BREAKING: Samsung Exynos 2600 Benchmarked
Samsung Exynos 2600 engineering sample has surfaced on Geekbench, manufactured by Samsung Foundry on its 2nm process and it may power the Galaxy S26 series.
CPU:
• 1x Cortex- X930 @ 3.55GHz
• 3x Cortex- A730 @ 2.96GHz
• 6x Cortex- A730 2.46GHz
Thus, a deca-core chip of 1+3+6 configuration. The most interesting part is that, all the cores are either medium or high performance cores, thus Exynos 2600 will completely ditch the useless little cores.
Geekbench 6.4 scores
Single-core: 2810
Multi-core: 9310
Samsung Exynos 2600 will feature the Samsung Xclipse 960 GPU. The GPU performance has also been benchmarked on OpenCL
OpenCL score: 21104
Vulkan version: 1.4.304
Interestingly, the OpenCL results shows that there are just 4CU (compute units) and the GPU was running at 555MHz clock speed. Meanwhile, the Xclipse 950 in the Exynos 2500 GPU has 8 CU and it runs at 1GHz clock speed.
Note: Nothing is final as of now as it is quite an early sample being benchmarked and it's likely tested in a controlled environment. Also, it's unknown if Exynos 2600 will debut or not because it depends upon Samsung Foundry's yield improvements.

BREAKING: EU age verification app to ban any Android system not licensed by Google
Reddit
The EU is currently developing a whitelabel app to perform privacy-preserving (at least in theory) age verification to be adopted and personalized in the coming months by member states. The app is open source and available here: https://github.com/eu-digital-identity-wallet/av-app-android-wallet-ui.
Problem is, the app is planning to include remote attestation feature to verify the integrity of the app: https://github.com/eu-digital-identity-wallet/av-app-android-wallet-ui?tab=readme-ov-file#disclaimer. This is supposed to provide assurance to the age verification service that the app being used is authentic and running on a genuine operating system. Genuine in the case of Android means:
• The operating system was licensed by Google
• The app was downloaded from the Play Store (thus requiring a Google account)
• Device security checks have passed
While there is value to verify device security, this strongly ties the app to many Google properties and services, because those checks won't pass on an aftermarket Android OS, even those which increase security significantly like GrapheneOS, because the app plans to use Google "Play Integrity", which only allows Google licensed systems instead of the standard Android attestation feature to verify systems.
This also means that even though you can compile the app, you won't be able to use it, because it won't come from the Play Store and thus the age verification service will reject it.
The issue has been raised here https://github.com/eu-digital-identity-wallet/av-app-android-wallet-ui/issues/10 but no response from team members as of now.
In short: You can only be a full citizen of the EU if you accept the ToS from Google.

Xiaomi 15 Ultra, unlocked bootloader. Toughening the unlocking policy doesn't mean banning unlocking...for now.

Xiaomi Downgrade Appointments Turning Into Sprint Practice
In China, Xiaomi made bootloader unlock requirements so ridiculous that users are now booking downgrade appointments, waiting for the technician to flash firmware, and then grabbing their phones mid-process and running out the door – sometimes literally on electric scooters.
Why? Because once it’s flashed and before it relocks, the bootloader is temporarily open – and that's the only chance to escape Xiaomi’s UBL prison without having Level 5 community status, quiz passes, and a handshake from Lei Jun himself.
Most of them brick the phone after anyway. But hey, freedom.
Also, A Dude bought a Xiaomi 14 not knowing bootloader unlock is locked behind quizzes, high community level, and limited slots.
He booked a downgrade at service, waited for the BL to be temporarily open mid-flash – then snatched his phone, said “sorry,” and ran out.
Electric scooter was parked outside 💀
