Mar 3, 2026

Samsung has announced a major update to its Galaxy for the Planet initiative, outlining fresh environmental goals through 2030. After successfully meeting its earlier 2025 sustainability targets, the company is now widening its focus beyond product design and manufacturing to address broader ecological impact across its global operations.

Galaxy for the Planet achieves 2025 milestones

Samsung Galaxy for the Planet — Samsung’s Galaxy for the Planet initiative

Launched in 2021, Galaxy for the Planet serves as the sustainability framework for Samsung’s Mobile eXperience business. The company confirmed that it has achieved all four goals originally set for 2025, which were aimed at lowering environmental impact across mobile products and operations.

A key area of progress has been the increased use of recycled and responsibly sourced materials in Galaxy devices. Samsung now applies 10 types of recycled materials in both internal and external components, including plastics, glass and metals. It has also advanced circular initiatives such as recovering plastics from discarded fishing nets and strengthening its Circular Battery Supply Chain to reclaim materials from used batteries.

The company has phased out single-use plastics in mobile packaging, shifting to paper-based and recycled alternatives. Improvements in low standby power technology have reduced charger standby consumption to near-zero levels. In manufacturing, all qualifying mobile production sites have received Platinum certification under UL Solutions’ Zero Waste to Landfill standard, reflecting complete landfill diversion at those facilities.

With its initial targets achieved, Samsung is expanding its sustainability strategy for the remainder of the decade. The next phase centres on three priority areas: circularity, water stewardship and ecosystem conservation.

Samsung aims to include at least one recycled material in every module of every Galaxy mobile product, covering phones, tablets, PCs and watches. On water management, the company plans to return 110 percent of the water consumed in its mobile operations while pursuing the highest Alliance for Water Stewardship certification. It has also committed to conserving ecosystems equivalent to the footprint of its global mobile operations, focusing on habitat protection and biodiversity restoration.

Through these measures, Samsung is positioning sustainability as a long-term pillar of its innovation and operational strategy rather than a standalone initiative.

Vivo confirms X300 Ultra supports full-focal-length 4K Log shooting and custom LUT support

By

Mar 3, 2026

Vivo officially unveiled the X300 Ultra at Mobile World Congress 2026, and now the company is sharing more details about the phone’s video chops.

In a post on Weibo, Vivo product manager Han Boxiao laid out what he calls the key camera upgrades coming to the X300 Ultra. According to him, the X300 Ultra is aiming to be a “pocket camera” for creators.

Vivo X300 Ultra can record 10-bit Log from all three lenses

One of the headline features is what Vivo calls its “no secondary camera” Zeiss Master Lens Trinity. In practical terms, the company says all focal lengths — from wide to telephoto — will support 4K 120fps 10-bit Log recording. The same applies to 4K 120fps Dolby Vision capture and optical image stabilization across all focal lengths.

The consistency carries over into post-production. The X300 Ultra supports APV 422 professional video encoding, which Vivo claims brings output closer to what you’d expect from a dedicated camera.

Moreover, Log footage can load and apply 3D LUTs and custom LUTs during recording, enabling real-time color calibration on set. It’s also compatible with ACES workflows, so Log clips can drop into professional cinema pipelines without heavy conversion.

As for the audio, the X300 Ultra has a four-microphone system with six preset scenes designed to enhance target audio while reducing ambient noise.

For more casual use, Vivo is adding two cinematic color presets: Film Style and Film Look. These are designed to deliver more polished, one-tap results without requiring manual grading. The official says that sample photos and videos in these modes will be shared later.

Vivo X300 Ultra 400mm teleconverter kit-

The device is also tipped to feature a 6.82-inch 2K BOE flat display with narrow bezels and LTPO technology. It will pack the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip and a battery of around 7,000mAh capacity with 100W wired and 40W wireless charging support.

Xiaomi unveils Vertical Study Lamp 2 with 17-year lifespan, 12700 lumens brightness

By

Mar 3, 2026

Xiaomi has introduced a new floor-standing desk lamp in China called the Xiaomi Mijia Vertical Study Lamp 2. It’s the company’s latest attempt to turn something as ordinary as a study light into a spec-heavy smart home product. So let’s walk through the details here.

Xiaomi Mijia Vertical Study Lamp 2 Specifications

The lamp is designed for rooms up to 15 square meters, which makes it suitable for bedrooms or small home offices. Xiaomi says it uses long-lasting LED beads rated for up to 17 years of use. `

The company further claims the model boosts brightness by 27 percent compared to its predecessor. It delivers a total luminous flux of 12,700 lumens, with an average illuminance of over 1,800 lux in the central area. The uniformity in that center area is rated at 1.04.

The company also says the lamp produces almost no noticeable hand shadows under the light, something that could matter if you spend long hours writing or sketching at a desk.

Like many recent Xiaomi lighting products, the Study Lamp 2 focuses heavily on eye comfort. It supports anti-glare performance with a UGR rating below 13 and offers a high color rendering index of Ra98. The lamp also has a solar spectrum fitting coefficient above 0.985, which indicates that it simulates natural daylight more closely.

There’s also a smart layer. The lamp supports AI-based automatic dimming and can detect when someone is seated. It connects to the Mi Home app and works with Xiaomi’s broader smart ecosystem. Controls include touch interaction on the lamp post itself, as well as remote operation through the app and Xiaomi’s Super AI features.

The official price of the Xiaomi Mijia Vertical Study Lamp 2 is 2,499 yuan (~ $363). It is currently available at a launch price of 2,349 yuan (~ $350), with a national subsidy bringing the final price down to 1,996.65 yuan (~ $290).

Apple iPhone 17e vs. Google Pixel 10a: Which one offers the best value?

By

Anvinraj Valiyathara

Mar 3, 2026

Apple has just officially unveiled the iPhone 17e as its most accessible gateway into the ecosystem. In the same way, the Pixel 10a, which debuted last month, is an entry-level phone from Google. Here’s a comparison between the two to know which one offers the best value.

6The Verdict: Ecosystem vs. Value

Choosing between the iPhone 17e and the Pixel 10a ultimately comes down to whether you prioritize a refined, high-performance ecosystem or cutting-edge display and AI features at a lower price point.

The iPhone 17e is the “safe” and powerful choice. It offers the best-in-class A19 chip, ensuring that this phone will remain fast for years to come. If you are already tied to iMessage, iCloud, and Apple Watch, or if video quality is your top priority, the 17e is a massive upgrade over previous budget models. The addition of Apple Intelligence and the jump to 256GB base storage makes the higher price tag much easier to swallow.

On the other hand, the Pixel 10a is the clear winner for tech enthusiasts who want the best hardware for their money. Its 120Hz display makes the iPhone’s 60Hz screen look dated, and the inclusion of an ultrawide lens provides photographic flexibility that Apple’s single-sensor setup simply cannot match. If you want a phone that feels “smarter” with its deeply integrated Gemini AI and you prefer a smoother visual experience, the Pixel 10a is the superior value proposition in 2026.

Mar 3, 2026

Just days after details surfaced about the Honor 600, we’re now getting a full look at another member of the lineup, the Honor 600 Lite. German outlet WinFuture has published a batch of official-looking renders alongside a rundown of the phone’s core specs.

The information appears to originate from a listing by a Singapore-based retailer, suggesting the device may be close to launch.

The Honor 600 Lite will ship with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. The listed price is 399 Singapore dollars, which roughly converts to around $315.

Honor 600 Lite Specifications

The renders show a fairly clean design with a pill-shaped notch on the front. On the right side of the frame, there’s a dedicated shutter button. Around the back, the camera module sits inside a rectangular bump that stands out slightly from the rear panel.

The Honor 600 Lite will be available in Velvet Black and Desert Gold options. The black version looks understated, while the gold model leans more toward a softer, muted finish.

As for the display, the Honor 600 Lite is said to feature a 6.6-inch AMOLED panel with a resolution of 2600 x 1200. It’s rated for peak HDR brightness of 6,500 nits. It also reportedly carries an IP66 rating for water resistance.

Under the hood, the phone is expected to run on the MediaTek Dimensity 7100 Elite processor. Furthermore, the leak reveals a 6,250mAh battery paired with 45W wired charging support.

On the camera side, the front houses a 16-megapixel f/2.2 selfie camera. On the back, there’s a 10.8-megapixel f/1.75 main sensor and a 5-megapixel ultra-wide camera. There’s no telephoto lens, which isn’t surprising at this price point, but it does mean zoom capabilities will likely rely on digital cropping.

It’s not yet confirmed when Honor will announce this smartphone. However, its appearance in the retailer listing suggests that the launch isn’t too far off.

The device is also expected to include a Plus Key and feature an IP68/69-rated dustproof and water-resistant chassis.

TCL CSOT Introduces Super Pixel Displays and 8.6-Gen Printed OLED Plans at MWC 2026

TCL CSOT is at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, showing off display tech focused on efficiency over higher resolution. The TCL Technology subsidiary is presenting Super Pixel technology for phones alongside progress in fine-metal-mask OLED, inkjet-printed OLED, and MLED under its APEX brand.

Super Pixel changes how pixels are arranged rather than cramming in more of them. TCL CSOT boosts sub-pixel count by 1.8% to match WQHD SPR sharpness while cutting power use up to 25% through better data processing. The Real RGB layout needs less bandwidth than SPR, pushing refresh rates up to 40% higher.

The real bet is on inkjet-printed OLED manufacturing. TCL CSOT says it spent over a decade on IJP OLED research and started mass production from its G5.5 line in Wuhan in November 2024. Construction kicked off on October 21, 2025 on an 8.6-generation facility in Guangzhou after a $4.15 billion investment. Inkjet printing puts down OLED materials without masks and cuts contamination, but scaling it up is hard because of issues with drying control, production speed, and material limits compared to vacuum evaporation.

TCL CSOT is showing concept hardware to prove what printed OLED can do: a 28-inch tri-fold monitor with a 1.8mm folding radius and 4.48mm profile, plus a 14-inch laptop panel that’s 0.77mm thick and weighs 77 grams.

The timing matters because competition for large OLED production is heating up. Samsung Display’s Gen-8.6 FMM tandem OLED line could hit mass production in Q2 2026, with panels headed to Apple MacBook Pro models. TCL CSOT is taking a different route with printed OLED to reach the same IT display market.

TCL CSOT is exhibiting March 2 to 5 at Fira Gran Via, Hall 2, Stand 2M30, during the GSMA show in L’Hospitalet de Llobregat.
