G-Shock Buying Guide 2026: How to Choose the Best G-Shock Watch

-

Oct 24, 2026

Casio is bringing a new set of analog watches to the US market with the release of the G-Shock GAC2500 series. Scheduled to launch on November 6th for $145, the lineup consists of four models that recently debuted in Japan. The series uses the familiar octagonal case shape seen on many of the company’s recent releases, but it relies entirely on a traditional analog layout rather than a digital or hybrid display.

Design Details

The GAC2500 features a straightforward dial designed for everyday timekeeping. It includes standard hour and minute hands, a small subdial for tracking seconds, and a three-cell date window. Casio has matched the date window’s color to the dial, giving the watch a clean, uniform appearance without unnecessary visual clutter.

The watch will be available in four colors: black (GAC-2500-1A), dark green (GAC-2500-3A), white (GAC-2500-7A), and yellow (GAC-2500-9A). Both the case and the band are manufactured from bio-based resin.

The watch features a magnetic holding mechanism designed to absorb shocks and vibrations. Unlike traditional watches, the minute hand is held in place by magnetic force rather than being rigidly attached to the central shaft.

Casio says that the minute hand may temporarily shift or shake when exposed to strong impacts or heavy vibrations. However, the magnetic system automatically realigns the hand to its correct position within a few minutes.

To help manage battery life, the watch includes a sleep function for the second hand. You can manually stop the small seconds subdial from moving, which helps extend the life of the standard CR1025 battery to an estimated two years.

In terms of physical specs, the GAC2500 measures 46.7 x 44.5 x 12.7 mm and weighs just 47 grams. The watch offers Casio’s signature durability features, including shock resistance and 200 meters of water resistance.

It also comes with an amber LED light for visibility in low-light conditions, a 30-minute stopwatch, and a hand-shift function that temporarily moves the main hands aside when they obstruct the date window or subdial.

In related news, Casio has recently launched three lightweight GMA-S160 watches in the US with a minimalist design, alongside three affordable MDV106C dive watches featuring 200-meter water resistance.

Oct 24, 2026

Earlier this month, OnePlus and Oppo announced their ColorOS 17 rollout schedule, with the initial devices planned to receive the update on October 29th. However, users have already started to receive the Android 17-based major upgrade with tons of upgrades and new features.

OnePlus 15 gets stable ColorOS 17 update ahead of the schedule

OnePlus has officially confirmed the ColorOS 17 release for the OnePlus 15 via a post on the community forum. The rollout is currently limited to India, which comes with the firmware version CPH2745_17.0.0.102(EX01). For the beta users, the update package is a smaller one — about 540MB, while other users will receive a massive package with over 3.5GB in download size.

If you have a OnePlus 15, navigate to Settings > System & Updates > Software update to manually check for updates if you have yet to receive an update notification.

If you don’t see an update there, try the Release Candidate Program by going to Settings > System & Updates > Software update > Beta Program and tapping the “update now”.

Oppo is sending updates to both beta and non-beta users. Those who have already installed ColorOS 17 beta should receive a smaller update with a download size just around 500MB, while other users will receive a hefty update, about 3.5GB.

Now, Realme is left to push the ColorOS 17 rollout, which could happen anytime now. We’ll continue to track rollouts and update you on this website.

Several iPhone Duo screen broke along the hinge within hours of first sale

iPhone Duo vs Galaxy Z Fold 8: Apple Finally Takes on Samsung

Oct 24, 2026

Apple’s first foldable phone only went on sale yesterday (October 23), and a handful of owners are already reporting problems with the inner display.

iPhone Duo showing a bright vertical line of dead pixels along the central hinge area.

Photos and posts started showing up on Reddit and X within hours of launch. Almost every case looks the same: a crack or a bright line of dead/bright pixels running right along the fold, near the hinge.

One of the more detailed accounts comes from an owner in Australia. He said he’d only had the phone for about six hours and had opened it fewer than 20 times. While showing it to a friend, he felt something under the screen near the internal hinge, heard a clear crack as he kept opening it, and the display split along the fold. There were no marks on the screen or the outside of the hinge that suggested anything had been caught or damaged. An Apple Store swapped the phone out for him on the spot.

Similar photos have also appeared from China (where the Duo launched a bit earlier). Some of those look like they might be from demo units that get handled a lot, so it’s harder to know exactly what happened. A few early reviewers who deliberately folded their units hundreds of times haven’t reported the same issue, but that sample is still small.

Also Read

It’s still way too early to say how common this is. And honestly, some early hiccups like this are almost expected with a first-generation foldable. The important part is whether affected owners get their devices fixed or replaced free of cost. Apple hasn’t said anything publicly yet as of writing. They’d probably be collecting the affected units for analysis, which could lead to manufacturing tweaks in later generations.

If the phone fails under normal use, it should be covered by the standard one-year warranty. Anyone who got theirs on launch day also has the usual two-week return window. Outside of that, though, an out-of-warranty inner display replacement is listed at $999, so anyone without AppleCare+ could eventually face a steep bill if the issue appears later.

OnePlus Ace 7 and Ace 7 Pro Roundup: Everything you need to know before launch

By

OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra vs OnePlus Ace 6: Are the Upgrades Really Worth the Extra Money?

-

Oct 24, 2026

OnePlus will launch the Ace 7 and Ace 7 Pro in China on October 29 at 7 PM local time (4:30 PM in India). The company confirmed the launch date this week, and reservations for both phones have been open on its Chinese online store since October 16.

Now that buyers can reserve the phones ahead of launch, OnePlus has been revealing more details about what they will offer. The new phones follow the OnePlus Ace 6 with a 165Hz display, a 7,800mAh battery, a 50MP + 8MP rear camera setup, and a 16MP selfie camera. The Ace 7 series is tipped to bring a faster 185Hz display, a battery capacity of around 9,000mAh, and a 200MP main camera. Its biggest addition is an active cooling fan, which would be a first for a OnePlus phone.

Here’s what OnePlus has confirmed so far and what recent leaks suggest about each model.

Two OnePlus Ace 7 smartphones in gradient colors floating against a white background.

Prev Next

1. What OnePlus has confirmed

OnePlus has confirmed two different processors for the lineup. The Ace 7 will use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 V, while the Ace 7 Pro gets the standard Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. Both phones will also include the company’s Wind-Chaser gaming engine and a built-in fan with a dual-airflow cooling system.

OnePlus China president Li Jie explained the cooling setup in a Weibo post. The system uses separate airflow paths to cool the chipset and the rear panel. The air intake is away from the spots where your fingers rest in landscape mode, so you won’t block it while gaming, and the exhaust pushes hot air upward instead of into your palms.

OnePlus calls it an industry-first “Dual-Path Glacier Air Cooling System” and says temperatures stay up to 10 degrees Celsius lower during long gaming sessions.

2. OnePlus Ace 7 Pro

The Ace 7 Pro is the more powerful model, carrying the model number PMS110 and device code OP64F1L1. It runs the full Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 (SM8850), the same chip you get in the OnePlus 15, and Geekbench listings show it with 16GB of RAM and Android 17, and you can expect ColorOS 17 on top.

The phone is tipped to feature a 6.78-inch flat LTPS OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 185Hz refresh rate. The device is even tipped to support a 240Hz refresh rate, although 185Hz is said to be the guaranteed minimum.

As for the camera setup, the Ace 7 Pro is expected to feature a 200MP main camera with optical image stabilization, alongside a 50MP periscope telephoto camera with 3.5x optical zoom. The telephoto camera is reportedly equipped with Samsung’s ISOCELL JN5 sensor. The front is expected to have a 16MP selfie camera.

Also Read

Powering the phone could be a 9,000mAh cell, with reports pointing to either 100W or 120W wired charging. The built-in cooling fan will reportedly work with an AI temperature sensor to manage heat.

3. OnePlus Ace 7

The standard Ace 7 carries the model number PYF110 and device code OP68BBL1. It uses the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 V, a lower-tier version of the Pro model’s processor.

The display is expected to match the Pro model, with a 6.78-inch flat OLED panel offering 1.5K resolution and a 185Hz refresh rate. The standard model is also tipped to feature a 200MP main camera and a 16MP selfie camera, but it is not expected to include the Pro’s periscope telephoto lens.

Some reports mention a 200MP + 50MP rear camera combination for the series, although the identity of the second 50MP sensor on the standard Ace 7 remains unclear.

Like the Pro model, the Ace 7 is expected to pack a battery of around 9,000mAh and support either 100W or 120W wired charging, depending on which report proves accurate. One leak also mentions water resistance but does not provide an official rating.

There was initially some uncertainty about whether the standard model would get the built-in fan. However, OnePlus’ teasers for the series indicate both phones will feature the cooling system.

4. How the cooling fan works

A leaked schematic shared by Digital Chat Station provides a closer look at the cooling system. It shows two separate airflow paths, one for the processor and another for the rear panel.

The design directs hot air out through the sides, away from the user’s hands, while cooler air moves downward through the system. The setup is also said to include an AI temperature sensor, patented technology, and measures to reduce fan noise and prevent dust from entering.

If the system performs as OnePlus claims, it could help the phones sustain higher performance during longer gaming sessions. Actual temperatures and noise levels will need to be assessed after the devices launch.

5. Design

Both the Ace 7 and Ace 7 Pro share a similar design. The standard Ace 7 comes in Tempered, Midnight Black, and Glossy White. Meanwhile, the higher-end Ace 7 Pro gets Windbreaker, Midnight Black, and Lightning White.

The Tempered version of the Ace 7 has a silver finish that transitions into a warm copper-orange shade near the bottom. The Windbreaker version of the Ace 7 Pro has a light blue color with a frosted, brushed texture. Both feature large Ace lettering and the OnePlus logo on the rear panel.

The camera module sits in the upper-left corner. It consists of a raised metal square with rounded edges, housing a tall pill-shaped cutout, a smaller circular lens, and a ring-shaped element. The flash sits just outside the module.

6. Price and availability

OnePlus has not revealed pricing for the Ace 7 or Ace 7 Pro. The Ace series typically remains exclusive to China, and OnePlus withdrew from the US and European markets this year, so a wider Western release is unlikely.

For India, the Ace 7 Pro could launch as the OnePlus 16R at around Rs 75,000. This remains unconfirmed, though.

Honor 700 series to bring 200MP camera, built-in rear screen, and 9000mAh battery

6 flagship smartphones that you can’t buy in the US

Oct 24, 2026

Following an earlier leak about a 1.72-inch rear screen, prolific tipster Digital Chat Station has shared more details on the Honor 700 series. According to the tipster, the series carries the internal codename “Flora,” and the latest information comes from an engineering prototype. Honor tentatively plans to launch the phones in November, though the schedule could still change.

Honor 700 series specifications

The prototype has a 6.57-inch 1.5K display, which DCS describes as mid-size. Honor keeps the bezels ultra-narrow on all four sides, so the phone should feel compact for the screen you get.

The bigger change is on the back. DCS repeats that the phones have a 1.72-inch native rear screen, matching his earlier comments. Because the screen is built in, you no longer need the snap-on magnetic mini display that came with the Honor 600 series.

Honor 700 Pro series color and camera leak

The camera setup reportedly includes three rear cameras, led by a 200MP main sensor. DCS doesn’t name the sensor, so its size and other details remain unknown. Meanwhile, the Honor 700 Pro is also said to feature a 50MP periscope telephoto camera for better zoom.

Also Read

The battery is said to come in at around 9,000mAh, roughly 400mAh more than the 8,600mAh battery in the Chinese Honor 600 Super.

Honor is also said to be testing four colors for the 700 series: Cool White, Sky Blue, Azure and Pink Mist. However, the final color options may still differ when the phones launch.

The November launch is still tentative, and Honor hasn’t confirmed a date, a lineup, or any specs. Since these details come from an engineering prototype, some of them may change before the phones go on sale. We’ll update you as more leaks and official teasers appear.

Casio launches three lightweight GMA-S160 watches in the US with a minimalist design

Best Casio G-Shock Watches for Women for around $200

-

Oct 23, 2026

Casio has brought its GMA-S160 watch series to the US market. After an initial launch in Japan last month, the three new analog-digital models, available in black, navy, and white, are now on sale stateside for $145.

Casio GMA-S160 Specifications

Also Read

The main draw of the GMA-S160 is its reduced footprint. Casio is marketing this under its women’s line, focusing on a slimmer, more compact case than its existing GMA-P2100 models. The watch measures 40.7 x 35.7 x 10.8 mm and weighs just 31 grams. It is built for people who want the standard durability of a Casio watch but have smaller wrists or simply prefer a less bulky profile for daily wear.

Design-wise, Casio kept things relatively simple. The bezel and band have a matte finish, which is paired with a metallic dial and matching metal accents on the buckle and band loop. The overall look is minimal, avoiding the busy, text-heavy bezels found on many of the company’s other rugged watches.

Casio is also continuing its recent trend of using alternative materials. The main resin components in both the bezel and the band are made from bio-based resin.

Where to buy

Despite the smaller size, the internal specs are standard for this tier of Casio watches. The GMA-S160 maintains the company’s usual shock-resistant construction and 200-meter water resistance. The face features a traditional two-hand analog display alongside a small digital LCD screen that shows the hour, minute, second, date, and day of the week.

The watch also features a hand-shift function for better digital display visibility, dual time, a one-second stopwatch, an auto-calendar until 2099, and dual LED lighting for both analog and digital displays. It runs on a CR1025 battery, which Casio claims can last up to three years.

In related news, Casio has recently launched three affordable MDV106C dive watches in the US with 200m water resistance and introduced its rugged Mudmaster GWG-B1000-1A3 to the American market.

Baseus EnerGeek GH21 160W GaN charger launched with three USB-C ports, 1.8-inch display, 12,500 RPM cooling fan

By

Best GaN Chargers in India (July 2026)

-

Updated Oct 26, 2026

Baseus has opened pre-orders for a compact high-power GaN charger that tries to solve two common complaints with multi-device fast charging: heat buildup and dropping output over time.

Baseus EnerGeek GH21 charger powering a laptop, smartphone, and earbuds with indicated wattage.

The Baseus EnerGeek GH21 is a 160W all-protocol GaN display charger. It’s fairly small at 45 × 47 × 77.4 mm and weighs about 230 g without the box. Input supports the usual 100-240V range. Each of its three USB-C ports can push up to 140W on its own, and when you use two or three ports together the total maxes out at 160W.

Also Read

The standout feature is the active cooling system. Baseus went with an e-sports-style air-cooling design that uses a surround airflow path, which they claim improves heat dissipation by 35%. Inside is a DC centrifugal high-speed turbofan with a magnetic levitation motor that spins up to 12,500 RPM and moves 0.96 CFM of air, 128% more than traditional designs. There’s also a sleep mode so you can manually turn the fan off for quieter nighttime use.

Internal view of the Baseus EnerGeek GH21 charger showing its cooling fan and AI chip.

Combined with a large 2,584 mm² graphene thermal area and AI adaptive temperature control, the charger is said to drop temperature by 18°C within the first 10 minutes of full-power use and settle around 66°C, about 15°C cooler than most passive high-power chargers. Baseus claims it can hold full power for up to 72 hours without thermal throttling.

Power is managed by PowerTune 3.0, which checks the ports every three seconds and shifts power around so charging doesn’t get interrupted when you plug or unplug devices. The C3 port specifically supports Xiaomi’s 120W Hyper Charge protocol, so a Xiaomi 17 Pro can reach 80% in about 30 minutes.

On the front is a 1.8-inch full-color TFT screen running BaseusView 2.0 that shows real-time power, estimated time left, temperature, and other stats. It also generates a quick summary after charging finishes, supports double-tap to flip the screen, and even has a few playful screensaver options.

Pre-orders are already live in China for 399 yuan, which translates to around $60.

Ugreen launches new M.2 SSD enclosures with built-in USB-C cables, up to 8TB support & 20Gbps speeds

By

TerraMaster D1 Plus Portable SSD Enclosure Review: Our Personal High-speed Storage Preferred

-

Updated Oct 26, 2026

Ugreen has released two new M.2 NVMe SSD enclosures. There is a 10Gbps version available for $27.99 ($24.99 for Amazon Prime members) and a faster 20Gbps version priced at $39.99 ($34.99 with Prime).

Ugreen M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure Specifications

Instead of relying on a separate, detachable cable that you might easily misplace, these enclosures come with a 7.9-inch USB-C cable permanently attached to the device. When you aren’t using the drive, the cable simply tucks into the side of the case for storage, and there are cable clips to keep things tidy.

Also Read

The outer shell is made of aluminum, which helps keep the internal drive cool during file transfers. Ugreen also includes a thermal pad in the box to assist with heat dissipation. If you are using an older computer that doesn’t have a USB-C port, the package comes with a USB-C to USB-A adapter. There is also a basic LED light on the outside to let you know when the drive is active.

Inside the enclosure, you can install M.2 NVMe PCIe SSDs with storage capacities up to 8TB. It is compatible with the standard 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280 drive sizes, and it works with both M-Key and B+M Key configurations. You secure the drive with an included screw to keep it from moving around while you are carrying it.

The enclosure is plug-and-play, meaning you don’t need to install any drivers to use it on Windows, macOS, or Linux computers. It supports standard storage features like TRIM and SMART, which help maintain the drive’s long-term health and performance. If the drive is plugged in but left idle, it will automatically go to sleep after 15 minutes to save power.

The transfer speeds you actually get will depend on the model you buy and the ports on your computer. The $27.99 model uses a USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface for speeds up to 10Gbps. The $39.99 model uses USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 to reach up to 20Gbps. However, there is a catch with the faster version: your computer needs a specific USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 port to hit that 20Gbps mark.

Where to buy

Ugreen M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure (10Gbps / 20Gbps)

Latest price on Amazon

Thunderbolt 3 and 4 ports, like the ones found on all MacBooks and many modern Windows laptops, do not support the Gen 2×2 standard. If you plug the 20Gbps enclosure into a Thunderbolt port, it will just run at 10Gbps. Because of this, Mac users and people with Thunderbolt-only laptops are probably better off saving a few dollars and buying the 10Gbps model.

Galaxy S26 Plus gets a surprise discount

Samsung Galaxy S26 vs S26+ vs S26 Ultra: Specs, Key Differences & Upgrades

-

Updated Oct 26, 2026

Looking for a flagship upgrade without paying full price? Amazon and Samsung’s US store currently have a solid discount on the Galaxy S26 Plus that’s worth a look if you’re after premium features for less.

Two Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus smartphones shown in silver and cream color options.

The Galaxy S26 Plus comes with a 6.7-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display running at 120Hz, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy processor, 12GB of RAM, and a 4,900mAh battery with 45W wired charging.

Also Read

You also get the full suite of Galaxy AI tools for photo editing, creative generation, and everyday help, plus a triple-camera setup headed by a 50MP 1/1.56-inch main sensor. It originally launched at $1,099.99 for the 256GB model and later saw its list price climb to $1,199.99 as component costs rose across the industry.

Right now on Amazon, the 256GB Black version is going for $999.99. That’s a $200 discount, about 17% off the recent $1,199.99 list price. If you want more color options, the Cobalt Violet, Sky Blue, White, and even the online-exclusive Silver Shadow and Pink Gold are also listed at the same $999.99 price on Samsung’s US store.

Where to buy

Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus 256GB

Latest price on Amazon

This makes the S26 Plus a more approachable way into Samsung’s latest flagship experience. You get a big, bright screen that’s great for media and productivity, solid all-day battery life, and several years of software support without jumping up to the Ultra’s higher price and extra features. Reviews have generally praised its balanced feel (around 190g) and strong performance for everyday use and gaming.

Prices can change fast, and popular configurations often sell out. If the 256GB model is what you’re after, it’s worth checking the listing directly since both the discount and stock can disappear without much warning.

If you’ve been eyeing a new Samsung phone and the 256GB Galaxy S26 Plus fits what you need, this temporary drop brings the price into more reasonable territory while still delivering 2026 flagship hardware and AI features. Just double-check the latest details before you buy.

Lenovo launches affordable Legion 27Q-20 with 2K 320Hz display and 1ms response time

By

Best Budget Gaming Monitors Under $200 (2026)

-

Oct 23, 2026

Lenovo has launched its latest gaming monitor, the Legion 27Q-20, in China. It is priced at 1,149 yuan ($172) and features a 27-inch display with 2K (1440p) resolution and a native 320Hz refresh rate. The monitor is designed for gamers who want high refresh rates and sharp visuals without compromising on resolution.

Lenovo Legion 27Q-20 Specifications

The monitor features a native 320Hz refresh rate alongside a 1ms gray-to-gray (GTG) response time, ensuring smooth gameplay with minimal motion blur. It also supports AMD FreeSync Premium, Nvidia G-Sync Compatible, and VESA AdaptiveSync technologies to reduce screen tearing and stuttering during fast-paced gaming sessions.

On the color and image quality side, the panel covers 99% of the sRGB color gamut and 95% of the DCI-P3 space. The monitor comes factory-calibrated with a Delta E value of less than 2, which means color reproduction should be accurate enough for general use and light photo or video editing.

It also carries VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification. This is the baseline tier for HDR, so while it will process an HDR signal and offer a slight bump in peak brightness, it won’t provide the deep contrast found on higher-end Mini LED or OLED displays.

The physical design is typical for gaming hardware, featuring an angular aesthetic, a hexagonal base, and rear ventilation grilles. The included stand is functional, offering 135mm of height adjustment, along with tilt (-5° to +22°), swivel (-30° to +30°), and full pivot rotation (-90° to +90°).

It also supports standard VESA mounting if you prefer to use a third-party monitor arm. For inputs, the Legion 27Q-20 comes equipped with two HDMI 2.1 FRL ports and one DisplayPort 1.4 (HBR3) port.

Samsung confirms Galaxy phones and tablets getting Android 17-based One UI 9

By

-

Oct 23, 2026

Samsung has officially named the Galaxy phones and tablets lined up for its Android 17-based One UI 9 update. It gives owners of older flagships and mid-range models a clear idea of what lies ahead. It also hints at how long the wider rollout could take across different markets.

Samsung One UI 9 eligible devices

The confirmed roster comes from Samsung Japan, which says the update will reach devices in that country through October and November 2026. One UI 9 first arrived with the Galaxy S26 series in September and has since landed on several older flagships. While the timeline applies to Japan, the device list itself should hold true for most regions.

Galaxy S24 FE
Galaxy S23 and S23 Ultra
Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7
Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6
Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5

Galaxy Tab S9 FE and S9 FE+
Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2024)
Galaxy Tab A11, Tab A11+ and Tab A11 5G
Galaxy Tab Active 5 Pro

The list is not complete, though. Plus variants of the S25 and S24 are missing, as are many Galaxy A phones and regional models, so more names should surface as the rollout continues. Budget devices and units sold outside Japan are expected to get One UI 9 between December 2026 and January 2027.

Is your Galaxy device on the list, and which One UI 9 change are you most excited to try? Let us know in the comments.

Xiaomi Mijia Water Purifier 3 1200G announced with 50 ton purification capacity, 13-stage filtration system

Top 10 Xiaomi Gadgets You Can’t Miss in 2024

Oct 23, 2026

Xiaomi has started taking pre-orders for the Mijia Water Purifier 3 1200G. Official sales are set to begin on October 30, with the starting price set at 1,499 yuan, which roughly translates to $225. It’s aimed at families who want reliable, high-volume purified water without any chemical additives in the filter media.

The Xiaomi Mijia Water Purifier 3 1200G unit stands next to its matching metal faucet.

The unit sticks to pure physical filtration and leaves scale inhibitors out of the filter materials. It also has a self-purification function that flushes stagnant water out of the pipes, so the first glass you pour after the unit has been sitting unused still tastes fresh. The system carries mother-and-baby-grade purification certification, produces BPA-free water, and is rated for a total purified-water capacity of up to 50 tons.

Filtration comes from a 13-stage system with 0.0001-micron accuracy. It catches contaminants at every stage, from the initial filtration through rinsing to the final output, and is claimed to remove 145 types of pollutants commonly found in tap water, including impurities, residual chlorine, heavy metals, bacteria, and viruses.

To deal with bacterial growth that can happen when a purifier sits unused, a post-filter works with long-lasting antibacterial material built into the outlet pipe. Xiaomi says this setup delivers an antibacterial rate of over 99% against E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus, helping prevent secondary contamination at the point of use.

Flow rate is clearly a big focus. The purifier supports high throughput rated around 1400G for direct drinking water, with an initial flow rate of up to 3.74 L/min. A 150 mL cup fills in roughly 2.4 seconds, which makes it practical for larger households or anyone who uses a lot of water.

On the practical side, there’s a high-definition display that shows water mode, volume settings, and TDS values. The unit has an IPX8 waterproof rating so it can handle typical kitchen moisture and splashes. It also connects to the Mi Home app, where you can check water quality and usage data, keep an eye on remaining filter life, adjust the flow if needed, and order replacement filters with one click.

Foldable iPad could be Apple’s version of Huawei MateBook Fold, suggests new leak

iPhone Duo vs Huawei Mate XT 2 Ultimate: Apple vs the Wildest Foldable Yet

-

Oct 23, 2026

Chinese tipster @Kang recently claimed that Apple is testing a “foldable giant tablet,” and the overall design might take some cues from Huawei’s MateBook Fold. The report lines up with earlier predictions from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo that Apple is aiming for a foldable iPad around 2028.

The Huawei MateBook Fold tablet is shown unfolded with a stylus resting in front.

When unfolded, the device is expected to offer an 18- to 20-inch display area while still staying relatively portable when folded.

Kuo has said before that this foldable iPad would use an ultra-thin glass (UTG) cover. Corning’s Gorilla Glass is expected to supply the glass materials exclusively, while General Interface Solutions (GIS) would handle the critical backend work, including cutting, edge treatment, quality checks, and packaging. These same suppliers are already linked to Apple’s broader foldable efforts, including the upcoming foldable iPhone.

Social media post from a blogger discussing a potential foldable mega-tablet device.

For some context, Huawei’s latest MateBook Fold (powered by the Kirin X90 Plus) launched in August 2026 with a starting price of 24,999 yuan. It has an 18-inch dual-layer OLED foldable screen that measures just 7.3 mm thick on one side when fully opened. It comes in Sky White, Phantom Black, and Streamer Gold, has a built-in stand, and supports a stylus. When folded, it takes on a more compact notebook-like shape.

Earlier reports from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman described a similar idea of a large foldable that could essentially work like two iPad Pros side by side, with a big focus on keeping the crease as invisible as possible. If the device does arrive in 2028, first-year shipments have been projected at a fairly modest 0.5-1 million units, reflecting both the technical challenges and the likely high price tag of a large-format foldable.

HMD 2660 Flip Senior Edition brings Mary AI companion to a basic flip phone

Light Flip 5G vs Nokia 2660 Flip 4G: Is It Worth Paying 5x More For a Premium Dumb Phone?

-

Oct 23, 2026

HMD has launched the HMD 2660 Flip Senior Edition in the UK. It’s a version of the HMD 2660 Flip with a built-in AI companion called Mary.

The Senior Edition builds on the HMD 2660 Flip, which launched at MWC Barcelona in March 2025 and later made our best feature phones of 2025 list. The design goes back further, to the Nokia 2660 Flip from 2022, which also used a Unisoc T107 chip and a 2.8-inch QVGA display.

What you get

The hardware is fairly basic, as you expect from a keypad phone. You get a 2.8-inch QVGA main display and a 1.77-inch QQVGA screen on the outside. A Unisoc T107 processor runs the phone with 64MB of RAM and 128MB of storage, and the software is S30+. The rear camera is 0.3MP.

HMD 2660 Flip Senior Edition Launch Specs Price

It runs on a 1,450mAh removable battery which charges over USB-C. HMD claims a talk time of up to 8.1 hours. It measures 198.9 x 55 x 19mm and weighs 136.4g.

You also get Bluetooth 5.0, a 3.5mm headphone jack, FM radio that works with or without wired headphones, an MP3 player, dual mics, a single speaker, and a Nano SIM slot. The phone has an IP54 rating for dust and splash resistance.

Latest price on Amazon

HMD built Mary with inTouch, a company that makes AI call services for older adults. You reach Mary from the phone’s main menu by pressing the call button, so there’s no app to install and no number to dial. After the first activation, she’s available around the clock.

Mary is tuned for older users. She uses simple language, speaks at a slower pace, and waits through long pauses. She also remembers details from earlier conversations. HMD says you can talk to her about history, nature or stories, play memory games, or just chat.

The only time the senior may need assistance is while setting up the service by scanning the QR code in the box or visiting the activation page.

Price and the subscription

HMD 2660 Flip Senior Edition retails in the UK for £79.99, and the price includes the first five hours of conversation with Mary. After that, you need to pay £16.90 per month to keep using her. The subscription doesn’t renew automatically, so you’re only charged if you choose to continue. HMD says inTouch emails the registered address when the free time is running low.

If you skip the subscription, the phone keeps working as a regular flip phone without Mary. Your operator’s own charges may apply on top of the monthly fee. The HMD 2660 Flip Senior Edition is available now through HMD’s UK storefront.

OnePlus Ace 7/Pro color options confirmed ahead of October 29 launch

OnePlus Ace 5 Series Explained

-

Oct 23, 2026

OnePlus is getting ready to add to its Ace series with the Ace 7 and Ace 7 Pro. Both will officially debut in China on October 29. Pre-orders are already open, and the company has now shown the full colour options.

Three OnePlus Ace 7 smartphones displayed in different color options against abstract backgrounds.

The standard Ace 7 comes in Tempered, Midnight Black, and Glossy White (also called Radiant White). The higher-end Ace 7 Pro gets Windbreaker, Midnight Black, and Lightning White (also listed as Radiant White in some materials).

Design-wise, both phones lean into a more premium, flagship look. There’s a hidden “Storm Island” air intake that uses an aerodynamic layout to help with airflow. You’ll also find a customizable “Interstellar Light Effect” breathing light that can amp up the gaming vibe and double as a visual alert for calls and notifications. The phones pair a solid metal frame with a new AG silk glass finish on the back for a smoother feel and better grip.

The Ace 7 Pro is the more interesting one on paper. It’s powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. The big talking point, though, is what OnePlus is calling the industry’s first dual-path air cooling system.

This active setup sends air along two separate paths, one aimed at the chipset to keep high frame rates stable, and another directed at the rear panel so the back of the phone stays cooler during long sessions. Official tests and tipster reports suggest the fan can drop temperatures by around 10°C while helping maintain performance in demanding games.

The positioning of the intakes and exhausts is also designed so they don’t get in the way when you’re holding the phone in landscape for gaming. Full specs are still under wraps until the October 29 event. Overall, the series keeps OnePlus’s usual focus on sustained performance for mobile gamers, and the dual-path cooling looks like a clear step beyond the usual vapor-chamber solution.
