A new power bank, which is currently discounted, is designed to avoid thermal runaway even under extreme stress, making it significantly safer than probably most other power banks. The SolidForge is available in several versions with different capacities.

With its display and a very specific feature, Elecrow is essentially offering a smart development board that can also be used as a miner. However, mining on the ESP32 Solo Miner is more of a lottery, so to speak.

A new display also comes with wireless networking and is compatible with Meshtastic. That should make the system well suited for building a compact control panel for a smart home, for example. The CrowPanel Advance 3.5 is also relatively affordable.

Edifier is offering new headphones that are said to deliver high playback quality, long battery life, and a fast connection. The WH950NB also support lossless or very low-loss audio transmission.

Asus has introduced a new, high-performance router. It supports the latest WiFi 7 standard, though it is worth taking a very close look at the spec sheet in this regard. It comes with five separate antennas, which should help improve transmission quality.

A particularly powerful desktop system is now available with a pre-order discount. It is intended not only for accelerating AI models but also for gaming and productivity applications. It also includes significantly faster networking.

A new developer board offers numerous connectors and supports not only power delivery via a battery but also wireless connectivity on two different frequency bands. The SparkFun Thing Plus board supports Bluetooth and is available now.

For the Raspberry Pi: A new motherboard is intended to significantly expand the capabilities of the single-board computer and give makers a very wide range of options for experimentation. It makes it possible to use a Raspberry Pi with standard components. PCIe can also be used. The Sentinel Core is now available for pre-order via a crowdfunding campaign.

A compact new computer system and, depending on the definition, a single-board computer or barebone system uses Intel SoCs and should offer quite solid computing performance. The Advantech MIO-5356 is also compatible with various operating systems.

The Q01 is a new pair of smart glasses. It is intended to be particularly useful for athletes and also supports video recording. The gadget can even be used with voice assistants, although it is not necessarily an AR headset.

A new and particularly compact board can be used to connect various sensors and actuators, and it comes with an SoC based on the RISC-V architecture. As usual, the WeAct CH32V006F8U6 is programmed via USB Type-C and can also be powered over USB.

The Arduino UNO Media Carrier is a new expansion board that is relatively affordable and is intended to significantly expand the capabilities of compatible developer boards and single-board computers. As the name suggests, the focus is primarily on media functions.

A new expansion board essentially turns the Raspberry Pi 5 into a NAS. It comes with two Ethernet ports and support for multiple storage drives. Both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch hard drives are supported.

Garmin is continuing to improve its own products, as patents that have now become public illustrate. Specifically, an improved technology could presumably lead to better positioning accuracy or stronger connection quality of smartwatches like the Garmin Fenix 9.

The SpectraSlideOut is an additional display that attaches to a notebook in a somewhat unusual way. That means the extra display can essentially remain attached to the notebook at all times and be carried along with it.

Bigme has unveiled a new mobile device with two displays. The smartphone features an e-ink display on one side and an LCD on the other. That could make it possible to combine the advantages of both technologies.

With 5G and gaming ambitions: A new tablet is expected to stand out with modern cellular connectivity and a powerful SoC, and it comes with a faster display. The iPlay 80 Mini Ultra is still relatively compact and, paired with a suitable controller, could be an alternative to a gaming handheld.

For the Raspberry Pi 5: A new add-on board looks well suited to a range of specific use cases and enables both backup power in the event of a power outage and the storage of larger amounts of data on an SSD.

The Neuro N6 is a new compact board designed for applications such as image recognition, including the use of AI and neural networks. It is advertised as having low power consumption, which could make it suitable for mobile applications.

The CX-268 is a new, affordable gaming controller equipped with a display and promises precise inputs. Despite its modest price tag, the model features Hall effect joysticks and triggers as well as multi-platform compatibility.

Xiaomi has added a new smart surveillance camera to its lineup. It features a zoom function and motorized movement. The model also touts AI capabilities and can recognize situations to a certain extent.

A new developer board comes in a Raspberry Pi form factor and supports connecting external sensors, among other things, while also featuring two microphones. Displays can also be connected. It is essentially built around two separate chips, which also enables wireless network connectivity.

Garmin wearables users can benefit from powerful and very extensive additional data analysis with Garmin Chat Connector, and do so without a paid Garmin Connect+ subscription. Rob Trent shows the capabilities of the solution using an example.

A new, affordable smartphone comes with an e-ink display and should therefore also be well suited for showing e-books or reading long texts. It even includes a stylus. It is being advertised with a refresh rate that is quite respectable for an e-ink display.

A new OnePlus smartphone is now also available to buy for international customers, though with certain limitations due to direct import. The OnePlus 15T is being offered in three different model versions.

A smartwatch we have already tested and found to be well equipped is getting new features with a free update. Athletes in particular could benefit significantly from the update. The update is already being rolled out to owners of the Amazfit T-Rex 3 Pro.

With e-ink and extensive capabilities: A new display that can also be used wirelessly relies on electronic ink and includes its own processing chip. WiFi is also supported, and creating custom interfaces is intended to be straightforward.

The Taalas HC1 is a new chip – essentially a processor – specifically designed to accelerate a single AI model. The rise of such specialized chips isn’t an entirely new phenomenon and has already been seen in crypto mining.
