The Philippines made history at the 2026 Asian Games by securing its first-ever beach volleyball medal, a bronze, through a thrilling comeback victory against China. The Filipino duo of Khylem Harl Progella and Sofiah Shanine Pagara defeated China's Cao Shuting and Don Jie in a three-set match that went to a decisive third set. The match began with China dominating the first set 21-13, but the Philippine team rallied to win the second set 23-21 and clinched the bronze with a 15-13 victory in the third set. Progella and Pagara, both aged 20, displayed remarkable resilience, saving match points and overcoming a 20-19 deficit in the second set to force a decider. Their victory marked the Philippines' first medal in beach volleyball at the Asian Games, a sport that debuted in the 1998 edition. The duo had previously lost to Thailand in the semifinals, ending their gold medal hopes, but bounced back to secure the historic bronze. This achievement comes after the Philippine team had a strong preliminary round with a 3-0 record, defeating Hong Kong in the round of 16 and edging out top seed Japan in the semifinals. Meanwhile, the other Philippine beach volleyball pair, Sisi Rondina and Bernadeth Pons, were eliminated in the quarterfinals by Thailand. The victory is a significant milestone for Philippine beach volleyball, highlighting the growing competitiveness of Filipino athletes on the international stage. The win also contributes to the Philippines' overall medal tally at the Asian Games, adding to their previous successes in other sports. This bronze medal represents a breakthrough for the country in a sport where they had not previously medaled, showcasing the potential for future success in beach volleyball at major international competitions.

OnePlus nám toho o své chystané vlajce řeklo a ukázalo hodně. Telefon vypadá prakticky úplně stejně jako loňský model, ale bude dostupný v nových barvách. Uvnitř pak najdeme procesor Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6, nový 200Mpx hlavní fotoaparát, teleobjektiv z OnePlus 13 nebo 185Hz displej s ultra tenkými rámečky, jenž bude jako první na trhu fungovat ve 165 Hz napříč celým systémem. Nyní nám však zástupce OnePlus Li Jie Louis potvrzuje na sociální síti Weibo asi tu nejlákavější část výbavy. Nakonec měly spekulace pravdu a OnePlus 16 se pochlubí opravdu masivní 9000mAh baterií. To by bylo hodně i na střední třídu, kde se kapacity baterií rychle zvětšují, avšak ještě působivější je to na vlajku. OnePlus 16 má největší baterii ze všech nově představených vlajek. Nejbližší kapacita je 8800 mAh Honoru Magic9 Pro Max, přičemž meziročně se díváme na zvětšení o 1700 mAh. Zároveň už máme potvrzeno 50W bezdrátové nabíjení a lze očekávat také zhruba 100W drátové dobíjení. Představení OnePlus 16 přitom proběhne již za pár dní 12. října, avšak telefon poprvé v historii značky zůstane pouze v Číně, jelikož OnePlus skončilo s globálními trhy s výjimkou Indie.
