Qualcomm is set to launch its next flagship chip on September 22, tentatively called the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.
Most of its details have already surfaced through earlier leaks, and now a new one is filling in the performance picture. According to tipster Digital Chat Station, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 scores between 4.20 and 4.40 million points on AnTuTu v11.
That would make it the highest number we’ve seen for any mobile processor so far on the benchmark.
Read on to find out more.
 Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series is still months away, but the first leaks are already sparking debate among fans. While most expect charging speeds to improve, a new report claims the Galaxy S26 Pro and Galaxy S26 Edge will stick with the same limitations as their predecessors. The information comes from Ice Universe, a tipster with a solid track record, who posted on X that both the S26 Pro and Edge will once again be limited to 25 W wired charging. |  Nothing has officially teased the arrival of its next major OS upgrade, Nothing OS 4.0. The new software is based on Android 16 and promises to bring major changes to Nothing phones. While the brand hasn’t announced a release date, it says the new OS is “coming soon.” The arrival of Nothing OS 4.0 was teased in a post on X, which also states that this upgrade is “Refined” and “Redefined.” This could mean improvements across the system and several major upgrades. |
 AI chatbots have made their way into classrooms, offices, and everyday life—but they still suffer from a frustrating flaw: sometimes they simply make things up. These so-called “hallucinations” can look convincing but turn out to be completely wrong. OpenAI says it has finally figured out why this happens, and the company believes it has a fix that could make future AI tools far more trustworthy. OpenAI recently published a 36-page paper co-authored with Georgia Tech’s Santosh Vempala and others. |  The Pixel 10 series has only been on the market for a couple of weeks, but some early buyers quickly ran into an unexpected issue: strange colored stripes appearing on their displays. Not long after it went on sale, reports surfaced of screens briefly showing red, green, or white stripes. Google has now pushed out a software update that it says addresses the problem, though questions remain about how widespread the fix really is. |
