For a while now, the WESN Allman has been hard to buy in the color you wanted. That changed on July 30. Every version is in stock again, and two G10 colors that disappeared years ago are back with them: Blacked Out OD Green and Blacked Out Mustard. Now you can buy the one you […]

I’d reserve a spot on this one, not a wallet. InkLeaf’s whole pitch fits into one motion: fold two E-Ink panels flat and get a book on one side, a notebook on the other, updating in real time. Founder Kameron Yu built the InkLeaf Foldable E Ink Tablet around that swap, and the early photos

Samsung India’s product page for the Galaxy F70 Pro 5G carries a commitment that used to sit well above this price bracket. Six generations of OS upgrades. Six years of security updates. Put that policy on a Galaxy F device and the ownership math shifts before anyone’s had a chance to argue about sensor sizes.

Picture a blackout driveway: the porch light’s dead, the fridge’s gone quiet, and there’s a two-ton battery sitting fifteen feet from the kitchen door doing nothing but existing. The company wants to close that gap with the Hyundai AllDayEnergy. Hyundai Motor Group unveiled AllDayEnergy on July 24, a single brand covering its vehicle-to-everything energy services:

Casio built its 2026 G-SHOCK campaign like a two-chapter movie instead of a typical product ad. Casio America announced the G-SHOCK Shock Yourself campaign, and it stars multi-platinum artist Lil Tecca instead of a spec sheet. Two cinematic chapters carry the story, backed by a full media push across photos, digital placements, social posts, and

Old Timer built a three-blade pocketknife that the modern outdoor market mostly ignores, and that’s the whole point of the Generational USA Series. The Old Timer Middleman 34OTG packs a clip point, a sheepsfoot, and a pen blade into one bone-handled frame, forged from 1095 high carbon steel and assembled start to finish in the

Razer spent years telling competitive players that its analog optical switches were the fastest input it could build. On July 30, 2026, it announced the Razer Huntsman V3 HE Magnetic 8KHz Keyboard line, its first Hall Effect magnetic keyboard family, and published a latency number that sits behind the optical boards it already sells. That’s

The Lola x Miffy Digital Camera started shipping on July 31, and the price is the part worth arguing about. At $109 in the US, £79 in the UK, and AU$159 in Australia, this camera lands in the awkward middle of the digicam revival, sitting well above the $35 keychain toys and far below anything

The FiiO RETRO BOX is shipping. The cassette shaped desktop speaker sells in black and white through FiiO’s official AliExpress store for US $56.47, and the shape is doing the heavy lifting here, because a rectangular box with two knobs would never have gotten a second glance. Docking hardware is a strange thing to get

Most tools sold as everyday carry start with a blade and build outward. KANSEPT’s PryMate starts somewhere else. It’s a flat piece of titanium designed by Sebastian Irawan as a deliberately non-knife carry tool, built around a pry bar and a short list of wrenches rather than a cutting edge. It isn’t a new release,

NEC announced a new Android tablet, the LAVIE Tab T12, on July 30, and the spec sheet reads like it was assembled in two different years. The display, the battery, and the chassis all belong in 2026. The wireless radio doesn’t. LAVIE Tab T12 (PC-TAB12Q01) Price: 64,790 yen including tax (About $412) Where to Buy:

Most folding knives ask nothing of you beyond a thumb push. The WE Knife Inmate 23096B-3 asks for a specific motion, and it hands back a blade that snaps open with more authority than a thumb stud usually manages. That trade sits at the center of this knife. It’s the reason the Inmate reads as

Dell’s new XPS 13 starts at $699.99 in the U.S., or $599 for eligible students, and pairs that entry price with a 13.4-inch 2.5K display, a 2.2-pound CNC aluminum chassis, and a 512 GB SSD. Touch is part of the deal only if you pick the Sky finish, because the Storm configuration costs the same

ASUS put the Zenni Claw beta out on July 24 as a free download, and free is doing a lot of work in that sentence. The software costs nothing to install. Unless your PC can run the model locally, the intelligence behind it runs on an API key you supply yourself, billed to your own

Dive watch marketing still sells you a tool. Most of that tooling stopped mattering once dive computers got affordable, and the pitch never updated. The rotating bezel, the 200 meter rating, the lume that reads in black water, all of it survives because it looks like capability. Heron Marinor Rainbow White Price: $600 (FKM rubber)

Robots don’t fail only because a hand misses a cup. They fail because the task around that cup keeps changing. Google DeepMind’s answer is to split the problem, and Gemini Robotics ER 2 is the half that keeps track of the larger job. ER 2 isn’t a robot you can buy, and it isn’t the

Watch a camera operator on a busy set, or an engineer working front-of-house, and you’ll see the same thing. One cup sits on the ear. The other gets pushed back behind it. The room matters as much as the signal does. beyerdynamic DT 275 PRO Price: $149.99 Where to Buy: beyerdynamic, Amazon (Older model) That’s

De’Longhi wants $999.95 to solve a problem most kitchens handle with a second appliance and a shrug. Its new De Longhi Magnifica Duo ships with two milk carafes, one tuned for hot foam and one for cold, so a cappuccino at 7am and an iced latte at 3pm come out of the same machine without

Laundry is where home robotics stops being a novelty and starts asking for a place in the family budget. Weave Robotics has opened pre-orders for Isaac 1, a mobile home robot that the company says can collect clothes, fold them, put them away, make beds, and reset the small messes that gather through a normal

Timex added an automatic GMT to the Deepwater Meridian 200 on July 30, and the change is bigger than the name suggests. Deepwater already had automatics, and it had a quartz GMT, but never the two in one watch. This one puts a 24-hour hand and a ceramic bezel on a 42mm steel case with
