The phone will feature a massive 6100mAh silicon-carbon battery. This new “Qinghai Lake” blade battery uses a high-silicon anode with 25% silicon content, which Honor claims is a first in mass production.

Honor says this is the largest battery ever in a foldable phone, beating rivals like the Oppo Find N5 (5600mAh) and even the upcoming Vivo X Fold 5 (6000mAh). The Magic V5 will also feature an AI Dujiangyan power management system, a proprietary tech that, according to Honor, delivers the “longest battery life” in a foldable, though real-world tests are still pending.

Inside the box, you get a 66W charger, a USB-A to USB-C cable, and a lightweight 29g protective case. The case wraps around the back and hinge, includes a camera ring that acts as a kickstand and leaves the 6.45-inch curved LTPO OLED cover display uncovered.

Design-wise, the V5 makes a statement with a red faux leather back, a gold-accented camera module, and a 3D-textured gold hinge. It folds down to 8.8mm (down from 9.2mm on the Magic V3) and measures just 4.1mm when unfolded.

Although Honor says it weighs 217g, the unboxing video shows 224g, possibly due to the pre-applied screen protector. The hinge is firm and clicks at 70° and 90°, ideal for flexible viewing.

Xiaomi is gearing up for a big launch event in China on June 26, where the much-anticipated second-generation flip-style foldable from the brand will be launched. Yes, we are talking about Xiaomi Mix Flip 2! With no Mix Fold 5 expected this year, the Flip 2 becomes Xiaomi’s only foldable for 2025. Here’s a quick recap of everything we know about the phone based on official teasers and leaks.

Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 – Design

The Mix Flip 2 sticks to the design language of the original with a vertical camera layout and slim bezels on the cover screen. It’ll be available in green, gold, and purple colours.

The phone is expected to be lighter (around 190g) and thinner (7.6mm unfolded) with a high-strength hinge and materials tested to military-grade durability standards. It’s also IPX8 rated, meaning it can handle water but isn’t dustproof.

Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 – Battery and Charging

One of the Flip 2’s standout features is its 5,100mAh battery, which would make it the largest in its class. For context, Samsung’s Z Flip 5 has just 3,700mAh. Xiaomi also adds 67W wired and 50W wireless fast charging, confirmed by Chinese certification listings.

Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 – Hardware

Under the hood, the Mix Flip 2 runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 “Elite”, just like what we expect on other high-end foldables like the Honor Magic V5.

Recently leaked Benchmark scores of 2835 for single-core and 8550 for multi-core suggest a solid upgrade from last year. It’s expected to ship with at least 12GB RAM, Android 15, and Xiaomi’s HyperOS 2.0.

Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 – Main Display

The inner screen is a 6.85-inch LTPO AMOLED panel with 1.5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, making it one of the taller flip phones out there, great for scroll-heavy apps. The outer screen is getting a size bump too, now 4.01 inches with curved edges, offering more room for widgets, notifications, and quick tasks.

Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 – Leica Cameras

The Mix Flip 2 is expected to carry a 50MP main camera with OIS and a 50MP ultra-wide lens. Leica’s branding returns too, though Xiaomi usually handles the tuning itself. Still, the collaboration adds premium appeal in a competitive space.

Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 – Other Features and Ecosystem

Other handy features include an in-display fingerprint scanner, NFC, and an IR blaster, small additions that fans will appreciate. With HyperOS 2.0, Xiaomi also aims to offer better device integration across its ecosystem, including tablets and smart home products.

No Mix Fold This Time

Interestingly, Xiaomi has no plans for a Mix Fold 5 this year. That leaves the Mix Flip 2 as the only foldable from the company in 2025. Whether that’s due to strategy, sales, or something else is unclear, but it’s a major shift as rivals like Samsung and Honor continue to offer both Flip and Fold options.

Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 – Launch Timeline

The Mix Flip 2 will debut in China on June 26, alongside the Redmi K80 Ultra and two new tablets. A global launch is expected in July, based on Xiaomi’s usual release pattern. However, Xiaomi’s foldables usually get restricted to the Chinese market due to the lack of software support or updates. This is one aspect where Xiaomi’s foldables haven’t been able to compete with other brands releasing foldables at regular intervals like Samsung or Google.

Meanwhile, the K80 Ultra might remain exclusive to China or arrive globally later as the Xiaomi 15T Pro.

Google has rolled out its most advanced AI-powered search called AI Mode for users in India. The feature is now available in English as an experimental offering via Google Labs. Here’s everything you need to know about Google Search’s AI Mode.

What is Google Search AI Mode?

AI Mode is built on a custom version of Gemini 2.5 and is designed to handle more complex and layered questions. Unlike traditional search, it gives detailed AI-generated answers, complete with relevant web links and the option to ask follow-up questions.

After a successful run in the United States, where Google says people began asking queries “2–3 times longer than traditional searches,” the company is bringing this next-gen search experience to India.

AI Mode is perfect for tasks like trip planning, product comparisons and step-by-step guides. These are tasks that usually require several separate searches, but AI Mode can handle them all at once.

Built for India – Voice and Visual Input

Google has recognised that users in India love using voice and visual search. More people in India use Google Lens than anywhere else. That’s why AI Mode lets you type your query, use voice command or even upload an image to ask a question.

How Does It Work?

AI Mode breaks the user’s questions into parts and runs multiple searches at once using a method called “query fan-out.” This helps it dig up hyper-relevant content from the web. It also pulls in real-time info from places like the Knowledge Graph and shopping data across billions of products.

To try the new AI Mode in Google Search, you will have to open “labs.google.com”. Then, find and turn on the experiment named “AI Mode.” After this, you will be able to try the feature by clicking on the “Try AI Mode” button.

You can also access AI Mode by clicking on the “AI Mode” tab at the top of the Google search results.

Builds on AI Overviews

AI Mode builds on the success of AI Overviews, which now reaches 1.5 billion people each month. Google says the feature has led to more than 10% usage growth in big markets like India and the US.

While introducing all these upgrades, Google says the goal remains the same and that is helping users discover great web content. AI Mode keeps quality in check using its usual ranking systems and new ways to ensure factual accuracy.

FAQs

Q1. What is Google Search AI Mode and how is it different from traditional search?

Answer. AI Mode is built on a custom version of Gemini 2.5 and is designed to handle more complex and layered questions. It gives detailed AI-generated answers, includes relevant web links, and allows follow-up questions.

Q2. How does AI Mode support multimodal input for Indian users?

Answer. AI Mode lets users type queries, use voice commands, or upload images to ask questions, catering to India’s high usage of voice and visual search, especially Google Lens.

Q3. How can users in India access AI Mode in Google Search?

Answer. To try AI Mode, users can visit [labs.google.com]), enable the “AI Mode” experiment, and then click the “Try AI Mode” button or use the “AI Mode” tab in search results.

Nothing is all set for a major launch on July 1, where it will unveil its first “true flagship” smartphone and the Nothing Headphone (1). These will be the company’s first over-ear headphones and thanks to new leaks and a certification listing, we now have a much better idea of what to expect.

Leaked Video Shows Unique Design

A video showing the Nothing Headphone (1) has surfaced on Reddit, giving us an early glimpse of its design. The most noticeable part is the unusual square-shaped earcups. While the design looks a bit unconventional, this shape might allow for extra internal space, which could help the audio drivers “breathe” better, possibly improving both sound quality and ANC.

Though the headband doesn’t fold, the ear cups rotate 90 degrees so they can lie flat. There are also multiple buttons and sliders for volume and playback control.

Live images from the database confirm its over-ear design with a retro-futuristic rectangular outer shell and a transparent cassette-style oval housing for the audio drivers.

While it’s still unclear whether the iconic Glyph Interface will be included, more teasers are likely to drop before launch. Colour options could include black, red and grey.
