JBL has announced the launch of the Music Horizon 3 Bluetooth speaker in China. The multifunctional bedside device is now available for 1,099 yuan ($153) and serves as both a Bluetooth speaker and an alarm clock with FM radio support.
JBL Horizon 3 Specifications
The Horizon 3 features two 1.5-inch full-range drivers and dual passive radiators. JBL claims this setup delivers stereo audio with enhanced bass response, suitable for small to mid-sized rooms.
The speaker supports Bluetooth 5.3 for wireless streaming and FM radio playback using a bundled pig-tail antenna. The FM feature depends on local signal strength and allows users to set radio channels as alarm sounds.
JBL has equipped the Horizon 3 with a large digital display that shows the time clearly and adjusts its brightness according to ambient lighting conditions. The speaker includes a rotary knob and soft-touch controls for easy operation, even in low-light settings.
The device doubles as a customizable nightlight, with adjustable color temperature and brightness via the JBL One app. It includes a “Sunrise Wake-Up Alarm” that gradually brightens the light before triggering the alarm tone or FM radio. The alarm system also allows weekday scheduling and sunrise-style effects.
The speaker supports ambient sound playback for sleep assistance. By pressing and holding the main knob, users can activate sleep mode and choose from options like ocean waves, rainfall, or forest sounds.
The product measures 209 x 137 x 83 mm and weighs 0.78 kg. JBL states that it used recycled materials in the device and eco-friendly packaging with FSC-certified paper and soy-based ink.
The Google Pixel Watch 4 is set to launch on August 20, 2025, and if fresh leaks are anything to go by, buyers may not have to worry about a price hike this year. With details now surfacing for both sizes and connectivity options, the upcoming smartwatch seems on track to match the Pixel Watch 3’s pricing — which could make it a solid value pick in 2025.
According to known leaker billbil-kun, who shared the info on July 18, the 41mm Pixel Watch 4 with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi is expected to start at €399. The LTE version, featuring eSIM support, will reportedly cost €499. Meanwhile, the larger 45mm model is said to be priced at €449 for Wi-Fi and €549 for LTE, keeping the usual €100 gap between the Wi-Fi and LTE variants — as also spotted by Dealabs.
These leaked prices line up closely with the Pixel Watch 3’s launch prices: $349 / €399 (41mm Wi-Fi), $449 / €499 (41mm LTE), $399 / €449 (45mm Wi-Fi), and $499 / €549 (45mm LTE). So, while official US pricing isn’t confirmed yet, it’s likely Google won’t bump prices in major markets like the US or UK.
As for the watch itself, the Pixel Watch 4 keeps the Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 processor but adds a new co-processor to handle AI features — like Gemini integration — with better efficiency. The display reportedly gets a boost too, with a 3,000-nit AMOLED LTPO panel (up from 2,000 nits). Battery capacity also sees a modest increase: 327mAh for the 41mm model and 459mAh for the 45mm, which could deliver up to two days of battery life, according to Android Headlines.
With pricing leaked and some notable upgrades in tow, the Pixel Watch 4 could shape up as a competitive option — especially against rivals like Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 8. Here’s everything we know so far about the upcoming watches from Google.
Samsung’s new Galaxy Z Fold7 has turned heads with its slim 8.9mm folded profile and reduced crease visibility. But early reports of some units not opening fully flat have caught the attention of both fans and critics. So, is this a sign of trouble or just a minor quirk?
Since the Fold7 hit US stores last week, a few users — including those on Reddit — have pointed out that some demo units at retail stores weren’t opening completely flat. One post showed a Fold7 display stuck at around 170-165 degrees. Multiple users confirmed seeing a similar issue, though others chimed in saying their experience was fine.
While demo units often take a beating from curious shoppers, some feel it’s a bit early for hinge issues to show up. The timing feels premature for any wear-related problems.
The company says the Flex Hinge is designed to open between 178.5 and 181.5 degrees. If a unit doesn’t meet that range, it qualifies for a warranty replacement — something a few Reddit users highlighted from Samsung’s customer support responses.
Speculations suggest the issue could be down to mishandled demo phones or quality control issues associated with individual units. The phone is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite and a 4,400mAh battery.
At this point, only demo units have been available for brief hands-on experiences, and there’s no clear sign of a design flaw. Samsung appears to be monitoring user feedback, and unless more reports emerge, this seems to be an isolated case of hinge variance or demo unit mishandling
If you’re reading this later and facing the same issue, it’s worth reaching out to Samsung support — you might be eligible for a warranty claim.

Anker has expanded its desktop charging lineup with the launch of the 7-in-1 Nano Charging Station. It is priced at $89.99 in the U.S. and is designed to declutter desk setups while providing fast and intelligent charging for multiple devices simultaneously.
Anker 7-in-1 Nano Charging Station Specifications
The charging station includes three USB-C ports, one USB-A port, and three AC outlets located on the rear. Two of the USB-C ports feature built-in retractable cables that extend up to 2.3 feet.
Each cable locks into place when extended and retracts with magnetic-assisted tension when not in use. Anker has designed the mechanism to withstand frequent use while minimizing wear.
The device supports a maximum USB-C output of 100W for single-device charging. It can charge a 16-inch MacBook Pro to 50% in approximately 35 minutes. When multiple devices are connected, the power output is intelligently distributed. Two USB-C devices can share between 50W and 88W, while all four USB ports combined cap at a total of 30W when in use simultaneously.
The station comes with a 1.3-inch LCD display on the front that shows real-time power usage and charging status. It also shows how much power each device is drawing and can assist in balancing connected loads.
Anker has also integrated its most advanced GaN-powered system and thermal management to ensure performance and safety. The Nano Charging Station uses ActiveShield 3.0, which monitors temperature over six million times per day, about 80 times per second, and activates internal cooling when high temperatures are detected. This helps maintain optimal operation during heavy usage.
In terms of safety, it includes a full suite of protections: over-temperature control, overcurrent protection, overvoltage protection, short-circuit protection, static resistance, grounded protection, surge protection, and fire resistance. These measures ensure that devices remain protected even during extended or high-load charging sessions.
The Nano Charging Station is aimed at remote workers, students, and professionals who want to maintain a tidy, efficient workspace. The product adopts a clean, black design and a compact footprint that makes it easy to fit on desks or shared work surfaces without taking up much room.
Anker is currently selling the charging station on Amazon.

OnePlus unveiled the OnePlus Pad 3 flagship tablet with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip onboard, along with the OnePlus 13s, in June this year. However, the brand did not reveal its price and availability for the Indian market. Now, it has been confirmed when it will be available for purchase in India, along with its colour variants and configurations.
OnePlus Pad 3 availability confirmed
OnePlus Pad 3’s open sale will begin in September in India
According to OnePlus, the OnePlus Pad 3’s open sale will begin in September of this year. The tablet will be available in two configurations: 12GB+256GB and 16GB+512GB. It will be sold in two shades, such as Storm Blue and Frosted Silver. As far as pricing is concerned, the brand said that it will be revealed in the coming weeks.
OnePlus Pad 3 specifications
The OnePlus Pad 3 is equipped with a 13.2-inch LCD panel that supports a 3.4K resolution, a 144Hz refresh rate, and up to 900nits of brightness. Under the hood, the device features the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, LPDDR5x (12GB) / LPDDR5T (16GB) RAM, and up to 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage.

Samsung’s Fan Edition lineup is about to grow. The Galaxy Buds 3 FE are expected to launch later in 2025, and leaked details suggest they may have a real edge over the regular Buds 3 — better noise isolation.
Galaxy Buds 3 FE (leaked render)
On July 19, 2025, leaker Evan Blass shared the first image of the Buds 3 FE on X. The design looks similar to the Buds 3 and Buds 3 Pro, with stems for touch controls like volume and playback. But unlike the open-fit Buds 3, the Buds 3 FE will use silicone ear tips — a simple change that could make a big difference.
A snug in-ear fit often means better passive noise isolation and, by extension, more effective active noise cancellation (ANC). That’s something the Buds 3 reportedly struggle with, given their open design.
The Buds 3 FE are also expected to bring ANC, Ambient Mode, improved battery life, and possibly Galaxy AI features like real-time translation through Interpreter Mode. Add in Bixby support, an equalizer via the Galaxy Wearable app, Bluetooth 5.4 with LE Audio, and they’re shaping up to be an appealing option in the budget wireless earbud space.
Galaxy Buds 3 (Image: Samsung)
As for pricing, rumors suggest a range of $99 to $129, with a possible launch alongside the Galaxy S25 FE.
With their in-ear tips, ANC, AI features, and a sub-$130 price point, the Buds 3 FE could end up being the better pick for users who care about sound isolation. Expect more details closer to their late 2025 release.
As expected, the last quarter of the year is anticipated to see the arrival of multiple flagship and sub-flagship phones in the Chinese market. In a new leak, tipster Digital Chat Station has mentioned the launch timeframes of the expected smartphones. Here’s a look at all the details shared by the tipster.
3November–December launches
Then, moving into November and December, we can expect the rollout of final flagship devices for the year as well as mid-range phones, featuring chips like the SM8845 and D8500. The SM8845’s final moniker is not known, but there’s a possibility that it could be called the Snapdragon 8 Plus / Turbo and is expected to bridge the gap between Snapdragon 8 Elite and Snapdragon 8s Gen 4.
Recent reports have revealed that the Redmi K90 Pro and Honor GT 2 series are expected to feature the Snapdragon 8845 chip. Based on recent reports, it can be said that the Chinese market will see the arrival of the Oppo Reno 15 series, Vivo X31 (or S30) series, iQOO Neo 11 (or Neo 20) lineup, Realme Neo 8 series, OnePlus Ace 6 lineup, and Redmi Turbo 5.

Vivo X200 FE is a solid budget flagship that brings a lot to the table, like a high-quality AMOLED display, a powerful MediaTek processor, and a massive 6,500mAh long-lasting battery — all at a starting price of INR 55,000. However, that’s far from being the only showstopper at this price point, as we’ve found four excellent alternatives that give the X200 FE a serious run for its money.
It’s a strong contender in this price segment, featuring a more powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset than the Vivo X200 FE’s Dimensity 9300+. This means better gaming, multitasking, and a seamless software experience. Both phones have great AMOLED screens. The difference being higher peak brightness on the Vivo phone, but at 3200nits, the Xiaomi 15 offers great visibility outdoors. Plus, the latter offers a wider range of colors and Dolby Vision support.
The Xiaomi 15 has a more robust camera setup, featuring a higher resolution ultrawide camera and support for 8K video recording (versus 4K on the X200 FE). Another perk is its newer USB technology, which enables much faster data transfer. The only trade-off is the smaller 5,240mAh battery, but Xiaomi makes up for it with 50W wireless and 10W reverse wireless charging — both missing on the Vivo phone.
OnePlus 13s also uses the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, offering a clear performance edge over the Vivo phone. Its display is mostly the same in size and resolution, though it has a slightly lower peak brightness. On the plus side, it supports Dolby Vision and offers a clean software experience.
It lacks an ultrawide camera but features two solid 50MP sensors and supports 4K video recording from both front and rear cameras. There’s not much difference on the connectivity front, except for a newer Bluetooth standard on the OnePlus 13s. The battery capacity sits at 5,850mAh, lower than X200 FE, but still higher than most flagships.
If display and performance are your priorities, the iQOO 13 delivers big. It features a larger 6.82-inch AMOLED panel with higher resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate.
It’s also powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite and comes with a triple 50MP rear camera setup capable of 8K video recording. On top of that, it supports super-fast 120W charging. The battery is slightly smaller than Vivo’s, but it’s solid at 6,000 (India) or 6,150mAh (global). On the plus side, it supports superior wired charging, a newer Bluetooth standard, and 360-degree NFC support.
Realme GT 7 Pro boasts one of the brightest displays in any smartphone today, peaking at 6,500nits. It also features a larger screen with Dolby Vision support and a powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset.
Both phones have triple rear cameras, including a 50MP primary shooter, a 50MP telephoto unit, and an 8MP ultrawide camera. On the plus side, it supports 8K video recording. The 16MP selfie camera with 1080p recording can be a little disappointing, though. The global model matches the Vivo X200 FE in battery size, while the Indian model has a slightly smaller battery but faster 120W wired charging.

The Vivo X200 FE is a capable device, but it faces tough competition from phones that offer faster processors, better camera setups, brighter displays, and faster charging — all within a similar price range. If you’re looking to get more bang for your buck, the Xiaomi 15 and iQOO 13 stand out for their all-around strengths, while the Realme GT 7 Pro steals the show with its blazing display, faster chipset, and fast charging support. The OnePlus 13s combines the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset with a clean software experience.
The Oppo K13 Turbo series of smartphones will be unveiled on the coming Monday (July 21) in China. This will be the first time that the brand will be launching performance-focused smartphones. Recently, the K13 Turbo Pro, equipped with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip, was spotted on the Geekbench benchmarking platform. Now, the standard K13 Turbo has emerged on Geekbench, revealing its chipset, RAM, and Android version.

The Oppo K13 Turbo has been spotted with the 3.25GHz Dimens ity 8450 chipset, 12GB RAM, and Android 15 on Geekbench. The device scored 1126 and 4999 points in the single-core and multi-core tests, respectively.
Oppo has already confirmed that the K13 Turbo will be available in three configurations, such as 12GB+256GB, 12GB+512GB, and 16GB+256GB. On the other hand, the K13 Turbo Pro will be available in the same configurations, along with an additional higher 16GB+512GB variant. Both phones will come in black and purple shades. While the K13 Turbo will come in a white model, the Turbo Pro edition will have a silver option.
Oppo K13 Turbo series specifications (rumored)
As per reports, the Oppo K13 Turbo series will feature a 6.8-inch OLED panel that supports a 1.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. For photography, it will feature a 16-megapixel front camera and a 50-megapixel + 2-megapixel dual-camera setup.
The Oppo K13 Turbo is said to be equipped with a 7000mAh battery with 80W charging. These performance-focused smartphones are also equipped with an active cooling fan and RGB lighting.

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7, launched on July 9, 2025, have impressed foldable fans — but fixing their screens might leave you with sticker shock. With repair costs that rival the price of a new mid-range phone, Samsung Care+ could be a smart investment for owners of these premium devices.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7
According to a European parts supplier cited by SamMobile, replacing the Z Fold7’s inner display costs a hefty €761 (around $890). Even swapping the smaller cover screen isn’t cheap at €525 (roughly $611). For the Galaxy Z Flip7, the foldable panel is priced at €342 ($400), while the 4.1-inch FlexWindow cover display costs €207 ($240). These prices don’t include labor charges for third-party repairs — meaning the final bill could be even higher.
Samsung’s regular warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, which makes Samsung Care+ a tempting option. The Z Fold7’s Care+ plan costs $13 per month or $259 annually, while the Z Flip7’s plan is $10 per month or $169 per year. Both offer unlimited same-day repairs for screens or back glass with a $29 deductible per visit.
While Samsung touts durability upgrades, accidental drops and mishaps remain a real risk. Considering how quickly smartphones depreciate, paying out of pocket for screen repairs might even cost more than replacing the device.
Samsung is also expected to offer a one-time discounted inner screen replacement on eligible purchases — similar to its Galaxy Z Assurance program for the Galaxy Z Flip6 and Fold6.
With inner screen repairs for the Z Fold7 reaching up to $890 and the Z Flip7 topping $400, a protection plan like Samsung Care+ seems worth a closer look. You can find the details on Samsung’s official website.
Samsung’s upcoming tri-fold is making headlines lately, and for good reason. The company’s first triple-display foldable seems closer than ever to launch, and it has recently been revealed to carry the name Galaxy Z TriFold. Now, a new beta version of Samsung’s One UI 8 software may have just confirmed what’s powering it.
According to a report fromAndroid Authority, a code string found in the latest One UI 8 beta includes a snippet “siop_q7mq_sm8750.” The “q7mq” part is believed to reference the Z TriFold itself, while SM8750 is the model number for Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite.
We are not surprised
That lines up with expectations. Samsung already uses the same flagship chip in its Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7, so it’s no surprise the tri-fold would follow suit. But it’s still a solid confirmation that Samsung isn’t holding back on performance for its most ambitious foldable yet.
If true, the Snapdragon 8 Elite could give the Z TriFold a major edge over Huawei’s Mate XT in terms of performance. It is powered by a 7nm Kirin 9010 chip, which operates at a maximum frequency of just 2.3GHz. By comparison, Qualcomm’s latest flagship reaches up to 4.47GHz on its prime core. It’s not even close.
Huawei is reportedly prepping a second-gen tri-fold for late 2025, likely powered by the Kirin 9020. But with a max clock speed of just 2.5GHz, even the updated chip may struggle to keep up with Qualcomm’s silicon.
Of course, hardware is only half the story. A seamless tri-fold experience will require software that knows how to make use of three screens, not just stretch apps across them.
Huawei has made strides on that front with its in-house HarmonyOS Next system. Now it’ll be interesting to see how Samsung plans to take advantage of the three displays on the Z TriFold.
Samsung is finally stepping up its customization game with a Glass UI effect, now available through its Theme Park app — and it looks like a direct response to Apple’s much-talked-about “Liquid Glass” design in iOS 26. While Samsung initially poked fun at Apple, it seems to be borrowing a page from its rival’s playbook — but with a more flexible approach.
The latest Theme Park update (version 1.1.01.23) rolled out on July 18, adding five new icon effects: Basic, Film Grain, Duotone, Glass, and Gradient. Unlike Apple’s Liquid Glass, which is still fine-tuning how visible icons appear on different backgrounds, Samsung’s take lets users tweak nearly every aspect of the look — including icons for third-party apps.
With the new Glass effect, you can adjust icon transparency, glow, hue, saturation, and even match them perfectly with your wallpaper for a clean, futuristic feel. Even notifications get a translucent makeover. And the best part? You don’t need a system update — it works right within One UI 8 on devices like the Galaxy S25 series and Z Fold 7.
Here’s how to set it up:
Just open Theme Park, tap “Create Theme”, head to the “Icon” tab, and select “Glass” from the dropdown. You’ll get sliders to fine-tune the effect until your icons blend seamlessly with your background. It’s a simple tweak that can completely change the vibe of your home screen.
The Theme Park update, now live, brings a slick glass-like aesthetic to Galaxy devices without the hassle. You can grab it through Samsung’s Galaxy Store or sideload the APK if it’s not yet available in your region.
Oppo seems ready to shake up smartphone photography once again. The upcoming Find X9 Ultra, expected in early 2026, is making headlines — not just for its upgraded cameras, but for a rumored Hasselblad Photography Kit that could take mobile shooting to a new level.

According to well-known Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station, the Find X9 series will build on Oppo’s partnership with Hasselblad, first seen with the Find X8 lineup. The Ultra model is tipped to feature a 200MP main camera, a 50MP periscope telephoto, and a 50MP ultrawide — a setup that promises serious image power. But what’s grabbing attention is talk of a dedicated Hasselblad Photography Kit, possibly offering snap-on lenses or accessories, similar to the Vivo X200 Ultra’s Zeiss kit. If true, Oppo could be setting its sights on camera-focused flagships like the Xiaomi 15 Ultra.

There’s more. Oppo is reportedly working on a MagSafe-style magnetic system for Android, using a thin 0.2mm magnetic ring on the rear panel. This would support 50W AirVOOC wireless charging, making for a sleek, snap-on charging experience. Paired with rumors of a MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chip, a 6.82-inch 2K+ OLED display, and a hefty 6,000mAh battery, the Find X9 Ultra could be packing some serious hardware.
Oppo’s collaboration with Hasselblad is also set to continue into 2026, blending Oppo’s AI Bokeh Engine with Hasselblad’s color tuning to deliver more lifelike photos. However, it’s unclear if sister brand OnePlus will stick with Hasselblad for its upcoming OnePlus 15.
If the leaks hold true, the Find X9 Ultra could redefine what a flagship camera phone offers — not just with specs, but with pro-grade accessories and thoughtful design. Oppo’s official reveal is expected in Q1 2026.
Samsung has finally launched the Galaxy A56 in the US, marking the return of its premium A-series lineup to American markets. While it brings a solid set of features, its price tag has stirred up some debate.

Starting at $499 for the 128GB model — or $549 if you want 256GB of storage — the Galaxy A56 is available in Lightgray and Graphite. It runs on Samsung’s new Exynos 1580 chipset and features a 6.7-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a 5,000mAh battery with 45W fast charging, and a triple rear camera setup (50MP main, 12MP ultrawide, and 5MP macro). Out of the box, it runs Android 15 with One UI 7 and promises six years of updates, plus AI features like Object Eraser and Circle to Search.
But there are some notable omissions — the A56 skips on wireless charging and Samsung DeX, both of which you’ll find on the Galaxy S24 FE.
And that’s where the comparison gets tricky. The S24 FE, with its flagship-grade Exynos 2400e, IP68 water resistance, and wireless charging, originally launched at $649. However, recent discounts have brought it down to around $525 (128GB) or $585 (256GB) — making it a tempting alternative for buyers eyeing the A56. The S24 FE also features a much better display — Dynamic AMOLED 2X as compared to A56’s Super AMOLED. The FE model also offers full Galaxy AI support and DeX, giving it an edge not just on the spec sheet, but also in day-to-day use.
With both phones now priced within $25–$30 of each other, the A56’s $499 tag feels a bit steep, especially when the S24 FE offers much better performance and features. Unless Samsung trims the A56’s price in the coming weeks, many buyers may see better value in the discounted S24 FE.

DOOGEE has officially unveiled its latest tablet lineup, the Tab E3 Series, targeting users who crave large screens, reliable performance, and smart multitasking tools. The series includes three models, Tab E3, Tab E3 Pro, and Tab E3 Max, each catering to different levels of usage, from casual entertainment to professional productivity.
Bigger, Smarter Displays Across the Range
The Tab E3 Series focuses heavily on screen size and quality. The base Tab E3 offers an 11-inch FHD+ display with a smooth 90Hz refresh rate, providing a fluid viewing experience for streaming and casual gaming. The E3 Pro takes it a step further with a 13-inch ultra-clear screen, ideal for those who need more space for creative tasks or media playback. At the top end, the E3 Max features a 14-inch 2.1K IPS display, delivering sharp visuals and ample room for split-screen multitasking.
All three models are equipped with eye protection mode, dark mode, and automatic brightness adjustment, ensuring a comfortable viewing experience whether used during the day or night.
Quad Speaker Audio and 3.5mm Jack Support
Audio quality is another standout feature of the Tab E3 Series. The base Tab E3 comes with dual 1217 BOX surround speakers, offering clear stereo output. For a more immersive sound experience, the E3 Pro and E3 Max are upgraded to quad 1217 BOX speakers, filling the room with richer, fuller audio, perfect for movies and games. All models also retain a 3.5mm headphone jack, giving users more flexibility for personal listening.
Massive Battery Life with Fast Charging Support
DOOGEE has equipped each tablet with a large battery to support heavy usage. The Tab E3 houses an 8800mAh battery, while the E3 Pro and E3 Max are fitted with 11000mAh and 13500mAh batteries, respectively. All three devices support 18W fast charging, minimizing downtime and making them ideal companions for on-the-go users who need extended performance.
Strong Performance Backed by Helio G100
All three models run on the MediaTek Helio G100 processor, designed to deliver smooth performance across apps and games. Each tablet features 8GB base RAM, which can be virtually extended up to 32GB, along with 256GB of internal storage. This combination supports heavy multitasking and storage-heavy tasks like media editing or app management.
With support for stylus input, split-screen functionality, and preloaded tools like WPS Office, the tablets are built for productivity just as much as entertainment.
Android 15 with Built-in AI Tools
The Tab E3 Series comes preloaded with Android 15 and features DOOGEE’s integration of Gemini AI. Users benefit from AI-generated notes, smarter search functions, and intelligent organization tools, all designed to streamline workflows and enhance efficiency. This AI focus sets the E3 tablets apart in the mid-range tablet market.
Versatile Camera Setup with Smart Tools
The Tab E3 and E3 Pro both feature a 13MP rear camera, while the front cameras differ: 5MP on the Tab E3 and 8MP on the E3 Pro. The E3 Max improves on this with a 16MP rear camera and 8MP front camera, making it the best option for video calls or quick content creation. Additional features like Google Smart Camera, face unlock, and FM radio enhance the usability and convenience of the camera setup.
For users seeking a ready-to-go workstation, DOOGEE offers a VIP Edition bundle that includes a stylus, Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, tempered glass screen protector, and a premium leather cover. This makes the E3 Series especially attractive for students, professionals, and creators who need a full-featured setup without buying accessories separately.
