Tech toy news, every day
Gaming
The PlayStation 2 Duo uses a flexible OLED salvaged from a Royole FlexPai phone, a miniaturized PS2 motherboard and custom controller hardware. The enclosure is one you can 3D print yourself, though The Verge says it is still far from pocketable.
Drones
The A1 Follow Me Bundle swaps the goggles for a Watch Remote with a 1.72-inch touchscreen and GPS plus a Ring Remote for Drag-to-Fly, cutting the price from $1,599 to $799. The 8K 360 drone ships with full propeller guards that push it to 351 g, so US pilots need to register it with the FAA. The Verge crashed it three times in testing but called the A1 the best beginner drone it has tried.
More than 200 licensed games from Bandai Namco and Capcom, including Pac-Man and six versions of Street Fighter II, with SmartGlow lit controls, HDMI out and 4-5 hours of battery. It launches this holiday season at GameStop and EB Games Canada.
Gaming
The button-only fighting-game controller adds a 1.47-inch display for input monitoring, button mapping and RGB, a magnetic wrist rest, and a 3,000mAh battery that charges in four hours. It ships November 30 in N Edition and White.
LEGO
Turn the flower bouquet on top of the piano in LEGO Icons set 11388 and it plays a tune. 3D Adept says it is only the second 3D-printed element in a retail LEGO set. The 5,682-piece set costs $549.99 and lands November 4.
A 3.33-inch 4:3 screen, MediaTek Helio G85, Android 12 and a 3,500mAh battery in about 165 g. $89 (2GB/32GB) or $109 (3GB/64GB), shipping near the end of October.
A mechanical lock lets players step back by leaning, and the Power Edition charges a headset while you play. On sale October 27; only 100 units ship immediately, the rest by mid-November.
E-Rides
A 400 W motor (800 W peak) tops out at 20 mph, with 40 mm front suspension, tubeless tires and traction control. The 276 Wh battery gives up to 25 miles in Eco mode, or about 11 at full speed.
