I’m always looking for a sale (I’m assuming you are, too), and I’ve found the best Samsung promo codes and special offers to help you save big on your most important tech purchases. At WIRED, we often review the South Korean company’s products, especially Samsung’s vast lineup of Galaxy smartphones, and I’ve rounded up a bunch of Samsung coupons for (virtually) every type of shopper.

Intel’s Core 5 120 rebrand arrives with eye-watering early pricing. An Intel facility in Oregon pictured. (Image source: Intel) Intel has quietly rebranded its six-core i5-12400 silicon as the new Core 5 120 and 120F—yet both chips carry provisional price tags well above faster, newer CPUs in Intel’s lineup. Intel has revived a familiar silicon design under a new badge, quietly turning the once-popular Core i5-12400 series into the freshly named Core 5 120 and Core 5 120F. Early retailer listings spotted by industry watcher momomo_us show provisional prices of $246.01 for the standard chip and $216.66 for the graphics-less F variant. Although these figures may merely be placeholders, they currently place the pair well above faster, newer processors in Intel’s own stack. At heart, little has changed. Both newcomers still rely on six performance cores with Hyper-Threading—no efficiency cores are present—and share an 18 MB L3 cache. The Core 5 120 reportedly lifts its maximum turbo to 4.5 GHz (from 4.4 GHz on 2022’s i5-12400) and carries a trimmed turbo TDP of 110 W. The “F” model drops integrated graphics altogether, obliging system builders to add a discrete GPU. The problem is price. At almost $250, the Core 5 120 costs roughly 40 percent more than Intel’s faster Core i5-14400 ($176) and even eclipses the unlocked Core i5-14600K ($199) on Amazon at the time of writing. The cut-down Core 5 120F fares no better: its preliminary tag is double that of the still-available i5-12400F, which can be found for just under $110. Such mark-ups are not unprecedented—AMD’s Ryzen 3000XT and 5000XT refreshes followed a similar trajectory—but history suggests steeper launch prices on recycled silicon rarely last. If the Core 5 120 family settles closer to the sub-$100 mark hinted at by some commentators, it could find a niche in budget gaming towers where six Raptor-Lake-class cores at 4.5 GHz remain perfectly adequate for esports titles. Until that correction occurs, however, Intel’s rebrand risks being overshadowed by its own newer—and cheaper—Core i5 alternatives as well as AMD’s value-oriented offerings. Builders eyeing a low-cost upgrade on the aging LGA 1700 platform may wish to watch retailer listings for more realistic street prices before committing to these chips. Related Articles Nathan Ali – Tech Writer – 288 articles published on Notebookcheck since 2024 I’m a tech geek at heart, and it all started back in middle school. I’ve always loved messing around with gadgets—rooting Android phones and jailbreaking iPhones was my thing. I’ve definitely bricked a few phones along the way, but that never stopped me from trying. For over a decade, I’ve been glued to tech news, always trying to keep up with the latest and greatest. But I’m not just about tech; I’m also really into cars and love following what’s new in the automotive world. Oh, and I should mention that I also worked as a freelance writer. I can’t name-drop the companies I wrote for (you know how it is), but it was a pretty cool experience. I switch between reading, gaming, and keeping up with all the tech and car stuff in my downtime. It’s a mix that keeps things interesting and fun for me. Nathan Ali, 2025-08- 3 (Update: 2025-08- 3) Read More

Under the Asus brand name, the company manufactures a wide range of products, including laptops, desktops, motherboards, graphics cards, monitors, smartphones and networking equipment, complete systems and PC components for end users. Under the ROG (Republic of Gamers) brand name, ASUS manufactures gaming laptops known by gamers for their powerful specifications, dedicated graphics cards, high refresh rate displays and advanced cooling systems. Beyond gaming, a wide range of notebooks are offered for different needs and budgets, from ultra-slim and lightweight ultrabooks to versatile 2-in-1 convertibles and budget-friendly options. In 2023, Asus had a 7% global market share of the PC market. Customer satisfaction with ASUS notebooks concerns performance, the features, and the good price-performance ratio of ASUS notebooks. However, as with any brand, there are occasional reports of problems such as overheating, driver compatibility, or build quality issues. Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards. Qualcomm Adreno X1-45 1.7 TFLOPS: An integrated graphics adapter that the Snapdragon X Plus 8-core X1P-42-100 SoC features. Compared to the faster 3.8 TFLOPS and 4.6 TFLOPS X1-85 iGPUs, this one does not just run at lower clock speeds but also has fewer unified shaders at its disposal, with 768 being the most likely number. The underlying architecture is reportedly not much different from what was used in the Adreno 730. As for its gaming performance, it’s only just sufficient for pre-2020 games at resolutions such as HD 720p on low graphics settings. AMD Radeon 860M: A fairly powerful RDNA 3.5 architecture iGPU that debuted in early 2025 and a direct successor to the Radeon 760M. Its 8 CUs/WGPs (512 unified shaders) run at up to 3 GHz. DX12 Ultimate, ray tracing, AI image generation and other modern features are all supported here, as are many popular video codecs including first and foremost AVC, HEVC, VP9 and AV1. Its gaming performance is good enough for playing 2024 games in low graphics settings. » Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List. Qualcomm Snapdragon X: SD X1-26-100: An affordable ARM architecture processor (SoC) for use in Windows laptops. The 8-core Snapdragon X chip features 8 Oryon CPU cores running at up to 2.98 GHz, along with the 1.7 TFLOPS X1-45 Adreno iGPU and the 45 TOPS Hexagon NPU. The super-fast LPDDR5x-8448 memory controller known to us from other Snapdragon X chips, USB 4.0 support, TB 4 support and PCIe 4 support are all onboard as well. AMD : Ryzen AI 7 350: A relatively powerful Krackan Point family processor that was introduced in early 2025. The APU integrates 8 CPU cores (4 Zen 5 cores with up to 5 GHz and 4 Zen 5c cores with up to 3.5 GHz). » Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors. 14.00: 14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops. The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact.  In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers.  » To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.

The Rogbid K1 smarwatch comes in three colors – pink, blue and black (pictured). (Image source: Rogbid) Rogbid is entering the kids’ smartwatch market with the K1, which comes with GPS tracking, 4G calls, an AMOLED display, and SOS support – priced at $69.99 for a limited time via the official store. Kids’ smartwatches are quickly becoming a big segment in the wearables market. Rogbid, which is slowly creating a name for itself in the budget-focused smartwatches niche with its recent launches (like the GeoX1 and Model S), is now launching its first child-oriented model – the Rogbid K1. The K1 looks to be a practical solution for families needing core safety features, real-time location tracking, and video calling, all wrapped in a kid-friendly form factor. Priced at $69.99 during its launch promotion (ongoing right now), it can be purchased via the official Rogbid online store. The K1 has a 1.78-inch AMOLED screen. It supports 4G global connectivity for voice and video calls across most network bands. For safety, the K1 uses triple-mode location tracking – GPS, LBS, and Wi-Fi – which parents can access through a connected app. Location history is also available, and an SOS button lets children send a distress signal with a single tap. Other important features include a camera for HD photos and video calls, along with several built-in mini-apps for learning and fun. Rogbid claims that the 800mAh battery delivers up to 7 days of standby time. IP67 water resistance rating should cover typical outdoor use and splashes as well. Available in pink, blue, and black, the watch comes bundled with a strap, charger, and user manual. While the K1 doesn’t break any new ground in terms of features, it presents a useful set of features at a pretty decent price, so parents looking for a first-time smartwatch for their kids could definitely consider this as a viable option.

Skip to content Image: James Barber/Foundry TechHive Editors Choice At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Matter controller and bridge, with Thread and Zigbee radios 2K video resolution with a tall, 4:3 aspect ratio mmWave presence detection reduces false alerts Compatibile with Alexa, Google, SmartThings, IFTTT Supports Apple HomeKit Secure Video and RTSP Cons Motion-triggered video recordings limited to 12 seconds No HDR support, limiting performance in mixed or backlit conditions Weak weatherization rating: IPX3 Zigbee radio only supports Aqara’s Zigbee devices Our Verdict If you don’t already have a strong smart home hub, the Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 can kill two birds with one stone. Price When Reviewed This value will show the geolocated pricing text for product undefined Best Pricing Today Best Prices Today: Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 ₹29,899 Describing the Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 as just another video doorbell is like dismissing the quirky VW ID. Buzz as a run-of-the-mill minivan. Sure, it will keep an eye on your front porch, but it can also control all the other smart devices in your home, thanks to the presence of Bluetooth, Thread, dual-band Wi-Fi, and Zigbee radios; Matter support; compatibility with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Samsung SmartThings, IFTTT, and Apple’s HomeKit Secure Video; and a 24/7 recording option with RTSP support for hardcore users. One caveat: Its Zigbee support is limited to Aqara’s own Zigbee devices. It’s still a massive step up from the Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4 that TechHive reviewed in the spring of 2024, addressing nearly every criticism leveled at that earlier product. And like that unit, this one comes with a remote AC-powered chime with local storage for the doorbell’s video clips, provided by a microSD card slot (card capacities up to 512GB are supported, but you’ll need to provide one). The chime can get quite loud: up to 95dB. The Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410’s most transformative feature is invisible: It’s a full-fledged smart home hub. Aqara wisely carried over that earlier doorbell camera’s facial recognition feature, while boosting its video resolution from 1080p to 2K (2048 x 1536 pixels) and adding millimeter wave (mmWave) motion detection. All that said, Aqara did make one significant change that will disappoint some buyers; one that might even prevent a few G4 owners from considering an upgrade. More on that in a bit. Design, durability, and weather resistance The Aqara G410 video doorbell doesn’t feature a sleek design, but the ringer button is easy for visitors to locate. Aqara The industrial design of Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 very closely resembles that of the earlier G4 model, measuring 5.57 × 2.56 × 1.2 inches (HxWxD). It’s available in black or gray, both available on Amazon, but there’s also a Select model that’s available in black or white. It’s unclear if the Select model has any additional features beyond a three-month HomeGuardian trial, compared to the 1-month offer that comes with the base model. Like the G4, the G410 is rated IPX3 for protection from the elements. According to our IP code guide, that means Aqara makes no claims for protection against particulate matter ingress, but that the camera is protected against water sprayed at up to a 60-degree angle on either side of vertical. Given that mild IP code, I would recommend installing this doorbell under an eave or awning and not subjecting it to extremely wet climates. Installation and setup It took me less than 15 minutes to set up the Aqara G410, from unboxing to completion. The remote chime I mentioned earlier doubles as a Matter-certified smart home hub (it’s a Matter bridge and controller and a Thread border router). It bears repeating, however, that its Zigbee radio can only control Aqara’s own Zigbee products. But before you get to any of that, you’ll need to charge the doorbell’s battery by plugging the provided USB-C to USB-A cable into a AC adapter (one that you’ll need to provide). I’d previously installed the Aqara phone app during testing of the excellent Camera Hub G3, and that app controls setup for the G410 as well. There’s not much in the way of printed instructions, but once the app recognizes the G410, the in-app directions are clear, and it was easy to connect the doorbell to my Wi-Fi network. The doorbell comes with a small screwdriver to help with installation. You’ll need it to separate the backplate for adding the batteries or attaching the electrical wires for power. James Barber/Foundry The G410 can operate on battery power, but it can also take advantage of hardwired power (from a 12V-24V AC or DC transformer) if you’re replacing an existing wired doorbell, or if you want to pull wire to a newly installed transformer. Your existing chime, however, will not work with the new doorbell. Nearly every video doorbell I’ve tested has been too wide to fit in the narrow gap between my home’s doorframe and brick façade, so I opted for a wireless installation. I installed six AA batteries into the unit and stuck it to the wall next to my front door, using the angled shim to give a better view of someone standing on my porch. While I’m sure the doorbell’s adhesive option would work well on glass or tile, or wood, fiber-cement, vinyl, or similar types of siding, it’s not appropriate for brick. I had to reattach the unit with some industrial strength mounting tape after a week because doorbell’s adhesive failed and it fell off the wall. That’s not meant as criticism of the G410, it’s just an advisory to anyone who wants to install the doorbell on masonry: Be prepared for the messy task of drilling holes and hammering lead anchors into them. I installed Aqara’s hub/chime unit in my kitchen, about 20 yards from the doorbell, which is much further than Aqara’s recommendation of a distance less than 5 meters (about 16 feet). Aqara also recommends the chime be no further than 20 meters (about 66 feet) from your Wi-Fi
