They’re the ocean’s top predators, hunting down everything from great white sharks to blue whales—the largest animal in the world. But orcas aren’t born killers. It’s a skill they learn from their elders and, as new evidence suggests, practice on each other.

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR The Galaxy S26 Ultra may have the same sensor for its main camera as last year. However, a rumor suggests that the sensor will have a wider f/1.4 aperture. The wider aperture could improve low-light imaging. We’re still far out from the release of the Galaxy S26 series; Samsung hasn’t even launched the Galaxy S25 FE yet.

Intel, Not AMD, Could Be the Secret to Kickass Next-Gen Handheld PCs

Intel is an empire past its prime and is beset on all sides.

The way forward could be with a newfound gaming focus on its next-gen chips. Its desktop CPUs may be getting a gamer-centric upgrade, but the real surprise may be how it could win out in a market it has yet to truly compete in: handheld gaming.
