New leak reveals unexpected details about Samsung's upcoming top-tier tablets
Samsung will have a very busy summer, but that has become tradition for the South Korean company, which remains committed to launching two flagship series each year. After introducing the Galaxy S25 series earlier this year, Samsung is now gearing up for another major launch, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7. Besides these two foldables, Samsung is also expected to refresh its flagship tablet series with at least two new models, Galaxy Tab S11 and Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra. Rumor has it that the tablets aren't ready for release yet and they're unlikely to hit shelves along with Samsung's new foldables, but that's no surprise considering that most of the company's high-end tablets were announced in fall. Unlike last year when Samsung launched a 'Plus' Galaxy Tab S10 version, this year the South Korean giant decided to limit the series to just two models: Galaxy Tab S11 and Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra. The former makes a comeback after one year of hiatus, while the latter continues the string of 'Ultra' tablets Samsung launched since 2022. The first information leaked about the Galaxy Tab S11 and Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra indicates that both tablets will be equipped with Dimensity 9400 processors, MediaTek's flagship chipset. Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra has a 11,200 mAh battery, just like the previous Ultra models | Image credit: PhoneArena New details about Samsung's flagship tablets reveal that at least one of them will have a bigger battery, which is unusual. Ever since Samsung launched the first Ultra tablet, the Galaxy Tab S8, it always included a 11,200 mAh battery. However, the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra seems to feature a slightly larger battery. The folks at GalaxyClub found evidence that Samsung's next flagship tablet, the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra, will have a 11,700 - 12,000 mAh battery. The exact capacity will be announced by Samsung, but the rated capacity of Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra is 11,374 mAh. In comparison, the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra has a rated capacity of 10,880, although the advertised battery capacity of the tablet is 11,200 mAh. This will be the first time that Samsung upgrades the battery of its Ultra tablets. Even if that seems a minor improvement, it makes way for more improvements in future models.

Pixel Superfans invite hints Pixel 10 phones could launch earlier than their predecessors
Google unveiled the Pixel 9 series smartphones (except the Pixel 9a) last year in August, and if you expected the Pixel 10 lineup to follow the same launch timeframe, that might not be the case since the Pixel Superfans invite hints at an early launch of the Pixel 10 series. Google Pixel 9a The folks at Android Authority shared an invite sent by Google to the Pixel Superfans for a 1.5-hour Pixel Penthouse event in London on June 27, where "they will get hands on with pre-release Pixel devices and features." Google's Pixel Penthouse event invite for Pixel Superfans The invite doesn't divulge anything about these pre-release Pixel devices, but if we had to guess, these would be the Pixel 10 smartphones. Google says the Pixel Penthouse is "this year's exclusive pre-launch event," hinting at an earlier-than-expected launch of the Pixel 10 series, possibly by the end of July. Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold's leaked renders (Source: Android Headlines) Remember that Android 16 is also slated to get a stable release earlier than Android 15. Google confirmed that it would be released in Q2 2025, meaning before the end of June, so the launch of the Pixel 10 series sometime in July is very much possible. Source
