Ciao Honor India. No one's gonna remember you 🙏

If you're wondering about Madhav Sheth who was heading Honor India after he quit as Realme India CEO and Realme Global VP, he will now serve as head of Alcatel India.

Alcatel smartphones are nothing new but just rebrands of TCL smartphones and they would even use TCL's NXTPaper display technology.

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE spotted on Geekbench with Exynos 2400 chip

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE will debut later this year and will be powered by Exynos 2400 SoC which used in Galaxy S24 series. Apart from Exynos 2400, Samsung also considered Exynos 2400e SoC (used in S24 FE) and latest Exynos 2500 & MediaTek Dimensity 9400 SoC for the S25 FE.

Geekbench 6 Results:
Single-core = 2064
Multi-core = 6900
RAM: 8GB
GPU = Xclipse 940
(vulkan: 1.3.279)

Galaxy Z Flip 7 instead would be powered by Exynos 2500 chip underclocked variant (due to yield issues) which has been manufactured by Samsung Foundry on its 3nm GAA architecture.

Galaxy Z Flip FE will also debut this year and it will also be powered by Exynos 2400 SoC.
Seems like Samsung had lots of stock of Exynos 2400 leftover.

The new expressive redesign is finally incoming with the new Android 16 QPR1 beta!

Most of the changes we have previously leaked are now officialized by Google. As spotted on Android 16 QPR1 Beta 1, the presence of this new "expressive design" is all over the system.

Here's a small re-cap of what's to be expected in the upcoming build:
• adding of blur all over the system, such as the app drawer (source) and the launcher overview (source);
• new status bar icons, similar to the ones from iOS (source);
• reworked recents view page with a newer (and cleaner) interface (source);
• clock personalization and wallpaper effects for customizing further your setup (source).
• the long awaited quick settings shown in photos, in contrast to the many experiments done with dual-shade...

...and many more! It seems like developers are really working hard on making Pixel phone's interface more customizable and enjoyable for the end-user, catching up with the latest trends introduced by the different skins present in today's phones market.

Are you happy with these finalized changes? Would you have preferred if Google took some more time and maybe rethought some of their design choices? Let us know below!

MediaTek Dimensity 7400 and 6400 Specs

MediaTek recently launched Dimensity 7400 SoC alongside 7400X for foldables. Nothing new is there as this chipset is just 100MHz overclocked Dimensity 7300.

Dimensity 7400 CPU:
• 4x Cortex-A78 @ 2.6GHz
• 4x Cortex-A55 @ 2GHz
Meanwhile Dimensity 7300 CPU is clocked at 2.5GHz. Both of them has the same Mali -G615 MC2 GPU alongside LPDDR5 RAM with UFS 3.1 support and are made by TSMC on its 4nm mode

Btw, Dimensity 7350 CPU:
• 2x Cortex-A715 @ 3GHz
• 6x Cortex-A510
GPU: Mali-G610 MC4

Thus, Dimensity 7350 > D7200 > D7400 > D7300 > D7050 = D1080
(Yes, totally not confusing)

Dimensity 6400 CPU:
• 2x Cortex-A76 @ 2.5GHz
• 6x Cortex-A55 @ 2GHz

It is 100Mhz overclocked version of Dimensity 6300 that's clocked at 2.4GHz. Both of them shares the same Mali -G57 MC2 GPU alongside LPDDR4X RAM with UFS 2.2 support and are made by TSMC on its 6nm mode

Direct Proof that Mishaal and Kamila Leveraged Security Loophole for Android Leaks

In the chat conversation, Mishaal admitted that he was running dogfood builds on his Pixel 8 Pro. To exploit the vulnerability, he used a tool which even allowed him to set his serial number & thus get access to internal builds.

Later, Mishaal admits he knows "someone" who also found this loophole and it would be a "shame" if Google closes it likely because this is the only way he "exclusively" leaks about upcoming Google Pixel or Android features.

He was worried that Google might investigate & find out he had early access to Pixel 10 firmware alongside Kamila. Kamila and their "friend" even sent dogfood build screenshots in Pebble's discord server likely to "flex" as Pebble is owned by Google.

Mishaal also enlightened another person how to leak information safely. He acknowledged that he knows someone with access to the partner repos despite actually running dogfood. At the end when someone would ask about the source, Mishaal mentions that HE WILL DENY using a "Loophole" for getting information by saying that their sources are someone form google, in short: Plausible deniability.

BREAKING: Xiaomi's self-developed SoC's Teased

Xiaomi has teased their upcoming self-developed SoC built for smartphones, tablets and watches etc., thus eventually trying to possibly ditch Snapdragon and MediaTek in the future.

Unlike Google which completely ditched Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC, Xiaomi don't really have the balls to that globally due to contracts and thus these chipsets will remain exclusive to China only and so would be the product.

The processor is named as Xiaomi Xuanjie O1, made by TSMC on its 2nd Gen N3E 3nm process and contains 19 billion transistors. It will power flagship Xiaomi 15S Pro smartphone and Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra tablet that will debut on 22nd May in China.

CPU:
2x Cortex-X925 @ 3.9GHz
4x Cortex-A725 or X4 @ 3.4GHz
2x Cortex-A720/A725 @ 1.89GHz
2x Cortex-A520 @ 1.8GHz
Thus, a 10-core SoC with 2+4+2+2 config

Geekbench 6 scores:
Single-core: 3119
Multi-core: 9673

GPU: Mali G-925 Immortalis with 16CU
Clocked at 1795MHz or 1.795GHz
OpenCL Score: 22141

WearOS 6 To Feature Material 3 Expressive Design

There’s a heavy emphasis on animations, like “smooth transitions with shape-morphing elements that adapt to the smaller screen size.” When scrolling, animations “trace the curvature of the display,” while “lists animate to give you a sense of depth that makes information more accessible.” There'll be “motion and responsive feedback” in the PIN pad alongside while controlling the media and Wear OS Tiles will get a big update that adds density to fit much more information and multiple actions.

We’re bringing dynamic color-theming to the watch so that the theme you choose for your watch face applies to the entire system

WearOS 6 will deliver up to 10% more battery life!

Google is also bringing Gemini on your wrist in "coming months" & it will have access to apps/Extensions.

Let’s say you’re at the locker room in the gym, and you’ve already put your phone away. You can use Gemini to set reminders, like “Remember I’m using locker 43 today."

Introducing Material 3 Expressive Design

Google announced Material 3 Expressive, built upon Material You for Android 16, that is coming later this year, starting on Pixel.

Unlike BBK and Xiaomi which just blatantly copies iOS, Google notes that Material 3 Expressive was born out of research.

Over the past 3 years, through 46 separate research studies with hundreds of designs, and more than 18,000 participants from around the world, we’ve fine tuned a system that’s both beautiful and highly usable.

Background blur in the QS, Notifications panel & Recents adds a sense of depth & preserves context when navigating your device. When dismissing a notification, you’ll feel a “satisfying haptic rumble,” while other alerts next to it will “subtly respond to your drag.”

The updated design language includes new responsive components, “emphasized” typography, and “updated dynamic color themes.” The all-new Live Updates feature helps you easily track progress notifications from select apps.

Buy your GPUs before geo-tracking tech is forced

Senator Tom Cotton has introduced the Chip Security Act to prevent advanced U.S. chips from reaching adversaries like China. This includes high-end graphics cards (RTX 4090, RTX 5090) and AI chips.

The bill mandates location tracking technology on export-controlled chips within 6 months of enactment, allowing U.S. to verify their location. Companies must report diversions or tampering.

The Secretary of Commerce will verify chip locations and maintain a registry of current locations and end-users. A U.S. congressman also wants chips to not boot without proper export licenses.

Controlling the Leak: Journalism or Just Business?
Source

Two months ago, a Pixel 9 Pro running an internal dogfood build was leaked on TikTok, showing early Android 16 features like the new UI, ambient AOD walls etc. Since it was so early, many (inc. me) doubted it but journalist Mishaal Rahman didn’t comment when people asked him. He knew it is 100% real but chose not to confirm or deny because then "everyone would spread the leak" which would affect his exclusive coverage. Basically it was "all part of the strategy".

Mishaal later said he’d post about most of those features shown in the leak once Beta 3 dropped, but carefully, since they require the "Flag Flipper" app that is present in dogfood builds only.

You don't want to reveal how you enabled these features, ie. Flag Flipper on a dogfood build

In his recent article about Android 16 Big UI Overhaul, he claimed that the new UI features were “hidden in Beta 4”, which in reality they aren’t because these features are only present in internal builds. Many people run Beta builds on their Google Pixel, but you will never see anyone having those new "hidden" UI features except Mishaal Rahman.

Mishaal was also worried about someone revealing a "bunch of internal Google apps," saying Google might investigate and once they figure out "how," they'll close the "loophole," which will make it "much harder to get these builds", thus be lowkey.

If you're wondering why Mishaal is silent on these allegations — it's because he is deleting any messages about these posts in his chats. The chat admins are even banning users for sharing these posts.

BREAKING: Journalists Mishaal Rahman and Kamila exploited a security flaw to leak internal Google Pixel and Android details

Two well-known Android Authority journalists, Kamila Wojciechowska and Mishaal Rahman, are being accused of exploiting a vulnerability to get unauthorized access to dogfood builds (internal Google builds). This access reportedly allowed them to leak unreleased information about upcoming Pixel hardware and Android software features.

Instead of reporting the security flaw to Google, the two allegedly used it to publish "exclusive" stories and leaks based on confidential and unofficial builds. They gave the impression that Google supported their reporting, while hiding the fact that it was based on a serious vulnerability.

This raises serious concerns about how tech outlets get their information, as they are now crossing ethical lines to leak it.
