The Xiaomi Vision GT is a visually stunning electric hypercar concept that was officially unveiled at the 2026 MWC in Barcelona. You may be familiar with Xiaomi from their phones and kitchen appliances, but this is a bit more unique in that it was designed by a company not known for producing high-performance vehicles, but it is now competing with brands such as Ferrari and Porsche, thanks to its inclusion in the Gran Turismo racing game series.
Apple has officially released the Studio Display XDR, and those who expect the best from their work now have a seriously enticing new alternative right on their desk. A 27-inch screen with 5K resolution (5120 by 2880 pixels) is a powerhouse of detail, providing stunning clarity in every part of the image.
A UK maker has transformed a collection of discarded disposable vapes into a functional car. Chris Doel, the man behind a number of projects that recycle vape batteries, has recently installed his 500-cell lithium pack in a small electric vehicle and driven it on public roads.
The Acer Nitro EI491CUR, priced at $599.99 (was $800), is a 49-inch ultrawide monitor that eliminates the need to switch between a multi-monitor setup. One single screen provides all the space you need to spread out your work and immerse yourself in an immersive experience, just like having two side-by-side monitors on your desk, sans the unpleasant lump in the middle where the two screens meet.
Motorola debuted the RAZR Fold during the 2026 Mobile World Congress. Now, this is their first foldable phone that can be opened like a book rather than simply flipping the lid shut. Bottom line, the device came with a solid set of hardware options that actually address some of the issues you’d ordinarily dislike about foldables, such as short battery life, poor screens in sunlight, and cameras that can’t compete with the big guys.
On March 2, 2026, Hermeus successfully completed their first flight with the Quarterhorse Mk 2.1, lifting off from Spaceport America in New Mexico and flying over the White Sands Missile Range. From a base station, the team of operators maintained a tight eye on how the systems reacted, how well the plane operated under stress, and so on, basically to see if everything functioned as intended.

Kiran Patil, an aerospace engineer from Bangalore, India, is receiving a lot of attention for the small arcade game he made in his studio. Patil’s device has officially been recognized by Guinness World Records as “the world’s smallest arcade machine.” The compact box is only 24.85mm tall, 15.25mm long, and 15.1mm wide, making it smaller than a regular AA battery.
Smartphones have evolved into a rather predictable shape over time, with flat slabs, fixed cameras, and batteries well sealed up tight inside. TECNO decided to defy those standards at MWC 2026 by showcasing a design that brings back some pretty old-school modularity in a way that no one expected: a base phone so thin that it barely counts as a complete device until you start adding components to it.
The Manya Cynus chess robot comes in a small box that opens to reveal a complete chessboard and a single robotic arm that is eager to start a game. This device, which was created by Manya Space and distributed to backers who had committed to the 2025 Kickstarter, is basically a physical chess battle against a machine that makes all of its own moves. With eight difficulty settings ranging from extremely basic to expert-level strong, it runs completely off the grid and doesn’t require you to use your phone, computer, or internet connection.
