Vivo X200 FE and X Fold 5 are coming soon, likely to launch within a month
Vivo is expected to launch two new smartphones — the Vivo X200 FE and the Vivo X Fold 5 — in India this July, with the exact date rumoured to be July 10, as per tipster Sanju Choudhary, via an X (formerly Twitter) post. Of course, the company hasn't officially confirmed these details. However, leaks and recent certifications suggest that an announcement is just around the corner. The X200 FE has already appeared on India's BIS website, plus, both phones are said to bring top-tier features, new designs, and possibly more aggressive pricing in the case of the X Fold 5 foldable smartphone.advertisementStarting with the Vivo X200 FE, this could be a rebranded version of the S30 Pro Mini that launched in China last week. It's expected to feature a 6.31-inch flat OLED display with 1.5K resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, Vivo might use the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ or even the newer Dimensity 9400e chip. Either way, it should offer solid performance for casual and power users alike.On the camera front, the X200 FE is rumoured to include a 50-megapixel Sony IMX921 primary camera, a 50-megapixel Sony IMX882 telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 50-megapixel selfie camera. It's also said to pack a large 6,500mAh battery with 90W fast charging support. The phone could also feature an IP69 rating for dust and water resistance.advertisement
Meanwhile, the Vivo X Fold 5 aims to compete with the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold series in India. It's expected to come with an 8.03-inch AMOLED inner display and a 6.53-inch AMOLED LTPO outer screen — both with 120Hz refresh rates. The phone is rumoured to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, paired with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage.Read here - Vivo X Fold 3 Pro review: Exceptional camera, foldable screenIn terms of camera, the X Fold 5 is expected to pack dual 32-megapixel selfie cameras — one on the cover display and another on the inside. The rear camera module is rumoured to include a 50-megapixel Sony IMX921 primary sensor, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens with autofocus, and a 50-megapixel IMX882 periscope telephoto lens offering 3x optical zoom.Battery life should be strong, with a 6,000mAh battery, 90W wired charging, and 30W wireless support. Interestingly, despite the large battery, the phone could be one of the slimmest foldables yet — reportedly 4.3mm when open.What might make the X Fold 5 more appealing this time is the expected price drop. You see, the use of the same chipset as last year raises the possibility of a more aggressive price tag. For context, the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro was launched in India at Rs 1,59,999 for the sole 16GB RAM + 512GB storage variant. That said, whether Vivo go with aggressive pricing remains to be seen.

Apple teases major iOS redesign for WWDC 2025, tagline is Sleek Peek
Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2025 is set to take place from 9 to 13 June, and there's now a fresh new tagline to go with it — Sleek Peek. Greg Joswiak, SVP Marketing at Apple, posted on X (formerly Twitter), 'WWDC25 is next week! Can't wait to show you what we've been working on. See you June 9 at 10 am PT.' For those keeping track, there was an earlier tagline — On the horizon — which Apple initially used in its promotional material. The new tagline appears to reflect the company's focus on design, particularly the rumoured visual overhaul of iOS that's said to borrow heavily from visionOS — the operating system behind the Vision Pro headset — according to Bloomberg's Mark this year's WWDC might also see Apple rethink its entire software naming convention. Instead of calling the next iPhone operating system iOS 19, there's talk that Apple could rename it iOS 26 to align with the calendar year. This would bring uniformity across its platforms, which currently run on different version numbers — iOS 18, macOS 15, watchOS 11, and so on — making it harder to keep track. This potential renaming would mirror what Samsung did with its Galaxy S20 series in 2020, skipping from S10 to S20 to better match product names with the launch course, this shift raises a natural question — why jump to iOS 26 instead of iOS 25, given we're in 2025? That part remains unclear, and only Apple truly knows the reason. Regardless, it's clear that WWDC 2025 could mark a major turning point for the company, not just in terms of what's under the hood, but how the entire software ecosystem is presented and structured. A new visual language paired with a more intuitive naming system might just be the 2025: What to expectadvertisement This year's WWDC is expected to be less about adding flashy new features and more about transforming how Apple's software looks and feels. According to Bloomberg, Apple is preparing a large-scale redesign across iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS — a project internally codenamed Solarium. Drawing inspiration from visionOS, the updated interface is said to include rounded app icons, translucent elements, and softer design touches reminiscent of the major revamp last seen with iOS 7. As we already mentioned, the renaming to iOS 26, macOS 26, and so on is also likely, making version tracking simpler and more consistent across Apple's ecosystem. Beyond visuals, expect practical updates like easier Wi-Fi sharing, smarter battery tools, and a desktop mode for iPhones with USB-C, allowing them to mimic a PC setup. Gamers might see a new cross-platform app that builds on Game Centre, while developers could get new tools for integrating Apple Intelligence into third-party apps. And while hardware won't take centre stage, a new Mac Pro or a teaser of the rumoured iPhone 17 Air might still make a brief appearance.
