AirPods go max!

OPPO’s Reno series enters 5th gen in under 2 years

A third mode, the Reno5 Pro+ with a Snapdragon 865 processor will launch later this month.
Their watch starts now
Two new smartwatches were announced last week. The Mi Watch Lite arrived first with a striking resemblance to the Redmi Watch but with more sports modes, GPS, and longer battery life. boAt, the Indian company which climbed to the 5th spot on IDC’s list of largest wearable brands in Q3 2020, also announced its latest offering, the Enigma. It supports fewer sports modes than the Mi Watch Lite but has a SpO2 sensor and a cheaper price tag.
