Vivo X100 grabs Android 15 before Pixel 9, Samsung stumbles on One UI 7 Beta

Vivo X100

Vivo beats Google and Samsung in the Android 15 rollout race. The Chinese phone maker started releasing the Stable Android 15 update to select models. This is surprising as Google has yet to push the update to Pixel phones.

Android 15-based Funtouch OS 15 is rolling out to Vivo X100 series, Vivo X Fold 3 Pro, and iQOO 12. It brings wonderful new features and enhancements. Notably, the company has scheduled the deployment for September 30.

September is almost finished and there’s no One UI 7 Beta announcement. Google could update Pixel phones with Android 15 in mid-October. Meanwhile, Samsung will be holding the 2024 Developer Conference on October 3.

Google usually debuts Android 15 first, then other OEMs follow. Last year, Oppo and OnePlus kicked off the rollout shortly after Google. Things are just different this year as the owner of Android is stuck and a vendor kicked off the release.

Pixel phones currently running Android 15 QPR Beta build. The company has ended the Beta Program and shifted Pixels to either Android 14 or QPR Beta. Users who didn’t wipe data are still stuck on Android 15 Beta, awaiting the Public build.

Vivo’s Android 15-based Funtouch OS 15 update comes with AI Eraser in Gallery – similar to Google’s Magic Editor. The Live Transcribe is also included as an accessibility tool, letting users follow conversations in real time.

The new software also adds partial screen sharing for enhanced privacy during presentations or collaborations, and native support for satellite connectivity, enabling communication in areas with limited or no cellular coverage.

Samsung officially launched the Galaxy S24 FE. The company’s latest Fan Edition will be available for order starting October 3, in the Blue, Graphite, Gray, Mint, and Yellow colors.

The new Samsung Galaxy S24 FE packs pro-grade hardware and Galaxy AI capabilities. There are many striking upgrades that make it comparable to the Galaxy S24 flagship.

Apple just launched the iPhone 16 after Google’s Pixel 9 unveiling. The Galaxy S24 FE can’t be considered non-flagship, thanks to Samsung’s approach to bring massive upgrades.

The smartphone sports a 6.7-inch FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2x display with 120Hz adaptive refresh rate and Vision Booster.

The handset comes with a 12MP ultrawide, a 50MP primary, and an 8MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom. On the front, it has a 10MP camera that resists inside the Infinity-O cutout.

Samsung confirms the Exynos 2400e processor that is made using 4nm process tech. Three storage configurations will be available for purchase including 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB – all paired with 8GB RAM.

It has a 4700mAh battery, which can be charged up to 50% in around 30 minutes with a 25W adapter. It also features fast wireless charging and wireless powershare features.

It boots Android 14-based One UI 6.1, bringing all the amazing bells and whistles of the new OS. Surprisingly, it is supported by seven years of OS and security updates so it won’t miss out on new features.

It is a 5G-supported smartphone that also has WiFi 6E technology. Security features include Auto Blocker, Samsung Knox, Samsung Knox Vault, Samsung Knox Matrix, and Passkey.

As leaked earlier, the Galaxy S24 FE costs $649 for 128GB and $709 for 256GB variant in the US. You can get up to $400 instant trade-in credit apart from Education, Govt and Military offers.
