Ultra? What about Ultra? Yes, this year Samsung has launched not two, but three foldable devices: the Z Fold8 (which adopts the passport format), the Z Flip8 and the Z Fold8 Ultraspiritual heir in terms of format of the Fold7. As its name indicates, this is Samsung’s most capable and complete folding phone and its commitment, at least on paper, is clear: it is the best foldable in Samsung’s catalog and, incidentally, the most professional in nature. One of the most obvious differences with respect to its brothers is in the camera and battery, because yes, the Z Fold8 Ultra It is the only one of the triad that has a telephoto and silicon-carbon batteries. It is also the thinnest foldable that the Korean company has manufactured to date and the one with the highest capacity battery.

We earn commission from these links The largest foldable… Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra | Image: Xataka Unlike the Fold8 and its passport format, ergo more panoramic, the Fold8 Ultra is committed to a more square format which, when deployed, leaves us with a screen close to 1:1, that is, more square. There is a reason for this, and that is that the folding screen of the Ultra model is not designed for viewing content, but for productivity, for using two or more applications at the same time and on the go. Few notable changes in the design, at least at first glance. The most interesting note is that the Fold8 Ultra becomes the thinnest foldable that Samsung has made to date, having trimmed 0.1 millimeters to the previous model. From 4.2 we went to 4.1 mm thick, something that may seem smaller, but becomes more important if we look at the battery capacity, which goes up to 5,000 mAh. Spoiler: Samsung, at least in this model, has jumped on the silicon-carbon bandwagon. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra | Image: Xataka Regarding the screen, the most notable change is the improvement in the resolution of the folding panel, which goes from 368 to 422 pixels per inch, and the implementation of Flex Titanium, the new technology based on flexible titanium, for the hinge. According to Samsung, this should allow the fold to be less noticeable and the resistance to be greater, but we will clear up doubts when we test it thoroughly. …does not skimp on power… Like its wider brother, the Fold8 Ultra mounts the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy, that is, a next-generation processor with a slightly higher clock speed to, in theory, offer even more performance. Combines with up to 16 gigabytes of RAM memory and a tera internal storage in its most powerful version and, to keep the temperature at bay, the company has opted for a graphite cooling system. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra | Image: Xataka The key to the terminal is found in the battery. Samsung has been latebut he finally decided to bet on silicon-carbon batteries. This technology allows for greater energy density in the same space, which translates into greater autonomy. All Chinese competition has opted for these batteries and Samsung, finally, has decided not to be left behind. We thus find a 5,000 mAh battery, 600 mAh more than the previous model, whose fast charging remains at 45W. Android 17 with One UI 9 is responsible for giving life to the whole set. Along with the promise of seven years of updates comes a whole suite of AI tools under the umbrella of Galaxy AI, some productivity functions such as Now Brief or Now Nudge and all the generative editing tools. …and go a little further Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra | Image: Xataka If something has always characterized Samsung’s Ultra devices, it has been, without a doubt, the camera. Samsung has reserved the most competent sensors and the longest range lenses for this model, as proven by the 200 megapixel main sensor, the 50 megapixel wide angle and the telephoto (yes, this one does have it) 10 megapixel with optical zoom three increases. The improvement in resolution in the wide angle, which also acts as a macro, is notable. Among the main new features, the main camera now supports HDR in 200 megapixel mode, and the Nigthography system should offer better performance in low light conditions. The device can also record in 8K with the APV codec and supports LUT so we can record directly with a predefined color and tone. Selfies, for their part, are in the hands of two cameras, … Read more

Samsung has not only brought us foldables. The Korean company has taken advantage of Unpacked to renew its range of smart watches which, as tradition dictates, consists of two devices: the Ultra model and the standard model which, again, as tradition dictates, this year skips the Classic version (and its fantastic rotating bezel). We have, therefore, two new smartwatches that seek to win the gold of “best watch with Wear OS.” The most striking change is found in the Ultra, which greatly increases the level of its battery and brightness, but otherwise both watches share many of the functions and specifications.

We earn commission from these links The peculiarities of the Watch Ultra2 Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra2 | Image: Xataka He Watch Ultra2 It is the watch focused on the most athletic and, why not say it, those looking for a powerful watch that offers good autonomy. It is only available in a single 47 millimeter version, so yes, it is a big watch not suitable for small wrists. The frame is made of aluminum and is somewhat thinner than the previous model, specifically 12%. As a sports/adventure watch that it is, it has all kinds of certifications and resistances to withstand the elements of, for example, water. Samsung boasts of offering resistance IP69K10 ATM (equivalent to 100 meters depth) and EN 13319. It is obvious that he feels good in the water and, in fact, it has a mode dedicated to diving that measures immersion time, water temperature, speed of ascent and descent, etc., developed together with Mares. Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra2 | Image: Xataka Coming out of the sea, the device has a feature called “Mountain Run” that offers information on altitude and terrain impact, and offers real-time hydration recommendations through Nutrition Alert. Basically the clock estimates sweat loss in relation to body weight and tells us when we need to drink water. Last but not least, it has a screen with 5,000 nits of brightness (a completely absurd figure that, it must be said, we will take advantage of on very rare occasions) and 800 mAh battery. This change is notable compared to the previous generation, which had 590 mAh, and the reason, although Samsung does not mention it explicitly, seems obvious: silicon carbon batteryfinally. A review of Watch9 Samsung Galaxy Watch9 | Image: Xataka He Galaxy Watch9 It is a watch more focused on everyday life. Although, as we will see soon, it offers the same sensors as its Ultra brother, this watch has a more casual, more lifestyle character. It is, without a doubt, more focused on keeping track of our lifestyle habits, sleep and exercise, as well as serving as a productivity assistant through notifications, calls and apps. This model can be obtained in two versions: 40 and 44 millimeters. One is smaller, one is bigger. That obviously has a noticeable impact on the watch’s battery. While both do exactly the same thing, the 44-millimeter one will offer greater autonomy. Both have a frame made of aluminum and that “padded” design that the Galaxy Watch8. Samsung Galaxy Watch9 | Image: Xataka The screen does not reach the 5,000 nits of the Ultra2, but it does amount to 3,000 nitsa much more reasonable figure that, in any case, will only be activated in fairly extreme lighting conditions. As far as stamina goes, it’s pretty tough, but not as tough as its older brother. It does not have EN 13319 certification, nor IP69K nor does it reach 10 ATM, so, although it can withstand water, it is not designed for diving. What they share Samsung Galaxy Watch9 and Ultra2 | Image: Xataka Everything else, really. Both models incorporate the processor Snadragon Wear Elite (codename … Read more

After endless leaks and rumors, Samsung has made a new folding format official. Not “new” as such, but different. Because he Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 It is still a Fold, but now it is much, much more square and, therefore, more panoramic when we open its screen. It is a foldable made, according to Samsung, to adapt to how we see content. This format is usually known as “passport type” and it is something that we have already seen, to a certain extent, in the OPPO Find N (Apple is also expected to adopt it at the end of the year in its much leaked iPhone Fold). The Korean firm thus puts on the table a triad of foldingeach one focused on a different audience and the Fold8 being the most generalist. With the introductions made, let’s get to know them better. Before continuing, we remind you that the members of Xataka Xtra can access discounts, benefits and exclusive opportunities in the Samsung online storein addition to exclusive raffles, a private Discord server and a growing catalog of discounts and advantages on digital services.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 technical sheet SAMSUNG GALAXY Z FOLD8 Dimensions and weight Folded: 81.9 x 123.9 x 9.7 mm Unfolded: 161.4 x 123.9 x 4.5 mm 201 grams folding screen 7.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X QXGA+ resolution (2,448 x 1,848 pixels) 403 pixels per inch Refresh rate: 1-120Hz Vision Booster main screen 5.5-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X QXGA+ resolution (1,248 x 1,972 pixels) 428 pixels per inch Refresh rate: 1-120Hz Vision Booster Up to 3,000 nits Low reflectance screen processor Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy Ram memory and storage 12/256GB 12/512GB 16GB/1TB front camera Main screen: 10 MP, f/2.2, FOV 85º Folding screen: 10 MP, f/2.2, FOV 100º main camera 50 MP wide angle, dual pixel AF, OIS, f/1.8, FOV 85º 50 MP wide angle, dual pixel AF, f/1.9, FOV 120º battery Dual 4,800 mAh (typical) 45W fast charging 20W wireless charging PowerShare Reverse Wireless Charging connectivity 5G NSA/SA LTE Wi-Fi 7 Bluetooth 6.0 NFC GPS operating system Android 17 One UI 9 others IP48 resistance Galaxy AI Knox Now Brief Now Nudge price From 1,999 euros The new passport format Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 | Image: Samsung To date, Samsung’s Fold-type folding devices (and almost all brands, really) have tried to be a conventional mobile phone that multiplies by two. The external screen is like that of a regular mobile phone and, when we open it, its size doubles in a screen that borders on the 1:1 format (almost square). The problem is that this format, which is maintained, by the way, in the Fold8 Ultra, is very good for multitasking and productivity, but it involves certain sacrifices in the consumption of multimedia content. The reason? A video on YouTube is usually in 16-18:9, which, on an almost 1:1 screen, means having two huge black bands above and below the content. The passport format partially solves this problem: it sacrifices diagonal on the main screen in exchange for offering a more rectangular folding screen, ideal for watching a video, a movie or playing games in widescreen format. In the case of Samsung, the main screen (the one we use when it is folded) has a 10:16 format. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 | Image: Samsung Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra | Image: Samsung The folding screen, for its part, has a 4:3 format. Without being completely panoramic, the upper and lower black bands will be a lot, but much smaller. If we put it vertically, we have a size similar to that of a small book, which makes it particularly comfortable for reading or browsing. When it comes to the hinge, Samsung boasts a new technology called Flex Titanium (available in all three folding versions). According to the company, this new hinge combines a titanium alloy film with an “improved” titanium plate that, on paper, helps reinforce the screen support, absorb pressure and reduce crease visibility. This has been one of the most controversial points of foldables historically, the fold and its wrinkle. Speaking of specifications Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 | Image: Samsung If we talk about inches, the main screen has a 5.5 inch diagonalwhile the folding one amounts to 7.6 inches. In both cases we find a QXGA+ resolution and a variable refresh rate of 1-120 Hz. They are, therefore, fast screens with a more than acceptable resolution. As far as brightness is concerned, 3,000 peak nits, more than enough to use it in full sun and play HDR. One of the things that caught the most attention Galaxy S26 Ultra was the anti-glare and anti-glare screen. For physical and space reasons, Samsung cannot implement this technology in the folding ones (this specific model is 4.5 mm thick when unfolded), but it does claim to have introduced a low-reflective finish that, in theory, should reduce glare when the sun shines in front of it. Maximum power Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 | Image: Samsung Samsung has not skimped on power in its new foldable. In fact, in a somewhat complicated context for RAM and storagethe Korean firm has put all its efforts into action. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 has 12 GB of RAM in its versions with 256 or 512 GB of internal storage, and 16 GB in the most powerful version, which is the one with 1 TB capacity. It won’t be for storage, of course. The heart of the terminal is a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy, or what is the same, a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 with a lightweight overclock which, on paper, provides extra performance. It will also be responsible for moving some AI tools, namely Now Brief (contextual information), Now Nudge (an assistant for taking actions) and the editing suite. However, Samsung’s approach is hybrid: local+cloud. The battery goes up to 4,800 mAh, which represents an increase of 400 mAh compared … Read more

They are not as versatile as dry cordless vacuum cleaners, but scrubber vacuum cleaners also have their audience: people with homes with tile floors. There they are the absolute kings of mambo if you want to vacuum and scrub in one go. However, this category has always had an Achilles heel: they are heavy items, which makes them, for example, uncomfortable for my mother. So Dreame has put its latest model in the segment on a diet and the result is this T16 Pro Heat that we have just tested thoroughly. ✅ Buy it if… You have a house with tile floors. You have little time to clean and you want to vacuum and mop at the same time. Your floor stains easily. ❌ Don’t buy it if… Your budget is tight. You just want to aspire. You want a versatile scrubber vacuum cleaner. The essentials in 30 seconds The Dreame T16 Pro Heat is a scrubber vacuum cleaner, so you fill the tank with water and cleaner, press the power button and go around the house to clean it. Simplicity to power. You can’t choose to just vacuum or just mop, it does both at the same time and that has good and not so good things: it’s true that it saves time, but, for example, if the floor has a lot of hair (I live with two dogs weighing 35 kg each), it’s not the most pleasant or the cleanest. And be careful, it is not because it is not powerful: it is capable of swallowing even pellets of feed. I liked how easy it is to use, setting the automatic mode and forgetting about everything else. However, the best thing is that it is moderately light and manageable for a scrubber vacuum cleaner. Here’s my tenths to the Dreame design team. Of course, this lightness has its fine print: you will have to refill the dirty water tank often, but it is not something complex and/or dirty either. Of course, the most convenient thing is how it is cleaned: you place it on the base, press the button and a few minutes of noise later, you have it spotless to use again. And loaded. The price could vary. We earn commission from these links Our experience with the Dreame T16 Pro Heat What a piece of design. From the honesty: normally these types of cleaning devices are a tremendous piece of junk, but Dreame has said “hold my tank” and has reduced it to a minimum. It has just what is necessary to function (well) and it is placed in a very small capsule located in the central area, so that the distribution of weight both upright and lying down is balanced. In addition, the clean water tank goes in the brush area, which thanks to its motorized wheels literally slides by itself. The outstanding thing is that it barely measures 10 centimeters wide, so you can pass it under some furniture such as, in my case, the TV. Operation: a piece of cake. Everything is managed from the handle, where there are the buttons and a colorful screen where you can switch modes and receive notifications. My recommendation is not to complicate things and set it to automatic, so that it is the device that chooses when to increase the power and when not to. However, it also has a completely dispensable but interesting app for more personalized management and to have more information. Surprisingly effective in cleaning. The device itself detects when an area is dirtiest and at that moment you can hear it suck harder, and the truth is that it swallows even a popcorn. In general, loose solids go inside and it also has a medium-high performance with smaller and lighter ones such as hair or grit. But the best are the stains: drops of dried coffee, a spilled soda, sauces… I was surprised that even grease is removed well. Of course, it doesn’t clean with water alone: ​​it is very hot and also has a built-in cleaner. A huge difference with respect to the mop is that it has a plastic plate to dry evenly, so that you pass the head and in less than a minute you can step on the floor without fear. The floor in a good part of my house is laminate and I have not been afraid of humidity precisely for that reason. The only “but” I have is that since the head is large, there are areas where it inevitably does not fit. The battery is not going to be a problem. I admit that most of the time I have used the automatic mode because it is the one that best optimizes battery and performance, that is, it only increases the power when necessary. But even in scenarios where the house was dirty and had to run at full capacity almost all the time, I had enough battery to clean my apartment (70 square meters) twice in a row. To Caesar what belongs to Caesar: you are the one who holds the handle, you don’t make too many passes and we have already seen that this Dreame takes advantage of each pass. Then you place it on the base and you have it ready to use in every way. Maintenance: chiaroscuro. When you finish cleaning and leave the Dreame T16 Pro Heat on the base, all you have to do is press a button to start self-cleaning. At that moment a symphony of noise begins in which it has been thoroughly cleaned and dried with air and hot water, something essential because cleaning by hand would be a hassle and if you don’t do it, it would soon start to smell. Of course, it swallows a lot of water in the process, so you have to remove the tank from the head, put it under the tap and with a little skill, refill it. When you receive the notice, remove the dirty water tank … Read more

There are three things that catch my attention whenever I travel to China. The first, that the Chinese food in my city is Chinese what I am blonde. The second, the omnipresence of electric cars. The third, that everyone wears the same headphones: some Huawei FreeClip or similar. They are everywhere. Everywhere you look, someone is carrying them, it’s brutal. Today the Chinese firm has launched the new generation, the FreeClip 2Sand after having tried them, I think I understand why. ✅ Buy them if… You are looking for very comfortable headphones so you can wear them all day. You want to listen to music, podcasts or make calls without isolating yourself from the environment. You don’t want to have to remember to charge your headphones for a whole day. ❌ Don’t buy it if… You need noise cancellation. You are looking for high fidelity sound. You want some sneaky headphones. The essentials in 30 seconds The Huawei FreeClip 2S are unconventional headphones with a clear objective: that we can wear them all day. They are very different from what we usually see on the street, since instead of having a part that we put in the ear and a pole facing down, it has two small balls joined by a bridge that hook to the ear like, pardon the redundancy, a paper clip. They are not headphones designed for audiophiles nor do they seek to offer the best sound experience on the market, but rather they are another accessory that seeks to fit into a relatively dynamic lifestyle. The professionals are responsible for offering the best sound. FreeBuds Pro. FreeClips are something else and should be understood as such. They are, as we will see later, extremely comfortable and versatile. The sound, although it is not its strong point, is fine; and the autonomy is a true wonder. The “problem”, of course, is that it has a price of 229 euros, a somewhat high figure for headphones focused on lifestyle. 8.4 Design 8.0 Sound quality 7.0 Ergonomics 9 Usage experience 8.5 Battery 9.3 in favor They are the most comfortable headphones I have ever tried. The battery lasts the day without any problem They have a multipoint connection so they can be used with several devices at the same time. against The sound quality is not up to its price The finish of the case raises questions about its long-term durability Our experience with the Huawei FreeClip 2S Huawei FreeClip 2S | Image: Xataka How to use them. These headphones have three components: the Comfort Beam (the piece that is behind the ear and where the battery is), the Acoustic Ball (the one that we put inside the ear and where the driver is) and the Airy Bridge-C (the bridge that joins both). They are placed in the ear as if they were a clip and the bridge, which has a certain tension, ensures that the headphones stay in one place. It takes getting used to, things are the way they are, but in a couple of days you get used to them, and in what way. Some headphones to forget about. Simply put, they are the most comfortable TWS headphones I have tried in all my time testing headphones. They are one of the few headphones that I have been able to wear all day, even without playing anything. They are very light, pleasant to the touch and do not move during typical day-to-day journeys. What they are not is sneaky. They attract a lot of attention and will be noticed when you wear them, which is no drama, but that’s it. Unlike 99% of headphones in the world, the FreeClip 2S does not have one earpiece for the right ear and one for the left ear. You can put each earbud in the ear you want. Relearn gestures. You can double-tap any part of the headset to pause music or accept a call; or invoke Gemini by tapping three times. You can also summon the assistant by touching the Comfort Beam from behind, and even control the volume by swiping up or down on it. What I have found most comfortable is adding touches to the bridge. It’s strange, because it’s not “natural” to tap the area that holds something to your ear, but not only do the headphones hold without a problem, but the sensitivity is exceptional. Huawei FreeClip 2S | Image: Xataka The new case. It is totally different from anything I have seen so far. It is a kind of ball with a mirror effect that is more reminiscent of a ring box than a headphone charging base. The lid is magnetized and offers good resistance, and the headphones are placed with the Comfort Beam facing down (it doesn’t matter right or left). It’s very cool, but it gets covered in fingerprints just by looking at it, it bulges more than I would like in my pants and I’m not sure that that shiny finish is going to resist the amalgamation of metal objects that may be in a pocket or a bag. Decent sound. The headphones work (well) for everyday use, but that’s it. The bass has surprising punch for the format and, at normal volumes, the mids and bass are fine. If we raise the volume more than necessary, they distort a little. For their price, there are headphones that sound much, much better, but of course, these headphones are not about the sound experience, but about ergonomics and lifestyle. Calls go very, very well, and the adaptive volume allows us to forget to a certain extent about manually lowering and raising the volume when we change sound scenarios. They have a multipoint connection, so we can connect them to the mobile phone and other devices at the same time and switch between them interchangeably. That’s always a plus. Excellent battery (and great charging). The headphones last all day without problem. In fact, it has been impossible for me to drain … Read more

For the healthy habit of not dying of starvation and a bit of a culinary hobby, part of my free time I use it cooking. And there are those who say that I’m even good at it. I am a regular oven user and I prepare a good part of my recipes in it. That’s why I had never paid much attention to air fryers. I had always seen them as an interesting appliance, but dispensable for someone who already has a good oven at home. After more than a month using the Ninja Crispi Pro I discovered that I was doing the comparison wrong. Not because the air fryer is going to replace the oven, but because it has allowed me to cook certain dishes that before, simply, it didn’t compensate me. And that ends up having more impact on daily life than I imagined. ✅ Buy it if… You usually cook for one or two people. You like garnishes, batters or quick preparations. You are looking for an air fryer that is easy to clean and maintain. ❌ Don’t buy it if… You usually cook for several people. You hope to completely replace the oven. You usually prepare large trays or family recipes. The essentials in 30 seconds The Ninja Crispi Pro is a different air fryer. Its main identifying marks are its interchangeable glass containerswhich allow you to cook, serve, store food and reuse it without having to change the food container. The good capacity of the Ninja Crispi Pro containers, which adapt to the volume of the food you are going to prepare, fits especially well in those situations where using a conventional oven is impractical due to the high energy consumption that would be used. glass containers They are an advantage in terms of use and efficiency. Being transparent, you can see if the food is already cooked or browned to taste without having to constantly open the cooking drawer, stopping the process. Of course, it is advisable to adjust expectations. Although the containers are deep and appear to have a large capacity, in this type of appliance the yesavailable surface matters much more than the height. When we try to cook large quantities of food, the usual limitations of any air fryer appear. Ninja CRISPi PRO XL Air Fryer, 5 Preset Cooking Functions, 5.7 and 2.3 inch CleanCrisp Glass Cooking Bowls and Storage Lids, Moss Green AS090EUGN The price could vary. We earn commission from these links Our experience with the Ninja Crispi Pro An easy-to-use, eye-catching air fryer. It is an airfryer that doesn’t look much like what we are used to. The basket has an unconventional finish that is more reminiscent of a baking dish than the typical removable basket. But beyond its design, I loved how easy it is to use: using a super intuitive system of buttons and a central wheel, just turn to choose the mode, adjust the time or temperature, and press to start cooking instantly. From the first moment it is clear that it is an appliance designed not to complicate your life. Crystal is a leading actor. Watching food while it is cooking is more useful than it seems. Being able to monitor the browning of food at a glance is a great help, especially when you have not yet mastered the timing of a new recipe. It saves us from having to take out the basket every so often, thus conserving the interior heat and saving energy. Another thing that I liked are the handles and protective legs of the containers, as they allow you to take them directly to the table to serve, or store them as is in the refrigerator without dirtying any more pots. And if all this were not enough, not only are they dishwasher safe, but when you clean them by hand, dirt comes off very, very easily, even grease. More capacity than it seems… and also less. At first, I admit that I found the depth of the containers to be a great advantage, as it allows you to easily accommodate voluminous pieces such as a whole chicken or roasted peppers. However, with use I discovered that in an air fryer the useful flat surface is much more important than the depth, since the food needs to be well spread so that the flow of hot air cooks it evenly. In recipes such as dumplings, potatoes or battered vegetables, the result improves when the foods have enough space between them, something that is more complicated in such a deep container. Where has surprised me the most. The biggest surprise has been discovering how well it cooks certain foods, to the point that it has made me change habits. Before, I used to avoid traditional fried foods or try not to turn on the oven to prepare a small portion due to the energy expenditure it entails. With this device I have recovered some of those recipes. The natural fries are very good, the batter maintains a crispy texture and the chicken wings come out with a crispy touch thanks to the constant circulation of hot air. It has also demonstrated outstanding performance when reheating empanadas or slices of pizza, avoiding that chewy texture in the dough when heating it in the microwave. The cannelloni experiment. One of the experiments that aroused my most curiosity was to test it with traditional oven dishes, so, as a good Catalan, I decided to prepare some cannelloni. The individual portion was better than expected, but the test helped me come across the real limits of its format: preparing food for one makes all the sense in the world, but making a family tray is another story not because of the quality of the cooking, but because of the capacity.

premium features such as high temperature washing for less than 500 euros

Until not long ago, if you wanted a robot vacuum cleaner that not only swept, but also wash your own mops with hot water and dried them to avoid odors, you had to go for budgets that were around 1,000 euros. However, this year’s mid-range is closing gaps by leaps and bounds. A good example is the latest launch in Spain by the company Mova, which has just presented its new E50 range (composed of the Ultra and Pro Ultra models). These are two devices with a complete self-emptying base that cost less than 500 euros. Mova E50 Ultra Robot Vacuum Cleaner The price could vary. We earn commission from these links MOVA E50 Pro Ultra Robot Vacuum Cleaner with 30000Pa Suction and 12N Downward Pressure The price could vary. We earn commission from these links Two robots with plenty of power and automated maintenance The technical core of both models is supported by the TurboScrub system, which offers a 30,000 Pa gross suction power. For scrubbing, it uses a double roller rotating at 260 revolutions per minute and capable of exerting a downward pressure of 12 N to remove stains. In addition, it has a automatic lifting system so as not to wet the carpets when passing over them and an extendable side mop (Maxi Reach) designed to get as close as possible to the baseboards and corners of the rooms. Regarding navigation, both integrate a 360-degree LDDS laser sensor supported by a front sensor to map the house in real time and dodge small objects scattered on the ground. To avoid the classic problem of pet hair clogging, Mova has implemented a TÜV-certified anti-tangle system that includes a V-shaped rubber brush and the option to add internal blades (Clean Chop) to cut hair automatically. The station of both models is quite compact if we take into account everything it houses inside: a 3.2 liter dust bag, a five liter clean water tank and another 4.5 liter of dirty water. After each cleaning cycle, the base cleans the mops and applies hot air drying at 63°C to prevent the proliferation of moisture and bacteria. Although both models share the vast majority of specifications of their engine and navigation system, the main difference that justifies the price jump is found in the disinfection technology of the base itself. The Pro Ultra model stands out in particular because it heats the self-cleaning water up to 100 °C directly in the station and therefore Automatically dispense detergentsomething that in the Ultra model you will have to do manually. Availability and launch prices Both robot vacuum cleaners can now be purchased in Spain.

Vivo started an adventure a few weeks ago: that of launching its first global wearable. He Vivo Watch GT 2 It is the first smart watch that the firm, which has experience in this field, launches in our borders. Your proposal? A relatively low price, fair and necessary functions for everyday life, a huge screen and an absurd battery. After two weeks wearing it on my wrist, this has been my experience. ✅ Buy it if… You don’t want to have to worry about charging the watch. You want a screen that looks exceptionally good. You are looking for a watch that offers the basics: health, notifications, calls, etc. ❌ Don’t buy it if… You absolutely need to pay with your mobile. You want to access third-party applications. You want the watch to be part of a larger connected ecosystem. The essentials in 30 seconds The Vivo Watch GT 2 is an affordable smartwatch, well built and with just what is necessary to satisfy the user looking for just that: a simple clock. It works well, the screen is huge, the battery is amazing and, although it is not a watch loaded with functions and options, it does its job. It is the living definition of a 100-something euro watch. In this price range there are many proposals, but few offer a screen this large and of this quality with an autonomy that safely exceeds two weeks. And it has a simple paddle mode that, without being a panacea, is more useful than 99% of the smart watches I have tried in my life. Now, the reality is that it is: it does not offer anywhere near the versatility of a watch with Wear OS or watchOS. It does not have an eSIM, it does not have a voice assistant, it is not integrated into a home automation ecosystem, it does not have mobile payments, it does not have third-party apps or maps… It is, as I said, a watch for the basics. 8.4 Design 8.0 Screen 9.5 Software 7.0 Battery 9.7 Interface 8.0 in favor Despite being large, it is quite comfortable. The screen looks outrageous. It has one of the best batteries I’ve ever tested in a smartwatch. against It lacks a catalog of third-party applications that allows expanding functions. It does not have mobile payments. It does not have a virtual assistant nor is it integrated with an ecosystem of products beyond mobile. Vivo Watch GT2 Smart Watch with 25-day battery, Bluetooth Calls, Paddle and Tennis Pro Modes, NFC Access Cards, more than 100 Sports Modes, 2.07″ Screen, GPS The price could vary. We earn commission from these links Our experience with the Vivo Watch GT 2 Vivo Watch GT 2 | Image: Xataka It’s huge. And to your question, yes, it is identical to the Apple Watch. It is not a small watch and it is certainly not designed for small wrists. It is well finished, it is very comfortable and very light. The screen, at more than two inches, looks great in broad daylight and responds well to gestures. Zero complaints here, it is one of the best screens I have tried on a watch. The strap is proprietary, so it can only be exchanged for other straps that use the same coupling. In other words, you can’t use just any 20 or 22 millimeter strap. The operating system. It’s called Blue OS, but it’s really a custom RTOS. That is, there is no store with which to access third-party apps. Luckily, the system comes armed with everything you need to use it, a good assortment of covers and, something I’ve never seen before, pre-installed games. Bloatware, wow. Luckily, they can be uninstalled. In any case, I haven’t missed any more apps for everyday life except, perhaps, a map app. One thing I can’t help but mention is that the “Do Not Disturb” mode does not stop the screen from turning on when you make the gesture of looking at the time, something that I think is very important when wearing it at night. What is fair and necessary. Everything works well and the expected options are there: you can make and answer calls via Bluetooth (it does not have eSIM), read notifications (and respond to them with default responses), and record heart rate, stress, sleep, SpO2, and cycle. The measurements are correct, but they are sometimes overly optimistic. It is noticeable, for example, in the step log. In terms of compatibility, the watch can be used with iOS and Android, so it’s hardware agnostic in that sense. Vivo Watch GT 2 | Image: Xataka The miracle was almost done. There must be someone in Vivo who has read Xataka’s analysis, because the watch has a paddle mode. And not a padel mode that measures pulses and that’s it, but rather it measures whether the blow is forehand or backhand, quantity and speed throughout the match. It is not as complete as that of Mibro GS 2 Probut it is more useful than the average report of most watches. The downside would have been to have more real-time information on the shots and to better detect volleys, lobs, shots and layups, but hey, it’s a step. It also works for tennis and more than 100 sports. The accuracy of the metrics is acceptable, although there is a certain upward trend in heart rate and calories burned. GPS also records the routes followed with relative precision. And this battery? I’ve been wearing the watch all day for two weeks and it still has 10% left. I think that pretty well defines one of the benefits of this watch. The battery is not a problem nor is charging, which is completed in just over two hours.

Nothing returns to its old ways with new headphones, the Nothing Ear (3a). With a price of 99 euros, the headphones seek to compete in, probably, most saturated segment of the audio world. After having tried them, it is clear to me that they go straight to my list of products to recommend when someone asks me for advice. ✅ Buy them if… You have a tight budget of less than 100 euros. You want headphones with personality. You are looking for headphones that you can connect to several devices at the same time. ❌ Don’t buy them if… You want the best noise cancellation and transparency mode. Wireless charging is an essential requirement. You value high definition, although this applies to any TWS headphones. The essentials in 30 seconds The Nothing Ear (3a) are Nothing’s new mid-range headphones. They do not seek to be the reference TWS headphones, but rather to offer a solid alternative for less than 100 euros with three key pillars: design, sound and connectivity. They do not reinvent the wheel nor do they need to, since they work well and fulfill their purpose, which is what they have to do. Do they have the best sound? No. The best noise cancellation? No, but they cost what they cost and, for that money, you can say that they work very well. In addition, they are headphones with a lot of personalitydifferent from all those in this saturated market, so, at the same price, at least these put an eye-catching proposal on the table. One of its differential values ​​is Audio Snapshot, a function that allows you to record what is playing and transcribe it to revisit it later. Its practical usefulness on a day-to-day basis is questionable, but well tuned it could be a useful feature for those of us who, like yours truly, tend to think out loud and keep ideas in notes. 8.8 Design 9.3 Sound quality 8.6 noise cancellation 8.2 Ergonomics 9.0 Usage experience 8.7 Battery 9.2 in favor They have a lot of personality and are different from other headphones on the market. The sound quality is great for costing 100 euros. The multipoint connection is always a success. against The microphone sounds with some echo on calls. They do not have wireless charging. The price could vary. We earn commission from these links Our experience with the Nothing Ear (3a) Nothing Ear (3a) | Image: Xataka How nice it is to be surprised. In a world where technology has become boring, Nothing products are a breath of fresh air. Not only because they are transparent and, in my case, yellow, but because they have personality. The case is one of the coolest I’ve seen in a long time (LEDs included) and the headphones, colors aside, are comfortable, light, and don’t fall out while moving. I have zero complaints in this regard. Good in sound. For 100 euro headphones, the Nothing Ear (3a) sound really good. They have been quite a surprise, in fact. The sound comes out clean, the bass is quite punchy and the treble is kept at bay, although when there are sudden changes you can see that the headphones are missing a bit. Nothing serious and we will notice it only if we know what we are looking for. For day to day they go like a shot. The noise cancellation is adequate and sufficient for mundane noises, such as the air conditioning or the hustle and bustle of the street, but it is not close to the best in this segment. The transparency mode is correct, but again, without highlighting; and during calls there is a certain echo in the microphones. Nothing Ear (3a) | Image: Xataka Audio Snapshot. One of the novelties that these headphones bring is the possibility of recording audio fragments of what is playing, storing them in their 32 MB capacity and transcribing them with AI (free and locally, although the most powerful model is paid and online). The idea is good, but I would have liked it if, instead of recording just a piece of a podcast or an audiobook, I could do it at the same time with my voice, so that I could record a reflection out loud or an idea that comes to me suddenly, and transcribe it. In theory, the headphones offer the possibility of recording and transcribing calls, but this function will not reach Spain, at least in the first phase. The minipoint of connectivity. Spending 99 euros is no small feat, especially now, which is why it is appreciated that we can use the headphones with several devices at the same time thanks to the multipoint connection. Being able to have them connected via Bluetooth 6.0 to the Steam Deck and to the mobile phone or the tablet and switching from one to the other interchangeably is fabulous, even more so in these price ranges. Not to mention that they are fully compatible with iOS and Android. Battery to get through the day without problem. The headphones deliver what they promise: around six hours of autonomy with noise cancellation activated, which rises to about a full day if we take into account the charging of the case. Charging is via USB type C, no wireless charging, something that, on the other hand, is to be expected.

At the beginning of this year, and with the crisis of mobile components and prices looming, Carl Pei, CEO of Nothing, commented that it was not necessary launch a new high-end mobile every year. He didn’t say anything about the mid-range ones and, after the Nothing Phone (4a) and Phone (4a) Pro a few months ago, it is time to discover all the details and features of the Nothing Phone (4b). Next, we go with the company’s new mobile phone that has arguments to convince anyone who needs a mid-range mobile phone, but which is an example of the impact of the current component crisis. Technical data sheet of the Nothing Phone (4b) nothing Phone (4b) SCREEN 6.77-inch Super AMOLED panel Resolution of 2,344 x 1,080 pixels 381 dpi density Refresh up to 120 Hz 480Hz PWM 2,000 nits peak brightness Highlight brightness of 1,200 nits Typical brightness of 600 nits DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT 164.4 x 78.2 x 8.6mm 210 grams PROCESSOR Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 RAM 8GB LPDDR4x STORAGE 128 or 256 GB UFS 2.2 FRONT CAMERA 16 Mpx, f/2.4 REAR CAMERAS Main 50 Mpx f/1.8, OIS 8 Mpx f/2.2 wide angle BATTERY 5,200 mAh 33W charging 7.5W wired reverse charging OPERATING SYSTEM Android 16 CONNECTIVITY 5G NFC Bluetooth 6.0 Wi-Fi 6 GPS, CALILEO, GLONASS, BDS, QZSS OTHERS IP64Glyph Bar PRICE From 326 euros Very Nothing design with a bit of iPhone 17 Pro Where the crisis does not impact is in the design and, as the company is accustomed to, the Phone (4b) boasts very particular lines. The new terminal is a mix between the Phone (4a) and Phone (4a) Pro. For example, it has the unibody design of the second, as well as the LED Glyph interface at the top of the back to notify of notifications, battery or general status of the mobile of the first. It has an even more marked industrial design than its generation brothers, with interesting elements such as a camera module that is reminiscent of the iPhone 17 Pro, but is covered by a completely transparent polymer. I’m looking forward to seeing it in person, although we’ll have to see how it stands the test of time with everyday micro-scratches. Regarding durability, the mobile phone has IP64 certification, so it is resistant to dust and splashes of water and, although this has not been confirmed in the analysis, the side buttons seem to be located at an ideal height for the thumb. It has volume and blocking ones on the right side and an extra one on the left. If we move on to the front, we have a Samsung flat screen, a Super AMOLED panel that makes good use of the front, which has the typical notch for the front camera in the central part. The panel is 6.77 inches, so we are not talking about a compact one, and the pixel density is 381 for a total resolution of 2,344 x 1,080 pixels. It has adaptive refresh rate of up to 1,200 Hz, peak brightness of 2,000 nits, but a more realistic HBM brightness of 1,200 nits and the PWM stays at 480 Hz. It is not too much, but in the end we are talking about an entry-level mobile in the mid-range. Qualcomm interior with a very personalized Android 16 Inside we see curious decisions, and it is here where we see that the power/price relationship is marked by the component crisis that is currently destroying the market. Nothing is betting on the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4, although they claim that it has similar performance to the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 of the Phone (4a). Maybe they’re going to take it further than it could thanks to a 4,400 mm2 vapor chamber that they say keeps the device a couple of degrees cooler during demanding tasks, reducing performance loss caused by heat. Come on, thanks to better dissipation, they can keep a modest chip “at full” for longer. If we look at the RAM and storage, we have the same as in the Nothing 3: 8 GB of LPDDR4X RAM with 128 and 256 GB of UFS 2.2 storage. It’s not the fastest, but We already know how the patio isunfortunately. And the battery in Europe has 5,200 mAh, a capacity that promises a lot with a low-consumption SoC like that Snapdragon. The charge is 33 W and has 7.5 W wired reverse charging, interesting for headphones. And regarding the system, Android 16 with Nothing 4.1 above with all the animations, aesthetic section and functions of the brand. The most interesting thing is that they point to three years of Android updates and six years of security patches. Double camera without surprises In the photographic section, this camera module concentrates a main camera signed by Samsung with a 50 megapixel sensor with a size of 1/2.76″, f/1.8 aperture and optical stabilization. The accompanying camera is an 8 megapixel wide angle in a 1/4 inch sensor with f/2.2 aperture. On the front, 16 megapixels f/2.2 and maximum video functions at 4K 30 frames per second with the possibility of reaching 1,080p and 120 frames per second to make slow motion. According to Nothing, the system adds a series of algorithms to optimize portraits. Nothing Phone 4(b) launch and price Given the features, it’s time to talk about the price of the Nothing Phone (4b). In the configuration with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, the price is 329 euros. It is the same one that he already had Telephone (3a) with better features, but as we have already mentioned, the situation is… what it is. What is clear is that, in the sections in which Nothing can continue pushing, which is that design so pampered even in mid-range devices, they nail it.
