The benchmark score card confirms that the tablet is powered by a Dimensity 9500 chipset, which is what we expected. Geekbench 7 results for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra (SM-X940) This doesn’t appear to be a plus version of the chip since its Prime CPU core is clocked at 4.21GHz, which matches the frequency of the original 9500 chip.

Google Pixel 11 in for review

Last year was a big step for the Pixel 10, which gained a zoom camera (but downgraded the main camera), but this year, Google is keeping things simpler (and less innovative). The Google Pixel 11 is a straightforward yearly specs update. It keeps the body mostly unchanged; the screen is the same 6.3-incher, the battery is more or less the same, and so is the charging. What is new is the chipset - the 3nm Tensor G6, and the main camera, which packs a larger 1/1.56-inch main sensor (vs 1/2.0-inch on the Pixel 10), bringing it closer to the Pixel 9's 1/1.31-inch main unit. Not confusing at...

Samsung Galaxy S27 CAD-based renders leak

Yesterday some new CAD-based renders of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra leaked online, and today it's the vanilla Galaxy S27's turn to get the exact same treatment.

Xiaomi's Xring O3 examined - at least a two-generations leap in power efficiency

Xiaomi announced that the upcoming Xiaomi 18 Fold will be powered by the in-house Xring O3 chip, the successor to the Xring O1. What happened to the O2? Well, the O3 is so good, that Xiaomi skipped a number – that’s only partially a joke as Geekerwan examined the new chip and it says it delivers a two-generations improvement in energy efficiency compared to the O1. The Xring O3 is a contradiction – it uses older tech and yet it looks like it can fight the upcoming Dimensity 9600 and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chips. For starters, the chip is fabbed by TSMC on a 3nm node called N3P, an...
