Xiaomi is primarily known for their value-for-money smartphones that sell like hotcakes during online flash sales. But like CEO Lei Jun said in an open letter recently, Xiaomi is more than a hardware company; they are an innovation-driven internet company.
Much to my excitement, the Chinese company started opening physical Mi stores all around Asia in recent years, selling not just smartphones, but also products ranging from smart home tech to toys to fashion items.
Fast forward to 2018, Xiaomi now has a whole ecosystem of products from startups and companies that they funded. In the last few months, I’ve acquired a few of them from trips abroad and the mall, so now it’s time to unbox and start using them.
Amazfit Pace, CNY 799 / PhP 6,200
Xiaomi produces its own fitness trackers but they look like, well, a fitness tracker that doesn’t look good on most people’s wrists. Amazfit Pace is also one of the smartwatches available at Mi stores, and arguably one of the better-looking ones. It has a heart rate sensor and GPS built in, modes for running, walking, biking, and more. It promises five days of battery life, and you can even sync your data through the Strava app.
The box comes with the watch, user guide and warranty information, a micro-USB cable (sigh), and a charging dock.
Functions are honestly quite limited for it to be a full-fledged smartwatch; there are no other apps available for download right now since it runs on its own OS. And, it still looks very much like a sports watch, so it’s not something I would wear everyday to work or to my brother’s wedding. But if I were to get really serious about tracking my activities and fitness goals, I’d still rather wear something that looks like a watch and not a hideous band of rubber.
THE Michael Josh puts AirTags in his bags, suitcases, keys, heck, even his TV remote.
They’ve saved him many times and keep anxiety at bay when it comes to delayed or missing baggage.
And just about last month, Apple announced a new model — the same size, shape, and price. But, it comes with a whole bunch of improvements that make it more findable.
So, should you rush out to get the new ones? In this review video, we test the range and sound of the all-new AirTag 2 in the real world.

New SIHOO Doro C300 ergonomic chair launches with deals on Amazon
Now available in the US, UK
The SIHOO Doro C300 ergonomic office chair has been unveiled in the United States and United Kingdom with deals on Amazon and the SIHOO website available.
The chair is available in Black and Gray for an introductory price of US$ 279.99 / £ 259.99 on the SIHOO website.
That’s a significant reduction from the regular retail pricing of US$ 559.99 / £ 339.99. In addition, customers can get the product from Amazon US or Amazon UK for US$ 279.99 / £ 279.99.
The Doro C300 is developed around SIHOO’s self-adaptive dynamic lumbar support system. It automatically tracks body movement and continuously aligns with the natural curve of the spine without manual adjustment.
It uses the brand’s BM Tracking System to respond instantly to twisting, leaning, and reclining. This ensures consistent lower back support and stability, regardless of posture or position.
The real-time adaptive support moves in sync with the user. This dynamic approach helps reduce pressure on the lower back and promotes proper spinal alignment in the process.
The chair also features a flexible and fully breathable mesh backrest, built around a triangular elastic support frame. It naturally conforms to the body and moves side to side.
Moreover, a smart weight-sensing mechanism with integrated spring system automatically adapts reclining resistance based on the user’s weight.
The Doro C300 can support 110°, 120°, and 130° recline angles. On the top part is a neck and head support with extra-large 3D mechanical headrest. This, too, adjusts precisely in multiple directions and locks securely in place.
Furthermore, 4D armrests with soft PU padding adjust in multiple directions and synchronize with the backrest as it reclines for consistency.
Onto its seat cushion, the Doro C300’s seat is engineered to distribute pressure evenly across thighs and hips.

Sony WF-1000XM6 is out now: Price, availability
The new model features better noise cancellation and a redesign.
Well, the rumors are true. After briefly showing up in a leak last month, the new Sony WF-1000XM6 is finally here. Sony is launching its latest wireless earbuds today, alongside the debut of a pink colorway option for last year’s WH-1000XM6.
But first, here’s the Sony WF-1000XM6.
Once again, Sony is improving on the lineup’s noise cancellation technology. The earbuds will pack a third-generation QN3e, the brand’s HD Noise Cancelling Processor. The processor can supposedly achieve a 25 percent better noise reduction, compared to the previous generation. Each earbud will also have four microphones to further bolster noise cancellation.
As the leaks hinted previously, the Sony WF-1000XM6 features a redesign for the popular wireless earbuds series. The earbuds themselves are now more pill-shaped and are returning to a matte texture. The brand says that the redesign will help with noise cancellation, comfort, and stability.
Meanwhile, the charging case switches over from a pill-shaped design to a sharper one.
Like its predecessors, the earbuds will boast studio quality design. Calling functionality, likewise, will get a boost, thanks to a bone conduction sensor, two microphones for AI beamforming, and AI-based noise cancellation to isolate voices from background noise.
The Sony WF-1000XM6 debuts today with two colorway options: Platinum Silver and Black. Both variants will sell for US$ 329.99.
If that’s not enough, the Sony WH-1000XM6, the lineup’s larger sibling, will debut a Sand Pink colorway option. The new model will carry the same price tag: US$ 459.99. However, interested buyers can enjoy an initial sale price of US$ 399.99 through February 15.
UPDATE: Singapore price and availability
The WF-1000XM6 in Black and Platinum Silver is available in Singapore from early March 2026 with a suggested retail pricing at SGD 479.
Buyers who pre-order will receive an exclusive blind box containing a specially curated set of Lanyard and Pouch (worth SGD79.90), upon successful product warranty registration from now to March 31, 2026, while stocks last.
Trade-in program when you pre-order the WF-1000XM6:
