Tech Wrap August 4: Vivo Y400 launch, Instagram live, Pixel 10 series offer
Vivo has launched its Y400 5G smartphone in India. Instagram users now need at least 1,000 followers to go live. Pixel 10 series offers announced. Google Deep Think mode in Gemini BS Tech New Delhi Vivo Y400 5G with 6000mAh battery, 90W charging launched China's Vivo has launched its Y400 5G smartphone in India. Priced at Rs 21,999 onwards, the smartphone packs a 6,000mAh battery and supports 90W fast wired charging. It also offers support for several AI-powered features such as AI Transcript Assist, AI Note Assist, and more. The smartphone is offered in two colourways: Glam White and Olive Green. Instagram has quietly introduced new eligibility requirements for its Live feature. Users will now need a minimum of 1,000 followers and must have a public account to initiate a Live broadcast. The Meta-owned platform has updated its Help Centre page to reflect the change and is reportedly showing pop-up messages to users who attempt to go live without meeting the criteria. Google has promised an exclusive offer with the Pixel 10 series for users subscribed to its India Store. According to an update on the official store page, the promotional deal will apply to the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL models. While the anticipated Pixel 10 Pro Fold is expected to debut alongside the rest of the lineup during the Made by Google event on August 20, Google has not confirmed its availability yet. A Roblox game titled 'Grow a Garden' has recently been making headlines for all the right reasons. For a long time, action-packed or strategy and shooting games have dominated the gaming community, but this time, a farming simulator game has reportedly shattered records. According to a Fortune report, Grow a Garden has claimed the top spot for having the most concurrent players of any game in history. Here's a breakdown of the success of the recently launched game. Google is rolling out the Gemini 2.5 Deep Think mode to AI Ultra subscribers. Previewed at the I/O 2025 conference, Deep Think in Gemini can generate multiple, 'parallel streams of thought' simultaneously. According to Google, this parallel thinking technique enables Gemini to generate many ideas at once and consider them side by side — similar to how people think — before refining, combining, or revising them to arrive at the best possible answer. If your YouTube channel name or handle no longer fits your content or feels outdated, it might be time for a rebrand. On YouTube, your channel name is your public-facing brand title, while your handle is the unique @identifier used in mentions, URLs, and Shorts. Both can be changed easily—no tech skills required—whether you're using a phone or a desktop. Sony is reportedly working on its next-generation gaming console, the PlayStation 6. Reportedly, the launch of PlayStation 6 is still a few years away, however, alleged specifications of the next generation of Sony-owned gaming console have surfaced on the web. A YouTube channel named 'Moore's Law Is Dead,' somehow came across AMD documents from 2023, which revealed key specifications of PS6. Microsoft has confirmed in a support document that it is going to end all support for Windows 11 SE, which was essentially designed as a rival to Google's ChromeOS, by 2026. It has been nearly five years since the US technology giant launched this operating system for low-cost laptops. Now, as per Microsoft, support for Windows 11 SE will end in October 2026. Apple is said to be working on a homegrown artificial intelligence-powered chatbot aimed at competing with services like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google Gemini. As per a report by Bloomberg, the company has created a new internal team called 'Answers, Knowledge and Information' (AKI), tasked with building in-house AI services — including what's described as a 'ChatGPT-like search experience.' Truecaller is pulling the plug on its call-recording feature for iPhone users starting September 30. The feature, which was introduced just over two years ago for paid subscribers, will no longer be available as the company looks to shift focus back to its core spam-blocking services, according to a report by TechCrunch.

OPPO K13 Turbo Series: Power. Precision. Performance. The Turbo Era Begins!
VMPL New Delhi [India], August 4: In today's gaming-first world, performance is not just expected, it is demanded. Whether it's surviving the final circle in BGMI or pulling off clutch moves in Call of Duty: Mobile, smartphone gamers need devices that deliver unwavering speed, thermal efficiency, and console-grade stability. Addressing this demand, OPPO introduces the K13 Turbo Series -- a new benchmark in the mid-premium performance segment. The series features two distinct smartphones: the OPPO K13 Turbo Pro, tailored for performance seekers and multi-taskers with power packed performance, and the OPPO K13 Turbo, designed for those who seek a balance of powerful performance and all-round productivity. Flagship Performance Meets Future-Ready Intelligence The OPPO K13 Turbo Series introduces two powerhouse variants built to redefine performance in the mid-premium segment: the K13 Turbo Pro and the K13 Turbo. Designed for next-gen gaming and multitasking, both smartphones are powered by advanced 4nm chipsets--Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 and MediaTek Dimensity 8450, respectively--offering exceptional power efficiency, enhanced CPU and GPU performance, and reliable thermal management even under prolonged usage. The K13 Turbo Pro, equipped with the flagship-grade Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, delivers a 31% boost in CPU and a 49% improvement in GPU performance compared to the previous generation. This is made possible by a newly designed Adreno GPU with advanced sliced architecture--similar to what's found in the Snapdragon 8 Elite. Whether it's marathon gaming sessions, running high-performance apps, or multitasking with livestreams and social feeds, the K13 Turbo Pro ensures faster app launches, smooth frame delivery, and longer battery life without compromising responsiveness. The chipset also brings advanced on-device intelligence with a next-gen NPU optimised for low-power AI tasks and full support for Gemini AI capabilities, including real-time text summarisation, image understanding, and intelligent suggestions--all while preserving user privacy. The K13 Turbo Pro is future-ready with support for Wi-Fi 7, 5G peak speeds up to 4.2Gbps, and Bluetooth 6.0, ensuring fast and stable connectivity. Thanks to on-device GenAI integration, the device intelligently adapts to user behaviour with smart scene recognition, lag-free voice commands, and game-specific battery optimisations--offering a seamless and private AI experience without reliance on the cloud. Meanwhile, the K13 Turbo, powered by the high-performance MediaTek Dimensity 8450, takes a significant architectural leap forward. Its All-Big Core Architecture and larger L3 caches deliver up to 41% improvement in multi-core performance while consuming 40% less power than its predecessor, the Dimensity 8350. It is paired with the powerful ARM G720 MC7 GPU, delivering 25% higher peak graphics performance and sustained high FPS even under intense loads. Adding to its intelligence, the Dimensity 8450 integrates the upgraded NPU 880 for 40% better AI efficiency--enabling features such as real-time voice recognition, scene optimisation, and system-wide smart enhancements. This combination ensures that the K13 Turbo isn't just built for gaming--it's optimised for all-round productivity and AI-powered user experiences. Together, the K13 Turbo Pro and K13 Turbo represent the perfect blend of flagship-grade performance and future-ready intelligence, tailored to meet the needs of power users, gamers, and digital multitaskers alike. More Stable Frame Rate in Long-Term Gaming For mobile gamers, raw processing power is only part of the equation--the true mark of a performance smartphone lies in how well it can sustain that power over time. Issues like thermal throttling, overheating, and device slowdown can seriously impact extended gaming sessions. That's why the OPPO K13 Turbo Series goes beyond speed, introducing an industry-first active + passive cooling system in its segment, designed to deliver long-lasting, lag-free gameplay. At the heart of this system is Storm Engine, OPPO's custom gaming optimisation platform, paired with a powerful cooling "exhaust" fan and a large vapour chamber. This intelligent thermal architecture ensures stable frame rates and lower surface temperatures during marathon sessions, even under demanding conditions. Thanks to this advanced cooling setup, peak device temperatures were reduced by up to 2-4°C compared to rival smartphones--ensuring smoother, cooler, and uninterrupted performance under pressure. In internal lab tests, the K13 Turbo Pro consistently achieved the lowest overall temperature among competitors during a 3-hour gaming session at 25°C and 120 FPS. It also delivered higher sustained frame rates, outperforming even the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3--enabled by its next-gen GPU architecture. In a separate one-hour high-temperature gaming challenge conducted at 30°C, the K13 Turbo Pro recorded the highest average frame count in its class, firmly establishing its position as the top performer under real-world stress conditions. Super Frame, Super Clear, High Score With the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, the K13 Turbo Pro enhances gaming visuals using a Snapdragon enhanced Super Frame + Super Resolution pipeline that intelligently boosts frame rates and upscales graphics in real time -- all without requiring a separate display chip. The result: smoother motion and sharper details even in graphically demanding titles. Players benefit from: * Ultra-high frame rates for smoother motion and reduced lag. * Movie-grade HDR effects, bringing cinematic contrast and realism to supported games. * High-resolution rendering, improving in-game clarity by optimising the draw-call pipeline, especially beneficial in open-world or FPS environments. Not Afraid of Heavy Gaming Loads OPPO K13 Turbo Series is not afraid of heavy gaming loads. It brings gamers the highest sustained performance, lowest thermal rise, and highest frame count -- up to 120FPS -- among devices in its class, even under prolonged usage. This is made possible with active and passive cooling systems that comprise a cooling "exhaust" fan, a large vapour chamber, and a 7-layer graphite cooling system. This smart thermal system ensures minimal heat buildup and efficient dissipation, resulting in the lowest temperature difference between hands (just 1.2°C) -- far lower than competing products at the same level. This allows for ergonomic comfort during extended gameplay, without the usual heat spots. So, whether you are playing back-to-back matches, pushing frame rates in Genshin Impact, or multitasking with livestreams and background downloads, the device remains cool, responsive, and ready to deliver smooth 120Hz performance. Pro-Touch Optimisation for Elite Gameplay The K13 Turbo Series does not just excel in power -- it delivers a flagship-grade touch control ecosystem fine-tuned for competitive gaming. At its core is the Synopsys 3910P flagship touch IC, ensuring low-latency, high-precision responsiveness during intense multi-finger operations. Whether you are fine-tuning Aim Down Sight (ADS) scopes in BGMI, Gaming Hot Zones optimisation eliminates jitter and ensures touch accuracy through game-specific calibration. The Screen Protector Detection helps adjusts sensitivity to boost click accuracy to over 95%. Meanwhile, Splash Touch keeps controls responsive despite sweaty hands or droplets that is essential for long sessions. For gamers who use finger sleeves or accessories, Glove Mode ensures ultra-precise touch response--even with materials up to 5mm thick. Whether you're gaming outdoors or in colder environments, the screen is engineered to flawlessly register every tap, swipe, and flick without compromising accuracy. Immersive Gaming Ecosystem To elevate the overall gaming experience, the OPPO K13 Turbo Series comes equipped with Dual Stereo Speakers, OReality Audio that delivers a more spatial and realistic sound experience, allowing players to hear directional cues, footsteps, and in-game action with greater clarity and depth, enhancing both immersion and competitive advantage. OPPO's Game Assistant unlocks pro-level features like: * One-Tap Replay lets you instantly capture clutch moments, whether it's a last-second grenade kill or an ace round and share them with your squad, all without interrupting your gameplay. * Silent Launch helps you sneak into games during meetings, late-night sessions, or lectures by disabling launch animations, sounds, and pop-ups which is perfect for a quick match without drawing attention. * Footstep Enhancer, powered by OPPO's proprietary low-latency audio algorithms, activates when gamers are using headphones and amplifies spatial audio cues -- helping you detect enemy movement or pinpoint gunfire direction in FPS titles like CODM, and BGMI, giving you a critical edge in ranked matches. Game Without Limits With the OPPO K13 Turbo Series, users no longer have to choose between power, thermal control, and immersive gameplay. This series offers India's only smartphone with an integrated cooling fan, a future-ready gaming experience, and real-world sustained performance that rivals flagship processors, redefining what gamers should expect in 2025.

Be it watching content or working, it's all sorted here. The cover display is wide enough to be used for everything, but you will find yourself opening the main display specifically for multitasking or watching content. We particularly found it useful while recommend getting a case for the device that has a built-in stand, allowing you to prop the phone up for a comfortable viewing Vivo X Fold 5 runs on Android 15 with Vivo's custom skin, Funtouch OS 15, on top for the global version.

While this falls short of some competitors' seven-year pledges, it still ensures the X Fold 5 will remain secure and up-to-date for a significant Vivo X Fold 5 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, paired with a generous 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. For the vast majority of users, this configuration delivers top-notch performance that is more than sufficient for everything from demanding games to intensive multitasking. The device is not underpowered by any standard and feels incredibly fast and responsive in day-to-day given its foldable form factor, comparisons with devices like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 are inevitable. While the X Fold 5 is a flagship in its own right, it doesn't come with the very latest generation "flagship" chip, and this becomes evident in benchmark is a quick look at how the two devices compare in a few key benchmarks:As the numbers show, the Vivo X Fold 5's benchmark scores fall short of the Z Fold7's. While this doesn't impact real-world performance for most tasks, it's an important consideration for enthusiasts who demand the absolute highest device, however, bounces back with a significant advantage in the battery department. It packs a larger 6,000 mAh battery (compared to the Z Fold7's 4,600 mAh), and its charging is considerably faster, supporting 80W wired charging and 50W wireless charging, far exceeding the Z Fold7's 25W wired and 15W wireless Vivo X Fold 5 features an impressive camera system co-engineered with ZEISS.

The foldable form factor offers unique creative possibilities for videography. For example, the phone can be propped up in a "tent" or "waist-level" mode, eliminating the need for a tripod and giving users a sense of self-reliance while of the most useful features is the ability to use the cover display as a large external viewfinder. This allows you to frame high-quality selfies or group photos using the powerful rear cameras instead of the less capable front-facing shooters. Speaking of which, the device comes with a 32MP selfie camera for each screen. The performance of these front cameras is generally good in daylight, but details can become softer and colors less vibrant in indoor or low-light conditions. Despite this, the option to use the main rear cameras for selfies provides a significant Vivo X Fold 5 delivers a near-complete foldable experience at a significantly lower price point, making it one of the most compelling entry points into the foldable segment today. With its slim design, class-leading displays, premium build quality, improved hinge durability, powerful camera system co-engineered with ZEISS, and blazing-fast 120W charging, it covers nearly all bases without major the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 edges ahead in raw power and benchmark scores, the X Fold 5 offers exceptional real-world performance that's more than adequate for everyday and even demanding tasks.
