The new Casio Edifice Sospensione ECB‑2300HR‑1A, developed in collaboration with Casio and Honda, has officially gone on sale in the United States after its launch was delayed in 2025. The watch celebrates the 60th anniversary of Honda’s first Formula 1 victory and is priced at $400.

Casio-Edifice-ECB-2300HR-1A-Honda-F1-Special-Edition

The model commemorates Honda’s historic win at the 1965 Mexican Grand Prix, where the Honda RA272 secured the company’s first Formula 1 victory on October 24, 1965. It marked the first F1 win for a Japanese car manufacturer. Honda designed both the engine and chassis internally. Since that milestone, the company has won six constructors’ championships and produced four world champions in Formula 1. Honda engineers worked closely with Casio to design the details of this commemorative watch.

The bezel uses genuine Championship White paint taken from the RA272 race car. The color is applied to the base and finished with a top coat to replicate the car’s glossy ivory body. A gold “60” sits at the 60-minute position to highlight the anniversary. Around the dial, a red ring references the Hinomaru circle used on the RA272 and mirrors the design of the Japanese flag.

Inside the dial, a gold metal bearing ring carries the engraving “Veni, Vidi, Vici” along with the car number “11.” The phrase refers to the message Honda’s Formula 1 team sent after its historic victory. The strap also reflects Honda’s engineering history. It features a printed diagram of the RA272’s 1.5-liter V12 engine, emphasizing Honda’s unusual decision to use a 12-cylinder layout in the car. The band uses nappa leather on the front and ultra suede on the underside.

The countdown timer positioned at 9 o’clock is designed to resemble the RA272’s tachometer. It replicates the original color scheme, scale font, hand shape, and red zone markings from the race car’s instrument cluster.

The watch measures 50.2 × 45.8 × 11.8 mm and weighs 67 grams. Its case and bezel combine carbon, stainless steel, and resin materials. The band fits wrists measuring between 175 and 215 mm. Water resistance is rated at 10 ATM.

In Japan, the model is listed at ¥66,000, roughly $421, and is expected to go on sale there in March 2026.

Nothing announces Headphone (a) with five days of battery and a lighter design

Mar 5, 2026

Alongside the Phone (4a) series, Nothing has officially launched the Headphone (a). As an affordable alternative to the Headphone (1), the headphones feature a similar design to the Headphone (1) and offer good battery life and customizable sound.

Nothing Headphone (a) Specifications

The Headphone (a) stands out visually thanks to its four color options: yellow, pink, black, and white. Despite being over-ear headphones, the device is relatively lightweight at 310 grams. It uses memory foam ear cushions designed to sit comfortably during long listening sessions.

Nothing has also added an IP52 rating, meaning the headphones offer protection against dust and light splashes of water.

Inside the Headphone (a) are 40mm drivers with a titanium-coated diaphragm. According to Nothing, this material provides a more rigid structure for the drivers, helping to reduce distortion and deliver cleaner audio.

The headphones support Hi-Resolution Audio Wireless and the LDAC codec. Users can also tweak the sound profile through the Nothing X app, which includes an eight-band equalizer for more precise frequency adjustments than typical bass and treble sliders.

Adaptive Noise Cancellation and Smarter Controls

The Headphone (a) includes adaptive active noise cancellation with three preset levels — low, medium, and high — depending on how much background noise users want to block out.

There is also a transparency mode that lets outside sounds in, allowing users to stay aware of their surroundings. For calls, the headphones feature a three-microphone AI system that analyzes surrounding noise and isolates the user’s voice.

The headphones also use the same physical controls introduced on the earlier Nothing Headphone (1), including a Roller, Paddle, and Button built directly into the ear cups.

Nothing is also introducing a feature called Channel Hop. Users can activate it by pressing the button, allowing them to quickly switch between apps or functions without reaching for their phone. The same button can also work as a remote camera shutter.

As for battery life, Nothing says the headphones can deliver up to five days of continuous listening on a single charge. A quick five-minute charge is said to provide up to five hours of playback.

Price and Availability

The Nothing Headphone (a) will be sold for $199, £149, or €159. Preorders begin on March 5 through Nothing’s website and selected partners.

Open sales for the black, white, and pink versions start on March 13, while the yellow limited edition model will arrive later, on April 6.

Nothing launches Phone (4a) and Phone (4a) Pro, each with its own design identity

By

Rajesh Regmi

-

Mar 5, 2026

The Nothing Phone (4a) and (4a) Pro are finally here, and unsurprisingly, both phones have their own design and character. The Phone (4a) has a cleaner profile with a pill-shaped rear camera module. Meanwhile, the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro has a bold new look, where the camera module covers the top, housing three camera lenses.

Both phones also feature redesigned rear lighting systems and arrive with Nothing OS 4.1 based on Android 16. Nothing is promising three major OS updates and six years of security patches, matching the support window offered by the previous generation.

Here’s how the two new models differ.

Prev Next

1. Nothing Phone (4a)

The Nothing Phone (4a) retains the simpler design of its predecessor. The phone features a pill-shaped rear camera module and a new lighting system called the Glyph Bar on the back.

Glyph Bar places LEDs in a straight strip across the back. The bar is divided into six segments and contains 63 LEDs, along with the red recording indicator. The lights can reach up to 3,500 nits of brightness in three different levels, which is about 40% higher than the previous generation.

Inside, the phone runs on the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset. While it technically succeeds the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 used previously, the performance improvement is relatively small—only about 7% per Nothing. It’s paired with 8GB or 12GB of LPDDR4X RAM and up to 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage.

On the front, it has a 6.78-inch OLED panel with a resolution of 1,224 × 2,720 pixels and supports a 120Hz refresh rate. Peak brightness climbs to 4,500 nits, and the screen is protected by Gorilla Glass 7i.

Camera hardware is where the vanilla model slightly differs from the Pro. The main camera uses a 50-megapixel Samsung GN9 sensor with an f/1.88 lens and optical image stabilization. The rest of the camera setup mirrors the Pro model, including a 50MP 3.5x periscope telephoto lens, an 8MP ultra-wide camera, and a 32MP front camera.

The body uses a plastic frame and measures 8.55mm thick. It carries an IP64 rating for dust and water resistance and features a 5,080mAh batterywith 50W wired charging support.

Price and availability

Pre-orders for the Nothing Phone (4a) start from today, and open sales will begin on March 13. The phone will be available through the official website and select retail partners. Here’s the price breakdown for EU, UK, and India:

8/128GB: €350 / £350 / ₹32,000
8/256GB: €390 / ₹35,000
12/256GB: €430 / £400 / ₹38,000

2. Nothing Phone (4a) Pro

Coming to the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro, the most visible change is the Glyph Matrix. It is a circular LED display on the back of the phone made up of 137 LEDs. While that’s fewer than the 489 LEDs used in the flagship Glyph Matrix seen on Nothing Phone (3), the new version is larger and brighter.

The circular area is also about 57 percent bigger, and the LEDs can reach up to 3,000 nits of brightness.

The Pro also upgrades the build quality with a metal unibody design, replacing the plastic frame used on the standard model. Despite the metal switch, the phone remains relatively light and is slimmer at 7.95mm thick.

It carries an IP65 rating for dust and water resistance. Nothing says the phone can survive submersion in water up to 25cm for around 20 minutes.

Under the hood, the phone runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 processor. Compared to the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 used in the previous generation, the new chip promises around 27 percent faster CPU performance, 30 percent better graphics performance, and a significant 65 percent boost in AI tasks.

The device pairs the chip with 8GB or 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and either 128GB or 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. To maintain sustained performance, Nothing has added a 5,300mm² vapor chamber cooling system.

The display is also larger and faster than the one on the standard model. The phone features a 6.83-inch OLED panel with a 144Hz refresh rate and a resolution of 1,260 × 2,800 pixels. Its peak brightness reaches 5,000 nits, and the panel uses 2,160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming.

Camera hardware on the Pro includes a 50MP Sony Lytia 700C sensor for the main camera with optical image stabilization. The phone also includes a 50MP Samsung JN5 periscope camera offering 3.5x optical zoom, extendable to 7x using in-sensor zoom.

The ultra-wide camera remains unchanged from the previous model with an 8MP Sony IMX355 sensor and a 120-degree field of view. On the front, the phone uses a 32MP selfie camera.

Like the standard model, the Pro includes a 5,080mAh battery with support for 50W wired charging.

Price and availability

Pre-orders for the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro begin on March 13, with open sales starting on March 27. Surprise, surprise, it will also be available in the US. Here’s the pricing breakdown for EU, UK, India, and the US:

8/128GB: €480 / £500 / ₹40,000 / $500
8/256GB: ₹43,000 (only available in India)
12/256GB: €550 / £550 / ₹46,000 / $600

Mar 5, 2026

Hisense has officially unveiled the Hisense UX 2026, a new flagship television designed to push the boundaries of display technology. The company says the premium home entertainment TV introduces several new technologies aimed at improving color accuracy, brightness, and motion performance. Continue reading ahead to know more about it in detail.

Hisense UX 2026 specifications and features

The Hisense UX 2026 introduces a new RGB Mini LED backlight system built around what the company calls a Linglong four-chip true-color architecture. Unlike traditional Mini LED systems that rely on three color sources, this setup adds a cyan light chip alongside red, green, and blue. The additional chip helps fill color gaps in the spectrum and improves colour accuracy across brightness levels. As a result, the panel can reach 110 percent BT.2020 colour gamut, allowing the TV to reproduce an extremely wide color range.

The flagship model features up to 43,008 color control zones and peak brightness of 10,000 nits, enabling strong contrast and detailed highlights in HDR content. Hisense pairs this hardware with the Hi-View H7 Pro AI picture processor, which uses a four-chip coordinated architecture and 134-bit color control precision. The processor also applies advanced algorithms designed to minimize halo effects around bright objects while maintaining balanced colors and stable brightness.

For screen technology, the UX 2026 includes a customised Ultra Black Obsidian panel designed to reduce reflections and deliver deeper black levels. Motion performance is handled by a native 4K 180Hz refresh rate, which is aimed at reducing motion blur and improving clarity during fast-moving sports and gaming scenes.

Audio is powered by a Devialet-tuned sound system featuring a counter-balanced bass chamber that enhances low-frequency performance without increasing the overall thickness of the TV. Hisense also introduces real-time AI 2D-to-3D conversion, which can transform standard video content into a simulated 3D viewing experience.

The top variant also stands out as the world’s largest 116-inch RGB Mini LED television, designed with an ultra-slim body and a wall-hugging form factor aimed at premium home theatre setups.

Hisense UX 2026 price and availability

The Hisense UX 2026 is available in 85-inch, 100-inch, and 116-inch variants. The 85-inch model is priced at 34,999 Yuan (around $4,850), the 100-inch version costs 54,999 Yuan (around $7,620), and the 116-inch flagship model is priced at 119,999 Yuan (around $16,640).

Mar 5, 2026

Samsung’s latest flagship lineup, the Galaxy S26 series, is reportedly seeing strong demand during its pre-order phase. An early industry report (via) indicates that the new devices are attracting significant interest from buyers. At the same time, the Galaxy S26 Ultra has received a major industry award at MWC 2026, highlighting the technological advancements introduced with the series.

Galaxy S26 series pre-orders show strong demand

According to telecom industry sources in South Korea, the Galaxy S26 series is performing well in early pre-order sales. Analysts believe the lineup could surpass the record set by the Galaxy S25 series, which recorded approximately 1.3 million units during its reservation period.

Samsung executives have also hinted at strong early performance. Company representatives revealed that sales of the Galaxy S26 lineup are currently about 15 percent higher than the previous generation, with the Ultra variant accounting for nearly 70 percent of the orders.

Industry observers believe that a mix of factors is contributing to this strong response. Carrier inventories of the Galaxy S25 series have largely been cleared, encouraging upgrades. In addition, premium smartphone buyers appear to be showing strong interest in the new lineup.

Galaxy S26 Ultra wins Best in Show at MWC 2026

Alongside its early market momentum, the Galaxy S26 Ultra has also received recognition at the Global Mobile Awards (GLOMO) during MWC 2026 in Barcelona. The device won the Best in Show award, one of the highest honours presented at the event.

The judging panel highlighted the device’s integration of advanced hardware with One UI 8.5 software and Galaxy AI features designed to simplify daily tasks while maintaining strong privacy protections.

One of the standout technologies is the built-in Privacy Display, which improves screen privacy without compromising visual quality. Judges noted that the device stood out among thousands of products showcased at MWC because it delivers meaningful innovation that users can experience today.

5 reasons the MacBook Neo isn’t a typical MacBook

By

Mar 5, 2026

Apple just introduced the MacBook Neo as its most affordable laptop at $599. This is a Mac designed for people who might otherwise buy a Chromebook or a cheaper Windows laptop. And at first glance, it’s really captivating.

It has an aluminum chassis, weighs just 1.23kg, and comes in four bright colors. The laptop features a 13-inch Liquid Retina display, dual speakers with Dolby Atmos, a 1080p webcam, and up to 16 hours of battery life.

But once you look past the bright colors and the relatively low price, the compromises start to show. To reach this price point, Apple has trimmed back several features that users might expect from a modern MacBook. Some of those changes may not matter much to casual users, but others stand out when you compare them with the company’s more expensive laptops.

Here are five limitations of the MacBook Neo that you must know before buying Apple’s new entry-level laptop.

Prev Next

1. It doesn’t use a full-power laptop chip

One of the most unusual aspects of the MacBook Neo is its processor.

Instead of using one of Apple’s laptop-focused chips, like those found in the MacBook Air or MacBook Pro, Apple chose the A18 Pro, the same chip it used in the iPhone 16 Pro.

This choice alone makes it clear where Apple sees the Neo in its lineup. A-series chips are typically designed for iPhones and iPads, not laptops. While they’re powerful and efficient, they aren’t built with the same thermal headroom or performance expectations as Apple’s M-series processors.

The version of the chip used in the MacBook Neo is also slightly reduced. The iPhone version features a 6-core CPU and a 6-core GPU, while the MacBook Neo ships with a 6-core CPU but only a 5-core GPU.

For basic tasks like browsing, document editing, or streaming, the chip should still be more than capable. Apple is also using a fanless design, which means the laptop operates completely silently. But for heavier workloads like video editing, the Neo may fall short compared with laptops powered by Apple’s M-series chips.

2. Limited memory and slower memory bandwidth

Memory is another area where Apple has made clear compromises. The MacBook Neo comes with 8GB of RAM, and unlike many other Apple computers, users cannot upgrade it when ordering the device. That means buyers are locked into the base configuration.

By comparison, newer Mac models now start with 16GB of RAM, including updated versions of the MacBook Air.

Because Apple uses unified memory architecture — where the CPU and GPU share the same memory pool — the amount of RAM can affect multiple parts of the system at once. Lower memory limits may become noticeable when running many browser tabs, multitasking across apps, or working with large files.

There’s also a difference in memory bandwidth. The MacBook Neo offers 60GB/s, which is less than half of what the MacBook Air provides.

3. The display loses several premium features

Apple is still calling the screen on the MacBook Neo a Liquid Retina display, but it’s not the same type of panel used in the company’s other laptops.

The 13-inch display has a resolution of 2408 × 1506, supports 1 billion colors, and reaches 500 nits of brightness, which matches the brightness level of the MacBook Air. However, there are several missing features.

First, the display only covers the sRGB color gamut, rather than the wider P3 color space supported by the MacBook Air since it switched to Apple silicon in 2020.

The display also does not support True Tone, Apple’s technology that automatically adjusts color temperature based on ambient lighting.

And perhaps more surprisingly, the MacBook Neo doesn’t include an ambient light sensor at all. That means the system cannot automatically adjust screen brightness depending on the environment.

4. No Magnetic Charging

Finally, the MacBook Neo removes a few physical hardware features that are common on other MacBooks.

One of the biggest differences is charging. Unlike the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, the Neo does not include a MagSafe magnetic charging port.

Instead, it relies on two USB-C ports, both located on the left side of the laptop. One of these ports supports USB 3 speeds up to 10Gb/s, while the other is limited to USB 2 speeds up to 480Mb/s.

Using USB-C for charging is not unusual, but MagSafe has become a popular feature because it detaches easily if someone trips over the charging cable. Also, it clears the USB-C port for other tasks.

5. Keyboard without backlight

Last but not least, there are compromises in keyboard and trackpad, too.

The keyboard does not include backlighting. It been a standard for MacBooks to include a backlit keyboard, but Neo is an exception.

Meanwhile, the trackpad is a simpler physical multi-touch trackpad instead of Apple’s Force Touch design. That means it lacks pressure sensitivity, force click features, and pressure-sensitive drawing.

Even Touch ID is optional. The base 256GB model doesn’t include it, though it is available if users upgrade to the 512GB version.

Mar 5, 2026

OnePlus is expected to unveil the OnePlus 16 in October this year in China. Since the OnePlus 15 was criticized for having underwhelming cameras, recent rumors suggest that its successor could arrive with significantly improved camera hardware. To recall, in December 2025, well-known tipster Digital Chat Station claimed that the OnePlus 16 may feature the same imaging setup expected to debut on the upcoming Find N6 foldable phone. Now, a new leak has surfaced revealing the rear camera configuration of the N6, offering a glimpse of what the OnePlus 16 could bring in terms of photography.

Oppo Find N6 / OnePlus 16 camera specs tipped

As per the leak, the Oppo Find N6 will feature a 200-megapixel Samsung HP5 main camera with an f/1.8 aperture and OIS support. It will be accompanied by a 50-megapixel Samsung JN5 camera with an f/2.0 aperture and a 50-megapixel Samsung JN5 periscope telephoto camera with an f/2.7 aperture and OIS support.

There is a possibility that the same 200-megapixel triple camera setup could also appear on the OnePlus 16. These cameras may not necessarily deliver the same level of photography experience as Pro or Ultra-branded flagship phones. However, if the leak proves accurate, the OnePlus 16 could still deliver a strong camera experience, especially considering that the device may be positioned primarily as a performance-focused flagship.

Speaking of performance, the OnePlus 16 is expected to feature the next-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chipset. Some reports also suggest that the device may pack a massive 9,000mAh battery.

The display could also see an upgrade. The OnePlus 16 is rumored to feature a 200Hz or 240Hz OLED panel offering a 1.5K resolution and ultra-thin bezels measuring less than 1mm. As a next-generation flagship, the device is expected to run on OxygenOS 17 based on Android 17. This phone may carry a starting price of 4,999 Yuan (~$725).

Mar 5, 2026

Vivo recently showcased the Vivo X300 Ultra at MWC 2026. Since then, the brand has been gradually revealing key details about what it claims will be its ultimate camera smartphone. Today, Vivo product manager Han Boxiao confirmed several technical details about the primary camera of the X300 Ultra, offering a clearer picture of the device’s imaging capabilities.

Vivo X300 Ultra main camera details confirmed

According to Han Boxiao, the Vivo X300 Ultra will feature a Sony LYTIA-901 sensor, which is making its debut globally on the device. The phone will adopt a 35mm main camera, a focal length often preferred for street and documentary photography. Vivo says this focal length offers a natural perspective that is well-suited for capturing people and real-world scenes with minimal distortion.

The main camera also combines a 200-megapixel sensor with a large 1/1.12-inch sensor size, which Vivo describes as a premium configuration for mobile photography. The company claims that the effective light-gathering area per pixel has increased by over 30 percent compared to the previous generation. Stabilization has also been upgraded from CIPA 5.0 to CIPA 6.5, which should help improve handheld photography and video recording, especially in low-light environments.

Vivo has also improved the lens structure. The previous generation’s 7P lens setup has been replaced by a 1G + 6P optical configuration. The system includes ALD PRO coating that reportedly reduces reflections by around 30 percent, along with additional coatings designed to minimise ghosting and improve clarity in challenging lighting conditions.

Vivo X300 Ultra’s other cameras

As for the rest of the camera system, rumors suggest the Vivo X300 Ultra may include a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-828 ultra-wide camera and a 200-megapixel Samsung HPB periscope telephoto camera. For color accuracy, the setup is also expected to feature a 5-megapixel multispectral sensor. On the front, the phone may include a 50-megapixel autofocus selfie camera.

At MWC 2026, Vivo also showcased a 400mm teleconverter kit capable of delivering 17x optical zoom. The X300 Ultra paired with this accessory is aimed at professional creators. A recent leak has also suggested that Vivo is preparing another teleconverter kit designed for everyday photography enthusiasts.

Just a few days after its reveal in full, Honor has quietly introduced the Honor 600 Lite in Malaysia. The company didn’t hold an event or make a big announcement, but the new Honor 600 Lite is now officially listed and available for purchase in the country.

At a glance, the phone sticks to a fairly simple design. The front features a pill-shaped notch, while the back has a rectangular camera module with two lenses and an LED flash.

On the right side of the frame, Honor has added a dedicated shutter button likely to wake the camera with one touch. The device is available in two color options: Velvet Grey and Desert Gold.

Honor 600 Lite Specifications

Up front, the Honor 600 Lite features a 6.6-inch AMOLED display with a 1.5K screen resolution. The panel also supports a 120Hz refresh rate and has 6,500 nits of peak brightness.

Powering the phone is MediaTek’s MediaTek Dimensity 7100 Elite processor. The chip is paired with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage.

The camera setup is built around a 108-megapixel primary sensor. It’s accompanied by a 5-megapixel ultra-wide camera, while a 16-megapixel camera on the front handles selfies.

Moving on, the Honor 600 Lite packs a 6,520mAh battery, and top-up is handled through 45W wired charging.

The phone also supports Bluetooth 6.0, NFC, and carries an IP66 rating for water and dust resistance. On the software side, it runs MagicOS 10 based on Android 16.

The Honor 600 Lite is now available in Malaysia with a retail price of RM1,399 (~ $355). For a limited time, Honor is offering a RM100 (~ $25) rebate along with a 1+1 year extended warranty worth RM99.

Nothing Phone (4a) Pro with scaled-down Glyph Matrix

By

Mar 5, 2026

Ahead of the official launch on March 5, 2026, Nothing shared a teaser showing the rear of the Phone (4a) Pro as a dark silhouette, briefly lit up by a circular LED pattern. The short clip confirms that the phone will feature a Glyph Matrix, the circular LED array that first appeared on the flagship Nothing Phone (3).

On the Phone (3), the Glyph Matrix consisted of 489 micro-LEDs, allowing the phone to display fairly detailed animations, everything from notifications and timers to progress indicators and even pixel-style caller IDs.

The version coming to the Phone (4a) Pro, however, appears to be noticeably scaled down. Early information suggests the matrix may use around 137 micro-LEDs, a significant reduction from the flagship implementation.

That change has already sparked debate within the community. Discussions on platforms like Reddit and X show many fans wondering whether the reduced LED count will limit what the feature can actually do. With fewer lights, animations may not look as smooth, and complex icons or progress indicators could lose some detail.

An animation circulating online, shared by X user @adi, appears to demonstrate the matrix in action. It shows familiar Glyph-style behaviors such as pulsing notification alerts and charging indicators. But compared to the Phone (3), the visuals do seem less detailed.

Another detail that remains unclear is the physical size of the matrix. The teaser doesn’t reveal whether the LED circle itself is smaller or simply uses fewer LEDs within the same space.

The base Phone (4a) takes a different approach altogether. Instead of the circular matrix, it features a Glyph Bar. By keeping the Glyph Matrix exclusive to the Pro model, Nothing is clearly trying to create a visual and functional gap between the two devices.

With the launch event scheduled for later today in many regions, we won’t have to wait long to see the full picture. Whether the scaled-down Glyph Matrix turns out to be a clever cost-saving tweak or a feature that feels watered down remains to be seen. Either way, the teaser has already done one thing successfully: it has people talking.
