Samsung is already thinking about a future with OLED screens everywhere. Included in a collar or foldable console

by

One of the most entertaining activities you can do at the Mobile World Congress is to walk around the Samsung Display stand. This is Samsung’s division, one of the many it has, in charge of research and development of panels. If today we have the TriFold in the market is because, years ago, We saw its prototype displayed here. That’s why taking a look around their stand is so entertaining, because it lets you see what developments the company has in the works. Whether they see the light or not is another story, but the proposal is nice. OLED panels everywhere. Samsung is, along with LG and BOE, one of the few companies capable of produce OLED panels. That’s why it makes sense that the company wants to put them everywhere. Not only on premium mobile phones, where they are already practically omnipresent, or on televisions, but on every possible gadget, be it a controller, a console or a virtual assistant with AI. This is how Samsung makes money: the secret is in the IPHONE This smartphone unrolls and allows the diagonal of the screen to be increased | Image: Xataka From tiny to conventional size. One of the prototypes we have seen is a vertically rollable phone. The device has a motor that unfolds the screen upwards and hides it downwards, as if it were a blind, and allows you to have a compact phone and, if you want to play or read, a more elongated panel. Very interesting, although with some flaws. The main one is that, rolled up, what in another context would be an aluminum edge would, on this occasion, be a screen, one that is also very exposed to all kinds of misfortunes in the pocket, dirt, knocks, etc. It is striking as a concept, but perhaps it makes more sense on a laptop where, in fact, we are already starting to see them. This tablet unrolls to the side | Image: Xataka Here we can see the unwinding system | Image: Xataka What’s more, Samsung is in it. We have also seen this same roll-up panel technology in a type of tablet and a laptop. The latter is very reminiscent of the Lenovo proposal and unroll the screen to go from 13 to 17 inches. This format, still in its infancy, has a lot of potential if we think of a device that combines productivity and versatility. Samsung Rollable Laptop Concept | Image: Xataka On the tablet, which could also be understood as a portable external monitor, the panel goes from a panoramic format to a 4:3 format that is practically 1:1, something that can be somewhat useful when having several applications open and in office tasks. Without a doubt, where the roll-up format is going to shine is in medium/large panels. Whether we see them on the street or not… only time will tell. Laptop with vertical folding screen | Image: Xataka Laptop with vertical folding screen | Image: Xataka From big to bigger. One of the most curious prototypes has been this trilaptop. Unlike the TriFold, which has three screens, the two folds of this device come in the form of a keyboard and foldable screen. By default, it is a normal laptop, but if we unfold the screen it is like putting another 13-inch panel on top. Useful, very useful, especially for programming. In addition, the unfolded screen is not excessively thick, so the laptop, at least in theory, should not weigh more than necessary, although it will be heavier than normal. Folding console prototype | Image: Xataka So far the normal. Now let’s go with the most peculiar concepts. The first is a folding console. This device, which is clearly reminiscent of a Nintendo Switch, has a Fold-type folding panel that, at least in theory, seeks to make a portable console even more portable. The concept is interesting and I can imagine a console like this in a few years, although perhaps the price would be higher than the 400-550 euros that we are used to seeing. Console controller with integrated screen | Image: Xataka The second is a controller with a central screen. Central touch panels are not new, see Sony’s DualShock and DualSense, but adding a screen opens up a whole range of possibilities. That screen could be part of the HUD, offer actions, provide contextual information or serve to interact with the game in some way through gestures or quick touches. Very curious, it is one of those ideas that I wouldn’t be surprised to see implemented sooner rather than later. Necklace with OLED screen | Image: Xataka Nice necklace. But the concept that takes the cake is the necklace. It is, like everything else, a concept, but the idea is curious. What if, in the same way that you can change the watchface of your necklace, you could change the image of your necklace? The device is big, huge, something that is normal if we want the screen to have some prominence. In a few years will we see a diamond necklace with a GIF of a diamond spinning around? I have no proof, but I have no doubt either. Flexible Micro-LED Panels | Image: Xataka Space for Micro-LED. Samsung has also taken the opportunity to show some advances in Micro-LED, a technology called to be the Holy Grail of panels: OLED blacks, LCD brightness, without degradation or bloombing. The problem is that they are very expensive because their manufacturing is extremely complex. At the moment, we have only seen them on televisions whose prices exceed an average Spanish salary, but Samsung already seems to be working on bringing them to smaller formats. The key, of course, is the excellent color reproduction and brightness, which, in this case, amounts to 7,000 nits. Micro-RGB panel example | Image: Xataka Be that as it may, what is clear is that we are heading to a world full of screens where there were previously printed canvases. Samsung wants … Read more

The Nintendo DS was the best-selling console in the history of the Japanese manufacturer until now. It’s easy to guess who has surpassed her

by

The Nintendo Switch has become the best-selling console in the history of the Japanese company, as revealed by Nintendo in its financial report of February 3, 2026. With 155.37 million units sold until the end of December 2025, the hybrid system has surpassed the 154.02 million of the Nintendo DS, which held the record since its discontinuation in 2013. Two proposals. The data gain more weight considering that the Switch debuted in 2017 with a price of $299.99 (exactly double the $149.99 of the DS in 2004) and not has officially dropped in price in its eight years of commercial life. The concept of the DS (two screens, one of them touch) represented a risky bet when the industry prioritized graphical power. The console found its audience in sectors outside of traditional video games, with titles such as ‘Brain Training’ and ‘Nintendogs’ that attracted users with the same casual profile that the Wii had conquered. Added to this was the DS Lite, launched in 2006, which represented 61% of the system’s total sales: 93.86 million units. The Switch arrives. In 2017, the Switch was double the price of its portable predecessor. Its hybrid concept (functioning as a desktop console connected to the television and as a portable device) eliminated Nintendo’s traditional division between home and mobile platforms. And without price cuts: the OLED model, launched in 2021 at $349.99, meant a net increase in the market positioning of the system. Different pricing policies. The pricing strategy of both consoles differs significantly. Adjusted for inflation, the $149.99 DS in 2004 andThey would be equivalent to approximately $240 in 2024. The DS also experienced reductions during its life cycle, reaching $99.99 in 2011. The Switch, in contrast, has maintained its base price for eight years, something unusual in the consumer electronics industry. The accumulated inflation since 2017 has reduced the real value of the price by approximately 20%. For comparison, the PlayStation 2 dropped its price from $300 to $100 in less than a decade. But the Switch unifies two segments: while the DS competed exclusively as a portable platform (coexisting with the Wii and Wii U as home consoles), each Switch unit captures both the traditional home console and handheld audiences. The difference: the software. Beyond hardware, software performance reveals a gap between both systems. According to data from November 2025the Switch has sold 1,452.79 million software units throughout its life cycle, compared to the 948.76 million that the DS reached at the end of its production. A difference of 53% in favor of the Switch that indicates a greater commitment on the part of its user base. Put another way: each Switch owner has purchased an average of approximately 9.4 games, compared to 6.2 for DS users. The Switch catalog, which includes ports and remasters of titles previously exclusive to other platforms, has reached an audience that goes beyond the traditional Nintendo. PS2 objective. The Switch is still below the absolute industry record: Sony’s PlayStation 2 maintains the position of best-selling console of all time with figures that exceed 160 million units. This brand has generated some controversy after Sony updated its historical data including sales that were not previously listed in its public records. To reach that figure, the Switch would need to sell approximately 4.63 million additional units. However, Nintendo’s current projections contemplate only 750,000 more units until the end of the fiscal year. Besides, Switch 2 It has already sold 17.37 million units. The coexistence of both models on the market could accelerate the withdrawal of the original hardware.

This console that no one knows about and is full of strange games with motion control has sold more than Xbox

by

The toy that no one saw coming ended up becoming the unexpected phenomenon of Black Friday 2025. At the end of November and facing the Christmas campaign, a practically unknown console surpassed Xbox in sales and was positioned as the third best-selling hardware in the country, only behind PlayStation 5 and nintendo switch 2. What is it. Is called Nex Playgrounda motion-controlled gaming console made by a Silicon Valley startup that, until recently, was developing artificial intelligence applications to extract basketball scoring statistics. The product didn’t even appear on the industry’s radars until the data analysis firm Circana revealedafter studying console sales figures in recent weeks, which had accumulated 14% of total hardware sales during the most competitive period of the American commercial year. How it works. Its interior houses an 8-core ARM processor, 64 GB of storage and a wide-angle camera that constitutes the heart of the system. The tracking technology detects 18 points on the human body in real time using artificial intelligence algorithms that They process everything locallywithout sending data to the cloud. Some critics they have praised its design and motion tracking capabilities, but questioned the limited library of games and the subscription pricing scheme under which it operates. How much does it cost. Its entry price is $249, and includes five pre-installed games, such as ‘Fruit Ninja’. He full access to the catalog requires purchasing the Play Pass, at $89 annually or $49 quarterly. Still, the total cost of $338 would still be significantly below traditional consoles. The console deliberately aims at an audience other than the gamer traditional: families with young children looking for physical activity disguised as digital entertainment. The sales curve. PlayStation 5 led the market last Black Friday and surrounding dates, with a 47% market share. Switch 2 scored 24%, relegating Xbox to fourth position with less than 14% remaining, according to official data from Circana Retail Tracking Service. Nex’s sales trajectory draws a curve that defies any algorithmic prediction: in 2022, the company barely shipped 5,000 units of its console. The following year, that figure multiplied by thirty to reach 150,000 units. By 2024, the projection points to 600,000 systems sold. The evolution of Nex. The most radical transformation of Nex, the company behind Nex Playground, was not only technological, but also identity-based. The company was born in 2017, founded by a group of former Apple, Google and Facebook engineers led by David Lee. Its first app, ‘HomeCourt’, from July 2018, featured cutting-edge technology applied to a very specific market: basketball players, amateur or not, who wanted to analyze performance metrics. In July 2019 they signed a shareholding with NBA and they started to grow receive recognition. The pandemic and the closure of gyms revealed a fact that had gone unnoticed: people I downloaded the app to access minigames They were practically hidden. In 2021, Nex launched ‘Active Arcade’, a free app with 13 body movement mini-games, and they got more downloads in their first month than ‘HomeCourt’ in its entire history. In December 2023, they launched this Nex Playground, which physically materialized everything they had learned up to that point, seeking a family audience more than expert athletes. Agreements have been signed with brands such as Bluey, Peppa Pig, Barbie and the Ninja Turtles, and project more than $150 million in sales this year. In Xataka | Microsoft is killing Xbox for Excel

Breaking the console market seemed impossible. The Steam Machine has the potential to do it: Crossover 1×31

by

The arrival of the Steam Machine It took us all by surprise a few days ago. The console and PC hybrid developed by Valve may become a real meteorite for traditional consolesbut be careful because not everything has been said. Valve, which became famous after the development of the mythical ‘Half-Life’ended up becoming the great PC video game distributor of our time thanks to Steam. Although they already tried to attack the gaming PC market with their Steam Machines a decade ago, now the approach is very different. That first attempt came too soon, but things have changed a lot since then. Valve has made its Steam OS operating system (based on Linux) an excellent alternative to the one offered by Windows on PCs. Above all thanks to Proton, the layer that allows you to play Windows games on Steam OS as well as on Windows… or even better. We have seen the first clear example of the experience that Valve could offer in this sense in the Steam Deckwhich have been a modest success (about 6 million consoles sold), but which have sparked interest in portable consoles that even Microsoft has decided to manufacture with partners like ASUS. Now the Steam Machine proposes to be a promising alternative to the Xbox Series S/X and the PlayStation 5 and combine the best of both worlds: a console-type experience and almost the entire catalog of video games available in the world of Windows PCs. The only question is whether he will make it, and that’s where enters the price factor. It is a fact that we will know at the beginning of 2026, and it will be from then on that we will know if this machine works or not. We are talking about all of this precisely in this Crossover 1×31we hope you enjoy it!

more than 2,000 euros for each console generation and with nothing in property

by

Game Pass The price of your Tier More expensiveand not a pinch: an entire 50% that will apply to the Ultimate rate, a spectacular rise from 17.99 to 26.99 that is added to the one we already lived in July 2024, where 14.9 went to a still discreet 17.99 euros per month. A decision that puts on the table Not just an economic issuebut it forces the player to reflect on the nature of the service and what he obtains in exchange for the rate. Everything, nothing. It is an access system to games that We have completely naturalized to the point of turning it into a fee that governs the rest (PlayStation Plusfor example, it is “Sony’s game passs”). But it is amazing how we have become accustomed, over time, to His indisputable sticksvery visible, go unnoticed. That could change with this notorious price increase. The first thing is first. In spring this year It was already very clear that Microsoft’s main business was to make games to get in Game Pass. For a couple of seasons the company was already completely open to the idea that Xbox consoles are not necessary, but that it can be played with the platform titles on any screen with screen, thanks to the cloud. It was at that time where, in addition, we saw something unusual: Microsoft had become the main PlayStation editor, thanks to the success of games such as ‘Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’, ‘Minecraft’ E ‘Indiana Jones and the big circle’. There is no doubt: the least in Microsoft is their own consoles. We can play when, where and as we want. It is an idea that has a clear dark reverse: we have nothing in property, we are only renting a service. And the accounts are increasingly uphill: if each console generation lasts seven years, and we opt for the ultimate option of the service, we will have spent more than 2,200 euros to play. Strictly in playing, but not in a console and games that we can, for example, resell to cover future expenses. We are paying a money for nothing tangible in return, a drama that we already know well about the streamingbut somehow, he felt different when we had a very visible console next to the TV. Too cheap to be true. The funny thing is that the general sensation, As my partner Álex Alcolea saysis that Game Pass was “too cheap”: offer front -row games like ‘Silksong‘ either ‘Clair Oscur: Expedition 33‘(more everything that Microsoft studies develop) from day one was a bet that sounded very well for the player, but than made more than one analyst scratch the head: Was it economically sustainable in time? The purchase of activation by 68.7 billion dollars He only adds doubts to the subject: Game Pass smelled too much of a bargain. Taking ball. Microsoft has been trying to overcome its competitors for a while with an economic muscle’s blow: the purchase of Bethesda and Activision, the very affordable prices of Game Pass -rebosante for years of an indisputable attraction, between set in streaming and important releases on a day one- and survival without apparent problems to the Sales fall of Xbox Series. But all that seems to begin to change, and the price increase of Game Pass seems to sound at the beginning of the change: will we see up in the other rates? Will Microsoft definitely claudicate to have exclusive one in your service? Will there be more Xbox consoles? At the moment, we all have to undertake a considerable reflection on how much and why we are willing to spend. Header | Microsoft In Xataka | The portable Xbox is finally a reality.

The most powerful console in the world is not from Sony or Microsoft. It is from Nvidia, and costs $ 20 a month

by

The cloud game was the future. But it seems that The future resists arrivingbecause the gamers continue to prefer to go to their consoles and their pcs. And yet GeForce Nowthat has just reinforced the big. For all. To start, the guts. The GeForce Now infrastructure has been reinforced, and now the servers in charge of distributing all these games may Take advantage of the powerful RTX 5080 graphics that will undoubtedly help the fluidity of the experience be as perfect as possible. The goal has always been the same: that you do not notice that you are playing in the cloud. That hardware will of course help you get it. The update occurs two years after the last great improvement of that infrastructure, which then It was filled with the predecessors of those graphicsRTX 4080. Best experience. This hardware improvement will also allow you to enjoy streaming games to resolutions that reach 5K at 120 fps, or at 1080p at 360 fps. Users of Steam Deck Oled They can enjoy cloud game at 90 Hz (before was only 60 Hz). There is A new mode called Cinematic Quality Streaming that according to NVIDIA improves the quality of colors and graphics in general, in addition to supporting the distribution of games to 100 Mbps, when before the maximum was 75 Mbps. More data per second, better graphic quality and fluidity. Or what is the same: best experience. Steam to power. Another of the great novelties is the arrival of the option “Install -to-Play”, which actually returns an old characteristic: to be able to install games without waiting for Nvidia to “homologue” as compatible on its platform. That means we can install old games from our library and then enjoy them in the cloud, but also games that are part of the catalog of Steam Cloud Play. Many more games. According to one of the NVIDIA managers, that will suddenly allow the Geforce Now catalog will be reinforced with “2,352 games” present in Steam. This option also facilitates that future games and demos are included in the Cloud Gaming platform in Nvidia in a simple way: it will suffice that its developers activate that option by distributing them in Steam. But. There is a small disadvantage in this option, it is in the fact that the Install-To-Play games cannot be instantly executed as it happens with the “approved” games. We will have to download them and install them every time we want to enjoy them, unless we pay Nvidia a subscription to enjoy storage in the cloud for those games: three dollars per month for 200 GB, five dollars a month for 500 GB or eight dollars per month for 1 TB. Strategic alliances. To that catalog are added new alliances that further reinforce the options of the platform. Now GeForce Now can “merge” with Discord, and gamers can try new games for free directly from discord serverswithout the need to log in to GeForce Now. Epic Games is part of this agreement, and the result is striking: a user can start playing Fortnite from Discord in just a few seconds and without installing anything. At the moment the service has just taken its first steps, but Nvidia expects more and more studies to offer that possibility for players to have another alternative, especially if they are discord users. Pay $ 20 a month for renting a PC? The truth is that all these developments make Nvidia’s GeForce Now service, but once again what we “rent” is not the ability to play video games, but “a cloud pc” to enjoy them. The service does not include the games, which we will have to buy separately if we had not bought them. It is an important difference with respect to analternatives such as Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, that “video game” that does include by default a large catalog of hundreds of titles. A small cost analysis. The cost of owned by a console compared to the use of a service such as GeForce Now allows you to get an idea of whether or not to compensate for an option like this. Consoles like Xbox Series x wave PS5 They are around 600 euros, while their basic online subscription services (Xbox Game Pass Core / PS Plus) are priced at 80 euros per year. Meanwhile, Geforce Now has a fixed cost of 22 euros per month. If we take a five -year period without taking into account the cost of acquiring the games, the cost of those five years would be the following: Consoles: 1,000 euros (approximately) GeForce Now: 1,320 euros Two philosophies and both are good. But of course, we are facing two very different proposals: the consoles offer a consistent and predictable experience, but always dependent on playing where the console is. With Geforce Now we can enjoy an high -end PC experience in all types of devices – our TV, an old PC, a Steam Deck – although we depend on some external factors such as connectivity. Even so, the recurring cost is higher after that period, but as “virtual console”, its validity is clear. Here it should be remembered that GeForce Now It has striking rivals In this segment (Gamepass, Luna), which further enriches the panorama for users. The options are good.

The Nintendo console surprises more because of what it maintains that for what it changes

by

Can you imagine playing ‘Cyberpunk 2077‘In one Nintendo portable console … And that the experience is surprisingly good? The Switch 2 It is here and, after several weeks of real use, we are clear about what has changed, what is maintained and how the Japanese company has responded to The criticisms that “does not innova”. On this new 24/7 of the Xataka YouTube channel —The same format in which we have already tested the Pixel 9a wave DJI OSMO POCKET 3– We tell you how the new Nintendo console behaves when you really use it daily. Because one thing is to see the specifications and another very different living with it. Nintendo has worked well in the Switch 2 redesign. Although maintains the essence of the original modelthere are important changes in size, materials and ergonomics that are noted from the first use. “The console, as I said in Unboxing, feels better in hand. As more Premium. Nintendo has worked on this and it shows that it is an evolution. ” It is a bigger console, yes, and also heavier. “It’s something that shows nothing more,” says our partner. Now, these changes compromise comfort or quite the opposite? Do they affect use in long sessions or improve experience? In the video we respond to that and much more, after weeks trying it thoroughly. The screen is one of the points that generated the most doubts. “I was one of those who thought that an LCD panel, after having had a nintendo switch with Oled, was to step back … and it was a mistake“That is one of the big surprises. As he explains, the LCD Full HD panel with 120 Hz offers a more than dignified experience, with good representation of color, more than enough gloss indoors and great fluidity. And outdoors?” It looks good, but under the direct sun it costs to enjoy it a little more. “ It should be noted that the console offers two graphic modes, both in laptop and Dock: one with higher quality and another performance focused. But beyond the figures, the important thing is that there are no pulls or falls of Frames In demanding games. “CD Projakt has managed to adapt the game to Switch 2 to look good, be playable and do not suffer annoying pulls.” There is also room for visual improvements in classics such as’Zelda: Breath of the Wild‘. “It is rendered to 1440p native And 4K is scale via DLSS in desktop mode. ”So how well does it work in portable mode? Will we notice the difference? In the video are the answers to these questions. Where there is a limitation is in autonomy. “I have not achieved three hours in any scenario,” he acknowledges. The best result was achieved with ‘Mario Kart World‘(2h 37m) and the worst, with’Cyberpunk 2077‘(1h 58m). “This becomes the weak point of the console.” And if you wonder how long it takes to recharge, the data we have verified might surprise you. For the rest, there are small details that should not be overlooked, such as its exclusive compatibility with MicroSD Express, among other things. Is this the great new generation laptop we expected from Nintendo? In the last video of the Xataka YouTube channel We tell you the full experience, With all the lights and the occasional shadow. Because one thing is to see figures … and another very different live with the console day after day. Do not forget to leave your comments about this expected device.

I have been on the PS5 for a month. My new console is Netflix and I am clear that it is the future of video games

by

I love video games, but this last month it has been difficult to find a hole to play.

And I don’t like the idea at all. 7 tricks to make Netflix the most Turning TV into a console. Netflix does not need a presentation, but from a few years to this part, in addition to having series and movies on its platform, it also has video games. Recently, its application on televisions and devices such as Chromecast HE updated with a new menu which allowed to see more clearly the tab dedicated to video games. Just because, Netflix has mobile video games For a long time, but on TV it is more recent. And it is not that you need much to play them: simply TV, choose the compatible game (it is in beta and something tells me that it will never get out of there) and a mobile. These games are executed in the cloud and, when we click on which we want, we simply scan the QR code that appears on the screen with our mobile and it becomes the game command. So simple. ‘Oxenfree’ is a spectacular adventure The experience. Go ahead that 80% of the few games that Netflix allows you to play on TV convince me rather little. They are not for me, but there are about three or four that I have been playing a lot and I think they are a good gate to the world of video games for people who have not played so far. Because starting to play is very simple and the games that Netflix is ​​testing are nothing demanding with the controls. ESCANES THE QR WITH YOUR MOBILE AND MADE There is a crosshead, a couple of action buttons and voila. It is focusing on more narrative, puzzles or management experiences, and not needing great reflexes are, as I say, a good entrance door. In addition, although image quality is not the best, they work really well in the cloud. The experience and number of servers that Netflix have and is a very satisfactory plug & play experience. The good thing is also that you have games on the mobile included with your subscription. These do have to install them and they are somewhat more complex about their controls (spend something like ‘GTA San Andreas‘ either ‘Katana Zero‘Without a command I see it impossible), but they are quality games and that, as I say, allow someone who pay 8 euros per month and do not have a console or PC can enjoy video games. The command could not be simpler. And that is good The catalog mess. The problem is that, although in recent weeks I had a great time with Netflix’s video games, you never know how long they will last on the platform. Or how much will the platform itself last. This week we learned that, after a very strong bet of Netflix for video games, they were going to start withdrawing some of the best they had. 20% of the catalog disappearsbeing among those who strive balls like ‘Hades‘,’ Katana Zero ‘, the three’Monument Valley‘,’Death’s Door‘or the sublime’Braid‘. It is something that adds to closure of your AAA study In October of last year, which leaves us with the feeling that this great bet that the company made, investing a lot of money on servers, technology, titles such as’ and buying licenses as the aforementioned ‘GTA’ Or studies like Night School, staggers. And it’s strange when His initial bet was extremely upset And little by little, They struggled so that they were taken into account in this video game. But yes, it is the future. I do not mean that the future is Netflix in particular, but to this type of experience. We will see what path Netflix follows after the very bad news of recent days, but as someone who opted for Stadiawho has played a lot to the cloud games of Game Pass and PS Now and enjoy your Steam library with Steam Link and GeForce NowI am clear that the future is not a pot that consumes light and occupies a space in the Tele furniture, but something like Steam Decka Consolidated PC or Nintendo Switch 2 and, to play on TV, the game in the cloud. And think that this will be the future does not mean that I like it, since that implies the definitive death of a physical format that is very touched and that it is, although it does not always happen, the only thing that assures us that the games are ours. Because with the new albums that are launchersthe Game Key Card De Switch 2 or digital games, unfortunately there are more and more examples than The games do not belong to us As it happened before. But that is a topic for another day and something very personal. What I am clear is that someone who did not enjoy video games, with proposals such as Netflix or Amazon Luna They can get into the car. And that is great.
