On average by 25% Samsung is going to raise prices for image sensors for mobile devices. [caption id="attachment_85089" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Samsung[/caption] System LSI is the world's second largest manufacturer of image sensors for mobile cameras, after Sony. Therefore, increasing prices for ISOCELL sensors will affect many manufacturers. Samsung will significantly increase the prices of its ISOCELL image sensors for smartphones Moreover, prices will be raised significantly: on average by 25%, and in some cases the increase will exceed 30%. Apparently, this will primarily affect sensors with a resolution of 32 megapixels and higher, that is, mid-budget and top-end models. Next year, the smartphone market is expected to return to growth, and Samsung apparently wants to make money on it in this way. At the same time, other market players may well follow the example of the Korean giant.

Probably from 2024 or 2025 Samsung may abandon the Exynos brand, replacing it with another. [caption id="attachment_84961" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Samsung[/caption] According to insider OreXda, who previously announced the formation of the Samsung MX department before the company's official announcement, the Exynos brand will be replaced by Dream Chip. It's also worth noting that Revegnus has previously said that the Exynos 2400 will likely be Samsung's last Exynos-branded SoC. Will Samsung finally abandon the Exynos brand? The new name was apparently chosen as Samsung was assembling a Dream Team to develop a completely new single-chip system for its future flagship smartphones. It is now believed that this will be Exynos 2500. More precisely, if the new data is correct, then the platform that would have been called Exynos 2500 will now be called differently. The departure from the Exynos brand itself is quite logical, given the reputation of these platforms that has formed in recent years. [Updated] Samsung has commented on the rumors. It turned out they were only partly true. The name Dream Chip (or simply Dream) actually exists as an internal project name. Probably a project to develop Exynos 2500. But at the same time, the Korean giant is not going to give up the Exynos brand.
