Dubai, UAE – 09 February 2026: Yango Ads, the AdTech division of Yango Group, has released its Ramadan 2026 demand playbook, outlining how brands across the Middle East can capture one of the region’s most commercially significant periods through a connected, full-funnel advertising strategy.
Ramadan remains one of the most influential demand cycles in the Middle East, marked by a clear shift in daily routines and digital behaviour. While daylight hours are quieter and focused on fasting and reflection, activity rises sharply after iftar, with evenings and late nights becoming prime windows for media consumption, ecommerce, and service usage. According to Yango Ads’ seasonal insights, this day-to-night behavioural shift fundamentally changes how and when brands should engage audiences during the holy month.

The launch, held at 11:00 AM, introduces three new models—the V3 Ultra 5G, V3 Pro 5G, and V3 Classic 5G—all featuring the industry-first Patented NXTPAPER 4 in 1 superior display technology, set to revolutionize the mobile experience for consumers in the UAE and the wider GCC region.
Leadership on the UAE Market Opportunity
“Dubai is a cornerstone of our global vision,” said Atul Vivek, CEO of NXTCELL. “The UAE has one of the world’s highest smartphone penetration rates, yet there is a significant gap for consumers who are price-conscious but refuse to compromise on innovation. The V3 Series is our answer, bringing genuine French engineering and revolutionary technology like NXTPAPER at price points that make sense. We are offering brand-new, cutting-edge technology that you simply cannot find in any flagship.”
Ansh Rathi, COO of NXTCELL, highlighted the product’s unique fit for the region. “The Alcatel V3 Series was meticulously designed for the Dubai consumer. Our NXTPAPER technology directly addresses real pain points of life in the UAE. The intense sunlight makes outdoor visibility critical, and our anti-glare technology solves this. With the average resident spending over seven hours daily on their phone, our low blue light emission and multiple display modes combat eye strain and extend battery life. These are not just specifications; they are solutions.”
Mr. Tameem Ahmed Siddique, Founder & CEO, iMart Group & Worldwide IT, Partner GCC, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership. “Partnering with Alcatel to introduce the V3 Series to the UAE is a tremendous opportunity. Alcatel brings a unique combination of a 100+-years of telecommunications heritage, French design, and accessible technological innovation. The NXTPAPER technology is a conversation-starter, and this three-tier strategy, combined with our deep retail presence, positions us to capture significant market share.”
Alcatel has launched V3 Classic 5G at the price of AED 410, V3 Pro 5G at AED 625 and V3 Ultra 5G at AED 795.
Revolutionary NXTPAPER Display Technology
The V3 Series introduces the region’s first Patented 4 in 1 NXTPAPER superior display technology, a revolutionary innovation that transforms the smartphone viewing experience. This patented hardware-based technology features four distinct display modes—Regular Mode, Max Ink Mode (offering up to 100+ hours of display time), Ink Paper Mode for comfortable e-reading, and Color Paper Mode—all accessible through a dedicated NXTPAPER Key. The eye-safe certified, anti-glare, low blue light display technology significantly reduces eye strain while maintaining vibrant colors and exceptional clarity, making it ideal for Dubai’s bright outdoor conditions and extended screen time.
From France to the world, Alcatel is a mobile technology brand with a rich heritage of over 100+ years in telecommunications. Innovation is at the heart of the brand, and the revolutionary Patented 4 in 1 superior NXTPAPER display is a proof of this commitment.

The brand is committed to democratizing innovation, making advanced features available to a global audience while maintaining the highest standards of quality and user experience.
