 OnePlus co-founder Pete Lau has published a new community post that highlights the company’s next step in mobile photography. Without going into much detail at the start, Lau’s note makes it clear that a shift is underway in how OnePlus wants to approach smartphone imaging. For the past five years, OnePlus has worked with Hasselblad to refine color science and image processing on its premium phones. According to Lau, this partnership was not just technical but also a learning experience, embedding Hasselblad’s refined aesthetic sense into OnePlus’ DNA. With this chapter concluding, the company now prepares to take full ownership of its imaging technology. |  The Mate TV and Mate TV Pro were definitely the big-screen highlights of Huawei’s launch event yesterday. But the company also introduced something more affordable with the Vision Smart TV 5 Pro. The TVs come in 65-, 75-, and 85-inch sizes, with Huawei packing in a mix of fast refresh rates, advanced MiniLED tech, and its in-house HarmonyOS platform. The Vision Smart TV 5 Pro uses an LCD VA soft panel with 4K resolution (3840 x 2160 pixels), covering 95 percent of the DCI-P3 color gamut. |
 The most affordable model from Samsung‘s flagship Galaxy S25 series has just been announced. Samsung has just unveiled the Galaxy S25 FE as the latest Fan Edition device, bringing high end features, long software support, Galaxy AI, and much more. The South Korean tech giant unveiled the new Galaxy S25 FE with a tall 6.7-inch AMOLED display with an FHD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, up to 1900 nits of peak brightness, and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+ for protection. |  Huawei has officially launched the MatePad Mini, its latest compact tablet, alongside the Mate XTs tri-fold. The tablet features an 8.8-inch display, weighs just 255 grams, and measures 5.1mm thick. It’s also Huawei’s first real push into a “mini tablet” lineup that competes directly with the iPad mini. The MatePad Mini runs on HarmonyOS 5.1, Huawei’s latest operating system, and supports both cellular calls and data. |
