One notable upgrade is the display's peak brightness, which reaches 4,500 nits. This level of brightness will improve screen visibility even in bright outdoor conditions. The device also features full-brightness high-frequency PWM dimming as per the shared image. This, combined with TÜV Rheinland's Global Eye Protection 3.0 certification, aims to reduce eye strain during long usage sessions. Vivo has also partnered with Zeiss to tune the colour accuracy on both screens for precise and consistent colour output.

Furthermore, the image shared by Boxiao reveals a design change with the introduction of a new physical button on the left edge of the phone. This button replaces the alert slider found on the previous X Fold 3 models. Vivo has not yet confirmed the button's function, but it might offer programmable shortcuts or quick access to certain features.
Vivo has also confirmed the X Fold 5 will be lighter and thinner than its predecessor. It weighs 209 grams, which is less than the 219 grams of the X Fold 3 and the 236 grams of the X Fold 3 Pro. When unfolded, the phone measures 4.3mm in thickness, and when folded, it is 9.33mm thick. While these dimensions are slightly larger than those of the Oppo Find N5, the device still ranks among the slimmer and lighter foldable phones on the market.

Moreover, Vivo has stated that the X Fold 5 will offer strong durability. It can operate in cold temperatures down to minus 20 degrees Celsius and has IP5X dust resistance and IPX9 water resistance ratings.
Reports suggest that Vivo plans to launch the X Fold 5 in India, potentially on July 10, alongside the Vivo X200 FE. This would mark the first time the standard X Fold model becomes available in the Indian market, as earlier only the premium X Fold 3 Pro was sold there. The launch could expand foldable phone options for Indian consumers.

The tech tariffs arrive. Why 100% levies had 0% impact
The long-awaited—and feared—tech tariffs finally arrived this past week. And in a clear sign of the times, the market rallied despite the cloud of uncertainty that didn't clear. Standing in the Oval Office with Apple CEO Tim Cook on Wednesday afternoon, President Donald Trump announced what he says will be a new tariff of 'approximately 100% on chips and semiconductors." But 'if you're building in the United States or have committed to build, without question committed to build in the United States, there will be no charge. In other words, we're not going to be charging." Apple will be one of the recipients of this largess, and the stock rallied 3.2% on Thursday. The Philadelphia Semiconductor index, or SOX, was up 1.5% that day as investors tried to sort through what the president meant. But much remains uncertain. 'All we can do at this point is highlight some questions, rather than provide answers; we hope we will get more concrete details soon," Bernstein analyst Stacy Rasgon wrote to clients Thursday. 'Chips and semiconductors" is a phrase that has had an elastic definition since April. The SOX began the year down 28%, bottoming out on April 8, the beginning of worldwide tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which is being challenged in court. The IEEPA tariffs have been modified twice by the administration, most recently on Thursday, when tariffs ranging from 10% on imports from the United Kingdom to 41% for Syria went into effect. Goods that are already on the water will see the previous IEEPA tax of 10%. But in April, the White House exempted a range of tech goods, which the administration has referred to as 'semiconductors" but which also include finished goods like smartphones, PCs, and artificial-intelligence servers. In all, it is $386 billion worth of 2024 imports, 12% of the U.S. total. Chips were only $45 billion of that. For tech investors, though, IEEPA has been just the opening act, with everyone waiting for the White House to make a decision about how to tariff these tech goods that were being investigated under a national security authority known as Section 232. The outcome of that investigation was expected next week, but Trump seemed to have let the results out early with the '100%" announcement. The good news for Apple might be bad news for other tech companies, because Apple's stated exclusion from the Section 232 levies suggests the White House isn't just talking about chips; all of Apple's imports into the U.S. are finished products, not semiconductors. Still, Apple is facing a 20% tax on all its devices imported from China, with no tariffs from products coming from India or Vietnam. Apple paid $800 million in tariffs in its recently reported third quarter, increasing its cost-of-goods-sold for products by 1.9%. It has projected $1.1 billion in customs duties in the fourth quarter. Going forward, a lot hinges on the definition of 'committed to build in the United States." Apple seems to have met this mark, but who else will earn Trump's favor, and how much will it cost them? Are fixed investments required, or will other kinds of spending also count? Apple is counting its purchases from a U.S. Corning factory, so domestic cost-of-goods-sold seem to be part of the mix. From an onshoring perspective, all the exemptions could backfire once the math settles out. If Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing products are exempted from the semiconductor tariffs because it has 'committed to build" more chipmaking capacity in Arizona, its U.S. customers like Apple, Nvidia, and Advanced Micro Devices may begin to wonder why they're paying up for products from Arizona factories. AMD CEO Lisa Su recently said that the company will pay 5% to 20% more for the Arizona chips versus the same work in Taiwan. Trump's phrasing, 'committed to build," may also indicate that companies' existing investments in the U.S. may not count toward whatever is necessary to pass muster with the president. As with all of this, we await guidance from the White House. For companies that don't meet Trump's requests, their experience will vary from country to country because of deals that have been struck with the European Union, South Korea, and perhaps Japan. The EU, via a Trump executive order, is set to face a 15% tariff on semiconductors. Meanwhile, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick tweeted that South Korea would see a semiconductor tariff no worse than any other country, which, as of now, would be the EU's 15%. Japan's top trade negotiator, Ryosei Akazawa, said that Japan has a similar arrangement, but there is no confirmation from the U.S. side on that yet. The new uncertainty is underlined by the exemptions surrounding the most important tech good in the world: AI servers. For now, those products are exempted from IEEPA tariffs but not the new 100% Section 232 one. Nvidia, the designer of the most important AI servers, is likely to receive a company exemption from Section 232. The problem for Nvidia is that its servers are made by companies that may not be exempted from Section 232. So, where does that leave the products from the world's most valuable company? I have no idea. And neither does Wall Street. 'We make no changes to our estimates, ratings, or price targets at this time," Rasgon wrote Thursday. Write to Adam Levine at

India well-equipped to tackle evolving online harms, cyber crimes: Govt tells Parliament
New Delhi [India], August 9 (ANI): India's cyber legal framework, backed by the IT Act, BNS, and institutions like GAC, CERT-In, and I4C, is well-equipped to tackle evolving online harms and cyber crimes, said Union Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology Jitin Prasada in Rajya Sabha. MoS Prasada said on Friday that the Government is conscious of the threats posed by deepfakes powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI), including synthetic audio, video and text. Such content can seriously impact a person's dignity, reputation, and right to privacy. It also raises concerns about platform accountability, he added, according to the Ministry of Electronics & IT. The MoS informed that to combat the rising threat of deepfakes and ensure an open, safe, and accountable cyberspace, the Government of India has established a comprehensive legal and institutional framework. Several existing laws address various aspects of AI-generated harms, including the Information Technology Act, 2000 (IT Act), which criminalises identity theft, impersonation, privacy violations, and the circulation of obscene content. It also empowers authorities to issue blocking orders (Section 69A) and takedown notices (Section 79) to intermediaries. Complementing this are the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, updated in 2022 and 2023, which mandate digital platforms to exercise due diligence, prevent the hosting of unlawful content, and ensure accountability. The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) adds another layer by requiring data fiduciaries, including AI firms, to process personal data lawfully and with user consent. Deepfakes using personal data without consent can be penalised under this Act. Further, the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (BNS) addresses misinformation and organised cybercrimes through Sections 353 and 111. The Government has also issued advisories (in December 2023 and March 2024) directing intermediaries to remove impersonation and deepfake content, inform users about misleading content, and ensure timely compliance with the Grievance Appellate Committee (GAC) orders. Intermediaries are also advised to label AI-generated content when outputs are potentially unreliable. India's broader cyber ecosystem includes platforms like the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) and its SAHYOG Portal, which enable coordinated removal of unlawful content. Citizens can report incidents through the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal or by calling the helpline 1930. Additionally, CERT-In provides guidance on emerging AI threats, including deepfakes, and conducts public awareness campaigns through initiatives such as Cyber Jagrookta Diwas, National Cyber Security Awareness Month, and Safer Internet Day.

Nvidia gets green light: US clears chip exports to China; company avoids billion dollars hit after CEO's meeting with Trump
The United States Commerce Department has begun issuing licenses to Nvidia to export its H20 chips to China, a US official told Reuters on Friday, marking a major breakthrough for the AI giant's access to one of its most important markets. The move follows Washington's decision last month to reverse an April ban on sales of the H20 chip to China. Nvidia had designed the processor specifically to comply with Biden-era AI chip export rules. The restrictions were expected to wipe $8 billion off its July-quarter sales, the company had warned. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang met with US President Donald Trump on Wednesday, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters. In July, the company said it was applying for licenses to resume H20 sales and had been assured of speedy approvals. It remains unclear how many licenses have been granted, which Chinese companies can receive the chips, or the total value of approved shipments. Nvidia previously disclosed a $5.5 billion hit from the export curbs but later revised the figure down by $1 billion after reusing some materials. The H20 alone generated $4.6 billion in first-quarter sales, with China accounting for 12.5% of the company's overall revenue. The company has denied Chinese claims that the H20 poses national security risks, insisting the chip contains no 'backdoors' for remote access. 'Cybersecurity is critically important to us. NVIDIA does not have 'backdoors' in our chips that would give anyone a remote way to access or control them,' a Nvidia spokesperson earlier said in a statement. CNBC reported that China's Cyberspace Administration (CAC) has asked Nvidia to 'to clarify and submit relevant supporting documentation regarding security risks, including potential vulnerabilities and backdoors, associated with its H20 computing chips sold to China.' The regulator said Nvidia's AI chips have been reported to contain serious security flaws and noted that some US lawmakers are pushing for mandatory tracking features on advanced chip exports. Other high-end Nvidia AI chips remain barred from sale to China under longstanding US export controls aimed at slowing Beijing's AI and defense advancements. Huang has warned that Nvidia's industry leadership could be at risk without access to the Chinese market, where domestic rivals like Huawei are rapidly expanding their chip offerings.
