Hisense 116UX review: Two minute review

The Hisense 116UX is the brand’s flagship 4K TV, and it introduces RGB mini-LED technology to the world in a 116-inch screen size. Some elements of its picture rival the best TVs, and it has a wide array of features, but its appeal is limited by key shortcomings.

With a launch price of $29,999 / £24,999 / AU$39,999, the Hisense 116UX is an expensive TV that will exceed most budgets. And while it features exciting new RGB mini-LED tech, Hisense will also be introducing RGB mini-LED in 100- and 85-inch models in the future, and more buyers are likely to gravitate to those.

The 116UX’s bold, vibrant colors take mini-LED to the next level. Textures are crisp, and the high brightness gives pictures a strong level of punch. Contrast and black levels are mostly good, but backlight blooming and inconsistent backlight control lead to a clouding effect in some dark scenes that hamper what would otherwise be a remarkable picture. Even with the TV’s large size, viewing angles are limited, with pictures losing contrast when viewed from off-center seats .

A 6.2.2-channel sound system delivers mostly solid performance, with immersive effects, impressive accuracy and clear dialogue. Bass has good impact, but the 116UX’s soundstage isn’t as wide as I’d hoped for. A screen this size deserves one of the best soundbars to match, ideally a premium option like the Samsung HW-Q990F.

The 116UX is great for gaming, with 4K 165Hz, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, ALLM and Dolby Vision gaming all supported across three HDMI 2.1 ports. While its 14.6ms input lag time is higher than the best gaming TVs, its overall gaming performance is good enough for an enjoyable experience on a big screen.

This TV’s high price is hard to ignore, and even though the 116UX features an RGB mini-LED panel and has a gargantuan screen size, you can build a truly great home theater system with some of the best 4K projectors at this price. The 116UX will deliver better value when its price drops, but right now, it’s a big ask.

Hisense 116UX review: Features

(Image credit: Future)

  • RGB mini-LED panel
  • Hi-View AI Engine X processor
  • Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10+ and IMAX Enhanced support

The 116UX features Hisense’s RGB mini-LED panel, which uses RGB mini-LEDs to produce a wider, more refined color gamut. HDR support includes Dolby Vision IQ and HDR10+, as well as the HDR10 and HLG formats. It also supports IMAX Enhanced and Filmmaker Mode.

Hisense’s flagship TV comes equipped with a 6.2.2-channel speaker system, totaling 110W in power. It supports Dolby Atmos, but not DTS. Alongside the usual sound presets – Standard, Movie, Sport – it also has AI sound, which adapts the sound and dialogue based on both the content showing onscreen and the viewing environment.

The 116UX’s gaming features include 4K 165Hz, VRR including AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, Dolby Vision gaming and ALLM support. All features are supported across the TV’s three HDMI 2.1 ports.

Hisense’s smart TV platform varies by region. Google TV is used in the US, while Hisense’s own VIDAA smart TV platform features in the UK and Australia. I reviewed the UK version, so I used VIDAA, which has access to popular streaming services like Netflix and Prime Video, and also UK apps such as BBC iPlayer and ITVX.

Hisense 116UX review: Picture quality

Color is where the Hisense 116UX really shines, thanks to its RGB mini-LED panel (Image credit: Disney / Future)

  • High brightness and brilliant color
  • Refined detail
  • Black uniformity issues

The 116UX’s peak HDR brightness hit 5,441 nits and fullscreen HDR brightness was 1,090 nits, with both measured in Filmmaker Mode. That peak brightness result is over twice what I measured on the Hisense 110UX, a TV that uses a standard mini-LED panel.

The 116UX’s measured HDR color gamut covered 99.3% of the DCI-P3 color space, which is an excellent result for a mini-LED TV. Its BT.2020 color gamut coverage was even more impressive at 92.64%, which is the highest amount we’ve measured on a TV to date.

I first started my testing with some SDR content, beginning with an HD stream of Fight Club on Disney+. I chose Filmmaker Mode but set brightness and local dimming to medium as the picture was too dim at the default settings. I was impressed by the 116UX’s effective upscaling of textures, which gave the picture a crisper look. Even at a 116-inch size, the image was clean. Lower resolution content on YouTube didn’t fare as well, with the image looking blocky on the large screen.

Color is where the 116UX shines – literally. Watching Elemental on Disney Plus in Dolby Vision IQ picture mode, reds and oranges were vibrant and punchy, with the 116UX’s brightness adding real pop in a scene where Ember makes a vase. In Wicked on 4K Blu-ray, pink flowers in a tree in the ‘Wizard & I’ scene had a bold look, as did the greens of the Emerald City.

The 116UX sometimes handles dark scenes well (1) but struggles with others (2), even in the same movie, as shown here with Alien: Romulus(Image credit: Future)(Image credit: 20th Century Studios / Future )

As I’ve discovered with most Hisense TVs, motion handling requires a bit of setup. I watched a stream of a soccer game on Prime Video and found that most motion presets worked, but either Standard or Custom, with Blur set to 3 and Judder set to 5, produced the smoothest image. This was also true for movie viewing, as a scene from No Time To Die where a camera pans across a rocky hillside looked much smoother with the above settings.

Textures looked consistently crisp and realistic on the 116UX, with close-up shots of people’s faces showing fine details such as marks or hair. Clothing was also true-to-life and given a 3D look.

Watching black and white scenes from Oppenheimer on the 116UX, whites looked bright and there was a good range of gray tones. Blacks were slightly raised, but they still looked solid. The 116UX also delivered good shadow detail in darker scenes, such as objects against dark walls in a scene where Strauss and Oppenheimer are in an office after their first meeting.

Dark scenes ultimately were a mixed bag on the 116UX. Blacks appeared rich and deep in some instances, such as the Spears & Munsil UHD Benchmark 4K Blu-ray’s demo footage, but they came across as more of a dark gray in movie scenes from The Batman and Alien: Romulus. While contrast was also strong in these movies, there was a clouding effect across the screen in dark sections of the image. Strangely, one exterior space shot in Alien: Romulus demonstrated good accuracy in the blacks, but another in a dark tunnel revealed the clouding effect at its worst.

The 116UX also demonstrated some backlight blooming around bright objects against dark backgrounds when viewed from off-center. Plus, the clouding issue became more apparent when viewing from more extreme angles.

I reached out to Hisense regarding dark scene viewing and the clouding effect and it said it was aware of and looking into it, but couldn’t provide a fix at this time. If there are any updates, I’ll be sure to add them to this review.

  • Picture quality score: 4 / 5

Hisense 116UX review: Sound quality

The 116UX delivers decent built-in sound, but overall a screen like this deserves a soundbar to match (Image credit: Future)

  • 6.2.2-channel speaker array
  • Clear, expansive, accurate sound
  • Only average soundstage

The 116UX comes with a built-in 6.2.2-channel, 110W Devialet sound system that supports Dolby Atmos, but not DTS. It has subwoofers built into the rear of the screen, with two speakers running down each side of its frame and height speakers positioned on the top of the TV.

Watching the Batmobile chase scene from The Batman, the 116UX accurately connected the sound to the action on screen. The overall sound was punchy with clear dialogue. The 116UX’s sound was also immersive at times, going beyond the borders of the screen and making Dolby Atmos effects, such as rain in The Batman, feel as if they’re overhead.

While the 116UX’s built-in sound system is good, at times it felt restrained. Bass in particular lacked fullness. And while there was some suggestion of surround effects, I expected a sound system like this to produce a wider soundstage.

Some people will be happy with the 116UX’s sound, but I feel it deserves a sound system to match its gargantuan, cinematic picture.

  • Sound quality score: 4 / 5

Hisense 116UX review: Design

Image 1 of 2

The 116UX uses metal feet to support its heavy weight (Image credit: Future)But the 116UX is surprisingly thin despite is large size(Image credit: Future)

  • Sleek, modern design
  • Weighty and cumbersome
  • Basic support feet

At 116 inches, the 116UX requires a large space. Its big screen will be too cumbersome for most living rooms and, unlike retractable projector screens of a similar size, it will dominate a space.

Hisense has done its best to make the 116UX appear as sleek as possible while still housing a substantial built-in sound system. Its frame is trim, and it’s made of a premium-looking black metal. As a result, the 116UX is an incredibly weighty 239lbs (108kg), meaning you’ll need to carefully consider installation, although there are two carry handles on the rear. The TV is supported by two metal feet, which, although plain, are expected for a TV this size.

The 116UX comes with Hisense’s solar remote, which is reminiscent of Samsung’s SolarCell remote and can be charged using the rear solar panel or by USB-C. It has a nice design with a burnished steel finish and feels more premium than Hisense’s standard TV remotes.

Hisense 116UX review: Smart TV & menus

VIDAA (Hisense’s smart TV platform in the UK) has plenty of picture settings and good app access (Image credit: Future)

  • Google TV (US), VIDAA (UK & Australia)
  • Good number of picture settings
  • Performance can lag at times

Like all Hisense TVs, the 116UX’s smart TV platform will be different based on your region. In the US, it uses Google TV, and in the UK and Australia, it uses Hisense’s own VIDAA smart TV platform. I reviewed the 116UX in the UK, so I will be focusing on VIDAA. Check out our Hisense U8Q review to read about a Google TV Hisense model.

VIDAA has access to all major streaming services such as Netflix and Prime Video, and all UK-based streaming services such as BBC iPlayer and ITVX. It also supports Freely, a service in which you can watch live TV over Wi-Fi with no need for an antenna or satellite connection.

There are a good number of picture settings on the 116UX. VIDAA’s overall look is plain and not as user-friendly as LG’s webOS, and the 116UX’s overall performance during navigation suffered from lag on occasion. VIDAA could do with a visual overhaul, as it does look dated in some of its menus.

Hisense 116UX review: Gaming

The Hisense 116UX has great gaming features and impressive picture quality for gaming (Image credit: Future)

  • 4K 165Hz, AMD FreeSync Premium
  • 14.6ms input lag
  • Three HDMI 2.1 ports

The 116UX has impressive gaming features, such as 4K 165Hz, VRR including AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, ALLM and Dolby Vision gaming, and these are all supported on three HDMI 2.1 ports. There is also a 288Hz game booster mode for PC gaming and a Game Board pop-up menu that displays useful information such as frame rate and VRR, as well as settings that can be adjusted, such as Dark Detail.

Gaming performance on the 116UX is generally smooth and responsive. Playing a demo of Dynasty Warriors: Origins on PlayStation 5, the action felt fast-paced and chaotic as expected at both 60Hz and 120Hz. I noticed during gameplay that the frame rate varied a lot in the 120Hz Performance mode, but I chalked this up to the game itself, due to its rendering of many enemies on screen.

The 116UX’s measured input lag is 14.6ms, which is higher than rivals like Samsung and TCL, but still under the 15ms threshold most gamers look for.

Hisense 116UX review: Value

The Hisense 110UXN comes with Hisense’s premium remote, which has both a USB-C port and a solar cell on the bottom rear for charging (Image credit: Future)

  • Expensive
  • Similarly priced to big-screen OLED TVs
  • Much pricier than the 110-inch 110UX

At $29,999 / £24,999 / AU$39,999, the Hisense 116UX is a pricey, premium TV. It may come with an exciting, new RGB mini-LED panel that produces superb brightness and color, but that’s still a lofty price, even for a TV this feature-packed.

At this price range, you can pick up some of the best projectors on the market, such as the JVC DLA-NZ800 ($15,999 / £15,999 / AU$24,999). It won’t have the 116UX’s brightness, but it will still produce an excellent picture. Plus, you can build an entire home theater system around it with the same budget.

The 116UX is also much pricier than the step-down 110UX ($14,999 / £18,999 / AU$24,999), and while it delivers better performance and picture quality, that’s still a significant price gap.

How I tested the Hisense 116UX

(Image credit: Future)

  • Tested in light controlled testing room
  • Tested SDR and HDR sources for picture quality

I tested the Hisense 116UX in a light-controlled demo room at Hisense Europe HQ in Leeds, England.

I first established which picture modes I would use for my testing with some casual viewing. For my critical viewing, I used several reference scenes from both SDR (broadcast TV and streaming) and HDR sources (4K Blu-ray and streaming). I tested the 116UX’s picture for brightness, color, shadow detail and contrast, screen uniformity, upscaling and motion. I also used these same sources to test the UX116’s audio performance. To play 4K Blu-rays, I used the Panasonic DP-UB820 4K Blu-ray player.

I also tested gaming performance and features using a PlayStation 5.

Measurements for the Hisense 116UX were taken by my colleague Matthew Murray, Head of Testing at Future, at a separate event in the US.

These tests included peak (10% window) and fullscreen (100%) SDR and HDR brightness, measured on a white window test pattern.

HDR color gamut was also measured, examining the DCI-P3 and BT.2020 color spaces. Color and grayscal accuracy were measured using Delta-E values (the margin for error between the test pattern signal and what’s shown on screen).

Finally, the TV’s input lag was measured using a Leo Bodnar 4K HDMI Input Lag Tester.

SEC Silence Stalls Litecoin ETF Decision as LTC Price Holds Near Monthly Highs

by admin October 4, 2025


Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure

Litecoin (LTC) remains steady near its monthly highs despite new regulatory setbacks, as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) failed to act on Canary Capital’s proposed spot Litecoin STF. The deadline passed on Thursday without any update, leaving the much-anticipated product in limbo.

The delay occurs at a crucial time for crypto ETFs, coinciding with a U.S. government shutdown that has hampered financial oversight and added to the complexity of the approval process.

SEC Misses Deadline as Litecoin ETF Rules Shift

The SEC was expected to decide on Canary’s application by Thursday, but no update was issued. Analysts observe that the delay may be due not only to the shutdown but also to a broader shift in how crypto ETFs are managed.

Earlier this year, the SEC began phasing out the traditional 19b-4 filing process, which has been historically associated with strict deadlines, in favour of S-1 registration statements.

Bloomberg ETF analysts James Seyffart and Eric Balchunas argue this transition means old deadlines “no longer matter” under the regulator’s evolving framework. Instead, approval timelines may now depend on the SEC’s broader review of new listing standards, making the process less predictable.

Shutdown Complicates ETF Reviews

The U.S. government shutdown is intensifying the delays. Although the SEC continues with limited operations, its contingency plan, published in August, confirmed that reviewing new financial products, including ETF filings, would be paused during a shutdown.

This has left Canary’s Litecoin ETF, along with several other altcoin-based products, in a holding pattern.

Pending applications for Litecoin, Solana, XRP, Cardano, Avalanche, and Dogecoin ETFs are among those affected. These would build on the success of spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, which have already attracted more than $74 billion in inflows.

However, Litecoin faces additional scrutiny, as its regulatory classification remains less clear than Bitcoin’s status as a commodity.

Litecoin Price Remains Resilient

Despite the regulatory uncertainty, Litecoin’s price has stayed resilient. At the time of writing, LTC was trading around $118, approaching a two-month high of $122.

Analysts suggest that if the token can surpass resistance near $121, a new rally might be triggered. The consistent upward trend indicates investor confidence that approval is more a matter of timing rather than rejection.

Market observers describe the SEC’s silence as more of a “rain delay” than a denial. Once the shutdown concludes and new listing standards are fully implemented, analysts expect the ETF decision process to speed up.

Analyst Says XRP Price Target Of $27 Still Holds – ‘The Ride Has Just Begun’

by admin October 4, 2025


Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure

A new technical analysis by crypto analyst ChartNerd has predicted the long-term trajectory of the XRP price. According to the expert, the cryptocurrency could be gearing up for a new all-time high, with price targets set at an impressive $27. Already, XRP is showing signs of building momentum after its recent rebound from the $2.8 level, but ChartNerd suggests that “the ride has just begun.”

XRP Price Structure Points To $27 ATH

ChartNerd’s latest analysis on X social media outlines XRP’s long-term price structure, which has been forming since its 2018 all-time high of $3.84. After peaking and then spending nearly seven years suppressed and consolidating within a symmetrical triangle, the altcoin has finally broken free of its constraints. This breakout had triggered an explosive rally in the cryptocurrency’s price, carrying it from $0.5 to $3.6 this year in rapid succession. 

Despite this impressive performance, ChartNerd explains that XRP’s price rally is far from over. The cryptocurrency’s structure suggests a much larger expansion is on the horizon, with Fibonacci Extension levels reinforcing the case for a $27 price target. Specifically, the 1.618 Fibonacci extension on the chart has been pointing to $27 ever since XRP’s 2018 high. A surge to this level would see the cryptocurrency exploding by an impressive 800% from current levels around $3.

With the symmetrical triangle pattern now broken to the upside, the long-term chart suggests the token is finally ready to move toward higher levels. The analysis identifies critical points in the cryptocurrency’s bullish journey: a breakout impulse that shattered descending resistance, a new cycle of ascending support, and the confirmation of the previous Fibonacci targets. ChartNerd concludes his analysis by urging traders to prepare for a ride that has only just begun. 

Analyst Says XRP To Hit $5 First

In addition to his long-term projection, ChartNerd presented a short-term analysis that predicts XRP could skyrocket from its current price of $3 to $5, representing a roughly 66% surge. He shared a price chart that shows the cryptocurrency displaying a classic Bull Flag formation—a pattern that often signals bullish continuation after an upward move. 

During the time of his analysis, ChartNerd noted that XRP was bouncing off its 20-week Exponential Moving Average (EMA) around the $2.77 level, a key area of support to prevent further declines. The Bull Flag structure is clearly visible on the chart, featuring a strong flagpole that moves upward, followed by a period of consolidation within a downward-sloping flag. 

The breakout target from this Bull Flag formation points directly to the 1.618 Fibonacci Extension at $5.35. ChartNerd emphasized that while the altcoin still has work to do, holding above the 20-week EMA and breaking through flag resistance are critical to fueling this projected rally. More importantly, he says that the current Bull Flag pattern lies inside a larger flag with a bullish target set at $15.

Will Dogecoin price hit $1 if the SEC approves DOGE ETF this month?

Will Dogecoin price hit $1 if the SEC approves DOGE ETF this month?

by admin October 3, 2025



Dogecoin price has bounced back in the past few days as investors bought the recent dip after it bottomed at a crucial support level in September.

Summary

  • Dogecoin price has rebounded after falling to a crucial support level. 
  • The SEC is expected to approve the Grayscale and Bitwise DOGE ETFs this month. 
  • DOGE will likely not hit the resistance at $1 in the near term. 

Dogecoin (DOGE) rose to $0.2630, up 16% from its lowest level in September. This article explores whether it will jump to $1 if the Securities and Exchange Commission approves spot DOGE ETFs later this month.

Dogecoin price may rally ahead of spot ETF approval

DOGE price could be on the cusp of a strong bullish breakout as the Securities and Exchange Commission nears its decision on two exchange-traded funds by Grayscale and Bitwise.

Analysts, including Bloomberg’s Eric Balchunas, expect that the agency will approve most of the applied ETFs. He cited the recently released generic standards list, which includes the details that it will look at during the approvals. 

One of the criteria is the availability of a regulated futures product. Dogecoin futures already exist, raising the odds of an approval.

Also, the agency has already approved the spot DOGE ETF under the Investment Company Act of 1944. That fund, whose ticker is DOJE, was listed in September and has accumulated over $21 million in assets. 

Its success suggests that the other funds could be more successful because they will likely have a lower expense ratio.

Dogecoin price will also benefit from the ongoing Uptober rally that has boosted other cryptocurrencies.

Will DOGE price hit $1?

Dogecoin price chart | Source: crypto.news

The daily timeframe chart shows that the Dogecoin price bottomed at $0.2200 in September and then bounced back to $0.2631. Its lowest level coincided with the lower side of the ascending channel.

The coin has now moved above the 50-day and 100-day Exponential Moving Averages. Moving above these levels is a highly bullish sign as it means that bulls are gaining control.

Therefore, the most likely scenario is that the coin continues rising as bulls target the year-to-date high of $0.3088, which is about 20% above the current level.

For DOGE to reach $1, the price would need to rise by more than 250% from the current level. This surge will likely not happen, as it is in the process of forming a rising wedge pattern. A rising wedge is made up of two ascending and converging trendlines, with a breakdown happening when these lines near their confluence.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs Record $1.08B In 4-Day Volume: Fueling Price Momentum

Spot Bitcoin ETFs Record $1.08B In 4-Day Volume: Fueling Price Momentum

by admin October 3, 2025


Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure

Bitcoin is holding strong above the $120,000 level, reinforcing bullish sentiment after a series of volatile weeks. The market now turns its focus to the $125,000 mark, which analysts describe as a critical resistance zone. A decisive break above it could open the door to fresh all-time highs, but for now, traders remain cautious as this level has historically attracted strong selling pressure.

Despite the looming resistance, optimism is growing among bullish analysts who see room for continuation in the current cycle. The argument is supported by renewed institutional interest and robust inflows into Bitcoin investment products. Top analyst Maartunn recently shared insights pointing to a key driver of this momentum: Spot Bitcoin ETFs.

According to Maartunn, these ETFs have generated high trading volumes over the past several days, providing a steady stream of demand that is pushing prices higher in unison. This collective effect underscores how institutional vehicles are playing an increasingly central role in shaping Bitcoin’s price action.

Spot ETF Volume Surges as Bitcoin Faces Uncertain

Maartun has highlighted fresh data showing that Spot Bitcoin ETFs have processed $1.08 billion in trading volume over the last four days, adding fuel to Bitcoin’s latest push above the $120,000 level. This volume surge supports Maartun’s view that ETFs are playing a central role in sustaining Bitcoin’s bullish momentum, providing consistent inflows that are keeping demand elevated. In his analysis, such strong institutional participation reflects growing confidence in Bitcoin as an asset class, especially as it continues to gain traction among US investors.

However, the picture isn’t entirely clear-cut. The coming days promise to bring heightened volatility, with macroeconomic uncertainty weighing heavily on risk assets. Tightening financial conditions—driven by persistent inflation concerns and cautious Federal Reserve policy—have already begun to limit liquidity across markets. On top of that, the looming threat of a US government shutdown injects an additional layer of instability. Historically, events of this nature have impacted investor confidence, creating sharp swings in both equities and crypto.

Against this backdrop, Bitcoin finds itself at a critical juncture. If ETF-driven demand continues, BTC could decisively break higher, targeting fresh all-time highs beyond $125,000. On the other hand, should macro pressures intensify and liquidity dry up, Bitcoin could face a sharp correction, potentially marking the beginning of a more prolonged bearish phase.

Bitcoin is holding above $120,000, a level that has quickly become a focal point for both bulls and bears. The chart shows BTC reclaiming momentum after bouncing strongly from the $112,000–$113,000 zone last week, where the 100-day moving average provided key support. The decisive break above $117,500 resistance marked the start of this rally, and BTC has now pushed into the $120K region, a level that previously acted as heavy resistance in August.

Short-term momentum looks bullish, as the daily candles show a sequence of higher lows and strong buying pressure. The 50-day moving average has turned upward, aligning with the broader bullish structure. However, BTC now faces the challenge of consolidating above $120K to target the $122,500–$125,000 zone, which analysts view as the next critical resistance before new all-time highs.

On the downside, $117,500 now acts as a strong support level. If Bitcoin fails to sustain above $120K, a retest of this zone would not necessarily break the bullish structure but could extend consolidation.

Dogecoin Price Anomaly Forces Massive Long Liquidations in Four Hours

Dogecoin Price Anomaly Forces Massive Long Liquidations in Four Hours

by admin October 3, 2025


Dogecoin (DOGE), the king of the meme coins, has recorded downward movement despite the bullish momentum in the broader sector, with a focus on Bitcoin (BTC). In the last 24 hours, Dogecoin’s price has dropped by over 2.5%. This anomaly has triggered massive liquidation for DOGE bulls.

$1.56 million Dogecoin wiped out in just four hours

CoinGlass data shows that, in the last four hours, Dogecoin investors betting long on the meme coin have suffered 2,925% losses as the price failed to rise with the broader market. DOGE, valued at $1,560,000, was wiped out within this short period due to the meme coin’s poor performance.

Short traders were also affected by the price outlook. Bearish investors still recorded some losses, although mild. These traders lost $51,580 within the same time frame.

Notably, the meme coin failed to rise as it faced stiff resistance as it approached the $0.2620-$0.2640 zone. The price range is significant as Dogecoin, worth over $660 million, was offloaded at this level during the market downturn.

It has remained a pivotal point for the meme coin, as most holders go for profit each time DOGE climbs close to it. Dogecoin bulls might need to show more support to break the pattern.

As of press time, Dogecoin is changing hands at $0.2569, which represents a 0.62% decline in the last 24 hours. The meme coin earlier dipped to a low of $0.2509, testing the $0.25 support before recording a slight upward move.

Despite the price drop, market participants remain active as volume has stayed in the green zone. Trading volume is up by 2.75% to $3.17 billion, suggesting likely accumulation by investors taking advantage of the dip.

Could broader market rescue DOGE?

Interestingly, the Dogecoin price showed signs of promise about 48 hours earlier, as it confirmed a golden cross. Market participants and investors alike interpreted the bullish sign of the start of an “Uptober” rally. The current situation might not be a cause for worry if ecosystem bulls step up.

Worthy of mention is that investors had maintained a bullish outlook on the meme coin at the start of the month by committing about $3.96 billion to Dogecoin’s future derivatives market. Such a surge in open interest signals the level of confidence from members of the community.

The coming days will reveal how DOGE performs, particularly as Bitcoin is witnessing a rally on the broader market. The leading crypto asset might positively impact the king of meme coins.

Aptos price targets 56% upside on bullish reversal pattern

Aptos price targets 56% upside on bullish reversal pattern

by admin October 3, 2025



Aptos price has confirmed a bullish reversal pattern amid new ecosystem partnerships.

Summary

  • Aptos price is up 30% over the past 7 days.
  • World Liberty Financial has launched its stablecoin USD1 on Aptos.
  • The total value locked and stablecoin supply on Aptos has increased noticeably.

According to data from crypto.news, Aptos (APT) was trading at $5.12 on Oct. 3 afternoon Asian time, up 5% over the past 24 hours and 30% over the last 7 days. 

The token’s daily trading volume peaked at nearly $1.2 billion today, almost double the level seen at the start of the period, showing robust demand from traders. 

Investor interest has also been notable in the derivatives market. According to DeFiLlama, open interest in APT futures climbed from $323 million to more than $436 million at the time of writing, while the weighted funding rate turned positive, both signs that a larger number of traders are starting to open long positions as they remain bullish on the token’s future outlook.

A slew of catalysts have been supporting the tokens’ gains in recent days.

First, Aptos has recently announced a partnership with World Liberty Financial (WLFI) that will bring the USD1 stablecoin to the Aptos blockchain. The launch is scheduled for Oct. 6.

With USD1 currently the sixth-largest stablecoin by market cap at around $2.7 billion, its launch is expected to significantly enhance Aptos’ position in the DeFi space by attracting more trading, lending, and liquidity provision activity to its ecosystem.

Second, Backpack, a multichain wallet and app platform, has introduced native support for Aptos. The development could help boost Aptos adoption as it lowers entry barriers for new users.

At the same time, DeFiLlama data shows that rapid growth in Aptos-based DeFi protocols has pushed the total value locked on the Aptos blockchain from $28 billion in April to over $75 billion at press time. The stablecoin supply on the network has also climbed 5% in the past seven days, reaching $1.09 billion.

On Aptos, the rise in TVL alongside the expanding stablecoin base is a sign that users are not just parking assets temporarily but are actively engaging with the network’s lending protocols, liquidity pools, and decentralized exchanges.

Finally, the broader market rally, coinciding with October’s historical trend as a bullish month for Bitcoin and the crypto market as a whole, has also kept any sort of bearish pressure at bay.

At press time, the crypto Fear and Greed Index had moved into the greed zone, up from fear just a week ago.

On the daily chart, Aptos has broken out of a multi-month descending triangle pattern, characterized by a flat lower trendline acting as support and a descending upper trendline forming resistance. A breakout from this pattern leads to a bullish reversal, as momentum shifts in favor of bulls.

Aptos price moved above the upper trendline today and successfully retested it as support, which further cemented the bullish outlook among traders.

The Supertrend indicator has also flashed a green signal as it moved below the price level. On top of that, the MACD line has crossed above the signal line, with both trending upward.

Based on these positive technical signals, the next target for APT lies at $8.20, derived by adding the height of the triangle formed to the price point at which the breakout occurred. This target remains 56% above the current price levels.

A drop below $5 would invalidate the setup and could trigger renewed pressure from bears, exposing the token to further downside.

Microsoft says its “trying to reinforce” Xbox Game Pass price increases “by adding more value”

by admin October 3, 2025


Microsoft says it “understand[s] price increases are never fun for anybody” following its decision to raise the prices of Xbox Game Pass tiers.

Speaking to The Verge, Microsoft director of gaming and platform communications Dustin Blackwell said that it is “trying to reinforce” its offerings by “adding more value to these plans” alongside the price increases.

“It’s something we don’t take lightly, and we’re listening to the feedback of players and the community to try and provide them with more of what they’re asking for.”

Earlier this week, the firm announced it was increasing the most expensive tier of Game Pass, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, from $19.99/£14.99 to $29.99/£22.99 per month.

It also announced rises of Xbox Game Pass Standard – renamed Xbox Game Pass Premium – and PC Game Pass.

Blackwell noted the price increases reflected additional content added to the service, specifically its Ultimate tier.

“[Game Pass Ultimate] will now include access to more than 400 titles globally, this includes the majority of our partners who want to continue to bring their future games to Xbox Game Pass,” he noted.

“We’re also now giving access to more than 75 day one releases each year. That’s a 50 percent increase over the day one titles we provided last year.”

Last week, Microsoft also announced it would be bumping up the prices of its Xbox Series X|S consoles for a second time in the United States.

Costs will rise from between $20 and $70 across its hardware range.

Henry Quick Corded review: a robust vacuum that punches above its cheap price tag

Henry Quick Corded: two-minute review

The Henry Quick Corded is one of the most unique vacuums I’ve tested. It’s a stick vacuum, but it’s also both corded and bagged. And it has a face. In terms of features, it’s far from the flashiest model on the market; but it’s solidly built, functional, and comes with an extremely affordable price tag.

Corded vacuums tend to offer more power than cordless models, and that’s just about true here. The Henry Quick Corded isn’t the suckiest vacuum I’ve used, but it still packs enough power to offer a solid clean in low-traffic homes (although it does have an unfortunate tendency to sometimes spit out dirt it previously cleared).

The bags and cord will divide opinion. The emptying process here is pleasingly free from clouds of escaped dust (good news for allergy-sufferers) but I’m not thrilled about the extra waste being created, nor would I necessarily trust myself to remember to replace the bags. Similarly, while I love not having to worry about running out of charge mid-clean, using the Henry Quick Corded in a four-storey house meant more instances of the cable becoming tangled and a therefore a great risk of trip-hazards than I was comfortable with.

Incidentally, both might be good news in terms of longevity – corded vacuums often last much longer than cordless ones, and the presence of a bag means there’s far less danger of ultra-fine particles making their way into the motor and causing issues. Add to that the chunky, robust build (from a brand that’s known specifically for making indestructible canister vacuums), and I’d predict the Numatic Henry Quick will last far longer than the average budget vac.

I like the fact you could turn the brushroll on or off – switching it off is the way forward when tackling chunky debris, because it meant more dirt was sucked up and less was flung across the room. Other vacuum brands should take note.

The lack of anti-hair-wrap features turned out to be a bit of an issue, though – my armpit length hair started to become tangled around the brushroll almost immediately, needing to be ripped out with the aid of scissors. I haven’t had to clear hair like this for some time, and it was quite the unwelcome blast from the past.

There are some compromises, but I still think you’re getting solid value for money here – the Henry Quick is one of the best cheap vacuums I’ve used. I also applaud Numatic’s trend-bucking approach. Most modern vacuums look exactly the same and offer similar features – it’s very rare to see cords and bags in the stick vacuum space, and both have their place as an option.

Henry Quick Corded review: price & availability

  • List price: £160
  • Launched: September 2025
  • Available: UK

The Henry Quick Corded launched in September 2025, and is available in the UK only, exclusively at Argos. With a list price of £160, it sits firmly in the budget price bracket, and is the cheapest vacuum I’ve tested in a long time. The fact that it isn’t available at a range of retailers means there might not be quite so many discounts available – although, at time of writing, there was already £30 off at Argos, just a couple of weeks after the product launched.

I think you’re getting a really solid product for that price. If you’re not fussed about fancy features and don’t need ultra-powerful cleaning, it’s an especially strong recommendation.

In terms of what’s around in a similar price bracket, the Dreame R20 is often available for around £200. This model is cordless and has an Auto mode where the power will intelligently ramp up and down. If you want a corded stick vacuum, you’ll find a model in Shark’s range – but what’s available and at what price is a bit of a Wild West. At the time of writing, it’s the Stratos Pet Pro for £250.

Henry Quick Corded review: design

  • Corded stick vacuum with regular and “+” power modes
  • 1L bags made from recycled material; easy-empty system
  • Vacuum is solidly built, but rather long and heavy

The Henry Quick Corded is that rarest of things: a corded stick vacuum. So it looks roughly like your average cordless stick vacuum, except you plug it into the wall. The cable is 10m long, which is probably the most common length for corded vacuums, although some brands go shorter.

That gives you plenty of room to maneuver, without feeling like you’re too tethered to the wall, and there are clips on the wand around which you can wind the cable when the vacuum isn’t in use.

Corded vacuums tend to be more powerful than cordless models, and they often last longer, too. So if you can cope with the slight inconvenience the cable brings, there are potentially big benefits.

(Image credit: Future)

That’s not the only unusual thing about the Henry Quick Corded: it also uses bags to collect the dust. The “pod” holds a generous 1-liter of dust before it needs replacing, and I received several spares in the box with the vacuum. It’s released via a chunky flap on the main part of the machine.

Again, there are pros and cons of bagged vs bagless vacuums. Bags create less mess and can be a good choice for those with allergies, who are looking to minimize opportunities for particles to escape back into the air. They can also be better at trapping very fine particles. However, there’s the cost and annoyance of having to purchase bags, and the extra waste created. To Numatic’s credit, the Henry Quick pods are made from up to 65% recycled material, and “climate positive” as the brand is carbon offsetting all its pods, globally.

The iconic smiley Henry face is present and correct, although it doesn’t work quite as naturally here as it does on the brand’s canister options. The machine itself feels very tall for a stick vacuum. With the floorhead flat on the ground, it measures in at around 126cm tall, whereas my Dyson Gen5detect is 114.5cm, and the Dyson V8 is around 113.5cm. You can see all three below, for scale.

When placed next to a Dyson Gen5detect (middle) and V8 (bottom), the Henry Quick looks seriously chunky (Image credit: Future)

Interestingly, this vacuum turns on and off with a one-press button rather than a trigger. Overall, the controls are basic: there are no whizzy screens here. The power button launches standard mode, and pressing the “+” sign unleashes the higher-powered mode. There’s no automation and no low-power option, as you might find on a pricier model. There’s also no battery indicator – it isn’t needed.

The iconic Henry face is present and correct… if a slightly awkward inclusion (Image credit: Future)

Unusually, there’s a third button to switch the beater bar (brush roller) in the floorhead on and off. I’ve never seen this option before on a modern vacuum, but I guessed it was for tackling delicate floors or hard floors (the roller is mostly to agitate the carpet fibers and loosen dirt hiding within, so it’s not required so much on hard floors where all the dust is sat on the surface). On test, I found it was also great for tackling chunky spillages – more on that in a second.

There’s a headlight in the floorhead, which is on by default, but switches off when you disable the brush roller. I’m not sure the logic of that decision, but it’s so dim that it doesn’t make a difference anyway.

The roller in the floorhead can be switched on and off (Image credit: Future)

Thoughtfully, Numatic has added microfiber strips across the front and underside of the floorhead, the former presumably to prevent scratches if you accidentally hit a wall, and the latter to help sweep dust on hard floors. The roller doesn’t come with any anti-hair-wrap features; but if you press the red button you can release the roller to cut hair off as required. A chunky slider lets you adjust the amount of air that can get in, to make it easier to push.

It comes with a Crevice tool and 2-in-1 brush tool for detail work, and like all stick vacuums can be dismantled and reconfigured for use as a handheld.

  • Design score: 3.5 out of 5

Henry Quick Corded review: performance

  • Decent suction on hard floors and carpet, but can spit debris back out
  • The ability to switch the roller off is great for handling chunky debris
  • Hair wraps around the roller

In general use, the Henry Quick Corded felt a little heavy but easy enough to maneuver. There are pros and cons to the button operation – it’s great for longer vacuuming sessions, but annoying if you want a quick clean-up and don’t have a hand free to press the button (here it feels especially far away from the hand grip).

You’ll need a second hand free to reach the On button (Image credit: Future)

The thing with having a bag is that you can’t see how much dust you’ve busted. However, it felt like the Henry Quick Corded was doing a solid job of clearing dirt and pet hair from my floors.

I turned out to be a fan of the no-brushroll mode, because it’s much better for tackling chunky spillages without pinging particles all over the place. The boost mode is clearly a lot more powerful than the standard mode – I could hear things amping up considerably when I switched it on.

Clips help keep the cord tidy when not in use (Image credit: Future)

In general, I didn’t find the cord too annoying. However, testing in my home with four floors meant there were plenty of stairs to navigate, and at that point I did find myself wishing I was using something that was less of a trip hazard (and if I’m honest, lighter and smaller, too). I appreciate that Numatic has added a neat storage solution for the cable when the vacuum isn’t in use, though.

Hair began wrapping around the brushroll after cleaning a single room (Image credit: Future)

This vacuum does a decent job of sucking up pet and human hair. However, the lack of anti-hair-wrap features on the floorhead was immediately noticeable – my armpit-length hair quickly tangled itself around the brushroll. After testing numerous vacuums that don’t have this issue, it felt like an unwelcome blast from the past to have to painstakingly remove the roller and dig out the kitchen scissors to cut away the tangles.

Suction tests

To gain a more objective view of this vacuum’s suction power, I ran a series of standardized suction tests to see how well it coped with fine (loose, dry tea) and chunky (oats and dry lentils) debris.

On carpet, the Henry Quick Corded pulled up most of the tea on the first pass in standard mode, leaving a light sprinkling that took a few more passes to remove completely. It also picked up most of the oats and lentils, again leaving a smattering that required a few more passes to fully clear. However, it did spit a few oats and lentils out from its floorhead once I’d finished the cleaning session.

That’s a decent result. (Later, I found that the vacuum picked up chunky debris slightly better with the brushroll turned off, because the rollers didn’t flick bits everywhere.)

I ran the same test with a Dyson V8 cordless alongside, and the pickup in standard mode was very similar with both machines. You can see the results below.

I repeated the test on a hard, tiled floor. This time, I switched the brushroll off, and it cleared everything in a single pass. Not a complete win, though, because I could see bits of debris lingering in the floorhead. I switched the roller back on to try to encourage it to make its way up the wand. This worked to a certain extent, but when I came to lift up the vacuum it still dropped a light sprinkling of tea onto the floor.

I used a mixture of the same products to test how well the vacuum coped with cleaning up to the edges of rooms. It took a few passes to clear everything, as you can see in the video below, but the Henry Quick got decently close to the edge of the room.

Overall, some solid, if not wildly impressive, cleaning results from the Henry Quick Corded. I’d probably recommend it to someone whose home has more hard floors than carpet, and who isn’t dealing with tons of dirt or pet hair. I especially like the extra level of control available by being able to switch the roller on or off to suit the situation.

How I tested the Henry Quick Corded

I spent a couple of weeks using the Henry Quick Corded as my regular vacuum cleaner. I used in a four-floored house with mostly carpeted rooms, but also some engineered wooden flooring and tiled bathrooms and kitchens. It’s home to one long-haired and one short-haired human, and a Cocker Spaniel that likes to molt everywhere.

As well as getting a general feel for its cleaning performance – including how well it handles hair – and ease of use, I also ran a series of standard suction tests. For these, I sprinkled fine (dry tea) and chunky (oats and dry lentils) debris onto hard floors and carpet, and recorded how efficiently the vacuum cleared them. I ran the same tests alongside an older and newer Dyson cordless stick vacuums to see how the three compared. I also assessed how the Henry coped with cleaning along the edges of rooms.

Lego Brick-Built Star Wars Logo Gets First Price Cut Before Prime Big Deal Days

by admin October 3, 2025



A large selection of Star Wars Lego sets are on sale ahead of next week’s Prime Big Deal Days sale. Amazon’s deals include a bunch of new Star Wars building sets released over the past few months. Arguably the most notable recent model on sale is the Brick-Built Star Wars Logo. The 700-piece replica display model was already a budget-friendly option at its $60 MSRP, but now it’s on sale for only $50. The Brick-Built Logo is one of several Star Wars Day 2025 Lego sets up for grabs for below MSRP.

$50 (was $60)

The Brick-Built Star Wars Logo accurately depicts the legendary design that dates back to Star Wars: A New Hope’s 1977 theatrical release. Exposed studs between the letters add depth and make it clear that this is a Lego set. The rounded edges of the logo are cleverly recreated with a variety of yellow pieces. There’s an Easter Egg hidden inside the letter T that pays homage to Episode IV.

The completed 700-piece model measures 5 x 11.5 x 1 inches. If you’re looking for a Star Wars model to serve as a centerpiece for your display shelf, it probably doesn’t get any more ideal than the series logo constructed from Lego.

The Brick-Built Star Wars Logo launched a few months after the 913-piece Lego Marvel Logo set. That one has yet to be discounted from its $100 price, and it comes with five Marvel minifigures that pop out by pressing buttons on the model.

Amazon & Walmart Deals: New Lego Star Wars Sets

Lego Star Wars: Rebel U-Wing Starfighter | Jango Fett’s Starship

Other Star Wars Day 2025 sets with discounts include the Rebel U-Wing Starfighter and Jango Fett’s Starship for $60 (was $70) each. Jango Fett’s Helmet, another Star Wars Day release, is $65 (was $70). Two Walmart-exclusive Star Wars Day sets, Kylo Ren’s Helmet and his Command Shuttle, are available in a bundle together for $98 (was $140). Walmart also has the Darth Maul Mech bundled with the Sith Infiltrator for $62 (was $88). The Darth Maul Mech launched in June. Both of those are makeshift bundles, but Walmart also has an official Lego Star Wars 3-in-1 Gift Set Bundle for $45.

Amazon also has a few sets that launched over the summer for below MSRP. The Battle Droid with STAP 1,088-piece model is $130 (was $140). Meanwhile, The Clone Wars V-19 Torrent Starfighter, which launched in August, is down to $52 (was $65). And if you haven’t picked up your 2025 holiday calendar, the new Lego Star Wars Advent Calendar is on sale for $38 (was $45).

Lego is retiring a bunch of Star Wars Lego sets soon, including ultra-popular display models like Darth Vader’s Helmet. Check out our roundup collecting all of the deals on Lego Star Wars sets that won’t be around for much longer.
