Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra battery and charging leak suggests subtle but smart upgrades
Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra has been in the leaks recently, and we even saw its slight redesign leak a few days ago. Now, the tablet's battery and charging speeds have leaked, giving us a little more info about the upcoming device. A Samsung device carrying model numbers SM-X930, SM-X936B, and SM-X936N has been spotted in Finland's SGS Fimko certification platform. These model numbers are known to be associated with the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra. The document shows that the device sports an 11,600mAh battery and supports 45W fast charging. As you can probably tell already, there's no upgrade in the charging speed department. The Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra also sported 45W charging speeds. However, the battery cell is bigger now, at 11,600mAh from the 11,200mAh on the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra. It's not a huge jump, but it's still there. The certification. | Image Credit - XP It should offer better battery life coupled with the more power-efficient chip, rumored for the device. The Galaxy Tab S11 and the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra are said to come with a 3nm chip (this could be the Dimensity 9400+ as per rumors), while the Galaxy Tab S10 + and the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra use a 4nm chip (the Dimensity 9300+). So this more power-efficient processor should allow for better battery life on the Tab S11 Ultra. 12GB of RAM is expected for the base models, and 16GB of RAM for the models sporting 1TB of storage. Both upcoming tablets are rumored to come with One UI 8.0 (based on Android 16) out of the box. The Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra has already shown its face in leaks, and we now suspect it will have only one front-facing camera instead of the dual front-facing camera setup that its predecessor came with. On the back, the tablet is expected to rock two cameras. These two tablets are said to come out before the end of 2025. They will face Apple's powerful iPad Pro and the iPad Air for the hearts of tablet buyers. Apple recently released new models from the iPad Air lineup, quite similar to the older generation in terms of design but with specced-up internals. An M5-powered iPad Pro is expected later this year. Let's see what Samsung has in store to compete!

Why EVgo (EVGO) Stock Is Trading Up Today
What Happened? Shares of electric vehicle charging company EVgo (NASDAQ:EVGO) jumped 3.1% in the morning session after it secured a $225 million credit facility to accelerate the buildout of its nationwide electric vehicle charging infrastructure. The proceeds from the deal were earmarked to accelerate the deployment of more than 1,500 additional high-power fast charging stalls nationwide. This transaction was noted as the largest commercial bank facility for electric vehicle charging in the United States. The five-year credit facility, which was oversubscribed, also included an option to increase the total financing by $75 million to $300 million. The strong interest from the participating global project finance banks signaled significant lender confidence in the company's expansion plans and the future of EV infrastructure. After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $3.59, down 0.4% from previous close. Is now the time to buy EVgo? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. What Is The Market Telling Us EVgo's shares are extremely volatile and have had 56 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today's move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business. The biggest move we wrote about over the last year was 3 months ago when the stock gained 32.6% on the news that the company reported strong first quarter 2025 results which beat analysts' sales and EBITDA expectations. In addition, full-year EBITDA guidance outpaced Wall Street's estimates. What really stood out was how much more energy people used at its chargers, as network throughput jumped 60%. That helped push revenue up 36%, led by a big rise in charging fees as more cars plugged into EVgo's growing network of stations. Zooming out, we think this quarter featured some important positives. EVgo is down 14.4% since the beginning of the year, and at $3.59 per share, it is trading 59.9% below its 52-week high of $8.94 from October 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of EVgo's shares at the IPO in November 2020 would now be looking at an investment worth $365.39. Unless you've been living under a rock, it should be obvious by now that generative AI is going to have a huge impact on how large corporations do business. While Nvidia and AMD are trading close to all-time highs, we prefer a lesser-known (but still profitable) semiconductor stock benefiting from the rise of AI.

Startup Morelle Markets 15-Minute-Charge E-Bike—Tech Powers Robots, Too
Morelle e-bikes promise 15-minute superfast charging. E-bikes tend to be hooked up to power overnight or throughout the day while at work, but for the founders of startup e-bike brand Morelle, this trickle charging is too slow. The Californian company has developed a $3,000 urban e-bike that can go from flat to almost full in minutes, rather than hours. The battery technology they're using isn't bought in; it's proprietary and, later this year, is set to power humanoid robots. Morelle's lithium-ion battery tech uses silicon instead of graphite. Compared to graphite, silicon stores up to ten times more energy, so using silicon powder instead of graphite for anodes—the part that releases electrons during discharge—can significantly improve a battery's energy density. Morelle isn't the only company using such silicon anodes. The black powder already powers the five-day battery life of the latest Whoop activity-tracking wearable, and it's the same kind of nanoscale powder that American companies, such as Sila, say could enable ten-minute recharges for electric cars. And it's not just a case of swapping one anode powder for another; there's a significant amount of chemical complexity built into the process. Morelle's technology was developed by battery scientist Kevin Hays, whose PhD was in silicon anodes, and who cofounded the company with tech development specialist Michael Sinkula. They previously worked together at Ionblox, a battery company specializing in large-format pouch cells using pre-lithiated silicon-dominant anodes for electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) air taxis, a fiercely competitive sector yet to scale. The pair left to found Morelle, teaming up with legendary bicycle designer and entrepreneur Gary Fisher. Fisher, a notable San Francisco bicycle racer in the late 1960s, was one of the Marin County pioneers who, racing down a steep fire road near the forest town of Fairfax on modified 1930s Schwinn paperboy bikes known as 'clunkers," codeveloped the product and sport of mountain biking in the mid- to late-1970s with other legends such as Joe Breeze. Spotting a commercial opportunity to promote and sell clunkers more widely, Fisher coined the term 'mountain bike' in 1979 and, in the same year, cofounded MountainBikes, the first company to specialize in the manufacture of this type of 'balloon tire' off-road bicycle. Just 160 were sold in the first year. Fisher went on to found Gary Fisher Mountain Bikes, a brand later acquired by Trek Corporation. Fisher worked as a brand ambassador for Trek until 2022. Hays and Sinkula started working with Fisher in 2023, appointing him as Morelle's chief bike designer. 'We didn't know if [Fisher] would be interested in e-bikes at all,' said Hays, 'but he was super excited about what we're doing, and was very forward thinking, and wanted to get involved with what we were proposing.' Shrink it And what they were proposing was an e-bike that was lighter than other e-bikes and didn't look like one, either. 'We wanted to shrink the battery to get to a point where you're not carrying around all this excess battery,' said Hays. 'We wanted the bike to feel more like a bike, and less like an e-bike. When you're worried about range and charging times, you end up putting large batteries on the bike, but that makes the bike heavy and cumbersome.' Morelle principals Gary Fisher, left, with Michael Sinkula and Kevin Hays. Morelle bikes will be lighter and slimmer than traditional e-bikes, said Hays. And they'll charge much faster. E-bike batteries typically charge at a rate of 100-300W, while Morelle can charge through standard wall outlets at a rate of 1000-1200W. Using a proprietary wall charger will boost this recharge to 1500W, a rate that could prove attractive for fleet operators. 'We wanted to move away from the idea that you have to leave your e-bike battery charging for four to eight hours, perhaps even unattended," said Hays. 'With our bike, you'll charge for 10 or 15 minutes, so you're not sitting there worrying about leaving a battery charging for a long time.' Hays and Sinkula formed their own brand after being rejected by e-bike battery companies such as Bosch. 'We were hoping that the bike industry would be more forward thinking on [new technologies],' said Sinkula, who has a biomedical engineering backgound. 'But they were not forward-thinking at all. That pushed us to pursue this.' Self-funded so far, Sinkula said Morelle will be seeking venture capital. In addition to its own e-bikes, Morelle is also supplying batteries to Under Control Robotics (UCR), a US supplier of humanoid robots for deployment in challenging work environments such as construction, energy and mining. 'Performance-wise, the kind of battery pack we're putting in the e-bike is almost identical to what's required for untethered robotics,' said Sinkula. '[Makers of humanoid robots] are also somewhat restricted to volume and weight constraints, so energy density is also an important factor.' Morelle—derived from Morty and Ellie, the names of the dogs owned by the Hays and Sinkula families—is a direct-to-consumer brand with an initial focus on the US. The company's aluminum bikes will be manufactured in Taiwan. Pre-orders are now being taken, and the first batch of Morelle's $3,000 e-bikes will be available early next year, with a limited production run of 1,000 units. Morelle's batteries will be used in UCR's robots set for commercial release in the fall.
