Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

The Dimensity 9400 will not deter Qualcomm from ensuring that the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 becomes a success, as one analyst predicts that the chipset will not just be the company’s most expensive release to date, but it will also generate the most profit. Shipments of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 are estimated to be 50 percent higher compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, meaning that the San Diego firm is expected to enjoy a revenue boost, leading to a healthy profit generation. Analyst believes the high price of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, increased demand from Samsung, and […]
Qualcomm could be on a mission to release the most powerful smartphone chipset in the world in the coming days. After all, with releases such as the A18 Pro and the Dimensity 9400 already announced, it will be an uphill battle for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 to overtake its competitors. However, according to the latest benchmarking scores, the SoC obtains the highest multi-threaded results ever when running in the upcoming Vivo iQOO 13. New multi-core scores are higher than what the OnePlus 13 obtained, all the while the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 operated at the same clock speeds The last […]
A couple of days remain before the Dimensity 9400 is officially announced, making it the first time that MediaTek will unveil a 3nm chipset. There are whispers doing the rounds earlier, claiming that the SoC’s unit price had increased by 20 percent, which would likely force phone manufacturers to adjust what they typically charge for their flagships. Fortunately, we might be in for a pleasant surprise because the first lineup’s starting price for the base model is revealed to be just $570, making it highly competitive. Then again, this is the lowest bracket, and when you attempt to get a […]
A detailed specifications sheet of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 leaked a few weeks earlier, revealing the various upgrades that would arrive with the chipset when it officially launches. While Qualcomm gears up to announce its flagship SoC, we get a closer look at yet another leak, but this time, there is a components layout of the silicon, along with a multitude of supported technologies. It is highly possible that we do not have to wait for the official unveiling to happen, as we have hit the motherload with the latest revelation. More details reveal that 5G mmWave and sub-6GHz bands […]
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. Externally, we can expect rounded edges from the back, and possibly a slightly bigger display but internally, the devices will get a major power boost thanks to the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip. A tipster claims that the Galaxy S25 Ultra will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip but the smaller S25 base variant is expected to port over to a Dimensity 9400 chip. Samsung's Base Galaxy S25 to […]
The recent price estimate from a tipster suggested that the upcoming Dimensity 9400 would cost $155 per unit, undercutting the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 while also being cheaper than Qualcomm’s current-generation Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which is rumored to be priced at $200. The latest update for these figures is that MediaTek’s upcoming 3nm SoC will be 20 percent cheaper than its imminent rival, but that means it will be almost as expensive as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. The new report does not explicitly mention the Dimensity 9400’s price, but previous rumors have suggested that the Snapdragon 8 Gen […]
The Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 was introduced for the first time several months after Qualcomm launched the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. The new SoC was marketed as a slower version of the company’s flagship SoC, giving phone makers the opportunity to charge less for their devices without making tradeoffs regarding high-end features. This approach is said to be followed once again with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, with one individual stating that the announcement will happen in the first quarter of 2025. Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 launch makes much more sense, as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will be quite an […]
Qualcomm was believed to stick with a chronological naming scheme for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, making it a better representation of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 successor. However, thanks to a Xiaomi 15 launch teaser, we have learned what could be the official name of the upcoming SoC, and just to give you a hint, it is similar to the Snapdragon X Elite found in various Windows-powered notebooks. Snapdragon 8 Elite to be the official name of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, with Qualcomm possibly dropping the chronological name schemes from hereon Prior to the Snapdragon X Elite’s unveiling, rumors […]
Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Ultra was recently tested with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, obtaining a multi-core result that surpasses what the A18 Pro obtained when running iOS 18. However, the upcoming flagship has been re-tested with the same chipset, and this time, the clock speeds of the performance cores have been raised slightly, allowing for a higher multi-threaded score than last time. Unfortunately, the Galaxy S25 Ultra posts a lower single-core score, but it is within margin of error Previously, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 running in the Galaxy S25 Ultra had its two performance cores running at 4.20GHz, with the […]
Qualcomm is likely to stick and improve its Oryon cores when it announces the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 next year, with an upgraded manufacturing process allowing the chipset to operate at higher clock speeds without abnormally sipping power. One rumor is now doing the rounds, claiming to have found out the SoC’s clock speeds while also mentioning that the CPU cluster will remain unchanged from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4’s configuration. Efficiency cores of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 also tipped to be running at 4.00GHz So far, the fastest Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 that we have seen in action […]
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 has started to be tested in more devices, and according to the latest benchmark leak, the SoC has found its way into Samsung’s upcoming top-end model, the Galaxy S25 Ultra. In the latest results, we not only found out some specifications of the flagship but also discovered that the chipset beats Apple’s A18 Pro in the multi-core result. Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 considerably improves in single-core results but is still slower than the A18 Pro when running in the Galaxy S25 Ultra Qualcomm is expected to unveil the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 in October, which […]
The OnePlus 13 will reportedly be unveiled next month, which only means that the upcoming flagship will be taken through its paces and tested using various benchmark apps to gauge its performance. Well, the first indication of the handset’s single-core and multi-core prowess has been posted on Geekbench 6, with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 cementing its position as the fastest smartphone chipset on the planet. The A18 that was recently announced for the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus is no match for Qualcomm’s latest and greatest, and a comparison with last year’s A17 Pro shows an even bigger […]
