Steam Machine, information, technical sheet

After years of rumors and a first failed attempt back in 2015, Valve is back at it with the Steam Machineits cube-shaped desktop console (or PC, depending on how you look at it) designed to bring the entire Steam library to your living room. The company presented it in November 2025 along with the new Steam Controller now the virtual reality glasses Steam Frameforming its own hardware ecosystem that revolves around Steam OS. Regarding its launch, however, things are still not going as well as Valve would have wanted. The global RAM memory crisis and components has disrupted its plans, delaying both the price and the final date. Despite this, the machinery is already in motion, because at least we already have the Steam Controller on sale and, according to Valve’s latest update, the console aims for release this summer. Below these lines we tell you everything that is known to date about the Steam Machine. What exactly is the Steam Machine? The Steam Machine is not a normal console, but a compact cube-shaped PC that runs SteamOS, Valve’s operating system based on Linux. The idea is that it works like a console (you plug it into the TV, take the controller and play), but with the flexibility of a computer underneath. It is, in essence, the tabletop older sister of the Steam Deck. In fact, Pierre-Loup Griffais, SteamOS developer, compared the experience with that of playing a Steam Deck connected to the dock, only with much more graphical muscle. Valve estimates that the Steam Machine offers about six times the power of the Steam Deck. Unlike the 2015 attempt (which depended on external manufacturers and never caught on), this time Valve has developed everything in-house: hardware, software and accessories. When is the Steam Machine released? This has been the great unknown for months. When it was announced in November 2025, Valve was talking about an “early 2026” release window for all three devices. However, the component crisis forced the company to be more cautious, starting to talk first about the “first half of 2026.” However, Valve has calmed the waters and in an official publication in Steam they assured that both the Steam Machine and the Steam Frame They will arrive this summer of 2026. It did so by expanding its Verified program to include both devices, where the company itself stated that both devices will go on sale during the summer. The Steam Controller was ahead of the rest and hit the market on May 4, 2026 for 99 euros. Valve decided to release its controller first, in part, to not force PC users to wait for the console and, according to explained Steve Cardinali, the company’s hardware engineer, because the controller does not depend on the RAM memory, which is strangling the production of the rest of the catalog. How much will the Steam Machine cost? Valve has not yet announced an official price, and The reason is directly linked to the memory and storage crisis. The company has acknowledged that the escalation in component prices has precisely delayed the confirmation of the cost. What Valve has dropped is its pricing philosophy. And the idea is to be in the range that it would cost to assemble a PC in parts with equivalent performance. In the initial presentation it was estimated that, due to the components it includes, the console could cost around $700. The problem is that, since then, DRAM prices have soared more than 170% year-on-yearas the VGC medium recalled, which makes it difficult to maintain any previous figure. Added to this is the information from journalist Mike Straw, from Insider Gaming, who point because Valve has been debating internally about the price and whether it would be willing to sell the device at a loss, at least in the short term. There will be two models depending on storage (512 GB and 2 TB), so a price range is foreseeable. Likewise, any number should be taken with caution until the official announcement. What specifications does the Steam Machine have? Image: IGN Inside, the Steam Machine features custom-designed AMD hardware. These are the specifications that Valve has confirmed: CPU: Semi-customized AMD Zen 4 with 6 cores and 12 threads, with a frequency of up to 4.8 GHz and a TDP of just 30 watts. GPU: Semi-custom AMD RDNA 3 with 28 compute units (CUs) and sustained clock speed up to 2.45 GHz, accompanied by 8 GB of GDDR6 VRAM. RAM memory: 16 GB of DDR5 (independent of VRAM, unlike the unified memory of the Steam Deck). Storage: NVMe SSD in 512 GB or 2 TB versions, expandable via microSD slot. The SSD goes in an M.2 slot accessible in the base. Performance goal: 4K at 60 FPS relying on AMD’s FSR scaling, with support for ray tracing. Refrigeration: a single 120 mm fan. Feeding: source integrated into the chassis, without external thief. Regarding its positioning, it is advisable to moderate expectations. Valve counted that The console will have the price of an entry-level gaming PCavoiding selling it as a graphic beast. Its advantage over the current generation of consoles is in the architecture, since Zen 4 and RDNA 3 They are much more modern than the Zen 2 and RDNA 2 that they mount PS5 and Xbox Series. The route designed for 4K, of course, involves generating the image at an internal resolution close to 1440p and scaling it using FSRmore than by moving that resolution natively. What design and size does it have? Image: Tom’s Hardware The Steam Machine is a compact black cube that measures approximately 156 x 152 x 162 mm and weighs about 2.6 kg, designed to go unnoticed under the television. In The front incorporates a customizable removable plate and a configurable LED stripin addition to the USB-A ports and the microSD slot. Video, network and power connectivity is concentrated behind it, next to the fan grill. According to they count from GamersNexus, that faceplate is magnetic plastic and … Read more

New LG Micro RGB evo AI MRGB96 2026, features, price and technical sheet

If we look at a premium television today, we find a map that is increasingly difficult to read. OLED, Mini LED, the very expensive MicroLEDRGB MiniLED, Micro RGB: many names sound similar, but they don’t mean the same thing or promise to solve the same problems. And that difference matters, because we are not just talking about marketing, but about how the screen lights up, how color is reproduced and what viewing experience we can expect when we bring the TV into the living room. In this increasingly populated terrain now appears LG with the MRGB evo AI. The interesting thing is that the brand arrives when Micro RGB has already begun to move in the market. In Xataka we have seen it up close with the Samsung R95Hthe company’s first Micro RGB. The underlying idea is that the high-end LED range also begins to compete because of how the light behind the panel works. In other words, the fight is no longer just about having more inches or more brightness, but about better controlling how the color is generated. That’s where LG’s latest move for Spain comes in. The company has announced a family of premium LED televisions in sizes of 75, 86 and 100 incheswith the focus on color, brightness and large format. In its communication, LG insists that this proposal is based on the experience accumulated over years with its OLED televisions, especially in image processing and precision.

LG’s Micro RGB technology continues to work on an LED base, but changes the way the panel is illuminated: instead of relying on a more traditional LED backlight, it uses a backlight made up of independently controlled red, green and blue LEDs. These LEDs, they promise, are smaller than the company’s own Mini LEDs and are designed to expand color reproduction. The key, therefore, is not in each pixel emitting light on its own, but in fine-tuning the lighting that comes from behind much more. Here appears the bridge that the brand wants to build with its most recognizable territory. The company claims that MRGB uses “OLED precision” to control each of the RGB LEDs on the backlighta way of presenting this technology as heir to part of its image experience, although applied to another family of televisions. The technical protagonist of this idea is the 3rd generation α11 4K processora family of chips associated with LG’s most ambitious televisions. The promise of the image relies, above all, on color. According to LG, this model is the first Micro RGB TV to obtain the triple certification of 100% TriColor color coverage by Intertek, with full coverage of BT.2020, DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB. We are talking about three color spaces that serve to measure how far a screen can go when reproducing different tones, from audiovisual standards to more demanding image uses. Added to this, always according to official information, are up to 13,104 Micro LEDs, 5,184 independent zones and a peak of up to 3,000 nits. The manufacturer also talks about Anti-glare Pro with a reduction of up to 98% in controlled conditions, a promise designed for those who watch television during the day or in brightly lit rooms. To that are added Dolby Vision for compatible HDR content, Dolby Atmos for surround sound and a design ready to stay against the wall. It is a less striking part than the backlight, but important to complete the audiovisual experience without limiting it only to color and brightness. Anyone who has used a recent LG television knows very well that webOS It is the basis of your interface. Here the difference is in the accompanying package: search with Gemini and Copilotvoice control, recommendations, virtual assistant and updates planned until 2031. LG also includes Shield to reinforce privacy, data security and system integrity. Operation relies once again on the Magic Pointer Remote, the remote control with a wireless pointer that allows you to move around the interface with a motion sensor and scroll wheel. If we buy a television of this type, we probably won’t do it just to watch movies or series with the highest quality possible. We also expect it to respond well when we connect a console, use a PC or access a cloud gaming service. There LG places several pieces on the table: VRR at 165Hza variable refresh rate that allows the screen to adapt its rhythm to the game signal to gain fluidity and avoid image jumps. Add to that Motion Booster up to 330 Hz, AMD FreeSync Premium and compatibility with GeForce NOW.

New Oura Ring 5, features, price and technical sheet

Why would you buy a smart ring? The most immediate answer is simple: because it can measure sleep, activity, heart rate and other health data without forcing us to carry another screen with us. But there is a second, equally important reason: if it is well thought out, it can be done without taking up the wrist, without replacing a traditional watch and without reminding us every moment that we carry technology on our bodies. The problem appears when that balance is broken and the product begins to look less like a conventional ring and more like a small piece of technology accepted on the finger. That’s where the Oura Ring 5 wants to make a move: not only does it promise to measure better, it also wants to be noticed less. Oura’s movement is going right in that direction. According to the companythe Oura Ring 5 has 40% less volume than the Oura Ring 4 and measures 6.09 mm wide and 2.28 mm thick. According to the information available, its weight ranges between 2 and 2.69 grams, depending on size. On paper, the difference may seem small because we are still talking about millimeters and grams, but in a product designed to be worn during the day, at night and during training, everything indicates that this cut should be noticeable. You’ll have to check it with the ring on your hand and on your finger, because that’s where you really decide if miniaturization changes the experience. A smaller ring, but not simpler This reduction does not come, at least according to the firm, from simply squeezing the same components into a thinner casing. The company assures that the Ring 5 has been redesigned from the inside, with an architecture designed to fit sensors, battery and electronics in a much more limited space. In his technical explanation, Oura talks about a domino effect: by modifying one part in such a small product, the rest of the design has to change too. The most delicate part of this redesign is in the sensors. Oura assures that the Ring 5 incorporates low-profile sensors to improve contact with the skin, more efficient LEDs and 12 signal paths designed to obtain more consistent readings on different fingers and skin tones. The company also claims that this generation can obtain a pulse signal up to 100 times stronger than that of wrist wearables, a fact that should be read as a brand argument, but that helps to understand why the finger continues to be an interesting territory to measure constants. Compared to the Oura Ring 4, Oura speaks of 12% more accuracy in nighttime HRV and 19% more accuracy in measuring heart rate during activities such as running, walking or cycling. All of this would be left half-done if the ring was not prepared to survive everyday use. The Ring 5 is made of titanium, a material Oura says it chose for its strength-to-weight ratio, and features a more scratch-resistant PVD coating than previous generations. Oura also presents it as water resistant up to 100 meters and with IP68 certification, so the brand proposes it as a device to sleep, train, swim or wear during the day without having to treat it as a fragile piece. Autonomy accompanies this approach of continuous use. Oura speaks of between 6 and 9 days of battery life on a charge, depending on size, and an optional case, sold separately, capable of providing up to five full charges. But the Ring 5 doesn’t just arrive with hardware changes: the company also announces new features such as Health Radar, GLP-1 Insights and AI-assisted personalized medical guidance in collaboration with Counsel Health. Price and availability In Spain, the Oura Ring 5 can be reserved from May 28, 2026 and reserved orders will begin to ship from June 4, 2026, according to Oura information for our market. Entry to the new generation starts at 429 euros, but goes up to 529 euros in various finishes. It is a relevant point because it is advisable to add the subscription to the price of the ring if we want to access the advanced functions of the platform. Silver: 429 euros Black: 429 euros Stealth: 529 euros Brushed Silver: 529 euros Gold: 529 euros Deep Rose: 529 euros It will be available in six finishes: Silver, Black, Stealth, Brushed Silver, Gold and Deep Rose.

The camera module is square and is located in the upper left corner. The main difference comes with the Xiaomi 17T Pro is the largest and heaviest model of the family, reaching 219 grams, while the Xiaomi 17T stays at 200 grams, which is not exactly light either. Both have Gorilla Glass 7i and IP68 certification for water and dust resistance. In the screen section, we find differences in the size and also the refresh rate. The Pro model integrates a 6.83-inch AMOLED panel with a refresh rate of up to 144Hz, while the standard model stays at 6.59 inches and 120Hz. We notice the refresh rate in the fluidity of the screen when moving, although both are at a fairly high level so there should be no notable differences in daily use. Both feature Dolby Vision compatibility and TÜV Rheinland eye care certifications such as blue light and flicker reduction. Xiaomi 17T Pro In the cameras, the big news is that the Leica telephoto lens comes to both models. We are talking about a 50 megapixel sensor, under a lens with a focal length equivalent to 115 mm or a 5x optical zoom. In the previous generation, the Pro was the only one that had 5x zoom, it is appreciated that they equip them at this point. The main sensor is 50 megapixels, although it is not exactly the same: the 17T Pro has a 1/1.31-inch Light Fusion 950 and the normal one a 1/1.55-inch Light Fusion 800. The difference, therefore, is in the size and that has a notable impact on the quality of the images. In addition, the Xiaomi 17T Pro has a slightly brighter lens. They also have a 12-megapixel wide-angle camera and a 32-megapixel selfie camera. Power and autonomy The Xiaomi 17T Pro sets the standard with the MediaTek Dimensity 9500, a chip manufactured in a 3-nanometer process and capable of reaching clock speeds of up to 4.21GHz. According to Xiaomi, it offers 32% higher performance compared to the previous model. For its part, the Xiaomi 17T equips the MediaTek Dimensity 8500-Ultra, 4 nanometers, which reaches a slightly lower maximum speed of 3.4GHz. This model improves performance by 25%. In terms of memory, both have 12 GB of LPDDR5X RAM, which allows speeds of up to 9600Mbps. However, while the standard model is offered in 12/256GB and 12/512GB versions, the Pro model adds a higher 12/1TB variant. They both have the Xiaomi 3D IceLoop cooling system which uses vapor-liquid separation technology to channel heat away from processing. Xiaomi 17T In software, the experience is identical. Both feature the Xiaomi HyperOS layer and integrate a strong package of artificial intelligence features under the Xiaomi HyperAI umbrella. Xiaomi bets on technology silicon-carbon what is catapulting autonomy resultsin addition to allowing slimmer designs. The Xiaomi 17T Pro has a 7,000mAh battery with support for 100W fast wired charging and 50W wireless charging. The Xiaomi 17T stays with 6,500 mAh and 67W fast wired charging.

Omoda 7 and the challenge of seating the customer A few days ago we counted on Xataka that 22% of electric cars purchased in the EU arrive from China. From Chinese and European manufacturers but from China. In order to prevent this from happening or, at least, to try to stop the wave and keep it at the current 22%, the European Union imposed tariffs on these cars. In that game of tug of war that is geopolitics, Europe left the door open to cars They do have combustion engines. Cigars and plug-in hybrids, claiming that the real Chinese state doping was limited to electric cars. Whether they are right or not, China took the door and kicked it down. With special attention to countries where value for money is most valued, Chinese manufacturers have put a lot of effort into positioning themselves as the cheap alternative to European ones. So far this yearthere are five Chinese cars among the 10 best-selling plug-in hybrids in Spain. The first two are BYD cars. The rest are from the Chery group with two representatives from Omoda and one from Ebro. One of them is the Omoda 7. And it is not coincidental. As in the case of BYD Seal U DM-iit is not a question of the car being cheaper than its rivals (with equal equipment), it is also the perception of quality that its interior exudes. For now, Chinese manufacturers continue to have the problem of breaking stereotypes and putting the potential customer in the driver’s seat. When they do, it is rare that they opt for a European or traditional firm. It remains to be seen if it is a fad or if we are an exception in Europe. What is certain is that their sales throughout the continent are growing and that, from what I speak with those close to me, Chinese brands are attractive because the customer feels that vehicles from European companies have become more expensive at the same rate that the quality of the materials has taken the opposite path. It is not a coincidence, it is an image and it is results And, as I said, if the brand manages to seat the potential customer inside an Omoda 7 like this, it has a lot to gain. Because the perceived quality of the materials is very good. On the steering wheel, different functions sit on the same piece but the touch is precise. In the central tunnel there are buttons for the basic climate controls, with a well-fitting and pleasant to the touch finish, especially the moving parts to raise and lower the temperature. The rest of the dashboard is dominated, of course, by a huge screen which in this case is 15.6 inches. A screen that moves if we slide our five fingers on the screen from one side to the other. Thus, we can send it to the co-pilot’s position (and return it to the driver, of course) thanks to a mechanized chain that cannot be seen. An artifice as unexpected as it is surprising that is sure to delight children. Is it practical? Well, relatively, if the co-pilot wants to change songs or look for an address, it will be easier with the screen in front, although it is not a drama to do it from the central position. Is it striking? Well, much more than practical and that’s where its charm lies. Screen in the co-pilot position Beyond the anecdote, the infotainment system remains as simple and practical as ever. The “home” screen has various widgets at the bottom that you can play with to manage the sound of the radio or music without diving into the menus. Additionally, it has a well-structured secondary menu but it requires some learning to remember that, for example, a negative point: regulating the position of the mirrors requires you to go through the screen. What I have noticed a good improvement in is compatibility with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. In this Omoda 7 the system runs very smoothly when we choose to use either of these two systems and I have not noticed jerks as I have experienced with other Chinese cars. Once in motion, the good feelings remain. The seat is well padded and is heated and ventilated. Options that in traditional brands, again, continue to add to the final bill. Like the Head-Up Display, which is also standard and works and is clearly read. The Omoda 7 SHS is a plug-in hybrid that uses the now “classic” system … Read more

Samsung Odyssey G8 G80H, features, price and technical sheet

To what extent does the monitor matter when we talk about gaming? Much more than it seems when one looks only at the processor, graphics or console. The screen is the last link in that entire chain: there the power is translated into images, fluidity, detail and response. Samsung has made a move with a proposal that draws attention from the first piece of information: a Odyssey G8 which the company presents as “the industry’s first 6K gaming monitor.” The protagonist of this release is the G80HSthe 32-inch version of the Odyssey G8, a product that comes with a particularly ambitious technical sheet. The resolution is 6144 x 3456 pixels, with a density of 224 dpi. The format remains at 16:9, the panel is flat and the technology chosen is IPS, a base that seeks to combine sharpness, viewing angle and response. Samsung Odyssey G8 G80HS technical data sheet Samsung Odyssey G8 32″ (G80HS) Panel 32-inch Fast IPS 16:9 aspect ratio HDR10+ HDR10+ Gaming Resolution 6144 x 3456 pixels (6K) 3072 x 1728 pixels (3K) MAXIMUM REFRESH FREQUENCY 165Hz (6K) 330Hz (3K) typical brightness 350 nits contrast ratio 1,000:1 response time 1 (GTG) VIEWING ANGLES 178°(H) 178°(V) Color support sRGB 99% Up to 1 billion colors connectivity 1 x Display Port 2 x HDMI 2.1 1x USB-B upstream 2x USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 Headphone output dimensions 714.5 x 595.4 x 263.9 mm (with base) weight 7.4 kilos (with base) price Unannounced The Odyssey G8 that stands out for its jump in resolution We talk about higher resolution, but does this always mean a better experience? The reality is that to really notice it content is missingdistance of use and equipment capable of moving the games. That said, the G80HS’s bet goes in a clear direction: offering a cleaner image, with finer contours and more room to work on the desktop. It is a very current approach, because many users no longer buy a monitor just to play: they are looking for a screen that can be used to edit, write, view content and then return to the game. The other half of the proposal is speed. Samsung proposes two paths: use the monitor in 6K at 165 Hz or go down to 3K to reach 330 Hz through Dual Mode. The refresh rate indicates how many times per second the image can be updated, so a higher number can translate into smoother movements. It makes sense that there are two modes, because not all titles ask for the same thing: a narrative game can benefit more from the detail, while a competitive one usually appreciates every extra fluidity. The chosen panel also helps to understand where the G80HS is going. Samsung talks about “Fast IPS“, a technology that seeks to combine good color reproduction, wide viewing angles and a quick response, three important points when the monitor is not always used from the front or only for gaming. The firm mentions 178 degrees of horizontal and vertical vision, support for up to 1 billion colors and 99% coverage of the sRGB space. The image is completed with HDR10 and HDR10+ Gaming, a set of compatibilities designed to improve the treatment of brightness and contrast. HDR10+ Gaming, remember, optimizes values ​​in real time to make details more visible in dark areas and brightly lit parts of the scene. In a game, this can make very specific differences: distinguishing an opponent better in a shadow, reading a nighttime environment more clearly, or better preserving the reading of a brightly lit area. On a screen with these characteristics, connectivity is also part of the experience. The G80HS includes DisplayPort 2.1, two HDMI 2.1one USB-B upstream port, two USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 and headphone output. In practice, this allows you to set up a desktop with a PC, other gaming devices and peripherals without depending so much on external adapters, although it is worth keeping one detail in mind: does not include speakers. Samsung also includes an ergonomic stand with height, tilt, swivel and pivot adjustment, plus VESA 100 x 100mm mounting support. It should be noted that the G80HS does not arrive alone, and that also helps to understand the breadth of Samsung’s launch. The new Odyssey family includes other models, such as a 27-inch G8 with 5K resolution at 180 Hz or up to 360 Hz in QHD through Dual Mode, in addition to OLED proposals such as the Odyssey OLED G8 and the Odyssey OLED G7. The company has also renewed the ViewFinity S8 line, more aimed at professional environments. Odyssey G8 G80H Price and Availability Samsung talks about the launch of its new generation of Odyssey and ViewFinity monitors, but in the information provided the price does not appear of the Odyssey G8 G80HS nor a specific date of commercial availability in Spain. What the company does indicate is that it is now possible to register on its website to discover the new Odyssey G8 line, the Odyssey OLED G7 and the ViewFinity S8, in addition to accessing the launch promotion.

Fitbit Air, features, price and technical sheet

Fitbit seemed to have remained in the background within the Google ecosystem, almost like a brand that remained there by inertia while the prominence fell to the PixelWatch. Now come back with Fitbit Aira simple and light bracelet, which points just in the opposite direction to that of many smart watches: fewer visible functions, less complications and a more contained price. The paradox is that this return of hardware also comes with a less obvious reading: the brand, loved by many users, is beginning to become increasingly diluted within the search giant. It is not just any release within the Google catalog. The Fitbit Air is Fitbit’s first hardware device in almost four years, so its arrival could be read as a small resurrection for the brand. But the entire movement points in another direction. Google bought Fitbit a few years ago for $2.1 billion and, since then, it has been bringing this technology increasingly closer to its own ecosystem. Now the step is even more visible: Google is already presenting the old Fitbit app under the name Google Health, a step that reveals part of its strategy. Fitbit Air technical sheet Fitbit Air dimensions and weight Length: 34.9mm Width: 17mm height: 8.3mm 5.2g without strap 12g with strap Memory Saves 7 days of detailed minute-by-minute motion data. Save 1 day of training data Save daily totals for the last 30 days Stores heart rate data in 2 second intervals battery and charging Up to 7 days of autonomy Lithium polymer battery Charge from 0 to 100% in 90 minutes connectivity Bluetooth 5.0 sensors Optical heart rate monitor Three-axis accelerometer Red and infrared sensors to monitor oxygen saturation (SpO2) On-device temperature sensor (skin temperature variation available in the Google Health app) vibration motor Endurance Water resistant up to 50 meters. colors Obsidian, mist gray, raspberry, lavender price From 99.99 euros A simple bracelet for a much more ambitious strategy Fitbit Air is quick to understand because it doesn’t try to do everything. It has no screen, it has no buttons and you don’t want to become another device to look at every few minutes. The idea is simpler: you put it on, wear it during the day or at night and let it record activity, sleep and some health metrics without asking you too much attention. We are looking at a product that weighs 12 grams with the strap and 5.2 grams without it, so Google’s promise seems to go in the direction of having more functions in sight as well as wearing something comfortable that almost disappears on the wrist. That simplicity doesn’t mean that the Fitbit Air arrives empty inside. It incorporates an optical heart rate sensor, gyroscope, accelerometer, blood oxygen sensor and skin temperature sensor for sleep monitoring. It also withstands immersion up to 50 meters and promises seven days of battery life on a charge, plus one day of use with five minutes plugged in. Another important detail is that it can work simultaneously with a Pixel Watch. So it doesn’t seem designed for you if you just want to respond to messages, receive notifications, or have a screen full of data on your wrist. That’s what smart watches are already for. But if you are looking for a simple way to measure your activity, your rest and some health signals without getting too complicated, Fitbit Air may be an option to consider. It also fits if you already have a Pixel Watch and prefer to leave the watch for the day, but wear something lighter to sleep or train. The other big change you will not notice on your wrist, but on your mobile. If you used Fitbit as a reference application, as we pointed out above, that space is renamed Google Health. Google’s idea is to bring together health monitoring, wellness data and personalized coaching, all in one place. The change also involves integrating Health Connect, the Android layer designed to organize health data between applications. On paper, it may seem like just a name change, but it says a lot about what’s happening: Fitbit continues to appear on the band, while the daily experience begins to move more and more towards Google. The subscription layer also changes location. Google explains that Fitbit Premium becomes Google Health Premium. This is where the most ambitious features come in, such as the personal health coach integrated with Gemini, plans that adapt to progress, rest and recovery, or the possibility of receiving more personalized information on well-being. Price and availability of Google Fitbit Air in Spain Google Fitbit Air can now be reserved in Spain from 99.99 euros. The device also includes a three-month trial of Google Health Premium for new members, with subsequent automatic renewal for 8.99 euros per month if not canceled.

March 2023. It has been more than three years since Volkswagen will show us the ID for the first time. 2all. That car has finally been called ID.Polo. It is a subtlety without much importance that perfectly summarizes the path that the company has taken in recent years and what steps the electric car has been taking. Be that as it may, we already know all the technical and mechanical details and the price of a car that It will be manufactured in Martorell. Volkswagen ID technical sheet. Pole VOLKSWAGEN ID. Pole Body type Five-seater urban Measurements and weight 4,053 mm long, 1,816 mm wide and 1,530 mm high. Wheelbase of 2,600 mm. 1,576 kg weight. Trunk 441 liters.

Version with LFP battery of 37 kWh net (autonomy to be confirmed) with powers of 85 kW (116 HP) and 99 kW (135 HP). Version with NCM battery of 52 kWh (449 km of autonomy) and 155 kW (211 HP of power) Price and release Now available in its 52 kWh battery version. Without aid: from 35,070 euros With discounts and aid: from 24,330 euros “Typically Volkswagen” When Volkswagen presented the ID. 2all said it was a car “typically Volkswagen”. By this they meant that it was a car that should fit into most families. That “2all” didn’t leave much room for doubt either. Those days we thought that the electric car was going to advance faster than what we have seen since. The “cheap” electric car has a problem. Right now, its batteries are short and its main obstacle is its autonomy on the road. With a Volkswagen Polo you traveled anywhere with more or less discomfort in terms of space. The ID. 2all It promised those same inconveniences but, in addition, added another that many clients do not seem to be willing to assume: lengthen travel times. In the three years that have passed since then, the brands have verified that the customer has certain reluctance to make the leap to this technology if they do not have a guaranteed autonomy large enough to Do not turn trips into a small ordealno matter how few they are per year. And they have also discovered that they do not want something disruptive, that they do not care if the car is electric if it maintains the essences that we already knew. Volkswagen has remained firm in its commitment to offer an electric car for less than 25,000 euros but it has changed some decisions that were not liked. The most obvious, the name. The car will eventually be called Volkswagen ID. Polo, writing a new page in the history of the model. The second thing is the physical buttons, which the German company is returning to its models after poor usability decisions and certainly erratic functioning on its touch surfaces. The most urban Volkswagen Polo in history Current technical limitations, until higher energy density batteries arrive and their popularity lowers manufacturing prices, forces this Volkswagen ID. Polo is the most urban version of its history. And the small electric from the Germans arrives with a size of 4,053 mm long, 1,816 mm wide and 1,530 mm high. Measurements more than solvent for the city that, with a wheelbase of 2,600 mm, promise a lot of interior space. The point is that your starting battery to get below 25,000 euros is very short, barely 37 kWh net which will be combined with powers of 85 kW (116 HP) and 99 kW (135 HP). With that size, the car will be limited to the urban environment and the periphery. With a highway consumption of 20 kWh/100 km, these versions of the ID. Polo would not reach 200 kilometers of real autonomy. Above, a 155 kW (211 HP) version can be ordered and 52 kWh NCM battery which approves a maximum of 449 kilometers but anticipates a real road autonomy of 250 kilometers if consumption is 20 kWh/100 km on the road. Without proving it, going below that figure would be extraordinary news for those looking for a car with a minimum cost to their pocket on a day-to-day basis and who does not sacrifice the ability to go out on weekends without the trip taking forever. As long as, of course, the trip is less than 350 kilometers. Volkswagen promises fast charges from 10 to 80% of battery capacity in “approximately 24 minutes.” Inside, the car comes with a Digital Cockpit that is built on a 10-inch screen to serve as an instrument panel. The infotainment is mounted on a 13-inch central screen compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. This screen is accompanied by a lower button panel and touch controls on the steering wheel. A decision that is marked by the latest controversies caused for the jump to “everything touch” and that we have tried to correct here. At the moment, the car only arrives with its most powerful version and larger battery, but the brand announces that in summer we will see its most basic versions. These will already have an adaptive cruise function, LED headlights with automatic high-low beam activation and a multifunction steering wheel. In its higher versions, keyless opening and starting, rear view cameras with parking aids, inductive charging for the mobile phone or voice control of the infotainment system can be added. In the top-of-the-range versions, matrix headlights, IQ.LIGHT LED Matrix headlights, can be added, and as an option, a 480-watt Harman Kardon premium sound system with ten speakers, … Read more

If what we are looking for is a phone that takes up less space in our pocket, but that when opened behaves like a large cell phone, a foldable clamshell phone may be a good option. The idea is quickly understood, but other things such as specifications and, above all, how much it costs also matter. with the new razr 70, razr 70 Plus and razr 70 Ultrawhat we have seen is a family that aims precisely at that need: very similar on the outside, but much more separated when we start to look inside. The range is organized into three fairly clear steps. The Motorola razr 70 is the gateway, with the lowest price of the family and some visible concessions in external screen, processor and charging. The razr 70 Plus occupies the middle ground, already with a 4-inch external screen, a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 and a more balanced card. The razr 70 Ultra is reserved for those looking for the most ambitious: better processor, more memory, larger capacity battery, faster charging and a more complete camera system.

The company relies again on Pantone to give personality to each model, but it does not do it in the same way throughout the range. The razr 70 is the most varied in colors, with Hematite, Violet Ice, Sporting Green and Bright White. The Plus stays in a single Pantone Mountain View, while the Ultra looks for a more sophisticated point with Orient Blue in Alcantara and Cocoa with a wood finish. From left to right: Motorola razr 70, razr 70 Plus and razr 70 Ultra As we say, the separation that is easiest to see in everyday life begins on screens. The razr 70 has a 3.63-inch external screen that, according to the firm, is enough to run complete applications, check notifications or respond to messages without opening the phone. In the razr 70 Plus and the razr 70 Ultra the jump is in the outer 4 inches, with a refresh rate of up to 165 Hz. In addition, the external panel of the Plus reaches 2,400 nits of maximum brightness, while that of the Ultra goes up to 3,000 nits. The internal screen maintains a common base in all three models, but not all of them play the same. The Razr 70 opts for a 6.90-inch panel with 120 Hz, the Razr 70 Plus remains on that same diagonal but goes up to 165 Hz, and the Razr 70 Ultra takes a small leap up to 6.96 inches, also with 165 Hz. Beyond the size, the real difference is in the refresh rate: the higher the number, the greater the fluidity, something that is especially noticeable in games and when navigating the interface. Part of that difference is explained with LTPO. This type of panel allows you to vary the refresh rate in real time, reducing it when it is not necessary or increasing it when we are looking for maximum response. This, as you can imagine, has a direct impact on autonomy: by not always maintaining the highest rate, consumption is better adjusted to real use and the battery should stretch more on a day-to-day basis. In the case of the Razr 70 Ultra, in addition, the peak … Read more

Chinese mobile companies have set a goal for this beginning of 2026: get muscle. But wildly, too. If Vivo presented a few weeks ago the Vivo X300 Ultranow it is the turn of an Oppo that also has a new offspring with that same surname. Next, we go with all the features of an Oppo Find X9 Ultra which, like the Vivo, intends to turn the mobile photography segment upside down. Oppo Find X9 Ultra technical sheet oppo find x9 ultra SCREEN 6.82-inch AMOLED panel QHD+ resolution 144Hz frequency HBM brightness of 1,800 nits 3,600 nits peak PROCESSOR Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 RAM 12GB STORAGE 512GB FRONT CAMERA 50 megapixels REAR CAMERAS Main 200 megapixel f/1.5 200 megapixel f/2.2 3x telephoto 10x telephoto 50 megapixel f/3.5, shift sensor 50 megapixel f/2.0 wide angle BATTERY 7,050 mAh 100W charging 50W wireless charging OPERATING SYSTEM Android + ColorOS 16 Others IP69 certification PRICE 1,699 euros Hasselblad takes control Unlike the Vivo model, Oppo wanted to break with the rest of the X9 family if we talk about design. If he Oppo Find X9 Pro opted for a more discreet camera module than that of competing mobile phones, the X9 Ultra mounts a round and enormous module that, as we will see when we talk about cameras, has its reason for being. That glass circle is the main protagonist of a rear in which another proper name stands out: Hasselblad. They have been collaborating for a while, but putting the name of the camera brand on the same level as that of their own brand is a declaration of intent. The ‘Hasselblad orange’ is present both in the customization touches of the camera app and in the extra button that we find on the right side. On the front, things remain the same as seen in the Pro model. Same design, taking great advantage of the edges to create an all-screen experience, HBM brightness of 1,800 nits and a slightly larger panel than that of the Find X9 Pro, going from 6.78 inches to 6.82 inches with 144 Hz refresh rate instead of 120 Hz. Snapdragon to the latest and battery to match Inside, things also change. Of the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 that surprised us with its performance on the Find X9 Pro, we move on to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. It is the ‘almighty’ of Qualcomm and a processor that will star in the guts of the vast majority of premium mobile phones in 2026. It is accompanied by 12 GB of RAM, a curious change compared to the 16 GB of its ‘brother’, but which can be explained by the current component crisis we are in (and from which it will take us a while to get out). To feed the beast, the mobile has a silicon carbon battery 7,050 mAh with 100 W fast charging and 50 W wireless charging. Cameras, many Until now, one more premium range mobile. Where Oppo reflects all the ambition of this model is in the photographic section. As in the case of Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultrawe have four rear cameras, two of them focused on the telephoto for very different uses. main camera. It has a huge 1/1.12″ 200 megapixel sensor. The focal length is 23mm and the aperture is f/1.5. 3x Telephoto. Another large sensor (1/1.28″) that also has 200 megapixels for a focal length of 70 mm. It aims to be a spectacular portrait lens thanks to the focal length and aperture f/2.2, but it also has a focusing distance of only 15 centimeters to function as a macro. 10x telephoto. The sensor on this one is 50 megapixels and the size is 1/2.75″. The aperture is f/3.5 because it is much more designed for outdoors and something interesting is that it has stabilization in the sensor. wide angle. 50 megapixels with an f/2.0 aperture that is not usually conventional. The front camera It is 50 megapixels. Apart from the Hasselblad-type controls and color filters in collaboration with the brand, another extra of this model is the teleconverter. This is the second generation of Oppo (we already tested the first with the Oppo Find X9) and it goes from a focal length of 230 mm to 300 mm (a 13x, wow). Oppo points out that it offers up to 690 mm of optical quality (30x) thanks to the cutouts in the sensor and it is another of those points in which Chinese companies are looking to differentiate themselves. Also, another change is that the adapter for the teleconverter is easier to place, since on the X9 Pro it was a bit of gibberish that left the rest of the lenses useless. Oppo Find X9 Ultra price and availability Given the features, let’s move on to the price. The Oppo Find X9 Ultra will be available starting today, April 21, at a price of 1,699 euros. This time there is no “from” because there is only one RAM and storage configuration. Until April 29, however, it can be purchased with extras included in the price. On the one hand, a magnetic case.
