Lionel Messi, Inter Miami reportedly set to visit President Trump at White House to celebrate MLS title

Inter Miami will reportedly visit the White House on Thursday, March 5 to celebrate the team's MLS Cup title, according to The Athletic.

The trip that will see Lionel Messi and his teammates visit President Donald Trump will come two days before Inter Miami takes on D.C. United on March 7. Pending his attendance, it would mark the first visit for the reigning two-time MLS MVP to the White House.

Messi was previously invited in January of 2025 to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, but could not attend the ceremony hosted by former President Joe Biden due to a scheduling issue.

Inter Miami defeated the Vancouver Whitecaps 3-1 in December to claim the franchise's first-ever MLS Cup title. The Herons will be the first MLS team to visit the White House since 2024 when the Columbus Crew were hosted by Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, the husband of then-Vice President Kamala Harris.

David Beckham, who is co-owner of Inter Miami, was a part of the 2011 MLS Cup champion Los Angeles Galaxy who celebrated their title with former President Barack Obama.

Should Messi attend, he will be the second soccer great to meet with Trump in the past few months. In November, Cristiano Ronaldo was at the White House for a black-tie dinner along with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Upgrades & Features: What’s Actually New This Year?

Galaxy-S26-Ultra

With the Galaxy S26 Ultra, Samsung isn’t just pushing spec upgrades; it’s trying to redefine what a flagship phone should proactively do for you. This year’s Ultra focuses heavily on smarter AI, better video capabilities, and meaningful hardware tweaks rather than just bumping numbers. While it might look iterative at first glance, some of these additions are genuinely interesting.

A Slimmer Ultra Than Ever

Galaxy-S26-Ultra

At just 7.9mm thick, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is the slimmest Ultra model Samsung has released to date. That might not sound dramatic, but in the world of large, camera-heavy flagships, shaving off thickness without sacrificing battery or thermals is a big deal. Despite the slimmer profile, the phone still packs top-tier hardware and doesn’t downsize the battery.

Built-In Privacy Display

One of the most anticipated additions is the new Privacy Display. This is the first time Samsung has integrated built-in privacy screen functionality directly into a flagship phone. Using a combination of hardware filtering and software controls, the display restricts viewing angles so that on-screen content is much harder to see from the sides.

If you often work in cafΓ©s, airports, or public transport, this could be a genuinely practical feature. Unlike clip-on privacy protectors, this one is native and toggleable. It’s subtle, but it signals Samsung thinking beyond just brightness and resolution.

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy

Under the hood, the S26 Ultra runs on the custom Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform for Galaxy. As the name suggests, this version is tuned specifically for Samsung’s flagship. Performance improvements focus on sustained workloads rather than just peak benchmarks. That matters for gaming, 4K and 8K video recording, and AI-driven processing tasks that run continuously in the background. Thermal management has also been improved, which pairs well with the phone’s thinner design.

Camera Upgrades: Low Light and Pro Video

Samsung is clearly doubling down on mobile videography this year. The S26 Ultra features wider apertures across parts of its camera system, improving low-light photography. Night shots are brighter and cleaner, but the bigger story might be β€œNightography Video.” Samsung claims significantly improved clarity in dim environments, reducing noise and maintaining detail when recording at night. Video stabilization also gets an upgrade through improved Super Steady technology, helping smooth out handheld footage without over-cropping.

Galaxy-S26-Ultra

Perhaps most notably, the S26 Ultra is the first Galaxy smartphone to support the Advanced Professional Video (APV) standard. This allows for more efficient compression while maintaining high video quality, which could be a big deal for content creators who want pro-grade results without enormous file sizes. Even the front-facing camera benefits from AI ISP improvements, promising more natural skin tones and better detail retention in mixed lighting.

Agentic AI

Samsung is branding its next phase of intelligence as β€œAgentic AI.” The idea is simple: instead of waiting for you to trigger features, the phone anticipates and assists. β€œNow Nudge” delivers contextual suggestions at relevant moments, while β€œNow Brief” provides real-time summaries and updates throughout the day. Think less reactive notifications and more proactive guidance.

Galaxy-S26-Ultra

Bixby has also evolved into a more conversational device agent. You can adjust settings, navigate menus, and manage tasks using natural language without needing to memorize specific commands. The goal is frictionless interaction.

Samsung has also expanded β€œCircle to Search” and deepened integrations with AI platforms like Gemini and Perplexity. Native AI photo editing tools have been refined as well, making object removal, generative fill, and scene adjustments more seamless.

Super Fast Charging 3.0

Charging gets a meaningful bump with Super Fast Charging 3.0. Using Samsung’s new 60W charger, the S26 Ultra can reportedly reach 75% in 30 minutes. That’s not industry-leading on paper, but it strikes a balance between speed and battery longevity. In an era where 200W charging exists, Samsung appears to be prioritizing sustained battery health over headline-grabbing numbers.

New Samsung Magnetic Power Bank Drops for Galaxy S26 Series Packs 5000mAh & Built-in Kickstand

Samsung Qi2 Magnetic Power Bank

Samsung has just expanded its accessory ecosystem for the Galaxy S26 series with a clever new companion. The Galaxy S26 Ultra and its siblings just got a new 25W Magnetic Charger, and now, the brand has also released a new power bank with built-in magnets and a kickstand.

Magnetic Snap-On Power for the Samsung Galaxy S26 Series

This official Samsung magnetic power bank is specially engineered for the Galaxy S26 series and other Qi2-compatible phones. It uses magnetic alignment to attach securely to the smartphone’s back, ensuring proper positioning for efficient power transfer without reels of cable or fidgeting to find the right spot. Built into the back of the power bank is a fold-out kickstand, letting you prop your phone up at a comfortable angle, which makes it handy for video calls, streaming, gaming, or more.

Samsung’s Qi2 Magnet Wireless Battery Pack houses a sizeable 5,000mAh battery pack. It supports wireless output up to 15W when magnetically connected to compatible devices like the Galaxy S26 Ultra, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26. Keep in mind that these models don’t have built-in magnets like the Google Pixel 10 lineup or iPhones. So you will need a dedicated case with magnets.

For example, popular case brand Spigen have already released several magnetic cases and accessories. If you need a faster charging option, the power bank also offers 25W wired fast charging with its USB Type-C port. In other words, users can charge two devices at the same time. Samsung has released this Qi2 Magnet Wireless Power Bank in a single gray color option. As of right now, the pricing and launch details for this power bank are still at large.

Samsung Launches 25W Magnetic Charger for the New Galaxy S26 Series

Samsung S25 Magnetic Charger

Samsung has quietly expanded the accessory lineup alongside its Galaxy S26 Series announcement with the launch of a new 25W magnetic wireless charger. The accessory makes charging simpler and more stylish for Galaxy owners, especially those who want a sleek magnetic solution rather than a traditional charging pad.

What’s New: Qi2 Magnetic Charging at 25W

Unlike most generic wireless chargers, Samsung’s new Magnet Wireless Charger uses the Qi2 standard, which is the latest wireless charging protocol that supports magnetic alignment similar in concept to Apple’s MagSafe. This helps ensure better alignment between the phone and charger for more efficient power transfer. Despite this magnetic alignment, Samsung’s latest flagships do not have built-in magnets for Qi2 by default. Meaning, you still need a compatible magnetic case to properly secure the device to the charger for full power delivery.

The charger itself is super-thin (about 4.4mm) and includes a 1.5m USB-C cable with a fabric exterior for durability and daily flexibility. Samsung claims this magnetic charger can deliver up to 25W of wireless power, specifically supported on the Galaxy S26 Ultra. The Galaxy S26+ and Galaxy S26, on the other hand, are capped at about 20W and 15W, respectively.

Samsung claims that the new 25W magnetic charger can bring the Galaxy S26 Ultra to around 50% charge in just under an hour. This new charging accessory carries a minimalist and ultra thin design with a textured USB-C cable to resist fraying and tangling. The brand has already listed the Magnet Wireless Charger in some regions, including the US, where it is listed for 49.99 US Dollars. The global release in other regions, like India, is expected to kick off soon.

Tecno’s Modular Phone Concept is a Super Slim 4.9 mm Device With Magnetic How-Swap Attachments

Tecno Modular Phone Concept

Just before the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2026 event in Barcelona, Tecno unveiled a bold new smartphone concept that is built around the new Modular Magnetic Interconnection Technology. This is a system designed to rethink how hardware expansion works, so here are all the details.

Tecno Modular Phone Concept: Ultra-Thin Design Meets Modular Flexibilty

The Tecno Modular Phone concept is built around a sleek metal frame and matte glass back, with the rear panel visually divided into eight modular zones that guide accessory attachment. Another standout aspect is its ultra slim 4.9mm body. Tecno allows users to add modules such as a 4.5mm ultra-slim power bank or action camera. This sleek design helps the Module Phone Concept avoid turning into a bulky slab even with the accessories attached to the back.

Tecno Modular Phone Concept

The concept will be shown in two design styles, namely ATOM Edition and MODA Edition. Instead of the heavy β€œbrick” modules seen in older modular efforts, Tecno’s approach is more about practical attachments that enhance functionality without compromising portability. Some of these new attachments include:

  • Power Bank Module: Adds extra battery capacity while preserving a slim profile.
  • Action Camera Module: Gives creators alternative angles and workflows for video/shooting.
  • Telephoto Lens Module: Uses the phone’s display as a live viewfinder for improved long-range photography.

This modular ecosystem is designed to solve a modern problem: how to expand hardware capabilities like AI computing, imaging, battery life, and others. Tecno’s modular concept uses a hybrid magnetic attachment system with a rectangular magnetic array and pogo-pin connectors for power delivery.

These connectors help keep power transfer efficient and manage heat more effectively than some old modular prototypes. Meanwhile, the modules communicate with the phone using a mix of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and mmWave. We can expect more details to be revealed during the major tech event, so stick around for more.
