Samsung forms HBM Development Team to catch up AI boom
HBM is a key element in the artificial intelligence market and data centers. Samsung is the world’s largest memory semiconductor supplier. To catch up with the AI boom, Samsung formed an HBM Development Team that will focus on specific tasks on HBM.
ETNews reports that Samsung established the HBM Development Team yesterday. To do so, the South Korean tech giant has carried out an organizational restructuring centered around the establishment of an HBM Development Team.
The priority task of Samsung’s HBM team is to increase competitiveness in the AI semiconductor market. The company has also decided that Vice President Young-Soo Sohn will lead the new HBM team. He is an expert in high-performance DRAM product design.
Earlier, the company divided development teams for HBM3, HBM3E, and HBM4. These separated team will now work under the same roof and leader. This would bring a significant push to Samsung’s HBM-related innovations and research and development.
One UI 6.1.1 with new AI features launches later tomorrow. Samsung is all set to host a mega Unpacked event on July 10 in Paris. Ahead of the official unveiling, it has been revealed that the AI Draw will be the most interesting feature of the One UI 6.1.1.
Tipster IceUniverse revealed that AI Draw will be the most interesting feature of One UI 6.1.1. The source specifically noted the Galaxy Z Fold 6, hinting that it would be an S Pen-powered function. Other than the feature’s name, the tipster hasn’t added any other info.
New Galaxy AI features are set to debut with the One UI 6.1.1. These functionalities will also be provided to some older models including the Galaxy S24 series. It is expected that the AI Draw feature will be limited to Galaxy phones that support S Pen stylus.
AI Draw may allow users to make drawings with the power of artificial intelligence. A custom sticker creator is expected to be offered within it. AI would also make it easier and more convenient to draw shapes and straight lines which is not easy with S Pen.
All the features of Galaxy Z Fold6 combined are not as interesting as the AI draw feature.

Many AI-assisted drawing tools are already out there in the market. You can start with a sketch or idea and the AI helps you refine it or complete it. It’s like a boon for those who have no professional drawing knowledge but want to utilize and learn through AI.
Samsung has pushed a new update for the Modes and Routines app with version 4.6.04.2 on One UI devices. The update improves some functions and fixes issues to provide a better Galaxy experience.
Users of the Galaxy devices need to download a 51.81MB package to install the update. Notably, the update is compatible with Galaxy devices running Android 12 to Android 14.
The new update provides smoother and better performance across the app’s various modes and routines. In addition, Samsung has focused on addressing known issues for a more stable and reliable app for its users.
For those who rely on Modes and Routines for automating tasks and customizing their Samsung devices, this update is essential. It aims to deliver a more user-friendly experience through regular updates and bug fixes.
To install the update, you just need to visit Galaxy Store >> Menu option >> Updates. Alternatively, you can also download the update through third-party app link mentioned here.
A few days ago, Samsung SmartThing brought the ability to share Routines with others. Now, users can easily collaborate by sharing their customized routines with family or friends.

One UI 6.1.1 will debut a new AI Smart Reply feature. Leaked material showcased that this feature would be available on upcoming Samsung smartwatches. However, the footnote mentions that the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Z Fold 6 will be only compatible with this feature.
AI Smart Reply feature will offer even more relevant reply suggestions to Galaxy smartwatch users. Galaxy AI would power this feature through the One UI 6 Watch operating system. Artificial Intelligence will ensure users will be offered worthy response suggestions.
Initially, Smart Reply will be available for Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Z Fold 6 owners. It is rumored that the company will expand One UI 6.1.1 features and enhancements to the Galaxy S24 series. The phone’s August update may also include an AI Smart Reply feature for Galaxy Watch models.
Samsung is seriously exploring artificial intelligence for mobile devices. Smart Reply comes out as a result of user-centric research and development. Smaller display makes it harder and inconvenient to send text messages or respond.
We guess One UI 6.1.1 Smart Reply will be a cloud-supported AI feature. You will need to pair your Galaxy Watch with a compatible Galaxy smartphone to use it. Samsung Account will also be required to perform processing of data on the cloud.
Apart from Smart Reply, consumers having S Pen-supported Galaxy devices will be shocked with new features. There are reports that the company has deeply integrated Galaxy’s S Pen in new Galaxy AI features so users can have most of their devices.
