Sony Xperia 1 VII gets disassembled on video
Sony unveiled its latest flagship smartphone, the Xperia 1 VII, last month, and it's already available to purchase in some markets. If you've been wondering what it looks like on the inside, Chinese YouTube channel WekiHome has you covered - it published a comprehensive teardown and reassembly video, which you can find embedded below. Note that the video is obviously in Chinese, but YouTube's auto-translated closed captions do a great job, as always - just hit the CC button in the player and then make sure you get the auto-translation by using the Settings cog.

The Xperia 1 VII has that quintessentially Sony design that's unmistakable and very different from any of its competitors'. That said, it's not exactly identical to its predecessor, with a variety of small details having been tweaked. Sony isn't willing to let go of its unique design, but is constantly working on improving it.
As in most cases, the disassembly starts from the rear panel. As a first, the Xperia 1 VII has two ambient light sensors, one of which is on the rear. This should make auto-brightness better react to changes in ambient lighting that are happening behind the phone.
The RAM is provided by Samsung, the storage by Hynix, and the big new ultrawide camera is clearly different from its predecessor. The speakers and vibration motor seem to be very similar to those in the Xperia 1 VI, and the mic hole has an L-shaped design to avoid being destroyed by accidental use of a SIM removal tool - even though, ironically, the Xperia 1 VII doesn't need one as it features Sony's trademark tool-less SIM tray. The battery is not only identical in capacity to the Xperia 1 VI's, it's actually the exact same model. The screen is made by Samsung.

The next Fan Edition smartphone is not coming from Samsung
Vivo X200 FE has the same specs as the S30 Pro Mini | Image credit: Samsung has found a way to make its 'flagship killers' stand out by attaching a special 'Fan Edition' tag to their names. These phones are slightly dumbed down versions of the company's popular flagships and are meant to offer a similar premium experience to those who can't afford Samsung's top-tier seems to have learned the lesson and decided to launch its own 'FE' version of a flagship, the X200 FE. This is the same phone that Vivo launches in China as S30 Pro Mini, which is now being released worldwide. The X200 FE will be initially introduced in Taiwan on June 23, followed by a wider global rollout starting on June 30. A new report claims the phone will be available in four colors: Black, Blue, Pink, and Yellow. European customers will be able to pick this one up for no less than €850, which seems a bit pricy for a 'flagship killer.' Since this has already been released in China, we know everything there is to know about its specs. For starters, the X200 FE is equipped with MediaTek's Dimensity 9300+ chipset, which made its debut about a year ago. Vivo's high-end phone packs 12GB RAM and 512GB internal storage. The large 6,500 mAh battery supports 90W wired charging speeds. There are three cameras on the back side: 50-megapixel main, 50-megapixel telephoto, and 8-megapixel ultra-wide. Also, the X200 FE features a 50-megapixel selfie camera on the front side. Vivo X200 FE is a lot more expensive than its Chinese counterpart | Image credit: The X200 FE is a rather compact smartphone, which is why it sports a 6.31-inch AMOLED display with 1216 x 2640 pixels resolution, and 1-120Hz dynamic refresh rate. Other highlights of the phone include Android 15, IP68/IP69 ratings, under display fingerprint sensor, and stereo speakers. Vivo X200 FE lacks microSD card support, so you'll be stuck with the default storage. On paper, Vivo X200 FE is a pretty decent high-end smartphone, but the price might remove it from everyone's wishlists. Just for reference, the cheapest version of S30 Pro Mini was priced to sell for 3,500 yuan ($485/€420) in China, so an €850 retail price in Europe might kill it on arrival.

A brand-new Lenovo tablet is available in the US for the most cash-strapped Android fans
Just in case it wasn't hard enough to differentiate between the Lenovo Tab, Tab M8 Gen 4, Tab M9, Tab M11, and Tab Plus, the company is likely to further increase your confusion with the commercial release of the Lenovo Tab One. This is an ultra-affordable Android model that recently saw daylight in a number of Asian markets with little to no fanfare, expanding to the US in similarly discreet fashion at a seemingly unbeatable price of $129.99. But while the "regular" Lenovo Tab normally costs a comparatively higher $199.99, you might find it difficult to justify a Tab One purchase right now when you consider a few key factors. Wi-Fi Only, 64GB Storage, 4GB RAM, MediaTek Helio G85 Processor, 8.7-Inch IPS Touchscreen with 1340 x 800 Pixel Resolution, Android 14, Guaranteed Android 15 Update, 8MP Rear-Facing Camera, 2MP Front-Facing Camera, Dual Speakers with Dolby Atmos Technology, 5,100mAh Battery, 15W Charging Support, 3.5mm Headphone Jack, Luna Grey Color Buy at Lenovo For starters, the aforementioned 10.1-inch Lenovo Tab is temporarily marked down at the time of this writing from $199.99 to $159.99, which makes it only 30 bucks costlier than the 8.7-inch Lenovo Tab One. The smaller and newer device unfortunately packs just half of its big brother's 128 gigs of internal storage space, and that 8.7-inch IPS screen is also equipped with an unremarkable resolution of 1340 x 800 pixels. The Lenovo Tab and Lenovo Tab One do share the same 4GB RAM count and octa-core MediaTek Helio G85 processor, but the slightly pricier model holds another potentially important advantage over the cheaper slate in a 5MP front-facing camera. That's right, the brand-new Lenovo Tab One is only capable of producing 2MP selfies, although its biggest weakness is likely the woeful software support. Believe it or not, this thing runs Android 14 out the box with a single major OS update guaranteed, which is simply unacceptable in this day and age at any price point. So is there any reason you should consider buying the Lenovo Tab One today? I can think of at least two, the first of which is obviously the $129.99 price tag. The second is a 5,100mAh battery with 15W charging support that may not sound impressive... until you realize it's identical with what the larger and sharper Lenovo Tab offers, thus guaranteeing significantly better running times between charges (at least in theory). Yes, the dirt-cheap Lenovo Tab One promises to deliver "up to" 12.5 hours of uninterrupted YouTube streaming, which is a pretty great number... that doesn't change the fact that a discount is probably needed to make this value proposition just right.
