Pixel 10 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra: Can Google’s AI Flagship Beat Samsung’s Best?

Detailed Comparison Design and Build Quality Google’s Pixel 10 Pro embraces a familiar design language – an aluminum and glass slab with a prominent horizontal camera bar across the back. Visually, it’s “an evolutionary rather than a revolutionary step” from last year phonearena.com. The corners are slightly rounded, and the overall look remains minimalist and unmistakably Pixel. Build quality is top-notch with IP68 water resistance and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on front and back androidauthority.com. One new twist (literally) is hidden under the rear panel: Pixelsnap magnets integrated for accessories and chargers, analogous to Apple’s MagSafe. This means the Pixel

6G Terahertz Showdown: Samsung’s 140 GHz Testbed vs. Qualcomm’s 6G Foundry in the 0.3 THz Race

6G Terahertz Showdown: Samsung’s 140 GHz Testbed vs. Qualcomm’s 6G Foundry in the 0.3 THz Race

The June 2021 Samsung-UCSB demonstration achieved 6.2 Gbps real-time throughput at 140 GHz over 15 meters using 2 GHz of bandwidth and a 128-element phased-array. Samsung notes terahertz wideband channels could eventually support Tbps peak speeds and cut air latency to one-tenth of 5G’s. Samsung obtained FCC approval in late 2021 to trial 6G transmissions in the 133–148 GHz band at its Texas lab. Qualcomm’s 6G Foundry is a broad R&D program spanning spectrum, waveforms, AI-native networking, and integrated sensing, not a single device. Qualcomm demonstrated 50–70% capacity gains in legacy FDD bands through waveform evolution and MIMO without changing

Bridging 5G and Space: Inside France 2030’s End-to-End NTN Pilot With Dual LEO Satellites

France 2030, launched in 2021 as a €30 billion investment plan, prioritizes converging 5G with space through end-to-end NTN pilots. The European Commission’s IRIS² programme, approved in 2022, will deploy hundreds of satellites (about 270 LEO and 18 MEO) and be fully operational by 2030, with Eutelsat as a prime contractor. In early 2025, Eutelsat announced the world’s first 5G NTN trial using the OneWeb LEO constellation at ~1200 km altitude, linking a standard 5G signal to the core network. The pilot used Airbus-built LEO satellites, a MediaTek 5G-NTN test chipset, an ITRI prototype gNB, and a Sharp phased-array antenna,
