According to Digital Chat Station, the Honor Magic 9’s rear camera setup will be headlined by a 200-megapixel camera featuring a 1/2.8-inch large sensor. For ultra-wide shots, it will feature a 50-megapixel sensor.

The rear setup will also include a 64-megapixel periscope telephoto camera equipped with a mid-tier 1/2-inch sensor. While there is no information about the device’s front camera, it may retain the Magic 8’s 50-megapixel selfie snapper.

A couple of days ago, it was reported that Honor is upgrading the Magic 9’s battery and is currently working on packing an 8,000mAh unit. There is no information about the device’s fast charging capabilities, but it is said to support wireless charging. To recall, the Honor Magic 8 featured a 7,000mAh battery with 90W wired and 80W wireless charging support.

Early reports suggest that the Magic 9 will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chipset. Qualcomm is expected to unveil the 2nm chip in September this year.

On the front, the Magic 9 is said to feature a 6.3-inch OLED LTPO panel with a flat design. It is expected to feature an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor for security. Other details about the device remain under wraps.

Xiaomi ends software support for this popular smartphone series

Mar 18, 2026

Xiaomi has an impressive software update policy for its devices, but even that has to come to an end sometime. It hurts more when popular devices reach the end of life (EOL), as that impacts a large group of people. Sadly, that time has arrived for the popular Xiaomi 12 series, which is now officially retiring from all kinds of software updates, including HyperOS updates and security patches.

As mentioned on the official security center page (via Xiaomi Time), the update cycle for the Xiaomi 12 series has finally concluded. That means it won’t receive HyperOS updates, security patches, or feature drops. Here’s a list of affected devices and their final HyperOS/Android OS versions.

Xiaomi 12: HyperOS 3.0 / Android 15
Xiaomi 12 Pro: HyperOS 3.0 / Android 15
Xiaomi 12 Lite: HyperOS 1.0 / Android 14

All three Xiaomi 12 models were launched with Android 12, but didn’t receive the same software support. Being premium models, the Xiaomi 12 and 12 Pro promised an extra OS upgrade over the Xiaomi 12 Lite. As a result, both are retiring with Android 15, while the Xiaomi 12 Lite will spend its life running Android 14.

Alongside the Xiaomi 12 series, the Redmi Note 12 5G has also been added to the EOL list. This smartphone launched with Android 12 and, after two OS upgrades, it now runs Android 14 with HyperOS 2.0 on top.

If your Xiaomi phone is on the list, it’s best to upgrade to go for a new hardware. That will receive the latest HyperOS updates with plenty of new features and enhancements, and security patches will ensure protection against the latest vulnerabilities.

You can still use your current device, though. It would work just fine, but without the latest security patches, you’re exposing it to new vulnerabilities. If you’re considering a smartphone upgrade, do check out our curated list of Xiaomi phones with the best software support.

To ensure you don’t miss out on the latest HyperOS stories, remember to visit the Xiaomi section on this website regularly. Alternatively, you can join us on Telegram to get instant notifications about the latest HyperOS updates and the biggest tech headlines.

OnePlus has wrapped up its OxygenOS 16 rollout and may already be developing the next major upgrade, OxygenOS 17, which would be based on Android 17. We can expect to see some major upgrades and a host of refinements across the UI, along with upgrades to security and privacy.

Unfortunately, many OnePlus devices will miss out on the OxygenOS 17 update, as they have already received the promised number of OS updates. We’ve prepared a list of such devices below. Review it to find out if you’re on the safe side or if you’ll need a newer device to receive this major upgrade.

Galaxy A37 pricing revealed ahead of launch

Mar 18, 2026

Samsung’s next set of Galaxy A series phones seems to be getting closer to launch. The Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57 have both been popping up in leaks lately. After a retail unit of the Galaxy A57 surfaced with its pricing in Thailand, promo materials for both devices have now appeared online, revealing the Galaxy A37’s pricing in the market.

The poster lists the 8GB + 256GB variant of the A37 at THB 13,999. That roughly converts to around $430, or about ₹36,000, though final pricing will obviously vary by region.

What’s interesting is that only this higher storage option is mentioned. Earlier leaks did suggest a 6GB + 128GB model as well, but there’s still no clear pricing for that one. It could mean Samsung is pushing the A37 with more storage by default in some markets, or it’s just the variant they’re choosing to highlight first.

There’s also been a steady flow of other leaks around these phones, including unboxings, hands-on clips, and even a teardown.

As for specs, the Galaxy A37 is expected to feature a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, along with Samsung’s Exynos 1480 chip. The camera setup is said to include a 50MP main sensor, plus 8MP ultra-wide and 5MP macro lenses. On the front, there’s reportedly a 12MP selfie camera.

Battery capacity is listed at 5,000mAh, paired with 45W charging, which should be more than enough for a full day of use. Software-wise, it’s expected to run One UI 8.5 based on Android 16.

Nothing here feels like a major shift, but taken together, it looks like a fairly solid update. If the pricing holds up across markets, the A37 could land as another dependable mid-range option once it officially launches.

The Bromley 450 has a box-style design wrapped in water-based PU leather. It uses soft TPU corner caps for added protection and a stamped metal grille on the front. The speaker also includes built-in stage lights inspired by 1970s shows. Physical tactile controls are placed on top for easy use, especially in loud or crowded spaces.

It delivers True Stereophonic 360° sound through drivers placed on multiple sides. This allows the audio to spread evenly in all directions, whether indoors or outdoors. The sound is tuned for strong bass, clear mids, and detailed highs, so it works well across different types of music.

Battery life is a major highlight. The Bromley 450 offers over 40 hours of playback on a single charge, which can cover long sessions or multiple events. It supports interchangeable batteries that are also used in the Bromley 750, so you can swap batteries when needed. The speaker can also run on an AC cable, which can charge the battery at the same time.

It includes three-stage light presets. One provides ambient lighting, while the other two sync with the music for a more active light effect. The speaker also has two combo input jacks for microphones and instruments, making it easy to set up karaoke or a small live performance.

Oura Ring 4 launched in India with advanced sleep and wellness features

Mar 17, 2026

Oura has officially introduced the Oura Ring 4 in India. First launched globally in October 2024, the smart ring is now available at over 100 Croma stores and on Amazon.in.

The Silver and Black variants are priced at ₹28,900, while the premium Stealth, Brushed Silver, Gold, and Rose Gold finishes come with a price tag of ₹39,900. To access all app features, users must pay a monthly subscription fee of ₹599.

Oura Ring 4 Specifications

The Oura Ring 4 tracks over 50 health metrics, including sleep patterns, heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV), stress levels, blood oxygen levels (SpO₂), and daytime activity. The ring uses AI-powered insights to help users understand their health data and make improvements. The device does not have a screen or notifications, and it focuses on providing long-term wellness insights rather than real-time updates.

The Oura Ring 4 features several hardware upgrades over its predecessor. The ring now includes 18 sensing pathways, which improve accuracy for metrics like HRV and blood oxygen levels. The titanium construction makes it lightweight, durable, and comfortable for all-day wear. The device is water-resistant up to 100 meters and has a battery life of 5 to 8 days, with a full charge taking just 20 to 80 minutes.

The company has also drawn attention to sleep-related challenges in India through its report, India: The State of Sleep 2026. According to the findings, Indians get an average of just 6 hours and 28 minutes of sleep per night, around 40 minutes less than those in the highest-sleeping countries.

Bedtimes tend to stretch late, averaging 12:14 AM, while users typically wake up at 7:43 AM, leaving limited time for proper recovery. Many try to make up for this deficit with daytime naps, which reach an average of 53 minutes on Mondays, the highest globally. Through its platform, Oura aims to help users better understand and improve their sleep and overall recovery.

The Oura Ring 4 is available in six finishes and multiple sizes (4-15) to ensure a proper fit. The device integrates with over 40 apps and works with both Android and iOS.

In related news, we recently wrote an article about smart rings in 2026, discussing whether they are just a niche fad or the next big wearable revolution.

Mar 17, 2026

Xiaomi is close to launching the Xiaomi 17T series, and a new report may have spilled the beans on two upcoming phones in the lineup. According to information shared by tipster Digital Chat Station, Xiaomi is working on two new mid-range phones expected to launch in Q2 2026.

While the leak doesn’t reveal the phones’ names, they are expected to be part of the Xiaomi 17T series.

According to the tipster, the vanilla Xiaomi 17T could feature a 6.59-inch flat display with a 1.5K resolution. It may also pack a battery of around 7,000mAh and could be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8500 processor.

Meanwhile, the higher-end 17T Pro variant is expected to feature the more powerful MediaTek Dimensity 9500. On the camera side, the Pro model may include a periscope telephoto lens.

Software-wise, the devices are likely to run a newer version of HyperOS, though specifics remain unclear.

What else do we know?

A previous report also hints that the Xiaomi 17T and Xiaomi 17T Pro are expected to feature Leica-tuned cameras. The phones are tipped to include a triple rear camera setup consisting of a 50MP primary sensor, a 12MP secondary sensor, and a 50MP telephoto sensor.

Galaxy A57 promo leak confirms specifications ahead of launch

Mar 17, 2026

Samsung’s Galaxy A series doesn’t usually go for big surprises, and from the latest leaks, the Galaxy A57 seems to follow that same pattern, just with a few practical upgrades here and there.

New details shared by @Alfaturk16 on X include what look like promo materials and internal diagrams of the device. The design is probably the first thing people will notice. The A57 is said to use a unibody metal build, measuring 6.9mm in thickness and weighing around 179 grams. That would make it slimmer and a bit easier to handle than recent models. The bezels also seem slightly reduced, though not dramatically.

Camera hardware looks familiar. There’s a 50MP main sensor, backed by a 12MP ultra-wide that supports 4K at 30fps, along with a 5MP macro lens. On the front, a 12MP selfie camera handles video and photos, also with 4K support.

Software might be where things are intended to feel a little different. The phone is expected to run One UI 8.5 based on Android 16, with features like Now Brief, some level of AI-powered search, and updates to Bixby. How useful those actually are will depend on how well they’re implemented. Samsung’s AI features have been a bit hit-or-miss so far.

Under the hood, the Exynos 1680 is expected to power the device. It’s likely aimed at steady, everyday performance rather than anything too demanding. More interesting is the cooling setup. The leaked internal views suggest a larger vapor chamber, which could help keep performance stable over longer sessions.

The display is a 6.7-inch OLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, paired with an in-display fingerprint sensor. Battery capacity is listed at 5,000mAh, with 45W charging support.

Overall, the A57 feels more like a careful update than a major step forward. Still, if these changes hold up, it should fit comfortably into Samsung’s mid-range lineup once it arrives.

FUJIFILM India has announced the instax mini 13, a new entry-level instant camera in its instax lineup. The camera is designed for instant photo printing and builds on the instax mini 12 with updates focused on ease of use and added shooting flexibility.

The instax mini 13 is an analog instant camera that keeps operation simple. Users can turn the lens to power it on, frame the shot, and press the shutter button to capture and print instantly. The camera introduces two built-in self-timers. The 2-second timer helps reduce camera shake during handheld selfies, while the 10-second timer allows users to place the camera down for group shots or full-body images. The timer is controlled using a lever on the shutter button.

The design has been updated with a rounded, 3D body and a pop-style look. It features a metallic silver logo on the front and a band-wrapped design on the sides. The camera is available in five translucent pastel colors: Dreamy Purple, Candy Pink, Frost Blue, Lagoon Green, and Clay White.

Fujifilm has also included a Camera Angle Adjustment Accessory that allows users to adjust the shooting angle without needing a tripod. This makes it easier to use the self-timer in different scenarios.

The camera retains features from the previous model, including Close-up Mode and Automatic Exposure. Close-up Mode includes parallax correction, which adjusts the viewfinder framing to better match the final print. Automatic Exposure adjusts shutter speed and flash intensity based on the scene to ensure proper brightness.

Fujifilm has also updated the instax UP! smartphone app. The latest version uses AI in its scanning feature to improve accuracy and make it easier to digitize instax prints, regardless of background or orientation, for sharing on social media.

Alongside the mini 13, Fujifilm has introduced a new Jet Black color option for the instax WIDE 400 camera, in addition to the existing Green variant.

Prev Next

1. Design and Display

2. Build and Feel

Both foldables push premium craftsmanship, but they approach durability differently. The Oppo Find N6 stands out with its titanium hinge and aircraft-grade aluminum frame, giving it a slightly more “engineered” feel. The addition of IP58/IP59 protection adds confidence for real-world usage. On the other hand, the Honor Magic V6 feels more refined in durability standards with an IP68/IP69 rating, offering stronger resistance overall. Honor also focuses heavily on screen protection with its armored inner display and anti-reflective coating, which subtly improves usability outdoors. Oppo’s zero-crease claim and self-healing glass lean more toward long-term display smoothness, which feels futuristic.

Display Quality

Oppo delivers a larger, more immersive inner screen with Dolby Vision and strong brightness, while its cover display reaches very high peak brightness levels. Honor counters with extreme brightness numbers and higher PWM dimming, making it more comfortable for sensitive eyes. The slightly smaller display on Honor feels more controlled, while Oppo feels more cinematic.

Verdict

Honor wins for durability and eye comfort, but Oppo feels more premium and immersive.

3. Specifications Including Battery

Performance

Both devices run the same Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip with identical CPU and GPU setups, so real-world performance is virtually identical. Multitasking, gaming, and heavy workloads feel effortless on both. Oppo edges slightly ahead with higher RAM availability across variants, which may help in long-term usage. However, Honor balances this with longer software support, promising up to 7 major Android updates, making it a safer long-term investment.

Battery and Charging

Oppo packs a 6000 mAh battery with fast wired and wireless charging, delivering a balanced flagship experience. Honor goes bigger with up to 7150 mAh (depending on variant), clearly focusing on endurance. Wireless charging is also faster on Honor. In daily use, Honor is likely to last longer, especially for heavy users, while Oppo feels more balanced in charging flexibility.

Verdict

Performance is equal, but Honor wins overall due to a larger battery and longer software support.

4. Camera

5. Main and Secondary Lenses

Oppo takes a bold approach with a 200MP main sensor, paired with a periscope zoom and ultrawide lens tuned with Hasselblad color science. This setup leans toward detail-rich photography and more vibrant, stylized output. Honor uses a more balanced approach with a 50MP main sensor and a higher-resolution 64MP periscope lens, which may produce more consistent zoom results. Oppo’s video capabilities stand out with 4K Dolby Vision recording and higher frame rates, making it more versatile for creators.

Selfie Camera

Both devices feature dual 20MP selfie cameras for the inner and cover screens. The experience is nearly identical, with solid HDR and 4K recording. Neither device clearly dominates here, as both prioritize consistency over innovation.

Verdict

Oppo wins for camera versatility and video features, while Honor offers more balanced zoom performance.

6. Pricing

Price Comparison

The Oppo Find N6 is priced at around $1400 (₹90,000), while the Honor Magic V6 comes in at approximately $1300 (₹110,000). Interestingly, despite being cheaper globally, Honor appears more expensive in the Indian market based on conversion, which affects perceived value. Oppo positions itself as a premium foldable with advanced camera hardware and display innovations, while Honor focuses on durability, battery, and longevity.

Value for Money

Oppo feels like a better deal in regions where pricing is lower, especially considering its camera hardware and display tech. Honor justifies its price with stronger durability ratings, a bigger battery, and long software support, which adds long-term value. The choice depends on whether upfront features or longevity matter more.

Verdict

Oppo offers better immediate value, while Honor delivers stronger long-term investment appeal.

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

7. Conclusion

Oppo Find N6 stands out with its 200MP camera, Dolby Vision video, self-healing display, and zero-crease design, making it feel cutting-edge and media-focused. Honor Magic V6 counters with industry-leading durability ratings, massive battery capacity, anti-reflective displays, and extended software support. These differences highlight two philosophies: Oppo prioritizes innovation and experience, while Honor emphasizes reliability and endurance.

Verdict

The Oppo Find N6 is the better choice for users who want top-tier camera performance, immersive displays, and a premium foldable feel. The Honor Magic V6 is ideal for those who prioritize battery life, durability, and long-term usability.

Overall, Honor edges ahead slightly as a more practical daily driver, while Oppo feels more exciting and feature-rich.

Oppo launches 50W Magnetic Turbo 2 AIRVOOC wireless charger with built-in cooling system

Alongside the Find N6 foldable, Oppo also announced a new wireless charger, called the Oppo Magnetic Turbo 2 AIRVOOC 50W. As the name suggests, it’s a 50W wireless charger, but with a built-in cooling system and a desktop stand. The charger is priced at 349 yuan (~$50) in China.

According to the company, the wireless charger can charge the Oppo Find N6 to around 50 percent in about 34 minutes. Oppo recommends pairing it with a SUPERVOOC adapter rated at 80W or higher and an official fast-charging cable to achieve those speeds.

The charger has a cooling system inside!

One of the main features here is the cooling system. The charger uses chip-level active turbine air cooling combined with a built-in TEC cooling chip and a centrifugal fan. Oppo says this multi-layer heat dissipation setup helps keep the device cool during charging.

The Magnetic Turbo 2 also introduces multiple operating modes. Users can double-tap the device to switch between high-power cooling charging, a quieter charging mode, and a cooling-only mode that focuses purely on heat dissipation without charging. The charger has indicator lights that show which mode is currently active.

Another practical addition is the built-in stand. The charger includes a 360-degree rotating desktop stand, allowing it to function like a charging dock on a desk. This makes it easier to place a phone upright for video calls, notifications, or general use while it charges.

Despite being designed for Oppo’s magnetic ecosystem, the charger is also compatible with Apple devices. It can wirelessly charge iPhones and supports the Standby feature introduced in recent versions of iOS.

The charger itself is relatively compact, measuring about 63mm in diameter and just over 22mm in height. It connects through a USB-C port and supports Oppo’s AIRVOOC charging protocol.

Mar 17, 2026

After weeks of teasers, Poco has finally introduced its latest X-series smartphones, the Poco X8 Pro 5G and the Poco X8 Pro Max 5G. There’s also a themed Poco X8 Pro Iron Man Edition if you’re a Marvel fan.

As expected of the X-series, the two phones are all about performance. Both are powered by MediaTek Dimensity chipsets with a large battery inside. Poco X8 Pro and X8 Pro Max will go on sale in India starting March 23.

Poco X8 Pro Series Specifications

The standout here is clearly the Poco X8 Pro Max 5G. It comes with a large 9,000mAh battery, which Poco claims can give three days of run time in moderate use. The standard Poco X8 Pro 5G, meanwhile, sticks with a still-large 6,500mAh battery.

Both phones support 100W wired fast charging, along with 27W reverse wired charging.

The Poco X8 Pro Max 5G features a 6.83-inch AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It also reaches up to 3,500 nits of peak brightness and includes high-frequency PWM dimming.

The Poco X8 Pro 5G gets a slightly smaller 6.59-inch AMOLED panel, but it retains the same refresh rate and similar display characteristics.

Under the hood, the Pro Max model is powered by a 3nm MediaTek Dimensity 9500s, paired with up to 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB of UFS 4.1 storage. The standard Pro uses a Dimensity 8500 Ultra processor, built on a 4nm process, with slightly lower storage ceilings.

Both phones also include Poco’s 3D Ice Loop cooling system, though the Pro Max version gets a larger cooling area. It’s a detail that may matter more for sustained gaming or heavy workloads than everyday use.

Cameras and durability

On the camera side, Poco is sticking with a simpler formula. Both devices feature a dual rear setup led by a 50-megapixel primary sensor with optical image stabilization, alongside an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera. On the front, there’s a 20-megapixel selfie shooter capable of handling video calls and basic content capture.
