Some suggest that the Exynos 2600 application processor (AP), produced by Samsung Foundry using its 2nm GAA technology, will be the driving force behind the majority of the Samsung Galaxy S26 models, including the Galaxy S26 Ultra in certain regions. Previously, Samsung Foundry encountered challenges with the yield of its 3nm production, resulting in a shortage of Exynos 2500 APs for the Galaxy S25 series. The standard Samsung Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra models are all equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor.

ASUS has officially posted a teaser image of an Android 4.2 Jelly Bean upgrade for its flagship ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity TF700 on their Facebook page. As it goes live anytime from now, users will receive some features that is mostly like from earlier 4.2.1 release of the Transformer Pad TF300 such as Virtual Keyboard, Lock Screen, Setup Wizard, App Locker, a switchable home-screen launcher from 4.1 to 4.2 option. This update will be push via OTA (over the air), so owners will just simply hit the tablet's 'Update Now' button as soon as the notification message arrives. If you ain't seeing this update, better head over to your Transformer Pad TF700 Settings> About Device> Check for update.
In addition, for those who have been modified their devices such as rooted and with custom recovery from 4.1.1 might take extra precautions before installing any 4.2.1 OTA update. If you're Transformer Pad currently runs with CWM recovery just be aware that ASUS has implemented their latest 4.2 firmware with a newboot loader that seems to have changed the type of partitions it wants to use.
There are certain reports the risk to brick the device if loaded with wrong combination of custom recovery.
For now, the only recovery that is safe to work with latest 4.2.1 OTA update is TWRP 2.4.4.0.
