LG Electronics India has launched its 292 cm (115-inch) QNED evo AI Mini LED TV in India at Rs 14,99,990. The 115QNED90BL is the largest model in LG’s 2026 QNED evo lineup and is aimed at buyers who want a cinema-sized screen for films, sport and gaming at home.

The TV pairs a 4K Mini LED panel with LG’s Alpha 8 AI Processor Gen3. LG says its Precision Dimming Ultra controls the Mini LED backlight for deeper blacks and brighter highlights, while Dynamic QNED Color Pro delivers colour volume certified at 100 percent by Intertek, so colours stay consistent across the full screen. The processor also runs AI Super Upscaling, which analyses on-screen objects to refine texture and detail, and Dynamic Tone Mapping Pro, which adjusts brightness and clarity frame by frame.

For sports viewing, LG says the set’s AI Sound Pro produces virtual 11.1.2-channel surround sound from the built-in speakers. The webOS 26 platform adds a Sports Portal that pulls live content, scores, match schedules and league standings into one place, along with Sports Alert notifications for followed teams and leagues.

On the gaming side, the 115QNED90BL supports a variable refresh rate up to 165Hz, AMD FreeSync Premium and Auto Low Latency Mode. LG’s Motion Booster pushes motion handling up to 330Hz in gaming modes, which the company says reduces blur in fast-paced shooters and racing games. The LG Gaming Portal offers access to cloud gaming services and web games from one destination.

webOS 26 also brings personalisation features. Voice ID recognises individual users and loads their personalised home screen, an AI Concierge offers context-aware suggestions based on what is being watched, and multi-AI support powered by Google Gemini and Microsoft Copilot lets viewers ask questions and search for related content. LG says these personalised experiences are secured by LG Shield, its CES 2026 Innovation Award-winning encryption technology.

The LG 115QNED90BL is priced at Rs 14,99,990 in India. LG has not yet detailed which retail channels will stock the set beyond its own distribution network. It joins a growing field of oversized premium TVs in the country, including Hisense’s RGB MiniLED range launched earlier this month.

Amkette has launched the EvoFox One Z, a multi-platform wireless gamepad under its EvoFox gaming brand, priced at Rs 3,299 in India. The controller combines TMR electromagnetic joysticks, Hall Effect triggers, tri-mode connectivity and a bundled charging dock, and works with PC, Nintendo Switch, Android, iPhone/iPad and Smart TVs.

TMR (tunnel magnetoresistance) joysticks read stick position magnetically, which Amkette says gives more precise input for movement and aiming. Hall Effect triggers also use magnetic sensing instead of physical contact points, a design meant to keep actuation consistent and reduce wear over time. The controller polls inputs at 1000Hz, the rate at which it reports actions to the connected device, which should keep input lag low in fast games.

Two quick-switch control features are built in. On-the-Fly Gyro Control lets players enable or disable motion-based aiming without opening a settings menu, while On-the-Fly Precision Mode adjusts aiming sensitivity instantly for different games and situations. The One Z also supports 6-axis motion controls in compatible games.

Connectivity covers 2.4GHz wireless through a bundled plug-and-play receiver, Bluetooth and wired USB-C. Other features include dual programmable back buttons, a Turbo function, dual vibration feedback and a 1000mAh rechargeable battery with USB-C charging.

Amkette is positioning the One Z as a complete package: the box includes a charging dock, a mobile clamp for phone gaming, two replaceable joystick caps and the 2.4GHz receiver, so there are no accessories to buy separately.

The EvoFox One Z is available at Rs 3,299 on the Amkette website, Amazon and Flipkart. Amkette’s own store lists an MRP of Rs 4,499, discounted to the launch price.

Allplan Max 2027 launched this week, while Bluebeam Max has been available globally since May. Archicad Max is rolling out by region with Archicad 30. The tools are aimed at professionals working with building models, engineering data and construction drawings.

Different tools for different stages

Graphisoft’s Archicad Max subscription includes an AI Assistant in beta that can carry out multi-step tasks in the building model. AI Assistant Spaces uses a firm’s standards and project knowledge to inform answers, while the AI Visualizer supports image creation. The package also includes early access to Nemetschek Creator, a browser-based early-design platform whose commercial release is planned for 2027.

Allplan Max 2027 adds tools for model analysis, formulas, drawing production and guidance across engineering workflows. Nemetschek reports that early beta users completed selected tasks up to 36 percent faster. Allplan’s separate launch note describes those figures as self-reported estimates that vary with the task and project, rather than a guaranteed improvement.

Bluebeam Max adds drawing-review and markup tools to Revu. These include Smart Review for finding discrepancies or missing information, Smart Overlay for comparing changes between drawing sets, Magic Markups for repetitive annotations and takeoffs, and stitching to combine drawing sheets into a navigable view.

The group also supports connections using the Model Context Protocol, or MCP, which lets compatible AI applications work with software tools and project data. Professionals remain responsible for reviewing the output and approving final decisions.

Bluebeam Max and Allplan Max 2027 are available globally, while Archicad Max availability varies by region. Nemetschek has not provided India-specific pricing in this announcement; feature scope, beta access and subscription packaging vary by product and plan.

The arrangement extends Glance beyond its mobile and connected-TV services to PCs for the first time, according to the company. It was announced on October 29, following an early demonstration at Lenovo Innovation World in Berlin in September.

Shopping in the chat, checkout with the retailer

Glance says its recommendations draw on inventory from more than 400 brands and 15 million products. The integration covers product discovery, styling and comparison; checkout and payment remain with the retailer rather than inside Qira.

Lenovo describes Qira as a personal AI system that carries relevant context across compatible Lenovo and Motorola devices. Connected services work with user permission and within operating-system permissions. Support does not extend to every device from either brand.

Lenovo’s September announcement said Qira was expanding to eligible PCs with 16GB of memory and selected Motorola phones as they receive Android 17. That broader Qira rollout does not establish when the Glance shopping feature will arrive on a particular model.

Neither the Glance announcement nor the Lenovo background material specifies an India rollout date, a list of devices receiving this shopping integration, or any separate fee. Those details remain unannounced.

The V-GUN NEO is aimed at quick everyday cleaning across homes, offices and cars. It offers 6,000Pa of suction, a 400ml dust bin and a washable HEPA filter, and ships with seven interchangeable attachments for cleaning car interiors, sofas, keyboards and tight corners. A built-in LED light helps when working in dark spots.

The device runs cordless for up to 20 minutes on a charge and recharges over USB-C, according to the company. The blower mode is meant for clearing dust from PC cabinets and corners, while the inflate and deflate modes handle items such as pool toys and vacuum storage bags.

The V-GUN NEO is available through XECH’s own website, XECH Experience Centres, Amazon and other leading e-commerce platforms.

The company announced the acquisition on October 28. Inkle is headquartered in San Francisco and develops its accounting software and AI tools with a team in Bengaluru.

About 100 Finally employees are joining Inkle across locations in the Americas, according to the company’s announcement. Finally’s bookkeeping customers will continue working with the same teams, now on Inkle’s platform.

Inkle combines a US CPA-led accounting practice with its own software, including the Inkle Books general ledger. It also serves customers using other accounting systems, rather than requiring every business to move its books to one platform.

The acquisition gives Inkle wider delivery coverage across the Americas and Asia. The company says it has reached profitability after raising $1.5 million in pre-seed funding. These are company-reported financial claims, not independently audited figures provided with the announcement.

The transaction covers Finally’s bookkeeping customers, team and assets, not an acquisition of Finally as a whole. For existing bookkeeping customers, the immediate promise is continuity of the team handling their accounts while the service moves onto Inkle’s platform.

The Find X10 Pro Max carries three 200MP rear cameras – wide, ultra-wide and telephoto – co-developed with Hasselblad and paired with OPPO’s new LUMO True Image Engine, which the company says is built to keep colours and tones closer to the actual scene. The regular Find X10 gets a dual 200MP setup. Both phones support 4K 120fps recording, with the Pro Max adding 8K at 30fps.

Inside, the Pro Max runs MediaTek’s Dimensity 9600 Pro, built on a 2nm process, while the Find X10 uses the 3nm Dimensity 9600M. Both pack an 8,000mAh silicon-carbon battery with 80W wired and 50W wireless charging, and run ColorOS 17 with OPPO’s AI Mind Pilot assistant.

The Find X10 has a 6.59-inch display and the Pro Max a 6.78-inch one, both with adaptive refresh rates up to 144Hz. OPPO rates the panels at up to 3,600 nits of peak brightness. Both phones carry IP66, IP68 and IP69 ratings.

OPPO also expanded its ecosystem at the event: the Pad Mini, an 8.8-inch tablet with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip at Rs 94,999; the Enco X4 earbuds co-developed with Dynaudio at Rs 19,999; and a 10,000mAh power bank at Rs 2,199.

The Find X10 is priced at Rs 1,39,999 (12GB + 256GB) and Rs 1,69,999 (12GB + 512GB), while the Find X10 Pro Max comes in a single 12GB + 512GB variant at Rs 1,99,999. A Hasselblad Teleconverter Kit will sell at Rs 24,999.

The PV3250U is built around colour accuracy in dark scenes, where grading mistakes are hardest to spot. It offers a 3000:1 native contrast ratio, gamma 2.4 tuning, 99 percent DCI-P3 and 100 percent Rec.709 coverage, and a stated Delta E of 1 or less. Factory calibration is validated with extra dark-tone patches, and a 16-bit 3D LUT handles hardware calibration inside the monitor itself, so the correction stays with the display rather than the computer.

Three inspection tools stand out: Shadow Check temporarily lifts dark areas to reveal detail before returning to the calibrated view, Marker adds aspect-ratio and cropping guides, and Area Zoom magnifies part of the frame. None of them alters the source footage.

The panel refreshes at 120Hz and supports HDR10 and HLG with VESA DisplayHDR 600. A Thunderbolt 4 port carries video, data and up to 96W of power over one cable. BenQ also includes a magnetic shading hood, a Wireless Hotkey Puck G4 and an ESS DAC that can drive headphones up to 300 ohms.

The PV3250U is available this month at Rs 1,48,998.

The company has not said when the feature rolls out or what the phone will cost with it. The announcement positions the 2165C as a payment device for buyers who either cannot or do not want to carry a smartphone.

The 2165C itself is a basic feature phone: a 2-inch display, a 1,200mAh battery with what itel calls AI Battery and Super Battery modes, up to 11.67 hours of talk time and up to 25 days of standby. It charges over USB Type-C and supports Bluetooth, wireless FM radio with recording, and automatic call recording.

The phone supports 10 Indian languages and expandable storage up to 32GB, with room for 2,000 contacts and 500 messages.

itel sells through more than 1.3 lakh retail outlets and 1,000 service centres across India, which matters for a product aimed at first-time digital payment users outside big cities.

Until now, Skydo’s business has centred on helping Indian businesses collect payments from abroad. The new licence takes it further. Among its plans is a multi-currency account for eligible Indian exporters, who today typically convert foreign earnings into rupees immediately. The account would let them hold foreign currency, pay overseas suppliers directly, or convert when they choose, subject to regulations.

Skydo also plans payment infrastructure for platforms offering overseas investments such as US equities, and collection and settlement services for export factoring and trade finance companies.

The company says it serves more than 50,000 businesses and processes over $1 billion in annualised payment volume. It already holds an RBI Payment Aggregator-Cross Border authorisation and a Canadian money services business licence, and is an approved payment provider for Amazon Global Selling and Alibaba.

Skydo has set up a dedicated GIFT City team led by Principal Officer Shekhar Tejwani. The authorisation comes as India pushes toward a $2 trillion export target by FY2030-31, with cross-border payments a stated policy priority.
