Xiaomi unveiled the 18 Fold, its first book-style foldable since the 2024 Mix Fold 4, adopting the short, wide form factor now favored by Huawei and Samsung. Its inner and outer screens share a roughly 1.4:1 aspect ratio, making it both shorter and wider than the Galaxy Z Fold 8, with hardware specs that reportedly surpass Samsung's device. However, it lacks any announced IP water/dust resistance rating and is slightly heavier and thicker than its rival.

Hohem showed an early prototype of the Eyepic at IFA Berlin, a compact device that combines a mechanically stabilized gimbal camera with a detachable, waterproof wearable camera. It shoots 4K video at 60fps in both horizontal and vertical orientation by physically rotating the gimbal head rather than cropping the sensor, and its 2.5-inch touchscreen pivots to match. The camera body snaps onto the gimbal magnetically and mechanically, and Hohem plans a range of magnetic mounts for hats, bikes and backpacks ahead of a Q1 next year release.
