Qualcomm's next flagship chip is like a Hollywood star with several stage names - Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 or Elite 2 - but when it hits the scene, you'll recognize it by its performance, not its business card. It's already surpassed 4 million points on the AnTuTu test, which is a new benchmark for mobile processors. If numbers bore you, let's put it this way: today's flagships barely breathe at 2.5 to 3 million.

The HoverAir Aqua is 100% waterproof, floats on water, takes off and lands from the sea surface, tracks a wearable transmitter on your wrist, and shoots up to 4K/100 fps.

Apple's MacBook Pro M5 is expected to move from late fall 2025 to early 2026. New manufacturing technologies are at play (perhaps even 2 nm), but the OLED display revolution is moving towards late 2026 and the M6 generation, according to several reports. Meanwhile, the M4 models are very serious "pro" tools: Thunderbolt 5 (on Pro/Max), 12-MP Center Stage camera, brighter XDR and Apple Intelligence. In this article, we break down what to realistically expect from the M5, when to buy it, and recommend specific configurations for students, creators, editors and developers.
Breville has just unveiled its new flagship, the Oracle Dual Boiler espresso machine, which combines the convenience of a super-automatic machine with the precision of a professional machine.

Deliveries are scheduled for November 2025 on Kickstarter.

With 1,800 W of power (6,100 BTU), it cools a room by 8 °C in 15 minutes, and in winter with 2,000 W of heating, it raises the temperature by 9 °C also in a quarter of an hour.

At $1,299/€1,399, it’s aimed at anyone who needs a quieter, lighter and (according to DJI) smarter alternative to existing solutions from EcoFlow, Bluetti, Anker and Jackery.
