Samsung's M16 LEAD OLED display technology could be adopted in the iQOO 16 smartphone and Apple's first foldable device, according to a report from Tech-ish. The outlet describes how this next-generation display technology could improve future phones, suggesting that Samsung's panels may feature in devices from competing manufacturers. The report frames the development as a sign of Samsung's continued role as a key display supplier, though specific launch dates, specifications, and pricing for the devices were not confirmed in the available information.

Samsung's Galaxy S27 Edge is rumoured to launch in 2027 equipped with a 4,300mAh silicon-carbon battery, according to a report from Tech-ish.

Silicon-carbon batteries are seen as a way to boost energy density in slim smartphones. Details remain unconfirmed, as the information comes from rumour rather than any official Samsung announcement.

Huawei has launched its nova 16s and nova 16s Pro smartphones outside China, priced at €599 and €749 respectively. According to Tech-ish, both devices feature 7,000mAh batteries and support 100W charging.

The device continues Xiaomi's line of affordable wearable fitness trackers aimed at budget-conscious consumers seeking health monitoring features.
