vivo Y100 4G is official with 80W fast charging

A vivo phone was launched in several Asian countries under the name Y100 4G. The smartphone comes with a big battery with plenty of fast charging and is powered by a Snapdragon 685. These specs sound familiar because it is not a new smartphone; in a true vivo fashion, this is a vivo V30 Lite, renamed for different markets.

The Y100 4G shares a footprint with a handful of other vivo devices, but most of them have a 5G-enabled Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chipset and an 8 MP ultrawide camera that acts as a secondary to the 50 MP main cam. Here the camera combo is 50 MP + 2 MP.

vivo X100s live images surface ahead of launch

The vivo X100s launching this month recently appeared in an official teaser, and now we are looking at its live images that surfaced on Weibo, giving us a better look at the smartphone.

The vivo X100s’ rear looks similar to the vivo X100, sporting a circular camera island. However, while the X100’s camera module has a Moon Halo design, the X100s’ design looks similar to the X100 Pro’s Sun Halo design, with some camera specs written on the ring around the cameras.

Google Pixel 8a marketing materials leak

The Google Pixel 8a’s official announcement is still more than ten days away. And yet, we’re now at the stage where we’re seeing at least one leak regarding it each and every day, if not two.

Today’s leak seems to basically be the Google website listing for the Pixel 8a, obviously prepared in advance for the launch. It’s unclear if this was made live for a short while by mistake, or if it was leaked from inside the website’s development team.

New Sony Xperia 1 VI leak details the cameras, chipset, and battery

Sony is expected to unveil the Xperia 1 VI flagship smartphone at its event on May 17. While we’ve heard a few things about it over the last few weeks, today a new rumor brings us more details, including the leaked renders you can see below.

So let’s dive in. Unsurprisingly, the Xperia 1 VI will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. It will come with a 16mm ultrawide camera, a 24mm main camera (48mm with 2x optical zoom), and an 85-170mm telephoto zoom camera.

The zoom camera goes further than the Xperia 1 V’s which maxed out at 125mm, but the other specs seem identical….

High-end MediaTek-powered smartphone to land in the US for the first time this year

The Android smartphone market in the US is quite different from Europe or Asia, in that there are fewer options, especially at the mid-range and low-end. But even when we’re talking high-end, one thing is obvious – all of the top shelf devices in that market use a Qualcomm chipset. No MediaTek anywhere (and no Exynos either, for what it’s worth). And that’s despite the fact that MediaTek’s 9000 series chips have, for a few years now, been very close in performance to Qualcomm’s latest and greatest.

The situation will thankfully change later this year, when, for the first time, a “premium”…

vivo Y38 5G quietly goes official with Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 SoC, 6,000 mAh battery

vivo has introduced a new lower-midrange smartphone in Taiwan today – meet the Y38. There was no announcement or anything like that, the phone was just listed on vivo’s official website for Taiwan. We doubt it will only be sold over there, so expect it to make its way to other markets soon.

The vivo Y38 comes with a 6.68-inch 720×1612 120 Hz LCD touchscreen, and it’s powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chipset. This is paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage, which is expandable via microSDs up to 1TB.

The phone has a 50 MP main rear camera with a 2 MP depth sensor…
