Before we get to each of the models individually, let us share some info on the chipset.

Kirin 9020 Chipset Powering the Mate 70 Series

As always Huawei shared limited details about the chipset during the launch of the Mate 70 Series.

However, images posted on Weibo have now confirmed that the Kirin 9020 powers the series.

Following in the footsteps of its predecessor, the Kirin 9010 is the new chipset featuring a 12-core CPU with two prime cores clocked at 2.5GHz, six mid-range cores at 2.1GHz and four efficiency cores at 1.6GHz.

This design could involve hyperthreading, where a physical core can support two logical cores. For example, the Kirin 9010 had a 1+3+4 physical core setup but used hyperthreading to achieve a logical core design of 2+6+4.

The Kirin 9020 is expected to use a similar technique.

Now, let’s get to each of the Mate 70 models and understand what each is offering.

More and more companies are realising the importance of having in-house hardware production capabilities and the trend seems to be catching up.

After Google and Apple, we now getting reports of another popular brand working to develop its own chips. Here’s what the report says.

Xiaomi Developing Its Own Chip

Xiaomi’s 3nm Custom Chip Arriving in 2025?

According to a recent report, Xiaomi is reportedly gearing up to develop its own mobile chipsets following Google’s lead with its Tensor chips for Pixel smartphones.

Most Android phones today run on chipsets from either Qualcomm or MediaTek. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processors dominate the flagship segment, while MediaTek powers many mid-range and budget devices.

Samsung, on the other hand, uses its in-house Exynos chips and lower-end devices in some regions.

A notable exception has been Google’s Tensor chip, introduced with the Pixel 6 series in 2021. The Tensor lineup currently based on Samsung’s Exynos architecture is set to switch to TSMC for manufacturing in 2025 with plans for a fully custom design.

Now reports are hinting that Xiaomi appears to be on a similar path.

According to a report from Bloomberg, Xiaomi aims to launch smartphones in 2025 powered by its in-house chip. The company plans to begin mass production of these processors in the same year.

This will mark a significant move away from Xiaomi’s current reliance on Qualcomm and MediaTek.

The company’s entry into custom silicon could signal a new era of differentiation in the competitive Android market.

Xiaomi’s venture into custom silicon could signal a new era of differentiation in the competitive Android market.

The report states:

“Xiaomi Corp. is preparing a self-designed mobile processor for its upcoming smartphones in an effort to reduce its reliance on foreign suppliers Qualcomm Inc. and MediaTek Inc. The processor may help Xiaomi be more self-sufficient and stand out in an Android market led by Qualcomm customers. Mass production of the chip designed in-house is expected to begin in 2025.”

Xiaomi’s efforts in chip design may also contribute to its ambitions for electric vehicles.

It is still clear how the new Xiaomi chips will be different from Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processors since Xiaomi has a long-standing partnership with Qualcomm. For example, Xiaomi’s latest flagship lineup the Xiaomi 15 series was among the first to feature the new Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset.

FAQs

Q1. What is Xiaomi planning to develop by 2025?

Answer. Xiaomi is developing its own mobile chipsets and aims to launch smartphones powered by these chips in 2025.

Q2. When will Xiaomi begin mass production of its in-house processors?

Answer. Xiaomi plans to begin mass production of its in-house processors in 2025, marking a significant move away from its reliance on Qualcomm and MediaTek.

Q3. How could Xiaomi’s new chips impact the market?

The Galaxy S25 Ultra will reportedly come in three special finishes: Titanium Blue/Black, Titanium Jade Green and Titanium Pink/Silver.

The highly anticipated launch of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is just a few months away now.

And as the time comes closer, we will have more details coming out from both official and unofficial sources. This update is about an unofficial source.

Last week, we had viral photos of a dummy unit of Galaxy S25 Ultra and now a new hands-on video has surfaced.

The video posted on Reddit shows what appears to be a working prototype of the phone.

Here’s everything you need to know.

Reddit post shared a hands-on video of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Hands-On Video Leak

The hands-on video was shared on Reddit in a post titled “Galaxy S24 Ultra definitely.” The device shown in the clip shows the rumoured rounded corner design of the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Famous tipster Ice Universe confirmed on X that the device in the video is indeed the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Obviously S25 Ultra!https://t.co/EVkRTMc5Ul

The phone in the video features a glossy metallic finish with noticeably rounded corners.

This appears to be quite different from the sharp and pointy design of the current Galaxy S24 Ultra.

The change will complement the new One UI 7, which features more rounded design elements.

At the back, Samsung’s signature camera setup is visible. However, the rumoured camera rings around the lenses are missing. These camera rings were seen in previous leaks featuring dummy units of the Galaxy S25 Ultra. At that time, Ice Universe mentioned that the final design of the phone could differ significantly from those dummy units.

While the video offers a glimpse of the device, it doesn’t reveal much about the phone’s user interface or features.

Reports suggest that it’s likely another prototype and not the final version set to launch in January.

Phrases like “Multi-Core Comparison” and “proper bump up in performance” can be seen on the screen along with the number 9391, which aligns with earlier Geekbench listings for the device.

Reports reveal iPhone 17 Air prototypes are between 5 and 6mm thick.
To achieve this thinnest design, the iPhone 17 Air will have only one earpiece speaker, a single rear camera and Apple’s in-house 5G modem.

It was revealed long ago that Apple is working on some bold new designs with the iPhone 17 Air and is aiming to create the thinnest iPhone we have seen yet. Now, the latest report suggests the bold design choices are actually bolder than we earlier thought.

According to a report from The Information, prototypes for the iPhone 17 Air are between 5 and 6 millimetres thick, a massive reduction compared to the 7.8mm thickness of the iPhone 16.

However, this ultra-thin design is creating significant challenges for Apple’s engineers.

The report highlights some compromises Apple is making to achieve this level of thinness. It notes that Apple engineers are “finding it hard to fit the battery and thermal materials into the device.”

To save space, the iPhone 17 Air will feature only one earpiece speaker. The report explains, “Apple is compromising on other aspects of the slim iPhone’s design to ensure its thinness. For instance, the thin iPhone will only have a single speaker in its earpiece because there is no room for a second speaker at the bottom, which is standard in other models, one person said.”

The iPhone 17 Air will have just one rear camera housed in a “large, centred camera bump.”

If Apple succeeds, the iPhone 17 Air would dethrone the iPhone 6 as the company’s thinnest phone, which measured 6.9mm. It would also rival Apple’s thinnest devices overall, such as the 11-inch iPad Pro (5.4mm) and the 13-inch iPad Pro (5.1mm).

The iPhone 17 Air will be “among the first iPhones” to feature Apple’s in-house 5G modem.

However, the report highlights some limitations, stating: “However, Apple’s in-house modem doesn’t perform as well as Qualcomm’s. Its peak speeds are lower and its ability to stay connected to cellular networks is slightly less reliable, the person said. And Apple’s in-house modem lacks support for millimetre wave, a technology introduced in the iPhone 12 that allows for higher cellular speeds in certain areas.”

The ultra-thin design also means engineers haven’t yet figured out how to include a physical SIM card tray.

While Apple has phased out SIM trays in many regions although China still requires them.

The report quotes the Head of Chinese technology, telecom and software research at Jefferies, Edison Lee: “The Chinese telcos don’t support eSIM for mobile phones owing to the risk that this system would not allow the telcos to be able to verify the personal identity of each user. China is enforcing a real-name registration system for all mobile users, and thus the telcos don’t generally support eSIM except for Apple Watch and iPad.”

The iPhone 17 Air is currently in early production trials at Foxconn and recently had its advanced from proto-1 to proto-2 status.

FAQs

Q1. How thin will the iPhone 17 Air be compared to previous models?

Answer. Prototypes for the iPhone 17 Air are between 5 and 6mm thick, which is a massive reduction compared to the 7.8mm thickness of the iPhone 16.

Q2. What compromises is Apple making to achieve the thin design of the iPhone 17 Air?

Answer. To save space, the iPhone 17 Air will feature only one earpiece speaker and a single rear camera housed in a large, centred camera bump.

Q3. What challenges are Apple engineers facing with the iPhone 17 Air’s design?

Answer. Apple engineers are finding it hard to fit the battery and thermal materials into the device due to the ultra-thin design.

It appears Apple has some really interesting things planned for its upcoming iPhone 17 lineup.

First, there were the reports of the thinnest iPhones and now more recently we are getting updates on the other model iPhone 17 Pro.

Here’s a quick recap of the most recent report on iPhone 17 that has surfaced online.

According to a recent report in The Information, Apple is gearing up for some major design updates with the iPhone 17 series set to launch in 2025.

While much attention has been on the rumoured iPhone 17 Air, new reports suggest significant changes across the entire lineup particularly for the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max models.

Wayne Ma and Qianer Liu revealed in The Information report: “Apple’s other iPhone models will also undergo significant design changes next year. For instance, they’ll all switch to aluminium frames from stainless steel and titanium, one of the people said. The back of the Pro and Pro Max models will feature a new part-aluminum, part-glass design. The top of the back will comprise a larger rectangular camera bump made of aluminium rather than traditional 3D glass. The bottom half will remain glass to accommodate wireless charging, two people said.”

So, the major updates expected in the iPhone 17 Lineup are –

Aluminum Frames for All Models: The entire iPhone 17 lineup will switch to aluminium frames, although Apple hasn’t explained the reasoning behind this move.
New Camera Design for Pro Models: The Pro and Pro Max will feature larger, rectangular camera bumps made of aluminium, signalling a focus on enhanced camera features.
Impact on Wireless Charging: Shifting away from an all-glass back could affect wireless charging capabilities.

This marks a notable departure from Apple’s recent push towards titanium frames in its Pro models, which had been marketed as a premium feature.

9to5Mac in its latest report raised questions about Apple’s strategy of moving to aluminium.

Is Apple planning a complete shift in materials to streamline production and manage costs? There could also be a possibility that Apple might be reserving titanium for future high-end models.

In any case, the Pro models’ larger aluminium camera bumps hint at a stronger focus on photography and videography.

FAQS

Q1. What material will the iPhone 17 lineup use for its frames?

Answer. The entire iPhone 17 lineup will switch to aluminium frames, moving away from stainless steel and titanium.

Q2. What design change is expected for the iPhone 17 Pro models?

Answer. The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max will feature larger, rectangular aluminium camera bumps, focusing on enhanced camera features.

Q3. How might the new design affect wireless charging for the iPhone 17 Pro models?

Answer. The part-aluminum, part-glass design could impact wireless charging with the bottom half remaining glass to accommodate this feature.

Meta’s Threads is testing a feature that allows users to choose their default feed.

Meta’s Threads is doing everything it can to ensure users feel more in control of their experience on the app.

After the recent updates and feature testing reports, we are now getting an update on another feature that will make the app more customisable. Here’s a recent update.

It appears Threads is finally letting users choose which feed they want to see first when opening the app.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the feature in a post on the App revealing that users can select from the For You, Following, or any custom feeds they’ve created. According to Zuckerberg, Threads is currently “testing” the feature and aims to make different feeds “more visible” in the app.

How to Set Your Threads Default Feed?

As confirmed by Zuckerberg, the feature is currently in testing mode, which means it is not available to a larger group. However, if you’re part of the test group, here’s how you can simply set your preferred default feed –

Open the Threads app.
Tap and hold any feed name at the top.
Select “Edit feeds.”
Drag your favourite feed to the top spot.
The feed you place first will automatically appear when you open the app.

This change comes after over a year of waiting for users to gain more control over their Threads experience.

The move addresses common frustrations, especially among those who’ve asked for the Following feed to be a default option.

Threads has been ramping up improvements in response to growing competition from Bluesky, which recently surpassed 20 million users.

Some of the latest updates include a revamped “For You” feed that prioritizes posts from accounts you follow instead of suggested content, a more useful search feature and support for landscape videos.

Last week, the platform rolled out changes to the ‘For You’ algorithm, surfacing more content from accounts you follow.

While many tech experts welcomed the change, there was a section of users who expressed frustration while demanding more customisation options such as setting the Following feed as default.

Meta seems to be focused on keeping its Threads audience engaged by listening to feedback and offering more personalisation as more and more users increasingly explore alternatives like Bluesky.

The new features mentioned here are currently rolling out to select users, a Meta spokesperson informed TechCrunch.

Q2. How can users set their preferred default feed in Threads?

Answer. To set your preferred default feed, open the Threads app, tap and hold any feed name at the top, select “Edit feeds,” and drag your favourite feed to the top spot.
