Apple is reportedly testing prototypes of an OLED display for the iPad mini, according to a well-known leaker. If you’re using an older model, it might be worth holding off on an upgrade, the next version is likely to bring a big change with an OLED screen.

Apple’s OLED Transition

Apple has been gradually introducing OLED displays across its product lineup. It started with the Apple Watch, then moved to the iPhone, and later to the iPad Pro. MacBooks are also expected to get OLED screens in the future.

The iPad Air and iPad mini are next in line, with reports suggesting that the new models will enter production later this year but might not go on sale until 2026. That same year, Apple is also expected to launch an OLED MacBook Pro.

Unlike the iPad Pro, which features advanced tandem OLED panels, the iPad Air and iPad mini are likely to use more affordable conventional OLED screens to keep costs down.

Apple Evaluating OLED Display Prototypes

A recent Weibo post by leaker Digital Chat Station (DCS) suggests that Apple is currently testing an OLED display from Samsung for the iPad mini. While the machine-translated post is a bit unclear, the message is straightforward.

DCS wrote, “This year’s mainstream brands have 3 small tablets of about 8.8 inches, two LCDs, one OLED, and three flagship chips with different platforms. In addition, iPad is also evaluating small-sized OLEDs.”

When asked whether the display would support ProMotion (120Hz refresh rate), the leaker said they weren’t sure yet.

Should You Wait for the OLED iPad Mini?

If you’re thinking about upgrading from an older iPad mini, it might be a good idea to wait. The most recent refresh, which came in October last year, was a relatively minor update.

That refresh included improved Apple Pencil support, better connectivity, Apple Intelligence features and a base storage upgrade to 128GB. However, beyond these changes, the iPad mini remained largely the same as its predecessor.

With a bigger upgrade expected in the next model, an OLED iPad mini could be worth waiting for, especially if display quality is a priority for you.

FAQs

Q1. Is Apple planning to introduce an OLED display for the iPad mini?

Answer. Yes, Apple is reportedly testing prototypes of an OLED display for the iPad mini, signaling a major upgrade in the device’s screen technology.

Q2. When might the OLED iPad mini become available?

Answer. Reports suggest that the iPad mini with an OLED display may enter production later this year, but it is unlikely to go on sale before 2026.

Q3. Should users wait for the OLED iPad mini before upgrading?

Answer. If display quality is a priority, it might be worth waiting for the OLED iPad mini, as the most recent refresh brought only minor updates.

With a clear focus on bringing a decent smartphone experience at an affordable price, POCO C71 has checked all the important boxes for the segment. But how does it fair in terms of performance? Well, to answer that, here’s our hands-on Poco C71 review.

Poco C71 – Unboxing and First Look

Poco C71 – Design and Build Quality

Poco C71 – Design and Build Quality

Poco C71, design-wise, have changed quite a bit compared to predecessor C61. The phone comes in a smooth, shiny finish with a split grid design on the back. We had the Cool Blue variant for this review and it looks good. The colour isn’t too loud and the subtle camera module gives it is a perfectly balanced look.

The phone is quite lightweight at 193g. Moreover, the boxy body with rounded corners and flat edges makes it easier to hold. The volume rockers and power button that also works as a fingerprint sensor are on the right side, while the SIM tray is on the left. There is a 3.5mm headphone jack at the bottom alongside the Type-C port and an IR blaster. On the top, we have the speaker grill.

The plastic frame and body might not seem too sturdy, but for a phone in this price segment, the Poco C71 is definitely well-built. It also comes with an IP52 rating, which ensures some resistance to dust and water.

Poco C71 – Display and Multimedia Experience

Poco C71 – Display and Multimedia Experience

Poco C71 comes with a 6.88-inch waterdrop HD+ display featuring a 120Hz Adaptive Refresh Rate and 1640×720 resolution. At first glance, it seems to be a decent display for a phone in this price segment. One of the first things you will notice is the huge bezels all around the display. It comes with a 5.4mm chin, 2.5mm top and 2.10mm side bezel size.

The display, otherwise, looks decent enough to meet your everyday smartphone needs. It feels smooth in scrolling and we didn’t face particular touch issues. The colours appear decent and the picture quality while streaming is standard for the segment.

It comes with a typical brightness of 450 nits and a peak brightness of 600 nits. We tried using the phone in different lighting considitions. While it may not be enough to ensure proper display visibility during daylight when outdoors, you shouldn’t face any issues with the display visibility when indoors.

Poco C71 comes with some other features such as Wet Hand Touch Support, TÜV low blue light certification, TÜV flicker-free certification and TÜV Circadian Friendly.

Poco C71 – Hardware, Software and Performance

Poco C71 – Hardware, Software and Performance

Poco C71 is powered by a Unisoc T7250 Octa-core processor. This is an entry-level processor, which comes with two fast ARM Cortex A75 cores at up to 1.8 GHz and six power-efficient ARM Cortex A55 cores at up to 1.6 GHz. The phone pairs the processor with 4GB/6GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 64GB/128GB of eMMC 5.1 onboard storage. Performance-wise, all this adds up to offer a good overall smartphone experience for everyday use.

Our experience with the phone was quite good. There were occasional lags, but only when a few extra apps were open in the background. The phone, otherwise, was smooth for everyday standard use including browsing or YouTube streaming.

The brand claims a 308k+ score on AnTuTu benchmark, but as we tested it managed 264113 on AnTuTu  v10.4.7. We also ran the phone on other popular benching platforms and below are the results for reference.

Poco is shipping the phone with Andriod 15 OS right out of the box. It is also offering 2 years of OS updates and four years of security updates. The UI seems pretty clean for a phone in this segment. There aren’t too many unnecessary apps uploaded. And the ones you have can be easily uninstalled.

POCO C71 – Camera Performance

POCO C71 – Camera Performance

Poco C71 features a modest 32MP Dual primary camera and an 8 MP front camera. The camera performance is overall satisfactory for the price segment.

You can expect the phone to give you decent and clear pictures when taken out in broad daylight. The phone does struggle in low light conditions or during the night when pictures can sometimes come out noisy. The rear camera at times overexposes the shot, which can result in not capturing the scene in its natural lighting and missing some details. We also felt there was a slight delay in capturing the shots.

In any case, Poco has added some useful camera modes such as Portrait Mode, Night Mode, Time-Lapse and Ultra HD Mode.

Both the rear and front camera can capture videos at 1080p at 30fps. The video recording is average at best. Below  are some videos we tried to record in different lighting conditions.

POCO C71 – Battery

POCO C71 – Battery

The POCO C71 is powered by a standard 5200mAh battery with 15W charging support. For the price segment, the battery specs are solid. With moderate usage, this battery will easily last a full day. Meanwhile, heavy users might need to charge the battery by the end of the day.

Speaking of charging, a 15W adapter (bundled inside the box) is on the slower and can take about 2 hours to go from 20 to 100 percent.

Verdict – Should You Buy Poco C71?

Verdict – Should You Buy Poco C71?

For an entry-level smartphone, Poco C71 offers decent value with some standard features to support everyday smartphone requirements.

Amazon’s Bid to Buy TikTok Before US Ban Comes At The Last Minute

0

Highlights

  • Amazon has made a surprise offer to buy TikTok.
  • The offer came as the US deadline for ByteDance to sell its operations or face a ban approaches.
  • President Trump is reviewing proposals from buyers like Oracle and Blackstone.
  • The April 5 deadline looms with TikTok’s future in the US uncertain.

Amazon has made a surprise bid to buy the platform with the deadline for TikTok’s US ban fast approaching. According to reports, the tech giant sent its offer in a letter to Vice President JD Vance and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick as pressure mounts on TikTok’s Chinese parent company ByteDance to sell its US operations or shut them down.

Amazon’s Interest in TikTok

The US law requires ByteDance to sell TikTok to an approved buyer or face a ban, citing national security concerns. President Donald Trump, who returned to office in January, paused the enforcement of the ban on his first day back.

While he has hinted at extending the deadline again, he also expects a deal to be finalised by Saturday, April 5, according to Bloomberg.

Even if Amazon’s bid doesn’t succeed, its involvement could influence negotiations. Competing buyers might be forced to offer more money, and Amazon could gain valuable insight into TikTok’s financials, especially TikTok Shop, which is becoming a serious rival to Amazon’s e-commerce business.

Trump to Review TikTok Sale Proposals

Trump is set to meet with key officials on Wednesday to review proposals from potential buyers, including Oracle Corp. and Blackstone Inc., along with other investors interested in a joint venture.

The deadline for a deal was originally set for January 19 but was extended once before. If Trump approves a sale, ByteDance and the Chinese government would still need to sign off on it, though their level of involvement in discussions remains unclear.

Trump’s Changing Stance on TikTok

Trump, who has millions of followers on TikTok, has acknowledged the platform’s role in boosting his popularity among young voters. However, he took a much stricter stance during his first term issuing executive orders to ban transactions with ByteDance and WeChat over security concerns.

With the April 5 deadline fast approaching, it remains to be seen whether Amazon, Oracle, or another company will strike a deal or if TikTok will face a ban in the US.

FAQs

Q1. Why is Amazon interested in buying TikTok

Answer. Amazon’s surprise bid for TikTok aims to capitalize on the deadline requiring ByteDance to sell its US operations or face a ban, citing national security concerns. Additionally, Amazon could gain insights into TikTok’s financials and TikTok Shop, which rivals its e-commerce business.

Q2. What is the deadline for TikTok’s US sale, and what happens if no deal is made?

Answer. The current deadline is April 5, 2025. If no approved sale occurs, TikTok may face a ban in the US due to national security concerns about its Chinese parent company, ByteDance.

Q3. Who are the other potential buyers of TikTok besides Amazon?

Answer. Other potential buyers include Oracle Corp., Blackstone Inc., and several investors interested in a joint venture. Former President Trump is reviewing their proposals.

According to the latest report, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE will be powered by Samsung’s Exynos 2400e chipset, the same processor used in the Galaxy S24 FE. It will come with 8GB of RAM, though it’s unclear if the US variant will use the same chipset or a different one.

The European version has been identified with the model number SM-F761B.

The Galaxy Club report reads (translated from Dutch to English via Google Translate), “We can confirm recent reports that Samsung will most likely equip the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE with the Exynos 2400 processor. This will be the Exynos 2400e variant that can also be found in the Galaxy S24 FE. The device comes with 8 GB of RAM as standard. Our information covers the international version of the device with model number SM-F761B, so we’re cautious about regional versions like the US SM-F761U.”

For cameras, the Z Flip 7 FE is expected to feature a 12-megapixel main sensor and a 10-megapixel ultra-wide sensor on the back, along with a 10-megapixel selfie camera. This is the same camera setup found in the Galaxy Z Flip 5, which was launched in 2023.

Other details about the device are still under wraps, but reports suggest that the Flip 7 FE could be a rebranded version of the Flip 5, upgraded with a newer processor.

It’s also unclear whether Samsung will retain the 3,700 mAh battery from the previous model.
