TCL NxtPaper 60 Ultra 5G listed ahead of official IFA debut

TCL is getting ready to unveil a new smartphone at IFA in Berlin in the next few days, it seems. The device, called NxtPaper 60 Ultra 5G, has now been listed by Amazon Germany ahead of the official announcement. The listing tells us that the device has a 7.2-inch FHD+ NxtPaper screen with 120Hz refresh rate, 12GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, and a "long lasting battery" that unfortunately isn't detailed any further. In the box you only get a USB-C cable, no charger. The phone runs Android 15, disappointingly since Android 16 was released by Google in June. Amazon is going to offer the...

Samsung's Exynos 2600 runs Geekbench again with improved scores

Back in July, Samsung's Exynos 2600 chipset was spotted in the Geekbench online database with some less than impressive results - a 2,155 single-core score and a 7,788 multi-core score. Today the chip has run the benchmark again, with much improved scores, and ones that finally live up to its flagship level. This time, it managed a 3,309 single-core score and an 11,256 multi-core score, so Samsung is definitely tweaking things for the better, seeing as how these results are close to Apple's M3 and beat Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite. The Exynos 2600's second benchmark score shows a...

Tecno Pova Slim 5G to debut on September 4

Tecno will launch the Pova Slim 5G on September 4. The upcoming handset is claimed to be the slimmest 5G smartphone in the world with a curved display. Earlier this month, a rumor hinted that Tecno will be bringing the Spark Slim concept phone to India, but under a different name. It appears that the phone will debut as the Tecno Pova Slim 5G, but will otherwise be very similar to the concept. Tecno hasn’t shared any details about the upcoming Pova Slim 5G, but a Flipkart microsite details some of its features. The handset will come with the company’s Ella AI smart assistant with...

iPhone shipments will help the smartphone market grow this year, IDC predicts

The smartphone market will grow 1% in 2025 compared to 2024, IDC now predicts, and this growth will be driven by iPhone shipments, which are expected to be up 3.9% year-on-year (YoY). IDC expects the total number of smartphone shipments to reach 1.24 billion this year. The 1% growth prediction is an improvement from the analyst house's previous forecast of 0.6%, and the difference seems to be more or less entirely down to iPhones being expected to sell better. Healthy replacement demand will push growth into 2026, when the market is predicted to ship 1.2% more units than this year....
