Google‘s upcoming Pixel 9 series, and possibly the Pixel Fold 2, are expected to feature the Tensor G4 chip. The SoC is rumored to be produced by Samsung Electronics Foundry.
A recent report from the Korean publicationFinancial News, backed by industry sources, corroborates that Google and Samsung are collaborating on the Tensor G4.
The Tensor G4 is said to utilize Samsung’s advanced 4-nanometer process alongside FOWLP (Fan-out Wafer Level Packaging).
The result, the report says, will be improved thermal management, power efficiency, and performance, areas where the previous Tensor G3 reportedly fell short compared to competitors.
The report adds that the decision for Google to opt for Samsung Electronics’ 4nm process stems from the positive reception of Samsung’s Exynos 2400 chip used in the Galaxy S24 series. That means the success of the Exynos 2400 chip has certainly bolstered Samsung’s reputation as a capable semiconductor manufacturer.
Not only Google, but also other tech industry players seem interested in alternatives to TSMC, as evidenced by visits from leaders at Open AI, TenStorrent, and Meta to Samsung Electronics.
As for the Tensor G4 SoC specs, there’s still much we don’t know. A previous leak suggested the chip might include a hardware-based ray-tracing GPU, which isn’t surprising considering Samsung has been integrating it with their Exynos processors for a few generations now.
Moreover, the rumor suggests that Google will be sticking with a tried-and-tested 3-core architecture featuring Cortex-X4, Cortex-A720, and Cortex-A520 cores. While the exact core count remains unknown, we can expect the new chip to offer better performance. We’ll keep you posted on any further updates regarding the Tensor G4 SoC.
According to rumors, Vivo is working on the Vivo Pad 3 series of flagship tablets for the Chinese market. The standard model is said to feature the upcoming Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset. On the other hand, the Pad 3 Pro could be the world’s first tablet to feature the Dimensity 9300 chipset. Since the chipset of the standard model hasn’t been officially announced yet, it is speculated that it may debut a bit later. On the other hand, the Pro variant is expected to debut with the Vivo X Fold 3 series of foldable phones in the last week of March in China. In the previous week, Digital Chat Station leaked the key specifications of the device, but he did not reveal its battery size. Today, the tipster released a new Weibo post to reveal the battery capacity of the Pad 3 Pro as well as reiterate its other specifications.

The Dimensity 9300-powered tablet will ship with 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of internal storage. The device will likely ship with OriginOS for Pad-based Android 14. The new OS is expected to provide a seamless connectivity experience with other Vivo devices. In addition, the tablet will be used to use the mobile network to make and receive calls / messages.
The rear panel of the Vivo Pad 3 Pro may feature a 13-megapixel camera. On the front, it may have an 8-megapixel camera. In today’s leak, DCS also shared an image of a Vivo tablet, which is not the Pad 3 Pro but the Vivo Pad Air that launched in 2023.
Realme is said to be working on the Realme GT Neo 6 series of smartphones for the Chinese market. The lineup is expected to include two devices, such as the GT Neo 6 and the GT Neo 6 SE. As the moniker implies, these devices will succeed the GT Neo 5 and GT Neo 5 SE from last year. Today, tipster Digital Chat Station leaked the key details about the GT Neo 6 SE.
Realme GT Neo 6 SE key specifications (rumored)
According to the leaker, the Realme GT Neo 6 SE will have an LTPO OLED panel that offers a 1.5K resolution. Under the hood, the device will have a 5,500mAh battery and the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chipset.
The leaker claimed that the core specifications of the GT Neo 6 SE will stand unrivalled within its price range. Additionally, he emphasized that the LTPO feature of the Neo 6 SE will be unique, surpassing the offerings of many flagship phones. This technology will allow the device to offer an outstanding battery life by consuming less power. Moreover, the LTPO screen is highly regarded for its excellence, ensuring top-notch performance even during mode switches.
Reports have revealed that the OnePlus Ace 3V, which is expected to launch later this month in China, will be the world’s first Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 phone. Hence, there is a possibility that the GT Neo 6 SE may debut soon after the Ace 3V.
As far as the Realme GT Neo 6 is concerned, the device is said to feature the more powerful Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset. It is said to be equipped with other specs, such as a 1.5K OLED panel, 24 GB of RAM, and 1 TB of storage. It is unclear whether it will launch this month or in April.
Recent reports have claimed that Oppo may soon announce the Oppo K12 as its first K-series phone of the year in China. Recently, tipster Digital Chat Station released a Weibo post to confirm the key specifications of the device. In a newer Weibo post, the leaker has published a schematic of the Oppo K12 to reveal its design.

The Oppo K12 schematic shows that it has a punch-hole OLED panel on the front, which seems to be integrated with a fingerprint scanner. On the back, it has two cameras and an LED flash placed on an elevated module at the top-left corner.
The K12’s schematic also shows the presence of an alert slider on the left side. The right edge of the phone features a volume rocker and a power key. It appears that the K12 will have a dual speaker system, with one most likely placed in the bottom edge, and the other one lodged in the top bezel.

The Oppo K12 rumors have revealed that it will feature a 6.7-inch OLED panel that produces a 1.5K resolution and possibly a 120Hz refresh rate. The device will come equipped with pre-installed ColorOS 14-based Android 14.
On the front, it will feature a 16-megapixel camera and its rear shell will have a 50-megapixel + 8-megapixel + 2-megapixel triple camera unit. Under the hood, the device will have the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset, 12 GB of RAM, and 512 GB of storage.
ONePlus Ace 3V leaked shot
There is no information about the battery size or charging capabilities of the phone. It appears that it may inherit the 5,000mAh battery with 100W fast charging support from the Oppo K11, which debuted last year. To recall, the Oppo K11 5G and the OnePlus Ace 2V sported a similar design but packed different internals. It appears that Oppo will use the same strategy for the upcoming Oppo K12 and Ace 3V. A leaked image (shown below) of the Ace 3V showcases a camera module that’s quite similar to the above schematic. Therefore, it seems that the K12 and Ace 3V may have a similar appearance but different internals, as the latter is said to come equipped with the more powerful Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chipset.
Creative professionals seeking a high-quality display with seamless integration with their Mac setups now have a new option from BenQ. The company recently launched the PD3225U, a 32-inch 4K monitor boasting several features specifically designed for Mac users.
The refresh rate is limited to 60Hz, but the monitor is not specifically meant for gaming
Building upon its predecessor, the PD3220U, the PD3225U offers several enhancements catered towards creative workflows. These include an improved DCI-P3 color space (98% coverage), ensuring accurate color reproduction crucial for tasks like photo editing and video production. Additionally, the monitor boasts “precise color matching for Macs,” aiming to deliver color fidelity consistent with what users see on their MacBook Pro laptops.

The anti-glare finish minimizes reflections, while the 2000:1 contrast ratio promises deep blacks and vivid colors. While the refresh rate is limited to 60Hz, the monitor offers HDR support (HDR10/Display HDR 400) for enhanced contrast and color depth in compatible content.
Beyond the display itself, the PD3225U caters to Mac users in several ways. The included Hotkey Puck G2 allows for quick adjustments to various monitor settings, and the Display Pilot 2 software enables brightness control directly from the Mac keyboard. Notably, the monitor features one Thunderbolt 3 port with 85W power delivery, allowing users to connect their MacBook and power it simultaneously.
While some might have preferred a 5K resolution or higher power delivery via the Thunderbolt port, these features would likely push the price closer to competitors like Apple’s Studio Display and Samsung’s ViewFinity S9.
The BenQ PD3225U is available for purchase directly from BenQ, Amazon, and other retailers for a price of $1,099. While not the most feature-packed option on the market, it presents a compelling choice for Mac-using creative professionals seeking a high-quality 4K display with color accuracy and convenient integration features at a competitive price point.

Chipmaker MediaTek has been named the most popular SoC vendor at the end of 2023. The company is reputed for manufacturing the fastest smartphone processor ever produced. The MediaTek Dimensity 9300 and other MediaTek offerings are the dominant chipsets in the smartphone market currently.
A new report by Canalys highlights the evolution of MediaTek as the SoC vendor of choice in 2023. The report stated that MediaTek sold 117 million units of chipsets in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to Apple’s 78 million and Qualcomm’s 69 million. Other big players in the smartphone SoC market are Google, Samsung, and Unisoc. Smartphone shipments by MediaTek within the year also grew by 21% year-on-year (YoY) to $23 billion. However, Apple’s $87 billion in shipments revenue eclipsed that of MediaTek. Qualcomm also outperformed MediaTek with shipments worth $30 billion in 2023.
The Canalys report indicates that Qualcomm’s SoC shipment revenue shrank by 2% from the previous year (2022). Samsung’s earnings from its Exynos chips declined by 44% and it seemed apparent that it could have fared better with chips from other brands during Q4 2023. This was equivalent to about 40% of Qualcomm’s returns and 25% of MediaTek’s numbers for the quarter. The report also indicates that Xiaomi was the major buyer of Qualcomm chipsets at 25%. Xiaomi also accounted for about 20% of MediaTek chipsets shipments in Q4 2023 but Samsung was the biggest customer for the vendor.
Huawei hit the market with a bang in 2023 according to the Canalys report. The Chinese OEM recorded a 5,121% improvement with 7 million units shipped and revenue of $7 billion. Huawei’s resurgence is driven mainly by its new Kirin SoCs. Another strong performer with a potential for improved growth was Unisoc. Its revenues grew by 24% YoY at $3 billion and shipments were 27 million units. The major customers of Unisoc were the Transsion brands, as well as Realme and Lenovo. The report indicated that Google seemingly performed poorly in terms of Soc shipments with revenue estimated at $2 billion and 3 million units moved. This may not be unconnected with the nature of its Tensor chipsets which are produced exclusively for Pixel phones.

A breakthrough for diabetes management arrived on March 6th with the FDA‘s approval of Dexcom’s Stelo glucose biosensor system. This revolutionary device, the first of its kind, allows for over-the-counter, prescription-free blood sugar monitoring for individuals with non-insulin-dependent diabetes or those at risk of developing the condition.
The glucose monitor displays readings every 15 minutes
Unlike traditional methods, Stelo utilizes a wearable sensor and smartphone app to continuously monitor glucose levels, displaying readings every 15 minutes. Each sensor lasts up to 15 days before needing replacement, offering a convenient and long-lasting solution.
The FDA highlighted the significance of this approval, emphasizing its potential to increase accessibility to blood sugar monitoring and empower individuals to manage their health from the comfort of their homes.
While Stelo represents a major step forward, the ultimate goal in diabetes management remains non-invasive blood glucose monitoring. This technology, though initially planned for the Apple Watch, has yet to be realized due to current limitations. The FDA also cautions against unapproved non-invasive alternatives, stressing their unreliability.
Despite the current absence of non-invasive options, Dexcom’s Stelo marks a significant advancement in diabetes management, offering a convenient and accessible solution for many people. The future of blood sugar monitoring, however, holds the promise of even more innovative and non-invasive approaches.

Apple products often make headlines for their high prices. Consumers around the world hesitate to pay between $799 and $1,599 for iPhone 15 models. In fact, Apple is aiming to reach more users by developing affordable smartphones like the iPhone SE 4. However, in a market where many of us find $1000 expensive, there is a country that sells the iPhone 15 Pro Max for over $3,400. Yes, Turkey once again holds the record for selling the most expensive iPhone in the world. Here are the details…
Turkey’s $3,400 iPhone Once AgainCrowned World’s Most Expensive iPhone
When we say “Most expensive iPhone in the world,” many of us think of Caviar’s iPhone models covered in gold and jewels. Yes, these iPhones, sold for thousands of dollars more, are incredibly expensive. However, users who purchase them are not paying for the phone itself but rather for the custom luxury design it possesses. What I mean by “most expensive iPhone in the world” is actually the familiar iPhone 15 that can be obtained for much less than any Apple Store around the world.
Apple recently updated its prices in Turkey, along with the introduction of the MacBook Air equipped with the M3 processor. As you may know, Turkey is particularly known for its high taxes on smartphones. Therefore, when prices increase, the impact is felt twice as much. After the price hike, the cost of the 1 TB iPhone 15 Pro Max, now the most expensive option, is 107,999 TL, which is more than $3,400. To put it in perspective, the same phone is sold in the United States for $1,599. Even in Brazil, the second-highest priced location, you would need to pay $2,800 for the same phone.
The fact that a phone is expensive does not necessarily mean it’s a negative thing right? If the purchasing power in a country is high, it may not be an issue for the people. Unfortunately, this is not the case, and the only sad thing is not just the prices of iPhones in Turkey. A large part of the country works for minimum wage, and with the current wages, it takes more than 6 months to save enough money to buy an iPhone 15 Pro Max. The absurd part is that these prices are not due to Apple. As mentioned above, the tax rates in the country are very high, and Turkey earns more money than Apple for every phone sold, which is quite ironic.
If you’re wondering, here is the list of countries where iPhones are most expensive in the world:
