Let’s start today’s tech news with the OPPO Find X8 spotted on Geekbench, Samsung could launch a rollable Phone and Google is working on cross-device notification sync.
OPPO Find X8 Spotted on Geekbench
First of all, starting the OPPO Find X8, the upcoming OPPO flagship has been spotted on Geekbench and is supposed to have a MediaTek Dimensity 9400 processor. The Geekbench spots the name OPPO PKB110. With a single-core score of 2861 and a Multi-core score of 8996. It shows the following CPU configuration:
Cluster 1 | 4 Cores @ 2.40 GHz |
Cluster 2 | 3 Cores @ 3.30 GHz |
Cluster 3 | 1 Core @ 3.63 GHz |
That closely resembles the MediaTek Dimensity 9400, running on 16GB RAM.

Samsung launching the first rollable phone sometime soon
According to TheLec, reports that Samsung is working on a rollable phone, featuring a 12.4-inch screen when unfurled. That would be much larger than existing foldable phones and larger than the Mate XT and its 10.2-inch display. The phone is also said to offer an under-display selfie camera.
The outlet suggested that Samsung’s device could be released in the second half of 2025, which would likely make it the first company to offer a rollable phone for sale.
The news also comes after LG, TECNO, and OPPO all showed off rollable phones. OPPO showed off its rollable concept in 2021 (seen above), while TECNO showed off its own concept last year. Meanwhile, LG was poised to actually release a rollable phone when it decided to exit the smartphone industry in 2021.
Google is working on cross-device notification sync
One of Android’s main strengths is its notification panel, which allows you to take relevant actions without even having to open the app. But it is far from perfect, with the biggest quirk being the lack of notification syncing across devices. So, even if you dismiss a notification from one of your phones, it will still appear on your secondary phone or tablet. It seems Google is finally working on a solution to this problem.
Android expert Mishaal Rahman found code and strings in Android 15 QPR1 Beta 2 related to a “sync across devices” option under Settings > Notifications. There’s no description of the feature in the code yet, but Mishaal, in his Android Authority report, claims that it could be related to cross-device notification syncing.
The report suggests Google might not limit notification syncing across devices to Pixels. Instead, the feature could be available on all Android phones and tablets, likely through Google Play Services.
As of now, it is too early to confirm when Google will roll out cross-device notification sync between Android devices. There’s no mention of notification syncing in the latest Google Play Services, indicating it might be in the early stages of development.
Until Google gets around to rolling out cross-device notification syncing for Android, you can use third-party apps like KDE Connect and Pushbullet as a workaround.
