MagicOS 9.0: HONOR’s Next-Gen OS Boosts AI, Security, and Performance

-

Oct 23, 2024

Earlier today, news broke that Samsung will use only Snapdragon 8 Elite in all of its Galaxy S25 models. It seems this decision will continue for another year, as reports suggest the Galaxy S26 series will also rely on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chips.

Galaxy S26 Might Stick to Snapdragon SoC

According to the tipster Ice Universe, who shared this information on Weibo, Samsung is thinking about exclusively using Snapdragon processors for the Galaxy S26 lineup. This is good news for people who prefer Snapdragon chips because they usually offer strong performance and good power efficiency.

However, Samsung has not given up on its own Exynos processors. Ice Universe also mentioned that Samsung is working on a new Exynos chip, which has the codename ‘Ulysses.’ This chip is planned for use in the Galaxy S27, which is expected to launch in 2027. The new Exynos processor will reportedly be made using Samsung’s second-generation 2nm technology (SF2P), which will be ready by the end of 2026.

Originally, the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+ were supposed to have the 3nm Exynos 2500 chipset, also made by Samsung. In fact, Samsung even mentioned the Exynos 2500 during its earnings call. However, the company faced issues with production, meaning they couldn’t make enough chips. Because of this, Samsung decided to switch all the Galaxy S25 models to the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip instead.

For now, Samsung is focusing on Snapdragon chips, but the company has plans to revive the Exynos brand with its “Project Ulysses.” Samsung hopes that, with this new chip, they can avoid the production problems they faced in the past and rebuild trust in Exynos processors.

Overall, Samsung is working hard to improve its in-house chips while continuing to use the reliable Snapdragon technology in the meantime. We will have to wait and see how things develop, especially with the release of the Galaxy S27 in the coming years.

Oct 23, 2024

Huawei teased the HarmonyOS Next as a massive update earlier this year. The company recently released the public beta for some of its smartphones earlier this week, with its official release following soon after. This is a major platform update, marking the departure from the Android operating system. So here’s a list of supported devices and an update timeline.

1. HarmonyOS Next: List of Supported Devices

When the Chinese tech giant first rolled out the public beta update, the first smartphones to get the HarmonyOS Next to update were the Huawei Mate 60 series, Mate X5 series, and the MatePad Pro 13.2-inch series. During the HarmonyOS Next announcement, the company announced that it is bringing the update to 8 new devices. Here’s a list of those models:

Other models expected to get the update includes

As of right now, users that own any of these devices can apply for the beta upgrade through the “My Huawei” application, which is under the “Early Access” category. It is worth noting that Huawei will expand the supported device list in the coming weeks and months to include more devices. The Huawei Nova 13 and Nova 13 Pro just launched with HarmonyOS 4.2, so we can expect it to be one of the first to receive HarmonyOS Next update after this list.

2. When does the HarmonyOS Next Update arrive?

Huawei has only released the public beta of the HarmonyOS Next update. It had originally revealed the major software update back in January, but the launch date of its final build is still unclear. The Pura 70 series, Pocket 2 series, and MatePad Pro 11-inch are already getting the beta update, while other devices like the Mate XT Ultimate Design, Nova Flip, and MatePad Air will receive updates by early 2025.

3. HarmonyOS Next: What makes it special?

Huawei is marketing the HarmonyOS Next as the “Pure HarmonyOS”. This makes more sense since HarmonyOS is finally moving away from Android. It is being built independently, with an emphasis on native features and security. So the changes are more than skin deep as HarmonyOS Next now uses the self developed operating system that relies solely on the HarmonyOS kernel.

The next gen software is getting improved visuals and fluidity, using immersive lighting, gravity based animation, and central axis symmetry. Its UI will include dynamic wallpapers and seamless theme integration like its Android 15 counterpart. Privacy has also been a big focus, promising stricter permission management to prevent unauthorized access. There are also performance improvements and AI integration. The platform supports more than 15,000 native Harmony apps along with meta services across 18 industries.

Oct 23, 2024

Motorola is no stranger to delivering high-quality smartphones, consistently offering devices with excellent displays and robust hardware. Yet, when it comes to the gaming smartphone market, Motorola has yet to make a mark.

Given the rising popularity of mobile gaming, a gaming-centric Motorola phone could be a game-changer, provided it focuses on some key areas. In this article, we will delve into what could make a gaming Motorola phone truly impressive.

1. Excellent Display

Motorola has built a reputation for delivering sharp and vibrant displays across its smartphone lineup, particularly with its Edge series models. These screens consistently offer a solid mix of color accuracy, brightness, and refresh rates.

For a gaming-focused phone, a high refresh rate is essential, ideally hitting 165Hz, similar to the ROG Phone 8‘s LTPO AMOLED panel. While Motorola already offers 144Hz displays in many of its models, bumping it up to 165Hz would be a natural progression.

However, a higher refresh rate alone doesn’t guarantee better gaming performance, as it also depends on game compatibility. Fortunately, most popular games now support 120Hz, with some even reaching 144Hz. Incorporating a higher refresh rate would not only enhance the current gaming experience but also make the device more future-proof.

Additionally, HDR support, high touch sampling rate, DCI-P3 color gamut coverage, and high peak brightness are crucial for enhancing the visual experience, ensuring clear details and smooth transitions during fast-paced gameplay. Motorola should also opt for a flat display rather than a curved one to meet gamers’ preferences.

2. Superior Hardware

Motorola has always delivered strong hardware, offering smartphones with powerful processors and generous RAM. However, to make a mark in the gaming phone market, it needs to step up by incorporating the top-of-the-line Snapdragon 8 Elite processor or the best available option during development.

This would guarantee top-notch performance for popular titles like BGMI, Call of Duty Mobile, and Genshin Impact. Pairing a minimum of 16GB LPDDR5X RAM with UFS 4.0 storage would ensure the speed and capacity needed for seamless gaming and faster load times.

3. Advanced Cooling Technology

To excel in the gaming phone market, Motorola must ensure sustained peak performance during long gaming sessions by addressing heat management effectively. High-performance gaming generates significant heat, which can lead to thermal throttling. To combat this, Motorola should adopt advanced cooling solutions, such as vapor chambers, multi-layer graphite sheets, or even liquid cooling.

Implementing a large vapor chamber, similar to the 10,182mm² unit in the Redmagic 9S Pro, would significantly enhance thermal management. Additionally, using cooling elements like frost-cooling gel, nano-thermal materials, and a high-speed internal turbofan could further improve heat dissipation.

Integrating AI-powered thermal management would be a smart move, as it could optimize performance by adapting to temperature fluctuations. These enhancements would not only maintain consistent gaming quality but also position Motorola as a strong contender in the gaming phone market.

4. Software Optimization

While Motorola’s hardware is strong, its software optimization needs improvement, especially for a dedicated gaming phone. To ensure a seamless gaming experience, Motorola could introduce a custom Game Mode, similar to Redmagic’s Game Space or Asus’s X Mode, with features like AI-powered performance boosters, network optimization tools, and customizable triggers for in-game actions to create a more competitive environment.

In addition to these enhancements, Motorola should focus on refining its overall software by improving transitions, speeding up app loading, and optimizing RAM management. Incorporating features like enhanced sound recognition, AI-driven trigger customization, and automatic screen recording would further elevate the immersive gaming experience, making Motorola’s gaming phone more appealing.

5. Battery Life and Fast Charging

Gaming demands a lot of power, making a large-capacity battery crucial for any gaming phone. To be competitive, Motorola should aim for at least a 5500mAh battery with optimized software to provide better endurance. While the company’s existing fast-charging solutions are already impressive, delivering fast charging that can refill a large battery in less than 45 minutes would be a huge plus.

6. Other Features

Motorola can further enhance its gaming phone by focusing on a few additional features. While gaming phones often don’t prioritize cameras, adding a decent camera setup with advanced AI imaging could make the device more versatile for users who want both gaming and photography capabilities.

In terms of design and build, a bold and gamer-friendly aesthetic is crucial, featuring elements like RGB lighting, shoulder triggers, and a rugged build that withstands intense gaming sessions.

For the audio experience, Motorola should include dual front-facing speakers with support for DTS Ultra or Dolby Atmos to deliver immersive sound quality. Additionally, including a 3.5mm headphone jack would cater to gamers who prefer wired audio for lower latency.

Lastly, an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance would boost the device’s durability, making it more competitive among other high-end gaming phones.

7. Conclusion

A gaming phone from Motorola could easily become a reality if the company leverages its existing strengths while addressing areas like software optimization, cooling technology, and RAM/storage combinations. With a focus on creating an immersive gaming experience and optimizing performance, Motorola could make waves in the gaming smartphone market.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Tipped with Snapdragon 8 Elite: Exynos 2500 Reportedly Scrapped

Oct 23, 2024

Samsung’s Galaxy S25 series has been making the rounds in rumors and leaks online with reports about its chipsets having conflicting details. Now, a fresh leak from a known tipster has revealed new key information about the upcoming flagship smartphones. These devices may pack Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Elite, skipping the brand’s proprietary Exynos 2500.

Exynos 2500 seemingly cancelled, Snapdragon 8 Elite powered Galaxy S25

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra running One UI 7 — Galaxy S25 Ultra running One UI 7

Earlier this week, the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+ were rumored to launch with the Exynos 2500. However, Samsung’s Mobile President TM Roh hinted at the series arriving with the Snapdragon 8 Elite. According to tipster @chunvn8888 on X, the South Korean tech giant is skipping the Exynos on its new flagship phones. The Exynos 2500 has reportedly been canned and the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+ will launch with the Snapdragon 8 Elite.

He initially stated that the Snapdragon 8 Elite will power the Galaxy S25 series besides the S25 Ultra, but later clarified that all three models feature Qualcomm’s latest flagship chipset. Chun Bhai further added that Samsung’s plans to launch the Galaxy Z Flip 7 with the Exynos 2500 have also been cancelled. The chip for the Galaxy S25 FE was also revealed in this tweet. It will apparently be equipped with the Exynos 2400. To recall, the Galaxy S24 FE launched with the Exynos 2400e, which is an underclocked version of the Exynos 2400 that powers the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+.

In other words, its successor might only get a minor upgrade next year. Keep in mind that this is still just an unconfirmed report at the moment, so take this report with a pinch of salt for now. In related news, the entire Galaxy S25 lineup had its dimensions leaked with a slimmer body compared to its predecessors. The Ultra variant was also spotted in 4 color options. More details regarding the S25 series should surface soon, so stick around for more updates.

Snapdragon 8 Elite Sets New Standard: Supports 8 Years of Android OS Updates

By

Oct 23, 2024

Qualcomm finally unveiled the Snapdragon 8 Elite after weeks of rumors and leaks. After the announcement, smartphone brands began teasing the launch of their upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite powered smartphones. It isn’t just one of the fastest chips for Android, but also supports long OS updates as well.

Snapdragon 8 Elite: Android Software Support Getting Longer?

The chipmaker unveiled the Snapdragon 8 Elite with impressive upgrades in CPU, GPU, and AI performance. But that’s not all, Christopher Patrick, Qualcomm’s SVP and GM, announced that the Snapdragon 8 Elite supports 8 years of Android OS updates. The brand is building new ways for manufacturers to extend software support. So Qualcomm and smartphone makers can work together to offer longer software support to end users.

So for those who shell out good money on premium phones and don’t plan on upgrading anytime soon, these next gen flagship devices might be the perfect fit. There are plenty of people who don’t upgrade every year just for new software features. So the new Snapdragon platform is great since most key features are now either software only or AI based. Keep in mind that Qualcomm isn’t the one promising 8 years of Android OS updates. It is just building an infrastructure and hardware support to aid brands that offer longer software support.

As of right now, most devices arrive with about 2 major Android OS updates although more devices are now getting 3 years of support. Samsung and Google take things even further with 7 years of software support. Unlike Google, Samsung’s flagship lineup will feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite, so there’s a chance that the Galaxy S25 series may debut with 8 years of Android OS updates. This would mean it has the longest software support out of any smartphone, surpassing even Apple which offers 6 to 6 years of software support.

Samsung’s tri-fold could launch as soon as next year

Samsung is gearing up to expand its foldable lineup with a new tri-fold smartphone, potentially launching in 2025. The device, featuring a screen that folds twice, has already seen its components developed, indicating readiness for commercialization. However, the final decision rests with Samsung’s Mobile eXperience division led by TM Roh.

Samsung’s tri-fold could be the first tri-fold for global market

Currently, Huawei’s Mate XT is the only tri-fold on the market, currently limited to China. If Samsung releases this model globally, it could be the first tri-fold available worldwide. The new form factor would transform from a tablet-sized display to a compact phone, providing versatile usage for various scenarios.

There’s no word yet on specifications, but industry patents suggest innovative hinge mechanisms and sensor integration, hinting at a device designed for flexible use cases.

What to expect?

Based on Samsung’s track record of foldable phones, the premium tri-fold will likely use the latest Qualcomm flagship, the Snapdragon 8 Elite.

For those curious about the multitasking capabilities, key advancements in the Snapdragon 8 Elite include a 40% boost in GPU performance and a 35% enhancement in ray tracing capabilities as compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 of the existing Galaxy Z Fold 6. These improvements, coupled with a 44% increase in power efficiency, make the chipset ideal for demanding tasks like gaming and multitasking, ensuring a reasonable performance upgrade for the upcoming Samsung tri-fold.

The chipset features an upgraded NPU (45% improvement in AI capabilities), ensuring more complex Galaxy AI features for the tri-fold phone.

However, the tri-fold will also likely need to be slimmer than the existing Galaxy Z Fold 6, so no larger camera sensors are expected inside as well. Readers should expect a camera setup similar to the company’s existing book-style foldable. For reference, the Galaxy Z Fold 6’s camera setup is noted below:

50 MP, f/1.8, 23mm (wide), 1.0µm, dual pixel PDAF, OIS
10 MP, f/2.4, 66mm (telephoto), 1.0µm, PDAF, OIS, 3x optical zoom
12 MP, f/2.2, 123˚, 12mm (ultrawide), 1.12µm
