Samsung Galaxy S24 August 2024 security update India

Samsung is rumored to bring 16GB RAM to the Galaxy S25 Ultra. It’s going to be a big upgrade over the recently released flagship phones by Samsung. Meanwhile, it shows the company is taking a U-turn on its decision to reduce the RAM, starting with the S22 Ultra.

Chinese vendors continue to increase RAM on their flagships. Samsung has either reduced or stuck with the same configuration. Well, a major shift seems to be loading, with Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra being equipped with 16GB RAM, keeping the base storage unchanged.

X user Sawyer Galox claims that the Galaxy S25 Ultra could have increased RAM than the S24 Ultra. The input is based on what specifications are being tested on the prototype model. Notably, Samsung’s S20 Ultra and S21 Ultra debuted 16GB RAM variants.

Starting with the Galaxy S22 Ultra, the South Korean tech giant has reduced the RAM to 12GB. This continued with the Galaxy S23 Ultra and Galaxy S24 Ultra. As Gemini Nano v2 is also rumored to be available in the next flagships, more RAM may be required.

Apart from this, a new design language is expected to be introduced with the Galaxy S25 series. After following its signature design from the Galaxy S22 Ultra, the company’s next Ultra flagship would finally bring a much-anticipated design refresh.

As far as other specifications are concerned, an upgraded display with 3000 nits of peak brightness and Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 for Galaxy will likely come. The camera department may also be enhanced with the arrival of enhanced image sensors.

  • Factory 2 primarily produces battery packs for Stellantis PHEVs, such as the Jeep Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe.

Camera Sensor

Samsung is exploring advanced sensor-shift image stabilization (OIS) camera tech for future Galaxy phones. The company recently filed a patent application related to image stabilization technology for mobile devices in South Korea.

The latest Samsung patent suggests work on the sensor-shift image stabilization (OIS) camera is underway. However, Apple iPhone-like sensor shift camera tech is far from arriving on Samsung’s Galaxy smartphones.

The patent entitled “Actuator for optical image stabilization and camera module including the same” describes how less force is required to stabilize the sensor itself. This allows for a more precise correction of the sensor position.

The patent document shows that Samsung is continuing to develop its ideas and methods for sensor-shift image stabilization. The absence of such cameras is not a sign that the company has abandoned the idea.

Samsung has been working on sensor-shift image stabilization for years. The company aims to upgrade the Galaxy camera capabilities in the future. The sensor-shift stabilization offers a sharper image by moving the camera sensor.

Previously, patents related to sensor-shift telephoto camera surfaced. However, the Korean tech giant hasn’t commercialized the technology. The patent was published recently, but doesn’t mean we will be seeing this upgrade in the Galaxy S25 series.

The development suggests that Samsung won’t include it on Galaxies till an advanced variant evolves. As the exploration continues, sensor-shift OIS feature remains in hope for the future of Galaxy smartphone segment.

Samsung officially confirmed its teaming up with Qualcomm and Google for XR devices. Now, Qualcomm CEO revealed that the company is working with Samsung and Google to develop mixed-reality smart glasses.

According to the info, Samsung is working on portable mixed-reality smart glasses in collaboration with Qualcomm. Not XR headset, the company’s first extended reality product could be smart glasses with AI for new experiences.

Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon shared new details about Samsung’s upcoming XR product. In an interview to CNBC, Amon confirmed the collab with Samsung will result in “a new product” that offers “new experiences.”

Beyond that, he hinted that this product will likely be a pair of XR smart glasses, not a headset. Just opposite to Apple’s approach, Samsung and Qualcomm aimed to create XR smart glasses that would be portable and easy to carry around.

“I want everyone who has a phone to go buy companion glasses to go along with it,” Amon said. “We need to reach a point where wearing smart glasses feels no different from wearing regular glasses or sunglasses. Only then can we achieve true scale,” he added.

The XR smart glasses could debut later this year, featuring artificial intelligence. Samsung and Qualcomm reportedly aiming to make XR glasses mainstream, while Google could support them with optimized software.

Following the trend, the XR smart glasses could pack on-device AI capabilities. Some AI features will run directly on the device, others on the phone, and certain tasks will require cloud processing – unlocking “a whole new set of experiences.”
