Hasta La Gadget!

With smartphones getting more powerful each and every generation, it makes sense to harness that power and put it to good use maybe even as a personal computer, and the folks at Mountain View are also thinking about that, at least accordning to this latest piece of news.

Google is actively developing a native desktop mode for Android, aiming to provide an integrated alternative to Samsung DeX. This upcoming feature, hidden within the code of Android 16, was recently tested by Android Authority, which managed to activate it for the first time.

While the mode appears to be in an advanced stage of development, it is not yet complete. Its official rollout could happen in a future quarterly update for Android 16 or possibly only with the release of Android 17.

What sets this native desktop mode apart is its fully functional interface, which resembles Samsung DeX but offers the distinct advantage of being built directly into the Android operating system. This means it could be accessible to a much wider range of Android devices, rather than being limited to Samsung hardware.

During early testing, the interface revealed several desktop-like elements, including a taskbar, status bar, and a vertical app drawer designed for use on horizontally oriented screens, much like traditional computer monitors.

The mode already supports key multitasking features such as pinning favorite apps, switching between tasks, and opening applications in free-floating, resizable windows. These capabilities echo the freeform window mode introduced on Android tablets with version 15, now adapted for a broader desktop experience.

One of the most notable enhancements is the ability to manage multiple displays. Users will be able to utilize the phone’s screen as a secondary display, allowing them to move and position content between the external monitor and the phone in a way similar to what is found in desktop operating systems like Windows.

Although Google has yet to officially announce the feature, it is likely that the company will introduce it soon, especially given the upcoming major events scheduled for May. The development of this desktop mode also aligns with Google’s broader strategy to unify Android and ChromeOS.

For this convergence to succeed, Android must evolve to better support productivity-focused interfaces, and this desktop mode is a significant step in that direction.

Still hidden from public view, the Android native desktop mode remains in development. However, its current level of polish suggests that it has the potential to change how Android smartphones are used in work and productivity contexts. By making desktop-like functionality available to all compatible devices, Google could democratize a feature that has so far been exclusive to select manufacturers.

At Lenovo’s Tech World Shanghai 2025, the company unveiled its most ambitious gaming laptop yet: the 18-inch Lenovo Legion 9i 10th generation. Following the release of the Legion 7i Pro 10th gen at CES 2025, the new device is the successor to the 16-inch Legion 9i unveiled at CES 2024.
Packed with top hardware features, including a 2D/3D glass-free display, this powerhouse could replace a mobile workstation for gaming enthusiasts, fulfilling the motto “work hard, play hard”.

Initially launching in China, with a North American release to follow, the Legion 9i 18-inch includes top-notch components, such as an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU, an Nvidia RTX 5090 GPU, up to 192GB of RAM, and 8TB of storage.

Display With An Optional Glass-free 2D/3D Panel

The Legion 9i 10^th gen features an 18-inch PureSight display in two configurations. The standard 2D panel offers a 3840 x 2400 resolution with a 240Hz refresh rate, for smooth gameplay. The optional 2D/3D display relies on eye-tracking and a lenticular lens array to deliver glasses-free 3D at 1920 x 1200 resolution. This dual-mode screen can switch between 4K 2D and 2K 3D, with refresh rates reaching up to 440Hz in Full HD mode.
Lenovo’s 3D Studio software complements the hardware, supporting 3D viewing for various video, image, and streaming formats. Additionally, it enables 3D gameplay for 30 popular titles, including Cyberpunk 2077, God of War Ragnarök, and Forza Horizon 5.

Top-notch Performance and Hardware Customization

Under the hood, the Legion 9i is powered by Intel’s Core Ultra 9 275HX processor and can be configured with up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU featuring 24GB of GDDR7 memory. This combination delivers a total power output of up to 280W, ensuring top gaming and content creation performance.
The laptop supports up to 192GB of dual-channel DDR5 RAM and up to 8TB of SSD storage across four slots, including one PCIe Gen 5 slot. This modular design allows users to upgrade components as needed, providing flexibility for future enhancements.

Advanced Cooling and AI Integration

To manage the substantial power output, Lenovo has integrated its Legion Coldfront: Vapor cooling system, which maintains optimal temperatures while keeping noise levels below 48 decibels in performance mode.
The Legion 9i also features the Lenovo AI Core chip and AI Engine+, which dynamically adjust system settings based on user activity. These AI-driven tools optimize performance for various tasks, from gaming to rendering, and include features like Game Coach and Game Clip Master to enhance the user experience.

Design and Connectivity

Aesthetically, the Legion 9i boasts a unique carbon fiber lid made from eight layers of aviation-grade material, resulting in a lightweight yet durable chassis. Each lid features a distinct pattern, ensuring that no two units are identical.
Lenovo offers a broad range of connectivity options, including two Thunderbolt 5 ports, four USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, HDMI 2.1, an Ethernet port, and a full-size SD card slot. Wireless connectivity is equally robust, with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 support.

Availability

The Lenovo Legion 9i (18″, 10) will first launch in China, with a North American release expected in the fall. While pricing details have not been disclosed, the premium specifications suggest it will be positioned at the high end of the market.

Realme has revealed a new concept smartphone called the Realme GT 10,000mAh, introducing it alongside teasers for the upcoming GT 7 series. This concept device focuses on groundbreaking battery technology, boasting a massive 10,000mAh capacity — the largest ever proposed by a major smartphone brand. It follows the recent release of the Honor Power phone in April, which came with an 8,000mAh battery, but Realme has taken the concept even further.

Despite its unusually large battery, the Realme GT 10,000mAh concept phone maintains a surprisingly slim and lightweight design. The device measures only 8.5mm in thickness and weighs just over 200 grams. This feat is made possible by using an ultra-high silicon-content anode battery, featuring a 10% silicon ratio — the highest in the smartphone industry — and an energy density of 887Wh/L. These specifications allow Realme to house a much larger battery without adding excessive bulk.

To fit the high-capacity battery into a sleek frame, Realme developed a new internal layout called the “Mini Diamond Architecture.” This structure supports what Realme claims to be the world’s narrowest Android mainboard, measuring just 23.4mm. The design innovation has earned the company over 60 global patents. Aesthetically, the phone also features a semi-transparent back, offering a glimpse of the internal components and reinforcing its status as a concept device.

The back panel is boldly branded with “10,000mAh” and the tagline “Power That Never Stops,” emphasizing the phone’s key selling point. While it includes a dual-camera setup, the highlight remains its battery capacity and slim form factor.

Although the Realme GT 10,000mAh may not be released commercially, it is expected to be showcased during the upcoming GT 7 series launch. The concept illustrates Realme’s ambition to push the boundaries of battery performance in modern smartphones.
