Motorola has revealed a little more about its upcoming folding phone, and all signs point toward a premium option - not the budget-friendlier alternative the category could use.

For starters, the Razr Fold will cost €1,999 (about $2,350) bundled with the Moto Pen Ultra. It'll go on sale first in Europe, with North America to follow "in the coming months." Motorola hasn't confirmed how much it will cost without the stylus, or what the price is in US dollars.

The Razr Fold will come with a huge 6,000mAh silicon-carbon battery, making it the first foldable sold in North America to use the technology. It's not quite the biggest battery on any

A robot arm with puppy dog eyes is just one of Lenovo’s new desktop AI concepts

Alongside a handful of new laptop concepts (and a range of real products too), Lenovo used MWC to announce a pair of AI-based productivity companion concepts. Both are standalone desk devices designed to boost productivity while providing office workers with a bit of artificial dystopic companionship.

Lenovo describes its AI Workmate Concept as an "always-on desk companion," but it looks like a tiny robotic arm on a swiveling base with a bulbous screen on the end displaying an expressive pair of eyes. It doesn't look as engaging as a human co-worker, but through local AI processing you can interact with the device as a smart assistant via v …

The new Yoga 9i 2-in-1 from Lenovo has an angled ‘canvas mode’ for easier note-taking

A 14-inch Lenovo Yoga 9i 2-in-1 laptop in “canvas mode” with its screen folded back on itself and elevated at an angle. A stylus is resting beside it.
The magnetic pen case is pulling wedge duty in there.

Lenovo has a few new Yoga laptops it's announcing at MWC 2026: the 14-inch Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition, 15-inch Yoga Pro 7a, and 14-inch Yoga 9i 2-in-1 Aura Edition.

The most interesting of the pack is that 9i 2-in-1, outfitted with a 2880 x 1800, 120Hz OLED touchscreen. It includes a Yoga Pen Gen 2 stylus with a case that attaches to the laptop's lid. Fold the convertible back with the pen case attached and the screen sits at a slightly elevated angle. This should be more ergonomic while drawing and taking notes than writing on it flat, and the laptop has rounded edges and corners for a comfier grip. The 9i's main specs include an Intel Core …

Lenovo is announcing five new ThinkPads and a new ThinkBook laptop for MWC 2026. There are various new chip offerings and updates for this swathe of ThinkPads, but the device I find the most interesting is the X13 Detachable. We haven't seen a major update to Lenovo's tablet-style ThinkPad in years, when it was the X12 Detachable.

The new releases (and starting prices) are:

  • ThinkPad T14S Gen 7 ($1,899)
  • ThinkPad T14S 2-in-1 Gen 2 ($1,849)
  • ThinkPad T16 Gen 5 ($1,799)
  • ThinkPad T14 Gen 7 ($1,799)
  • ThinkPad X13 Detachable ($1,999)
  • ThinkBook 14 2-in-1 Gen 6 ($1,754)

Compared to its predecessor, the X13 D …

One of Lenovo's big laptop concepts for MWC 2026 is a modular ThinkBook with two screens. Officially called the ThinkBook Modular AI PC Concept, the proof-of-concept is a 14-inch productivity machine with two plug-and-play interchangeable ports and a second 14-inch display magnetically attached to the rear of its lid. The second display is removable, and can be propped up on a magnetic kickstand (stored under the laptop) and plugged in via USB-C.

But this concept PC has one more trick: removing the keyboard / trackpad deck and replacing it with the second screen, turning the whole thing into a dual-screen laptop you use with the keyboard a …

This Windows gaming handheld has a screen that folds in half

I love a tall boy.

Lenovo put a foldable display on a gaming handheld. The Legion Go Fold Concept is a Windows-based handheld with a flexible POLED display, detachable Joy-Con-like controllers, and a folio case to turn the whole thing into a mini laptop.

You can use it as a standard Steam Deck-esque handheld with the display folded down to 7.7 inches and controllers attached at its sides, or you can unfold it for a bigger experience. When unfolded, the controllers can be repositioned to all four sides, allowing you to play with the screen in vertical or horizontal orientations.

In vertical splitscreen mode, you can put your game on one half of the screen a …

An unannounced Sonos speaker called Play has been spotted on the Canadian Best Buy site. The Sonos Play looks like a slightly shrunk-down version of the Move 2 with a loop on the back for toting it around.

In addition to Wi-Fi for multi-room Sonos setups with up to 32 speakers, there's support for AirPlay 2 and Bluetooth 5.3. There's even an aux in for hooking up to a turntable or other audio equipment.

The Best Buy listing mentions Trueplay, which automatically tunes sound to your environment. Unlike the Move, the Play says it's IP67 rated f …

Kalshi voids some bets on Khamenei’s ouster because it’s ‘directly tied to death’

Kalshi logo on a green background.

In a statement on X, Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour said his company would pay out positions on "Ali Khamenei out as Supreme Leader?" at the last trading price before his death. Mansour said that Kalshi doesn't "list markets directly tied to death" and that its rules are designed to "prevent people from profiting from death." In addition, Kalshi is refunding fees related to the market and reimbursing anyone who purchased shares after Khamenei's death.

Some users have voiced anger at how the situation was handled, claiming that either Kalshi's rules should have been communicated more clearly, or that its markets should have been more narrowly wor …

Lego’s Smart Brick is here, and it transforms these new Star Wars sets

Lego's new Smart Brick is a pretty big deal. It packs a miniature computer, a microphone, and NFC tech into a classic 2×4 Lego brick, which can power all sorts of new experiences with select sets. It has so much promise that we awarded it "best in show" at CES 2026, and now, eight Star Wars-themed sets that support the Smart Brick (and include it, in some cases) are now available.

Three of them include at least one Smart Brick, along with a charging cradle and cable, while the rest are merely "Smart Play compatible," meaning they're BYOB (bring your own brick). The interactivity of the NFC tags and the smart minifigurs won't be possible unl …

Soundcore’s Space 2 are an evolution of its budget headphones

We finally have an update to the Soundcore Space One that launched two and a half years ago. At MWC 2026, Soundcore has announced the Space 2, which will be available in the US on April 21st in three colors - linen white, jet black, and seafoam green - for $129.99. That's $30 more than the Space One's original price.

According to Soundcore, the Space 2 have had a full-band noise cancellation upgrade with the focus of those improvements on the low-frequency sounds we all generally use ANC headphones to block - things like airplane, train, and bus engine sounds while traveling. The Space 2 use the same number of microphones as the Space One f …
