Unlike the smartphones, the Pixel Buds 2a might see a price hike compared to their predecessor. The new earphones are claimed to start at €149 (about $174 when directly converted), which is a major increase from the €99 starting price of the Pixel Buds A.While Google appears to keep the European prices of thesmartphones unchanged from last year, the situation in the United States might be different. A few months ago, there were reports that theXL might see a price hike in the US, while themay become cheaper.Another thing to consider is the wild and unpredictable situation with the US import tariffs. Google doesn't manufacture its phones in the US, so every device imported from Vietnam, China, or India might be subject to tariffs. That could lead to a price hike, unless Google decides to eat the difference.In my opinion, Google will do its best to keep the US prices of theas low as possible. After last year's increase, a Pixel 9 costs as much as an iPhone 16 or a Galaxy S25 . If Google is forced to raise the price of the, people would need to choose an alternative to the most popular phones and pay more for the pleasure. That would make the already complicated choice of a Pixel phone even more difficult.

Questionable image of Tensor G5 prototype surfaces
Pixel 10 Pixel 10 Receive the latest Google news Subscribe By subscribing you agree to our terms and conditions and privacy policy On the other hand, there is some indication that Samsung Foundry felt that it would get the job of building the Tensor G5. As we told you last month, Korean financial newsletter "The Bell" said that Samsung Foundry is investigating why it lost the business of building the Tensor G5 to TSMC . While that doesn't prove that Samsung foundry built a Tensor G5 prototype, it does indicate that Samsung might have been surprised by Google's decision to have TSMC build the AP although most analysts were not. Samsung Foundry's yield problems have resulted in the Samsung unit's market share declining to 7.7% during Q1 2025 from 8.1% during the fourth quarter of last year. Meanwhile, TSMC's share has risen from 67.1% to 67.6% from Q4 2024 to Q1 2025, respectively. Galaxy S26 Galaxy S26 Pixel 10 Grab Surfshark VPN now at more than 50% off and with 3 extra months for free! Secure your connection now at a bargain price! We may earn a commission if you make a purchase Check Out The Offer As we've mentioned before, the Pixel 10 will be powered by the Tensor G5 application processor (AP). This will be the first Tensor chip designed from the ground up by Google ; previous Tensor chips used a Samsung Exynos AP as a foundation while Google added some customized parts of the chipset. The change will allow Google to design exclusive Pixel features right into the chipset. The Tensor G5 is also the first Tensor SoC built by the world's largest foundry, TSMC. The four previous Tensor APs were built by Samsung the struggles that Samsung Foundry is having with its yield at 3nm, it is no surprise that TSMC ended up with the job. But a tipster posted an image on "X" showing what he says is a prototype of the Tensor G5 AP. The tipster, @Jukanlosreve, wrote, " I received a photo of aprototype chip, and it's marked as SEC (Samsung). It certainly seems that, at least for the early versions of the, they were considering having the Tensor G5 manufactured at Samsung Foundry."@Jukanlosreve might have thought that the SEC marking on the chip stood for Samsung Electronics Company. However, while Samsung uses that abbreviation in press releases and news articles; it would not be a marking Samsung would typically use on a finished chip to indicate that it was made by Samsung Foundry. Also, there are signs that certain numbers on the chip have been concealed, possibly to perpetuate the myth that Samsung Foundry built a prototype of the Tensor most important project that Samsung Foundry is working on is the 2nm Exynos 2600 AP, expected to power the Galaxy S26 and+ in most markets outside of the U.S., Canada, and China. If Samsung uses the Exynos 2600 AP in those models, in most markets worldwide, themodels using Sammy's homegrown AP will be the first equipped by a chip produced using the 2nm process thing that is clear is that the Tensor G5 AP will not be manufactured by Samsung Foundry and will be produced by TSMC. Theseries is rumored to be unveiled on August 20th and released on August 28th.

vivo X200 FE review
GSMArena Team , 11 July 2025 . The vivo X200 FE boots Android 15 with a layer of the company's in-house Funtouch OS on top, also v.15. The X200 FE will be eligible for 4 major OS release updates plus an extra year with security updates, which sounds like a good level of futureproofing. The latest Funtouch isn't much different from previous iterations in look and feel, and almost gives off a bit of a dated vibe with its visuals. Funtouch 15 The present-day functionality is, of course, all there. Funtouch includes niceties now taken for granted like large folders, and the split-screen/pop-up window implementation is about as straightforward as it gets, too. The app drawer is worth mentioning too, because that's where Funtouch keeps its widget selection for some reason. Funtouch 15 The X200 FE also comes with Google's Circle to search on board and the Gemini AI assistant as well. A Google Lens-powered screen translation feature is also present. Google AI You also get live translation of phone calls, an AI helper in the Notes app, and an AI Transcript Assist utility for making summaries out of spoken conversations. Note that all of these may be region-dependent and not present in your locale. AI Transcript Assist • AI in Note Also, there's some AI-powered functionality in the gallery editor. You get to delete objects, remove people, and fight reflections - all of those with varying success, of course. AI in Albums Like other vivos, the X200 FE comes with this unique feature where it can copy and emulate a physical access card. It can scan and copy your RFID card as long as it's based on NFC technology (13.56MHz). It doesn't work for 125KHz cards. NFC Performance and benchmarks The vivo X200 FE is powered by the flagship-grade Dimensity 9300+ 4nm chip. It packs an 8-core processor with a 3.25 GHz Cortex-X4 prime core, three 2.85 GHz Cortex-X4 cores, and four 2.0GHz Cortex-A720 cores. These are all prime and high-performance cores, there are no A510 power-efficient ones. The GPU is the Immortalis-G720 MC12. There are several memory configurations - a base 12GB/256GB version, our review unit's 12GB/512GB spec, as well as the 16GB/512 top-spec variant. Not all of these will be available in all markets, as usual. The vivo X200 FE posted excellent benchmark scores, bested only by the most recent top-notch Snapdragon models. The X100 Pro from last year, which had a similar Dimensity inside, posted slightly higher scores altogether, with the regular X200 and its newer Dimensity 9400 being yet a little more potent, but the FE is plenty powerful enough. The phone kept 53% of its maximum CPU performance when running our usual stress test, and it dropped to this level after just 5 mins. The GPU sustained performance is better - the phone kept about 60% of its graphics capabilities during the 3D Mark stress test. CPU test • GPU test Overall, the vivo X200 FE enters the flagship class with its Dimensity 9300+ chip, scoring below the cream of the crop, but better than the premium midrangers out there. Its sustained performance is average at best, with the phone becoming quite hot after 10-15 mins running at peak performance. Still, for a compact device with powerful hardware, we'd say it's managed rather well.
