This weekend, Meta announced that they have managed to build an AI model capable of mind-reading with impressive accuracy. More on that below.
In other news, Xiaomi is quietly improving battery life, and Apple is securing Samsung's best displays (that Samsung isn't even using!).
Meanwhile, we're exploring the differences in Chinese phones across markets, and Arm might be entering new territory with Meta.
Here's what you'll find in today's tech roundup:
Xiaomi's secret battery update
iPhone 17's display advantage

Meta’s AI research team is getting closer to decoding human thoughts. The company, in collaboration with the Basque Center on Cognition, Brain, and Language, has developed an AI model capable of reconstructing sentences from brain activity with up to 80% accuracy.
The research relies on a non-invasive brain recording method and, according to the company, could pave the way for technology that helps people who have lost the ability to speak.
Read on to find out more details.
 There’s no doubt that HyperOS 2.0 packs plenty of customization options to fine-tune the system to your liking. But one of its more practical additions is a new battery-saving feature that’s rolling out to compatible Xiaomi phones—and it might be worth a look. The feature in question is called the “battery firmware update,” and it could help extend the life of your Xiaomi, Redmi, or Poco smartphone. |  Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 series has been in the conversation for a while. The latest news is about the display, which claims that the entire iPhone 17 lineup, including the new iPhone 17 Air, will feature Samsung’s latest M14 OLED panels. Interestingly, this cutting-edge display panel isn’t a part of Samsung’s latest and best for 2025, the Galaxy S25 series. |
 Chinese smartphone brands have a dual identity. The flagship phone you see in China often isn’t quite the same as the one launched globally. And while companies like Xiaomi, Vivo, Oppo, and even Huawei have pushed their global presence, there are still key differences between their domestic and international models. Some of these are technical, some are software-based, and others are simply about marketing choices. |  Arm could be planning its very own processor as early as this year. A fresh rumor claims that the chipmaker could be working on in-house chips, which might make its debut with Meta as its first customer. According to The Financial Times report, Arm is working on a CPU designed for data centers, but would carry customizability to fit the requirements of different customers. |
