World Cup cameo aside, we haven’t heard much since MWC, but Honor is gearing up to release the gimbal-equipped phone in China soon. It’s teasing the camera’s capabilities, including a 200-megapixel, f/1.6, 1/1.2.8-inch-type gimbal camera, and a separate 200-megapixel, f/2.6, 1/1.4-inch-type periscope. The gimbal itself will support automatic subject tracking and six different shooting modes.

The company launched its Meta Glasses with a “more helpful” assistant powered by its new Muse Spark models, but now the upgrade is coming to its Ray-Ban Display glasses as well.

Twelve South’s PlugBug does more than power your devices. Thanks to built-in support for Apple’s Find My network, you can also track it and the gadget it’s charging while traveling.

Not every gadget is waterproof, so Urban Armor Gear partnered with Dryout for a new collection of bags, pouches, and backpacks featuring pockets with absorbent liners that pull moisture away from drowned devices. They can be dried and reused similar to Bone-Dri’s products and are potentially a better alternative to a bag of rice.

The Air Zoom Hyperslide, launching on September 29th for $249, uses a pod from Hyperice to offer three levels of heat and vibration across the top of the foot, running in 15-minute cycles controlled directly on the pod or from its mobile app.
