 While many were impressed by the pocket friendly design of the OnePlus 13T (OnePlus 13s in the global market), one of its biggest highlights was the massive 6,260mAh battery pack (5850mAh on the 13s). But the brand could be taking battery life to the next level on this model’s successor. The latest leak from a known tipster Smart Pikachu has revealed battery details of the upcoming OnePlus 15T. |  Xiaomi has rolled out the latest HyperOS 3.0.17.0 update to the Xiaomi 17 Pro series (full review), adding new features and system optimizations.

The new firmware enables dynamic rear display notifications, allowing users to view 12306 train trip (Chinese service for railway bookings) reminders on the secondary screen. |
 It took seven generations for Apple to give the iPhone a real redesign. The iPhone 17 series, especially the Pro and Pro Max, introduces a new camera plateau layout that finally sets it apart from years of lookalike predecessors. The changes aren’t just on the outside. There’s plenty of new happening under the hood, too. While the standard iPhone 17 doesn’t look much different from its predecessor, it probably brings the most meaningful set of upgrades. |  HyperOS 3 is a major upgrade for Xiaomi devices, bringing a refreshed UI with Xiaomi HyperIsland, expanded AI features, and deeper cross-device integration, particularly with Apple devices. There are also dozens of under-the-hood improvements to further improve the software’s smoothness, performance, and battery efficiency. The Android 16-based update is already rolling out in China, and it will soon begin rolling out to the rest of the world. |
