Jul 9, 2025

Samsung has officially unveiled two new clamshell foldables alongside the flagship Galaxy Z Fold 7. The flagship Galaxy Z Flip 7 is the premium model with various upgrades over its predecessor, while the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is the first of its kind value value-focused flip phone from Samsung.

1. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7

The South Korean tech giant has made a few small but noticeable changes to the Galaxy Z Flip 7. Samsung’s older Galaxy Z Flip 6 was one of the smaller flip phones with a smaller 6.7-inch main folding display. But the Galaxy Z Flip 7 bumps it up to a 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, FHD+ resolution, and 2600 nits of peak brightness.

Even the cover screen is getting taller as well, with a 4.1-inch Super AMOLED FlexWindow screen that is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2. This is finally an edge-to-edge screen like other modern flip phones. However, the cover panel only has a 1048 x 948 pixel resolution and either a 60Hz/120Hz refresh rate.

On the design front, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 measures 13.7mm when folded (6.5mm unfolded) and weighs relatively light at 188 grams. While this is thicker than the Z Flip 6, the hinge has gotten thinner and more durable thanks to the new Armor FlexHinge and Armor Aluminum Frame. You also get an IP48 rating for water and dust resistance.

Samsung has made a major shift for the first time with its foldable smartphone with the Flip models. Snapdragon had powered all Samsung foldables so far, but the Galaxy Z Flip 7 skips the Snapdragon 8 Elite on the Z Fold 7 with the Exynos 2500 SoC that could disappoint some fans of Samsung’s flip phones.

The battery is getting a bump from 4,000mAh from the Z Fold 6 to a 4,300mAh cell on the Z Fold 7, although the fast charging rate is still 25W (with 15W wireless charging). For optics, the rear has a 50MP main camera (OIS, F/1.8, 1.0μm) that is paired with a 12MP ultra wide angle lens (F/2.2, 1.12μm), with the front housing a 10MP selfie shooter (F2.2, 1.12μm). Other notable features include Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, stereo speaker with Dolby Atmos, WiFi 7, Android 16 OS based One UI 8 custom skin out of the box, and Galaxy AI.

2. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE

The popular Fan Edition series has finally made its way to foldables, bringing cutting edge tech with a more affordable price tag. Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is a new entry in the Z Flip family. It measures 14.9mm when folded (6.9mm when unfolded) and weighs 187 grams. For protection against the elements, there is an IP48 rating.

Similar to the Z Flip 6, the FE model has a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X Infinity Flex main display with an FHD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, along with a 3.4-inch HD Super AMOLED cover panel with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, and a 60Hz refresh rate.

Samsung equips the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE with the older Exynos 2400 SoC. It is powered by a 4,000mAh battery pack that supports 25W wired fast charging and 15W wireless charging. The camera system between the regular Z Flip 7 and FE variant is identical. Other notable features include stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, NFC, WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, and Galaxy AI.

3. Pricing and Availability

Samsung’s new Galaxy Z Flip 7 was announced in multiple color options, which include Blue Shadow, Jet-Black, Coral-red and Mint, but the Mint variant is exclusive to Samsung’s official website. On the other hand, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE arrives in just Black and White. The brand has started pre-orders for these devices, with the first sale kicking off on July 25.

Galaxy Z Flip 7 Global Pricing

12GB + 256GB – 1,099.99 US Dollars
12GB + 512GB – 1219.99 US Dollars

Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE Global Pricing

Galaxy S26 Ultra camera upgrades: something may finally change after four long years

By

-

Jul 9, 2025

Samsung just unveiled its 7th generation foldables and the Galaxy Watch 8 series, but next year’s S series ‘Ultra’ flagship remains in conversation. The latest leak points to some long-awaited camera upgrades for the S26 Ultra.

Galaxy S25 Ultra (left) and Galaxy S24 Ultra (right)

According to a report from Android Headlines, the upcoming S Ultra flagship is being tested with a 12MP 3x telephoto camera. Samsung has been using its age-old 10MP sensor for this purpose in its S Ultra flagships since 2021’s Galaxy S21 Ultra. While the existing hardware provides satisfactory results—mostly thanks to ongoing improvements in image processing—a sensor upgrade (possibly to a larger one) could bring notable improvements to the final output. It will also be paired with Samsung’s next-generation ProVisual engine for better image processing.

The main camera reportedly retains the same 200MP ISOCELL HP2 sensor as the S25 Ultra but uses a new lens setup, possibly to reduce camera bump or enhance clarity.

The front-facing camera is also expected to receive an upgrade after years of stagnation. This is accompanied by a new laser AF sensor, likely aimed at improving focus speed and accuracy, especially on close-up subjects. Unfortunately, specific details about the selfie camera upgrade remain unknown for now.

On the hardware side, the Samsung-made 2nm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 (or 8 Elite 2) has reportedly been scrapped, meaning the S26 Ultra will instead feature a TSMC-manufactured chip built on a 3nm node, and this version will be used globally. As for design, the phone is said to follow Samsung’s new slim approach, measuring just 7.x mm in thickness. The display size remains 6.9 inches, though bezels may shrink slightly as part of ongoing refinements.

Previous reports suggested no major camera overhaul was expected in the S Ultra lineup until 2028. This latest leak fits that narrative—offering refinements, not a revolution.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 vs Honor Magic V5: Which thin foldable wins?

By

Rajesh Regmi

-

Jul 9, 2025

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Honor Magic V5 are part of a new wave of foldables that push the boundaries of how thin, light, and powerful a foldable phone can be.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 vs Honor Magic V5

Both arrive with top-tier specs, large folding displays, and premium builds, but each takes a slightly different approach to the foldable concept. The differences may seem minor at first glance, but for anyone looking to spend nearly $2,000 on a phone, those small details matter.

Let’s break it down.

1. Design and Build

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7

Samsung’s Z Fold 7 takes its usual book-style design and slims it down even further. Folded, it’s just 8.9mm thick; impressively close to the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s 8.2mm.

Unfolded, the Fold 7 is only 4.2mm, making it the thinnest foldable Samsung has ever made. Also, the phone is incredibly light at 215 grams. There’s an aluminum frame, Gorilla Glass Victus Ceramic 2 on the front and back, and a flexible interior screen protected by a new titanium plate layer.

Honor’s Magic V5 goes even slimmer, at least on paper. The Ivory White model of the foldable is just 8.8mm when folded and 4.1mm unfolded. This is technically slimmer than Samsung’s Fold 7. However, other color variants of the V5 are slightly thicker at 9.0mm. At 217g or 222g, depending on finish, it’s also a touch heavier.

Both phones feel light for their size and come with side-mounted fingerprint sensors, IP ratings for water and dust resistance (IP48 for Samsung, IP58/IP59 for Honor), and stylus support. However, Samsung has dropped S Pen compatibility due to space constraints in its thinner frame.

2. Displays

Samsung has upgraded the cover screen to 6.5 inches with a 21:9 aspect ratio, making it look and feel more like a traditional smartphone when folded. The inner display is now a full 8 inches, matching the iPad mini in size. Both screens are AMOLED panels with a 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ support.

Honor’s Magic V5 flaunts a 6.43-inch cover display and a 7.95-inch inner screen. Both are LTPO OLEDs with 120Hz refresh rates and have a much brighter peak brightness at 5000 nits, compared to Samsung’s 2600 nits.

The Fold 7 also has a new 10MP ultrawide camera on the main screen. It comes in place of the under-display pixel cluster seen on older models. On the flip side, the crease on the Z Fold 7 is still visible in certain lighting. Honor’s crease is no less noticeable, but its “Super Armored” inner screen may offer better scratch resistance.

3. Cameras

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 finally gets the flagship camera treatment. It features a 200MP main camera, the same sensor as the S25 Ultra. It’s joined by a 12MP ultrawide and a 10MP 3x telephoto lens. Likewise, both the inner and outer screen has 10MP cameras. The camera setup supports 8K video and up to 960fps slow motion.

Honor doesn’t chase megapixel numbers, but instead offers a more balanced setup. The V5 has a 50MP main camera, a 50MP ultrawide, and a 64MP periscope telephoto with 3x optical zoom. It also supports 4K video and includes laser autofocus.

Despite Samsung’s 200MP sensor, the Z Fold 7 lacks a periscope lens, likely due to the device’s thin profile. That limits optical zoom. Honor, on the other hand, manages to include one, giving it a slight edge in versatility.

4. Performance and Software

Both phones are powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, with Honor using the AB variant and Samsung the AC variant. The differences between the two chips are minimal, but Samsung’s version may be slightly better optimized for heat and performance. Both use the same Adreno 830 GPU.

Samsung ships the Z Fold 7 with Android 16 and promises seven years of software support. It runs One UI 8, which integrates deeply with Google’s Gemini AI. That includes features like Gemini Live and an improved Circle to Search that works in games and multitasking.

Honor ships the V5 with Android 15 under MagicOS 9. It also includes Circle to Search but doesn’t yet match Samsung’s AI integration or long-term software guarantees.

5. Battery and Charging

Despite its slim body, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 houses a 4,400mAh battery. Samsung claims it can deliver 24 hours of video playback. Charging speeds are relatively modest: 25W wired, 15W wireless, and 4.5W reverse.

Honor’s Magic V5 outpaces it with a much larger 5,820mAh battery. It supports 66W wired charging, 50W wireless charging, and 5W reverse wired charging. That’s a clear step up, especially for power users.

6. Pricing and Availability

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 starts at $1,999.99 in the US and £1,799 in the UK. It’s available in three standard colors—Blue Shadow, Silver Shadow, Jet Black—and one exclusive Mint color from Samsung’s online store.

Honor hasn’t confirmed pricing for global markets yet, but based on Chinese pricing and past models, it’s likely to undercut Samsung by a few hundred dollars. It will launch globally in Black, Dawn Gold, Reddish Brown, and Ivory White.

7. Final Thoughts

Both the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Honor Magic V5 are among the best foldable phones you can buy in 2025. This year, Samsung has made its most significant update yet to its foldable lineup since its introduction. Meanwhile, Honor focuses on offering better hardware overall, with a larger battery and a periscope lens.

If you’re already in the Samsung ecosystem or want the longest Android support window available, the Z Fold 7 makes more sense. But if you’re looking for better battery life, brighter screens, and a slightly lower price, the Honor Magic V5 is hard to ignore.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 drops S Pen support

By

Soumyakanti

-

Jul 9, 2025

Samsung has officially unveiled the Galaxy Z Fold 7 at its Galaxy Unpacked event in New York, introducing a thinner and lighter foldable flagship with upgraded hardware, improved displays, and enhanced durability. However, the device no longer supports the S Pen stylus, a significant shift for the Fold series.

Since the Galaxy Z Fold 3, S Pen support had been a staple feature, enabling productivity and creative use on the large inner screen. With the Fold 7, Samsung has dropped that support entirely. The company explained that enabling S Pen functionality would have required an additional digitizer layer, increasing the device’s thickness.

To maintain a sleeker form, Samsung prioritized design, trimming the unfolded thickness from 5.6mm to just 4.2mm and reducing the weight from 239g to 215g. As a result, the Fold 7 is now the lightest large-format foldable on the market.

The device features a larger 8-inch Infinity Flex Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner display, 11% bigger than its predecessor, with both inner and outer screens supporting a 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rate and up to 2600 nits peak brightness. Samsung has also ditched the under-display camera in favor of a standard 10MP front sensor to improve image clarity.

Performance gets a boost with the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset. The Fold 7 marks a first for the series by introducing a 200MP main rear camera, joined by a 12MP ultra-wide and a 10MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom. Battery capacity remains at 4400mAh, with 25W wired charging, 15W wireless charging, and 4.5W reverse wireless support.

Samsung has also focused on improving durability. The new Armor FlexHinge, a titanium-layered display, and Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 help reinforce the structure. The phone is rated IP48 for resistance to dust and splashes.

The removal of S Pen support on the Z Fold 7, along with the recent decision to eliminate Bluetooth features from the S Pen on the Galaxy S25 Ultra, signals a broader shift in Samsung’s approach. It suggests the company may be repositioning the stylus from a productivity-first tool to a simpler input method, leaving long-time S Pen users uncertain about its future role in Samsung’s flagship ecosystem.

Realme 15 Pro’s chipset gets confirmed; and it handles ‘AI Edit Genie’

By

-

Jul 9, 2025

Realme is preparing to unveil its new Realme 15 series later this month, and the spotlight is already on the 15 Pro. The official launch is scheduled for July 24, 2025.

Powered by Snapdragon 7 Gen 4

Realme has confirmed that the 15 Pro 5G will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 — a 4nm chip with a 1+3+4 core architecture and a top clock speed of 2.8GHz. According to Qualcomm, this chipset offers a significant boost over its predecessor, with 27% faster CPU performance and 30% better GPU performance.

To enhance the gaming experience, Realme is introducing GT Boost 3.0, which enables stable 120FPS gameplay in popular titles like BGMI. It’s paired with AI Gaming Coach 2.0 for real-time gameplay advice and AI Ultra Touch Control, which improves touch sensitivity in fast-paced action zones.

On the software side, both the Realme 15 and 15 Pro will include a new AI Edit Genie — a voice-enabled photo editing tool that can perform tasks like cropping and color correction just by voice command.

In terms of hardware, it’s expected to feature a 50MP periscope telephoto alongside a 50MP main camera, a 1.5K AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a large 6,000mAh battery with support for 80W fast charging.

The Realme 15 Pro is confirmed to have at least three finishes — Flowing Silver, Velvet Green, and Silk Purple — while the standard Realme 15 will be offered in Silk Pink, Flowing Silver, and Velvet Green.

With its new AI features, upgraded performance, and bold design, the Realme 15 Pro could appear as an appealing option to mid-range buyers.

Galaxy Z Fold 7 is Official: Samsung’s Thinnest Fold Yet with Snapdragon 8 Elite

By

-

Jul 9, 2025

Samsung has officially taken the wraps off the highly anticipated Galaxy Z Fold 7, its thinnest and most refined foldable smartphone to date. The new foldable not only gets a design overhaul with a slimmer, lighter build but also packs the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset for top-tier performance. From improved durability, a better hinge mechanism, and upgraded cameras, here’s everything you need to know about the brand’s latest flagship foldable.

1. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7: Design & Displays

The South Korean tech giant is finally catching up on the foldable design elements with Chinese competitors since the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is a lot thinner now. To recall, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 measured 5.6mm when unfolded and 12.1mm when folded. But now, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 measures just 4.2mm unfolded and 8.9mm when folded. For a quick comparison, Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S25 Ultra weighs 218 grams, while the Z Fold 7 is lighter at 215 grams. Samsung has also made improvements to the hinge with what it calls the Armor Flexhinge along with an IP48 rating for water and dust resistance.

The cover display is a 6.5-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a 21:9 aspect ratio, FHD+ resolution, Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 for protection, and a 120Hz refresh rate. Meanwhile, the primary screen is a gorgeous 8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel with a QXGA+ resolution (2184 x 1968) and 120Hz refresh rate. A notable downgrade this year is the removal of the Galaxy S Pen from the Galaxy Z Fold 7. But this allowed the brand to make the UTG (Ultra-Thin-Glass) slightly thicker.

2. Performance

Samsung is bringing top tier performance on the Z Fold 7, which is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy. This chip is paired with up to 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of internal storage. Unfortunately, there is no upgrade to the battery size or charging speeds. So we still get a 4,400mAh cell with 25W wired fast charging and wireless charging support (similar to its predecessor). While the internal hasn’t received a massive upgrade, the company has worked on improving the software experience, along with Galaxy AI and improved Gemini integration.

3. Camera

One leap in the new Galaxy Z Fold 7 is a true flagship grade camera. The rear brings the same 200MP camera (1/1.3-inch sensor, F1.7 aperture), which is found on the Galaxy S25 Ultra and Galaxy S25 Edge. Although, the other two cameras leave a lot to be desired since they consist of a 12MP ultra wide angle lens and a 10MP telephoto shooter with 3x optical zoom. The under-display selfie camera on the primary screen is gone. Now both the main and cover screen have a punch hole cutout for the 10MP front facing shooter.

4. Pricing and Availability

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 has just been announced in three color options, namely Silver Shadow, Navy, and Pink. It is currently listed for pre-orders with first sale of the flagship foldable set to kick off on 25th July 2025. So here are its pricing:

Global Pricing

12GB + 256GB – 1,999 US Dollars
12GB + 512GB – 2,199 US Dollars
16GB + 1TB – 2,499 US Dollars

Notably, the 512GB and 1TB models are available for pre-orders right now for 1,999 US Dollars and 2,269 US Dollars, respectively.

Indian Pricing

12GB + 256GB – 174,999 INR (roughly 2,041 US Dollars)
12GB + 512GB – 186,999 INR (roughly 2,181 US Dollars)
16GB + 1TB – 210,999 INR (roughly 2,461 US Dollars)

Baidu and CAR Inc. Launch First Public Autonomous Car Rental Service in China

By

Soumyakanti

-

Jul 9, 2025

Baidu’s autonomous driving unit Apollo and leading car rental company CAR Inc. have officially launched the world’s first autonomous car rental service for the general public. The service went live on Tuesday in Wuhan, China, following the announcement of the partnership between the two companies in May.

Baidu and CAR Inc Launch First Public Autonomous Car Rental Service

The new service allows users to rent fully driverless vehicles without any human assistance. It runs on Baidu Apollo’s Level 4 autonomous driving platform and integrates with CAR Inc.’s national rental network. This marks the first time in China that a car rental service combines fully autonomous driving with a self-service rental process.

Users can access the service through the CAR Inc. mobile app. The booking process includes selecting a time and pickup location. The system then dispatches the nearest available autonomous vehicle. After ID verification, the vehicle drives itself to the pickup spot and unlocks automatically. Once the ride is complete, the car navigates on its own to the drop-off location.

The current fleet features custom-built Apollo vehicles that seat up to three passengers. The vehicles use Baidu’s driverless technology and are designed for short to mid-term rentals. The service supports bookings from four hours up to seven days and follows CAR Inc.’s existing pricing structure.

During the rental period, users can set their own routes within the designated operational area. The service targets a wide range of use cases, including daily commuting, weekend travel, and tourism.

Baidu and CAR Inc. said the service aims to support users who may not drive, such as elderly individuals, tourists, and people with disabilities. The companies plan to expand the service to more regions in China as part of a broader strategy to modernize the country’s car rental industry. Analysts expect the Chinese rental market to surpass 300 billion yuan (approximately $41 billion) by 2030.

As autonomous technology continues to mature and regulatory frameworks adapt, this pioneering service is set to transform the way people perceive and utilize personal transportation, potentially ushering in an era where vehicle ownership becomes less of a necessity and mobility-as-a-service becomes the norm.

In related news, the Lucid Air Grand Touring has set a new world record with a 1,205 km range on a single charge. Meanwhile, Geely has launched the Galaxy A7 hybrid sedan, boasting a fuel efficiency of 2.67L/100km, a total range of 2,100 km, and 21 aerodynamic enhancements.

Apple iPhone 17e expected in spring 2026, continuing the annual budget iPhone cycle

By

-

Jul 9, 2025

After launching the iPhone 16e earlier this year, Apple appears to be sticking to a yearly refresh cycle for its more affordable smartphone line. According to a new report, the iPhone 17e is already in the pipeline and is expected to arrive sometime in spring 2026.

A report from South Korea’s The Elec—a reliable source for supply chain developments—claims the iPhone 17e will launch between March and May next year. This lines up with Apple’s strategy of moving away from the sporadic iPhone SE releases (2016, 2020, and 2022) and toward something more consistent, akin to Google’s annual Pixel “a” series refreshes.

No major display changes — but other upgrades expected

The iPhone 17e is expected to retain the same 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display used in the iPhone 16e, featuring a 1170×2532 resolution, 60Hz refresh rate, and up to 1200 nits of peak brightness. This panel originally debuted with the iPhone 14, and multiple suppliers—including BOE, Samsung Display, and LG Display—are said to be involved again, with BOE reportedly supplying the largest share. While the display isn’t changing, improvements are likely coming elsewhere.

The company wants to maintain a distinct separation between the budget-friendly “e” line and its flagship models like the iPhone 17 Pro, to avoid overlap or cannibalization. The iPhone 17e is expected to retain its $599 price tag, though ongoing US tariffs could affect final pricing. With trial production already underway, rumors suggest a May 2026 release is likely.

The iPhone 17e will likely go head-to-head with Samsung’s rumored Galaxy S25 FE, which could feature the Exynos 2400e. Apple’s approach also focuses on cost-effective component reuse to keep pricing competitive.

OnePlus 13 vs Vivo X200 FE: Which Premium Phone Is Right for You?

By

-

Jul 9, 2025

OnePlus 13 and Vivo X200 FE represent two of the most compelling Android flagships in their price segments, offering cutting-edge hardware and refined software experiences. This comparison matters because both phones pack premium features like powerful chipsets, high-quality displays, and advanced cameras, yet they target different user needs. One focuses on raw performance and pro-level features, while the other emphasizes efficiency, compact design, and value.

1. Design and Display

OnePlus 13

Build and Feel:
Both phones offer premium builds, but the OnePlus 13 goes a step further with options like eco-leather or glass back paired with an aluminum frame. The ceramic guard on the front adds additional scratch protection, and IP68/IP69 ratings are present on both. However, OnePlus includes more rugged resistance certification, making it feel slightly more durable in extreme use. Vivo X200 FE is lighter and more compact, ideal for users wanting a one-hand friendly device, but lacks the robust, premium finish flexibility of the OnePlus.

Display Quality:
The OnePlus 13 features a larger 6.82-inch LTPO 4.1 AMOLED display with 1440p resolution and Dolby Vision, peaking at 4500 nits. It supports advanced standards like Ultra HDR and HDR Vivid, making it better for multimedia consumption and HDR streaming. Vivo X200 FE’s 6.31-inch panel is slightly smaller and uses LTPO AMOLED with comparable 2160Hz PWM and 4500–5000 nits brightness, but with lower resolution (1216p). While it’s still excellent, the OnePlus display delivers sharper details and broader HDR support.

Verdict:
The OnePlus 13 leads in build flexibility and display performance, offering a more immersive and premium viewing experience. Vivo X200 FE impresses with compact ergonomics, but OnePlus delivers more in both ruggedness and screen technology.

2. Specifications

Vivo X200 FE

Performance:
The OnePlus 13 is powered by the cutting-edge Snapdragon 8 Elite, featuring high-performance Oryon V2 cores and Adreno 830 GPU. It’s designed for intensive tasks, gaming, and long-term performance with UFS 4.0 storage. The Vivo X200 FE, with its Dimensity 9300+ and Immortalis-G720 GPU, also performs excellently, especially in multi-core tasks and AI-heavy operations. However, OnePlus’s more powerful single-core speeds and superior GPU give it an edge in gaming and sustained performance. It’s also better optimized for future Android updates through OxygenOS.

Battery and Charging:
Vivo X200 FE houses a massive 6500 mAh battery (global variant), which is larger than the OnePlus 13’s 6000 mAh unit. While Vivo supports 90W wired charging, OnePlus offers 100W wired, along with 50W wireless and 10W reverse wireless, providing far greater charging flexibility. Despite the slightly smaller capacity, OnePlus charges faster and supports more modern charging modes, enhancing daily convenience.

Verdict:
While Vivo X200 FE has a larger battery, the OnePlus 13 delivers stronger performance and faster, more versatile charging. It’s a better all-around performer, especially for users who need speed and charging flexibility.

3. Camera

OnePlus 13

Main and Secondary Lenses:
The OnePlus 13’s triple 50 MP setup includes a wide, periscope telephoto, and ultrawide sensor, each finely tuned with Hasselblad color calibration, laser focus, and Dolby Vision video. It supports 8K video and higher frame-rate 4K/1080p shooting. Vivo also features a 50 MP triple array with Zeiss optics and T* coating, offering excellent clarity and optical quality. However, its ultrawide sensor is only 8 MP, which reduces overall versatility. OnePlus’s hardware delivers more consistent performance across all three lenses and better video capabilities.

Selfie Camera:
Vivo X200 FE boasts a 50 MP front camera with 4K video, making it excellent for sharp selfies and video calls. OnePlus 13 has a 32 MP sensor but includes gyro-EIS and 4K/60fps support. While Vivo wins in raw resolution, OnePlus’s front camera excels in stabilization and dynamic range. However, for social content and detail, Vivo’s 50 MP selfie shooter stands out more.

Verdict:
The OnePlus 13 dominates in rear camera flexibility and pro-grade features, but Vivo X200 FE edges out in selfie quality with a sharper front camera. For rear camera users, OnePlus is the stronger choice.

4. Pricing

VIVO X200 FE

The OnePlus 13 is priced around $900, while the Vivo X200 FE is available for approximately $700. For $200 less, Vivo delivers competitive performance, excellent battery life, and strong camera specs, making it a high-value offering. However, the OnePlus 13 justifies its premium with better display tech, flagship-grade internals, faster charging, and superior camera versatility. Users seeking maximum value per dollar may lean toward the Vivo X200 FE, but those wanting a no-compromise flagship experience will find the OnePlus 13 well worth the extra cost.

5. Conclusion

Vivo X200 FE

OnePlus 13 stands out with features like Hasselblad camera tuning, ultra-fast UFS 4.0 storage, 8K video, 50W wireless charging, and advanced ultrasonic fingerprint sensing. It also includes “Circle to Search,” a unique feature aiding user interaction. Vivo X200 FE shines with a compact build, larger battery (globally), and a 50 MP selfie camera, making it more appealing for casual creators or users preferring portability and endurance.

Verdict:
Choose the OnePlus 13 if performance, photography, display excellence, and charging speed are priorities. It’s ideal for flagship seekers. Pick Vivo X200 FE if budget, battery life, and selfie quality are more important; it delivers exceptional value while covering most premium essentials.

This is a 50MP camera that has a 1/1.28-inch sensor size (similar to the sensor found on the iPhone 16 Pro models). This is a smaller camera compared to the 1-inch sensor featured on the Pura 80 Pros and Pura 80 Ultra models. But this will be built on a 22nm process with a 1.2μm pixel size.

With the Mate 80 RS Ultimate, Huawei may offer 4K video recording at 120fps along with advanced quad phase-detect auto focus and CMOS imaging, which could be from either OmniVision or Samsung.

According to recent reports, the Vivo X300 series of flagship phones could be officially unveiled in September this year. Well before the official announcement, trusted tipster Digital Chat Station has shared what seems to be the core specifications of a device believed to be the Vivo X300 Pro Mini.

Vivo X300 Pro Mini specifications (rumored)

As per the leak, the Vivo X300 Pro Mini may feature a 6.3-inch flat OLED screen with a 1.5K resolution and an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor. The phone is also said to incorporate LIPO display packaging technology, which will allow it to sport ultra-narrow bezels.

Internally, the device will reportedly be powered by the Dimensity 9500 chipset—MediaTek’s upcoming flagship SoC. As per reports, the chip will debut in September.

The leak further states that the X300 Pro Mini’s rear camera setup will include a 50-megapixel Sony IMX882 periscope telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. This module is said to include a precision optical focus prism, likely enhancing zoom stability and focus accuracy.

It is also expected to come with a high level of waterproofing, suggesting that it may carry an IP68/69 rating.

While the Max variant is tipped to arrive sometime in August, the standard X70 is set to launch on July 15. The brand has already confirmed key details such as its massive battery, charging capabilities, and the overall design. Now, a fresh leak from noted tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed the full specifications of the X70, leaving little to the imagination ahead of the official unveiling.

Honor X70 specifications (rumored)

The Honor X70 is expected to feature a 6.79-inch OLED screen that delivers a resolution of 2640 x 1200 pixels. The flat display will support a 120Hz refresh rate, a peak brightness of 6000 nits, and 3840Hz PWM dimming. On the front, an 8-megapixel camera is expected to handle selfies and video calling duties.

The rear camera setup will be headlined by an OIS-enabled 50-megapixel camera. On the software front, the device is expected to run Magic OS 9, which is based on Android 15.

Under the hood, the Honor X70 will likely be powered by the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chipset. It is expected to arrive in multiple configurations, with the top-end model offering 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. A standout feature is its huge 8,300mAh battery, which supports 80W wired charging across all variants. Interestingly, the highest configuration may also include support for 80W wireless charging.

Additional features include an optical under-display fingerprint scanner, dual speakers, NFC, infrared blaster, tri-band BeiDou, and dual-frequency GPS.

Google Pixel 10 prototype reveals periscope telephoto within familiar design

By

-

Jul 9, 2025

With Google expected to unveil the Pixel 10 lineup this August, an early prototype of the phone has surfaced in a surprising place — a Chinese auction site — revealing some intriguing details ahead of the official announcement. While the design seems familiar, there’s a notable camera upgrade that could make this year’s Pixel stand out.

The device in question appeared on Goofish, a Chinese secondhand marketplace. According to the listing, the prototype is tied to the Engineering Validation Testing (EVT) phase, though a closer look at the photos shows a “DVT” (Design Validation Test) label — which usually indicates an earlier stage in the product development cycle.

One of the biggest takeaways from the leak is confirmation of Google’s upcoming Tensor G5 chip, said to be built on TSMC’s 3nm process. This should offer better efficiency and thermal performance compared to previous models.

Design-wise, the prototype doesn’t stray far from the Pixel 9. It’s still expected to feature a 6.3-inch flat OLED panel with slim bezels and Google’s signature horizontal camera bar on the back. However, the camera system has received a notable upgrade. Instead of the typical dual-lens setup found on base Pixel models, this unit includes three lenses: a 48MP main sensor, a 12MP ultrawide, and — for the first time on a non-Pro Pixel — a 10.8MP (1/3.2″) 5x periscope telephoto sensor. This zoom capability was previously reserved for Pro variants and the Pixel Fold. This addition will surely enhance clarity in long-range zoom shots by a significant margin, at least when there is sufficient light.

Of course, any information from auction listings should be taken with caution. But with Google’s Made by Google event rumored for August 20, where the Pixel Watch 4 is also expected to debut, we won’t have to wait long for confirmation.

If the leak holds true, the Pixel 10 could offer a significant camera upgrade while keeping the clean design Pixel users know well. Whether that’s enough to stand out in a crowded flagship market remains to be seen.
