Compact smartphones took off this year with a rising trend of devices that are easier to hold and use with one hand. In particular, small premium phones were quite popular with various brands launching their own offerings. Earlier this year, we got the Vivo X200 FE that blended high end specs, capable cameras, and a massive battery in a compact form factor. Now with the release of the Vivo S50 Pro Mini, the successor might be even better. So here’s everything you need to know.
Lenovo isn’t a popular brand when it comes to software updates. However, it does offer major OS upgrades to many of its devices, albeit with some delay, and Android 16 is no exception.
Some Lenovo devices are already receiving the Android 16 update. For the remaining ones, we now have official confirmation (via) on the list of eligible devices and rollout schedule. Review the details below to find out when your Lenovo device will get the update.

It doesn’t take long to realize that there are no smartphones on the list. Well, that’s because Lenovo hasn’t released phones in the last few years. It primarily focuses on tablets.
The above list doesn’t include Motorola smartphones, as we have a separate post for that. You can check Motorola’s Android 16 eligible devices on this page.
So, if you have a Lenovo or Moto tablet that’s on the list, it’s guaranteed to receive the Android 16 update. This major upgrade, however, doesn’t bring too many visual upgrades or groundbreaking changes. Still, there are some new features to look forward to, such as Live updates, Desktop Window, Group notifications, Embedded Photo Picker, APV codec support, New Emojis, Predictive Back upgrades, HDR screenshots, and Advanced Protection Mode.

Google is building Health Connect into something much bigger than a fitness tracker. As per a new report from Mishaal Rehman (via Android Authority), the company is adding medical records and symptom tracking in upcoming Android versions, trying to catch up to Apple Health’s ten-year head start.
Health Connect launched in 2022 to fix Android’s messy health data problem. Before this, fitness apps kept their own data, and users had to manage permissions separately for each one. Health Connect creates a single place where apps can read and write health data after users grant permission. It started with about 40 data types for fitness and wellness.
Google’s November Android Canary release show where Google is headed. Upcoming Android 16 versions will added support for medical records like allergies, vaccinations, and lab results. It also added yoga and meditation sessions. Android 16 QPR2 brought native step tracking. This is the first time Google collected health data directly instead of pulling it from other apps.
Google won’t share user numbers, but Health Connect now comes preinstalled on most phones running Android 14 or newer. Hundreds of apps have added support, including Fitbit, Samsung Health, Google Fit, Nike Run Club, MyFitnessPal, Oura, and Peloton. Developers like it because it cuts down their work and meets Android’s privacy rules.
The interface is getting simpler. As per findings by Rahman, Android Canary builds show a redesigned settings page that lists connected apps first instead of recent data access. Users can now grant or block entire categories of data instead of toggling each type individually. Google removed icons and separate browsing pages, putting everything on one screen.
Google is preparing to add alcohol tracking and a long list of symptoms: different pain types, digestive problems, breathing issues, sleep troubles, and heart symptoms. With medical record support already live, Health Connect is becoming a full health data system, not just a fitness tool.
Apple Health still leads by a wide margin. It’s been on every iPhone for over a decade and works closely with Apple Watch, hospitals, and insurance companies. Samsung Health and Fitbit are still popular, but both now use Health Connect to share data with other apps.

DJI appears to be gearing up for another major update to its Ronin lineup, and early leaks suggest the upcoming RS 5 may bring more than just minor refinements. Based on newly surfaced details, DJI’s first fifth-generation Ronin gimbal could deliver meaningful improvements over both the RS 4 and the RS 4 Pro, especially in battery life and day-to-day usability.
The latest information comes from leaker Igor Bogdanov, who suggests the RS 5 is positioned firmly as a professional-grade device. If accurate, it would sit above the current RS 4 series and address some of the long-standing pain points filmmakers have had with power and setup efficiency. This lines up with DJI’s busy roadmap, with products like the Avata 360 and Osmo Pocket 4 also expected down the line.
The FCC listing for the RS 5 previously revealed a noticeably larger battery — nearly 60% bigger than the RS 4’s, and even over 10% larger than the RS 4 Pro’s. According to Bogdanov, this should result in around a 15% real-world boost in battery life, which could make a real difference during longer shoots. Fast charging also seems to be part of the package, with the gimbal reportedly able to fully recharge in about one hour.
DJI also appears to be refining the user experience. The RS 5 is said to include a new Z-axis indicator, a small but potentially useful addition that could make balancing faster and less fiddly. Despite the internal changes, the gimbal is still rated for a 3 kg payload, keeping it compatible with a wide range of camera mirrorless and cinema camera setups. There are also mentions of improved intelligent tracking and composition features, though DJI hasn’t shared any specifics yet.
As for launch timing, nothing is confirmed. If DJI sticks to its usual patterns, the RS 5 could debut sometime between late February and early April 2026.

Casio has reshaped the idea of a smart outdoor watch by focusing on reliability rather than chasing full smartwatch experiences. As brands like Apple, Samsung, and Garmin continue to expand connected features, Casio has doubled down on its strength in building dependable tools for outdoor use.
Its two flagship lines, G-Shock and Pro Trek, have added smarter capabilities while remaining grounded in distinct design philosophies. One favors brute toughness. The other leans into environmental awareness. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how their smartest features compare in 2026.
DDR5 memory prices have climbed sharply in recent months, raising concerns among PC builders and gamers. While many expect the situation to drag on for years, a senior figure from Sapphire believes the spike may not last as long as feared.
Speaking on The Hardware Unboxed Podcast, Sapphire PR manager Edward Crisler addressed the current DRAM situation and urged buyers not to panic. According to Crisler, some of the recent price increases appear to be driven by uncertainty rather than actual supply shortages.
Crisler said DDR5 prices are currently “unreasonable” and could discourage people from building or upgrading PCs altogether. He warned that sustained high memory costs don’t just affect RAM sales but can also hurt demand for other components, including motherboards, cases, and graphics cards.
Despite that, he struck a more optimistic tone on timing. Crisler suggested that prices could begin to stabilize in six to eight months, arguing that vendors are reacting defensively to market conditions. He compared the situation to past pricing reactions around US tariffs, where companies raised prices in anticipation of disruption, even when supply wasn’t immediately affected.
That outlook runs counter to many industry forecasts. Several analysts expect elevated memory prices to continue well beyond 2026, largely due to limited production expansion from major suppliers such as Samsung and SK Hynix, which are prioritizing higher-margin AI and data center demand.
Even if prices remain high, Crisler believes PC enthusiasts will adapt, as they have during previous shortages. He pointed to past periods where builders held onto older hardware longer or adjusted system specs rather than paying inflated prices.
For now, his advice is simple: avoid panic buying. Whether prices ease in months or stay elevated longer, the DDR5 market remains volatile, and buyers may be better off waiting for clearer signals before making major purchases.

Honor is all set to unveil the Honor Win series of smartphones later this month in China. It is speculated that the brand will announce the Honor Power 2 as a successor to the original Honor Power, which packed a massive 8,000mAh battery, by early 2026.

As far as the release is concerned, DCS claims that the device is tentatively scheduled to launch before the upcoming Chinese Spring Festival, suggesting a January 2026 launch.

MSI has unveiled a new and gorgeous MEG X870E GODLIKE X EDITION motherboard on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the company’s GODLIKE series. And as the name suggests, this is not a mass-market product.
MSI says it will produce just 1,000 units worldwide, and each motherboard will feature a unique serial number along with a numbered gold nameplate.
The X imprint and gold accents on the board make it clear that this is a limited-edition release. The motherboard also features a 3.99-inch Dynamic Dashboard III display that plays a dedicated 10th-anniversary animation when powered on.
MSI is bundling the motherboard with several limited-edition accessories, such as a numbered M.2 Frost Armor matching the motherboard’s serial number, a custom display stand, and even a limited-edition black dragon plush toy.
Under the hood, the MEG X870E GODLIKE X EDITION sticks closely to what you would expect from a no-compromise AM5 motherboard. The power delivery system uses a 24 (110A SPS) + 2 + 1 phase design, paired with dual 8-pin CPU power connectors and third-generation titanium inductors.
MSI says this setup is designed to provide stable power for AMD’s Ryzen 9000 series processors, including scenarios involving extreme overclocking.
Memory support includes four DDR5 slots in a dual-channel layout, with MSI claiming support for memory speeds of up to 9000+ MT/s. And for storage, the motherboard includes five onboard M.2 slots, and MSI bundles an M.2 XPANDER-Z SLIDER GEN5 expansion card.
Moreover, expansion options include two PCIe 5.0 x16 slots and one PCIe 4.0 x4 slot, enough for multi-GPU setups or specialized add-in cards.
To keep everything running reliably, MSI has designed an extensive cooling solution. This includes a second-generation magnetic M.2 Frost Armor system, dense finned heatsinks, cross-shaped heat pipes, and thermal coverage across the VRM, chipset, and storage areas.
MSI has also added several EZ DIY features, such as a graphics card quick-release button, tool-free M.2 clips, and an EZ Bridge interface.
As for connectivity, you get 10G and 5G Ethernet, Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth 5.4. Audio is handled by a fifth-generation esports audio module with 7.1-channel output, and you can tweak all the software settings through MSI Center.
The MEG X870E GODLIKE X EDITION is now available in China for 8,888 yuan. Whereas, MSI’s US store lists it at $1300.
