Vivo X Fold 6 Global Launch Appears Near as European Listing Reveals Key Details

Vivo’s foldable smartphone, the Vivo X Fold 6, appears to be getting closer to its global debut. A recent European retailer listing has revealed the device’s expected pricing, storage configuration, and color options ahead of an official international launch.

The foldable handset first launched in China in June. Now, the new listing suggests Vivo is preparing to bring the premium device to additional markets.

According to the retailer listing, the global version of the Vivo X Fold 6 will be available in Black and Blue color options. This is fewer than the choices offered in China, where the phone debuted in multiple color variants.

The listing also indicates that the global model may be offered in a single configuration featuring 12GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage. The device is currently marked as “coming soon,” while interested buyers can sign up for launch notifications.

Pricing information suggests the foldable could carry a premium price tag in Europe. The listed price is around EUR 2,135 including VAT, while the pre-tax price is reported to be roughly EUR 1,750.

In terms of specifications, the international version is expected to retain most of the features of the Chinese model. The smartphone features a 6.51-inch outer display and a large 8.02-inch foldable inner screen designed for productivity and entertainment.

The device is powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500 Super processor. In addition, it includes flagship-level hardware aimed at delivering smooth multitasking and high-end performance.

One notable difference involves the battery. The global edition is listed with a 6,900mAh battery, slightly smaller than the 7,000mAh unit found in the Chinese variant.

Reports have also suggested that the Vivo X Fold 6 could launch in India soon. Market rumors point to storage options including 12GB + 256GB and 12GB + 512GB variants. The smartphone may arrive in Prism Black and Nebula Teal colorways.

In China, Vivo introduced several storage configurations ranging from 12GB RAM with 256GB storage to a top-end model featuring 16GB RAM and 1TB storage. The company also released a special Black Gold Edition for the domestic market.

With a large foldable display, flagship chipset, and premium design, the Vivo X Fold 6 is expected to compete in the growing high-end foldable smartphone segment when it reaches global markets.

Leaked Renders Show Boxier Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K and Revised Remote

Amazon launched the Fire TV Stick 4K Select last year with 4K Ultra HD playback and HDR10+ support. A newer Fire TV Stick 4K now appears to be in the pipeline. Alleged marketing renders of the stick and a redesigned remote have circulated online. The next model is still expected to plug straight into a television’s HDMI port.

WinFuture published the images, citing retailer sources. The pictures have not been confirmed by Amazon. They show a more angular look for both the dongle and the remote. The remote has a flatter upper section and a rounded lower half. That mix looks boxier than the last generation. Button placement has also changed in the renders.

Streaming shortcut keys sit on the lower part of the remote. The Alexa key is shown at the top right. A backlit home button with an animated treatment is also described. Those details remain unofficial until Amazon posts a spec sheet.

The stick itself looks more rectangular and squared-off. The basic HDMI-stick shape is unchanged. Reports say the body is more compact than earlier 4K models.

Launch date and hardware details are still unannounced. The device is expected to run Fire OS. Amazon’s Fire TV Stick 4K Select uses Vega OS instead. That split may continue if the new 4K stick stays on the older software line. Nothing in the leak confirms processor, Wi-Fi, or price.

For context, the Fire TV Stick 4K Select arrived in India in October 2025 at Rs 5,499. It streams 4K with HDR10+ and carries Prime Video, Netflix, Disney+ Hotstar, YouTube, and Zee5. Alexa voice control is included. That model uses a quad-core processor, Vega OS, and HDMI with HDCP 2.2.

The new renders are a design leak, not a launch. Prices, chipset, and an India date can still change. Treat the boxier remote and squared stick as unconfirmed until Amazon puts the product on stage.

Nothing Adds 6GB Base Models of Phone (4a) and Phone (4b) in India

Nothing has added cheaper base variants of the Phone (4a) and Phone (4b) in India. The brand had already raised prices across the lineup because of the RAM and storage shortage. The old entry point was 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The new option uses 6GB of RAM and the same 128GB storage.

The Phone (4a) now starts at Rs 39,999 for 6GB + 128GB. The Phone (4b) 6GB + 128GB model is priced at Rs 35,999. Both phones are on sale on Flipkart.

The Phone (4b) still offers 8GB + 128GB at Rs 39,999 and 8GB + 256GB at Rs 40,999. The Phone (4a) also remains available in 8GB + 128GB, 8GB + 256GB and 12GB + 256GB, with the top option reaching Rs 50,999. Black, Blue and White are offered on both phones. Pink on the Phone (4a) stays limited to higher-memory models.

Hardware has not changed. Both phones support dual SIM and ship with Nothing OS 4.1 on Android 16.

The Phone (4a) has a 6.78-inch LTPS flexible AMOLED screen at 1,224 x 2,720 pixels. It supports a 120Hz refresh rate, peak brightness up to 4,500 nits, gaming-mode touch sampling up to 2,500Hz, 2,160Hz PWM dimming and Gorilla Glass 7i. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 powers the device. Memory goes up to 12GB of LPDDR4x RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The battery is 5,400mAh.

The Phone (4b) uses a 6,000mAh battery and a 6.77-inch Full-HD+ Samsung Super AMOLED panel at 1,080 x 2,344 pixels with a 120Hz refresh rate. A 4nm Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chipset drives it. The Glyph Bar remains part of the design.

The new 6GB models lower the starting ticket after the recent price rise. Buyers should still check live Flipkart offers, because memory-market pressure can change list prices again.

KelpDAO Sues LayerZero Over $292 Million rsETH Exploit

KelpDAO has taken LayerZero to court in Canada. Evercrest Technologies, the company behind Kelp, filed the claim in British Columbia. The suit also names LayerZero co-founder Bryan Pellegrino. Kelp announced the filing on September 24.

The case follows an April 18 attack. Attackers released 116,500 rsETH through a cross-chain bridge. That haul was worth about $292 million, or roughly Rs. 2,797 crore, at the time. Kelp says LayerZero failed to disclose weaknesses in its technology. It also says attackers were able to compromise LayerZero’s verification system.

Pellegrino rejects the claim. He called the case “meritless.” He said he will defend himself and LayerZero in Vancouver. The civil filing names both the company and Pellegrino personally.

The fight centers on how the rsETH bridge was set up. Kelp says LayerZero reviewed and approved the deployment. According to Kelp, that written backing undercuts LayerZero’s later argument. LayerZero later said Kelp used a dangerous single-verifier design.

LayerZero offered a different account after the exploit. It said Kelp used a 1-of-1 Decentralized Verifier Network. In that setup, one verifier could approve a false cross-chain message. LayerZero said it had urged verifier diversification. It called the single path a point of failure.

LayerZero’s later report added another layer. It said hackers first breached LayerZero Labs infrastructure. That report, published in May, said the intrusion began on March 6. An attacker socially engineered a LayerZero developer and obtained session credentials. The attacker then reached LayerZero’s RPC cloud network and tampered with internal nodes. Funds moved later through the rsETH bridge.

Kelp still places blame on LayerZero’s cross-chain stack. After the attack, it said it would move rsETH to Chainlink’s oracle platform. LayerZero continues to argue that Kelp’s own DVN choice left only one verified path. Both sides now want a court to decide who bears the loss.

HMD Confirms Vibe 2 Pro India Launch for September 29

HMD has locked the India launch date for the Vibe 2 Pro. The company also shared colour options and key specs before the official event. With this model, HMD expands the Vibe 2 lineup that arrived in India earlier this year.

The Vibe 2 Pro will go on sale in India on September 29. Flipkart will handle sales. A dedicated microsite is already live on the platform. Meanwhile, the listing teases a 6.78-inch Full-HD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate.

Buyers can choose from three shades. Those options are Aqua Green, Cosmic Purple, and Silver Mist.

Under the hood, the phone pairs a MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset with up to 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. In addition, a 6,000mAh battery supports 33W wired fast charging. The device also keeps a 3.5mm headphone jack.

On the camera side, a dual rear setup leads with a 64-megapixel Sony IMX682 primary sensor. A 2-megapixel macro lens sits beside it. Up front, a 13-megapixel camera handles selfies and video calls.

Software arrives with Android 16 out of the box. HMD also includes Indus AI. The company says the feature supports 22 Indian languages.

This handset becomes the second model in the Vibe series. HMD launched the Vibe 2 5G in India in May at an opening price of Rs. 10,999. That phone offered a 6.7-inch 120Hz display, a 50-megapixel primary camera, and a 6,000mAh battery with 18W charging. The Pro variant now steps up the camera, charging speed, and on-device AI. Price details remain pending until launch day.

OnePlus Confirms 200MP Main Camera on the Upcoming OnePlus 16

OnePlus has officially listed the camera setup for its next flagship. The OnePlus 16 will use a 200-megapixel primary camera. Two 50-megapixel rear cameras will sit with it. The details match earlier leaks. The company had already shown design, display, and storage options. The phone is due in China in October. It will come in three colours and four memory variants. OnePlus has also said the handset will use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chipset.

The brand posted the camera facts on Weibo. It also pointed to Oppo’s Lumo imaging engine. The main sensor measures 1/1.4 inch. Aperture is f/1.6. The ultrawide camera stays at 50 megapixels with a 116-degree field of view. The telephoto camera is a 50-megapixel Sony IMX882 unit with 3x optical zoom. That zoom is a step down from the OnePlus 15, which offered 3.5x. The front camera rises from 32 megapixels to 50 megapixels. OnePlus will add Lumo colour management. Open Gate support is also listed.

Other confirmed options match earlier posts. Colours are Tomorrow’s Star, Martian Masterpiece, and Dark Forest. Storage pairs are 12GB + 256GB, 12GB + 512GB, 16GB + 512GB, and 16GB + 1TB.

A recent report described a flat, simple body with a flat screen and thin bezels. It also outlined preset functions for a customisable shortcut key. The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 uses a 2nm process. OnePlus is said to have scheduled a Game Conference 2026 for 28 September. That event may show more on raw performance. The BOE 165Hz display is also said to reach 185Hz in a gaming mode.

India timing and price remain unlisted. The October China launch should settle the remaining hardware questions.

Nvidia Releases Isaac ROS 5.0 With AI-Agent Workflows

Nvidia has released Isaac ROS 5.0. It is the latest version of the company’s open-source robotics platform. The update adds AI-agent tools to the ROS ecosystem. Developers get reusable workflows to build, customise, and deploy robot applications. Nvidia says the release simplifies some of the harder stages of development. It still targets Nvidia accelerated computing hardware. The platform also adds support for newer ROS and Ubuntu releases.

Isaac ROS 5.0 includes agent-ready documentation and reusable skills. Those skills cover tasks such as robot setup and manipulation. AI agents can use the documentation to work with Isaac ROS tools. Nvidia says that approach can turn requirements into working applications faster.

A FoundationStereo fine-tuning skill lets an agent adapt the stereo perception model. The model can be tuned to a developer’s cameras, environment, and application. Nvidia says that can improve perception accuracy for a given sensor setup.

The company also added an agent-ready inference library for FoundationPose. That model estimates and tracks an object’s position and orientation. Nvidia claims the new implementation can track objects up to 5.5 times faster. A pick-and-place skill offers a reusable workflow for a common manipulation task.

The skills therefore go beyond one-off coding help. Agents can reach specific robotics models and workflows. Developers can use them at several stages while staying on Isaac ROS.

Isaac ROS 5.0 also supports ROS Lyrical and Ubuntu 24.04. Nvidia worked with the Open Source Robotics Alliance on a standard data-handling interface for ROS Lyrical. The interface is meant to help robotics software run across hardware types, including GPUs. Nvidia says it gives a consistent way to accelerate supported applications.

The release covers Jetson hardware from the Orin Nano to Jetson Thor. That path lets teams test an application and then run heavier workloads on compatible Jetson boards. Nvidia says Isaac ROS 5.0 is available now as free open-source software.

Oppo Raises Prices of Four Phones in India

Oppo has increased the prices of four smartphones in India. The Reno 16c, A6 5G, A6x 5G, and A6c now cost more in several memory options. The company’s official website already shows the new figures. The jumps range from Rs 1,000 to Rs 4,000.

The Reno 16c saw the steepest change, up to Rs 4,000. Tipster Sanju Choudhary first flagged the listings. The 8 GB plus 128 GB model now costs Rs 52,999, up from Rs 49,999. The 8 GB plus 256 GB model moved from Rs 53,999 to Rs 57,999. The 12 GB plus 256 GB model is now Rs 62,999, up from Rs 59,999.

The A6 5G also costs more in the updated list. The 4 GB plus 128 GB variant is Rs 29,999. The 6 GB plus 128 GB variant is Rs 31,999. The 6 GB plus 256 GB variant is Rs 35,999. Earlier, those three options were Rs 28,999, Rs 31,999, and Rs 31,999.

The A6x 5G followed the same trend. The 4 GB plus 64 GB model rose from Rs 18,999 to Rs 19,999. The 4 GB plus 128 GB model rose from Rs 21,999 to Rs 23,999. The 6 GB plus 128 GB model rose from Rs 24,999 to Rs 26,999.

The A6c had a smaller Rs 1,000 increase on both versions. The 4 GB plus 64 GB model is now Rs 17,999, up from Rs 16,999. The 4 GB plus 128 GB model is now Rs 19,999, up from Rs 18,999.

The revisions come as other brands, including Samsung and Realme, have also raised prices in India. Industry reports have pointed to higher memory and component costs. Oppo has not given its own reason for the change.

Shoppers should check the official site and store offers before they buy. Listed prices can still differ after bank discounts.
