Vivo T3x 5G will draw power from the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset according to the report, and it will become Vivo’s first slim smartphone to feature a massive 6,000mAh battery that will last up to two days on a single charge.

It will also boast of dual stereo speakers with audio booster support, which will increase the volume by 300%. Aside from this, one of the reports says that the upcoming phone will resemble last year’s Vivo T2x 5G model, which had a FHD+ LCD display with a 60Hz Refresh Rate and dual rear cameras.

Vivo T3x 5G: Expected Price

Vivo might launch the Vivo T3x 5G between Rs 12,000 and Rs 15,000 in India, making it one of the affordable smartphone from the brand. The handset, if priced in the said range, could compete with the Galaxy F15 5G, Realme 12x 5G and the Moto G34 5G as well.

Most of the smartphone brands now have their own respective foldable smartphone out in the world but Infinix has been missing out on the trend. It won’t stay that way for long according to a new report which states that Infinix Zero Flip is now coming as the brand’s first foldable smartphone ever.

Coming from Android Headlines, “the existence of the new smartphone is officially confirmed”, says the publication. An Infinix model by the name of X6962 had passed EEC certification a few weeks back and the publication’s internal sources have now revealed that this model number belongs to the Infinix Zero Flip.

Not much else was shared by them regarding the specifications of the Infinix device but it is expected to be an affordable foldable smartphone rather than being on the pricier side like majority of the foldable smartphones. Infinix is known for operating in the budget segment and that wouldn’t change with the Zero Flip.

Infinix’ sister brand Tecno is the only brand under Transsion Holdings that has a foldable deployed in the market. It is also possible that Infinix’s Zero Flip may be highly inspired by the Tecno Phantom V Flip.

Launched last year as the cheapest flip foldable in India, the Phantom V Flip 5G was priced at Rs 59,999. The Phantom V Flip 5G sports a 6.9-inch full-HD+ (2400 x 1080 pixels) flexible LTPO AMOLED inner display that supports 1000 nits peak brightness and 120Hz refresh rate. The circular AMOLED cover display is 1.32 inches with Always-on display functionality.

The smartphone is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 8050 SoC paired with Arm Mali-G77 GPU, 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 inbuilt storage. The device supports virtual RAM also. It ships with Android 13 and is touted to get two years of OS updates and three years of security patches.

The Phantom V Flip includes a dual rear camera setup, including a 64MP f/1.7 primary sensor and a 13MP f/2.2 ultra-wide angle sensor. A Quad Flashlight unit accompanies it. The front camera is a 32MP sensor with f/2.5 aperture.

The next iPhone launch is still months away but a new leak has confirmed what one can expect from the iPhone 16 series. Photos of purported dummy units of iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 16 Pro Max have been shared online, suggesting once again that the non-pro models are in for a design refresh, along with giving us a look at the capture button and the action button on all four of them.

Shared on social media by Sonny Dickson, the photos of dummy units of all four iPhone 16 series models show that the vanilla and plus models will get a refreshed design with the cameras now stacked vertically instead of the diagonal placement. A report from last December suggested the same, meaning one can finally expect the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus to look different from its predecessors.

Next, the action button is now also making its way to the non-pro iPhones, while it was only available in the 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max which launched last year. The sizes of the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will also slightly be larger than the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus. The Pro could go up from 6.1 to 6.3-inches while the Pro Max may go up from 6.7 to 6.9-inches, making it the largest iPhone Apple has ever made.

The new capture button will also be seen on all four iPhone 16 models. It will be present below the power button on the right spine of the handset. The Capture button will feature a mechanical design. However, it will have a capacitive surface that will support touch-based gestures for zooming in and out.

Overall, the iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 16 Pro Max haven’t changed a lot in terms of design over their predecessors. They still have the same camera layout along with newer dimensions. The devices are expected to debut in the second half of 2024, around September. It would be interesting to see what other changes the iPhones might bring, especially in terms of software as iOS 18 is expected to be one of the major updates this year.
