On April 24, 2025, Dreame Technology, a global innovator in smart home technology, officially planted its first flag in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region by opening its first-ever flagship store at Dubai Hills Mall.

The flagship store itself isn’t just a showroom. It’s a modern, minimalist space where smart living takes center stage. Warm textured walls, sleek displays, and interactive demo zones invite visitors to get hands-on with Dreame’s latest innovations, experiencing firsthand how smart technology can make everyday life feel effortless — and just a little futuristic.

Dreame took things further by hosting a full-fledged launch event shortly after, just across town at the sleek Address Beach Resort — because why not kick off your MEA debut with a double feature?

Rolling Out the Future: Dreame’s Strategic Smart Home Lineup

At the Address Beach Resort, Dreame wasted no time unveiling its Strategic Smart Home lineup. It’s packed with enough innovation to make even Tony Stark jealous.

Leading the charge was the X50 Ultra Complete (X50 UC) — drum roll — the world’s first robotic vacuum with retractable legs. No, this isn’t science fiction. This vacuum can literally adjust its height to climb over carpets, thresholds, and obstacles with ease.

Powered by Dreame’s ProLeap™ System and VersaLift Navigation, the X50 UC isn’t just smart — it’s practically self-aware. Oh, and did we mention it also packs 20,000Pa suction power? That’s strong enough to clean up your bad life decisions (okay, not really, but it’ll keep your floors spotless).

Also making headlines was the launch of the H15 Pro Wet and Dry Vacuum, flexing the world’s first AI-powered robotic arm. This clever feature automatically closes the gap between the vacuum and the floor, so it can clean right up to your walls — no crumbs left behind. Add to that piping-hot 100°C water cleaning and a self-washing system, and you’ve got a floor-cleaning experience that’s smarter (and frankly more dedicated) than most of us on a Monday morning.

Dreame’s product parade didn’t stop there. They also introduced:

The Z30 Cordless Stick Vacuum: their most powerful stick yet with a 310AW TurboMotor™ and HEPA H14 filtration.
The AirStyle Pro: a 7-in-1 hair styling tool for those who want great hair without frying it to a crisp.
The PM20 Air Purifier: smart enough to adjust airflow based on your movement — it’s basically the Fitbit of clean air.

While the technical specs were impressive, Dreame made sure the focus stayed on real-world benefits — smarter cleaning, healthier homes, and effortless living — without drowning attendees in engineering jargon.

More Than Just a Store — A Smart Start for the Region

While the products were undeniably the stars of the day, the bigger story is that Dreame has officially kicked off its journey in the MEA market — and this launch is just the beginning. The Dubai Hills Mall flagship is Dreame’s first step toward a wider regional presence, with plans already in motion to open a second store at Mall of the Emirates by July 2025. Smarter homes, it seems, are about to go mainstream — and fast.

Ready to Experience It?

The full Dreame lineup is available now at the Dubai Hills Mall flagship store — but if mall-hopping isn’t your thing, you can also shop Dreame’s smart home innovations online through Amazon, Noon, Sharaf DG, and more major retailers across the UAE.

Indeed, smart living is just a Dreame away.

Last month, Mercedes-Benz Philippines kicked off its 140^th -anniversary “Welcome Home” campaign. Designed to celebrate the iconic Chedeng and introduce a new generation to the brand, the campaign attracts old and new customers alike. Now, the brand’s 140^th year is also hitting history buffs with a special showcase at the Presidential Car Museum in Quezon City.

Since President Cory Aquino’s term, the official presidential car has been a Benz, offering comfort and protection for the current head of state. It is here where Mercedes-Benz wants to celebrate the legacy of the brand, especially in the annals of Philippine history.

Amid the cars of Presidents Aquino, Ramos, Estrada, and Macapagal-Arroyo, Mercedes-Benz is displaying a replica of the Benz Patent-Motorwagen Replica, which is the world’s first automobile introduced by Karl Benz in 1886. The replica will be on display until December 2026.

Outside the Presidential Car Museum, Mercedes-Benz is running discounts through the end of July. There are also special aftersales services for those who already own a Benz. Finally, the brand will continue to run activations throughout the anniversary, so expect to hear a lot more about the Chedeng throughout the year.

Samsung releases teaser with Spider-Man: Brand New Day Easter eggs

Spot also teases upcoming Galaxy foldable devices

Samsung has just premiered a new spot that showcases clips directly from Spider-Man: Brand New Day, just a few weeks before the movie hits cinemas later this month.

The clip showcases Spider-Man as he fights crime and puts his phone through the wear and tear of superhero life.

In the spot, the Fabricator creates a number of devices for Spider-Man built to stand up to the pace and unpredictability of life behind the mask. This includes what clearly looks like a Galaxy Z Flip phone.

This provides a behind the scenes look into how Peter Parker ultimately landed on a Samsung phone — as fans speculated from the first trailer.

Meanwhile, Ned can also be seen using the Spidey Tracker to try and catch Spider-Man throughout the city on his Samsung phone.

The campaign pretty much formalizes Jacob Batalon — who plays Ned Leeds — as Samsung’s Team Galaxy’s newest ambassador.

The clip ends with the text “A brand new shape for a Brand New Day”, which is also a callback to what the brand has been teasing regarding the future of its Galaxy foldable devices.

Samsung to release latest devices at Galaxy Unpacked

Next week, Samsung is set to launch its latest devices at Galaxy Unpacked 2026.

Ahead of the launch, customers who wish to reserve as early as now can get a US$ 30 credit during pre-order, for a total of up to US$ 1,230 in savings.

Customers can also enter a sweepstakes for a chance to win one of 10 US$ 500 Samsung.com gift cards towards their purchase.

iOS 27 public beta gives us our first taste of Siri AI

You can access the beta for free.

Normally, public betas come and go with nary a peep from anyone but dedicated fans and testers. After all, why care about a beta when the final release is likely just around the corner? This one, however, is special. Today, Apple launched the iOS 27 public beta, and it’s our first taste of the redesigned Siri AI.

Recently, WWDC 2026 unveiled Apple’s latest attempts at entering the AI segment. Whereas previous iterations to incorporate AI failed to make an impact, Siri AI promises to provide users with helpful feedback that’s actually helpful.

Now, in the public beta for iOS 27, users all over can finally access the new assistant. To get to the beta, you need to be a part of the beta program, which you can easily sign up for on beta.apple.com. Once signed up, you can get the update from Software Update in Settings. You’ll see options for a developer beta and a public beta. Choose iOS 27 Public Beta.

At face value, Siri AI offers much of what you’d get from a traditional AI-powered assistant. However, it does slightly differ because it integrates the entire phone. The assistant contextualizes your information (including emails, messages, and photos) to give you the most accurate feedback that you might need.

If that’s not enough, Siri AI also has its own chatbot app. If you’re more used to ChatGPT, the assistant should give you that bit of familiarity.

Now, if you don’t want to go for a beta, Apple is expected to launch iOS 27 in its final form sometime in September.
