vivo X100 hands-on review

We used the vivo X100 for over a month, and here"s what we think about it.

We saw metal dummies of the upcoming iPhone 16 series, which revealed that all 2024 iPhone models will have both the new Capture Button and the currently-Pros-only Action Button. The dummies also suggest that the iPhone 16 Pro Max will get a size bump to 6.9-inch, as it"s bigger than the 16 Plus, while the 16 Pro may be a tad bigger than the 16, also corroborating an earlier report that the 16 Pro will get a bigger display.

Finally, Tecno launched its Camon 30, 30 5G, and 30 Pro series across various markets in Africa. The series will gradually expand to all 70+ markets around the world. Pricing will be announced separately for each according to individual market..
