Pricing program launched today following its recent filing with the SEC

STAMFORD, Conn., March 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — 24 Exchange announced today the launch of its retail trade pricing program for members of 24X National Exchange (“24X” or the “Exchange”), the first national securities exchange approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to offer 23-hour weekday trading of U.S. equities. 24X’s new pricing program is now in effect, following its recent filing with the SEC.

The retail program’s pricing is set at $0.0038 (38-mils) rebate, with no tiers, for equities trading over $1.00. In addition, 24X is offering a $0.0034 (34-mils) rebate for adding liquidity across all tapes on stocks trading above $1.00, while the take rate will remain unchanged at $0.00295/share (29.5 mils), also without tiers.

24X National Exchange CEO and Founder Dmitri Galinov said: “We’re grateful for our 24X members who are supporting the first U.S. national exchange purpose-built for extended-hours trading. We designed our retail program to deliver great value grounded in accessibility, simplicity, and affordability. The new pricing range is intended to drive greater retail limit order flow while attracting liquidity providers to the exchange. 24X’s straightforward rebate with no tiers eliminates the complexity that has historically disadvantaged smaller participants and ensures retail order flow is valued appropriately. Combined with our inverted pricing structure, market participants can focus on execution quality rather than navigating complicated fee schedules. As we prepare for our 23/5 trading launch later this year, transparent and competitive pricing will level the playing field for retail investors trading via 24X member broker-dealers.”

Trading on 24X National Exchange commenced last October with extended hours trading of U.S. equities from 4:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. ET on weekdays. This next-generation electronic trading venue expects to launch 23/5 trading of U.S. equities in the second half of this year.

From robotics innovation to flagship devices, HONOR expands its AI device ecosystem at MWC 2026

BARCELONA, Spain, March 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At MWC 2026, HONOR advanced its Augmented Human Intelligence (AHI) vision and accelerated ALPHA PLAN through three connected pillars: Alpha Phone, Alpha Store and Alpha Lab. Building on its long-term commitment to human-centric AI, HONOR offered a preview of Robot Phone, a bold exploration of embodied intelligence and a new species of smartphone that reimagines how future AI devices could integrate motion and spatial awareness.

Alongside this futuristic innovation, HONOR unveiled Magic V6, the pinnacle of its foldable innovation, combining breakthrough silicon-carbon battery technology, advanced display engineering and AI-enhanced productivity in its most refined foldable design to date. Together with new ecosystem devices, HONOR MagicPad 4 and MagicBook Pro 14, these announcements reinforce HONOR’s roadmap to integrate intelligent hardware and software around real human needs.

James Li, CEO of HONOR, said: “With Human-centric as our lighthouse, we navigate the growth of AI through the two beams of IQ and EQ, bringing three forms of intelligence together. We are exploring the new paradigm of AI devices with Alpha Phone; hosting the new paradigm of AI ecosystem with Alpha Store; and building the new paradigm of a silicon-carbon civilization with Alpha Lab. With three waves of the Alpha Plan, we now have all the components in place and we are driving this journey at full warp speed.”

HONOR Magic V6: A New Foldable Benchmark


While Robot Phone explores the future of embodied intelligence, Magic V6 represents cutting-edge flagship foldable innovation. Building on HONOR’s leadership in foldable design, Magic V6 delivers a device engineered for durability, performance and intelligent productivity.

Combining an ultra-thin 8.75mm[1] closed profile with reinforced structural integrity and advanced hinge architecture, Magic V6 is engineered for long-term reliability while maintaining exceptional slimness. The device is rated IP68 and IP69[2] for water and dust resistance, reinforcing its resilience in everyday environments. Within this ultra-thin foldable design, HONOR integrates its next-generation silicon-carbon battery technology.

Made possible by partnering with ATL, Magic V6 gets HONOR’s fifth-generation silicon-carbon material, addressing the challenge of balancing slimness and high energy density. This innovation empowers HONOR Magic V6 to achieve an industry-first silicon content of 25%, supporting higher energy density in an ultra-thin foldable design. The result is a 6,660mAh battery[3] housed in one of the thinnest foldables on the market, redefining expectations for endurance in the category without compromising design.

At MWC 2026, HONOR also demonstrated next-generation battery innovation with the all-new HONOR Silicon-carbon Blade Battery, featuring 32% silicon content and 900+ Wh/L. Designed to enable foldables to enter the 7000mAh era, it signals a further leap in ultra-thin, ultra-high energy battery technology.

Magic V6 also sets a new benchmark in foldable display innovation. Its dual flagship LTPO 2.0 screens, measuring 6.52 inches externally and 7.95 inches[4] when unfolded, deliver adaptive 1–120Hz refresh rates and peak brightness of up to 6,000 nits and 5,000 nits respectively for HDR content. The inner display features ultra-thin flexible glass with SGS Minimized Crease Certification and a 44% reduction in crease depth compared to the previous generation, creating a flatter, more immersive canvas. A silicon nitride–based anti-reflection stack reduces reflectivity to as low as 1.5%, while advanced 4320Hz PWM dimming[5] and AI Defocus Display enhance comfort during prolonged use. Together, these innovations make Magic V6 more refined and durable across everyday interaction.

When using its expansive unfolded display, AI-enhanced productivity features optimize multitasking, content creation and communication. Cross-ecosystem tools further enhance flexibility, positioning Magic V6 as a powerful companion device, seamlessly working alongside Apple’s ecosystem.

As the first foldable powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5[6], matched with advanced vapor chamber cooling for sustained performance, Magic V6 delivers ultra-smooth gaming, multitasking and demanding workloads, making it the truest expression of an AI-era foldable available today, engineered to endure and assist.

HONOR AI Ecosystem: MagicPad 4 and MagicBook Pro 14

Extending its AI-powered portfolio beyond smartphones, HONOR also introduced MagicPad 4 and MagicBook Pro 14 to its flagship ecosystem at MWC 2026.

HONOR MagicPad 4, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 mobile platform[5], brings flagship-class performance to an ultra-slim 4.8mm tablet form factor. Its category-leading 3K OLED display features a 165Hz refresh rate, and with AI-enhanced multitasking tools, MagicPad 4 is designed to support fluid productivity and content creation across its 12.3-inch display. As with Magic V6, cross-device collaboration enables seamless interaction alongside smartphones and multi-platform environments, including Apple’s ecosystem. Moreover, based on the new Linux Lab in Developer Options, we can successfully deploy and run the OpenClaw[7] AI assistant on HONOR MagicPad4, providing a more convenient environment and broader possibilities for unlocking more efficiency tools and productivity scenarios in the future.


HONOR MagicBook Pro 14 further strengthens HONOR’s AI-laptop offering, with performance driven by the Intel Core Ultra Series 3 Processors[8]. Engineered for sustained workloads, creative tasks and everyday efficiency, it pairs a color-accurate 14.6-inch OLED display with class-leading battery performance, intelligent performance management and an ultra-light design for enhanced portability.

Together, MagicPad 4 and MagicBook Pro 14 reinforce HONOR’s strategy of integrating AI across device categories, delivering connected, intelligent experiences beyond the smartphone.

Advancing Intelligent Devices and Robots for the AI Era

At its launch event, HONOR also unveiled its first humanoid robot, signaling a broader strategic move to leverage its expertise in mobile technology to create consumer-grade robots. HONOR’s robots will focus on three core scenarios: shopping assistance, workplace inspections, and especially supportive companionship. Unlike traditional robotics companies, HONOR brings a deep understanding of users developed through its smartphones and connected devices. This ecosystem continuity enables future embodied AI devices to recognize users, understand their needs and provide personalized physical assistance from the first interaction.

Together, Robot Phone, humanoid robot, HONOR Magic V6, MagicPad 4 and MagicBook Pro 14 demonstrate how HONOR is extending AHI across both digital and physical experiences. From embodied AI exploration to flagship foldable engineering and AI-powered productivity, each announcement reflects deeper integration of intelligence across hardware and software.

Availability and Pricing

HONOR Magic V6 will be available in select markets in H2 this year, with regional availability to be confirmed. Further details on configurations, color options and pricing will be announced locally.

HONOR MagicPad 4 will be available in Grey and White, starting at €699. Availability, configurations and promotional bundles may vary by region.

Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam – Media OutReach Newswire – 2 March 2026 – GreenSM has been honored at the Sensor Tower APAC Awards 2025 with the title of “Best EV Carpooling App.” The annual awards program, organized by global digital intelligence firm Sensor Tower, recognizes mobile applications demonstrating outstanding performance across the Asia–Pacific region.

Award recipients are evaluated entirely based on independent performance data, including key indicators such as downloads, monthly active users (MAU), growth rates, in-app purchase revenue, and user engagement. These metrics reflect sustained operational effectiveness and performance over time. Green SM’s recognition not only marks a breakthrough for the brand but also demonstrates consistent growth and sufficient operational stability to be recognized at a regional level.

According to the published results, Green SM achieved 114.4% year-on-year MAU growth in 2025 and ranked No. 1 in downloads among EV-focused carpooling platforms in the region. This performance reflects steady expansion across the company’s operating markets, including Vietnam, Laos, Indonesia, and the Philippines.

Behind these growth figures lies a systematically built operational foundation. Green SM maintains that growth is only sustainable when accompanied by the ability to deliver consistent service quality across all operating markets. Scaling its electric fleet while ensuring a uniform and reliable user experience has remained a central priority throughout the company’s development.

This operational stability benefits both sides of the platform. Passengers experience transparent, dependable services, while the Green Driver community operates within a clearly structured, long-term-oriented work environment. For Green SM, growth and quality control are pursued in parallel as two core pillars of sustainable development.

Mr. Nguyen Van Thanh – Global CEO of Green SM stated: “Recognition through an independent data evaluation system affirms that the fully electric mobility model we are pursuing is on the right track. More important than growth speed is the trust we earn from users in every market where we operate. That trust motivates us to continuously refine our fully electric mobility model, ensuring stable operations, structured technology deployment, and sustainable long-term development.”

In the context of an increasingly competitive mobile application landscape, recognition grounded in independent performance data demonstrates that Green SM’s growth is built on a structured, scalable operational platform. The ability of an electric mobility model to achieve strong regional growth while maintaining consistent service quality confirms that this is no longer an experimental alternative, but a practical direction for modern urban transportation.

Previously, Green SM was also honored at the VnExpress Tech Awards 2025 with the titles “Outstanding Ride-Hailing App” and “Vietnamese Tech Brand of the Year,” and received the “CXP Best Customer Experience Award,” which recognized its implementation capabilities and consistent operational standards across the system.
