Google will use TSMC to build Tensor chips from Pixel 10 to Pixel 14

By

May 26, 2025

Google’s custom chips are getting a new home. According to a report from Digi Times, Google is working out a long-term deal with TSMC to manufacture its Tensor processors for future Pixel phones.

The agreement will reportedly last anywhere from three to five years. If everything goes as planned, TSMC will be granted the rights to manufacture Tensor chips from the upcoming Pixel 10 to the Pixel 14.

Google Pixel tensor chip manufacture by TSMC

This is a big move. Google has relied on Samsung Foundry since the debut of the original Tensor chip. However, as the Samsung Foundry is facing yield issues with its own Exynos 2500 SoC, Google seems to be taking a step in the right direction.

The Pixel 10’s Tensor G5 will be the first chip to come out of the new TSMC partnership. It will be manufactured on TSMC’s N3E process, a more advanced version of the 3nm node.

Compared to Samsung’s 4nm process used in the Tensor G4, this should bring better performance, lower power draw, and improved thermal efficiency. Basically, all the things Google’s chips have been criticized for.

Tensor G5 will be the first Tensor chip by TSMC

The Tensor G5, internally called “Laguna,” will come with a pretty typical layout: one Cortex-X4 core for performance, five Cortex-A725 cores for mid-level tasks, and two smaller Cortex-A520 cores for efficiency.

The main focus here is still on Google’s own TPU, its custom AI hardware that powers a lot of the on-device machine learning features, like voice typing, photo processing, and more. The goal is to keep more of that work local to the device instead of relying on the cloud.

Google is also using TSMC’s InFO-POP packaging for the chip, which should help make it thinner and better at handling heat. And it’s not just the foundry that’s changing. The Tensor G5 is dropping a number of Samsung-made components, too.

The image signal processor is now designed by Google itself. The display controller comes from VeriSilicon, the video codec from Chips&Media, and the modem is being sourced from MediaTek. It’s a pretty clear signal that Google wants more control over its hardware stack, while slowly distancing itself from Samsung’s ecosystem.

iQOO Neo 10 vs iQOO Neo 10R: How are they different?

By

-

May 26, 2025

With the launch of the iQOO Neo 10, the company has expanded the Neo 10 lineup in the Indian market. Back in March 2025, the iQOO Neo 10R made its debut in India. So with both models being budget flagships, here’s everything different about these two devices.

iQOO Neo 10 vs iQOO Neo 10R: Design and Display

In terms of design, you can immediately tell that both devices are a part of the same family. They appear quite similar, with a distinct rounded square camera module at the back. But while the Neo 10 comes in Inferno Red and Titanium Chrome, the Neo 10R is available in MoonKnight Titanium and Raging Blue options.

On the front, the similarities appear once again as both models sport a tall 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate. The iQOO Neo 10 has a few advantages, including a 4320Hz PWM dimming and higher peak brightness of 5500 nits. Interestingly, the iQOO Neo 10R brings a faster 480Hz touch sampling rate over the Neo 10’s 360Hz touch sampling rate.

Performance

In terms of performance, the iQOO Neo 10 easily takes the lead thanks to Qualcomm’s newer and more powerful Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 SoC. The Neo 10R, on the other hand, packs the older Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC. The former also tops out at 16GB + 512GB, while the latter’s highest variant offers 12GB + 256GB only. Since the iQOO Neo 10 is a next gen processor, you get better performance and power efficiency overall. The Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 also brings a big update on graphical performance, making it a great chip for mobile gaming.

Battery & Charging

Even in terms of battery capacity and charging speeds, the Neo 10 has the advantage with a humongous 7,000mAh battery pack that supports 120W wired fast charging. The iQOO Neo 10R houses a smaller but still notable 6,400mAh cell, with support for slower 80W wired fast charging.

Pricing and Availability

As of right now, the iQOO Neo 10R sells in India for around 27,000 INR for the base 8GB + 128GB model. This makes it a great choice to consider for those looking for a gaming phone at a strict budget of under 30,000 INR. However, the new iQOO Neo 10 isn’t a lot more expensive as it starting from 31,999 INR for the 8GB + 128GB model. For a slightly higher price tag, you get a larger battery, faster charging, and a more advanced chipset that can handle gaming better.

Oppo Find X9 Ultra leaks with 200MP main and telephoto sensor

By

May 26, 2025

It has just been a month since the Oppo Find X8 Ultra came out, but its successor is already making headlines in the rumor mill. The latest headline is about the camera specs of the Find X9 Ultra, coming straight out of China.

The leak comes from Digital Chat Station, a tipster who is known for providing early information on upcoming phones. According to their most recent post, the Find X9 Ultra is currently in the prototype stage with some notable camera upgrades over its predecessor.

A 200MP telephoto?

The phone is said to include a 200-megapixel main camera with a large sensor, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera, another 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera (also with macro capabilities), and a second 50-megapixel “super periscope” sensor that’s rumored to support 10x optical zoom.

The leak also includes a reference to the model number SM8850, which lines up with Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chip. That tracks with earlier reports suggesting that while the standard Find X9, X9+, and X9 Pro will use MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500 and might show up in October, the Ultra model will come later (possibly in early 2026) and feature Qualcomm’s next-gen flagship chip.

Aside from the camera, the X9 Ultra is expected to have a 6.82-inch flat OLED display with a 2K+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. It’s also rumored to run ColorOS 16, based on Android 15. That software is expected to be officially announced sometime in Q3 this year.

No word yet on battery size or charging specs, but given Oppo’s recent releases, it probably won’t be anything too out of line. More details are likely to show up in the coming months.

This Galaxy S23 Ultra Survived Arctic Conditions: 5 Hours in a Freezing River

By

-

May 26, 2025

Your phone falling into the water is probably one of the biggest fears people used to have. But improved durability and protection have allowed smartphones to survive these momentary plunges in recent years. However, this one Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra managed to handle a lot more than a simple submersion after it faced arctic conditions.

Is the Galaxy S23 Ultra Arctic Proof?

The South Korean tech giant shared an interesting incident via the Samsung Newsroom. The story is from a Swedish professional wilderness guide, Mikael Krekula, who was testing out sonar equipment on the frozen Kalix River. But during these tests, his Galaxy S23 Ultra slipped from his gloved hands and fell into an ice fishing hole. The 2023 Samsung flagship was submerged in freezing ice-cold water and settled around three meters below the surface.

Mikael stated that “At that moment, I felt like I had donated my entire digital life to the river — photos, ID, credit cards and all my apps gone in an instant. It wasn’t just a phone to me. It was my work companion, essential in everything I do.” But thankfully, the Galaxy S23 Ultra managed to make a complete recovery despite facing such harsh conditions. A simple dip is understandable, but the device survived for around five hours.

He quickly launched a recovery mission and drilled eight surrounding ice holes to be able to reach his smartphone, and used a series of jerry-rigged tools (branches, shovel, and plastic bag). After getting a five hour ice bath, the Galaxy S23 Ultra managed to power on like nothing ever happened. To recall, the flagship phone features an IP68 rating that offers up to 1.5 meters of freshwater resistance for 30 minutes and dust proofing as well.

Here’s how to fix the Galaxy A56’s boot issue

By

Debasish

-

May 26, 2025

Samsung’s Galaxy A56 has hit a snag thanks to the May update, leaving some devices stuck on the boot screen. Thankfully, a user-discovered workaround offers a quick fix, sparing users from drastic measures.

The May 2025 update for the Galaxy A56 introduces Gemini Side button support, fixes known security issues, and is supposed to offer a smoother One UI experience overall. However, for some users, this update has caused a major hiccup: devices freezing on the “gears” loading screen, unable to boot fully. The issue, reported widely on forums like Reddit and Samsung Community, has sparked frustration among the affected A56 users, with their devices stuck in an endless initializing loop.

Here’s the fix:

However, the solution is quite simple: remove the SIM card, then restart the phone by holding the Volume Down and Power buttons until it reboots. Once the home screen appears, reinsert the SIM card. This method, confirmed by multiple users on Reddit and Samsung forums, has proven effective.

Though not an official solution, this workaround avoids the need for a factory reset, which would erase all data. Samsung has yet to acknowledge the issue formally, but a follow-up patch is likely in the works. For now, the SIM-removal trick is the go-to solution. If your A56 is stuck, try it and share your experience on social platforms.

Not every Galaxy A56 is affected, as many users report successful updates. Still, the boot issue is prevalent enough to raise concerns about the beta testing process and the overall stability of the package and upcoming builds. While this particular issue has an easy fix, not all update-related problems are as simple. That’s why it’s best to wait a week or two and check online if everything is stable before tapping ‘Download’ or ‘Restart now’.

May 26, 2025

The Vivo T4 and T4x phones have already launched in India and the brand is said to be working on two more T-series models, such as the T4 Ultra and T4 Lite. A new report claims that Vivo is preparing to introduce the Vivo T4 Ultra in India as early as June, aiming to set a new benchmark in the lineup. The new phone is said to bring significant performance upgrades and advanced features.

Vivo T4 Ultra key details revealed

Vivo-T3-Ultra-Design-Display — Vivo T3 Ultra

According to XpertPick, the Vivo T4 Ultra will come equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 9300 Plus chipset, which is capable of surpassing 2 million points on AnTuTu—marking a significant jump from its previous generation, which featured the Dimensity 9200+ chip.

To recall, last year’s Vivo T3 Ultra was based on the China-exclusive Vivo S19 Pro. While both shared similar specifications, the T3 Ultra did not include a telephoto camera, which was available on the S19 Pro. In line with this trend, it’s speculated that the upcoming Vivo T4 Ultra might be based on the Vivo S20 Pro, which was launched in December 2024 in China.

The Dimensity 9300+ powered S20 Pro features a 6.67-inch OLED display with 1.5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, a 5,500mAh battery with 90W fast charging, and a triple rear camera setup consisting of a 50-megapixel main OIS sensor, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide, and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera offering 3x optical zoom. Additionally, it sports a 50-megapixel front camera.

Poco’s upcoming F7 smartphone has appeared on multiple certification platforms in Asia, signaling its global launch is not too far off. After bagging the FCC certification earlier this month, the device has secured approvals in Thailand and Indonesia, confirming its readiness for market entry. Here’s everything that has surfaced about the Poco F7’s progress so far.

Poco F7 bags NBTC and SDPPI certifications

The Poco F7 has been listed on Thailand’s NBTC database under the model number 25053PC47G, confirming support for 5G connectivity. Simultaneously, it has been approved by the SDPPI certification authority in Indonesia. These regulatory green lights clear the path for the phone’s launch in both Southeast Asian markets.

Earlier this year, the Poco F7 Pro and Poco F7 Ultra, were introduced, and now this standard model is poised to join the lineup. Additional certifications have come from India’s BIS, Singapore’s IMDA, and Europe’s EEC, suggesting a broad global release is on the horizon. Rumors also suggest that the F7 is essentially a rebranded version of the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro, which debuted in China last month.

Poco F7 specifications (rumored)

According to reports, the Poco F7 will feature a 6.83-inch OLED LTPS display offering 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Powering the device could be the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset. Interestingly, battery capacities may vary by region — with the global variant expected to feature a 6,550mAh battery, while the Indian version may get a larger 7,550mAh unit. Both are likely to offer 90W charging speeds.

For imaging, the Poco F7 could feature a 20-megapixel front camera and a dual rear camera setup comprising a 50-megapixel main sensor and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide sensor. Other expected features include an IR blaster, dual speakers, an IP68/69-rated build, and HyperOS 2.0 based on Android 15. It is speculated that the device will go official in June.

A Super Affordable Entry-Level Phone: MEIZU Mblu 22 Pro Review

May 26, 2025

In this article, we will review a Super Affordable Entry-Level Phone – MEIZU Mblu 22 Pro. Within limited discount offers, this phone can even be available for less than $80 – arguably the most budget-friendly device we’ve ever tested. These devices primarily target users with needs of essential daily functions, such as individuals who prefer straightforward technology or simply require a reliable backup.

Let’s approach the Mblu 22 Pro with appropriate expectations. By the end of this review, you’ll gain clear insight into the current evolution of entry-level smartphones.

Unboxing

Let’s examine the package contents: basic manuals, 18W charger, USB-C cable, transparent phone case, SIM eject tool, and a pre-applied screen protector. While our phone didn’t have the screen protector pre-applied, the official website specifies retail units include factory-installed protection – yours likely won’t require manual application.

Design

The Mblu 22 Pro’s design follows mainstream conventions. The circular camera module positioned centrally contains three lenses (details forthcoming). Available in three colors, the white and blue variants feature subtle concentric patterns on the back. From a distance, it could easily be mistaken for a premium device. With IP52 dust/water resistance certification, an all-plastic body, and specialized impact-resistant construction, reliability shouldn’t be a concern.

The top edge houses an increasingly rare 3.5mm headphone jack and speaker grille. While audio quality won’t impress audiophiles, the loud volume output proves ideal for elderly users.

The bottom contains the USB-C port and hybrid SIM tray (supports dual SIMs or SIM+microSD card). NFC and side-mounted fingerprint recognition are both present – functionally, the Mblu 22 Pro leaves little room for complaint.

By the way, the operating system on this phone is Flyme Lite. Compared to FlymeOS, the Lite version is closer to stock Android. So don’t expect too much from its system.

Display

The 6.79″ 720P LCD display won’t satisfy those accustomed to flagship-grade screens. But at $80, let’s maintain perspective. The inclusion of a 120Hz refresh rate deserves mention. As long as the screen functions properly (which it does), this specification remains acceptable for its price tier.

Performance & Battery

It is powered by MediaTek’s Helio G81 chipset (AnTuTu score ≈230,000), and it handles web browsing and TikTok smoothly. Video playback works adequately for SDR content.

The 5000mAh battery with 18W charging easily lasts a full day, given its non-gaming usage scenario. Considering the price point, MEIZU has maximized component value.

Camera

The Mblu 22 Pro features a 50MP main camera and a 2MP macro lens. Sample images below demonstrate its capabilities – at this price, capturing recognizable subject matter constitutes success.

Regarding the third camera: No functional information exists in the system interface or official documentation. Consider this module decorative until further notice.

Conclusion

Most tech enthusiasts won’t much covet this device, but the Mblu 22 Pro serves vital needs: calling, basic web browsing, and video playback with reliable software, most importantly, at a super affordable price tag. Its existence proves crucial for wide users who are concerned about budget and value for money. By delivering essential smartphone functions under $80, MEIZU is truly practicing universal access to mobile technology.

May 26, 2025

Google‘s highly anticipated Pixel 10 series has just surfaced in another report. This time, we get more information regarding the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL’s design, revealing new color options. So here’s everything that was leaked.

Google Pixel 10 Gets a new Limoncello

The latest info arrives from Mystic Leaks (Via AndroidAuthority) on Telegram. Reportedly, the Search Engine giant plans on releasing the Pixel 10 in four bright color options, which would include Obsidian (Black), Blue, Iris (Purple), and Limoncello (Yellow). The new yellow option is the new variant, which is inspired by the Italian lemon liqueur. For the higher end options, the Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL might come in Obsidian (Black), Sterling (Gray), Porcelain (White), and Green.

So unlike the base model, the more expensive variants come with more sober/standard colors. Keep in mind that this is still just an unconfirmed report, so take this news with a pinch of salt. Since the official launch is still a while away, Google could even make changes to the final marketing names for these colors. Just yesterday, the Google Pixel 10 Pro was spotted in the wild during a commercial shoot.

This is all the information we have at the moment, so stick around for more. In related news, the Google Pixel 10 lineup could get a display upgrade with PWM dimming and flicker reduction to make it easier on your eyes. Meanwhile, the Pixel 9 series is getting an attractive discount for Memorial Day. An older Pixel 8 model even managed to survive 4 days in a tub of hot water, so click here to read about that.

One UI update caught on camera cooking a green line on S21 FE

A chilling video shared on Reddit captures a Samsung Galaxy S21 FE developing a green line on its AMOLED display mid-update, reigniting concerns about software-induced OLED defects. The incident, tied to One UI 6.1, highlights a costly issue plaguing Samsung users.

The Green Line issue, a persistent problem for AMOLED-equipped smartphones, has struck again, this time caught on camera. A Reddit user posted a video showing their Galaxy S21 FE developing a vertical green line during a One UI 6.1 update installation, released in April 2024. The user had avoided the update for a year, wary of widespread reports linking it to OLED defects across Samsung models like the S21 and S22 series.

The video reveals the update progressing smoothly until 60%, when a thin green line appeared, thickening as the installation continued. The user, who recorded the incident live, later shared images of the prominent line, a defect often rendering displays unusable. Seeking help, they approached Samsung Support, but the service center declined a free replacement, quoting ₹17,000 (~$200) for repairs—almost half the phone’s current price tag.

Samsung’s one-year warranty typically excludes such issues on older devices, leaving users with hefty repair bills. While Samsung has offered free screen replacements in some cases with proper escalation, many affected users face frustration. We hope smartphone makers take this issue seriously, and in the meantime, users are advised to wait at least a few weeks before installing the update.

Until the issue is addressed, users are advised to wait a few weeks and ensure everything is okay with the update package before installing it.
