This might be the next must-buy Android gaming handheld, and it's not a Retroid
If naming conventions hold true, it has a 4.7-inch panel and a Dimensity 8300 chipset.
No release dates or pricing have been announced yet.
One of the main reasons to buy an Android gaming handheld over a Linux-based one is increased power for PS2 emulation and above. Until recently, only Retroid and a few others offered devices powerful enough for reliable PS2 emulation, but the latest device announced by ANBERNIC might be an even better buy.
Announced via the video seen above, the ANBERNIC RG 477M is set to offer some serious power in a pocketable form factor. While no specs are mentioned in the video, we can deduce several things based on previous naming conventions.
The RG 477M will offer the right screen and specs for killer PS2 emulation.
The first two digits of the name imply it will have a 4.7-inch display, and the aspect ratio show in the video all but confirms it will be the same 4:3 120hz LCD display found in the RG Slide. In our review, we found that display to be a real highlight of the device, so it's good to see ANBERNIC using it in more traditional handhelds.
The final digit in the name implies that it will have a MediaTek Dimensity 8300 chipset, similar to the RG 557. That's a lot more power than the Unisoc T820 found in the RG Slide, and it should be more than powerful enough for stable PS2 and GameCube emulation.
The M at the end indicates it has a metal body, which should add a more premium feel than the plastic used in most handhelds. Apart from that, it has in-line shoulder buttons at the top, with symmetrical sticks on the bottom. That should make it versatile enough for a wide variety of retro consoles, but still slim enough to fit in a pocket or go-bag.
There's still no word on how much the RG 477M will cost or when it will be available to purchase. ANBERNIC typically begins teasing devices a few weeks before they're available, but expect a consistent drip feed of new info in the coming weeks.

Humanoid robot swaps its own battery to work 24/7
Robots used to need our help to keep going. They had to be plugged in or manually recharged. Now, UBTech is changing that. The company's new humanoid, the Walker S2, has a feature that could reshape the future of factory work. It can swap out its own battery, requiring no human intervention. That means it can keep going, almost nonstop, 24/7. Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy ReportGet my best tech tips, urgent security alerts and exclusive deals delivered straight to your inbox. Plus, you'll get instant access to my Ultimate Scam Survival Guide — free when you join my Instead of shutting down to recharge, the Walker S2 walks to a nearby swap station. When one battery starts to run low, the robot turns its torso, uses built-in tools on its arms and removes the drained battery. It then picks up a fresh one, plugs it in and gets back to work immediately. The entire process takes about three minutes. This system is similar to battery-swapping tech used in electric vehicles. But this time, it's for humanoid robots. The Walker S2 is the size of a small adult. It's 5 feet, 3 inches tall and weighs 95 pounds. It has two 48-volt lithium batteries. When one runs out, it switches to the other. Each battery lasts approximately two hours while walking or four hours when the robot is standing still. Swap stations also monitor battery health. If a battery starts to degrade, a technician can replace it. UBTech claims the Walker S2 is designed for real-world use. It has been tested in car factories operated by BYD, Nio and Zeekr. These robots are not just for show. They have vision systems to detect battery levels. A green light indicates that a battery is ready to use. The robot reads that, picks it up and plugs it in using a USB-style connector. The robot also features a display face to communicate its status to human workers. And, yes, there's an emergency stop button, just in case. China is investing heavily in robotics. More than 1,600 robotics companies operate in Shenzhen, UBTech's home base. Projects range from humanoids like the Walker S2 to delivery robots that ride the subway and restock convenience stores. This move toward automation is about global competition. China is betting on AI and robotics to lead the next era of manufacturing. Robots like the Walker S2 are built to work nonstop. That changes what the workplace looks like, not just in factories, but everywhere. You could start seeing machines like this in airports, warehouses or even hospitals. They handle the physical tasks. You focus on the thinking, planning or managing. For businesses, 24/7 automation means more output without adding more staff. It keeps operations moving, day and night. This tech is no longer a preview of what's next. It's starting to show up on real job sites. UBTech's Walker S2 is an example of how automation is moving beyond the lab and into the workplace. With battery swapping, humanoid robots may soon be able to work longer hours than any human could ever do. They don't take coffee breaks. They don't sleep. They just keep going. Would you be comfortable working next to a robot that never needs rest, and would you worry it would eventually take your job?

The Fujifilm X-E5 proves familiar isn't always a bad thing
The X-E5 is Fujifilm's tiny powerhouse. It's part of a line of cameras that has often been described as similar to the X100, except with an interchangeable lens. But the X-E line has evolved this year and is taking on a new shape. It used to be seen as a budget option, but at $1,699, that can no longer be said. Despite the fact that I've used almost every Fuji out there, this was my first time playing around with any of the X-E line of cameras. The X-E5 is a gorgeous, petite, and classy-looking camera with sharp lines throughout the body, and with buttons and an occasional concave edge for some extra flair and a distinctive look. It is ever-so-slightly shorter and thicker than the X100VI, but weighs about the same when paired with one of Fujifilm's pancake lenses. It is hard to keep your eyes and hands off of it. Over the last few weeks using the camera, I've had a lot of people asking me about it. Two even assumed it might be a Leica. The camera build feels incredibly solid. The dials and the buttons are very clicky; even the side door just feels right. The hinges on the flip screen are sturdy, and it can flip all the way around for some vlogging, too. All those little details matter and make the camera feel premium, but unfortunately this camera is not weather sealed (something you'd also expect for this price). The big new feature for the X-E is the dedicated film simulation dial. We've seen other Fujis adding these, but this was my first time using it. I rarely shift between film simulations since I have a few of my own, which I stick to 99 percent of the time. But the dial does make saving these sims easier, and encouraged me to experiment with different looks a lot more than before. When it comes to video, you get 6.2k up to 30fps and 1080p up to 240fps. The X-E5 can also film in F-Log and F-Log 2 color spaces, so there is plenty of latitude for post-processing, which will match well with other Fujifilm cameras. And there's HLG HDR too. The rolling shutter isn't the greatest, although it's far from bad. But the X-E5 shouldn't be your primary video camera for two big reasons: the video mode takes a toll on this battery, and I've had it overheat after 13 minutes of continuous filming. As stated earlier, this Fuji is equipped with the same sensor we've seen for a few years now. It is a 40MP BSI CMOS 5 sensor and it is capable of making some great images. It has been my favorite Fuji sensor since the CMOS III. The photos are sharp, with plenty of detail, and the noise levels are well managed. Anything above 2000 ISO will slowly start to break down and look mushy and soft. This is where the 7-stop IBIS comes in and helps you to keep that shutter open for a bit longer, therefore lowering your ISO too. I brought this camera with me on a trip to Mexico along with a handful of lenses. The X-E5 proved to be a brilliant travel camera. I loved having the option to stick to my pancake 27mm for an ultra-compact setup or bring the all-rounder 16-55mm zoom lens for some versatility on a long day out. But despite how much I loved my time with the X-E5, all of the recent Fujifilm cameras are becoming too similar to each other when it comes to performance. Some of those cameras excel in some way, but the X-E5 doesn't have anything unique going for it. It is a classic jack of all trades. And that's not a bad thing. But once you start looking at the prices, you might have some second thoughts. When the X-E4 came out it was $850 and was seen as a hidden gem in the lineup. At $1,700, it starts to become a harder sell. However, if you do pick this one, be assured you're picking a brilliant and gorgeous camera. It might no longer be a hidden gem, but it's still a gem.

5 Breakout Growth Stocks You Can Buy and Hold for the Next Decade
Key Points Nvidia and TSMC are two of the best ways to play the growth in AI infrastructure. Meta Platforms and Toast are using AI to help drive growth. GitLab is helping transform the software development lifecycle. 10 stocks we like better than Nvidia › Investors looking for long-term winners should focus on companies with strong growth runways, clear competitive advantages, and the ability to adapt to evolving tech trends. Let's look at five breakout growth stocks that fit this bill that you can buy now and hold for the long term. 1. Nvidia Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) is the undisputed leader in artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure. Its graphics processing units (GPUs) have become the backbone of AI workloads, and it's hard to overstate the company's dominance. It captured an incredible 92% market share in Q1, and even at a $4 trillion market cap, Nvidia is still in growth mode. Its real moat isn't just its chips -- it's its CUDA software platform. CUDA is the main reason why the company is in the position it is in today. Nvidia pushed its free software platform into research labs and universities well before AI went mainstream. This led to developers being trained on CUDA, and tools and libraries being built on top of it that improve its chips' performance in handling AI tasks. Nvidia, meanwhile, recently got good news when the Trump administration indicated it would once again let it sell its H20 chips in China. The company is also pushing into new markets beyond AI, with the auto segment being another potential huge market with the advent of autonomous driving and robotaxis. As such, Nvidia remains a great growth stock to own for the long haul. 2. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE: TSM) is the world's leading chip foundry, and its importance just keeps growing. Today, most advanced chipmakers just design chips, leaving their production to TSMC. That includes top names like Nvidia, AMD, Broadcom, and Apple. TSMC is benefiting from the AI surge, with high-performance computing (HPC) now making up 60% of its revenue -- up from 52% a year ago. The company is far ahead in advanced node manufacturing, and that lead keeps widening. Nodes refer to how many transistors can be fit on a chip, and the more dense a chip is, the more powerful and energy efficient it becomes. Chips built on 7-nanometer and smaller nodes made up 74% of TSMC's revenue last quarter, with 3nm chips accounting for 24%. With other foundries struggling, TSMC is the clear leader in the space due to its scale and technological expertise. As a result, it has been an invaluable partner to top chip designers. The great thing is that it doesn't matter which company takes market share, as they all use TSMC. With AI demand continuing to grow and new markets like autonomous driving emerging, TSMC looks like a cornerstone stock to own for the next decade. 3. Meta Platforms One company looking to win the AI battle is Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META). Meta already owns one of the most powerful digital ad platforms in the world, and it is now using AI to supercharge it. Meta's Llama models are helping boost engagement across Facebook and Instagram, which means users are spending more time on the apps, leading to more ad inventory to sell. At the same time, its AI tools are helping advertisers build better campaigns and target users more precisely, leading to higher ad prices and stronger return on ad spend. But the biggest opportunities are still ahead. Meta is only just beginning to serve ads on WhatsApp and Threads. WhatsApp has more than 3 billion users, and Threads already has 350 million. Both are early in their ad rollouts, and that gives Meta a long runway for growth. Meanwhile, CEO Mark Zuckerberg is spending aggressively to secure AI talent, with a stated goal of delivering "personal superintelligence." That's a bold vision, but if Meta succeeds, it could become the most important AI platform in the world. That's a reason to own it for the long term. 4. GitLab GitLab (NASDAQ: GTLB) is transforming itself from a code repository into a full-blown software development lifecycle platform. Its platform now provides tools for planning, coding, testing, securing, deploying, and monitoring software, as it looks to become a single platform for the entire software development lifecycle. And it's doing this just as AI is fundamentally changing how code is written, tested, and deployed. Software development has been accelerating due to AI, and GitLab is becoming a key partner. GitLab 18 marked a big leap forward, with over 30 new features including Duo Agent, which allows AI agents to help across the full development lifecycle. That matters, because only about 20% of a developer's time is spent actually writing code. GitLab is now focused on helping drive efficiency everywhere else. In an AI-first software world, GitLab's position as an end-to-end workflow solution puts it in a strong spot. This looks like a strong growth story with a lot of upside potential in the years to come. 5. Toast Toast (NYSE: TOST) is growing in importance in the restaurant industry, as its software platform helps restaurants manage operations and drive sales. Meanwhile, the company is now integrating AI into its platform in a way that could meaningfully change how restaurants make decisions. Tools like ToastIQ and Sous Chef are helping restaurants make smarter, faster decisions in real time -- whether it's optimizing staffing, adjusting menus, or helping improve supply chains. It has even started piloting new modules to help restaurants upsell customers and improve their advertising with Google. Toast's value proposition is clear: It helps restaurants run better and make more money. Meanwhile, through its payment processing, it benefits when its customers succeed. As restaurants face rising costs and tighter margins, they're turning to tech to help, and Toast is becoming one of the first places they look. That said, the restaurant industry is large and fragmented, giving Toast plenty of room to continue to expand over the next decade. Should you invest $1,000 in Nvidia right now?
