Most of the Samsung Galaxy S26 Models Expected To Be Powered by Exynos 2600

By
  The speculation has been widespread. 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. This marks a shift from previous models, such as the Galaxy S24 series, which used both Snapdragon and Samsung's own Exynos chipsets, depending on the region.  While during Qualcomm's recent earnings call following the release of its fiscal Q4 earnings, the company said that it expected its new Snapdragon chip to be found in 75 percent of the Galaxy S26 handsets. Qualcomm said that it used to expect to get 50 pe...

New 4.1.2 OTA update on Verizon Galaxy S3 I535VRBLMD3 with Full Premium Suite Packaged

By
The Multi-Window feature is finally added on this latest Verizon Galaxy S3's OTA update with baseband version I535VRBLMD3. Aside from the Multi Screen it also brings and comes-up with a lot more newer features and enhancements. Many Galaxy S3 users have been receiving this update earlier today, and it took around 129.1MB in size to download this VRBMD3 update. Some users gets updating failure issues due to the fact that their device has root before but there are few folks who also successfully installed the update even if they got a rooted Galaxy S3 i535.

I just tried to take the OTA with CWM and it worked for me - here's what I did:
(not sure if this step was really necessary) Install project voodo's OTA Root Keeper, backup root, remove root

Accept the OTA when promoted, phone reboots into CWM recovery, select Yes to install unverified update
Let CWM apply the update, takes ~5minutes or so, it finishes with no errors, select 'Reboot Phone'
CWM prompts that the rom update may install default recovery and prompts to disable, select 'Yes' to keep CWM
Phone reboots, 'Upgrading Android, updating app M of N..." appears after boot for a few minutes
About Phone shows new MD3 baseband version and build number
I did just get an error about the update being unsuccessful, but everything appears as though it were successful
Press/hold back key to get multi-window tray works fine, etc...
Launch OTA Root Keeper and restore root...

But there is one guy isn't lucky enough and ended up into soft-bricks;

i think i might of bricked my phone... i am rooted and stock, was able to download the update but when phone went to reboot, comes up with yellow triangle and mess "system software not authorized by verizon wireless has been found on your phone. please turn off and go to nearest store." anyone know what i can do?????

So, just be careful updating if you have gone root your phone previously. More about this stories from XDA-developers forum.

Paint On Galaxy Z Fold7 Phones Is Already Peeling Off, According To Consumers

By
The paint chipping issue reported by some Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 users appears to be a recurring problem that was also seen with the Z Fold 6. Despite users claiming they have not dropped their devices, paint delamination is occurring on the anodized aluminum body. Samsung’s support page for the Z Fold 6 suggests that poorly grounded third-party chargers can cause leakage currents, damaging the anodized finish and leading to paint chipping. This is why Samsung advises using only official chargers. However, since at least one affected user on Reddit reported using an official 25W Samsung charger, it raises concerns that the problem might not be solely due to third-party chargers. It could indicate potential issues with Samsung’s paint application process or possibly that their chargers might not fully prevent this damage under certain conditions. Received the phone and been using for almost a week. Treated the phone like a baby but the paint seems to start peeling off (sort of) day by ...
