POCO has launched the highly anticipated POCO X7 Iron Man Edition, along with the standard POCO X7 and POCO X7 Pro models.
At CES 2025, BMW revealed the next step in the evolution of its iDrive system — the Panoramic iDrive. Having teased this tech last year in the iVision Dee concept, the automaker is now ready to show off the fully realized version of this innovative infotainment system. What makes this debut particularly exciting is the seamless integration of advanced technologies, including an expanded heads-up display, a customizable infotainment system, and cutting-edge AI, all part of BMW’s new Operating System X. The Panoramic iDrive The centerpiece of this system is the Panoramic Vision, which takes the concept of the traditional heads-up display (HUD) to the next level. Instead of being confined to a small patch of windshield, BMW’s new HUD runs the length of the lower edge of the windshield, stretching between the A-pillars. This three-dimensional display presents key driving information directly in the driver’s line of sight, such as speed, adaptive driving assistance system (ADAS) data, navigation instructions, road signs, and even stoplight information. It’s also customizable. Drivers can choose which pieces of information are most important, and position them to appear in their direct eyeline. The Panoramic HUD is visible not only to the driver but also to the passenger. Unlike traditional HUDs that are visible from a specific angle, BMW’s new display ensures that both occupants can view the same content. This includes real-time information about the vehicle’s path, which turns green when using onboard navigation with driver assist features, providing a more intuitive and connected experience. BMW has also made sure this tech works with higher levels of automated driving, and the integration of ADAS features directly into the HUD makes this future-proof. The system is designed to improve as BMW continues to enhance its hands-off autonomous driving features, especially on highways. As for durability, BMW confirmed that the windshield itself is not a specialty one — no additional cost for replacement should it get damaged, as a special film layer allows the 3D images to appear crisp without requiring any special glass. More Customization with a New Infotainment Screen In addition to the revolutionary HUD, BMW is introducing a new rhombus-shaped central touchscreen that offers a completely customizable interface. The design aims to give users greater control over their on-screen experience, allowing them to drag and drop “pixels” (or apps) they use most often into two main boxes on the home screen for easy access. The screen itself is angled toward the driver, enhancing usability while keeping things sleek and modern. BMW is also laying the groundwork for an in-car app store, where users can download new apps to enhance their driving experience, ranging from special lighting features to other advanced capabilities. This app-based model aligns with the growing trend in the automotive world to integrate software as a service into the vehicle. AI and Voice Recognition: Smarter Than Ever The system goes even further by using edge AI to learn from the driver’s habits and preferences. It analyzes driving patterns and adapts the interface to present the features the driver uses most frequently. For example, if you regularly switch to Sport mode when driving on winding roads, or you tend to cue up your favorite music when you get in the car, these options will automatically pop up on the screen, saving you time and energy when navigating through the system. BMW is also introducing large language models (LLMs) to power its voice recognition system, taking the company’s class-leading natural language processing to the next level. Now, you can ask the system to “take me to a charging station near the grocery store,” without needing to use precise keywords. This shift makes the in-car experience more intuitive and conversational, reducing the need for specific commands while increasing overall ease of use. When can we expect this tech in BWM’s vehicles? While BMW has showcased the Panoramic iDrive system in full form at CES 2025, the technology will make its official debut in the Neue Klasse SUV later this year. However, it won’t be limited to just one model — BMW plans to roll this tech across its full range of vehicles by the end of 2025, which means whether you’re looking at a sleek sedan, a sporty coupe, or an electric SUV, the Panoramic iDrive could soon become an integral part of your driving experience.

A new Lenovo Legion Go is set to arrive! At CES 2025, Lenovo announced a handful of new devices, and among them are the newest additions to its handheld console family. Well, one is technically still a prototype. Lenovo Legion Go S The Lenovo Legion Go S is still a Windows-based handheld gaming console and boasts a smaller 8-inch WUXGA display that supports 16:10 aspect ratio and a 120Hz refresh rate. While it is smaller than the 8.8-inch display on its predecessor, the Legion Go S supposedly has better optimizations for a better experience. Powered by either the AMD Ryzen Z2 Go or the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor, the Legion Go S offers up to 32GB of LPDDR5X RAM (7500 MHz). With a 55.5Wh battery, it’s built to keep you playing for hours, whether you’re on a plane, a train, or anywhere in between. Unlike its predecessor, the Legion Go S offers more connectivity options, including Wi-Fi 6e support and USB 4.0 ports, which make it easy to link up to other displays or peripherals. Lenovo has also integrated a microSD card reader, ensuring that you have plenty of room for all your game saves and downloadable content. It also retains the same heft as the original Legion Go, weighing in at 1.61 lbs (730g). But a key feature of the Legion Go S is its integration with SteamOS on the SteamOS-powered version, making it the world’s first officially licensed handheld running on SteamOS. This is a major shift from the original Legion Go, which ran on Windows, giving users the flexibility to choose between a Windows-based or SteamOS-based experience. This version of the device integrates fully with the Steam platform, giving gamers access to the entire Steam Store and Steam Library, as well as Remote Play to stream games directly from a PC. The cloud saves feature ensures that you can seamlessly pick up your game where you left off, whether you’re on your desktop or on the Legion Go S. The Lenovo Legion Go S is expected to hit shelves in 2025, though specific release dates may vary by region. As for the price, Lenovo has not officially confirmed any exact figures yet, but it’s safe to assume that this device will be positioned in the mid-to-premium price range. Legion Go Prototype While the Legion Go S is already official, Lenovo also had a prototype of the next iteration of its handheld gaming device on display at CES 2025, the Lenovo Legion Go (8.8”, 2) Prototype. This prototype is still in the development stage and is not yet available for purchase, but it hints at what the future of portable gaming might look like. The Legion Go Prototype features some impressive upgrades over the original, including an 8.8-inch OLED display with 144Hz refresh rate and Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) support, which makes for an ultra-smooth, crisp gaming experience. The display is noticeably larger than the original Legion Go, and with OLED technology, you can expect richer colors, deeper blacks, and better overall image quality. In terms of raw power, the Legion Go Prototype steps up with the AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme processor paired with RDNA 3.5 graphics. These advancements should offer more graphical horsepower, especially for demanding AAA titles. The prototype also boasts up to 64GB of LPDDR5X RAM, which is double the amount available in the current Legion Go, offering improved multitasking and future-proofing for years to come. The prototype also has up to 2TB of SSD storage for gamers who need more space for their ever-growing game library. Lenovo is also incorporating a 74Wh battery, providing longer gaming sessions, and ergonomic improvements such as rounder controllers for better input accuracy. Lenovo has confirmed that some details may still be refined before the device is ready for the market. The company has not yet announced a formal release date or price, but they have teased that it could arrive in 2025

At CES 2025, BMW revealed the next step in the evolution of its iDrive system — the Panoramic iDrive. Having teased this tech last year in the iVision Dee concept, the automaker is now ready to show off the fully realized version of this innovative infotainment system. What makes this debut particularly exciting is the seamless integration of advanced technologies, including an expanded heads-up display, a customizable infotainment system, and cutting-edge AI, all part of BMW’s new Operating System X. The Panoramic iDrive The centerpiece of this system is the Panoramic Vision, which takes the concept of the traditional heads-up display (HUD) to the next level. Instead of being confined to a small patch of windshield, BMW’s new HUD runs the length of the lower edge of the windshield, stretching between the A-pillars. This three-dimensional display presents key driving information directly in the driver’s line of sight, such as speed, adaptive driving assistance system (ADAS) data, navigation instructions, road signs, and even stoplight information. It’s also customizable. Drivers can choose which pieces of information are most important, and position them to appear in their direct eyeline. The Panoramic HUD is visible not only to the driver but also to the passenger. Unlike traditional HUDs that are visible from a specific angle, BMW’s new display ensures that both occupants can view the same content. This includes real-time information about the vehicle’s path, which turns green when using onboard navigation with driver assist features, providing a more intuitive and connected experience. BMW has also made sure this tech works with higher levels of automated driving, and the integration of ADAS features directly into the HUD makes this future-proof. The system is designed to improve as BMW continues to enhance its hands-off autonomous driving features, especially on highways. As for durability, BMW confirmed that the windshield itself is not a specialty one — no additional cost for replacement should it get damaged, as a special film layer allows the 3D images to appear crisp without requiring any special glass. More Customization with a New Infotainment Screen In addition to the revolutionary HUD, BMW is introducing a new rhombus-shaped central touchscreen that offers a completely customizable interface. The design aims to give users greater control over their on-screen experience, allowing them to drag and drop “pixels” (or apps) they use most often into two main boxes on the home screen for easy access. The screen itself is angled toward the driver, enhancing usability while keeping things sleek and modern. BMW is also laying the groundwork for an in-car app store, where users can download new apps to enhance their driving experience, ranging from special lighting features to other advanced capabilities. This app-based model aligns with the growing trend in the automotive world to integrate software as a service into the vehicle. AI and Voice Recognition: Smarter Than Ever The system goes even further by using edge AI to learn from the driver’s habits and preferences. It analyzes driving patterns and adapts the interface to present the features the driver uses most frequently. For example, if you regularly switch to Sport mode when driving on winding roads, or you tend to cue up your favorite music when you get in the car, these options will automatically pop up on the screen, saving you time and energy when navigating through the system. BMW is also introducing large language models (LLMs) to power its voice recognition system, taking the company’s class-leading natural language processing to the next level. Now, you can ask the system to “take me to a charging station near the grocery store,” without needing to use precise keywords. This shift makes the in-car experience more intuitive and conversational, reducing the need for specific commands while increasing overall ease of use. When can we expect this tech in BWM’s vehicles? While BMW has showcased the Panoramic iDrive system in full form at CES 2025, the technology will make its official debut in the Neue Klasse SUV later this year. However, it won’t be limited to just one model — BMW plans to roll this tech across its full range of vehicles by the end of 2025, which means whether you’re looking at a sleek sedan, a sporty coupe, or an electric SUV, the Panoramic iDrive could soon become an integral part of your driving experience.
