ZTE Nubia’s Alpha wearable is basically a phone on your wrist
Complete with a flexible display
This year’s MWC is all about 5G connectivity and tablets that fold (or unfold) into a phone. What if we dial back a bit and put the flexible display tech into something smaller like a wearable? Not everyone likes to bring a tablet around, so ZTE’s Nubia did something different: a wearable smartphone with a display that wraps around your wrist.
This is the Nubia Alpha. It’s essentially a smartwatch but with more functionalities and features. It’s got a four-inch OLED display that’s claimed to be the “largest wearable flexible screen in the industry” and the entire device is water-resistant.
Inside the Alpha is the old Snapdragon Wear 2100 processor from Qualcomm paired with 1GB of memory and 8GB of internal storage. It also has a 500mAh battery which is rated to last up to two days on a single charge.

What makes this wearable practically a smartphone is its 4G eSIM support. This means you’ll be able to text, call, and even browse the web without pairing the watch with a nearby smartphone. To complete its “smartphone” features, the Alpha has a 5-megapixel camera as well for video calling.
The device also doubles as a fitness tracker. It can detect and track your sleep, exercise, and heart rate. All of these features are handled by a custom-made wearable OS that you interact with using touch, voice commands, and air gestures.
The Nubia Alpha is indeed a unique device that’s more than just a smartwatch, but it’s not quite a full-blown smartphone. It’ll be sold starting at EUR 449 for the basic Bluetooth-only model, while the 4G eSIM variant will go for EUR 549. For those who want to add luxury to the Alpha, it’ll come coated in 18-karat gold for EUR 649.
According to Nubia, the Bluetooth-only model will become available sometime in April in Europe and North America. The smartphone-esque features though will only come to the market in the third quarter of 2019.

Dune: Part Three teaser trailer: First look at Robert Pattinson’s Scytale
In cinemas this December
The countdown is officially on as Warner Bros. Pictures has released the teaser trailer for Dune: Part Three.
The epic conclusion to Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune” trilogy opens in cinemas and IMAX this December.
In addition, character posters have also been released. Here are some, courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures:
The highly anticipated film stars Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Jason Momoa, Javier Bardem, Rebecca Ferguson, Florence Pugh, Robert Pattinson, Anya Taylor-Joy and Isaach De Bankolé.
The trailer, meanwhile, gives an excellent first look at Pattinson as the main antagonist of the final installment, Scytale.
In the final movie, the plot jumps ahead 17 years after Chalamet’s Paul Atreides ascended to the throne.
There will be a dramatic change in the tone from the first two films, focusing more on psychological thriller instead of a war epic, given the visuals of the previous two installments.
Atreides is now a battle-hardened Emperor, struggling with the “Holy War” that has claimed 61 million lives.
Worse, Scytale will lead a conspiracy from within that attempts to overthrow the protagonist’s empire.
Pattinson’s character will mess with Atreides’ head instead of pure brawns, in a bid to wear him down. This presents the central conflict of the upcoming film.

Why the OPPO Reno15 5G series is a creator’s essential
4K Ultra-Steady, 50MP groufies, and AI edits in one device.
There are two kinds of travel essentials: the ones you pack because you have to, and the ones you pack because they make the story better.
Often, we feel forced to choose between traveling light and bringing the bulky gear necessary to document the trip properly.
On your next trip, the OPPO Reno15 5G Series eliminates that compromise. With a thoughtful mix of hardware and software, it becomes your pocket-sized production crew, ready to capture life as it unfolds.
The crew in your pocket
The first rule of travel is to keep things light, but for a creator, “light” cannot mean lower quality.
Whether you are navigating crowded night markets or chasing the golden hour on a steep, adventurous rooftop, the 4K Ultra Steady feature ensures your footage looks composed even when the environment is chaotic.

This stabilization changes the energy of a travel vlog, turning handheld montages into polished, cinematic clips that are ready for a Reel the moment you hit save.

Capturing everything and everyone
Travel stories are built on shared memories, but too often, the person behind the lens is left out.
Group shots often become a messy scramble to squeeze everyone into a tight frame. The 50MP Selfie Camera changes that outcome with its 0.6x ultra-wide-angle mode
It captures the entire group with sharp detail across the frame, ensuring no one is relegated to the blurry edges.
Even if you need to crop the image later for a specific social media layout, faces remain clear and the background stays defined.
The result is a “groufie” that feels complete and professional
Scroll-stopping memories
We often summarize our trips through collages: layered photos that tell a single story.
The AI Motion Photo Popout tool brings a new dimension to these memories. With a few taps in the Gallery, the subject separates from the background to create a sophisticated, layered effect.
These edits serve as the perfect foundation for Instagram Story covers, Reel thumbnails, or high-quality personal wallpapers.
It’s a subtle digital adjustment that makes a visible difference in how your audience experiences your journey.
Reliability for the modern creator.
A smartphone is no longer just a gadget; it is a creative partner. The OPPO Reno15 Series 5G features a sleek design that looks at home beside a passport or a boarding pass.
It’s light enough for long days of exploration but polished enough for high-end city trips. The reliable battery life supports early flights, full-day itineraries, and even late-night uploads.
You’ll spend less time searching for an outlet and more time capturing the moments that matter.
Which OPPO Reno15 Series 5G is your GadgetMatch?
The series offers variants designed to fit your specific creative style.
Pick the OPPO Reno15 5G if you want a balanced everyday companion, and if you want flexibility and reliability without overcomplicating the process.
There’s the OPPO Reno15 Pro; the choice for creators where photography and videography are the main event, offering enhanced tools in a compact form.
But if you’re a value-conscious traveler who wants a practical entry point that provides core camera and AI features, then the OPPO Reno15 F 5G is your GadgetMatch.
Whichever you choose, the series proves that a travel accessory can do more than complement an outfit. It preserves your stories because it doubles as a content creator’s must-have tool.
The OPPO Reno15 Series 5G is now available in OPPO stores nationwide and the OPPO Online Store.
