Xiaomi launched a smart foot spa that heats, massages, sterilizes, and folds itself

Xiaomi has launched the Mijia Smart Airbag Foot Bath 2 Pro Lift Version in China. The new smart wellness device is now available for preorder on JD.com at a retail price of 1,149 yuan ($161).

Mijia Smart Airbag Foot Bath 2 Pro Specifications

The product features an electric dual-screw lifting structure that allows the tub to automatically rise and fold with a single button press. Xiaomi claims the mechanism has passed over 10,000 lifting tests without issues. The foot bath expands to 35 cm in height during use and folds down to just 18 cm for easy storage under furniture or next to cabinets.

Xiaomi equips the device with a full-foot airbag massage system that envelops both the instep and sole. The setup delivers a three-zone massage focused on the toes, arches, and heels. The base is lined with a soft TPE pad that feels gentle on the skin and helps prevent dirt accumulation. The foot bath also supports heating and vibration functions to promote better blood flow and reduce fatigue after extended use.

For hygiene, the foot bath uses a UV sterilization lamp embedded inside the water pipeline. The system eliminates bacteria such as E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus with a claimed 99.9% sterilization rate. The UV light remains contained within the internal plumbing to avoid direct skin exposure.

Xiaomi integrates a DPS water-electric separation heating system that manages water temperature between 35°C and 48°C. If the temperature exceeds 54°C, the device triggers an E2 alert and halts heating. The unit includes a 1.5-meter cable with built-in leakage protection that cuts power within 0.1 seconds if an electrical fault is detected.

Xiaomi Mijia Smart Foot Bath 2 Pro

The Airbag Foot Bath 2 Pro integrates with Xiaomi’s HyperOS ecosystem, allowing control through the Mi Home app and Xiao AI voice assistant. It lets users start sessions, modify settings, and monitor usage directly from their devices. The system features ten intelligent massage modes, four customizable presets, and a seven-day foot bath calendar for detailed usage tracking.

The device includes a smart control panel, a timer adjustable between 5 and 60 minutes, and a memory function that recalls preferred settings. Its design also incorporates a hidden carrying handle and bottom rollers for easy movement. It uses a gravity-assisted drainage system and supports one-touch self-cleaning for added convenience.

In related news, Xiaomi recently introduced a new water purifier capable of producing ice and dispensing hot water instantly. The company has also unveiled its first premium French door refrigerator featuring micro-ice fresh technology.

iQOO 15 Mini testing reportedly begins; display and chipset details tipped again

Recent reports have claimed that the iQOO 15 series includes three devices, such as the iQOO 15, 15 Ultra, and 15 Mini. While the iQOO 15 has already launched in China and is now on the verge of a global launch, the other two models are expected to debut in the home market by the first half of 2026. A new leak claims that the company has started testing the compact model.

iQOO 15 Mini key specifications (rumored)

iQOO 15 Mini leak by DCS

According to the tipster, the iQOO 15 Mini, equipped with a 6.31-inch display, is being tested by the brand. The device is powered by a Dimensity 9500 Plus chipset, which hasn’t gone official yet.

The tipster also claimed that the device will arrive with a similar design but did not reveal any further details about its specifications. A previous leak claimed that it may house a massive 7,000mAh battery.

The Dimensity 9500 Plus will most likely end up as an overclocked version of the regular D9500 chip, which debuted in October. To recall, the Dimensity 9400 Plus was announced in April, which suggests that the D9500+ may go official around the same month next year. Therefore, it is likely that the iQOO 15 Mini may debut in the second quarter of 2026.

In terms of competition, the iQOO 15 Mini may rival the OnePlus 15T, the Honor Magic Mini, the Oppo Find X9s, and the Vivo X300s, which are expected to debut around the same time in China. Except for the OnePlus model, which will have the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip onboard, the other devices could be equipped with the D9500+.

Readers are advised to wait for further reports to learn more about the iQOO 15 Mini.

Xiaomi 17 Ultra to set new benchmark with industry’s largest camera sensor

Recent reports have suggested that Xiaomi may announce the Xiaomi 17 Ultra by the end of this year in China. A new leak claims that the device will borrow many of its specs from the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max, which debuted last month in China. However, there is a certain feature that sets it apart from all other premium flagship phones available in the market.

Xiaomi 17 Ultra to feature industry’s largest camera sensor

Xiaomi 17 Ultra leak by DCS

According to the tipster, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra will share several key specifications with the 17 Pro Max, including the display, processor, speakers, vibration motor, and fingerprint sensor. This means that the 17 Ultra will have a 6.9-inch OLED 2K 120Hz display with an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor and the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.

However, the Ultra model will stand out with a distinctive large circular camera design, making it a true imaging flagship. DCS mentions that the device will feature a premium gold color option and emphasizes that its core strength lies in photography. A previous DCS leak claimed that it will also come in shades like black, white, and purple.

The 17 Ultra is expected to come with the largest main camera sensor in the industry and introduce a new generation of periscope telephoto technology, developed exclusively by Xiaomi. The tipster adds that the phone will bring “multiple camera tricks” and employ a new external lens solution, which will reportedly outperform all existing external zoom lens systems currently available.

As per a recent leak, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra will have a 50-megapixel main camera with an enhanced in-sensor zoom technology, and a seamless transition to its telephoto lens for lossless focal range coverage. It could be accompanied by a 50-megapixel Samsung JN5 ultra-wide lens, a 50-megapixel Samsung JN5 telephoto camera, and a 200-megapixel Samsung HPE periscope telephoto camera with 4×4 RMSC technology for lossless zoom across multiple focal lengths and telephoto macro capabilities. For selfies, it may arrive with an OmniVision OV50M 50-megapixel front camera.

While the 17 Ultra may borrow many of its specs from the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max, it may not feature the secondary rear-facing camera. It will have two variants, while both will have UWB (Ultra-Wideband) support, the higher-end variant will feature Tiantong satellite calling and Beidou short message communication.

Moto G100s Launches in China with Huge 7,000mAh Battery for Under $150

Motorola has unveiled the new Moto G100s in China, targeted squarely at budget-conscious buyers. The device features an old mid range Qualcomm Snapdragon chip, a massive flagship level battery, and much more for an attractive price point. So let’s check it out.

New Sub $150 Budget from Motorola Debuts in China

Back in October 2025, Motorola unveiled the Moto G100 in the Chinese market for 1,339 Yuan, which is roughly about 188 US Dollars. But just under a month later, the company has now unveiled the Moto G100s. This newer model brings similar specs and features along with a more affordable price tag. The new G100s also sports a tall 6.72-inch LCD panel with an FHD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, 1050 nits of peak brightness, DC dimming, and hardware level blue light protection.

Motorola Moto G100s

Under the hood, the Moto G100s is equipped with the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 SoC, which is paired with 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage. A gigantic 7,000mAh battery pack powers this device, which supports 30W wired fast charging. For optics, the rear has a 50MP main camera along with an 8MP ultra wide angle lens. Meanwhile, the front houses an 8MP shooter for selfies and video calls, which is a notable downgrade from the 32MP selfie camera on the Moto G100.

Other notable features include an IP64 rating for water and dust resistance, NFC, dual speakers, and a side mounted fingerprint scanner. Motorola just unveiled the G100s in two color options, namely Blue and Black. It is available in two storage configurations with a starting price tag of 999 yuan (roughly $140) for the 8GB + 128GB model. The higher end 8GB + 256GB variant costs 1,099 Yuan (roughly $154).

Moto Edge 70 Teardown: Under the Hood of a 6mm Phone

While teardown videos often reveal the different ways a company has put together their smartphone, things get a bit more interesting when breaking down a super slim phone. The Moto Edge 70 is one such model, and a fresh video has offered us a glimpse of its impressive internals.

What the Moto Edge 70 Teardown Video Reveals

Moto Edge 70
Moto Edge 70

The latest teardown was shared by YouTuber Kingmi Mobile. Looking at this video, we get a full view of the internals of the Moto Edge 70. Among the thin components, two aspects stood out in particular. First, the battery of the Edge 70 takes up a large portion of the internal space, but measures just 3.9mm thick. This cell is around 0.4mm thicker than the battery in the iPhone Air and 0.2mm thicker than Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge.

Second, you get a super thin display that measures just 1mm, which is half as thick as the iPhone Air’s 2mm display panel. Despite the razon thin dimensions, the screen of the Edge 70 offers a 120Hz refresh rate, 4500 nits of peak brightness, a 1.5K resolution, and Corning’s Gorilla Glass 7i for protection. To recall, the Galaxy S25 Edge is powered by a 3,900mAh cell, while the iPhone Air has around a 3,100mAh battery.

So the Motorola Edge 70 impresses with a much larger 4,800mAh battery pack. The YouTuber also found a small but efficient thermal dissipation system, which keeps the internals, like the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 cool. The company just recently unveiled the Moto Edge 70 in Europe, while it debuted in China as the Moto X70 Air.

Galaxy S26 series screen protectors and case leak hint at unified design and a camera island comeback

Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series is still months away, but new leaks are steadily tightening the picture of what the company’s next flagships will look like. The latest clues come from two separate accessories: screen protectors and a protective case. Together, they quietly confirm some of the biggest external design changes Samsung is planning for 2026.

The first leak comes from PhoneArt, who shared what appear to be tempered-glass protectors for the Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra. All three pieces show the same thing: rounded display corners across the lineup. That’s a subtle but notable shift, especially for the Ultra model. On the current Galaxy S25 Ultra, the corners are sharper, giving it a boxier look. With the S26 series, Samsung seems to be pulling everything into a more consistent aesthetic.

The protectors also suggest uniform, extremely thin bezels. Exact measurements aren’t available, so it’s unclear whether these will undercut the S25 series, but the near-symmetrical borders indicate Samsung is at least tightening the visual alignment between the three phones. Any meaningful reduction will only become obvious once real-world comparisons surface.

A second leak offers a closer look at the back of the Ultra model — and this one carries a bigger design twist. A newly surfaced protective case shows the return of a camera island, something Samsung phased out in favor of separate floating lenses on recent models. The case confirms a raised bump housing the three vertically arranged sensors, now ringed with metal accents. Interestingly, the LED flash sits outside the main island, in the same position as the S25 Ultra. Notably, this camera redesign leak isn’t entirely new, but its recurrence certainly adds credibility to it.

Rumors currently point to a late February Unpacked event in San Francisco, expected to center heavily on Samsung’s next wave of Galaxy AI features. With more leaks dropping almost weekly, the S26 series is already shaping up to be one of Samsung’s most visually aligned lineups in years.

Samsung Galaxy A57 Might Be in the Works: Brand’s Next Mid-Range Phone

Samsung might be working on the successor to one of its popular mid range smartphones. The Galaxy A57 was recently spotted, hinting at a new A-series model arriving soon. Samsung’s internal firmware has a model number that could be for the Galaxy A57. So here’s everything you need to know.

Galaxy A57 spotted on Samsung’s Test Server

The South Korean tech giant’s next Galaxy A series phone might be the Galaxy A57. This affordable device just surfaced on the brand’s test server, carrying the SM-A57B model number. It was being tested with its first internal build, A576BXXU0AYJ7/A576BOXM0AYJ7/A576BXXU0AYJ7. A screenshot of the database listing was shared by a user on X. In other words, the Galaxy A57 is likely already in active development..

Samsung Galaxy A56

With the Samsung Galaxy A56 already a strong performer in the segment, the Galaxy A57 is its direct successor. Knowing Samsung, we can expect incremental upgrades instead of major overhauls when talking about the cameras, design, and other aspects. Back in August 2025, the Galaxy A57 was spotted on GeekBench, which is a popular benchmarking platform. One of the biggest details that was revealed in the listing was a new Exynos chip with the S5E8865 model number.

This chip in question could be the Exynos 1680 SoC. But unfortunately, the recent tweet did not reveal any finer details of this smartphone. Although, we can expect some features like a tall AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, around a 5000mAh battery pack, and 45W wired fast charging.

Redmi Turbo 5’s Massive 9000mAh Battery Could Offer Power for Days

Thanks to advancements in battery technology, Chinese smartphone brands have been pushing the limits of battery capacity over the last two years. Now, a latest rumor has revealed that the Redmi Turbo 5 could be one such model that brings days’ worth of power thanks to an absolutely massive battery capacity.

Meet the Redmi Turbo 5: 9000mAh Battery Means Goodbye Battery Woes

While initial rumors had pointed to the Redmi Turbo 5 packing around a 7,500mAh cell, the latest leak from Digital Chat Station hints that the Redmi Turbo 5 could be powered by a massive 9,000mAh battery pack. The previous leak was also from the known tipster on Weibo, so the 9000mAh capacity could be for the higher end model in the Redmi Turb 5 series.

Redmi Turbo 5
Redmi Turbo 5

Even with the 7500mAh cell, the Redmi Turbo 5 features one of the biggest batteries on any smartphone. Current generation flagships are hitting the 7,000mAh+ mark, but these budget high end devices/affordable gaming phones would likely surpass the premium devices. DCS further added that a smartphone with a 10,000mAh battery is also being tested.

Based on what we know so far, the Redmi Turbo 5 will debut with an IP6 rating for water and dust resistance, house an in-display fingerprint scanner, and a metallic middle frame. Under the hood, the Turbo 5 is expected to be equipped with the Dimensity 8500 Ultra SoC. Alongside the impressive battery pack, the smartphone may offer a 100W wired fast charging support as ell. The Redmi Turbo 5 is expected to launch later this month, while the Turbo 5 Pro could debut in early 2026.

DJI Osmo Action 6 tipped to launch globally on November 19 with a variable aperture system

DJI’s product calendar has been unusually busy this quarter, and it looks like the company isn’t slowing down. Fresh rumours now point to a confirmed global launch date for its next action camera — and if the specs hold up, it could be DJI’s biggest imaging upgrade yet.

According to a new report from The New Camera, DJI is planning to unveil the Osmo Action 6 on November 19, placing it just days after the China launch of the DJI Neo 2 drone. The source cites an email allegedly sent to YouTuber PhotoRabz by a DJI “brand insider,” outlining a clear November timeline after what was supposedly an earlier October target. No screenshots or documents have been published, so the claim isn’t fully verifiable — but it does line up with DJI’s recent global rollout pattern.

This comes as DJI continues expanding beyond cameras and drones. The company just launched its first Romo-series robot vacuum internationally, and the Osmo Mobile 8 is expected to move beyond China soon. With multiple product lines in motion, a late-November slot for the Osmo Action 6 doesn’t seem far-fetched.

If the leaks are accurate, the Osmo Action 6 could deliver the most meaningful imaging jump since DJI introduced the Osmo Action 4. The new model is expected to feature a 1/1.1-inch CMOS sensor — larger than both the Action 4 and the Action 5 Pro (currently $349 on Amazon). Even more interesting is a rumored variable aperture system (f/2.0 to f/4.0), a rare feature in the action cam space, potentially giving users much finer control over exposure in bright outdoor scenes or low-light environments.

Video capabilities may also take a leap, with support for 8K recording at 30 fps, all while keeping the starting price at a competitive $329.

If DJI sticks to its usual playbook, an official teaser should drop soon, confirming whether this round of leaks is on target. For now, all signs suggest the Osmo Action 6 could be a major upgrade — and DJI’s next big launch is just around the corner.

This DIY drone flies without a battery

DIY creators often push boundaries with clever hacks and unusual builds, but every now and then someone attempts something that feels almost impossible. A drone that flies without a battery certainly fits that category — yet that’s exactly what a popular DIY engineer has just pulled off.

YouTuber and engineer Luke Maximo Bell has revealed his latest project: a drone powered entirely by solar energy, with no battery, no capacitor, and no backup storage of any kind. The feat comes just days after he and his father Mike Bell attempted to reclaim the Guinness World Record for the fastest drone with their 585 km/h Peregreen 3. This week, Luke shifted gears completely — from extreme speed to extreme efficiency.

To get a battery-free drone in the air, Luke kept the build as light as possible. He used a carbon-fiber frame and propellers, both for strength and to shave unnecessary grams. The star of the build is a long, rigid slat made up of 27 miniature solar panels, wired directly into the drone’s power system. With no storage buffer, every bit of energy needed for lift had to come straight from the sun.

After several adjustments and short test hops, Luke managed to fly the drone around a field. It wasn’t perfect — the drone wobbled whenever a light breeze hit it, and power delivery fluctuated with changes in sunlight — but it flew, powered only by the solar panel array. That alone marks the project as a success.

Looking ahead, Luke says this is just the beginning. He plans to build a more polished version outfitted with additional solar panels, GPS, and autonomous flight software. His ultimate goal: to attempt another Guinness World Record, this time for the longest-flying drone powered purely by the sun.

It may be early days, but the first flight proves the concept works — and hints at what dedicated hobby engineers can achieve with creativity, patience, and a lot of sunlight.

OnePlus 15 lineup to redefine mobile gaming with chip-level performance upgrades

OnePlus is gearing up to enhance the Android gaming experience with a newly unveiled Gaming Technology suite. The information comes from the company itself, which announced that its upcoming OnePlus 15 series will introduce an entirely new gaming framework combining chip-level optimizations, hardware improvements, and intelligent software systems. This development aims to deliver a smoother and more stable experience for mobile gamers when the OnePlus 15 launches in India on Nov. 13.

At the heart of this initiative lies the OP Gaming Core, a self-developed performance framework created with over 20,000 lines of proprietary code and supported by more than 250 patents. This system operates at the foundational level of Android, redistributing computing power to reduce CPU load by over 20 percent and maintaining consistent frame delivery during demanding gameplay. The technology integrates the OnePlus CPU Scheduler, which replaces the standard Completely Fair Scheduler, thereby cutting CPU instructions for key gaming tasks by up to 22.74 percent.

Additionally, the Next-Gen HyperRendering engine reworks the GPU rendering pipeline for an 80 percent gain in per-frame efficiency. By embedding rendering and frame interpolation within the main chipset, OnePlus aims to achieve smoother 120fps gameplay with improved visual fidelity, reduced power draw, and minimal heating.

Complementing the software architecture is the OnePlus Performance Tri-Chip system. It comprises three hardware components: a performance chip based on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 platform, a dedicated touch-response chip supporting up to 3200Hz instantaneous sampling, and a Wi-Fi G2 chip designed to stabilise connectivity in weak signal areas using SmartLink technology.

OnePlus is also introducing OP FPS Max, a high-frame-rate gaming ecosystem built around a 165Hz display and native 165fps support. This system merges chip-level and display-side tuning to deliver smoother gameplay across popular titles, setting a new standard for mobile gaming performance on the OnePlus 15 series.

G-Shock MRG-B2000KT-3A Launches with Titanium Build, Hand-Engraved Phoenix Design, and Emerald Details

Casio has launched the G-Shock MRG-B2000KT-3A in Japan, a new limited-edition model inspired by traditional Japanese sword craftsmanship. Only 800 units will be sold worldwide, each engraved by master metalworker Masao Kobayashi.

G-Shock MRG-B2000KT-3AJR

The design takes cues from the tsuba, the guard between a sword’s blade and handle, known for both protection and decoration. The bezel features a phoenix engraving created using the Shishi-Aibori hammering technique. The phoenix, a long-standing symbol of peace and prosperity, is hand-carved with a hammer and chisel, making each piece unique. The bezel is made of titanium with a green DLC coating that mimics the “kuroganeiro” or black iron color seen in forged steel. Four emeralds, representing wisdom and spiritual strength, are set into the bezel screws for a touch of contrast and depth.

The case carries a unique pattern inspired by “nie,” the crystallized edge pattern seen on tempered swords. It is made by recrystallizing pure titanium and finished with brown AIP coating for hardness and a copper tone. A metal plate marked “2025 LIMITED” is set on the side at 9 o’clock. The dial ring has a gradient finish that fades from red to orange, while the arrow feather design on the dial references the hamaya charm used to ward off evil. These details are created using precision machining at Yamagata Casio.

The dark green Durasoft fluorine rubber strap is durable, soft to the touch, and resistant to discoloration and wear. It features a Bishamon tortoiseshell pattern, a Japanese symbol of strength. The titanium clasp is deep-hardened and treated with the same brown AIP finish for added durability.

The MRG-B2000KT-3A offers 20-bar water resistance, Bluetooth connectivity for automatic time correction, solar power charging, and multi-band radio control compatible with Japan, North America, Europe, and China. Other functions include a Super Illuminator LED light, world time for 300 cities, stopwatch, timer, alarm, and a power-saving feature.

The watch measures 54.7 x 49.8 x 16.9 mm, weighs 138 g, and uses a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating. The case and bezel are made from titanium, and the crown uses a screw-lock structure. It keeps an average monthly accuracy of ±15 seconds when not connected to radio or Bluetooth signals.

Pricing & availability

Casio’s G-Shock MRG-B2000KT-3A will go on sale in Japan in November 2025 for ¥935,000 (about $6,073). Only 800 serial-numbered pieces will be produced worldwide, and Casio is expected to release the model in other regions in the coming weeks. Each watch will come with its serial number and a special edition package.
