Motorola’s Edge 70 Fusion phone has a huge curved 144Hz display

Motorola has unveiled the Edge 70 Fusion, its latest mid-range model with an impressive display and OIS-enabled camera with a Sony sensor. Though other specs are modest, the cameras, display and Pantone-inspired, fabric-like colors make it a good choice for fashion-forward and budget conscious buyers in Europe and other (non-US) territories. 

The Edge 70 Fusion is a more modestly specced version of last year's Edge 70 that's thicker at 7.2mm compared to 5.9mm but has a better screen. Motorola says it has the world's first "quad-curved" display that folds into the sides for smoother lines and a more elegant look. The AMOLED screen is also huge at 6.78 inches and has a 144Hz refresh rate with Pantone-validated color accuracy, while hitting a peak 5,200 nit brightness, easily enough for sunny outdoor use.

The 50MP main camera is also impressive, using Sony's Lytia 710 sensor with optical image stabilization and an f/1.8 aperture. That's accompanied by a 13MP ultra-wide macro camera and a 32MP from selfie camera with 4K recording. 

The Edge 70 fusion is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 with Cortex-A720 and A520 cores, along with an Adreno 810 GPU, promising about a 15 percent bump in performance over the last model. It supports 68W wired (no wireless) fast charging and carries a 5,200mAh battery. It will be relatively tough as well, with IP68 and IP69 dust and water resistance ratings and MIL-STD-810H durability. 

It's a solid value with prices starting at $430 in Europe (about $503) when it goes on sale later this month in colors like Patone Orient Blue, Pantone Country Air and Pantone Sporting Green. There's no indication that it will be available in the US, though.

From Magnetic Modules to Neon Lights: TECNO’s Wild Phone Concepts

For years, smartphone makers have been quietly taking things away. The removable battery went first, then the headphone jack, then anything else that made a phone feel repairable or adaptable. TECNO showed up at MWC 2026 with a different idea, bringing a collection of concepts that go in the opposite direction, adding to the phone rather than stripping it down. Some of these ideas are genuinely practical. Others are just fun to think about.

The most developed concept is the Modular Magnetic Interconnection Technology, which lets you snap hardware modules onto the phone magnetically. Telephoto lenses, action cameras, extra battery packs, and over a dozen other components can attach and detach as needed. TECNO presented two design versions: ATOM, with a clean white-and-red palette built around the idea of efficient, intentional use, and MODA, which takes the same modular logic but wraps it in a bolder, more aggressive look. The phone stays slim by default, and you only add bulk when the situation actually calls for it.

Designer: TECNO

MODA

The POVA Ecosystem takes a more focused angle, targeting mobile gamers specifically. POVA Metal is the world’s first full-metal unibody 5G phone, and it pairs with a POVA Controller Slide that supports a 0 to 25-degree adjustable viewing angle and is optimized for both FPS and MOBA games. The controller also supports wireless charging, which is a small but welcome detail. A POVA Earphone with dot-matrix lighting rounds out the set, giving the whole ecosystem a consistent visual identity.

POVA Ecosystem

AI EINK is one of the quieter ideas in the lineup. The back panel reads colors from the camera and shifts its appearance to match, with further adjustments available through an app. How often someone would actually use this outside a case is a fair question, but the idea of a phone that responds to its surroundings rather than just sitting there is at least an interesting one to sit with.

AI EINK

POVA Neon is the concept that most clearly exists as a statement rather than a solution. It uses ionized inert gas lighting, the same technology behind neon signs, to create a glowing effect on the back panel. The renders show branching blue light that looks like something between a lightning bolt and a screensaver. It’s hard to argue that it solves a problem anyone has, but not everything at a concept showcase needs to. Sometimes a phone that looks like it’s charging from a thunderstorm is just fun to put on a table.

POVA Neon

These are all still concepts, which means most of them won’t ship in this form, if they ship at all. The modular system is the one worth watching most closely, since the core tension it tries to address, keeping phones lightweight while making AI and computing demands heavier, isn’t going away. We can only hope that TECNO will fare better than others who also tried to make the modular phone dream a reality.

TCL is upgrading its easy-on-the-eyes glare-free NXTPAPER display tech with AMOLED

TCL has been making smartphones and tablets at an impressive clip for years. While most companies have focused on foldable display tech — and TCL has dabbled — the focus has been on its NXTPAPER screens. Aimed at being friendlier on the eyes, and pitched as a device somewhere between e-ink slates and traditional tablets, NXTPAPER has gradually been upgraded and refined, reaching an apex at CES 2026 earlier this year with the Kindle Scribe-alike, the Note A1 NXTPAPER and its latest smartphone, the NXTPAPER 70 Pro.

At MWC, just a couple of months later, it's preparing for a major leap forward on future phones and tablets. It's been announced (and backed up with tech demos) that it's developing AMOLED NXTPAPER displays, aiming to combine the eye comfort benefits of TCL's current displays with flagship visual performance. This involved fundamentally redesigning and re-engineering the display architecture. Still, it should address the biggest problems with current LCD-based NXTPAPER, such as mediocre brightness, poor outdoor performance, and dull colors.

This NXTPAPER AMOLED screen, well, it looks like AMOLED:

On the showfloor at CES, the company had several demo devices showcasing the new screen technology's brightness. While still photos don't really do it justice, it's impressive, and the anti-glare effect seems premium compared to third-party anti-glare protective films. 

TCL says its incoming AMOLED display — it hasn't announced a device yet — will reach 3,200 nits of brightness. For reference, TCL's 70 Pro topped out at a mere 900 nits. TCL says it will also feature 120Hz refresh rates, 100 percent color gamut coverage, and blue light reduction that can go as low as 2.9 percent, which is 15 percent less than existing NXTPAPER displays.

The company plans to launch an AMOLED NXTPAPER smartphone before the end of the year.
