Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 benchmark listing leaves nothing to the imagination
Samsung's next flagship tablets aren't coming until fall presumably, but we already know quite a lot about the Galaxy Tab S11 and Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra. The two slates were recently spotted on Geekbench, the benchmark score aggregator, which means some of their key specs have been reports claimed Samsung has decided to use MediaTek's Dimensity 9400 or Dimensity 9400+ in its flagship tablets, which was probably a bit disappointing for Samsung fans used to with devices powered by Qualcomm's Dimensity 9400 chipset made its debut last year and will most likely be outclassed by the incoming Dimensity 9500. To make matters worse, MediaTek's new flagship chipset will be introduced before Samsung's tablets said, we have one more piece of the puzzles revealed thanks to a new benchmark listing. The regular Galaxy Tab S11 was recently spotted on the Geekbench website with model number SM-X736B. The tablet listed uses a chipset with eight cores: 1 core @ 3.73GHz, 3 cores @ 3.30GHz, and 4 cores @ 2.40GHz. The base frequency of the chipset is 2.40GHz, but that's about all the information available at first glance.

According to previous reports, the Galaxy Tab S11 and Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra might be equipped with either Dimensity 9400 or Dimensity 9400+ CPUs. It's also possible that Samsung will put the Dimensity 9400 chip inside its regular Galaxy Tab S11 and the Dimensity 9400+ CPU in the Ultra model. Besides packing a MediaTek Dimensity 9400/9400+ chipset, the Galaxy Tab S11 seems to come with 12GB RAM and Android 16. The Ultra model is likely to have slightly upgraded specs, but it's unclear which pieces of hardware will be beefed up. Both Samsung's flagship tablets, Galaxy Tab S11 and Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra, are expected to be introduced sometime in September. There won't be a Plus model this year, as Samsung seems to have decided to limit its lineup of flagship tablets to just two models.

Youth preferring to shop and earn online taxed
Listen to article In a highly unusual move, the government has proposed to extract Rs64 billion in the next fiscal year by taxing the digital, online platforms as well as courier services, which may discourage digitalisation of the economy and youth of the country. From 0.25% to 5%, the new tax has been imposed on digital service providers, e-commerce platforms, websites, social media platforms and poor courier doing business of delivering goods at homes and receiving cash on delivery. The government has defined the digitally delivered services as any service delivered over the internet or electronic networks, where the delivery is automated and requires minimal or no human intervention including music, audio and video streaming services, cloud services, online software application services, services delivered through online interpersonal interaction, ie, telemedicine, e-learning etc, online banking services, architectural design services, research and consultancy reports, accounting services in the form of digital files or any other online facility. E-commerce has been defined as the sale or purchase of goods and services conducted over computer networks by methods specifically designed for the purpose of receiving or placing orders either through websites, mobile applications or online marketplaces having digital ordering features by using either mobile phones, iPads, Tablets or automated computer-to-computer ordering systems. The government has introduced a new law whereby it will charge every foreign vendor having significant digital presence in Pakistan in the name of Digital Presence Proceeds Tax on proceeds of every supply made from outside Pakistan of digitally ordered services or goods, irrespective of whether delivered digitally or physically. It has proposed a 5% tax on digital services. These foreign vendors will be liable to provide client-wise information of local vendors or foreign vendors with or without a permanent establishment whose advertisements are relayed in Pakistan through their platform and the amount received. Banks will be required to deduct the 5% tax. On the use of local online platforms, the government will charge a 1% tax where the amount does not exceed Rs10,000. Where the amount paid does not exceed Rs25,000, the rate will be 2% and where the amount exceeds Rs25,000, the tax rate will be 0.25%. Likewise, the government has introduced a new tax on cash on delivery by courier services. On the supply of electronic and electrical goods, the rate is 0.25%, on clothing articles, 2% of the gross amount will be charged and on other goods, the rate is 1% of the value. The government has also proposed fines on allowing unregistered persons to use online platforms without registering with the FBR. Where an online marketplace allows an unregistered vendor, whether resident or non-resident involved in e-commerce business supplying digitally ordered goods or services, who is required to register under the Sales Tax Act 1990 and Income Tax Ordinance 2001, under Section 181 before using the platform, he will be liable to a fine of Rs1 million.

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 782 single-core score and a 2,637 multi-core score in Geekbench 5.5.1 for Android. Nothing else is known about the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite, but since people are already in possession of prototypes and running benchmarks on them, we're pretty sure we'll hear much more about this device sooner, rather than later.
