ZimaOS 1.8 Adds Photos, a Private Self-Hosted Photo Library

Shanghai – October 16, 2026 -- ZimaOS 1.8 is available now and adds ZimaOS Photos, a self-hosted photo library that stores every picture on your own ZimaOS device instead of a subscription cloud service. Existing users get it by updating to the latest release.

Browse by year, month or day, or just describe the scene

The library replaces the generic thumbnail grid with a continuous stream of memories. Year, Month and Day views let you scroll at your own pace or jump back through years of photos.

Search works by description: type out a scene and Photos returns matching shots, which you can gather into albums. A Collection section resurfaces older images through interactive map views, Favorites and personalized Memory highlights.

20 Lenovo and ANTGAMER Monitors Earn Native Gaming Certification

Shanghai – October 15, 2026 -- Twenty gaming monitors from Lenovo's Legion line and HKC's ANTGAMER brand are among the first to earn TÜV Rheinland's new Native Gaming Performance Certification, which rates displays from three to five stars.

The standard was officially launched at the 23rd China Digital Entertainment Expo & Conference (ChinaJoy) in July 2026. It targets a familiar problem: higher refresh rates and shorter advertised response times do not necessarily mean clearer, more stable visuals, especially when those specs rely on overclocking, undisclosed reductions in display quality or compromises in stability.

Overclocked refresh rates are excluded from certification

The framework defines three refresh-rate operating modes: native, overclocked and dual-mode. It applies a "same mode, full-system testing" principle, and refresh-rate overclocking is excluded from certification.
