Unlike Apple’s minimalist invite, Nothing opted for a bold and playful approach. The company effectively “vandalised” Apple’s clean design with a punk-rock style, spray-painted overlay. Carl Pei used a vibrant, dripping pink graffiti-style font to stamp the Nothing brand name across the top and alter the date to March 5.

The move highlights Nothing’s signature disruptive branding strategy, positioning its launch as a counterpoint to Apple’s event.

Nothing Phone 4a Series Expected

Industry rumours suggest the event could see the debut of the Nothing Phone 4a and the Nothing Phone 4a Pro.

Both smartphones are expected to feature UFS 3.1 onboard storage and slightly larger batteries compared to their predecessors in the Phone 3a series. The devices are also tipped to run on Snapdragon chipsets and may launch at a higher price point than the previous generation.

The purported Nothing Phone 4a Pro recently appeared on Geekbench, reportedly powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 processor. Benchmark scores indicate 707 points in the single precision test, 1,077 points in the half precision test, and 1,265 points in the quantised test.

In terms of configurations, both the Phone 4a and Phone 4a Pro are expected to be available in 8GB RAM + 128GB storage variants. Colour options could include Black and White for the standard model, while the Pro variant may arrive in Black and Silver finishes.

In addition to smartphones, Nothing is reportedly preparing to launch a new pair of over-ear headphones, likely to be branded as the Nothing Headphone (a).

FAQs

Q1. When is Nothing’s next product launch event scheduled?

Answer. Nothing has confirmed its launch event for March 5, 2026, just a day after Apple’s March 4 “Special Apple Experience.”

Q2. How did Nothing announce the event?

Answer. CEO Carl Pei revealed the event via X with a graffiti-style invite mocking Apple’s minimalist design, showcasing Nothing’s disruptive branding.

Q3. What products are expected to debut at the upcoming Nothing event?

Answer. Industry rumours suggest the launch of the Nothing Phone 4a and Phone 4a Pro, along with new Nothing Headphone (a) over-ear headphones.

Highlights

  • Apple is testing end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for RCS messaging in the iOS 26.4 beta.
  • The feature introduces a lock icon in RCS chats, requires RCS Universal Profile 3.0 and is enabled by default on supported devices and carriers.
  • It is available in iOS 26.4, iPadOS 26.4, and macOS Tahoe 26.4 developer betas.

Apple has begun testing end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for RCS messages with the release of the iOS 26.4 beta, alongside iPadOS 26.4 and macOS Tahoe 26.4. The move marks a significant step toward securing cross-platform messaging between iPhone and Android users.

Apple released the first developer betas of iOS 26.4, iPadOS 26.4, and macOS Tahoe 26.4. The updates are currently available to developers with a public launch expected in the spring. Here’s more detail on that.

End-to-End Encryption Expands to RCS Messaging

Apple has been collaborating with the GSMA to bring end-to-end encryption to RCS messaging. While Apple’s iMessage platform has long supported E2EE for messages exchanged between iPhones, cross-platform conversations between iPhone and Android users have lacked full encryption.

Although RCS chats between Android devices already support E2EE, communications between Android and iPhone users have not previously been secured at the same level. With the integration of end-to-end encryption for RCS, Apple aims to ensure that cross-platform messages become as secure as iMessage conversations.

How RCS Encryption Works in iOS 26.4 Beta?

Developers testing the iOS 26.4 beta will notice a new toggle in the Settings app that enables end-to-end encrypted RCS messaging. The feature is switched on by default for supported devices and carriers.

According to Apple, most carriers that currently support RCS are also expected to support RCS end-to-end encryption. However, during the first beta phase, RCS encryption on Apple devices is available for testing only when iMessage is disabled.

Users running the beta software will see a lock icon appear in RCS chats, indicating that end-to-end encryption is active. The lock symbol will now also appear in iMessage conversations.

Apple has noted that RCS encryption will roll out gradually to beta users, meaning not all testers will gain immediate access.

RCS Universal Profile 3.0 Required

To enable full end-to-end encryption for RCS, Apple will need to adopt RCS Universal Profile 3.0. The GSMA recently published this updated standard with Apple’s involvement. Currently, Apple supports RCS Universal Profile 2.4.

The newer Universal Profile 3.0 specification also introduces additional cross-platform messaging. These include the ability to edit and delete text messages, as well as reply inline to specific messages during conversations between Android and iPhone users.

FAQs

Q1. What new security feature is Apple testing in iOS 26.4 beta?

Answer. Apple is testing end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for RCS messaging, making cross-platform chats between iPhone and Android users more secure.

Q2. How can users tell if RCS encryption is active on their device?

Answer. A lock icon will appear in RCS chats (and iMessage conversations) when end-to-end encryption is enabled.

Q3. What standard is required for full RCS encryption support?

Answer. Apple will need to adopt RCS Universal Profile 3.0, which adds features like editing, deleting, and inline replies in cross-platform messaging.

The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 series is all set to make its official debut on February 25. Ahead of the launch, early benchmark listings of the purported Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 Ultra have surfaced online, highlighting performance differences between chipset variants.

At the same time, Samsung has teased a new “zero-peeking privacy” feature that is expected to debut with the premium model. That’s not all, we also have the latest tip on possible camera features of S26 Ultra. Here’s a roundup of all the new details surfacing about the upcoming Samsung flagship lineup.

Samsung Teases New “Zero-Peeking Privacy” Feature

Samsung Electronics has released a teaser video on YouTube showcasing what it calls the Privacy Display feature. The short clip depicts commuters on a metro train attempting to glance at a user’s Galaxy S26 series phone screen. The user then enables a “zero-peeking privacy” feature, which blocks visibility of the screen content from side angles.

The teaser ends with the tagline, “Can your phone do that?” and confirms the Galaxy S26 lineup launch date as February 25.

Samsung had previously hinted at the Privacy Display technology, which is designed to prevent shoulder surfing. The feature is expected to be one of the standout upgrades of the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra.

Functionally, the feature will operate similarly to privacy screen protectors or laptop privacy filters. The display will appear normal when viewed head-on, but from side angles, it will look blacked out. This could prove especially useful when accessing sensitive information such as PINs, OTPs, or personal data in crowded environments like buses or elevators.

Reports suggest that the Privacy Display may remain exclusive to the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Users are also expected to have customisation options, such as dimming notifications or restricting visibility for specific apps.

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 vs Exynos 2600 – Early Benchmark Comparison

As the launch approaches, fresh benchmark comparisons have surfaced via Greek outlet TechManiacs. The report compares the Snapdragon-powered Galaxy S26 Ultra with the Exynos-equipped standard Galaxy S26.

According to Geekbench listings, the Galaxy S26 Ultra powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 “for Galaxy” scored 3,724 in single-core and 11,237 in multi-core tests. These figures align closely with earlier benchmark leaks, particularly in single-core performance.

In contrast, the Galaxy S26 running on the Exynos 2600 achieved 3,197 in single-core and 11,012 in multi-core scores. The difference in single-core performance is especially noticeable.

image

It remains unclear whether the tested Galaxy S26 Ultra model featured 12GB or 16GB of RAM, as TechManiacs concealed certain hardware details in the listing. For reference, non-Ultra variants in the lineup are expected to offer up to 12GB of RAM.

The higher single-core score of the Snapdragon variant appears to be aided by an overclocked Prime core. The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 “for Galaxy” has its Prime core clocked at 4.74GHz, slightly higher than the standard 4.61GHz version found in devices such as the OnePlus 15.

By comparison, the Exynos 2600’s ARM C1-Ultra core is clocked at 3.80GHz. While the Snapdragon chip leads in single-core performance, the multi-core difference is marginal, with the Snapdragon variant holding approximately a 2% advantage.

Despite trailing in single-core benchmarks, the Exynos 2600 may benefit from Samsung’s deca-core architecture and advanced 2nm GAA process, potentially improving performance under parallel workloads. However, as these are pre-release benchmarks, the results should be viewed cautiously.

Galaxy S26 Ultra May Retain 12MP Selfie Camera

In another development, well-known tipster Ice Universe has claimed that the Galaxy S26 Ultra could feature a 12-megapixel Sony front camera sensor. The reported specifications include a 1/3.2-inch sensor size, 1.12μm pixel size, f/2.2 aperture, and an 85-degree field of view.

If accurate, these details closely mirror the front camera hardware used in the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, and Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. This could disappoint users expecting a significant upgrade in selfie quality, low-light performance, or autofocus features in Samsung’s 2026 flagship.

Apart from this, previous reports have revealed that the Galaxy S26 Ultra will feature 60W fast charging. The model will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor and sport a 6.89-inch 2K 120 Hz AMOLED LTPO display.

The Samsung Galaxy S26 series is shaping up to be one of the most closely watched smartphone launches of the year. Multiple details related to enhanced privacy tools, chipset competition between Snapdragon and Exynos variants, and camera upgrades have been teased or tipped so far. All eyes are now on February 25 for the official unveiling.

FAQs

Q1. When will the Samsung Galaxy S26 series launch?

Answer. The Galaxy S26 lineup is officially set to debut on February 25, 2026, with Samsung teasing new privacy and performance features.

Q2. What is the new Samsung “zero-peeking privacy” feature?

Answer. Exclusive to the Galaxy S26 Ultra, this Privacy Display blocks screen visibility from side angles, preventing shoulder surfing in crowded spaces.

Q3. How do the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and Exynos 2600 compare in benchmarks?

Answer. Early Geekbench results show the Snapdragon variant leading in single-core performance, while multi-core scores are close, with only a slight Snapdragon edge.

Highlights

  • Apple has scheduled a “special Apple Experience” on March 4, 2026.
  • The event will reportedly be hosted simultaneously in New York, London, and Shanghai, marking a shift from its usual Cupertino keynotes.
  • The event branding and teaser design suggest a hands-on showcase format.

Apple has officially announced a “special Apple Experience” set to take place on March 4, 2026, at 9 a.m. ET. Unlike its traditional keynote-style launches, the company is deliberately branding this gathering as an “experience” rather than a standard Apple event. Here are all the details.

Apple Announced March 4 Event

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman on X shared a screenshot of Apple’s first event invite of the year. The Apple invite has been sent to members of the press and it will be hosted across three major cities including New York, London and Shanghai, instead of being limited to Apple Park in Cupertino.

The teaser image features an Apple logo composed of 22 colored glass slices.

The design strongly resembles the Liquid Glass visual style seen in the latest iPhone, iPad and Mac software updates. The logo includes shades of blue, green and yellow. These colours could hint at the rumoured new Mac laptop expected to be powered by an iPhone chip.

Alternatively, the colours may reference updated iPad or iPad Air models that have been circulating in rumours.

Apple has not disclosed additional details about what will be announced. However, the unusual multi-city format and the use of the word “experience” instead of “event” suggest a different format from the company’s typical keynote presentations. Apple is known for being deliberate with its wording, so the branding could indicate a more hands-on showcase rather than a traditional stage announcement.

Apple Future Launches Expected

Several Apple products are rumoured to launch around this time, according to Gurman. These include:

  • A new low-cost MacBook powered by the A18 Pro chip
  • New M5 MacBook Air
  • New M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pro models
  • New Mac displays
  • iPhone 17e
  • A base iPad powered by the A18 chip
  • An M4 iPad Air

There is also speculation that the colour scheme in the invite could relate to updated MacBook Pro models featuring M5 Pro and M5 Max processors. Reports have suggested that the iPhone 17e may launch in February with the first wave of new Macs expected to follow in March.

On the software side, Apple is also expected to roll out the first beta of iOS 26.4 soon. The update is rumoured to introduce at least some of the new Siri features powered by Google Gemini.

Earlier this year, Apple quietly introduced the second-generation AirTag. However, that release was relatively low-key indicating hardware announcements were still on the horizon.

FAQs

Q1. What is unique about Apple’s March 4, 2026 event?

Answer. Apple is branding it as a “special Apple Experience” rather than a typical keynote, hosting it across New York, London, and Shanghai instead of Cupertino.

Q2. What products are rumoured to launch during the event?

Answer. Expected announcements include a low-cost MacBook with the A18 Pro chip, new M5 MacBook Air and Pro models, updated Mac displays, iPhone 17e, and refreshed iPads.

Q3. What software updates might Apple reveal?

Answer. Apple is anticipated to roll out the first beta of iOS 26.4, which may introduce new Siri features powered by Google Gemini.

  • Samsung’s privacy display tech debuting on the Galaxy S26 Ultra in 2026 could reach Apple MacBooks by 2029.
  • The OLED-based Flex Magic Pixel embeds privacy protection directly into the panel, using AI to adjust viewing angles.

We have previously reported that Samsung’s next-generation privacy display technology is expected to debut with the upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra. Now, new update hints that the tech may eventually find its way to Apple’s MacBook lineup. Here are more details on that.

MacBooks to Adopt Samsung’s Privacy Display

According to market research firm Omdia, cited by tipster UniverseIce @UniverseIce on X, Apple’s MacBooks could incorporate Samsung’s privacy-focused display technology around 2029. Samsung is set to debut the feature on the Galaxy S26 Ultra, which is scheduled to launch on February 25, 2026.

However, MacBook users may need to wait a few more years before seeing the technology on larger laptop screens.

The delay is reportedly linked to the complexity of scaling the innovation from a compact smartphone panel to a much larger laptop display. Adapting the technology while maintaining brightness, clarity, and colour accuracy on bigger screens could require additional development time.

Samsung’s Flex Magic Pixel Technology

Samsung has developed a new OLED-based solution called Flex Magic Pixel to enable built-in privacy protection. Unlike traditional removable plastic privacy filters, this technology is embedded directly into the display panel. It leverages AI to dynamically adjust viewing angles

When viewed head-on, the screen appears bright and clear. However, from side angles, the content turns black, making it difficult for others nearby to see what’s on display. This ensures that sensitive information such as messages, passwords, and notifications remains protected from shoulder surfers in public spaces.

Reports suggest the integrated privacy layer does not reportedly reduce image quality. Colours stay accurate, and overall screen brightness is preserved. Samsung is also expected to introduce software enhancements that allow users to customise privacy settings, including app-level visibility controls.

As for Samsung’s broader device lineup, current rumours indicate that the privacy display may remain exclusive to the Galaxy S26 Ultra.

FAQs

Q1. When could Apple MacBooks get Samsung’s privacy display technology?

Answer. According to Omdia, Apple MacBooks may adopt Samsung’s privacy-focused display around 2029, following its debut on the Galaxy S26 Ultra in 2026.

Q2. What is Samsung’s Flex Magic Pixel technology?

Answer. It’s an OLED-based solution that embeds privacy protection directly into the panel, using AI to adjust viewing angles, clear head-on, blacked out from the side.

Q3. Why is there a delay in bringing this technology to MacBooks?

Answer. Scaling the innovation from smaller smartphone panels to larger laptop screens requires more development to maintain brightness, clarity, and colour accuracy.

Vivo has expanded its Vivo V60 series with the introduction of a refreshed Vivo V60 Lite. But the device may look quite familiar to many because the smartphone originally debuted in September last year and is now returning with a key internal upgrade.

The new Vivo V60 Lite (model V2549) becomes the first smartphone to feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 6s 4G Gen 2 processor. This new chipset replaces the Snapdragon 685 that powered the earlier 4G variant of the device.

Apart from the processor upgrade, the rest of the hardware appears largely unchanged.

The Vivo V60 Lite continues to sport a 6.77-inch AMOLED display with Full HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.

On the rear, the phone houses a dual-camera setup comprising a 50-megapixel primary sensor and an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens. It retains the optical in-display fingerprint scanner and a 32-megapixel front-facing camera for selfies and video calls.

Battery capacity also remains the same. The handset is backed by a 6,500mAh battery with support for 90W wired fast charging. Vivo claims the device can charge from nearly empty to full in under an hour. Additionally, it supports 6W reverse wired charging, allowing users to power smaller gadgets when required.

On the software front, the smartphone runs Funtouch OS 15 based on Android 15. It also carries an IP65 rating for dust and water resistance and meets MIL-STD-810H durability standards.

The newly listed Panama version confirms black and blue colour options for the refreshed handset. Pricing details have not yet been revealed.

For reference, the earlier Vivo V60 Lite 4G variant was launched in Turkey shortly after the 5G version debuted in Taiwan. That model was powered by the Snapdragon 685 chipset and came with 8GB of RAM, along with virtual RAM expansion support, and 256GB of internal storage. However, it did not offer a microSD card slot.

We can expect more details about pricing, variants and global availability to surface soon.
