Another week down, so let’s take a look at the top stories. Samsung’s Galaxy A34 and A54 have finally been unveiled. The duo, which is set to be among the most popular phones of the year, has 1080p 120Hz Super AMOLED displays, 5,000mAh batteries with 25W charging, and IP67 water resistance. The Galaxy A54 has a smaller 6.4-inch display, a 50MP main camera and a 5nm Exynos 1380 chipset. The A34 has a 6.6-inch display, a 48MP main camera, a 6nm Dimension 1080. Both are on sale: the Galaxy A54 starts at €490, while the A34 costs €390.
We’ve had a lot of leaks from Google this week. The Pixel 7a has been handled in the wild and has even been listed for sale on eBay as a prototype. It has a 6.1-inch display, 8GB of RAM, a Tensor G2 chipset, and a 64MP main camera plus a 12MP ultrawide. The Pixel 7a will launch in June alongside the Google Pixel Fold, which we learned will cost €1,700.
We also got a look at the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro via leaked renders. The new design is more rounded at the corners, moving from a boxy look to a curvier one. Camera Island is different, if unmistakably Pixel. The Pixel 8 Pro is said to have a 6.52-inch display, smaller than the Pixel 7 Pro’s 6.7-inch display. The Pixel 7 will have a 5.8-inch display, smaller than the Pixel 7 Pro’s 6.3-inch Pixels 7.
Qualcomm has announced the Snapdragon 7+ gen 2. The Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 promises substantial improvements in terms of performance and energy efficiency. The main Kryo CPU core is clocked at 2.91GHz and the full 1+3+4 CPU package offers over a 50% performance increase over the SD7 Gen 1. An unnamed Adreno GPU, d’ on the other hand, it boasts a 2x performance boost. The efficiency gains are a little more modest: 13% in various scenarios. We hope this chipset makes it to more phones than its predecessor.
