Samsung to equate RAM with Pixel 9 Pro XL on its upcoming flagship

Details about Samsung‘s upcoming flagship, the Galaxy S25 Ultra, have been gradually emerging. Today, a new piece of information suggests that Samsung might be planning an upgrade in RAM capacity.

Reliable tipster @UniverseIce made a post on X (formerly Twitter) mentioning just “16GB” RAM and no specific phone model. However, given the timing of the leak and Samsung’s history with this source, it strongly suggests this refers to the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

This wouldn’t be Samsung’s first time offering 16GB of RAM; the Galaxy S20 and S21 Ultra also had similar options. However, Samsung scaled back to 12GB with the S22 Ultra and has maintained this as the maximum RAM option for its flagships since then.

If true, the 16GB option for the Galaxy S25 Ultra will likely please multitasking enthusiasts, as more RAM can benefit users who run demanding applications simultaneously. The increase in RAM could also be for improved efficiency in AI-related tasks. Google is also rumored to be increasing the RAM to 16GB in the Pixel 9 Pro XL for similar reasons.

Galaxy S24 Ultra

This memory will be paired with Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip, featuring custom Oryon CPU cores similar to those found in Snapdragon X Elite-powered laptops. There are also rumors of a significantly more powerful GPU, making the phone a strong contender for mobile gaming.

On the camera front, it’s suggested that the Galaxy S25 Ultra will have a 200MP primary sensor, along with a 50MP ultrawide, a 50MP telephoto (with 3x optical zoom), and a 50MP super telephoto (with 5x optical zoom). 

Disappointingly, battery life and charging speeds seem to remain unchanged, with the S25 Ultra reportedly sticking to a 5,000mAh battery and 45W fast charging.

Samsung is likely to unveil the Galaxy S25 lineup in January 2025, pre-loaded with Android 15 and the company’s custom One UI 7 interface. The new software is rumored to offer a redesigned user experience, with details about it slowly leaking over time.

Xiaomi to be the first to bring Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 4s Gen 2 to India

Qualcomm has officially unveiled the Snapdragon 4s Gen 2 chipset today at its Snapdragon For India event. Designed for budget-friendly smartphones, the chip prioritizes affordability over top-tier performance.

The Snapdragon 4s Gen 2 shares the same 4nm manufacturing process and core configuration as its standard sibling, but Qualcomm has dialed back the performance of its high-performance cores to 2GHz. This places it between the Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 and 4 Gen 2 in terms of performance.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 4s Gen 2 launched, Xiaomi to bring the first phone

However, the compromises extend beyond the processing power. The 4s Gen 2 supports slower LPDDR4X RAM instead of the faster LPDDR5X found in the 4 Gen 2. Additionally, display quality takes a hit with a maximum refresh rate support of 90Hz compared to the 4 Gen 2’s 120Hz.

Camera capabilities are also scaled back. The dual ISP can no longer handle 108MP image sensors, forcing manufacturers to opt for more modest 50MP or 64MP options.

The focus on affordability extends to the chip’s 5G capabilities. While it has 5G connectivity, download speeds are capped at 1Gbps compared to the 2.5Gbps of the 4 Gen 2. 

Connectivity options are similarly limited, adhering to the older Wi-Fi 5 (ac) and Bluetooth 5.1 standards – a common theme for the budget-oriented 4-series chips.

However, the Snapdragon 4s Gen 2 isn’t entirely barebones. It retains the Qualcomm Audio and Voice Communication suite, enabling high-fidelity music streaming at 96kHz. Camera features like multi-frame noise reduction and electronic image stabilization (EIS) are also present, along with dual-frequency reception for improved GPS accuracy.

Xiaomi is confirmed to be the first manufacturer to bring the Snapdragon 4s Gen 2 in the Indian market, likely integrating it into their Redmi line. 

The company’s president of the India branch, Muralikrishnan B, shared his excitement about the chip’s potential to democratize 5G access, “We are excited to be working with Qualcomm Technologies to enable access to gigabit-fast connectivity for users. Many people have yet to experience the benefits of 5G, and thanks to Snapdragon 4s Gen 2, Xiaomi can bring 5G connectivity to a broader audience to help reshape the way the world connects and interacts.”

However, the specific Xiaomi smartphone that will debut with the Snapdragon 4s Gen 2 remains unconfirmed.

Is Xiaomi Pad 6 a better buy than the Redmi Pad Pro 5G? Here’s why

Xiaomi recently launched two exciting tablets: the Redmi Pad Pro 5G and the Redmi Pad SE. For those considering the all-new Redmi Pad Pro 5G, there’s another option that might be more appealing: the Xiaomi Pad 6. Though it was launched last year, the Xiaomi Pad 6 remains one of the best tablets you can get for under Rs. 30,000 in India.

Both tablets offer impressive features at competitive prices, but depending on your needs, the Xiaomi Pad 6 could be the superior choice, especially if your budget allows for some flexibility. Here’s a breakdown of why:

Xiaomi Pad 6
Xiaomi Pad 6

1. Better Display

The Xiaomi Pad 6 boasts an 11-inch 2.8K LCD display with a smooth 144Hz refresh rate. This translates to sharper visuals, crisper text, and a more fluid experience when scrolling, gaming, or watching videos. The higher resolution also means better clarity for detailed tasks like photo editing.

In comparison, the Redmi Pad Pro 5G features a larger 12.1-inch 2.5K LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate. While the size might be appealing for some, the lower resolution could result in noticeable pixelation on closer inspection. Additionally, the 120Hz refresh rate is still excellent, but the extra smoothness of the 144Hz display on the Pad 6 might be a dealbreaker for those prioritizing a truly premium viewing experience.

Please Note: When you buy something using the links in our articles, we may earn a small commission at no cost to you.

2. Top-Notch Performance for Demanding Tasks

The Xiaomi Pad 6 is equipped with a powerful Snapdragon 870 processor and Adreno 650 GPU. While not the latest flagship, this chipset delivers impressive performance with faster app loading times, smooth multitasking, and the ability to handle demanding games and creative applications with ease.

On the other hand, the Redmi Pad Pro 5G features the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 SoC, a capable mid-range processor. While it performs well for everyday tasks, it may struggle with intensive applications or heavy multitasking compared to the Snapdragon 870 in the Pad 6. This difference is crucial if you plan to use the tablet for video editing, graphic design, or high-end mobile gaming.

Additionally, the Xiaomi Pad 6 uses LPDDR5 RAM, which is faster than the LPDDR4X RAM in the Redmi Pad Pro 5G. This translates to better multitasking, quicker app loading times, and overall system responsiveness. Paired with UFS 3.1 storage (compared to UFS 2.2 in the Redmi Pad Pro 5G), the Pad 6 ensures blazing-fast data transfer speeds, resulting in a noticeably quicker overall experience.

3. Camera Quality Matters, Even on Tablets

While tablets aren’t primarily photography devices, a decent camera can be handy for capturing documents, video conferencing, or casual snapshots. The Xiaomi Pad 6 sports a 13MP rear camera with PDAF (Phase Detection Autofocus) for faster focusing and sharper results. The 8MP front camera also offers a wider field of view (105°) for better group video calls.

The Redmi Pad Pro 5G features 8MP cameras for both the rear and front, which might not capture as much detail or perform as well in low-light conditions compared to the Pad 6.

4. More Efficient Design

The Xiaomi Pad 6 also boasts a lighter and slimmer design at 490g and 6.51mm compared to the Redmi Pad Pro 5G’s 571g and 7.52mm. While both are portable, the Pad 6’s design might feel more comfortable for extended use, especially during travel or commutes.

It also boasts a newer generation Smart Pen (2nd Gen) with lower latency and improved features compared to the Redmi Pad Pro’s first-generation pen.

5. Price Factor

The most significant factor for many users might be the price difference. The starting price for the Xiaomi Pad 6 (6GB + 128GB) is Rs. 26,999, while the starting price for the Redmi Pad Pro 5G (8GB + 128GB) is Rs. 24,999. While the price gap isn’t massive, it’s crucial to consider your needs.

6. The Bottom Line

If your primary focus is on a large screen for media consumption or a tablet that prioritizes long battery life, the Redmi Pad Pro 5G could be a great choice. However, if you prioritize a sharper and smoother display, top-tier performance, a superior camera, and a more advanced stylus, the Xiaomi Pad 6 might be worth the extra investment.

Ultimately, the choice depends on your individual needs and budget. If you can stretch your budget slightly, the Xiaomi Pad 6 offers a more premium experience. However, the Redmi Pad Pro 5G remains a compelling option with its 5G connectivity, larger display, massive battery, and competitive price tag.

Apple is planning to reuse iPhone 13’s OLED panel for iPhone SE 4

Apple‘s budget-friendly iPhone SE line is rumored to see its next iteration in 2025. Although that’s still a bit far off, there have already been many leaks about the upcoming phone. Now a new report from The Elec suggests that LG Display might join as a second supplier of OLED screens for the upcoming iPhone SE line

BOE is said to be the first supplier for the iPhone SE 4’s display which reportedly won the the bid over Samsung due to its lower panel costs. Apple has previously worked with BOE on other iPhone models, so this partnership isn’t new. 

However, BOE’s share for the SE 4 is expected to be the largest it has had for any iPhone. The Elec reports it will provide 60 to 70% of the screens — about 20 million units per year.

Alleged iPhone SE 4 render

The rest of the OLED panels for the iPhone SE 4 are expected to come from a second supplier, rumored to be LG Display. According to The Elec, Apple is planning to use the iPhone 13‘s display panel for the SE 4, but by downgrading the display features.

For those unaware, LG Display supplies panels for the iPhone 13s. Reusing this panel should simplify production for the manufacturer and lower costs for Apple.

A report earlier this month revealed that the iPhone SE 4 will feature a 6.06-inch display, while the iPhone 13 has a 6.1-inch screen. So if The Elec’s report is true, LG Display may need to make some adjustments to the panel to fit the SE 4.

Another display manufacturer, Tianma, has reportedly expressed interest in supplying displays for the iPhone SE 4. However, their technology is believed to be less advanced compared to BOE, making it unlikely they will be included in the supply chain at this stage.

DJI Neo, an entirely new compact drone, leaks in video and retailer listing with price

DJI seems to have several drones in the pipeline. Rumors suggest a mid-range Air 3S and a flagship Magic 4 drone are on the way. But DJI might have something entirely different in the works – a pocket-sized drone called the Neo.

The rumors of this pocketable DJI drone started with a post on X (formerly Twitter) by tipster @DroneMood. The post features an image of a US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) registration label for the DJI Neo, model number DN1A0626. The label also reveals the drone’s battery capacity of 1435mAh or 10.5Wh.

Additionally, the post included stills from a video shared by another X user, @OsitaLV, showing the drone in action. The video tweet, which we’ve embedded below, reveals a very compact drone that appears to have a built-in propeller guard.

Moreover, the absence of an FPV headset in the leaked footage hints that the Neo might be designed as a ‘hover’ drone, similar to the HoverAir X1, rather than a cinewhoop model. So it could focus on selfie-style aerial photography and simple flight operations.

Based on the battery specifications, drone expert Weiliang Zhang estimates that the DJI Neo could weigh around 169 grams and suggests it might have a flight time of about 15 minutes with a full-axis gimbal.

Interestingly, although DJI has yet to officially confirm the Neo, @DroneMood seems to have found a premature listing for the drone on Walmart.

The listing suggests that the DJI Neo Fly More Combo, which typically includes extra batteries, a charging hub, and a carrying case, will be priced at $329. This price point is comparable to the HoverAir X1 combo kit, which sells for $399.

Apart from this, details about the DJI Neo are limited at the moment. We’ll keep you updated with any new information as it becomes available.

Google inches closer to Android 15 public release with minor Beta 4.1 update

The Android 15 beta development timeline is nearing its end, but there are still some bugs that Google wants to fix before the OS public release. Following that, the company has rolled out a new Beta 4.1 update today. It’s a rather small build with minimal changelog, leading us to believe that it could be the final pre-release build before Google rolls out the stable version. 

Google announced the Beta 4.1 update on Reddit. It carries build number AP31.240617.010 for most devices and includes the July 2024 security patches. As usual, Pixel phone owners enrolled in the Android Beta Program (Pixel 6 and above) will be eligible for this update.

Android 15 Beta 4.1 update

As we mentioned earlier, it’s a quite small update, so those expecting new features may find it underwhelming. The changelog for Beta 4.1 lists only one fix: resolving call audio crashes.

This minor update to Android 15 Beta 4 includes the following fixes:

Fixed various issues that sometimes caused device audio to crash while making or receiving calls. (Issue #354086106, Issue #354582492, Issue #354788692, Issue #355129314, Issue #355024157)

Google assures users that those already running earlier Android 15 beta builds on their Pixel devices will automatically receive Beta 4.1 within five days. The update is expected to reach all users within 24 hours and has a download size of less than 4MB, according to AndroidPolice.

This minor bug fix update aligns with the nearing end of Google’s development timeline for Android 15. August is the final month for testing before releasing the final builds. And we’re expecting that Google’s next hardware event, scheduled for August 13th, could be the platform for the official public release of Android 15.

If you’re in the beta program and have yet to receive the update, you can manually check for it by going to Settings > System > Software updates > System update > Check for update. Alternatively, for those with unlocked bootloaders, you will need to go through the manual installation, which requires downloading the OTA file or factory images beforehand.
