Ahead of launch, Vivo’s Product Manager Han Boxiao (translated from Chinese via Google Translate) has revealed several performance-related upgrades for the X300 Pro on Weibo. He confirmed that the flagship will feature a custom-built Super Sense vibration motor (model 751440), designed with specialised alloy materials, improved electromagnetic solutions, and a lighter, more compact form factor compared to the existing 0816 motor.

Boxiao added that the new motor will deliver 2.2 times the bandwidth of the Vivo X200 Pro’s 9595 motor, making it the “most powerful” vibration motor in Vivo’s X-series lineup so far.

It will feature a 6.31-inch 8T LTPO BOE display with 1 nit minimum brightness, an APO periscope telephoto sensor, and a telephoto macro shooter. The device will also come with an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor and a high-spec USB Type-C port.

Meanwhile, the X300 Pro will sport a 6.78-inch flat display with ultra-slim uniform bezels. Both models will measure just 7mm thick, adding to their premium build.

The X300 series will feature 50MP front cameras across both models. The Vivo X300 will have a 200MP Samsung HPB main camera + 50MP Sony LYT-602 periscope telephoto camera + Samsung JN5 ultra-wide sensor.

Out of the box, the devices will run OriginOS 6 based on Android 15, with security handled by an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor.

Highlights

  • Nothing Ear (3) teaser reveals design with charging case now featuring a silver aluminium base and transparent lid, replacing plastic for a more refined, high-end feel.

Nothing is gearing up to launch its next-generation earbuds, the Nothing Ear (3) on September 18. Positioned as a more advanced option compared to the budget-friendly Nothing Ear (a), the new model is already creating buzz with teasers showcasing fresh design upgrades and features.

In a teaser video shared on the company’s website, the Ear (3) is shown in the familiar silver and white finish. However, the charging case this time steals the spotlight. While the overall shape and size remain similar to past generations, the case now comes with several notable changes.

 

“We’re upgrading our design craftsmanship to achieve the ultra-slim design of the ear buds, minimising the clearance between components, and we also re-engineered the metal antenna to a flat finish and controlled its thickness to just 0.35 mm, reaching the current industry limit. The new design features 100% anodised recycled aluminium on the case, as well as the introduction of smoother curves, a more ergonomic shape and a breakthrough Super Mic,” says the brand.

The case retains its transparent lid but now features a new silver aluminium base, replacing the plastic used in earlier versions. This shift to aluminium makes the Ear (3) feel more premium, though it also raises questions about wireless charging support since the underside of the case has not yet been revealed.

A key addition is the “talk” button on the front, alongside what appears to be a microphone or speaker next to the USB-C port. Nothing refers to this as the “Super Mic”, but it hasn’t disclosed full details. The pairing button also seems to have been shifted to the base of the case. While the exact function of the “talk” button remains unclear, it’s speculated that it could tie into Nothing’s ChatGPT integration.

According to Nothing, the Ear (3) earbuds are built with a 0.35mm-thin metal antenna and feature smaller gap dimensions compared to the previous generation, offering a sleeker and more refined look. The earbuds themselves have also been slightly redesigned for improved comfort during extended use.

The transparent design language remains intact, with the case lid and earbud covers retaining Nothing’s signature aesthetic.

With these upgrades, the Nothing Ear (3) is shaping up to be a more polished and premium version of its predecessors, combining refined design with new hardware elements like the “talk” button and Super Mic.

FAQs

Q1. What’s new in the Nothing Ear (3) charging case design?

Answer. The Ear (3) case features a transparent lid and a new silver aluminium base, replacing plastic for a more premium feel. It also introduces a “talk” button and a “Super Mic.”

Q2. What is the purpose of the “talk” button on the Ear (3) case?

Answer. While the exact function isn’t confirmed, it’s speculated to be linked to voice features or ChatGPT integration, based on Nothing’s teaser and placement near the mic.

Q3. How have the Ear (3) earbuds themselves been upgraded?

Answer. The earbuds now include a 0.35mm-thin metal antenna, sleeker gap dimensions, and a refined shape for improved comfort, while retaining Nothing’s transparent design language.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Pro Renders Leaked, No Charging Speed Upgrades Expected For S26 Pro, S26 Edge

Highlights

  • Leaked renders show the S26 Pro adopting a pill-shaped camera module similar to the Ultra with a slightly larger 6.3″ display and slim bezels.
  • Both the S26 Pro and S26 Edge are expected to retain 25W fast charging, unchanged from their predecessors.
  • The S26 Pro may feature a 4,300mAh battery and a thinner, taller body, while the Edge variant could pack a 4,200mAh cell with an iPhone-inspired camera bump.

Samsung is gearing up to unveil its Galaxy S26 flagship lineup next year. It is expected to include three models, which are the Galaxy S26 Pro, Galaxy S26 Edge, and Galaxy S26 Ultra.

While the Galaxy S26 Edge was recently revealed to have an iPhone 17 Pro-inspired camera bump, fresh leaks now give us a closer look at the Galaxy S26 Pro. Despite the refreshed “Pro” branding, it appears the design changes in the Pro model will remain fairly minimal. Here’s a roundup of recent leaks.

Galaxy S26 Pro Renders Leak

Well-known leaker OnLeaks in collaboration with Android Headlines has shared new renders of the Galaxy S26 Pro. Unlike the bold redesign of the Edge variant, the S26 Pro keeps things familiar, with its main tweak being a revamped camera housing.

Instead of adopting the large rectangular bump of the Edge, the Pro mirrors the Galaxy S26 Ultra with an elevated pill-shaped module, similar to the setup seen on the Galaxy Z Fold 7.

This aligns with Samsung’s long-standing approach of unifying design language across its product lines. The isolated lens design was first introduced on the Galaxy S22 Ultra nearly four years ago and Samsung seems ready for a subtle refresh. The Edge remains an ultra-thin outlier, but wobble issues across the rest of the lineup are likely to persist.

Another significant change is the larger display size. Much like Apple’s iPhone 17, Samsung is increasing the screen size on its entry-level flagship, though by a smaller margin. The Galaxy S26 Pro will feature a 6.3-inch display, up from the 6.2-inch panel on its predecessor, with slim bezels ensuring a compact footprint. While the size difference may not be dramatic, it helps Samsung match competing devices from Apple and Google.

According to Android Headlines, the Galaxy S26 Pro’s dimensions measure 149.3 x 71.4 x 6.96mm. This makes it 2.5mm taller, nearly 1mm wider, and around 2mm thinner than the Galaxy S25. However, the new pill-shaped camera bump extends to about 10mm, suggesting the device may still wobble when laid flat without a case.

Galaxy S26 Pro and Galaxy S26 Edge – Charging Speed

Separately, a new report from leaker Ice Universe @UniverseIce on X (formerly Twitter) claims that both the Galaxy S26 Pro and Galaxy S26 Edge will stick with 25W fast charging, the same as their predecessors.

This comes despite earlier rumours of 45W charging support for the Pro. If true, this will likely disappoint Samsung fans who were hoping for faster charging speeds.


Battery capacities are also tipped. The Galaxy S26 Pro may pack a 4,300mAh battery, while the Galaxy S26 Edge could feature a 4,200mAh cell. The Pro is expected to replace the standard Galaxy S model, while the Edge will take the place of the S+ variant.

FAQs

Q1. What design changes are expected in the Galaxy S26 Pro?

Answer. The S26 Pro will feature a pill-shaped camera module similar to the Ultra and Z Fold 7, a slightly larger 6.3″ display, and slimmer bezels, but overall minimal redesign.

Q2. Will the Galaxy S26 Pro and S26 Edge support faster charging?

Answer. No. Both models are expected to retain 25W fast charging, the same as their predecessors, despite earlier rumours of a 45W upgrade for the Pro variant.

Q3. What are the expected battery capacities for the S26 Pro and S26 Edge?

Answer. Leaks suggest the S26 Pro may include a 4,300mAh battery, while the S26 Edge could feature a slightly smaller 4,200mAh cell.

Spotify Finally Rolls Out Free Lossless 24-Bit Audio Streaming for Premium Users

Highlights

  • Spotify is finally launching 24-bit/44.1 kHz FLAC lossless audio, bundled into its Premium plan at no extra cost.
  • Lossless audio requires Spotify Connect or wired headphones while Bluetooth isn’t supported due to bandwidth limitations.
  • It is available now in select regions including the US, UK, Germany, Japan, and Australia

After years of anticipation, Spotify is officially rolling out lossless audio streaming. The feature was first promised back in 2021 and the best part is it is available to Premium subscribers at no extra cost.

Spotify Rolls Out Free Lossless Audio

In a new announcement, Spotify confirmed that lossless audio quality is now rolling out in select regions. To enjoy the feature, listeners will need to use Spotify Connect or wired headphones (analogue or USB). Bluetooth isn’t supported for lossless playback.

According to the company, “many devices” already support lossless via Spotify Connect including those from Sony, Samsung, Bose, and Sennheiser, with more brands like Sonos and Amazon expected to gain support “next month.”

Spotify writes, “For the smoothest and best listening experience, we recommend streaming lossless music on Wi-Fi using wired headphones or speakers on a non-Bluetooth connection, like Spotify Connect. Currently, Bluetooth doesn’t provide enough bandwidth to transmit lossless audio, so the signal has to be compressed before being sent.”

When enabled, music streams in 24-bit/44.1 kHz FLAC, which is a major step up from current audio quality options. However, it still falls short of rival services like Tidal, which supports 24-bit/192 kHz FLAC in HiRes streaming.

How to Enable Lossless Audio on Spotify?

Lossless audio must be enabled per device with an indicator showing whether tracks are streaming in lossless quality on Spotify Connect devices. On mobile, users can turn it on through the following steps –

  • Tap profile icon (top left).
  • Navigate to Settings & Privacy → Media Quality.
  • Choose where to enable lossless audio (Wi-Fi, cellular, or downloads).

As for now, the feature is gradually rolling out to Premium subscribers in Australia, Austria, Czechia, Denmark, Germany, Japan, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Portugal, Sweden, the US, and the UK.

Why the Delay in Rollout?

This upgrade has been a long time coming. Spotify initially announced the feature under the name “HiFi” in 2021, and it was reportedly ready for launch years ago. At the time, it was expected to come as a $5/month add-on, but in a surprising shift, Spotify has now bundled it directly into its existing Premium plan. While it’s not free on its own, Premium users won’t pay anything extra beyond their current subscription fees.

About the delay in rollout, Spotify’s VP of Subscriptions Gustav Gyllenhammar says, “The wait is finally over; we’re so excited lossless sound is rolling out to Premium subscribers. We’ve taken time to build this feature in a way that prioritises quality, ease of use, and clarity at every step, so you always know what’s happening under the hood. With Lossless, our premium users will now have an even better listening experience.”

FAQs

Q1. What is Spotify’s new lossless audio feature and who can access it?

Answer. Spotify now offers 24-bit/44.1 kHz FLAC lossless streaming for Premium subscribers at no extra cost. The feature is rolling out gradually in select regions.

Q2. How can users enable lossless audio on Spotify?

Answer. Go to your profile → Settings & Privacy → Media Quality, then choose where to enable lossless audio (Wi-Fi, cellular, or downloads). It must be enabled per device.

Q3. What devices support Spotify’s lossless audio?

Answer. Lossless playback works via Spotify Connect or wired headphones. Bluetooth isn’t supported. Compatible brands include Sony, Samsung, Bose, and Sennheiser, with more coming soon.

  • Nothing OS 4.0 based on Android 16 is set to roll out later this autumn with the Nothing Phone (3) leading the update cycle.
  • Teaser video highlights redesigned icons and a refined interface, positioning the update as both “refined” and “redefined.”
  • CEO Carl Pei hinted at a special program for early adopters, sparking speculation about possible beta access.

At the time of Nothing Phone (3) launch in early July this year, the company confirmed it would roll out the update “later this autumn.” Google officially launched Android 16 back in June. So, it is no surprise that Phone (3) is expected to be the first device to receive the new software.

Now, Nothing has begun teasing Nothing OS 4.0, which is built on Android 16. A short teaser video shared on the brand’s social media platforms gives a quick look at the redesigned icons and emphasises that the new update will be both “refined” and “redefined.”

As expected, the Nothing Phone (3) will lead the rollout. However, the Nothing Phone (1) won’t be eligible since it has already reached the end of its promised three years of software support after its launch in July 2022.

That said, Nothing CEO Carl Pei has hinted at something for early adopters. He revealed that the company is working on “a program” specifically for “day-one users” of the Phone (1), though he didn’t provide further details. This has sparked speculation that the Phone (1) could potentially get Android 16 in some form, possibly as a beta program.

While longtime users of Nothing’s debut device would certainly welcome such a move, Pei hasn’t made any firm commitments yet. For now, Nothing Phone (1) owners will have to wait and see if the company decides to extend Android 16 support beyond its original promise.

FAQs

Q1. Which Nothing phone will get the Android 16-based Nothing OS 4.0 first?

Answer. The Nothing Phone (3) is expected to be the first device to receive Nothing OS 4.0, which is built on Android 16, later this autumn.

Q2. Will the Nothing Phone (1) receive the Android 16 update?

Answer. Officially, the Phone (1) is not eligible as it has reached the end of its 3-year support cycle. However, Carl Pei hinted at a special program for early adopters, sparking speculation about possible beta access.

Q3. What changes are teased in Nothing OS 4.0?

Answer. A teaser video highlights redesigned icons and a refreshed interface, with the update described as both “refined” and “redefined” by the company.

Earlier, well-known tipster Ice Universe shared renders of the Xiaomi 16, showcasing bold design changes with slimmer bezels, rounded corners, and a redesigned front aesthetic. The device is said to use LIPO technology to achieve what may be the thinnest bezels ever seen on a smartphone.

The renders also reveal a smaller punch-hole camera and extremely rounded display corners, described as “the roundest corners in smartphone history.”

Sony Interactive Entertainment has officially rolled out a new dedicated parental controls app called “PlayStation Family” for both iOS and Android users. The app consolidates existing parental tools into one place while also introducing new features, making it easier for parents to monitor and manage their children’s gaming activities.

Announcing the app launch and explaining its features in a blog, Sony Interactive Entertainment’s VP, Product Management, Cory Gasaway writes, “At Sony Interactive Entertainment, we’re committed to providing safe play for gamers of all ages, including enhancing ways for parents to manage their children’s gaming experience. This includes the current parental control features available on the PS5 and PS4 console, such as playtime settings and age restriction settings for games. Today, we’re pleased to announce our next step in this commitment with PlayStation Family, a new dedicated parental control mobile app available on iOS and Android devices*. PlayStation Family app will be launching around the world starting today.”

While Sony has previously offered parental controls, the PlayStation Family app takes it a step further by offering real-time insights, flexible controls, and streamlined account setup.

Key Features of the PlayStation Family App

Guided Onboarding – Parents can easily set up a child account with a simple, guided process.

Real-Time Notifications – Get alerts about what game your child is playing, approve or decline playtime extensions, and manage restricted content requests directly from your phone.

Activity Reports – View daily and weekly activity summaries with detailed insights into a child’s playtime and game activity.

Playtime Management – Set time limits for each day of the week. Children can request extra playtime from the console, and parents can approve or deny from their mobile device.

Spending Controls – Add funds, set monthly spending limits, and monitor balances to manage purchases from the PlayStation Store.

Content Filters – Apply age-appropriate restrictions with one tap using preset filters for different age groups, or customise them individually.

Social Interaction Settings – Adjust privacy and manage how children connect, communicate, and interact with other players online.

Sony’s move comes amid increasing industry focus on child safety in gaming. Roblox, a platform where 40% of the user base is under 12, has also faced criticism over inadequate protections for younger players. In response, Roblox announced updates including expanded age-estimation technology and a partnership with the International Age Rating Coalition (IARC) to provide clearer age and content ratings.

With the launch of the PlayStation Family app, Sony is signalling a stronger commitment to child safety and giving parents more control over their children’s digital gaming environment.

PlayStation Family app is available for download on the App Store and Google Play in most markets.

FAQs

Q1. What is the PlayStation Family app and where is it available?

Answer. The PlayStation Family app is a new mobile tool for managing parental controls on PS5 and PS4. It’s available globally on iOS and Android devices.

Q2. What features does the PlayStation Family app offer parents?

Answer. Parents can set playtime limits, receive real-time notifications, view activity reports, manage spending, apply content filters, and control social interactions.

Apple AirPods Pro 3 Launched With Upgrades, But The Case Has Smaller Battery and No Charging Cable In The Box

Highlights

  • While the AirPods Pro 3 offer 8 hours of playback (up from 6), the case holds less charge, making the total battery life drop to 24 hours.
  • Apple no longer bundles a USB-C cable, requiring users to buy one separately or rely on wireless charging.
  • AirPods Pro 3 introduces double the ANC performance, a built-in heart rate monitor, and live translation.

Apple has officially introduced the AirPods Pro 3, a next-gen version of its premium earbuds. It brings notable upgrades like double the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) performance, a built-in heart rate monitor, and even a live translation mode. While these features make the Pro 3 an exciting step up, there are a few drawbacks that potential buyers should know about.

AirPods Pro 3 Battery Life vs AirPods Pro 2

One of the biggest changes comes in terms of battery performance. The new earbuds offer up to 8 hours of continuous playback, an improvement over the 6 hours on the AirPods Pro 2. However, the charging case tells a different story. The total listening time (earbuds + case) is rated at 24 hours for the AirPods Pro 3, compared to 30 hours on the AirPods Pro 2.

This means that while the earbuds themselves last longer, the case packs a noticeably smaller battery. To break it down –

  • AirPods Pro 3 – 8 hours (buds) + 16 hours (case) = 24 hours total
  • AirPods Pro 2 – 6 hours (buds) + 24 hours (case) = 30 hours total

Apple hasn’t disclosed the exact battery capacity in milliamp-hours, so we’ll need to wait for teardowns to confirm. Interestingly, despite the smaller case battery, the AirPods Pro 3 earbuds are slightly smaller (5.55g vs 5.3g) while the case itself is larger in size but lighter overall (43.99g vs 50.8g).

The Pro 3 still runs on the Apple H2 chip, while the case has been upgraded to the U2 chip for improved Find My tracking (the previous version used the U1 chip).

No USB-C Cable in the Box

Another significant drawback is that Apple is no longer including a USB-C charging cable with the AirPods Pro 3. As clearly stated on the official product page, “USB-C Charge Cable sold separately.”

This means you’ll either have to use an existing cable, buy one separately, or rely on wireless charging. While this aligns with Apple’s broader environmental push, the move has faced criticism and even legal challenges in the past.

Some customers see it as waste reduction, while others view it as an unnecessary cost-cutting measure.

The AirPods Pro 3 are priced at $249 and are available for pre-order now with shipping set to begin on September 19. For those looking to save money, the AirPods Pro 2 remain available at $199 (20% off), making them a solid alternative for buyers not ready to jump to the latest model.

FAQs

Q1. What are the key upgrades in AirPods Pro 3?

Answer. AirPods Pro 3 feature double the Active Noise Cancellation, a built-in heart rate monitor, and live translation mode, making them a major functional leap.

Q2. How does the battery life compare to AirPods Pro 2?

Answer. The earbuds now offer 8 hours of playback (up from 6), but the case holds less charge, total battery life drops to 24 hours vs. 30 hours on the Pro 2.

Q3. Is a USB-C charging cable included with AirPods Pro 3?

Answer. No. Apple has removed the USB-C cable from the box. Buyers must use an existing cable, purchase one separately, or rely on wireless charging.

Q4. What’s the price of AirPods Pro 3 and are older models still available?

Answer. AirPods Pro 3 are priced at $249 and ship from September 19. The AirPods Pro 2 remain available at $199, offering a more affordable alternative.

Samsung Trolls Apple iPhone 17 Launch With #iCant Campaign, Targets Camera Specs and Lack of Foldables

Highlights

  • Samsung reignited its rivalry with Apple by mocking the iPhone 17 launch.
  • The Korean brand reposted its old “Let us know when it folds” jab and criticised Apple’s lack of foldables and delayed features.
  • Samsung also made fun of Apple’s 48MP camera setup and slow rollout of health features like Sleep Score.

Apple’s iPhone 17 launch event was held on September 9, 2025 and it generated massive buzz across social media. But amid the excitement, Samsung reignited its long-running rivalry with Apple, mocking the tech giant’s slow feature rollouts and lack of foldable devices.

Shortly after the unveiling of the iPhone 17 lineup, Samsung Mobile US brought back a sharp jab from 2022, resharing its old post that read, “Let us know when it folds,” this time adding the caption “#iCant believe this is still relevant.”

The message clearly mocked Apple for still not entering the foldable smartphone market.

At Apple’s keynote, the company introduced several products, including the iPhone Air, iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, AirPods Pro 3, Apple Watch Series 11, Apple Watch SE 3, and Apple Watch Ultra 3. Among these, the iPhone Air stood out as Apple’s thinnest iPhone yet, measuring just 5.6mm thick. CEO Tim Cook said it delivers “pro performance in a thin and light design.”

Samsung, however, took the opportunity to poke fun at Apple’s newest flagship.

Referring to the iPhone 17’s 48MP camera, Samsung posted on X/Twitter, “48MP x 3 still doesn’t equal 200MP #iCant!” Another jab targeted Apple’s delayed health-tracking features: “#iCant believe people had to wait five years for Sleep Score.”

As expected, Apple fans quickly jumped into the conversation.

While many defended the iPhone 17 series, some fired back at Samsung. One user wrote, “Stay relevant for the next decade.” Another sarcastically added, “Even we can’t believe that how folding phones are relevant.” Others reminded Samsung of past decisions, with a comment reading, “Remember when y’all said u wouldn’t remove headphone jacks where they at?”

During the launch, Apple executives emphasised the improvements coming with the new lineup. Kaiann Drance, Apple’s VP of Worldwide iPhone Product Marketing, described the iPhone 17 as “a big upgrade with powerful features that make iPhone even more useful in your day-to-day life, from the bigger and brighter ProMotion display with 3x better scratch resistance, to all-day battery life with faster charging, the A19 chip for powerful performance, a fantastic 48MP Dual Fusion camera system, and the innovative Center Stage front camera — our best front camera yet.”

The latest back-and-forth highlights how Samsung and Apple continue to use major product launches as opportunities to stoke their rivalry with social media serving as the battleground.

FAQs

Q1. Why did Samsung launch the #iCant campaign during Apple’s iPhone 17 event?

Answer. Samsung used the #iCant hashtag to mock Apple’s lack of foldable phones and slow feature rollouts, reviving its 2022 jab “Let us know when it folds” with a fresh twist.

Q2. What specific features did Samsung criticise in the iPhone 17 series?

Answer. Samsung targeted Apple’s 48MP camera setup, saying “48MP x 3 still doesn’t equal 200MP,” and mocked the delayed release of health features like Sleep Score.

Q3. How did Apple fans respond to Samsung’s trolling?

Answer. Reactions were mixed with some defended Apple’s innovations, while others clapped back at Samsung’s past decisions, including its removal of headphone jacks and relevance of foldables.
