Turns out Xiaomi has used different display panels in the Poco F7 Chinese and global variant

The Poco F7 in China features the same flagship TCL Huaxing M9 panel used in Xiaomi 15 Ultra while the global Poco F7 has a Tianma panel ...... not even Samsung Display.

Additionally, the Poco F7 global variant is also dual sourced with visionox panels as well which Xiaomi ofcourse won't reveal offcially unless you check dumps/firmware.
Xiaomi 15 Ultra globally has Samsung Display.

Nothing Headphone 1 Review Out Before Official Launch
Source — Yogesh Brar

Even before the Nothing Headphone 1 is officially announced worldwide tipster Yogesh Brar has dropped a full review after just five days of use exposing everything from sound quality to build to battery life. Since the tweet thread has been taken down likely due to being threatened by legal action from the Nothing team you can still view the full thread at this link. Here's a TL;DR for those who are considering it:

Design & Build
• Solid build; retro aesthetic (cassette player/defibrillator vibe)
• Ample padding, however, earpads could be softer
• A bit heavy; causes fatigue after long use (329g weight)

Sound Quality
• 40mm drivers, tuned by KEF — gets quite loud
• Default "Balanced" EQ has decent bass, clean mids
• Wired mode has limitations (only Volume & ANC controls work while play/pause will not work)

Features & Functionality
• Spatial Audio is mediocre
• Head tracking & dual device connection available
• On-head detection included

Battery Life: Not exceptional but acceptable
• 25 hrs on LDAC + ANC at 50% volume
• 45hrs on LDAC without ANC
• 65hrs on SBC/AAC codec

Active Noise Cancellation (ANC):
• Strong ANC in highest setting
• Effective at drowning out most frequencies
• Low, Mid, and Adaptive modes can be inconsistent

Controls: Feature a roller, paddle, button, and on/off switch, all on the right side.

Carry Case: Nice fabric feel, allows cup rotation for storage, but zipper quality is poor.

Verdict: Good for beginners and those seeking a quirky design. Serious audiophiles should consider Sennheiser and others. A good attempt by Nothing nevertheless.

BREAKING: Leaked Presentation Confirms Renders of the Nothing Phone (3) Design

A private presentation for Nothing Headphone (1) has inadvertently confirmed the design of the Nothing Phone (3), directly aligning with previously leaked renders.

The leaked image reveals a significantly smaller Glyph interface. Furthermore, the telephoto camera is not vertically aligned with the main camera below it, as some renders suggested. Its camera rings are also noticeably smaller than the main camera's.

So all those blind fans who had faith in Nothing by arguing that the leaked renders were fake can peacefully cry in the corner now.

If Carl Pei used Sennheiser's HD 650 headphones for 10 years which were launched back in 2003, (22 years ago), then it speaks about Sennheiser's sound quality as well as build quality unlike Nothing's products

Sennheiser basically commented on Reddit after seeing design of headphone 1 that:

The only way we’d make a design like that is if we were bought out again and had the best salespeople. Even then..

Your First Look At Nothing Phone 3 Renders and Specifications
Source

Nothing Phone 3 will launch on 1st July worldwide and Nothing is continuing with their very unique weird look on their smartphones. Talking about the design, the top is a telephoto camera which is not even aligned with the other cameras — main and ultrawide below it. The glyph interface has been dropped with a new glyph matrix which is placed on the top right corner beside camera module. Unlike glyph interface which covers spans across entire back panel, the glyph matrix is only a small circular portion. Also, the telephoto camera ring is smaller than the main sensor ring ???.
Really really weird design.

Nothing said it would be their first “true flagship” phone, yet it has a slower “flagship” chipset aka the Snapdragon 8s gen 4 instead of flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite. Other specifications are as follows:

• 6.7-inch 1.5K resolution OLED Display
• Vapor Cooling Chamber
• 50MP front camera
• 50MP main camera (LYT-700 ???)
• 50MP Ultrawide
• 50MP 3X Periscope telephoto camera (LYT-600 ???)
• 60X Ultra Zoom
• 10cm macro photography
• 5200mAh battery
• Upto 65W fast charging
• Essential Key
• 5 AndroidOS + 7yrs Security Patches

Pricing starts from 800$ onwards and under Rs.60,000 for India

The Silver Cyber Edition design is new but the vents shown on it are only for design and they are not real air vents.

Poco F7 indeed features the same TCL M9 panel used on the flagship Xiaomi 15 Ultra, but the display ICs are different due to cost-cutting. 15 Ultra feature display ICs from Synaptics while the F7 has Display IC from NovaTek. Previous Poco phones like Poco F3 and X3 Pro also came with NovaTek's display IC only.

Xiaomi After-Sales Service: A Long Road of Broken Promises
Twitter

A user’s flagship Xiaomi 13 Pro continues to face serious issues, even after "three" official repairs and multiple visits to service centers. The issues began after the May HyperOS 2 update, when a pink line appeared. The service center replaced the display, but things only got worse. For over 1.5 months, the device has been lagging, the screen frequently freezes, touch response fails, the fingerprint sensor stops working intermittently, it overheats, and there are serious battery drain problems.

The After Sales Manager gave multiple false promises. He claimed the device would be fixed at another center, said parts were being arranged, and even mentioned sending an expert engineer. But none of that ever happened, and there was no follow-up despite weeks of waiting & showing videos of the issues to both SC and the ASM.

The complaint escalated from Grievance Desk to Head of Customer Service Desk. Xiaomi’s premium desk claimed that the issue is related to software aka HyperOS 2. However, other Xiaomi 13 Pro users haven’t faced this issue. Despite two display replacements costing over ₹40,000 (~$500) to Xiaomi, issue still isn't permanently fixed.

Now, the matter reached Xiaomi India President's Office: L3 Level.
The Relationship Manager said the service center found NO issues during inspection and asked the user to take the device back. Videos showing the problems were dismissed since no faults were detected by the service center and they denied the device replacement as well.

The the user then demonstrated the issues live in front of the service center engineer. The fingerprint sensor and touch failed even after a full reset with no apps installed. Yet, the grievance team closed the complaint without resolving the problem.

These issues seems related to false touch detection which started happening after Xiaomi replaced the original display when pink line appeared. It’s frustrating to deal with such bad after sales service & support from Xiaomi for a flagship device when all anyone wants is a phone that actually works.

RIP Microsoft Windows BSOD
Verge

Microsoft is getting rid of Windows' Blue Screen of Death after 40 years by replacing it with BSOD, where 'B' means Black instead of Blue. Thus, say hello to the Black Screen of Death error message instead.

The new design drops the traditional blue color, frowning face, and QR code in favor of a simplified black screen. The simplified BSOD looks a lot more like the black screen you’d see during a Windows update but it will list the stop code and faulty system driver that you wouldn’t always see during a crash dump. The new BSOD screen will be rolling out to 24H2 later this summer.
