Vivo V60 5G India launch date has been leaked online, suggesting the device will debut in the country by mid-August. Furthermore, the device has already visited multiple certification websites which has also confirmed some of its key features. Here are all the details to know.
Vivo V60 5G India Launch Date
As tipped by Abhishek Yadav on X, the Vivo V60 5G may debut in India on August 16. His source also tells him that OriginOS based on Android 16 will debut in India alongside the launch. OriginOS is the software that runs on Vivo phones in China while FunTouch OS is what’s available in India.
Compared to FunTouchOS, OriginOS is known to be more polished and feature-rich. However, this is purely a speculation that OriginOS will come to India in August, so take it with a pinch of salt until an official announcement is made by the brand. It is also possible that the brand may introduce a revamped OriginOS-inspired UI in its FunTouchOS and call it FunTouch OS 16.

Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S26 series details have been leaked ahead of the devices’ launch that is expected to take place early next year. These details suggest that Samsung has replaced the Plus smartphone in the S-series with the Edge, will equip the S26 Ultra with new display technology, and more.
Samsung Galaxy S26 Series Details: What We Know
According to Korean outlet “The Elec,” the Galaxy S26 series will consist of three devices as usual, but there will be no Galaxy S26+. Instead, it will be replaced by the Galaxy S26 Edge, which will be the successor to this year’s Galaxy S25 Edge. Further, the report added that the Galaxy S26 will have a 6.27-inch display, the EDGE will have a 6.66-inch panel, and the Galaxy S26 Ultra will have the biggest 6.89-inch panel.
Speaking of displays, the Galaxy S26 Ultra will employ new display technology according tipster Ice Universe. This will be a CoE OLED panel, short for Color Filter on Encapsulation. This advanced display technology replaces the traditional polarizer with a color filter and swaps the usual Pixel definition layer (PDL) for a black PDL. The result is a thinner panel design that improves light transmittance.
Thanks to this new structure, the display is expected to be more power-efficient while delivering higher peak brightness. In other words, the screen not only becomes slimmer but also contributes to better battery life. Additionally, the tipster claims that Samsung will apply its latest anti-reflective coating on the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s display, further enhancing visibility and overall user experience.
Coming to cameras, German publication WinFuture revealed the optics’ details for model names NPA1, NPA2, and NPA3, which are believed to be the codenames for the three Galaxy S26 series phones. According to the leak, Galaxy S26 Ultra (NPA3) may have a 200MP main camera and a 50MP telephoto sensor with 5x optical zoom. The Galaxy S26 Edge (NPA2) could be getting a 50MP ultra-wide angle sensor, while the base model S26 may not receive any camera upgrades at all. The cameras may also become slimmer thanks to the use of inkjet printing with matte ink, which replaces the traditional film used to block light reflections and prevent light overlap within each lens module.
The 200MP sensor on the Ultra may be an upcoming sensor from Sony this time, instead of Samsung using its own HP2 sensor. The 50MP ultra-wide angle sensor on the S26 Edge would be a welcome upgrade over the 12MP sensor on the S25 Edge. The disappointment could lie in the base model S26, where the sensor setup would remain the same as the Galaxy S23 from nearly 3 years back at the time.
Battery details remain scarce for the Galaxy S26 and S26 Edge but for the S26 Ultra, it was recently revealed through a leak that the Galaxy S26 Ultra battery size is expected to be the same as previous seven generations of Ultra flagships, and that is 5000mAh. However, Samsung may have increased the battery density this time around, which means the battery size is substantially decreased.
This allows for more space within the device but Samsung hasn’t made use of it to add any new features. Instead, the leak said that the company may have used this advantage to make the device slimmer. Same battery size as the flagships from past 4 to 5 years could look like a disappointment but paired with the new efficient display and a more efficient chip, the performance may not be as bad as one would be expecting.
As for processor, it is rumoured that the Galaxy S26 series could pack the Exynos 2600 Chipset but only in Europe. After seeing a potentially successful rollout out of Exynos 2400 in the S24 series and potentially Exynos 2500 in the Galaxy Z Flip 7, Samsung may opt for Exynos in Europe again this time. However, rest of the world may get the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chip-powered models.
Samsung Galaxy F36 5G India launch has been teased by the brand on Flipkart and history tells us that it will likely be a rebranded M-series device, which in this case, should be the Galaxy M36 5G that was announced in late-June this year. Here’s everything to expect from the device.
Samsung Galaxy F36 5G India Launch Details
The Galaxy F36 5G India launch was confirmed via Flipkart where the device will be sold. While it doesn’t confirm any specs or other details, we see the device’s left profile along with the camera bump. The device is slated to be “coming soon.” Samsung has always rebranded its M-series devices as F-series phones and has sold them on Flipkart which will likely be the case with the F36 5G also.
The phone also appeared in Google’s Play Console database a few weeks ago, confirming the presence of an Exynos 1380 processor, 6GB RAM, and Android 15, which will be One UI 7.0. The chipset in use is the same as the Galaxy M36 5G. If other specifications of the device are also identical, then the Galaxy F36 5G will sports a 6.6-inch Full-HD+ sAMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, an Infinity-U notch, Gorilla Glass Victus+ protection, 1000 nits brightness, and 1080 x 2340 pixels resolution.
It is powered by the Exynos 1380 Chipset under the hood. It will pack a 5000mAh battery with 25W Fast charging support.
It will get up to 8GB RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage that is expandable up to 1TB via a microSD card. In terms of optics, there could be triple cameras on the back, consisting of a 50MP primary sensor with f/1.8 aperture, LED flash and OIS, an 8MP ultra-wide angle lens with f/2.2 aperture, and a 2MP Macro lens with f/2.4 aperture. The phone may get a 13MP f/2.2 snapper on the front for selfies.
The handset will have a single speaker and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. For connectivity, it gets Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth v5.3, NFC, GPS, and 5G. The handset also gets a USB-C port charging. It runs on Android 15-based One UI 7.0 and will receive 6 years of OS upgrades along with 6 years of security patches.
The device may start at Rs 17,499 in the country, keeping in mind the price of the Galaxy M36 5G.

Tesla has officially launched the Tesla Model Y in India, marking the electric vehicle (EV) giant’s long-awaited debut in one of the world’s fastest-growing auto markets. The launch took place at Tesla’s newly inaugurated showroom in Mumbai’s upscale Bandra Kurla Complex, with deliveries expected to begin in August.
Tesla Model Y: Price
The company has introduced two variants of the Model Y in India:
Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD): ₹59,89,000
Long-Range RWD: ₹67,89,000
While these are ex-showroom prices, the on-road price would depend on the paint of the car you choose, where stealth grey is included in the price while the Pearl White Multi-Coat and Diamond Black cost an additional ₹95,000 each, the Glacier Blue costs ₹1,25,000, and the Quicksilver and Ultra Red cost ₹1,85,000.
Further, if you include the black and white interior instead of the default all-black which is included, it will cost an additional ₹95,000. If you also include the Full Self-Driving Capability, that would cost an additional ₹6,00,000.
The deliveries are expected to take place in Q3 of this year. Tesla is accepting payments through card and UPI. The self-driving capability is expected to be added through future updates.
Tesla Model Y: Features
The Tesla Model Y is a mid-sized all-electric SUV that blends premium design with practical utility and impressive electric performance. It offers a sleek, aerodynamic exterior with a panoramic glass roof and minimalistic interiors typical of Tesla’s design philosophy. The five-seater vehicle comes with a large touchscreen interface that controls nearly all in-car functions, and it includes built-in navigation, entertainment apps, and Tesla’s advanced voice command system. The cabin features vegan leather upholstery, a high-quality sound system, and a spacious boot with additional front trunk storage, making it ideal for both city and long-distance travel.
Under the hood—or rather, under the floor—the Model Y uses a rear-mounted electric motor powered by a lithium-ion battery pack. The base RWD variant is capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in approximately 5.6 seconds and offers an estimated WLTP range of around 500 kilometers on a full charge. The Long-Range RWD model improves on that with a quicker 0–100 km/h time of 5.9 seconds and a longer range of about 622 kilometers. The car also includes regenerative braking, which helps maximize efficiency and driving range.
Safety remains a strong focus, with the Model Y featuring multiple airbags, collision avoidance systems, automatic emergency braking, and lane-keeping assist. Tesla’s Proprietary Autopilot technology is also included, and the full self-driving capability will be added with future updates.
Doors and boots unlock when you approach the vehicle. Enhanced connectivity and signal range keep you and your vehicle in sync. Bluetooth capability keeps passengers entertained. Power recline second-row seats fold flat to expand your boot space to a total of 2,130+ litres of storage.
An upgraded, ultra-responsive 15.4-inch touchscreen sits at the centre of your driving experience and an 8-inch touchscreen gives access to second-row passengers. With over-the-air updates, you’ll always have access to the latest features. Then, there are illuminated warning lights and on-screen visualisations to help you safely check your surroundings.
The Model Y supports both AC and DC fast charging, and Tesla has started importing Superchargers to set up its charging network in major Indian cities. The vehicle is compatible with global charging standards and can also be charged at home using a wall connector.
The Samsung Galaxy M36 5G launched a while back in India with a starting price of Rs 17,499 and Samsung has made some interesting, or rather we should say, questionable choices with it, where some of its specifications have been downgraded over its predecessor. However, the brand also reduced the price of the phone by Rs 2,500 compared to the Galaxy M35 5G. Do these changes make sense and are they worth the new lowered price tag? We’ll help you make a decision through our Samsung Galaxy M36 5G review.
Design & Display
The design has definitely been upgraded over the Galaxy M35 5G. The Galaxy M36 5G, in this new Orange Haze shade, looks gorgeous. The camera module has been redesigned to include this new pill shape along with an outlining which further elevates the look of the module.
The back panel is polycarbonate and attracts a lot of fingerprints but Orange Haze is definitely the colour to opt for with the Galaxy M36 5G if you are aiming to get a device with a unique look. The frame is plastic but again, the device doesn’t feel cheap by any means.
It is also not too heavy but because it is on the bigger side, you can forget using it with one hand. The buttons feel tactile and the fingerprint sensor on the right-hand side works without any issues. It’s fast and accurate in detecting the fingerprint, so no issues in that department.
Speaking of downgrades, the first one is the switch from stereo speakers on the M35 5G to a single bottom-mounted speaker on the Galaxy Samsung M36 5G. Despite the fact that the speaker sounds decent on the M36 5G, it still won’t match the experience of stereo speakers. The single speaker in the Samsung Galaxy M36 5G is loud enough and has clarity as well as good instrument separation as well.
The regular vibration motor does its job as it should and rattles when it has to, but that’s where you feel that this is a budget device.
Speaking of the display, it has the same protection as last year’s Galaxy M35 5G, and that’s the Gorilla Glass Victus+. It is a 6.6-inch Full-HD+ sAMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, an Infinity-U notch, and 1080 x 2340 pixels resolution.
The downgrade? It’s the Infinity-U notch which has replaced the punch-hole notch we saw in the Galaxy M35 5G. As much as it looks beautiful from the back, this notch makes the Samsung Galaxy M36 5G look dated from the front. However, the panel itself is quite bright and shows super vibrant colours. Viewing angles are excellent and so is the sharpness. Aside from the notch, I don’t have any complaints from this display. It’s one of the best you can get at this price point in terms of quality.
Software & Performance
The Samsung Galaxy M36 5G has the same chip as its predecessor, and that’s the Exynos 1380, paired with up to 8GB RAM and up to 256GB of storage. This is not the best Exynos chip for performance and that shows even in daily use. I could face micro stutters and slowdowns during normal use like when using Instagram or Telegram which are some of the most basic apps, or when switching through apps.
While the device doesn’t heat up easily which is a major plus point, the performance of the handset can let you down sometimes. Aside from that, when it works, the animations feel and look smooth, thanks to One UI 7.
The only major upgrade here we see is the extended software support where you’ll get 6 generations of OS updates compared to 4 on the Galaxy M35 5G. However, with the performance I have seen, I doubt how well the device would hold up for 6 years if you plan to keep it for that long.
The device also got the May 2025 security patch a week ago but considering it’s July, I expected at least the June patch to arrive.
You can do casual gaming on the device without any major lag. However, titles like Call of Duty and BGMI could push the device to its limits where it could struggle to keep up.
However, software is where no phone in this price range can even touch the Galaxy M36 5G. Let alone the extended software support, you also get some AI features like object eraser, Google’s Gemini, all of which work quite decently. The software is polished and is also very stable without any bugs. Yes, there’s some amount of preloaded apps like Microsoft’s apps, Truecaller, Glance lockscreen, Meta App installer, PhonePe, etc., but all of this can fortunately be uninstalled.
The separated quick settings and notifications shade is also present which was introduced in One UI 7, along with Auto Blocker, various motions and gestures like double tap to wake or sleep, video effects, game mode, Virtual RAM extension through RAM Plus, and much more. You can set wallpaper-based colours, change icons, enable EDGE panels, apply themes, and a lot more, in terms of customisation.
Then there’s also the Now Bar that can show you the currently playing media, match scores of your favorite team, Samsung health notifications, and more. Again, if you are looking for a stable experience that’s feature packed, you can’t go wrong with One UI 7.
Coming to the downside, I didn’t find the option for Always-on display which is a bummer considering other phones at this price point do offer it.
Connectivity performance, including that of 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC, remained optimal.
Battery & Charging
The Samsung Galaxy M36 5G packs a 5000mAh battery with 25W fast wired charging. Again, we see a notable downgrade here over the Galaxy M35 5G, as it packed a 6000mAh battery. The battery backup of the Galaxy M36 5G is still decent as it can get you through a day easily.
It got me around 6 hours of screen-on time and sometimes slightly more with moderate use, which included scrolling through Instagram, browsing Chrome, chatting on WhatsApp and Telegram, listening to music, casual gaming for about half an hour, and watching YouTube. The battery stats are good, but could’ve been better considering what I have seen on other devices and on the Galaxy M35 5G itself. If go out pushing it to its boundaries with demanding tasks, you may have to top it up mid-day.
Charging times are decent but again not the best. It took the device around 1 hour 15 minutes to charge from 0 to 100%. I have definitely witnessed faster charging speeds from the competition.
Cameras
The Samsung Galaxy M36 5G gets a triple camera setup on the back, same as the M35 5G, including a 50MP primary sensor with f/1.8 aperture, LED flash and OIS, an 8MP ultra-wide angle lens with f/2.2 aperture, and a 2MP Macro lens with f/2.4 aperture. The phone gets a 13MP f/2.2 snapper on the front for selfies.
The camera genuinely surprised me, delivering photos that looked like they were taken on a device from a higher price segment.
Outdoor shots have a sufficient amount of details and camera captures quite detailed photos, too. There’s ample sharpness in the shots and the dynamic range is on point as well. The shutter lag is evident sometimes but that’s not a major issue.
Colour shift in ultra-wide angle shots is minimal so that’s good news. However, don’t expect a lot of detailing in such shots if you go Pixel peeping. They are softer than the shots from the main sensor and also lack proper edge distortion correction due to which the shots get overly stretched and lack further details at the edges.
Portrait photos are no disappointment at all. You get high sharpness, good exposure control, fast auto-focus, and great colours. However, edge detection could be a hit or miss due to which the blur effect could overlap the subject at times.
Selfies from the front-facing camera are good in terms of colours and dynamic range. The skin tones can look slightly warmer than natural under certain circumstances but despite that, the shot looks decent with a good amount of detailing on offer.
Shots under artificial lighting retain a vibrant colour tone and high amount of detailing. The shutter speed can be a bit slow at times but the shots come out super impressive. The device also can auto focus at good speed under such lighting. The sharpness is on point and so is the overall quality of the photos. Macro shots from the tertiary sensor, however, aren’t the most useful and lack detailing.
Low-light shots are surprisingly solid as well. The level of detail is excellent, and there’s virtually no noise—something that’s often noticeable in photos from devices in this price range.
Turning on Night mode boosts the exposure just enough to brighten the scene and deliver a clearer image, as expected. Even in near-total darkness, noise levels remain impressively low. That said, keeping your hands steady is crucial—my shot ended up slightly blurred despite good overall clarity, simply because of a minor shake.
