Feb 3, 2026

A new leak suggests that Redmi is preparing a performance-focused flagship that could significantly raise the bar for gaming-centric smartphones. Early details point to the Redmi K90 Ultra, with emphasis on sustained performance, battery life, and display upgrades, hinting at a notable shift in Redmi’s flagship strategy this year.

Redmi K90 Ultra key details tipped

According to information shared by tipster Digital Chat Station, the Redmi K90 Ultra is expected to be powered by the Dimensity 9500 chipset. Previous iterations of K-series Ultra phones have featured “Plus” versions of Dimensity 9-series chipsets, such as the Dimensity 9400+, Dimensity 9300+, and Dimensity 9200+. Recent reports reveal that this time MediaTek has no plans to launch the Dimensity 9500+, which was expected to be an overclocked version of the existing Dimensity 9500.

What makes the Redmi K90 Ultra stand out is the reported inclusion of an internal cooling fan. This would make it the first Xiaomi group smartphone to feature active cooling, aimed at maintaining stable performance during extended gaming sessions. The cooling system is expected to allow the chipset to run closer to its peak capabilities without thermal throttling.

The Redmi K90 Ultra is tipped to pack an 8,500mAh battery, with internal testing reportedly ongoing to push the capacity even higher. Fast charging support is said to reach 100W via wired charging, with possible compatibility with high-power PPS standards.

The display is expected to be a large flat panel measuring around 6.8 inches, offering 1.5K resolution and a refresh rate that could go as high as 165Hz. With more games now supporting higher refresh rates, this setup should deliver a smoother experience. Other anticipated features include a metal frame, an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor, and full water resistance.

The Redmi K90 Ultra may launch in May or June this year. The brand is also expected to unveil the Redmi K Pad 2, a performance-focused tablet, alongside it.

Feb 3, 2026

After the upcoming Chinese Spring Festival, Vivo and Oppo are expected to announce new flagship phones. In the latest leak, tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed the model numbers of the upcoming Vivo flagships, which have reportedly received China’s SRRC (State Radio Regulation Commission) network access certification, confirming radio transmission approvals and support for the N79 frequency band.

Vivo X300 series’ model numbers emerge

According to DCS, the model numbers Vivo V2547A, V2547DA, and V2548A belong to the upcoming X300 series. It appears that the V2547A is associated with the Vivo X300 Ultra, while the V2547DA is its Beidou satellite communication version. The leak suggests that the V2548A belongs to the Vivo X300 Max. This is the first time this moniker has surfaced, and it appears to be the same device that was being referred to as the Vivo X300s in recent reports.

Vivo X300 Max: What to expect?

A recent leak by the same source revealed that the Vivo X300 Max will have a 6.78-inch OLED 1.5K flat display surrounded by ultra-thin bezels. For security, it will feature an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor.

On the back, it will have a circular camera module housing a 200-megapixel main camera, an ultra-wide lens, and a mid-tier periscope telephoto camera. Under the hood, it may feature the existing Dimensity 9500, as the rumoured Plus variant of the chip has reportedly been cancelled. This device is also rumoured to pack a huge 7,000mAh battery.

Apart from leaking details about the upcoming X300 series, the tipster also claimed that the PME110 model number belongs to the Find X9s Pro (previously known as Find X9s). The Find X9 Ultra’s model number is not known yet.

All the above devices are expected to break cover in March in China. Except for the X300 Max, all of them are also rumoured to hit the global market around the second quarter of the year.

Memory chip price surge could trigger smartphone market crisis in 2026

By

Feb 3, 2026

The smartphone market is facing mounting instability in early 2026, driven by a sharp and sustained surge in memory chip prices. According to popular tipster Digital Chat Station, the impact is already rippling across product segments, with mid-range phones on the verge of being pulled from shelves and next-gen flagships entering development limbo.

The strain isn’t limited to increased bill of materials (BOM) costs. It is disrupting brand roadmaps and forcing internal teams to rethink launch schedules. Even Apple has reportedly felt the pressure, as suppliers like Samsung and SK Hynix have raised LPDDR memory prices by up to 100%. Some value-segment devices released in late 2025 may be phased out earlier than planned, while their successors have been pushed to mid-2026 or later. When they do eventually launch, many are expected to carry higher price tags.

Digital Chat Station also says that some internal product teams now view new smartphone launches as high-risk financial liabilities. In response, several brands have already paused development of their next-generation flagship phones. There is growing concern that brands may exit certain regional markets entirely to stem losses.

In a related post from late January, the same source pointed to the mid-range segment, especially the 2,000 to 2,500 yuan tier ($275-$345), as the most vulnerable. The pressure is evident: early Snapdragon 8 Elite phones have quietly dropped launch discounts, the price difference between 512GB and 256GB models has widened to over 400 yuan ($58), and 1TB variants are practically disappearing. Some phones are slashing production volumes just weeks after launch, while others aren’t making it out of prototype stages.

As pricing volatility collides with thinning margins, it’s clear that 2026 might be less about product innovation and more about survival. What used to be a battle of specs could quickly turn into a test of who can stay afloat, and which phone brands are still standing when the dust settles.

Feb 2, 2026

Lenovo has officially revealed the Legion Y700 (2026) by rolling out its first teaser. The image gives a first look at the company’s upcoming performance-focused compact tablet. At the same time, tipster Digital Chat Station has leaked the key specifications and launch timeframe of the device.

Lenovo Legion Y700 (2026) design revealed

The Lenovo Legion Y700 (2026) teaser images show that it will be available in white and black colour variants. The overall design is similar to the previous generation, but a new addition is the RGB ring light below the rear camera unit. The company is yet to share any technical details of the device.

Lenovo Legion Y700 (2026) specifications, launch timeframe (rumored)

According to tipster Digital Chat Station, the Legion Y700 (2026) will be the first compact tablet to come equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset this year. Like the Legion Y700 (2025), the new device will feature an 8.8-inch LCD panel delivering a 3K resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate.

The Legion Y700 (2026) will have a 50-megapixel camera on the back. It is said to pack a massive 9,000mAh+ battery, but there is no information about its fast charging capabilities. A previous leak revealed that the screen will offer a 16:10 aspect ratio and the device will pack a vapour chamber cooling unit with a large heat dissipation area.

DCS further revealed that the Legion Y700 (Gen 5) will be announced in March in China. The previous generation was China-exclusive, so there is no clarity on whether the fifth-generation variant will debut globally.

Oppo Find X10 series tipped to adopt dual 200-megapixel cameras

Feb 2, 2026

The Oppo Find X10 series has begun making early appearances in the rumour mill, months ahead of its expected launch. While Oppo is preparing to introduce new Find X9 models in the near term, fresh leaks suggest that the next-generation Find X10 lineup could bring notable upgrades, particularly in the camera department.

Oppo Find X10 series camera details leak

According to information shared by Digital Chat Station on Weibo, Oppo is currently evaluating a dual 200-megapixel camera setup for the Find X10 series. The configuration reportedly includes a 200-megapixel primary camera paired with a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera, both using large 1/1.3-inch sensors. If finalized, this would mark the largest telephoto sensor Oppo has ever tested for its Find lineup.

The leak suggests that this camera setup is being tested across the entire Find X10 range, including the standard and Pro variants. There are also indications that Oppo may introduce a Pro Max model for the first time, expanding the lineup beyond the usual two variants. An Ultra model is said to follow next year, continuing Oppo’s staggered release strategy.

Interestingly, similar camera hardware is expected to debut earlier on the Find X9s Pro, which is tipped to launch in China in the first half of the year. That device is also rumored to feature dual 200-megapixel Samsung HP5 cameras, indicating Oppo’s broader push towards high-resolution imaging across its flagship portfolio.

On the performance front, the Find X10 series is expected to be among the first smartphones powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9600 chipset. Built on a 2nm process, the new platform is said to offer higher performance at lower power consumption compared to previous generations. Early testing reportedly shows notable gains in efficiency and sustained performance.

At this stage, details about display technology, battery capacity, and charging remain limited. However, Oppo is expected to position the Find X10 series as a major leap over the Find X9 lineup, especially in camera hardware. With the launch still some time away, more concrete information should emerge in the coming months.

Moto G17 may not receive a single Android update

By

Debasish

-

Feb 2, 2026

The Moto G17, which recently launched in parts of Europe, is already drawing criticism, and not because of its hardware. The issue is software support, or more specifically, how little of it Motorola is expected to offer.

The Moto G17 was announced last week as a refresh to the Moto G15. Changes are limited. The most noticeable upgrade is a 32MP front-facing camera, while most other specs remain familiar. The phone runs on the MediaTek Helio G81 Extreme and ships with Android 15, an OS version that first rolled out in mid-2024 and now feels a generation behind in early 2026.

On the UK product page, the company explicitly promises two years of security updates, taking coverage to around early 2028. There is no mention of any Android version upgrades.

The company points to EU Ecodesign regulations, which require manufacturers to provide security, corrective, and functionality updates for several years after a product stops being sold. Crucially, the rules only apply to major Android upgrades if a manufacturer chooses to offer them. That wording allows companies to meet legal requirements while skipping OS version updates entirely.

While this approach appears to comply with the letter of the law, it has not gone over well with critics. Budget rivals are doing far more. The Samsung Galaxy A17, for example, is promised up to six Android version updates, and Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 15 line offers four years of OS upgrades.

At roughly £150, the Moto G17 still offers decent basics—a large display, IP64 protection, and a 50MP main camera. But buyers are being asked to accept limited long-term support in return.

As the phone rolls out across EMEA markets, it highlights a growing split in the budget segment: some brands now treat long software support as standard, while others continue to treat it as optional.

Lenovo teases AI Tablet Xiaoxin Pro 13 with stylus support, launching in March

By

-

Feb 2, 2026

Lenovo has officially announced its upcoming AI-powered tablet, the Xiaoxin Pro 13. The company confirmed that the tablet will launch in March and released a teaser poster revealing key design details. Lenovo is positioning the device as a smart learning and productivity tool with stylus support.

We don’t have any details on the specs, but as per the teaser, the Lenovo AI Tablet Xiaoxin Pro 13 features a quad-narrow-bezel design. It uses a flat-edged frame with slightly rounded corners. The rear panel appears to be matte and likely metal, with a clean and minimal finish.

Lenovo has placed a single 13MP camera and LED flash in a horizontal pill-shaped module near the top corner. The camera bump is subtle and low-profile, which helps the device sit flat on surfaces.

Lenovo also showcased a stylus alongside the tablet. The pen has a cylindrical shape. Lenovo describes the Xiaoxin Pro 13 with the tagline “AI smart learning, limitless with the pen,” indicating a focus on digital writing, note-taking, and AI-assisted educational features. The company is expected to share more information closer to the official launch in March.

Alongside this tablet, Lenovo has also announced that a refreshed version of the popular Legion Y700 tablet is set to launch in March. Lenovo has revealed the design and confirmed that the device will come in black and white color variants. The company describes the Legion Y700 as “AI-powered gear” and promotes it as the “king of small tablets.”

In related news, Lenovo has also launched the Legion 5i Gen 11, a new OLED gaming laptop powered by the Intel Core Ultra 9 385H processor.

Xiaomi Pad 8 global variant appears on Geekbench revealing chipset details and CPU scores

By

Debasish

-

Feb 2, 2026

The Xiaomi Pad 8 seems to be getting ready for a wider release, and a new Geekbench listing suggests the global launch may not be far off. The tablet’s international variant has now shown up on the benchmark database.

This isn’t the first sign of movement either. The Pad 8 Pro appeared on Geekbench earlier, and together the two listings make it look like Xiaomi is preparing to bring the full Pad 8 lineup to more markets. So far, the series has only been available in China, where it launched back in September 2025 alongside the Xiaomi 17 series.

The new listing belongs to a device with the model number 25097RP43G, which is believed to be the global version of the standard Pad 8. According to the Geekbench entry, the CPU core configuration is as follows:

2 × 2.02GHz
2 × 2.8GHz
3 × 3.01GHz
1 × 3.21GHz

This layout matches the Chinese variant exactly, effectively confirming the presence of the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset. The test unit is listed with 8GB of RAM.

Performance numbers are solid. The tablet scores just over 2,000 points in single-core tests and around 6,100 points in multi-core. That places it comfortably ahead of the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3-powered Xiaomi Pad 7, which recorded 1,877 and 5,106 points in single- and multi-core tests respectively.

In day-to-day use, this should translate to smoother multitasking and better performance in heavier apps, which is where tablets tend to show their limits.

The software version is listed as Android 16, which likely means it will ship with Xiaomi’s newer HyperOS build out of the box.

If the Chinese model is anything to go by, the Pad 8 should feature an 11.2-inch LCD panel with a 144Hz refresh rate, a large 9,200mAh battery, and 45W wired charging.

Tipster Abhishek Yadav has suggested that Xiaomi could launch the Pad 8 series globally in early March 2026, possibly around the time of MWC. That would line up with the recent increase in leaks and certifications.

For now, the Geekbench appearance doesn’t tell us everything, but it does confirm one thing: the Xiaomi Pad 8 is no longer China-only, and its global release is likely getting close.

Casio includes a full set of digital functions such as a 1/100-second stopwatch with 24-hour capacity, split time, auto-start, and a 5-second countdown. The countdown timer supports up to 24 hours with auto-repeat and pre-alarm functions.

The watch packs three daily alarms with a snooze option, an hourly chime, and Flash Alert LED notifications for alarms and timers, alongside a full auto calendar, 12/24-hour formats, tone control. Casio claims a battery life of up to 10 years and a monthly accuracy rate of ±30 seconds.

The Best Ultra Slim Power Banks in 2026

By

Soumyakanti

-

Feb 2, 2026

Ultra-slim magnetic power banks have become essential for users who need reliable charging without adding bulk. The latest models in 2026 focus on Qi2 certification, fast USB-C speeds, and form factors that complement modern smartphones. Here’s a closer look at some of the best options available right now.

Prev Next

1. Anker Nano Power Bank

Anker has unveiled the Nano Power Bank as the slimmest and most advanced model in the lineup so far. It measures just 0.34 inches thick, weighs 122g, and targets MagSafe-compatible iPhones from the iPhone 12 to iPhone 17 series. The power bank supports 15W Qi2-certified magnetic wireless charging and includes a two-way 20W USB-C port, all packed into a compact, pocket-friendly design.

It can charge an iPhone 17 Pro to 25% in around 34 minutes while staying comfortably cool, thanks to a graphene cooling system combined with dual NTC sensors that keep temperatures below 104°F. The skin-friendly back panel, anodized metal frame, and four color options give it a premium feel that matches its performance. It suits iPhone users who want reliable, stylish charging while on the move.

2. Baseus PicoGo AM31 Mini

If hands-free use is a priority, the Baseus PicoGo AM31 Mini power bank checks every box. It’s smaller than a credit card at 3.4 x 2.3 x 0.45 inches and includes a built-in aluminum kickstand that works in both portrait and landscape orientations.

The AM31 supports 15W wireless charging and 20W wired charging over USB-C, using Tesla-grade battery cells paired with a triple-layer heat management system for consistent performance. Its liquid silicone finish, combined with an anodized aluminum body, gives it a premium look while improving durability.

The power bank features an 11N magnetic hold and full Qi2 certification, allowing it to securely snap onto iPhones as well as Android phones that support Qi2 magnetic charging.

3. Xiaomi Ultrathin Magnetic Power Bank

The Xiaomi Ultrathin Magnetic Power Bank is an engineering feat, squeezing 5,000mAh into a mere 6mm chassis that weighs just 98g. Designed for extreme portability, it’s a natural fit for slim phones like the iPhone 17 Pro and Xiaomi 15 Ultra, matching their metallic aesthetics.

While it supports 15W wireless charging and an impressive 22.5W USB-C output, there’s a catch: it only delivers 7.5W of wireless power on iPhones due to the lack of Qi2 certification. That makes it best suited for Android users or those who value form factor above peak iPhone performance.

4. Baseus PicoGo Ultra-Slim

Baseus offers two ultra-thin PicoGo models, giving users a choice between lighter 5,000mAh (4.6oz) and longer-lasting 10,000mAh (7.8oz) variants. Both support Qi2-certified 15W wireless and 20W+ wired charging, with a slick 0.3-0.5 inch slim body, card-size design, and liquid silicone + aluminum alloy housing.

The 10K version even bumps wired output to 27W, charging iPhones, iPads, and even some USB-C tablets efficiently. Available in four colors (Black, Grey, Pink, Titanium), these power banks stand out for their durability, thermal control, and long-lasting style.

5. Sharge AeroMag

The AeroMag series fuses luxury-grade materials with practical design. Both 5K (125g) and 10K (192g) models feature aerospace-grade anodized aluminum with graphene cooling, keeping the bank and your phone cool even during long calls or streaming sessions.

Certified with Qi2, the AeroMag hits 15W magnetic wireless and 20W wired output. Even better, it can charge two devices simultaneously, wireless for your phone and wired for your earbuds. With a premium finish and N52 magnet array for a shake-proof grip, this is the go-to for those who want power with polish.

OnePlus 16 might be getting a major telephoto camera upgrade

By

Sean

-

Feb 2, 2026

Despite the OnePlus 15 launching just a couple of months ago, there have been plenty of early leaks for its successor. Now, a fresh tip has suggested that the OnePlus 16 is getting a significant camera upgrade, especially for its zoom lens. So here are all the details.

OnePlus 16 leaks with 200MP telephoto camera

The latest leak arrives from a post from OnePlus Club on X (formerly Twitter). In the tweet, the OnePlus 16 is reportedly getting a higher resolution and a larger sensor for zoomed photography. This new camera will be a 200MP shooter that has a 1/1.56-inch size, which is comparable to the OnePlus 15’s primary camera. To recall, the OnePlus 15 launched with a 50MP periscope telephoto shooter with a 3x optical zoom and a 1/2.75-inch sensor.

In other words, we might be getting a meaningful boost for zoom photography, along with improved low light detail capture and overall imaging capabilities. This will also make the OnePlus 16 more in line with other Chinese flagships like the Oppo Find X9 Pro and Vivo X300 Pro that pack large telephoto shooters. While the focal length of the new sensor is unknown, the new 200MP resolution could signify a higher digital crop on OnePlus’ next flagship.

This leak is also in line with some of our earlier reports. The OnePlus 15 is expected to launch with a 240Hz display, Snapdragon 8 Gen 6 Pro, and 200MP triple cameras. However, the previous leak hinted at a 200MP primary camera with a 50MP ultra wide angle lens, and a 50MP telephoto shooter.

Nothing Headphone (a) leak reveals color options and launch time

Nothing confirmed earlier this week, they will not launch any flagship smartphone in 2026. Instead, the focus will be on the comparatively affordable Phone (4a) series. A new leak now suggests that Nothing could also announce a cheaper pair of over-ear headphones.

According to a report from Dealabs, the company is working on a new model called the Nothing Headphone (a). As the name suggests, this is expected to be a more affordable alternative to the company’s existing premium headphones, the Nothing Headphone 1.

The leak claims the headphones will be available in four color options: Black, Pink, White, and Yellow.

Nothing Headphones (a) could launch in March

The report also outlines a possible launch timeline. The Nothing Headphone (a) is tipped to be officially announced on March 12, with pre-orders opening a week earlier on March 5. The headphones are expected to launch in Europe first, alongside other global markets, though there’s no word yet on an India launch timeline.

Pricing is where this leak gets particularly interesting. The Nothing Headphone (a) is reportedly priced at EUR 159 in Europe and GBP 149 in the UK. The Nothing Headphone 1, in comparison, launched at EUR 299 globally and arrived in India in July 2025 with a price tag of Rs. 21,990.

According to previous rumors, the Headphone (a) might simply be a rebranded Headphone 1 with a plastic build. However, the reported pricing makes that seem unlikely. At this point, there’s no concrete information about specifications or features, but it’s safe to expect some compromises compared to the Headphone 1 to hit the lower price point.

For reference, the Nothing Headphone 1 features an over-ear design with a transparent body, 40mm dynamic drivers, and active noise cancellation rated up to 42dB, along with a transparency mode. It supports Bluetooth 5.3, multiple codecs including LDAC, dual-device connectivity, and up to 80 hours of battery life without ANC.

Feb 2, 2026

Samsung has been working on One UI 8.5 for the past few months. It’s still based on Android 16 but uses a newer QPR2 development build, allowing Samsung to include deeper system-level features that weren’t available in the original Android 16 release for One UI 8.0.

One UI 8.5 has been available to select Galaxy devices as a beta release for quite some time now, and it’s inching closer to its stable release. And if you think it would be a minor upgrade, you’re getting it all wrong. There are a host of exciting upgrades and many new features, making the new software more customizable, visually appealing, and more secure.

In this post, we’ll tell you whether your Samsung Galaxy is eligible for the One UI 8.5 update and when you can expect it to roll out.

Is your Samsung device eligible for the One UI 8.5 update?

While the official list is yet to arrive, it’s safe to assume that all Samsung devices that have received the One UI 8.0 update or launched with One UI 8.0 should be upgraded to One UI 8.5, since both software are based on Android 16.

Galaxy S series: Galaxy S25, S25+, S25 Ultra, S25 FE, S25 Edge, S24, S24+, S24 Ultra, S24 FE, S23, S23+, S23 Ultra, S23 FE, S22, S22+, S22 Ultra, S21 FE
Galaxy Z series: Galaxy Z TriFold, Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7, Z Fold SE, Z Fold 6, Z Flip 6, Z Fold 5, Z Flip 5, Z Fold 4, Z Flip 4
Galaxy Tab series: Galaxy Tab S11, Tab S11 Ultra, Tab S10+, Tab S10 Ultra, Tab S10 Lite, Tab S10 FE, Tab S10 FE+, Tab S9, Tab S9+, Tab S9 Ultra, Tab S9 FE, S9 FE+, Tab S8, Tab S8+, Tab S8 Ultra, Tab S6 Lite (2024), Tab A11, Tab A11+, Tab A9, Tab A9+, Tab Active 5, Tab Active 5 Pro

Galaxy XCover series: Galaxy XCover 7, XCover 7 Pro

If your Samsung Galaxy is on the list, it should receive the One UI 8.5 update. But we’d still recommend checking the official announcement for the final confirmation. We’ll post the official list on this website as soon as it’s announced. So, stay tuned.

When will Samsung roll out the One UI 8.5 update?

Samsung will release One UI 8.5 with the Galaxy S26 series, which is set to launch in late February. The latest Galaxy flagships will go on sale starting early March. A few weeks after that, Samsung will begin rolling out older Galaxy devices.

While the exact date of the One UI 8.5 rollout is yet to be announced, reports suggest it could begin towards the end of April.

Meanwhile, Galaxy S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra users are already getting an early taste of One UI 8.5 via the beta program. The first beta build was released in early December, and then a few more beta builds were released at regular intervals.

Unfortunately, Samsung hasn’t expanded the beta program beyond the S25 series, and it doesn’t appear to be changing soon. That means other Galaxy devices may receive the stable build directly. Premium devices such as the Galaxy S25, Galaxy Z Fold 7, and Galaxy Z Flip 7 are likely to be among the first phones to receive the stable update. Then, it will expand to other high-end devices, followed by mid-range and cheaper models.

We’ll continue to update you with the latest developments around One UI 8.5 in the Samsung section on this website. Remember to visit that regularly. Also, join our Telegram channel to get instant notifications about the breaking news and software rollouts.

iPhone photography kit brings up to 12x optical zoom, fill lights, SD card slot and more

PGYTECH is taking a slightly unusual approach to mobile photography with its new RetroVa Vintage Imaging Kit, a Kickstarter project that turns recent iPhones into something that feels closer to a compact mirrorless camera than a phone with accessories bolted on.

The idea isn’t entirely new. Chinese brands like Xiaomi, Vivo and Oppo have already experimented with external camera modules and add-on optics, but RetroVa is one of the first attempts to bring that concept properly to iPhones.

The kit is designed for the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max, as well as the iPhone 17 Pro lineup, with hints that future models could also be supported. It’s clearly aimed at users who are happy with their phone but frustrated by the limits of smartphone zoom.

There are two main versions of the kit. The entry-level option is a grip and case combo that adds a proper camera-style handle to the iPhone. It includes a two-stage shutter button, a zoom rocker, a control dial, and extra buttons that can be mapped to settings like ISO or exposure. The goal here isn’t just convenience, it’s to make shooting feel more deliberate and controlled, closer to using a dedicated camera.

The more expensive bundle adds a screw-on 2.35x telephoto extender. When paired with the iPhone 17 Pro’s 4x telephoto camera, this pushes the effective focal length to around 235mm equivalent, or 10x optical zoom. On the iPhone 16 Pro’s 5x lens, it goes up to 12x. The promise is cleaner results than digital zoom can offer, especially for wildlife, sports, or events.

One of the more interesting touches is the built-in microSD card slot for creators, which reportedly allows direct recording of ProRes video. There’s also a companion app with manual controls and a retro-inspired interface, though the grip itself has only a small battery meant to power its controls.

The Kickstarter campaign launched in late January 2026 and has already passed its funding goal comfortably. Shipping is planned for March and April, depending on the kit.

It’s still a crowdfunded product, so there’s the usual risk involved. But for iPhone users who want better zoom and more hands-on control — without buying a new phone or a separate camera — RetroVa is an interesting experiment.

It offers a bold red dial, stainless steel bezel, and a classic yet rugged G-Shock body. Based on the CasiOak series, the GM-2100YRA-8JF is a slimmer entry in the iconic 100 lineup that also gets the red dial mixed with metallic accents. These two models are listed for purchase in Japan for 40,150 Yen (roughly 260 US Dollars)

On the other hand, the GM-5600YRA-8JF is another classic Casio square digital G-Shock design with a similar design element, while the GM-6900YRA-8JF has one of the larger form factors with the same vibrant red display in a rounder body.

This Mini PC Is Smaller Than Your Phone, Meet the Pocket-Sized Minix Neo Z95

Feb 2, 2026

If you’ve ever wished for a full-fledged computer smaller than your smartphone, the new Minix Neo Z95 mini PC might be exactly that. Minix has launched this ultra-compact system designed for everyday desktop tasks. We’ve already seen tiny computers before, but the new Minix Neo Z95 can literally fit in your pocket.

Pocket Friendly Minix Neo Z95 Mini PC Specs

Measuring roughly 88 x 88 x 43mm, the Neo Z95 is small enough to hold in one hand yet packs a surprisingly capable configuration inside. Under the hood, it is equipped with Intel’s N95 processor, a quad-core Alder Lake-N chip that reaches up to around 3.4GHz. This CPU isn’t the most capable, but it has enough horsepower for smooth productivity, web browsing, office work, and video streaming. It isn’t aimed at heavy gaming or demanding creative workloads. Instead, it provides reliable performance for daily use cases.

Paired with the CPU is 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and a 512GB PCIe 3.0 SSD, offering generous memory and storage for a mini PC of this size. The SSD can be upgraded for even larger storage down the line, though the RAM is soldered on board. Despite its tiny form factor, the Neo Z95 doesn’t skimp on ports, offering three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, two HDMI outputs and one DisplayPort, allowing the system to support triple-display setups. You also get two Gigabit LAN ports and a 3.5mm audio jack.

This mini PC runs Windows out of the box, making it ready for familiar desktop apps, streaming services, and office tools. Its active cooling keeps temperatures in check during prolonged usage, while the pocket-friendly size and VESA-mount compatibility make it easy to tuck behind a monitor or TV. Pricing hasn’t been officially confirmed by Minix yet, but most Intel N95 powered mini PCs are in the budget segment.
