vivo Vision launch event confirmed
The first Mixed Reality (MX) headset from vivo is launching on August 21. The brand confirmed the details via Weibo and shared some additional teasers ahead of the event.
The device will feature a similar design to Apple's Vision Pro with a metal construction and a visor housing the displays. We also get a glimpse at the digital crown element, which will be used for controlling the headset's opacity. We can also see the knit light seal and band around the back.
Hong Yi, General Manager of vivo Smart Device Products, shared a few additional details about the device. It will be as immersive and precise as the Apple Vision Pro, featuring true three-dimensional controls – likely hand gestures just like on Apple's headset. Yi also shared that vivo's headset will feature an ultra-lightweight design.
Sadly, the vivo Vision will not be a mass-market product right away. Instead, the headset will be available as an experience at vivo stores across China, allowing users to reserve and test the device and its spatial computing capabilities.

US could ban the import of the Chinese OLED BOE panels
Samsung filed a lawsuit against the Chinese panel maker BOE two years ago, suggesting the company stole trade secrets from the Korean tech giant. And it looks like the US ITC's (International Trade Commission) decision might lead to ban of the import of BOE panels into the US. According to sources familiar with the matter, the ITC has ruled to ban import of BOE's OLED panels into the US for the next 14 years and 8 months. The ruling isn't final, but the findings that BOE and its seven affiliates have violated the US Tariff Act by selling its panels through misappropriation of Samsung's trade secrets are substantial. The final verdict is due in November, but experts and analysts believe that the court will likely uphold the ban. If the ITC carries out the ban, this will give Samsung some breathing room, as in recent years, BOE has been contesting the Korean company's hegemony in the industry. BOE's OLED panels now match Samsung's in terms of quality and performance, while undercutting prices. Moreover, BOE supplies about 22.7% of the iPhones with its OLED panels, so if the decision to ban BOE's imports of OLED-related products becomes final in November, Apple will be forced to source more of its panels from Samsung and LG. Apple isn't the only US-based company that will suffer from such a trade ban. HP and Dell both use BOE panels for some of their products. Via

iPhone 17 Pro reiterated to start with 256GB storage
Michail, 13 August 2025 Ever since the iPhone 12 Pro, Apple has persistently offered the same 128GB baseline storage. According to a report from last week, the iPhone 17 Pro is about to change that by doubling up to 256GB this year, and the same source has now doubled down on his claims. iPhone 17 Pro dummy units Weibo user Instant Digital is confident that Apple will upgrade the base storage on its upcoming small iPhone Pro. The device is expected to get a $50 price hike as a result, which means it should start at $1,049. It remains to be seen if the price hike will be proportional in other regions. Source (in Chinese)

Forget Liquid Design, we need this super useful feature on the next iPhone
We often focus on flashy new features while overlooking smaller, more practical innovations that can genuinely improve our daily phone experience. Apple's new Liquid Glass design in iOS 26, for instance, feels like a visually impressive update that doesn't fundamentally change how we use our phones. It's a prime example of style over substance. I was reminded of this in my recent experience switching to Honor's Magic 7 Pro, where I found the opposite approach. The UI focuses on functional improvements rather than on flashy new effects. Quick reminder: Honor was created by Huawei in 2013 as a sub-brand focused on online-first sales. It catered to young buyers and value seekers, sharing the same software as Huawei, but differentiating on the hardware. When the US placed Huawei on its Entity List in May 2019, it lost access to Google Mobile Services (GMS). This affected sub-brands like Honor. Without the Google Play Store or Google apps, Honor phones were far less a year later, in November 2020, Huawei sold Honor to a consortium led by Shenzhen Zhixin New Information Technology Co., Ltd., backed by the Shenzhen government and private entities. This was the moment Honor became officially independent and free from the US sanctions. And in 2021, Honor phones were back on sale with the Google Play Store and full access to GMS. Since then, the concept of the company also changed. It's now releasing premium phones and while its software still looks very Huawei-like, it has some unique features. What really caught my attention was how folders work on Honor phones. Rather than having one small icon that you tap to open, you have a box you can freely expand with smaller icons inside. Sorry, your browser doesn't support embedded videos. This is a game-changer. The size of each icon is a bit smaller, so it's much easier to fit lots of icons in a small space, and still be able to easily tap them open, without having to first tap to expand the folder. What I've done with this is placing all of my Google apps in one folder, so I have like a dozen of Google services within easy reach. I previously had to search in the app drawer to find each one, and I just love this. It's a very elegant way to skip the extra step of opening a folder to find an app. It's disappointing to see the big names like Samsung and Apple work on some elaborate designs for their user interface without providing true customization options that could elevate your experience. These "super folders" are just one example, but far from the only one. Another very useful feature on Honor phones is a quick drag-and-drop tool for photos. When you long press an image, a sidebar of relevant apps appears, allowing you to easily drop the photo to Instagram and share it as an IG story. These types of quality-of-life upgrades seem to be a common focus on phones from Chinese brands, which often appear laser-focused on functional experience, not just visual appeal. I am not saying that the software of Honor phones is perfect (it's not), but there are so many great ideas across various UIs that just never make it to Samsung phones or iPhones. There is simply not enough pressure for these big companies to innovate faster, and that results in more or less the same software every year.
