For his part, Alberto Camardiel, Executive Director of Marketing, Products, and Services at Bancamiga, stated that for Bancamiga, innovation is not just a goal, but the driving force behind each of its products.

“Today, with the official launch of the Zona Pay credit card, we are taking a firm step in that direction by consolidating our strategic alliance with Zona Tech, one of the most influential technology chains in the country. This new card is not just a financial instrument. It is a solution designed to connect Venezuelans with the latest technology in a real, responsible, and efficient way,” he said.

Efficient and reliable performance

The Hyundai Creta is equipped with a 1.5L 4-cylinder engine, capable of generating 113 HP and 144 Nm of torque, coupled with a 6-speed automatic transmission and 2WD.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg participated in the launch last week of the Meta Ray-Ban Smart Glasses, which feature a digital display on the right lens, along with other products, such as the Oakley Vanguard glasses, designed for athletes.

The price of Meta’s new glasses, which will be available in stores on September 30, is expected to be $800, and they are part of the company’s plan to “extend the momentum of its Ray-Ban line, one of the first consumer successes of the artificial intelligence era.”

At the event, where the company’s CEO joked about some operational glitches, it was revealed that the small digital display on the right lens will offer basic functions such as notifications.

Zuckerberg has touted the smart glasses as the ideal device for superintelligence (a concept in which AI surpasses human intelligence in every possible way) because they serve as a personal, always-on interface that can see, hear, and interact with the world from the user’s perspective.

The console includes 256 GB of internal storage and a new button for online play, called the C button, to activate an application called Game Chat that will facilitate communication between friends.

Another new feature is the improved microphone; support for split-screen over the internet. This makes it easier for multiple players to share a game in real time from different locations, and a camera that will allow video streaming of the player while playing.

Google announced that the new Android 16 beta is now available with new settings, icons, and camera features for professional users.

The update comes less than a week after the first beta version of Android 16. It is known to bring a lot of new features both in terms of aesthetics and functionality. In this sense, Android 16 Beta 2 includes new camera features such as “hybrid autoexposure, which allows third-party applications to control some aspects of the exposure while the algorithm takes care of the rest; more precise color temperature and tint adjustments when recording videos, allowing content creators to have greater control over the quality of their productions.”

These new features are intended to improve the capture of moving photos to offer greater sharpness, as well as improvements in the UltraHDR mode, “which now supports the capture of images in HEIC and AVIF formats, offering greater quality and dynamic range in photographs.”

In terms of aesthetics, the user will notice “new icons within black circles and a “Settings” section with a darker background.” But the most important thing are three very interesting new functions: first, there is a new widget for the home screen that allows you to change user profiles quickly and easily; second, a new gesture for the power button allows you to open Google Wallet with a double press; and third, “regional preferences now allow you to configure the region, temperature, measurement system, and the first day of the week, making it easier to adapt the system to the preferences of each user.”

The launch of the new Xiaomi 15 Ultra has been delayed until next year. Recently leaked information indicates that the company wants to offer a higher-quality battery to users.

Originally, it was learned that “the Xiaomi 15 Ultra would have a battery of between 5,450 and 5,800 mAh, but Xiaomi wanted to implement a 6,000 mAh battery, since it knows that is what its rivals will do.”

In any case, the reason for the delay in the launch is that Xiaomi wants “a higher-capacity battery” and is studying a redesign. On the other hand, “it wants the telephoto lens to be as tight as possible to offer a photographic experience never seen before.”

For now, in terms of equipment and appearance details, it will have a “6.7-inch LTPO OLED display, 120 Hz refresh rate, micro-curved edges and a fingerprint sensor under the panel.” The finish will be leather, fiberglass or ceramic; it will incorporate the new Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, as well as different RAM configurations, and which would start at 12 GB.

Spanish bank BBVA announced that it is working on its own stablecoin with the support of credit card issuer Visa.

According to Francisco Maroto, head of digital assets and blockchain, the bank is ready to join the stablecoin market, although it is not yet known “if the asset will be backed by deposits, market funds or fiat currencies.”

BBVA is in the testing or sandbox phase, “within a Visa program designed to facilitate the creation of tokenized assets, called Visa Tokenized Asset Platform (VTAP).”

The bank plans to move towards the prototype stage to begin live operations in 2025. At the moment, it has not been announced whether the stablecoin will be backed by “bank deposits, money market funds or fiat currencies such as the euro or the US dollar.”

According to Maroto, the goal of BBVA’s stablecoin is to be used in the settlement layer of cryptocurrency exchanges. “We realized that blockchain technology can revolutionize the way we exchange value digitally and, consequently, change the way the financial system works,” the official told Fortune.

Regarding the decision to partner with Visa, he highlighted that they evaluated the company’s prestige and its adherence to European regulations, alluding to the MiCA Law.

Moroto hinted at the possibility of BBVA launching its own euro-based stablecoin, thanks to its extensive presence in Europe, and that it be used in “settlement in markets that offer tokenized assets, with BBVA managing the minting and burning processes to integrate these ecosystems.”

It is important to remember that the Spanish bank already offers custody and marketing services for “bitcoin, ether (ETH) and USD Coin (USDC) in Switzerland for private and institutional banking clients, and is currently seeking to expand into Turkey.”
