The next Fan Edition smartphone is not coming from Samsung
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.

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.

Honor Magic V Flip 2 rumored to sport edge-to-edge cover display
Honor Magic V Flip 2 has been rumored to launch this month in China as a successor to the Magic V Flip, which was unveiled in June 2024. Although Honor hasn't made any official announcements regarding the V Flip 2, there have been several leaks about it. As per the latest unofficial report, Honor's upcoming clamshell foldable will offer an edge-to-edge cover display that will support an improved user interface. The panel will be of the LTPO variety, offering adaptive refresh rate and high brightness. Notably, a previous leak claimed that the Magic V Flip 2 will adopt a new design for the rear cameras. Unlike the vertical uneven camera cutouts on the V Flip, the upcoming phone is rumored to get uniform camera rings. The Honor Magic V Flip 2 is also said to house a larger battery compared to the current model. It should also offer faster 66W or 80W charging. If Honor is indeed planning to launch the Magic V Flip 2 this month, then we should see an official announcement soon. Source • Via
