This new flagship killer with huge battery is a great alternative to any Galaxy S25 model
What makes the Vivo X200 FE a flagship killer is the fact that it comes with a huge battery and a decent chipset that might not be as powerful as Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite but still provides enough of that flagship experience one would expect for a reduced price. The X200 FE is a compact phone that competes with flagships like Samsung Galaxy S25 and OnePlus 13s, at least when it comes to size. As mentioned earlier, Vivo's new smartphone doesn't use a Qualcomm chipset, or at least one that's been introduced this year.Vivo and MediaTek seem to have a very productive relationship, as the Chinese company's most smartphones are using these chipsets. The new Vivo X200 FE is powered by MediaTek Dimensity 9300+, a top-tier chip that was launched about a year ago. Another selling point of the X200 FE is the massive 6,500 mAh battery, which supports 90W wired charging speeds. According to Vivo, this huge battery should last you for over 25 hours of video playback or up to 9.5 hours of gaming. More importantly, it takes a little bit less than 1 hour to fully charge the battery, which is crazy.
In comparison, Samsung's entire Galaxy S25 lineup comes with either 4,000 mAh or 5,000 mAh batteries, so a lot smaller than Vivo's newly unveiled X200 FE.
Vivo X200 FE comes in four different colors | Image credit: Vivo But that's not all! Vivo X200 FE features a powerful triple camera system that includes 50- and 8-megapixel cameras. It's also important to mention that Vivo is collaborating with Zeiss to make the optics for the X200 FE's triple camera.The 50-megapixel main camera features a Sony IMX921 sensor with f/1.88 aperture and optical image stabilization (OIS), while the 50-megapixel periscope camera has a 1/2-inch Sony IMX882 sensor with f/2.65 aperture. The third camera features an 8-megapixel ultra-wide sensor. Also, the X200 FE comes with a big 50-megapixel selfie snapper.Since this is a compact phone, the X200 FE sports a 6.31-inch AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution, 120 Hz refresh rate, and integrated fingerprint scanner. Just like many other flagships available on the market, Vivo X200 FE is IP68/IP69 rated for dust and water resistance.Vivo X200 FE comes in various storage/memory options (up to 12 GB RAM and 512 GB internal memory) and different colors (Black, Blue, Pink and Yellow). We have yet to learn when exactly it will hit shelves and, more importantly, how much it will cost. Secure your connection now at a bargain price!

Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic in for review
The Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic is the new middle ground in the Galaxy smartwatch series. It sits above the baseline Watch8 and borrows some features from the Galaxy Watch Ultra while still keeping its signature rotating bezel. There's nothing surprising inside the box, Samsung is giving you a magnetic wireless charging pad attached to a USB-C cable. Our review unit comes in Black, which has some contrasting stainless-steel elements, giving off a sharp and elegant look. It comes with the faux leather watch band, which is sadly proprietary, so you can't just swap out any old 20mm band like on the previous generations. Back to bezel. We definitely have a soft spot for physical control buttons and they just don't get better than a tactile knob like this. But there's more, Galaxy Watch8 Classic also borrows the Galaxy Watch Ultra's Quick button. It's remappable so you can assign it to all sorts of different features or shortcuts. Weirdly enough, the 46mm Watch8 Classic features a 1.32-inch AMOLED screen – the same size as the much smaller 40mm Galaxy Watch8. It's still protected by Sapphire Glass and maxes out at 3,000 nits which should be more than enough, even for bright outdoor use. Watch8 Classic gets the Exynos W1000 chip just like the vanilla and Ultra models, alongside 2GB RAM and 64GB storage. Samsung claims the 445mAh battery inside the Watch8 Classic should offer up to 40 hours with the Always-on Display (AoD) off and 30 hours with AoD on. We'll make sure to test these claims alongside the health and activity features in our detailed review. For now, you can check out our Galaxy Watch8 series hands-on for more coverage of Samsung's new smartwatches. Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic

Come on, Samsung! Don't give up on the tri-fold just yet
*Header image is referential and showcases the Huawei Mate XT. | Image credit — PhoneArena Galaxy Unpacked 2025 finally took place, and we got a look at the stunning Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Galaxy Z Flip 7, as well as the new FE model. However, contrary to multiple recent rumors, the company's tri-fold smartphone — dubbed the Galaxy G Fold — was missing from the first, I thought that this was just because it may not be ready to be shown off, but there might actually be another reason as well. A prototype display shown off in 2021. | Image credit — Samsung After a recent interview, it turns out that Samsung is unsure about the tri-fold. According to the interview, Samsung doesn't think that there's much demand for a tri-fold Galaxy foldable. Previous reports have claimed that this phone will initially see a very limited release in a select few countries, now we don't know if it will even make it out of those regions. Naturally, such a device couldn't have been expected to sell too well. It's a novelty phone, first and foremost, and it's unlikely to be all that practical either. But, I think we can all agree that the biggest reason it won't sell too many units is the price tag. A tri-foldable Samsung phone is not going to come cheap, much like its rival: the Huawei Mate XT. And yet, I think that there's a case to be made for the Galaxy G Fold. The Huawei Mate XT is the world's first commercially available tri-foldable phone. | Video credit — Huawei Until recently, I thought that foldable smartphones were a gimmick with no practical value whatsoever. My biggest issue with them was the crease, and in my anticipation for a foldable iPhone that eliminated that problem, I neglected the entire segment. Then the Galaxy Z Fold 7 came has leaped multiple generations and made a foldable smartphone that is a worthy rival to the Chinese foldables that I had been ignoring until now. It's stunningly slim, it's powerful, and most importantly of all, its crease is almost non-existent now. From writing them off as a fad, to actively wanting to daily drive one, Samsung singlehandedly made me look at foldables under a new light. If the company can do this, and if Huawei can sell the Mate XT, then the Galaxy G Fold has a decent enough market, in my opinion. And, even if it didn't, I'd say it's worth the investment. If Samsung is going to give us phones like the Galaxy S25 Edge, which is just innovation for innovation's sake, then it should go ahead with the G Fold too. The G Fold will likely not sell well until it's able to ship with a much lower price tag, but I think it's worth getting to that point. No one's buying a Huawei phone in the States after the Google ban, as painful as it is to admit, and the G Fold is the only chance that they'll have at a tri-fold worth getting. Lastly, Apple is currently working on multiple new iPhone models. There is the iPhone 17 Air, slated for release this year. We've also gotten multiple reports that the foldable iPhone may come out next year. Additionally, there will be a new 20th anniversary iPhone Pro model that will feature no cutouts or notches on its Galaxy G Fold will keep Samsung ahead of its largest rival by providing consumers with a device that they cannot get from Apple. Apple is late to the foldable market, and Samsung has the chance to leave it behind in another segment immediately. The Galaxy S25 Edge isn't selling well, but despite that, there are reports that there will be a Galaxy S26 Edge and no S26 Plus. In my opinion, there isn't a market for the Edge models either, not until they can use silicon batteries to provide better runtime. Samsung, if you're still insisting on the Edge despite that, then the G Fold also deserves a chance. Release it globally, then make a successor like Huawei is currently doing, and I think you'll find that there are enough people willing to get one to make it a profitable venture.

iPhone 17 colorways leak too
Vlad, 11 July 2025 Yesterday the upcoming iPhone 17 Air's colorways leaked, and today it's time for the 'vanilla' iPhone 17 to get the same treatment. And while it will be offered in more colors than its thinner cousin, unfortunately this leak doesn't come with full-on renders depicting each hue. We do however have what seem to be replacement camera rings for it, which showcase the five colors in which the iPhone 17 will allegedly arrive: blue, silver, black, green, and purple. The transparent ring isn't meant for a transparent iPhone 17, that's not happening, it's just another option for those who'd like the transparent look on their device. While these are said to be the iPhone 17's launch colors, it's possible that Apple may release an additional one or two down the line. For comparison, note that the iPhone 16 comes in black, white, pink, teal, and "Ultramarine". So it's still five colorways, just different ones (aside from black). The iPhone 17 will be by far the lowest-end of the four models launching in September, with the A19 non-Pro chip, and possibly stuck at 8GB of RAM like its predecessor despite all three other models coming with the A19 Pro and 12GB of RAM. It will however have one more camera compared to the iPhone 17 Air, and a bigger battery. Apple iPhone 16 128GB 8GB RAM € 779.00 € 779.00 256GB 8GB RAM € 923.00 Source (in Korean)
