In recent weeks, China approved the world's first commercial brain-computer interface medical device and unveiled a five-ton class electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft that has already completed a public flight.
The iQOO Z11x is most likely powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 SoC, based on the listing's details. This was paired with 8GB of RAM in the prototype which ran the benchmark. The device will launch running Android 16 with OriginOS 6 on top.
Ayaneo started teasing the Pocket Play, its first smartphone, back in November, and then in December it showed us what it would look like, Sony Ericsson Xperia Play vibes and all. Today, Ayaneo has finally revealed the chipset sitting at the helm of the Pocket Play. It's MediaTek's Dimensity 9300. That's an odd choice, given that the SoC in question came out in 2023. Sure, it was MediaTek's top dog of 2023, but it's more than two years old.
AMD clarified those estimates are based on a comparison between an eight-GPU MI300X node and an MI500 rack system with an unspecified number of GPUs. The math works out to eight MI300Xs that are 1000x less powerful than X-number of MI500Xs. And since we know essentially nothing about the chip besides that it'll ship in 2027, pair TSMC's 2nm process tech with AMD's CDNA 6 compute architecture, and use HBM4e memory, we can't even begin to estimate what that 1000x claim actually means.
The iQOO Z11x 5G succeeds last year's Z10x 5G and brings an upgraded chipset along with a larger battery and other improvements. The handset offers a 6.76-inch LCD panel that offers a Full-HD+ resolution, up to 1,200 nits in high brightness mode, and a refresh rate of 120Hz.
The Infinix Note 60 was already spotted in the Geekbench online database, and today the Note 60 Ultra ran the benchmark too, with the model number X6877. As you can see, it managed a single-core score of 1,609 and a multi-core score of 6,762 in Geekbench 6.6. The Note 60 Ultra is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8400 SoC, which is a bit of a shame since the Dimensity 8500 was made official recently.
Back in September, Qualcomm unveiled the Snapdragon X2 Elite and Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme chipsets for Windows on Arm laptops, and today it's introducing the cheaper option in the portfolio, the Snapdragon X2 Plus. This is the successor to the Snapdragon X Plus from September 2024. The Snapdragon X2 Plus uses the third generation Oryon CPU and it has an 80 TOPS NPU.
The "Power" in the name refers to the 6,500mAh battery with 33W charging. According to the official numbers, the phone should last up to 3 days on a single charge. If you push it, you should get over 12 hours of gaming or up to 21 hours of watching videos on a single charge. The battery is rated for 1,000 charge cycles (retaining at least 80% of its original capacity), which should be enough for 5 years of use.
The Motorola Moto G17 and Moto G17 Power are basically the same phone with different amounts of RAM and storage, battery size, charging speed, and thickness. The Motorola Moto G17 Power packs a 6,000 mAh battery with 30W charging support. It's 8.8mm thick and comes with 8GB RAM and 256GB of onboard storage, expandable by up to 1TB via a microSD card.
itel quietly unveiled three new models - they have 120Hz 720p+ displays, are rated IP65 and are powered by the 4G-only Unisoc T7250 chipset. The itel City 200 is the most capable model of the trio. As it has 4/6GB of RAM and 128/256GB storage, it runs full Android 15. The other two have 3/4GB of RAM and 64/128GB storage, so they are relegated to Android 15 Go Edition software.
