Windows 11 Insider update adds built-in speed test and more enhancements

Microsoft's Windows 11 Insider builds 26100.7918 (24H2) and 26200.7918 (25H2) introduce a built-in network speed test accessible from the taskbar or Quick Settings, using a browser–powered Ookla test via Bing for Ethernet, Wi‑Fi, and mobile connections. The release also adds optional System Monitor integration, Emoji Update 16.0, native WebP desktop backgrounds, pan/tilt controls for compatible webcams, broader archive support, full‑screen widget settings, and performance tweaks for recovery, storage searches, and the Windows Update page, with a gradual rollout to users.

Windows 11 adds a quick taskbar speed test for Insiders via Bing

Microsoft is testing a Windows 11 feature that adds a taskbar button to launch a network speed test via Bing (backed by Ookla). The tool is available to Windows 11 Insiders in the Release Preview channel and shows download/upload speeds and latency after testing. While convenient, it currently redirects to Bing rather than running entirely in-system, and some users may prefer a fully integrated, in‑OS speed test like Ookla’s Speedtest before a broader release.

"T-Mobile Breaks 5G Uplink Speed Record with 'Superhighway' Expansion"

T-Mobile has achieved a record-breaking uplink speed test of 345 Mbps on its 5G SA network using a novel network technology called Uplink Transmit (UL Tx) switching, which is expected to expand its "5G superhighway" with faster lanes and spare capacity. This technology leverages carrier aggregation and SU-MIMO to deliver uplink speeds 25% faster than previous records. The improved uplink performance will benefit content creators, remote work, gaming, and AR/VR experiences, but there's no specific timeline for its implementation for T-Mobile customers.

Despite Samsung's handset keeping pace with Apple's flagship, the iPhone's better app optimization on iOS likely contributed to its victory. However, the Galaxy S24 Ultra showcased faster internal storage speeds, providing a silver lining for Samsung supporters.

Audi S8 Plus Dominates Autobahn with Blazing Top Speed

A video published by AutoTopNL shows a 2017 Audi S8 Plus reaching an indicated top speed of 195 mph (315 kph) on the Autobahn, surpassing its manufacturer-quoted limit of 189 mph (305 kph). With a twin-turbocharged V8 engine producing 605 horsepower, the S8 Plus demonstrated its potential for even higher speeds. The driver lifted off the accelerator not because the car couldn't go faster, but to slow down for other vehicles on the road. It is speculated that the car may not have an artificial limiter or that the speed was based on a different parameter within the vehicle.

iPhone 15 Pro Dominates Speed Tests, Changing the Smartphone Game

In a speed test comparing the Pixel 8 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro, the Pixel falls behind Apple's device. The test, conducted by PhoneBuff, involves opening apps and performing tasks to compare performance and app memory management. The Pixel initially takes the lead but falls behind in tasks such as video export. The iPhone finishes the test in 2 minutes and 48 seconds, while the Pixel finishes in 3 minutes and 28 seconds. The Pixel's slower performance is attributed to the less powerful Tensor G3 chip and Google's lag behind other Android flagships in terms of storage and processing power. However, the Pixel's performance in day-to-day use is still considered fast, and Google should consider improving the raw power of its chips for future releases.
