In a world where smartphones have become boring slabs of glass, distinguishable only by how prominently their cameras protrude, Xiaomi has just thrown a hand grenade into a room full of engineers. The new Xiaomi 17 Ultra Leica Edition is more than just a phone. It's proof that someone in Beijing is actually listening to our nagging and is daring to make something that's both completely insane and absolutely brilliant.

Jan Macarol is the responsible editor of the printed and online editions of City Magazine Slovenia. Together with his two assistants, he strives to offer readers the most unique and fresh information about urban culture, technological innovations, fashion and everything an urban nomad needs to survive in a fast-paced world.
If you thought autonomous driving was the pinnacle of technology, you were asleep at the wheel. The new neuromorphic e-skin (NRE-Skin) doesn't just deliver touch, it delivers real, authentic pain. And trust me, it's the best safety feature since the airbag. We tested how the "chassis" that senses every scratch performs.
If I see another "reimagined" Porsche 911 with quilted leather and the price of a small island, I'm probably going to puke. Seriously. The restomod world has become so saturated with German bugs that it's almost vulgar. But just when I thought the rich had run out of imagination, along comes the Encor Series 1. A car that takes the legendary Lotus Esprit, strips it of its British tendency to decay, and adds what it always needed—modern engineering and a carbon diet.
The irony of the coming era is complete: the more digital and AI we become, the more expensive it will be to pay those who can remain brutally analog. Artificial intelligence will make mediocrity free, and genuine human contact will become the most expensive luxury on the market. The algorithm will not replace you because it is smarter than you, but because you have become boring. Let me explain!
Forget about creams that cost half the rent. This time, the secret to a youthful appearance is not hidden in a Parisian perfumery, but in your vegetable drawer. Beets and flax seeds? Oh, yes. It's homemade Botox.
Nostalgia is a powerful tool, but TAG Heuer has proven with the new TAG Heuer Formula 1 that it’s not just about looking back. By fusing the iconic 1985 design with modern Solargraph technology, they’ve created a watch that’s both a nod to the past and a serious contender for the present. Forget changing batteries; the 80s are back, this time with solar power.
Get ready. In 36 months, you won't be able to tell the difference between reality and artificial intelligence hallucination on the internet. A tsunami of "deep fake" videos generated in real time is coming, so convincing that video evidence in court will be worth no more than a used tissue. The world is shaking. Silicon Valley is panicking.
Porsche has announced a drop in profits. And not the kind of "statistical error" drop, but the kind that sets off alarms in boards of directors and quiet panic among shareholders. They may be drinking tranquilizers in Stuttgart, but the real trauma is actually taking place in Slovenian living rooms. Why? Because for the average Slovenian, Germany is still the promised land. It is our industrial "Father", our model of order, discipline and engineering superiority. If Porsche falls, if the symbol of German power falls, then our worldview is also shaken.
Forget romantic nature walks and the search for inner peace. When action queen Charlize Theron heads into the wilderness, we know sparks are going to fly—and probably a few limbs, too. Netflix has just given us the first, chilling look at Apex, which sees fan favorite Taron Egerton transform into a psychopathic hunter. Get your popcorn (and maybe some tranquilizers) ready, because this spring’s most intense game of cat and mouse is about to begin.
Did you think video games only belong in the living room and high fashion only in Paris Fashion Week? Think again. For the first time in history, the giants of their respective fields have joined forces – New Era x PlayStation. The result is a collection that blurs the lines between "geeking out" and "going out". Get ready, because your wardrobe is about to get a serious upgrade in early 2026 that you won't want to miss.
Admit it, you missed him. That icy stare, the gravity-defying cigarette, and of course, the most dangerous hairstyle in the history of television, which inspired thousands of questionable hair decisions around the world. After four years of waiting, speculation, and endless rumors, Netflix has finally revealed the cards. Cillian Murphy is returning as Tommy Shelby in Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man. Get your best whiskey ready and iron your tweed jackets, because the Birmingham saga is coming to an end with an explosion that will be felt all the way to Hollywood.
My dears, I have bad news for all of you who think that security is about being hardworking, quiet, and going to work. Homer Simpson is dead. Not the yellow one from the cartoon, but the economic model that has been sold to us for 50 years. The model where you are average, you do an average job, you have an average salary, but you still afford a house, two cars, and a dog. This world has disappeared faster than the integrity of our politicians. And it's AI's fault.
