ZTE has added a new 5G cellular router to its hardware lineup. Following the recent release of the G5 Pro, the company has now listed the G5 Max WiFi 5G CPE on JD.com. The new model integrates Qualcomm’s latest modem technology with an outdoor-ready enclosure. It carries a standard retail price of 2,499 yuan ($369), with an introductory price of 2,419 yuan ($357).

ZTE G5 Max Specifications

The main difference between the G5 Max and a standard home internet gateway is its physical build. The router is designed for both indoor and outdoor installation. It features an IP65-rated weather-resistant enclosure that protects against dust and water, and it is rated to operate in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +55°C. Measuring 225 x 142 x 48 mm and weighing about 800 grams, the unit includes mounting hardware for walls and light poles, alongside a standard desktop stand.

To make outdoor installation practical, ZTE included a 2.5GbE network port on the bottom of the device that supports Power over Ethernet (PoE). This allows users to run a single Ethernet cable to the router to supply both data and power, eliminating the need for a dedicated outdoor electrical outlet.

Inside, the G5 Max runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X75 5G platform. It supports a wide range of global 5G and 4G LTE frequency bands, including the high-capacity n79 5G band. To maintain a cellular connection in areas with weak coverage, the router uses a 13dBi high-gain antenna system and supports 4×4 MIMO technology. For cellular access, it includes a standard 4FF SIM card slot as well as an embedded SIM option.

For local networking, the router supports the new Wi-Fi 7 standard (IEEE 802.11be) and is backward compatible with older Wi-Fi protocols. It provides wireless speeds up to 3600Mbps and can handle up to 64 connected devices at the same time.

Software management is handled through the ZTE Smart Life app, which allows users to monitor the network locally or remotely. The system includes standard router features like bandwidth allocation, parental controls, and VPN support for L2TP and PPTP protocols.

In related news, Lenovo has recently unveiled the Legion LM50S portable Wi-Fi hotspot with Wi-Fi 6, 4G LTE connectivity, and up to 12 hours of battery life.

AOC is adding a new portable monitor to its lineup, but instead of a standard LCD or OLED panel, the company is opting for electronic paper. The AOC 13T5S is a 13.3-inch color E Ink monitor that has recently launched in China for 4,599 yuan ($679).

AOC 13T5S Specifications

The display relies on E Ink’s Kaleido 3 technology. It has a native resolution of 3200 x 2400, but because of how color e-paper functions, the pixel density changes depending on what you are looking at. Black-and-white text renders at a sharp 300 pixels per inch (PPI), while color elements drop to 150 PPI.

AOC is using an Oxide (IGZO) TFT backplane that allows for a 30Hz refresh rate. While 30Hz would be unusable for gaming or watching video on a standard monitor, it is actually quite fast for an E Ink panel, making basic scrolling and cursor movements much smoother than older e-paper screens.

To make the screen look and feel more like actual paper, the fully laminated panel is covered by 0.4mm AG anti-glare glass with a matte texture. AOC also included E Ink’s ComfortGaze front lighting system, which lets users adjust the brightness and color temperature from warm to cool depending on their ambient lighting.

To handle the ghosting issues that typically plague E Ink displays, the 13T5S uses a Dual T2000 TCON controller and an AI-assisted ghosting reduction system. This setup detects residual images left behind by previous pages and performs localized screen refreshes to clear them out without forcing the entire display to flash black and white.

Physically, the monitor has an anodized aluminum alloy chassis measuring 8mm thick and weighing about 700 grams. Connectivity is straightforward: it has two full-function USB-C ports that handle power, video, and data over a single cable. It is plug-and-play for Windows PCs, though AOC says that macOS compatibility will require a future OTG software update.

The 13T5S ships with a folding cover that works as a stand, allowing for landscape and portrait orientations at 10-degree, 20-degree, and 70-degree angles.

In related news, Lenovo has recently unveiled the ThinkVision E24q-30 monitor with a 1440p display and 100Hz refresh rate.

Xiaomi has officially announced the Redmi Note 17 in China, a new budget smartphone that combines a massive display with an equally large battery.

Redmi Note 17 Specifications

The 7-inch flat OLED panel is the largest Xiaomi has ever integrated into a Redmi device, effectively blurring the line between a smartphone and a small tablet. It features a 2396 x 1080 resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a peak brightness of 1,800 nits for outdoor visibility. Xiaomi has also included an in-display fingerprint scanner, Wet Touch 2.0 for use with damp hands, and a dedicated glove mode.

To power a screen of that size, Xiaomi equipped the Redmi Note 17 with a huge 8,000mAh battery. The company says it can deliver up to 2.33 days of battery life under typical usage. It supports 45W wired fast charging and 22.5W wired reverse charging, allowing the phone to function as a high-speed power bank for other hardware.

Internal specifications align with the phone’s budget pricing. It is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 4 Gen 4 processor, a 4nm chip designed for entry-level efficiency rather than high-end performance, paired with up to 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage. The camera system is straightforward, featuring a 50-megapixel primary rear sensor and an 8-megapixel front-facing camera.

On the software side, the Redmi Note 17 runs Xiaomi’s HyperOS 3 and includes a heavy emphasis on AI-driven security. The operating system features an integrated anti-fraud system trained on a large language model to identify and block script-based scam calls. It also includes a tool to detect AI face-swaps during video calls, issuing real-time warnings to users.

The device also includes an IP65 water resistance rating, an infrared blaster, multifunction NFC for transit and payments, and support for microSD card expansion up to 2TB.

Pricing and Availability

The Redmi Note 17 is available in Black, Shallow Aqua, and Meteor Purple. The base model with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage is priced at 1,299 yuan ($192), while the 8GB + 128GB variant costs 1,399 yuan ($206). The top-end model with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage is priced at 1,599 yuan ($236).

The phone is now up for sale in China.

Casio has released two new Color Camo watches in the US. Priced at $210, the new GAV01CMG-4A (pink) and GAV01CMG-6A (purple) models join the green variant that the company introduced last month.

The release focuses heavily on current Y2K fashion trends, applying bright, multi-angle printed camouflage patterns to the familiar, oversized G-Shock silhouette.

Design Details

From a design perspective, the new GAV01 models utilize a multi-angle printing (MAP) technique across the resin bezel and band. The camouflage pattern itself incorporates a subtle branding detail, with Casio’s G logo hidden within the organic shapes of the camo.

The watches maintain a large footprint, measuring 49.1 x 58.2 x 19.6 mm and weighing 74 grams. Underneath the patterned resin exterior, the watches feature the standard durability metrics associated with the brand. Both models are shock-resistant and offer 200-meter water resistance.

The display is protected by spherical mineral glass and utilizes a hybrid analog-digital layout. To make the digital readouts easier to see, Casio has included a hand shift feature that temporarily moves the analog hands out of the way of the digital display.

Internally, both watches run on a CR2025 battery, which Casio estimates will last approximately 10 years. For low-light visibility, the watches are equipped with a double LED Super Illuminator that lights up both the analog face and the digital display with a white LED.

The GAV01CMG-4A and GAV01CMG-6A are available for purchase now in the US.

The post Casio launches two new Color Camo watches with Y2K-inspired design in the US appeared first on Gizmochina.

Casio is rounding out its Bold Camo G-Shock lineup in the US this week with two new models. After bringing the first four watches of the Japan-originated collection stateside last month, the company has just released the final two pieces: the GA-700CF-1A and the DW-6900CF-1.

Design Details

Both models feature standard matte black resin bands and bezels, which are paired with camouflage-patterned dials. The visual update comes from the gold-colored vapor deposition applied to the watch faces. It is a specific streetwear-oriented look, offering a bit more contrast than standard tactical G-Shocks without changing the underlying hardware.

The GA-700CF-1A is the larger of the two, priced at $145. It is an analog-digital hybrid built around the chunky GA-700 case, measuring 57.5 x 53.4 x 18.5 mm and weighing 75 grams. On this model, the gold accents are applied to the physical hands and the raised hour markers.

It includes a practical hand-shift feature that moves the analog hands out of the way so you can clearly read the digital displays underneath. Other standard features include world time across 31 zones, a 1/100-second stopwatch, a 60-minute countdown timer, and five daily alarms.

If you prefer a purely digital display, the $120 DW-6900CF-1 applies the same black, camo, and gold colorway to the classic 6900 case. It is slightly smaller at 53.2 x 50 x 18.7 mm and weighs 67 grams.

The gold detailing here frames the digital readouts on the dial. It comes with standard digital G-Shock features, including a 24-hour countdown timer, a multi-function alarm, and a flash alert system that triggers the LED backlight to blink in sync with your alarms and hourly timers.

As expected from the G-Shock line, both watches share the exact same baseline durability specs. They feature mineral glass, shock-resistant resin construction, and 200 meters of water resistance. Both run on a standard CR2016 battery, which Casio says should last about five years before needing a replacement.

Both the GA-700CF-1A and DW-6900CF-1 are available to purchase now.

In related news, Casio has recently launched the Baby-G BG169CMB-8 in the US with a Y2K-inspired camouflage design, alongside five new Edifice EFK-200 automatic watches.

Casio has expanded its Baby-G watch lineup in the United States with the release of the BG169CMB-8. Priced at $155, the new model is a gray camouflage digital watch that joins the pink and blue-green variants the company released last month.

Design Details

The watch is built on the existing BG-169 chassis, which is characterized by a compact, round resin case and external metal face protectors. The primary update for the BG169CMB-8 is the exterior styling. Both the bezel and the resin band feature an all-over gray camouflage print. Casio has also integrated its standard G-mark logo directly into the camouflage pattern.

While the previously released pink and blue-green models utilize translucent dials, the gray BG169CMB-8 has a distinct hardware finish. It includes an ion-plated bezel ring for a metallic texture and uses a negative LCD for the digital display. This gives the gray model a uniform, monochromatic appearance compared to the other colors in the series.

In terms of physical dimensions, the watch case measures 45.9 x 42.6 x 16.4 mm, and the entire unit weighs 43 grams. It is designed to fit wrist sizes ranging from 135 to 200 mm.

The watch maintains the standard durability ratings of the Baby-G series, offering shock resistance and 200-meter (20 bar) water resistance, making it suitable for swimming. The screen is protected by mineral glass, and the device is powered by a standard CR1616 battery, which Casio says will last for approximately three years.

The BG169CMB-8 includes standard digital watch functionalities. It supports world time across 29 time zones (30 cities) with daylight saving toggles. It also features a stopwatch, a countdown timer, an hourly time signal, and five separate alarms. For low-light visibility, it uses a white LED backlight with an afterglow function.

Additionally, the watch includes two legacy digital features. The Telememo function provides on-device storage for up to 25 contacts, allowing users to save an eight-character name and a 12-digit phone number per entry. There is also a Day Counter feature that calculates and displays the remaining days until a specific target date, with memory for up to five separate dates ranging up to the year 2049.

The Casio Baby-G BG169CMB-8 is available for purchase now in the US.

In related news, Casio has recently introduced five Edifice EFK-200 automatic watches in the US and unveiled a new lineup of affordable digital watches with a futuristic retro-inspired design.

Xiaomi has released a new water flosser under its Mijia brand that adds a screen and smartphone connectivity to a standard bathroom tool. The Mijia Smart Water Flosser Pro is currently listed on the company’s Youpin platform in China for 399 yuan, which converts to roughly $58. It is available in Gold, Twilight Gray, and Light Purple colors.

Xiaomi Mijia Smart Water Flosser Pro Specifications

The device uses a rotating nozzle that outputs two streams of water simultaneously. It combines a standard, direct water jet in the center with a wider, umbrella-shaped spray on the outside.

Xiaomi claims this dual-stream approach covers a larger area than a standard nozzle and removes up to 99.99% of plaque. The tip of the nozzle also has a small silicone guide to help users physically align the water stream with the gaps between their teeth.

Along with the standard nozzle, the flosser includes two other attachments. One is a microbubble nozzle that mixes air into the water to make it gentler on sensitive gums, and the other is an orthodontic nozzle with bristles to help clean around braces and retainers.

On the tech side, the handle features a small color display. It shows basic information like the current cleaning mode, battery life, and a timer while in use. The device has four default settings programmed in: Gentle, Standard, Strong, and Custom.

Connecting the flosser to the Mijia smartphone app opens up more settings. You can choose from 10 different water pressure levels, three pulse speeds, and three flow patterns, including continuous, intermittent, and wave. The app also tracks how often the device is used, logs the duration of each session, and can send notifications to remind users to floss.

The physical design includes a modular water tank system. The main handle holds 80mL of water, keeping the device relatively compact for travel. For home use, a larger 220mL tank attaches to the bottom to hold more water. To save space in a bag, the nozzle can be removed and stored inside the main body.

The flosser charges via a standard USB-C port, and the full charge takes about four hours. Xiaomi estimates the battery can last up to 105 days on a single charge.

Additionally, the device includes an IPX8 waterproof rating, a travel lock to prevent accidental activation, a two-minute automatic shutoff timer, and a pressure stabilization system designed to keep the water flow consistent even when the battery is running low.

In related news, Xiaomi has recently introduced the Mijia Handheld Fan in a new green color option, alongside a new 5L smart kettle featuring app connectivity, 1°C temperature adjustment, and water circulation technology.
