Highlights

  • The Tensor G5 chip in the Pixel 10 shows major progress in heat control, resolving overheating issues.
  • While slightly better than the Pixel 9, the Pixel 10 struggles in benchmarks and demanding games.
  • Tensor G5 excels in sustained performance and AI features.

Google has positioned its Tensor chipsets as unique alternatives to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processors. They claimed to be prioritising AI-driven experiences over raw speed. With the new Pixel 10 series, the company claims that the Tensor G5 delivers its “biggest leap in performance yet.”

Early reviews, however, paint a mixed picture. While the chip runs cooler than before, benchmark results still leave much to be desired. Here’s what early indicates.

Tensor Improvements

Since its debut, the Tensor lineup has focused less on topping benchmark charts and more on delivering Google’s AI vision. Over the years, issues such as poor cellular reception and sluggish performance were gradually fixed.

By the Pixel 8 generation, overheating became the main concern, one that continued into the Pixel 9 series. With the Pixel 10, though, Google seems to have finally addressed the problem.

9to5Google’s Damien Wilde noted in his review, “I haven’t noticed any overheating, and the phone doesn’t get particularly hot to the touch, save a few times during setup—basically like every phone in existence. I’m hoping that cooling and temperatures remain key focus points for the SoC’s future development, as heat and power management haven’t been Tensor’s greatest strength.”

Real-World Usage Vs Benchmarks

In day-to-day use, the Pixel 10 series doesn’t show any dramatic jump compared to the Pixel 9. Regular tasks and gaming feel largely the same, and this is echoed in benchmark scores. Reviews from GSMArena and ShortCircuit confirm that while the Pixel 10 performs slightly better than its predecessor, it still falls far short of Snapdragon-powered flagships. Android Authority also found similar results, adding that the performance gap between the standard Pixel 10 and the Pro models has narrowed compared to previous years.

When it comes to demanding games like Genshin Impact, the Pixel 10 struggles to maintain a stable 60fps at the highest settings. GPU benchmarks also reveal that Tensor G5’s graphics performance lags well behind competitors.

Where Tensor G5 does stand out is in sustained performance. Benchmarks show that the Pixel 10 maintains higher stability, which means less performance drop-off over time than even powerful rivals like the Galaxy S25 Ultra. While peak numbers aren’t impressive, the chip manages to hold on to its performance for longer periods without worsening heat issues. Of course, actual results vary depending on the type of game or app in use.

Final Conclusion Based on Early Pixel 10 Review

The Pixel 10’s Tensor G5 is a notable step forward in managing thermals and offering consistent performance, but it still can’t compete head-to-head with Snapdragon flagships in raw power or graphics. For users who prioritise AI features and stable performance over benchmark bragging rights, the Pixel 10 remains a compelling choice.

FAQs

Q1. How does the Tensor G5 in Pixel 10 improve over previous generations?

Answer. The Tensor G5 shows major improvements in thermal management, resolving overheating issues seen in the Pixel 8 and Pixel 9 series. It runs cooler and maintains stable performance over time.

Q2. Does the Pixel 10 outperform Snapdragon-powered phones?

Answer. No, while the Pixel 10 performs slightly better than its predecessor, it still trails behind Snapdragon flagships in raw speed and graphics benchmarks.

Q3. Is the Pixel 10 suitable for gaming?

Answer. The Pixel 10 struggles to maintain stable 60fps in demanding games like Genshin Impact at high settings. Its GPU performance lags behind rivals, though sustained performance is more consistent.

WhatsApp is expanding access to its new AI-powered Writing Help tool, designed to make messages clearer, more polished, and even more fun. The feature was first spotted in the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.25.23.7 and was initially available only to a small group of users for testing. This limited rollout allowed WhatsApp to quietly iron out bugs and gather feedback before moving to a wider release. Now, more users on both iOS and Android can try out the feature.

In a dedicated blog post, WhatsApp explained that Writing Help acts as an AI assistant to refine messages while keeping conversations private and secure. Users can draft a message in either a one-on-one or group chat and tap the new pencil icon to get started.

The tool generates “at least three” alternative phrasings, based on one of five tone options. It has “Rephrase” that improves clarity and flow without changing meaning, “Professional” to adjust wording for more formal communication, “Funny” to add humour or a playful twist, “Supportive” that makes the message softer and more uplifting and “Proofread” to fix grammar or spelling mistakes.

After reviewing, users can keep their original message or swap it with one of the AI-generated suggestions. Importantly, the recipient will not see any indication that AI was used.

Privacy and Meta’s “Private Processing”

image

A key question is whether the feature compromises privacy. WhatsApp says Writing Help is powered by Meta’s Private Processing technology, which ensures that neither Meta nor WhatsApp can read the user’s messages or the AI’s rewritten suggestions. The company emphasises that the system processes only the message currently in the input box, it does not scan past chat history.

Meta also confirmed that the feature is opt-in only, disabled by default. Moreover, it must be enabled manually. The company claims no user data is stored, and all processing is both anonymous and encrypted.

Currently, Writing Help remains in testing with no confirmed release timeline. However, given Meta’s push to integrate AI features across its apps, a wider rollout is expected in the near future.

FAQs

Q1. What is WhatsApp’s new AI Writing Help tool?

Answer. It’s an AI-powered assistant that refines messages with options like Rephrase, Professional, Funny, Supportive, and Proofread to improve clarity and tone.

Q2. How does WhatsApp ensure privacy with this feature?

Answer. The tool uses Meta’s Private Processing, which keeps messages encrypted and anonymous. It processes only the current input and doesn’t scan chat history.

Q3. Is the AI Writing Help feature enabled by default?

Answer. No, it’s opt-in only. Users must manually enable it, and WhatsApp confirms that no user data is stored during processing.

According to a report by Android Authority, demo units in New Zealand displayed images under the tagline “Here’s what our community has captured with Phone (3).” However, attentive users quickly realised the photos weren’t captured by the smartphone at all. Instead, they were licensed stock photographs shot by professional photographers using high-end cameras.

Some of these images had even been circulating online since 2023, well before the Phone (3) was introduced.

One photographer named Roman Fox has confirmed to Android Authority that his image of a car’s headlight was featured on the demo device and was originally taken with a Fujifilm XH2s. While Nothing had legally acquired the photo through a stock image library, the presentation of it as a community-captured Phone (3) sample is what sparked the criticism.

Nothing’s Response

Responding to the issue, Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis clarified in a post on X (formerly Twitter) that the images were only meant to serve as “placeholders” in early demo units. He explained that the company intended to replace them with genuine Phone (3) photos ahead of the official rollout.

However, due to what he called an “unfortunate oversight,” the swap never happened. Evangelidis stressed that the incident was not a deliberate attempt to mislead buyers.

The situation has raised questions about how smartphone makers market their devices. Critics of the brand have been quick to point out that for a brand that has consistently emphasised design innovation and transparency, the misstep feels particularly damaging.

Even minor lapses like this can affect consumer confidence and despite Nothing’s explanation, some potential buyers may now view the Phone (3) with scepticism.

FAQs

Q1. What recent controversy is Nothing Phone (3) facing?

Answer. Retail demo units in New Zealand displayed licensed stock images as if they were captured by the Phone (3), misleading users about its camera capabilities.

Q2. How did Nothing respond to the issue of stock images?

Answer. Co-founder Akis Evangelidis stated the images were placeholders meant for early demo units and were mistakenly not replaced due to an “unfortunate oversight.”

Q3. Why has the incident of stock images used as Nothing Phone (3) raised concerns among users?

Answer. Critics argue the misstep undermines Nothing’s emphasis on transparency and design integrity, potentially affecting consumer trust in the brand.

Apple is reportedly set to take a major share of TSMC’s upcoming 2nm chip production. This is because its next-generation A20 processor is expected to debut in the iPhone 18 series. A fresh report now sheds light on TSMC’s production roadmap, the surge in demand and how Apple is positioning itself to dominate early access. Here’s all we know.

Apple Secures TSMC’s 2nm production

According to the DigiTimes report via 9to5Mac, TSMC will begin scaling up its 2nm process in the coming quarter. Citing industry supply chain sources, the report says the Taiwanese semiconductor giant is said to be charging as much as $30,000 per wafer, an all-time high price point. Despite the steep cost, demand remains extremely strong with Apple securing “nearly half” of TSMC’s 2nm output.

To cope with this surge, TSMC has reportedly expanded planned monthly capacity at its Baoshan and Kaohsiung facilities. Meanwhile, its 4nm and 3nm production lines are already fully booked through late 2026. Analysts expect this to significantly boost TSMC’s profitability, even with challenges such as global trade tensions, fluctuating exchange rates, and rising operational expenses.

The DigiTimes report reads, “Supply chain sources note that although some in the market once believed TSMC’s rivals—such as Samsung Electronics and Japan’s Rapidus—had the strength to grab orders, TSMC has not been affected and is continuing to advance its process roadmap as planned. The globally watched 2nm node will ramp up in Q4. According to TSMC’s plan, the Hsinchu Baoshan Fab 20 and Kaohsiung Fab 22, which both broke ground in 2022, will be key 2nm bases and will begin production in 2025.”

The report also highlights the competition for 2nm chips beyond Apple. Qualcomm is expected to be the second-largest customer, followed by AMD, MediaTek, Broadcom, and Intel. Looking further ahead, DigiTimes claims that by 2027, “in addition to NVIDIA, customers entering mass production will include Amazon’s Annapurna, Google, Marvell, Bitmain, and more than 10 other major players.”

Despite growing competition, Apple is expected to remain TSMC’s top customer for 2nm chips. The report notes that early adoption of 2nm technology is already outpacing what TSMC saw during the transitions to 3nm and 5nm generations.

LG Pushing Tandem OLED for Future iPhones

In other Apple news, it is being reported that the Cupertino giant may also bring major display upgrades alongside chip developments to its iPhones in the coming years. The latest iPad Pro models already feature Tandem OLED panels supplied primarily by LG Display. Now, LG is lobbying Apple to bring the same display technology to iPhones.

While Apple has not yet committed, reports suggest the company could introduce Tandem OLED screens in its 2028 iPhone lineup. If approved, LG could secure a stronger position against Samsung Display, Apple’s other key display supplier. LG currently holds 348 U.S. patents in the Tandem OLED domain.

The Tandem OLED panels have already been proven as a viable option for smartphones after Chinese smartphone company Honor featured the tech from BOE in its Magic6 PSR Porsche last year.

Tandem OLED works by stacking two OLED layers, which boosts brightness, extends display lifespan, and improves energy efficiency.

Interestingly, a previous report noted that Apple is considering a “simplified tandem” approach for iPhones, stacking only the blue subpixels, while keeping red and green subpixels on a single layer. This method offers a cost-effective solution to address blue subpixel degradation without significantly raising manufacturing costs.

FAQs

Q1. How much of TSMC’s 2nm chip supply has Apple secured?

Answer. Apple has secured nearly half of TSMC’s upcoming 2nm chip output, primarily for its next-generation A20 processor expected in the iPhone 18 series.

Q2. What is Tandem OLED and how might Apple use it?

Answer. Tandem OLED stacks two OLED layers to boost brightness, extend lifespan, and improve energy efficiency. Apple may adopt a simplified version in iPhones by 2028.

Q3. Why is TSMC’s 2nm production significant?

Answer. TSMC’s 2nm node is ramping up in Q4, with mass production planned for 2025. Despite high wafer costs ($30,000), demand is strong, led by Apple and other tech giants.

Spotify has officially launched a new in-app messaging feature that lets users share music, podcasts, and audiobooks while chatting with friends. The update is available for both free and premium users and aims to make content sharing more interactive and social.

The feature was announced in a blog post titled “Introducing Messages, A New Way To Share What You Love on Spotify with Friends and Family.” Spotify explained that the addition comes after consistent user demand for a dedicated space to share songs and playlists within the app itself. Currently, the feature is rolling out on mobile devices in select markets, limited to users aged 16 and above.

How Spotify In-App Messaging Works?

Spotify messaging supports one-on-one conversations only. Here’s how it works –

  • Users can send tracks, podcasts, or audiobooks directly from the Now Playing screen by tapping the share icon, selecting a friend, and hitting send.
  • Once a message request is accepted, both users can react with emojis, reply with text, and share content back and forth.

Spotify will also suggest contacts to message based on prior interactions, shared playlists, or whether users are on a Family or Duo plan. The Messages tab can be accessed by tapping on the profile photo in the top left corner of the app.

Suggested contacts are determined by whether you’ve previously shared Spotify content, joined Jams, Blends, or collaborative playlists, or if you share the same plan with someone.

That said, Spotify also encourages users to continue sharing content on platforms like Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, Snapchat, TikTok, and more. “As always, you should continue sharing Spotify content directly through your favorite platforms like Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, Snapchat, TikTok, and more. Messages on Spotify are designed to complement these integrations, not replace them, and we’re excited to continue offering more ways to drive hype for the Spotify content you love, wherever you are,” reads the Spotify post.

Privacy and Security Controls

Spotify says users will have full control over who they interact with. Message requests can be accepted or declined, and it’s possible to block contacts or opt out of the feature entirely via Settings. All messages are encrypted and monitored under Spotify’s Terms of Use and Platform Rules. Reported content will be reviewed, and proactive detection tools are in place to catch harmful or illegal activity.

Highlights

  • The Galaxy S26 Ultra is likely to retain its 5,000mAh battery, but may upgrade to 60W fast charging.
  • The device is expected to be under 8mm thick, making it slimmer than previous Ultra models.
  • Samsung may replace the floating lens layout with a unified camera island, enabling hardware upgrades to both sensors.

The rumours around the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra have been buzzing for months. Some leaks have previously suggested that the flagship model might finally get a bigger battery than Samsung’s usual 5,000mAh cell. However, the latest evidence indicates that Samsung may not be increasing the battery capacity after all. Here’s what we know so far.

Galaxy S26 Ultra – Hints About Possible Battery Specs

According to documentation spotted by SamMobile on China’s Quality Certification Centre, a battery with model number EB-BS948ABY has been listed with the standard 5,000mAh capacity. While the filing doesn’t explicitly confirm it belongs to the Galaxy S26 Ultra, the timing strongly suggests it.

This aligns with reports from some leakers who have insisted Samsung would stick with its tried-and-tested battery size rather than move to a larger 5,500mAh unit.

While the unchanged battery capacity might disappoint some fans, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is still expected to deliver an important upgrade. Several leaks point toward a bump in charging speeds from 45W to 60W, ending years of stagnation in this department. Notably, tipster Ice Universe has repeatedly dismissed rumours of a 5,500mAh cell, while confirming that Samsung is preparing faster charging for its Ultra model.

Keeping the 5,000mAh battery could also benefit the design. Reports suggest that the Galaxy S26 Ultra will measure under 8mm in thickness, making it slimmer compared to previous Ultra models. Meanwhile, Samsung is also expected to bring improved batteries to other models in the S26 lineup, with the Galaxy S26 Edge getting a 4,200mAh cell and the rumoured Galaxy S26 Pro equipped with a 4,300mAh battery.

Galaxy S26 Ultra Might Get New Camera Island Design

Meanwhile, design leaks suggest Samsung might revamp the camera module on the Galaxy S26 Ultra.

Samsung is reportedly considering an approach somewhat similar to what we have been hearing about Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 Pro’s camera island. Instead of the separate floating lenses seen since the Galaxy S22 Ultra, the S26 Ultra may reintroduce a unified camera island design. This change could allow for hardware improvements to both the main and telephoto sensors.

In short, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra may not deliver the bigger battery many were hoping for, it could offer faster charging, a slimmer build and major camera island upgrades, making it one of Samsung’s most refined Ultra flagships yet.

FAQs

Q1. Will the Galaxy S26 Ultra have a larger battery than its predecessor?

Answer. No, recent certification leaks suggest the Galaxy S26 Ultra will retain the 5,000mAh battery used in previous Ultra models. Rumours of a 5,500mAh upgrade have been dismissed by reliable sources.

Q2. Is Samsung improving charging speeds on the Galaxy S26 Ultra?

Answer. Yes, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to support 60W fast charging, up from the previous 45W limit. This marks a significant upgrade in Samsung’s charging tech.

Q3. Is Samsung changing the camera design on the Galaxy S26 Ultra?

Answer. Yes, the S26 Ultra may adopt a unified camera island design, moving away from the floating lens layout seen since the S22 Ultra. This could enable hardware improvements to key sensors.

Samsung’s popular Fan Edition (FE) series is set to get a new model addition soon in the form of the Galaxy S25 FE. But while we wait for more details, a fresh retail listing has revealed almost everything about the upcoming FE model. From specs to design details, the listing offers a near-complete look at Samsung’s upcoming affordable flagship. Here’s what we know.

Galaxy S25 FE Retail Listing Reveals Key Details

The Galaxy S25 FE recently appeared on a Portuguese retail site, though the listing was quickly taken down. According to the details, the smartphone will be powered by the Exynos 2400 chipset, the same processor used in last year’s Galaxy S24 and S24+. It will reportedly launch with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.

On the front, the phone features a 6.7-inch FHD+ OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and Gorilla Glass Victus+ protection. A 12MP selfie camera sits inside a punch-hole cutout. The rear camera system includes a 50MP main sensor, a 12MP ultra-wide lens, and an 8MP telephoto shooter. Powering it all is a 4,900mAh battery that supports 45W wired fast charging and 15W wireless charging.

The retail listing also confirms the in-box contents, which include only the smartphone, a USB-C to USB-C cable, and a SIM ejector pin, consistent with Samsung’s recent packaging approach.

In terms of design, the Galaxy S25 FE appears to be more refined than its predecessor. The device will reportedly have a slimmer 7.4mm frame and weigh just 190 grams, making it both lighter and thinner compared to last year’s 213g, 8mm-thick Galaxy S24 FE. The bezels are also narrower.

Samsung is expected to launch the phone in four colour options, which include black, icy blue, white, and graphite.

Galaxy S25 FE – Expected Price and Launch Timeline

MediaMarkt briefly showed a price tag of €789.99, which converts to roughly $920. However, this is likely a placeholder rather than the final retail price.

Samsung typically announces its Fan Edition smartphones in September, so the Galaxy S25 FE could be officially unveiled very soon.
