In Europe the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Design will retail for EUR 3,499.00, which when converted to Philippine Pesos will be around ₱211K, and checking the Huawei Philippine website, the company is now accepting pre-orders with a ₱5,000.00 deposit, though the exact price of the tri-fold smartphone is not listed.

*Rumored
As for the pricetag, it’ll be SAR 12,999.00, which is just SAR 249.00 shy of what we speculated from the last article.
It appears that a new Apple product announcement may be coming as early as February, as Apple CEO Tim Cook teased that the company welcomes “the newest member of the family” and included a date and a “hashflag” (a type of advertising on X, formerly known as Twitter). Aside from Tim Cook’s tweet, this announcement cannot be found anywhere else, not from any other Apple executive or any Apple social media accounts. It’s also worth noting that the time of the launch is not mentioned, so we can assume that the announcement will be a recorded video or, if they choose, they’ll simply release a press release.
Get ready to meet the newest member of the family.

As for the product, Apple is expected to announce a redesigned iPhone SE, since the last iPhone SE was announced two years ago. It is rumored that the new iPhone SE will feature an A18 chip, a larger 6.1-inch OLED display, Face ID, a USB-C port, Apple Intelligence support, and more. Of course, we should take these rumors with a grain of salt, since the “newest member of the family” may not even be an iPhone but a product in a totally different category. I guess we just have to wait until the 19th.
First announced last September 2024, it looks like demand for its tri-fold Mate XT Ultimate is big enough for the company to ignore, that is why the company will be launching the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate in Saudi Arabia.

The Indonesian government has banned the sales of Google Pixel in the country even though they are not officially distributed in the country.
The banned was made because Google has not met the rules that requires smartphone sold locally should contain at least 40% of the parts made domestically.
“We are pushing these rules so that there’s fairness for all investors in Indonesia,” Febri Hendri Antoni Arief, industry ministry spokesperson, said on Thursday. “Google’s products have not adhered to the scheme we set, so they can’t be sold here.”
The ban for the Google Pixel comes a week after the country blocked Apple from selling the new iPhone 16 locally due to the same content rules.

As always iFixit just published their latest teardown video (below) of the just announced Samsung Galaxy ZFlip 6 and ZFold 6. As commented that most of the changes on the new Samsung Foldables are just for aesthetic purpose only and the biggest changes are “under-the-hood,” like the larger battery, faster processor and a better screen.
The whole video is less than 5 mins and if you are in the mobile repair business, this is one video that do not want to miss.
Samsung’s Galaxy ZFlip6 and ZFold6 devices are on the iFixit teardown table today and if they look familiar, well… that’s because not much has changed on the outside. The Flip has a slightly more matte finish and the fold has some brighter screens and a pretty epic camera bump.
But as the majority of upgrades lurk below the surface let’s break out the pro tech and start digging into Samsung’s latest folding devices.
