The European Union is very clear about the future of its network infrastructure: there will not be a single Chinese device

by

Europe is intensifying its battle against Chinese equipment, both in its electrical network and in its telecommunications infrastructure. The European Commission has again recommended earlier this week the exclusion of Huawei and ZTE equipment by local telecommunications operators, paving the way for a review of the Cybersecurity Regulation in which it is proposed mandatory elimination of high-risk suppliers. A new touch. The European Commission has started the week with a reminder: member states must exclude Huawei and ZTE equipment from their telecommunications network. In January of this year, Europe published a draft establishing the mandatory withdrawal of “high-risk suppliers”, posing a formal veto on Chinese telecommunications companies. It is a particularly sensitive issue in Spain, where communities like Catalonia have ignored European recommendations and they have renewed again recently with companies that use Huawei equipment. The Generalitat case. Last March, the Generalitat of Catalonia renewed its contract with XCAT. A budget of 127 million euros to maintain Huawei as the main equipment supplier, despite the EU notice and challenges from Telefónica and Cellnex that paralyzed the process for a few weeks. {“videoId”:”x9gqo70″,”autoplay”:false,”title”:”YOU ARE NOT GETTING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR MOBILE if you are not using AI like this”, “tag”:”Webedia-prod”, “duration”:”617″} In addition to the Catalan case, practically a third of Spanish 5G networks are from Huawei, with an estimated replacement cost between 400 and 1,000 million euros. Beyond. It is not the only measure that Europe wants to implement against Chinese suppliers. The Commission also wants to protect itself in relation to renewable energies, vetoing access to community funds to those projects using converters made in China. “Our risk assessments have confirmed threats, including manipulation of electricity production parameters, interruption of electricity generation and even unauthorized access to operational data. In practice, this could mean a blackout, a remote blackout of Member States’ networks leading to nationwide power outages.” As with the network infrastructure, according to the Commission, this measure responds to a shield for security reasons, applicable from next November 1. Again, a blow to the giant Huawei, one of the main suppliers of solar inverters in Spain. In Xataka 6G is not being developed to improve mobile speed: it is geopolitics and China is going with the accelerator to the table The Chinese response. China is no stranger to the measures being prepared by Europe, and has made it clear that it considers these proposed acts to be discriminatory and harmful to trade. Without detailing his plans, he has made it clear that he will take countermeasures. The Swedish case. Decisions have consequences, and Sweden is a country that knows very well what happens if you ban Huawei on your telecommunications equipment. In 2020, the country banned the use of telecommunications equipment from Chinese manufacturers under the argument of national security. Although a priori this was a lifeline for Ericsson, the consequences were just the opposite. China retaliated, and China Mobile expelled Eriscsson from its network infrastructure, going from 11% market share to 2%. In case Europe hits China again. In Xataka | There is a crucial technology for the deployment of AI and China is also securing the lead: 6G (function() { window._JS_MODULES = window._JS_MODULES || {}; var headElement = document.getElementsByTagName(‘head’)(0); if (_JS_MODULES.instagram) { var instagramScript = document.createElement(‘script’); instagramScript.src=”https://platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js”; instagramScript.async = true; instagramScript.defer = true; headElement.appendChild(instagramScript); – The news The European Union is very clear about the future of its network infrastructure: there will not be a single Chinese device was originally published in Xataka by Ricardo Aguilar .

OpenAI already knows which device will replace our smartphone in the age of AI. It will be another smartphone, according to Kuo

by

He doesn’t always get it right, but Ming-Chi-Kuo just made a particularly striking statement. According to your dataOpenAI is preparing its first “mobile AI agent”, a smartphone that will be quite different from the current ones not so much in form as in substance. If its predictions come true, we could be facing a device that will shake the pillars of the current mobile segment. Hello, “OpenAI phone”. Kuo states that mass production of this smartphone designed by OpenAI will begin in the first half of 2027. He also tells us that the SoC that will govern this device will be a customized version of the future MediaTek Dimensity 9600 manufactured with TSMC’s N2P process and that will theoretically arrive in the second half of the year. The mobile that wants to see the world. This chip will have some special features, such as an ISP (Integrated Signal Processor) with an HDR system that allows optimizing the visual perception of the world. It is logical: the mobile wants to become an integral part of our interaction with the world, and that visual capacity is critical. Two NPUs better than one. It will also have a dual NPU architecture to increase its AI computing capacity. It will theoretically integrate LPDDR6 memory and will have UFS 5.0 to avoid memory bottlenecks. If all goes well, Kuo says, between 2027 and 2028 30 million units will be distributed. Not anything else, but the plan seems incredibly ambitious. Paradigm shift. This type of device, Kuo points outwill doom the UI as we know it. The concept of navigating a patchwork of icons to perform independent tasks will be obsolete. The concept proposed by OpenAI understands that the user does not want to use an “application stack”, but rather achieve objectives through a centralized agent. This implies a radical redesign of the smartphone in which the screen stops being a menu of options and becomes a kind of mirror of what the user wants, of their “intentions.” We went from a manual interaction to a proactive inference, because the AI ​​is responsible for detecting what needs to be done to complete the action that the user needs. Without touching the screen. Task resolution rules over navigation. OpenAI being Apple. To achieve this OpenAI needs to control everything on this device, so similar to what happens with Apple and its iPhone. For an AI agent to function seamlessly, it needs access to sensors and device status in real time, something that current operating systems restrict by design. OpenAI wants to control both the hardware and the software to capture all the relevant information at all times. The technical barrier is not the AI ​​model, but that total control that also requires perfect management of memory and energy consumption. Apple, by the way, is in that same battle, although in a different way. The energy challenge. It seems logical to think that this device bases a good part of its capacity on AI models in the cloud, but also that it will have the ability to execute some tasks thanks to small local models. Hence having two NPUs that allow at least certain tasks to be executed on the mobile itself. That will be crucial precisely regarding energy consumptionbecause this AI that automates tasks by chaining them consumes much more computing than the usual interaction with an app today. App Store in danger of extinction. There is a particularly striking idea here. The app store economics faces existential disruption. The current model relies on friction: you need to open a specific app for each task, which justifies the 30% “tax” and the walled garden. If an AI agent can book a flight or order food by directly accessing the background APIs, the icon on the home screen disappears. The “app” stops being a destination and becomes an invisible tool. This not only threatens Apple’s revenue, but redefines mobile development towards an “API-first” ecosystem, where the graphical interface is irrelevant and competition is decided by agent efficiency, not UI design. Goodbye, privacy? And in this context, privacy could once again become the price of that “it’s so convenient to use a device like this” of these future mobiles. For an AI agent to be useful and function truly autonomously, it needs to know everything or almost everything about us. Our location, health, messages and of course the screen content at all times, among other things. The opacity of proprietary models will mean that we will never know what data is leaked to the cloud to “improve the service”, turning privacy into a variable controlled (once again) by the manufacturer. In Xataka | Microsoft has insisted on making Windows “agent.” His users have reminded him that they had not asked for it

Samsung has shown a new device with AI. It is not what we imagined and is reminiscent of an Apple idea

by

When they tell us about a new device with artificial intelligencethe normal thing is that we think of a mobile phone, a laptop or, at most, the disappointing Rabbit R1 either Humane AI Pin. That’s why it’s interesting to stop when a company like Samsung teaches something that doesn’t quite fit into any of those boxes. What we have seen this time is not a common gadget, but a rather revealing clue as to how the South Korean giant could imagine a possible home interface of the future. What Samsung has shown in Milan is called Project Luna and, at least for now, it moves in the field of concepts. It is a desktop device with a mobile circular screen that acts as a head and can rotate to face the user. The company’s materials also show that this head not only rotates, but also changes orientation depending on the angle it needs. With that combination, Samsung draws a home device that wants to look less like a conventional speaker and more like an object designed to interact with the user. A concept that points further than a speaker One of the scenes that Samsung has used to show Luna places it on a kitchen table, connected to the user’s smartphone, playing music with an interface reminiscent of a record player and answering questions both by voice and on screen. In that same demonstration he also appears controlling the lighting in the room and suggesting food options for the day. Additionally, there are projectors scattered around the kitchen that display data such as the calories in the recipe or a calendar notice for a dinner party. And that’s where Luna begins to tell us something more interesting than her own design. In an interview with Fast CompanyMauro Porcini, Samsung’s chief design officer, explained that this concept represents more of “a vibe, a feeling of the type of design language we want to use.” The phrase matters because it lowers any immediate commercial reading and forces us to look at it differently. Rather than anticipating a launch, the firm seems to use this project to teach the type of language and relationship with the user that it wants to explore in future AI devices. And at that point it is difficult not to remember Apple. In August 2024, Mark Gurman told Bloomberg that the company was moving forward with the development of a home desktop device that would combine an iPad-like screen with a robotic arm. The proposal, according to that informationwas conceived as a home control center, a tool for video calls and a remote surveillance system, with a screen capable of tilting and rotating 360 degrees using actuators. It has not materialized as a product, but there is some underlying parallel with what Samsung is now teaching. The most interesting reading may not be in looking for an exact equivalence between what Samsung has taught and the rumors about Apple, but in stopping at the underlying trend. What we’ve seen suggests that home AI could end up taking a much more tangible form than the assistants or screens we already know. We are not yet talking about a consolidated category, far from it. But it does provide a fairly serious clue as to where the industry could move in the coming years. At this point, the temptation is to think: okay, that sounds good, but where exactly does something like this fit into our daily lives. Because we can imagine it on the kitchen counter, recommending a mealanswering a quick question or accompanying us while music plays, and the scene is even convincing. The problem is that that same house is already full of devices that already cover a good part of all that. Images | Samsung In Xataka | Meta spent 2 billion on a Chinese AI startup.

This is how the device that has triggered fines in France works

by

If at any time we come across a metallic, angular and almost futuristic-looking trailer on the road, it is easy for us to think of anything but a speed camera. However, that design that vaguely resembles a vehicle like the Tesla Cybertruck It has a much more specific function: controlling speed and automatically penalizing those who exceed it. What we have seen in other countries already has a presence in Spain, and everything indicates that its impact is not going unnoticed. the real name. Although the name “Cybertruck radar” It has become popular for its appearancewhat we have before us is a system with first and last name: Poliscan Enforcement Trailermanufactured by the German company Vitronic. Its approach is different from other radars that we already know. Here we are talking about a speedometer installed on a trailer that can be easily moved and that is designed to operate autonomously, without the constant presence of operators. How it works. We have already seen that it does not need constant supervision, but its operation goes one step further. This towed radar can operate for long periods thanks to high-performance batteries, which allows it to be deployed in points where there is no electrical connection or fixed infrastructure. Once installed, it controls speed precisely in several lanes and can manage violations without the need for police presence at the time. In addition, it incorporates protection measures against sabotage, from sensors that detect movements to elements designed to make any tampering attempt difficult, and can be connected to process disciplinary proceedings. Where is it in Spain. If we now look at the Spanish case, the starting point is clear: Catalonia was the first community to incorporate this type of towed radars. Here, yes, the sources do not completely agree on the figures and dates.Infotrànsit, in a post dated March 2, 2026states that the Servei Català de Trànsit incorporated them into the road network in 2023 and raises the number to ten operational tow radars. The direction seems clear: expand the fleet during 2026 and concentrate it on sections with higher accident rates, with the AP-7 as one of the corridors where this type of control fits most clearly. The French mirror. A precedent that explains its impact. To understand why this type of radar is gaining prominence, it is worth looking at France, where they have been deployed for years and with measurable results. According to data collected by Motorpasiónin 2022 there were about 340 devices of this type, which represented approximately 7.5% of the country’s total radars. However, their weight in the sanctions was much greater: they accounted for more than a quarter of the 25.5 million fines registered. That is to say, its presence was relatively limited, but the data points to a capacity to detect infractions much greater than its weight within the system. Beyond its design or its impact on the figures, what is drawn with this type of device is a change in the way of controlling speed on the road. Both the Servei Català de Trànsit and the DGT have focused on sections where the risk is greater, from roads with high accident rates to construction areas where signage changes and drivers do not always adjust their gear. In this context, towed radars fit as a flexible tool, capable of adapting to different situations.

an AI that follows you from one device to another without losing track

by

Motorola has presented its first ‘fold’ type foldable at Lenovo Tech World 2026, an ultra-premium line called Signature and, above all, Motorola Qira: an AI platform (they call it “personal ambient intelligence”) shared with its parent company Lenovo that works on smartphones, tablets and computers, maintaining the context between all of them. Why is it important. Lenovo and Motorola’s commitment to AI is something different: that AI is the same on all your devices. It sounds obvious, but it is not so obvious. Qira maintains the context, the data and the conversation. You start something on your mobile in the morning and continue it on your laptop in the afternoon without repeating anything. The move attacks today’s biggest productivity problem: switching between apps and devices often breaks your workflow. Each change involves explaining again what you need. Between the lines. This is clearly a response from Lenovo to the strengths of the Apple ecosystem. Apple has much of its advantage in syncing between iPhone, iPad and Mac through proprietary software, and now Lenovo is trying to replicate it with AI as the common thread. The difference is in the execution. Apple controls hardware and software. Lenovo depends on Android and Windows, third-party systems. Your only asset to create that fluid experience is for AI to be the glue. In detail. Qira is not just another chatbot. It is an “ambient intelligence” (the naming is from Motorola) integrated at the operating system level, always present without having to open an app. Summoned with “Hey Qira”, with a dedicated key or by tapping the permanent item on the screen. Works even offline using local AI. The proposal is based on three attributes: Presence: It’s there, it can proactively suggest things or wait for you to call it. Actions: Execute tasks between applications and devices without having to manage each step. Perception: Build a unified knowledge base (with your consent) that includes your interactions, memories and documents across all devices. The use cases. Lenovo and Motorola have defined specific functions where Qira should shine: “Next Step” suggests actions based on what you’re doing and helps you switch devices without losing track. “Write for me” composes emails, documents or messages directly where you work, adapting to your tone. “Catch me up” summarizes what happened while you were away and helps you get back to tasks. “Pay Attention” transcribes and translates meetings in real time, captures key points and generates summaries. privacy. Processing occurs primarily on the device to keep data local. Cloud services are optional and require explicit consent. Lenovo insists that Qira never collects data without user permission. The context. No manufacturer has yet managed to make their devices “talk to each other” naturally using AI. Samsung has tried it with Galaxy AIGoogle with Gemini and Microsoft with Copilot. Everyone stumbles upon the same thing: their assistants don’t remember what you did on another device. They are great on one device but they stop being great when we switch from one to another. The specific applications do shine there (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok…), but they do not have the system-level integration that Qira, Galaxy AI and company do propose. Qira unifies under one name the dispersed solutions that have arrived until now: motorcycle ai (the lower case imperative is a Motorola thing), Lenovo AI NowCreator Zone and Learning Zone. The platform integrates collaborations with Microsoft 365, Copilot, Qualcomm, Intel, Perplexity and Google. Motorola does not have a large share in the premium segment, if Qira works well it could be an argument to attract customers. Qira will arrive in the first quarter of 2026 on “select” Lenovo devices and then on compatible Motorola phones. They have not yet communicated the list of models that will receive it. The approach is pragmatic: better to integrate what already works than to compete with OpenAI or Google in the creation of foundational models where they would hardly be able to scratch anything. Qira is not its own model, but a platform that connects different AI services depending on the task. Go deeper. Beyond Qira, there is a strategic reading: Lenovo is trying to become the reference manufacturer for those who do not want Apple but do not want to rely only on Google. It is a difficult space to fill. They all failed because creating ecosystems requires years of investment, gaining committed developers, and reaching users willing to change their habits. Lenovo has financial muscle and Motorola retains brand prestige. But you’ll need Qira to really work. In Xataka | The technology industry has been searching for the “next smartphone” for a decade.

This cleaning device seems a genius. A removable vacuum robot that is also used as a vertical vacuum cleaner

by

From time to time we find the most curious concepts in Tel Mundo de Technology. One of the ones who have recently interested me is that of EUFY E20an anker cleaning device with which we can have both a vertical vacuum cleaner (or without cable) as a Robot vacuum cleaner. All this in a single removable device. * Some price may have changed from the last review A cleaning device two in one The EUFY E20 is a removable cleaning device whose main claim is to have two devices, an aspiring robot and a vertical vacuum cleaner. To do this, The vertical vacuum base is introduced into the vacuum robotthus allowing choosing the type of cleaning we want to have at home. In addition, it can also be used as a hand vacuum cleaner. If we use it as a hand vacuum, it can reach a maximum suction power of 30,000 pa; On the other hand, if we use it as a vacuum robot that maximum low figure up to 8,000 pa. What we do have in both cases is a Five Stage Filtration That, as the brand mentions, can capture 99.97% of the particles of less than 0.3 microns. The Anker device, in addition, comes with a load base to use it with the aspiring robot, or with the vertical and hand vacuum cleaner to empty dirt and recharge the battery. Includes Navigation system with triple laser precision; That is, it includes three lasers placed at the top, front and side to dodge obstacles easily. This base also includes a three -liter motor system. Without a doubt, personally this device has seemed very curious. A year ago I bought a Rowenta vertical vacuum cleaner and now I am looking for a vacuum robot. If I had known, without a doubt, the Anker device would have taken into account. I have a lot of attention to combine both ways to clean the house In a single removable device. You may also interest you Rowenta XFORCE FLEX 9.60 ALLERGY – Cable Belk Aspirator, 200 W, Flex Tube, Smart Control screen, all types of soils, Power LED vision system, Boost trigger, filter up to 99.9% * Some price may have changed from the last review Roborock Q8 Max+ Robot Double brushes vacuum, automatic succy empty * Some price may have changed from the last review Some of the links of this article are affiliated and can report a benefit to Xataka.

use any handless device

The technological world usually starts from the assumption that we can all use our hands, but more than 100 million people with reduced mobility are excluded from that equation. The Spanish startup Aurax has decided to solve this problem with Mouthx, an oral controller that allows anyone (has their reduced mobility or not) interact with mobiles, tablets and computers without using the hands. “In Aurax we have developed a hands -free, intraoral control device, consisting of two Joysticksone that acts with the jaw and another with the tongue. We also have Head Tracking For secondary controls, “explains Narcís Codina, founder of Aurax, during an interview at 4yfn Barcelona, ​​the entrepreneurship event starts from the MWC 2025. Mouthx’s origin is deeply personal. The project arose when Codina met Armando Folgado, who has pentaplejía due to a spinal cord injury. Armando, current partner of Aurax, became inspiration to develop this technology that wants to transform the lives of millions of people. Precision that exceeds current limitations What distinguishes Mouthx from other solutions, according to its creators, is Its precision and versatility. “We use a technology from Joysticks that measures the magnetic field. In the end the accuracy is 500 points on each axis, in a millimeter of radius. In the end we do not move the tongue or the jaw more than a millimeter, “says Codina. A Mouthx model exposed in the MWC 2025. Image: Xataka. This wireless oral controller is an integral solution for those who have had very limited options. “They (in reference to users with reduced mobility) cannot control a mobile, apart from the fact that it is only with the voice. And as a computer, they use tobii, which is like a Eye Trackerin the end is two axes, it is a mouse with one click. And you have to click twice to select the second button, “explains the founder. Tobii is an old acquaintance of XAtaka: The difference in Mouthx with respect to what is raised by teams such as Tobii is remarkable: while current solutions allow only a basic interaction, Mouthx offers total control. “We in the end have made a device that allows you the total control of a mobile and a computer. And in fact as we also emulate, we can be like a joystick, we can be up to a Gamepad“Narcís adds. The device works with three axes in each joystick, which allows three -dimensional precision. “It’s 3D, it’s not two axes and click,” says Codina. This technology makes it possible for users to perform precise movements with hardly any effort. Easy to use, quick to learn One of the pleasant surprises that the Aurax team has taken has been The speed with which users learn to use the device. “The learning curve of users so far, we put both the equipment and Beta Testers as Focus Groups That we have done, it goes between fifteen minutes and an hour that most to learn. That is, go through the learning curve and use a mobile and a computer in full, “says Codina. The device, similar to an invisible dental splint, is manufactured for each user by means of an oral scanner. This customization is an inevitable friction today, but guarantees comfort and precision, even allowing to speak normally while used. Although Mouthx was born thinking about people with functional diversity, The company has discovered that its technology has much broader applications of the initially planned. “We were surprised, there are people without mobility problems that interest more than we expected. In the end there are always uses that one can get him,” says the founder. “We are realizing that for a neurosurgeon it is like having two more hands. Or a pilot you can use Google Maps With your hands on the steering wheel and looking where you have to look. A chef, a musician, a creative, or an engineer who wants more control, “he says as more use cases. The power of the device is not only in its precision, but also in Its ability to execute multiple commands simultaneously. “There are many solutions that allow you several buttons, several commands, but not simultaneous, you have to click one or the other. We allow you three tongue axes, three axes in jaw and three axes in the head. And this is quite powerful,” he explains. For Gamersthis capacity represents a competitive advantage, according to the founder: “You with your jaw can have eight commands and with your tongue too.” Eight are also the hours that your battery lasts, rechargeable connecting Mouthx to your case. Mouthx is accompanied by a highly configurable application that allows total customization. “We have a very configurable app that allows the user to choose which devices that are matched at the same time,” Codina explains. Users can create different configurations according to their specific needs: “You have your settings for your computer, one in general for Office or one for a specific program, and one for … for whatever you want. Well, you can jump from each other directly from the device.” An imminent pilot and launch The Vall d’Hebron University Hospital in Barcelona He has started a pilot study to evaluate Mouthx’s usability in people with reduced mobility. Dr. Lluïsa Montesinos, head of the unit of core injured, expects the device to offer greater autonomy and independence to patients. A patient testing mouthx. Image: Vall d’Hebron University Hospital. The device will be available for presale from the end of March Through the Aurax website. “Now people can point like Beta Testerbut at the end of the month they can point, and make orders. Can buy through Pre-Orders With a 30% discount, that is, for 1,000 euros instead of 1,300, delivering to seven months seen, towards October, “says Codina. Initial marketing will be online, due to the personalized nature of the product: “As the device is personalized, both design and manufacturing now requires a buffer scannerany dentist can do it, the dentist who has a reference, because … Read more

Buyers are registering it as a medical device

At the end of December we analyzed the Huawei Watch D2one of the most complete proposals at the health level in the smartwatch market. This clock can function as a tensiometer, a function of which you cannot boast any of its direct rivals. Vitaminate with Harmonyos, although with a price higher than that of clocks with similar specs (except for this function), it was raised as a more than interesting proposal. In China this clock is sweepingprecisely because of its tensiometer function. But the main reason is not the characteristic itself, it is that the Chinese have discovered something very important: they can load this expense to their medical insurance. After the launch of this device in China last November, the users of the social network Xiaohongshu, the new Chinese Tiktok, shared the data. This device is a blood pressure meter, so the Chinese state medical insurance covers the totality or part of the cost of the clock, depending on the city in which it is resided. The state medical insurance system is a medical coverage system that covers the vast majority of the population, composed of different programs as we reside in the city or in the rural environment. One of its characteristics is the direct refund system, through which it is enough to present the invoice of a medicine or health product included in the coverage to receive it. One of the obvious requirements is that the product must be prescribed by the doctor. In this way, those users who have prescribed a tensiometer can access a reim. Such has been the success of D2 in China that the device is completely exhausted. Image | Xataka In Xataka | Huawei Watch GT 4, Analysis: Two versions that squeeze the nuts to the Premium range
