Xiaomi 16 Series Officially Teased, Hinting At Major Changes, HyperOS 3 and New Pro Mini Model Likely on the Way

0

Highlights

  • Xiaomi 16 Series will redefine product positioning with four models, Xiaomi 16, 16 Pro, 16 Pro Mini (compact flagship) and 16 Ultra.
  • The series will debut Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 and launch with HyperOS 3, featuring Dynamic Island-like animations.
  • The base Xiaomi 16 is expected to offer a 6.3-inch display, 6800mAh battery and 100W fast charging.

Xiaomi recently celebrated its 14th anniversary, and company president Lu Weibing marked the occasion by sharing a video highlighting some of Xiaomi’s most iconic smartphones. Towards the end, he shifted focus to the future, teasing big changes for the upcoming Xiaomi 16 series. While specifics were limited, his remarks suggested a major shift in strategy.

Xiaomi 16 Series to Redefine Product Positioning

Lu Weibing confirmed that Xiaomi’s next-generation digital series will see a complete overhaul in both definition and positioning. Industry watchers believe he was directly referencing the Xiaomi 16 lineup, set to debut in September.

Reports also indicate that these devices will be the first to run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset, delivering a significant performance leap.

A major addition to the lineup could be a smaller flagship under the Pro category. Unlike earlier years, the Pro series is tipped to include a compact 6.3-inch variant alongside the standard 6.8-inch model. While leaks are calling it the Xiaomi 16 Pro Mini, the final name may differ.

HyperOS 3 and Dynamic Island-Like Features

The Xiaomi 16 series is also rumoured to launch with HyperOS 3, the next version of Xiaomi’s in-house software. This may actually be the bigger headline, given the new features being tested.

One of them borrows inspiration from Apple’s Dynamic Island, but Xiaomi seems to be putting its own twist on it. Instead of leaving blank space around the punch-hole, Xiaomi is reportedly adding adaptive, pill-shaped notifications with animations, live updates, and contextual information, essentially turning wasted pixels into a functional, stylish feature.

Faster Rollout for HyperOS 3

Interestingly, Xiaomi is planning a faster-than-usual global release for HyperOS 3. The domestic launch is scheduled for September, followed by a rollout in India, Europe, and Southeast Asia as early as October or November 2025.

This speed is unusual for Xiaomi, which typically staggers updates over several months. The accelerated timeline is believed to be linked to the early arrival of Android 16, which allowed Xiaomi to fast-track HyperOS development. For international users, this means much shorter waiting times.

The Standard Xiaomi 16 Model – What to Expect?

When it comes to hardware, the base Xiaomi 16 will largely stick to the design language of the Xiaomi 15, but with significant internal upgrades. Based on leaks, here’s what’s expected –

  • Display size between 32 and 6.36 inches
  • A massive 6800mAh battery, far larger than most flagships in its class
  • 100W fast charging support
  • Performance optimisations aimed at smoother multitasking and better thermal control

Standout feature is the nearly 7000mAh battery with 100W charging. It is rarely seen in the flagship space, where most competitors still offer around 4500–5000mAh.

Four Models in the Xiaomi 16 Lineup

The series is expected to launch with four models, which will include the Xiaomi 16, Xiaomi 16 Pro, Xiaomi 16 Pro Mini, and later the Xiaomi 16 Ultra. The addition of the Pro Mini is likely the key shift Lu Weibing hinted at.

As for the Ultra, it is expected to debut next year in China.

FAQs

Q1. What models will be included in the Xiaomi 16 Series?

Answer. The lineup will feature Xiaomi 16, 16 Pro, 16 Pro Mini, and 16 Ultra.

Q2. What software and chipset will the Xiaomi 16 Series use?

Answer. It will run HyperOS 3 and be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset.

Q3. What are the key features of the standard Xiaomi 16?

Answer. It’s expected to have a 6.3-inch display, a 6800mAh battery, and 100W fast charging.

0

Highlights

  • Apple Watch sales in early 2025 exceeded expectations by 10%.
  • The Apple Watch Series 11 may introduce blood pressure tracking and Apple Intelligence features.
  • The 2026 Apple Watch lineup is expected to feature double the sensor components, a redesigned exterior and significantly improved power efficiency.

According to a recent report, Apple Watch sales in the first half of 2025 were about 10% higher than expected. The DigiTimes Asia report further reveals key details on what Apple is planning for its 2026 Apple Watch lineup. And it appears the Cupertino giant could bring some of the most notable upgrades in years. Here’s everything we know based on the recent report.

Apple Watch 2025 Performs Better Than Expected

According to the report, sales are on track for a strong third-quarter peak season, following a challenging but ultimately successful few months.

Report reads, “Despite challenges from tariffs and macroeconomic factors dampening consumer electronics demand, the supply chain confirms that Apple’s early procurement in the first half of 2025 is outperforming initial forecasts by approximately 10%.”

The Apple Watch Series 11 lineup, which will include the Apple Watch Ultra 3, is rumoured to introduce blood pressure detection alongside the Apple Intelligence-powered features announced at WWDC25 for watchOS 26.

However, the report clarifies that non-invasive blood glucose monitoring remains out of reach due to “medical regulations, technological development, and patent disputes.” In its early version, the blood pressure tool will reportedly focus on tracking trends and providing abnormality alerts much like how Apple’s recent additions such as temperature monitoring, function today.

2026 Apple Watch Lineup – What To Expect?

The same report also claims that Apple’s 2026 Apple Watch models will concentrate on three key areas, which are new sensors, a potential redesign and better efficiency. It writes, “First, the number of sensor components will double; second, there will be alterations to the exterior design; and third, power efficiency will improve significantly.”

While it doesn’t specify which sensors are coming, it notes that Apple aims to reduce reliance on algorithm-based data interpretation, which could lead to improved performance and longer battery life.

As for design, rumours suggest the high-end model may undergo a major redesign. However, the circular sensor array on the back of the Apple Watch is expected to remain unchanged, even as Apple doubles the number of sensors.

FAQs

Q1. How did Apple Watch sales perform in early 2025?

Answer. Apple Watch sales in the first half of 2025 were about 10% higher than expected, outperforming forecasts despite challenges like tariffs and weak consumer electronics demand.

Q2. What health features are expected in the Apple Watch Series 11?

Answer. Series 11 may introduce blood pressure tracking and Apple Intelligence-powered features via watchOS 26. However, non-invasive blood glucose monitoring is still not ready due to regulatory and technical hurdles.

Q3. What upgrades are planned for the 2026 Apple Watch lineup?

Answer. The 2026 models are expected to include double the sensor components, a redesigned exterior for premium models and major improvements in power efficiency.

The official rollout of iOS 26 is expected soon after the upcoming iPhone lineup is unveiled later this month. One of the key new additions in the iOS 26 update is a setting called Adaptive Power, designed to use AI to extend iPhone battery life during heavy usage. Here’s everything you need to know about the new feature.

iOS 26 – Adaptive Power

Current iPhone users can conserve battery by lowering screen brightness, disabling Always-On Display, or, in critical moments, enabling Low Power Mode to reduce background activity. However, Adaptive Power takes a smarter approach.

Instead of running constantly, it activates only during power-hungry tasks such as video recording, photo editing, or gaming.

When in use, Adaptive Power makes subtle performance adjustments to stretch battery life.

Apple describes the feature as follows, “When your battery usage is higher than usual, iPhone can make small performance adjustments to extend your battery life, including slightly lowering the display brightness or allowing some activities to take a little longer. Low Power Mode may turn on at 20%.”

iPhones That Support Adaptive Power

Apple hasn’t officially tied Adaptive Power to Apple Intelligence, but user reports suggest the feature only shows up on iPhones that support Apple Intelligence. Older models do not have the setting available.

This is why the Adaptive Power feature is only available on newer devices, list of which is as follows –

  • iPhone 15 Pro
  • iPhone 15 Pro Max
  • iPhone 16
  • iPhone 16 Plus
  • iPhone 16 Pro
  • iPhone 16 Pro Max
  • iPhone 16e
  • iPhone 17 lineup

How to Enable Adaptive Power in iOS 26?

Adaptive Power isn’t switched on by default. If you have a compatible iPhone, here’s how you can enable this feature  –

  • Make sure your device is running the iOS 26 Developer or Public Beta.
  • Navigate to Settings > Battery > Power Mode.
  • Adaptive Power feature will appear on top of the Low Power Mode.
  • Turn it on to activate intelligent battery optimisation.

FAQs

Q1. What is Adaptive Power in iOS 26 and how does it work?

Answer. Adaptive Power is a feature in iOS 26 that uses AI to extend battery life by making subtle performance adjustments during power-intensive tasks like gaming, video recording, or photo editing.

Q2. Which iPhones support the Adaptive Power feature?

Answer. Adaptive Power is supported only on newer iPhones that include Apple Intelligence, such as the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, the entire iPhone 16 series, and the iPhone 17 lineup.

Q3. How can I enable Adaptive Power on my iPhone?

Answer. To enable Adaptive Power, your iPhone must be running the iOS 26 Developer or Public Beta; then go to Settings > Battery > Power Mode and toggle on Adaptive Power, which appears above Low Power Mode.

Known for regularly sharing tech updates, tipster Majin Bu on X (formerly Twitter) has now shared images allegedly showing the iPhone 17 Pro’s SIM card slot. The images indicate that the Pro and Pro Max may still include a physical slot, at least in some regions.

That said, the authenticity of the images cannot be independently verified, so this leak should be taken with a pinch of salt.

Beyond this, the iPhone 17 Pro is also rumoured to start with 256GB of storage and feature repositioned antennas to deliver stronger and more reliable connectivity. The long-rumoured redesigned camera island has also been reinforced by fresh details from case maker dbrand.

The iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max are set to debut a new rear camera module design. Although leaked renders have shown it before, case makers usually receive precise dimensions in advance, making this reveal more reliable.

dbrand’s Tank case shows a raised top section around the cameras, confirming the redesigned island. The case also highlights the Camera Control button, Action button, Power button, and volume keys. While the case itself looks bulky and doesn’t showcase finer design details, it provides clear evidence of the updated layout.

The dbrand Tank case will launch in September for the entire iPhone 17 lineup.

Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max at its September 9 event.

FAQs

Q1. Will the iPhone 17 Pro have a physical SIM card slot?

Answer. Yes, according to leaked images shared by tipster Majin Bu, the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max may still include a physical SIM slot in certain regions, contrary to earlier rumours of a global eSIM-only approach. However, the authenticity of these images hasn’t been independently verified.

Q2. What changes are expected in the iPhone 17 Pro’s camera design?

Answer. The iPhone 17 Pro is set to feature a redesigned rear camera module, confirmed by case maker dbrand’s Tank case. The case shows a raised top section around the cameras and includes layout details like the Camera Control button, Action button, and repositioned antennas for better connectivity.

Q3. When will Apple launch the iPhone 17 series?

Answer. Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 17 lineup including the iPhone 17, 17 Air, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max at its launch event on September 9. Case accessories like dbrand’s Tank case will also debut around the same time.

Galaxy S26 Pro Leak Reveals Display Size and Battery Capacity

Highlights

  • The Galaxy S26 Pro may feature a 6.27-inch screen and a 4,300mAh battery.
  • Rumours suggest an extra NFC antenna for better tap-to-pay and file sharing, plus possible Qi2 magnetic wireless charging.

We already know that Samsung is gearing up to change a lot with next year’s Galaxy S26 lineup. Instead of the usual “Plus” model, the company is reportedly bringing back a follow-up to the Galaxy S25 Edge. The standard model will be rebranded as the “Galaxy S26 Pro.” But now, we have more key details coming and giving us an idea of what the Galaxy S26 Pro could offer. Thanks to a fresh leak, it sounds familiar in more ways than one.

Galaxy S26 Pro – Battery and Display Details

Caption – Digital Chat Station’s recent post on Weibo. (Translated via Google Translate)

According to the famous tipster named Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the Galaxy S26 Pro may feature a 6.27-inch display alongside a 4,300mAh battery. This is the second time the same battery size has been reported in recent weeks. For comparison, the Galaxy S25 came with a 6.2-inch screen and a 4,000mAh cell.

GalaxyClub previously reported that the Galaxy S26 Pro’s battery would likely be rated at 4,175mAh but marketed as 4,300mAh, marking a 300mAh increase over the Galaxy S25.

Exactly why Samsung is calling this new base model the “Pro” is still unclear. By size, it appears to be a direct successor to the Galaxy S25. Still, the naming could suggest a balance of features, a modest battery upgrade paired with the compact screen size typically seen in the entry-level flagship of the series.

Galaxy S26 Pro – Features (Rumoured)

Earlier reports indicate that the Galaxy S26 Pro, along with other models in the lineup, may include an extra NFC antenna at the top of the device. This would enhance mobile payments and file-sharing, bringing the experience closer to Apple’s iPhones, which are known for smooth AirDrop and tap-to-pay functionality.

On the camera front, the Galaxy S26 Pro is expected to retain a triple-lens setup similar to its predecessor, including a 50MP main sensor, a 12MP ultrawide lens, and a telephoto camera. It’s not yet clear if Samsung will improve the telephoto lens this time around.

Powering the device could be either the 2nm Exynos 2600 chip or the 3nm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 for Galaxy, depending on the region. Memory and storage options may include 12GB RAM with 256GB or 512GB storage.

There are also rumours that Samsung might add Qi2 wireless charging with built-in magnets to the Galaxy S26 series, making accessory compatibility simpler and bringing it closer in line with Apple’s MagSafe approach.

FAQs

Q1. What are the display size and battery capacity of the Galaxy S26 Pro?

Answer. The Galaxy S26 Pro is expected to feature a 6.27-inch display and a 4,300mAh battery, offering a modest upgrade over the Galaxy S25’s 6.2-inch screen and 4,000mAh battery.

Q2. What new features might the Galaxy S26 Pro include?

Answer. Rumoured features include an extra NFC antenna for enhanced mobile payments and file sharing, Qi2 wireless charging with built-in magnets for better accessory compatibility, and improved tap-to-pay functionality similar to Apple’s MagSafe.

Q3. What are the expected camera and performance specs of the Galaxy S26 Pro?

Answer. The device may retain a triple-lens camera setup with a 50MP main sensor, 12MP ultrawide lens, and a telephoto camera. It could be powered by either the 2nm Exynos 2600 or the 3nm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 chip, depending on the region, and offer 12GB RAM with 256GB or 512GB storage options.

Apple is just weeks away from unveiling the iPhone 17 lineup. And a fresh leak from Weibo suggests the iPhone 17 Pro Max might come with a special camera advantage not shared by the iPhone 17 Pro. Here’s what we know so far..

iPhone 17 Pro Max May Get a Unique Telephoto Upgrade

Each year, Apple introduces subtle differences between its two Pro models. Sometimes the only difference is size, while in other years one model gains a standout feature.

According to the leak, the iPhone 17 Pro Max may get a superior telephoto lens compared to the smaller iPhone 17 Pro, though the reason wasn’t specified.

Both Pro models are expected to receive a telephoto camera upgrade to 48MP, up from the current 12MP lens, bringing all three rear cameras (wide, ultra-wide, and telephoto) to 48MP.

While Apple is unlikely to restrict this upgrade to just the Pro Max, the leak hints that Apple may introduce an additional telephoto enhancement exclusive to the larger model.

iPhone 17 Pro Max vs iPhone 17 Pro – What To Expect?

Design –

Both Pro models may switch from the titanium frames used in the iPhone 15 and iPhone 16 to aluminium. The rear design could also change with a rectangular camera island in the top-left corner housing three lenses, while the Apple logo may shift slightly from its current placement.

The iPhone 17 Pro Max is expected to be around 5% thicker than the iPhone 16 Pro Max to accommodate a bigger battery, which could also make it marginally heavier. In contrast, the iPhone 17 Pro is expected to keep similar dimensions to the iPhone 16 Pro.

Display

Both models are likely to retain ProMotion OLED displays with 120Hz refresh rates. No major upgrades in brightness or resolution have been reported for either phone.

Battery and Performance

Battery life is where the Pro Max may outshine the Pro. Reports indicate the iPhone 17 Pro Max could come with a 5,000mAh battery, an upgrade from the 4,676mAh cell in the iPhone 16 Pro Max. The iPhone 17 Pro, however, is unlikely to get the same capacity bump, which could result in a noticeable difference in runtime.

Both devices are rumoured to feature Apple’s A19 Pro chipset, manufactured on TSMC’s advanced 3nm process. They may also be equipped with 12GB of RAM, the most ever on an iPhone alongside a base storage option of 256GB. The additional RAM should help with Apple Intelligence features, enabling quicker AI task processing.

Camera Setup

This year, Apple seems to be unifying the camera system across both Pro models, with each expected to feature three 48MP sensors for wide, ultra-wide, and periscope telephoto lenses. This setup would give both phones equal zoom and low-light performance. A front camera upgrade to 24MP is also expected, bringing sharper selfies and better video calls.

While in the past the Pro Max occasionally introduced new camera features ahead of the Pro, for 2025 no such clear advantage has been confirmed yet, aside from the rumoured telephoto improvement.

Pricing in India and Colours

Industry insiders suggest Apple could announce the iPhone 17 series on 9 September 2025, with pre-orders starting shortly after.

In India, the iPhone 17 Pro is expected to start at around Rs. 1,45,000, while the iPhone 17 Pro Max may be priced near Rs. 1,64,990. Both models may launch in White, Black, Dark Blue, Orange, and Grey colour options.

FAQS

Q1. What is the key camera difference between the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max?

Q2. How does the battery capacity differ between the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max?

Answer. The iPhone 17 Pro Max is rumoured to include a 5,000mAh battery, up from the 4,676mAh in the previous model, whereas the iPhone 17 Pro is not expected to receive a similar capacity bump, resulting in longer runtime for the Pro Max.

Q3. What are the expected prices and colour options for the iPhone 17 Pro series in India?

Answer. The iPhone 17 Pro is expected to start at ₹1,45,000, while the iPhone 17 Pro Max may be priced around ₹1,64,990. Both models could be available in White, Black, Dark Blue, Orange and Grey colour variants.

Google’s upcoming Pixel series has been heavily leaked ahead of launch. Google’s major hardware showcase has shifted to August since last year and it seems to be working well. By moving ahead of Apple’s September event, Google gets a chance to attract potential switchers. With just days left until the official unveiling, last-minute leaks are piling up, here’s a full rundown of what to expect.

Pixel 10 Lineup

The Pixel 10 family for 2025 includes four smartphones, the base Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Joining them are the Pixel Watch 4 in 41mm and 45mm sizes and a new budget-friendly pair of earbuds, the Pixel Buds 2a.

Overall, the lineup feels fairly standard, building on the Pixel 9 series without major surprises.

Pixel 10 Series – Launch, Release Date and Availability

The Made by Google 2025 event is set for August 20. Pre-orders should go live immediately, with shipping for the Pixel 10, 10 Pro, and 10 Pro XL expected by August 28.

The Pixel 10 Pro Fold might launch later on October 9, following a staggered release pattern similar to last year. Buyers may need to wait longer for delivery if they pre-order the foldable model.

The Pixel 10 keynote event will include the following guests-

  • Late Night host Jimmy Fallon
  • NBA star Stephen Curry: Google likes the Warriors, while he was recently spotted wearing a Pixel Watch
  • Formula 1 driver Lando Norris: Google sponsors the McLaren F1 team with “Chrome wheels” and the Android logo on the vehicle.
  • Jonas Brothers

More celebrities are teased at the 1 p.m. ET keynote live from New York City (Brooklyn).

Pixel 10 Series – Design

image

Google is sticking with the Pixel 9’s design for a second year. The Pixel 10 looks almost identical, though minor adjustments have been made. The chassis dimensions are slightly different, which means Pixel 9 accessories won’t fit.

There’s also a new extra camera lens on the Pixel 10 and repositioned 5G antennae that could improve connectivity. In general, the design is unchanged but marginally thicker in most models.

Pixel 10 Series – Colour Options

The Pixel 10 will be available in vibrant shades – “Obsidian” (black), “Indigo” (blue), “Frost” (muted), and “Limoncello” (green).

The Pixel 10 Pro models come in “Obsidian”, “Porcelain” (white), “Jade” (soft green), and “Moonstone” (grey-blue) with glossy rails, while the base Pixel 10 sticks to matte edges.

For the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, Google is reportedly offering just two finishes this year: “Moonstone” and “Jade,” marking the first time the Fold skips black or white options.

Pixel 10 Series – Specifications

A leaked pre-release Pixel 10 Pro confirms a key update is UFS 4.0 storage. This means faster app launches, quicker file transfers, and improved on-device performance.

RAM and storage follow familiar lines, which is a 12GB RAM for the Pixel 10 and 16GB RAM for all Pro models. Storage starts at 128GB for the Pixel 10 and 256GB for the Pro, Pro XL, and Pro Fold.

Screen sizes remain the same as last year –

  • Pixel 10 – 6.3-inch FHD+
  • Pixel 10 Pro- 6.3-inch QHD+
  • Pixel 10 Pro XL – 6.8-inch
  • Pixel 10 Pro Fold – 6.4-inch outer + 8-inch inner (with slimmer bezels)

Other refinements include faster PWM support, higher brightness (around 200 nits more), and slight battery upgrades. These will be –

  • Pixel 10 – 4,970mAh
  • Pixel 10 Pro – 4,870mAh
  • Pixel 10 Pro XL – 5,200mAh (largest yet for a Pixel)
  • Pixel 10 Pro Fold – 5,015mAh

Charging speeds remain unchanged.

Pixel 10 Series – Cameras

This year, Google is creating more separation between the base Pixel 10 and Pro models.

Pixel 10 is reportedly moving away from the 50MP primary sensor, instead using the Pixel 9a’s setup (48MP main, 12MP ultrawide) but adding a 10.8MP 5x telephoto.

Pixel 10 Pro / Pro XL will same as Pixel 9 Pro, which was a 50MP main, 48MP ultrawide, 48MP 5x telephoto, and a 42MP selfie shooter, with new features like 100x zoom and telephoto macro.

Pixel 10 Pro Fold will offer a 48MP main, 10.5MP ultrawide, 10.8MP 5x telephoto, plus dual 10MP selfie cameras inside and out.

A new “Camera Coach” feature is also tipped, offering in-app guidance on framing, lighting, and other adjustments, powered by AI.

Pixel 10 Series – Features

Google is finally adding magnetic charging support dubbed “Pixelsnap” to make the Pixel 10 the first flagship Android series with built-in magnets for Qi2 accessories like power banks and mounts.

In the US, the Pixel 10 lineup may drop physical SIM card slots entirely, requiring eSIMs. International models are still expected to support one physical SIM plus eSIM.

As for software, the Pixel 10 should ship with Android 16 pre-installed, unlike last year’s Pixel 9 launch that started with Android 14. On-device AI features (once rumoured as “Pixie” or “Pixel Sense”) haven’t leaked much recently, but multimodal AI support could debut with Android 16’s Material You Expressive updates.

Pixel 10 Series – Pricing

The base Pixel 10 is expected to keep the same price as last year. However, the Pro lineup could see a $100 increase, starting at $1,099, thanks to the upgraded 256GB base storage.

The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is likely to start at $1,799, going up to over $2,000 for the 1TB variant.

Google may also bundle perks like free Gemini Pro subscriptions during pre-orders, similar to last year.
