GoPro is preparing to unveil two new action cameras this year, with the launch date officially confirmed as September 4. One of the new models is expected to be the GoPro Hero 13 Black, while the other could be a smaller, more compact action camera.

A hands-on video of the Hero 13 Black has already surfaced online, giving fans a glimpse of what’s to come. GoPro also made an official announcement on X, stating that the launch event is scheduled for September 4 at 5:00 PM (Dubai Time). The teaser video released by the company hints at the design of both new cameras, though the model names haven’t been confirmed just yet.

Judging by the reveal, it’s likely that one of the models is indeed the GoPro Hero 13 Black, with the second camera possibly being a smaller “mini” model. This widespread assumption is also supported by a promotional banner on GoPro’s official website, which confirms the release of two new cameras.

Tipster Igor Bogdanov (@Quadro_News), known for his reliable tech leaks, shared a hands-on video showcasing the GoPro Hero 13 Black. The video highlights the camera’s screen and displays the “13 Black” label next to the sensor. Additionally, the right side of the camera features the power/mode button and “13 Black” branding.

Earlier reports have already indicated that the GoPro Hero 13 Black will likely retain the same camera and recording features as the Hero 12 Black. It’s expected to include a 27-megapixel sensor capable of recording in 5.3K and 4K at 60 and 120 FPS, respectively. The camera might also incorporate HyperSmooth 6.0 image stabilization and HDR capabilities, similar to its predecessor.

Google Pay has officially launched in Lebanon, allowing Android users to make secure, contactless payments via their smartphones. The rollout has been quickly supported by BLOM, BLF, Whish Money, Bank Audi, and its digital banking offshoot Neo Digital Bank. Customers of all three services can now add eligible Mastercard and Visa payment cards to their Google Wallets.

The integration enables in-store tap-to-pay transactions, as well as online and in-app purchases, using the same cards users already carry. For Bank Audi and Neo Digital Bank, the launch covers Mastercard products; for Whish Money, BLOM, and BLF it includes Visa cards. Payments are processed through the Google Pay platform, which maintains cardholder privacy while extending standard card protections.

To begin using the service, customers can download the Google Wallet app from Google Play, select “Add to Wallet,” and follow a short verification process. Once set up, payments can be made with a single tap — eliminating the need to carry physical cards or cash.

“This launch represents a significant milestone in our commitment to digital innovation and customer convenience,” said Toufic Koussa, CEO at Whish Money. “By making Whish Visa Card available on Google Pay, we’re enabling our customers to make everyday transactions faster, more secure, and more inclusive. It’s about giving them the tools they need to transact seamlessly, wherever they are”.

The move follows the official activation of Google Pay in Lebanon on June 24, 2025, and marks a notable expansion of mobile payment options in a market where Apple Pay has yet to gain traction. Google’s entry is expected to increase digital wallet adoption among Android users and pave the way for further collaborations with regional financial institutions.
