LG UltraGear 34GX90SA: 240Hz OLED with webOS Launch
LG has revealed three OLED monitors before CES 2025, which it displayed earlier this month at the trade fair in Las Vegas. Interestingly, they also introduced a fourth model, the UltraGear OLED 39GX90SA, which didn’t attract much attention.
Early Details Surface
Recently, sources like DisplaySpecifications and Prad.de have noted that LG has released some preliminary information about the UltraGear OLED 34GX90SA on a Japanese microsite. At first glance, the UltraGear OLED 34GX90SA seems to be quite similar to the UltraGear OLED 34GS95QE from last year (currently priced at $799.99 on Amazon). Both models feature a 1440p resolution, a 240 Hz refresh rate, and an impressive 0.03 ms GtG response time.
Specifications and Features
LG has confirmed that the UltraGear OLED 34GX90SA has an 800R curvature and covers 98.5% of the DCI-P3 color space, boasting VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 and ClearMR 13000 certifications. Essentially, these specs mirror those of the UltraGear OLED 34GS95QE, which indicates that LG may be reusing the WOLED panel for the new model.
Notable Differences
The distinctions between the UltraGear OLED 34GX90SA and the UltraGear OLED 34GS95QE are rather subtle. For instance, LG has added a second DisplayPort 1.4 and a USB Type-C port to the latter, allowing it to charge connected devices up to 65 W. Conversely, the UltraGear OLED 34GX90SA comes equipped with webOS, which will enable access to gaming streaming platforms like Nvidia GeForce Now. Details about pricing and availability remain undisclosed, but we expect LG to provide this information later this quarter, based on their historical trends.

Samsung HW-QS700F: Versatile Flagship Soundbar Launching 2025
Samsung has recently revealed the HW-QS700F soundbar, providing more insights into this new model. It was showcased at CES 2025 alongside the HW-Q990F soundbar, highlighting its flagship status.
Features of the HW-QS700F
The Samsung HW-QS700F is designed as a 3.1.2-channel soundbar equipped with a total of nine speakers. This setup includes both front-facing and upfiring speakers, complemented by a wireless subwoofer. Samsung brands the soundbar as “versatile,” allowing it to be wall-mounted or set on a media cabinet, and it can be oriented either vertically or horizontally. An integrated gyroscope sensor enables the speakers to automatically adjust their roles based on the positioning, ensuring that audio is delivered in a balanced manner.
Advanced Capabilities
Samsung has announced that the QS700F will feature several advanced technologies such as Active Voice Amplifier Pro, Q-Symphony Pro, and the innovative Eclipsa Audio when paired with a compatible 2025 television. Additionally, it is expected to support Apple AirPlay 2, Chromecast, and SpaceFit Sound. There are also rumors suggesting that it will support Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital Audio, and DTS:X.
Launch and Pricing
While the HW-QS700F is set to be released in 2025, the exact launch date and pricing remain uncertain. For comparison, the 2023 HW-Q700C, which is also a 3.1.2 channel soundbar, was initially priced at $699.99 but is currently listed for $447.95 on Amazon. In addition to the HW-Q990F, Samsung is also anticipated to introduce the HW-B750F and HW-B650F models later this year.

Baseus EnerCore CR11 Power Banks with Retractable Cables Launched
The Baseus EnerCore Series was presented at CES 2025. The company claims to have crafted these gadgets for travelers and outdoor enthusiasts, focusing on a compact design and easy use. The lineup features four power banks, all bearing the EnerCore CR11 name.
Features of the Powerful Model
The standout model is the EnerCore CR11 Retractable Power Bank 100W 20,000 mAh. This version includes two built-in cables—one that retracts and another with a fixed length. Both cables are smartly tucked away within the power bank’s shell, maintaining its slim profile.

However, it’s $10 pricier than the newly announced Baseus EnerGeek MiFi power bank, which also has a 20,000mAh capacity and functions as a mobile hotspot. During the event, three additional EnerCore CR11 Retractable Power Banks were introduced, each with a lower capacity of 10,000mAh and maximum output options of 45W, 67W, or 100W.

Withings Omnia: New Body Health Scanner with ECG Launched
The Withings Omnia digital health product was showcased at CES 2025. This mirror-like device is still in a concept stage, but the company has expressed intentions to release it commercially in the future.
Building on Previous Innovations
Withings is actively working on the Omnia, which improves upon previous devices such as the Body Smart scales, currently priced at $79.95 on Amazon. This new gadget aims to deliver a thorough evaluation of users’ health by examining various metrics, including heart and lung function, body composition, sleep patterns, physical activity, and nutrition.

Interactive Health Monitoring
The Omnia mirror is portrayed as an engaging display that presents a 3D representation of your body and offers AI-driven recommendations to enhance your health and fitness. Users will be able to track various measurements, including ECG readings, muscle-to-fat ratios, variations in body temperature, and ketone levels. There will also be a sleep apnea detection feature aimed at customers in Europe. Additionally, the Omnia includes an AI assistant that responds to voice commands, allowing you to inquire about various health-related topics.
Future Release Uncertain
At this moment, it remains uncertain when the Withings Omnia digital health device will be available for the general public, as well as its potential pricing. Nevertheless, some features related to the Omnia, such as AI suggestions and clinical reviews, are set to be integrated into the Withings app later this year.

For enhanced versatility, it offers an optional CastPlay dongle to support HDMI devices like gaming consoles and TV boxes.
Aurzen has also included ToF zero-lag autofocus tech, which enables the projector to focus instantly and correct vertical keystone distortion by measuring distances 30 times in a second. Furthermore, its built-in gyroscope allows the projector to easily adjust to both horizontal and vertical positions, making it ideal for displaying mobile content from apps like TikTok and Instagram in full-screen mode without borders.
Performance and Availability

Genki Confirms CES 2025 Nintendo Switch 2 Mockup Came from Leaks
Genki, a gaming accessory company from the US, recently caught attention by presenting a mockup of the Nintendo Switch 2 at CES 2025, claiming it was inspired by the actual device. The company proudly stated that it had insider knowledge of the original handheld. However, Genki has since retracted these statements made during the event.
Admission of Fault
In a chat with the Japanese gaming website GameSpark on January 10, a Genki representative confessed that no one in the firm had actually laid eyes on the genuine device. The mockup and all the information shared at CES 2025 were actually based on industry leaks rather than firsthand experience.
This revelation came soon after Nintendo informed CNET Japan that it had not provided Genki with any early access to the new handheld. Genki isn’t alone in making such bold statements; many other accessory producers have also claimed insider knowledge. Recently, numerous leaks regarding Switch 2 accessories have emerged, some from sources echoing similar claims.
The Mockup’s Validity
It’s important to highlight that while Genki may have overstated the authenticity of its Nintendo Switch 2 mockup, this doesn’t mean it bears no resemblance to the actual device. According to the company, the mockup was indeed inspired by industry leaks, and several features align with previous reports.
For instance, the enigmatic “C” button is shown on the mockup, along with a U-shaped kickstand. However, it’s worth noting that there’s no assurance that those earlier reports were correct. One thing is for sure, though: the Switch 2 is on the way, with Nintendo expected to make an announcement by March 2025.

Lenovo TWS Earbuds X9 and Legion H410 Headset Launch at CES 2025
At CES 2025, Lenovo unveiled two fresh audio devices: the Lenovo TWS Earbuds (X9 Edition) and the Lenovo Legion H410 Wireless Gaming Headset.
Lenovo TWS Earbuds (X9 Edition)
The Lenovo TWS Earbuds (X9 Edition) are crafted to complement ThinkPad X9 laptops. They sport a lightweight, stem-like build meant for long usage. These earbuds provide active noise cancellation (ANC) capability, reducing noise by up to 40dB, which is quite satisfactory for their price of $69.99.
These earbuds are equipped with “voiceprint noise-canceling technology,” utilizing beamforming microphones to minimize background sounds during calls. Other features consist of Dolby Atmos support, automatic call answering, multi-point connectivity, and compatibility with Bluetooth 5.3. Lenovo claims these earbuds work effortlessly with ThinkPad X9 laptops, although it hasn’t detailed any unique features. Information on battery duration, water resistance, codec support, and the driver configuration is still pending.
Lenovo Legion H410 Wireless Gaming Headset
The Lenovo Legion H410 Wireless Gaming Headset is designed specifically for gamers, featuring 40mm drivers and a closed-back design to deliver crisp and engaging audio. The headset is light and has an ergonomic design to ensure comfort for long gaming sessions.
With a flip-to-mute microphone, users can easily manage their audio. It also offers dual connectivity—2.4GHz USB-A for low latency and Bluetooth 5.2 for flexibility—making it suitable for various gaming configurations. Priced at $99, this headset emphasizes practical features without any unnecessary frills.
Availability
The Lenovo TWS Earbuds (X9 Edition) are currently available for $69.99, while the Legion H410 Wireless Gaming Headset is set to launch in April 2025, starting at $99.

Intel Unveils Lunar Lake Tencent 3D Gaming Handheld at CES 2025
Intel and Tencent have teamed up to create an exciting handheld gaming device that offers glasses-free 3D experiences. This gadget was first revealed in China in November last year and had its full reveal at CES 2025. As mentioned in the first announcement, this device is quite large.
Notable Features
Specifically, the Tencent 3D gaming handheld features an 11-inch display. This makes the Sunday Dragon bigger than the Legion Go, which is already considered quite large with its 8.8-inch screen. However, unlike typical handheld displays, the Sunday Dragon’s screen utilizes “naked-eye 3D” technology along with an “image interlacing algorithm.”
This means the 120Hz display can provide “naked-eye 3D visual effects.” During the initial announcement, the company indicated that the device is optimized for various PC games, including Blade & Soul, Path of Exile, and Arena Breakout: Infinite. It remains uncertain if there have been any additional advancements in this area.
Design and Functionality
In a similar fashion to the Lenovo Legion Go, the joy cons of the Tencent Sunday Dragon are detachable. It also includes a built-in kickstand at the back, allowing users to place the device on a flat surface easily.
Regarding specifications, the Tencent 3D gaming handheld is powered by the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V processor. This is one of the high-end options from the Lunar Lake series and comes with the Arc 140V iGPU, positioning it as a strong competitor against the MSI Claw 8 AI+ and the upcoming Ryzen Z2 Extreme handhelds.
Availability and Pricing
As of now, there’s no information on when the Tencent Sunday Dragon will be available for purchase, and Intel has not revealed any pricing details either. Nevertheless, since it was showcased at CES 2025, it’s likely that it will hit the global market soon (Z1 Extreme ROG Ally curr. $499.99 on Best Buy).

Nintendo Switch 2 Release Window and Launch Titles Leak
This year’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES) has been happening all week long. Many new devices have been shown off at CES 2025, but the buzz about Nintendo’s upcoming console keeps growing. This excitement was partly fueled by Genki, which showcased various accessories called ‘NS2’ that were specifically made for the Switch 2.
Leaks and Speculation
Not long after, a popular leaker shared images of the console, which got even more attention when a Gamestop employee hinted at possible microSD Express support in another leak. Then, a member of Famiboards posted what they claimed was a picture of a working unit, which we have included above. This led to discussions among other members about the details visible in the image, particularly concerning the size of the console’s display bezels:
If we assume the bezels are even, the screen height would likely be between 100-102 mm. By applying the aspect ratio for a 1080p display, we could estimate the width to be around 178-181 mm.
Display Size Insights
If these estimates hold true, the Switch 2 might have an 8 to 8.2-inch display, rather than the approximately 8.4-inch panel suggested by @OnLeaks just yesterday. Meanwhile, the r/NintendoSwitch2 subreddit has been buzzing with new theories from Average Lucia Fanatic, known for their accurate predictions about the PlayStation 5 Pro (currently priced at $699 on Amazon) before its launch.
We advise caution regarding the details shown in the image below for the time being. For example, while it may seem plausible that Mario Kart 9 could be a launch title based on Nintendo’s history, suggesting a seven-year-old AAA game as a second option feels unlikely. Additionally, the conversion of CA$400 to about $280 would make it cheaper than the Switch OLED in the US. Ultimately, we will discover whether any of these initial claims are true in just one week’s time.

Technology Behind the Pendant
The visuals presented for the Pendant indicate its capability to monitor the wearer’s current emotional state, heart rate, and other important vital signs using mmWave radar, which operates in a frequency range between 30 GHz and 300 GHz.
