Vivo is expanding its V50 series with the V50 Elite Edition, launching in India on May 15, 2025. Teased with Zeiss-co-engineered cameras and hints of superior audio, this premium variant joins the V50 and V50e, promising enhanced portrait photography and immersive sound.
Teaser video confirms launch date and partnership with Zeiss
Vivo’s V50 series, already featuring the V50 and V50e, is getting a high-end addition with the V50 Elite Edition, set to debut at 12 PM IST on May 15, per Vivo India’s X post. The teaser video showcases a circular camera island with “co-engineered with Zeiss” branding, signaling a focus on advanced imaging. The tagline “portraits that captivate” and “sound that surrounds” suggests upgrades over the standard V50’s camera and audio, launched in February 2025.
To recall, the V50 came with a 6.77-inch FHD+ quad-curved AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate and 4,500-nit peak brightness, powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 SoC. It’s paired with 8/12GB RAM, 128/256/512GB storage, a 50MP main camera with OIS, a 50MP ultrawide with macro capabilities, and a 50MP selfie camera, plus a 6,000mAh battery with 90W fast charging. The Elite Edition is expected to retain these specs but introduce a premium design, possibly with a new finish or “Elite Edition” engraving.
vivo V50
Priced from ₹34,999 for the V50, the Elite Edition is expected to hover around ₹40,000, targeting mid-premium buyers. With IP68/IP69 ratings and Funtouch OS 15 based on Android 15, it’s set to compete with the likes of the iQOO Neo 10 (India), especially appealing to users who prioritize design and camera quality over raw performance. As per the recent teasers, the Neo 10 (India) will be priced “under INR 35K,” and is the “segment’s first 144fps gaming smartphone.”
The V50 Elite Edition could also be considered as an alternative to the Realme GT 7, a premium mid-range device, set for launch globally on May 27.
Will the vivo V50 Elite Edition’s Zeiss optics and audio enhancements make it a standout, or is it just a stylish V50 refresh? The May 15 launch will reveal all.
Nothing’s CEO, Carl Pei, previously revealed that the Nothing Phone (3), the brand’s first true flagship, will launch in Q3 2025. Now he reveals the pricing: around £800 (~$1,063, ₹90,500). Promising premium materials, major performance upgrades, and advanced software, it’s set to compete with top-tier flagships.
Nothing is gearing up for its biggest launch yet with the Nothing Phone (3), slated for July-September 2025, aligning with the summer releases of the Phone (1) in July 2022 and Phone (2) in July 2023. In a recent YouTube video on the Android channel, Carl Pei revealed the phone’s price—around £800, a significant jump from the Phone (2)’s ₹44,999 starting price in India. This translates to roughly €951, $1,063, or ₹90,500, positioning the Phone (3) as a premium contender against devices like the Galaxy S25 Plus (currently $999.99 on Amazon).
Pei teased “premium materials,” possibly a titanium frame or advanced glass, alongside “major performance upgrades,” with rumors pointing to a Snapdragon 8 Elite or a flagship Dimensity chip like the Dimensity 9400 or 9400+.
The Phone (3) is also rumored to pack a customizable Action Button, inspired by the iPhone, and a 6.5-inch AMOLED display, with a Pro variant possibly boasting a 6.7-inch screen. The software, likely Nothing OS 3.0 on Android 15, will feature deep AI integration for a personalized UI, potentially revamping the home screen.
Following the mid-range Phone (3a) and (3a) Pro launches in March 2025, the Phone (3) aims to solidify Nothing’s flagship ambitions. Priced higher than the Phone (2), it’s a bold move, but will its AI-driven features and premium build justify the cost? We’re pumped to find out.

DJI’s latest flagship drone, the Mavic 4 Pro, doesn’t radically change the formula, but it quietly upgrades nearly every core component. The result is a compact flying camera system that shoots sharper video, flies longer, and sees more of its surroundings. But it’s not coming to the US just yet. All about it is here in this article.
DJI Mavic 4 Pro has triple camera setup
At the core of the drone is a new triple-camera setup. The main sensor is now a 100MP Four Thirds Hasselblad camera with a 28mm wide-angle lens, up from the 20MP sensor in the previous model. It features an adjustable aperture from f/2.0 to f/11 and captures 6K/60fps video with up to 16 stops of dynamic range.
Next to it are two telephoto cameras. One is a 48MP medium telephoto with a 70mm lens and a 50MP long telephoto with a 168mm f/2.8 lens. The long telephoto is the main upgrade here. It’s a jump from 12MP to 50MP and now features a faster f/2.8 aperture.
All three cameras can record 4K at 60fps HDR and 4K at 120fps slow-motion. The main module takes things a step further with support for 6K at 60fps and up to 16 stops of dynamic range.
You also, of course, don’t miss out on 10-bit D-Log, D-Log M, and HLG profiles. And DJI says it has worked to ensure color consistency across all three cameras, so it’s quicker to get post-production done.
Upgraded gimbal and battery
While the cameras themselves seem like a big upgrade, more so is the gimbal system holding them. DJI dubs it the 360° Infinity Gimbal, and as the name suggests, it can do a full rotation to pull off more experimental shots like Dutch angles or true vertical video. It can even tilt 70 degrees upward for architectural or action shots.
Despite the added hardware, the drone’s weight only climbs slightly — about 105 grams more than its predecessor for a total of 2.3 pounds (1.06kg). What users get in return is improved endurance. It has a bigger 95Wh battery that provides up to 51 minutes of flight time, the longest for a Mavic drone and near the limit of what can legally be carried on most flights.
That extended flight time is paired with a faster top speed of 90km/h and a reworked transmission system. The DJI O4+ link supports up to 41km of range, or 10-bit HDR video transmission at up to 30km.
As for navigation, the drone uses six fisheye sensors with low-light vision and dual processors to enable omnidirectional obstacle avoidance even at 65km/h. DJI says the system can also operate without GPS, as it can map the surroundings in real time to return home if a signal drops.
The ActiveTrack 360° system can follow subjects even when partially hidden and can lock onto vehicles up to 200 meters away.
Mavic 4 Pro Controllers and Accessories
DJI is also rolling out a new controller, the DJI RC Pro 2. It includes a 7-inch mini-LED display, 128GB of internal storage, and up to 4 hours of battery life. t supports both internal and external audio recording via a paired DJI Mic.
In terms of onboard storage, the base Mavic 4 Pro comes with 64GB, while the higher-end Creator Combo bumps that to 512GB.
Also new is the Parallel Charging Hub, which optimizes battery charging by giving priority to the lowest-charged battery before leveling out all three. It can charge one in 50 minutes, or three in 90 minutes, and can redistribute charge between batteries or serve as a 100W power bank for external devices.
For offloading footage, DJI’s QuickTransfer feature uses Wi-Fi 6 to wirelessly move video files at up to 80MB/s. Alternatively, you can also use Wired USB-C for transfer.
Pricing and Availability
Despite its spec sheet and upgraded internals, the Mavic 4 Pro will not be sold in the United States, at least for now. It’s currently available only in Europe.
The price starts at €2,100 for the standard kit, which includes the drone and a basic RC 2 controller. The Fly More Combo at €2,700 adds extra batteries, a 100W adapter, a charging hub, and a carrying case.
The top-tier Creator Combo, priced at €3,540, adds more internal storage, the RC Pro 2 controller, a 240W charger, and additional cables.

OnePlus has officially launched the Pad 2 Pro in China, its latest high-end tablet that follows last year’s Pad Pro. The update maintains the company’s focus on premium hardware while offering some predictable refinements alongside a few more noticeable upgrades.
OnePlus Pad 2 Pro Specifications
The OnePlus Pad 2 Pro now features a slightly larger 13.2-inch display with a 7:5 aspect ratio and 3.4K resolution. Like the original, it’s an IPS LCD panel with a 144Hz refresh rate, but the brightness is now rated at 900 nits in high-brightness mode.
Powering the Pad 2 Pro is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, which replaces last year’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. OnePlus pairs this with LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.0 storage. The device runs Android 15 with ColorOS 15 on top.
The tablet carries over a similar camera setup with a 13MP rear shooter and an 8MP front-facing camera, both unchanged from the previous model. The battery gets a notable upgrade to 12,140mAh from 9,510mAh, though charging remains at 67 watts via USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C.

Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge stands out from the flagship crowd, but not just because of specs. At just 5.8mm thick and weighing only 163g, it’s the slimmest phone in the Galaxy S25 series, offering a stunningly sleek profile without compromising on raw power.
You also get the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, the big 200MP main camera of the Galaxy S25 Ultra, and a premium build quality. But for its $1,099 price tag, the downsides are hard to ignore. The battery capacity is quite tiny, and its charging speeds are slow as well. So who exactly is this slim powerhouse made for? Let’s break it down.
1. Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge: Flagship Specs That Impress
The South Korean tech giant’s latest premium model carries a premium price, starting from an exorbitant $1,099. But Samsung’s justifies the price with a titanium frame like the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The rear has a glass panel, while the front sports a tall 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a 2K+ resolution, 1-120Hz variable refresh rate, and Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 for protection.
Under the hood, it is equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, which is paired with 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB of internal storage. For photography, the rear has the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s 200MP main camera along with a 12MP ultra wide angle lens. So you’re getting cutting edge specs and flagship level features.
2. Ultra-Thin Design
If you’re someone who cares deeply about how a phone feels in the hand, the Galaxy S25 Edge is practically unmatched. The titanium frame and Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 protection offer a luxurious build, while the slim and light profile make it ideal for one-handed use and everyday portability.
This makes it a dream for minimalists who want a phone that’s as sleek as it is premium. It’s also a compelling choice for users who are tired of bulky phones and want something elegant without compromising too much on power.
3. So who is it for?
Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge alongside the entire Galaxy S25 series
Over the years, it has become clear that battery life is one of the biggest concerns for users. Buyers would rather have a slightly thicker or taller phone for a bigger battery. But Samsung took the opposite direction. So it is clearly trying to kick off a new trend (ahead of Apple’s iPhone 17 Air) or tap into a specific demographic. This might include light to moderate users who don’t game or multitask heavily and can afford the smaller battery.
There are also people who value a lightweight design, since it is easier to hold and carry around. The premium aesthetics and sleek form factor are another positive point. But apart from all of this, loyal customers of the brand and early adopters of new innovations may also like the Galaxy S25 Edge.
4. Who Should Probably Skip It?
If you’re a heavy user, gamer, or someone who needs your phone to last well into the night, the S25 Edge is likely not for you. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is powered by a tiny 3,900mAh battery. This capacity is even smaller than the 4,000mAh cell on the tiny Galaxy S25. Just like the base model, the S25 Edge also offers a disappointing 25W wired fast charging (also supports 15W wireless charging). With a hefty $1,099 price tag, it is also quite expensive for most people.

Meizu is officially stepping back into the flagship race with its next major smartphone, the Meizu 22. At its product event this afternoon in China, Meizu teased the upcoming device, branding it the company’s “AI-era compact flagship.” While the company stopped short of revealing the phone’s full design or images, it did confirm key details about the product’s positioning and launch timeline.
Meizu signals a bold comeback with its AI-focused compact flagship
According to Meizu, the 22 will focus on compact form factor and one-handed usability, featuring a 71mm wide display designed for better grip and ergonomics. It’s a direction rarely explored in recent Android flagships, most of which have trended toward larger, heavier designs. Meizu claims this will be its most comfortable small-screen phone to date.
Another major area of focus is imaging. Starting with the Meizu 22 series, the company says it will make no-compromise investments in camera hardware and software, aiming to completely overhaul its reputation in mobile photography. This likely means the device will feature an advanced sensor setup and AI-enhanced imaging pipeline. The company also hinted at building out a broader “Meizu 22 universe,” which may include other models or ecosystem accessories later on. The flagship is scheduled to launch this summer in China, though a precise date has not been revealed.
Earlier this month, a leaked image believed to show the Meizu 22 surfaced online. GSMArena suggested that the phone could feature an altered camera module design and a premium build. The same leak hinted at a Snapdragon 8-series chipset, reportedly the Snapdragon 8 Elite, and Flyme AIOS 2 as the operating system.
Meizu 22 (right)
Alongside the Meizu 22 teaser, the company also launched its latest mid-range Note 16 series at the event. The Note 16 Pro features a 6.78-inch 1.5K 144Hz AMOLED panel, Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chip, up to 16GB RAM (plus 12GB virtual), a VC cooling system, and a 6200mAh battery with 80W fast charging. It carries IP66 and IP68 ratings, along with TÜV SÜD’s “triple-proof quality” certification. Pricing starts at 1,499 yuan (~$208).
The standard Note 16 comes with a 6.78-inch FHD+ LCD, 120Hz refresh rate, and a UNISOC T8200 chip. It houses a larger 6600mAh battery with 40W charging and supports IP65 resistance. This model starts at 799 yuan (~$111). Both phones ship with Flyme AIOS 2 based on Android 15, dual 50MP cameras, and customizable AI shortcut keys. Sales begin May 16 in China.

Meizu has just announced the Note 16 series, which is a pair of budget smartphones. The Meizu Note 16 Pro and Note 16 made its debut in the Chinese market with a durable build quality, massive batteries, and much more. So here are all the details.
Meizu Note 16 Pro
Talking about the more expensive model first, the Meizu Note 16 Pro features an ultra slim 6.75mm body. But despite its ultra thin form factor, it features an “anti-collision beam” structural design and “safety airbag” design. These are probably another way of saying that they are durable enough to withstand falls. It also comes with an IP66 + IP68 rating for water and dust resistance.
Meizu Note 16 Pro
On the front, the Note 16 Pro sports a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution, a 144Hz refresh rate, 4500 nits of peak brightness, 2160Hz PWM dimming, and HDR10+ support. Under the hood, it is equipped with the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 SoC, which is paired with up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage. A massive 6,200mAh battery pack powers this device, which supports 80W wired fast charging.
For optics, the rear has a 50MP main + 8MP ultra wide dual camera setup while the front houses an 8MP selfie shooter. Other notable features include dual SIM support, Android 16 OS based Flymoer AIOS 2 out of the box, an in-display fingerprint scanner, Bluetooth 5.4, WiFi 6, and stereo speakers.
Meizu Note 16
On the other hand, the Meizu Note 16 is a lot more affordable with its specificartions reflecting this. It features a 6.78-inch LCD panel with a FHD+ resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, DC dimming, and up to 1050 nits of peak brightness.

MediaTek just announced the Helio G200, its latest 4G chipset, and now we know where it’ll land first: Tecno’s upcoming Spark 40 Pro+. According to the company, the new phone will be the first to ship with the G200 under the hood. The Spark 40 series is launching globally in July.
The G200 doesn’t bring 5G to the table, but MediaTek seems to be doubling down on squeezing more out of 4G. The chip features an octa-core setup with two Cortex-A76 performance cores clocked at 2.2GHz and six Cortex-A55 efficiency cores running at 2.0GHz.
Helio G200 in Spark 40 Pro+ delivers 10% improvement
Tecno claims the SoC pulls in a score of around 470,000 on AnTuTu, which it says is roughly a 10% improvement over the previous generation.
Graphics see a modest bump, too. The Mali-G57 MC2 GPU now clocks at 1.1GHz, compared to 1.0GHz on the Helio G99 and G100. Tecno says that translates to a 10% gain in single-core GPU performance.
One of the more interesting additions here is support for what Tecno calls DC SAR, short for Dynamic Communication Smart Adaptive Response. In plain terms, it improves network reliability and efficiency when signal conditions are less than ideal.
Aside from this, the Helio G200 doesn’t bring any massive upgrade over the last-gen Helio G100, or even the Helio G99, for that matter. We have a separate story talking about the differences (or rather, should we say similarities) of these chips. You can check it out here.
Tecno hasn’t shared full specs for the Spark 40 Pro+ yet. It’s nearly two months to go before launch, so the company will likely start dropping teasers in the coming weeks. We’ll keep an eye out and update you as more details surface.

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 is set to become the world’s thinnest foldable, with bezels as slim as 1mm—potentially outshining the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s 1.32mm and Z Fold 6’s 1.9mm, per leaker Ice Universe. The Z Flip 7 also gets sleeker, with 1.2mm outer screen bezels, promising larger displays for both folded and unfolded usage. These two devices will be the highlight of Samsung’s July 2025 Unpacked event, and the bigger one is expected to be priced around $1,899.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 CAD renders by OnLeaks and AndroidHeadlines
Measuring 158.4 x 143.1mm unfolded, the Z Fold 7 is taller and wider than the Z Fold 6, paving the way for a larger 8.2-inch inner AMOLED display, up from 7.6 inches. Posts on X from @TheGalox_ add it’ll pack a 200MP main camera and Snapdragon 8 Elite, enhancing its flagship appeal.
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 isn’t slacking either. Its outer screen bezels drop to 1.2mm, enabling a bigger 4-inch cover display, compared to the Z Flip 6’s 3.4 inches. The inner screen grows to 6.85 inches from 6.7 inches, with a thinner 6.9mm folded design. Both phones, running One UI 8 on Android 16, aim for a premium look with reduced creases and IP68 ratings.
While the Fold 7 may earn the “slimmest” tag—similar to the S25 Edge—the 4,400mAh battery feels underwhelming in 2025. Especially considering that Samsung, like most Chinese smartphone makers, had the option to use high-density silicon-carbon batteries to significantly boost capacity without increasing thickness.
Will these slimmer bezels and bigger screens make Samsung’s 2025 foldables unbeatable, or are rivals like Oppo’s Find N5 closing in? We’re pumped to find out.
