Google is working on a redesigned keyboard shortcut menu in Android 15 QPR1 that's easier to use on tablets.

Google is working on a new version of Chrome for Android that supports browser extensions, but it might not be available for mobile devices.

> The OnePlus 13 is coming, and it will support magnetic wireless charging, but with a twist. The twist being that it's apparently not going to have magnets inside, but will instead rely on magnetic cases to hook up to magnetic wireless chargers.

> This information comes straight from a OnePlus exec on Weibo, but since the original text is in Chinese, we have to rely on machine translation and that can always go awry, so do keep that in mind.

> The exec in question has also confirmed that OnePlus will launch wood grain design cases for the OnePlus 13, although the wording strongly hints at these not being made out of real wood, instead simply emulating the look of wood.

> Lately, Samsung Electronics has been in the news headlines too often for the wrong reasons. Workers are striking, the company is losing key semiconductor clients, the mass production roadmap for the Texas chip factory got pushed back to 2026, the public One UI 7.0 update isn't coming this year, and more and more people are beginning to think that the company lost its spirit of innovation.

> Samsung is well aware of all this, and today, Samsung Electronics DS Division Vice Chairman Jun Young-hyun issued an apology to customers, investors, and employees worldwide.

> “Many people are talking about Samsung's crisis,” the letter says. “All of this responsibility lies with us who are leading the business.”

> ## Samsung vows to do better, innovate, and be proactive

> “Dear customers, investors, and employees,” says Samsung in its letter. “The performance that fell short of market expectations has raised concerns about the fundamental technological competitiveness and the future of the company.”

> Samsung added it has a history of “challenge, innovation, and overcoming that has always turned crises into opportunities.” Now appears to be one of those times when the company has to turn a bad situation into a good one.

> “Our management will take the lead in overcoming the crisis,” states the letter before listing three major talking points about the ongoing issues and how to solve them.

> “Above all, we will restore the fundamental competitiveness of technology. Technology and quality are our lifeblood. It is Samsung Electronics' pride that we can never compromise on.”

> Samsung wants to secure fundamental competitiveness rather than seek short-term solutions. And this statement seemingly rings true with Samsung leader Jay Y. Lee's recent discussion about not wanting to spin off Foundry and System LSI and continuing to think long-term.

> The only way to make a comeback, Samsung says, is through “new technologies that do not exist in the world and perfect quality competitiveness.”

> The second big talking point in Samsung's apology letter had to do with passion for pioneering. The company states it will better prepare for the future. “We will rekindle our unique passion to fearlessly pioneer the future and to cling to our goals until the end and achieve them.”

> Instead of a defensive mindset armed to protect what Samsung already has, the company will “Re-arm \[itself] with a challenging spirit to run toward a higher goal.”

> Last but not least, the third major point was that Samsung vows to reexamine its “Organizational culture and work methods and immediately fix what needs to be fixed.” Samsung says that if it finds a problem in the field, it will “expose it and have a heated discussion to improve it.”

> According to reports, the Dimensity 9400 features the new Arm Cortex-X925 prime CPU core, delivering a 36% improvement in performance and a 41% boost in AI capabilities compared to its predecessor, the Cortex-X4. Additionally, the chip includes the Mali-G925-Immortalis MC12 GPU, touted as Arm’s most powerful and efficient GPU to date. In tests, the GPU achieved 134fps in the GFXBench Aztec 1440P off-screen Vulkan scene, outperforming the A18 Pro by 86% and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 by 41%.

> Vivo X200 series to arrive with top-notch cameras

> The Vivo X200 series is expected to provide an exceptional photography experience. A highlight of the X200 Pro is that it will flaunt a 200-megapixel f/2.67 85mm periscope telephoto lens with a V3+ imaging chip, covering focal lengths from 15mm to 85mm. It is the same periscope telephoto lens that’s available on the Vivo X100 Ultra.

> The X200 Pro and X200 Pro Mini are both expected to come equipped with the Sony LYT818 f/1.57 23mm main sensor. For optically zoomed shots, the X200 Pro Mini is expected to feature a 70mm mid-telephoto periscope lens.

> According to reports, the X200 will come with a 50-megapixel Sony IMX921 primary camera and a 50-megapixel Sony IMX882 (or LYT-600) telephoto camera. All three phones are expected to feature a 50-megapixel Samsung JN1 lens for ultra-wide shots.
