features, price and technical sheet

by

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.

There was a day when that t-shirt you are wearing was made in Spain. It’s almost hard to believe it now that globalization has brought the mass manufacturing of T-shirts, pants and dresses to China, Vietnam or Bangladesh. Today, decades after that happened, Temu and Shein want to make us a new suit with fast fashion even more fastwith compulsive purchases and products that They flood the streets due to their low price. There is no doubt that They have made us Europeans a suit. And if we’re talking cars, that suit is custom made. We were thinking of stopping Chinese electric cars with tariffs. These seemed like the great threat, the paradigm shift facing the European industry. But not. Chinese manufacturers have understood well that not all Europe is the same. That not all of us need or want an electric car. The combustion engine continues to be useful and attractive to a large part of the population. And when combined with a large battery they have the best product for many. Electric in everyday life, peace of mind for traveling. Plug-in hybrids are another one of those tailored suits that have arrived from China. The European Union has not imposed tariffs on these. The problem is that you can see the seams on this Jaecoo 7 SHS. Jaecoo 7 SHS technical sheet Jaecoo 7 SHS Body type. Five-seater SUV. Measurements and weight. 4.50 meters long, 1.86 meters wide and 1.68 meters high. Wheelbase of 2.67 meters. Trunk. 340 liters. Maximum power. 340 HP for the PHEV.

No. Price and launch. PHEV from 38,900 euros before aid. Understanding the market Not all of Europe is advancing at the same pace. According to ACEA data9.4% of cars sold in Europe in 2025 were plug-in hybrids. Although they increased by 33.4% compared to the previous year, the figures are very far from the 17.4% market share of the electric car. A technology supported, above all, by Germany and Francecountries with greater purchasing power than Spain, in which they increased by 43.4% and 12.5%. Together they sold about 772,000 electric cars, more than 40% of the cars sold in Europe. The data contrasts with the Spanish. Here the plug-in hybrid It sold more than the electric one (9.52% market share compared to the 8.39% market share of the pure electric one). And in the first data from January the advantage is widening in favor of the plug-in with a combustion engine, according to Anfac data. The sale of Chinese cars in Spain also contrasts with the rest of Europe. These companies have not hesitated to enter the continent through our country, aware that we are less loyal to our brands, that we look for more affordable cars or with best quality-equipment-price ratio. And there, Chinese plug-in hybrids have a lot to say, with fewer ties than an electric car and without the obligation to pay tariffs that mitigate their competitiveness in the final price compared to traditional firms. It is no coincidence that, as of January, three of the 10 best-selling plug-in hybrid cars are Chinese. He BYD Seal U aspires to repeat as the best-selling plug-in hybrid in Spain but the Omoda 9 and the Lynk&Co 01. All of them are cars that want to offer a good image, great autonomy and a lot of space for less money than their competitors. In that same space, the Jaecoo 7 SHS wants to compete, the plug-in hybrid version, of a car that we already had the opportunity to test briefly in its gasoline version and that left us with some doubts about its behavior but for which we saw a very clear market niche in a Spain eager for an affordable offer that does not want to give up the pyrotechnics of modern cars. Neither yes, nor no, nor quite the opposite If the Jaecoo 7 reminds you of a Land Rover, let me tell you that I understand you. It is not a coincidence because Chery (group to which Jaecoo belongs) and Land Rover They have been and are partners in China. The proposal, from what I get, I like. The car attracts attention and attracts the eyes of those looking for a compact vehicle that treads in the 4.50 meter area but that provides a feeling of greater volume or packaging. Inside, things are different. Like? I think it draws attention. And all-screen cars continue to attract attention and feel groundbreaking. Maybe not among car enthusiasts but among those who are approaching the new car market for the first time after many years. Let us remember that The average age of the Spanish vehicle fleet is 14.5 years. It is through the eyes where it enters the Jaecoo 7 SHS and most of the Chinese proposals. The client, who is also evaluating a Dacia Duster and you have found a very plastic and certainly rough interior, you sit here in a good electric seat, with soft materials within reach and a 14.8-inch screen with very good visual quality. Through the window, the salesperson shows you an endless list of equipment that the car already includes as standard.

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

Valve has just announced a delay and price increase for the Steam Machine

by

Valve’s plans to revolutionize desktop video games face the reality of the component market. The company has confirmed the postponement of Steam Machine, Steam Frame and Steam Controller, initially planned for the first quarter of 2026, due to the global shortage of RAM and storage. The announcement comes accompanied by a warning: the initially announced prices will be revised upwards, which puts at risk the strategy of competing directly with traditional consoles. What we believed. The official presentation of Valve’s hardware took place in November 2025when the company simultaneously unveiled three devices aimed at expanding its ecosystem beyond the traditional PC: the Steam Machine console, the Steam Frame virtual reality headset, and a new iteration of the Steam Controller. At that time, information provided to media It targeted a launch in the first quarter of 2026. Our love broke. However, Valve has had to recalibrate its expectations. According to the statement, the company acknowledges that it hoped to announce definitive prices and specific release dates at this point, but circumstances in the component market have prevented this. “The limited availability and rising prices of these critical components mean we must review our exact shipping schedule and pricing,” they admit. A little later. The new time frame now extends to the first half of 2026, a deliberately vague formulation that contrasts with the initial precision. Valve emphasizes that it maintains its goal of distributing the three products within that period, but warns about the volatility of the scenario: they need to establish prices and dates that they can announce with confidence, aware of how quickly circumstances can change. The RAM crisis. The problem affects the entire technology industry. Memory manufacturers have experienced a unprecedented price increase: according to data from the component market, the cost of RAM modules has multiplied by three or even four from the beginning of 2026. This escalation responds to a strategic reorientation of the major producers such as SamsungSK Hynix and Micron, which prioritize the manufacture of high-performance memory for artificial intelligence servers, a segment that offers higher profit margins. It was seen coming. Already in November, when Valve presented its hardware, the warning signs were evident. By then, the company recognized that setting prices was complex because “the market is a little strange” and “memory prices are going up as we speak.” What seemed like temporary turbulence has been consolidated as a structural trend. It is a crisis that evokes the semiconductor shortage that shook the industry between 2020 and 2022, causing delays in the launch of consoles and widespread price increases in graphics cards. The current phenomenon presents, however, a peculiarity: it is not about interruptions in the supply chain, but rather a deliberate decision by manufacturers to redirect productive capacity towards the lucrative AI market, leaving the gaming industry in the background. What is known about the machine’s hardware. The Steam Machine, the star product of this trilogy, will be powered by an AMD processor, as confirmed by the semiconductor company’s CEO, Lisa Su, during the presentation of quarterly results: “From a product perspective, Valve is on track to begin shipping its AMD-powered Steam Machine early this year.” That statement, which sounded reassuring then, now takes on an ironic tone: the hardware is ready, but the economic context is not. During previous sessions with specialized media, the company indicated that the Steam Machine would be placed “close to the entry level of the PC space”, a formulation that suggested that it would compete directly with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in terms of price, rather than with high-end PC configurations. This approach clashes head-on with the current reality of the components market: competing with consoles means achieving very tight margins in a closed ecosystem where Sony and Microsoft can assume initial losses. Valve lacks that flexibility, and the increase in memory and storage costs threatens to place its products in a price range that would distance them from the average consumer.

For centuries price has been a sign of quality. Generative AI is breaking that rule in dozens of sectors

by

For centuries, price has served as a cognitive shortcut. If something costs a lot it is because, for one reason or another, it must be worth a lot. An Armani suit, Bang & Olufsen headphonesa McKinsey report. The number has always served to convey certain information to us before seeing the product. It was compressed reputation. With the arrival of generative AI, that is ending in many sectors. Today a logo can cost 15 euros or 15,000. And be the same logo. A market analysis can come from a consulting firm with offices on three continents or from a guy in pajamas who knows how to wear Deep Research. The report may be indistinguishable. In fact sometimes the second one will be betterbecause the guy in pajamas understands the sector and the consultant assigned the junior who was free. AI is breaking the link between production cost and final result. Something very similar to what Antonio Ortiz, AI popularizer and former final boss of this house, in “Artificial Intelligence and unlinking effort and result“. If anyone can generate in minutes what previously required teams, weeks, and invoices with many zeros, price no longer communicates much about quality. It’s starting to be noise. and this will force a signal migration. From ‘how much’ to ‘who’, to ‘how’ or ‘why’. The questions that will matter are going to be “who signed this?”, “what process followed?”, “what human decisions were behind it?” That is, the process will become the product. It is already beginning to be seen with design studios that They obsessively document any iterationor consultancies that not only sell you the deliverable but also also access to the reasoning of their partners. More and more we are digital artisans who charge for showing how we work and not only for what we deliver. AI has made production almost free, so we are being flooded with digital content of all kinds, so scarcity shifts to criteria. Knowing what to ask for, what to discard, what makes sense and what doesn’t. to good taste. AI can do almost anything, and what it can’t, it will learn next year. Deciding well what to do and what not to do is still expensive. There, for the moment and luckily, there is no shortcut.

Airlines justify price increases with additional premium services. All except one: Ryanair

by

The increase in operating costs It is making it increasingly difficult for airlines to offer low-priced flights. The low-cost They are becoming less and less, and with each passing year the prices of their tickets increase. Airlines have found a simple way to justify that increase: offer more comfort with wide seats and extra services that sound like luxury. Ryanair, however, does the opposite. Although the Irish company is forced to raise the price of its tickets, the company is reluctant to include any “luxury” options to justify the price increase. The boom in “premium” seats. As and how he published The New York Timestraditional airlines are dedicating more and more space on airplanes to seats for “premium” tourist class, with larger seats and improved services. This allows them to charge much more for those seats, while maintaining the number of passengers. The data they point because tickets for these “premium” tourist zones cost up to five times more than a normal one and represent close to 15% of revenue per passenger. According to data of Financial Timesuntil 2028, the number of seats of this type will grow by 11% each year, while the basic economy class stagnates in terms of sales. With this new “premium” tourist model, airlines earn more for each person who travels, without having to squeeze passengers into increasingly tight seats. The low-cost ones join the cart. Such is the success of this model, that even low-cost airlines have begun to offer packages with more services and, of course, with a higher price. Companies like EasyJet or Frontier Airlines They sell “premium” options with priority boarding, seat selection or even complete vacation packages. This adds extra costs to the way you work. The problem is that these added services make the ticket more expensive, so now they depend more on charging for the large baggage check-in or reservation changes. This makes them lose their price advantage and brings them closer to traditional airlines. Their response has been to stop competing for passenger volume at a low price, and now they seek to offer prices equivalent to a single ticket on a conventional airline, but with extra amenities. Ryanair does not take the bait. Ryanair has already announced that the price of your tickets will increase up to 9% in 2026. The company has achieved keep your costs very controlled placing its expenses per passenger and kilometer at only 4.5 euro cents, compared to more than 7 cents for rivals such as EasyJet or Eurowings, or 9 cents for British Airways. Keeping operating expenses low is what allows Ryanair to continue with its low pricing policy without having to offer “premium” features. Something in which its CEO seems not to give in one bit, judging by the clash in X between Elon Musk and Michael O’Leary for connectivity WiFi on airplanes. Musk claimed that more and more airlines were offering WiFi connection packages on their flights as a “premium” option, and criticized Ryanair for not including it. The response from the controversial CEO of Ryanair was immediate, ensuring that he was not going to offer anything that would increase the operating costs of his planes, and the installation of a Starlink antenna increased fuel consumption. That ignited the spark of a small brawl in which Musk threatened to buy the airline but O’Leary knew how to take to his field. Costs are the key. As demonstrated by the latest financial balance of the Irish airline, savings and containment of operating costs are the secret of Ryanair’s success which, with its refusal to pay the increase in Aena rates and at the price of fuel, it recorded profits of 2,540 million euros in the last half of 2025. While the rest of the airlines must resort to “premium” services to justify their price increases. Ryanair seems to be comfortable with its role as stingy in services to its passengers, and prefers to continue betting on a strategy of low prices and moving a highest percentage of passengers. For now, that model works for them. In Xataka | The CEO of Ryanair would govern a country like his airline: a “low cost” state with millionaire politicians and cuts in services Image | Ryanair
