James Bond Easter Eggs at the Apple Event:
1) Skyfall appearance from the dark.
2) John Ternus moved right-to-left across the frame, mirroring Bond's signature title sequence.
3) Gun Barrel Framing: The final shot visually echoed 007's iconic gun barrel opening.
The vivo X500 Pro Series comes with the world's first "Zeiss Super Dynamic Main Camera" with 17EV ultra high-dynamic range.
It is dubbed as "Blueprint 900" sensor, potentially based on the Sony LYTIA L901 sensor.
The X500 Pro Max has OIS with 3° correction angle and CIPA 7.0-grade stabilisation.
It also brings an upgrade in video recording features, with 4K 120fps HDR and 4K 240fps options.
This is where Vivo makes an Ultra model worse than a Pro... Vivo fans who bought the Vivo X300 Ultra get angry when they see people posting these things, but it’s a reality — it was Vivo’s choice in this generation to downgrade its periscope camera.
Heads up! Samsung has introduced a very useful upgrade to the Privacy Display feature on the Galaxy S26 Ultra in One UI 9.
For example, if you've enabled Privacy Display only for YouTube, when you minimize the video into Picture in Picture (PiP) and return to the home screen, only the PiP window will remain protected by Privacy Display. Your home screen and other apps will no longer be affected.
In previous versions, once Privacy Display was enabled, the entire screen stayed in privacy mode, even after switching to PiP, making it much less flexible.
This means One UI 9 finally supports independent Privacy Display for Picture in Picture. It keeps your PiP content private without affecting the rest of the interface, making the feature much more practical than before.
30X zoom photo taken with Vivo X300 Ultra 🤔
It turned a real bird into a animated cartoon 😂
First photo is Bird Mode ON and third photo is Bird mode OFF normal periscope telephoto shot at 30X. Both time X300 Ultra turned the bird into a animated Cartoon. I feel a Ultra smartphone should give realistic photos upto 30X. I will urge Vivo to fix this issue if they don't do intentionally 🤔
Yes, I've been daily driving OnePlus 15 since it came out. OnePlus might have the most phones in my personal phones of the past decade? And it looks like this will be my last one.
OnePlus announced they will officially no longer launch new products in North America or Europe. Software support will continue, but OxygenOS on these phones will turn into ColorOS. RIP

Happened today.
A friend of mine switched from the Vivo X200 Pro to the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, just because he didn't like Vivo's AI processing.
I suggested to use Humanistic mode, but he said he often forgot that mode even exist.🙃
His point was simple: "You shouldn't have to keep switching camera modes all the time just to take a photo in the camera app. Xiaomi's Auto Mode is already pretty good and produces natural looking results." That's what he said.
Next-gen OLED displays could become much more efficient 👀
Tianma has announced:
• World's first NFB (New Fluorescent Blue) technology
• Up to 12% lower power consumption
• 100% longer lifespan
• Hardware-level low blue light eye protection
Big upgrades for future smartphone screens.
This could be the final design for the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro
- Variable aperture (possibly the only camera hardware upgrade)
- Smaller Dynamic Island (under display Face ID)
- Simpler Camera Control
- A20 Pro (15% faster and 30% more efficient)
- Apple C2 modem
- 5G Via Satellite
- 5,200 mAh battery for Pro Max eSIM
- More “Pro” camera app
- Colors: Blue, Burgundy, Silver, Grey
I want to thank everyone for the outpouring of love and thank you for believing in me to lead the company that has always put you at the center of our work. This is not goodbye. It’s a hello to John and I can’t wait for you to get to know him like I do! 🙏
