Another high-end compact smartphone has made its way to the global market. This time around, the OnePlus 13s is getting a new competitor with the Vivo X200 FE.

The device has just debuted in Taiwan, with its design, specs, and features finally being confirmed. The Chinese tech giant has managed to jam-pack a bunch of great hardware in a relatively small form factor.

So here’s everything you need to know.

Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 Pro might be getting a much-needed upgrade in the cooling department.

According to recent leaks, Apple is planning to add a vapor chamber cooling system — a thermal solution all Android flagships and even most mid-range phones have been using for years — to help handle the growing demands of gaming, AI, and similar resource-intensive tasks.

Apple‘s MagSafe technology has been a staple for its iPhones. However, the Qi2 standard that supports magnetic wireless charging is still a rarity on Androids.

Oppo and OnePlus took advantage of certain cases to launch some magnetic accessories in the recent past, but a fresh report claims that the next-gen smartphones might feature this technology without needing a special protective cover.

Xiaomi is preparing for a major product event on June 26 in China, and among the expected announcements is the Mix Flip 2, the company’s second-generation flip-style foldable.

This year, Xiaomi’s strategy around foldables appears more focused. The Mix Flip 2 is currently slated to be the only foldable phone from the company in 2025, with no Mix Fold 5 in sight. That alone makes it a bigger deal than it might have been otherwise.

Samsung is ready to unveil its next-generation foldables, and the date is set!

A Brooklyn event promises to showcase the sleek Galaxy Z Fold7 and Flip7, alongside new smartwatches and more.

Samsung has officially announced its Galaxy Unpacked event for July 9 in Brooklyn, New York, at 10 am ET, confirming rumors of an early July launch.
