Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra to have a bigger battery
Namely, that it will grow. The Tab S11 Ultra allegedly has a battery with a rated capacity of 11,374 mAh. This won't be the advertised capacity, however, that one is called typical capacity and should be around 11,700 mAh to 11,900 mAh. Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra
For comparison, note that the Tab S10 Ultra's battery has a rated capacity of 10,880 mAh and a typical (advertised) capacity of 11,200 mAh. So it's not a huge difference in the new model, but an increase in battery size is very welcome no matter how small it may be.
Notably, this is the first increase in battery size for Samsung's Galaxy Tab Ultra. The Ultra moniker started to be used with the Tab S8 Ultra, and that one had an 11,200 mAh cell just like the current Tab S10 Ultra.
According to a previous rumor, the Tab S11 Ultra will be powered by MediaTek's Dimensity 9400 SoC. That's the only other detail about it that's been outed so far, but we shall definitely be hearing more about it in the coming weeks and months, so stay tuned.

Leaked images of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra show a smaller notch
The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra had a dual front-facing camera – as did the Tab S9 Ultra and Tab S10 Ultra. That's cool and all, but the wide notch they caused was not ideal. The upcoming Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra will go halfway towards fixing the issue – it will only have a single camera on the front. Due to thin bezels, that camera will still live on a notch, but it will be less obtrusive as you can see in the images below. The notch, which will have a semicircular design, will eat a tiny fraction of the roomy 14.6' OLED display. Leaked images of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra show the new smaller notch Samsung is said to be using a new panel for this one, but the resolution is the same at 2,960 x 1,848px. We could see a higher brightness or other improvements. Flipping over to the back, there are two cameras, a wide and ultra-wide. The new Ultra, which is set to be announced at IFA in early September, will be powered by the original Dimensity 9400, according to WinFuture. This contradicts the previous report that said 9400+ instead of 9400. The Plus chip boosts the Cortex-X925 core to 3.73GHz (up from 3.63GHz) and increases NPU performance by 20%, but that's about it – which is to say that it's not a huge deal which of the two rumors is correct. The current Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra with a trapezoidal dual-camera notch The tablet will have up to 16GB of RAM, likely starting at 12GB for the base model. Storage will be up to 1TB. It will run Android 16 – we're yet to see One UI 8 on a tablet, so we don't know what upgrades Samsung has in stores for its large screen devices. As previously reported, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra will measure only 5.1mm thick while having a slightly larger 11,600mAh battery – for comparison, the Tab S10 Ultra is 5.4mm and has an 11,200mAh battery. Charging will remain the same at 45W, according to certifications. Source (in German)

Pixel AI doing it right? The new Camera Coach looks promising...
OK, I am generally skeptical about all the new AI features coming out with new phones. Sometimes, it feels that developers are just throwing spaghetti at the wall. Sometimes, things that were promised don't come to be — imagine calling your entire ecosystem Apple Intelligence and then not delivering on a third of the presentation. But, sometimes, somehow, an AI feature lands and makes you go "Well, that makes sense". Like Live Translate for phone calls. Yeah, Samsung did it with the Galaxy S24 line. I felt like "it made sense", but was quite underbaked. Now, in comes Google with the next-gen AI tech. Firstly, they improved phone call Live Translate. Like by... a lot — it looks like it's faster, but it also generates the translations using your own voice. Yes, sure, it may be creepy..., but also cool. But that's not what I am here to talk about. What really had my ears perked was the new Camera Coach feature — it uses AI to figure out what you are trying to photograph, and gives you guides on how to improve framing. I was going to write about Camera Coach in an entirely different tone, really. I had snarky remarks and video blurbs ready to go, about how it has AI guiding your hand, taking human expression out of the equation when we talk about photos. "Unless,..." — I was about to end my post — "Unless it actually tells you why it's making the suggestions that it is, so it would slowly teach you about photography, too". Because, let's face it — a lot of people take pretty bad photos. I am not saying I am amazing at it, but after a few years of reviewing phones and their cameras, I kind of picked up on this and that (read: boss forced me to learn). Really basic principles that aren't the end-all be-all of photography, but you should kind of understand in order to be able to get a generally OK photo. And sometimes, when I hand my phone to someone else to take a picture of me — I get reminded that a lot of people just don't know of these principles. It's how I end up with photos of me where my head is shaped like a banana, my legs are facing towards the camera in a weird fashion, there's a ton of headroom above me, the subject of the photo is unclear, the light source is in the frame, et cetera, et cetera. I've even had to teach someone that you can tap on the viewfinder if you want the phone to adjust its focus to something that's further away. Mind-blowing stuff, I know. Now, it probably won't teach you all about Pro camera settings like shutter speed, aperture values, and whatnot, but what we saw at the Pixel presentation made a lot of sense if you simply want to teach people proper framing. The AI first looks at the scene you are trying to capture, then asks — are you trying to take a portrait here or a more general shot of the mood of the room, or something else. Pick the style you are going for After that, it'll tell you if you need to go closer, go lower, back off, look up or down, et cetera. But more importantly — most importantly — it gives you a short blurb of text to let you know exactly why you are doing this. Like "Lower the camera to eye level for a more personal photo" or "Place the head in the upper part of the frame to follow the rule of thirds". Helpful tips and short explanation Now, they are short blurbs, and they don't take the time to explain what the rule of thirds is. But by simply knowing such a thing exists, you are now free to Google Gemini it, right? Especially on a Pixel phone, ha! For example, Samsung has had Shot Suggestions within the camera app for some time now. It's much more basic, and simply gives you a point in the frame where you should center your camera, and an angle to rotate it to. No word on why the phone thinks that'd look good and — spoiler — it often doesn't. So, I am glad this is not what the Google Camera Coach is, or at least not what it's trying to be. I'll test it further when I get my hands on it. So, in general, my view on the never-ending wave of new AI features hasn't budged by much. But I just had an a-ha moment, which helped adjust it. A lot of the AI features that we get are sold to us as a "Problem solver that does it all on its own". That's when you will typically hear me groan. First, a lot of the times it's not "smart" enough to fully do a good job at it, without a hallucination or two. Secondly, a lot of these "Problems" are... not very problematic. Like the new Magic Cue — sure, it looks pretty impressive, but I am still iffy on whether I will want it on my phone or simply disable it. If you missed that part — it is contextually aware about the content of your received emails / texts. If someone's asking you a question, it'll go through your calendars, events, or other conversations and mails to suggest the proper answer. Like "When are you arriving?" - it looks at your plane ticket info and suggests a one-tap response with the exact time. I can't wait to see the screenshots of AI-hallucinated answers when that goes live. And to that, I ask — what problem are we solving here? My inability to type out "8:30 PM"? In my opinion, AI shines when it's used as a learning helper. Maybe it can't dive in and teach you the fine nuances and deep intricacies of any field. But it's pretty good at giving you solid basics to chase. At least that's how I've been using it recently, and I feel like it's made me a bit less stupid. So, the Camera Coach here falls in that basket — AI that's helping you learn the basics and giving you roads and rabbit holes to go down, if you so desire. Otherwise, you can still just use it to help you with the basics and at least improve your photo skills by a little bit. In other words, please stop making me into banana head man, the head should not be near the edge of the frame.

Google Pixel Watch 4 and Pixel Buds 2a announced
The Google Pixel Watch 4 is now official, and it features a couple of upgrades, none of which are on the design side. The new Pixel Watch looks exactly the same as its predecessor, but offers a better display, higher performance and longer battery life. Google also announced the Pixel Buds 2a - a pair of budget TWS buds that sit below the currently available Pixel Buds Pro 2. Pixel Watch 4 The watch comes in two variants, like before - 41mm and 45mm, with the display size being 1.2" and 1.4". Both displays are upgraded and can go up to 3,000 nits, matching other 2025 smartwatches like the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 series. This will provide better legibility outdoors. Pixel Watch 4 Additionally, the duo upgrades the Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 chipset with the Plus variant - Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1. While the upgrade may sound incremental on paper, the newer SoC is equipped with an AON (always-on) co-processor. It's a built-in low-power 22nm processor, and it takes care of essential processes while the main SoC is asleep. This preserves energy. Speaking of energy, the two models come with an upgraded 327 mAh (+20 mAh) for the 41mm and 459 mAh (+39mAh) for the 45mm. With the new batteries, Google expects the 41mm to run for 30 hours on a single charge, while the 45mm will offer 40 hours of battery life with AOD. When it comes to charging, the Pixel Watch 4 series has a new docking station offering "side charging". You will need to place it on its side, and it will turn into an alarm on your desk. But more importantly, charging is now 25% faster. Notably, the Pixel Watch 4 is "Gemini-ready", meaning you can speak to Gemini by just raising your wrist. Gemini is also deeply integrated in some apps on your watch, and it will respond to your queries. Health and sport-tracking features include tracking for over 40 types exercise, ECG, SpO2, breathing rate and HRV monitoring. The available Active band colors are Obsidian, Porcelain and Moonstone, while the Sport band comes in Indigo, Limoncello and Iris. Interestingly, the Active band is made of a new material this year, making it a tad more comfortable. The Pixel Watch 4 ships with Wear OS 6 on board, and pricing for the 41mm model starts at $349 for the non-LTE variant, while the LTE-enabled version is $399. The 45mm Pixel Watch 4 starts at $399 for non-LTE and $449 for the LTE. In Europe, the pricing is similar - €399 and €499 for the 41mm, respectively, while the 45mm option asks €449 and €549. Pixel Buds 2a The new Pixel Buds 2a are a more budget-oriented alternative to the Pixel Buds Pro 2 that are currently available. Still, they seem to offer a bunch of premium features that will make you think twice before opting for the full-fledged Pixel Buds Pro 2. Google Pixel Buds 2a in Gray Compared to their predecessors, the Pixel Buds 2a are a significant upgrade, since the original Pixel Buds A series were released about four years ago. The budget pair offers active noise cancellation and omits the Pixel Buds Pro 2's passive Silent Seal 2.0 noise isolation. Google Pixel Buds 2a in Iris Additionally, the buds have spatial audio, but without the head-tracking feature. The battery is enough to last you 7 hours of playback time, while the charging case extends that time to 20 hours. Unlike the Buds Pro 2, the Buds 2a's case doesn't support wireless charging. The buds come in Gray and Iris colors and are priced at €149 in Europe and $129 in the US.
