Realme 16 5G’s India launch teased

The teaser released above shows the Realme 16 sporting a horizontal camera bar similar to Google Pixel phones and the iPhone Air. What sets it apart is the inclusion of a selfie mirror, which allows users to capture high-quality selfie shots using the rear cameras by relying on the mirror.

Realme hasn’t confirmed any details about the Realme 16’s specifications and features, but everything is already known through its Vietnam launch. This will be a new addition to the lineup, which already includes the Realme 16 Pro and 16 Pro+ handsets.

Realme 16 specifications

Starting from the front, the Realme 16 has a 6.57-inch AMOLED screen that offers an FHD+ resolution, up to 1,400 nits of brightness, and a 120Hz refresh rate. It runs on Android 16 with a layer of Realme UI 7 on top and features an optical in-screen fingerprint sensor for security.

Under the hood, the Realme 16 is powered by the Dimensity 6400 Turbo chipset. In Vietnam, the device is available with up to 12GB of LPDDR4x RAM and 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage. There’s also a hybrid SIM slot, which can be used to add a microSD card for additional storage.

The Realme 16 packs a massive 7,000mAh battery with 60W charging and reverse charging support. On the front, it has a 50-megapixel selfie camera, while the rear camera setup includes a 50-megapixel Sony IMX852 main camera and a 2-megapixel auxiliary lens.

OnePlus Nord 6 Naruto Limited Edition spotted, but there’s something more worrisome for OnePlus fans

By

-

Mar 23, 2026

OnePlus is expected to unveil the OnePlus Nord 6 in the first week of April in India. While the Nord CE 6 may or may not launch alongside the Nord 6, it seems that the company is planning an anime-inspired limited edition version.

OnePlus Nord 6 Naruto Limited Edition spotted

OnePlus Nord 6 Naruto Edition coming? 👀. Spotted on the Repair & Service page.

Leak or hint? This could be interesting.#oneplus #oneplusnord6 pic.twitter.com/ZknH5SGfkN
— Aajib (@aajib_mohammad) March 22, 2026

As can be seen above, the OnePlus Nord 6 Naruto Limited Edition moniker has appeared on the Repair & Services page on OnePlus India’s website, suggesting that this special edition will be announced alongside the regular version of the Nord 6.

This will be the second time a Nord series device will have a special edition version. To recall, the brand unveiled the OnePlus Nord 2 Pac-Man Edition in 2021. The Nord 6 Naruto Edition may come in a special package with theme-inspired elements.

OnePlus rumored to shut down in some markets

For the past few months, there have been rumors that OnePlus may shut down. One such report that emerged in January was refuted by OnePlus CEO Robin Liu, who said that OnePlus India’s business operations will continue as normal. Now, tipster Yogesh Brar has released a fresh post on X revealing that OnePlus is shutting down in some markets.

OnePlus is shutting down in select Global markets..

China business will stay unaffected.

India market will mostly get budget & mid-range products

(Not a good news for US, UK & EU customers)
— Yogesh Brar (@heyitsyogesh) March 23, 2026

Brar states that the brand will stop operating in markets like the US and Europe, including the UK. He added that the brand will remain unaffected in China, and as far as India is concerned, it will focus on budget and mid-range devices. This would be completely against the company’s original identity of launching flagship phones at aggressive pricing, which is why the initial OnePlus phones were dubbed “flagship killers.”

OnePlus is a brand known to connect well with its user base, whether it’s addressing issues like the infamous green line problem or responding to shutdown rumors. Hence, it is likely to soon release an official statement addressing the recent development.

Apple’s foldable iPhone to use dual-layer glass to reduce screen creases

By

-

Mar 23, 2026

Oppo recently debuted the Oppo Find N6 foldable with a crease that is almost negligible in daily use. It’s not completely invisible, but it’s subtle enough that many users barely notice it while scrolling or watching videos. Even Apple is rumored to use a similar display technology in its first foldable, which could launch this September.

However, the Cupertino giant appears to be even more serious about making this display the best it can be.

Apple iPhone Fold will use multiple layers of protective layers between the display

According to supply chain reports shared by tipster Digital Chat Station, Apple’s foldable display could use a dual-layer glass structure built from UTG (Ultra Thin Glass) and UFG materials.

In simple terms, this means the screen may consist of multiple glass layers rather than a single thin sheet. The display panel itself would sit between these layers instead of being placed directly against the hinge mechanism.

This design could help solve one of the biggest problems with foldables: durability. When a foldable phone bends thousands of times during its lifetime, the pressure around the hinge can gradually create a visible crease in the middle of the screen. By separating the display layer from the hinge area and using multiple glass layers, Apple may be trying to reduce stress on the panel.

The rumored display may also include a form of self-healing glass. The idea is that the display could gradually smooth itself over time, helping it maintain a cleaner look after repeated folding.

Oppo did something similar with the Find N6, which it says uses Auto-Smoothing Flex Glass, where the crease slowly smooths itself out over time.

None of this is confirmed yet, and Apple rarely comments on products before they launch. But we know for certain that a foldable iPhone is coming.

Vivo Pad 6 Pro launch confirmed next week, here are the specs we know

By

-

Mar 23, 2026

Vivo is preparing for a major product launch event in China on March 30, where it will unveil the new Vivo X300 Ultra and Vivo X300s smartphones. Alongside these devices, the company has also confirmed the arrival of the Vivo Pad 6 Pro.

Vivo is positioning the Pad 6 Pro as a productivity-focused device. The tablet was previously showcased at Mobile World Congress, where it was seen paired with a keyboard accessory and stylus.

It also features a large 13.2-inch display with a 4K True Color screen that supports Dolby Vision. In terms of performance, the Vivo Pad 6 Pro will be powered by the current best Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset.

To further support its productivity angle, Vivo is bundling PC-grade WPS Office and CapCut Professional Edition with the device. These additions make it clear that the tablet is not just for media consumption but also for tasks like document editing, video editing, and general work use.

Vivo Pad 6 Pro Specifications (Expected)

As for other specifications, reports suggest that the tablet could feature a high refresh rate display, possibly up to 144Hz, for smoother visuals. Camera-wise, it is expected to include a 13-megapixel rear camera and an 8-megapixel front-facing camera. Typical for tablets, which are usually meant for general video calls and document scanning and not much more.

Moreover, the Pad 6 Pro is said to carry roughly a 13,000mAh cell, up from 12,050mAh in the previous model. It will support either 80W or 90W of charging.

Vivo is likely to reveal more about the device in the lead-up to launch. As for global availability, there’s no word yet. But since Vivo showed off the device in MWC, we can expect a global announcement soon.

Xiaomi launches Mijia Smart Pet Feeder Visual Edition with AI

By

-

Mar 23, 2026

Xiaomi has announced a new pet feeding gadget called the Mijia Smart Pet Feeder 2 Visual Edition. It’s a follow-up to its 2023 model that, until now, handled feeding but didn’t let you actually see what your pet was doing.

The new version is launching on Xiaomi’s Youpin platform, with crowdfunding set to begin at 10:00 AM on March 30. It carries a suggested retail price of 549 yuan, though early backers will be able to get it for 449 yuan.

Xiaomi Mijia Smart Pet Feeder Visual Edition Features

The biggest addition here is a built-in 5-megapixel camera. It’s paired with a 150-degree ultra-wide-angle lens and a 940nm infrared fill light, which means it can capture footage even in low light or at night.

Xiaomi is also leaning on its AI capabilities here, allowing the feeder to recognize when a pet is approaching or actively eating.

The feeder supports 24-hour real-time monitoring and offers both local and cloud storage options. Users can insert a microSD card from 16GB to 128GB, or opt for paid cloud storage if they prefer remote access and backups.

Outside of the camera, the core hardware remains similar to the previous model. The feeder includes a 5-liter storage container that can hold up to 2.5kg of dry pet food, which Xiaomi says is enough to feed an adult cat for around 30 days.

It supports kibble sizes of up to 18mm and includes an automatic error correction mechanism that reverses the system if food gets stuck.

There are also a few practical upgrades focused on durability and food safety. Xiaomi is using a triple sealing and barrier design to help keep food dry and protected from moisture. Structurally, the feeder is built to maintain consistent operation, and it includes an emergency power supply system designed to keep feeding schedules intact during outages.

Best Tablets in Every Budget: From $100 to $1000

By

-

Mar 23, 2026

The idea of a “best” guide for any gadget doesn’t really stay still for long. Things change, products get better (or sometimes just more confusing), and what counts as worth it shifts pretty quickly.

That’s especially true with tablets, where the gap between a cheap device and an expensive one isn’t just about performance; they’re often meant for completely different things.

That’s also why picking the right one has become less about specs and more about knowing what you actually need. A $100 tablet and a $1000 tablet aren’t trying to do the same job anymore, and that’s a good thing.

So instead of trying to cover everything, this guide keeps it simple. One tablet per price range, each one chosen because it holds up right now, not just on paper, but in everyday use.

Prev Next

1. $100: Amazon Fire HD 8 (2024)

At $100, finding a good tablet is quite hard. You won’t get extreme raw power. Rather, you should look for something that gets the work done. And that’s exactly where the Fire HD 8 fits in.

This tablet is not trying to compete with iPads or premium Android tablets. Instead, it focuses on the basics.

You get an 8-inch display, a MediaTek processor, 32/64GB of storage with 3/4GB of RAM, and microSD expansion support up to 1TB. It’s a decent machine for everyday chores like browsing and streaming apps like Netflix and Prime Video.

2. $300: iPad (11th Generation)

If you have $300 and you don’t want to think about specs, the iPad (11th Gen) is a no-brainer. Announced in March 2025 for $350, you can get it for $299 during sales and discounts. The best thing about this is that Apple has finally bumped the base storage to 128GB.

Under the hood, it is powered by the A16 Bionic chip (the same one that powered the iPhone 15). As a result, it’s snappy, efficient, and handles iPadOS with zero hesitation.

The 11-inch Liquid Retina display is still unlaminated, though. Meaning there’s a tiny gap between the glass and the pixels, which might bother artists, but for the other 95% of the population, it’s a non-issue.

What makes the 11th Gen the best at this price is the ecosystem. It supports the Apple Pencil (USB-C) and the Magic Keyboard Folio for students to take notes or sketch. But it doesn’t support the high-end “Apple Intelligence” features found on the Pro models.

3. $500: Google Pixel Tablet / iPad mini 7

$500 is a sweet spot for a tablet, because you can get a good device in both the Android and Apple worlds.

First off is the Google Pixel Tablet, which works as both a tablet and a smart home device. With its dock, it can act like a smart display when not in use. This makes it a good option for people who want a hybrid device for home use.

On the other hand, the iPad mini 7 is all about portability. It’s compact, powerful, and easy to carry around. Despite its size, it delivers strong performance and supports the Apple Pencil, making it great for reading, note-taking, and quick tasks.

This price range is less about “which is better” and more about “what fits your lifestyle.” If you want versatility at home, go Pixel. If you want something small but powerful, go for the iPad mini.

Please Note: When you buy something using the links in our articles, we may earn a small commission at no cost to you.

4. $800: iPad Air (M4, 2026 Model)

Apple just refreshed the iPad Air with the M4 chip in March 2026. The lineup actually starts at $599 for the 11-inch model, while the 13-inch model is $799.

Both feature pro-grade M4 chip, Apple Intelligence support, and Liquid Retina displays. The iPad Air is also the first in the Air lineup to support Apple Pencil Pro. The stylus brings advanced creative tools like squeeze, barrel roll, and haptic feedback.

Not to forget, you also have Magic Keyboard support, which is a big part of why it feels much closer to a pro device than a basic tablet.

The compromise, you could say, is that Apple still doesn’t offer an OLED display in its $800 device. You’re still looking at a very high-quality LCD. However, unless you are a professional colorist or you spend your life watching movies in pitch-black rooms, you probably won’t care.

5. $1000: Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra

At $1000, you’re entering true flagship territory. And the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra is one of the most powerful tablets available right now.

This device is all about scale and performance. It features a massive 14.6-inch AMOLED display with HDR10+ support and 1600 nits of peak brightness. Audio is handled by a quad-speaker setup, making it one of the best tablets for watching content.

Powering it is a MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ chipset with a massive 11600mAh battery. Samsung also pushes its multitasking features hard, with desktop-style modes that make it feel closer to a laptop.

The downside is obvious, though. It’s big, expensive, and not as easy to use casually. But if you want the biggest and most capable Android tablet, this is the one.

Oppo is expected to unveil the Oppo Find X9 Ultra and Find X9s Pro in April in China. However, it appears that the brand may have planned to launch the next-generation K Turbo series phones ahead of the X9 lineup.

The alleged Oppo K15 Turbo and K15 Turbo Pro have been certified by TENAA with model numbers PMH110 and PMG110, respectively. While their final marketing names remain unconfirmed, these listings are widely believed to correspond to the next-generation K Turbo series phones.

The K15 Turbo is expected to feature a 6.59-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution (2760 x 1256 pixels), while the Pro model may sport a larger 6.78-inch OLED panel with a 1.5K resolution (1272 x 2772 pixels).

Alienware Area-51 Gaming Laptops Hit Store Shelves with RTX 5090 Options RTX 5090 GPUs, Up to 64GB RAM, and 12TB Storage

By

-

Mar 23, 2026

Alienware has announced the availability of its latest Area-51 and Aurora gaming laptops as part of its 30th anniversary lineup, introducing updated hardware, revised thermal designs, and a new visual direction. The systems were initially introduced at CES 2025 and are now available to purchase.

The Area-51 series returns as the company’s flagship notebook range, focusing on high-end configurations and larger form factors. This generation introduces what Alienware calls its “Alienware 30” design language, which replaces sharper edges with curved surfaces. The chassis also incorporates a concealed hinge design and a softer palm rest layout aimed at improving long-duration usability.

The lineup includes 16-inch and 18-inch models with WQXGA (2560 x 1600) displays. The 16-inch variant can be configured with an OLED panel offering a 240Hz refresh rate, 0.2ms response time, and up to 620 nits of peak HDR brightness. The 18-inch model uses a 300Hz panel with 500 nits brightness and a 3ms response time. An LCD option is also available for the smaller model.

On the hardware side, both Area-51 models can be equipped with up to Intel’s Core Ultra 9 290HX processor and NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5090 laptop GPU with 24GB of VRAM. Memory support goes up to 64GB of DDR5-6400 in a dual-channel configuration. Storage includes up to 2TB PCIe Gen 5 SSD, with support for up to three internal drives, allowing total capacity to scale up to 12TB.

The systems are built on the Intel HM870 chipset and use an 8-phase CPU and 11-phase GPU VRM design. Cooling is handled by larger internal fans, while power is delivered through a 96Whr battery paired with a 280W adapter. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4, with the 18-inch model also offering 2.5G Ethernet.

Alongside the flagship models, Alienware has introduced the 16X Aurora, positioned as a more portable alternative. The design removes the raised thermal shelf found in many gaming laptops, resulting in a thinner profile. The chassis retains rounded edges and a similar palm rest approach as the Area-51 series.

The 16X Aurora features a 16-inch WQXGA OLED display with a 240Hz refresh rate, 0.2ms response time, and 620 nits HDR peak brightness. It is powered by up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor and up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPU. Memory can be configured up to 64GB DDR5-5600, with storage options up to 2TB PCIe Gen 5 SSD.

Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and Gigabit Ethernet. The system is backed by a 90Whr battery and supports up to a 280W charger on higher-end configurations.

Pricing

Pricing varies depending on the configuration. The Alienware 16X Aurora with a Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus processor starts at $2,919 for pre-configured models. The Area-51 16 and Area-51 18 with similar high-end specs are priced at $4,899 and $4,999, respectively.

Dell also offers lower-priced “build your own” options. Current starting prices for Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus variants are:

Alienware 16X Aurora: RTX 5060, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, 240Hz OLED – $2,119
Alienware 16 Area-51: RTX 5070 Ti, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, 240Hz OLED – $3,569.99
Alienware 18 Area-51: RTX 5070 Ti, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, 300Hz display – $3,669.99

All models support up to 64GB RAM. The 16X Aurora goes up to an RTX 5070 Ti GPU, while the Area-51 models can be configured with up to an RTX 5090.

Fully upgraded Area-51 configurations can go up to around $8,500, depending on the specs. These prices could vary depending on the region.

ASUS Unveils 2026 ROG Strix G16, G18 Gaming Laptops with 300Hz Mini LED Panel, Intel Core Ultra 9 and RTX 5080 GPUs

Mar 22, 2026

ASUS has announced the 2026 versions of its ROG Strix G16 and ROG Strix G18 gaming laptops, introducing updated hardware, higher-end display options, and a redesigned chassis aimed at easier user upgrades. The new models bring Intel’s latest Core Ultra processors and NVIDIA’s RTX 50-series laptop GPUs to the Strix lineup, positioning them for high-performance gaming and content workloads.

Both the Strix G16 and G18 are powered by the Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus processor, paired with up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU. This combination is designed to handle modern games with ray tracing, high refresh rate output, and GPU-accelerated tasks such as video editing and 3D rendering. Support for DLSS 4 and Multi-Frame Generation is also included, which can improve frame rates in supported titles.

Display upgrades are a key change in this generation. The 16-inch Strix G16 features a 2.5K (2560 x 1600) IPS-level panel with a 300Hz refresh rate and 3ms response time, up from 240Hz in the previous model. It supports 100 percent DCI-P3 color coverage, Pantone validation, Dolby Vision, and G-SYNC. The larger Strix G18 uses an 18-inch 2.5K panel with Mini LED technology and more than 2000 dimming zones. It offers a 240Hz refresh rate, 3ms response time, and peak brightness of up to 1600 nits, targeting users who need higher contrast and HDR performance.

Both panels include anti-reflection coating, aimed at improving visibility in bright environments and maintaining color consistency from different viewing angles.

Cooling has also been updated. ASUS is using a combination of a vapor chamber, a tri-fan setup, and a layered heatsink design to manage thermals. This setup is intended to maintain stable performance during extended gaming sessions or heavy workloads.

One of the more practical changes is the redesigned chassis. The laptops now feature tool-less access through spring-loaded tabs, allowing users to open the system without screws. Internal components such as RAM and SSDs can be accessed quickly, and the SSD slots use a Q-Latch system for easier installation. Both models support up to 64GB DDR5 memory at 6400MT/s and up to 2TB PCIe 4.0 SSD storage.

Connectivity includes two Thunderbolt 5 ports with DisplayPort 2.1 and power delivery, three USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, HDMI 2.1, a 2.5G Ethernet port, and a 3.5mm audio jack. Wireless support comes via WiFi 7. Audio features include Dolby Atmos, Hi-Res Audio, and AI-based noise cancellation.

The laptops ship with Windows 11 Pro and include a per-key RGB keyboard with Aura Sync lighting and a dedicated Copilot key. Both models are equipped with a 90Wh battery and support up to a 380W power adapter.

The Strix G16 weighs 2.7kg, while the Strix G18 weighs 3.5kg. ASUS plans to offer both models in Eclipse Grey and Volt Green finishes.

Pricing and availability have not been announced yet.

Casio A168 Watches Get Nikon-Inspired Makeover With PPP Cameras N168 Launch

By

-

Mar 22, 2026

PPP Cameras recently drew attention with its Leica-inspired Casio M-Edition watch, a modified version of the Casio AE-1200WHD that focused entirely on design changes rather than new features. The model introduced details like a red dial referencing Leica’s signature look, a custom red LED backlight, and a leather strap styled after camera body coverings.

The company is now following a similar approach with a new custom release called the N168. This model is based on the Casio A168WE, another widely used digital watch platform. Like the M-Edition, this is not an official Casio release but a third-party redesign focused on aesthetics.

Casio A168 - Titanium Edition — Casio N168 – Titanium Edition

Casio A168 - Black Edition — Casio N168 – Titanium Edition

The N168 keeps the original A168 digital module unchanged. It still includes standard features such as a stopwatch, alarm, and backlight. There are no functional upgrades, which makes it clear that the product is centered on visual identity rather than performance improvements.

This time, the design takes inspiration from Nikon cameras. The display features a yellow tint, referencing Nikon’s signature color. The strap uses a black canvas material with yellow stitching, similar to camera straps used on DSLR and mirrorless systems. The case design remains close to the original A168, and existing elements like the “Illuminator” branding are still visible, reinforcing that the base hardware has not been altered.

PPP Cameras has listed three versions of the N168: Chrome, Black, and Titanium. The differences between them are mostly limited to the finish rather than structural changes, making them variations of the same concept. In terms of pricing, the Chrome and Titanium models are listed at £150 (around $200), while the Black variant is priced slightly higher at £170 (approximately $226).

Galaxy S26’s Now Brief sounds useful, but there’s a privacy catch

By

Mar 22, 2026

Samsung’s Now Brief feature, introduced with the Galaxy S26 as part of its Galaxy AI push, sounds like one of those ideas that should just work. Your daily info, neatly summarized in one place. Weather, reminders, news, a few suggestions. It’s all there on the home or lock screen. In practice, though, it’s been a bit of a mixed bag.

Now Brief pulls together updates from different sources and presents them as a daily snapshot. You’ll see things like weather, calendar reminders, screen time summaries, and sometimes recommendations from apps like YouTube. There’s also some customization, with categories like health, travel, and traffic. But from what many users are saying, the experience isn’t always as “smart” as it sounds. News can feel outdated, suggestions miss the mark, and a lot of it overlaps with apps people already check directly.

Where things get more interesting is in a setting called “Get richer insights.” This is where Samsung leans more heavily into personalization, with toggles for services like YouTube and Gemini. Turning these on is supposed to improve recommendations. More relevant videos, better suggestions tied to your habits or plans.

But there’s a catch, and it’s not a small one. Enabling these options means sharing a fairly wide range of data with Google. That can include things like your schedule, reminders, bookings, browsing activity, and even the kind of videos you watch. The idea is to give the system more context, but it also means handing over a deeper look into your daily routine.

Samsung does make it optional, and the basic version of Now Brief works without enabling these features. Still, it raises a familiar question. How much personalization is worth the trade-off? For some, the added convenience might be useful. For others, it may feel like more access than they’re comfortable giving up.

Either way, it’s a reminder that smarter features often come with a bit of fine print.

Huawei-Watch-GT-Runner-2-Launch-Specs-Price

Huawei includes a new AirDry woven strap with a hollow design to improve airflow. The company says it increases breathability by 25 percent compared to earlier straps. A second fluoroelastomer strap is also included for workouts where sweat and water are more of a concern.

The watch has a 1.32-inch AMOLED display with a 466 x 466 resolution and peak brightness of up to 3000 nits. This helps with outdoor visibility. It uses second-generation Kunlun Glass for durability.

Huawei is focusing heavily on running features. The Watch GT Runner 2 includes an Intelligent Marathon Mode co-creation with DSM-Firmenich Running Team. It offers structured training plans, race preparation tools, and support for major marathon events or custom runs.

The watch tracks advanced metrics such as lactate threshold, running power, training intensity, and a Running Ability Index. It can also predict finishing times based on past data. During runs, it shows real-time pace charts, estimated finish times, and how far ahead or behind you are compared to your target. It also includes a digital pacer and fueling reminders. After workouts, the Huawei Health app provides performance breakdowns and recovery insights.

Huawei says the watch uses a 3D floating antenna system for GPS tracking, with up to 20 percent better positioning accuracy compared to the previous model. Beyond running, it supports over 100 sports modes, including trail running, swimming, cycling, golf, with access to over 17,000 courses in some regions, and freediving up to 40 meters. It has 5 ATM and IP69 ratings, though it is not meant for hot showers or deep diving.

Health features include ECG, heart rate variability tracking, blood oxygen monitoring, sleep tracking with breathing awareness, stress tracking, and pulse wave arrhythmia analysis. These features are for reference only.

Battery life is rated at up to 14 days under light use, around 7 days with typical use, and up to 32 hours in outdoor workout mode with precise positioning. It supports wireless charging, NFC, Bluetooth calling, standalone music playback, and QR code scanning. It works with Android and iOS, though some features are limited on iPhones.

The watch is priced at £349 in the UK and around $420 to $466 depending on the region.
