SHENZHEN, China, March 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Smart wearables maker Mibro is entering the U.S. market with two sports-focused smartwatches, bringing with it a track record built alongside athletes and sports clubs in Europe.

The U.S. launch marks Mibro’s biggest step yet in its global expansion, as the brand targets American athletes, outdoor enthusiasts and everyday fitness users under its tagline: “Live Smart, Go Active.”

Founded in 2015, Mibro employs more than 500 R&D staff united by a single idea: smart wearables should help people improve, not just log metrics. Its products put that idea into practice, combining thoughtful design with advanced sports-tracking algorithms and elite-spec hardware. The result: everyday companions built to keep up with the people who wear them.

The approach has cultivated a global user base of 4.2 million, particularly across Europe, where the brand works with top-tier clubs and individual athletes to develop and validate its technology in real-world training and outdoor conditions.

In padel, the fast-growing racquet sport sweeping the continent, Mibro’s AI-driven analysis helps competitive players identify weaknesses and refine technique by recognizing six distinct stroke types with 92.2% recognition accuracy. Developed and validated through real matches, real courts and real players across Spain and France, the technology has been adopted by professional and amateur clubs in both countries.

That proven ability to turn raw performance data into practical coaching insight now underpins the two products leading the U.S. launch:

  • Mibro Explorer S–TI Standard: A rugged outdoor watch with 100-meter water resistance and 10 military-grade durability certifications, built for extreme conditions from diving to mountaineering.
  • Mibro GS Pro 2: A flagship sports smartwatch designed for triathlon and multi-sport training, with comprehensive fitness monitoring and 20 days’ battery life.

Both products carry the same promise the brand has delivered to millions worldwide: helping people stay active and celebrate every step forward. They are available now through Mibro’s official website and Amazon official store.

About Mibro

Mibro is a smart wearables brand built for sports and outdoor exploration. Headquartered in Shanghai with a global sales center in Shenzhen, the brand develops smart, reliable and user-friendly devices designed to help people push their limits.

TECNO CAMON 50 Ultra 5G Achieves Highest Camera Score Under $600, Named a Top Multi-Skin Tone Rendering Phone by DXOMARK Insights

BARCELONA, Spain, March 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At MWC Barcelona 2026, TECNO and DXOMARK jointly unveiled the latest findings from the DXOMARK Riyadh Insights study. The initiative, designed to understand user preferences and pain points in portrait photography, confirming CAMON 50 Ultra 5G as a breakthrough device in portrait photography and multi-skin tone rendering. Underscoring its exceptional imaging capabilities, the CAMON 50 Ultra 5G achieved an impressive DXOMARK overall camera score of 146—the highest for smartphones under $600—along with a stellar portrait score of 142, ranking among the top in its price segment.

Powered by TECNO’s proprietary Universal Tone technology—an advanced imaging architecture trained on extensive global skin tone datasets and AI algorithms—TECNO CAMON 50 Ultra 5G was recognized as a “Compelling Choice for Multi-Skin Tone Rendering Phone Under $600 based on DXOMARK Insights. The device further solidified its position as a strong contender for multi-skin tone rendering in its price segment, based on DXOMARK Insights. This marks another milestone in TECNO’s ongoing mission to end skin tone bias in imaging technology.

“With CAMON 50 Ultra 5G, TECNO places a strong emphasis on natural and inclusive skin tone rendering in portrait photography, powered by its proprietary Universal Tone technology,” commented Frédéric Guichard, CEO of DXOMARK, “The DXOMARK Insights study conducted in the critical and diverse market of Saudi Arabia, involving real end users representing a broad spectrum of globally common skin tones, confirms that its bright and engaging image style, with a well-balanced white balance, closely matches how users naturally see and experience the scene. This is further enabled by the CAMON 50 Ultra 5G’s HDR photo capabilities, delivering a wide dynamic range that remains rare in this price segment. Combined, these strengths make the CAMON 50 Ultra stand out as a compelling choice for accurate and inclusive skin tone rendering under $600.”

New DXOMARK Research Reveals Portrait Leadership

The 2026 Riyadh Insights study by DXOMARK, fielded in Saudi Arabia, engaged total of 75 local consumers, coupled with a diverse panel of skin tone models representing a spectrum from light to deep complexions. This research evaluated four smartphones through the analysis of more than 40,000 photo comparisons.

CAMON 50 Ultra 5G ranked among the most preferred devices across all tested scenes – indoor, outdoor, low-light and night. When placed alongside ultra-premium smartphones priced well above its segment, it was favored for more radiant and pleasing skin tones, an advantage driven by higher facial brightness, precise color rendering and exceptionally well-balanced white balance. Universal Tone technology not only meets flagship standards; it is often preferred for its brighter, more flattering portraits.

Against a device renowned for its clinical color fidelity—long considered an industry benchmark for accuracy— CAMON 50 Ultra 5G delivered equivalent levels of accuracy, yet with rendering that users described as more vivid and true-to-life, striking a balance that devices focused solely on clinical precision often miss.

Indoor photography emerged as CAMON 50 Ultra 5G’s clear stronghold. While competitors struggle with warm, uneven or mixed artificial lighting, the CAMON stood out decisively: It got the highest satisfaction index level among others, and 63% of consumers preferred it over all other tested smartphones in indoor scenes.  Users consistently praised its ability to preserve luminous, faithful skin tones under complex lighting – a direct result of Universal Tone’s capacity to separate subject from lighting noise and keep skin tones the focal point of every frame.

Across all key metrics, including multi-skin tone accuracy, user preference, facial brightness and white balance control, the CAMON 50 Ultra 5G ranked highest in its price category. DXOMARK Insights data confirms its imaging performance extends well beyond its price segment, delivering flagship-grade quality at a fraction of the cost and making premium portrait photography accessible to a far wider audience, redefining what users can expect from a sub-$600 smartphone.

TECNO Universal Tone: A Continuing Commitment to Inclusive Imaging

Since launching Universal Tone technology in 2023, TECNO has championed the belief that every skin tone deserves accurate, beautifully representation. What began as a commitment to end skin tone bias in mobile imaging has evolved into the industry’s most advanced full-spectrum skin tone rendering system, powered by a proprietary 372 skin tone database developed with color science experts from leading global universities.

True to its “Glocalization” strategy, TECNO partners with academic institutions worldwide to tailor imaging algorithms to regional diversity. From Saudi Arabia to Southeast Asia, these collaborations capture local skin tone spectra, lighting conditions, and cultural perceptions of authenticity, turning subjective ideals of “real” into measurable, industry-applicable standards.

With Universal Tone at its core, CAMON 50 Ultra 5G brings this vision to life: capturing people of all ethnicities and complexions not just correctly, but with radiance and respect. For consumers, this means clearer, more authentic images in which their own skin tones and individuality are accurately reflected, transforming everyday photography into a more confident and joyful experience.

UK energy transition council-Lao PDR national diaiogue.

The British Embassy in Vientiane recently hosted a National Dialogue on Clean Energy Transition to support Laos in its push for more sustainable energy.

Co-organized with the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, the Energy Transition Council (ETC), and the UK Aid-funded Climate Compatible Growth (CCG) program, the event brought together government officials, energy experts, and international partners to discuss Laos’ energy challenges and future plans.

The Vice Minister of Industry and Commerce highlighted Laos’ goal to increase renewable energy to 30 percent of its power mix by 2030.

“We’re focusing on moving beyond hydropower to include solar and wind. By 2050, we aim to have a near-zero emissions power sector and enhance electricity trade within ASEAN,” the minister said.

The British Ambassador, Melanie Barlow, confirmed the UK’s support for Laos’ energy transition.

“Lao PDR is an important partner for the UK in energy and climate action. The Energy Transition Council gives us a chance to collaborate on achieving Laos’ renewable energy goals,” she said.

Priorities

The dialogue focused on three priorities: speeding up renewable energy deployment, exploring storage and hydrogen solutions, and improving Laos’ energy grid. Experts from the Asian Development Bank, the CCG program, and Laos’ power utility (EDL) discussed how to modernize Laos’ energy infrastructure.

As part of its commitments under the Paris Agreement, Laos aims to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 60 percent by 2030 and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. The meeting emphasized the importance of investment, regional cooperation, and technology in reaching these goals.

The British Embassy and the Ministry of Industry and Commerce agreed that the private sector and international partners must work together to drive Laos’ clean energy future.

The Energy Transition Council and the CCG program will continue offering technical support to help Laos meet its clean energy targets.

The Lao government and a Thai private company signed a 100MW solar project feasibility study agreement in Bolikhamxay Province.

The Government of Laos and Thai company APDL Solar Power Sole Co., Ltd. signed an agreement on 25 February to conduct a feasibility study for a 100-megawatt solar power project in Bolikhamxay Province, adding to the country’s expanding renewable energy agenda.

Under the agreement, the solar farm will be developed in Nam Ngiep village, Paksan district, covering an estimated area of 140.23 hectares.  Officials selected the site based on its strong solar potential, citing favorable sunlight conditions and ample land availability suited for large-scale power generation. 

Representatives from APDL Solar Power also reaffirmed their commitment to supporting Laos’ green energy transition, emphasizing that the Nam Ngiep location offers compelling prospects for sustainable and long-term solar development.

The project directly supports Laos’ national renewable energy strategy, which aims to achieve an 11 percent share of variable renewable energy,  specifically solar and wind power, within the national energy mix by 2030. 

This latest agreement follows a similar deal concluded on 11 February, when Électricité du Laos, the state electricity enterprise, partnered with a South Korean private company to explore the development of another 100MW solar project in Oudomxay Province. The planned project will cover around 150 hectares across Namhin Reservoir in Xay District, with construction expected to begin in 2027.

The country also inaugurated a 1,000MW solar power facility in mid-December 2025, the largest solar farm in Laos. The project was developed across approximately 2,090 hectares in Xay and Namor district of Oudomxay.

The two vehicles join the Lac Hong line – VinFast’s ultra-luxury marque – alongside its established VF mass-market passenger vehicle range and Green commercial mobility brand.

Lac Hong 900S

Under this clearly defined brand structure, Lac Hong represents the pinnacle of ultra-luxury, conceived to honor national pride and currently comprising the 900 LX, 900S and 800S models. The VF line encompasses a comprehensive portfolio of mass-market passenger EVs across segments, from VF 3 to VF 9, including the seven-seat VF MPV 7. Meanwhile, the Green brand is purpose-developed for commercial and service mobility solutions, featuring models such as Limo Green, Herio Green, Nerio Green and Minio Green.

Alongside the structured and clearly defined development of its three strategic brand lines, VinFast has officially unveiled two new ultra-luxury models, the Lac Hong 800S and 900S. These additions expand the Lac Hong ultra-luxury collection, complementing the flagship 900 LX (including a world-leading advanced armored version) introduced in 2025.

Inspired by Vietnam’s cultural heritage and embodying the courage, intellect and stature of the nation, the new models deliver design and craftsmanship on par with the world’s most prestigious ultra-luxury vehicles. The Lac Hong 800S projects a bold, powerful and refined aesthetic, while the Lac Hong 900S reflects timeless, classical values expressed through enduring elegance.

Both models share a cohesive, brand-specific design language enriched with symbolic detailing and premium materials. The grille features straight vertical slats inspired by the resilience of Vietnamese bamboo, while the wing-shaped emblem evokes the Lac bird in ascent. Decorative motifs derived from the Dong Son bronze drum and terraced rice fields are thoughtfully integrated and intentionally repeated across exterior and interior elements, celebrating cultural heritage and national pride.

In terms of performance, both models are equipped with an all-new fully active suspension system engineered to deliver exceptional ride comfort and dynamic stability. They can be configured with a tri-motor powertrain comprising one front motor and two rear motors, generating a combined output of up to 460 kW and ensuring commanding performance aligned with their ultra-luxury positioning.

The Lac Hong 800S and 900S are scheduled for commercial launch in 2027.

Ms. Duong Thi Thu Trang, Deputy CEO of Global Automotives at VinFast, stated: “Following a period of accelerated growth – achieving the No.1 position in Vietnam and establishing our presence in key regional markets – the completion of our three-brand structure lays the foundation for our next phase of development: structured, professional and breakthrough-driven. The Lac Hong 800S and 900S stand as further proof of VinFast’s technological mastery, product development capability and advanced manufacturing expertise.
