Over the last couple of months, we’ve been going back and forth when it comes to the Galaxy S23 series SoCs. Well, it’s now basically official, every single Galaxy S23 series handset will be fueled by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 will fuel every single Galaxy S23 model Yesterday, a report surfaced stating that the Exynos 2300 may not launch at all. That was supposed to be Samsung’s next-gen flagship SoC. A well-known tipster, Ice Universe, shared the news. That same tipster  shared a tweet earlier today, with an indirect confirmation that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 will be the only chip in the Galaxy S23 phones. He basically acted out a little play in a tweet, presenting joy in a European user because he got rid of Exynos. In the latest  tweet he shared , he shared a statement from Qualcomm’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Akash Palkhiwala. You can see that statement in the image below. Mr. Palkhiwala clearly says that Qualcomm SoC share was 75% inside the Galaxy S22,

For those of us old enough to remember, a carefully curated physical or digital music collection was once a thing of pride and joy. Today, of course, music streaming services like Spotify have taken over the duty of cherry-picking recommendations and giving you a non-stop stream of music tuned specifically to your taste. Now imagine if someone had the power to wreak havoc on that carefully tuned stream of music, or worse, lock you out of your own account.

Woman moves from iOS to Android, new phone’s battery credited with saving life

The Sun We’ll preface this article by saying we normally steer away from stories that originate from  The Sun , as the publication is notorious for misleading headlines and even yellow journalism. However, when a story emerges about how an Android battery allegedly saved a woman’s life, that’s something we just can’t ignore. According to  The Sun , a woman named Beth McDermott, pictured above, from Lancaster, England, suffered a head injury in her home. McDermott, who lives alone, was apparently unconscious for three days. When she awoke she could not use her legs, as she suffers from a syndrome called rhabdomyolysis, which results in skeletal muscle breaking down rapidly. Luckily, when McDermott reached for her phone, her Android battery was still at 50% — even after three days of sitting idle and unplugged. She called an ambulance and spent a week in the hospital recovering. Editor's Pick The best Android smartphones with the best battery life (July 2019) We'v

91Mobiles The OnePlus 8 is likely just around the corner , and plenty of rumors and leaks have been rolling in. The latest rumors come from a recent APK teardown done by XDA Developers , which reveals a OnePlus 8 for Verizon is likely in the works. The teardown in question was of the latest OnePlus Launcher version 4.3.3. This update landed in the Play Store earlier today, and it included a few aesthetic changes, including the ability to hide icon labels on the home screen and the addition of an AMOLED black theme for the OnePlus Shelf . What users would not have seen on the surface are several pieces of evidence sitting deep within the launcher’s code that point toward a OnePlus 8 Verizon variant. This includes a new string referencing a Verizon folder, a method called “isVerizon” in the “SkuHelper” class that returns true if the software type is “Verizon,” and a switch statement in the DeviceHelper class that explicitly lists “OnePlus8VZW” alongside “OnePlus8TMO” and other pos
