Click Here To Register...] In AnTuTu’s performance ranking, the top Snapdragon 8 Elite phones post scores just north of 2.5 million, but most are below that – some going down to 2.2 million (e.g. Galaxy S25 Ultra and OnePlus 13). Dimensity 9400 phones are in the mix too, but under the 2.5 million barrier.So, where will Xiaomi’s self-developed Xring O1 chipset land? Weibo poster Xiaomu Technology shared an AnTuTu result, which ended right on the 2.5 million mark. The phone on the left is the Xiaomi 15 Pro (Snapdragon 8 Elite) and the one on the right is its replacement, the Xiaomi 15S Pro with the new Xring...

Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 will be powered by the familiar Exynos W1000 ch
[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] The Galaxy Watch8 series is right around the corner. As far as we currently know, it will drop in early July alongside the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7. We already know quite a bit about the Watch8, and the latest industry chatter claims that Samsung will reuse its own Exynos W1000 chip from last year.The Exynos W1000 is still a top dog in the smartwatch realm. It is effectively one of the fastest, if not the fastest, watch chip with its penta-core CPU setup, consisting of four ARM Cortex-A55 cores, clocked at up to 1.5 GHz and a Cortex-A78, working at up to 1.6 GHz.

Deals: Galaxy S24 FE and A56 get a free watch, Poco X7 and F7 prices f
[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] Samsung is running a “Sweet Summertime Upgrade” promotion, meaning that several Galaxy models are paired with a free Galaxy Watch7. The two we picked are the S24 FE and A56.The Samsung Galaxy S24 FE is £100 off at the moment and seeing how the 256GB variant is only £60 more than the 128GB one, that’s the one we’d recommend – storage is non-expandable and 128GB is pretty tight.The phone’s Exynos 2400e is pretty zippy and the 50+8+12MP camera setup includes a 75mm 3x telephoto camera. The battery situation is typical for Samsung with 5,000mAh capacity and 25W wired charging, but at...

iPhone 17 Air's weight rumored along with silicon-carbon battery, inte
[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] The iPhone 17 Air is coming this September to replace the iPhone 16 Plus, and today a new report gives us some more details about its weight. This is said to be 146g, although past reports have also claimed 145g and 150g. So it's probably safe to assume it will weigh between 145g and 150g.That means it will be lighter than Samsung's Galaxy S25 Edge. Part of this is due to the fact that Apple won't be using a titanium frame like Samsung, instead going with the lighter 7000 series aluminum. This makes the frame weigh 25-30g. The OLED display comes in at 35g, the single 48 MP rear camera at...

Your Galaxy Z Flip7 might not have an Exynos chip after all
[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip7 is expected to launch in early July alongside the Galaxy Z Fold7, and we've recently heard that the Flip7 would be using Samsung's long-delayed Exynos 2500 chipset. Yesterday, a benchmark run of the US-bound model surfaced with the Exynos 2500 on board, and that seemed to settle things regarding regional availability - in short, it looked like the Exynos would be in worldwide.Today, however, a new report from Samsung's home of Korea claims otherwise. According to a local publication, the Exynos 2500 will only be used in the Flip7 in Korea, while every other region...

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] Samsung's chip-manufacturing business isn't doing great, and poor yield is partially to blame. Even the Galaxy S25 series switched entirely to Snapdragon this year.

Apple rumored to be testing a 200 MP camera ahead of three years of iP
[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] Apple has never been one to quickly jump onto trends, taking its sweet time and only using a new technology when it feels it's mature enough. That may be the point that 200 MP cameras have just reached, since Apple is now rumored to be testing just such a sensor.There is no more information on the matter at all, so we don't even know which particular sensor and for what camera, but it is an interesting development nevertheless. Of its competitors, Samsung has enjoyed using 200 MP for its Ultra's main camera (and now the S25 Edge's as well), while most other companies have only done so...
