The pictures leaked by Winfuture.de come with very little information about their specs, so we’re left with what’s visible in the images for the most part. For starters, it looks like both Motorola phones will feature triple cameras. The 50-megapixel main camera on both will reportedly use Sony’s Lytia 900 sensor, which would be a nice improvement over the Lytia 700C sensor inside the previous models, Edge 50 and Edge 50 Pro.

Even though the Edge 60 series phone feature similar camera configurations, the vanilla model is said to offer a smaller 12-24 mm focal length, whereas the Edge 60 Pro’s main camera has a focal length of 12-73 mm.

One visible difference between the two phones is that the Edge 60 Pro comes with an extra button on the left side. Also, the Edge 60 Pro had a more curved display, but these seem to be the only design differences between the two device

Motorola Edge 60 will be available in three different colors – blue, rose/pink and turquoise, while the Edge 60 Pro is supposed to come in blue, green and violet. No details about availability and price have emerged yet, but it’s safe to assume that information concerning the Edge 60 and Edge 60 Pro will surface in the not-too-distant future.

Just for the sake of comparison, the Edge 50 and Edge 50 Pro were a bit pricy at launch, as Motorola sold them for €600 and €700, respectively. Unfortunately, it’s unlikely that Motorola will bring these to the United States, since neither the Edge 50 nor the Edge 50 Pro were officially introduced in the country.

Samsung is now sending termination notices to Android 7 users on Galaxy devices, informing them that the Samsung Members app and service will stop working on their devices in about a month.

April 1, 2025, is when Samsung Member for Android 7 Nougat will be terminated. (via perfectmongoose on Reddit).

TL;DR

• Android may add a new feature that automatically converts light theme apps to dark theme.
• The evidence for this comes from a new “make more apps dark” toggle that I spotted in the first Android 16 beta release.
• Google has been working on this feature since last year, so it’s unclear when it may launch.

HyperOS 2 is exempted in the case of update eligibility for the Xiaomi Pad 6, as the company has already announced that this tablet will not get the Android 15 update. Instead, its last software update is scheduled as the HyperOS 2 based on Android 14, which is expected in May 2025 or even earlier.

The Xiaomi Pad 6 will only see one major software update-the HyperOS 2, based on Android 14. And this will bring a number of changes, including:

• Improved User Interface: Enhancements to improve the user experience in terms of usability and easier navigation.
• Performance Optimizations: Tweaks to make it run smoother and utilize resources more efficiently.
• Security Enhancements: Security patches updated to protect user data and privacy.

The Dimensity 8400 incorporates the Cortex-A725 all-large-core architecture, which dramatically enhances its capabilities. This architecture delivers a 10% improvement in single-core performance while achieving a remarkable 35% reduction in power consumption compared to its predecessor. The CPU configuration includes one high-performance core clocked at 3.25GHz, three performance cores running at 3.0GHz, and four efficiency cores operating at 2.1GHz. With eight Arm Cortex-A725 CPU cores, a 5MB system cache, and a 6MB L3 cache, the chip achieves a multi-core performance boost of up to 32%, further solidifying its place as a powerhouse in the mobile chipset industry.

Power efficiency is another standout feature of the Dimensity 8400. Multi-core power consumption has been reduced by an impressive 44% compared to the previous generation. This efficiency extends across various everyday use cases, including gaming, music playback, video recording, and social interactions, offering users a longer-lasting and more reliable experience on their devices.

In the realm of graphics, the Dimensity 8400 features the Arm Immortalis G720 MC7 GPU, which operates at 1.3GHz. This GPU introduces hardware-level ray tracing and delivers a peak performance improvement of 24% while reducing power consumption by 42% compared to its predecessor. These advancements promise a richer and more immersive visual experience for users, particularly in gaming and multimedia applications.

AI capabilities are another area where the Dimensity 8400 shines. Equipped with the eighth-generation NPU 880, the chip offers a 54% improvement in AI performance over the previous generation. It integrates MediaTek’s Dimensity AI intelligent engine, enabling versatile end-side model applications and expanding the scope of AI-powered functionalities for smartphones.

Summary

• Qi2-certified phones all have magnets; no need to worry anymore about false rumors.

• Neodymium magnets for Qi2 charging are small, taking up little space compared to induction coils.

• Pressure applied to Android manufacturers can encourage magnetic compatibility with existing and future accessories.

SuperVOOC was once one of the fastest charging options in the smartphone space, but playing around with the latest iteration in the new OPPO Find X8 Pro feels comparatively slow. The flagship takes 50 minutes to fill up from an 80W SuperVOOC charger (why is it USB-A, OPPO, why?), which feels positively sluggish compared to the roughly 27 minutes I clocked on last year’s OPPO Find X7 Ultra, the OnePlus 12, and even the slightly older Find X6 Pro. What gives?

Well, those previously super-fast times came with one notable compromise — higher temperatures. Last year’s Find X7 Ultra hit highs of 38.4°C while the slightly smaller X8 Pro hit just 35.7°C. That might not seem like a huge difference, but inching ever closer to (or beyond) 40°C is exponentially worse for long-term battery health. Staying in the mid-30s earns a solid thumbs up. The drawback for the Find X8 Pro is that it barely touches its peak potential charging power, spending just a minute at 70W before falling and sticking mostly well below 40W — a far more mainstream power level.

Incidentally, this change also makes the Find X8 Pro much cooler than the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL’s controversial 37W and Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra’s 45W charging, which clock in with temperature highs of 41.8°C and 39.2°C, respectively (though average temperatures are all quite similar). They also both take longer to charge at 77 and 62 minutes each, although key times to 50% and 75% battery capacities are within minutes of each other and the Find X8 Pro.

TL;DR

• Motorola phone sales could be banned in the US if an ITC ruling in favor of Ericsson is upheld.
• Ericsson has claimed that Motorola’s phones infringe upon its 5G wireless communications patents.
• In an initial ruling, the ITC has found that Lenovo-owned Motorola violates Ericsson’s patents.

The Oppo Find X8 and Find X8 Pro are covered by an international warranty service in 62 countries and regions. You can seek out the local Oppo service center for support, repairs, maintenance and software updates. Oppo has hired and trained over 12,000 customer service representatives and engineers worldwide to help service your phone.

Oppo will provide a free screen protection plan to Find X8 series owners in markets like Indonesia, Vietnam and Malaysia. This includes a one-time free screen replacement for accidental damage. Additionally, the warranty is extended by 12 months.

In select markets, users will be able to call a hotline for help. The representative can direct them to offline service centers (where you will have access to premium lanes to move things quickly) and you will get a premium loaner phone while yours is being repaired. The service centers can also perform maintenance like cleaning your device. If there's no nearby offline repair service, Oppo will offer free send-in and pick-up repair services in select regions, so you will still get repairs on the same standard.
