Getting my hands on the echorb was easily my most intriguing and impressive experience at CEATEC 2025. Part of that comes from what echorb is: a palm-sized, stone-like device that blurs the line between technology, art, and human sensation. Mixing art and technology has long been one of my favorite topics, and echorb sits squarely at that intersection. At first touch, echorb does not feel simple in a generic way. […]

At CEATEC 2025, Hitachi presented a connected vision for the future of industrial operations. Rather than showcasing isolated technologies, the company demonstrated how AI agents, metaverse-based digital twins, conversational machinery, and wearable sensing can work together to address a growing manufacturing challenge: maintaining efficiency, safety, and quality amid a shrinking and less experienced workforce. This challenge needs to be addressed particularly in Japan, where skilled technicians are retiring faster than […]

MAINGEAR unveiled a new ordering option that addresses one of the more frustrating realities of the current PC market: unpredictable memory availability and pricing. The company’s new BYO RAM builds let customers order a fully assembled desktop system without the need to buy DDR5 memory from MAINGEAR, allowing them to purchase their own compatible kit. Buyers can send an existing DDR5 kit to MAINGEAR or purchase one separately from a […]

For $299, Motorola’s new Moto G Power (2026) is making its debut in the budget smartphone space. Officially announced today, the latest Power model doubles down on what the series does best — long battery life, a big screen, and durability — while delivering three significant upgrades over last year’s version. Sadly, there is a trade-off: wireless charging is gone. Positioned above the standard Moto G (2026) launched earlier this […]

CEATEC 2025 featured the usual lineup of AI demos, service robots, and experimental interfaces. But inside Hall 4, a quieter, lab-style booth stood out for a very different reason. There, the RNA Co-creation Consortium demonstrated that RNA extracted from facial sebum can provide insights into the skin’s condition and support better day-to-day cosmetic choices. The booth’s theme, “RNA-Tech Driven Society – A new standard of living redefined by RNA-Tech,” reflected […]

At CEATEC 2025, Fujitsu expanded its ongoing exploration of what it officially calls its “AI technologies for human augmentation” with a new Golf Motion Analysis Experience, powered by the Kozuchi AI platform and developed in collaboration with Uvance partner AIGIA’s golf swing–analysis app.  This builds on last year’s showcase, where the company demonstrated how Kozuchi’s advanced skeleton recognition could analyze basketball shooting mechanics, yoga postures, and lifting movements in industrial […]

At CEATEC 2025, Sony showcased its latest personal thermo device, the REON POCKET PRO *, a high-end evolution of the REON lineup that began in Japan in 2020. Even though we could not touch the unit, the Sony representatives provided detailed explanations of what makes this new model substantially more capable than previous generations. Based on what I saw and what the Sony representatives explained, the REON POCKET PRO represents Sony’s […]

OnePlus is closing out the year with two devices aimed at tightening its North American lineup. The OnePlus 15R and the OnePlus Pad Go 2 will both be unveiled on December 17, bringing the company’s flagship design language into a more accessible segment—something the brand has been gradually refining with its R-series strategy. OnePlus 15R The 15R carries over the visual identity of the main OnePlus 15, including a flat […]

When you compare the OnePlus 15 and the OnePlus 13, you are looking at two consecutive flagship generations built on very different priorities. OnePlus did not simply iterate on the 13. Instead, the 15 introduces a new design language, a major shift in performance architecture, and a noticeable change in how the company approaches mobile photography. Some upgrades are substantial. Others move sideways. A few even step back. For anyone […]

OnePlus launched the OnePlus 15 in China on October 27, 2025. Today, November 13, the company introduces the global version. The global version mirrors the Chinese model in hardware, while running OxygenOS 16 based on Android 16 in place of the ColorOS firmware used in China. The new flagship brings Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, a 165 Hz LTPO AMOLED display, and a massive 7,300 mAh silicon-carbon battery, […]

At CEATEC 2025, NEC unveiled an excellent example of how generative AI can improve real-world safety. Its AI Driving Diagnosis system, demonstrated inside the company’s booth, turns ordinary dashcam footage into an intelligent conversation about how we drive—and how we could drive better.The concept might sound like another driver-monitoring gadget, but NEC’s approach is quite different. By combining its video recognition AI with a large language model (LLM), the system […]
