Another week in the books and several new smartphone announcements to cover – here are the new phones of week 33.
Starting the list chronologically is the vivo Y35 – a Snapdragon 680 midranger with 44W fast charging. It gets a 6.58” IPS LCD with FHD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. The back houses a 50MP main cam alongside a 2MP macro module and a 2MP depth helper.
The phone boots FuntouchOS 12 (based on Android 12) and packs a 5,000 mAh battery with the aforementioned 44W fast charging. The vivo Y35 is already on open sale in Indonesia. You can pick up a unit for IDR 3,300,000 ($225/€220/₹18,000).
Xiaomi released a new global version of the Poco M4 5G with some slightly altered specs compared to the Indian variant of the same phone – peep the differences. The only changes come in the camera department where the global variant has a 13MP main shooter and a 5MP selfie cam in place of the Indian model’s 50MP main sensor and 8MP front-facing cam.
Poco M4 5G is offered in three colors – Black, Blue, and the signature POCO Yellow. Pricing is set at €219 (4GB/64GB) and €249 (6GB/128GB) for European markets.
Next up are another pair of vivo smartphones – the vivo V25 and vivo V25 Pro. The standard V25 model gets a 6.44-inch AMOLED with a 90Hz refresh rate and a MediaTek Dimensity 900 chipset while the Pro has a 6.56-inch AMOLED with a 120Hz refresh rate and a more capable Dimensity 1300 SoC.
Both V25 models have 64MP main cams with OIS though the Pro model gets a 12MP ultrawide module compared to 8MP on the V25. The selfie cam on the V25 is a 50MP sensor while the Pro gets a 32MP module. Both phones boot Funtouch 12 based on Android 12. The battery supremacy goes to the V25 Pro with its 4,830 mAh cell with 66W charging compared to the V25’s 4,500 mAh cell with 44W charging.
Sadly, vivo has not shared pricing and availability details about the new V25 models at this point.
