Google has announced new Gemini upgrades for Google TV during its presentation at CES, aiming to make television use more visual, personal, and easier to control. According to the company, the rollout will begin on select TCL TVs, with other Google TV devices set to receive the update in the coming months. One of the key updates focuses on how Gemini works with Google Photos. Users will be able to search their photo library directly from the TV using people, places, or moments. Gemini can then apply artistic styles through Photos Remix or turn selected memories into cinematic-style slideshows. Google says this feature is designed to bring personal photos into the living room in a more engaging way. In the update, Gemini also changes how information appears on screen. When users ask questions, the TV can show images, videos, and live sports updates alongside spoken responses. For more complex topics, Gemini offers guided explanations with narration and visuals. Google said these summaries are kept simple so that viewers of all ages can understand them. Creative options are also expanding on Google TV. With tools like Nano Banana and Veo, users can edit their own photos using built-in editing features. They can also create original images and videos directly on the TV. Google says these tools are meant for users who want to experiment with visuals instead of only watching content. Another major change is how users control their TVs. Google is introducing natural language commands that remove the need to search through menus. Viewers can say phrases like “the screen is too dim” or “the dialogue is hard to hear”, and Gemini will automatically adjust the correct settings. According to early updates, this is meant to keep viewers focused on their show or movie without interruptions. Google said the updates are part of a broader effort to make Google TV more intuitive and family-friendly. The company has not shared an exact timeline for all devices, but confirmed that the rollout will continue throughout the year. The announcement has drawn attention from tech observers, including PakistaniBano News, as smart TV platforms continue to evolve.
Intel has expanded its AI PC roadmap with the launch of the Core Ultra Series 3 processors, a move aimed at bringing on-device intelligence to a wider section of the global PC market. The announcement was made ahead of CES 2026, with officials saying the new chips will allow mainstream laptops and compact desktops to run advanced workloads locally instead of relying on cloud services. According to officials, the decision opens the door for computer makers to add dedicated neural processing units to lower-power and more affordable systems. This extends Intel’s AI PC strategy beyond premium notebooks and enterprise machines, making the technology available to everyday users. The Core Ultra Series 3 is built on Intel’s 18A process technology and is designed and manufactured in the United States. It is the company’s first AI PC platform developed on this advanced node. Intel says the focus is on power efficiency, integrated performance, and a broad ecosystem that works across different devices. In a statement, Intel Client Computing Group senior vice president Jim Johnson said the new series focuses on better efficiency, stronger CPU performance, larger graphics capability, and improved on-device compute support with x86 compatibility. At the processor level, Series 3 introduces new Core Ultra X9 and X7 mobile chips for users who need sustained performance. These target gaming, content creation, and professional workloads. Flagship versions offer up to 16 CPU cores, Intel Arc graphics with up to 12 Xe cores, and neural engines capable of up to 50 trillion operations per second. Intel claims the new chips deliver up to 60% higher multithreaded performance, over 77% faster gaming performance, and battery life of up to 27 hours in select laptop designs. Alongside high-end models, Intel is also rolling out mainstream Core processors using the same architecture. These are aimed at thinner systems and lower price points while keeping integrated acceleration and better graphics than earlier generations. A key feature of Series 3 is its unified architecture, which delivers up to 180 platform TOPS across the CPU, GPU, and NPU. Intel says this allows tasks like real-time inspection, predictive maintenance, and monitoring to run locally, cutting data transfer costs. Updated Intel Arc graphics play a central role, offering up to 50% higher graphics performance. These GPUs are designed to handle vision tasks such as 3D inspection and high-resolution interfaces without extra hardware. For the first time, Intel is launching edge-optimised Core Ultra Series 3 processors alongside its PC lineup. These chips support extended temperature ranges and continuous operation, targeting robotics, smart infrastructure, industrial automation, and healthcare. Intel said early tests show gains over rival platforms, including up to 1.9 times higher language model performance and stronger efficiency in video analytics. Systems based on Series 3 are expected to begin shipping in the second quarter of 2026, with PC makers planning launches after CES announcements. The development is being closely followed by technology watchers, including PakistaniBano News.
Realme has shared its plans for 2026 with the launch of the Realme 16 Pro+, placing clear focus on camera quality, refined design, and steady performance. The company says the new phone is meant to offer practical upgrades rather than chasing specs alone, setting the direction for its smartphones this year. At the centre of the device is Realme’s new LumaColor Image processing technology. According to the company, the system is designed to deliver natural skin tones, improved colour accuracy, and lighting closer to real-life scenes. The Realme 16 Pro+ is among the first phones from the brand to use this image processing pipeline. The main camera features a 200MP Samsung HP5 sensor with a 1/1.56-inch size and an f/1.8 aperture. It supports full-pixel auto zoom with 1x and 2x lossless zoom, allowing users to crop images without losing detail in everyday shots. Realme says this setup is aimed at users who rely heavily on smartphone photography. According to early updates, the phone also includes 21 customised colour tones through the LumaColor system. Five portrait styles are offered, named Lively, Vintage, Fresh, Neon, and Vivid. Other camera tools include HyperRAW, InstantSnap, and anti-distortion algorithms, which are designed to improve sharpness, handle motion better, and reduce edge distortion. For zoom photography, the Realme 16 Pro+ carries a 50MP periscope telephoto camera using Samsung’s JN5 sensor. It offers 3.5x optical zoom and supports up to 120x Super Zoom. An 8MP ultra-wide camera completes the rear setup. Video features include 4K HDR recording at multiple zoom levels and dual-focal 4K 60fps support at 1x and 3.5x. Design remains a major highlight this year. The 16 Pro series follows Realme’s Urban Wild Design philosophy and was developed with Japanese designer Naoto Fukasawa. The Pro+ model uses a bio-based organic silicone back, made from plant-based straw, reflecting a focus on sustainable materials. On the hardware side, the phone runs on the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset. It comes with 8GB or 12GB LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB or 512GB storage options. The front features a 6.8-inch curved AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. A 16MP front camera and an optical fingerprint scanner are also included. Power is supplied by a 7,000mAh battery with 80W wired charging. The device carries IP69 water and dust resistance and runs realme UI 7.0 based on Android 16. Colour options include Master Gold, Master Grey, and Camellia Pink, with availability details expected to be shared later, according to PakistaniBano News.
Samsung has officially confirmed the Exynos 2600, ending months of speculation around its upcoming flagship chipset. The confirmation came through a short teaser video released by the company, hinting that the new processor may arrive ahead of the Galaxy S26 series. The teaser carries a rare tone for Samsung, opening with the line “in silence, we listened,” which appears to acknowledge the criticism faced by earlier Exynos models. It then shifts to a confident message, describing the new chipset as “refined at the core” and “optimized at every level”. The language signals Samsung’s attempt to reset its approach to in-house silicon development. According to early reports, the Exynos 2600 is positioned to become the first 2nm smartphone chipset to reach the global market. Initial benchmark leaks suggest that it can compete directly with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, a gap Samsung has struggled to close in past generations. Industry sources indicate that Samsung plans to introduce the Exynos 2600 in select variants of the Galaxy S26 lineup. The rollout, however, may differ across regions, with some markets still expected to receive Snapdragon-equipped models. Even with a staggered deployment, the Exynos 2600 stands out as one of Samsung’s strongest attempts to regain high-performance credibility in the global chipset race, a development closely followed by platforms like PakistaniBano News.
Reports from China suggest that Vivo is working on a new X300s flagship that could arrive earlier than many expected. According to early leaks, the phone is likely to launch in the first quarter of 2026, somewhere between January and March, as a follow-up to the Vivo X300 and X300 Pro. The upcoming Vivo X300s is described as an incremental refresh, but one hardware change already stands out. The handset is tipped to feature a 7,000 mAh battery, a clear jump from the X300’s 6,040 mAh cell. With battery life now a key deciding factor in the premium segment, this larger pack could give the X300s a strong edge for users who want all-day endurance. On the performance side, the device is expected to ship with the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 Plus chipset. Based on usual naming trends, this chip is likely to act as a higher-binned version of the standard Dimensity 9500, offering modest performance gains rather than a full generational upgrade. The rest of the core hardware is rumoured to stay close to the current X300 series, signalling a light refresh rather than a complete redesign. So far, other specifications have not been confirmed, and leaks suggest that design, display and camera layout may largely mirror the existing models. Even then, the combination of a bigger battery and a newer flagship-class processor shows Vivo’s intent to extend the X300 family’s momentum into early 2026 and remain competitive in key markets followed by platforms like Pakistani Bano and other tech news outlets. As development continues, more details on the Vivo X300s, its regional availability, and final feature set are expected to surface in the coming weeks.
Google has updated the free usage rules for its new Gemini 3 Pro model, creating confusion among users who are trying to understand what features remain available without a subscription. The change comes shortly after the company launched both Gemini 3 Pro and the Nano Banana Pro model, which is built on the same system. At launch, Google allowed free users to run up to five prompts per day, matching the earlier policy for Gemini 2.5 Pro. Users could also generate up to three images per day through Nano Banana Pro. These limits were clearly stated on Google’s official website and were widely shared by users online. Over the past few days, Google quietly replaced these fixed limits with a vague promise of “basic access” for anyone who is not subscribed to the company’s AI Pro or AI Ultra plans. The same unclear wording now appears under Nano Banana Pro as well. This shift has left free users unsure about how many prompts or images they can still generate each day. The update suggests that Google is encouraging more people to upgrade to paid plans as demand for the new models rises. Analysts believe usage of Gemini 3 Pro is increasing quickly, which may be putting pressure on system resources. Despite the new approach, Google is still offering some level of free interaction, keeping the door open for casual users who want to test the model before paying. The change highlights how rapidly AI access rules are evolving across the tech industry. It also raises new questions about how long companies will maintain meaningful free access as advanced AI models become more expensive to operate.
Apple is preparing a major change to its launch cycle next year, with reports saying the company may skip the standard iPhone 18 lineup in 2026. Instead, the September event is expected to feature only three premium devices: the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and the new iPhone Fold. According to early updates, Apple plans to push lower-cost models to the following year. These include the iPhone Air 2 and the entry-level iPhone 18e, both expected in spring 2027. The iPhone Fold is likely to become Apple’s priciest model yet, with an estimated starting price of $2,399, based on projections shared by Investing. Pricing Expectations Industry reports had earlier placed the price of the iPhone 18 Fold between $2,000 and $2,500. A launch closer to the lower end would put Apple’s foldable in line with devices such as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold. A price near $2,500 would make it the most expensive foldable in the market. Why the iPhone Fold Will Be Costly Analyst Arthur Liao from Fubon says global smartphone shipments may fall by 4% in 2026, landing at around 1.2 billion units. Sales in China could reach 275 million units, a drop of 3%, while global iPhone shipments may decline to 234 million units, also down 4%. Liao warned that rising component prices will remain a major challenge next year. Memory prices are already 75% higher this quarter compared to last year. The overall cost of materials could rise by 5% to 7% in 2026 as demand grows for chips, storage, and other components. For the iPhone Fold, the most expensive parts are expected to be the OLED panel, the hinge, and the lightweight internal hardware. Reports this week again claimed that Apple may use a crease-free display. Previous leaks suggested Apple is willing to buy more costly crease-free panels from Samsung to avoid visible folds on the screen. Fubon’s $2,399 estimate is based on supply chain data and Apple’s typical margin structure. Sales Outlook Despite the high price, analysts expect the iPhone Fold to give the smartphone market a push. Fubon forecasts total sales of 15.4 million units, with 5.4 million expected to sell in 2026 alone.
Apple is preparing a major camera change for its next entry-level model, the iPhone 17e, according to a new research note by analyst Jeff Pu. The device is expected to receive an upgraded 18MP front camera, matching the rest of the iPhone 17 series. The 18MP selfie camera was first introduced with the iPhone 17 lineup, and the move to bring the same feature to the most affordable model has surprised industry watchers. The camera uses a square-shaped sensor that helps users capture both vertical and horizontal selfies without rotating the device. In his note, Jeff Pu stated that the iPhone 17e is expected to launch in the middle of the first quarter of 2026, which points to a likely February release window. Along with the new camera, the iPhone 17e is set to feature the A19 chip, the same processor used in the standard iPhone 17. These two upgrades, the chipset and the front camera, are seen as the most significant improvements over the current model. The full set of specifications is expected to surface closer to the official launch, but analysts say Apple appears to be strengthening its entry-level offering with these changes.

The Pakistan Super League has taken a major step toward expansion, announcing that the auction for two new PSL franchises will take place on 6 January 2026. The move follows the completion of market valuations for existing teams and commercial assets, allowing the league to proceed with its long-awaited growth plans. According to the PSL, only bidders who meet the technical requirements will be allowed to participate in the January auction. Officials say the aim is to ensure that only committed and financially capable groups enter the competition, keeping the league’s standards intact.

The Pakistan T20 World Cup 2026 squad is gradually taking shape as the mega event draws closer. Over the last two years, Pakistan’s T20I performance has slipped in key areas such as powerplay control, strike-rate and death-overs impact, and the numbers reflect that decline. According to the latest figures, Pakistan currently sit in 7th position on the ICC Men’s T20I Team Rankings with a rating of 235. Since the last T20 World Cup, they have played 34 T20 Internationals, winning 21 matches. With the next tournament just months away, attention has turned firmly towards the Pakistan T20 World Cup 2026 squad and how it will line up on the opening day. Pakistan are scheduled to start their campaign on 7 February, when they face the Netherlands. Team management will be keen to begin the World Cup on a strong note and reverse recent trends with a more settled and confident unit. Pakistan T20 World Cup 2026 Squad Takes Shape Under Salman Ali Agha Against this background, T20I captain Salman Ali Agha has indicated that the core of the side for the World Cup is already clear. He has conveyed to officials that no major changes are expected and that the current balance of the team is likely to be carried into the tournament, providing continuity and stability. This approach means the Pakistan T20 World Cup 2026 squad is expected to feature a settled top order, a middle phase strengthened by all-round options, and a bowling unit built around high-quality spin and established pace. According to the present thinking inside the camp, the combination looks structured and aligned with the captain’s longer-term vision for the format. Pakistan T20 World Cup Squad 2026 (Probable) Player Name Primary Role Abdul Samad Top-order batter Babar Azam Batter Hasan Nawaz Top-order batter Sahibzada Farhan Middle-order batter Saim Ayub Top-order batter Usman Khan (†) Wicketkeeper-batter Salman Ali Agha (c) All-rounder (off-spinner) Faheem Ashraf Bowling all-rounder Mohammad Nawaz All-rounder (left-arm orthodox spinner) Abrar Ahmed Leg-spinner / mystery spinner Mohammad Wasim Jnr Fast-medium bowler Naseem Shah Fast bowler Salman Mirza Left-arm fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi Left-arm fast bowler Usman Tariq Off-spin bowler The probable Pakistan T20 World Cup 2026 squad appears balanced across departments. At the top, names such as Babar Azam, Saim Ayub, Usman Khan, Abdul Samad and Hasan Nawaz offer a mix of stability and stroke-play for the powerplay overs. The middle overs are expected to be controlled by captain Salman Ali Agha and Mohammad Nawaz, with Faheem Ashraf adding further depth as a bowling all-rounder. The bowling group stands out as one of Pakistan’s major strengths, with Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah and Mohammad Wasim Jnr leading the pace attack alongside left-arm quick Salman Mirza. In spin, Abrar Ahmed and Usman Tariq provide variety and control in the middle overs. Taken together, the structure suggests a clear, strategy-driven approach as Pakistan prepare for the 2026 T20 World Cup, a topic closely followed by readers of Pakistani Bano and regular visitors of PakistaniBano News.
