Appleβs future iPhone 18 models may not use the most powerful version of next-generation 2-nanometer chip technology, according to recent reports. Instead, Apple is expected to rely on a more basic and stable version of TSMCβs 2nm manufacturing process for its upcoming iPhone processor.
Apple designs its own chips, but they are made by TSMC, the worldβs leading semiconductor manufacturer. TSMC is preparing several versions of its new 2nm technology. The first version, N2, focuses on efficiency and reliable production.A later version, N2P, is designed for higher performance but costs more and is harder to produce.
For the iPhone 18, Apple is expected to use the N2 process, not the faster N2P version.The speed difference between the two is small, around 5 percent. Most users will not notice this difference in daily use.

The reason for this choice is timing. The faster N2P process will be ready later, and Apple needs its chips ready on time for iPhone launches. Using N2 helps Apple avoid delays.
Cost is another reason. The high-performance N2P process is more expensive, and Apple often prefers balanced performance, long battery life, and stability over small speed gains.
Even without the high-performance 2nm technology, the iPhone 18 is expected to be fast, power-efficient, and reliable. For everyday users, the phone should feel smooth and responsive. Stay tuned for more information.
SamsungGalaxy S25 Ultra is the latest flagship phone in the Galaxy S series. And the company is going to launch its next-generation model later this month. Now, a new report has shared an important update about the Galaxy S25 Ultra display.
According to a reliable tipster @UniverseIce, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra now supports HDR display on Weibo. This means users can watch and view HDR photos and videos directly on Weibo using this smartphone. HDR helps make images look better by showing brighter colors, better contrast, and more detail in both dark and bright areas.
The Weibo post also shows several photos taken with the Galaxy S25 Ultra. These photos highlight the HDR effect clearly. With HDR support, pictures look more colorful, clear, and closer to real life. This makes viewing photos and videos on the phone more enjoyable.

Right now, many popular social media apps support HDR content. These include Instagram, Xiaohongshu, and Weibo. Because of this, users can enjoy high-quality images and videos on these platforms. However, the X platform still does not support HDR content.
The addition of HDR support on Weibo improves the viewing experience on the Galaxy S25 Ultra.This update is helpful for users who like taking photos, watching videos, and sharing content on social media. Stay tuned for more information.
Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra will launch in four bold colors and at least two online exclusive shades. A fresh leak brings back the flagshipβs color options to headlines, but two more rumored colors remain to be seen.
Newly leaked Galaxy S26 Ultra images showcase the device in its four standard colors, including Cobalt Violet, Black, White and Sky Blue. The device could be available in two more shades, namely βPink Goldβ and βSilver Shadow.β
After AndroidHeadlines,Β Russian retailer Cifrus.ru (via SammyGuru) also revealed official pictures of Samsungβs upcoming flagship. The retailer has also listed a 128GB model of the S26U, which was nothing but a technical error.
Moments after listing the device, Cifrus.ru pulled the webpage. The listing is no longer there, but the visual assets have been grabbed early. Colors that are missing in renders could be sold as Samsung.com-exclusive variants.
Just recently, an online listing brought disappointing news for fans. It looks like Samsung hasnβt installed Qi2 magnets inside the devices. Users would be required to purchase compatible accessories to utilize Qi2 charging.
If it happens, Pixel 10 will remain the only Android device with Qi2 charging. Samsung is widely rumored to bring Qi2 charging to the Galaxy S26 series; meanwhile, things may not turn out the way everyone has anticipated.
Samsungβs Galaxy S26 series could hit market shelves on March 11. Before release, the devices will officially be unveiled on February 25. The event is set to take place in San Francisco, and an official livestream will be available for fans.
Samsungβs new phone, the Galaxy S26 Ultra, could cost more than last yearβs Galaxy S25 Ultra. The main reason is that the price of important parts like RAM (memory) and storage has gone up. These higher costs are affecting many electronics, and now smartphones are being affected too.
Reports say the Galaxy S26 Ultra could cost about 6% more than the S25 Ultra. The S25 Ultra started at $1,299.99 for the 256GB model. With a 6% increase, the S26 Ultra could cost around $1,377.
So, the price might be between $1,350 and $1,400. In South Korea, the new phone could be 1.8 million Won, up from 1.69 million Won for the previous model.
Samsung has not officially announced the price or the release date yet. These numbers are only estimates. It is possible that Samsung could keep the price the same, but because memory and storage are more expensive now, it is more likely the company will charge a bit more. Other phones in the Galaxy S26 series might also cost more.
For buyers, this means flagship phones in 2026 could be a little more expensive. The main reason is that modern phones need faster memory and more storage, which costs more to make. Small price increases like this are becoming common as phones get better and more advanced.
Even though Samsung hasnβt shared the official price yet, it seems very likely that the Galaxy S26 Ultra will cost more than the S25 Ultra. Buyers should expect a small price increase when the new phone launches later this year.
Samsung may bring a new way to unlock phones with your face on the Galaxy S27 Ultra. The exciting part is that it could be very secure without needing a large cutout or notch. This means the phone can stay sleek and all-screen.
According to the information, the new technology is called Polar ID. Unlike normal face unlock, which uses 3D sensors and many parts, Polar ID works by looking at how light reflects off your skin. Everyoneβs skin reflects light in a unique way.Β
The new system is also very fast. When you look at your phone, it sends out infrared light and captures both the image and how the light reflects. This happens in about 180 milliseconds, so unlocking your phone is almost instant.
Polar ID is much smaller than current face unlock systems. Normal systems need many parts, like cameras and projectors, which take up space. Polar ID combines everything into one module that is 50% smaller. This means Samsung could fit it inside a small punch-hole camera, keeping the phoneβs screen clean and smooth.
Right now, this is just a rumor as Samsung has not confirmed the Galaxy S27 Ultraβs final features. But if Polar ID works as expected, it could make Samsung phones more secure and stylish. Stay tuned for more information.

Final Co., Ltd. has announced the DX4000 CL, a closed-back, over-ear headphone designed to deliver a wide, open soundstage typically associated with open-back designs. The company will start accepting pre-orders in Japan on January 30, 2026, with sales beginning on February 6, 2026.
Closed-back headphones often struggle to sound open due to their sealed structure, which can reduce transparency and create a boxed-in listening feel. The DX4000 CL addresses this by using newly developed 30 mm thick low-resilience ear pads that increase the distance between the driver and the ear. This design choice helps reduce the sense of pressure and improves spatial presentation. Combined with a low-distortion driver and an internal structure designed to suppress unnecessary resonance, the headphones aim to deliver a sense of openness that feels closer to an open-back model.
The driver uses a composite diaphragm made from washi paper blended with carbon. Paper has long been used in audio diaphragms for its light weight and high internal damping, while the added carbon improves strength. To allow smoother diaphragm movement, final has adopted a free edge structure with no grooves along the edges. The front plate that secures the driver is made from a special glass-reinforced resin, which is both lightweight and rigid, helping to reduce distortion during playback.
Behind the driver, the DX4000 CL features Finalβs proprietary Rear Diffuser Array Structure. This design uses fine ribs with different shapes and spacing to eliminate parallel surfaces inside the housing. By diffusing sound reflections, it suppresses unwanted internal resonance and helps maintain cleaner sound.
The headphones are designed for long-term use. Adhesive use is kept to a minimum, and the housing is assembled with O-rings and precision screws to allow repairs. The 30 mm thick ear pads are made from synthetic leather and memory foam, offering strong sealing and comfort. They can be replaced without tools. The hanger connecting the headband and housing is made from super duralumin, a material also used in aircraft.
The DX4000 CL includes the Finalβs original silver-coated 2 m cable with a 4.4 mm plug, along with a 4.4 mm to 6.3 mm adapter. The textured paint finish helps resist fingerprints and sebum. Pricing is set at 128,000 yen, or about $829, with deliveries starting February 6, 2026.

Samsung is working on its next flagship phone, the Galaxy S26 Ultra, and new reports suggest it will come with an interesting camera upgrade. The phone is expected to launch in late February 2026, and early leaks show that the camera could be one of its main highlights.
Tipster @UniverseIce has revealed that Samsung is adding a new 24MP photo mode to the phoneβs default camera app. This is not the 24MP option in Expert RAW. Instead, it is a simpler mode meant for everyday photography, which gives more detail than the standard 12MP mode without needing heavy editing.
This new 24MP mode works in Photo and Portrait modes. When a picture is taken, the phone takes about three seconds to process it. The final photo looks clean and natural, especially when taking pictures of people or bright scenes. In addition, issues like over-sharpening or purple edges are reduced.

Earlier, it was reported that the 24MP mode would not be on by default. Users had to go into Camera Assistant and turn it on in Advanced resolution options before it could be used in the camera app.
But new reports say Samsung has now added this 24MP mode directly to the default camera. This means users might not need to turn it on in the settings anymore.Β This feature will be exclusive to the Galaxy S26 series. Stay tuned for more information.
