India is weighing sweeping smartphone security standards that could require Apple, Samsung, Google and Xiaomi to submit source code for review—part of a broader telecom cybersecurity crackdown aimed at stopping fraud, scams and data breaches. NEW DELHI — January 11, 2026 — India is considering a major overhaul of smartphone security rules that would force device makers to share source code for government review and redesign how phones handle sensitive permissions, pre-installed apps and software updates. The proposals—reported today in Reuters coverage—have triggered strong industry opposition from major brands and the manufacturers’ group MAIT, setting up a high-stakes policy fight over cybersecurity vs. proprietary technology and privacy.

Xiaomi Redmi K90 Ultra leak hints at a built‑in cooling fan, IP68 protection, and an 8,000mAh+ battery

January 10, 2026 — A new leak suggests Xiaomi is testing a Redmi performance flagship with a built-in cooling fan—and, unusually, it may still carry full IP68 dust and water resistance. If accurate, it could be one of the most ambitious attempts yet to bring gaming-phone thermal tech into a mainstream “flagship killer” design, while also chasing the next big trend: giant 8,000mAh-class batteries. Multiple outlets are pointing to the same origin: a claim attributed to well-known Weibo leaker Digital Chat Station. The gist is that a Xiaomi sub-brand is testing an engineering prototype powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500, and that prototype reportedly includes a physical internal cooling fan integrated into the camera “deco” / camera island area.

Samsung patent hints at a reversible flip phone with a 360-degree hinge

Samsung Electronics has filed a design patent for a flip-style foldable phone that appears to fold with either outer face on display, based on drawings published on the World Intellectual Property Organization’s database. The filing, spotted by gadget site XpertPick, shows a clamshell-style handset with no obvious “front” or “back” when shut. https://www.xpertpick.com/mobile/samsung-patents-reversible-flip-phone-design-with-dual-sided-display/ The sketches matter because the race in flip-style foldables has largely turned into a contest over the outside: bigger cover screens, more ways to use the phone without opening it, and fewer compromises. Android Headlines said Samsung’s design points in a different direction — a closed device that looks and feels similar whichever side is facing up. https://www.androidheadlines.com/2026/01/patent-reveals-samsungs-wild-reversible-flip-phone-design.html

Android’s time zone alert could finally tell you how many hours your clock changed

Google may soon make Android’s time zone change notification a lot more explicit, including the exact number of hours and minutes the device clock shifted, Android Authority reported on Thursday. The site said it found new “Clock change” notification strings in the latest Android Canary build, but could not trigger the alert to see how it looks. It is a small tweak, but time-zone math is where people still get tripped up — after a flight, during a layover, or on borders where phones can flip zones without warning. A system message that spells out the jump could prevent missed alarms and meetings.

Best Buy and Amazon are bundling a $100 gift card with purchases of OnePlus’s OnePlus 15, a promotion that sharpens the Chinese brand’s pitch against Samsung’s top-end Galaxy phones in the United States.

Pixel volume buttons broken after Android update? Workaround spreads as Accessibility Suite is blamed

A growing number of Google Pixel users are reporting that holding the volume buttons no longer changes audio continuously after recent Android updates, with some saying the keys now act “stuck” at one-step adjustments. A report said uninstalling Android Accessibility Suite updates or disabling a Select to Speak shortcut has restored normal behavior for many users, but Google has not publicly acknowledged the issue. The glitch matters because volume keys are one of the few hardware controls people use all day without thinking, across apps and on the lock screen. When that muscle memory breaks, it slows down everything from music playback to calls, and it is the sort of bug that users notice fast.
