HONOR Robot Phone: 4DoF Titanium Agile Gimbal, Dual 200MP cameras, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 CPU

At long last, the HONOR Robot Phone has graduated from prototype status and is now officially a market-ready smartphone. The highlight of the HONOR Robot Phone , if you haven’t heard already, is its 4DoF Titanium Agile Gimbal, a first on any smartphone. That’s a DJI Osmo Pocket-like gimbal attached at the back of a high-end smartphone. HONOR achieved this by using over 60 manufacturing processes using 100 precision components. HONOR also passed over 100 patents for this and is considered the smallest 4D gimbal system in the world. While it uses a very light 2.6g titanium gimbal motor, the device is still relatively heavy at 248g. That gimbal holds a sharp 200-megapixel 1/1.28-inch sensor with a bright f/1.6 aperture. AI subject tracking and real-time auto-framing for vloggers are also here. More than photography, the gimbal can be used for other tasks when paired with HONOR’s Yoyo AI assistant. It’s a cool party trick, too, as it c...

OPPO Find X9 Ultra gains DXOMARK recognition with its excellent cameras

Independent camera reviewers DXOMARK have given high marks to OPPO ’s latest flagship device, the Find X9 Ultra . The score puts the phone among the top performers in mobile photography.

Palworld Online mobile for Android, iOS to launch this 2026

Palworld is making its way to smartphones. Garena and developer Pocketpair are teaming up to release a new version of the game called Palworld Online, set to arrive in 2026. This isn’t just a straight copy of the PC game. Instead, the mobile edition of Palworld Online is being built as a massive online world where players can explore and build alongside others. The original game was mostly a solo or small-group experience. This time, the world stays active and shared, even when you log off. You can still do the usual things: catch Pals, raise them, fight with them, and explore a large open world. But the game now includes new storylines and side quests that are exclusive to the mobile version. The idea is to make every Pal you catch feel meaningful, not just another number in your collection. 5 classic mobile MMORPGs you can still play today What really sets this apart is the social side. Players can run into each other naturally as they move around the wor...

Xiaomi Redmi Projector 5 with built-in gimbal and 120-inch screen now official

Xiaomi has quietly rolled out a new home projector that won’t break the bank. The Redmi Projector 5 , announced in China on August 3, 2026, comes with a few tricks that set it apart from other budget models. The most noticeable feature is its metal gimbal stand. Unlike most projectors that sit flat on a table, this one can tilt a full 360 degrees. That means you can point it at a blank wall or even straight up at the ceiling. It is a simple addition, but it gives you more freedom to pick where you want to watch. The picture quality is solid for the price. It outputs a native 1080p resolution and can stretch an image up to 120 inches across. Brightness is rated at 400 CVIA lumens, which is decent for darker rooms, but probably not enough for daytime viewing. It also has a low blue light certification, so your eyes might feel less tired after a long movie. Setting it up is pretty straightforward. The projector uses a laser sensor to handle focus and keystone correction a...

DJI Mic Mini 2: The Budget Wireless Microphone for Content Creators?

Audio quality can make or break a video. You can shoot in stunning 4K resolution, but a muffled sound can make your viewers skip your content. That’s why wireless microphones have become an essential tool for vloggers, videographers or content creators.  DJI has earned a strong reputation in this category, and the DJI Mic Mini 2 continues that tradition by delivering professional-quality audio in a compact, affordable package. Another biggest innovation? The DJI Mic Mini 2 comes in cute different colors. At first glance, the DJI Mic Mini 2 doesn’t look dramatically different from its predecessor. The transmitter remains is small weighing only around 11 grams (without the magnet clip and magnet). The compact design makes it comfortable to wear for long recording sessions. DJI has also added interchangeable magnetic front covers, allowing users to personalize the appearance of the microphone without affecting performance. While this is mostly a cosmetic improvemen...
