A fully-fledged Windows computer, barely larger than a matchbox—at least if you don’t take the comparison down to the exact millimeter. The NiPoGi Hyper H1 measures just 12.9 by 12.9 by 5.1 cm and weighs only about 505 g. Inside the small black box are an AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS, 16 gigabytes of DDR5 RAM, and a 512-gigabyte NVMe SSD. This tiny machine isn’t just meant for office work and web browsing. Image editing and casual gaming are also on the list.

Insta360 is working on a mirrorless camera that is said to look unlike anything else on the market. CEO Jingkang “JK” Liu revealed this in recent interviews with the Japanese magazine Mynavi News.

So far, amaran has been best known for its LED video lights, which Aputure fans use to light their sets. Now, the brand is entering the audio market for the first time: The amaran Mic is a wireless desktop microphone for streamers, podcasters, and anyone who wants clean sound without an audio interface or driver installation. The starter kit costs $99 and is available now; a boom arm accessory will follow in the fourth quarter of 2026.

Xiaomi has unveiled two new mini projectors: the Redmi Projector 5 and the Redmi Projector 5 Pro. Their most striking feature is a clever gimbal stand: on the Pro model, it can tilt up to 150 degrees, while on the base model, it can even rotate a full 360 degrees. This makes wall or ceiling projections possible without the need for an additional tripod. Both devices are currently sold exclusively in China, where they cost the equivalent of approximately 130 and 240 euros, respectively.

Following Nvidia, AMD also appears to be raising its graphics card prices: A leaked table showing AMD’s suggested online retail prices (SEP) indicates price increases of 5.6 to 20 percent for six Radeon models in the RX 9000 series for the third quarter of 2026—initially, apparently, only for the Chinese market.

Nvidia has officially released the GeForce Now native Linux app from beta. After several months of gathering community feedback, the cloud gaming app is now available for Ubuntu 24.04 and later versions. At the same time, Nvidia has improved performance—both in terms of frame generation latency and in CPU-intensive games.

The two-part launch of the iPhone 18 series is now considered virtually confirmed: Contract manufacturer Pegatron stated in its quarterly earnings report that the base model of the iPhone 18 will not be released in September as usual, but will not be available until early 2027. For the first time, the company cites specific supply chain issues as the reason, rather than mere software or hardware cost-cutting measures.

The release of the Steam Deck is drawing closer: The studio behind *Gunman Contracts* has confirmed in an FAQ on its Discord server that it plans to release its game alongside Valve’s new VR headset. The launch is “imminent,” but Valve still hasn’t provided a specific date. However, the evidence is mounting: FCC approval, devices already shipped in the U.S., and a growing game category on the Steam Store all clearly point to a launch in the coming weeks.

Contrary to recent speculation, the Tensor G6 in the new Google Pixel 11 is not manufactured using a 2-nm process, but rather uses an improved 3-nm process from TSMC. Peng Yu-chun, Vice President of Hardware at Google, confirmed this to the Taiwanese news agency CNA. At the launch event, Google had left the exact manufacturing process unspecified, which is why the 2-nm rumors of the past few months persisted.
