OnePlus N6x – Internal Storage Type Confirmed

As per a screenshot of a WhatsApp conversation shared by a user on X, the user specifically asked the OnePlus support team about the internal storage type equipped on the latest OnePlus N6x smartphone.

Responding to the query, the OnePlus support representative reportedly confirmed that the smartphone uses eMMC 5.1-based internal storage operating in the HS400 mode. Thus putting an end to the rumour regarding the storage type.

OnePlus N6x 5G – Memory Support

A similar confusion was also recently seen surrounding the Samsung Galaxy M47 5G and its rebranded Galaxy F70 Pro 5G version. Samsung had listed the devices with LPDDR5X RAM, although Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset does not support LPDDR5X memory speeds.

The brand later clarified through the Galaxy F70 Pro 5G microsite that although LPDDR5X memory is integrated into the smartphone, it can only deliver up to LPDDR5-level performance because of the limitations of the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 processor.

It would have been better if the internal storage type of the OnePlus N6x had been clearly disclosed through its official specifications, preventing confusion among potential buyers. Nevertheless, following the response shared by the OnePlus support team, the device is now understood to feature eMMC 5.1-based storage operating in the HS400 mode.

Nothing OS 5.0 Based on Android 17 – Expected Eligible Devices

At present, Nothing has not officially announced the Nothing OS 5.0 update or revealed its rollout timeline and list of eligible devices. However, if the brand follows a similar update schedule as last year, its Android 17-based operating system could probably be released sometime around November 2026.

Based on the software update policies announced for the devices at the time of their respective launches, the following Nothing and CMF smartphones are expected to be eligible for the upcoming update.

Nothing Smartphones

• Nothing Phone (4a) Pro
• Nothing Phone (4a)
• Nothing Phone (4b)
• Nothing Phone (3)
• Nothing Phone (3a) Pro
• Nothing Phone (3a)
• Nothing Phone (3a) Lite
• Nothing Phone (2a) Plus
• Nothing Phone (2a)

CMF Smartphones

• CMF Phone 2 Pro

Looking into the software support policies of the Nothing Phone (2a) and Phone (2a) Plus, the two devices were launched with Android 14 and were promised three major Android OS updates. This suggests that Nothing OS 5.0 based on Android 17 will likely be their final major operating system update.

It must also be noted that the Nothing Phone (2) and CMF Phone 1 are not included in the above-mentioned list, as Nothing OS 4.0 based on Android 16 was their final promised major operating system update. However, the two devices could continue receiving security patches and maintenance updates as per their respective software support timelines.

Since Nothing has not yet officially announced the update or confirmed the eligible devices, the above-mentioned list must be considered an expected one based on the brand’s existing software support policies. More details concerning its features, rollout timeline, and eligible devices could probably be revealed in the coming months.

Stay tuned for more updates!

Flipkart Plus x Netflix – Free Mobile Plan Benefit

As per the details given on the official Flipkart Plus x Netflix FAQ page, active Flipkart Plus members will be able to unlock a complimentary Netflix Mobile plan by completing four eligible orders in a calendar month, placed through Flipkart, Flipkart Minutes, or Flipkart Grocery, with each order of INR 299 minimum value.

However, the orders will only be counted after they have been successfully completed, meaning that they must not be cancelled and their respective return windows must also have ended.

It must also be noted that purchases made under certain categories will not be counted towards this benefit. These include gold and silver coins or bars, infant formula and baby food, baby cereal, cigarettes and tobacco products, Flipkart gift cards, digital products, and Flipkart-branded cartons or packaging boxes purchased by sellers.

Once four eligible orders have been completed within a calendar month, users can visit the Netflix Benefits page by following the below-mentioned path:

Flipkart App > My Account > Plus Page > Netflix Page

From there, users will have to tap on the ‘Claim Now’ option, following which they will be redirected to Netflix, and users can then sign in or create an account using their email address or phone number and complete the OTP verification process to activate the subscription.

The complimentary subscription is limited to the Netflix Mobile plan, which allows streaming on one smartphone or tablet at a time in standard-definition quality. Users will not be able to select the Standard, Premium, or other higher Netflix plans under this offer.

If you use your existing credentials and you have a higher active Netflix subscription, that will be replaced by the Netflix Mobile Plan. So it would be wise to use a different email address or phone number if you do not want to lose your existing plan benefits.

Validity and Monthly Renewal

The Netflix Mobile subscription unlocked through Flipkart will remain valid for 30 days from the date on which the fourth successful order is completed and can also be renewed every month by completing four eligible orders before the current subscription expires. Users are therefore advised to claim the benefit as soon as they complete the required number of orders.

If a member fails to complete the required orders during a particular month, there will be no penalty, and the eligibility process can be started again during the following calendar month.

The Flipkart and Netflix partnership has gone live starting from the 1st of August 2026. However, Flipkart has pointed out that the benefit may not immediately appear for every eligible Plus member and could be made available gradually.

Users who are not currently Flipkart Plus members can become eligible for the membership by completing 15 successful orders within a year.

Today, the company has announced it will not launch a standalone Google AI Studio mobile app.

thank you to the ~800,000 of you that pre-ordered our mobile app on iOS and Android — it’s clear that people are interested in building software on the go

instead of asking you to download yet another app we’ve decided to take an entirely different approach: one where apps…

— Google AI Studio (@GoogleAIStudio) July 31, 2026

Despite receiving 800,000 pre-orders for this app on iOS and Android, the company has taken this decision, mentioning that they do not want to ask users to download just another app.

Instead, Google is partnering with the Gemini app team to integrate Google AI Studio into the Gemini app on mobile and desktop. The company plans to integrate features so that apps emerge naturally during everyday conversations with Gemini on mobile or desktop.

Looks like Google is aiming at the expansion of Gemini with this new plan that will allow developers to create apps within Gemini itself.

It is also announced that Google will continue investing in the AI Studio web platform, targeting users who focus on advancing from initial ideas and prompts to building production-ready business applications.

Let’s wait to hear the announcement of Google AI Studio integration in the Gemini mobile and desktop apps.
