Samsung's Galaxy Watches are getting Google Gemini AI
Samsung has proudly unveiled that Google Gemini is coming to its Galaxy Watches. Activating Gemini will also be "smoother than ever" when you have a pair of Galaxy Buds3 or Buds3 Pro.
Gemini on your Galaxy Watch provides hands-free assistance using natural voice commands. You can ask it to do things like remember stuff for you, summarize your incoming emails, and more across multiple apps.
With the Galaxy Buds3 and Buds3 Pro, you can use your voice or pinch and hold to activate Gemini on the earbuds and "smoothly interact with your Galaxy smartphone".
Samsung unfortunately hasn't revealed a rollout timeline for this, but it's safe to assume it's coming soon. It's not very surprising, since Google is currently working on replacing Google Assistant with Gemini everywhere, and that's just what this will be - where before you had Google Assistant on your smartwatch or earbuds, you'll now get Gemini with its enhanced abilities.

Honor's next phone is a bit too traditional, but it should be very cheap
Honor X6c | Image credit: YTCHB The entry-level and mid-range segments of the smartphone market are very competitive because of the large number of new devices that are coming out every week. Not only that, but customers are now holding on to their phones for a longer time than in the past. Honor is one of the many phone makers that are trying to compete with more established brands like Motorola, Samsung and Xiaomi. The newly introduced Honor 400 series is a pure example of how the Chinese company is improving its products in an attempt to gain more market share from the X-series is Honor's lineup of more affordable smartphones. Despite being cheaper, these phones still offer great value for money and feature a premium look more often than not. The next phone in the X-series is Honor X6c, a device that hasn't been announced yet. However, several high-resolution renders of the phone have already been leaked, alongside key specs. At first glance, Honor X6c feels like an average, yet very stylish, affordable smartphone, so the success of the phone might come down to whether or not Honor will price this competitively. Honor X6c | Image credit: YTECHB For tech-savvy, Honor X6c uses a MediaTek Helio G81 Ultra processor, which is paired with 6/8GB RAM and 256GB internal storage. The smartphone sports a very decent 6.61-inch TFT LCD display with 1604 x 720 pixels resolution and 120Hz refresh far as the camera is concerned, the report claims the phone comes with a standard dual-camera system that includes a 50-megapixel main sensor and a much smaller QVGA snapper. There's also a secondary 5-megapixel selfie camera on the front. Honor X6c is powered by a 5,300 mAh battery with 35W wired charging speed support. The phone will also feature IP64 rating and will ship with Magic OS 9.0 based on Android 15. On paper, Honor X6c feels like a dumbed down version of its bigger brother, Honor X7c, which made its debut on the market back in October. The former has slightly smaller display, battery, and camera, as well as a different chipset. What sets the Honor X6c apart from the previous model is the AI button on the left side. All in all, the X6c should be more affordable than the X7c judging by the leaked specs. Just for reference, Honor X7c costs around €150, the upcoming model should be even cheaper.

Samsung feels the pressure to develop and build its next-gen RAM chip earlier than planned
A fresh report says that Samsung now has the incentive to go all out and develop the next generation of RAM chips which would use the LPDDR6 RAM standard. What gives Samsung the incentive to accelerate the development of its next-gen RAM is the news that China's Innovative Memory Technology (CXMT) has completed developing its LPDDR5X RAM. As a result, CXMT is reducing the lead that Samsung has on them when it comes to RAM chips. Samsung already has a potential customer for its LPDDR6 RAM chips as Qualcomm reportedly will support the new RAM chip with its upcoming top-of-the-line Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 application processor (AP). This is the SoC that will be powering the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra in all regions early next year. It will be manufactured by TSMC using its third-generation 3nm node (N3P). Of course, Samsung is expecting to sell the LPDDR6 RAM chips to many more clients. Samsung used the 12nm LPDDR5X RAM chip on the Galaxy S25 Ultra. | Image credit-Samsung CXMT may have put pressure on Samsung to move ahead to the next-gen RAM at a greater speed than it might have otherwise. Keep in mind that based on reports from late last year and early this year, CXMT only has 5% of the global RAM market. South Korea's SK Hynix is the leader having topped Samsung with approximately 36% of the global RAM market. Samsung is next with a market share in a range between 33.7% - 34.4%. That leaves Micron Technology and its 24.3%-25% slice of the global RAM pie. The LPDDR5X RAM chip built by Samsung and used on the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra for both 12GB and 16GB variants was manufactured on Samsung Foundry's 12nm process node. Earlier versions of Samsung's LPDDR5X RAM chip, like the one used on the Galaxy S23 Ultra, were built by Samsung foundry using its 14nm process node.

The battery is an impressive 5,850mAh with equally impressive 80W charging. OnePlus 13s starts at INR 54,999 for the 12/256GB trim and goes up to INR 59,999 for the 12/512GB version. Shipments will begin on June 12. IS a Galaxy Z Fold7 Ultra incoming? Well, an official Samsung teaser seemed to suggest as much, slipping the capitalized Ultra buzzword in a few places, but tipster Max Jambor suggested that there is no Ultra, just the Galaxy Z Fold7, which will supposedly be Ultra-quality. Ultra or just Fold7, we expect Samsung to bring out its next foldabls as early as July. While we can't share all the details yet, we can show off the exterior and talk about some of the features of this upcoming device. The phone brings flagship power at a lower price than the other 6.3" flagships, fast charging and the new Plus Button that replaces the Alert Slider. The top-of-the-line Samsung foldable is expected to launch alongside the Z Flip7 series in early July. The Nothing Phone (3) and Nothing Headphone (1) are coming on July 1. The Nothing Phone (3) will come in black and white, and will start at $799 with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. It will go up to $899 with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. The Headphone (1) is an over-ear headphone that's should go on sale on September 30. Google's Pixel 10 series is coming. But when? At first, we heard that Google will honor the same August 13 unveil date as the Pixel 9 series. However, a later bit of info suggest that the launch event will be on August 20. We'll just have to wait and see. The phone is coming in July, the headphones later. The Honor 400 Pro is a solid upgrade over its predecessor, despite the similar battery size. It's a week later than previously rumored, allegedly. It's the same as last year. Huawei revealed the design of the upcoming Pura 80 Pro+, and it looks very much like its predecessor. The Pura 80 series is coming on June 11. It's less than a month away. It's powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC. Huawei has also opened up Pura 80 Pro and 80 Pro+ pre-reservations in China.
