There is also two way voice communication that lets users talk to visitors and delivery workers straight from their smartphones. The security cam can also survive outdoor conditions since it carries an IP66 rating for water and dust resistance. Other notable features include Xiaomi HyperConnect ecosystem support and Active Defence with sound and light alarms.

Jan 28, 2026

iQOO is gearing up to unveil its next flagship, the iQOO 15 Ultra, that is targeted as a powerful new gaming smartphone. Previous teasers have shared some of its specifications, and the latest promo image has confirmed new shoulder triggers for an improved gaming experience. So let’s check it out.

iQOO 15 Ultra: Controller Gaming Feel on a Smartphone

The Chinese brand teased a pair of new “super-sensitive gaming shoulder buttons” that are strategically placed along the sides of the frame. These aren’t typical press-type triggers but capacitive touch-based controls that register input at an impressively high 600Hz sampling rate, promising ultra-fast responsiveness during intense gameplay. In comparison, onscreen buttons can feel cramped or imprecise. So the shoulder triggers are designed to mimic a controller’s feel when you hold the device horizontally.

They support custom mapping, so players can assign actions or shortcuts based on their playstyle, like firing, jumping, or combos. That’s not all, the teasers also revealed support for dual War Drum speakers for audio, which could make the iQOO 15 Ultra the first smartphone from the brand to offer Dolby Atmos tuning. Complementing the audio is a War Hammer dual-axis vibration motor. This bidirectional feedback system provides multidimensional vibration effects.

It is a step above conventional vibrating motors, bringing in-game events like explosions or impacts to life. In related news, the iQOO 15 Ultra is set to debut in China on 4th February 2026, and the company has also confirmed a new Q3 gaming chip and an active cooling solution with the Ice Dome Air Cooling System. Based on what we know so far, the smartphone is expected to feature a 6.85-inch 2K LTPO AMOLED display, with up to 24GB of RAM, 1TB of internal storage, a gigantic 7,400mAh battery, and a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC.

Is the Tecno Spark Go 3 a good choice for everyday use

Jan 28, 2026

Entry-level smartphones are usually judged by what they lack. Slower performance, basic cameras, and software compromises are expected at this price point. So, when I started using the Tecno Spark Go 3 as a daily phone, I was not looking for excitement. The goal was simple. Could a phone priced at Rs 8,999 handle everyday tasks without constantly reminding you of its limitations?

After spending time with it for calls, WhatsApp, YouTube, music streaming, and light photography, the Spark Go 3 turned out to be more usable than I expected, especially for users upgrading from older budget smartphones.

6Who is the Tecno Spark Go 3 meant for?

Tecno Spark Go 3

At Rs 8,999, the Tecno Spark Go 3 is clearly aimed at first-time smartphone users, students, parents, and anyone looking for a dependable secondary phone. It is not designed for power users or heavy gaming, and it does not try to be.

Instead, it focuses on delivering a smooth display, reliable battery life, stable everyday performance, and practical features that make daily usage easier. For its price, that combination makes the Spark Go 3 a sensible and well-rounded option in the entry-level segment.

Jan 28, 2026

Huawei has announced a new version of its Watch GT 6 Pro in Malaysia in collaboration with Japanese golf brand Honma.

The Honma x Huawei Watch GT 6 Pro carries a premium price of RM1,299 (around US$328) and comes in a special gift box that includes a golden golf ball.

The smartwatch is largely similar to the standard 46mm Watch GT 6 Pro from the inside. The collaboration mostly affects the outside, in a good way, of course.

Huawei Watch GT 6 Honma Edition Specifications

The most visible change is the golden titanium bezel that frames the watch’s round 1.47-inch AMOLED display. This is paired with a black sports band featuring the Honma logo and a golden buckle.

The watch also includes an exclusive Japanese-style Honma watch face, continuing the brand’s signature black-and-gold aesthetic.

Huawei has also added features such as an AI caddie, distance tracking, and green slope orientation to help golfers determine the ideal launch angle and distance to the hole.

The Honma edition keeps the same comprehensive suite of sensors and features as the standard GT 6 Pro, including ECG, heart rate, SpO2, skin temperature sensor, NFC, GPS, and an altimeter.

The smartwatch offers up to 21 days of battery life, which drops to seven days if the always-on display is enabled. The display resolution is 466 x 466 pixels, and the screen is protected by sapphire glass.

The partnership with Honma marks Huawei’s first co-branded smartwatch with a luxury golf manufacturer. It is priced roughly $50 higher than the standard Watch GT 6 Pro for the extras you get.

OnePlus 16 tipped with 240Hz display, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro, 200MP triple cameras, & more

Jan 28, 2026

Even though OnePlus only recently announced its latest flagship series, a big leak has hinted at some of the key specs of the next-gen OnePlus 16. This model is expected to get a notable upgrade over its predecessor, with new camera sensors, a smoother display, and faster performance. So here’s what we know.

OnePlus 16 Leaked Specs

The latest leak arrives from known tipster Debayan Roy, who shared the details on X (formerly Twitter). In his tweet, he claims that the next flagship from OnePlus will sport a blisteringly high refresh rate that could hit up to 240Hz. Although, it remains to be seen just which games would be able to take advantage of this super smooth refresh rate. This is reportedly still based on a flat LTPO OLED BOE X5 panel that has a 1.5K resolution, similar to the OnePlus 15.

Under the hood, the OnePlus 16 might be equipped with Qualcomm’s next-gen Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chip, which could be an evolution of the Elite series designed for the top end flagship performance. We can expect a notable performance bump over older flagship chips, especially in areas like GPU performance, CPU performance, improved efficiency, and better AI workloads. Powering the hardware is a massive 9,000mAh battery pack that could support 100W wired fast charging and 50W wireless fast charging.

For optics, the camera setup is expected to get a new 200MP primary camera that is coupled with a 50MP ultra wide angle lens, and a 50MP telephoto shooter. The exact sensor details are unknown, so it is unclear whether the new cameras will be an upgrade in terms of sensor size. Other notable features rumored for the OnePlus 16 include an IP69 rating, USB 3 port, and an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner.

1. Design and Display

Build and Feel

OnePlus Turbo 6 adopts a bold, performance-driven design with a clear focus on durability, backed by higher-grade water and dust resistance. It feels purpose-built for users who want a phone that can handle rougher usage without worry. The OnePlus 13R goes in a more refined direction, using glass and metal to deliver a cleaner, more premium look. It feels closer to a traditional flagship and fits better into professional or lifestyle-focused use.

Display Quality

Turbo 6 stands out with its ultra-smooth 165Hz AMOLED panel and very high PWM dimming, making long gaming or scrolling sessions easier on the eyes. The 13R counters with an LTPO AMOLED display that supports Dolby Vision and HDR10+, offering better brightness control and richer visuals. Media consumption feels more immersive on the 13R, while the Turbo 6 prioritizes fluidity.

Verdict

Turbo 6 favors durability and smoothness, while the 13R delivers a more polished, media-focused display experience.

2. Specifications

Performance

Powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, the OnePlus Turbo 6 delivers strong sustained performance and excellent efficiency, especially during long gaming sessions. The OnePlus 13R’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 still holds a slight edge in peak performance and graphics-heavy tasks. In everyday usage, both phones feel fast and responsive, but the 13R feels more tuned for flagship-level workloads.

Battery and Charging

Battery endurance is a major advantage for the Turbo 6, comfortably lasting longer under heavy use. Charging speeds are similar, but the larger battery gives it a clear real-world benefit. The 13R charges quickly but requires more frequent charging due to its smaller battery.

Verdict

Turbo 6 is ideal for heavy users who value endurance, while the 13R suits users seeking top-tier performance with balanced efficiency.

3. Camera

Main and Secondary Lenses

OnePlus 13R offers a more complete camera system with a main sensor, telephoto lens, and ultrawide camera. This versatility makes it better for portraits, zoom shots, and travel photography. Image processing feels more consistent, with better dynamic range and color balance. The Turbo 6 relies mainly on its primary sensor, delivering solid daylight shots but limited flexibility due to the lack of additional lenses.

Selfie Camera

Both phones deliver reliable selfie performance suitable for video calls and social media. The 13R tends to produce slightly more natural skin tones in varied lighting.

Verdict

OnePlus 13R is the stronger choice for photography, while the Turbo 6 is sufficient for casual camera use.

4. Pricing

OnePlus Turbo 6 is priced around $300 / ₹28,000, placing it firmly in the value-performance category. The OnePlus 13R costs approximately $450 / ₹38,999, targeting buyers willing to pay extra for a more premium experience.

Is the Price Justified ?

At its price, the Turbo 6 delivers exceptional value with a massive battery, strong performance, and a durability-focused design. It feels aggressively priced for what it offers. The 13R justifies its higher cost through a superior display, a more versatile camera system, a refined software experience, and longer update support.

Verdict

Turbo 6 offers outstanding value, while the 13R earns its price with polish and balance.

5. Conclusion

OnePlus Turbo 6 stands out for its long battery life, ultra-high refresh rate display, advanced eye-comfort features, and rugged protection. These traits make it especially appealing for gamers and power users. The OnePlus 13R differentiates itself with an LTPO display, Dolby Vision support, a flexible triple-camera setup, and a more premium overall feel.

Final Verdict

Turbo 6 feels like a performance-first smartphone built for endurance and value. The OnePlus 13R feels more refined and well-rounded, catering to users who prioritize camera quality, display excellence, and a near-flagship experience. Choosing between them comes down to whether raw value and battery life matter more than polish and versatility.

But if only one has to be chosen, the OnePlus 13R is the better overall pick. It feels more balanced for everyday use and long-term ownership, making it the safer and more refined choice despite the higher price.

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 won’t be made by Samsung, says new rumor

By

-

Jan 28, 2026

A report earlier this month suggested that Qualcomm is looking to work with Samsung Foundry for its next Snapdragon mobile processors.

The speculation was largely tied to the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6, with claims that some of Qualcomm’s next flagship chips could use Samsung’s manufacturing facilities.

However, a new report from Smart Chip Insider on Weibo says that Qualcomm will rely exclusively on TSMC for the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 series.

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 will be exclusively made by TSMC

For those unfamiliar, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 is expected to come in two variants: a standard version and a Pro model. According to the tipster, both versions will be manufactured using TSMC’s N2P process, as is expected all along.

To back up the claim, the tipster points to a basic reality of chip development: designing and manufacturing an advanced mobile processor is not something companies can change on short notice.

The full development cycle—from IP design to a finished system-on-chip—typically takes around two years. As a result, it would be nearly impossible for a chip expected to be commercially available as early as the third quarter of this year to switch manufacturing processes or foundry partners at short notice. The reasoning makes sense if we think through it.

Still, this doesn’t mean Samsung is completely out of Qualcomm’s plans. During CES 2026, Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon confirmed that discussions between Qualcomm and Samsung are ongoing. While he didn’t point to any specific product, his comments suggest that a collaboration could still happen down the line.

As always with early chip rumors, the full picture will not be clear until Qualcomm makes things official.

Galaxy S26 Ultra ‘Privacy Display’ can hide sensitive screen content from side views

By

Rajesh Regmi

-

Jan 28, 2026

Samsung’s first teaser for the Galaxy S26 series talks about a new kind of built-in privacy display that the phones will come with.

We’ve all been in situations where it’s easy for someone nearby to catch a glimpse of our screen. You can usually solve this problem with privacy screen protectors that limit viewing angles. The trade-off, of course, is that these protectors tend to dim the display and reduce overall image quality.

A screengrab from the teaser showing eyes on the left and right can’t see screen lock

Samsung is instead making this feature part of the Galaxy S26 display itself. Based on the company’s teaser and earlier hints, this “Privacy Display” isn’t a simple on-or-off mode. Instead, it’s expected to work selectively, allowing certain parts of the screen to remain visible while others are hidden from side angles.

Samsung’s Privacy Display can also hide a part of your screen

Samsung says the feature can be adjusted depending on what you’re doing. This could include protecting sensitive notifications, specific apps, or moments when you’re entering passwords or other private information. Rather than darkening the entire display, the phone may only obscure the areas that actually need protection, while everything else stays normal and readable.

A screengrab showing people on the left and right can’t see the notification

A leak shared by well-known tipster Ice Universe adds more detail about how this might work in practice. According to the information, the display can apply privacy effects to a small section of the screen, such as a notification pop-up.

From the user’s direct viewing angle, the content looks clear. From the side, that same area appears blacked out, making it unreadable to anyone nearby.

Samsung says the feature took years of development, combining both hardware and software changes. For now, the company hasn’t confirmed whether all Galaxy S26 models will support it or when we’ll see a full demo. However, we can expect to learn more soon.

Through newly shared posters, the brand has confirmed the display size, battery capacity, charging capabilities, and chipset of the standard Turbo 5. Here is a closer look at everything that has been officially revealed so far.

Redmi Turbo 5 key specifications confirmed

Redmi has confirmed that the Redmi Turbo 5 will feature a 6.59-inch OLED display, which is said to support a 1.5K resolution. Powering the device is the Dimensity 8500-Ultra chipset. It is paired with LPDDR5x Ultra RAM and UFS 4.1 storage, indicating flagship-level performance hardware.For heat dissipation, it features a 3D Ice-Sealed Circulation Cooling Pump, offering three times the heat dissipation of traditional VC cooling systems.

WhatsApp Ads Could Expand, With €4 Monthly Subscription for Ad-Free Access

WhatsApp may soon push ads deeper into multiple regions across the globe, and users who want a clean, ad-free experience could have to pay for it.

Code spotted in WhatsApp’s Android beta version 2.26.3.9 (via Wabetainfo) suggests the company is testing a paid subscription that removes ads entirely. The plan is aimed at users in Europe and the UK and is priced at around €4 per month, according to early beta screenshots. While Meta has not confirmed the final cost, the move signals a clear shift in how WhatsApp plans to monetize its massive user base.

Ads currently appear in WhatsApp’s Updates tab, where users view Status posts and browse Channels. These include Status Ads that show up after updates and Promoted Channels pushed as recommendations. Under the new subscription, these ads would disappear. Subscribers would no longer see promoted content after status updates, nor would they receive sponsored channel suggestions. Core features such as private messaging, voice calls, and video calls would remain free for all users.

Meta first introduced ads in WhatsApp’s Updates tab in the United States last year and later expanded them to other regions. The company says these ads do not use data from private chats. Instead, ad targeting is based on language, general location, and user activity within the Updates tab. Meta has promoted this system as a way for businesses to reach more than 1.5 billion WhatsApp users.

The paid option aligns with European and UK regulations, which require platforms to give users a choice between ad-supported and paid experiences. Similar subscription models already exist on Facebook and Instagram in these regions.

Subscriptions would be managed through Google Play in-app purchases. Once activated, changes may take up to 15 minutes to apply. It is still unclear whether this will be a standalone WhatsApp subscription or part of a broader Meta Accounts Center plan that could cover multiple apps.

For now, the subscription is optional. Users who stay on the free tier will continue to see ads in the Updates tab. WhatsApp has not shared a launch timeline, saying the feature is still under development and must meet regulatory requirements before release.

In related news, WhatsApp is preparing to replace Tenor with Klipy as a default GIF provider after Tenor announced it will shut down its API on June 30, 2026. The transition, spotted in a recent iOS beta, will happen automatically for users, with Klipy-branded GIFs appearing in chats.

New Casio G-Shock Mudmaster Teams Up With Dakar Rally’s Team Land Cruiser

Casio has announced a new G-Shock GWG-B1000TLC-1A Mudmaster developed with Team Land Cruiser Toyota Auto Body. The design takes inspiration from the Dakar Rally’s night stages. Team Land Cruiser Toyota Auto Body has raced in the Dakar Rally every year since 1995. The watch is all black with sand-textured resin straps that look like desert dunes. A gold band loop represents moonlight across the desert.

The case uses carbon fiber-reinforced resin inside an ion-plated metal exterior made with high-precision forging. Sapphire crystal and double LED lights keep the display readable in tough conditions. The dial has red, blue, and yellow accents copied from rally car navigation systems for quick reading at night.

The watch is radio-controlled (Multiband 6) and solar-powered. Bluetooth provides automatic time adjustments. The triple sensor measures temperature, altitude, and barometric pressure. A compass includes a Location Indicator function. Using the companion app, you can set a destination and the indicator hand at 3 o’clock will point toward it, helping you navigate through sandstorms or low visibility.

Three analog hands work alongside a smaller digital display that shows the date and world time. The watch resists shock, dust, mud, and vibration through cylindrical stainless steel button guards, button shaft gaskets, and a screw-lock crown. αGEL on the module’s sides and bottom absorbs vibrations.

Team Land Cruiser logos appear on the band loop, band, and case back. The case back has multiple facets that reference the rally vehicle’s design. The watch comes in special packaging made from recycled materials.

The watch will launch in February 2026 at £779 in the UK and ¥140,800 (around $889) in Japan. Buyers can register for email updates on Casio’s UK website.

Samsung Exynos 2700 Processor Spotted with 10 Cores and Xclipse 970 GPU

Jan 27, 2026

Just a month after the launch of Samsung‘s latest flagship processor, the Exynos 2600, it looks like the brand has already started testing its successor. This upcoming processor, dubbed the “Exynos 2700” has appeared in an early Geekbench listing, showing a big change from the current Exynos 2600.

The new chip uses a four-cluster CPU design with 10 cores total. It has one core at 2.30GHz, four cores at 2.40GHz, one core at 2.78GHz, and four cores at 2.88GHz. This is different from the Exynos 2600’s three-cluster setup, which has one core at 3.8GHz, three cores at 3.26GHz, and six cores at 2.76GHz.

Tipster Abhishek Yadav identified the chip as the Exynos 2700. The test device ran Android 16 with 12GB of RAM and featured the new Xclipse 970 GPU. This GPU replaces the Xclipse 960 from the Exynos 2600. The Xclipse 970 looks weaker on paper. The listing shows four compute units, a 555MHz maximum frequency, and 1GB of device memory. The Xclipse 960 has eight compute units, a 980MHz peak frequency, and 4GB of device memory. The OpenCL score dropped to 15,618, compared to roughly 25,791 on Exynos 2600 devices.

This result likely comes from an Engineering Reference Device board. These boards are used for early internal testing and run at lower clock speeds with unfinished software. Final retail performance should be higher. Samsung launched the Exynos 2600 in December 2024 with the Galaxy S26 series in select markets. The Exynos 2700 is expected to power future flagship models, though Samsung hasn’t confirmed which devices. The switch to a 10-core, four-cluster design shows Samsung is still testing new processor layouts before launch.

Earlier reports called the Exynos 2700 a key 2027 flagship chip, codenamed Ulysses, likely for the Galaxy S27 series. Previous leaks said it would be built on Samsung Foundry’s second-generation 2nm SF2P process, using Gate-All-Around architecture to improve performance and power efficiency. Rumors also mentioned next-generation ARM C2 CPU cores, advanced thermal packaging, a new AMD-based Xclipse GPU, LPDDR6 memory, and UFS 5.0 storage.

Samsung has launched the Galaxy A07 5G in the Philippines after its initial release in Thailand. The phone is now available on Samsung Philippines’ official website and targets budget buyers who want long software support and a big battery.

The device comes in Light Violet and Black colors. Two storage options are available: the 64GB model costs Php 8,290, while the 128GB version is priced at Php 9,990. Both can be purchased through Samsung’s online store.

The Galaxy A07 5G has a 6.7-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The screen reaches 800 nits of brightness in high brightness mode, which helps with outdoor visibility. The phone runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset and comes with One UI 8.0 installed.

Software support is a major selling point. Samsung will provide six generations of Android OS updates and six years of security patches. This level of support is unusual for budget phones and makes the device viable for long-term use.

The phone packs a 6,000mAh battery for extended usage. The camera setup includes a 50MP primary sensor and a 2MP depth sensor on the back. An 8MP camera handles selfies and video calls on the front.

Other features include IP54 dust and water resistance, Samsung Knox Vault for security, Google Gemini integration, Circle to Search, and Gemini Live with natural speech. The body uses glass fibre reinforced polymer and measures 8.2mm thick. The phone weighs 199 grams.

The Galaxy A07 5G addresses a common problem in budget smartphones where software support ends quickly. The six-year update commitment means the phone will remain secure and functional much longer than typical budget devices.

Vivo X200T vs Motorola Signature: New Flagship Killer Face-Off

Jan 27, 2026

A new Vivo value flagship just made its debut in India. The Vivo X200T just debuted as the rebranded global version of the Vivo X200s, which was first announced in China last year. Packing cutting edge specs and features, this model aims on competing in the highly competitive sub-flagship category. But we recently saw another great entry in this segment with the Motorola Signature. Both start at around Rs 59,999, bringing powerful chipsets, versatile cameras, and long software support, so here’s a side-by-side look at how these stack up across key areas to help you decide which one deserves a place in your pocket.

Prev Next

1. Design: Motorola shines here

Motorola Signature

At first glance, both phones deliver a premium aesthetic, but the execution is distinct in the two flagship killers. The Motorola Signature leans into a sleek, ultra-thin silhouette at just about 6.99mm thickness and approximately 186g weight, giving it a very refined in-hand feel. Its aircraft-grade aluminium frame, paired with a textile-inspired finish, elevates the experience. Despite the slim new design, Motorola still offers military grade durability and an IP68 + IP69 rating for water and dust resistance.

On the other hand, the Vivo X200T has a more typical premium form factor. It measures 7.9mm thick and weighs slightly over 200 grams. While it isn’t as thin and light, the Vivo X200T gets a glass rear panel and aluminum middle frame. The flat back and side should appeal more to users who are looking for something more familiar. It also offers a robust IP68 + IP69 rating for water and dust resistance.

2. Bigger and brighter Signature

Both Motorola and Vivo offer a similar 1.5K AMOLED display, although the Signature has a few advantages. The taller 6.8-inch panel brings LTPO support for better battery efficiency since it lowers to just 1Hz, a higher 165Hz refresh rate, and a peak brightness that hits 6,200 nits (over X200T’s 5000 nits screen). In comparison, the Vivo X200T brings a 6.67-inch display. The Motorola Signature has another edge with security since it offers an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner, over the optical sensor on the X200T.

3. Motorola takes on Vivo & Zeiss

Vivo X200T

The rear camera setup on the Vivo X200T and Motorola Signature is surprisingly similar. The periscope telephoto shooter with 3x zoom and the ultra wide angle lens are basically identical. Both get the Sony LYT600 (1/1.95-inch sensor) for zoom photography, while the ultra wide angle lens is likely the Samsung JN1. Where the main difference lies with the main camera and the tuning. Motorola opts for a flagship grade Sony LYT828 sensor, which is the same camera that is found on much more expensive devices like the Oppo Find X9 Pro and Vivo X300 Pro.

This device also gets Pantone tuning for improved color accuracy, especially with skin tones. Meanwhile, the Vivo X200T has a smaller 1/1.56-inch Sony IMX921 sensor that is found on budget flagship models. So despite Zeiss’ expertise, Motorola has advantages in low light photography, even managing to hit the 7th spot in DxOMark’s smartphone camera rankings. The Signature with a 50MP selfie shooter offers better details as well thanks to autofocus support, which is lacking on the X200T’s 32MP front facing camera.

4. Battery & Charging: Vivo Swings Back

A clear advantage for the Vivo X200T is battery capacity. It has a massive 6,200mAh cell that offers 90W wired and 40W wireless fast charging that promises impressive. While the fast charging is matched by the Motorola Signature with 90W wired and 50W wireless charging support. It has a much smaller 5,200mAh battery pack, since it has a slimmer body. You even get 10W wireless reverse charging support here.

5. Performance & Software

Under the hood, the Motorola Signature is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, one of the fastest mobile chipsets of 2026, that ensures great performance in games, multitasking, and creative workflows. On the other hand, the Vivo X200T counters with MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400+, which offers similar performance levels.

However, Motorola takes the lead with a much longer 7 years of OS updates with a light Hello UI skin. Vivo’s OriginOS 6 is a lot heavier and customizable, but you only get five years of Android updates. So the Signature has better software longevity.

6. Verdict

Both the Vivo X200T and Motorola Signature bring flagship energy to a very competitive price segment in 2026, and they trade blows in performance, display quality, imaging, and battery life. The X200T shines in battery endurance, balanced performance, and Zeiss-tuned imaging, making it an excellent choice for users who value longevity and strong everyday photography. The Motorola Signature, on the other hand, stands out with its premium design, larger and smoother display, superior camera hardware, and cleaner software longevity promise. This positions it as the more complete flagship package.

Jan 27, 2026

Casio has released the G-Shock DW-5900UBB-1 and DW-5900U-1 in the UK, bringing its updated DW-5900 digital watches to a wider audience. Both models launched in Japan earlier in January 2026 and are refreshed versions of the DW-5900BB-1 and DW-5900-1 that were introduced in 2018.

The two watches are now available through Casio’s official UK online store. Each model is priced at £80 and includes free delivery within two to four working days. Casio has also indicated that the watches are expected to be sold at its physical store in London, although availability there has not been fully confirmed.

The DW-5900U series focuses on internal improvements rather than major design changes. Both models use the newer 3536 module, replacing the older 3465 module found in the previous generation. Another key update is the switch from an electroluminescent backlight to a high brightness LED backlight. These changes improve power efficiency and extend the rated battery life from five years to ten years.

The DW-5900U-1 stays close to the original look of the series. It features a black resin case with red and blue accents and a standard light background digital display. The DW-5900UBB-1 takes a more minimal approach with an all black design, a matte finish, and a black background digital display without colored highlights.

Both watches keep the classic DW-5900 face layout. This includes three digital graph indicators positioned across the top of the dial and a larger main display below. Functional features remain unchanged and include world time, a countdown timer, a 1/100 second stopwatch, and support for five daily alarms.

Casio has not shared details on when the DW-5900UBB-1 and DW-5900U-1 will be released in other parts of Europe or in markets such as the United States.
