Samsung unveiled the Galaxy A16 5G a couple of weeks ago, but there was no mention of a 4G version – well, that’s now official too, as Samsung France posted a press release that calls the Galaxy A16 and Galaxy A16 5G “smartphones that stand the test of time”. This is because both models will be supported for 6 years – this includes OS updates as well as security patches. The Samsung Galaxy A16 (4G) is nearly identical to its 5G sibling – it has a 6.7” FHD+ OLED display running at 90Hz, a 5,000mAh battery with 25W charging, a 50+5+2MP rear and 13MP front cameras, all packed into a slimmer...

Apple released the 7th generation of iPad mini, which was introduced with an A17 Pro chipset, also seen on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. However, the official website states something different - the tablet has only a 5-core GPU, which seems like a downgraded version of the A17 Pro. Chipsets like these are often called binned because they do not pass the same quality control process during manufacturing. It is highly possible that the version with a 6-core CPU and 5-core GPU was not powerful enough for the iPhones, but there was a big enough batch to equip the new...

Today a prototype A36 has performed quite a few Geekbench runs, and this has revealed the fact that Samsung is testing the device with Android 15 on board. That's a version that Google launched for its Pixels yesterday but which Samsung is only expected to release next year with the arrival of the Galaxy S25 family in January. This probably means that the Galaxy A36 will only land after that, if it is to run Android 15 from day one, which is what the fact it's...
