Sonos has announced its latest compact soundbar and it will sell at $279 when it becomes available on June 7. The Sonos Ray soundbar is designed to boost the audio output from your TV. The $279 price tag of the new Sonos Ray puts it as the cheapest Sonos soundbar on the market. It is also the smallest Sonos soundbar yet.
The Sonos lineup of soundbars is priced from $399, for the Sonos Beam (Gen 2) to $899, for the Sonos Arc. The pretty affordable Sonos Ray is part of the company’s plans to deliver immersive sound options to more consumers. Sonos is leveraging the huge estimated percentage (up to 90%) of TV users who still rely on built-in TV speakers.
The Sonos Ray features tapered edges that make it possible for the soundbar to fit even in tight spaces. A pair of Ray soundbars could also be used as rear speakers for more expansive models like the Sonos Arc or Beam. It can also be fixed vertically to the wall as added support for the bigger soundbars. The size of the Sonos Ray however does not prevent it from delivering a great audio experience. Its bass reflex system uses anti-distortion technology to produce high-quality low-frequency sounds.
The Sonos Ray comes with four drivers including two high-performance tweeters and two elliptical mid-woofers. Although Dolby Atmos technology is lacking in the Sonos Ray, a wide soundstage is still available. Furthermore, the Sonos Ray can be connected to other Sonos soundbars to create a great cinema experience at home. There are several other features in the device like speech enhancement and night mode. Sonos’ proprietary TruePlay technology is used to calibrate its output to its surroundings. The S2 app is available on iOS and Android devices but some of the features are lacking in the Android setting.
The Sonos Ray uses an optical port to connect to the TV, hence it can be used for a wide variety of settings. Sonos is excited about the Ray and it feels it will have a great reception in various markets when it arrives. Global availability details are still lacking for Sonos Ray at this time.

For reasons known to all, HUAWEI is having a hard time manufacturing and marketing its flagship phones. As a result, HONOR broke away from HUAWEI and became an independent brand. This Magic4 Pro is also the first HONOR phone we have reviewed since HONOR became independent. How far can the reborn HONOR Magic4 Pro go, let’s take a look.
The design of Magic4 Pro is familiar to us. As with its predecessor, the camera module is centered in a circle, a design HONOR calls “Eye of Muse”. This symmetrical design is very different from other phones, so you can tell at a glance that you are using a HONOR flagship and not another brand of phone. The Magic 4 Pro we got is cyan, and the glass back panel looks great in the light, just like ceramic. Of course, to keep it beautiful, you have to wipe it very often. The top and bottom bezels are flat, the SIM card slot is at the bottom and supports 2 SIM cards. There is IR emitter, NFC, stereo speakers, ultrasonic fingerprint recognition, IP68, but no headphone jack. However, the Google Mobile Services you care about is available on this HONOR device. It has all the features it should have, and the design is very special, I think Magic4 Pro is doing what a flagship phone should do.
HONOR Magic4 Pro Review: Display
Magic4 Pro uses a 6.8-inch Quad-Curved Display. Although the resolution does not reach WQHD+, it is sharper than the FHD+ of other phones. While it is not a screen supplied by Samsung, its performance is comparable to Samsung’s panel. Some aspects are even better than what Samsung has done. You may not have noticed that very few phones that support LTPO 2.0 this year have the option of DC dimming. Most phones with low-frequency PWM dimming at low brightness will make people with sensitive eyes feel uncomfortable. But Magic4 Pro‘s screen supports 1920Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, which will not make the display worse like DC dimming, but also more eye protection than low-frequency PWM dimming. The side view color cast is also better controlled than the E5 screen with Micro-Lens technology, and the Magic4 Pro has a MEMC chip that can interpolate frames for video, but not for gaming. If I had to pick a downside, I’d like to see the Magic4 Pro with a smaller curved screen, because the larger the curved area, the more serious the problem of black and green edges will be.
HONOR Magic4 Pro Review: Performance & Gaming
Maybe the product is planned earlier, Magic4 Pro’s processor is Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. Because they were all using Kirin processors before, how good is HONOR’s tuning of Snapdragon’s flagship processor, let’s take a look. From the results of each benchmark, they are at least doing the same level as the 8 Gen 1 of other brands, no one data is particularly low.
What about gaming, PUBG is a piece of cake for flagship phones, Genshin’s performance is interesting. Looking at this frame rate curve, the first half of the game is very good, almost perfect. But the second half of the game is locked at 30fps most of the time, and the lowest frame rate is 15fps, which means HONOR is capable of playing to the full strength of 8 Gen 1, but there is still room for improvement. Hopefully, the performance and temperature will be balanced in subsequent updates.
HONOR Magic4 Pro Review: Camera
When we see the huge camera module, we know that the Magic4 Pro’s forte is taking pictures. Indeed, it has a luxurious camera setup. But two of the five lenses are secondary lenses, and only one main camera, the ultra-wide camera and the 3.5x telephoto camera, it can really take pictures on its own.
What impresses me most about the Magic4 Pro’s camera is its powerful image algorithm. The scene you see in the preview screen may not be pretty enough, but once you press the shutter and then quickly go to the album, you can see the magic happen. A bland photo is transformed into a stunning photo. I finally understand why the Magic4 Pro got that name. Whether it’s the ultra-wide-angle camera or the main camera, this magical algorithm gives the photo a huge improvement. This amazing algorithm will also appear on telephoto cameras. This 3.5x telephoto camera is surprisingly powerful. Even if you zoom in to 5 times or 10 times, you can still get a good picture through the algorithm.
Even at 16x zoom, you will still be able to recognize the phone number written on the elevator. You can also get good pictures even at night when the light is low. Well, this algorithm for optimizing photos only works well for more regular graphics, if there is not enough light plus the subject is irregular, then the algorithm will not work as well. The main camera is without OIS, and you may wonder how badly it will perform at night. In fact, it performed well at night, with almost no problems with shaky hands. Overall, I am very satisfied with the Magic4 Pro’s camera performance, especially its 3.5x telephoto camera, which is comparable to a 5x or 10x optical telephoto camera through its algorithm. I think this is the most correct direction for mobile photography.

The recording has also improved a lot with support for switching lenses in 4k 30fps recording. Stability and dynamic range are good. But what surprised me more is the front camera, because it uses an ultra-wide-angle lens, so you are able to take selfies with different focal lengths. And because of the 3D TOF lens, the background bokeh effect is good. This super wide-angle camera is more suitable for video recording, and supports EIS and 4k 30fps with excellent dynamic range. I’m sure magic4 pro is definitely an excellent vlog machine.
HONOR Magic4 Pro Review: Charging
Magic4 Pro supports 100w wired charging. The charger also supports up to 100w output power. It also supports 50w wireless charging. Wired charging takes 15 minutes to charge up to 60% and takes 30 minutes to fill. The Magic4 Pro’s battery capacity is 4600mAh, which is not huge, but it is enough. Although it is a little difficult to go a full day without charging, other 8 Gen 1 phones are at about the same level, so don’t expect the Magic4 Pro’s battery life to be as impressive.
Battery stats
To sum up, Magic4 Pro is actually not HONOR’s powerful flagship phone this year, it’s just a sub-flagship. But this sub-flagship phone does what many flagship phones can do. For example, the superb level of photography, the screen also has some bright spots.
And there are no obvious drawbacks, and GMS can be used normally. If you don’t want to buy an expensive flagship phone, then this cheaper HONOR sub-flagship phone might be more suitable for those of you who like to take pictures.
In addition to launching the MIJIA Wireless Washing Machine, Xiaomi has also launched the MIJIA Electric Shaver S600. The electric shaver packs a compact metal body and a high-end brushless motor.

Realme launched the Realme watch 2 last year, and now it appears that the company is gearing up to unveil its successor named Realme watch 3. The brand’s upcoming third-gen watch has recently been spotted on IMDA certification sites, confirming the moniker of the smartwatch. The watch has bagged BIS certification, meaning it might launch soon in India.
As first reported by MySmartPrice, a realme watch with model number RMW2108 has been listed on Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) website, Singapore. The watch has been listed with the name “Realme Watch 3”. Furthermore, the listing confirms that it will be a Bluetooth-enabled smartwatch. The watch has been classified as a Low-Power gadget.
The smartwatch has also been spotted on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) database with the same model number. The BIS listing reveals the watch’s manufacturing address as Noida, Uttar Pradesh, meaning the Realme Watch 3 will possibly be a “made in India” product. Both listings do not reveal much information except the model number and the name. However, the BIS listing indicates that the India launch of the smartphone might be around the corner.
To give you an idea of what to expect from the upcoming watch, let’s revisit the specifications of its predecessor, the Realme watch 2.
Realme Watch 2 Specifications
The Realme Watch 2 has a 1.4-inch color touch screen display and offers a peak brightness of 600 nits. The smartwatch features a 3-axis accelerometer as well as a heart rate and SpO2 monitor.

The Sony IMX800 sensor is yet to be released, and it is tipped to measure 1/1.1” in size. This will make it the biggest in the industry and edging Samsung’s 50MP 1/1.12 GN2 sensor. Apart from this, there is no additional information on the sensor.
Recently, an Honor phone with model number FNE-AN00 was spotted on the 3C certification site as well as the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The smartphone is speculated to be the upcoming Honor 70 series. As per the listing, the alleged phone will be 5G compatible and come with 60W fast charging support.
The Honor phone will model number FNE-AN00 is said to be equipped with a 6.67-inch OLED display bearing a 1080p resolution. It will reportedly use a BOE screen and support PWM high-frequency dimming. The device is expected to be backed by a 4,800mAh battery unit.
The Honor 70 series is expected to consist of standard, Pro, and Pro+ variants with the former said to come with a Snapdragon 7xx series processor whereas the latter two are tipped to be powered by a Dimensity 8100 and Dimensity 9000 chipset respectively. The Honor 70 series will likely come with a flagship advanced camera system.
We will know more information about the Honor 70 series in the coming days.
Xiaomi recently tease an upcoming product that looks like a cordless vacuum cleaner. Turns out the product has been launched and the mane translates as MIJIA Wireless Washing Machine but is actually a Cordless vacuum cleaner. The floor cleaning gadget looks like a miniature tank. The gadget sweeps, scrubs, and mops the floor, all at once. The wireless device will be on pre-sale for 1999 yuan (~$294), thereafter the price will increase to 2499 yuan (~$367).
The MIJIA Wireless washing machine is different from most floor scrubbers. It adopts an innovative crawler-type roller brush with a front-covered wiping method. The contact area with the ground is 3 times higher than that of a cylindrical roller brush. When the crawler roller brushes move forward, vacuuming, mopping, and cleaning the roller brushes can be carried out at the same time, making it possible to perform the three tasks all at once.
Thanks to the tracked design, the roller brush has a longer circumference, making it difficult for pet hair and even hair up to 25cm to get tangled on the roller brush. In the automatic mode, it can also intelligently detect the degree of dirt and automatically adjust the suction and water output, which is very convenient.
Furthermore, the MIJIA Cordless vacuum cleaner adopts the Superplana reclining technology which includes built-in water and air separation fan that can penetrate into low spaces as low as 12cm.
The cordless vacuum cleaner can automatically start charging when it returns to the cleaning base. Users can also start the deep self-cleaning program with one key, and intelligently adjust the number of cleanings according to the dirt without using their hands.

Google had recently held its I/O 2022 event. During this conference, the company had a number of new products as well as software based announcements. But, one of the most notable gadgets was an AR Glasses that was teased during the virtual event.
For those unaware, the Search engine giant had dabbled with augmented reality in the past with its Google Glass. But this product never hit the commercial market. But during the I/O event, the brand had teased an AR Glasses like product in a short video. In other words, this could be the successor to Google Glass. Notably, this teaser also arrives as the world shifts to the digital realms with announcements like the metaverse and companies like Apple, Meta, and Snap actively working on their own AR related products as well.
In the event, the company had announced the Pixel 6a, Pixel Buds Pro, Pixel Watch, and showcased the design of the Pixel 7 series as well. However, packed in between these launches was the AR Glasses. Looking at the short teaser, we can see the product featuring AI real time language translation. This function was highlighted as a person standing in front was speaking a different language while the wearer received the translated version in the AR format on their glasses, which they could read.
Unfortunately, the teaser only showcased how the new glasses would work and showcased only one of its many features. We still have no idea what the product might look like. Furthermore, Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai confirmed that the AR Glasses are still at an early prototype stage and is currently being tested. So we can expect to hear more from the company sometime in the future.
