ARM has unveiled its next generation CPU and GPU designs and is doing some rebranding at the same time – meet the ARM C1 CPUs and G1 GPUs, which will form the ARM Lumex compute subsystem (CSS). “Lumex” is the new branding that ARM will use for mobile-focused designs (for others, “Niva” will be used for PC, “Zena” for automotive and so on). This generation of CPU and GPU designs brings massive improvements to buzzwordy workloads (AI, ray tracing), while also delivering solid improvements to less flashy workloads.

Entry-level smartphones are now at a point where they're pretty hard to fault. The Galaxy A07 4G can be found for under €100, yet packs good specs, solid software support, and looks alright too. The A07 4G brings some serious upgrades compared to its predecessor. It gets a smooth 90Hz display, which makes a world of difference compared to plain old 60Hz. The LCD isn't the brightest, but it will be sufficient in all but extremely bright conditions.
