TECNO has introduced its latest smartphone innovation, the TECNO Next-Gen Bezelless Concept Phone, giving people a look at what future smartphones could look like. The company recently released a teaser video showing the new concept device, which features a completely borderless display with 0mm screen bezels.

This concept phone is designed for users who want a premium smartphone with a more immersive viewing experience. TECNO says it is the first smartphone in the industry to completely remove the black borders around the display, creating a screen that stretches all the way to the edges of the device.

The TECNO Next-Gen Bezelless Concept Phone will make its first public appearance at the IFA 2026 ShowStoppers event in September.

A Truly Borderless Display

Over the past several years, smartphone companies have continued to reduce the size of display bezels. Many premium phones now have very thin borders, but they still leave a small black edge between the screen and the phone’s frame.

Normally, smartphones have 1mm to 2mm black borders because manufacturers need space for internal display wiring, safety protection, and other hardware components.

TECNO says it has solved this long-standing problem by creating the world’s first smartphone with a true 0mm display border. This means there is no visible black frame around the screen, making the display look larger and more seamless than ever before.

New Technology Makes It Possible

Creating a phone without any visible display border required major changes to the phone’s internal design.

TECNO redesigned the internal structure of the smartphone using advanced display packaging, new screen engineering techniques, and improved internal component stacking. These technologies allowed the company to reduce the visible display border to 0 microns (0mm), something that has never been achieved before in smartphone engineering.

The result is a display that appears to flow naturally to the edges of the phone, giving users the feeling that the screen is floating in their hands.

Better Experience for Everyday Use

The borderless display is not only about looks. It is also designed to improve the overall user experience.

With the larger viewing area, users can enjoy movies, TV shows, YouTube videos, cricket matches, games, social media, e-books, and photos without the distraction of black borders around the screen.

The full-screen design makes content appear bigger, clearer, and more immersive. It can also improve productivity by providing more display space for apps, documents, and multitasking.

Built for the AI Era

TECNO says the Next-Gen Bezelless Concept Phone represents more than just a new smartphone design. The company believes it is a step toward the future of smartphones in the AI era, where users will interact more naturally with digital content.

By removing the visible border between the display and the real world, TECNO hopes to create a more natural and immersive experience.

The company also says the new borderless design could become a unique identity for its future flagship smartphones.

Technology That Could Power Future Phones

Although this is currently a concept phone, TECNO says many of the technologies developed for this device will be used in future flagship smartphones.

These innovations include improvements in:

• Display technology
• Camera systems
• Touch responsiveness
• Audio performance
• Smart user interface (UI) features
• AI-powered smartphone experiences

These technologies are expected to appear in future TECNO smartphones sold in Pakistan and other global markets.

Focus on Premium Innovation

As more smartphone users in Pakistan choose premium devices with AI features, TECNO says it will continue investing in new technologies that improve the smartphone experience.

The company believes its latest concept phone demonstrates its commitment to pushing the limits of smartphone design while developing technologies that could shape the next generation of mobile devices.

Although the TECNO Next-Gen Bezelless Concept Phone is only a concept for now, it offers an exciting preview of what future smartphones may look like, with truly edge-to-edge displays and more immersive user experiences.

Electronic Arts (EA) has officially become a privately owned company after a group of investors completed a massive $55 billion acquisition on Tuesday. The deal is one of the biggest in the history of the video game industry and marks the end of EA’s time as a publicly traded company.

EA announced last week that the acquisition had received all the necessary approvals from regulators. With those approvals in place, the investors completed the takeover. The process took several months longer than originally expected.

The plan to buy EA was first announced in September 2025. Later, in December 2025, EA shareholders voted in favor of the deal during a special meeting. Now that the acquisition is complete, EA’s shares have stopped trading and will soon be removed from the Nasdaq stock exchange.

Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund Becomes Main Owner

The biggest investor in the deal is Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), which now owns more than 93% of Electronic Arts.

The investment group also includes technology-focused private equity company Silver Lake and investment firm Affinity Partners. Together, they completed the $55 billion purchase of the game publisher.

Andrew Wilson Will Continue as CEO

Although the company has new owners, Andrew Wilson will continue serving as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of EA. He will remain responsible for leading the company’s future strategy and game development.

EA will also continue operating from its headquarters in Redwood City, California, and there are no announced plans to move its main offices.

Biggest Leveraged Buyout in History

The acquisition is being described as the largest leveraged buyout (LBO) ever completed.

To finance the purchase, the investor group borrowed around $20 billion. This means EA will now be responsible for paying back that debt over time. Managing this large financial obligation will become an important part of the company’s future business plans.

Despite taking on this debt, EA remains a profitable company. For the financial quarter ending June 30, EA reported a profit of $387 million after paying operating expenses and taxes.

EA Begins a New Chapter

In a letter sent to employees after the deal was completed, CEO Andrew Wilson said the company was beginning a new chapter as a privately owned business.

Wilson said that EA’s main goal remains the same: creating some of the world’s best video games, building strong gaming communities, and supporting a creative workplace for employees.

He also said the company will continue focusing on creativity, innovation, and delivering high-quality games under its new ownership.

What This Means for Gamers

For most players, there will be no immediate changes. EA will continue developing and publishing popular games, including franchises such as EA Sports FC, Madden NFL, Battlefield, Apex Legends, The Sims, Need for Speed, and Dragon Age.

However, becoming a private company could allow EA to focus more on long-term projects without the pressure of reporting quarterly financial results to public shareholders. The new owners are expected to support investments in game development, new technologies, and future growth.

The $55 billion acquisition is one of the biggest deals ever completed in the gaming industry and marks a major milestone in Electronic Arts’ history as it starts its next phase under private ownership.

Elon Musk’s social media platform X (formerly Twitter) is still struggling to recover its advertising business. According to the company’s latest financial results, X earned $367 million from advertising during the three months ending June 30, 2026.

This is a small improvement compared to the $343 million earned in the previous quarter. However, it is still much lower than the $426 million generated during the same period last year.

The difference becomes even bigger when compared with Twitter before Elon Musk bought the company. In the second quarter of 2022, Twitter earned $1.08 billion from advertising. This means X is now making only about one-third of the advertising revenue it generated before Musk’s takeover.

New Advertising Technology Shows Small Improvement

During the company’s earnings call, Bret Johnsen, Chief Financial Officer of SpaceX, said the small increase in advertising revenue came after X rebuilt its advertising technology platform.

The company had previously explained that rebuilding the ad system temporarily affected advertising sales. The new platform is expected to improve how advertisements are managed and delivered, but company executives did not spend much time discussing advertising during the earnings presentation.

X Is No Longer Relying Only on Ads

Since Elon Musk purchased Twitter and renamed it X, the company’s business strategy has changed significantly.

Instead of depending mainly on advertising, X is now focusing more on paid subscriptions. The company actively promotes its Premium+ subscription, which gives users extra features and removes advertisements from the platform.

However, the company did not reveal how much money it earned from subscriptions. It also did not share updated numbers for its daily active users, making it difficult to measure how the platform is performing overall.

Major Changes After Musk’s Takeover

After acquiring Twitter, Elon Musk made several major changes to the company. He laid off thousands of employees as part of efforts to reduce costs and reorganize the business.

X also filed a lawsuit against several advertisers and an advertising industry organization. The company claimed they had worked together to organize an illegal advertising boycott against the platform.

However, a US judge dismissed the lawsuit in March 2026.

Musk also created controversy after publicly telling advertisers to stay away from the platform during an interview in which he used strong language in response to criticism from advertisers.

Advertisers Are Returning, But Revenue Remains Low

In recent months, X has said that many large advertisers have returned to the platform.

The company’s advertising chief announced in January 2026 that 97 of X’s 100 biggest advertisers were once again buying ads, with some companies reportedly spending even more than they did before Musk acquired Twitter.

Despite those claims, the latest financial results show that advertising revenue is still far below what Twitter earned before the takeover. This suggests that while advertisers may be returning, the overall advertising business has not fully recovered.

Advertising Is Now a Small Part of SpaceX’s Business

Advertising is no longer one of the biggest sources of revenue for SpaceX’s broader business operations.

During the same quarter:

• The company’s Starlink connectivity business generated $4.29 billion in revenue.
• The space division earned $962 million.
• The AI business brought in $2.56 billion, including $2.19 billion from AI infrastructure and AI solutions.

These figures show that while X continues to improve slowly, advertising now represents only a small portion of the company’s overall revenue, with businesses like Starlink and artificial intelligence contributing much more to its financial performance.

Chinese memory chip company ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) has become the fastest-growing DRAM manufacturer in the world during the second quarter of 2026, according to a new report from Counterpoint Research.

The company recorded an incredible 716% increase in DRAM revenue compared to the same period last year. This huge growth was mainly driven by strong demand from customers in China and the company’s efforts to increase its production capacity.

Another company that performed well was Taiwan’s Nanya Technology, which reported a 690% increase in DRAM revenue during the same period. These results show that the global memory chip market is growing rapidly, especially because of increasing demand from artificial intelligence (AI), smartphones, and data centers.

Samsung Becomes the Largest DRAM Supplier Again

Despite CXMT’s rapid growth, Samsung has regained its position as the world’s largest DRAM supplier. During the second quarter of 2026, Samsung held 39% of the global DRAM market revenue, making it the top memory chip company once again.

SK Hynix ranked second with a 26% market share. Although its market share dropped by 13 percentage points compared to last year, the company still achieved 214% revenue growth, showing that demand for its memory chips remains strong.

Micron came in third with a 25% market share, only one percentage point behind SK Hynix. The close competition between these companies shows how important the DRAM market has become.

AI Is Driving Demand for Memory Chips

The rapid growth of the DRAM industry is largely being driven by the artificial intelligence (AI) boom. Modern AI processors require High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), which is created by stacking multiple DRAM chips together. This advanced memory helps AI systems process large amounts of data much faster.

As AI technologies continue to expand, demand for high-performance memory chips is expected to grow even more, creating new opportunities for companies like Samsung, SK Hynix, Micron, and CXMT.

CXMT Is Expanding Quickly

CXMT has become one of the most important companies in China’s effort to reduce its dependence on foreign semiconductor technology. Similar to China’s leading chipmaker SMIC, CXMT is helping the country build its own advanced semiconductor industry.

The company is also working on LPDDR6 memory, the next generation of low-power memory designed for smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices. Reports suggest that LPDDR6 development has already reached the research and testing stage, bringing the company closer to mass production.

Record IPO and New Factories

In July 2026, CXMT completed a massive $8.6 billion stock market listing (IPO), giving the company more funding to expand its business.

The company is now planning several new manufacturing projects. It is considering building a second memory chip factory in Beijing, while also expanding operations in Shanghai and Hefei.

If these projects move forward, CXMT’s production capacity could more than double, reaching over 600,000 wafers per month. This would make the company one of the world’s largest memory chip manufacturers.

Apple May Become a Customer

Reports also suggest that Apple has explored purchasing memory chips from CXMT. Global memory prices have been rising, and supplies remain limited, encouraging large technology companies to look for new suppliers to reduce costs and secure enough components for future products.

Although no official agreement has been announced, such a partnership would be a major achievement for CXMT.

Experts See a Big Future for CXMT

Counterpoint Research Vice President Neil Shah believes CXMT’s rapid growth could change the global memory industry. According to him, the biggest question is no longer whether CXMT can compete with industry leaders like Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron, but when it will join them as one of the world’s top DRAM manufacturers.

With strong government support, rapid factory expansion, and growing demand for AI and mobile memory, CXMT is expected to become an even bigger player in the global semiconductor market over the next few years.

Capcom’s Resident Evil series continues to break records, with the franchise now selling more than 213 million copies worldwide. The latest sales figures show that both new and older Resident Evil games remain very popular among players.

One of the biggest success stories is Resident Evil 2 Remake. Even though the game was released more than seven years ago, it is still selling well. Many fans believe its strong sales have been helped by the release of newer games featuring Leon S. Kennedy, including the Resident Evil 4 Remake and the recently released Resident Evil Requiem. New players are also returning to experience one of the series’ most popular games.

The Resident Evil 4 Remake has now sold 16.04 million copies around the world. The game has received strong support from fans since its launch and continues to attract new buyers. Although it did not receive the same level of praise as Resident Evil 2 Remake, it remains one of Capcom’s best-selling titles.

Meanwhile, Resident Evil Requiem has reached 8.06 million copies sold. The game has become another successful release for Capcom, and the company has confirmed that more Resident Evil Requiem content is planned in the future. With continued updates and player interest, both Resident Evil 4 Remake and Resident Evil Requiem could eventually come close to Resident Evil 2 Remake’s impressive sales record.

The latest numbers also show how valuable Capcom’s older games are. Many titles continue to sell years after launch, proving that fans are still interested in the Resident Evil series.

Overall, the Resident Evil franchise has now sold 213 million copies worldwide. This means it has slightly moved ahead of the famous Final Fantasy series, which was last reported to have 212 million copies sold. However, Square Enix has not yet released updated sales numbers for the latest financial quarter, so the gap could change in the future.

Capcom’s other games are also performing well. The science fiction action game Pragmata has sold 2.51 million copies, while Monster Hunter: World has now reached 30.45 million copies sold when the Iceborne Master Edition is included. This keeps Monster Hunter: World among Capcom’s most successful games of all time.

The Resident Evil brand is also expanding beyond video games. A new Resident Evil movie, directed by Zach Cregger, is scheduled to release in cinemas on September 18, 2026.

Looking ahead, Capcom is preparing another major game for fans. The company plans to launch Resident Evil Veronica, a remake of Resident Evil Code: Veronica, sometime in 2027. The remake is expected to bring updated graphics, improved gameplay, and a modern experience while keeping the original story that fans have enjoyed for years.
