Huawei has announced its next pair of flagship earbuds, and while they’re not on shelves just yet, the early details already paint a pretty big upgrade. The FreeBuds Pro 5 is now official, arriving right on the heels of the Mate 70 Air launch.

The headline feature is pretty simple: NearLink Audio. This is the first time we’re seeing it in a pair of wireless earbuds, and Huawei is calling it the start of a “new era of lossless audio.” On paper, it definitely sounds ambitious - upwards of 2.3 Mbps lossless transmission.

Rockstar Games has announced that Grand Theft Auto VI will now release on Thursday, November 19, 2026.

In a post on X, the company wrote, “Grand Theft Auto VI will now release on Thursday, November 19, 2026. We are sorry for adding additional time to what we realize has been a long wait, but these extra months will allow us to finish the game with the level of polish you have come to expect and deserve.”

Maharashtra has signed a Letter of Intent with Starlink Satellite Communications Pvt. Ltd to bring satellite internet to remote and underserved areas.

This is the first agreement of its kind in India.

The move is part of the Digital Maharashtra mission to expand broadband access across the state.

Black Shark has launched the Fengming S1 over-ear wireless headphones in China, priced at 379 yuan ($53) and available on JD.com. The design bears a strong resemblance to Apple’s AirPods Max but is tuned for gaming and extended comfort during long sessions.

The Fengming S1 features custom 40mm dual-diaphragm drivers made of TPU composite and titanium-coated materials. Black Shark claims the drivers deliver strong bass, smooth mids, and crisp high-frequency response.

Nubia has launched the Z80 Ultra globally as part of an early bird campaign, following its debut in China last month. The global version is now available for purchase with limited-time launch offers valid until December 2.

All pre-orders placed before November 18 will include a complimentary original charger and a premium protective case. Customers can also use the code Z80USAVE30 to get a £20/€20/$30 discount on any variant until December 2.
