Redmi (Xiaomi) has officially launched the Redmi 15 5G in the Indian market, a smartphone that offers good battery life and performance within its budget. It is equipped with a giant 7000 mAh battery (silicon-carbon technology), 144 Hz FHD+ display, and is powered by Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 with 5G. The official price starts at ~$180 for the 6/128GB version, and sales will begin on 28 August.

DESLOC has introduced the D110 Plus, a smart lock with built-in Wi-Fi, LockVue screen and six ways to unlock, available for under $100.

Chinese smartphone maker Oukitel has unveiled the "world's first ruggedised modular smartphone", the WP300, which looks like a survival kit. It has a huge 16,000 mAh battery (as claimed), a detachable Bluetooth earpiece that acts as a smartwatch, and another module for a camping mini-lamp. The idea is simple: one gadget replaces several small devices, from a power bank to a flashlight. But whether it's really convenient and worthwhile is an open question.

And who's to say that foldable smartphones are fragile?
