TECNO POVA 8 Pro 5G Tonino Lamborghini Limited Edition features iconic Tonino Lamborghini design languages, while upholding the POVA series’ signature all-around performance from computing, imaging to AI.

HONG KONG, Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TECNO, the AI-driven innovative technology brand, today launched the TECNO POVA 8 Pro 5G Tonino Lamborghini Limited Edition. Crafted as an all-around high-performance device wrapped in distinctive design, it speaks to those who seek a life beyond the ordinary — driven by an unwavering passion for performance, uncompromised style and design excellence.

The POVA 8 Pro 5G Tonino Lamborghini Limited Edition answers this demand: iconic Italian design speaking strength and energy; a dual-chipset architecture delivering the speed; Sony sensors capturing vivid images, and an array of practical AI functions empowering users every day.

The collaboration, first announced in March, is driven by both brands’ desire to stand out through bold innovations. The multi-year partnership combines the best of both worlds: TECNO’s deep well of innovation, technical mastery, and intimate understanding of a new generation of users; as well as Tonino Lamborghini’s Italian craftsmanship, engineering and mechanical heritage, and an unmistakable lifestyle experience.

“Too often, phone makers choose the ‘safest option’ even at the loss of individuality. Meanwhile, TECNO is known to choose the road less taken with highly distinguishable designs and functions, revolutionizing the digital experiences of hundreds of millions,” said Jack Guo, general manager of TECNO. “The launch of TECNO POVA 8 Pro Tonino Lamborghini Limited Edition represents a defining moment for TECNO. With this model, we create not only a new product but a journey throughout the design, the interface, the configurations and even AI.”

“For over 45 years, I have translated the strength of my mechanical heritage and my eclectic vision into pioneering partnership, selected markets and products shaped by a distinctive idea of Italian lifestyle and an uncompromising personal spirit. With TECNO, we are proud to bring this vision into this category, where technology becomes more than function: it becomes character, identity and personal expression,” said Mr. Tonino Lamborghini, Founder and President of Tonino Lamborghini S.p.A. “The TECNO POVA 8 Pro 5G Tonino Lamborghini Limited Edition captures my bold spirit: precision, energy, craftsmanship and an unmistakable design attitude. It is not a style applied on the surface, but a character running through the product itself. Created for those who are not satisfied with ordinary technology, it is a smartphone with a story, with spirit and with a clear statement of lifestyle.”

Bold Design, in Every Layer
TECNO POVA 8 Pro 5G Tonino Lamborghini Limited Edition builds around the most unmistakable elements of the Tonino Lamborghini design: the black-and-red palette of charisma and energy; and a hexagon pattern of strength and endurance.

At its center lies the Pulse Line — the arresting visual focal point inspired by mechanical precision and the flow of kinetic energy.  Encircling it is the Signature Shield hexagonal pattern. Thanks to a dual-layer stacking process, the rear panel offers a refined reflective quality and includes countless internal mirror structures that refract and redirect light. As the phone rotates, red elements surface from and then dive into the light and shadows, as if raw energy flushes across the surface of the phone.

Between the two layers, a physical height difference creates genuine spatial depth, recreating the layered geometry found in mechanical designs. The Tonino Lamborghini logo, rendered in a premium metallic finish, anchors the composition as the testament of the aesthetics.

The boldness extends through the entire user experience. A bespoke interface theme reworks dozens of icons in a black-and-red palette with glass-like material effects. The boot animation unfolds with the Pulse Line and crimson energy. A customized “L” signature, part of the brand heritage, effect appears on the Alive Matrix Display with other pre-defined scenarios and customization options. The ringtone is also bespoke.

The model, meanwhile, is also unmistakably POVA with the trinity camera module. A dedicated One-Tap Button on the side provides instant access to favorite apps, customizable gaming actions, and quick shortcuts. At 7.39mm thin, the model hosts a 6,500mAh battery. Tests by TECNO show the battery operates normally from -20°C to 60°C and maintains over 80% health even after 2,000 complete charge cycles, or up to six years of battery life.

Bold Performance, in All Aspects
A dual-chipset architecture drives the performance of TECNO POVA 8 Pro 5G Tonino Lamborghini Limited Edition: A MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Ultimate 5G platform, a P1 Graphic Chip developed by TECNO, supported by a 5K IceShield Vapor Chamber Cooling System.

The 8-core MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Ultimate 5G platform features intelligent scheduling and is well-suited for large games and multi-tasking while maintaining superior power efficiency even on high-speed 5G networks.

The P1 Graphic Chip offloads GPU rendering to deliver up to 144FPS in supported mainstream titles like Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, PUBG, Call of Duty, and Honor of Kings; up to 90FPS in supported heavy titles like Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, and Wuthering Waves. 1.5K resolution is available across 30+ games, and so is HDR quality when supported*.

Managing heat is the 5K IceShield VC Cooling System. It includes a 5000mm² vapor chamber with a 9-layer thermal architecture with direct copper contact to the CPU, making the total heat dissipation area over 22,000mm². Even in heated temperatures, the phone continues to dissipate heat and perform effectively.

Bold Moments, in Clear Shots
TECNO POVA 8 Pro 5G Tonino Lamborghini Limited Edition is equipped with LYTIA™ 700C OIS main camera, co-engineered with Sony and built around a 1/1.56-inch sensor. The sensor features 2×2 OCL (On-Chip Lens) technology, enabling faster and more precise autofocus even in challenging lighting conditions.

The Sony’s LYTIA™ 700C sensor also delivers a larger light-sensitive area and a clear advantage in night photography and low-light scenarios. The integrated OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) further reduces blur from hand shakes, making handheld shots sharper and video recording steadier.

For those looking for details, TECNO POVA 8 Pro 5G Tonino Lamborghini Limited Edition supports 2× lossless zoom and a dedicated 50MP high-pixel mode. In addition, it includes an 8MP ultra-wide camera for capturing expansive landscapes and group shots, and a 13MP front camera for selfies and video calls.

Bold Visuals, in Vivid Colors
A 6.78-inch 1.5K 144Hz HyperLux AMOLED screen with adaptive refresh rate balances performance and battery life. The DCI-P3 wide color gamut standard, used in Hollywood film production ensures faithful restoration of blockbusters on the screen. The peak brightness reaches 4,500 nits. With a 240Hz touch sampling rate and a 2,800Hz instantaneous touch sampling rate, the screen is also hyper-accurate and responsive, giving users an edge in both browsing and gaming.

Additionally, Wet & Oily Finger Touch Recognition 2.0 keeps the screen responsive even in heavy rain, with sweaty hands, or when hands contact fat, oil, or lubricants. You can also control your phone effortlessly inside a waterproof pouch while showering or enjoying water activities.

Bold Life, with Practical AI
The TECNO POVA 8 Pro 5G Tonino Lamborghini Limited Edition delivers practical AI functions for real-world benefits, from productivity to health.

AI YouTube Summary recognizes copied YouTube links and turns lengthy videos into clear notes with timeline markers, key points and structured summaries. All-Scenario Noise Cancellation automatically identifies the “voiceprint” of the intended speaker and filters out all other noises — including other human voices in the background. Users can switch among modes to adapt to their environment, from calls, recordings, to meetings, and ensure their voice cuts through the background noise of busy commutes or crowded offices.

AI LightMaster 2.0 enhances photography by removing unwanted flares, reflections, and shadows, ensuring photos are polished and ready for confident sharing. With AI Health** in select markets, users can measure key health metrics including blood pressure, blood oxygen, heart rate and respiration with only a face scan.

These AI functions join a broader suite of smart tools, from AI Writing for rewriting, polishing, and summarizing text, to the AI Theme Generator that creates completely customized phone themes.

Bold Perseverance, on All Occasions
The TECNO POVA 8 Pro 5G Tonino Lamborghini Limited Edition is engineered to endure. Corning Gorilla Glass 7i, industry-leading IP69/69K/68/66 dust and water resistance and SGS 5-Star Drop Resistance certification suggest the device is reliable against the elements: from scratches, sand and rain to drops.

To ensure a secure and smooth experience for years to come, the device runs on HiOS 16 and will receive two major Android OS upgrades and three years of security patches. TECNO also offers three years of free 256 GB cloud storage, and in select markets, eligible users can access a 3-month Google AI Plus (2 TB) extended trial at no charge. The trial brings more access to Google AI and 2 TB of cloud storage***.

*FPS, 1.5K resolution, and HDR support may vary by game, version, settings, and actual usage. All game names and trademarks belong to their respective owners.
** For reference purposes only and is not a medical device.
** For more information on eligibility of the Google AI Plus trial, please check the terms and conditions.

Rho Launches Card Payments on Invoices, Letting Businesses Accept Credit Card, Debit Card, and Google Pay

Rho Invoicing customers can now accept credit card payments on invoices alongside ACH and wire, from the same account they already use for banking, with invoices syncing automatically to QuickBooks Online

NEW YORK, Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Rho, the all-in-one finance platform for businesses, today announced that Rho Invoicing customers can now accept credit and debit card payments, including Google Pay, directly on their invoices. The feature is rolling out to eligible Rho Invoicing customers and adds to the existing ACH, domestic wire, and international wire options already available on Rho invoices. No separate merchant account, no new dashboard, and no waiting on a wire.

Here is how it works for the payer: your client opens the invoice, enters their card information, and pays in a few clicks. Card payments carry a processing fee of 2.9% plus $0.30 per transaction, paid by the business issuing the invoice and deducted from the payment before depositing into your account. Inbound ACH and wire stay free, and the payer never sees a surcharge at checkout. Card payments cover USD-denominated invoices and have a default daily limit of $10,000 across all of a business’s invoices, which can be raised on request.

An invoice is marked paid once the payout is initiated, and funds follow on card-network timelines rather than instantly. A business’s first card payment can take up to two weeks to deposit while Stripe, which powers Rho’s card payment features, completes its initial review.

Rho Invoicing remains free for all Rho customers, aside from card processing fees, and supports up to 100 line items per invoice with per-line sales tax, recurring billing, payment matching, and a fully white-labeled template that carries the business’s brand rather than Rho’s, with virtual account numbers that keep the business’s actual bank details private. Rho invoices sync into QuickBooks Online as accounts receivable through Rho’s direct integration, so AR aging stays accurate without duplicate entry.

Card payments run through the same Rho account a business already uses for banking, corporate cards, and bill pay. No merchant account. No second dashboard. No new password to add to a growing list. Getting paid should not add another tool to the financial stack.

Availability is limited to eligible Rho Invoicing customers for USD-denominated invoices. Access to and enablement of card payment functionality requires completion of Stripe’s verification process and is subject to third-party underwriting and approval, which is not guaranteed.

Amwell® is transforming virtual care delivery through its unified Amwell Platform, combining interoperability, clinical integration, and intelligent orchestration to improve access, efficiency, and outcomes.

SAN ANTONIO, Sept. 4, 2026 /CNW/ — As healthcare organizations move beyond fragmented telehealth solutions toward connected virtual care models, Amwell is helping redefine how digital care is delivered at scale. Frost & Sullivan is pleased to recognize Amwell with the 2026 United States Technology Innovation Leadership Recognition in the Technology-Enabled Care Platforms industry for its ability to address healthcare fragmentation through a unified platform that connects patients, health plan members, clinicians, and partner ecosystems across the care continuum.

Frost & Sullivan evaluates companies through a rigorous benchmarking process across two core dimensions: strategy effectiveness and strategy execution. Amwell excelled in both, demonstrating its ability to align strategic initiatives with evolving healthcare needs while executing with flexibility, scalability, and measurable customer impact. “The combination of reliability, flexibility, and clinically integrated workflows positions the Amwell Platform as a strategic enabler for organizations seeking to reduce fragmentation, improve member engagement with covered programs, expand access to care, and create more connected healthcare experiences,” said Sagar Mukhekar, Industry Analyst, Frost & Sullivan.

Guided by a strategy centered on connected care, interoperability, and continuous, digital innovation, Amwell has positioned the Amwell Platform as an operating layer for next-generation healthcare delivery. Rather than relying on disconnected point solutions, the platform integrates technology, services, and clinical intelligence to orchestrate personalized care experiences across virtual primary care, urgent care, behavioral health, chronic condition management, and specialized digital programs.

Backed by 20 years of technology-enabled care innovation, more than 90 million covered lives, and over 38.7 million virtual visits, Amwell continues to help health plans and healthcare organizations modernize digital care delivery at scale.

“As healthcare becomes more digital, it risks becoming more fragmented. Health plans need more than point solutions. They need enterprise infrastructure, clinical integration, and an open platform that brings partners and programs together. Our vision at Amwell is that technology creates value when it improves access, engagement, quality, and efficiency, and produces measurable clinical and business outcomes. We’re honored by this recognition from Frost & Sullivan,” said Dan Zamansky, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Amwell.

Amwell’s enterprise scale includes supporting the digital transformation of the Defense Health Agency’s Military Health System, serving approximately 9.6 million beneficiaries. The company’s commitment to measurable outcomes is also reflected in a landmark National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)-funded study, published in Nature Human Behaviour and among the largest studies of its kind. The study found that students offered SilverCloud® by Amwell® engaged in mental healthcare at more than double the rate of traditional care, experienced lower rates of mental health disorders, and generated an estimated $1.18 million in avoided costs for the study population.

The company further differentiates its platform through intelligent orchestration and navigation, helping guide members to appropriate programs while giving clinicians visibility across care plans. Amwell also evaluates integrated third-party programs for clinical effectiveness, scalability, and enterprise readiness.

Frost & Sullivan commends Amwell for setting a high standard in competitive strategy, execution, and technological innovation. The company’s unified approach to digital care is helping reduce fragmentation, improve access, strengthen operational efficiency, and support more equitable and sustainable healthcare delivery.

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents the Technology Innovation Leadership Recognition to a company that demonstrates outstanding strategy development and implementation, resulting in measurable improvements in market share, customer satisfaction, and competitive positioning. The recognition identifies forward-thinking organizations that are reshaping their industries through innovation and growth excellence.

Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Recognition

Frost & Sullivan’s Best Practices Recognitions honor companies across regional and global markets that exhibit exceptional achievement and consistent excellence in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer experience, and strategic product development. Each recognition is the result of a rigorous analytical process in which Frost & Sullivan industry experts benchmark performance through comprehensive interviews, deep-dive analysis, and extensive secondary research. The goal is to identify true best-in-class organizations that are driving transformative growth and setting new industry standards.

By

BERLIN, Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At IFA 2026, Midea brings its “Simply ideal” vision to life through the latest innovations, designed to bring greater intelligence, comfort, efficiency and ease to the home.

The exhibition also highlights Midea’s new five-year partnership with FC Barcelona.

The Midea Suites: Ways to Master the Home

The new SMART MASTER showcases Midea’s AI-powered home ecosystem. The AI Agent enables more natural, intuitive interaction with appliances across daily household scenarios. Midea Robot brings AI into the physical world through cooking, cleaning, laundry, care and whole-home control.

At IFA 2026, Midea unveiled its new AI voice-controlled air conditioner. Cliff Liang, General Manager of Enterprise Commercial for the China Region at Microsoft, joined the Midea event and shared Microsoft’s perspective on the next phase of AI.

AI ECOMASTER coordinates appliances and connected systems through intelligent power management. It learns household routines and adapts to changing needs for greater flexibility and comfort.

For homes where every inch counts, SPACE MASTER delivers more usable capacity within the same external dimensions, as demonstrated by the refrigerator’s expanded storage.

Alongside the MASTER Suites, the BUILT-IN Series includes the Milanese-inspired Ispira Series, combining cohesive design with intelligent functionality for an integrated cooking experience.

The Midea Scenarios: Innovation for Everyday Living

Comfort begins with the air around us. Midea’s R290 Series responds to growing demand for efficient cooling. It combines advanced compressor and safety-sealing technologies with ultra-low-GWP R290 refrigerant, delivering around 10% higher energy efficiency. Residential applications include H-Pack and PortaSplit, with PortaSplit set to adopt R290 in 2027.

In the kitchen, technology simplifies daily routines, from food storage and cooking to after-meal care. The Visionary Series refrigerators make food easier to see and access through GlassVision, hands-free lighting and clear, even illumination.

The InfiniteFit Series hobs feature an ultra-slim design for seamless integration into European kitchens, while OmniFlex enables flexible cookware placement. The PizzaPro built-in oven combines rapid heating with an 81L cavity, balancing speed with capacity.

After the meal, the Tri-GreenApex System brings washing, drying and storage together while using around 50% less energy than required for Europe’s highest A rating.

Laundry brings its own everyday needs. Midea’s family laundry room concept combines multi-drum solutions for different garment-care needs, allowing separate loads to run at the same time. The OMNI SERIES offers flexible combinations to suit different household routines.

Tobin Richardson, President and CEO of the Connectivity Standards Alliance, introduced Matter at Midea’s booth, highlighting its open, secure, interoperable framework and Midea’s role in advancing smart appliance connectivity.

Partnership and Brand Portfolio

At IFA 2026, Midea celebrated its partnership through an immersive FC Barcelona experience at its booth. FC Barcelona legend Carles Puyol made a special appearance, sharing insights from his career on leadership, teamwork and the pursuit of excellence. His presence reflected Midea and FC Barcelona’s shared commitment to world-class performance.

As part of Midea Group’s multi-brand portfolio, TEKA presents its latest innovations under the “Meaningful Experiences Through Technology” concept, including its new coffee machine range, the In-Line Series and Laundry Care solutions, bringing European design and functionality to modern living.
