Sometimes, an inch makes all the difference. Fresh off the launch of the Predator Atlas 8, Acer is back with the Atlas 7, a similarly powerful handheld console with an inch lopped off for better grip.

An inch isn’t just an inch in this case. The smaller form factor is supposedly better for your grip, making it much more portable than its predecessor. In line with that, the grips are better molded for your hands. It has a larger palm rest area and an anti-slip texture.

Inside, you’ll find much of what made the Atlas 8 so powerful. The console can come with up to an Intel Arc G3 Extreme processor and up to an Intel Arc B390 GPU. These are paired with up to 24GB of memory and up to 1TB in storage.

For the nitty gritty on the display, the Atlas 7 has a 7-inch FHD screen with 120Hz refresh rate and 500 nits of brightness. It’s also protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus for additional handheld protection.

Rounding everything out, the Atlas 7 has Thunderbolt 4 ports, room for a microSD card, and support for Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4. Finally, you can get up to an 80Wh battery.

Though Acer unveiled the console at IFA 2026, you’ll have to wait a little longer to get your hands on it. The Acer Predator Atlas 7 will come out in the last quarter of 2026.

When you’re in the smartphone business, speed is often the key. The race now is for the fate of the wide foldable segment. Unfortunately for everyone else, Samsung already fired the first salvo last month. A week ago, Apple was scheduled to be the second one, at least. However, Xiaomi has beat them to the punch, announcing the Xiaomi 18 Fold ahead of the rumored iPhone Fold.

For a while now, it’s been rumored that Apple is going to launch its first foldable this year. Even better, the device might follow a passport-style form factor, a critically acclaimed design that found success with Samsung. Naturally, others want to follow suit, and Xiaomi did just that.

Today, Xiaomi has confirmed that the Xiaomi 18 Fold is launching on September 7, a few days before Apple’s own event. Plus, leaving fans with more than just a date, the brand also revealed what the phone will look like. Of course, it’s a wide foldable, and it looks amazing.

Xiaomi also teased that the Xiaomi 18 Fold will rock the new XRing O3 SoC, which features improvements across CPU, GPU, and NPU performance. It will also have a sizable 7.58-inch main display and a 5.38-inch secondary screen.

It won’t be long now. September 7 is just a few sleeps away. And, Apple is coming soon after.
