Casio has released three new GA-2100 models in the UK based on nightclub aesthetics. The GA-2100K series takes design cues from smoke effects and laser lighting found in electronic music venues.
The collection includes the GA-2100K-1A, GA-2100K-2A, and GA-2100K-5A. Each watch uses the GA-2100’s hybrid design with analog hands and a compact digital display. All three have piano black dials with dark digital screens and neon-colored accents on the hands, outer ring, and G-Shock logo.
The GA-2100K-1A has a gray semi-transparent resin case and strap with turquoise accents. The GA-2100K-2A uses blue resin with orange highlights. The GA-2100K-5A features brown translucent resin with red details. All three use matte semi-transparent resin that contrasts with the glossy dial surface.
The watches include world time support and analog hands with plus or minus 15 seconds per month accuracy. The digital display shows the date, and the day indicator sits at the 9 o’clock sub-dial. You also get a stopwatch, countdown timer, five daily alarms, and an hourly time signal.
Casio built these with Carbon Core Guard structure for impact protection. They’re water resistant to 200 meters, so you can swim and do other water activities with them on.
Pricing & availability
All three models cost £109 on Casio’s UK online store. The watches are also available at Casio’s physical store in London. The company will release them across Europe soon. Regional Casio websites like France, Germany and the Netherlands already have these watches listed as coming soon, with a price tag of €129.
Dell has announced the SE2726D, a new 27-inch gaming monitor that supports 2K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. The monitor is now available in China on platforms such as JD.com at a price of 899 yuan ($128).
Dell SE2726D Specifications
The Dell SE2726D uses a 27-inch IPS panel with a 2560 x 1440 resolution, positioning it as a single-monitor solution for work and casual entertainment, with wide viewing angles and consistent image quality.
The monitor supports a 144Hz refresh rate along with 4ms gray-to-gray response time. This helps in casual gaming, multitasking, and overall UI fluidity. It also supports AMD FreeSync technology, which helps reduce screen tearing and stuttering when paired with a compatible graphics card.
The panel delivers a typical brightness of 300 nits and a contrast ratio of 1500:1. It covers 99% of the sRGB color gamut and supports 16.7 million colors, making the monitor suitable for content consumption and basic creative work.
Dell has equipped the SE2726D with hardware-level low blue light protection through its ComfortView Plus solution. The monitor has also received TÜV Rheinland Eye Comfort certification.
The design includes a three-sided narrow bezel, which improves immersion and supports clean multi-monitor setups. The stand supports tilt adjustments from –5° to 21°, allowing users to set a comfortable viewing angle.
For connectivity, the monitor includes two HDMI 2.1 TMDS ports and one DisplayPort 1.4 port. The monitor comes with a three-year warranty.
The Poco X8 Pro has been showing up across multiple certification databases ahead of its official launch. We’ve seen it on Europe’s EEC listing, India’s BIS, SGS, and more recently in Indonesia’s SDPPI.
The phone has now received NBTC approval in Thailand, but the twist is, it’s the special Iron Man Edition. If you remember, Poco X7 Pro special edition is also themed after Iron Man, so the company is continuing the partnership this generation too.
Poco X8 Pro Iron Man Edition
According to the NBTC listing, the new variant carries the model number 2511FPC34G and name, the Poco X8 Pro Iron Man Edition. While certification documents rarely reveal design or hardware changes, the branding alone confirms Poco is planning a themed version alongside the standard model.
The timing also lines up with Poco’s usual release cycle. Poco launched the X7 Pro in January 2025, and the X8 Pro was first certified back in July last year. January is currently rolling around, so we can expect its launch soon.
As per rumors, the Poco X8 Pro will be a rebranded version of the Redmi Turbo 5, which is expected to debut in China later this month. There’s also talk of a Poco X8 Pro Max, possibly based on a Redmi Turbo 5 Max, which could launch alongside it in some regions.
If the claims are true, both models may feature 1.5K-resolution touchscreens. As for performance, the Poco X8 Pro is expected to run on MediaTek’s Dimensity 8500 chipset, while the Pro Max could step up to the more powerful Dimensity 9500.
On the software side, the phone is tipped to launch with Android 16 and HyperOS 3.
An early retailer listing has given us an early look at both storage options and colors of the Galaxy S26 series. The information isn’t official, but it appears to come from a real product database rather than speculation, which makes it worth paying attention to.
The leak comes from a Finnish online retailer that briefly published listings for the Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra.
One thing that stands out right away is storage. According to the listings, all Galaxy S26 models in Europe will start at 256GB. That’s a change from the Galaxy S25 series, where the base model launched with 128GB as the base option in the region. For many users, this will probably matter more than most spec upgrades, especially as photos, videos, and apps continue to take up more space throughout the device’s lifespan.
The standard S26 and the S26+ are listed with 256GB and 512GB options, while the S26 Ultra goes further, offering configurations up to 1TB.
The color choices are fairly conservative, but not boring. All three models appear in Black, White, Sky Blue, and Cobalt Violet. Black is also shown in a separate Enterprise Edition version for certain SKUs. Cobalt Violet, in particular, looks like it’s being positioned as the standout color, especially for the Ultra.
There could be small differences in availability depending on storage size, but overall, the lineup stays consistent. Earlier leaks hinted that Samsung might offer more color options for the Ultra, so it’s still possible that additional finishes will show up later as regional or Samsung.com exclusives.
Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy S26 lineup sometime next month. Until then, retailer leaks like this are often the best clues we get. If this one turns out to be accurate, the move to 256GB as base storage could be one of the most quietly appreciated upgrades in the series.
iQOO is set to launch the iQOO 15 Ultra in early February, and the company has started sharing details about what sets it apart from other flagship phones.
According to iQOO’s product manager, the iQOO 15 Ultra will be the first smartphone to feature what the company calls “Super-Sensitive Touch Shoulder Buttons.”
As the name suggests, these are touch-based shoulder controls placed on the left and right sides near the main button area. So when the phone is held horizontally, fingers naturally rest on these zones.
iQOO says that popular FPS games will support built-in adaptive presets for the shoulder buttons. The controls also offer advanced mapping options, including combo actions and shortcut functions, allowing users to go beyond basic tap inputs.
iQOO 15 Ultra shoulder buttons has leading sampling rate
On the hardware side, the shoulder buttons operate with a 600Hz touch sampling rate, which iQOO describes as industry-leading. The system uses dual independent control chips, enabling each shoulder button to send inputs separately. This design is intended to minimize input delay and improve accuracy.
The company has also added a new anti-sweat algorithm to address issues that commonly appear during longer gaming sessions.
Unlike traditional press-type shoulder buttons, the iQOO 15 Ultra’s implementation avoids mechanical components altogether. Paired with a linear motor, the phone simulates tactile feedback that remains consistent over extended use.
Since there are no physical moving parts, iQOO says the buttons do not suffer from mechanical wear. Great, and it also means a virtually unlimited lifespan. The flush design also helps improve resistance to sweat and water while reducing the chances of dust and dirt buildup. Another advantage is the lack of reset delays, which helps keep latency low and allows for smoother continuous inputs.
The DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Pro may finally be close to launch, and a newly surfaced image is giving us the clearest look yet at what sets it apart. The photo, which shows the device from the front, appears to confirm a dual-camera setup, something DJI hasn’t offered before in its Pocket lineup.
The image was reportedly taken at an indoor ski resort in Shenzhen, where DJI is headquartered. While the setting itself is unusual, it may explain why the device was spotted in public at all. What stands out immediately is the presence of two lenses housed inside the familiar rotating gimbal head. Previous models, including the popular Osmo Pocket 3, have always relied on a single camera.
Alongside the dual lenses, the rotating touchscreen introduced with the Pocket 3 is also visible. That detail helps place this clearly within the Osmo Pocket family, even though the hardware looks more advanced. The dual-camera design is widely expected to be exclusive to the “Pro” variant, helping distinguish it from a standard Osmo Pocket 4.
There’s still no official word on the sensor sizes and what each camera does, but current speculation points to a wide-angle main lens paired with a secondary 2-4x telephoto or zoom camera.
Osmo Pocket 4 and Osmo Pocket 4 Pro, from left to right
The timing of the leak is also interesting. Earlier rumors suggested the regular Osmo Pocket 4 might launch first, with the Pro version following later in the year. Seeing what looks like a finished unit in a real-world setting suggests development is further along than expected.
The Osmo Pocket 3 is still selling well, but a dual-camera Pro model could tempt creators who want more flexibility without moving to larger cameras. With retail box leaks and regulatory filings already circulating, an official announcement may not be far off.
For now, this image is the strongest hint yet that DJI’s next Pocket camera will be a meaningful step forward, not just a routine update.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s China visit comes amid fresh uncertainty over H200 AI chip imports.
China’s customs block shows how fragile US approval is without Beijing’s green light.
The episode underlines the next phase of the US–China tech war: selective access, higher costs, and slower trust.
Jensen Huang – CEO NVIDIA
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is currently in China, visiting Shanghai, and is expected to visit Beijing and Shenzhen. The trip follows Nvidia’s long-running Lunar New Year tradition with employees, but it comes at a tense moment.
Just days earlier, Nvidia’s H200 AI chips were unexpectedly blocked by Chinese customs after arriving in Hong Kong. No formal explanation has been given, and officials have not said whether the restriction is temporary or permanent.
Nvidia has also stayed silent, adding to uncertainty for customers and investors.
Why the H200 Block Matters
The H200 is one of Nvidia’s most powerful AI chips allowed for China under US rules. Washington approved exports again in December, under President Donald Trump, after months of lobbying. However, China’s customs action shows that US approval alone is not enough.
Chinese regulators have warned local tech firms to reduce reliance on Nvidia and prioritise domestic chips. Companies like Alibaba Group, Tencent, and ByteDance are now buying H200s only for critical projects. Limited supply has also pushed prices up sharply on the grey market.
What This Means for the US–China Tech War
This episode highlights a new phase of the tech conflict. Instead of full bans, both sides are using delays, fees, and quiet approvals as leverage. For the US, it limits China’s access without shutting the door completely. For China, it pressures firms to build local alternatives while keeping Nvidia within reach.
Looking ahead, the future likely means slower approvals, higher costs, and more uncertainty. NVIDIA may still do business in China, but every shipment now depends on politics as much as performance.
Xiaomi has introduced the Mijia Inverter Purifying Dehumidifier Max in China. The new model targets users in large homes and high-humidity environments and is priced at 3,799 yuan ($544) during the pre-sale period.

Benchmark scores suggest a clear performance advantage for the Dimensity 9500 over the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5. However, that’s not the complete picture. They do not cover every aspect, such as connectivity, on-device AI, ISP, and more. So, let’s dig further to find out which one is actually the better chipset overall.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 vs Dimensity 9500: Key differences that matter
CPU, GPU, & NPU
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 uses a 2+6 CPU configuration, featuring two Oryon prime cores and six Oryon performance cores. In contrast, the Dimensity 9500 features a 1+3+4 CPU configuration, with one Cortex C1-Ultra prime core, three Cortex C1-Premium performance cores, and four Cortex C1-Pro lower-power cores. The Dimensity chip has a higher peak speed, allowing it to achieve higher peak performance. We just saw that in benchmark scores.
For rendering graphics, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 primarily relies on the Adreno 829, leveraging the Qualcomm Sliced architecture and a full suite of Snapdragon Elite Gaming features to deliver smooth gaming performance with lower latency and stable frame rates. In contrast, the Dimensity 9500s uses Mali-G1 Ultra MP12 GPU with support for MediaTek HyperEngine Gaming Technology and 120fps ray-traced mobile gaming.
Both chipsets feature capable NPUs (the Hexagon NPU on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 and the MediaTek NPU 990 on the Dimensity 9500) with multimodal and agentic AI capabilities. The AI also helps optimize camera output, the gaming experience, and connectivity.
Camera, ISP, & connectivity
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 uses a 20-bit Spectra triple AI-ISP, while the Dimensity 9500 relies on the Imagiq 1190 ISP to convert raw data into usable photos and videos. Additionally, there are numerous features to improve the output quality. Furthermore, there are additional optimizations from the smartphone brand that could make a significant difference.
Both chipsets deliver robust connectivity features, including 5G support, Bluetooth 6.0 standard, and impressive peak download and upload speeds. However, Qualcomm may have an edge in some markets, such as North America, due to stronger carrier aggregation and more mature modem capabilities.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 vs Dimensity 9500: Which is a better choice?
The Dimensity 9500 is the better choice overall. Its newer C1-series CPU cores, higher clock speeds, and stronger GPU output translate into superior benchmark scores and better peak performance, especially in demanding tasks and high-end gaming. The chip should also deliver better power efficiency.
However, if peak performance and longer gaming sessions are not your thing, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 is actually a more sensible choice. It delivers robust connectivity, a mature ISP, and better computational photography. On top of everything, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 phones tend to be cheaper than phones powered by Dimensity 9500.
Apple looks set to make a small but noticeable change to the front of its next Pro iPhone. As per the latest leak, the iPhone 18 Pro could arrive with a smaller Dynamic Island, trimming down a design element that has stayed almost untouched for years.
The Dynamic Island first appeared on the iPhone 14 Pro and, physically at least, it has barely changed since then. Even on the current iPhone 17 Pro, the pill-shaped cutout is still wide enough to be clearly visible during videos, games, or any content that pushes right up to the top of the display. Apple has done a lot with it in software, but the hardware footprint has remained the same.
For a short while, it looked like Apple might go in a very different direction in 2026. Some early reports hinted at a small punch-hole camera placed toward the top-left of the screen, with Face ID hidden entirely under the display. That now seems unlikely. According to leaker yeux1122, the company is taking a more measured approach instead.
The latest information suggests Apple may move an infrared sensor beneath the AMOLED panel. By doing that, the visible cutout would no longer need to be as wide.
A comparison image shared by the leaker shows the Dynamic Island shrinking from about 20.76mm on the iPhone 17 Pro to roughly 13.49mm on the iPhone 18 Pro. That’s close to a 35% reduction, mostly in width. The height stays more or less the same, and the cutout remains centered.
On paper, this doesn’t sound dramatic, but it could make a difference in daily use. There would be a bit more usable screen space on both sides of the cutout, and the Dynamic Island itself would feel less dominant when watching videos or playing games. Developers might also get more room to work with for live activities and alerts.
It looks like Apple is edging toward a cleaner, more immersive display. However, an Android-style hole-punch cutout seems more likely to be reserved for the 20th anniversary iPhone.
Xiaomi is quietly preparing its own answer to Apple’s AirTag and similar item trackers. Last month, a report suggested that a product called the Xiaomi Tag was in development. Now, fresh details from a reliable source add more weight to that claim.
Well-known leaker Kacper Skrzypek shared on X that he discovered references to the Xiaomi Tag hidden inside HyperOS system files.
Based on what he found, Xiaomi’s tracker may debut first in mainland China, rather than launching globally right away. Not as surprising, as Xiaomi often rolls out new hardware in its home market before expanding elsewhere.
According to Skrzypek, the Xiaomi Tag will look similar to Samsung’s Galaxy SmartTag 2. It’s also expected to come in two different versions.
One model will support Ultra-Wideband (UWB), which allows for more precise location tracking at close range, while the other will rely only on Bluetooth. Both versions are said to use CR2032 coin cell batteries for power.
Here’s what Xiaomi Tag looks like
The leaker also shared a product rendering image, which gives a rough idea of the design Xiaomi may be going for. While the image doesn’t confirm final hardware details, it suggests Xiaomi is sticking with a clean, functional look rather than trying something radically different.
More clues come from strings of code found in HyperOS, which hint at how the Xiaomi Tag will work in everyday use.
Users should be able to pair the tag by simply peeling off an insulating sticker on the back and bringing the tag close to their phone for automatic pairing. Once set up, you should see the tag’s location on a map, get notifications when an item is lost, and manage safety features. One such feature allows trusted users to avoid triggering “unknown tracker” alerts when traveling together.
For now, Xiaomi hasn’t officially confirmed the product.
iQOO has recently begun teasing the launch of the iQOO 15R in India. The first teaser offered little more than a glimpse at the phone’s design, but a fresh Geekbench listing now adds a few new concrete details to the picture.
The device appears on the benchmark as Vivo I2508, which is a model number believed to correspond to the iQOO 15R. In testing, it posted a single-core score of 2,590 and a multi-core score of 8,423.
iQOO 15R runs on Snapdragon 8 Gen 5
Geekbench’s CPU breakdown shows two prime cores clocked at up to 3.80GHz, alongside six performance cores running at 3.32GHz. Those clock speeds closely match Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, suggesting that iQOO’s upcoming phone could be powered by this flagship chip.
The listing also reveals Android 16 OS and 8GB of RAM on the tested unit. While that doesn’t confirm the full range of memory options, it does leave the door open for higher-end configurations at launch.
iQOO Z11 Turbo
Interestingly, recent leaks suggest the iQOO 15R may be a rebranded version of the iQOO Z11 Turbo. If that turns out to be true, the phone could feature a 6.59-inch AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate, along with IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance.
Other rumored specs include up to 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM, up to 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage, and a camera setup headlined by a 200-megapixel main sensor paired with an 8-megapixel ultrawide. On the front, a 32-megapixel camera is expected to handle selfies.
Powering it all could be a massive 7,600mAh battery with support for 100W wired fast charging. The price in China starts at CNY 2,699 or INR 35,999, so we can expect iQOO 15R to launch close to the INR 40,000 range.

The latest leak suggests DJI’s next compact gimbal camera could be just around the corner. Retail packaging believed to belong to the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 has surfaced online, offering an early look at what DJI may have planned as the successor to the Osmo Pocket 3.
The images were shared by tipster Igor Bogdanov (@Quadro_News on X) and appear to show finalized retail boxes, indicating the device may already be moving through distribution channels. From what’s visible, DJI hasn’t drastically changed the formula. The Osmo Pocket 4 keeps the familiar pocket-sized design, with a single stabilized camera module at the top and a rotating touchscreen at the bottom, a layout that has worked well for vloggers and travelers.
That said, the packaging also hints at some practical refinements. Most notably, there appear to be new physical buttons near the hinge area, including a dedicated zoom control and a customizable “C” button. These additions should make one-handed operation easier, especially when adjusting focal length or switching modes mid-shot — something Pocket users have long asked for.
The leak lines up with another recent post from the same source, which showed what looked like an internal warehouse inventory listing multiple Osmo Pocket 4 SKUs and bundles, including creator kits. Labels such as “registered consignment” suggest the device has moved beyond testing and into mass production, which usually happens shortly before launch.
So far, there’s no confirmation on hardware upgrades like sensors or video specs. Earlier rumors point toward DJI sticking with strong core features such as 3-axis stabilization, possibly building on the Pocket 3’s 1-inch sensor, rather than reinventing the device entirely.
With packaging and warehouse listings now leaking, the Osmo Pocket 4’s debut feels increasingly close. DJI hasn’t said anything officially yet, but if history is any indication, an announcement may not be far off.
Asus has unveiled the ROG Strix GS-BE7200, a dual-band WiFi 7 gaming router targeting users requiring high-speed wireless and wired connectivity.
The routergive me operates on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands using the WiFi 7 802.11be standard, delivering 1,376 Mbps and 5,764 Mbps respectively. Multi-Link Operation and 4096-QAM enable combined wireless throughput of 7.2 Gbps. The device lacks 6 GHz band support but incorporates Beamforming, OFDMA, and MU-MIMO for improved efficiency.
Six internal antennas with enhanced 5 GHz long-range tuning provide up to 15 percent better throughput at extended distances compared to standard 5 GHz 4T4R routers, according to Asus.
Five 2.5 Gbps Ethernet ports deliver 12.5 Gbps total wired capacity: one WAN port for modem connection and four LAN ports for connected devices. Two LAN ports function as dedicated gaming ports with traffic prioritization. The 2.5 Gbps port speed may limit performance with high-end NAS systems using fast SSD storage.
The GS-BE7200 supports multiple network configurations, including guest networks and isolated IoT subnetworks. Smart Home Master streamlines IoT device setup and VPN subnetwork creation. Security includes AiProtection’s triple-layer protection, parental controls, and pre-installed VPN support for network-wide traffic encryption.
Gaming-specific features include ROG’s proprietary Gaming Network with integrated game acceleration. WiFi 7-enhanced AiMesh compatibility allows mesh network expansion with other Asus routers.
The router features ROG’s signature gaming aesthetic with bold markings and integrated RGB lighting. Users can manage the device through a web interface or companion mobile application. Asus has not disclosed pricing or release dates for the ROG Strix GS-BE7200.

Early leaks suggest Oppo may be planning a notable camera upgrade for its next standard flagship. According to recent information, the standard Oppo Find X10 could receive a much stronger telephoto setup than its predecessor, potentially narrowing the long-standing gap between base and higher-end variants.
For context, the current Find X9 series, launched in October 2025, follows a familiar split. The regular Find X9 uses a 50MP periscope telephoto sensor, while the Find X9 Pro steps up to a significantly larger 200MP periscope camera, which has been one of its key selling points.
That may change with the Find X10. Tipster Digital Chat Station reports that Oppo is testing a 200MP periscope telephoto for the standard Find X10. If accurate, this would be a major jump from the current hardware and a rare move for a non-Pro model in Oppo’s lineup.
The exact sensor hasn’t been confirmed yet. Oppo could reuse Samsung’s ISOCELL HP5 or switch to a newer alternative, but either option would mark a clear upgrade in both resolution and sensor size.
A higher-resolution telephoto could bring practical gains, including sharper long-range shots, improved low-light zoom, and more flexibility for cropping. It would also make the base Find X model far more competitive against other camera-focused flagships.
Oppo isn’t alone in this direction. OnePlus is also rumored to be considering a 200MP telephoto for the upcoming OnePlus 16, suggesting a broader shift toward high-resolution zoom cameras across the group.
The Find X10 series is expected to arrive sometime in late 2026, following Oppo’s usual annual cycle. Before that, the company is likely to unveil the Find X9 Ultra, which could introduce further camera refinements ahead of the X10 generation.
If these early details hold up, the standard Find X10 could end up offering near Pro-level zoom performance, a move that would make it one of Oppo’s most compelling base flagships in recent years.
The Edge 70 Fusion scored 1,215 points in the single-core test and 3,186 points in the multi-core test. The listing also confirms that the phone is running Android 16.
Motorola Edge 70 Fusion Geekbench
The benchmark data confirms the phone running on an octa-core Snapdragon chipset. The CPU layout includes one prime core clocked at 2.71 GHz, three performance cores capped at 2.40 GHz, and four efficiency cores running at 1.80 GHz.
The configuration matches that of Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 4, but a recent leak claims the phone features a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 instead. So for now, the exact chip remains unconfirmed, but it’s clear Motorola is sticking with a Snapdragon platform.
Geekbench also lists 11.14GB of RAM, which strongly suggests a 12GB RAM variant will be available at launch. Previous leak also suggests Motorola will be offering the phone in 8GB variant, both paired with 256GB of internal storage.
Motorola Edge 70 Fusion Specs (Expected)
Beyond performance, the Edge 70 Fusion is tipped to feature a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. On the camera side, the phone is expected to use a 50-megapixel Sony LYTIA sensor for the main camera, along with a 32-megapixel front-facing shooter.
Motorola Edge 60 F
Fueling the phone is a large 7,000mAh battery with support for 68W fast charging. It’s also said to carry IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance, along with MIL-STD-810H certification.
Motorola is also expected to promise three years of Android updates for the Edge 70 Fusion. Color options may include Blue Surf, Country Air, Orient Blue, Sporting Green, and Silhouette.
