TCL has launched two new desktop gaming monitors, the 32X3B and 27X3B, in China. Both displays are built around fourth-generation Tandem WOLED panels and feature integrated, front-facing speakers tuned by Bang & Olufsen.

TCL 32X3B and 27X3B Specifications

The higher-end 32X3B features a 32-inch fourth-generation Tandem WOLED panel with dual-mode operation, supporting 4K at 240Hz or 1080p at 480Hz. It also offers up to 1,500 nits peak brightness, native 10-bit colour, and 99.5% DCI-P3 colour gamut coverage.

The port selection on the 32-inch model is fairly robust. It includes one DisplayPort 2.1 connection, two HDMI 2.1 ports, and a USB-C port that handles up to 90W of power delivery. It also has a built-in KVM switch with two USB-A ports, making it easier to swap peripherals between a desktop and a plugged-in laptop.

The smaller TCL 27X3B is a 27-inch display with a 1440p resolution and a 280Hz refresh rate. It shares the same 1,500-nit peak brightness and color gamut specs as the 32-inch version, but its connectivity is more basic. It drops the USB-C port and KVM functionality, leaving one DisplayPort 1.4 connection, two HDMI 2.1 ports, and a 3.5mm audio jack.

Both monitors share a 6.4mm-thick chassis design that TCL calls Stargate, which includes rear ambient lighting and a tilt-adjustable stand. To address the text clarity issues that often plague WOLED panels, TCL is using a Matrix-Pure pixel structure designed to reduce color fringing around text and sharp edges.

The displays also use a glossy optical layer with circular polarization; TCL claims this reduces screen reflectivity to 1.1%, which should help maintain black levels if you are using the monitor in a bright room.

Instead of standard downward-firing monitor speakers, both models feature a front-facing speaker chamber developed with Bang & Olufsen. The audio is directed straight at the user and is managed by a dedicated DSP chip with multiple sound profiles.

For longevity, TCL has included its Kunlun Anti-Burn Shield system, a mix of thermal management and software algorithms designed to mitigate OLED burn-in over time.

Pricing and Availability

The TCL 32X3B has a retail price of 7,999 yuan ($1,180), with an early subsidized price of 6,499 yuan ($960). The 27X3B is priced at 4,999 yuan ($738), dropping to 3,699 yuan ($546) during the initial reservation period on JD.com.

In related news, TCL has recently launched the Q95K flagship soundbar, featuring an 11.1.4-channel audio system, 1,420W of total output, and sound tuning developed in collaboration with Bang & Olufsen.

Xiaomi has introduced a new everyday carry bag to its lineup, listing the Mijia Large-Capacity Business Backpack 2 on its Youpin platform. The backpack is set to enter crowdfunding tomorrow with an introductory price of 449 yuan ($66), before moving to its standard retail price of 599 yuan ($88).

Mijia Business Backpack 2 Specifications

The design is straightforward and aimed primarily at commuters or people taking short work trips. It is built from high-density nylon with a few microfiber leather accents. According to Xiaomi, the exterior uses a Liteshield-developed fabric designed to resist water, oil, and stains. The company says that the material went through 50,000 abrasion cycles in standard lab testing, which suggests it should handle regular daily use without wearing out too quickly.

Inside, the backpack offers a 23-liter capacity. Xiaomi compares this amount of space to a small 14-inch suitcase. The bag uses a dual-compartment structure, which is meant to keep your office equipment separate from your clothes or personal items. Because of this layout, the company says it works well for short trips lasting one to three days.

For tech storage, it features a dedicated 16-inch laptop compartment with a suspended design that helps protect the device from direct impacts when the backpack is set down. The compartment is lined with soft velvet padding for additional protection, while a built-in accessories section provides organized storage for chargers, cables, mice, and other tech essentials.

The rest of the storage is fairly standard but practical. There is an accordion-style front pocket, a top pocket for items like IDs or earbuds, and a magnetic pouch for a phone or keys. The two side pockets can hold a 500ml water bottle or an umbrella, and they include a water-resistant lining so a wet umbrella won’t soak the main compartments.

To help with comfort, the backpack has wide, padded shoulder straps and a mesh back panel with airflow channels for ventilation. It also includes a padded top handle and a pass-through strap, allowing you to slide it over the handle of a rolling suitcase when traveling.

In related news, Xiaomi has recently launched a large-capacity 2-in-1 air purifier and humidifier that can humidify a room in as little as seven minutes. The company has also introduced a new affordable electric shaver featuring adaptive power adjustment, an IPX7 water-resistant rating, and USB-C charging support.

Timex has released a new set of watches in collaboration with menswear designer Todd Snyder. The new Todd Snyder x Timex Marlin Mesh collection consists of three quartz watches featuring 34mm cases and stainless steel mesh bracelets. The watches were originally designed to accompany Snyder’s Spring/Summer 2026 runway collection and are now available for purchase.

Design Details

The physical dimensions of the watches are relatively small. The polished stainless steel case measures 34mm in diameter and has a height of 10mm. This compact sizing replicates the proportions of the original Timex Marlin watches produced in the 1960s.

The watch is fitted with an 18mm stainless steel mesh bracelet secured by a fold-over clasp, designed to fit wrists measuring 150mm to 205mm, and includes quick-release spring bars for tool-free strap changes.

Timex is offering the watch in three distinct dial colors: aqua blue (model TW2Y84000), salmon pink (model TW2Y83900), and silver-tone (model TW2Y83800). Each dial has a sunray finish, metallic Roman numerals at the quarter-hour positions, and standard markers for the remaining hours.

The dial is covered by a domed acrylic crystal, a lightweight material commonly used in vintage watches that can be polished to remove minor scratches.

The collection runs on a standard quartz analogue movement powered by an SR626SW battery. Each watch also carries a 30-metre water resistance.

This rating means the watches can withstand accidental splashes of water and hand-washing. However, they are not suitable for swimming, diving, or submersion, and the crown should not be operated while the watch is wet.

Pricing and Availability

The Todd Snyder x Timex Marlin Mesh collection is available now for $199 on the Timex US website.

In related news, Timex has recently introduced the Deepwater Meridian 300 series, featuring a titanium case and 300 metres of water resistance, alongside the retro-inspired 1981 Reissue watch, which sports an ice-blue dial and a compact 35mm case.

Portronics has released a new battery-powered air duster, the Tornado Plus. It is priced at Rs. 2,999 in India and designed to clear dust from electronics like keyboards, PC cases, and camera lenses, as well as car interiors and desk spaces.

Portronics Tornado Plus Specifications

The Tornado Plus weighs 289 grams and uses a standard pistol-grip design. It comes in a matte black plastic casing with orange accents on the triggers and vents. Portronics includes several interchangeable nozzle attachments in the box, which allow users to direct the airflow into tighter spaces like PC cooling vents, narrow car dashboard gaps, or between mechanical keyboard switches.

Inside, the duster is equipped with a 160-watt brushless motor. It features three distinct speed settings to manage the airflow depending on the task at hand. The lowest setting operates at 25,000 RPM, which is intended for clearing loose dust off delicate components without causing damage. The medium setting increases the speed to 60,000 RPM, while the maximum setting pushes the motor to 130,000 RPM for clearing out heavier, stuck-on dirt buildup.

The device is powered by two 3,000mAh batteries. Battery life depends entirely on the speed setting used. On the lowest gear, the duster can run for up to 30 minutes. This drops to 25 minutes on the medium setting, and just 10 minutes if you run it continuously at the maximum speed. Charging is handled via a standard USB-C port located on the handle. It takes approximately three hours to fully recharge the device using a standard wall adapter, laptop port, or power bank.

Portronics has also built in a few standard safety features to manage the motor’s heat and power draw. The duster has an overcurrent limit set to 15A and an automatic shutoff mechanism that triggers if the internal temperature gets too high. Additionally, it will automatically power down after three minutes of inactivity to preserve battery life.

Pricing and Availability

The Tornado Plus is available now. While the listed MRP is Rs. 3,999, the current retail price is Rs. 2,999. It can be purchased directly from the Portronics website, Amazon India, Flipkart, and various offline electronics retailers. The device comes with a standard 12-month warranty.

In related news, Portronics has recently expanded its product lineup with the Pure Sound Pro X2, a 150W 5.1-channel home theater system featuring a soundbar, alongside a new compact 10,000mAh power bank that comes with a built-in USB-C cable.

TCL has announced the Q95K soundbar today in China. It is an 11.1.4-channel audio system with a peak output of 1,420W. The system is built to support modern home theater and gaming setups, focusing on physical surround speakers and high-bandwidth connectivity rather than relying solely on virtualized audio.

TCL Q95K Soundbar Specifications

The Q95K comes as a four-piece set: the main soundbar, a wireless subwoofer, and two wireless rear speakers. Together, they house 22 speaker drivers across 16 physical channels. The main unit outputs the front, center, side surround, wide surround, and front height channels. The two wireless rear speakers add rear surround and rear height channels to support spatial audio formats like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X.

TCL worked with Bang & Olufsen to tune the audio. The soundbar also uses B&O’s Beosonic interface, which lets users adjust sound profiles via a mobile app. Inside, the Q95K runs on a MediaTek MT8532 processor and uses 12 separate amplifier chips.

TCL says this separates the amplification for different driver groups to reduce channel interference. The system has a frequency response range of 30Hz to 20kHz and uses aluminum diaphragms with neodymium magnets. The wireless subwoofer uses two 7-inch opposing drivers, a layout meant to reduce cabinet vibration during heavier bass output.

For connectivity, the Q95K includes three HDMI 2.1 ports with 48Gbps bandwidth. It supports 4K video passthrough at 144Hz, Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), and HDMI eARC. It also supports Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth, Spotify, and Apple AirPlay 2.

The soundbar includes a feature called T-Chord, which syncs its audio with the built-in speakers on compatible TCL TVs. It also has a room calibration tool in the TCL app and a dual-mode optimization setting that automatically adjusts the sound profile depending on whether the 6.87cm-thick bar is wall-mounted or placed on a table.

TCL also announced two other models. The Q85K is a 7.1.2-channel system with 16 drivers and 1,180W peak output. The Q75K is another 7.1.2-channel system, but with 14 drivers and 580W peak output.

Pricing and Availability

All three models launched in China today, July 27. The Q95K costs 6,999 yuan ($1,034), the Q85K is 5,999 yuan ($886), and the Q75K is 4,699 yuan ($694).

In related news, TCL has recently unveiled an affordable 360Hz gaming monitor featuring a 1440p Mini LED display.

Citizen has added a new model to its US catalog with the release of the BJ6570-50E, categorized under the Addysen line. The watch is priced at $450. It is a rectangular, stainless steel dress watch that operates on the company’s Eco-Drive solar technology rather than a standard disposable battery or a mechanical movement.

Design Details

The case is constructed from silver-tone stainless steel. It features a rectangular shape, measuring 36mm in length and 26.5mm in width. The dial is black and uses applied Roman numerals for the hour markers. The watch face is covered by sapphire crystal, a material standard in this price range because it provides higher scratch resistance and hardness compared to basic mineral glass or acrylic.

The watch comes with a matching silver-tone, seven-link stainless steel bracelet. It secures to the wrist using a fold-over clasp equipped with push buttons for release. The lug width, the space where the bracelet attaches to the watch case, measures 20mm.

Internally, the BJ6570-50E runs on Citizen’s E037 Eco-Drive movement. This is a solar-powered quartz system. It functions by utilizing a solar cell positioned beneath the dial. This cell absorbs both natural sunlight and artificial indoor light, converting that light into electrical energy.

The energy is then stored in a rechargeable power cell that drives the movement. Because the system continually recharges with ambient light exposure, the watch does not require the routine battery replacements associated with standard quartz watches.

For water resistance, the watch is rated at 50 meters, which is equivalent to 5 Bar or 166 feet. This rating makes the watch suitable for still water swimming. In practical terms, it can withstand rain, hand washing, and shallow submersion, but it lacks the necessary seals for high-pressure water activities, water sports, or diving.

Pricing and Availability

The Citizen Addysen (BJ6570-50E) is available now through Citizen’s US website and select retail locations for $450. The watch pictures in the listing also reveal additional colourways, which are expected to launch at a later date.

In related news, Citizen has recently introduced two new gold-tone Tsuyosa 60 automatic watches, alongside the limited-edition Tsuyosa Shore, which combines vintage diver-inspired styling with an automatic movement.

Thunderobot is releasing a new 24.5-inch gaming monitor, the 25Q6A Pro, on July 31. The display has an official retail price of 1,649 yuan (around $244) in China. The company has also mentioned a subsidized launch price starting somewhere in the 1,300 yuan ($192) range, though the exact final discount hasn’t been confirmed yet.

Thunderobot 25Q6A Pro Specifications

The monitor features a 24.5-inch Fast IPS panel manufactured by TCL under its FFALCON brand ecosystem, with a 2560 x 1440 resolution and a 16:9 aspect ratio. For gaming, it offers a 360Hz refresh rate and a 1ms GTG response time to deliver smoother motion and quicker pixel response.

For lighting, the monitor relies on a Mini LED backlight system. It features 180 local dimming zones, which helps improve black levels by turning off the backlight in darker areas of the screen. This setup gives the monitor a dynamic contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1, compared to its standard static contrast of 1000:1. It can also reach a peak brightness of 800 nits and has a DisplayHDR 600 certification.

On the color side, Thunderobot says the panel covers 95% of the DCI-P3 color gamut and 99% of the sRGB space, with a factory color accuracy of ΔE < 2. It also includes support for variable refresh rates through AMD FreeSync Premium and Nvidia G-Sync compatibility to help prevent screen tearing.

The physical hardware is fairly standard. The monitor measures 556 x 226 x 501 mm and weighs 5.3 kg with the stand attached, or 3.3 kg without it. The included grey stand allows for height adjustments and rotation, and there is a standard 100 x 100 mm VESA mount on the back if you prefer to use a monitor arm.

For connectivity, it has HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 inputs, along with a standard audio output jack. It doesn’t have built-in speakers and uses a 65W external power adapter. The monitor also includes basic eye-care features, such as DC dimming to prevent screen flickering and a hardware-level low-blue-light mode.

In related news, Lenovo has recently launched an affordable 280Hz gaming monitor with a 27-inch IPS panel, while Philips has unveiled a budget-friendly 425Hz gaming monitor featuring a 27-inch 2K display.

Wallhack, a company primarily known for making glass mousepads, is releasing its first keyboard. The K-001 is a wired, 65% mechanical keyboard that uses magnetic Hall Effect switches. It is designed mainly for competitive gaming, where adjustable key inputs are becoming a standard requirement.

Wallhack K-001 Specifications

The K-001 is built from CNC-machined 6063 aluminum and comes in two standard colors: Natural and Slate. It uses a fixed mounting system for adjusting the typing angle.

The keyboard sits flat at zero degrees out of the box. If you want an angle, you have to use an included screwdriver to attach one of two solid aluminum risers to the bottom, which tilt the board at either 4 or 7 degrees.

Inside, the keyboard uses a tray mount design with a black anodized aluminum plate. There are four layers of sound-dampening material, including a silicone mid-layer and foam, to reduce hollow noises when typing.

For the switches, Wallhack partnered with Gateron to make the KS-TR Linear magnetic switches. The keyboard comes standard with the medium-weight version (48-63gf), though light and heavy variants will be sold separately.

Because the switches are magnetic, you can adjust the exact point where a keypress registers, down to a 0.01mm resolution, and enable rapid trigger features. You don’t necessarily need software to change this; there is a physical stepped dial on the top right of the keyboard that lets you adjust the actuation point and rapid trigger sensitivity directly.

The keycaps are double-shot PBT. Wallhack added a specific light guide to the switches that directs the LED lighting straight up through the keycap letters. The goal here is to prevent the backlight from bleeding out around the edges of the keys onto the switch plate.

On the technical side, the K-001 has an 8,000Hz polling rate and a 16,000Hz scan rate. For software configuration, Wallhack is using a web-based tool called Wallhack Terminal. Instead of downloading a dedicated app to your computer, you use a browser to change deeper settings like gamepad emulation or SOCD rules.

Wallhack hasn’t yet revealed the pricing and availability details.

In related news, Lenovo has recently unveiled the Legion R7 RT75 gaming keyboard with a TFT display and Hall effect switches.

Ugreen has released a new entry into the Bluetooth tracker market, addressing one of the most common hardware complaints about Apple’s AirTag: it actually fits inside a wallet. The Ugreen FineTrack Slim Duo 2 is a card-style tracker that has officially launched in the US and European markets, available through Amazon for $29.99 in the US and starting at €29.99 across the Eurozone.

Ugreen FineTrack Slim Duo 2 Specifications

The tracker features cross-platform compatibility, supporting both Apple’s Find My network on iPhones and iPads running iOS 14.5 or later and Google’s Find Hub network on Android devices running Android 9.0 or newer. However, it can only be connected to one ecosystem at a time and cannot use both networks simultaneously.

Physically, the tracker is very thin, measuring between 1.7mm and 1.9mm thick. It has an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance, so it should survive rain or an accidental drop in a puddle. If you misplace your wallet around the house, you can trigger a built-in buzzer that gets as loud as 110dB to help you locate it, provided you are within a 10-meter Bluetooth range.

The battery life is estimated to last between five and seven years. Because the device is so thin, the battery is completely sealed and cannot be replaced. When it eventually dies, you will have to dispose of the tracker and buy a new one. This is a standard trade-off for card-style trackers, but it remains an environmental downside.

Ugreen also included a couple of extra utilities. The card features built-in RFID shielding to block unauthorized scanning of the credit cards sitting next to it in your wallet. It also supports Left Behind alerts that ping your phone if you leave the tracker somewhere, though Ugreen says this specific notification feature only works on iOS for now.

In related news, Ugreen has recently launched the Max5s headphones with LDAC audio, 45dB ANC, AI-powered features, and up to 112 hours of battery life, alongside an ultra-slim 100W charger that is powerful enough to charge laptops.

Citizen has released two new versions of its Tsuyosa 60 automatic watch in the US and UK markets. Both models are priced at $675 or £429 and feature a yellow gold-tone stainless steel finish. The primary difference between the two releases is the case size: one measures 37mm (model NK0032-56A) and the other measures 40mm (model NK0022-50A).

Design Details

The design of the Tsuyosa 60 centers around an integrated stainless steel bracelet, meaning the watch case and the band connect directly without traditional protruding lugs.

Both the 37mm and 40mm sizes include a textured dial, applied indices for the hour markers, and a date window located at the 3 o’clock position. The dial is covered by sapphire crystal, a material typical for watches in this price tier that provides standard scratch resistance. The bracelet fastens using a deployant clasp with push buttons.

Inside the case, both watches operate on Citizen’s caliber 8310 automatic movement. As a mechanical movement, it does not require a battery. It winds itself using an internal oscillating weight that rotates with the natural movement of the wearer’s arm.

The 60 in the product name refers to the watch’s 60-hour power reserve. In practical terms, a 60-hour reserve means a user can take the watch off on a Friday evening, and it will still be ticking on Monday morning, avoiding the need to manually rewind or reset the time after a weekend of not wearing it.

Citizen lists the water resistance for both models at 50 meters (5 Bar). The manufacturer says this is suitable for still water swimming. Generally, a 50-meter rating is adequate for everyday water exposure, such as washing hands or getting caught in the rain, but it is not intended for diving or high-impact water sports.

In related news, Citizen has recently unveiled the limited-edition Tsuyosa Shore, a vintage-inspired diver-style watch powered by an automatic movement.

Lenovo has introduced a new budget gaming monitor in China, the Legion 27-1r. It is priced at 789 yuan (roughly $116) and features a native 280Hz refresh rate aimed at gamers seeking high-refresh-rate performance at an affordable price.

Lenovo Legion 27-1r Specifications

The monitor uses a 27-inch IPS panel with a 1920 x 1080 Full HD resolution. The panel features a native 280Hz refresh rate and a 0.5ms MPRT response time, with adjustable GTG settings from 1ms to 4ms. It also supports VESA AdaptiveSync and Nvidia G-Sync to reduce screen tearing and deliver smoother gameplay.

For color and brightness, the IPS panel covers 99% of the sRGB color space and reaches a typical brightness of 400 nits. It supports 8-bit color depth, though it uses a 6-bit + FRC (Frame Rate Control) method to display 16.7 million colors. Lenovo also included hardware-level low-blue-light technology with EyeSafe 2.0 certification, designed to reduce blue light without adding a yellow tint to the screen.

The port selection dictates how the monitor performs. It has one DisplayPort 1.4 input and two HDMI 2.1 TMDS inputs, along with a 3.5mm audio jack. To use the full 280Hz refresh rate, the PC must be connected via DisplayPort. The HDMI ports are capped at a 240Hz refresh rate.

Lenovo equips the Legion 27-1r with a fully adjustable stand that supports height, tilt, swivel, and pivot adjustments, while a 100 x 100mm VESA mount allows compatibility with third-party monitor arms and wall mounts.

In related news, Philips has recently unveiled an affordable gaming monitor that combines a 27-inch 1440p display with a 425Hz refresh rate, while Asus has introduced the ROG Strix XG259QNSR Ace, an esports-focused monitor featuring a 420Hz Fast IPS panel.

The release is built on the DW6900, a digital G-Shock model that has been part of the brand’s core lineup for decades. The overall shape and layout remain unchanged, including the round case, front-facing button, and three-eye digital display. What’s different here is the color treatment and branding details tied to Midnight Organic.

The watch comes in a bright orange finish that reflects both Midnight Organic’s identity and Larry June’s personal 1987 Chevrolet C4 Corvette, which inspired the design. Casio says the metallic accents on the band loop and dial reference the Corvette’s stock silver and medium gray exterior. The bezel and strap follow the orange tone associated with the clothing brand.

There are a few collaboration-specific touches. The case back features a special engraving of the Midnight Organic 1991® logo and the phrase YOU’RE DOING GOOD. When the LED backlight is activated, the display reveals the message Good Job! Packaging has also been customized, using Midnight Organic branding and an orange color scheme inspired by the Corvette’s bright interior.

From a technical standpoint, the DW6900MO26-4 keeps the standard features of the 6900 series. It has shock-resistant construction and 200-meter water resistance. The resin case measures 53.2 x 50 x 18.7 mm and weighs 67 grams. Casio uses bio-based resin for parts of the case and band. The watch runs on a CR2016 battery with an estimated lifespan of about five years.

Core functions include a stopwatch, countdown timer, multi-function alarm, hourly time signal, and flash alert. It also features a Super Illuminator LED backlight with afterglow, a full auto-calendar, and support for both 12- and 24-hour formats.

In related news, Casio has recently unveiled a striking gold-tone stainless steel watch featuring a vibrant green dial, while also expanding its US lineup with a series of retro-inspired timepieces that pair clean dial designs with stainless steel cases.

Lenovo has expanded its gaming peripheral lineup with the release of the Legion R7 RT75. It is a 75% layout keyboard that combines a full aluminum body with customizable magnetic switches. The keyboard is priced at 1,299 yuan ($192) and is available in Cloud Silver Grey and Storm Grey color options.

Lenovo Legion R7 RT75 Specifications

The keyboard uses Lenovo’s Aurora magnetic switches with Hall effect sensors, allowing adjustable actuation points from 0.01mm to 3.4mm. It also supports 0.01mm Rapid Trigger precision for faster key resets and includes advanced gaming features such as SOCD, RS, MT, and DKS for competitive play.

To process these inputs, the keyboard uses a custom controller that provides an 8,000Hz polling rate over both USB-C wired and 2.4GHz wireless connections. Lenovo says that the device operates with a 32,000Hz scan rate, which the company claims keeps full-key latency fluctuation down to 0.125ms.

The R7 RT75 weighs approximately 1,490g and features a CNC-machined aluminium body, a gasket-mounted structure, and a carbon fibre positioning plate. It also includes five layers of sound-dampening materials, hot-swappable magnetic switch support, and factory-lubricated stabilisers for improved typing feel and acoustics.

On the top right of the board, there is a 1.47-inch TFT display with a 320 x 172 resolution. It shows system information, battery life, and connection modes, and it can also display user-uploaded GIFs. There’s also a magnetic cover on the back of the keyboard that conceals a storage slot for the 2.4GHz wireless receiver.

The keyboard supports tri-mode connectivity, allowing users to connect via wired USB-C, 2.4GHz wireless, or Bluetooth. The Bluetooth mode can pair with up to three devices simultaneously, and the keyboard is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux. Power is supplied by an 8,000mAh internal battery.

For lighting, the R7 RT75 includes per-key RGB illumination and two ambient light bars on the sides. The lighting, along with the switch actuation settings and display, can be customized using Lenovo’s Aurora software.

In related news, Lenovo has recently introduced the Lecoo Pro 14, a notebook that offers Intel and AMD processor options, up to 24GB of RAM, and OCuLink support for external GPUs.

Ugreen has introduced a new 100W charger in China, offering a flatter, more portable alternative to standard block-style power adapters. The Ugreen 100W Mini Ice GaN charger (model X876) is priced at 189 yuan, which converts to about $28.

Ugreen 100W Mini Ice GaN Charger Specifications

The charger comes with an unusual physical footprint. It measures 90.2 x 55.6 x 18.2 mm and weighs 178 grams. Rather than the usual cube shape, Ugreen opted for a card-like design that is noticeably thinner. It also includes foldable prongs, allowing it to slide into pockets or laptop sleeves more easily without the plug catching on fabric or scratching other devices in a bag.

For connectivity, the charger includes three ports: two USB-C and one USB-A. Both USB-C ports can deliver the full 100W of power when used individually. This provides enough wattage to charge most modern laptops, with Ugreen saying that a 2022 MacBook Air can reach a 53% charge in 30 minutes. The single USB-A port outputs up to 22.5W, making it a practical option for older cables and low-draw accessories like smartwatches, cameras, or wireless earbuds.

Internally, the charger relies on Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology and Ugreen’s AirPyra stacking architecture. This internal layout is what allows the device to achieve a power density of 1.09W/cm³ while remaining relatively slim. Heat management is a common challenge for compact chargers, so Ugreen has integrated a thermal monitoring system.

The company says this system checks temperatures constantly throughout the day, dynamically adjusting the power delivery to prevent overheating. It also includes nine standard safety mechanisms, such as short-circuit, over-voltage, and over-current protection.

The charger supports a wide variety of fast-charging protocols, including PD 3.0, PPS, QC 3.0, AFC, and FCP. This ensures it will work efficiently with hardware from Apple, Samsung, Lenovo, and other major manufacturers.

Last month, Ugreen also introduced a similar 65W GaN charger featuring three ports, foldable prongs, and a slim design measuring less than 15mm.

Philips has introduced a new 27-inch gaming monitor in China, the 27M2N5500X, which combines a 1440p resolution with a 425Hz refresh rate. The monitor is currently listed on JD.com with a retail price of 1,899 yuan, which converts to approximately $280.

Philips 27M2N5500X Specifications

The monitor is built around a Fast IPS panel with a 2560 x 1440 resolution. The panel runs natively at 400Hz and can be overclocked to 425Hz. To support these high frame rates, it includes a 1ms gray-to-gray (GTG) response time and a 0.3ms MPRT (Moving Picture Response Time) to minimize motion blur.

It also includes standard variable refresh rate support, including G-Sync compatibility, to prevent screen tearing during gameplay. Additionally, the company includes a feature it calls Zero-Sense Sync Acceleration, which is intended to reduce input lag between the graphics card and the display.

Regarding color and brightness, the 27M2N5500X supports 10-bit color depth and covers 100% of the sRGB gamut, alongside 97% of the DCI-P3 color space. Philips says that the monitors are factory-calibrated to a Delta E value of less than 2. The panel has a typical brightness of 350 nits and a standard 1000:1 contrast ratio, and it carries a basic VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification.

Philips has also integrated several software features for games. These include an AI-assisted crosshair that adjusts its color based on the background, a digital zoom function called Sniper Window, and a shadow enhancement tool that brightens darker areas on the screen. For general use, the monitor incorporates circular polarization and low blue light filters to reduce eye strain.

The physical design includes an ergonomic stand that allows for 130mm of height adjustment, as well as tilt, swivel, and pivot rotation. It is also compatible with standard 100 x 100mm VESA mounts.

For connectivity, the monitor provides one DisplayPort 1.4 connection, two HDMI 2.1 ports, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. It also supports Picture-in-Picture (PIP) and Picture-by-Picture (PBP) modes for users connecting multiple devices simultaneously.

In related news, Asus has recently introduced the ROG Strix XG259QNSR Ace, a 420Hz esports monitor featuring a Fast IPS panel.

Citizen is adding a new limited-edition model to its Tsuyosa line of integrated-bracelet watches: the Tsuyosa Shore Timeslip (NJ0238-57E). It is scheduled to launch in the US in August 2026 for $462.5. In the UK, however, the watch has already been listed and is currently available to order for £349. Citizen says production will be capped at 12,000 pieces globally.

Design Details

The Tsuyosa line has traditionally been defined by its integrated bracelet design and minimalist, brightly colored dials. The Shore Timeslip pivots from this formula by incorporating standard dive-watch hardware.

The watch features a 40mm stainless steel case that measures 12.5mm thick. The most obvious change from the base Tsuyosa is the addition of a 120-click unidirectional bezel. Citizen paired this with a textured, gradient black dial alongside gold-tone indices and hands.

The dial is protected by an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, which includes a magnifier over the three o’clock date window. For low-light visibility, standard luminous material is applied to both the hands and the hour markers. The case integrates directly into a three-link stainless steel bracelet equipped with a push-button fold-over clasp.

Inside, the watch runs on Citizen’s in-house Calibre 8210 automatic movement, which is visible through a transparent display case back. The 21-jewel movement operates at 21,600 vibrations per hour and holds a 42-hour power reserve.

It also includes a hacking seconds function, meaning the seconds hand stops when you pull the crown out, allowing for precise time setting. The stated accuracy is between -20 and +40 seconds per day. That will not compete with high-end chronometers, but it is entirely standard for mechanical movements in the sub-$500 category.

Despite the dive watch styling, the Shore Timeslip is rated for 100 meters of water resistance. That means it isn’t an ISO-certified professional diver, but it is more than capable of handling swimming, snorkeling, and everyday water exposure.

In related news, Casio has recently unveiled a striking gold-tone stainless steel watch paired with a green dial, while also introducing a limited-edition G-Shock inspired by Nintendo’s Mother 3.

Indian audio brand boAt has added a new set of over-ear headphones to its Nirvana lineup. The Nirvana Eutopia 2 ANC is priced at Rs. 4,999 ($52) and offers high-resolution audio support and adaptive noise cancellation in the sub-5,000-rupee market segment.

boAt Nirvana Eutopia 2 ANC Specifications

Inside the earcups, boAt is using a dual-driver configuration. Each side houses a standard 40mm driver paired with a smaller 10mm driver. The headphones support Hi-Res Audio and utilize the LDAC codec, which allows for higher bitrate audio streaming (up to 990kbps at 96kHz/24bit) over Bluetooth compared to standard SBC or AAC codecs. The company has also included a 3D Spatial Audio feature designed to widen the soundstage for supported media.

For noise isolation, the Eutopia 2 features a 45dB Adaptive Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation system. Instead of a fixed level of noise blocking, the adaptive ANC is built to adjust automatically based on the surrounding environment, shifting between travel, indoor, and outdoor profiles.

For voice calls, the headphones use boAt’s AI ENx technology, which is designed to filter out background ambient noise and isolate the user’s voice for better clarity.

The headphones are equipped with an 800mAh battery. boAt says this will provide up to 80 hours of continuous playback with ANC disabled, and around 50 hours with ANC turned on. Charging is handled via USB-C, taking about 2.5 hours for a full charge, while a 10-minute quick charge provides an estimated 12 hours of listening time.

On the outside, the Eutopia 2 ANC features a foldable, swivel design with memory foam ear cushions and a soft leatherette finish. They carry an IPX4 rating for basic splash and sweat resistance. Connectivity is powered by Bluetooth 5.4, which includes support for Google Fast Pair (GFPS) and multipoint connection to easily switch between compatible devices.

For controls, it uses physical buttons for playback, volume adjustment, voice assistant access, and ANC toggling. You can also fine-tune EQ settings and customize various features through the boAt Hearables companion app.

The boAt Nirvana Eutopia 2 ANC is available in two color options: Cosmic Black and Utopian White. You can find them on boAt’s official website and Amazon India.

In related news, Edifier has recently unveiled the R1000TC II desktop speakers, featuring 42W output and Bluetooth 6.0 connectivity.

Xiaomi has introduced a new portable charger to the Indian market: the Power Bank 5i 20000 67W. It is priced at Rs. 3,299 and will be available in Jet Black and Ice Blue starting July 28 through Xiaomi’s website, Amazon India, and physical retail stores.

Xiaomi Power Bank 5i Specifications

The power bank features a built-in USB-C cable that also doubles as a carrying loop. Xiaomi says the TPU cable has been tested for up to 5,000 bends to ensure durability during everyday use.

Inside the chassis, the power bank is equipped with three 6,700mAh lithium-ion cells, resulting in a total capacity of 20,000mAh, or roughly 74.37Wh. Because this capacity is under the 100Wh threshold, the device complies with standard international aviation regulations and is permitted in carry-on luggage for air travel.

For charging speeds, the Power Bank 5i supports a maximum output of 67W. This is sufficient to fast-charge most modern smartphones and can also provide power to larger devices like tablets and lightweight laptops, such as the MacBook Air. Recharging the power bank itself maxes out at 65W, meaning the battery pack can be topped up relatively quickly if you use a compatible high-wattage wall adapter.

The device includes three output options: the integrated USB-C cable, an additional USB-C port, and a standard USB-A port. It is capable of charging three devices simultaneously, though the total power output is distributed across the active ports when multiple are in use. It supports standard charging protocols, including Power Delivery (PD) 3.0 with Programmable Power Supply (PPS) and Quick Charge 3.5.

For smaller accessories like wireless earbuds or smartwatches, the power bank includes a low-current charging mode. The USB-C ports detect these devices automatically, while the USB-A port requires a double-press of the power button to activate the mode.

On the front, a digital display indicates the remaining battery percentage, current charging status, and alerts for low-current mode or hardware malfunctions. Xiaomi has also included dual NTC thermal sensors to monitor temperatures during use, along with 12 standard layers of circuit protection to prevent issues like overcharging and short circuits.

In related news, Belkin has recently unveiled a new 10,000mAh power bank that combines 45W fast charging with a built-in motion-sensing night light.

Lenovo has launched the Lecoo Pro 14 in China, a new 14-inch thin-and-light laptop that emphasizes connectivity, upgradeability, and external GPU support. It is available in both Intel and AMD variants and carries a suggested retail price of 5,799 yuan (around $856).

Lenovo Lecoo Pro 14 Specifications

You can choose between an Intel Core Ultra 5 135H or an AMD Ryzen 7 H 255 processor. Both configurations come standard with 24GB of LPDDR5 memory and a 512GB PCIe solid-state drive.

The AMD model utilizes 6400MT/s memory, while the Intel model runs at 5600MT/s. Both versions feature dual M.2 2280 SSD slots, a practical inclusion that allows you to upgrade or add storage later.

The display hardware is identical across both models. Lenovo is using a 14-inch, 2.8K (2880 x 1800) panel with a 120Hz refresh rate. It peaks at 400 nits of brightness, covers 100% of the sRGB color space, and uses a matte anti-glare coating with DC dimming to reduce flicker. The chassis features aluminum alloy on the top and bottom covers, weighs 1.48kg, and includes a hinge that opens flat to 180 degrees.

Where the Lecoo Pro 14 separates itself from typical thin-and-lights is its port selection. Lenovo has included a dedicated OCuLink interface on the motherboard. This port provides a direct PCIe connection for external desktop graphics cards, offering significantly more bandwidth and lower latency than standard Thunderbolt or USB4 connections for eGPU setups.

Alongside the OCuLink port, the laptop includes two USB-C ports (one being a 40Gbps USB4 port), three USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports, an HDMI 2.1 output, a Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 jack, a microSD card reader, and a standard 3.5mm audio jack.

To handle thermals, Lenovo is using a dual-fan rear exhaust system capable of sustaining a 65W TDP in its highest performance mode. The cooling setups differ slightly between the two models, with the Intel version utilizing three heat pipes and the AMD version using two.

Power is supplied by an 80Wh battery, which charges via an included 100W GaN USB-C adapter. Rounding out the spec sheet is a 1080p webcam with a physical privacy shutter, Wi-Fi 6 support, and a fingerprint reader integrated into the power button. The laptop ships with Windows 11 Home pre-installed.

In related news, Lenovo has recently unveiled the Legion R9000X 2026, powered by the Ryzen AI Max+ 392 with Radeon 8060S graphics and a 165Hz OLED display.

HMD has added a new feature phone to its lineup called the Nokia 123 Shield. The company is positioning it as its most affordable option with water and dust resistance, aimed primarily at people who work outside or just want a cheap backup device. HMD hasn’t announced an official global price yet, but retail listings in Bulgaria and Greece have it priced between €35 and €40.

Nokia 123 Shield Specifications

The design of the phone is very straightforward. It has a textured plastic exterior on the sides to make it easier to grip. To keep water, sand, and dust out, there is a rubber flap covering the ports on the bottom. Under that flap, you will find a standard 3.5mm headphone jack and a USB-C port.

The internal hardware is basic. It runs on the S30+ operating system and uses a Unisoc SC6531E processor. The phone comes with just 4MB of RAM and 4MB of internal storage. If you want to store files or listen to music, you have to use a MicroSD card, and the device supports cards up to 32GB. The screen is a 2.4-inch QVGA display. On the back, there is a low-resolution QVGA camera and an LED flash.

Feature phones usually offer long battery life, and the 123 Shield is built to do the same. It has a removable 1,750 mAh battery. HMD says it can provide up to 27.9 hours of continuous talk time and can stay powered on standby for up to 19 days.

The phone also includes an FM radio that works with or without wired headphones. Additionally, there is a built-in flashlight, which HMD says is brighter than the one on the older Nokia 110 model.

The Nokia 123 Shield only supports 2G networks (GSM 900 and 1800 bands) using a dual Mini SIM setup. While HMD says the phone is optimized to hold a signal well for clear calls, the reality is that 2G networks are currently being shut down in many countries.

The Nokia 123 Shield weighs 108 grams and comes in two colors: green and purple.

In related news, HMD is reportedly working on reviving the classic Lumia-style tile interface.

Casio has officially released the MTP1302PGC-3AV in the US market. The analog watch, which has already been available in several other regions, is now listed for $120. It is a straightforward, battery-powered timepiece that focuses strictly on basic timekeeping rather than smart features or complex mechanical movements.

Design Details

From a design standpoint, the MTP1302PGC-3AV leans into a classic aesthetic. The watch features a gold ion-plated case and a matching stainless steel band secured by a triple-fold clasp. This gold hardware is paired with an emerald-green sunburst dial, giving the watch a distinct contrast.

The watch measures 44.2 x 38.5 x 9.4 mm, giving it a standard footprint that should fit most wrists (compatible with band sizes from 150 to 205 mm) without appearing overly bulky.

It weighs in at 105 grams, which provides a substantial feel on the wrist without being uncomfortably heavy for daily wear. The dial is protected by standard mineral glass, a typical material choice for watches in this price bracket.

Functionally, Casio is keeping things basic. The watch features a standard three-hand analog display, tracking hours, minutes, and seconds, alongside a date window positioned at the 3 o’clock mark.

It is rated for 50 meters (5 bar) of water resistance. This means the watch can handle splashes, rain, and brief periods of swimming, though it is not intended for diving or high-impact water sports.

Inside the case, the watch is powered by a standard SR626SW button-cell battery. Casio estimates the battery life at approximately three years before requiring a replacement.

I actually have this watch in my own rotation, and it’s been a great, reliable piece to wear.

In related news, Casio has recently introduced a new lineup of retro-inspired watches featuring clean dials and stainless steel cases in the US.

Cuktech has released a new car charging accessory in China that integrates both magnetic wireless charging and a retractable USB-C cable into a single unit. The Cuktech 10 Car Magnetic Wireless Charger with Retractable Cable is currently available on JD.com for 149 yuan ($22).

Cuktech 10 Car Charger Specs

The wireless charging output is standard, maxing out at 15W for supported devices. For iPhone users, the wireless output is limited to 7.5W. The charger does not support the newer Qi2 standard, which means it cannot provide 15W magnetic wireless charging to recent Apple hardware.

To access faster charging speeds, the mount includes a built-in 0.7-meter USB-C cable. The cable sits inside the housing and can be pulled out when needed, using an alloy mechanism to retract back into place to keep the car interior organized. Cuktech says the mechanism has been tested for 20,000 pulls and the cable for 10,000 bends.

When using the wired connection, the charger can output up to 90W. It supports several fast-charging protocols, including USB PD, PPS, QC, and Xiaomi’s HyperCharge. Based on the specs, it delivers up to 90W for compatible Xiaomi phones, 65W for select laptops, 60W for Samsung devices, and 43W for Huawei hardware.

Power is delivered through an included dual-circuit 12V to 24V car adapter. Because the circuits operate independently, you can charge one device via the mount and another via the adapter’s separate USB-A port without the two channels interfering with each other’s power output.

The main unit measures 80 x 59 x 42 mm. The front panel is made of 6H-rated 2.5D tempered glass to resist scratches, while the rest of the housing uses flame-retardant materials. It attaches to the car using a standard 17mm ball joint, allowing for 360-degree rotation.

The package includes a TPE air vent clip, and select bundles come with a 3M adhesive dashboard base. Internal safety features include a separated structure for heat dissipation, temperature management, and standard protections against overvoltage, overcurrent, and short circuits.

In related news, Cuktech has recently launched the Power Bank 600, which delivers up to 600W output and can power appliances and tools outdoors.

Asus just listed a new monitor aimed specifically at competitive gamers, the ROG Strix XG259QNSR Ace. If you are looking for a high-resolution display for cinematic single-player games, this isn’t it. Instead, Asus is leaning entirely into speed, pairing a 24.5-inch 1080p panel with a 420Hz overclocked refresh rate.

Asus Strix XG259QNSR Ace Specifications

In 2026, releasing a 1080p monitor might sound outdated to casual players, but it remains the standard for esports titles like Counter-Strike 2 and Valorant. In those games, pushing the highest possible frame rate and minimizing input lag is the priority. To that end, Asus is using a Fast IPS panel that it claims can reach a minimum response time of 0.3ms.

To help with motion clarity at 420Hz, the monitor includes Asus’s ELMB Sync technology. This allows backlight strobing to work at the same time as variable refresh rate (VRR) features like G-Sync and FreeSync Premium. It also features Variable Overdrive 2.0 to adjust pixel response times on the fly as your frame rate changes.

The color specs are fairly standard for a modern IPS display. It covers 90% of the DCI-P3 color space and 115% of sRGB. It has a VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification, though you shouldn’t expect much from HDR on a standard edge-lit IPS panel.

Asus is also leaning into the current industry trend by marketing ROG Gaming AI features. In practice, this translates to a dynamic crosshair that changes color so it doesn’t blend into the background, and a shadow boost feature that brightens dark corners without blowing out the rest of the image. You can control these settings through the DisplayWidget Center desktop app.

Physically, the monitor has a smaller stand footprint. It supports standard tilt, swivel, pivot, and height adjustments. For connectivity, you get DisplayPort 1.4, which you will need to use to actually hit 420Hz, and HDMI ports.

Pricing and Availability

Asus hasn’t announced pricing or a specific release date yet, but the monitor will be available in standard black, with a white version offered as an option.

In related news, AOC has recently launched the 13.3-inch 13T5S portable monitor featuring a 3K Kaleido 3 color E Ink display, while Lenovo has introduced the ThinkVision E24q-30 with a 1440p resolution and a 100Hz refresh rate.

Garmin has announced the CIRQA, a $199.99 smart band that tracks health and fitness metrics without a display. It relies entirely on the Garmin Connect smartphone app for viewing data and changing settings, aiming at people who want to track their daily stats without wearing another screen on their wrist. It goes on sale July 24th.

Garmin CIRQA Specifications

The device is small and lightweight. The case is made of fiber-reinforced polymer, measuring 27 x 47 x 9mm, and the whole unit weighs just over 20 grams with the strap attached. Garmin uses 14mm quick-release fabric bands, which are meant to be comfortable enough to wear all day and night. You can wear it on your wrist or upper arm depending on what is most comfortable for your current activity. Because there is no screen to power, the battery lasts up to 10 days between charges.

Inside, it has the standard hardware found in most current fitness trackers. There is a continuous heart rate monitor, a Pulse Ox sensor for measuring blood oxygen, and an accelerometer. The band tracks heart rate variability (HRV), breathing rate, skin temperature, and stress. It also logs sleep stages and naps. For women’s health tracking, the overnight skin temperature sensor provides past ovulation estimates. This data can sync with the FDA-cleared Natural Cycles app, though using that app requires a separate subscription.

For workouts, the CIRQA automatically detects basic movements like walking and running. You can check and edit these logs in the Garmin Connect app, and the device will use those corrections to classify activities better over time. If you want to manually track one of the 80 supported activities, you can assign a favorite workout and start it by pressing the single physical button on the side of the band.

The band does not have built-in GPS. It uses Connected GPS, which means you have to bring your paired iOS or Android phone with you to track distance and location on outdoor runs or bike rides. It does track standard Garmin metrics like VO2 Max, Training Readiness, and Recovery Time, and it includes a wheelchair mode for tracking pushes rather than steps.

Most of the core health and fitness tracking features work without a monthly fee, which sets it apart from subscription-heavy competitors like Oura or Fitbit. The data syncs to the free Garmin Connect app over Bluetooth or ANT+. However, Garmin is putting some software features, like guided breathwork, live activity metrics, and Garmin Coach training plans, behind an optional Garmin Connect+ subscription.

The CIRQA comes in two sizes (S-M and L-XL) and is available in several colors, including Black, Captain Blue, French Gray, and Mauve.

In related news, Rogbid has unveiled the Loop, a screen-free health band featuring advanced ECG tracking and up to 15 days of battery life.

Xiaomi has introduced a new dual-purpose home appliance, the Mijia Purifying Humidifier 3 Pro, which combines air filtration and humidification into a single unit. The device recently appeared on the company’s Youpin crowdfunding platform, where it will be available starting July 22nd for a price of 1,699 yuan ($250).

Mijia Purifying Humidifier 3 Pro Specifications

The device features a powerful humidification system designed to tackle air quality in larger spaces, pumping out 2,000mL of moisture an hour. According to Xiaomi’s testing, this rate is sufficient to raise the humidity of a standard bedroom in seven minutes and a larger living room in about 19 minutes. It draws from an 8-liter water tank, which can provide up to 16 hours of continuous use when the device is set to sleep mode.

To handle the maintenance issues that typically affect humidifiers, Xiaomi uses a one-way spray water circulation system. This prevents used water from flowing back into the main tank, which helps limit bacterial growth and water discoloration. The system also incorporates electrolyzed water sterilization and a washable antibacterial filter to maintain hygiene over time.

On the purification side, the unit utilizes a six-layer composite filter. It has a particulate matter CADR (Clean Air Delivery Rate) of 422m³/h and a formaldehyde CADR of 247m³/h. The filtration system includes specific layers for catching large debris, filtering PM1 and PM2.5 particles, and neutralizing formaldehyde and common allergens. The humidification and purification functions can operate independently, allowing the device to be used strictly as an air purifier when ambient humidity levels are already adequate.

The top of the unit features an LCD dome display with adaptive brightness that provides real-time readings for temperature, humidity, dust concentration, and PM1 and PM2.5 levels. It connects to the Mijia app for remote control, data tracking, and filter monitoring, and it supports voice commands via XiaoAI. You can also set specific target humidity levels for the device to maintain automatically.

Despite its size, Xiaomi has included several practical design choices for everyday use. The humidifier supports both top-fill water refilling and a fully removable tank with a carrying handle. It sits on built-in 360-degree caster wheels, making it easier to roll between rooms. Internally, a DC brushless inverter motor and optimized airflow channels keep operating noise down to a claimed 28.1dB(A) in sleep mode.

In related news, Xiaomi has recently unveiled an affordable electric shaver featuring adaptive power control, an IPX7-rated waterproof design, and USB-C charging. The company has also introduced a smart bathroom heater that integrates lighting, heating, and airflow controls into a single connected appliance.

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

Dareu AE6 V2 Legend Edition Specifications

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SanDisk CZB Flash Drive Specifications

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Xiaomi Mijia Electric Shaver Specifications

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

XElectron Techno C7 Specifications

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

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

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

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

On the software side, the Techno runs on Android 14, allowing it to function as a standalone smart display. Users can stream directly from native apps like Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, JioHotstar, ZEE5, and SonyLIV without needing to plug in an external streaming stick.

Samsung has launched the Freestyle Plus in the US market. It is a portable projector priced at $1,199.99. The 2026 model keeps the cylindrical shape of previous versions but adds a brighter lamp and automated calibration tools designed to project images onto regular walls instead of dedicated screens.

Samsung Freestyle+ 2026 Specifications

The projector relies on a DLP display and outputs a 1080p resolution image that can be scaled up to 100 inches diagonally. The brightness is rated at 430 ISO lumens. This is an increase from older models, making it easier to see in rooms with some ambient light, but it still requires a dark environment for the best picture quality. It also supports HDR10+ and Samsung’s PurColor processing.

Samsung has equipped the Freestyle+ with its new Vision AI system, designed to simplify projector setup. It combines features such as 3D Auto Keystone correction, wall color calibration, obstacle avoidance, and real-time autofocus to optimize image quality with little to no manual adjustment. The projector can automatically straighten the picture when placed at an angle, adapt to different wall colors, and reposition the image to avoid objects like picture frames or light switches. Focus is handled in real-time by a built-in ultrasonic motor.

For sound, the Freestyle Plus has a built-in 360-degree speaker with dual passive woofers. It also supports Q-Symphony, a feature that allows the projector to sync its audio with compatible Samsung soundbars or Wi-Fi speakers.

The device runs on Tizen, the same operating system used on Samsung’s smart TVs. This provides access to standard streaming apps and the Samsung Gaming Hub for cloud gaming. It supports Apple AirPlay 2 and screen mirroring from compatible Galaxy devices.

Because it is meant to be portable, the projector can run off external USB-C power banks, provided they output enough wattage, or you can buy Samsung’s proprietary battery base separately. It also includes an eye protection mode that automatically dims the lens if a person or pet walks in front of the beam.

The Freestyle+ ships with a dedicated traveling pouch and is available now through Samsung’s US website and select retailers.

In related news, Acer has recently launched a 4K laser projector featuring Google TV, 4,000 ANSI lumens of brightness, and 240Hz gaming support.

Xiaomi is adding a purple option to its Bluetooth Speaker C lineup in China. The new variant is currently available for pre-order at 299 yuan ($44). Aside from the color, it is the exact same fabric-wrapped portable speaker the company previously released in black.

Xiaomi Bluetooth Speaker C Specifications

The speaker is a relatively compact cylinder, weighing 415 grams and measuring just over 20 centimeters tall. It features a woven fabric covering and a built-in silicone strap to make it easier to carry around. It also carries an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.

Inside, the audio setup relies on a single 18W full-range driver. Because small speakers usually struggle to produce low frequencies, Xiaomi included two passive radiators, one internal and one external, to help push out more bass. The spec sheet lists a frequency response of 75Hz to 20kHz and a signal-to-noise ratio of at least 95dB.

Like many portable speakers on the market right now, the Bluetooth Speaker C includes integrated LED lighting. There are light rings on the top and bottom of the chassis that can sync to whatever music is playing. You can cycle through three basic lighting patterns, Ripple, Beat, and Constant-On, or change the colors using the physical buttons on the device.

For connectivity, the speaker uses Bluetooth 6.0. You can pair two of these units together in a standard True Wireless Stereo (TWS) setup for dedicated left and right audio channels. It also supports Auracast, a broadcasting standard that allows you to link up to 100 compatible speakers at once.

The speaker runs on a 2,600mAh battery. Xiaomi advertises up to 14 hours of playback on a single charge, but that estimate comes with a few caveats: you have to keep the volume capped at 40% and turn the LED lights completely off. There is also a built-in microphone, allowing you to use it as a speakerphone to answer calls when your phone is connected.

Globally, the Xiaomi Bluetooth Speaker C is also available in White and Green color options. These variants could make their way to the Chinese market at a later date.

Nubia has officially launched the iMoochi in China, an AI-powered pet robot designed for emotional companionship rather than standard voice assistant tasks. First teased by ZTE at MWC 2026, the device is now available starting at 1,699 yuan ($250), or 1,778 yuan ($262) bundled with a cloud-shaped charging dock.

Nubia iMoochi Specifications

Instead of functioning like a traditional smart speaker, the iMoochi is designed to act like a digital pet. The hardware features a plush, skin-friendly exterior paired with a durable silicone face mask. Its eyes are dual OLED displays that render dynamic facial expressions and utilize under-display sensors to automatically adjust brightness based on ambient lighting. Inside, the robot is equipped with stepper motors that allow it to nod, shake its head, and wag its tail in response to user interactions.

Interaction is driven by a combination of physical sensors and an emotion-understanding AI model. The iMoochi has five touch sensors located on its head, back, nose, and feet, along with a six-axis inertial sensor that detects when the device is being lifted, shaken, or carried. Multiple microphones enable directional sound detection, allowing the robot to physically react to where a voice is coming from.

On the software side, the AI model is designed to analyze both the semantic meaning and emotional context of conversations. It uses voiceprint recognition to identify its primary owner, building a familiarity score and interaction history over time. To avoid the uncanny valley effect often associated with human-like AI voices, Nubia opted for a custom iMoochi language developed with professional voice actors. The audio profile consists mostly of pet-like vocalizations, purrs, and giggles. The software is also programmed to simulate a daily rhythm, prompting the robot to yawn, react to temperature changes, or initiate play sessions autonomously.

For connectivity, the iMoochi includes built-in Wi-Fi and 4G network support, with a period of 4G data service included with the purchase so it can operate outside of local wireless networks. It also features NFC for tap-to-connect interactions with other iMoochi units. The internal battery is rated for 8 to 10 hours of use per charge.

The device pairs with the iMoochi Life mobile app, which lets users track companionship duration, monitor the robot’s emotional status, and save interaction records. The pet comes in three colors: Brown, Pink, and White. The standard box includes a charging cable, protective cover, comb, eye mask, and a birth certificate card. Nubia is also selling optional interactive outfits that unlock specific visual effects and expressions on the OLED displays.

In related news, Lenovo has recently introduced an AI-powered gadget for kids featuring a flip camera, GPS tracking, and an SOS button.

Xiaomi has released the Smart Solar Camera 4 Pro 4G Dual-Camera Edition in China, following the start of its crowdfunding campaign last month. It is priced at 649 yuan ($96) and is built for outdoor surveillance in areas without access to Wi-Fi or electrical outlets, like construction sites or orchards.

Xiaomi Smart Solar Camera 4 Pro 4G Specs

The camera operates using a 9,900mAh battery and a 7.6W solar panel, which Xiaomi says provides continuous power without the need for manual charging. Instead of Wi-Fi, it relies on a built-in dual 4G SIM system. The device switches between networks automatically to maintain a connection and includes free data for remote monitoring through the Mi Home app.

For video, the device uses a dual-camera setup. Both cameras have 5MP sensors that record in 3K resolution with f/1.6 lenses. One is a fixed wide-angle lens for general monitoring, and the other is a pan-tilt-zoom camera with 355 degrees of horizontal and 95 degrees of vertical movement. They work together using AI tracking, allowing one lens to watch a broad area while the other follows a moving subject.

For nighttime surveillance, the cameras use a combination of white and infrared LEDs. The system defaults to standard infrared night vision, but if it detects a person in the dark, it turns on the white LEDs to capture the footage in color.

To manage local microSD storage (up to 256GB), the camera uses an Always-On Video system. It records a time-lapse at one frame every two seconds when the area is quiet, which cuts storage use by about 90%. Normal recording resumes as soon as the camera detects a person or vehicle.

The hardware is IP66-rated for dust and water resistance to handle outdoor weather. It includes two-way audio with noise reduction, integrates with Xiaomi’s HyperOS Connect smart home platform, and can trigger a built-in siren and flashing lights if it detects unusual activity, sending a push notification to the user’s phone at the same time.

In related news, Xiaomi has recently introduced a smart bathroom heater with automated lighting, heating, and airflow controls. The company also launched a new smart water flosser featuring a color display, app connectivity, and up to 105 days of battery life.
