• The COLORFUL iGame M15 and M16 Origo feature Core Ultra and RTX 5070 for smooth gaming and creative performance.
• The 2.5K resolution displays at 300Hz deliver ultra-smooth motion and accurate colours. 
• AI features include voice start-up, proximity unlock and cross-device control for a smarter workflow.

[/highlights]

At Computex 2026, COLORFUL has unveiled its upcoming iGame M15 and M16 Origo flagship gaming laptops. The new models target gamers, creators and power users with Intel Core Ultra processors, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series graphics and a slim, portable design.

iGame M15, M16 Origo: specifications, features

The iGame M15 Origo uses an Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus processor, while the iGame M16 Origo uses an Intel Core Ultra 9 386H chip. Both laptops pair that with a 115W NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU based on Blackwell architecture, with DLSS 4.5 and NVIDIA Reflex 2 support. For gamers, this should mean smoother gameplay at higher settings with fewer stutters. For creators, the same horsepower helps speed up video editing, 3D rendering and other demanding tasks.  

The laptops also feature 2.5K displays with a 300Hz refresh rate, a 16:10 aspect ratio, 500 nits brightness and 100 percent sRGB colour coverage. The 300Hz refresh rate makes fast motion look much smoother, which gives competitive players a clearer view of rapid action. The 16:10 aspect ratio gives a bit more vertical space for multitasking, web browsing and editing timelines. The 500-nit brightness helps keep the screen clear even in bright rooms, and the 100 percent sRGB coverage means colours look more accurate for photo and video work.

The cooling system uses dual silent fans, six heat pipes, phase-change thermal materials and quad exhausts to support up to 200W of combined CPU and GPU power. This helps the laptops stay cool and quiet under heavy load, so you can game or render for longer without thermal throttling or annoying fan noise.

COLORFUL has given the laptops an aerospace-grade aluminium chassis with Ink Black and Starry White finishes. The chassis is 19.9mm thick and weighs 2.35kg, which keeps it fairly portable for flagship gaming laptops. This means you can take the machine to friends' houses, co-working spaces or university without carrying an overly bulky device.

The company has also added AI-powered features through its Netsite Android app, including voice start-up, proximity-based unlock and smartphone connectivity for remote control and cross-device tasks. 

Market comparison

Compared with older gaming laptops, the iGame Origo's main upgrades are newer Intel Core Ultra processors, RTX 5070 graphics, 300Hz displays and AI features. These should deliver better performance, smoother visuals and a more convenient user experience.

In the wider market, rivals like the Razer Blade 16 (2025), HP OMEN MAX 16, Lenovo Legion 5i Gen 10 and ASUS ROG Zephyrus typically pair RTX 5070 GPUs with OLED 165Hz or 240Hz panels. The iGame Origo instead uses a non-OLED 2.5K 300Hz display, which prioritises ultra-high refresh performance over OLED contrast. 

The Origo opts for aerospace-grade aluminium, a slim 19.9mm body and AI features like voice start-up, proximity unlock and smartphone integration via its Netsite app. Concrete pricing and availability are not yet known, but the spec sheet suggests it targets the premium mid-to-high-end gaming laptop segment. COLORFUL will reveal full details during Computex.

• Based on the NVIDIA RTX Spark platform, Dell XPS 16 promises premium-level performance.
• The Tandem OLED display should ensure accurate and bright colour output.
• The Dell XPS 16 could compete with the MacBook Pro and Surface Ultra at launch.

[/highlights]

Known for offering premium laptops in a sleek form factor, Dell has today announced a major addition to its XPS lineup at Computex 2026, the Dell XPS 16 Creator Edition. Powered by NVIDIA's new Arm-based RTX Spark processor, the laptop aims at creators and developers demanding a premium level of performance for everyday productivity, 4K video editing and rendering, and smooth operations even under heavy loads. Just yesterday, the company unveiled a slew of XPS laptops and monitors.

What the Dell XPS 16 Creator Edition has to offer

The Dell XPS 16 Creator Edition running on the NVIDIA RTX Spark platform aims to bridge the gap between PC workspaces and personal computing by offering RTX 5070‑level graphics performance and an ultra-efficient CPU in a slim form factor.

The RTX Spark enables the laptop to run smoother playback on 4:2:2 4K timelines, faster exports, more responsive multitasking across complex 3D scenes, and compositing work, and a more fluid experience with AI-assisted creation. With up to 128GB of unified memory on board, the XPS 16 is one of the first XPS laptops to offer NVIDIA's full-stack AI platform and RTX technologies, ensuring swift workflows without compromising on the weight.

Then comes the other better half of the Dell XPS 16, its Tandem OLED display that features True Black HDR 600 for delivering accurate, true-to-life colours so that users can create projects and renders in the colours as they intended. As for the ports and connectivity, the laptop gets a built-in SD card reader for quickly offloading media and an HDMI port for connecting external sources with ease.

Dell XPS 16's pricing, release date, and availability will be announced later

The Dell XPS 16, when released, could go head-to-head against the likes of the Surface Laptop Ultra and MacBook Pro. With the laptop highly emphasising design, display quality, and efficiency over raw gaming power, it could be a highly suitable pick for video editors, photographers, designers, and developers who want a big, beautiful screen in a relatively thin and light body.

Dell has confirmed that the new XPS 16 Creator Edition marks just the beginning of its deepened partnership with NVIDIA, hinting at even more NVIDIA-based laptops ahead. While pricing, complete specifications, and the official launch date are yet to be revealed, most next-generation RTX Spark laptops are expected to arrive in the fall of 2026 at a price of at least USD 2,000, or equivalent to the latest generation of MacBook Pro on offer.

• Redmi K100 Pro is expected to debut later this year in September.
• The smartphone is shaping up to be performance and endurance-focused.
• It could also offer a versatile camera setup. 

[/highlights]

After details of the rumored Redmi K100 Pro Max surfaced earlier this year, there's now reportedly a Redmi K100 Pro in the making too, and if the latest information proves accurate, Xiaomi may be preparing another performance-focused smartphone. Redmi's K100 series is expected to debut later this year in September, so we still have time to learn more about the upcoming phones. 

Redmi K100 Pro specifications

According to a leak by Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station (via), the Redmi K100 Pro will feature a high-resolution display paired with an ultra-high refresh rate panel, likely positioning it among the most advanced screens in the Android flagship segment. While exact specifications remain undisclosed, a QHD+ resolution appears to be the most probable interpretation of the leak.

Under the hood, the device is said to be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. That's a step below the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 reportedly reserved for the more premium K100 Pro Max, but it would still place the K100 Pro among the fastest Android devices expected to launch this year.

Photography also appears to be receiving a significant upgrade. The leak points to a 200MP primary camera accompanied by a 50MP periscope telephoto lens, a versatile camera setup. If Xiaomi delivers competitive image processing alongside the hardware, the K100 Pro could challenge devices from Vivo and OPPO.

Perhaps the most eye-catching specification is the battery. The Redmi K100 Pro is tipped to house a battery capacity between 9,000mAh and 9,999mAh. Even at the lower end of that range, the battery would still be among the largest offered in the flagship segment. Combined with rumored 100W wired charging and wireless charging support, the K100 Pro could become one of the most endurance-focused performance flagships on the market.

The leak also mentions symmetrical dual stereo speakers, a large vibration motor, an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner, and an Apple-inspired industrial design. Full water resistance is reportedly included as well, potentially with both IP68 and IP69 certification.

For current Redmi K90 owners, there is little reason to rush into an upgrade decision yet, as the K100 series is expected to launch a few months from now, with September currently rumored as the target window. However, anyone planning to buy a high-performance Android phone later this year may want to keep an eye on the K100 series.

• The 10,000mAh phone from OPPO could join the ranks of the Realme P4 Power.
• The phone could be powered by a 4nm processor.
• The upcoming OPPO phone could be priced under CNY 2,000 (approx. Rs 28,000)

[/highlights]

At this point, it's no surprise that OPPO continues to push boundaries with every generation, especially when it comes to battery life and camera performance. As a result, it appears that the brand is working on an A-series smartphone that could pack a massive 10,000mAh battery. According to the known tipster, Digital Chat Station (DCS), OPPO is currently testing a mid-range phone with a single-cell 9,700mAh battery, which could have a typical value of 10,000mAh.

OPPO's 10,000mAh A-series smartphone details

Per DCS on Weibo, the 10,000mAh midrange phone, which OPPO has been working on behind the scenes, could feature a 1.5K flat display with LTPS technology. The tipster did not specify whether the panel will be AMOLED or IPS LCD, nor did they mention the expected refresh rate.

With a 10,000mAh battery on board, the phone could potentially last for days on a single charge with light to moderate use, as was the case on the Realme P4 Power with a 10,080mAh battery. During our use, the P4 Power achieved a highly respectable screen time of over 15 hours on a full charge, so it's fair to assume that OPPO's upcoming 10,000 A-series phone could offer similar battery endurance.

As is the case with most A-series and F-series phones from OPPO, the 10,000mAh-rated phone could heavily emphasise strong durability and drop-resistant build, as noted by DCS on his Weibo post. This should help keep the phone protected in the long run, especially for users who frequently drop their devices.

While unnamed, the 10,000mAh OPPO smartphone will be equipped with a 4nm mid-tier processor. Since DCS hasn't revealed the chipset's name, the speculated chipsets that the smartphone could inherit include the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4, Snapdragon 6 series SoC, or perhaps the MediaTek Dimensity 7500 or 7400

The leakster also drops a hint on the phone's pricing, i.e. around CNY 2,000, which converts to about Rs 28,000 (approx.) in Indian Rupees. This is actually in line with recent OPPO A-series launches in India. For instance, the OPPO A6 Pro 5G is currently selling for Rs 26,999 on the OPPO Store and gains a similar set of aspects, such as a large 7,000mAh battery and strong IP69 ratings.

• The smartphone will also come with 45W fast charging support. 

[/highlights]

Realme has officially revealed key details of its upcoming battery-focused smartphone, the Realme P4R. The smartphone is confirmed to debut in India next week as part of the brand's battery-focused P series. It's also the first time Realme is introducing an 'R' model in the lineup. The brand has already made a mark in this category with the Realme P4 Power offering a 10,001mAh battery, and the recently launched Realme 16T with an 8,000mAh battery. 

Realme P4R India launch details 

Realme P4R is confirmed to launch in India on June 10th, which is only a week from now. The smartphone will be available to purchase on Flipkart and realme.com. More details regarding its pricing and sale will be announced on launch day. 

Realme is launching the P4R in Titanium Glare, Silver Glare, and Lavender Glare colour options. The smartphone houses a customisable Pulse Light and AI Power Light for interactive notifications for gaming, music, and alerts. 

Realme P4R specifications

The highlight of the Realme P4R will be its massive 8,000mAh battery. The 8,000mAh Titan Battery on the Realme P4R is claimed to last for three days, which is a very tall claim despite the battery capacity. We still need to test the phone in real-world scenarios to see how it lasts on regular and heavy usage. The phone comes with 45W fast charging support, along with AI power management and Battery Health Engine, which, together, are said to ensure 80 percent battery health even after 7 years. 

The Realme P4R also comes with bypass charging for gaming and reverse charging, so that the phone can double as a power bank. In the mid-range segment, the Realme P4R is expected to compete with the OnePlus Nord CE6, which also has an 8,000mAh battery. 

The smartphone is confirmed to house a 50MP AI camera along with features like Motion Photo on both front and rear cameras. More AI features like AI Portrait Glow, AI Eraser 2.0, AI Ultra Clarity, and AI Unblur are set to arrive on the Realme P4R. AI Eraser 2.0 will allow users to easily remove unwanted objects from their photos, making editing simpler and faster.

In a recent leak, the Realme P4R's box price was revealed to be Rs 44,999, suggesting a higher-than-expected price tag for the handset. It's also speculated that the Realme P4R will launch as a rebranded version of the Realme 16T. The confirmed specs revealed so far suggest so, but we should still wait for official details. 

For now, the Realme P4R looks like a phone worth waiting for if you prioritise battery life. If you're planning to upgrade from an old phone, especially for battery life, the Realme P4R could be worth it. We're yet to know more details about the handset, so it's best to wait before making any buying decision.

Priced at Rs 12,999 for the sole 4GB RAM and 64GB storage variant, the smartphone will be available at a special launch price of Rs 11,999 when sales begin on Amazon from June 9th. The device will be offered in Regal Gold and Billionaire Blue colour options.

The smartphone will also be available for customer service through its Free Service @ Home program, which allows users across India to access after-sales support without visiting a service centre.

Lava Bold N2 5G specifications

At the heart of the Bold N2 5G is the octa-core Unisoc T8200 chipset built on a 6nm process. Lava claims the processor delivers an AnTuTu v11 benchmark score exceeding 500,000, positioning it competitively against several entry-level 5G smartphones currently available in the market. However, this also suggests decent performance from the phone for regular tasks. The handset also supports up to 4GB of virtual RAM expansion in addition to its physical 4GB memory.

The device features a 6.75-inch HD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate. While the HD+ resolution may not be as sharp as FHD+ panels found on some rivals, the higher refresh rate should appeal to users focused on everyday fluidity. Battery life is likely to be one of the Bold N2 5G's strongest selling points. The handset packs a 6,000mAh battery claimed to deliver up to 815 minutes of YouTube playback and as much as 743 minutes of screen-on time.

On the camera front, expectations remain modest. The smartphone is equipped with a 13MP rear camera and a 5MP front-facing camera, suggesting that photography is not the device's primary focus. Buyers looking for versatile camera systems may find stronger alternatives from competitors offering higher-resolution sensors or multiple rear cameras in the same price bracket.

Against rivals in the Rs 12,000-Rs 15,000 range, the Bold N2 5G stands out for its battery capacity, IP64 protection, and clean Android experience. However, some competing models offer FHD+ displays, higher RAM configurations, or more capable camera systems at similar price points. For users whose priorities are battery endurance, basic 5G connectivity, and dependable everyday performance, the Bold N2 5G presents a compelling value proposition. Power users, mobile gamers, and photography enthusiasts may want to explore alternatives with stronger hardware and camera capabilities.

• Google's Circle to Search has been upgraded to detect whole outfits.
• AirDrop Support will be added to multiple Android smartphones.
• The update should be rolled out via Google Play Services this month.

[/highlights]

Google has just announced the June Android Drop, which is set to bring a slew of connectivity, security, and productivity features to Android smartphones this month. Android Drop updates are generally released through Google Play Services, and don't necessarily require an OTA firmware to be rolled out. While the majority of the updates revolve around Google apps, such as Phone, Gboard, Quick Share, etc., let's take a look at what's new in this month's Android Drop.

AirDrop support with Quick Share will be rolled out to more devices

Since Google officially announced back in February that Quick Share will work with AirDrop on more Android smartphones other than Pixels, the support for directly sharing with Apple devices using Quick Share will be added to smartphones from multiple brands with the June Android Drop:

Google Phone can now detect impersonation calls

The Google Phone app will be able to detect callers who try to impersonate your saved contacts by spoofing their mobile numbers. While mobile number spoofing isn't possible in India, this new addition to the Google Phone could prevent scammers from going the distance to attempt money extortion or other similar illegal activities. This will be available on devices running Android 12 and above.

Google has always been at the forefront of protecting its users from digital threats and scams, be it notifying users of suspicious links on the Messages app or detecting impersonation calls.

Find the right outfit with Circle to Search

The update will bring the ability to detect the whole outfit in a given image, from the top to the footwear. Accordingly, Google will provide the purchase links of the detected clothing in one go. This appears to be a nifty addition for those always on the lookout for apparel or fashion inspiration. Circle to Search to find the whole outfit will be coming to Android devices running Android 14 or above.

Emoji Kitchen gets an upgrade

Emoji Kitchen is one of the most significant personalisation additions to Gboard in recent years. To make it work, all you have to do is enter two emojis (same or different ones), and Gboard will automatically generate a distinct-looking sticker that carries the flair and design of the emojis used. With the June Android Drop, more emoji combinations have been added to the keyboard, such as 'pink heart + rat' or 'ring + honeybee'.

Other updates

Apart from the aforementioned updates, the June Android Drop brings new features to the Personal Safety app to allow parents to add medical information and emergency contact details on their kids' lockscreen, while the Find Hub will notify you when a friend or acquaintance reaches the location you've selected, such as home or office.

If you own an Android device, this update could be worth waiting for as it potentially makes your phone meaningfully safer and more convenient in daily life.

• Nothing and CMF are expected to launch new TWS soon.
• Nothing Ear (3a) will most likely cater to the budget segment.
• Neo is a new branding for the CMF Buds lineup. 

[/highlights]

Nothing and its budget-focused sub-brand CMF appear to be expanding their wireless audio lineup. Two unreleased earbuds, the Nothing Ear 3a and CMF Buds Neo, have surfaced on regulatory databases in Indonesia, with the latter also appearing on India's Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) portal, suggesting an imminent launch.

Nothing Ear (3a), CMF Buds Neo listings

According to listings spotted by The Tech Outlook, Indonesia's SDPPI certification authority has approved the Nothing Ear (3a) under model number B193 and the CMF Buds Neo under model number B190. Both certifications were reportedly issued on June 2nd, 2026. Separately, the CMF Buds Neo received BIS certification in India on May 29th.

While certifications rarely reveal specifications, they often serve as one of the clearest signs that a commercial launch is approaching.

The appearance of the Nothing Ear (3a) is particularly interesting because Nothing only launched the Ear 3 last year. If the company follows its established naming strategy, the Ear (3a) would likely sit below the flagship model in both pricing and features. This is based on the role played by the Ear (a), which debuted alongside the premium Ear in 2024.

The Ear (a) launched as an affordable alternative while sacrificing some advanced features, but retains key strengths such as active noise cancellation, strong battery life, and Nothing's signature transparent design language. Nothing is expected to follow a similar strategy to the Ear (3a), which could launch at a lower price point, albeit with a few premium features missing.

The CMF Buds Neo, meanwhile, appears positioned to strengthen CMF's entry-level offerings. CMF is known to deliver feature-rich products at aggressive prices. Devices such as the CMF Buds and CMF Buds Pro 2 brought features like ANC, customisable sound profiles, and long battery life to lower price tiers that were traditionally dominated by brands such as Realme, Redmi, and boAt.

The "Neo" branding is something new, though, and it suggests the possibility that the Buds Neo could become CMF's most accessible true wireless earbuds yet. 

Since the Nothing Ear (3a) and CMF Buds Neo are expected to target the budget segment, it might make sense to wait for these products if you're looking for an affordable pair of TWS. While there are options from other brands like OnePlus and Realme, Nothing and CMF offer a distinct style in terms of design and features. However, buyers looking for premium audio quality and advanced ANC may want to consider a slightly more expensive tier.

• Motorola Edge (2026) features a compact 6.3-inch display.
• It has a triple-camera setup with a telephoto lens.
• The smartphone could launch as Motorola Edge 70 Neo in other markets.

[/highlights]

Motorola has unveiled the latest addition to its Edge lineup in North America, introducing the Motorola Edge (2026) as a feature-packed upper mid-range smartphone in a compact form factor. While the branding is specific to the US market, the Motorola Edge (2026) could eventually arrive in markets like India under a different name, potentially as the Motorola Edge 70 Neo, since the Neo lineup has a compact display among its siblings.

Motorola Edge (2026) price

In the US, the Motorola Edge (2026) will go on sale from June 11th with a retail price of $599.99 (Rs 57,300 approx). Pricing will vary depending on the market. The device will be offered in a distinctive Pantone Martini Olive finish, featuring an earthy green-gold tone and a textured twill-inspired rear panel.

Motorola Edge (2026) specifications

At the front, the phone features a compact 6.3-inch OLED 1.5K display with a 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ certification, and a peak brightness rating of 5,200 nits. The panel is further protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i. Despite a compact screen, you're getting a vibrant and bright display, which should make the viewing and scrolling experience highly pleasing.

Powering the device is MediaTek's Dimensity 7450 chipset, built on a 4nm process. The processor is paired with 8GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 128GB of storage. The smartphone should be able to handle regular to moderate tasks with no hiccups. The Edge (2026) ships with Android 16 out of the box and comes with a commitment of three major Android OS upgrades.

The camera setup is one of the more ambitious offerings in this price segment. The primary sensor is a 50MP Sony LYTIA 710 unit with OIS and4K video recording. It is accompanied by a 50MP ultra-wide camera that doubles as a macro shooter and a 10MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom and OIS. Selfie duties are handled by a 50MP front-facing camera. With a telephoto lens, the Edge (2026) not only offers a versatile camera setup but also gets an advantage in zoom photography. 

Motorola is also leaning heavily on AI-assisted photography. Features such as the Photo Enhancement Engine and Action Shot are designed to improve image quality and help capture moving subjects with greater clarity, areas where many midrange smartphones traditionally struggle.

The device packs a modest 5,000mAh battery with support for 60W wired charging and 15W wireless charging. Motorola claims that just seven minutes of wired charging can provide enough power for a full day of typical use, though real-world results will naturally vary depending on usage patterns.

The Edge (2026) carries both IP68 and IP69 certifications, protecting it against dust, water immersion, and high-pressure water jets. It also meets MIL-STD-810H standards for drop and shock resistance. The handset also comes with stereo speakers featuring Dolby Atmos and an in-display fingerprint scanner.

For users prioritising camera versatility, compact design, and clean Android software, the Motorola Edge (2026) appears to be a balanced mid-range offering. The inclusion of a dedicated telephoto camera and wireless charging is particularly noteworthy, as both features are usually available in more premium segments. If you currently own an older Edge series smartphone, the camera and display upgrades might be compelling. However, if you're not in a rush, consider waiting for initial reviews.

• ASUS brings RTX Spark-powered ProArt laptops and Copilot+ notebooks to Computex 2026.
• Zenbook and Vivobook gain better NPUs, OLED screens and much longer quoted battery life.
• The new V‑series desktops, ASUS Pad and Zenni Claw, also adopt ASUS's AI-first push.

[/highlights]

At Computex 2026, ASUS has unveiled a wave of AI-powered consumer devices spanning creator laptops, thin-and-light notebooks, desktops, all-in-ones and a new tablet. The company focuses on bringing more practical on-device AI and better performance to everyday users while improving battery life and design over previous generations.

AI creator laptops: ProArt P16 and P14

ASUS positions the new ProArt P16 and P14 as its first creator laptops built on NVIDIA RTX Spark, a platform that runs AI agents directly on the device instead of relying on the cloud. Compared with earlier ProArt machines that used standard CPUs and GPUs, these models promise far higher local AI performance and much more memory headroom for complex creative workflows.

ASUS pairs RTX Spark hardware with its Lumina Pro OLED displays, which deliver higher brightness, smoother 120 Hz refresh rates and less glare than previous ProArt panels. The company also bundles more AI‑assisted tools, including ProArt Creator Hub tuning plus MuseTree and StoryCube for content creation and management, so the laptops feel more like complete creative platforms than just faster hardware.

Everyday AI laptops: Zenbook 14 and Vivobook S

ASUS keeps Zenbook 14 as its premium thin‑and‑light all‑rounder but pushes harder into AI features and battery life this year. The new model adds options for Intel, AMD and Snapdragon chips with on‑board NPUs, giving users faster on‑device AI features and Copilot+ experiences than the previous generation. ASUS now quotes more than 21 hours of battery life, which should matter more to students and commuters than raw performance numbers.

The new ASUS Zenbook keeps the 1.1 kg weight but adds a tougher Ceraluminium lid and new colours to make the laptop feel more premium and personal. A refined keyboard, larger touchpad, OLED display and privacy features such as Windows Hello, adaptive dimming and Microsoft Pluton security deliver small but noticeable quality‑of‑life upgrades over older models.

With the new Vivobook S14 and S16, ASUS switches fully to Snapdragon X processors, which marks the biggest break from the previous x86‑based Vivobooks. This change brings much longer quoted battery life and cooler, quieter everyday performance, while on‑device AI acceleration helps with tasks like background effects and live captions. Aluminium chassis, OLED screens and MIL‑STD‑rated durability push these laptops above earlier, more basic Vivobooks that mainly targeted students.

The new Vivobook S14 Flip and S16 Flip add 360‑degree hinges and 2K OLED touchscreens with pen support, turning the same Snapdragon‑powered base into more flexible devices for note‑taking and sketching. Compared with last year's Vivobook convertibles, ASUS promises better efficiency, longer runtimes beyond 20 hours and slightly lighter metal designs, so users can carry and use them more comfortably away from a desk.

Desktops, all‑in‑ones, tablets and ASUS AI

On the desktop side, ASUS extends its V series with the V700 mini tower and V200/V400 all‑in‑one PCs, bringing AI‑ready hardware into tidier, home‑friendly designs. These systems focus on cleaner, minimalist cases and integrated displays, while still offering enough performance for home productivity, family entertainment and light creative or AI tasks without the bulk of a traditional tower.

ASUS also returns to Android tablets with the new ASUS Pad. The company centres the device around an OLED display in a very light chassis, so it offers a clear step up in entertainment, reading and casual productivity compared with its older, more basic tablets.

Finally, ASUS introduces Zenni Claw, an AI assistant experience that aims to tie this hardware together. Instead of acting like a simple voice assistant, Zenni Claw routes tasks between local hardware and the cloud, with a stronger focus on safety and everyday workflows such as travel planning and basic automation.

What's changed?

ASUS is pushing its mainstream range further towards on-device AI, longer battery life and better displays. The new ProArt P16 and P14 replace a more traditional CPU-and-GPU creator setup with NVIDIA RTX Spark, which promises better local AI performance and more unified memory for demanding workflows. The new ARM based approach should also mean you'll get to enjoy longer battery life in these machines.  

The new Zenbook 14 and Vivobook S now use Intel, AMD or Snapdragon chips with stronger NPUs, longer battery life and slimmer metal designs. That moves them closer to premium ultrabooks and away from the more basic student laptops ASUS sold a few years ago. ASUS also uses the refreshed V-series desktops, the ASUS Pad tablet and the Zenni Claw assistant to extend the same AI-first approach into family PCs, entertainment devices and everyday tasks.

• Vivo Y500 was launched in China last September.
• Three variants of the phone have been listed globally.
• The smartphone stands out for its massive 8,200mAh battery. 

[/highlights]

Vivo appears to be preparing a wider international rollout of its Y500 smartphone. The device has now surfaced on the Bluetooth SIG certification database, revealing three separate global variants carrying the model numbers V2627, V2634, and V2635. Interestingly, all three models are listed under the Vivo Y500 branding, despite having different model numbers.

The certification itself does not reveal any hardware specifications beyond Bluetooth connectivity support, but it does indicate that Vivo is actively working on multiple versions of the handset for different markets. At the moment, it remains unclear why Vivo is preparing three separate variants of the Y500. The differences could be related to market-specific features.

Vivo Y500: what to expect

The development comes months after Vivo introduced the Y500 in China. While the company has yet to confirm plans for a global launch, certification activity often suggests that an announcement could be approaching. If Vivo follows its usual strategy, the global Y500 models could retain most of the specifications of the Chinese version. In that case, buyers can expect a feature-packed mid-range smartphone with a strong emphasis on battery life.

The Vivo Y500 launched in China with a 6.77-inch FHD+ AMOLED display, 120Hz refresh rate, and HDR10+ support. Under the hood, the device is powered by MediaTek's Dimensity 7300 chipset, which is a capable mid-range chipset. It is paired with up to 12GB of LPDDR4X RAM and up to 512GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The phone runs Android 15 with Vivo's OriginOS 15 out of the box.

One of the biggest highlights of the Y500 is its massive 8,200mAh battery. Vivo has used semi-solid-state battery technology to achieve the large capacity while maintaining a relatively slim 8.23mm profile. The battery supports 90W fast charging as well as reverse wired charging, allowing the phone to function as a power bank for other devices. Large batteries have become the norm now, with brands offering 7,000mAh as the standard. The Vivo Y500 should easily stand out with its 8,200mAh capacity. 

On the camera front, the Y500 features a 50MP primary sensor alongside a 2MP depth sensor and an 8MP front-facing camera. Vivo also includes its Aura Light system to improve portrait photography in low-light conditions. While the camera setup appears standard for the segment, Vivo's Aura Light system could offer a noticeable boost for portrait enthusiasts, a common feature in Vivo's mid-range lineup.

The Vivo Y500 could be particularly attractive if battery life is a top priority. The combination of a large AMOLED display, Dimensity 7300 chipset, high-capacity battery, and fast charging could appeal to heavy users, frequent travellers, and mobile gamers looking for highly reliable endurance. However, since we only have the certification details so far, we should wait for confirmation. It's also not clear if Vivo plans to offer the same specifications as the Chinese variant.

• AMD launches new Ryzen CPUs and a new Radeon RX 9070 GRE GPU for 1440p gaming.
• AM5 platform support extended through 2029 for long-term upgrade paths.
• AM4 gets a final 5800X3D anniversary upgrade for existing builders.

[/highlights]

AMD has announced two new products for PC gamers at Computex 2026: the Ryzen 7 5800X3D 10th Anniversary Edition processor for AM4 systems and the new Ryzen 7 7700X3D for the newer AM5 platform. The company also introduced the Radeon RX 9070 GRE graphics card for gamers who want high-frame-rate 1440p performance without investing in a flagship variant. Let's check out these products in more detail below. 

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D & 7700X3D

The Ryzen 7 5800X3D 10th Anniversary Edition celebrates 10 years of the AM4 socket and targets existing AM4 owners who want one last high-end CPU upgrade without changing their motherboard and RAM. It is based on the original Ryzen 7 5800X3D, the first Ryzen chip with AMD's 3D V-Cache technology, and now ships with a Carbice Ice Pad thermal interface material in the box to simplify cooler installation and maintain better long-term thermals. AMD plans to make it available from 25 June at a suggested price of 349 USD (approximately Rs 33,000).

For those already on, or moving to, the AM5 platform, the Ryzen 7 7700X3D brings AMD's 3D V-Cache gaming performance to a more accessible tier. It offers eight cores, a total of 104 MB cache and boost speeds of up to 4.5 GHz, which should translate to good responsiveness and high frame rates in modern titles, especially at 1080p and 1440p. AMD positions this chip as a more affordable entry into the AM5 ecosystem that still leaves plenty of room to upgrade to higher-end Ryzen CPUs later, and it is set to go on sale from 16 July at 329 USD (approximately Rs 31,000).

AMD's new Radeon GPU targets 1440p gaming

Alongside the CPUs, AMD has launched the Radeon RX 9070 GRE graphics card globally for gamers targeting 1440p gaming. The card integrates 48 RDNA 4 compute units, 12 GB of video memory and clock speeds up to 2.79 GHz, and AMD claims it can deliver around 21 per cent higher performance at 1440p compared to a rival GPU in its class. The company is also relying on its FSR upscaling technologies, now supported in more than 300 games, to push frame rates further at higher resolutions. The Radeon RX 9070 GRE will be available from board partners in reference and factory-overclocked designs from 2 June, starting at 549 US dollars (approximately Rs 52,000). 

AMD is also highlighting its EXPO memory technology with ultra-low-latency, certified RAM kits for Ryzen systems. For end users, this should mean easier one-click memory tuning in the BIOS and the potential for smoother performance in games and content creation workloads, without having to manually tweak timings.

Upgrade now, upgrade later: AMD's platform strategy

A key part of AMD's message at Computex 2026 is platform stability. AM4 has already served enthusiast PCs for a decade now, allowing builders to upgrade CPUs across several Ryzen generations without changing the rest of their system. By promising to support AM5 until 2029, AMD is trying to give buyers similar peace of mind: they can invest in an AM5 motherboard and DDR5 memory today, or substitute Ryzen chips over the next few years instead of rebuilding from scratch each time.

Looking closely, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D 10th Anniversary Edition is a farewell upgrade for existing AM4 rigs, while the Ryzen 7 7700X3D and Radeon RX 9070 GRE target gamers planning a fresh AM5 build or a mid-cycle upgrade focused on high FPS 1440p gaming. Depending on price and local availability, these parts will likely sit against upper mid-range CPU and GPU options from Intel and Nvidia, but AMD's pitch rests on the combination of long-lived platforms, 3D V-Cache gaming performance and RDNA 4 efficiency.

• Redmi Turbo 5 will launch as a performance-focused phone.
• It's tipped to carry the same specs as the Chinese variant.
• Redmi has yet to officially announce the launch date. 

[/highlights]

Redmi has reportedly confirmed that the Redmi Turbo 5 will launch in India on June 16th. The upcoming handset will be the first in the Turbo series to arrive in India. The smartphone is teased to be performance-focused. The brand has yet to officially announce the launch date, but an official image shared by tipster Sanju on X confirms it. Redmi's product portfolio in India doesn't include a performance-focused phone, so the upcoming Turbo 5 would fill that space.

Redmi Turbo 5 India launch date

According to the teaser image, the Redmi Turbo 5 is set to launch in India on June 16th. That's around two weeks from now, so the official announcement shouldn't be long. The Redmi Turbo 5 is also confirmed to go on sale via Amazon. There's a dedicated microsite where Redmi is teasing the Turbo 5. 

Redmi Turbo 5: what to expect

Since it's speculated that the Redmi Turbo 5 will launch with the same specs as the Chinese variant, here's what to expect.

The Redmi Turbo 5 will feature a 6.59-inch 1.5K flat OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Powering the device will be MediaTek's Dimensity 8500 Ultra chipset, paired with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage, which should deliver flagship-grade performance. The smartphone could compete with rivals like the iQOO 15R and OnePlus 15R. One of the standout features would be the 7,560mAh battery, which is among the largest available in this segment. The battery will support 100W wired fast charging, potentially allowing users to enjoy multi-day battery life without sacrificing charging speeds.

The camera setup includes a 50MP Sony LYT-600 primary sensor alongside an 8MP ultra-wide camera. Selfies and video calls will be handled by a 20MP front-facing camera. The handset will also feature a metal frame and carry IP66, IP68, and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance.

Rumours additionally suggest that Redmi may unveil the Redmi 17 alongside the Turbo 5, although Xiaomi has yet to confirm the existence of a second device at the launch event.

The Redmi Turbo 5 looks especially promising if battery life and performance rank high on the priority list. The device appears to offer a compelling balance of endurance, display quality, and premium build features. However, buyers should wait for pricing details and real-world performance reviews before making a purchase decision, particularly as competition in the upper mid-range segment remains intense. If you currently own an older Redmi phone, this might be a significant upgrade, especially for performance and battery life.

• OPPO could add more visual flair to its Luminous Design framework with ColorOS 17
• Notifications and live alerts on ColorOS 17 could get a major design uplift.
• ColorOS 17 is still months away from being officially announced.

[/highlights]

If you thought ColorOS 16 on OPPO smartphones featured tons of glass and light elements, the bar could be set even higher with the upcoming ColorOS 17 update. According to a Weibo post from the renowned tipster, Digital Chat Station (DCS), OPPO is set to bring visual upgrades across the board that could make ColorOS appear more in line with Apple's iOS. While we're still months away from getting our first official look at ColorOS 17, here's what we've obtained from DCS today.

ColorOS 17 design could gain a major uplift in multiple areas

According to DCS, who has apparently sourced the information from a friend, ColorOS 17 is likely to introduce more liquid-glass-like visuals and real-time light rendering in several parts of the UI. Apart from that, the corners of the overlays or pop-up menus may gain harmonious rounded corners, a design strategy to make the UI appear more welcoming and user-friendly.

In the current iteration of ColorOS, i.e. ColorOS 16, OPPO follows the "Luminous Design" framework, which adds light and frosted glass design in the notification panel, app drawer, notification banners, number pads and buttons, and multiple first-party apps like Photos, Calculator, Phone, etc. So, if we are to believe DCS, OPPO could further revamp or improve how the glass-light design appears in these elements.

He also notes that real-time light effects could be added to notification pop-up windows and the music Live Alert. Currently, both the notifications and live alert overlays carry a Gaussian blur, at least on the high-end OPPO smartphones with capable hardware to render such effects. It'll be interesting to see how OPPO will incorporate light visuals to these areas, which have predominantly carried blur visuals for years.

How will ColorOS 17 be positioned among other skins

Apart from the revamped and upgraded visuals, OPPO is likely to further enrich the smoothness and fluidity of the software, as has been the case with every major ColorOS release over the past few years. AI features could also remain one of the strongest highlights of the upcoming Android software, as we've already seen on ColorOS 16.0.7, which recently debuted on the OPPO Find X9 Ultra and Find X9s.

OPPO, along with several other Android manufacturers, has embraced liquid-glass design elements inspired by Apple's iOS in recent times. For instance, Vivo's OriginOS 6 features glass-like elements across the lockscreen clock, Quick Settings panel, and other areas. Similarly, Xiaomi's HyperOS 3 draws several cues from iOS in its notification panel and Hyper Island animations. This appears to be a growing trend among Android brands, likely aimed at making iPhone users feel more at home when switching to Android.

For years, MediaTek has been the quiet giant powering billions of the world's smartphones. But at Computex 2026, the fabless semiconductor leader sent a clear message to the industry: the days of being boxed into the mobile category are over.

Armed with a sprawling portfolio of "Edge-to-Cloud" technologies, a formidable 30-year relationship with NVIDIA, and an aggressive strategy to dominate the PC, automotive, and data centre markets, MediaTek is positioning itself as the foundational architect of the "Agentic AI" era.

At the centre of this transformation is Vince Hu, Corporate Senior Vice President of MediaTek's Data Centre and Compute Business Group. In a recent interaction at Computex, Hu unpacked the company's ambitious roadmap, making it clear that MediaTek isn't just participating in the AI revolution; it intends to lead it.

Redefining the PC with NVIDIA RTX Spark

The crown jewel of MediaTek's Computex presence is its collaboration with NVIDIA on RTX Spark, a new class of processors aimed at powering the next wave of Windows 11 AI PCs. The SoC marries MediaTek's deep expertise in power efficiency, high-performance CPUs, and custom memory controllers (supporting up to 128GB of unified memory) with NVIDIA's undisputed graphics and AI dominance.

For MediaTek, this is a calculated push into premium personal computing. "Pound for pound, we just make the best chips in every category," Hu noted confidently.

But for Hu, the true revolution isn't just about the hardware; it's about how consumer behaviour is fundamentally shifting.

"I think in the future, people won't just talk to their PCs; they'll use them 24/7 to control applications," Hu explained. "Someone said something very interesting: most people don't use their mobile phones to make calls anymore. The same thing is going to happen with the PC. It's going to change from what it is today. You'll be able to tell your PC, 'Hey, take this email and...' The future is very bright. And you can do it locally, not just relying on the data centre."

Infiltrating the Data Centre

While local AI compute is critical, MediaTek is simultaneously tackling the massive infrastructure demands of the cloud. The company's Data Centre Solutions (DCS) division is working closely with top hyperscalers to deliver custom AI ASICs and advanced data centre platforms.

"This trend of owning more of a certain value is what most of the top hyperscalers desire," Hu explained, noting that MediaTek's strategy is to offer these tech giants the flexibility to bring their own designs and customise architectures. "When you look at all of our partners, we try to be flexible and start where they need us."

This flexibility is already yielding massive breakthroughs. Just ahead of Computex, MediaTek announced a landmark collaboration with Microsoft Research to develop an Active Optical Cable (AOC) powered by miniaturised MicroLEDs. By replacing power-hungry traditional laser channels with hundreds of low-speed MicroLED channels, the joint design slashes power consumption by up to 50% while offering the reliability of copper wire over a much longer reach.

"This collaboration leverages both companies' deep technology expertise... to solve critical industry limitations," Hu stated in the official announcement.

Driving the AI Smart Cockpit

MediaTek's aggressive expansion doesn't stop at the desktop or the server rack; it extends to the driveway. Expanding on its automotive partnerships, MediaTek announced a massive collaboration with Foxtron Vehicle Technologies (a Foxconn subsidiary) and NVIDIA to integrate the Dimensity AX C-X1 platform into next-generation intelligent vehicles.

Built on an advanced 3nm process, the C-X1 utilises NVIDIA's GPU and AI technologies to transform cars into AI-defined smart cockpits. From Agentic AI that personalises passenger interactions to 5G telematics and intuitive multimodal controls, MediaTek is proving that its chips are the central nervous system of the modern vehicle.

Expanding the Developer Ecosystem

To support this massive hardware footprint, MediaTek realises it must win over the developers. Hu acknowledged that while MediaTek has historically focused its developer conferences on mobile, the time has come to expand its outreach to include B2B, IoT, and data centre developers.

Because of their tight integration with NVIDIA, spanning from the RTX Spark to the mighty GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip, MediaTek plans to lean heavily into NVIDIA's established developer ecosystem. "For the hyperscaler side, we will have to work with NVIDIA because GTC is their central developer area, and we are proud to always be a part of that," Hu remarked. "We have a huge investment in our group... we have a lot to learn, but we also see a lot of demand for developers figuring out how to use our tech as we grow."

Whether it's bringing local AI supercomputing to a slim laptop, cutting data centre power consumption in half, or turning a car into a proactive smart space, MediaTek's Computex 2026 showing proves one thing: they are no longer just a smartphone chipmaker. They are the engine of the AI era.

• Galaxy A27 will be the third model to join Samsung's A series.
• It's expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset.
• Samsung has yet to officially tease the Galaxy A27. 

[/highlights]

Samsung's upcoming Galaxy A27 appears to be moving closer to launch. The smartphone has now surfaced on the FCC certification platform in both US and global variants, suggesting that the company is preparing for a wider international rollout very soon. FCC listings are often among the final regulatory hurdles before a smartphone reaches the market, suggesting a strong indication that an official announcement may not be far away.

Samsung Galaxy A27 FCC certification

91mobiles has spotted the Galaxy A27 with the model numbers SM-A276U and SM-A276B on the FCC certification database. While the listing doesn't reveal any specifications, it strongly suggests an imminent launch. The Galaxy A27 will launch as the third model in Samsung's latest A series, which already has the Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57. It would be the most affordable one among the three. 

[gallery link="file" size="full" td_select_gallery_slide="slide" ids="703583,703584"]

Samsung Galaxy A27: what to expect

The Galaxy A27 is expected to succeed the Galaxy A26 as Samsung's next affordable mid-range offering. While the company has not officially confirmed any specifications, recent leaks and benchmark listings have painted a clearer picture of what buyers can expect.

According to previous reports, the Galaxy A27 will be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset paired with 6GB of RAM. The device is also tipped to run Android 16 out of the box, likely with Samsung's latest One UI software on top. This suggests dependable performance for regular usage. The design is said to closely follow that of the already available Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57, which means we're getting a punch-hole display instead of the notch.

On the front, the Galaxy A27 is rumored to feature a 6.7-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. If accurate, the panel would place the device among the better-equipped smartphones in its segment, particularly for users who prioritise media consumption, social media browsing, and gaming. Camera specifications are expected to include a 50MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide camera, and a 2MP macro shooter. The camera setup is quite versatile for the segment. Most phones in the affordable mid-range segment stick to a dual-camera setup, so the Galaxy A27 may have an advantage here. 

Based on what we know so far, the Galaxy A27 could be worth considering if you're looking for a mid-range Samsung phone as your daily driver. Samsung's software experience and long-term support also make it a viable choice among rivals. Its suite of AI features is also more refined than what other brands offer, and this could be advantageous in the mid-range segment as more phones implement AI for daily tasks. 

If you own an older Galaxy A series phone, the A27's chipset and cameras could make it a worthwhile upgrade. However, if you have an A36, the differences might not justify the cost. We should still wait for official details and reviews before coming to a buying decision.

• The new Dell XPS 13 is the thinnest, lightest XPS yet and targets students and professionals.
• Alienware's new AW3926QW and AW3426DW gaming monitors bring brighter next‑gen OLED panels, higher refresh rates, and better anti‑glare features.

[/highlights]

At Computex 2026, Dell is rolling out two major refreshes across its consumer lineup. The new XPS 13 targets students and young professionals, trimming weight and thickness while still offering a premium 13.4‑inch display and the latest Intel hardware. On the gaming side, Alienware is updating its big‑screen monitors with a 39‑inch 5K OLED and a 34‑inch 280 Hz QD‑OLED, both designed to deliver higher brightness, faster response, and better everyday usability than the previous generation. Check out the details below.

Dell XPS 13:

The new Dell XPS 13 is the brand's thinnest and lightest XPS yet, built for students and young professionals who want a premium-feeling laptop that's still relatively affordable. It weighs about 1 kg, measures just 12.75 mm thick, and uses an aluminium chassis that comes in Sky and Storm colours. You get a 13.4‑inch 2.5K touch display with 100 percent DCI‑P3 colour, a variable 30–120 Hz refresh rate for smoother visuals and a battery that claims up‑to‑17 hours of video streaming.

Under the hood, it runs on Intel Core Series 3 processors at launch, with Intel Core Ultra Series 3 options coming later, up to 32 GB LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1 TB PCIe Gen4 SSD storage. Other features include a dual‑fan cooling setup, a backlit keyboard, a standard touchscreen, Intel Wi‑Fi 7, and a glass touchpad. 

Alongside the new XPS 13, Dell also brought a refreshed lineup of Alienware gaming monitors to Computex. Check it out below:

Alienware 39-inch 5K OLED (AW3926QW)

Alienware's 39‑inch AW3926QW is their big, showpiece monitor this year. It's a curved 5K OLED screen that tries to look good not just in a dark gaming room, but also in bright everyday setups. The new RGB‑stripe tandem OLED panel claims to get very bright while still keeping deep blacks and sharp text, so games, movies, and even plain desktop work should look clean and vivid.

Its key trick up its sleeve is the dual‑mode design: you can run it at 5K and 165 Hz for immersive single‑player games or switch to 1080p at 330 Hz when you want ultra‑fast response for competitive titles, all from the on‑screen menu.

Alienware also tries to ease the usual OLED worries with built‑in pixel management to reduce burn‑in risk and comes with a 3‑year burn‑in warranty. On the back, you get all the ports you'd expect from a high‑end display, plus a built‑in KVM so you can hook up more than one PC and still use a single keyboard and mouse.

Alienware 34-inch 280Hz QD‑OLED (AW3426DW)

The 34‑inch AW3426DW is a major refresh of Alienware's popular QD‑OLED ultrawide. It keeps the same 34‑inch curved format but uses a newer "Penta Tandem" QD‑OLED panel that claims to be brighter, sharper, and more efficient. It also has higher peak brightness, better everyday brightness, and a new anti‑reflective coating. The refresh rate has jumped from 240 Hz to 280 Hz, with a very fast response time plus support for both major adaptive‑sync standards.

The monitor is built to handle fast shooters as well as big single‑player games without tearing or smearing. In short, it's the "sweet spot" ultrawide for people who want a premium OLED experience but don't need a giant 39‑inch panel. You also get 3-year burn-in warranty here. 

Where Dell's new XPS and Alienware monitors fit in

The new XPS 13 seems to be Dell's answer to students and first‑time buyers who always liked the XPS look but were pushed toward cheaper Inspiron models. Earlier XPS 13s were either pricier, more powerful "creator" machines or experimental designs with invisible haptic touchpads and high‑end OLEDs. This refresh is a step back toward a simpler, lighter 13‑inch model that keeps the aluminium build, slim InfinityEdge screen, touchscreen, and Wi‑Fi 7 but dials down specs and (eventually) price so more people can actually buy one.

For Alienware, the 39‑inch AW3926QW and 34‑inch AW3426DW build directly on its earlier QD‑OLED line, but both push past the "OLED is great, but only in a dark room" limitation. The 39‑inch 5K flagship uses a new RGB‑stripe tandem OLED panel to boost peak brightness and text clarity versus previous Alienware OLEDs while still keeping deep blacks and adding a dual‑display‑mode setup that older models missed. Together, they sit above Alienware's more affordable 32‑ and 34‑inch 240 Hz LCDs and give enthusiasts more concrete reasons to upgrade from the first‑generation 34‑inch QD‑OLED or smaller 27‑inch OLEDs.

• AirDrop is officially available on the Xiaomi 17T Pro.
• The functionality could soon be released for more Xiaomi devices.
• Google, Samsung, and OPPO have already rolled out AirDrop support for several of its high-end phones.

[/highlights]

Following Google, Samsung, and OPPO, Xiaomi is the latest Android smartphone manufacturer to bring AirDrop support to its devices. In an attempt to offer a cohesive file transfer experience, this unlocks the ability to easily share images, files, and documents to Apple iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks from a Xiaomi device via Quick Share. While the extent of this feature may be limited to high-end Xiaomi devices at the start, Apple devices should also be able to initiate transfer to HyperOS 3-based devices once the AirDrop support rolls out.

Xiaomi 17T Pro gains AirDrop support, and more devices could follow suit

Through an official post on X, the Xiaomi HyperOS handle has confirmed that "AirDrop is now available on Quick Share." The post also notes that this enables "Fast, seamless sharing of photos and files to Apple devices", indicating that users may no longer need to rely on third-party apps or solutions to transfer files from Xiaomi to Apple devices.

— Xiaomi HyperOS (@XiaomiHyperOS_) June 1, 2026

Since the Xiaomi 17T Pro runs on HyperOS 3 layered on top of Android 16, it's likely that AirDrop support could soon be released for other high-end devices globally, including the flagship Xiaomi 17, Xiaomi 17T Ultra, and Xiaomi 17T. Since Xiaomi is launching only the Xiaomi 17T in India on June 4th, we'll have to wait and see whether the smartphone also gains AirDrop support out of the box.

Back in November 2025, Google surprised the world by rolling out AirDrop support for the Pixel 10 series, finally breaking the walls between Android and iOS file sharing. Then, sometime later, it officially confirmed that the ability to share media from Android to Apple devices via AirDrop will be made available to more devices in the future. Since then, AirDrop support has been released for the Samsung Galaxy S26, Galaxy S22, S23, S24, S25 series, OPPO Find X9 series, including the X9, X9s, X9 Pro, and X9 Ultra.

With AirDrop support on not just Xiaomi devices, but Android devices in general, this can turn out to be highly useful for people who live in circles with people owning both Android and iOS devices, or those who frequently interact with Apple users.

• Vivo X500 Ultra is expected to launch as the brand's next premium flagship.
• It could house a built-in telephoto camera with 10x optical zoom.
• The current Vivo X300 Ultra supports up to 3.7x optical zoom. 

[/highlights]

The battle for smartphone camera supremacy may soon enter a new phase. A fresh leak indicates that Vivo is testing a dedicated 10x telephoto camera for its next-generation Ultra flagship, the Vivo X500 Ultra. While the company has yet to confirm any details, the reported test setup hints at a notable shift in Vivo's imaging strategy. Rather than relying primarily on a lens extender, Vivo appears to be evaluating a much longer optical zoom solution built into the phone.

Vivo X500 Ultra with 10x telephoto camera

Vivo's next Ultra flagship could feature a telephoto camera with 10x optical zoom. Vivo's current Ultra flagship, the X300 Ultra (review), features a 200MP periscope telephoto camera with 3.7x optical zoom. It comes with 200mm and 400mm Zeiss telephoto extenders (review), allowing you to shoot distant objects while maintaining good detail. With a 10x optical zoom, the Vivo X500 Ultra may not require an extender kit. 

However, implementing a 10x zoom camera is easier said than done. Longer focal lengths typically require larger camera modules, more internal space, and increasingly complex image stabilisation systems. Smartphone manufacturers must also balance zoom performance against weight, thickness, battery capacity, and production costs. Vivo's Ultra models are known to house large camera modules and a thick form factor altogether to incorporate the large sensors. 

For Vivo, a dedicated 10x telephoto camera could strengthen an area where the company has traditionally been competitive. The brand's flagship phones have earned a reputation for strong camera performance, partly due to its long-standing collaboration with Zeiss and a focus on imaging hardware.

If Vivo ultimately adopts a dedicated 10x periscope camera, it could make the X500 Ultra one of the most versatile camera phones on the market. For photography enthusiasts who frequently capture wildlife, sports, concerts, or distant landscapes, the upgrade could offer meaningful real-world benefits beyond the typical annual camera improvements. With this expectation, the Vivo X500 Ultra could be worth waiting for, if you're still on the hunt for the ultimate camera phone.

• The Redmi Note 17 series will succeed the Redmi Note 15 lineup.
• It will debut in China with a global release expected soon.
• This time, the brand seems to be focused on large batteries.

[/highlights]

Xiaomi is reportedly preparing a major battery upgrade for its next-generation Redmi Note lineup. According to recent information, the upcoming Redmi Note 17 series could feature substantially larger battery capacities than its predecessors, making endurance the key focus this time. The Redmi Note 17 series is expected to succeed the current Redmi Note 15 lineup. Interestingly, Xiaomi may skip the Redmi Note 16 branding altogether in certain markets to align the naming scheme with its flagship Xiaomi 17 series.

Redmi Note 17 series 10,000mAh+ batteries tipped

According to a new leak shared by tipster Yogesh Brar, Redmi Note 17 models intended for the Chinese market could feature batteries exceeding 10,000mAh. This would be a major upgrade overall and in comparison to the Redmi Note 15 Pro (Chinese variant), which has a 7,000mAh battery. Global variants, including those expected to launch in markets such as India, are tipped to arrive with battery capacities ranging between 8,000mAh and 9,000mAh. In India, the Redmi Note 15 Pro series has a 6,500mAh battery.

If accurate, the battery capacities would represent one of the biggest year-over-year upgrades in the history of the Redmi Note series. The move would also place Xiaomi among a growing number of brands prioritising battery life, like Realme and OnePlus. Devices with 8,000mAh batteries, once considered niche, are rapidly becoming mainstream in the mid-range segment.

The launch timeline is said to remain unchanged from previous generations, pointing to a September debut. With the expected launch still a few months away, additional details regarding the Redmi Note 17 series' processors, display specifications, cameras, and charging capabilities are likely to emerge in the coming weeks.

If the battery rumours prove accurate, Xiaomi's next-generation Redmi Note lineup could set a new benchmark for smartphone endurance in the mid-range segment. The Redmi Note 17 series could be worth waiting for if battery capacity is a priority.

• OnePlus Turbo 6x and Turbo 6x Pro could target the budget and midrange market.
• OnePlus Turbo 6x could be powered by a MediaTek chipset, while the Turbo 6x Pro may run on a Qualcomm processor.
• These smartphones are likely to remain exclusive to China.

[/highlights]

Having recently launched the OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra in its home market, it appears that the brand is now preparing to target the budget and midrange market with the release of the Turbo 6x and Turbo 6x Pro. The listings of these smartphones have been spotted on Google Play Console, revealing their key specifications. Just last month, a OnePlus phone with the model number PYR110 appeared on China's TENAA certification database. It is widely rumoured to be the Turbo 6x Pro.

What the OnePlus Turbo 6x and Turbo 6x Pro could offer

According to the Google Play Console database (via XpertPick), the previously revealed OnePlus phone on the TENAA certification, carrying the model number PYR110, could be named OnePlus Turbo 6x Pro, while the device with the model number PYS110 will likely be called OnePlus Turbo 6x.

Given the naming scheme, it's easy to infer that the OnePlus Turbo 6x Pro will be the higher-end variant of the Turbo 6x. These smartphones could join the Turbo 6 and Turbo 6V family, which were launched in China in January as performance-oriented smartphones. 

On the specifications front, the Turbo 6X serves as the more affordable option, sporting a 6.72-inch FHD+ LCD display with a 144Hz refresh rate. It could be powered by the Dimensity 7400 Apex chipset and backed by a large 7,000mAh battery. With such a big cell, it suggests OnePlus is prioritising endurance, a smart move for the demanding Chinese market. Memory configurations could include 6GB+128GB, 8GB+256GB, and 12GB+512GB variants.

The OnePlus Turbo 6X Pro, on the other hand, could sport a larger 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED panel and could run on the more powerful Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset. It might pack an even bigger 8,000mAh battery and could offer higher memory options ranging from 6GB up to 16GB RAM, along with storage up to 1TB. For cameras, the standard Turbo 6X gets a basic 50MP + 2MP dual setup, while the Pro model upgrades to a 50MP + 8MP combination. On the front, they feature 8MP and 16MP selfie cameras, respectively. Both devices are expected to run on ColorOS 16.

If the specifications appear similar, then don't doubt your thinking, as the recently launched OnePlus Nord CE 6 Lite and Nord CE 6 featured a similar set of specifications as the Turbo 6x and Turbo 6x Pro, respectively. Per our experience with the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 and Dimensity 7400, both handsets should offer enough raw power for daily use. Now, let's move on to the design renders.

Here's how the OnePlus Turbo 6x and Turbo 6x Pro could look like

Firstly, the OnePlus Turbo 6x looks strikingly similar to the OnePlus Nord CE 6 Lite, since it features a left-aligned vertical camera array, and also appears to carry a matte-like finish rear panel. On the other hand, the Turbo 6x Pro could take cues from the OnePlus 15 and the Nord CE 6 series by featuring a subtly designed protruding square camera module.

While it will be available in multiple colour options, the renders suggest that the Turbo 6X Pro will feature a bold purple shade, similar to the one seen on the OnePlus 15 and OnePlus 15R. This makes it a preferable choice for those who want a fun, funky look.

Since the OnePlus Turbo 6 and Turbo 6V have remained exclusive to China, the upcoming Turbo 6X and Turbo 6X Pro are also likely to skip international markets. This is further supported by the fact that these models reportedly share specifications similar to those of the Nord CE 6 series. The strategy behind releasing these models is most likely to penetrate the market deeply and present them as alternatives to the existing offerings from Vivo, Xiaomi, Huawei, and others.

• The ASUS Ascent QN10 is the first mini‑PC running on the Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 Elite platform.
• Snapdragon X2 Elite combines up to 18 CPU cores, integrated graphics, and an 80 TOPS NPU.
• It comes in an ultra-compact 0.7L design that stays cool, ideal for small desks, studios, and office spaces.

[/highlights]

ASUS is bringing Qualcomm's Snapdragon X2 Elite to mini‑PCs for the first time with the new Ascent QN10. It's a tiny, space‑saving box aimed at prosumers, developers, and small businesses who want a quiet desktop that can handle AI assistants, coding, and everyday work without a bulky tower. Instead of chasing high‑end gaming, this mini‑PC focuses on efficient performance, long, cool‑running sessions, and the ability to run modern AI tools directly on the device.

What powers the ASUS Ascent QN10?

The ASUS Ascent QN10 runs on Qualcomm's Snapdragon X2 Elite platform. It offers up to 18 Oryon CPU cores, integrated Adreno X2 graphics, and a dedicated NPU rated at 80 TOPS, so it can handle everyday desktop work, coding, and on‑device AI tools without needing a separate graphics card.

It can be configured with up to 32GB of LPDDR5X memory at 9,600 MHz and dual SSD storage, and it's certified as a Copilot+ PC, so you get Microsoft's latest on‑device AI features out of the box. The QN10 is built for long, cool‑running sessions where you might have multiple apps, browser tabs, and AI assistants open at once.

Qualcomm is also pitching Snapdragon X2 Elite as a secure platform for work. The chip comes with hardware-level protections and works with modern Windows security features, which helps keep more of your data on the device while still letting you use cloud services when you want to. For freelancers, small teams, and businesses that handle sensitive documents or code, that mix of performance, efficiency, and built‑in security is a big part of the appeal.

Why does the compact design matter?

The ASUS Ascent QN10's chassis comes in under 0.7 litres, which is tiny even by mini‑PC standards, and ASUS claims it's around 86 percent smaller than the usual 5‑litre small‑form‑factor desktop. The size essentially lets it disappear behind a monitor, mount it under a desk, or sit beside a TV without drawing attention. For cramped student rooms, shared home offices, or small studios, that's a sure benefit. 

Despite its ultra‑small 0.7L chassis, the QN10 still supports up to four 4K displays (one HDMI plus three over USB4) and packs seven USB ports in total: three USB4, three USB 3.2 Gen 2, and one USB 2.0, along with Wi‑Fi 7 for fast wireless connection. It is flexible enough to serve as a personal desktop, a small office PC, or a box that drives digital signage in a shop or lobby.

Who is it for?

The Snapdragon X2 Elite inside the QN10 is designed to run a mix of AI assistants, coding tools, and office apps directly on the device. Qualcomm talks about support for "agentic" AI workflows, which basically means you can run AI tools that chain together multiple tasks, like summarising research, drafting emails, or refactoring code. without sending every step to a remote server.

For developers, that could mean using tools like VS Code, AI code copilots, and local model experiments on a box that still fits under a monitor. For professional users and small teams, the QN10 is pitched as a quiet machine that can juggle content creation, spreadsheets, browser tabs, and communication apps without feeling sluggish. 

It won't rival a full‑size desktop with a big RTX card for gaming, but for AI assistants, code copilots, and day‑to‑day productivity, the Snapdragon X2 Elite is designed to deliver higher AI throughput and better performance‑per‑watt than most similarly sized Intel and AMD‑based mini‑PCs, especially given how compact the QN10's sub‑0.7L chassis is.

• Realme P4R is teased to launch in India.
• It's confirmed to get a large battery.
• The smartphone could launch with the same specs as the Realme 16T.

[/highlights]

Realme started teasing the launch of a new P series smartphone in India, the Realme P4R. The handset is part of Realme's battery-driven P series, which focuses on endurance, like the Realme P4 Power, offering a massive 10,000mAh battery. Ahead of its official debut, the retail box price of the upcoming Realme P4R has surfaced online, giving us an early look at its expected price. The handset's specifications have also been leaked, suggesting it could be a rebrand of the Realme 16T.

Realme P4R box price leak

The leak, including an image of the Realme P4R's box, shared by tipster Sanju, reveals a Maximum Retail Price (MRP) of Rs 44,999 for the 6GB RAM + 256GB storage variant.
As is typically the case with most smartphones, the actual selling price is expected to be considerably lower than the listed box MRP. However, it does suggest the Realme P4R could be priced in the sub-Rs 30,000 segment. 

Realme P4R specifications (expected)

According to the leaked retail packaging, the Realme P4R could feature a 6.8-inch HD+ display with a 144Hz refresh rate, an 8,000mAh battery with 45W fast charging support, and a dual rear camera setup comprising a 50MP primary sensor and a 2MP secondary sensor. The device is also said to include a 5,300mm² vapour chamber cooling system and a pulse notification light.

The handset reportedly measures 8.88mm in thickness and weighs 224g, which is understandable given the large battery capacity. It is expected to be offered in 4GB + 128GB, 6GB + 128GB, and 6GB + 256GB configurations. Colour options could include Silver Glare, Titanium Glare, and Lavender Glare.

Interestingly, the leaked specifications closely mirror those of the Realme 16T, raising the possibility that the Realme P4R could be a rebranded version of the device with a refreshed design and branding strategy. Smartphone makers frequently adopt such an approach to target different online and offline sales channels while maintaining similar hardware.

If the specifications prove accurate, the Realme P4R would position itself as a battery-focused smartphone. The combination of an 8,000mAh battery and 144Hz display could appeal to users looking for extended battery life, including students, delivery professionals, frequent travellers, and casual gamers. The final pricing will ultimately determine how competitive the device is against rivals in the mid-range segment. Prospective buyers interested in a long-lasting battery phone might want to keep an eye on this launch, but should await official pricing and comprehensive reviews before making a decision.

ASUS Republic of Gamers showcased Edition 20 at Computex 2026, marking its 20th anniversary. This collection includes gaming desktops, handhelds, peripherals, software, and lifestyle products. They share a limited-edition design inspired by ROG Black, ROG Red, Crystal Lens, and Radiant Gold colours. ROG aims to present Edition 20 not just as a look back but as an introduction to its next chapter. It features AI-driven gaming and deeper ecosystem integration.

Pricing and availability for Edition 20 products in India have not yet been announced. Given the timing of the announcement at Computex 2026, more information on availability and regional pricing should follow in the upcoming weeks.

ROG G1000 Edition 20: a flagship desktop with a holographic fan

The standout announcement is the ROG G1000 Edition 20. It's a high-end ultra-tower desktop that ROG calls its flagship for unmatched performance. It supports up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 GPU and an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D processor. This showcases the best in consumer desktop technology.

The main feature is the AniMe Holo display, which ROG claims is the world's first holographic fan system in a prebuilt gaming PC. This system enables users to project customizable visuals through the chassis fan. This serves as both a display and a cooling solution. It also earned the G1000 Edition 20 a Golden Award in the Gaming and Immersive Tech category at the Computex Best Choice Awards 2026.

A Tri-Zone cooling architecture, combined with a 420mm AIO liquid cooler, allows the system to handle up to 1000W TDP. This should provide ample thermal capacity for current and future GPU and CPU setups. Each unit includes a Glory Gold signature badge and a unique factory serial number.

ROG Xbox Ally X20 Bundle: handheld gaming with AR glasses

The ROG Xbox Ally X20 Bundle is a limited-edition handheld gaming package, upgrading the original ROG Xbox Ally X with plenty of new goodies, including AMD's Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme processor. The device has a new 7.4-inch ROG Nebula HDR OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, TMR joysticks, and a transforming D-pad. It also supports Auto SR AI-powered upscaling. The see-through black chassis with gold accents appeals to both collectors and gamers.

This bundle comes with ROG XREAL R1 Edition 20 Gaming AR Glasses. This should enhance the gaming experience by extending it into augmented reality. This pairing reflects ROG's vision for portable gaming, not only more powerful handhelds but also immersive options that transcend traditional screens.

ROG Strix SCAR 18: Intel 290HX Plus meets RTX 5090 in an 18-inch laptop

On the laptop front, ROG is showing off the updated Strix SCAR 18. Brand says it can be configured with up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU. It has a maximum total system power rating of 320W. The display is an 18-inch 4K 240Hz Mini LED panel, certified with ROG's Nebula HDR and equipped with Extreme Low Motion Blur technology. ASUS says this setup has no direct equivalent in the current laptop market. Tool-less access for SSD and RAM upgrades remains a valuable feature for enthusiasts who want to upgrade without special tools.

Beyond hardware: software, lifestyle, and a board game

Edition 20 goes beyond traditional product categories. ROG Armoury Crate Edition 20 is a limited-edition software theme that comes preloaded on the G1000. This showcases a unified visual identity for ROG's anniversary throughout 2026.

The ROG SLASH Backpack Edition 20 is a collector's version of the SLASH Backpack 4.0. It features gold accents and anniversary detailing. Meanwhile, it supports up to 18-inch laptops and uses tear-resistant, water-repellent materials. The Fidlock magnetic buckle adds a functional daily carry element while serving as a commemorative item.

In a surprising move, ROG has launched its first board game, ROG Saga: In Search of Lapuntu Edition 20. Set in ROG's cyberpunk SAGA universe, the game can accommodate up to four players. It also includes a premium gaming table mat with accessories. It serves as a collectable, a narrative experience, and signals ROG's expansion into physical spaces.

Edition 20 is a limited-run collection, so availability will be constrained, and pricing will reflect that. The G1000 Edition 20 and Strix SCAR 18 stand on their own hardware merits; both sit at the top of their respective categories regardless of anniversary context. The Xbox Ally X20 Bundle is harder to evaluate without hands-on time, particularly around whether the AR glasses integration justifies the premium. The backpack, board game, and software themes are collector purchases first worth it for long-time ROG followers, less so for buyers focused purely on utility.

Edition 20 signifies ROG's dual focus. It celebrates a true milestone: 20 years of hardware that has influenced PC culture worldwide. At the same time, it uses this milestone to announce the brand's new direction. It seems like ROG is moving toward deeper ecosystem integration, AI-assisted gaming, and experiences that reach beyond the screen.

The board game, AR glasses bundle, and holographic fan desktop are intentional additions. They demonstrate ROG's goal to redefine what gaming products can be. This shift moves from just components and systems to encompass culture, community, and immersive experiences.

• Acer has launched new Aspire, Swift, and TravelMate AI laptops at Computex 2026 for students, home users, and professionals.
• The Aspire series targets everyday use with bigger screens, while the Swift series focuses on thin-and-light designs.
• Most models will roll out globally between July and September 2026, with wider regional availability to follow.

[/highlights]

Acer is using Computex 2026 to reset its entire Windows lineup around AI PCs, with new Aspire, Swift, and TravelMate machines aimed at everyone from students and home users to travelling executives. The common thread between these products is quite simple: modern Intel Core Series 3/Core Ultra chips with built-in NPUs, long battery life, and cleaner designs or bulky workstations. We'll look at it in a bit more detail below.

Acer Aspire: AI PCs for home and students

The new Aspire X 16 AI and Aspire 18 AI target everyday users who split time between work, study, and entertainment. The Aspire X 16 AI is the slimmer, more premium option, pairing Intel Core Ultra X‑series chips and integrated graphics with a 16‑inch 3K OLED, 120 Hz display and long battery life in a portable chassis. It's ideal for people who want a nicer screen and a bit more power for light editing and AI features but still need something easy to carry. That's a welcome change for students and home workers who care more about a good screen and battery life than raw power.

The Aspire 18 AI goes all in instead, with a large 18‑inch WUXGA display and high refresh rate, making it feel closer to a portable desktop. It targets at-home users, students, and casual creators who mostly work at a desk but still want the option to move around the house or campus, and it comes with extras like Wi‑Fi 7, dual Thunderbolt 4 ports, and an oversized touchpad for comfort. 

Acer's Aspire C 24 and C 27 AI all‑in‑one desktops complete this family for shared spaces. They offer 23.8‑ and 27‑inch Full HD panels, slim stands, and a choice of AMD Ryzen AI or Intel Core Ultra chips, with pop‑up IR webcams and a clean design for family rooms or small home offices.  It's a sensible pick for anyone who wants a ‘portable desktop' without building a full tower.

Acer Swift: thin‑and‑light AI laptops

For people who care more about portability and style, Acer's Swift series gets two new AI‑ready models. The Swift Air 14 is the mainstream thin‑and‑light machine with a 14‑inch, under‑1.3 kg aluminium laptop using Intel Core Series 3 processors and a dedicated NPU to run on‑device AI features. It offers up to all-day battery life, fast charging, a 120 Hz WUXGA display, quad speakers, and a 1080p IR webcam, making it a good everyday choice for students and office workers who move a lot.  

The Swift Spin 14 AI is the more flexible 2‑in‑1 option. It steps up to Intel Core Ultra with higher AI performance, adds a 360‑degree hinge, and uses a 14‑inch 120 Hz touchscreen that supports an active stylus for notes and sketching. With Wi‑Fi 7, Thunderbolt 4, HDMI 2.1, and features like a 5 MP IR webcam with presence detection and a fingerprint reader, it's clearly tuned for power users, hybrid workers, and light creators who want tablet modes without giving up a full laptop keyboard. 

Acer TravelMate: AI and security for business

On the business side, Acer's new TravelMate models bring the same AI focus to enterprises and SMBs. The TravelMate P6 14 AI sits at the top here with an ultra-light (under 1 kg) Copilot+ PC with Intel Core Ultra Series 3 and Intel vPro, which targets security and remote manageability. It promises up to 30 hours of battery life, Wi‑Fi 7, Thunderbolt 4, and a 14‑inch display with options up to 2.8K OLED, alongside numerous hardware security features and AI‑assisted video call tools. For IT teams, the vPro and security additions will probably matter more than the AI branding. 

Below it, the TravelMate P2 Spin 14 offers a 2‑in‑1 design for field workers and flexible roles, with a 14‑inch WUXGA touchscreen, a garaged Wacom stylus, dual webcams (including a world‑facing one), MIL‑STD 810H durability, and Wi‑Fi 7. The TravelMate X2 14 and X2 15 complete the lineup as more traditional clamshells for SMBs, with Intel Core Series 3, MIL‑STD durability, TPM, optional fingerprint and chassis intrusion alerts, Wi‑Fi 6E, and AI‑enhanced audio/video for calls. The 15‑inch version also adds a numeric keypad for spreadsheet‑heavy work.

Acer ProDesigner PE320QK G0: QD‑OLED for colour‑critical work

The Acer ProDesigner PE320QK G0 targets photographers, video editors and other creators who need accurate colour on screen. It uses a 32‑inch 4K QD‑OLED panel with true 10‑bit colour and DisplayHDR True Black 500, so photos and footage show more detail, deeper blacks and smoother gradients.

Acer tunes this monitor for colour‑critical work, with Delta E under 1, Calman Verified certification and coverage of 99 percent DCI‑P3 and 98 percent Adobe RGB. In practice, that means you can trust what you see when grading, retouching or preparing print assets. A 120 Hz refresh rate and 0.03 ms response time also help when scrubbing through video. Quality‑of‑life touches include the Acer Smart Dial remote for quick adjustments and Creator Hub software, which lets users switch colour spaces, hook up an external calibrator and arrange multi‑monitor layouts.

Acer CE320QK G: QD‑OLED for prosumers and content creators

The Acer CE320QK G aims at prosumers and content creators who want similar QD‑OLED punch without all the pro‑studio extras. It also offers a 32‑inch 4K QD‑OLED panel with true 10‑bit colour and DisplayHDR True Black 500, so you still get sharp detail and strong contrast for editing and streaming.

Colour accuracy lands at Delta E under 2 with 99 percent DCI‑P3 coverage, which is more than enough for most content‑focused workflows. The 120 Hz refresh rate and 0.03 ms response time keep motion smooth, while AMD FreeSync Premium Pro support adds variable refresh rate for tear‑free video and gaming. An adjustable ErgoStand with tilt, swivel and height movement helps users set up a more comfortable desk for long sessions.

Final thoughts and availability

Acer's new Aspire, Swift, and TravelMate models neatly cover most use cases: Aspire is for home and students, Swift is for thin‑and‑light everyday laptops, and TravelMate is for business users who need extra security and durability. Compared to older Aspire, Swift, and TravelMate laptops, this update is doing more than just slapping on an NPU label.

Recent Aspire AI models already got faster screens and slimmer bodies, and the new X 16 and 18 AI go further with 120 Hz displays, larger OLED options, and better battery claims.

The Swift Air 14 and Swift Spin 14 AI are lighter and more portable than earlier Swift Go and Swift 14 notebooks while still improving battery life and connectivity, and the new TravelMate machines add better vPro security, Wi‑Fi 7, and tougher builds than previous business models.

Most of these AI PCs are scheduled to start rolling out globally between July and September 2026, with some regions (like Australia) getting select models later in the year. India pricing and exact launch dates haven't been confirmed yet, but Acer typically brings its key Aspire, Swift, and TravelMate lines to the market soon after their global debut.
