Tipster Digital Chat Station has shared two new images on Weibo, claiming to reveal the design of the upcoming Oppo Reno 14. These leaked renders showcase the device from both the back and the side, offering a closer look at its refreshed aesthetic and camera layout.

The Reno 14's rear design features a flat, sculpted glass panel with a raised section around the camera module. The upper portion of the back sports a sleek white finish and smoothly chamfered edges, evoking the design language of older iPhones, such as the iPhone 12. The device is framed in aluminium, with the power button and volume rocker visible on the right-hand side. While rumours suggest a new 'Magic Cube' button could appear on the left, this detail remains unconfirmed as only one side of the phone is shown.advertisement
The camera system is arranged in an R-shaped layout within a slightly rectangular housing. Two lenses are placed vertically on the left, while a third sits within a capsule-shaped ring beside a triple LED flash. Previous leaks indicate the Reno 14 will feature a 50-megapixel main sensor with optical image stabilisation (OIS), an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera with a 3.5x zoom lens. Although the rear render initially appears to show the periscope positioned above the main camera island, the side view clarifies that it is integrated within the module.

Interestingly, the design closely resembles that of the Reno 13 Pro, suggesting Oppo is refining rather than reinventing its look. However, one notable departure from its predecessor is the move to a flat display – a 120Hz OLED panel – replacing the curved screen used in the Reno 13 series.The Reno 14 Pro is also expected to launch with an IP68/IP69 water resistance rating, offering full protection against dust and water ingress. While Oppo has yet to officially confirm these details, the combination of subtle design evolution and robust new features points to a polished upgrade for the Reno series.

Russia and Global South shaping multipolar digital future
Tech forum delegates have discussed joint efforts on trade, AI, cybersecurity, and innovation with RT Russia and the Global South have been strengthening ties and expanding digital cooperation in light of new opportunities opened by Western sanctions, according to delegates attending the country's first Global Digital Forum this week. The two-day event, which kicked off on Thursday in Nizhny Novgorod, brought together government officials, business leaders, and experts from more than 100 countries, including China, India, and some African nations. Some of them shared their views with RT on the sidelines of the forum, highlighting prospects for collaboration in areas such as trade, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and technology transfer. "China and Russia are strategic partners and good neighbors," said Zhou Liqun, chairman of the Chinese Entrepreneurs' Union in Russia. He noted that bilateral trade reached $240 billion last year, with China remaining Russia's top food product partner for 15 consecutive years. "Even under sanctions, the number of Chinese companies in Russia is growing," Zhou said, adding "We see the trend of promising cooperation." Sun Tianshu, founder of the China-Russian Platform, pointed out that "many opportunities in the (Russian) market [were] freed up" following the introduction of Western restrictions, allowing Chinese firms to step in. "Trade between our countries has one tendency - growth," he said, stressing that past challenges, including payment issues, had been resolved. "Even if new problems appear, we will be able to solve them," he argued. Indian cybersecurity expert Sunny Vaghela called for closer cooperation in the AI and cyber fields. "Russia is technologically advanced, and India is a hub of tech talent. Why not join hands to make AI and cyber a boom for both countries?" asked the CEO of Techdefence Labs. He added that some Russian companies were ready to come to India to collaborate. African delegates voiced similar interest in digital partnerships, especially in sectors like agriculture, education, and information management. "We came to learn how to bring AI and robotics home to help our people," said Tanzanian expert Henry Nkya. "Russia is using AI to boost productivity - we want to do the same." His colleague Mawazo Mataje emphasized the importance of knowledge exchange. "We're looking at sharing skills, experiences, and cultural understanding between Russia and the Global South," he said. Bangladeshi entrepreneur Mohammad Saber Shah described the event as "a truly encouraging experience," saying he had the chance to meet IT professionals "from around the globe." "This forum acts as a bridge between us," helping identify gaps that can be filled through partnerships. "Russia has long been a friend to Bangladesh - there's now real opportunity for digital collaboration," he said. (

Nvidia sounds the alarm: Chinese AI talent defecting to Huawei as U.S. chip curbs push them out the door
Nvidia is sounding the alarm about the unintended impact of US export restrictions on sending chips to China, as the company's senior VP of research and chief scientist, Bill Dally, said that the chipmaker is now witnessing an increasing number of former Nvidia AI researchers joining Huawei, a move prompted primarily by the tightening export controls, as per a PC Gamer to Dally's calculation, the number of AI researchers working in China has grown from a third of the world's total in 2019 to nearly half at present, reported PC Gamer, which cited a translation from the Taiwan Economic Daily report. The AI chipmaker's rationale is that without US restrictions, Huawei wouldn't be forced to focus so much on domestic AI solutions, but now it must do so to keep up, according to the PC Gamer report. However, this is not the first time Nvidia is pointing out that the US export restrictions for China are harming the AI industry in America. Even during Computex last month, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said, "AI researchers are still doing AI research in China and if they don't have enough Nvidia, they will use their own [chips]," and he also spoke regarding Huawei specifically, saying the company has become "quite formidable", reported PC Gamer. While, it is not just the US national interest that has urged Nvidia to highlight all the possible negatives of export controls, as these restrictions have cost and will cost the chipmaker lots of money, according to the report. Nvidia had revealed that after billions of dollars lost due to the restrictions of its H20 chips to China in Q1, it's expecting another $8 billion to be lost for the same reason in Q2, reported PC Gamer. According to the report, Huawei's latest Ascend 910 and 920 chips, with the help of China's SMIC (Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation), would be a better option for Chinese AI companies than trying to get their hands on Nvidia chips, as per the report. Why is Nvidia concerned about its AI researchers joining Huawei? Because it signals that export restrictions might be pushing top talent and innovation into China, instead of slowing its progress. How much money has Nvidia lost from these restrictions? Nvidia says it lost billions in Q1 and expects another $8 billion in losses in Q2 due to blocked chip sales to China.
