POCO M7 Plus 5G vs Vivo T4x 5G: Price, camera, battery, processor, display and more compared
The Indian budget smartphone market is heating up this August, as POCO introduced a new 5G-ready handset, set to compete with Vivo T4x 5G, which was launched in March this year. Both smartphones are designed to attract value-conscious buyers. While both devices target a similar sub- ₹ 17,000 segment, their specifications and feature sets cater to slightly different user priorities. Pricing and Availability The POCO M7 Plus 5G will go on sale exclusively via Flipkart from 19 August at 12 pm, with introductory prices of ₹ 12,999 for the 6GB+128GB variant and ₹ 13,999 for the 8GB+128GB model. Launch offers include an instant ₹ 1,000 discount for HDFC, SBI, and ICICI Bank cardholders, along with an exchange bonus of up to ₹ 1,000. In contrast, Vivo's T4x 5G is already available through Flipkart, Vivo's official website, and select retail partners. Prices start at ₹ 13,999 for 6GB+128GB, ₹ 14,999 for 8GB+128GB, and ₹ 16,999 for the 8GB+256GB variant. Display and Design POCO's M7 Plus 5G comes with a 6.9-inch Full HD+ display, offering up to 144Hz refresh rate and TÜV Rheinland certifications for reduced eye strain. Vivo's T4x 5G sports a 6.72-inch screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and a higher peak brightness of 1050 nits, also backed by TÜV Rheinland eye protection. Performance and Software The POCO M7 Plus 5G is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 6s Gen 3, coupled with up to 8GB RAM (expandable virtually to 16GB) and 128GB storage. It runs Android 15-based HyperOS 2.0, with two years of major OS updates promised. Vivo opts for MediaTek's Dimensity 7300 chipset, with up to 8GB RAM and 256GB storage in the top variant. Its Funtouch OS 15 adds AI tools such as Live Text and AI Screen Translation. Camera and Video Both phones feature a 50MP main camera, but the Vivo T4x 5G supports 4K recording, compared to the POCO's 1080p limit. Vivo also offers AI photography tools and a dedicated night mode. Battery and Charging For endurance, POCO delivers a massive 7,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging and 18W reverse charging. Vivo counters with a slightly smaller 6,500mAh cell but faster 44W charging support. Verdict The POCO M7 Plus 5G appeals to users prioritising extra battery life, and aggressive launch pricing, while the Vivo T4x 5G targets those seeking brighter screens, AI-driven camera features, and faster charging. Both models offer 5G support, IP64 protection, and solid value, giving budget buyers more choice than ever.

Tech Wrap Aug 13: POCO M7 Plus, Lenovo IdeaTab, Pixel 10 Pro Fold design
POCO M7 Plus 5G launched. Lenovo IdeaTab and Tab launched. Google reveals Pixel 10 Pro Fold design. GTA V gets DLSS 4. Optiemus debuts RhinoTech. Apple Arcade to get NFL Retro Bowl '26 Tech Wrap August 13 BS Tech POCO M7 Plus 5G with 7000mAh battery launched in India Chinese smartphone brand POCO has launched the M7 Plus 5G smartphone in India, its latest addition to the M7 series. Starting at Rs 13,999, the smartphone is said to lead the segment with a 7,000mAh battery and a 6.9-inch FHD+ display that supports 144Hz refresh rate. The POCO M7 Plus is also rated IP64 for dust and water resistance. Chinese consumer electronics maker Lenovo has launched two new Android tablets in India – IdeaTab with 5G connectivity option and Lenovo Tab. The Lenovo IdeaTab offers artificial intelligence features and is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor. The Lenovo Tab is powered by the MediaTek Helio G85 processor, and is said to be more suited for multimedia usage. Google has released the first look of its next-generation book-style folding smartphone, likely to be called the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. The device is expected to debut alongside the rest of the Pixel 10 lineup during the Made by Google event on August 20. From the preview, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold seems to retain much of its predecessor's design, but with some refinements. Google has also showcased the phone in a new shade, anticipated to be named 'Moonstone.' Nvidia has announced that Rockstar Games is adding its DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation (MFG) to Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced. Nvidia is also rolling out a new Game Ready 580.97 driver to go with it. In simpler terms, if you have a compatible GeForce RTX 50-series or RTX 40-series graphics card, the game can now create extra in-between frames. This makes motion look smoother and helps maintain high graphics settings without the frame rate dropping — especially when using demanding ray tracing effects. Indian telecom and electronics firm Optiemus has unveiled RhinoTech, a new brand of tempered glass screen protectors. The company stated that RhinoTech will deliver premium, made-in-India protectors for smartphones using glass 'Engineered by Corning.' Apple has announced that three new titles will be added to its Arcade subscription service on September 4, expanding its library of more than 200 games. The upcoming releases include NFL Retro Bowl '26, Jeopardy! Daily, and My Talking Tom Friends+. In addition, Hello Kitty Island Adventure is set to receive a fresh update on September 18. Apple confirmed that all these games will be offered without ads or in-app purchases. Google Search is rolling out a new feature called Preferred Sources, allowing users in the US and India to personalise their Top Stories feed. According to a Google blog, the update lets people select their favourite news outlets so that content from these sources appears more frequently in the search results' Top Stories section. The feature is designed to give readers more control over the news they see, instead of relying solely on Google's algorithmic selection. OpenAI has returned with a long list of AI models in ChatGPT to choose from. OpenAI launched GPT-5 recently with the promise that it would remove the hassle for users to choose the model that they want to interact with, including GPT-4o. After facing backlash from users, OpenAI has introduced 'Auto', 'Fast', and 'Thinking' settings for GPT-5 that all ChatGPT users can select from the model picker. Additionally, it has also added all other existing models GPT-4o, GPT-4.1, and o3 under the 'Legacy models' banner. Apple may be preparing to launch a budget-friendly MacBook model in the coming months. As reported by 9to5Mac, the company is said to be developing an entirely new entry-level MacBook variant that will use an iPhone-class A-series Apple Silicon instead of the M-series chips found in the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro. According to the report, this new MacBook could arrive in late 2025 or early 2026.
