Clearly, this isn’t going down well with Qualcomm as evidenced by a tweet posted by the company. The tweet reads (via) – “We’ve decided to make our own smartphone SoC instead of using Snapdragon,” followed by a series of red flags. Red flags are a relatively new phenomenon on the internet. Users make a statement or comment with sarcastic overtones as a critique of something. To make it apparent, they add a bunch of red flag emojis to the message....

The purported Snapdragon 898 has appeared on Geekbench on an unnamed Vivo phone with the model number V2102A. The device appears to be a prototype as the model number doesn’t match any existing device from the Chinese company. Also, it has its CPU cores clocked at much slower speeds than what we are expecting. The upcoming Qualcomm flagship processor is apparently codenamed “Taro” and it features a triple cluster CPU core arrangement....

While past versions of the lineup from 2021 had more improvements and updates, 2022 promises to be a slightly smaller refresh in terms of upgraded components and features. Though don’t let that fool you. These newer models will likely still offer the best experience in terms performance and functionality. They’ll of course come at a higher premium too. Not just because they come with better and more powerful components. But also because the components themselves are still in short supply....

According to research firm Counterpoint Research, global smartphone shipments dropped eight percent year-on-year (YoY) in April 2022. The firm attributed the decline to COVID-19 lockdowns in China and the global inflation crisis due to the Russia-Ukraine war. The market reached its lowest level since the coronavirus pandemic struck in 2020. However, Samsung wasn’t impeded by any of this. The Korean behemoth registered a nine percent YoY growth during the same period....

Samsung notes in the changelog for the Galaxy Buds+ and Galaxy Buds Live that this feature will only work when the buds are connected to smartphones running Android 7.0 Nougat and higher. The changelog for the Galaxy Buds Pro doesn’t mention anything as such. Additionally, the company is promising stability and performance improvements for all three models. It’s a generic pointer in the changelog for every software update for Samsung’s wearables though....

Han reiterated the company’s earlier statement saying that the Game Optimization Service (GOS), which is the main culprit behind this controversy, is designed to optimize the gaming performance of Galaxy smartphones. However, where the company missed the trick is that it forced those so-called optimizations in the name of battery efficiency and thermal management, effectively throttling the performance of apps. There was no way to turn it off. As such, consumers couldn’t explore the full potential of their otherwise highly-capable devices....

Williamson County has been the frontrunner in this race. Officials from the county have offered an extensive incentives package to Samsung, including a rebate of up to 90 percent of property taxes. It appears the company couldn’t turn down this offer. One of the sources told Reuters that Samsung could select a site in the Austin suburb of Williamson County. The company already has a chip plant in Austin. So this could have influenced its decision, though the report suggests it’s the subsidies on offer....

The Galaxy Watch 4 series was already very good. The Galaxy Watch 5 simply refines what was good about it. And that in itself is a good thing. That doesn’t mean there aren’t some drawbacks. Samsung’s latest and greatest is by no means perfect. And while I do think this is the best smartwatch for your money, (even over Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 5 Pro), some areas could have been improved a little more....

According to the new report, the new processor bears the model number S5P9865 and is codenamed “Zuma”. Samsung is testing it on a developer board with the code name “Ripcurrent”. The latter suggests it isn’t the Tensor 2 chipset that will power the Pixel 7 series. The Tensor 2 is developed on a board codenamed “Cloudripper”. This points to the Zuma being the third-gen Tensor processor from Samsung, possibly for the Pixel 8 series next year....
