BenQ has introduced the BenQ ScreenBar Halo 2 for users who work in dim or shifting lighting conditions. The desk lighting solution is designed for professionals, gamers and creators. Continue reading to learn everything revealed about the new model.
BenQ ScreenBar Halo 2 specifications and features
BenQ ScreenBar Halo 2
The BenQ ScreenBar Halo 2 arrives as a refined monitor light developed after several years of research and user studies. It features a dual-light system and a triple-curvature backlight arrangement that spreads illumination much wider than the previous generation. This broader coverage helps lower the contrast between the screen and the surrounding area, reducing visual fatigue during long work sessions.
BenQ’s ASYM-Light optical technology directs light at an 18-degree cut-off angle so it falls on the desk instead of the monitor surface, eliminating reflections and maintaining clarity. The light can be adjusted using a redesigned wireless control dial with an anti-fingerprint finish. Users can smoothly tune brightness from 0 to 100 percent and shift the colour temperature between 2700K and 6500K. The new zinc alloy mounting clamp supports a range of monitor designs, including curved and ultra-slim models, while resting gently on the display without applying pressure.
Additional features include auto-dimming based on surrounding light, motion detection that turns the light on when the user returns, and memory settings that store preferred brightness and warmth levels. The Halo 2 has been co-designed with MINIMAL Design and carries a clean metallic look that matches BenQ’s PD, RD, MOBIUZ and MA series monitors.
BenQ ScreenBar Halo 2 price in India, availability
The BenQ ScreenBar Halo 2 is available for purchase in India for Rs 17,490 (~$200). It can be bought through the BenQ India E-Store, Amazon India and select retail outlets. BenQ has not indicated any special editions or alternate versions for other markets at the moment.

But now we’re getting the closest thing to a full reveal. Reliable tipster Digital Chat Station has posted what looks like the complete spec sheet for the Honor 500 Pro on Weibo.
Honor 500 Pro Specifications
The Honor 500 Pro seems to mix familiar mid-range features with a few specs you usually see on premium phones. On the front, the device reportedly comes with a 6.55-inch display with a 2736×1264 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.
The design also sticks to the recent trend of clean, simple shapes, featuring a large flat panel with rounded corners and a metal frame.
Honor 500 Pro
Inside, the phone is said to run on the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. It’s said to be paired with 16GB of RAM and a massive 1TB of storage, but that’s likely the highest-tier option. We are expecting the lineup to start at 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, like its predecessor.
One of the biggest highlights is the 8000mAh silicon battery. And previous leaks add that it will support 80W wired and 50W wireless charging. The device will run on MagicOS 10 based on Android 16.
Honor is also going big on cameras this year. The phone reportedly has a 200MP main sensor, although DCS says that the final image quality may not match early prototypes because of “limitations in image processing.”
Other hardware extras round out the package. It has a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, Honor’s self-developed C1+ RF enhancement chip for improved signal performance, and an E2 energy efficiency chip to help manage the large battery.

The Geekbench scores suggest higher responsiveness and faster processing on Snapdragon 6s Gen 4-powered devices than on 6s Gen 3 devices. The newer chip should also result in improved multitasking and higher performance in demanding tasks, where the software leverages multiple processor cores simultaneously.
Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 vs 6s Gen 3: Key differences that matter
The Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 is manufactured using Samsung’s 4nm process node, whereas the 6s Gen 3 utilizes TSMC’s 6nm process node. The former is more advanced and offers better performance and power efficiency.
CPU & GPU
The Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 features a 4+4 revised core configuration, which includes four Cortex-A78 performance cores and four Cortex-A55 efficiency cores. The Gen 3 features just two Cortex-A78 performance cores, but six Cortex-A55 efficiency cores. The newer chip also benefits from a higher peak CPU frequency of 2.4 GHz (vs. 2.3 GHz on the Gen 3).
Qualcomm claims 36% improved CPU and 59% faster GPU performance for the Snapdragon 6s Gen 4. The Adreno GPU brings support for HDR gaming, OpenGL ES 3.2, OpenCL 2.0 FP, and Vulkan 1.1. It also integrates some Snapdragon Elite Gaming features, including Variable Rate Shading (VRS) and Game Quick Touch, offering reduced touch latency and more efficient rendering.
Additionally, the Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 supports a 144Hz refresh rate, up from Gen 3’s 120Hz, to further improve the gaming experience on budget phones.
Camera & Imaging
The camera receives one of the biggest upgrades to the Snapdragon 6s Gen 4, now supporting up to 200MP single-camera resolution, up from 108MP on the Gen 3. It also supports dual 16MP sensors at 30fps with zero shutter lag.
The Gen 4 chip supports 2K HDR video recording at 30fps and 720 slow-mo video recording at 240fps. In contrast, the Gen 3 supports 1080p video recording at 60fps and 720p slow-mo video recording at 120fps.
Connectivity
The newer Snapdragon chip features a newer 3GPP Release 16 5G standard, which delivers higher connection speeds and advanced new features. It supports download speeds of up to 2.9 Gbps over a 5G connection, which is higher than Gen 3’s 2.5 Gbps. Additionally, it incorporates enhanced performance technologies, including Qualcomm Smart Transmit 2.0, Qualcomm 5G PowerSave 2.0, and Qualcomm AI-Enhanced Signal Boost, to further improve 5G connectivity.
Wi-Fi connectivity also receives several notable upgrades, including support for Wi-Fi 6E on the Snapdragon 6s Gen 4. In contrast, the Gen 3 supports Wi-Fi 5. In other words, the newer chip can also use 6GHz to achieve higher speed and improved latency.
The Gen 4 also features a newer Bluetooth 5.4 standard, while the Gen 3 uses Bluetooth 5.2.

Huawei Mate 80 lineup is getting closer to its expected launch, and as usual, leaks are doing most of the talking. And the latest claim from China is that the Mate 80 phones might ship with a massive 20GB of RAM.
Right now, most premium Android phones have 12GB to 16GB of RAM, even when they’re gaming devices. 20GB of storage is completely uncharted territory for mainstream flagships, but Huawei might make it a reality with the Mate 80 series.
Expected to be the Huawei Mate 80 Pro
The phones are also expected to run on Huawei’s new Kirin 9030 processor. Details about the chip are limited, but it will be a step up from last year’s Kirin flagship.
What we know so far
The lineup will reportedly include four models: the standard Mate 80, the Mate 80 Pro, the new Mate 80 Pro Max, and the Mate 80 RS Master Edition.
According to the report from MyDrivers, the Pro Max could replace the Pro+ name, and the change is said to be more than branding. It is said to have a clearer separation from the regular Pro model, though specifics haven’t surfaced yet.
Moreover, early rumors suggest that Huawei is testing a built-in active cooling fan for the Mate 80 series.
One confirmed upgrade across the lineup seems to be 3D face recognition. Huawei has used this feature in its premium versions before, but this will be the first time the standard Mate model gets it.
The series will also support side-mounted fingerprint recognition and carry a new red-maple-colored camera module design.
The Mate 80 series is expected to launch on November 25. As always with pre-launch leaks, nothing is final until the company makes it official, so we suggest you take these details with a pinch of salt.

The product images show that both models feature a flat display with slim bezels and a centred hole-punch camera. The rear design adopts a horizontal camera island that resembles the iPhone Air layout, but Honor uses multiple lenses instead of a single large one.
The base model appears to include two large rings accompanied by smaller cutouts, while the Pro version features a slightly more elaborate module with an additional camera, likely the periscope unit. The Pro handset seems to a new button placed beneath the power key, which is expected to be customisable.
Honor 500, 500 Pro specifications (rumored)
Honor 500 Pro – AquamarineHonor 500 Pro – Starlight PinkHonor 500 Pro – Obsidian BlackHonor 500 Pro – Moonlight Silver
Reports suggest the Honor 500 series will feature a 6.55-inch OLED display offering a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Both phones are expected to feature a 50-megapixel front camera. The Honor 500 may come with a 200-megapixel main camera and an ultra-wide lens and is tipped to be powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset.

A recent leak claimed that the Vivo S50 series will be unveiled in December in China. Now, in a new Weibo post, reliable tipster Digital Chat Station has reiterated the December launch timeframe and revealed a few more details. Continue reading ahead to learn what the tipster revealed in the latest leak.
Vivo S50 series key details tipped
Vivo S50 series leak
DCS claims that the Vivo S50 series will be unveiled in December and is internally codenamed ‘Battle Angel.’ According to him, the company is aiming to bring a true flagship experience in three key areas on its forthcoming mid-range lineup for the first time.
The S50 series’ major upgrades include the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, a Sony IMX882-class periscope telephoto camera, and an improved version of the ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint scanner, which will be the same as the X300 series.
DCS adds that the S50 series continues with a slim, minimalist design while offering hardware and software specifications that are unusually strong for this segment. With the year-end competition in the mid-range “flagship-killer” space heating up, he suggests that users might want to wait for a few models to launch and then compare them.
Reports have revealed that the Vivo S50 Pro Mini will feature a 6.31-inch OLED 1.5K 120Hz display and a battery of between 6,000mAh and 6,500mAh capacity. Under the hood, it will feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5. It will have a triple camera setup, which will include a flagship-grade periscope telephoto camera.
The Vivo S50 is said to be a slightly bigger device equipped with a 6.59-inch OLED 1.5K 120Hz screen. On being asked whether the S50 is equipped with the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset, the tipster responded that it is powered by a Snapdragon 8-series chipset. This phone is also expected to feature a periscope camera in its triple camera unit. Both devices are expected to support 90W wired charging.
There have been some reports claiming that the Vivo V70 heading to the global market will be based on the China-exclusive Vivo S50. The reason is that the V70 has just been spotted with the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 on Geekbench, whereas the S50 is expected to feature a higher Snapdragon 8-series chipset. This indicates that the V70 and S50 may not have many similarities.

Vivo’s latest X300 lineup is barely out the door, and the company hasn’t even taken the wraps off the X300 Ultra yet. Still, early chatter about what comes after the X300 series is already starting to pick up.
A post from well-known Weibo leaker Digital Chat Station suggests that Vivo is preparing a big jump in battery capacities for its next flagship generation.
For context, the standard X300 carries a 6,040mAh pack, while the X300 Pro bumps that to 6,510mAh. The new leak says that the company is looking to increase capacities to 7000mAh with the upcoming X phones.
If Vivo follows its usual naming logic, the upcoming line could skip straight to “X500.” The number “4” is commonly avoided in parts of Asia for cultural reasons, so skipping the X400 series wouldn’t be unprecedented.
The Vivo X300 Ultra, among the current lineup, might housea bigger battery than its two siblings. However, the tipster refuted the rumors of that being a 7000mAh cell in comments.
Mid-range phones will have even bigger batteries
Battery upgrades may not be limited to the high end, either. The same leak claims Vivo is planning to push capacities even higher across its mid-range devices, with some models allegedly targeting 8,000mAh and 9,000mAh cells.
Most Chinese phone makers have already moved toward silicon–carbon batteries, and the shift is happening fast. It’s hard not to wish Samsung and Apple would follow the same path, both of which still rely on roughly 5,000mAh cells in their flagships, despite increasingly bulky designs.
Of course, it’s way too early to talk seriously about the Vivo X500 series. These phones aren’t expected until October or November of next year. But as always, the rumor mill has no intention of waiting for an official reveal.
DJI has released the Neo 2, a compact 151 gram drone built for users who want something easy to carry and easy to control. It is the company’s lightest drone with omnidirectional obstacle sensing and brings new gesture controls, upgraded ActiveTrack and a SelfieShot mode aimed at quick everyday shooting.
A small display sits beside the camera to show the current shooting mode. The drone can lift off straight from the user’s palm by pointing it toward themselves and pressing the take off button. When the flight is done, the Return to Palm feature guides the drone back to the user’s hand so it can land safely without much effort.
Gesture Control is one of the main additions. Holding up one palm lets users move the drone left, right or adjust altitude. Using both palms makes it move closer or farther depending on how the hands shift. The camera angle can also be adjusted without a remote. The Neo 2 listens for voice commands through a smartphone or Bluetooth headphones, and those who want a longer range can connect it to the DJI RC N3 controller for up to 10 km of video transmission.
The drone also works with DJI’s motion controller and goggles for an FPV setup. It uses a 12 MP 1/2 inch CMOS sensor with an f/2.2 aperture and a new 2 axis gimbal that helps keep footage stable. It shoots 4K video at up to 100 fps for slow motion and can record 2.7K vertical clips. With ActiveTrack and SelfieShot, the drone can frame subjects on its own and quickly switch between waist up, full body and long shots. In open spaces, it can track at speeds up to 12 m per second and follow movement in eight directions including diagonals.
Dolly Zoom, QuickShots and MasterShots return with presets like Dronie, Circle, Rocket, Spotlight, Helix and Boomerang for simple social friendly videos.
For beginners, the Neo 2 includes omnidirectional monocular vision, forward LiDAR and downward infrared sensors to detect obstacles. Built in propeller guards add extra protection. Hovering and positioning have also been improved for flying indoors or near buildings and water.
The drone offers level 5 wind resistance, up to 19 minutes of flight time and 49 GB of internal storage. Footage can be moved to the DJI Fly app through Wi Fi at up to 80 MB per second.
Pricing
The Neo 2 starts at 239 euros. The Fly More Combo (drone only) is 329 euros, the full Fly More Combo is 399 euros and the Motion Fly More Combo is 579 euros.
Samsung’s long-awaited tri-fold is finally shaping up. Reliable leaker Evan Blass (@evleaks) has confirmed the official name — Galaxy Z TriFold — along with some key specs such as screen size, battery capacity, and thickness.
Samsung is reportedly sticking with the Z-series branding, keeping the TriFold tied to its foldable heritage rather than spinning it off into a new “Galaxy G Fold” category.
According to the tipster, the TriFold will run on a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip. While the leak didn’t mention a specific chipset and there has been some confusion between the Snapdragon 8 Elite and 8 Elite Gen 5, the latter seems more likely given the larger display, focus on multitasking, and a higher price tag than the upcoming Z Fold8, which is also expected to use the 8 Elite Gen 5.
The Z TriFold is also rumored to pack a 200MP main camera, similar to the Fold7. The rated battery capacity, according to this leak, is 5,437mAh. While this number is lower than a recently leaked spec sheet listing 5,600mAh, that figure likely refers to the typical capacity. For those unfamiliar, the rated capacity is a minimum performance guarantee — ensuring the battery will always meet or exceed that number — while typical capacity represents the more common, slightly higher value seen in real-world use.
The cover display is said to measure 6.5 inches with 2,600 nits of peak brightness, while the main 10-inch AMOLED panel inside reportedly hits 1,600 nits. The device is expected to measure between 3.9mm and 4.2mm thick when unfolded. For comparison, Huawei’s Mate XT Ultimate ranges between 3.6mm and 4.8mm.
According to previous leaks, Samsung is planning a limited launch, with 20,000 to 30,000 units heading to Korea and select Asian markets first. No word yet on a global release.
DJI has released the Osmo Action 6 in China ahead of its global launch on November 18. The camera arrives as the successor to the Osmo Action 5 Pro, which debuted in September last year.
The Osmo Action 6 uses the same 1,950 mAh (7.5 Wh) battery from the Action 5 Pro. DJI claims up to 240 minutes of use on a full charge, with continuous 4K recording rated at 52 minutes, one minute less than before. The camera has a 1.46-inch OLED screen on the front and a 2.5-inch OLED display on the back, both with up to 800 nits of brightness.
Most changes come from the camera hardware. DJI replaced the 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor with a new 1/1.1-inch sensor that offers 13.5 EV of dynamic range. It keeps a 155-degree field of view and adds a variable aperture that ranges from f/2.0 to f/4.0. The Osmo Action 6 can record 4K video at 60 fps in a 1:1 format or 4K at 120 fps for slow motion in 16:9. Still photos reach up to 38 megapixels.
In China, the camera starts at CNY 2,998 (about $422). The standard kit includes the camera, one battery, and basic accessories, while combo kits for biking, snorkeling, and other activities add mounts and protective cases. DJI has not announced international pricing yet.
Unitree Robotics has officially introduced the G1-D, its first wheeled humanoid robot designed for advanced data collection and model training. The robot serves as the centerpiece of a full-stack solution that combines high-performance humanoid hardware with a scalable software platform for data acquisition, AI training, and real-world deployment.

The Standard version is stationary, while the Flagship version features a mobile base that supports differential drive and can move at speeds of up to 1.5 meters per second. The mobile base includes sensors such as LiDAR, depth cameras, and collision detection units.
Unitree has equipped the G1-D with 17 degrees of freedom on the Standard model and 19 on the Flagship model, excluding the end effectors. Each arm has seven degrees of freedom and supports a payload of up to 3 kg. The robot’s waist joint allows motion along the Z-axis up to ±155 degrees and along the Y-axis between -2.5 and +135 degrees. The platform supports a vertical working range of 0 to 2 meters.
The robot features a high-definition binocular camera on its head and an additional HD camera on each wrist. It supports various end effectors, including a two-finger gripper, three-finger dexterous hands with or without tactile sensors, and a five-finger dexterous hand. Unitree has powered the G1-D with an Nvidia Jetson Orin NX module that delivers up to 100 TOPS of AI performance. The Flagship version offers a battery life of up to six hours.
The G1-D is designed for a wide range of real-world applications. It can perform repetitive manual tasks in industrial and service environments, assist in warehouse automation, collect and annotate data for AI training, and even interact with retail or consumer settings using its onboard vision and mobility. The robot’s dexterous hands and mobile base allow it to manipulate objects, conduct inspections, or serve as a data-gathering agent in complex environments.
Alongside the hardware, Unitree has launched a comprehensive software stack that manages the entire AI workflow. This includes data acquisition tools, task management, annotation systems, and real-time tracking. The platform supports distributed training and integrates with popular open-source frameworks such as GROOT and PI. It also includes a simulation environment for model evaluation and supports seamless export and deployment of trained models.
Samsung’s foldable lineup is seemingly gearing up for its biggest year yet — not with wild new form factors, but with smart refinements aimed at everyday users. Leaks out of Korea hint that the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip8 and Z Fold8 will be leaner, smarter, and built to push foldables out of the niche corner and into the mainstream.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7
According to The Bell Korea, Samsung’s 2026 MX (Mobile eXperience) business roadmap sets a goal of 6.7 million combined Flip8 and Fold8 units, about a 10% boost over last year’s sales. The push is led by the Flip8, which is reportedly getting a major hardware revamp. There’s no mention of a Flip8 FE yet.
The Galaxy Z Flip8 is shaping up to be Samsung’s thinnest clamshell yet. Sources suggest the phone could measure just 9.5 mm when folded, roughly 30% slimmer than the Flip7’s 13.7 mm profile. Early leaks suggest the same 6.9-inch inner display, and the slimmer design should make it easier to pocket.
The Galaxy Z Fold8, meanwhile, is expected to stay closer to the Fold7 formula. Expect brighter AMOLED panels and S Pen support refinements, but no major redesign.
With the TriFold expected to arrive as a limited release and the Galaxy S26 series on the horizon, the Flip8 and Fold8 carry the task of bringing foldables to more people. If Samsung can deliver a 9.5 mm Flip that feels as sturdy as it looks, it might finally have a clamshell ready for the masses.
As 2026 approaches, Samsung’s message seems to be clear: the next chapter in foldables isn’t about showing off — it’s about shaving down, selling more, and making foldables feel like the future again.

Xiaomi has quietly launched its latest fast-charging power bank in Europe, and it’s built for travel. The new 67W Power Bank 20000 (Integrated Cable) comes with a built-in USB-C cable that doubles as a lanyard — so you’ll never dig through your bag looking for a cable again.
The power bank supports up to 67W USB-C fast charging (PD 3.0, PPS, QC 3.5) and includes a USB-A and a USB-C port alongside the built-in cable, letting you charge up to three devices at once. When all three ports are in use, total output is capped at 15W. Still, it can be useful when charging low-power devices like smartwatches and earphones.
According to Xiaomi, the power bank has a nominal capacity of 12,000mAh (5V/3A), enough to charge most phones from 0 to 100% at a solid speed.
It also recharges quickly via 65W USB-C input, taking around 2.5 hours to top up completely. There’s a low-current mode for accessories like earbuds, plus a digital display showing the exact battery percentage.
The design is simple but practical: beige or blue, measuring 140 × 72 × 31.2 mm and weighing 415 g.
The 67W Power Bank 20000 is available now in Germany for €45.99 on mi.com/de, with availability expanding to more EU countries in the coming weeks. Xiaomi is also bringing the 67W 10000 and Super Slim Magnetic 5000 to the region.
With fast charging, three ports, and that built-in cable, Xiaomi’s latest power bank looks like a handy little upgrade for anyone who travels light — or just hates tangled cords.
