Here's an official update on the Sony Xperia 1 VII problems
Now Sony UK has an update on the matter. The company says it's still investigating the cause of all these issues, and working on a solution for those affected. In European markets, it's currently in the process of "identifying the extent of the affected stock, as this issue may only affect a select batch of Xperia 1 VII devices".
The page linked as the Source below will be updated with further information and guidance as soon as Sony has more details on how to support its European customers. In the meantime, the company recommends backing up any important data on your expensive shiny new Xperia 1 VII, so that it doesn't get lost if the device starts acting up.
Sony also mentions the workaround of pressing and holding the power button and volume up button simultaneously for about 20 seconds, which may wake up the phone from even a deeper sleep. The company advises you to additionally make sure you have the latest software update installed, though like we said last time, if it's still investigating the cause(s) of these issues, it's highly unlikely that this would actually help. Still, doesn't hurt to try, while we all wait for the big corporation to figure out what went wrong with its latest flagship device (or just some specific batches).
Thanks for the tip, Josip!

CPU on the current iPhone line performs 385 times better than the one that powered first iPhone
The iPhone has undoubtedly come a long way since it was first released more than five years ago. There is no question that the world changed with the launch of the iPhone on June 29, 2007. As the proud owner of the OG iPhone in 2007, I could see that once Apple replaced the iPhone's connectivity with AT&T's slow-as-molasses EDGE with cutting-edge 3G speeds, the device would become a mobile monster. Things were so slow with EDGE connectivity that the only way to watch a YouTube video clearly was when you could find a Wi-Fi connection around you. Even worse, if you were using the Safari browser, you could not make or receive a call at the same time. If someone tried to call you while you were checking out the New York Times website, for example, your incoming calls went right to voicemail. In the case of an emergency, that is not good. The A18 Pro powers the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. | Image credit-Apple Since the release of the OG iPhone, Apple has greatly improved the battery capacity from 1400mAh to 4685mAh (with the iPhone 16 Pro Max). The OG iPhone was also equipped with 128MB of RAM compared to 8GB on all iPhone 16 models (for Apple Intelligence purposes). The rear camera on the OG iPhone was 2MP compared to the 48MP Wide camera on the iPhone 16 Pro Max (along with the 48MP Ultra-wide camera and the 12MP Telephoto camera). What about the processor? The original iPhone was powered by an ARM11-based SoC from Samsung with a clock speed of 412MHz. For the iPhone 3GS released in 2009, Apple used an ARM Cortex-A8 core Samsung CPU (APL0298C05). Apple moved to a 64-bit architecture for the first time with the A7 chipset used to power the iPhone 5S in 2013. The chip was built by Samsung. The next year, Apple made a shift to TSMC for the A8 chipset used on the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. This SoC was built on TSMC's 20nm process node. The A9 was a bit unusual since both Samsung and TSMC built the chipset for Apple. The latter built it on its 16nm process node while Samsung used its 14nm process. Despite Samsung's use of a slightly more advanced process node, one benchmark test revealed that TSMC's version of the A9 SoC provided iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus users as much as two additional hours of battery life. This led to the so-called "Chipgate" scandal, and some of those buying new iPhones were demanding a model using TSMC's chipset. We even showed you how to determine which SoC was inside your iPhone 6s or iPhone 6s Plus. Apple said the actual variation in battery life between the two chipsets was 2%-3% in TSMC's favor and this was actually backed up by benchmark tests. According to Japanese tech blog PC Watch, using Geekbench to monitor the performance of iPhone CPUs, starting with the OG model in 2007, there is an annual improvement rate of 40%. Overall, from the OG iPhone to the iPhone 16 series, the iPhone CPU has increased in performance by 384.9x. With the improvements we could see with the A19/A19 Pro application processors, the improvement from the OG iPhone to the latest iPhone series could take the improvement to 500x or higher. The A19/A19 Pro will both be built using TSMC's third-generation 3nm process node. Next year's A20 application processor should be the first A-series chips built by TSMC using its 2nm process node. As the process node gets smaller, so does the size of the transistors used on a chip. That increases the transistor density, which measures the number of transistors that can be packed into a specific area of a chip. This number is expressed as millions of transistors per square millimeter (MTx/mm²). A higher transistor density means a chip is, in theory, more powerful and energy efficient than chips with a lower transistor density. After 2nm, TSMC is expected to start mass production of 1.4nm chips during the second half of 2028.

vivo Y400 5G's launch date, design, and colors revealed
vivo launched the Dimensity 7300-powered vivo Y400 Pro last month, and on August 4, the brand will follow it up with a vanilla model. Note that we are talking about the vivo Y400 5G, not the Y400 4G, which was recently listed on vivo's Indonesian website. vivo Y400 Pro 5G vivo hasn't detailed the Y400 5G's specs sheet yet, but the brand's Indian division has revealed the smartphone's design and said that it will come in two colors - Glam White and Olive Green. We'll know all about the vivo Y400 5G's features, pricing, and availability next Monday. But before that, on July 31, vivo will unveil the T4R in India. vivo has confirmed that the T4R will come with the Dimensity 7400 chip, 50MP primary camera (Sony IMX882), a 4K selfie camera, and IP68 and IP69 ratings. The smartphone will be 7.3mm thick and feature a quad-curved display. The vivo T4R is expected to be a version of the iQOO Z10R, which was introduced in India last week and will go on sale in the country today. You can read our iQOO Z10R's announcement coverage here to learn more about it.

Samsung Galaxy A17 renders leak
Mere hours ago, we reported that the upcoming Samsung Galaxy A17 received a certification on its way to launch, and now we're back talking about it since a bunch of official-looking renders depicting it have been outed. All of the images below show the phone in the same dark gray / black colorway except the last one, which gives us a glimpse at a different hue. Samsung Galaxy A17 leaked images The phone we're talking about here is the 5G version, it's still unclear if it will be the only one or if Samsung will also release a 4G iteration like it did last year for its predecessor. With that out of the way, let's talk specs. The source of these renders confirms the Exynos 1380 SoC which was already outed through a benchmark run. We should apparently also expect a 6.7-inch AMOLED screen, a triple rear camera setup with a 50 MP main snapper, a 5 MP ultrawide, and a 2 MP macro, and a 5,000 mAh battery with support for 25W wired charging. More Samsung Galaxy A17 leaked images A previous leak also told us that the main camera would have OIS for the first time in a Samsung in this price range. As you can see from the images, the A17 has a huge chin below the screen and a waterdrop notch, making for a rather vintage look in this day and age. It looks like the main upgrades in the A17 compared to the A16 will be the chipset and the OIS support in the main camera. Everything else seems to have remained identical, including, allegedly, the dimensions. In the US, the Galaxy A17 will be sold by T-Mobile for sure, but perhaps other carriers as well. The Galaxy A16 has by some measurements been Samsung's best-selling phone recently, and so its successor has a lot to live up to. It's expected to become official in October.
