Galaxy Tab S10 Lite Leak Reveals Specs, Design Tweaks and A Bold New Colour Variant

0

Highlights

  • The Tab S10 Lite features a 10.9″ 90Hz LCD, Exynos 1380 chip, 6GB/8GB RAM, and 8,000mAh battery. Charging drops to 25W, but Samsung promises 7 years of updates.

  • It will be available in Wi-Fi and 5G models with prices ranging from €399.99 to €529.99.

Reports suggest Samsung’s upcoming tablet lineup is shaping up differently this year. Alongside two new flagship models, the company is reportedly preparing to launch a mid-range Galaxy Tab S10 Lite ahead of the holiday season.

Now, fresh leaks from WinFuture reveal renders and specs that suggest a familiar device with a few notable changes and a striking new Coral Red colour option. Here’s everything we know so far.

Galaxy Tab S10 Lite – Key Specs (Rumoured)

Spec-wise, the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite seems very similar to 2022’s Galaxy Tab S9 FE. It features a 10.9-inch 90Hz LCD display, stereo speakers, and an 8,000mAh battery. Buyers will get options of 6GB or 8GB RAM. And the tablet runs on Samsung’s mid-range 5nm Exynos 1380 chip, the same processor used in the Tab S9 FE, rather than the more powerful Exynos 1580 powering this year’s Galaxy Tab S10 FE.

But the S10 Lite does introduce some differences. Camera hardware sees a shift with an 8MP rear sensor and a 5MP front-facing one. Charging speeds, however, drop from 45W on the Tab S9 FE to 25W on the S10 Lite.

A key improvement is Samsung’s promise of seven years of Android and security updates, up from the four to five years offered with the Tab S9 FE.

The next big change can be in design.

According to the leaked images, the device appears to be sporting larger bezels and a slightly lower resolution at 2112 x 1320, hinting at a different panel that may also offer reduced peak brightness.

Interestingly, while the magnetic strip for the bundled S Pen is no longer visible, the stylus still attaches magnetically near the camera, suggesting the change is cosmetic rather than functional.

The leaked images also reveal an eye-catching Coral Red finish, which isn’t a colour we have seen in recent Samsung tablets.

In terms of size and feel, the new tablet measures 6.6mm thick and weighs 524 grams, nearly identical to its predecessor.

Galaxy Tab S10 Lite – Price and Variants (Leaked)

According to WinFuture‘s report, Samsung plans to offer both Wi-Fi-only and 5G versions of the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite. The European pricing revealed stands as follows –

  • 6GB + 128GB (Wi-Fi) – €399.99 (~$467)
  • 8GB + 256GB (Wi-Fi) – €469.99 (~$550)
  • 6GB + 128GB (5G) – €459.99 (~$537)
  • 8GB + 256GB (5G) – €529.99 (~$620)

FAQs

Q1. What are the key specs of the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite?

Answer. The Tab S10 Lite is expected to feature a 10.9-inch 90Hz LCD display, Exynos 1380 chipset, 6GB or 8GB RAM, and an 8,000mAh battery. It includes stereo speakers, an 8MP rear camera, and a 5MP front camera. Charging speed is capped at 25W.

Q2. What design changes are coming with the Tab S10 Lite?

Answer. Leaked renders show larger bezels, a slightly lower resolution (2112 × 1320), and a new Coral Red colour variant. The magnetic S Pen strip is missing, but the stylus still attaches magnetically near the camera.

Apple May Skip iPhone 18 in 2026 to Launch First Foldable iPhone: Report

0

Highlights

  • Apple may skip the standard iPhone 18 in 2026, launching its first foldable iPhone instead.
  • iPhone 18 lineup will be staggered with iPhone 18 Air, Pro and Pro Max arriving in September 2026, while the base iPhone 18 and 18e are delayed to early 2027.
  • iPhone 17 series features the ultra-slim iPhone 17 Air and budget-friendly iPhone 17e with Dynamic Island and 3D Face Recognition.

Apple typically unveils its next-generation iPhones every September, but the iPhone 17 series is reportedly scheduled to launch earlier than usual. In the meantime, a new report suggests a major shake-up in Apple’s roadmap for 2026. According to the Korean publication ETNews, Apple may skip the standard iPhone 18 next year and instead debut its first foldable iPhone. Here’s what we know.

iPhone 18 Series Launch Plans

The Korean report claims Apple plans to shift its focus to foldables while still bringing five new models under the iPhone 18 lineup, though some will launch later. Apple is expected to introduce the affordable iPhone 17e in the first half of 2026, followed by a premium lineup in the second half.

As per the report, Apple will unveil the iPhone 18 Air, iPhone 18 Pro, and iPhone 18 Pro Max in September 2026, alongside the foldable iPhone. The standard iPhone 18 and budget-friendly iPhone 18e will reportedly be delayed until early 2027.

Pricing details suggest that Apple’s first foldable iPhone could start at around $1,999 (approx. ₹1,75,000), directly competing with Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7, which launched last month at the same price.

Analysts believe this new strategy reflects Apple’s attempt to address slowing smartphone sales. While the company recently sold its 3 billionth iPhone, shipment numbers have shown a decline. By staggering launches across the year, Apple aims to maintain consumer attention and potentially boost sales.

For now, Apple is preparing for the iPhone 17 series launch next month. Reports suggest the company will drop the Plus model and instead introduce the iPhone 17 Air, its slimmest iPhone yet at just 5.5mm thick and weighing around 149 grams.

Leaks also hint at the arrival of the budget-friendly iPhone 17e expected in May 2026. The device will succeed the iPhone 16e released earlier this year in February. It is rumoured to feature the same 6.1-inch OLED display with a 60Hz refresh rate as its predecessor but will include upgrades such as a Dynamic Island design and support for 3D Face Recognition.

FAQs

Q1. Will Apple launch the iPhone 18 series in 2026?

Answer. Yes, but with a twist. Apple is expected to release select iPhone 18 models, Air, Pro, and Pro Max, in September 2026, while the standard iPhone 18 and budget-friendly iPhone 18e may be delayed until early 2027.

Q2. Is Apple releasing a foldable iPhone?

Answer. Yes. According to reports, Apple plans to debut its first foldable iPhone in 2026, priced around $1,999, directly competing with Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7.

Q3. What’s new in the upcoming iPhone 17 series?

Answer. The iPhone 17 series will feature the ultra-slim iPhone 17 Air (just 5.5mm thick) and a budget iPhone 17e with upgrades like Dynamic Island and 3D Face Recognition, expected to launch in May 2026.

Apple is gearing up for the launch of the iPhone 17. Ahead of its big event next week, the company is widening its global reach while also facing fresh product leaks. Here’s a quick update on what’s keeping the rumour mill busy.

Apple Expands Social Media Footprint in China

According to the South China Morning Post, Apple has launched a new social media account on Xiaohongshu, also known internationally as RedNote. The timing coincides with Apple’s upcoming product showcase, which is expected to unveil the iPhone 17, 17 Air, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max, alongside Apple Watch Series 11, Ultra 3, and possibly AirPods Pro 3.

Apple also joined Threads earlier this year after staying off Meta’s Twitter/X rival for nearly two years. Now, with its official presence on RedNote, Apple is tapping into a platform that became globally recognized when TikTok faced a temporary ban in the U.S.

RedNote lets users in China share content worldwide using international phone numbers and even supports Sign In with Apple.

Apple’s move is already proving effective as the new RedNote account has gained over 200,000 followers since launching on Saturday. Apple has also maintained a long-standing presence on Weibo, where even Tim Cook has an official account.

Foxconn Starts iPhone 17 Production in Bengaluru

Meanwhile, Foxconn has reportedly begun small-scale production of the iPhone 17 at its Bengaluru plant, in addition to its existing operations in Chennai.

“Foxconn Bengaluru unit has commenced operation with the production of iPhone 17. This is in addition to the production of iPhone 17 at its Chennai unit,” an ET report noted.

The Bengaluru facility, spread across 300 acres near the airport in Doddaballapur and Devanahalli taluks, was acquired in 2023. It is now Foxconn’s second-largest manufacturing unit after its Longhua factory in China. With an investment of around INR 25,000 crore, the site is expected to reach an annual capacity of 20 million smartphones. The factory began operations last year and is now contributing to iPhone 17 production.

Apple has been heavily reliant on China for iPhone production previously, accounting for approximately 80% of its iPhone production. It is no news that the Cupertino Giant is actively working to diversify its supply chain by shifting some manufacturing to India and other countries.

Apple Leak Reveals Seven Upcoming Devices Beyond iPhones

Just weeks before Apple’s September event, internal identifiers spotted by MacRumors have revealed details about several products in development across major categories. Here’s a look at Apple’s broader product roadmap stretching into 2025 and 2026 –

  • HomePod mini (B525) – Expected to feature the T8310 architecture from recent Apple Watches, offering a dual-core CPU and Neural Engine for better performance and audio compared to the S5 chip in the current version.
  • Apple TV – May upgrade from the A15 to the A17 Pro chip, delivering improved gaming, AI capabilities, and potentially Apple’s in-house Wi-Fi and Bluetooth silicon.
  • Studio Display 2 (J427, J527) – References suggest a switch to mini-LED technology, with a likely launch around 2026 alongside M5-powered Macs.
  • iPad mini – Set to join the A19 Pro chip family, with potential OLED updates coming closer to 2026.
  • Entry-Level iPad – Could receive an A18 chip refresh in spring 2025, adding Apple Intelligence support while keeping its design and affordability intact.
  • Vision Pro 2 – Linked to the M5 chip, the next-gen headset may retain most hardware features but offer a redesigned strap for comfort, with a possible release in late 2025.
  • Apple Watch Series 11, Ultra 3, SE 3 – All tipped to run on the S11 chip, based on the same architecture as the S9 and S10. Major performance boosts may not arrive until future generations.

FAQs

Q1. What is Apple doing to expand its social media presence in China?

Answer. Apple has launched an official account on Xiaohongshu (RedNote), a popular Chinese platform, just ahead of its iPhone 17 launch. The account gained over 200,000 followers within days, complementing Apple’s existing presence on Weibo and its recent entry into Threads.

Q2. Where is the iPhone 17 being manufactured in India?

Answer. Foxconn has started small-scale production of the iPhone 17 at its Bengaluru facility, in addition to its Chennai operations. The new plant spans 300 acres and is expected to produce up to 20 million smartphones annually, making it Foxconn’s second-largest site after Longhua, China.

Q3. What upcoming Apple products have been leaked ahead of the September event?

Answer.  Internal identifiers suggest seven new devices are in development, including HomePod mini with upgraded architecture, Apple TV with A17 Pro chip, Studio Display 2 with mini-LED, iPad mini and entry-level iPad with next-gen chips, Vision Pro 2 with M5 chip and Apple Watch Series 11, Ultra 3, and SE 3 with S11 chip.

iPhone 17 ‘Liquid Silicone’ Case Video Leak Hints at Lanyard Support

0

Highlights

  • A video shared by leaker Majin Bu shows a Liquid Silicone case fitted on an iPhone 17 dummy.
  • The case features two small holes at the bottom edge, strongly suggesting built-in lanyard support.
  • It’s unclear whether the iPhone 17 MagSafe case lineup will officially include this feature or continue outsourcing it.

Apple’s iPhone 17 is only weeks away and we already have a good idea about what to expect from the upcoming lineup. While we wait for the official announcement, fresh evidence now suggests the company is preparing a new feature for its MagSafe cases. Here’s what the latest leak reveals.

iPhone 17 Case Video Leaks

Well-known Leaker Majin Bu on X (formerly Twitter) has shared a video on social media showing what he describes as a “Liquid Silicone” case fitted on an iPhone 17 dummy unit.

For reference, “Liquid Glass” is Apple’s name for the transparent design elements coming with iOS 26. The video doesn’t clarify the meaning behind “Liquid Silicone,” but it does highlight a design tweak that aligns with recent rumours.

Earlier this month, multiple leakers reported that Apple may introduce lanyard support for its official iPhone 17 cases. The video backs this up and shows a silicone case similar in shape to one that would fit the iPhone 16 but with two small holes at the bottom edge. According to experts, this is most likely designed for attaching a lanyard strap.

This design mirrors the lanyard slot already present on Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 charging case.

While third-party case makers often add lanyards or straps for better grip and camera usability, Apple has so far relied on partners like Incase to sell lanyard accessories for AirPods Pro rather than offering its own. It remains to be seen if the iPhone 17 MagSafe case lineup will follow the same approach.

FAQs

Q1. What is the Liquid Silicone case shown in the iPhone 17 leak?

Answer. The leaked video by Majin Bu shows a Liquid Silicone case fitted on an iPhone 17 dummy unit. While the term isn’t officially defined, it likely refers to a new material or design style Apple may use for its MagSafe cases.

Q2. Does the iPhone 17 case support lanyards?

Answer. Yes, the leaked case features two small holes at the bottom edge, which experts believe are intended for attaching a lanyard strap, similar to the lanyard slot found on the AirPods Pro 2 charging case.

Q3. Will Apple officially offer lanyard support for iPhone 17 cases?

Answer. It’s not confirmed yet. Apple has previously relied on third-party partners like Incase for lanyard accessories, so it remains to be seen whether the iPhone 17 MagSafe case lineup will include built-in lanyard support directly from Apple.

Samsung to Manufacture Laptops in India at Greater Noida Facility – What We Know

0

Highlights

  • Samsung will begin manufacturing laptops at its Greater Noida facility.
  • The move follows a meeting with India’s IT Minister, reinforcing Samsung’s commitment to domestic tech production and innovation.
  • While specific models aren’t confirmed, local production could boost the Galaxy Book lineup’s competitiveness against HP, Dell, and Lenovo.

Samsung is extending its “Make in India” push beyond smartphones by starting local production of laptops, according to a PTI report. The company is expected to manufacture several of its laptop models at the Greater Noida facility, where it already produces Galaxy smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches.

This development comes shortly after a meeting between Samsung Southwest Asia executives and India’s Union IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw. The meeting underscored Samsung’s commitment to deepening its presence in India while supporting the government’s domestic manufacturing initiative.

Samsung’s Laptop Manufacturing Plans

As per the PTI report, laptops will soon join Samsung’s list of “Made in India” devices alongside its smartphones, tablets, and wearables. The Greater Noida plant is expected to play a key role in this expansion, highlighting the company’s growing focus on local production.

During the meeting, IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw stated, “Samsung continues to expand manufacturing of its advanced technology devices in Bharat, driven by talent and innovation.”

Samsung has been steadily building its manufacturing footprint in India since 1996. Today, it operates the world’s second-largest mobile manufacturing unit in the country and is India’s second-largest handset exporter after Apple. While smartphones have been a major focus, this marks the company’s first significant move toward establishing a laptop manufacturing base in India.

What This Means for the Laptop Market?

Although this update is promising, Samsung has not yet issued an official statement confirming which laptop models will be manufactured locally.

If the move goes forward, it could give Samsung’s Galaxy Book lineup a stronger foothold in India’s competitive laptop market, currently dominated by HP, Dell, and Lenovo.

The local production of Samsung laptops could also intensify competition, especially since the brand’s laptops, while feature-packed, have yet to gain widespread popularity in India compared to its smartphone segment.

FAQs

Q1. Is Samsung planning to manufacture laptops in India?

Answer. Yes. Samsung is set to begin local production of laptops at its Greater Noida facility, where it already manufactures smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches.

Q2. What prompted Samsung’s decision to expand laptop manufacturing in India?

Answer. The decision follows a meeting between Samsung Southwest Asia executives and India’s Union IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, highlighting Samsung’s support for the government’s “Make in India” initiative and its commitment to expanding domestic tech manufacturing.

Q3. How will this move affect the Indian laptop market?

Answer. If implemented, it could strengthen Samsung’s Galaxy Book lineup in India, increasing competition with established brands like HP, Dell, and Lenovo, though Samsung has yet to confirm which models will be locally produced.

iPhone 16e arrived earlier this year, and following its lead, the upcoming iPhone 17e is also expected to target budget-conscious buyers within Apple’s ecosystem. While the iPhone 17 lineup is coming this September, the affordable iPhone 17e isn’t expected until next year. But we don’t have to wait that long to know more about this model, because leaks have started pouring in.

A new leak from tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS) on Weibo has now revealed several key specifications of the upcoming device. Here’s everything we know about the phone.

iPhone 17e – Specifications (Rumoured)

According to the DCS’s post based on details reportedly sourced from the supply chain, the iPhone 17e will feature a 6.1-inch OLED display, most likely the same 60Hz low-power panel used in the iPhone 16. The device is also tipped to retain the Dynamic Island design and will run on Apple’s upcoming A19 chipset.

In terms of cameras, the front will house a 12MP selfie camera with 3D facial recognition, while the back is expected to sport a 48MP primary sensor.

The phone’s overall design is also rumoured to undergo noticeable changes. However, no specific details on that have come out yet.

iPhone 16e Found Its Base in the Market

The iPhone 16e has already laid the groundwork for its successor’s success. According to a Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP) report for the June 2025 quarter, the 16e performed strongly in Apple’s portfolio during its first full quarter on sale.

Launched in February as a replacement for the long-running iPhone SE, it quickly outpaced expectations by appealing to both former SE users and buyers of older models.

The report highlights that the iPhone 16e captured 11% of US iPhone sales in the June 2025 quarter, more than double the SE’s 5% share in the same quarter last year.

In contrast, legacy models like the iPhone 14 and 15 fell sharply, dropping from 28% of unit sales in June 2024 to just 15% this year. This shift shows how the 16e has successfully reshaped Apple’s lower-end sales mix.

FAQs

Q1. What are the key specifications of the upcoming iPhone 17e?

Answer. The iPhone 17e is expected to feature a 6.1-inch OLED display (likely 60Hz), Apple’s new A19 chipset, Dynamic Island design, a 48MP rear camera, and a 12MP front camera with 3D facial recognition.

Q2. When will the iPhone 17e be released?

Answer. While the main iPhone 17 lineup is expected in September 2025, the budget-friendly iPhone 17e is likely to launch sometime in 2026.

Q3. How did the iPhone 16e perform in the market?

Answer. The iPhone 16e captured 11% of US iPhone sales in the June 2025 quarter, more than doubling the previous SE’s share and outperforming older models like the iPhone 14 and 15, which dropped to 15%.
