The new vivo T4 Ultra packs a 3x periscope and Dimensity 9300+ chipset
vivo is adding an Ultra member to the T4 series – what does this phone have to earn this moniker? Well, a telephoto camera for one (the first telemacro in the segment, vivo says) and a surprisingly high-end chipset.
vivo T4 Ultra
The vivo T4 Ultra is powered by the Dimensity 9300+, which was used in the likes of last year's vivo X100s Pro – one of the top phones from vivo in 2024. The T4 Ultra doesn't have X100s-class cameras, but it certainly has its siblings beat – the T4x from March is powered by a Dimensity 7300 and the T4 from April has a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3. Both feature 50MP main cameras with small sensors (and OIS on the T4) plus 2MP helper cameras.
The Ultra packs a 50MP Sony IMX921-based main camera (a 1/1.56' sensor seen in the X200s among others). This is behind an f/1.88 lens with OIS.
The star of the show is the 50MP periscope with 3x magnification (f/2.55 lens with OIS) and an IMX882 sensor (1/1.95'). This has a 10x telephoto macro mode and OIS+EIS stabilization for video. Finally, there is an 8MP ultra-wide camera and an Aura Light. The selfie camera is a 32MP unit (f/2.45).
The T4 Ultra has the smallest display in the series with a 6.67' diagonal, but it's the best panel yet – a quad-curved 1260p+ OLED with 10-bit colors and 120Hz refresh rate. It can reach up to 5,000 nits peak local brightness, peak global brightness is 1,600 nits. There is an under-display fingerprint reader of the optical variety.
The T4 features a massive 7,300mAh battery, the T4x is a step down at 6,500mAh on the T4. The Ultra has the smallest battery in the family with only 5,500mAh capacity. Well, 'only'. That is paired with fast 90W charging, but the same is true of the T4 too.
On the plus side, the Ultra is thinner and lighter at 7.43mm and 192g (193g for the Phoenix Gold variant), compared to 8.1mm and 204g on the T4x. And the Ultra has a heavier glass back too, not plastic. However, ingress protection is still middle of the road with an IP64 rating.
The Ultra is available in three configurations: 8/256GB, 12/256GB and 12/512GB. This is with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. The Dimensity 9300+ is cooled by a 43.62cm² vapor chamber. The phone launches with FuntouchOS 15 (Android 15) and will receive 2 OS updates and a total of 3 years of security patches.

Poco F7 runs Geekbench with Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset
The Poco F7 Pro and F7 Ultra use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Snapdragon 8 Elite, respectively. The vanilla model is coming later this month and it will be equipped with another 8-series chip, the new Snapdragon 8s Gen 4. This can be seen in this Geekbench 6.4.0 scorecard from the Xiaomi 25053PC47G. Focus specifically on the CPU core clock speeds and the GPU, Adreno 825 – the 8s Gen 4 is the only chip with that GPU so far. Poco F7 (25053PC47G) on Geekbench 6.4.0 The first Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 powered phones are already out. This includes the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro, which will be the basis for the vanilla F7. The Redmi has a 6.83' 120Hz 12-bit display, a 50+8MP dual camera and a 7,550mAh battery with 90W wired charging. This phone has 12/16GB of RAM and between 256GB and 1TB storage. Going back to Geekbench, the Poco F7 unit that was tested has 12GB of RAM. Himanshu Tandon, who leads Poco India, posted a poll on June 10 asking 'What should be the ideal starting variant for a powerful device with a flagship level chipset?' The result was overwhelmingly in favor of 12GB. Poco exec hinting at 12GB base RAM capacity The Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 is fabbed on TSMC's 4nm node (N4P). Like previous 8s chips, this one uses ARM Cortex-based Kryo cores instead of the new Oryon cores seen in 8 Elite and X chips. That's one Cortex-X4 core at 3.2GHz, three A720 cores at 3.0GHz, two A720 at 2.8GHz and two A720 at 2.0GHz. There are no A5xx series cores. Source | Via

iOS 26 finally lets you snooze like a civilized human
iOS 26 is bringing a sweet little tweak that adds a big (and welcome) improvement to your quality of life. iOS 26 is a big update. Its new Liquid Glass design is fancy, and there are plenty of features sprinkled across the OS. Hidden beneath is one little feature, one small improvement, that is set to bring revolution and a whole new lifestyle: and yep, I'm talking about the alarm's 'Snooze' option. iOS 26 ends the authoritarian regime of the 9-minute Snooze option and brings you the ability to customize your alarm snooze intervals. Yes, Liquid Glass is gorgeous, and yes, charging estimates are important, but setting a custom snooze interval is transformative... for your morning routine. The update allows you to set snooze duration from anywhere from 1 to 15 minutes. The new feature is accessible when you tap any alarm and then tap the number next to "Snooze Duration" in the options. Yep, this little change may be trivial, but people are different and may have different, well, snoozing needs. For example, some people may just need a 2-minute break to get their eyes all ready for opening for the day, while others may need more time to fully wake up. The fixed 9-minute interval is a relic from mechanical alarm clocks and, well, it doesn't make too much sense on a modern smartphone. This snooze intervals option is exactly what you didn't know you needed. | Image Credit – MacRumors With iOS 26 , there are plenty of similar small tweaks across the user interface that make for a serious quality-of-life improvement. The Weather app is now getting critical weather alerts for predicted travel destinations, you can also now report voicemails as spam, and Apple Wallet will be able to track all your orders with the help of AI, just to name a few. Right now, iOS 26 is available for beta testing by developers. The public will get to beta test the OS next month, while the official, stable version will arrive in the fall alongside the iPhone 17 series.
