Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra pics spotted – but you may be disappointed

Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S9 series is expected to arrive at some point in the next few months, and we’ve just been treated to some renders of the S9 Ultra tablet.

This is largest tablet in the next-gen Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 family, with a 14-inch screen that Samsung hopes will make you think of the device as a worthy alternative to the best laptops in 2023.

These new renders come courtesy of OnLeaks on Twitter (a well-known leaker) and MySmartPrice (as first spotted by GSMArena). Check them out below:

In short, the Tab S9 Ultra looks pretty sharp, but the overall design remains much the same as its predecessor tablet from last year.

You have a 14.6-inch AMOLED screen (featuring a resolution of 2960 x 1848-pixels, just the same as the S8 Ultra), and that notch is still present on the front, playing host to two cameras.

Matters have been switched up a bit around the back of the tablet, with the rear cameras looking neater, having been separated out with their own metal surrounds (rather than all being housed in one rather clunky, pill-shaped panel).

The size of the tablet remains the same (326 x 208 x 5.5mm), although the weight is slightly heavier this time round, at 737 grams (compared to 726 grams – so realistically, you won’t notice any difference).

We’re also told that the Tab S9 Ultra will come with an 11,200mAh battery, again sticking to the template laid down by the S8 Ultra. And, as previously rumored, it will offer 45W fast charging.

Analysis: Notching things up

While initial reactions to these renders are fairly positive on the whole, there are some rumblings about a lack of change. Specifically, there's some disappointment that the notch is still present. The notch is a very controversial design element, of course, but in the case of a tablet as big as the S9 Ultra, it’s hardly a big issue.

Indeed, in our Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra review, we observed barely noticing the notch – because the screen real-estate is so roomy, it really doesn’t cut into the experience (so to speak). On a smaller screen, it’s much more noticeable, of course.

OnLeaks has already shared renders of the Galaxy Tab S9 Plus, and similarly high-quality images at that, which lends this latest bit of spillage a little more weight.

The rumor mill contends that Samsung will unleash the new Galaxy Tab S9 models soon enough, likely in a late July or August launch alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5. Just brace yourself for the price, because this giant-sized tablet will be an expensive proposition, no doubt.

Garmin's new radar-equipped tail light will keep you safe on your e-bike

Garmin's Varia bike radars are some of the most popular pieces of cycling tech around – and now the company has delivered its first rearview radar to have been specially designed for some of the best e-Bikes .   Garmin's Varia range mounts to the back of your bike and broadcasts a radar signal behind you, so you can get visual and audible alerts when something's overtaking you. Even better, the new Varia eRTL615 plugs directly into most e-bikes, with no battery required. Because the catchily-named Varia eRTL615 is also a tail light, it'll also make sure you're visible to other vehicles too, promising to emit a flashing or solid light that's visible from up to a mile away in daylight. To connect Garmin's new radar tail light to your e-bike, you'll need to pick the right Garmin adapter cable (which isn't included). You can buy power cables compatible with Bosch, Shimano, or USB-A terminals or connections, with more info on those available on Garmin...

Hackers steal passwords, emails from hookup websites

Two gay hookup websites have been breached with sensitive and personal user data stolen and sold online, new reports have claimed. The databases, which are now being sold on dark web forums, were taken from platforms called TruckerSucker, and CityJerks. They contain enough personally identifiable information to engage in identity theft , such as usernames and passwords, email addresses, profile pictures, sexual preferences, birth dates, postal addresses, IP addresses, and bios. The passwords are encrypted, but according to TechCrunch, the algorithm is “weak” and could be broken by a more persistent hacker. The silent treatment HaveIBeenPwned founder Troy Hunt, who was tipped off on the leak, described the incident as a “typical forum breach, albeit with super sensitive content.”  However the content includes more than just identity data, as there are also messages users exchanged, including arranging meetings and describing their sexual preferences.  In total, more than...
