Samsung Galaxy S26 series, which is widely believed to debut globally next year, could include the Galaxy S26 Pro, Galaxy S26 Edge, and Galaxy S26 Ultra. The Galaxy S26 Pro is said to replace the standard model next year. Specifications of the handset have been surfacing online for a while. Now, a report suggests that the smartphone could be powered by Samsung’s Exynos 2600 SoC in select regions. The rumoured 2nm chipset is said to have entered mass production earlier than expected, too. On top of this, the camera specifications of the lineup have also leaked.Samsung Galaxy S26 Series Chipset, Cameras (Expected)The Bell reports (translated from Korean) that Samsung’s next-generation chipset, dubbed Exynos 2600, has entered the mass production phase. The rumoured chipset will reportedly arrive on the standard Galaxy S26 model, which is believed to be the Galaxy S26 Pro. It is said to be the first chipset to be built on a 2nm process. The report added that Exynos 2600 has entered mass production earlier than expected, and could move into the next production phase in late-October or early-November.Samsung’s rumoured Exynos 2600 SoC is said to offer 12 percent enhanced performance and 25 percent improvement in terms of efficiency over the Exynos 2500 chip because of the 2nm process. The South Korean and European models of the Galaxy S26 Pro could be powered by the above-mentioned chipset, while in other regions, it might feature the recently launched Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip.Moreover, the South Korean tech giant could be examining the performance stability of the fabrication process itself, which might be the reason behind the chip entering mass production earlier than anticipated, as per the publication.On top of this, in a post on X (formerly Twitter), independent tech commentator Jason C. (@_TheJasonC) has shared the camera specifications of the entire Samsung Galaxy S26 lineup. The Galaxy S26 Pro might carry a triple-rear camera unit with a 50-megapixel main shooter, a 12-megapixel ultrawide-angle lens, and a 10-megapixel telephoto sensor with 3x optical zoom capabilities.On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge could feature a dual-rear camera unit, the same as its predecessor. The handset might be equipped with a 200-megapixel primary camera and a 50-megapixel ultrawide lens.Next year’s Samsung flagship, the purported Galaxy S26 Ultra, might feature a 200-megapixel ISOCELL HP2 main camera on the back, paired with a 50-megapixel ultrawide-angle lens, a 50-megapixel telephoto sensor with 5x optical zoom, and a 10-megapixel lens with 3x optical zoom. The South Korean tech giant is said to “rely more” on software processing and “AI capabilities” to offer improved camera performance.This comes shortly after the computer-aided design (CAD) render of the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra leaked online. The rumoured flagship handset appeared in a black colourway, along with a flat display and a hole-punch cutout, which might house the selfie camera. Although the design of the handset is shown to be similar, it might get a redesigned rear camera module, where three lenses might be placed inside a pill-shaped camera island.

3 ways I make NotebookLM my personal sidekick
NotebookLM is marketed as a research and notes companion, but honestly, I don’t quite use it the way Google had intended. The “official” pitch is that you upload documents, and it helps you pull insights and keep track of sources. This is undoubtedly useful for things like academic work, but it can also get boring if that’s all you use it for. Source: xda-developers.com … [Read More...]
I didn't know the Obsidian Reminder plugin existed, but it's exactly what I needed
I run my entire life out of my Obsidian vault, but until now, something has been missing. I've tried multiple to-do apps, but none of those really checked all the boxes — and then I stumbled across the Obsidian Reminder plugin. This small, simple plugin has become an essential part of my workflow. I already struggle to remember things — if it isn't written down, it doesn't exist — but with a … [Read More...]
Opera is bringing a huge wave of free AI tools to its browsers
A few days ago, Opera broke the news that my favorite AI browser was getting a general release.

4 cheap PC parts I’ll never buy again
Building a PC is an exciting rite of passage for any tech enthusiast. There's an overwhelming breadth of options available at every budget. However, this low barrier to entry is a double-edged sword. It’s incredibly tempting for a novice or first-time PC builder to look at a compatibility list and pair an upper-mid tier CPU and gaming GPU with an affordable $80 motherboard. I've been tempted too, … [Read More...]
I replaced WSL with a full Linux VM, and here’s why it's actually better
Windows Subsystem for Linux, or WSL, has been an incredibly welcome addition to Windows for those who enjoy developing and tinkering with Linux distributions. The lightweight, easy-to-setup nature of these instances is perfect for anyone looking to run Linux tools without needing to leave their primary OS. Once I started to use non-native packages and stepped outside of basic command-line tasks, I … [Read More...]
RGB is secretly the worst bloatware on your PC
If your PC features a lot of RGB lighting, chances are you've got software to manage it. While proprietary RGB software will give you complete control over your lighting, most RGB control software consumes hardware resources to run on a consistent basis. This is especially true of most OEMs' proprietary RGB management software, like Asus Armoury Crate, MSI Center, or Razer Synapse. Source: … [Read More...]
This cute open-source notes app killed Google Keep for me
Google Keep has been my go-to for jotting down quick ideas and making lists. It’s minimal, dead easy to navigate, and also just a tap away on my phone. I love it for its simplicity which allows me to quickly dump half-formed notes. But over time, I started to hit a ceiling. My notes became a messy scroll of colorful squares without folders or real structure. I also wasn’t a fan of my notes being … [Read More...]
The best smart rings for 2025

The raft of celebrities who are seen wearing them, the NBA’s use of Oura rings as an early warning system against COVID-19 and, last year, Samsung’s entry into the market has made them far more prominent in the minds of mainstream consumers. We’ve tested plenty of smart … [Read More...]
