realme P4 5G Review: A True Mid-Range Game Changer?
realme has carved its space in the mid-range smartphone market with the P series, blending performance and affordability. The latest addition, P4, expected to be launched on 20 August 2025, continues this legacy with fresh upgrades. Let's delve into the main features, drawbacks and pricing of the realme P4 5G in Bangladesh.
Key Features of realme P4 5G
.
Design and Build Quality
The realme P4 5G takes a big leap forward in terms of design, offering a sleeker profile and a more polished finish than the realme P3. At 185 grams, it feels noticeably lighter in hand compared to the P3’s 194 g, making it more comfortable for long usage.
The frame feels sturdy, with a refined matte texture that prevents smudges, while its IP68/IP69 rating ensures durability against dust and water exposure. This is an upgrade over the Samsung Galaxy A17, which only offers IP54 protection, making the P4 more reliable for users who live in environments prone to dust or heavy rain.

On the other hand, the Motorola Moto G56 matches the P4 with its rugged IP68/IP69 resistance, even going a step further with MIL-STD-810H compliance for drop resistance. While Moto’s build favours ruggedness, the realme P4 strikes the right balance between style and toughness, leaning more towards premium aesthetics without sacrificing durability.
Display Quality
The 6.77-inch HyperGlow AMOLED panel with HDR10+ support is where the realme P4 truly shines. With a maximum of 144Hz refresh rate, 1080 by 2392 resolutions, and 4500 nits peak brightness, it easily outclasses the realme P3’s 120Hz AMOLED panel capped at 2000 nits. The jump in refresh rate makes animations smoother, gaming more fluid, and everyday scrolling an absolute delight.
Compared to the Samsung Galaxy A17, which only offers a 90 Hz Super AMOLED display, the P4’s screen feels far more responsive, particularly for gaming and high-frame-rate video playback. Meanwhile, the Moto G56 packs a 120Hz IPS LCD panel, which, although solid, lacks the deep blacks and vibrant colour reproduction of the P4’s AMOLED display. Overall, the realme P4 clearly outshines its competitors in the display department, positioning itself as a strong mid-range entertainment device.

Camera Performance
realme has packed the P4 with a dual (50 MP + 8 MP) rear setup. Its 50 MP AI primary rear sensor features a 5P lens, f/1.8 aperture, 27 mm focal length, and a 76-degree field of view. The other rear sensor is an 8 MP wide-angle camera that offers a 5P lens, f/2.2 aperture, 16 mm focal length, and a 112-degree field of view. The primary rear sensor can shoot at most 4K footage at 30 fps.
P4 5G also bears a standard 16 MP AI selfie shooter. It is a 4P lens with an f/2.4 aperture and an 85-degree field of view. It can capture a maximum of 1080-pixel video footage at 30 fps.
Daylight shots pop with colour accuracy, while low-light photography benefits from better noise reduction and optical image stabilisation (OIS)—a feature missing on the P3. The Samsung Galaxy A17 offers a triple-lens system with an ultrawide sensor, which gives it more versatility in framing, but its 13 MP selfie camera pales in comparison to the P4’s 16 MP front shooter.
Meanwhile, the Moto G56 also boasts a solid dual setup, with a 50 MP main sensor and an ultrawide lens, plus a 32 MP selfie camera.
However, realme P4 competes with good video stabilisation and selfie performance, making it particularly appealing for vloggers and social media creators.

Processor Performance
At its core, the realme P4 5G runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Ultra, paired with an Adreno 810 GPU. Compared to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 powering the P3, the Dimensity chip feels more optimised for multitasking, app switching, and power efficiency. Apps launch quicker, and even heavy workloads like video editing or running multiple apps in the background are handled effortlessly.
Against the Samsung Galaxy A17’s Exynos 1330, the P4 feels significantly faster, with less stutter during prolonged usage. The Moto G56’s Dimensity 7060 offers strong competition, but the 7400 Ultra delivers slightly higher clock speeds and better GPU stability, giving the P4 the upper hand in raw performance. Simply put, the realme P4 5G offers flagship-level smoothness at a mid-range price point, easily outperforming both its predecessor and some of its closest rivals.
Gaming Performance
Gaming is where the realme P4 truly earns its place as a mid-range powerhouse. Titles like PUBG Mobile, Call of Duty, and Genshin Impact run effortlessly on high settings, maintaining stable frame rates without excessive heating. The 144Hz refresh rate display enhances gameplay fluidity, while the upgraded cooling system prevents throttling during extended sessions—a problem the realme P3 occasionally faced under load.

Compared to the Samsung Galaxy A17, which maxes out at 90 Hz and struggles with demanding titles at higher settings, the P4 is leagues ahead. The Moto G56 also delivers a strong performance thanks to its Dimensity 7060 and 120Hz display, but it does not match the same buttery-smooth experience as the P4’s 144Hz AMOLED. If you are a mobile gamer, the realme P4 5G offers one of the best gaming experiences under 40,000 Taka.
Battery Life
One of the biggest upgrades in the realme P4 5G is its massive 7000 mAh battery, a huge step up from the 6000 mAh unit in the P3. With this battery size, the P4 can easily last two full days on moderate use, even with the high refresh rate enabled. realme pairs it with 80W fast charging, capable of reaching 50% in just 25 minutes—an improvement over the P3’s 45W charging.
Compared to competitors, the Samsung Galaxy A17’s 5000 mAh battery with 25 W charging feels underwhelming, while the Moto G56’s 5200 mAh unit with 30 W charging is solid but still falls short of the P4’s incredible endurance and charging speed. For heavy users who stream, game, and multitask, the P4 sets a new benchmark in battery reliability.

Software and User Interface
The realme P4 5G ships with Android 15 layered with realme UI 6.0, offering a clean, fluid, and customisable experience. Compared to the P3, which also launched with Android 15, the P4 feels slightly more optimised thanks to performance tweaks tailored for the new chipset. While Samsung’s One UI 7 on the Galaxy A17 offers longer update support, Realme’s UI feels lighter and less bloated, appealing to users who prefer speed over excessive features.
The Moto G56’s near-stock Android 15 experience is great for purists, but Realme’s additional features like Smart Sidebar, enhanced privacy tools, and UI customisation provide a nice balance of simplicity and functionality. Overall, the P4 offers a polished software experience that bridges the gap between stock Android and heavily customised skins.
Storage Options
realme provides the P4 with 6GB or 8GB of RAM and storage variants of 128GB and 256GB, expandable via microSDXC using the hybrid SIM slot. It is equipped with UFS 3.1 mechanism.
This mirrors the storage flexibility of the realme P3 but with faster optimisation under the new chipset. Against the Samsung Galaxy A17, which maxes out at 256 GB, and the Moto G56, which goes up to 512 GB with 12 GB RAM, the P4 sits comfortably in the middle ground.

Epic Games wins partial victory in Australian court against Google and Apple
Epic Games, the creator of the popular online game Fortnite, secured a partial win Tuesday in its legal battle against Google and Apple in Australia over alleged anti-competitive practices in their app stores.
The case, led by Epic’s U.S. billionaire CEO Tim Sweeney, accused the tech giants of abusing their market dominance to stifle competition and impose restrictive trade practices.
Federal Court Justice Jonathan Beach upheld key parts of Epic’s claims, finding that Google and Apple’s control of the app market substantially reduced competition and breached Australian competition laws. However, he rejected some of Epic’s allegations, including claims of unconscionable conduct under Australian law.
The ruling follows litigation launched in August 2020 after both companies removed Fortnite from their app stores when Epic introduced a direct payment system, bypassing their platforms’ billing systems. Beach found that both Google and Apple pressured app developers, including Epic, through contracts and technology to sell exclusively via their app stores.
YouTube to test AI-based age verification system in U.S.
Epic hailed the decision, saying it would allow its Epic Games Store and Fortnite to launch on Apple’s iOS in Australia. “An Australian court just found that Apple and Google abuse their control over app distribution and in-app payments to limit competition,” the company said, calling it a “win for developers and consumers.”
Apple welcomed the court’s dismissal of some claims but said it “strongly disagrees” with other findings. Google also disagreed with aspects of the ruling, saying it would review the decision. Both companies could appeal to the Federal Court’s full bench.
Justice Beach has yet to release his full judgments — 952 pages on Apple and 914 pages on Google — but delivered a 90-minute oral summary of his findings. A separate hearing will be scheduled to determine potential damages owed to Epic.

Delivery drones set to expand into more U.S. neighborhoods after sluggish rollout
Delivery drones that can transport ice cream before it melts have been slow to gain traction in the United States, despite the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approving commercial home deliveries more than six years ago. The service has largely been limited to certain suburbs and rural areas, but that could soon change.
Last week, the FAA proposed a rule to make it easier for companies to operate drones beyond the pilot’s line of sight, potentially enabling deliveries over longer distances without the need for waivers or air carrier certification. Retailers and drone firms testing such services say the change could bring drone deliveries to millions more households.
Walmart, working with Alphabet-owned Wing, currently delivers from 18 Dallas-area stores and plans to expand to 100 locations in Atlanta, Charlotte, Houston, Orlando, and Tampa by next summer. Amazon, which launched Prime Air in Texas in 2022, has expanded beyond pilot sight operations to areas including suburban Phoenix, with more locations planned in Dallas, San Antonio, and Kansas City. Other companies like Zipline and Flytrex have also been active in drone delivery abroad and in select U.S. markets.
Wing CEO Adam Woodworth said U.S. drone delivery had been “in treading water mode” due to regulatory hurdles but believes the market is now reaching a point where demand, technology, and rules are aligning. DoorDash, working with Wing and Flytrex, has tested drone food deliveries in Virginia and Dallas, with expansion to Charlotte underway. While the novelty remains, common items delivered by drones include ice cream, eggs, and candy.
Trump’s tariffs may mean Walmart shoppers pay more, his treasury chief acknowledges
Drones generally carry one small order at a time, with Wing’s models able to handle up to 2.5 pounds over a 12-mile round trip and Zipline’s up to 4 pounds over 120 miles. Amazon’s drones can carry heavier loads. Packages are secured to drones, which then follow automated routes avoiding obstacles before lowering items via retractable cords.
Advocates cite reduced emissions, faster delivery of critical supplies, and improved rural access as benefits. However, challenges include high costs — currently around $13.50 per drone delivery compared to $2 by vehicle — weather limitations, and safety risks. Privacy and noise complaints have also been raised in areas with drone operations, though some residents have embraced the service.
Businesses report positive impacts. A Texas restaurant owner said his DoorDash orders increased 15% since offering drone delivery, and customers have praised its reliability. Some residents, like Frisco, Texas, customer Janet Toth, say drone delivery has become a regular convenience — and a spectacle for her young daughter and friends.

Elon Musk threatens to sue Apple over App Store rankings
Elon Musk says he plans to sue Apple for allegedly excluding his social media platform X and its AI chatbot app Grok from the App Store’s featured app sections.
Late Monday, Musk posted on X questioning Apple’s decision: “Hey @Apple App Store, why won’t you include X or Grok in your ‘Must Have’ section when X is the #1 news app globally and Grok ranks #5 overall? Are you playing politics?”
Grok is developed by Musk’s AI company, xAI.
Musk accused Apple of creating conditions that prevent any AI company other than OpenAI from reaching the top of the App Store rankings, calling it a “clear antitrust violation.” He said xAI would pursue legal action immediately, though he didn’t provide specifics.
Apple has not yet responded publicly.
This comes amid ongoing scrutiny of Apple’s App Store practices. A U.S. federal judge recently ruled that Apple violated an injunction in an antitrust lawsuit filed by Fortnite developer Epic Games.
In Europe, the EU fined Apple €500 million earlier this year for restricting app developers from directing users to cheaper payment options outside of the App Store. In a separate case last year, the EU also fined Apple nearly $2 billion for favoring its own music service over rivals like Spotify.
As of Tuesday morning, Apple’s top apps included TikTok, Tinder, Duolingo, YouTube, and Bumble, with ChatGPT from OpenAI ranking seventh.

Trump’s proposed 100% chip tariff sparks confusion among businesses and global trade partners
President Donald Trump’s recent proposal to impose a 100% tariff on imported computer chips not made in the U.S. is causing widespread uncertainty among businesses and trade partners. While the announcement boosted shares of major semiconductor companies, smaller chipmakers and electronics firms are scrambling to understand what it actually means.
“We’re still waiting for official clarification,” said Limor Fried, founder of New York-based electronics manufacturer Adafruit Industries. Her company sources chips through U.S. distributors as well as directly from suppliers in Taiwan and the Philippines. If those chips are not exempt, she says, it could significantly raise production costs, since semiconductors are among the most expensive parts in their products.
Fried added that in past situations, they often didn’t know the financial impact of new tariffs until receiving the bill, forcing them to adjust prices afterward.
The U.S. imports a relatively small amount of standalone chips; most come already embedded in finished products — like phones or cars — by the time they arrive. What’s unclear now is whether tariffs would apply to chips inside these finished goods.
“The big question is whether the tariff will also apply to components — meaning chips inside devices might require separate tariff assessments,” said Martin Chorzempa, an economist at the Peterson Institute for International Economics.
On Wednesday, Trump stated that companies with ongoing or planned chip manufacturing operations in the U.S. would be exempt from the tariff — even if they’re not yet producing domestically. “If you’re building in the United States of America, there’s no charge,” Trump said during a meeting with Apple CEO Tim Cook.
This was seen as a positive sign for large firms like Intel and Nvidia, as well as global players like Samsung and Taiwan Semiconductor (TSMC), both of which are building factories in the U.S. However, the announcement has left smaller chip producers, particularly those in Europe and Asia with limited involvement in AI, in a state of uncertainty.
German chipmaker Infineon Technologies — a key supplier for the auto industry — said it couldn’t comment due to the lack of official documentation.
Smaller firms may struggle to secure exemptions or invest in U.S.-based manufacturing, Chorzempa noted, because they lack the capital or market influence of bigger players.
It’s also unclear how this policy would interact with Trump’s existing trade agreements, such as those with the EU, Japan, and South Korea, which already include general tariffs capped at 15%.
The Semiconductor Industry Association said Thursday it was “eager to learn more” about the proposal, including which companies or products might be exempt.
Trump’s move comes three months after most consumer electronics were temporarily exempted from the administration’s harshest tariffs. It also follows lessons from the pandemic, when a global chip shortage pushed car prices up and fueled inflation.
Chorzempa warned that if car chips are not exempt, consumers could face hundreds of dollars in added costs per vehicle. “There’s a chip for nearly everything — window controls, infotainment systems, power management — especially in electric vehicles,” he explained.
The Biden administration, by contrast, has supported the domestic chip industry through subsidies. In 2022, the CHIPS and Science Act committed over $50 billion to support U.S. semiconductor manufacturing, research, and workforce development.
Trump has rejected that approach, instead using tariffs as leverage to pressure companies into moving operations to the U.S., even if it risks higher prices and reduced profit margins.
According to Long Le, a business professor at Santa Clara University, Trump’s strategy may encourage more firms to follow Samsung’s lead in building U.S. plants. At the same time, excluding Chinese chipmakers like SMIC and Huawei from exemptions could give the Trump administration more negotiating power in future trade talks with Beijing.

Vivo Y400 4G Review: Worth It or Just Hype?
Vivo’s Y series is known for blending affordability with trendy features, especially for young users. The Vivo Y400 5G, launched on 28 July 2025, continues that legacy with a few key upgrades. Let's take a look at the key features, specifications, pros, cons, and pricing of the Vivo Y400 4G smartphone in Bangladesh.
Key Features of Vivo Y400 4G
.
Design and Build Quality
The Vivo Y400 4G offers an impressive design language for its price. With dimensions of 162.3 mm by 75.3 mm by 7.9 mm and a weight of around 196 g (Green) to 198 g (White), it feels sturdy and sleek in hand. The combination of a glass front and a plastic back wrapped in a plastic frame is standard in this price range, but Vivo has added flair with colour options like Pearl White, Tropical Green, and Purple Twilight.
The IP68/IP69 rating for water and dust resistance, along with MIL-STD-810H compliance, adds serious durability—a rare offering at this budget level. When compared to the Vivo Y300, the Y400 feels more refined. The Y300 has a similar design with a plastic body but comes with only IP64 splash resistance. The bump up to IP68/IP69 on the Y400 makes a noticeable difference for users worried about water damage.
Against the Samsung Galaxy M36, which has Gorilla Glass Victus+ protection and a glass back, the Vivo Y400 4G does feel less premium. Motorola’s G96, though lighter at 178 g and wrapped in eco-leather, wins points for aesthetics and grip but does not match the Y400’s rugged certification.

Display Quality
The Vivo Y400 4G features a 6.67-inch AMOLED panel with a resolution of 2400 by 1080 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 1800 nits, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Colours are vivid, blacks are deep, and the screen is a pleasure for media consumption. The display-to-body ratio of 87.9% and ~395 ppi pixel density make for a crisp viewing experience.
It shares its panel characteristics with the Vivo Y300, but there is a slight improvement in overall smoothness and brightness optimisation on the Y400. The Motorola G96 does outshine both with its P-OLED panel and 144Hz refresh rate, giving gamers and content consumers a buttery-smooth, punchier display.
The Samsung M36, featuring a Super AMOLED screen with Gorilla Glass Victus+ protection, holds up very well, though it maxes out at 120 Hz. While the Y400 4G may not offer the absolute best panel in its class, it competes head-to-head with more expensive rivals in display quality.
Camera Performance
The dual-camera setup on the Vivo Y400 4G includes a 50 MP wide primary lens and a 2 MP depth sensor. In daylight, it captures detailed shots with decent colour reproduction. The Ring-LED flash helps in dim settings, but low-light images suffer from noticeable noise and reduced sharpness. The 8MP selfie shooter is functional but lacks the sharpness and colour fidelity expected from front cameras today.

When compared to the Vivo Y300, the Y400’s main sensor seems to have downgraded slightly in sensor size, though results are comparable under good lighting. However, the Y300's 32MP selfie camera easily beats the Y400's 8MP in terms of sharpness and dynamic range.
The Samsung Galaxy M36 and Motorola G96 are in a different league. The M36 comes with OIS on its 50MP main sensor, plus an 8MP ultrawide, giving it better low-light and wide-angle versatility. Meanwhile, the G96’s 50 MP camera with OIS and a 32 MP selfie camera produce more stabilised and vibrant shots, even in challenging conditions.
Processor Performance
The Y400 4G is powered by the Snapdragon 685 chipset built on a 6nm process. With an octa-core CPU (4x2.8 GHz Cortex-A73 & 4x1.9 GHz Cortex-A53) and Adreno 610 GPU, it handles day-to-day tasks smoothly. Whether it is multitasking, browsing, or app switching, the phone feels responsive. UFS 2.2 storage also ensures faster read/write speeds, aiding performance.
Compared to the Y300’s Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 (4 nm), the Y400's Snapdragon 685 is more power-efficient but slightly behind in raw performance—especially on tasks that require heavy GPU power. Samsung M36’s Exynos 1380 (5nm) with Cortex-A78 cores and Motorola G96’s Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 (4nm) with Adreno 710 both deliver stronger CPU/GPU performance, making them better options for performance-focused users.

Gaming Performance
For casual gaming, the Vivo Y400 4G holds up well. Games like PUBG Mobile, Free Fire, and Asphalt 9 run comfortably at medium settings. However, it struggles when pushed to high graphic modes, where frame drops and heating become apparent. The 120Hz display does help in smoother visuals, but the Adreno 610 GPU is not built for sustained high-end gaming.
In comparison, the Vivo Y300 offers slightly better gaming performance due to the Adreno 613 GPU, and lower thermals help maintain consistency over longer sessions. The Galaxy M36 and Motorola G96 leave both behind—thanks to their more powerful GPUs (Mali-G68 MP5 in the M36 and Adreno 710 in the G96), offering higher frame rates and better thermal control during long gaming marathons.
Battery Life
A standout feature of the Vivo Y400 4G is its massive 6000 mAh battery, one of the largest in its class. Combined with the power-efficient Snapdragon 685 and AMOLED display, it easily offers 1.5 to 2 days of battery life with moderate use. 44W wired charging fills the tank in about an hour, which is a decent speed for the size.
Comparing it to the Y300’s 5000 mAh battery with 80 W fast charging, you get faster charging but slightly less endurance. Samsung’s M36 offers a smaller 5000 mAh battery with just 25 W charging, falling behind both. Motorola G96 strikes a balance with 5500 mAh and 30 W charging, giving it good endurance but not quite as lasting as the Y400.

Software and User Interface
The phone runs on Android 15 with Funtouch OS 15, offering a clean, customisable, and feature-rich UI. Vivo has added useful tools like "Circle to Search", game mode optimisations, and smart split-screen functions. It is relatively bloat-free, although a few Vivo-native apps still come pre-installed.
Compared to the Y300's Funtouch OS 14, there is not a huge jump in UI experience, but minor optimisations make transitions and multitasking feel smoother. Samsung’s One UI 7 on the M36 is still arguably the best in terms of polish, animations, and long-term update promises (6 years). Motorola G96, though running near-stock Android 15, offers a smoother and bloat-free experience for purists, with Smart Connect 2.0 adding useful features.
Storage Options
The Vivo Y400 4G offers two storage variants: 128GB and 256GB, both with 8GB RAM and no SD card slot. It is enough for average users, and UFS 2.2 keeps data speeds quick. Vivo includes virtual RAM support, adding up to 8 GB of extended memory from internal storage.
The Y300 has similar internal storage options but includes microSD support (shared), which some users may prefer. The Galaxy M36 also offers a microSD slot (shared) and comes with a 6GB RAM base variant, while the Motorola G96 drops microSD entirely, offering only fixed internal options. For those who prefer expandable storage, the Y400's lack of a card slot might be a drawback.

Apple iPhone 17 Series: Leaks, Rumours and Probable Release Date
The Apple iPhone 17 series is generating massive buzz ahead of its expected early September 2025 launch. Packed with exciting upgrades like a thinner design, advanced cameras, and next-gen chips, Apple fans are eager to see how this flagship lineup will redefine innovation legacy once again.
Apple iPhone 17 Series Rumored and Leaked New Features
.
A Major Redesign
One of the most anticipated updates in the Apple iPhone 17 series is the introduction of the iPhone 17 Air. Apple is reportedly dropping the underwhelming "Plus" variant in favour of a sleeker, thinner, and more premium device that redefines design expectations for iPhones.
According to notable analysts such as Mark Gurman and Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 17 Air will be Apple’s thinnest iPhone ever, with a remarkable thickness of between 5.5mm and 6mm. To put that in perspective, the iPhone 16 Pro has an 8.25mm body, making the Air a significant leap in engineering and design.
This model is expected to sit in a perfect spot—positioned between the standard iPhone 17 and the Pro models, both in terms of size and price. It will likely feature a 6.6-inch LTPO OLED display, giving it a comfortable middle ground compared to the 6.3-inch iPhone 17 and the 6.9-inch Pro Max.

What truly sets the Air apart is its rumoured centred, horizontal camera bump, a departure from the vertical stack seen on current non-Pro models. It adds a futuristic look while accommodating the internal adjustments needed for such a thin chassis.
In terms of aesthetics, the Apple iPhone 17 Air could come in a set of refined and minimalist colours, including silver, black, gold, and light blue—mirroring Apple’s Air lineup across other product categories like MacBooks and iPads.
Camera Upgrades
Apple appears poised to elevate camera performance across all iPhone 17 models. The front-facing selfie camera on every model is expected to get a huge upgrade, from 12 MP to 24 MP, providing sharper images, better video call quality, and more detail in selfies. On the back, things get even more exciting.
The standard iPhone 17 is expected to continue with a dual-lens setup, offering a wide and ultra-wide combination. The iPhone 17 Air, however, will go with a single 48 MP wide camera, which marks a notable upgrade for a non-Pro model and aligns with Apple’s strategy to make high-quality photography more accessible.

On the Pro and Pro Max, Apple is reportedly going all-in with three 48 MP sensors: wide, ultra-wide, and telephoto. This would be the first time an Apple iPhone features this level of parity across all three lenses, and the leap from a 12MP telephoto lens to a 48MP one is especially significant. Additionally, the introduction of a mechanical aperture system on Pro models may allow photographers to manually adjust depth of field, mimicking DSLR-style photography.
Another standout feature in the pipeline is dual-video recording, which lets users capture footage simultaneously from both the front and rear cameras. Ideal for content creators and vloggers, this feature brings professional-level storytelling tools into the hands of everyday users.
A19 Chips and More RAM
Apple is expected to standardise high performance across the entire iPhone 17 range with its next-gen A19 chip, with the Pro and Pro Max getting the A19 Pro variant. These chips are said to be based on TSMC’s 3NP architecture, offering increased speed, reduced power consumption, and enhanced AI capabilities.
To handle more resource-intensive apps and Apple’s latest AI features, all Apple iPhone 17 models will reportedly come equipped with 12GB of RAM. The increase will allow smoother multitasking, faster app launches, and better performance in high-demand tasks like gaming, video editing, and machine learning.

ProMotion for All Models
One of the most exciting leaks is that Apple will finally bring ProMotion displays to every model in the iPhone 17 lineup. Previously exclusive to the Pro models, this 120 Hz adaptive refresh rate technology enables ultra-smooth scrolling, fluid animations, and better responsiveness.
Apple’s move to LTPO OLED panels across the board makes this possible, as these panels are more energy-efficient and capable of variable refresh rates from 1Hz to 120Hz. While always-on display functionality might still remain a Pro-only perk, standard and Air users will still enjoy the benefits of a faster, more visually engaging interface.
Design
Design is getting a refresh as well. The Pro and Pro Max models are rumoured to abandon their titanium frames for a more durable and lighter half-glass, half-aluminium body. This not only improves drop protection but also maintains MagSafe compatibility. The most striking change is the horizontal camera bar, which now spans the width of the device—similar to the Pixel design language.
Colour-wise, Apple is stepping out of its comfort zone. Along with the usual silver, black, and dark blue, a bold orange variant may join the lineup. A liquid glass-inspired white option could also debut, featuring a finish that subtly changes colour based on lighting conditions. These aesthetic choices indicate Apple’s willingness to experiment with more expressive designs.

Improved Audio and Display Protection
The audio experience is rumoured to get an upgrade too. Longer earpiece cutouts and possibly enhanced speaker tuning should improve call clarity and media playback. Coupled with new software optimisations in AirPods, Apple is aiming to deliver a superior audio ecosystem.
Display durability is also a key area of improvement. Apple might debut scratch-resistant, antireflective glass on the Pro models—significantly tougher than the current Ceramic Shield. This would not only enhance durability but also reduce glare, making screen content easier to view in bright environments.
Vapor Chamber Cooling and Battery Upgrades
To keep everything running smoothly, especially under high-performance loads, vapour chamber cooling systems could be introduced in the Apple iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max. These systems efficiently dissipate heat, preventing thermal throttling during demanding tasks like gaming or extended video recording.
Battery life is getting better, too. The iPhone 17 Pro Max may house the largest battery ever in an iPhone, while the Pro variant will also benefit from increased capacity due to its slightly thicker frame, rumoured to be 8.725 mm. Charging speeds will reportedly stay at 35W wired and 25W wireless, but improvements in thermal management and battery chemistry could extend real-world usage time considerably.

In a Nutshell
The iPhone 17 series is shaping up to be Apple’s most exciting release in years. With a completely new Air model, universal ProMotion displays, camera and performance upgrades, and a striking design refresh, Apple is signalling a bold step forward. Whether you are a casual user or a power-hungry pro, the Apple iPhone 17 lineup will likely offer something worth waiting for.

Vivo X200 FE Review: The Compact Champion Featuring Zeiss Cameras and a Massive Battery
Vivo has carved a name in the premium smartphone world with its innovative X series, known for flagship-grade cameras and sleek designs. The latest addition, the Vivo X200 FE, launched on 5 July 2025, continues this tradition with a powerful compact package built for performance lovers. Let's take a look at the main features, specifications, pros, cons and pricing of the Vivo X200 FE in Bangladesh.
Key Features & Specs of vivo X200 FE
.
Design and Build Quality
The Vivo X200 FE is a compact flagship that does not skimp on premium aesthetics or durability. With a sleek aluminium frame sandwiched between a glass front and back, it measures just 150.8 mm tall and weighs 186 g, perfect for one-handed use.
Its IP68/IP69 rating for dust and water resistance is a rare bonus at this size, even rivalling the rugged capabilities of Sharp Aquos R8s (which is MIL-STD-810G compliant) and exceeding the Motorola Razr 2025’s IP48 protection. While the Razr has a unique folding design and eco-leather finish, the X200 FE feels more solid and less gimmicky.
Compared to its bigger sibling, the Vivo X200, which is slightly larger and heavier (197–202 g), the X200 FE appeals to users seeking portability without compromising on materials. The colour options—Luxe Grey, Frost Blue, Amber Yellow, and Pink Vibe—add flair for those who care about visual appeal.

Display Quality
The Vivo X200 FE packs a stunning 6.31‑inch LTPO AMOLED display with 1B colours, a 120 Hz refresh rate, 2160 Hz PWM dimming, HDR10+ support, and an incredible peak brightness of 5,000 nits. The visuals are vibrant and sharp (at 1216×2640 resolution, ~461 ppi) and remain clear even under intense sunlight.
In comparison, the standard Vivo X200 features a slightly larger 6.67‑inch AMOLED display with a similar 2160 Hz PWM and HDR10+, but peaks at 4,500 nits. While both are excellent, the FE’s brightness makes it unbeatable outdoors.
The Sharp Aquos R8s uses a PRO IGZO LTPO OLED panel with Dolby Vision support, but it peaks at just 1,300 nits, making it look dim beside the X200 FE in bright conditions. The Motorola Razr 2025’s foldable LTPO AMOLED screen is large (6.9″) and visually rich but peaks at 3,000 nits and feels more fragile due to the folding mechanism.
The X200 FE’s flat panel with Schott Xensation glass offers the best balance between performance, durability, and comfort for compact flagship seekers.

Camera Performance
Vivo continues its imaging legacy with a powerful triple rear setup on the X200 FE: a 50 MP wide lens, a 50 MP periscope telephoto with 3x optical zoom, and an 8 MP ultrawide lens. Zeiss optics, laser autofocus, and Zeiss T* coating bring professional-level clarity and flare control. In daylight, shots are crisp, and the 50 MP selfie cam is a dream for content creators. Low-light performance is respectable, though the 8 MP ultrawide shows some soft edges and noise.
Compared to the Vivo X200, which carries a superior 50 MP ultrawide camera with autofocus and a more advanced main sensor with OIS, the FE falls slightly short in diversity and sensor depth. However, the FE still outperforms competitors like the Motorola Razr 2025 and Sharp Aquos R8s. The Razr’s dual-camera setup lacks the FE’s periscope lens and struggles in low light, while the Sharp’s 13 MP ultrawide feels outdated and delivers middling detail.
In video, the X200 FE records in 4K at 60 fps with HDR and gyro‑EIS, ensuring steady and vibrant footage—on par with most 2025 flagships. The Razr also shoots 4K, but the output lacks the vivid contrast and dynamic range Vivo's Zeiss partnership brings to the table.
Processor Performance
Under the hood, the Vivo X200 FE is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ (4 nm), built for flagship-level multitasking and speed. It boasts an octa-core CPU with a high-performance 3.4 GHz Cortex-X4 core and Immortalis-G720 MC12 GPU. While it is slightly less powerful on paper than the Vivo X200’s Dimensity 9400 (3 nm) and Immortalis-G925 GPU, the FE still performs fluidly across all tasks.
Read more: vivo T4 Ultra Review: A Game-Changing Mid-range Flagship
In daily usage, you will barely notice the difference unless benchmarking is your thing. Compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip in the Sharp Aquos R8s, the Dimensity 9300+ is more energy-efficient and slightly faster in AI and multitasking tasks. Meanwhile, the Motorola Razr 2025's Dimensity 7400X, paired with a Mali-G615 GPU, feels a step behind in both general responsiveness and heavy app loads. For users who prioritise consistent flagship-grade speed without thermal throttling, the X200 FE remains ahead of both competitors.
Gaming Performance
Gaming on the Vivo X200 FE is a smooth affair. The combination of a powerful GPU, 12–16 GB RAM, and a high-refresh-rate AMOLED screen ensures a top-tier experience in games like Genshin Impact, PUBG, or Call of Duty Mobile. Thermal performance is well-controlled, though there’s minor warmth after extended play or fast charging sessions.
The Razr 2025, with its weaker GPU and foldable screen, is not built with hardcore gaming in mind. It struggles to maintain stable frame rates in graphically intensive titles. The Aquos R8s, though built on a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, does not have a gaming-optimised cooling system and tends to throttle over long periods.
Here, the X200 FE, despite lacking the ultra-performance edge of the X200’s Dimensity 9400, still delivers a far more reliable gaming experience than its similarly priced rivals.

Battery Life
One of the standout features of the Vivo X200 FE is its massive 6,500 mAh battery (outside Austria and Hungary). It is rare to see this capacity in such a compact phone. In real-world use, this means 1.5 to 2 days of battery life for moderate users and a full day for power users with heavy media consumption. When you do run low, 90 W fast charging refills the phone to 100% in just under 60 minutes.
By contrast, the Vivo X200 offers a smaller 5,800 mAh battery and similar 90 W charging speed—but drains quicker due to its larger display and more powerful processor. The Sharp Aquos R8s is limited by a 4,750 mAh battery and slow 15 W charging—totally outdated by 2025 standards.
The Motorola Razr 2025 also disappoints with a 4,500 mAh battery and 30 W charging (though it adds 15 W wireless support), but it cannot compete with the endurance the X200 FE delivers. Overall, the FE’s battery life is unmatched in this size class.
Software and User Interface
Running Android 15 with Funtouch OS 15, the Vivo X200 FE promises four major Android upgrades, keeping it future-proof until Android 19. Funtouch 15 is now lighter, more customisable, and smoother than previous versions, with fewer bloatware issues and cleaner UI animations. Features like RAM expansion, always-on display, and advanced camera controls are polished and useful.
Read more: Basic to Flagship: Top 5 Official Smartphones Released in Bangladesh in 2025
Compared to OriginOS on Chinese models of the X200, Funtouch is more user-friendly globally. The Motorola Razr 2025 runs near-stock Android 15, which some may prefer for its simplicity, though it lacks the smart features and customisation Vivo offers. Sharp Aquos R8s still runs Android 13, and software updates remain a weak point for Sharp’s phones—putting it behind both Vivo and Motorola.
Storage Options
The X200 FE offers up to 512 GB storage with 12 or 16 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 3.1 speeds. While UFS 4.0 would have been preferable (as used in the X200 and Aquos R8s), real-world speed differences are minimal unless you are moving massive files frequently. There is no microSD support—same as its competitors—but the high base storage helps offset that.
The Vivo X200 leads slightly with up to 1 TB storage and faster UFS 4.0, appealing to content hoarders and power users. Motorola Razr 2025, on the other hand, offers just 256 GB UFS 2.2—noticeably slower and more limiting. The Sharp Aquos R8s supports expandable storage via microSDXC, which is handy but can’t match the speed and integration of internal UFS storage.
Pros and Cons of vivo X200 FE
Pros
- Premium aluminum frame with IP68/IP69 rating- Compact 6.31-inch LTPO AMOLED display, 120 Hz refresh- Sharp and detailed triple rear camera with Zeiss optics- High-res 50 MP front selfie camera- Stereo speakers for rich audio- Infrared port and NFC included- Massive 6500 mAh battery with fast 90 W charging- Smooth performance with Dimensity 9300+ chipset- Bright 5000-nit screen, great for outdoor use- Up to 16GB RAM and 512GB storage.
