Xiaomi has officially introduced the Redmi Pad 2 and Redmi Pad 2 4G, a pair of budget-friendly tablets designed to deliver a more refined entertainment experience without the flagship price tag. Aimed at casual users and media lovers, both models feature upgraded specs, immersive audio-visual features, and Xiaomi’s latest HyperOS 2 system for a smoother, more connected experience.
Large Display, Comfortable Viewing
At the heart of the Redmi Pad 2 Series is an 11-inch 2.5K display offering 274 pixels per inch and a 90Hz AdaptiveSync refresh rate for smoother scrolling and playback. The display supports DC dimming and comes with multiple TÜV Rheinland certifications, including Low Blue Light (Software Solution), Flicker Free, and Circadian Friendly, all helpful for long viewing sessions. Whether streaming a movie or doom-scrolling your social feed, this panel is built for comfort.
Audio is handled by a quad-speaker setup supporting Dolby Atmos and Hi-Res Audio, rounding out the entertainment focus with room-filling sound.
HyperOS 2 Bridges Phones and Tablets
Running on Xiaomi HyperOS 2, the tablets bring cross-device features usually reserved for the brand’s higher-end offerings. Call sync allows incoming smartphone calls to be picked up directly on the tablet. Network sync makes it easy to tap into your phone’s mobile hotspot without jumping through menu hoops. A shared clipboard enables copy-paste across devices, handy for students, creatives, and productivity-minded users juggling between screens.
Helio G100-Ultra Power and All-Day Battery
Performance comes courtesy of the MediaTek Helio G100-Ultra, with enough muscle for casual gaming, streaming, and multitasking. Powering all that is a 9000mAh battery that’s designed for all-day use. For users who need more than Wi-Fi, the Redmi Pad 2 4G adds dual SIM support with 4G LTE, making it a better pick for travelers, commuters, or anyone who wants tablet access untethered.
Both versions sport a metal unibody design that adds a premium touch without bumping up the cost.
Optional Accessories for Extra Utility
The Redmi Pad 2 Series is compatible with Xiaomi’s Redmi Smart Pen, featuring low-latency input, 60Hz refresh, and minimal activation force, making it a practical add-on for sketching, jotting down ideas, or signing documents. There’s also a Redmi Pad 2 Cover offering full-body protection and a built-in adjustable stand for hands-free media viewing.
Pricing and Availability
The Redmi Pad 2 is offered in Graphite Gray, Mint Green, and Lavender Purple, with configurations including 4GB+128GB, 6GB+128GB, and 8GB+256GB. Pricing starts at EUR 199.
The Redmi Pad 2 4G version comes in Graphite Gray and Mint Green with the same storage options, starting at EUR 249.
Mint Mobile is turning heads with its boldest offer to date: the Samsung Galaxy S25 bundled with two years of unlimited premium wireless for just $30 a month. The deal, available to new customers through July 31, runs on the nation’s largest 5G network and features Galaxy AI, making it one of the most aggressive mobile packages currently on the market.
For those keeping score, that’s a flagship Android phone and unlimited data, talk, and text, without the fine print-heavy contracts or inflated pricing that tend to come standard elsewhere.
A Messaging Upgrade for All
Beyond the budget-friendly pricing, Mint Mobile is rolling out support for Rich Communication Services (RCS) across all compatible phones on its network. This brings modern texting features like read receipts, typing indicators, high-resolution media sharing, and group chats with smarter syncing, no matter what operating system you’re using.
In practical terms, Mint customers no longer need to juggle third-party messaging apps or explain why a group chat broke down after someone joined with a different device. RCS evens the playing field.
A Deal Even Ryan Reynolds Couldn’t Believe
Mint’s latest push isn’t just about flashy savings. According to Andrew Fried, the company’s Chief Marketing Officer, the deal originally sounded too good to be true, even internally.
“Unlimited data and the incredible Samsung Galaxy S25 for just $30/month seemed impossible, but here we are,” said Fried. “And now, because of RCS, you can fully embrace those green text bubbles in the group chat.”
The campaign is backed, unsurprisingly, by Mint’s co-owner and perpetual pitchman Ryan Reynolds, who continues to bring cheeky flair to the company’s marketing playbook.
The Fine Print That’s Actually Pretty Fine
This $30/month package covers:
The Samsung Galaxy S25 with Galaxy AI
Two full years of unlimited premium wireless
RCS support for enhanced messaging
Free mobile hotspot usage
Free Wi-Fi calling
Free roaming in Canada
New customers have until July 31 to take advantage of the offer. More details can be found on Mint Mobile’s official website.
AWOL Vision and Valerion recently joined forces, and now they’re kicking off their partnership with a pair of major sales events aimed at home entertainment fans. From June 11 through June 30, the newly aligned brands are hosting “AWOL Vision Day” and “Valerion Day,” featuring deep discounts across a range of 4K projectors, cinematic screens, and premium bundles. With savings up to $4,999, this event rivals even the most aggressive Prime Day promotions.
Big Screens, Bigger Savings
Known for their ultra short-throw and long-throw laser projectors, AWOL Vision specializes in high-end home theater setups without the usual high-end price tags, especially during this event. The AWOL Vision Day Sale offers deals both on its website and via Amazon, with bundles slashing prices by nearly half.
Whether you’re turning a spare room into a home cinema or upgrading your living room setup, these options offer premium specs at far more approachable prices.
Valerion Adds Its Own Twist with Bonus Bundles

GameSir has officially introduced the T7 Pro Floral Wired Controller, a new entry in its controller lineup that brings a splash of color, and a stack of performance features, to Xbox and PC gamers. Now available for $49.99/£49.99 via Best Buy and the GameSir website, the T7 Pro Floral is designed to catch the eye and keep the gameplay sharp.
Sophisticated Style Meets Serious Specs
The most obvious update here is aesthetic: a floral-patterned matte shell paired with a semi-transparent finish and dynamic RGB lighting. It’s the kind of controller that looks just as at home in a curated setup as it does in the heat of battle. But underneath that glow is a full-featured wired controller built for responsive, accurate play.
Compatibility spans Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows 10/11, and Steam, ensuring it fits seamlessly into just about any gamer’s routine.
Hall Effect Tech and Haptic Nuance
Inside, the T7 Pro Floral features GameSir’s Anti-Drift Hall Effect sticks, which use non-contact magnetic sensors to reduce wear and boost accuracy, rated to last up to 5 million cycles. The controller also includes Hall Effect analog triggers with 2-stage trigger stops, giving players the flexibility to choose between gradual pressure control or fast, responsive actuation.
To deepen immersion, GameSir includes four vibration motors, two in the grips and two in the triggers. The asymmetric motor layout helps deliver more realistic feedback whether you’re landing a hit or dodging debris.
Customization and Comfort
Two remappable back buttons give players extra options for quick-access inputs, and the laser-engraved textured grips are designed to keep things secure during longer play sessions. A 3.5mm headphone jack is on board for plug-and-play audio and voice chat, and those who like to fine-tune their gear can take advantage of the GameSir Nexus software for deeper customization. Users can adjust button mapping, stick and trigger sensitivity, and vibration settings to fit their preferences.
Pricing and Availability
The GameSir T7 Pro Floral Wired Controller is priced at $49.99/£49.99 and available now through Best Buy and GameSir’s official website. It offers a unique blend of style, comfort, and competitive-grade control that should appeal to gamers who like their peripherals with a little extra flair.

The OnePlus Pad 3 has arrived, poised to redefine expectations for Android tablets with its flagship power and impressive versatility, solidifying its potential as a true laptop replacement.
At the heart of the Pad 3 is the cutting-edge Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, making it the first tablet outside of China to launch with this powerful processor. This raw processing power is perfectly complemented by a stunning 13.2-inch LCD display, which boasts a sharp 3.4K resolution and an ultra-smooth 144Hz refresh rate, ensuring an immersive and fluid visual experience. Despite its expansive screen, the OnePlus Pad 3 maintains an impressively thin profile at just 5.97mm, a design feat that makes it thinner than the latest iPad Air. This elegant engineering means you get a large, powerful display without sacrificing portability, offering the ideal balance for both work and entertainment.
OnePlus has truly leaned into its software to enhance productivity and user experience, particularly with its popular multitasking capabilities. The Pad 3 features streamlined split-screening and smoother drag-and-drop functionalities, making it effortless to manage multiple applications simultaneously. For those within the OnePlus ecosystem, the synergy is even more profound: enjoy direct file-sharing, smarter notification syncing, and intelligent data sharing that allows the tablet to efficiently piggyback on your phone’s connection, theoretically saving your phone’s battery life.
Furthermore, the inclusion of O Plus Connect software enables easy wireless file transfers between the tablet and both Mac or Windows PCs. Notably, Mac owners gain the exclusive benefit of direct remote control of their Mac from the Pad 3, a feature that truly elevates its status as a capable laptop alternative. The tablet runs on Android 15 with OxygenOS, and OnePlus has committed to providing three generations of OS updates and six years of security support, ensuring longevity and ongoing security.
Under the hood, the Pad 3 is equipped to handle demanding tasks, offering 256GB or 512GB of storage and 12GB of RAM. It’s powered by a sizable 12,140mAh battery, which can be fully charged in just over an hour and a half thanks to 80W wired charging. For an immersive audio experience, the device features eight speakers. The tablet also includes a 13MP front-facing camera and an 8MP rear-facing camera. However, it lacks secure biometrics, relying only on camera-based face unlock which is not suitable for secure apps.
Pricing and Availability: The OnePlus Pad 3 is available for pre-order now in the US, with the 12GB RAM/256GB storage model priced at $699.99. For those looking to maximize their productivity, the Smart Keyboard is available for $199.99, and the OnePlus Stylo 2 for $99.99. A Folio Case is also available for $49.99.
Pre-order Dates and Deals (US/Canada via OnePlus.com):

As a longtime Garmin user, it’s hard for me to feel impressed with another connected watch alternative. That changed a bit recently when Garmin announced it would start a premium software tier atop the already premium cost of entry with the company’s devices. This has created a flux of users looking for other fitness watches.
One of the most popular offerings is from a Finnish company named Suunto. I’d personally never heard of them, but the new Race S smartwatch had my interest piqued. Turns out they’ve been around for almost 100 years. Think Garmin, but in Finland.
I’ve been testing the Race S for over a month and compared it to the US gold standard.
Design
The Suunto Race S design is where the Suunto shines. The entire casing is built from cast aluminum and lends to a very premium feel on the wrist. I miss the days that the Garmins in this price range had similar materials. The metal construction gives the Race S a tick above in quality of most other $350 smartwatches.
The main portion of the watch is the 1.32-inch AMOLED display. This touchscreen gives the Race S a crisp and bright main interaction point. I found the screen to be very easy to see in all environments, and touch feedback was quick and responsive.
While you can navigate mostly using the touchscreen, there’s also three mechanical inputs on the right side of the Suunto Race S. The top and bottom are buttons that can be pressed in certain menu items. The middle crown is similar to the dial on a traditional watch and functions as a scroll wheel in the interface and selections can be made by pressing it down.
Other hardware includes the normal fitness features you’d expect. You have an optical heart rate sensor, GPS, and accelerometer for tracking various movements and biometrics. The Suunto Race S is a well-rounded fitness smartwatch out of the box.
Daily Use and a Few Bumps
Overall, the Suunto Race S checks all the boxes you’d want from a fitness device. I’ve found the watch comfortable to wear doing any task from daily activities to intense HIIT workouts. The included straps are also one of my favorite designs I’ve seen on a sports band. The traditional clasp paired with a push tab to hold the extra portion of the strap down is well done.
The same is true for the smartwatch functions. Notifications mirroring worked as expected during my testing, and you can triage apps with push notifications to the watch in the Suunto companion app. Music controls are also here, but no onboard music playback like Garmin. I found the smart options and interface intuitive and easy to navigate using either the touchscreen or the crown dial with the ancillary buttons.
Tracking of my workouts and daily biometrics has been… OK. For general tasks and even the workouts, the Suunto Race S did a good job of tallying the normal feedback of burned calories, heart rate, and even forms of intensity in the app. The app also has a pretty modern design, and it’s up to the beholder, but I’ve seen many feel it’s superior to Garmin’s in design.
The Resources sections does a decent scale of how your body should feel versus your recent activities. This metric takes in sleep and other meditations to increase the score, while a long run or sweaty workout will make it drop. It’s very akin to the Garmin Body Battery, but I found it didn’t do quite as good of a job taking in the metrics, either good or bad. It always seemed to hover around a score of 60-70, regardless of what I’d put my body through that day.
My other two gripes are the perimeter for step counting and the resting heart rate readings I’ve seen in my time testing the Suunto Race S. Let’s start with steps. I’ve consistently seen this calculation underscore any other device I’ve used. It tallies roughly ¾ of the actual steps I take in comparison to the Apple Watch, Garmin Forerunner, and my older Fitbit Sense.
This one is a bit subjective. I’ve always said find a device you like and let the baseline it creates be your baseline as well. However, the step counts were so far off that I noticed it based off my historical usage from other trackers. The average person walking a mile should accumulate around 2400–2600 steps, and the Race S consistently hit around 1800 in this same trek.
As I said, if you’ve never used anything else, this one is negligible. The one that concerned me or would concern you with its readout is the resting HR that would spike pretty much hourly to 130 beats per minute while sitting down at my workstation. Reading from a wrist monitor and my Garmin both showed I was well within the normal range of 60 BPM, but for some reason, only while sitting the Race S would spike on a regular basis.
Again, baselines are a point of perspective, but anyone with a general knowledge of heart or pulse could easily be spooked. Double your normal HR baseline is enough for concern to seek medical treatment for most people. Suunto has a history of regular updates from user feedback, and I hope they take a look at both the perimeter and the troubling heart rate detection.
With a premium aluminum build that feels exceptional on the wrist and a battery that impressively lasts up to 10 days, the Suunto Race S delivers a stylish and long-lasting experience. For those seeking a robust fitness smartwatch with a responsive interface, this Finnish contender offers a compelling alternative to established players.
Battery Life
One exceptional quality of the Suunto Race S that meets my Garmin standard is battery life. The watch allows for up to 10 days of battery, depending on the amount of time you choose to use the backlight. I had it set to only come on when motioning my wrist, and I had the Race S easily last a week per charge.
Charging is done via a round POGO pin adapter. It’s powered by USB-A. I’d love to see more manufacturers mimic the new adapters from OnePlus and Pebble with USB-C powered chargers without the cable being built in. This allows for you to at least carry the adapter and not have to worry about the cable being the main point of failure or forgotten part of the setup while traveling. From dead to one hundred percent takes around 40 minutes, so the once a week anchoring to a cable is minimal.
Final Thoughts
Awarded to products with an average rating of 3.75 stars or higher, the AndroidGuys Smart Pick recognizes a balance of quality, performance, and value.
Products with this distinction deserve to be on your short list of purchase candidates.
Suunto has a ton to like here with the Race S fitness smartwatch. The superb build, quick interface, and overall good activity tracking, the watch is a great alternative to many on the market. At $350, it’s a worthy competitor to the aging Fitbit lineup and Wear OS devices. It’s worth it for the battery life and better workout tracking alone over Wear in my opinion.
If you are coming from Garmin, I think you have to be willing to compromise on the mentioned shortcomings. There’s some polish in some of the software and algorithms to meet the gold standard. Even with that, the Suunto Race S is a fantastic option for someone looking to have a stylish smartwatch capable of also increasing their activity and health tracking.
You can purchase the stainless steel variant in our review in 7 colors from Suunto’s website. If you are looking for a step-up in durability, you can also snag the titanium edition in graphite or canary.

In an era where extreme weather events increasingly lead to unpredictable power outages, securing reliable home backup power has become a top priority for households worldwide. Anker SOLIX, a recognized leader in power solutions, has stepped up to this challenge with the launch of its new Anker SOLIX F3000 Portable Power Station. Designed to keep essential appliances running seamlessly, the F3000 offers a new standard in energy preparedness, blending robust capacity with groundbreaking features that address the real-world needs of homeowners.
A Hybrid Backup System That Doesn’t Compromise
One of the most remarkable innovations of the Anker SOLIX F3000 is its advanced generator integration and pass-through compatibility. This isn’t just about connecting a power station to a generator; it’s about creating a truly seamless hybrid backup system. Users can effortlessly link the F3000 to a gas generator via accessories, enabling simultaneous charging and discharging at a formidable, 3600W output. This capability ensures that you can continue powering your home’s most critical appliances even as the F3000 itself recharges. This unique “Zero Compromise” feature means there’s no interruption to your power supply, maximizing efficiency and ensuring continuous preparedness. Imagine being able to recharge the F3000 quietly with a gas generator during the day, then switch to emissions-free, quiet power at night – all without missing a beat.
Doubling Down on Efficiency with Sleep Mode
Power waste, especially from idle devices, is a common concern during outages. The F3000 directly tackles this with its innovative new Sleep Mode. This intelligent feature drastically reduces idle energy consumption to an ultra-low 24.4W for appliances under 200W, such as fans or computers. The result? Double the backup time compared to conventional portable power stations, ensuring that every precious watt is utilized effectively. Internal lab testing has demonstrated the F3000’s ability to maintain idle standby for an impressive 125 hours, and for typical low-wattage appliances like a refrigerator, it can extend standby time up to 42 hours. This focus on efficiency provides crucial extended runtime when you need it most.
Powering Heavy Demands and Scaling for Long Outages
Beyond its smart power management, the F3000 delivers substantial output for demanding needs. With its 3600W (120V) AC output, it can effortlessly power high-wattage appliances, from refrigerators and medical devices to essential power tools. For situations requiring even more power, such as running an air conditioner or water pump, two F3000 units can be combined using the Anker SOLIX Double Voltage Hub (sold separately) to achieve an astounding 240V/7200W output.
Preparing for emergencies also means rapid replenishment, and the F3000 shines here too with ultra-fast AC recharging, reaching a full charge in just 1 hour and 18 minutes. It’s also solar ready, supporting dual solar inputs for efficient 2400W solar recharging, offering a sustainable way to reduce reliance on the grid. The F3000’s expandable capacity further enhances its appeal; starting at 3072Wh, it can be scaled up to an incredible, 12288Wh by adding three external battery packs. This means a single unit can provide up to half a day of backup for essential appliances, while the maximum configuration can extend coverage to a remarkable four days, ideal for prolonged disruptions.
Availability
The Anker SOLIX F3000 Portable Power Station is available for sign-up today, June 4, 2025, at ankersolix.com, offering an exclusive discount for early customers. Retail sales are set to commence on June 25, 2025, via both Amazon and ankersolix.com. Prepare your home for any eventuality with the F3000 – a true step forward in home backup power.
