Itel Zeno 20 Max Debuts in India With Unisoc T7100 Chipset and 5,000mAh Battery

Itel has expanded its budget smartphone lineup in India with the launch of the new Itel Zeno 20 Max. Positioned as an entry-level offering, the device is powered by the Unisoc T7100 chipset and is aimed at users looking for basic smartphone functionality at an affordable price. The phone supports up to 4GB of RAM and comes with 64GB of internal storage.

In terms of optics, the Itel Zeno 20 Max features a 13-megapixel rear camera for everyday photography, along with an 8-megapixel front-facing camera designed for selfies and video calls. One of the notable additions is Itel’s Dynamic Bar feature, which displays alerts and notifications around the front camera cutout, similar to features seen on higher-end smartphones.

Battery life is another highlight of the Zeno 20 Max. The handset is backed by a 5,000mAh battery, which should comfortably support a full day of usage on a single charge. Itel is offering the smartphone in three colour options—Aurora Blue, Space Titanium, and Starlit Black—giving buyers some choice in terms of design.

Pricing for the Itel Zeno 20 Max in India starts at Rs. 5,799 for the 3GB RAM and 64GB storage variant, while the 4GB RAM version with the same storage is priced at Rs. 6,169. The smartphone is currently available for purchase via Amazon. Additionally, Itel has confirmed that a higher-end variant with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage will be launched later this month.

Honor Confirms Magic 8 Pro Air Launch Timeline as New Leak Reveals Design and Colors

Honor expanded its flagship lineup last year with the launch of the Magic 8 Pro in China, introducing a smartphone powered by a massive 7,200mAh battery. Now, the company has confirmed that the Magic 8 series will soon grow with the addition of a new model called the Honor Magic 8 Pro Air. The upcoming handset is positioned as a lighter and slimmer alternative to the standard Pro variant.

According to an official announcement, the Honor Magic 8 Pro Air will debut in China in the fourth week of January. While Honor has not yet shared full specifications or feature details, the brand has begun teasing the device ahead of its launch, hinting at a premium experience in a more compact and lightweight design.

Honor confirmed via a post on Weibo that the Magic 8 Pro Air will be launched in China on January 19. The teaser uses the tagline “Pro in the Air,” suggesting that the smartphone aims to deliver flagship-level performance while prioritizing portability. This points to a design-focused approach without significantly compromising on power.

Adding to the anticipation, a tipster has shared multiple renders of the Honor Magic 8 Pro Air online. These images reveal the phone’s overall design, slim profile, colour options, and dimensions. Based on the leaked visuals, the Magic 8 Pro Air is expected to be the thin-and-light member of the Magic 8 family, with Honor likely to disclose more official details as the launch date approaches.

ChatGPT vs Gemini: 2025 Traffic Trends Reveal Why OpenAI Sounded the Alarm

As the competition in the AI space intensifies, ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini have clearly emerged as the two dominant consumer-facing platforms. OpenAI’s chatbot enjoyed a massive early advantage, having popularized generative AI well before major rivals entered the scene. Google, by contrast, stumbled out of the gate with early missteps such as the Bard rollout and image generation controversies, but Gemini has since rebounded and gained significant traction.

New traffic data from 2025 suggests that Gemini’s recovery is more than just cosmetic. According to website analytics, Google’s AI platform has been steadily cutting into ChatGPT’s dominance, largely driven by Google’s unparalleled distribution ecosystem across Search, Android, and its broader services. This shift appears to be reshaping the competitive balance between the two AI leaders.

Similarweb recently shared global generative AI website traffic data on X, tracking changes over the past 12 months. The figures show that ChatGPT’s share of worldwide AI web traffic declined sharply, falling from 86.7 percent at the start of the year to 64.5 percent by the end of 2025. While ChatGPT remains the market leader, the downward trend highlights growing competitive pressure.

During the same period, Gemini saw rapid growth, expanding its global traffic share from just 5.7 percent to 21.5 percent. Other platforms also made modest gains, with Grok and DeepSeek capturing 3.7 percent and 3.4 percent respectively, despite having little to no presence before 2025. Anthropic’s Claude posted a small increase, while Microsoft’s Copilot remained largely flat. However, the data is most significant for OpenAI and Google, as both companies aggressively drive users to their AI websites, unlike rivals that rely more heavily on app-based access or deep platform integrations.
