A few weeks ago, Honor announced the Magic3 series of smartphones. However, the three flagship phones which are already available for purchase in China are not the only devices Honor has planned to launch to launch this year. The manufacturer is also expected to announce its first foldable smartphone which will launch as the Magic Fold. While we await its release, more details regarding its design have surfaced.
Most of the details about the Magic Fold have come from the leaker that goes by @RODENT950 on Twitter, and this new one is no different. In a tweet posted earlier today, he shared images that give us a glimpse at what the device will look like.
From the images, we can deduce that the Magic Fold will look a lot like the Honor 50 Pro. It will have a pill-shaped punch hole on its flat cover display which has a speaker grille in the frame above it while the rear will have the same pulley-like camera housing with four cameras. The Honor Fold will also copy the Huawei Mate X2’s design by not having a camera in the inner display.
The Honor Magic Fold will have a cover display that is 6.5 inches in size while the inner display will measure 8 inches. It is also expected to come with a Snapdragon 888 Plus processor.
The leaker adds that the Magic Fold will arrive in the fourth quarter of the year.

Earlier this week, Google launched the Pixel 5a 5G exclusively for two markets, namely the US and Japan. A few days from that, the company has now confirmed that it has discontinued the last year’s Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a 5G in its home market.
Google Pixel 5
According to a report by The Verge, a Google spokesperson has revealed that the search giant has discontinued the Pixel 5 and the Pixel 4a 5G in the US. The phones will be sold out in the coming weeks, however, they could be available through some partners while supplies last.
On the other hand, the firm did not say anything about the Pixel 4a. This suggests the device will be on sale alongside the newly unveiled Pixel 5a 5G.
The discontinuation of the Pixel 5 and the Pixel 4a 5G makes sense. Because the latest Pixel 5a 5G is identical to these handsets. The only major thing the new model lacks is wireless charging.
Google Pixel 4a 5G
Having said that, Google is also set to launch the Pixel 6 series powered by an in-house chipset called Tensor this fall. The lineup has been confirmed to include two models, namely Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. Apart from bringing a revamped design and new silicon, they will be also debuting multiple huge camera sensors.
Unfortunately, just like the Pixel 5a 5G, the availability of the Pixel 6 series is said to be limited to select regions. Hence, customers may have to wait a bit longer for the launch of Pixel smartphones in their countries. The last widely available Pixel phones were the Pixel 3A and the Pixel 3A XL.
After launching the Poco X3 GT in few markets last month, the device has now reached the Indonesian market. Some of the major highlights of the smartphone are Dimensity 1100 SoC, 120Hz display, and triple rear cameras.

It can be purchased from Poco’s official website and other authorized retail stores in the region.
Poco X3 GT Specifications
The smartphone comes with a 6.6-inch punch-hole LCD display with a Full-HD+ resolution. The panel has a 120Hz refresh rate and supports the DCI-P3 color gamut. It has a Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection.

For years, Bluetti has been offering one of the best power solutions for home and outdoor activities. The company has now expanded its product portfolio by adding 4 more new members. To be precise, the new products include the all-new AC200 MAX, the one-of-a-kind AC300, and the industry-first battery modules: the 2048Wh B230 and the 3072Wh B300.
The AC200 MAX and B230 battery modules are now available for sale, while the AC300 and B300 will be available a month later on September 15th.
Products and the Specifications
The AC200 MAX Power Station & B230 Battery Module
The popular AC200P has been loved by many for its performance. Bluetti, this time around has made significant improvements and the AC200 MAX is in a sense total upgrade of the AC200P. As for the power it can hold, the MAX is able to hold up to two B230’s or B300 battery modules, connecting of which can boost the total capacity to an amazing 8192Wh! As icing on the cake, it supports 900 watts of solar input, a 28% increase over its predecessor.
Keeping the RV enthusiasts in consideration, the AC200 MAX has a specially designed built-in 30A NEMA TT-30 outlet. Additionally, the power solution supports Bluetooth connectivity and can be controlled wirelessly with the new Bluetti Smartphone App available for both iOS & Android.
Bluetti mentions the AC300 as a raw-power beast. It is entirely modular with the main unit housing the 3000-watt pure sine wave inverter. Needless to say, the power the AC300 can hold is immense. To put in numbers, each AC300 when paired with four 3072Wh B300 battery modules it’ll be able to deliver a tremendous 12,228Wh of capacity!
Making things more interesting, Bluetti with its Fusion Box Pro will let us pair two AC300’s together, boosting the entire system up to 240V, 6000W. Yes, a fully stacked system will deliver 24,576Wh of capacity, that’s enough potential energy to power a home for nearly a week! Amazing to say the least.
Now you might be thinking of what about solar input? Indeed, the AC300 supports 2400W solar input, while the fully stacked version allows for 10,400W.
As per Bluetti the B230 and B300 are “industry-first” innovations happening in modular power products. The peculiarity of the product is that both the B230 and B300 can be charged and discharged as a standalone power module and both feature various DC outlets, including a 100W USB-C, a 12V/10A car output, and some USB-A ports.
Additionally, both battery modules are able to soak up 500W of AC power via an AC to DC adapter. Not to mention the B300 even has its own 200W (MPPT-ready) solar inlet just in case you find your power storage running low the next time you and your friends are out camping off-grid.
Last but not the least, Bluetti also provides DC charging Enhancer referred to as DC Enhancer or Little Magic Box. The Box acts as an enhancement tool for the DC inlets (the DC7909 port for adapter) on the Bluetti units.
The built-in MPPT charge controller with voltage regulator circuits enables the Little Magic Box to ramp up the existing Bluetti products in a variety of additional charging ways. For instance, with the help of our new DC Enhancer, you can now increase the overall capacity of previous Bluetti models like the EB150 and EB240 by connecting the latest Bluetti battery modules or lead-acid batteries. Alternatively, you can even charge it via the 12V/24V cigarette lighter port in your car.
As you may be well aware of the latest products are beast. But that doesn’t make the previous generations worthless. Still, you can have a great deal on previous models as Bluetti is offering a great discount now. To name some;
AC200P is now at $1599 ($400 off)

So, don’t forget to consider Bluetti products if you’re out in the market hunting for a reliable Power System.
Xiaomi may be preparing for the European rollout of the Mi Band 6 NFC, going by details officially provided by the company that the device has been certified in Italy. The Mi Band 6 series was released back in March 2021 in China, and no foreign market has had the NFC version since then.
The two models in the Mi Band 6 series differ only in terms of NFC connectivity. The Mi Band series has often seen a staggered release of the higher model. This was the case with the Mi Smart Band 4 NFC which took about a year for it to be unveiled globally, after the release of the non-NFC version.
The Italian certification most probably indicates that the Mi Band 6 NFC will soon be found in European markets. It may well start with Italy, going by the certification announcement, but would obviously shift to other countries in the region.
The Xiaomi Mi Band 6 NFC is an elegant smart wearable device with an array of impressive features including various sensors for monitoring vital statistics. It is also possible that the Mi Band 6 NFC will support greater functionality than the Mi Smart Band 4 NFC, which also had support for Mastercard bank cards.
As per pricing, it is still unclear what the price of the Mi Band 6 NFC would be. However, it is expected to be higher than that of the Mi Band 6, which is sold for $44 on Amazon. We expect the Xiaomi Mi Band 6 NFC to be pricier than the $44 tag for the non-NFC version of the smart wearable.
A new patent filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office indicates that Apple is developing a removable key that will be part of the accessories of future MacBooks. It could serve as a precision mouse for swift navigation of the display. Aptly termed the Deployable Key Mouse, the patent filing details a description of what the key will look like and its possible performance in a MacBook.
The standard-looking scissor system keyboard of the MacBook will be retained in the new design, but in addition, it features a removable key that is hidden from view. Embedded in the key will be a position sensor that can be used as a pointing device to provide a comfortable, portable, and precise pointer input for the PC.
The new tech device will be a boon for precision tasks like graphic design, computer-assisted design, and modeling, as well as editing documents. These tasks are better served with a hand-held mouse than the conventional trackpad. However, the patent Deployable Key Mouse will serve the purpose of the mouse without adding a piece of visible luggage to the MacBook.
According to the patent document, the new key will be battery-powered and will be located towards the edge of the keyboard in a seemingly hidden area. There are no further indications of whether the key can accomplish several other tasks, although the patent filing does not directly indicate that the product will become a reality. It may just be evidence of future plans which may be modified or totally thrown away before it goes to production. Obviously, whatever the case, the concept of a deployable key for future MacBooks will suit the desires of a segment of Apple customers, especially professionals who desire precision in their tasks.
So you may ask what the benefit of an ISO file is? Well, first, you can clean install Windows 11 on a virtual machine before installing Windows 10 on your system. Second, you can run Windows 11 on pretty much every compatible device just by installing it like early versions of Windows.
You will need to register for the Windows Insider program to download the ISO file for Windows 11. You can head over to Windows Insider’s official website and register yourself for free today.
The ISO file comes with a build number 22000.132. However, the latest version of the operating system is Build 22000.160, so you might need to update your system after installing the ISO file. The new ISO brings a new OOBE (out of box experience), which introduces a new setup processor and the ability to rename your PC during the installation. The new ISO also shows the estimated time left for the software installation.
The new build does miss out on some features. There’s still no support for Android apps, and the Amazon App Store is still missing. However, these features are expected to roll out in the coming months.
The next generation of Windows comes with some compatibility hiccups, which has been a topic of debate for some time now. The major outrage is about the need for having TMP 2.0 supported CPUs, leaving a huge number of old PCs in the dark. Windows 11 is scheduled to release as a free upgrade for every Windows 10 user later this year.
Earlier this year, Sony unveiled the Xperia 10 III with Snapdragon 690 SoC and triple rear cameras. Today, the Japanese tech giant has silently launched its lite version dubbed Sony Xperia 10 III Lite. The device isn’t really a lite model in terms of raw hardware, rather it cuts on some storage and offers eSIM functionality.
The Sony Xperia 10 III Lite comes at a price tag of JPY 46,800(approx. 425 US Dollars). It has Black, White, Pink, and Blue color variants, however, the latter two colors are exclusive to the Rakuten carrier. The smartphone will be available for purchase starting from August 27 in the country.
The smartphone borrows most of the specs from the original Xperia 10 III. It sports a 6-inch OLED display with an FHD+ resolution. It has an aspect ratio of 21:9 and supports HDR. Upfront, it has an 8MP camera for selfies. Moving to the back, the smartphone has a triple camera system. It has a 12MP primary lens, an 8MP telephoto lens, and lastly an 8MP ultra-wide-angle sensor.
Under the hood, the device is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 690 SoC. The major difference between the Lite model and the original Xperia 10 III is the storage. The Lite is limited to 64GB of onboard storage and has 6GB of RAM. It packs a 4,500mAh battery with support for 30W fast charging technology. The device is IP68 dust and water-resistant and has eSIM functionality.
A few days back. Samsung officially announced the Galaxy Z Flip3 and the Galaxy Z Fold3. The handsets bring minor, yet effective upgrades over their predecessors. Now, as the company has opened pre-orders for these smartphones in some counties, it has also revealed the price for their replacement displays.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3
According to a report by The Verge, the replacement screens for the inner foldable displays of the Galaxy Z Flip3 and the Galaxy Z Fold3 cost $369 and $469 respectively in the US. In other words, one can buy a Pixel 5a ($449) for the price of fixing a Galaxy Z Fold3’s broken foldable display.
We know that this comparison is lame but this gives you an idea of how expensive the repair costs are. On the bright side, the replacement screens for the external cover display are cheaper. It costs $99 and $149 for the Galaxy Z Flip3 and the Galaxy Fold3 respectively.
It is worth noting that the above-mentioned prices are only meant for devices that are out of warranty or got damaged by a factor that’s not covered under the warranty period.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3
Customers can subscribe to the Samsung Care Plus plan, which costs $12.99 to save on repair costs. This plan not only gives two more years of warranty but also three screen repairs per year.
Last but not least, Samsung charges $499 and $549 to repair the foldable displays on the Galaxy Z Flip and the Galaxy Z Fold2. This means the company has actually reduced the price for the repairs of its latest foldable smartphones, just like their price tags.
Apple for a long time is preparing for the launch of its next Mini version of the iPad. Allegedly it will be called the Apple iPad mini 6 and it is expected to arrive this fall. Now, an iPad chassis has been spotted in a hands-on video which is said to be of none other than the chassis of the upcoming iPad mini.
According to the video, the purported Apple iPad mini has an upgraded design as compared to the predecessor. It brings thinner bezels and a new camera design to the table. The hands-on video of the chassis showcased that iPad has slim bezels and does not have the Touch ID at the bottom.
This could mean that the upcoming device is skipping the fingerprint ID and is going solely for the Face ID. Interestingly, the tablet has a bigger camera unit. It is similar to what we have seen in the iPhone 13 rumors.
Moreover, the iPad has a weird placement of the volume rocker. The tablet has the volume rocker placed at the top left-hand side, opposite the power button. As per the source, this could be a manufacturing error and it might just have the regular volume button placement.
Apart from this, the iPad mini a.k.a alleged iPad mini 6 appeared in multiple leaks. As of now, we know that the tablet may feature a smaller screen, somewhere between 8.5-inch to 9-inch. The device will come powered by the Apple A15 Bionic chipset and will have support for Apple Pencil.
Instead of a lightning port, the device is expected to have a USB Type-C port for charging. It will run on iPadOS and come in Gold, Silver, and Black colors.
The Chinese electric-scooter market has just welcomed another ultra-affordable and lightweight e-scooter. The Honda U-BE e-scooter, weighing just 54kg and priced at 3,099 yuan ($477), is one of the cheapest electric two-wheelers in the market.
A simple and clean design is adopted in the design and manufacture of the Honda U-BE, which comes just weeks after the company unveiled the U-GO e-scooter, with some excellent features including a removable battery and 1.2kW power hub motor. Unlike the pricier U-GO, the U-BE can only accommodate the driver, as there is no extra room for a passenger. It has a high-quality two-color saddle, and its size makes it a compact model that can be easily parked even in a cramped parking space. Its weight also indicates that it can be easily maneuvered out of a blocked enclosure with little stress.
The Honda U-BE e-scooter has integrated signal lights at the front and rear of the two-wheeler. It also comes with an LCD display that indicates various details like speed, mileage, battery percentage, and other stats.
The unveiling of the U-BE by Wuyang Honda, which is the Chinese two-wheeler arm of Japanese giant Honda, reflects the plans of the company to have a firm footing in the massively expanding market. There are plans underway to also scale up the production of these models for export to other markets in the US and Europe.
The U-BE has a 350W hub motor which offers a top speed of 25kmph, which is not too bad for the city commute. Its price and ability to take its owner to all parts of the city is the key design objective, and Honda hopes that a segment of the demography will embrace the very affordable e-scooter, which is even far cheaper than some mid-range and flagship smartphone models. Three battery options are available for the Honda U-BE and these can offer a driving range between 55km and 80km.

Because vivo’s sub-brand has already launched the iQOO 8 series as its flagship smartphone lineup for the second half of 2021. Hence, the parent company should also release its own.
There have been multiple vivo X70 series rumors in the past few weeks. The top-end vivo X70 Pro+ is even said to have received 3C certification. All of these clearly suggest that the successor of the vivo X60 series is just around the corner.

Design
Both these tablets have a stunning design including a sleek body and a high screen to body ratio. Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Pro and Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 are very thin and lightweight, but the thinnest and most lightweight one is the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7. It also comes with a useful magnetic slot for the S Pen. The tablets support both a stylus and a physical keyboard thanks to which they can transform into mini laptops. But the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 has a more advanced stylus: the S Pen with a low 26 ms latency and Bluetooth support. The Galaxy Tab S7 sports a fingerprint reader (it is mounted on the side), just like Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Pro.
Display
On the paper, the Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Pro has a superior display. The tablet is able to show up to one billion colors on its IPS panel which also offers a 120 Hz refresh rate, the HDR10 certification, and Dolby Vision support. You can get a great viewing experience on streaming platforms, as well as a high 1600p resolution providing a high level of detail. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 has a less impressive display as it does not show one billion colors, but it is still a great LCD panel with a Quad HD+ resolution, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and even the HDR10+ standard improving the image quality on the streaming platforms.
Specs & Software
Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Pro and Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 are flagship-class tablets with flagship hardware departments. They are powered by the Snapdragon 870 and the Snapdragon 865+ mobile platform, respectively, paired with up to 8 GB of RAM. The Snapdragon 870 is actually an upgrade of the Snapdragon 865+, so it is more powerful despite being built with the same production process. But if you mind about the internal storage, you will still choose the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7: indeed, the Samsung tablet offers up to 512 GB of native storage (instead of just 256 GB) which you can furtherly expand thanks to a micro SD slot (the Xiaomi model does not have an expansion slot). On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 ships with Android 10 out of the box, while Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Pro is based on Android 11.
Camera
If you need the tablet with the most advanced camera, you must go for the 5G variant of the Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Pro which provides the camera quality of a mid-range smartphone. It has a great 50 MP main camera and a 5 MP depth sensor. The WiFi version of the tablet, instead, packs a 13 MP dual camera. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 has a 13 MP camera as well, but it adds a useful 5 MP ultrawide sensor instead of a useless depth sensor.
The Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Pro has a bigger battery with a capacity of 8600 mAh and, given that the components are similar, it should offer a longer battery life. Further, it supports a faster charging technology with a power of 67W, while Galaxy Tab S7 stops at 45W.
Price
Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Pro is priced at about €330/$385 in China, while the global price of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 is €700/$818. The Mi Pad 5 Pro is yet to go global, but we can tell you from now that it will be a better choice on its price range.
