Although they already gave a small preview at MWC 2026, it was not until today that Nothing has decided to announce its new batch of smartphones: the Nothing Phone (4a) and Phone (4a) Pro. They are two mid-range terminals that, preserving the design language of the brand that we already know, evolve in materials, colors and specifications to try to differentiate themselves in their price range. The standard model can be reserved from today and its price starts at 349 euros, although it will not be launched until March 13. Reservations for the Pro model, meanwhile, will open on March 13 and the launch will occur at the end of the month, on March 27. The price will start at 479 euros. That said, and with the introductions already made, let’s get to know them a little better.

Their new terminals repeat the move seen in previous years, but it is clear that they are radically different from each other. In size, thickness and weight the difference is not that much, but in finishes they could not be more different. He Nothing Phone (4a) It retains the transparent design and a top camera module, now more centered. The back is made of glass and, in the upper right area, the Glyph Bar. This light bar consists of 63 mini-LEDs spread over seven zones and serves as a progress indicator, fill light on the camera or notification alert. Of course, the SDK is open so that developers can do their thing and squeeze even more into their apps. Nothing Phone (4a) Pro | Image: Nothing The Nothing Phone (4a) Pro is totally different. The company has opted for a daring metal unibody structure with flat surfaces and a thickness of 7.95 millimeters, making it the thinnest Nothing mobile to date. On the right side we have the Glyph Matrix, a system of 137 individually configurable mini-LEDs that reach a brightness of 3,000 nits. It has fewer LEDs than the Nothing Phone (3), which is still the company’s high-end, but it occupies a 57% larger area. When it comes to screens, the only difference is the size. The one on the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro is somewhat larger, but in general terms they are almost identical. They share AMOLED LTPS technologythe density of pixels per inch, almost almost the resolution, the touch sampling rate… Now, the Phone (4a) Pro has a slightly higher peak brightness and the refresh rate is 144 Hz instead of 120 Hz. A very similar engine Nothing Phone (4a) | Image: Nothing Both devices share chipset: the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 from Qualcomm. On paper, performance should be very similar on both. Now, there is a substantial difference and that is that the Nothing Phone (4a) mounts LPDDR4x RAM memorywhile his older brother rides LPDDR5x RAM memory. It is somewhat faster and, although on a day-to-day basis the difference should not be excessively noticeable, it should be appreciated in the long term. The internal storage is the same: 128 or 256 GB with UFS 3.1 technology. It is not the fastest or the latest available on the market, but it is more than enough for a terminal in this price range and for everyday use. Nothing Phone (4a) Pro | Image: Nothing As far as software is concerned, Android 16 with Nothing OS 4.1three-year warranty for major updates and six years for security patches. They also incorporate Nothing AI, the suite of artificial intelligence tools more focused on productivity than creativity. The big news, by the way, is support for the cloud, so now we can access what we save in Essential Space from any device. Before talking about the camera, it … Read more

It is about to be a year since Apple unexpectedly announced the iPad Air with M3 chip.

The screen is IPS, with a resolution of 2,360 x 1,640 pixels and 2,732 x 2,048 pixels, offering a density of 264 dots per inch in both cases. Once again, the screen is still 60Hz, the high frequency is still exclusive to the iPad Pro. If you look at the dimensions, there is a noticeable change between them, which translates to more than 150 grams of difference. What they do agree on is the thickness, with only 6.1 millimeters. The design also follows the same line, with those rounded corners in contrast to the straight edges and the matte aluminum back. Available colors are space gray, blue, purple and star white. Finally in this section, the cameras are both 12 megapixels. The front has the Center Stage function that keeps us focused during video calls. New brain The novelty of this generation, like the previous one, is that it integrates the most current chip, in this case the M4. According to Apple, the M4 is 2.3 times faster than the M1 and 60% faster graphics performance thanks to its 9-core GPU. The one in charge of processing tasks related to AI is the NPU (Neural Engine), which has 16 cores. Plus, the new iPad Air increase RAM memory from 8 to 12GBwhile storage remains the same, with four versions for each model. Regarding the battery, as is customary, Apple does not give the data in milliamps/hour, but they assure that both models offer 10 hours of WiFi browsing. Versions and prices of the iPad Air M4 The processor may be the most notable novelty, but there is another one that will be more than welcome by those who want to update their iPad and that is that the price has dropped. All 11-inch models are 50 euros cheaper than the iPad Air with M3 were, while the 13-inch models drop by 100 euros. It can be purchased starting next March 4.

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

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

In time for MWC 2026, Xiaomi has just presented its new flagship. In addition to the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, which also arrives here, in this article we focus on the base model. It should be remembered that both devices They are already on sale in China last September, so it is now that the European public can get their hands on these devices. Of course, at the moment, and it doesn’t seem like things will change, we are left without Pro models (the ones with the little screen on the back). Below these lines we tell you all the details.

The most notable thing in this aspect is the change in aesthetics in the camera frame, which now the sensors are exposed. There are also changes in its dimensions, as the company has chosen to reduce its size a bit to strengthen its compact character compared to the rest of the range. The device has a thickness of 8.06 mm and a weight of 191 grams, figures that make it a fairly contained terminal. The front uses reduced frames of 1.18 mm all around. On the back it incorporates high-resistance matte glass. The set is reinforced by what the brand calls Xiaomi Guardian structure, which includes Xiaomi Shield Glass and IP68 certification against dust and water. Brighter (and slightly smaller) screen The screen is a 6.3-inch OLED panel with Full HD+ resolution, offering a pixel density of 460 ppi. It is slightly smaller than that of the Xiaomi 15 (6.36 inches), although the change is practically negligible. It also has LTPO technologyallowing an adaptive refresh rate between 1 and 120 Hz. On the other hand, Xiaomi promises a peak brightness delivery of up to 3,500 nits. Additionally, it includes support for Dolby Vision and HDR10+. The screen also uses an M10 panel customized by Xiaomi which, according to the company, reduces energy consumption by 23% compared to the previous generation. Camera with Leica seal, and with hardly any hardware changes Xiaomi maintains its collaboration with Leica, although if we stick purely to the technical specifications, the changes are not so groundbreaking in hardware if we compare it with the Xiaomi 15pointing almost all the weight of its improvements to the software and image processing: main camera: 50 MP, f/1.67 aperture, OIS. 1/1.31-inch Light Fusion 950 sensor with 2.4 μm 4-in-1 Super Pixel and 13.5 EV dynamic range. 23mm equivalent focal length. Telephoto lens 60mm Leica floating: 50 MP, f/2.0 aperture, OIS. Samsung JN5 sensor. It allows macro photography at 10 cm and 5x level optical zoom, with an AI-powered zoom that goes up to 20x. wide angle: 50 MP, f/2.4 aperture, 102° field of view. OV50M sensor. 17mm equivalent focal length. Xiaomi and Leica promise a refinement in processing, rather than a big change in hardware. The Ultrawide sensor widens the real optical perspective, going from 115º to 102º, reducing lateral deformations and improving calibration. Where the most changes are noticeable is in the selfie camera, where the Xiaomi 17 debuts a 50 MP camera with f/2.2 aperture, improved autofocus at both long and short distances, and automatic framing. For video, the device records in 4K at 60 fps with Dolby Vision, supports Log up to 4K 60 fps and also supports 8K recording at 30 fps. We have the mechanical stabilizer (OIS) in the two main rear cameras. Top processor, as expected The Xiaomi 17 works with the platform Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 from Qualcomm, manufactured in the 3 nm process. In this way, and as expected, the device includes Qualcomm’s top processor to date. It is an eight-core chip with two Oryon V3 cores at 4.6 GHz, and another six efficiency cores at 3.62 GHz. It is accompanied by the Adreno 840 as a GPU, and the new generation Hexagon NPU for processes that require AI. The device will arrive in two configurations, both with 12 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and then a choice between 256 GB or 512 GB of UFS 4.1 internal storage. In Europe it seems that we are running out of versions with 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB, which are sold in China. Presumably the RAM crisis have something to do with it.

A couple of years ago Xiaomi launched the Xiaomi Watch 2one of its first forays into watches with Wear OS. We liked it a lot and the truth is that for 200 euros it was a highly recommended device. Today. Within the framework of MWC 2026, the Chinese firm has announced its successor, the Xiaomi Watch 5a device that draws on the best watches we have seen to date and takes the leap to be more powerful, more premium and, following the strategy of premiumization of the company, also more expensive. And it is that he Xiaomi Watch 5 It costs 299.99 euros, but in exchange it offers one of the largest batteries we have seen in its segment thanks to carbon silicon, the most updated version of Wear OS and a fairly complete set of functions. With the introductions made, let’s get to know him better.

This one, in fact, is not much bigger than the previous model. It is more or less the same, with slight differences in thickness, but there is one detail that makes the difference: the frames. The Chinese firm has managed to reduce them to just 2.6 millimeters, which has allowed it to increase the diameter of the screen without the device growing in size. Minipoint for the company, which now mounts a 1.54-inch panel with 480 x 480 pixel resolution. However, the most appreciated thing will not be the size, but the maximum brightness, which is more than double that of the Xiaomi Watch 2: from 600 nits to 1,500 nits from HBM. Xiaomi Watch 5 | Image: Xataka Notable changes also in the engine, which now, following the trail marked by OnePlus, OPPO and Mobvoihas a dual processor architecture. The heavyweight is still the Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 and it is the one that will be in charge of the most intensive processes. A low-power BES2800 chip will take care of the rest of the light tasks and stand-by functions. It’s a smart strategy that, historically, has worked very well. But the key to everything, what surely makes the difference, is the silicon-carbon battery. We have already seen this technology on mobile phones and some watches like the Huawei Watch GT 6 Proand the result is outstanding. Where before there was 495 mAh, now Xiaomi has managed to put a battery of 930mAh with which it promises up to six days of autonomy in smart mode, 18 if we use low consumption mode. It is, by far, one of the highest figures on the market, at least for now. Xiaomi Watch 5 | Image: Xataka The operating system is Wear OS 6 and, therefore, it has Google Gemini, Google Wallet and access to the Google Play Store aka Spotify apps, Google Maps, Youtube Music, etc. On the other hand, the notable sensors are the PPG, the IMU and the EMG. These last two sensors are used to detect special actions on the hands and wrists, such as pinching, rubbing two fingers, snapping, etc., so we can do things like reject calls or control the camera by making basic gestures.

Samsung Galaxy S26 and S26+, features, price, technical sheet

As expected today, Samsung has revealed its flagships for 2026 through its Galaxy Unpacked. In it, in addition to the portentous Galaxy S26 Ultrawe have also learned all the information about the S26 and S26+, which are the terminals we will focus on in this article. Below these lines we tell you all the details. Samsung Galaxy S26 and S26+, technical sheet Galaxy S26 Galaxy S26+ SCREEN 6.3-inch 2X AMOLED panel FullHD+ resolution Refresh from 1 to 120 Hz 6.7-inch 2X AMOLED panel QHD+ resolution Refresh from 1 to 120 Hz DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT 149.6 x 71.7 x 7.2mm 167 grams 158.4 x 75.8 x 7.3mm 190 grams PROCESSOR Exynos 2600 Exynos 2600 RAM 12GB 12GB STORAGE 256GB 512GB 256GB 512GB FRONT CAMERA 12 Mpx f/2.2 12 Mpx f/2.2 REAR CAMERAS Main 50 Mpx f/1.8, OIS 10 Mpx f/2.4 3x telephoto lens 12 Mpx f/2.2 wide angle Main 50 Mpx f/1.8, OIS 10 Mpx f/2.4 3x telephoto lens 12 Mpx f/2.2 wide angle BATTERY 4,300 mAh 25W charging Wireless charging Reverse wireless charging 4,900 mAh 45W charging Wireless charging Reverse wireless charging OPERATING SYSTEM Android 16 One UI 8.5 Android 16 One UI 8.5 CONNECTIVITY 5G Wi-Fi 7 Bluetooth 5.4 5G Wi-Fi 7 Bluetooth 6.0 OTHERS IP68 certification IP68 certification PRICE From 999 euros From 1,249 euros Conservative design As was the case in past generations, the two most affordable models in the family, the S26 and the S26+, share most of their specifications and are committed to a measured evolution in design to focus their efforts, above all, on performance and artificial intelligence. If you already knew the Galaxy S25the S26 will be visually very familiar. Perhaps the most obvious change in this sense is seen in the camera panel, which this time protrudes from the rear surface of the phone. However, in general terms, the device follows the same trend line that Samsung has applied to its devices in recent generations. As indicated in the technical sheet, the S26 maintains a compact body of 149.6 x 71.7 x 7.2 mm with a weight of 167 grams, while the S26+ grows to 158.4 x 75.8 x 7.3 mm and 190 grams. Both are built with Gorilla glass on both the front (Armor 2) as in the rear (Victory 2), and with certification IP68 which guarantees resistance to dust and water up to 1.5 meters deep for 30 minutes. Screen without surprises As for the screen, the S26 equips a panel LTPO AMOLED 6.3 inches with Full HD+ resolution and adaptive refresh rate of up to 120 Hz. That is, identical panel to the last generation. The S26+, for its part, has a 6.7-inch screen with QHD+ resolution and the same LTPO technology, also without surprises. Both panels reach a maximum brightness of 2,600 nits, and have HDR10+ compatibility. Samsung returns to the Exynos in Europe Here comes one of the most relevant points of this generation. Depending on the market, the Galaxy S26 and S26+ will have one or another processor under the hood, something they used to do until not long ago (the S24 already had this same two-chip strategy for different markets). In most international markets the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5that is, Qualcomm’s top processor to date, while here in Europe (and it is known that also for India and the Middle East), Samsung will bet on its own chiphe Exynos 2600. We already know the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 from other phones, but this time it is optimized specifically for the Galaxy and integrates an eight-core CPU with two high-performance cores at 4.74 GHz and six efficiency cores at 3.62 GHz, accompanied by the Adreno 840 GPU. The Exynos 2600, for its part, uses a ten-core architecture with frequencies of up to 3.80 GHz and the Xclipse 960 GPU. We will have to wait to test it in depth in our analysis to draw conclusions. Both terminals arrive with 12 GB of RAM (the thing is not right now for more) and internal storage options of 256 GB or 512 GB. Cameras: unchanged hardware, but now with AI The rear camera system is identical on the S26 and S26+. Both have: A 50 MP main sensor (f/1.8, 24 mm equivalent focal length, 1/1.56″ sensor, dual-pixel PDAF and OIS). A 10 MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom (f/2.4, 67 mm, OIS). A 12 MP wide-angle camera with a 120-degree viewing angle (f/2.2, 13 mm, Super Steady video). Front camera with 12 MP sensor (f/2.2, 26 mm, dual pixel PDAF). In video, the terminals are capable of recording up to 8K at 24 or 30 frames per second, 4K at 30/60 fps and Full HD at up to 240 fps. All with support for 10-bit HDR and HDR10+. The great novelty in photography is not so much in the hardware, which remains practically the same as the previous generationbut in how artificial intelligence intervenes in the process. And Samsung’s new camera application will integrate conversational AI, so that the user will be able to ask the assistant to configure the framing, the shooting mode or even edit the photos using voice or text commands. Something similar to what Google introduced with the Pixel 10. In addition to this, there is the EdgeFusion function, which allows you to generate images with AI practically instantly and completely locally, without the need for an internet connection. AI takes over software even more As expected, the Galaxy S26 and S26+ arrive with Android 16 pre-installed and customization layer One UI 8.5. In addition to touches on visuals and usability, it is worth noting that Samsung has continued further expanding its focus on AImaking their devices the most complete in this area. In case you had forgotten, Bixby is still valid on these phones as a central assistant. Samsung promises deeper integration into native apps and greater understanding of natural language. The most striking novelty in this section is ‘Now Nudge’: the system detect the context of what … Read more

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

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

the technical imbalance that is silently killing Spanish reservoirs

In a window of just 72 hours, Spain’s water reserve has experienced unprecedented growth. The data has gone from 693 cubic hectometers in one day, shooting up to 2,349 hm³ in just three days. However, behind this photograph of abundance and a blue-tinted map of Spain, Greenpeace has warned that we are facing an optical illusion. What we see shining in the sun is water, yes, but what accumulates at the bottom, invisible and silent, is mud. And there are more and more. The denunciation of silent death. The environmental organization Greenpeace has issued an alert: The useful life of Spanish reservoirs is running out. This is not an imminent risk of the concrete walls collapsing – the dams are sound from a civil engineering point of view – but rather what they call a “dramatic loss of operational efficiency.” The underlying problem is the calendar. The bulk of our hydraulic infrastructure was built during the dictatorship (1950-1975). This means, according to the data managed by the organization, that “a large part of the dams is now crossing the threshold of their theoretical project useful life”, estimated between 50 and 75 years. The concrete holds, but the steel mechanisms, such as valves and drains, suffer the passage of time. The physics of “solid avenues.” To understand why reservoirs are losing capacity, we must look at the violence of recent rains. As explained by the organizationthe new explosive storms fall on highly eroded basins. The water carries tons of earth, stones and debris into the reservoir. Older infrastructures lack the agility to manage this mix. The technical data is alarming. According to reports from the Ministry for the Ecological Transition (MITECO) and the CEDEX (Center for Studies and Experimentation of Public Works), the Ebro River has radically changed his behavior. Before the dams, the river transported 5.16 million tons of sediment per year to the Delta. Today, trapped by concrete walls, it only allows 0.37 million tons to pass through. The rest remains trapped, reducing the useful space for water. Chronicle of an ignored obsolescence. This is not an unforeseen accident; It is the result of managing the climate of the 21st century with tools from the mid-20th century. Greenpeace insists the dams operate under “climatic pressure for which they were not designed.” In the province of León, iconic reservoirs such as Villameca (inaugurated in 1946) or Barrios de Luna (1956) were designed under stable climatic parameters that have little to do with with the current extreme variability. Experts have been warning for years: geologists from the University of Barcelona They already warned in 2018 that the uncertainty about the real amount of sediment is high, because monitoring the bottom of all the swamps is complex and expensive. When the mud becomes a threat. This accumulation of materials is not just a capacity issue; It is a physical security risk that is already showing its most dangerous side in the south. While we celebrate the rain, a silent battle is being waged in Huelva against toxic sludge. Just a few days ago, the Military Emergency Unit (UME) has had to be deployed in “anticipation” in the mining ponds of the province. There, torrential rains—which have tripled forecasts in some areas—have saturated the terrain to the limit. The risk is no longer just that the reservoir will lose site, but also the liquefaction of the sludge: that the pressure of the water converts the solid waste into an uncontrollable tide. It is the most graphic reminder that our infrastructures, whether water dams or waste ponds, are suffering stress for which they are hardly prepared. From the dredge to the forest. If the reservoirs are full of mud, logic would dictate removing it; but the economic reality makes it unviable. CEDEX technical notes cited in the context of the Greenpeace complaint show that the cost of extracting The sediment “far outweighs the cost of preventing it.” Cleaning a small reservoir of just 10 hm³ could cost between 50 and 150 million euros. If the sludge needs pretreatment before going to the landfill, the price skyrockets. For its part, the MITECO has started “pilot tests” to mobilize sediments in the Mequinenza-Ribarroja section, with a budget of 1.2 million euros, but they are surgical interventions in a systemic problem. For Greenpeace, the solution is not in concrete, but in the mountains. “The solution does not end at the dam or reservoir, it begins in its surroundings,” they say. The organization demands an urgent hydrological-forest restoration, where a healthy riverbed and a basin full of trees act as a “sponge.” The roots retain the soil and prevent the mountain from falling apart when it rains heavily and ending up at the bottom of the swamp. The risk of illusory guarantee. The EU Nature Restoration Regulation, approved in 2024, obliges Spain to present a National Plan by August 2026. It is the last opportunity to change the strategy. Julio Barea, head of water at Greenpeace, issues a final warning that should resonate beyond the current rain: “The technical obsolescence of our reservoirs will make us increasingly vulnerable to the next great water crisis.” If the bottom drains are not modernized (so that the mud can leave) and the headwaters of the rivers are not reforested (so that the mud does not reach), the “water guarantee” will be a statistical fantasy.

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.

Design (313 HP): 510 kilometers of autonomy, 14.6 kWh/100 km Excellence (449 HP): 470 kilometers of autonomy, 15.9 kWh/100km price and release Now available: Design: from 42,990 euros before aid and discounts Excellence: from 45,990 euros before aid and discounts Prices for the Canary Islands: Design: from 35,520 euros before aid and discounts Excellence: from 38,008 euros before aid and discounts More autonomy at a low price To explain why this car comes to the market, we are going to tell something obvious: BYD is a Chinese brand. 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
