It fell by 78% As expected, Samsung Electronics today, October 11, reported its results for the third quarter of this year. The world's largest maker of memory chips, smartphones, and TVs confirmed operating profit was $1.79 billion, down 78% from a year earlier. By comparison, operating income in the third quarter of last year was $8 billion. But that was slightly more than the $1.56 billion that analysts had expected. Samsung admits multiple drops in profits Samsung Electronics had sales of $50 billion in the same period, down 13% over the past year. [caption id="attachment_65113" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Samsung[/caption] The company did not provide detailed divisional data, but analysts previously said that Samsung's chip division, traditionally Samsung's biggest source of revenue, was unprofitable last quarter, while Samsung's mobile business led the way.

Future Galaxy smartphones may be updated for 7 years Google set a new standard for smartphone software support when it announced that the latest Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro will be updated for 7 years. As it turns out, Samsung is now working on something similar. Shin-Chul Baik, chief engineer and manager of the Mobile Experience division, spoke about this at the Samsung developer conference. [caption id="attachment_64556" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Samsung[/caption] Samsung wants to further extend the software support period for its smartphones It should be noted right away that we are not talking about guaranteed seven Android updates. Shin-Chul Bike is part of the team responsible for the security of mobile devices. He said Samsung is actively discussing how it can extend security updates beyond the five years of support that Samsung currently guarantees for some of its devices. Here you need to understand one thing: Samsung is not Google. She doesn’t have two or three smartphones in the current line, but about a hundred. But there are also old ones and tablets. The company ends up releasing more than 10 billion updates every year, and Samsung has invested heavily in making this possible. Thus, in the future, perhaps Samsung will indeed increase the software support period for its smartphones, but it will most likely look like this: 5 years of Android updates and another 2 years of security updates.  

ISOCELL HW optical format will be 1 inch An insider known on Twitter (X) under the nickname Revegnus has revealed details about Samsung's future image sensors. It turns out that the company is preparing two sensors with a resolution of 432 megapixels at once! [caption id="attachment_64111" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Samsung[/caption] It seems that numerous tests have long shown that photo quality is not directly dependent on the number of megapixels (Apple can explain this especially well), but Samsung believes otherwise. Samsung doesn't know the megapixel war is over? The new sensors will be presented as part of the ISOCELL HW line. There will be two models: ISOCELL HW1 and ISOCELL HW2. The resolution in both cases is the same, 432 megapixels, but the diagonal of the sensor is slightly different and, accordingly, the pixel size is different: HW1 - 1/1.05 inches and 0.56 microns, HW2 - 1/1.07 inches and 0.5 microns. [caption id="attachment_64112" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Samsung[/caption] It’s hard to say whether ISOCELL HW sensors will be better than Sony’s inch sensors. If they can capture more light, there may be a breakthrough. But Sony is not sitting idle either. Revegnus also reported that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will receive a 50-megapixel ISOCELL GN3 as the main one, and the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will use a completely new (and not yet officially presented) HP5 sensor. As the name suggests, the HP5 will be a significantly improved version of the current 200-megapixel HP3. Insider Revegnus was the first to publish a photo of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 before its release and also described the characteristics of the Exynos 2400, which were then confirmed in Geekbench software.

But the competitors of the Galaxy S24 will be built on the much more powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 According to rumors, Samsung will use its own Exynos 2400 single-chip system in the latest flagships Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24 Plus, and only the Galaxy S24 Ultra will receive the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. The Exynos 2400 premiere may take place today, but the result of the first test of the platform has already appeared on the Internet, and, judging by it, the new Samsung platform will not even reach the level of the current Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. [caption id="attachment_63778" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Samsung[/caption] Samsung, is this a flagship platform? True, so far there is only a test of the Exynos 2400 GPU. In the Powerboard 4.0 benchmark, the Samsung Galaxy S24 built on the Exynos 2400 scored 1656 points, and the Galaxy S23 scored 1746 points in the same benchmark. [caption id="attachment_63779" align="aligncenter" width="541"] Samsung[/caption] Yes, you can make an allowance for the fact that the final version of the Exynos 2400 has not yet been tested, but we are talking about future flagships that will receive a much more powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. So the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24 Plus may be noticeably inferior in performance compared to other top 2024 models.

The presentation will take place on October 4 Samsung India has confirmed that the presentation of new products will take place on October 4 this year. The image contains three cameras and is accompanied by the text The New Epic. Samsung hasn't mentioned the name of the smartphone, but it is expected to be the Galaxy S23 FE. [caption id="attachment_62471" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Samsung[/caption] Samsung India has also released a teaser of the new Galaxy Tab, which is expected to be the Galaxy Tab S9 FE. Additionally, Amazon has also updated its promotional page to show off the Galaxy Buds FE. Both new products will be launched in India on October 4 along with the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE. Samsung announced a new “epic” Galaxy smartphone and tablet Previously, MySmartPrice received information about prices for the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE in the US, which will cost $599, and the Galaxy Buds FE headphones will be offered for $99. [caption id="attachment_62472" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Samsung[/caption] According to rumors, the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE will be equipped with a 6.4-inch AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 60 to 120 Hz and a peak brightness of 1450 cd/ m2. The smartphone will be equipped with a Samsung Exynos 2200 single-chip system in the global market and Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in the US and Canadian markets. The equipment will include 8 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 128 GB/256 GB of UFS3.1 flash memory.

Commissioned by Tenstorrent Samsung's contract chip manufacturing division has a new customer in the form of a Canadian startup called Tenstorrent, which develops chips with artificial intelligence technologies. Tenstorrent is among several startups trying to compete with Nvidia, which dominates the AI ​​chip market. The company makes chips for data centers but is also working to supply other markets, including automotive. Samsung will release the latest Quasar chips to compete with Nvidia [caption id="attachment_62210" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Samsung[/caption] As part of the deal, Tenstorrent plans to use one of Samsung's advanced manufacturing processes (4nm) to produce chips. Some of Tenstorrent's chips are built using technology known as RISC-V, an open-source semiconductor architecture that competes with Arm and x86. However, the chip that Samsung will produce is called Quasar and is not based on RISC-V technology. “Tenstorrent's goal is to develop high-performance computing and deliver those solutions to customers around the world,” Tenstorrent CEO Jim Keller said in a statement. Legendary processor designer Jim Keller joined Tenstorrent as CTO in December 2020 and became CEO in January 2023.

Production starts at the end of the year Samsung introduced DDR5 RAM chips with a capacity of 32 Gbit, that is, a capacity of 4 GB. [caption id="attachment_51912" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Samsung[/caption] Samsung has developed a 32Gb DDR5 chip that will allow the creation of 128GB RAM modules Such microcircuits will allow the creation of 128 GB RAM modules. It is known that we are talking about using a 12-nanometer class process technology. Mass production of such microcircuits is planned for the end of this year, that is, 128 GB modules may appear as early as the beginning of next year. Samsung also notes in its press release that since 1983, DRAM capacity has increased 500,000 times. The same Samsung developed its first RAM chips with a capacity of 64 KB in 1983.
