DJI Osmo Pocket 4P: Dual Cameras, 2-inch touchscreen, 4K@60fps video

The beef between DJI and Insta360 heats up with the release of the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P. Both Chinese companies are currently suing each other for allegedly infringing patents. Now, we’re curious to see if the new DJI Osmo Pocket 4P will be used in court. As you can see, the new Osmo Pocket 4P has dual cameras. It’s a first in the series and an obvious competition to the new Insta360 Luna Ultra . This compact gimbal camera boasts a 1-inch main sensor with LOFIC, f/2.0 aperture, and a fairly wide 20mm lens equivalent. That’s similar to the one found on the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 . In fact, almost the entire hardware is based on that camera. It still has a 2-inch rotating touchscreen that can reach 1000 nits, a big 1,545mAh battery with fast charging, and a built-in storage of 103GB with a slot for up to a 1TB microSD card. What’s new here is the secondary camera. It’s a telephoto lens with a 60mm equivalent, great for portraits or sh...

DJI sues Insta360 for allegedly infringing on Osmo Pocket patents

DJI has filed lawsuits against Insta360 , alleging that Insta360 copied key parts of its popular Osmo Pocket camera. The Osmo Pocket maker is targeting Insta360’s new Luna line of cameras, which includes the Luna Pro and the Luna Ultra. In the first case, DJI says Insta360 copied the look and shape of its product. DJI holds two design patents. One covers the long body of the camera, the neck that connects to the gimbal, and the camera setup. The second design patent protects the screen on top, the buttons, the side slot for accessories, and the charging port at the bottom. DJI Osmo Pocket 4 DJI argues that Insta360 showed off its Luna cameras at the 2026 NAB Show and even marketed them as direct alternatives to the Osmo Pocket line. According to DJI, that is proof the company knew exactly what it was doing. The second lawsuit goes deeper into how the cameras work. DJI says Insta360 broke four of its utility patents. These cover specific technologies, including: ...

Razer Seiren V3 Pro is a new dynamic microphone with USB-C and XLR support

Razer just dropped a new microphone called the Seiren V3 Pro . It’s the first microphone from the company that supports both USB and XLR connections. XLR is the connector type you see on professional mics used in radio stations and music studios. But those mics need extra gear, like a mixer or an audio interface, to talk to your computer. USB mics are much easier. You just plug them in, and they work. With the Razer Seiren V3 Pro , Razer wants to serve both crowds. A beginner can start with the USB cable and get good sound right away. Later, if they want to get serious, they can buy the professional gear and switch over to the XLR port. The mic also has two USB-C ports, so you have options. The company also packed some smart features inside the mic to help new users. One of the biggest problems for first-time streamers is that a good mic does not always sound good out of the box. You often need to adjust equalization and deal with background noise. Razer says its ...

HONOR’s new ‘Virtual Permissions’ feature hides user data against untrusted apps

If you’ve ever felt forced to hand over your call logs or messages just to use a simple fitness app, HONOR says it has a fix. The company is rolling out a new feature called Virtual Permissions , and it does exactly what the name suggests. Instead of giving a suspicious app real access to your personal information, Virtual Permissions lets you grant a blank version instead. That means the app gets empty call logs, fake message histories, or pretend camera access. You can still use the app normally, but your actual private data stays safe. HONOR says the feature works on a low system level, so it should work with almost any app. The system basically tricks the app into thinking it has the permissions it asked for, while feeding it nothing but empty data. The update comes with MagicOS version 10.0.0.160. HONOR started distributing this update to eligible phones this month. The company first announced the feature on Weibo for users of the Chinese version of MagicOS. But te...

iOS 27’s CarPlay update adds video support, smarter voice control with Siri AI

Apple just released the beta version of iOS 27, and it comes with a handful of changes for people who use CarPlay. The update focuses on making the voice assistant more useful and giving drivers more options for entertainment when parked. The biggest change is how the voice assistant works. It now has a new look on the car screen. Instead of taking over the whole display, it shows up as a soft glowing circle near the bottom of the screen. The colors are more muted compared to older versions. But the real upgrade is under the hood. The assistant can now answer questions more like ChatGPT or Google Gemini. It understands follow up questions much better too. For example, you can ask about a restaurant, then ask what time it closes, and it will know what you mean. In early tests, this works much smoother than before.
