MediaTek’s Dimensity 9600 Pro is its first 2nm phone chip.

It packs Arm’s new G2-Ultra NX GPU, supports 4K at 240fps slow-motion video, and has two NPUs for more (and more efficient) AI processing. Its joined by a 9600M chip for cheaper models. Oppo has already said its Find X10 Pro Max will use the 9600 Pro, as will Vivo’s X500 Pro. Update: Added Oppo and Vivo hardware confirmations.

Roborock finally brings a roller mop to its flagship robovac.

The company’s Saros 20 Flow goes on sale today for $1,499.99 (down from $1,699.99). At 3.53 inches tall, it’s one of the slimmest roller mop models, and with 36,000 Pa suction, camera-based obstacle recognition, and the ability to climb multi-layer thresholds, this robot should be able to get the job done. I got a first look at IFA last week and plan to test it soon.

Today’s Vergecast: Who is the $1,059 Steam VR headset for?

Sean Hollister got his hands and face on Valve’s new VR headset, the Steam Frame. It’s expensive, starting at more than $1,000. It’s buggy — he and CNET’s Scott Stein both felt like beta testers as they reviewed it.

This week on The Vergecast, Sean and Scott discuss who exactly this device is for, in a world that mostly seems to have moved on from VR.
