Xiaomi has taken curtains off the latest addition to its 17 series, the Xiaomi 17 Max, which is confirmed to launch in China later this month. Alongside revealing the new model, the company has also teased its design and color options. The smartphone is also available for pre-order in China.
The Huawei Mate 80 Pro has officially made its long-awaited international debut. Malaysia is the first country outside of China to have the flagship on open sale, and it arrives with a MYR 3,999 price tag, which converts to around $1,017. That nets you the 16GB RAM and 512GB storage trim, which is available directly from Huawei's official online store as well as partnering retailers and can be had in Gold, Green, and Black colors.

Our 15T unit comes in Black, but you can also get one in Rose Gold, which is similar to the Mocha Brown of the 15T Pro. The 15T downgrades the 6.83-inch 2772x1280px AMOLED to 120Hz, but the panel has the same 480Hz touch sampling rate, and 3,200 nits of peak brightness. The protective layer above the display is the same flat sheet of Gorilla Glass 7i.
Instead, the glitz and glamor came with the introduced with a theatrical flair, balanced on a single finger at the Steve Jobs Theater to a chorus of "oohs and ahhs." Notably, Apple is branding the iPhone Air as a first-generation product; it's not the iPhone 17 Air or iPhone 17S. Even then, the device offers the "power of Pro," a phrase that we're not talking about enough.
