Spotted by Reddit user Vgkantis, the listing reveals that the Pixel Watch will debut with a price tag of almost €357.

As per the latest report, Honor will be launching a new Honor X40GT smartphone in its home market China in the coming weeks, and the name of the device indicates that the company will be focusing on performance.
The report hasn’t revealed many details about the upcoming mid-range smartphone, but if the previous reports are anything to go by, then the device could be the with model number ADT-AN00 which was recently spotted on the 3C certification website.
If that’s the case, then the smartphone will come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 processor, a 6000mAh battery with 66W fast charging support. It is also said to have a high refresh rate for the screen.
We will have to wait for the official announcement from the company or for the teasers ahead of the launch to know for sure what the device packs. Given the name, it should be an upper mid-range smartphone, but it’s just speculation at this time.
The Honor X40 smartphone, which was launched a couple of weeks ago, features a 6.67-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a punch-hole cutout for housing the front-facing snapper. It is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC and packs a 5100mAh battery with 40W fast charging support.

The leaked renders reveal that the company will be sticking with the transparent design for the earphones. However, this time around, there will be a semi in-ear earbuds instead of the in-ear design found on the Nothing Ear (1), which means that they will come with ear tips to securely fit them in the ear canal.
The Nothing Ear (Stick) was recently spotted on the FCC certification website, which confirmed that each earbud would be powered by a 36mAh battery while the charging case will come packed with a 350mAh battery.

LG has announced the MAGNIT series of TVs and the MAGNIT 4K 136-inch display is the pick of the series. The LG MAGNIT 4K 136-inch display was showcased at CEDIA Expo 2022 as a premium home theater solution. The MAGNIT 4K is a super-sized LED panel that comes with a monster 136-inch screen. It also packs monstrous processing power and AI functionality for a truly immersive home theater experience.
The LG MAGNIT 4K 136-inch display will tickle the fancy of people who may not be swayed by LG’s similarly impressive and award-winning CineBeam HU915QB projector. The MAGNIT 4K 136-inch comes with what LG termed groundbreaking performance. It has a 4K display resolution and offers cutting-edge color, contrast, and clarity. This is driven by the new microLED technology deployed in the TV. LG also claims that the MAGNIT 4K 136-inch TV offers stellar visuals that cannot be replicated by conventional home theater displays. It is the smallest of LG’s high-resolution direct view LED TVs including the 163-inch and 325-inch models.
LG seems to be focused on massively developing monster, high-performance TVs with its flagship 325-inch model with an 8K display. There are no pricing details yet for the LG MAGNIT 4K 136-inch TV. Other availability details will be announced later by the OEM.
