It’s worth mentioning that Samsung is creating this chipset for the 2025’S Galaxy S25 series phones. The company has already assembled a “Dream Team” for the project that is suggested to be built using Samsung Foundry’s second or third-generation 3nm GAA fabrication process.
Earlier information also claims that the Samsung Galaxy S25 series’ Exynos chipset will use a tri-cluster, nine-core CPU in a 4-4-1 configuration with four Cortex-X cores, four Cortex-A7xx cores, and one Cortex-A5xx core.
As of now, the company has decided not to bring the Exynos processor to its Galaxy S23 series due to its low performance compared to Snapdragon and the same could be the case with next year’s Galaxy S24.
Samsung Exynos chip development status will be an interesting topic at the Galaxy Unpacked. Let’s see how the Korean company will improve its Exynos processor in these years.

Google Messages adds waveforms to Voice Recorder UI

Google Messages is getting a new look for its voice recorder UI. The microphone icon in the text field will change to a waveform icon, which is different from the voice typing button in Gboard.
Instead of holding down the mic to record, you will now see a panel with a start/stop button and options to cancel, delete, or attach the recording. You will also see a waveform and a timer while recording, and you can play back the recording before sending it.
The voice messages preview will also show a waveform between the play/pause button and the timer, making it more noticeable than the current straight line.
These changes are not widely available yet, but some users have reported seeing them on their phones. These new changes are part of a bigger redesign that Google is working on for Messages, which includes a revamped home screen that is still in beta testing. Google might announce new features soon.
