Update
Huawei’s Devices CTO is reportedly testing the upcoming Pura 80.
Huawei‘s top tech boss, Bruce Lee, is now using a new, secret phone on social media. This probably means it is the new Pura 80 that’s coming soon. Huawei leaders often show off new phones this way before they’re officially released.
In accordance with , current leaks and rumors, the company could choose June for the earliest unveiling date, but an official announcement is yet to arrive.
Huawei typically releases its P-series phones in the first six months of the year. For 2024, they changed the name to Pura, starting with the Pura 70 series. Last year, they launched in April. This year, the timing is different, not due to how they are made, but because of other product launches.
Huawei introduced the Pura X in March. This is their new foldable phone, and it is special because it has a wide screen and runs on Huawei’s own HarmonyOS system.
Previous month , Huawei was very busy! They released a new kind of laptop that folds, called the MateBook Fold Ultimate Design. They also launched their new Nova 14 phones at the same event. Because they had so many big products coming out at once, the new Pura 80 will be launched at a different time than the previous model.
The Pura 80 is shaping up with impressive cameras. It is said to have a 50-megapixel smart camera and a 50-megapixel zoom camera. They both use a special way to get more light into your pictures. The top-of-the-line model will also come with a super clear, slightly curved screen.
At present , the head of Huawei’s consumer products, He Gang, accidentally showed a test version of the new phone. It had a big hole for the camera, but otherwise looked just like the old model.
Samsung is making its next update, One UI 8.5. It will have better speed and smart features, but a small, pretty design change is also getting attention. The update has a new picture on the “Software Update” screen that you can save and use as your wallpaper.
Samsung has completely revamped the Software Update page in One UI 8.5. It replaces the former plain design with a colorful and modern one. This new look, defined by its soft gradients and circular forms, offers a serene and tidy feel, closely mirroring the default wallpaper style of the Galaxy A-series.
Many users think the new banner looks like a great wallpaper. Now you can download the high-quality image and set it as your home or lock screen background. Enjoy the new design before the official update even arrives.

It’s a small tweak, but it tells us Samsung is focused on giving One UI a more refined and contemporary feel. They’ve also switched to a card-style layout on the update screen, which makes everything look cleaner and easier to read.
One UI 8.5 will likely debut with the Galaxy S26 in early 2026 before reaching older models. If you’re curious, you can get a sneak peek now by using the new banner as your wallpaper. It’s a fun way to try a piece of the update early.

Huawei is integrating its connectivity technologies directly into the HarmonyOS 6 user interface. The company has officially detailed a new Control Center toggle that lets the system intelligently switch between the high-bandwidth of NearLink and the broad compatibility of Bluetooth, creating a single, unified wireless experience.
In accordance with the previous details, the HarmonyOS 6.0 NearLink & Bluetooth switch will show up in the Control Center. It merges two different features into one tab.
Earlier, the functions of this feature were unclear. But Huawei revealed the details of this NearLink + Bluetooth button. The company mentioned the following points:
HarmonyOS
- When a NearLink device is connected, the Control Center will display the name of the respective NearLink device.
-
Look in the Control Center to see your connected Bluetooth device.
-
To manage both NearLink and Bluetooth devices, simply press and hold the “NearLink | Bluetooth” switch.
This new feature merges both tools into one, letting you connect to nearby devices effortlessly and without interruption.
Though no additional information was provided, this strategic enhancement serves as a strong indicator of Huawei’s future roadmap for its ecosystem.
Having successfully rolled out HarmonyOS NEXT to over 20 million devices, Huawei is leveraging that momentum to ensure its next software iteration is its most interesting and user-centric yet.
The Chinese phone maker will not only tweak the UI elements of the device but will also boost the security features and other significant aspects inside the handset.

Samsung will discontinue official support for at least five of its older wearable devices in 2026. This means these watches will no longer receive software updates or security patches.
Samsung is cutting off key services for five Tizen watches. An official notice states that both the Galaxy Store and Galaxy Wearable apps will soon stop working on these devices entirely.
“Watching a trusted device become obsolete is always disappointing. While this end-of-support cycle is an unavoidable part of the tech industry, Samsung’s support lifespan still remains more generous than many competitors.

In accordance with the announcement, the following Tizen-powered models are subject to this support termination: Galaxy Watch Active, Galaxy Watch Active2, Gear S3, Galaxy Watch, and Galaxy Watch3. This revision excludes all Wear OS-based devices, such as the Galaxy Watch4 and subsequent releases.
The end of support for these apps is critical. The Galaxy Store is essential for downloading apps, while Galaxy Wearable connects the watch to a phone. Without them in 2026, users will lose significant functionality.
The ability to download content on older Tizen watches will be terminated on January 1, 2026. You have until then to update and download your favorite apps before the service is barred.
If you’re still using a Tizen smartwatch, don’t panic. Your downloaded apps will remain functional as long as you don’t remove them. However, they will no longer receive updates or new features.
Samsung announced, “We ceased using Tizen OS after the Galaxy Watch3 in 2020. As a result, and in accordance with the Galaxy Store’s service operation policy, support will be available only until December 2025.
