XElectron launches ARZOPA portable monitor lineup in India

XElectron has expanded its display portfolio in India with the launch of the ARZOPA Series, a new range of ultra slim Full HD portable monitors designed for work, travel and entertainment. The lineup includes four screen sizes 14 inch, 15.6 inch, 16.1 inch and 17.3 inch, all built around IPS panels with wide 178 degree viewing angles and a metal body with a built in kickstand.

The monitors support plug and play connectivity through dual USB C ports and HDMI, making them compatible with laptops, desktops, tablets, smartphones and gaming consoles such as Xbox and PlayStation. All variants offer a 60 Hz refresh rate, while a dedicated 16.1 inch model features a 144 Hz panel aimed at gamers. Integrated speakers enable on the go audio, and no drivers are needed for setup.

XElectron says the ARZOPA series is crafted for students, professionals and creators who need flexible multi device productivity. Prices start at Rs 10,790 for the 14 inch model and go up to Rs 15,999 for the 144 Hz 16.1 inch and 17.3 inch versions. The monitors are available on Amazon and through select retail partners.

Apple pushes second iOS 26.2 release candidate as public rollout nears

Apple is moving quickly toward the final release of iOS 26.2. The company has begun seeding the second release candidate to developers and testers, arriving only a week after the first RC. This update carries build number 23C54 and is expected to be the last stop before the software reaches all users.

The earlier beta cycle had its share of hiccups. Beta 2 introduced AirDrop issues that Apple has now resolved, although the RC notes still list several known problems. For anyone outside the testing program, it makes sense to wait for the stable build rather than jump in early.

A release candidate typically signals that the public rollout is very close. With RC2 now in circulation, the official iOS 26.2 update should land within days.

Apple is also looking ahead. iOS 27 is shaping up to be a performance focused upgrade with AI driven features forming a core part of the next cycle.
