written by Rachel Kim – Technology Editor

Sony has unveiled the Flexstrike, an arcade-style control surface designed for the playstation 5. The device features a joystick, eight durable buttons with mechanical switches, and a touchpad. It connects wirelessly with ultra-low latency via a USB PlayStation Link adapter, and also offers a USB-C wired connection. A protective cover is included.

The PlayStation 5 console can support two Flexstrike controllers simultaneously using a single PlayStation Link adapter. Alternatively, a Flexstrike can be paired with a compatible audio device, such as the Pulse Elite or Pulse Explore wireless headphones, using the same adapter. The Flexstrike can also be used in conjunction with a standard DualSense controller for menu navigation and other functions.

The base of the Flexstrike is equipped with a non-slip rubber mat. Removing this mat reveals interchangeable restrictor gates, which alter the joystick’s range of motion. Three gate options-circular, square, and octagonal-are provided and can be stored in dedicated slots on the base. A separate slot on the base is available for storing the link adapter.

The announcement of the Flexstrike coincides with the presentation of Sony’s Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls game, also slated for release next year. The Flexstrike is anticipated to be an ideal controller for fighting games such as Street Fighter 6,Tekken 8,and Mortal Kombat 1.

Details regarding the price and a more precise release date beyond “at some point in 2026” have not yet been disclosed.

Huawei Gears Up for Mate XT 2 Foldable Launch Amidst Samsung Rivalry

Next-Gen Tri-Folding Device Hints at Satellite Connectivity and Advanced Camera Tech

As Samsung prepares to release its Galaxy Z Fold7, industry insider Digital Chat Station has provided new details on Huawei’s upcoming foldable, the Mate XT 2. The device, reportedly on its way to market, is poised to be a successor to Huawei’s second-generation tri-folding smartphone.

Tenaa Certification Signals Imminent Release

The purported Mate XT 2 has reportedly achieved Tenaa certification in China, a key regulatory step before a device can be sold. The model number GRL-AL20 has been submitted for approval, following the GRL-Al10 associated with the current Mate XT model. This suggests Huawei is on track to unveil its new foldable before the year concludes.

Kirin 9020 Powers Next-Generation Foldable

Speculation indicates the Mate XT 2 will feature the Kirin 9020 chipset, a processor already found in Huawei’s Mate 70, Pura X, and Pura 80 Ultra. Furthermore, the device is expected to support 5G connectivity and operate on HarmonyOS, consistent with recent Huawei releases in China.

Enhanced Features on the Horizon

Beyond the processor, the Mate XT 2 is anticipated to boast satellite connectivity, a feature increasingly appearing in high-end smartphones. A new 50-megapixel main camera with variable aperture is also rumored, alongside an upgraded periscope camera system. The primary question remains whether Huawei will make this advanced foldable available outside of China.

The foldable phone market is expanding rapidly; by 2023, sales of foldable smartphones had already reached 7.1 million units globally, demonstrating a significant year-over-year increase from 2022, according to Counterpoint Research.

XGIMI MOGO 4 in the test: Clone of the Samsung Freestyle beats original

by Rachel Kim – Technology Editor
written by Rachel Kim – Technology Editor

Ein mobiler Beamer mit Akku für jeden Einsatzort? Da ist der Samsung Freestyle no longer unchallenged. The Chinese Xgimi Mogo 4 copies the agile headlight design class and delivers a lot of extras: whether chic ambilight function, mini remote control for on the go or magnetic alternating lens-XGIMI has not been able to be ragged with the equipment. Accordingly, the laser projector Mogo 4 does not argue with a bargain price, but confidently gets into the market with 800 euros. The test shows whether there is real cinema experience for this stick.
Bei der Verarbeitung bleibt Xgimi dem Anspruch treu, keine Billigalternative zu Samsung zu sein, sondern ein Konkurrent auf Augenhöhe. Der kleine Projektor liegt recht schwer in der Hand und fühlt sich wertvoll an. Apple hat das Erfolgsrezept von Minimalismus und Wertigkeit längst vorgelegt, Xgimi ahmt es fast tadellos nach: Schnörkelloses Design, stabiles Material und keine fummeligen Kleinteile – der MoGo 4 ist eine schlichte silberne Alu-Röhre, die aus der Verpackung heraus sofort einsetzbar ist. Während der MoGo 2 Even as a small block, Xgimi has been setting since then MoGo 3 In addition to more flexibility, on a more flexible concept with swivel joint – unfortunately, also creates a weak point: the projector can now break the leg because of the slim stand. The rotating design ensures that the connections can now be found on the side instead of the back.

Fire TV statt Google TV: Am HDMI-Anschluss des MoGo 4 ermöglicht Xgimi auch die Nutzung eines Streaming-Sticks.

Anschlüsse: Nur die wichtigsten

Table of Contents

Wie bei mobilen Beamern üblich, ist die Anzahl der Anschlüsse beim MoGo 4 auf das Notwendigste reduziert. Zu finden sind am Xgimi-Projektor folgende Anschlussmöglichkeiten:

  • USB-C: Serves as a connection for the charging cable of the XGIMI Mogo 4 (with PD 3.0)
  • HDMI: Connection for Blu-ray players, game consoles, PC or receiver
  • USB-A: Connection for hard drives, data sticks or adapter for Ethernet cables

Interessant: The operation of a Fire TV Stick possible-however, this is not necessary for streaming or TV reception on the projector.

Betriebssystem: Smart mit Google TV

Der Xgimi MoGo 4 ist auch ohne Anschluss externer Medien einsatzfähig – denn mit Google TV Is a smart streaming platform including Netflix and TV-Angebot Prepared on the projector. Setup and operation then work as easily as with any smart TV with Google user interface-only in addition to the illuminated remote control, XGIMI also included a compact mini-remote with a clip for the backpack. The Mogo 4 fits three times in one, with loose enough space for a seat ceiling and a thermos bottle. So cables do not have to go into the luggage when it goes out to the outdoor cinema. But how well does that work in practice?

Sieht schräg aus: Die automatische Keystone-Korrektur zieht das Bild des Xgimi MoGo 4 auch bei ungünstigem Projektionswinkel gerade. Dadurch leidet aber manchmal die Bildqualität.

Handhabung: Outdoor ja, Action nein

Ein Beamer ohne festen Einsatzort hat so einige Probleme zu bewältigen: wechselnde Lichtverhältnisse, unklare Batterielaufzeit, unfavorable stand and projection surfaces- to name just the most important. The good news: the Mogo 4 masters all of these challenges properly. With the flexible base, the projection is in Full HD From the most impossible angles in it, since the small projector cylinder can turn freely like a search light. What is certain is that the XGIMI projector is fairly firm despite handstand rollover-as long as the surface is not uneven or sloping. If the projector tips around on pebbles, the best automatic image correction is mercilessly overwhelmed. The Mogo 4 is not an indestructible action projector, because the chic projector takes damage quite quickly with careless handling despite solid construction. If the laser projector is not shaken, he immediately finds the projection surface on its own, the picture automatically pulls and puts it sharp.

Xgimi Mogo 4 bei Licht

Keine große Leuchte: Gerade im Akku-Betrieb reicht es beim Xgimi MoGo 4 nicht für gute Bilder in heller Umgebung.

Ein Beamer in sehr kompaktem Format mit Akku an Bord – wie viel Platz bleibt in dem schicken Xgimi-Zylinder noch für den eigentlichen Laserprojektor? Kurz: genug, um bei Dunkelheit ein helles und scharfes Bild mit satten Farben zu zaubern. Schwieriger wird es in helleren Umgebungen ohne Stromanschluss, weil der Projektor sehr sparsam mit seinem Akku wirtschaftet. Das Bild wird sofort deutlich dunkler und die Farben verblassen, sobald man das Netzteil zieht. Wer den Stromsparmodus überlistet und im Batteriebetrieb volle Leistung aus der silbernen Lichtröhre quetscht, sieht dann bei einem Langfilm von zwei Stunden das Ende nicht mehr. Ist ein Leistungsmonster Asked, mobile projectors with a built -in battery are generally not up for debate. For significantly more luminosity, the handy format and operation without a socket are mandatory. The same applies to the tone – although the Mogo 4 from a confined space produces surprisingly large indoor sound. Xgimi has been looking for prominent support for this feat.

Moderne trifft Klassik: Neben dem klassischen Beamer-Modell von Acer sieht der Xgimi Mogo 4 richtig klein aus. Stationäre Beamer haben dafür mehr Leistungskraft an Bord.

Ton: Raumklang von Harman Kardon

Für einen guten Ton pflegen chinesische Hersteller längst internationale Beziehungen: Xgimi demonstriert zusammen mit den New Yorker Sound-Spezialisten von Harman Kardon gelungenes Teamwork. Wo angesichts des kompakten Formats des Beamers eigentlich Platzangst herrscht, entfaltete sich im Praxistest ein respektabler Klang. Wer ein flaches, blechernes Plärren wie aus einer billigen Bluetooth-Box erwartet, erlebt sein blaues Wunder: In Filmen sind nicht nur Dialoge angenehm klar, atmosphärischer Sound und Effekte werden erstaunlich raumfüllend abgegeben. Für den Raumklang-Effekt braucht es dann aber auch einen Raum. Beim Outdoorkino sind Abstriche beim Ton vorprogrammiert, denn die insgesamt 12 Watt Leistung der zwei kleinen Lautsprecher verhallen draußen schnell. Einen tiefen Bass stemmt der kleine Beamer sowieso nicht: Als Partylautsprecher taugt der MoGo 4 trotz reinen Musikwiedergabe-Modus also weniger. Sie brauchen Bass? Via Bluetooth, the connection to a mobile loudspeaker with woofers works quickly if it is supposed to thunder properly on the clearing. At home this also works with a soundbar.

HDR-Bild des XGIMI Mogo 4

Da macht man Augen: Tiefen Kontrast, frische Farben und scharfe Konturen liefert der Xgimi MoGo 4 als wahres Chamäleon unter den mobilen Beamern im Dunkeln – bei Licht wechselt der Projektor dann seine Farben, und zwar ins Blasse.

Bildoptimierung: HDR mit Einschränkung

Der Xgimi MoGo 4 hat neben der automatischen Korrektur von Bildausrichtung und Schärfe noch mehr Tricks für ein besseres Bild im Gepäck: Mit einer Bewegungsglättung (Motion Smoothing) werden Filme mit Zwischenbildern von 30 auf 60 Bilder pro Sekunde aufgestockt – somit wirken Bewegungen nicht mehr ruckelig. Bei einer maximalen Auflösung in Full HD und ohne KI-gestützte Hochrechnung auf UHD (4K) wirkt das Bild bei großen Projektionen aber eher aufgeweicht. Die präzise gezeichneten Strukturen, Farbverläufe und dynamischen Kontrastverschiebungen hoher HDR-Standards wie Dolby Vision Or HDR10+ are not on board at all. For their würdige Darstellung The Mogo 4 lacks breath anyway. The small projector in the HDR area provides a pleasantly good picture under ideal conditions: on the power supply, in complete darkness and on an undisturbed projection surface with an image of moderate size. Under realistic conditions with battery on the indolence and the residual light, image sharpness, colors and contrasts are significantly weaker. Measured values ​​of luminosity, contrast and color space cover are generally convincing in the laboratory test – in the application, a completely different picture is then shown depending on the scenario. However, this is still simply impressive because it just comes from a mobile compact beamer. Nobody demands the performance of diesel heating to a hand warmer for the jacket pocket.

Xgimi MoGo 4 vs. Samsung Freestyle: Wer kann es besser?

Einziger Wermutstropfen vorweg: Der Hellste ist der MoGo 4 von Xgimi auch in der getesteten Laser-Variante für 800 Euro bei Weitem nicht. In der Königsdisziplin Leuchtktraft überragt der ambitionierte Chinaklon des Samsung Freestyle das Original trotzdem um eine Nasenlänge. Das Gesamtpaket aus China stellt sein Vorbild dann deutlicher in den Schatten: Mit komfortableren Anschlüssen, besserem Klang, mehr Benutzerfreundlichkeit, Gaming-Tauglichkeit (bis 60 Hertz) und Top-Zubehörpaket übertrumpft der MoGo 4 den Samsung Freestyle in vielen wichtigen Disziplinen. Auch bei der Preis-Leistung hat Xgimi die Oberhand, da beim Samsung-Beamer der Akku nur gegen Aufpreis dabei ist. Für Weltrekorde bei der Bildqualität reicht es bei beiden Beamern nicht – doch in dieser Kategorie treten batteriebetriebene Projektoren ohnehin nicht an.

Testfazit: Xgimi MoGo 4 Laser

Der Xgimi MoGo 4 liefert unter den mobilen Beamern mit Akku derzeit das beste Gesamtpaket. Das farblich frische und scharfe Bild in Full HD sieht zwar am Netzteil deutlich besser aus, im weniger hellen Batterie-Modus schafft der smarte Projektor dafür über zwei Stunden Filmvergnügen ohne jedes Kabel. Dazu liefern Lautsprecher von Harman Kardon guten Klang, von dem man aber angesichts der kompakten Größe keinen echten Bass verlangen darf. Auch wenn der Xgimi MoGo 4 in der potenteren Laserausführung kein Schnäppchen ist, überzeugt die Preis-Leistung dank des reichhaltigen Zubehörs auf ganzer Linie. Wer einen leichteren Beamer mit abnehmbarem Akku will, entscheidet sich vielleicht doch besser für den Samsung Freestyle. The Ebon if necessary brings significantly more power at light thickness and sound Anker Nebula X1only real mobility is no longer possible.

This new FPS of action and adventure in Steam is free-to-play and only takes an hour to play it

Student-Made FPS “Dreadtome” Earns Rave Reviews, Free to Play

A compact, free-to-play first-person shooter developed by students is unexpectedly captivating players with its unique gameplay and visual style. Released on June 12, “Dreadtome” is gaining accolades for its imaginative setting and finely-tuned mechanics.

Exploring the Enchanted Library

The FPS “Dreadtome” eschews mainstream aspirations. This concise, complimentary game, developed using Unreal Engine 5, appeared on Steam without fanfare. Created by a student team from the University of Breda, this title places gamers in a peculiar library, tasking them with survival.

The game’s duration is roughly an hour, but this isn’t seen as a detriment. Players wield a repulsive device to push enemies, along with a simple firearm, navigating intense combat environments. The game emphasizes movement and shooting, favoring atmosphere over lengthy narrative sequences.

Positive Reception and Accessibility

The game has maintained its free-to-play status since its launch on June 12, 2025. The student project has achieved a 94% “very positive” rating on Steam. Although the player base is modest, the feedback has been surprisingly positive for a student project.

The system requirements are somewhat demanding. An RTX 2060 Super or its equivalent is the minimum requirement for 1080p at 60 frames per second on low settings. If your system meets the requirements, there’s little reason not to try it.

The game’s accessibility and unique gameplay make it stand out. This is a reflection of a trend in the gaming industry, where indie titles account for a growing share of game sales, demonstrating the appeal of shorter, focused gaming experiences.

Sometimes, a concise, focused game can be more challenging to develop than a sprawling epic. The free-to-play model makes it even easier to appreciate “Dreadtome’s” offerings. Players can find the Steam store page for the game here.
