I tested the DJI Mic Mini 2S — its flagship features and budget price make it the ‘sweet spot’ in DJI’s wireless mic range DJI Mic Mini 2S: two-minute review Until now, DJI's compact wireless mic lineup has had a clear budget option in the Mic Mini series and a clear flagship in the Mic series, with a gulf of features and price separating the two. The Mic Mini 2S changes things, and slots right into that gulf. It's not quite a flagship-killer, but with this release, DJI now has three tiers of small wireless mic — and this middle one is very appealing. Much of the flagship DJI Mic 3' s DNA has trickled down into the Mic Mini 2S: internal recording, 32-bit float support, AI-driven noise cancellation, adaptive gain modes, fast file transfers. These were all things that, until now, meant paying a premium. The Mini 2S borrows them wholesale, wraps them in the same pocket-sized transmitt...

‘The Qualcomm chipset offers very good performance for still image processing, but for video, it’s not good enough’: Honor explains why it created a dedicated imaging chipset for its gimbal-equipped Robot Phone

‘The Qualcomm chipset offers very good performance for still image processing, but for video, it’s not good enough’: Honor explains why it created a dedicated imaging chipset for its gimbal-equipped Robot Phone Writing about chipsets can be a bit like watching paint dry. These tiny mobile brains get more powerful every year, but 99% of smartphone users don’t get anywhere close to using their full potential. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, for instance, came out in 2023, but most people would be hard-pressed to notice a performance difference between that chipset and Qualcomm’s latest, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, which powers most of today’s best Android phones . It’s a classic case of diminishing returns — semiconductor manufacturers can keep raising the chipset performance ceiling, but if phones can’t make use of all that extra power (and for several years, they haven’t been able to), the tangible g...

I spent two hours with the Honor Robot Phone, and this ridiculous, remarkable device made me feel like a kid again

I spent two hours with the Honor Robot Phone, and this ridiculous, remarkable device made me feel like a kid again First there was the phone. Then there was the iPhone. And now, according to Honor , there is the Robot Phone — a “revolutionary, category-creating device that shatters the physical boundaries of traditional mobile technology.” Now look, I love to call out marketing department hyperbole as much as the next journalist, but notwithstanding its description as the evolutionary successor to Apple’s greatest-ever product — sell 3 billion units, then we’ll have that conversation — the Chinese tech company is right to position the Robot Phone as something wholly different to what’s come before. No smartphone I’ve ever come across features a fully motorized, three-axis mechanical gimbal built directly into its chassis, nor such a comprehensive suite of professional-grade camera features, som...
