Globe pushing for more growth this 2026
At the most recent edition of its quarterly event, The Blueprint, Globe Telecom bared key initiatives as they emphasized reliable, affordable, and accessible connectivity as a national lifeline.
The program themed “Every Filipino Connected” highlighted initiatives to further strengthen digital inclusion across the country.
Among the event’s key announcements was the network provider’s partnership with Starlink’s Direct-to-Cell satellite technology. After a successful pilot trial, Globe plans to expand testing to more areas, aiming to extend coverage to such challenging locations.
As for the calendar year, Globe outlined some of their strategies, reflecting these three pillars: “Connectivity You Can Count On”, Connectivity for Every Filipino”, and “Experience Globe Connectivity”.
Globe is also introducing key initiatives focused on customers, businesses, and communities to enrich everyday experiences.
First, Globe Business introduced enterprise solutions, including a managed data streaming platform, with Confluent and the Globe Omnichannel Cloud Contact Center. These are designed to lower barriers to AI-powered engagement.
Meanwhile, Globe At Home advanced its “Built-in Broadband” initiative by integrating fiber ports into new property developments. Bundled offers under Globe Mobile and Globe At Home Advantage provide up to PhP 500 in savings as well.
Moreover, Globe’s budget sub-brand TM celebrated its 25th anniversary nationwide with promos and caravans.
Lastly, the company has expanded its premium portfolio with Platinum GPlan and PAL Mabuhay Miles promos. This makes the network provider the first in the market to reward customers with airline miles.
MWC 2026
Upcoming HONOR devices to feature better Apple interconnectivity
Transfer without limits with HONOR Share
HONOR is redefining cross-OS connectivity with the effortless integration of Apple devices through its three upcoming flagship devices.
At MWC 2026 Barcelona, HONOR will be launching three premium AI-powered devices: the Magic V6, MagicPad4, and MagicBook Pro 14.
These devices will come with an industry-leading cross-OS solution. Such integration enables seamless interaction with an even wider Apple ecosystem which includes the iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
HONOR Share has been supporting transfers to Apple devices for a while now, and this integration will expand what is currently possible.
Among the features are OneTap file transfer with iPhone and Mac for fast and intuitive transfer of photos, videos, and files directly from the Magic V6 to a Mac.
Meanwhile, the MagicPad4 can also enable photo and video transfer both to and from an iPhone. But more than that, the tablet can function as an extended display for the Mac to support tasks like editing.
Furthermore, the MagicBook Pro 14 2026 can transfer images and documents quickly to iPhones and iPads with just a simple click of HONOR Share.
Such integrations make the HONOR flagship devices more than just standalone devices. With consumers operating across platforms, HONOR is ensuring being a topnotch choice for open and fluid connectivity.
MWC 2026
HONOR to unveil humanoid robot, more at MWC 2026
‘Believe in the magic’ as HONOR advances Alpha Plan vision
HONOR will reveal its first humanoid robot at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) Barcelona 2026.
It hasn’t been a year since HONOR announced entering robotics development, and soon, the manufacturer will officially have its first humanoid robot.
The appearance of the robot can already be previewed in HONOR’s 39-second teaser clip below:
Notably, the narration says “Believe in the magic”. This could suggest HONOR is also naming the robot after its flagship series.
This is on top of the much anticipated HONOR Robot Phone, which has been previewed as early as October 2025 (and also seen on the clip).
This AI-powered robot phone features a built-in, 3-axis gimbal which supports the camera system and can “interact” with the user.
HONOR will also officially announce the HONOR Magic V6, its latest flagship foldable with enhanced durability, larger battery, and even slimmer design.
Plus, two more AI-powered devices will join the ecosystem: the HONOR MagicPad4 and HONOR MagicBook Pro 14. These boost productivity with superior performance in ultra-slim form factors.
All aforementioned products advance HONOR’s Alpha Plan vision of a synergized human-machine future.
They will officially be unveiled during HONOR’s Keynote Launch Event themed “Believers in AI Future” on March 1.
It will be held at the Palau de Congressos de Barcelona starting at 1:00 PM CET.
Samsung’s most advanced AI-powered PC lineup yet, the Samsung Galaxy Book6 series, will be available in the United States starting March 11.
The Samsung Galaxy Book6 Ultra, Book6 Pro, and Book6 are all powered by Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors to deliver improved CPU, GPU, and NPU performance.
Galaxy AI features like AI Select and Intelligent Search streamline workflows, while Multi-Control and Second Screen enable seamless productivity across Galaxy devices.
Users can connect the Galaxy Book6 series to their Galaxy smartphone or tablet for multi-screen productivity. This includes accessing one’s phone storage straight from the Book6 PC.
And similar to Circle to Search on Galaxy mobile devices, the upcoming PCs have a feature wherein users can just trace whatever is on their screen and search.
In addition, the series combines ultra-thin designs with up to 30 hours of video playback.

Here are the pricing of the three devices under the series:
- Galaxy Book6 Ultra: Starts at US$ 2,449.99
