A Vivo rep told GSM Arena that the company has cancelled the Vivo X80 Pro+ and is getting closer to the X90 series, which is reportedly set to launch in late 2022. The Vivo X90 series is expected to be launched in December. It was previously rumoured that it could be a significant improvement over its predecessor. According to reports, the Vivo X90 Pro+ is expected to be the top model of the Vivo X90 series.

The Vivo X70 series was launched in September last year, and less than seven months later, Vivo first launched the Vivo X80 series in April, followed by May in India.

The flagship series will be launched in India in coming months.

The Vivo X90 Pro+ will also feature a 1-inch camera sensor and a new telephoto shooter. The Vivo X90 Pro+ will also come with a new Samsung E6 AMOLED display and UFS 4.0 storage.

The Vivo X80 Pro+ was previously expected to come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 and an upgraded camera setup rumoured to swap dual telephoto lenses of 12 and 8 megapixels in 50 megapixel increments.

Deep Fake Defense 101: Learn How to Stop the Spread of Deceptive Videos

In recent times, video calls have become a popular way for people to connect with their loved ones or colleagues across the globe. However, it's important to be cautious during video calls, as advancements in technology, particularly artificial intelligence (AI), have made it easier for fraudsters to deceive unsuspecting individuals. A case in point is an incident in northern China where a man fell victim to an AI-driven video call scam involving deepfake technology. Using AI-powered face-swapping, the scammer posed as the victim's close friend during the call and convinced him to transfer a significant amount of money. The victim realized he had been duped when his real friend expressed no knowledge of the call. Fortunately, local police were able to recover most of the stolen money and are actively working to trace the remaining amount. To combat the growing threat of AI-driven scams, China has implemented new rules to provide legal protection for victims and has been tightening its scrutiny of such technology. Now the question arises, how can one spot a fake video call? Here are some signs to watch out for: Video quality: Fake videos often have poor quality. Look for watermarks or other indications that the video is sourced online. Contact information: Verify if the caller is on your contact list and if the displayed name matches the contact information you have for that person. Video sizing: Pay attention to any distortion in the video proportions, as fake video calls may require resizing to fit the webcam window. Given the rise of AI-based scams in India, it is crucial for individuals to remain vigilant and exercise caution during video and voice calls. A study revealed that India has the highest number of victims, with 83% of Indians falling prey to fraudulent activities. Deepfake technology has become a concern in recent years. It involves the use of AI to create realistic yet fake videos or images by collecting and mimicking visual and audio data of the target individual, often obtained from publicly available sources like social media. In summary, staying alert and being aware of the signs of a fake video call can help protect individuals from falling victim to AI-driven scams.
