The Redmi Note 14 Pro New Year Edition is designed to deliver powerful performance, exceptional camera capabilities, and a stunning display. Packed with advanced features and built for durability, this device is an excellent choice for tech enthusiasts and casual users alike.

You can now get this limited-time edition for a starting price of $239 at Geekwills.

LG Electronics has strengthened its position in the lifestyle projector market with the launch of two cutting-edge models at CES 2025. These projectors, the PF600U and the CineBeam S (PU615U) are designed to optimize space efficiency while delivering premium entertainment and ambiance solutions for modern consumers.

Looks like the dominance of Chinese smartphone manufacturers in adopting silicon-carbon (Si-C) batteries may have put global giants like Samsung and Apple under increasing pressure to innovate.

As you might know, Chinese brands are already equipping their devices with batteries exceeding 6,000mAh. Samsung and Apple, on the other hand, remain capped at a 5,000mAh limit, even for their flagship models like the Galaxy S24 Ultra.

Casio’s G-Shock GM-5600, a popular digital watch known for its rugged durability and iconic square design, is getting a new look through a collaboration with Los Angeles fashion label C2H4.

The “Space Age” edition, launching January 9, combines retro design elements from the 1960s with modern features. The watch features a silver stainless steel bezel paired with a translucent gray resin band accented by bold red markings, reflecting the color palette of the Space Age era.
