Xiaomi has been known for building some surprisingly cheap gadgets that still feel a little more premium than they should. But that philosophy apparently does not extend to electric cars. According to ITHome, Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun said during a livestream for the company’s SU7 endurance challenge on April 17 that Xiaomi will not make vehicles priced below 100,000 Yuan. That works out to be just under $15,000. Lei explained that if consumers expect an electric car to deliver strong intelligent features, software, and overall capability, the cost is harder to squeeze down that far. Why Xiaomi is ruling out…

Mercedes-Benz is using the cabin to make its first electric C-Class feel like a bigger step than a normal model update. Ahead of the car’s April 20 world premiere, it has shown an interior centered on a sweeping digital display, extra space, and a more upscale finish that leans hard into comfort and theater. The key visual is the new MBUX Hyperscreen, with Mercedes also offering a Superscreen setup. Both are designed to stretch the digital interface across the front of the car and blend the center console into the instrument panel, giving the dashboard a cleaner and more dramatic…

DJI has unveiled the Osmo Pocket 4 with a familiar goal, better video from a camera small enough to carry anywhere. The standout upgrade is a 1-inch CMOS sensor, which should help it hold onto more detail in dim scenes while also giving fast-moving footage a cleaner look. DJI also says the Osmo Pocket 4 can shoot 4K video at up to 240fps, while adding 14 stops of dynamic range and 10-bit D-Log support. That gives solo shooters a stronger mix of slow motion, highlight control, and grading headroom without moving up to a much larger setup. The result is…

If you own a power bank, you need to check if it’s a faulty model. Casely has issued a recall for about 429,200 units of the Casely Power Pods through the US Consumer Product Safety Commission.

This isn’t the first time Casely has recalled these power banks. The original recall was issued in April 2025, after 51 consumer reports of the battery overheating, expanding, or catching fire. Six people sustained minor burns at that time. Since then,…

You’re browsing for a new laptop — one has a better processor, another has more RAM, a third says “AI-powered” in bold letters, and you’re not entirely sure what that means. But Amazon has noticed you pausing on that third one, and it has thoughts. The company just launched an AI Store on Amazon.in — a dedicated storefront that rounds up AI-enabled gadgets across categories, from smartphones and laptops to refrigerators and washing machines. So, instead of you wading through spec sheets trying to figure out which “AI feature” actually does something useful, the store spells it out for you.…

The Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 is down to $699.98 in a limited-time deal, a $898 saving off its $1,598 list price, and this isn’t just the power station on its own. The 200W bifacial solar panel is included in the bundle, which makes this a complete off-grid power setup for a price that most comparable systems charge for the station alone. What you’re getting The SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 is built around a 1,024Wh LiFePO4 battery, which brings the same durability and longevity advantages as the LFP chemistry found in more expensive units. LFP handles more charge cycles before…

Google’s smart glasses ambitions might be getting a luxury makeover. Kering CEO Luca de Meo told Reuters that the Gucci owner plans to launch AI-powered smart glasses under the Gucci brand in partnership with Google in 2027. If this is true, Gucci would become the first major luxury label to jump directly into the new wave of AI eyewear. And this wearable might not be that far away, as the reports hint at the Gucci smart glasses dropping sometime next year. Why is Google teaming up with Gucci? The big reason might be pretty simple: smart glasses still need to…

According to 9to5Google, the teardown reveals that Google is working on a new hardware feature called Pixel Glow. The feature, which first showed up in…

Microsoft’s next generation of Surface Laptops could finally be getting a solid display upgrade. New reports reveal that OLED options may soon become a possibility. In a vacuum, it sounds like something that the Surface lineup needs, but I’m already wincing at what that might do to the price. What’s coming on the new Surface Laptops? According to a Windows Central report, the company is preparing a refresh for its Surface Laptop and Surface Pro models later this year. These are expected to bring new chips, upgraded displays, and a two-stage rollout for Intel and Snapdragon variants this summer. While…
