OPPO Find N2

The OPPO Find N2 bagged the prestigious “Best Smartphone in Asia” accolade at the 2023 Asia Mobile Awards in MWC Shanghai.

The brand’s flagship foldable was recognized mainly for its outstanding performance and innovative user experience. It bested the HONOR Magic 5 Pro, which was cited as “Highly Commended.”

As OPPO’s second-generation flagship foldable, the Find N2 has a Flexion Hinge, and an industry-first aerospace-grade carbon fiber screen support frame.

Both the lightweight device’s foldable and cover screens are AMOLED 120Hz displays, with the 7.1-inch unfolded one having HDR10+ support and a peak brightness of 1,200 nits.

The Find N2 winning the award is pretty much merited; in Q1 2023, the phone had the highest market share among foldables in China at 35.0%, according to data from IDC.

The distinction is also the latest add-on to OPPO’s impressive résumé, having been named to the 10 most Innovative Asia-Pacific Companies and having won 15 awards at the iF International Forum Design.

Insomniac Games has shared more details about Marvel’s Wolverine, highlighting Logan’s combat abilities, progression systems, exploration features, customization options, and accessibility settings.

The developer shared the details alongside a new Features Trailer ahead of the game’s September 15 release on PlayStation 5.

Wolverine fights with momentum

Marvel’s Wolverine puts aggressive combat at the center of its gameplay.

Logan can attack enemies with his claws, kicks, barrages, and critical strikes. Players can also unlock Techniques to enhance his combat moves.

Special Techniques add more options during fights. Players can equip up to four at a time, including moves such as Tornado Spin, Knee Breaker, and Spiral Strike.

Logan can further customize his combat style through Adaptations. These can improve his ability to absorb bullets, increase the effectiveness of Rage, expand parry windows, and provide other combat advantages.

His Rage system has three tiers. It focuses on survivability, resilience, and fury. Players can use it to survive dangerous encounters or unleash more brutal attacks.

Logan travels around the world

The game features an original story that takes Logan across different locations.

He and Jean Grey will work alongside members of Team X to stop Bolivar Trask and his plans against mutantkind. Logan will also face enemies such as Omega Red and Deathstrike.

Exploration will offer activities outside the main story. Players can discover Nightmare Doors with combat and traversal challenges. They can also find whisky bottles that reveal more about Logan’s forgotten memories.

Material crates can unlock suits inspired by Wolverine’s appearances across comics, movies, and animation.

Suits and claws add customization

Players can unlock a variety of Wolverine suits, including versions inspired by Weapon X, Old Man Logan, Ultimate Wolverine, and Patch.

The game also features more casual looks, including a tank top and leather jacket. Players can toggle some cowls and hats on or off.

HUAWEI Pura X Max overtakes the iPhone Fold as 2026’s first wide foldable

Also goes ahead of Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Z Wide Fold

Months ahead of the much-awaited foldable from Apple, HUAWEI has decided to get in the way of the Cupertino-based company by announcing the world’s first wide foldable.

The HUAWEI Pura X Max is the earliest and biggest clapback to Apple’s upcoming iPhone Fold and Samsung’s rumored “Galaxy Z Wide Fold.”

World’s first wide foldable

HUAWEI’s Pura X Max isn’t a direct successor to last year’s Pura X.

Last year’s offering only had a measly 3.5-inch cover screen. This time, it has a full 5.4-inch wide display outside. Unfolding it reveals a 7.7-inch foldable display instead of Pura X’s smartphone-like 6.3 incher.

Both are LTPO 2.0 OLED displays with an adaptive 1~120Hz refresh rate. They are not compromised with support for 1.07 Billion Colors as well as DCI-P3 Wide Color Gamut.

This new form factor solves the biggest issue seen among standard foldables — especially when consuming content or playing games.

Stylus support is also expected with HUAWEI’s M-Pen 3 Mini stylus — best for jotting down, scribbling, doodling, drawing, or even just for navigation.

Supporting this foldable screen is HUAWEI’s so-called “basalt water droplet hinge” with core components made of steel.

As for the cover glass, it uses second gen Kunlun glass. And while we’re already at it, the Pura X Max supports IP58 and IP59 ratings for durability.

Maxed out fold

What runs this wide foldable is HUAWEI’s very own Kirin 9030 Pro chipset. The super brand promises up to 30% performance improvements.

Gaming should not be compromised thanks to its extra large VC Graphene Heat Dissipation System. Battery capacity is rated at 5300mAh with 66W wired and 50W wireless SuperCharge speeds.

HUAWEI’s latest HarmonyOS 6.1 not only brings in that translucent trend, they have also adapted to the user’s needs through Immersion Layout.

When used, the app’s controls automatically adjusts if you are left- or right-handed — no matter how you hold them.

Much like most smartphones, HarmonyOS also relies on its AI tools to make things easier.

Last but definitely not the least, it’s camera system.

The HUAWEI Pura X Max boasts a 50MP main (wide) camera with a variable aperture of f/1.4 ~ f.4.0 — much like last year’s Pura 80 Ultra and the latest Pura 90 Pro Max.

It also has another 50MP f/2.2 3.5x periscope telephoto camera that can also take optical-quality 7x shots and as far as 100x digital zoom.

Lastly, the ultra-wide camera is capped at 12.5MP with an aperture of f/2.2. All these cameras are based from HUAWEI’s RYYB image sensor.

Additionally, there’s a spectral sensor called “Red Maple camera” in its second iteration.

Selfie cameras inside and out are 8MP f/2.4.

Pricing and Availability

HUAWEI’s Pura X Max will be available in five colorways: Olive Gold, Phantom Night Black, Starblue, Vibrant Orange, and Zero Degree White.

Pricing does not come cheap. The HUAWEI Pura X Max are divided into two editions with four configurations in total:

Regular Edition

  • 12+256GB = CNY 10,999 (US$ 1615 / EUR 1370 / GBP 1190 / SG$ 2050 / MYR 6370 / PhP 96,850 / INR 149,650)
  • 12+512GB = CNY 11,999 (US$ 1760 / EUR 1490 / GBP 1300 / SG$ 2240 / MYR 6950 / PhP 105,650 / INR 163,260)

Collector’s Edition

  • 16+512GB = CNY 12,999 (US$ 1905 / EUR 1615 / GBP 1410 / SG$ 2425 / MYR 7530 / PhP 114,460 / INR 176,860)
  • 16+1TB = CNY 13,999 (US$ 2050 / EUR 1740 / GBP 1520 / SG$ 2610 / MYR 8110 / PhP 123,260 / INR 190,465)

* These are only rough price conversion estimates

Collector’s Edition supports China’s Beidou Satellite Services that the Regular Edition models don’t have.

It’s currently open for pre-orders in their home turf while global availability remains bleak. ICYMI, Last year’s Pura X was not released outside China.

Jabra Evolve3 75

Jabra has unveiled the new Evolve3 Series.

It’s a lineup of professional headsets designed for hybrid work. The goal is clear. Blend the clean look of consumer headphones with the reliability of office gear.

The series targets a growing need. People now move between home, office, and cafés. They want something that performs well and looks the part.

Two models, two work styles

The lineup includes two models.

The Evolve3 85 is an over-ear headset built for immersion. It focuses on noise isolation and deep focus.

The Evolve3 75 takes a different approach. It’s a lightweight on-ear option designed for mobility and awareness. You can stay connected to your surroundings while working.

Both models drop the traditional boom mic. Instead, they use a clean, microphone-free design that fits both social and professional settings.

AI-powered voice and sound

At the core of the Evolve3 Series is Jabra ClearVoice.

It’s an AI-powered voice isolation system trained on over 60 million real-world sentences. It filters out background noise and keeps your voice clear, even in busy environments.

Jabra claims up to 96% voice isolation accuracy.

Noise control goes further with Jabra Advanced ANC. It adapts to your fit and surroundings in real time, blocking distractions during calls or while listening to music.

There’s also Enhanced Spatial Sound. It helps reduce listener fatigue during long meetings.

Built for an AI-driven workflow

The Evolve3 Series is designed with AI use in mind.

It supports high-quality voice pickup for better interaction with AI assistants. You can manage tasks, summarize meetings, and send messages hands-free.

Jabra also focuses on longevity. The headsets use replaceable batteries and durable, foldable designs to extend their lifespan.

Enterprise-ready, everyday flexible

For businesses, the series works with the Jabra Plus platform. IT teams can manage devices, push updates, and monitor usage remotely.

It’s also UC-certified and supports Google Fast Pair. Setup is quick across major collaboration platforms.

Battery life reaches up to 25 hours of talk time. A quick 10-minute charge gives up to 10 hours of use.

The idea is simple. One headset that works across work and life, without compromise.
