Honor has been one of the big stars of the MWC. The Chinese firm has taken advantage of the fair that is taking place these days in Barcelona to show its new products, namely the Honor MagicPad 4the peculiar Honor Robot Phone and its new foldable, the Honor Magic V6. This is the product that concerns us in these lines and its proposal is clear: more battery and better performance without sacrificing thickness or durability, at least on paper. The terminal will be launched during the second half of the year, so we will still have to wait to get our hands on it. With the introductions made, let’s get to know him a little better.

It is not a spectacular figure, but it is striking that the company has managed to reduce it by 4.1 millimeters. Magic V5 to four millimeters in the Magic V6. That is the thickness unfolded, but the dynamics are the same with the mobile folded. From 8.8 mm we went to 8.75 millimeters, a change that, without being spectacular or excessively noticeable, is a statement of intent on the part of the company. The internal screen has won over and is, undoubtedly, the main protagonist. The panel has SGS Minimized Crease certification and, according to the firm, reduces fold depth by 44% Compared to the previous generation, which was already really good. Beyond that, the panel remains more or less the same, that is, the firm has iterated where there is the most room for improvement: in the fold. The external screen, for its part, grows slightly diagonally and maintains many of the specifications. The striking part, which in fact shares with the internal part, is the anti-reflective layer. Samsung has shown that this technology works and is useful when viewing the panel in strong light situations, and now Honor has implemented it on both screens. According to the company, it reduces reflectivity by up to 1.5%. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 reaches foldables Honor Magic V6 | Image: Honor As expected, Honor has chosen to put the latest in chips into its device. Thus, the Honor Magic V6 incorporates the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 516 GB of RAM and 512 GB of internal storage. Roughly speaking, it is the configuration to be expected in every high-end terminal of 2026. The entire connectivity suite, needless to say, is more than guaranteed. The most interesting change is in the battery. Honor has once again collaborated with ATL for its fifth-generation silicon-carbon batteries. These have a silicon content of 25% and a 6,600 mAh capacitysomething that attracts attention in a device that is barely four millimeters thick. Fast charging amounts to 80% and wireless fast charging remains at 66W. When it comes to cameras, the Chinese firm has opted for a configuration similar to last year. Few changes here: 50 megapixel main and wide-angle sensor, 64 megapixel periscope with optical zoom and 20 megapixel internal cameras. The key, of course, is to be able to use the rear camera for selfies thanks to the foldable format. Versions and price of the Honor Magic V6 Honor Magic V6 | Image: Honor Honor has not revealed the price of the device, it has simply confirmed that it will be launched in the second half. We will have to wait until then to find out the price. We also do not know exact RAM memory configurations or colors.

A couple of years ago Xiaomi launched the Xiaomi Watch 2one of its first forays into watches with Wear OS. We liked it a lot and the truth is that for 200 euros it was a highly recommended device. Today. Within the framework of MWC 2026, the Chinese firm has announced its successor, the Xiaomi Watch 5a device that draws on the best watches we have seen to date and takes the leap to be more powerful, more premium and, following the strategy of premiumization of the company, also more expensive. And it is that he Xiaomi Watch 5 It costs 299.99 euros, but in exchange it offers one of the largest batteries we have seen in its segment thanks to carbon silicon, the most updated version of Wear OS and a fairly complete set of functions. With the introductions made, let’s get to know him better. Xiaomi Watch 5 technical sheet xiaomi watch 2 dimensions and weight 47 x 47 x 12.3 56 grams (without strap) belt 135-205mm screen 1.54 inch AMOLED Resolution 480 x 480 pixels 312dpi Brightness: up to 1,500 nits processor Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 BES2800 ram memory 2GB internal storage 32GB endurance 5ATM connectivity WiFi 2.4/5GHz Bluetooth 5.4 NFC compatibility Android 8.0 or higher battery 930mAh Xiaomi Surge Battery Magnetic charging sensors Optical heart rate sensor SpO2 Accelerometer Gyroscope ambient light electronic compass barometer sensor EMG sensor geopositioning Integrated GPS chip Double frequency L1+L5 GPS, Galileo, Glonass, Beidou, QZSS operating system Wear OS 6 others 160 sports modes Fall detection Heart rate monitoring Blood oxygen monitoring Sleep monitoring Stress monitoring Bluetooth calls Google Gemini Xiaomi HyperConnect price 299.99 euros This is how Xiaomi makes money – they attract you and trap you Solving the problem of watches with Wear OS Xiaomi Watch 5 | Image: Xataka Xiaomi has worked on its watch to give it a more refined look, with a huge 1.54 inch AMOLED panel that expands to practically the edge of the box. This one, in fact, is not much bigger than the previous model. It is more or less the same, with slight differences in thickness, but there is one detail that makes the difference: the frames. The Chinese firm has managed to reduce them to just 2.6 millimeters, which has allowed it to increase the diameter of the screen without the device growing in size. Minipoint for the company, which now mounts a 1.54-inch panel with 480 x 480 pixel resolution. However, the most appreciated thing will not be the size, but the maximum brightness, which is more than double that of the Xiaomi Watch 2: from 600 nits to 1,500 nits from HBM. Xiaomi Watch 5 | Image: Xataka Notable changes also in the engine, which now, following the trail marked by OnePlus, OPPO and Mobvoihas a dual processor architecture. The heavyweight is still the Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 and it is the one that will be in charge of the most intensive processes. A low-power BES2800 chip will take care of the rest of the light tasks and stand-by functions. It’s a smart strategy that, historically, has worked very well. But the key to everything, what surely makes the difference, is the silicon-carbon battery. We have already seen this technology on mobile phones and some watches like the Huawei Watch GT 6 Proand the result is outstanding. Where before there was 495 mAh, now Xiaomi has managed to put a battery of 930mAh with which it promises up to six days of autonomy in smart mode, 18 if we use low consumption mode. It is, by far, one of the highest figures on the market, at least for now. Xiaomi Watch 5 | Image: Xataka The operating system is Wear OS 6 and, therefore, it has Google Gemini, Google Wallet and access to the Google Play Store aka Spotify apps, Google Maps, Youtube Music, etc. On the other hand, the notable sensors are the PPG, the IMU and the EMG. These last two sensors are used to detect special actions on the hands and wrists, such as pinching, rubbing two fingers, snapping, etc., so we can do things like reject calls or control the camera by making basic gestures. Versions and price of the Xiaomi Watch 5 Xiaomi Watch 5 | Image: Xataka He Xiaomi Watch 5 It can be purchased in black and green, the former having a dark-colored box and the latter having a silver finish. Its price does not change: 299.99 euros in both cases. Images | Xiaomi In Xataka | The best smartwatches (2026): their analyzes and videos are here

Dyson is opening its horizons in the vacuum segment. The British firm is an institution in wireless vertical vacuuming and its classic sled vacuum cleaners continue to be a master purchase, but leaving those formats to find its place in others like robot vacuum cleaners It is costing him, among other things, because The competition coming from China is fierce. Well, Dyson has just presented its candidacy in a niche that today speaks Chinese: it has just launched its PencilWash, an ultralight electric mop. An unmistakable stylish design. The format may change, but the design and colors chosen leave no room for doubt: we are looking at a Dyson. Matte finishes, bright shades, those lace pieces with their iconic red button. But it is also differential: while the Roborock F25 Ace Pro either Dreame H15 Pro They are heavy and bulky, the English company is practically a stick in a total display of minimalism. Although this is essentially because what Dyson brings is different and one of a kind. According to the manufacturer, it weighs only 2.2 kilograms and its handle is less than four centimeters in diameter, which anticipates agile handling and good ergonomics (at least, an experience reminiscent of the usual mop) when sliding it across the floor of the entire house. In addition, it bends down up to 170 degrees to clean under furniture. Dyson The roller is the jewel in the crown. Although ergonomics and handling are important, what makes the difference in a cleaning device is what elements it uses. In the case of the Dyson PencilWash, it is a high-density microfiber roller (72,000 filaments per square centimeter) that rotates at 650 revolutions per minute. Dyson Goodbye to stains and spilled liquids. We mentioned above two models of vacuum cleaners-scrubbers from Chinese brands, however Dyson’s is an electric mop without that suction part (it also does not have space to house a powerful motor for suction). Of course, it comes with a hygienic filter to trap bacteria and minimize odors. In addition, the roller provides hydration (which you can adjust) to always use clean water in the cleaning process. And it’s not just limited to mopping floors: it’s capable of dealing with accidents like dropping coffee or dried stains. However, it has a detergent for hard floors for a more thorough cleaning. Dyson The wonder of putting everything on a stick. Dyson has done a true work of engineering art to integrate the components into such a minimal structure. However, its figures are solvent for medium-sized homes: according to the brand, with its 300 ml of clean water tank it is capable of cleaning up to 110 square meters of surface. As for autonomy, it is half an hour but its battery is interchangeable. Dyson Price and availability. The new Dyson PencilWash is available from today, February 19, at an official retail price of 349 euros and can be purchased from its official distributors.

Google just launched the Google Pixel 10aits new mid-range terminal. He Google Pixel 9a It worked amazingly last year, being one of the most recommended mid-range for those looking for a good photography experience. This year’s model seeks to stay on that same path, offering a similar design, although not the same, and a clear commitment to computational photography. The terminal will be available starting at 549 euros, the same price as last year. And it makes sense, since the improvements in the technical sheet, in the pure and simple components, are scarce. There are some specific new features that we will detail below, but the new features come in the software, an aspect that Google has more than mastered. Google Pixel 10a technical sheet Google Pixel 10a dimensions and weight 153.9 x 73 x 9mm 183 grams screen 6.3-inch pOLED (Actua Display) FullHD+ resolution (2,424 x 1,080 pixels) 422 dpi 20:9 format Refresh rate: 60-120 Hz Maximum brightness: 2,000 nits Peak brightness: 3,000 nits Gorilla Glass 7i HDR processor Google Tensor G4 ram memory 8GB internal storage 128/256 GB rear camera Wide Angle 48 MP, f/1.7, FOV 82º, Super Res Zoom x8 Wide angle: 13 MP, f/2.2, FOV 120º OIs+EIS 4K Video@60 FPS front camera 13 MP f/2.2, FOV 96.1º 4K Video@30 FPS battery 5,100 mAh 45W fast charging Qi wireless charging (10W) operating system Android 16 7 years of updates CONNECTIVITY USB Type C 3.2 Dual SIM (nanoSIM+eSIM) WiFi 6E 5G Bluetooth 6 NFC GPS OTHERS Google AI IP68 resistance fingerprint reader 2x microphones PRICE From 549 euros 10 GOOGLE APPS THAT COULD HAVE SUCCESSFUL When something works… Google Pixel 10a | Image: Google The Google Pixel 10a is practically identical to the previous model. At first glance it is the same, but there is a subtle difference: the camera module no longer protrudes. Not that I did it much before, but now the lenses are completely integrated into the chassis. The back is completely smooth, something that those who hate the phone to wobble will appreciate. And really, that is the most striking change in terms of design, beyond the colors. Otherwise, the phone is identical to the previous model. Same finish, same screen size, practically the same. Now, there are two key differences: the brightness and the protection of the glass: He maximum brightness It is 2,000 nits compared to the 1,800 nits of the Pixel 9a. The peak brightness, for its part, increases by 300 nits, going from 2,700 to 3,000 nits. The protective glass on the panel changes from Gorilla Glass 3 to Gorilla Glass 7i. According to Google, it has better resistance to abrasions and shocks. Google Pixel 10a | Image: Google Another change is found in the battery or, rather, in the power of fast charging. The device continues to mount a 5,100 mAh batterybut fast charging goes from 30 to 45W as long as we use a compatible charger. And that’s all in terms of hardware, because the remaining technical sheet is identical to that of the last model. The Pixel 10a mounts a pOLED panel 6.3 inches with FullHD+ resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate, as well as the same Google Tensor G4 processor as the Pixel 9a and the same amount of RAM and storage. It comes out, yes, with Android 16 and the promise of seven years of updates. Google has not detailed whether it is seven years of software or seven years in total (Android versions, Pixel Drops and security patches). It incorporates everything expected in terms of connectivity, with the update to Bluetooth 6.0that the USB is now USB 3.2 and the Satellite SOS service (emergency calls via satellite). It is the first time that a Pixel a incorporates this function, until now exclusive to the Pixel 9 and 10. Google Pixel 10a | Image: Google As for the camera, the same batch of sensors as the last generation (48-megapixel wide-angle and 13-megapixel wide-angle) and lots and lots of AI. New features include Auto Best Take and Camera Coach. The first helps everyone look good in the photo by analyzing the frames, while the second uses Gemini models to guide composition, lighting, etc. AI plays a fundamental role in the Google experienceso we will also use it for digital zoom of up to eight times and editing. The latter is quite nice, and the Google Pixel 10a allows us to edit photos using voice. You just have to ask your mobile phone and Gemini will be in charge of making the appropriate changes. Versions and price of the Google Pixel 10a Google Pixel 10a | Image: Google He Google Pixel 10a It can be purchased from March 5, although reservations begin today. Its price is 549 euros for the 8/128 GB version and, although Google has not revealed the price of the version with more capacity at the time of writing these lines, it can be expected to be similar to last year: 649 euros for 8/256 GB.

Time flies as if we didn’t realize it. It has been almost three years since BYD was presented in Spain. He did it with a presentation in Madrid in which he brought three electric cars. Two of them (Tang and Han) with a clear aspirational focus, proof of what they were capable of doing. The third was the BYD Atto 3, a car for the general public. That day we had the opportunity to get on it. A car that left a very good impression on us and that, without a doubt, anticipated that what we would see from BYD was going to be very worthwhile. But that car came with some rocks in its backpack. The battery remained at 60 kWh and the face power at just 88 kW in direct current. Figures that have been complicating their sales. Now BYD is coming to solve the problem with a BYD Atto 3 EVO, which is a completely new car to improve and expand the technical characteristics of this electric SUV. Technical specifications of the BYD Atto 3 EVO byd atto 3 EVO BODY TYPE. five-seater SUV MEASUREMENTS AND WEIGHT. 4,455 meters long, 1,875 meters wide, 1,615 meters high and 2,720 meters wheelbase. 2,160 kg weight.

Yes, I know it’s not my best phrase but it explains why in less than three years the brand has launched the renewal of a car that was already among the 10 best-sellers in our country in 2025. In China, the production and renewal rates are very high. Workers from Chinese brands tell usand it is something that we have also heard about with BYD, that China has blown up the traditional times that were available to develop a car. Normally, a generation of a car for a traditional brand lasted between six and eight years, with an aesthetic renewal after its commercial half-life. Times are now moving at a different pace.. China lives in continuous need to renew models given its aggressive price war. It is added that the electric car is a new technology that is advancing at a good pace in its developments. To this we add that BYD has begun to understand what the European market demands better than when it arrived. Now their cars have more batteries and they have a serious bet on the plug-in hybrid market. That is why the great novelty of this BYD Atto 3 EVO is the expansion of its battery. The car is now built on the e-Platform 3.0 which has 800 volt technology for a battery that grows to 74.8 kWh and a maximum charging power of 220 kW. In this way, the car can go from 10% to 80% autonomy in 25 minutes. Accompanies this increase in battery two potential versions. The Design version is rear-wheel drive and has 313 HP, with acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.5 seconds. The option with all-wheel drive is the Excellence and reaches 449 HP thanks to two electric motors, which allows the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds. The difference with the outgoing model is substantial because the car has gone from being an interesting vehicle for the urban environment but that required some patience for a long trip to a car completely capable of being that car for everything. BYD announces a range for the Excellence version of 470 kilometers according to the WLTP mixed cycle. The Design option, the least powerful, increases the autonomy in the mixed cycle up to 510 kilometers. For a realistic measurement on the road, if the car moves between 20 and 22 kWh/100 km we would be talking about about 350 kilometers between recharges. All it takes is lowering that consumption would bring us closer to 400 kilometers between recharges. Furthermore, with these changes, the BYD Atto 3 EVO has increased the space for the rear trunk, which now reaches 490 liters, to which another 101 liters must be added in the front trunk. In the technological section of the cabin, this new generation already receives the infotainment system that we have seen in the latest models of the Chinese brand, with integrated Google services and a voice assistant powered by AI. The screen is 15.6 inches and the instrument panel grows to 8.8 inches. The new BYD electric car also has NFC access, cooled wireless charging for the mobile phone, V2L function to charge devices thanks to the car battery and, in the upper segment, the Head-Up Display and heated seats are added. The car is now available and BYD has announced the following prices: Version RRP Price with aid + discounts Financed price + discounts + aid Design (510 km autonomy) 42,990 euros 33,455 euros 30,455 euros Excellence (470 km autonomy) 45,990 euros … Read more
