Reports indicate that the Xiaomi Pad 9 could be an incremental upgrade over the Xiaomi Pad 8. It is expected to retain the 11.2-inch LCD display with a 3K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate, along with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset. While the Pad 8 features a 9,200mAh battery, the Pad 9 is tipped to include a larger 9,720mAh battery. As a next-generation model, it is also expected to ship with HyperOS 4 based on Android 17.

The Xiaomi Pad 9 is expected to debut alongside the Xiaomi 18 series in September in China. The device is also expected to release in other markets, including India, in the coming months.

There have been rumors that the Redmi Note 17 series will, for the first time, include a “Pro Max” branded model. Recently, the Note 17 and Note 17 Pro were unveiled in China, and there was no third model, raising doubts about the existence of the Pro Max edition. Now, a new certification has revealed its existence for the first time.

Redmi Note 17 Pro Max, Note 17 NBTC certified

The above screenshots show that new smartphones with model numbers 26081RA18G and 2609FRA74G have received approval from Thailand’s NBTC certification authority.

Redmi Note 17 Pro Max, Note 17 specifications: What to expect?

Rumors surrounding the Redmi Note 17 Pro Max claim that it will feature a 7-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. For photography, it may include a 32-megapixel Samsung S5KKDS front camera and a 200-megapixel Samsung HP5 primary camera paired with an 8-megapixel OmniVision OV8F10 ultra-wide camera.

Under the hood, the device is expected to feature the Dimensity 7500 chipset, along with a 10,000mAh battery and 100W charging. While the global model is expected to retain most of the same specifications, it is said to feature a slightly smaller 9,210mAh battery.

Unlike the Chinese model’s 8,000mAh battery, the global version is said to feature a 7,700mAh battery. Reports also suggest that the Indian variant may retain the larger 8,000mAh battery offered on the Chinese edition.

OnePlus has officially shut down its operations in most parts of the world, but software updates will continue to be rolled out to eligible devices — with a completely new flavor. OxygenOS will be replaced by ColorOS on all active OnePlus devices.

The company has confirmed a massive restructuring that will completely retire the OxygenOS software platform globally. Following the official release of ColorOS 17, all active OnePlus devices “will have the option to voluntarily update to the latest ColorOS,” the company wrote in a post on the OnePlus Community.

Below is a list of all OnePlus phones and tablets that will receive the ColorOS 17 update.

These OnePlus devices are eligible for the ColorOS 17 update

The community post doesn’t reveal which devices are in line for the ColorOS 17 upgrade. So, we reviewed the update policy for each device to compile the list below. Since it’s based on the official update policy, it must be accurate.

Samsung Galaxy S26 FE and Galaxy Tab S12 show up on Google listing, ahead of a September launch

By

Jul 21, 2026

Samsung is busy this week for its Unpacked event where it will unveil new Galaxy foldables. But Samsung’s next Fan Edition phone and its upcoming tablet lineup have also turned up in a regulatory filing.

A new report from Android Authority reveals the Galaxy S26 FE and Galaxy Tab S12 have appeared in an internal list inside the Google app, one that tracks devices set to offer a free trial of Google’s paid AI subscription.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S12 and Galaxy S26 FE

The Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8 already sit on that same list, and the addition of the S26 FE and Tab S12 suggests both devices are moving closer to launch.

What to expect?

Other recent reports have added more detail on what to expect from each device. The Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra is expected to retain a design similar to the Tab S11 Ultra, including the V-shaped notch housing the front camera.

The tablet is said to measure 326.34 x 208.46 x 5.12 mm, nearly identical in size and thickness to its predecessor. It’s expected to have a single front camera and two rear cameras, though exact megapixel counts haven’t been revealed yet.

The Tab S12 Ultra is also tipped to run on MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500 chip, with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and storage options of 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB. It should launch with One UI 9.0 and get six years of Android updates.

On the phone side, the Galaxy S26 FE follows Samsung’s 2026 design direction, with a raised camera bump and a flat frame. A Geekbench listing shows the phone’s board labeled s5e9955, which lines up with the Exynos 2500 chip and a 1+2+5+2 core layout. Its display is also shaping up to be a bigger change: reports point to an OLED panel from China’s BOE, marking the first time Samsung has brought in an outside screen maker for an FE model instead of relying on its own display unit.

Samsung is expected to unveil both the Galaxy S26 FE and the Galaxy Tab S12 lineup in September, following last year’s launch pattern for both product lines.

Jul 21, 2026

Back in June, the first details of the iQOO 16T emerged. At that time, the leak revealed that it would be a large-screen device. Now, a new leak courtesy of tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed a few more details about the device.

iQOO 16T’s key specifications tipped

The latest leak suggests that iQOO has started testing the iQOO 16T. According to the tipster, the prototype is powered by Qualcomm’s upcoming SM8950 flagship chipset, which is expected to be the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6.

The device is said to feature a built-in large cooling fan for improved thermal performance and is currently being tested with a 2K flat Samsung display. While the specifications may change before launch, the leak indicates that iQOO is focusing on flagship-level performance and advanced cooling for the upcoming 16T.

The iQOO 16T will succeed the iQOO 15T, which debuted in May 2026. At present, there is no information about the 16T’s launch timeframe. It remains to be seen whether iQOO is aiming to unveil it in May 2027 or earlier.

The iQOO 15T features a 6.82-inch AMOLED LTPO display with a 2K+ resolution, a 144Hz refresh rate, and an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor. Under the hood, it has the Dimensity 9500 Monster chip, up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM, up to 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage, and a massive 8,000mAh battery with 100W charging.

The 15T runs OriginOS 6 based on Android 16 and features a 16-megapixel front-facing camera. On the back, it has a 200-megapixel primary camera with OIS and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera. The device has a metal frame and carries an IP68/IP69 rating for dust and water resistance.

Japan built a refrigerator for humans, and it cools you in just 5 minutes

By

Jul 21, 2026

Japan has unveiled an unusual solution for dealing with extreme summer temperatures. Called the Do Hiemon Box, the one-person cooling booth resembles a giant refrigerator, but instead of storing food or drinks, it is designed to rapidly cool people who have been exposed to intense heat. Developed in response to rising temperatures, the product is already attracting attention for its practical workplace applications.

A cooling booth inspired by vending machines

Japan human refrigerator — Do Hiemon Box

The Do Hiemon Box was developed by Japanese refrigeration and vending machine manufacturer SDRS and is sold by industrial equipment supplier Trusco Nakayama. Inspired by Japan’s refrigerated vending machines, the booth keeps its interior at around 15 degrees Celsius.

Once a user sits on the built-in chair, chilled air at approximately 5° Celsius is directed toward the head, neck, shoulders, and back. The companies claim users begin feeling noticeably cooler within five minutes, while spending around 10 minutes inside may help reduce body temperature and ease symptoms associated with heat exhaustion.

The portable booth offers three cooling modes and automatically powers off after 20 minutes to prevent excessive cooling. It runs on roughly half the electricity required by a conventional spot air conditioner, requires no installation, and is fitted with wheels so it can be moved easily between different work locations. It is intended for construction sites, factories, warehouses, outdoor events, schools, shopping malls, and other places where people are regularly exposed to high temperatures.

The launch comes as Japan experiences increasingly severe summers. The country has even introduced new terminology for days when temperatures exceed 40°Celsius, highlighting the growing impact of extreme heat. Reports also note rising heatstroke cases, prompting businesses and local authorities to explore new ways to protect workers and the public.

The Do Hiemon Box is currently available through industrial equipment distributors in Japan for 1.5 million yen (~$9,230) before tax, making it a business-focused product rather than a consumer appliance. Earlier this year, one unit was donated to Maebashi City Hall, where visitors can use it free of charge during opening hours. If temperatures continue climbing, similar cooling booths could become a common sight across workplaces and public spaces.

Vivo S2 tipped to launch next month in India as a successor to 2019’s Vivo S1

By

-

Jul 21, 2026

After nearly seven years of silence in the Indian market, the Vivo S2 is on its way. According to leaker Yogesh Brar, the phone (model number V2576) is expected to launch in early August 2026, with sales likely kicking off around August 15. It has already popped up in the Bluetooth SIG database, which is usually a strong sign that the official announcement is just around the corner.

The S2 is reportedly aiming for the premium mid-range segment. That puts it in direct competition with phones like the Oppo Reno 16 Pro. If the rumors hold up, it should be a solid pick for anyone who wants a stylish handset with good cameras.

For those who remember, the original Vivo S1 launched back in 2019 with a beautiful 6.38-inch Super AMOLED display, and a MediaTek Helio P65 processor. The phone paired a 16MP main camera with an 8MP ultrawide camera and, somewhat surprisingly for its time, a 32MP front-facing camera. Its 4,500mAh battery supported 18W wired charging.

This handset was positioned as a stylish, youth-centric premium mid-range smartphone at the time, with the base 4GB RAM + 128GB storage variant priced at Rs. 17,990 at launch. The new S2 is expected to take that formula to the next level with much better hardware and improved image processing. There’s also a good chance the S2 will share some DNA with Vivo’s global V-series models.

Also ReadThe Best Vivo Phones Under Rs. 15,000

The premium mid-range price bracket has shifted noticeably over the years. Factor in the recent memory chip shortage, and the tipster expects the handset to debut in India at under Rs. 50,000.

As we get closer to the August launch window, we should start seeing more concrete specs on the processor, display, software, and pricing. It remains to be seen if the S2 manages to stand out in the India’s crowded mid-range market.

Dareu launches new lightweight gaming mouse featuring custom PixArt sensor & 8K wireless polling

Jul 20, 2026

Dareu has released a new competitive gaming mouse in China, the AE6 V2 Legend Edition. It is priced at 329 yuan ($48) and targets competitive gamers with a focus on flagship-grade hardware and performance.

Dareu AE6 V2 Legend Edition Specifications

The mouse features the new AIM-3955 PRO optical sensor, developed in collaboration with PixArt. It supports up to 50,000 DPI sensitivity, 750 IPS tracking speed, and 60G acceleration.

Inside, the mouse is powered by a Nordic 54L15 controller. Built on a 22nm process, the chip allows the AE6 V2 to support an 8,000Hz polling rate in both wired and 2.4GHz wireless modes.

To help manage the battery drain associated with this, Dareu included firmware that automatically adjusts power consumption depending on whether the mouse is being used for gaming or basic desktop tasks.

Physically, the AE6 V2 Legend Edition weighs 59 grams. Instead of using a perforated outer shell to cut weight, Dareu used an internal skeletal frame to maintain the structural rigidity of the solid plastic shell. The exterior is finished with a matte UV coating to resist sweat and improve grip.

For the primary buttons, the mouse uses Omron mechanical switches rated for 100 million clicks. Dareu also implemented its KBS Light button design, which is intended to reduce pre-travel and make the click feel consistent regardless of where you press the button.

The bottom of the mouse features 100% PTFE feet, and the company includes pre-cut grip tape in the box. According to Dareu, the shape of the mouse is the result of over 200 mold revisions over three years, designed to work with palm, claw, and fingertip grip styles.

Battery life is dependent on how you use the mouse. The built-in 500mAh battery is rated to last over 330 hours in wireless mode if you keep the polling rate at the standard 1,000Hz. If you switch to the maximum 8,000Hz polling rate, the battery life drops significantly to around 40 to 50 hours. The mouse includes standard LED indicators to check the current battery level and connection status.

In related news, Xiaomi has recently introduced the Wireless Mouse 4 Pro, featuring dynamic scrolling functionality and silent-click switches.

SanDisk launches new USB-C flash drives with up to 256GB storage and 250MB/s read speeds

Jul 20, 2026

SanDisk has released a new line of USB-C flash drives called the CZB Series. The drives are available globally and in China, offering a straightforward storage option for people who need to move files between modern laptops, phones, and tablets that no longer have traditional USB-A ports.

SanDisk CZB Flash Drive Specifications

The CZB Series is exactly what it looks like: a standard thumb drive with a native USB-C connector. The drive itself is just a small black casing with a built-in hole to attach it to a keychain or lanyard. It measures 1.94 x 0.81 x 0.46 inches and weighs about 6 grams, making it a basic, lightweight drive you can leave in your bag or pocket.

As for performance, the CZB Series runs on the USB 3.2 Gen 1 standard, which supports up to 5Gbps of bandwidth. SanDisk advertises sequential read speeds of up to 250MB/s. That is standard for a modern flash drive, it won’t match the speed of an external SSD if you are trying to edit video directly off the drive, but it is more than enough for quickly transferring documents, backing up photos, or moving a few large files between computers.

SanDisk is offering the drive in three storage capacities: 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB. The company says that the 256GB model can store roughly 60,000 photos, though that will depend heavily on your camera’s file sizes.

The drives work out of the box with Windows 10, Windows 11, and macOS Monterey or newer. SanDisk also offers an optional app to help manage and back up files if you prefer not to drag and drop manually.

Pricing is standard for this category of storage. In the US, the 64GB model has a retail price of $24.99 but is currently selling for $19.99. The 128GB version costs $24.99, and the 256GB model is listed at $53.99 with a current price of $42.99.

In China, the pricing is set at 129.9 yuan for the 64GB version, 199 yuan for 128GB, and 349 yuan for 256GB. All three versions come with a three-year limited warranty.

In related news, Asus has recently introduced a portable SSD featuring dual USB-C and USB-A connectivity, offering transfer speeds of up to 500MB/s and storage capacities of up to 1TB.

Galaxy Watch 9, Watch Ultra 2 leaked promo materials confirm design, colors, and specifications

Jul 20, 2026

If you’ve been following the rumors, you already know the Galaxy Watch 9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 are just around the corner. Leaks and promotional materials have been popping up everywhere.

Ahead of the July 22 official unveiling, reliable leaker Evan Blass dropped what look like official promo images for both models. The regular Galaxy Watch 9 keeps things familiar: same dual-button layout as the Watch 8, just with some subtle refinements. It’ll come in four colors: white, graphite, green, and black, giving people more options to match their style.

The big internal change is the switch to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Wear Elite chip. That should mean better efficiency, snappier performance, and stronger AI features compared to the predecessor’s Exynos W1000. Battery sizes are as follows: 390mAh on the 40mm version and 445mAh on the 44mm one.

On the health side, Samsung is really leaning into proactive wellness. There’s a new “Vitals” watch face that keeps an eye on your key metrics and alerts you if something looks off. They’ve also added a running coach that helps track your progress toward personal goals, plus improved sleep apnea detection. All of this feeds into better sleep and energy scores, which feels like a natural evolution of what Samsung has been building.

Galaxy Watch Ultra 2:

Then there’s the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2. It keeps that tough, adventure-ready vibe with a 47mm titanium case that’s reportedly 12% thinner than the first one. The 1.5-inch OLED display (480×480) can hit a blazing 5000 nits peak brightness, so it should look great even in direct sunlight. Durability-wise, it has 10ATM water resistance and IP69K certification.

Like the standard model, it runs on the Snapdragon Wear Elite chipset, with 2GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. The 800mAh battery sounds promising for all-day (and then some) use, and it’s a major upgrade over the 590mAh cell in the Galaxy Watch Ultra (2024) and Watch Ultra (2025).

For connectivity, you’ll get Bluetooth 6.0, NFC, dual-band Wi-Fi, and LTE options. Pricing is expected to land around €749.

While the regular Watch 9 feels like a refined daily driver, the Ultra 2 is clearly aimed at people who want a more rugged, premium experience.

WEEBILL 5 camera gimbal announced with 3kg payload support, built-in carrying handle, and AI tracking

Check Zhiyun Weebill 5 gimbal Price on Amazon

-

Jul 20, 2026

Zhiyun, a leading manufacturer of professional motorized camera and smartphone gimbals, just dropped a new camera stabilizer. The WEEBILL 5 is positioned as a gimbal that combines clever AI features with thoughtful design to make shooting easier and more fun.

Priced at 2299 yuan (roughly $330), the gimbal brings a fresh third-generation stabilization system along with a built-in carrying handle. It can handle payloads up to 3kg, so it works well with a wide range of mirrorless cameras and lenses from Sony, Canon, Nikon, and others.

Also ReadBest action cameras & pocket gimbals in 2026

The real highlight is its AI-powered intelligent tracking. A dedicated AI module can recognize and lock onto all kinds of subjects: people, pets, vehicles, even buildings. It can keep tracking even if the subject briefly leaves the frame, with reliable performance up to about 10 meters away. There’s also real-time camera movement assistance that automatically helps frame your shots nicely, so you spend less time fiddling and more time being creative.

On the practical side, Zhiyun added a new stabilization algorithm, a double-layer quick-release plate that skips the usual secondary leveling for faster setups, and handy micro-adjustment knobs for fine-tuning. Other useful bits include a 1.8-inch color touchscreen, built-in fill light, native horizontal and vertical shooting modes, Bluetooth control for shutter and zoom, plus support for external focus motors, monitors, mics, and more.

The WEEBILL 5 builds nicely on the previous models in the series, which were already popular for being lightweight and user-friendly. This new version adds smarter AI tracking and better ergonomics, tackling common complaints like tricky subject following and slow setup times in the field.

Overall, at this price point, the WEEBILL 5 looks like a strong option for vloggers, hybrid shooters, and filmmakers who want something portable yet capable. It strikes a nice balance between smart features and real-world usability. Once it’s widely available and we get more hands-on feedback, it’ll be interesting to see how it performs in everyday shooting situations.

Xiaomi launches new affordable electric shaver with adaptive power, IPX7 & USB-C charging

By

Check Xiaomi Mijia electric shaver Price on Amazon

-

Jul 20, 2026

Xiaomi has released a new Mijia Electric Shaver on its Youpin platform, bringing a few high-end grooming features down to a strictly budget price. The device carries a standard retail price of 249 yuan ($36), with an initial launch price of 199.75 yuan ($29).

Xiaomi Mijia Electric Shaver Specifications

The shaver is built around a standard dual-ring, three-head system. The cutting mechanism uses an irregular corrugated foil created through metal injection molding (MIM), which is paired with concave stainless steel blades.

According to Xiaomi, this specific geometry is designed to physically guide facial hair into the cutting zone. The practical goal here is to reduce the pulling and snagging that often happens with cheaper rotary shavers. The company says this layout improves shaving efficiency by about 48% compared to its previous model.

Internally, the device runs on a motor capable of 5 million cutting actions per minute. To manage that output, an onboard chip monitors the physical resistance against the blades approximately 100 times per second. When the shaver moves over a denser patch of a beard, it automatically ramps up the motor’s power and blade speed. This prevents the motor from bogging down, which is the primary cause of hair pulling in electric razors.

Xiaomi has also focused on skin irritation. The shaving heads are treated with a micro-bead coating to lower physical friction against the skin. Additionally, the foil is constructed from low-nickel stainless steel that complies with European nickel release standards, a useful detail for users who suffer from metal contact dermatitis. The entire head assembly sits on a 360-degree floating frame to keep the blades flush against angular areas like the jawline.

For power, the shaver relies on USB-C and takes about two hours to charge fully. Xiaomi advertises a 90-day battery life, though it is worth noting this metric is based on a very brief one-minute daily shave. More practically, the device supports pass-through charging, meaning you can plug it into a wall adapter and finish shaving if the battery dies halfway through.

The hardware is IPX7-rated for full water resistance, allowing for both wet and dry use, and includes a one-button pop-up hinge for rinsing out hair. It comes in three standard colors: Meteor Gray, Sky Blue, and Glacier Silver, and includes a travel lock and a basic LED battery display.

In related news, Xiaomi has recently launched a smart bathroom heater that automates lighting, heating, and airflow, alongside a new smart water flosser that features a color display, app connectivity, and up to 105 days of battery life.

DJI Osmo 360 II Prototype Leaks With Bigger Battery and NFC Support

Jul 20, 2026

DJI is already working on a follow-up to its first 360-degree camera, and a new leak from TheNewCamera gives us a look at an engineering prototype of the Osmo 360 II. The design stays close to the original as it has the same square body and a lens layout that hasn’t changed much.

The camera, listed under model number OQ002, has also shown up in FCC filings, which reveal a battery upgrade from 1,950mAh to 2,150mAh. That increase should give users more recording time before they need to recharge or swap batteries.

The Osmo 360 II is also said to bring NFC support. This would let users pair the camera with their phone and transfer files just by tapping the two devices together, something most panoramic cameras still don’t offer.

DJI Osmo 360 Recap

DJI launched the original Osmo 360 in July 2025 with a 1-inch square sensor, native 8K/50fps panoramic video, and panoramic photos up to 120MP, so the sequel builds on a camera that already covered the basics well. Notably, the first Osmo 360 also leaked through FCC filings months before DJI made it official, and that launch followed shortly after, so this pattern of early certification leaks lining up with a real release isn’t new for the company.

Also ReadBest action cameras & pocket gimbals in 2026

Beyond the FCC listing, real-world photos and field-test footage of the Osmo 360 II are now making the rounds too, which usually means development is further along than early testing.

DJI hasn’t confirmed a release date yet, but between the certification paperwork, the prototype sightings, and the leaked features, an official announcement looks like it shouldn’t be too far off.

Jul 20, 2026

Traveling with tech has become more complicated than ever. A typical backpack now carries a laptop, smartphone, smartwatch, earbuds, power bank, camera, or even a handheld gaming console. Each device often comes with its own charger, creating unnecessary bulk.

This is where desktop charging stations like the Acefast Z10 PD100W GaN Power Station come in. Unlike a traditional wall charger, it sits on your desk or hotel nightstand and powers multiple devices from a single outlet. But does that make sense when you’re traveling?

3A better fit for hotel rooms than airport terminals

Acefast Z10 PD100W GaN Power Station

Desktop chargers aren’t meant to replace compact pocket-sized GaN chargers. Instead, they’re designed for your destination.

Once you arrive at a hotel, a desktop charger creates a clean charging hub for all your devices. The Z10’s 1.5-meter AC cable lets you place it conveniently on a desk or bedside table, while the silicone suction base keeps it from sliding around as you plug and unplug devices.

For creators, journalists, photographers, and business travelers, it’s a far more organized solution than juggling multiple chargers.

If you’re into affordable smartphones, this one’s worth watching. Qualcomm is prepping the Snapdragon 4 Gen 6 (model SM4875) for devices expected next year, and a leaked internal document gives us a pretty clear early look at what it brings. The focus is on better graphics, faster memory, and improved efficiency.

The chip will be built on TSMC’s 4nm process. The CPU setup looks familiar to the Gen 5: two performance cores based on Cortex-A78 (each with 256KB L2 cache) and six efficiency Cortex-A55 cores (64KB L2 each), all sharing a 1MB L3 cache. It’s not a radical redesign, but it should handle day-to-day tasks a little better while keeping battery drain in check.

The real highlight is the GPU upgrade. It’s moving from the older Adreno 4 series to the newer Adreno 6 series. Since the 4 Gen 5 already delivered a reported 77% graphics boost over its predecessor, this next jump could make a noticeable difference in gaming, smoother animations, and media playback on cheaper phones.

Memory support is also getting a nice bump: it now handles dual-channel LPDDR5 at 3200MHz, while still working with LPDDR4X for manufacturers who want more flexible (or cheaper) configurations. That extra bandwidth should help with multitasking and loading apps faster.

Qualcomm is keeping options open on the connectivity side as well. You’ll see either the WCN3998-2 (Wi-Fi 5 + Bluetooth 5.2) or the more premium WCN6750 with Wi-Fi 6 support, depending on the phone maker’s choices. Security features include hardware-based ECC image certification, Widevine L1 for better streaming, and a new Trust Management Engine.

The whole thing comes in a slightly larger PSP917 package (11.1 x 12.0 mm), which probably gives room for these added capabilities.

For context, the Snapdragon 4 Gen 5 (which launched earlier this year) already brought decent GPU improvements and stronger 5G on the same 4nm node. The Gen 6 feels like a natural evolution: refining what worked and adding better memory and graphics muscle.

Of course, we’ll need official confirmation and real-world benchmarks before getting too excited, but the leak suggests Qualcomm isn’t slowing down in the budget chipset segment.

Check Moondrop MM3A speakers Price on Amazon

Jul 20, 2026

Moondrop has unveiled a new 3-inch active HiFi speaker called MM3A, built for desktop use. The speaker goes on sale July 22, priced at 699.9 yuan, or some $103, per pair for its launch window before rising to a regular price of 999.9 yuan (~ $147).

Moondrop MM3A Specifications

The MM3A has an original cabinet design. Moondrop shaped the enclosure with multiple curves and no parallel surfaces, a low-diffraction approach that cuts down on internal standing waves. The result is a compact speaker that fits comfortably on a desk without dominating the space.

Connectivity on the MM3A includes USB, optical, 3.5mm AUX, and Bluetooth inputs, so it works with computers, phones, and other audio sources. Moondrop also built in support for parametric EQ, letting users fine-tune the sound through a companion app or a PC.

Inside, the speaker pairs a 3-inch aluminum cone driver for mids and bass with a silk dome tweeter for highs. Moondrop added two passive radiators mounted on opposite sides of the cabinet, using rear cavity pressure to push the low end further than the compact size would normally allow. A fully digital DSP crossover and a dynamic enhancement algorithm handle the audio processing, working together to keep bass output controlled and consistent.

The MM3A adds to Moondrop’s growing lineup of active speakers and audio gear. The brand recently brought DSP tuning to its KADENZ earphones, and its Space Travel 2 Ultra earbuds and Armature Art 24 IEMs show the same focus on custom acoustic tuning that now shows up in the MM3A’s desktop form factor.

With its curved cabinet, flexible connectivity, and app-based EQ control, the MM3A gives desktop listeners a compact speaker built around precise sound tuning rather than raw output.

XElectron has launched the Techno (C7) Smart Home Theatre Movie HD Projector in India, a budget projector that combines flexible placement options with built-in streaming support for affordable home entertainment.

XElectron Techno C7 Specifications

The XElectron Techno features a built-in 180-degree rotatable stand, allowing users to easily adjust the projection angle for wall or ceiling viewing without requiring a separate tripod or ceiling mount.

The projector has a native 720p (1280 × 720) resolution. While it supports decoding and playing 1080p and 4K content, the projected image is output at 720p resolution.

XElectron claims a peak brightness of 9000 lumens and a 5000:1 contrast ratio. The LED light source, rated for up to 50,000 hours of life, can cast a screen size ranging from 40 inches up to 200 inches from a throw distance of 4 to 16 feet. However, the company recommends a 120-inch projection for the best overall viewing experience.

To assist with setup, the device includes electric focus alongside automatic and 4D keystone correction to keep the image squared off when projecting from off-center angles.

On the software side, the Techno runs on Android 14, allowing it to function as a standalone smart display. Users can stream directly from native apps like Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, JioHotstar, ZEE5, and SonyLIV without needing to plug in an external streaming stick. The user interface also supports 25 languages, including localized options like Hindi and Bangla.

On the software side, the projector runs Android 14, enabling standalone streaming through apps such as Netflix, YouTube and, Prime Video without requiring an external streaming device.

For connectivity, the projector includes dual-band WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0. Physical ports are standard for this category, featuring an HDMI port, a USB port, and a 3.5mm audio jack for connecting laptops, gaming consoles, or external storage.

Audio is provided by a built-in 20W speaker system, though the Bluetooth and audio jack allow users to easily route sound to external speakers or headphones.

Entire iPhone 17 lineup sees price hike in Japan

Jul 20, 2026

According to the updated pricing on Apple’s Japanese website, the base iPhone 17 (256GB) now starts at ¥142,800, up from ¥129,800, which is roughly a 10% increase. The higher-end models saw similar bumps: the iPhone 17 Pro (256GB) jumped to ¥194,800 from ¥179,800 (about 8.3% higher), and the iPhone 17 Pro Max also saw roughly a 10% increase. Other variants like the iPhone 17 Air and iPhone 17e went up between 8% and 11.3%. Apple Watch and AirPods models were hit with similar hikes.

This move comes as the yen continues to hover near multi-decade lows against the US dollar, making imported products more expensive for Japanese buyers. Apple’s Japan team reportedly declined to comment, but the change fits with what other companies have been doing to cope with the currency pressure. Just a few weeks ago, Apple raised prices on Macs, iPads, and other devices globally due to memory chip shortages (though iPhones were spared in that earlier round).

The iPhone 17 series brings upgrades such as improved cameras, longer battery life, a more powerful A-series chip, and a refreshed design for the Pro models. Japan has always been a strong market for iPhones, but these higher prices could make some buyers think twice, especially when comparing them to local options and Android flagships.

So far, Apple hasn’t announced similar price increases in other countries, which suggests this adjustment is specific to Japan’s economic situation. Currency swings can force companies to tweak prices of their products, and this is just the latest example.

For Japanese consumers, the new starting price for the iPhone 17 Pro Max now sits around ¥214,800 in some configs, making the top model feel even more premium. These regional price changes highlight how global supply chains and currency volatility can affect everyday buyers. It’ll be interesting to see if the yen stabilizes or if Apple offers any promotions to soften the blow.
