Xiaomi Electric Scooter 5 Max Launched With 1000W Motor And 37 Miles Range

At MWC 2025 in Barcelona, Xiaomi unveiled its latest electric scooter, the Xiaomi Electric Scooter 5 Max, featuring a powerful 1000W motor and a range of up to 60 km (37 miles) on a single charge. Designed for urban commuters, the scooter boasts a sleek, foldable carbon steel body, capable of supporting weights up to 120 kg (264.5 lbs). With a top speed of 20 km/h (12.4 mph), it is equipped to handle inclines of up to 22%, making it suitable for varied terrains.

The scooter is powered by a 477 Wh battery, which can be fully charged in 3 hours using a fast charger or 9 hours with the standard charger. It features 10-inch tubeless tires, dual shock absorbers, and a dual suspension system—hydraulic spring at the front and dual spring at the rear—ensuring a smooth and comfortable ride. Safety is enhanced with a dual braking system, combining a front drum brake and a rear electric brake, along with a traction control system (TCS) for improved stability, especially on wet surfaces.

 

The Xiaomi Electric Scooter 5 Max also includes a multifunctional display on the handlebar, showing speed and battery levels, and is equipped with an automatic headlight, a red rear light, and IPX5 water resistance for the body (IPX6 for the battery). It can be controlled via the Xiaomi Home app, compatible with both iOS and Android devices.

Priced at €599.99 (~$622), the scooter is available in black and can be purchased through Xiaomi’s official website. Alongside the scooter, Xiaomi expanded its AIoT lineup with the launch of the Xiaomi Buds 5 Pro, Watch S4, and a new color for the Smart Band 9 Pro, reinforcing its commitment to smart, connected devices.

Firefly’s Blue Ghost lander successfully touched down on the moon

Firefly Aerospace’s first attempt at landing on the moon was a success. The company, which is working with NASA under the agency’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program, announced early Sunday morning that its Blue Ghost lander softly touched down on the moon, and it’s upright and communicating with the team back home. Blue Ghost landed at 3:34AM ET in a region known as Mare Crisium. While Firefly’s lander isn’t the first commercial spacecraft to land on the moon, it is the first to land properly — Intuitive Machines’ Odysseus ended up on its side last year after a faster-than-planned descent.

Blue Ghost and the NASA instruments it’s carrying are expected to remain in operation for about 14 Earth days. After that, lunar night will begin. If all goes as planned, the lander will capture images in the leadup to lunar night and a few hours after darkness falls, getting high-definition imagery of a total eclipse, the lunar sunset and other moments to document the behaviour of levitating lunar dust. NASA is also testing instruments that can drill and collect samples from the surface.

Firefly’s Blue Ghost Mission 1 launched on January 15 and reached lunar orbit about a month later. The team says it’s already sent over 27 GB of data back to Earth from its journey. “Just through transit to the Moon, Firefly’s mission has already delivered the most science data to date for the NASA CLPS initiative,” Shea Ferring, Firefly’s Chief Technology Officer, said in a statement, noting that the hardest part of the mission is over. On X, the company shared a photo showing the lander’s shadow on the surface of the moon following its successful touchdown, and joked, “The lander saw her shadow, 2 more weeks of ops!”

Honor MagicBook Pro 14: Fast and Feature-Packed Laptop

At MWC 2025, Honor announced the latest addition to its lineup of laptops: the MagicBook Pro 14. This sleek and powerful device was recently announced for the Chinese market but it is now bound to the rest of the world. It offers a range of features that make it a very attractive option for those in the market for a new laptop.

The MagicBook Pro 14 has an Intel Core Ultra 5 225H or Intel Core Ultra 9 285H processor. This means users who need faster performance have a practical option. Additionally, the laptop offers a range of RAM options, including 16, 24, and 32GB, ensuring users have ample memory for their tasks. For example, this could be an excellent computer for digital nomads.

The real showstopper, however, is the display. The 14.6-inch OLED panel boasts an impressive 3K resolution (3120 x 2080), with a peak brightness of 700 nits and a refresh rate of 120Hz. Some models also come equipped with a touchscreen, adding an extra layer of interactivity to the device.

It has good connectivity options, including two full-featured USB 3.2 Type-C ports for charging and data transfer. These ports support speeds of up to 10 Gbit/s, while the two USB-A ports offer slower transfer rates of 5 Gbit/s. Additionally, users will find an HDMI 2.1 port, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a fingerprint sensor integrated into the power button. We would have liked having a Thunderbolt port, too.

Port TypeSpeedDescription
USB 3.2 Type-C (x2)10 Gbit/sFor charging, data transfer, and display output
USB-A (x2)5 Gbit/sFor connecting peripherals such as flash drives or keyboards

There’s a Full-HD webcam for video conferencing or online meetings. The laptop also comes equipped with two speakers and three microphones. Finally, the device is powered by a huge 92Wh battery that Honor says can provide around 12 hours of runtime for office applications.

Overall, the Honor MagicBook Pro 14 is an impressive addition to the company’s lineup of laptops. With its powerful processor options, remarkable display, and connectivity features, this device has something to offer everyone. While there is currently no information on a global launch or potential price point, fans of the brand will be eager to get their hands on this latest offering.

Meta Plans Standalone AI App To Compete With ChatGPT And DeepSeek

Meta is reportedly planning to launch a standalone app for its AI assistant, Meta AI, in an effort to compete directly with OpenAI’s ChatGPT and the Chinese chatbot DeepSeek. Currently, Meta AI is integrated across the company’s platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, Threads, and WhatsApp. However, a dedicated app would allow users to access the AI without needing to engage with Meta’s social media services.

According to sources cited by CNBC, this move aligns with Meta’s broader strategy of making its AI more widely accessible. ChatGPT and DeepSeek already offer standalone applications, making interactions more seamless and convenient for users. By introducing an independent Meta AI app, the company aims to attract individuals who are interested in AI-powered chat but may not use Meta’s other products.

This strategy is similar to what Meta has done with Instagram’s Reels, which was separated from the main app to better engage users who prefer short-form videos. The expected launch of the Meta AI app is set for the second quarter of 2025, meaning it could be available between April and June.

The standalone app is likely to include the same AI-driven features already available within Meta’s existing platforms. However, industry analysts believe that this launch could also pave the way for a paid subscription model for Meta AI in the future. By offering premium features or an ad-free experience, Meta could explore new revenue streams in the competitive AI chatbot market.

As of now, Meta has not officially confirmed these plans or provided further details about the potential app. However, if launched, it would represent a significant step in the company’s AI expansion strategy, positioning Meta AI as a direct rival to other leading chatbot platforms.
