Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra flagships yesterday. The company is also working on the Galaxy A57 and Galaxy A37 mid-rangers, and has been for quite some time judging by the number of leaks we've seen about them so far.
The two are definitely launching soon, though, and today their mandatory EU Energy Labels have appeared. These show 52-hour battery life for the A57 and 53 hours for the Galaxy A37, and both phones will be IP68 certified for dust and water resistance. That's up from IP67 on their predecessors.

Nothing has already announced a launch event taking place in London on March 5 for the Phone (4a) series. Today, the company has also confirmed that the Nothing Headphone (a) will also be unveiled at the same time, as has been rumored before.
The Nothing Headphone (a) will complement the Nothing Headphone (1) in the company's portfolio as a more affordable option, if past rumors were accurate. Like the Headphone (1), the Headphone (a) is over-ear.
The company promises we can expect "bold colorways" on the Headphone (a) and the longest battery life of any Nothing audio product to...
Alongside the brand-new Watch GT Runner 2, Huawei unveiled its Band 11 series and also expanded the availability of its FreeBuds Pro 5 flagship wireless earbuds.

Oppo is bragging about the crease-less display on the upcoming Find N6 ahead of its launch in March. That is still a couple of weeks away, but the company let reporters visit its production line, offering a rare glimpse behind the scenes.
The N6 design is the result of three years of work and dozens of prototypes. The refined assembly process includes dozens of new inspection steps to ensure that each component is installed within a tolerance of 0.03mm.
The size of the crease on a foldable phone is not a constant thing – it tends to become bigger with use. However, Oppo has set up an...

TCL CSOT has a tradition of bringing cool new display technologies to the MWC and the 2026 edition is no different. This year, the company is debuting its Super Pixel Technology and showing off advances in Inkjet-printed OLED displays.
The core innovation of Super Pixel displays is how they differ from the most popular type of OLED displays available today that rely on sub-pixel rendering (SPR). TCL adds just 1.8% more sub-pixels than a typical SPR display would have but achieves higher sharpness and draws a clearer image.
SPR displays need to use sub-pixels from neighboring pixels to...
Tecno has combined one popular trend from the past – modular phones – with one trend that is popular now – ultra-slim phones – to create the Tecno Modular Phone. This is a concept built on the company’s Modular Magnetic Interconnection Technology and is being showcased at the MWC as a platform for future innovations.
The core idea is this – current smartphones lock you into a particular set of hardware features. To get new hardware, you have to replace the whole phone. This concept system lets you add and swap components on a day-by-day and even minute-by-minute basis depending on what you...
Last year, Luna introduced its Gen 2 smart ring. Now, the company is launching a major upgrade that will make the ring “the world’s first wearable you can truly talk to.”
In short, you can use voice commands to log events throughout your day – what you ate, what you drank, the supplements that you took, any workouts that you did, even subjective feelings. Previously, you had to pull out your phone to do that. That extra bit of friction could cause you to put it off for later and forget to log important things.
