Timex has released a pair of new watches in collaboration with Fender, integrating design elements from the guitar manufacturer’s most recognizable instruments into a standard wristwatch format.

The release marks Fender’s 80th anniversary, along with the 75th anniversary of the Telecaster. The lineup includes a Telecaster-themed gift set and a Stratocaster-inspired model, both of which are available to purchase now on the Timex US website.

Design Details & Pricing

Both models use the same 37mm polished stainless steel case, measure 12mm thick, and feature 20mm lug widths. They are powered by a quartz analog movement with an SR626SW battery.

They also share a domed acrylic crystal and 50 meters of water resistance, which is adequate for washing hands or light swimming, but not intended for diving or prolonged water exposure.

The differences lie entirely in the dial and hardware customizations. The $299 Telecaster 75th Anniversary Giftset features an ice blue dial with a white guitar graphic stamped across the background. Timex swapped the standard second hand for one shaped like a Telecaster headstock, and the crown features a standard Fender logo.

The caseback includes a specific 75th-anniversary engraving. This model ships with a black leather strap that has turquoise stitching, plus an extra fabric strap designed to resemble a standard guitar strap.

The $269 Stratocaster version takes a slightly different approach to the guitar theme. It uses a mother-of-pearl dial to mimic the look of Fender’s Pearloid pickguards. The second hand is shaped like a Stratocaster headstock, and the crown is molded to look like a standard guitar tone knob.

This model also includes luminous material on the hands and hour markers for visibility in the dark. It comes with a brown leather strap featuring yellow stitching.

Both watches feature leather straps with quick-release spring bars for easy, tool-free changes. As a functional extra, Timex includes a co-branded tortoiseshell guitar pick in the box with each watch.

In related news, Timex has recently launched the retro Rotary Phone Dial watch with a distinctive 1970s-inspired face, alongside the new MK1 Anchor watch featuring a vintage-style dial and fabric straps.

The post Timex and Fender release two new guitar-inspired watches in the US appeared first on Gizmochina.

Timex has released the 1976 Rotary Phone Dial Reissue (model TW2Y82100), a quartz watch that brings back a specific dial layout from the company’s 1970s archives. The watch is available now for $219 in the US and ₹21,495 in India.

Design Details

The defining feature of this release is the dial, which is formatted to physically resemble the circular number pad of a classic rotary telephone. Instead of standard applied indices or printed numbers, the dial features a black center surrounded by a white outer track.

Inside this white track, the Arabic numerals are placed within individual gold-tone circular frames. At the three o’clock position, Timex included a dual-window complication that displays both the day of the week and the date.

The case is constructed from stainless steel with a gold-tone finish that incorporates both brushed and polished surfaces. Dimensionally, it measures 37mm in diameter with a 43mm lug-to-lug distance and a case height of 12mm.

These measurements make it a relatively compact watch by modern standards, which remains consistent with the sizing of the original 1970s model it is based on. The total weight of the watch is 51 grams.

For the crystal, Timex opted for domed acrylic rather than mineral glass or sapphire. While acrylic is more prone to surface scratches than modern alternatives, it is historically accurate to the time period and can be polished to remove minor scuffs.

The watch carries a water resistance rating of 50 meters, meaning it can handle splashes and light swimming, but it is not built for submersion in diving scenarios.

Internally, the watch runs on a standard battery-powered quartz analog movement using an SR920SW battery. It ships with a 20mm brown crocodile-grain leather strap secured by a standard gold-tone buckle.

This 20mm lug width and quick-release system allow users to easily swap the band for aftermarket options without needing a spring bar tool. The watch is currently available for purchase directly through Timex’s regional websites.

In related news, Timex has recently launched the new MK1 Anchor watch, featuring a vintage-inspired dial and fabric straps.

Anker has introduced the 45W Smart+ Charger in China, currently available on JD.com for 149 yuan ($22). The new power adapter is a gallium nitride (GaN) charger that includes a built-in color display and specific software support for Apple’s newer devices, including the iPhone 17 series.

Anker 45W Smart+ Specifications

The charger measures 34 x 35.5 x 40mm and weighs 75 grams. On the front, it features a small color screen that displays real-time charging metrics, such as current power output, battery level, device details, and charging progress. Because power strips and wall outlets are often positioned at different angles, the display interface can be rotated by holding the control button for two seconds.

You can also set the screen to turn off automatically after one or five minutes. The physical design includes a folding plug that locks into 90-degree and 180-degree positions, providing flexibility for routing cables behind furniture or in tight spaces.

Internally, the charger supports Apple’s AVS dynamic fast-charging protocol, a standard that adjusts voltage and power based on the connected device’s requirements. According to Anker, the charger can identify the iPhone 15, iPhone 16, and iPhone 17 series, applying a specific charging curve for these models. To maintain compatibility with future hardware, the charger supports over-the-air firmware updates through the Anker mobile app.

The device includes a physical button to switch between two primary charging profiles: Smart Fast Charging and Device Protection Mode. The protection mode applies a slower charging curve intended for extended sessions, such as overnight charging.

Anker says that using this mode for half of a user’s charging sessions can reduce battery degradation by around 20% over time. For thermal management, the charger uses the ActiveShield 5.0 system to monitor operating temperatures and holds a TÜV Rheinland low-temperature certification.

While the charger includes specific software features for newer iPhones, it functions as a standard 45W USB-C adapter for other electronics. It supports output profiles of 5V/3A, 9V/3A, 15V/3A, and 20V/2.25A. This makes it compatible with iPads, MacBook Airs, Android smartphones, and handhelds like the Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck.

The charger is sold in four colors: Aurora White, Morning Mist Blue, Anker Black, and Burgundy Red.

Aurzen has introduced the ZIP Pro at IFA 2026, an upgraded version of its original ZIP portable projector. The new model keeps the unusual tri-fold design but doubles the native resolution from 720p to 1080p and increases brightness to 200 ANSI lumens.

Aurzen ZIP Pro Specifications

The ZIP Pro uses DLP projection and Aurzen’s new 10.7mm optical engine. It has a 1.2:1 throw ratio, a 300:1 contrast ratio, and 85% NTSC color gamut coverage. Aurzen recommends a 60 to 80-inch image in dark environments, though the projector supports distances between 0.5 and 3 meters.

Its Z-shaped folding body doubles as an adjustable stand, allowing the projector to work at different angles without requiring a separate mount. The device measures 115 x 97 x 44mm when folded and weighs 586 grams. It also supports portrait projection for vertical smartphone content.

Setup is handled by ToF autofocus and four-point keystone correction. The ZIP Pro runs a Linux-based screen-mirroring system with support for AirPlay, Miracast, DLNA, and Google Cast. P2P screen mirroring can work without an external Wi-Fi network.

There are two USB-C ports, including one with DisplayPort Alt Mode for wired video input from compatible phones, tablets, and laptops. Nintendo Switch consoles can also connect directly over USB-C without a dock, with Aurzen claiming a 20-40ms response time.

Audio comes from two 2W speakers, while Bluetooth 5.4 supports simultaneous connections to two pairs of Bluetooth headphones. Aurzen has also added a touchscreen for checking battery and connection status and accessing projector controls.

The built-in 38Wh battery provides up to 2.5 hours of playback in Eco mode, compared with 1.5 hours on the original ZIP. The projector supports 65W USB-C PD charging and can operate from compatible power banks. Fan noise is rated at 24dB in Eco mode and 28dB in Normal mode.

Pricing and Availability

The Aurzen ZIP Pro is available for preorder in the US, UK, and Europe for $579.99, while its listed MSRP is $629.99. The ZIP Pro + CastPlay Pro bundle is priced at $629.99 during the preorder period, down from its listed MSRP of $759.98. Shipping is expected to begin on October 30.

In related news, Dangbei has recently launched the RX10 1080p laser projector with 1,200 CVIA lumens, a rotating gimbal, and power bank support. The company also refreshed the D7X Pro 4K projector with a brighter triple-laser system and 1,700 CVIA lumens of brightness.

Xiaomi is currently running a crowdfunding campaign on its Youpin platform for a new travel mug, the Mijia Flip-Top Thermos Cup 2. The campaign runs from September 2nd through September 9th, pricing the 500mL thermos at 79 yuan ($12) before it moves to a standard retail price of 109 yuan ($16). It is a standard, non-smart thermos that focuses on basic utility and material choices rather than connected features.

Mijia Flip-Top Thermos Cup 2 Specs

The lid incorporates a mechanical auto-locking design meant for one-handed operation. To open it, you slide a small lock switch to the left and press the release button. When you close the lid, the lock automatically slides back into place. The goal of this mechanism is to keep the thermos from opening by accident and spilling inside a bag.

Inside the lid, the drinking spout and the internal filter are made of polyphenylsulfone, or PPSU. This is a plastic polymer often used in baby bottles because it handles high temperatures well and does not easily retain smells from drinks like coffee or tea. The spout can also be completely detached from the main lid, which makes it easier to clean out any trapped residue.

The main body of the thermos uses a 316L stainless steel liner. According to Xiaomi, the manufacturing process involves a thin-wall construction to reduce the overall weight of the cup, along with a mirror electrolytic treatment. This treatment gives the inside of the thermos a smooth finish, meaning a simple rinse with water is usually enough to clean it out.

For insulation, the cup uses a standard tailless vacuum process between the inner and outer walls, supplemented by a copper-plated inner layer. Xiaomi’s testing claims the thermos will maintain hot liquids at 68 degrees Celsius or higher for six hours. For cold drinks, it will hold temperatures at 10 degrees Celsius or lower for the same six-hour period. The vacuum layer also keeps the outside of the thermos at a normal temperature when carrying hot water.

The mug also includes a silicone pad on the bottom to prevent the metal from clanking on hard surfaces, a dual-thread design for taking the lid off, and a pull tab on the rubber sealing ring to make it easier to remove for washing. The thermos is available in matte white, navy blue, and mist purple, as well as a pearlescent glacier blue.

In related news, Xiaomi has recently launched a new mini dual-drum washer-dryer with a 40-minute wash-and-dry cycle, alongside a new floor-standing air conditioner featuring rapid cooling and heating with AI-powered energy saving.

Citizen has added a new watch to its US lineup. The AW1890-01A, part of the company’s Terra Force series, is now available on Citizen’s website for $350. It is a straightforward, military-style field watch that runs on the company’s standard solar-powered movement.

Design Details

The watch features a 41.2mm silver-tone stainless steel case. This is a fairly average size for a modern men’s watch, meaning it should fit most wrists without looking oversized. The case design is angular, and it includes a textured crown to make it easier to grip and turn.

Instead of a metal bracelet or leather band, Citizen opted for a gray nylon Nato strap with a standard buckle. Nato straps are common for field watches because they are lightweight and easy to swap out, which fits the utilitarian design Citizen is going for here.

On the dial, the watch is mostly gray. It uses standard Arabic numerals for the hours and features a curved ring around the outer edge to mark the minutes. The hour and minute hands are partially skeletonized and have luminous material applied to them so you can read the time in the dark. The seconds hand is blue, which is the only real bit of color on the watch. There is also a date window positioned at the bottom of the dial at 6 o’clock.

To protect the dial, Citizen used mineral crystal. This provides decent impact resistance, but it is worth noting that mineral crystal is more prone to scratching than the sapphire crystal you sometimes see on other watches in this price range.

Inside, the AW1890-01A uses Citizen’s Caliber J810 movement. This is an Eco-Drive mechanism, which is Citizen’s proprietary solar technology. It charges the internal battery using any available light source, whether that is the sun or just the lamps in your office.

For water resistance, the watch is rated at 100 meters (10 Bar). This means it is perfectly fine to wear while swimming or in the shower, though it is not built for scuba diving.

In related news, Citizen has recently launched two striking limited-edition timepieces: a bullhead racing watch with Eco-Drive technology and 200-meter water resistance, and a bold Promaster Eco-Drive model featuring an oversized gold-tone design.

Citizen has released a new limited-edition watch, the Promaster Tsuno Chrono Racer. In the UK market, the same model is sold under the name Promaster Bullhead Racing Chronograph. The watch is available now on the company’s regional websites, priced at $1,350 in the US and £895 in the UK. It combines a 1970s automotive layout with Citizen’s current solar-powered movement technology.

Design Details

The main physical characteristic of this model (AV0104-06W) is its bullhead case design. Instead of the standard placement on the right side of the watch, the main crown and the chronograph pushers are located at the top of the case. This configuration was originally used in older racing watches to make the stopwatch functions easier to operate while holding a steering wheel. The case measures 44.5mm in diameter and is constructed from two-tone stainless steel.

The dial incorporates several design elements based on car dashboards. The power reserve indicator is formatted to look like a vehicle’s fuel gauge, while the 60-minute chronograph subdial is styled after a speedometer. The dial itself is green with gold-tone accents. The watch comes with a brown leather strap secured by a push-button deployant clasp.

Internally, the watch is powered by Citizen’s hand-assembled Caliber E210 movement. It utilizes the Eco-Drive system, which charges the internal power cell using any available natural or artificial light, eliminating the need for standard battery replacements. The chronograph features a 1/5-second flyback timer that can measure intervals up to 12 hours. Additionally, it includes a daily alarm, a standard date window, and a tachymeter scale along the edge.

The watch is fitted with a flat sapphire crystal for scratch resistance. It carries a water resistance rating of 200 meters (20 Bar), making it suitable for swimming and snorkeling.

Citizen is limiting production to 5,000 unnumbered units worldwide, and each unit ships in a specific edition box that includes a metal plaque.

In related news, Casio has recently launched new F-91WF watches in the US with recycled cloth bands and the iconic F-91W design, alongside a sleek limited-edition retro watch in a matcha green colorway.

Acer is expanding its lineup of Windows gaming handhelds with the Predator Atlas 7. Announced today at the company’s IFA press conference in Berlin, the new device is a smaller 7-inch alternative to the 8-inch model Acer revealed earlier this year. Alongside it, the company also showed off a concept device called Project DualPlay Mini that tries to merge a handheld console with a tiny productivity laptop.

Acer Predator Atlas 7 Specifications

Acer managed to fit an 80Wh battery inside the chassis, which is unusually large for a 7-inch handheld. The trade-off for that capacity is the weight: the 80Wh model weighs 750 grams. Acer is also offering a smaller 60Wh configuration that brings the weight down to just under 700 grams.

Inside, the Atlas 7 is powered by Intel’s new mobile chips, maxing out with an Intel Arc G3 Extreme processor and Intel Arc B390 graphics. It supports up to 24GB of RAM and uses a standard M.2 2280 slot for up to 1TB of storage, which should make swapping in a larger drive relatively easy. To keep the Intel hardware cool, Acer is using a dual-fan system that pairs a thin metal fan with a standard plastic one.

The screen is a 7-inch 1080p IPS touchscreen with a 120Hz refresh rate, 500 nits of brightness, and support for variable refresh rate (VRR). Acer is also checking the right boxes for the controls, including Hall-effect analog triggers and an option for TMR (tunneling magnetoresistance) joysticks to prevent stick drift. For connectivity, it includes two Thunderbolt 4 ports, a UHS-II microSD slot, Wi-Fi 7, and a fingerprint reader built into the power button.

Acer also brought a concept device called Project DualPlay Mini. It’s an 8-inch handheld with a flip-and-swivel hinge that reveals a built-in backlit keyboard. The idea is that you can use it as a standard controller-based handheld, or swivel the screen to play first-person shooters with a keyboard or use it as a tiny mobile workstation. Since it’s just a concept, there are no release plans, though Acer did include a Morse code message on the back to mark its 50th anniversary.

Pricing and Availability

The Predator Atlas 7 will launch in North America in the fourth quarter of 2026, and in EMEA in November. The larger 8-inch Atlas 8 is still scheduled to arrive this September. Acer hasn’t announced pricing for the Atlas 7 yet.

Casio has released a minor update to its long-running F-91W digital watch line in the US. The new F-91WF series is available now on the company’s website for $45.95. The lineup includes three models, the F-91WF-1A, F-91WF-2A, and F-91WF-3A, which correspond to different color accents. The only functional change from the standard version is the inclusion of a cloth band made from recycled materials.

Design Details

Instead of the usual resin plastic strap that comes with most basic Casio watches, the F-91WF uses a band woven from recycled PET fibers. According to Casio, this cloth material is designed to resist scratches and stains.

From a practical standpoint, a cloth band usually offers a bit more breathability and flexibility than plastic, which can sometimes feel rigid or trap sweat during daily wear. The new band is adjustable and fits wrist sizes between 145 and 215 mm.

Beyond the strap, the hardware remains exactly what you would expect from this series. The watch is highly compact, measuring 38.2 x 35.2 x 8.5 mm, and weighs just 21 grams. The case, bezel, and the glass covering the digital display are all made of standard resin. It is water-resistant, meaning it can handle basic splashes or rain, but it isn’t rated for submersion or swimming.

Inside, the watch runs on a single CR2016 battery. Casio estimates the battery life at roughly seven years under normal use. The feature set is entirely basic: it tells the time in 12 or 24-hour formats, displays the day and date, and includes a green LED backlight for checking the time in the dark.

For utilities, the watch includes a 1/100-second stopwatch. It can track elapsed time, split times, and first- and second-place finishes. There is also a daily alarm, auto-calendar, and an optional hourly time signal. The timekeeping module has an accuracy rating of plus or minus 30 seconds per month.

In related news, Casio has recently launched a sleek limited-edition matcha green retro watch, along with new AQ-240E models featuring navy and glossy black retro styling.

Citizen has announced the release of a new model in its aviation watch line, the Promaster Skyhawk A-T (JY8144-50E). The watch is now available for purchase in both the United States and the United Kingdom.

Design Details

The watch operates on Citizen’s Caliber U680 movement, which incorporates two of the company’s standard hardware features: Eco-Drive and atomic timekeeping. The Eco-Drive system uses panels under the dial to convert natural and artificial light into energy, storing it in a rechargeable cell. This allows the watch to run continuously without requiring standard battery replacements.

For timekeeping, the watch uses radio-controlled synchronization. It receives time calibration radio signals from atomic clocks to maintain accuracy. The internal software supports automatic time adjustments for 43 different cities around the world, which is a practical feature for users who travel between time zones and want their watch to update automatically.

Regarding its physical build, the Skyhawk A-T has a 46mm case made of gold-tone stainless steel, featuring a combination of brushed and polished metal finishes. It comes with a matching stainless steel bracelet that fastens with a fold-over clasp and hidden push buttons.

The black dial is covered by a sapphire crystal treated with an anti-reflective coating to reduce glare and resist scratches. It also has a water resistance rating of 200 meters, making it suitable for swimming and snorkeling.

The dial layout is a hybrid design, using standard analog hands alongside digital LCD screens to display additional information. The built-in functions include a perpetual calendar, a 1/100-second chronograph that measures up to 24 hours, a 99-minute countdown timer, two daily alarms, and a dual time zone setting.

Because it is categorized as an aviation watch, it also includes a specific display for Universal Coordinated Time (UTC). An analog gauge indicates the current power reserve of the battery, and the digital screens can be illuminated with a built-in backlight for reading in the dark.

Pricing and Availability

The Promaster Skyhawk A-T is positioned as a limited-production model, with Citizen capping the global run at 5,200 unnumbered pieces. It is available now directly through Citizen’s regional websites, priced at $995.00 in the US and £695.00 in the UK.

Casio is releasing a new limited-edition watch in collaboration with the coffee and lifestyle brand Café Kitsuné. The AQ230ECK-3A is a modified version of Casio’s standard vintage-style analog-digital hybrid, updated with a matcha green color scheme. It is scheduled to go on sale later this month, priced at $120 in the US and ￥17,600 in Japan.

Design Details

The main design change from the standard AQ-230 model is the dial color. Casio replaced the usual metallic background with a muted green tone, which is intended to reference Japanese tea culture and Café Kitsuné’s specific branding.

The coffee retailer’s fox logo is printed on the lower half of the dial. Additional branding includes the Café Kitsuné logo engraved on the stainless steel case back and the adjustable clasp. The watch also ships in custom green packaging to match the dial.

Aside from the visual updates, the hardware remains identical to standard Casio Vintage models. The unisex case measures 38.8 x 29.8 x 8.1 mm and weighs 47 grams. The main body is constructed from resin with chrome plating, and a standard resin glass crystal covers the dial. The stainless steel band includes a self-adjustable clasp designed to fit wrist sizes ranging from 150 to 205 mm. The watch carries a basic water resistance rating.

The AQ230ECK-3A uses a hybrid display to separate its functions. The analog section features two hands for the hours and minutes. Below it, a small digital screen displays the hour, minute, second, month, date, and day. Built-in features include dual time tracking, a stopwatch, a daily alarm, and an hourly time signal.

The watch runs on a single SR920W battery, which Casio estimates will last approximately three years, and it maintains an accuracy of ±30 seconds per month.

In related news, Casio has recently launched the new AQ-240E watches with sleek navy and glossy black retro styling, while the company has also introduced the affordable MTP-VT06 watches in India with steel and leather strap options.

Vivo has announced the T5 5G in India, a midrange smartphone with a large AMOLED display, a high-capacity battery, and MediaTek’s Dimensity 7500 processor.

Vivo T5 Specifications

The Vivo T5 features a 6.83-inch curved AMOLED display with a 2800 x 1260 resolution and up to a 144Hz refresh rate. It offers up to 3,000 nits peak brightness and SGS-certified eye-care features.

The phone is powered by the 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 7500 Turbo chipset. It uses four performance cores clocked at up to 2.6GHz and four efficiency cores running at up to 2.0GHz. Vivo has paired the processor with a 3,800mm² vapor chamber and a larger cooling system intended to manage heat during gaming and other sustained workloads.

There are four memory and storage options: 6GB of RAM with 128GB of storage, 8GB with 128GB, 8GB with 256GB, and 12GB with 256GB. The phone uses LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. Vivo also supports virtual RAM expansion of up to 12GB, although there is no microSD card slot for adding more storage.

The post Vivo T5 debuts in India with 6.83-inch 144Hz AMOLED display, Dimensity 7500 Turbo & 7050mAh battery appeared first on Gizmochina.

Rogbid has released its latest wearable, the Model R3T. Rather than acting as a standard smartphone accessory that simply mirrors your notifications, the R3T is built to operate entirely on its own. The device runs a full Android operating system and includes a SIM card slot for 4G LTE connectivity, allowing it to handle calls, texts, and mobile data without a phone nearby.

Rogbid Model R3T Specifications

On the hardware side, the R3T features a circular 1.6-inch AMOLED display with a 480 x 480 resolution. The screen is covered by scratch-resistant Panda Glass, and the chassis is made from 316 stainless steel, giving it a heavier, more utilitarian build. It also carries an IP67 rating for basic water and dust resistance.

Internally, the watch runs on an SL8541E processor, backed by 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. Because it uses a standard Android OS instead of a lightweight wearable platform like Wear OS or RTOS, you can download regular mobile applications directly to the watch. This includes video and music streaming apps like Netflix and TikTok.

Running full apps and cellular data on a wrist-worn device requires a lot of power, so the company has included a sizable 1100mAh battery. To help manage battery life, the watch features a dual-mode system: you can run it in full Android mode for standalone use, or switch to a standard Bluetooth mode, which limits functionality but extends standby time up to 10 days.

The device also includes a few unconventional hardware features. The most noticeable is a mechanical pop-up camera hidden at the top of the casing. It rotates up to 190 degrees and can be used for video calls, facial recognition, or taking basic photos. Additionally, there is a built-in infrared (IR) blaster, which lets the watch function as a remote control for household appliances like TVs and air conditioners within a five-meter range.

For standard fitness tracking, the R3T includes multi-system GPS for outdoor navigation, along with sensors for continuous heart rate and blood oxygen (SpO2) monitoring. It does have an NFC chip, though it is strictly limited to passive access control, like unlocking compatible smart doors, and does not support contactless payments.

Dyson just released a $500 electric toothbrush that has a camera inside it. It’s called the Dyson CameraJet, and the main idea is that it automatically water-flosses your teeth while you brush them.

Dyson CameraJet Specifications

To make that happen, Dyson put a tiny macro camera and a strobe light inside the toothbrush handle. While you’re brushing, the camera takes 28 pictures a second. The onboard software analyzes these images in real time to find the exact gaps between your teeth.

Once it spots a gap, a small pump fires a quick, pressurized burst of liquid, about 0.15ml, into that space in a tenth of a second. The liquid comes from a small 0.67-ounce tank built into the handle. Dyson designed the tank with an expanding diaphragm so it doesn’t get air bubbles, meaning the water jet works no matter what angle you hold the brush at. If you don’t want to do both at the same time, you can set it to just brush or just floss.

As a regular toothbrush, it uses a standard sonic motor that vibrates 245 times a second. Dyson says it’s built so the bristles won’t stall or stop moving if you press too hard against your teeth. The brush heads have RFID chips in them, which allows the handle to track how long you’ve used them and send an alert to your phone when it’s time to buy a replacement.

Because there is a camera, it connects to a smartphone app over Wi-Fi. The app tracks your brushing habits and warns you if you’re using the wrong technique, but you can also use it to pull up a live video feed of the inside of your mouth to see what the brush sees.

The toothbrush is fully waterproof and has a replaceable battery that lasts about 10 days per charge. Because it uses liquid, it comes with a fairly large base station. The dock is about a foot tall and holds nearly seven ounces of water, and it automatically refills the toothbrush’s internal tank whenever you set it down to charge.

The CameraJet is available now in Ceramic Pink and Ceramic Ultra Blue colorways for $499.99.

In related news, Dyson has recently launched a new air-purifying fan with a camera that tracks users around the room, along with the Supersonic Travel Hair Dryer featuring a compact design and portable form factor.

Xiaomi has launched the Mijia Mini Twin-Tub Washer-Dryer 5kg in China. It has a standard retail price of 3,499 yuan ($520) and now up for pre-order on JD.com. The appliance is built to handle a practical household task: washing different types of clothes at the same time without mixing them together.

Mijia Mini Washer-Dryer Specifications

Instead of a standard single drum, the machine splits its 5kg washing capacity across two independent 2.5kg tubs. For drying, each drum holds up to 1.5kg, giving the unit a total drying capacity of 3kg. This setup means you can wash baby clothes in one drum and adult clothes in the other, or keep delicates away from heavier fabrics. To make sure the loads stay separated, the machine uses independent water and drying channels for each tub, which prevents water from one drum crossing into the other.

Inside, the washer uses a direct-drive motor that reaches a maximum spin speed of 1,200rpm. The drums are 255mm in diameter. For detergent, the machine has two separate 150ml auto-dosing dispensers. It calculates how much soap is needed for a specific load to cut down on residue. Xiaomi claims a full dispenser can last for around a month under typical use, while the self-cleaning system helps prevent blockages over time.

The machine includes 34 wash programs for specific stains like coffee, mud, and makeup. There is a 40-minute quick wash-and-dry cycle for small items, and a 40°C low-temperature drying mode for silk that uses sensors to stop the cycle when the fabric is dry.

If you leave clothes in the machine overnight, it turns on a ventilation system to circulate fresh air and limit odors. It also has a 95°C high-temperature drum-cleaning mode and claims a 99.99% removal rate for bacteria and viruses.

Like other Mijia devices, it connects to the Mi Home app and HyperOS system. It supports voice controls and receives over-the-air software updates. The unit measures 598 x 574 x 478mm, which allows it to fit into standard 600mm-deep cabinets. It weighs 41kg and can sit on the floor, on a counter, or stacked on top of a standard front-loading washing machine.

Casio has introduced two new color options for its AQ-240E analog-digital watch series in the Japanese market. The new models, designated as the AQ-240E-2A2JF (navy) and AQ-240E-1AJF (black), are scheduled to ship in September 2026. Both are currently available for pre-order on the Casio Japanese online store for ¥7,700 ($48).

Design Details

The AQ-240E series is a straightforward continuation of Casio’s older AQ-230 line, maintaining a basic square face with rounded corners. These watches are relatively small and lightweight, measuring 40.9 x 35.8 x 8.1 millimeters and weighing exactly 51 grams.

The case and bezel are made of standard resin, while the band is stainless steel. The band uses a sliding clasp mechanism, which allows users to adjust the fit themselves without needing specialized tools to remove or add links.

For these two specific models, the primary update is the dial design. The navy version has a dark blue tint, while the black version is a standard glossy black. Both feature a sunray finish, meaning the dial reflects light differently depending on the viewing angle.

The layout remains identical to previous models in the lineup, with slim metallic indices marking the hours on the analog portion of the face, and a small digital LCD screen positioned at the bottom six o’clock position.

Functionally, the watches offer the standard digital features found on Casio’s entry-level models. The dual-time function lets you keep track of a second time zone, while the module also includes a 1/100-second stopwatch with a 60-minute capacity, a daily alarm, an hourly time signal, and an automatic calendar.

The watches run on a standard battery that Casio estimates will last for about three years before needing a replacement. They are rated for basic everyday water resistance, meaning they can handle light rain or splashes from handwashing, but they are not designed for swimming, showering, or submersion.

In related news, we’ve recently reviewed the Ayaneo Konkr Pocket Advance retro handheld, which delivers impressive value for just $89.

To manage heat during gameplay, the device includes an active cooling system with a built-in fan and heat pipe. It comes with either 4GB+64GB or 8GB+128GB of memory and storage.

On the software side, the handheld runs Android 14. Anbernic has included its own software overlay, RG Home, which acts as a game launcher and includes a built-in screen mapping tool for playing touch-only Android games with physical buttons.

The software also supports driver switching, letting users swap between Qualcomm’s native graphics drivers and open-source Turnip Vulkan drivers, a useful feature for optimizing performance in certain emulators. Additionally, Anbernic has integrated a few AI tools into a swipe-in menu, offering features like real-time translation and text-based game guides.

The device runs on a 6,000mAh battery that charges at 18W, which Anbernic claims will last for up to eight hours of gameplay. Standard connectivity options are present, including Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.0, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a microSD card slot that supports up to 2TB cards.

Pricing and Availability

The RG 55G1 is available in Black, Retro Gray, and Indigo. The 4GB/64GB model costs $139.99 during the introductory period (normally $149.99), while the 8GB/128GB model is priced at $164.99 (normally $174.99). The company is also offering various bundles that include microSD cards for an additional cost.

Thunderobot has released the Blade 60, a new PC and console gaming controller currently available in China. The device is priced at 449 yuan ($67), with an initial launch price of 399 yuan ($59). The controller focuses on high-speed connectivity and modular hardware inputs, offering features standard in the current market of third-party gamepads.

Thunderobot Blade 60 Specifications

The controller supports three connection methods: wired USB, 2.4GHz wireless via a dedicated receiver, and Bluetooth. Both wired and 2.4GHz wireless modes support an 8KHz polling rate.

For directional inputs, the Blade 60 uses adjustable-tension TMR joysticks. These sticks operate at a 12-bit resolution, providing 4,096 levels of precision, and use a direct bus connection to minimize internal processing delay. You can manually adjust the tension of the thumbsticks to change the physical resistance and achieve a stiffer damping feel.

The triggers feature a dual-mode mechanism controlled by a physical switch on the back of the device. You can toggle between a linear Hall-effect mode, which provides precise travel measurement for genres such as racing games, and a micro-switch mode. The micro-switch setting reduces the physical travel distance to 2mm, allowing you to achieve faster actuation in shooters.

The ABXY face buttons use optical micro-switches. Instead of relying on physical metal contacts, these buttons actuate using infrared light. This design is intended to prevent hardware issues such as double-clicking and physical contact wear over time, while the buttons are rated for 10 million presses. The D-pad uses a floating, omnidirectional design and includes two interchangeable caps: a traditional cross shape and a circular dish.

Additionally, the Blade 60 includes six programmable mechanical buttons, two extra shoulder bumpers and four rear paddles. You can map these to standard inputs or macros using Thunderobot’s PC software, while multiple profiles can be saved directly to the controller’s onboard memory.

The device is powered by a 1,200mAh battery. The exterior features laser-etched rubber grips on the front and back. Inside, it uses H-bridge motors in both the main grips and the triggers for adjustable vibration feedback, alongside a six-axis gyroscope for motion controls.

Citizen has released three new men’s sports watches in the UK under its AW191 series. The new models are available now on the company’s UK website and stick to a basic, functional formula: standard analog designs powered by Citizen’s long-running Eco-Drive solar technology.

Design Details

The release includes three specific models: the AW1914-55L, the AW1911-53E, and the AW1911-53A. All three share the same underlying hardware and a 43mm stainless steel case, which is a fairly standard size for modern sports watches.

The AW1914-55L is the most expensive of the group at £299. It comes with a two-tone stainless steel case and bracelet, along with a navy blue dial and a matching blue bezel. The other two models are priced slightly lower at £279 and offer a more standard silver-tone steel finish. The AW1911-53E features a black dial and black bezel, while the AW1911-53A pairs a white dial with a black bezel. All three watches use a standard stainless steel bracelet secured by a fold-over clasp with push buttons.

The watch features Citizen’s Eco-Drive movement, which eliminates the need for regular battery replacements or manual winding. It converts natural sunlight and indoor light into power, allowing the watch to run continuously without a battery swap as long as it receives regular light exposure.

Otherwise, the specs are exactly what you would expect for a watch at this price point. The dial is covered by mineral crystal. It provides decent impact resistance, though it is more prone to scratching than the sapphire crystal you usually find on more expensive watches. The dial itself is straightforward, featuring a basic three-hand layout for the time and a small date window.

For water resistance, the watches are rated at 100 meters (10 Bar). This means they are fine for surface swimming, showering, and snorkeling, but they are not built for scuba diving.

In related news, Citizen has recently launched compact Eco-Drive watches with elegant designs, while the brand also introduced a limited-edition Promaster Skyhawk with serious flight-ready features.

Timex has released a new collaborative watch with the New York menswear brand Noah. The NOAH x Timex MK1 Anchor is available now on the Timex US website for $248. It is sold as a set that includes the watch and two interchangeable fabric straps.

Design Details

The watch is built around a 36mm brushed stainless steel case that measures 10mm thick. This is a relatively small case size compared to the larger smartwatches and dive watches that often dominate the market, but it aligns with a recent industry trend favoring smaller, more traditional dimensions.

Instead of sapphire or mineral glass, Timex used a domed acrylic crystal for the display. Acrylic is a plastic polymer that was standard in mid-century watches. It scratches more easily than modern watch glass, but it is shatter-resistant, and minor surface scuffs can usually be buffed out with standard polishing paste. It also distorts the dial slightly at the edges, which is a deliberate design choice to give the watch an older look.

The dial itself is cream-colored with partial Arabic numerals and applied indices. Rather than a standard central second hand, the watch features an anchor-shaped sub-second dial positioned at the bottom of the face. The hands and hour markers are filled with luminescent paint for visibility in the dark.

Internally, the MK1 Anchor runs on a standard quartz analog movement powered by an SR621SW battery. It is a basic, battery-operated mechanism, meaning it lacks the mechanical complexity of an automatic watch, but it will keep accurate time with minimal maintenance.

The package includes two 18mm fabric straps: one with red and navy stripes, and a second solid navy option. Both straps have quick-release spring bars, allowing you to swap them out by pulling a small metal tab rather than using a specialized watch tool. The back of the stainless steel case features a laser-engraved Noah logo.

In related news, Timex has recently launched a new automatic field watch with a titanium case and 200m water resistance, along with a new fall-themed Peanuts Waterbury Classic watch.

Citizen has added two new models to its UK watch lineup: the EW1277-15A and the EW1273-08A. Both watches are part of the EW127 series and are currently available for purchase on the Citizen UK website.

Design Details and Pricing

Both models share the exact same core design and specifications. They feature a small 23mm stainless steel case, making them very compact. The dial layout is identical on both versions: a plain white background with standard black Arabic numerals and a basic three-hand movement. Citizen has also included a subtle date window positioned at 3 o’clock, keeping the watch focused and highly functional.

The differences between the two watches are entirely cosmetic, limited to the case finish and the included strap. The EW1277-15A is priced at £149.00. It has a silver-tone stainless steel case and comes with a pink leather strap that fastens with a standard pin buckle. The EW1273-08A costs slightly more at £169.00. It features a gold-tone stainless steel case and is paired with a light brown leather strap.

Inside, both watches run on Citizen’s Eco-Drive technology. This system uses a solar panel hidden under the dial to convert natural and artificial light into electrical energy, which is then stored in a rechargeable cell. Because it charges continuously when exposed to ambient light, the watch does not require regular battery replacements.

The rest of the hardware is standard for watches in this price range. The dial is covered by mineral crystal, which provides basic protection but is more prone to scratching than the sapphire crystal used on higher-end watches.

Both models have a water resistance rating of 30 meters. In practical terms, this rating means the watches can withstand light splashes from washing hands or rain, but they are not built to be submerged in water and should not be worn while swimming or showering.

In related news, Casio has launched its affordable MTP-VT06 watch series in India with stainless steel and leather strap options, while Timex has introduced a new automatic field watch featuring a titanium case and 200m water resistance.

The port selection is basic but covers the essentials: a 2.5GbE Ethernet port for your network, a USB-A 3.0 port for external accessories, and an HDMI 1.4 port. That HDMI connection lets you plug the NAS directly into a TV or monitor to play 4K video at 30Hz without needing a separate streaming box.

What makes this device interesting is how it ties into Xiaomi’s software ecosystem. If you use a Xiaomi phone running HyperOS 3.0 or newer, the NAS automatically shows up in the native file manager. It handles full device backups, including specific app data like WeChat histories. It also connects directly to compatible Xiaomi security cameras, allowing you to record and store local video feeds from up to four cameras at once.

Beyond storage, the NAS acts as a local hub for the Mi Home smart ecosystem. By processing smart home automations locally rather than sending commands to a cloud server, Xiaomi says device response times are noticeably faster.

On the software side, Xiaomi has included the kind of media management tools you usually see from established NAS makers like Synology. There is a photo app that uses local processing to group pictures by faces and locations, and it supports text searches to find specific images. For video files, the system automatically pulls in movie posters, titles, and ratings based on the file names.

You can access the NAS remotely through a dedicated app for iOS, Android, Mac, and Windows. Xiaomi provides up to 40Mbps of free remote bandwidth, which is enough to stream your stored movies or download files while you are away from the house. The system supports up to 16 separate user accounts, so multiple family members can back up their devices while keeping their data private.

The Xiaomi Smart Storage comes with a three-year warranty. The company hasn’t mentioned whether it will be sold in other regions.

Cuktech has released the 25 Power Bank SE in the US and other global markets. The battery pack, which initially launched in China last year, is now available on Amazon for a standard price of $69.99, with an early discount bringing it down to $62.99.

Cuktech 25 Power Bank SE Specifications

The power bank features a 25,000mAh battery rated at 90Wh, keeping it just below the 100Wh limit for carry-on luggage, which makes it suitable for frequent travelers. According to Cuktech, the battery can charge a MacBook Air around 1.2 times or an iPhone 17 Pro Max approximately 3.2 times on a full charge.

When it comes to charging speeds, the power bank can output up to 100W. That is enough wattage to charge most modern thin-and-light laptops at the same speed as their standard wall chargers. Cuktech says it can charge a 13-inch M3 MacBook Air to 56% in about 30 minutes. The battery pack also recharges at 100W if you use a compatible USB-C wall adapter. At that maximum input, plugging it in for 15 minutes will refill the battery by about 25%.

For charging your devices, the power bank features three outputs, including an integrated USB-C cable. Alongside the attached cable, there is one standard USB-C port and one USB-A port for older accessories. You can use all three to charge multiple devices simultaneously.

The front of the power bank features a digital display that shows the remaining battery percentage and real-time charging output. This provides a convenient way to monitor power consumption and confirm whether a connected laptop or phone is receiving the expected wattage.

Internally, the device includes temperature monitoring to prevent overheating during sustained 100W loads. It supports standard fast-charging protocols, meaning it is compatible with hardware from Apple, Samsung, Google, and other major brands.

Samsung introduced its new P Series portable solid-state drives, the P9 and P7, at Gamescom 2026. This new gen comes with USB4 connectivity, which allows the drives to reach significantly higher transfer speeds than the company’s previous storage models.

Samsung Portable P9 and P7 Specifications

Both the P9 and P7 utilize a USB4 Gen 3×2 interface capable of 40Gbps. According to Samsung, this enables sequential read speeds of up to 4,000 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 3,800 MB/s. This is roughly double the speed of Samsung’s older T9 drive, which used a USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 interface and capped out at 2,000 MB/s.

The P9 is the higher-end model, aimed at professionals working with large files. Samsung says it is the first 8TB USB4 portable SSD to support these 4,000 MB/s speeds. The P9 is designed to maintain sustained write performance, which is a practical requirement for tasks like 12K direct video recording on compatible cameras. It also includes thermal guarding to manage heat during extended data transfers, ensuring the drive does not throttle during long shoots.

The P7 is targeted at standard consumer use, such as expanding storage for laptops, smartphones, and gaming consoles. While it shares the same peak 4,000 MB/s read and 3,800 MB/s write speeds as the P9, it lacks the specialized sustained write optimizations meant for heavy professional video production.

Physically, both drives are compact, measuring 9.0 cm by 6.5 cm and weighing just under 100 grams. They feature a metal body, two-meter drop resistance, and AES 256-bit hardware encryption managed via the Samsung Magician software. They are compatible with Windows, macOS, and Android, and are backward compatible with older USB standards, though transfer speeds will be limited by the port used.

Pricing and Availability

The pricing reflects the high storage capacities and the new interface. The P9 is priced at $339.99 for 1TB, $649.99 for 2TB, $1,349.99 for 4TB, and $2,699.99 for the 8TB model.

The P7 is priced lower, starting at $289.99 for 1TB, $549.99 for 2TB, $1,149.99 for 4TB, and $2,289.99 for 8TB. Both drives are scheduled for a global release starting in September.

Casio has released a new set of analog watches in India under the MTP-VT06 series. The lineup, which first appeared on the company’s international website earlier in June, includes four models that focus on standard timekeeping and a traditional multi-dial layout rather than smart features or digital displays.

Design Details

The new lineup is divided into two main configurations based on the strap material: stainless steel and leather. The MTP-VT06D-1B and MTP-VT06D-7B models feature a stainless-steel band with a triple-fold clasp, while the MTP-VT06L-1B and MTP-VT06L-7B come equipped with a standard black leather strap.

All four watches share the exact same core case dimensions, measuring 43 x 37 x 8 mm. The 8mm thickness keeps the profile relatively slim on the wrist. The watch case itself is ion-plated and topped with standard mineral glass. Due to the different band materials, there is a weight difference between the models; the stainless-steel versions weigh 78 grams, whereas the leather strap models are less than half that weight at just 37 grams.

On the dial, Casio has opted for a clean, traditional layout. The watches feature bold Arabic numerals and standard minute markings. The main functional addition is three sub-dials that track the date, the day of the week, and a 24-hour time readout. The 1B-designated models feature a black dial, while the 7B models come with an ivory dial with blue/grey accents on the hands and markings.

Internally, the watches run on a standard quartz movement powered by an SR621SW battery, which Casio estimates will last approximately two years before needing a replacement. The timekeeping accuracy is rated at ±20 seconds per month. All models in the MTP-VT06 series also feature basic water resistance, making them suitable for daily wear and minor splashes.

Pricing and Availability

Pricing for the new series is tiered based on the band material. The leather-strap models (MTP-VT06L-1B and MTP-VT06L-7B) are priced at ₹4,495. The stainless-steel variants (MTP-VT06D-1B and MTP-VT06D-7B) are slightly more expensive, retailing for ₹4,995.

All four models are available to purchase now through Casio’s standard retail channels and store locations in India.

In related news, Citizen has recently launched a limited-edition Promaster Skyhawk packed with flight-ready features, while Timex has introduced a new automatic field watch with a titanium case and 200-meter water resistance.

Timex has released a new mechanical watch in the US market, the Expedition Field Post Titanium Automatic. It is now available on the Timex US website for $429.

Timex Expedition Field Post Titanium Automatic Specs

The watch comes with a 41mm titanium case finished with a black IP coating. Titanium is commonly used in outdoor and everyday watches because it is significantly lighter than stainless steel, making the larger case more comfortable for daily wear while retaining good durability.

The case measures 13.5mm thick with a 50mm lug-to-lug distance. Timex has also included a screw-down crown and a threaded case back, giving the watch a water resistance rating of 200 meters. This means it is safe for swimming, snorkeling, and recreational diving, provided you don’t adjust the crown while submerged.

On the front, the watch uses a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal treated with an anti-reflective coating to reduce glare. The dial itself is black with a textured finish, featuring standard full Arabic numerals and a date window located at the 3 o’clock position. For reading the time in the dark, Timex applied Super-LumiNova pigment to the hands and hour markers, which charges in ambient light and glows when the lights go out.

Inside, the watch is powered by a 21-jewel mechanical automatic movement. Because it is an automatic watch, it does not use a battery. Instead, it winds itself using the natural motion of your wrist as you wear it. It holds a 40-hour power reserve, meaning if you take it off for a weekend, it will eventually stop and need to be manually wound using the crown to get it running again. You can see the internal mechanics working through an exhibition window on the back of the case.

The watch comes with a 20mm brown leather strap. The strap also features quick-release spring bars, making it easy to swap it out for a different band without needing any specialized watch tools.

In related news, Citizen has recently launched two new Eco-Drive watches featuring sapphire crystal and rectangular cases, while Timex has launched five new Q Timex Marbella watches with retro-inspired designs and textured dials.

The watches also support a dedicated WhatsApp integration for reading and replying to messages from the wrist.

On the software side, Garmin introduced a feature called Garmin Epic, which groups multiple days of activities, photos, and health data into a single timeline. The watches carry over Garmin’s standard suite of training metrics, including Training Readiness, Endurance Score, and Hill Score, alongside an ECG app for AFib detection.

For storage, the watches come with 64GB of built-in capacity, enough to hold up to 7,000 songs for offline listening. The storage also accommodates multicontinent TopoActive maps, while navigation features such as NextFork map guides and dynamic round-trip routing provide additional guidance.

The Fenix 9 Pro models offer an option for built-in inReach connectivity. This provides satellite coverage for two-way messaging, LiveTrack, and interactive SOS without needing a cellular connection or a separate handheld device.

Battery life remains standard for the series: the Fenix 9 gets up to 29 days in smartwatch mode, and the Fenix 9 Pro gets up to 31 days. The Pro Solar model can reach up to 57 days. All models include an integrated LED flashlight with white, red, and green light options.

Pricing and Availability

The Fenix 9 starts at $999.99, and the Fenix 9 Pro starts at $1,099.99. The lineup will be available to order on August 28th.

BenQ has announced two new additions to its ScreenBar lineup, and this time, the company is moving away from the standard one-size-fits-all design. The new iScreenBar and ScreenBar Max are built specifically for iMacs and dual-monitor setups, respectively, addressing the physical quirks of both workspaces.

BenQ ScreenBar Specifications

First is the iScreenBar, which is designed exclusively for 2021 and newer iMac models. Standard monitor light bars usually rely on a weighted clip, which can be awkward on an iMac and often blocks the built-in webcam or microphones. To get around this, BenQ uses a magnetic mount that snaps directly to the back of the computer. The light bar itself is made from a single piece of aluminum with a glass touch panel, meant to blend in with Apple’s hardware.

It draws power from the iMac’s USB-C port and uses an asymmetric optical design to light up the desk without casting glare onto the screen itself. BenQ included a 24GHz mmWave motion sensor so the light turns on when you sit down, plus an ambient light sensor to adjust brightness automatically.

There is also a dedicated macOS app for assigning lighting profiles to different applications, along with a Video Call Mode that reduces webcam glare while keeping the side LEDs bright enough to illuminate your face.

BenQ ScreenBar Max Specifications

For people using two monitors, BenQ is releasing the ScreenBar Max. Instead of resting on top of a display, the Max is a tall, standalone desk lamp that mounts via a desk clamp (a freestanding base is sold separately). The idea is to properly light the wide space and the gap between two screens, which standard light bars struggle to do.

Because dual-monitor setups come in all shapes and sizes, the Max is highly adjustable. It has three fixed height options ranging from 21.6 to 27.9 inches, and a sliding rail that lets you pull the light forward or push it back. It uses a modified optical structure to throw a wide, even beam of light across the desk.

Like the iScreenBar, it has mmWave presence detection and auto-dimming, but it adds an ambient backlight to reduce the harsh contrast between your bright monitors and a dark room. You can control the brightness and color temperature using a touch display on the lamp.

Pricing and Availability

The iScreenBar is available now in silver for $189, with blue and green colorways expected in late 2026. The ScreenBar Max is priced at $289, with the optional desk base costing $39. Both models are available through BenQ, Amazon, and select retailers like Adorama and B&H.

In related news, Dangbei has recently launched the RX10, a 1080p laser projector offering 1,200 CVIA lumens, a rotating gimbal, and power-bank support. XGIMI has also unveiled the Z9X 4K High Brightness Edition, featuring an RGB laser, 120Hz mode, and 1ms latency.

Realme has introduced the P4s 5G in India, a new mid-range smartphone that prioritizes battery capacity and physical durability.

Realme P4s 5G Specifications

The device is built around an 8,000mAh battery and carries IP66, IP68, and IP69 ratings for water and dust resistance, making it more robust than most standard smartphones in its price bracket.

Despite the large battery, the phone maintains relatively standard dimensions. It measures 8.6mm thick and weighs 208 grams. To manage the high-capacity cell, Realme included support for 80W wired fast charging. The device also supports reverse wired charging, allowing it to function as a power bank to charge other electronics, as well as bypass charging, which powers the motherboard directly during gaming to reduce heat buildup.

The front of the device features a 6.78-inch AMOLED display manufactured by Samsung. It has a 1.5K resolution (1272 x 2772) and a maximum refresh rate of 144Hz. The panel has a typical brightness of 1,000 nits and supports full-brightness DC dimming to mitigate screen flicker.

Internally, the P4s 5G runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Ultra system-on-chip. This is paired with a secondary graphics processor that Realme calls the Hyper Vision+ AI chip. This dual-chip configuration is designed to handle frame interpolation, allowing the phone to upscale frame rates in supported mobile games to match the 144Hz display.

To manage the thermal output from extended gaming sessions, the phone includes a 7,000mm² vapor chamber cooling system. The device comes with up to 12GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage.

For photography, the rear camera setup features a 50-megapixel main sensor with optical image stabilization, paired with an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens. The front houses a 16-megapixel selfie camera, while video recording supports up to 4K at 30 frames per second.

On the software side, the P4s 5G ships with realme UI 7.0. The company is promising three years of Android OS updates and four years of security patches.

Pricing and Availability

The Realme P4s 5G will be available in Titanium Gray and Electric Cyan starting September 3rd through Flipkart and Realme’s website. The base model with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage is priced at ₹34,999. The 8GB/256GB variant costs ₹37,999, and the top 12GB/256GB model is priced at ₹41,999.

Citizen has released a new limited-edition model in its Promaster line, partnering with the Royal Air Force’s Red Arrows display team. The new Red Arrows Limited Edition Promaster Skyhawk (model JV2007-52E) is a hybrid analog-digital watch that focuses on aviation tools and durability. It is available now on the Citizen UK website for £695.

Design Details

From a hardware perspective, the Skyhawk is built around a 43mm case made of black ion-plated stainless steel. It comes with a matching triple-link stainless steel bracelet that fastens with a standard fold-over clasp and push buttons.

The top of the case features a rotating slide-rule bezel, which is a traditional mechanical tool pilots historically used for manual fuel and distance calculations. The watch face is covered by an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, a standard material for watches in this price range that prevents scratches and reduces glare.

The dial itself uses a black background with white and red accents. Because it is a hybrid watch, it combines traditional physical hands with digital readout screens to display its various functions. The feature set is extensive and geared toward travel and timing. It includes atomic timekeeping, meaning the watch syncs via radio signals to maintain exact accuracy, alongside standard world-time functions for tracking different time zones.

Additionally, the watch includes a perpetual calendar, a daily alarm, a 99-minute countdown timer, and a 1/100-second chronograph that can measure intervals up to 24 hours. Despite being an aviation-focused watch, it also carries a water resistance rating of 200 meters, meaning it will easily survive swimming or heavy rain.

Citizen is limiting the production of this specific Red Arrows model to 9,999 pieces globally. Each unit ships in a specific limited-edition presentation box.

Timex has released a new fall-themed addition to its ongoing Peanuts collaboration. The latest model is a modified version of the company’s standard Waterbury Classic, featuring seasonal dial artwork of Snoopy jumping into a pile of autumn leaves. It is available now on the Timex US website for $189.

Design Details

The watch shares the same core specifications as the standard 40mm Waterbury Classic. The case is made of polished silver-tone stainless steel, measuring 40mm in diameter, 11mm thick, and 46mm lug-to-lug.

This sizing makes it a fairly standard fit for a wide variety of wrist sizes, avoiding the oversized dimensions found on some modern analog watches. It uses a standard battery-powered quartz analog movement, specifically running on a replaceable SR626SW watch battery, and features a flat mineral crystal over the dial to provide basic scratch resistance for daily wear.

The dial itself is white with full Arabic numerals for the hour markers. To help with visibility in low light, Timex has included a luminant in-fill on the hour and minute hands. Aside from the dial artwork, the other main Peanuts branding is found on the back of the watch, where the stainless steel caseback features an engraved illustration of the wider Peanuts cast.

For the strap, Timex includes a 20mm black leather band with a standard buckle and quick-release spring bars, allowing easy swaps with other 20mm straps. It fits wrists measuring 150mm to 205mm (5.9 to 8.1 inches).

The watch is rated for 50 meters of water resistance. While that rating means it can survive rain, splashes, or light swimming, it isn’t designed for diving or high-pressure water activities.

In related news, Casio has recently launched a new G-Shock watch in the US with heart-rate tracking, solar charging, and tide forecasts, along with a new Pro Trek model featuring a glowing dial, solar charging, and a carabiner attachment.

Lenovo has announced the Legion Cloud Gaming Handheld C700, a new Android-based device designed specifically for cloud gaming and local PC streaming. The handheld is priced at 2,199 yuan ($327), with an early promotional price of 1,999 yuan ($297), and will be available starting September 8.

Lenovo Legion C700 Handheld Specifications

The C700 features a 7.82-inch IPS LCD screen with a 1920 x 1080 resolution and a standard 16:9 aspect ratio. It includes a 120Hz refresh rate, a 180Hz touch sampling rate, and a peak brightness of 500 nits.

Because it relies on streaming rather than processing heavy PC games locally, Lenovo was able to keep the device relatively compact. It measures 14.9mm thick and weighs 556 grams, making it nearly 300 grams lighter than standard Windows-based gaming handhelds.

Inside, the handheld operates on a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 processor. Buyers can choose between configurations with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage or 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, both of which support microSD expansion.

It is powered by an 8,000mAh battery that charges via a USB 2.0 Type-C port. Lenovo says the battery can last up to nine hours during streaming, though actual battery life will vary based on screen brightness, volume, and network conditions. The device also includes an active cooling fan to manage internal temperatures.

For inputs, Lenovo is using an Xbox-style layout. The C700 includes TMR magnetic-resistance joysticks with RGB lighting rings and Hall-effect linear triggers. Alongside the standard ABXY face buttons and an eight-way D-pad, the device features additional customizable rear and shoulder buttons (LC1/RC1 and LC/RC) for mapping complex controls. It also includes dual rotor motors for vibration feedback and a six-axis gyroscope.

The handheld runs on Android 16 and connects via Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3. The inclusion of Wi-Fi 6E allows the device to use the 6GHz band, which generally provides a more stable connection for streaming.

It natively supports Tencent Start Cloud Gaming and Lenovo’s own Legion Stream software for playing games from a local PC. Lenovo says that under optimal network conditions, end-to-end latency can be kept under 10ms, allowing it to handle titles like Black Myth: Wukong at 60fps via the cloud.

The software interface includes a quick-access menu that lets users adjust controller mapping, analog sensitivity, fan speed, and screen refresh rates without exiting their current game. The Legion C700 will be available in a single Ice Soul White color option.

Xiaomi has released a new floor-standing air conditioner in China. The Mijia Air Conditioner Giant Energy-Saving Floor-Standing 5HP is currently available on JD.com for 7,999 yuan (around $1,190).

Mijia Floor-Standing 5HP AC Specifications

It is designed for large spaces, specifically rooms between 50 and 80 square meters, making it an option for both homes and small commercial areas. Inside, the system is powered by a 38.6cc displacement compressor. Xiaomi paired this with a dual-row condenser and a dual-row evaporator.

The unit provides a maximum cooling capacity of 13,200W and a maximum heating capacity of 17,250W. To help adjust room temperatures quickly, the system supports 30-second rapid cooling and 60-second rapid heating. It does not use auxiliary electric heating at all. Instead, it relies entirely on its heat pump, which is built to function in outside temperatures ranging from -35°C to 65°C.

To circulate air, the indoor unit is equipped with a 120mm fan wheel. It can push up to 1,850 cubic meters of air per hour through a 181mm opening. The airflow has a 115-degree spread and can reach up to 17 meters across a room. The system includes four-way airflow adjustments, with specific settings that direct air along the ceiling or the floor so you can avoid a direct breeze.

For efficiency, the unit holds a Class 1 energy rating and an Annual Performance Factor (APF) of 3.75. Xiaomi estimates that its software algorithms can cut energy consumption by roughly 20% during standard use, potentially saving users around 972kWh a year compared to older, less efficient models.

Because it is a Xiaomi product, it connects to the Mijia app, supports XiaoAI voice commands, and works with HyperOS Connect. The software provides cloud-based diagnostics that can identify 122 different hardware issues, like low refrigerant or blockages, and it supports over-the-air updates. Basic maintenance is handled by a self-cleaning cycle that uses a 58°C heating process to dry and clean the indoor evaporator.

The indoor unit is a simple white tower measuring 1,868mm tall and weighing 30kg. It produces about 50 to 52dB(A) of noise at high fan speeds. The outdoor unit weighs 68kg.

In related news, Xiaomi has recently launched the Mijia Smart Air Purifier 6 and Air Purifier 4 Compact in India, as well as the Mijia Pressurized Steam Iron with 500kPa pressure and 135°C steam.

Timex has released a new analog watch (TW2Y89300) in the US market. The Expedition Sierra Chronograph is now available on the company’s website for $179. It is a traditional battery-powered quartz watch, offering standard timekeeping and stopwatch functions rather than any connected or smart features.

Design Details

The watch features a 43mm case made of brass, finished in a brushed silver tone. With a case height of 12.5mm and a lug-to-lug measurement of 52mm, it is a relatively standard size for a modern chronograph, though it might feel a bit large on smaller wrists.

The face is protected by mineral crystal. This is a common material for watches in this price range, providing basic heat and scratch resistance, though it won’t be as durable as the sapphire crystal typically found on more expensive models.

On the dial, Timex went with a straightforward tan color scheme. It uses standard Arabic numerals for the hours and includes a small date window. The chronograph function is displayed across three sub-dials located at the 12, 9, and 6 o’clock positions.

To make the dial easier to read, the main hands and hour markers are coated with luminescent paint for low-light visibility, and the central second hand is painted yellow for a bit of visual contrast.

The watch runs on a standard quartz analog movement powered by an SR920SW battery. The stopwatch function is operated by two standard pushers located above and below the crown, allowing you to start, stop, and reset the timer.

For water resistance, the Expedition Sierra is rated to 100 meters. This means it is fine for surface swimming, snorkeling, or getting caught in the rain, but it is not built for scuba diving. Timex also says that you should not press the chronograph buttons while the watch is wet or submerged.

The model ships with a 20mm tan fabric strap that secures with a basic buckle. According to specs, the strap is designed to fit wrist circumferences between 5.9 and 8.1 inches.

In related news, Timex has recently launched two new affordable Weekender watches with classic dials and quartz movements, while Casio has launched a new G-Shock watch in the US with heart rate tracking, solar charging, and tide forecasts.
