Samsung is working on the successor to the 5.8mm Galaxy S25 Edge, and the news is that it will be even slimmer than its predecessor.
Plus, it includes a bigger battery. Unlike the S25 Edge, its successor will launch alongside the alleged standard “Galaxy S26 Pro” and S26 Ultra, replacing the Plus model.
The latest news comes from reliable tipster Ice Universe, according to whom the Galaxy S26 Edge measures just 5.5 mm in thickness.
 A new leak suggests Redmi is working on a phone with an 8500mAh battery capacity. That’s nearly 1000mAh more than the battery on the recently launched Redmi Turbo 4 Pro, which itself packs a sizable 7550mAh cell. Even more interesting, Redmi is reportedly managing to keep the phone’s body thickness under 8.5mm. For context, many phones with much smaller batteries measure the same, or even thicker. |  While brands like Samsung and Apple still lead the charts in the global market, Chinese brands are steadily expanding in regions outside of Asia. Europe has been an attractive market for many OEMs, and Chinese companies are growing their presence with their innovative features, competitive pricing, and striking designs. So here are the top Chinese brands that are available in the European market. |
 DJI has officially entered the home appliance market with the launch of its first robot vacuum series, the ROMO lineup. The new series includes three models: Romo S, Romo A, and Romo P. DJI is positioning the Romo series as a high-performance cleaning solution powered by its advanced sensing and robotics technology previously used in its flagship drones. |  Samsung has long stuck with 45W charging in the name of safer charging, while Chinese smartphone makers have normalized 120W power intake. Fortunately, Samsung finally seems to recognize the need to speed things up and reduce downtime. Speaking of numbers, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is rumored to support 60W fast charging. |
