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.

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.

Xiaomi has added a new cordless vacuum to its home appliance lineup in China. Following the recent release of the 4C model, the company is now introducing the Mijia Wireless Vacuum Cleaner 4. It is priced at 999 yuan (roughly $146) and goes on pre-sale starting today through JD.com.
Mijia Wireless Vacuum Cleaner 4 Specs
The vacuum is built around a brushless motor that operates at 120,000 RPM. According to Xiaomi, it provides 230AW of suction power and a maximum suction force of 25,000Pa. This is standard for the category and is meant to handle everyday household debris like pet hair, food crumbs, and fine dust.
The device comes with a 180-degree blue light integrated into the cleaning head. The light illuminates the floor up to 30 centimeters ahead, which helps make fine dust particles more visible, particularly under furniture or in dimly lit rooms. The cleaning head is also designed to support right-side edge cleaning to help pick up dirt along baseboards.
Internally, the vacuum uses an infrared sensor to monitor the amount of dust passing through the system. When set to Smart Mode, the device adjusts its suction automatically, increasing power when it detects heavier dirt and lowering it on cleaner surfaces to conserve battery life.
To address hair wrapping around the roller, Xiaomi included a dual anti-tangle system. The main floor brush has a built-in comb structure that separates hair as the brush spins. The included motorized mite brush uses a floating mechanism to direct hair straight into the suction channel.
The vacuum is powered by a removable eight-cell 2600mAh battery. Xiaomi advertises a maximum runtime of 90 minutes, though this is limited to the lowest energy-saving setting. In the auto-adjusting Smart Mode, the battery lasts between 18 and 37 minutes, depending on the floor conditions. Using the maximum suction setting depletes the battery in about 10 minutes. Because the battery is detachable, users have the option to swap it out for a charged spare.
For filtration, the device uses a 12-cone cyclone system to separate dust from the airflow, which helps prevent the filter from clogging over time. It features a five-stage filtration setup, including an H13-grade HEPA filter that Xiaomi says captures 99.99% of particles as small as 0.3 microns.
The Mijia Wireless Vacuum Cleaner 4 comes with a standard set of accessories: the main floor brush, the mite brush, and a 2-in-1 crevice tool. It also includes an LED display on the handle to show battery levels and cleaning modes, as well as a wall-mounted dock for charging and storage.
The 2025 Lenovo Yoga 9i 2-in-1 Aura Edition is one of those laptops that quietly wins you over the longer you use it. I’ve been testing it for well over a month now, and during that time, it accompanied me through launch events, flights, hotel stays, editing sessions, and long workdays. I haven’t personally used many competing premium 2-in-1 laptops recently, so I can’t directly compare them against every rival out there. But after spending this much time with it, I genuinely feel this is one of the best premium convertibles currently available.
The unit I tested comes with Intel’s Lunar Lake platform, a 14-inch 2.8K OLED touchscreen, and rotating hinge speakers. On Lenovo India’s website, this configuration is priced at Rs 1,74,005, firmly placing it in premium territory.
6Verdict
Lenovo Yoga 9i 2-in-1
The Lenovo Yoga 9i 2-in-1 Aura Edition feels like a premium laptop designed around portability, entertainment, battery life, and overall user experience rather than just raw benchmark numbers. And honestly, it succeeds at that.
The OLED display is gorgeous, the hinge speakers are among the best in the segment, battery life is genuinely dependable, and the overall build quality feels premium throughout. Add the flexibility of the 2-in-1 form factor, and this becomes an excellent companion for travelers, content consumers, and productivity-focused users alike.
I haven’t used many rival premium convertibles recently, but after spending over a month with the Yoga 9i, I can comfortably say this feels like one of the best 2-in-1 laptops currently available. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a premium convertible laptop.
That said, one thing buyers should keep in mind is that while Windows 11 generally works well, the touch experience still isn’t always perfectly smooth. There are occasional moments where touch interactions can feel inconsistent or less polished than they should on a device designed to be used in multiple orientations.
PS:Don’t mind the keyboard key smudges visible in some of the images added in this post. The Lenovo review unit sent to me had already been used and reviewed by someone else before reaching me, and it was also fairly dusty when I received it. Also, while Lenovo’s official listing mentions that the Yoga Pen is included in the retail package, the review unit sent to me did not include the stylus.

For years, smartphone brands focused on making devices thinner, lighter, and faster. Battery upgrades often felt incremental, with most flagship phones settling between 4,500mAh and 5,500mAh capacities. However, 2026 is beginning to look very different. Smartphone makers are now experimenting with massive battery capacities, with some brands even crossing the 10,000mAh mark.
At first glance, a 10,000mAh smartphone may sound excessive. After all, many modern phones already last an entire day. But changing usage habits, AI-powered features, mobile gaming, and heavy content consumption are pushing battery demands to new levels.
410,000mAh phones are already here
Poco X8 Pro Max
Chinese smartphone brands are already leading this transition. Vivo and Honor have recently introduced smartphones in China featuring batteries close to or above the 10,000mAh mark. These devices are currently limited to the Chinese market, but there is a strong possibility that global variants could arrive in the coming months.
The Vivo Y600 Pro, for example, packs a huge 10,200mAh battery inside a body that measures 8.2mm in thickness and weighs between 221 grams and 223 grams. Honor, on the other hand, has launched multiple high-capacity devices, including the Honor Win series with a 10,000mAh battery. The device measures 8.3mm thick and weighs 229 grams.
Another interesting model is the Honor Power 2, which features a 10,080mAh battery while maintaining an 8mm profile. It weighs 216 grams, making it slightly lighter than some other ultra-battery smartphones currently available.
What is impressive is that manufacturers have managed to keep the thickness of these devices under 9mm, which is quite good considering the battery capacities involved. However, the weight still hovers around the 220-gram mark in many cases. Once users add a protective case, the overall weight could increase by several more grams, making these phones noticeably heavier than typical mainstream smartphones.
At the same time, the global market is already seeing phones with 9,000mAh-class batteries. Devices such as the Poco X8 Pro Max and OnePlus Nord 6 are pushing battery capacities far beyond what used to be considered standard for mainstream smartphones.
While ultra-large batteries may not become mandatory for everyone, 2026 clearly marks the beginning of a new battery race. And for gamers, travellers, creators, and power users, the era of the 10,000mAh smartphone may finally make perfect sense.

Redmi unveiled the Redmi K90 and K90 Pro Max smartphones in October last year. Notably, this marked the first time a Redmi flagship arrived with the “Pro Max” branding. Based on that naming pattern, early reports claimed that the upcoming Redmi K100 series would include the Redmi K100 and K100 Pro Max. However, a fresh update now suggests that the company could replace the K100 Pro Max with a different model altogether.
Redmi K100 Pro Max moniker could be dropped
As seen in the screenshot above, reliable tipster Experience More claims that there may not be a Q11U model after all, but instead a Q11X device. Earlier reports suggested that the Redmi K100 Pro Max carried the internal engineering codename Q11U. However, the latest information indicates that Redmi may have replaced the project internally and could launch it under a different branding.
To recall, the Redmi K90 Pro Max reportedly carried the internal codename P11U. Therefore, many expected its successor to follow a similar naming structure with the Q11U codename.
The tipster’s latest claim suggests that the company could launch Q11X instead of Q11U. This has led to speculation that Redmi may drop the “Pro Max” branding for the upcoming flagship altogether. At present, it remains unclear whether the device will debut as the Redmi K100 Ultra or under another name entirely.
Hopefully, additional leaks and reports emerging in the coming weeks will provide more clarity regarding the final branding of the device.
Based on previous reports, the Q11X model has already been spotted running early builds of HyperOS 3 that are reportedly optimized for 2nm architecture. This strongly suggests that the device could be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 series chipset. Globally, this device could be rebranded as the Poco F9 Ultra in the global market.

iQOO is all set to unveil the iQOO 15T, a new flagship offering, later this month. While the launch date is still under wraps, the device has been spotted prematurely in China Telecom’s database, revealing its core specifications. Here’s a look at what the smartphone packs inside.
iQOO 15T specifications (rumored)
iQOO 15T
As per the China Telecom listing, the iQOO 15T will house a 6.82-inch OLED screen, which, according to other reports, will offer a 2K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. On the front, it will feature a 16-megapixel selfie camera, while the back panel will house a 200-megapixel + 50-megapixel dual-camera setup.
The images available in the listing reveal a flat display and a raised square-shaped camera module on the back. The rest of the design appears minimalist.
The iQOO 15T will be powered by the Dimensity 9500, which is listed as model number MT6993 in the China Telecom listing. It will come preloaded with Android 16, which will have a layer of OriginOS 6 on top.
According to Digital Chat Station’s recent Weibo post, the iQOO 15T will debut with a special “Monster” edition of the Dimensity 9500 chipset, paired with the company’s self-developed Q3 gaming chip. The post further claims that the device delivered strong gaming performance during early testing.
According to the shared benchmark details, the iQOO 15T achieved an average frame rate of 60.2fps while running Genshin Impact for 30 minutes at 60fps+ extreme settings in a 26-degree room temperature environment. The test also reportedly recorded a 1% low frame rate of 57.8fps, a minimum frame rate of 58fps, and an average power consumption of 4.99W
Coming back to the China Telecom listing, it also reveals May 20 as the iQOO 15T’s release date. The said event will also see the arrival of other devices, such as the iQOO Pad 6 Pro and TWS 5i earbuds.
It will arrive in multiple configurations, including 8GB+256GB, 12GB+256GB, 12GB+512GB, 16GB+256GB, and 16GB+512GB. It will pack a massive 8,000mAh battery with support for 100W wired charging. Reports suggest that it may lack wireless charging support.
The iQOO 15T will measure 163.37 x 76.71 x 8.25 grams and weigh 216 grams. It will be sold in finishes, such as Qingyun, Track Edition, and Legendary Edition.

DJI is preparing to take the Pocket series in a slightly different direction this year. After several teasers on Chinese social media, the company has now confirmed that the upcoming Osmo Pocket 4P, sometimes shortened to Pocket 4 Pro, will launch globally. And unlike previous Pocket models, this one is focusing heavily on zoom and more flexible shooting options.
The biggest addition is a dedicated telephoto camera
The Pocket 4P keeps the same 1-inch primary sensor introduced on the standard Osmo Pocket 4, but adds a secondary 3x telephoto lens to the setup. That may not sound revolutionary on paper, but for a compact gimbal camera like this, it’s actually a pretty meaningful change.
One of the biggest limitations of previous Pocket models was that everything had to be shot through a single wide-angle lens. It worked well for vlogging, but portraits, tighter framing, and cinematic shots often relied heavily on digital zoom or cropping. The new telephoto camera changes that.
Early hands-on clips from China suggest the telephoto lens sits around a 70mm equivalent focal length and may use a fairly large 1/1.5-inch sensor. Reports also mention up to 6x “lossless” zoom and 12x maximum zoom overall, which should make the camera much more versatile for travel videos, interviews, and street-style shooting.
Outside of the second camera, the Pocket 4P seems to build directly on the standard Pocket 4. That model already introduced a few major upgrades compared to the Pocket 3, including 240fps recording at 4K, upgraded ActiveTrack, and a brighter rotating display. The upcoming Pocket 4P keeps all of that while adding the extra telephoto hardware. And of course, the signature 3-axis mechanical gimbal is still here, which remains one of the biggest reasons people buy Pocket cameras in the first place.
DJI has been teasing the device with the slogan “See More, Tell More,” which is honestly a pretty accurate summary of what this model seems designed for.
The rollout appears to start in China before expanding globally later. DJI pages for the device have already surfaced in markets like Canada and Mexico. Availability in the US is less clear, though. Similar to some recent DJI products, the Pocket 4P is reportedly facing regulatory hurdles tied to FCC authorization, and at least for now, it doesn’t appear on DJI’s US website.
The MacBook Neo has been a huge hit for Apple, but the surge in demand has also led the company to rethink its chip production strategy. According to a WSJ report, Apple and Intel have just made a “preliminary” chipmaking deal through which Intel’s fabs will be used to manufacture some of the chips that power Apple devices, and that could also include the A27 chips powering the next-gen MacBook Neo.
Taiwanese chip giant TSMC has been exclusively manufacturing Apple chips for years, but its capacity remains tight due to unprecedented demand for artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) chips. Therefore, Apple diversifying its chip production partners will help the brand secure additional supply for its entry-level and mainstream-focused chips.
The A18 chip that powers the MacBook Neo and iPhone 16 series is currently manufactured using TSMC’s N3B process technology. That too isn’t unaffected by the ongoing chip shortages, and this has led to a $100 increase in the MacBook Neo’s price, which is a big hike for a $599 product. The deal with Intel will help Apple ensure an optimal quantity of upcoming MacBook Neo laptops in the market.
Apple was also reportedly in talks with Samsung for its chip needs. That could be seen as a backup option in case the need arises. For Intel, this is less about reviving the ‘Intel Inside’ era and more about proving its factories can compete with the world’s best.
Samsung has officially announced that it will stop selling TVs and home appliances in mainland China. The decision follows growing pressure from local Chinese brands that now dominate the country’s consumer electronics market.
The company said the move was made due to “rapidly changing market conditions.” Samsung’s official China website now displays a notice confirming the change. However, the company clarified that after-sales service and customer support will continue normally for existing customers.

TVs, Refrigerators & More Affected
Samsung will discontinue local sales of several products in China, including televisions, monitors, refrigerators, washing machines, dryers, air conditioners, vacuum cleaners, and air purifiers.
Despite this major withdrawal, Samsung smartphones will still remain available in China. However, the company’s smartphone business has also struggled heavily against domestic Chinese brands and Apple. Samsung once held nearly 20% of China’s smartphone market in the early 2010s, but its share has now reportedly fallen below 1%.
Chinese Brands Continue Growing
Chinese electronics companies have rapidly improved product quality while also offering aggressive pricing. Faster innovation cycles and strong domestic brand loyalty made it increasingly difficult for Samsung to compete in the region.
Samsung’s manufacturing operations in China will continue, as the company still produces devices there for overseas markets.
Samsung Focuses More on AI & Semiconductors
While leaving China’s appliance market, Samsung is seeing massive growth in its semiconductor business. The company is increasingly focusing on AI-related technologies and high-performance memory chips.
In the first quarter of 2026, Samsung reported revenue of 133.87 trillion won and operating profit of 57.23 trillion won. Its semiconductor division alone contributed 61% of the company’s total revenue, driven by booming global AI demand.
