2025 will be full of unforgettable readings. Right now, this is what is in Xataka’s slope battery

Let us recognize it: we love Christmas because if we like reading, dozens of books rain. The drama arrives in January, when the battery acquires proportions of skyscrapers. In Xataka we have already got to work and we are engaged in multiple readings. Perhaps some of them are interested in increasing your own list of outstanding volumes. This is what we are reading! ‘Cointeligency: Live and work with AI’, by Ethan Mollick I am still reading Mollick’s book and it is one of those rare readings about ia that manage to keep their feet on the ground. The one of the books of AI is a section full of tectoutopic manifestos or apocalyptic warnings, but this text, at least in what I have read, stands out for its genuine curiosity and healthy skepticism. Who reads it will find a pragmatic analysis of how to integrate these tools into our life, without falling into the trap of imagining that they can or should do everything, and of course without falling into cheap catastrophism. Mollick understands that the real question is not whether we will use the AI, but how we will choose to use it. Javier Lacort Cointeligencia: Living and working with AI (connects) * Some price may have changed from the last review ‘Everything dies’ by Juan Gómez Jurado I am reading with some laziness the eighth book of the Red Reina saga, more for a “since I have read the previous ones, to know how this ends”, although I am seeing myself coming than last delivery, nothing. The familiarity of knowing both the characters, the humor of the dialogues and the narratives, and the tone of action so characteristic of Gómez Jurado are liking, but I cannot avoid that feeling of reading again the same and with the same resources that work from the first books. Fear gives me the end. At least, for now he is being entertaining and agile. César Muela Everything dies (everything burns 3) (Red Reina Universe) * Some price may have changed from the last review ‘The newspapers of La Boticaria’, by Natsu Hyûga I had been listening to this series for a long time, and how good it is, but since I did not usually trust the Hype I took late to read the manga. It was a serious mistake. ‘The newspapers of the apothecary’ tells the story of Mao Mao, a herbalist who was kidnapped to work as a maid in the imperial palace. I must admit that at the beginning, it is hard to believe that she is the protagonist of the series. It appears to be a dry girl whose purpose is to avoid getting into trouble in life. The only thing that seems to care is his father, a doctor named Luomen, and the only thing that excites him is the poisons. Although Mao Mao promised to maintain a low profile in the palace, he cannot avoid taking action on the matter when the children of the emperor mysteriously begin to get sick. His actions put him in the spotlight of Jinshi, a beautiful eunuch that is responsible for managing all the affairs The Interior Palace. As opposite as water and oil, together they are dedicated to investigating the mysterious cases that are crossed along the way. You will not be able to avoid laughing when you see this pair, as well as its numerous misunderstandings, in action. In addition, the manga is impressive and reflects the talent of the artist, Nekokurage. ‘The newspapers of the apothecary’ is available in numerous formats. Apart from having its own anime in Crunchyroll, it is also available in Japanese light novel format, which is where it was born. After seeing the anime, I have read the manga and read the light novels because, as you can see, my head went a bit. However, I can only say that it is a will to how good this series is and how it leaves you asking for more. Jody Serrano The newspapers of the apothecary no. 01 * Some price may have changed from the last review ‘Travel with Herodoto’, by Rysard Kapuściński I have always liked to read. From childhood. But it took me much more to launch me for readings that can carry the label of “journalistic”, if we understand from chronicles to essays written by and for reporters. The first, I remember it well, was a book of Manu Leguineche about the vericuetos of this profession. I devoured it when I was in the second year of Baccalaureate, while I was enrolled in Communication Sciences. The second, if the memory does not falter me, was ‘the cynics do not work for this trade’, the classic classic of Rysard Kapuściński for aspiring stories. From those years of university I recognize that I had abandoned the Polish, the cheerful face, with a sharp look and populated eyebrows, that the students of my fifth contemplate with devotion when I went up to collect the Prince of Asturias. In the Faculty I also read ‘ebony’ and ‘One more day with life’, but I had one of his great works pending, which, if I am not wrong, puts the brooch to his bibliographic legacy and in a way it serves as a vital testament , professional and deontological: ‘Travel with Herodoto’. 2025 has started fulfilling that pending account. It has been my first reading. And how I appreciate it. ‘Travel with Herodoto’ is chronic, biography, communication treaty, sociological essay and a declaration of love towards reading and history, a philosophical manifesto and the daddy test that mixing the local and global approach is not only possible, it is also necessary. It is all that and something else: the frank and uncomplexed work of an extraordinary reporter who does not tremble the narrative when moving from his own childhood memories to the political column or the fragments of a chronicler who lived more than twenty centuries before him . ‘Travel with Herodotus’ is also something else: … Read more

The Poco F7 Pro and F7 Ultra will have a smaller battery

In the coming weeks, Xiaomi will globally launch the Poco F7 Pro and F7 Ultrawhich will be a renamed version of the Redmi K80 and K80 Pro (respectively) that the company previously announced in China. Everything indicates that these models will arrive with practically the same characteristics, except for one important difference that considerably harms the models that will debut outside the Asian market. As revealed Xiaomi Timea portal specialized in news and news from the brand, the Poco F7 Pro and F7 Ultra They will have a lower capacity battery compared to the Redmi K80 and K80 Pro. The Redmi K80, which would arrive in Europe under the name Poco F7 Pro, was launched in China with a battery of 6550mAhas well as a 90W fast charge. The global version, on the other hand, would have a battery of 6000mAh; also with a 120W fast charge. In any case, and although we lose 550 mAh, the battery capacity that will arrive with the Pro model will be more than enough even for the most demanding users. Where we will see an important difference is in the Poco F7 Ultra. The Redmi K80 Pro has a 6000 mAh batterywhile the version that will be announced in the global market could arrive with only 5300 mAh. In both cases, yes, with a 120W fast charge. Why the Poco F7 Pro and F7 Ultra will have less battery At the moment, Xiaomi has not justified this decrease in battery capacity, and the reasons are only assumptions. One of the reasons would be the reduction of production costs, which in turn would allow the models to be launched on the global market at a lower cost. It would not be strange if Xiaomi has also decided to limit the battery capacity for regulatory reasons in the European Union, or simply for safety. In any case, the Poco F7 Pro and F7 ultra They will arrive with very interesting specifications, including a processor Snapdragon 8 Elitea triple camera of up to 50 megapixels and a screen with 2K resolution. Of course, both the Poco F7 Pro and the Poco F7 Ultra will arrive with HyperOS 2.0the latest version of Xiaomi’s operating system, and they will do so under Android 15. Its price, however, remains unknown.

The Galaxy S25 have forgotten the best technology of the year

A sublime integration with Geminiinteresting news in the photographic section, the more powerful processor of the industry and a new design that we had been waiting for years for the most advanced model. These are some of the improvements that have made the Unpacked 2025 and that Samsung has shown as the main assets to buy one of the new Galaxy S25, S25+ or S25 Ultra. But, like everything in this life, you cannot get everything right in each section, and There is one that the Korean company has completely forgotten about. What is the great lack of the Samsung Galaxy S25? The battery. The company has not moved a single figure from one year to the next, and maintains the same mAh in each of the models. The design and dimensions hardly change in the new devices – beyond the new Ultra – which could justify the lack of news in this section. Samsung has gone too far when it comes to talking about its batteries, autonomy and fast chargingimplying that it is a section without much room for improvement. Is this true? Are there any relevant milestones in the industry? Has Samsung been left behind? The Galaxy S25 forgets the most important novelty in the battery industry in recent years We are not exaggerating in the slightest. During the last quarter of 2024, the battery industry—specifically those for mobile phones—has achieved a very relevant milestone: the marketing and distribution of silicon-carbon cells. Not only are they fully developed, but there are already several smartphones on sale that integrate them. A good example is the Xiaomi 15a device that was presented in China a couple of months ago with a increase of almost 900 mAh compared to the previous generation. The most interesting thing? Its thickness has only increased by 0.1 millimeterspractically nothing. All thanks to the higher energy density of silicon-carbon. Even much more modest models are betting on this technology. In the mid-range is the Honor Magic7 Litea newcomer to Spain that we have been able to test and that boasts of 6,600 mAh in a 7.98 millimeter body and 189 grams of weight. To put this data in perspective, the Galaxy S25 Ultra has a 5,000 mAh battery that is 8.2 millimeters thick. With these figures on the table, it is impossible not to think that Samsung has missed a good opportunity to make a difference. Opting for silicon-carbon batteries in the Galaxy S25 series would have been a true revolution and a very important leap compared to the previous generation. Only time will tell if Samsung is wrong with this decision, although one thing seems quite obvious: the competition, especially that which comes from China, wants to revolutionize autonomies by 2025 and make mobile phones with huge batteries that are not limited by a thicker or heavier design than normal. It’s a shame that Samsung hasn’t jumped on this boat. Fast charging, but not too fast This 2025 we not only have identical batteries to the 2024 generation, also a fast charge that does not move a single watt (W). Samsung is once again betting on 45 W in the Galaxy S25+ and S25 Ultra, while at the bottom of the list is the Galaxy S25 with a power of 25 W. It is another section that leaves us with a bittersweet taste. Samsung and Apple are fighting a lonely battle for slow fast charging, and while the market is not asking for abysmal 200W powers, it is supporting brands that choose to raise the level a little and allow 80 or 90 W recharges. The figures of the new mobile phones, without being considered slow – the 25 W of the Galaxy S25 yes, everything must be said – They are at the bottom of the industrysomething that does not quite add up when we talk about three mobile phones that intend to reign in the high-end for much of 2025. The Samsung Galaxy S25 are great devices, they come with a good dose of AI, several of the best cameras of the year and unparalleled power for gaming, but they have not managed to finish off and justify the generation step when we talk about battery and fast charging. Using silicon-carbon would have been the culmination, but Samsung wanted to reserve this technology for later.
