This week's launches felt less about chasing the next big flagship and more about making everyday tech a little better. We have Mini LED TVs under Rs 30,000, Type-C charging smartwatches, a router backup battery for power cuts, a budget 5G phone and a fresh new look for Sony's flagship headphones.

It's Friday again, and if you've been following tech launches this week, you've probably noticed that a lot of the action happened in the more affordable segment. Xiaomi brought Mini LED TVs to India at surprisingly accessible prices, Boat launched a pair of Type-C charging smartwatches for under Rs 3,000, and Portronics introduced a gadget that could save your Wi-Fi from giving up during the next power cut.

There were a few other interesting launches too. Sony refreshed its flagship headphones with a new colour option, SanDisk tapped into World Cup fever with football-themed storage devices, and brands across categories kept the launch announcements coming.

So, if you've missed anything over the past few days, here's a quick look at everything that arrived this week.

Xiaomi TV FX Mini LED Series

Xiaomi has expanded its premium smart TV lineup in India with the launch of the new TV FX Mini LED Series. Available in 43-inch, 55-inch, 65-inch and 75-inch sizes, the new range brings Full Array Mini LED technology to a more affordable price segment. The TVs support HDR10+, feature local dimming zones for better contrast, and come with Dolby Audio-powered quad speakers. Gamers also get a 120Hz Game Booster mode, while built-in Fire TV handles streaming apps, recommendations, and voice controls.

The Xiaomi TV FX Mini LED Series starts at Rs 29,999 and will go on sale from June 11. You can pick one up through Xiaomi's website, Amazon, Flipkart, Xiaomi retail stores, and other authorised retail partners across India.

Lava Bold N2

If you're looking for a new phone without spending flagship money, Lava has a new option on the table. The company has launched the Bold N2 5G, a budget smartphone that focuses on two things many buyers care about most: a big battery and a smooth display. It comes with a 6.75-inch HD+ screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, a 6,000mAh battery, the UNISOC T8200 processor, 4GB RAM and Android 16. Lava has also included an IP64-rated design and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.

The Lava Bold N2 5G is priced at Rs 12,999, although it will be available at a special launch price of Rs 11,999. The phone goes on sale from June 9 exclusively through Amazon and comes in Regal Gold and Billionaire Blue colour options.

Sony WH-1000XM6 in Sandstone finish

We quite liked Sony's WH-1000XM6 when it launched, and this week the company gave its flagship headphones a fresh new look. Sony has introduced a new Sandstone colour variant, bringing a softer and more understated finish to its premium noise-cancelling lineup. Aside from the new colour, everything else remains the same. The headphones still feature Sony's HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN3, 12 microphones for adaptive noise cancellation, studio-tuned audio developed with mastering engineers, 360 Reality Audio Upmix for Cinema, and enhanced call quality.

The Sony WH-1000XM6 in the new Sandstone finish will be available from June 4 at a best-buy price of Rs 39,990. You can pick it up through select Sony Centres, Amazon, Croma, Reliance Digital stores and Sony's ShopatSC online store.

Boat Storm Call 4 and Ultima Vogue 2

Do you know how many gadgets around you now charge over USB Type-C? Quite a few, probably. Boat is now trying to add your smartwatch to that list with the new Storm Call 4 and Ultima Vogue 2. The company claims these are India's first smartwatches with direct USB Type-C charging, which means no more hunting for a proprietary charging dock. The Storm Call 4 comes with a 1.96-inch HD display, Bluetooth calling, IP68-rated protection, over 100 sports modes and health tracking features. The more premium Ultima Vogue 2 steps up to an AMOLED display with up to 1,000 nits brightness, a metallic frame and similar fitness and wellness tracking capabilities.

The Boat Storm Call 4 is priced at Rs 1,599, while the Ultima Vogue 2 costs Rs 2,799. The Storm Call 4 is currently available for pre-booking through Boat's website and will go on sale from June 12 across the company's online store and major retail platforms.

Portronics Kinetics 8K, an 8000mAh Mini UPS Power Bank

We've all been there. You're in the middle of a work call, watching a match, or finally getting through that Netflix series, and then the power goes out. Along with it goes your Wi-Fi. Portronics thinks it has a fix for that with the new Kinetics 8K, a compact Mini UPS designed to keep routers, modems and compatible security cameras running during power cuts. It packs an 8,000mAh battery and can provide up to five hours of backup, depending on the device connected. The unit also supports multiple output options, including 5V, 9V and 12V DC outputs, along with USB-A and USB-C ports, making it useful for more than just your router.

If unreliable electricity is a regular headache, the Portronics Kinetics 8K is available at a launch price of Rs 1,699, down from its MRP of Rs 2,999. It comes with a 12-month warranty and is available through Portronics' website, Amazon, Flipkart and other online and offline retailers across India.
