Built-in active cooling fans are all the rage in China currently, with a lot of manufacturers coming out with devices featuring one.

We're not exactly sure what this entails, but it could be a nod to flagship camera hardware and a larger battery capacity compared to rivals like the iPhone Air and Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. Tipster UniverseIce also shared a schematic render for the Magic 8 Air, which shows a brushed aluminum back with a visor design for its cameras that's quite similar to the Google Pixel series. This image is just a render, so the actual device may end up with a different design.

vivo held a big Chinese event this week, announcing the new OriginOS 6 and the X300 series in the X300 and the X300 Pro. OriginOS 6 is redesigned with a similar visual style to iOS 26 with transparent elements and a multi-layered look. OriginOS 6 is here to replace FunTouch OS and will get its global rollout later this month.

The phone is said to sport a 6.78-inch flat OLED screen with "1.5K" resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate, and the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 SoC at the helm paired with up to 16GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage. On the rear will be a 50 MP main camera using Sony's Lytia LYT-828 sensor, a 50 MP ultrawide using Samsung's ISOCELL JN5 sensor, and a 200 MP periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom using Samsung's ISOCELL HP5 sensor.
