX709 telephoto with 2x optical zoom, which was seen on the Reno 11.
While the Reno 12 can capture portrait shots with up to 2x zoom using the primary camera, having a dedicated lens would have always been appreciated. For selfies, the device is equipped with an autofocus-enabled 32-megapixel GalaxyCore GC32E2 sensor. In the Photo mode, it offers 0.8x, 1x, and 2x zoom options, and 0.8x and 1x options in the Portrait mode. It can produce natural-looking selfies with enhanced facial details and skin tones, perfect for social media enthusiasts. However, the quality diminishes in low-light and indoor environments.
The 50-megapixel main camera delivered impressive clarity and colour accuracy, especially in well-lit conditions. The AI-enhanced Flash Snapshot feature adjusts shutter speed based on lighting conditions, resulting in sharp and vibrant photos even in challenging environments. The 8-megapixel ultrawide camera shots are consistent with the primary camera.
The front and the rear cameras support up to 4K 30fps video shooting. On the front, it offers EIS support for up HD and FHD videos, whereas there is OIS support for 60fps Full HD videos. The latter does not allow to modify or zoom into the subject. The 30fps 4K videos only allow the application of filters and nothing else. The front camera as well as the rear-facing primary camera allow users can adjust the aperture to add background blur effect in 30fps HD videos.
Oppo’s GenAI features on the Reno 12 elevate the user experience to new heights. The AI Eraser 2.0 was particularly handy for removing unwanted objects from photos with remarkable accuracy. AI Clear Face and AI Best Face enhanced group photos by improving facial details and correcting closed-eye expressions, ensuring every shot was picture-perfect. AI Studio, a dedicated app from Oppo, leverages Generative AI technology to transform your photos into unique digital avatars.
AI LinkBoost ensures seamless connectivity even in challenging network conditions, reducing the possibility of dropped calls. BeaconLink takes it a step further, enabling device-to-device voice calls over Bluetooth when there’s no mobile signal. This works well, but users have to be in the Bluetooth range of up to 30 metres.
The AI Recording Summary is a productivity powerhouse, distilling lengthy meetings into concise notes and to-do lists. The AI Toolbox is equally handy, offering AI Summary for quick article comprehension, AI Writer for crafting engaging social media posts, and AI Speak for hands-free reading. These AI Toolbox features are available via the sidebar. Finally, AI Clear Voice ensures crystal-clear calls by filtering out background noise.
Other additions
Gone is the portrait camera on the Reno 12, but the device brings several features that were available on the Reno 11. These include dual speakers, a microSD card slot, UFS 3.1 storage (Reno 11 has UFS 2.2), and an IR blaster.
6. Verdict
The Oppo Reno 12 faces stiff competition in its price range, with many other options offering impressive specifications. However, what sets the Reno 12 apart is its wide range of AI-driven features that are unavailable on other smartphones. Additionally, the Reno 12 boasts a sleek and improved build, featuring an attractive design with a vibrant screen. Its decent photography capabilities, fast charging capabilities, and new additions like dual speakers, UFS 3.1 storage, a microSD card slot, BeaconLink, and an IR blaster further enhance the device’s versatility. Overall, the Oppo Reno 12 is a well-rounded smartphone that combines strong performance, appealing design, and innovative features.

Realme has been keeping fans on their toes with teasers about the upcoming Realme 13 Pro series. While the company itself has remained tight-lipped on the launch date, a recent publication snafu may have accidentally spilled the beans.
GSMArena published an article that revealed the launch date of the smartphones, but it appears the publication went live prematurely. While the article now redirects to a different story, we were quick to capture the details from the initial post, including a launch date poster.
Based on the poster, the Realme 13 Pro and 13 Pro+ will be officially launched during an event scheduled for July 30th at 14:30 UTC+8.
Realme has officially confirmed some details regarding the phones’ aesthetics. Both models will be available in three color options: Emerald Green (vegan leather), Monet Gold (glass back), and Monet Purple (glass back).
Likewise, leaks suggest that potential buyers will have a choice of four configurations for each phone: 8GB RAM with 128GB storage, 8GB RAM with 256GB storage, 12GB RAM with 256GB storage, and 12GB RAM with 512GB storage. Aside from these options, most other specifications remain under wraps.
TENAA certification hints at some features of the Realme 13 Pro+. The phone is expected to sport a 6.7-inch curved AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution and an in-screen fingerprint sensor. The processor might be either the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 or 7s Gen 3, paired with up to a whopping 16GB of RAM and a staggering 1TB of storage.
Realme 13 Pro+ TENAA
A 5,050mAh battery (likely offering a typical capacity of around 5,150mAh or 5,200mAh) is believed to power the Realme 13 Pro+. The phone will likely run Realme UI 5 based on Android 14.
On the imaging front, a 32-megapixel front camera is anticipated. The rear camera system is rumored to boast a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-701 primary sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS), an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens, and a 50-megapixel LYT-600 periscope telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. AI-powered photography features are also expected to be part of the package.
With the official launch date seemingly revealed, hopefully, Realme will be officially confirming more details about the Realme 13 Pro series soon.
