Gadgets cover wide and varied areas including accessories, imaging, audio and visual and the likes.
Audio-Technica has two answers for anyone tired of charging headphones. The ATH-M20xSTS gives streamers studio-inspired monitoring and a boom microphone that mutes when raised, while the pocket-sized ATH-CKD30C plugs straight into USB-C devices with selectable sound modes and no Bluetooth ceremony.
Sony’s latest headphone refresh starts sensibly: the WH-CH730N offers up to 50 hours of listening with ANC, while the colorful WH-CH530 stretches to 55 hours. Then Hello Kitty walks in, bringing limited-edition bundles, exclusive accessories, and considerably more personality to Sony’s practical new everyday cans.
Six years after the WH-1000XM4 became a noise-cancelling favorite, Sony is giving it another lap. The new WH-1000XM4C preserves the foldable design and famously effective ANC, retunes the sound for modern tastes, adds a 10-band equalizer, and introduces Lavender for anyone tired of serious-looking headphones.
Apple’s open-ear AirPods no longer make you pay extra for noise cancellation. Both AirPods 5 models now get ANC, improved sound, and tougher IP57 protection, while Siri responds to head gestures and Live Translation handles conversations across languages. Volume swipes, wireless charging, and longer battery life remain paid extras.
Apple’s latest watches may know how ready you are before you do. The Ultra 4 and Series 12 combine activity, training load, vitals, and sleep into a daily readiness score, then add longer workout tracking, faster charging, Siri AI, and a coming Live Rewind feature that displays recent conversation as text.
Apple’s first foldable may have stolen the keynote, but the iPhone 18 Pro models brought a hardware trick photographers have waited years to see: a genuinely variable camera aperture. Add the A20 Pro chip, redesigned cooling, longer battery life, and new photo-authenticity tools, and the annual upgrade suddenly looks far less routine.
Apple has entered the foldable-phone race with the iPhone Duo, pairing a pocketable 5.4-inch cover screen with a 7.6-inch inner display, A20 Pro power, and iOS 27 multitasking. The hardware sounds formidable, but Apple’s careful wording about the crease—and silence on fold endurance—leaves two important questions unanswered.
Motorola has a new gadget for your pocket, another for your wrist, and one for the nightstand. Its IFA 2026 haul includes a 200-megapixel Edge 70 Plus, an LTE-equipped Moto Watch Ultra with Polar fitness tracking, and a magnetic Moto Snap charger capable of delivering up to 30W.
Motorola has returned to the Swarovski drawer, dressing its 2026 Razr in a dark Pantone Meteorite finish, 35 hand-positioned crystals, and a larger 32-facet crystal on the hinge. Beneath all that sparkle is a proper foldable smartphone with dual 50MP cameras, two displays, and over 36 hours of claimed battery life.
Battery anxiety usually ends with a charger in your pocket. Motorola has another solution: put a 7,100mAh battery inside the phone. The Edge 70 Max pairs that serious endurance with flagship Snapdragon power, a 144Hz Quad HD+ display, and Qi2 magnetic charging, without turning the handset into a pocket-size brick.
TECNO has spent plenty of time making phones thinner. Its next hardware trick goes in another direction: all the way backward. The MEGABOOK T15 360 Series switches among laptop, tablet, tent, and stand modes, with optional pen input, up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor, and a sharper 120Hz display on the Pro.
