Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Ultra is generating a lot of buzz, but there may be a downside. A rumor from a tipster suggests that the S25 Ultra’s S Pen could lose its Bluetooth connectivity. If this turns out to be true, it could change the way users engage with the stylus.

Apple has always been synonymous with innovation, and its rumored iPhone 17 Air is already creating a buzz as one of the most exciting devices in the company’s illustrious history.

The question on everyone’s mind is: Should you be excited for the iPhone Air?

Let’s dive deep into what we know about this upcoming marvel and whether it’s worth the anticipation.

While the HyperOS 2 rollout is incomplete, Xiaomi may have already started working on the next big upgrade, HyperOS 3.0 based on Android 16. We can expect performance upgrades, design tweaks, a more powerful Xiaomi ecosystem, AI enhancements, and a lot more improvements.

The upcoming HyperOS 3 update could be released sooner than last year as Android 16 is making quick progress.

OnePlus launched the OnePlus 13R last week, positioning it in the Rs 40,000 to Rs 50,000 price segment in India. The 13R addresses some of the limitations of its predecessor, the OnePlus 12R, with notable improvements such as the addition of a telephoto camera and a larger 6,000mAh battery.

The OnePlus 13R is available in two variants in India: 12GB + 256GB priced at Rs 42,998, and 16GB + 512GB priced at Rs 49,998.

ZTE has introduced a new version of its Nubia Z70 Ultra to mark the Chinese New Year. Named the Nubia Z70 Ultra New Year Edition, the device features a new design and additional accessories while keeping the core hardware unchanged.

The standard model, released less than two months ago in the global market, starts at $729 in the US, £649 in the UK, and €749 in the EU.
