The TECNO Modular Phone and Tonino Lamborghini TECNO TAURUS were recognised with two prestigious IFA Global Product Technology Innovation Gold Awards. TECNO marked its presence at IFA 2026 in Berlin with two major innovation honours, as the TECNO Modular Phone and Tonino Lamborghini TECNO TAURUS (MEGA MINI G1 Pro) received IFA Global Product Technology Innovation Gold Awards.

For years, the screen-to-body ratio was the smartphone spec everyone obsessed over. Tech reviewers like Marques Brownlee have often pointed back to that era, when the chase for thinner bezels pushed manufacturers into bold, sometimes eccentric territory — Samsung’s curved “waterfall” displays and Xiaomi’s edge-melting Mi Mix series among the most memorable attempts to make the bezel disappear entirely. That chapter didn’t last.

TECNO today teased its latest flagship concept: the TECNO Next-Gen Bezelless Concept Phone. Featured in a newly released video, the concept phone completely eliminates the screen’s black borders to deliver a truly immersive viewing experience. As a first in the smartphone industry, the device achieves a true 0mm display border, completely removing the physical black edges of the screen and setting a new design benchmark for future smartphones.

The Kampala DevOps Community has announced the inaugural Kampala DevOps and Cloud Summit 2026, set for Saturday, August 15 — a virtual-first conference bringing Uganda’s software engineering and cloud infrastructure community onto one stage for the first time.

Google has started rolling out Android 17 to Pixel devices, delivering a set of features that have been in beta preview for months. The release covers a new floating-window multitasking system, a foldable-optimized gaming mode, simultaneous screen-and-selfie recording, and the first wave of Gemini Intelligence integration for eligible hardware. The feature most people will notice first is Bubbles.

Samsung is preparing to expand its foldable lineup with a new tier this year. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is expected to launch alongside the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8, and early reports from SamMobile point to hardware upgrades targeting three areas where the current flagship foldable has drawn the most criticism: battery life, charging speed, and display crease. Battery capacity is the headline spec.

Apple’s iPhone 18 is confirmed to ship with 12GB of RAM, up from 8GB in the iPhone 17, according to supply-chain reports out of Taiwan corroborated by multiple sources. The reason Apple is doing this: 12GB is the hardware floor Apple’s on-device Siri AI model requires to run locally on the device. Apple’s more capable Siri — the version with personalized voices and smarter dictation — needs 12GB to stay loaded in memory while other apps are running.

TECNO has announced the Spark 50 Pro globally — its latest mid-range smartphone running Android 16 out of the box, with a 6,000mAh battery, a 50MP Sony camera sensor, and IP68/IP69 water resistance. The Spark 50 Pro runs on the MediaTek Helio G100 Ultimate chipset with 8GB of physical RAM and 256GB of storage. TECNO’s Memory Fusion 4.0 can extend effective RAM to up to 24GB by borrowing from storage.

A new leak suggests the Galaxy Z Flip 8 will use two different processors depending on where you buy it: Samsung’s in-house Exynos 2600 in South Korea and a handful of European markets, and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy in the rest of the world, including Japan. The information comes from tipster Lanzuk via Naver Blog, as reported by SamMobile. The Exynos 2600 is built on Samsung Foundry’s 2nm fabrication process and comes with a deca-core CPU paired with the Xclipse 960 GPU.
