Apple released iOS 18 a few weeks back, and the update brings a plethora of front-facing additions to the table, including new customization tools for the Home Screen.

Samsung’s dual-chipset launch approach for the Galaxy S25 series where it announces three new flagships sporting the Exynos 2500 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 may not come to fruition, as the company’s 3nm GAA yields are too unstable and low, forcing the SoC’s delay.

Samsung is rumored to launch the Galaxy S25 FE in April next year, with the Exynos 2500 possibly being used in the […]

Oura however, remains determined to maintain its position and take on Samsung's smart ring and now has announced the fourth-generation Oura Ring. Oura announced its Oura Ring 4 […]
One advantage of Samsung’s foundry business was that it was much easier for local companies to place orders for either cutting-edge or mature nodes. Unfortunately, given that the wafer-manufacturing giant has been struggling to get any kind of momentum going while also failing to attract customers due to consistent setbacks faced with its 3nm GAA process thanks to unstable yields, another blow has been dealt to the company. The latest report states that one South Korean firm has now shifted to TSMC as it aims to gravitate towards a more advanced packaging. Furiosa AI has stopped placing orders with Samsung and […]

Samsung is expected to launch its highly anticipated Galaxy S25 series early next year and the devices are rumored to bring some notable changes to the lineup.

Qualcomm has made it easier for developers to bring their applications to the Snapdragon X Elite platform thanks to the Snapdragon Dev Kit, which is available for a price of $899.

Now, one developer who was a bit too curious about the Snapdragon Dev Kit’s internals decided to perform a teardown, and we have come across quite a few surprises. A large space of the Snapdragon Dev Kit […]
