    Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Series Spotted on One UI Server

    Samsung is gearing up to introduce the Galaxy Tab S10 series soon! While the exact launch date remains uncertain, it is anticipated that the Tab S10 series will be unveiled in 2025. Initial rumors indicated that the Galaxy Tab S10 Plus would be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9300 chipset. Recently, the Tab S10 series surfaced on Samsung’s OTA server, confirming that One UI testing is currently underway.

    Galaxy Tab S10 Plus & Tab S10 Ultra

    The team at Android Headlines discovered the Galaxy Tab S10 Plus and Tab S10 Ultra on Samsung’s OTA server. The Galaxy Tab S10 Plus carries the model number SM-X828x, while the Tab S10 Ultra is listed as SM-X926x. The “x” at the end of the model number denotes the region code.

    The Galaxy Tab S10 Plus appeared on Samsung’s OTA server with the build number (X828USQUAXF5/X828UOYNOAXF5/X828USQUOAXF5). Meanwhile, the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra was first seen with the build number (X926BXXUOAXE6/X926BOXMOAXE6/X926BXXUOAXE6). These build numbers confirm the model numbers as SM-X926B and SM-X828U. The “U” signifies the US variant, while the “B” indicates a global release.

    Tab S10 Ultra: Chinese and Korean Variants

    Additionally, the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra’s model numbers SM-X926C and SM-X926N were found, confirming the device’s availability in China and Korea. It is noteworthy that there is no One UI build for the regular Galaxy Tab S10 yet, likely due to the series’ expected release in 2025. We predict that the Galaxy Tab S10 series will launch alongside the Galaxy S25 series in Q1 2025.

  • Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Plus Confirmed to Use MediaTek Chipset

    Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Plus Confirmed to Use MediaTek Chipset

    Samsung's forthcoming Galaxy S24 FE smartphone wasn't the only device from the tech giant to surface on Geekbench today. The upcoming Galaxy Tab S10 Plus has also made an appearance on the benchmarking site.

    Identified by the model number SM-X828U, the tablet's IMEI database entry confirms it as the Tab S10 Plus. The "U" suffix signifies that it's a US variant, while other versions such as SM-X826B and SM-X826N correspond to the Global and South Korean markets, respectively.

    Switch to MediaTek Processor

    Interestingly, the tablet was listed with the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ processor on Geekbench. Traditionally, Samsung has preferred Qualcomm's high-end chipsets for its Tab S series. However, for the Galaxy Tab S10 series, the company appears to be shifting to MediaTek.

    The Dimensity 9300+ is an octa-core chipset featuring a powerful configuration: one Cortex-X4 core clocked at 3.25GHz, three Cortex-X4 cores running at 2.85GHz, and four Cortex-A720 cores at 2.0GHz. Graphics are likely managed by a Mali-G720 Immortalis MP12 GPU.

    Benchmark Scores and Specifications

    This setup resulted in the tablet scoring 2,141 points in single-core tests and 6,952 points in multi-core tests on Geekbench. The device also boasts 12GB of RAM and will come with Android 14 pre-installed.

    While the switch to MediaTek is notable, a report from last month suggested that Samsung might employ a dual-chip strategy for its tablets, similar to its Galaxy S series phones. However, the expectation was that the chips would be Qualcomm and Exynos, not MediaTek.

    Given the tablet's appearance with the Dimensity 9300+, it could indicate that the earlier report was either incorrect or that MediaTek may be replacing one of the other chip brands.

    At this point, details about the Galaxy Tab S10 Plus are limited. It is expected to be accompanied by the Tab S10 Ultra and likely a standard Galaxy Tab S10.

  • MediaTek Overtakes Apple & Qualcomm as Top Smartphone Chipset Vendor 2023

    MediaTek Overtakes Apple & Qualcomm as Top Smartphone Chipset Vendor 2023

    Chipmaker MediaTek has been recognized as the leading System on Chip (SoC) vendor by the close of 2023. Known for developing the fastest smartphone processor currently available, MediaTek’s Dimensity 9300 and other chipsets have secured a significant share in the smartphone market.

    MediaTek’s Dominance in the SoC Market

    A recent report from Canalys sheds light on MediaTek’s ascent as the preferred SoC vendor in 2023. In the fourth quarter of the year, MediaTek sold 117 million units of chipsets, surpassing Apple’s 78 million and Qualcomm’s 69 million units. Noteworthy competitors in the smartphone SoC sector include Google, Samsung, and Unisoc. MediaTek’s smartphone shipments for the year exhibited a 21% year-on-year increase, amounting to $23 billion in revenue. Despite this, Apple’s revenue from shipments reached $87 billion, overshadowing MediaTek. Qualcomm also surpassed MediaTek with shipments valued at $30 billion in 2023.

    Market Dynamics and Competitors

    The Canalys report reveals a 2% decline in Qualcomm’s SoC shipment revenue from the previous year. Samsung experienced a significant 44% decrease in earnings from its Exynos chips, suggesting potential for improvement with chips from other providers in Q4 2023. This decline accounted for approximately 40% of Qualcomm’s returns and 25% of MediaTek’s figures for the quarter. Notably, Xiaomi emerged as a key buyer of Qualcomm chipsets, representing 25% of purchases. While Xiaomi also contributed about 20% of MediaTek chipsets shipped in Q4 2023, Samsung stood out as the primary customer for the vendor.

    Emerging Players and Growth Prospects

    Huawei made a substantial impact in the market in 2023 as per the Canalys report. With a remarkable 5,121% surge, the Chinese OEM shipped 7 million units and generated $7 billion in revenue, largely fueled by its new Kirin SoCs. Unisoc also demonstrated strong potential for growth, with a 24% increase in revenues year-on-year totaling $3 billion, alongside 27 million units shipped. The primary clientele of Unisoc included brands like Transsion, Realme, and Lenovo. In contrast, Google’s performance in SoC shipments was lackluster with estimated revenues of $2 billion and 3 million units sold, possibly due to the exclusive nature of its Tensor chipsets designed solely for Pixel phones.

  • Infinix Unveils Coolmax Prototype Cooling Tech for Gaming Phones

    Infinix Unveils Coolmax Prototype Cooling Tech for Gaming Phones

    With gaming phones slowly becoming more mainstream day by day, Infinix is introducing its prototype cooling technology called CoolMax, designed to maintain optimal temperatures for gaming phones even during intense usage.

    CoolMax reduced the chipset’s temperature by a significant 10 degrees Celsius

    Impressive Cooling Performance

    Integrated into a concept gaming device, CoolMax has demonstrated remarkable results by reducing the chipset’s temperature by a noteworthy 10°C. This innovative internal system combines a thermo-electric cooler with a fan positioned directly over the chipset, separated only by thermal paste. This setup effectively eliminates the inefficiencies associated with external coolers.

    Powerful Performance Features

    At the core of this prototype lies MediaTek’s Dimensity 9300 processor, equipped with four robust Cortex-X4 cores. This configuration has propelled the device to achieve a groundbreaking AnTuTu benchmark score exceeding 2.2 million. The device’s performance is further optimized by an AI platform that intelligently allocates tasks across the CPU cores, ensuring peak efficiency. It is essential to note that these numbers are based on benchmarking and not real-world usage scenarios.

    Unlike conventional gaming phones that rely solely on air cooling mechanisms, CoolMax introduces a cooler module utilizing the Peltier effect to achieve temperatures beyond the reach of standard air circulation methods. This advancement allows gamers to experience enhanced performance without the risk of overheating.

    Cutting-Edge Display Technology

    In addition to its revolutionary cooling system, the concept phone boasts a Pixelworks visual processor that collaborates with the GPU, promising exceptional display refresh rates of up to 180Hz for FHD+ resolutions and 144Hz for QHD+ resolutions. This sets a new benchmark for gaming displays in the industry. Although Infinix has plans to launch a gaming phone later in 2024, specific details regarding the device are still undisclosed. However, the potential displayed in this concept device has raised anticipation for what Infinix has in store for gaming enthusiasts.
