UGREEN has introduced its new Studio Pro headphones, featuring active noise cancellation, Hi-Res audio support, and an extended 120-hour battery life.
The Studio Pro uses adaptive hybrid ANC that cuts ambient noise by up to 48dB, blocking out about 97 percent of background sound. A built-in chip analyzes surrounding noise 375,000 times per second and automatically adjusts the cancellation level. There’s also a wind noise suppression mode that detects and reduces wind interference during outdoor use, making it suitable for travel, commutes, or calls on the move.
For sound, the headphones include a four-driver setup with a 40mm woofer and a 12mm tweeter on each side, delivering strong bass, balanced mids, and clear treble. They are Hi-Res certified and support the LDAC codec for high-resolution wireless playback at up to 96kHz/24-bit and 990Kbps. UGREEN says this results in up to three times more sound detail than standard codecs like AAC or SBC. Through the UGREEN app, users can adjust sound profiles using eight EQ presets, select different sound effects, and enable spatial audio for an immersive 3D experience.
Battery life is one of the main highlights. The Studio Pro delivers up to 120 hours of playback with ANC off or 80 hours with ANC on. A 10-minute charge adds around five hours of use. The headphones support both Bluetooth and 3.5mm wired connections and can connect to two devices at once, allowing quick switching between, for example, a phone and a laptop. The Studio Pro has a foldable, lightweight design with memory foam ear cushions and a soft protein leather cover for comfort during long listening sessions.
Pricing & availability
UGREEN’s Studio Pro headphones are now available on Amazon Germany for €59.99, with a 20 percent discount coupon reducing the price to €48 until October 19.

The unit uses a seven-layer composite filter structure. This includes an initial dust filter, antibacterial coating, high-density formaldehyde layer, nano-scale filtration layer, activated carbon layer, a special compound layer for breaking down formaldehyde, and an ultraviolet sterilization module.
Xiaomi claims this system can remove up to 99% of formaldehyde and 99.99% of H1N1 viruses within one hour. It can also eliminate over 98% of allergens such as pollen and dust mites.
The purifier includes six sensors that detect PM1, PM2.5, dust levels, formaldehyde concentration, temperature, and humidity. These readings appear on an LCD screen, which displays real-time air quality data and changes in visual graph formats.
Xiaomi has integrated the purifier with HyperOS and the Mijia app, allowing remote control and real-time air quality monitoring. It also supports Xiao Ai voice commands for hands-free operation. The sleep mode keeps noise as low as 31.6 dB(A), ideal for quiet nighttime use.

This model differs significantly from the global version, the Mijia Smart Air Purifier 6, which features a single filter and a lower CADR of 218 m³/h. The global model is intended for general air cleaning in standard home environments, while the Dual-Core model focuses on stronger purification in homes with higher pollutant levels.

Xiaomi unveiled the Mix Flip 2, a flip-style foldable phone, and the Civi 5 Pro earlier this year in China. Early reports suggested that both devices, with the latter getting rebranded as the Xiaomi 15 Civi, might hit the global market. While the brand has recently launched the Xiaomi 15T series flagship phone for the global market, there has been no official update about the Mix Flip 2 and 15 Civi’s global arrival, suggesting that these devices might have been cancelled for wider release. Now, a new leak suggests that the Xiaomi Mix Flip 3 and Civi 6, expected to launch next year, may have already been cancelled.
Xiaomi Mix 3, Civi 6 may not launch in 2026
Xiaomi Mix 3, Civi 6 may not launch in 2026
A well-known Chinese tipster has hinted that one of the smartphone brands’ small foldable phones and a mid-range model may not see a new generation in 2026. According to the post, the sales performance of the current versions has not been satisfactory, leading Xiaomi to pause its development for one generation.
This tipster is mainly known for sharing updates about upcoming Honor phones. However, the discussion in the comments section of the Weibo post suggests that he could be referring to Xiaomi.
While the tipster didn’t mention specific model names, it is being speculated that the devices in question could be the Xiaomi Mix Flip 3 and the Xiaomi Civi 6, both of which were originally expected to debut in 2026. The Mix Flip 2, Xiaomi’s first vertical foldable, reportedly did not achieve strong sales despite its premium design and competitive pricing, while the Civi 5 also struggled to gain significant market share in the mid-range segment.
This development is surprising as the alleged Xiaomi Mix Flip 3, with model numbers 2603APX0AC / 2603EPX2DC, was spotted in the IMEI database in July this year. Readers are advised to wait for further information regarding the fate of the Mix Flip 3 and Civi 6.
To recall, Xiaomi unveiled the book-style foldable, the Mix Fold 4 last year in China but skipped the Mix Fold 5 this year. A recent IMEI database sighting revealed that Xiaomi may launch a book-style foldable in 2026, possibly under the Xiaomi 17 Fold name instead of Mix Fold 6.

In this review, we have a very interesting rugged phone here. It is the DOOGEE V Max Play, that comes with a projector. It has been so long since I dreamed about watching a movie with a phone, maybe at a camping site or somewhere out there. In this review, we will mostly focus on the projector part, then other things. And if you are interested in this one, you can check it out here with DOOGEE’s exclusive offer – $100 off with a complimentary Bluetooth Speaker gift, end on Nov.11. Or just visit the brand’s Amazon store and remember to use the 20% off code! – HVWC4VU2
Projector
First, let’s talk specs. The projector LED type, it can offer a 480P resolution, with autofocus. And there is a 130dB super loud speaker, for the sound source. To support such a power eater, it has a 20500mAh battery. And there are heat vents next to the beam and the frame of the phone. That’s it, a pocket-size projector/rugged phone.
I know you might say 480P is not that high compare to big projectors, but I must say it is already a genius idea to have it on a phone. Based on multiple tests, within about 2.8-meters range, the projection works fine, the brightness is ranging from 93-137 lumen as we tested, the image quality is fine. I am surprised to find that there is autofocus and auto keystone correction, meaning whenever you move the phone, the image will be corrected fairly fast.
The speaker is at the bottom of the back, when I first got the phone, I thought the vents are the speakers. So as we measured it, it can produce about 120db of sound, definitely much bigger than regular smartphones. Paired with the projector, it can deliver very good experience.
When it comes to the content source, it can project the whatever content on the screen. If you have good network, then any video from the social media can be used. Or you can have pre-downloaded content in the phone, then use those.
There is an App for it, you can turn the projector on or off, and change the brightness and autofocus sensitivity. Along with some other settings. I would recommend setting the autofocus sensitivity lower if you are at home, and high if you are outdoors, as the table might not be quite even out there. And then the screen off in a few mins, to save battery.
StartEnd
We also tested the power consumption and temperature, with the max brightness and max volume, it turns out that it takes about 12% of battery for a 30mins of play. Which means, you can pretty much watch a 2hrs of film for 2 times. And the max temp is of course from the projector, it is 54 degree Celsius maximum, a good temp control.
There will be a lot of accessories to go with this phone, such as PU pouch, phone case, or magnetic tripod, speaker, etc.
Other Highlights
For the cameras, there are triple camera setup at the back, and one camera at the front. It has a 200MP Main Camera, 8MP wide-angle and macro lens, and a 20MP night vision camera at the back. For the real camera capability, here are some photos I took.
The front camera is 32MP, it can also take some good photos.
The next highlight is the camping lights on this phone. There are two LED light panels at the back, they can produce maximum 1200Luman of light. You can tweak the level in the setting, ranging from 20% to 100%. And there are three modes to choose from, to be used in different situations. This could be very useful when you camp outdoors.
There are also two light strips besides the LED panels. These are for notifications, like calls, messages, or music play.
Specs
For other hardware, it comes with Dimensity 7300, a 4nm octa-core processor. With the Android 15 on board, it can basically run day-to-day Apps very well. And since it is a stock Android, some original features are here, like Gemini AI, and facial correction in group photos, Dynamic window. Along with some classic rugged phone features, like the outdoor toolbox, and hotkeys at the side.
The battery is 20500mAh, which is massive, but it might be consumed faster than other rugged phones, as there are two big consumers here, the projector and the LED light panels.
Lastly, I want to get a touch on the design, DOOGEE calls it fighter jet inspired, I can see that, and it is good looking. One other detail is the curve of the back, it is very comfortable.
Summary
This is the DOOGEE V Max Play, a rugged phone with an LED projector built in. I can understand why, because a rugged phone can be bulky, so a projector module can fit in there. And the battery is massive, it can support such power consumption. So why not? Then there are also some other notable features like the LED light panels, and the massive speaker. All these make it a well-rounded and innovative rugged phone, and I am sure some of you will want it.
For those who are interested in learning more about the projector phone, here is the info page and also for official purchase.

The molded foam maintains its shape, and the mesh backrest resists sagging. All adjustable components, including the pneumatic lift and recline mechanisms, are designed for long-term use.
Pricing and Availability
The Elgato Embrace is priced at €499.99 and will go on sale later this holiday season. It’s already listed on Elgato’s official website.
In related gaming chair news, DXRacer has recently introduced the Martian-Pro gaming chair, while Lenovo has unveiled the Legion C7 Pro featuring pneumatic lumbar support and a Class-4 gas lift.

Xiaomi just had one of its best weeks in China. During China’s National Day Golden Week, from September 29 to October 5, the company surpassed Apple to become the top-selling smartphone brand in China, taking a 21.2% market share.
According to local sales data, the top five smartphone brands during the holiday period were Xiaomi, Apple, Vivo, Oppo, and Huawei. Apple came in second with a 16.30% share, while Vivo captured 15.90%.
Xiaomi President Lu Weibing recently said cumulative sales of the Xiaomi 17 series have crossed 1 million units within days of launch. That’s 20% higher than the previous generation during the same timeframe.
Much of the credit for this success goes to the Pro models. Well-known industry blogger Digital Chat Station reported that combined sales of the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max and 17 Pro have already topped 800,000 units.
Meanwhile, the standard Xiaomi 17 hasn’t matched the popularity of its higher-tier siblings. Sales reportedly reached around 194,000 units for it.
One standout feature driving sales of the Pro models is undoubtedly the back screen. Lu Weibing mentioned that Xiaomi invested heavily in this dual-screen setup, saying the cost of development alone was roughly 1 billion yuan. He also hinted that while competitors might try to replicate the idea, few would be willing to spend that much.
While the devices are enjoying strong success in China, they won’t make their way to the global market until next year. Even then, the Xiaomi 17 Pro is expected to remain exclusive to China.
