Samsung did not follow a consistent launch schedule for its previous-generation Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra and Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra, so it was uncertain when the company would unveil the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra. Now, the latest rumor claims that the Korean giant is facing development problems with its top-end slate, but there is a surprise for all those waiting for the Galaxy S25 series next year. The premium tablet is said to launch alongside Samsung’s premier smartphone lineup in early 2025.
Samsung could be mulling which chipset to use for the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra, but this problem is not specified in the rumor
It is unclear if the less expensive Galaxy Tab S10 and Galaxy Tab S10 Plus would launch next to the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra, but an X account with the handle ‘kro’ states that Samsung’s largest and most expensive slate will launch with the Galaxy S25 series next year. The last time the company introduced its flagship smartphone and tablet range was in 2022 when the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra family were officially announced. Samsung could be eyeing a similar launch strategy, but the rumor does not dive into the development problems faced with the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra.
With Qualcomm officially taking the wraps off its Snapdragon X Elite and Snapdragon X Plus, Samsung could face another conundrum as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is expected in October. Also, the Korean firm is said to adopt a dual-chipset approach with its Galaxy S25 family, as specific models will feature the Exynos 2500. A previous rumor claimed that the Exynos 2500 is being developed in two versions; one with an octa-core CPU cluster and one with a 10-core one.
The variant with the higher core count could be tailor-made for bigger devices such as tablets, and like the previous Galaxy Tab Ultra models, we expect the same humongous 14.6-inch display. With a footprint like this, the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra features the size and the cooling capabilities to accommodate the Snapdragon X Elite, Snapdragon X Plus, Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, and the Exynos 2500. Unfortunately, Samsung could be torn on which SoC to use in its upcoming tablet. By using the Exynos 2500, Samsung will potentially save on component costs and avoid paying the Qualcomm premium.
However, this route will mean that the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra could leave a ton of performance on the table and lose to Apple’s upcoming iPad Pro lineup, which is said to feature the M3. Then again, if Samsung uses any of Qualcomm’s chipsets, not only does Samsung have to pay extra, but this decision will not be financially viable because the company hardly has a commanding presence in the global tablet market. In any case, Samsung has a tough road ahead of it, and when we learn more about the progress made

One of my favorite copypastas on the internet comes from someone complaining about a player using mods to make a FromSoftware game easier. “You cheated not only the game, but yourself,” it reads. “You didn’t grow. You didn’t improve. You took a shortcut and gained nothing. You experienced a hollow victory. Nothing was risked and nothing was gained. It’s sad that you don’t know the difference.”
The M4 is expected to be announced later today during Apple’s ‘Let Loose’ event, and with the company already employing the use of TSMC’s 3nm technology before, we immediately assumed that the new silicon would be fabricated on this lithography. However, one report states that unlike the M3 powering various Macs and mass produced on the ‘N3B’ architecture, Apple’s M4 will switch to the updated ‘N3E’ process, resulting in various improvements. The report also mentions that the upcoming SoC will arrive in three variants, which is nothing unusual regarding Apple Silicon releases.
Samsung has commenced the rollout of its highly anticipated One UI 6.1 update to its flagship Galaxy smartphones from 2021 and 2022 in South Korea. This update, based on Android 14, introduces numerous enhancements and AI features to the Galaxy S22 series, Galaxy S21 series, and previous models of Galaxy foldable phones.
Diablo Immortal is offering up some new mayhem in its next season, Treacherous Reflection. The update will add a new limited-time event, event updates, a new Tower War season, and the Season 26 Battle Pass.
The Galaxy S24 lineup was introduced with Samsung’s first AI-powered software suite called Galaxy AI. Given that the new models accounted for 53 percent of the Korean giant’s Q1 2024 operating profit, many would conclude that these features would be one reason for their popularity. Unfortunately, based on a separate rumor, the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra will disappoint in the battery department, as it sticks with the same 5,000mAh battery as previous-generation models. However, Samsung intends to raise that backup by up to 10 percent with something called ‘Battery AI.’
Intel's Arrow Lake CPUs such as the flagship Core Ultra 9 285K are rumored to feature a clock speed of up to 5.5 GHz, far less than the existing Raptor Lake CPUs which can clock up to 6.20 GHz.
A recent leak about the upcoming RDNA 4 architecture suggests that AMD is working on a ray tracing hardware acceleration that promises to make the feature look «brand new.» Although this is solely a rumor, if proven true, it could hold significant importance for AMD users in the future.
A recent report from a reputable Xbox insider suggests that one of 2023's biggest Soulslikes, Lords of the Fallen, could be coming to Xbox Game Pass in the near future. If true, the addition of this relatively new AAA game to the popular subscription service would mark yet another major inclusion to Xbox Game Pass, which has received consistent, quality content in recent months.
Fallout 5 won't start development until after The Elder Scrolls 6 launches, so we're a long way off from the next numbered game in the series, but the Amazon show has ignited a newfound hype in the franchise. So, the question is whether a third party will develop a spin-off akin to Obsidian's New Vegas in the meantime.
Samsung has maintained the same 5,000mAh battery capacity and fast-charging speeds for various flagship generations falling under the Galaxy S Ultra lineup. Sadly, based on one rumor, the company will repeat history with the Galaxy S25 Ultra launch next year. This means that Samsung has to develop creative ideas to deliver a higher runtime than the previous models.
