The Tecno Spark 40 Pro+ will be the first phone with the new Helio G200 chipset
MediaTek's newly-announced Helio G200 will make its debut soon – the Tecno Spark 40 Pro+ will be the first phone to use the new chip. The chipsets for the other Spark 40 series members have not been confirmed yet.
Tecno is promising a 10% performance improvement over the G100, getting 470,000 points on AnTuTu. The new chip boosts the clock speed of the Mali-G57 MC2 GPU to 1.1GHz (up from 1.0GHz on the G99 and G100). Additionally, the Spark 40 Pro+ will have customized super resolution algorithms that will render graphics at 1.5K. The G100 was used in phones like the Spark 30 Pro and Camon 40 Pro 4G, by the way.
Tecno also does a better job at explaining what 4G DC SAR does than MediaTek itself – it stands for Dynamic Communication Smart Adaptive Response. What it does is improve network efficiency in areas with weak signal, which should result in higher data speeds for streaming, gaming and other uses.
The Helio G200 also adds 12-bit DCG support for the camera, which will improve the quality of HDR videos. However, Tecno is keeping mum on the Spark 40 camera features for now.
'The Spark 40 Series will not just be raising specs. With the Helio G200 as its engine, the Spark 40 Series redefines what's possible in its class, offering an unprecedented experience for its users — all while delivering signature slim design,' said Joey Qu, Tecno senior product manager.
Tecno will unveil the Spark 40 series globally in July – more details about the design, performance and Tecno AI features will be revealed soon.

Even more key Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7, and Z Flip 7 FE details are now out of the bag
Even though we still don't have an official launch date for Samsung's next big Android-powered foldables, the start of the company's buzz-building campaign certainly suggests the Galaxy Z Flip 7, Z Flip 7 FE, Z Fold 7 , and possibly, Z Fold 7 Ultra are right around the corner. As such, it shouldn't come as a surprise that more and more tipsters feel confident in predicting more and more details about three of those fast-approaching devices... after their designs have already been leaked in trustworthy factory CAD-based renders and even a wild real-life photograph. Galaxy Z Fold 7 : 12GB RAM + 256GB storage; 12 + 512GB; 16GB + 1TB; : 12GB RAM + 256GB storage; 12 + 512GB; 16GB + 1TB; Galaxy Z Flip 7 : 8GB RAM + 128GB storage; 12 + 256GB; 12 + 512GB; : 8GB RAM + 128GB storage; 12 + 256GB; 12 + 512GB; Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE: 8GB RAM + 128GB storage; 8 + 256GB. Wait, wasn't all this information revealed just yesterday? Not exactly. Arsène Lupin, aka @MysteryLupin, actually adds to the details leaked by WinFuture's Roland Quandt, thus providing a more complete picture of Samsung's 2025 foldable portfolio (minus the Galaxy Z Fold 7 Ultra, which may or may not be a real thing). The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is expected to start with an underwhelming 8GB RAM count. The most important tidbit disclosed today that wasn't included in yesterday's report is how much RAM the Z Fold 7 , Z Flip 7 , and Z Flip 7 FE are set to pack in each storage configuration. Interestingly, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will apparently be equipped with a hefty 16 gigs of memory in a top-of-the-line 1TB storage variant. That's especially notable because the most advanced (and the most expensive) Galaxy Z Fold 6 model only comes with 12GB RAM. Then again, Google's Pixel 9 Pro Fold offers a whopping 16 gigs of the good stuff in combination with as little as 256GB internal storage space, so clearly, Samsung can do even better than this if it wants to claim the best foldable trophy. The Z Flip 7 , meanwhile, is very curiously tipped to downgrade its predecessor's 12GB RAM to just 8 gigs for an entry-level 128GB storage variant while keeping the memory count of the Z Flip 6's two other configurations unchanged. That's likely to be a cost-cutting measure on Samsung's part, especially if the company aims to price the Galaxy Z Flip 7 at the same starting level as last year's Z Flip 6 , but it remains to be seen if customers will understand and accept the compromise. Speaking of compromises, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is expected to stick to 8GB RAM in both 128 and 256GB storage variants, which is both completely unsurprising and totally fine... as long as Samsung gets the Fan Edition pricing right. Galaxy Z Fold 7 : Silver Shadow, Blue Shadow, Jet Black, Coral Red; : Silver Shadow, Blue Shadow, Jet Black, Coral Red; Galaxy Z Flip 7 : Blue Shadow, White Black; : Blue Shadow, White Black; Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE: Black, White. The most exciting thing here is without a doubt the very swanky-sounding Coral Red-coated Z Fold 7 model, which should perfectly match the Coral Red Z Flip 7 flavor rumored yesterday. The first-of-a-kind Z Flip 7 FE could come in just two (rather boring) color options. Unfortunately (and unsurprisingly), the Z Flip 7 FE is unlikely to join its pricier sibling and cousin in adopting such a flashy hue, instead playing things safe with black and white colorways, at least based on existing information from two different and equally reliable insiders. Circling back to the Galaxy Z Fold 7 , it must be highlighted that its silver (shadow), blue (shadow), and (jet) black paint jobs are now also "confirmed" from two sources, unlike the aforementioned (coral) red color. Interestingly, the Z Flip 7 is rumored to come in a "White Black" version rather than separate white and black models, which could be an innocent typo... or a suggestion of a decidedly unconventional two-tone design that Samsung has experimented with in the past. The blue (shadow) colorway is practically etched in stone, and if history is any indication, many more paint jobs will be confirmed in the coming weeks (for both the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7 ).

Qualcomm's best chipset confirmed to power 'the thinnest and lightest foldable'
Although there's no way to confirm this year, Honor claims that its upcoming Magic V5 smartphone will be the thinnest and lightest foldable on the market. We also don't know how long that will last since Samsung is also launching its new top-tier foldables – Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 7, next we do know is that Honor's flagship foldable will be equipped with Qualcomm's most powerful chipset to date, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Leading Version. This has been confirmed by a listing on benchmark aggregator Geekbench, so it's unlikely that it's not going to happen. In comparison with the 'vanilla' Snapdragon 8 Elite, the Leading Version features two prime cores that run at 4.47GHz instead of 4.32GHz. It's a slight performance boost that phones equipped with this specific chipset (i.e Samsung Galaxy S25 series, RedMagic 10S Pro+, Honor GT Pro), are getting over anything else available on the market. The phone is listed on Geekbench with model number MHG-AN00, which is the same that the Honor Magic V5 made appearance on CMIIT's certification website. Speaking of certification, the Magic V5 is expected to pack a massive 6,100 mAh battery, at least according to CMIIT. Honor Magic V5's listing on Geekbench | Screenshot by Abhishek Yadav via Twitter The Geekbench listing also confirms the Honor Magic V5 packs at least 16GB RAM and runs Android 15. Previous reports also claim Honor's upcoming flagship could boast a huge 8-inch folding screen, as well as a massive 200-megapixel periscope strives to achieves multiple 'world firsts' with the Magic V5. The flagship is not only expected to be the thinnest and lightest on the market, but it will also pack the biggest battery used in a foldable. In order to achieve that, the Magic V5 must be thinner than 8.93 because this is how thick the Oppo Find N5 is when closed. The 6,100 mAh battery that's been certified by CMIIT puts the Magic V5 slightly ahead when it comes to size. There's another impressive flagship foldable coming soon which is expected to feature a 6,000 mAh battery, the Vivo X Fold 5. Honor Magic V5 is rumored to arrive sometime this month, but it's unclear if the global launch will coincide with the Chinese release.
