International units of Samsung Galaxy S21 could be more power efficient than the US variants
Yesterday, we’ve reported about the benchmark listing of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S21+ device. The Snapdragon 875 powered smartphone has obtained higher points in comparison to the previously tested Exynos 2100 variant.
However, the benchmark result of the Exynos variant was nearly two months older than the recently listed Snapdragon model. Now, a new leaked benchmark result alleges that Samsung’s upcoming flagship processor, Exynos 2100 will beat Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 875 SoC.
Both, Samsung’s Exynos 2100 and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 875 chipsets will be manufactured using the 5nm process technology. It is also expected that each processor follows the same architecture, including one ARM Cortex-X1 core, three Cortex-A78 cores, and four Cortex-A55 cores.

Adding to this, both of the chips will be clocked differently and a reliable source, @UniverseIce claimed that Exynos 2100’s Cortex-X1 core will have a maximum frequency of 2.91Ghz.
It’s three Cortex-A78 cores will have a frequency of 2.81Ghz, and the four Cortex-A55 cores will be clocked at 2.21Ghz while the Snapdragon 875’s Cortex-A78 cores will be clocked at 2.42Ghz and Cortex-A55 cores will offer clock speeds of up to 1.8Ghz.
Moreover, @MaxWeinbach said that Exynos 2100 has a better energy efficiency ratio than previous generations of chips, so there may not be a need to worry about it will consume more power than the upcoming Snapdragon 875.
Leakster UniverseIce further claimed that the Exynos 2100 got more than 4000 points in the multi-core test while yesterday’s tested Snapdragon 875 received 3319.
It seems like the South Korean tech giant has made remarkable significant improvements to its Exynos 2100 SoC which can help Samsung’s Exynos chipset to leave Snapdragon behind for the first time.

We can also expect that this time the upcoming Galaxy S21 series smartphones will be more powerful than the Snapdragon-powered US units.
Third-party cases of Samsung Galaxy S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra have been leaked. The Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus have just a difference in size, while the S25 Ultra adopts a Note-like design without sharp corners and a boxy design.
RolandQuandt revealed the third-party cases of the Samsung Galaxy S25 series. We’re already aware of the upcoming flagships’ design. As we approach the 1Q25 launch timeframe, more and more stuff has started to surface online.
The Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus cases have vertical cutouts for the camera sensors with a hole for LED flash. The S25 Ultra comes with a P-shaped cutout for the camera due to four sensors along with LED flash and ToF sensor.
The frame’s left part remains vacant, while the right side holds volume rockers and a power key. The bottom area should have a primary microphone, USB C-Type port for charging, and speaker grille (S Pen slot on Ultra variant).

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Release
Samsung officially confirmed the next generation Galaxy S series will launch in the first half of the next year. While the company shared a 6-month timeframe, we assume, the S25 series will be announced in the first quarter itself.
Galaxy S25 Ultra release will mark the end of an era and it’s the “curve.” Samsung’s going to completely ditch the iconic Note design. The next Ultra won’t get sharp corners and curved edge display in favor of durability and easier handling.
Snapdragon 8 Elite will power the Galaxy S25 Ultra internationally. Samsung hasn’t yet decided Exynos and Snapdragon distribution. However, the US variants will solely use Qualcomm’s new flagship Snapdragon chipset.
Samsung announced the Galaxy Z Fold SE’s second sale will start soon. This comes after the first batch was sold out within 10 minutes. Korean consumers are ready to grab the Special Edition foldable for themselves.
Galaxy Z Fold SE’s second sale will start today in South Korea, as per Samsung. The first sale started with 7 hours of delay due to the validation of quantities. Now, Korean carriers would also be able to sell from their own platforms.
This time, the Z Fold SE will be available for purchase not only from Samsung.com but also from three Korean carriers. You can expect significant subsidies from network partners apart from limited-period early bird offers.
Samsung held the first sale of the Z Fold SE on October 25, 2024. The smartphone sold out in less than 10 minutes during the first sale. At that time, sales were not conducted on the online stores of the partner carriers due to a lack of stock.
The Galaxy Z Fold SE is the thinnest and lightest model in the Z Fold series, with a thickness of 10.6 mm and a weight of 236 g. It is 1.5 mm thinner and 3 g lighter than the Galaxy Z Fold 6 released in July this year.
It uses a 200-megapixel sensor as the main camera, which is also a key highlight. The box, in which you get the Z Fold SE, is also special. It includes a leather case and a 25W travel adapter apart from the phone and SIM tray ejector.
Huawei confirmed its most powerful Mate launches this November. Huawei is set to unveil the Mate 70 series in mainland China, but it could also be available in certain countries in Southeast Asia and Europe.
Samsung lost its foldable dominance to Huawei in the global market. Strong sales in China and intense competition from Chinese brands helped Huawei dominate the market. However, it’s difficult for Huawei to repeat it in the flagship market.
Huawei’s Yu Chengdong confirmed the new Mate lineup arriving this month. It will be the most powerful Mate from the smartphone manufacturer. The phones will also be loaded with the Android-less HarmonyOS NEXT.
Huawei teases Mate 70 series
The most powerful Mate ever! See you in November!
The handset’s launching this month, but the exact date remains unknown. Recent leaks point to a mid-November debut for the Mate 70 series in China. Leaked inputs indicate some stunning technological innovations to look at.
The Mate 70 series is rumored to feature a similar camera design but with additional laser sensors. The conventional fingerprint solution may also be replaced with an advanced ultrasonic fingerprint scanner for faster and more reliable authentication.
Snapdragon 8 Elite is impossible due to US restrictions on Huawei. Therefore, the Mate 70 will be equipped with Huawei’s in-house Kirin chipset, which could offer better performance and power efficiency than the Pura 70’s chip.
In addition, the next-gen Huawei flagships could pack silicon-anode batteries. The 50-megapixel sensor will also be supported by variable aperture. HarmonyOS NEXT is the biggest reason I am, personally, excited about the Mate 70 series.
Weibo’s DCS on Mate 70 Series
As mentioned in September, the Huawei Mate70 series will be launched in November, “the most powerful Mate in history.” What are you looking forward to? A new processor that is more energy efficient? 50Mp ultra-large variable aperture domestically produced ultra-large bottom? High density silicon cells? New fingerprint unlocking solution and active face? Pure-blooded Hongment system?
Huawei’s Mate 70 series will rival the Galaxy S25 series in certain markets. Samsung has negligible acceptance in the Chinese market. And the lack of Android and GMS makes it a far better purchase than any Huawei device.
