Weâve actually heard rumors of Samsung wanting to buy MediaTek chips for quite some time now, the last rumor came March of last year where a Manager of MediaTek alleged that Samsung was in talks with the chipmaker to source CPUs for Samsungâs lower to mid ranger smartphones, in particular, its Tizen-powered devices.
Nikkei reports that MediaTek Chairman Tsai Ming-kai recently participated at a tech conference and was asked to comment on the Samsung battery recall fiasco, to which he replied that it was ânot possible for [him] to commentâ¦â on these events, âas Samsung is a customer,â.
Currently, Samsung uses both its own (Samsung-manufactured) Exynos CPUs as well as Qualcommâs processors. Exynos chips are seen more in mid to lower tiered smartphones that Samsung makes.
Although he did not specifically mention what components the chipmaker is g oing to sell to Samsung, it looks like Samsung is looking to outsource its chips for a couple of possible reasons: Samsung wants to wean its dependence on Qualcomm, and at the same time, the company perhaps wants to dedicate its chip-making resources to manufacture Exynos chips for its higher end phones where MediaTek can fill the void of mid to low-ranger devices that would be left open.
If this were to happen, maybe we wouldnât see two variants of the same phone with two different chips (i.e. Snapdragon 820 and Exynos 8890 with this yearâs flagships: S7, S7 edge, and Note7). Samsungâs partnership with MediaTek could put the chipmaker on the map and increase its market share on a global scale.

Nokia, or rather its new HMD Global owner, turned a lot of heads at this years MWC and understandably so. The legendary Finnish brand came back with a bang and one that extends beyond the publicity stunt that is the resurrected Nokia 3310.
Premium looks and materials, a decent value-conscious balance of specs and a focus on a pure Android experience, all at a fairly reasonable price point - there is a lot to like about the new Nokia smartphone lineup. We have no doubt that the Nokia 3, 5 and 6 will all be enjoying quite a bit of popularity in the foreseeable future.
To make the deal even sweeter, HMD confirmed all three devices do support VoLTE. The information comes in an email from HMD and was a needed clarification. Even though both the Snapdragon 430 and Mediatek MT6737, powering the handsets, support VoLTE, there was no mention of it on the Nokia website, so questions of software-leve l support lingered.

Days before the official Honor 9 launch, a photo, claiming to be captured with the device, appeared on Weibo.
The photo is of the retail box of the Honor 9. The image itself contains the phones watermark in the lower left corner. Sadly the image is compressed through the Chinese social networkâs servers thus unfit for quality analysis whatsoever.
According to sources, the dual camera of the Honor 9 will have 20 MP and 12 MP sensor with the secondary camera able to capture wide-angle photos.
For all the info we have to wait until June 12 when is the official launch of the phone.

GoPro finally announced its first drone, the Karma, last September, following a teaser campaign that spanned many months. Unfortunately, after the first batch of around 2,500 units arrived in the hands of customers, GoPro discovered a big issue with the Karma - namely that it had the propensity to randomly lose power during use. Thats obviously not something you want your drone doing, so the company took the painful (but necessary) step of recalling all the drones it had sold, and halting sales of any other units until it fixed the problem.
That may have taken longer than expected, but it now looks like you can once again trust the Karma not to randomly stop working. A change in the battery clasp mechanism is GoPros solution for the issue. GoPro has started selling it again today.
For now, the drone will only be available in the US, from GoPros own online store as well as select other reta ilers. For international customers, the wait will be longer, with the company only mentioning a "spring" timeframe for the drones re-release in other countries.
As before, the Karma will cost $799 without a camera, or $1,099 with a GoPro Hero 5 Black. Theres a new Karma Core SKU that only includes the body, arms, and landing gear, eschewing the gimbal, controller, and backpack. This can be yours for $399, while the also new Karma Flight Kit bundle has everything but the grip and gimbal for $599.

NVIDIA has announced the much anticipated flagship of the GeForce series, the GTX 1080 Ti. Based on the same GP102 GPU as the Titan X (Pascal), the 1080 Ti promises to offer nearly the same gaming performance as NVIDIAs most powerful single GPU graphics card but at nearly half the price.
The 1080 Ti is closer to the Titan X than it is to the 1080. It takes the GP102 GPU from the Titan X but with two of the 30 SM units disabled. Both cards have the same number of CUDA cores at 3584, same 224 texture units and the same 12 billion transistors but the 1080 Ti has 88 ROP units compared to 96 on the Titan X. However, the 1080 Ti is clocked slightly higher at 1480MHz base clock and 1582MHz boost clock speed compared to the Titan X.
In terms of memory, the 1080 Ti has 11GB GDDR5X, one less than the Titan X. The memory interface width is also slightly lower at 352-bit instead of 384-bit. However, due to improvements and optimizations to the memory, the memory on the 1080 Ti is actually faster, with 11Gbps speed compared to 10Gbps on the Titan X and memory bandwidth of 484MB/s instead of 480MB/s.
The 1080 Ti is based on the same TSMC 16nm process and has a TDP of 250W, same as the Titan X.
The 1080 Ti features an improved thermal design with a radial fan and vapor chamber design. The removal of the DVI port on the side also means there is now a full slot for the fan to throw the heat outside. The 1080 Ti now includes three DisplayPort 1.4 and one HDMI 2.0b with an adapter for DVI provided in the packaging.
In terms of performance, NVIDIA claims the 1080 Ti is 35% faster than the 1080, making it the biggest improvement for a Ti card (980 Ti was 25% faster than 980 and 780 Ti was 18% faster than 780). Compared to the Titan X, there were no official figures revealed but its likely they are going to be neck and neck for the most parts.
The GTX 1080 Ti will be available worldwide from March 10 for a price of $699 for the Founders Edition and OEM versions, with pre-orders starting March 2. There will be no separate standard and Founders Edition versions this time with NVIDIA making its best available at the standard edition price instead.
In other news, the GTX 1080 is receiving a price drop, from $599 for the standard OEM version to $499. Moreover, the 1080 and 1060 will now also benefit from the faster memory on the 1080 Ti, with the 1080 getting 11Gbps GDDR5X from the previous 10 and the 1060 getting 9Gbps GDDR5 from the previous 8. OEMs will have the choice to include these memory upgrades in their cards and sell them as "factory overclocked".
