Is Ahmed Charai Right About Iran’s Strategy?

A recent TV Abraham podcast, amplified by TV Abraham’s network, features a compelling interview with renowned strategic analyst Ahmed Charai. Charai provides a masterclass on the current geopolitical analysis of the shifting Middle East landscape. His perspective is clear the region is at a critical juncture and the actions taken today by global powers will define regional stability for decades. Anyone interested in regional security must hear his argument on why Iran has reached a historic crossroads. Iran's at historic turning point: Charai argues that Iran is at a turning point due to a perfect storm of internal pressure and eroding regional influence. He notes the regime's increasing reliance on domestic repression alongside its fraying proxy networks. While these factors alone do not guarantee immediate systemic change, Charai emphasizes that they narrow the regime's margin for maneuver, creating unique possibilities for future transformation. He suggests this is the...

Samsung Galaxy S26 Rumors: Release Date, Price, Specs, and Everything We Know So Far



Hey folks in Pakistan and beyond! As a tech enthusiast from Karachi, I’m buzzing with excitement about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 series. With our love for high-end smartphones here – from snapping pics at Clifton Beach to gaming late into the night this could be a game-changer. Samsung’s next flagship lineup is set to drop soon, and leaks are flying thick and fast. Drawing from the latest buzz, including reports from The Independent, here’s a roundup of all the juicy details on the Galaxy S26, S26 Plus, and S26 Ultra. Let’s dive in!


Samsung Galaxy S26 Release Date: When’s It Hitting Pakistan?

Samsung usually kicks off the year with its S-series, but this time, it’s playing it different. Rumors point to a late February unveil at Galaxy Unpacked, specifically on February 25, 2026, in San Francisco. That’s according to top leakers like Ice Universe and Evan Blass. Pre-orders could start the next day, with the official on-sale date around March 11, 2026 avoiding Friday the 13th, apparently for good luck!


Why the delay? Word is, Samsung scrapped the ultra-slim Galaxy Edge due to poor sales, shifting production timelines. For us in Pakistan, expect availability shortly after global launch through official stores and carriers like Jazz or Telenor. Can’t wait?


Samsung Galaxy S26 Price: What’ll It Cost in PKR?

Prices are always a hot topic here in Pakistan, where we hunt for value-packed deals. Good news leaks suggest no major hike in the US, so hopefully the same for us. The base S26 might start at around £799 (roughly PKR 280,000, depending on exchange rates), S26 Plus at £999 (about PKR 350,000), and the Ultra at £1,249 (around PKR 440,000). But watch out for potential increases due to RAM shortages from the AI boom, as per Korean reports.

If you’re eyeing imports or local deals, follow leakers on X for price drops. For instance, check this tweet from Androidheadline on the S26 Ultra’s privacy feature it’s got fans speculating on premium pricing.



Samsung Galaxy S26 Design and Display: Sleeker and Smarter?

Design-wise, it’s evolution over revolution. The S26 and S26 Plus look similar to the S25, but with a new vertical pill-shaped camera island kinda like the iPhone 17’s vibe. Screens are bumping up slightly: 6.3 inches for the S26 (from 6.2) and 6.7 for the Plus. Flat edges and rounded corners stay put. 


The Ultra steals the show with a slimmer frame (0.4mm thinner), metal rings around cameras, and that rumored “privacy display” to block side glances – perfect for crowded Karachi buses! It keeps the 6.9-inch display but upgrades to M14 OLED for better efficiency and up to 3,000 nits brightness. Oh, and Samsung might ditch titanium for aluminum to improve heat and weight.

Leaked renders are everywhere see this X post from Techotales sharing specs and images for a visual tease. Another one from Lakhwinder Singh on the series launch has got the community hyped.


Samsung Galaxy S26 Specs: Power Under the Hood

Performance is key for multitaskers like us. The S26 and Plus are tipped for Samsung’s Exynos 2600 chipset boasting killer NPU for AI and better GPU than Snapdragon rivals. The Ultra gets Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for top-tier speed. No worries on parity; Exynos is stepping up big time.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Cameras: Zooming In on Upgrades

Camera fans, temper expectations. The whole lineup keeps the 10MP 3x telephoto, but the Ultra shines with a 200MP main sensor at f/1.4 (better low-light) and 50MP 5x at f/2.9. Base models rely on software tweaks for improvements great for our Insta stories from Lahore’s food streets!


Samsung Galaxy S26 Battery: Longer Lasting Juice


Battery boosts are welcome in our power-outage prone country. S26 jumps to 4,300mAh (from 4,000), Ultra to 5,200mAh (from 5,000), Plus stays at 4,900mAh. Charging gets faster: 60W wired on Ultra (up from 45W), and Qi2 wireless across the board up to 25W with magnets for perfect alignment.


Wrap it up with One UI 8.5 goodies. For the best Samsung picks right now, here’s a solid roundup of top phones.


What do you think, Pakistan? Will the S26 Ultra be your next upgrade? Share in the comments

UK passes controversial Rwanda deportation bill: What's next for asylum seekers?

The UK government has dealt a blow to human rights groups with the passing of its 'Safety of Rwanda' bill, but legal challenges still loom over the controversial policy to deport asylum seekers to the East African nation.   On Tuesday, parliament voted through legislation that designates Rwanda as a "safe" destination for asylum processing, allowing the deportation of anyone who enters Britain illegally to go ahead. The bill aims to override a previous Supreme Court ruling that found the policy unlawful. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has vowed the first deportation flights will take off within months, promising removals "come what may" over the summer. However, questions remain over whether the plan will achieve its stated goals or withstand intense legal scrutiny. Months of delays The Rwanda plan has faced a rocky road since it was first announced in April. The initial flight in June was grounded after an injunction from the European Court of Human Rights.  La...
