A side-by-side demonstration of two Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra flagship smartphones (Model SM-S948) at the Samsung Display pavilion during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, on March 5, 2026. The device on the left is shown with the new Privacy Display (Flex Magic Pixel) mode disabled, maintaining a standard Dynamic AMOLED 2X wide viewing angle, while the device on the right has the privacy filter active, utilizing a specialized sub-pixel rendering to obscure the screen from side-axis viewing. Both devices are powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy processor (3nm) and feature the revamped ProVisual Engine to manage the display's 2,600 nits peak brightness. The 6.9-inch screen on the Ultra model is protected by Corning Gorilla Armor 2, which works in tandem with the privacy technology to reduce reflections. The demonstration also highlights the S26 Ultra's quad-camera system, including the 200-megapixel main sensor with a wider f/1.4 aperture and the 50-megapixel periscope telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom, as visitors test the software-based toggle that allows users to switch between maximum visibility and secure viewing for sensitive tasks like banking or messaging.

Nepali consumers wait in queue for their turn to take the half-filled gas cylinder at the Nepal Oil Corporation depot in Kathmandu, Nepal, on March 13, 2026, due to a shortage of cooking gas caused by the ongoing war between Israel and Iran. The state monopoly, Nepal Oil Corporation (NOC), starts rationing Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) or cooking gas to manage the demand surge as the war in East Asia enters its second week, halting the supply. Following orders from NOC, bottling plants start selling half-filled cylinders to customers, forcing people to stand in long lines for hours. According to the new provision, applicable to both household and hotel and restaurant users, a 7.1-kilogram cylinder, half the usual size, is distributed. The state monopoly claims that the move aims to conserve energy even though imports are not affected. A 7.1-kg cylinder of cooking gas costs NRs 955. The decision by the Nepal Oil Corporation comes after an interval of 5 years. NOC adopted similar measures during previous crises in 2015 and 2020 when the country suffered acute shortages of cooking gas. The fuel monopoly says supplies from India remain normal, but panic buying is increasing in the Kathmandu Valley. Queues at cooking gas depots grow after local groceries are unable to supply the fuel across the valley, following rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, a key fuel-supplying region for global markets.
