Since it may have a similar offering to the Vivo V50, the V50 Elite Edition could feature a 6.77-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and provide brightness of up to 4500nits. The smartphone is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset paired with up to 12GB RAM. The Vivo V50 Elite Edition could feature a circular camera module, housing two camera sensors with a 50MP primary lens and an 8MP ultrawide lens. Lastly, the smartphone will likely be backed by a 6000mAh battery, which may support 80W fast charging.
Considering the pricing, the Vivo V50 was launched at a starting price of Rs.34999. However, the Vivo V50 Elite Edition is expected to be priced higher and may fall between Rs.40000 to Rs.45000 in India. Therefore, we will have to wait for the official launch to confirm.

If AI codes all software and even takes away factory jobs, Zoho's Sridhar Vembu says humans will still have no shortage of work
As artificial intelligence continues to advance rapidly, concerns about job loss and human relevance in an automated future have grown louder. Addressing these fears head-on, Zoho founder Sridhar Vembu recently shared his views on how society might evolve if AI takes over most or even all kinds of work. AI May Take Over Code, But Not Purpose In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Vembu presented a hypothetical future where all software development is fully automated and software engineers, like himself, are out of work. However, he stressed that we are 'nowhere close to that goal' right now. Even if AI systems reach a point where they can independently manage all coding tasks, he argued, it doesn't mean human beings will become obsolete. Vembu argued that the core issue wouldn't be the disappearance of work but how the economic benefits of automation are shared. He said the problem would shift from technological capability to political economy—how income and access to goods are redistributed. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why Cat Lovers Adore This Unique Lamp Graddi Read More Undo Two Possible Paths to a Fairer System According to Vembu, there are two key ways this dilemma could be resolved: Zero-Cost Goods: One scenario involves goods made by robots and AI becoming so cheap that their prices drop to zero, much like the air we breathe. In this world, essential services and products would be accessible to everyone without cost being a barrier. Higher Value for Human-Centric Jobs: The second possibility is that the remaining human roles — such as caring for children, nursing the sick, or restoring ecosystems — may gain higher economic value. These roles, Vembu said, could command greater purchasing power, especially if goods become ultra-affordable. He emphasized that these solutions require intervention, especially through anti-monopoly regulations. Without government efforts to break up tech monopolies, the cost savings from automation may not reach the general public. — svembu (@svembu) Public Reactions Reflect Hope, Concern, and Debate Vembu's comments sparked a wave of responses online. Some users agreed that AI might eventually replace most economic functions, while others warned of risks — including job loss, loss of skills, and monopolistic control of resources. One user pointed out that building and maintaining the robots themselves would still require engineers, energy, and infrastructure. Another suggested the need for an 'AI ombudsman' to oversee the direction AI development takes. Some questioned who would control these technologies, fearing they could become exclusive tools of the elite. The Future of Coding and Legacy Systems In a separate discussion, Vembu earlier questioned the continued relevance of older programming languages like C, JavaScript, and SQL. He argued that these tools, though widely used, might not suit the demands of the next century. Modern web development, he noted, is bogged down by the complexity of using multiple programming languages just to build simple interfaces. He suggested that AI could drive the transition away from these legacy systems by forcing the tech world to reimagine the fundamental principles of computing. Far from making engineers redundant, this shift may redefine their work, pushing them toward innovation rather than maintenance.

Musk-Trump feud puts Washington power couple Millers in the spotlight
Just before Elon Musk's very public clash with Donald Trump erupted on social media, a quieter rift was already taking shape — this one between Musk and one of Washington's most powerful couples, Stephen and Katie Miller. read more Before Elon Musk and Donald Trump's high-profile clash on social media reached a breaking point, another split quietly unfolded- this time involving Musk and one of Washington's most influential power couples: Stephen and Katie Miller. Stephen Miller, a key figure in Donald Trump's inner circle and deputy chief of staff at the White House, where his wife Katie Miller, previously served as Elon Musk's spokesperson. But after Musk stepped back from his association with DOGE, Katie chose to dedicate herself fully to working with Musk. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD That decision has taken on heightened significance in the aftermath of Thursday's highly publicised falling-out between Musk and Trump, a feud that rocked political circles and business spheres alike. As the two titans exchanged increasingly aggressive blows on social media including Musk suggesting Trump could be impeached and replaced by Vice President JD Vance and Trump retaliating with threats to sever federal contracts tied to Musk's businesses, the Millers found themselves awkwardly positioned on opposite sides of the divide. Katie Miller, who was in Texas last week accompanying Musk during a series of interviews with science and space journalists following SpaceX's ninth Starship test flight, has been openly supportive of Musk online. Her profile on X (formerly Twitter) now features a SpaceX rocket in the header and includes a brief description: 'wife of @stephenm.' Her posts frequently highlight Musk's achievements, and on Friday, her only public comment was a humorous reply to a meme of her husband edited to appear as a Home Depot employee, referencing immigration raids. According to one former colleague, the situation may soon force a decision. 'She can't align with both Elon and Trump — eventually, she'll have to choose,' the person told CNN. Musk, for his part, unfollowed Stephen Miller on X amid the fallout on Thursday. However, both Stephen and Katie continued following Musk on Friday. The implications for Stephen Miller's future in Trump's Washington remain uncertain. While some insiders suggest his influence could take a hit, especially if Katie's ties to Musk are perceived as a conflict of interest, others downplay the issue. Among Trump's advisers, Miller remains second only to Chief of Staff Susie Wiles in terms of clout. Some even speculate that Miller could be next in line should Wiles exit her role. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Still, one senior official acknowledged the potential complications: 'This whole situation makes things messier. The fact that Katie is on Musk's payroll doesn't help Stephen.' But others within the administration insist the President remains firmly supportive. 'Trump trusts Stephen more than almost anyone,' another top White House official told CNN. 'Katie's job with Musk has nothing to do with Stephen or his standing.' The broader Musk-Trump rupture triggered immediate market tremors, with Tesla's stock sliding 14% on Thursday before regaining ground the following day. Meanwhile, the fallout has created unease among Republican lawmakers working to push through a major spending package facing stiff resistance from Democrats and some conservative holdouts. Beyond the political drama, the consequences of this rift could reshape both men's futures. For Trump, severing ties with Musk risks alienating tech donors, social media followers, and younger male voters — key demographics that have been increasingly drawn to Musk's brand. This split may also complicate fundraising efforts ahead of the midterm elections. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD For Musk, the risks are more tangible. Losing Trump's favour could invite closer scrutiny of his companies' government contracts, heighten regulatory pressure, and potentially imperil the financial health of his ventures. As the dust settles, all eyes remain on how both camps and the Millers caught in the middle handle the fallout from one of the most high-profile political business breakups in recent memory.
