vivo X200 FE brings flagship specs and a 6,500mAh battery in compact body
It's a good day for compact phone lovers as the vivo X200 FE is now official. The device was announced in Taiwan and is expected to make its way to global markets soon. It brings a capable specs sheet featuring a 6.31-inch AMOLED, four 50MP cameras and a massive 6,500mAh battery, all packed in a body that's just under 72mm wide and 151mm tall.
The latest addition in the X200 series flaunts a 6.31-inch AMOLED (FHD+ 120Hz) with an integrated fingerprint scanner and a 50MP selfie cam. The X200 FE's exact dimensions are 150.83 x 71.76 x 7.99mm, and it weighs 186 grams. It is IP68 and IP69 rated against water and dust.
One of the more impressive feats on the X200 FE is its battery. Vivo fitted a huge 6,500mAh silicon carbon battery, which supports 90W charging. This cell should last for over 25 hours of YouTube playback and 9.5 hours of gaming, according to vivo's internal tests. When you do need to recharge, a full charge takes just 57 minutes.
X200 FE is powered by a MediaTek chipset, more specifically the Dimensity 9300+ SoC which is paired with up to 12GB LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB UFS 3.1 storage.
The back houses a trio of 50MP cameras with Zeiss optics. There's a 50MP main lens (IMX921) with f/1.88 aperture and OIS. You also get a 1/2-inch 50MP prism periscope (IMX882) with f/2.65 aperture and an 8MP ultrawide module.

Carl Pei roasts Sennheiser's design days before Nothing unveils its first high-end headphones
In a now-deleted post, Sennheiser's official Reddit account has allegedly made fun of the upcoming Nothing Headphone (1). Now, Carl Pei is returning the favor:Nothing's CEO and co-founder is pretty straightforward about Sennheiser design and says its headphones "look like PC cooling fans". Then, to keep it friendly, Carl Pei says that he has used his Sennheiser HD650 headphones for ten is the perfect time for such social media provocations, since the Headphone (1) – Nothing's debut on the high-end headphone arena – is nearing: the premiere date is set for July 1. That's when the Nothing Phone (3) is also expected to drop with its (almost) flagship-grade Headphone (1) will reportedly be available in just two color options (black and white) and these could be priced around €300 (or approximately $320). Such a price clearly positions them in the premium audio segment, but I'm eager to know more about their drivers and specs. I have a couple of headphones that "look like PC cooling fans" at home – two pairs of Sennheiser headphones – and I'm extremely satisfied with what those are able to achieve (when hooked to a proper headphone amp). Meanwhile, there are some leaked regulatory listings of the Headphone (1). Spotted on certification sites in Taiwan, the UAE, Finland, and Malaysia, the headphones carry the model number B170 and appear ready for global release. The design includes black oval earcups, a rectangular frame, and a transparent, cassette tape-style accent, continuing Nothing's retro-tech aesthetic. Functionally, the headphones appear to include a toggle switch (likely for ANC or power), a mic, USB-C port, and a 3.5mm jack. Accessory cables are also expected in the box. Battery and charging details from the EU certification reveal a 520mAh capacity and 5W charging support. Secure your connection now at a bargain price!

Huawei FreeBuds 6 review: hype vs reality
Huawei has recently dropped a brand-new set of open-fit earbuds. In the style of old EarPods or the non-Pro AirPods, these don't go all the way inside your ears and can be more comfortable for users that dislike the in-ear feel. The case and bud design have also been refreshed to something that looks a bit odd, a bit alien, but I appreciate Huawei trying to change a formula that has become a bit stale and boring in recent years. Additionally, the FreeBuds 6 come with impressive specs — dual driver design, 14 Hz to 48 kHz sound reproduction, dual point connectivity, and a combination of tap and swipe controls for perfect interaction. The question now is... does it deliver? Huawei FreeBuds 6 specs Huawei FreeBuds 6 design and colors The Huawei FreeBuds 6 are something different and that's immediately apparent when you see their charge case. It's like a flattened egg shape, with a very smooth matte finish — kind of looks like a gadget from an old Star Trek episode. The case flap has a diagonal cut, too, so nothing about this case looks like most other earbuds on the market. The case shape and finish ensure that it slides comfortably into almost any pocket. The FreeBuds 6 definitely come with a good selection of audio codecs, ensuring you will be getting the best out of both Apple (AAC) and Android (LDAC) devices. L2HC4.0 seems to be some sort of Huawei exclusive, only available with devices running EMUI15 and above. Notably, these headphones don't support LHDC and aptX, but we can't say we miss them with what's available on hand. Maybe gamers might be disappointed from the lack of low-latency Huawei FreeBuds 6 are something different and that's immediately apparent when you see their charge case. It's like a flattened egg shape, with a very smooth matte finish — kind of looks like a gadget from an old Star Trek episode. The case flap has a diagonal cut, too, so nothing about this case looks like most other earbuds on the market. The case shape and finish ensure that it slides comfortably into almost any pocket. The surprises don't end there, as the earbuds themselves have an odd shape. They are an open-fit, so no eartip silicone, that's expected. But their stems have a bit of a tub at the end, too, giving the whole bud an almost hourglass-type shape. And yes, I see it — it's definitely an acquired taste. Huawei tried something different, they seem to think it's a cool lifestyle gadget to accessorise with, I guess the market will decide if the shape is liked or not. The box contains two sizes of silicone "sleeves" for the buds. In case you have slightly larger earlobes, these can provide a better fit and an extra bit of grip to keep the buds in. Definitely a nice touch, and I can see people who like to go for a jog with their buds using this. The stems offer touch controls. Tap to play, double-tap for next, triple-tap for previous. Swiping up and down controls volume, and tap and hold will toggle the noise reduction. I am generally not a big fan of tap controls, but when a model has them — it is what it is. However, the FreeBuds 6 are also a bit slow to respond, which is usually the extra-annoying part, as you have half a second to wonder if your tap registered or not. Receive the latest Accessories news By subscribing you agree to our terms and conditions and privacy policy The Huawei FreeBuds 6 come in three colors — understated Black, clean White, and this flashy Purple that we have here. Huawei FreeBuds 6 sound quality Out of the box, on default settings, the FreeBuds 6 don't sound amazing. I do recommend installing the Huawei AI Life app for its extra settings (it's not on the Play Store, it's here ), but since Huawei is not on the official Google Play Store — that may be tricky. I found that it can be side-loaded on some Android phones no problem, then not work on others. Something to definitely keep in mind if you are looking at those buds. So, by default, how do the FreeBuds 6 sound? Their specs promise a lot, with dual drivers and bass frequencies that go as low as 14 Hz. Now, I know that I can't hear 14 Hz and I am pretty sure no human being out there can, but it's assumed that this implies deep, cushy bass. We don't get this with the FreeBuds 6. It's not that they don't have bass — the low end is there, it's just... fine. Not boomy, heavy, cushy, or big, but you can hear the bass guitar. The first impressions you might get as you fire up your first song will be "Wow, these sound crisp and clear", but that'll be until the vocals come on. While these have an ok, sort-of-weak bass, they do have a harsh upper midrange frequency (again, by default, the app can fix that). Their highs are present, but not shimmering or sweet. In general, their sound has nothing extra special going for it, despite their looks and specs suggesting otherwise. I already alluded to that, but the app is a make-it or break-it here. I absolutely found that the Hi-Fi Live preset within the app does fix a lot. It scoops out the aforementioned high mids, adds a nice bass bump, and sweetens up the highs. To me, this is what the default sound of these earbuds should be, and I wouldn't use them without being able to access the app and change that. You can also tap the plus sign in the top right to make your own custom EQ profile, but I was happy enough with Hi-Fi Live. Huawei FreeBuds 6 noise reduction You probably have noticed that I am not calling it Active Noise Cancelation, as the open design of these buds makes it hard to actually... cancel noise. Huawei itself calls it Noise Reduction in the specs. But that's not to say that it's not a good feature. I am actually quite impressed by how much these are able to reduce outsude sources. Of course, they work better versus lower-end hums and brums, while high-pitched sounds will be more audible. But, in general, if you want to increase inner zen and don't feel like sticking pointy silicone tips inside your ears, these offer a good alternative. Huawei FreeBuds 6 connectivity I've had no issue connecting these to my laptop, multiple Android devices, even an iPhone and iPad. They do support Bluetooth Multipoint, which allows them to stay connected to two devices at the same time and actively switch sources when a new sound is played from the next one. The app also conveniently "remembers" a list of your paired devices, so you can select or delete them from there. Unfortunately, since Huawei is a bit of a persona non grata in the western Android world, it doesn't support Fast Pair — you won't get the fancy pop-up on your phone screen when you bring the buds next to the phone for the first time. But if you own a Huawei phone, they do have their own fast pairing, which works in the way you would expect. Huawei FreeBuds 6 battery life With those chubby stems and otherworldly case, you'd expect the FreeBuds 6 to offer a phenomenal battery life or something. Unfortunately, that's not the case. In fact, they are slightly below the average of what I would expect in a 2025 set of buds. But it also depends on whether you choose "Prioritize sound quality" or "Prioritize connection" from the app. Yes, the app — again. By default, the FreeBuds 6 are set to the sound quality option. Huawei FreeBuds 6, should you buy them? The FreeBuds 6 may not be officially available in the US, but you can pick them up for about the same price as a set of Nothing Ears third gen. The prices are also comparable over in Europe, with the FreeBuds 6 being a tiny bit more expensive as of right now. As it stands, recommending the FreeBuds 6 comes with two huge asterisks. One, do you like the shape and obvious fashion statement that they are? And two — are you able to install and run the AI Life app , as it's kind of vital to squeeze a good sound out of them? If the answer to both is "Yes", I might wince and give you a conditional "Maybe they'll work for you". Huawei Freebuds 6 open fit buds with ANC Available in all three colors — Black, White, and Purple. Newest mode open-fit earbuds from Huawei. SBC, AAC, LDAC. Buy at Amazon Nothing Ear $30 off (19%) Third generation of Nothing Ear buds — advanced EQ, custom 11 mm ceramic driver, ChatGPT integration. Black and White available Buy at Amazon Apple AirPods 4 without ANC $10 off (8%) The most affordable AirPods from Apple offer great fit and an upgraded design with shorter stems and squeeze controls. Advanced codec — AAC only. Buy at Amazon What the FreeBuds 6 is doing right is the open design — there aren't many earbuds out there that cater to people who dislike in-ears. I respect that — the only true competitor that does the same is the Apple AirPods 4 . The non-ANC variant costs about the same as the FreeBuds 6, the one with ANC is a shiny 50 more (your currency of choice). But, I can't twist it. The AirPods 4 do sound better out of the box. So, pick the FreeBuds 6 if you are feeling a bit more adventurous, or you can't resist that shiny purple model!

Galaxy Z Flip7 and Flip7 FE leak again, new renders offer best look yet
Galaxy Z Flip7 and Flip7 FE leak again, new renders offer best look yet The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 and Flip7 FE are expected to launch alongside the Galaxy Z Fold7 at Samsung Unpacked on July 9 and Evan Blass shared a new set of renders for the two flip foldables, giving us our best look yet. Galaxy Z Flip7 is shown in Jet Black, Blue Shadow and Coral Red, which are expected to be the three official color options. Samsung is also likely to launch exclusive color options through but we don't get any info on those for now. Galaxy Z Flip7 in Jet Black, Blue Shadow and Coral Red (credit: Evan Blass) The big design change with the Z Flip7 is its updated cover screen, which now encompasses the entire area with the only cutouts for the two cameras and the LED flash. Based on rumors, the Flip7 is getting a 4-inch Super AMOLED cover screen, up from the 3.4-inch panel on its predecessor. Speaking of the Z Flip6, the upcoming Flip7 FE is basically a carbon copy of that device, featuring the same basic design and the 3.4-inch folder-shaped cover screen. Flip7 FE will be available in less flashy Black and White colors. Galaxy Z Flip7 FE in Black and White (credit: Evan Blass) Both phones are rumored to launch with Samsung's Exynos 2500 which was just unveiled earlier today.
