Realme X7 Pro Ultra announced: curved screen, triple camera, and Dimensity 1000+

Realme unveiled the X7 Pro last September, and today it quietly released its Ultra variant, or Extreme Edition depending on which version of the machine translation from Chinese we go with .

One might expect it to come with improvements over the X7 Pro, and it does, but we are also looking at some downgrades here. For starters, the X7 Pro features a 120Hz FullHD+ flat AMOLED screen, but the Ultra packs a 90Hz display, albeit with curved edges.

The number of rear cameras has also reduced from four on the X7 Pro to three on the Ultra, but in practical terms nothing changed as Realme…

Exclusive: Here’s our first look at the Tecno Spark 7 launching next week

Tecno introduced the Spark 6 last September with a Helio G70 SoC, and it will follow up with its successor dubbed Tecno Spark 7 next week in India. A reliable source sent us an image of the Spark 7, which reveals the smartphone will pack a waterdrop notch display.

Dish calls out T-Mobile for wanting to shut down Sprint’s 3G network too soon

As part of the T-Mobile merger with Sprint, the combined company was required to sell off Boost Mobile, one of Sprint’s prepaid MVNOs, to a third party. Dish Network, a Satellite TV company, ended up being that third party that purchased and acquired the Boost Mobile brand and its millions of subscribers.

In a letter obtained by Axios, Dish complained to the FCC that T-Mobile is rushing to shut down Spring’s legacy CDMA (3G) network that millions of Boost Mobile customers are still using. Dish expected that T-Mobile would eventually shut down Sprint’s 3G network three to five years after…
