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.

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.
More than four months after announcing Apple’s acquisition of Pixelmator, the deal appears to have been completed without any announcement, since users of the Pixelmator apps are displaying new splash screen announcing the deal.
The messages on the splash screen is a simple “We are excited to announce that Pixelmator Pro is now part of Apple,” and Pixelmator users confirmed that they are getting the similar message using app.
So both Pixelmator Pro and Photomator now officially belong to Apple. pic.twitter.com/ASNExgWBg2

Apple now owns Pixelmator fully. I hope this is a good thing, but I did love that for many years I have been using it, the company has always provided regular updates and features.

While Apple has acquired Pixelmator, they haven’t revealed plans for the app’s future. It remains a standalone product for now, and hopefully won’t suffer the same fate as Apple’s Aperture app, which was discontinued in 2015.
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.
Grab Philippines has released an official statement regarding one of its driver-partner of being accused of lascivious acts by his passenger. In their statement, Grab Philippines said “After a comprehensive review of the Audio Protect recording from the trip, the driver-partner’s profile, and performance history, we found no conclusive evidence to support the allegations or indicate any malicious intent.”
Nintendo has officially announced the Switch 2, the company’s next generation handheld gaming system. Because of the all the leaks, an official announced is all but official.
Nintendo did not provide any details on the specs and the pricing but they did release a “first look” trailer (below) that give more or less an idea on what the Switch 2 will look like.
Here’s what Nintendo said about the new Switch 2;
Nintendo Switch 2 plays both physical and digital Nintendo Switch games. Certain Nintendo Switch games may not be supported on or fully compatible with Nintendo Switch 2. Details will be shared on the Nintendo website at a later date.
**Nintendo Switch Online members can continue using the service on Nintendo Switch 2.
Nintendo Switch Online is not supported in your region.
The company is schedule to officially launch the Switch 2 on April 2, 2025, which I expect the company to provide more details about the new gaming device.
Saudi Central Bank (SAMA) and Google have partnered to bring Google Pay to Saudi Arabia in 2025 through the mada payment system. This move supports SAMA’s Vision 2030 goals by boosting digital payments and reducing cash reliance. Google Pay will offer secure and convenient transactions in stores, apps, and online.
In a bid to expand offerings of digital payment solutions, #SAMA and Google sign an agreement to avail Google Pay in #SaudiArabia during 2025.https://t.co/NQUfQyRSPO pic.twitter.com/iPhn67pOiE

The agreement will allow Android users to pay using their Android phones instead of using their MADA card, just like how iOS users uses Apple pay (on their iphone).
Here’s another leaked from China’s MIIT, since the agency has in advertently published the specs for the next iteration of the BYD Dolphin. The MIIT posting, revealed that the BYD Dolphin for 2025 got a modern facelift and will be available in three models; Model TZ180XSF (70 kW -94 hp), Model TZ200XSW (130 kW – 174 hp) and the Model TZ200XSQ (150 kW – 201 hp).
Compared with the current BYD Dolphin model, the lower front face on has been adjusted and the sides with the semi-hidden door handles and the body lines remain the same. At the rear, “BYD” logo is integrated on the taillight and at the same time, the taillight design and lower section of the rear have been adjusted.
The new Dolphin will runs on either 195/60R16 or 205/50R17 tires and it will have a wheelbase of 2700mm. It will feature similar dimension (LxWxH) of 4280mm for the length, 1770mm for its width and the height will be 1570mm. Three curb weights were declared; 1435 kg, 1480 kg, and 1600 kg, which we can assume for the three models.
There is also the optional configurations like the panoramic sunroof, front radar, front camera, rear radar, front side radar, rear side radar, side mirror camera, rear camera, black roof, rear privacy glass, high gloss film, and rim designs.
The new BYD Dolphin will still be using the company’s Blade LFP battery packs. The declared top speeds are 150 km/h, we can assume that depending on the model, it will have a different top speed. No price and exact availability but from the name itself, it is safe to assume that the new BYD Dolphin 2025 will be available next year.

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.
