With wider woofer, smarter ANC

Galaxy Buds4

At its February Unpacked event in San Francisco, Samsung unveiled the new Galaxy Buds4 series, headlined by the Galaxy Buds4 Pro. The focus this year is simple: deliver sound as the artist intended, then make it adapt intelligently to real life.

The Galaxy Buds4 Pro introduces a new wider woofer that increases effective speaker area by nearly 20 percent compared to the previous generation. Paired with a tweeter, the two-way system supports 24-bit/96kHz audio for richer detail, deeper bass, and cleaner highs. From orchestral strings to low, resonant bass lines, Samsung says this is its most powerful hi-fi tuning yet.

Smarter ANC

The hardware upgrade works alongside enhanced Adaptive EQ and Active Noise Cancellation. The Buds4 series analyzes wearing conditions and ear shape in real time, applying optimized ANC algorithms to reduce noise leakage and maintain balanced sound. Whether you’re on a plane, train, or bus, low-frequency engine noise is reduced while vocals and instruments stay clear.

Super Clear Call

Call quality also gets a boost. Super Clear Call uses super wideband technology and machine learning-based noise reduction to double the bandwidth of conventional Bluetooth calls. Even in loud environments, voices remain crisp and natural.

Blade design

Design plays an equally important role this generation. Samsung introduces a refined “blade” identity shaped by analyzing hundreds of millions of global ear data points and running over 10,000 simulations. The result is a smaller earbud head for improved stability and long-wear comfort. A metal-finished blade includes a clearly marked pinch control area, while a new transparent clamshell cradle makes charging and storage more intuitive.

The Galaxy Buds4 Pro adopts a canal-fit design for maximum immersion. The standard Galaxy Buds4 uses an open-fit approach for a lighter, more breathable feel. Both models come in White and Black matte finishes, with an online-exclusive Pink Gold option for the Pro.

Works with AI agents

Within the Galaxy ecosystem, integration runs deeper. Users can activate AI agents like Bixby, Google Gemini, and Perplexity hands-free. The Buds4 Pro also adds Head Gesture controls for managing calls and triggering actions without reaching for your phone.

Price and availability

In the Philippines, the Galaxy Buds4 Pro is priced at Php 14,990, while the Galaxy Buds4 comes in at Php 11,490. Pre-orders begin today, with general availability starting March 11 alongside the Galaxy S26 series.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Series now official

With pre-order, pricing, and availability

Samsung has announced the Galaxy S26 Series, introducing refinements across design, performance, and AI-driven features.

The lineup consists of three models: Galaxy S26 Ultra (6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X), Galaxy S26+ (6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X), and Galaxy S26 (6.3-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X). All models support 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rates, with the Ultra offering S Pen compatibility.

The S26 Ultra leads with a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy processor (3nm), while the S26 and S26+ use Samsung’s Exynos 2600 (2nm). Memory configurations reach up to 16GB RAM on the Ultra, with storage options up to 1TB.

Battery capacities remain consistent with previous generations: 5,000mAh on the Ultra, 4,900mAh on the Plus, and 4,300mAh on the base model. Charging improves on the Ultra with Super Fast Charging 3.0 (60W), capable of reaching approximately 75 percent in 30 minutes. Wireless charging and PowerShare functionality remain available.

Camera systems focus on computational improvements. The Ultra retains a 200MP main sensor with enhanced AI processing, stabilization, and Nightography optimizations. Generative editing tools and Audio Eraser features expand multimedia capabilities, including third-party app support for noise reduction.

Privacy Display and Private Album introduce additional privacy controls. Privacy Display restricts viewing angles at the pixel level and can be customized per app, addressing concerns about screen visibility in public spaces.

Design refinements emphasize cohesion. All models share a unified corner radius and updated material choices aimed at improving durability and heat dissipation. The Ultra is slimmer and lighter than its predecessor.

Pre-order, pricing, and availability in the Philippines

Pre-orders open February 26, 2026, with official availability following in March. Promotional offers include storage upgrades, discounts on accessories, and trade-in incentives.

Pricing in the Philippines starts at PHP58,990 for the Galaxy S26 (256GB), PHP74,990 for the Galaxy S26+ (256GB), and PHP86,990 for the Galaxy S26 Ultra (256GB). Higher storage tiers reach PHP121,990 for the 1TB Ultra variant.

Samsung positions the S26 Series as an evolution rather than a revolution — emphasizing usability, AI integration, and incremental refinement.

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.

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.
