One of Fujifilm’s most anticipated cameras, the X-E5, is now available in the Philippines.

The Fujifilm X-E5 is already being considered by some experts as the best compact camera on the market. This interchangeable lens camera boasts a lot of upgrades and power while retaining that classic styling the brand is known for.

It boasts a machined aluminum top plate and a new film simulation dial that lets you switch between the FS1 to FS3 positions. Oh, and you can individually set the Film Simulation and image quality settings to match your style.

We also have a 0.39-inch OLED color EVF with 2.36 million dots. Plus, a 3-inch tilt-type touchscreen LCD monitor with a 3:2 aspect ratio and around 1.04 million dots.

Fujifilm has included a new Classic Display Mode that shows camera data in the EVF. There’s also a dedicated lever that enables the Surround View function, which shows a semi-transparent outline outside the image so you can frame the photo better.

Now, onto the important stuff. The X-E5 has a 40.2-megapixel APS-C X-Trans CMOS 5HR BSI sensor paired with Fujifilm’s X-Processor 5 that offers twice the processing speed of its predecessor.

It also has 5-axis sensor-shift image stabilization, an ISO range of 125 to 12,800, shutter speeds of up to 1/180,000secs (electronic) or 1/4000secs (mechanical).

4K/UHD video recording of up to 59.94fps, up to 240fps at FHD, and supports 4:2:2 10-bit or 12-bit RAW via HDMI.

The camera supports a single UHS-II SD card, WiFi 5 and Buetooth connectivity, and NP-W126S Li-ion battery.

You can now get the Fujifilm X-E5 in the Philippines this August for Php104,990 with an XF23mm f/2.8 kit lens or Php91,990 for the body only.

Lenovo’s ThinkPad X9 Aura Edition gets a new colorway since its debut at CES 2025 earlier this year.

Both the 14-inch and 15-inch variants of the Lenovo ThinkPad X9 Aura Edition will now come in a new Moonlight White colorway, joining the existing Dark Grey variant which is a first for the series.

It’s more than just aesthetic. Lenovo said that it has a special coating that will help minimize discoloration, a constant problem for white laptops.

While it’s now predominantly white, the machine still has a black keyboard and bezels around the display.

The specs remain the same. Both sizes can be had with up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 288VLUnar Lake processor, with 32GB of RAM, and 2TB of storage.

Both displays have a 120Hz refresh rate, with the 14-inch model sporting a 55Wh battery and a bigger 80Wh battery for the 15-inch variant.

First available in China, the Lenovo ThinkPad X9 Aura Edition has a starting price of CNY12,999 (~Php103,300). Release details in the Philippines is yet to be announced.

A new member of the HONOR X series is out, and it has one of the biggest batteries you can find in a modern, sleek smartphone. Meet the HONOR X70.

The HONOR X70 boasts an 8,300mAh battery. Despite its ultra-large capacity, it has a thickness of just 7.8mm to 8.0mm (depending on the variant). That’s about the same size as your average phone with a 5,000-6,000mAh capacity, all thanks to silicon-carbon technology.

Charging speeds are quite bizarre. All models will receive an 80W wired charger, which should be sufficient for charging the battery.

It also has an impressive 80W wireless charging support, but only if you get the top-tier 512GB model. They ship with Android 15-based MagicOS 9.0 interface.

But then again, being in the X series, the rest of the specs are fitting for the budget market. For starters, it has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 processor, which is still decent for the price. You can pair it with up to 12GB of RAM and the said 512GB of storage.

We do have a pretty impressive display. There’s a 6.79-inch 1.2K AMOLED screen with a high 120Hz refresh rate and an extra bright 6,000-nits of peak brightness.

The camera island on the back is reminiscent of the HONOR phones we’ve seen in the past. It holds a sharp 50-megapixel main camera with optical image stabilization, albeit no telephoto or ultra-wide. An 8-megapixel selfie camera is on the front.

Durability features are also pretty extensive. It passed IP66, IP68, and IP69 certifications for dust and water protection. HONOR also claims it can survive up to 85 ℃ of water temperatures, 4 hours of continuous salt spray, and a water depth of up to 6 meters.

The HONOR X70 is now for pre-order in China and will be available on July 18. The 8GB/128GB retails for CNY1,399 (~Php11,100), 8GB/256GB for CNY1,599 (~Php12,700), 12GB/256GB for CNY1,799 (~Php14,300), and 12GB/512GB for CNY1,999 (~Php15,900). No word yet if it will be available in the Philippines.

Teamgroup has unveiled the P250Q Self-Destruct SSD, a new storage drive designed for high-security environments where sensitive data must be erased instantly and permanently. The drive, which combines hardware and software-based destruction, aims to address growing concerns over industrial and military data leaks. However, its practicality outside tightly controlled settings remains unclear.

At the heart of the Teamgroup P250Q SSD is a patented circuit that physically wipes data by targeting the Flash IC, the core storage component. Teamgroup claims the drive can continue erasing data even after a power outage, ensuring no traces of data remain. A one-click trigger and LED indicators simplify the process.

Running out of storage? Here are some tips to free up space in your phone�

Fake SSD contains two microSD cards inside

The Teamgroup P250Q offers storage from 256GB to 2TB, using 3D TLC NAND Flash, and supports PCIe Gen4x4 with NVMe 1.4, delivering speeds up to 7,000MB/s read and 5,500MB/s write. It also includes S.M.A.R.T. monitoring for reliability.

While the self-destruct feature may appeal to organizations with strict data protocols, it’s definitely not meant for regular consumers. Similar concepts, like Ovrdrive’s past attempt, faced challenges in mass adoption. For now, the P250Q appears tailored for niche security needs rather than everyday use.

Google is expanding its AI-powered video tools by bringing Veo 3’s image-to-video generation feature to the Gemini app. The feature, first announced at Google’s I/O 2025 event in May, allows users to turn still images into short video clips with sound.

Google AI Ultra and Pro subscribers can generate up to three (3) 8-second videos per day within the Gemini app. To create a video, users select “Videos” from the prompt box toolbar, choose an image from their gallery, and provide instructions for animations, visuals, and audio. The AI then processes the request and produces a dynamic video in minutes.

Google suggests users can “animate everyday objects, bring drawings to life, or add movement to nature scenes.” The finished clips can be downloaded or shared directly. The feature is rolling out now in select countries and is also available on Google’s Flow filmmaking tool.

How to stop Google Gemini from accessing data from your apps

How to view and experience the old versions of Google Search

All AI-generated videos will include a visible watermark and an invisible SynthID digital watermark for authenticity. Users can rate the results with thumbs-up or thumbs-down feedback to help improve the model.

Since its launch, Veo 3 has already been used to create over 40 million videos across Gemini and Flow, signaling strong interest in AI-generated content among regular consumers.

Finding downloadable Nintendo Switch ROMs just got harder for people sailing the high seas.

Two popular websites, Nsw2u and Nswdl, were recently taken offline, replaced with a seizure notice from the FBI. The sites had allowed users to download Switch ROMs, which could be played on emulators or modified consoles.

The notice states that the domains were seized under a warrant issued by a U.S. district court in Georgia. Dutch authorities from the Fiscal Information and Investigation Service (FIOD) also participated in the operation. Nsw2u had been flagged earlier this year, appearing on an EU piracy watchlist in May 2025.

Downloading game ROMs: is it legal or not?

Most ROM sites, including these two, don’t host game files directly but link to external sources. Still, Nintendo has aggressively pursued platforms enabling piracy. The company has also targeted emulator developers, such as Yuzu, which shut down in March 2024 after a lawsuit. Despite this, Yuzu remains widely used.

Nintendo has also taken action against the MIG Switch, a cartridge that supports both legal backups and unauthorized ROMs. With the upcoming Switch 2 being backward compatible, the company has banned consoles using the MIG Switch from online services. This move has drawn criticism, including from Brazil’s consumer protection agency, which warns that legitimate players could be unfairly blocked.

While piracy alternatives still exist, Nintendo’s legal efforts continue to tighten access to unauthorized game copies.
