Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 tablet reportedly powered by MediaTek Helio G99 SoC

Samsung recently launched the Galaxy Tab S9 series of tablets as the flagship offering from the brand, but now the South Korean giant is gearing up to launch a new budget tablet under the Galaxy A-series, dubbed Samsung Galaxy Tab A9.

Ahead of the official launch of the Galaxy Tab A9, the device has been spotted on the BIS certification website, indicating that it will soon launch in the Indian market. Now, the chipset powering the tablet has also been leaked online.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 Plus

According to the new report, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 will come powered by the MediaTek Helio G99 processor. It appears to be much better in terms of performance when compared to the MediaTek MT8768 powering the Galaxy A7 tablet.

The MediaTek Helio G99 SoC is built using a 6nm process by TSMC and the company claims that it enables great gaming all day, plus big cameras, fast displays, smooth streaming, and reliable global connectivity. It packs two Cortex-A76 cores at 2.2GHz and six Cortex-A55 cores at 2.0GHz, coupled with Mali-G57 MC2 GPU.

Based on the BIS Certification listing, the Galaxy Tab A9 carries the SM-X115 model number and will offer 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and FM support. Under the hood, the device is powered by a 5,100mAh battery and has support for 15W fast charging.

Quick Take: Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 vs Motorola Razr 40 Ultra – Which Is Better Value?

Motorola released the Razr 40 Ultra in June, followed closely by Samsung‘s Z Flip 5 in July, creating a short one-month gap between the launches. These two phones are currently the hottest clamshell phones.

Reports indicate that the majority of people choosing foldable phones favor clamshell phones, particularly among females. So I guess this is the right opportunity to give you an informed decision about which phone you should go with. Let’s delve into the details.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 vs Motorola Razr 40 Ultra

Display and Design

Both the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Motorola Razr 40 Ultra look similar as they are clamshell phones, but they also have noticeable differences. The Razr 40 Ultra features larger AMOLED screens, boasting a 6.9-inch main screen with a 165 Hz refresh rate compared to the Z Flip 5’s 6.7-inch screen with 120 Hz. Both support HDR10+ and have the same resolution.

galaxy-z-flip-5

Externally, the Razr 40 Ultra’s 3.6-inch display is larger and offers smoother animations, although it’s partially obstructed by camera lenses. The Z Flip 5 uses a folder-shaped 3.4-inch display to avoid camera interference, but the Razr’s design seems more integrated.

Motorola leads in screen size, resolution, and refresh rate, but the Flip has superior peak brightness, making it better for outdoor usage. While the Razr can run apps on its external display directly, the Flip requires adjustments to do so.

Motorola Razr 40 Ultra build

Both phones aim for a compact and premium feel. The Razr 40 Ultra measures 170.8 x 74 x 7 mm and weighs 185g, while the Z Flip 5 is slightly heavier at 187g but slimmer at 165.1 x 71.9 x 6.9 mm.

A YouTuber’s test revealed that the Z Flip 5’s hinge endured more than 2,67,000 folds, surpassing the Razr 40 Ultra’s hinge durability of 1,26,367 folds.

The Z Flip 5 also has an IPX8 water resistance rating, while the Razr has an IP52 rating for dust resistance.

Although the Razr 40 Ultra has certain advantages, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 excels in overall usage and checks all the boxes. Therefore, my recommendation would be to choose the Flip 5.

Performance & Software

Coming to performance, both devices pack a punch. The Razr 40 Ultra is equipped with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, ensuring a smooth user experience. However, the Z Flip5, with its Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, offers a slight edge in speed.

Storage-wise, the Z Flip 5 offers 8GB RAM and up to 512GB of the fast UFS 4.0 storage. The Razr 40 Ultra matches the 8GB RAM but provides only 256GB of the slightly slower UFS 3.1 storage.

On the software front, both phones use Android 13. However, Samsung’s Z Flip 5 has their custom OneUI which is tuned for foldable phones and offers up to four major Android updates. The Razr 40 Ultra keeps things simple with a near-stock Android look and commits to three major Android updates. This segment is very subjective but personally, I would lean towards One UI here.

Camera

Both the Motorola Razr 40 Ultra and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 are equipped with dual-camera systems. The Razr 40 Ultra features a 12MP wide sensor and a 13MP ultra-wide lens, while also boasting a 32MP front camera. On the other hand, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 comes with dual 12MP rear sensors (wide and ultra-wide) and a 10MP front camera. On paper, the Razr seems superior, especially in the selfie department.

Moto Razr 40 Ultra camera

However, real-world performance tells a different story. The Razr’s camera often produces unsatisfactory photos with issues like blown-out colors and blurry images sometimes. Long-range shooting is subpar, and zooming beyond 3x leads to unsatisfactory color quality in images. According to our YT Editor, the Razr 40 Ultra’s camera performs slightly better than typical $300 phones.

galaxy-z-flip-5-camera

In contrast, the Flip 5, building on Samsung’s camera expertise, delivers clearer and more consistent shots, outdoing the Razr with ease.

A notable feature of both devices is the ability to use the main camera for selfies, thanks to their design. Here, the Flip 5 takes the lead again, making it the better choice for photography enthusiasts.

Battery & Charging

The Galaxy Z Flip 5 packs a 3700mAh battery, slightly smaller than the Razr 40 Ultra’s 3800mAh. Both phones offer roughly a day’s battery life, with the Flip 5 showing slight improvements over its predecessor. When it comes to charging, the Razr 40 Ultra supports 30W wired and 5W wireless charging.

In contrast, the Flip 5 offers 25W wired charging and a better 15W wireless charging. Neither phone excels in charging speeds, but they serve the basic needs adequately. Overall, while the Razr has a marginally bigger battery, the Flip 5 offers slightly faster wireless charging.

Pricing

The Galaxy Z Flip 5 starts at $999.99 with 256GB storage. A higher storage variant, 512GB, is available for $1119.99. On the other side, the Razr 40 Ultra, also known as Razr+ in the US, is priced at $999.99 and offers 256GB storage with no other storage options.

Verdict

While Motorola’s Razr 40 Ultra impressed with its stylish design and better screen, Samsung’s Z Flip 5 has taken the lead with superior performance, memory, and longer software support.

If you want a trendy look, go for the Razr. For top-notch performance and updates, choose the Z Flip 5. Both have their merits, but the Z Flip 5 seems like a wiser choice in the long run.

Baidu’s Ernie Bot takes China by storm but faces challenges in public debut

Baidu’s Ernie Bot, a generative AI service, has made a resounding debut in China, garnering tremendous attention and downloads. However, it’s not all smooth sailing for this innovative technology.

Ernie Bot’s public debut was met with an overwhelming response, with over 313,610 downloads on Apple’s Chinese iOS store and a staggering 2.4 million downloads across various Android app stores on its first day of launch. Users flocked to test the capabilities of this AI service, resulting in a flood of questions, a staggering 33 million within the first 24 hours.

The Chinese government recently lifted restrictions on several generative AI services, including Ernie Bot, as part of its efforts to regulate the technology. Other approved services include AI specialist SenseTime, Baichuan, founded by Sogou’s Wang Xiaochuan, and state-backed Zhipu AI.

Ernie Bot’s instant popularity was undeniable, but it faced difficulties in responding to specific queries and occasionally provided answers that left users dissatisfied. Screenshots of conversations with the AI chatbot revealed instances where it either failed to respond or delivered biased answers.

One notable example was when users asked which of the founders of Baidu, Alibaba Group Holding, and Tencent Holdings could be considered “capitalist.” Ernie Bot pointed to the founders of Alibaba and Tencent but conspicuously excluded Baidu’s founder, Robin Li. This raised eyebrows, especially given the similar business practices of all three tech giants.

In another test, Ernie Bot struggled to answer the same question, generating a lengthy Wikipedia-style profile of the three businessmen and essentially avoiding a direct response, even when explicitly instructed to reply with a simple “yes” or “no.”

Despite these hiccups, Ernie Bot’s rapid adoption and the sheer volume of questions it received underline the curiosity and eagerness of Chinese users to explore generative AI services. The 33 million questions it fielded on its debut day attest to the immense interest in this technology.

The technology’s approval by the Chinese government is a significant step forward, following the enactment of comprehensive regulations on generative AI just two weeks prior. Ernie Bot, along with other approved services, is now poised to shape the future of AI interactions in China.

However, the challenges it faced in providing accurate and impartial responses highlight the complexities involved in developing AI systems that can navigate sensitive or politically charged topics. As China continues to embrace generative AI, striking the right balance between innovation and responsible AI use will be an ongoing concern.

Vivo Y17s runs Geekbench with a budget-friendly processor

The Vivo Y series is constantly releasing new smartphones. Recently, the company introduced the Vivo Y77t in China with a Dimensity 7020 processor. The company also launched the Vivo Y78+ (t1) version last month. Now, another Vivo smartphone has been spotted on the Geekbench website, suggesting an imminent launch. The Vivo Y17s could be a new mid-range smartphone from the brand. Here are the details.

The Vivo Y17s, model number V2310, recently appeared on Geekbench, revealing some interesting details about its performance. In the benchmark, the phone scored 328 on the single-core test and 1161 on the multi-core test. This suggests that it will be powered by an octa-core Unisoc Tiger T700 processor and the Mali G52 MC2 GPU.

Vivo Y17s

The listing also shows that the phone will have 4GB of RAM (although the listing says 3.66GB). It is also expected to run Android 13 out of the box with a layer of Funtouch OS skin on top.

A recent BIS and Bluetooth SIG listing of the smartphone revealed it will offer 4G connectivity with Bluetooth 5.0. The Vivo Y17s’s release date in India is still unknown, but it is likely to be released in the next few months. Based on the name, the Vivo Y17s appears to be a refreshed version of the Vivo Y17. However, it is also possible that these two phones are unrelated, as the Vivo Y17 was released four years ago.

Like other models in the Vivo Y series, the Vivo Y17s is likely to be a budget-friendly smartphone with modest specs. We can expect a large display with at least a 90Hz refresh rate, as well as a 5,000mAh battery and a less powerful MediaTek processor.

Xiaomi users report they found browser hacking malware on their phones

Xiaomi users are making a controversial claim about the company’s smartphones. According to these users, their Xiaomi smartphones have malware named Mintnav installed, which purportedly hacks the Chrome browser.

Xiaomi-Logo

There has been no news about how this malware may have affected the smartphones. The user who first reported about it on Reddit writes:

Hey, guys I have recently seen on all my Xiaomi phones that my Google Chrome home page was changed to a site named “Mintnav”, be careful to change it, I didn’t find any documentation about this site so I think it’s a scam (a thing that I found to many time made by Xiaomi)

After catching the news, several users on Twitter/X also complained about it, with one even tagging India’s Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology.

When we attempted to gather more information about this purported malware, we encountered a lack of comprehensive details. A tutorial website, Howtoremove Guide, states “Mintnav falls into the category of browser hijacker applications, and although it may not inflict significant direct harm, it can certainly be a source of considerable annoyance and disruption to your daily web browsing activities.”

While users’ concerns are valid, it’s unclear how this unknown program made its way onto Xiaomi phones. We haven’t heard any complaints about Mintnav from users of other brands, so it’s possible that Xiaomi is somehow involved. It could be that this alleged malware appeared on Xiaomi smartphones after an update.

If you are getting this malware on your Chrome browser, you can remove it by going into your Chrome settings under “Homepage” and disabling the option or changing it to the default Chrome homepage.

Nintendo: The Company Where Everyone Wants to Work and Nobody Wants to Leave

Nintendo is one of the most successful gaming companies in the world. The company is riding high on the success of both its Switch handheld gaming console and the games it has developed specifically for that console. It is using the revenue from this success to invest in new products, such as the Switch 2, and new games. However, new reports have revealed that this money is not being spent solely on new products. A new report has revealed that Nintendo has one of the highest employee retention rates in all of Japan. Here are the details…

Nintendo Reportedly Has Incredibly High Employee Retention Rate Listen with Speechify

A new report has revealed that Nintendo has one of the highest employee retention rates in all of Japan. The report found that Nintendo’s employee retention rate is 98.8%, which is significantly higher than the national average of 70%. There are a number of factors that contribute to Nintendo’s high employee retention rate. One factor is the company’s strong brand reputation.

Nintendo is known for creating high-quality video games that are enjoyed by people of all ages. This gives employees a sense of pride in working for the company, and makes them more likely to stay on board. Another factor is Nintendo’s employee welfare program. The company offers a variety of benefits to its employees, including generous paid leave, childcare support, and health insurance.

This helps to create a positive work environment where employees feel valued and appreciated. Finally, Nintendo is known for its strong corporate culture. The company has a flat hierarchy and a culture of innovation. This allows employees to feel like they have a voice and that their ideas are valued.

Nintendo’s high employee retention rate is a competitive advantage for the company. It helps to attract and retain top talent, and it contributes to the company’s success. Our only wish is that all companies in the world display similar policies.

Huawei Mobile has teased the launch of an upcoming wearable device on the X platform (formerly Twitter). The event “Wearable Strategy and New Product Launch” is scheduled for September 14, 2023, in Barcelona. The company’s message suggests that the device will be something extraordinary with the slogan Fashion Forward, creating anticipation and excitement among tech enthusiasts.

Huawei Watch GT 4 is expected to launch

The teaser for the upcoming Huawei wearable features an image with a watch dial, hinting at a smartwatch. Weibo tipster @Ark, known for tracking Huawei’s releases, believes the new product might be the long-awaited Huawei Watch GT 4 series.

Adding weight to the speculations, in August, various Huawei smartwatch products, including the Huawei Watch GT 4 (PNX-B19, ARA-B19), received Bluetooth SIG certification. This certification often suggests an upcoming public release for these devices.

The upcoming Huawei smartwatches are anticipated to feature Bluetooth 5.2 technology and run on HarmonyOS 4.0 with firmware version 4.0.0.50 (SP1C00M00).

It’s likely that the Huawei Watch GT 4 will be the highlight of the upcoming event. There’s no indication of a smartphone release though. But we can’t rule out anything after Huawei’s sudden Mate 60 series announcement.

New Leak Claims That iPhone 15 Ultra Might Be The Fifth Model This Year

Apple is set to unveil its next-generation iPhones as well as the Apple Watch series next week. The brand’s upcoming Wonderlust event is set for September 12 which is next Tuesday. Plenty of leaks and rumors have revealed details of the iPhone 15 series left, right, and center. Until now, the lineup was widely expected to comprise standard, plus, pro, and pro max variants. However, in a new development, a new leak reveals that there might be an additional model in the iPhone 15 series. 

iPhone 15 series tipped to include a new model

Previously, there were rumors that Apple might ditch the iPhone 15 Pro Max moniker in favor of the iPhone 15 Ultra. In a new development, tipster Majin Bu citing information obtained from his sources reveals that Apple may introduce the iPhone 15 Ultra model. It will be the fifth variant in the lineup. The iPhone 15 Pro Max will pack 6GB RAM and up to 1TB of storage. On the other hand, the Ultra variant will max out at 8GB RAM and 2TB storage. Additionally, it will also feature improved cameras compared to the regular Pro model. 

It seems that the higher RAM, storage, and camera improvement are the reasons why it makes sense for Apple to launch the iPhone 15 Ultra. The tipster also added that the Ultra variant could cost $100 more than the Pro Max model. Additionally, some case makers have separated the iPhone 15 Pro Max from the iPhone 15 Pro Ultra. 

This is not the first time we are learning about the iPhone 15 Ultra. As per past rumors, it is expected to come with a titanium body, action body, dual front-facing cameras, and more. 

It’s less than two weeks for Apple’s Wonderlust event where we will learn official details.
