20 years ago, BWM allied with a Chinese manufacturer to make motorcycles. Now, that manufacturer has eaten the toast completely

The Chinese motorcycle is sweeping in Spain. So much so that at the level of brands two of the four best selling in our country They come from China. Honda and Yamaha, the Japanese mythical, endure the attack on the accumulated sales, but analyzing the photograph begins to change. A lot. The best -selling trail in Spain is VOGEthe Premium brand of the Chinese giant Loncin. This manufacturer landed in our country in 2019, today is the fourth manufacturer of the ranking, behind another Chinese manufacturer who cups third place: Zontes. About Voge, there is a curious story about how a Chinese brand is managing to conquer Europe … From the hand of a German giant. Loncin has been manufacturing BMW engines for more than 20 years And, in fact, many of the current flagship models of the German brand, such as the BMW F 900 GSThey have these engines made in China. The collaboration agreement Born in 2005, Loncin promised to redouble investment in equipment and installation to manufacture with the BMW standards and the requirements of The euro standardseven going beyond the manufacture of engines: they also manufactured motorcycles for the German company. BMW C 400 GT VS VOGE SR4 MAX 350. The BMW Scooter is based on the BWM platform and technologies. In his plan to increase income and reinforce ties with the Chinese giant, BWM licensed some of his platforms and engines to Voge, and hence the motorcycle that is sweeping in our country arises. Voge is currently the fourth Spanish manufacturer. BMW the seventhwith problems growing month by month. With the VOGE 900 DSX they have achieved their goal: Head the sales ranking in the traile segmentone of the most important and aspirational in the world of motorcycle. It is a model that drinks directly from the BMW F900gs, with the difference that at the equipment level, it is significantly above. The data is not only relevant to leadership in its category: it is because Voge has managed to place a trail of almost 10,000 euros in the third position of the best -selling brands in Spain. The other 9 are scootersa category that Cup more than 50% of the total sales in our country. VOGE 900 DSX. China’s plan to conquer the European consumer in the world of motorcycle is in two pillars: the quality-price and equipment. Regarding the first, The VOGE 900 DSX is sold for € 9,192 in Spain. Its counterparts in BMW, the F 800 GS and F 900 GS, start from € 10,970 and € 13,980, respectively. If we want to equip them, the price exceeds 15,000 euros. The commitment to notice of obstacles at the dead angle (something only common in motorcycles that cost almost double), emergency braking warning system, rapid series change, or a seven -inch TFT with Screen Mirroring are a notice to the rest of the segment giants: the selling a base product and becoming based on extras is a game in which China is not going to enter.

Google has been angry to redesign Android 16 completely. It won’t serve much

With Android 16Google operating system lovers are congratulations. This version will be one of the biggest changes in design in the history of Android, with the arrival of Material 3 Expressive as New language for UI. As usual, Google showed in the Pixel How the new interface would behave. The problem? The Pixel are the exception, not the rule. Material 3 Expressive. In case you had lost it, earlier this week Google advanced one of the greatest novelties that will arrive with Android 16. It is material 3 Expressive, the greater design update in the operating system in years. It is the natural jump after Youand it is both changes in Google’s native applications and system changes: adjustments, icons, animations … practically everything will be refined with the new design language. Pixel First. As usual, having a pixel will result in being the first to enjoy this design change. The first beta is expected to arrive this month, expressing material 3 expressive and that, As of Junethe stable versions begin to arrive. For the rest of the manufacturers, as usual … everything falls on their roof. Android fragmentation remains an absolute disaster, So we do not expect Android 16 in the high range until the end of this year or early 2025. Hopefully. Magic The usual problem. Beyond the problem with fragmentation, the problem is that Google’s demands so that manufacturers respect their design lines are not too strict. In fact, there are numerous layers that look more like iOS than what Google proposes with the Pixel. With material 3 Expressive two problems arrive. The first is that Google apps will change, and a lot. If manufacturers do not follow these design lines (something they have been doing for years), we will continue to have the huge inconsistencies in interface that Android has been dragging for years. Second, the same thing happens with the system itself. Little or nothing serves that Google works to unify the design of Android, Wearos, Android Auto and even Android XR, if manufacturers do what they want with their layers. No solution at the sight. Android, despite the changes he has suffered in recent years, is still an open source system. The Guidelines They force certain minimums, but not to follow the design guidelines they mark. The manufacturer can use the UI framework that I wanted, something that ends completely with the visual coherence of the system. Android diversity is one of its forts, but there are layers anchored in designs for years (some have practically the same interface in their apps for more than three years) is a symptom of a problem: giving freedom is incompatible with a consistent ecosystem.

People are completely obsessed with the ‘GTA VI’ trailer. And you are looking for clues and theories in every detail

It is inevitable: when a New Trailer of a long -awaited cultural artifact as’GTA VI‘, immediately the second to second analysis of each of their plans in search of clues, details, Easter eggs. Internet in full becomes a field of culture for amateur detectives, in search of clues that sometimes set in facts and sometimes not. And that search is part of the game. Some examples. For example, there are some of the most notorious examples of what has been found in this new trailer of ‘GTA VI’, beyond general deductions such as the Importance of love story Among the protagonists or the colorful graphic impulse that has received this delivery. There was Rumors That this delivery will give considerable space to manage in the gym, and an image of a weightlifter on the beach seems to confirm it. It was already an important mechanic in ‘San Andreas’. Finally we have different images of the same characters, and a wide variety of haircuts, stature, facial features, body structure … in a similar way, we see the same house increasingly improved and decorated. It seems that the customization of the appearance will be the order of the day, and it is something that fans are talking about For months. Fight Clubs! That seems to be deduced from a fleeting plane of Lucia fighting in a ring surrounded by public that jelly after a fence. One of the most juicy and commented winksfrom what it implies at the “GTA Multiverse” level, it is a very direct to ‘Vice City’: an advertisement of a weapon store, presented by someone who could be Phil Cassidy. The curious thing is that Cassidy is part of a temporal line (the one known as 3D GTA) apart from ´RSTA (the HD line). Are the multiversos, with the possibility that we see characters from ‘VC’, like Tommy Vercetti? Is it a simple wink? Is this of Phil so even the same character? AND A tipfrom the trailer, but of the launch date. He May 26, 2026 It is the 92 anniversary of the funeral of Bonnie and Clydethe gangsters couple in which Jason and Lucía are obviously inspired. The city of vice. Those examples mentioned above are only the tip of the iceberg: some of the rumors and theories directly extracted from the trailer and their surroundings. But there is much more: getting carried away by the underworld of the Fan theories gives a good measure of the passion that unleashes a game, which in the case of GTA VI is excessive. Normal, taking into account that the franchise has sold 440 million copies. And as it deepens that Meme’s own icebergtheories are going crazy. The theory that the trailer weapons seller is Phil Cassidy derives from another much crazier: ‘Vice City’ and ‘GTA III’ are films that see the most realistic game characters such as ‘GTA VI’. The relationship between Jason and Lucia, of course, branches in many theories, which cover all probabilities: since there will be more playable characters than Jason is a policeman. Reddit is an authentic hotbed of theories about the particular (here There is an example, here another, and too here either here). Crazy dates. Where the Delirio Fan really unleashes is in the theories to guess launch dates and upcoming trailers. We already have a definitive date (esoterically linked to Bonnie and Clyde), but until it was announced, attempts have been occurred to predict all kinds. Numerology and hidden patterns are always very juicy (they set, for example, from previous games releases that They pointed to the last Thursday of January). They are not the only secret codes that are traced: there are direct references to previous games of Rockstar as ‘Max Payne 3’. A Mixture of conspiracy and numerology That, first of all, it denotes a spectacular ingenuity. A unique phenomenon. With ‘GTA VI’ a series of circumstances meet, beyond the spectacular sales we mentioned, which shape a phenomenon that is transcended a simple long -awaited game, and that configures this devotion, which sets in the continuous search for Easter tracks and eggs. For example, there is the long time space that passes between the launch of the games: when ‘GTA VI’ will go 13 years of the launch of ‘GTA V’. And Rockstar It has not been lavished with other games: Only ‘Red Dead Redemption 2’ in 2018. Cultivation broth. All that time has served for ‘GTA’ to become a phenomenon of cult, transgenerational in terms of video games and sufficient than the previous titles of the franchise acquire the category of mythical. It is a phenomenon that very few games can boast and that has an extra incentive: ‘GTA’ is not linked to any concrete console or system, so fanaticism for the franchise is oriented to games itself, not marks or console wars. The secret is in the fomo. The phenomenon of Fear of Missing Outor fear of being left out, it is essential to understand the way that companies like Rockstar have to manage these crises: for a year we will have the feeling of needing news about ‘GTA VI’ to placate the desire. And therefore, these trailers full of Easter Eggs That they promise very attractive news and game modes (they don’t really promise anything, but make the public imagine those promises) are not, at all, a patch to appease the crisis. Rather the opposite: they are an essential tool for fever for ‘GTA VI’ not to decline.

The folding market is completely stagnant. It’s excellent news for Apple

According to data from Counterpoint Researchfolding mobile sales face a stagnation cycle, one that has been suffering from 2023 and will not overcome until well into 2026. One of the main causes has to do with Samsung, manufacturer that was already Detronated by Huawei losing the company crown that sells more folding in the world. This was mainly due to the boom of Huawei and the folding in China, but in Europe Samsung’s sales remain the ones that drive the market. With a 33%drop, Samsung drags the global photo, next to an Oppo that falls by 72%. The rest of the manufacturers add so many, highlighting Motorola, Honor and Xiaomi, mainly. The big change is expected in 2026, for a main reason. This is the year in which the arrival of the first folding iPhone is expected. If Apple manages to give on the key, it will be a key device to revive demand for this format. The company will not be easy: the durability and final price challenges are two of the main problems of the phones in this format, something that no manufacturer has managed to solve to date.
