GoPro Set To Launch Two New Cameras, Including Hero 13 Black
The latest version of the company’s flagship action camera will be revealed on September 4, along with a second, more compact device.
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.

NEOPAY Wants To Follow Merchants Across Channels And Borders
A controlling 65% stake in noon payments would give NEOPAY access to marketplace sellers, online merchants and the payment flows they generate.
It’s been a long time since checkouts were single defined places. A merchant might take payments at a physical register, on its own website and through an online marketplace, sometimes in more than one country. NEOPAY wants to follow those transactions wherever they happen.
The UAE payments company has entered into an agreement to acquire a 65% controlling stake in noon payments. NEOPAY already runs the acquiring infrastructure that lets merchants accept card payments, along with omnichannel acceptance and a merchant services platform. This new deal would add noon payments’ embedded payments platform, e-commerce gateway and merchant network across the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. That would considerably expand both NEOPAY’s digital commerce capabilities and its regional reach.
For merchants, the attraction is a single provider for online and in-store payments, plus faster settlements, data and analytics, and value-added financial services.
“Payments should be simple, reliable, and built for the markets they serve,” said Faraz Khalid, CEO of noon. His counterpart at NEOPAY, Vibhor Mundhada, added: “We have built a strong payments business in the UAE, and our ambition is now to take that capability across the region”. The acquisition, Mundhada added, would “expand our footprint into Saudi Arabia and Egypt” while reinforcing NEOPAY’s position at home.

NEOPAY is also keen to point out potential payment volume increases. The company says noon payments’ integrations with marketplace sellers and online merchants create high transaction density in some of the region’s fastest-growing digital commerce segments. It also believes control of the business would give it access to those merchant relationships and payment flows, and speed up the rollout of alternative payment methods and installment options.
The combined roadmap targets faster merchant onboarding, better payment performance, tighter fraud controls and embedded financial services. The deal could also strengthen cross-border payments and settlement along key regional commerce corridors.
