Oppo Find X9 Pro's telephoto camera detailed
Oppo has already been rumored to be switching things up in the camera department on its upcoming Find X9 Pro, going from two telephotos on its predecessor to a single 200 MP snapper. Today a new rumor out of China details that camera, and reveals that it's not going to be using the Samsung ISOCELL HP9 sensor that's been prevalent in a lot of Chinese flagships lately. Instead, it will be a new sensor, not used before in a periscope telephoto: the Samsung ISOCELL HP5. This is a 1/1.56" type, so it's slightly smaller than the HP9 behemoth. The source of this rumor claims the shot quality at 10x zoom will still be good, implying that past that it won't be, and even adding that this single periscope solution will probably not live up to the dual periscopes of the Find X8 Pro. The Find X9 Pro will also have a 50 MP main camera and a 50 MP ultrawide. It's expected to be powered by the upcoming MediaTek Dimensity 9500 SoC. Oppo Find X8 Pro Source (in Chinese) | Via

Report: Samsung was shocked by Google's switch to TSMC for future Tensor chips
Samsung foundries manufactured the first four Google Tensor chips – the G1 through G4 that were used in the Pixel 6 through Pixel 9 series. Now insiders are saying that Google has switched alliances and the next five generations, Tensor G5 through G9, will be fabbed by TSMC – these will be used in the Pixel 10 (coming later this year) to Pixel 14 series. This reportedly came as a shock to executives over at Samsung who are now convening meetings to analyze what went wrong and to chart possible paths to recovery. Besides Samsung's Exynos division, Google was the last major chipset client to exclusively use Samsung foundries. Qualcomm still uses them for the occasional Snapdragon, but it's the likes of Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 and 6 Gen 3 – everything else, the flagship chips especially, has gone over to TSMC. Other companies such as Nvidia used Samsung for GPU dies, but moved over to TSMC several years ago – the one major exception being Nintendo Switch 2's Tegra T239 chip, but that is fabbed on an old 8nm node. So, what next? Google will be getting 3nm Tensor G5 chips for the Pixel 10 models coming later this year. Samsung seems to have also lost the modem business to MediaTek – Pixel 10 phones will reportedly use MediaTek T900 modems instead (although some rumors still point to an Exynos modem). As for the GPU, that will come from Imagination. Tensor G5 will focus on improving efficiency rather than bringing more performance – that task will be left for the Tensor G6. Google is also working on a Tensor chip for smartwatches, though it's not clear which foundry will be used for that one. As for Samsung, the foundries are reportedly seeing improved yields from the 2nm GAA ('Gate All Around') node. This is good news for the Exynos 2600, which will reportedly be featured in the Galaxy S26 series – if that chip performs well, it can become a showcase of what Samsung's foundries can do, which will help when the company tries to lure old customers away from TSMC.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra Leaks: The Full Rundown So Far
Samsung is gearing up to redefine the high-performance tablet market with its upcoming Galaxy Tab S11 series. Early leaks and reports suggest that these flagship devices will feature advanced hardware, including MediaTek's Dimensity 9400 series chipsets, and are anticipated to debut in late 2025. If you're considering an upgrade to a premium tablet, the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra could emerge as a compelling option. Watch this video on YouTube. Two Models, One Powerful Lineup The Galaxy Tab S11 series is rumored to consist of two models: the standard Galaxy Tab S11 and the high-end Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra. Both models are expected to be powered by MediaTek's state-of-the-art Dimensity 9400 chipsets, with the Ultra model likely featuring the more advanced Dimensity 9400 Plus. This marks a significant shift for Samsung, which has traditionally relied on Qualcomm or its in-house Exynos processors for flagship devices. The Dimensity 9400 Plus chipset in the Ultra model is designed to deliver top-tier performance. It features a Cortex X925 core clocked at 3.73 GHz and a 12-core ARM Immortalis G925 GPU, making it well-suited for demanding tasks such as gaming, multitasking, and video editing. However, early benchmark scores—1420 for single-core and 5312 for multi-core—indicate that the Ultra may slightly trail smartphones equipped with the same chipset. This performance gap could be attributed to the tablet's focus on sustained performance and thermal efficiency, which are often prioritized over raw speed in larger devices. Hardware Designed for Power Users Samsung appears to be targeting power users with the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra's impressive hardware specifications. The tablet is expected to feature 12GB of RAM and 256GB of base storage, providing ample space for apps, media, and productivity tools. Running on Android 16, the Ultra is likely to offer a smooth and intuitive user experience, enhanced by the latest software innovations. Battery life is another standout feature of the Galaxy Tab S11 series. The standard model is rumored to include an 8160 mAh battery, while the Ultra could come equipped with a massive 11,374 mAh capacity. This substantial battery size is designed to support all-day usage, even under heavy workloads. Whether you're streaming, working, or gaming, the Ultra's battery is engineered to keep up with your demands, making sure uninterrupted productivity and entertainment. Performance and Strategic Positioning Despite its impressive hardware, the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra's benchmark results have sparked some discussion. Compared to smartphones using the same Dimensity 9400 Plus chipset, the Ultra's scores are slightly lower. This discrepancy may reflect Samsung's focus on optimizing the tablet for sustained performance and thermal management, which are critical for larger devices that handle prolonged workloads. Samsung's decision to streamline its lineup by offering only the base and Ultra models is also noteworthy. By skipping a 'Plus' variant, the company appears to be simplifying its product range to target two distinct user groups: casual users and professionals. This focused approach could enhance Samsung's competitiveness in the high-performance Android tablet market, allowing the company to better address the specific needs of its audience. Launch Timeline and What to Expect The Galaxy Tab S11 series is expected to launch in late 2025, likely during the fall season. For those in the market for a new tablet, these devices are shaping up to be strong contenders. With MediaTek's latest chipsets, generous RAM and storage, and long-lasting batteries, the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra is poised to appeal to power users seeking a premium experience. As the release date approaches, more details are likely to emerge, including pricing and additional features. For now, the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra represents a significant step forward for Samsung, combining innovative technology with a refined market strategy. This approach aims to deliver a high-performance tablet tailored to the needs of modern users, making sure it stands out in an increasingly competitive market.
