What you need to know

• Google’s rolling out an update for Gmail that brings a new “Purchases” tab just in time for the holidays.
• This new tab will only display your purchases/orders and tracking information with the “Arriving Soon” section at the top like your inbox.
• Gmail is also updating its Promotions tab, adding a way for users to leverage what’s most important and “timely” offers quicker.

Google’s starting to roll out an update for Gmail that might make it easier to manage all those packages this holiday season.

There are two features on the way in this new update, as Google Keyword post explains those key details. Arriving in Gmail’s sidebar (in app and on PC), users will notice a new “Purchases” email label. Google states tapping Purchases will give you a “bird’s eye view of all your upcoming package deliveries in one simple, organized list.” From this view, users will find an “Arriving Soon” section at the top, similar to what you’d find in your primary inbox.

This is reserved for packages that should be delivered within the next 24 hours. Below that, users will find the list of emails containing those tracking details and order confirmation. This update is rolling out today (Sep 11) for all personal Gmail accounts, so keep your eye out for it.

Additionally, Google says the “Arriving Soon” section in your primary email, as well as tracking details within order emails themselves, will not leave.

The second update concerns Gmail’s “Promotions” tab. This tab will now offer a “nudge,” bringing up promotions and discounts that are timely, so you’re in the loop. More than that, a new sorting option, “Most Relevant,” is on the way, which Google says pushes Gmail to display promotions from brands you’re more likely to engage with. Users can sort by “most recent,” too, if you’re interested in just seeing the emails as they arrive.

Gmail for the holidays

Google, Gmail, and the holidays seem to be a regular thing as of late, as even last year, an update rolled out to help users avoid scams. The company implemented a new AI model in Gmail in December last year to determine what’s a scam and what isn’t. Google said its AI models were successful in blocking ~20% more scam attempts and are also reviewing 1,000 times more user-reported spam events.

These protections are still in place, and Google still encourages users to be vigilant on their own.

A Gemini update for Gmail arrived this year, making it way easier to take important dates and events from an email and put them into Calendar. If Google’s AI detects a date within an email, an “add to calendar” button will appear for convenience. The AI will automatically create an event centered around it, leaving you the choice of further editing that newly created event for clarity.

Bitcoin’s “address” is a bit of a false reputation. It would be better to call something along the line “Invoice Identifier”. Whenever you want to pay another party, we will generate a new address and tell you how to pay. When a transaction pays to an output script belonging to an address, you will see that the corresponding party has paid you. The payments will then be displayed in the (Receive) tab, and the wallet will track the new transaction output that the wallet can spend on future transactions.

Transactional output cannot be partially used. It can only be used entirely. If you want to make a payment, but only have a larger amount of transaction output, the wallet will create a transaction with one input and two outputs. One output to pay the recipient and another output to return to yourself from the transaction output using the remaining funds. This second transaction output is called a Change the output.

Alice has one transaction output equivalent to 1 BTC and I want to send BOB 0.1 BTC.

    Inputs             Outputs
 ----------------------------------
                     Bob 0.1 BTC
  Alice 1 BTC   ↦ 
                     Alice 0.9 BTC ⇐ Change output

The change output is sent directly from the wallet to a new output script generated by the wallet. Because they did not “claim” other parties, the wallet will not surface the “invoice identifier” on the tabs they received. However, the change output is part of the wallet’s funds, contributing to the balance. Like other funds, change output can be used to spend on your wallet. After contributing to balance, the change output will be displayed on an advanced screen such as: Joint trolls A window for manually funding. As far as I know, all actions are working as intended. There is no need to move funds from the change output to the new address.

What you need to know

• Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra reportedly raced through Geekbench’s performance test with MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400 Plus SoC.
• Despite the stronger chip, the tablet supposedly score “lower” than phones; however, it features 12GB RAM and Android 16 (One UI 8).
• Previous Tab S11 series leaks claim Samsung will return the base model and drop the Plus, while also giving the Ultra a slightly bigger battery.

Amid all the Samsung leaks as of late, a recent one claims that the company’s upcoming Ultra tablet has appeared in a benchmark database.

Spotted by the folks at Gizmochina, the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra has reportedly run through Geekbench for its performance test checks and balances. This appearance was likely for its rumored chip, which the leak claims is MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400 Plus SoC. Strangely, the publication reports the tablet scored “lower than smartphones” with MediaTek’s flagship chip.

The Geekbench listing reportedly states the S11 Ultra achieved a score of 5,312 in its multi-core test and 1,420 in the single-core run.

There were some smaller specs posted in the listing, like the existence of Android 16 and 12GB of RAM. Still no word on its internal storage; however, there’s a chance Samsung could pop 256GB in it to match that 12GB of RAM, like the Tab S10 Ultra.

An Ultra Look

The latest Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra leaks bring new information forward while also switching up the narrative on a key specification: its SoC of choice. In a previous leak, the tablet was rumored to receive MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400 SoC from late last year. This chip was the company’s flagship response to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite. However, what this alleged Geekbench listing purports is the brand’s updated (and upgraded) variant.

The Dimensity 9400 Plus offers a Big Core design with one Arm Cortex-X925 core at 3.73GHz. The company was adamant during its launch that this chip could “propel” users’ experience with Android UX. What’s more, the chip is paired with the 12-core Arm Immortalis-G925 GPU for “PC-like” graphical features on Android phones.

The SoC launched in April, and it seems Samsung could opt for this leveled-up version of MediaTek’s flagship prowess.

Other Galaxy Tab S11 series rumors claim Samsung will drop the Plus model in 2025, bringing back its base model, which was absent last year. While the base model could see a familiar 8,160mAh battery, the Ultra model might jump 500mAh to ~11,374mAh.

Speculation claims Samsung might hold onto its next flagship tablet series until after its summer Unpacked. This means we might not see them until the fall at the latest.
