Honor has officially introduced a new tablet aimed at students and note-taking users. Called the Honor Pad 20, the device was announced by Honor’s all-scenario product division earlier today alongside a series of teaser images showing off the design and color options.
Visually, the tablet keeps things fairly clean and lightweight. The back features a small circular camera module, and Honor is offering the device in a few brighter finishes including Vibrant Pink, Forest Green, and a gray variant. It’s clearly targeting a younger audience rather than going for the usual all-business tablet look.
Honor says the Pad 20 uses a 12.1″ 3K “full-color paper-like” screen, designed to make handwriting and stylus input feel closer to writing on actual paper. Companies have been experimenting with this sort of textured display coating for a while now, especially on productivity-focused tablets, and Honor seems to be leaning heavily into that idea here. There’s also a Soft Light version of the tablet focused on reducing glare and improving eye comfort during longer study or reading sessions.
On the software side, Honor is mentioning several AI-powered learning tools as part of the package, including features aimed at exam preparation and note organization. The overall direction seems pretty clear: this is meant to be a study-focused tablet first.
The tablet has already appeared on the company’s official website with a few key specifications confirmed. The listing mentions a Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset, and a 10,100mAh battery with 45W wired charging. Configurations include 8GB RAM paired with either 128GB or 256GB storage.
Pre-orders have already gone live in China through platforms like JD.com, which usually means the official release isn’t very far away. The Pad 20 already feels like Honor refining a formula that has been working fairly well for the company lately: large displays, lightweight designs, and features aimed directly at students and younger users rather than pure flagship performance.
Samsung has officially introduced its Certified Re-Newed program in India, bringing refurbished Galaxy smartphones to buyers looking for premium devices at relatively lower prices. The company-backed initiative includes flagship and mid-range Galaxy models that undergo refurbishment and testing before being resold with an official warranty.
Samsung’s refurbished Galaxy phone program arrives in India
Refurbished Samsung phones now officially available in India
Under the new Certified Re-Newed program, Samsung is offering the following refurbished smartphones:
Samsung says all Certified Re-Newed devices go through detailed inspection, cleaning, testing, and software validation at authorised facilities. The phones are restored using genuine Samsung parts wherever replacements are needed. Each unit is also reset to erase previous user data and updated with the latest available software before sale.
The company is packaging the devices in new boxes along with accessories such as a USB cable, SIM ejector tool, and quick-start guide. Samsung is also providing a one-year manufacturer warranty, similar to what buyers receive with new Galaxy smartphones. According to the company, the program is intended to make premium Galaxy devices more accessible while supporting longer product lifecycles.
While the program adds an official and more trustworthy route for buying refurbished Samsung phones in India, pricing may become an important factor for buyers. Some of the refurbished Galaxy devices are currently listed close to the pricing of brand-new units available through online marketplaces and offline retailers during sales and promotions.
This could make the value proposition less attractive for certain buyers, especially when discounts on new phones are available. However, Samsung’s official refurbishment process and warranty support may still appeal to users looking for added peace of mind over third-party refurbished options.

Dreame has introduced a new hair dryer to its lineup, the Pocket P10 Cake, in the Chinese market. Priced at 599 yuan ($88), the device is designed primarily around portability and combining standard hair drying with an automated hair oiling system.
Dreame is offering the device in five pastel, dessert-themed colors: Tiramisu Brown, Peach Mochi Pink, Mint Puff Blue, Lemon Parfait Yellow, and Grape Mousse Purple.
Dreame Pocket P10 Cake Specifications
Physically, the P10 Cake is built for travel and small spaces. It weighs around 300 grams and features a 180-degree folding hinge. When collapsed, the dryer is roughly the size of a smartphone, which makes it practical for packing into a gym bag, a carry-on suitcase, or storing in a small bathroom cabinet.
In terms of hardware, the dryer uses a 110,000 RPM motor that generates wind speeds of up to 70 meters per second. According to the manufacturer, this airflow can dry short hair in about 40 seconds, shoulder-length hair in two minutes, and long hair in roughly four minutes.
To manage the heat, it includes an NTC temperature control system. This sensor checks the air temperature 300 times per second to maintain a consistent heat level and prevent accidental heat damage to the hair during use.
The P10 Cake also comes with an integrated hair oil dispenser. Instead of requiring users to apply serums by hand after drying, the device uses a specific nozzle with a refillable capsule chamber.
As the dryer runs, it distributes a scented hair oil, made with camellia seed, jojoba seed, and grape seed oils, directly into the airflow to coat the hair evenly. Each color version comes with a matching scent. Additionally, a built-in negative ion system releases 300 million ions to help reduce frizz and smooth the hair cuticles.
For basic operation, the dryer offers two wind speed settings and four heat modes, including hot and cold air options. It also has a detachable rear cover so users can clean out trapped dust, and a curved handle for a more comfortable grip.
In related news, Dreame has recently unveiled the F20 air fryer with 360-degree hot air cooking for around $45, while the Dreame H70 Ultra Station arrives with 28,000Pa suction and 200°C steam cleaning support.

SanDisk has partnered with Crayola to release a line of USB-C flash drives designed to look exactly like standard wax crayons. After initially launching globally last year, the officially licensed drives are now making their way to India. They are aimed primarily at students, teachers, and anyone who wants a storage device that doesn’t look like a plain metal or plastic rectangle.
SanDisk Crayola Flash Drive Specifications
From a design perspective, the drive closely mimics the classic Crayola wrapper, complete with the familiar wavy black borders and recognizable font. Pulling off the tip of the crayon reveals a standard USB-C connector. In India, SanDisk is offering the drive in three distinct colors: Mango Tango, Cerulean Blue, and Electric Lime.
Underneath the colorful plastic casing, it is a standard, capable storage drive. It uses a USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface, and SanDisk states it can reach read speeds of up to 300 MB/s. That is fast enough for its intended use case, moving homework assignments, PDFs, photos, and standard media files between laptops, Chromebooks, and iPads. The choice to go exclusively with USB-C rather than the older USB-A standard makes sense here, given that most modern tablets and laptops used in education today rely entirely on USB-C ports.
SanDisk also added a few minor software touches to lean into the theme. When you plug the drive into a desktop computer, it mounts with a custom Crayola icon in the file manager rather than a generic external drive logo. It also supports SanDisk’s Memory Zone app for basic file management and backups.
Because the product is heavily targeted at younger users and their parents, each drive comes bundled with a three-month subscription to the Crayola Create & Play app, alongside access to printable activity sheets. However, SanDisk explicitly notes that the drive is not a toy and includes a standard choking hazard warning for children under three years old due to the small, removable cap.
Pricing and Availability
The SanDisk Crayola USB-C Flash Drive is available now on Amazon India. The base 64GB model costs Rs. 2,769, the 128GB version is Rs. 3,939, and the highest-capacity 256GB model is priced at Rs. 6,029. All three storage tiers come with a five-year limited warranty.
In related news, SanDisk has recently launched a new 1TB portable SSD that delivers read speeds of up to 600MB/s.

Tecno looks ready to add another model to its Camon lineup. A new device called the Tecno Camon Slim has now appeared across multiple certification platforms, including FCC filings and Tecno’s own Carlcare service database, revealing some early hardware details ahead of launch. The phone carries the model number CN6c and appears to come with 8GB RAM alongside either 128GB or 256GB storage depending on the version.
But the bigger talking point is probably the battery. According to the FCC listing, the Camon Slim uses a battery identified as BL-68DX with a typical capacity of 7000mAh and a rated capacity of 6840mAh. That’s unusually large for a phone that’s apparently being positioned around slimness and design. The same certification also confirms support for 60W wired charging through Tecno’s U600TSA power adapter.
At the same time, things get slightly more complicated depending on the region. A separate TÜV Rheinland certification mentions smaller battery variants rated at 5800mAh and 5430mAh for certain markets, including parts of Europe and Saudi Arabia. So Tecno may end up shipping different battery sizes depending on local regulations or design priorities.
FCC schematics also reveal part of the design. The rear camera setup appears to use a horizontal pill-shaped module with two camera sensors, somewhat similar to the look Tecno used on the Spark Slim. NFC support is also confirmed through the filing, alongside dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LTE support, and likely 5G connectivity as well.
As for the rest of the hardware, earlier leaks suggest the phone could use MediaTek’s Dimensity 7100 chip paired with a 6.78-inch AMOLED display and Android 16 running underneath HiOS 16.
At this point, pricing and launch timing still haven’t been officially revealed. But with FCC and TÜV certifications already in place, the announcement probably isn’t too far away now. And honestly, if Tecno really manages to fit a 7000mAh battery into a genuinely slim chassis, that alone could end up being the phone’s biggest selling point.
The mid-range smartphone segment is becoming more competitive than ever, and the OnePlus Nord 6 vs Nothing Phone (4a) comparison perfectly shows why.

OnePlus Nord 6 and Nothing Phone (4a) approach design very differently. OnePlus focuses on durability and aggressive flagship-style hardware, offering IP68/IP69K protection along with MIL-STD-810H certification. It feels more practical for users who want a device that can survive rougher daily usage. The plastic back keeps the phone lighter in hand despite the massive battery inside, while the flat-frame styling gives it a modern, premium appearance.
Nothing Phone (4a) leans more toward visual personality. Its transparent-inspired design language, mini-LED glyph system, and glass back create a cleaner and more distinctive look. It feels more lifestyle-oriented and immediately stands out in a crowded mid-range segment. The phone does not offer the same water resistance level as the Nord 6, but the overall finish looks more premium.
Display Quality
Both devices use AMOLED panels with HDR10+ and strong peak brightness figures, but the Nord 6 clearly pushes harder on display hardware. Its 165Hz refresh rate makes scrolling and gaming feel exceptionally fluid, while the Snapdragon platform can better sustain high refresh gaming. The Nothing Phone (4a) counters with stronger peak brightness and slightly more natural tuning, which may feel easier on the eyes during media consumption.
Verdict
OnePlus Nord 6 is the stronger option for durability, gaming visuals, and smoother responsiveness. The Nothing Phone (4a) feels more stylish and unique, especially for users who value design identity over raw hardware advantage.
2. Specifications Including Battery
Performance
Performance is one of the biggest differences between these two devices. OnePlus Nord 6 uses the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset paired with UFS 4.1 storage, delivering near-flagship power. Gaming, multitasking, and long-term performance stability are noticeably stronger here. Heavy applications load faster, and the 165Hz panel complements the powerful GPU particularly well. It feels closer to a premium flagship than a traditional Nord-series phone.
Nothing Phone (4a) uses the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 with UFS 3.1 storage. Daily performance remains smooth for social media, casual gaming, and multitasking, but it lacks the raw speed and sustained gaming power of the Nord 6. Nothing OS remains one of the cleaner Android skins, though, which helps the phone feel optimized in normal usage.
Battery and Charging
Battery capacity heavily favors the Nord 6, especially in India where it ships with a massive 9000mAh battery. Even the global variant’s 7500mAh unit is significantly larger than the Nothing Phone (4a)’s 5400mAh Indian model. Combined with 80W charging and bypass charging support, the Nord 6 clearly targets power users and gamers. The Nothing device still offers respectable endurance with decent 50W charging, but it prioritizes balance rather than extreme battery life.
Verdict
OnePlus Nord 6 dominates in raw performance and battery endurance. The Nothing Phone (4a) feels smoother than expected thanks to software optimization, but users focused on gaming, longevity, and heavy usage will find the Nord 6 far more capable.
3. Camera
Main and Secondary Lenses
camera philosophies are very different here. The OnePlus Nord 6 keeps things simple with a 50MP primary camera and an 8MP ultrawide lens. The main sensor should deliver reliable daylight shots with good stabilization and balanced colors, while 4K 60fps recording gives it decent video flexibility. However, the secondary camera setup feels more functional than exciting.
Nothing Phone (4a) is much more ambitious in photography. Alongside the 50MP primary camera, it adds a 50MP periscope telephoto lens with 3.5x optical zoom. This instantly gives it an advantage for portraits and long-range photography, something rarely seen in this segment. Dolby Vision HDR recording also adds a more premium video experience. The ultrawide sensor is similar to the Nord 6 on paper, but the telephoto camera changes the overall versatility completely.
Selfie Camera
Both phones use 32MP selfie cameras, but the Nord 6 supports 4K selfie video recording, making it more suitable for creators and video-focused users. The Nothing Phone (4a) limits selfie video to 1080p, though its image processing may appeal to users preferring softer and more natural skin tones.
Verdict
Nothing Phone (4a) is the more versatile photography phone because of its periscope zoom camera and stronger video features. The Nord 6 counters with better selfie video capabilities and more dependable processing performance during heavy camera use.
4. Pricing
OnePlus Nord 6 is expected to cost around $460 or ₹39,000, while the Nothing Phone (4a) sits lower at roughly $400 or ₹32,000. That price gap creates two very different value propositions. The Nord 6 asks for more money, but it also delivers significantly stronger hardware in areas like chipset performance, display refresh rate, charging speed, and battery capacity. For users who keep phones for several years or regularly play demanding games, the extra cost feels justified.
Nothing Phone (4a), meanwhile, focuses on offering a more balanced and stylish experience at a lower entry price. The inclusion of a periscope telephoto camera at this price point makes it especially attractive for photography enthusiasts. Its software design and unique LED interface also give it a personality that many competitors lack.
Verdict
OnePlus Nord 6 offers stronger hardware value for power users, while the Nothing Phone (4a) provides better lifestyle appeal and camera versatility for the price. The better value depends heavily on whether performance or overall experience matters more.
Disclaimer: Prices are approximate and may vary based on country, region, launch timing, and applicable taxes. Always check whether the listed price is for a China unit or a global/international variant when purchasing.
5. Conclusion
OnePlus Nord 6 feels designed for users who want maximum specifications without stepping into true flagship pricing. Its enormous battery, flagship-grade Snapdragon chipset, 165Hz AMOLED display, and aggressive charging speeds make it one of the most performance-focused phones in its category. Features like bypass charging and advanced water resistance further strengthen its appeal for gamers and heavy users.
Nothing Phone (4a) takes a different route by emphasizing personality and camera versatility. The glyph lighting system, cleaner software experience, and periscope telephoto camera help it stand apart from typical mid-range Android devices. It feels more refined in daily lifestyle usage rather than purely benchmark-driven.
Verdict
OnePlus Nord 6 is the better choice for users prioritizing gaming, battery life, and long-term performance. The Nothing Phone (4a) is the more stylish and photography-focused option with a stronger sense of identity. Both phones target different audiences successfully, which makes this comparison more about preference than outright superiority.
Disclaimer: This comparison is based on the specifications provided and is intended for general informational purposes. Actual performance, camera results, battery life, and overall experience may vary depending on real-world usage, software updates, and individual preferences.

Oppo has found itself at the centre of a major controversy in China following a Mother’s Day campaign linked to the Oppo Find X9 Ultra. What appeared to be an attempt to portray modern mothers with different personalities and interests quickly turned into a social media storm, forcing the company to issue multiple public apologies.
Oppo’s Mother’s Day campaign sparks backlash
Oppo Mother’s Day campaign poster with controversial Chinese text
The controversy began after Oppo shared a promotional poster as part of its “Rewrite My Mom with the Lens” campaign. One particular line in the campaign drew strong criticism online. The Chinese text roughly translated to: “My mom has two ‘husbands’. One is my dad, and the other I see twice a year. She barely dresses up for dates with my dad, but for the other one she can’t wait to wear a wedding dress.”
While the wording sounded controversial to many readers, the intended meaning was reportedly tied to Chinese fan culture. The “other husband” was not meant literally, but referred to a celebrity idol admired by the mother. The “twice a year” reference pointed toward concerts or fan meet appearances. The campaign poster itself showed a woman holding a concert light stick outside what appeared to be a venue, suggesting Oppo wanted to highlight that mothers can still enjoy hobbies, fandoms, and personal passions.
However, many social media users felt the wording was inappropriate for a Mother’s Day campaign and criticised the brand for being insensitive toward family values. The backlash quickly spread across Weibo, with several users calling the campaign vulgar and tone-deaf.
Oppo issues apology after criticism
Oppo’s apology statement on Weibo after campaign backlash
In response, Oppo published an apology on its official Weibo account, admitting that the campaign content and the company’s handling of the issue reflected poor judgement. The company said it had removed all related promotional material and promised to review its content approval process more carefully in the future. Oppo later followed it up with another apology statement as criticism continued online.
Marketing controversies are not unusual in the tech industry, but Oppo’s decision to publicly acknowledge the mistake and respond quickly has also drawn attention.
What do you think about the campaign and Oppo’s response to the backlash?

RedMagic’s next gaming flagship is already showing up in benchmarks ahead of launch, and the numbers are pretty wild. A new Geekbench 6 listing believed to belong to the upcoming RedMagic 11S Pro+ has reportedly crossed the 4000-point mark in single-core performance, something that, according to Chinese blogger @肥威, no Android phone had legitimately managed before on the platform.
Multiple Geekbench 6 listings for the device surfaced on May 10 under the model number nubia NX809J. One particular entry reportedly crossed the 4000-point mark in single-core performance, scoring around 4010 points before later disappearing from the database. Even so, several remaining listings still show extremely high scores in the 3900+ range for single-core performance, alongside even stronger multi-core results exceeding 12,000 points in some cases. Altogether, the benchmark results line up pretty closely with RedMagic’s continued focus on aggressive performance tuning and overclocking.
NX809J Geekbench listingsiPhone 17 Pro Max Geekbench listings
RedMagic recently talked about its overclocking process and how it selects the “best of the best” Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chips, which could explain the jump in peak performance. In simple terms, the company claims to be cherry-picking the strongest chips it can get. There’s also another interesting detail here: instead of the usual Qualcomm ARMv8 labeling, the benchmark references a “QTI SM8850 3628 MHz (8 cores)” configuration.
Of course, raw clock speed only matters if the phone can actually sustain it without overheating. That’s where RedMagic’s cooling setup comes in. The 11S Pro+ is expected to feature an upgraded active cooling fan alongside vapor chamber and liquid-cooling-style thermal systems, continuing the company’s usual approach of prioritizing performance above almost everything else.
There’s also mention of RedMagic’s custom Redcore R4 gaming chip and the latest version of its CUBE Sky Gaming Engine. According to teaser material, the phone can supposedly run more than 200 games at up to 2K resolution and 144fps while simultaneously using frame interpolation and resolution upscaling.
The full RedMagic 11S Pro series is scheduled to launch in China on May 18, where the company is also expected to announce a new gaming tablet.
Samsung Display may already be experimenting with what comes after today’s smartphone screens, and if a new leak is accurate, the company is looking far beyond foldables this time.
According to information shared by leaker Schrödinger, also known as phonefuturist on X, Samsung is currently researching a holographic display system internally under the codename MH1 or simply H1. The long-term idea reportedly involves a future “Spatial iPhone,” with Apple being mentioned as a possible customer for the technology down the line.
At the moment, though, this sounds very early. The leak claims the display uses a combination of a nano-structured holographic layer, eye-tracking, and beam-steering technology to create a glasses-free 3D effect directly on the screen. In theory, users would be able to slightly move or tilt the phone and view objects from different angles, almost like looking around them rather than just at a flat image.
Apparently, the system would still preserve full resolution during normal 2D use, which is important because older glasses-free 3D attempts usually came with pretty noticeable compromises in image quality. And honestly, that’s probably the biggest challenge here.
The smartphone industry has experimented with glasses-free 3D before, but most implementations ended up feeling gimmicky or difficult to use consistently. Devices like the Nintendo 3DS worked, but only within a narrow viewing angle, and the effect could break pretty easily if your eyes shifted too far off-center. Samsung’s reported beam-steering approach is supposedly meant to solve some of those limitations by directing light much more precisely toward the viewer’s eyes.
Still, the project is reportedly only in the first phase of research and development. Even the original leak suggests commercialization likely wouldn’t happen any time soon, assuming the technology actually reaches mass production at all.
That said, Samsung Display has a pretty strong history when it comes to pushing new panel technologies into the mainstream. The company played a major role in foldable OLED adoption and has already experimented with glasses-free 3D monitors and spatial displays in other categories. More recently, Samsung introduced hardware-level viewing angle control technology with the Galaxy S26 Ultra, and similar implementations are reportedly expected to appear in flagship phones from Xiaomi, Oppo, and Vivo later this year.
If something like MH1 eventually becomes real, it could open the door to much more immersive interfaces on phones, whether that’s floating UI elements, spatial gaming, or deeper integration with mixed reality ecosystems like Apple’s Vision Pro.
Recently, Huawei unveiled the Pura X Max with a wide foldable design. Speculation is also rife that Samsung may unveil a similar device alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8 in July this year. Apple is reportedly working on its first foldable phone, possibly called the iPhone Ultra, which may break cover in September this year. Fresh reports suggest a few more brands are also preparing to launch wide foldable phones in the coming years.
Vivo’s wide foldable phone is in development
As seen in the above leak, tipster Smart Pikachu claims that the upcoming Vivo X Fold 6 is expected to bring noticeable improvements to its crease performance. He added that users who prefer large foldable smartphones should keep an eye on the device, as the display crease has reportedly seen major refinements compared to previous generations.
The leak also suggests that Vivo may gradually shift its foldable lineup toward wider “book-style” foldable designs going forward. However, there is currently no clarity on whether such a device will debut this year.
Honor’s wide foldable phone design tipped
According to tipster Guan Tongxue GiM, Honor has been working on a wide foldable phone for a long time. While he did not share any technical details about the device, his post included an image revealing the possible design.
The device appears to feature a triple-camera setup and a secondary screen on the back, along with a wider form factor. When unfolded, it may offer a tablet-like display experience in horizontal orientation. As for the launch timeline, reports suggest that the device may not arrive until Q1 2027.

According to a new leak shared by tipster Digital Chat Station, the alleged Oppo Find X10 Pro Max could arrive with some of the most ambitious camera hardware seen on a flagship smartphone. The leak claims the device is currently being tested with a 200-megapixel primary camera featuring a massive 1/1.3-inch sensor, paired with a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera using a large 1/1.28-inch sensor. As per a previous leak from the same source, the phone may use Samsung’s upcoming HPC sensor.
Oppo is also said to be considering two ultra-wide camera options, including a 200-megapixel sensor with a 1/1.56-inch size or a smaller 50-megapixel 1/2.75-inch sensor. The setup is also said to include a 3-megapixel multispectral sensor.
The leak further reveals that Oppo is internally evaluating multiple display and camera configurations for the device. One of the test variants reportedly features a 6.89-inch 2K LTPO flat display, while another version may use a slightly smaller 6.78-inch 1.5K LTPO panel.
Powering the device could be MediaTek’s upcoming 2nm Dimensity flagship chipset. According to rumors, the chip is tentatively called the Dimensity 9600 Pro. As far as Find X10 Pro and Find X10 are concerned, these could be powered by the Dimensity 9600 and Dimensity 9500 Plus, respectively.

Casio recently brought a new batch of vintage-inspired watches to the US market. The AQ-240E series, which first appeared in online listings last month, is now officially available for purchase. There are three specific models in this lineup: the AQ240E-2A, AQ240E-4A, and AQ240E-7A2, each priced at $69.95.
Design Details
If the design looks familiar, that’s because these watches are essentially an updated take on the older, popular AQ-230 line. Casio kept the recognizable rectangular shape but smoothed out the edges on the case and bezel so it doesn’t look quite as sharp or boxy.
They come with a standard stainless steel band featuring horizontal links, and the clasp is self-adjustable. It is a straightforward, unisex design that doesn’t draw too much attention to itself.
The main difference between the three new models comes down to the dial colors and finishes. The AQ240E-2A has a light blue dial with a sunray finish that reflects the light. The AQ240E-4A features a matte pale orange dial, which looks a lot like a soft salmon pink. Finally, the AQ240E-7A2 is just a simple matte white. All three use the exact same layout: standard analog hands tell the current time, while a small digital screen at the six o’clock position handles the extra functions.
That small digital screen covers the usual Casio features. It gives you dual time tracking, a basic 1/100-second stopwatch, a daily alarm, an hourly chime, and a calendar.
Physically, it is a very small and lightweight watch, especially compared to Casio’s bulkier G-Shock models. It measures 40.9 by 35.8 millimeters, is only 8.1mm thick, and weighs just 51 grams.
The case itself is made of chrome-plated resin rather than solid steel, and the crystal is resin glass, which is essentially plastic. It has basic water resistance, meaning it will survive rain or washing your hands, but you shouldn’t take it swimming. It runs on a standard SR920W watch battery, which Casio says should last about three years.
Gmktec recently released the NucBox M3 Pro, a mini PC that uses Intel’s 13th-Gen mobile processor. It is a straightforward machine designed to handle standard daily tasks, offering a useful variety of ports and upgrade options for its size.
Gmktec NucBox M3 Pro Specifications
Inside, the computer runs on an Intel Core i5-13500H. This is a 12-core, 16-thread chip that you usually find in mid-range laptops. For graphics, it relies on Intel’s integrated Iris Xe. It handles basic video playback, standard document editing, and running multiple high-resolution monitors without issue. To keep the temperature down, it uses a standard single-fan and copper pipe cooling system with vents on two sides.
The physical footprint is small, the box weighs about 480 grams, but you can still open it up to add parts. It has two M.2 storage slots. The main 2280 slot takes PCIe 4.0 NVMe drives up to 8TB, and the second 2242 slot fits either SATA or PCIe 3.0 drives.
For memory, there are two SO-DIMM slots supporting up to 64GB of RAM. It uses DDR4-3200 memory rather than the newer DDR5. That helps keep the price down, and DDR4 is still fast enough for the office tasks this PC is built for.
The port layout is helpful for multi-monitor setups and connecting everyday peripherals. You can connect up to three 4K displays using the two HDMI 2.0 ports on the back and the USB-C port on the front. The front panel also includes two USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports for fast data transfers and a standard 3.5mm audio jack.
On the back, you will find two additional USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports for standard accessories like a keyboard and mouse. For networking, it includes Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2.
It also has two 2.5G Ethernet ports on the back, which makes it a practical option for people who want to set up a home server or a custom router. Additionally, the mini PC supports VESA mount, so you can attach it directly to the back of a monitor to keep your desk clear.
Pricing and Availability
The NucBox M3 Pro is available now. The barebones version is currently priced at $329.99.
If you prefer a ready-to-use system with Windows 11 Pro, the 16GB RAM and 512GB storage model is $479.99, and the 32GB RAM and 1TB storage version is $679.99.

For more daily updates, please visit our News Section.
Minisforum has released the M2, a new mini PC that fits an Intel Core Ultra 7 356H processor into a standard five-inch chassis. It starts at $575 for a barebones model without memory or storage, while a pre-configured version with 32GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD costs $1,039.
Minisforum M2 Mini PC Specifications
Inside, the system runs on Intel’s Panther Lake architecture. The Core Ultra 7 356H is a 16-core, 16-thread chip with a 45W thermal design power (TDP). Minisforum is marketing this device toward AI tasks, pointing to the combined 90 TOPS (trillion operations per second) of processing power, 50 from the NPU and 40 from the integrated GPU.
In practical terms, this hardware allows users to run open-source large language models like Qwen3.5-35B locally. This is a useful feature if you want to test AI tools without relying on cloud services.
Running these local models requires a lot of memory, and the M2 supports up to 128GB of DDR5-5600 RAM across two SO-DIMM slots. For storage, it includes two M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 slots, which can hold up to 8TB of NVMe storage.
The port selection is practical for a home lab setup. The back of the device has two 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports, making it easy to configure as a soft router or a network-attached storage (NAS) device. It also supports Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4. For video output, it has HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, and a front-facing USB4 port that supports data, video, and power delivery. You can connect up to three 4K monitors at once.
The chassis measures 130 by 127 by 50mm and weighs 520 grams, which is typical for this class of mini PC. It comes with a VESA mount so you can attach it to the back of a monitor.
To manage heat, Minisforum uses a dual heat pipe cooler and a standard centrifugal fan. According to the manufacturer’s testing, the CPU reaches about 78 degrees Celsius under full load, generating around 42.5dB of noise.
In related news, Chuwi has recently launched the AuBox X Mini PC with an Intel Core Ultra 7 256V processor and support for triple 8K displays, while Dell recently introduced the Pro 5 Micro Mini PC powered by Intel Panther Lake CPUs.

We’ve tested plenty of pen tablets, pen displays, and styluses over the years. Every product faces the same challenge: how do you balance price and performance? The XPPen Deco 01 V3 has a very clear answer — it delivers an impressive spec sheet, but quietly cuts corners in places you might not notice at first. With 16,384 levels of pressure sensitivity, a 10 x 6.25-inch active area, 220–266 RPS report rate, USB-C connectivity, and Android support, the Deco 01 V3 looks great on paper. But after spending real time with it, you’ll see that this tablet knows exactly who it’s for — and where it can afford to hold back.
Buy the XPPen Deco 01 V3 on XPPen official store and get a 5% off with our exclusive code – GizmoXP
Unboxing and Accessories
Open the box, and the first thing you’ll notice is how much XPPen includes. You get 8 replacement nibs, a screen protector, an anti-fouling glove, a USB-A to USB-C adapter, and more. Purchased separately, these accessories could easily cost $20–30. XPPen bundles them all in, effectively lowering your total cost of ownership. No need to worry about buying a glove or hunting for spare nibs right after unboxing.
Build and Design
Thickness and Weight：
At just 8mm thick, the Deco 01 V3 is one of the slimmest pen tablets in its class. Most tablets in this price range measure around 8.5–9mm. That 1mm difference is noticeable — it slips easily into a laptop bag sleeve without bulging. Weight is also well-controlled.
Surface Feel
The matte surface has a medium-fine texture. The drag resistance sits right in the sweet spot — not so slippery that you lose control, not so rough that long strokes feel tiring. Another nice touch: it resists fingerprints. Most black tablets are fingerprint magnets, but the Deco 01 V3’s matte finish keeps it looking clean. However, durability is a concern. After about a month of use, the most frequently used area showed visible polishing wear. It doesn’t affect functionality, but it may bother users who care about aesthetics. Compared to Wacom tablets, the Deco 01 V3’s surface simply doesn’t hold up as well.
Connectivity
USB-C connectivity is a welcome feature. No adapters needed — just plug in a C-to-C cable to connect to a MacBook or Android device. That said, the USB-C port lacks reinforced shielding, which could lead to loosening over time with frequent plugging and unplugging. We recommend being gentle or using a magnetic cable to reduce wear.
Shortcut Keys
The eight round shortcut keys on the left side are the most distinctive design element of the Deco 01 V3.
The keys have a short travel distance and deliver a crisp, clicky feedback. At about 1cm in diameter, they’re easy to locate with your fingertip. However, the spacing between keys is a bit tight, so blind operation can sometimes lead to mispresses until you get used to the layout.
The shortcut keys are positioned on the left side. That’s fine for right-handed users, but left-handed users will find the placement awkward — and XPPen doesn’t offer a left-handed version.
XPPen’s driver software is mature. Each key can be independently mapped to keyboard shortcuts, mouse functions, modifier keys, system commands, and even application-specific settings. You can save different shortcut profiles for Photoshop, SAI, and Clip Studio Paint — the driver automatically switches when you change software.
If you’re used to keyboard shortcuts, these eight keys will probably go unused. But if you prefer working without a keyboard, they can be helpful. We recommend mapping your most frequent actions (undo, brush, eraser) to the bottom four keys, and less frequent functions (save, new layer) to the top four.
Pressure Sensitivity and Stylus Feel
Pressure Performance
Jumping from 8,192 to 16,384 levels of pressure sensitivity does make a difference — but the law of diminishing returns applies heavily here. The improvement is most visible with very light strokes, such as the faintest pencil hatching, where transitions feel slightly smoother. At normal drawing force, however, the difference between 8,192 and 16,384 levels is hard to perceive. Think of it like display refresh rates: 60Hz to 120Hz is a game-changer, but 120Hz to 240Hz is barely noticeable to most people. This upgrade feels more like a spec war checkbox. If you paint thick, highly textured work that demands extremely nuanced pressure response, you’ll appreciate the difference. But if you primarily do line art or anime-style illustrations, 8,192 levels are more than enough.
Stylus FeelPros:
Battery-free and wireless — no charging worries
Comfortable grip with balanced weight distribution
60° tilt recognition works well, delivering noticeable angle-based brush variation
Cons:
Noticeable nib wobble. This is a common issue with XPPen pens — the nib feels slightly loose in the barrel, creating a subtle “wiggle” sensation when you press down.
High initial activation force. Very light strokes require a bit more pressure than you might expect, which could frustrate users who rely on ultra-fine, delicate lines.
Android Support
XPPen officially supports Android 10.0 and above via the XPPen tools app. In our testing:
Connection was stable, with no disconnects or lag issues
However, the app offers limited functionality — advanced features like pressure curve adjustment still require returning to the desktop driver
It works, but don’t expect the same full-featured experience you get on a desktop.
Final Verdict
The XPPen Deco 01 V3 is a precisely targeted product. It focuses its manufacturing costs on the features that matter most to entry-level buyers — high pressure sensitivity, a large active area, and USB-C connectivity — while making compromises in stylus build quality, surface durability, and shortcut key ergonomics. This isn’t a “buy it blindly” tablet. But if you’re on a tight budget, want a large drawing surface, care about specs, and can accept a few trade-offs in build and feel, the Deco 01 V3 is a solid choice.
