ASUS ZenBeam Latte is a cup-sized projector

Source: ASUS

ASUS' new compact projector might remind you of your favourite cup of coffee. The ZenBeam Latte L1 comes in the form factor of the drink it's inspired by, and we can't help but be charmed by its shape. It has a built-in speaker that ASUS claims is enhanced by its fabric exterior. It's about the size of a Bluetooth speaker, and with its Harman Kardon 10-watt speaker and Bluetooth connectivity, it can act like one for as long as 12 hours on a single charge.

Of course, you'd want to use it as a projector. It can project images ranging from 40 inches to 120 inches, and it has a modest 300 lumens of brightness courtesy of LEDs. Its battery life is projected (pun unintended) to last around three hours, which should get you through two relatively short movies or one blockbuster.

Samsung debuts new Galaxy Buds Pro earbuds

The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro has also leaked ahead of the official Unpacked event, so there isn't much of a surprise here. It looks like a cross between the Galaxy Buds Live and Galaxy Buds+, which means it is less bean-like than its predecessor.

As we've seen in the leaks, it introduces Intelligent Active Noise Cancellation, which offers adjustable ANC that allows you to lower the level of noise cancellation in areas when it doesn't need it. It also has Ambient Sound, which lets you hear what is happening around you without needing to take these wireless earbuds off.
