Global smartphone revenues climbed to a record US$135 billion in the fourth quarter of 2025, rising 7% year-on-year as higher prices and strong demand for premium devices offset ongoing pressure on shipments.
The Vietnam Internet Network Information Centre (VNNIC) said on Thursday the latest upgrade of its network speed test app ‘i-Speed’ turns phones into an automated crowdsourcing tool for telcos to measure and optimise network performance.
Smartphone shipments have for the first time surpassed feature phone stock in Africa, showcasing the rise in adoption of more advanced handsets across the region.
