Alcatel V3 Classic and V3 Pro are also coming
Alcatel is launching the V3 Ultra on May 27, and today we learned the event will see two more phones. The Ultra will share the stage with V3 Classic and V3 Pro – two 5G-enabled phones with 50 MP cameras and 5,200 mAh batteries.
The Ultra will be a rebadged TCL 50 Pro NxtPaper, and the other two are also part of the TCL portfolio – the Classic is the TCL 60, and the Pro is the TCL 60 SE NxtPaper. Alcatel V3 Classic
Alcatel advertises the V3 Classic as "India's First NxtVision Display," which is how TCL and Alcatel brand their regular screens. The NxtPaper technology will appear on the V3 Pro, a 6.7" LCD with up to a 120 Hz refresh rate.
The e-ink tech is the only major difference between the V3 Classic and V3 Pro - these phones will share the same 50 MP + 5 MP camera combo on the back and 8 MP selfie shooter, as well as the battery we already mentioned. Alcatel V3 Pro
We should point out that while TCL 60 launched with 256 GB storage, it seems like V3 Classic will be a 128 GB device (expandable with a micro SD slot). We also know the V3 Pro will bring 8 GB RAM, but the storage remains unknown here.
These phones should be fairly affordable - the TCL 60 SE NxtPaper launched internationally for €189, which is about INR18,000. We have to wait until Tuesday to learn how Alcatel will adapt the prices for the Indian market.

Discover Samsung Summer sale in the US drops Galaxy S25 and Tab S10 prices
Samsung US's annual summer sale is live this week and has offers on all Samsung products until June 8 (Sunday). We focused on the Galaxy section of the store, of course, and here is what we found. Smartphones All four members of the Galaxy S25 family have effectively the same promo – a free storage upgrade and trade-in credit up to different amounts (depending on the model). The new Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge tops out at 512GB, so that's the only variant available. You can also get up to $630 off by sending in an old phone. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra has 512GB and 1TB variants with the prices of the tier below. The trade-in credit is the same as the Edge. By the way, check out Amazon US's Father's Day deals – there is an S25 Ultra for $1,000. The Samsung Galaxy S25 and S25+ have just the one storage upgrade – to 256GB and to 512GB, respectively. Wearables The deals for the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra and Watch7 are slightly different – you get a straight discount if you choose the no trade-in option or you can do a trade-in. There's also the Galaxy Ring, which can be used instead of or in addition to a Galaxy Watch. This one only has a trade-in deal. Samsung Galaxy Ring up to $150 trade-in Read our review Tablets The tablet deals are structured similarly to the watches – you get either a straight discount or a trade-in deal. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra is an exception to that as you get $400 off with no trade-in or $200 off plus the value of your old device. The Galaxy Tab S10+ is an either/or deal. There are also the more affordable Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ and Tab S10 FE. Laptops The Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro is a lightweight 14' laptop (2.71lbs). It has a 2,880 x 1,800px OLED touch screen and is powered by the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V with Arc 140V graphics. Instead of x86, you can go with ARM – the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge is powered by a Snapdragon X Plus (X1P-42-100, 8 cores) or X Elite (X1E-84-100, 12 cores) chipset. This one weighs 3.26lbs.

Samsung's big "Ultra" foldable tease had fans hoping for more — but is it just marketing buzz?
For a moment, it looked like Samsung was planning a major shake-up for its foldable lineup. A teaser from the company earlier this week promised an "Ultra" experience for its upcoming foldables, sparking buzz that a Galaxy Z Fold 7 Ultra might be in the pipeline. But according to a trusted source, that's not the Max Jambor, who has a solid track record with Samsung leaks, took to X to pour cold water on the rumors. "Funny that some think Samsung's teaser hints at a 'Galaxy Z Fold7 Ultra'," he wrote. "That was clearly meant to stir hype." Funny that some think Samsung's teaser hints at a 'Galaxy Z Fold7 Ultra'. That was clearly meant to stir hype — but there's no Ultra model, at least not this summer. The Z Fold7 itself will bring the 'Ultra' experience — Max Jambor (@MaxJmb) June 4, 2025 Jambor's post follows a full day of speculation fueled by Samsung's recent marketing language, which many interpreted as a sign of a new, possibly premium-tier model in the foldable family. That led some fans to believe the Z Fold 7 Ultra could join the lineup alongside the regular Fold and Flip models, mirroring the strategy Samsung uses with its Galaxy S if Jambor is correct, and he usually is, Samsung's next foldable flagship will remain a double-device release — a Fold and a Flip, as usual. That aligns with what we've seen from past Galaxy Z Fold launches, where only one main Fold model was introduced each year. Still, that doesn't rule out significant upgrades. The phrase "Ultra experience" may suggest Samsung is packing more high-end features into the standard Z Fold 7 , possibly to match the Galaxy S Ultra line in performance, camera capabilities, or display tech. Samsung has yet to officially announce the date of its next Galaxy Unpacked event, but early reports point to early July in New York City. That's when the company is expected to unveil the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Galaxy Z Flip 7, and potentially new wearables or tablets. Until then, fans will have to manage expectations. Based on current leaks, it looks like we're getting just one Galaxy Z Fold model, but one that might be "Ultra" in everything but name.
