Dubbed as the “King of AI Selfies”, the HUAWEI nova 14 Series ushers a bolder, new age self-expression for the younger market powered by smarter and faster photography.
Meanwhile, the HUAWEI MatePad 12 X (2026) delivers a 4-in-1 all-round productivity and PC-level features.

HUAWEI nova 14 Series
With the new series, HUAWEI makes their strongest leap yet for self-capture imaging performance.
The nova 14 Pro, in particular, has a 50MP Front AI Portrait Dual Camera. It can capture images with a 0.8x to 5x zoom range, letting users shift from close-ups to wide group shots.
This is also reinforced by AI features, including AI Best Expression and AI Beauty Effect.
On the rear side, the nova 14 Pro sports a new Ultra Chroma Camera which captures richly-detailed multispectral light far beyond traditional RGB cameras.
The shooter also has an adjustable F1.4 to F4.0 aperture and RYYB sensor. Moreover, Adaptive Multi-Focal Dual Flash adjusts flash dynamically to ensure photos remain perfectly lit.
HUAWEI MatePad 12 X (2026)
Those needing a premium productivity tool, meanwhile, can consider the HUAWEI MatePad 12 X (2026).
It is built to deliver a PC-level experience together with its accessories (M-Pencil Pro, keyboard, mouse). Be it signing documents, reviewing or editing coursework, getting creative, playing games, and binge-watching, the latest tablet can keep up with several tasks.
The slate features a 12-inch 3rd Gen ultra-clear PaperMatte Display with anti-glare, anti-reflection, and anti-fingerprint technology. This panel has a 2800 x 1840 resolution and up to 1000 nits of peak brightness.
Powered by NearLink technology, the MatePad 12 X (2026) is compatible with the new M-Pencil Pro. This stylus has new intelligent features, including pinch and rotate, along with a new Star Ring quick button.
Inside the tablet is a 10100mAh battery for up to 14 hours of video playback. This battery supports 66W HUAWEI SuperCharge for quick refueling.
Before the new year starts, it’s already fair to assume that Supergirl might be one of the most anticipated movies of 2026. Premiering a year after the globally successful Superman, Supergirl will see the adventures of Clark Kent’s superpowered cousin, Kara Zor-El. Now, the next film in the sage finally has a teaser trailer.
As James Gunn mentioned previously, Supergirl will be based on Tom King’s Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. Off traveling to other planets to party, Kara finds herself thrust back into the role of being a hero after a young girl named Ruthye Mary Knoll asks her for help.
Though the teaser trailer is mostly a montage of scenes, we already know what we can expect. According to Gunn, Supergirl will be tonally different from Superman, and we see this in the trailer.
However, we can still see influences from Gunn including the usage of “Call Me” by Blondie for the trailer. Also, the film’s space scenes look like they can fit right in with Guardians of the Galaxy.
Still, that’s what we have, and we’re excited. Supergirl will premiere on June 26, 2026.
The film will be directed by Craig Gillespie (Cruella). Milly Alcock plays the titular character. Meanwhile, she will star alongside Eve Ridley as Ruthye Mary Knoll.

TNT has been recognized for having the Best Mobile Latency, according to network intelligence and connectivity insights company Ookla, which is known for its internet speed tests.
Based on Ookla analysis for Q1 to Q2 2025, TNT’s network, powered by Smart, led with a median latency of 45.89 milliseconds (ms) for all network technologies.
(NOTE: Mobile latency measures how quickly data travels over a network; the lower the latency, the faster the response)
This enables users to tap, click, and swipe on their favorite apps in real-time. For streaming and mobile gaming, it also means a smoother experience.
Be it MOBA titles like Mobile Legends: Bang Bang or FPS games like Call of Duty Mobile, which both need real-time responsiveness, TNT allows gamers to make their best moves without worrying about lag.
Binge-watchers, meanwhile, can enjoy their favorite series, vlogs, and micro-dramas without buffering. On the other hand, students and professionals can attend online meetings or quick calls using just mobile data.
Furthermore, online live sellers and shoppers can also enjoy real-time transactions, ensuring their favorite items make it to the cart without delay.
Such low latency is also crucial for those who love scoring flash deals or vouchers where those who are among the first to click win discounts.
Users who want to level up their experience can switch to TNT by getting a TNT SIM or eSIM at accredited retailers and convenience stores. They may also do so via the Smart Online Store.
Subscribers from other networks can also easily switch to TNT without changing their number through Mobile Number Portability (MNP).
