    Redmi Headphones Neo Finally Arrive in Europe

    Several weeks ago, Xiaomi began a global rollout of its Redmi Headphones Neo. Now, they’ve finally reached Europe and the UK and are available in three colors for £49.99 or €59,99 (France, Germany, Italy, Spain; this list is not exhaustive). The Redmi Headphones Neo are basically classic over-ear headphones with a simple design and a wide range of features, though not without limitations.

    Audio and Connectivity Specifications

    According to Xiaomi, the headphones support lossless audio transmission, but only in wired mode. LDAC is not supported; wireless audio playback is possible via Bluetooth 5.4.möglich. The headphones come with a 600 mAh battery, which is charged via USB-C. Xiaomi claims a battery life of up to 72 hours, which is only possible if active noise cancellation (ANC) is disabled.

    Battery Life and Noise Cancellation Details

    This figure also applies when using the AAC codec and at 50% volume. Xiaomi further claims that the adaptive ANC can reduce noise by up to 42 dB. Multiple microphones are used for this and also for suppressing background noise during phone calls. The headphones feature 40-millimeter drivers, and the audio can be further adjusted using an equalizer.

    Comfort and Design Features

    Unsurprisingly, Xiaomi touts the headphones’ high level of comfort, and the headband is adjustable. They also provide a decent amount of padding on the ear cups which should make long listening sessions more enjoyable. The simplistic design is aimed at users who prefer function over flashy aesthetics, making them suitable for daily commute or office use.

  • Hot Wheels Infinite Rush: New Trailer Drops 2 Months Before GTA 6

    Hot Wheels Infinite Rush: New Trailer Drops 2 Months Before GTA 6

    Key Takeaway

    – September 24 release date for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam
    – Classic arcade racing with die-cast cars on iconic orange tracks in real-world environments
    – Track hazards include a mechanical shark, dinosaur fossils, and a gorilla

    Official Reveal for Hot Wheels Infinite Rush

    The official announcement trailer for Hot Wheels Infinite Rush is now live on EB Games Australia Trailers’ YouTube channel, and it confirms a September 24 release date for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam. Where this 90-second video establishes the launch timing, other leaks hinted at a $49.99 retail price. The publisher still hasn’t officially verified this pricing; please take it with a grain of salt.

    Gameplay Features Shown in Footage

    Gameplay footage shows classic arcade racing mechanisms. Players drive die-cast vehicles across the brand’s iconic orange tracks, which are set up onto everyday environments like beaches and urban streets. The vehicle roster seems to have traditional sports cars and some “fun” designs, including a yellow rubber duck.

    Track Hazards and Platform Details

    Some track layouts have massive environmental hazards as well. The Hot Wheels trailer has glimpses of a mechanical shark, dinosaur fossils, and a gorilla obstructing the course. As per past rumors, a Nintendo Switch 2 port is also in development, though the current footage only covers current-generation hardware.

    Launch Timing and Competition

    A late September launch will mean that Infinite Rush is launching into a pretty demanding release window. It will land shortly before Grand Theft Auto 6, and the it will compete for player attention during a very crowded autumn. We’ll see if the game is able to maintain a stable player count against larger studio releases.

  • VisionCase: $50 iPhone Case with 1.85-Inch Display

    VisionCase: $50 iPhone Case with 1.85-Inch Display

    Key Takeaway

    – VisionCase is an iPhone case with a built-in 1.85-inch circular HD display for notifications and apps.
    – Powered by an AB5691G chip and a 400 mAh battery, charging magnetically or via reverse charging from the iPhone.
    – Handles real-time call, message, and app alerts without unlocking the phone; includes audio recording, screen mirroring, and bullet-chat mode.
    – Currently only shown as compatible with the iPhone 17 Pro lineup; no Android support mentioned.
    – Priced at $49.99, available in Black, Orange, Gray, and Coffee from Rollme’s official store.


    The Rollme company, who normally puts out affordable smartwatches, has now launched the VisionCase. It’s essentially an iPhone case with a built-in 1.85-inch circular HD display running at 360×360 resolution. The case is powered by an AB5691G chip, carries a 400 mAh battery, and charges magnetically — or via reverse charging directly from the phone itself, meaning no separate cable is needed to keep the case topped up.

    How the rear display works

    The rear display handles real-time notifications for calls, messages, and app alerts without requiring the user to unlock their phone. Incoming call information shows up on the display instantly. It also supports one-touch audio recording, a real-time screen preview that mirrors the phone’s main display, and a bullet-chat mode that scrolls customizable text across the screens in user-defined colors and directions.

    Extra features and mini-games

    An auto color-rotation feature cycles the display through eight colors. Built-in mini-games — including what appears to be a Tetris clone and a whack-a-mole style title — are also present. The case is powered by an AB5691G chip, carries a 400 mAh battery, and charges magnetically — or via reverse charging directly from the phone itself, meaning no separate cable is needed to keep the case topped up.

    Compatibility and color options

    Rollme does not specify which Android models the VisionCase is compatible with, or whether it is compatible at all. There’s no imagery showing it fitted on an Anrdoid device as well — all marketing material is iPhone-based, specifically, the iPhone 17 Pro lineup. The case comes in four colorways: Black, Orange, Gray, and Coffee.

    Pricing and availability

    The VisionCase is available now from Rollme’s official store at $49.99.
