A new Dimensity 8400 processor has been announced by MediaTek for smartphones. It uses an all-Big Core design similar to that of the Dimensity 9400. In addition to boosting performance by 41%, the new chipset also supports Generative AI.

The Dimensity 8400 replaces the Dimensity 8300. It uses the same design as Dimensity 9400, which is a flagship-grade chip. With eight Cortex-A725 cores, it has an octa-core configuration. Its maximum clock speed is 3.25GHz.

Dimensity 8400 offers 41% better multi-core performance and 44% lower power consumption than its predecessor. In addition to maintaining peak performance in extended usage, the chipset has been tuned for maximum efficiency.

It has a Mali-G720 GPU. The new GPU is 24% faster and 42% more power-efficient. This phone supports MediaTek Frame Rate Converter (MFRC) and MediaTek Adaptive Gaming Technology (MAGT) 3.0, which optimizes gameplay for higher frame rates.

Samsung’s upcoming budget 5G Galaxy M16 5G press renders leaked online.

December 24, 2024

Samsung launched the Galaxy M15 earlier this year as the latest member of its affordable mid-range smartphone lineup with large batteries. An new leak reveals the first detailed renders of the South Korean giant’s upcoming successor. Here is a look at all three colourways of Samsung’s Galaxy M16 5G, leaving nothing to the imagination.

There are sharper border lines on the flat sides of the Galaxy M16 5G compared to its predecessor. Samsung has already incorporated a flat frame on the Galaxy M15, but the edges still have a slight curve, which gives it an “outdated” look. The next-gen Samsung phone will ditch this design in favour of something more similar to Samsung’s newest flagship and mid-range devices.

The company has chosen to take a less minimalist approach to its camera module design. There will be three rear camera sensors arranged vertically, surrounded by an “island” on the Galaxy M16 5G. Samsung is bringing a new design language to its upcoming affordable phones, but is this the beginning of something new? We’ll have to wait and see.

On the left side of the Galaxy M16 5G, there is a SIM card slot, while on the right are power and volume buttons, as well as a fingerprint reader. The fact that Samsung continues to use side-mounted fingerprint readers on AMOLED phones is interesting.

Samsung will also retain the Infinity-U notch for the front camera sensor, something that was dropped on the Galaxy A16.

Nothing Phone (3a), Phone (3a) Plus and CMF Phone 2 key specs leaked online.

December 24, 2024

The unique focus on style without compromising substance has made Nothing some well-deserved hype in the smartphone space. The Nothing Phone 3 looks great, and we’re eager to see what it will bring to the table in the future. Before we get to the top, we’ve spotted the specs of the company’s budget offerings, which are likely to be the Nothing Phone 3a, Phone 3a Plus, and CMF Phone 2.

Recent Nothing OS 3.0 builds based on Android 15 revealed certain specifications and other details about upcoming Nothing devices. The codenames asteroids, asteroids_plus, and galaga may be related to upcoming Nothing phones. This codename is said to be for the Nothing Phone 3a (asteroids), Nothing Phone 3a Plus (asteroids_plus), and the CMF Phone 2 (galaga).

The CMF Phone 2 will run a MediaTek SoC, while the Nothing Phone 3a and Phone 3a Plus will utilize the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 SoC.

Further clues suggest the Phone 3a could have a telephoto camera, while the Phone 3a Plus could have a periscope zoom camera. Accordingly, the Phone 3a series could be the first in the Nothing lineup to come with optical zoom sensors instead of wide and ultrawide rear cameras.

Interestingly, the Nothing Phone 3a and Phone 3a Plus may be the company’s first phones to support eSIM. Users can likely use two nano-SIMs or one eSIM with an eSIM for dual-SIM configurations. CMF Phone 2, however, will likely stick to physical SIMs only.

Here is when Samsung Galaxy S25 series going on sale, will arrive with this chipset globally.

December 24, 2024

The Galaxy S25 smartphone lineup is expected to be announced at Samsung’s next Galaxy Unpacked event on January 22. There’s new info about when Samsung’s next-gen flagships will be available.

On January 17, Samsung announced the Galaxy S24 at an Unpacked event, and pre-orders opened ahead of its release on January 31. Given that the official announcement is expected to occur later in 2025, it is only natural that availability would also be delayed accordingly. According to South Korea’s Financial News, Samsung plans to release the Galaxy S25 on February 7, at least in its home country. It doesn’t mention other markets directly, but international availability should be similar.

Samsung may showcase the rumoured Galaxy S25 Slim at the launch event, even though sales for this model may be some time away.

ETNews reports that the entire Galaxy S25 series will be powered by Snapdragon hardware. Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Plus were initially intended to use Exynos 2500 in most regions. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S25 Ultra was already going to use the Snapdragon 8 Elite. Samsung has followed this strategy for its “Galaxy Ultra” mobile devices in recent years.

Realme started teasing the new Realme Neo 7 SE to be powered by this new chipset.

MediaTek announced its latest chipset powerhouse, the Dimensity 8400, this morning. On its Weibo account, Realme teased an upcoming smartphone launch shortly after. A teaser shared by Realme showcases the new Dimensity 8400 SoC’s design schematic.
