Samsung is already ramping up its next chip, the Exynos 2700. The SoC finished design late last year, and right now the company’s cranking out mass-production samples with a target finish somewhere around May or June this year.

Park Yu-ak over at Kiwoom Securities (via Yonhap News Agency) is projecting the Exynos 2700 could land in roughly 50 percent of the Galaxy S27 lineup if the second-gen 2nm (SF2P) process holds up.

Exynos 2700’s supposed to hit a process capability rate above 95%. Samsung is banking on that to push GPU performance even further past Qualcomm, which is ambitious but not completely delusional given where Exynos 2600 surfaced.

Additionally, the Exynos 2700 is getting an even more advanced packaging setup. Right now, Samsung’s talking like the Exynos 2700 is going to be better than the chip that was already better than Snapdragon in some ways.

Exynos 2600 is about survival, proving that Exynos wasn’t dead weight anymore. The Exynos 2700 is about dominance, or at least that’s how Samsung’s positioning it internally.

System LSI designs these chips, Foundry makes them, and both have been bleeding credibility for years. Wider Exynos adoption will help Samsung reduce its reliance on Qualcomm.

Samsung is moving fast because it has to. Chip prices for phones and PCs have spiked globally, Qualcomm is not getting cheaper, and the company can’t afford another lost generation of Exynos.

A semiconductor industry insider commented:

“If Samsung succeeds in restoring its reputation with the Exynos 2600, then the 2700 will be the product that truly demonstrates its technical competitiveness in the mobile AP space. If Exynos volumes continue to expand going forward, it is likely to make a major contribution to improving the performance of both the Foundry and System LSI divisions.”

A supposed bargain is currently causing considerable discussion: The Chuwi CoreBook X, which is officially advertised with an AMD Ryzen 5 7430U, has an older Ryzen 5 5500U installed. This system software has also been manipulated and deceives the user. This not only raises the question of performance, but also severely damages trust in the manufacturer's product specifications.

Galaxy S26 Ultra preorders are outpacing everything Samsung has launched before, and by a margin that has the company’s Korea chief casually dropping Guinness references at MWC.

Im Sung-taek, Samsung Electronics Korea’s executive VP, told SK Telecom’s president in Barcelona that Galaxy S26 series preorders are up roughly 15% compared to the S25 launch; the Ultra variant accounts for 70% of that lift.

“This may well be a Guinness,” Im said (via ETNews), which is either confidence or a very blunt admission that Samsung has finally cracked the premium conversion problem it’s chased for years.

The Galaxy S25 series hit about 1.3 million pre-orders last year, a record at the time. Simple arithmetic puts the S26 somewhere around 1.5 million units, and that’s with two days still left in the pre-sale window.

Ultra is eating everything

Here’s the thing: 70% of that 15% bump is Ultra. Samsung’s premium push is succeeding, but it’s succeeding narrowly. The base S26 and S26 Plus aren’t lighting fires, but filling shelf space while Ultra does the heavy lift.

Im Sung-taek, Executive Vice President and Head of Samsung Electronics Korea, met with SK Telecom President Jeong Jae-heon at MWC 2026 in Barcelona, Spain, and stated:

“Galaxy S26 series sales have increased approximately 15% compared to the previous model, with the Ultra model accounting for 70% of that figure.” He added, “This may well be a Guinness [world record].”

Privacy Display

Galaxy S26 Ultra is the world’s first smartphone equipped with Privacy Display, a feature that adjusts visibility based on who’s looking at the screen.

Mobile Agentic AI

Mobile Agentic AI, Samsung’s latest branding exercise for what used to just be called “AI stuff.” This time, the company claims it’s meaningfully more useful in everyday scenarios, not just demos.

The post Samsung talks ‘Guinness Record’ as Galaxy S26 approaches 1.5 million preorders appeared first on Sammy Fans.

Deal | The Humble Bundle Choice selection has been updated, and for March 2026, the platform is offering eight well-rated Steam Deck-playable games. There's one award-winning title included as well.

AnTuTu's latest Android performance leaderboard has some interesting entries. The Honor MagicPad 3 Pro, being the only Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 tablet on the list, takes top spot, but in third place sits an Intel-powered tablet—the H3C MegaBook.

Privacy Display is getting incorporated into Good Lock in a new development. Samsung is rolling out an updated version of One Hand Operation + plugin. It brings regular improvements and an add-on specifically to the S26 Ultra.

One Hand Operation + lets Samsung users improve the phone’s accessibility. It unlocks a set of new features that help navigate throughout the interface. It also offers convenient tools that ease handling single-handedly.

The update (via LarrySWhite) primarily resolves the gesture malfunction glitch that occurs upon screen rotation. Samsung also highlights bug fixes and stability improvements as part of its continuous efforts to elevate the usability.

For the Galaxy S26 Ultra, One Hand Operation + adds “Privacy display action.” It expands the feature’s activation set beyond existing options.

Privacy Display can be launched from the Quick Panel and the side button. It has a dedicated page inside the system Settings menu. Double-pressing the side button quickly activates on-device protection without much intervention.

With the tool joining One Hand Operation +, the ease of enabling Privacy Display improves further. The plugin is already popular among Galaxy fans, given its benefits; the latest add-on gives it more reasons to be on the S26 Ultra.

Samsung is already accepting preorders for the Galaxy S26 series. Privacy Display is a hardware-driven feature, exclusive to the S26 Ultra. The tech comes at a cost of reduced display quality and brightness over its predecessor.

Samsung is pivoting to a smaller panel size for its Fan-Out Panel-Level Package process, and if the timing holds, the Galaxy S28’s Exynos new chip tech could be the first flagship AP to actually use it.

The company is betting hard on a packaging tech that’s been hiding in plain sight. Plans include ditching the 600×600mm panels used for years in favor of 415×510mm, via Jukan.

It will be smaller, more controlled, and less warping, which has been the silent killer of FO-PLP ambitions since day one. Right now, FO-PLP only shows up in Galaxy Watch chips.

Watches got the experimental treatment. Flagship phones stuck with proven methods. Now the 415×510mm panels surface as the compromise that might actually work. Still about 3x more productive than legacy 300mm wafer-based processes.

TSMC’s apparently working on something even smaller, though details remain vague and Samsung’s expected to hit mass production first, likely sometime in 2027.

If Samsung can move flagship APs to this new FO-PLP setup, it frees capacity and cuts costs. Not by a little, but enough that it changes the economics of chipmaking at the high end.

The Galaxy S28’s chip may not ship with a press release about packaging tech. Samsung doesn’t work that way. But if the chip inside boots faster, runs cooler, or costs Samsung less to produce at volume, you’ll know what shifted behind the curtain.

Nothing is confirmed, and the fate of Exynos depends on consumer feedback. Even though the Exynos 2600 has made a comeback, the utilization of future products in flagship models remains uncertain.

The all-new MacBook Air M5 is here, and at first glance, it doesn’t look very different. But inside, Apple’s latest thin-and-light laptop gets a new chip, faster storage, and updated wireless connectivity, while it keeps the same design that’s defined the Air lineup for the past few years.

Apple’s new MacBook Air is powered by the company’s M5 chip. An important change is that the laptop now starts with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage as standard. 

The price also went up from $999 to $1,099 for the base, but you can’t complain. Pre-orders are opening from March 4th, and the launch is set for Wednesday, March 11. 

Same design, familiar feel

On the outside, this is still very much the MacBook Air people know. Apple is keeping the same chassis design, flat edges, a thin profile, and a lightweight build. The 13-inch version weighs 1.23kg, while the 15-inch model comes in at 1.51kg. Color options include sky blue, silver, starlight, and midnight. 

The 13-inch model continues to feature a 13.6-inch LCD display with a 2560 x 1664 resolution and a 60Hz refresh rate. Up top, there’s still a 12MP Center Stage webcam, which automatically adjusts framing during video calls. 

M5 chip takes center stage in new MacBook Air

The real story here is the M5 chip. Apple is offering two GPU configurations: one with an 8-core graphics processor and another with a 10-core graphics processor. 

The new MacBook Air M5 also allows users to customize RAM, SSD capacity, keyboard options, and even the matching power adapter. Apple claims the SSD read and write speeds are now twice as fast as the previous generation.

TECNO presented concept devices at Mobile World Congress 2026 that tackle a basic problem: AI needs more computing power than current smartphones can handle in their existing designs.

The main solution is Modular Magnetic Interconnection Technology. Users snap hardware pieces onto their phones using magnets. The system includes stackable batteries, action cameras, and telephoto lenses that connect through intelligent connectivity.

Two versions show different styles. The ATOM edition focuses on clean structure and subtle design. The MODA edition uses bold, geek-inspired looks. Both let you add capabilities outside the phone body instead of packing everything inside. This keeps the phone light for daily use while supporting high-demand tasks when needed.

POVA Ecosystem Targets Gamers

The POVA Ecosystem extends this concept across multiple devices. POVA Metal is the world’s first full-metal unibody 5G phone. It has a Snapdragon processor and all-metal construction.

POVA Controller Slide is the world’s first controller with targeted aiming for MOBA mobile games. It offers 0 to 25-degree adjustable viewing angles, works for both FPS and MOBA games, and supports wireless charging.

POVA Earphones match the ecosystem design with futuristic styling and signature dot-matrix lighting.

Edge AI Runs Directly on Phone

Edge-Side AIGC Preview Concept Technology puts AI processing on the device itself. This removes the need for an internet connection and cuts down lag time.

TECNO worked with Arm to build customized Style Transfer Preview technology. It uses algorithm optimization to reduce screen flickering and jitters that appear in older solutions. The result is a real-time preview at 30fps with smooth split-screen viewing.

The company compressed AI models to run completely offline on smartphones while keeping artistic quality and stable performance.

Other Design Concepts

AI EINK uses electronic ink technology for a paper-like display. The device uses AI recognition to analyze colors from the camera and match the back panel. Users can personalize it through a dedicated app.

TECNO Slim 2 has an ultra-thin body and 0.7mm ultra-narrow bezel.

POVA Neon is the first smartphone to use ionized inert gas lighting technology, creating a glowing effect.

The Concept Design Suite includes a laptop, tablet, earbuds, smartwatch, smart glasses, and power bank. The “Music in Motion” theme uses citrus yellow and urban gray colors.

Tri-Fold Phone Measures 11.49mm Folded

TECNO PHANTOM Ultimate G Fold Concept is the world’s thinnest tri-fold phone. The G-style tri-fold design has a 9.94-inch display that folds inward twice. This protects the main screen from scratches and impacts when closed.

The device is 11.49mm thick when folded and 3.49mm thick when unfolded. It uses 2,000 MPa ultra-high-strength steel for the hinge and ultra-strong Titan Fiber for the back cover, which is just 0.3mm thick.

TECNO displayed these concepts at Stand 7A40 in Hall 7 at Fira Gran Via in Barcelona from March 2 to 5.

It’s been over half a decade since Samsung last increased the battery capacity of its top-tier Galaxy S flagship. The company moved to a 5,000mAh cell with the Galaxy S20 Ultra back in 2020, and that figure remains unchanged in the newly launched Galaxy S26 Ultra. Instead of increasing raw capacity, Samsung is leaning on improved efficiency from the latest Snapdragon, along with performance tuning in One UI 8.5.

Meanwhile, Chinese brands like Xiaomi, OnePlus, and Honor have taken a very different approach. Their latest flagships pair the same chipset with high-energy-density batteries with capacities over 7,000mAh. So naturally, the big question is where the Galaxy S26 Ultra stands against these rivals when it comes to battery life. A recent battery drain comparison by Tech Droider attempts to put that into perspective.

The test simulated mixed real-world usage such as browsing, video playback, gaming, camera work, and the Galaxy S26 Ultra lasted 9 hours and 8 minutes. That’s actually a step up from last year’s S25 Ultra, which stopped at around 8 hours and 40 minutes in the same test. So there is progress, even if it’s not dramatic.

Where things get interesting is in the comparison. The iPhone 17 Pro Max crossed 9 hours and 41 minutes. Xiaomi’s 17 Pro Max pushed just past 10 hours. And the OnePlus 15 stretched all the way to 12 hours and 31 minutes.

That gap isn’t hard to explain. Battery size plays a role, and a big one. The OnePlus 15 carries a 7,300mAh battery, and Xiaomi’s flagship goes up to 7,500mAh. With that kind of capacity advantage, endurance gains start to look less surprising.

The pattern is becoming clearer year after year. Efficiency tweaks help, but they only go so far when rivals are increasing raw capacity by 30–40 percent.

Samsung has hinted at possible silicon-carbon adoption in future models, which could allow for larger batteries without adding bulk. If that happens, the balance may shift. For now, though, the S26 Ultra remains competitive rather than class-leading in endurance.

If you’ve been keeping up with us, you’ve already seen the early details on the Honor Magic 9 series. Now there’s more. This time, the spotlight is on the Honor Magic 9 Pro.

According to tipster Digital Chat Station, Honor is testing the Magic 9 Pro with not one but two 200-megapixel sensors on the back. One is said to serve as the primary camera, while the other would power a periscope-style telephoto lens. 

Honor Magic 9 Pro Camera Specifications (Expected)

The more interesting part is the choice of sensor. The prototype is said to be using either the OmniVision OV52B or the OmniVision OVB0D, both 200MP sensors, but with slightly different sizes and capabilities.

The OV52B reportedly comes in a 1/1.3-inch format and is expected to appear in several 2026 flagship phones. It’s designed to balance high resolution with improved dynamic range, which could help capture more detail in both bright and dark areas of a scene.

The OVB0D, on the other hand, is even larger at 1/1.12 inches and supports OmniVision’s LOFIC Gen 2 HDR technology. LOFIC, short for Lateral Overflow Integration Capacitor, is meant to improve dynamic range and reduce blown-out highlights in challenging lighting. That could make it particularly useful in a flagship device that wants to compete on image quality rather than just raw megapixel numbers.

For now, there are no confirmed details about the phone’s processor, design, or battery. The leak focuses entirely on imaging. But the tipster did confirm that the Honor Magic 9 Pro will feature a 6.85-inch display. 

As always with early leaks, plans can change. But we now at least have an idea of what Honor is preparing for its 2027 flagship lineup. The lineup could debut in October 2026.

The Redmi K90 Ultra was supposed to arrive in February — at least, that’s what earlier rumors suggested. February has come and gone, and there’s still no official word. Now, a new leak indicates the wait might stretch a bit longer.

According to a well-known Weibo tipster, Digital Chat Station, a certain manufacturer’s Dimensity 9500 flagship processor is tentatively scheduled for release in April. 

While the post doesn’t directly name the phone, the clues are hard to ignore. Based on the blogger’s previous posting patterns and discussions in the comments, many are speculating that the device in question is the Xiaomi Redmi K90 Ultra.

Redmi K90 Ultra Specifications

As for specs, the rumored hardware reads like a checklist of flagship ambitions. The phone is expected to feature a massive 6.8-inch display with 1.5K resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate. 

Powering it could be an equally massive 8,500mAh battery with support for 100W charging. Other rumored features include a metal frame, an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor, and comprehensive water resistance.

There’s also a global angle. The so-called Xiaomi 17T Pro is rumored to be a tweaked version of the K90 Ultra for international markets. Carrying the model number 2602EPTC0G, it may ship without certain features like a cooling fan. 

In any case, the Redmi K90 Ultra is expected to launch along with the Redmi K Pad 2 in China. It could come with an 8.8-inch 3K display, a flagship-level processor, and a larger 9,000mAh cell.

Samsung has announced a major update to its Galaxy for the Planet initiative, outlining fresh environmental goals through 2030. After successfully meeting its earlier 2025 sustainability targets, the company is now widening its focus beyond product design and manufacturing to address broader ecological impact across its global operations.

Galaxy for the Planet achieves 2025 milestones

Launched in 2021, Galaxy for the Planet serves as the sustainability framework for Samsung’s Mobile eXperience business. The company confirmed that it has achieved all four goals originally set for 2025, which were aimed at lowering environmental impact across mobile products and operations.

A key area of progress has been the increased use of recycled and responsibly sourced materials in Galaxy devices. Samsung now applies 10 types of recycled materials in both internal and external components, including plastics, glass and metals. It has also advanced circular initiatives such as recovering plastics from discarded fishing nets and strengthening its Circular Battery Supply Chain to reclaim materials from used batteries.

The company has phased out single-use plastics in mobile packaging, shifting to paper-based and recycled alternatives. Improvements in low standby power technology have reduced charger standby consumption to near-zero levels. In manufacturing, all qualifying mobile production sites have received Platinum certification under UL Solutions’ Zero Waste to Landfill standard, reflecting complete landfill diversion at those facilities.

With its initial targets achieved, Samsung is expanding its sustainability strategy for the remainder of the decade. The next phase centres on three priority areas: circularity, water stewardship and ecosystem conservation.

Samsung aims to include at least one recycled material in every module of every Galaxy mobile product, covering phones, tablets, PCs and watches. On water management, the company plans to return 110 percent of the water consumed in its mobile operations while pursuing the highest Alliance for Water Stewardship certification. It has also committed to conserving ecosystems equivalent to the footprint of its global mobile operations, focusing on habitat protection and biodiversity restoration.

Through these measures, Samsung is positioning sustainability as a long-term pillar of its innovation and operational strategy rather than a standalone initiative.

The post Oppo Find X9 Ultra global launch confirmed; Oppo says it is your next camera appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo officially unveiled the X300 Ultra at Mobile World Congress 2026, and now the company is sharing more details about the phone’s video chops. 

In a post on Weibo, Vivo product manager Han Boxiao laid out what he calls the key camera upgrades coming to the X300 Ultra. According to him, the X300 Ultra is aiming to be a “pocket camera” for creators.

Vivo X300 Ultra can record 10-bit Log from all three lenses

One of the headline features is what Vivo calls its “no secondary camera” Zeiss Master Lens Trinity. In practical terms, the company says all focal lengths — from wide to telephoto — will support 4K 120fps 10-bit Log recording. The same applies to 4K 120fps Dolby Vision capture and optical image stabilization across all focal lengths.

The consistency carries over into post-production. The X300 Ultra supports APV 422 professional video encoding, which Vivo claims brings output closer to what you’d expect from a dedicated camera. 

Moreover, Log footage can load and apply 3D LUTs and custom LUTs during recording, enabling real-time color calibration on set. It’s also compatible with ACES workflows, so Log clips can drop into professional cinema pipelines without heavy conversion.

As for the audio, the X300 Ultra has a four-microphone system with six preset scenes designed to enhance target audio while reducing ambient noise. 

For more casual use, Vivo is adding two cinematic color presets: Film Style and Film Look. These are designed to deliver more polished, one-tap results without requiring manual grading. The official says that sample photos and videos in these modes will be shared later.

The device is also tipped to feature a 6.82-inch 2K BOE flat display with narrow bezels and LTPO technology. It will pack the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip and a battery of around 7,000mAh capacity with 100W wired and 40W wireless charging support.

Xiaomi has introduced a new floor-standing desk lamp in China called the Xiaomi Mijia Vertical Study Lamp 2. It’s the company’s latest attempt to turn something as ordinary as a study light into a spec-heavy smart home product. So let’s walk through the details here.

Xiaomi Mijia Vertical Study Lamp 2 Specifications

The lamp is designed for rooms up to 15 square meters, which makes it suitable for bedrooms or small home offices. Xiaomi says it uses long-lasting LED beads rated for up to 17 years of use. `

The company further claims the model boosts brightness by 27 percent compared to its predecessor. It delivers a total luminous flux of 12,700 lumens, with an average illuminance of over 1,800 lux in the central area. The uniformity in that center area is rated at 1.04.

The company also says the lamp produces almost no noticeable hand shadows under the light, something that could matter if you spend long hours writing or sketching at a desk.

Like many recent Xiaomi lighting products, the Study Lamp 2 focuses heavily on eye comfort. It supports anti-glare performance with a UGR rating below 13 and offers a high color rendering index of Ra98. The lamp also has a solar spectrum fitting coefficient above 0.985, which indicates that it simulates natural daylight more closely.

There’s also a smart layer. The lamp supports AI-based automatic dimming and can detect when someone is seated. It connects to the Mi Home app and works with Xiaomi’s broader smart ecosystem. Controls include touch interaction on the lamp post itself, as well as remote operation through the app and Xiaomi’s Super AI features.

The official price of the Xiaomi Mijia Vertical Study Lamp 2 is 2,499 yuan (~ $363). It is currently available at a launch price of 2,349 yuan (~ $350), with a national subsidy bringing the final price down to 1,996.65 yuan (~ $290).

Apple has just officially unveiled the iPhone 17e as its most accessible gateway into the ecosystem. In the same way, the Pixel 10a, which debuted last month, is an entry-level phone from Google. Here’s a comparison between the two to know which one offers the best value.

Design and Durability: Minimalist vs. Modern

The iPhone 17e sticks to a familiar blueprint, utilizing a design reminiscent of the iPhone 14. It features a 6.1-inch form factor with a notch, but Apple has upgraded the toughness with Ceramic Shield 2, which it claims is three times more scratch-resistant.

In contrast, the Pixel 10a introduces a radical shift in Google’s design language by featuring a completely flush dual-camera system, removing the signature “visor” bump. It is slightly larger with a 6.3-inch display and uses a matte composite back. While the iPhone feels more “premium” with its glass back, the Pixel’s flat design is arguably more modern.

Display: 60Hz vs. 120Hz

This is where the two devices diverge most sharply. The iPhone 17e remains capped at a 60Hz refresh rate, which may feel dated to power users in 2026. However, its Super Retina XDR panel is incredibly color-accurate and bright enough for most outdoor conditions at 1200 nits peak.

The Pixel 10a wins the spec war here with a 120Hz Actua display. It offers much smoother scrolling and animations, and its peak brightness hits a massive 3000 nits. If you consume a lot of media or play games, the Pixel’s smoother and brighter panel provides a clear hardware advantage.

Performance and AI

Under the hood, the iPhone 17e is a powerhouse, packing the same A19 chip found in the standard iPhone 17. Built on a 3nm process, it offers class-leading raw performance and efficiency. It is also the most affordable way to access Apple Intelligence, bringing features like Live Translation and Clean Up to a wider audience.

Google has taken a different route, equipping the Pixel 10a with the Tensor G4 rather than the flagship G5. While it lacks the raw benchmark scores of the A19, the G4 is optimized for Google’s Gemini AI. Features like Gemini Live and Magic Cue run natively, making the Pixel feel like a “smart” companion that anticipates your needs, backed by a staggering 7 years of OS updates.

Camera Comparison

The Apple iPhone 17e features a single 48-megapixel Fusion camera. While it lacks an ultrawide lens, Apple uses sensor cropping to offer an “optical-quality” 2x telephoto mode. Its strength lies in video recording (4K/60fps with Dolby Vision) and consistent natural skin tones.

On the other hand, the Pixel 10a offers a dual-setup with a 48-megapixel main and a 13-megapixel ultrawide sensor. This gives you more versatility for landscape shots. Google’s computational photography remains the gold standard for still images, especially with Night Sight and the new AI-powered editing tools.

Battery and Pricing

The Pixel 10a is a marathon runner with its 5100mAh battery and support for 45W wired charging. The iPhone 17e has a smaller 4005mAh battery, but iOS efficiency ensures it still lasts a full day. Notably, the 17e finally brings MagSafe to Apple’s budget line, a huge win for accessory fans.

In terms of pricing, the Pixel 10a starts at $499 for the 25GB version, while the iPhone 17e starts higher at $599, though Apple has doubled the base storage to 256GB this year.

The Verdict: Ecosystem vs. Value

Choosing between the iPhone 17e and the Pixel 10a ultimately comes down to whether you prioritize a refined, high-performance ecosystem or cutting-edge display and AI features at a lower price point.

The iPhone 17e is the “safe” and powerful choice. It offers the best-in-class A19 chip, ensuring that this phone will remain fast for years to come. If you are already tied to iMessage, iCloud, and Apple Watch, or if video quality is your top priority, the 17e is a massive upgrade over previous budget models. The addition of Apple Intelligence and the jump to 256GB base storage makes the higher price tag much easier to swallow.

On the other hand, the Pixel 10a is the clear winner for tech enthusiasts who want the best hardware for their money. Its 120Hz display makes the iPhone’s 60Hz screen look dated, and the inclusion of an ultrawide lens provides photographic flexibility that Apple’s single-sensor setup simply cannot match. If you want a phone that feels “smarter” with its deeply integrated Gemini AI and you prefer a smoother visual experience, the Pixel 10a is the superior value proposition in 2026.

The Honor 600 Lite will be available in Velvet Black and Desert Gold options. The black version looks understated, while the gold model leans more toward a softer, muted finish.

As for the display, the Honor 600 Lite is said to feature a 6.6-inch AMOLED panel with a resolution of 2600 x 1200. It’s rated for peak HDR brightness of 6,500 nits. It also reportedly carries an IP66 rating for water resistance.

Under the hood, the phone is expected to run on the MediaTek Dimensity 7100 Elite processor. Furthermore, the leak reveals a 6,250mAh battery paired with 45W wired charging support.

On the camera side, the front houses a 16-megapixel f/2.2 selfie camera. On the back, there’s a 10.8-megapixel f/1.75 main sensor and a 5-megapixel ultra-wide camera. There’s no telephoto lens, which isn’t surprising at this price point, but it does mean zoom capabilities will likely rely on digital cropping.

It’s not yet confirmed when Honor will announce this smartphone. However, its appearance in the retailer listing suggests that the launch isn’t too far off.

Google has pushed its March 2026 Play System update for Android devices. These updates work on phones, tablets, Wear OS, Android TV, Google TV, Android Auto, and even PC. They improve Google services, including Play services, Play Store, and Google Play system, to make devices safer, protect privacy, and improve overall performance.

The fresh update for Google Play services improves system management features to better privacy. It works across phones, PCs, TVs, Auto, and Wear OS. The update helps Android handle background processes better and keeps your data more secure.

Google Play Store v50.4 is now available, which brings an important change. On phones, users will now see app recommendations in short video clips. Instead of just reading app descriptions or looking at screenshots, you can watch quick video previews of apps. This makes it easier and more fun to discover new apps and see what they do before downloading them.

Most updates happen in the background and help keep your device running smoothly. Features may not appear immediately for everyone, because Google often rolls out updates slowly over time. Currently, it is live for Pixel devices and the company will soon expand it to more Android devices, including Samsung.

To get the updates, open Settings on your devices, open Settings, then go to Security and Privacy >> Updates >> Google Play System update. Check for updates and install the latest versions of Google Play services and Play Store to enjoy the new privacy features and app videos.

Check Full Changelog:

Google Play services v26.08 (2026-03-02)

• [Auto, PC, Phone, TV, Wear] New developer features for Google and third party app developers to support Analytics & Diagnostics related processes in their apps.

Google Maps is getting a new icon on Android and iOS. Google has started rolling out this change with version 26.09.06.873668274 of the app. The icon still looks like a map pin, but it now has a fresh and modern design.

The shape of the pin has been slightly updated. The top ring is thinner than before, which makes it look lighter and cleaner. The circle inside the pin is now bigger, so it stands out more.

Another big change is the color style. Google removed the old diagonal color lines inside the pin. Instead, the new icon uses a smooth color gradient. The colors blend into each other, which gives it a softer and more modern look.

Even though the design has changed, the icon is still easy to recognize. It is clearly Google Maps, just with a new style. Some users may need a little time to get used to it, but the overall look is still familiar.

This new gradient style matches other Google apps that have also been updated. These include Google Photos, Google Home, Google Gemini, and Google Search. Google is slowly giving many of its apps a similar design so they all look connected.

Google Maps has also added new smart features in recent months. Many of these are powered by Gemini. There is now a more natural way to talk to the app for directions, replacing Google Assistant.

Gemini can also help users report traffic problems. Google is also adding Gemini features to Lens inside Maps and a “Know before you go” section on place listings. With these changes, Google Maps looks newer and works smarter for Android users.

Samsung Health has introduced a new feature to help users save money on prescription medicines. The app is already popular for tracking workouts, steps, sleep, and other health details. Now, it also helps users find discounts on medications easily. This update makes managing health and saving money much simpler.

The new feature allows users to search for prescription coupons at more than 70,000 pharmacies. Inside the Medications tracker, they can look up their medicines and check for available discounts. The process is quick and easy to use. Everything is done within the app, so there is no need to search elsewhere.

Samsung Health now connects smoothly with Samsung Wallet. When users find a coupon, they can save it to Samsung Wallet with just one tap. At the pharmacy, they simply open the Samsung Wallet at checkout to use the coupon. This gives them instant savings without printing anything.

With this, Samsung aims to make healthcare easier and more convenient. The app brings important health tools together in one place. Users can check their health data anytime on their Samsung devices. It helps reduce extra steps when managing care.

Samsung Health also includes Health Records, which lets users safely view medical records from their doctors. Another feature, Find Care, powered by HealthTap, allows users to speak with board-certified doctors online. They can ask questions about prescriptions and get advice from home.

With these new features, Samsung Health continues to improve. The new feature not only supports better health but also helps users spend less on the medicines they need.

Samsung showcased its latest display technology at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2026, focusing on better privacy features and improved screen designs. At the event, Samsung Display used the Galaxy S26 Ultra to demonstrate its new ideas.

The Galaxy S26 Ultra already comes with a Privacy Display feature. This technology makes the screen difficult to see from the side, helping protect personal information like PINs and passwords. When turned on, it currently covers the entire screen to keep your data safe from people nearby.

Samsung is now developing a smarter version of this feature. Instead of blocking the whole screen, the new system can protect only certain parts. One example shown at the event hides just the bottom half of the display. This would allow users to type a PIN or password safely while keeping the top half visible.

Another version hides only the Edge panel. While this may not seem very important, it shows Samsung is testing different options.

The company mentioned that these new features are still under development. The phone’s hardware already supports them, but the software is not fully ready. This means the update could arrive in the future through a software release.

Samsung also introduced LEAD 2.0, a new display technology that offers thinner bezels and brighter screens. In addition, a slidable phone concept was displayed, giving a glimpse of what future Samsung devices might look like.

At Mobile World Congress 2026, Samsung showed its new phone screen – LEAD 2.0. This screen is very bright, shows strong colors, and has very thin edges, almost no borders at all.

Phone companies always try to make screens better. People want screens that are bright, clear, and easy to see in sunlight. Samsung’s LEAD 2.0 does all of this. Compared to Samsung’s current OLED screens, the new screen looks much brighter and more colorful. Even with fewer pixels, pictures and videos look clear and sharp.

Samsung LEAD 2.0 can reach a brightness of 5,000 nits. For comparison, the Galaxy S26 Ultra screen can reach 2,600 nits. This means the new screen will be easier to see outside. It will also make videos and photos look better and show more details in bright light.

The demo phones also had very thin edges. This shows that future Samsung phones could have almost no borders. A screen like this looks bigger and nicer without making the phone bigger.

Samsung has been making better phone screens for many years. The Galaxy S26 Ultra has a Privacy Display that hides the screen when seen from the side. LEAD 2.0 focuses on making the screen look amazing with bright colors, sharp details, and clear pictures.

We do not know yet when Samsung will put these screens in phones, but the demo shows a bright and colorful future. Videos, games, and pictures will look much better on these new screens.

Samsung’s LEAD 2.0 shows that phone screens are getting brighter, more colorful, and almost edge-to-edge. In the future, phones could look sharper and more vivid, which makes them more fun and enjoyable to use every day.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is officially here, and the delivery has already started, at least for some lucky buyers. The S26 Ultra is packed with several new features and outstanding performance, but it includes a unique privacy feature that you won’t find anywhere else.

When you use phones in public areas like trains, in cafes, or at work, privacy on your screen is a big thing to protect. There’s always someone next to you who looks at your messages or banking app.

Thanks to Samsung’s Privacy Display, you won’t face the annoying issue. Is it enough to make you switch from your iPhone or Pixel? Maybe. Let’s talk about it honestly. So, what exactly is this Privacy Display?

Samsung calls the tech Flex Magic Pixel (it’s in the OLED panel). It’s built right into the screen. How does it work? Basically, the pixels can switch how they send light: a normal wide view for you when you are looking straight, or a narrow view so side-viewers see almost nothing. You can activate this feature just by swiping down to Quick Settings and tapping on the toggle.

There you will find the following levels:

• Basic – a bit of shading from the sides.
• Max privacy – really locks it down, great for serious stuff.
• Selective – hide only parts, like your password field, notifications, or certain apps, while the rest looks normal.

It uses some AI to spot sensitive things (like PIN entry) and turn on protection automatically. The screen looks totally normal when it is off, bright, colorful, and has no weird tint.

Samsung is far ahead on this feature right now. iPhones have good software privacy (Face ID, encrypted stuff, tracking blocks), but the screen is visible; anyone beside you sees everything clear as day unless you add a film. Google Pixels are great for clean software, AI edits, and a security chip, but there’s no built-in privacy screen.

Brands like Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, and others copy display tech fast (also using Samsung panels). Rumors say similar privacy features might come in 2026 flagships, but as of now, the S26 Ultra has it first.

The Galaxy S26 Ultra has a faster chip, better cameras (wider lenses, zoom upgrades), more Galaxy AI smarts, S Pen stuff, good battery. But if you have a S25 Ultra, a lot feels like small steps forward. Privacy Display is the new thing. It’s useful every single day, not some one-trick gimmick.

To make it a must-have for normal people, Samsung needs big ads, simple ones like “Your screen, your eyes only” in real-life situations. If the company pushes it, more people will notice.

My take:

Yeah, this makes me (or you) pick the S26 Ultra. Privacy feels more important now than ever, with data leaks and crowded spaces everywhere. Samsung’s Privacy Display is better than what Apple or Google offer right now, and even if copies come, this version feels the most unique. If privacy is the main concern, this phone makes upgrading feel meaningful. For me, that’s enough reason to go for it. Your stuff stays private. Simple as that.

Samsung has started rolling out a new software update with the February 2026 patch for the Samsung Galaxy M56. The update focuses mainly on improving device security. It fixes several known issues and improves system protection. The rollout has currently begun in India.

February 2026 security update comes with firmware version M566BXXU5BZB4. It has a download size of 499.16MB. While the main focus is security, users may also notice small improvements in system stability. These updates help the device perform more smoothly.

The latest update fixes 37 security vulnerabilities. These issues were related to Android and Samsung’s own software features. By addressing them, Samsung ensures better protection for user data and privacy. Regular security patches are important to keep smartphones safe from new threats.

Samsung originally launched the Galaxy M56 in April 2025 with Android 15-based One UI 7. The company promised six major Android or One UI upgrades and six years of security updates. So far, the phone has already received One UI 8.0 based on Android 16. Five major updates are still expected in the future.

To download the new update, users can go to Settings, then tap Software update, and select Download and install. It is recommended to use a stable Wi-Fi connection. Also, make sure the phone has enough battery before starting the installation. The update may take a few days to reach all devices.

The Galaxy M56 is also eligible for One UI 8.5. Samsung recently showcased the stable One UI 8.5 version with the Samsung Galaxy S26 series. The new version is expected to roll out to supported devices in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for more information.

Samsung’s new Galaxy S26 lineup is here, and if you’re interested in using Android’s built-in Linux terminal. There’s something important to know that not every model supports it.

Last year, Google added a powerful Linux terminal feature to Android. It first worked on Google Pixel phones and lets users run a real Linux environment directly on their device. This is especially useful for developers and tech enthusiasts who like to code or test tools on the go.

With the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S26 series, many people wondered if Samsung phones would support it too. Now we have a clear answer.

The Linux terminal works only on the Exynos versions of the Galaxy S26 and the Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus. These versions are mostly sold outside the United States, China, and Japan. In those regions, Samsung uses its own Exynos processors inside the phones.

However, the Snapdragon versions do not support the feature. This includes the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, which uses a Snapdragon chip in all markets.

The reason is technical that the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor does not support a feature called non-protected virtual machines, which is required for Android’s Linux terminal. When users try to open the terminal on these models, they see an error message.

There is some good news. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 also supports the Linux terminal. So, if having a Linux terminal on your phone is important to you, make sure you buy an Exynos-powered Galaxy S26 or S26 Plus. The processor inside the phone really matters this time.

Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra don’t use a 10-bit display that Samsung showcased at launch. The correction came after the Unpacked event, after the specs went out, after people started pre-ordering based on what Samsung revealed.

During the Galaxy S26 Ultra launch, Samsung representatives mentioned the upgrade to a 10-bit display. A genuine upgrade, especially when you consider that brands like OnePlus, Xiaomi, and even Oppo have been shipping 10-bit phones for years now.

However, a Samsung spokesperson reached out to SamMobile days later with a quiet walk-back: actually, it’s 8-bit color depth. And that’s not just the Ultra, but the standard S26 and the S26+ are also rocking 8-bit panels.

A proper 10-bit display can render 1.07 billion colors, while an 8-bit display can render 16.7 million. The difference shows up in gradients, less banding, smoother transitions, and more accurate color reproduction.

The Korean tech giant appears to be using frame rate control, or FRC, to simulate 10-bit output on 8-bit hardware. It’s often called “8-bit + FRC” in the industry, and it does reduce banding compared to plain 8-bit.

Ice Universe isn’t panicking about the 8-bit thing. He’s more worried about something else: overall display quality. His advice? Go to a store, set both the S25 Ultra and S26 Ultra to 2K resolution, disable Privacy Mode, and look closely at text rendering, then decide.

Samsung’s the biggest Android player on the planet, and they’re still shipping 8-bit displays while the competition moved on. You can dress it up with FRC and call it good enough, but the fact remains unchanged.

If you pre-ordered based on that 10-bit claim, you’ve got every right to be annoyed.

Samsung’s first-ever Privacy Display feature on the Galaxy S26 Ultra comes with a catch: the screen is actually dimmer than the Galaxy S25 Ultra, even with the privacy tech turned off.

Tom’s Guide just put the Galaxy S26 Ultra through lab testing, and the results reveal that the Privacy Display upgrade has made the screen actually dimmer than last year’s model.

The test revealed that the Galaxy S26 Ultra hits 1,806 nits at peak brightness, while the Galaxy S25 Ultra hits 1,860 nits. Samsung rates the 6.9-inch AMOLED panel at 2,600 nits, but real-world testing shows it falls short.

Tom’s Guide noticed the S26 Ultra looks visibly dimmer from the sides compared to the S25 Ultra, even with Privacy Display completely disabled.

Since the Flex Magic Pixel technology is integrated into the panel structure, this means you’re living with the trade-off, whether you use the feature or not.

When you do flip Privacy Display on, things get rough.

With Maximum Privacy Protection enabled, brightness drops to 586 nits. That’s a 67.6% drop from the 1,209 nits you get with adaptive brightness on. Turn off adaptive brightness entirely, and it’s worse: 248 nits with privacy mode active.

Privacy screens have always been dim. Anyone who’s used an aftermarket protector knows this. Unlike privacy screen protectors that stick on permanently, Samsung’s implementation can be toggled, which is the entire point.

You sacrifice brightness when you need privacy, then flip it off and get your flagship experience back. The Privacy Display is genuinely innovative tech, no question, but it shouldn’t have come at the expense of screen brightness.

Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 7 starts receiving the February 2026 update. It follows the November 2025 security patch, which landed after the One UI 8 Watch switch.

Galaxy Watch models are eligible for a new security update every quarter. Unlike flagship phones, they are not eligible for the latest patches that come every month.

We are already in the month of March, and Samsung just dropped the details of this month’s security patch. It includes fixes for 60 CVEs from Google and 7 SVEs from Samsung to ensure security on Galaxy devices.

Meanwhile, the Galaxy Watch 7 is getting the February 2026 security update. It sounds older, but the reality is the rollout took longer than usual. It should have been here in February only, but it didn’t arrive.

Samsung’s February patch can be identified via PDA build version ending with BZB1. It weighs less than four hundred megabytes, requiring some time to download. Installation can only be processed once the package is extracted on the device.

Last month, Samsung was busy with the Galaxy S26 series. Not many Galaxy phones received the February patch either. The rollout mechanism has now reactivated, and phased distribution is already underway.

Galaxy Wearable is the easiest to install the latest updates on Galaxy Wearables. Open the app, navigate to the Watch settings > Watch software update. Hit the Download and install key to begin fetching, followed by Install now.

Samsung’s done with the Galaxy S26 series reveal, and the focus is now being shifted to A-series phones. A credible source has now revealed the potential colors of the upcoming Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57 phones, and they are not random.

According to RolandQuandt, the Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57 will be available in five colors. With its 2026 mid-range models, Samsung is bringing some brilliant shades, which were previously debuted with flagship models in the past.

Galaxy A37 colors:

• White
• Charcoal
• Greygreen
• Lavender
• Navy

Galaxy A57 colors:

• Charcoal
• IcyBlue
• Grey
• Lilac
• Navy

Samsung played it smart with the Galaxy S26 series colors. Now, the company is ready to impress its fans with the Galaxy A37 and A57 color shades. Some of the palettes are inspired by Galaxy S and Z series phones released earlier.

Summary of the connections

• GreyGreen (A37): This was the standout signature color of the Galaxy Z Fold4 (2022).
• Icy Blue (A57): Originally the hero color for the Galaxy Z Fold5 (2023), it was recently brought back as a core option for the S25 and S25 FE (2025).
• Navy (A37/A57): A deep, matte finish that was a primary shade for the Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus.
• Charcoal (A37/A57): Essentially the evolution of the “Graphite” and “Phantom Black” seen across the S23 and S24 lineups.

Galaxy S26 series is available for preorders, with the release set for March 11. Samsung could launch the A37 and A57 by the end of March or early April. These models are pretty important for Samsung in securing volume.

Samsung has reportedly delayed its 2nm Texas chip fab to next year, impacting Tesla and Big Tech. Reports emerging from Samsung’s home turf signal a halt in the mass production timeline for the US chip factory.

According to KoreaJoongangDaily, Samsung has postponed the mass production at its Texas chip plant to next year, and it’s going to impact Tesla and Big Tech companies.

Multiple sources with knowledge of the matter have made this claim. For context, the Korean tech giant has decided to kickstart production at the Taylor facility as early as this year.

Now, Samsung’s Taylor, Texas, chip factory has a new deadline of early 2027. This delay is probably fueled by ensuring seamless production and making the jump directly to the 2nm process.

“It appears that even internally at Samsung, the timeline for the start of mass production has not yet been finalized,” a source familiar with developments told the Korea JoongAng Daily. “The schedule has continued to slip, and it is now understood that a full-scale ramp-up for a meaningful volume output could be pushed to early next year.”

Another source at a semiconductor materials firm echoed the setback.

“The plant has begun pilot operations, but full-scale manufacturing has already been significantly delayed,” the source said. “The timeline appears to shift frequently, and there is no clear start-of-production milestone,” he said, adding that there appear to be factory utilization issues with specifying further.

Back in January 2026, Samsung Foundry’s VC disclosed plans to mass produce 2nm chip at Texas fab and develop design infrastructure for the second-generation process targeting mass production in the second half of the year.

According to tipster Digital Chat Station, Samsung is developing a new flagship 200MP ISOCELL sensor, reportedly dubbed HPA.

Samsung’s March 2026 security update roadmap is out, and for Galaxy S26 buyers, it carries a clear message: your phone is at the highest level of the protection queue.

The Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra have all been placed directly into Samsung’s Monthly Security Update tier. This means the moment a patch drops, these devices are among the first to receive it.

Monthly tier is the gold standard

Samsung’s update program runs on two tracks.

• The monthly tier covers flagship-grade devices and select enterprise models, receiving patches as soon as they are certified and ready.
• The quarterly tier, by contrast, bundles updates every three months.

For a device sitting at the $899-plus price point, waiting a full quarter for a known patch to arrive is not an acceptable trade-off. That said, the Galaxy S26 series entering the Monthly tier from day one is not a small thing.

The standard Galaxy S26, the Galaxy S26+, and the Galaxy S26 Ultra are listed as a unit under the monthly schedule. There is no tiered entry here, where the Ultra gets priority and the base model trails behind.

Samsung has historically kept the core S-series family together on update timelines, and the March roadmap continues that pattern.

Moving down the lineup, Samsung’s March roadmap also brings three new additions to the quarterly security tier. The Galaxy A07 5G, Galaxy M17e 5G, and Galaxy F70e 5G are all newly listed this month.

One detail that often gets overlooked in these monthly roadmap updates: stability. Every single device listed in February 2026 retains its update status in March.

Samsung’s software update rollout was severely dry last month. Following the Galaxy S26 launch, Samsung has started rolling out the February 2026 update to even more Galaxy devices, with expansion taking place in the US.

According to the info (via DroidLife), Samsung is now rolling out the February 2026 update to older foldable models in the US. If you own a Galaxy Z Fold 5, Flip 5, Fold 4, or Flip 4, it’s time to check for the latest security patches.

February update brings 37 patches to Galaxy phones, foldables, and tablets. The package contains 25 CVE items from Google and 12 SVE items from Samsung. It’s a complete package that improves both Android and One UI.

Software PDA versions:

• Galaxy Z Fold 5: F946USQS7FZB6
• Galaxy Z Fold 4: F936USQS9IZB6
• Galaxy Z Flip 5: F731USQS7FZB6

Nvidia recently released a new Game Ready driver version 595.71 to address the issues spotted in version 595.59, but it seems like Resident Evil Requiem players are still facing several issues.

Mewgenics was finally released on PC last month after a long wait, and it seems like Steam Deck users are enjoying the game more than anyone else.

YouTuber Chris Doel has shown off his latest project — an electric car powered by his homemade battery pack. This battery pack was built using 500 batteries salvaged from discarded vapes.

At Mobile World Congress 2026, TECNO announced an upgrade to its AIoT ecosystem. The update is built around TECNO OneLeap, a new interconnection platform that connects smartphones, tablets, PCs, and other smart devices. The company also introduced three new products: the MEGAPAD 2 AI tablet, the Watch GT 1S smartwatch, and the FreeHear 2 open-ear earbuds.

TECNO OneLeap is designed to make multi-device use simple. Devices are discovered automatically and can be connected with a single drag or tap. There is no need for repeated logins or complex setup. Discovery, connection, management, and cross-device interaction are handled in one unified interface.

OneLeap supports three-device collaboration across smartphones, tablets, and PCs at the same time. Trusted devices reconnect automatically. With Keyboard and Mouse Sharing, users can control three screens using one keyboard and mouse. A unified clipboard allows instant sharing of text and files. Images copied on a smartphone can be pasted directly into documents on a tablet or laptop. These tools are built to improve workflow across multiple screens.

The platform also offers flexible display options. A smartphone can mirror to a laptop, while a tablet works as an extended PC display. This enables a three-screen setup. In Phone Widescreen Extension mode, optimized for tablet screen ratios, smartphone and tablet activities stay independent so users can multitask without interruption.

OneLeap also supports real-time, face-to-face translation in more than 160 languages when paired with TECNO audio devices. Translated speech plays through earbuds instantly, and transcripts are saved on the phone for later reference.

The MEGAPAD 2 features an 11-inch 2.5K display with a 90Hz refresh rate and TÜV Low Blue Light certification. It has a 6.6mm ultra-slim body and runs on HiOS. AI Problem Solving supports independent learning and allows parents to guide children. AI Translation works in up to 140 languages across images, calls, videos, and meetings. AI document summary and writing refinement tools support light study and everyday tasks. Through OneLeap, it supports file sharing and PC screen extension.

The Watch GT 1S includes dual-band L1 and L5 high-precision GPS and motion sensors for stable tracking in urban and remote areas. It monitors heart rate, blood oxygen, stress, and sleep. The battery lasts up to 15 days. It has 5ATM water resistance. AI watch faces can be created using image-to-image or text-to-image customization.

The FreeHear 2 weighs 5.4g per earbud and uses a C-bridge clip design for a secure and natural fit. It features a 10.8mm dual-magnetic dynamic driver for spatial audio. Total battery life reaches up to 46 hours. A five-minute charge provides more than one hour of playback.

The MEGAPAD 2, Watch GT 1S, and FreeHear 2 will roll out in selected global markets during Q1 and Q2 2026. Pricing and regional specifications will be announced at local launches.

TCL CSOT is at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, showing off display tech focused on efficiency over higher resolution. The TCL Technology subsidiary is presenting Super Pixel technology for phones alongside progress in fine-metal-mask OLED, inkjet-printed OLED, and MLED under its APEX brand.

Super Pixel changes how pixels are arranged rather than cramming in more of them. TCL CSOT boosts sub-pixel count by 1.8% to match WQHD SPR sharpness while cutting power use up to 25% through better data processing. The Real RGB layout needs less bandwidth than SPR, pushing refresh rates up to 40% higher.

The real bet is on inkjet-printed OLED manufacturing. TCL CSOT says it spent over a decade on IJP OLED research and started mass production from its G5.5 line in Wuhan in November 2024. Construction kicked off on October 21, 2025 on an 8.6-generation facility in Guangzhou after a $4.15 billion investment. Inkjet printing puts down OLED materials without masks and cuts contamination, but scaling it up is hard because of issues with drying control, production speed, and material limits compared to vacuum evaporation.

TCL CSOT is showing concept hardware to prove what printed OLED can do: a 28-inch tri-fold monitor with a 1.8mm folding radius and 4.48mm profile, plus a 14-inch laptop panel that’s 0.77mm thick and weighs 77 grams.

The timing matters because competition for large OLED production is heating up. Samsung Display’s Gen-8.6 FMM tandem OLED line could hit mass production in Q2 2026, with panels headed to Apple MacBook Pro models. TCL CSOT is taking a different route with printed OLED to reach the same IT display market.

TCL CSOT is exhibiting March 2 to 5 at Fira Gran Via, Hall 2, Stand 2M30, during the GSMA show in L’Hospitalet de Llobregat.

Micron confirmed in December 2025 that it will exit the Crucial consumer business, which covers retail RAM, SSDs, and memory cards sold through distributors and online channels. Shipments will reportedly continue through the end of Micron’s fiscal Q2. After that, Crucial-branded products will no longer be supplied to retail partners.

Warranty support for existing products will remain in place, and Micron will continue operating its enterprise portfolio under its own name. The change is specifically aimed at reallocating resources toward higher-margin segments such as data-center DRAM, high-bandwidth memory (HBM), and enterprise SSDs.

The reasoning isn’t subtle. AI infrastructure has significantly altered the memory market over the past two years. Data centers training and running large AI models require enormous amounts of DRAM and specialized memory solutions. As Micron’s Chief Business Officer Sumit Sadana put it, AI-driven growth in data centers has led to a surge in demand for memory and storage.

In a market where only three major suppliers — Samsung, SK hynix, and Micron — account for the vast majority of DRAM production, shifts like this matter. When capacity is redirected toward HBM and other server-grade products, less supply is available for traditional consumer devices. That imbalance is showing up in pricing.

For PC builders and upgraders, Crucial’s exit is notable. The brand has long been associated with reliable, reasonably priced memory upgrades. While other brands will continue selling DRAM and SSDs, the overall pool of consumer-focused supply is narrowing.

This doesn’t necessarily mean immediate shortages across the board. But it does suggest that consumer memory may no longer be a priority growth area for major manufacturers, at least in the near term. As AI data centers absorb more production capacity, everyday devices could face tighter pricing and slower cost declines than in previous cycles.

Micron’s decision reflects a broader reality in the semiconductor industry right now: AI infrastructure is where margins are strongest, and companies are following that demand. For consumers, the effects are hard to accept.

Samsung may be preparing a noticeably larger 200MP camera sensor for future flagships. According to new leaks out of China, the company is working on what’s reportedly called the ISOCELL HPA.

The information comes from Digital Chat Station, who claims the ISOCELL HPA will feature a 1/1.12-inch optical format. That would make it significantly larger than Samsung’s recent 200MP sensors, such as the HP2 and HP3, which sit at around 1/1.3-inch.

In practical terms, a jump to 1/1.12-inch brings the sensor much closer to the 1-inch class used by some competitors. A larger surface area generally means better light gathering, which can improve low-light performance, detail retention, and overall image quality.

Another key detail in the leak is the use of LOFIC (Lateral Overflow Integration Capacitor) technology. LOFIC is designed to extend dynamic range at the hardware level, helping preserve highlight and shadow detail in high-contrast scenes. Instead of relying entirely on multi-frame HDR processing, the sensor itself handles more of the dynamic range capture. If implemented well, that could lead to more natural-looking images and fewer blown highlights.

The ISOCELL HPA is reportedly targeted for a 2027 release. As with many recent high resolution ISOCELL sensors, it may first appear in devices from Chinese smartphone brands before making its way into Galaxy flagships.

For Samsung’s own lineup, another leak from Ice Universe suggests the Galaxy S27 Ultra could instead use a different 200MP sensor called the ISOCELL HP6. That unit is said to retain the 1/1.3-inch size seen in recent generations but incorporate LOFIC improvements and refined image processing to close the performance gap.

In other words, Samsung may be pursuing two parallel strategies: increasing sensor size for its Chinese customers while continuing to optimize its existing form factor for Galaxy flagships.

With a 2027 timeline, there’s still time before any of this becomes official. Still, the direction is clear: Samsung finally appears to be investing in sensor physics and underlying imaging hardware.

Poco has started teasing the arrival of its next X-series smartphones in India. The landing page is now live on Flipkart, and while it does not reveal anything significant, it hints that the launch could take place this month. The lineup is expected to include two models, the Poco X8 and Poco X8 Pro Max. These devices are believed to be slightly tweaked versions of the Redmi Turbo 5 and Redmi Turbo 5 Max, which are currently available in China.

Pcoo X8 Pro series: What to expect?

The Poco X8 Pro and Poco X8 Pro Max are tipped to arrive with high-refresh-rate OLED panels, though in different sizes. The X8 Pro is rumoured to sport a 6.59-inch display with 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The Pro Max variant, on the other hand, may step up to a larger 6.83-inch OLED screen while retaining the same 1.5K clarity and 120Hz smoothness, offering a more immersive viewing experience.

In terms of cameras, both models are expected to share a similar imaging setup. Each device could feature a 20-megapixel front camera for selfies. At the back, a dual-camera system is likely, led by a 50-megapixel primary sensor with OIS support, accompanied by an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens. This suggests Poco may focus on balanced photography rather than adding extra sensors.

The Poco X8 Pro is said to run on the Dimensity 8500 Ultra chipset with up to 12GB LPDDR5x RAM and 256GB UFS 4.1 storage, backed by a 6,500mAh battery with 100W charging. The X8 Pro Max could be powered by the Dimensity 9500s processor and may pack around an 8,500mAh battery, slightly smaller than the 9,000mAh cell found in the Redmi Turbo 5 Max, which it is believed to be based on.

Poco C85x incoming

Poco is also teasing a new C-series phone dubbed the Poco C85x 5G via Flipkart. This phone is rumored to be similar to the Redmi 15 5G, which is already available in the market.

Honor has unveiled the Honor Magic V6 at MWC 2026 for global markets and soon after confirmed a China launch scheduled for March 10. While the global version already brings notable upgrades, the Chinese announcement is drawing attention for a different reason. Reports indicate that China will receive a larger battery variant of the foldable.

Honor Magic V6 China variant battery details

The global Honor Magic V6 comes equipped with a 6,660mAh silicon-carbon battery supporting 80W wired and 66W wireless charging. However, teasers shared by Honor in China suggest that the domestic model will feature a significantly bigger 7,150mAh battery. The company highlights a new generation Qinghai Lake blade battery with silicon content exceeding 32 percent and an energy density of 985Wh per litre, aiming to deliver over 24 hours of large-screen usage.

Unconfirmed reports indicate that the 7,150mAh edition may support up to 120W fast charging and could be reserved for the top configuration. There is also speculation that satellite communication support might be offered on select variants. Honor followed a similar approach last year by launching multiple battery options in China while offering a smaller pack for the Honor Magic V5 globally, and it appears the same strategy could continue with the Magic V6.

Honor Magic V6 specifications and features

The Honor Magic V6 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor paired with 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB UFS 4.1 storage. It is the first foldable smartphone to receive both IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance. The device features a newly developed Super Steel Hinge tested for up to 500,000 folds. It measures 8.75mm when folded and 4mm when unfolded, with the white variant weighing 219 grams.

The inner display is a 7.95-inch LTPO 2.0 AMOLED panel with 2,172 x 2,352 resolution, adaptive 1Hz to 120Hz refresh rate and up to 5,000 nits brightness. The 6.52-inch cover screen also supports 1Hz to 120Hz refresh rate and up to 6,000 nits brightness. Both screens support stylus input and feature 20-megapixel selfie cameras. At the rear, the phone includes a 50-megapixel main sensor with OIS, a 64-megapixel periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens. It runs MagicOS 10 based on Android 16 and is promised seven major Android upgrades.

Last month, Samsung launched the Galaxy S26 series with a fresh design and new features. Several people were excited to try it, expecting it to be more comfortable than the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. But some early users noticed a difference in the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s screen that could make long use less comfortable.

A reliable tipster, Tarun Vats, shared a comparison of the two phones. He noticed the Galaxy S26 Ultra screen looks cooler and whiter. The S25 Ultra looks warmer and more natural. Text on the S26 Ultra is sharper but a bit harsh, while text on the S25 Ultra looks smoother and easier to read.

The tipster also saw a difference in screen texture. The S26 Ultra shows more visible pixel grain. The Galaxy S25 Ultra looks cleaner and smoother. The S26 Ultra is also brighter, which can cause glare and make the eyes tired after long use.

Both phones were tested at 2K resolution with Privacy Mode turned off. This means the differences are probably due to changes in color tuning, panel settings, or how pixels are displayed. Small changes like this can affect how comfortable the screen feels.

It is not clear yet if Samsung can fix this with a software update or if it is because of the hardware. Either way, people who use their phones a lot might notice the difference. Many fans are now waiting to see if Samsung will make updates to improve the screen experience.

The new Honor MagicBook Pro 14 2026 is the first device we reviewed with Intel's new Arc B370 GPU. The Panther Lake GPU performs very well, especially in gaming benchmarks. The gap to the Arc B390 is also pretty small.

Three new Casio square-shaped watches with digital displays are on the way. They offer features like 100 m water resistance, a fully automatic calendar and a precise stopwatch. Plus, the G-Shock Baby-G BGD-565 watches have pearlescent dials, and one model has a colorful display.

An Instagram user claims to have obtained authentic footage from an earlier GTA 6 build. A proud ex-Rockstar Games employee allegedly sent him a recording of a bridge in Vice City. A long development cycle with regular employee turnover makes stopping GTA 6 leaks challenging.

Asus updated its compact 13.3-inch convertible ProArt PX13 and now uses AMD's high-end Strix Halo processors. Even though there are advantages in terms of CPU performance as well as RAM, the GPU performance is not much better compared to the RTX 4070 from the old ProArt PX13.

Xiaomi has released a new e-scooter accessory in Europe: the Electric Scooter Fast Charger 2. The device is designed to rapidly charge two of the brand’s new e-scooters, as well as future models, with two charging modes. Plus, it is currently offered as a free gift for some customers.

The vast show floors at Mobile World Congress (MWC) are full of surprises, and you never know who or what you may run into. Case in point, we came across the yet to be released Nothing Phone (4a) in all four of its official colors ahead of its upcoming March 5 announcement. Nothing had the Phone (4a) units behind protective glass, so we could only admire them from a distance and did not get to actually hold them. The new color options offer some welcome variety, with the traditional black and white models now joined by blue and pink options. These two new hues are quite saturated...

At Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Google is showing new updates for Android and AI. People at the event can try many fun and simple demos. These demos show how AI can help in daily life.

Nano Banana is one of the features. It lets you see yourself in different scenes. For example, you can imagine being on the cover of an old 1980s magazine. After that, you can use Veo to turn your idea into a short video with sound. It is an easy way to create fun and creative videos.

There is also a demo with an XR headset and new smart glasses. With these, you can look around virtual cities. You can also hear music that changes based on what you see. This shows how AI can mix the real world with the digital world.

Last year, Samsung launched the Galaxy S25 Edge with Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2. This special glass was made in partnership with Corning to make the phone strong while keeping it very thin and staying cool. Now, Corning has introduced a new and improved version – Gorilla Glass Ceramic 3. 

Corning just announced a stronger version for new smartphones. The company says Gorilla Glass Ceramic 3 is the toughest glass they have ever made. It is designed to last longer and protect devices better in everyday life.

In lab tests, Gorilla Glass Ceramic 3 survived drops from more than two meters onto surfaces similar to concrete. The glass also survived at least 20 repeated drops from one meter onto surfaces like asphalt. Corning said that a competing glass usually broke on the first drop in similar tests. This shows that the new material is much stronger over time.

Corning confirmed that the first phone to use Gorilla Glass Ceramic 3 will be from Motorola. It will be featured on the company’s upcoming Razr fold device. Motorola plans to showcase it at Mobile World Congress 2026.

As for Samsung, the company has not confirmed anything about the Galaxy S26 Edge. Some reports say Samsung may skip the next Edge model because the Galaxy S25 Edge did not sell well. However, other reports suggest Samsung might launch it to compete with a slim iPhone from Apple.

For now, Gorilla Glass Ceramic 3 is officially confirmed only for Motorola. Whether Samsung will use it in a future Galaxy Edge phone remains unclear, and fans will have to wait for official announcements.
