LG MoodUP Refrigerator announced during Lakme Fashion Week in India
The South Korean tech giant unveiled the MoodUP refrigerator with the help of leading fashion designer duo, Gauri and Nainika, who brought over 170,000 colors. This fridge features cutting edge technology and design. Its most highlighting aspect is undoubtedly the LED panels on its door that allow you to change colors based on your mood and sync music to create a personalized experience. This design seamlessly fuses style and technology.
The MoodUP model was first showcased back in 2022 and is finally making its way to the Indian market. Apart from the eye catching body, the LG MoodUP Refrigerator houses a built-in Bluetooth speaker as well. This basically lets you play music on the fridge from your phone or other connected devices. This paired with the LED color changing panels helps turn your home into a party place. The premium refrigerator can be integrated with the LG ThinQ, allowing for remote control and monitoring.
It is packed with a bunch of smart features as well like Door Open Alert, Welcome Light, and Night-time Mood Light. The stylish home appliance comes with Door Cooling+ technology to ensure even cooling on each shelf as well as Hygiene Fresh+ technology to help reduce the growth of bacteria and keep food fresh for longer. The LG MoodUP Refrigerator is available for purchase in India for a hefty price tag of 449,999 INR (roughly 5,420 US Dollars).
Samsung is rumored to be expanding its foldable smartphone range with a more affordable model. A new report from the Korean publication The Elec now suggests that Samsung is aiming to make this entry-level foldable a compelling alternative to Apple’s upcoming iPhone 16 series.
The report first sheds light on Samsung’s plans for its regular Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 models. According to The Elec, Samsung has sped up the production schedule for components of its next-generation foldable phones.
As a result, the mass production of parts for the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 is expected to start as early as May.
That timeframe is several weeks ahead of last year’s models, thus the standard Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 are said to be released sometime in July. For comparison, the Galaxy Z5 series foldable was released in August last year.
On the other hand, the budget-friendly Galaxy Z Fold 6 might not hit the market until months after the regular Fold 6 and Flip 6.
It’s rumored that Samsung might launch it in September or October, likely to coincide with Apple’s iPhone 16 launch. As aforementioned, this staggered release strategy is aimed at competing with Apple’s iPhone 16 launch.
While there’s not much detail we have about the affordable Z Fold, it’s expected to make some design compromises to lower the cost. For instance, it is rumored that it will not support Samsung’s S Pen stylus.
Moreover, Elec’s report also suggests Samsung isn’t expecting a high shipment target for the cheaper Galaxy Z Fold 6. It is estimated at around 200,000 to 300,000 units, but it could still influence consumer decisions when compared to the iPhone 16.
Samsung is rumored to be working on a new Galaxy F series smartphone. The company is set to unveil the Galaxy F55 model soon, with the latest sighting hinting at an imminent launch in the Indian and Bangladeshi markets. So here are all the details.
Samsung Galaxy F55 Support Page Up in India and Bangladesh
The South Korean tech giant’s upcoming Galaxy F55 was spotted on the official support page in the two regions. It was seen carrying the SM-E556B/DS model number. While no finer details like specs and features were revealed in the support page, the website listing hints that the Galaxy F55 5G’s launch is near. Back in January 2024, this device was spotted on the BIS certification and received WiFi certification as well.
For those unaware, the new device is the successor to the Galaxy F54 model, which launched in the middle of 2023. So, the Galaxy F55 could also see a June 2024 launch timeframe. Last year’s F54 was equipped with the Exynos 1380 SoC, but the F55 will likely offer newer hardware like the Exynos 1480 processor. To recall, the Galaxy F54 sports a tall 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display that offers a Full HD+ resolution, Gorilla Glass 5 protection, and a 120Hz refresh rate.
Under the hood, a massive 6,000mAh battery pack powers this device, which supports 25W wired fast charging. This device offers 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. The rear packs a 108-megapixel triple camera setup, while the front houses a 32-megapixel selfie shooter. The camera system and display likely won’t see any major changes, but some internal specs could see upgrades. Keep in mind that this is still just speculation at the moment, so stay tuned for more updates.

Lenovo continues to expand its product lineup in India. In line with this, the company has recently introduced the Tab M11 and is now offering users the latest Legion laptops. Let’s explore the specifications and prices of these new models, including the Legion Pro 7i, Legion Pro 5i, Legion 7i, and Legion 5i. Here are the details…
Legion Pro 7i and Legion Pro 5i Specs
Lenovo’s latest laptop lineup for India boasts two exciting series. The first caters to gamers who demand the best. This Pro series includes the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i and Legion Pro 5i. These powerhouses top of the line specs, including processor up to the Intel Core i9-14900HX and graphics card as the Nvidia RTX 4090. They can also be configured with up to 32GB of DDR5 memory, ensuring smooth performance. Lenovo even throws in AI features, making these laptops ideal for what they call “pro-level competitive gamers.”
Of course, powerful hardware raises concerns about heat management. Thankfully, Lenovo has addressed this in their Legion Pro 7i and Pro 5i models. Features like an extra-wide vapor chamber, liquid metal infusion, and AI-driven power management ensure optimal performance. The Legion Pro 7i also supports up to 235W total TDP, while the Legion Pro 5i offers up to 200W.
Both Legion Pro 7i and Legion Pro 5i feature the PureSight gaming display with up to a 245 Hz variable refresh rate and 500 nits brightness.

Although the Intel Core Ultra processors bring some new features, but the Ultra 5 125H is still not as good as the 7840HS, so if you want to choose a mini-pc, the 7840HS is still the most suitable choice.
So today I got my hands on a 7840HS mini-pc, the AYANEO Retro AM02, which not only has a powerful processor, but also has a unique retro look, powerful interfaces, and even eGPU support.
Unbox
Of all the mini-pc products I’ve used, the AM02 comes in the nicest package.
Not only that, the AM02 has a very wide range of accessories, HDMI cable, installation tools, and AC Power Adapter for different regions, the most surprising thing to me is that the package includes a 100W GaN Power Adapter, crazy.
Nowadays, the packaging of smartphones and PCs is getting lighter and simpler. However, AYANEO is still willing to provide users with truly useful accessories and good-looking packaging. Good job, AYANEO.
Design
The AM02 seems like a replica of the Nintendo NES console released in 1983, and at a time when most people are tired of the repetitive and uninteresting look of the mini-PC, a replica of the already recognized NES is a smart idea.
The AM02 also replicates the NES’s card slot design, and it’s cool to see that you can open the front panel by pressing the red ‘OPEN’ button. Although the machine’s casing is mostly made of plastic, it has an excellent paint finish and looks very much like metal.
Of course, the most eye-catching part of the AM02 is the info screen on the front, which has a good resolution and even supports touch control, allowing you to check real-time performance state, adjust the TDP, check the time, adjust the volume, and so on.
In actual running, I prefer to live with it for displaying performance data. But in my imagination, the screen is capable of offering more, such as personal customization and shortcut supports. So I really hope that AYANEO will make this small screen more useful in future updates.
In terms of ports, the AM02 has four USB-A ports, one HDMI2.0 and one DP1.4, as well as a 2.5G Ethernet Port. And most importantly, the AM02 has a full-featured USB-4 Type-C port, which not only offers 40Gbps transfer efficiency but also supports eGPU connection. For gamers, the AM02 could be a real replacement for a traditional Gaming PC, if you can ignore the slight performance losses of external graphics cards.
Meanwhile, disassembling the AM02 is relatively easy. Just follow the steps in the manual and use the tools included in the package. It’s not difficult at all even for the unexperienced. If you’ve bought a Barebone configuration, such detailed installation instructions can save you a lot of trouble.
In terms of expansion performance, the AM02 has two SO-DIMM Slots and supports up to 64GB of memory. It’s worth noting that the AM02 only has one PCle 4.0 M.2 Interface, but it seems to support up to 8TB Dual-Sided Partice SSD. So for such a compact space, it is not bad.
Performance
The 7840HS is arguably the best solution for min-pc at the moment, so there’s no need to worry about the AM02’s performance at all, as the 7840HS performed very well in CPU-z tests. Multi-core performance is roughly equivalent to the 5800X, slightly behind the 12600K, but in terms of power consumption, the 7840HS wins the race.
In the more stressful Cinebench R24, the 7840HS performed very well in both single and multi-core. I must say that this 8-core, 16-thread processor is more than enough to handle most tasks. Whether you’re gaming or working, the 7840HS doesn’t disappoint.
During the stress test, the chip can be maintained at 45W almost the entire time, with the frequency running at close to 4Ghz, there is actually no need to worry about the cooling performance, with this quad heatpipe cooler, it can keep the CPU cool in high loads.
Meanwhile, during the stress test, the fan speed was around 3400 RPM, and there was a noticeable noise, but not too loud.
Please watch the video
However, one area to note is that due to the mounting position of the hard disk and the wireless adapter, the hard drive temperature is relatively high when doing heavy reading and writing.
Upon disassembly, I found that the drive does not have a cooling structure, which is most likely a compromise for mounting the small screen.
So, if you are planning to buy a Barebone version, I would recommend installing a cooler Drive without Dram cache.
Game Test
The 7840HS has a built-in AMD Radeon 780M GPU, which has already surpassed the 1050TI and is very close to the 1060 max-Q in Time Spy Tests.
The most important thing is the performance in real games.
First, Let’s see what happened in Genshin Impact. Under 1080p resolution with the highest graphics, the AM02 smoothly run the game at 60fps, which is impressive for the first round.
Then check it out in Counter-Strike 2: with 1080p resolution & mid-graphics, the gaming experience is also great, which easily achieved 100FPS in Death Match.
And, put some pressure on it. In Cyberpunk 2077 with the same 1080p & mid-graphics, the mini PC can handle it, but it couldn’t reach at 60fps. But there’s also a solution for the AM02 mini PC – adding an eGPU.
For a smoother gaming experience, the full-featured USB4.0 port can be put to good use. We selected an AMD Radeon RX 6600M graphics for it.
The gaming experience was boosted to another level. The gaming framerate has increased several times and mostly stayed between 55-70fps.
Overall, the 780M integrated inside is expected to run most games smoothly at a 1080p resolution. If you play competitive games mostly that don’t require high GPU performance or ultra-refined graphics, then the 780M will deliver a delightful gaming experience. Otherwise, a compact eGPU module would be a nice addition.
AYASPEACE
Since we reviewed the AM01, AYANEO has introduced Ayaspeace which used to be on the gaming handheld to the mini-PC, and has implemented some cool features.
Now Ayaspeace can not only manage the small screen for the AM02, but also allow you to quickly access performance adjustment to set up different output and fan strategies.
Conclusion
The AYANEO Retro AM02 is one of the few mini-PC’s on the market that has a great look. I’m sure there are a lot of users who would choose the AM02 because of its great look. And more importantly, the AYANEO AM02 powered by a 7840HS chipset supporting performance tuning is just a surprise in its kind.
The AYANEO Retro AM02 was newly released on INDIEGOGO and has been popular in the campaign. Now you can also check it out on their official website.

OnePlus is set to launch the Nord CE 4 smartphone globally on April 1st. Ahead of its big reveal, the smartphone has now appeared on the Geekbench.
The device ran the benchmark with model number CPH2613 and scored 1,135 in single-core tests and 3,037 in multicore tests. It’s no surprise that the device is powered by a Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip, as OnePlus has already confirmed it.
The SoC boasts a 1+3+4 CPU architecture where the primary core operates at up to 2.63 GHz, while three performance cores run at 2.4 GHz, and four efficiency cores operate at 1.8 GHz. Additionally, the Geekbench listing shows that the phone comes with Android 14 pre-installed.
OnePlus has also confirmed that the Nord CE 4 will be equipped with LPDDR4x RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. A leak earlier this week revealed that the phone will be available in two variants — 8/128GB and 8/256GB. And for those who want more storage, it will reportedly also offer a microSD card slot.
Design-wise, the smartphone has a vertically aligned dual camera setup at the back. It has an IR blaster on the top along with the microphone, while the power button and volume up and down rocker sit on the right frame. Sadly, the device doesn’t seem to have the classic OnePlus alert slider.
According to reports, the Nord CE 4 might be a rebranded version of the Oppo K12, expected to launch soon in China.
Leaked specifications for the K12 include a 6.7-inch FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED display, a Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip, 16 GB of RAM, 512 GB of storage, a 16-megapixel front camera, and a 50-megapixel + 8-megapixel + 2-megapixel triple camera setup.
Now that Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset is out, Redmi has announced its plan to release a new smartphone equipped with this new processor.
The company has been tight-lipped on the specific model yet, but speculation points out that it could be the Redmi Note 13 Turbo. However, details about the smartphone are scarce at the moment.
Redmi introduced the Note 12 Turbo smartphone with the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 chipset in China back in March 2023. So initial rumors suggested that the Note 13 Turbo would naturally follow suit with the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chip.
However, a recent leak suggested that the Redmi Note 13 Turbo will actually launch with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3. With Redmi’s announcement aligning with this leak, it appears that the Note 13 Turbo will indeed have the new Snapdragon 8-series chip.
Redmi Note 12 Turbo.
Also to note, a rebranded version of the Redmi Note 12 Turbo, called the Poco F5, was announced for the global market in May 2023. So reports suggest that the upcoming Redmi Note 13 Turbo will remain exclusive to China as its predecessor and it will be launched globally as the Poco F6.
Apart from the new Redmi phone, Xiaomi has announced that the Civi 4 Pro smartphone will also be equipped with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip. While the launch date for the Civi 4 Pro has been set for March 21, it’s unclear whether or if the new Redmi phone will also debut on the same day.
Nevertheless, we’ll continue to provide updates on the matter as soon as any new information becomes available.

Realme is working on its GT Neo 6 series of smartphones. Following the confirmation that the Neo 6 SE will feature a Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chipset, new details regarding the device’s design and specifications have emerged, courtesy of the reputable tipster Digital Chat Station.
In a recent Weibo post, the tipster shared design schematics of the GT Neo 6 SE. Visually, the phone bears a resemblance to its predecessor, the Neo 5 SE, particularly in the camera module.
It extends to the edge of the device and houses three distinctive camera rings. The power and volume controls are located on the right side of the device.
Apart from the design, the tipster also shed light on the phone’s specifications. In addition to the confirmed Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chipset, the phone is said to include an 8T LTPO AMOLED display and a 5500mAh battery with support for 100W fast charging.
That’s the same battery and charging capacity as the Neo 5 SE. So there’s not much of an upgrade in this area.
However, the tipster suggests that the phone has a long battery life, possibly due to the LTPO display. Additionally, DCS mentioned that the phone feels lightweight and thin.
The Realme GT Neo 6 SE is just one piece of a growing series. The Realme GT Neo 6, powered by a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, was also recently spotted on the AnTuTu benchmarking platform. So we can expect at least two new devices in the lineup.
As details of the Realme GT Neo 6 series are starting to surface, more information is expected to become available in the coming days. Realme should also announce the launch date of the devices pretty soon.
