Samsung Galaxy S24 series reportedly not getting selfie camera upgrade

Next year's Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is rumored to replace the 3x telephoto unit seen on the Galaxy S23 Ultra with a 5x telephoto camera. However, the selfie camera on S24 Ultra and the vanilla and Plus models in the lineup won't get any hardware upgrade. Word comes from Dutch publication GalaxyClub, which claims Samsung will continue to use the 12MP selfie camera from the S23 lineup on the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra. However, that doesn't necessarily mean the S24 series won't take better selfies since Samsung could still improve the front-facing camera's performance...

Going by the usual Redmi Note lineup release schedule, the Redmi Note 13 will likely arrive this fall in China, but an interesting rumor about the top-tier model emerged sooner than expected.

vivo X100 global model's specs leak

vivo's X90 family of smartphones made its debut last November, and it's expected that the company will stick to a very similar fourth-quarter launch time frame for the upcoming X100 models. Today details about the X100's specs have been leaked. Keep in mind however that we're talking about the international X100, not the Chinese one. That's important because it looks like the international version, bearing the model number V2308, will feature a MediaTek Dimensity 8 series chipset, while the Chinese variant could go with a Dimensity 9300. Then again, with three members in the family (last...

Apple would pull iMessage and FaceTime from UK if new privacy law gets passed

The United Kingdom has been planning to update its Investigatory Powers Act (IPA) 2016, which would require messaging services to disable their security features upon request by the authorities in an attempt to “protect the public from criminals, child sex abusers and terrorists”. Apple voiced concerns that the new changes might compromise data security and information privacy and threatened to pull iMessage and FaceTime from the UK if the revised act goes through. WhatsApp and Signal also strongly opposed a clause in the Online Safety Bill, which essentially wants services to...

TSMC pushes back the launch of its Arizona plant to 2025

TSMC’s original plans for its semiconductor foundry in Arizona was to start mass producing chips next year. However, the company just announced a delay: “We expect the production schedule of N4 process technology to be pushed out to 2025,” TSMC Chairman Mark Liu told Nikkei Asia. Note that “N4” is one of TSMC’s 4nm nodes. The issue is the lack of enough skilled workers and technicians that can move in and install the advanced equipment used in the foundry. TSMC is sending technicians over from its factories in Taiwan to help with the setup. TSMC is also building a second plant in...

iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will reportedly be in very short supply upon launch

According to a new report, the Apple iPhone 15 Pro and especially the iPhone 15 Pro Max will be in very short supply once they launch in September. This apparently has to do with problems with screen manufacturing at LG Display. Those problems stem from the fact that a new manufacturing process is being used in order to shrink the bezel size. It's apparently a similar issue to one Apple also faced for some Apple Watch models in the past. iPhone 14 Pro Max The displays for the iPhone 15 Pro (and, again, especially the Pro Max) made by LG are reportedly failing reliability tests...

Samsung unveils GDDR7: 40% faster and 20% more energy efficient than GDDR6

Almost exactly a year ago Samsung introduced GDDR6, which was capable of transmitting 24Gbps per pin. Now the company has completed the design of the next gen in graphics RAM dubbed GDD7. This one goes up to 32Gbps per pin for a total of 1.5 Terabytes per second, 40% faster than the 1.1 Terabytes per second that GDDR6 could achieve. The increase in speed is due to the adoption of 3-level Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM3). PAM3 is also used in USB4 and Thunderbolt 5, for example. GDDR6X used in cards like the Nvidia RTX 3090 and 4090 uses the related PAM4 standard. Anyway, besides...
