Good morning, tech folks! ☀️

In today’s newsletter, we've got Huawei launching their fastest AI chip amid US export bans, OnePlus limiting their compact flagship to just India, and Motorola refreshing their foldable lineup with bold designs.

Meanwhile, Apple's reportedly canceling a planned display upgrade, and Qualcomm might be returning to Samsung's manufacturing for their next Galaxy-exclusive chip.

Here's what you'll find in today's tech roundup:

  • Huawei's potential Nvidia challenger amid export bans

  • OnePlus 13s's limited market availability

  • Motorola's refreshed Razr 60 lineup

  • Apple's canceled anti-reflective coating

  • Additional reads about Meta's standalone AI app, LG's end of support, and Xiaomi's Android 16 testing

Read on for all the details!

Huawei might be stepping in to fill the void left by Nvidia in the Chinese market.

Following the export ban from the US, Huawei officially announced the Ascend 920, which is its fastest AI chipset. The timing of the announcement is oddly coincidental and could be arriving at a big cost to Nvidia.

For those unaware, the United States announced stricter restrictions on the import of AI chips, which affects chipmaking giant Nvidia significantly.

OnePlus has confirmed that its upcoming 13s smartphone, also known as the OnePlus 13T in China (check out our OnePlus 13T review), will launch in India soon.

However, it won’t be released in Europe or North America. Celina Shi, OnePlus Europe’s CMO, said the company currently has no plans to launch the 13s in Europe.

Motorola is doubling down on foldables in 2025, officially unveiling the Razr 60 and Razr 60 Ultra (also branded as Razr (2025) and Razr Ultra) for global markets.

Building on the momentum of last year’s Razr 50 series, the new lineup introduces smarter AI experiences, more powerful hardware, and a fresh new design philosophy.

Here’s everything you need to know about Motorola’s latest foldables.

Apple recently launched an ad campaign suggesting that iPhone 16 users may not need a case or screen protector, thanks to the effectiveness of its Ceramic Shield.

A leak from last month hinted that the iPhone 17 lineup would be even more durable, featuring a new AR coating on the glass to improve scratch resistance and reduce glare—similar to what we’ve seen on the Galaxy S24 Ultra and its successor.

But those plans have reportedly changed.

Qualcomm might tap Samsung Foundry’s cutting-edge 2nm node for the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 for Galaxy, according to SEDaily.

Set to power the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8 in late 2026, this chip could mark a big win for Samsung’s foundry, which hasn’t made Qualcomm’s flagship chips since the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 failed to match expectations.

As per a new report, the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 for Galaxy will be fabricated on Samsung Foundry’s 2nm SF2 node.
