Although we already had a good ration of Samsung at the beginning of the year with the Unpacked of the Galaxy S25the Korean company has not let the opportunity to announce new devices within the framework of the MWC 2025. If we already had the high range on the table, what made sense is that Samsung took advantage of this event to renew its mid -range, and it has been. We already have among us the new galaxy A, being the most powerful, the Samsung Galaxy A56 5gwho stars this text. He Samsung Galaxy A55 5g It was, without a doubt, one of the star terminals of the Samsung catalog during the last year. The Galaxy A56 5G comes to collect the witness and update the Middle range. Because? Because although Samsung has taken it easy, the artificial intelligence that we have already seen in the high range finally reaches the most affordable models. At least partly. Thus samsung money earns: the secret is on the iPhone Samsung Galaxy A56 5G technical record Samsung Galaxy A56 5g Dimensions and weight 162.2 x 77.5 x 7.4 mm 198 grams screen Super AMOLED of 6.7 inches FullHD resolution Refresco rate: 120 Hz Vision Booster HBM: 1,200 nits CORNING GORILLA GLASS VICTUS+ processor Samsung Exynos 1580 GPU AMD XClipse 540 RAM 8 GB Internal storage 128/256 GB rear camera Angular: 50 MP, F/1.8, AF, OIS Great angle: 12 MP, F/2.2 Macro: 5 MP F/2.4 Front camera 12 MP F/2.2 battery 5,000 mAh Fast charge 45W Operating system Android 15 with One UI 7 connectivity WIFI 6E 5G SA/NSA GPS NFC USB type c others IP67 resistance Galaxy AI Circle to Search price 12/128 GB: 479 euros 8/256 GB: 529 euros A family design Samsung Galaxy A56 5g | Image: Samsung Samsung has not reinvented the wheel with its new Galaxy A56, but has taken what already worked and has updated it. Thus, we have a slightly larger device than its predecessor, Quite thinner (almost a millimeter) and significantly lighter (198 grams compared to 213 of the Galaxy A55). The rear retains that sober, but elegant finish, to which Samsung has accustomed us to a camera module somewhat more striking than that of the previous model. As far as the screen is concerned, Samsung has mounted a 6.7 -inch Super Amoled panel with FullHD resolution and up to 120 Hz of refreshment rate. It is a competent panel, at least on paper, and what attracts the most attention is its maximum brightness. Samsung has preferred not to get into the Nits War And, instead, he has opted for a safe figure and that works: 1,200 maximum brightness nits. The screen, by the way, is flat. Exy us under the hood (and finally, AI) Samsung Galaxy A56 5g | Image: Samsung If we open the hood we will see a processor Exynos 1580 and eight Gigas of RAM that we can combine with 128 or 256 Gigas of internal storage. The key, however, is not the power, but the software. The Galaxy A56 5g comes out with Android 15, One UI 7 And artificial intelligence leads to the most affordable prices, something that until now we had only seen in high -end models. He In fact, It is the Galaxy A56 5g that has more functionssince it is the only model that has “better face” and “Nightgraphy”. However, he shares with his brothers Galaxy A36 5G and Galaxy A26 5g the draft objects, the filters based on AI and Circle to Search. Samsung, however, has not mentioned Galaxy AI, so the deployment of AI functions does not seem total, but rather a first incursion with options more focused on creativity. Moreover, these functions of AI are more from Google than of Samsung, really. As for the battery, the Korean firm has managed to keep the 5,000 mAh capacity Despite the obvious reduction in thickness and weight. Fast charge is in the hands of a 45W power system. All this will boost Android 15 with One UI 7, as we advanced before, and will do it for longer. Because? Because Samsung has pledged to offer “up to six generations of updates of the Android and One UI operating system”, as well as six years of security updates. Triple camera with the basics Samsung Galaxy A56 5g | Image: Samsung We end with the camera. The Samsung Galaxy A56 5G incorporates a Main sensor of 50 megapixels With OIS, a great angle of 12 megapixels and a macro of five megapixels. The front camera is in the hands of a 12 megapixel sensor of resolution. It is a simple and known photographic lot in which we continue to miss the telephoto, something that is still relegated to the high -end models.

Framework laptop 13 and laptop 12, features, price and technical file

Almost five years have passed since we met the first Framework laptop. This team represented a turning point in an industry that, progressively, has been limited the capacity of users to perform repairs and updates. Since then, the American company has continued innovating with new products, such as Laptop 16 Framework and several versions of the Laptop 13 framework. Now his commitment to modularity takes another step with the renewed framework laptop 13 and the new laptop framework 12. Framework laptop 13, more power with AMD heart The Laptop 13 Framework is updated with the new AMD Ryzen AI chips from the 300 series. The base version incorporates a Ryzen AI 5 340, with six nuclei and a four -core RADEON 840m GPU. For those who seek more power, there is an option with the Ryzen AI 7 350, which rises to eight nuclei and a Radeon 860m graph, also with eight nuclei. At the top of the range is the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, which raises the bet with 12 CPU nuclei and a Radoeon 890m 16 -core GPU. In all models, the NPU reaches 50 tops. But the firm not only bets on power. The company has improved the thermal system with new algorithms and optimized materials. It has also renewed the keyboard, which maintains a 1.5 mm route, but now it is quieter. As for the screen, we can choose between a 1.5K panel with 400 nits and 60 Hz, or a more advanced option of 2.8K with 500 nits and 120 Hz. As aesthetic touch, both the bezels of the frame and the expansion cards are now translucent and are available in various colors. In the memory section, Framework allows us to configure this model with up to 8 TB of storage available through a SSD WD Black NVME unit. If we focus on RAM, the limit is 96 GB DDR5-5600. In either case we can use storage units or compatible memory cards previously acquired or acquired separately. Recall that, precisely, one of the main characteristics of this type of modularity and repair equipment. Framework laptop 12, smaller and with a touch screen This Tuesday’s event has also left us another interesting future launch: the laptop framework 12, An input convertible with touch screen of 1920×1200 pixels, 400 shine nits and support for Stylus. This model stands out for its flexible design and will allow configurations with Intel Core I3 or I5 processors of 13th generation (presented in 2023), up to 48 GB of RAM and 2 TB of NVME storage.

The OnePlus path in the world of smartwatches has been the most interesting. After A first approach that left mixed sensations, the company climbed into the wear os car with a OnePlus 2 that he liked a lot and that he went straight to the Top watches with the Google operating system. His proposal consisted of a premium watch, a double processor architecture and a really good experience. With his new smartwatch, the OnePlus Watch 3the company wants to go one step further. And it is that the OnePlus Watch 3 retains many of the things that liked the previous model, but has been updated with some interesting novelties such as a digital crown, new measurements, a better interpretation of them and more battery. All this at a similar price, although somewhat higher, to its launch predecessor. Made the presentations, we will know it better.

The crown has a conical design, is textured and can be clip and turn. The OnePlus Watch 2 also had a crown, but only admitted pulsations. The clock bezels are made of titanium alloy, while the box is made of stainless steel. With regard to the front, OnePlus has managed to take better advantage of the frames and has mounted a 1.5 -inch AMOLED LTPO panel. The screen is made of the same material as the OnePlus 13reaching a peak shine up to 2,200 nitsall protected by a 2D sapphire crystal. Speaking of protections, the clock has been manufactured according to the MIL-STD-810AH military standard, it has IP68 certification and endure up to 5 ATM. Come on, he is not afraid of water. The two processors come back Image | OnePlus Under the hood, the device again bet on a double processor architecture: a Snapdragon W5 of Qualcomm for the most demanding tasks of Y a Bes2800 MCU for the most basic tasks. According to OnePlus, this new BES2800 processor improves the CPU in 200% and the NPU in 400%. We also have two operating systems: Wear os 5 (Powerful and complete) and a (simpler and efficient) rtos that alternate depending on energy configuration. Not only have the main components be updated, but also the sensory. To the heart rhythm sensors and SPO2, whose materials have been improved, OnePlus has added a doll temperature sensor. In addition, the company has improved the design of the sensor module, so that there is less distance between the LED and the photodetector and the impact of outside light is reduced. Image | OnePlus As for the battery, 631 generous mah They will feed this watch for five days in smart mode and up to 16 days in energy saving mode. It is still one of the highest autonomies in the market, although everything will depend on the use we make of the clock. It should be noted that the clock incorporates fast charging and that in just 10 minutes it offers up to a whole day of autonomy, according to the brand. The operating system is Wear OS 5, so it has access to Google Play, Google Wallet to pay and the entire Google ecosystem. In the case of having a OnePlus smartphone, it will also be possible smartwatch screen). Health and Sports Improvements Image | OnePlus The firm has also improved how metrics are taught, giving more cohesion to all the information in the form of “360 body and mind”, a new app that, in essence, processes all the information collected by the clock and digest it to give us a global metricunderstandable and based on patterns. This is something that we have already seen in many other wearables of other brands and that now reaches the OnePlus clock. But the most juicy novelty is that, finely, OnePlus has managed to implement the electrocardiogram. Thanks to the sensor located in the “Everything in one” button (the lower one, the one that is not the crown) we can make an electrocardiogram in 30 seconds and measure our vascular health AKA the arterial rigidity. Not only that, but In 60 seconds we can make us a “medical check -up” which measures the pulsations, vascular age, the level of oxygen in blood,. Mental well -being, sleep quality and skin temperature. Image | OnePlus Or it will, rather, because neither the electrocardiogram nor this check in 60 seconds will be available. They are pending approval by the organisms and is expected to arrive in the second quarter of 2025. Finally, and in the face of the most athletes, the clock is able to analyze More than 100 sports modes and includes 11 professional ways to obtain more detailed metrics. One of them is, how could it be otherwise, running. And in that sense, note that the firm has improved the GPS chip and implemented a double band chip that should improve tracking even in more complex places.

Nothing of stripes or decorations, but smooth colors and a smaller camera module that repeats location. We are facing a big deviceof almost nine millimeters thick, and not suitable for weak hands: its weight is 220 grams. More than him Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultrato give an example. The positive part is that this has allowed Asus not to leave anything behind, to the point that the terminal incorporates headphones jack. This port, very popular in past times, will allow us to use wired headphones (wired!). Joking apart, Sound seems to be a strong point Not only because of the double stereo speaker, but for compatibility with wireless hi-res, as well as with Ozo Audio (nokia courtesy audio).

In addition to the editing and retouching functions, ASUS has implemented transcription tools for voice notes, summary of articles and documents whose execution (based on Call 3 8b of Meta) the Qualcomm Hexagon (the NPU of the processor) is responsible. It also has a call translator and cancellation of calls in calls via AI, I feel the latter the only function that is not in beta. The Asus Zenfone 12 Ultra mounts the Snapdragon 8 Elite, maximum exponent of mobile processors With regard to power, Asus has always stood out for not falling short and In this case it has not been different. The firm has implemented the Snapdragon 8 Elitethe latest Qualcomm, along with 16 generous Gigas of RAM and 512 GB of internal storage. All this gives life a 5,500 mAh battery with a fast -charged 15W and 15W wireless load. According to Asus, it gives for 21.1 hours of content streaming. Nor does it fall short of connectivity.

The camera points ways Asus Zenfone 12 Ultra | Image: Xataka Without having the most powerful camera in the market or high -end, Asus Zenfone 12 Ultra promises versatility and good performance, at least on paper. The main camera consists of a sensor Sony Lytia 700 of 50 megapixels with six -aka gimbal stabilizer AKA OIS. The camera, remember, use the technique of Pixel binningso the final resolution will be lower. Next to it is a 32 megapixel telephoto with three increases optical zoom and artificial intelligence. As already do other terminals, making more increases and going to absurd zooms, such as X30, The camera uses AI to improve sharpness and offer better results. The reality is that this varies greatly from one terminal to another and the results are not always perfect. Finally, we have a wide angle of 13 megapixels with 120º of Field of Vision and Free-From lens, that is, a lens that reduces distortion. The selfies, meanwhile, remain in the hands of a 32 megapixel camera hidden in the hole in the central area of ​​the screen. As for video functions, the most remarkable is the recording up to 8kthe stabilization and monitoring of subjects, the equivalent of cinema mode and the reduction of noise through AI during recording.

New Microsoft Surface LapTop 13.8 “and 15” (2025), characteristics, price and technical file

Microsoft premieres laptops. Those of Redmond have just presented their new 13.8 and 15 -inch laptop surface, and, as expected, they arrive equipped with the latest processors Intel Core Ultra 200V ‘Lunar Lake’. His commitment to these chips entails something that is worth not overlooking: They integrate an NPU (Neural Processing Unit or neuronal processing unit) that is prepared to deal with Copilot+ for Windows 11. This component is essential to execute Copilot+ because it brings together the necessary logic to efficiently run the processes involved in the algorithms of artificial intelligence (AI). However, any NPU does not work; To live with co -pilot+ this block of logic must have a calculation capacity of at least 40 tops (theraperations per second). Intel promises that the NPU of its processors with microarchitecture ‘Lunar Lake’ gives us up to 48 tops, although if we add to this figure the capacity of the integrated GPU and the CPU its performance is triggered up to 120 tops.

Just change the screen. Both are available with the following processors: Intel Core Ultra 5 236V, Core Ultra 5 238v, Core Ultra 7 266v and Core Ultra 7 268v. The NPU of the Core Ultra 5 has a power of 40 tops, while that of the Core Ultra 7 reaches 48 tops. Both screens have a native contrast ratio of 1,300: 1, a dynamic soda of up to 120 Hz and are compatible with Dolby Vision IQ On the other hand, both laptops are available with 16 or 32 GB of main memory of the LPDDR5X type and with a removable SSD unit with PCI-E gene interface and a maximum capacity of 1 TB. Nothing to object to here. Now comes the main difference between both machines: the tactile screen with LCD matrix of the 13.8 -inch review has a resolution of 2,304 x 1,536 points, while the 15 -inch panel proposes us 2,496 x 1,664 points. Of course, both screens have a native contrast ratio of 1,300: 1, a dynamic soda of up to 120 Hz, are compatible with DOLBY VISION IQ and deliver a maximum of 600 nits of brightness. We are now with one of the differentiating characteristics of these laptops. And both incorporate the security technology developed by Microsoft and known as ‘Pluto’. His heart is a coprocessor integrated into the Intel SOC that is responsible, in broad strokes, to protect the credentials and encryption keys to implement an additional level of security.
