Gemini now summarizes Gmail emails automatically and by default

Gemini will start summarizing your emails in Gmail automatically and by default. The summaries will appear at the top of the email content "for messages where a summary is helpful", Google says, "such as longer email threads or messages with several replies". Gemini will synthesize all the key points from the email thread and will automatically update the summary to include information from any subsequent replies.

Samsung hit with $117M fine over patent infringement

Samsung found itself under a patent infringement case filed with the U.S. District Court in Texarkana, Texas. The court reached an early verdict and ordered Samsung to pay out $117.7 million in damages. The plaintiff? Maxell (formerly Hitachi Maxell), whose patents related to Galaxy smartphone and tablet unlocking tech, data management and smart home platforms were violated.

vivo X200 Ultra Photography kit in action

vivo X200 Ultra Photography kit hands-on review Few things go hand in hand better with an Ultra, than a Photography kit. Xiaomi has been putting these out for several generations of its ultimate flagship, while vivo had a third-party option for the X100 Ultra last year. For the X200 Ultra, they're making an official one, and it's one-upping Xiaomi. The vivo X200 Ultra Photography kit is made by PGYTech, a well-known company in the camera accessory field.

Google Pixel 10 series will keep this important connectivity feature despite modem swap

Google's upcoming Pixel 10 family will be using the Tensor G5 chipset, manufactured by TSMC, and since it's switching from Samsung's foundry, it will also switch modems. No more Exynos, the Pixel 10 devices are due to get the MediaTek T900. You may have been wondering whether the new modem would affect the next-gen Pixels' ability to connect to satellites, and the answer seems to be no, based on a new teardown of the Adaptive Connectivity Services app. Code in this app does reference Pixel 10 handsets (identified by previously matched codenames) having Satellite SOS capabilities, so...

Oppo A5m retailer listing reveals its specs and price ahead of time

Oppo's A5 line is soon going to add another member - the A5m. Despite not having been made official yet, this has been prematurely listed by a Polish retailer, and the listing has outed some of the phone's specs, along with its pricing in Poland. Let's start with that - it will go for PLN 899, which right now translates into approximately $239 or €211. For that amount of cash, you're getting a 6.67-inch 720x1604 LCD screen with 90 Hz refresh rate, the Snapdragon 6s Gen 1 chipset, 8GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, a 50 MP main camera with a 2 MP decorative sensor next to it, a 5 MP selfie...

iPhone 16 was the best-selling phone of Q1 2025

Apple and Samsung dominated the top-ten best-selling phones list according to the latest Counterpoint Research report. The two brands accounted for nine out of the top ten best-sellers, with Xiaomi being the only other brand featured in the rankings. The iPhone 16 was the best-selling device for the first three months of the year, marking a return for the baseline iPhone model for the first time since 2023. The device fared particularly well across the Middle East and Africa region as well as Japan, where it recorded its highest growth. The 16 Pro Max came in second, followed by the...

Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Lite seemingly spotted in the Geekbench database

Back in April, we heard a rumor that Samsung was working on the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite, which would be the cheapest Tab S10. This was said to be using the Exynos 1380 SoC. Now, a Samsung tablet with the model number SM-X406B has been spotted in the Geekbench online database, and wouldn't you know it - it's powered by the Exynos 1380. Since Samsung uses the "X" prefix in its model numbers for the Galaxy Tab S line, this is pretty obviously the Tab S10 Lite. It has 6GB of RAM and runs Android 15, and those are all the details that the benchmark has revealed. As you can see, it managed a...

A merger between Samsung's LSI and Foundry divisions is getting increasingly likely

Samsung's chip-manufacturing business isn't doing great, and poor yield is partially to blame. Even the Galaxy S25 series switched entirely to Snapdragon this year. Though the Exynos will return to the S26 series if the rumors are correct. The issues with Samsung's LSI (the chip design arm) run so deep that reports suggest a merger between Samsung LSI and another division, most likely Foundry. The initial rumors suggest that Samsung is planning to merge Samsung MX (Mobile Experience) and LSI, but the latest development is pointing to a Foundry-LSI merger instead. A South Korean news...

Smartphone market in Europe slips 2%, premium phones on the rise

Canalys just came out with its report on the European market for Q1 2025, which shows a modest decline in overall sales. The whole market slipped 2%, but there's a bit of nuance here. Analysts reveal that vendors sold 32.4 million units, down from 33.1 million in Q1 2024, but about 32% of those sales were premium phones priced above €800. Of course, Apple and Samsung are the biggest winners here. Apple scored a 10% increase in total sales year-on-year, securing second place with a 22% market share, while Samsung grew less than 1%. Nonetheless, Samsung sits atop the charts with a...

Apple rumored to be testing a 200 MP camera ahead of three years of iPhone design changes

Apple has never been one to quickly jump onto trends, taking its sweet time and only using a new technology when it feels it's mature enough. That may be the point that 200 MP cameras have just reached, since Apple is now rumored to be testing just such a sensor. There is no more information on the matter at all, so we don't even know which particular sensor and for what camera, but it is an interesting development nevertheless. Of its competitors, Samsung has enjoyed using 200 MP for its Ultra's main camera (and now the S25 Edge's as well), while most other companies have only done so...

Apple is preparing to launch several new smart home products

In the last few years, Apple has been trying to penetrate markets outside its traditional ones, including the automotive industry. Now, according to the latest report from Mark Gurman, Apple is eyeing the smart home market as well. In the past, Apple dipped its toe with the HomePod and HomePod mini, but it wasn't the success the company hoped for. It looks like Apple is taking a second shot at this with several new smart home products that will likely be released by the end of 2025 and in early 2026. One of them is an iPad-like device with a robotic arm. This sounds like a...

Galaxy Z Flip7's Exynos 2500 chipset gets benchmarked, here are the results

Samsung is now rumored to be using the delayed Exynos 2500 chipset for the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip7 smartphone. And a benchmark run of a prototype, bearing the model number SM-F766U, has been spotted in the Geekbench database. That's interesting since that model number belongs to the version headed to the US, so it seems very likely that the Flip7 will use the Exynos 2500 all over the world. The benchmark gives us an idea of what to expect, performance-wise, from the SoC that was meant to be in the Galaxy S25 family but ended up being replaced with the Snapdragon 8 Elite due to yield...

Google's future Tensor chipsets will be manufactured by TSMC

Google's Tensor SoCs have so far been manufactured by Samsung's foundry, and they were never seen as the top performers or even the most efficient flagship chipsets. But according to sources close to Digitimes, the upcoming Tensor G5 chip will likely come out of TSMC's facility. This is yet another confirmation of a rumor we heard back in 2024. The Pixel 10 series launch is set for this fall and according to the latest reports, Google struck a deal with TSMC, so the Taiwanese chipmaker will manufacture the next few generations of Tensor silicon. The report claims that the contract is...

Samsung Galaxy A57 to use a new chipset

Samsung launched the Galaxy A56 in March, and it's powered by Samsung's own Exynos 1580 SoC. Its successor, the Galaxy A57, is now said to be bringing the new Exynos 1680 SoC when it arrives (most likely in 2026). The Exynos 1680 allegedly has the model number S5E8865 and the codename Terra. No other details are known about it yet, but it is probably safe to assume that it will use an Xclipse GPU just like its predecessor. Samsung Galaxy A56 There is however plenty of time left until the Galaxy A57's unveiling, time during which we'll surely learn more about its SoC. The Exynos...

Nothing CMF Buds 2 Plus review

The CMF Buds 2 Plus are the premium model among the trio of new earbuds from Nothing. Part of the entry-level CMF range, these are all meant to be relatively affordable, with the most expensive Buds 2 Plus coming in at $69. And if that's not low enough, they cost just $39 (INR 3,299) in India. Compared to the Buds 2 and the Buds 2a, the Buds 2 Plus try to provide an elevated experience with improvements to the audio and ANC side of things.

Weekly poll results: the Galaxy S25 Edge needed a bigger battery, lower price to be successful

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge could be the herald of a new trend in high-end smartphones – a focus on a thin and light design. However, last week’s poll clearly shows that there are several key issues that need to be addressed before this trend gets off the ground and the S25 Edge isn’t the model that can see it done. The first issue is one that can be corrected – at $1,100/€1,250/₹110,000 it’s just too expensive. We don’t doubt that there will be discounts and deals down the line, but how low will it go? Low enough to convince nearly 23% of voters to reconsider? That remains to be...

Samsung is reportedly looking to replace its entry-level TWS buds this year. The new device is called the Galaxy Buds Core and replaces the Buds FE that came out in 2023.
