Welcome to Galaxy S

What sets the Galaxy S experience apart is its premium and intelligent camera capabilities that make capturing special moments easier in high quality, an experience that the Galaxy S26 FE delivers from hardware to features, powered by Galaxy AI.

The Galaxy S26 FE features an enhanced triple rear camera with advanced image processing, including a 50MP Wide Camera and 8MP Telephoto Camera that supports 3x Optical Zoom.

First introduced in the latest Galaxy Z series, it finally brings My FanCam to Galaxy S — a feature that intelligently tracks a selected person, reframing video as the scene moves, for less need for manual editing. There's also Super Steady with Horizontal Lock, which made waves in the market when it was launched with the Galaxy S26 series, as it lets you capture level, smooth footage while filming fast-moving activities like sports, travel, and everyday adventures.

Meanwhile, the enhanced Photo Assist can elevate any photo, even after the moment has passed — adding, changing, or restoring elements using natural language prompts, with an edit history you can review step by step and revise or undo along the way.

Your Tool to Life-Maxxing

The Galaxy S26 FE is built to keep up with you, no matter how packed your day gets, with a long-lasting 4,900mAh battery that allows you to reach up to 69% charge in around 30 minutes with the 45W adapter.

Powered by the latest One UI 9, the enhanced Now Brief features customizable briefing cards like weather and wellness insights that you can create using a single prompt while Now Nudge has expanded to select third-party apps and notifications providing users with relevant insights all throughout the day.

And when it's time to upgrade, Smart Switch makes the transition seamless, transferring your data, photos, apps, and settings from your old device in just a few taps — so you can pick up right where you left off and continue your life-maxxing, with no stress, no lost files, and no starting from scratch.

Anker Innovations unifies its brands under a single name: Anker


Almost 15 years after selling its first battery product, Anker Innovations today announced that its five brands will be unified under a single name, Anker. The company also announced the opening of its first standalone store in Berlin on Saturday and new products across charging, audio, home security, robotics and home energy.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Anker: A Unified Brand for the Next Era

Since its founding in 2011, Anker has grown from a charging company into a global consumer technology company serving more than 200 million customers in over 180 countries and regions. Along the way it built dedicated brands to move faster in distinct categories: Anker for charging, eufy for the smart home, soundcore for audio and entertainment, SOLIX for energy and eufyMake for creative tools. Each built a strong following, and that success is what makes this step possible.

As AI, robotics, local computing and connected systems bring once-separate technologies closer together, the boundaries between those categories are disappearing. Anker is bringing its products and technologies together under one brand to match.

“Category brands made sense when categories were separate. They no longer are,” said Steven Yang, founder and CEO of Anker Innovations. “One brand, one promise - Ultimate Innovation, now unified across everything we make.”

Consolidation also concentrates the company’s brand investment. Anker has been building five brands at once, in every market and against every competitor. One brand puts that investment behind a single name.

Anker will present its products in two groups. Anker For You is the technology that moves through the day with you, covering charging, audio, personal health and creative tools. Anker for Home is the home that takes care of itself, covering home security, robotics and home energy.

The change will be gradual. New products lead the move to the Anker brand and existing products transition over time. Warranty coverage, customer support and service remain unchanged.



Anker Opens First Standalone Store in Berlin

Anker will open its first standalone retail store in Berlin on Saturday, Sept. 5.

At the store, everything Anker makes is arranged around real life rather than by product category. Anker products are typically sold across separate departments in retail, and until now under separate brand names. Trained Anker ambassadors will demonstrate products across categories, so a customer can see a hub, a camera and a robot vacuum working together as a single setup rather than as three separate purchases.

“Opening our first standalone Anker store in Germany, here on Berlin’s iconic Ku’damm, is a very special milestone for us,” said Steven Yang, founder and CEO of Anker Innovations. “We have spent nearly 15 years building products that solve real problems for consumers. Now, for the first time, people can experience the full Anker portfolio together in one place and see how those products increasingly work together. It is an exciting way to bring the new, unified Anker brand closer to our customers.”

The store is arranged the way Anker now presents its products: Anker For You, the technology that moves through the day with you, and Anker for Home, the home that takes care of itself.

The company said it plans to open additional stores, with locations and timing to be announced.

Anker For You

The technology that moves through the day with you.

In May, Anker introduced its THUS AI chip, a Neural-Net Compute-in-Memory chip that runs AI processing on the device. Today it expands into a full line of new headphones and earbuds.

The Anker soundcore AeroClip 2 Pro brings the chip to an on-ear clip form factor with best-in-class call quality, and adds AI Voice Recording, capturing meetings, phone calls and personal interactions, then transcribing and summarizing lengthy conversations into a succinct summary. The AeroClip 2 shares the chip and the form factor.

The Space 2 Pro over-ear headphones bring the same best-in-class call quality using the THUS chip and built-in microphones and sensors, with 30 hours of battery life with ANC and 60 hours with ANC off, and plush earcups that keep them comfortable for all-day use.

The Liberty Buds 2 in-ear earbuds feature an 8-sensor array for crystal-clear calls, while 9.2 mm drivers deliver detailed audio for music and video.

Anker has become one of the world’s most popular sleep earbud lines, and today expands that lineup with new earbuds and its first bedside speakers.

The Sleep 4 and Sleep 4 Pro build on earlier generations of sleep earbuds to block noise and help users fall asleep and stay asleep. The Sleep 4 Pro adds the world’s first Track-Assess-Adjustment system, monitoring PPG, heart rate and HRV while utilizing BioSync™ data-driven dynamic audio to adjust audio content and help each user find their most effective sleep sounds. A charging case with touchscreen and wireless charging lets users set an alarm, play relaxing sounds and check insights without their phone.

The SleepLab and SleepLab Pro introduce the company’s first pair of sleep-focused bedside speakers. SleepLab plays music and sleep sounds with a soft nightlight and alarm to set the mood for sleep. The SleepLab Pro uses 60 GHz radar for precise sleep sensing, tracking heart rate and breathing and analyzing the four stages of sleep, then plays tailored audio to help users fall asleep and stay asleep, with no earbuds, ring or monitor required.

Charging is where Anker started, and it introduced three products built around managing power rather than just delivering it.

The Anker MagGo Power Bank 2 Pro is the world’s fastest and coolest wireless power bank and the first magnetic power bank with a built-in cooling fan, delivering premium performance certified by SGS. With true 25-watt Qi2.2 magnetic wireless charging delivers wired-level speed, taking an iPhone 17 Pro to 50% in 25 minutes and the power bank recharges itself to 80% in 52 minutes. A patented fan control algorithm, dual air ducts and a three-layer graphene heat-spreading system pull heat away continuously, keeping the back of the power bank below 96.8 degrees Fahrenheit (36 Celsius) throughout charging. Competing magnetic power banks typically reach 113 degrees Fahrenheit (45 Celsius) or higher, forcing the connected phone to throttle. A smart display shows real-time power, temperature, battery level and time remaining. The 10,000 mAh power bank weighs 220 grams and will be available in the U.S. on Sept. 17 for $109.99 in Phantom Gray, Starlight Silver, Polar Night Blue.

The Anker Laptop Charger Pro recognizes the specific laptop model connected and manages its battery health over time, with 100% recognition for Mac models and more than 90% for Windows devices using the desktop app. A single tap enables Care Mode, which applies a dedicated charging curve for that device and, combined with an 80% charge limit, extends battery lifespan by up to 40%. The desktop app delivers over-the-air updates, monthly battery health reports and custom charging thresholds. The 100-watt Max GaN charger takes a laptop from 0% to 50% in 30 minutes. The body is 38% smaller and 33% lighter than the original 96-watt charger.

The Anker MagStand Charging Station replaces three bedside chargers with one device, combining a 25-watt Max magnetic pad, a retractable cable and a hidden USB-C port. Qi2 25-watt charging with active cooling takes an iPhone 17 Pro to 50% in 22 minutes while keeping the phone at 37 degrees Celsius, 5 degrees cooler than competitors. Care Mode paces overnight charging to finish around the user’s alarm time and stops at 100% to protect the battery. Supports device recognition for both wired and wireless charging, and displays real-time wattage, temperature, and remaining time to full. App connectivity adds personalized screensavers alongside a clock and weather display. Measuring 103 by 80 by 80 millimeters with a waterfall amber glow, it will be available in the U.S. in the second half of 2026.

Anker for Home

The home that takes care of itself.

Anker introduced Anker MindBase™, a local AI hub and Anker’s answer to bringing the truly autonomous home to life. It connects the devices across a home, runs the AI that makes decisions locally and stores the household’s data locally, all in a single system. MindBase is built on three key capabilities: connection, local intelligence and memory.

EasyOmni™ Link connects Anker devices and Matter-compatible products from other brands into one home system, working alongside Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Home Assistant.

TrueSmart™ Agent brings local intelligence to MindBase through dedicated AI agents designed for different areas of the home. These agents run on the built-in AI Core compute card. Examples include the Network-Attached Storage (NAS) Agent and Security Agent.

EverSafe™ Memory provides 48TB of expandable local storage, keeping family photos, recordings and other household data inside the home.

The first product powered by MindBase is the Anker MindBase™ Security Kit. The upcoming Anker eufy TrackLight™ Cam S1 features an auto-tracking light and a 4K telephoto camera, helping the system track and respond to approaching people. The Video Doorbell S4 provides a 180-degree panoramic view, eliminating blind spots. In addition to a range of entry and motion sensors, Smart Security Shield uses advanced 180-degree dual radar to detect the movement of strangers, while DSKey technology allows Smart Security Shield to identify recognized friends and family from up to 30 meters away.

MindBase is designed to work with many existing Anker eufy security cameras and devices. For current HomeBase S380 users, existing footage can be transferred smoothly to the new MindBase hub.

The Anker MindBase Security Kit launches later this year, with pricing to be announced closer to availability. Anker eufy Security also introduced the NVR Security System E50, Video Doorbell S4, Window Camera E10 and Fall Detection Sensor.

Anker eufy announced the launch of a new robot vacuum model and unveiled a new advanced robot lawn mower.

The Anker eufy Robot Vacuum Omni E35 brings deep cleaning that translates to a healthier home. Built to baby-grade standards, it has earned a TÜV certification as a “Maternal and Infant Cleaning Robot” for bacterial elimination, low noise levels, cleaning performance and self-cleaning capabilities. The Omni E35 is equipped with the HydroJet 2.0 Self Cleaning Roller Mop and 35,000 Pa long-lasting suction power to remove dust, dirt, mites and debris from deep within carpets.

The Robot Lawn Mower S2 Max is the company’s first robot mower developed entirely in-house, aimed at bringing more advanced robotics and AI into lawn care. It is fully autonomous with no boundary wires or RTK and introduces true edge-to-edge cutting with an automatic extendable cutting arm. The S2 Max features all-wheel drive, tackles slopes up to 80% (38 degrees), and can map and mow up to 15,000 square meters (161,000 square feet). It launches in May 2027 in Europe.

In home energy, Anker introduced a system designed to bring balcony solar closer to whole-home backup.

The Anker SOLIX Solarbank Max is the world’s first plug-in energy storage system that matches home battery specifications, with 10 kW solar input, 7 kWh capacity (expandable to 42 kWh) and 3,500 W AC output. The Solarbank Max is cutting installation costs up to 80% and reducing payback up to 2.6 years. Its Plug-in Power 2.0 system lets a certified electrician convert a single socket and connect the unit the same day for whole-home power, while an AI-powered energy management system tracks 870+ dynamic electricity tariffs and stores or sells solar at the right moment.

Anker Moves Into Hearing Health

Anker also announced it is moving into hearing health, starting with hearing aids powered by its proprietary THUS AI chip and drawing on the noise reduction, long battery life and fast charging developed in its earbuds. More details will be provided in the coming months.

Move over, K-beauty: P-beauty has arrive and Careline cosmetics is about to launch its smartest product yet

For years, the global beauty conversation has been shaped by Korean skincare routines, Japanese minimalism, and French pharmacy staples. Now, a fourth force is stepping into that conversation: P-beauty.

UK-based medical aesthetics doctor Christine Hall

Careline Cosmetics is leading the charge. The homegrown Filipino brand is set to unveil its most innovative launch to date. Stackable makeup formats aren't new to the world, but a full makeup routine built into a single stackable system is a first of its kind for the Philippine market, and it's what caught the attention of Dr. Christine Hall, a UK-based medical aesthetics doctor named one of Tatler's Medics of the Moment and one of the most trusted voices bridging Western and Asian beauty audiences.

Her verdict: "This might be the smartest makeup launch yet."

It's not the first time Dr. Hall has spotlighted the Philippines. She has previously asked her international following whether Philippine makeup is the next big trend, and her early preview of the upcoming Careline launch has already reached over 50,000 views and at high engagement rates within days, well above typical benchmarks for beauty content on the platform.

"We are so happy to see P-beauty become a global movement," said Carmen Torralba, brand manager of Careline Cosmetics. "Careline has always believed in giving Filipinas better than basic, and this launch takes that promise further than ever!”

Full details of the launch will follow soon. In the meantime, follow Careline Cosmetics to watch out for the big reveal on Facebook, TikTok and Instagram at @carelineph!

Globe unit m360 wins Gold - Most Innovative Tech Company of the Year Stevie® Award in 2026 International Business Awards®

The 23rd Annual International Business Awards® are the world's premier business awards competition, recognizing outstanding organizations, executives, entrepreneurs, and teams worldwide


Globe Telecom company m360 was named the winner of a Gold Stevie® Award in the Most Innovative Tech Company of the Year category in The 23rd Annual International Business Awards® (IBAs).

A Communications Platform as a Service (CPaaS) provider under Brave Connective Holdings, Inc., m360’s innovation - a wallet-based, omnichannel Customer Engagement Platform - was recognized globally, positioning the Filipino-built CPaaS provider among the most innovative tech companies in the world in just five years since its founding in 2021.

The International Business Awards are the world’s premier business awards program. All individuals and organizations worldwide – public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small - are eligible to submit nominations. The 2026 IBAs received entries from organizations in 82 nations and territories.

Winners will be celebrated during a gala event at the Pullman Paris Montparnasse on Wednesday, 28 October.

“This Gold win is a recognition of what our team has built - a platform designed to solve real problems for Filipino businesses. It’s proof that innovation doesn’t have to come from Silicon Valley to compete on the world stage. This belongs to every person at m360 who worked to get us here,” said m360 President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Ramon Hirang.

m360 also brought home a Silver award at the 2025 International Stevie Awards under the Achievement in Product Innovation category.

World class innovation, made in the Philippines

In 2025, m360 launched two market-first products that addressed an infrastructure gap on how Philippine businesses can automate and monitor engagement in digital marketing campaigns.

Flows enables businesses to design and execute multi-step, multi-channel outbound messaging sequences entirely within m360, with zero third-party integration required - a capability previously accessible only through enterprise marketing automation suites that cost multiples of what m360 offers, and that require months of implementation.

Click Tracking delivers recipient-level engagement intelligence natively within the m360 broadcast dashboard - giving businesses real-time visibility into CTR, unique clicks per campaign, peak click timing by hourly intervals, device type breakdown, and geographic engagement down to the city level. What was once a one-way broadcast channel is now a measurable performance tool.

“The CPaaS industry in the Philippines has historically been dominated by aggregators offering transmission - not intelligence. Businesses could send messages, but couldn't measure engagement, automate follow-up, or optimize campaigns without layering on expensive external tools. m360's 2024–2025 innovations directly address these gaps. Each product was built because the market needed it and no local provider had built it yet,” said Mr. Hirang.

With clients spanning clinics, cooperatives, government agencies, banks, and retailers, m360 is bringing digital communication intelligence to every corner of the Philippine economy.

The 2026 International Business Awards

More than 3,400 nominations from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of categories, including Company of the Year, Marketing Campaign of the Year, Best New Product or Service of the Year, Startup of the Year, Corporate Social Responsibility Program of the Year, and Executive of the Year, among others.

Stevie Award nominations were evaluated by more than 200 business professionals worldwide serving as judges on 9 specialized committees. Stevie Award winners were determined based on judges' average scores during the independent judging process in June and July.

“The 2026 International Business Awards winners represent the very best in business achievement from organizations of all sizes and across virtually every industry,” said Stevie Awards President Maggie Miller.

“This year's winners have demonstrated exceptional innovation, leadership, resilience, and results in a highly competitive global field. We congratulate every Stevie Award winner and look forward to celebrating their achievements together in Paris on October 28.”
