Telefónica has awarded Nokia the last part of its 5G core, completing the elimination of Huawei from critical Spanish networks, according to advances Expansion. Why is it important. This move culminates the unofficial banishment of the Chinese giant from critical telecommunications infrastructure in Spain. An explicit government veto has not even been necessary. The context. In 2019, Telefónica had chosen Huawei for its 5G corea decision that was surprising at the time, but international pressures, with the United States at the helm, have been forcing an immediate change of course. The operator announced shortly after a strategy multicore which, in practice, has meant the beginning of the end for Huawei in its Spanish critical infrastructures. The estimated value of the new contract with Nokia is 15 million euros for six years. Huawei’s current presence in the 5G cores of the three large Spanish operators has been reduced to 0%. In Xataka Pallete’s impossible equation: he reduced Telefónica’s debt by half… while its stock market value plummeted behind the scenes. The replacement strategy requires caution and precision, following a meticulous schedule by phases and regions, in order to avoid any interruption of service to users while the transition is completed. The entire process will take more than a year given its difficulty: this movement involves modifying critical infrastructure. The current situation. The three large Spanish operators have expelled Huawei from their network cores: Telefónica divides it between Nokia and Ericsson. Orange awarded it to Ericsson. Vodafone chose Nokia. The money trail. Huawei’s exit from the Spanish market has been accelerated not only by corporate decisions but also by public policies. Although it maintains an important presence in the radio networks of some operators – such as 70% in Vodafone-, his exclusion of public aid for rural 5G through an indirect veto has been decisive. This Government strategy, which requires avoiding “high-risk suppliers” to access public funds, led Huawei to file a lawsuit before the National Court. {“videoId”:”x88i2zx”,”autoplay”:false,”title”:”Telefónica Smart Buildings”, “tag”:”telefónica”, “duration”:”41″} Go deeper. The 5G network core is the brain that manages all connections and user data, turning it into critical infrastructure for national security. This has ended up becoming a case study on how geopolitics also changes the technological map of a country without the need for direct prohibitions. It is enough to press the appropriate buttons.

Just yesterday the British manufacturer returned to the fray with the Pokémon which will be linked to some of the mobile phones that it plans to launch this year. There are several possibilities and everything seems to indicate that they would be the Phone (3) and the (3a), and if anything has to modify or change Nothing is the back, precisely what seems to be drawn in some sketches that the British company has shared. If there is a manufacturer that likes to play with mystery with its imminent launches, this would be Nothing, and since it began its journey as a new mobile manufacturer, started posting images of insects to give clues about your next Phone (2) or the same Phone (2a) from last year. In that game he now finds himself publishing five images from his Instagram account in which you can see a series of sketches that draw part of the design concepts of some of the mobiles which he plans to launch this year. They can look like pieces of a puzzle or simply loose concepts that throw ideas about the change that must occur on the back of your mobile. And it is precisely that he received a lot of criticism with the Nothing Phone (2) when it was launched, since the back was very similar to Phone (1). These criticisms led me to play with another “Glyph” in the design of the next Telephone (2a) that he launched last year in Spain, so it is possible that those sketches made with erratic linesbut that draw shapes, be they part of the back of the next Phone (3) or (3a). Nothing’s sketches nothing The Free Android Of them there is an image that does not fit into the rest or in some way it cannot be related, and that is that they look like two boxes with an oval shadow that do not make it clear what they are referring to; which could be part of the rear with which it can move away from the design of previous mobile phones and thus powerfully draw attention again as it has done with many of its technological products. Be that as it may, mystery once again surrounds a Nothing Phone (3) mobile that was anticipated by Carl Pei himself at the beginning of the year in an email that he sent to his employees to make it clear that this year his commitment is going to be greater. In fact, he announced that Nothing was looking for capital to invest in the technology necessary to bring generative artificial intelligence to its new premium; and even more so when this time it wants to elevate the mobile phone category to catch up with those from Samsung, Apple and others. All five images are available from your account at instagram.
Xiaomi has just brought to Spain one of the products that sells the most in China. It costs only 12.99 eurosit is portable, small and has only one truly useful function. And, although the company has not reinvented the wheel with this device, it has improved to make it worth buying. What is it? His name is Xiaomi Lint Removerwhich in Spanish is nothing other than a lint remover for the blunt and the fabrics. This gadget It has been in bazaars and stores like AliExpress for years at ridiculous prices, but no one seems to have cared enough to make its purchase worthwhile. Xiaomi has given the system a twist, integrating traditional dynamics into a most sophisticated device which, now, offers a decent experience. How can you revolutionize a lint remover for clothes? Well, Xiaomi has put its engineers to work to solve the main problem of this product: that the lint does not enter the mouth of the device properly and is not cut correctly. The Chinese firm’s solution has been to include a small suction pump. In this way, the device is capable of attracting and introducing much more lint into its nozzlemaking it more efficient and a more complete product. Then, complement the set with some quality blades and a grid specially designed for this purpose. Xiaomi once again improves something that you have known for years As we say, Xiaomi has not invented anything with this product, but it has improved it so that it is more user-friendly and has decent results. This lint remover does not have Bluetooth or WiFi to control it from your mobile, but it does several technologies designed to considerably improve the competition. Xiaomi assures that works with almost any type of fabricwith dress clothes, sheets, knitted sweaters or light and dark clothing. Your goal is eliminate those balls of lint that the fabric itself creates and that accumulates on the neck, cuffs or chest. All with the quality that Xiaomi usually offers and a unparalleled quality/price ratio. The brand ensures that it can be easily disassembled for cleaning, which its mechanism does not clog and that its battery can clean more than 15 clothes in a row. And, of course, it puts a lot of emphasis on security. Its grille is specially designed with holes for 0.35 millimeters which, according to Xiaomi, prevent snags and that no garment is torn or damaged. The best of all? It costs only 12.99 euros and you can now buy it in Spain from Xiaomi website. This price, added to the success of the product in countries like China, the easy operation and all the improvements it includes compared to the competition, undoubtedly make this device a must-buy.
Few devices have embraced the era of “smart devices” as much as mobile phonesbut there is one who, almost without realizing it, has adopted this strategy so much that In Spain it is difficult to buy one that is not: televisions. Until recently we could find models that did not have a system with apps, but currently it is somewhat complicated. It is even easier to buy a dumb phone, as those that do not have the ability to run apps are called, than a dumb TV. And it is not that there is no demand, since many users prefer to put their own devices to provide them with intelligence, such as Google TV Streamer. The main television brands in Spain are Samsung and LG, at least in the high range, but there are many others that are fighting to gain a foothold, not only in that category, but also in the entry range. There you sign as Xiaomi either TCL They lead the way. In part its sales pitch is not the hardware, but the software. Google TV for everyone These two Chinese brands also make mobile devices, and have taken a similar approach: use Android on your televisions. It is something that neither LG did when it was still in the smartphone market nor does Samsung do currently, despite the fact that it is the largest manufacturer of Android smartphones in the world. The reason why Xiaomi, TCL and other brands opt for Google TV is simple, but at the same time multiple: it is an option that attracts users, but does not involve the development or maintenance of your own operating systemwith what this entails in terms of resources and operating expenses. Although there are more options, such as WebOS or Tizen, Google TV (formerly Android TV) has positioned itself as the best option not only for manufacturers, but for many users who value what it gives them. And we are not only talking about integration with the smartphones they use, but also about functions and possibilities that they do not have in other models with other systems. Advantages of Google TV Many brands available. As with mobile phones, choosing Android as the operating system allows you to choose between more brands. Firms such as Xiaomi and TLC, but also industry giants such as Sony or Phillips opt for the Google system. The range of sizes, models, prices and brands is the largest when compared to other operating systems. Notifications for Android TV The Free Android Good voice control system. Typing on a television is complicated and tiring. Being able to dictate things is much more comfortable. Google TV is not the only system that allows it, but it does have very advanced voice recognition, in part because Google has been working on it for years. Google Assistant. And this function also enables integration with the Google Assistant, making the TV become a speaker if we want, because we can send content, ask questions, change channels… Integration with Google Home. The integration with Android of Google TV is obvious, but also with Google Home. The home automation application allows you to create routines using the television, use the phone as a remote control, etc. We’ll even look at how compatible headphones pair automatically to the TV. Button remapping. Remote control buttons rarely provide the shortcuts we all need. Thanks to applications like Button Mapper It is possible to change the behavior of buttons that we never use. Open applications, take screenshots, turn off the TV, change settings… everything is possible with this free application. Remote control Unsplash The Free Android All types of applications. Thanks to the fact that it uses Android, there are many developers who create applications for televisions, from casual or more advanced games to file management tools, video playback with all types of codecs, etc. Extreme customization. One particular type of apps are desktop replacements. These apps allow us to change the way the TV is shown to us, eliminating ads, sections that we do not use… If we want, we can make only the installed apps appear, to open them directly with the remote control. External storage management. And the memory possibilities skyrocket if we use external hard drives and want to play content. Android allows you to run all types of videos, either with pre-installed apps or with those you download from the Google Play Store. In addition, they usually have reading capacity not only for USB flash drives, but also for large capacity disks, in case we have our digital movie library stored there. bluetooth controls. Although television processors are not designed for games, some simple titles can be easily run on them, and having synchronized Bluetooth controls is an advantage. The number of options available is enormous. Especially if we use them with cloud streaming services. A person playing on TV Chromecast built-in. Of course, we could not ignore the fact that the televisions integrate a Chromecast system, which allows you to send content from a mobile phone on the same WiFi network. This makes it much more convenient to send a song from Spotify, a video from YouTube, etc. To these reasons we must add others such as the convenience that many users have in using a system that they already know because it is the same one they have on their tablet or mobile phone, knowing the applications because, again, they are the same ones that they already used. , etc. Of course, this does not mean that there are no disadvantages when compared to other systems, but the benefits outweigh the latter.
During yesterday afternoon we talked at length about the Samsung Galaxy S25. We tell you What did we think of our first impressions?how their cameras are goodthe craziest accessories that has launched the brand and also about a very important technology of which Samsung has completely forgotten. And, now that all the technical information is on the table, it’s time to talk about decisions, purchases, versions and colors. Samsung has not only renewed the design and cameras of its mobile phones, it has also given a twist to the color palette available in Spain. And, as it has been doing for a couple of generations, the company has launched four colors for the general market and three others that can only be buy exclusively in the Samsung.com online store. In the base series, which makes up the Galaxy S25 and S25+, Samsung has removed three colors from last year: yellow, orange and violet. In addition, it has redefined several tones such as gray or blues to make them slightly different. In the most advanced model, the Galaxy S25 Ultrapractically the same thing happens except for a couple of tones. The colors of the Samsung Galaxy S25 From this moment on, the Samsung Galaxy S25 can be book on the company’s website with deliveries starting February 4so we have taken a tour of the store to see all the official colors in which you will be able to choose your next mobile.

The phones go on sale on February 7, but users who have pre-purchased them will receive them starting on the 4th. Plus, not only will you receive it a little earlier, there are also various promotions on almost every version. Samsung, for example, has put the 512 GB Galaxy S25 Ultra at the same price as the 256 GB one, and the same with the 1 TB version. In fact, it is a strategy that has also been repeated with the Galaxy S25 and S25+.
Have Google TV at home, either through the Smart TV itself or a dongle like the new Chromecastallows you to fully access the playback of multimedia content or access the most popular streaming platforms. Google now also wants it to become the user information node with an experience based on the use of generative artificial intelligence. It is already happening in the new Samsung Galaxy S25 that include an assistant on the lock screen to assist the user according to the context of using their mobile or simply give a daily summary of the topics that may interest you the most, such as the news of the day. Access to information is more flexible and what the technology giant wants is for the user to have it available on the devices or accessories they use the most, and one of them is the Smart TV you have in the living room. After making a previous announcement of the new “News Briefs” feature at CES in Las Vegas earlier this year, the technology giant has now announced that it will begin rolling out an experimental feature that is powered by generative artificial intelligence of Gemini. The deployment of its AI seems to have no end and can even be enjoyed through a widget on Google Home to give text summaries of the situation of connected smart devices in the user’s smart home. Google TV 9to5Google The Free Android “News Briefs” It is a feature designed to collect all the new news that arises throughout the day, and with the help of Gemini, its AI, Google TV will be in charge of making a summary of each of them as well as playing videos from them. sources that are related to the context of the news. The video content offered by Google TV through this new function will be extracted mainly from YouTube. The technology giant has given several details about this new feature in the support page: “Using Gemini’s artificial intelligence models and human evaluation, News Briefs presents summaries of the most important news and plays those videos from trusted news sources so that the user has all the information at hand available.” Manuel Ramirez The Free Android The availability of News Brief at the moment it will not be general and Google’s idea is to deploy it to some Google TV users first in their country this week. This new AI-powered news experience will appear on the For You page of Google TV.
All the aid that the Government hoped to approve with the Omnibus Decree that had to pass the filter of the Council of Deputies has fallen. With 177 votes against added by the Popular Party, Junts and Vox, the Government was not enough the 171 votes in favor that he obtained to carry out his varied package of measures. Among the measures that this Omnibus Decree was found pension increase but also aid for public transport and, consequently, free or reduced transport passes and multi-trip tickets that can no longer be purchased. Only those that were purchased before January 23, 2025 or those of a regional nature whose town councils or autonomous communities maintain. And among those measures was also the extension of the MOVES III Planaid for the purchase of an electric vehicle, and the discount of up to 3,000 euros in the income tax return that can be deducted for the purchase of a car with these characteristics. The fall of some key aid The extension of the MOVES III Plan and the aid itself for the purchase of electric cars has been a huge headache for the Government in the last year. In February 2024Pedro Sánchez, President of the Government, assured in a Forum organized by ANFAC that they would review the MOVES III Plan “in the coming weeks.” Shortly after, Héctor Gómez, Minister of Industry, Commerce and Tourism, assured that they were “aware that the MOVES Plan has its strengths and weaknesses. From a temporal point of view, making the aid more flexible so that charged when the vehicle is purchased “It is a step that we are going to take, that is the commitment.” All MOVES III PLAN aid that is no longer active However, months later the situation had not changed. On the first day since the deadline to buy an electric car with aid expires (July 1, 2024), The Government extended this subsidy again, maintaining the same conditions. Until December 31, 2024, it was possible to buy an electric car with aid that starts at 4,500 euros and that in the best of cases reaches 7,000 euros in discounts if a vehicle that is more than seven years old is scrapped. Months later, as in trapped in timetwo weeks before the end of 2024 and, with it, the MOVES III Plan and its aid, we found ourselves in the same situation again: not knowing what would happen to the program. Just a few days later, on December 26, the Government confirmed that we would have Plan MOVES III until June 30, 2025 but that, again, the conditions were exactly the same. Now, with just over 20 days of the year 2025 already gone, anyone who has not had their request to receive purchase aid under the umbrella of the MOVES III Plan You may find yourself with the unpleasant news that you probably won’t receive it. Without support for the Omnibus Decree in which this extension that was already active was contemplated, everything remains up in the air. We do not know if, if a specific measure is approved in Congress (as the Popular Party has requested for an increase in pensions or transport aid), the delivery of aid will be retroactive to all those who formalized the request before its fall. but they did not have approval from the institutions. The news is terrible for the electric car in Spain. The first months of the year always They tend to be a little weaker in salesthe market accepting the last registrations from the previous year, and the electric car is growing but at a very slow pace. In 2024 it grew by 4.21% but its market share remains at 5.36% which represents a technical tie with the figure for 2023 (5.56%). When talking about the reasons for this stagnation, the MOVES III Plan continues to be pointed out as one of the big problems. In some cases The wait to receive aid has been up to three years and in July 2024 we learned that they had been granted aid worth 250 million euros for which there was no money because the fund had already been exhausted. The news coming from neighboring countries is not too optimistic either. In Germany, the largest electric car market in Europe, it has fallen by 27.4% according to ACEA data in his first year without aid for the purchase of electric cars. In Portugal, where purchase aid is direct when purchasing a car, the electric market share is close to 20%. To alleviate this situation and encourage buyers, it has been the manufacturers themselves who are providing a type of purchase aid to the new owners. To encourage sales, they show the car with 7,000 euros discount that, in reality, It is an interest-free loan. to be returned a few months later when (it is hoped) the new buyer has received the aid. The electric car market is having a hard time taking off in Spain. The lack of purchase aid means new stones on a very unpaved road. It remains to be seen what measures the Government takes, if it manages to carry out a new extension of a plan that requires direct aid for purchases or if, on the contrary, we are facing months of absence of government support. What we do know is that in Germany manufacturers trusted in a return to aid and They launched generous discounts in the first months after their subsidies fell. And, despite everything, it hasn’t worked. Photo | renault In Xataka | Norway and China have confirmed that the electric car can lead sales. With (a lot of) help, of course
Last week the first rendered images of the thinnest flagship mobile from Samsung, the Galaxy S25 Slim. A smartphone that is part of the Galaxy S25 family that will be announced by the Korean company in two days. Now the entire list of countries in which Samsung wants to distribute its new flagship has been leaked. Right in the promotional image of Galaxy Unpacked a fourth device appeared from the family to everyone’s surprise, although for months it had been leaked that Samsung was working on the launch of a slim mobile phone that could compete against Apple’s own, the iPhone 17 Air. Interest in this type of device is increasing because they are capable of offering part of the performance of the best models, but with a very special detail the design: a thinner thickness than what you are used to. This bet seems definitive on the part of Samsung as well as Apple; folding mobile phones too They are using this very special point to attract users already tired of typical smartphones. What Samsung has done with the Galaxy S25 is move its launch window to the month of May to start selling it in a large number of countries. Just 39 as has been known a few hours ago since Phone Arenawhich has also shared all those countries in which Spain does not appear anywhere. The outlet’s exclusive report cites a source with a long history of leaks, and claims that the Samsung’s thinnest flagship phone It will be available in 39 countries. Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim SmartPrix The Free Android There is an important detail, and although Spain does not appear on the list, the source claims that the list it would not be completely completebut it does suggest that it is approaching finality with all the countries that would receive the Galaxy S25 Slim. This is the complete list of countries in which the new Korean flagship mobile can be purchased: Afghanistan Iraq Nigeria Singapore United Kingdom Australia Ireland Pakistan Slovenia Uzbekistan Austria Israel Philippines South Africa Vietnam Brazil Kazakhstan Poland Sri Lanka Caucasus Kenya Portugal Swiss Croatia Libya Russia Thailand Egypt Malaysia Saudi Arabia Tunisia France Mexico Senegal Türkiye India Morocco Serbia/Montenegro UAE Android Headlines The Free Android Apart from Spain Nor does the United States appear as one of the clearest absences, and according to what Evan Blass, another renowned leaker, claims, something similar to the case of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Editionwhich was available, although not by operators. The Galaxy S25 Slim, according to several leakswill stand out for its chip Snapdragon 8 Elitea 6.6-inch FullHD AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 120 Hz and a 200 Mpx main camera accompanied by a 3x telephoto lens and an ultra wide angle to make a great mobile, although we will have to wait for its autonomy as it is so thin, since it will not have the same battery that other models such as the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra itself usually enjoy.
In the presentation of the three new Samsung phones The technology giant was the common denominator of many of the Galaxy Unpacked moments. Gemini is going to maintain a good part of the artificial intelligence functions of Korean mobile phones, just as it is going to do in the Pixel 9 with a wide variety of new features that Google just promoted. These new experiences based on generative artificial intelligence aim to convert The Pixel 9 in more “AI” mobiles and thus continue ‘fighting’ against OpenAI in a fight between the two that seems to have no end. The prominence of Gemini in the new Galaxy S25 is another example of the crucial moment that Google is going through before the OpenAI steamroller with its ChatGPT. In an advertisement on store.google.com you can read “The new functions of Gemini Live and Rodea to search on Pixel 9 mobiles”, and they will encourage users of Google smartphones play in the same league that the next owners of the new Galaxy S25; Just the opposite of last year with the premiere of Rodea para Busca, which was exclusively for the Galaxy S24 for a few weeks. The first new feature is the power ability send content to Gemini to ask any questions, or have a chat to give more context to a video on YouTube or any type of documents as well as images. Best of all, it can be done with the natural conversation offered by Google’s AI, so the interaction can be more enriching than doing it through text: Images– Add an image to the conversation and Gemini Live will offer detailed information and suggestions and can help resolve problems in real time. Files– You can share documents and have a discussion about them to extract important information or key points. Videos: A conversation with Gemini about a YouTube video with all kinds of details. Gemini Live when querying you about a video on YouTube Google The Free Android The Gemini interface has been redesigned conveniently to add a button to include that type of content as a photo from the gallery or take a new one; similar to what Google Lens can offer. There are more important functions in this sense, such as the possibility of being able to ask about what is seen on the screen when taking a screenshot, taking another one on a PDF from the Google Files app and the same, but with the YouTube app. Gemini is going to be that omnipresent assistant to demand its appearance at all times in a very simple way. And once the content is uploaded, a button will appear where you can read it. “Talk to Live about this” on the same interface, so that when you press it, the AI assistant appears with the attached content appearing in the center of the screen and the two pause and cancel buttons just below in the familiar Gemini Live interface. This great novelty is deployed today at Pixel 9 series, as in the Galaxy S24 and S25although in EL ESPAÑOL – El Androide Libre the Gemini update has not appeared in the Google Play Store. For the rest of the Pixel it will arrive with a ‘soon’. Gemini already does several things at the same time Next up will be the new ability Project Astra screen sharing and video streaming capabilities on Gemini. The technology giant had its moment to share what the interface is like today and will be available in the following months through the Gemini app on the Pixel and S25. Another novelty for the Pixel is the deployment that is being carried out today with Deep Research to Gemini Advanced subscribers in the mobile version after introducing it last month in the web client. All compatible Pixel phones will receive it in the following days. Sending a message in Google Messages with Gemini Google The Free Android A very productive day for Google from your website and from now on you can ask Gemini to use multiple extensions at once from a single prompt and the new capabilities of Rodea to search, which are both summarized in this way: You can now ask Gemini to do several things at the same time in different apps: from finding entertainment venues on Google Maps and sending them to a friend via Google Messages.
