vivo X200 FE review
The vivo X200 FE impresses right off the bat - it is indeed a colorful compact phone (8mm thin, 186g) with a 6.31-inch 120Hz 1216p AMOLED display, top-notch Dimensity 9300+ chip, and a massive 6,500 mAh battery promising over 25h of YouTube streaming or 10h of gaming (we'll see about that).
That's not all, though. Being a part of the X series means the X200 FE must have some impressive photography skills, and the specsheet doesn't disappoint - we're getting Zeiss-enhanced 50MP primary camera and 50MP 3x telephoto, an 8MP ultrawide unit, and a 50MP selfie shooter. Not quite Ultra-level specs, but pretty remarkable for the size.
Unlike the X200 Ultra, the vivo X200 FE is a global model that boots Android 15 with Funtouch 15. It's got an IP68/IP69 ingress protection rating, and, of course, you can choose between a handful of colorways - Blue Breeze, Yellow Glow, Pink Vibe, and Black Luxe. vivo X200 FE specs at a glance: Body: 150.8x71.8x8.0mm, 186g; Glass front, aluminum frame, glass back; IP68/IP69 dust tight and water resistant (high pressure water jets; immersible up to 1.5m for 30 min).

The specsheet is nothing short of impressive, given the size of the phone and its battery. Wireless charging would have been nice, or a larger sensor for the ultrawide camera, but even as is - it does look like an awesome package. Unboxing the vivo X200 FE
The vivo X200 FE arrives inside a large carboard box, which contains the phone, a 90W power adapter, and a USB-A-C cable.
The bundle also packs a color-matching protective case for extra security and extra grip.
Finally, there is also a pre-applied screen protector on the display, in case you need better scratch resistance.

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.

Smartphone batteries are finally getting the upgrades we deserve
Battery life still remains a nuisance in the smartphone industry for heavy users, even with newer phones that have denser and higher capacities packed in their chassis. Fortunately, it seems that smartphone batteries are finally about to get the upgrades that we all deserve. According to supply chain reports ( translated source ), the current state of dense silicon batteries isn't the limit, if companies play their cards right. By the end of this year, 7,000 mAh batteries will become a lot more common, and it's only going to go up from the next year and onward. Current silicon battery limits are forcing research teams to experiment with new materials and shapes. This is going to make it possible for standard phones to feature batteries even larger than 8,000 mAh. Using new shapes and steel shells ( for structural support ), it is quite likely that we're not too far off from a normal consumer-grade smartphone that has a 10,000 mAh battery. The new Honor Power already has a battery capacity of 8,000 mAh, and the Honor X70 will feature an 8,300 mAh battery while measuring in at only 7.7-7.9 mm. Honor Power comes with an 8,000 mAh battery. | Image credit — Honor It truly feels like silicon batteries have finally made significant advancements in battery capacities a reality. Now all that's left is for Samsung, Apple, and Google to adopt these new batteries into their flagship offerings are certain regulatory limitations due to which these companies haven't been able to keep pace with their Chinese rivals. However, Samsung and Apple are reportedly researching on these batteries at this time, and I'm hopeful that we'll see the fruits of their labor sooner rather than later. The newly released Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, while an absolutely stunning phone, does have the downside of using the same battery as the Galaxy Z Fold 6: a 4,400 mAh pack. While the Fold 7 battery is pretty good in other important aspects, I wouldn't mind seeing a bigger battery in the future. Fingers crossed that Samsung and Apple's ongoing research leads to silicon batteries with higher capacities but the same durability as their previous Li-ion batteries.

More details emerge about the iQOO 15
Vlad, 12 July 2025 Back in May we heard that the iQOO 15 would have a 6.85-inch QHD+ Samsung-made flat LIPO OLED screen, and today the same prolific leaker going by Digital Chat Station on Weibo is back with more details. The phone will have a 50 MP periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, something the iQOO 12 had but the iQOO 13 gave up on, sadly (it only had a non-periscope 2x optical zoom telephoto). iQOO 13 The iQOO 15 also has an in-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, vivo's self-developed independent display chip, as well as support for 100W wired charging. iQOO is apparently still deciding whether to include wireless charging as well, but it does seem to be leaning towards adding this feature according to DCS. Alongside the periscope, it was one of the few things missing from the iQOO 13 if one wanted to declare it a true all-out flagship device. Of course, the iQOO 15 is expected to be powered by Qualcomm's upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 SoC, due to be made official in September. vivo iQOO 12 256GB 12GB RAM ₹ 42,999 ₹ 42,999 512GB 16GB RAM ₹ 44,998 vivo iQOO 13 256GB 12GB RAM ₹ 54,998 ₹ 54,998 512GB 16GB RAM ₹ 59,998 Source (in Chinese)
