RAM prices are suddenly out of control — 64GB DDR5 now costs more than a PS5

If you were thinking about upgrading your gaming PC with a chunky 64GB of DDR5 RAM, you might want to sit down first. Memory prices have shot up so fast in the past couple of months that a top-tier RAM kit can now cost more than a brand-new PlayStation 5. It’s gotten bad enough that Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney is publicly sounding the alarm, calling the trend “a real problem for high-end gaming in the coming years.”

Just look at the numbers. Back in mid-October, a 64GB Crucial Pro DDR5-6000 kit could be picked up for around $260. By Black Friday? About $498. No special sale, no limited stock — that’s just the new price. G.Skill’s popular Trident Z5 Neo RGB 64GB DDR5-6000 kit has seen an even wilder swing: it hit a low of $220 on September 20, and now Newegg lists it for $599, and that’s after a $40 discount.

What’s driving this? It’s mostly the fault of the booming AI industry. Memory suppliers like Samsung and SK hynix have shifted their most advanced manufacturing capacity toward lucrative AI data-center orders — customers who will happily pay much more than gamers ever would. That leaves consumers fighting over whatever capacity is left, pushing prices higher week after week.

And it’s not only RAM feeling the squeeze. Storage is next in line. High-capacity SSDs, HDDs, and even microSD cards are seeing higher price floors and fewer deals, as the same chip fabs try to keep up with datacenter demand.

Some analysts like to suggest an AI bubble could eventually pop and correct things. Sweeney doesn’t sound like he’s counting on that anytime soon. His warning focuses on the next few years — a long stretch where high-end PC gaming might get significantly more expensive simply because memory chip production is shifting away from consumer hardware and toward HBM, which powers AI training and inference.

So if you were planning to grab a big RAM kit to future-proof your rig, the unfortunate reality right now is this: you’re paying PS5 money for a pair of sticks.

POCO F8 Ultra Launches Globally: Flagship Killer Specs, Denim Aesthetic, & Premium Bose Sound

POCO has officially launched the POCO F8 Ultra globally, bringing together flagship-level performance and a bold new design language. This model brings cutting edge hardware along with a unique new denim inspired look and a premium sound system. So let’s check it out.

POCO F8 Ultra: Design & Display

To recall, the POCO F8 Ultra is basically a rebranded Redmi K90 Pro Max (Review), which previously debuted in China. So we get an elongated camera module on the rear once again, which houses the triple cameras, LED flash, and the dedicated rear facing speaker with “Sound by Bose”. One of the colorways brings the new Denim look, which has a textured back. Although, this isn’t actually denim on the rear. For protection against the elements, you get an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance.

Meanwhile, the front sports a tall 6.9-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, 480Hz touch sampling rate, DCI-P3 wide color gamut, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and 3500 nits of peak brightness. This panel can even go as low as 1 nit in brightness levels.

Performance

This high end chipset is coupled with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage. Under the hood, the POCO F8 Ultra is powered by a huge 6,500mAh battery pack, which supports 100W wired fast charging and 50W wireless fast charging.

POCO F8 Ultra and POCO F8 Pro

This is one of the downgrades from the Redmi K90 Pro Max’s larger 7,560mAh cell. Other notable features include NFC support, Bluetooth 5.4, WiFi 7, and an in-display fingerprint scanner. One of the big new features is the Bose tuned 2.1 stereo setup that includes bottom and top firing speakers and the large independent bass unit on the back. Out of the box, the POCO F8 Ultra runs on the Android 16 OS based on the HyperOS 3 custom skin out of the box.

Camera

The powerful camera system of the K90 Pro Max returns on the POCO F8 Ultra. You get the Xiaomi 17’s 50MP Light Fusion 950 main camera with OIS and a 1/1.31-inch sensor size that is paired with a 50MP periscope telephoto shooter with 5x optical zoom, and a 50MP ultra wide angle lens. Meanwhile, the front houses a 32MP camera for selfies and video calls.

Pricing and Availability

POCO just announced the POCO F8 Ultra in two color options, namely Black and Denim Blue. It carries a starting price tag of 729 US Dollars for the 12GB + 256GB base variant, while the 16GB + 512GB option costs 799 US Dollars. In the UK, the F8 Ultra is priced at 549 and 599 Pounds Sterling, respectively. But during Xiaomi’s early bird deal, the POCO F8 Ultra will sell for 679 US Dollars and 729 US Dollars. Keep in mind, this is a limited time deal that will end on 10th December 2025.

What to Expect from the OnePlus 15R: Every New Change & Upgrades

After launching the OnePlus 15 flagship, the company has teased a more affordable entry in the 15 series. The OnePlus 15R is set to debut as a budget flagship model with powerful specs. There are various upgrades, a few downgrades, and much more. So here’s everything you need to know.

OnePlus 15R: Design & Display

With the OnePlus 15 lineup, the Chinese brand made a big change in the design of its latest premium phones. The rounded rectangular metallic camera module of the OnePlus 13s is the look for the next gen devices, bringing a dual tone finish. This device measures a hefty 216 grams and offers an IP68 + IP69 rating for water and dust resistance. Once again, the alert slider has been switched out for the Plus Key on the side.

The build quality is expected to retain premium materials with glass on the back and an aluminum frame. OnePlus could release this phone in two color options, namely Charcoal Black and Mint Breeze. Meanwhile, the front sports a tall 6.83-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate, which is similar to the brand’s flagship OnePlus 15 model. We can expect a high peak brightness, some kind of HDR support, and a high touch sampling rate for gaming enthusiasts.

Performance

Under the hood, the OnePlus 15R might be one of the first smartphones to feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 SoC. To recall, the model is expected to be a rebranded global version of the China exclusive OnePlus Ace 6T model, which recently surfaced on AnTuTu with a score of 3,561,559 points. This high end chipset might be paired with up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of internal storage.

OnePlus Ace 6T

An impressively massive 8,000mAh battery pack powers this device, which supports 100W wired fast charging. Other notable features include an x-axis linear motor, an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner, stereo speakers, Android 16 OS based OxygenOS 16 custom skin out of the box,

Camera

Despite the various upgrades in performance and battery life, the company is making an odd downgrade with the camera system. The OnePlus 15R is expected to ship with a 50MP primary camera and an 8MP ultra wide angle lens, skipping the 50MP telephoto shooter with 2x optical zoom on its predecessor. For selfies and video calls, the front could house a 32MP camera.

Launch Date

OnePlus 15R, Pad Go 2, Watch Lite
OnePlus 15R, OnePlus Pad Go 2, and OnePlus Watch Lite are launching on December 17

OnePlus is set to unveil the OnePlus 15R in the global market on 17th December 2026. This device will be announced alongside the OnePlus Pad Go 2 and OnePlus Watch Lite.

Huawei’s new 66W, 12,000mAh power bank packs a built-in cable and has a slim design

Huawei has launched a new power bank in China that tries to solve one of the most annoying charging problems: forgetting your cable. The company’s new All-in-One Power Bank (66W, 12,000 mAh) has a USB-C cable permanently attached to the side, plus a second USB-C port if you want to charge another device at the same time.

The headline feature is compatibility. The power bank supports 66W two-way fast charging and works with Huawei SuperCharge, UFCS (Universal Fast Charging Specification) as well as standard PD, PPS, and QC protocols. Huawei says a Mate 70 can go from nearly empty to 84% in around 30 minutes, which is pretty solid for something this portable.

The fixed cable itself is reinforced and rated to survive 10,000 bends. The battery inside is 12,000 mAh, and if you plug the power bank into a 66W charger, it should refill in roughly 110 minutes. The whole thing weighs 236 grams and is only 15.6 mm thick, which means it’s more pocket-friendly than some of the thicker bricks on the market.

One perk designed for Huawei phone owners: HarmonyOS devices can show the power bank’s remaining battery directly on the phone’s screen while charging. For everyone else, it’s a standard LED indicator experience. Huawei is selling the power bank in black and white finishes.

Pricing and availability:

Pricing lands at CNY 329 (about $46), making it competitively priced in its home market. There’s no mention of a global launch yet.

For Huawei fans who want fast charging without cable clutter, this looks like a clean and practical upgrade that won’t take up much space in a bag or pocket.

Xiaomi’s new Robot Vacuum S40 Pro has a wild extending mop and 15,000 Pa suction

Xiaomi has quietly dropped a new robot vacuum in Europe — the Robot Vacuum S40 Pro — and it’s a pretty noticeable upgrade over the regular S40 that debuted only a few weeks ago. Think of it as the model for people who want something close to flagship cleaning power without going all-in on the highest-end pricing.

The big stat Xiaomi is leaning on is suction power: the S40 Pro hits 15,000 Pa, which is a hefty bump from the 10,000 Pa on the standard S40. It still uses a central roller brush designed to avoid hair tangles and has a side brush to clean along edges, but things get more interesting when mopping enters the chat.

Instead of a basic wipe-style mop, the S40 Pro uses two spinning mop pads that can crank at up to 180 rpm. One of those pads sits on a mechanical arm that extends to reach corners and wall edges — areas most robot vacuums awkwardly ignore. And if you’ve got carpets, the mop automatically lifts itself so your rugs don’t end up soggy. Three adjustable water flow levels let you fine-tune how aggressively it cleans.

Navigation is handled by an LDS laser system plus a structured-light sensor for spotting obstacles over a wide 129° field. Xiaomi says the vacuum can handle roughly 180m² (around 1,938 sq. ft.) of floor space per charge, which should cover most apartments and small houses in a single run. Like usual, everything is controlled through the Xiaomi Home app — maps, scheduling, cleaning zones, the lot — and voice assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant are supported too.

Pricing and availability:

Xiaomi is rolling out the S40 Pro across Europe right away. In the Netherlands, it’s listed at €279, while Spain, France, and Germany show €299.99. The UK gets it for £259.99.

All told, the S40 Pro looks like a solid value play: bigger suction numbers, a smarter mop system, and an eye-catching price to rattle the competition in Europe’s already crowded robot cleaner market.

What’s so special about Huawei’s latest foldable Mate X7?

Huawei is pushing the limits of foldable smartphone design with the launch of the Mate X7. This premium foldable device refines nearly every aspect of its predecessor, the Mate X6, while introducing new technologies in display, materials, performance, and connectivity.

Built on Huawei’s proprietary hardware-software ecosystem, the Mate X7 is not only durable but feature-packed, with serious upgrades in imaging, display brightness, and off-grid communication.

Huawei-Mate-X7

1. Bright and Responsive Displays

The Mate X7 features two OLED screens built for clarity, brightness, and fluidity. The outer 6.49-inch panel pushes peak brightness to 3000 nits, while the foldable 8-inch display hits 2500 nits.

Both support LTPO adaptive refresh from 1 Hz to 120 Hz and use 1440Hz PWM dimming to reduce eye strain. The screens support the P3 color gamut and display over 1 billion colors, with Huawei’s COE ultra-transparent pixel tech helping reduce power usage by up to 25%.

Touch response is also optimized. The outer screen reaches a 300Hz sampling rate, while the inner screen supports 240Hz. Both panels deliver an immersive and responsive experience, whether the phone is folded or unfolded.

2. Strong Build and Durability

The Mate X7 is built around Huawei’s Xuanwu folding architecture, using a tri-layer composite structure for the inner screen that includes non-Newtonian materials, UTG glass, and a carbon-fiber base. Huawei claims a 100% improvement in bending durability and 20% more impact resistance compared to its predecessor.

The outer screen is protected by second-generation Kunlun Glass, and the Collector’s Edition upgrades this to Xuanwu-tempered Kunlun Glass. The entire device carries IP58 and IP59 ratings for dust and water resistance, including protection against high-pressure water jets.

3. Hardware and Performance

Huawei equips the Mate X7 with the Kirin 9030 Pro processor, paired with up to 20GB RAM and 1TB storage on the top Collector’s Edition variant. HarmonyOS 6 powers the software side, unlocking features like AI-enhanced multitasking, document comparison, intelligent note-taking, and dynamic reading enhancements optimized for the foldable form factor.

The Mate X7 features a graphene-based cooling system with a 3550 mm² vapor chamber and ultra-conductive 2000W/m·K graphene layers to manage thermals during intensive use.

Battery life holds up well, though it doesn’t aim for any jaw-dropping numbers. The Collector’s Edition uses a 5600mAh battery, while the standard model includes a 5525mAh unit. Both support 66W wired charging, 50W wireless charging, reverse wireless charging, and a 10-day extreme outdoor standby mode.

4. Connectivity Features

Huawei focuses heavily on remote communication. The Mate X7 supports Beidou satellite messaging, while the Collector’s Edition also includes Tiantong satellite calling. The phone includes Huawei’s 5A networking system that improves connectivity in weak-signal areas, and it also supports emergency off-grid communication through China Broadcasting.

For connectivity, the device includes Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0 with LDAC and L2HC, USB-C 3.1 Gen1 with DP output, NFC, and full-band GNSS including NavIC, QZSS, and GALILEO.

5. Cameras

The Mate X7 debuts Huawei’s second-generation Red Maple Imaging system. The rear camera setup includes a 50MP main sensor with a ten-stop variable aperture, a 40MP ultra-wide lens, and a 50MP 3.5x telephoto macro lens. The system supports OIS, RAW capture, up to 100x zoom, and 4K HDR video. Huawei claims the new imaging system achieves flagship-level results in a compact module optimized for the foldable design.

The Collector’s Edition makes bolder claims, stating its 1/1.28-inch main sensor collects 100% more light than the iPhone 17 Pro Max, while the periscope lens pulls in 127% more light. Both front screens feature 8MP cameras capable of 4K video.

6. Price and Availability

Huawei has priced the Mate X7 aggressively in the ultra-premium foldable segment. The base 12GB + 256GB model starts at 12,999 yuan (~$1,830), while the Collector’s Edition with stylus support and 20GB + 1TB configuration reaches 17,599 yuan (~$2,475).

All variants support the same durability ratings and display technologies, with added perks like M-Pen 3 stylus compatibility exclusive to the higher-end models.

Navigation sensors include digital compass, altimeter, and barometer. Fitness tracking spans 100+ sports modes with steps, distance, calories, continuous heart-rate monitoring, SpO2 checks, and sleep analysis. Additional features include a wrist photo gallery, custom video watch faces, breathing trainer, inactivity prompts, alarm scheduling, music control, and camera shutter trigger.

Reviving a classic: NBD P100 compact camera channels Sony Cyber-shot nostalgia with a modern twist

If you ever owned one of those old Sony Cyber-shot compacts with the sliding front cover, you probably remember the oddly satisfying sound it made as the lens popped out. That tiny mechanical flourish made those cameras feel more alive than today’s flat, slab-like gadgets. Now, a newcomer called NBD is trying to tap straight into that nostalgia with its new P100 — a tiny digital camera that mixes retro mechanics with just enough modern tech to feel relevant again.

The first thing you notice is the familiar sliding panel. Instead of a power button, the whole front plate drops down in one smooth motion, revealing the lens. It’s a clever workaround that keeps the optics protected in your pocket while giving you that old-school “ready to shoot” moment. It’s the kind of small, tactile detail smartphone cameras can’t really replicate.

Inside, the P100 isn’t pretending to be a full-on Sony replacement from the 2000s, but it does try to modernize the formula. NBD has fitted it with a 64-megapixel sensor — and it can shoot 4K video at 30fps. The lens is fixed with a f/1.8 aperture, which should help with low-light snaps and those soft-background portrait shots. The trade-off? No optical zoom. Unlike older Cyber-shots with 5x zoom lenses, the P100 sticks to digital zoom to stay pocket-friendly.

For creative types, there are 18 built-in filters and a handful of shooting modes for sports, portraits, and nighttime scenes. On the back, there’s a small display along with a selfie camera, which gives it a bit of modern, creator-friendly flexibility. Storage is handled by a microSD card, and the camera charges via USB-C. Plug the same cable into your laptop, and it doubles as a webcam — handy if you want better quality for your video calls.

Pricing and availability:

The P100 is currently live on Kickstarter, where early backers can grab it for around $90 before shipping and taxes. Deliveries are supposed to start in January, though — as always with crowdfunding — delays and quality issues are possible, so it’s good to stay realistic.

Still, for anyone who misses the charm of a dedicated compact camera, the P100 scratches an itch. It’s not a perfect revival, but it captures just enough of that slide-to-shoot magic to remind you why small cameras like this were so fun in the first place.

Honor has launched the Watch X5 in China as part of its expanding smartwatch lineup. The new wearable debuted alongside the Honor 500 smartphone series yesterday and is priced at 449 yuan (around $63). It comes in two colors: Moonlight White and Phantom Black.

Honor Watch X5

Honor Watch X5 Specifications

The Watch X5 features a 1.97-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 390×450 pixels and a 302 PPI density. The bezels measure just 1.8mm, resulting in an 82 percent screen-to-body ratio. The display supports a 60Hz refresh rate, Always-On Display mode, and lift-to-wake functionality. It uses 2.5D curved glass for added durability and a premium look.

Honor Watch X5

The smartwatch has a 45.68mm by 40.2mm body with a thickness of 9.99mm at its slimmest point. It weighs about 29 grams without the strap. The case uses an aluminum alloy front and a PC+ABS rear shell. It ships with liquid silicone straps that support quick-release replacement. Honor includes a stainless steel rotating crown for intuitive navigation.

Honor equips the Watch X5 with a range of sensors, including a barometer, compass, gyroscope, geomagnetic sensor, PPG heart-rate sensor, and accelerometer. The device supports over 120 sports modes and includes features like route recording, professional stretching guidance, and voice-based exercise feedback. It supports both 5ATM and IP68 ratings for water and dust resistance, making it suitable for swimming, running, and general fitness activities.

Honor Watch X5

The Watch X5 integrates a five-system GNSS module with support for BeiDou, GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, and QZSS to deliver more reliable outdoor positioning. It uses Bluetooth 5.3 for stable connections and calling, and includes NFC for door access and offline payments.

Health features include 24-hour heart-rate monitoring, SpO2 tracking, sleep and stress analysis, and one-tap health measurements. Female health tracking is also available. All data syncs with the Honor Health app for analysis and long-term trends.

Honor Watch X5

The device supports Android 9.0 and iOS 13.0 or later and charges via a pogo-pin magnetic interface.

Huawei launches a 100W GaN charger with a Type-A/Type-C combo port and foldable plug

Huawei has a new accessory for power users in China. The company has launched a new all-in-one fast charger with up to 100W of output and multiple charging ports in a single compact brick. Let’s dive in.

Huawei Multi-Port All-in-One Charger (100W Max) Overview

What makes this charger interesting is a small design trick you don’t usually see on compact power adapters. Huawei has built in a “fusion port” on the upper section, which can accept both a Type-A or a Type-C cable, depending on what you plug in. 

Below that sits a standard Type-C port, meaning you can charge two devices at the same time in A+C or C+C combo. The power splits dynamically, as expected.

When only one device is plugged in, the charger can deliver its maximum 100W output. Huawei says that’s enough to juice a Pura 70 Pro to 40 percent in just 10 minutes. 

When two devices are connected, the charger intelligently adjusts power between them. Depending on the device combination, output can shift between 88W/18W, 66W/40W, 40W/66W, or 18W/88W. 

As expected, Huawei is positioning this as a universal travel charger too. It supports the company’s own SuperCharge protocol, but it also works with UFCS, PD, PPS, and Qualcomm Quick Charge standards. So if you’re carrying Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi, or gaming phones—or even tablets, laptops, earbuds, or smartwatches—the charger should be able to power them without much fuss. 

Inside, Huawei is using gallium nitride (GaN) and layered graphite cooling to keep temperatures in check, while the foldable plug helps reduce bulk in your backpack.

Huawei is also bundling a 1.8-meter, 7A USB-C braided cable in the box. The company claims it has 70 percent more softness compared to traditional braided cables and is designed to resist tearing.

It’s priced at 299 yuan (around $41); however, global availability remains uncertain.
