DJI Avata 2 Fly More Combo
The DJI Avata 2 is a compact, cinewhoop-style drone designed for fast-paced FPV flying and dynamic video capture. Compared to its predecessor, the Avata 2 offers an improved 23-minute battery life, increased video transmission range of 8.1 miles, and, thanks in part to its dual-sensor vision positioning system, a greatly enhanced safety system.
The Avata 2 can be purchased alone or as part of a Fly More Combo, which bundles the drone with the new Googles 3 headset, an RC Motion 3 controller, and either 1 or 3 flight batteries. The 3-battery version also includes DJI's newly released sling bag and two-way charging hub.
The Avata 2 features several additional enhancements, including its new one-button Easy ACRO mode. With a single button-press on the RC Motion 3, pilots can make the Avata 2 perform one of three acrobatic functions: a 360-degree flip, a 360-degree roll, or a 180-degree drift past a target. One-tap VFX are also possible using the LightCut app, which uses AI to add effects, overlays, text animations, and more.
Huawei Nova 12 SE
The nova 12 SE features a headliner 108-megapixel triple cameras, a Snapdragon chipset inside, and supports a blazing fast 66W charging rate — all wrapped in this stylish package. The first thing that strikes me about the nova 12 SE is its understated design. This phone goes for a sophisticated matte finish on the back — which also makes it fairly smudge resistant. It also has a subtle texture that reveals these tiny sparkles wherever light hits the surface.
Looking at the sides, we are greeted by a flat frame that comes in satin-like finish. This design choice, coupled with the phone’s slim profile (at a mere 7.39 mm), makes the nova 12 SE surprisingly comfortable to hold — even with a flat screen as well. Soft edges and rounded corners complete the picture, ensuring a phone that feels as good as it looks. The nova 12 SE rocks a 6.67-inch Full HD+ OLED screen. The bezels are almost equally thin, but you guessed it, the chin is still a bit thicker than the rest. A hole punch notch sits at the top housing its 32-megapixel selfie shooter.
Navigating the device is also smooth albeit capped at only 90Hz refresh rate. The nova 12 SE’s main highlight: triple rear cameras led by a 108-megapixel main sensor. No depth sensor is found here, but the other two lenses consist of an 8-megapixel ultrawide and a 2-megapixel macro lens. The phone relies on the dated Qualcomm Snapdragon 680, a 2021 SoC built on a 6-nanometer process.
Huawei Nova 12i
The nova 12i — the more affordable option in the lineup.This model boasts a 108-megapixel camera, which Huawei touts as its main selling point. It’s backed by a Snapdragon chipset under the hood, a hefty 5000mAh battery, and 40W fast charging.
Our unit is in this sleek Green colorway, which reflects hues of green as light hits it despite the matte finish. The plastic material with this type of finish also makes it resistant to fingerprint and smudges. It is comfortable in the hands too thanks to the back panel’s curved sides. The frame is mostly flat all around but also has soft edges. This is where the earpiece actually sits which I find a clever design.
On the right side, there are the volume rocker along with the power button that doubles as a fingerprint sensor. The bottom houses the USB-C port, the speaker grill, the dual nano-SIM slot, and the second microphone. This leaves nothing on the left side. There’s no ingress protection or IP rating here, not even a screen protection. So, you may want to be more careful and slap a protective case on this phone.
Speaking of screen, the nova 12i sports a 6.7-inch Full HD+ IPS LCD panel capped to only 90Hz refresh rate. It has significantly thinner bezels, except the chin.the 108-megapixel sensor is a highlight, but megapixel count alone doesn’t guarantee image quality. While the nova 12i can capture sharp photos in good lighting, especially for social media use, zooming in reveals limitations in fine detail.
Moving on to performance, the nova 12i features the good ol’ Snapdragon 680 chipset from Qualcomm and comes with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. Unfortunately, no expandable storage here.

Honor Pad 9
Affordable tablets have come a long way, and the Honor Pad 9 is a prime example of that. This big, 12.1-inch tablet offers a great package even before we take its price into consideration. From the sleek design to the 120Hz display, this slate punches way above.
The Honor Pad 9 boasts a few upgrades compared to its predecessor, but nothing too drastic. The screen uses an LCD panel just like the previous model, albeit with better resolution and brightness. The chipset is also a tad better than the previous model, and the cameras are new as well.
