Weekly poll results: the vivo X200 FE is a hit
Many still haven't made up their minds and are waiting for a review (ours is coming soon). It doesn't help that vivo hasn't confirmed the global pricing yet. That said, the majority of voters are showing strong interest towards the FE.
It will compete against the likes of the OnePlus 13s (but the X200 FE wins by default in Europe) and Xiaomi 15 (but that one is certainly the more expensive model). Only around 10% of voters think they can get better value with some other small flagship.
That is not to say that the vivo X200 FE didn't have its critics. The 8MP ultra-wide is a letdown for some (the vivo X200 Pro mini has a 50MP UW sensor) as was the USB 2.0 port.
The proper launch of the vivo X200 FE (and X Fold5) is scheduled for July 14 for India, so stay tuned for pricing info.

Deals: the Poco F7, F7 Pro and F7 Ultra are on sale
Xiaomi's site in the Netherlands still offers Early Bird discounts on the Poco F7. After adding it to the cart, the price falls to €384 thanks to a €15 discount. You can find it here – it comes with a free 120W charger, free Xiaomi Smart Band 10 and a choice between a free Xiaomi Sound Outdoor 30W Bluetooth speaker or Redmi Buds 5 Pro. Amazon sells it at a slightly lower price, although without the freebies. The Poco F7 is powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 – the same chipset used in the Nothing Phone (3), which will become available soon. The F7 has a bigger 6.83' OLED display and a higher capacity 6,500mAh battery. Its cameras are fairly basic, however, with a 50MP main (1/1.95') and 8MP ultra-wide. Of course, the Nothing starts at €800 – double the price of the F7. We will talk about Nothing more in the coming weeks, but the Poco F7 Ultra is a more direct competitor – and can be had for as little as €640. It is powered by the flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and a 5,300mAh battery with 120W wired and 50W wireless charging. The camera setup includes a 50MP main (1/1.55'), 50MP 2.5x/60mm telephoto (1/2.76') and a 32MP ultra-wide. The middle ground is the Poco F7 Pro. That one also has a faster chipset – the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 beats the 8s Gen 4 by a small margin – and a sharper 1440p+ display (the Nothing Phone (3) has a 1260p+ panel). The 6,000mAh battery is bigger, but it only offers 90W wired charging. And the camera is similar to that of the vanilla F7, save for the bigger sensor in the main (50MP 1/1.55'). The Poco X7 Pro is part of the more affordable series, but its Dimensity 8400 Ultra performs close to the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4. Again, you're looking at pretty basic cameras (50MP 1/1.95' main, 8MP ultra-wide) and a large battery (6,000mAh, 90W wired-only charging). We may get a commission from qualifying sales.

Sony stops selling the Xperia 1 VII to fix some issues
Vlad, 04 July 2025 Sony unveiled the Xperia 1 VII, its latest flagship smartphone, in May, and it's already been available in Japan for a while now. However, today the company has announced that it's temporarily suspending shipments and sales of the device in its home market. This is due to many reports of Xperia 1 VII units turning off by themselves, randomly rebooting, and even not turning on. Obviously, any one of those three is a huge problem individually, but apparently all of them are currently happening in the wild. To those who have an Xperia 1 VII that won't turn on, Sony suggests holding both the power button and volume up button for about 20 seconds to recover it, and then applying the latest software update. If that doesn't help, then Sony is advising people to contact its support staff. Sony Xperia 1 VII 5G 256GB 12GB RAM £ 1,399.00 Detailed instructions for the software update procedure are provided at the Source linked below. Interestingly, while Sony implies that the latest update will fix the issues, it also, in the same page, says that it's still investigating what's causing them. So maybe the software update is more of a precautionary thing, and not an actual solution. We'll let you know how this situation develops. Thanks for the tip, Josip! Source (in Japanese)

Weekly poll: Nothing Phone (3), the good, the bad or the ugly?
Peter, 06 July 2025 After releasing the Nothing Phone (2) in 2023, Nothing took a year off from premium phones – but it promised a proper flagship for 2025. And, uh, here it is. The Nothing Phone (3) quickly became the talk of the town and not in a good way. Where should we start? The design is one of the more controversial aspects of the phone and it's hard to ignore. Nothing has built a reputation for out-of-the-box designs and the brand's style is instantly recognizable. However, this latest model – remember, it was two years in the making! – caused an avalanche of negative reactions. And that may not be the worst of it – let's look at the prices next. Nothing Phone (3) 12/256GB 16/512GB US $800 $900 UK £800 £900 EU €800 €900 India ₹80,000 ₹90,000 For context, a 12/256GB OnePlus 13 is $900/£900/€1,000/₹70,000 without any discounts. No, you're not reading it wrong, the OnePlus flagship has a lower MSRP in India than the Nothing phone. The Nothing Phone (3) has a non-LTPO 6.67' 120Hz OLED display and a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 instead of Elite. The triple 50MP camera has a large 1/1.3' main sensor, but the 3x periscope has a smaller sensor than the Phone (3a) Pro (1/2.75' vs. 1/1.95'). The battery is 5,150mAh in most of the world and 5,500mAh in India – in either case you are looking at 65W wired and 15W wireless charging. The dust and water resistance is the best of any Nothing phone so far but it's still only IP68. Those are not exactly flagship specs, are they? So far, Nothing phones have been better value for money than much of the competition, but the same can't be said of the Phone (3). How much does that dot matrix display on the back cost, anyway? The phone will receive 5 OS updates and 7 years of security patches. Nothing OS 4.0/Android 16 is coming 'later this autumn'. Check out our hands-on to learn more about the Nothing Phone (3). What do you think – will you buy the Nothing Phone (3) or are you looking at other models?
