Vivo X200 FE vs Realme GT 7: 8 things to know
By Ankita Garg Vivo X200 FE vs Realme GT 7: 8 things to know The Vivo X200 FE was just recently launched in India. It will be seen competing with popular phones like Realme GT 7. Here are at least 8 things to know about these phones. The Realme GT 7 features the newer MediaTek Dimensity 9400e chip built on a 3nm process. In comparison, the Vivo X200 FE runs on the slightly older Dimensity 9300+ processor, which is still powerful but not as advanced. Realme GT 7 has a larger 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a peak brightness of 6,000nits and 360Hz touch sampling rate for better responsiveness. The Vivo X200 FE is more compact with a 6.31-inch 1.5K AMOLED screen, 5000nits peak brightness, and 300Hz sampling. If you prefer a sleek and lightweight phone, the X200 FE is more suitable. It measures 7.99mm thick and weighs just 186 grams. The GT 7 is bulkier at 8.3mm thickness and 206 grams in weight. Both phones offer triple rear camera setups, but with slight differences. The X200 FE uses Zeiss-branded lenses with a 50MP Sony IMX921 main sensor with OIS, a 50MP telephoto lens, and an 8MP ultra-wide camera. The GT 7 also offers a 50MP telephoto and 8MP ultra-wide, but its main sensor is the newer Sony IMX906, which captures better details in various lighting conditions. Vivo clearly leads in the selfie department with a high-resolution 50MP front camera. Realme GT 7 includes a decent 32MP front sensor, but it doesn't quite match the sharpness of Vivo's offering. The Realme GT 7 packs a massive 7,000mAh battery with support for ultra-fast 120W charging. In contrast, the Vivo X200 FE includes a 6,500mAh battery that supports 90W fast charging. Vivo has the upper hand when it comes to protection, with IP68 and IP69 water and dust resistance ratings along with reinforced Gorilla Shield glass. Realme GT 7 is also IP69 rated but comes with Corning Gorilla Glass 7i, which is slightly less durable on paper. The Vivo X200 FE impresses with its compact size, Zeiss optics, and premium features. The Realme GT 7 stands out as a better value for money option. It offers newer hardware, bigger battery, and faster charging at a lower price. The Vivo X200 FE is priced starting at Rs 54,999 for the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage variant. The Realme GT 7, on the other hand, starts at just Rs 39,999 for the 8GB+256GB version.

Forget power banks, smartphones with massive 8,500 mAh batteries coming soon
We have seen phones coming out recently with huge batteries. We're talking 7,000 mAh and even 7,550 mAh in some cases. It is safe to say these are notably larger than what we see in flagships these days, which top out at around 5,000 to 6,000 mAh. Poco F7 comes with a 7,550 mAh battery, and the Realme GT 7 sports a 7,000 mAh unit.(Shaurya Sharma / HT) This expansion has primarily been attributed to advancing silicon-carbon tech, which makes it possible to include larger capacity batteries in a smaller surface area. This is why you are seeing huge batteries in smartphones that are, more or less, a similar size to normal phones. But what if we told you that there could be plans in the future to bring even larger batteries, with as much as 8,500 mAh capacity? This information comes from the tipster Digital Chat Station. 8,500 mAh batteries in phones: What we know so far The tipster, citing supply chain sources, says that the battery capacity of upcoming next-generation smartphones could reach as much as 8,500 mAh for single-cell designs by next year, 2026. There is also preliminary research at the lab stage, where 9,000 mAh batteries are seemingly being tested. Now, how will these batteries gain such a huge capacity without increasing in size? Well, it could primarily lie with the fact that the silicon content in these batteries could increase from the current percentage, which revolves around 10%, and this may be boosted to around 25 to 30%. There is also potential talk about metal-shell batteries, which also offer larger capacity, but the volume remains the same. So, all in all, this is good news for people who want no battery anxiety and who do not like to charge their phones. But the interesting part is that we have already had smartphones with 7,500 mAh batteries, so this is definitely not a far-fetched dream. These smartphones already offer huge batteries If you think about large batteries in phones released recently, a few names immediately come to mind. The Poco F7 was released earlier in June, and it offers a huge 7,550 mAh battery. You can check out the unboxing here, as well as the comparison with the Realme GT 7. Speaking of the Realme GT 7, it is another phone with a massive 7,000 mAh battery. So, if you think about it, we have already seen huge batteries in phones, and all of these are notably powered by silicon-carbon batteries. The direction that the smartphone industry is taking in this regard already seems to be towards large batteries becoming a reality. MOBILE FINDER: iPhone 16 LATEST Price

Poco F7 vs Realme GT 7: Big batteries, big fight - Performance, design and more compared
The era of performance-centric phones with upwards of 7,000mAh batteries is here, thanks to silicon carbon tech. The Indian market has seen two launches in the same category, with the Poco F7 launched recently, as well as the Realme GT 7, which also launched last month in May. Now, both phones more or less follow the same key formula: maximum specs for a minimum price. Poco F7 (left), Realme GT 7 (right).(Shaurya Sharma / HT) This is why both are performance-centric. Both are designed to pack in a lot of hardware for budget to mid-range pricing. We have used both phones for a solid while: the Realme GT 7 for almost a month and a half and the Poco F7 for a couple of weeks as well. Now I can take you through what I liked about both phones, how they compare, and where they go ahead of each other. So, if you are confused between the two, considering they are priced quite similarly, with the Poco F7 coming in at ₹ 31,999 and the Realme GT7 coming in at ₹ 39,999. Both phones pack new chipsets from rival companies. The Poco F7 gets the latest Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip, while the Realme GT 7 gets the MediaTek Dimensity 9400e. Now, both are 4nm chipsets, but it's worth noting that the Realme GT7 comes with up to 16 GB of RAM, while the Poco F7 in India is limited to 12 GB. The storage type also differs, with the Realme GT 7 having UFS 4.0 storage, while the Poco F7 gets UFS 4.1 storage. In terms of synthetic benchmarks, we have taken both phones through them. The Realme GT7 scored a multi-core score of 7,238 and a single-core score of 2,210 in the Geekbench 6 CPU Benchmark, while the Poco F7 with its Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip scored a multi-core score of 6,210 and a single-core score of 1,978. So, in terms of both, the Realme GT7 is a little ahead in terms of the Geekbench scores, but in terms of real-world performance, you will have no problems using either. Both fly through their respective operating systems. But one thing worth noting is that the Realme GT 7 supports 120 FPS in games like BGMI, while the Poco F7 supports 90 FPS for now. Having said that, during the press briefing conducted by the brand, they mentioned that they were working with Krafton to bring 120 FPS support. Poco F7 vs Realme GT 7: Camera Now, when it comes to the optics, both phones sport different setups, with the Realme GT 7 offering a triple camera setup compared to the dual camera setup of the Poco F7. This difference is majorly attributed to the addition of a telephoto lens with the Realme GT 7, which the Poco F7 misses out on. So, the Poco F7 gets a 50MP main wide camera and an 8MP ultrawide shooter, while the GT 7 gets a 50MP main wide camera, a 50MP telephoto 2x camera, and an 8MP ultrawide shooter. Poco F7 gets a dual camera setup while the Realme GT 7 gets a triple camera shooter.(Shaurya Sharma / HT) Now, on paper, the Realme GT 7 certainly has an advantage when it comes to the possibilities you have with it. It makes for a more diverse camera setup. But talking about the images from the main camera, both phones offer reliable output. In daylight, both offer sharp results, in mixed lighting as well. But we've observed that the Realme GT 7 often results in photos with much less noise, especially while shooting in extreme low light. Having said that, the colours do look better on the Poco F7. The highlights, although, are better controlled on the Realme GT 7. All in all, both feature quite competitive camera setups, but if we have to pick one, the Realme GT 7 wins it. Poco F7 vs Realme GT 7: Build quality and display Coming to the build, we have had access to the Realme GT 7 in both its special edition Aston Martin Edition, as well as its IceSense Blue colour. And the Poco F7 we have is in the limited edition colourway. From what we can tell, the Poco F7 certainly feels more premium out of the two. It has Gorilla Glass 7i on the back as well as the front, and the sides are metal. Whereas the Realme GT 7 has a plastic back as well as a plastic frame, so it certainly misses out on the premium feel. But the Realme GT 7 is more comfortable in the hand because of its lighter weight. Both phones have large displays, with the Poco F7 getting a 6.83-inch panel and the Realme GT 7 sporting a 6.78-inch panel. As for the display itself, we think the Realme GT 7 goes ahead with its LTPO AMOLED panel, which can reach a whopping 6,000 nits of peak brightness. We feel it also renders colours better. Both also have Gorilla Glass 7i protection. Both are also protected using IP ratings. The Poco F7 gets an IP68 plus IP69 rating, and the Realme GT 7 also has an IP69 rating. So, all in all, it depends on what you prefer. If you want something more comfortable in the hand, the GT 7 certainly takes it. But if you want premium materials, the Poco F7 is certainly ahead in this regard, but you should know that it is quite heavy, coming in at above 220 grams for the Indian variant. Poco F7 vs Realme GT 7: Battery life Now, finally addressing the elephant in the room, battery life with both phones has been excellent. Both phones are the latest entrants in the 7,000 mAh battery club in India. The Realme GT 7 gets a whopping 7,000 mAh silicon-carbon battery and supports 120W wired fast charging and 7.5W reverse wired charging. While the Poco F7 certainly one-ups this with its huge 7,550 mAh battery for the Indian model. It is also silicon-carbon and supports 90W wired charging and 22.5W reverse wired charging. Now, both have large batteries, but in terms of real-world testing, we think the Poco F7 certainly has an advantage of 10 to 15 percent in real-world use. While the GT 7 could go on easily for two days, we typically had to plug it in by the end of the second day, but with the Poco F7, it could go beyond that, and consistently at the end of the second day, we ended up with around 10 to 15 percent battery life left. But again, both are excellent performers, and you can't go wrong with either. Poco F7 vs Realme GT 7: Verdict Now, after using both the phones, there are two key areas where both phones differ. The first one is the software, and the second one is the camera setup. When it comes to software, both phones are running on their respective skins on top. The Realme GT 7 runs on Realme UI 6.0, based on Android 15, while the Poco F7 runs on Xiaomi HyperOS 2.0, based on Android 15. Now, what I feel is that the Realme UI 6.0 is definitely lighter and more pleasing out of the two. The haptic feedback is also better integrated. Plus, there is a lot less bloatware that comes with Realme UI compared to the Poco F7. So, in terms of software, I think the Realme GT 7 takes the win here. But Xiaomi's HyperOS 2 isn't far behind either. It is quite feature-rich, but Xiaomi should have got rid of the bloatware to begin with. Yes, it is uninstallable, but it does present a jarring experience when you just boot the phone. Finally, the cameras. Here in this regard, the Realme GT 7 does offer more thanks to its telephoto camera, but it is worth noting that the Realme GT 7 is also the more expensive out of the two. The Realme GT 7 costs ₹ 39,999, while the Poco F7 can be bought for around ₹ 32,000. So, if the camera is not a priority for you, the Poco F7 could be a better option. It sports a premium display, a premium design, and certainly the best-in-class battery life and performance. So, there you have it. If you want to save money and opt for a phone that costs around ₹ 30,000, go for the Poco F7. But if you want a good camera experience alongside performance, pay the extra premium for the Realme GT 7.

He pointed out that while a large number of Americans 'live paycheck to paycheck' and faces issues like hunger, Bezos 'goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring'. The comments have added to ongoing protest against Bezos' marriage with fiance Lauren Sanchez . Locals and activists have raised concerns about the disruption caused by the extravagant wedding preparations and the impact of overtourism on the historic city. What Bernie Sanders said about Bezos' lavish wedding In the X post, Sanders wrote 'This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%.
