Vivo X200 FE mobile launch in India soon, BIS certification listing spotted- What to expect
The Vivo X200 FE is on the verge of launching in India soon, following its appearance on key certification platforms. The device, believed to be a rebranded version of the Vivo S30 Pro Mini, set to launch in China on May 29, has been spotted on multiple regulatory sites, signalling its entry into several markets soon.
Recently, a device carrying the model number V2503 was listed on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) website. This model number matches the Vivo X200 FE, though the BIS listing does not reveal detailed specifications or additional information about the handset. Alongside this, the smartphone has also received certification from Singapore's Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), which indicates preparations for its launch in Southeast Asia. Earlier, the same model was recorded on Thailand's National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) website, which further confirms its release across the region.

From Smart TVs To Projectors: Rajya Sabha MPs To Get Modern Gadgets To Boost Efficiency
Last Updated: The decision was made in a meeting on May 23, where it was agreed to expand the list of eligible technology tools that MPs can purchase using their financial entitlements. Members of the Rajya Sabha will now get access to the latest digital tools, including smart TVs, projectors, wearables, and other advanced gadgets, aimed at enhancing their efficiency in official duties. The decision was made under the revised 'Scheme of Financial Entitlement of Members of Rajya Sabha for Computer Equipment', based on the 2008 Rules on Provision of Computer Equipment for MPs and officers. The decision was finalised in a meeting held on May 23, where it was agreed to expand the list of eligible technology tools that members can purchase using their financial entitlements. Under the scheme, Rajya Sabha MPs are eligible for financial support to procure IT equipment and software as follows: Rs 2,00,000 for members elected or nominated for a term exceeding three years. Rs 1,50,000 for members elected in a by-election for a term of three years or less. An additional Rs 1,00,000 is granted after three years in office, provided the remaining term is at least six months. MPs must submit original purchase bills to get reimbursed for the gadgets. The move is seen as part of a broader effort to modernise parliamentary functioning and equip lawmakers with tools to stay connected, informed, and digitally efficient. First Published:

Kindle Paperwhite 2025 review: More screen, more speed, same reading focus
Priced at Rs 16,999, the 12th generation Kindle Paperwhite retains its spot as the best go-to e-book reader, offering meaningful upgrades over its predecessors New Delhi Having used the 10th-generation Kindle Paperwhite in the past, the idea of more screen real estate for reading instantly piqued my interest. With the 12th-generation model, Amazon has turned that into reality, thanks to a larger 7-inch E Ink display. But the upgrade isn't limited to size alone—Amazon also claims improved contrast and up to 25 per cent better performance. The question is: do these changes actually translate into a better reading experience? I've been using the new Kindle Paperwhite for the past few weeks, and here is what I found. Kindle Paperwhite (12th generation): Reading experience The 12th-generation Kindle Paperwhite features a 7-inch E Ink Carta 1300 display with a pixel density of 300 PPI. The upgrade from the 6-inch screen on the previous model I used feels like a meaningful one—more words now fit on the screen at once, making for a more immersive reading session. Thankfully, the increase in size has not compromised comfort. The device remains lightweight and easy to use one-handed. The matte-textured back and rounded edges further enhance grip and handling. Amazon says this is the highest-contrast Kindle display yet, thanks to its oxide thin-film transistor tech. While reading standard e-books doesn't immediately highlight the contrast improvements, the difference becomes more noticeable when viewing PDFs with graphics or reading comics. Despite being a black-and-white panel, visuals appear sharper and it's easier to distinguish between different shades of grey. Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 12th generation (2025) For readers who prefer warmer tones during long sessions, the new Paperwhite includes an adjustable warm light. Accessible via a zero to 24 slider in the quick settings panel, this lets you tune the amber LED lighting to achieve a softer, more paper-like yellow hue. Personally, I prefer the crispness of the white tone, but having the option to fine-tune the warmth gives readers more flexibility. The Kindle Paperwhite also offers multiple levels of adjustable brightness. Even at its lowest setting, the display remains readable in dim conditions. For outdoor reading, the maximum brightness holds up well, ensuring comfortable use in sunlight. Kindle Paperwhite (12th generation): Performance and features While it's difficult to measure performance on a Kindle in traditional terms, Amazon's claim of a 25 per cent speed improvement does hold up in real-world use. The device feels noticeably snappier, with faster page turns and more responsive navigation in the Home and Library sections. The 12th-generation model also handles tasks like pulling down the quick settings panel and loading books more swiftly. Most of the hardware remains unchanged from the previous generation — including 16GB of onboard storage, 9W charging support via USB Type-C, and dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz). One small yet thoughtful tweak: the power button is now placed more centrally at the bottom, which greatly reduces accidental presses during one-handed use. All the best built-in features return, including quick access to the dictionary, Wikipedia, and translation tools. These additions genuinely enhance the reading experience — especially for first-time Kindle buyers. You can simply tap and hold any word in an e-book (or even in a manually added PDF) to bring up a floating menu that offers a definition, relevant Wikipedia entries, and instant translation to other languages. The Kindle Paperwhite also includes VoiceView — an accessibility feature designed for users with visual impairments. It provides spoken feedback as the user touches text on the screen. While the device doesn't have built-in speakers, audio is accessible through paired Bluetooth headphones or speakers. Additional customisation options include dark mode, support for multiple dictionaries, and the ability to switch between different language keyboards. As with past models, you can still sideload content if you prefer not to stay within the Kindle store ecosystem. The device supports content transfers through third-part Send-to-Kindle apps, email, or direct USB-C connection from a PC or smartphone — and sideloaded content shows up on the home screen immediately. That said, the software can sometimes feel restrictive, with aggressive book recommendations and a lack of broader functionality. A full-fledged web browser, for instance, would have been a welcome addition. Kindle Paperwhite (12th generation): Battery Battery life is easily one of the Kindle Paperwhite's strongest suits. After over a week of daily use, the battery level had only dropped to around 60 per cent. While the device doesn't support fast charging, it's hardly an issue — primarily because you don't need to charge it very often. When I eventually did plug it in, it took about an hour and a half to go from 43 per cent back to full charge. Kindle Paperwhite (12th generation): Verdict Priced at Rs 16,999, the 12th generation Kindle Paperwhite stands out as one of the best go-to e-book readers currently available — thanks to the robust Kindle ecosystem, a wide selection of books, and support for useful features and accessories. The ability to sideload content is a welcome bonus that adds to its flexibility. While the price might seem a bit steep for a device focused solely on reading, it's a fair trade-off for avid readers who want the freedom to carry their entire library without compromise. For those upgrading from older models, the 2025 edition is a worthwhile step up — particularly if you're coming from the 10th generation or earlier.

Meet India's Only Mid-Size SUV With Panoramic Sunroof Under Rs 12.5 Lakh - Its Not Creta, Seltos Or Grand Vitara
New Delhi: Hyundai Creta dominates the mid-size SUV segment, which includes models like the Maruti Grand Vitara, Kia Seltos, Honda Elevate, Skoda Kushaq, MG Astor, Volkswagen Taigun, and others. Among them, the MG Astor is the only SUV in this segment to offer both a large 10-inch infotainment display and a panoramic sunroof under Rs 12.5 lakh (ex-showroom), the JSW MG Motor India claims. In an official press release, JSW MG Motor India stated, "The MY2025 Astor 'Blockbuster SUV' is India's only 1.5-litre mid-size SUV to offer a large 10-inch infotainment display and a panoramic sunroof under Rs 12.5 lakh (ex-showroom)." It also added, "The MG Astor is also the only vehicle in the 1.5L Mid-SUV Automatic segment to offer a wireless charging feature under Rs 15 lakh, with its 'Sharp Pro' trim." While the Astor features a 10-inch infotainment display as standard across the lineup, the panoramic sunroof is available from the 'Shine' trim, priced at Rs 12,47,800 (ex-showroom). The full Astor range is priced between Rs 11,29,800 and Rs 17,55,800 (ex-showroom). Though it is among the most feature-rich SUVs in the segment, the Astor has struggled to gain traction and has failed to generate good sales volume so far. It offers over 50 safety features, 14 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) features, and more than 80 connected features. Key Features Include: 6-way power adjustable driver's seat Blind spot detection 360-degree surround view camera Tyre pressure monitoring system Lane change assist Personalised AI assistant Electric parking brake with auto hold 7-inch fully digital instrument cluster 17-inch dual-tone alloy wheels Automatic headlamps Front fog lamps with cornering assist LED taillamps Powertrain Options It gets two engine options: a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol unit producing 110 hp and 144 Nm, and a 1.3-litre, three-cylinder turbo-petrol engine generating 140 hp and 220 Nm. The 1.5-litre unit comes with a 5-speed manual or an 8-speed CVT automatic gearbox, while the 1.3-litre turbo engine is paired with a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission.
