It follows hot on the heels of the OnePlus 13s. But while OnePlus has focused on performance and build, Vivo has tried to make an all-rounder with a bigger battery and more powerful camera setup – at least on paper. The specs speak for phone in question has a 6.31-inch 1.5K resolution LTPO AMOLED display with a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz and up to 5,000nits of peak brightness.

You'll be able to get it in a choice of amber yellow, frost blue, and luxe the X200 FE is the X Fold 5. One must not confuse it as a direct sequel to last year's X Fold 3 Pro. You can think of it as an X Fold 3 Pro Max, perhaps. But that's all conjecture. Vivo has given almost every spec a noticeable upgrade and ample polish to justify the 'next generation' model as a strong contender to India's foldable phone of its specs are simply off the charts. The X Fold 5 has best-in-class IP rating (IPX8/IPX9 Plus/IP5X) and a massive 6,000mAh battery.

Xiaomi And Leica To Stop Making Branded Camera For Phones? What Reports Say
Last Updated: Xiaomi has launched phones with Leica-engineered cameras in the last few years but it seems that tie up could soon end. Xiaomi and Leica have been working together on phone cameras for the last few years and the results have been good. However, a new report this week claims Xiaomi could be looking to go solo and end its partnership with Leica in the near future. The details suggest Xiaomi is now confident of developing its own imaging ID that will deliver premium quality without needing a Leica badge and expertise to make it work. The rumour has come via a post by tipster Digital Chat Station from China without actually naming the brand. Xiaomi signed up with Leica which was done to give it the premium outlook in the market and it worked to some extent. However, the company's actual focus in the mid-range segment faced challenges as pricing became an issue. Now, if the Leica branding and royalty payments go away, Xiaomi can deliver high-quality cameras across its range. The tipster even suggests Redmi and Poco could benefit from this strategy and Xiaomi could really up the ante with its hardware production cost now being more manageable. We don't know how much the Leica branding actually costs Xiaomi but going by other arrangements, it surely costs them something significant. Building On It Leica had previously worked with Huawei for the P-series that were launched globally. And once the duo decided to go separate ways, the China-based brand had developed its own sensors to take forward the legacy without a heavy badge. Vivo is the other brand that has relied on Zeiss Optics to develop some of the best imaging solutions with the X-series. These collaborations are not meant to last forever, and their close association gives them deeper access to the knowledge and the skilled workforce involved in the business.

KUALA LUMPUR: Proton Holdings Bhd and Grab Malaysia have expanded their partnership to offer more car models, including the Proton S70 and X-Series, with added benefits for Grab drivers. In a statement, Proton said the partnership builds on the success of the 'Saga Power Up for Grab Driver-Partners' campaign launched in November 2024, which has so far generated 220 leads and resulted in 148 Proton Saga registrations. The continued collaboration underscores the strong demand for Proton's models in the e-hailing segment and reinforces the shared goal of modernising Malaysia's ride-hailing with affordable and reliable cars. Driver-partners can now choose from a wider range of Proton models, including GrabCar Plus and GrabCar (6-Seater) options. The partnership also offers up to RM13,000 in cash rebates, a 5% service discount for two years or 40,000 km, and RM500 in fuel support to ease initial ownership costs. 'Our strengthened partnership with Grab Malaysia marks a crucial step in empowering the e-hailing sector. Proton is thrilled to make our S70 and premium X-series models more accessible to Grab drivers.

Its reliability and affordable maintenance costs are important factors for those who use cars as their primary working tools,' Proton Edar deputy director sales, Ong Chee Wooi said. Meanwhile, Grab Malaysia's director of country operations and mobility, Rashid Shukor, said this collaboration made it easier for its driver-partners to access vehicles, enabling them to earn and support their families while meeting the growing demand for rides.

FUJIFILM Announces X half Digital Camera; Half Size Camera, Double the Fun, First look YouTube Video X half Camera, Preorder and More Info at B&H
FUJIFILM X half frame Camera Photography News: Invoking the half-frame concept of the film world, FUJIFILM's new X half camera melds the immersive experience of analog with the ease and sharing of digital. NEW YORK, May 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- B&H is excited to share FUJIFILM's latest digital innovation, the X half digital camera, a swing to the small-sensor end of the imaging spectrum hot on the heels of GFX100RF, their genre-bending compact medium format camera. Riffing on the film world's half-frame concept to meld the ease of digital shooting with the pleasure, presence, and texture of shooting film, the camera features a new 1', vertically-oriented 18MP sensor and a fixed FUJINON Aspherical 10.8mm f/2.8 lens produce 3:4 stills and video. A host of film-reminiscent features—like a Frame Advance Lever, Film Camera mode, 2-in-1 mode, FUJIFILM's celebrated film simulations, and integration with INSTAX printers—recreates the analog experience with a 21st century edge. FUJIFILM X half Digital Camera (Charcoal Silver) Key Features 18MP 1" Vertical 3:4 CMOS Sensor FUJINON 10.8mm f/2.8 Lens (32mm Equiv.) Rear Vertical LCD & Sub LCD Screens Optical Window Viewfinder Film Camera Mode & 2-in-1 Mode 13 Film Simulation Modes and 26 Filters Frame Advance Lever & Exposure Comp Dial 1080 x 1440 Vertical Video Recording X half App for Image Development The 1', 18MP vertically oriented sensor mimics the half-frame cameras of yesteryear, which exposed half the film frame to double the total picture count of a roll of film. In addition to invoking a nostalgic, fun-friendly shooting style, the new sensor affords the camera's pocketable build. Included is a simple, no-frills optical viewfinder, a vertical rear LCD touchscreen, a slim, pill-shaped LCD displaying the chose Film Simulation, and the Frame Advance Lever which gives the feel of winding film on a film camera, all with the same design philosophy that's distinguished FUJIFILM's X-series cameras. The fixed FUJINON Aspherical 10.8mm f/2.8 lens offers a 32mm equivalent focal length whose wide field of view suits most everyday subjects and can work in both manual and auto modes. FUJIFILM X half Digital Camera (Black) Unique to X half is the new Film Camera mode, FUJIFILM's gambit to integrate the immersive experience of shooting film into the modern digital workflow. Choose the film simulation, the length of the 'roll,' and the desired exposure setting—and the camera locks into that configuration (with a few built-in escape hatches) until the 'roll' is complete and it's time to 'develop' the images with the new X half app or via computer. Pulling the Frame Advance Lever 'advances' the roll and sets up the next shot. Image composition is only available through the viewfinder, and the vertical rear LCD only displays battery, date, and remaining frames information. The 2-in-1 mode is also new and exclusive to the X half camera, again building on the half-frame concept to produce a digital-era tableau. The mode allows the automatic combination of two sequential still images, videos, or a still and a video in the 3:4 aspect ratio to create a diptych in a single, shareable file. The X-half incorporates 13 of FUJIFILM's distinct Film Simulations, including the ultra-vibrant Velvia, the nostalgic Classic Chrome, and the artistic black-and-white Acros. A grain setting allows for the inclusion and adjustment of the apparent graininess of each film type. Additionally, there are 26 filters inspired by the distinct traits of film, including Light Leak, Halation, Expired Film, and Double Exposure. While primarily a stills-oriented camera, the X half does shoot vertical video at 1080 x 1440 at 24 fps with dedicated slow-motion settings up to 200%. Built for sharing, the X half wirelessly connects to an optional INSTAX printer to immediately print and share images. The dedicated X half app also makes it easy to digitally share photos or videos and can also be used to develop images made in the Film Camera mode. With summer on the horizon, the X half is poised to be a stylish and fun option for creating and sharing memories. FUJIFILM is releasing the camera in three colorways: all-black, charcoal silver, and silver.
