Dubai – October 19, 2026 -- The HONOR X9e Pro pairs an 11,000mAh silicon-carbon battery with a 3-metre marble drop rating, IP68, IP69 and IP69K protection, and a body about 8.08mm thin and roughly 203g.

HONOR frames the phone as the latest step in an X Series that has raised its durability bar with each generation. Two of those generations have also earned Guinness World Records titles.

X9a and X9b made the screen and frame tougher

The X9a used 0.65mm reinforced glass rated to withstand more than 900MPa of stress. HONOR tested it with marble drops, squeezing, rolling and steel-ball impact.

The X9b added 360-degree whole-device protection and drop resistance from up to 1.5 metres. It became the first smartphone in the industry to receive Switzerland's SGS Five-Star Overall Drop Resistance Certification.

Dubai – – October 17, 2026 -- UAE residents can see LG's new OLED evo W6 True Wireless Wallpaper TV in person at pop-up locations across the country this winter, and one visitor will win the TV at the end of the campaign.

The tour starts at The Lotus Lounge at Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort and runs from 16 to 19 October 2026. LG describes the stop as the regional debut of the W6.

The W6 is 9.95 mm deep and has no cable clutter

The W6 mounts flush against the wall with zero gaps. LG's Zero Connect wireless technology sends lossless 4K video and audio to an AV box placed up to 10 meters away, so no cables are visible.

It is also billed as the world's first True Wireless TV to transmit 4K at 165Hz. It supports Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, Variable Refresh Rate, NVIDIA G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium.

Dubai – – October 15, 2026 -- The Gorenje G800 oven combines a 77-litre interior, more than 70 automatic cooking programs and a self-cleaning cycle, built for evenings when two dinner guests turn into six.

A 77-litre cavity replaces the two-batch dinner

The large interior takes wide trays without wrestling them into place. Several dishes can run at once across all shelves, so roasting, baking and reheating happen in parallel instead of in two rounds. According to the source, heat stays consistent across every level, which removes the need to rotate trays every fifteen minutes.

AutoBake handles more than 70 dishes from weight alone

The AutoBake feature includes over 70 pre-tested programs. You select a dish, enter its weight and press start. There is no preheating and no temperature calculation. Gorenje's pitch is to "press start and get on with your evening."

Abu Dhabi – October 14, 2026 -- Visitors to Zayed National Museum can see 6,500-year-old wild camel bones when the museum opens its first temporary exhibition, Tracks Through Time: The Camel in Society, Trade and Art, in early December 2026.

The show coincides with the museum's first anniversary. The museum describes it as the world's first exhibition to comprehensively explore more than 7,000 years of camel history in the UAE and the wider region.

Ancient bones show wild camels, then domesticated ones

Wild camel bones from the Baynunah archaeological site in Abu Dhabi date to the Neolithic Period (4,500-4,000 BCE). They are on loan from Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi. Remains from Al Sufouh in Dubai date to the Bronze Age (2,500-1,300 BCE) and come from Dubai Culture and Arts Authority. According to the museum, it is the first time detailed evidence of the now-extinct wild camel species will be shown to the public.
