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.

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.

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...
