Latest report contradicts previous rumors about vivo V60's launch date and OS

GSM Arena22-07-2025
Last week, we heard that the vivo V60 will launch in India on August 19 with OriginOS, making it the first vivo smartphone in the country to run Funtouch OS instead of OriginOS, which is currently China-exclusive. A new report contradicts those leaks, claiming that the vivo V60 will debut in India on August 12 and run Funtouch OS based on Android 16.
Additionally, the source claims that the vivo V60 will be powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 SoC and have UFS 2.2 storage onboard without specifying the storage capacity. The smartphone will feature a 6.67" 120Hz 1.5K AMOLED display with 1,300-nit peak brightness. vivo V60's leaked renders
The vivo V60 is said to have four cameras - a 50MP selfie camera on the front and a triple camera setup on the rear, comprising a 50MP primary, a 50MP periscope telephoto (3x optical), and an 8MP ultrawide unit.
Other rumored specs of the vivo V60 include a 6,500 mAh battery, 90W charging, an in-display fingerprint scanner, and stereo speakers. The smartphone is also rumored to have IP68 and IP69 ratings and is expected to be priced between INR37,000 and INR40,000.
If all this sounds familiar, it's because the vivo V60 is expected to be a version of the vivo S30, which was launched in China in May.

World's largest foundry is attacked from within

When you're the top foundry in the world, you are obviously doing something right compared to the competition. Actually, you might look at this situation and ask, "What competition?" After all, TSMC's market share of approximately 67% is well above the share belonging to the second-place contract chip manufacturer, which is Samsung Foundry. The latter has only a 7.7% market share. TSMC has a client list (no, not THAT client list) that includes many of the top names in tech, including Apple, Nvidia, MediaTek, Qualcomm, and AMD. The foundry is about to embark on the next generation of chip production using its 2nm process node, which is the cutting-edge in advanced chip manufacturing. The foundry plans to start mass production at the 2nm node later this year. Inside a fab where chips are manufactured. | Image credit-TSMC Prosecutors were able to nab the six following searches conducted of homes belonging to some TSMC staff between July 25th and July 28th. The investigation now seeks to discover whether the stolen information has been released to other parties. Investigators in Taiwan searched the Taiwanese offices belonging to Tokyo Electron Ltd., a supplier based in Japan. Today, in a related story, Japan's Nikkei reported that TSMC fired several employees who were working at the foundry while trying to obtain critical and proprietary information about TSMC's 2nm chip development. TSMC told the Nikkei that recently it "detected unauthorized activities during routine monitoring, leading to the discovery of potential trade secret leaks." The foundry also stated that it took "strict disciplinary actions against the personnel involved and has initiated legal proceedings." TSMC says that it was on to the plot early thanks to an internal investigation it conducted. The information purloined from TSMC is important because Chinese foundry SMIC, the largest in the country, is limited to producing chips using a 7nm node. But this is mostly due to restrictions placed on the sale of advanced lithography equipment that keeps this gear out of the hands of Chinese companies. Media reports are calling the crime committed by the insiders an attack on national security. The Intellectual Property Branch of the High Prosecutors Office of Taiwan is conducting its investigation under the National Security Act of 2022. This Act is designed to prevent sensitive technology, especially tech related to semiconductors, from falling into the hands of foreign adversaries. -TSMC The Taiwan government has created a list of what it calls "National Core Critical Technologies," which includes technology used to produce integrated circuits (ICs) more advanced than 14nm. Obviously, equipment and technology used to produce 2nm ICs would be on this list. Reproducing, disclosing, and using trade secrets related to the list without authorization is a violation of the National Security Act. This is the first case involving semiconductors to be prosecuted under the Act. While TSMC has taken actions to protect its trade secrets, TSMC Chairman and CEO C.C. Wei has said that his foundry's technologies are difficult to duplicate. The company added that it will continue to strengthen its monitoring systems and it will continue to work with the relevant regulatory agencies "to protect our competitive advantage and operational stability." A statement from the prosecutors office released today confirmed that said that TSMC had conducted an internal investigation and that "TSMC discovered that its national core technology trade secrets had been allegedly illicitly obtained by a former employee in collusion with current employees."

Samsung Display introduces MONT FLEX brand for foldable displays

Samsung Display will launch a new foldable display brand at the K-Display 2025, an industry exhibition of new technology that opens doors on August 7 (Thursday). The brand is dubbed 'MONT FLEX'. Here's how Samsung explains it. 'M' stands for mechanical durability, 'O' for opto-mechanically flat, 'N' for narrow bezels and 'T' for thin and lightweight design. In more detail, the M highlights innovations like the shock-resistant structure that allowed the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 displays to survive 500,000 fold cycles. The O highlights the work put into making the crease less visible. Narrow bezels give you more screen area. Finally, the whole industry is striving for thinner and lighter foldables and slimming down the display helps do just that. 'Mont' is also French for 'mountain', which is intentional – Samsung says that it represents the pinnacle of foldable innovation. 'Since beginning mass production of foldable OLEDs in 2019, we have continued to drive technological innovation to perfect the product—becoming the first in the industry to apply UTG (Ultra Thin Glass) and LEAD, a polarizer-free OCF technology, to foldables,' said Jae-Nam Yun, Executive Vice President and Head of Mobile Display Marketing Team at Samsung Display. Hold on, let us grab our tech initialism dictionary. LEAD stands for Low power consumption, Eco-friendliness, Augmented brightness and Designed to be soft and light. OCF or On-Cell Film improves visual performance while also making the display thinner and lighter. 'Following the launch of a foldable panel with a newly developed 'shock-resistant structure' that passed the 500,000-fold durability test, we will continue pushing the boundaries to deliver even more refined foldable products that exceed market expectations,' said Jae-Nam Yun. Foldable panels from Samsung Display are, of course, featured on the Galaxy Z series. The company sells to other smartphone makers too – recently, unofficial info surfaced that Apple has ordered panels for its upcoming foldable. Source

The global tablet market is booming again, but not thanks to Apple or Samsung

While global smartphone shipments continue to fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to many different reasons ranging from complex macroeconomic issues to tariff volatility and the industry's general lack of innovation over the last few years, the tablet market is amazingly posting year-on-year growth for the sixth quarter in a row. Of course, worldwide tablet sales aren't exactly doubling from year to year, but a 9 percent increase in the market's Q2 numbers compared to the same period of 2024 is certainly nothing to sneeze at either. That's a very positive trend for the global tablet market. Surprisingly enough, this latest healthy progress is not primarily owed to the largest vendor out there... or even the industry's second-biggest player. Instead, it's the companies ranked third, fourth, and fifth between April and June 2025 that shined brightest in terms of year-on-year growth. Yes, Huawei managed to jump from 2.5 million unit shipments in Q2 2024 to a little over 3.2 million now, extending its previously very fragile lead over Lenovo and consolidating its place on the podium with an 8.3 percent slice of the global pie (up from 7 percent). Lenovo's 24.7 percent rise from under 2.5 million unit shipments to more than 3 million is also not too shabby, keeping the China-based brand in fourth place for yet another quarter, but Xiaomi is closing in on both Lenovo and Huawei fast after improving its Q2 tally by no less than 42.3 percent between 2024 and 2025. Should Apple fear Huawei, Lenovo, and Xiaomi's rise? Probably not. At least not yet. It pretty much goes without saying that the flourishing numbers of all three of these vendors are derived mainly from China, which means that one of the key reasons why Apple and Samsung are unable to keep up with those scores right now might be their weak presence in Huawei, Lenovo, and Xiaomi's huge domestic market. At the end of the day, however, Apple is still the global tablet market's top dog, with more than 14 million unit shipments and 36.1 percent share in Q2 2025. One of those numbers is actually (slightly) higher than how the company ended Q2 2024, which is not what we can say about Samsung. The industry's silver medalist remains miles ahead of Huawei, but both its quarterly shipments and market share are down from last year's April to June timeframe, which can't be viewed as a positive thing for the world's number one smartphone vendor.
