Xiaomi's about to show off what's next at its big event this week
Xiaomi is gearing up for a major week as it celebrates its 15th anniversary with a big launch event on May 22.
The company plans to reveal a fresh lineup, including the new Xiaomi 15S Pro smartphone – an updated take on the Xiaomi 15 Pro – the Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra tablet and its own self-developed smartphone chip, the Xring O1 . On top of all that mobile gear, Xiaomi will also introduce its first electric SUV, the Xiaomi YU7. Xiaomi's new self-developed chip, the Xring O1, is built on a 3nm process and is expected to land somewhere between the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and Gen 3 in terms of performance. Of course, we will really know how it performs once it is out and we get to put it through the tests ourselves.
It should stick with standard Arm cores instead of Xiaomi's own custom cores and follows a 1+3+4 setup – that means one Prime core clocked at up to 3.2 GHz, three Performance cores at 2.5 GHz, and four Efficiency cores hitting 2 GHz.

And the first phone likely to show off this chip? That would be the upcoming Xiaomi 15S Pro, launching right alongside it. The upcoming phone is expected to keep the same overall design as the rest of the Xiaomi 15 series, but with upgraded camera features as its main focus. The Xiaomi 15S Pro might also bring back a tech we haven't seen from the brand in years – Ultra Wideband (UWB). UWB could end up being one of the phone's most interesting features, and if it lands here, chances are we'll see it in more Xiaomi flagships going forward.For those unfamiliar, UWB is a short-range wireless tech that is becoming a standard on premium phones. You will find it on newer Google Pixel phones, every iPhone since the 11 and top-end Samsung Galaxy S and Z series phones.Unlike Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, UWB spreads data across a wide frequency range using super low power, which helps it do things like precise device tracking and quick data transfers with almost zero interference.Ok, but there is one more device scheduled for launch, remember? The Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra. While details are still a bit under wraps, it is expected to be a powerhouse. The tablet will likely be powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, a fresh chip from Qualcomm that sits above the 8 Gen 3 in performance and steps things up in efficiency too.Leaked specs also mention a big 14-inch LTPO display (now that is quite the display, right? My laptop has a smaller one!), 3.2K resolution and support for 120W fast charging. It is shaping up to be a serious flagship tablet.
More info – including full details on Xiaomi's first in-house chip and everything else the company has got lined up – should drop at the launch event. Stay tuned for updates!

Huawei Pura 80 Pro+ design officially unveiled
Huawei is gearing up to launch its Pura 80 series in China on June 11 and the brand has now revealed the design of the Pura 80 Pro+. Huawei is sticking with its triangular camera island from the Pura 70 generation. The one on the Pura 80 Pro+ appears to be housing a trio of cameras, including a periscope/telephoto sensor. The new design bit for this year's Pura 80 series is the textured pattern inside the camera island. The LED flash is also placed between the camera sensors. We can also see that Huawei will offer flashier color options with this generation of Pura phones, including the bold red option seen in the product shot. Pura 80 Pro and 80 Pro+ will feature curved sides with what appears to be an aluminum frame. In related news, Huawei has opened up pre-reservations for the Pura 80 Pro and Pura 80 Pro+ on Vmall.

New report reveals even more info on Google's 'official' Pixel 10 series colors
Expected out in the second half of August... after all, the Pixel 10 , Pixel 10 Pro , Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold are in many ways as transparent as glass already. But some key details and characteristics are still either unknown or not completely clear, with various tipsters, for instance, clashing on things like color options. Ultra Blue, Limoncello, Iris, Midnight - Pixel 10 ; ; Sterling Gray, Light Porcelain, Midnight, Smoky Green - Pixel 10 Pro ; ; Sterling Gray, Light Porcelain, Midnight, Smoky Green - Pixel 10 Pro XL; XL; Sterling Gray, Smoky Green - Pixel 10 Pro Fold . If that previous leak made you excited about the swanky-sounding Limoncello flavor of the "vanilla" Pixel 10 , this new rumor practically etches that shade of yellow in stone along with an Iris hue borrowed from this year's Pixel 9a mid-ranger, a Midnight paint job undoubtedly set to replace Google's signature Obsidian, and an "Ultra Blue" colorway that decidedly piques my interest with its very cool name. The Pixel 10 will share an Iris flavor with the Pixel 9a. | Image Credit -- Google Make no mistake, these are almost definitely the official marketing labels of all those color options, and according to the existing inside information, Ultra Blue is "like a royal blue" hue, Limoncello is a "mid-tone color", and Midnight comes closer to a dark gray shade than black. Obsidian (aka black) is apparently out of the equation for the Pixel 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL as well, and perhaps even more surprisingly, another signature Google colorway is expected to be replaced with a lighter version. "Light Porcelain" will purportedly take a "more off-white" approach compared to the classic Porcelain paint job, while Sterling Gray is unsurprisingly set to sit at a lighter position than the aforementioned dark gray Midnight hue. Smoky Green, meanwhile, is described as a "darker green" color, apparently being one of only two flavors the Pixel 10 Pro Fold will be released in at the end of August. What's certainly interesting about the Pixel 10 family is that the smallest member will feature no less than three unique colorways, which strongly suggests that Google expects that model to eclipse its bigger and costlier brothers in terms of global sales. Probably not. After all, this is not Samsung, and Google doesn't exactly have a habit of releasing limited editions of its in-house smartphones in special colors through its website. These are almost surely all the Pixel 10 , 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL, and 10 Pro Fold paint jobs, which means that shades like Wintergreen, Peony, Rose Quartz, and Hazel are also not happening in addition to Obsidian and Porcelain. Wintergreen is just one of several Pixel 9 hues set to go away this year. | Image Credit -- PhoneArena That's a lot of change from one generation to the next, but I'm pretty certain many of you would prefer to see other specs and features revised and upgraded. While the "regular" Pixel 10 is likely to add a third telephoto sensor to the Pixel 9's dual rear-facing camera setup, the Pixel 10 Pro , 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold could more or less retain the key characteristics of their respective predecessors. Of course, a jump from a Tensor G4 to a vastly improved Tensor G5 processor is all but guaranteed for the entire Pixel 10 series, but other than that, you should probably not expect any substantial under-the-hood changes or enhancements.
