Nvidia will soon resume sales of its AI chips in China
The H20 chips that Nvidia hopes to sell in China are the most capable it can sell in the country. That is because of laws enacted by both President Donald Trump during his first term, and President Joe Biden. These chips are not as powerful as Nvidia's GPUs sold outside China.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is currently in Beijing and set to speak during an event being held in the city tomorrow. The company released a statement that says, "The U.S. government has assured Nvidia that licenses will be granted, and Nvidia hopes to start deliveries soon." Huang has said that Nvidia could lose its position as a global AI leader if it remains unable to sell its chips in China.
A report published today says that Chinese companies are rushing to place orders for Nvidia's GPU. These orders will have to be sent to the U.S. government for approval. Among Chinese firms reportedly getting ready to submit orders are TikTok parent ByteDance and Chinese conglomerate Tencent. For the fiscal year ended January 26th, 2025, Nvidia took in $17 billion in revenue from China, equivalent to 13% of the company's global sales.
Chinese tech companies still favor Nvidia's computing platform, known as CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture). CUDA allows developers to take advantage of the parallel processing used by Nvidia's GPUs. This type of processing allows multiple tasks to be handled simultaneously while using multiple cores. It is critical for AI, where billions and trillions of operations are handled at the same time.
Investors are reacting to this new by pushing Nvidia's shares up 3.98% to $170.60. The company is now worth $4.16 trillion dollars.

Samsung DeX gets a fresh look as Android 16's desktop mode rolls out
Samsung is updating its DeX experience with a new design powered by Android 16's desktop mode. While many features remain the same, some changes are now noticeable for users who rely on this desktop-like environment. Samsung DeX, which first launched with the Galaxy S8 in 2017, allows supported Galaxy phones to connect to an external display and offer a desktop-style interface. With the arrival of One UI 8 and Android 16 , Samsung is building DeX on top of Android's new native desktop mode, which Google officially introduced at I/O 2025. Although Android's desktop mode is still in beta, Samsung's version in One UI 8 appears more refined. The new DeX experience is currently available on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7, and early impressions suggest that most of the core DeX interface remains intact.

However, some other changes may affect how certain tools are accessed. The separate DeX tab in the Settings app has been removed and replaced with a more general "Connected display" menu. Additionally, the "Exit DeX" shortcut is no longer found in the app drawer. Samsung has also changed how the taskbar behaves. It now reflects the docked apps from the phone's home screen. This mirrors some of the changes Google introduced in Android 16 QPR1, signaling tighter integration between Samsung's implementation and Android's native support.A deeper look also pointed out other tweaks: right-click menus on the desktop and taskbar have been reduced, some UI elements now stay visible when video apps are in fullscreen, and the ability to pin apps to windows has been removed. These may be small changes, but they affect users who heavily customize their DeX setup. Despite a few missing features from Samsung's older DeX versions, the new version running on Android 16 feels more stable and modern. Compared to Google's stock desktop mode, DeX still comes across as the more polished solution. That said, DeX continues to serve a niche user base, and most people using it likely won't be affected by these small differences. As we see more Galaxy phones and tablets adopt One UI 8 in the coming months, it will be worth watching whether Samsung expands this new DeX experience to other devices or keeps it limited to its newest foldables.

The Exynos 2600 might offer better GPU performance than the Snapdragon 8 Elite
After a serious delay in the Exynos 2600 release, we are now starting to get some bits of information regarding Samsung's upcoming flagship chipset. Shortly after the Geekbench listing showing the CPU's specs, we now have an idea of what the GPU will be like. Exynos 2600 3Dmark SNL score — Jukan (@Jukanlosreve) July 26, 2025 An X user posted a photo of 3DMark's Steel Nomad Light benchmark with the Exynos 2600 scoring impressive 3,135 points, which is about 15% higher than what you would expect from a Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered smartphone. So if we go by this leak, the Exynos 2600's Xclipse 960 GPU will be more powerful than the current Snapdragon flagship chip. But there's more nuance to that. Firstly, Samsung's SoC appears to be running on a test bench, which often outperforms smartphones since it has better cooling, and with better cooling comes higher raw performance. Secondly, this probably isn't the final version of the chipset, as it's scheduled to arrive in early 2026 along with the Galaxy S26 series, and there may be some changes to the clock speeds, for example. Moreover, the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 is expected to be released by then. So, at the end of the day, it's too early to tell whether the Exynos 2600 will outperform Qualcomm's best hardware, but these preliminary results sure do look promising.

OnePlus 13s faces early screen defect reports, sparking warranty confusion
OnePlus launched the OnePlus 13s in India just last month, and while the phone offers strong specs in a compact size, some early buyers are already reporting screen problems. According to a user post on Reddit, their new OnePlus 13s developed a green line on the display shortly after Reddit user, posting under the name u/blackarrow3839, said that the green line first appeared for a few seconds and then disappeared. However, it returned the next day and stayed visible until the phone was restarted. They even recorded the issue as it they took the phone to a OnePlus service center, the support team reportedly said the video was not acceptable because it didn't show the phone's IMEI number. Instead of offering a replacement, the staff collected system logs and told the customer to wait and monitor the device for a few more days. Green line across the OnePlus 13s. | Image credit — u/blackarrow3839 (via Tech Issues Today) This has understandably caused concern, especially given that OnePlus has a strict 15-day window for product replacements. The Reddit user raised a valid question: what happens if the issue reappears after that deadline? The answer they received, unfortunately, was that there's nothing the company can do due to its OnePlus did introduce a lifetime display warranty in 2024 for green line issues. That should technically allow affected users to get their displays fixed at no cost, though it's clearly not a seamless process. It's especially frustrating to see this kind of defect on a phone that's so new. While display issues like this aren't widespread yet, even a few reports can be enough to raise red flags for potential buyers. For those unfamiliar, the OnePlus 13s is a device that packs a lot into a small package. It's essentially a regional variant of the upcoming OnePlus 13T, featuring a 6.32-inch 1.5K LTPO AMOLED display, a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, and 12GB of RAM. While it has a smaller 5,850mAh battery compared to the rumored 13T's 6,260mAh, it still offers more capacity than most phones in its size class. The catch? OnePlus has made the 13s exclusive to India for now, with no plans yet to bring it to the US or Europe. That limited reach makes it harder to get a full picture of how widespread the issue might become. While the hardware and specs of the OnePlus 13s remain impressive, this green line issue is something to be watching closely. We hope OnePlus takes steps to improve support for affected users, especially since they already committed to long-term screen coverage.
