Logitech is updating one of its most popular entry-level wireless gaming mice. The company has announced the G305 X Superlight, a revamped version of the classic G305 that significantly cuts down on weight and introduces modern internal hardware, all while maintaining an accessible $79.99 price point.

Logitech G G305 X Superlight Specifications

The original G305 was heavy compared to most current gaming mice, largely because it required a disposable AA battery. The G305 X Superlight switches to a built-in rechargeable battery, which helps bring the total weight down to 59 grams. Logitech is also using exposed screws on the exterior of the mouse chassis. The company says this design choice is intended to make the mouse easier to open and repair, which should help extend its usable lifespan.

Logitech G G305 X Superlight

Inside, Logitech has swapped in a newer HERO sensor. It supports up to 44,000 DPI, handles acceleration over 40G, and tracks at 678 inches per second. The standard polling rate is 1,000Hz using the included USB-A receiver. If you prefer a higher polling rate for lower input latency, the mouse is compatible with Logitech’s PRO Wireless Receiver, which is sold separately and pushes the rate up to 8,000Hz.

For connectivity, the mouse supports three modes: Logitech’s proprietary 2.4GHz Lightspeed wireless, standard Bluetooth, and a wired connection via USB-C. Logitech estimates the battery will last for about 130 hours of continuous use on a full charge. It also supports fast charging, where plugging it in for two minutes provides around three and a half hours of battery life.

The rest of the feature set is standard for this price bracket. It has six programmable buttons, a standard scroll wheel, and onboard memory that can store up to five user profiles. You can adjust the DPI, button mapping, and the Lightsync RGB lighting using the Logitech G Hub desktop software.

The mouse incorporates post-consumer recycled plastic in its construction, 65% for the black model and 51% for the white model. The G305 X Superlight will be available for purchase on June 30, 2026.

In related news, Logitech has recently unveiled its first foldable portable mouse, featuring a unique design that folds in half for easier carrying and slips comfortably into a pocket when not in use.

This 10,000mAh power bank splits into two independent power banks

By
Debasish
-

In a sea of pretty standard power banks, Nimble’s new Sharepower Portable Charger actually does something different and genuinely useful. The big idea? You can physically split it into two separate power banks whenever you want, perfect for sharing with a friend, charging two devices at once, or just being more flexible on the go.

When snapped together, it works as a single 10,000mAh power bank with up to 35W total output, letting you charge up to three devices at the same time. Pull it apart (thanks to strong magnets and pogo pins), and you get two independent 5,000mAh chargers, each capable of delivering up to 20W.

The two halves are thoughtfully designed: One side has a built-in braided USB-C cable, an extra USB-C port, and four LED lights for battery status. The other side features a USB-C port plus a clever foldable USB-C connector that plugs directly into your phone, along with a clear digital percentage display so you always know how much juice is left.

It’s compact, comes with a braided carry handle (which also doubles as the integrated cable), and feels well-made. You can grab it now on Nimble’s website for $79.95 in classic White or two limited-edition colors — Liquid Crystal Blue and Liquid Crystal Pink — with a cool ripple texture that looks pretty premium.

Nimble is calling the Sharepower the world’s first truly sharable battery. Whether you’re traveling, heading out with friends, or just managing multiple devices, this modular design is genuinely clever. Each half can charge a single device nicely, and together they give you more power when you need it.

If you’re tired of regular power banks and want something more versatile, the Sharepower looks like a really interesting option. It’s available now directly from Nimble and should start appearing at other retailers soon.

Casio launches new translucent G-Shock that blends 90s streetwear style with rugged durability

By
Soumyakanti
-

Casio has announced a new addition to its G-Shock lineup, partnering with the Seoul-based clothing brand thisisneverthat for a custom version of the standard DW-5600. The new model, officially named the DW-5600TNT-7, is scheduled to launch in July 2026. It takes the familiar DW-5600 square shape and updates it with clear materials and a few specific design adjustments.

Casio DW-5600TNT-7 G-Shock

Design Details

Casio used a translucent, clear resin for both the outer bezel and the watch band. The watch face features an inverted LCD, meaning the background is black and the numbers are light, which provides a high-contrast look against the clear resin.

The thisisneverthat logo appears in multiple locations, including the upper section of the dial above the display, the translucent strap keeper, and the stainless-steel case back.

The words PROTECTION and G-SHOCK, which are typically just molded or painted onto the top and bottom of the bezel, are coated in a phosphorescent finish on this model. This means the text itself glows in the dark, separate from the watch’s internal screen lighting.

Casio DW-5600TNT-7 G-Shock
Casio DW-5600TNT-7 G-Shock

Internally, the watch relies on the standard technology you would expect from the DW-5600 series. It measures 48.9 by 42.8 by 13.4 millimeters and weighs 52 grams. The screen is covered by mineral glass. It includes Casio’s standard shock resistance and is water-resistant up to 200 meters.

The daily feature set is straightforward. It includes a 1/100-second stopwatch, a 24-hour countdown timer, and a multi-function alarm. There is also a flash alert setting that blinks the white LED backlight when an alarm or timer goes off. For power, the watch uses a standard CR2016 coin-cell battery.

Casio estimates the battery life at about five years, meaning you will eventually need to open the case to swap it out, as this model does not include the company’s solar charging technology.

Pricing and Availability

The DW-5600TNT-7 is currently listed on Casio’s international site and will retail for ¥18,700 ($116) in Japan when it releases this July. It will ship in a custom box designed specifically for the collaboration.

In related news, Casio recently brought the retro-inspired AQ230A-7DMQY to the US with a stainless steel bracelet, while also launching the premium MTG-B4000B-1A G-Shock featuring a carbon fiber and stainless steel construction.

PrevNext

1. Design and Display

Build and Feel

The Motorola Edge 70 Pro+ focuses on practicality with its eco-leather rear panel, Gorilla Glass 7i protection, IP68/IP69 certification, and MIL-STD-810H compliance. The textured finish offers a secure grip and tends to resist fingerprints better than glossy glass backs. The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE takes a more premium approach with Gorilla Glass Victus+ on both the front and rear, paired with an enhanced aluminum frame. It feels more flagship-like and carries a cleaner, more refined appearance. Samsung’s use of premium materials may appeal to buyers who prioritize a traditional high-end design.

Display Quality

Motorola gains a clear advantage in display specifications with its 144Hz AMOLED panel, higher resolution, and an impressive peak brightness rating. The screen feels exceptionally smooth and vibrant, particularly during gaming and fast scrolling. Samsung counters with a Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X panel that can intelligently adjust refresh rates for efficiency while delivering excellent color accuracy and HDR performance. The lower resolution is noticeable on paper but less so in daily use.

Verdict

The Galaxy S25 FE feels more premium, but the Edge 70 Pro+ delivers a more impressive display experience overall.

2. Specifications Including Battery

Performance

The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE is powered by the Exynos 2400, a flagship-grade chipset that offers stronger raw performance, better graphics capability, and enhanced AI processing. It is better suited for demanding multitasking, high-end gaming, and long-term performance consistency. The Motorola Edge 70 Pro+ uses the Dimensity 8500 Extreme, which remains highly capable and efficient for everyday use while providing smooth performance across apps and games. Motorola also includes 12GB RAM as standard, giving it an advantage in memory-intensive workloads.

Battery and Charging

Battery life is one of Motorola’s strongest advantages. Its large 6500mAh silicon-carbon battery comfortably exceeds the Galaxy S25 FE’s 4900mAh capacity, making it a better choice for heavy users. Charging is also significantly faster with 90W wired support, while Samsung relies on 45W charging. Both devices support wireless charging, though Samsung benefits from Qi2 compatibility and a more mature wireless ecosystem.

Verdict

Samsung wins on processing power and software longevity, while Motorola offers superior battery endurance and charging convenience.

3. Camera

Main and Secondary Lenses

Both smartphones feature capable 50MP primary cameras with optical image stabilization, delivering strong results in daylight and challenging lighting conditions. Samsung’s image processing generally produces more consistent colors, dynamic range, and video quality, while Motorola often delivers a slightly more natural look. The biggest hardware advantage belongs to Motorola, which includes a 50MP periscope telephoto camera and a 50MP ultrawide sensor. Samsung uses an 8MP telephoto and a 12MP ultrawide camera, making the overall camera hardware less impressive on paper. Motorola’s higher-resolution secondary sensors provide greater flexibility and detail retention.

Selfie Camera

Motorola again leads in specifications with a 50MP autofocus front camera capable of capturing sharper images and better group selfies. Samsung’s 12MP sensor produces reliable results and excellent video quality but lacks the same level of detail.

Verdict

Samsung delivers dependable image processing and video performance, but Motorola offers a more versatile and powerful overall camera setup.

4. Pricing

The Motorola Edge 70 Pro+ is priced around $600/ ₹48,000, while the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE is priced around $700 / ₹50,000. The difference is relatively small, making the comparison more about priorities than budget. Motorola provides a stronger hardware package with a higher-end display, larger battery, faster charging, more RAM, and superior secondary cameras. Samsung, however, justifies its pricing through its flagship-grade chipset, premium construction, One UI experience, and extended software support.

Is the Price Justified?

At its price, the Edge 70 Pro+ delivers exceptional value because it offers upgrades in several areas that directly impact daily use. The S25 FE is also reasonably priced, particularly for users who value software reliability and long-term updates. The extra investment feels worthwhile for buyers planning to keep their device for many years.

Verdict

Motorola offers better hardware value, while Samsung’s pricing is supported by software longevity and ecosystem advantages.

Disclaimer:
Prices are approximate and may vary based on country, region, launch timing, and applicable taxes. Always check whether the listed price is for a China unit or a global/international variant when purchasing.

5. Conclusion

The Motorola Edge 70 Pro+ stands out with its 144Hz display, 6500mAh silicon-carbon battery, 90W charging, 50MP periscope telephoto camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 50MP autofocus selfie camera. These features create a specification sheet that is unusually strong for its price category. The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE counters with a flagship-class Exynos 2400 processor, premium glass-and-aluminum construction, Samsung DeX support, Qi2-compatible wireless charging, and an industry-leading commitment of seven major Android upgrades. Samsung’s ecosystem integration is also a major attraction for users who already own other Galaxy products.

Verdict

For buyers seeking the best hardware package and maximum value, the Motorola Edge 70 Pro+ is the stronger overall choice. For those prioritizing software support, ecosystem features, and flagship-grade processing power, the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE remains an excellent alternative. 

Overall, the Edge 70 Pro+ delivers more for the money, while the S25 FE focuses on long-term ownership and refinement.

Disclaimer: This comparison is based on the specifications provided and is intended for general informational purposes. Actual performance, camera results, battery life, and overall experience may vary depending on real-world usage, software updates, and individual preferences.

Xiaomi 18 Pro and Xiaomi 18 will launch separately, per this leak

By
Rajesh Regmi
-

Xiaomi 18 recently surfaced in the GSMA product database, confirming its existence. Based on how Xiaomi rolls out its flagships, the new Xiaomi 18 series should reach buyers as early as September this year.

However, tipster Digital Chat Station in a fresh reveal says Xiaomi is switching up its usual release order this time around. Instead of launching the standard and Pro models together, Xiaomi will reportedly bring out the higher-spec Xiaomi 18 Pro series first in September, with the standard Xiaomi 18 following shortly after. 

Xiaomi 18 Pro and Xiaomi 18 launch

The gap between the two launches will not be large, and both phones are said to be available for purchase before the Chinese Spring Festival, which falls in February.

Now, if that sounds familiar, that’s because it is. Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 18 Pro in September, while the vanilla iPhone 18 is rumored to follow later in 2027. Xiaomi seems to be employing the same approach.

And…it might not be the only thing Xiaomi will copy from Apple—rumors suggest the company also plans to use the signature red color expected for the iPhone 18 series.

A price hike is the bigger issue

A bigger concern is that the Xiaomi 18 series is said to cost noticeably more than its predecessors. And this isn’t a Xiaomi-only move. Rising costs across the upstream supply chain are pushing prices up for nearly every major Android brand, not just Xiaomi.

Xiaomi 17
Xiaomi 17

Xiaomi founder Lei Jun has already weighed in on the memory issue. He said the current jump in memory prices is severe, and that supply prices are likely to keep climbing over the next two years. His advice to anyone planning to upgrade their phone soon is simple: buy sooner rather than later.

On the hardware side, the Xiaomi 18 series will be among the first phones to use Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 platform.

Xiaomi counters with a 120Hz AMOLED display supporting Dolby Vision, HDR10+, 68 billion colors, and ultra-high-frequency PWM dimming for better viewing comfort. The Xiaomi screen appears richer and more cinematic, while Motorola delivers a slightly more fluid experience during gaming and scrolling.

Verdict

Motorola wins for durability and smoothness, while Xiaomi offers a more premium multimedia experience. Users focused on entertainment may prefer Xiaomi, whereas Motorola feels better suited for those wanting a tougher everyday companion.

2. Specifications Including Battery

Performance

Both smartphones are powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 8500 series chipset paired with UFS 4.1 storage and 12GB RAM, resulting in flagship-level responsiveness. Daily tasks, multitasking, gaming, and demanding applications run effortlessly on either device. The real-world performance difference between the Dimensity 8500 Extreme and Dimensity 8500 Ultra is likely to be minimal. Motorola’s clean software experience may feel faster and more streamlined, while Xiaomi’s HyperOS 3 offers a wider range of customization features. Those who enjoy a clutter-free interface may naturally lean toward Motorola.

Battery and Charging

Each phone packs a large 6500mAh battery globally, ensuring excellent endurance. Motorola takes a clear lead in charging with 90W wired charging alongside 15W wireless and reverse wireless charging support. Xiaomi offers 67W wired charging and reverse wired charging but lacks wireless charging. Motorola’s charging package feels more complete and convenient for premium buyers.

3. Camera

Main and Secondary Lenses

The Motorola Edge 70 Pro+ features an unusually balanced triple 50MP camera system consisting of wide, periscope telephoto, and ultrawide lenses. This creates consistency across different focal lengths and shooting situations. Xiaomi’s setup includes a strong 50MP primary sensor, a 50MP periscope telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom, and a 12MP ultrawide camera. The Leica tuning, Ultra HDR support, and professional video features, such as Log recording, give Xiaomi an edge for enthusiasts. Xiaomi’s longer optical zoom is especially useful for distant subjects, while Motorola provides more uniform image quality across all cameras.

Selfie Camera

Motorola includes a 50MP autofocus selfie camera capable of producing sharper and more versatile self-portraits. Xiaomi uses a 32MP front camera that performs well but lacks autofocus flexibility.

Verdict

Xiaomi is the stronger choice for photography enthusiasts thanks to Leica processing and superior zoom capabilities. Motorola counters with a more balanced camera array and a noticeably stronger selfie experience.

4. Pricing

The Motorola Edge 70 Pro+ is priced around ₹48,000, while the Xiaomi 17T is priced around ₹60,000. This creates a significant price gap despite both devices sharing a similar performance foundation and battery capacity. Motorola manages to include features such as wireless charging, faster wired charging, a high-refresh-rate display, and a versatile triple 50MP camera setup at a noticeably lower cost. Xiaomi justifies part of its premium through Leica imaging, Dolby Vision support, improved zoom capabilities, and additional software features. However, the difference in everyday performance is unlikely to match the difference in pricing.

When considering overall value, Motorola feels aggressively positioned and delivers more features per rupee spent. Xiaomi targets buyers who specifically value camera tuning, multimedia enhancements, and flagship-style refinement.

Verdict

Motorola offers stronger value for money and covers the needs of most users at a lower price. Xiaomi is better suited for buyers willing to pay extra for its camera-focused and premium-oriented experience.

Disclaimer:
Prices are approximate and may vary based on country, region, launch timing, and applicable taxes. Always check whether the listed price is for a China unit or a global/international variant when purchasing.

5. Conclusion

Motorola stands out with its eco-leather finish, IP69 protection, 144Hz display, 90W charging, wireless charging support, and a unique triple 50MP camera system. Xiaomi differentiates itself through Leica imaging, Dolby Vision support, advanced video recording options, stronger 5x optical zoom, dual eSIM capability, and HyperOS customization features. Both devices provide flagship-grade performance and excellent battery life, making them highly competitive in the upper-premium segment. Motorola emphasizes practicality and value, while Xiaomi focuses more on refinement and imaging sophistication.

Verdict

For most buyers, the Motorola Edge 70 Pro+ emerges as the smarter purchase. It delivers flagship-level performance, premium features, superior charging options, and a versatile camera system at a significantly lower price. 

Xiaomi 17T remains an excellent option for users who prioritize Leica photography, advanced video tools, and enhanced multimedia capabilities. 

Unless those specific strengths are a priority, Motorola provides the more compelling overall package and the stronger value proposition.

Redmi Turbo 5 launches in India, but Chinese buyers are still getting the better deal

By
Rajesh Regmi
-

Redmi has finally brought the Turbo 5 to India, nearly five months after the phone first went official in China back in January. It’s the first time a Turbo series has launched in India, but Chinese buyers are still getting a better deal. 

The Redmi Turbo 5 is priced in India at Rs 35,999 for the 8GB+256GB variant, while the 12GB+256GB model costs Rs 38,999. 

In comparison, the Turbo 5 is currently available in China for 2,299 yuan for the 12GB+256GB unit. And that’s after a price increase in April,

Redmi Turbo 5 launch India specs price

Run the math at today’s exchange rate, the 2,299 yuan converts to about Rs 32,200, nearly Rs 6,800 cheaper than the Rs 38,999 Redmi is charging Indian buyers for the identical 12GB+256GB configuration. 

Even India’s entry-level 8GB variant at Rs 35,999 costs more than China’s higher-RAM base model once converted.

However, the premium isn’t unusual for Chinese-origin phones sold in India, where import duties, GST, and logistics typically push prices upward, but it does mean Indian buyers are paying a real markup for the same silicon and battery their Chinese counterparts get noticeably cheaper.

Redmi, however, is offering up to Rs 2,000 in instant discounts on select SBI, ICICI, and Axis Bank cards, and sales begin June 19 via Amazon.in, mi.com, and offline retail. You can pick from Turbo White, Nitro Blue, and Asphalt Black colourways. 

Redmi Turbo 5 Specifications

As for specs, the phone runs on MediaTek’s Dimensity 8500 Ultra paired with LPDDR5X Ultra RAM and UFS 4.1 storage, backed by a 5,300mm² vapour chamber to keep the chip cool during long sessions.

Redmi claims an AnTuTu score north of 2 million, which it says edges out rivals like the OnePlus Nord CE6 and the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro. The 6.59-inch 1.5K AMOLED panel runs at 120Hz, and the standout feature remains the 7,540mAh battery with 100W HyperCharge, wrapped in an IP66/IP68/IP69/IP69K-rated build. 

The back is home to a 50MP Sony IMX882 OIS main camera and an 8MP ultra-wide sensor, while it also has a customisable LED pixel-matrix ring around the camera module. It ships on HyperOS 3 over Android 16.

OnePlus 16 display could stop at 185Hz, bezels under 1mm

By
Rajesh Regmi
-

Tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS) is back with a fresh exclusive, and while the leaker did not name the phone directly, the details line up almost perfectly with everything we already know about the upcoming OnePlus 16. Connecting the dots is not hard here, since the chip, panel size, and supplier all match earlier reports.

OnePlus 16 leaks with sub-1mm bezel and 185Hz refresh rate 

According to the leak, a new phone built around the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro is currently doing the rounds in testing (mostly as engineering samples), and it is running at an 185Hz refresh rate. 

This alone is a strong hint, since we previously reported that the OnePlus 16 would use this very chip, and a later report revealed the same 185Hz figure as a starting point.

OnePlus 16 leak 1mm bezel

What is new this time is a word of caution from DCS. The tipster suggests that pushing refresh rates any higher, into the 200Hz range and beyond, could start to affect display quality and may simply not be practical. At least for the time being. 

This tempers earlier expectations around a possible 240Hz panel, suggesting 185Hz could end up being the number that actually ships, rather than just a floor.

The panel itself is said to be a 6.78-inch 1.5K display made by BOE, with upgrades to brightness, color gamut, and power efficiency over what came before. 

OnePlus 15

Perhaps the most interesting part of the claim is that the screen bezels will come in at under 1mm on all four sides. It will be the slimmest not only for OnePlus, but in the smartphone industry, if true. Meizu 22 currently has the slimmest bezel on a phone at 1.2mm. 

Here are earlier camera leaks and reports of a massive 9,000mAh battery, if you want to have a look. Nothing is official yet, and OnePlus has not confirmed a launch date, but the China debut is still expected sometime in the final quarter of 2026.

Vivo T5 Lite 5G tipped to pack Dimensity 6300, 6.74-inch 120Hz HD+ LCD display, IP65 ingress protection

By
Debasish
-

Vivo looks like it’s getting ready to launch the T5 Lite 5G, which is shaping up to be a solid daily driver focused on good battery life, smooth scrolling, and reliable performance for everyday use.

According to leaks from XpertPick, the phone will feature a big 6.74-inch HD+ LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate and up to 1,200 nits brightness. That should make scrolling feel smooth and keep the screen visible even in brighter outdoor conditions.

Inside, it’s powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 6300 chipset, a decent 5G processor that should handle normal apps, light gaming, and multitasking without issues. You’ll have a few memory/storage options: 4GB+128GB, 6GB+128GB, and 6GB+256GB. The phone is reasonably slim at 8.39mm thick and weighs around 209g, which isn’t bad for a large-battery device.

One of the biggest highlights is the 6,500mAh battery, an upgrade over the 6,000mAh unit in last year’s T4 Lite, paired with 44W fast charging. That combo should easily give you all-day (or even multi-day) usage for typical tasks. On the back there’s a 50MP main camera, and up front an 8MP selfie camera. It also comes with IP65 dust and water resistance.

Design-wise, it’ll be available in two nice colors: Twilight Shadow and Ocean Blue. It keeps things simple and practical rather than flashy.

Overall, the T5 Lite 5G seems like a smart pick for students, first-time 5G buyers, or anyone who values long battery life and smooth display over premium features. Vivo’s T series has done well by focusing on real value, and this one tries to stand out with its high-refresh screen and massive battery in a segment where Redmi and Realme are also fighting hard.

We should see official pricing and full details soon as Vivo prepares to roll it out in international markets.

ASUS unveils desktop PC with 748 GB RAM, NVIDIA’s GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra superchip

By
Debasish
-

Asus is pushing the boundaries with the new ExpertCenter Pro ET900N G3, a regular-looking tower PC that packs Nvidia’s powerful GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra desktop superchip inside. It’s designed for local AI development, model training, and inference, giving you data-center-level performance without needing an actual server room.

At first glance, it looks like a standard desktop tower (about 23.2 x 58.4 x 56.5 cm), something you could actually fit on a typical desk. But inside, it’s a beast. The system combines a Grace CPU with 72 Arm cores and a Blackwell Ultra GPU, delivering up to 20 petaFLOPS of AI performance.

One of the most impressive parts is the memory: it has a massive 748 GB of unified coherent memory (496 GB LPDDR5X for the CPU + 252 GB HBM3e for the GPU). This setup lets you work with really large AI models, even those approaching trillion-parameter scale, right on your desk.

It also comes with a hefty 1,600W power supply and strong cooling, so it can run at full power for long periods without slowing down. For expansion, you get three PCIe 5.0 slots, support for up to four M.2 2280 NVMe SSDs, and high-speed NVLink-C2C and ConnectX-8 networking. It ships with Ubuntu and Nvidia’s AI tools pre-loaded, with Windows support coming later. On the outside, the ports are practical, with eight USB 3.2 ports, one USB 2.0 port, and dual 10 Gbps Ethernet.

The ExpertCenter Pro ET900N G3 is now available in the US, starting at a hefty $99,999. It’s clearly aimed at researchers, developers, and companies working on generative AI, large language models, simulations, and autonomous systems. It’s basically bringing the spirit of Nvidia’s DGX Station to a more compact form.

This is a clear sign of the trend toward making high-end AI hardware more accessible at the desktop level. Yes, the price is steep, but for teams that need serious local compute power without the hassle of full server setups, this could be a game-changer.

What do you think? Crazy impressive or just too expensive for most people?

Redmi K90 Ultra set for June debut with focus on gaming and long battery life

By
Anvinraj Valiyathara
-

Redmi has officially confirmed that the K90 Ultra will arrive later this month, adding a new option to its K90 series lineup. The company has positioned the device as a performance-focused smartphone aimed at gamers, while keeping pricing within reach of buyers looking for strong value.

Redmi K90 Ultra targets affordable gaming enthusiasts

Redmi K90 Ultra June launch confirmed

The announcement was shared by Xiaomi Group President Lu Weibing, who said the K90 Ultra is designed to carry forward the gaming-first approach introduced with the K90 Max. According to him, rising smartphone prices across the industry have reduced choices in the lower premium segment, and the new model is intended to keep high-end gaming performance accessible in the 3,000 Yuan (~$445) price band.

Leaked details from well-known tipster Digital Chat Station suggest the Redmi K90 Ultra could feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite-series processor paired with an advanced fan-based cooling system. The combination is expected to deliver sustained performance levels that could challenge devices powered by newer flagship chips. Reports also indicate that the phone may include a battery exceeding 8,000mAh, making it one of the largest batteries in its category.

The handset is expected to share several hardware elements with the K90 Max, Redmi’s first smartphone with an integrated cooling fan. That device was introduced earlier this year and focused heavily on maintaining stable performance during long gaming sessions.

Certification listings previously revealed a Redmi handset believed to be the K90 Ultra carrying support for 100W wired fast charging. While the company has not officially confirmed the specification, the combination of an 8,000mAh-plus battery and rapid charging could become a major selling point.

Industry sources suggest the K90 Ultra will sit below the K90 Max in Redmi’s portfolio. The K90 Max features the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset, a dedicated graphics chip and support for high refresh rate gaming. The K90 Ultra appears to take a different route by pairing a Snapdragon processor with aggressive cooling and a more competitive price strategy.

AOC has introduced a new 27-inch gaming monitor in China, the Q27G4SLM6/WS, which brings several higher-end display features to a lower price bracket. The monitor is currently listed on JD.com with a standard retail price of 2,099 yuan (about $310), though an introductory offer brings it down to 1,919 yuan (around $284).

AOC Q27G4SLM6-WS gaming monitor

AOC Q27G4SLM6/WS Specifications

The monitor features a Fast IPS panel equipped with a Mini LED backlight and Quantum Dot technology.
