Ugreen has introduced a new 45W power bank, the Rhythm Series S45 (model PB603), currently listed on JD.com in China for 199 yuan ($29). It features a standard 10,000mAh capacity and is designed to address a very common annoyance: remembering your battery pack but forgetting the charging cable. By integrating a built-in USB-C cable, it offers a straightforward solution for keeping your devices powered on the go.

Ugreen PB603 Power Bank Specifications

The device measures 152 x 71 x 29.8 mm. On the outside, it has a ripple-textured finish to help with grip and a small TFT digital display on the front to clearly show the remaining battery percentage.

The built-in 45W USB-C cable sits at the top, supports the PD3.0 fast charging standard, and features a braided finish to handle standard wear and tear. Ugreen hasn’t detailed the rest of the port selection yet.

Inside the casing, the power bank uses ATL battery cells, which are generally known in the industry for their reliability. Ugreen notes that this model includes updated battery technology aimed at extending its overall lifespan.

The company states the new model offers a 166% improvement in charge cycle longevity over its previous generation, which was rated for around 300 cycles.

For safety, it uses a proprietary Battery Management System (BMS) to monitor charging conditions. According to the company, the device has gone through over 150 testing procedures to meet China’s latest 3C safety standards.

Some of these tests are quite specific, for instance, Ugreen says the battery cell passed a puncture test with a 4mm steel needle and withstood 1.43 tons of pressure without catching fire or failing. It also reportedly survived a 135°C heat chamber test.

To keep things cool during standard 45W fast charging, the device relies on a four-layer cooling system. This includes high thermal conductivity graphene materials and an NTC intelligent temperature control system that Ugreen says performs up to 360,000 temperature checks per hour to prevent overheating.

In related news, OnePlus has recently introduced a 15,000mAh power bank with 120W fast charging and advanced battery safety technology.

Zebronics has added a new flagship soundbar to its home audio lineup in India. The ZEB-Juke Bar 9890 is a 5.1.2 channel system that supports both Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. It is currently available on Amazon and Flipkart with a launch price of ₹29,999 ($315).

Zebronics ZEB-Juke Bar 9890 Specifications

The system has a total stated output of 1030W RMS, which is divided among a few different components. The main soundbar unit contains five drivers, three facing forward and two pointing upward to handle the height channels required for spatial audio formats.

The package also includes two rear satellite speakers and an 8-inch (20.32cm) subwoofer. Because the rear speakers and subwoofer connect wirelessly to the main bar, it cuts down on the amount of cabling needed across the living room, making the initial setup a bit more straightforward.

For audio processing, the soundbar relies on its up-firing drivers to bounce sound off the ceiling, simulating overhead audio for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X tracks. Zebronics also includes its own internal audio processing, which it calls Zeb-AcoustiMax, designed to manage the surround sound distribution.

Physically, the soundbar and satellite speakers are wrapped in a dark fabric finish, a common design choice intended to help the hardware blend in with standard living room furniture. The main bar features a basic LED display on the front to show the current input or volume level, and the unit includes the necessary hardware to be mounted to a wall.

The connectivity options cover the standard requirements for a modern TV setup. The primary connection is HDMI eARC, which is necessary to transmit high-bandwidth audio formats directly from the TV.

It also features an optical input, a 3.5mm auxiliary jack, and a USB port for playing MP3 files from a flash drive. For wireless audio playback from a phone or tablet, it uses Bluetooth 5.3.

In related news, Sony has recently introduced the HT-B500 soundbar with Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and a 3.1-channel configuration, while boAt has launched the Aavante Prime X, a wireless 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos soundbar delivering 700W output

Smart rings are becoming pretty common, and RingConn has just announced its third-generation model. The main updates for the RingConn Gen 3 are a built-in vibration motor and a feature that tracks nighttime blood pressure trends. It costs $349 globally (or $314 if you pre-order) and, like the company’s previous models, it doesn’t require a monthly subscription to use the companion app.

RingConn Gen 3 Specifications

Physically, the Gen 3 is a titanium ring with a medical-grade epoxy resin on the inside. It’s about 2.3mm thick and weighs between 2.5 and 3.5 grams depending on the size you get, which keeps it in line with the standard footprint for this category. The sensors inside are what you’d expect: an optical heart rate sensor, a temperature sensor, and an accelerometer.

The most noticeable hardware change is the vibration motor. Putting haptic feedback in a ring without making it bulky or severely draining the battery is usually tricky, but RingConn included it to give you physical nudges.

The ring vibrates for things like a low battery, high stress, or if you’ve been sitting still for too long. It’s a small change, but it means you don’t have to look at your phone as often to know what the ring is doing.

On the health tracking side, RingConn is introducing a feature it calls Vascular Health Insights. It is important to note that this isn’t a medical diagnostic tool. Instead, it monitors your blood pressure trends automatically overnight while you sleep. The goal is to show you how your daily habits might be affecting your vascular patterns over time.

The Gen 3 also adds sleep apnea pattern tracking and full-cycle predictions for women. For daily use, it tracks standard metrics like blood oxygen, stress, and workouts, with automatic detection for basic exercises like walking, running, and cycling.

Coming to the battery life, RingConn says the Gen 3 lasts 11 to 14 days if you turn the vibrations off, and 10 to 12 days if you leave them on. It comes with a wireless charging case that holds up to 150 days of standby charge and takes about 90 minutes to recharge the ring. It’s also water-resistant up to 10ATM, so you don’t need to take it off to shower or swim.

The ring works with both iOS and Android, and it syncs with Apple Health and Google Health Connect. If you happen to be away from your phone, the ring can store up to 10 days of data locally.

In related news, Rogbid has recently launched the SR15 smart ring, offering health tracking features along with vibration-based alerts.

Casio recently added two new digital watches to its US lineup: the AE1600HX-1BV and the AE1600HX-3AV. Both models are priced at $45.95. If they look familiar, it is because they were already listed on Casio’s international and European websites last month, but they are now officially available for US buyers.

Design Details

The main difference between these new “HX” models and the standard AE-1600H series is the strap length. Standard Casio resin bands usually fit wrist sizes up to 215mm. These new models come with an extra-long rally-style strap that accommodates wrists from 145mm up to 235mm.

It is a practical change for people who usually find standard watch bands too tight. The longer band is also useful if you need to wear the watch over a jacket or long sleeves while working or spending time outdoors. The strap uses a double-hole design, which helps keep the watch secure on the wrist.

As for the design, both watches have a large resin case measuring 54.1 by 49.7mm, and they are 15.9mm thick. Despite the bulky size, they only weigh 55 grams. The AE1600HX-1BV is the black model. It uses a negative LCD, meaning the screen background is dark while the numbers are light, and has small light blue text on the case.

The AE1600HX-3AV comes in a dark olive color with a standard LCD screen and lime yellow text. Both versions have a large button on the front of the case that turns on an amber LED backlight, making it easy to check the time in the dark.

Internally, these watches offer the standard set of features you would expect from an affordable Casio. They are powered by a CR2032 coin battery that is rated to last for about 10 years. They also have 100-meter (10-bar) water resistance, meaning you can swim or wash your hands with them without an issue.

The software includes basic daily tools: a dual time function, a 1/100-second stopwatch, a 24-hour countdown timer, and five alarms (including one snooze option). The digital calendar is fully automatic up to the year 2099.

In related news, Casio has recently unveiled two new Star Wars G-Shock watches, while also introducing the Mudmaster GWG-B1000MG-1A9 with a magma-inspired design.

Working on a single laptop screen can be frustrating when you need to view multiple documents or applications at the same time. Portable monitors are a standard fix for this, and Asus has just added another option to the mix. The ZenScreen OLED MQ16FC is a 16-inch secondary display aimed at people who work away from a desk, and it is priced at €280 in Europe.

Asus ZenScreen OLED MQ16FC Specifications

The monitor uses an OLED panel with a 1920 x 1200 resolution. That gives it a 16:10 aspect ratio, which matches most modern productivity laptops and provides a little more vertical space for reading text or viewing spreadsheets. The screen covers 95% of the DCI-P3 color space and has a Delta E < 2 color accuracy rating.

In practical terms, the colors and contrast should be reliable enough for standard photo and video editing tasks. It is a 60Hz display, so it is meant for work and watching media rather than gaming, though the 1ms response time should keep text scrolling looking normal.

The most useful hardware addition is the power pass-through system. The monitor includes two USB-C ports (which support DisplayPort Alt Mode) and a mini-HDMI port.

If you plug a compatible USB-C charger into the monitor, it can pass up to 65W of power directly to your connected laptop. This is helpful if you are working in a cafe or an airport and only have access to a single wall outlet, as you can keep both devices powered using one charging brick.

Physically, the monitor is built to fit in a standard laptop bag. It weighs 0.68 kg and is 0.9 cm thick. It includes a built-in kickstand, a standard 1/4-inch tripod socket if you prefer to mount it, and software that automatically rotates the screen if you turn it vertically.

Asus also included a specific color profile intended to match the screen output of Apple’s MacBooks, which might save macOS users some time adjusting settings to get their screens to match.

In related news, Lenovo has recently introduced a 31.5-inch 4K 240Hz QD-OLED gaming monitor with a 0.03ms response time, while LG has unveiled the UltraGear 32GX870B featuring Tandem OLED and a 480Hz esports mode.

The market for OLED gaming monitors has been steadily growing, and Lenovo is adding a new model to the list. Through its Lecoo sub-brand, the company recently launched the W3259PS in China.

It is a 31.5-inch display that includes the standard features expected from a current high-end desktop monitor: a 4K UHD resolution, a 240Hz refresh rate, and a QD-OLED panel, priced at 5,499 Yuan (roughly $805).

Lenovo Lecoo W3259PS Specifications

The primary feature of the monitor is its QD-OLED panel. Because OLED uses self-emissive pixels, the display controls brightness and color at the individual pixel level. This results in the deep blacks and high contrast ratios typical of OLED technology. Lenovo also applied an anti-reflective (AR) coating to the screen to help reduce glare in brighter rooms. The panel has a peak brightness of 450 nits, which is standard for desktop OLEDs in this category.

For gaming, the W3259PS comes with a 240Hz refresh rate paired with a 0.03ms gray-to-gray response time, which helps reduce motion blur and ghosting in fast-moving scenes. It supports Adaptive Sync to prevent screen tearing and includes standard software features like on-screen crosshairs and preset picture modes for FPS and RTS games.

The monitor is also suitable for general content creation. The 10-bit panel supports 1.07 billion colors, covering 99% of the DCI-P3 color gamut and 100% of sRGB. It is factory-calibrated with an average Delta E of less than 2, meaning the color accuracy should be reliable out of the box. To help with eye strain during longer sessions, the display incorporates a flicker-free design and hardware-level low blue light technology.

The port selection covers the basics for modern setups. It includes one DisplayPort, two HDMI ports, and a USB-C port that provides up to 90W of power delivery. The 90W output is useful for people who want to connect and charge a work laptop using a single cable. The monitor also supports Picture-in-Picture (PIP) and Picture-by-Picture (PBP) modes, allowing you to view two input sources at the same time.

Physically, the monitor comes with an adjustable stand that supports height, tilt, swivel, and pivot changes. If you prefer to use a third-party monitor arm, the back of the display supports a 75 x 75mm VESA mount.

Casio has released two new Star Wars-themed watches ahead of the upcoming The Mandalorian and Grogu movie. The new models, which fall under the G-Shock and Baby-G product lines, are available starting May 1 in the US, UK, and the European Union.

Design Details

The release includes the $220 GM2100-1ASW and the $130 BA110YK-3ASW. Rather than just stamping a Star Wars logo on standard models, Casio customized the materials and colors to match the film’s two main characters. Both watches feature analog-digital hybrid displays, combining traditional watch hands with small LCD screens for additional data.

The GM2100-1ASW is the larger of the two, designed to reference the Mandalorian’s armor. It features a forged stainless steel bezel with an industrial, brushed finish that mimics the look of Beskar steel from the franchise. It measures 49.3 by 44.4 by 11.8 mm and weighs 72 grams.

As a standard G-Shock, it includes the company’s core guard structure for drop protection and offers 200 meters of water resistance. It also includes a hand shift feature, which temporarily moves the analog hands out of the way so you can read the digital display. It runs on two SR726W batteries, which Casio estimates will last about three years.

The second watch is the Baby-G BA110YK-3ASW, which serves as the Grogu tie-in. It costs $130 and comes in a green resin finish. It has a smaller footprint and weighs 45 grams, making it a better fit for smaller wrists.

The water resistance is lower on this model, rated at 100 meters, and the batteries are expected to last around two years. However, it still includes the standard shock resistance found across the lineup.

Both watches share a similar set of everyday features. They include world time tracking (31 time zones on the GM2100, 29 on the BA110), a 1/100-second stopwatch, countdown timers, and five daily alarms. The GM2100 uses a double white LED for illumination, while the BA110 uses an amber LED.

Casio is also including a custom watch stand with both models. The stand is designed to look like a Bounty Hunter ID card. It ships flat, but it has built-in magnets that allow you to fold it into a rigid 3D stand to hold the watch on a desk or shelf when you aren’t wearing it.

The watches are available now at select retailers, the G-Shock SoHo store, and Casio’s website.

In related news, Casio has recently introduced the Mudmaster GWG-B1000MG-1A9 with a magma-inspired design, alongside a new Coca-Cola-themed G-Shock watch featuring an iconic bottle-inspired look.

Casio has officially listed the newest addition to its Master of G lineup, the G-Shock Mudmaster GWG-B1000MG-1A9. After floating around the rumor mill for a bit, the watch is now up for pre-order on Casio’s Japanese website for ¥143,000 (roughly $910) and is scheduled to start shipping in later this month.

Design Details

The design of this specific model is heavily inspired by earth science and geology. Casio went with red and orange accents on the dial to mimic the look of magma, while the metal components feature a gold-tone finish. The resin band is also molded to look like different layers of rock strata.

Casio is continuing to use biomass plastics for the main resin parts of the case, bezel, and band. It’s a practical step toward using renewable materials, and it doesn’t seem to compromise the standard shock, dust, mud, and 20-bar water resistance that the Mudmaster series is known for.

Under the hood, the GWG-B1000MG-1A9 isn’t a full smartwatch, but it does have a good amount of connectivity. It features Casio’s Triple Sensor, meaning you get a built-in compass, an altimeter/barometer, and a thermometer. It’s also solar-powered.

Casio says a full charge will get you about six months of normal use without any light exposure, or up to two years if it drops into power-saving mode. For timekeeping, it relies on Multi-Band 6 radio control, which automatically syncs the time if you are in range of towers in Japan, North America, Europe, or China.

You can also pair the watch to your phone via Bluetooth using the Casio Watches app. This handles basic tasks like automatic time correction and adjusting settings, but it also includes a location indicator.

If you set a destination in the app, the physical hands on the watch will point toward it, a helpful feature if you’re hiking and don’t want to keep pulling out your phone. Casio does note that this specific location feature isn’t available in China, however.

Rounding out the spec sheet, the watch has a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and a double LED light system so you can read the analog-digital display in the dark.

In related news, Casio has recently unveiled a new Coca-Cola G-Shock watch featuring an iconic bottle-inspired design, while the Casio Vintage A159WE-1 has been listed in Europe with its classic styling and a 7-year battery life.

LG is bringing a new dual-mode OLED gaming monitor to the Japanese market. The UltraGear 32GX870B is a 31.5-inch display that lets you choose between a sharp 4K resolution at 240Hz for visually demanding single-player games, or a much faster 480Hz at 1080p for competitive shooters. It’s a practical two-in-one approach that is becoming increasingly common in the high-end monitor space.

LG UltraGear 32GX870B Specifications

The panel itself uses LG’s fourth-generation Tandem OLED technology. Unlike the previous 32GX870A model, which relied on a three-layer emission structure, this new version steps up to a four-layer Primary RGB design. In everyday terms, this translates to improved brightness and color performance.

LG notes the monitor hits a typical SDR brightness of 335 nits and can peak at 1,500 nits in HDR. It covers 99.5% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, boasts a Delta E of less than 2 for out-of-the-box color accuracy, and offers a dynamic contrast ratio of 1,850,000:1. There is also an anti-glare coating to help mitigate reflections from ambient room lighting.

The dual-mode functionality is the main draw here, supported by VESA’s Dual Mode standard. If you switch over to the 1080p 480Hz mode for esports titles like Valorant or Counter-Strike 2, playing on a 32-inch screen can sometimes feel too large for your field of view.

To address this, LG included a feature that scales the display area down to either 27 inches or 24.5 inches with black borders, mimicking the standard monitor sizes used in competitive tournaments. Add in a 0.03ms gray-to-gray response time, VESA ClearMR 13000 certification, and support for both Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, and motion blur shouldn’t be an issue.

For connectivity, the monitor includes a DisplayPort 2.1 (UHBR20) connection, which provides enough bandwidth to run these high refresh rates without relying heavily on display stream compression. You also get two HDMI ports, a USB-C port with 90W power delivery (which is great for charging a laptop with a single cable), and a two-port USB 3.2 Gen 1 hub.

The monitor includes built-in 7W stereo speakers and a suite of AI-driven features for upscaling and sound optimization. The stand offers a standard array of ergonomic adjustments, including height, tilt, swivel, and a 90-degree pivot, all wrapped in a slim, four-side borderless design.

Pricing and Availability

The UltraGear 32GX870B is priced at 169,800 yen ($1,081), and shipments in Japan are slated to begin on June 11th. There is no official word yet on when it will hit other markets, but given LG’s usual release cycles, a wider rollout seems likely in the coming months.

In related news, Xiaomi is reportedly planning to increase monitor prices amid rising chip and memory costs, while Samsung has launched the Odyssey G8 G80HS featuring a 6K display and a 330Hz refresh rate.

Even in an era dominated by cloud storage and ultra-fast portable SSDs, there is still a very real need for a basic, reliable USB flash drive. Kingston is leaning into that dependable, everyday market with the launch of its new DataTraveler Exodia DTXG2 in China. The drive is currently listed on JD.com, with its first official sale scheduled to kick off on May 6.

Kingston DataTraveler Exodia DTXG2 Specs

The DTXG2 is a straightforward piece of hardware that doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel. It utilizes a standard USB-A connector, making it immediately compatible with the vast majority of desktop computers, older laptops, and various digital peripherals you likely already have lying around. It supports a USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface, though it remains fully backward compatible with USB 2.0 ports, ensuring you won’t run into issues when plugging it into legacy hardware.

When it comes to performance, the specifications are firmly grounded in basic utility. The drive offers a maximum read speed of 50MB/s and a write speed of 5MB/s. Those numbers mean the DTXG2 isn’t built for transferring massive 4K video projects or acting as a scratch disk for heavy media editing. Instead, it is positioned strictly for everyday tasks, moving text documents, PDFs, a few photos, or small media files between devices without much fuss.

To make the drive a bit more practical for daily carry, Kingston has opted for a colorful, keyring-style design. The back end of the drive features a prominent loop, making it easy to attach to a set of keys, a lanyard, or a backpack zipper so it doesn’t get lost in your pocket. To protect the USB-A connector, it includes a basic black snap-on cap designed to stay firmly in place while bouncing around in a bag.

Kingston is also using color to differentiate the storage tiers, which is a helpful touch if you happen to own more than one or need to grab a specific drive at a glance. The entry-level 64GB model comes in a standard black finish and is priced at an accessible 59.9 yuan ($9).

Moving up the stack, the 128GB version costs 89.9 yuan ($13) and features an ocean blue accent. The 256GB variant comes in lemon green for 209 yuan ($30), while the top-tier 512GB model stands out in purple and will set you back 419 yuan ($61).

For a bit of added security, Kingston is backing the DTXG2 series with a five-year limited warranty.

In related news, Asus has recently unveiled the ProArt PA40SU USB4 SSD enclosure with support for up to 4TB NVMe storage, while Adata has introduced the Urban Tapsafe portable SSD featuring NFC unlock and speeds of up to 1900MB/s.
