That's why POVA 7 is more than just a smartphone: it's a bold design, unstoppable connectivity, and AI that understands you—right down to your language. This device isn't just built to impress—it's built to empower.' DESIGN: Inspired by Change, Built to Stand Out Inspired by the delta symbol (Δ) — the universal sign for change, this series embraces evolution and progress. The triangular geometry isn't just an aesthetic choice; it's a tribute to users who are constantly evolving and pushing forward. Visually striking, both smartphones feature TECNO's segment-first Multi-Functional Delta Light Interface, a backlit design element with 104 Mini LED lights, that reacts to music, notifications, volume, and charging.

From composing messages to translating content, Ella brings practical, everyday assistance to users across the country. Complementing this is the TECNO Intelligent Signal Hub, which strengthens connectivity with advanced features like 4×4 MIMO, VoWiFi Dual Pass, and a unique No Network Communication capability that allows device to device calling even without a mobile signal, a game changer in areas with patchy or no coverage. CAMERA: Creativity in Every Frame Beyond stunning visuals, the POVA 7 Series delivers camera innovation designed for content-first lifestyles, with both smartphones supporting 4K video recording. The POVA 7 Pro is equipped with a 64MP Sony IMX682 main sensor and an 8MP secondary lens, featuring vlog modes and dual video functionality, perfect for creators who demand flexibility. Meanwhile, the POVA 7 offers a strong 50MP AI camera, tuned for consistent results across lighting conditions and equipped with essential creative modes for everyday storytelling. FIND YOUR FIT: Choose Your Style at an Amazing Price Point While both phones share a strong core, the POVA 7 Pro brings additional premium features like an AMOLED display, wireless charging, and dual cameras for those who want more.

Why Arm Holdings Stock Soared 30% in June
Through its CPU architecture licensing, Arm has broad exposure to AI growth. The stock seemed to gain on Apple's WWDC conference. Its valuation could put pressure on the stock from here. 10 stocks we like better than Arm Holdings › Shares of Arm Holdings (NASDAQ: ARM) shot up last month on a broader bullish trend in the semiconductor industry that lifted peers like Nvidia and AMD as concerns around tariffs and a potential recession simmered down, and the risk-on artificial intelligence (AI) trade returned. There was no single news item that drove Arm stock higher, but several events combined to send the stock up 30% by the end of the month, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. As you can see from the chart below, the stock marched steadily higher over the course of the month, easily outperforming the S&P 500. There was relatively little company-specific news out on Arm last month, but the company, which is best known for power-efficient CPU architecture, is a close partner of tech giants like Apple and Nvidia, giving it a broad range of exposure across the tech industry. The company, which licenses its architecture to those partners, is also sensitive to the economic cycle, which can drive demand. So it responded favorably to signs that the U.S. economy remained resilient, according to data, even with new tariffs in place. In fact, one of Arm's best days last month came from Apple's World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC), where Apple announced a number of new features to its iOS software and Apple Intelligence. Apple is a major customer for Arm, and the news was enough to drive Apple stock up 4.1% on the day on its second-highest trading volume day of the month. After Arm stock dipped briefly, it surged over the last full week of June in line with broader market gains as Mideast tension tamped down, and inflation remained modest through May, showing that tariffs had not yet had a meaningful impact on prices. Arm closed out the month receiving a bullish note from Guggenheim, which maintained a buy rating on the stock and raised its price target from $147 to $187. Arm stock has fallen over the first two days of July as the valuation is arguably stretched following last week's gains. The company's competitive advantages are formidable due to its technological edge in power efficiency, but significant growth is already baked into the stock as it trades at a price-to-sales ratio of 41. While the business looks like a good bet to continue growing, investors may want to wait for a more attractive price point before buying the stock. Before you buy stock in Arm Holdings, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the for investors to buy now… and Arm Holdings wasn't one of them. The 10 stocks that made the cut could produce monster returns in the coming years.

Don't miss out on the latest top 10 list, available when you join .
