Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra Chipset Revealed

0

Update 14/06/2025: Tipster Abhishek Yadav has made a correction for his leak where he states that the chipset revealed is for the Galaxy Tab S11 and not the S11 Ultra. Rest of the information remains the same as before.

Original Story Below

The Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra chipset has been revealed ahead of the tablet’s launch later this year. According to a Geekbench listing, Samsung has chosen to opt for a MediaTek Dimensity chipset once again, similar to what was used in the Tab S10 series. Here’s everything to know about the new development.

The Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra chipset was revealed through a Geekbench listing (via) which bears model number SM-X736B and appears to use a MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ processor. The Tab S10 Ultra used a MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ chipset and the S11 Ultra seems to be using the chipset’s successor.

The Dimensity 9400+ was annnounced earlier this year and is the most powerful mobile chip by MediaTek till date. The Dimensity 9400+ features an All Big Core design, integrating one Arm Cortex-X925 core operating up to 3.73GHz, combined with 3x Cortex-X4 and 4x Cortex-A720 cores. This powerful configuration accelerates single and multithreaded performance for top-tier Android UX experiences.

Equipped with the MediaTek NPU 890, the Dimensity 9400+ supports a wide range of LLMs across many regions around the world. The Chipset supports Mixture-of-Experts (MoE), Multi-Head Latent Attention (MLA), Multi-Token Prediction (MTP), and FP8 inferencing with faster reasoning speeds.

The Dimensity 9400+ integrates a 12-core Arm Immortalis-G925 GPU, which enhances gaming visual experiences by bringing PC-level features to smartphones with opacity micromap (OMM) support for realistic effects. This makes video game elements—such as vegetation, hair or feathers—look more realistic and dimensional without impacting performance.

The Tab S10 series was announced in September last year so we can expect the company to debut the Tab S11 series around the same timeframe this year. The Tab S11 Ultra is also rumoured to pack a bigger battery than its predecessors.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 series renders have been leaked ahead of the watches’ launch which is likely to happen next month. The lineup is set to inlcude three models, including Watch 8, Watch 8 Classic, and the Watch Ultra 2025, and renders for all three models have surfaced online. Here’s everything to know about their design.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Series Renders Leaked

The leak comes from Android Headlines and according to the report, the Galaxy Watch 8 series renders show that the lineup will have a consistent design language across all three models. All three of the watches wil have a squircle dial, departing from the circular dial on the Galaxy Watch and Watch Classic models we have seen before.

While the dial is squircle, the display remains round on all three. The vanilla Watch 8 will simply have a flat display with a thin bezel around. The Watch 8 Classic gets a time-marker bezel as well as a rotating bezel that will make a comeback from the Watch 6 Classic.

The classic model this year also gains the new round quick button we saw on the Ultra model last year, which the 2025 Ultra model will also have. Aside from that, all three of them also have a couple of regular buttons as well. The design for the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2025 remains largely the same, except that it will be made available in new shades this time.

A report from last month suggests that the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic could arrive in a single 47mm size and could pack a 435mAh rated battery, which typically translates to a 450mAh typical capacity. Compared to the 47mm Watch 6 Classic, which had a 425mAh battery, this year’s model will have a marginally bigger cell, rated at 435mAh capacity.

Once you’ve chosen a preset prompt, Meta AI will edit your video to match the selected scenario. You can turn your video into a graphic novel, and see yourself reimagined as a vintage comic book illustration. Or change the lighting of a video you captured on a rainy Seattle day to create a dreamy mood with shimmery sparkles, pearlescent blur and soft focus. Or you can turn your video into a video game, complete with fluorescent lighting and battle clothing.

From Edits and the Meta AI app, you can share your edited videos directly to Facebook and Instagram. In the Meta AI and Meta.AI web, you can share your edited videos directly to the Discover feed.

“We built this feature so that everyone can experiment creatively and make fun, interesting videos to share with their friends, family and followers. Whether you’re reimagining a favorite family memory or finding new ways to entertain your audience, our video editing feature can help. We also think it can transform the way creators make content on our platforms, so we worked with creators to understand which prompts would appeal to their audiences, and because our video editing feature is built into the Edits app, it can become a seamless part of the creative process,” said Meta in its blog post.

The 14.53-inch screen marks the first application in automative of Neo QLED, a display technology that uses Quantum Dots and Mini-LED backlighting.
