Vivo has not officially confirmed the Y31 series. However, a string of leaks including certifications, posters, and pricing details, strongly suggests that the Vivo Y31 5G and Y31 Pro 5G could be announced very soon.

While we wait for an official announcement, a new rumour making rounds online suggests the upcoming Vivo Y31 Pro 5G may not be an entirely new device after all. Here’s more on that.

Vivo Y31 Pro 5G – A Rebranded Version of Vivo T4x 5G.

According to tipster Paras Guglani’s recent post on handle @passionategeekz on X (formerly Twitter), the Vivo Y31 Pro 5G smartphone is expected to be a rebranded version of the Vivo T4x 5G.

If the leak is accurate, the Vivo Y31 Pro 5G will feature the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 SoC, the same chipset that powers the T4x 5G. The handset has also appeared on the Bluetooth SIG certification website with model number V2534, confirming Bluetooth 5.4 support. Although its Geekbench listing has not surfaced yet, it is likely to reveal more performance-related details once available.

Interestingly, Vivo T4x 5G is already available in India.

A recently leaked marketing poster of the Y31 series shows both the standard Y31 5G and the Y31 Pro 5G. The poster was exclusively posted by tipster Sanju Choudhary @saaaanjjjuuu on X alongside the pricing details.

In the leaked poster, the Y31 Pro looks almost identical to the Vivo T4x 5G, while the standard Y31 5G resembles the Vivo Y300 5G from India. The poster also confirms that both models will be offered in purple and white finishes with a marble-like design.

Meanwhile, the standard Y31 5G (model number V2521) has been spotted on BIS, Geekbench, and IMEI databases. The Geekbench listing suggests it will also be powered by the Dimensity 7300 chipset, paired with 4GB RAM, and run on Android 15. This indicates that both the Y31 and Y31 Pro 5G could share the same processor.

Vivo Y31 Pro 5G Price (Leaked)

It is still unclear if these prices will include any promotional discounts or launch offers.

  • It is possibly named Galaxy Z TriFold or Galaxy G Fold.

Samsung’s long-rumoured tri-fold smartphone may finally be nearing its debut. According to a new report from ET News, the company is planning an earlier than expected introduction of the device at a special Unpacked event later this month. It is also being speculated that the commercial availability of the phone is slated for November. Here’s all we know about the early launch.

We discussed what ET News had to say about the possible launch of the Samsung Tri-fold. But they are not the only source we are hearing from.

Well-known tipster Ice Universe has added weight to the speculation, claiming on Weibo that the foldable is possibly called the Galaxy Z TriFold or Galaxy G Fold and will be unveiled in South Korea on September 29.

The official name of the handset remains unconfirmed. At the event, Samsung is also expected to showcase its upcoming Project Moohan MR headset and AI-powered Galaxy Glasses.

This isn’t the first time the September 29 date has surfaced. Reliable leaker Max Jambor and multiple reports from South Korea had previously pointed to the same timeline for the tri-fold’s unveiling. However, Ice Universe’s mention of the Galaxy Glasses adds a new layer to the expected lineup.

Production and Availability Details

Fresh supply chain reports suggest Samsung has scaled back its production estimates for the tri-fold to just 50,000 units, a significant drop from earlier projections of 200,000 units. The reduced numbers reflect the company’s cautious approach toward a first-generation product.

Unlike Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold and Flip series, the tri-fold device will reportedly see a limited release, available only in South Korea and China. Industry insiders believe this strategy is designed to gauge consumer demand for the new form factor while preventing it from eating into sales of the Galaxy Z Fold7.

If consumer response is positive, the company could expand availability in the future, making the Galaxy Z TriFold/Galaxy G Fold an important milestone in Samsung’s foldable journey.

FAQs

Q1. When is Samsung expected to launch its tri-fold smartphone?

Answer. Samsung may unveil its first tri-fold device, possibly called Galaxy Z TriFold or Galaxy G Fold, on September 29 at a special Unpacked event in South Korea.

Q2. Where will the tri-fold phone be available initially?

Answer. The device is expected to launch exclusively in South Korea and China, with a limited production run of just 50,000 units to test market response.

Q3. What other products might be revealed at the event?

Answer. Alongside the tri-fold phone, Samsung is likely to showcase its Project Moohan MR headset and AI-powered Galaxy Glasses, expanding its mixed reality and AI portfolio.

Apple iPhone 17 Series May Not See Expected Price Hike, JPMorgan Report Suggests

0

Highlights

  • JPMorgan reports suggest Apple may retain current pricing for the iPhone 17 lineup.
  • iPhone 17 Pro may start at $1,099, but with 256GB storage, effectively keeping costs steady.
  • The new Air model could be priced between $899 and $949, replacing the Plus variant and offering value if its rumoured features deliver.

Apple is gearing up to launch its flagship iPhone 17 lineup in just a week. While many analysts had predicted price hikes across the board, a new report hints at some relief for buyers. Here’s what we know based on the new report.

Apple iPhone 17 Series Possible Price

Earlier expectations suggested that both the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max would see a $100 increase. However, according to a new research note cited by 9to5Mac, JPMorgan analysts believe Apple may not raise prices as much as feared.

Starting with the base model, the standard iPhone 17 is expected to retain its $799 starting price, keeping it in line with the current iPhone 16.

Next in line is the iPhone 17 Air, Apple’s slimmer, all-new model that’s expected to replace the iPhone Plus. Since this is a completely new entry, its pricing isn’t necessarily tied to the outgoing Plus. The iPhone 16 Plus currently starts at $899 and JPMorgan predicts the iPhone 17 Air could either match that price or come in slightly higher at $949.

Even with a $50 increase, the Air could still be positioned as a strong value if it lives up to its rumoured features.

As for the Pro models, things look more interesting. The iPhone 17 Pro may appear to rise by $100 compared to the iPhone 16 Pro, but there’s a catch. The iPhone 16 Pro starts at $999 with 128GB of storage, while the iPhone 17 Pro is expected to start at $1,099 with 256GB of storage. Since the 256GB version of the iPhone 16 Pro already costs $1,099, Apple is effectively keeping pricing steady while phasing out the lower storage variant.

Meanwhile, the iPhone 17 Pro Max is projected to continue at $1,199, the same as the current model, despite earlier speculation of a $1,249 bump. The Pro Max already starts with 256GB storage, so no changes are expected in that regard.

To summarise, JPMorgan’s pricing forecast for the iPhone 17 lineup is as follows –

  • iPhone 17 – $799 (no change)
  • iPhone 17 Air – $899 – $949 (no change or $50 increase)
  • iPhone 17 Pro – $1,099 (appears higher but includes double the base storage)
  • iPhone 17 Pro Max – $1,199 (no change)

Apple’s official launch event is just days away and all pricing details will be confirmed soon. As of now, this report suggests that the anticipated steep price hikes may not materialise after all.

FAQs

Q1. Will the iPhone 17 series be more expensive than the iPhone 16?

Answer. According to JPMorgan, Apple may not raise prices significantly. The base iPhone 17 is expected to retain its $799 starting price, matching the iPhone 16.

Q2. What is the expected price of the new iPhone 17 Air?

Answer. The iPhone 17 Air, replacing the Plus model, is projected to cost between $899 and $949, depending on its final feature set and positioning.

Q3. Is the iPhone 17 Pro getting a price hike?

Answer. While the iPhone 17 Pro may start at $1,099, it includes 256GB storage by default, same as the current 256GB iPhone 16 Pro, so the effective price remains unchanged.

Q4. What about the iPhone 17 Pro Max pricing?

Answer. The iPhone 17 Pro Max is expected to launch at $1,199, the same as its predecessor, despite earlier speculation of a $50 increase.

Han explained that while the X300 Pro may not surpass Vivo’s flagship X200 Ultra in every aspect, the new telephoto setup stands out in four areas, stability, speed, clarity, and transparency. It supports CIPA 5.5-level stabilisation, currently the highest rating in the industry, ensuring steady shots even at long distances.

The phone also incorporates a custom focus tracking engine, developed in partnership with external collaborators, which enhances motion capture for subjects that are far away.

In addition, Vivo’s in-house “Blueprint” algorithm works in tandem with the hardware to deliver sharper telephoto photos without relying heavily on AI enhancements.

Vivo is also equipping the lineup with its VS1 pre-processing chip and the V3+ dual-core imaging system for further improvements in photography and video.

At its Vision Conference, Vivo teased future AI-driven features for the X300 series, including AIGC-powered landscape creation and personalised beauty modes, showcasing how it plans to integrate AI in more creative ways.

OnePlus has been steadily improving its smartphone cameras over the past few years. The brand has addressed one of the most common criticisms it faced in earlier models, which was the image quality. Now, the company seems ready to take a major leap forward with a new in-house innovation. Here’s what we know.

OnePlus’ Self-Developed Image Engine

According to tipster Yogesh Brar via a report published exclusively on Smartprix, OnePlus is reportedly working on its first-ever self-developed “Image Engine.” It is described as “a proprietary platform built to take full control of photo and video processing.”

The new platform is expected to include advanced imaging algorithms designed to improve low-light performance, skin tone accuracy, and dynamic range, delivering results “in ways OnePlus has never been able to before.”

The OnePlus 15 is said to be the first device to feature this new Image Engine. The upcoming flagship is rumoured to sport a triple 50MP rear camera setup and run on Qualcomm’s next-gen Snapdragon Elite chipset.

However, the introduction of OnePlus’s own image processing system has raised questions about its long-standing partnership with Hasselblad. Recent rumours suggest that the collaboration may not continue with the OnePlus 15.

It also remains uncertain whether the OnePlus Image Engine will be entirely new technology or if it could simply be a rebranded version of Oppo’s Lumo platform, given the companies’ shared ecosystem.

OnePlus 15 Gets TUV Certification

The TUV Rheinland certification screenshot confirms that the phone will support 121W fast charging. If this indeed is OnePlus, it confirms we will be getting a slight upgrade compared predecessor OnePlus 13’s 100W charging support.

FAQs

Q1. What is the OnePlus Image Engine and what does it do?

Answer. The OnePlus Image Engine is a self-developed platform designed to take full control of photo and video processing, with improvements in low-light, skin tone accuracy, and dynamic range.

Q2. Which device will debut the new Image Engine?

Answer. The OnePlus 15 is expected to be the first smartphone to feature this proprietary Image Engine, alongside a triple 50MP rear camera setup and Snapdragon Elite chipset.

Q3. Will OnePlus continue its partnership with Hasselblad?

Answer. Rumours suggest the OnePlus 15 may not include Hasselblad branding, raising questions about the future of the collaboration as OnePlus shifts to its own imaging platform.

iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max Could Go eSIM-Only Globally, Apple Event on September 9

0

Highlights

  • Apple may eliminate physical SIM slots globally starting with EU markets in the upcoming iPhone 17 series lineup.
  • Retail staff training is underway to support eSIM-only devices.
  • Apple will unveil four models at its “Awe Dropping” event on September 9, 2025, at Apple Park.

Apple has confirmed that its next big launch event will be on September 9, 2025. The much-awaited iPhone 17 lineup will be unveiled during the event and it is expected to include four models. These models will most likely be the standard iPhone 17, a slimmer and lighter iPhone 17 Air, the premium iPhone 17 Pro and the flagship iPhone 17 Pro Max.

While we have been hearing a lot about this lineup since last year or maybe even before that, rumours are not stopping even when launch is just days away. Here’s what the most recent grapevine reveals.

iPhone 17 To Go eSIM-Only

According to a fresh report from MacRumors, Apple may take a bold step by making the iPhone 17 series eSIM-only in several international markets, eliminating physical SIM card slots. This long-anticipated transition would allow Apple to cut costs in certain areas while further streamlining the iPhone’s design.

Employee Training Signals eSIM Expansion

MacRumors cites sources claiming that Apple has already mandated training for retail employees to handle iPhones with eSIM-only support. The training requirement applies to Apple Authorised Resellers in EU markets including France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands.

Employees must reportedly complete the program by September 5, just four days before Apple’s “Awe Dropping” launch event. The training sessions are said to be provided via Apple’s SEED app.

What is eSIM?

An eSIM is a digital alternative to the traditional SIM card, offering advantages such as better security and instant activation or deactivation. However, the technology still has limitations: support is mostly restricted to premium smartphones, and frequent phone-switchers may find the process less convenient compared to simply swapping a physical SIM.

Apple first removed the physical SIM slot with the iPhone 14 in 2022, but only in the US. Later models continued the trend domestically while retaining dual SIM (physical + eSIM) support in international markets like India. If the iPhone 17 lineup goes fully eSIM-only in more regions, it would mark Apple’s biggest global shift yet.

iPhone 17 Launch Event, Design and Price

Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the “Awe Dropping” event will take place at Apple Park, Cupertino, on September 9 at 10:30 PM IST, where the entire iPhone 17 lineup will be revealed.

Another major change expected with the iPhone 17 series is its new rear camera design. Reports suggest Apple may drop the familiar vertical triple-lens setup, opting instead for a wide rectangular camera island stretching across the back, a look similar to Google’s Pixel phones.

The new lineup is rumoured to feature an enhanced Dynamic Island, offering smoother animations and more intuitive interactions. Both standard and Pro models are also likely to gain advanced interactive functions and refined visual elements, powered by the iOS 26 platform.

Industry insiders suggest that Apple could raise prices for its premium models. The iPhone 17 Pro may start at around $1,049, while the iPhone 17 Pro Max could begin at $1,249, reflecting higher tariffs and production costs. Meanwhile, the base iPhone 17 is expected to retain its $799 starting price.

FAQs

Q1. What models are expected in the iPhone 17 lineup?

Answer. Apple is set to unveil four models: the standard iPhone 17, a slimmer iPhone 17 Air, the premium iPhone 17 Pro, and the flagship iPhone 17 Pro Max.

Q2. Will the iPhone 17 series support physical SIM cards?

Answer. According to reports, Apple may go eSIM-only globally with the iPhone 17 lineup, removing physical SIM slots in several international markets including the EU.

Q3. What are the major design changes in the iPhone 17 series?

Answer. The iPhone 17 is expected to feature a wide rectangular rear camera island, enhanced Dynamic Island animations, and refined visuals powered by iOS 26.
