gamescom Asia 2024 will be held in Singapore from October 17 to 20, 2024. More anticipated Capcom titles will be playable during the event.
One is Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, where visitors can put themselves in the shoes of zombie-hunting photojournalist Frank West.
By that time, the title will have been already released digitally for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam. The physical PlayStation 5 version, meanwhile, will release in November 2024.
Furthermore, Capcom is hosting the best Street Fighter 6 players in the region for the Capcom Pro Tour Super Premier Singapore.
The Super Premier winners will qualify for the Capcom Cup 11, moving a step closer to the US$ 1 million jackpot prize.
An all-in-one device is a pipe dream for many. Imagine a device that can turn into a tablet, a laptop, a phone, and a console with the flip of a switch. As showcased during MWC 2026, Lenovo wants you to stop imagining. A new concept called the Legion Go Fold is an all-around device you can take with you on travels.
On account of the lineup it’s associated with, the Legion Go Fold is, first and foremost, a handheld gaming console. Normally, it’s a sizable 7.7-inch screen you can attach the Legion Go’s recognizable controllers to.
However, as the “Fold” in its name is hinting, the screen can be unfolded into a much larger screen. At its quirkiest, the concept looks like a vertical tablet with controllers attached to either side. Lenovo says that this is best used in split-screen mode where you can split the display between a game and other media such as a walkthrough video.
Alternatively, you can just rotate the screen horizontally and attach the controllers to play with the maxed out 11.6-inch display.
Finally, the Legion Go Fold can be used as a laptop via the detached screen and an included wireless keyboard. Like the other devices in the Legion Go lineup, the right controller can be used as a makeshift mouse.
Because it’s a concept, the Legion Go Fold isn’t close to being released yet. However, it’s a good evolution of what the Legion Go can already do. As we said in previous reviews, the lineup can technically be a work laptop in a pinch. This just makes it easier.

Xiaomi Vision Gran Turismo makes global debut at MWC 2026
Tech giant becomes first technology brand in Vision GT program
Xiaomi has unveiled the full-scale concept model of the Xiaomi Vision Gran Turismo or Xiaomi Vision GT at MWC 2026 in Barcelona, Spain. This marks the company’s official entry into the elite Vision Gran Turismo project.
Created for the legendary Gran Turismo franchise, the electric hypercar concept represents the first time a technology company has been invited to participate in the Vision GT program. Xiaomi now joins a select group of global automakers, becoming the 36th brand to take part and the creator of the 51st Vision Gran Turismo concept overall.
The project began at the GT World Series in London, where series producer Kazunori Yamauchi personally invited Xiaomi to design its own Vision GT car. For Xiaomi’s global EV design team, the opportunity meant rethinking hypercar development from a technology-first perspective, blending advanced aerodynamics with AI-driven intelligence.
Sculpted by the wind
At the core of Xiaomi Vision Gran Turismo is aerodynamic balance. Instead of chasing extreme low drag or maximum downforce alone, Xiaomi pursued efficiency between the two.
The concept follows a “Sculpted by the Wind” philosophy. Its teardrop cockpit silhouette, integrated air ducts, and airfoil-shaped structural elements guide airflow seamlessly from front to rear. The body avoids excessive add-ons, relying instead on built-in aerodynamic solutions.
Signature design elements serve dual purposes. Cross-shaped headlights integrate into the airflow system, while the halo-shaped taillight sits within a massive rear air outlet. An Active Wake Control System surrounds the rear with micro-perforations that manage turbulent air using real-time speed and angle data.
The Accretion Rims feature vortex-style wheel covers that remain visually stationary while the car is in motion, reducing drag from rotating surfaces. Internal turbine fins help cool the brakes during operation.
Through iterative simulation testing, Xiaomi says the concept achieves a drag coefficient of 0.29, downforce of negative 1.2, and an aerodynamic efficiency rating of 4.1 — figures that highlight balance rather than extremes.
A “sofa racer” interior
Inside, Xiaomi departs from the rigid, track-focused cabins typical of hypercars. The “Sofa Racer” concept emphasizes comfort without sacrificing control.
A ring-shaped cockpit architecture wraps around the driver, blending dashboard, doors, and seats into one continuous structure. Breathable 3D-knitted fabric materials aim to provide both support and warmth.
At the center is Xiaomi Pulse, an intelligent assistant integrated into the dashboard. Working alongside Xiaomi HyperVision and the company’s HyperOS platform, the system adapts displays and interactions based on driving mode and environmental data. Physical controls remain tactile and precise, including an infinite-shaped steer-by-wire wheel.
The concept also integrates into Xiaomi’s broader “Human × Car × Home” ecosystem. Powered by XiaoAi AI Assistant and the Xiaomi MiMo foundational model, the car connects with personal devices and smart home products, positioning itself as part of a unified digital lifestyle.
Xiaomi has also envisioned a companion driving simulator designed as furniture for the home, extending the Vision Gran Turismo experience beyond the vehicle itself.
Yamauchi praised the project, noting how the design successfully resolves the tension between low drag and high downforce. Further details about the car’s arrival in Gran Turismo 7 will be announced at a later date.
With its Vision Gran Turismo debut, Xiaomi signals a broader ambition: redefining the electric hypercar through AI integration, ecosystem connectivity, and aerodynamic precision.
MWC 2026
TECNO showcases cool concepts at MWC 2026
Modular hardware tech, new ecosystem, unique phone designs
At MWC 2026 Barcelona, TECNO showcased not just its readily available products but also interesting concepts ranging from new designs to modular hardware tech.
These explorations seek to push the boundaries of what’s possible in terms of AI integration and the overall evolution of device ecosystems.
Modular Magnetic Interconnection Technology
On top of over 10 concepts and an absolute headliner is the Modular Magnetic Interconnection Technology. It does sound like a mouthful but in essence, it’s a collection of hardware pieces that can be easily attached to address the gap between expanding AI capabilities and physical space.
From stackable battery modules to action cameras to dedicated telephoto lenses, TECNO has over a dozen components comprising its Customizable Modular Suite. Basically, users can add or remove modules as needed, rather than concentrating all capabilities within the device itself.
From the looks of it, it seems the suite is compatible with the TECNO POVA series. But who knows.
POVA Ecosystem
TECNO is also working on the POVA Ecosystem, comprised of the POVA Metal, POVA Controller Slide, and POVA Earphone.
The POVA Metal is the world’s first full-metal unibody 5G phone. It has a futuristic all-metal construction and a Snapdragon processor.
Complementing this is the Controller Slide, which is set to become the first controller that supports targeted aiming in MOBA titles. It supports a 0 to 25-degree adjustable viewing angle.
This physical controller is both FPS and MOBA-optimized, and allows wireless charging.
Lastly, the POVA Earphone comes with a futuristic design and signature dot-matrix light elements.
Together, the ecosystem’s devices allow users to reconfigure their digital experience based on context.
Edge-Side AIGC Preview Concept Technology
Moreover, the Edge-Side AI is part of TECNO’s broader AI strategy. It tries to resolve key barriers in popularizing generative AI, which are connectivity, latency, and compute density.
The concept is the brand’s latest edge-side AI achievement which could also potentially popularize AI across device tiers.
In partnership with Arm, TECNO developed a customized Style Transfer Preview technology that uses algorithmic optimization to decrease screen flickering and jitters.
The result is real-time preview at 30fps and a fluid split-screen viewfinder experience. TECNO has also compressed models to run fully offline on smartphones while preserving artistic fidelity and ensuring stable performance ready for everyday use.
More concepts
At their booth, TECNO has also presented multiple other explorations into product design and user experience.
There’s the POVA Neon which is the first to adopt ionized inert gas lighting technology in a smartphone form. This results in a distinct glowing effect on the back of the phone.
AI EINK, on the other hand, offers a paper-like visual experience. Through AI recognition, TECNO devices will analyze colors captured by the camera to match the back panel. Further customization and personalization shall be enabled through a dedicated app.
TECNO will eventually try to roll out a reimagined design language for an entire suite of devices, including a laptop, tablet, earbuds, smartwatch, smart glasses, and power bank. Themed “Music in Motion”, the collection provides a fresh, modular twist in design.
Lastly, the PHANTOM Ultimate G Tri-Fold Concept, first introduced in July last year, also made an appearance at MWC 2026.
The TECNO booth is located at Stand 7A40, Hall 7, Fira Gran Via. It is available to visit from March 2 to 5.
